Big Dark Room

Something in the attic,
says there's something in the basement,
but something in the hallway just laughed.
Something in my head says there's something out there...
just outside my room, just outside my room...
Something in the floor is tapping out a song.
Just outside my room.
Something in the ceiling starts to sing along.
Just outside my room.
Something in attic ran across the wall
to meet up with the basement
and the laugher in the hall.
Something in my belly,
tells me that they'll be here soon.
Just outside my room.
Something over here, something over there,
something made of nothing goes blowing through my hair,
something in my ear says,
“they’ll be here soon.”
Just outside my room,
just outside my room!
Don't come out here my dear.
There's nothing out here for you.
Believe us when we say it's better that you stay,
safe inside your room...
Don't come out here my dear.
There's nothing out here for you.
Believe us when we say
it's better that you stay,
safe inside your room,
locked inside your room
What would people say
if they could see,
who or what you are?
You're just too weird...
You're just too odd...
Believe us when we say,
it's better that you stay
safe inside your room, locked inside your room!
Something in my room says,
there's so much here for you.
Something in that thought makes me smile.
Something in my heart says,
my friend has been the dark...
and it's been here all this while....
It's been here all this while!
Don't come out here my dear.
There's nothing out here for you.
Believe us when we say
it's better that you stay,
safe inside your room.
I won't come out there my dears
There's nothing out there for me
Believe me when I say
it's better that I stay...
Safe inside my room...
Locked inside my room...
Safe inside my...
Locked inside my..
Come inside,
your all invited … to my...
Big, dark, dark, dark, big dark room!

Shiny Objects
04:36
|
|||
Boys and girls
come out to play
the moon is shining
bright as day,
let's go....Let's go!
Leave your supper and
leave your sleep,
come out with your friends
into the street,
let's go...Let's go!
Time to go back,
undo what has become,
like once upon a time
the streets will come alive
with a good old-fashion fun.
Come with a laugh,
come with the call,
come out for fun or not at all,
let's go...Let's go!
Up a ladder and down a wall
through crack and crevice
come one come all,
let's go...Let's go!
Wail the guitar,
sound the bass and drums,
like once upon a time
the scene will come alive,
with good old-fashion fun.
Not above their heads
But within their hearts
The night looked up at them with love
And counted them among it's stars...
And counted them among it's stars...
The night looked up at them with love
And they sang...the night is ours!
Man the treehouse,
raise the flag,
come out to sing,
come out to dance,
let's go...Let's go!
Shiny objects fall and smash
if this is our moment
let's make it last
we might never get another
chance!
The time is right now,
the stage and street are ours,
like once upon a time
we will come alive,
like once upon a time
we will ignite,
like once upon a time
we will unite
for good old-fashion fun...

Fritz Throw the Switch
03:02
|
|||
Oh woe is me
Such lonely nights are these
I need to make a friend
Bring me back to life to dance again.
Fritz, throw the switch, stand back!
I think he twitched
I wanna dance, I wanna twist
So Fritz, throw the switch!
What a shock! What a thrill!
Wires smoke! Sparks spill!
But yet all is still...So please...
If you will!
(Chorus)
From the dark
and the mist
Lurched a form tightly stitched
With a smile and a hand
My new friend said “lets dance”
(Chorus)

Welcome to the night, my darling
It’s all gonna be alright.
We’ll hold you now forever tight and ever...
We will be right here.
Even if you fall we will never let you go... My dear
No matter where you land we’ll fly and find you there
My dear
Welcome, welcome to the night
Welcome to the night my darling
It’s all gonna be alright.
We’ll hold you now forever tight and ever...
We will be right here.
The sky, the trees, the moon, the stars are yours
My dear
May they guide you to wonders and then lead you home
My dear
And may our love carry you wherever your heart may lead.
Welcome my darling, welcome my dear, welcome to the night
Welcome to the night my darling
It’s all gonna be alright.
We’ll hold you now forever tight and ever...
We will be right here.

