Goddess of my Life
03:14
|

|
Some may say I'm a vampire, babe,
Drinking light from the throat of the goddess of my life,
Some may call me a cannibal, love,
Feeding night after night on the goddess of my life.
Not a day go by that I don't daydream about your face,
Not a day go by that I ain't writing upon my page,
Your name in flames, in flames of white,
Burn through the page into my brain,
Into my heart, into my life,
Into the light,
Put out the light.
***
Some may say, 'somethin' ain't quite right,'
But all is fine, stars align before the goddess of my life,
Some may say that I deserve to die--
So might I! So might I for the goddess of my life!
Not a day go by that I'm not writing upon your wall,
Another day go by, yet you don't return my call-
I call your name into the night,
As flames of pain burn through my mind,
I write your name in sidewalk chalk,
Upon my wall, I wipe it off,
The sunlight falls on our black shawl,
The sunlight falls upon us all.
***
Some may say that I deserve to die,
So might I! So might I! for the goddess of my life.

The One

O Girl, don't tell me that I'm not the only one,
Don't even look at me if I am not the one.
O Girl, don't tell me that I'm not the only one
Don't even think of me if I am not the one
But it's alright now, in the moonlight now,
Yeah it's alright now, for I've got you now,
Yeah it's alright now, my love,
Yeah it's alright now, for now...
Til the morning.
O Girl, don't tell me that I'm not the only one,
O Girl, just cross my name out from your book of love.
But it's alright now, in the moonlight now,
Yeah it's alright now, for I've got you now,
Yeah it's alright now, my love,
Yeah it's alright now, for now...
Alright now, Moonlight now
Alright now, Got you now,
Alright now, My love,
Alright now, for now...
(Til the morning)

Shadows of Pauline

O Pauline,
Did you take my soul when you took my picture,
At that party years ago?
For ever since, I've been different, distant,
Like a mist around a rose who grows unknown.
Where did you go? Where did you go?
Where did you go? Where did you go?
**
O Pauline,
I was at the bar upon the night you were last seen,
I beheld an Angel in the lamplight,
In a velvet gown of emerald, beckoning,
My sweet Pauline, My sweet Pauline,
My sweet Pauline, Oh you Were beckoning to me!
My sweet Pauline, where are you now?
Where are you now?
Where are you now?
(OK)
I fell for it for the last time.
I fell for it for the last time.
I fell for it for the last time.
I fell for it for...
**
Pauline,
You've carved your name into the binding of my being,
I still hear you singing, and how
Your song became a scream as you tumbled from the balcony.
Now, I sing it back to thee,
My sweet Pauline, My sweet Pauline,
My sweet Pauline--This melody I sing to thee,
My sweet Pauline, where are you now, my sweet Pauline?
Where are you now? Where are you now? Where are you now?
Where are you now?
I fell for it for the last time.
I fell for it for the last time.
I fell for it for the last time.
I fell for it for,
Pauline,
Pauline,
Pauline,
Pauline.

Spotlight of The Night
03:48
|
|
||
|
All alone,
Checking my phone,
Minor chords revolving
Upon my six-string,
As joy flies away,
Like a swan into the twilight,
And I'm thrown into the spotlight,
The spotlight of the night.
Yeah joy dies away,
Like a wine gone sour--
I don't think I got the power,
To bear the spotlight of the night.
**
Drinking my wine,
Listening to you cry,
Watering the roses,
Dreaming of the ocean,
For we're both sad today,
We cry but we can't help it,
It was something we were born with,
But don't you dare despair,
For Joy finds a way,
To grace this Gothic romance,
Darling, might I have the first dance,
Beneath the spotlight of the night?
**
I found myself beside a fountain at midnight,
I washed my face in the crystalline water,
You were there with a rose stuck in your hair,
You were there with a lantern in your hand....
**
When I return to me,
O! I'm laughing in the basement,
For though I'm alone in the basement,
I'm in the spotlight of my Life,
And Love shall remain,
Like a Flame (!) begotten of the Swan but not forgotten,
By the spotlight of the night,
Yeah though we're suffering,
We cry but we can't help it,
Til we die we shall withstand it,
Stand the spotlight of the night,
For Joy finds a way,
To grace this Gothic romance,
Darling, might I have the first dance,
Beneath the spotlight of the night?
O Darling, might I have the first dance beneath the spotlight of the night?
(One more time)
Might I have the first dance beneath the spotlight of the night?

Spanish Veil
03:56
|
|
||
|
To go beneath your Spanish Veil,
To linger on the eyes that wait,
Beneath your Spanish veil each day,
A Rose locked in a garden gate,
A Rose that blooms only for Me,
the Unicorn who trusted thee,
Nestled in your Maiden's gown,
As the silver spears came down,
The Unicorn who trusted thee--
The curse that you bear silently,
Beneath your Spanish Veil...
To go beneath your Spanish veil,
I would trade my place in this ugly world,
To go beneath your Spanish Veil,
I would die.
**
Some seekers seek to see beyond,
This lonely world for something more,
But I am not so lofty, no!
To place myself within their school,
For I only wish to see your face,
The light beneath the Darkling Door,
I only wish to see your face,
My mind is broke but my soul is pure!
Enough for your Spanish veil...
To go inside your Emerald Eyes,
I'd forsake the day for an endless night,
To go inside your emerald eyes,
I would die.
**
And if your nurse is on to me,
I'll wear a gown, shave my face clean,
Tie fine ribbon to my braid,
Apply to be your chambermaid,
Then finally I'll see your face,
I'll draw your bath before you wake,
Finally I'll see your face,
They'll hang me but I'll die in grace!
Before your Spanish veil...
To go beneath your Spanish veil,
I would trade my place in this ugly world,
To go beneath your Spanish Veil,
I would die.
To go beneath your Spanish Veil,
I would die,
I would die,
I would die.
