Marry Me

Now, Now

(I’m not) your mother’s favorite dog
(I’m not) the carpet you walk on
(I’m not) one small atomic bomb
(I’m not) any, any, any, any, any, any, anything at all

(I’m not) the feather at your feet

(I’m not) your yellow brick street

(I’m not) anyone you'll see

(I’m not) any, any, any, any, any, any, anything

Now, now
Now, now
Now, now

You don’t mean that, say you’re sorry
You don’t mean that, say you’re sorry
You don’t mean that, say you’re sorry
You don’t mean that, I’ll make you sorry

(I’m not) the pawn to your king
(I’m not) your world on a string
(I’m not) anyone you’ll beat
(I’m not) any, any, any, any, any, any, any, anything
Any, any, any, any, any, any, any, anything

Now, now
Now, now
Now, now

You don’t mean that, say you’re sorry
You don’t mean that, say you’re sorry
You don’t mean that, say you’re sorry
You don’t mean that, I’ll make you sorry

You don’t mean that, say you’re sorry
You don’t mean that, say you’re sorry
You don’t mean that, say you’re sorry
You don’t mean that, say you’re sorry
You don’t mean that, say you’re sorry

Jesus Saves, I Spend

While Jesus is saving
I'm spending all my days
In backgrounds and landscapes
With the languages of saints

While people are spinning
Like toys on Christmas day
I'm inside a still life
With the other absentee

While Jesus is saving
I'm spending all my days
In the garden-grey pallor
Of lines across your face

While people will cheer on
The spectacle we've made
I'm sitting and sculpting
Menageries of saints

Oh, my man my absentee
I'd do anything to please you
Come my love the stage is waiting
Be the one to save my saving grace

While Jesus is saving
I'm spending all my grace
on rosy-red pallor
Of lights on center stage

While people have cheered on
The awful mess we've made
Through storms of red roses
We've exited the stage

Your Lips Are Red

Your lips are red
My face is red from reading your red lips
My hands are black
My hands are black inside this downtown taxi cab

This city's red
This city's red from riding us into the ground
This city's black
This city's black from all the ashes in downtown
Ashes in downtown, ashes in downtown

My face is drawn
My face is drawn on with this number two pencil
Your face is drawn
Your face is drawn from drawing words right from my lips
Words right from my lips, words right from my lips

Your lips are red
My face is red from reading your red lips
My hands are red
My hands are red from sealing your red lips
Sealing your red lips, sealing your red lips

Your skin's so fair
Your skin's so fair it's not fair
Your skin's so fair
Your skin's so fair it's not fair
Your skin's so fair
You remind me
Your skin's so fair it's not fair
Your skin's so fair
You remind me
Your skin's so fair it's not fair
You remind me...

Marry Me

Marry me, John
Marry me, John I'll be so good to you
You won't realize I'm gone

Marry me, John
Marry me, John I'll be so sweet to you
You won't realize I'm gone
You won't realize I'm gone

Many people wanna make money make love
Make friends make peace with death
But most mainly want to win the game they came to win
They want to come out ahead
But you, you're a rock
With a heart like a socket
I can plug into at will
And will you guess when I come around next
I hope your open sign is blinking still

So marry me, John
Marry me, John I'll be so good to you
You won't realize I'm gone
You won't realize I'm gone

As for me I would have to agree
I'm as fickle as a paper doll
Been kicked by the wind
When I touch down again
I'll be in someone else's arms

Oh, John, come on
We'll do what married people do
Oh, John
I don't care
Come on
What you want
We'll do what Mary and Joseph did
I want to marry you
without the kid

I want to marry you
So Marry me, John
Marry me, John I'll be so good to you
You won't realize I'm gone
You won't realize I'm gone...

Many people wanna make money make love
Make friends make peace with death
Many people wanna make money make love
Make friends make peace with death
Many people wanna make money make love
Make friends make peace with death...

