lyrics

am I really blue
or is life just grey
am I really happy
there wasn't any bad news today
I want a comet
to fall off track
and smash right into
this town
I want to feel the fear
prick my skin
glee filled bloody rush
and there's a girl on her knees
divergent screams
of pleasure and of pain
I'm no optimist or masochist
just want one day to be kissed
by god


and if it takes a train wreck
to be scared to death
then put the penny on the rail
and if it takes a train wreck
to be scared to death
then I'll be that coin that tips the scale


these days come and they go
so maybe I'll wake up, and feel again tomorrow

even if it's hollow, there's still some on the surface
that will show

I want the sky to fill my face
with so much blood in the brain
enlightenment feels so close
insane
that you aren't, you're only mad
with the youth you never had
and if this narcissistic liason will
cure the ache but for one brief reprieve
I don't mind
I don't mind


your kimono sash is loosened, wrapped & primed

white face
just above
a loose hair unfurls
I smile and tell you more
pull it tighter
pull it tighter
pull it tighter
and now I'm home

and if it takes a train wreck
to be scared to death
then put the penny on the rail
and if it takes a train wreck
to be scared to death
then I'll be that coin that tips the scale

the color springs, now seeing everything
I'll pass the exile unto you
carry home, carry on
keep just but a trophy head
phoenix up and don't wince when the blade cuts through
the former you is dead

"What do you get when folk music gets drunk, and inadvertently confuses Shoegazey Ambient Electronica for it's normal fuck buddy, rock music, booty calls SAE at two in the morning, forgets to wear a condom, and gets SAE pregnant?
You get Radio Wire Empire." - Tramps Upstairs
