House Of Cards
04:14
|

Living in a house of cards
Ducking and a diving
Weaving and a winding
Wheeling and a dealing
But you’ve never seen me
Spoken in the ancient tongue
Moving like a diamond, they’ll be none the wiser
But I’m always dreaming
Do it for the feeling
Though you’ll never find it
Stop it and rewind it
Spoken in the ancient tongue
Living in a house of cards
Don’t you know, don’t you know when you’ve won
Don’t you stop, don’t you stop till it’s done
But I could be the better fool than you
I could be the better fool than you
Baby, Baby, Baby
By the way it’s alright
To stay awake all night
That’s the way it’s always been
That’s the way it’s always been
Falling and a rising
Never compromising?
Spoken in the ancient tongue
Spoken in the ancient tongue
Living in a house of cards
Take what you will
Your hand’s already chosen
Play your cards right

Jackdaw

|
When you were sleeping
They’ll wake you up again
Back to the rat wheel
Enemies your best friend
They’ll knock you down then
They’ll build you up again
They’ll keep their secrets
And secrets keep them
Any time that you need it
I’ll be there to throw the towel
Any time that you want it
I’ll be there to wear the crown
Every time that you feel it
I’ll be there to hang around
Any time that you want it
I can re-arrange a frown
Don’t you ever want know why
Either way it’s got nothing to do with us
Don’t you ever want to go down
Memory Lane we got nothing to do
Don’t you ever want know why
Well either way it’s got nothing to do with us
Don’t you ever want to go down
Memory Lane we got nothing to do

My Third Eye
04:52
|
|||
|
Speak to me in secret code
People that lurk in shadow
I catch em right out the corner
of my third eye
I may not be inclined
To say I’ve been there,
Anyway…
Hush little darling I’m ready to go
Its all in the weight of the baby you hold
One door is open the other is closed
It may be that I’ve wished upon
way too many shooting stars
I catch them right out the corner
of my third eye
I may not be inclined
To stay forever, and a day
Anyway…
Hush little darling I’m ready to go
Its all in the weight of the baby you hold
One door is open the other is closed
In with the new and then out with the old

Rebel Of Your Dreams
03:46
|
|||
|
I’m the rebel of your dreams
Shock up my backbone a catapult pulling me back home
A chemical troops of freak shows brought up and drawn
To be caught up along with it, fucking with sound
We evolved deformed with it
The more I fight the more I struggle, I can’t stop it from getting in
Like a pump and a jump in a rush of adrenaline
So let them in, pace yourself, calm down, hold tight, relax and brace yourself
Cos’ I’m the rebel of your dreams
God knows there aint no limit, wanna take the soul out my body
And expose my spirit, when you’re living in the second of time and space
You’re face to face and can’t get enough of the sweet taste

Where I Wanna Be
05:10
|
|||
|
I remember how you wanted something
How you wanted to believe in something
Although I believe in nothing without you, my love
That’s where I wanna be
I remember how you needed something
How you wanted me to follow something
Although I would never go there without you, my love
That’s where I wanna be
You know you look so good without the make up and the clothes you wear
We could be living outside I guess that’s just the way it goes
But I never had much luck with the moments that all just seem to slip away like tears
There’s nothing left for us to feel
War in you
I remember how you wanted something
I remember how you needed something
AlthoughI have needed nothing without you, my love
That’s where I wanna be
There’s nothing more that I can feel

Air We Breathe
02:28
|
|||
|
Did you ever know, your love is like a mountain facing
And I can see for miles upon miles
And every now and then I get a little strange sensation
When I look into your eyes
The air we’re breathing and the air we’re breathing out
And the birds and bees and the flowers and trees and
Every now and then I get al little strange vibration
Running up the length of my spine
Well I wonder why the moon is setting my heart racing
I’m keeping you in mind

All My Money
04:38
|
|||
|
Well you know that the truth is ugly
When the lie is so beautiful
And they’re sprinkling all the sugar on it
Playing us all for fools
Well you never can tell for certain
And you never can know for sure
Cos’ there’s something kind of funny bout it
Shocks you right to the core
Paint me a picture, draw me a sign
Don’t tell me that you don’t lose any sleep anymore, alright
Well you better take a pinch of salt with
Every little thing said and done
Cos I put all of my money on it
Bet you there’s more to come

Mirror Mirror
04:09
|
|||
|
Mirror Mirror on the wall I stand at your attention
Be my only ceremony of my own reflection
So I’ve been hurt and broken hearted
Hits you in the morning
Hits you in the afternoon
Nothing you can say about it
It’s just a little heartache
Nothing you can say or do
Nothing harder
Hits you in the evening
Only time will tell if you get through it
There’s nothing harder
Only time will tell that you’ll get through it all
It’s been a while since you and I both made our last confessions
I hope I will just cope until we both have learned our lessons

Toward The Moon
06:48
|
|||
|
A flash of light in the dark and I wanna see it
In and out, black and white but I wanna know
I believe somewhere feeling way down inside
Somewhere out there, I want you there by my side
Let the dogs howl on toward the moon
Let, let the dogs howl on
I’ve been searching for you alone
Let the sun drown on toward the moon

Blue And Gold
03:18
|
|||
|
In the morning I remember its the moon I was dreaming of
In the desert all that I can see is blue and gold
And the fire well the fire in the sky is creeping low
Any moment it will slip right down
Any moment any moment now
Well I’m always waiting for my ship to run aground
But I’m always running out of time
In the morning I remember it’s the bird I was dreaming of
On the ocean all that he can see is blue and gold
In the distance all the clouds are looking dark and hanging low
Any moment it will chuck it down
Any moment now
Well on Monday morning when my ship has run aground
And I’m always running out of time

Suddenly
03:19
|
|||
|
Suddenly I need it, I need it, I needed something more than
You’ll ever know
Time again, I need it, I need it, I needed something more than
You’ll ever know
Don’t say anything’s wrong, it looks to me so suddenly
Don’t say anything’s changed, it’s soon to be, well look and see
Soon again I’ll need it, I’ll need it, I needed something more than you’ll ever know
Time again, I’ll need it, I’ll need it, I needed something more than
You’ll ever know
Don’t say anything’s wrong it’s soon to be well suddenly
Don't say anything’s changed, soon you’ll see you’ll look to be
