the waves pt.1

MESSAGE FROM THE SPIRIT WORLD

let the cool waves wash over me

THEY DIDN’T SEE IT COMING

on the fourth night i make the call
its time to venture out
i take my skateboard and my flick knife
im prepared for what i'll find
im ready
night time do your worst
the city streets are deserted
police cars are all burnt out
there's not a single cloud in the sky
and im blinded by the stars

every step is moving on
im leaving it behind
the world has turned and so must i
so here's to never growing old
just like a rolling stone
they never saw it coming
they never stood a chance

i follow the river to parliament square
past the ransacked cathedral
the pale lights of the street light dance
in the broken glass of the stores
im ready
but when i arrive its the queerest thing
a leash of foxes are holding court
they look at me but they do not move
for this is their space now

every step is moving on
im leaving it behind
the world has turned and so must i
so here's to never growing old
just like a rolling stone
they never saw it coming
they never stood a chance

so here's to never growing old
step after step
so here's to never growing old
step after step
we never saw it coming
we didnt stand a chance

THE WAY WE LIVE NOW

you've had your fun now pack it in
your going to ruin everything
you've got me good, im trembling
are you trying to prove a point?
the thought of you undressing him
whispering sweet nothings
the thought of him, holding you down
ok, if thats what you want?
you can hurt and we'll let it drop
you can hurt me
but then this has to stop

did you really think that i wouldnt notice
the way you look at him?
did you really think that i wouldnt notice?
how deep does it go?
have you lost control?
do you not know how to stop?
either way this has to end
have i made myself understood?

did you really think that i wouldnt notice the way you look at him?

the way we live
the way we live now

HOW TO BEAT THE LIE DETECTOR

things were better when we were cartoons
days would pass right through us
our outlines wouldnt change
but its ok babe, there's still money to be made
but you gotta stay up
but the judge tells me that im going down
so i play to the jury for its their hands
there's still everything to play for and im a betting man
put your money on me

so i walk through doors
walk through mirrors
walk through walls
to find out where you are
so i walk through doors
walk through mirrors
walk through walls
to get to where you are

the seed takes root in in my belly it seems
and from out of my mouth the apple tree springs
oh tomasz, how could i hate you?
we just got lost in our private rainbow

he says its been a rather full on day
but when i press him to divulge he obfuscates
when i try to stand my ground
he triangulates on me
so i take him to the trap door at the end of our road
and before he works it out i pull him in
and i just hope he's in one of his playful moods tonight

so i walk through doors
walk through mirrors
walk through walls
to find out where you are
so i walk through doors
walk through mirrors
walk through walls
to get to where you are

(oh oh oh oh)
i can roll a 7 twice
(oh oh oh oh)
i can disregard your good advice
(oh oh oh oh)
i can still make your flowers bloom,
that is if you really want me to?

darling, i got carried away
these days its easier to stay in make believe
and i didnt mean to be tacky at your event
but if i dont read the papers then i dont get depressed
its insane
(trying to keep ahead of the beat)
its insane

darling, i must confess
i've been drinking to excess
i've been smoking, to manage the stress
i've been sensing your unrest
but were doing ok, better than the rest
im still down for ever and if you need to ask
its insane
(trying to keep ahead of the beat)
its insane

darling, i've made a mess
if i send you my location can you pick me?
just promise not to ask
its best that you dont know,
we can sit in silence back through walthamstow
oh i didnt mean to make a scene in front of your friends
but whenever i catch the headlines i get so distressed
its insane
(trying to keep ahead of the beat)
its insane

trying to keep ahead of the beat

NINEVEH

i'm trying, this is a try
i think its probably for the best that you and i
dont see each other again
i'd like to, think we didnt waste our time
that although we did not reach the end
there must be a reason for our rhyme

he said "boys like me dont just grow on trees"
but lately i've been thinking all about the evergreens
i wrote it in a letter, a letter i could not send
i took a pill to fall asleep but i could only see your face in negative
etched in my brain,
you left a mark
you left a stain
i thought i knew about myself
like i know its wrong to obses
but i've been bitten by a demon boar
and its fucked with my head

drink those tears its time to level up

THE ONE WHO HELD YOU UP

open your eyes let the daylight confront you
take your sweet time for these feelings wont change
wake from your sleep to a world that has turned
watch it spin
under the arches it seemed like you were crying
lost in the deluge, heartbreak makes you stale
you've given your all but its left your depleted
now you fall

you have lost
your hero in the disguise
you have lost
your beacon in the dark
you have lost
the one who held you up
now you fall

everywhere that you go
it always seems to find you
dinner for 1 or in lonely mornings
your ruining yourself
with such late night abandon
part time love
(oh oh oh)
your trying to find north on the lips of another
trying to find home in a bed thats not yours
you've misplaced the one thing that you needed
now you fall

you have lost
your hero in the disguise
you have lost
your beacon in the dark
you have lost
the one who held you up
now you fall
now you fall

open your eyes

FROM A PLACE OF LOVE

catra, come away from the window
your starting to scare me
lets go downstairs your getting bleak
A G said you were leaving
said you gave your possessions away
you did the same thing the year you went bad

a deal is a deal
to take it back is to steal
is to steal
i'll stay through the night
right here by your side
if you like

its really no big deal
but the money in wallets missing
is there something you want to say?

a deal is a deal
to take it back is to steal
is to steal
i'll stay through the night
right here by your side
if you like

she says its like being held down
by 1000 invisble hands
caught in the whirlopool
going down the drain

a deal is a deal,
to take it back is to steal
is to steal
i'll stay through the night
right here by your side
if you like
i'll stay through the night
for as long as you like
if you like

CRADLE YOU

it starts with me
this ocean of love
i watch you as you stir
blissfully you stir
in a paradise dream
you pick my call
sensing my lone spark
we sit together in the dark

so go long
as you fall fall fall from the stars
i'll take the force
as you land into my arms
i'll keep you weightless
suspended in dreams
let me restore you
let me cradle you

you hide in my pocket
you hide in my hair
you sink into my frame
not to be noticed
under your daydream
i spin you new skin
undo all the harm
i will tend to you
as you grow toward the light

it's time to get up now
it's time to rise
