Cellar Door

Are you the only star left shining?…. Dawn breaks on another day
Are you the stone skipping over the ocean in the darkness of the bay?
Are you the angel in the orchard? As the light is giving way...
Are you the tail of Ursa Minor at the closing of the day?
There’s the pain that uses you There’s the pain that you can use....
When the sky is dark as murder Is it so hard to choose?......
Change came and change stayed Killed all of the plans we made...
So In the shadow of the wild trees I will never say I’m never gonna say......
There’s the pain that uses you There’s the pain that you can use....
When the sky is dark as murder Is it so hard to choose?......
And all of the time we wasted... Seeing Frank at the cellar door....
And all of the time that we wasted trying to wash all of the blood off the kitchen floor
Are you the chaos? Are you the fury? Are you the rain on the broken shore?
Or the wind that’s ripping over the wasteland? On the cold nights, and the long long days
There’s the pain that uses you There’s the pain that you can use....
When the sky is dark as murder Is it so hard to choose?......
“Do you believe in time travel?”
There’s the pain that uses you... There’s the pain that you can use....
When the sky is dark as murder Is it so hard to choose?......
And all of the time we wasted... Seeing Frank at the cellar door....
And all of the time that we wasted trying to wash all of the blood off the kitchen floor
“Ten days - six hours - forty two minutes - twelve seconds. That --- is when the world - will end.”
And all of the time we wasted... Seeing Frank at the cellar door....
And all of the time that we wasted trying to wash all of the blood off the kitchen floor

We - burn - in - slow - motion
Time to go
Set sail on a- cid oceans
Overflow…..
Disinformation
You believe
All that you’ll never ever know ...
I’ll fly right out of the world today,
Won’t you look at me?
Look now - can you see me?
It’s all I’ve been dreaming of all my days
Look now - can you see me?
This ship is sinking
Know your place
I see them on television
Human Race
No tax man
It’s okay ‘cos
I’m flying into outer space
I’ll fly right out of the world today,
Won’t you look at me?
Look now - can you see me?
It’s all I’ve been dreaming of all my days
Look now - can you see me?
GUITAR...
I’ll fly right out of the world today,
Won’t you look at me?
Look now - can you see me?
It’s all I’ve been dreaming of all my days
Look now - can you see me?
I’ll fly right out of the world today,
Won’t you look at me?
Look now - can you see me?
It’s all I’ve been dreaming of all my days
Look now - can you see me?
I’ll fly right out of the world today,
Won’t you look at me?
Look now - can you see me?
It’s all I’ve been dreaming of all my days
Look now - can you see me?

Million Dollar Smile
06:30

Lost your credit card in the bar
Leave the keys up on the kitchen table
Then the silence in the car
And I don’t know any more.....
Run me over just like a train
So sour in the early morning rain
Nothing’s ever gonna be the same
And I don’t know any more.....
A million dollar smile ... That says “Stay for a while
If you stay too long ... I’ll hurt you.”
Because the universe That’s sucking all of us in
Is just like it’s always been .....
Can’t look away ... Can’t look away ....
Can’t look away .... Don’t look away....
Down to the shore .... Down to the bay....
A million dollar smile - that says “Stay for a while...
A million dollar smile ………
She said “We’re all just all dead men walking free.”
“Don’t you kick yourself, because it’s complicated.”
“It’s just a question of degree...”
“Forget tomorrow and let it go ..”
Wiped my memories, changed my face ...
And I changed my name - when I left this place ...
Now it’s cold and it's 3am
And I don’t know any more ..
A million dollar smile ... That says “Stay for a while
If you stay too long ... I’ll hurt you.”
Because the universe That’s sucking all of us in
Is just like it’s always been .....
Can’t look away ... Can’t look away ....
Can’t look away .... Don’t look away....
Down to the shore .... Down to the bay....
A million dollar smile - that says “Stay for a while...
A million dollar smile ………
On and on and on and on.....
On and on and on and on.....
A million dollar smile ... That says “Stay for a while
If you stay too long ... I’ll hurt you.”
Because the universe That’s sucking all of us in
Is just like it’s always been .....
Can’t look away ... Can’t look away ....
Can’t look away .... Don’t look away....
Down to the shore .... Down to the bay....
A million dollar smile - that says “Stay for a while...
A million dollar smile ………
A million dollar smile ... That says “Stay for a while
If you stay too long ... I’ll hurt you.”
Because the universe That’s sucking all of us in
Is just like it’s always been .....
Can’t look away ... Can’t look away ....
Can’t look away .... Don’t look away....
Down to the shore .... Down to the bay....
A million dollar smile - that says “Stay for a while...
A million dollar smile ………

