Servants Of The Air |
I've been drifting 'cross the heavens
Like a supersonic wraith
And the codes I've been transmitting
Went unnoticedâ
intoâ
space
There were timesâ
I thought I saw you
Like aâ
beacon from afar
Guess I never really knew you
But I sensedâjustâwhatâyou are
And asâthe light returnsâto guide us
I feel your presence everywhere
Despite the darkness still inside us
We will still remain the servants of the air
I trawl the frequencies of distance
I scan the altitudes of myth
I search the shallow for the essence
Before I enter the abyss
Guess I'm ready for departure
Although something holds me down
Like an echo from out farther
Where the living still abound
And as the light returns to guide us
I feel your presence everywhere
Despite the darkness still inside us
We will still remain the servants of the air
Words like a sudden rapture
From the unconscious deep
Twisting my dull perception
From years of debauchery
Spheres from the arch galactic
Traces the hidden hand
Touches the once ecstatic
Where longing refused to bend
During those endless nights of silence
Stardust erupted
From the distant thought of you
And as the light returns to guide us
I feel your presence everywhere
Despite the darkness still inside us
We will still remain the servants of the air

Divinyls |
If I'll ever see my story change
For something better
I will climb those stairs tonight
If the seas would part and the sun goes down
Through nasty weather
I would bring out what's inside
Well I know it's empty now
Though there's so much you have longed for
Won't you show me how to forget?
Tell me is it far, now I'm in the dark
Waiting for the light to change
Glancing at the stars, living by your own
Is it time to break the chains?
Now I'm in the dark, making my own mark
Waiting for the world to quake
Tell me is it far, now I'm in the dark
Waiting for the light to change
In this moment I can sense a smell
Of broken feathers
Wings might be clipped, but I still see, oh
Well I know it's empty now
Though there's so much you have longed for
Won't you show me how to forget?
Tell me is it far, now I'm in the dark
Waiting for the light to change
Glancing at the stars, living by your own
Is it time to break the chains?
Now I'm in the dark, making my own mark
Waiting for the world to quake
Tell me is it far, now I'm in the dark
Waiting for the light to change
Dreams of sound, my world spinning around
But tonight it'll be over, come take my hand
Tell me is it far, now I'm in the dark
Waiting for the light to change
Glancing at the stars, living by your own
Is it time to break the chains?
Now I'm in the dark, making my own mark
Waiting for the world to quake
Tell me is it far, now I'm in the dark
Waiting for the light to change
Tell me is it far, now I'm in the dark
Waiting for the light to change

If Tonight Is Our Only Chance |
Whenever you hold me
The dreams you never told me
I sense them every time we touch
Yourâ
sadnessâ
and longing
The placeâ
we're never going
You know I needâ
it just as much
If tonight if our only chance
We'll takeâit
Ifâtonightâif our onlyâchance
We'll try it
Ifâtonight is our only chance
We will make it tonight, you and I
If tonight is our only chance
The silence you're fearing
Those acts of disappearing
Still sheltered from the world outside
If tonight if our only chance
We'll take it
If tonight if our only chance
We'll try it
If tonight is our only chance
We will make it tonight, you and I
If tonight is our only chance
So let the silver in
Like darkness entering
We're still together in the place
Where dreams begin
So let your tears dissolve
Into the evening glow
Tonight's the night and where it ends
No one knows
If tonight if our only chance
We'll take it
If tonight if our only chance
We'll try it
If tonight is our only chance
We will make it tonight, you and I
If tonight if our only chance
We'll take it
If tonight if our only chance
We'll try it
If tonight is our only chance
If tonight is our only chance

This Boy's Last Summer |
I have tried to make myself forget it
Along with the passing of time
But I've beenâ
afraidâ
to admit it
Whatâ
it is I'm trying to find
Allâ
those things I've tried for nothing
Every word I said was a lie
Deep inside I new I was crazy
Waiting for you down the line
Over and over and over again
Through these cheap and dirty thrills
Over and over I've learned
Only true love kills
If those haunted memories enter my mind
Only you can save me this time
Somewhere deep inside
You know you'll always be mine
(It is this boy's, this boy's)
Cruising down the streets of our youth
On this ocean-front avenue
If I show you all of my dreams here tonight
It's this boy's last summer this time
How you can deny, you don't see it
How you're always on my mind
Never lost your grip for a minute
All through every sleepless night
If you just want silence you've got it
But you can't extinguish the light
Everybdoy said I was crazy
Waiting for you down the line
Over and over and over again
Through these cheap and dirty thrills
Over and over I've learned
Only true love kills
If those haunted memories enter my mind
Only you can save me this time
Somewhere deep inside
You know you'll always be mine
Cruising down the streets of our youth
On this ocean-front avenue
If I show you all of my dreams here tonight
It's this boy's last summer this time
Over and over and over again
Through these cheap and dirty thrills
Over and over I've learned
Only true love kills
When those haunted memories enter my mind
Only you can save me this time
Somewhere deep inside
You know you'll always be mine
(It is this boy's, this boy's)
Cruising down the streets of our youth
On this ocean-front avenue
If I show you all of my dreams here tonight
It's this boy's last summer this time

