Mystery White Boy lyrics

There is a child sleeping near his twin
The pictures go wild in a rush of wind
That dark angel he is shuffling in
Watching over them with his black feather wings unfurled

The love you lost with her skin so fair
Is free with the wind in her butterscotch hair
Her green eyes bloom goodbyes
With her head in her hands and your kiss on the lips of another
Dream brother

The ghost calls to visit
With my keys in his pocket
Kisses in my mouth with his
Eyes hanging out of his sockets
My memories crumble
Under still resistance
I was torn out like pages
From the book of existence

I woke up in a strange place
My mind a blur and some blood on my chin
I made a call for a blackened cab
Some destination was moving on in
I remember the words that you told me

i first saw you
you had on blue jeans
your eyes couldn't hide
anything
i saw you leaving, oh

i saw you staring out in space

i next saw you
you were at the party
thought you was a dream
oh so flirty

i came against

didn't say excuse
knew what i was doing
we looked very fine
as we were leaving

just like saint joan
doing a cool jerk
oh, i want you
like a kangaroo

mood swing whiskey
drank it all in the morning
waiting for the dark to move in
sitting in my step-sister's kitchen
horseflies on the window sill
eyes trained on the lemon king
and wishing it were a gun

i'm thinking of our wedding rings
trapped inside the heater
spring water on the floor of this
sex starved room

the nightmare's fires burn
the waves of bliss
i tried to stop it with my hand

the night is bitter,
the stars have lost their glitter;
the winds grow colder
and suddenly you're older -
and all because of the man that got away.

no more his eager call,
the writing's on the wall;
the dreams you dreamed have all
gone astray.

the man that won you
has gone off and undone you.
that great beginning
has seen the final inning.
don't know what happened. it's all a crazy game!

It's been such a long time
And I was just a child then
What will you say
When you've seen my face?

Time feels like it's flown away
The days just pass and fade away
What will you say
When you've seen my face?

It's funny now
But I just don't feel like a man
What will you say
When you've seen my face?

Mother dear, the world's gone cold
No one cares about love anymore
What will you say
