I can't apologize to my body for what I have done...the inches I put it through just to believe in someone. Christessa, I'll be gone by the time you awake. I just wanted to believe in someone. I just wanted to believe in myself. I just wanted to believe in someone. Love is a marble in your eye, water in a bucket or anchors in your sky. Nothing you can comprehend. Nothing you can justify. For me I just lose more as I try. So what do I do? Nothing is changing. What do I do?

Exit - Body (Alex Niedt Remix)

I Miss You

"A true impressionist/expressionist painting in sound, the listener can practically see the piece, wet and dripping from the canvas. The deep vocals are absolutely chilling."

Isn't it rich? 
Are we a pair? 
Me here at last on the ground 
You in mid-air... 
Send in the clowns 

Isn't it bliss? 
Don't you approve? 
One who keeps tearing around 
One who can't move... 
Where are the clowns? 
Send in the clowns 

Just when I'd stopped opening doors 
Finally knowing the one that I wanted was yours 
Making my entrance again with my usual flair 
Sure of my lines 
No one is there 

Don't you love farce? 
My fault I fear 
I thought that you'd want what I want 
Sorry my dear 
But where are the clowns? 
There ought to be clowns 
Quick, send in the clowns 

What a surprise! 
Who could foresee 
I'd come to feel about you what you felt about me? 
Why only now when I see that you've drifted away? 
What a surprise... 
What a cliché... 

Isn't it rich 
Isn't it queer 
Losing my timing this late in my career? 
And where are the clowns? 
Quick, send in the clowns 
Don't bother, they're here

Originally written in 1967 and recorded in 1970 by Tim Buckley (father of Jeff Buckley), and made famous by This Mortal Coil in 1983, many recognize the song from its film appearances, including Lost Highway (David Lynch had originally wanted to use it in Blue Velvet), The Lovely Bones, Candy (wonderful Heath Ledger film), and even the trailer for the 2003 The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

"A dark look at the over-glamorized nightlife scene, the large vocal range and crisp, powerful atmosphere are indeed gorgeous support for the biting statement of this 'anti-club song for the club'."
