Shoot The Moon

You say you'll never come back again
Same speech, word for word, you gave the last time
Now you sit there on your hands
Grinning like there's nothing wrong
Ticking like a time bomb
I don't have to read no clues
You're lighting your own fuse
Then the sun goes down
With your werewolf howl
Sucking all the air from the room
You're chattier now, flitting around
No I'm not in the mood to screw
Easy to read these signs
There's a change in your eyes
Watching you run off
I don't need to shoot the moon tonight.

These Lions

You caramelize
You Baphom-o-tize
I understand the meanings were mangled
You paralyze as you fill the skies
You were the favorite one of the angels
The flames you gave would warm our lives
You turn us on inside
The world's your woman
Warm and corporeal
I know you were the flaming light
These lions won't roar no more
These lions won't
These lions won't roar no more
These lions won't
You come along to Baphme-tize
I know the meanings were mangled
You paralyze as you fill the skies
You were the favorite one of the angels
The flames you gave would warm the world
Would fill our lives with meaning
You turn us on to worlds unknown
You were the fire burning in the wine
These lions won't roar no more
These lions won't
These lions won't roar no more
These lions won't
I'm the dopest mutherfucker that ever was
'cuz I'm the dopest mutherfucker that ever was
These lions won't roar no more
These lions won't
These lions won't roar no more
These lions won't
I'm the dopest mutherfucker that ever was
Yes I'm the dopest mutherfucker that ever was

Forever Never Was

Brave as you are in your brazen affairs
Have no worry all is lost
Lift up your sweaty hand asking the wrong question
There's nothing, no nothing to be done
The sun will come again to set us aflame
A burning sky with choking dust
Bathe your passions clean in this furnace idol
A flaming sea scorching us
The whole of our shared memory
I'd really rather not think about
what's gone is gone and not coming back
And here comes the sun again to burn everyone
Burn it down and burn it up
Forever is not now and it never really was
Burn it down and burn it up
Where once we feared a cruel god
Groping out for answers
Now there's none
Now there's none
Where once we feared each other
And the horrors of being human
Now there's none
Now there's none
And here comes the sun again to burn everyone
Burn it down and burn it up
The future is not now and it never really was
Burn it down and burn it up
Here comes the sun again to burn everyone
Burn it down and burn it up
Forever is not now and it never really was
Burn it down and burn it up

Whatchu Gonna Do
03:00

The end of time and everything
To come alive like dreaming
The ghosts of light to come
Lift up your mind to see the dimming
The darkened skys,oh, darling eyes,
Hold your head so gently
Go ahead and whisper, "Mind you,
The end of all life's meaning."
Whatchu gonna do, dude?
Whatchu gonna do?
I tried to give a shit, I really did
But I couldn't seem to
"Fill the world with love," they said,
"and it spits love righ tback at you."
But that's all gone.
The chance was lost.
Whatchu gonna do, dude?
Whatchu gonna do?
