Circuitry of the Wolf (Link)

Instrumental

In parallel sea what would I be?
My first love said to me:
"Tears out for the world to see"
I would not be
I did not see the chinaberry tree
Tears out, it would feel so
Heavenly, heavenly, heavenly
Hard now to picture a me
Without a you

"Don't interfere"
Part of her back was frozen
For the remainder of the war
"Don't be concerned"
But I never learned how not to be
As my first love said to me:
"I don't care. I'm not there"
So that I could not sleep
My whole being was falling apart
So that I soon cried out:
"Dear friends, hold me!"

Why are you looking grave?
Are you thinking of something to say?
Why are you sitting there?
Are you hoping that someone will stare?

Your mouth is hiding
You've got smiling eyes

Why are you looking grave?
Are you thinking of something to say?
Be I thinking of you?

Your mouth is hiding
You've got smiling eyes
Softly dividing
What they see in your face
From what you feel like inside

Who are all those who greet me?
Does it matter if I know?

Your mouth is hiding
You've got joyless eyes
Softly contriving
All the terrible things
That shook up our hearts enough

No more trying
Too much terribleness these days
And what you thought was true
Well, they were lying to you
And made a kid cry
So did you change the locks?
And did you hide the fox cub?
Don't make fun
Because we don't

So did you change the locks?
And did you hide the fox cub?
Don't make fun
Because we don't

In nolan time sign
What does the mind cover?
Are we talking?
White is the winter

Care-line, care-lines thumped it up
What are your stories all about?
Carries a weight on her swing
On her swing

Black waves come
And so fear me, December
Sinking in nolan time
I've lost all my pure feelings
The psychiatrist posing as psychologist
When fear predicts
Then doubly the mind suffers
Are we talking?
White is the winter

Care-line, care-lines thumped it up
What are your stories all about?
Carries a weight on her swing
On her swing

Black waves come
And so fear me, December
Sinking
Waltz with me, courageously
We're dancing, dancing

We will not die
Our days are multiplied
And I'm happy again

Care-line, care-lines thumped it up
What are your stories all about?
Carries a weight on her swing
On her swing

You're special
You're like rocket through me
Ohh, you're special
You're a rocket through me
And I cannot this time

Agarina
You can't say no
Agarina
This time you will go

You're special
You're like a rocket through me
Ohh, you're special
You're a rocket through me
And I cannot this time

There's a taste that you can't shake
But you can't seem to let them go awry
I know you're special
You're a rocket through me
At this surprised
All the time

I know you said to me
And I don't care at the same time
But I'll take you up and down
Address it to you

You're special
You're like rocket through me
Ohh, you're special
You're a rocket to me
And I cannot this time

There's a taste that you can't shake
But you can't seem to let them go awry
I know you're special
You're a rocket through me
At this surprised
All the time

Agarina
You can't say no
Agarina
This time you will go

I know you said to me
And I don't care at the same time
But I'll take you up and down
I just said to you

Honey bee

I know you said to me
I don't care at the same time
And what do you stay to do?
I saw the worst of you

Are you my lady, are you
My lady are you, are you
My lady are you my lady, are you
My lady are you, are you?

If I don't make it back from the city
Then it is only because I am drawn away
For you see, evidently there's a dark storm coming
And the chain on my swing is squeaking like a mouse, so

Are you my lady, are you
My lady are you, are you
[The rain, the rain, the rain] My lady are you, my lady are you
[is falling down, the cars remain] My lady are you, are you

You're tall just like a giraffe
You have to climb to find its head
But if there's a glitch
You're an ostrich
You've got your head in the sand

In a submersible I can hardly breathe
As it takes me inside, so the light sings
Answer me truthfully, do the clouds kiss you?
With meringue-coloured hair, I know they cannot, so

[The rain, the rain, the rain] Are you my lady, are you
[is falling down, the cars remain] My lady are you, are you
[The rain, the rain, the rain] My lady are you, my lady are you
[is falling down, the cars remain] My lady are you, are you

Santa Ana winds bring seasickness
Zookeeper hear me out
How dare you go?
Cold in the rain

Tall just like a giraffe
You have to climb to find its head
But if there's a glitch
You're an ostrich
You've got your head in the sand

Are you my lady, are you
My lady are you, are you
[The rain, the rain, the rain] My lady are you, my lady are you
[is falling down, the cars remain] My lady are you, are you
[The rain, the rain, the rain] My lady are you, my lady are you [I could not]
[is falling down, the cars remain] My lady are you, are you [be seen with you]

[The rain, the rain, the rain] My lady are you, my lady are you [I could not]
[is falling down, the cars remain] My lady are you, are you [be seen with you]
[The rain, the rain, the rain] My lady are you, my lady are you [Working half the time]
[is falling down, the cars remain] My lady are you, are you [and looking fine in cars re-made]

