The Bronx Album

In my defence
These prison walls
They couldn't hold anything in at all
I see your face
In all the walls
They had me crawling on back to you

Honestly, will you wait for me?
A little word, promise me
One day I'll be free

This kinda place
It brings you down
Everyone's dragging their feet on the ground
Your kinda face
Could save a soul
It keeps me crying on out to you

Honestly, will you wait for me?
A little word, promise me
One day I'll be free

Honestly, will you wait for me?
A little word, promise me
One day I'll be free

I'll be free
I'll be free
I'll be free

I keep on crawling on back to you

Darling, I woke up in your warehouse this morning
Starving, of all the days to fight
I swear I got it rough through the night

I tried to explain
This lifetime you laid down before me
Despite all the letters I send
You still choose to ignore me

Forming a stolen glimpse of love
A brand new rope to tie up your time
Warning, you're impossible to break
I fear every step that we take

I tried to explain
This lifetime you laid down before me
Despite all the letters I send
You still exist to pretend
I have gone off the deep end

Forgive me

Darling, I hope the world's become
My mind and my fingers are numb

I tried to explain
This lifetime you laid down before me
Despite all the letters I send
You still choose to ignore me
I tried to explain
This lifetime you laid down before me
Despite all the help I extend
Despite all the signals I send
You still exist to pretend
I have gone off the deep end

Darling forgive me
Forgive me

Darling forgive me
Darling forgive me
Darling forgive me

By design
Lie composed
Lie despised
Lie disposed
Well if I hide
If I only get enough
Just to do
What I wanted to do

I've been planning this meeting for days
Carefully placing my words
Come back to me little girl

Well if I hold
Well if I ride
If I hold
Through the night
She's underage
If I only get enough
Just to do
What I wanted to do

Like a knife
Just like I talk
Well I could love
Whoever I want

Yeah, if I only get enough
Just to do
What I wanted to do

'Cause I've been planning this meeting for days
Carefully placing my words
Come back to me little girl
I've been planning this meeting for days
Carefully placing my words
Come back to me little girl
'Cause I'm on your side

I heard her call
Shook me right out of my bed
Came to console me
Placing her hand on my head
I felt her sing
Using the wind as its words
Promising only
Promising me to the Earth

Every night I get older
Every night is the same
I could place blame

Death can dance
If they want romance
All I need is some air
The Dead can dance
If they want romance
I can never compare

Well I felt it leave
Sharing the smoke from my breath
She said don't follow me
'Cause you're dancing with Death

Every night I get older
Every night is the same
Every morning I'm eager
I can't wait to place blame
Let me explain

The Dead can dance
If they want romance
All I need is some air
The Dead can dance
If they want romance
I can never compare

I heard her call
Shook me right out of my bed
Came to console me
Placing her hand on my head

Electrify the night
Follow the moon
Islands don't dream
Of cities like you

'Cause you can't stop sleepwalking
Follow the moon
Oh, you can't stop sleepwalking
Your spirits consume

Falling through trees
Safe from the buzz
Islands don't dream
Of cities like us

Oh, you can't stop sleepwalking
Follow the moon
Oh, you can't stop sleepwalking
Our spirits consume

Between lines and snakes and casks and coals
We were never alone
Between fields of fire and miles to go
We will find our way home
We will find our way home
Find our way home

Oh, they can't stop sleepwalking
Follow the moon
Oh, they can't stop sleepwalking
Our spirits consume
Oh, you can't stop sleepwalking
Follow the moon
Follow the moon
Follow the moon
repeat till fade

His body's abused
He'll die with the accused
He's losing his patience with life
If there's a bed
He cannot rest his head
'Cause we take too much of his time

So quit asking Jesus for help
And go out of find it yourself
Please quit asking Jesus for help
Go out and find it yourself

Silver or lead
Holes in your pockets
Or holes in your head
Silver or lead
Now we get no money
'Cause Jesus is dead

How to explain
What the world wants to know
I don't know where I should begin
I sit by his side
As the heir to his throne
Careful not to cast a stone

It's silver or lead
Holes in your pockets
Or holes in your head
Silver or lead
Now we give no money
'Cause Jesus is dead
Now silver or lead
Holes in your pockets
Or holes in your head
Silver or lead
Now we get your money
'Cause Jesus is dead

Live like a slave
With no holidays
How many ways
Did you count the days?

