SKYSCRAPER
i’m gonna fix you a skyscraper. never mix, never worry and we
come out alive. we try to drown it in white wine. i wouldn’t place your money on a love like mine like the girls always do. you’re a heart so breakable and i am see thru. thick as glass. she’s droppin love grenades . honey what’s it gonna take to make a man out of me? i don’t know…and when she takes off her makeup, she writes my song in lipstick on the mirror singin note for note. oooh look at you now!
 
THURSDAY
this saturday, it’s goin down on another plane. when the vulture turns to dove, it’s through the looking glass now. ah the love is all around. we have seen the other side. it hasn’t been a lullaby. from a vulture turned to dove, it’s through the looking glass now. oh the love is all around. as above, so below. i got my spotlight on you. i know you know that i do. i wanna give it away. thursday night is comin on and i’m gonna sing it to you. i’m gonna give it away like it’s already saturday. as above, so below.
 
BABY, IT’S YOUR LIFE
when you get up, you get up. when you’re down, you go down. i hope you’re getting a kick out of this, sweetheart. i hope you’re gonna laugh as much as you can. try to do them right when they do you wrong – they might be writing you this song. we’ve got the same spider that’s creepin in and you know the kind of rough that you’re a diamond in. baby, it’s your life. baby, it’s your life. you gotta love your life have fun with your life. when you’re in the zone, when you’re on the shelf, when your real i.d. says you are somebody else, when you’re on a plane when you’re uptown or you’re in the nude all wrapped up in a towel, if your high heel gets caught up in your gown and you tumble down the stairs right into a crowd, i hope you’re getting a kick out of this sweetheart. i hope you’re gonna laugh as much as you can. baby, it’s your life. baby, it’s your life. you gotta live your life. have fun with your life. don’t freak out! no!
 
HONEYMADE
when you’re honeymade like you are, honey, we’re in the golden state and we don’t even know what we know. well i had written the book but never really tasted love. a love like yours‚ your eyes, your eyes. we spin around and around. we’re in a sea of green. we grew us a garden and we got sunset sound in one room. have you read my book? i just want a taste of your love. a love like yours. your eyes, your eyes. we spin around and around and around and around. you can pause press play on repeat all day to hear me say i do. i put my love on paper for whatever these days – i know i should know better. we’re orbiting satellites, not a faint and distant glow. here we go: we spin around and around.
 
THE LOOP!
they finally made the loop today and all of green creation fell up into sky. the low became the high. it was only for a moment, but the moment seemed forever, songs i can’t describe were falling from the sky! it was beautiful, the sound was. and i keep on thinking about how the colors rained down on my head. it sounded like a symphony. and after the storm passed, ringing in my ears. everything was clear. we finally could see. or was that just me? oooh la la la! so now we mark the days on the cellar door. they told us we should stay right where we are. but jenny o. has her guitar. it sounds beautiful. the sound was so beautiful. oh the endless possibilities. the sophisticated melodies. was it for science or another war? you wasted your love but you cannot waste your love on me.
 
WE GET HIGH
someone must have turned the key. the prisoners are running
free. they’re climbing over barbed wire and concertina singing every little lullaby. are we flying or fallen? we leave the war tonite. leave the war. what they tryin to do to me? i’m staring out of windows. sometimes you have to watch it go like your own movie. come to california and find your calling! one more leaves the war tonite. leave the war! and we’ll get high, constant, faraway. breaking curses. o, the anthem of are we the only living souls around?
 
AUGUSTA VAIL
they float the halls and the souls collect and meet me. they sing
my song tonite. augusta vail, how the mausoleum suits you. nobody sings like you. is the higher plane temporary? will we find our way out of mazes and paper bags? and the song will go: when everyone i know is in a row, i will turn to you. that’s when i’ll turn to you and say, i love you. is the higher plane temporary? will we find our way out of mazes and paper bags? is this your end or just the beginning? are you still wandering? she said the rust of lust will never undo my sugared cage. it’s a fine thing to pass into nothing‚ in the nothing you will find. and for the rest of us (what little i know about history) we shouldn’t run run run: we never come back again. it’s comin on!!
 
THE FLOWER IN MY HEAD
so now you wait for it. it comes to you. it just comes to you. it’s like the flower in my head, how i knew you would. it just comes to you. and all the voices in my hands of yesterday have all but one faded away. it comes to you. i blink and the story’s on the wall. new lines on my face new lines of a poem so loud and quiet at the same time. i don’t know what we’ll find but don’t look back now. before you right now…
 
THE VAMPIRE’S KISS
i sail by the stars and the bloom is still on. won’t spend the day chasing a shadow when the shine is so strong. too much is right every page is our song of how we came and how we’ll go with a caress of steel. cuz there’s a red moon low in the sky and a santa ana. we are love we are taken for granted. i’m only here for this moment. siri guru daveh nameh. the things they do to me are they tryin to make me bleed? i will never need them like they need me. still they made a gangster out of me. siri guru daveh nameh. i wanna love you i wanna love you i…i’m gonna decide to stay young. you’ll be on the tip of my tongue. and there’s one thing i miss about the vampire’s kiss, but i could never bite them like they bit me. and that’s what they cannot stand about me. they made a gantsta out of me. siri guru daveh nameh. i wanna love you i wanna love you i…and my oh my i do. your sun is coming up and you’re still alive.
