Thirty-Three

 


Thrity-Three (4:10)


speak to me in a language i can hear
humor me before i have to go
deep in thought i forgive everyone
as the cluttered streets greet me once again
i know i can't be late
supper's waiting on the table
tomorrow's just an excuse away
so i pull my collar up and face the cold, on my own

the earth laughs beneath my heavy feet
at the blasphemy in my old jangly walk
steeple guide me to my heart and home
the sun is out and up and down again
i know i'll make it, love can last forever
graceful swans of never topple to the earth
and you, can make it last, forever you
can make it last, forever you, can make it last
and for a moment i lose myself
wrapped up in the pleasures of the world
i've journeyed here and there and back again
but in the same old haunts i still find my friends
mysteries not ready to reveal
sympathies i'm ready to return
i'll make the effort, love can last forever
graceful swans of never topple to the earth
tomorrow's just an excuse
tomorrow's just an excuse
and you, can make it last, forever you
can make it last, forever you
can make it last, forever you
forever you


The Last Song (3:55)


this is the last song
this is the last song, i'll sing for you
this is the last song
this is the last song, i can give you

the roaring city sleeps
metal fingers clutching dirty sheets
and no one comes for free
in this place where the angels sleep

this is the last song
this is the last song

my eyes are wonder
my eyes are open wonder to this
as you hold the secrets
i count the minutes off so perfectly

the shards of broken glass
sing the strains of a sad old tune
we've made it at last
but we had is lost inside our past

this is the last song
this is the last song

could you find away across me
to forgive and forget me
to appease and relent me
to deceive and detect me
to understand and release me
to the dawn

this is the last song
this is the last song
this is the last song
this is the last song


The Aeroplane Flies High (Turns Left, Look Right) (8:31)


(Billy playing a recording of him talking from a walkman)
i really don't wanna look stupid when i'm sleeping
and no one really likes sunny days
the black wings just reach out to me over the distance
and i can feel, the wind from the wings
i see the clouds, i feel the ocean with my feet
it requires an ability to judge distance
the aeroplane flies high, turns left, looks right

love is a sentimental heart
life is a sentimental way
spy the fragile heart so cursed
as he walks across this earth

i'm disconnected by your smile
disconnect a million miles
and what you promise me i
hope will set you free and i'm
disconnected by your smile

(not sure who says this, it isn't SP though)
if i knew where i was going i would already be there
(guy laughing)
judicious, beutiful, uhh, augmented, whatever
i've always been afraid to die, but i think i'm more afraid to live

and all i gave to you is lost
and all you took from me is lost
black wings carry me so high
up to meet you in the sky

i'm disconnected by your smile
disconnect a million miles
and what you promise me i
hope will set you free and i'm
disconnected by your smile

disconnected by your smile
disconnect a million miles
what you promise me i
hope will set you free and i'm
disconnected by your smile

wishing you were real to me
wishing i could make believe
i'll take my secrets to the grave
safely held beneath the waves
always knew i couldn't save
always knew i couldn't save you

and in their heart i know you feel
and in their heart i know you fear
and in their heart i know you gone


Transformer (3:25)


(hit it)
a livewire, moves slow
a transformer, uhh-always knows the score is four
leaves you hanging on the floor for more and less and more of the blame

and she's tired
and she's sick of the same old shit
it's just more of the same old same old
i know she wants more and more and more to witness
to lay down and bear true

a cherry onion, firefly
tastes sweet you
and white as you are blue
knows just what she wants to do with you below the silver skies

don't hate her because she's undecided
and she's tired
and she's sick of the same old shit
it's just more of the same old same old
i know she wants more and more and more to stomach
in the honor of her youth

she's not sorry she's happy
sorry she's happy
she's not sorry she's happy
sorry she's happy as a turtle

transformer
transformer
transformer


The Bells (2:17)


(james iha singing)
ooh the bells are ringing out
what a sound

ooh the bells are ringing out
what a sound

and i'm in love
and i'm in love
the joy of love
the coming of jesus, jesus
did you call my name
never ever, felt afraid
did you hold onto
did you make it thru, you

(do-do's and da-da's)

there's so much doubt in every heart
for all our faults we carry on jesus, jesus
i ran away
i got so scared
i made mistakes
will i hold onto
will i make it thru

ooh the bells are ringing out
what a sound


My Blue Heaven (3:20)

Day is ending
Birds are wending
Back to their shelter of
Each little nest they love

Nightshade's falling
Lovebirds calling
What makes the world go round
Nothing but love

When Whippoorwills call
And evening is night
I hurry to my blue heaven
I turn to the right
A little white light
Will lead you to my blue heaven

You'll see a smiling face
A fireplace, a cozy room
A little nest
That's nestled where the roses bloom

Just Molly and me
And baby makes three
We're happy in my blue heaven

You'll see a smiling face
A fireplace, a cozy room
A little nest
That's nestled where the roses bloom

Just Molly and me
And baby makes three
We're happy in my blue heaven

We're happy in my blue heaven