But it feels so good to be gone
From my own kind

What's in a name?
And propped on a grave
What good is a home
When nobody's home?

Yeah, it feels so good to be gone
From my own kind
Yeah, it feels so good to be done
With my own mind

Mindless, carry me home
Mindless, carry me home

And I didn't want anything else
But listen to what we expect

Looking for careful
But looking for honest
Excited and on-time
With a universal mind

I won't live like a slave
And I won't bury my name
I won't tell you my lies
I won't run from my grave

Oh mindless, carry me home
Mindless, carry me home
Mindless, carry me home

'Cause it feels so good to be gone
Yeah, it feels so good to be gone

Lo and behold
The house has been sold
My parents are old
Their bedrooms too cold

Winter came to say goodbye and move on
They were old and grey with one greedy son

Much to my surprise
Nobody has cried
When animals scream
You should put them to sleep

Winter came to say goodbye and move on
They were old and grey but were greedy

They promised to keep
Me in their will
If my mouth stayed shut
Then my body kept still
Lo and behold
The house has been sold
Lo and behold
I did what I was told

Winter came to say goodbye and move on
Winter came to say goodbye and move on
Winter came to say goodbye and move on

They were old and grey
They were old and grey
They were old and grey with one greedy son

A greedy son!

Bits of my guns are covered in blood
This town turned its back on the sun
Now they will see how swift judgement can be
Compared to a life on the run

Holy, the face of God appears to be
Holy, the face of God appeared to me

Another city glazed, carelessly placed
Withered and waiting for trial
And now we will see how swift judgement can be
When compared to a life of denial

Holy, the face of God appears to be
Holy Mother Mary, let them know that
Slowly, hold me in your arms, appease them
Solely, forgive what I've done
I'm your son, please don't send me to Hell

These visions you see
They're not what they seem
Even a god can be wrong
This Virgin of peace
Is down on her knees
Begging for Death to move on

Holy, the face of God appears to be
Holy Mother Mary, let them know that
Slowly, hold me in your arms, appease them
Solely, forgive what I've done
I'm your son, please don't send me to Hell

Please don't send me to Hell, oh no

We rode like ghosts across the Earth
We woke on Spanish clouds of dirt

But if they only knew
The places we'd been to
Into the desert night, I ride
My brother by my side

Mi hermano la pistola
But tomorrow we'll be gone
Mi hermano la pistola
But tomorrow we'll be gone

We left our families for dead
The kids still sleeping in their beds
The sea swearing as it grew
The wind confessing as it blew

But if they only knew
The places we'd been to
Into the desert night, I ride
My brother by my side

Mi hermano la pistola
But tomorrow we'll be gone
Mi hermano la pistola
But tomorrow we'll be gone

Mi hermano la pistola
But tomorrow we'll be gone
Mi hermano la pistola
But tomorrow we'll be gone
Mi hermano la pistola
But tomorrow we'll be gone
Mi hermano la pistola
But tomorrow we'll be gone

But tomorrow we will be gone

Oh, my love
Where have you gone?
Oh, my love
Have you moved on?

You made me weak
You made me pale
You made me nervous
You made me shake

Oh, my love
Where have you gone?
Oh, my love
Have you moved on?

You told me once
How much you could take
You told me twice
How your heart breaks

Oh, my love
Where have you gone?
Oh, my love
Have you moved on?

You made me weak
You made me pale
You made me nervous
You made me shake
You told me once
How much you could take
You told me twice
How your heart breaks

Oh, my love
Where have you gone?
Oh, my love
Have you moved on?
Oh, my love
Where have you gone?
Oh, my love
Have you moved on?
Oh, my love
Where have you gone?
Oh, my love
Have you moved on?
Oh, my love
Where have you gone?
Oh, my love
Have you moved on?
Have you moved on?
