[Verse 1]

(Yeah-ah-ah, yeah-ah-ah)
(Yeah-ah-ah, yeah-ah-ah)
(Yeah-ah-ah, yeah-ah-ah)
(Yeah-ah-ah, yeah-ah-ah)
(Yeah-ah-ah, yeah-ah-ah)

Oh the river oh the river it's running free,
Oh the joy oh the joy it brings to me,
But I know it'll have to drown me,
Before I can breathe easy,
And I've seen it in the flights of birds,
I've seen it in you,
And the entrails of the animals in the blood running through,
But in order to get to the heart,
It takes some time you have to cut through.
(We can, I know you can...)

[Chorus]

Just keep following the heartlines on your head,
Just keep following the heatlines on your head,...

[Verse 1]

All a lone it was always there you see,
And even on my own it was always standing next to me,
I can see if coming from the edge of the room,
Creeping in the street light,
Holding my hand in the pail gloom,
Can you see it coming now?

[Chorus]

Oh-oh-oh-oh,
I think I'm breaking down again,
Oh-oh-oh-oh,
I think I'm breaking down.

[Verse 2]

All a lone even when I was child,
I've always known there was something to be frightened of,
And I can see it coming from the edge of the room,
Creeping in the street light,
Holding my hand in the pail gloom,
Can you see it coming now?

[Chorus Repeat]

[Verse 3]

All a lone on the edge of sleep,
My old familiar friend comes a lies down next to me,
And I can see if coming from the edge of the room,
Smiling in the street light,
Even with my eyes shut tight,
I still it coming now.

[Chorus Repeat] (X2)

[Verse 1]

And I had a dream about my old school,
And she was there all pink and gold and glittering,
I threw my arms around her legs,
Came to weeping (Came to weeping),
Came to weeping (Came to weeping),
And I heard your voice as clear as day,
And you told me I should concentrate,
It was oh so strange,
And so surreal that a ghost should be so practical,
Only if for a night.

[Chorus]

And the only solution was to stand and fight,
And my body was loosing all the satellite,
But you came over me like some holy life,
And I know how this works you're the only light,
Only if for a night.

[Verse 2]

And the grass was...

Remember those walls I built
Well, baby they're tumbling down
They didn't even put up a fight
They didn't even make a sound

I found a way to let you in
But I never really had a doubt
Standing in the light of your halo
I got my angel now

It's like I've been awakened
Every rule I had you breakin'
It's the risk that I'm takin'
I ain't never gonna shut you out

Everywhere I'm looking now
I'm surrounded by your embrace
Baby I can see your halo
You know you're my saving grace

You're everything I need and more
It's written all over your face
Standing in the light of your halo
Pray it won't fade away

Halo
Halo
Halo
Halo

Happiness hit her like a train on a track
Coming towards her stuck still no turning back
She hid around corners and she hid under beds
She killed it with kisses and from it she fled
With every bubble she sank with her drink
And washed it away down the kitchen sink

The dog days are over
The dog days are done
The horses are coming
So you better run

Run fast for your mother, run fast for your father
Run for your children, for your sisters and brothers
Leave all your loving, your loving behind
You cant carry it with you if you want to survive

The dog days are over
The dog days are done
Can you hear the horses?...

Seems that I have been held in some dreaming state
A tourist in the waking world, never quite awake
No kiss, no gentle word could wake me from this slumber
Until I realized that it was you who held me under

Felt it in my fist, in my feet, in the hollows of my eyelids
Shaking through my skull, through my spine and down through my ribs

No more dreaming of the dead as if death itself was undone
No more calling like a crow for a boy, for a body in the garden
No more dreaming like a girl so in love, so in love
No more dreaming like a girl so in love, so in love
No more dreaming like a girl so in love with...

Are you hurting the one you love?
You say you've found Heaven but you can't find God.
Are you hurting the one you love?
Bite your tongue till it tastes like blood.

Are you hurting the one you love?
So many glasses on the tabletop.
Are you hurting the one you love?
You'd like to stay in heaven but the rules are too tough.

Tough,
It's just too tough.
Tough,
It's just too tough.

Are you hurting the one you love?
When they watched the walls, and the ticking clock.
Are you hurting the one you love?
And was it something you could not stop.

Could not stop.
Stop,
Could not stop.
Stop,
Could not stop.
Stop,
Could not stop.
Stop,
Could not stop.

Are you hurting the one you love?
When you leave them sleeping on the hollow ground.
Are you hurting the one you love?
And lost for themselves.

Are you hurting the one you love?
And if heaven knows then who will stop.
Are you hurting the one you love?
You said you got to heaven, but it wasn't enough.

[Verse 1]

Holy water cannot help me now,
A thousand armies couldn't keep me out,
I don't want your money,
I don't want your crowd,
See I have to tell you,
You're a ...
Holy water cannot help you now,
See I've had to burn your kingdom down,
And no rivers and no lakes can put the fire out,
I'm gonna raise the stakes,
I'm gonna smoke you out.

[Chorus]

Seven devils all around you,
Seven devils in my house,
See they were there when I woke up this morning,
I'll be dead before the day is done,
Seven devils all around you,
Seven devils in your house,
See I was dead when I woke up this morning,
I'll be dead before the...

[Verse 1]

I've been loosing sleep,
I've been keeping myself awake,
I've been wondering the streets: for days and days and days,
Going from road to road,
Bed to bed,
Lover to lover and black to red,
And I believe I believe.

[Chorus]

There's no salvation for me now,
No space amongst the clouds,
And I feel I'm heading down,
That's all right,
That's all right,
That's all right,
That's all ri-i-i-i-i-i-ght.

[Verse 2]

And I've been taking chances,
I've been setting myself up for the fall,
And I've been keeping secrets from my heart and from my soul,
Going from road to road,
Bed do bed,
Lover to lover and black to red,
But I believe I believe.

[Chorus Repeat]

[Verse 3]

Road to road,
Bed to bed,
Lover to lover and black to red,
Road to road,
Bed to bed,
Lover to lov-er-er-er.

[Chorus Repeat]

[Verse 4]

You got a road to road,
Bed to bed,
Lover to lover and black to red,
Road to road,
Bed to bed,
Lover to lover, (X8)
No salvation for me now, (X4)
Oh-oh-oh-oh.
Your songs remind me of swimming,
Which I forgot when I started to sink
Drank further away from the shore,
And deeper into the drink

Sat on the bottom of the ocean,
A stern and stubborn rock
Cos your songs remind me of swimming,
But somehow I forgot

I was sinking, now I'm sunk
And I was drinking, now I'm drunk
I was sinking, now I'm sunk,
And I was drinking, now I'm drunk

I tried to remember the chorus,
I can't remember the verse
Cos that song that sent me swimming,
Is now the life jacket that burst

Rotting like a wreck on the ocean floor,
Sinking like a siren that can't swim no more
Your songs remind me of...

My boy builds coffins with hammers and nails
He doesn't build ships, he has no use for sails
He doesn't make tables, dresses or chairs
He can't carve a whistle cause he just doesn't care

My boy builds coffins for the rich and the poor
Kings and queens them all knocked on his door
Beggars and liars, gypsies and thieves
They all come to him 'cause he's so eager to please

My boy builds coffins he makes them all day
But it's not just for work and it isn't for play
He's made one for himself
One for me too
One of these days he'll make one for you

My boy builds coffins for better or worse
Some say it's a blessing,...
