Dizzy and Drunk With Love

I go for long walks alone (me and my headphones), strolling real slow, no particular place to go.  I’m just unwinding my mind like slow-mo convoes.  Me and my girl on the phone lost in translation like Sophia Co.  I tell her I love her and hang up the telephone.  The pressures of life, they got us down real low.  Together forever?  These things I don’t know. Check it out.  Ooh…no.  So with my minidisc and mini-mic I press ‘record’.  Ambient street sounds, commit to tape now.  And you can’t stop starting and it just don’t stop.  And it can’t stop starting and it just don’t stop.  It’s the excuse I use not to commit to you, instead I keep talking about the tapes in my head.  You can’t stop starting and it just don’t stop.  No, you can’t stop starting and it just don’t stop.  The time and the place in your life what a waste cuz’ I lie to your face.  I’m dizzy and drunk with love.

The Pull

There’s a pull of will and a pull of love.  We spin our heels until we’re stuck.  We all want to be the one to rise above.  We all want the things we want to be enough.  I don’t ask for much.  Save your pennies cuz’ your dreams are about to come true.  Just pray you never come to.  We all want to be in love with what we want.  We all want the things we want to be enough.  I don’t ask for much.  Just live by your heart and not the clock that winds you up.  And I want love.

Homemade Hearts / Highway Arteries

There could have been a situation, but I was thinking on my feet.  We just avoided a disaster, unless of course, I’m still asleep.  And if I am, can you remember to wake me please?  But if I’m not, I’ll say I’ll miss you all, but I’m glad I’m gone.  You’ll never know how close I’ve come.  You’ve got your mother’s milky skin and your father’s rotting teeth, and I love you like a childhood memory.  I’ll miss you all, I’m glad I’m gone.  You’ll never know how close I’ve come.

Parasite

These things I feel for you, they cut me up in pieces.  When you told me of your guilty truth, I wished so badly I could hurt you.  We lived inside each other.  We lost ourselves and left our souls to burn.  You were my angel, always overly inviting.  Forgot everything we needed when I sewed my heart into your hands.  The eyes of everyone told us we never had to give this up.  You always had the gift of changing every colour in me.  Cling to imaginary shadows just so they could throw me out in the rain to realize I’m just as breakable as you.  I told myself I was your hero and you couldn’t be without me kissing your tears, making you new again.  The eyes of everyone had no idea we were breaking down.  Parasite good night parasite I’m tired. I’m tired, good night.
