SHAKEDOWN!
HEY!
two headed monster on the big blue screen
they tell you how to spend your dime
now all the minutes change to hours
then the days fly by
and nothing occupies your mind
beautiful people tell you what to wear
and who to be
and what to buy
it's time to leave it all behind and...
rise up! dance to a different beat
rise up! shakedown!
rise up! free your mind of what they say
without a doubt they've thought of everything
of every way to steal your time
now all the days have changed to weeks
and still the years fly by
never thought to question why
pretty people
all those people
talking at you
talking what when why
come on and leave it all behind and...
yeah you're all dressed up and you got
nothing to lose
and i see you've brought your
dancing shoes, well
let's figure out how to use those things, yeah!
c'mon c'mon c'mon dance with me!
dance, i said!
rise up!
~AECHO
GORGEOUS
i was there
when they would stare
at you just like
the light had fallen
from the sun
you'd think that
jesus had come
i called you sugar on that day
and later sweetness drove my manic haze
and i found another name
so gorgeous was the day we met
i couldn't speak except to say how
gorgeous that i thought you were to me
delirious and daylight falling
into night i fell
i thought i'd drown myself
i thought i'd drown myself in you
well i shook the honey glaze from my head
and i realized, yeah i realized
i'd do anything for you
my eyes were spinning round
like the twist of a top
my head reeling round so fast
i didn't think it could stop
but i stopped and
gorgeous was the day we met
gorgeous that the two of us could be
spill myself all over you like syrup
all delicious and stuck on you
yeah we'll wreck ourselves
yeah we'll wreck ourselves ?as two?
no unseen force can deny this -
why would it even try?
it'll never stop
it'll never go away
so so gorgeous
COMMUNION
if you could take me with you
would you be delicate with me?
this is my first time communion
i cannot breathe or speak or see
i'm out of my mind
there's no words to communicate to you
there are no words for what you are
no way i'll ever quite explain
they are too fearful for reason
only the veil that is to blame
no, my mind, yeah, communicate to you
if i could stay here forever
no-one would ever have to know
you came to take me away
now my mind can't communicate to you
MELT
one look at you
and i'm tongue-tied
as you move in time
with the flickering light
yeah you're moving with the lights
all i can do
is is to hold tight
with the flickering lights
and follow you endlessly toward the light
and ALL of my faculties have been removed
and i can't help but to lose myself in you
and i will melt
i will melt
i will melt into you
and tonight looks like the world is on fire
seven motions, seven signs
to spend it with you
all i desire
as we move inside for the quickening time
c'mon follow me endlessly toward the light
for one look at you
you know i'd pull the stars down
from the sky
you know i'd dash the universe night
just to bring you every light
and ALLL of my faculties have been removed
i would bring you every light
HANG ON ME
"hey hey," she said
"i'm not half the man i used to be
the shoes you lent me
don't seem to fit the same."
we can still haha and laugh about it
cos all in all i never doubted
i would be the one who leans on you
did you think it would hang on me?
i'll hang on you
"well well," it said
"that you always want what you can't get"
i didn't get that
'til i didn't get a thing
cos all the while i never doubted
i would be the one who still needs you
i'll hang on you, ooh
ooh, oooooooh
all in all i never doubted
i would be the one who still WANTS ...YOU
hey hey, she said
i'm not half the man i used to be
don't seem to fit the same
we can still haha and laugh about it...
DIRTY LION
you were speaking in tongues
conversations
was it your god speaking?
were you coming undone?
was it nature
that showed you that
desire
colours all you see
your desire
the only thing you seek
you say you're coming undone
and you've still got
a bad taste in your mouth
from the conversation
with the snake that
has left you reeling
and you learned how to crawl
like a real man
now you're like the rest
on your knees
i'll show you that
is everything
now you're writhing around
in your own mess
cos you lie down with the snakes
naked and so shamed
before god
but still you're speaking in tongues
and your god says:
colours only you see
the only thing you see