Paris Is Burning

I write to give word the war is over
Send my cinders home to mother
They gave me a medal for my valor
Leaden trumpets spit the soot of power they say

"I'm on your side when nobody is
'Cause nobody is
Come sit right here and sleep while I slip
Poison in your ear"

We are waiting on a telegram to give us news of the fall
I am sorry to report dear Paris is burning after all
We have taken to the streets in open rejoice revolting
We are dancing a black waltz fair Paris is burning after all
Oh no

Enclosed in this letter there's a picture
Black and white for your refrigerator
Sticks and stones have made me smarter
It's words that cut me under my armor they say

"I'm on your side when nobody is
'Cause nobody is
Come sit right here and sleep while I slip
Poison in your ear"

We are waiting on a telegram to give us news of the fall
I am sorry to report dear Paris is burning after all
We have taken to the streets in open rejoice revolting
We are dancing a black waltz fair Paris is burning after all
Oh no

Dance poor people dance and drown
Dance fair Paris to the ground
Dance poor people dance and drown
Dance fair Paris ashes now

Dance poor people dance and drown
Dance fair Paris to the ground
Dance poor people dance and drown
Dance fair Paris ashes now...

All My Stars Aligned

I read the signs
I got all my stars aligned
My amulets, my charms
I set all my false alarms
So I'll be someone
Who won't be forgotten
I've got a question
And you've got the answer

I do a dance to make the rain come
Smile to keep the sky from falling down, down, down, down
Collect the love that I've been given
Build a nest for us to sleep in here
You know it's real

I check my palms
The cracks in teh sidewalk
My visions and my dreams
I cross all my fingers
That you'll be someone
Who won't be forgotten
What was your question
I've got the answer

I do a dance to make the rain come
Smile to keep the sky from falling down, down, down, down
Collect the love that I've been given
Build a nest for us to sleep in here
You know it's real

There are no signs
There are no stars aligned
No amulets no charms
To bring you back to my arms

There's just this human heart
That's built with this human flaw
What was your question
Love is the answer

I do a dance to make the rain come
Smile to keep the sky from falling down, down, down, down
Collect the love that I've been given
Build a nest for us to sleep in here
You know it's real

The Apocalypse Song

Wait
I'll be swifter
Than the speed of light
Carbon all my body
A billion years of time

You wake
With the stitches
Over both your eyes
And deny me, my body
And all earthly delights

It's time
You are light
I guess you are afraid of
What everyone is made of
Time and light
I guess you are afraid of
What everyone is made of

All of your praying
Amount to just one breath
Please keep your victory
But give me little death

It's time
You are light
I guess you are afraid of
What everyone is made of
Time and light
I guess you are afraid of
What everyone is made of

It's time
You are light
I guess you are afraid of
What everyone is made of
Time and light
I guess you are afraid of
What everyone is made of
What everyone is made of

So take to the streets
With apocalypse refrain
Your devotion has the look of
A lunatic's gaze

Landmines

I'm crawling through landmines
Just to know where you are
There's smoke in my eyes
'Cause you're burning the ground

I'm crawling through landmines
Just to feel where you are
Under cover of night
I put a pearl in the ground

Where'd you go
Not so far
Please don't go
Not too far
Where'd you go
Not so far
Please don't go
Not too far

I found your ring with the feather on
One arm in and one arm gone
Save this ring let's bring Paris right here

Oh, my dear
My love
Do you know, my love
Do you know

I'm crawling through landmines
Just to feel where you've been
There's gauze over my eyes
But you're leaving this trail

I'm crawling through landmines
I know cause I planted them
Under cover of night
I put my heart in the ground

Oh where'd you go
Not so far
Please don't go
Not too far
Where'd you go
Not so far
Please don't go
Not too far

I found your glove with the leather torn
Five fingers that I'm counting on
Smoke signals to call you right here

Oh, my love
My dear
My love
My dear...

Human Racing

Romeo
Where'd you go
It's been years and still no sign
But I'm keeping hope alive

Juliet
How you've been
You look like death
Like you sure could use some rest

From this place
Human racing
And the faces of people who pound at your door
They always want more, they want more

Hummingbird
What's the word
Are you still your mothers child
Or have you found yourself a flower

Flowerchild
You're still wild
Under a harvest moon
Can we eat of all the fruits of our youth

Tell the truth now
Your heart is a strange little orange to peel
What's the deal
What's the deal

Mary, dear
How you feel
Are you lost without your lamb
You know I think I understand

Little lamb
What's your plan
Greener pastures in the sky?
It's a shame you want to die know why

Just to find
You've been blinded
To the greenest of pastures they're right here on Earth
For what it's worth
You're not the first to break my heart
You're not the first to break my heart...

