I could never thank the night enough
I could never thank the dark enough for saving me
Shambling through the night, my arms outstretched
Guided by her somber song, this humbled availed wretch
Her graceless grace
Her hideous face
Against mine
Wandering through her streets so aimlessly
I feel her hand in mine and the hurt dissipates painlessly
When I'm in her arms I'm burdenless
Jet black sunless strands of windswept blissful nothingness
Her graceless grace
Her hideous face
Against mine
Unstuck in time
Her will not mine
Her flowers in full bloom
The peaks and troughs
The nasty cough
The ever loving gloom

Replicant Blues (live)

Waking slowly from the BTL
Hands are shaking - I don't feel so well
My body's bombed and shelled
Crack the shades so I can look outside
Routine patrols so I'll stay in and hide
I wonder if I've died
A woman's crying in the upstairs halls
Paint is slowly curling off the walls
Looks like I missed some calls
Oh, I want to eat, but I just need to sleep
How long's she been gone? I just want to weep
All my friends are dead - how I miss my dudes
Having a hard time with these replicant blues
Drinking lunch to try and kill the day
Time has passed, but it don't feel that way
My pallor's turning gray
Wave connection's still on the fritz
A monster moves to Puttin' On The Ritz
Smog indicator's lit
A kid is coughing in the upstairs halls
Paint is slowly crawling off the walls
Looks like I missed some calls
Oh, I want to eat, but I just need to sleep
How long's she been gone? I just want to weep
All my friends are dead - how I miss my dudes
Having a hard time with these replicant blues

It Comes In Waves (live)

Oh, it comes in waves
But it's okay
It's made that way
Oh, it came today
It came in waves
But it's okay
Call me paranoid
But there's a pattern
Developing here

Sometimes I get terrified - take walks in leaves as they fall
But lately I've been more scared I'm feeling nothing at all
I've got a man in a bloody shirt wandering my upstairs halls
I'm looking for a door and seeing nothing but walls
Been wrecking my hands trying to punch a hole
In this family curse that's trying to swallow me whole
I'd make a pact with a demon... I'd gladly sell my soul
But there's something inside me that I'll never control
They say shorten your skirt - I say "man, there's no way"
There's something inside me that wants to put me away
I stare off in a daze and feel my full moon wane
Been wrecking my hands trying to break through to you
Been trying my best to tell illusion from truth
Been waking up in a sweat thinking I'm still next to you
Now I can't get back to sleep my heart's an aching tooth
Been living for years on self loathing and doubt
My stomach's empty and growling though I'm stuffing my mouth
My heart's a cemetery - my mind's a haunted house
My way is a secret that I'll never find out
They say shorten your skirt - I say "man, there's no way"
There's something inside me that wants to throw me away
I stare off in a daze and feel my full moon wane

Dracula Cape (live)

Darlin, I’m so sad that we parted
Lately, my heart’s filled with such shame
I know I made it hard for your heart to feel full
I know you were craving for a lover who’s whole
The nights we spent were warm, I was so satisfied
Wish you felt the way I feel inside
Let me wrap you in my Dracula cape
Let me wrap you in my Dracula cape
Don’t worry it’s never too late
Let me wrap you in my Dracula cape
Lately, it feels a lot like I’m sinking
These days, it’s getting harder to breathe
Things were pure, my love was yours right from the start
But my broken mind was emptying your heart
I cooked, I cleaned, I showed up late my eye swole shut
But it was too late I’d broken your trust
Chorus:
Let me wrap you in my Dracula cape
Let me wrap you in my Dracula cape
Don’t worry it’s never too late
Let me wrap you in my Dracula cape
Often, I talk to you as I’m waking
It takes a moment to realize I’m alone
Wish that I could hear all about your day
Wish I could show you how I’ve changed my ways
The nights we spent were warm, I was so satisfied
Wish you felt the way I feel inside
Let me wrap you in my Dracula cape
Let me wrap you in my Dracula cape
Don’t worry it’s never too late
Let me wrap you in my Dracula cape

I saw you standing there - blood all matted in your hair
Your face all dampened with auto glass - I wanna be tangled in your morass
Left your place, walked back - put my arms around your back
And in that hall we did collide - the way i felt inside
I miss your smell and your sacred sweat - I miss the calling of your lovin’ bed
I can’t get you out of my head - oh to be in your arms again
I sensed your danger - a live wire in the rain
Drenched in memories I cannot erase
I miss the sound of your loving kiss
I miss the feeling of your sweet caress
There's nothing I would do to erase
These feelings I felt in your place
Your love fingers in my hair told me you were really there
An aberration, a love depraved.
I'll burn alive to be your Nick Cave
You sensed my weakness - like a neutron bomb
Irradiated - burning in my room
I see your face and the blood in your hair
See your face and the blood in your hair
I wanna be there - trapped in your lair
I wanna be there… I wanna be there
Falling through time and we’re feeling the drag
Falling in time and we’re feeling the drag
Voltage is down… I’m riding the sag
Feeling it drag… Feeling it drag….
Your laugh brings me down to my knees
Your love brings me such sweet relief
Let me walk through your fire, girl, give me a reason to breathe
I see your face and the blood in your hair
See your face and the blood in your hair
I wanna be there - trapped in your lair
I wanna be there… I wanna be there
Falling through time and we’re feeling the drag
Falling in time and we’re feeling the drag
Voltage is down… I’m riding the sag
Feeling it drag… Feeling it drag….
Your laugh brings me down to my knees
Your voice brings me such sweet relief
Let me walk through your fire, girl, give me a reason to breathe
