Sentimental Education

Pour in the wine, loosen the fast
Gnawing your future, knowing your past
Push out the light, celebrate
Welcome the twilight, welcome your fate
Come wake all the world
Pour in the smoke, merriment
The longer the daylight, the longer we sing
Of magical alms, riders in black
Wondrous creatures all around
It feels like the end of the world

Ghost Wail
03:15
|

|
There's a light in the distance
A grey scale ahead
Nine vacant crosses, come on
There is nothing behind us
Nothing you hear
Tell me of your troubles, come on
No way you silly man
No way you're being honest with me
No ghosts are wailing here, come off it
She was for the taking
With skin so plain
We planned for fall, to wed
Her father worked the late nights
Mother used to cry
“Get a fucking husband, or a job”
No way you silly man
No way you must be lying to me
No way you clever man
No ones around so take me
Don't stand there doing nothing
You are the life I've waited for
I saw it happening
No hope tomorrow, wine for today

Behavior
04:01

I want heaven but I wont stop
If I drink all the blood in the cup would that be not enough
I've been hellacious but I wont stop
It's a celebratory affair of animal behavior
Yeah I've been bad in the dark matinee
With the wine and I'm sick with meat I'm not the good doctor of Paris
Yeah I've been bad, I saw her bathing there
I took now I got this guilt but I settle up
Feast thine eyes on thy neighbors wife
I want money and I won't stop
I want love but I don't want the bills would you not agree with me
And I'm owed a living and I won't stop
All the love in the world won't renew animal behavior
I'll never have to settle with my currency man
Never have to square up with the lady in black
Will heaven be all boarded up with gold when I come
I will want to be let in

Peasant
Lay me down in all your straw
A savior's birth I will call it
Just don't keep me from the light
I won't even try to believe
Still I know you'll come for me
I'm not feeling well
And I'm not making sense
You feel I'm a little guilty
With all this blood in my mouth
Peasant
Did you ever feel a cursed man?
A little threatened in your fathers hands?
Or is it all bleak and hazy now?
I'll nail you back to that tree
Today you will be released
If I'm not shining then I shall be released
Release

The Devil
03:26

Morning fall down, dark sheets of grey
Sleeping people, no one hears
You'll feel the weight of it all
and you're still the one I will call on
It's the loneliest place

Coming On A Black Day
03:35

I saw them coming on a black day
I saw them licking their lips just through the window at you
I saw them watching
I saw them waiting around, I hate it too
Danger to you my love
When something wicked this way comes
I saw them coming on a dark day
The rain it lashed at your skin, love I confess it was then
I felt a stillness
I saw them floating to you
I knew your friends they would come to you
I feel your desperation
I hear your need to belie
You are the sun in here, I won't lie
Danger to you my love
All I can think about is you

Oh baby sister how they shut me away
I read your letters only once in a day
Father revival keeps my head in the black
I found a razor I'll use for something heavy
Jesus the beggar beckoning from the mud
Join the revival, come on out in the cold
I don't need forgiveness, no borrowed clothes
But I'm needing something to feed the monster
I want it all in that animal way and they call me on megaphone, “give up”
You and I in this private booth, unlit and I've paid so you should go on
Jesus the beggar come and kick me
Hey stranger feasting come and kick me
Carrying a bible, I don't need it
I am a beggar in classical throes
Do you love me?

Any Joan A Lady
05:01
|
|||
|
Shall I paint the night or take me a bride?
Sold away like wine from a room where lovers fight
You never remember how, you never remember when
But its you that comes like a flower in the rain
I hear my love coming down
And I know her heads to the ground
And I know she knocks for me cause
I can make any joan a lady
The last I remember was the morn' of my birth
I peeled back the edges and I screamed what a world
And so it goes her dark silhouette
Striking the tip of my cigarette
She says that she loves me but I can't agree
That I can make any joan a lady

Parade
04:36
|

|
We gather by the river along a crowded bank
Usher in the street performers from the holding tank
And criminals are lurking just beyond the square
They all just want your sweet perfume, to touch your golden hair
And of all these people I'm as desperate as I seem
And of all these people you know I love you babe
We'll follow you through hell, follow without hope
We all just want your happiness, its all that we can hold
But not me, I don't believe you won't kill me when I give you everything that you want.
And of all these people I'm as desperate as I seem
And of all these people you know I love you babe
Oh you know you are a foreign heathen feast
You know I am the praying sisters knees
Now captured by the cruelest need
Now captured by the cruelest need for you heavy,
all I was never made aware of
Oh you are something that there will never be another of
We gather by the river along a crowded bank
We all just want your happiness its only our fate
You know that I could love you always

Untitled / Dark Divider
04:03
|
|||
|
Everything is as it should be
Houses and their ladies inseams
Dreary and the dark through the fog
Am I the dark divider of seas
I don't wanna hurry your faith
But love you have the sweetest frame
And all your promises of grace, no
Joy is pouring over like wine
All parts of you more lovely than night
But my body is a prisoners cage, no
Am I the dark divider of seas
If we make this happen
The sea comes alive, the way it shines by the sea of lights
Assume the shape of violence baby
And I saw all were having the time of their lives for years
