Rogue

Smile, shape it, look sincere
Countdown to the flash
Pictures don't lie
Lie back, relax, think of mother
Think of a love or another
Locate these weights
Lest they smother you
Or break you in two

Rask, a child who's insecure
Prop him on stage
Don't let him fall
Falling, calling, run for cover
Go hide inside, find your lover
Subtract the act
We'll uncover you
And all you've been through

Move to shatter all accord
Find the code
Flow and carry on
On fire, on trial, oh no making
We've got a shot
No retaking
Naking in sleep or in waking

Waking up with your shoes on
Do you know where you are?
No time to piece it together
Just find your keys and your coat
Get yourself back in the car
You can't ignore how it played you
It's so easy to score
Still the child is lonely
Counted the pieces and that's all he's always counting more

Dressy down in the midnight
Gripping sin by its throat
Shedding mores as she's skin
Soulful sorrows in the dark
Like playing shadows
Whispering lies at the fences
Muzzling reason from all
We want to crawl to the borders
Rebuild the prisons
Set the scales and break the chains they bind

Enter a clumsy holiday high
Harbor loving with the hyperloid
Oh boy, there's a role to play

And as a charming caterpillarShe goes down
Yet there's a role to play
And since the show's a hit
It seems that we

Been playing it every day
And thank you all again

Still this morning's fortune straining on the toilet with a hangover
Barely up for hours in your head
Cursing your third evening and the pain killers raging
Warm and raging in your head
Painting on a lipstick grin of Saturday
Cattle bus surrender to the light
Slipped between the clothes of personnel
Fencing morning judge and victim of the night

See you stop at the crash
The ride of the wave
Into the dream
The dream of the dream
Is another lullaby

Counting back the time
Nineteen nine
Nineteen eight

Gone
Gone
Gone Am I banished from the bell
Left here to face the night alone
Or is this sentence but to fear alone
To wake and sleep from dawn to dusk in twilight zone
Yeah they're sailing in the black

Cry
I feel I'm judged, I feel I'm drained
I hear the angels sing, the choir string
The jury's in, the shepherd left me shackled and chained
Oh yes I can't deny the weight
And so the final shovel's come
Our slimmest path the broadest way
Now shall I cry to bow for this my day
Or waste my life from out the days today
To print the coded list and draw the curtain on this morality play

On an open road
Neither here nor there
See we shuffle along
Under endless sky
On the buried dead
Idly whistling our song

In the caravan
I'm a sham and I
Make to flee from the way
Every memory
Scar and fantasy
Leads me back should I stray
And on and on
Stepping in time
This one's for England now
Smile shepherd
