Following my lust for wander
Everywhere I've ever been
I can't escape from the sound of it
The sound of my screaming skin

My skin cries, my blood sighs
I still owe some dread on this hide

Following my trust in wonder
I watch the circus begin
I can't ignore the scent of it
The scent of my screaming skin

My skin cries, my blood sighs
I still owe some dread on this hide

La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La
La-la-la-la-la-la-la

I'm a multi-cellular individual
You're way out of proportion
We've got a haemodynamic connection
Don't call me germ

Allowing for my strength to muster
My losses begin to win
Tropical winds start to bluster
Raising the fur on my skin

My skin cries, my spirits fly
But I still owe some dread on this hide

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Yeah

I'm a multi-cellular individual
You're way out of proportion
We've got a haemodynamic connection
And don't call me germ

Swallowing my pride no longer
I take the forbidden sun
If I have been sculpted by hunger
I'm not the only one

My skin cries, my blood sighs
I still owe some dread on this hide of mine

La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

I'm a multi-cellular individual
You're way out of proportion, ah-ha
We've got a haemodynamic connection
Don't call me germ

My skin cries, my spirit flies
But I still owe some dread on this hide

My skin cries, my blood sighs
And I still owe some dread on this hide of mine

My spirit flies, my blood sighs
And I still owe some dread on this hide of mine I'm not the only one

My skin cries, my spirit flies
But I still owe some dread on this hide

In the beginning, in the days before time, the light was alive with the essence of power. And from that power were born beings who lived on the edge of eternity, and they spread their wings and soared through the ancient air. And the beating of their wings made the winds, and from the winds came the seas, and from the seas came the life of the Earth.

Nature's cast upon the sea, the winds of past, of promise be
Waters deep and cunning, a scheme of sleep as lovers breathe

If you forgive me my ferocity I won't forget your sweetness
Pull down the night, lay it before me
Gratify my head with curses

Night recalls tranquillity, a curtain falls and sets it free
Darkness calls eternity down silent halls the shadows flee

If you forgive me my ferocity I won't forget your sweetness
Pull down the night, lay it before me
Satisfy my head with curses

Forgive and forget, forgive and forget, forgive and forget

Fates are cast upon the sea, the winds of past, of promise be
Waters deep and cunning, a scheme of sleep as lovers breathe

Forgive and forget, forgive and forget

She moves like she don't care, smooth as silk, cool as air
Ooh it makes you wanna cry
She doesn't know your name and your heart beats like a subway train
Ooh it makes you wanna die
Ooh don't you wanna take her?
Wanna make her all your own
Maria, you've gotta see her
Go insane and out of your mind
Medina, Ave Maria
A million and one candlelights

I've seen this thing before in my best friend and the boy next door
Fool for love and fool on fire
Won't come in from the rain, seas, oceans running down the drain
Blue as ice and desire
Don't you wanna make her?
Ooh don't you wanna take her home?

Maria, you've gotta see her
Go insane and out of your mind
Regina, Ave Maria
A million and one candlelights

Ooh don't you wanna break her?
Ooh don't you wanna take her home?

She walks like she don't care, you wanna take her everywhere
Ooh it makes you wanna cry
She's like a millionaire walking on imported air
Ooh it makes you wanna die

Maria, you've gotta see her
Go insane and out of your mind
Medina, Ave Maria
A million and one candlelights

Maria, you've gotta see her
Go insane and out of your mind
Regina, Ave Maria
A million and one candlelights

Maria, you've gotta see her
Go insane and out of your mind
Regina, Ave Maria
A million and one candlelights

Maria, you've gotta see her
Go insane and out of your mind
Regina, Ave Maria
A million and one candlelights

There's no sin in this, getting dressed to kill
Laughing down the sun like a jackal will
With his eyes ablaze and his lips apart
He's gonna fill his cup with the love in your heart
And drink it up 'til the morning starts
Circulate the red light vistas, get the girls and get their sisters
Pinch 'em up and give 'em blisters, kissing fierce with all his might
Forever

