"Bourgeois Beat" Lyrics
patience reeling
steadfast eye
I need to need it more lively
I need to need it more lively
two times the anger calls for two times the salt
two times the anger eats the sugar from the skull
oh pretty penny what a shit-load to write off
my little penny is your ennui sweet enough
I need to need it more lively
I need to need it more lively
two times the anger...
(don't you worry)
two times the salt...
(don't you mind)
I need to need it more
I need it more
I need to need it more lively
I need to need it more
lively
swimming with fishes
(Montejo)
once and for all
please just shut up and come along
I'm not aiming to die here
stuck on a shelf
stained glass alibi
ricocheting my thoughts
to make it right
I just want to start being
beyond any reason
while I was walking in your shoes
all the stars lay on the ground
are you kidding there's no hell
just swimming with fishes
and feeding the hungry little ones
tall as it seems
look over the edge
how can you be
happy to hold on
while I was walking in your shoes
all the stars lay on the ground
are you kidding there's no hell
just swimming with fishes
and feeding the hungry little ones
see it wasn't bad to let it show
talk about catching on too slow
oh well
while I was walking in your shoes
all the stars lay on the ground
are you kidding there's no hell
just swimming with fishes
and feeding the hungry little ones
it happened just like a crash
I was certainly floored
it almost seems now little much mattered before
so where is this place
and how am I sure
I cannot help it I just have to be with you more
cause what you said to me has really gone a long way
and how you looked at me has really gone a long way
the way you smiled at me has really gone a long way
the way you touch me the way I touch you
it's like I'm out of my head somewhere high in the trees
I see your face in the flowers hear your voice in the breeze
I feel you in me
Do you feel me in you
what should I do now cause hanging here it's too hard to breathe
cause what you said to me has really gone a long way
and how you looked at me has really gone a long way
the way you smiled at me has really gone a long way
the way you kiss me the way I kiss you
No there are no reasons
No no reasons
No ther are no reasons
No no reasons
why
the way you smiled at me has really gone a long way
the way you want me the way I want you
stone white roses
stone dead cause
stone cold stupid all along
ain't your mama
ain't your fan
ain't your monkey after all
the golden age of giving in is carved into your knees
there's so much more you haven't found I'm sure you'll never see
sleeping giant
sleepless land
sleeping standing all along
can't stop spending
precious time
melts like heaven in my hands
the higher ground makes so much sense when life is just one speed
if nothing else it sends you packing gently down the stream
shouldn't hurt to see
shouldn't hurt to see you
shouldn't hurt to see you on your own
on your own
the golden age of giving in is carved into your knees
there's so much more you haven't found I'm sure you'll never see
the higher ground makes so much sense when life is just one speed
if nothing else it sends you packing gently down the stream
late last night
I thought of you driving
you were right there beside me
and the road was a drug
summer came
the sea was shining
the sky took you flying
but it's lonely above
let me carry you and
hang on
we're not on this earth too long
hang on
we're not on this earth too long
and when the line
is too dark to fathom
oh you can imagine
we're out of our minds
don't drain your life
I know you can find me
I'm right here inside you
all over your thoughts
let me carry you and
hang on
we're not on this earth too long
hang on
we're not on this earth too long
chalk it up to a good sign
bittersweet and mean
can't manage to dumb down
or keep the record clean
never hear what's buzzing
never got the goat
lying low in the deep end
suck it up till you choke
see the truth is
nothing to me
I'm not asking how you know it
or what you think it means
see the truth is
what you want it to be
and I...
drop the ball on the deadline
make a mess and a scene
last laugh is for idiots
and the big machine
sum it up in five words
never mind it's a joke
what's the big fucking hurry
coffin up in smoke
see the truth is
nothing to me
I'm not asking how you know it
or what you think it means
see the truth is
what you want it to be
and I...
