This house
This house a Volcano
But I’m sentimental still
There’s no place like home you know
You know I thought
That you brought me down
That life was a fight
To prove who I really am
But it
It took too long for me to see
My self-saboteur was stealing the show
But I can’t be anyone but me
I can’t write any songs but these
I cannot move about this earth
Always trying to prove my worth
My minds a Volcano full of thoughts
But I can choose the words
I can’t be anyone but me and that’s all I need
Those words
Those words about me
They caught me right in the throat
I just couldn’t sing a note
And I
I fell I fell on the words
I thought I was only just
Beginning to really know my worth
But it
It took too long for me to see
My self-saboteur was stealing the show
But I can’t be anyone but me
I can’t write any songs but these
I cannot move about this earth
Always trying to prove my worth
My minds a Volcano full of thoughts
But I can choose the words
I can’t be anyone but me and that’s all I need
So darkened voice let it go
Because I’m done letting you be the one
To bring me down
So darkened voice see it through
Because I’m done letting you be the one
To bring me down
Now time
Its running away
And every moment here
Is just like a brand new day
And you’ll
You’ll waste every last ounce
Trying to please the crowd
When really there’s no second chance
But it
It took too long for me to see
My self-saboteur was stealing the show
I can’t be anyone but me
I can’t write any songs but these
I cannot move about this earth
Always trying to prove my worth
My minds a Volcano full of thoughts
But I can choose the words
I can’t be anyone but me and that’s all I need

Morphine
03:12
|
|||
There’s a boat
And it floats
On the city of love
And the people all go there
With smiles that go no where
And a head full of love
And it sits on the tip
Of a giant meringue
And it makes them all giddy
How happy and dreamy
The world has become
But it’s just a little shot
A little crushed up heart of
Morphine
Morphine
Morphine in a jar
Morphine
Morphine (in a jar)
Morphine in a jar
A little morphine in my mind
There’s a boat
And it floats
On the city of love
And the people all crow there
Demented and cold there
But they don’t feel a thing
And it’s stocked
In a box
Filled with every desire
And it tastes like dandelion
The rowdy band align
To play a quirky little song
But it’s just a little shot
A little crushed up heart of
Morphine
Morphine (In a jar)
Morphine in a jar
A little morphine in my mind
Come with me break away the veneer
Oh the pain’s in your body but your mind is clear
It’s a cult it’s a dream it’s a miraculous thing
It’s right down to the bone
It’s everywhere you go you know it’s
Just a little shot
A little crushed up heart of
Just a little shot
A little pill
A little crushed up heart of
Morphine
Morphine (In a jar)
Morphine in a jar
A little
Morphine
Morphine (In a jar)
Morphine in a jar
A little morphine in my mind

Paris Is Burning
02:52
|

Obscured feathered world
Nobody knows
You had a dead man in your closet for a decade or more
A little crazed
But hard to ignore
Up on the stage you’re a monster you’re a ball
Not for the weak
Not for the narrow mind
You’re the revolution of our time
And it’s
Burning
Burning
Down and out in Paris Tonight
Oh it’s
Burning
Burning
Down and out in Paris tonight
Oh it’s burning tonight
You shot an arrow
Made your mark
Left the world gagging snake dancing monarch
In your house
Top of the vogue
You had a dead man in your closet for a decade or more
Not for the weak
Not for the narrow mind
You’re the revolution of our time
And its
Burning
Burning
Down and out in Paris tonight
Oh it’s
Burning
Burning
Down and out in Paris tonight
Oh it’s
Burning tonight
And you left your mark in the night
In the night and you
Left your worries hiding in the dark
And you walk in the shadow
Hiding in the dark
And you’re waiting for your lover to be free
And it’s
Burning
Burning
Down and out in Paris tonight
Oh it’s burning tonight

