Wait Wait I'm on the edge of my chair And it's you who put me there You keep me there
Wait, wait, wait I'm not complaining I haven't lost anything I can't recover
I want to throw our story high But too many words to sky-write Of acrobats and liars Paper moons in mackerel skies
Ten years fly stand at your window tonight I'm coming by I'm coming back for you
And tonight Honey we ride Hey who let the psycho in He's messing up everything Doesn't anyone see him
Wait wait wait I'm not complaining He can't take anything I can't recover
I want to throw our story high But too many words to sky-write Of acrobats and liars paper moons in mackerel skies
Ten years fly Stand at your window tonight I'm coming by I'm coming back for you
And tonight It's alright when we ride When we ride When we ride It's alright when we ride When we ride It's alright I'm coming back for you And tonight Honey we ride Tonight Honey we ride
What it comes down to What could ever take your place What it comes down to Honey what could take your place
Not a song Not a thousand strong You will not be turned away Will it come soon The voice in the corner of the room The hissing head by the bed I spit back but it just laughs And then attacks And I reach for you
Every devil in this house Wants to have it out But i can reach for you Not in song but with real arms warm And not be turned away
I can turn and turn i can turn And still be facing the wrong way And you grab me by the belt And spin me you spin me And we're dancing again Dancing again
Every devil in this house Wants to have it out But i can reach for you Every devil in this house Tries to call me out But i can reach for you
I can reach for you I can reach for you I can reach for you
I can reach for you I can reach for you I can reach for you And not be turned away
You accuse me of fancy talk When i'm just trying to find my words You've got a funny way of saying my name Like i just ripped it off
These whiskey tango ghosts Won't leave us alone But you are too polite to complain Of the art of speaking plain I haven't gathered a thing
While I know we're dug in deep here Why can't we live high with the wind You're just a freckle away from changing everything I'll make this easy By calling on my gypsy pedigree
These whiskey tango ghosts Won't leave us alone Of the art of speaking plain I haven't gathered a thing
While i know we're dug in deep here Why can't we live high with the wind Can't we live
Of the art of making waves I had my lesson in spades And these ghosts they make it plain They're never going away
And my ghost she makes it plain I haven't gathered a thing Though I know we're dug in deep here Why can't we live high with the wind Can't we live
There i said it i've done you wrong The miles i ran away to call you on the phone And whisper uglinesses sweetly down the line I believed your heart was mine
I'm unspeakably full of it I keep my heart on hinges just in case you quit me When we were diving gold and pearling in the waves I pretended I was brave
But weren't we were we magic and dizzy And weren't we were we deadly and blue And weren't we riding high crossing a thousand fine lines When I was young and ballsy and true, to you
Is it hot out there Is it hard to breathe And do you need me I can do this thing I can make it rain I will make sure it finds you
There I said it I've done you wrong You say i'm here and i say what took you so long When we were finally free I stumbled in your room Telling stories telling stories
But weren't we were magic and dizzy And weren't we were we blinding and blue And weren't we riding high spinning a thousand fine lies When I was young and ballsy and true to you When i was young and ballsy and true to you
What's that thing About a butterfly wing causing a typhoon If it's true a wire runs through each thing we do Then I better stay in my room Better stay in my room Better stay in my room
A dressing man will choose the white By this he saves a life I don't see her there 'till he comes up behind the sun shines on white I see the light i hit the brakes the dead girl walks away And I better stay in my room Better stay in my room Better stay in my room Better stay in my room
Better stay in my room Better stay in my Better stay in my room
You go for a ride a girl won't come home Or maybe that's not the way it goes Maybe she's fine Maybe you see a light in time People are born blaze and collide We go outside My hand pushes air I don't care I don't think About the butterfly thing