[The rain, the rain, the rain] My lady are you, my lady are you [Working half the time]
[is falling down, the cars remain] My lady are you, are you [and looking fine in cars re-made]
[The rain, the rain, the rain] My lady are you, my lady are you [Working half the time]
[is falling down, the cars remain] My lady are you, are you [and looking fine in cars re-made]

[The rain, the rain, the rain] My lady are you, my lady are you [Working half the time]
[is falling down, the cars remain] My lady are you, are you [and looking fine in cars re-made]
[The rain, the rain, the rain] My lady are you, my lady are you [Working half the time]
[is falling down, the cars remain] My lady are you, are you [and looking fine in cars re-made]

Opens up her blouse to the cool night
With no shaking of time
Because she has in mind
A dark design
Now I'm a so-called cube
Speaking out, she said to me

She said:
Hi, I'm twice coloured
Wait till you see how their in love
With my sickness
There is no more time for the weaklings
With an unfamiliar smile
A self-destructive mind of dark design
We may just live through life
Watching it from sweet repose
Cut up with knives that slice open
I'm professional now

Everly, everly I


Can you not look at me through sides?
Everly, everly I
Did you not summon up their kite?

Opens up her face
To the delight of their red piercing beaks
It didn't hurt this time
My dark design
They leave her left behind
Slits into her all convinced
That she's their favourite way
Practicing
But getting worse

So high
I'm twice coloured
Wait till you see
I made a truce with the blackness dyer
I know colours wait for you
I feel so car-sick and alone

We are the Defenders of Jazz Ballet
People say, when they see us:
Hey, folks! It's the Saviours of Jazz Ballet
Fearless heroes of kick and spin

Baby, hear as they come
Crawling on some black and dying tree
Every night peacefully set the world on fire
Every night I hear the red parade

Say we, by command of the microphone
Such is our conviction
Make way for the Saviours of Jazz Ballet
Hollow hearts make for pleasant lives

All manner of malady come to be seen
All manner of malady come to be seen
Why do you call me at the door?
You don't know me
Why do you?
Why do you call me all the time?
You don't know me

In the corners of eyes
I'll stretch the sky in blue
And I'm thinking you're made for me
And I'm thinking of things you said

Hey now! No using me
Hey now! Can you see them?
No use in me
When all you want is
And when you go I stay
There are no complications
And when you go I stay
The blood is on moirre hands today

Why do you call me at the door?
You don't know me
Why do you?
Why do you call me all the time?
You don't know me
Assigned to ascertain their find
For I believe these fields divide
The other world
We timeless horse employ, envoy
How do you know?
Where did you go?
Solar, I can't see anything
Collide with me

In the corners of your eyes
I'll stretch the sky in blue
And I'm thinking we knew no better
And I'm thinking
We're dying

Instrumental

Saying goodbye now
Looking at friends
A lump comes in my throat
Hearing them all speak of you

It rains
We have no umbrella brought
With which the wind be fought
The seething rain weeps for you

Speaking of better days
There are so many things I want to say
Should I re-live my life
I'd run into you much sooner

Time has, it would seem
Quickened its pace
Leaving upon your face
A curly smile meant just for me

Speaking of better days
I try to remember everything
But as the years go by
The dark moments lift
Like rain clouds do

With destruction hands
And low lit snow becoming
Winter body aches

Speaking of better days
I try to remember everything
But as the years go by
The dark moments lift
Like rain clouds do

From my window I watch the day go by

Wake me up
Only nightmares take me in
Through these walls the winter bites
A draft from all sides
Why did you not include me on your list?
Let me in through the ceiling
White lips kissed

Our love is a fickle love
Keeps itself locked in a suitcase
To be ready to go
Always

I won't cry when the silver lining shows
But you're right
You understand
You ride with both hands
Worrying is the breathing that you need
So there won't be far to fall
You mustn't climb tall

Things that are supposed to mean lots
Leave you cold
And with a malady of the soul

Our love is a tricky love
Bet you know this
Bet you noticed
Bet you know, which is why

I should know better than anyone ever could
Soon as I let go
Everything falls apart

I won't cry when the silver lining shows
But you're right
You understand
You ride with both hands
Worrying is the breathing that you need
So there won't be far to fall
You mustn't climb tall

Wake me up
Only nightmares take me in
Through these walls the winter bites
A draft from all sides
Of course you can
There are diamonds in demand
It's a shame and as you know
The stain will not go

Call Louise Louisa do
I assess myself through you
Call Louise Louisa do
I had such a night
Come true
Overhead
Morning skies all for you

What a day I have had
What a day I have had
Now it's over, isn't it?
What a day I have had
What a day I have had
Now it's over, isn't it?
There goes Louisa
There goes Louisa

Dig out yourself from rubble
Removing all your skin
And don't ever think of trouble
The darkness that has been
No, don't patronize with sorrow
I don't mean to

I'm in a car
I don't know where we are headed for
Stay with me
Don't want to be alone
