I Believe In You

Like, like the night that never ends
Like a wave of cold fever
Like a shiver down my spine
Oh I believe in you
Whatever you are
Oh I believe in you
Whatever you are
Oh I believe in you
Like, like a message on the breeze
Like a signal from the tower
Like a memo from the man
Oh I believe in you
Whatever you are
Oh I believe in you
Whatever you are
Oh I believe in you
Like, like a bulletin to heart
Like the laughter in heaven
Like a telegraph from god
Oh I believe in you
Whatever you are
Oh I believe in you
Whatever you are
Oh I believe in you
Like, like the flutter of a wing
Like the defeat of a king
Tear falling from the past
Oh I believe in you
Like an extraordinary force
Like a temple to your ghost
As you’re raised up from the dead
Oh I believe in you
Like, like a sea of falling stars
Like a sky of silver birds
Like a carnival of souls
Oh I believe in you
Like a perfect euphony
Like a kiss from the spider
Like the magic that’s in me
Oh I believe in you
Like, like the orchestra on fire
Like a distant explosion
Like a jubilee of flame
Oh I believe in you
Like, like the dawning of an age
Like the birth of an idea
Like a thought kissed into life
Oh I believe in you
Like a vortex of blue and green
Like an exquisite machine
From unimagined world to come
Oh I believe in you
Like a perfect euphony
Like a kiss from the spider
Like the magic that’s in me
Oh I believe in you

In Blood
04:56
|

Our world of play
Our words in blood
Cross from the page today
And ride the waves
Through northern skies
Are hypnotized away
In blood, and you best not miss
We don’t want to hang for this
In blood, and you best not miss
We don’t want to hang for this
Our books in blood
Close to the flame
Zero sum games to us
Dance through the beams
Onto the road
And still we make it home
In blood, and you best not miss
We don’t want to hang for this
In blood, and you best not miss
We don’t want to hang for this
And every time that we fall
And every time that we cry
And every time that we’re caught we win
In blood, and you best not miss
We don’t want to hang for this
In blood, and you best not miss
We don’t want to hang for this
In blood, and you best not miss
We don’t want to hang for this
In blood, and you best not miss
We don’t want to hang for this

Kingdom Undersea
04:46
|

So why don’t you come with me
To a kingdom undersea
Come find me, come find me
Where the metal spires the tower
And the rhododendrons flower
Come find me, come find me
Walls of marble, limbs of steel
We built it alone
A kingdom undersea
Submerged in me
That we’d call home
I was laughing when you said
All of your heroes are dead
You scare me, you scare me
‘Cause you don’t know what mine did
Nor behind whom others hid
Believe me, believe me
Walls of marble, limbs of steel
We built it alone
A kingdom undersea
Submerged in me
That we’d call home
(Ever since we sailed)
Walls of marble, limbs of steel
(I have been waiting in the distance between waves)
We built it alone
(Waves)
(Surfacing where fortune follows frozen fire)
A kingdom undersea
Submerged in me
(Expecting to be saved)
That we’d call home
So why don’t you come with me
To a kingdom undersea
Come find me, come find me
Where the metal spires they tower
And the rhododendrons flower
Come find me, come find me
Walls of marble, limbs of steel
We built it alone
A kingdom undersea
Submerged in me
That we’d call home
Walls of marble, limbs of steel
We built it alone
A kingdom undersea
Submerged in me
That we’d call home

I See Red
03:50
|
|||
|
I feel it in my blood
And I know what it means
A tempest which arrives
And occupies your dreams
For money can’t be bought
Neither learned nor taught
Today it’s in our heads
Tomorrow we see red
Eyes have seen the future
I have watched the rest
Acts played out before us
Curse with which we’re blessed
This road we walk together
Cuts through a world undressed
Oh I see red
I feel it in my blood
And I know what it does
When someone enters scene
From memory because
For money can’t be bought
Neither learned nor taught
It may be in your head
Oh I see I see red
Eyes have seen the future
I have watched the rest
All played out before us
Curse with which we’re blessed
This road we walk together
Cuts through a world undressed
Oh I see red
I see red
I see red
I see red
I see red

