Platform Moon
A light on a platform
Perfume of a secret
The sound of scissors
And a girl with a faint smile
Moaning like a brick wall
As she merges on the highway
Could she be a doctor
Or a light on a platform
Every day I start new
In the mask of the afternoon
My history forgotten
In the bottom of the ocean
In the light of the platform moon
I grew up by the highway
She grew up by the sea
She hears her name in the sound
Of the waves
But the ships hold a message
For me
I was born by the highway
She´s got sand in her hair
The lonely sounds of the traffic in
The night
Will never reach her there
Woke up on a black beach
With a face I didn´t recognize
My history forgotten
In the bottom of the ocean
Everyday I start new
Broken mast and abandoned crew
Her mystery is rotting
In the bottom of the ocean
In the light of the paltform moon
I grew up by the highway
She grew up by the sea
She hears her name in the sound
Of the waves
But the ships hold a message
For me
I was born by the highway
She´s got sand in her hair
The lonely sounds of the traffic in
The night
Wïll never reach her there
Countdown
And so it begins...
Countdown, can you think of a reason why
You so love it downtown?
I met you in the middle of the scandalous town
It's a miracle you're walking around
Countdown in a dark town, and so it begins...
It started with a minute of your favorite song
A sexy little secret of a radio song
I wish it wasn't floating around
Countdown to a tight sound, and so it begins...
Can you think of a reason why it's your favorite song
It caught you with your finger on a video girl
America is watching you now
Countdown to a night gown
Hey now, wake up!
It's a beautiful day
Hey now, look up!
You're always turning away
Are you falling asleep?
Hey now, wake up!
Are you looking away?
Hey now, look up!
Are you watching?
It's a brand new day and you shouldn't be fading away
And so it begins...
Countdown, it's the time of the season
When you're a man around town
Imagination taking you where no one else can
Floating on sins that surround
Countdown in a dark town, and so it begins...
Hey now, wake up!
It's a beautiful day
Hey now, look up!
You're always turning away
Are you falling asleep?
Hey now, wake up!
Are you looking away?
Hey now, look up!
Are you watching?
It's a brand new day and you shouldn't be fading away
And so it begins...
Countdown, can you think of a reason why
You so love it downtown?
I met you in the middle of the scandalous town
It's a miracle you're walking around
Countdown in a dark town, and so it begins...
It started with a minute of your favorite song
A sexy little secret of a radio song
I wish it wasn't floating around
Countdown to a tight sound, and so it begins...
Are you falling sleep?
Hey now, wake up!
Are you looking away?
Hey now, look up!
Are you watching?
It's a brand new day and you shouldn't be fading away
And so it begins...
Moon Won't Turn
And the moon won't turn
No matter how hard i stare and the dead won't rise
No matter how much i love surprises
The couch won't walk
And the windows will never talk
And the moon won't turn
Gravity keeps me from flying to you
And the world won't wait
Don't bother to check the time and the streets won't burn
No matter how fast we take the turns
And I can't stop time
The reluctance is in the rhyme
And the moon won't turn
Gravity keeps me from flying to you
Gravity keeps me from doing most of the the things i'd like to do
In my head we should be falling
So we walk back up to the beginning and we do it again
In my bed sometimes i feel like falling
But it's feet over head
Six feet over my head
Unglued
Clouds above the cemetery,
Can't even tell the time of day,
They give nothing away,
Reading names of people past,
They're so very close and far away,
But who am I to say?
Trees obscure the borderlines,
there's big weeping willows, all around,
Their branches weight them down.
Remeber when we, came unglued to float by the window?
The neighbours must have had a laugh:
We love to put on a show.
For people who would try to deny
We'll show 'em the pictures.
The only thing that bothers me now is why remeber it here?
Is it true,
As I walk along the beach beside you,
That nothing in the world can find you?
Here's to you!
Let the growing of the trees remind you,
That everything is now behind you.
Ear against a mausoleum,
Eyes on a broken wristwatch hand
My feet still caked with sand.
Remembering when we came unglued
I feel like my heart is beating fast
I can't seem to relax
And people never used to smile
When posing for potraits
It must have been a different time.
No phony, elastic grin.
I feel like that's the real me.
Straight face and a blank stare.
Looking like I never win,
But I feel fine.
Twice in my life I've been sure that a wall was the edge of the world
Turn Up The Radio
An elemental kind of rhapsody
A paper or a pen
A movie that was never meant to end
The kind of silence that will drown you out
The beating of the air
A mystery in need of no repair
Suddenly
You beside of me
Left alone
Turn up the radio
Was it a fatalistic cameo, to show up in a dress?
My reaction was mental I confess
And all the shadows of your funny eyes
Were made for you to stare
I'm glad it was a casual affair
Suddenly
You beside of me
Left alone
Turn up the radio
Hey you
Feel me
Was it worth an apology?
Someday
You'll see
That it's
Not a democrazy
Someday
You'll see
Believe me
Believe me
Someday
You'll see
That it's
Not a democrazy
Suddenly
You beside of me
Left alone
Turn up the radio
Turn up the radio
Fire Away
Is anybody here ok?
Looking for a simple answer.
Show me that you want to stay.
I can make it really happen.
Looking like you stayed awake.
I wish it wasn't such a bright day.
Is anybody here ok?
I can make it really happen.
Fire away!
Fire away!
People around you they are only afraid