On The Way
03:48
|

Yeah, I was standing in the doorway when the phone rang
But it stopped before I could pick up
Didn’t take much imagination to figure out who.
And all week I’d been having this nagging feeling
Like a kind of slow itch - somewhere behind the eyes
Yeah, more cold sweat on a two day shirt
Empty take out cartons - cold coffee - and fear
Can’t stop looking over my shoulder now
You always said that they won’t forget - they don’t forgive
And that it doesn’t matter where you try to hide ...
Well I shut off the light and I split the blind – just a crack
So that only a blue neon flicker was mocking me from across the alley
Telling me to move, telling me I should never have come here
And that Jag with the blacked out windows - it’s still there -
It hasn’t moved for thirty six hours
When the Corsican arrived I should have know
When I saw the money I should have known
When the girl left? I should have gone
But I stayed …..
I can hear glass breaking two floors down. It’s very faint, like in a dream
So it won’t be long now, and there’s nowhere to go
And I remember all the times I waited – all the things that I left undone
You know they’ll come looking for you – so stay two steps ahead
You know I that I left that bastard in a pool of his own blood
So listen carefully now ….
The locker key is taped underneath your nightstand at the back
Make sure you burn the house and torch the car, leave nothing to find
Pick up the bag and the thirty eight – forget about me
And don’t ever look back …..

Water And Salt
07:35
|

There’s something sinking in the water
So I watch it go
All the treasure that we gathered
I should know
Because you know it’s always midnight
In the basement of the soul
As you gather all the pictures
Time that we stole
And you were always burning bridges
I remember - I recall
But you were shooting first, asking question later - if at all
And all the waiting
Will soon be over
It’s only water and salt
And all the fighting
All the crying
It’s only water and salt
It’s not your fault
Never going to make it better.
And you know that I’ll never sell
They say no tree can grow to heaven
Until it’s roots reach down to hell
In the garden of the demons
In the gutter of the night
‘Till you see the shadows of the lost ones
The first blood of the fight
And plead and beg and twist and turn and tear the past apart again again again ..
But you were praying to the sky that’s burning golden ashes thats a start, again that’s a start ..
And all the waiting
Will soon be over
It’s only water and salt
And all the fighting
All the crying
It’s only water and salt
It’s not your fault
It’s not your fault
It’s not your fault

The Pool
03:54
|

You can find me there by the riverside
With the yellow hills all around
You can find me there by the Yew trees
On the rockfall at the pool we found
You can find me there when the light leaves
You can find me there and I do believe
Cos you know that .....
When you’re far from here
In another life
Running in the wild
And you know you know
But you told them so
But you’re not a child
And you always knew
It would come around
That the day would come
But you wanna stay
To the very end ....
Don’t stay till the last song
All the rain that ever fell
Is never gonna fill that well
Anyway, I know ...
The snow is gonna fall again
With a silver box and a blue stone
You can find me there And I do believe
Cos you know that ......
When you’re far from here
In another life
Running in the wild
And you know you know
But you told them so
But you’re not a child
And you always knew
It would come around
That the day would come
But you wanna stay
To the very end ....
Don’t stay till the last song
You can find me there by the waterfall
Watching it all come down
You can find me there by the Yew trees
On the rock fall at the pool we found
You can find me there when the light leaves
You can find me there and I do believe
Cos you know that ...
When you’re far from here
In another life
Running in the wild
And you know you know
But you told them so
But you’re not a child
And you always knew
It would come around
That the day would come
But you wanna stay
To the very end ....
Don’t stay till the last song
When you’re far from here
In another life
Running in the wild
And you know you know
But you told them so
But you’re not a child
And you always knew
It would come around
That the day would come
But you wanna stay
To the very end ....
Don’t stay till the last song

You See Indigo
05:35
|
|||
So don’t pretend that it was easy
The shaking of the tree
Take a cold hard look at tomorrow now
You don’t like what you see
Last car leaving .. heading home
And you’re shutting up the bar
But it’s only when the lights go out
That you can see the stars
Close your eyes and you see indigo
Walking out into the night
And your favourite song is on the radio
It’s alright ...
When he told you he was leaving
And it all came to an end
And you thought the sky was falling down
But every corner holds a friend
A cold night coming in the desert sky
You’re sitting in the car
Because it’s only when the lights go out
That you can see the stars
GUITAR
Tail lights drifting – back and forth
No more talking on the phone
And it seems like a bucket full of promises
You’re always on your own
So take a pocket full of nothing at all
And a worn out old guitar
Because it’s only when the lights go out
That you can see the stars
Close your eyes and you see indigo
Walking out into the night
And your favourite song is on the radio
It’s alright ...
Close your eyes and you see indigo
Walking out into the night
And your favourite song is on the radio
It’s alright ...

Risk

When the war
Is over
And I dream
I’d meet you there
When we’re all
Falling
How can it be
I’ll see you there?
And this boat
Is a new life
They’ve taken everything
And more
Out on the sea
And I’m sinking
Wash me up
Upon the shore
All the shells fell
And the soldiers
And all that we could see
Was pain
But you should know
You’re my brother
You should know
We’re the same
I lost the faces
Of the children
I don’t feel the hailstones
Any more
And you’ll forget me
By the morning
Wash me up
Upon the shore
Wash me up
Upon the shore
Wash me up
Upon the shore
Wash me up
Upon the shore
