“Draw the Curtains”
Silhouette in the window
In the light walk away
Walk away Walk away
Never want to see you again
I say it’s true oh oh oh
But we know the truth oh oh oh, oh
Walk away, but remember our secret
Cuz I can’t wait, wait till the shadows fade
Draw the curtains
And let’s block the light
Close your eyes
We can see in the dark
Draw the curtains
Draw the curtains
Draw the curtains
And follow the breath from your lips
Feeling the colors we both know exist
Draw the curtains
Fight the lights
Only way in
We can see in the dark
Draw the curtains
Draw the curtains
In the trees it’s the sparrow
Stay away from my window
In your song there no promise
Never want to hear it again
I say it’s true oh oh oh
But we know the truth oh oh oh
Sing your song but remember my secret
Keep it close and wait till the shadows fade
“Chained to Change”
Here’s to the end of our sincerity
Life is bittersweet when there’s no clarity
(Oh, oh…)
Feel the weight, the weight of the plow
(Oh, oh…. hearts will be breaking)
If we hold it back we can revel in it now
We’re chained, chained to change, it’s all that remains:
There’s no escaping
We knew it, why didn’t we say it?
So hard for us to face it
We’re chained, chained to change
We fly in the face of predestination
(Oh, oh, hearts will be breaking)
It’s absolute, no, no hesitation
(It’s imminent, heats will be breaking)
We saw the end from the beginning
(feel the weight, the weight of it now)
All the takes, the takes we’ve been given
(Keep holding back, we can revel in it now)
We’re chained, chained to change, it’s all that remains:
There’s no escaping
We knew it, why didn’t we say it?
So hard for us to face it
We’re chained, chained to change
And if we knew it, why can’t we say it?
So hard when we can’t face it
We’re chained, chained to change
If we knew it, why can’t we say it?
So hard when we can’t face it
We’re chained, chained to change
(It’s imminent, hearts will be breaking)
“Burning Hearts”
Stay here, wait, let the black spiders crawl
You see them all, population under control
Seconds turn into hours, smoldering on your own
You’re so alone, so alone
Though your heart aches, you’re moving slowly
Hoping time waits for the the lonely
Why are you sitting on your own
Crying all alone?
Burning Hearts grow cold
Broken hearts, they will grow old
In your bones, fortune’s told
Burning Hearts, they all grow cold
You’re sitting still while you wait
Be good, do what you’re told
Look the other way, dip your toe, get cold
Entertain yourself, it’s all that you’ve ever known
Sitting there all alone
Though your heart aches, you’re moving slowly
Hoping time waits for the the lonely
I’m wondering why are you sitting on your own?
Tell me why are you crying all alone?
Burning Hearts grow cold
Broken hearts, they will grow old
In your bones, fortune’s told
Burning Hearts, they all grow cold
Sifting through the charcoal ruins in your ribs
Beginning something, uneasy and primitive
A little nudge, you’re falling
Your heart is spinning round and round…
Burning Hearts grow cold
Broken hearts, they will grow old
In your bones, fortune’s told
Burning Hearts, they all grow cold
“Blue Jean Youth”
Face to face
Arms embrace
Everything in place
Show me your blue jeans
Tell me I’m the one
Sew your patches on
My heart on your sleeve
Remember your blue jeans
Your blue jeans
Show me what you love
Love love
Oh oh oh
Is it things you love?
Is it things you love?
Show me what you love
Love love
Oh oh oh
Is it things you love?
Is it things you love?
A favorite record spun
For an iron lung
Such a rough trade
Show me your blue jeans
The words you say
A cold wave
What difference does it make
Remember your blue jeans
Your blue jeans
Show me what you love
Love love
Oh oh oh
Is it things you love?
Is it things you love?
Show me what you love
Love love
Oh oh oh
Is it things you love?
Is it things you love?
I got one more song
But the tape has run
On a teenage love
Show me your blue jeans
Your blue jeans
Show me what you love
Love love
Oh oh oh
Is it things you love
Is it things you love
“Bombs Away”
Bombs, bombs away
Dance all night, let’s die today
Bring em out, throw your grenades
Bombs on the way
Lay low lay lo lo lo lo
Lay low lay low low low
Stay low stay lo lo lo lo
Lay low lay low low low
Check your head down high
Put your guns to the sky
Lick the dragon fire
Gonna get Shanghai’d
Hai, High, Hi…
Bombs bombs on the way
Shut the door before it’s too late
Under ground, that’s where we stay
Pull up to my bunker, baby
Lay low lay lo lo lo lo
Lay low lay low low low
Stay low stay lo lo lo lo
Lay low lay low low low
Check your head down high
Put your guns to the sky
Lick the dragon fire
Gonna get Shanghai’d
Hai, High, Hi…
Lay Low…
Check your head down high
Put your guns to the sky
Lick the dragon fire
Gonna get Shanghai’d
You can close your eyes
Leave your mind behind
Let the dragon fly
Sky’s on fire!
