DEAD IN THE WATER
People stand in line People stand in line People stand in
line A premonition of the killers angel eyes An armageddon sky
tell it like it is It's like the old man says We're dead in
the water now Dead in the water They come from miles around
They come from miles around They come from miles around In avarice
and love To suckle on the blood Of some forgotten god Sell it
like it is It's like the old man says We're dead in the water
now We're dead in the water now Dead in the water A simple act
of faith A simple act of faith A simple act of faith A celebration
of the colour and the creed The cancer and its seed Crackles
on the mic Can call it what you like We're dead in the water
now We're dead in the water now Dead in the water
CAROLINE
Caroline Those crazy eyes that shine The days blowing through
my mind Like falling leaves It ain't no good I tried hard as
I could But you just won't let My poor heart be The final war
A steel eyed dinosaur Girl I want you more Than I can say Ah
but Caroline It seems like everytime Honey all I get is further
away The state I'm in Got goosebumps on my skin See the water
I'll jump right in Your heart so free I'll face the facts It's
paper on the cracks Girl till I got you right Back here with
me The final war A steel eyed dinosaur Girl I need you more
Than I can say Ah but Caroline It seems like everytime Honey
all I get is further away Wooooo! The final war A steel eyed
dinosaur Girl I want you more Than I can say Ah but Caroline
It seems like everytime Honey all I get is further away Honey
all I get is further And further And further away
LONG DISTANCE CALL
If I lean my weight on it If I fix my heart to the line Might
find a way from it To some easy time My skins all white with
it I'm up so high when I fall I fall so far from it Ain't nowhere
at all Early morning sun Shine it and I'm gone To plane out
on the lake Hey hey yeah yeah To glide out on the wing Turn
around and sing The fear now taking hold I'll bring you love
but it's all been sold My heads all wired with it My tongue
gets tied when I speak The space inside roaring When that signal
break Early morning sun Shine it and I'm gone To plane out on
the lake Hey hey yeah yeah To glide out on the wing Turn around
and see The fire now taking hold I'll bring you love but it's
all been sold
FREEDOM
Take your eyes off me There's nothing here to see Just trying
to keep my head together And as we make our vow Let us remember
how There's nothing good that lasts forever Time out on the
running boards We're running Through a world that lost it's
meaning Trying to find a way to love This running Ain't no kind
of freedom Feel the touch of grief You stand in disbelief Can
steal the earth from right beneath you And falling in so far
They know just where you are Yeah but there ain't no way to
reach you Time out on the running boards We're running Through
a world that lost it's meaning Trying to find a way to love
This running Ain't no kind of freedom Of freedom Yeah yeah It's
time to clean these boats Fold up these parachutes The words
goodbye but I can't say it The end is close at hand I think
we understand There ain't no use trying to delay it Time out
on the running boards We're running Through a world that lost
it's meaning Trying to find a way to love This running Ain't
no kind of freedom Freedom freedom Time out on the running boards
We're running Through a world that lost it's meaning Trying
to find a way to love This running Ain't no kind of freedom
Of freedom Freedom (Instrumental verse, repeat chorus) Fasten
on my mask I'm bending to the task I know this work is never
finished And if I close my eyes I can still see you dancing
Laughing loud and undiminished
KANGAROO
Don't pay no mind to it Oh let it blow Break you up inside
If you don't let it go Jeez what are you like honey I don't
know Recommended by my bank And everybody in the tank First
of all I'd like to thank This might take a while honey Hey don't
blink Missing by a mile now we're Here on the brink Not a day
goes by honey I don't think I could be your volunteer We'll
make the whole thing disappear Saddle up we're outta here You
could be my olive branch Lift me up above the stench Walk me
through the avalanche Honey won't you be my flood Nothing ever
comes out good Trouble in the neighbourhood Conversations gone
askew And how do you make it fell like new Kookaburra kangaroo
Will you won't you be my leach Take it all and when I screech
Leave it there just outta reach Take me to that burning bush
Give me something I can't crush Lead me out into the hush So
far behind So far behind So far behind So far behind
LAST BOAT TO AMERICA
Make me a boat Away I'll float Into the stillness of a pure
blue sky There's nothing here to hold me now And I got no more
tears to cry Grant me a wish just one more kiss Oh baby kiss
me till the daylights through These are days of makebelieve
But there ain't nothing any fool can do Pin another dream on
me 'Cos the night is bearing down Baby lets go all the way this
time Sing me the truth sweet bird of youth I got some trouble
trying to understand Beneath the veils of mystery Are these
the movements of an unseen hand Our arms are full of sunken
treasure baby Now our heads are full of perfect sound But do
we truly see it hey Till we're placing it in the ground Take
just what you need from me 'Cos the night is bearing down Baby
lets go all the way this time Frost on my windowpane is forming
Don't pin that line on me oh no Don't pin that line on me oh
no no Don't pin that line on me oh no Don't pin that line on
me oh no no Baby lets go all the way this time Won't you take
