Fear of Heights

Fear of Heights
I took you to a bridge
But you had a fear of heights
So you told me to leave
And I wanted to cry
What’s in the sky?
You said “The moon baby!”
What’s on your mind?
You said “You baby!”
Never mind my fear of heights
Never mind my fear of heights
You said you’d love me
If I was dressed in white
When I showed up in black
You felt abandoned all night
What’s in the sky?
You said, “The moon baby!”
What’s on your mind?
You said, “You baby.”
Never mind my fear of heights
Never mind my fear of heights
We’re naked and hidden
And alone every night
We couldn’t touch
So our fingers said goodbye
What’s in the sky?
You said, “The moon baby!”
What’s on your mind?
You said, “You baby!”
Never mind my fear of heights
Never mind my fear of heights
Never mind my fear of heights

Party

Party
The Chauffeur comes for you at midnight
Takes you to the party
And vanishes from sight
The hostess is an automated machine
And it’s the best party you’ve ever seen
Swimming pools, disco lights, cocaine
Empty rooms, plastic flowers, champagne
Your friends won’t ask you where you’ve been
It’s the best party you’ve ever seen
The living mingle with the dead
Or you can lie down to sleep instead
If you dream too long,
You’ll be crowned a queen
It’s the best party you’ve ever seen
Seems like years since you had so much fun
Seems so long since you left home without a gun
You waited too long, and you’ve been living clean
It’s the best party you’ve ever seen
The carpet turns from red to white
The chauffeur gives you back your life
You see the past through a TV screen
It’s the best party you’ve ever seen

Marjory
On the brink of jealousy
I see you and you see me
The look from you I can’t forget
Sucking on your cigarette
Amnesia in lips and tongue
Tell me Margie where I went wrong
You look so good in the fluorescent light
Can I take you home tonight?
I don’t think I’ll ever sleep
Until I take you home with me
Marjory, Marjory
My head spins, my dreams slip
My shoes are gone,
My coat is ripped
If I could only touch you hair
If I could only see you naked there
If I could touch and not just dream
I might dance and I might scream
You look so good in the disco lights
Can I take you home tonight?
I don’t think I’ll ever sleep
Until I take you home with me
Marjory, Marjory
When I don’t see you for a while
You change your hair,
You change your style
Give me a drag of your cigarette
I’ll give you one from before we met
Why can’t I ever learn?
Another night I toss and turn
Every morning I see the sun rise
I’d rather be looking in your eyes
Can I take you home with me?
Can I take you home with me?
Marjory, Marjory

Safe to Sleep

Safe to Sleep
She was emancipated and young
Doomed to crawl on the floor
Looking for coins
She smelled like the blood of the moon
The blood of the moon
If she won’t come back
No, she won’t come back
She was the dedication to salvation
Doomed to never love
No, to never love
She shone like the light of the muse
The light of the muse
If she won’t come back
No, she won’t come back
I see a scar on her wrist
And nowhere safe to sleep
Nowhere safe to sleep
She danced with the shades in my head
The shades in my head
If she won’t come back
No, she won’t come back

Lucky Break
Tell me a secret,
Tell me a lie,
Blow smoke rings over my watery eyes
Whatever I did to you,
I promised that I would never do
Part my hair with the tip of your tongue
I’ll miss you when you’re gone
What can we do when what’s done is done?
I don’t watch TV, so tell me the news
Tell me you love me, I don’t’ have to believe you
Credit comes where credit’s due
I wouldn’t have made it if it wasn’t’ for you
You’re hungry and there’s nothing to eat
So walk on my back with your dainty feet
What can we do when what’s done is done?
No one sees
When I kiss your lips
Now my lips are sealed
But my tongue might have slipped
Tell me a secret, tell me a lie
Blow smoke rings over my bloodshot eyes
You’re the impossible,
I’m the hard-to-find
Don’t you like it
When I speak my mind?
Thanks for the money
That’s all I’ll take
Thanks for the cigar and the lucky break

