Saves The Day Album

I know I can't come near you
Every time I do
I get the shaking inside and the sun in my eyes
I'll stay away
I'd rather be here
than anywhere with you
Whoo
I've been dancing with your ghost
Toasting note to note
So here's to the passing
of all that could be
between you and me
I'd rather be here
than anywhere with you
Whoo
I know I cannot see you
Even if I wanted to
'Cause your light is the light of ten sunsets
Circled by eyes burned blue and opened wide
I'd rather be here
than anywhere with you
Whoo
I'd rather be here
than anywhere with you

A month ago,
There we were surrendering ourselves
To the local police
Paying them not to tell
While we waited we all
Sang a song of sorrow
Solely to remember
What went wrong
Leonard looked
Like a ghost gave him a foot massage
Molly shook like a fish
Dangling on a line
Walter wore women's clothes
We sang a song of sorrow
Solely to remember
What went wrong
We sang a song of sorrow
Solely to remember
What went wrong
In the darkness
We were all strip-searched
But nothing was found
Suffering from the full cavity search
We fell to our knees to repent
I can't recall right now
What it was that we did
We sang a song of sorrow
Slowly to remember
What went wrong
We sang a song of sorrow
Slowly to remember
What went wrong
In the darkness
We were all strip searched

Life leaks from you fingertips
Onto sparkling pavement
Having heard the news you stumble, stuttering, confused
Helicopters line the sky
Marching men are rolling by
Babies in their baskets blankly stare through space
Hey hey
Ever since I first saw you
Standing in the black frozen night
I've been blind
But I'm driving in the dark towards you
Not stopping till I catch the sunlight
In my eyes
Sirens sing over the streets
Chimpanzees are on TV
Everybody's working waiting for the week to end
Ever since I first saw you
Standing in the black frozen night
I've been blind
But I'm driving in the dark towards you
Not stopping till I catch the sunlight
In my eyes
And nothing's left to hide
Ever since I first saw you
Standing in the black frozen night
I've been blind
I'm running out of time
Ever since I first saw you
Standing in the black frozen night
I've been blind
But I'm driving in the dark towards you
Not stopping till I catch the sunlight
In my eyes
And nothings left to hide

Lets call it off
I've had enough of the games
If you could see into me
All my veins are tangled up,
Tied in knots
My heart beats slowly now,
It's emptying into the streets
Swirling straight away down the drains back to sea
Oh when is the time
When you aren't in my mind
Setting flames, ravaging all my dreams?
When can I finally wake
To the sunlight shining on my cheeks
And the wind sweeping me away
Far from every memory
With your face in the frame?
That'll be the day
When they sky starts burning,
The earth ain't moving.
We all become sane
And we rise in the morning
To kiss the scorching sun before it falls.
Ohhh
When they sky starts burning,
The earth ain't moving.
We all become sane
And we rise in the morning
To kiss the scorching sun before it falls.
When they sky starts burning,
The earth ain't moving.
We all become sane
And we rise in the morning

Bottles breaking on my face are
Only a reminder of your love
I lost a lifetime ago
Was I dreaming when I knew you? I don't know.
So once again I swim in reverie
Without your love
Feels so long ago I can't remember now
Where we began
Smell of burning photographs slides
Slowly to my nostrils I try
Remembering the soft silence of
Summer sweating in the evening
So once again I swim in reverie
Without your love
Feels so long ago I cant remember now
Where we began
So once again I swim in reverie
Without your love
Feels so long ago I cant remember now
Where we began
So once again I swim in reverie
Without your love
Feels so long ago I cant remember now
Where we began
Where we began

I'm all out of time
Watching a swaying tide
Tomorrow has died
Guess no one gets out alive
The moonlight in the morning sun
Sends shivers over my skin
My memories are slowly slipping
And I'm sailing against the wind
Madness ensues
Swimming in ocean blues
The dream-dripping sky
Covers my insides
The moonlight in the morning sun
Sends shivers over my skin
My memories are slowly slipping
And I'm sailing against the wind
The moonlight in the morning sun
Sends shivers over my skin
My memories are slowly slipping

Hello me,
Are you in there?
Making sure you're not dead
Smelled some rotting flesh
I heard you left him alone
Sun's up with open roads
Get down, freak out
The time is right now
Drop your things
And burn your clothes
Why we're here, no one knows
Watch the bombs explode
He sold you a dream
And carved you up like meat
Laid down the law,
Locked your heart behind bars
While you were sleeping he would whisper in your ear
"The monkey will bite
Better eat your poultry, too
There's no use,
Don't try to ask the doctor
What's going on inside your head
Just fall out and get in line
Like all good soldiers do"
You awoke to his game
Running circles in your brain
Can't believe your eyes
What's up? what is down?
He spun you around
What's near? what is far?
God knows what you are
Can you remember when
This began?
The monkey will bite
Better eat your poultry, too
There's no use,
Don't try to ask the doctor
What's going on inside your head,
It's pretend
There's no meaning

