1. SERVANTS OF THE AIR

I've been drifting 'cross the heavens
Like a supersonic wraith
And the codes I've been transmitting
Went unnoticed into space

There were times I thought I saw you
Like a beacon from afar
Guess I never really knew you
But I sensed just what you are

And as the light returns to guide us
I feel your presence everywhere
Despite the darkness still inside us
We will still remain
The servants of the air

Guess I'm ready for departure
Although something holds me down
Like an echo from out farther
Where the living still abound

Words like a sudden rapture
From the unconscious sleep
Twisting my dull perception
From years of debauchery
Spheres from the arch galactic
Traces the hidden hand
Touches the once ecstatic
Where longing refused to bend

During those endless nights of silence
Stardust erupted
From the distant thought of you


2. DIVINYLS

If I'll ever see my story change
For something better
I will climb those stairs tonight
If the seas will part and the sun goes down
Through nasty weather
I will bring out what's inside

I know it's empty now
Though there's so much
You have longed for
Won't you show me how to forget

Tell me is it far, now I'm in the dark
Waiting for the light to change
Glancing at the stars
Mending my own heart
It is time to break the chains
Now I will embark
Making my own mark
Waiting for the world to quake

Tell me is it far, now I'm in the dark
Waiting for the light to change

Dreams of sound
My world spinning around
But tonight it'll be over,
Come take my hand


3. IF TONIGHT IS OUR ONLY CHANCE

Whenever
You hold me
The dreams you never told me
I sense them every time we touch

Your sadness
And longing
The place we've never going
You know I need it
Just as much

If tonight is our only chance
We'll take it
If tonight is our only chance
We'll try
If tonight is our only chance
We will make it tonight you and I
If tonight is our only chance

The silence
You're fearing
Those acts of disappearing
Still sheltered from the world outside

So let the silver in
Like darkness entering
We're still together in this place where dreams begin
So let your tears dissolve
Into the evening glow
Tonight's the night and where it ends
No one knows


4. THIS BOY'S LAST SUMMER

I have tried to make myself forget it
Along with the passing of time
But I've been afraid to admit it
What it is I'm trying to find
All those things I've tried for nothing
Every word I said was a lie
Deep inside I knew I was crazy
Waiting for you down the line

Over and over and over again
Through these cheap and dirty thrills
Over and over I've learned only true love kills

If those haunted memories enter my mind
Only you can save me this time
Somewhere deep inside you know you'll always be mine
(It is this boy's, this boy's...)
Cruising down the streets of our youth
On this ocean front avenue
If I show you all of my dreams here tonight
It's this boy's last summer this time

How can you deny you don't see it
How you're always on my mind
Never lost your grip for a minute
All through every sleepless night
If you just want silence you've got it
But you can't extinguish the light

Everybody said I was crazy
Waiting for you down the line

When those haunted memories enter my mind
Only you can save me this time
Somewhere deep inside you know you'll always be mine
(It is this boy's, this boy's...)


5. CURVES

Lights descending on the freeway
I'm a million miles from home
But it's different for me these days
There's just one place I belong

Curves, I tried to say I'm sorry
Curves, I don't know what to do
Curves, I'm here if you still want me
And I'll try to somehow make it up to you

I have tried to be a good man
I have tried to make things right
All those epic things I did plan
They aren't helping us tonight

Curves, I tried to say I'm sorry
Curves, I don't know what to do
Curves, I'm here if you still want me
And I'll try to somehow make it up to you


6. TRANSMISSIONS

Icicles of silence
Piercing through my armor
As she slips away
Fleeting like the breeze

Once I tried to love her
Lost in my delusions
Guess I didn't see
She never needed me

Talk to me
Won't you talk to me
You're the remedy
From my starless visions
Hands on me
With your hands on me
Every nerve in me
Felt subcellular transmissions

She is from an island
Once she wrote a letter
With its name attached
Wishing I was there

And I've watched her sleeping
Trusting me to be there
When she's waking up
Skinless and aware

Talk to me
Won't you talk to me
You're the remedy
From my starless visions
Hands on me
With your hands on me
Every nerve in me
Felt subcellular transmissions

But if she was mine
Archipelagic, divine
Distant, yet removed
From space and time

Talk to me
Won't you talk to me
You're the remedy
From my starless visions
Hands on me
With your hands on me
Every nerve in me
Felt subcellular transmissions


7. AEROMANTIC

Touched down like a bullet from an aeroplane
Hot blood got me back up on my feet again
I know that my love will never be the same
Say that you feel it
Say that you feel it too

