Soap&Skin - Pale Blue Eyes

Sometimes I feel so happy
Sometimes I feel so sad
Sometimes I feel so happy
But mostly you just make me mad
Baby, you just make me mad
Linger on, your pale blue eyes
Linger on, your pale blue eyes

Thought of you as my mountaintop
Thought of you as my peak
Thought of you as everything
I've had but couldn't keep
I've had but couldn't keep
Linger on, your pale blue eyes
Linger on, your pale blue eyes

If I could make the world as pure
And strange as what I see
I'd put you in the mirror
I put in front of me
I put in front of me
Linger on, your pale blue eyes
Linger on, your pale blue eyes

Skip a life completely, stuff it in a cup
She said, money is like us in time
It lies but can't stand up
Down for you is up
Linger on, your pale blue eyes
Linger on, your pale blue eyes

It was good what we did yesterday
And I'd do it once again
The fact that you are married
Only proves you're my best friend
But it's truly, truly, truly a sin
Linger on, your pale blue eyes
Linger on, your pale blue eyes

(originally recorded by The Velvet Underground)

Soap&Skin - Cynthia

I'm waiting for this test to end
Hi, I'm loosing myself in you, high
I'm loosing

Bayou rolling insane
I've dived in it
In wide, in you
You say all
Heartmill
You will

Soap&Skin - Surrounded

surrounded by a shear
eye getting blear
while I cling
while I bring me down

fireless and fleet
in danger eat

surrounded

desire

surrounded by a shear, I
filled with tears
with mines

Soap&Skin - Lost

Sitting, staring

watching all you leave

behind this

There is nothing

which has so much more to give

I lost

I lost you

You’re putting down the memories

as if a nothing

has something more to give

I lost

I lost you

Who beats the clock for us?

Who was pretending us?

Don’t scoff at us

Still sitting, staring, watching

how love had to live

and no more things to give

I lost

I really lost you

Soap&Skin - Athom

You seeded one seed, my love
Now rampant like cancer grows
And I bow and talk with none again
Head's sinking, eyes down, they found
A stoned body, gliding to the ground

Forlorn too lorn to move
There's so much to do, so much to live
Everything is said
But my love is going mad

It's 3 A.M
Pry out the street
It's too late to be easy
We're beating the cleat
Dried out of heat
Tower me
Over me

Just as you wanted
To avoid it
You already hold it
In your hand

Soap&Skin - Creep

There is no sounds of god to be found on my knees
Where the heart and heat scorching inside of that
Needs, I'm a creep
I plead for misdeed
The bug smells the greatest from afar
Could I only have a sense
I would feel that wings are shining under her shell
And I take the way to the far strawberry bush
And then

I am dropping into your blossoms
Rubbed into a swarm
It's late
It's late, I am going forward
Going backward
Going that constant, legs
No shiver harms him
No colour blinds him
And nothing hurts

Soap&Skin - Safe With Me

This street has closed
For a ride undone
This street has closed
It could be unknown

In the dark, my friend
We'll meet to blend
A truth to lend
For a day to spend
A lovely scent
That once been smelled
That has no end

It's gaping up, midst through us
It's gaping up, midst through us

It's hard to find it
When you're in it
It's hard to find it
When you're into it
The sun, replace it
No safe, nor sound
On a frozen ground

No love can be safe with me
No love can be safe with me
No love can be safe with me
No love can be safe with me

Soap&Skin - Boat Turns Toward The Port

Forward tales to tide
The boat turns toward the port
With fire and mud stained sky
Bright aft time
Bright aft time
My whole burden is laid down
Stay here
Stay here
Stay

Soap&Skin - The Sun

I see the sun
I see the sun
I see the sun
I see the sun

She dawns, she burns
She grows, she feeds
She spews, she dies above us
and builds the shadows
which faces myself
She drives me into the black hole
The door opens there
The skin opens there

Soap&Skin - Cradlesong

I thud on a drum
Barely a span long
The rough barrel-beat
Was my cradlesong

You ask why I keep still
Why I don’t pour it out into the night
You know
You know if it rises and floats
It effaces every piece of light

Foreign what my lips say
Foreign my hair, my dress
Foreign what your eyes ask
About this strangeness

You ask why I keep still
Why I don’t pour it out into the night
You know
You know if it rises and float
It effaces every piece of light

When scream masses on wound
I want to meet you
When the great testimony
From your branches trickles down

Here my soul grows
‘Til it smashes
Above the scene, the balcony

Soap&Skin - Cry Wolf

Needs dying all
Hard night
Feel you tight

Needs
Crop the wire
Cold child

Crop the ire
Dying oh
Grow up at night
Feel you tight
As near as I
Cold child

Needs
Crop the wire
Cold child

Crop the ire
Dying oh
Grow up at night
Feel you tight
As near as I
Cold child

We dry soil, heartmill
Feel you and I high
We die forever

Soap&Skin - Wonder

Why we can't be
or see who cuts us asunder
like a boor felling a tree
you're the thunder
going under
over me

Don't forget to pray
to keep it away
away from every day
where you wonder
why we can't be ...

Soap&Skin - Mr. Gaunt Pt 1000

I fell in love with you
But I know that's just a sky
I don't know where I go