What Me Worry

What me worry
I never do
I'm always amused and amusing you
Sans le fear of impending doom
Life is like banquet food
Pleasure to peruse

Do I amuse you, dear
Would you think me queer
If while standing beside you
I opted instead to
Disappear, disappear

In no hurry I'll sing my tune
All my skies the hue of a ruddy bruise
In my finest threads couture
I'll call up my favorite muse
For a drink - half full - or two

Have I abused you, dear
You have had it to here
You say, "Love is just a bloodmatch
To see who endures lash after last with panache"

In the spring I'll dust off my lute
Stuff my suitcase full of blues
And I stir the dust underneath the thrust
Of my clicking heels
C'est la vie

What me worry
I never do
Life is one charming ruse
For us lucky few

Have I fooled you, dear
The time is coming near
When I'll give you my hand and I'll say
"It's been grand, but I'm out of here
I'm out of here"

Actor

The strangers

Lover, I don't play to win
But for the thrill until I’m spent
Paint the black hole blacker
Paint the black hole blacker

I threw flowers in your face
On my sister's wedding day
Paint the black hole blacker
Paint the black hole blacker

You show up with a black eye
Looking to go start a fight
Paint the black hole blacker
Paint the black hole blacker

Playboys under the mattress
Like I wouldn't notice
Paint the black hole blacker
Paint the black hole blacker

What do I share
What do I keep
From all the strangers who sleep where i sleep

Desperate don't look good on you
Neither does your virtue
Paint the black hole blacker
Paint the black hole blacker

Good souls have born better sons
Better souls born worse ones
Paint the black hole blacker
Paint the black hole blacker

What do I share
What do I keep
From all the strangers who sleep where I sleep

You show up with a black eye
Looking to finish a fight

But lover I don't play to win
But for the thrill until I’m spent
Paint the black hole blacker
Paint the black hole blacker

Save me from what I want

The keys are in my pocket
And they rattle you awake
Seventh floor apartment
And a fiery escape

But I’m a wife in watercolors
I can wash away
What seventeen cold showers
Couldn't wash away

Save me, save me
Save me from what I want
Save me, save me
Save me from what I want
Save me, save me
Save me from what I want

Honey, what reveals you
Is what you try and hide away
And you can tell the planets
Or your pillowcase

But I’m a wife in watercolors
I can wash away
What seventeen cold showers
Couldn’t wash away

Save me save me save me from what I want
Save me save me save me from what I want
Save me save me save me from what I want
Save me save me save me from what I want
Save me save me save me from what I want
Save me save me save me from what I want

The neighbors

Sister say a prayer for us
Ones we learned from nuns and such
I won't believe not a word you speak
Just make it sweet to hear

Let's pour wine in coffee cups
And drive around the neighborhood
And shine the headlights on houses
Until all the news is good

Oh no! What would your mother say
Oh no! What would your father do
Oh no! What would the neighbors think
Oh no!

How am I supposed to sleep
Roaming blackouts on the streets
Oh not a word not another speech
We'll run the headlights down

These kids are foaming at the mouth
Psychotropic capricorns
Tomorrow's some kind of strangerland
Where all the news is good

Oh no! What would your mother say
Oh no! What would your father do
Oh no! What would the neighbors think
Oh no! If they only knew

How can Monday be alright
Then on Tuesday lose my mind
Tomorrow's some kind of stranger
Who I’m not supposed to see

Oh no! What would your mother say
Oh no! What would your father do
Oh no! What would the neighbors think
Oh no! If they only knew, knew

Actor out of work

You're a supplement you're a salve
You're a bandage pull it off
I can quit you cut it out
You're a patient iron lung

You're a cast signed broken arm
You're an actor out of work
You're a liar and that's the truth
You're an extra lost in the scene

You're a boxer in the ring
With brass knuckles underneath
You're the curses through my teeth
You're the laughter you're the obscene

You're a supplement you're a salve
You're a bandage pull it off
I think I love you I think I’m mad

You're a cast signed broken arm
You're an actor out of work
I think I love you I think I’m mad

You're a boxer in the ring
With brass knuckles underneath
I think I love you I think I’m mad

Black rainbow

There's a black rainbow above my house
Match the curtains and the floor
I think I’m glass I think I’m breaking it
Wrecking ball outside the door

Let the children act like furniture
For the ladies of the lawn
But I can't see them I can't see at all
Here it's nighttime all the time

