So much politics
With touching skin
Strange flavours of a foreign bed
Have left me wanting more to sin
I won't leave empty
Handed tonight
Words won't fall on
Empty ears too
No more melancholy soliloquies
Giving everything you got too
I need to know
I need to know
I need to know who you are
And I don't care
If you don't call me back
And I don't care
If there’s lipstick on your cigarette
And I don't care
Cos I got what I came to get
I won't leave empty
Handed tonight
Words won't fall on
Empty ears too
No more melancholy soliloquies
Giving everything you got too
I need to know
I need to know
I need to know who you are

Gold Asylum
06:02
|

|
So thought I’d come and meet you
since you called to me by name
come drown in your sunlight
old glittering and insane
It’s no secret there’s something about you
your fire, your fame
billboards, starred sidewalks
cruel citizens drain
Lately I
bought a ticket to your gold asylum
lately I
yeah to your gold asylum
I can’t help but tune into
your sweet silent static station
your melody enchants me
hypnotic mind elation
You I could spend entire lifetimes
analysing every word you said
so take me in this darkness
where saints fear to tread
Lately I
bought a ticket to your gold asylum
lately I
yeah to your gold asylum
So at night I walk your streets
it’s like walking through your veins
and the smoke licks its tongue around me
you see now that I've got the taste
now that I've got the taste
I wanna sink my teeth in
sink them in
I wanna see what colour it makes
Lately I
bought a ticket to your gold asylum
lately I
yeah to your gold asylum

Match in a Hurricane
03:39
|
|||
|
Something new
Is bursting in you
Like a strange new language unheard
Have you come
To bury the hatchet
Or the ghosts that you've exhumed
This time it’s gone too far
This time it’s gone too far
So I held out my hope
Like a match in a hurricane
No need for applause
From those in the pity parade
You’re the ink
From which these words will flow
Yours, the voice
Which I can no longer know
Can you hear
The court of fools that call to you
To be their king
Wear their pathetic crown
This time it’s gone too far
This time it’s gone too far
So I held out my hope
Like a match in a hurricane
No need for applause
From those in the pity parade
Now listen
To this
It’s a message
For your conscience
So I held out my hope
Like a match in a hurricane
How was I supposed to know
You burn with the brightest flame

Echo the Mantra
03:47
|
|||
|
Faith and desire
head to head
in the sweating streets
Look out
across the faces
our hearts are now in reach
Echo the mantra
which we know lies beneath
With words I’m inclined
to look inside and reach
So I choose to
call to you by name
Sparks hidden under cover
now seem to show
show no shame
Steam on the asphalt
crows circling the sky
sucking like a leech on
the drug that gets you high
So I choose to
call to you by name
Sparks hidden under cover
now seem to show
show no shame
Lyrics by
Julian van der Krogt

Elegance in Subtlety
03:58
|
|||
|
Is it too late
to recoil my full reaction
The dusty echo’s
slowing tempting me
No elegancy
in your subtlety
part your seas please
present yourself to me
Desire
inside her
puts it all at risk
I wanna throw back
every stinging word
and kiss
I've got a taste
for another nights transaction
and I'll take your lips
if they're still on offer to me
No elegancy
in your subtlety
part your seas please
present yourself to me
Desire
inside her
puts it all at risk
I wanna throw back
every stinging word
and kiss
Lost in a sea of ugly practicality
she surpasses the starlight
with astonishing accuracy
sealing your fate for all these eyes to see

Julian van der Krogt
