Lyrics

1. UNION 7

The stars in your eyes
They are sleepy getting cold
In my devil's delight
They are sleepy getting cold.

I'm a superhero.

(Ah yea I'm a superhero too
Underneath my sweater)
And I won't play that game
(Ah yea you will I got some
Monopoly money)
I'm a superhero
And I don't play that game.

Ah, yea…do it, do it
Mess with my head
Do it.

The stars in your eyes
They are sleepy, getting cold
In my devil's delight
They are sleepy, getting cold.

I'm a superhero

(Ah yea take off that superhero
Outfit and I'll show you what
You're made of honey)
And I don't play that game
(Ah yea, you will so come here).

I'm gonna get on down and unshackle that lover
I can taste it in the microphone
So come here
Let me touch your body
A bottle of whiskey, and then
I'll take you home.

Oh yeah Well
I'll take you for ride all night
You know I will
Do you want me to?
(I want you to)
I'll take you in my own two hands
Before I give you away
(Ah give me away…come on
And do it).

The stars in your eyes
Tare sleepy getting cold
In my devil's devil's delight
They are sleepy getting cold.

My baby steadily bloom
My soul wind
Got to bloom
My baby
Steadily bloom my soul wind
Steadily bloom my mind.

I'll take you for a ride
In my sugar satellite
Do you want me to.

(I want you to oh how I want you to)
I'll take you in my own two hands
Before I give you away
(Ah come on, give me away
Come on and do it)
We can ride along beside ourselves
Tonight don't you know it's true.

(I know it's true)
I'll take you in my own two hands
Before I give you away
Steadily bloom my soul wind.


2. WELCOME TO MY PARTY

It ain't me
You were looking for
You stood upon it
And then you walked away
From the door.

And I thought that bell would ring twice
But now I know for sure
That it ain't me
You were looking for.

Welcome to my party for you
Welcome to my party for you
Welcome…to my party for you.

Cause you hooked by heart
Until it tore
I had to burn the house down
Just to get through the door.

And I thought that bell would ring twice
But now I know for sure
That it ain't me
You were looking for.

Welcome to my party for you
Welcome to my party for you
Welcome to my party for you.

You gotta bleed your own blood
To get on through that fire
You gotta ways to go.

Welcome welcome
‘Cause it ain't me yea
Ooh it ain't me yea
Did you bait the love?
Welcome welcome
‘Cause it ain't me.


3. WOMEN GOT MY MONEY

(Come pay the body, come pay the body
Come and make the body pay).

Me I'm lookin' for an old pickup truck
One that won't leave me
Stranded a lot
Just to have that old point of view
Of you.

Women got my money
Come on leave your island girl.

(Come pay the body come pay the body
Come and pay the body).

Well hold on
Don't go
Our reason has yet to unfold
Let's take on a little time
To loosen my weary mind.

Women got my money
Come on and leave your island girl.

Me I'm lookin' for an old pickup truck
Women got my money.


4. BLUE DIAMONDS

We go out on the world tonight
With our blue diamonds
That were once our fears pressin' down on the town
We go out my love
Holdin' all our bets
Oh my lady resurrect this breath
On this hour of the night
We'll make it love we'll make it love.

[Chorus]
'Cause I found you now
And forever I won't waste this breath
The time be by our side
It's now or never
I won't waste this breath.

Now don't you wait I feel it in my head
Oh my lady you're the woman I search
To roam my heart roam my heart this way.
Heeeey

[Chorus]

I remember a time
A little less tame.
You roam my heart
Ooon this way this way.

We go out on the world tonight
With our blue diamonds
That were once our fears pressin' down on the town
We go out my love
Holdin' all our bets
Oh my lady resurrect this breath
On this hour of the night
We'll make it love we'll make it love.

[Chorus]


5. WEAVE

I will shine
Keep it flowing til the end of time
On my way
Barely living only for today.

I'm gonna buy my baby a new backbone wig
My wave is gonna come in soon
And you will find
I'll keep it flowing til the end of time.

Weave your grace with mine
Wiggle your backbone wig with me, baby
Wiggle your backbone.

On my own
Snd I'll call you baby on the phone
No one's home
still you'll act as if you're all alone.

I'm gonna buy my baby a new backbone wig
My wave is gonna come in soon
You will find
I'll keep it flowing til the end of time.