A Death in London
04:44
|
|||
|
A London through foreign eyes
Here the street names deceive
A place that persists and no longer exists
Slaves to the sun, we become one
For a little death in London, death in London
Some strays in the sun, we become one
For a little death in London, a death in London
Amatory machines liquify in the park
Meet the dog day debris burning out in the dark
And those virtuous hearts are left holding the flowers
The sensations of love, I guess we’re falling in luck
Slaves to the sun, we become one
For a little death in London, death in London
Some strays in the sun, we become one
For a little death in London, a death in London
No faith left to perspire, no priest with whom to confess
I hear Kings Cross is on fire, London fields is a mess
This is no day to be out, this ain’t nowhere to be seen
A place where dreams go to die
I’m glad you met me alive
Slaves to the sun, we become one
For a little death in London, death in London
Some strays in the sun, we become one
For a little death in London, a death in London

Secret Dreams of Thieves
04:13
|

|
Hearts of fire
Skate thin ice
Whispers light up the sky
Hearts of fire
Don’t think twice
Soulmates in paradise
Hearts lost in the night
Hearts taking flight
Hearts beat in the night
Hearts taking flight
Hearts of fire
Melt thin ice
Crystals snap
Waters rise
And they seek
The secret life of reeds
Translucent leaves that breathe in the light of their eyes
And they dream
The secret dreams of thieves
Who ran so fast they seized the chance of their lives
Hearts of fire
Melt thin ice
Falling through
Paradise
Hand in hand
Sinking fast
Halloween sugar dream
And they seek
The secret life of reeds
Translucent leaves that breathe in the light of their eyes
And they dream
The secret dreams of thieves
Who ran so fast they seized the chance of their lives
For their heist
So perfectly conceived
Transcendent love that feeds egos in the night
And they dream
The secret dreams of thieves
Who ran so fast they seized the chance of their lives

Sing

The nights were long
Bled into day
An endless test
A hopeless state
The nights were long
Bled into day
And I was blessed
Oh, I was blessed
How I was wrong
Only we know
But I was blessed
Oh, I was blessed
The nights were long
Bled into day
An endless test
Oh, I was blessed
Sing, darling sing
All is done
Let the boundaries be gone
I know, I know, you'll be ok
Sing darling, sing
Rain and fire
Earth and roots will bind us now
Pendicle, where the owls fly
Sing darling, sing
Clouds on high
Hills and glens that frame our sky
Blossoming under a canopy of stars
Sing darling sing
All is done
Let the boundaries be gone
I know, I know, you'll be ok

A morning alone you head for the train
This time unsure if returning again
The classifieds dissolve on the way
Anaesthetised with nowhere to stay
And this is how you find yourself
The city lights are drawing you south
How cruel a thing to feel like you’ve won
With the cruellest thing that you’ve ever done done done
Free to make yourself complete
Free to get back on your feet
Free for knowing who you are
Free to live the life you want
Free you’re no longer a child
Free this is where you are
Free don’t listen to your heart
Free, free
It’s ok, nobody died
Except for the ghost that you left behind
How cruel a thing to feel like you’ve won
With the cruellest thing that you’ve ever done done done
Free to make yourself complete
Free to get back on your feet
Free for knowing who you are
Free to live the life you want
Free you’re no longer a child
Free this is where you are
Free for never looking back
Free, free
Don’t listen to your heart
Free, free

Sweet telepathy is our weaponry
Love is a cipher

Daylight fades across the arcade
Caught in the blink of an eye
Sunburned stray in the headlamp glare
Ghostwriters of their lives
We appear and we disappear
Caught in the blink of an eye
Say goodbye and return to stone
Caught in the blink of an eye
Moment’s gaze, seconds, hours days
Which weave our strays together
They always knew and they always were
And would remain like this forever
We appear and we disappear
Caught in the blink of an eye
Say goodbye and return to stone
Caught in the blink of an eye
We appear and we disappear
Caught in the blink of an eye
Say goodbye and return to stone
Caught in the blink of an eye
We appear and we disappear
Caught in the blink of an eye
Say goodbye and return to stone
Caught in the blink of an eye
We appear and we disappear
Caught in the blink of an eye
Say goodbye and return to stone
Caught in the blink of an eye
We are caught in the blink of an eye
We are caught in the blink of an eye
We are caught in the blink of an eye
We are caught in the blink of an eye

