Monkey shines
Snow capped strangers
Blind folded we hold hands
Going nowhere and far
A signpost empty
I forget who I am
No road is forever dear friend
So dangerous
This place inside you
Lantana honey on my tongue
Tastes like winter but warm inside
Ah - I will dress red for you
I forget who I am
No road is forever dear friend
So dangerous
This place inside you
Now I forget who I am
The red sun
Glacier melts
Inside my mouth
Heart and lung
I belong to you now
So dangerous
This place inside you
I forget who I am
No road is forever dear friend
Like cars and foreign places
We lose ouselves here
So dangerous
This place we've found

Phoenix

Loss of your heart
You fall into danger
A hawksept boy
Two moons around him
I watch him break the dawn this morning
He's all I needed
He's all I've wanted
For a new day will rise
We meet the dawn with sleepless eyes
Don't we love
I trace the lines around your eyes
Try to recognize the signs
North wind is cold today
Ain't it love
This place I waited all day for you
Rainjacket pulled over your head
Your face is all agrin
My lovers like the sun
He's come to warm me
Thaw this ice
It goes right through
To the core in me
For a new day will rise
We meet the dawn with sleepless eyes
Don't we love
I trace the places you have been in me
Come my love only you can
Thaw this ice to me now
And a new day has come
You lose your heart
And forget about danger
And you, my wildest love
You fly the phoenix way, don't you
You're too high for me now
Heaven's above
We can't go wrong
Angels watching us
I'm sure of it
Angels are watching us
Just crash your body with mine love
It won't be long now

Distant mountains
Cause his heart to race
Race
Your wings in flight
Dark and sharp
Asphalt road
Headed for a head on
Collision with love
I could sense it
I could taste it a mile off
Hold me, hold me with your eyes
Hold me, hold me with your eyes
We drive on in the dark
Gas station
You smoke a cigarette
And she's dancing like diamonds
The wind is wild
But you are wilder love
Dangerous place in me you've found
Dangerous place
Headed for a head on
Collision with love
I could sense it
I could taste it a mile off
The lights of your eyes
The wind is wild
Headed for a head on
Collision with love
I dress lightly
So you see the curves in me
We drive on in the dark
We drive on in the dark
Dangerous place you've found in me

Knotted
05:12
|

Dirt road
Row edges of you
Last sun has cought you
And framed you love
Like waking up
I imagine my escape with you
A mountain peak cracked open
I don't know how to move
My hands still knotted
And my belly
It burns with desire
Harsh the wind
And harsh your mouth love
Stormy seas I live for it now
A restless head a restless heart
A silver thread
To catch my love upon
My hands still knotted
And my belly
It burns with desire
What's this fire
In your eyes, love
I want my lover pure still
Want him come take his fill

All Of This
03:31
|

All of this
Is yours
You can lose yourself here
Your name bursts inside my mouth
I will never be the same
I will never be the same
For your love it leaves a stain in me
I am stunned
By your beauty
I am quivering
Now my life's begun
Speak to me
With tongues of angels
Return to me
At night
I will never be the same
For your love it leaves a stain in me
I know you've been wild before now
Won't try to tame you
The tangled hair of you
Just lay me down now
Lay me down now
Lay me down
All of this
Is yours
You can lose yourself here
I'm an elk and you're a deer
we have our differences
I am all yours love
I am all yours love
Lay me down
Lay me down here
Let me hear
The lose change in your pocket
Lay me down
Lay me down
Lay me down here

Glow
04:46
|

Unfold myself
Eyes wide and liquid
Awaken by falling
While you sleep
I pour myself into you
Speak with angels
They know you
Can hardly speak
Can hardly make sense of
All that has happened lately
As I fall in the dark
Things so beautiful
Only seen at night
For only you I will fall
Things so beautiful
Only seen at night
This landscape of you
The glow in you
See at night
All I am is in your hands now
Take whatever you may find here
Find me out here
I'm wide awake
Fear of falling too hard
Can hardly speak
Can hardly make sense of
All that has happened lately
As I fall in the dark
Things so beautiful
Only seen at night
For only you I will fall
Things so beautiful
Only seen at night
As I fall in the dark
Things so beautiful
Only glow at night
For only you I will fall
Things so beautiful
Only glow at night
I fall into him
I fall into him
I fall into him

