lyrics

and i know that when you fall in love
you will never think its good enough
and i know what you say youre above
is the very thing youre dreaming of

would you throw yourself into the sea
rather than consent to look at me
in a way i guess
you would answer yes
it is not too hard
to see

and i will know by the sound of the rolling thunder
is this what im trying to say i wonder i am
swimming in the tide that would pull me under
swimming in the tide that would pull me under
cause im not the kind of boy who you mold in plaster
not the kind of boy everybodys after but i
could be going to hell much faster
could be going to hell much faster
could be going to hell

tell me why oh why do you insist
that it ever had to come to this
tell me all the things that i have missed
all the lips that i have never kissed

tell me how can it be true
that you know not what you do

and i am wise to the ways of the fallen angel
ready for the smile that is not in danger i am
waiting for a friend not a friendly stranger
waiting for a friend not a friendly stranger
and i know by the sound of my conscience clearing
is this what im trying to say youre hearing
and i dont give a damn if there are people staring
dont give a damn if there are people staring

cause im not the kind of boy who you mold in plaster
not the kind of boy everybodys after but i
could be going to hell much faster
could be going to hell much faster
could be going to hell

Full and rich, with great musical creativity and a unique blend of nostalgic and exploratory flavors. Our favorite thing about it is simpler though: It shines with love. You just can't say no to that. FirebirdSweet
