WILD

My mother said to me that I would get in trouble

Our father won't come home cause he is seeing double

Out in the endless green

Your eyes are so misleading
That's when your car pulls up
Its hood is black and gleaming


And in a while you start a smile
The earth is wild you've got no time


Wild in our ways
What we are making

Heartless to say
Go on pretending


Wild in our ways
What we are making
Heartless to say

You go on
Go on pretending


One chance to fall behind the lines that will not let you
Can I believe in how the past is what will catch you


And in a while you start a smile
The earth is wild you've got no time


Wild in our ways
What we are making
Heartless to say

Go on pretending

Wild in our ways

What we are making
Heartless to say
You go on

Go on pretending

Wild in our ways

Go on pretending

THE HOURS


Can I wait the hours
Till you find me

Climb up to the tower
So that you could see


Violence in the flowers
Where they found you
Can I wait the hours

Would it be untrue
Climb up to the tower
So that you could see

All across the hours

Frightened eyes

Looking back at me
Change your mind
Don't care about me

Frightened eyes
Looking back at me
Change your mind

Don't leave without me
Frightened eyes


Made in your reflection
So that you could feel
Mad in your intentions

Fear it isn't real
All the recollections
Spinning in a field

Left in your possession
Till it isn't real
You say it isn't real

Frightened eyes

Looking back at me
Change your mind
Don't care about me
Frightened eyes
Looking back at me

Change your mind
Don't leave without me
Frightened eyes

Deeper than you and me

It's farther than you could see
Is it too much to ask tell me
It's all in a glance you'll see
It's deeper than you and me
It's all in a glance you'll see

It's deeper than you and me
It's all in a glance you'll see
It's farther than we could be
It's deeper than you and me
Frightened eyes


WISHES

The roses on the lawn
Don't know which side you're on
In a daze it will change
Wishes on a wheel
Wishes on a wheel


The voices in the hall
Will carry on their talking
Carry weight you can't take
Wishes on a wheel
Is it even real


The contact that you make
The moment when a memory aches
Who can tell
You do it well
Wishes on a wheel
How's it supposed to feel


One in your life
It happens once and rarely twice
One in your life
It happens once and rarely twice

The roses on the lawn
Won't know which side you're on

On that hill
Forever still
Wishes on a wheel
How's it supposed to feel
Wishes on a wheel
Wishes on a wheel


IRENE

Though you hardly know her
The light's on its way
The hand that rests upon it
Still wanna stay

No way of recognizing
The cat knows the call
Fair child is rising
There's no mystery at all

It's a strange paradise
It's a strange paradise
You'll be waiting
You'll be waiting

It's a strange paradise (x11)
