Button Down Shirt

When she walked in the room
You knew what to do
All nervous, unnerved
Yes it’s yours for the take
No hesitate
The cups made you brave
Because you’re trying too hard to denounce it
The bold in your brain makes you flounce it
And soon you’re walking away
With no goodbye
And all in time
You’ll stall and pine
She’ll wait, that’s fine
Erase, entwine
You can’t believe a word
But worlds crash with every sigh
You temporarily collide in half time
The feelings that you feel, are they real?
All flash and no zeal
Are they real at all?
She said she liked your button down shirt
Just before she grabbed you
And shoved you in the dirt
A cut so deep it doesn’t hurt
A bottle full of wonder
And wonderful
She said she knew you before you were older
And all in time
You’ll stall and pine
She’ll wait, that’s fine
Erase, entwine

Poetry in motion
I fell in love, shit it's
Brand new weather here tonight
I listen to you dream
In memories of sleep
I was making up my mind
And did you find flowers anywhere?
I left them underneath your stairs
Spent all of my hours in despair
And then, then I wasn't there
I'm sorry love
Oh you know we'll make it
He was hers by a
Needle's eye, was that
Hand an offer in the night
You did your best to leave
When the chains released
Because your neck's on the line, all the time
But there's a maze left from
Yesterday, I know that
The past is just my life
The music plays when you
Tempt the fates, will we...
Oh will we all survive?
I'm sorry love
I'll miss your face when I'm gone

Truth called, can love kill?
I want a noose still / I'm under your spell
Us sinking under
A ship set to sunder
But here’s an answer for you
It isn’t tough
We can get along if
You give up
You are a frozen mystery
No matter where you are
Too used to taking what you need
Can I go way back when?
You are a frozen mystery
Just runnin’ away from mine
Too used to taking what you need
You say it’s nothing
Well it’s not enough then
Losers are never made
From fast cars with bad brakes
I call you up to meet
It doesn’t really matter does it?
Cause you’ll look and you’ll know
To hang up
You are a frozen mystery
I’m gonna wear you out
Too used to taking what you need
Oh won’t you please, please me
You are a frozen mystery
And you and I both know
Too used to taking what you need

Beat it babe
Girl you've gotta
Get away
No, I'm not alone
I'm late
No early morning
Twist of fate
You know she'll make you scream
And you've pressed your luck
With her arms around your thighs
You know she'll make you scream
And you're undressed, untucked, at her six o'clock
With your conscience next to nine
Oh behave
Girl you've gotta
Get your strange
Yeah you wanna
Do some things
Don't be long and
Leave your ring
You know she'll make you scream
And so you dodge and duck
But you know you'll have to lie

Morrows
03:53
|

|
Stealing pieces of all my time
The strands wend, wander, but won’t unwind
Come, come closer to me
It pulls you under into arrest
Dull invitations careen and caress
Come, come closer to me
Ruminations in red and rouge
Machinations you can’t refuse
Come, come closer to me
Secrets sent within every smile
Palpitations of wit and of wiles
Come, come closer to me
And we’re laughing again
And we’re laughing once again
At tonight’s morrows
At tonight’s morrows
Stuck on puzzles to say it right
There’s resisting try as you might
Come, come closer to me

"…Can I bum a cigarette?"
She asked you again
As little curls of smoke
Rose up in rings round your head
But no, no, not you
It's not nice to brag
When you're too quick to quit or have a drag
You're mister white smile
And white teeth too
You're rattled up and tongue tied
You Goodie Two Shoes
But you shoot straight from the hip
And kiss her hard on the lips
Then she says, "Really? Wanna go?"
And that's when everything explodes.
You owe tonight,
Tonight one.
Details though what happened next.
You found yourself in bed together
Tangled up in sweat
And who knows how the hell it's got this far
The last thing you remember is
A stumble from the bar
So your knees knock
To hell pitched screams
You barrel down the hall
But your feet can't compete
She's got you hook, line, and sinker
Head over heels
Thought maybe you'd forgotten
It's exactly how it feels.
But your brain barks
That you know better.
It's been two weeks now
But you'd still let her.
No from her you haven't heard a word
It's all alarms when she arrives
She grabs your coat and bats her eyes
Oh well, who knows?
When your friends are gone
And it's only her
And you give your all
But oh well, who knows?
Just a sing along
When you're all alone
For the final bout
She can bum a cigarette

Dark & Stormy

Breathing you, I'm lightning struck
An engine overfilling up
Hell bent and fit to fall in love
An end to the were and was
Your feet leave you behind you
In stabs of excitement
It's obscene and I know why
Too much to see to pry
No there's no sleep, but that's alright
The in-between is fine
Lost inside a love lined coat
You'll laugh once we're throat to throat
Is the truth smashed in
When you grin your grin?
It's obscene and I know why
Too much to see to pry
No there's no sleep, but that's alright
The in-between is fine
When all is said and done
You'll never get enough
Is leaving tough enough?
You'll always want some more
The writing's on the wall
You'll always want it all
The writing's on the wall

I’m stealing something for the next man
Honey I
Don’t know what to tell ya
When you’ve been running ‘round on both sides
I won’t wait around here
And I ain’t goin back, no
I know you’re headed for your next stand
Darlin’ I know
You can’t turn around twice
Not at the same time, no
I came to see you leave
But he’s already seen you go
You’re not mine
But it sure don’t feel that way
And I wrote:
I’m sorry I can’t, Et Al.
Picking shit to hit the next fan
Well girly I
I woke up to tell ya
There’re some things you can’t hide
Drop me off around here
Cause I ain’t coming back, no
You can tell him where I came
But it sure won’t make me stay
And I wrote:
I’m sorry I can’t, Et Al.

You're Not Entirely Sure

Falling over dominoes
You think you're something one of those
Wear it out upon your wrist
Another line another list
Crawling in and out of love
Never knowing, never was
A little girly gone to play
There’s bound to be a ricochet
Give me something
Give me something to love
How long until it comes to blows?
I’d like to have me one of those
Stilted sorries go to waste when the taste is disliked
Oh yes, she is the type with a bitter tongue
But the words get in the way on the page
And after the attention it’s the blade that you crave
Even if it’s got escape written neat
She’s still got you beat because you’re not entirely sure.
Give me something
Give me something to love

I went down to the corner store
And no it never felt part of me
I went out going door to door
And no one went out after me
Replay highlights
As we lay low in the night
Hanging round by the place we talk
Because I know you'll laugh at me
Headed South took a lonely walk
It won't be the last of me
Followed your eye lines
Watching that circus inside
Teasing my white lies
And picking the truth from the pile
When you've nowhere to run to
I'm forever yours
I know where to run to
I'm forever yours
I was bound to that golden shore
And no it never felt odd to me
I was drowned by the ocean's roar
And she came out there after me
Meeting bylines
So you and I can pass the time
Fleeting and frolicking wild,
Under starlit skies
When you've nowhere to run to
I'm forever yours
I know where to run to
I'm forever yours

See what he does
With his fingers
One little trick
It's all triggers
Trace silhouettes
Of your figure
Love in the guise
Of a killer
A saboteur
You were wrong before
Just a spectre
Of what was
Beguiler
You were wrong before
Just a spectre
Of what was
Nothing to lose
By a whisper
Oh but a kiss
Could convince her
No cigarettes
It's all cinders
Fire away
At the flicker
A saboteur
You were wrong before
Just a spectre
Of what was
Beguiler
You were wrong before
Just a spectre
Of what was
A saboteur
You were wrong before
Just a spectre
Of what was
Beguiler
You were wrong before
Just a spectre
Of what was
