"Immaculate" lyrics
"Immaculate"
Johnny, get a hold of your life
Wherever I go, your face is in front of me
You aren't breathing
Holding up the end of the line
If there ever was a crack in the ice, you don't believe in it
You are a diamond, set
On an immaculate height
Safe
Belly up and under the wire
Lying awake in the hours and the emptiness
Only to run from the days we are living in
You only get a look at your life when you're leaving it
And in the silences
When you're arrested in flight
When you lie on your back
With your eyes on the firmament
Your burning mouth, your blazing eyes
Come on!
If you believe in it
It's a respectable life
Go police all the beats
You'll find nothing is innocent
Johnny, get a hold of your life
Stop at the edge till the animus drains away
Or follow the loneliest road
Run in the dark till a light comes screaming in
Through the silences
You are alone on the ice
And you stand on the brakes
To find nothing is happening

Didn't make the best of that one

But ended up all insecure
How does it feel

Eels - "What's A Fella Gotta Do" I'm so bored, I wanna get in trouble
Buried alive beneath my life's rubble
I'll tell you what's really making me sad
Your disinterest is driving me mad
You're so fine
If you were mine I'd love you...
Okkervil River - "On A Balcony" Misty, when you want to hit those wedding bells, you should stop yourself. You should see yourself angry. Screaming to the ceiling, girl, you look like hell. But when riding pills we get heavenly, on...
Calexico - "All Systems Red" Felt a tremor stir beneath my breath
That forecasts storms on the gallup poll
Woke up from the nightmare news
And hoping to read a sign in the morning air
Nothing changes here and nothing...
