Higher Than Heaven Is
Back to the bathroom floor again,
On your knees like a long lost Sunday,
Won't you ever come back down,
Won't you ever come back down?
You walk walk walk around the trees
Never, ever find the woods,
I talk talk talk to my new disease,
Something you never understood
It goes higher than heaven is.
It goes higher than heaven is.
Biting tongues and crawling walls,
Oh, you could disappear hear.
If I'd the time and if I had the mind
I'd go back to the start,
Break my back to break my heart.
It goes higher than heaven is,
Deeper than down,
Goes higher than heaven is,
Deeper than down.
Won't you ever come back down?

MALARIA SUMMER
With feet of clay and brains to match,
I kiss fever lips
You catch me before I collide but,
I went to far before I said it.
And they didn't reply when I said where,
Where are the hands to guide us, and
I let out a smile when I said where,
Where are wings to fly us?
Gone, up and away, my happy side,
Another souls lost forever and
If you wear that dress again
this will not last forever.
I got what I wanted and not what I needed,
too proud to admit it, too scared to change.
I got what I needed but not what I wanted,
can you tell me which way is out?
I don't want to think about it,
Cause I can't live without it,
Might as well take my arms away,
Might as well take my legs away.
And they didn't reply when I said why,
Why aren't the stars all shining and,
I meant what I said when I said why,
Why don't you come out fighting?
Sun, scarring the sky, brings Malaria Summer.
You under the sun, kills me inside.
I got what I wanted and not what I needed,
too proud to admit it, too scared to change.
I got what I needed but not what I wanted,
Can you tell me which way is out?
I don't want to think about it,
Cause I can't live without it,
Might as well take my arms away,
Might as well take my legs away.
Where are the hands to guide us?
Where are the hands to guide us?

LAUGHING TIGERS
No, no, no,
See it ain't that easy,
Though I don't suppose you
Ever had the problem.
Can you feel it?
Sounds like big wheels turning,
Feels like God's own fury,
Looks like no one's learning.
Laughing tigers.
Laughing Tigers.
And you're too scared to close your eyes.
And there's nothing for you in the scheme of things.
And I can't say what day it is and
Does it really matter anyway?
Cut down from both sides, the ground you gave was swallowed whole.
Left with pain, a shadow of doubt, and fear is the best form of defence.
Cut down from both sides, the ground you gave was swallowed whole.
Left with pain, a shadow of doubt, and fear is the best form of defence.
Hey, can you feel it?
Like a warm wind blowing,
Laughing tigers,
Laughing tigers.
Hey, can you feel it?
Like a warm wind blowing,
Laughing tigers,
Laughing tigers.

FATHOMS
And I can't
find the connection.
In hope,
there is desperation.
Outside, nothing seems real
And inside, there's nothing to see of me.
And now that we're together,
I think I've gone too far.
I still awake from fields of sleep
to a troubled world, six fathoms down
A happy road, where I must go,
Hope dashed upon the rocks below
You know
The ocean never leaves those
Who now, then and shall forever know.
As the water takes a hold
To keep you in his memory,
The way you are the way I think
you used to be.
To take away all the doubt
And the things I can't undo,
The wind of change, it blows softly on you.
And she slipped down...

FIREFLY
Here at the start,
Here at the end,
Counting every breath that you take.
In forest shapes, shrink and grow
Voices through the fog that blind us.
From here to home, from head to bone
As the world walks into the water.
In reverence to God's first animal
All the others bow down before him
Hypnotised, mesmerised,
Waiting for the sun to climb
Firefly, dragonfly,
you burn so bright and fly so high,
fly so high.

COMING HOME
Wind blows ghost-like summer rains
That roll over the sand, shore, my sea.
All the words you left unspoken.
10,000 miles and the chain has broken
I'm coming home
I'm coming home.
It's my reward all that I'm longing for.
It's my reward all that I'm longing for.
Somewhere between heaven and me,
Is you, too hazy, too far out of reach.
I call for dawn to break down the shadows,
I go whatever which way the wind blows, and
I'm blinded by your day,
Like a pale moon at morning,
I'm left feeling that way,
I'm left feeling that way,
It's what
Made the people, tore this heart apart
And we'll
Kill the nation, lose all salvation.
I'm coming home
I'm coming home.
It's my reward all that I'm longing for.
It's my reward all that I'm longing for.
Inside she breaks
Deceiving worlds with a
Perfect face...
I'm coming home
I'm coming home.
It's my reward all that I'm longing for.
It's my reward all that I'm longing for.

SOUTHERN BELL
This city never sleeps,
This city runs the clock with every God given hour
No time to stop and think,
No time for anything but tomorrow's dress and yesterday's news
Waiting for the dawn,
I see patterns forming, undercurrents running,
Screaming in my ears
The city smokes and roars,
This is what we struggled for?
And the weak at the wall get no answers, for now
And
I found a picture of you,
Hidden away in the pages at the back
of my mind.
And all the things you said, you promised me that would never come true,
Came with the morning, this morning
Cars slide past and blind into the winter heart as madness screams across this land,
Rising with the dawn, the voice of treason, singing, screaming through electric air,
And
I found a picture of you, hidden away in the pages at the back
of my mind
At the back of my mind.
Gulls fly to the canopy
It's old and grey
Like my face
Today

ANOTHER ISLAND
With heavy heart, we hit the ground
We fly so high to reach so low.
The busy streets of empty faces, outside
The distance I feel begins to grow.
With heavy heart, we hit the ground
With heavy heart, we hit the ground
We fly so high and fall so far.
They fight in fields so rare.
The funeral drum, the soldier's song,
Reminds me of another island
Where the same weak voice sings on and on and on...
With heavy heart, we hit the ground
With heavy heart, we hit the ground
We fly so high and fall so far.

Unsure She Said

UNSURE, SHE SAID
And the lights on the freeway
Of all the people coming home,
Flicker round the wall and ceiling,
Leave me cold and leave me feeling
Like the taste of the gun that still remains,
blunt and empty on the table.
"Unsure, but willing and able
To take away your freedom."
She said, "Leave your clothes where they stand,"
And "This sea will have us all."
Leave your clothes where they stand.
She said I think I'm going down and I said yeah.
But
I got people underhand and a heart that don't know
When to stop
I tried love, money and alcohol and
"You just don't know what pain is."
Christene, the colour of your mind
Colours my obsession, now
Just press your hands together, stuck
Between him and heaven.
She said "Leave your clothes where they stand,"
And "The sea will have us all."
Leave your clothes where they stand.
She said I think I'm going down and I said yeah.

MAKO
It's the weight of the wind, you know,
That blows through old and weathered stones
That broke the straw that broke your back,
Sold and saved to halt the lack of
Circumstance, will take a rag,
Lay it on our burning brow,
Mothers of fate and destiny have played a higher on me.
Mako.
Mako.
And the stain on your skin that still remains,
Blue as the sky, wild untamed,
And twice as holy as blood or wine
Our hearts, arms, minds entwine.
The flame burns bright in your eyes,
The vows of ice, a world of fire,
It's so cold,
Divine inspired.
Mako.
Mako.
It's the weight of the wind you know...
