In a Bad Way

sunrise, sunset, sunrise, repeat
another war already lost
soon as you're born you're obsolete
this feeling i just can't shake off
went to see the miracle man
he ran his fingers down my palm
told me ‘bout the reckoning
and my place in the world to come
now there's a black star burning above
the earth all covered in frost
thought i heard someone callin’ my name
but it was just the voice of god
i'm in a bad way
i'm in a bad way, baby (x2)
all rode on and none looked back
left me lyin’ in the dust
far from the great cities of glass
that were once no more than mud
these hard-won moments of joy
to what do they add up
feel the dread-drunk drum of my heart
pumpin’ that brutal blood
yeah, the sky is scorched, the moon is gone
the volcanoes erupt
used to think I was a moralist
now i do whatever i must
i'm in a bad way
i'm in a bad way, baby (x2)

there's a howling in my head
there's a howling in my heart
it's comin’ from
somewhere beyond the walls
It's the only thing I hear
and it’s embarassing to fear
the shadows comin’ on
just like the time before
and it's a long, lonely night ahead
for me on my own
i just can't be alone
and it's a damn sorry sight come the dawn
that's just me
passed out on your lawn.
o, it's the moon
up she come, then i’m done
then i’m doomed
o, it's you too,
so young and fair, so unprepared
for all my gloom
well, a wind began to howl
and the stars began to shower
down around your head
you're the only one, it seems quite clear
you're the only one i see
and it’s unbearable for me
to think of you roamin’ around
the streets of town 'til the sun goes down
and it's a long, lonely night ahead
for me on my own
i just can't stand to be alone
and it's a damn sorry sight come the dawn
that's just me
passed out on your lawn
o, it's the moon
up she come, then i'm done
then i'm doomed.
o, it's you too,
so young and fair, so unprepared
for all my gloom
so dark and sweet
i'll come to meet you
sometime soon
sometime soon

Widow Night
06:20
|

|
we've been livin’ in the gutter for so long
we need some shelter
we've been pullin’ teeth and losin’ sleep
it won't get better
she loves a fool, violent and cruel
heaven help her
the light goes out, it always goes out
sooner or later
we've been burnin’ bridges
and buildin’ bomb shelters
been ridin’ along the razor's edge
keep it together
she wants to leave and turns to go
and so you let her
standin’ in the light and now it's gone
here comes the weather
when the sun finally dies
it makes a widow out of the night (x12)

go, my son, warn the others
the old man comes tonight
the earth is soundin’
and the ocean roarin’
warning signs of his flight
go, my son, warn the others
darkness travels fast
across desert shallows
through the sick hot valley
it's come his time at last
go, my son, warn the others
yonder comes a dusky light
he's silent and slow
but he'll get you quick
like a flooding in the night.
go, my son, warn the others
lock their doors up tight
just mutter an oath
and cover your mouth
and pray everything will be alright
go, my son, warn the others
tell them they should know
he's got a crown on his head
and a horse of white dread
and he's come to start the show
go, my son, warn the others
the old man makes his strike
he wants some bodies
and you can't stop him
like a flooding in the night
i myself must go below
to make my infernal plea
i'll do what I can
but I can't promise anything
my powers are half what they used to be

Revolution Man

it's hard to be a do-gooder
nothing is ever what it seems
it's hard to be a do-gooder
nothing is ever what it seems
i used to be a hero
now i'm somewhere in between
it's hard to be a do-gooder
nothing is ever what it seems
they set fire to the factory
then they poison the lake
they set fire to the factory
then they poison the lake
while they murder my ma and pa
me and my sister escape
they set fire to the factory
then they poison the lake
when i was just a teenager
they put a pistol in my hand
when i was just a teenager
they put a pistol in my hand
no, i'm not a rolling stone
i'm a revolution man
when i was just a teenager
they put a pistol in my hand
i shot him dead in the alleyway
one cold november night
i shot him dead in the alleyway
one cold november night
lord knows, it's a long, hard road
back home to paradise
i shot him dead in the alleyway
one cold november night

Sister of Mine
08:47

i lit a match and choked on the smoke
choked on the smoke
i thought of you and then I awoke
then I awoke
do you dream of me like I so often do
i know that you’re lost
the void it beckons you
some nights I feel it too
across this mad divide
even after all this time
O, sister of mine (x2)
i missed a branch and fell like a stone
fell like a stone
i drank to you then I drank alone
i drank alone
i would gladly stay here in the darkness where you are
i would wait forever, my love
my lonely black star
so near and yet so far
until I go blind
yes, until the end of time
O, sister of mine (x2)
in five billion years I’ll let you go (x8)
