Purple Velvet
This world is a testament to power
A monster of energy
Devouring consciousness
Time and time again
He was born with the sun on his hair
And waves in his eyes
Oh good young nymph
Help me remember his name
In case he rides home tonight
Hair to Mycenaean kings
His mother’s shrine
Is now lost in the mist
Memphis has drowned in the mud
And his tale is no more sung
He’s wrapped in velvet
Purple velvet
As he floats down
Down the river
There’s now gold on his eyelids ...
A monster of energy
Devouring consciousness
Time and time again
He was born with the sun on his hair
And waves in his eyes
Oh good young nymph
Help me remember his name
In case he rides home tonight
Hair to Mycenaean kings
His mother’s shrine
Is now lost in the mist
Memphis has drowned in the mud
And his tale is no more sung
He’s wrapped in velvet
Purple velvet
As he floats down
Down the river
There’s now gold on his eyelids ...

Swimming In The Deep
Repeat
Beachworld melodies
The ones that set you free
Swimming in the deep
Restrained
From thinking of your eyes
And how they hypnotize
Neon dreamlands on the rise
I just lit the fuse
I guess I'm one to choose
Of all the people I meet
You're the only one
That I want to sing for
Repeat
Beachworld melodies
The ones that set you free
Swimming in the deep
It's coming on strong
And I like the way
The visions we've had
Will be true someday
Feel the...

Out Of Cigarettes
Your hair is soaking wet
As things got better
"Trouble" prints in letracet
It comes in colors all around
You point your head towards the ground
As you have your finger raised
And you're looking for a way to get back home
The icing on the cake comes when you find
That you're out of cigarettes
But baby, please don't cry
When life is such a mess
Bad dream aftertaste
You grab your sheets as you wake up
You have your suitcase packed
But there's no plan at hand
Trouble smiles again ...
As things got better
"Trouble" prints in letracet

You point your head towards the ground
As you have your finger raised
And you're looking for a way to get back home
The icing on the cake comes when you find
That you're out of cigarettes
But baby, please don't cry
When life is such a mess
Bad dream aftertaste
You grab your sheets as you wake up
You have your suitcase packed
But there's no plan at hand
Trouble smiles again ...

Candy Bar
They met each other at this place called the Candy Bar
He was wearing a purple t-shirt, she was wearing a leather jacker.
She had a gray beanie with cat ears on
They took the last train home, as they talked about music
And the stars shines like rhinestones in the night
-
They woke up in velvet mornings
Breakfast and movies
Night clubs and rubies
And time well spent in bed
But as you know, nothing ever lasts forever
Indifferent circumstances drew near
And soon came, change
God damn goodbyes
They're all we get...

Lighthouse
Once as free
As eagles high
When we soared
The endless sky
Let's take a ride
Let's take a dive
In a midnight dream
In the morning tide
And as we go to the old lighthouse
We find it chained up and locked down
And my guitar won't make the same sound
As it did when you were around
And I'd love to walk
And I'd love to talk
Find we're all the same afterall
Only for a moment in this space and time
And it's a ludicrous idea
The fact that you exist
and you're not here
Oh won't...
As eagles high
When we soared
The endless sky
Let's take a ride
Let's take a dive
In a midnight dream
In the morning tide
And as we go to the old lighthouse
We find it chained up and locked down
And my guitar won't make the same sound
As it did when you were around
And I'd love to walk
And I'd love to talk
Find we're all the same afterall
Only for a moment in this space and time
And it's a ludicrous idea
The fact that you exist
and you're not here
Oh won't...

