TOWER
I left my life
to go and live yours
time talks of tokens
I took your life
tried to make it mine
I staggered between
(ooh, I know it best)
revolving doors, I
(ooh, i know it best)
I made you stay
You tried to go
your tower I see no more
I had driven you too far
soaking wet in yesterday's dancing shoes
(ooh, I know it best)
revolving doors, I
(ooh, i know it best)
I made you stay
I left my life
to go and live yours
time talks of tokens
I took your light
tried to make it mine
I staggered between

HOLD UP THIS SONG
Ballerina, play along
Hold up this song
Before you judge me, I was wrong
Hold up this song
I am fatal, I'm a flaw
I heard you say
In all the darkness, I was found
I heard you say
Hold up this song
Hold up this song
Hold up this song
Tap your finger on the drum
You know the one
Paint the morning with your gun
You know the one
Hold up this song
Hold up this song
Hold up this song
And now your lonely days are over
It's going to take a little time
And we will hide under the covers
Before
Hold up this song

YOU ARE GOOD, I AM TRAIN.
Fall back, fall back
I can not seem to drag you out
I fear and you know
Fall back, fall back
Believe, the bomb
It’s strapped to my heart
It's out of my hands
Out of my hands
It's out of my hands
Out of my hands
Your low and my high
Well I faked it all, I made it seem right
I spoke out too loud
Now I fear that I can't take it back
It's too late, too good to stop
It's strapped to my heart
It's out of my hands
Out of my hands
It's out of my hands
Out of my hands
Mechanical heartbeat
Violent release
A heatwave longing for sleep
Chemical kisses
Set to release
I want you to see me derail
This time I won't lie
The more I change the more I feel right
Believe, the bomb
It’s strapped to my heart
It's out of my hands
Out of my hands
It's out of my hands
Out of my hands

SEE THE MILE
See the mile
See it twirl away like curls
When you pass the giant
Wave your hand
So he’ll still be there when you return
It’s the safest place to pass
It won’t take long
Before you cross over the ridge
You’ll find my home on the coast, see the Danes
It might be cold
And people can be cautious
But give them time and they speak their mind
Down, down, down, down you go
Down, down, down, down
There’s only two highways
Either north or south
There’s only two highways
Either north or south
She’s been away
But I’m sure you’ll find her
She’s got the brightest light inside her eyes
Find out if she’s waiting still and tell her
That I can’t come back
That you’re the man in black
Down, down, down, down you go
Down, down, down, down
There’s only two highways
Either north or south
There’s only two highways
Either north or south
See the mile
See it twirl away like curls
When you pass the giant

IGLOO
Now walk away
Can't you see I'm better?
I don't need your tongue
The kiss you gave
Bound for something higher
Bring it back your way
Please rest your mind
I fell into a slumber
And got over this
Take take take the lie
Take it to the liar
Bring it back my way
The lids, the eyes
Vibrates like feathers
From my heavy breath
I float on trains again
The belly of my dance
The old cheating rails
I'm proud of what you left in me
But all the bets are off for us
Scarlet streams and washed up blues
I don't care what you do
The current will take us too
I'm proud of what you left in me
But all the bets are off for us
Scarlet streams and washed up blues
I don't care what you do
The current will take us too
Now walk away
Can't you see I'm better?
I don't need your tongue
And the kiss you gave
Bound for something higher
Bring it back your way

ELVIS
You see
You see it's never as it seems
The boy
The boy you knew is gone and you know it
So take off your pretty smile
Leave it hanging out
Don't you cry
You shouldn't live my life
Before you
I know
I know we spend too much time
Talking how we could get this right
I’ve been waiting for too long
To set it straight with you and I
But I know now
We shouldn't live our lives
I know this now
Like this we shouldn't live our lives
And don't you cry
Oh we shouldn't live our lives
Before you

RIVERBOAT
Last night I saw the riverboat
Last night I saw the riverboat
Last night I saw the riverboat
Oh my
He was coming up from down below
He was coming up from down below
Last night I saw the riverboat
Oh my
Darling caught the river blues
Darling caught the river blues
Darling caught the river blues
It's sad
She took my voice and gave me his
She took my voice and gave me his
My darling caught the river blues
It's sad
Give me your sins
I shall take you home
Row, row
We are hiding still
I covered my eyes for the riverboat
I covered my eyes for the riverboat
I covered my eyes for the riverboat
I lied
But the glow was showing through my hands
The glow was showing through my hands
I covered my eyes for the riverboat
I lied
Give me your sins
I shall take you home
Row, row
We are hiding still
Last night I saw the riverboat
Last night I saw the riverboat
Last night I saw the riverboat
I lied
But the glow was showing through my hands
The glow was showing through my hands
I covered my eyes for the riverboat
I lied

CAMERA FORTUNA
Some men make their living
On poetry and cards
Rest their heads on shorelines
And endless boulevards
As high as you may stack them
They're heading for a fall
Frozen river frailty
Dance to who you are
Take all to your camera
And strike me with my blame
The cause of what's deceiving
Calls another round of fame
A man will hide his meaning
While the meaning hides his heart
The wicked drum starts beating
Rips the world apart
Some will say they're this way
Hiding alone
Burn-out bliss, chestnut kiss
Grasping for clarity
Copenhagen calls for
A drink for the loss
Put away the posture
And celebrate the cause
Keep walking straight with shadows
You may try to join your own
The slides are on the sidewalk
Oh, your battles are well known

MURDER OF SPRING
Bedtime post under ballroom lights
Glancing eyes let me in
Winter cheated on the wrongs and rights
With steady arms we slam the bell
What can't be bought we must go and sell
On front row we hear it ring
Disguised in a melody
The murder of spring
Ooh, the murder of spring
Ooh, is what she holds within
In the open night the music appeared
Faded faults on empty trams
Cities forget but I remember
So I slap the face in the mirror I hold
It should have been left untold
Light steps on doubtful heels
Ooh, the murder of spring
Ooh, is what she holds within
I forgot to ask what she held within
It was the murder of…