Wayward Lovers
04:26
|
|||
As you are wilting in the dark
As you are waiting for a rose to pluck a light of hope
Of hope
And you’ve a diamond in your hand
It’s turning black as you are spinning round the same old hand
You’re wayward lovers
Can’t you see it’s over
Time to shine the sober light of day
Down on you
You pick the pieces in the dark
You’re circling like sharks
Wondering where it all went wrong
You’re wayward lovers
Can’t you see it’s over
Time to shine the sober light of day
Down on you
Now sweet crazed wings are falling
And love is twisted crawling
And hope is dark and scalding
And loves last hope has fallen through
Weren’t you the one the only one
It’s all gone
You’re wayward lovers
Can’t you see it’s over
Time to shine the sober light of day
Down on you
You’re wayward lovers
And your dreams went nowhere
Time to shine the sober light of day down on you
You pick the pieces in the dark

End Of The Road
04:01
|
|||
It’s the end of the road
It’s the end of a life that you’ve known
It’s the end of a picture show dream
Lost in a photograph ream
It’s the end of a love
That was so often misunderstood
But no one can live in your shoes
And now you have nothing to prove
Oh but
You don’t have to be the lonely one
You don’t
Have to live your life a sombre song
You can
Find a beautiful reflection
Under your skin
Far from the eyes of man
It’s the end of a storm
Of a beautiful dazzling form
Of a mind that is bold and extreme
That left you weak at the knees
It the end of a fire
To be lost in the arms of desire
To fall at the feet of a queen
And let yourself under the dream
And there’s no such thing
As a perfect goodbye so you’ll bring
Every moment wrapped in a chord
And life it is meant to be flawed
Oh but
You don’t have to be the lonely one
You don’t
Have to live your life a sombre song
You can
Find a beautiful reflection
Under your skin
Far from the eyes of man
Oh you’ll
Start out again
Leave ashes to winds
Whoever you are
Whoever you are
And you’ll find comfort in
The beautiful arms of a friend
Whoever you are
Whoever you are
And you’ll tear down your walls
You’ll build a beautiful world
And you know life it’s about to unfold
So
You don’t have to be the lonely one
You don’t
Have to live your life a sombre song
You can
Find a beautiful reflection
Under your skin
Far from the eyes of man

Ghost Ship
02:42
|
|||
I’m riding a ghost ship tonight
And I’ve never seen the dark
Wrap around the light so tight
And you’re the one
That builds the sinking ship at night
And you’re the one with burning beams and guns to fight
But I can hear
The sound of horses roaring
Hear the tolling bell
Dark whispered voices calling
And its love I’m going to wrap around the world tonight
And you I’m gonna to show you all the light
The light in your life
There’s gonna be a real fight tonight
And you’ve got all your big ideas
But no sense to really figure them out
And you’re the one who waves the flag of hate tonight
And you’re the one who fills us full of fear at night
But I can hear
The sound of horses roaring
Hear the tolling bell
Dark whispered voices calling
And its love I’m going to wrap around the world tonight
And you I’m gonna to show you all the light
The light in your life
Well you paid your dues
You stood in line
And there’s not much left to go around
And the odds of life are stacked to win
But you know you can always dream
Rich men sit in ivory towers
Preaching to you how to cry
But you’re a rock
You’re a stone
You’re a Father
Brother
Son
And I can hear
The sound of horses roaring
Hear the tolling bell
Dark whispered voices calling
And its love I’m going to wrap around the world tonight
And you I’m gonna to show you all the light
The light in your life

Utopia
04:34
|
|||
I am the mountain
You are the sun
Paper anchors won’t bring me down
I am the falcon
Sharp and strong
Lonely traveller looking down
Take me back to Toularoux
I have been there
In a dream
A dream you know
But I’ll go back to Toularoux
Where lovers melt together
I’ll go back to Toularoux
Where sisters fly together
I will take the dangerous road
To reach Utopia
You know it’s worth the danger to go
I am the python
Sleek and strong
I am under your every stone
And I have seen your face before
I have heard you
Through every door
I’ve seen it all
And I’ll go back to Toularoux
Where lovers melt together
I’ll go back to Toularoux
Where sisters fly together
I will take the dangerous road
To reach Utopia
You know it’s worth the danger to go
Oh but
I don’t want to be the fighter
I don’t want to be the writer of wars…