Curves |
Lights descending on the freeway
I'm a million miles from home
But it's different for me theseâ
days
There'sâ
just one placeâ
I belong
Curves, I tried to sayâ
I'm sorry
Curves, I don't know what to do
Curves, I'm here if you still want me
And I'll try to somehow make it up to you
Whoa, to you
I have tried to be a good man
I have tried to make things right
All those epic things I did plan
They aren't helping us tonight
Curves, I tried to say I'm sorry
Curves, I don't know what to do
Curves, I'm here if you still want me
And I'll try to somehow make it up to you
Curves, I tried to say I'm sorry
Curves, I don't know what to do
Curves, I'm here if you still want me
And I'll try to somehow make it up to you
Curves, I tried to say I'm sorry (I'm sorry, sorry, sorry)
Curves, I don't know what to do (woo, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
Curves, I'm here if you still want me
And I'll try to somehow make it up to you

Transmissions |
Icicles of silence
Piercing through my armor
As she slips away
Fleeting like the breeze
Once I tried toâ
loveâ
her
Lost in myâ
delusions
Guess I didn't see
She never neededâ
me
Talk to me
Won't you talk to me?
You're the remedy
For myâstarlessâvisions
Handsâon me
With yourâhands on me
Everyânerve in me
Felt subcellular
Transmissions
She is from an island
Once she wrote a letter
With its name attached
Wishing I was there
And I've watched her sleep
Trusting me to be there
When she's waking up
Skinless and aware
Talk to me
Won't you talk to me?
You're the remedy
For my starless visions
Hands on me
With your hands on me
Every nerve in me
Felt subcellular
Transmissions
But if she was mine
Archipelagic, divine
Distant, yet removed
From space and time
Talk to me
Won't you talk to me?
You're the remedy
For my starless visions
Hands on me
With your hands on me
Every nerve in me
Felt subcellular
Transmissions
Transmissions
Transmissions

Aeromantic |
Touched down like a bullet from an aeroplane
Hot blood got me back up on myâ
feetâ
again
I know thatâ
my love will never be theâ
same
Say that you feel it, say that you feel it, too
Lift off, should have made me kept my common sense
Tough luck that I lost it in the turbulence
In flight, now I guess I'll leave it all to chance
Say that you need it, say that you need it, too
And these tiny wings that halpe me stay afloat
Won't protect me from emotional overload
There is nothing like aeromantics
Aerial rendezvous
Nothing like aeromantics
Say that you feel it
Say that you feel it, too
Midair, guess we're way beyond terrestrial
This time, we'll leave out the existential
One look, and we'll go for what's essential
Say that you need it, say that you need it, too
And these tiny wings that help me stay afloat
Won't protect me from emotional overload
There is nothing like aeromantics
Aerial rendezvous
Nothing like aeromantics
Say that you feel it, too
There is nothing like aeromantics
Aerial rendezvous
Nothing like aeromantics
Say that you feel it, too
In the night
When we're sheltered from the light
Out of touch and just out of sight
I'm aware that the air is alight
And we're going to make it right
There is nothing like aeromantics
Aerial rendezvous
Nothing like aeromantics
Say that you feel it, too
There is nothing like aeromantics
Aerial rendezvous
Nothing like aeromantics
Say that you feel it
Say that you feel it, too

Golden Swansdown |
I never meant for this to happen
Ain't it strange how worlds collide
But I knew thatâ
veryâ
moment
She was somethingâ
I never would survive
Forces of natureâ
that can't be denied
I had watched her from a distance
Starryâeyesâandâsilver hands
Never thoughtsâshe'd ever notice
GuessâI'm blaming magic and circumstance
I'll just surrender and leave it to chance
Covered in golden swansdown
Gently, she stole my heart
Covered in golden swansdown
She knew I was losing right from the start
I never meant for this to happen
But I dreamt from time to time
That I'd find a way to see her
Just so I could leave all those dreams behind
Duly accepting she'd never be mine
Covered in golden swansdown
Gently, she stole my heart
Covered in golden swansdown
She knew I was losing right from the start
There's a light still radiating out of her
Although she is sweetly unaware
As I know I'll never find the proper words
I'll embrace the silence that we share
Covered in golden swansdown
Gently, she stole my heart
Covered in golden swansdown
She knew I was losing right from the start