Bird outside the kitchen fighting his reflection
Tell him I got nothing for him
Bird outside the kitchen fighting his reflection
What's he gonna win when he wins

The unkissed boys and girls of paradise
Are lining up around the block
Back pockets full of dynamite
While the neighbors talk and talk and talk

Bird outside the kitchen fighting his reflection
Tell him I got nothing for him
Bird outside the kitchen fighting his reflection
What's he gonna win when he wins

Throw the phone out the window
If you want the neighbors woke
You'll have to shout out loud
And set the bed alight and slow

If you want the neighbors woke
You'll have to shout even louder

Laughing with a mouth of blood

Just like an amnesiac
Trying to get my senses back
Oh where did they go

Laughing with a mouth of blood
From a little spill I took
What are you laughing at

See I traded my plot of land
For a plane to anywhere
Oh where did you go

And I can't see the future
But I know it's got big plans for me
Oh what does it see

All my old friends aren't so friendly
And all my old haunts are now haunting me

Holed up at the motel Ritz
With a televangelist
Oh what did he say

At the bottom of a swimming pool
With all the water out of it
How'd you get in there

I'm sending consolation prizes to my next of kin, allies
Oh they'll be so thrilled

And I can't see the future
But I know it's watching me
Wonder what it sees

All my old friends aren't so friendly
And all my old haunts are now haunting me

Tell my sister that I miss her
Tell my brother that it gets much easier
Tell my sister that I miss her
Tell my brother that it gets much easier

All my old friends aren't so friendly
And all my old haunts are now haunting me
All my old friends aren't so friendly
And all my old haunts are now haunting me

Marrow

Muscle connects to the bone
And bone to the ire and the marrow
I wish I had a gentle mind and a spine made up of iron

Mouth connects to the teeth
And teeth to the loves and the curses
Honey can you reach the spots that need oiling and fixing

H e l p
Help me, help me
H e l p
Help me, help me

Muscle connects to the bone
And bone to the ire and the marrow
I wish I had a gentle mind and a spine made up of iron
So I pretend there aren't ten strings tied to all ten of my fingers

H e l p
Help me, help me
If you want we could go somewhere else

H e l p
Help me, help me…

The bed

We're sleeping underneath the bed
To scare the monsters out
With our dear daddy's Smith and Wesson
We've got to teach them all a lesson

Don't move
Don't scream
Or we will have to shoot

Stop right where you stand
We need a chalk outline if you can
Put your hands where we can see them please

We're holding up the lids of our eyes
And showing just the whites
Mary no one has such small hands
No not the wind not even that

Don't move
Don't scream
Or we will have to shoot

Stop right where you stand
We need a chalk outline if you can
Put your hands where we can see them please

Stop right where you stand
We need a chalk outline if you can
Put your hands where we can see them
Please

The party

Honey the party it went away quickly
But oh that's the trouble with ticking and talking
I lick the ice cubes from your empty glass
Oh we've stayed much too late till they're cleaning the ashtrays

Do you have change or a button or cash
Oh my pockets hang out like two surrender flags
Oh but I’d pay anything to keep my conscience clean
I’m keeping my eyes on the exit sign steady now

How did we get here with creaks in these chairs
Oh there aren't enough hands to point all the fingers
But I sit transfixed by a hole in your tee shirt
Oh I’ve said much too much and they're trying to sweep up

Just the same but brand new

The people in the street had overtaken you
By the time you rounded second avenue
So i walked away all perfumed
I'm just the same but brand new

And anything you wrote I checked for codes and clues
The letters stopped unceremoniously in June
So I changed my I's and A's to yours
I'm just the same but brand new

And I do my best impression of weightlessness now too
And I might be wrong, I might be wrong, I might be wrong
But honey I believed I could
Float away dangling
I'm just the same but brand new to you

The sequel

Oh honey, I was there in the dark where you lay
And I saw you with a scent on your hands
Going out to get you something

Oh honey, I was there in the dark where you lay
And I saw you with a scent on your hands
Going out to get you something

One, two, three flight apartment street-side
Bodies like wrecking balls fuck, fuck with dynamite

Strange Mercy

Chloe in the Afternoon

You're all legs
I'm all nerves
Black like her
Horse and whip

My own heels
Heal my hurt
Grease the wheel
Feel your floor

Chloe in the afternoon
Chloe in the afternoon
Chloe in the afternoon
Chloe in the afternoon
Chloe in the afternoon

