closer we are to sounding our cannons
faster we find, we're all alone
I take a step out into your window
I get the hint like a falling stone
up on the roof, out on the roof top
fighting the pull of the gravity aching
so there you are alone in your mansions
I take a tongue of the pouring sky
I lift it up and offering ransom
give me the wings or I'll dare to fly
up on the roof, out on the roof top
no one to tell me I never once knew you
closer we get to the roof top dear
closer we come to the atmosphere
braving the walk up the steep incline
sending you off with the butterflies
I can't keep you captive here
wouldn't be right, wouldn't be right
out all above the traffic and headway
somewhere up here I can find you again
somebody said you can't keep on going
I'll say I'll stop when I'm good and ready
up on the roof, out on the roof top
fighting the pull of the gravity aching
Well everybody's sure, that you don't know what you're made of
Well, I can be your doorway, if you're stuck, don't be ashamed just cause you feel like
Raging through these rooms, you got to feel alive.
I don't know what's in store, it's time to realize.
This fire ain't waitin for nothin
My siren, jet propulsion
This fire ain't waitin for nothin
take the gas canisters, torch the coffins
This fire ain't waitin for nothin
everybody makin off better than me, but I see
wakin up is easy, when our beds explode....
We can read the news, and we can pay the rent.
I can be your doll that listens when you don't make sense, we're talking real life.
There's not much left to do, you got to feel alive.
The party's just begun, it's time to realize.
This fire ain't waitin for nothin
My siren, jet propulsion
This fire ain't waitin for nothin
take the gas canisters, torch the coffins
This fire ain't waitin for nothin
everybody makin off better than me, but I see
wakin up is easy, when our beds explode....
how can i breathe without the slight of sound
hiding upstairs until there's no one around
is it the breeze that's tryin to make amends
phantom mosquito comin around again
somthing I feel is buzzing around my head
nothing to see, but I'm nectar red
cover your arms, let's try to make amends
something is hovering around again
fire in the motel
wire in your order
how we gonna keep these pistons turning over
here we decided to stand
and looking back isn't part of the plan
with all these phantom mosquitoes in tow
hey hey, here we go
gotta get by, we're doing as we must
we pack up our bags as their collecting dust
second guessing aways I assume
phantom mosquito never leaves the room
fire on the alter
ego in the water
how we gonna make it all the way to Austin
here we decided to stand
and looking back isn't part of the plan
with all these phantom mosquitoes in tow
hey hey, here we go
the artifacts uncovered now
I'm wide awake
its time to go with our mosquitoes in tow
why can't I let it all go
gonna give this a shot nobody can deny
nothing to loose son, nothing to loose son
i'm gonna let loose all my fuego balloons
you better run run, you better run run
over the islands and prime meridian lines
hovers a time bomb, hovers a time bomb
i bet you're wishing you could say you were sold from the start
you better run run
got me going all night
got me going all night
drop me off in mid flight
where we land we know we tried
we filled our heads and we laughed in the helium gas
don't be afraid no, don't be afraid no
just want to push this ship to the ocean at last
why can't you let go
got me going all night
got me going all night
drop me off in mid flight
where we land we know we tried
where do hide from the airplanes
when you were cold with your campaigns
we took the currents to the mountains
we're gonna burn in the big flames
where do we go, where do we fall, do you know
greater the weight, harder we all feel the blow
out of the air, into your back pockets
I can settle the scrore with century old rockets
parabolic sunday in the evening
orbiting the fire on the lawn
and while everybody's waiting in the ether
said no one's gonna notice that I'm gone
its something that we're missing in the motion
passing with the phantoms in the breeze
you say how we gonna get to California
cause I want to be the actor on the screen
from the inside outside
you were camera gun shy
under lights, you felt so alive
with you head above the red tide
no need, no need to steer the boat
no point to keep this side afloat
your sheepish worries drove the salt
into your eyes
counting the waves, new paradigms
changing the way, we tell the time
your body washed up on the shore and we come clean
from the inside outside
you were camera gun shy
under lights, you felt so alive
with you head above the red tide
we go alone, we swim alone, into the red tide.
turned upside down, keeping it in
behind myself, I just can't win
hands to my face, what could it be
warm to the lips, quit staring at me
sorry I spilled...
