Beating Heart

In the car, a beating motion
I sleep with one eye open
On the train stands my sister with a gun
Her eyes are burning in the evening sun
Oh in the deep clay, roots are alive
With silver hair spray, oh you own the night
And they look at me with blood brimmed eyes
Oh they scare me, oh my
And I return, home to your kind lovely eyes
Dynamite eyes
You want to feel the dread, that’s what my sister said
Her hair in my hand in the dark
Now you’re gonna run, too far and fast, in the rain
I'm gonna heal your pain, that’s what my sister said
Oh, the thunder roar and my legs ache, it’s keeping me awake
So how am I gonna find you when I call your name?

Diamonds on Concrete

This can only begin, with the roses and the sins
And the crumbling heart beating to an odd beat
Between the spinning wheel and the ticket machine
I saw your tears fall down to the floor
Like diamonds on concrete
The game is on, how sweet
Take my hand, take my whole life too
My heart grows old loving you like a fool
In a matter of time, you’ll slip my mind
I saw your tears fall down to the floor like
Diamonds on concrete
The game is on, how sweet
Take my hand, take my whole life too
My heart grows old loving you like a fool

One Summer

I had to wake you from your sleep, your sleep
The morning came with a soft summer breeze, soft summer breeze
That day, I was afraid of everything
And the corners of my eyes where full of dust
That day our house fell my heart collapsed
The pipes and tubes were sticking out
And I had to lose you by the cross, the cross
The smell of smoke that came with the wind
And the corners of my eyes were full of dust
And that day I was forced to lose the sight of you
I wake in fright and see them shine
See them coming, wash themselves
In holy water, holy water
See them coming, wash themselves
In holy water, holy water
See them coming, wash themselves
In holy water, holy water
See them coming, wash themselves
In holy water, holy water

Chewing Gum

You grow old and you're drunk as hell
You drink until your problems seem pretty
Teeth and pink chewing gum
In your mouth that's terribly witty
You’re smart gir
You grow old and you still can’t tell
Why shit gets twisted and turned
It's a daze a deep swirl
Cheer up
Their fists are gonna knock you out
Going round and round
In circles that are made of sand
I can’t find a place to land
You haven’t made it clear yet
That you are becoming the one
Who you are trying to run from
You haven’t made it clear yet
That the smoke is hiding the sun
In the cocoon you have spun
You haven’t made it clear yet
I’m not trying to break your heart
I’m just trying not to fall apart

Closed My Eyes

Closed my eyes like Marliyn
Closed my eyes like Lolita
Closed my eyes like Tina on the side of the road
Waiting for someone, waiting for someone
And I felt love
Closed my eyes like Kimberly
Closed my eyes like Brenda
Closed my eyes like Sarah by the velvet window sill
Waiting for someone, waiting for someone
And I felt love
