1. New Day
A new day nearly dawning
He can already taste the boredom
Selling shit and smiling on the spot
And shouting a shifty sheila
A shot of cheap tequila
Is the only shot at anything he’s got
Love is all around
Sedated gagged and bound
Dreams are running down
The window pane
See the twin commitment phobes
Flickering in the fluoro strobes
Dancing off the darkness of the day
And she moves a little closer
And he moves a little closer
And she moves a little further away
Love is all around
Sedated gagged and bound
Dreams are running down
The window pane
The store fronts are opening shutters
The cleaners sweeping gutters
And the plastic bags are tumbling in the breeze
And she’s barely still awake
And the ropes all fray and break
And her bed is floating on the open seas
2. Young and In Love
Well the seeds hit the soil
And the trees put down roots
And the branches break under
The weight of the fruit
And the birds eat away
At the food on the ground
And people are stirring
To a melodious sound
Still blissfully under the velvet veil of slumber
The place where sinners pray they might be allowed to stay
But the sunshine shatters their canopy of sleep
And the birds, they scatter when the cat begins to creep
And it’s all immaculate to me
I am young and in love
Well the moon came up
Shards of opal she cried
Annointing young poets
And turning the tide
And the water rose high
Hitting hard on the land
And washing away all the tracks we laid
In the shifting sands
Let the moonlight embalm the charmer and the charm
Let the food you feed my soul one day swallow me whole
But the sunshine shatters our canopy of dreams
And the people scatter away to their regimes
And it’s all immaculate to me
And my heart is bursting at the seams
Yeah it’s all immaculate to me
I am young and in love
Looking down from above
Through the eyes of a dove
I am young and in love
3. Here I Go Again
I only wanna do it
When I know it’s gonna hurt like hell
Yes, and I only wanna reach out in return
To the echo at the bottom of the well
I wasn’t looking
Where I was headed
And I fell
Fell for someone like you
And here I go again
The second time I kissed her I looked a little deeper
For the future in her pale blue eyes
And did I see a darkness deep as the bottom of a well?
Let’s just say I didn’t say my goodbyes
The echo was calling
And the walls were falling
Falling for someone like you
And here I go again
4. Twin Insomniacs
I was fighting so hard
And you were fighting so hard
Fighting for the right to talk to strangers
We talked all night
I guess we won the fight
And a whole lot more
Than we bargained for
