Servants Of The Air
I've been drifting 'cross the heavens
Like a supersonic wraith
And the codes I've been transmitting
Went unnoticed into space

There were times I thought I saw you
Like a beacon from afar
Guess I never really knew you
But I sensed just what you are

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

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
Your sadness and longing
The place we're never going
You know I need it just as much

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

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 been afraid to admit it
What it is I'm trying to find
All 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 these days
There's just one place I belong

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

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 to love her
Lost in my delusions
Guess I didn't see
She never needed me

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

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 my feet again
I know that my love will never be the 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 that very moment
She was something I never would survive
Forces of nature that can't be denied

I had watched her from a distance
Starry eyes and silver hands
Never thoughts she'd ever notice
Guess I'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 go away
The shadow of Venus
Covers my tracks in the sun
They will fade away
Long before it's all said and done

Like a glowing fence, shutting out
Feelings raw and new
If I could, I 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 I had it made this time around
I was waiting for the 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 the darkness in
High after the ritual
Our bodies craving more
It was all 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 most of these final hours
Don't look back
We all know that it's 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)
