This Girl's Theme

Where did she go?
Not much like the girl who chose to sell her whole
Black hair, brown eyes, circled round with mascara lines
Frowns and sighs, faded in light
Down side allies in the night time...
Where did she go? Where did she...GO?
Where did she go...
When she don’t know?
Where did he go?
A down-time toucher of all that turns to gold
Straight head, lips tight
Pretend colors for a pretend life
Boot black: come day or night
Always on show, Never alright!
Hands held only so high,
‘Cos that’s the latest in a long, thin line
Man-child forgets the light
And trades the truth for an old lie
Where did he go? (Do you know?) Where did he… GO?
Where did he go...
When he don’t know?
Sometimes it’s all lies, but I don’t know why
We bring down heaven, right into our eyes
It’s all lies, It’s all lies, that lie between the lines
Why?
Do you know why?

Hey kids
You know me
I told you
How to be
What to say
And where to go
Where do you go when you don’t know? When you don’t know?
He kids, you been sold out
The Radionsells, you buy
You been sold now
We’ve been sold now
The Radio never lies!
Cold information
It will tear your love in two...station to station!
Le radio, le radio, le radio, le radio… NOW

Make Up

Wash your hair in mother's milk
Dye it clean in baby's blood
Secret visits to a place in town
No mother's creed to wear you down
Quiet shy girl on her last thrill
It was a clean kill
To shake away and take away
The cuss word whispers in your hair
So have a care
To leave a note to wake up
(x,x)
So much nothing going 'round in this small town
We've seen the house-beaten wives with the factory night lives
And the life lost between the car and the bar gate
(you never know when it's too late)
And still a sound on the side of the last door
Left crack'd open enough for seekers to be fooled
And all God "lovers" in Sunday School
Say
That she's a one, made in make up, in make up!
"Speaking to me words of release,
and so disease me with your Golden Ease…"
Sometimes
Never
In a time, and time unknown
Always
Forever,
We click our heels…
But we never…
Get home…

Diamonds Are Forever

Someone’s going down in flames tonight
Come silence, come empty, come dark
I never let the wheels touch the white lines
So why must it seem everything I touch falls apart
Just take it all, I can afford to leave it
I rode the swell, I lived through hell
to be near… near you
to be near… near you
It’s been so long now, the pain has gone
And the numbness has stretched from my head to my heart
Your ghost never haunts in the night anymore
But your voice no longer keeps me...
...Awake at night
I will not let you move me
I rode the swell, I lived through hell to be near you
Just take it all, I can afford to lose it
I’ll ride the swell, I’ll drink the hell
To be near you
To be near you
To be near you
To be...