me all the way this time Baby lets go all the way this time
Make me a boat Away I'll float Into the stillness of a pure
blue sky
REAL LOVE
The dawn in all its majesty Is stealing me away The dawn in
all its honesty Is turning me to clay And through the bars of
iron rain Way beyond and back again I hear the voice of Eden
cry Lift me up I'm walking on high It's real love Real love
This world in all its clarity Is glorious, is fake This world
in all its vanity Is more than I can take And down the road
the iron wheels Chain my heart to how it feels I hear the voice
of Eden cry Lift me up I'm walking on high It's real love Real
love Real love Real love And something in the heart of me Is
telling me it's time To meet the eye of destiny And leave it
all behind And through my bones an iron rage paints my soul
upon the page I hear the voice of Eden cry Lift me up to walk
on high Makes me wanna lay and die It's real love Real love
Real love Real love The dawn in all its majesty Is stealing
me away
KNOWHERE
Slow voices speaking through a hurricane Said that I wanted
but I lied Your looking good Hey man I can't complain Ghost
on the road at night Seen him out walking he's just skin and
bone I don't see nothing in her eyes Some call it hell felt
like a home from home I'm dreaming different skies I don't know
where I I don't know what I'm supposed to do now Get it on all
night I don't know where I I don't know what I It seems to me
boy That you're doing all right I don't know what I I don't
know where I Long way to go now Keep it all inside 36 hours
but my mind is fresh Live for the moment then I'm gone Suck
on that sympathy and feel the rush Go on my blue eyed son I
don't know where I I don't know what I'm supposed to do now
Get it on all night I don't know where I I don't know what I
It seems to me boy That you're doing all right I don't know
what I I don't know where I Long way to go now Keep it all inside
(Repeat chorus)
DECEMBER
All my tears will dry away All my tears will dry away All my
tears will dry away Words don't bother me no more Black money
falling to the floor Flags out on the balconies Black money
washing to the seas Oh my mind What happened to the time December
All my house got blown away All my house got blown away All
my house and all my home Walls of glass and walls of stone Got
blown away Stations in the neon light Your body strange as dynamite
Killers underneath our skins Black mirrors black hyacinths Oh
my eyes What happened to the skies December December December
BE MINE
From the very first moment I saw you That's when I knew All
the dreams I held in my heart Had suddenly come true Knock me
over stone cold sober Not a thing I could say or do 'Cos baby
when I'm walking with you now My eyes are so wide Like you reached
right into my head And turned on the light inside Turning on
the light Inside my mind hey Come on baby it's all right Sunday
Monday day or night Written blue on white it's plain to see
That rainy shiny night or day What's the difference anyway Baby
till your heart belongs to me If I had some influence girl With
the powers that be I'd have them fire that arrow at you Like
they fired it right at me And maybe when your heart and soul
are burning You might see That everytime I'm talking with you
It's always over too soon That everyday feels so incomplete
Till you walk into the room Say the word now girl I'll jump
that moon hey Come on baby it's ok Rainy shiny night or day
There's nothing in the way now Don't you see Winter summer day
or night Centigrade or fahrenheit Baby till your heart belongs
to me Thursday Friday short or long When you got a love so strong
How can it be wrong now mercy me Jumpin' Jesus holy cow ! What's
the difference anyhow Baby till your heart belongs to me
EASY WAY TO CRY
Smoke curls through my hands These one night stands Are making
me crazy I know Morning I'll go Crowds in the rain all passing
by Faith gone from your eyes Each word it flies Taking you further
away And come that day There ain't no easy way to cry And as
I watch you leave I stand Inside my house of straw And everywhere
I go I find Things recollecting to my mind How right it all
could be Faith gone from your eyes Each word it flies Straight
to the heart and I know Watching you go There ain't no easy
way to cry So right now So right now So right And as I watch
you leave I stand Inside my house of straw And everywhere I
go I find Things recollecting to my mind How right it all could
be Could be So right now So right now So right now So right
so right So right
THE OTHER SIDE
Meet me on the other side Meet me on the other side I'll see
you on the other side See you on the other side Honey now if
I'm honest I still don't know what love is Another mirage folds
into the haze of time recalled And now the floodgates cannot
hold All my sorrow all my rage A tear that falls on every page
Meet me on the other side Meet me on the other side Maybe I
oughta mention Was never my intention To harm you or your kin
Are you so scared to look within The ghosts are crawling on
our skin We may race and we may run We'll not undo what has
been done Or change the moment when it's gone Meet me on the
other side Meet me on the other side I'll see you on the other
side I'll see you on the other side I know it would be outrageous
To come on all courageous And offer you my hand To pull you
up on to dry land When all I got is sinking sand That trick
ain't worth the time it buys I'm sick of hearing my own lies
And love's a raven when it flies Meet me on the other side Meet
me on the other side I'll see you on the other side See you
on the other side Honey now if I'm honest I still don't know
what love is
