Love Deluxe EP (Unabridged Edition)

The sun is up And we're still here Life drags on No music here Your house is just a little cliché The Faustian decor With room to spare And the sunbursts Within your hair Your life is just a little risqué And it gets a little And it gets a little better Just a little bit better The hem is up And the dress is down I'll dress you up And I'll dress you down In this wasteland of intellect You kick like a mule While I soften you up And you echo yourself While we start from the top Dead men can't drive, but they can sure as hell try And it gets a little And it gets a little better Just a little bit better And everything is silent Now the final throes are done We smoking final cigarettes Before you'll up and run I know that you were never here There's no ashes in the tray But if you never came How come you're still going away There's a road less travelled That we've never gone Where the streets are unpaved And the lights are always on And on that twisted road you'll see All roads lead back to you, to you and me I'd give you the stars today If they were mine to give away I'd give you the world to stay But I need to know where you are and if you're OK In an empty past You were forced to last Now you're nervous about the service And the glances that were cast There were sweet goodbyes under wretched skies We were running four miles from your fears and my lies I'd give you the stars today If they were mine to give away I'd give you the world to stay But I need to know where you are and if you're OK Come on baby, come to me Come on baby, walk with me Come on baby, stay with me Come on baby, walk with me I'd give you the stars today If they were mine to give away I'd give you the world to stay But I need to know where you are and if you're OK I'd give you the stars today If they were mine to give away I'd give you the world to stay But I need to know where you are and if you're OK Are you lonely Do you think about someone Do you tremble at night Are you cold Or are you perfectly content Or too high to care There's a lighthouse in the desert Where we used to meet We would go there When the world was still new We were godless and free Under cover of light Under cover of light There's a devil hiding inside each man And he wants the song and dance But when I'm knee deep in excuses She makes me go So slow I can taste the stillness in the air What's a girl, but a mistress and a maid A servile leader in pink We are well met And ill-mannered just the same The harbour lights are fading fast away Under cover of light Under cover of light You run off anywhere Towards better things than this In the dead of night I tried so hard not to confuse you You run off anywhere I'll take care of you under the bed In the dead of night I tried so hard not to abuse you But you are my home A warm welcome For the cold and the unknown You are my home Who's gonna take care of you Now that the world has closed And at the lighthouse in the desert you were Hiding out from the sun On the wrong side of midnight you were A fading echo of yourself Amidst the serpents here Amidst the serpents here And in my restless nights You are my sound of light
