Heist

|
Verse:
I saw you there
I saw you waive him in
His suit and tie and your cardigan
Your matching ties
Was the perfect disguise
For your heist
I heard an engine
And I saw a van
Black as the night
Driven by a secret man
It can't be true
So taboo
But I'm fallin' for you
Chorus:
They say you can't save
What's already lost
The line in the sand
Has already been crossed
I saw you standing there
What have you done
You stole my heart
At the point of a gun
It can't be true
I'm fallin' for you
Verse:
I heard the sirens
And I saw the lights
It broke my heart as it pierced the night
But in the sky
So bright
Were the flashing lights
I saw the struggle
Heard the arguing
I saw you flee down the west wing
Into the crowd
So loud
The shots rang out
Chorus:
They say you can't save
What's already lost
The line in the sand
Has already been crossed
I saw you standing there
What have you done
You stole my heart
At the point of a gun
It can't be true
I'm fallin' for you
Bridge:
The police tape ring
Surrounded the scene
They caught you as
You attempted to flee
But there you were
So cute in your cuffs
That under oath
I began to bluff
You turned your crime
Into a work of art
Entitled the heist
Of my heart
Verse:
Life in bars
Can really take its toll
A life sentence with no parole
But that's okay
I'll write you everyday
I have no other way
Separated by a sheet of glass
They say it's precaution
Based on your past
You'll do time
But I don't mind
Your life of crime
Chorus:
They say you can't save
What's already lost
The line in the sand
Has already been crossed
I saw you standing there
What have you done
You stole my heart
At the point of a gun
It can't be true
I'm fallin' for you

Just A Face
03:50
|
|||
|
Verse:
She's says goodbye, you say hello
What is her name, you'd like to know
But she's just a face
In a crowded space
You'd like to know
You're just a boy and she's just a girl
But in your heart, she's the whole world
But she's just a face
In a crowded space
You'd like to know
Chorus:
You'd like to know her
You want to be together
You'd love to love her
But she is just a stranger
Verse:
Your days are short, her nights are long
You dream of her face on and on
You had your chance
Boy you second guessed
And now she's gone
Your world is blue and your heart feels sad
But please my friend, don't make it bad
She was just a face
In a crowded space
You'll never know
Chorus:
You'd like to know her
You want to be together
You'd love to love her
But she is just a stranger
Verse:
She says goodbye, you waive hello
To meet again, you'll never know
But until that day
She's just a face
In a crowded space
You'd like to know
Chorus:
You'd like to know her
You want to be together
You'd love to love her
But she is just a stranger
Outro:
But until that day
She's just a face
In a crowded space
You'd like to know
She's just a face
In a crowded space
You'd like to know

License Plate
04:03
|
|||
|
Verse:
I said we're the same
Two pictures in a corresponding frame
Like your license plate
That leaves clever hints about your nickname
I put my hand in a small imprint
So dark, so cold, so young, so old
Kept new by casting it to the cement
But when the season turned
You fled but yet my heart, well it still yearned
For the idea of who
The person that I thought I knew to be you
Chorus:
So tell me
Just who you are
'Cause I gotta' know right now
What you are and what you aren't
State your case
Choose a path or walk away
But don't stay on the line
The decision is yours
But I know what I'd do
If it were up to me
And the decision were all mine
Verse:
Have you ever looked back
Wish you'd left your bags unpack
Strewn o'er my floor
Left your sleeping bag
Rolled up and stashed behind the couch
Next to my door
But time was not my friend
It's so dark and so cold
And though I'm all alone
I talk to you everyday
My echoes are the hints
Of what you might say
Did you have to go
Will I ever know
Do you call out my name
Hear your echoes the same
Speeding down the highway
Do you hear me say
Chorus:
So tell me
Just who you are
'Cause I gotta' know right now
What you are and what you aren't
State your case
Choose a path or walk away
But don't stay on the line
The decision is yours
But I know what I'd do
If it were up to me
And the decision were all mine
Verse:
I said we're the same
Two pictures in a broken torn up frame
Like your license plate
That leaves clever hints about your nickname

Salo
04:01
|
|||
|
Verse:
Save it for me girl
Save salo
I've got a bottle of wine
And a cheers to toast
I watched you dance
Under the moon blood red
And I watched the wolves
Crawl into your bed
Listen up it's a warning
It's no figure of speech
Like liturgical colors
And your pigment peach
So take off your dress
And have a drink
You know it ain't easy
You know it ain't free
Chorus:
Fade to orange
Under a cool street light
There's a bloody little corner
Where the price is right
You tear your dress
But never put up a fight
Another dollar in the bank
For a lonely night
It's alright
Verse 2:
Buckle up baby
And batten the hatch
Draw the bolt on the door
And secure the latch
You're breathing is heavy
And your heart rate is slow
You're in the corner of the room
You want no one to know
So take a load off Fanny
Take a load for free
Put the money on the dresser
When it's time to leave
You've got to feed your kids
And put a gun away
You've got to kiss them on the mouth
It's a rainy day
Chorus:
Fade to orange
Under a cool street light
There's a bloody little corner
Where the price is right
You tear your dress
But never put up a fight
Another dollar in the bank
For a lonely night
It's alright
Verse:
Save it for me girl
Save salo
It is no joking matter
It is so hallow
You wear the winds about you
But your hair is a mess
And your bleating little blunder
Is your greatest success

World In Her Eyes
04:10
|
|||
|
Verse:
I don't know much about her
I don't even know where to begin
She's a sheep in wolves clothing
And she's gorgeous as her darkest sin
I swear she's got a spell
And the power of Hell
From within
I don't know too much about her
But I pray to Heaven she'll let me in
Chorus:
'Cause I see the world in her eyes
Mysteries and dreams come aligned
She breathes the stars in her sighs
It's the sound that binds
Verse:
In the planes of astral causal
My dreams are starting to haunt me
I see this fallen angel
Standing on the shores of Galilee
I say unto the Saturn
Mistress madam of this crystal sea
You're an untamed beast of wonder
And I'd like for you to tame me
Chorus:
'Cause I see the world in her eyes
Mysteries and dreams come aligned
She breathes the stars in her sighs
It's like signs of the time
Verse:
Well, I don't know much about her
But she's got something that pulls me in
In the fields of Mars and Venus
This Earth between us never ends
So alight you lunar lover
Starry wonder of my apparition
And breathe me in and under
Like the rain that falls in the evening
Chorus:
'Cause I see the world in her eyes
Mysteries and dreams come aligned
She breathes the stars in her sighs
It's like signs of the time
Chorus:
'Cause I see the world in her eyes
Mysteries and dreams come aligned
She breathes the stars in her sighs
It's the sound that binds

Elise
05:48
|
|||
|
Verse:
Elise, you are so mean
But don't forget me
In release
Won't you please
Elise
With hair as black as the wind
Your touch is pure sadism
You're so cruel
I'm your fool
Elise
Chorus:
Sweet gentle eyes
Caress this love affair
Your dark demand
That I do not share
You break the ice
And put it on your bruise
It's turning black and blue
But it feels numb to you
Locked up in chains
Your a sweet dirty thing
Elise
Verse:
Sacrilegious romance
Your father's last dance
In his hands
You take a chance
Elise
I watch through the night
And when the price is right
In red light
You say goodnight
Elise
Chorus:
Sweet gentle eyes
Caress this love affair
Your dark demand
That I do not share
You break the ice
And put it on your bruise
It's turning black and blue
But it feels numb to you
Locked up in chains
Your a sweet dirty thing
Elise
Verse:
Elise, I am so mean
I won't set you free
Count to three
On your knees
Elise
