Spy Song One

Cold long drawn out passages
Dark grey suits and ties
Rash indecisive minds, calling:
Are you sure you hired the right guy to do the job?
I wonder sometimes, I wish I could

Take your head off at five hundred yards
With you by my side, I wish, I wish that I could fly

Your body is cold mine’s warm with blood
Your face looks dead in the pale moonlight

I’ve been waiting so long
To be free from this manipulation
I’ve been waiting so long
To be free from this paranoia that plagues me

All the Time in the World

She wades the lakes by night looking for her eyes
And smiles like angels do, when they die in flight

But I have all the time in the world

She floats like an ancient queen, forgotten in our time
She smokes like an old machine, burning in the night

But I have all the time in the world

Yellow daffodils by the side of the road
Where we used to walk, where we used to talk
White carnations in the vase on the table
Where we used to eat, where we used to laugh
Crushed rose petals were thrown across the floor
Where we used to dance, where we romanced

But I have all the time in the world

Lovers Shouldn’t Die (Susan)

The moon is on the hills tonight, You look like love’s delight
The falling rain is days away, like yesterday’s hidden shame
And we are making our way through the fields of corn
Like crows hunting until dawn

Now I have you by my side, as happiness you are disguised
With secrets hiding in your mind, exposed by the moonlight in your eyes

Susan, y’know everyone can dance
Susan, y’know that nothing’s left to chance
Everybody dances alone, with passion in their eyes
Everybody dances alone, and lovers shouldn’t die

We waited, but We waited too long
Our ships passed in the night alone without a boarding call
Your life fades, Like stars in a blue sky
Motions repeat, but lovers shouldn’t die

No, no

Susan, y’know everyone can dance
Susan, y’know that nothing’s left to chance
Susan, y’know on day we will die
Susan, y’know that we’ve run out of time
Everybody dances alone, with passion in their eyes
Everybody dances alone, and lovers shouldn’t die

The Death of a Meaningful Relationship

The trees are blurred, the darkness bold
Cars rush by, empty eyes of ghosts
The heat blasts down the winter cold
I’m breaking open in my capsule
As I flee from you

I chase my thoughts into dark rooms
Your voice sings there, eyes a ghostly blue
Winter hands share your warm perfume
I’m breaking down in my capsule
As I run from you

I can’t breathe when I’m alone
But I can’t breathe when I’m with you
The memories are burnt onto my heart like stone
If only the darkness would take you
The sun will rise into the blue
You’re still waiting but I’m not with you
Broken like a flowering vase
Your memory haunts me late at night

It’s the death of a meaningful relationship

With you

Folly

When you fall deeper in love do you stop crying?
Does the darkness flee, the fear run away, do you stop needing?

Caresses and kisses shared, late at night
Hoping for a rainbow, but finding a star

That’s where I thought, you would be, in a star

She awakes, and my day transforms
Broken dreams, are renewed, are restored

She’s the air I breathe; She’s the water I drink
She’s the bread I eat; She’s the blood I bleed
It’s the song you sing; it’s the words you speak
It’s the lie you believe; it’s the power you seek

And when all is said and done, you’re on an island all on your own
Waiting for a rescue ship, to bring you peace, love, and your pills

She awakes, and my day transforms

Bridge by the Lake

There’s a bridge by the lake, where I’ll meet you tonight
And the plans they made to hate; will come to light
But come on your own, there is reason to fear
They’re watching us from a boat, just off shore

Ooh… I swear, I’ve seen your face
Ooh… I swear, I know your name
What does it matter? We’re all gonna die soon

Don’t break, it’s a big mistake
Don’t breathe out, when your heart wants to

Doubt, Don’t Doubt
When your heart wants to doubt
Don’t doubt, don’t doubt

There’s a bench in the park, where I’ll meet you after dark
And the plans we made to escape will come to light
But come on your own, there is reason to fear
They are watching us from a car across the road

Kids

Cold nights and dry days
We wandered far and were always late

And it was fine the way we used to be
With no complications, and no reservations

We trusted no one, we lost and broke our promises
We climbed the highest of walls,
And we fought the darkest of foes

And it was fine the way we used to be
With no complications, and no reservations

I’ve fallen, deeper in love now

Spy Song Two

Devilish eyes are watching me, through dark windows that line the street
I can’t stop I’m a man on the run
Dark cars line the road like, vicious dogs they growl and moan
I can’t stop I’m a man on the run

And the cold wind has become, a friend to my frozen back
And it’s colder on the dark side of the moon, when you’re a wanted man and you’re alone

Wake up
Wake up
You’re not alone

Oh, I wish I was, wearing camouflage
Then I could hide, with you by my side
Free me from the lies, I wish that I could fly

Your body is cold mine’s warm with blood
Your face looks dead in the pale moonlight

I’ve been waiting so long
To be free from this manipulation
I’ve been waiting so long
To be free from this paranoia that plagues me

Shattered Glass

Crossed eyes, look straight through, a beautiful mask
Do you see the truth? How could I know you walk with the heart of a thief?

Your quivering lips, and your quiet moans, you say you bring your heart
How do I know, how do you know I won’t cut you deep?

Cut you deep

And you sell yourself short, but you don’t make me ask for more
And you kill all you love but you don’t want to wield the sword

Wield the sword

Shattered glass like islands will remain
Shattered glass like islands in the sun

Walker

When I find myself in a mess the need comes like rain
I turn to a deliverer that can only bring pain
Inverted like a mirror, it shows me its ways
That lead to destruction, with a debt to pay

Stay with me tonight

Hurt flows like river deep from our hearts
We’re here together but we’re so far apart
I’ve failed you so many times, I’ve lost myself
I’ve given my treasure to a heart shaped box

Stay with me tonight

There’s a cold that won’t go away
It gently pulls until hearts start to fray

Stay with me tonight

Playing Possum

Down by the water’s edge, we let our hearts entwine
Lost in each other’s melody, we drifted out to sea
I could not calm myself, you would not feed my illusions
I will not take you out to sea, like you did to me

You took me into the water
You swam away to let me to drown
The sky burned blue above me
As water flooded my lungs

Under the breaking waves, you would not yield your innocence
We lost our faith and gave into fear, down by the pier
You could not believe your eyes, I would not keep my promises
I couldn’t tighten the noose and swing, you from a tree

Don’t let me go, leave me behind, I don’t know why
I’m left alone, in the tide, slipping away, into the night
Don’t let me go, leave me behind, I don’t know why
I’m left alone, with this man, and his cold eyes, he’s gonna try…

Breathe

Believe, believe so you won’t die
Breathe but don’t cry
And keep all my promises,
For another day
Don’t fear the pain, and don’t fear the hate
I will rescue you

I’ll rain down on you
With Love

Dream, dream but don’t fall asleep
Run but don’t hide
Cast all your fear away
Rise from the grave
Don’t fear the pain, and don’t fear the hate
I will rescue you

I’ll rain down on you
With Love

I’ll rain down with Love