Baby Fangs
04:02
|
|
||
We watched their smiles fade
Their eyes go all wide
We knew they finally
Knew they finally
Finally lost their child
So smile, smile
The fiend, the fiend that you are
The days of cute and sunshine
Raise'em right and setting sound.
The parade to a steady drumbeat
In a word comes crashing down
So smile, smile
The fiend, the fiend that you are
And there before the children
an angel breathed it's last
A thought it shared in passing was,
"My god they grow up so fast!"
You thought you knew
who you brought into this world
Your darling little boy,
your precious little girl
All of your pride, all but denial
Torn by baby fangs when you...
Ripped by baby fangs when you...
Chorus

Your Grave Eyes
05:34
|
|||
I see your eyes,
strangers in the crowd
Wanderers for all of time,
unseen the world around
I meet your eyes,
fresh in the snow
Graves for you and I?
Where even death fears to go?
Please tell me what's like behind...
Your grave eyes
I need to know who or what you are...
Down deep inside
I never knew what it's like to be alive...
Till tonight
I want to be with you inside...
your grave eyes
Hold me in your grave eyes.
Where your tears of joy and sadness lie
I want them all undenied
And I want to give you mine
Bury me in your grave eyes,
in all your dreams outside time
into the arms of your night sky
for deathless eons in your eyes...
I'll forever shine
(Chorus)
Here's to forever, farewell to the past
We're the long losts, together at last.
Just you and me, our world to see
Buried together, and forever we’ll be...
In our grave eyes

Skeleton Thief
05:11
|
|
||
There's mischief in his means
And purpose in his deeds
Yours but for a moment
A moment's all he needs
I have nowhere left to hide
I have nothing left to leave
Sir it's time we met up for a drink
because I'm tired
of tracking you down
of chasing you around
I'm tired of tracking u down
I'm tired of chasing you around
I'm tired of tracking u down
I'm tired of chasing you around
So tired of chasing you around
Round and round and round.
Skeleton thief...
I've flirted and oh I have teased
Met your eyes and walked away
You knew where I was, always
So content to watch and wait
Well sir our time has finally come
I've kept you waiting long enough
Let's come alone and leave together
Because I'm done
With tracking u down
With chasing you around
I'm done with tracking u down
I'm done with chasing you around
I'm done with tracking u down
I'm done with chasing you around
So done with chasing you around
Round and round and round.
Skeleton thief...

Tonight
05:01
|
|||
I always knew,
all along,
even though you went away you were never gone.
When I sleep,
before I wake
that's where you wait for me that's where you say...
I'm always with you,
just like you always knew
Hush now it's alright,
I'll stay with you tonight
It's been so long
I've missed you so
And all songs you sang to me,
In sunshine and in storms.
Now I can lay down my head
Close my eyes,drift away and your with me once again, singing...
(Chorus)
I always knew,
all along,
even though you went away you were never gone.
When I sleep,
before I wake
that's where I wait for you that's where I say...
Time will try
but won't succeed
What it takes everyday
The night.......brings back...
Brings......you...back to me, to me, to me, tonight.
I'm always with you,
just like you always knew
Hush now it's alright,
I'll stay with you...
I'm always with you, just like you always knew
Hush now it's alright, I'll stay with you, I’ll stay with you tonight...

Bishop's Grave
04:45
|

Along came a suitor.
Who shook my splendid web
I rose and turned with a lady's grace
and saw with eyes glowing red
Who would dare tempt their fate?
A fool for sure come to play?
All too soon it will be too late. Here at Bishop's Grave.
Slowly through the darkness
his heart beat through my web.
There he stood with ring and rose
but all I saw was red.
Who would dare tempt their fate?
A fool for sure come to play?
All too soon it will be too late. Here at Bishop's Grave.
Will you? In a whisper
Will you? Asked the brave
Will you? Came the question...
to me at Bishop’s Grave
Everything is still now,warm and divine.
As I bask in an aftermath caught in a black diamonds shine.
Heavy is now the finger of I who weaved the web.
And its hard to know where the rose petals end and his sweet taste begins.
He who dared to tempt his fate.
A fool for sure here to stay.
Together forever from this day here at Bishop’s Grave.

One Night At a Time
05:28
|

One night… at a time
Tonight…is yours and mine
Tonight, tonight is yours and mine...
is yours and mine...Tonight, tonight, tonight...
U say by chance we meet
And think that I believe, oh no...
Another night the longest yet
talking past the last cigarette
Be still my heart your hand to mine
your frankenstein vintage valentine.
By lighters light I read each line.
"To you, to us, two hearts combined...
to every night till the end of time..."
One night at a time, I will take it slow
One night at a time, how long till I let you know?
My heart, my love, my all, can't wait for you...
For you!
For you, one night at a time
Trying to let you know
One night at a time
I won't let you go
My heart, my love, my all, can't wait for you...
For you! For you! For you! For you!

I had a face on the mirror
I had a hand on the gun
I had a place in the sun and a
Ticket to Syria
Had everything within my reach
Had money and stuff
Each and every call
Too much but never enough
Tear it up and watch it fall
We are coming down
We fall
Hand in hand in hand in hand
We are coming down
We fall
We are coming down
But we will
Never never land
Had everything within my reach
Had money and stuff
Each and every call
Too much but never enough
Tear it up and watch it fall
