Dialing A Prayer (Carter/Fits) Well you wind me up, just to let me go To see if what's promised is really so I'm your teddy bear, I'm your living doll I'm your big red flexible rubber ball But it feels like I'm dialing a prayer Oh, it's like no one's there Oh, dialing a prayer Oh, it's like no one's there Taint your beauty with your lies Oh...drive me away! But it feels like I'm dialing a prayer Oh it's like no one's there Ahh...dialing a prayer Oh, it's like no one's there Dialing a prayer Oh it's like no one, no one's there |

Telling Tales (Carter/Fits) It's such a relief to die in your sleep to know that it's only a dream The moment's so sweet almost makes all those dreams worthwhile nearly makes those nights worthwhile And you'll smile the burrows of sorrow will drain and dry It will help you some to fear the dark is to feel the light And these telling tales have a habit of... They trip you up to pick you up so find your feet and you will run again and again you'll smile Sunlight will eat away the remains of grey its caressing rays will help you some to fear the dark is to feel the light |
|
Dead Heat (Carter/Fits) Deep in scarring night and the stars have died while the moon refuses to shine Skies like the blankets over my eyes as his blankets fall over your thighs And I just want to never laugh with you again I just want to It's not that my sense of humour's not black or even saintly white It's just that your comedic timing is flat and this time my grimace will not pass for a smile And I just want to never laugh with you again I just want to |
|
Hail (Carter/Fits) Your words feel homesick watch them flounder in midair How I wish that they'd never flown Your costume is bedecked like the emperor's used clothes And you worry such you wonder whether your head will explode And it's hailing under your umbrella but it's clearing overhead |
|
Only You Knew (Carter/Fits) Show me serpent slowly what you will do these dissolving impressions Dress all your charms in an indigo hue magnetic blue If only you knew And granted, in dreamstyle you took the keys and seized a ticket of leave man Stole me lyrically with visions invisible to everyone that only you knew If only you knew I could cast these streams of strings that control me if only show me only Roll me in a cocoon that's woven for holding knowing only you're a feeling I never will lose feeling for you |

She Speeds (Carter/Fits) And I quietly count with her gone Name any number and I'm counting beyond Playing it coolly, though you know it isn't even really there Caress one night away, I was looking for more More, more, more But she She speeds Elusive as a thief in the night, she's stealing away She rides the wind, she burn, burns Yeah she rides the wind, she burn, burns And her speeding, her freedom's what's appealing to me to stop her in her tracks Match an act with flat tactics of attack These eyes may be steady but my cigarette is shaking With way deep saying, why don't you leap in But she, she goes, so no Leave it, but you know at times it seems oh I need her more than my mind Yeah, I need her more than my mind Oh I need her more than my mind |

Sparkle That Shines (Brough/Fits) It's a million to one that I won't take you home 'Cross the moon in scattered light As we gaze at the stars in these fashionless years With the memories all falling round I got changes in mind, but I'm falling behind In a vacuum of loveless nights Stare at the wall and feel nothing at all 'Midst the glitter of glamorous years What will we feel when everyone feels no pain? Where will we turn when everyone turns away? I don't feel the sparkle that shines through our eyes I don't feel anymore It's a million to one that I won't take you home To the sound of silent fears etc. |

Take From The Years (Brough/Fits) Caught within years of callow whims that drift among the tears Spilt on the tide of hapless cares that course beyond the shore Drown in the warmth with effortless calm The cold sinks in again Shiver inside haunted by the ghost of cloudless blue Found no way of turning away from love in bitter style Found no way of spending the days in thoughts of restless while as we take from the years as the years disappear and wonder how long 'til the pain passes on |
|
So Long Marianne (Leonard Cohen) Come over to the window my darling I'd like to try to read your palm I used to think that I was some type of gypsy boy before I let you take me home So, so long, Marianne, it's time that we began to laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again And your letters they all say you're beside me now So why do I feel so alone? You left me on the ledge with your thin spider web fastening my ankle to a stone Oh for now I need your hidden love I'm as cold as a new razor blade You left me when I said I was curious Well I never, I never said that I was brave |
|
Grate (Carter/Fits) And I shiver tho' it's not cold it's out of breath it's all been blown Some victory so sweet but the spoils turn bad as your skin crawls to escape my hand There is cold steel it is grating So as you go turn out the light you'll find the black is less finite It all stays the same when it's all grate A grate of the knife, a slice of life leaves very little takes more than is its right There is cold steel it is grating Suffocation greets everything we breathe There is cold steel it is grating |
|
Fabulous Things (Brough/Fits) We used to walk through sweet disarray and we laughed People would pass by we'd gaze in their eyes and they'd smile You asked to dance but lost the way half way there We talked in times that came to smile in our dreams After the show I'll never know so it seems I won't forget the times when you used to cry You're on your way home Don't get caught in the rain don't get lost in the storm We always talked of fabulous things |

All That That Brings (Carter/Fits) Stolen kiss in goodbye circumstances Oh, seemed to be hello My mouth won't move, silence sings I want you Alone, and along With all that that brings Yeah, all that that brings Now honesty is one big lie to me When I can hide behind the truth Of lost lorn longing, torn me up and coming In a blue view of you, of you And all that that brings Yeah, all that that brings And I'm breaking the finger that points Yeah I'm breaking, I'm breaking It's a short term shock, it won't stop these hands so full from reaching Oh from reaching Now don't talk to me about honesty It's one big lie to me Cause I can hide behind the truth And if I were to die of pleasure With looks to kill, you'd do Yeah you'd do, ah you'd do, but if you would then that's entirely up to you And I am full to overflow but I'm willing to loan any room, any home to you Yeah you, ah you And all that that brings Yeah all that that brings |

Life In One Chord (Carter/Fits) There's hawks on our shoulders More circling lower We're letting them peck at the back of our necks What more could we want? Plip plop, drip drop The tap drips on my head rot The pressure is building up So much to tend to that nothing's getting down So I think I'll build myself a hole Where nothing really matters, I'm alone Pushing and jabbing, the mouths that are stabbing The lines of losing lovers What more could we want? So I think I'll build myself a hole Where nothing really matters, I'm alone |

This Taste Delight (Carter/Fits) And I fell in even when fallen bleed But a siren sings, heals any injury Senseless fear turns to air and riding higher inside a desire designed to die It's ashened low but the embers still glow with a heat of their own And while the rules that call the tune may leave you tired, you'll find riding higher inside a desire designed to die was ashened low but the embers still glow So go ahead and take your time and mix it with more than a pinch of mine and it'll taste just fine Purely ours this taste delight |