No kisses
No real need
No kisses
No real needs

Who here
Hear your word
Ring ring phone
Send you home

Find my heels
Heal my hurt
White white shirt
Back to work

Chloe in the afternoon
Chloe in the afternoon
Chloe in the afternoon
Chloe in the afternoon
Chloe in the afternoon

Cruel

Bodies
Can't you see what everybody wants from me

Forgive the kids
For they don't know how to live
Run the alleys
Casually
Cruel, cruel

Bodies
Can't you see what everybody wants from me
If you could want that too

They could take or leave you
So they took you
Then they left you
How could they be
Casually
Cruel, cruel
Cruel, cruel

Bodies
Can't you see what everybody wants from me
If you could want that too
Then you'd be happy

You were the one
Waving flares in the air
So they could see you
And they were a zephyr
Blowing past you
Blowing fastly
So they can't see you

Cruel, cruel, cruel, cruel
Cruel, cruel, cruel, cruel

Cheerleader

I've had good times
With some bad guys
I've told whole lies
With a half smile

Held your bare bones
With my clothes on
I've thrown rocks
Then hid both my arms

I don't know what good it serves
Pouring my purse in the dirt

But I-I-I-I
I don't wanna be your cheerleader no more
I-I-I-I
I don't wanna be your cheerleader no more

I've played dumb
When I knew better
Tried so hard
Just to be clever
I know honest thieves
I call family
I've seen America
With no clothes on

But I-I-I-I
I don't wanna be a cheerleader no more
I-I-I-I
I don't wanna be a cheerleader no more

I don't know what I deserve
But for you I could work

'Cause I don't wanna be a cheerleader no more
I don't wanna be a cheerleader no more
I don't wanna be a cheerleader no more
I don't wanna be a dirt eater no more
I don't wanna be a dirt eater no more
I don't wanna be a cheerleader no more

Surgeon

I spent the summer on my back
Another attack
Staying just to get along
Get along, get along

Turn off the TV
Wait in bed
Of blue and red
A little something to get along
Get along, get along
Get along, get along, get along

Best finest surgeon
Come cut me open
Best finest surgeon
Come cut me open

Dress the undressing for the wall
If mother calls
She knows well we don't get along
Get along, get along

I tell the mailman "never you mind
I'll sift through the piles"
And for him to just get along, get along, get along,
Get along, get along, get along

Best finest surgeon
Come cut me open
Best finest surgeon
Come cut me open...

Northern Lights

If you say it is, then I guess it is
What you say it is, but I don't feel anything
'Cause your pendulum isn't swing again
Yeah, your pendulum hasn't swung back in

It's a champagne year full of sober months
Through my mulling days, through my dry moments
I saw the morning Northern Lights
Convinced it was the end of times
I saw the morning Northern Lights

Gotta get young fast
Gotta get young quick
Gotta make this last
If it makes me sick

I saw the morning Northern Lights
Convinced it was the end of times
I saw the morning Northern Lights
Convinces it was the end of times

I saw the morning Northern Lights
I saw the morning Northern Lights
I saw the morning Northern Lights
I saw the morning Northern Lights

Strange Mercy

Oh little one
I know you've been tired
Fr a long, long time
And oh little one
I ain't been around for a little while
But when you see me, wait

Oh little one
Your Hemingway jawline looks just like his
Our father in exile
For God only knows how many years

But when you see him, wait
Through double pain
I'll be with you lost boys
Sneaking out where the shivers won't find you

Oh little one
I'd tell you good news
That I don't believe
If it would help you sleep
Strange mercy

If I ever meet the dirty policeman who roughed you up
No I don't know what
If I ever meet the dirty policeman who roughed you up

I'll be with you lost boys
Sneaking out where the shivers won't find you

Neutered Fruit

Did you ever really stare at me
Did you ever really stare at me
Like I stared at you

I ate flowers in the backyard
Bought finely neutered fruit
Shot a hundred arrows at a knoll
A hundred sparrows blue

Did you ever really stare at me
Did you ever really stare
Did you ever really stare at me
Like I stared at you

Don't run
Don't run little rabbit run
Don't run
Don't run little bunny run

Did you ever really stare at me
Did you ever really stare
Like I stared at you

Did you ever write a prayer for me
Did you ever really care
DId you ever really care for me
Like I cared for you