Bye-bye to another life
Bye-bye to another life
Bye-bye to another life
Bye-bye to another life

Standing on the verge of the edge of the ledge
Waiting for me to fall, then I got a call that said
"Hey, wait up homey, you must be trippin'
You can't be puttin' that sippin' and whippin' up in your pippin'
You better stand tall, fool you was born to ball
Took a little fall and now you wanna end it all
You been chasin' dreams like a hound dog on the hunt
Take your place in the front, put your hand on the pump
And it's right in your grasp man, I know they laughin'
But you'll be laughin' later 'cause times is gonna get greater
You's a player and when I say player I mean player
'Cause your daddy and your uncle was a player

Who's gonna cry for ya? Who's gonna cry over you?
Who's gonna cry for ya? Who's gonna cry over you?

Put yourself in your position
You ain't wishin' for no warmth and no food and no light
So you must be doin' all right

But wait a minute, something's wrong, it's lunatic, it's mad, insane
Busted like a water main, indulgence in another vein
What they're saying 'round the neighbourhood is what he's drinking's not aged in wood
He's filling out, he's all blowed up, he's all blowed up, he's gotten fat
He's filling out, he's all blowed up, he's all blowed up, he's gotten fat
And sure enough at the Midnight Lounge there's a dent in the seat where the vampire sat

Bye-bye to another life
Bye-bye to another life

Living dead is doing time like drowning on the circle line

Who's gonna cry for ya?
Who's gonna cry for you, why for you?
Who's gonna cry over you?
Tell me would they lie to you, die for you?

Who's gonna cry for ya?
You're hoping that it's true for you, you and you, fool!
Who's gonna cry over you?
But who's gonna cry?

Who's gonna cry for ya?
Who's gonna cry for you, why for you?
Who's gonna cry over you?
Die for you, die for you, die for you

Who's gonna cry for ya?
Who's gonna cry for you, why for you?
Who's gonna cry over you?

Who's gonna cry for ya?
Die for you, die for you, die for you
Who's gonna cry for ya?
Who's gonna cry for you, why for you?

Who's gonna cry for ya?

Looking for your face where it could never be
I'm following a trail that only I can see
Blazing waves of heat I press on in tiny bursts of speed
Caught in my pursuit I pay the fetishist admission
The longing that I feel drives me mad in no direction
Nailed by something cute I tear it out with micro-surgical precision

Incender, put some gas on the ember
Lightning goes to ground
Incender, crazy fool on a bender
Striking the ground, burning me down

Double take, left with an aftertaste
I look again, was it your face?
Double take, I'm in an altered state
I look again, was it really you?

Another flash of face, igniting and familiar
Pulls me by the eye to the perimeter
Riveting my gaze, is that your face in the crowd?

Incender, drop some gas on the ember
I felt a slap in the face
Incender, crazy fool on a bender
Striking the ground, burning me down

Double take, left with an aftertaste
I look again, was it your face?
I fell awake, I'm in an altered state
I look again, was it really you?

Double take, left with an aftertaste
I look again [Looking for your face where it could never be]
Was it your face? [I'm following a trail that only I can see]
Double take, I'm in an altered state
I look again, was it really you?

I'm following a trail that only I can see

Some days are all Mondays - sort of time on ice
It seems like jet planes on snowed-in runways under clear blue skies
Who needs it?

Nothing is real but the girl
Nothing is real but her

Money goes to money in a figure eight around me
Money
Who's gonna love me if I liquidate and drown me?

Nothing is real but the girl
Nothing else feels solid

We believe in love
We believe in little things like heaven up above and seven
It's a lucky number
We believe that something lives inside everything there is
Don't think about it much, I mean it
I believe it, I believe it

Wind down, put your mind down like you're missing school
You'll teach her to find out why you're dying in your living room
How much you need her

Nothing is real but the girl
Only her eyes are solid
Nothing is real but her
Nothing is real but the girl

