shine i heard her sing i need a voice given anything all i want to dream flattery days that never come to shine a light on the damage done somedays without a sound i feel the dark even closer now i wear a tartan winter coat i'm far away but not far enough what's true is torn and shouted down the world's at my feet and it turns when i speak and it shines shine and all that is comes down upon me shine and all that is sleep, it never comes i lay awake all the shutters drawn look at me i'm shamed my bottle done i hear her beating down on dirty wings i feel the room move under me i'm far away but not far enough what's true is torn and out of place the world's at my feet and it turns when i speak and it shines shine i heard her sing a crooked voice and a dirty wings beating under me flattery the world's at my feet and it turns when i speak on its drums and its wheels shine shine and all that is comes down upon me shine and all that is comes down upon me shine and all that is comes down upon me

the air here tastes like poison the traffic moves on broken roads the river runs like silver my own feelings let me down she's 14 and she's fading there's a wasted year for every train that passes she is leaving someday someday never comes this road is poison walk me to the wheels i fear for my life this road is poison lovers coo goodbye singing don't forget me boys tired of waiting in the cheap seats she is haunted by her failure here the river runs like silver my own feelings let me down she's 24 and feels it like a wasted year for every day that passes she is leaving one day one day never comes this road poison walk me to the wheels i fear for my life this road is poison lovers coo goodbye singing don't forget me boys in monday morning houses down through gravel yards and dirty smoke to somewhere on the sky line what i feel is still the same she's 40 and afraid that there's a wasted life for every town that passes she is leaving here but nothing here remains this road is poison walk me to the wires i fear for my life this road is poison lovers coo goodbye singing don't forget me boys
and voices louder now not loud enough the world around you crawls and sleeps in other beds and never mind i see no time and there's not time enough to burn it all away i see no hands to hold no faith to praise no celebration no parade should god forget you and all their faces say there's nothing owed there's nothing owed you it gets too dark it gets much darker now your lies around you fall on all your plans on all your wasted time you watching second hands make second hand and faith's for those who pray but all your tears are gone and thrown away and there's no cause to take his place should god forget you and all their faces say there's nothing owed there's nothing owed you i see no time and there's not time enough to burn it all away i see no hands to hold no faith to praise and voices louder now not loud enough the world around you crawls and sleeps in other beds and never mind no celebration no parade should god forget you and all their faces say there's nothing owed there's nothing owed you and there's no cause to take his place should god forget you and all their faces say there's nothing owed there's nothing owed you
a thousand rainy days and i spoke on tongues that talk of saints burned down days like cigarettes for your hollow praise down the days that you forget count the pictures that you keep keep it, hide it all away let it never show all of this and i regret not a day that i was sent celebrated and arose for your vanity in vain framed the faces i applaud all the same sad eyes write the world between the lines i heard it all, i heard it spoke like a name i call my life let it never show all of this i now regret not a day that i was sent not a name that i might place not at my parade in the four walls of my room standing where i wait others praised and i can't come tore the pictures off my walls there's a secret that i keep let it never show all of this i now regret not a day that i was sent all of this i now regret not a name that i might place not at my parade framed the faces i applaud all the same sad eyes write the world between the lines i heard it all, i heard it spoke in the four walls of my room [??]

mary comes in a bows??? and all her lipstick pearls and clothes come falling down come falling at her feet got a knife and a spoon and a rose on my suit mother-son dark as crows here above i keep two feet on my floor she's like a dove there's a law she keeps come falling down steal her things come falling down all her rings come falling down all that she was sold second hand handed you with a heart to fill my shoes and mother-son dark as crows she comes knocking down sad mother-son on a cross in her sleep on her sheets with a lie that she keeps in here, nothing breathes a penny sent for your thought she comes knocking down my door sad mother-son mother-son
this day is not my life the passing time is not my life the thorn that's in my side is all these scenes that we regret the wasted words we can't forget through the windows of my room i hear the traffic breathing slowly someplace miles away make promises pay shame, will shake this house shame, will shake this house your dreams are not my life these broken words are not my life your lies are none of my invention your promises were not plan now the party girls have gone i hear the rattle of their heels before their footsteps fade make promises pay shame, will shake this house shame, will shake this house the passing time is not my life i've been counted down and shouted out i had everything i wanted nothing i can't rise above to let it show was not my plan headlines and frontpages sell weddings and divorces make promises pay make promises pay shame, will shake this house shame, will shake this house
crooked heals on battered boots shoot down ragged miles i'm coming home i'm like a girl in all her rags and all her pearls i hear her talk through viscious teeth sing god is gone stop hanging on my sleeve and i can't speak and all of that will never please a hollow moon hung like a heart stars like dirty sparks on dirty seas and never seen and all of that and all of these i hear her dust fall at her feet and christ and all his crows can't keep it neat so what of me and all that i don't wanna be a bitter taste a bitter pill says nothing's ever true and ever will become of me or make a sense of what i see on broken nerves in ragged clothes eyes that never close stare back at me and never see and holler names and follow me what's written now you can't erase and pages from my past get in my way for one of why i make a stand or take a side
lit like halloween and roadtop signs that i can't read dream from out of place and aimed at empty songs that he said on knees i wait from falling off my feet and god is gold dust a shallow grave will follow you and me and fall on you sleep comes it's like a dream and conversation speaks in made up lines repeat say what i said red light or green scared but i can't speak paved boredom grey take what i need from out of place sleep comes it's like a dream and conversation speaks in made up lines repeat say what i said lit like halloween they nailed up signs but i can't see and tongues that sing like breathe impersonate you, me, you sleep comes it's like a dream and conversation speaks in down my sleep repeat say what i said a mirror tries to fill my time a boredom eyes blind with all that's yours that you call lives and aimed at empty songs and he said (a mirror tries to fill my time a boredom eyes blind with all that's yours that you call lives i don't mine) sleep comes it's like a dream and conversation speaks in made up lines repeat say what i said say what i said
