Blonde Redhead Album

Twenty three seconds
All things we love will die
Twenty three magic
If you can change your life

Your tainted heart, your tainted heart
My tainted love, my tainted love
Repent now
How many times
As long as you live
How many times
The world will go around

He was a friend of mine
He was a son of god
He was a son of a gun
He was a son of god

He was a friend of mine
He was a son of god
He was a son of a gun
He was a son of god

Twenty three seconds
In you I see a chance
Twenty three magic
If you change the name of love

Your crazy heart
My crazy love
Repent now
How many times
As long as you wish
How many times
The world will go around
How many times
As long as you want
How many times
The world will go around

He was a friend of mine
He was a son of a gun
He was a son of god
He was a son of god

He was a friend of mine
He was a son of a gun
He was a son of god
He was a son of god

He was a friend of mine
He was a son of a gun
He was a son of god
He was a son of god

Twenty three

Looking everywhere
I see nothing but people
Looking everywhere
But I see nothing but people
Where have they gone
I always thought I could never leave them
They are calling me
But they don't know I can't stay all night long

Hey, Dr Strangeluv
So sad, isn't it true
(You left without goodbye)

Hey, Dr Strangeluv
So sad, isn't it true
(You left without goodbye)

Looking everywhere
Keep my fire going
Cold look in their eyes
Cold air in their hearts
They are calling me
I always thought I could save them all
They are calling me
They don't know I can't stay all night long

Hey, Dr Strangeluv
So sad, isn't it true
(You left without goodbye)

Hey, Dr Strangeluv
So sad, isn't it true
(You left without goodbye)

Looking everywhere
Keep my fire going

Tears you see on my face
You do have something to do with
Fear starts creeping up
When you have so much to lose
Your love waits you while you're cheating
Lightning strikes you when you're moving

The light you see in my eyes
You do have something to do with
Play the game namely love
Play it like you have nothing to lose
Horse loves you when you move with him
People hate you when you're changing

Don't let the dress trick you
I love you less now that I know you
I won't count the scars again
I love you less now that I know you

The glow you see on my face
You do have something to do with
Fear starts creeping up
When you have so much to lose
Your love wait you while you're cheating
Lighting strikes you when you're moving

Don't let me wonder away
I love you less now that I know you
Don't let the dress trick you
I love you less now that I know you

I won't count the scars again
Because I love you

Oh it's not, it's not what you give
But it's what you kept
Oh it's not, it's not who you kill
But it's who you left

I am, I am running in my head
I am, I am lying on my left
I am, I am growing in my bed
I am, I am

Oh it's not, it's not how you speak
But it's what you said
Oh it's not, it's not what you seek
But it's what you have

I am, I am running in my head
I am, I am lying on my left
I am, I am growing in my bed
I am, I am

Oh it's not, it's not what it seems
It's not what it seems
It's not, it's not what you leave
But it's what you hold

I am, I am running in my head
I am, I am lying on my left
I am, I am growing in my bed
I am, I am

Tell me where you've seen my life
I look in your eyes and can only see my own complexion
Tell me where you've been my life
I've been watching you spring by summer fall when some one called

Tell me where you've seen my life
You've been biting my hands and knocking me down down to the ground
Tell me where you've been my life
I see only what you see, face who you face, be who you want to be

Clashing lies and clashing thighs
Clashing chasing changing minds
Tell me what you've seen tell me where you've gone
Tell me where you've been tell me what you saw

Clashing lies and clashing thighs
Clashing chasing changing minds
Tell me what you've seen tell me where you've gone
Tell me where you've been tell me what you saw

Tell me where you've been my life
I see only what you see, face who you face, be who you want to be

Silently, I wish to sail into your port, I am your sailor
Quietly, I drop my weight into your sea, I drop my anchor
I sway in your waves, I sing in your sleep
I stay till I'm in your life

I realize now you're not to be blamed my love
You didn't choose your name my love
You never crossed the seven seas
I realize now you're not to be blamed my love
You didn't choose your name my love
You never crossed the seven seas

Oh, sweet creature
I know exactly how you feel
Your clock is ticking, tick tack tick tack
Your heart is beating tum tum tum tum tum

Silently, I wish to sail into your port, I am your sailor
Quietly, I drop my weight into your sea, I drop my anchor

I realize now you're not to be blamed at all
You didn't choose your name my love
You die a little in my arm
I realize now you're not to be blamed at all
You didn't choose your name my love
We never crossed the seven seas
I realize now you die a little in my arm
Before you even taste my love
We never crossed the seven seas
I realize now you re not to be blamed at all
You didn't choose your name my love
You die a little in my arm
I realize now

Father don't you go
Let's just take a walk in the afternoon ... look at me
Mother don't you know
You can only see me through a clouded sphere ... look at me
Walk out on a limb leaning on a cloud that isn't still reveals
Looking down a cliff it isn't fun it's communicating fear

Say what you say, say it like a cat
Say it to my face and say what you know every one says
Say what you say, say it like a cat
Say it to my face and say what you know every one says

Father don't you know
You have made me into a quiet man ... look at me
Mother don't you go
You are a long way away from me ... look at me

I see you as you see me ... look at me
Change your heart cause I am already spoken for
Change your heart cause I am already spoken for

Say what you say, say it like a cat
Say it to my face and say what you know every one says
Say what you say, say it like a cat
Say it to my face and say what you know every one says

Tell me why talk to lie, tell me why tell me why
Oh you were gonna run with me
Tell me why talk to lie, tell me why, tell me why
Oh you were gonna run with me
Show you how, show you how, show you how when to stop
Oh you were gonna run with me

Roland takes the sea, but he goes without me
Roland takes the trip, but he goes without me
Roland makes the move, but he goes without me

Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why you're the one
Oh you were gonna run with me
Walk you through, walk you through, I walk you through my story
Oh you were gonna run with me

Roland takes the sea, but he goes without me
Roland takes the trip but he goes without me
Roland makes the move, but he goes without me

He goes without me
Roland takes the sea but he goes without me
Roland takes the trip but he went without me
Roland, he goes without me
Roland, he goes without me
Roland ...

We've come a long way to where the mountain is high
I take my cedar to where the mountain is high

What I need is a peace and quiet
What we see is an illusion
I have no reason to confuse them
I have no reason to confuse my brothers

They have real shotguns
They were baby killers
But I warned you many times that they will burn down your house

Not today (what can I do)
Not today (to make it better)

What we need is a persuasion
What you give is retaliation
I hope one day we meet again
I hope one day we love one another

They were young soldiers
They were old liars
But I heard the rumor that they will burn down your house

Not today (what can I do)
Not today (to make it better)

They will burn down your house
They will burn down your house

I've lost my key
I've gone too far
Was it enough to make you sick ?
Maybe I live again, but would I lose again my virginity ?
Oh, my virginity

I'm shaped to get in your way
But in the end
We defend our decadence
You never wept like that
Whatever lost I won't forget about you
Oh, forget about you

It's not what I said, it's what you said
It's what you did did that belongs to everyone
It's not what I hate, it's what you hate
Its decadence belongs to everyone

One day I lie next to you and you stroke my impure hair