Don't it make you want to shine?
You make me want to shine.


6. ARTIFICIAL WINTER


Shades of gray coldness from inside
Snowed in without a shovel or plow
Rhetoric on the radio 'Don't you go outside'.

I shiver in the dark coldness all around
Hide behind my jacket Listen to the cold facts of lies
Because we will we will burn
We will we will burn for the winter.

A man pulls off his glove
To take a look at the time
From beneath the watch
Sweat starts to flow.

A father cries out into the night
As his child slips away
A door shuts as the boy reaches that forbidden room.

And the shades of gray
Getting lighter and lighter
And the shades of gray getting lighter and lighter.

Because we will we will burn oh
We will we will burn for the winter.


7. TOO MUCH

Love I think I see you are there again
That place you go when everything on you depends
You hold your ground 'cause we will find a way
To live it all and still have fun.

'Cause it's too much thinking
It's too much worrying
Rest your head aside me now
It's too much thinking upon your shoulders
Rest your worried sould upon me now.

Love before you sleep, let your mind believe
That we can cope with all life hands us
And breathe in deep the strength you need
To fill you up and calm your mind just like i keep telling You.

It's too much thinking
It's too much worrying
Rrest your head aside me now
It's too much thinking upon your shoulders
Rest your worried sould upon me now.

We have it all
I can't believe we made it this far
But we did
We have so much to be this thankful for
And so relax take heart ease your mind.

'Cause it's too much thinking
It's too much worrying
Reast your head aside me now
It's too much thinking upon your shoulders
Rest your worried soul upon me now.


8. SWEET MARY

Where are you now
That my sweet Mary done died
Alone, alone, alone
Somewhere you say
Where my sweet Mary
Held her grave
In her arms
Like an infant odyssey.

Well you can
Hush my little darlin'
Don't you cry
Hush beneath the dreams
We did roam
Cause I do believe
It will be
Just like the color when
The purple sings
When I will know
For sure.

She was held to the blade
Laid down my sweet Mary dear
She laid down upon
The cold winter's floor
And I remember what she said
When she saw the snow turn
To red
She said lord let me be the lord
Let me be the lord.

Well you can
Hush my little darlin'
Don't you cry
Hush beneath the dreams
We did roam.

Cause I do believe it will be
Just like the color when
The purple sings
When yes this angel
Will cover us.


9. HAND ARE LAW

I rode in a boat
With concrete women
They like their coca-colas
Plasticine
These witches of the rocky shores
Cast their spells by whipping stones
Against my skull
Makes my days roll
Like thunder
But when all I was,
Was really bored.

Now I might be thinking it's over
Looking around the theatre for a girl
And you might be drifting upon these
Same waves.

Your hands are law
Your hands are law.

And so I've weaved
Many webs
Cause in my hands my heart
Is shakin' yea
Cause on your velvet throne
All my babies scream so tenderly
Back to the womb they cry for.

Now I might be thinking it's over
Looking around the theatre for a girl
And you might be drifiting upon these
Same waves.

Your hands are law
Your hands are law.


10. CRY

My mood is much darker than fear
It's older than anger
It's infant and primal
It's bubbly and grotesque
It's in between what I know.

And so I ask.

Why should I cry
Whycry.

Let's go my no one love
You're the one, the one
I always wanted to be now
And ever since the break of dawn
You've been next to me
And my mood
You're greedier than sex
But sexier than greed.

And so I ask.

Why should I cry
Why cry.

And all the sailors
They go down
To where the woman lies
And she is dreaming of another
Place in time
A place in time where she can ask.


11. PEOPLE OF MY VILLAGE

Good morning I see you
There on the phone
Good morning I see you
Dead on the throne.

Like a dragonfly
With stone wings
Stone wings I sing
I tell you the ones I love
The people of my village
That I was drowned in a
Scotland sea
By pagans in ecstasy
Mother Father you never
Heard from me.

Good morning I see you
There on the phone
Good morning I see you
Dead on the throne.

Here I sit
Stone wings
Stone wings I sing
I tell you the ones I love
The people of my village
That I was drowned in a
Scotland sea
By pagans in ecstasy
Mother Father you never
Heard from me.

(Tell me why)
Good morning I see you
There on the phone
Good morning I see you
Dead on the throne.

I was lifted
For the gift
For the gift I bring
Held down
I drunk the town
For the people of my village.