Passing the match test, that's some kind of tease
'Cause everything rests on the moment the little flame sees
Let's go ... boom boom in the zoom zoom room
If you get past that brief little flash take down my number with your pencil moustache
Play truth or dare in the light of a strike anywhere, don't follow the fallen already lying down there
Let's go ... boom boom in the zoom zoom room
Oh yeah, oh, boom boom in the zoom zoom room

I'll be the cause you can champion, your scarlet companion and won't it be fun?
Keeping my head above water, I'm no farmer's daughter, no clinging vine

When we trip the light fantastic we're feeling so rare
If you follow your features outlined by the glare, yeah
Let's go ... boom boom in the zoom zoom room
Let's go ... boom boom in the zoom zoom room

I'll be the cause you can champion, your scarlet companion and won't it be fun?
Keeping my head above water, I'm no farmer's daughter, no clinging vine

Passing the match test and no one says thank you 'cause they're gone just as fast as a breeze
Boom boom in the zoom zoom room
Yeah, let's go ... boom boom in the zoom zoom room
Oh let's go, let's go ... boom boom in the zoom zoom room
Boom boom in the zoom zoom room
Boom boom in the zoom zoom room
Boom boom in the zoom zoom room
Boom boom in the zoom zoom room
Let's go, let's go ... boom boom in the zoom zoom room
Boom boom in the zoom zoom room

Your music by the night wind sent awakes my quiet instrument
In the silence of your steps I can see into the depths
Messenger of sympathies, my heart beats loud in ecstasy
When your shadow falls on me, a silhouette, reality
And I chase every night after you
And I chase after you

Of all your loaded mysteries, the colour of your sympathies
My words cannot express your awful loveliness
So come with me through smoke and mirrors, we'll bring our differences nearer
We'll float upon an inland sea, embody visions of a dream

And I chase every night after you

I got a chill and the night wind sent me a chill
And the night wind sent me a chill

You wander through my sleeping mind reading thoughts I've left behind
I always know when you've been there, tangles of perfume fill my hair
Your music by the night wind sent awakes my quiet instrument
In the silence of your steps I can see into the depths

I still can picture him, his hands in his back pockets
He wasn't much for words but when the wise kids made a racket
He just had to go downtown, throw his weight around
For starting over

Say did you hear I got a band? Some guys I know from LA
Put in the Rio Grande, I'll pay you back next Friday
You know it sure ain't bug, just some cats I dig
They said they'd do the gig

Oh Desperado why don't you spend your life in Colorado?
Oh Restless Shadow, out in the blue hills you're feeling hollow
Oh El Diablo why did you spend your life in California?
I should have warned ya
No place to go now but falling over

Some guys can't make it on the run
Under the gun
Not for the younger
Oh Jack Daniels I feel your hunger

I know you did your best but you thought that you did not
I wish that I had known before I heard the last shot
You know it's not a sin, that little badge of tin
Just a momento

So sad your love remained
My comrades lost in battle
The music was a din from London to Seattle
We all made you play and all our yesterdays are starting over

Oh Desperado why don't you spend your life in Colorado?
Oh Restless Shadow, out in the blue hills you're feeling hollow
Oh El Diablo why did you spend your life in California?
I should have warned ya
No place to go now but falling over

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

He don't hang around with the gang no more
He don't do the wild things that he did before
Ooh-ooh-ooh he used to act bad, used to but he quit it
It makes me so sad 'cause I know that he did it for me [And I can see]
I can see his heart [Still in the street]
His heart is out in the street

He don't comb his hair like he did before
He don't wear those dirty old black boots no more
Ooh-ooh-ooh but he's not the same, there's something 'bout his kisses
That tells me he's changed, I know there's something missing inside [Tell me more]
Something died [Still in the street]
His heart, his heart is out in the street

He grew up on the sidewalk, streetlights shining above
He grew up with no one to love
He grew up on the sidewalk, he grew up running free
He grew up and then he met me

He don't hang around with the gang no more
Gee he doesn't smile like he did before
Ooh-ooh-ooh I wish I didn't care, I wish I'd never met him
They're waiting out there so I got to set him free [Send him back]
He's gotta be [Out in the street]
His heart is out in the street

