Sisters On The Edge 04:22
lyrics
buy track
SISTERS ON THE EDGE I was with my sister joining a rock-band, she said 'Hey Bert can you see that bird flying over' never reach the mountain waiting to let you on but I never forget the promise we made within the days of dawn when I stumble foreword, and the old Gods of fire handing over the torch of time 'take care, hey you, half blind' We're all gonna fly, we're all gonna fly Sometimes I wish I wouldn't be aware of all those dreams a naked shadow overrides the tears until I sleep stunned from all the pain, not anyone to blame except me and myself going under, fighting for peace I think I go to Luna, before the sun catches me, creep we can all go crazy but don't have to fall so deep We're all gonna fly, we're all gonna fly etc I keep hear wondering voices million words of silence But I never heard them say 'hey where do we find' all the sisters on the edge fading colours in black cut out all your feelings while they never saw her dance The dance that couldn't be done the dance of a hundred arms the dance it raises, easy up, it goes on and on

SLEEP WITH ME Sleep with me, sleep with me Close my eyes, found her down way dark bring her up where the horses ride where the rainbow water, rainbow water purifies Sleep with me Where I belong is where I stay where I stay..I feel strange when life is reach in misery I'll head for silence so sleep with me Sleep with me I am falling in a shallow heat I will follow my shadow deep in a travelling light, full of energy when life is waking you up and you will sleep with me Sleep with me Close my eyes, found her down way dark bring her up where the horses ride where the rainbow water purifies and ways go free in mind's heavenly and you'll sleep with me Sleep with me

Don’t, don’t take the wrong colour you might not mix with the universe, of the universe Oh yoy, yoy Painting the sun black better come on come on can’t be too bad, sleeping in your bed come on come on painting the sun black…

RUN TO ME Gee, my love is going nowhere Gee, what is real I saw her down by the river She did sing for me Here she comes, in a hurry she can talk to me now the wind knows all about loving all the answers free Let her talk the tongue of rhythm I can dig her beat Yeah her mouth is full of chocolate She loves to eat I can walk around the dessert, in the valley deep there was light, it did sleep girl would you like to see Run, na baby na run oh run to me Gee, love is all around her Do you wanna please Gee, all I’m missing you can turn the wheel Now I find that I was born then too late to steam the flames are going higher then a mountain is it just a dream…run na baby na run oh run to me.

WHO'S COMING UP NEXT Making love is furious ... a wounded beast making love is nothing but a killing field making love, making love is what I fear making love is easy entertaining, voices unclear making love is my favourite waste of time for million years making love, making love is what I fear Oh I, is what I fear making love rules the weather, a storm of lies making love, no shelter for those who cannot hide making love making love oh God I cried Oh I, I cry making love are you serious, better tell a joke making love is laughing curious, digging holes making love, making love is all that must be known Oh I, no no no making love touches all, starts fighting, ends war making love wins battles but loses more making love is all I'm looking for making love is burning, heaven like hell making love is a role you try to be someone else making love, making love oh what a spell With her par-fume and smell, the kissing drug, you may bet, your soft lips and flesh in a warm lustful mortal dress she's a scarf-skin killer, a Devine girl Too light to bare, overwhelming unfair, doesn't she doesn't she ever care, in your sensitive ears, I wanna scream begging for your love temple baby can you tell me dear, what I'm doing here...knuckle under sweaters, meditate the thunder who's coming up next, who's coming up next Oh I yes I....I'm coming up next
