Black Venomous Snakes – Lyrics

Posted on May 6, 2013 by SJ — No Comments ↓

black venomous snakes slither over you
i was pulling them off and dodging your daggers too
but you can’t see and you don’t care
how can i breathe the same air
when everything you say is untrue

i want you to be the other one in this love affair
instead you only pray to me at the altar of your despair
i want you to be the other one in this love affair
instead you only pray to me at the altar of your despair

even the moon and sun agree to disagree
so we watch the waves entwined again
but it was too good to be true
our start before fear’s debut
the lights came on and that was the end

i want you to be the other one in this love affair
instead you only pray to me at the altar of your despair
i want you to be the other one in this love affair
instead you only pray to me at the altar of your despair

we won’t put the blame on you
we learned to avoid that sinister brew
but i’ve been broke down and propped up
your lips never touched this cup
it’s the end of days but it seems so subdued

i want you to be the other one in this love affair
instead you only pray to me at the altar of your despair
i want you to be the other one in this love affair
instead you only pray to me at the altar of your despair
i want you to be the other one in this love affair
instead you only pray to me at the altar of your despair

Leave – Lyrics

Posted on January 5, 2013 by SJ — No Comments ↓

so you want to take me back, you want to take me back today
but oh i’ve been burned before, burned before that way
so no i won’t get burned again, burned again today

i found a way to let you go, you wanna hear her name, but you should already know
so my love it’s time to cry goodbye, take one last look that says “lord knows we tried”
to leave this hell behind
leave

so you come sneaking back with your poison and your fear
see the crosses on the wall say “you’re not welcome here”
but oh you’ve come to take me back you’ve come to take me back today
you say the flames they miss me so, the one that got away
but no not that hell again, i will not lose my way

toward the end we kissed like lepers
they say that sometimes love just dies, but i think we knew better
oh my love, if we could only touch again, the wounds that we would mend
but that’s a soul i can not spend
so leave this hell behind
leave
leave
leave

so you come sneaking back with your poison and your fear
see the crosses on the wall say “you’re not welcome here”

darlin’ don’t you believe
you were made to receive
my love

sometimes i stare when you twirl your hair
your lips come too close, i take the dare
under the stars at midnight
under the stars we’ll do it right

darlin’ don’t you believe
you were made to receive
my love
my love
well then come out tonight
read the signs in the stars

they say i’ll need a gun when i get to mexico
i’ve got a full tank of gas, it’s an hour to go to mexico
i knew the lotto wasn’t spinning for me, so i chewed myself free
then called you up and said, “let’s go to mexico”

the sun’s on our right, we’re going to mexico, mexico
the sun’s on our right, we’re going to mexico, mexico

i hear there’s a well of mescal in them there hills
well i’ll be timmy and you can be lassie ’til i get my fill
we’ll wake on the beach smelling sea on the air, buy new clothes, forget all our cares
’cause worry won’t get you a pitcher of dirt, in mexico

the sun’s on our right, we’re going to mexico, mexico
the sun’s on our right, we’re going to mexico, mexico

there comes a time when you know you just can’t win
so put some beer on your tongue and some sun on your skin
we all know what it’s like when the world’s caving in, you’ve got to stick with your friends
or just call us up and say, “let’s go to mexico”

the sun’s on our right, we’re going to mexico, mexico
the sun’s on our right, we’re going to mexico, mexico

Make A Fuss – Lyrics

Posted on July 9, 2011 by SJ — No Comments ↓

i wanna make a fuss all night over you
i wanna make a fuss all my life over you
i wanna make a fuss all night over you
i wanna make a fuss all my life over you

well i’ll be here to slow your mind at the end of your busy days
just leave it to me and my wicked ways
through all the storms that threaten to block your sunshine’s rays
i’ll keep you warm, i’ll set your heart ablaze

i wanna make a fuss all night over you
i wanna make a fuss all my life over you

we’ll sail the world, we’ll climb the peaks, see all the magic views
it’s the least i could do
then choose your stars and i’ll pluck them down and present them all to you
you can have the moon too

i wanna make a fuss all night over you
i wanna make a fuss all my life over you
i wanna make a fuss all night over you
i wanna make a fuss all my life over you

we’ll wake to the softest sunshine slowly warming up the room
we can stay in bed ’til noon
and then i’ll be here to slow your mind at the end of your busy days
just leave it to me and my wicked ways

i wanna make a fuss all night over you
i wanna make a fuss all my life over you
i wanna make a fuss all night over you
i wanna make a fuss all my life over you