Evergreen, while the sunlight stings
Evergreen-green oh oh oh
Take my hand for a one-night stand
As the dial slows to a stop
Evergreen, while the sunlight stings
Evergreen-green oh oh oh
Evergreen, while it means something
Evergreen-green oh oh oh
As the clock ceases to turn
Thought and day end where they start
Holding hands in magnetic storms
As the cigarette burns to a stub
Evergreen, while the sunlight stings
Evergreen-green oh oh oh
Evergreen, while it means something
Evergreen-green oh oh oh
Holding hands in magnetic storms
As the dial slows to a stop
Evergreen, while the sunlight stings
Evergreen-green oh oh oh
Evergreen, while it means something
Evergreen-green oh oh oh
Evergreen, while the sunlight stings
Evergreen-green oh oh oh
Evergreen, while it means something
Evergreen-green oh oh oh
Evergreen, while the sunlight stings
Evergreen-green oh oh oh
Evergreen, while it means something
Evergreen-green oh oh oh
You’ll be gone, and I’ll go on
You’ll be gone-gone, you’ll be gone
You’ll be gone, and I’ll go on
You’ll be gone-gone, you’ll be gone

Ordinary Love
04:28
|
|||
|
The stars in my eyes, they sing to me
Carefree and sure, naive and warm
Melody blinded by beauty and pain
I met you on the shore of a different time, a different tide
And now you're there, you're always there
And I'm not the same
I am the villain
I want more ordinary love
We're almost there, I'm almost there
Letting go of the blame
Temptation is a weapon not a cure
An exercise in ordinary love
Excuse my failure, I'm not that girl
Who blew your mind but slowly lost the war
The dusk of my dreams, they plague my sleep
Whispering like I've done something wrong
Erasure impossible to save
An accidental age
Left the world behind, the world behind
And now you're there, you're always there
And i'm not the same, I am
Temptation is a weapon not a cure
An exercise in ordinary love
Excuse my failure, I'm not that girl
Who blew your mind but slowly lost the war

We wrote our names in the dust
No one knew what would become of us
A windshield across the road
Almost like a primitive code
We drew our signs in the sand
On the shores of another land
We burned a hole through to glass
A souvenir for the journey back
We returned in the dark
To the place where we left the car
We wrote our names in the dust
And no one knew what would become of us
We wrote our names in the dust
Our names in the dust
We wrote our names in the dust
Our names in the dust
We wrote our names in the dust
Our names in the dust
We wrote our names in the dust
Our names in the dust

Sing me your favourite bar song
We will dance again with Desiderata
We were making plans forever and ever
Footsteps in the sand
Hiding we take a peek quietly
We will dance again removed from reality
We were making friends forever and ever
Footsteps in the sand
Follow me let’s make a run for it
We will dance again with Desiderata
We can stand a chance or else we remain
Footsteps in the sand
Follow me let’s make a run for it
Footsteps in the sand
Leave darkness behind us
We are chasing light the ghouls can’t outrun is
We will dance again
Dance me out of town
Lay your pistols down
Dance me out of town
Make your bullets count
Dance me through the night
Dressed in solid light
Dance me out of sight
Dressed in solid light
We will dance again
We will dance again
We will dance again
We will dance again
We will dance again
We will dance again
We will dance again
We will dance again
We will dance again
We will dance again
We will dance again

For a Life in London
05:03
|
|||
|
Into the vacuum of transient space
You don’t know what you were supposed to find
Except more than means to pass the time
There is no time here, not anymore
Everything changes when you don’t take that train
Stars realign to the contours of terrain
Cards fall, chaos plays its hand
You learn to play piano, you go and join a band
New parameters are drawn like swords against the past
Through elysian fields soaked in possibility
A permanent summer invoked at will
And finally the greatest gift there is
Why give yourself away
Why give it all away
Why give yourself away
For a life in London
All for a life in London
All for a life in London
All for a life in London
All for a life in London

Sexy with a major "S". Gothic. Hipster. Cat-like, but catty as well. I love the interplay between the male-male vocalist and the fe-male singer: feels like heaven und earth. If you read/use the I Ching, you know what I mean. But seriously, this feels like a really sleek fashion show gone terribly awry: think of a Hugo Boss exhibition suddenly morphing into the 80s classic nuclear porn "Threads". I can't write any more.
