| The most tender place in my heart is for strangers. I know it's unkind, but my own blood is much too dangerous, Hanging round the ceiling half the time, Hanging round the ceiling half the time. Compared to some I've been around, But I really tried so hard, That echo chorus lied to me with its "Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on." In the end I was the mean girl Or somebody's in-between girl, Now it's the devil I love, And that's as funny as real love. I leave the party at 3 a.m. Alone, thank God, With a Valium from the bride, It's the devil I love. It's the devil I love, And that's as funny as real love, And that's as real as true love. That echo chorus lied to me with its "Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on." That echo chorus lied to me with its "Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on." | | |
| My love, I am the speed of sound, I left them motherless, fatherless, Their souls dangling inside-out from their mouths, But it's never enough
I want you...
Carved your name across three counties, Ground it in with bloody hides, Their broken necks will line the ditch 'Til you stop it stop it stop it stop it stop this madness
I want you...
I have waited with a glacier's patience, Smashed every transformer with every trailer 'Til nothing was standing, Sixty-five miles wide
Still you are nowhere, Still you are nowhere, Nowhere in sight
Come out to meet me, Run out to meet me, Come into the light
Climb the boxcars to the engine Through the smoke into the sky, Your rails have always outrun mine So I picked them up and crashed them down In a moment close to now Cause I miss I miss I miss I miss I miss I miss I miss I miss How you'd sigh yourself to sleep When I'd rake the springtime Across your sheets
My love, I am the speed of sound, I left them motherless, fatherless, Their souls dangling inside-out from their mouths, But it's never enough
My love, I'm an owl on the sill in the evening But morning finds you still warm and breathing...
This tornado loves you This tornado loves you This tornado loves you This tornado loves you This tornado loves you
WHAT WILL MAKE YOU BELIEVE ME?
This tornado loves you This tornado loves you This tornado loves you This tornado loves you This tornado loves you
What will make you believe me?
.................................
Magpie comes a'calling, Drops a marble from the sky, Tin roof sounds alarming, Wake up child. "Let this be a warning," Says the magpie to the morning, "Don't let this fading summer pass you by, Don't let this fading summer pass you by"
Black hands held so high, The vulture wheels and dives, Something on the thermals yanked his chain, He smelled your boring apex Rotting on the train tracks, He laughed under his breath Because you thought that you could outrun sorrow, Take your own advice, Cause thundering and lightning gets you rain, You run an airtight mission, a Cousteau expedition To find a diamond at the bottom of the drain, A diamond at the bottom of the drain...
Mockingbird sings in the middle of the night, All his songs are stolen, so he hides. Stole the mouth of the whippoorwill, Screaming car alarms, He sings them for you special, He knows you're afraid of the dark
Come on sorrow, take your own advice, Hide under the bed, turn out the light Stars this night in the sky are ringing out, You can almost hear them saying, "Close your eyes now, kid, Close your eyes now, kid." Morning's teeth are lit, They are waiting, Waiting
They are waiting... | | |
| I really don't have anything to say. Or rather anything I'd like to say. This is going to be hypocritical, but I find that many things are that way. I think that words are overused. People say that humans are SO GREAT because they have developed such sophisticated forms of communication, but look at us. We have come to rely on language and words so much that we can't go without using them. And sure, they are great for many things, but you should never think you know someone just because they have told you everything and you talk all the time. To really know someone, you have to communicate without words. And once you really know someone, you should not have to use words to understand them. And if you don't understand them that way, then even if they try to use words to explain it, you still won't understand. They are too inhibiting and limited no matter how many you create to try to describe things. And if you read them on the surface, you can be lied to. But if you look into them, you can misinterpret. There has to be a knowledge, an understanding, on a much deeper level for a real relationship. But because we rely on words so much, we have such a difficult time understanding anything else. Words are cheap. | | |
| You were romeo, I was a scarlet letter, and my daddy said stay away from juliet but you were everything to me, I was begging you please don't go and I said...
