vaguely emo enough for song lyrics!
The Gambler
Roll that dice again again
Once or twice you’ll reel me in
What I’ve got is not what I came for
I’ll keep coming back for more
Lay your head upon my chest
The odds are slim but isn’t that the test
In this game you either bend or break
And I don’t know what kind of mess we’ll make
Come on lay your head upon my chest
Come on, come on
Come on, come on
Spin that wheel, spin that wheel, spin that wheel.
Pull the trigger load the gun
The journey home has only just begun
We could rise but if we swan-dive too
Oh I’ll love going down with you
(come on pull the trigger load the gun)
Come on, come on
Come on, come on
Spin that wheel, spin that wheel, spin that wheel
Come on, come on
Come on, come on
Spin that wheel, spin that wheel, spin that wheel
Slow Journey no. 2
Well I dreamt about you
About leaving without you
And going on a slow journey
Where no roads are marked and
A black dog is barking
Going on a slow journey
And the neon will light my face
Like a ghost girl
Like an empty space
In the trip and the trigger
This world’s getting bigger
Going on a slow journey
Did you think you could hear me
Or see me more clearly
Going on a slow journey
Cos I’ve walked so long I
Know what trail I’m on
I’m going on a slow journey
And that old crow
Is gonna rise up soon
And peck out
The eyes of the moon
And I’m not gonna see those
Million souls in the shadows
Lost in the slow journey
Tear It All Down
Pressed up against this shop front
Drawing faces there in Crayon
It's a long way from the pocket full of rain
And you have walked the streets for hours
With your loose change and your flowers
And now I'll learn your body like a nursery rhyme in braille
It's a simple explanation for the paths that you have taken
You have stumbled from the cradle to a prayer
But in this darkened room we have got heart enough to burn
We can dance away the hours we can leave our questions there
And we'll tear it all down
So welcome to our winning streak no broken bones or old deceits
Its you and me versus this little town
We're the rag dolls in the gutter we're the curses that they'll mutter
And you will still be trying on my heart just like a crown
And we'll tear it all down
I know your tactics all the practice this bravery took
And the flags are flying you're trying out a different look
So there's a candle in the window I've got a lousy history of tomorrows
So I'll spill the beans in every little sound
You are the creaking of the door you are the chorus of applause
You are wishbones and the axis that these songs will spin around
Razor Valentine
I love you like a whisper
I love you all alone
I love you like a murder babe
I'm burying the bones
I love you like the last shot
At the bottom of the bottle
I love you razor valentine
I love you like the dancing dust
I love you like the static
I love you like the tarmac
Loves the kiss of morning traffic
I Love you like the factory smoke
Wraps it arms around the sky
I love you razor valentine
Oh I've been moving kind of slow don't you think so?
Oh I've been taming bloody hearts into valentines
I love you like a ruin babe
I love you like a crime
I love you like a drunk
At the sound of closing time
I love you as the seconds on my tongue
Are running wild
I love you razor valentine
