1.
Lion’s Bridge Dreaming about Lion’s Bridge Where they hung us down by our legs Until our heads hit the water’s edge And whatever else Where just for something like luck We stepped behind the building’s for a fuck And crossed our eyes as the city sighed And, oh, what have I done? Though I’m not done And I’m not alone And I’m— Out on Lion’s Bridge Don’t turn away so easily I swore I’d find you I swore I’d find you there Out on Lion’s Bridge
2.
If You Must Dance [Do So Darkly] You are the last of the black haired girls Sweet as a smile with blood in your mouth Turn on the night We can’t be sure of anything in this life Paint your face, let’s give them a smile Blind love crazy as hell in the moonlight From my mouth, pull out any word you’d like For you I’d pray for darkness, I’d pray for fire And if you must dance, I’ll be there to spin you around If the moment takes your mind If you must dance, do so darkly For the time to take your side, it is upon me And if the evil’s on your mind Once or twice, the dark side’s been a friend of mine Turn out the light With your laugh we’ll choke the stars out of the sky This condition: love’s my superstition Turn the crosses upside down, turn me on We come alive Oh, in the night
3.
Makes You Lovely How fast can you run? Is it faster than The scent of blood? They are upon us, they are— And all you’ve seen It makes you lovely To feel this feeling It gives us hope, in some way And don’t be so Sincere My dear Or they will tear the skin From our bones I know All you’ve seen, all you’ve been It makes you lovely
4.
Heat of the Night In the cocaine morning with the white sun up through the trees Icy arms they reach as we watch from the rooftops deep in the breeze Where down below the children are covered in sleep What do you see? Am I good or am I marked by the beast? When I’m gone please remember me Bury my ashes in the backyard under a tree Say no prayers in my name All to dust, all to blood, my god, it’s all the same It wasn’t a kiss She walked up to me and put her lips to my wrist What did it mean Is my fortune good? We’ve got no claim to this limitation We just walked on by We’ve got no say in their war on the world We just disappear to the hear of the night Hey Little Sins I’m all but done with you Your laughter down the hall Rattling my bone through and through And if I ever had a lover, there’s no other That much was true You, scared like death Loving me until I’ve gone blue Name the place you want to go To the center of the world Then the sun comes to swallow me Or else this icy morning’s gonna be my grave It wasn’t a kiss She walked up to me and put her lips to my wrist What did it mean Is my fortune good? We’ve got no say in their war on the world We just disappear to the hear of the night Oh, I’ll be a fool only for you
5.
We Are Pedestrians We are coming down the mountain This time we won’t close our eyes At the first signs Of the city sprawled out wide We will ride With our arms raised high No more bad news I will not subscribe No more pain It’s our time to try And I’m sorry for dying young But we will grow old and strong I’m sorry for dying young But we must carry on We are pedestrians Transitory in our time Walking slowly toward Our own light And the screams in your head They might be angels Instead of demons And the screams in your bed They’re there to hold you Instead of drive you mad And I’m sorry for dying young But we will grow old and strong I’m sorry for dying young But we must carry on We are pedestrians And the past is just a blank slate of glass For every glance you take You take three steps back And after all… We will laughing one day After all that has happened And I’m sorry for dying young But we will grow old and strong
6.
In Your Twilight Reinventing your tragedy Or whatever, it is It means The thing she scratched in her ceiling I’m far from clean And there he is Outside past the screen And the streetlight spilling green On the bed like it’s the end of something Shattered Her skin and chlorine And if one hundred years today You remembered one thing— This is how it feels Like sheets to the sin As the engines do their thing And the radio screams It’s the end of something that has always been Shattered Now I’m outside In your twilight, outside Shine on me If the street is empty If the lights are low Through the window, we’ll crawl And I’ll break on you If you shine and answer Out loud On me
7.
We Two Are 04:08
We Two Are We Two Are Bleeding hearts, we are Opened wounds And it’s true My love, my soul is yours to burn Anytime you choose Call the officials on me Send them here for me My thoughts they are not sane Plastic snakes in my garden To keep the evil shapes away A scarecrow in my garden To keep all evil in its place Call the devil on me Summon him here for me My thoughts, they are so strange Call the devil on me bring him up here for me I am not afraid I want you Nineteen again In that old house Tied down to that bed It’s sick they say The things gone on inside our heads But between us two its beautiful They need not understand Will you stay here Until the storm breaks? Call the Lord upon me Bring him down here for me I have gone astray Call the Lord upon me Cast him down here on me I do not fear his name

Arrow 03:33
Arrow We’ve only got five minutes before I’m gone Whatever it is that your thinking You’d better let me know Who you’re gonna be, what you’re gonna see When you’re off And that’s all right This is only a part of tonight So, give me an arrow A straight shot You know that all I’ve been thinking about was One day you’re gonna let it out With your love of life And your hate of everything alive So paint me into that picture In the corner sitting and thinking That’s all right This is only a part of life So, give me an arrow A straight shot So, if you find something to hold You’d better wrap yourself around it and never let it go And that’s all right This is only a part of tonight So, give me an arrow A straight shot You know that all I’ve about you was One day you’re gonna go and never stop
9.
These Are the Rooms If these ceiling could speak we wouldn’t need a T.V. With so much life having gone on beneath Some old brown eyes that once stared above Whispering thoughts about getting on And traveling places we’ll never know And inside we’re doing it all again Fucked up like we’ve always been We’re lucky we stand but it’s all right We do it all the time and we’re by fine The faces framed on your wall They laugh at your from your view As you talk yourself into corners Of places you once knew And I learned about you by going through your things When your back was turned and my eyes wandering Pictured tacked on the wall, from five years ago When there was less of you to know When it was hard and long to think These are the rooms where we pick up our lives in the morning With whatever light comes through The bedroom window in white shapes that have Nothing to do with me or you So, who will see you off to work Walking snowed sidewalks Disbelieving in the telephone poles Cause you hear the word the heart too much Muttered on the radio by some fuck As you close your eyes and count your knives And try to make it all all right And it’s been hard and long to think These are the rooms where we push off our days in the evening With whatever light comes through The bedroom window in white shapes that have Nothing to do with me or you What could have been, don’t ever tell You don’t know now and you never will
10.
Raise Your Love Been a bad, bad man Home late with a blank cathedral stare Sold the old car in the middle of the dark As we watched you, through the shades We will raise your love from the dead Behind the hospitals and schools Killing parts of yourself you could have used And what you said, Fuck Everything You mean everything in sight And when you screamed, sometimes, you could die You meant tonight And if you’ve never fallen before We’ll believe you, once you do We will raise your love from the dead
