Down On The Street

Down on the street

With a basic shine

Floatin' around on

A real low mind

I see a pretty thing

In a wall

I see a pretty thing

In a wall




 

Yeah, deep in the night

I'm lost in love

Yeah, deep in the night

I'm lost in love

Thousand eyes (lives?lies?)

Look at you

Thousand eyes (lives?lies?)

Look at you



 

Come on come on come on

Yeah

Come on come on come on come on

This is shine

Real low mind

Real low mind

I'm real low mind

Real low mind

The Stooges

Of course we know

The streets are just blankets and we sleep on their silky corpse
Covered up by them, why would we ever want to wake up?
Oh, no






Well, of course, of course, of course, of course
Of course we just do not know








What in hell are we here for?
We just do not know

 

 Lord lay down, Lord lay down, Lord lay down your own damn soul

The end is like cotton that we wear wherever we go
Covered up by this, why would we ever want to try on your clothes?







Well of course, of course, of course, of course
Of course we just do not know

 

Lord lay down, Lord lay down, Lord lay down your own damn soul
Lord lay down, Lord lay down, Lord lay down your only son






Of course we know

The Last Mistake

I haven’t seen you in so long

And I think that's wrong

And I think that's wrong

This problem needs to be addressed

It's really for the best

It's really for the best

We'll be a family again

No one to steal you from my grasp

They'll bury you right next to me

We'll be together at long last

If I can't have you, then nobody can

I hope you understand

I hope you understand

I have your interests in my heart

Never to be apart

Never to be apart

We'll be a family again

No one to steal you from my grasp

They'll bury you right next to me

We'll be together at long last

The last mistake you ever made

Was trusting me

Was trusting me

Now close your eyes, my precious child

And I will set you free

I will set you free

We'll be a family again

No one to steal you from my grasp

They'll bury you right next to me

We'll be together at long last

The Dream Song

 

Desperate in my sleep

Like I'd lost something

When I woke I found

It was just a dream

Dusk was coming down

The house makes no sound

Funny how a dream

It can make you weak

So I became the king

The king of all things weak

And I wrote a song

About all things I need

Will I have a house?

Will I be a star?

What would people think

If I didn't make it far?

Funny how a dream

It can make you weak

Just a simple dream

It can make you weak

Come back home Suzanne

Cos it's getting bleak

Your boy has become

The king of all things weak

Come back home Suzanne

Come and make it ok

It was simple dream I know

But it won't go away

It was simple dream I know

But it won't go away.

This Isn't Maybe

This isn’t sometimes
This is always

This isn’t maybe
This is always









This is love
The real beginning of forever

Apparitions

In the night, we run around in the streets

Jack up on life in hell

Thunder love has struck us again

Where apparitions are the sinful spell

Elude the harsh reality of our lands

We saw tears and tragedy

Rejoin the back of rebel angels at night

Like apparitions of an infantry

Let’s get out of here

Want you to come along

Let’s get out of here

Want you to come along

In the sunless days of war

I was a young pilot strewing death

I see tears and frightened eyes

Put them to sleep till I was out of breath

A silhouette of jealousy in the sky

I took revenge on love nightly

I’ll take a hard look back someday

And deny war apparitions of sympathy

The Raveonettes

Be mine

Take all my money

Take all my time

Take all the stars that hang above me

Be mine!

Take all my tears

Covet my eyes

Take what you need

To make you love me

Be mine!

If I could be that stranger

And knock you off your feet

Make amends for the lies I've told

And put an end to our deceit

If I could feel

No danger

I'd be all out war

Trade excuses for promises

That I can't keep anymore

Take all my money

Take all my time

Take all the stars that hang above me

Be mine!

Take all my tears

Covet my eyes

Take what you need

To make you love me

Be mine!

And didn't i try

Hard enough to fool you

Didn't i try

Hard enough to fail

Didn't i try

Hard enough to read between the lines

As this moment set sail...

Take all my money

Take all my time

Take all the stars that hang above me

Be mine!

Take all my tears

Covet my eyes

Take what you need

To say you love me

Be mine!

The Heavy

Early in the mornin'

Well I’m never goin back, to that country again,

If I live for a long, long time,

Where my guitar played itself, leanin by the wall,

It give me a worried mind





 

Well it’s early, in the mornin,

Got my Sunday clothes,

I been out,

The side of the road,





 

Out where the four winds blow

When I lived there I was superstitious,

I felt like I was bout to die,

Knew every day, like I’d lived it before,

The Devil in the corner of my eye

Well it’s early, in the mornin,

Got my Sunday clothes,

I been out,The side of the road,

Out where the four winds blow

Lord that dirt road long…. empty,

The fields, dark at night,

Ain’t nothin for a person to do

‘tween dusk, and the break o’ daylight

Well it’s early, in the mornin,

Got my Sunday clothes,

I been out,

The side of the road,

Out where the four winds blow.
