Lyrics: 

i pull you close
and on it goes
your blue dress
starts a fire
oh, it's a shame
it's only in my head
all these things that i desire

sweet things
diaries of the past
all the sunshine brings
oh, i thought that it would last
back when the tide
would walk right by my side
and whisper secrets in my ear

let them fly
and do their dance
the seagulls in the horizon
it's a trick
to take your focus
away from the shadows
they cast over the sunset

sweet things
diaries of the past
all the sunshine brings
oh, i thought that it would last
back when the tide
would walk right by my side
and whisper secrets in my ear

Sweet Things

Lyrics:

down in the ground
we sleep together
rats and whores
pimps and popes
sorrows and hopes
the murderer and the murdered
together forever

here in the ground
is the coldest sound
in the ground
and i feel like a clown
as their teeth burns in my skin
deep down in the cool dark ground

up in the sky
where the children cry
in the sky
is the warmest sound
but their hearts will fall all the way
at the end of the day to the ground
further down in the ground

here in the ground
down in the ground

there on the street
that lovely young girl
on the street
so hot in the heat
to the men she'll meet in their cars
so warm in her heart in the cold ground

she knows love
through a kiss to the rat
great love
as if all from above
came down to the ground into their eyes
to conquer all cold sound
to wear a smile in the ground

here in the ground
down in the ground

A Kiss to the Rat

Lyrics:

your nipple is the softest spot
on planet earth, baby blue
but still the hardest time
the end of my world
earthquake girl, is on you

rocks falling from the sky
breaking through our roof
i sigh as i'm watching
my best friends die for proof
of wisdom in the tooth

to know love is wisdom
and i love, but i'm not wise
cause love will never know me
though i've known it's fall and rise
when it felt the sun in it's face
it melted, the still empire of ice
around it's rotten body
a communion gathered
of hungry, buzzing flies

the wind is whistling hymns of
kermes vermilio, baby crimson
with heavy steps, in the clay
i lay, and listen, ready to imprison
the ghost of the night and the day

i often dream about the night
when i first stepped into your arms
but then i wake up to the sound
and sight of civil defense alarms
and U.F.O's in the sky
please, don't ask me why

Kermes Vermilio

Lyrics:

timid me is afraid
of what might be
of me if he loves
her, doves in my
head, i thee wed
out of all that were
when we weren't dead
now the rain pours down
and all that i dread, the stain
on your white wedding gown
is darkening the light in the lost
that i found, no longer around

in the dark of a bark
from a dog on a stalk
in the park in love
with the girl in the morgue
the wood in the veins
of two logs, from one tree
might share the same pains
but were never meant to be
together, happy, in love

so says she, as she puts on
her glove, but the weather
is singing a different song
with it's voice from above
i'd never let go of the wind
though it's gone, though so
is the sun, but i remember
dear sapphire, i'm your lover
your son, forget me not
how it shun in early september

i remember how it shun
the sun in early september

In the Dark of a Bark

Lyrics:

i lied to you
i don't deserve
the blue in your eyes
the dream of your thighs
lies bare in the beams
of the sun we see rise
in a memory far away
of a lost love that cries
out our names for reprise
and the charms of its games
is limited by it's arms
too short to reach
the soft sand on the beach
too long to feel itself
to know if it is real or an elf
from a tale long ago

children wail
roses grow
below the sky
from the white in the snow

Lost Love

Lyrics:

since i saw you
walking down my street
i've longed to kiss you
all night through i need you

in my dreams you appear
holding me as you stir
hope into my pot of fear
i love you

and i never say "i love you"
no, no, no, no, no, no, no
and if i ever told you would you stay with me
or would you go? go, go, go, go, go away
no, i'm never gonna make it baby
i'm never gonna make it without you
at least not very far
i love you shooting star

come with me to malawi
we'll sit in the grass amidst the trees
and watch the wild giraffes at sunset
and feel the evening breeze in our faces

traces of such warm embraces
keeps us untorn and safe
amazes forever and always

and i rarely get amazed oh
though i try, and try, and try
but if i ever do then it is by the thought of you and i
i wanna cry my hopeful tears forever, don't go away
no, i'm never gonna make it baby
i'm never gonna make it without you
at least not very far
i love you shooting star
in the night sky far above me
take me to the sky so we can be together
make my wish come true
shooting star i love you

I Love You (Shooting Star)

Written by Jerry Leiber and Phil Spector.

Lyrics:

There is a rose in Spanish Harlem
A red rose up in Spanish Harlem
It is a special one, it's never seen the sun
It only comes out when the moon is on the run
And all the stars are gleaming
It's growing in the street right up through the concrete
But soft and sweet and dreamin'

There is a rose in Spanish Harlem
A red rose up in Spanish Harlem
With eyes as black as coal that looks down in my soul
And starts a fire there and then I lose control
I have to beg your pardon
I'm goin' to pick that rose and watch her
As she grows in my garden

Spanish Harlem

Lyrics:

i'll put myself in your place
for the rest of my lonely days
measuring truth by the mood of your face
is my way of blessing the blues that stays

to tenderly caress the body of green
the hope in it's eyes is put there by the queen
Prince Turquoise has seen limbs lying askew
of his mother and father, the green and the blue

bleeding with red, can this be true?
i thought no colors could give birth to you, child
let's pray for the wild sea of illusion that's shown
come stay in this bloodbath with me, all alone
uh uh uh uh uh yellow butter-stone
uh uh uh uh uh sitting on the throne
all alone, yellow butter-stone

new born sinister princess, i see
now how my baby sister is free
to conquer the world, my sister is you
the princess is you, all red out of blue

and green, what does this exactly mean?
that the way of the scream, like a wave, is a dream?
a nightmare that tricks our fears, a machine
that might as well be using it's time making ice-cream

for us to share, me and you
though i know no flavor could satisfy you, child
let's pray for the wild sea of illusion that's shown
come stay in this bloodbath with me, all alone
uh uh uh uh uh yellow butter-stone
uh uh uh uh uh sitting on the throne
all alone, yellow butter-stone

The Thïrd