Taurus |
I hear you breathing
Gently coming my way
Although I need it
In the end it will goâ
away
Theâ
shadow of Venus
Coversâ
my tracks in the sun
They willâ
fade away
Long before it's all said and done
Like a glowingâfence,âshuttingâout
Feelings raw andânew
If I could,âI would say it
No one else but you
And we're torn in the rain
What you shared is mine
Would you feel the change
If you saw the signs?
Is it hard to take
That you're fading out
I'll do the Taurus thing
Waiting down the line
Spare me your feelings
I want death to move on
In this world we made
We both know when it's said and done
If it's all we get, all I felt
Yeah, equals all I knew
No mistaking if we make it
All I want is you
And we're torn in the rain
What you shared is mine
Would you feel the change
If you saw the signs?
Is it hard to take
That you're fading out
I'll do the Taurus thing
Waiting down the line

Carmencita Seven |
I was looking for a girl like you
With your guardian eyes all crystal blue
Thought Iâ
hadâ
it made thisâ
time around
I was waiting for theâ
world to end
With my twisted heart still on the mend
Guess I didn't know where I was bound
You appeared as I was leaving for the other side
Now I've nowhere left to hide
'Cause my heart won't be denied
Carmencita, will I ever be forgiven?
Carmencita, will you stay with me tonight?
Carmencita, take the chance that we've been given
Carmencita, I don't want to take this flight
Not tonight
Carmencita, with your red dress on
There's no chance in hell I will leave alone
I just want to leave it all behind
Carmencita, with your silver hands
There's a chance for me to make amends
If you could believe me this one time
You appeared as I was leaving for the other side
Now I've nowhere left to hide
'Cause my heart won't be denied
Carmencita, will I ever be forgiven?
Carmencita, will you stay with me tonight?
Carmencita, take the chance that we've been given
Carmencita, I don't want to take this flight
Seven days to Carmencita
Seven ways to lose my mind
Seven days to Carmencita
Seven days, and I know, I know I'm going blind
Carmencita, will I ever be forgiven?
Carmencita, will you stay with me tonight?
Carmencita, take the chance that we've been given
Carmencita, I don't want to take this flight
Not tonight

Sister Mercurial |
Sitting outside the temple walls
Right after 2 AM
Hoping for the clouds to part
And let theâ
darknessâ
in
High after theâ
ritual
Our bodies craving more
It was allâ
instinctual
En route to evermore
Sister mercurial, you're in me
Ever unchanging in those starry nights of youth
Sister mercurial, believe me
There will never be another quite like you
I remained terrestrial
You took to the air
I despised the factual
You became aware
And I never will regret
Choosing death when we were young
Somewhere in the stratosphere
You will watch me till I'm done
Done
Sister mercurial, you're in me
Ever unchanging in those starry nights of youth
Sister mercurial, believe me
There will never be another quite like you
Sister mercurial, you're in me
Ever unchanging in those starry nights of youth
Sister mercurial, believe me
There will never be another quite like you

Dead Of Winter |
We're going down
You don't want to face the dawning springtime, now
Try to make the mostâ
ofâ
these final hours
Don'tâ
look back
We all know that it'sâ
too late to turn the tide
Try to shield your eyes, foreign frequencies of light
Luminous as the horizon
I wanted to be free but she keeps on rising
I can almost feel her poison
Ready to burn, soon as she turns
And in the dead of winter
We will come alive
Too late to reconsider
The stars are all aligned
We're going down
We're descending, maybe for the last time
Cherish every glimpse, of the ones you love
Don't look back
I'll remember your illuminated face
Right before the end, it's the only thing I'll see
Luminous as the horizon
I wanted to be free but she keeps on rising
I can almost feel her poison
Ready to burn, soon as she turns
And in the dead of winter
We will come alive
Too late to reconsider
The stars are all aligned
And in the dead of winter
We will come alive
Too late to reconsider
The stars are all aligned
Do you feel the night is calling?
Shelter from the rising sun
Down
And in the dead of winter
We will come alive
Too late to reconsider
The stars are all aligned
And in the dead of winter
In the dead of winter
(The stars are all aligned)
