Magic That Talks

Afternoons won't hang around
Always scared that some ragged heart may pound
Call it cursed, call it empty threats
You've been out on a limb and I've been caught in your net
Talked to death, the old runaround's
Got his mind set on a pill that can't go down
Satin knives lend you a hand
Trying so hard to cut up those who don't understand
Magic talks
And it won't shut up until
You relent, you cave in
Some old kind of halfhearted smile
You say you want to exchange, exchange, exchange
You say you want to have fun, have fun, have fun
You say you want to run away
To some forgotten place
Day to day some sycophant
Talks way too much for me to hold his hand
Crowded rooms split his heart in two
It's just the cost of being someone like you
Chasing an echo can make you throw stones
Wind up regretting and living alone
Magic talks
And it won't shut up until
You relent, you cave in
Some old kind of halfhearted smile
You say you want to exchange, exchange, exchange
You say you want to have fun, have fun, have fun
You say you want to run away
To some forgotten place

Arcane Romance

Cute boys don't wake up crying
They just get on with their day
They don't have to ask us questions
About things they should not say
They just sit there looking pretty
They don't have to beg or fight
For an ounce of my attention
Drink it down with me tonight
Sitting cat-eyed on a lawn chair
Never dares to make a noise
Always silently appreciative
Of the pitter patting toys
Don't you love it when they walk up
All confused and locked on tight
Heavy breaths they breathe, you kill their
Arcane Romance out of sight
But if I could wait for some heartbreaking leisure
You would have me caged, dead to rights, it wouldn't take too long
I've always been a bore, too uninterested in what the modern world
Considers dignified and so refined
Cute boys don't have to follow
They'll just gladly move ahead
Overconfident, shines brightly
Choppy waters dare not tread
And you think you start to have them
When you couldn't be more wrong
Every scratch and kick, they whisper
They won't be here for too long

Drops of Blue

Drops of blue, Sunday cracks
Pavement waits, strapped on back
Some little cut up kid in red
Push you off roller skates
Step right down, there's no time to cooperate
And give the people what they want
Stop right there, don't you say
That you'll save for a rainy day
If I could, I would pull you down
And you'd flail around some, it's pound for pound
Step right up, make my day
Find out how we have our say
Though they try to crush and prosper
Chancellor, find out why
The way I run, I touch the limit, go so high
It wouldn't too hard if you would try to understand
Stop right there, don't you say
That you'll save for a rainy day
If I could, I would pull you down
And you'd flail around some, it's pound for pound
Drops of blue
Drops of blue
Drops of blue
Drops of blue

I could do this in my sleep
It's all I ever do in my sleep
Waking up, new man
In my haze I might forget to eat
And when it's that time again
Familiar feelings start to creep
For a taste, for a glance
Of his pure attitude
I can't stand how you walk
You know you're really pretty rude
Feeling messed up, bound to fuck up
Something so really, absolutely pretty cool
There's no Saturday night
There's no more meet me at the pool
Waking up, new man
Piercing glares could put me right to sleep
And when it's that time again
Familiar feelings start to creep
Waking up, new man
In my haze I might forget to eat
And when it's that time again
Familiar feelings start to creep

Don't Make Me Beg

Just walk away, and don't say bye
He's here to stay, let your anger subside
What you asked for, well it hardly tore me
It turned the page on this lover's story
So don't ask questions or get down and beg
The future is waiting to bite off your head
I'll tell you when it's safe to come out and fight
Till' then don't say why, why, why, don't ask me why
I laughed it off, well I bashed my head in
And what we saw, it was nothing but dead ends
It scared you so, well it made me uneasy
One final walk through the sunny and breezy
I wanted to hear you just call out my name
I want you to tell me I'm not going insane
I know I'm a nice catch for eyes so divine
So please tell me why, why, why am I not on your mind
