I can see the heat pour off of me.
I can see it burns you too, brother.
I can see the strength you took from me.
I can see it zapped you too, brother,
But we're not angels.
We're not fools.
Danger.
Danger.
I can see your allegiance to me.
I can see that I'm no fun anymore,
But we're not angels.
We're not cool.
Danger.
Danger.
She said "I'm not a unicorn.
You'll always find another one,"
And, "you're not a dying sun.
There's always another ray to your heart."
I'm holding out.
I'm holding out for a spaceman,
For a spaceman,
For the spaceman.
She said, "I'm not a unicorn.
Go out and get another one.
You're not a dying sun.
There's always another ray to your heart."
I'm holding out.
I'm holding out for a spaceman,
For a spaceman,
Brother spaceman.
I can see the heat pour off of me.
I can see it burns you too.

So, he's lying on top again
Just like Gepetto with his doll
And he's running around again
And I can't get him out of this house

And if you bore him, you lose your soul to him

So, that kid from the bad home came over my house again
Decapitated all my dolls

And if you bore me, you lose your soul to me

Hey, Gepetto, where'd you put it?
Poor, Gepetto, poor, poor

And if you bore him, you're gonna lose your soul

Hey Gepetto, where'd you get me?
Poor Gepetto, poor, poor

So, he's lying on top again
Just like Gepetto

. . .


On your third broken window,
Your hair full of glass,
Throw your clothes in the hallway,
Just a sheet on your back.
So you're super-connected now?
All the freaks gather around,
And the crowd in your bedroom waits
For a piece of your personal stash.
Are there heart strings connected
To the wings you've got slapped on your back?
Better climb in the window cause I'm closing the door.
On your third broken window,
With your hair full of glass,
Saw your clothes in the hallway,
Just a curtain on your back.
I laugh.
Are there heart strings connected
To the wings you've got slapped on your back?
Better climb in the window cause I'm closing the door.
Now I'm spinning on a dime.
Now I'm spinning on a dime.
Now I'm spinning on a dime.
Like you claim to do,
Like now, like now.
Are there heart strings connected
To the poison coming out of your mouth?
Are you super-connected?
Are you super-connected now?
I'm spinning on a dime.
Throw your clothes in the hallway,
And I'm closing the door.

He cries out her eyes
A fire unfurnaced
The curve of her spine
Is heaven unbound
But heaven is harsh
A fire unfaithful
Like a bird that you hold in your palm

I know where you hang
I drive by there often
I spy on the surface
And make with your friends
Heaven is harsh
A fire unfaithful
Like a bird that you hold in your palm

Broken eyes in your head
Broken arms at your side
Broken bird on a string

Shake it till she sings
And you reel that sucker in
By that broken baby wing
And you shake her till she sings
And you shake her till she sings

He cries out her eyes
As blue as her fingers
The curve of her ass
Is unparalleled
Heaven is harsh
A fire ungrateful
Like the bird that you hold in your palm

Broken eyes in your head
Broken arms at your side
Broken bird on a string

Shake it till she sings
And you reel that sucker in
By that broken baby wing
And you shake her till she sings
And you shake her till she sings

. . .


Written by Gram Parsons and Chris Ethridge.
You may be sweet and nice,
But that won't keep you warm at night
'Cause I'm the one who showed you how
To do the things you're doing now.
He may feel all your charms.
He might hold you in his arms,
But I'm the one who let you in.
I was right beside you in the end.
Once upon a time,
You let me feel you deep inside,
But nobody knew, nobody saw.
Do you remember the way we cried?
I'm your toy.
I'm your old boy,
But I don't want no one
But you to love me.
No, I wouldn't lie.
You know I'm not that kind of guy.
Once upon a time,
You let me feel you deep inside,
But nobody knew, nobody saw.
Do you remember the way we cried?
I'm your toy.
I'm your old boy,
But I don't want no one
But you to love me.
No, I wouldn't lie.
You know I'm not that kind of guy.

Written by Sherman and Sherman.
Hold still please.
Trust in me,
Just in me.
Close your eyes,
And trust in me.
We can sleep safe and sound,
Knowing I am around.
Slip into silent slumber.
Sail on a silver mist.
Slowly but surely,
Your senses will cease to resist.
Slip into silent slumber.
Sail on a silver mist.
Slowly but surely,
Your senses will cease to resist.
Trust in me,
Just in me.
Shut your eyes,
And trust in me.
You can sleep safe and sound,
Knowing I am around.

