Adore Lyrics


To Sheila

twilight fades throught blisered avalon
the sky's cruel torch on arching autobahn
into the uncertain divine
we scream into the last divide
you make real
you make me real strong as I feel
you make me real
sheila rides on crashing nightingale
intake eyes leave passing vapor trails
with blushing brilliance alive
because it's time to arrive
you make me real
you make me real strong as I feel
you make me real
lately I just can't seem to believe
discard my friends to change the scenery
it meant the world to hold a bruising faith
but now it's just a matter of grace
a summer storm graces all of me
highway warm sing silent poetry
I could bring you the light
and take you home into the night


Ava Adore

it's you that I adore
you will always be my whore
you'll be a mother to my child
and a child to my heart
we must never be apart
we must never be apart
lovely girl you're the beauty in my world
without you there aren't reasons left to find
and I'll pull your crocked teeth
you'll be perfect just like me
you'll be a lover in my bed
and a gun to my head
we must never be apart
we must never be apart
lovely girl you're murder in my world
dressing coffins for the souls
you've left to die
drinking mercury
to the mystery of all that you
should ever leave behind in time
in you I see dirty
in you I count stars
in you I fell so pretty
in you I taste god
in you I feel so hungry
in you I crash cars
we must never be apart



Perfect

I know we're just like old friends
we just can't pretend
that lovers make amends
we are reasons so unreal
we can't help but feel
that something has been lost
but please
you know you're just like me
next time I promise
will be perfect perfect perfect
stranges down the line
lovers out of time
memories unwind
so far I still know who you are
but now I wonder who I was
angel you know it's not the end
we'll always be good friends
but letters have been sent on
so please you always were so free
you'll see I promise will be
perfect perfect perfect
strangers when we meet
strangers on the street
lovers white we sleep
perfect you know this has to be
we always were so free
we promised that we'd be
perfect



Daphne Descents

with the sugar sickness
you spy the kidnap kid
who kids you to oblivion
it's the perfect hassle
for the perfumed kiss
he makes you miss him more than home
you love him you love him
more than this you love him
and you cannot you can't resist
you love him
you love him for yourself
you love him and no one else
past sidewalk ashes
a last lovers arc
you come apart to intertwine
it was all so simple
as you watched him move
across the darkness in your room
you love him
you love him for yourself
you love him and no one else
and to the winding vines
the pretty boys dive
and thru the pinhole stars
into the shadow mind
you will loose him then
on some gentle dawn
this boy is here and gone
you love him for yourself
you love him and no one else
you love him you love him
more than this you love him
and you cannot you can't resist
you love him



Once Upon a Time

Mother I'm tired
come surrender my son
time has ravaged on my soul
no plans to leave but still I go
Fallin' with the leaves
fallin' out of sleep
to the last goodbyes who cares why?
Mother I've tried
wasting my life
I haven't given up, I lie
to make you feel so proud in my eyes
Fallin' out of sleep
crawling over me
to the last goodbyes who cares why?
Tuesdays come and gone
restless stll I drive
try to leave it all behind
fallin' fallin' out of sleep
fallin' fallin' with the leaves
I go crawlin', crawlin' over me
Once upon a time in my life...
I went falling
Mother I hope you know
that I miss you
time has ravaged on my soul
to wipe a mothers tears grown cold



Tear

the lights came on fast lost in
motorcrash gone in a flash
unreal but you knew all along
you laugh the light
I sing the songs to watch you numb
I saw you there you were on your way
you held the rain and for the first time
heaven seemed insane cause heaven
is to blame for taking you away
do you know the way that I can?
do you know the way that I can't do?
where is your heart?
where is your heart gone to?
tear me apart tear me apart from you
you laugh the light I cry the wound
in grey afternoons
I saw you there you were on your way
you kissed me cold and for the first time
heaven seemed insane for taking you away
cause heavenis to blame
for taking you away
the lights came to pass dead opera
motorcrash gone in a flash unreal
in nitrous overcast
do you know the way that I can?
do you know the way that I can't choose?
do you know the things that I can?
do you know the things that I can't lose?
tear me apart tear me apart from you
where is your heart?
where is your heart run to?



Crestfallen

Who am I to need you when I'm down
and where are you when I need you around
your life is not your own
and all I ask you
is for another chance
another way around you
to live by circunstance once again
who am I to need you now
to ask you why to tell you no
to deserve your love and sympathy
you were never meant to belong to me
and you may go but I know
you won't leave too many years
built into memories
your life is not your own
who am I to need you now
to ask you why to tell you no
to deserve your love and sympathy
you were never meant to belong to me
who am I to you?
along the way
I lost my faith and as you were
you'll be again
to mold like clay
to break like dirt
to tear me up in your sympathy
you were never meant to belong to me
you were never meant to belong to me
you were never meant to belong to me
Who am I?



Appels + Oranjes

What if the sun refused to shine?
what if the clouds refused to rain?
what if the wind refused to blow?
what if the seas refused to wave?
what if the world refused its turn?
what if the stars would hesitate?
what if what is isn't true?
what are you going to do?
what if what is isn't you?
does that mean you've got to lose?
digging for the feel of something new
what if the silence let you dream?
what if the air could let you breathe?
what if the words could bring you here?
whaat if this sound could bring you peace?
what if what is isn't true?
what are you gonna do?
digging for the feel of something new
what if what is isn't you?
what are you gonna do?
it came form your thoughts
your dreams and visions
ripped up from you weeks and decisions
What if the sun refused to shine?
what if the clouds refused to rain?
what if the world refused to turn?
what if the clocks would hesitate?
what if what is isn't true?
what are you gonna do?
what if what is isn't you?
does that mean you've got to lose?
digging for the feel of something new
does that mean you've got to choose?
the feel of something new
does that mean you've got to lose?
the thoughts you cannot use
what are you gonna do?



