Where the Sky Begins

if it all amounts to nothing, I'm not prepared to see it through
gravity pulling on me, I'm not prepared to see it through
where I end and the sky begins, gone, all in all it's gone
it's always in my head it's all I wanna do
it's always in my head it's all I'm gonna do
if i was built for more than this, i'd stare ahead into the blank
then i would fade into the air, put my head down and disappear
i'm not here
where I end and the sky begins, gone, all in all it's gone
it's always in my head it's all I'm gonna do
if i was built for more than this, i'd stare ahead into the blank
then i would fade into the air, put my head down and disappear
i'm not here
there's nothing here
if it all amounts to nothing
there's nothing here

Verse 1:
Nights in Manhattan
I saw a vision
I saw a vision of my old friend
Nights in the city
You were a vision
You were a vision in white
Let’s pretend (we're)
Chorus:
Tending gardens in the streets
Shaky hands exchanging earth
Planting diamonds with our teeth
We were always pretenders
Building castles in the sea
First they rise and then they burn
In a world of make-believe
We were always pretenders
Verse 2:
Mornings in London
Fog over London
Forgive and forget it all once again
Evenings in Paris, Tokyo, Berlin
Will we remember them in the end?
Chorus
Chorus 3:
Tending gardens in the streets
Shaky hands exchanging earth
Planting diamonds with our teeth
We can all be pretenders
Building castles in the sea
First they rise and then they burn
We are strangers when we meet
And we can all be pretenders
All be pretenders.

Who can I blame, when every office day is the same
If it doesn’t change, I’ll find a like and find a hate
Tell them all what your mom told you, fake it till you make it through
If your stomach turns hold it down
When you were young you could hold the moon
Now you’re singing a different tune. White china girl, brown sugar spoon.
We're on display, an asphyxia parade
What can I change? Shoot me into outer space
Tell them all what your mom told you
Ziggy played the magic flute
Your stomach turns while you spin around
When you were young you could hold the moon
Now you’re singing a different tune. White china girl, brown sugar spoon
My, look at what I did, if you gotta tough itch, try a hard switch, Zoe needs a lift, or get another gig. Hold your breath and wish
Just another day in the dirt and then I'm gonna quit
Day will come something true for you now if you find it
Break will come pull you through now look away
Turn and turn again like you can’t stand this whole sham
Ziggy's jam.

I’m so happy cause you're with me now
In the morning we go to bed and sleep
In the sunlight bask in our glory cause I'm so happy
Drink your tea and weep
Gonna find me a love I can hate like you
(gonna find me a love sometime, wanna forget that your love was mine)
Gonna find me a love I can hate like you
I’m so deadly and my pockets aren’t clean
That’s okay though, you know I like you mean
Yeah I want you to make me happy cause I'm so happy
Drink your tea and weep

(How to Become a) Shadow
04:07

|
Do you wanna get out of the cage of what you fear?
Close your eyes in the cool of the day then disappear
But don’t be surprised, no
When you realize
Here beside you, I never felt so far away, so far away
Right here with me
In the shadow, I never felt so far away, so far

She Talks to Machines

I called out for her in the dark but she wasn’t there
I fell hard for her from the start but she didn’t care
She talks to machines Lead me on, turn me in
Her sweet nothing tore me apart it just isn’t fair
She was out playing with my heart while I wasn’t there
Whoopity doo skip to my Lou my darling
She was out playing with my heart while I wasn’t there
I’ll be back in a moment I’ll be fine in a moment
Nothing is haunting me, nothing as it is, next time try me
I’ll get out in a moment, I’ll react in a moment

The Loneliest Star

Whatever happened to the time
Could I find another way
I don’t believe in what I’ve made I can’t believe I’m sorry
Burn out or fade away, Burn out or fade away
Get out or get into a line
Something to take the sting away
Next time I’m coming off the ride
I’m coming down I’m sorry

Sleeping Rose, fainting girl, those haunting words
When dad left home without a goodbye, mama said I’m here and she wouldn’t lie
Since mama died from a hole in her lung I sleep all day like when I was young
Mom would tell me “theres always some way”.
When I’m sleeping I think of her promises
Promises

Spin the Outside Durham, New Hampshire
"Spin The Outside certainly veer towards the prolific, yet the controls are firmly set on quality not quantity.