It's in my head, I can't contain
I'm not so sure I'm burnt in the brain
please keep me still, ears to the door
wondering why, my face to the floor
we play the game with a tough mind
our petty coats on the lamp line
oh mister please would you spare change
some things I'd just like to re-arrange
sorry I spilled...
we fall so hard, could this be wrong
so far from me, can't stop nose bleed.
cracked against the cement
I'm gonna throw the caution to the wind
destroying all the particles of air
inhaling all the tangles of your hair
I'm running in your eyes, I'm soaked in peroxide
calling in the droves, our men in the combines
trying to get some room to breathe in deep
when everybody's trying to get a piece of me
my black lung, symbiotic adoration
oh god, the martyrdom
we keep you close so long
I"m working full time in the space
where the lions teach me what the fighting's for
what's the fighting for?
keep a waging war
in cities of mosaic alveoli
resting the flames of fumes and swells
in cavities so deep in mine your mine
I'm running in your eyes, I'm soaked in peroxide
calling in the droves, our men in the combines
trying to get some room to breathe in deep
when everybody's trying to get a piece of me
my black lung, keeping me in equilibrium
oh god, the martyrdom
we keep you close so long
I"m working full time in the space
where the lions teach me what the fighting's for
black lung the avalon, we can breathe so clear
I lost all regret in the sweat
just to maintain balance in between my ears
oh sunshine making me a breathless mime
dioxide whispering a precious rhyme
my oh my, you're making me a nervous wreck
with charcoal tongue giving me a heart attack
I'm running in your eyes...
i got a resistor in my heart
taking the currents that warm and spark
and keeping me at bay here in the dark
i'm turning on both my isotope arms
twisting the specimen out of harm
the one that I might keep close for the karma
I've got the Novocain in my veins
and paralyzed in this soaking rain
and hoping that you'll meet me here in the end
rusty the barbed wires run through the trees
catching the foxes and nipping across your knees
running the spot light that I can depend on
over our wild eyes
where the black birds hide
in the southern air
we will find you there
we take the car out back kill the lights
and now we've come so far, pick me up, hold me tight
and from the surface, we're moons from where we started
I wanna turn this thing inside out
all through the tall green grass, looking for glass angels
wondering where my feet will plant in the ground
over our wild eyes
where the black birds hide
in the southern air
we will find you there
we fell across the borders at night
maria watched from the other side
pharaoh parades in apocalypse now
well hey hey hey hey
we made enough to package it home
the stakes is high on the telephone
over the walls taking cover at night
well hey hey hey
oh i need this now.
hold steady hands on a mission
work petty pay on a shoe string
maria oh God I miss you
I guess you're getting what you wished for
hammers and nails when eye lids are close
I wrote a letter and sent it home
just like the whales, we're dodging harpoons
well I'm on my way
fixing the stars that hang from their strings
no longer soaring with mighty wings
a carpenter alone in the throws
well hey hey hey hey
oh i need this now
hold steady hands on a mission
work petty pay on a shoe string
maria oh God I miss you
I guess you're getting what you wished for
we're building empires from nothing
our bloody backs took the wanting
maria oh God I miss you
I guess you're getting what you wished for
and we sing to feel alive
wake in the morning for my nine to five
a pilgrimage far far away from home
better than the life we own...
is it any wonder, i'm scared to death
hear the thunder i just can't bear
to tear the sheets and clouds off of my spare bed
maybe evil lurks from under there
anybody listening?
i can be a bit too paranoid
i can hear you walking
stepping on my back stop feel the void
is it any wonder, you're not so tough
is it any wonder, its not enough
screaming deep inside my lonely heart
feel me please and say you'll never part
anybody listening?
i can be a bit too paranoid
i can hear you walking
stepping on my back stop feel the void
only in my sleep I see them coming
taking over every dollar store
yes its in my head I feel you thinking
I can be a bit too paranoid
half a mile away from you
half a mile too far to move