Diamond Horseshoe
03:48
|

You shine with coals inside
Like diamond horseshoe
Dying for you now
Dying for you now
And when you move
You remind me of all things
Chaos and anarchy
Come warm me now
With your hot hands
I'll break like China cups
Falling to the sound of autumn leaves
Spread by your wings
And when the bullets lie
And when the daggers fly
I'll be there to watch
A panther to her prey
To deepen the wound in you
To find your heart again
To find your heart again
Keep you breathing
I'll break like China cups
Falling to the sound of autumn leaves
I'll break like China cups
Falling to the sound of autumn leaves
Spread by your wings
Your shining things
Spread by your wings
Your shining things

29 Poisons
05:42

If you don't come
Rescue me soon
If you don't come
Take me away soon
Twenty-nine poisons
Try to keep my mind from you
But only your sweet love
Finds in me the cure
You light a spark
Where others saw danger
Forever more I belong to this stranger
A shot in the dark
You cure me
You still my trembling heart
You cure me
A shot in the dark
You still me
You cure my trembling heart
You still me
So wake up
I'm wanting to go
Far far away with you
And maybe there
We can lose our shadows
Twenty-nine poisons
Try to keep my mind from you
But only your sweet love
Finds in me the cure
You light a spark
Where others saw danger
Forever more I belong to this stranger
A shot in the dark
You cure me
You still my trembling heart
You cure me
A shot in the dark
You cure me
You still my trembling heart
You cure me

Deer
04:45
|

Hunters seeking clues
Tracks are fresh
Swift to the kill
Deep into it
You'll lose all sense
He goes by touch
Deciphering
Broken codes in me
I don't know how to move
This state I'm in
Hold fast my beating heart
Here's a deer amongst the hunted
A gentle anarchist who knows no fear
See, I'm an elk and you're a deer
Hunter you've found the clue
Silver lines around his eyes
The sprawling fawn
Try not to speak
Caught by his eyes
It was blood on ice
I don't know how to move
This state I'm in
Hold fast my beating heart
Here's a deer amongst the hunted
A gentle anarchist who knows no fear
See, I'm an elk and you're a deer
Hold fast my beating heart
Here's a deer amongst the hunted
A gentle anarchist who knows no fear
See, I'm an elk and you're a deer
Warm is the mouth
That feeds
You love
And his heart
Beat so loud
It's all
I'm wanting now

Stardust
05:40
|

I'm the girl with sad eyes
You're the boy with warm hands
It all makes sense doesn't it
I hear a ricochet did
Almost touch the radar
Underneath you dress me
Undress me tonight
Stardust
Falls on us
Stardust
Falls on us
Destiny unfolds in me
Stretching out her arms
You can fold me in the middle obscene
Sex a dress I try on
Loves and kitten and God
You're a bomb
About to go off in me
Stardust
Falls on us
Stardust
Falls on us
Stardust
Falls on us
Stardust
Falls on us
Stardust
Falls on us
Stardust
Falls on us
Dust becomes of us
We become dust
Just becomes of us
I become like dust
Just becomes of us
I'm like that
Dust becomes of us
We become dust
Just becomes of us
I am one of us
I'm like that
Can come between us
Dust becomes of us
We become like dust

Your love
A foreign
Landscape
Your mouth
The colour
Of Rubies
Your words
They cut
Right through me
I wouldn't have it
Any other way
Just stay
Sometimes
You feel so far away
My love I beg you
To stay with me
Your love's like a bullet
Your love
Your love's like a bullet
Your love
Like a bullet
Your love
Your love
An arid landscape
The wells dry
The water is dirty
Filthy like the grin
You wear at night
I wouldn't have it
Any other way
Just stay
Sometimes
You feel so far away
My love I beg you
To stay with me
Your love's like a bullet
Your love's like a bullet
Your love
Your love's like a bullet
Your love
Your love's like a bullet
Your love
Your love's like a bullet
Your love
It goes right through me
Oh your love it goes right through

Tundra, fjords and ice
A small silent man
The lines on his hands change
I'll unravel him
You're stolen me with love
I'd have given it anyway
A mountain top
No need for air
Keep me breathing
So high here
You're stolen me with love
I'd have given it anyway
You're stolen me with love
I'd have given it anyway
I cried into his beard
A wolfman into beard
Melt into your hands
Suck into your mouth
GHOSTLIKE (hidden track)
Small people
Ways of escape
Lost highway
Telegraph wires
To the sky
I woke up
Closed my eyes
Watched you
Walk away
Can hardly
Remember
Falling
You're sending me
Feeling like you do
I walked all night
A long tangled road
Led back to you
Sun comes
Illuminate
Tie her to the bedpost
Leave her most of the day
Write your name here
I lose you
Just the same
Can hardly remember
Falling
I can't start again
I can't start again
I stand and say it
Under a bullet sky tonight
Under a bullet sky tonight
