Pack up fair girl and go home now / I'm seeing shapes but no sound / Calling me out from the shroud / A silent stage and no crowd / What you waiting for / You are right on time / Pack up and go home / What you lost back then / is for the taking now / Pack up and go home / Seed to fire / suddenly mine / Is what I know all changing / Oh, I inherit grey places? / Romance the throne / (have I been) / Romance the throne / (have I been) / Blind to the sight of your god on the road / they take what they can if you know what I mean / Shame all the lies and the pain that you sold / break what you can if you know I mean / Pack up fair girl and go home now / I'm seeing shapes but no sound / I'm laying down my paper crown / no monarch here to play the clown / Seed to fire / suddenly mine / Is what I know all changing / Oh, I inherit grey places? / Romance the throne / (have I been) / Romance the throne / (have I been) / Blind to the sight of your god on the road / they take what they can if you know what I mean / Shame all the lies and the pain that you sold / break what you can if you know I mean

wedding gown and a blue sports car / I’ll make my way to the top again / past the ruins and miracle streets / don't I know the place / faint of heart I need you now / to let me down the white staircase / the arches there before my eyes / don't I know the place / does it make a difference / would you try / does it make a difference / would you try / I don’t have any answers / so I shift gear and go faster / it was so easy to misinterpret the signs / the story book never mentioned the shame or the knife / it was so easy to misinterpret the signs / The story book never mentioned the shame or the knife / I don’t have any answers / so I shift gear and go faster / I’ll wind my way to the top and hide / inside knots of your mulberry lies / the face I see in the rear view eye / oh the slight oh the change / precious face I recall you now / contempt of me familiar bride / all paid up; what a dowry brings / oh I gave you life / come on make me different / would you try / come on make me different / would you try / I don’t have any answers / so I shift gear and go faster / it was so easy to misinterpret the signs / the story book never mentioned the shame or the knife / it was so easy to misinterpret the signs / the story book never mentioned the shame or the knife / I don’t have any answers / so I shift gear and go faster / wedding gown and a blue sports car / I’ll make my way to the top again...

Teeth 04:12
Send her home / She don’t know where she is going / Send her home / She’s scared of oh not knowin / Don't you know she never was the girl / To take it all in stride? / How am I supposed to tell the girl / Let go and just ride? / Here alone / I’m drowning in her face / Painted doll / bear teeth in fits of rage / Bone white gate hold back / A tongue sharp as cythe / Was no telling how she would react / We laughed away the nights / Teeth, Teeth / Teeth, Teeth / Send her home / I don’t know where she is going / Send her now / I’m scared of oh not knowing / Don’t you know its been the kind of world / Where I could use a friend? / I’ve made peace with you on this before / But now I will not bend / Teeth, Teeth / Teeth, Teeth / Send her home / Send her home / Send her home / Send her home
