South

They are running me south
And I know it's coming
I've a parallel life
Up close to the sun

They are running me south
And the tide might be rising
But I've history there
And it can't be undone

Leviathan, please
Can you hear me coming?
Let's settle this now
I'll abide by your laws

Leviathan, please
Can you hear the air rushing
Right out of my lungs?
I'm a slave to your charms

There are too many paths
I can see myself walking
Give me a reason
Not to tread in between

There are too many paths
Can't you see that I'm drowning?
Hold back your river
Please hold back your sea

Hold back your river
Please hold back your sea.

Brilliant wordsmithing, yes? Yes. It gets better.

Funny Olde World

Hey there, Demon.
I hear you had a Revelation
That it's out of your hands
Whether or not we deny our own salvation.

And I don't blame you
For being torn, on either side
And it's not all bad
Beneath the vanity and pride

And you don't tempt us
We forge our own paths, our own ways
And you can't possibly hurt us
Worse than the ways we hurt ourselves, each day

Well, hey there, Demon
Now The End is growing near
So squeeze me tight in your mortal coil
[And milk away my fear]

It's a Funny Olde World
What can you say?
It's a Funny Olde World
Whatever comes your way
It's a Funny Olde World
Said you better repent
I think I'll take my chances, with that Serpent.

You wear the mask of evil
But it's falling apart
It would seem you're just a snake
With an angel's heart

It's a Funny Olde World
Don't believe what you see
It's a Funny Olde World
So take the fruit from the tree
It's a Funny Olde World
I really want you to be
The devil put aside for me.

And the medicines taste like poison
And our poisons taste so sweet
Maybe we're all just angels on the inside
Or do our demons run much too deep?

It's a Funny Olde World
Don't believe what you see
It's a Funny Olde World
So take the fruit from the tree
It's a Funny Olde World
I really want you to be
The devil put aside for me.

It's a Funny Olde World
What can you say?
It's a Funny Olde World
Whatever comes your way
It's a Funny Olde World
Said you better repent
I think I'll take my chances, with that Serpent.

It's a Funny Olde World
What can you say?
It's a Funny Olde World
Whatever comes your way
It's a Funny Olde World
So you better repent
I think I'll take my chances, with that Serpent.

See what I'm saying? Yeah. You see. But you need to Hear. You need to hear the swamp-carnivale-cabaret vibe, going on, here. That sound like "Bloodletting," Tom Waits, and a Feral Alan Cumming met each other in the deep dark woods that had reclaimed a downtown alley, and couldn't decide whether to fuck or fight or blood sacrifice to each other.

You should've bought the single, then you could hear all kinds of awesome things.

Now you'll just have to wait.

Steve, Donna, If I misheard or got my line breaks wrong on "Funny Olde World," please let me know, and I'll fix them.

Thanks, again, for letting me post these.