Don't run
Don't run
Don't run
Don't run

Champagne Year

So I thought I'd learned my lesson
But I secretly expected
A choir at the shore
And confetti through the falling air

I make a living telling people what they want to hear
It's not a killing, but it's enough to keep the cobwebs clear

'Cause it's not a perfect plan
It's not a perfect plan
But it's the one we got

It's not a perfect plan
But it's the one we got

'Cause I make a living telling people what they want to hear
But I tell you, it's gonna be a champagne year

Dilettante

Oh Elijah, don't make me wait
Nobody's winning
The sharks are swimming in the red

Oh Elijah, don't make me wait
While you are sleeping
My mind goes creaking down the wall

Slow down, dilettante
So I can limp beside you
And follow in your rush too

Hang on, street savant
My bank in my pocket
How far you think you'll take us

You're like a party I heard through a wall
I'm always watching you through a keyhole
Let's not forget, let's not forget
Let's not forget, why we crawled here

Oh Elijah, don't make me wait
I got no patience for an estrangement, anyway

Wake up, avenue C
Your hometown is still sleeping

You're like a party I heard through the wall
Invite me
But I'm always watching you through a keyhole
Let's not forget, let's not forget
Let's not forget, where we crawled from

Oh Elijah, don't make me wait
What is so pressing
You can undress me, anyway

Hysterical Strength

Hey it's your blood
That makes my veins run
It's true
So I tried to give it back to you

Young one, look at me
It's not your beast to leash
Oh don't hold more than you can stand to carry

Must of been the case
Hysterical strength
To stand up while the room moved off its axis

Old man look at me
Through the teeth of your grief
Oh don't grab more than you can stand to carry

'Cause you went off to seize
What no one else could see
Oh and left more than we could stand to bury

Year of the Tiger

When I was young
Coach called me the tiger
(Oh America, can I owe you one)

I always had
A knack with the danger
(Oh America, can I owe you one)

Living in fear in the year of the tiger
Living in fear in the year of the tiger

Italian shoes
Like these rubes know the difference
Suitcase of cash
In the back of my stick shift
I had to be the best of the bourgeoisie
Now my kingdom for a cup of coffee

Living in fear in the year of the tiger
Living in fear in the year of the tiger
Living in fear in the year of the tiger
Living in fear in the year of the tiger

Oh America
Can I owe you one
Oh America
Can I owe you one
Oh America
Can I owe you one
Oh America
Can I owe you one

Living in fear in the year of the tiger
Living in fear in the year of the tiger
Living in fear in the year of the tiger
Living in fear in the year of the tiger

Bicycle

You stole my bicycle so i had to walk 20 city blocks in the rain
You took my tennis shoes so i took the train to avoid the rain
You saw me on the street you offered me a seat then when i blinked you were

Every Drop Of Rain

(David Byrne & Fatboy Slim feat. Candie Payne and St. Vincent / Here Lies Love LP)

Candie Payne:
I was just a young girl
A girl with curly hair
Your mother called me family
I became quite close to her

I handled all the money
Washed the clothes and made the meals
In the night she'd wake up screaming
So you children slept with me

Candie Payne & St. Vincent:
They called us garage people
Where we lived there, you and me
When you're poor - it's like you're naked
And every drop of rain you feel

Candie Payne:
When it rained we slept on boxes
There was water all around

St. Vincent:
But the people in the big house
Never bothered to find out
No clothes, no bed, no jewelry
Sometimes I had no shoes

Candie Payne:
A typhoon came - the house collapsed
And the neighbors passed us food

Candie Payne & St. Vincent:
They called us garage people
Where we lived there, you and me
When you're poor - it's like you're naked
And every drop of rain you feel

St. Vincent:
Every little tiny drop of rain you feel - every drop of rain
Every little tiny drop of rain you feel - every drop of rain

Candie Payne:
I handled our finances
I myself was never paid

St. Vincent:
My teachers paid a visit
I felt, felt so ashamed

But I had kept my dignity
Some things cannot be killed

I smiled and kept my head up
A Romualdez I was still

Candie Payne:
They called us garage people
Where we lived there, you and me

St. Vincent:
When you're poor - it's like you're naked
And every drop of rain you feel