Pillow
Skinny bones, fat pay checks
We had too much of that stuff
You said you were under stress
So I offered you a pillow
Pillow baby make me go
Make me leave this house
Still I'd love a good show
Wouldn't want to miss a second
Rest now, let it fall
Look down my aim and see
I'll be taken, I'll be yours
If you show up in my dream
Safe house, right here
We went up the floors
Drink tray always near
Everything is crystal clear
Slow kissing, pillow beauty

Flesh
There was a very bright smile
In my dreams and in my car tonight
She's been through more than I
In the past weeks she did some bloody fights
I lift this glass of whiskey
To the roof as we lay down to nap
I love it when you finish our speech
And all the beach folk clap
Flesh
Flesh and bone
In the dark
When we're all alone
First you take a left and at the crossing
You take a left again
When you reach the open field, continue
There you'll meet my friend
She will lead you further to the bus ...
In my dreams and in my car tonight
She's been through more than I
In the past weeks she did some bloody fights
I lift this glass of whiskey
To the roof as we lay down to nap
I love it when you finish our speech
And all the beach folk clap
Flesh
Flesh and bone

When we're all alone
First you take a left and at the crossing

When you reach the open field, continue
There you'll meet my friend
She will lead you further to the bus ...

Time Is A Beast That Can't Be Tamed
It's not easy to say goodbye
I don't want that
It's not easy to cross that line
I don't want that
I'm in the ocean
I see a light from above
Ain't it fun getting hurt
By someone you love?
So, give me tender
Tender lies
Say we'll be together
For a long time
Now that, I don't mind
I don't want that
It's not easy to cross that line
I don't want that
I'm in the ocean
I see a light from above
Ain't it fun getting hurt
By someone you love?
So, give me tender
Tender lies
Say we'll be together
For a long time
Now that, I don't mind

Eyes Over Skies
Her magic hands
Play the drum
All night long
Her special friends
Close their eyes
Won't be too long
I feel
The darkness trying
To claim me now
I feel
My soul turn black
Without a sound
The Moon's
Silver hand
Covers the Sun
Laced
With tears that we cried
At crimson dawns
Rise
Rise
And keep your eyes
Over the skies
Feel
The magic break
Inside you now
Hear
The voices call
From all around
...
Play the drum
All night long
Her special friends
Close their eyes
Won't be too long
I feel
The darkness trying
To claim me now
I feel
My soul turn black
Without a sound
The Moon's
Silver hand
Covers the Sun
Laced
With tears that we cried
At crimson dawns
Rise
Rise
And keep your eyes
Over the skies
Feel
The magic break
Inside you now
Hear
The voices call
From all around

Orpheus And Eurydice
Ancient Muse
Give us an hour for magic
We of the purple legion
We of the starry night
And velvet hour
We of statyr pleasures' breed
We of the sun and moon
Give us a creed
To believe
-
His voice echoed in the forest
And I saw what I never had seen
A Theater was built in the midst
Where they used to play on the green
And the gates of this Theater were shut
Prohibitions were writ over the door
No more a garden of love
That so many sweet flowers bore
And I saw it was filled with...

Scorpion Grasses
She's a holy, naked picture
Or the wrong end of a gun
She's a lengthy monologue
Waiting to be done
She's an accurate description
Of each Forget-me-not
All home remedies and ailments
Or prescription drugs
She's the gift of life
Wrapped around the promise of death
As you cut up your arms
On angel's hair and baby's breath
She's the war that you've been fighting
While looking for peace
She's an uptown lady
Or a hippie if you please
Don't turn off the phone, babe
Don't leave me alone ...
Or the wrong end of a gun
She's a lengthy monologue
Waiting to be done
She's an accurate description
Of each Forget-me-not
All home remedies and ailments
Or prescription drugs
She's the gift of life
Wrapped around the promise of death
As you cut up your arms
On angel's hair and baby's breath
She's the war that you've been fighting
While looking for peace
She's an uptown lady
Or a hippie if you please
Don't turn off the phone, babe
Don't leave me alone ...

Chorus
Dance around fire
Create myths
Muses and heroes
Weird creatures in the night
Beautiful symmetrical angels
Aborted children in the mud
Natives in the forest, brightly feathered
Wild as the stars meant us to be
She dances in a ring of fire
Unchallenged, with plenty of precision
Soft sanctuary for restless souls
I touched her thigh and felt death's embrace
Create myths
Muses and heroes
Weird creatures in the night
Beautiful symmetrical angels
Aborted children in the mud
Natives in the forest, brightly feathered
Wild as the stars meant us to be
She dances in a ring of fire
Unchallenged, with plenty of precision
Soft sanctuary for restless souls
I touched her thigh and felt death's embrace
