Weather's Coming

Paranoia

Well, he’s running around
And he doesn’t know why
He came too quick last saturday night
He’s got a word to say to you
And he’s got to tell you quick
‘Cause it’s long been due

You’ve got to take it easy
Going all around, going to shout now
You’ve got to take it easy
Going around and shout
That he doesn’t know how

Paranoia, hmmm, paranoia, hmmm
Paranoia, hmmm, paranoia, hmmm
Makes me wonder if I had done this
Makes me wonder if I had done that

Are my jeans too short
Is my hair too big
Do I talk too much
Should I do the gig

He’s going round the bend
And he can’t tell now
Which of his friends are friends

You’ve got to take it easy
Going on and on and on ???
You’ve got to take it easy
Going round and shout
Like he doesn’t know how

Paranoia, hmmm, paranoia, hmmm
Paranoia, hmmm, paranoia, hmmm
Makes me wonder if I had done this
Makes me wonder if I had done that
Makes me wonder if I had done this
Makes me wonder if I had done that

Paranoia, hmmm, paranoia, hmmm
Paranoia, hmmm, paranoia, hmmm

Paranoia, hmmm, paranoia, hmmm
Paranoia, hmmm, paranoia, hmmm
Makes me wonder if I had done this
Makes me wonder if I had done that
Makes me wonder if I had done this
Makes me wonder if I had done that
What might (?) have happened if I had done this
Will it be gone that way if I had done that

He’s gone

Well, I’m in pain
But I won’t admit it, no
I’m too proud
I want to hide it

‘Cause I’m afraid
Of the consequences
Still want to dance
And wear the sequence

Yeah, I am aware
That I may look different
But who needs the looks
When you know the tricks

People stare
They’re scared I’ll touch them
And spread the virus
Of the burnt out flame

My baby left me
He’s gone
My baby left me
He’s gone
He took with him
My happy home
My baby left me
He’s gone

I’ll tango with a glass
Of whiskey in my hand
The only reliable partner
At this moment I can stand
I got the blues
This you don’t choose, no

My baby left me
He’s gone
My baby left me
He’s gone
He took with him
My happy home
My baby left me
He’s gone

My baby left me
He’s gone
My baby left me
He’s gone
He took with him
My happy home
My baby left me
He’s gone

My baby left me
He’s gone
My baby left me
He’s gone
He took with him
My happy home
My baby left me
He’s gone
My baby left me
He’s gone
My baby left me
He’s gone
He took with him
My happy home
My baby‘s gone
My baby‘s gone

My baby left me
He’s gone
My baby left me
He’s gone
He took with him
My happy home
My baby‘s gone
My baby‘s gone

My baby‘s gone
My baby‘s gone
My baby‘s gone
My baby‘s gone

Let me

Let me show you what I know
Let me take you where I’ll go
I want to, yeah, share with you
Why won’t you let me show you

Let me take you where I’ve been
Let me show you what I’ve seen
How I want to share with you
Why won’t you let me show you
Why, why

Let me find out what you hide
Way down there deep inside
Won’t you take me for a while
Why won’t you let me know you

Let’s go know far from here
Where the air is so fresh and clear
I want to go away with you
Why won’t you let me take you
Why won’t you let me take you

Why won’t you take my hand
Why won’t you just understand
There is something that I know
That I want to share with y’all

Why don’t you tell me what’s on your mind
I feel there’s something’s been left behind
Don’t be scared now and don’t delay
I assure you’ll be ok
I assure you’ll be ok

Big fight

Sweet tooth and lady
And bones and me
Sitting by the old cemetery

Smoky came, came join us
And told us how
The square was quiet
And no one would
Witness a big fight

Cool cat, cool
Small time rat
Killed the pack
And we’re off rat-tat-tat

Down the alley way
Passed Freddy’s roulette
Such a dangerous game
To place a bet

Well, swing a left now
Through this shady street
The square’s dark and dull
It’s time to shuffle your feet

Well, come flirt with death
I’ll give you a tease
Come and see how sharp
Each one of my blades is

A flicker of dim light
Shows smooth silk shadows
Quick Jones and loose Jim’s are waiting

Eyes sparkling and fiercely smiling
They’re ready to shoe shine this city, yeah
They’re ready to shoe shine this city down

Place your bets
I said place your bets

See, I got sweet wine and small pets
I got ice cream and cigarettes
Place your bets

There’s gonna be a big fight
There’s gonna be a big fight
There’s gonna be a big fight tonight
There’s gonna be a big fight tonight

How far

Sit down
Show me how
Show me what you’ve got, go ahead
Show me what you’ve got, go ahead

I know, baby, that you love me so
But how far are you willing to go
I know it has only been a while
But surely you could prove yourself to me now

