Angels

With fire all around you,
you race the sky and crown the hearts.
Let loose of all your arrows,
and watch them fly, fly away, fly away.
Broken hearts lie scattered
all around this dusty room.
Look around, have you noticed?
They're everywhere, look around, look around.
Can you see past all your heavens,
and watch us as we all fall down?
Your lights shine the brightest
just before the darkness is gone.
With careless words of wonder
and blind blackened eyes, look away, look away.
Oh holiest of all the angels,
will you follow me with flames all around?
Oh holiest of all your angels,
won't you follow me?
Fall down, fall down.

Lake Havasu
06:41
|

|
With our hearts held high,
we roll toward the west.
Straight for that black diamond sky
out on the edge.
You've got me right by your side.
Don't let go.
Wrapped up with silver and gold,
hold the light, hold the light on...
London is falling all the way down.
Cool, clear waters
calling me back to that town.
Dance hall dreams come spinning round,
each time we ride
through Lake Havasu...
Hold on little darlin,
don't let them take you so far away.
Hold on little darlin,
just lay down on this edge of a dream...
London is falling all the way down.
Cool, clear waters
calling me back to that town.
Dance hall dreams come spinning round,
each time the lights shine
in Lake Havasu.

Nine Days and Nights
06:08
|
|||
|
Out on the wide open sky,
skirting right round the edge
of endless ice and dark, darkest fire.
Carry all of these souls,
crashing waves as we climb the winter sky.
Nine days and nights.
By the blood of the blackest sea.
Hold the light
'cross an ocean of bones and broken dreams,
and here we go again.
Each time we ride out on this way,
the fragile deal, the fragile deal
is set and swept all away.
Carry all through the day
and fly out over the night
for Monoceros' bright, bright ruby eye.
Sirens call one by one.
Seven thrones to bring you home
with open arms, oh hold the light.
Cast out wide for the starboard side.
The trick of the ride
is knowing how our dreams collide,
and here we go again...
Each time we ride out on this way,
the fragile deal, the fragile deal
is set and swept all away.
Let it ride, let it ride, all night.
Hold on tight, let it ride, ride on down.
Let it ride, hold on tight, we're going down.
Break all these tiny bones in two
and race them down without a sound.
Nine days and nights.
Cast out wide for that silver lullaby,
and here we go again...
The fragile deal is swept away
every time we ride this way.
Hold tight, hold the light, we're goin down.

Let's bridle the wind,
and saddle up the sky.
Let's go out tonight
on an endless, starry ride.
Laureli hold on, hold on tight.
Reach out your arms through the sea.
This storm has taken you
on a dangerous ride,
take hold of my hand and follow me...
Let's bridle the wind,
and saddle up the sky.
Let's go out tonight
on an endless, starry ride.
He whispered, Oh can you see?
Flying right there in the sky,
the very best and brightest stars
racing all around along the shore.
Take up your wings
and fly yourself free...
Let's bridle the wind,
and saddle up the sky.
Let's go out tonight
on an endless, starry ride.

There they go again,
out on the town...
Watch them run away,
see them hide away.
Watch them run all through the day...
la la la...
Catch me if you can.
Oh climb on through if you dare.
Oh catch me, catch me if you can...
Watch them run away,
see them hide away.
Watch them run all through the day...
la la la...
Kiss the drama of the day.
The queen of the hour
as she passes your way.
Shine the lights in your eyes.
With your lizards and your feathers
swirling through the sky.
Shake them up, spit them out,
and watch them run away
Oh watch then run away
Climb on through if you dare.
Watch the sun roll over
all through the day
with lights in your eyes.

Drag or Two
04:47
|

|
There simply could be no other way to reach you.
Twist the line for a drag or two.
Your turn back down the road again,
underneath the willow arms.
All the way through the open sky,
I saw you walking along
kicking rocks into the water,
followed by a stray white dog...
There simply could be no other way to reach you.
Watching the skies roll away.
The world seems darker now.
Less light and color now.
Tired eyes tell the tale
of too many hours from sleep.
Lay down your head next to mine,
and you will see when you open your eyes...
There simply could be no other way to reach you.
Lay your head next to mine,
and softly turn down the light,
and hold you close till the morning...
There simply could be no other way to reach you.
Your heart overloads,
falling forward.
And all of this time, we stand by,
listening for a sign.

Fire
05:27

Gather 'round, gather 'round
this endless fire
and burn your heart away.
Hold tight and linger round this room.
Little bird come fly away with us
and scatter all these broken leaves to dust.
With soldier eyes you carry on,
just to save the game and throw the day away.
Hold tight, the countdown's on the run.
Jump through the sky with razor lines
and fly out to the icy stars above.
Five thousand spires climb the night,
and light the sky like brindle valentines.
Let go, let go of this fire.
Grab hold the reigns,
can you send me higher?
Can you send me higher?
Little bird come fly away.
Little bird come fly away with us.
Come fly away, come fly away little bird...

Kentucky.
In Kentucky...
There's blood all under the ground
in Kentucky...
Her head split down the middle,
and fire came out of her eyes.
Her arms fell off and floated away
and disappeared into the sky.
Her heart was cold as ice
as she fell on her knees.
Oh what, she cried,
am I to believe in Kentucky.
Kentucky...
In Kentucky.
There's blood all under the ground
in Kentucky...
They clambered down the banks
and crawled along the ground.
They searched the sky for a sign
and listened for the sound.
I'm under here she cried.
Reach down and lift me up.
Take this dagger from my eyes
and this poison from my cup...
There's blood all under the ground
in Kentucky...
But no one heard a thing.
They all just stood and stared,
as the flames rose up into the sky
and sirens filled the air.

Kids
05:57

Midnight hours holding fast,
dark as they run.
Anxious hearts hang right round the edge
all night ling.
Oh by the time you find she's on your side,
danger cries crash at the moon.
She races out to challenge the sky.
Who knows how long this will last?
And all the kids come out to play.
And all the kids come out to play.
How long.
There they go again
out on the town.
Lucky tragedy screams through the room,
dragging you down...
Who knows how long this will last?
And all the kids come out to play.
And all the kids come out to play.
How long.
Here she comes again without a sound.
Chasing the night with envious eyes,
crazy night owls ring out
all over the town.

Never Know
05:35
|

|
You'll never know what's buried here
at the seat of this hallowed tree.
Look back again with golden charms
and sing them all to sleep.
Carry me back to the beginning
and start it right, right from the top.
With gallows high, you swing the ride
straight down until we're lost.
With card house games and murderous fame,
they'll volunteer the crime.
Yet none of them will raise a hand
like careless small-town lies.
Oh the death of an angel looms larger
than the deepest sea,
and lingers on with empty songs
and scatters them while they dream.
You'll never know what's buried here
at the seat of this hallowed tree.
With ancient arms, call out the charms
and bring them home to me.
Carry me back to the beginning
and start it right, right from the top.
Whirlwind the ride of your greatest life
and never let it stop.
