    Inbetween Days



    Yesterday I got so old
    I felt like I could die
    Yesterday I got so old
    It made me want to cry
    Go on go on
    Just walk away
    Go on go on
    Your choice is made
    Go on go on
    And disappear
    Go on go on
    Away from here

    And I know I was wrong
    When I said it was true
    That it couldn't be me and be her
    Inbetween without you
    Without you

    Yesterday I got so scared
    I shivered like a child
    Yesterday away from you
    It froze me deep inside
    Come back come back
    Don't walk away
    Come back come back
    Come back today
    Come back come back
    Why can't you see?
    Come back come back
    Come back to me

    And I know I was wrong
    When I said it was true
    That it couldn't be me and be her
    Inbetween without you
    Without you





    Kyoto Song



    A nightmare of you
    Of death in the pool
    Wakes me up at quarter to three
    I'm lying on the floor of the night before
    With a stranger lying next to me
    A nightmare of you
    Of death in the pool
    I see no further now than this dream
    The trembling hands of the trembling man
    Hold my mouth
    To hold in a scream

    I try to think
    To make it slow
    If only here is where I go
    If this is real
    I have to see
    I turn on fire
    And next to me...
    It looks good!
    It tastes like nothing on earth
    It looks good!
    It tastes like nothing on earth
    Its so smooth it even feels like skin
    It tells me how it feels to be new

    It tells me how it feels to be new
    A thousand voices whisper it true
    It tells me how it feels to be new
    And every voice belongs
    Every voice belongs to you




    The Blood



    Tell me who doesn't love
    What can never come back
    You can never forget how it used to feel
    The illusion is deep
    It's as deep as the night
    I can tell by your tears you remember it all

    I am paralysed by the Blood of Christ
    Though it clouds my eyes
    I can never stop

    How it feels to be dry
    Walking bare in the sun
    Every mirage I see is a mirage of you
    As I cool in the twilight
    Taste the salt on my skin
    I recall all the tears
    All the broken words

    I am paralysed by the Blood of Christ
    Though it clouds my eyes
    I can never stop

    When the sunset's glow drifts away from you
    You'll no longer know
    If any of this was really true at all...




    Six Different Ways



    This is stranger than I thought
    Six different ways inside my heart
    And every one I'll keep tonight
    Six different ways go deep inside

    I'll tell them anything at all
    I know I'll give them more and more

    I'll tell them anything at all
    I know I'll give the world and more
    They think I'm on my hands and head
    This time they're much too slow

    Six sides to every lie I say
    It's that American voice again
    "It was never quite like this before
    Not one of you is the same... "

    This is stranger than I thought
    Six different ways inside my heart
    And everyone I'll keep tonight
    Six different ways go deep inside




    Push



    Go go go!
    Push him away
    No no no!
    Don't let him stay...

    He gets inside to stare at her
    The seeping mouth
    The mouth that knows
    The secret you
    Always you
    A smile to hide the fear away
    Oh! smear this man across the walls
    Like strawberries and cream
    It's the only way to be

    Exactly the same clean room
    Exactly the same clean bed
    But I've stayed away too long this time
    And I've got too big to fit this time...





    The Baby Screams



    Heaven
    Give me a sign
    Waiting for the sun to shine
    Pleasure fills up my dreams
    And I love it
    Like a baby screams

    Its so useless
    How can you be proud
    When you're sinking into the ground
    Into the ground fills up my dreams
    And I love it
    Like a baby screams

    Couldn't ask for more you said
    Take it all
    And strike me
    Strike me dead

    Waiting again
    Waiting
    Like I waited before
    Waiting again
    Waiting here for nothing at all
    Heaven fills up my dreams
    And I love it
    Like a baby screams

    Couldn't ask for more you said
    Couldn't ever let it end
    Take it all
    Take it all
    And strike me dead

    Heaven!
    Heaven!




    Close to Me



    I've waited hours for this
    I've made myself so sick
    I wish I'd stayed asleep today
    I never thought this day would end
    I never thought tonight could ever be
    This close to me

    Just try to see in the dark
    Just try to make it work
    To feel the fear before you're here
    I make the shapes come much too close
    I pull my eyes out
    Hold my breath
    And wait until I shake...

    But if I had your faith
    Then I could make it safe and clean
    If only I was sure
    That my head on the door was a dream

    I've waited hours for this
    I've made myself so sick
    I wish I'd stayed asleep today
    I never thought this day would end
    I never thought tonight could ever be
    This close to me

    But if I had your face
    I could make it safe and clean
    If only I was sure
    That my head on the door
    Was a dream




    A Night Like This



    Say goodbye on a night like this
    If it's the last thing we ever do
    You never looked as lost as this
    Sometimes it doesn't even look like you
    It goes dark
    It goes darker still
    Please stay
    But I watch you like I'm made of stone
    As you walk away...

    I'm coming to find you if it takes me all night
    A witch hunt for another girl
    For always and ever is always for you
    Your trust
    The most gorgeously stupid thing I ever cut in the world

    Say hello on a day like today
    Say it everytime you move
    The way that you look at me now
    Makes me wish I was you
    It goes deep
    It goes deeper still
    This touch
    And the smile and the shake of your head...

    I'm coming to find you if it takes me all night
    Can't stand here like this anymore
    For always and ever is always for you
    I want it to be perfect
    Like before...
    I want to change it all

    I want to change




    Screw



    When you screw up your eyes
    When you screw up your face
    When you throw out your arms
    And keep changing your shape
    Taste the taste in your mouth
    Taste the taste on your tongue
    On the film on your eyes of what I've become

    What do I do when you screw up your eyes?
    What do I do when you screw up your face?
    What do I do
    When you throw out your arms
    Fall on the floor
    And keep changing your shape?
    Jump right into your mouth?
    Jump around on your tongue?

    And the film on your eyes of the way I've become
    Makes me sick at the way that I try
    Anything in the world
    To impress that I'm doing this
    Only for you





    Sinking



    I am slowing down
    As the years go by
    I am sinking

    So I trick myself
    Like everybody else

    The secrets I hide
    Twist me inside
    They make me weaker

    So I trick myself
    Like everybody else

    I crouch in fear and wait
    I'll never feel again...
    If only I could remember
    Anything at all