....
Make me

I know, baby, that you love me so
But how far are you willing to go
I know it has only been a while
But surely you could prove yourself to me now

Will you raise above the waters
Of the ever loosing fight
Will you wish that I forever
Had never brought out the light
Will you brake the quiet desire
Will you wake and light the fire
Will you burn and blow to ashes
Will you really get me wild

How far will you go
How far will you go
How far will you go
How far will you go
How far will you go
How far will you go
How far will you go
How far will you go
How far will you go

How far will you go
How far will you go


Jack

It’s nice the way you talk
It’s nice the way you walk
I like your sudden move
We met that night in June

Well, I like you very much
I like you very much
I like you very much
I like you very much

You know we’re all alone
Why don’t we go out of town
You know we’re all alone
Why don’t we get out of town

It’s really quite sublime
The way you move your hips
It’s really quite divine
See dance your fingertips

I like you very much
I like you very much
I like you very much
I like you very much

You know you make me melt
You are just like dynamite
You know you make me melt
You are just like dynamite

Well, I really must admit
I love the way you kiss
The way you roll your eyes
It’s kind of cute and nice
Come on, don’t hesitate
Let us go out on a date
Come on, don’t hesitate
You know it’s getting really late

When you’re dancing on the floor
You make me yell
You make me yell for more
A chill runs through my spine
Just to think that you are mine

I like you very much
I like you very much
I like you very much
I like you very much
I like you very much
I like you very much
I like you very much
I like you, I like you very much

Nervous

I get nervous around you
My dear, my love
Tare the shyness out of me
My dear darling

My voice changes pitch
And I get a twitch, yeah
Occasional itch
When I’m near you
Scratch me
Pinch me

I get nervous around you
My dear, my love
I get tangled up inside
When I’m near you

My knees start to shudder
And I grow stutter
Why can’t love be
A little easier on me
Scratch me
Pinch me

I'm stuck inside, I'm stuck inside...

I get nervous around you
My dear, my love
Tare the shyness out of me
My dear darling

My knees start to shudder
And I grow stutter
Why can’t love be
A little easier on me

I get nervous around you
My dear, my love
I can’t bare it anymore
My dear darling

My heart beats a thunder
I got to surrender
Every time I blush
I think I’m going to blow
 

He’s late

He’s late
I’m sitting in this bar
It’s eight p.m.
And I am drinking a cool rhum

I gaze across the room
A lot of crystal, a lot of wine
A lot of eyes running from a situation
While I wait on mine
While I wait on mine

He’s waiting by the station
The train’s late too
Well, I hope to catch you still
He’s so proud of you

He’s my brother Harry
He’s coming to see me
He’s got some bad news
He says from home

I said “tell me more
I want to hear it all”
He says “no, I got to see you
Can’t over the phone”

Too far to go
Time’s too short
Too far to go
Now that time’s too short

Who’s the pilot of this plane
Why does he have to dip now
When all is going so well

Sleep little child
While I ride the ocean
It won’t be long now
It won’t be long now

Never tell a lie

Don’t tell that lie

Never tell a lie

And you won’t even know why

Why did you lie to her
Why don’t you take back what you said

Why did you lie to her
Why don’t you take back what you said

You told the pancake girl
You really liked her curls
Now she’s forcing and entering
You don’t know what to remember
You’re digging deeper, boy
You won’t recover

Better forget
In my experience
Don’t thank me

Never tell a lie
Baby, never tell a lie
It’ll get you all tangled
And you won’t even know why

Said, never tell a lie

Liquorice skies

Lick your eyes
And ply goodbyes
Flick a time
It’s liquorice fine
Whisper her
Crisper her

Petal quiet
Waiting riot
It’s a dark night
To pick a fight
Wish her
Miss her

Pulls and pushes
Years of misses
With a time
To snatch divine
Yeah

Simple crime
Wings retire
What you remember
Precious fire
Soft pain
Cool flame
Read your name
It’s not the same
What a silly game

Crush the brital
Cripple the sharp
Blush a little
And poke a dart

Simple crime
Of desire
She was pretty
And he was wild
He won’t let go

Miles and miles of liquorice skies
Miles and miles
There’s miles and miles and miles and miles
Of liquorice skies
Of liquorice skies
Of liquorice skies
Of liquorice skies

Somebody

There’s that somebody I know
Who’s waiting for me
And he wants to know it all
The deep and the weary
And he won’t, no, let it go
Until he’s merry
Of all that I’ve said to him

There’s that somebody I know
Who’s waiting there somewhere
Waiting for me to be good
And ready for it all
And he’s wanting to confirm
That I will be the one
But I assure him that he is one too

There’s that somebody I know
Who’s waiting for something
Something he’s been looking for
All the time
He is spying for it in me
And I wish to please him
And I hope that I can
And I hope that I can

