EVERYTHING MUST GO

EVERYTHING MUST GO
EVERYTHING THAT MADE US ZEALOUS
EVERYTHING THAT MADE US JEALOUS OF THE STATUS QUO
EVERYTHING MUST GO
LIKE THE SUNSET ON A JOURNEY
OR A CRIMINAL ATTORNEY VISITING DEATHROW
TIME TO FIND YOURSELF A BRAND NEW PROTEGE
CHECK THE PERSON FIRST AND THEN THE RESUME
WELCOME TO YOUR LIFE, A BUMFIGHT VIDEO
YOU USED TO OWN THE RING BUT EVERYTHING
EVERYTHING MUST GO
EVERYTHING MUST GO
FAREWELL TO THE GOLDEN KICKBACKS
WELCOME TO THE ANTICLIMAX OF YOUR CANCELLED SHOW
EVERYTHING MUST GO
LIKE THE LUSTER OF SENSATIONS
AND THE CONSTANT EXPECTATIONS DRIPPING ON YOUR SOUL
BETTER FREE YOURSELF FROM ALL THAT YOU BECAME
ONLY FOOLS AND PHONIES NEVER FEEL ASHAMED
TIME TO FIX YOURSELF AN HONEST CUP OF JOE
YOU LIVED JUST LIKE A KING BUT EVERYTHING
EVERYTHING MUST GO.

Ballerinas of the Cantina

Ballerinas of the cantina,
Would you like some company?
I'm a stranger in the city
And I need a place to sleep.

Innkeeper, some more tequila
For me and these pretty ladies.
I'm a stranger in the city,
And I've traveled far and deep.

I have seen the stars climbing to the heavens,
I have shared their reverie,
I have seen a glow, I have felt its presence,
What does it want from me?

Ballerinas of the cantina
Gather round the Christmas tree,
Singing carols and lighting candles,
Dancing with the Wise Men Three.

I have seen the Star, I have seen the angels,
I have shared their reverie,
I have seen a glow, I have felt its presence,
What does it want from me?

phantomwise

difficult season has come to an end
the cynical breezes are quiet once again
the curse has been broken
the tears are all shed
a love that was frozen
returns from the dead

CHORUS:
contemplate your heart's estate
concentrate on what is great
sing with me
concertize
let your dreams
crystallize
and take me to the river in your heart
let me heal the memories and scars
underneath the watercolor skies
fix me in the prism of your eyes
that haunt me phantomwise

carnival gypsy
you know how I feel
you cannot convince me
your fortunes are not real
braceletted beauty
unfettered and lithe
your caramel body
continues to writhe

NOWHERE TO GO

THE CITY IS EMPTY, THE STREETS ARE ALL WET,
AND SHINE WITH THE NEON THE WATER REFLECTS,
AND IT'S AFTER MIDNIGHT, WHAT ELSE CAN I DO.
I WALK PAST THE RUINS & THINK ABOUT YOU,
I WOULD RUN FAR AWAY BUT I KNOW
THERE'S NOWHERE TO GO.

I THINK OF THE OCEAN, I THINK OF THE BEACH,
I THINK OF THE SUNSHINE THAT'S SO OUT OF REACH,
I THINK OF THE PLACES WE USED TO ROAM
BUT HERE IT IS WINTER IN A TOWN FILLED WITH GHOSTS.

I WOULD RUN FAR AWAY BUT I KNOW
THERE'S NOWHERE TO GO.

nocturne


ALL THROUGH THE NIGHT,
I WANT TO MAKE LOVE TO YOU,
A NOCTURNAL RENDEZVOUS
WHERE WE COLLIDE
IN PARADISE
WHERE NOBODY CAN INTRUDE,
LIKE CASTAWAYS LEFT MAROONED,
JUST YOU AND I.
I KNOW YOU WANT TO BE STRANDED WITH ME.
I KNOW YOU WAIT TO ESCAPE DRUDGERY.
I KNOW YOU LONG TO BE TOUCHED BY ME.
I'M IN YOUR DREAMS BUT I'M REAL, CAN'T YOU SEE?
CAN'T YOU SEE?

seagulls

ALL THE SEAGULLS SAILING BY THE SEA,
ARE THEY SAYING:
"WON'T YOU FOLLOW ME?
WON'T YOU FLY WITH ME?
WON'T YOU FLOAT UPON THE BREEZE?".

BY THE SEASIDE WHERE THE SEAGULLS FLY
IN THE BLUE SKY, DARKNESS WILL COLLIDE,
SUNLIGHT WILL NOT HIDE,
IT JUST PASSES FROM OUR SIGHT.

PLEASANT DAYS AND PLEASANT DREAMS
YOU'LL RIDE TO KIND HAVENS
WHERE SEAGULLS SOAR THE SKY,
SOAR HIGH, WATCH THEM GLIDE,
GLIDE INTO A LULLABY.