This old man I've talked about
Broke his own heart
Poured it in the ground
Big red tree grew up and out
Throws up its leaves
And spins round and round

I know all this and more
So take your hat off
When you're talkin' to me
And be there when
I feed the tree

This little squirrel I used to be
Slammed her bike down the stairs
They put silver where her teeth had been
Baby silver tooth, she grins and wins

I know all this and more
So take your hat off
When you're talkin' to me
And be there when
I feed the tree

This old man I used to be
Spins around, around
Around the tree
Silver baby, come to me
I'll only hurt you
In my dreams

I know all this and more
So take your hat off boy
When you're talkin' to me
And be there when
I feed the tree

Baby's playing dead in cellar
Gave her water just got paler
Grass stains back burns
She's a screamer
She's just dusted, leave her

If you see her, don't upset her
Never seems to get much better
Grass stains back burns
She's a screamer
She's just dusted, leave her

Her hmm, hmm, goes to your heart
Her hmm, hmm sticks in your head
Her hmm, hmm, hmm, hmmm

Baby's playing dead in cellar
Gave her water
Just got paler
Grass stains, back burns
She's a screamer
She's just dusted, leave her

. . .


Untame my brain.
Give me a name.
Hear my faith.
Seal my fate.
Unholy and dirty words I gathered to me,
Thinking the point was keep what's mine for me,
While he's laughing.
Hear my faith.
Seal my fate.
And when you breathe, you breathe for two.
And if you think you've finally found the perfect light,
I hope it's true.
Unholy and dirty words I gathered to me,
Thinking the point was keep what's mine for me,


While he's laughing.
On every track I fractured every back,
Thinking the point was step on every crack,
And he's laughing.
Hear my faith.
Seal my fate.
And when you breathe, you breathe for two.
And if you think you've finally found the perfect light,
I hope it's true.
You say you saw him laughing.
I hope it's true.
I'd like to see it happen. I hope it's true
'cause I can feel it.
I hope it's true.

Où je vis
Je vois des voiles descendre cacher nos blessures
Pauvres gens perdus seuls comme hier
Où je vis
Des sanglots se lèvent et vont voiler les etoiles
Une femme va ici et là sur les mains
Elle a peur de suivre la voie de ses pas
Où je vis
Une femme va ici et là sur les mains
Elle a peur de suivre la voie de ses pas
Oh, je ne veux que toi
J'avais cette robe la
Qui n'a jamais peur de rien quand on revient sur le soir
La lune se noie
Autour de moi
La lune se noie
Autour de moi
Et elle me fait voir qui tu es, qui tu es
Judas mon coeur
Judas mon coeur
Où je vis
Des sanglots se lèvent et vont voiler les étoiles
Et mon coeur a besoin de vie comme hier
Où je vis
Je vais et je viens ici et la sur mes mains
Et j'ai peur de suivre la voie de mes pas
Oh, je ne veux que toi
J'avais cette robe la
Je n'ai jamais peur de rien
Ne dis plus et c'est moi que voila
La lune se noie
Autour de moi
La lune se noie
Autour de moi
Et elle me fait voir qui tu es, qui tu es
Judas mon coeur, Judas mon coeur
Judas mon coeur, Judas mon coeur
Je vais chanter le même
Qui tu me feras ???
Oui, je vais chanter
Je vais chanter le même
Qui tu me feras ???
Oui, je vais chanter
Je vais chanter le même
Qui tu me feras ???
Oui, je vais chanter
Où je vis
Une femme s'en va sur ses mains
Elle laisse comme moi essayer
Par la voie où ses pas, où ses pas la mène
Par la voie où ses pas, où ses pas la mène
Par la voie où ses pas, où ses pas la mène
Par la voie où ses pas, où ses pas la mène
Où ses pas la mène
She loves me
Yeah, yeah...

. . .


Written by Jimi Hendrix.
If you can just get your mind together,
And come on across to me.
We'll hold hands
And then we'll watch the sunrise from the bottom of the sea.
But first, are you experienced?
Have you ever been experienced?
I have (I have). I've.
I know you probably scream and cry,
But your little world won't let you go.
But who in your mealsy little world are you trying to prove
To you that you're made of gold.
So, are you experienced?
Have you ever been experienced?
I have (I have). I have been.
Trumpets and violins I hear in the distance.
I think they're calling our names.
Maybe now you can live and that you would.
If you're lonely,
Hold my hand.
But first, are you experienced?
Have you ever been experienced?
Are you experienced?
Have you ever been experienced?
I have.

