Great Cities 05:06
Under a cold electric sky Over these city streets at night Between the buildings as they move Inside the aching hearts of lovers as they fall It’s moving through me like a ghost & Winding around in my head Until time means nothing at all Inside our aching hearts- lovers as we fall There’s something about the way you move You come in & shatter me There’s something about the way we dance Speaking in sympathy as cities rise & fall * Something coming over me When you slip into the room Great cities rise & then they fall & Time means nothing at all When I’m with you After the last strains fade away To die with the very last rays & I lay my body down to sleep You still find a way to haunt my dreams ‘Cause there’s something about the way you move You come in and shatter me There’s something about the way we dance Speaking in sympathy as cities rise and fall * There’s something coming over me When you slip into the room Great cities rise & then they fall & Time means nothing at all There’s something coming over me When you slip into a room Great cities rise & then they fall & Time means nothing at all When I’m with you When I’m with you Great cities rise and then they fall & Time means nothing at all When I’m with you.

Magic Without Tears (free) 03:48
I'll pull the car down darkened lanes & with a touch we can begin This could be dangerous if anyone should happen by... & the moonlight on your skin Illuminates your beauty And for a moment i can see everything except yr eyes Let's stay up all night Tangle til we're sore Pleasures in the dark Secrets in the morning Words sound so strange Words sound so strange It all seems so unreal, my love Dim the lights and draw the blinds It's 3am, the party's over And we have just begun & soon we’ll curse the dawn & though i may be fortune's fool Tonight i've got you, baby & i would kiss away each tear beneath your London eyes... Let's stay up all night Tangle til we're sore Pleasures in the dark Secrets in the morning Words sound so strange Words sound so strange It all seems so unreal, my love Let's stay up all night Tangle til we're sore Pleasures in the dark Secrets in the morning Words sound so strange Words sound so strange It's magic without tears, my love

Love & desire Shouting into the void New private contracts In old hiding places I look down at your hands So smooth and familiar Love and Desire... Get down on the floor Arousing suspicions, we People around here Plasticine beauty queens We can be passengers Move to the music For I am you & You are me (hug me til you drug me, honey) (kiss me til I’m in a coma) (hug me, honey, snuggly bunny) (Love’s as good as Soma) (-A. Huxley)

Drunk On You 03:20
Take off yr mask before you come back to me The drums are sleazy & you shake it like you know what you want Finish the bottle & I’ll bring you some more Tomorrow’s ugly but tonight we don’t care at all *Throw the furniture into the fire Surprises as more people arrive Tonight I’m feeling no more shame & I’m drunk on you so baby c’mon Take it off before you come back to me I like it shaken & I like it when you know what you want Kill the bottle & I’ll bring you some more The neighbors hate us but tonight we don’t care at all *Throw the furniture into the fire Surprises as more people arrive Tonight i’m feeling no more shame & I’m drunk on you so baby c’mon baby c’mon baby c’mon baby c’mon *Throw the furniture into the fire Surprises as more people arrive Tonight i’m feeling no more pain & I’m drunk on you so baby c’mon

So this is the place The antenna is set Pick up the phone The receiver is dead A silent film & a jazz cigarette Images sneaking in & out of yr head You dance for money, for Xs and Os Under the moon, take a drive up the coast So many pills you're sick in the head Strangers creeping in & out of yr bed "So this is it" the pharmacist said Pick up the phone The receiver is dead Silent movies & jazz cigarettes Images sneaking in & out of yr head You dance for $$ For exes and ohs Under the moon take a drive up the coast So many pills. You're sick in the head Strangers creeping in & out of yr bed We kissed on the bed So THIS is moonlife...

May I suggest that lovers' etiquette be put aside for now I think it best we slip out of here, lose ourselves & leave this ugly crowd Tonight we are, tonight we are both stars We're secret cabaret We're Forget-Me-Nots to lovers in a dirty bed Strangers in a fire The big old silver moon, she fills & overflows & I caught you by the throat 'cause I don't want you to go Lovers’ chains weak hearts require & Lovers all feign their undying desire If your heart shies from those flames You'll wake up all alone May I suggest this lovers' etiquette be put aside for now I think it best we slip out of here To lose ourselves & leave this ugly crowd Tonight we are, tonight we are both stars We're secret cabaret We're Forget-Me-Nots Two lovers in a dirty bed Enemies & The big old silver moon she fills and overflows & I caught you by the throat 'cause I don't want you to go A Lover's chains weak hearts require & Lovers all feign their undying desire My heart shies from those flames & I wake up all alone Strangers In A Fire We're Strangers In A Fire

Diamond Seas 05:41
Fate, it brought you to me Like a silver ship opened to receive To draw me in & capture me & Tell me of yr world- & I believe We broke open the nighttime sky Like two exploding stars & Dreamed the dreams of lovers As we shimmered in the dark Until the dawn, on diamond seas The sun came out & We became another thing Entirely.
