Hey You, silver spoon You're a sad sad song You're a sing-along You're a sunny day and you oughta run away 'cause you're a silver spoon you're a golden moon Hey you wild horse Time is on your tail Pretty angel hair Melancholy eyes You're an orphaned sun You're a castaway You're a golden moon And it's a lost sky with a spiral daylight And it's a night sky with a golden nightlight And she's an orphan washed out at the tide line And she's alone now at the dark horizon And her desires are reflected in the fire fled down from the golden moon She's alive at the golden moon Turn on the nightlight Turn on the firelight Turn on the flashlight Turn on the firefly Crystals in the night sky Reflections in the water light Reflections of your body Shadows of my minds eye

Paintress 04:56
I think it's time that he go home The folks down here they've all built glass on stone The girls they drink and smoke alone Once a paintress now a working girl I can see it in her eyes She finds it hard to look up at the sky It reminds her of a girl Who once thought that she could rule the world I will hold your hand and take you there I will keep you safe from suicide 'Cause it's the final piece of the recipe And you are beautiful in spite of everything And we don't have anything to believe in You're a goddess, you're a queen, you're a woman He's preserving seventeen She took him in the sand, unleash me It's never silent in her mind now Afraid to love too much, in fear of not loving enough I will rescue you from boredom I'll undress you in the backseat 'Cause it's the final piece of the recipe And you are beautiful in spite of everything And we don't have anything to believe in You're a goddess, you're a queen, you're a woman I would love you in my nightmare Lose our purity at twilight 'Cause it's the final piece of the recipe And you are beautiful in spite of everything And we don't have anything to believe in You're a goddess, you're a queen, you're a woman

Tell me what you want me to be I'll be it Tell me what you need me to be I'll be it Despite my attempts at individuality Tell me what you want me to be Don't you worry 'bout a thing I'm on it Don't you take responsibility I got it You're shoulders lookin' light of anger and paralysis I can be your sense of sanity But don't expect a dialog Your epilogue This episode is paranoid Say goodbye And I see you more in '57 Such a common girl, firm plasticity So certain to give credence to a heaven It's so porcelain She's so delicate Teach me what you want me to be I'll be it Teach me what you need me to be I'll be it Regardless of my distaste for authority Teach me what you want me to Don't expect a dialog You violate my tidal line I'm paranoid No goodbye And I see you more in '57 Such a common girl, firm plasticity So certain to give credence to a heaven It's so porcelain She's so delicate She's fine In Time

He said to the TV there'll be no tomorrow night He plead with the radio there'll be no tomorrow night He high on the dial there'll be no tomorrow night a forgone conclusion So take it off in your elegance intrusion, collusion collusion Who do you think that you are when you talk to me? He said to the banker there'll be no tomorrow night She's a fashionista There'll be no tomorrow night Shed your material There'll be no tomorrow night and it's gone Move on Fallen society in its elegance In motion In between your eyes where the sun lies In between your eyes where the sun lies In between your eyes where the sun lies In between your eyes where the sun lies In between your eyes where the sun lies In between your eyes where the sun lies In between your eyes where the sun lies In between your eyes where the sun lies Who do you think that you are when you talk to me? You're a child You're a god I'm so in awe of your elements It's written In between your eyes where the sun lies In between your eyes where the sun lies In between your eyes where the sun lies In between your eyes where the sun lies

Breakdown from the countdown sat down sat down with the party grease in your hair I look around, no friends in the corners I look down, no shame no borders Call my number, call my mind to your energy You gotta sexy sexy piece of the recipe Back down from the countdown sat down She gets up and falls right to the floor This is the time permission, elation, foundation Grant me the night I only will ask you this time I'm not a fool I crawl through landmines I see the light I feel your infinite touch I really want to be there The party is all greased in your hair (Look down no Shame no Borders) I really want to be there The party is all greased in your hair (Look down no Shame no Borders) I really want to be there The party is all greased in your hair (Look down no Shame no Borders) I really want to be there The party is all greased in your hair (Look down no Shame no Borders) Infinite night You take me in your car AM flight, after midnight Crown me with kingdoms and then I want to be god Comfort me with love and then I wanna live on a farm I really want to be there The party is all greased in your hair (Look down no Shame no Borders) I really want to be there The party is all greased in your hair (Look down no Shame no Borders) I really want to be there The party is all greased in your hair (Look down no Shame no Borders) I really want to be there The party is all greased in your hair (Look down no Shame no Borders)
