Crescent Moon

You been draggin’ me right down
Whenever you’re around
Why do you think I care?
When you don’t play fair?
(Say you love me true)
’Til the crescent moon
(Say you’re gonna be blue)
Every crescent moon
(I have to think of you)
I have to think of you
You been chasin’ me around
When the sun goes down
Well, it’s gonna end there soon
At the crescent moon
(Say you love me true)
’Til the crescent moon
(Say you’re gonna be blue)
Every crescent moon
(I have to think of you)
I have to think of you
(Say you want me back)
’Til the crescent moon
(Say my heart is black)
Every crescent moon
(You better face the facts)
Yeah, the crescent moon
Many moons have come and gone
And it don’t seem long
I took matters where I stand
In my own hands
(Say you love me true)
’Til the crescent moon
(Say you’re gonna be blue)
Every crescent moon
(I have to think of you)
I have to think of you
(Say you want me back)
’Til the crescent moon
(Say my heart is black)
Every crescent moon
(You better face the facts)
Yeah, the crescent moon

I'm Waiting

I never thought that you would lie
It’s over now, your turn to cry
I’m waiting
Said I’m waiting
I’m waiting
Yeah, I’m waiting
No more laughing at my cries
It’s over now, your turn to die
I’m waiting
Oh, I’m waiting
Said I’m waiting
Yeah, I’m waiting
I never thought that you would lie
It’s over now, your turn to cry
I’m waiting
I’m waiting
Said I’m waiting
Yeah, I’m waiting
I’m waiting
Yeah, I’m waiting
Said I’m waiting
Oh, I’m waiting

Lilly's 11th
03:59
|
|||
|
She don’t know what I want her to do
Her sins are so many, my mercies so few
But Lilly’s 11th trip to heaven
Went a little wrong—she stayed too long
She was the one who counted seven
That’s when I knew she was gone
She wasn’t the one to be cautious at play
Down the slide—’round the merry-go-round every day
But Lilly’s 11th trip to heaven
Went a little wrong—she stayed too long
She was the one who counted seven
That’s when I knew she was gone
You don’t know what I want you to do
Your sins are so many, my mercies so few
But Lilly’s 11th trip to heaven
Went a little wrong—she stayed too long
She was the one who counted seven
That’s when I knew she was gone… gone… gone… gone

Adeline

Is her pallid face as it seems?
(Into the night)
A vision so real so addling
(A glimmer of light)
Hovering, fading
Could it be Adeline?
Gossamer dress floating above
(Into the night)
Could it be the one I'm dreamin’ of?
(A glimmer of light)
Remembering, envisioning
Could it be Adeline?
Adeline
Adeline
Speak to me
Damned again by rumination
(Into the night)
Ghostly remnants of an opium dream
(A glimmer of light)
Wishing, posturing
Could it be Adeline?
Adeline
Adeline
Speak to me
Adeline
Adeline
Speak to me
I stand beguiled then sit enraptured
(Into the light)
Frozen and robbed of my speech
(A glimmer of light)
Beckoning and gesturing
Come and follow me
Adeline
Adeline
Speak to me
Adeline
Adeline
Speak to me
Oh, speak to me
Speak to me

Tangerine Submarine
03:51
|

|
Fasten the mainstay
Anchors aweigh
Brace yourself for a face full of salt spray
Grab the rudder
Dive under water
Even though you know you hadn’t oughta
Packed together tighter than a sardine
’Neath the waves together yeah we careen
Scanning your smokestacks
I’m on the attack
Set your convoys hounding my wolf pack
Climbing the mainmast
Until we’re calloused
And I finally have to blow the ballast
Silent running in the darkness we’ll grope
’Neath the waves ’til you cry “Up periscope”
We’re awash in an ocean of saline
Touch off my fully loaded magazine
All across your latitude I’ll circumvene
Up and down on my tangerine submarine
Packed together tighter than a sardine
’Neath the waves together yeah we careen
We’re awash in an ocean of saline
Touch off my fully loaded magazine
All across your latitude I’ll circumvene
Up and down on my tangerine submarine

