Don`t Let Go 02:25
Hey there, how are you? Dad says you're wearing no clothes Scaring the crows / Nobody knows but you Day to relax under a tree / With your happy childhood memories Don't let go Gorgeous fragrance throughout the house Sleep in Sunday morning, quiet as a mouse Blue skies, deep grass of the warm gentle air Breeze blows through your lungs / A flower in yr hair Don't let go
2.
Quantum Leap 02:14
The dead zone is the need to comply The dead zone is the sign of the times It's all been moving and we're losing our lives Someone's saying that they're hoping to die They threw her in the gutter like a pile of shit / Oh why Heart to heart / Mind to mind We are the ones who will travel through time We are / Mind to mind We are the ones who will travel through time We are
3.
Maybe 03:38
Go ahead say what I want you to say / That I wanted you Sun to rain follows everyday / Follows everyday / I expected you to Strike me down Fight this town Guide me around the bend Not this time / Going out of my mind / I guess you wanted me to Shut the blinds / I guess you wanted to die / I guess you wanted me to Strike me down / Fight this town Guide me around the bend 1995 / Stay alive Maybe

The Vampire 02:46
Trying / Tender kisses / Run! / Is my wish for you Trying / Tender drops of blood / Stay awake! / I am thinking of you How far / Does your / Lover go / With you? Crying / Tender growing boy / Stay awake! / Is my prayer for you Crying / Tender clutches / Run! / I am thinking of you How far / Does your / Lover go / With you? All that you left you left for someone All of this hurt that's wilted off All this relief it's the oddest thing Oh my god!
5.
Hot Red 04:10
Make a fist / Like this Whisper a threat / In pirhouettes Spun webs around the edge of my bed With a blade of grass in your mouth Make a bright black wish / To wet my chest with pearls of sweat From the small of an angel’s back There is relief / Beneath / These covers I will open you up with my fingertips And I’ll slide my way inside I will force my tongue between your lips While you suck every single taste bud I can taste you with / So dry Little angel hips / Your skin’s too soft like a bright pink lovers sky With an ear to your breastbone I can hear you cry For your favorite toy and a boy to knit you sweaters Write you letters and break you off There is release / Beneath / These covers I will open you up with my fingertips And I’ll slide my way inside I will force my tongue between your lips While you suck every single taste bud I can taste you with / So dry And it feels stupid / But I’m happy I can feel Gonna fall out my underpants / When I see your face Gonna lie wide open And you can turn me sideways and sing in mists of heavy breathing About all the ways you like me best Gonna fall out my underpants
6.
If I may / If I might / Lay me down weeping If I say / What it's like / I might be dreaming If I knew / What is right / I might have to save me and heal With tears in your long hair / Afraid for this moment These chains hold my wind so I can't breathe Breathe / Breathe / Don’t wake / Don’t wake me If I may / If I might / Wake me up to see me If I do / If I like / You send me out to sea If I lay / Cold as ice / I may have to save me and heal It feels like an omen / You’re raised for this moment These chains from my old life I don’t need Dream / Dream / Don’t wake / Don’t wake me Wish me good / Wish me light / Find me out at sea On our way / Through the night / City lights will guide me If I wail / And if I sigh / Just turn up the TV With tears in your pocket / And raised for this moment These tears from my old life in my tea Dream / Dream / Don’t wake / Don’t wake me
7.
Touch me I'm here with you / Oh I ache and oh I want of you It makes my mind and body burn / Yeah I’m here with you And though I dreamed of you I've been dreaming of the times we never knew And though I dreamed of you In the distance fading from view Touch me I am numb with you / It makes it so beautiful It all starts pouring in my eyes And you know, did you know you’re precious to me Did you know it’s the earth that’s pouring in my eyes It’s pouring in my eyes You're the only thing I’ve ever known but now I feel it's time to go You're the only thing I’ll ever need but now I feel it's time to leave Touch me I’m here with you The more I get, the more I want of you Makes my mind and body burn Every day, any day I can think of you And my body burns like heaven Feel weak when I dream of you Feel weak, don't know what I'm gonna do You're the only thing I’ve ever known but now I feel it's time to go You're the only thing I’ll ever need but now I feel it's time to leave
