Spark

She's addicted to nicotine patches She's addicted to nicotine patches She's afraid of the light in the dark 6:58 are you sure where my spark is Here Here Here She's convinced she could hold back a glacier But she couldn't keep Baby alive Doubting if there's a woman in there somewhere Here You say you don't want it again And again but you don't really mean it You say you don't want it This circus we're in But you don't you don't really mean it You don't really mean it If the Divine master plan is perfection Maybe next I'll give Judas a try Trusting my soul to the ice cream assassin Here You say you don't want it again And again but you don't really mean it You say you don't want it This cirucs we're in But you don't you don't really mean it You don't really mean it How may fates turn around in the overtime Ballerinas that have fins that you'll never find You thought that you were the bomb yeah Well so did I Say you don't want it Say you don't want it Say you don't want it again And again but you don't really mean it Say you don't want it This circus we're in But you don't you don't really mean it You don't really mean it She's addicted to nicotine patches She's afraid of the light in the dark 6:58 are you sure where my spark is Here

Cruel

So don't give me respect Don't give me a piece of your presiousness Flaunt all sh'es got in our old neighbourhood I'm sure she'll make a few friends Even the rain bows down Let us pray as you cock-cock-cock your mane No cigarettes only peeled Havanas for you I can be cruel I don't know why Why can't my balloon stay up in a perfectly windy sky I can be cruel I don't know why I don't know why Dance with the Sufis Celebrate your top ten in the charts of pain Lover brother bogenvilla My vine twists around your need Even the rain is sharp Like today as you sh-sh-shock me sane No cigarettes only peeled havanas for you I can be cruel I don't know why Why can't my balloon stay up in a perfectly windy sky I can be cruel I don't know why I don't know why I can be cruel I don't know why Why can't my balloon stay up in a perfectly windy sky I can be cruel I don't know why I don't know why

Liquid Diamonds

Surrender then start you engines You'll know quite soon what my mistake was For those on horseback or dog sled You turn on at the bend in the road I hear she still grants forgivenesss Although I willingly forgot her The offering is molasses and you say I guess I'm an underwater thing so I Guess I can't take it personally I guess I'm an underwater thing I'm Liquid running There's a sea secret in me It's plain to see it is rising But I must be flowing liquid diamonds Calling for my soul At the corners of the world I know she's playing poker with the rest of the stragglers Calling for my sould at the corners of the world I know she's playing poker And if your friends don't come back to you And you know this is madness A lilac mess in your prom dress And you say I guess I'm an underwater thing

Northern Lad

Had a Northern Lad Well, not exactly had He moved like the sunset God who painted that First he love my accent How his knees could bend I thought we'd be ok Me and my molasses But I feel someting is wrong But I feel this cake just isn't done Don't say that you Don't And if you could see me now Said if you could see me now Girls you've got to know When it's time to turn the page When you're only wet Because of the rain He don't show much these days It gets so fucking cold I loved his secret places But I can't go anymore You change like sugar cane Says my northern lad I guess you go too far When pianos try to be guitars I feel the west in you And I feel it falling apart too Don't say that you Don't And if you could see me now Said if you could see me now Girls you've got to know When it's time to turn the page When you're only wet Because of the rain When you're only wet Because of the rain

Playboy Mommy

In my platforms I hit the floor Fell face down Didn't help my brain out Then the baby came before I found The magic how to keep her happy I never was the fantasy Of what you want wanted me to be Dont judge me so harsh little girl So you got a playboy mommy But when you tell em my name And you want to cross that bridge all on your own Little girl theyll do you no harm Cause they know your playboy mommy But when you tell em my name From here to birmingham I got a few friends I never was there was there when it counts I get my way Youre so like me You seemed ashamed Ashamed that I was A good friend of american soldiers I'll say it loud here by your grave Those angels cant ever take my place Somewhere where the the orchids grow I cant find those church bells That played when you died Played gloria Talkin bout hosanah Don't judge me so harsh little girl You got a playboy mommy, come home But when you tell them soldiers my name Cross that bridge all on your own Little girl theyll do you no harm They know your playboy mommy But I'll be home I'll be home to take you in my arms
