I tell myself I feel lucky I play horses every day No hopes and dreams To rescue me Just pleasure and pain Consume me Here I am there you are There you are again Here I am there you are There you are again Here I am there you are There you are again Here I am there you are There you are again Here I am there you are There you are again Here I am there you are There you are again Here I am there you are There you are again Here I am there you are There you are again

Where’s my heart? Upon my shoulder Say what I want and She’ll bring it over Kiss on the cheek so She won’t leave me Here to drown in My own mouth Lady Luck is putting it rough I’ll tell you what she’s on Ecstasy means nothing to me She’s anything I want Anything I want Anything I want Anything you want Anything you want See today’s been devastating Seeing your face well, Might just save me Innocent and never blinking Give me things that I’ll be needing The way she sways In future flames It turns me up and on Curves so clean She’s slipping on me She’s anything I want Anything I want Anything I want Anything you want Anything you want

I don’t wanna be All alone this week Lights above the street Remind me of the dream I had when I was free The city at my feet I could be your girl I could be your baby You won’t be alone I was made for you You won’t be alone You won’t be alone You won’t be alone Why don’t You look over Come sit Come sit with me We’re creatures With wings as big As trees We quiet We quietly ascend Ascend Ascend You can call on me Be your warm body You can call on me Traffic Something bothers me Is how much Is how much she needs me It covers It covers all my dreams The silence The silence of my peace My peace My peace You can call on me Be your warm body You can call on me Burn the city down Burn the city down Burn the city down I don’t wanna be All alone this week I could be your girl We could burn together I could be your girl I could watch you burn Burn the city down I could be your girl We could burn together I could watch you burn Burn the city down Be your warm body You can call on me Burn the city down Be your warm body You can call on me Please call on me I could be your girl I don’t wanna be All alone this week Lights above the street Remind me of the dream I had when I was free The city at my feet

With the sun gone I just need The Dragon No instructions Moving in silence It’s a comfort A beauty to fly with The protection Like the bloom of a flower In seclusion From dusk ’til dawn Keep a distance I trust no one You take every thing I want to say (Everything I say) And turn me all around (You turn around) Once I’m able to see that you’re stable (Wish you could see me) I’ll turn you all around We take the back roads, yea Cause no one will follow Cause tomorrow Tomorrow is borrowed And The Dragon I came with is hiding On the back of, yea The back of my eyelids When we get there And show the haters What time it is Cause we don’t, yea We don’t need no sponsors You take every thing I want to say (Everything I say) And turn me all around (You turn around) Once I’m able to see that you’re stable (Wish you could see me) I’ll turn you all around (I turn around) Everything I say (You take every thing I want to say) You turn around (And turn me all around) Wish you could see me (Once I’m able to see that you’re stable) I turn around (I’ll turn you all around) I can sit by the phone Doesn’t mean that you’ll call (I don’t understand) Getting high all alone And you pray that I’ll fall (I don’t understand) I can sit by the phone Doesn’t mean that you’ll call (I don’t understand) Getting high all alone And you pray that I’ll fall (I don’t understand) Why can’t you hear me? Why can’t you heal me? Why can’t you hear me? Why can’t you hear me? Why can’t you heal me? Why can’t you hear me? I let you go To fight with you Say no more In spite of you I don’t want To be right with you Say no more To be right with you

I’m looking at my mother I’m turning into my father I do whatever I gotta To provide for my daughter I would carry the water I can’t tell if you remind me Of her or she reminds me of you She sold me her body but I wanted No I needed something more Yea I needed a whole lot more Walk through the hallway She’s heaven above me Her dance on the ceiling Makes me feel lonely Brown eyes they show me I’m safe in your arms She said tell me your secret I’ll do you no harm We were human before this We did whatever we wanted Desire leads us toward it Shows us that we’re immortal Now we’re trapped with the mortals Shows us that we’re immortal Now we’re trapped with the mortals Walk through the hallway She’s heaven above me Her dance on the ceiling Makes me feel lonely Brown eyes they show me I’m safe in your arms She said tell me your secret I’ll do you no harm Walk through the hallway She’s heaven above me Her dance on the ceiling Makes me feel lonely Brown eyes they show me I’m safe in your arms She said tell me your secret I’ll do you no harm I’ll do you no harm Straight to my head Make you feel lucky Laying in my bed I’ll do you no harm Straight to my head Make you feel lucky Take me instead I’ll do you no harm Straight to my head Make you feel lucky Laying in my bed I’ll do you no harm Straight to my head Make you feel lucky Take me instead I’ll do you no harm Straight to my head Make you feel lucky Take me instead

I’m the target on his chest On my knees I’ll show you what bleeding is You will risk and you will pay When he speaks he speaks through me Burdens are for shoulders Strong enough to carry them This is just my cross to bear Heavy heart and hungry prayer Heavy heart and hungry prayer Looking back into eternity Held the book up for the priest Made confirmation teacher weep Could never get a hold of me Last night I had the wackest dream Baby girl had gone missing No one would believe me But I wouldn’t stop looking Found her in a hundred pieces Heart apart from all the rest Told her that I’d bring her back to life No matter what the sacrifice I did my best to put her back together Emptied every vein on earth and heaven Mortal love is now electric Now I love her more than ever Now I love her more than ever I’m the target on his chest On my knees I’ll show you what bleeding is You will risk and you will pay When he speaks he speaks through me Burdens are for shoulders Strong enough to carry them This is just my cross to bear Heavy heart and hungry prayer Heavy heart and hungry prayer Heavy heart and hungry prayer
