CHORUS: If you want to dance with me tonight, then you will be the only girl by my side. In the morning don't call my name, cuz things won't be the same. You don't know what I need You, no you don't want me Don't you see I'll only make you bleed You, no you don't want me CHORUS You don't know what I need You, no you don't want me Don't you see I'll only make you bleed You, no you don't want me CHORUS (x2)

It was the year that you were living in London I just couldn't get my head out the clouds We were talking about loving or leaving or something After I wrote this song you took the first airliner out My little angel didn't want to be trapped in a townhouse But those subway bathrooms always made you blush Just look out your window, the pub is right across from Roundhouse I hope you scream my name in your alcoholic rush CHORUS: One more year, one more year These narrow streets can be so claustrophobic And the moon tends to suffocate a soul at night You'll have to learn to live life anaerobic No one's gonna breathe white noise into you by daylight So tell them all about your aesthetic, all about your goals In your designer skin and sponsored red blood cells Regurgitate the info before we all become too old But no one gives a fuck about what you're here to sell CHORUS

Dark crimson day, all modern machines Confections of oil, steel and steam These days the truth is not what it seems Raise your fists to the falling beams CHORUS: Blow it all straight to hell (x2) Success, it smells like gasoline Success, it smells like blood How many lifetimes will it be Before they drill us from the mud? I've heard somewhere over the rainbow is a better world in which to lie Yeah, somewhere over the rainbow, a better world in which to die CHORUS It's a jungle out there Hope you've come prepared Thousand yard stare Grabs you by the hair Straight to hell

Baby, tell me all that you know No angels, no muses, or nuclear snow To be by the warming light of your skin The notes in your inflection that let me back in It's such a thing to laugh about The ways this light will wring you out Return to me, return to me The time we wasted readily Just one bright day, with no more rain CHORUS: In the cold black ether, a star is born Moving from my vessels into yours The tiny planets that we create Watch us as our bodies break Let's tie our tethers to the titan in Spring Shine a light for the debutantes, the pigs on the wing Sacred and profane, gasoline and propane The letter of the law does not deliver on our plane I'm a vagabond begging you for more Let me swallow all that you abhor Your brown-eyed beauty, shot with golden trim A lake of stars where angels drown and the unconverted swim Just one bright day, with no more rain CHORUS: In the city of angels, a star is born Moving from my vessels into yours The tiny planets that we create Watch us as our bodies break I look up and see your face in the moon The winter is coming and I must leave here soon You tell me stories, sing me songs, then turn away For morning breaks my heart when I must rise to meet the day A star that guided sailor's ships, a star that moved the sages' lips A star that told us stories old, a star that keeps away the cold A star that lights the meeting place, a star that lets me see your face A star that will engulf the Earth when stars at night no longer burn No, no more rain, no more sad refrains CHORUS
