Siren

I've got a ruby red desire
Like a virus like my last hope

I've got a ruby red desire
I've got to hear the red bird sing
I've got to rip this cord
And rinse this lazy blood
Clear a path and walk away

I've been waiting for the sky to fall
I've been worried I could lose it all
I've been waiting for the safety net
Tell myself that I'm not ready yet

And every memory's a dream
And each uncertainty reminds me why
I saw a kid outside playing by a moongate
Making paper things that fly

I've been waiting for the sky to fall
I've been worried I could lose it all
I've been waiting for the safety net
Tell myself that [m not ready yet

I want to live ...

I've been waiting for the sky to fall
I've been worried I could lose it all
I've been waiting for the safety net
Tell myself that I'm not ready yet

I want to live ...

Lately i've been sinking down
Thinking i'm the only one
Drifting in and out of blue
But destiny's a state of mind
And today i'm doing fine
Rolling throught the afternoon with you

And it's a widescreen world around me
And i'm lying on the backseat of my mind
And it's a widescreen, got you beside me
We're just riding on the backseat feeling fine

I will be your misfit queen
I'll take you where the grass is green
Past the littered sidewalk to the sun
I hear the traffic move outside
Yeah, but if i close my eyes
I can make it sound like waves rolling on

And it's a widescreen world around me
And i'm lying on the backseat of my mind
And it's a widescreen, got you beside me
We're just riding on the backseat feeling fine

And if we lie still, can you feel the room?
Can you feel the city, can you feel it move?
Can you tell your body, your body from mine?
Can you la la la la lie

And if we lie still, can you feel the room?
Can you feel the city, can you feel it move?
Can you tell your body, your body from mine?

I'm on the backseat of my mind
I'm on the backseat of my mind
I'm on the backseat of my mind

And it's a widescreen world around me
And i'm lying on the backseat of my mind
And it's a widescreen, got you beside me
We're just riding on the backseat feeling fine

And it's a widescreen all around me
And i'm lying on the backseat of my mind
And it's a widescreen, got you beside me
We're just riding on the backseat feeling fine

I'm on the backseat of my mind
I'm on the backseat of my mind
I'm on the backseat of my mind...

I've got a memory
A thousand years old
And I know secrets
I've never been told

And I've got jewels
I haven't found
And they'll return me
To the ground

I'm the girl, I'm the girl, I'm the girl
You know me
I'm the girl, I'm the girl, I'm the girl
You know me

And I'm a siren
I'll wreck you on my shores
And I'm godiva
I'll call you back for more

And I'm medusa
And I'm your favourite doll
And I'm a georgia o'keefe
Hanging on your wall

I'm the girl, I'm the girl, I'm the girl
You know me
I'm the girl, I'm the girl, I'm the girl
You know me

I'm Joan of Arc
I'm the girl next door
I'm the mother and the daughter
Of the mother and the daughter before

And I remember being born just sound and light
And sound and light and light
And I remember the first time, skin on skin in the arms
In the arms of the night
Well how many times have we looked up into the starry skies
And how many times have we felt the passion rise

Every ruby-lipped girl baby, old lady, squaw junkie, girl after girl after girl
Every muse, whore, good witch, princess, back arching, year after year after year

I'm the girl, I'm the girl, I'm the girl
You know me
I'm the girl, I'm the girl, I'm the girl
You know me

I'm Joan of Arc
I'm the girl next door
I'm the mother and the daughter
Of the mother and the daughter
The mother and the daughter
Of the mother and the daughter
The mother and the daughter
Of the mother and the daughter
Before.

Your hands were covered in paint
The pillow smothered my cry
You were half charmer half snake
I lived in dreamtime

But I'm alive
I survived you
And the bitter taste
The years I wasted
All the hate is gone
'Cause I'm alive

Some nights I'd sleep in the car
Just to escape you
You drove devotion too far
No-one could save you

But I'm alive
I survived you
And the bitter taste
The years I wasted
All the hate is gone
'Cause I'm alive

I still have visions of you
I still have nights to get through
And when the trust isn't true
I have these visions of you
I have these visions of you

And I'm alive
I survived you
And the bitter taste
The years I wasted
All the hate is gone
'Cause I'm alive
I'm alive

I'm alive
Ride on and fade away
I'm alive
There's nothing more to say
I'm alive
Ride on and fade away
I'm alive
There's nothing more to say
I'm alive
Ride on and fade away
And the bitter taste
The years I wasted
All the hate is gone

Kiss your lashes, hiss you low
I'm driven to you like the driven snow
There's a place for us to lie
For every lover there's a piece of sky

To every life a light that shines
To every heart a beat that's true
Baby you're my yellow summer
Baby you're my winterblue

