Sketches for My Sweetheart the Drunk lyrics

(Genesis Cover)

I see faces and traces of home
Back in new york city
So you think Im a tough kid
Is that what you heard?
Well, I like to see some action,
And it gets into my blood.
Well, they let me out of pontiac
When I was just seventeen
I had to get it out of me
If you know what I mean, what I mean.

They say I must be crazy
Cause I dont care who I hit, who I hit.

Say farewell, g'night, Sonny-Jim,
In your defenseless, winning smile.
What do you hope to win?
And bliss face down, defended.
Well, now stoned Demon John
There's no town the boy cannot belong

Why did you come here?
Is it to excavate all your sins? Boil within?
Slaughter like the daughter of the devil you send me.
I have to deal, you called me here.
You couldn't say that you were juiced

Twenty-nine pearls in your kiss
A singing smile
Coffee smell and lilac skin
Your flame in me

Twenty-nine pearls in your kiss
A singing smile
Coffee smell and lilac skin
Your flame in me

Im only here for this moment

I know everybody here wants you
I know everybody here thinks he needs you
Ill be waiting right here just to show you
How our love will blow it all away

Don't you wanna let go of your heart
Or you resist the beds of bliss
Fortune makes fools of us all
My dear materialista, silence was insane
The parting was mutual.
Don't you want the rocket to rock out?
There's room for us both to fly.
Tell the man I'm never coming back again.
Tell the man I'm never coming back again.
Why should you notice at all?
Gone againe beside you will fall

your wish is my command!
have you heard this talk about eye contact?
gonna be the downfall of this town.
first the photographs take you to the right hand.
leads you to the authority mold.

paranoia will write this world prayer
make sure that you fill in the right holes
but when you take his offer, you're done for,
done for, done for, oh-oo-oh-oh!

phantoms in pockets, we're in panic,

There's no easy answer
None to blame or forgive
Two cripples dancing
To the end we live

One last look at the wonder
One last look at the wonder
Oh god i love you
And all of the past we once knew
Some other love becomes you
Whatever else we come to

I know we could be so happy baby
If we wanted to be

I'll sit here and wait
Break out the oldest picture
Hang your ruined letters out to dry

i know you're a woman by the way you burn below
i'll tell you secrets so good, you'll never tell a soul
come closer, that bonfire holds his life like stones
my years, my life unknown

diamonds from the pavement broken glass had been.
just like these troubles that i'm leaving to the wind.
like sapphires in boxcars speeding towards the end.
like thieves, my bad luck grows.

time takes care of the wound
or so i can believe
you had so much to give
u thought i couldn't see

gifts for bootheels to crush
promises deceived
i had to send it away
to bring us back again

your eyes and body brighten
silent waters deep
your precious daughter in the
other room asleep

a kiss goodnight from every
stranger that you meet
i had to send it away
to bring us back again

morning theft

would you like to meet the villain somewhere
underneath the skull of a moon.
fire burned his eyes out
cause his chains are too long for you.
someone has to pay for the damage done. no-one's gonna love you now.
your whole family's splintered, you're a slave to it all now.

ooooo ahhhhh
oh, you're a slave to it all now
you're a slave

welcome down to paradise rock. there is no single entrance,

oooooo.
fall in light, fall in light.
fall in light, fall in light.
feel no shame for what you are (X 5)

as you now are in your heart
fall in light
feel no shame for what you are
feel no shame for what you are
feel it as a waterfall
fall in light, ooh.
fall in light, fall in light,
fall in light, ooh.
fall in light, fall in light fall in light,
grow in light.

beware the bottled thoughts of angry young men.
secret compartments hide all of the skeletons.
little girl wants to make her home with him,
in the middle of the shore, she wonders,
"don't know what you asked for."
"don't know what you asked for."

all your lovers know why
nightmares blind their mind's eye.
your rube is young and handsome,
so new to your bedroom floor,

i once was open and one with a travelling heart.
i loved this sweet guy.
just like a fiction rushing in your riverbed.
arise like applause in my head.
and in the half-light where we both stand.
this is the half-light, see me as i am.
just like the ocean, always in love with the moon,
it's overflowing now, inside you.
we fly right over the minds of so many in pain.

How many times have you heard someone say
If I had money, I'd do things my way,
But little they know that it's so hard to find
One rich man in ten with a satisfied mind.
Money can't buy back your youth when you're old
A friend, when you're lonely, or peace to your soul.
The wealthiest person is a pauper at times
Compared to the man with a satisfied mind.

Circle around the park, joining hands in silence
Watch the evil black the sky
The storm has ripped the shelter of illusion from our brow
This power is no mystery to us now
Leave your spirit genocide, the cancer you won't remove
We cast our funeral rose inside and bury the need to prove
Our mutilation is to gain from the system
Turn your head away from the screen, oh people

i have no desire to make contact with all the thought of "no, no".
i shiver now, to think of how this answer asked her, no.
long time gone.
i run to my hide out.

there ain't a star born that brightens
more than you, you always should have known, joan.
i'll illuminate your question,
long time ago I'd died and gone.

what has brought the question?
time has brought the question.

lady, all the troubles are my fright, i disgust you.
feel the power. you cut the truth into you.
why? did you think i did not on this rely?
i could kiss you, with lines of escape in my mouth.

please let me bring back these gifts of mine to the woman.
stars shined on my back as I slept and knew you.

you didn't leave it all.
you made an even call.

ooooooooooooooooooo.oooooooooooooooo.
it sounds just like a scream. i don't know what you mean.
your witchcraft's all around me in your ragged pagan scene.
you tell me all the ways around my garden that you like.
i float just like a bubble heading for a spike.

all is well between the breasts of passenger and slave.
we'll never make it out alive to join the witches' rave.

through the yard, through the yard of blonde girls.
through the river and the sea.
gold sharks glittering.
a tree of white breaks the earth.
the streets where lola played.
very sexy, very sexy.

okay, okay.
fear, we may come. (X 4)

so run, run, run, run, run, run, run.

it's in your heart, it's in your art, your beauty.
even in this world of lies, there's purity,

You and I.
Ah, the calm below that poisoned river wild,
You and I.
Tears that dry on a rude awakened child.
Where you look down
I've walked before, burning holes
With eyes of liquid brown.
If we had only known, in a way
We wouldn't reach this ground.
You were my only home, silver eyes.
I want to see you shine.
And we will fell the weight
Fall away from us in time
Searching our past for the true

i want to tell you a story about a little cutey
she's ass-slappin' pretty and fingers wanna let her lick me
stick the thick of my pussy From across the street
she looked good enough to eat... me! kitty!
your flesh is nice
your flesh is nice
let me take a bite
your flesh is so nice
oh, i take off my belt
oh, i whip the staircase (whip the staircase)
kill all the men everything's dead to them
