Альбом Sarah Slean

Armies and ice and dirty green
Newspapers shovels sand on the breeze
I think of Eliot when I smell the street
And it’s sometimes wise just to shut your eyes
Workers and lovers make their living space neat
Bent out of shape over what to eat
I dream of Eliot but I am discrete
Cause its sometimes wise just to shut your eyes

How sure how right
Can anyone be on sight?
I said I had hope
I lied

The city in winter, the sewage the steam
You fill buildings with people
And they rip at the seams
And somebody’s suffering infected my dreams
And don’t they know?
It’s just my old soul

How sure how right
Can anyone be on sight?
I said I had hope
I lied

So calm so wise
Give him the Nobel prize
He said he had hope
He lied

I was born by an old streetlight
where the men lean out of
their windows at night
and I was a lead in the orphan choir,
and I sang with all my might
until I grew up
too high then oh,

all the notes I used to play
on the double bass in the b-list ballet
with only the night bugs to lead me home
with their sad-luck serenade

the rain was never ending,
the sadness in my heart
would light and glow in the dark

oh this will never change,
time just wears a prettier face
I'm book smart, street stupid

Lyricsso don't look for me in confession booth,
I'm with my paints and my pens
and my dry vermouth
trying to uncover
some small truth
with these cards close to my chest

the rain was never ending
the sadness in my heart
would light and glow in the dark

oh, this will never change
time just wears a prettier face
I'm book smart, street stupid

the rain still never ending
the wonder in my heart
would light and glow in
it still lights and glows in the dark

They’re counting on a guilty conscience to save you
But I’m banking on the deep blue eyes and the face too
They always said always said always said you were easy
If I could have just one piece of that I’d be
Sold

Come over to the sweet ones baby
I’ll tell you where to go
I can’t see them when they’re walking sideways I don’t know
I don’t know

Come over to my house I’ll tend to you solo
So fabulous and well dressed up like a talk show
They always said always said always said you were easy
If I could have just one piece of that I’d be
Sold

Come over to the sweet ones baby
I’ll tell you where to go
I can’t see them when they’re walking sideways I don’t know
I don’t know
Lyrics
Oh so sad we
Love you madly
Want to take you home

If I could have just one piece of that I’d be
Sold
Come over to the sweet ones baby
I’ll tell you where to go
I can’t see them when they’re walking sideways I don’t know
I don’t know

Always wondered why your eyes closed
Don't you want to see me closing mine?
Heaven, help me, I'll devour him
See me drawing out his spine

Hey, boy, come sleep
I will turn the ocean into sky
How do you keep....
When the love... is making you high
Out of sight, out of mind
High........

You're afraid of what I'll do to you
Recall the taste of something sweet
Between a thousand sheets of memory
I cannot be blamed because you're weak....

Hey, boy, come sleep
I will turn the ocean into sky
How do you keep....
When the love... is making you high
Out of sight, out of mind
High........

Hey Mister Paper
Better get your story straight
We're not from the sixties
And it's Sarah with an h

And, oh, sometimes
The way you read things
The way you see things
The way you reach things
Hurts my heart

Oh, I fear
Somehow you'll find the need
To spit out my name
Like a watermelon seed

And, oh, sometimes
I think 'what am I doing?
This business of bleeding'
A dime for showing
My heart
Lyrics
Oh, twin moon
You are my twin moon
Take me up-sky
So I can kiss you
Drink your starlight

Oh, twin moon
You are my twin moon
Take me up-sky
So I can kiss you
Drink your start light

I want to show you
I want to show you
I want to show you
My heart

Here's a story 'bout me and Jerome
Just convinced him to come out of his home
Free as freedom with the highways to roam,
he said. "I'll take a drink but I don't smoke anymore"
He loosened up when we hit Tennessee
Drinking bourbon and laughing at me
I asked him why he disappeared so suddenly,
he said. "I ran away before they made a movie outta me"

And I'm charmed, charmed, charmed
Glad to take a ride
You're a song, song, song my friend
For lunch we split a book and a banana pie.

On the interstate I ran out of gas
Had a vision of the motel we passed
The needle was falling and the falling fast
Pulled her in the drive and the whole thing collapsed
He said, "I must admit I've never done this sort of thing
But I like our eyes and the way you sing"
It doesn't matter where you ought to be
How you get there's the thing.

Inside a heart
Of freezing boys
Searching for the answer
In a shiny dime

Who beg for sleep
And piece of mind
Why must the aging page
Decide?

Me and John the 23rd have
Tasted these sour words and I
Just can't shake this belief that it's not a
Test of devotion or something you read

From the dawn of time
They taught her why
Not to ask those questions
And never cry

A plate of stars
LyricsCould never take the place of the
Boy who swore to catch me
As I run through the rye

I know it's been quite a long time since I
Sang a hym without guilt in my eyes
And I know he truly wouldn't care
'Cause if you really tried, he'd save a place for you there

My weary heart
Is looking, restless
Not for a pardon
But just one promise

All the faith that one can deserve, it's
Enough to wonder why you punish your girls
Sure he's facing you now, and not the wall, but isn't that
Better than facing nothing at all?