He don't hang around with the gang no more [He's out in the street]
He don't hang around with the gang no more
He don't hang around with the gang no more [He's out in the street]
He don't hang around with the gang no more
He don't hang around with the gang no more [He's out in the street]
He don't hang around with the gang no more
He don't hang around with the gang no more [He's out in the street]
He don't hang around with the gang no more

I'm like a happy dog who's been alone too long
I wanna wag for you baby
Raise a flag of white, shake and shag
I wanna wag for you baby

Come on now throw me some bone
I'm ripping up your song
I wanna be your dog
Skinny or fat, I'm gonna go with that and chase your pussy-cat

Be my happy dog, my leaping frog
And jump all over me
'Cause my little mutt's got that hairy butt
He's gonna wag it for me baby

Hey come over here Mr Licks
I like when you pick up sticks
When you throw me a fit
And no matter what you tell the tale of a pup 'cause you're my kind of mutt

I disagree, I wanna itch you like a flea
Gonna teach my old dog some new tricks
Mmm-hmm

Don't be begging me, just take a seat in my lap of luxury
'Cause I'm a happy dog who's been alone too long
I wanna wag for you baby

Come on now throw me some bone
I'm ripping up your song
I wanna be your dog
Skinny or fat, I wanna go with that and chase your pussy-cat

I wanna wag for you baby
I wanna wag for you
Wag for you baby
I wanna wag for you
Wag for you baby

I wake up laughing, thrown from a nightmare
I come down standing when I'm tossed in the air
Bright as Tijuana, like a dose of Bella Donna
I could cry but I don't wanna and the dream's lost on me

I come out shooting when trouble comes knocking
I greet bad news by sending it walking
Happy or just crazy, relaxed or lazy
Gonna keep my vision hazy and the dream's lost on me

Cares are all buckshot and buffalo
Every dark has an afterglow
I'm not afraid of what's down below
I keep my sights on the sky

I wake up laughing, thrown from a nightmare
I come down standing when I'm tossed in the air
Bright as Tijuana, like a dose of Bella Donna
I could cry but I don't wanna and the dream's lost on me

I come out shooting when trouble comes knocking
I greet bad news by sending it walking
Happy or just crazy, relaxed or lazy
Gonna keep my vision hazy and the dream's lost on me

Not of this world entirely
Heaven sent, you are my deity
Lived through all the romance sadly meant for me

All I need is a sign, make your presence known to mine
Come to me and I will be divine

I wear the spell you put on me
Like a charm no one else can see
Keeps away the wicked badly meant for me

All I need is a sign, make your presence known to mine
Come to me and I will be divine

And when I thought my fire finally died
I felt your spell tight as evertide

No one is above the rituals of love
Temptation calls and the stars fall from the blue
There is no limitation except for me and you

Live through all the romance sadly meant for me

All I need is a sign, make your presence known to mine
Come to me and I will be divine

All I need is a sign, make your presence known to mine
Come to me and I will be divine

All I need is a sign, make your presence known to mine
Come to me and I will be divine

Dig up the conjo, breaking the mojo, dig up the conjo, making me well
Who do you love?
You're lost, got a gun to your head
Hearing drums in the night, going blind
Hypnotise

Lost in the Congo, holding the bongo, Kilimanjaro, dig up the conjo
Listen too far
With the name Little Heart, be like Saints Go Marching In

Deep in the bayou, demon inside you, put on the hoodoo, put on the hoodoo
Who do you love?
"Hey, mommy, do you see that man? Hey, mommy, I don't understand."
"It's only a zombie honey, hailing a cab
Just hold my hand and don't look in his face."

Jungle inside you, something's beside you, doing the mambo, dig up the conjo
Who do you love?

Aloha down the well, come and ring the bell, the jungle's burning down
Lost in the Congo, beating the bongo, dig up the conjo
Who do you love?

Took a bus in the sun, hold your breath
Something comes, it's so long, half alive, watching you while it flies
Lost in the Congo, beating the bongo, breaking the mojo, dig up the conjo
Beating the bongo, holding the mojo, making me well