I'm never in my waking life
Dreaming is my all the time
Whether it's the weather
Or my mind it's all too much
Calling in the frigid wind,
A whisper is my dearest friend
Leading me along a lily-laden twisting trail
Where we go
Will tomorrow know?
Into the vast and empty alleys we proceed
I'm never in my waking life
Dreaming is my all the time
Whether it's the weather
Or my mind it's all too much
Crawling over cloudy streets
Streaming with a billion feet
Fumbling along into the dark and dismal day
Where we go
Will tomorrow know?
Into the vast and empty alleys we proceed
Forever winding our way
Weary without sleep
Forever winding our way
Weary without sleep
Oh oh oh
I'm never in my waking life
Dreaming is my all the time
Whether it's the weather
Or my mind it's all too much
Calling in the frigid wind
A whisper is my dearest friend

She is a dying dandelion floating on the breeze
Swirling sweetly in the evening
She is the stars glowing gorgeously
She is the sloping clouds
Forever scrolling
Unfolding
She is the sun burned blue and shadows on the moon
She is the morning dew
Dangling on leaves leaking into streams
Forever flowing
Unfolding
No one can say her name
Now she sits and sings something about my dreams
Hours go by before she looks at me
She breaks my heart

Where are you
And where am I?
We've been slipping slowly south
I guess my tongue is tied
To the starry sky tonight
Cause i'm not sure
What's going on
I feel the earth quaking beneath me
It feels like elephants
Trampling my hollow chest
If I could move just one fingernail
I'd scratch your name on the back of my hand
So I would never forget you again
Remember when
Was way back then
And as for now,
I'm just dangling

Now as I lay by your side
Would you tell me why everything has to be lies
Leaving everyone wondering when we'll all wind up dead
To all we are within
Wednesday the third was the night that you rambled
Alone in the frigid white light like a leopard
About to dig in to trembling skin
With wind whipping your shins
Oh, haven't you heard the news?
Nobody came too soon
Surprise! our eyes are opening up to you
Now as I lean to the side
I can see all the thoughts that you're trying to hide
I've arranged for a ferry to France
Where you should relax, don't worry about the pets
They'll be safe at our address
Oh, haven't you heard the news?
Nobody came too soon
Surprise! our eyes are opening up to you
Nobody came too soon
Surprise! our eyes are opening up to you
You'll always be in our eyes are opening up to you
You'll always be in our eyes are opening up to you
You've left everyone wondering when we'll all end up dead
To all we are within
But now as daisies die off
And the wind scurries scarlet leaves like they were dust
We can see somewhere off to the east
A gaggle of geese are singing your goodbye
Hear their sweetest lullaby
Listen up to hear the sky will soon clear

Light beams through
Windows stream into my eyes,
Explodes like red balloons
As it reminds me of you so long ago
Wind blows through a hole in the roof
Brings your perfume like lilies to me
And all I can do is remember you
When was the last time
I held you all through the night?
Feels like a zillion years
And I don't wanna wait more
To find you is to lose you,
What is that for?
Tell me
When was the last time
I held you all through the night?
Never a worry would run through my heart like a knife
Feels like a zillion years
And I don't want to wait more
To find you is to lose you,
What is that for?
One more night and I might never know who you are
Tell me
When was the last time
I held you all through the night
Never a worry would run through my heart like a knife
When was the last time
I held you all through the night
Never a worry would run through my heart like a knife
Tomorrow is much too late
I need you now, be my light
Tomorrow is much to late

Temperatures rise, rising and reeling
From feral files found in the trash can
Confirming all our deepest fears

Oooh television keeps us scared to death
Oooh don't go outside, better stay in bed

Mold in the air might cause a car crash
Somewhere in France
Leading to outbreaks of airborne plagues
Violent earthquakes

Oooh television keeps us scared to death
Oooh don't go outside, better stay in bed

(Ah) Run to your momma's basement
There ain't no air
So you can't hear the TV singing
Soon we'll all be dead
Get up! get up! go on and see the very last sunset

Oooh television keeps us scared to death

The dimly lit walkways and avenues
Beneath bridges lead me through dreamy days
It's into the dark every time
It's no wonder I lost my mind and my memory

But I wouldn't have it any other way
Wander weary all along the empty streets
And I don't mind my broken legs

I walk myself home beneath the stars
Strollin' along the ocean shore
And I wish for tidal waves to carry me out to sea
To an island that's all for me
To fade away

But I wouldn't have it any other way
With no one there to tell me how to be
Ill grow my hair down to my knees

I befriend coconut trees
The breeze breathin' through the island heat

Evaporatin' in the sun
Is my number one priority
But I wouldn't have it any other way
No I wouldn't have it any other way
