Creeper Lagoon

pour yourself a strong drink she said thats all i needed have a seat with a cold trick that spun for days with out you turn around theres a new spring that lifts the weight of wanting empty ships will slow sink themselves in blue and chasing follow through with a strong swing im told saw stars forever walk around with a slow step behind those streets gone nowhere take a bow you can fly far with all that luck your saving empty ships will slow sink themselves in blue and chasing put it down your all done for now lets walk in wonder take a dive in a clear thought slow down say help im shaking change your name to a lost cause tuned out for years left sailing empty ships will slow sink themselves in blue and chasing

First of all
I'm not as down as you
And there is a better way
To walk around these days
I don't believe in cool
I went to summer school
There was a man unkown
Stripped himself down to the bone
And he said
"Hey, give me nothing, I'm from nowhere
And you don't know my name"
He doesn't exist
Guess I just missed
Chance of a lifetime
Romance and white wine
Easy living
A new beginning

Blind as wood
And there's not a bone in my body that's good
I watch the tanks roll by
Disguising themselves as the ambulance
Who will race to the show
Waving flowers and caskets, oh no
It's just another win for hope and a heart made of tin
If I were alive I would slow dance in the ghetto
And sleep beneath the street
Doesn't exist
Guess I just missed
Chance of a lifetime
Christmas and sweet pine
Easy living
A new beginning

Left all alone
Watching breakups and afternoon drama
I must have lost my mind
She was trapped on the bus
With a kiss in her hand
And when the screams died down
Her lips were on fire
Spitting magic around
There was one more mile
It was long it was long
I would float on the thermals of laughter
High where I belong
It doesn't exist
Guess I just missed
Chance of a lifetime
Lemonade and sunshine
Easy living
It's just beginning

I said, slide back, relax
I wanna hold you, but you break
Please just let it out
If you think I'm a ghost
Well touch me sweet Sheila
Cause I can't take it no more
Every day I'm away
Stumbling for what to say
Hey, I'm coming down like a wrecking ball
Breaking her heart
What are you supposed to be?
Won't you get close to me?
Break that building down!
And you know it's tough to take
I got to hold you, but you break
Please just let it out
Every day I'm away
Stumbling for what to say
Hey, I'm coming down like a wrecking ball
Breaking her heart
Like a plane that's coming down
Like a wrecking ball falling apart
Every day I always come to find
Everyone's dumb and blind
I say just fuckit all
I know it's fairless, heartless, careless
Hey, I'm coming down like a wrecking ball
Breaking her heart
Like a plane that's coming down
Like a wrecking ball
Falling apart

Grey hair is taking hold of me
Snake charmer's cut my throat and i'm loose again
Fell down drinking wine with him
Stole my saxophone
Stripped me to skin and bone

Sad and lifeless
Red and cruel
Ask myself can i fight this
Hangman standing in my room
Telling me jokes again
Nineteen he was handsome
A ray farmer spreading sun on the roofs of man
Moon queen she was sexual
Silver hands to hold
Bouquet of marigold

Sad to love her
Lip gloss and rouge
Nothing he had could touch her
Frail arms reaching for the star
Sparkling jewel

Sunfair
Blinds me she's hysterical
Sunfair
Finds my heart breakable
Sunfair
Burns me down

Delia had
Hot pink fingernails
Grey armour bright red shoes
And a violin
Take care
Cause she's emotional
Loves her alcohol
Hates me when i don't call

Sad to love her
Lip gloss and rouge
Nothing i had could touch her
Frail arms reaching for the star
Sparkling jewel

Sunfair
Blinds me she's hysterical
Sunfair
Finds my heart breakable
Sunfair
Burns me down

I ran around with my head cut off
And it was frightening, to say the least
Crowds of people stood around and stared
And it was frightening, to say the least
Baby I should have come home when I had the chance
But I was elastic, and I was stretching everybody's dreams

I saw the sun stagger up, bloody red
It was fantastic, took my last sip
I felt my legs buckle down to the brick
I stand and fall, walked then crawled
Baby I should have come home when I had the chance
But I was elastic, and I was stretching everybody's dreams

Stay up all night
Gonna get wasted, yeah you were right
Cheer up, I'll be alright
Gonna fall graceful, gonna fall light

I felt insane, heading home dressed in sheets
Barely breathing, shaking and freezing
And now it's all sinking in, bittersweet
That she won't touch me, hold or trust me
Baby I should have come home when I had the chance
But I was a bastard, and I was wrecking everybody's dreams

Stay up all night
Gonna get wasted, yeah you were right
Cheer up, I'll be alright
Gonna fall graceful, gonna fall light

There will be light in the street
A cold coffin, merry sweet
One more dead killer
Waiting
Losing his love
Now he lives in seclusion
Counting his days
He has hopelessly won
Knocked out of breath
He is facing the sun
Whose drugs are these

Make me colorful please
Diving in summer
Come on, come on
You are a child in wonder

There will be love in the heat
Naked days and jealous weeks
White shoes in leather
Fading
Losing their shine
Dollar bills made of sadness
Asking you, are these things mine
Chasing the string
On through the night
You are standing in stone
Someone turn on the light

Make me colorful please
Diving in summer
Come on, come on
You are a child in wonder

Is it true that you can take one
Is it through you I will play on
I am used to being so done
All this will change before it is through

Some who will lose and never say
Hold me I'm weak
Break bread with your hero
Listen to jealousy speak
I will complicate all I meet
Saying life is good and
Death is sweet
All this in vain
No wonder I'm older again

There is a place
it has a face
and he was walking out the door.