You were filled with doubt, but now you're a believer
You were walkin’ the streets, but now you're not so eager
You never realized it could happen to you
At the stroke of twelve you’ll know the truth
They will never ever know who I am, where I go,
But I'm always there
(I’m always there)
(I'm always there)
(I'm always there)
A hand full of grapes and her senses leave her
A one way ride with a mean mistreater
In the light of day they’ll find her there
They’ll look around, but I’m everywhere
They will never ever know who I am, where I go,
But I’m always there
(I’m always there)
(I’m always there)
(I’m always there)
A hand full of grapes and her senses leave her
A one way ride with a mean mistreater
In the light of day they’ll find her there
They’ll look around, but I’m everywhere
They will never ever know who I am, where I go,
But I’m always there
(I’m always there)
(I’m always there)
(I’m always there)

Like a Pill
03:20
|
|||
|
I don’t know why I love you still
To me your love is like a pill
Can’t take your degradation
Can’t stand a separation
The pain I’ll hide—swallow my pride
Just like a pill
When you touch me it’s such a thrill
If you want me you know I will
Your love is like a cancer
I just can’t find the answer
Eats me inside—gives me a high
Just like a pill
Oh yeah you’re nothin’ special
Baby that is unless you’ll
Live up to your reputation
You’re not worth the aggravation
I don’t know why I love you still
To me your love is like a pill
Can’t take your degradation
Can’t stand a separation
The pain I’ll hide—swallow my pride
Just like a pill
Just like a pill
Just like a pill, just like a pill, just like a pill…

From the icy fog to super novas
Studying the ghostly corridor
Reach for cracks in the sheltering sky
Tearing down the minute you call your life
See these hands clench and tremor?
Carny-colored faces peeling
In this house of smoke and mirrors
Turn your faded eyes away
Splintered diamonds on a blinding sea
The seduction of the Minotaur
Forever, and ever, nevermore
See these hands clench and tremor?
Carny-colored faces peeling
In this house of smoke and mirrors
Planted in the cool and dampened earth
Fingers gnarled like roots in the sod
Moss carpets the cracks in your stone
Dirt path across a mound alas forgot
See these hands clench and tremor?
Carny-colored faces peeling
In this house of smoke and mirrors
Mary had a little lamb
And her fleece was white as smoke
And every time she looked in the mirror
The lamb started to cough and choke

Shallow Grave
05:56
|

|
Your actions were foreboding
Yeah, I should’ve known
Your love it was eroding
It chilled me to the bone
It wasn’t like before
You wanted more
Even though I gave
Everything you craved
I tried to make you my own
All you want’s a slave
My love was yours alone
But your heart’s depraved
It wasn’t like before
You wanted more
Even though I gave
Everything you craved
You betrayed
But I still forgave
All the words you said
Hoped you would behave
But you lied instead
Hung me by a thread
Left me here for dead
Now I lay
In a shallow grave
What lies beneath the surface
Ineffable script
Soul cast into a furnace
Now cold ash in a crypt
It wasn’t like before
You wanted more
Even though I gave
Everything you craved
You betrayed
But I still forgave
All the words you said
Hoped you would behave
But you lied instead
Hung me by a thread
Left me here for dead
Now I lay
In a shallow grave
My blind eyes couldn’t see
The portent of doom
Your grip of villainy
In which I was entombed
It wasn’t like before
You wanted more
Even though I gave
Everything you craved
You betrayed
But I still forgave
All the words you said
Hoped you would behave
But you lied instead
Hung me by a thread
Left me here for dead
Now I lay
In a shallow
You betrayed
But I still forgave
All the words you said
Hoped you would behave
But you lied instead
Hung me by a thread
Left me here for dead
Now I lay
In a shallow grave