Honey come outside And don't think about The butterfly thing
This perfect day We make our way to the end of it With perfect grace I lay my head in your lap and walk away These days are sweet and strange We're happy in our star-scattered way Always
In this my life In this my life as a ghost In this my life My happy life as a ghost
I've been lifting out the stains from the stones Planting flowers where you'll never find my bones Seven sisters seven stars shooting home Shouts and whispers of a better fight in better times A day for the sweet and strange Or happy in some star-shattered way Our way
In this my life In this my life as a ghost In this my life My happy life as a ghost
This perfect day I lay my shield at your feet and beg to stay
You're in the room I can feel you I don't want to then I do I hear the voices of the graces in here Swimming around Up in the corners of our room
You hold the center and I sing forever And you won't hear the same song twice We're shorter of breath maybe longer in tooth lately You are the love of my life
I'm on your side Believe it or not Just don't sneak up on me And we'll do just fine hold out your arm And i will fly you To bring your leather And i will sink my pins in
You hold the center and i sing forever And you won't hear the same song twice We're shorter of breath maybe longer in tooth lately You are the love of my life
You are the mountain i'm the low-flying bi-plane We come together in the most calamitous ways You're the tsunami i am the fisher in the bay We come together In the most glamorous ways You hold the center I ride the satellite We come together You are the love of my life
I'm not afraid Of a voice I hear Calling me strong Calling me on
I hold these pretty dreams of mine Struggling between my teeth Like a cat I let you go free Only to drag you back home with me I know I might go crazy from love And probably I won't snap out of it But for now I hold myself back Just out of reach like a cat
And suddenly I feel the sun on me Born to strange sight Still i make it through the night And suddenly I'm in a sea of honey pouring down on me And I won't be the freak When I come clean
In the golden mean In the golden mean Deep from my heart I know it I feel it i'm about To finally to start moving clearing cleaning the bad luck out But for now i hold myself back
And suddenly I feel the sun on me Born to strange sight Still I make it through the night And suddenly I'm in a sea of honey pouring down on me Won't it be a scream When I come clean
In the golden mean It starts here I hear the voice calling strong and clear Calling me forward and it starts here And i'm not afraid
Hey, what i meant to say Let's get lost and find our way And chance might shine on us, today
We fight we win we fight we lose we fight We get lost and call it a night Our mouths will tire before our devils do There's a promise hidden in my blood In the name of everything I love
I will draw the crescent down And set it in your crown
Remember what you said Better to run than play dead Here's our chance to prove it Let's just do it I have a dream and we are looking back and laughing And there's a promise hidden in my blood In the name of everything I love I will draw the crescent down And set it in your crown
Honey won't you let yourself speak free Honey won't you let yourself speak freely 'Cause you're scaring me now You're scaring me
Everything is pouring out of me now I spread my hands to catch it but there's too much and there it goes And we thought we'd fool them all We thought we'd fool them all And ha ha ha But there's too much and there it goes
And I can't stop the fallout After all
Honey I want you I still want you I always do I always will Is that enough 'Cause here we go
And I can't stop the fallout And I can't stop the fallout After all
Will I be the stranger in your movie Is there a place for me in the patterns that glow on your skin and your clothes
Hold him Hold his thin frame in your arms When everything flows from his skin and his clothes
I'm flying so over it Silverfish line his pocket Silver quick he leaves (I don't want to know about your ill-fated love affair)
Flying so over it Flying so over your head
Hold him in your arms when everything glows on his skin I've been much stranger I've watched you from afar Now everything shows on my skin and my clothes
I'm flying so over it Silverfish line his pocket Silver quick he leaves (I don't want to hear about your poorly-timed rock career)
Flying so over it Flying so over your head ...