River, Country, Girl – Lyrics

Posted on March 9, 2011 by SJ — No Comments ↓

lay me down by the river
so i can hear my voice with hers
lay me down under the stars
and everything the night prefers

lay me down in the country
a campfire to warm my dreams
lay me down in the meadow
where things are just what they seem

lay me down by the girl
you’ll know her by the look in my eyes
lay us down in the sunshine
to rest as we burn across the sky

lay me, lay me down
lay me, lay me down
lay me, lay me down

Polar Bear Suit – Lyrics

Posted on March 9, 2011 by SJ — No Comments ↓

riding your bike in the snow in your polar bear suit
i tumbled down the hill that day, i was in hot pursuit
noses frozen, eyelashes iced, cheeks red like wine
our hearts pounding, our palms in sweat with heat of the warmest kind
in the dark we told our secrets and healed wounds from lovers past
morning came and light filled the room, hope swelling fast

i fell in love with the girl who is going to save the world
i fell in love with the girl who is going to save the world

there were wars to protest, rallies to march, spring was in the air
no girl looked as lovely with revolution in her hair
we named unborn babies and planned our adventures, laughed in the sun
we knew the stories of famous lovers and we wouldn’t be outdone
well you pinned me down, your face in my sky, how did we not meet before
we traced the steps of how we got here, to fate we couldn’t ignore

i fell in love with the girl who is going to save the world
i fell in love with the girl who is going to save the world

maybe the wars never ended, the world got too warm, but our faces were in the breeze
the kids moved out and our hands still touched with ease
but we’ll build a treehouse and sell all our things, give away all our loot
but i’ll always have someplace to hang your polar bear suit

i fell in love with the girl who is going to save the world
i fell in love with the girl who is going to save the world

i fell in love with the girl who is going to save my world

Like A Madman – Lyrics

Posted on March 9, 2011 by SJ — No Comments ↓

none of the colours in my eyes
can explain what i see in you
i thought i was doomed to my abyss
when your smile came to my rescue

what do you want, what do you need
are you asking the sky right now
maybe you’ll find that some of it
the gods on me endowed

i hope like a mad man
i dance like a mad man
i dream like a mad man
to be your man

i hope like a mad man
i dance like a mad man
i dream like a mad man
to be your man

knocked down, picked up, seeing you
now there’s thunder in my soul
i feel like i was a starving man
with a never empty bowl

i hope like a mad man
i dance like a mad man
i dream like a mad man
to be your man

i hope like a mad man
i dance like a mad man
i dream like a mad man
to be your man

it was never here before, it might not come again
i wanna be calm, i wanna be cool, but how can i maintain, when

i hope like a mad man
i dance like a mad man
i dream like a mad man
to be your man

i hope like a mad man
i dance like a mad man
i dream like a mad man
to be your man

Lyrics: Supposed To Be

Posted on March 9, 2009 by SJ — No Comments ↓

you say you’re gone, not coming back, tell me that on any other day
and i’d try to keep you
but not this day, there’s finally light, you can see it in my walk
it’s long overdue

you’ve got that look in your eye
begging for hell to fall from the sky
you’ve got that look in your eye
begging for hell to fall from the sky

i will admit, i miss the dreams, the shadows of love
parading down my street
i held on too long, my knuckles locked up, but even stars eventually lose their heat

you’ve got that look in your eye
begging for hell to fall from the sky
you’ve got that look in your eye
begging for hell to fall from the sky

babies unborn, and smiles not seen, echoes of laughter unheard
you had your way
i’d have been there, to never let go, it was supposed to be
’til the end of days

you’ve got that look in your eye
begging for hell to fall from the sky

i’ve got it under control
i wrestled back my soul

you’ve got that look in your eye
begging for hell to fall from the sky

you’ve got that look in your eye
begging for love to fall from the sky
