Sleeping With Ghosts

Everything's forgotten
Everything's so rotten
Why don't you release me?
Why don't you just tease me?

I don't think I need you anymore
I don't think I need another whore
I just feel like you should wait
Time will tell before it's too late
When all is said and done you
Just ain't no fun to be with

You're my bulletproof cupid
You're my little stupid
You're my fluctuated
You're my inspector gadget
You're my new toy to play with
You're my toy boy to be with
You're my bulletproof cupid
Just a little too stupid

Everything is taken
Everything's awakened
Why don't you reject me?
Why don't you just infect me?

I don't think I want this anymore
I don't think I want another whore
I just feel like we should wait
Time unfolds then it's too late
When all is said and done you
Can't be the one to run with

You're my bulletproof cupid
You're my little stupid
You're my incarcerated
You're my fortune faded
You're my new tool to play with
You're my new fool to be with
You're my bulletproof cupid
Still that little

Always stays the same
Nothing ever changes
English summer rain
Seems to last for ages

Always stays the same
Nothing ever changes
English summer rain
Seems to last for ages

I'm in the basement
You're in the sky
I'm in the basement baby
Drop on by

I'm in the basement
You're in the sky
I'm in the basement baby
Drop on by

Always stays the same
Nothing ever changes
English summer rain
Seems to last for ages

Always stays the same
Nothing ever changes
English summer rain
Seems to last for ages

I'm in the basement
You're in the sky
I'm in the basement baby
Drop on by

I'm in the basement
You're in the sky
I'm in the basement baby
Drop on by

I hold an image of the ashtray girl
Of cigarette burns on my chest
I wrote a poem that described her world
And put our friendship to the test
And late at night whilst on all fours
She used to watch me kiss the floor
What's wrong with this picture?
What's wrong with this picture?

Farewell the ashtray girl
Forbidden snowflake
Beware this troubled world
Watch out for earthquakes
Goodbye to open sores
To broken semaphore
You know we miss her
We miss her picture

Sometimes it's faded
(We) Disintegrated
For fear of growing old
Sometimes it's faded
(We) Assassinate it
For fear of growing old

Farewell the ashtray girl
Angelic fruitcake
Beware this troubled world
Control your intake
Goodbye to open sores
Goodbye and furthermore
You know we miss her
We miss her picture

Sometimes it's faded
(We) Disintegrated
For fear of growing old
Sometimes it's faded
(We) Assassinate it
For fear of growing old

Hang on
Though we try
It's gone

Hang on
Though we try
It's gone

Sometimes it's faded
(we) Disintegrated
For fear of growing old
Sometimes it's faded
(We) Assassinate it
For fear of growing old

I can't stop growing old
I can't stop growing old
I can't stop growing old
I can't stop growing old

I can't stop growing old

The sea's evaporating
Though it comes as no surprise
These clouds we're seeing
They're explosions in the sky
It seems it's written
But we can't read between the line

Hush
It's okay
Dry your eye

Dry your eye
Soulmate dry your eye
Dry your eye
Soulmate dry your eye
'Cause Soulmates never die

This one world vision
Turns us into compromise
What good's religion
When it's each other we despise?
Damn the government
Damn their killing
Damn their lies

Hush
It's okay
Dry your eyes

Dry your eyes
Soulmate dry your eyes
Dry your eyes
Soulmate dry your eyes
Soulmates never die
Soulmates never die
Never die
Soulmates never die
Never die

Soulmates never die

Soulmates never die

Soulmates never die

Soulmates never die

Since we're feeling so anaesthetised,
In our comfort zone
Reminds me of the second time,
that I followed you home.

We're running out of alibis,
on the second of May.
Reminds me of the summertime,
on this winter's day.

See you at the bitter end.
See you at the bitter end.

Every step we take that's synchronised,
every broken bone.
Reminds me of the second time,
that I followed you home.

You showered me with lullabies,
As you're walking away.
Reminds me that it's killing time,
on this fateful day.

See you at the bitter end.
See you at the bitter end.
See you at the bitter end.
See you at the bitter end.

