Only a Teardrop
03:53
|
|||
Falling, I'm falling,
Falling forever to you,
Falling forever to,
You
Falling forever to me,
Falling forever to,
Me,
Falling forever to you,
Falling forever,
Like the petals of a rose,
In the rain,
Like a shadow,
Descending on my brain,
O!
It's only a teardrop,
Only a teardrop, they say,
But I don't believe,
Those who have never been broken,
Never awoken to the pain,
Never forsaken the day,
For the darkness,
So I'll stay with my teardrop,
Right here in the darkness,
And cry
Like a cop,
Without a gun,
Like a Vampire,
Remembering the sun--O!
I once was your horse,
With hair of gold,
Now I'm crawling like a serpent,
From the garden of your soul,
O!

Strawberry Tresses
04:46
|

I walk around this town,
Pale gown trails behind me,
I'm always looking down,
But my eyes rise, beholding,
Your strawberry tresses fall,
Upon your black velvet dress,
It's hard not to love you,
In this light,
Love, you're so graceful,
Even when you are hateful to me,
I cannot let you go,
Tonight
Windows stained with the blood,
Of an Angel, who can say,
'It's not so bad?' (‘I’m not like that’),
You can play the part of an Angel,
But you always gotta fall,
If you wanna be saved at all.
Anything you want
I'll give you anything you want
At all...
I only ask of you,
For such a little thing,
Your heart upon a silver string,
I mean the thing that makes you sing--
I mean your Soul.
I wander through my mind,
That old apartment building,
Upon a balcony,
I thought I saw you dancing,
When we were younger,
When our shadows were bright,
And golden,
Hard to believe what we believed,
But darling believe me,
When I tell you I love thee,
Every moment with you,
Is the loveliest dream.
Windows stained with the blood,
Of an Angel, who can say,
'It's not so bad?' (‘I’m not like that’),
You can play the part of an Angel,
But you always gotta fall,
If you wanna be saved at all.
Anything you want
I'll give you anything you want
At all...
I only ask of you,
For such a little thing,
Your heart upon a silver string
I mean the thing that makes you sing--
I mean your Soul.
I mean, the distance of the Night,
Between your flame and mine,
Is greater than a lifetime,
Is longer than my life,
I need your soul Tonight.

I am with a Sadness
03:18
|
|||
Sapphires upon the sand,
Scattered like so many blue,
Wildflower blooms,
The delightful Daughters,
Of the sun and seafoam,
Blow perfumed kisses to my heart...
Yet, I am with a sadness,
When I recall your lovely ankles,
I watch the ships at sunset,
To wash with rose-water,
Your lovely ankles,
Upon a ship at sunset is,
My one and only,
wish.
Pearls of purple flame,
Fall from the chatelaine enchained,
As I exclaim,
‘I'm begging you baby
Can’t you just love me
Like you do in every lovely dream?’
O, I am with a sadness,
As I recall your lovely ankles
I smoke upon the balcony--
To blow a silver smoke ring,
Round your ankle,
Upon a balcony of crystal is,
My one and only,
Wish
Don't cry,
Don't cry at all, my love,
But if you do,
Cry into this test tube
For me...
And from your tears, I'll grow a girl,
Who looks like you, who moves like you,
Who understands,
Who understands me completely,
Who knows how to heal me,
When suddenly a phone begins to ring....
Yea, I am with a sadness,
When I recall your lovely ankles,
I daydream on the subway,
Ever and only of your lovely ankles
Dancing in the darkness,
Of my one and only,
Wish

The Garden
05:16
|

Gentle as the rain,
I heard you crying in the garden,
The moonlight on your face,
Made diamonds out the little teardrops,
I don't want you to be blue,
But I am just a servant,
What am I supposed to do,
For a princess cryin’ in the garden?
She said,
'Happiness is frail,
Dream so very fragile,
But evil is so easy,
It can fit within an apple,
Farewell, rose behind the wall,
For within me dwells a serpent,
Guess that's why I wanna fall,
And crawl forever from the garden...
From the garden--O!
From the garden
From the garden...
Satan awaiting,
The breakers of the oath,
Satan a'laughing,
As cops keep killing children.
Satan awaiting,
The breakers of the oath
Satan a'laughing,
As cops keep killing children,
That's why she's cryin’ in the garden,
I can give no consolation,
I hold her in the moonlight,
Behold the constellations,
She won't stop cryin in the garden.
In a (not so) distant age,
Where it's always nighttime,
I dream of you all day,
From my coffin filled with sunshine,
Can you hear me call your name?
Won't you leave your window open?
Will you join me on my way,
As i crawl forever from the garden?
From the garden--O!
From the garden,
From the garden...
Satan awaiting,
The breakers of the oath,
Satan a'laughing,
As cops keep killing children.
Satan awaiting,
The breakers of the oath
Satan a'laughing,
As cops keep killing children,
That's why she's cryin’ in the garden,
I can give no consolation,
I hold her in the moonlight,
Behold the constellations,
She won't stop cryin in the garden...
No,
She won't stop crying in the garden
No,
You won't stop crying in the garden.
No,
I won’t stop crying in the garden.
Lalalalalala...

The Vampire
04:09
|

Love comes,
Drinking my blood,
In the autumn.
She's fine,
Taking her time,
Like a fine wine,
It drips,
Down her lips,
And fingertips,
Down to my bed,
By sunrise again,
You'll find me dead...
You'll find me smiling--
They'll tell you I was suicidal.
You'll find me smiling,
When you're gripped by an unshakeable horror,
You'll find me smiling,
For, I was not alone in that hour,
You'll find me smiling,
For, she rose like a night blooming Flower
To my window,
So I opened my window,
To the night,
To the Vampire.
Behold! Her wings,
Sinister things,
(But beautiful to me, hee hee hee)
Unfold,
Shadows of Gold,
As was foretold,
Foretold to me,
In a minor key,
Every time I pour the tea,
Her will be done,
My innocent one--
Love needs blood...
Farewell reflection--
Already forget what I look like,
No recollection--
Yesterday already feels like a past life,
Yet, Girl, I love you,
And the mystical sadness about you,
I swear to find you,
To fly as a crow to your chamber,
And whisper,
‘Would you take my hand,
Though I am not a man?
I’m a Vampire.’
‘Would you take my hand,
Though I am not a man?’
I’m a Vampire.

In my subterranean crystal mansion,
I’ve been dreaming of you,
With Roses of obsidian on your brow,
Pins of Jade in your hair,
A chandelier,
Swinging like a sun,
Over my shadowy heart,
A very small chandelier,
Swinging like a sun,
Over my shadowy heart.
**
In my Phoenix Chariot we shall ride,
Through Emerald Gates of an Endless Night,
Drink a teardrop from your eye,
Sweet as Eleusinian wine,
A Nightingale,
Balancing a Rose,
On the tip of her wing,
A melancholy nightingale,
Balancing a Rose,
On the tip of her wing.
Something in this moonlight,
Casts the world in Elvish metal,
Like something in her smile,
Make me wanna be someone better.
Lying in her shadow,
Turns this cell into a mansion,
Like something in the peace-pipe,
That may change your understanding...
la da da da dadada la da da da da da dadada da
la da da da dadada la da da da da da dadada da
The Horse with the Golden Hair,
Carrying the Sun,
Through my Shadowy Heart,
The Horse with the Golden Hair,
Balancing a Rose,
On the tip of her wing,
The Horse with the Golden Hair,
The Horse with the Golden Hair,
The Horse with the Golden Hair,
The Horse with the Golden Hair...