Pug

kiss and kill me sweetly
come and drive me home
drag the miles in me I am yours alone
inside where it's warm wrap myself in you
outside where I'm torn fight myself in two
in two into you
desire me so deeply
drain and kick me hard
whisper secrets for me try to go too far
inside where it's warm wrap myself in you
outside where I'm torn fight myself in two
in two into...
please don't change
please don't change at all
bring your rain
bring your rain to fall
inside where it's warm wrap myself in you
outside where I'm torn fight myself in two
in two into you
kiss and kill me sweetly
ride the telephone
drag the miles to me I am yours
alone yours alone
on the telephone yours alone
looking for yours alone



The Tale of Dusty and Pistol Pete

Dusty screams through doors and imaginary floors
"why can't you miss me"
pistol pete removes the final breaths from her
unkind and she is shaken what does this mean
in love or in peace?
with you lying next to me
so faithless serene
and she calls to him
let the waste cross the ancient trails
to you
far out beneath the sorrow clouds
let them taste the bitter lost mistake
of you
let them cry out through your rusted scars
alone he roams
inside the ordinary catacombs
of her waiting
with raven hands she steals
and staggers towards her
man still scorned by his demon
because he's undone
become the language of
disaster and love vengeance and dust
and she calls to him
let the waste cross the ancient trails
to you
far out beneath the sorrow clouds
let them taste the bitter lost mistake
of you
let them cry out through your rusted scars
Dusty screams through doors and imaginary scenes
of hurt and teardrop as he holds her
down in the cold lonely winds
together again her inside him
and she calls to him
let the waste cross the ancient trails
to you
far out beneath the sorrow clouds
let them taste the bitter lost mistake
of you
let them cry out through your rusted scars



Annie-Dog

amphetamine annie-dog
has her teash and a face
her velvet spleen her shackle spine
her diamond curse it comes with mine
a vessel she for violent I
confession arms awake
mine mine you were always mine
possedssed by my taste
and below the angel dog
coms her hair and sigs her psalms
the bombs go off she doesn't notice
it all goes wrong she sets things tragic
she is venus she is marsupon her face we leave no trace
but in her stomach mercury aged
she holds the blood she carve the knives
she digs the wires in our babies
amphetamine annie-dog
pulls her thrash and her stories
from place to place and bed to bed
gives of herself and the magnet head
another floor another ceilling
counting stars with double meaning
is it wrong to be swallowed whole
to dissapear in her to give to her
the priceless peace of giving up
control we tuble out into the streets
and annie-dog she drags her leash
pretty face ugly mouth
bitter bread and so released
and by the no and in the eyes
annie goes if you couldn't guess
a simple man a sycophant
her elephant with the laughing cough
she wants clean sheets
and fresh flowers
her dental shots and the hong kong glue
amphetamine annie-dog
has her teash and a face



Shame

you're gonna walk on home
you're gonna walk alone
you're gonna see this through
don't let the get to you
shame
love is good and love is kind
love is drunk and love is blind
love is good and love is mine
love is drunk all the time
shame
you're gonna walk on home
you're gonna walk alone
you're gonna walk so far
you're gonna wonder who you are
shame
love is good and love is kind
love is drunk and love is blind
love is good and love is mine
love is good all the time
hello goodbye
you know you make us cry



Behold! The Night Mare

I've faced the phantons in your deep
withstood the suitors quiet siege
pulled down the heavens just to please you
appease you
the wind blows and I know
I can't go on digging roses from your grave
to linger on beyond the beyond
where the willows weep
and the whirlpoots sleeps you'll find me
the coarse tide reflect sky
and the night mare rides on
and the night mare rides on
with a december black psalm
and the night mare rides on
what I fear is lost here
the wind blows and I know
all you have to do is run away and steal yourself from me
become a mystery to gaze into
you're so cruel in all you do
but still I believe you so may you come
with your own knives
you will never take me alive
with all the force at what is true
is there nothing aI can do?
I can't go on digging roses from your grave
to linger on beyond the beyond
where the willows weep
and the whirlpoots sleeps you'll find me
and the night mare rides on
and the night mare rides on
with a december black psalm
and the night mare rides on
I've faced the phantons in your deep
withstood the suitors quiet siege
pulled down the heavens just to please you
to hold the flower I can't keep



For Martha
whenever I run
whenever I run to you lost one
it's never done just hanging on
the past has left me be
returning as it dreams shattered as belief
if you have to go don't say goodbye
if you have to go don't you cry
if you have to go I will get by
some day I'll follow you
and see on the other side
but for the grace of love
I'd will the meaning of heaven from above
your picture out of time
left aching in my mind
shadows kept alive
if you have to go don't say goodbye
if you have to go don't you cry
if you have to go I will get by
some day I'll follow you
and see on the other side
but for the grace of love
I'd will the meaning of heaven from above
long horses we are born
creatures more than torn
mourning our way home



Blank page

was all the rage never meant to say
anything in bed I was half
dead tired of dreaming of rest
got dressed drove the state line
looking for you at the five
and dime stop sign told me to
stay at home told me you were not alone
blank page was all the rage
never meant to hurt anyone in bed I was half
dead tired of dreaming of rest
you haven't changed you're still the same
may you rise as you fall
you were easy you are forgotten
you are the ways of my mistakes
I catch the rainfall through the leaking roof
that you had left behind you remind me
of that leak in my soul
the rain falls my friends call
teaking rain on the phone
take a day plant some trees
may they shade you from me may the children play beneath
blank page
was all the rage never meant to say anything
in bed I was half dead
tired of dreaming of rest
got dressed drove the state line
looking for you at the five and dime
but there I was picking pieces up
you are a ghost of my indecision
no more little girl
