Dirty Mind 03:53
Casanova cash-in-hand gets caught up in the courtyard sweeps These are days it does not pay to wonder where the madam sleeps The good ones worth their weight in gold and twice as hard to find But cancelled checks and lousy sex will leave a body blind oh, Lord relieve me of my sins but leave my dirty mind The boys in blue have come and gone, as stands have issued no arrests They have spoke of bigger fish, the priests wear chains around their necks The cost of doing business now is measured out in time And even simple sodomy will soon become a crime Oh, Lord relieve me of my sins, but leave my dirty mind Almost-Always-Alice has to beg her man for just the taste Leads her to the palace but he rarely gets her past the gates Lakes that used to rage with fire have nothing left to mine Sweaty palms and strung long, then he turns on a dime Oh, lord relieve me of my sins but leave my dirty mind The creepers in the courtyard cast a shadow on the iron wall Nothing grows but fences here and cancer-causing chemicals Dogs will howl at ghosts and chains and then turn around and whine While I will spend my sweaty nights divining over signs Oh, Lord relieve me, Lord relieve me, Lord relieve me of my sins but leave my dirty mind Oh, Lord relieve me of my sins, but leave my dirty mind.

S.O.S. 04:51
You were tapping on the wire, trying hard to get inspired and unaware That though you cannot see the stars when you're caught standing in the storm well, they're still there There was math to figure out, you were swimming in a drought it made no sense And you want you want you need you want you hope you want you want You're feeling tense Oh! S.O.S. Save our souls S.O.S. In a sea of storm and urge you would binge until you'd purge and then repeat You who had a direct line to god and found him twenty clicks above the Baltic Sea You were sick and out of sorts following ships from port to port releasing doves And you love you love you love you love you love you love You hate how much you love Oh! S.O.S. Save our souls S.O.S Well your ship was going down so you sent the signal out and now you wait But there is no island now in the who and what and how of what we create S.O.S. Save our souls S.O.S.

Summer brought the best of it Lips as red as phosphorous and mine like flint By five o'clock we'd be safely lit The season came and went so quickly and left me feeling raw and sickly the bloom was off the rose and I thought What a lonely thing to have to do But I'm not in love with you I'm not in love with you You wear your bruises like a uniform And it will all amount to nothing more I never worry, I just sit and sing about I saw the value and half the truth But I'm not in love with you I'm not in love with you Many times a night He wanders through the hallway Looking for a light Walking into doorways it never did feel right He never tries to hide it or wonders where the light is And I'm not in love with you I'm not in love with you

We had a dancing party All night, alright, we were out on the streets Shouting "no guts, no glory" damn straight, it was late and we were moving our feet And we were Angels darling Dancing on the head of a pin yeah you can lock all your windows But danger has a way of getting in We found a vacant building Red brick, so quick, we had shimmied inside We spent the morning plotting all piss and pith, we were feeling alive and we were angels darling Dancing on the head of a pin yeah there's a wolf at the doorway I feel it like a breath on the skin yeah you can lock all your windows But danger has a way of getting in We heard the sirens calling hearts stop, its the cops, and they're shouting abuse Didn't wait to hear the warning through a grate we escaped and were back on the loose And we were angels darling Dancing on the head of a pin yeah you can lock all your windows But danger has a way of getting in you get to keep all the pieces But nothing's beyond breaking in the end

Polish Gold 04:11
Don't draw those lines around me I know just where you are I see you when I'm sleeping Feel you in the dark And if you had no body It wouldn't matter much When you lay down beside me My hair would still stand up Don't put such faith in talking Some words mean more unsaid Don't worry where you're walking you'll get there in the end And if you had no voice I'd still know what you mean And if you walked forever You'd still end up with me Don't pin your hopes on answers They never satisfy Rely on intuition Those goosebumps never lie And if you had no eyes I still could see your soul Even without my vision You shine like Polish gold