We Won't Let It Be
03:30
|
|||
You’re a woman on the heels
Of the bold of the free, the believers
In world without pain and no one bringing you down
You’re the skin on the drum
You’re the rattle, the burns, the deceivers
You’re the light in the dark
When you’re standing out on your own
So my girl thicken up
I’m changing my skin to wolf tonight
Oh my girl light the light
I’m changing my skin to fire tonight
And the girl I used to be
You’re a powerful mind
You won’t bend to the blind believers
Not a woman not a man just a mind standing on your own
And if they don’t like you
They should love what you do
Standing on the edge when no one else will
Changing my skin to wolf I’ll walk with you
So my girl thicken up
I’m changing my skin to wolf tonight
Oh my girl
Light the light
I’m changing my skin to fire tonight
For the girl I used to be
So Maya Angelou
Alice walker
We will walk with you
Simone De Beauvoir
Angela Carter
We will walk with you
When the sun comes up
And the day there after
A name won’t make me bend or falter
For the girl I used to be
I’m a woman on the heels
Of the bold of the free the believers
In a world without pain and no one bringing you down
And if they don’t like you they should love what you do
Standing on the edge when no one else will
Changing my skin to wolf I’ll walk with you
So my girl thicken up
I’m changing my skin to wolf tonight
So my girl light the light
I’m changing my skin to fire tonight
For the girl I used to be
We won’t let it be.

Fighting To Sleep
03:00
|
|||
We are fighting to sleep
My minds a cacophony of
Love and fear and beauty
I am bound to your every breath
We have stolen the night again
This is no ordinary love
I’d empty oceans trample seas
To give to you your every need
This is no ordinary love
I’d swallow thunderbolts of hate
To shelter you from every pain
If I buy you a rose
You’ll see that beauty has a thorn
But minds are made of stone
And highs follow lows
Winds will carry you home my love
This is no ordinary love
I’d empty oceans trample seas
To give to you your every need
This is no ordinary love
I’d swallow thunder bolts of hate
To shelter you from every pain
My insomniac dreams are floating again were lying peacefully alive
My insomniac dreams are floating again were lying peacefully alive
This is no ordinary love
I’d empty oceans trample seas
To give to your every need

The Wreck
04:22
|
|||
Caught them in a trap
Eye fixed on your back
Salt seeps in the skin
Hard to watch them sink
Sent out on a plank
Won’t be coming back
Drum with aching oars
Drunk before they sank
They’ll sink you’ll
Run oh run oh run oh run oh run oh run oh run
Running under the aching sea
Run oh run oh run oh run oh run oh run oh run
Running under the aching sea
Ah you’ll sleep on granite boulders
Ah you’ll weep on leaves of gold
Ah you’ll dance on lover’s shoulders
And it’s such an angry world
Oh Run oh run oh run oh run oh run oh run oh run
Running under the aching sea
You’ll feast the minds of lovers
And you’ll sink the blind and low
Ah you’ll watch as beauty covers
Every inch the angry world
Caught them in a trap
Eye fixed on your back
Salt seeps in the skin
Hard to watch them sink
Sent out on a plank
Won’t be coming back
Drum with open oars
Drunk before they sank
Oh you’ll sleep on granite boulders
Ah you’ll weep on leaves of gold
Ah you’ll dance on lover’s shoulders
Cause it’s such an angry world
Run oh run oh run oh run oh run oh run oh run
Running under the aching sea

Carnaby Street
04:10
|
|||
I don’t need you
To live this life
But if we fall out of the stars
We could feel alive
I don’t need you
To live this life
But if take a chance I know
We could feel alive
And the lights they shone on no one
Under the Christmas tree
You walked with me on Carnaby Street
Under the city lights we
Left our troubles out to sea
Under the city lights we were free
I don’t need you
To walk this earth
But I know I know I know I know I know
Without you I’d be tormented I’d be cursed
I don’t need you
To see the sun
But I can feel it in my bones
Without you it would burn at every turn
And the lights they shone on no one
Under the Christmas tree
You walked with me on Carnaby Street
Under the city lights
We left our troubles out to sea
Under the city lights we were free
And the lights they shone no one
Under the Christmas tree
You walked with me on Carnaby Street
Under the city lights we left our troubles out to sea
Under the city lights we were free
