Track Name: Turn it on
Turn it on and don't you let it stop.
Turn it on and take me to the top.
Chorus: And you will see when you're here with me.
Her heart break. Her heart break.

Drink it down there's no time left for pride.
Drink it down when space and time collide.

Don't you know she's always watching you?
Do you know the nightmares all come true?
Track Name: THIS MAD DESIRE
1. This mad desire that makes your heart pop.
Leaves you lonely, lifts you up to let you drop.
Don’t be angry; this is not some fearsome plot
To destroy you or control all of your thoughts.

Life is just like this. It’s never what you think.
You’re moving forward but only over the brink.
Don’t be fearful. Don’t you be afraid.
I know it’s hard now but you are the reason I have stayed.

Tears your eyes out. Fighting for the love you sought.

2. Love it lies kicking and screams in the night.
This mad conviction that the world isn’t right.
Soon comes mourning and light tiptoes in.
You will move forward; you will let the light in.

Not sung: Tears your heart out. Fighting against the love you sought.
This mad desire that turns you into something you’re not.

3. Love lurches forward. Your heart drips from your mouth.
Don’t be tearful. This can all work out.
The devil’s in us, the monsters in your soul
It may never leave you but it does not have to take control.

Not sung: Tears your eyes out. Fighting the love you sought.
Tears your heart out. Fighting the love you want.
Let the light in.

Track Name: Celebration
Put on your celebration clothes
Because this time everyone knows
That as far as you and me go / this thing goes
I’m walking out the door

Sing your little desolation song
And feel so bad about what went wrong
I don’t care I’m moving along
I’m walking out the door

I’m alive

Give me love that isn’t useless
Show me that your lie can prove this
Lift my love I cannot do this
I’m walking out the door

Save your love /cause you don’t mean it
Twist your heart so you can beat it
Touch me love to make me feel it
I’m walking out the door

I’m alive

Bridge: So let’s drink to our health
My love’s for someone else
And you will know, you will know how that felt

And in your flaming youth
You burned your bridges to truth
And you will know, what it’s like to be used

1st verse

I’m alive
Track Name: Queen of your dreams
I’m the queen of your dreams. I’m what you seem not to be. You can’t know what you mean to me.
I’m the queen of your dreams. I’m blonde hair and kitchen feet. I will make you complete.

We’re nocturnal royalty! It’s how it was meant to be. Come rule the night with me..

Let’s usher in a new romance, an underworld astral dance. Strip the light away from me.
Make me into what I fear when you hold me near. I’ll drip like starlight (from the sky onto your shoulders and down around your legs).

We’re nocturnal royalty! It’s how love was meant to be. Come rule the night with me..

We’re like graceless birds fumbling with the weight of our wings and speaking senseless things (like time is forever and love is always).

(be my knightmare in shining armour)

Track Name: Don't give up on me
(June 9, 2000)

1. Don’t give up on me.
We’ll pull through you’ll see.
If you believe in me.
If you believe relentlessly.

Believe in me against all odds
and before any other gods.
I will lead you through, you’ll see.
Don’t give up on me.


2. Don’t think that I don’t hear
the things I don’t want to hear.
Don’t think that I don’t fear
the things I tell you not to fear.

My skin will drip and my bones will ache.
I will live through futures I can’t fake.
But I don’t want you to mistake.
I have a handle on our fate.

3. Don’t think that I don’t see
the way that you look at me.
Our love will last long you’ll see
so don’t give up on me.

Don’t give up on me.
We’ll pull through you’ll see.
If you believe in me.
If you believe in me.

Track Name: Future's crashing (all your parties)
1. there is nothing to fear now
that the future’s coming
crashing all your parties.
maybe you will find a new love
pulsing in the wreckage
i will shake with glee.

the future’s crashing all around me.
the future’s crashing all your parties.

2. it’s here in the gin and vermouth.
sex, love, the nature of truth.
it’s all here for you.
it takes time to get it right.
we try with all our might.
i am your dream come true.

3. i give in to your suggestion
to embrace this indiscretion.
who cares what anyone thinks?
we steal what is most our own.
a castle made of flesh and bone.
courage and lust that’s on the brink.