Innerquake

Pedigree

Feel an urge
To explode
Read you honey
Want to let go

Show us true
Colors baby
Burn a hole
In your pocket

Down your collar
Tell me now
Will you be there

Sit by and wait for me

The Fade Out Line

It’s everywhere I look
From Las Vegas to right here
Under your dresser
Right by your ear
It's creeping in sweetly
It's definitely here
There's nothing more deadly
Than slow growing fear

Life was full and fruitful
And you could take a real bite
The juice poring well over
Your skins delight
But the shadow it grows
And takes the depth away
Leaving broken down pieces
To this priceless ballet

The shallower it grows
The shallower it grows
The fainter we go
Into the fade out line
The shallower it grows
The shallower it grows
The fainter we go
Into the fade out line

Did we build all those bridges
To watch them thin down to dust
Or blow them voluntarily
Out of constant trust
The clock is ticking its last couple of tocks
And there won’t be a party with weathering frocks

The shallower it grows
The shallower it grows
The fainter we go
Into the fade out line
The shallower it grows
The shallower it grows
The fainter we go
Into the fade out line

Heading deeper down
We're sliding without noticing
Our own decline
Heading deeper down
We're hanging onto
Sweet nothings left behind

Deeper down
We're all going down
Down deeper down, yeah

We are all plunging straight towards our own decline
Without noticing
We slide
Down
Deeper down
The shadow grows without ever slowing down
We are heading straight
Into the fade out line

The shallower it grows
The shallower it grows
The fainter we go
Into the fade out line
The shallower it grows
The shallower it grows
The fainter we go
Into the fade out line

The shallower it grows
The shallower it grows
The fainter we go
Into the fade out line
The shallower it grows
The shallower it grows
The fainter we go
Into the fade out line

The shallower it grows
The shallower it grows
The fainter we go
Into the fade out line
The shallower it grows
The shallower it grows

Treadmill

Build build
Bury bury
See what it does to me
Blurry blurry
I see too well

Catch me catch me
While I fall
Over and over
Try try
You try so well

Lie lie lie
About what goes on
Tell me tell me I
Really want to know

Trickle trickle
Down your face
Over and over
You’re chocking on yourself
Don’t try to lie

Hey Ho, where did you go
You're running around in a treadmill zone
Hey Ho, where are you now
You’re caught inside of a merry-go round
You’re running around in a treadmill zone
Where are you now

Burn burn
Tick tock you’re time is up
Blank blank honey
I think you’re blind

Tumble tumble into lies
Over over
You’re chocking on yourself
Don’t try to lie

Hey Ho, where did you go
You're running around in a treadmill zone
Hey Ho, where are you now
You’re caught inside of a merry-go round
You’re running around in a treadmill zone
Where are you now

Hey Ho, where did you go
You're running around in a treadmill zone
Hey Ho, where are you now
You’re caught inside of a merry-go round

Hey Ho, where did you go
You're running around in a treadmill zone
Hey Ho, where are you now
You’re caught inside of a merry-go round

Hey Ho, where did you go
Treadmill zone
Hey Ho, where are you now
Merry-go round

You’re running around in a treadmill zone
Where are you now

Spinning

I think I might be going insane
With all those things you said
I think I may be loosing my head
Your words are spinning round

What about all those kisses you dealt
Were they all tainted with red
I swear I’m sure I could feel you felt
Something more, something more

Oh baby tell me am I going insane
I heard you mention you were leaving me dead
Did you hear what the doctor said
I’m holding on by a piece of thread

Well spinning
Spinning like tumbleweed in the wind
Yeah spinning
Spinning like tumbleweed yeah

Well you burnt me baby with the deafening sound
Of my big old heart hitting the ground
Well I’m spinning, spinning like tumbleweed, yeah

Come to your senses, let’s finish the wave
Scraping all night to dig us out of our grave
I’ll hold you tight, dirt under my nails
And wish the world, nothing else fails

The pleasure lay in the words that we spoke
Down to despair you broke me, you broke me
I thought we shared some kind of private joke
Now I know, now I know

I want to split the world in two
Sacrificing myself to savor my doom
The moon would block the sun in your name
I want you till the bitter end

Well spinning
Spinning like tumbleweed in the wind
Yeah spinning
Spinning like tumbleweed yeah

Well you burnt me baby with the deafening sound
Of my big old heart hitting the ground
Well I’m spinning, spinning like tumbleweed, yeah

I need some drastic action I want you to care
You left me baby hovering in the air
A proposition for this terrible thing
Of leaving me lone in the state that I’m in

Oh baby yeah you gave me a fright
When I saw you turn out the light
Please tell me it’s the fuse that’s gone bust
And not you that I’ve finally lost

Oh spinning
Spinning like tumbleweed in the wind
Yeah spinning
Spinning like tumbleweed