Lift off
Should have made me kept my common sense
Tough luck
That I lost it in the turbulence
In flight now I guess I'll leave it all to chance
Say that you need it, say that you need it tooo

And these tiny wings
That help me to stay afloat
Won't protect me from
Emotional overload

There is nothing like aeromantics
Aerial rendezvous
Nothing like aeromantics
Say that you feel it
Say that you feel it too

Midair
Guess we're way beyond terrestrial
This time
We'll leave out the existential
One look
And we'll go for what's essential
Say that you need it
Say that you need it too

And these tiny wings
That help me to stay afloat
Won't protect me from
Emotional overload

There is nothing like aeromantics
Aerial rendezvous
Nothing like aeromantics
Say that you feel it too
There is nothing like aeromantics
Aerial rendezvous
Nothing like aeromantics
Say that you feel it too


8. GOLDEN SWANSDOWN

I never meant for this to happen
Ain't it strange how worlds collide
But I knew that very moment
She was something
I never would survive
Forces of nature
That can't be denied

I had watched her from a distance
Starry eyes and silver hands
Never thought she'd ever notice
Guess I'm blaming magic and circumstance
I'll just surrender
And leave it to chance

Covered in golden swansdown
Gently she stole my heart
Covered in golden swansdown
She knew I was losing right from the start

I never meant for this to happen
But I dreamt from time to time
That I'd find a way to see her
Just so I could leave
All those dreams behind
Duly accepting
She'd never be mine

Covered in golden swansdown
Gently she stole my heart
Covered in golden swansdown
She knew I was losing right from the start

There's a light still radiating out of her
Although she is sweetly unaware
As I know I'll never find the proper words
I'll embrace the silence that we share

Covered in golden swansdown
Gently she stole my heart
Covered in golden swansdown
She knew I was losing right from the start


9. TAURUS

I hear you breathing
Gently coming my way
Although I need it
In the end it will go away

The shadow of Venus
Covers my tracks in the sun
They will fade away
Long before it's all said and done

Like a glowing fence
Shutting out
Feelings raw and new
If I could
I would say it
No one else but you

And we're torn in the rain
What you shared is mine
Would you feel the change
If you saw the signs?
It is hard to take
That you're fading out
I'll do the Taurus thing
Waiting down the line

Spare me your feelings
I want death to move on
In this world we made
We both know when it's said and done

If it's all we get
All I felt
Equals all I knew
No mistaking
If we make it
All I want is you


10. CARMENCITE SEVEN

I was looking for a girl like you
With your guardian eyes
All crystal blue
Thought I had it made this time around

I was waiting for the world to end
With my twisted heart still on the mend
Guess I didn't know where I was bound

You appeared as I was leaving for the other side
Now I've nowhere left to hide
'Cause my heart won't be denied

Carmencita
Will I ever be forgiven
Carmencita
Will you stay with me tonight
Carmencita
Take the chance that we've been given
Carmencita
I don't want to take this flight

Not tonight

Carmencita
With your red dress on
There's no chance in hell I will leave alone
I just want to leave it all behind
Carmencita
With your silver hands
There's a chance for me to make amends
If you could believe me this one time

Seven days to Carmencita
Seven days to lose my mind
Seven days to Carmencita
Seven days, and now I know I'm going blind


11. SISTER MERCURIAL

Sitting outside the temple walls
Right after 2 A.M.
Hoping for the clouds to part
And let the darkness in
High after the ritual
Our bodies craving more
It was all instinctual
En route to evermore

Sister mercurial
You're in me
Ever unchanging in those starry nights of youth
Sister mercurial
Believe me
There will never be another quite like you

I remained terrestrial
You took to the air
I despised the factual
You became aware
And I never will regret
Choosing death when we were young
Somewhere in the stratosphere
You will watch me 'til I'm done


12. DEAD OF WINTER

We're going down
You don't want to face the dawning springtime now
Try to make the most
Of these final hours

Don't look back
We all know that it's too late to turn the tide
Try to shield your eyes
Foreign frequencies of light

Luminous as the horizon
I wanted to be free but she keeps on rising
I can almost feel her poison

Ready to burn
Soon as she turns

And in the dead of winter
We will come alive
Too late to reconsider
The stars are all aligned

We're going down
We're descending, maybe for the last time
Cherish every glimpse
Of the ones you love

Don't look back
I'll remember your illuminated face
Right before the end
It's the only thing I'll see

Luminous as the horizon
I wanted to be free but she keeps on rising
I can almost feel her poison

Ready to burn
Soon as she turns

In the dead of winter

Do you feel the night is calling
Shelter from the rising sun

Down
