Poltergeist, share your life with me
Fear no lie, you'll hypnotize me
We can sit in my room and listen to tunes,
You'll turn into my world, you'll become my first
Poltergeist, (I'll) listen to you!
You know so much more things, but see, I am no fool
And when the telephone rings, will you pick it up?
'Cause while it does, I'll be here in the lineup

And the days, they drag on until our mother calls
The days, oh the days until I saw your birth
For the low, low price of eternity
I will learn learn to fight and make sure they bleed
His name is Artemis
His name is Artemis
His name is Artemis
Fools, they think that they can see him now
Fools, he'll turn you into a haunted stag
Alas, they'll find no luck
You'll turn them into mush
His name is Artemis
His name is Artemis
His name is Artemis
Find me a tune to sing
Follow the moon in peace
Find me a tune to sing
Follow the moon in peace
His name is Artemis
His name is Artemis
His name is Artemis

Gloria, I know you know my name
Gloria, I think you're pretty
You glow with such a pure light
You boast some mighty satellites
And when the other stars look to you
Some fill with envy, others say, "ooh!"
And those that think they're better know they're wrong,
Because they stutter with their words!
Gloria, I know you know my name
Gloria, why do you shy away?
As you blink past the horizon,
I'll wait another night until you come back
And when the other stars look to you
Some fill with envy, others say, "ooh!"
And those that think they're better know they're wrong,
Because they stutter with their words!
Gloria, I love you
Yeah, I really, really do
...Well...
And when the other stars look to you
Some fill with envy, others say, "ooh!"
And those that think they're better know they're wrong,
Because they stutter with their words!

Charlotte Ashville
Is the name of a girl
Who came to my town
And burned all my houses down
Fear not stranger,
No people were in danger
For in my town,
I am the only one
In the fight,
It was terrible and frightening
And I think I mighta' got
Hit by lightning once
When it was over,
There was a field of clovers
That the flames refused
To get any closer to
I mighta' lost my life that day
I was just lucky to get away
And when the silence set so softly,
Knew I was less than lucky
She came back for revenge
In the name of the dead because
It turned out that she wasn't too
Human after all
I saw my fall, 'cause she was
On the wall I'd been
Building up for the
Past few days or so
When she came 'round
To the field of the town
The clovers disappeared
And she left me quietly
Soon I realized
What a terrible crime I'd done
To her mind and
She'd done all her time
And so ran all across the world,
I ended up here, so I'm good
Well I was just lucky to land on top,
Charlotte Ashville's been stopped

Blooming

When you rose up, in the mornings
And I could see the rain on your pedals
Foolishly, I thought I could save you
Wasn't quite right, now I'm up all night
Sinners sin, and mourners mourn,
And I thought I could touch your thorns
Missing your beauty, now I'm torn
Pricked my thumb, now I'm feeling dumb
Flowers are in bloom when you leave your room
There's no rose, without a thorn
So I'll wait for you to say something more,
Stood right there in a silent stare
Bees in tune, your daunting gloom
But the nectar's gone, and I'm all alone,
What to do now when we've fallen out?
Flowers are in doom when you leave your room

Here's to hope
And a day's
Worth of work,
Spent away
And I know
The oranges don't
Grow for a month
Small, for today,
But I'll wait
For the oranges to grow and bloom
Into the grove it was
Meant to be, just like you and me
Why can't we be like the people on TV?
And I know why
Deep down inside
I'm afraid to admit it
But I know it's right
We were there, but all alone
Separated by a screen on the phone

I can never say your name
I can't play your little games
I'm too busy, cleaning up the toys
All their cotton cobwebs drop,
I've been seeing, but not the top
Fill me with dread, fill me with dread
And the morning always comes
You retreat into your little home
Boys will be boys, boys will be boys
I'll touch them with my eyes
But I can't see their inner lies
Please take me there, please take me there
Blood is almost as sweet
As the daydreams I might dream
Cold like metal, steaming like coal
It seems I'm foaming at the mouth
Am I insane or just a man?
I can't tell, they're both the same
Without a name
Whenever you play with me,
You make me see things I don't see
They're all red, they're all red
Flourish and sprout as spring comes,
I'll be waiting be the tree stump
That used to be a flower, and you, a bee

The Sirens
03:15

|
I'm not afraid to end, I'm only afraid of the canaries
That close their eyes and fade away with
Gaping arteries and broken bones
I wish I could've kept them in their cages
But they flew away and never returned home
(The stairs, they wind up
They scream, I'll be right down
Just wait for the sirens
They'll be here anytime now)
I saw you standing in the black lilies
They were gnawing at your ankles,
They sucking down your tongue
I stood in front of you, unable to do
Anything, anything at all
(The stairs, they wind up
They scream, I'll be right down
Just wait for the sirens
They'll be here anytime now
The stairs, they wind up
I scream, spiraling down
Just wait for the sirens
They'll never ever come now
Now)

Waking up
At 4:30 in the afternoon
I hope they're gone
Always just wanted to be alone
And now I'm here, at my wake
I hope they come back anyway
And now you know me
Well enough to see it on my face
And now you see right through me
Goddamn, I wish you were replaced
Sometimes
Even though you're on my side,
I'll still fight you, despite you
Being right
"You know I can't take you seriously"
Fell asleep
At the same time this time of day
In the sun's wake
I'll be running away
And I know, I know, I know
Okay
Okay
I lied
"Again? (oh yeah) again."
Is it true? Could I be blue?
Am I okay?
I'll find out tomorrow
And that's that
Leave it alone
I'll just keep moving on in my life
Everything all right in my head, what is the time?
I'm sick of feeling desolate in a room full of people
Must get lost in my thoughts often,
Didn't realize that I'd get so rotten
And then I wander off...
And sometimes I think about flowers,
Or the sound of rain