From the time we intercepted,
Feels alot like suicide.
Slow and sad, come in silence.
Arise a bitter mine,
*See you at the bitter end*

I love to see you run around,
And I can see you now.
Running to me,
Arms wide out.
*See you at the bitter end*

Come on reach inside,
Grab the gentleness inside.
Heard a cry,
Six months time.
In six months time,
Prepare the end.
*See you at the bitter end*

Get real
It seems
When you're here I miss you something rotten
The stinks
Are here
It's guaranteed all's forgotten

Tell me
Tell me
It's clear
Perhaps you have forgotten
Don't fear
Don't fear
You're clean
All is forgotten

face down
face down
face down
I miss you something rotten
face down
Face down
This crown
Is broken rotten

Tell me
Tell me
No it's not
It's all forgotten
Tell me
Tell me
face down
I miss you something rotten

Tell me
Tell me
It stinks
It stinks it's something rotten
Don't fear
Don't fear
You're clean
All is forgotten

And you're left behind
And you're left behind
And you're left behind
And you're left behind
And you're left behind
And you're left behind
And you're left behind
And you're left behind

Beauty lies inside the eye
Of another youthful dream
That doesn't sell its soul for self-esteem
That's not plasticine

Beauty lies inside desire
And every wayward heart redeemed
That doesn't sell its soul for self-esteem
That's not plasticine

Don't forget to be the way you are
Don't forget to be the way you are
Don't forget to be the way you are
Don't forget to be the way you are

The only thing you can rely on
Is that you can't rely on anything
Don't go and sell your soul for self-esteem
Don't be plasticine

Don't forget to be the way you are
Don't forget to be the way you are
Don't forget to be the way you are
Don't forget to be the way you are

Don't forget to be the way you are
Don't forget to be the way you are
Don't forget to be the way you are
Don't forget to be the way you are

The way you are
The way you are
The way you are
The way you are

I'll be your water
Bathing you clean
With liquid peace
I'll be your ether
You'll breathe me in
You won't release
Well I've seen you suffer
I've seen you cry
A whole night through
So I'll be your water
Bathing you clean
With liquid blue

I'll be your father
I'll be your mother
I'll be your lover
I'll be yours

I'll be your father
I'll be your mother
I'll be your lover
I'll be yours

I'll be your liquor
Bathing your soul
In juice that's pure
I'll be your anchor
You'll never leave
These shores that cure
Well I've seen you suffer
I've seen you cry
For days and days
So I'll be your liquor
Demons will drown
And float away

I'll be your father
I'll be your mother
I'll be your lover
I'll be yours

I'll be your father
I'll be your mother
I'll be your lover
I'll be yours

I'll be your father
I'll be your mother
I'll be your lover
I'll be yours

I'll be your father
I'll be your mother
I'll be your lover
I'll be yours

Yours
Yours
Yours
Yours
Yours
Yours
Yours
Yours

Walk away to save your face
You never were a genius
Walk away to save your face
You let it come between us
Walk away to save your face
You never were a genius
Walk away to save your face
You never were you never were

Yes it's just the second night
But I would break backsides for you
Yes I know you're the jealous type
Cause I'm cursed with second sight so

Walk away to save your face
You never were an actor
Walk away to save your face
Here comes the morning after
Walk away to save your face
You never were an actor
Walk away to save your face
You never were you never were

Yes it's just the second night
But I would break backsides for you
Yes I know you're the jealous type
Cause I'm cursed with second sight so

Cause I'm cursed with second sight so
Cause I'm cursed with second sight so

Third verse
Same as the first

Walk away to save your face
You never were a genius
Walk away to save your face
You let it come between us
Walk away to save your face
You never were a genius
Walk away to save your face
You never were you never were

Yes it's just the second night
But I would break backsides for you
Yes I know you're the jealous type
Cause I'm cursed with second sight so

Walk away
Walk away
Walk away
Walk away

Walk away
You never were
Walk away
You never were
Walk away
You never were
Walk away
You never

It's the disease of the age
It's the disease that we crave
Alone at the end of the rave
We catch the last bus home
Corporate America wakes
Coffee republic and cakes
We open the latch on the gate
Of the hole that we call our home

Protect me from what I want
Protect me from what I want
Protect me from what I want
Protect me protect me

Maybe we're victims of fate
Remember when we'd celebrate
We'd drink and get high until late
And now we're all alone
Wedding bells ain't gonna chime
With both of us guilty of crime
And both of us sentenced to time
And now we're all alone

Protect me from what I want
Protect me from what I want
Protect me from what I want
Protect me protect me

Protect me from what I want
Protect me from what I want
Protect me from what I want
Protect me protect me

Protect me from what I want
Protect me from what I want
Protect me from what I want
Protect me protect me

Protect me from what I want
Protect me from what I want
Protect me from what I want
Protect me protect me

Protect me from what I want
Protect me from what I want
Protect me protect me

Come on Balthazar
I refuse to let you die
Come on fallen star
I refuse to let you die

Cause it's wrong
And I've been waiting far too long
And it's wrong
I've been waiting far too long
For you to be
Be
Be
Be

Be mine
For you to be mine
Be mine
For you to be mine

And it's wrong
I've been waiting far too long
It's wrong
I've been waiting far too long
For you to be
Be
Be
Be

All the centrefolds
That you can't afford
They've long since waved their last goodbyes
All the centrefolds
That you can't afford
You've long since faded from their eyes

So be
Be mine
So be
Be mine