Good Intentions
You’re so fortunate
That I’m going wait
That’s all right
How long will it take?
Yeah, that’s all right,
How long will it take?
Yeah, yeah, yeah come on!
Weren’t you going to tell me how long?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I’m gone
Aren’t you going to kill me?
Come on!
Bathed in good intentions
And all the things that don’t add up
Don’t you miss it, don’t you miss it,
Don’t you miss it, don’t miss it?
Won’t you change the borderline?
Yeah, yeah, yeah come on!
Weren’t you going to tell me I’m wrong?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I’m gone
Aren’t you going to kill me?
Come on!
Sorry to say
But I got bad news
If you stay here
You’ll be buried here
Yeah, yeah, yeah come on!
Weren’t you going to tell me how long?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I’m gone
Aren’t you going to kill me?
Come on!
Here are the keys
To your prison cell
And all the things that don’t add up
So fall in love, fall in love
Yeah, yeah, yeah come on!
Weren’t you going to tell me I’m wrong?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I’m gone
Aren’t you going to kill me?
Come on!

The Concave Convecular Contraption
I look like you,
You can count on me
You don’t have to steal
I’ll give it for free
Don’t wash your body
Just for me
Don’t let me undo
Your misery
Pride tastes good
And so does revenge
Sobriety is good
Let’s go on a binge
If I could be you
And you’d look like me
We’d be one-of-a-kind
Public property
Two cats who share the same face
A mirror that waits for an embrace
Do you need a witness,
Or will you leave it to fate?
Come forward now,
Before it’s too late
Looters comes
With lynch mobs
Unemployment come
With too many jobs
Look at my face
Can you guess my age?
Let me calm your anger
With my rage
When your dreams die,
Take the time to grieve
Come to visit me
And never leave
I look like you,
You look like me
Don’t tie me up,
Just let me be
Are you ready for love?

SECRETS
Hey are you lost my child
Sorry I forgot your name
Don’t forget to bring the rent
When you come around again
Well did I say
Something you should know?
You’ll never confide
In me anymore
Hey, don’t panic my son
If there’s nothing left for you
You’ll know as soon as I’m gone
I did my best, it’s true
Well have you seen
What happened to my friend Joe?
He’ll never confide
In me anymore
Hey I woke up today
Missing all desire
But guilty I don’t feel
Not for opening my eyes
What have you done
That I should know?
You’ll never confide
In me anymore

Lose Me Now
Be patient
The chance is coming again
Don’t you love to wait?
Don’t you have the time?
Can’t you bury me?
Would you even try?
I feel rage
Like someone’s kicking me
I turn around
But there’s no-one there
I wanna fade,
Vanish in the air and be free
Grab the nearest cage
Draw the best, then lose
Can’t count on me
At least not all the way
Have you been to war,
Or did you stay at home?
I feel rage
Like someone’s kicking me
I turn around
But there’s no-one there
I wanna fade,
Vanish in the air and be free
Lose me now
But don’t try again
Pretend you’re good
Is that what you deserve?
You can’t surrender
After you’ve given in
I feel rage
Like someone’s kicking me
I turn around
But there’s no-one there
I wanna fade,
Vanish in the air and be free

NEGATIVE SPACE
Thanks for the applause
That affects the cause
I look for your face
Lost in negative space
Baby, can I hear you sing?
I long for everything
A little change would be nice
To live without your advice
Buying endlessly
‘til there’s nothing left of me
I struggle to perceive
What exactly you need from me
When it comes down to you
Tell me what to do
Thinking is a curse
Every summer in reverse
Untouched by love or light
I watched you all night
You won’t break or bend
You were never my friend
I have no reason to hide
‘cause I’m on the losing side
Army boots on my feet
Marching to defeat
Baby, you came too late
You missed me meet my fate
When it comes down to you
Tell me what to do

Putting Me Down
Gonna get you,
Gonna get you,
Gonna get you,
Gonna get you finally
‘Cause you’ve been putting me down
Putting me down
Putting me down
Putting me down
Every day of my life
Every single day
Of my life
Day, day, day, day of my life
You’ve been putting me down
Putting me down
Putting me down
Putting me down
Every day of my life
Every single day
Of my life
Day, day, day, day of my life
Your despotic ring
Of jealousy
Your despotic ring
Of jealousy
Always finding ways to provoke me
Your despotic ring of jealousy
always finding ways of provoking me
Gonna get you, get you, get you finally
Gonna get you, get you, get you finally
You put me down, put me down, put me down, put me
You put me down, put me down, put me down, put me
You put me down, put me down, put me down, put me
You put me down, put me down, put me down, put me
Down, down, down, down, down, Down,
