Still

In the shapes left behind
& the turn of the dance
All those quiet spaces
You don't understand

In the light falling slowly
& the shift of the sand
You don't see the same patterns
To all your grand plans

In the quick of a smile
And the heat of the moment
You forget the reason
For the places you're going

But in the shapes left behind
& the turn of the dance
In those quiet spaces
Are the answers you demand

Still, you'll have to take that chance
For a moment in the turn of the dance

Sleek City Night

Outside my window
The moon's cracked a smile
And I can't help feeling
That the joke's on me
Late night blues
Leaving me cold
Better go out and get me
Some kind of rock 'n' roll

Better hurry honey
It's a sleek city night
The music rubs right past you
Then cuts you like a knife

Better hurry honey
It's a night of neon signs
Lighting up your dreams
Then laying down those lines

And I can't help feeling
The joke's on me
Late night blues
Leaving me cold
Better go out and get me
Some kind of rock 'n' roll

Tenderly

Well I've heard it said you're now running free
I don't know what from, hope it wasn't from me
If I captured your heart it was only to see
If I could win you over tenderly

Run if you must there's a hill to climb
An ocean of difference and plenty of time
I was never hoping to hold you
But if you wanted to be mine
I should've probably told you
And tried to make it rhyme

Well I've heard it said you're now running free
I don't know what from, hope it wasn't from me
If I captured your heart it was only to see
If I could win you over tenderly

Lady Shark

Lady shark swims on the bottom of the seas
Wreathed in her teeth are the tatters of her dreams
And in her eyes there’s never a tear
Because all she tastes is your cold-hearted fear

Catch her by her silver tail
Ride’s like a roll in chain mail
But if you try to pull her fin
Beware darling, of her grin

She likes
To bite
She likes
To bite
She likes
To bite
Lord knows
She likes
To bite

Lady shark swims away
Dead in the flesh cold light of day
Nothing but the mettle of the kiss she bestows
Tastes of your blood and yesterday’s clothes

Catch her by her silver tail
Ride’s like a roll in chain mail
But if you try to pull her fin
Beware darling, of her grin

She likes
To bite
She likes
To bite
She likes
To bite
Lord knows
She likes
To bite

Lady shark

Hunt her down
Trap her in your nets
Watch her drown
Ladies place your bets
Gape open wide
To the wild night air
Veins pumping ice
Red adrenalin glare
Lady Shark is gasping
But she still don’t care

She likes
To bite
She likes
To bite
She likes
To bite
Lord knows
She likes
To bite

Lady shark lying on the pier
They’d sliced her open by the end of the year
An empty heart and a gut-full of bile
But she kept on grinning her dead head smile

Catch her by her silver tail
Ride’s like a roll in chain mail
But if you try to pull her fin
Beware darling, of her grin

She likes
To bite
She likes
To bite
She likes
To bite
Lord knows
She likes
To bite

RSVP

In my hand
A little shell from the sand
In your ears
You'll hear a sea
For all eternity
You hold it too
And I'll find you
A little shell from the sand

No, not falling
But returning
Not a call
But a reply
An echo of the sea
Do you hear me?
And I'll find you
A little shell from the sand

Heart Sized

I shaped my heart for you
But you just ran it through
Your synthisize-fits-all machine

Now I'm paying
'Cos you're saying
It's no longer real

When my heart
Right at the start
Was the deal

Future Change

Bought, sold
A transformation
No room for error
And no explanation
To fill this frame
We all know
Hearts beat the same

A night full of stars
Can't daunt us
And ghosts from the past
No longer haunt us
Because we all know
Hearts beat the same

Your smile a spark to light the way
Your hope a chance for future change

Cities, souls
Bells ringing
Who pays the toll
As we find ways
To change it all
But somehow
Stay the same

A night full of stars
Can't daunt us
And ghosts from the past
No longer haunt us
Because we all know
Hearts beat the same

Your smile a spark to light the way
Your hope a chance for future change

Tales woven for a while
A pattern falls
Sweet as a smile
We listen to the story
As imagination plays
Flights of fancy
Soar away

Bought, sold
A transformation
No room for error
And no explanation
To fill this frame
We all know
Hearts beat the same
