Gravity 03:44
Your gravity Holds me tighter Than a flashing screen Without you I'd drift away Dreaming flights of fancy And lonely dancing Well those airheads gonna hate But I don't give a damn about what they say I'll give you 9.8 If you keep holding me Please believe Without you I'd burn up in the atmosphere Flying's fine but it's the earth I need Not some air I can't breathe Please believe Without you I'd burn up in the atmosphere Flying's fine but it's the earth I need Not some airhead, who wants to fly I don't give a damn about what they say I'll give you 9.8 If you'll keep holding me

I sit here waiting Till darkness falls And the moonlight Reveals my faults But hear my plea Please, wait for me I'm on my way A road through space I won’t stop searching The sea of black I’ll note our movements In parallax Let me be Free of gravity I’m on my way A road through space. Somewhere there's beauty Beyond the stars Deep in the darkness From where you are So shine a light And show the way Paint a map A road through space

Charlie 03:10
Listen up close and I'll sing you the song Of the boy who fell through time The boy who lost himself in the mirror every night Truth lies In between What they say And what they mean Listen up close and I'll sing you the song Of the girl who loved a stone The girl who couldn't fall asleep alone Truth lies In between What they say And what they mean Now sing along It's not too late To start off new Don't make the same mistakes Listen up close and I'll sing you the song Of the boy who slept like the dead The boy with bad dreams he couldn't get out of his head Truth lies In between What they say And what they mean Listen up close and I'll sing you the song Of the girl who walked through walls The girl who dressed herself and set off on her own Truth lies In between What they say And what they mean

Toi, tu t'es moqué de moi Mais quand meme tu me manque L'amour embattant, embrouilée Au point d'avale un pistolet Mais no, ne t'inquiète jamais ne t'embête de rien Il suffusait de t'aimer bien Je traine la memoire en bas de l'escalier En cherchant d'un valet fort Les valises sont trop pour mon effort Eh bien, c'est clair Tu m'as laissé a l'enfer Mais ne t'inquiète madame J'adore les flammes! You made me a fool every day But I miss you anyway Even if this love is stale and sterile A siren's call to taste the barrel No reason to hang your head Loving you kept my heart well-fed I'll drag the memory away in search of a strong valet You know how much this baggage weighs So lets put and end to this spell you left me dangling in hell but never fear I love the heat! Now wait, there's no reason to fret

the same ghost came last night stumbling drunk and spilling wine [] it’s all you know this mumbling voice this spectral choir this ghastly noise this [] the phantom spoke your name last night the exorcist missed your last rites

Damned 03:08
Why do you pay these bills? Why don't you burn 'em up, to ward away the chill? Why not buy yourself a shovel Get started diggin' in Don't pretend these molehills ain't mountains, cuz you're Damned if you do Damned if you don't And if say you can't help You're just blowin' smoke Damned if you do Damned if you don't But it don’t mean much Once you've given up the ghost Why do you hum these songs? Why don't you play along? Why do you close your eyes When the sirens cry And the violence comes along Because you're Damned if you do Damned if you don't If you say you can't help You're just blowin' smoke Damned if you do Damned if you don't But it don’t mean much Once you've given up the ghost

Cold at home Wake up sweating on a winter’s day Half a mind to lay back down And let the world just drift away Hold me close A summertime embrace The sleep won’t last But at least we’ve got this place Yes I know that there’s snow outside But the truth has never warmed me right We’ll wake up soon and look out the window We just need another moment face-to-face So keep me warm Hold the fever dreams at bay We’ll huddle close in nature’s clothes And plan for a brighter day We’ll whisper prayers For killing time While better folks Are struggling with the ice It’s almost time to wake up my dear The snow won’t wait for us to wake Before it melts away. It’s almost time to wake up my dear

Blame it all on Puerto Rico Because god looks down on island towns Yes you know it's true Blame it all on poorer people If they need help they can go to hell Hell you'll help 'em down They did it themselves they did When they let you come in And run the ship So turn your back and sing The god of dollars needs their suffering Blame it all on some kind of evil That you learned when you were young And swallowing The vile things That slipped right off your tongue Blame it all on poorer people If they need help they can go to hell Hell you'll help 'em down Blame it all on other people The stranger's son Who speaks in tongues That you'll never learn Blame it on those outside the steeple The in-betweens in ripped up jeans The godless pipedream people They did it themselves they did When they let you come in And run the ship So turn your back and sing The god of dollars needs our suffering The god of dollars needs our suffering

I was down to St. James infirmary, I saw my baby there She was stretched out on a long white table, So sweet, so cold and so fair Let her go, let her go, God bless her Wherever she may be She can search this whole wide world over She won't ever find another man like me When I die bury me in straight lace shoes a boxback suit and a Stetson hat Put a twenty dollar gold piece on my watch chain so the boys'll know I died standing pat I always hear your ghost in stormy weather the wind wails that I'll always be blue I feel my grin 'a-growin', ain't still stuck here 'neath your thumb I'll be any color I feel like without you I was down to St. James infirmary, I saw my baby there She was stretched out on a long white table, So sweet, so cold and so fair Let her go, let her go, God bless her Wherever she may be Now she can search this whole wide world over She won't ever find another man like me She won't ever find another man like me She won't ever find another man like me
