Lyrics


1. TIME



Time - He's waiting in the wings
He speaks of senseless things
His script is you and me boys

Time - He flexes like a whore
Falls wanking to the floor
His trick is you and me, boy

Time - In Quaaludes and red wine
Demanding Billy Dolls
And other friends of mine
Take your time

The sniper in the brain, regurgitating drain
Incestuous and vain,
And many other last names
I look at my watch it say 9:25 and I think
Oh God I'm still alive

We should be on by now
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

You - are not a victim
You - just scream with boredom
You - are not evicting time

Chimes - Goddamn, you're looking old
You'll freeze and catch a cold
Cause you've left your coat behind
Take your time

Breaking up is hard, but keeping dark is hateful
I had so many dreams,
I had so many breakthroughs
But you, my love, were kind, but love has left you
Dreamless

The door to dreams was closed.
Your park was real dreamless
Perhaps you're smiling now,
Smiling through this darkness
But all I had to give was the guilt for dreaming

We should be on by now
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

Yeah, time!






2. THE PRETTIEST STAR



Cold fire, you've got everything
But cold fire
You will be my rest and peace child
I moved up to take a place near you

So tired, it's the sky that makes you feel tried
It's a trick to make you see wide
It can all but break your heart in pieces

Staying back in your memory
Are the movies in the past
How you moved is all it takes
To sing a song of when I loved
The Prettiest Star

One day though it might
As well be someday
You and I will rise up all the way
All because of what you are
The Prettiest Star

One day though it might
As well be someday
You and I will rise up all the way
All because of what you are
The Prettiest Star