She wears her dress high
As high as she pulls her hat down low
She's seeking out the places
those other people can't go and hold her

Untouched by the sea
(Untouched by the sea)
She's walking on water when she walks in her sleep
She's dragging me through places
I didn't want to be seen

She is a liar
As I am a thief
Because of you I came
Because of you I leave

I wanna know
(I wanna know)
Why the monsters that hurt you so
don't look like those things that
we battled so long ago

And I thought I did my part
when I pulled you out of there
that night you left boot marks on my wall

You are my liar
So I will be your thief
Because of you I came,

Because of you I leave
Because of you I leave
Because of you I leave

Wake up baby,
We are home now
Wake up baby,
We are home now
Wake up baby

We are home now
We are home now
We are home now

We are home now

. . .


Sleep in now, now
Sleep in now, now, now
It's still night out, sleep in

Don't look at me looking back at you
Out the window backwards
Out the window backwards

Sleep

See this child twice stolen from me
Out the window backwards
Out the window backwards

Sleep in now, now
Sleep in now, now, now
Sleep now

Now fall to the bed
Put your hand in your hair
Now fall to the tile
Stick your finger in your eye
That's the only way you cry

Hey now, hey now
Full moon pass the window sideways
Hey now, hey now

Sleep in now, now
Sleep in now, now
Sleep in now, now

Sleep, sleep, sleep

. . .


Now I've lost the plot
I'm not the hero I could be
But not the dog I was
Kind of common cry
Kind of common living lie
Color my fast fading heart
People laugh at anything
And things just fall apart

Kind of common cry
Kind of commom living lie
You know the shape my breath will take
Before I let it out
Stand like you did
When I was beauty marked in your eyes

Now eyes burn circles in the dark
And when the mirror talks to me
I listen with my heart
Kind of commom cry
Kind of common living lie
You know the shape my breath will take
Before I let it out
Stand like you did
When I was beauty marked in your eyes
Stand like you did
When I was beauty marked in your eyes

. . .


In my garden
We were golden
Then you walked away
In my garden
You were something, there
You walked to me
Buried in my garden
I see you there
Buried in my garden
I will catch you there
That once, in my garden
Broken my shell
That once in my garden

Be there in my garden
Be there in my garden

In my garden
We were golden
Then you walked away
In my garden
We were something there
You walked away
Buried in your garde
I'll see you there
In my garden
I will catch you there
I was in my garden
Buried myself
I was in my garden
Buried myself

Be there in my garden
Be there in my garden

. . .


Leave him by the road
'Cause the dog won't run it
Picking through spit out leaves the dog won't even touch
Meant to shoot that dog long ago
Just can't leave that dog alone

Maria, carry a rifle
Maria, carry a dog on her back
That dog is hit again
That slow dog is hit again
With his see-through skin
The kind of skin you can see through
He's shot again
He's shot again

Heal me by a river
Man retires his wife, says:
But she was so sad and sick
His heart breaks in the mud

Thought I'd leave this world by twenty-one
Couldn't leave that dog alone

Maria, carry a rifle
Maria, carry a dog on her back
That dog is hit again
That slow dog is hit again
With his see-through skin
He's shot again
He's shot again
He's shot again

. . .


Hey bitchery,
You stole enough from me.
I gotta go.
I gotta go home now
In this misery.
You've had enough of me.
I gotta go.
I gotta go home now
Where there's easy love,
And there's easy life.
Dream on me
When you sleep.
Keep your head
Where you said it would be.
Dream on me
When you sleep.
Keep your head like you said.
Hey bitchery,


You stole enough from me.
I gotta go.
I gotta go home now
In this misery.
I've had enough of me.
I gotta go.
I gotta go home now
Where there's easy love,
And there's easy life.
Dream on me
When you sleep.
Keep your head where you said it would be.
Dream on me
When you sleep.
Keep your head like you said,
And you said, like you said, like you said.
Dream on me x3

. . .


climbing out,
we stumble around,
all smoky and soaked to the bone.
i carry the crown of a girl underground.
i'm down for a sweet ride,
i'm down for a sweet ride,
i'm down for a sweet ride,
so follow me down.
once was lost now am found.
this is my dream.

coming down,
and smiling too loud.
smoking and soaked to the bone,
we ware my mistake like a crown.
once was lost now am found.
i'm down for a sweet ride.
i'm down for a sweet ride.
i'm down for a sweet ride.
i'm down.
i'm down for a sweet ride.
(i lost him too).
i'm down for a sweet ride.
(and my vow made it new).
i'm down for a sweet ride,
(i lost it too).
so follow me down.
once was lost now am found.
once was lost now am found.
this is my dream.
