afterglow

I’ve just been sitting around day dreaming 
Of sneaking into heaven on other peoples I.D’s  

I walk lonely in the city licking at last nights lips,
Like wounds that bleed the weekend. 
You stick on the backs of my lids like modelglue,
I’m snapping, I’ll lie; “I didn’t mean a word of it” 

You can’t break what bends
Open doors & limbs sprawled across the foot of the bed 
I really ought to leave I spat through perfect teeth; “you complicate me”

Palms read, but only got the foreword - just couldn’t connect 
I won’t mend so lampshade me from you 
Our eyes dance around at noon for whoever to warm 

You can’t break what bends
Open doors & limbs sprawled across the foot of the bed 
I really ought to leave I spat through perfect teeth; “you complicate me”

Ran down your neck like a staircase 
I sort of tripped and cracked my head in 
Shut, snap, photoproof, or I’d forget you my certified muse

You can’t break what bends
Open doors & limbs sprawled across the foot of the bed 
I really ought to leave I spat through perfect teeth; “you complicate me”

If I don’t wake in the morning 
Write “I never slept a night alone”
In arial on my headstone 
Recast me for my own parts 
I’m an atom off a star 
In the limelight sipping a Daiquiri
I need change (I need change)
Like a wishing well 
Maybe a miracle or two to bribe my way outta hell 
I need change (I need change)
Like a wishing well 
From the nightspot to the hotel singing; “don’t tell” 

My heart and head go out of sync
When you sing to me 
Oh, I’d crash heavens golden-gates
With a grin on my face

I need change
I need change 
I need change 

I need change
I need change 
I need change 
Do my head an Immeleman turn 
I need to spiral out 
To crash into myself again 

By noon I’ll go lunatic 
I’m sick, I’m sick
Wrapt up in her like a straight jacket  

I need change (I need change)
Like a wishing well 

I need change (I need change)
Like a wishing well 
Got that devil-dancing in my sole now 

My heart and head go out of sync
When you sing to me 
Oh, I’d crash heavens golden-gates
With a grin on my face

I need change
I need change 
I need change 

I need change
I need change 
I need change 

My baby habit crying through the monitor, “I’m done”
Our loves growing mold
I’m a butterfly turning back
Riddle me this riddle me that
It’s easy to see the world in new light when all you knows the dark.

 

We’re stuck on arms like track marks 
Hooded under the hum of lampposts 
You’re turning heads like a latch 
That stir boys like me from their sleep 
“On, on tiptoes peeking in on, on the high life 
‘Till the blinds pull in, Ill be fine” 
Check, check-check, check..
The madness came with a mic stand 
So gracefull, So gutless 
So gracefull, So gutless
Seems everybody’s got a dance to this beat 
Uhuh and tongues are drumming on the necks of..
Little baby, can you keep your composure?
Uhuh, I think I lost it on the lips of.. 
“I just need to start over” 
said like a sinner in shallow water
Seen pretty birds pick at the bones of bees singing; “dance with me”
Tuck me in before the charm wears off  
To bed with whoever just to get lost
I wanna be nothing more than something  
So gracefull, So gutless 
So gracefull, So gutless
Seems everybody’s got a dance to this beat 
Uhuh and tongues are drumming on the necks of..
Little baby, can you keep your composure?
Uhuh, I think I lost it on the lips of.. 

Give me a night worth forgetting with you. 
Swing the pendulum in front my head, so i don’t remember a thing
—whoa
You’re the prophet in the black book of the organized religion of me. 
Say you are a genius, but im the mad scientist of the chemicals that bend you. 
Permanently perplexed, [he] said like he could careless;
“The pills o.k. but baby make me feel new” 
Darling i got a dark side 
Maybe my moods change when the head spins 
Give me a night worth forgetting with you.
Darling i got a dark side
I’m the prototype of your dreams & the head spins
Give me a night worth forgetting with you 
I find happiness in knowing that each one of these moments is somebody’s last. 
Oh, how you’re just ghosts with unfinished business, 
Channeled by the mediums of our hips. 
—whoa
They say your tragedies written, that I got your wax wings sweating
That im your lover on knees..but it didn’t mean a thing
Permanently perplexed, [he] said like he could careless; 
“the pills o.k. but baby make me feel new” 
Darling i got a dark side 
Maybe my moods change when the head spins 
Give me a night worth forgetting with you.
Darling i got a dark side
I’m the prototype of your dreams & the head spins 
Give me a night worth forgetting with you 
Oh oh…
Testify like a lunatic; “anyone’s my asylum, i guess my heads still sick.” 
Uh-uh
Darling i got a dark side 
Maybe my moods change when the head spins 
Give me a night worth forgetting with you.
Darling i got a dark side
I’m the prototype of your dreams & the head spins 
Give me a night worth forgetting with you 
Give me a night worth forgetting with you
