Lyrics
Drawn to you
There’s a face that is yours
Sudden and inevitable
Drawn to you
Oh we’ll never know why
No we’ll never know why for sure
There was something in the wintertime
Something in the wintertime
Always go
To the house that is loaded
With tales asking to be told
More than love
Make ourselves vulnerable
In the name of evolution
There was something in the wintertime
Something in the wintertime
Now look
What we’ve done
Shared this life
Our only one
Drawn to you
Cause we cried for our condition
Drawn to you
Still it swept us from under
There was something in the wintertime
Something in the wintertime
Show me the face
Of the one I’ll love
Cause I’ve run out
Of preconceived notions
Show me the face
Of the one I’ll love
Cause I’ve satisfied
All my preconceived notions
Show me the face
Show me the face
Show me the face
That could break my heart next
All of the ones I dreamed
All of the ones I could conceive
Have spent the night with me
So show me the face
Acid broke the spell of a lovelorn season
Acid broke the spell and I can’t believe it
Woke up and to my surprise
The magic gone from your eyes
Who said there was no cure for love was wrong
Cause I found one
Acid broke the spell of a lovelorn season
Acid broke the spell I still can’t believe it
My life I bowed to the muse
Resigned that I always would
The sky went pink and spring rose up like god
Over the spell of love
The sunlight looks so beautiful on your dying face
Gives a sense of urgency to our kiss
Even the flowers on parade
Fear soon their cameos will end
We are friends because we know how much it means
Sharing in the story given the ending
Somewhere someone now writes our names
But this edition’s limited
So when we touch let’s keep in mind
This flesh is rotting all the time
And when we make love be advised
Tomorrow we could both evaporize
If there’s something you desire
Confess it now while we’re alive
And when we make love keep in mind
That there’s a universe inside
This sexy creature
Somewhere someone now writes our names
But this edition’s limited
So when we touch let’s keep in mind
This flesh is rotting all the time
And when we make love be advised
Tomorrow we could both evaporize
If there’s something you desire
Confess it now while we’re alive
And when we make love keep in mind
That there’s a universe inside
This sexy creature
Who’s missing from the picture?
It’s the one I love
Who’s missing from the picture?
It’s the one I love
New year’s eve in the company of strangers
New year’s eve in the company of strangers
Who’s missing from the picnic?
It’s the one I love
Who’s name is never spoken?
It’s the one I love
New year’s eve in the company of strangers
New year’s eve loves the company of strangers
We should meet
We should really meet again
We just need to fuck again
There are no favors to be done
For anyone
This is ridiculous
You’re an idiot
Let’s just get it over with
Soon we’ll both be dead you bitch
What your dreams say is obvious
You cannot spare anyone
So come..
Come….
Come…….
Let’s meet
The light has shone on you tonight
But I’ll go walking through the darkened streets alone
And fall asleep with a smile
Saving my pennies cause the oracle told me so
ooooh –
I’ve learned to trust my head to turn
ooooh –
For the feature presentation
I know your ex from mexico
Taught you something that I have never seen before
But efficiency is not the goal
I’ll trade the magician for the eager clumsy soul
ooooh –
And soon my head is gonna turn
ooooh –
Right into the next dimension
The light has shone on you tonight
But I’ll go walking through the darkened streets alone
And fall asleep with a smile
Saving my pennies cause the oracle told me so
The ship is near and I’m on time
By being alone needing a woman’s touch tonight
The ship is near and I’m on time
By being alone needing a woman’s touch tonight
I’m walking in the streets tonight
Walking aimlessly tonight
The direction to your house
There is a great intelligence
Leading me to climb the stairs
Climb the stairs up to your house
Go!
To the smell that calls to you
Where the animal leads you
Even when you don’t know
Why you ought to go
On the wrong side of the fence
You will live the rest of your days
With the seed planted from my lips
Spread to your every crevice
Where the need grows unbearable
For the rest of your life
You’ll replay-play-play-play-play
You’ll wish so bad that you’d gone
All the way-way-way-way
Here’s the spell I cast on you
On the wrong side of the fence
Where you keep easy company
Longing for what was so intense
An acquired taste you’ll come to crave
To the memory you’ll grow a slave
Laying awake in your bed
You’ll replay-play-play-play-play
Compulsively trying to rewrite
The end-end-end-end
Here’s the spell I cast on you
And you’ll see me on the street
The hand you’ll hold will feel so wrong
But you’ll get used to it
There’ll never be a woman like me
On the wrong side of the fence
You have hereby been sentenced
With the seed planted from my lips
Germinated to each crevice
Where the need grows to festering
And you’ll see me on the street
Just still your heart cause from now on
It’s easy company
There’ll never be a woman like me
You’ll never meet a woman like me
You’ll never meet another woman like me
If I’m quick to offer my love
It’s just cause I don’t believe
Sometimes I get the suspicion
My love is a mockery
But for you I want to be real
And let you in on the deal
Come and tell me the one thing
You don’t want me to know
It’s always the only worthwhile
Topic of discussion
Cause it’s no compliment
To be the perfect lover
To not share your confusion
It’s no compliment
And if we are brave and confess
We’re not in love anymore
We’re united in our fuckedupness
Naked upon the floor
Cause it’s no compliment
To be the perfect lover
To not share your confusion
It’s no compliment
Your eyes
Never got used to life
I love your eyes
They never got used to life
We met
On the periphery
A gang of loners is
The only gang for me
How can it be?
That it only takes a second
For life to scatter all
The thoughts we have collected
I love your eyes
They never cease to be overwhelmed
God bless my socially retarded friends
Who could ever have foreseen
Such a funny looking face
Would be standing over me
Now it ends with your funny face
Who could ever have foreseen
It would end with your funny face
It’s true we will remember
It’s true we will forget
How can it be?
That it only takes a second
For life to scatter all
The thoughts we have collected
I love your eyes
They never cease to be overwhelmed
God bless my socially retarded friends
