1. Bloodletting (the vampire song)

     There's a crack in the mirror
     and a bloodstain on the bed-
     there's a crack in the mirror
     and a bloodstain on the bed-
     O you were a vampire and baby
     I'm walking dead
     O you were a vampire and baby
     I'm walking dead

Chorus:

     I got the ways and means
     to New Orleans I'm going
     down by the river
     where it's warm and green
     I'm gonna have a drink, and walk around
     I got a lot to think about oh yeah
     There's a rocking chair by the window
     down the hall
     I hear something in the shadow
     down the hall
     O you where a vampire and now I am
     nothing at all
     O you where a vampire and now I am
     nothing at all

(Chorus)

     They used to dance in the garden in the
     middle of the night
     They used to dance in the garden in the
     middle of the night
     They were naked as the day they were
     born skin all bone-china white
     O you were a vampire
     and I may never see the light

(Chorus)

2. The sky is a poisonous garden

    The stars above shine down below
    the fever you hold on this night

    deathly cold
    I can feel from this side of the door
    I can feel Eleanor
    He said, sun don't rise...
    he said sun don't shine
    he said don't bring tomorrow
    to justify tonight
    The moon is full-the stars are bright
    and the sky is a poisonous garden
    tonight.
    Sip your Tequila.  Give me some time
    to unlearn all I've learned for the
    spring to unwind
    and then came your sweet mouth
    I began to move mine.
    They knew with the dawn-
    they knew with the day
    they knew what they had
    would be young naked prey
    and attacked from all sides
    by a world filled with
    poison and hate
    Eleanor trembles. Eleanor moans.
    Somehow, this body is someone
    she always has known
    she cries tears on his chest
    O so silent and slow-
    She said please don't go. Please don't go-
    and she cried and she died in his arms
    and he cried nevermore
    the moon is full, the stars are bright
    and the sky is a poisonous garden
    tonight.

3. Caroline

I hear you're driving
someone else's car now-
she said you came and
took your stuff away.
All the poetry and the trunk
you kept your life in-
I knew that it would
come to that someday

when I opened up my eyes-
the train had passed the station
and you where trapped inside
and I never wonder where you went
I only wonder why...

Chorus:
        Oh Caroline
        Oh Caroline
        Oh Caroline
        Oh Caroline

I hear you're using someone else's number
she said she saw you in the store today
it don't matter whose address
you're listed under
I only know they'll never make you stay

you where only passing through
but that's all you'll ever do-
there's a dream I have where I sail away
and I'm looking back at you
and I wave goodbye
I wonder why I wonder...

(Chorus)

4. Darkening of the Light

Like a ghost-is the curtain
in the white light of the morning-
dancing in the morning
are you there-are you there?
and a shadow-like a sadness
falling all across the garden
dancing in the garden
are you there, are you there?

Chorus:
        Shine on, friend.  Goodnight
        Why then the darkening of the light

and the leaves at my feet
whisper sounds so familiar
whisper so familiar-
are you there? are you there?

        (Chorus)

where the clouds pull apart
and the moon changes faces
in the quiet secret places
are you there?  are you there?

5. I don't need a hero

You always said I was a liar
but we burn like a house on fire...
no matter what, you know that to be true
and everything you gave to me
changed everything I used to be
much more than anyone I ever knew

Chorus:
        and I don't need a hero
        I don't need a soldier
        I did when I was younger-
        but now that I'm older
        I don't need a father
        I don't wanna be your mother
        it's just that anyone of us is half
        without another one is you

The colors of that piece of time
and still so fresh inside my mind
and it makes the movie
of my like seem pale-
and all the games I have to play
I got to give a lot of me away
but the part with us
will never be for sale

        (Chorus)

The words of love have been confused
the ways of love have been abused-
is this a lottery you win or lose?
I don't know-
It's a endless circle over time
the place inside where I hold and find
your sweet and happy music in my soul

6. Days and Days

The dirty leaves are sailing
on a hot wind ocean
and the summer comes
and the summer goes and always has & will
and something somewhere
that you said goes ricochet
all through my head
and flashing like a neon sign
the time stand still

Chorus:
        Hours of forever, coming all together
        at the crossroads of a minute.
        And you and me were in it
        and I never saw it coming.
        never saw it fade away
        today, today, today....Days and Days

and still the whining of the wheels
sounds closest to the way I fell and
winter comes, and winter goes.
And always has & will
another hour, another day, another year
you pissed away
remember walking in the Rain?
I'm walking there still.