Silverfish line his pocket Silver quick he leaves Silverfish line his pocket Silver quick he leaves (I don't want to hear about your poorly-timed rock career)
Where I live, there's a blanket of gauze and it covers the scars Of the drunks who are hungry as ever Where I live, There's a blanket of sighs and it covers the stars In my heart, I'm as hungry as ever This is the room where we met
Where I live, There's a lady who walks everywhere on her hands Doesn't trust where her feet want to take her
Where I live, There's this lady who walks everywhere on her hands She don't trust where her feet want to take her
(not in here) This is the room where we met (not in here) This is the dress I had on This is not the moment you fear When you wake up and no one is there
Low hangs the moon (oh oh) Inside this room Low hangs the moon (oh oh) Inside this room
So that I'm a witness when you Judas my heart Judas my heart
Where I live, There's a blanket of sighs and it covers the stars In my heart, I'm as hungry as ever
Where I live, I'm afraid that I walk everywhere on my hands I don't trust where my feet want to take me
(not in here) This is the room where we met (not in here) This is the dress I had on This is not the moment I fear I say "I" instead of "she" now you're here
Low hangs the moon (oh oh) Inside this room Low hangs the moon (oh oh) Inside this room
So that I'm a witness when you Judas my heart Judas my heart Judas my heart Judas my heart
Can I get a witness when you Judas my heart again? Can I get a witness when you do this to my heart again? Can I get a witness when you Judas my heart again?
Where I live there's a lady who walks everywhere on her hands Just like me doesn't trust where her feet want to take her again and her feet want to take her again and her feet want to take her... again
I wasn't there But I heard there were flowers in his hair Though not yet born to her, I hear there was something magic about the way she held her own I know it's hard for the young ones I know it Acutely, I heard it
Race me through this heart-broken town Bang your boots and keep your head down Race me through the heart of this broken town
I use the voices of sandmen To bring you home I know it's wrong, you're a young one I know it Acutely, I hear it
Race me through this heart-broken town Bang your boots and keep your head down Race me through the heart of this broken town
Now I make you pray Now I make you pray like there's a God Till you see it my way See it my way
Think about dixie She ducked when she ran Made up these bad reasons to stand by her man (he goes) Miss the vein once Try try again I swear (I just went) my my your dress says so sad
Give it to me please I said to God It's only fair Instead, he sent three Angels To move the river So now it flows by my house So now it goes by my house
Angel. Angel. I'd still rather have the moon
I've had bad dreams So bad I threw my pillow away Move the river So now it flows by my house So now it goes by my house
Baby's playing dead in cellar. Gave her water just got paler. Grass stains, backburns, she's a screamer. She's just dusted, leave her. If you see her, don't upset her. Never seems to get much better. Grass stains, backburns, she's a screamer. She's just dusted leave her. Mmm mmm, goes to your heart. Mmm mmm, sticks in your head. Mmm mmm mmm mmm, yeah. Baby's playing dead in cellar. Gave her water, she got paler. Grass stains, backburns, she's a screamer. She's just dusted, leave her.
So you go to leave More room for me. Oooo... you gave me too much room, So I filled it up with chairs, You can't sit on, But if you want to stand there, Stand there. Oooo... you told me too much. You thought I would leave you. I heard every word X3 So you go, and it all grows darker Like these chairs, These eyes, This room Closes it's windows. These chairs, These eyes, This room, This heart. I heard every word X3
So he's lying on top again Just like Gepetto and his doll. And he's running around again, And I can't get him out of this house. And if you bore him, You lose your soul to me. So that kid from the bad home Came over to my house again, Decapitated all my dolls. And if you bore me, You lose your soul to me. Hey Gepetto, Where'd you put it? Oh Gepetto, poor boy. Hey Gepetto, where'd you put it? Oh Gepetto, poor boy. And if you bore him, You're gonna lose your soul. Hey Gepetto, where'd you get to? Oh Gepetto, poor boy. Hey Gepetto, where'd you get to? Oh Gepetto, poor boy. Hey Gepetto, what'd you get me? Oh Gepetto, poor boy. So he's lying on top again, Just like Gepetto.
You're not safe In this house. You're not safe. Here, here, In some witch's bed, In some witch's bed. You know the one. She lies all lit up. She lies all lit up. She lies all lit up. You're not safe In this house.
