I'm stranded here again, another Friday night
Turn up the music, black out the lights
Best kinda scene, I shouldn't have been
Bandits in charge of the silver machine and
One of our friends is along for the ride
Hangin' from the window, out of his mind
I don't want my luck to fall at my feet
Don't wanna feel a thing, just wanna hear you scream, yeah
These are
These are the days that follow you home
These are the days that kiss you on your broken nose
These are the days, I don't miss the feeling of being alone
These are the days, these are the days
We were breakin' the limit, then we broke down
Turned to the left to some no-name town
Everybody's got a dream, I like it best when I'm in it
Comin' 'round the corner, I'll be there in a minute
And I'm comin' up on somethin' sweet
I'm leavin' with the first person I meet
I'm holdin' out, I'm hangin' on
For that moment where it all goes wrong, yeah
These are
These are the days that follow you home
These are the days that kiss you on your broken nose
These are the days, I don't miss the feeling of being alone
These are the days, these are the days
And we can do anything we want for a while
They say
And tell you to behave with a smile
Don't turn
Don't turn and run away
Don't hide
'Cause we can do anything we want for a while
I think we're gonna be okay
Yeah, I think we're gonna be okay
These are
These are the days that follow you home
These are the days that kiss you on your broken nose
These are the days, I don't miss the feeling of being alone
These are the days, these are the days
These days
I think we're gonna be okay

Lyrics:

I feel the fire of a burning sun
And the voices echo down on me
The sudden swell of a thousand waves
Are plunging to the depths of me
Can you tell a storm is coming
Forming distantly
Like memories that ceased to be

Softly, like wind carries heat in air
Our instincts guide us to the fire
The smoke will lead me there

I feel the fire of a burning sun
And the voices echo down on me
The sudden swell of a thousand waves
Are plunging to the depths of me
Can you hear the embers cracking
Dancing in release
My intuition calls on me

Audrey, listen close again to me
I will gladly go where you guide me
Wherever that may be
Like wind carries salt to sea
And this is the start

Illusory, alluring me
Harrowing, the path can be
But if you see the future in me
Like I see in my visions of you

I feel the fire of a burning sun
And the voices echo down on me
The sudden swell of a thousand waves
Are plunging to the depths of me
Can you tell a storm is coming
Forming distantly
I’ll go wherever you guide me

Starless Skies (Moondust Reboot)

If the kids wanna dance
Hot shoes - tight pants
High spirits - cheap bear
My eardrums - Can't hear or won't hear
I'm not here

CHORUS
If the kids wanna dance let them dance, let them dance
If the kids wanna dance let them dance

I'm tired - so what?
Party - I forgot
Can't take the pace
But I'm trying to catch the bass, deep bass
In yer face

CHORUS

One step, one fall
I'm proud I've gall
Raise your finger in the air
Let the world know you care
I don't care, I don't care

CHORUS

If The Kids Wanna Dance (Let Them Dance)

written in 2018

recorded in brighton

lyrics:

i wonder if he was worth it
i’ll wager that he was 
he’s a stepping stone
a stepping stone but 
“at least he’s not alone”

i wonder if he was worth it
i’ll bet you that he was 
he’s a stepping stone
a stepping stone but 
he’s the next one along 

everybody loves you but i don’t 
they just  shove it down my throat  
everybody loves you but i can’t 
& they just smile & take my fucking hand "delilah please don’t go 
cos everybody loves you"
“i don’t know if i can”
"cos everybody loves you delilah 
please just stay awhile 
stay awhile 
stay awhile" 

i wonder if he was worth it
i’ll wager that he was 
he’s a stepping stone
a stepping stone but 
he’s the next one along 

i wonder if he was worth it
i’ll bet you that he was 
he’s a stepping stone
a stepping stone but 
he’s the next one along 

cos everybody loves you
“i don’t know if i can”
cos everybody loves you delilah 
please just stay awhile 
stay awhile 
stay awhile

everybody loves you (but i don't)
