Silver clouds turn white in the moonshine
Lovers stay awake at night smokin’ in bed
Streetlights warm the world beneath the skyline
Sylvia lies cold outside resting her head
She’s thinking
Which paths are the right ones?
Pray God I survive one
When it’s dark at night, which I’m supposed to go?
I’m lying on the ground, feels like I’ve fallen far below
There are secrets that I never knew
Can you see into me, if I see into you?
Oh, should I wish to be up there?
With the fashion queens, with the sweet sixteens
Remember me and the little girl in my bones
Oh, please call me Sylvia,
Sylvia
Sylvia rests her eyes in the night-time
Dreaming of the very life that she lives today
‘Cause all her friends she’d known are on the breadline
Now she has nowhere to go or a friend to betray
She’s dreamin’
Which paths are the right ones?
Pray God I survive one
I look around to which way I’m supposed to go
Will I make it out before it starts to snow?
There are secrets that I never knew
Do you see right through me, If I see right through you?
Oh, should I wish to be up there?
To make my home on Mars with the movie stars
The world was ours, but at some point you withdrew

I'll Meet You
05:53

Don’t share your crimes
On a sunny day
Don’t move the lines
When we’re on our way
I’m tired of waiting
For you to grow
Toe the line
And I’ll Meet You
Don’t spill your poison
On a happy day
Don’t pass me by
When I’m here to stay
I’m tired of waiting
For you to show
Hold the line
And I’ll Meet You
(Show me the right way)
(Ooh, the right way)
(Oh, show me the right way)
I’m tired of waiting (Show me the right way, Oh I’m tired of waiting)
For you to grow (For you to grow, Oh show me the right way)
Toe the line (Show me the right way)
And I’ll Meet You (And I will meet you)
I’m tired of waiting (Oh so tired of waiting)
For you to show (For you to show)
Hold the line
And I’ll Meet You

Like I Do
04:32

Have you ever tried someone’s life for a day?
Think of everything they wear, think of everything they say
And is it so enlightening to know more in the world than you?
And millions of minds all schemin’ in bed
Sharin’ every single thing with a voice inside their head
But would they find it frightening if we all were listening too?
Do you believe in your life like I do?
Do you see it in kind like I do?
And do your dreams always run behind you?
Do you know your own mind like I do?
And every new day there are faces we know
And we hope they might see into what it is we’d like to show
But do they really know me, and all that I’ve said and done?
We try to find words that we wanted to say
I can see it on your mind but the moment slips away
So we smile politely like our lives have just begun
Do you believe in your life like I do?
Do you see it in kind like I do?
And do your dreams always run behind you?
Do you know your own mind like I do?
Mm, I wonder
Oh, I wonder
The heroes we make come tumblin’ down,
When we’re gazing up at them we’re thinking heavy lies the crown
But I’m smiling lightly cause I kinda know how that feels.
And while dreamers they dream this life is the same,
When the two are far away we see another life to blame
And if you’re listenin’ to me, Oh I wonder what that reveals?
I wonder
I wonder
Do you believe in your life like I do?
And do you see it in kind like I do?
And do your dreams always run behind you?
Do you know your own mind like I do?
Oh, do you believe in your life like I do?
Do you see it in kind like I do?
And do your dreams always run behind you?
Do you know your own mind like I do?

Rolled Up World
03:42

Seven skies meeting at the ‘rizon
Single waves vanish in a pool
Find a new place, everywhere is taken,
Save for the place for the winner
There’s no succour for the fool
Rolled up world
Fold up world
Seasons furled
Sealed up world (sealed up world)
Drawing lines on a finished picture
Think things twice, thought it all before
Find a new wave, see a new direction
Move like the birds underneath the sky
‘Cause there’s no room here for more
Rolled up world
Fold up world
Seasons furled
Sealed up world (sealed up world)
Rolled up world
Fold up world
Seasons furled
Sealed up world (sealed up world)

Breathe
05:10

Is there a recipe for madness?
Certain people don’t seem sure
Is there a written path to sadness?
And with or with no Salvador?
Alas, my sweet child, please do tell me (yeah, yeah)
How your separate stars align
To stop the passions in you fading away
To stop your colours turning blind
Breathe the fire of life
Burning through our eyes
Slow and easily
Just breathe
And to a priest you need not go to
To learn the lessons of this world
For every brother has his candle
At certain times it starts to burn
Breathe the fire of life
Burning through our eyes
Slow and easily
Just breathe
Breathe the fire of life (gotta breathe the fire of life)
Burning through our eyes (it is burning through our eyes)
Slow and easily
Just breathe

Borges Song

Cut across me like a night train
As it chews across the sand
Taking me to a deeper place
In this wonderful land
Pull me out from my familiar terrain
Like a tiger in its cage
The faces in my dreams will match
The faces on the page
(Oh the faces on the page
But oh, here we go)
Let me into your world
Show me all the things you’ve found
Take me down
A mile,
We’ll sit for a while,
In silence
Struck me like a light beam
Your sun was in my eyes
And the shadows that once were yours
Appear a second time
Spoke into me like a wild dream
That took days to comprehend
The world you made is changin’ now
But it could change again
(Oh, it could change again
But oh, here we go)
Let me into your world
Show me all the things you’ve found
Take me down
Down, down, down
Won’t you let me into your mind?
There’s only a page between us now
Oh, take me down
A mile,
We’ll sit for a while,
In silence
Won’t you let me into your world?
Show me all the things you’ve found
Take, take me down
In silence
Won’t you let me into your mind?
There’s only a page between us now
Oh, take me down
A mile,
We’ll sit for a while,
In silence
