1.99TH DREAM
Before the setting sun reclines
We hear Westminster chimes
You've gone to stealing cars
From Mars bars
And never fail
Always in your painted nails
One day we'll work the world
Without these stimulants
And as thought bubbles form above you
You know that I have always loved you
I love your ways
Love your little ways
Love your ways
Somewhere up in the sky
The Hindenburg still flies
You're still flying from the night before
Last night the big score
As we lie half in traction
And in stereo start to dream
Architecture, nature, alcohol
Space travel, rock n roll
Shop windows at night
And endless possibilities
The mannequin's blank face
Reflecting how you feel
So glamorous and surreal
It's a thin veneer
And something's got to give out here
I'm dreaming number 99
Get me to the world on time
I love your ways
I love your little ways
Love your ways
2.UP FROM THE SEA
It comes up from the sea
In need of empathy
In need of something seen
You saved them all for me
It's true it's made to be
I hope you'll stay a while
Life springs eternally
In ways so clear to see
Becomes the air I breathe
These words that I can't say
The gifts she brings today
Are timeless in their own way
Up from the sea
It's all for me
Up from the sea
She comes up from the sea
Becomes the song I breathe
She sings what I can't say
Life springs eternally
In need of empathy
I hope you'll stay awhile
3.SHE WEAVES A TENDER TRAP
You know she weaves a tender trap
Once you're there's no turning back
She don't even feed you
How does it feel to be fine
Then you're hanging off her line
She don't even thrill you
I will always see it through
I may break my back for you
I have found that it's all true
Are you waiting for the world to get it?
If you're waiting for the world forget it
I'm not waiting for the world
You know she weaves a tender trap
Once you're there's no turning back
She don't even feed you
How does it feel to be drained
Now you're hanging off her train
She don't even thrill me
Take your time don't let it fall
I'm the one who always calls
You're the one for whom life means so
Are you waiting for the world to get it?
If you're waiting for the world forget it
I'm not waiting for the world
You know she weaves a tender trap
Once you're there's no turning back
She don't even believe you
How does it feel to be torn
Then you're hanging off her lawn
She won't even bereave you
I'm the one to see it through
Girl the living final proof
I have found that it's all true
4.THESE TIMES
We live through these times
And never change the way we are
We've seen through their lies
So don't ever say it's one too far
We've been to these heights
With open arms and ways to fly
We live through these times
And never change
Your time was not mine
I traced you down to an untwinned town
We'd laugh all the while
Playing games with names of passer-by
We drank all your wine
With the Stooges high and a Bunnymen-style