Well, you burnt me baby with the deafening sound
Of my big old heart hitting the ground
Well I’m spinning, spinning like tumbleweed, yeah
I’m spinning, spinning like tumbleweed

Highway Bird

Two birds on a highway
Driving too fast
Heading out of town
To make it last

Sweet words in the fire
Burning too slow
Wishing I was home somewhere
With nowhere to go

Why don’t you just
Let it go
Ain’t no one around
To make it slow

Talk of a mountain
She’s on your side
Gotta talk down to you
Gonna take the ride

Two birds on a highway
Driving too fast
Heading out of town
To make it last

Sweet words in the fire
Burning too slow
Wishing I was home somewhere
With nowhere to go

Sweet little child
You know I’m afraid
Gotta talk down to you
Gotta make you sane

Sweet gang and the pack
Got hit down again
You know it’s about the time
We’re going to make it rain

Blue bird is heading out tonight
Blue bird is heading out tonight
Blue bird is heading
Out tonight
Yeah

Twisted

The rolling hills
Have got hold of you
You wished her
A pleasant fall
She took off
Into the night
In her broken down car
With her thoughts on fire
She’s reeling in and out of light
She’s begging for a fruit to bite
Like a wild cat wanting to go home
Let her land light tonight

She’s twisted down to the core
She reminds you of a lost sailor
It’s got you
And it won’t let go
If you run into her
Don’t let her go

The morning mist
Smoke her eyes
From the white lines
That flicker past
She sympathises with the wind
In her beat down shades
And fragile wings
She’s fading in and out of light
She’s yearning for a little quiet
Like a wild cat wanting to go home
Let her land light tonight

She races to her rainbow’s end
A drifter with a heart to mend
It’s got you
And it holds you so
If you run into her
Don’t let her go

Please be good to her
Won’t you, please be good to her
Won’t you, please be good to her
Be good to her

She races to her rainbow’s end
A drifter with a heart to mend
It’s got you
And it holds you so
If you run into her
Don’t let her go

She’s twisted down to the core
She reminds you of a lost sailor
It’s got you
And it won’t let go
If you run into her
Don’t let her go

Please be good to her
Won’t you, please be good to her
Won’t you, please be good to her
Be good to her

Believer

Come on up to my room
I’ve been waiting for you
Sipping daytime till night
I’ve got something for you

And don’t think that it’s fun
And don’t think that you’ve won
Gotta clear a few things up baby
Before I let you in

I’m a believer
That’s what I know
I’m not a healer
No no no
Think you’re killer baby
With your big gun
Well be a revealer
And teach us some

Can you dim a volcano
With the blink of an eye
And glide like silver
Across the Norwegian sky

Well I watch as you simmer
Under sought after dreams
One good looking sinner
Is coming for me

I’m a believer
That’s what I know
I’m not a healer
No no no
Think you’re killer baby
With your big gun
Well be a revealer
And teach us some

I’m a believer
That’s what I know
I’m not a healer
No no no
Think you’re killer baby
With your big gun
Well be a revealer
And teach us some...

Angel's breath

The cup is shaking in your hand
You sit trying to understand
The road seems so much longer now
You push the paint against your lips

You hold it there while you still can
You don’t remember anymore
All your friends have left the party
You want to dance a little more

I know you’re coming
Coming for me
You’ve got me heading
Down to the sea
I know you’ve got me
You’ve got me

It keeps on knocking at your door
You’re just not ready to let go
You feel deceit like raging fire
Your body twists a ripe desire

A shiver rises like a sin
Your soul begins to rush back in
An angel whispers at your ear
A last word to release you dear

I know you’re coming
Coming for me
You’ve got me heading
Down to the sea
I know you’ve got me
You’ve got me
Come on now

Oh tell me something
Something real
I know you’re heading
You coming for me
I know you’ve got me
You’ve got me

Up & Down

You bring me up
You drag me down
You let me loose
And then you come around
You try to hide
You scream it loud
In happy misery
You hold me down

Oh passion is strong
But something’s wrong
See I can’t dwell forever
In eternal hell and joy
I like you baby
I really do
But this can’t go on
This can’t go on

Where is the reason
Which is the law
That permits such a pain
Through so much joy

You call me crazy
You call me sane
I ain’t riding
You again

You bring me up
You drag me down
You let me loose
And then you come around
You try to hide
You scream it loud
In happy misery
You hold me down

You bring me up
You drag me down
You let me loose
And then you come around
You try to hide
You scream it loud
In happy misery
You hold me down

Addiction is the word
For how I feel for you
It’s getting too dangerous
For me to see you babe

I take you baby
And I get high
And down you bring me
And down I cry

You bring me up
You drag me down
You let me loose
And then you come around
You try to hide
You scream it loud
In happy misery
You hold me down