You know that this was meant to be
Long ago a hundred years from now
Tossing on an open sea
Love so good it's easy to go down

To every life a light that shines
To every heart a beat that's true
Baby you're my yellow summer
Baby you're my winterblue
Baby you're my yellow summer
Baby you're my winterblue

To every life a light that shines
To every heart a beat that's true
Baby you're my yellow summer
Baby you're my winterblue

Love you like a jungle fever
I'll never never never, I'll never leave
Through every vein and every fibre
I'll never never never, I'll never leave

To every life a light that shines
To every heart a beat that's true
Baby you're my yellow summer
Baby you're my winterblue
Baby you're my yellow summer
Baby you're my winterblue
Baby you're my yellow summer
Baby you're my winterblue
Winterblue, winterblue ...
Winterblue, my yellow summer ...

I'm coming, i'm coming home to you
I'm alive I'm a mess
I can't wait to get home to you
To get warm, warm and undressed

There've been changes beyond my dreams
Everybody wants me to sing
There've been changes beyond my grasp
Things I'm sinking in

So keep me, keep me
In your bed all day, all day
Nothing heals me like you do
Nothing heals me like you do

And when somebody knows you well
Well there's no comfort like that
And when somebody needs you
Well there's no drug Iike that

So keep me, keep me
In your bed all day, all day
Nothing heals me like you do
Keep me keep me
In your bed all day, all day
Nothing heals me like you do

And where l'm home, curled in your arms
And I'm safe again
I'll close my eyes and sleep, sleep
To the sound of London Rain

So keep me, keep me
In your bed all day, all day
Nothing heals me like you do
Keep me keep me
In your bed all day, all day
Nothing heals me like you do
Nothing heals me like you do

Nothing falls like London Rain
Nothing heals me like you do

Nothing falls like London Rain
Nothing heals me like you do

Nothing falls like London Rain
Nothing heals me like you do

Morning is almost here - let it wait
I just want to lie here awhile, tempting fate
I don't think I could breathe now with you gone
But it's not weakness it's just something I've begun

Maybe there's a light that's always on
Maybe we're not only human, maybe
Maybe there's a light that's always on
And we're not only human

When you're sleeping your ceramic
You're surrounded by little stars
Every shimmer is a searchlight
Every planet is ours

Change the street change the decade
Still the longing's left inside
But why am I too small to carry you?
Why does twilight make me cry?

Maybe there's a light that's always on
Maybe we're not only human, maybe
Maybe there's a light that's always on
And we're not only human

When all is said and done
When all the weight is gone
When all is said and done
When all the weight is gone
We're not only human

Life is something set to music
I can hear it when I'm sad
There's a chord in every muscle
Every kiss you ever had
There's a power when you're near me
In our heads or in our bones
I know nothing but I'm guessing
When we die we're not alone

Maybe there's a light that's always on
Maybe we're not only human, maybe
Maybe there's a light that's always on
And we're not only human

When all is said and done
When all the weight is gone
When all is said and done
When all the weight is gone
We're not only human
Not only human
Not only human
Not only human
Not only, yeah, human.
No, human, human.
Human.

You're the one I think about time after time
You're the one that comes to me, visions in the night
I want to complicate your feelings
I want to heat you up inside
Yeah yeah yeah, I wanna make you mine

I'll be your sun coming up
I'll be your dog days
I'll be your new morning
Kiss you baby
I'll be the bluebird singing
I'll keep you warm
I'll take you deep in
Take you deep in

Gonna make my bed beside you
In the bluebells of your soul
Gonna slip into your river, babe
Linger in your shoals
And when the stars are bright like fireflies
And the night is black as coal
Yeah yeah yeah, I'm gonna make you mine

I'll be your sun coming up
I'll be your dog days
I'll be your sweet honey
I kiss you baby
I'll be the bluebird singing
I'll keep you warm
I'll take you deep in
Take you deep in

On another side of time
Before the sea runs dry
Yeah yeah yeah
On another side of time
Where the love runs high
I'm gonna make you mine
Gonna make you mine X4
Gonna make you mine, yeah

I'll be your sun coming up
I'll be your dog days
I'll be your new morning
Kiss you baby
I'll be the bluebird singing
I'll keep you warm
I'll take you deep in
Take you deep in
Yeah, yeah, yeah

On another side of time
Before the sea runs dry
Yeah yeah yeah
On another side of time
Where the love runs high
I'm gonna make you mine
Gonna make you mine
Gonna make you mine
I'm gonna make you mine

On another side of time
Before the sea runs dry
Yeah yeah yeah
On another side of time
Where the love runs high
I'm gonna make you mine
Gonna make you mine
Gonna make you mine
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm gonna make you mine
Gonna make you mine

In the bluebells of your soul
Yeah before the sea runs dry
