lyrics
Like a vulture
On the wasteland
Or the chain
That you try to disband
In the water
In the hot sand
There’s a blister
On the edge of your hand
Your like golden beam of light
But you might never sleep tonight
We hardly whet your appetite
But you might never sleep
Oh no no oh no no oh nonononono X2
It’s getting late
Please concentrate
Just close your eyes
No alibis
Your a dream in black and white
But you might never sleep tonight
Your like a hummingbird in flight
But you might never sleep
Oh no no…
It’s getting late, just accommodate
Just compromise and close one eyes
You’re a spark that you ignite
But you might never sleep tonight
And you sing until it’s light
And you might never sleep
When you wanna pull me close
And feel a love so genuine
I’ll hold you in my arms and kiss your face
And give you medicine
My love for you is so complete
You melt me just like gelatin
And when you’re hurt and scream in pain
I feel it in my skeleton
A kind of love that strips away
Both masculine and feminine
And in the day while you’re asleep
You’re such a lovely gentleman
On the wasteland
Or the chain
That you try to disband
In the water
In the hot sand
There’s a blister
On the edge of your hand
Your like golden beam of light
But you might never sleep tonight
We hardly whet your appetite
But you might never sleep
Oh no no oh no no oh nonononono X2
It’s getting late
Please concentrate
Just close your eyes
No alibis
Your a dream in black and white
But you might never sleep tonight
Your like a hummingbird in flight
But you might never sleep
Oh no no…
It’s getting late, just accommodate
Just compromise and close one eyes
You’re a spark that you ignite
But you might never sleep tonight
And you sing until it’s light
And you might never sleep
When you wanna pull me close
And feel a love so genuine
I’ll hold you in my arms and kiss your face
And give you medicine
My love for you is so complete
You melt me just like gelatin
And when you’re hurt and scream in pain
I feel it in my skeleton
A kind of love that strips away
Both masculine and feminine
And in the day while you’re asleep
You’re such a lovely gentleman

With Darkness In My Eyes
by The Heavy HorsesYeah I made the album art, but also it is very very well done album, production is pure opulence. Justin Mahoney is a true gent.
