Love Deluxe EP (Unabridged Edition) Lyrics

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
