1. MONUMENT

(Instrumental)


2. HELL FREEZES OVER I

Look closer
Look deeper
You've fallen so fast
In the starlit cold morning
Where the dreams never last

You have walked here and you've wondered
Seen the shadows in the fields
You've been stuck in this moment
Ever since you touched deep
Come see

And hear now
No relic
Is a piece of a saint

So go on
On your way now
But know you're not alone
Dark sails cruise through these waters
In the fog of memory

So go on
On your way now
But know you're not alone
Dark sails cruise through these waters
In the fog of memory


3. HELL FREEZES OVER II

Twilight on the doorway
Snapshots from the fifties
Chilly wind in dark streets
Where the neon lights and stars meet
Behold the golden turtle dreams
Stain the sheets where mothers weep
Tears upon the dry bone

They wait for you, they wait for me
In the room where silence lingers
By the fire of Mesolithic night
By the trail where the animals dragged him
There's nothing she doesn't see

She's keeping count of moments
You can breathe and still not live
She really needs to need it
That is how you feed it
I sometimes hear the choir of screams
In other worlds where mothers grieve
In whispered sacred ghosts of sleep

They wait for me, they wait for you
By the ancient well of blue magic
Me drinking from my broken cup
Between these heavy old buildings
There's nothing she doesn't see

They wait for you
They wait for me
Sooner or later one of us goes
I really tried to get close to you
Where the neon and stars meet


4. BLACK LILY

Can you hear me
And know your own?
Swim to me
This island
All the endings
That broke on rocks were
Lost to tides again

Hear the bells
In deep hollow dungeons
In deep green seas
The pressure's from within

Struck down
In the middle
Of a little life
Star spangled
By the wayside
As the trains roll by

Phantom pains and morphine
Isn't that enough?
Leaving cannot heal you
First try it with a kiss

All your troubles
Small battles
So tired
On your icecap
Black lily
I just want to make you
Make you laugh again

In that deep hollow dungeon
A glorious sleepwalk
A pilgrim of valium
It's cold on this cloud

Struck down
In the middle
Of a little life
Star spangled
By the wayside
As the trains roll by

Mercy, what can you do?
Try to be a saint?
Leaving cannot heal you
First try it with a kiss


5. GOLD STAR

You don't have to praise me
But do it in creole
Not all smiles are friendly
Not all are deserved
So I've been hiding
As a part of this neighbourhood
And I'll be invisible
Among the unseen

I'm the son of an honest man
I've learned to keep the balance right
Moonbeams weigh your wishes
Daydream hits and misses
The nurses all told me that they smelled the mourning
The silence of the streets
There's no way to get me out of this

I'm the son of an honest man
His eyes are open in the night
Moonbeams weigh your wishes
Daydreams of ports and princes
The cat has a bone you can use for your magic
In Egypt they were gods
And I've got pins in all my voodoo dolls
When the promised gold star
And the ligne in your palm is a snake
They'll catch me


6. HELL FREEZES OVER III

Feel the heat, burn your back
Your heart is vast, but no black jack
You look so tiny in the cab
Take me back
Take me back

But you're gonna take the alleyways
You're gonna take the sins of the fathers
Take them away
Take them away

Well they told you this would be the end
To keep her panicked won't get her back again
But her heart leaks
Take me back
Take me back

Going to take the alleyways
Going to take this sense of the fathers
Take them away
Take them away


7. MARY CELESTE

This today is such and endless doorway to other days
On a broken chain, time is longer to the waiting
In the end it means nothing to you at all
Yet back home my only true love was waiting
My true love

When they found us on the water
They didn't see our faces
Or hear the voices in the warmth
But we can't get outside
So we try a little harder
Of mirage on the sea
Our desire was too much
So we are still here

If the bird likes its cage so very much
And the bluebird wears the sky on his back
Then why is the cage so tightly shut?
Your kingdom means so little to us
As we climb into our beds again
Now these moments melt into our heads

You can say anything
You see
It sparkles when you speak to me

When they found us on the water
They didn't see our faces
I hear the voices in the warmth
But we can't get outside
So we try a little harder
Of mirage on the sea
Our desire was too much
So we are still here


8. WHAT DID I DO?

It's too late to explain it now you see
Forced to submit to your policies
Slipping focus fade away
Sure you'll understand someday

What have you done?
What have you done?

It's too late for a message that's been sent
It's too late for the needle that knows how to mend

What did I do?
What did I do?

What did I do?
What did I do?


9. GOLEM

Golem in the night
Secrecy
You see shadows where I see me
I'll come home to no one now
The house will not be mine somehow
Taps at the stadium for me

Trust me
Hold the foolish torch
And kneel upon the coldest stairs
Wires and dust

There's a rose that grows in no-man's land
And it's wonderful
Though it's sprained with tears it stand
In my garden

It's the one red rose I know
It's the master's hand
From the blackest dirt it grows
Rose of no man's land
Rose of no man's land
You see its shadow


10. THE DUMB

Loves their only son
Loves him dazed and dumb
Always calls them back
The art of the attack
Everyday it took
To do the best they could
Progress always slow
Imperfect passenger
It never goes away
And every time you don't
You live the life you broke
How will I
Feed the lie
As the ache is always there
Well I won't
Be the shadow of limitations
Make it real make it love
Make it count letting go
And I'm dreaming
Head of gold, let it grow
How you live and try
You lay where the moon sets in grey and try
But the dumb never tells you why

Wonder if they'll play
The pitcher's wearing shades
Dreams are growing old
Stories left untold
Say goodbye
Truth and lies
River flows and burns within our veins
Fires and trials, a lucky throw
Fell to pieces
Hands of gold are always cold
All that you said you dared
You tried, oh there's pity on their lips
You know, you tried he's flawed left behind
When the moon sets in grey you cry
But the sun never tells you why


11. HELL FREEZES OVER IV

You have walked here and you wondered
Seen the shadows and the fields
You've been stuck here in this moment
Ever since you touched the deep

Come see
And hear now
No relic
Is a piece of a saint
So go on
On your way now
But know you're not alone

Look closer, look deeper
You've fallen so fast
In the starlit cold morning
Where the dreams never last
Never last
Never last
