She hides from me behind her mountain
Keeps me yearning in the fields
Dies for me behind her mountain
Leaves me burning in the fields
And then she comes out to greet me
And to tell me that we live in a garden green
We live a dream
Just to tell me that that we live in a garden green
We live a dream
She bleeds for me here in our temple
Writes our names in the sky
She bleeds for me here in our temple
Writes our new names in the sky
And then she comes out to greet me
And to tell me that we live in a garden green
We live a dream
Just to tell me that that we live in a garden green
We live a dream

Hospitality

I took my time, you know
Too see how far I could go
Before you disconnected me
That's just my style, you know
And I suppose that you know
That I am only passing through
I'm grateful for your hospitality
You're always good to me
You still believe in me and my immortality
I will never let you down
When I take human form
I wear a black uniform
So that you'll stay away from me
That's just my style you know
And I suppose that you know
I don't take things for granted
Especially not your hospitality
You're always good to me
You still believe in me and my immortality
I will never let you down

Back in the blace where you live
We have memories
We share mysteries
And as we come back there again
We die again

Our crazy lady, she got hair down to her knees
Our lady's fluent in both german and chinese
Grant us an audience, we promise we won't touch a thing!
Our crazy lady's growing all those crazy plants
Just move over, there's still room for another!
Don't sit around too long, they'll grab you by your arms and feet
Though we're all idiots she still introduced us
To Otto Dix, Dream Syndicate and Proust (wow!)
And best of all, she tought me how to be untouchable
When our lady left, it didn't change a thing
Because she left us with a thousand songs to sing
And in the backroom of a bookstore, someone still whispers her name

Back on the Island
04:24

I will build a house on the beach and then
Let them know I will never eat again
I know the sea will take care of me
When I'm back on the island
When I'm back in the bay
All those bands by which you'll remember me
The March Violets, the Danse Society
My records are yours if you like
When I'm light as a feather
And gone with the breeze
In the trash behind the grocery store
In the debris washed up on the shore
I'll find things, I'll make pretty patterns
When I'm high as a cloud
And I fly like the mayfly
I will leave London behind and then
Let them know I will never come back again
I know the sea will take care of me
When I'm back on the island
When I'm back in the bay

Countess - Isn't that a beatiful house you built for youself?
Countess - All those beautiful trophies on your shelf
You like to keep things clean - but I like to keep my shoes on
You like to keep things clean - but you're right about your house
It's yours, but you won't be around forever
It's your now
Countess - I used to dream that we were together
Countess - That we were holding and making plans
You like to keep things clean - but I like to keep my shoes on
You like to keep things clean - but you're right about your land
It's yours, but you won't be around forever
It's your now

And we can't please everyone
But we try sometimes
And we promise to sometimes
Still we die sometimes
Yes we do
And to die is just one of those things we do
Don't you cry little angel
And I promised to take care of things
But I fail sometimes
I never grew a pair of wings
But I fly sometimes
And I know you fly too
Oh my love, it's just one of those things we do
Don't you cry little angel

My skull is numb
This wooden life
These rotting legs
These rotting floors
Dogs claws wake me
Childs eyes pierce me
In my dreams this is not a place you go to die
Lesson one - how to be a good boy
Lesson two - how to be a good boy
My mind's gone wrong
This wooden life
And what did they tell me?
"You can become a real boy!"
Some people fear me
The earth kills me
In my dreams you're making a bonfire out of me
Lesson three - how to be a good boy etc.

Mummy did the dishes
Father read the sunday paper
It's a perfect day and the sun was shining
And I made my way across the floor, crawling like a snake
I could be anything
A living room dream
Mummy planted flowers
Daddy was washing his car
And I was amused to see the water run
Watching it meander down the street
On days like these I could be anything
A spring sun dream
And at the end of the street
There was a great green field
And at the end of it was a forest
And she said "That is the place where noone goes"
Mommy shouted "Sophie where are you?
You've got to come inside
Sophie dear, you're going to catch a cold"
Sophie wouldn't listen, and she hid under a balcony
And she felt to warm, and the felt real safe
And at the end of the street
There was a great green field
And at the end of it was a forest
And she said "That is the place where noone goes"
