sappy

I'm sappy and I don't even have to fake it / one of those caps that jingles when you shake it / and when she speaks she's the first autumn wind / a shiver down my spine / like liquid wax she traps my skin / so I can't take a look behind / just help me stay blind
she's sappy trying to act like a grown-up / when she's drinking until she has to throw up / but when the other noises are turned off / her voice becomes my guide / puts her hands close onto my eyes / when all the light's too bright / just help me stay blind
oh, can we just be sappy together?
when I can't smile / she's my exile / after a climb / she's my sunshine

for your love

for your love / I'd give you everything and more and that's for sure / for your love / I'd bring you diamond rings and things right to your door / for your love / to thrill you with delight / I'll bring you diamonds bright / there'll be things that will excite / and make you dream of me at night / for your love
for your love / I'd give the moon if it were mine to give / for your love / I'd give the stars and the sun 'fore I live / for your love / to thrill you with delight / I'll bring you diamonds bright / there'll be things that will excite / I'll make you dream of me at night / for your love

interlude (minus)
01:35

the days were delightful and the hours were light / particularly when one was on one's own / and woke up in the middle of the night / never less alone than when alone
mornings which dawn dim but not quite white / if paler than paper, ivory or bone / promised the gorgeous sights of trite daylight / never less alone than when alone
the shape of the day, its realistic rite / depends upon which way the dice are thrown / from right to left, or it might be, left to right / but never less alone than when alone
conceived in the depths but born upon the height / where the mountains of tomorrow shone / the soul may take its solitary flight / never less alone than when alone

loreley
03:47
|

|
floating on the open sea / just my little ship and me / and from heaven drips a choir / catch' me with piano-wire / every note gives me a shock / pulls me closer to the rock / I can't win but I will try / shouting at the open sky / tell me lore- loreley / is it you who holds me tight? / with you gorgeous hook and eye / and a voice that made me cry
I'm a puppet on a string / hoist my sails in evil wind / and my brain wants to take part / but there's a captain in my heart / lighthouse shines in strawberry-blonde / shows me everything I want / and it feels absolutely wrong / but I keep fighting her song / loreley, there's land in sight / let me ask you this upright / is one moment by your side / really worth a suicide?
loreley I'm gonna die / my ship is swallowed by the tide / even though you won't reply / I hope you heard my battle-cry

a perfume
03:25

darling come with me / to lonely places like in documentaries / lets hunt with polar bears / lets sing on ice bergs where unheard voices freeze / I'm gonna pluck the silence / distill its blossom and then make a perfume of it / so we can take a noseful / everytime were sick but cant afford to say no
darling come with me / where millions of dollars are useless after all / where we can finally breathe / and stop smashing our heads against the wall / I'm gonna pluck the silence / distill its blossom and then make a perfume of it / so we can take a noseful / everytime were sick but cant afford to say no
like it or believe it / the bite is worse than the bark / she asked if she could ask me something but there was no question mark / she went: I dont care about you being bitter / you can snarl at the one by one / but dont act surprised if once they stop you running riot with your shot gun

maybe tomorrow
04:47
|

I'd be honest if i didnt fear your laugh / and those emerypapervoices coming back / and I would stand up if I wasnt afraid of heights / I could trip and fall and even break my neck / so maybe tomorrow / maybe tomorrow / I think tomorrow I'll begin to try
I would speak up if I wasnt as short as time / and if I knew where to put my shaky hands / and I'd say yes but I have never heard them ask / if they asked I'm sure I wouldnt miss that chance / but maybe tomorrow / maybe tomorrow / I think tomorrow I'll begin to try
sure, tomorrow I'm gonna stand up at four o'clock in the morning / I'm gonna have a healthy breakfast and then I go outide / into the forrest where I can breathe in that fresh air I've heard about on tv / and then I'll write love letters / love letters to each and every girl I have ever adored / whole books of compliments that wouldnt come across my lips / and after that I'm gonna travel the world / travel the world and visit all the places I have always pretended to know / I'll find the time / I'll forget the sorrow / I'll find the guts / at the latest tomorrow

interlude (an alien)
01:47
|
|||
|
a petal drifted lose / from a great magnolia bloom / your face hung in the gloom / floating white and close / we seemed alone / but another bent over you with lips of flame / unknown without a name / hated and yet my brother / your one short moan of pain / was an exorcising spell / the devil flew back to hell / we were alone again / pain / we were alone again / pain / we were alone again

on the quiet
04:07
|
|||
|
I already hear your handmade china heart hitting the ground / burst to thousand pieces with an earpiercing sound / so I'm not really sure if I should show you what i have found / does staring at each other make our heartbeat synchronize / she asked: do you think these colors all look different in all eyes? / and I'm not really sure if that sounds foolish or very wise
in my song she sleeps tonight / goes along in peace and quiet / on the quiet / on the quiet
I cut her into pieces and then hide her in a song / a lovely little melody that still feels kind of wrong / cause I'm not really sure if i could ask you to sing along / her laughter is the chorus to a long and bitter verse / her lips are precious poetry without speaking a word / but I'm not really sure if I'm allowed to steal a kiss from her
in my song she sleeps tonight / goes along in peace and quiet / on the quiet / on the quiet
from time to time the echoes of her perfume cross my way / I chase them through my mind trying hard to make them stay / cause I am not really sure if i am happy they'll fade away / I'm not really sure if I am happy you'll fade away

we take drugs when we are bored / we dont need to be adored / you told us to follow since we were young / you told us to follow since we were young / now we take drugs when we are bored
we take drugs when we are bored / we dont need to be adored / if everyone's unique then I'm the only one who's not / if everyone's unique, I'm the one who is not / so we take drugs when we are bored
I met a girl in the waiting room / her eyes were red but still in bloom / ignorance is bliss I said / she only shrugged and shook her head / wake up / fit in / work / dont complain / love hate / hate love / just play the game / well you could earn a living but you wont learn how to live / in the end well die alone / nothing left of what weve grown / and even if it sounds unfair / the universe wont even care
so we take drugs when we are bored / we dont need to be adored / if everyones unique then I'm the only one who's not / if everyone's unique, I'm the one who is not / now we take drugs when we are bored
