Never

Never

Pensive cinematic trip hop fuels this interior dialogue of betrayal and abandonment. Is this a rumor of an illicit affair, a clandestine meeting, an incidence of espionage, or an invention of her panicking imagination?

• Lyrics

  is that you?
  I know we said, let’s take this somewhere else, instead,
  is that you?
  I thought I heard but can’t remember,
  maybe missing, maybe later
  is that you?

  I know we said, let’s take this somewhere else, instead,
  is that you?
  I thought I heard but can’t remember,
  maybe missing, maybe later
  is that you?

  ta ta ta ta ta ta
  talk to me, say you never
  ta ta ta ta ta ta
  talk to me, say we never, never …

  is that you?
  where is the key, I left another in my sweater,
  is that you?
  I thought I knew your name, I called
  you didn’t, ever answer
  is that you?

  I know we said, let’s make this one time even better,
  is that you?
  I heard this sound but that’s real long that I can’t remember,
  is that you?
  maybe lost it, losing us together
  is that you?

  ta ta ta ta ta ta
  talk to me, say you never
  ta ta ta ta ta ta
  talk to me, say we never, never …

Wild Skies

Wild Skies

• Lyrics

  There was that awkward pause in her parting phrase,
  going down this road before the world was paved.
  That silent ah--awards an early grave,
  is our bridge too far for those we want to, save

  When all the time was just another shifting load,
  on the shoulders of three brothers down the road.
  All hesitating and unevenness displayed,
  on the bridge too far for those we want to, save away

  Ohh, the wild skies are not safe shelter in the storm
  But their beauty is a fury we all know
  Down from heaven, into heaven we all go,
  from these fields of dust and clay where we were grown.

  When your sister, or some mother sits alone
  In a cell made out of cardboard for a home
  In a nest of all the troubles she can claim
  the bridge too far for those who won’t be saved

  Ohh, the wild skies are not safe shelter in the storm
  But their beauty is a fury we all know
  Down from heaven, into heaven we all go,
  from these fields of dust and clay where we were grown.

  Ohh, the wild skies are not safe shelter in the storm
  But their beauty is a fury we all know
  Down from heaven, into heaven we all go,
  from these fields of dust and clay where we were grown

• Lyrics

  This small man goes bumpin' to the top
  where the sad man sits shattered and lost
  There were two men in the ring for a night
  Neither man had a stomach for the fight

  This blonde chick goes bendin’ for some cash
  where tha blue girl’s slippin’ roofies down the hatch
  both women with a leper’s luck to lose
  skippin’, flippin’ in some shiny shiny shoes

  When one turns on the other turns on the other turns
  When one takes a swing, takes a drink, takes another never learns
  When one turns on the other turns on the other turns
  When one takes a swing, takes a drink, takes another never learns

  Two kids wearing daddy’s pistol just for fun
  Swipen’ comics, Shootin’ bottles, Chewin’ gum
  One trips, loses balance, on the curb
  Nails the other, in the silence, not a word

  Two men, cutting corners, carved in steel
  Shaking hands, behind our backs, cementing deals
  Both, tongue waggers wielding armies, might and fire
  Set a scene, where no one will escape the voltage in the wire

  When one turns on the other turns on the other turns
  When one takes a swing, takes a drink, takes another never learns
  When one turns on the other turns on the other turns
  When one takes a swing, takes a shot, takes another never learns

• Lyrics

  burst through the door
  all welcome smiles
  across the floor
  and in the aisles
  the circle spinning
  on the dial

  and wrap your arms
  around another
  meet his eyes now
  greet another
  the circle spinning
  on the dial

  Here comes the priestess on her drum
  Here comes the child
  Here comes the Sun
  Here comes the one who spins the wheel
  Here comes the dancing lover's reel

  now watch them soar
  all blissful smiles
  rise off the floor
  leap from the aisles
  the circle spinning
  on the dial

  and wrap your arms
  around another
  meet her eyes now
  be the other
  the circle spinning
  on the dial

  Here comes the priestess on her drum
  Here comes the child
  Here comes the Sun
  Here comes the one who spins the wheel
  Here comes the dancing lover's reel
