Amy's Eyes

Standing by the open gate, Amy had to hesitate
as she thought to close the door, secret lovers on the floor
someday we can hold her hand and she knows we'll understand, but until the day she dies, we'll fall into
Amy's eyes.
I had my time with the girl of mystery,
she had two hearts and put one inside me,
in the cool grass, she walked like a tambourine,
she knows your face and all of your pedigrees.
Deep beneath the covers I can see the future in my palms,
share with me your costume powers before the night is gone
anyway I thought you'd like to know
your heart is in a red hotel in rome
and your eyes are in my brain, and it feels so very strange
If i had a dime for all of her histories,
throw three dollars at your anatomy
she let somebody into her little wing,
could there ever be a better remedy ??
Deep beneath the covers I can see the future in my palms,
share with me your costume powers before the night is gone
anyway I thought I'd like to say
your heart is in a sandy beach in maine
and your eyes are in my brain, and it feels so very strange
If I could love someone, I would be on my way,
if I could speak in tongues, it wouldn't feel the same,
if I could love myself, I would be on my way,
if I could speak in songs, wouldn't this life be so mundane?
Standing by the open gate, Amy couldn't care to wait
as she went to close the door, lovers sighing on the floor
someday we can hold her hand and she knows we'll understand, but until the day she dies, we'll fall into
Amy's eyes!

Casino Honey

Red casino honey, I am all yours
I am woken dead but life your hands restored,
I am spinning into fountains full of light,
I was choking with two candles in my eyes.
With the queen's shadows coming down on me,
To the lobby slot machines, I will follow you.
If you count your cards like lovers, in this house of bloom,
Through electric pinball tunnels, I will follow you.
Walk into the scene of casa nova magazines,
the lights are shining dim, the curtains call of the undead,
I think I'll bide my time in this night of diamond shine,
electric girl, come to me with velvet pearls.
When you let the cigarette mist cloud over your eyes,
and the sounds of elevators tremble through your sighs,
then inside a golden burning palace in the ground,
open up your wardrobe heart, there's nothing to be found.

Something Eels

I'm in the water with a six foot eel, something just don't seem right.
In the water with a six foot eel, something sinking in my eyes.
I'm swimming in the circus water, a dead town floating in my eyes.
I'm swimming in the circus water, something just don't seem right.
In the water with a six foot eel, it's my war but I've lost the fight,
in the water with a six foot eel, and I'm coming up tonight and
oh I, I feel like something else,
oh I, I feel like something else.

Ferris Wheel

Me and my good friend been forest hopping through the night,
city slipping freaks with handle-bar back city bikes,
and I can't stop 'til I'm all alone -- so call me on your secret telephone.
Passing through the tv stations in the borderland,
came across a clearing with dirty pockets in our hands,
and I can't stop 'til I'm all alone -- so call me on your secret telephone.
The witching hour of suburban nightlights fade away,
and in our sleep tonight the clouds will cast a dimmer grey,
and the sky is just an empty ceiling,
circus heads go 'round and reeling,
hold me as I lose my feelings and you and me, we'll
share our bones sometime.
And I had a dream about a girl who cut her hair,
in sepia photographs I just had to stop and state.
In the mist of the afternoon, the barber's girl fell into a swoon.
The circus men couldn't see... that I would lay into golden streams with you.
When we die, we come above,
you said you wanted to be loved,
well I will never be the same in the morning after, back to my old home,
where the sky is just an empty ceiling,
circus heads go 'round and reeling,
hold me as I lose my feelings and you and me, we'll
share our bones sometime,
sky is just an empty ceiling,
circus heads go 'round and reeling,
hold my insides out from falling and you and me, we'll
share our bones sometime.
