fallin’ short of doing all of this
better finish just in time for…
feelin’ better and fallin’ back again
never stealing from your thunder
nova scotia, and my god knows where
there’s something better than this
I said Elizabeth oh
something better than this
I said Elizabeth
feelin’ greater than
but never worse and
gotta hurry and wait
I won’t give up
I won’t and I don’t give a shit
I won’t give up
I won’t and I don’t need this
I won’t give up
I won’t but I’m a little bit scared
pushin’ slowly and it’s on top of me
listen closely, but I don’t hear it
keeling over from the mystery
calling out to my illusions
montreal and, my sweet god knows where
there’s something better than this
I said Elizabeth oh
something better than this
I said Elizabeth

you say you did and I gotta believe
rollin’ high and it’s something to see
spendin’ all that
I don’t know just where the money goes
beer and wine and fallin’ asleep
a tray of blow and a lapper to keep
whiskey – rye, gin
I don’t know just where the money goes
never needed it before
and I don’t need it again
never listen baby always swimmin’ in sin
hedonistic flavours always sweet sweet
sweet - ooh
pack of menthols is brushin’ your teeth
uncle billy’s we’re playin’ for keeps
a cup of coffee
I don’t know just where the money goes
losing time and it feels like a week
I thought I blinked and it must be a dream
get me outta here
I don’t know just where the money goes

Empires Fall
05:20

dark heroin streets
searching endlessly
stormy skies and all of the above
fingers clinging to me
confusion digging deep
discovery and failure holding on
a cold pavement retreat
our innermost beliefs
assaultive eyes and what was the reward?
prying questions beneath
tremble, fall and release
colours perfect - heaven, skin and love
falling like an empire
I’ve just got the things
that been keeping me up
silence still remains
if god almighty said to me:
“My daughter’s free”,
I still would take you
for sure
we’re seeing things so differently
we’re seeing things the same
less perfect than on the canvas
prying fates at the hands of no one
toeing edges with alarming calm
wash your memory clean of all this
pardons waiting and freedom’s nowhere
breath unbroken, faithful just because
ain’t nobody askin’
with them dirty questions
I never needed anything at all
if god almighty said to me:
“My daughter’s free”,
I still would take you
for sure
we’re seeing things so differently
we’re seeing things the same