His mother said
she was ashamed
cause he had no place to go.

He was afraid
And I was fine,
And he wanted, peace of mind.

Three times turned
And your gone,
and your gone
You are free,
You are free,
And its a long way home.

What have we done
Is it wrong
Is it wrong
Is it me, cant you see
its a long way home.

There is a snake,
and he will awake,
and he'll get you off the floor.

You'll start to shake,
your friends will sweat,
you are high, you will forget.

She is afraid
cause you are dying,
But you have got your peace of mind.

Three times turned
And your go,
and your go
You are free,
You are free,
And its a long way home

What have we done
Is it wrong
Is it wrong
Is it me, cant you see
its a long way home

And i won't make your dreams come true,
Its all you,
you got to change your lonely ways,
To make it through

You found a place
In outer space,
were you don't hurt anymore

Your lovely hand
has slipped away,
And there is nothing left to say

And we were born
of yellow sand
There is no plan
there is no end.

Three times turned
And you go,
and you go
You are free,
You are free,
And its a long way home

All night long
I was wrong
I was wrong
It was me, cant you see
its a long way home

It took a million lives to see her smile
Don't touch, it's too much
To break it and she´ll send you home
Afraid of love
Afraid you might get hurt.
So good luck,
Don't get stuck,
Turn around before you can go back.

Hey sister where you been
I'm alone and out here it's dangerous
Tell my friends I'm coming home
It's a bust and they drove me crazy

Don't care what they say
I'm stranger now
Brought down this whole town
And I'm stranger now

Hey brother who you with
Make her dance hot girls will tame you
Hold your breath let it out how you feel
The hit's going to change you

Don't care if they stay
I'm stranger now
Brought down this whole town
And I'm stranger now

Late fall afternoon
I paid for a room
I saw her and froze
Her name's apple rose

Rose brought me to bleed
I couldn't believe
Dazzling scenes
Passed out in dreams
And now I'm stranger

Hey lover check it out I'm a freak
With tripped out behavior
Now you know how I been and it's great
‘Cause I've gone insane here

Don't care what they say
I'm a stranger now
Brought down this whole town
And I'm stranger now

Some days you feel grand
and there's games to play
enter a flame you cannot explain
she is divine you say
i am grand and you are mine
will you dine today?
and she caught my heart w/ a gentle stare
soothing me in every way
while she's slowly slipping away
calm down it's okay
she's too fine for you
go away she's got things to do
and has no time for you
and she broke my heart w/ a gentle stare
losing her faster than a sound
cause she knows no one lives in the ground
ooh don't you walk away
you're amazing and i'd be
ooh if you didn't stay
can you blame me i'm just a fool from another day
and i'm lonely so won't you be brave
feeling stoned in a funny way
i guess it's time to go
heading north where the days are cold
and the time is slow
i would live alone in my house of stone
staring out at the sea
wondering what is wrong w/ me
ooh don't you walk away you're amazing and i'd be
ooh if you didn't stay
can you blame me i'm just a fool from another day
and i'm lonely so won't you be brave
lights out and i cannot sleep
i guess it rained today
a blue rose i cannot keep
has found a way
to make me change all the things i wear
fading slowly w/ time
is the thought that someday she would be mine
ooh don't you walk away
you're amazing and i'd be blue if you didn't stay
can you blame me i'm just a fool from another day
and i'm lonely so won't you be brave

Take down this ragged nest
You have built on unsteady ground
Bury what is left so safely
When no one is around
Years past sleeping in winter's place
Waiting deep underground
Rainfalls and so dry again
Is this the end

(chorus)
Keep from moving
You're paralyzed from trying to recover
From that horrible breath of chemicals
You are losing
Bullets from withing your mind
And breaking walls of cannibals
Looking to empower you, devour you

Hold brace here it comes
Like a wind from inside spinning around
Let go as you turn you will learn
How to live softly alone

Roses on a lover's dress
Will soothe you from within
Diving away following birds of prey
Like an old friend you are losing again
Gentle are days covering warm at dusk
The moon sings to stars that he lost
Look how awkwardly strange we are
In our plain ways

(chorus)

Take your time coming home
Such a clear night summer feels right
Hold break here it comes
Like a wind from inside spinning around
Let go as you turn you will learn
How to live softly alone
Each day passes by like a cloud in the sky
You can't be found
Moses has forgiven you for living quietly alone

Take your time coming home
Such a clear night summer feels right
I let it all break so I can see straight
I'm on the thin line
It's going to be the last time
Affection where I can't be
I wish the light would take me
Can I ask you why you gave in
Did it feel like you were caged in
I loved you till you ran out
Now it's time to fade out

So long to the life you always knew,
Was never meant to be,
Throw out a kiss and relax,
You're growing away from me,
Dance while the music's on,
And the summer days grow long,
Take my hand you are lost,
But soon you will be found.
Here we are, come down,
Spend some time away,
Here we are, come down,
You're so fine that way with me,
The captain's drinking port,
And he's sorry to report,
The engine's slowing down,
Yeah we're all going to drown,
I think I see the light,
Love will make you right,
Pull up your head and instead,
Let's waltz into the night.
Here we are, come down,
Spend some time away,
Here we are, come down,
You're so fine that way,
Spend some time away,
Some time away with me,
Here we are, come down (x8)