Candie Payne:
Every little tiny drop of rain you feel - every drop of rain

St. Vincent:
Every little tiny drop of rain you feel - every drop of rain

Candie Payne:
Every little tiny drop

St. Vincent:
Every little tiny drop - every drop of rain

Grot

( Krokodil EP )

Power doesn't care what you want
Power just wants to watch
And power doesn't care what you need
As long as you're on your knees
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
Power pigs
Power pigs
Power kills
Power pigs

Power pigs
Power pigs
Power kills
Power pigs

Power doesn't care what you think
Power just wants the real peace
And power doesn't care how you feel
As long as you learn how to kneel

*** Thanx a lot to Jose for this one ***

Krokodil

( Krokodil EP )

I need to bite
Sweet krokodil, dil, dil, dil

Never had gums for much
Never had fun
Never was much for lives
But you're mine, by the sharp
Of my fucking teeth

I need to bite
Sweet krokodil, dil, dil, dil
I need to bite
Sweet krokodil, dil, dil, dil
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
Shut up so I can think
Of damn nerves, damn everything
Never was much for love
But you're mine, by the shine
Of my bloody teeth

I need to bite
Sweet krokodil, dil, dil, dil
I need to bite
Sweet krokodil, dil, dil, dil

And when it starts to sting
Don't worry, got to be clean
Never was much for sing
But you're mine, by the sharp
Of my fucking teeth

I need to bite
Sweet krokodil, dil, dil, dil
I need to bite
Sweet krokodil, dil, dil, dil

*** Thanx a lot to Jose for this one ***

Oh my god

The dishes in the sink don't care if i wake late
Or soak till the bath runs cold, leave the bed unmade

But when the drink goes in the devil comes out
Days go by still the past don't seem so far
But when the drink goes in the devil comes out
Days go by still the past don't seem so far

Oh my god
Oh my god

The plants in both the windows aren't listening for the door
Or counting all the footsteps, keeping the bath warm

But when the drink goes in the devil comes out
Days go by still the past don't seem so far
But when the drink goes in the devil comes out
Days go by still the past don't seem so far

Oh my god
Oh my god

Oh my god
Oh my god
Oh my god
Oh my god

Rosyln

( With Bon Iver )

Up with your turret
Aren't we just terrified
Shale, screen your worry from what you won't ever find

Don't let it fool you
Don't let it fool you...down
Down's sitting round, folds in the gown

Sea and the rock below
Cocked to the undertow
Bones blood and teeth erode, with every crashing node

Wings wouldn't help you
Wings wouldn't help you down
Down fills the ground, gravity's proud

You barely are blinking
Wagging your face around
When'd this just become a mortal home

Won't, won't, won't, won't

Won't let you talk me
Won't let you talk me down
Will pull it taut, nothing let out

She Is Beyond Good And Evil

( The Pop Group cover / Live on Jimmy Fallon )

My love was born on a ray of sound

Sleeps on water, walks on ice, ice
Sleeps on water, walks on ice
Got no father, immortal wife
I would give my life for her
There's no antidote for her
My love was born on a ray of sound
Oh my love was born on a ray of sound

Like a dancing flame on a bed of nails
She is one thing that you cannot buy
With zero reasons for living
With zero reasons for living
My love was born on a ray of sound
Oh my love was born on a ray of sound
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
Our only defense is together as an army
Our only defense is together as an army
I'll hold you like a gun
Our only defense is together as an army
I'll hold you like a gun

My love was born on a ray of sound
Oh my love was born on a ray of sound

Western values mean nothing to her, nothing to her
Western values mean nothing to her, nothing to her
Western values mean nothing to her, nothing to her
She is beyond good and evil
She is beyond good and evil

These Days

( Jackson Browne Cover )

I've been out walking
I don't do too much talking these days
These days...

These days I simply think a lot
About the things that I forgot to do
And all the times I had the chance to

I've stopped my rambling
I won't do too much gambling these days
These days...

These days I simply think about
How all the changes came about my way
And I wonder if I'll see another highway

I had a lover
I don't think I'll risk another these days
These days...

These days I seem to be afraid
To live the life that I have made in song
It's just that I've been losing so long

I've stopped my dreaming
I won't do too much scheming these days
These days...

These days I sit on cornerstones
And count the time in quartertones to ten
Please don't confront me with my failures
I have not forgotten them
