Ever think when beat, perhaps with a little flair, you can rescue everything, if love’s the game, heaven’s best to share, all that bears a good name, when in depths of need, will you be taking care, it's not an easy thing, getting there’s insane, pockets full of tears, even on the lord's freeway, can you ever keep, a wooden face at fairs, drink your sole conceit, find something else to tame, pass hours on hard chairs, even struck in chains, will everyone see, the gaps between my fears, eyes lit like kerosene, my hopes shining clear?

Felicity

This is not the place, to ask the reason why, love beats an easy escape, a sky of hazed tomorrows, shades a lonely time, nowhere else to go, soaked before a window pane, desolate in my cry, why try to emulate, what little's left to know, whoever can send awry, coffin's one-way show, when I haul the rail, boxcar trains safe to ride, eyes of men turn away, no one's lips will glow, near this sweetheart’s eyes, hard as an icy furrow, no easy gig to make, what gets left inside, take poems to the grave, eyes open wide.

Is this how we iniciate, our inventive best, when we twist and fake, open every door, ask for proper sustenance, wake up sore, fuelled by what we take, behave like all the rest, sinking to negotiate, fools sing for applause, faith our last bequest, two and two make four, the night's cool probate, provides a gentle whisper, hurt comes at walking pace, the drunken poor, beg us for presents, they leave open the door, searching for fame, scattering inocence, rushing us away, lost on the sacraments.

I stay by the door, my face a savage hue, the hurt is swollen raw, brook no sense of ease, don't expect to Queue, will never say please, am not defined by chores, waiting here in gloom, everyone has a clause, it’s hard on every street, no one hears good news, we have no drums to beat, I still clench my jaws, think of a life anew, sweat in furious noise, won't shout and scream, spitting out a spume, only fools take heed, can you hear them roar, losers blow a fuse, all we've beeen taught, rests with you.

If it’s in your blood, this house of whispers, screams it does no good, places you want to claim, haven't had justice, still sing on hot freeways, time itself goes bust, something vague's no bonus, being prepared’s a must, find another way, simply do what needs insist, knowledge never fails, maybe we need a tug, to sail without a ship, when sun lifts the fog, search for love again, walk the middle distance, never bow to shame, the Ocean's always good, why make a fuss, many a life's in trouble, here for all of us.

I’m set to scream, heart a fusebox tripped, someone get me free, in your eyes amour, do what's right and kiss say you know the score, rock me gently, don't let me slip, sing I've got you baby, the poor of lost souls, all enlist, to rock around my floor, glamorous perfect dreams, call me your little miss, tell me I'm a Queen, wish me a good night, decline to mess or quip, take a toil of water, a star across the sea, I'm at home on ships, movement's my slipstream, you are still a kid.

Forget all the clowns, that come to woo you, so many without a yanna, as loud as their woes, ships blow their hooters, every note sings of home, just not what’s gone, that makes them swoon, but you on your throne, your face deadpan, in a bar full of losers, they think you're grand, nothing comes by chance, let the eyes be ruined, everything comes to pass, raise your head and laugh, what can they do to you, counter countenance, strange these ocean towns, all their faded boozers, they need someone to crown, even from the sewer.