some days are hard to fake
out of mind and on your plate
dumb enough to eat your pride
better off killing time
why I wonder
hardly matters the field is gray
all the better to laugh than pray
where you going
where you been
walk straight through it
you fit right in
sounds a lot like kiss and tell
stick around you'll feel the nails
something's got your tongue again
swear to god you have no friends
bitter tears fill the hole
never mind the life you sold
can't face the fading son
look again you are no one
how I wonder
clouds of people free from love
see no evil in giving up
where you going
where you been
walk straight through it
you fit right in
what's gotten into you
all your thoughts are black and blue
on the road to one big joke
don't you know no one knows
sure time's running out
too sick to scream or shout
getting old as I can be
what's left for you and me
some days are hard to fake
out mind and on your plate
dumb enough to eat your pride
some days are hard to take
out mind and on your plate
better off killing time
sentimental you're a bird on a chain
sentimental let me spell it all out
it's the same dead horse you've been kicking on
sentimental and no fire to feed
sentimental and no sign of a change
it's the same damn dope you've been living on
if the shoe don't fit
try the other foot
ain't no particular side
to embrace or deny
you gotta giddy up
to get down to the itching
cut it out, don't have a cow
and release it
cut it out, have a cow
and release it
if the shoe don't fit
try the other foot
ain't no particular side
to embrace or deny
you gotta giddy up
to get down to the itching
strung out on free advice caustic points of view
the mood swings to pick me up but what am I to do
every time you throw your weight I tumble into trouble
every day I have to say I will not join the battle
what's with this endless fascination to belong
and did I mention that the stitches won't hold on
what's with this endless fascination to be strong
paper bombshell praising Cain celebrated coup
the mood swings the puppet strings the craving splits the roof
every time you throw your weight I tumble into trouble
every day I have to say I will not join the battle
what's with this endless fascination to belong
why can't you kill the motivation and move on
what's with this endless fascination to be strong
who's that banging on my back door
banging on every little nail and board, go away
the cops can't stop it or lock it up
no doctor can fix it or say enough, qu'est-ce que
oh they say you don't mean it cause you have no choice, oh yeah
yeah the world is crazy and you can't avoid what is now
I hate to break it to you
maybe you're home
(you don't know why)
maybe you're home
(you don't know why)
maybe you're home
(even though you don't know why nothing else seems to get you high)
guess the country didn't make for greener grass
you stumble all day sticking to your bourgeois plan, is that all
how's it gonna hit you when the years sink in
throw you from a bridge or will the drugs kick in, so it goes
oh they say you don't mean it cause you have no choice, oh yeah
yeah the world is crazy and you can't avoid what is now
I hate to break it to you
maybe you're home
(you don't know why)
maybe you're home
(you don't know why)
maybe you're home
(even though you don't know why nothing else seems to get you high
got a minute, need a second hand
got a minute, need a second hand
oh boy, that's right, no one can tell you
cause the pain's never coming to a perfect stop
no matter how it's going you just can't get off
that's right, that right
maybe you're home
(even though you don't know why)
maybe you're home
(even though you don't know why)
maybe you're home
(even though you don't know why)
maybe you're home
even though you don't know why
you're home
"Clouds of People" Lyrics
play me down
I thought was safe to wake your soul
say no more
I don't understand, were you just bored
cause you don't crawl like I do
like all these people do
they do
oh how did you
hide away to come back home
stay for good
I don't care why, perhaps you should
oh you don't crawl like I do
like all these people do
I got that picture you never gave to me
twisted branches, a seashell crushed in the street
dead birds don't fly
dead birds don't fly
black hole harbor
a violet horizon gleams
see no sunlight, but if I'm right, I'm not here to make peace
no you don't know
no you don't know
now would be a good time to be awake
now would be a good time to be awake
now would be a good time
now would be a good time to be away
away
ship is sinking, but I am sailing above
every word, every day, everything that crossed my mind
so I don't hear the music
you move time and space
so I don't bear the burden
of being ok
now would be a good time to be awake
now would be a good time to be awake
now would be a good time
now would be a good time to be away
get around by the thread of a cheap thrill
it cost too much to play with you
for a smile and a side of sweet eyes
it's not enough to light the tomb
oh yeah
I still don't believe that love
is everything we live for
I still don't believe that love
is everything we live for
in the time that it takes to say anything
the leaves have gone from green to red
memories stick in me like a dartboard
I dare you to come back again
oh yeah
I still don't believe that love
is everything we live for
I still don't believe that love
is everything we live for
did you ever need a back door
to slip into the air
I wouldn't die for anyone
I'm hard pressed just to care
it's a hot cold ride when the clock is spinning
put the pedal to the metal it's a race worth winning
well it's long dark walk then the lights go on
see the left foot's in the game but the right is gone
oh let it roll let it roll let it roll right down your finger
I don't suppose one would know why my head still lingers
it's the go go go of all lies
it's the go go go of real life
and I'm really not far above it
it's the go go go of all time
so you've made it with an eye for another big year
send the letter back to school cause the coast is clear
well nothing's wrong nothing's wrong nothing's quite right either
I don't suppose one would know why I just can't be here
it's the go go go of all lies
it's the go go go of real life
and I'm really not far above it
it's the go go go of all time
and I'm really not far above it
in fact I've got a full house to spare
then again I don't have forever
no no no
it's the go go go of all lies
it's the go go go of real life
and I'm really not far above it
it's the go go go of all time
late last night
I thought of you driving
you were right there beside me
and the road was a drug
summer came
the sea was shining
the sky took you flying
but it's lonely above
let me carry you and
hang on
we're not on this earth too long
hang on
we're not on this earth too long
and when the line
is too dark to fathom
oh you can imagine
we're out of our minds
don't drain your life
I know you can find me
I'm right here inside you
all over your thoughts
let me carry you and
hang on
we're not on this earth too long
hang on
we're not on this earth too long