(Chorus)

Like every heart to the beat before
and every wave to kiss a shore
I'm not the first, I'm not the last...
And soon to be your past
but every morning, when the light
comes creeping in around my eyes
another future falls behind
the one I had in mind

7. The Beast

The prey of the beast screamed
bloody murder
the line is so fine between
hoping and hurting
former believers they beg for release
as love looking down on them

Smiles and picks his teeth
trapped in between heaven and hell
he knows all the secrets
and don't want to tell
there's nowhere to run and there's
nowhere to hide
love knows you all too well
He will find you

Love is the ghost haunting your head
love is the killer you thought
was your friend
love is the creature who lives
in the dark
sneaks up, will stick you
and painfully pick you apart

Love is a poet, love sings the songs
pointing his finger you follow along
voices are calling,
the monster wants out of you
paws you and claws you, you try not to fall

Love is the leech, sucking you up
love is a vampire, drunk on your blood
love is the beast that will
tear out your heart
hungrily lick it and
painfully pick it apart
(Repeats)

Love is a ghost, haunting your head
love is the killer you thought
was your friend
Love is the teacher who lives in the dark
sneak up and stick you
and painfully pick you apart

8. Lullabye

When the sky has fallen
like a blanket on your shoulder
and the moon is like a mother
looking over you forever
and the dawn is so familiar
you were meant to be together
like a fog around a mountain-forever

Chorus:
        so softly-so sweetly
        surrounding you completely
        sing you a lullabye-a lullabye to you

when your breathing is the wind
and your crying is the rain
well I know you will remember
because the music is forever
the living of a lover-
and the loving of another
like a sister to a brother
like a father to a mother

        (Chorus)

9. Joey

Joey, baby - don't get crazy
Detours, fences...I get defensive
I know you've heard it all before
So I don't say it anymore
I just stand by and let you Fight your secret war
And though I used to wonder why
I used to cry till I was dry
Still sometimes I get a strange pain inside
Oh, Joey, if you're hurting so am I
Joey, honey - I got some money
All is forgiven. Listen, listen
But if I seem to be confused
I didn't mean to be with you.
And when you said I scared you
Well I guess you scared me too
But we got lucky once before
And I don't want to close the door
And if you're somewhere out there
Passed out on the floor
Oh Joey, I'm not angry anymore
And if I seem to be confused
I didn't mean to be with you.
And when you said I scared you
Well I guess you scared me too
But if it's love you're looking for
Then I can give a little more
And if you're somewhere drunk and
Passed out on the floor
Oh Joey, I'm not angry anymore
Angry anymore, angry anymore

10. Tomorrow, Wendy

It is complete now - Two ends of time
Are neatly tied
A one-way street, She's walking to the
End of the line
And there she meets the Faces she sees in
Her heart and mind

They say -Goodbye- Tomorrow Wendy's
Going to die
Underneath the chilly Grey November sky
We can make believe
That Kennedy is still alive
We're shooting for The moon and smiling
Jackie's driving by

They say -Good try-
Tomorrow Wendy's Going to die
I told the priest - Don't count on
Any second coming.
God got his ass kicked The first time he
Came down here slumming
He had the balls to come, The gall to die
And then Forgive us -
No, I don't wonder why
I wonder what he thought
It would get us - Hey he, good try -
Tomorrow Wendy's Going to die

But God says jump, so I set the time
'cause if he ever saw it
it was through these eyes of mine and
if He ever suffered
it was me who did His crying...
Hey, hey, good bye...
