Before The Moon Falls

Shhhh!
We are private detectives onward back from a musical pilgrimage
We work under the name of the Fall
Who would suspect this? It is too obvious
Our office is secluded
Those there to suspect would not see the wood for the trees
We were six like dice but we're back to five
Up here in the North there's no wage packet jobs for us, thank Christ
While young married couples
Discuss the poverties of their self-built traps
And the junior clergy demand more cash
We spit in their plate and wait for the ice to melt
I must create a new regime
Or live by another man's
Before the moon falls
Before the moon falls
I must create a new scheme
Get out of others' hands
Before the moon falls
Before the moon falls
I could use some pure criminals
And get my hands on some royalties
Before the moon falls
Before the moon falls
A problem of this new scheme
Is answering obscene phone calls
Before the moon falls
Before the moon falls
Gotta stop drifting around
Kill this ugly duckling
We've got the power
And must not misuse it 'cause life is short and full of thought
I use the power
I use the power
And I will forever
End this reign of terror
Before the moon falls
Before the moon falls
Before the moon falls
Before the moon falls
Before the tide subsides
Before the moon falls for the fifth time, before the moon falls
Before the moon falls
Before The Fall swoons
Before The Fall swoons

The Only One I Know

The only one I know
Has come to take me away
The only one I know
Is mine when she stitches me
The only one I see
Has found and aching in me
The only one I see
Has turned her tongue into me
Everyone has been burned before
Everybody knows the pain
The only one I know
Never cries, never opens her eyes
The only one I know
Wide awake and then she's away
The only one I see
Is mine when she walks down our street
The only one I see
Has carved her way into me
Everyone has been burned before
Everybody knows the pain
Everyone has been burned before
Everybody knows the pain
Everyone has been burned before
Everybody knows the pain
Everyone has been burned before
Everybody knows the pain

Lips Like Sugar

She floats like a swan
Grace on the water
Lips like sugar
Lips like sugar
Just when you think you've caught her
She glides across the water
She calls for you tonight
To share this moonlight
You'll flow down her river
She'll ask and you'll give her
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
She knows what she knows
I know what she's thinking
Sugar kisses
Sugar kisses
Just when you think she's yours
She's flown to other shores
To laugh at how you break
And melt into this lake
You'll flow down her river
But you'll never give her
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
She'll be my mirror
Reflect what I am
Loser and winner
The king of Siam
And my Siamese twin
Alone in the river
Mirror kisses
Mirror kisses
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses

Something Inside Me Has Died

I have crept
In your ugly world
I have slept
In every way
I have something
Nobody can steal
You have nothing
Because I’m for real

Something Inside Me Has
Has
Died
Died
I don't know
Where I’ll be in a thousand years
It don't show
I've hid it well behind my other tears
In the shadow
Of where you stand in my light
It's so shallow
No need to fight

Because something inside me has
Has
Has
Died
Died

Damaged Goods

The change will do you good
I always knew it would
Sometimes I'm thinking that I love you
But I know it's only lust
Your kiss so sweet
Your sweat so sour
Your kiss so sweet
Your sweat so sour
Your kiss so sweet
Your sweat so sour
Sometimes I'm thinking that I love you
But I know it's only lust
The sins of the flesh
Are simply sins of lust
Sweat's running down your neck
Sweat's running down your back
Heated surface in the sun
Colder surface in the night (never saw your body)
Your kiss so sweet
Your sweat so sour
Sometimes I'm thinking that I love you
But I know it's only lust
A change will do you good
I always knew it would
You know the change will do you good
You know the change will do you good
Damaged goods
Send 'em back
I can't work, I can't achieve
Send 'em back
Open the till
Give me the change you said would do me good
Your kiss so sweet
Your sweat so sour
Sometimes I'm thinking that I love you
But I know it's only lust
The change will do you good
I always knew it would
You know the change will do you good
You know the change will do you good
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye (bye)
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye (bye)
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye (bye)
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye (bye)

Here Without You

A hundred days have made me older

Since the last time that I saw your pretty face

A thousand lies have made me colder

And I don't think I can look at this the same

All the miles that separate

Disappear now when I'm dreamin' of your face

I'm here without you baby

But you're still on my lonely mind

I think about you baby and I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby

But you're still with me in my dreams

And tonight, there's only you and me.

The miles just keep rollin'

As the people leave their way to say hello

I've heard this life is overrated

But I hope that it gets better as we go.
I'm here without you baby

But you're still on my lonely mind

I think about you baby and I dream about you all the time

I'm here without you baby

But you're still with me in my dreams

And tonight girl, there's only you and me.

Everything I know, and anywhere I go

It gets hard but it won't take away my love

And when the last one falls, when it's all said and done.

It gets hard but it won't take away my love

I'm here without you baby

But you're still on my lonely mind

I think about you baby and I dream about you all the time

I'm here without you baby

But you're still with me in my dreams

And tonight girl, there's only you and me

Nowhere Girl

Nowhere girl you're living in a dream
Nowhere girl you stay behind the scenes
Nowhere girl you never go outside
Nowhere girl cause you prefer to hide

Every day, every night
In that all old familiar light
You hung up when I called you at home
And I try to get through
Ant I try to talk to you
But there's something stopping me from getting through
Nowhere girl what you have you need
Nowhere girl all functional and neat
Nowhere girl in self-imposed exile
Nowhere girl a martyr-like denial

Every day, every night
In that all old familiar light
You hung up when I called you at home
And I try to get through
And I try to talk to you
But there's something stopping me from getting through
Every day, every night
In that all old familiar light
You hung up when I called you at home
And I try to get through
And I try to talk to you
But there's something stopping me from getting through
