Say You Will

Illume says the candle that I burn
A reflection in the window
All the way to Point Dume
Illume-like it dances
I am a cliff dweller
From the old school

I like the coastal cities
I like the lights
I like the way the ocean blends
Into the city at night
It's like living on a working river
This coastline is glittering
Like a diamond snake
In a black sky

I am alone now
With my thoughts
Oh how we could make it
Of how we could get out
What we've been through
All of the trauma
The smell of Nag Champa
Shadow of a stranger

I will not take you for granted
I wouldn't trade it for jade
Or for diamonds
Not for a minute
Not for anything
I need you to be there
Just remember when I am haunted
That I was just scared

I am alone now...

What I saw on this journey
I saw history go down
I cannot pretend
That the heartache falls away
It's just like a river
Ooh, it's never ending
I cannot pretend
That the heartache falls away

Because I
It's just like a river
It's never ending
It's just like a river
It's never ending

I am alone now...
What I saw on this journey...
I am alone now....
What I saw on this journey...

Something in you brought out something in me that I've never been since
That part of me that was only for you, that kind of romance
Cause only once that kind of love, that kind of fever dance
That you love because you become someone else in an instant

Say you will, say you will
Give me one more chance
At least give me time to change your mind
That always seems to heal the wounds
If I can get you to dance

Something in you put a hold on my heart
Hard to believe now
Here is a place that will never be dark
I remember that place
That kind of touch
Electricity of love
That certain kind of grace
That you love because you become someone else in an instant

Chorus

Think of me, sweet darlin'
When everything is going bad
Think of me, sweet darlin'
Every time you're feeling sad
Think of me, sweet darlin'
Every time you don't come
Can you feel the fever?

Think of me, sweet darlin'
Every time things get rough
Think of me, sweet darlin'
When the best just isn't enough
Think of me, sweet darlin'
Every time you don't come
Can you feel the fever?

Cause nobody else is doing it oh
Nobody else is doing it oh no
Suffer how many ways [no clue, man]
Love was a little these days

Said I was going to put her away
She's been here a while
Living in the guest room
I guess she goes in style
I said I was going to put the girl away
But I just can't make her go
Can you feel the fever?

Now I lay me down to sleep
In this enemy bed
Tomorrow morning I will wake up
Hurtin' from the things we said
One thing leads to another
But I guess you know about that
Can you feel the fever?

Think of me, sweet darlin'
Every time you don't come

She was a silver girl
Lost in a high tech world
She was a golden girl
Immersed in a hard core world
She would have preferred
The last generation
But that's all right
She is on her way

She had the Midas touch
She was Lady Luck
She's got a million bucks
And she looks like it
She's had a few hard times
Sometimes it blows her mind
Those papers she never signed
Sometimes she remembers

Sometimes she was just an actress
But you'll never really know
A shadow moves across her face
You cannot see her soul
Unless she lets you
See her soul

She was a girlie girl
Caught in a man's world
And as her world turns
She feels old so alone

Still she's a danger girl
Insane far beyond her years
On some things she's very clear
She's a wild adventurer

Sometimes she was just an actress..

We make all of our suns the same
Every one will suffer the fire we've made
They all explode just the same
And there's no going back on the plans we've made

Peacekeeper take your time
Wait for the dark of night
Soon all the suns will rise
Peacekeeper don't tell why
Don't be afraid to fight
Love is the sweet surprise

Only creatures who are on their way
Ever poison their own well
But we still have time to hate
And there's still something we can sell

Chorus

When the night is cold and still
When you thought you'd had your fill
Take all the time you will
This is not a test, it's not a drill
Take no prisoners, break their will.

You know all of our friends are gods
And they all tell us how to paint our face
But there's only one brush we need
It's the one that never leaves a trace

Chorus
When the night is cold and still
When you thought you'd had your fill
This is not a test, it's not a drill
Take no prisoners, break their will.

You fell for her again, she watched it happen
Every day, day by day
But more important, night by night
She watched it all come into play
He held her hands, she listened to what he had to say

Thrown down...like a barricade
Maybe now he could prove to her
That he could be good for her
And they should be together

You've shaken your faith in me, no
You've shaken the faith in everything else
A decision no one makes, and now you're going home
Faith is a hard thing to hold on to
Something inside you says I don't have to
You're not like other people, you do what you want to
You're not like other people, you do what you want to

Thrown down... like a barricade
Maybe now he could prove to her
That he could be good for her
And they should be together
(So overwhelming, baby)
(There's nothing left to say)
He fell for her again, she watched it happen
Every day, day by day
But more important, night by night
She watched it all come into play
He held her hands, she listened to what he had to say

Thrown down...like a barricade
Maybe now he could prove to her
(so overwhelming, baby...there's nothing left to say)
That he could be good for her
(he says he's sorry, baby...he should walk away)
And they should be together
(so overwhelming, baby...there's nothing left to say)
About just how much he never really told her
(he should walk away)
Thrown down (so overwhelming, baby...there's nothing left to say)
About how difficult it had been to be without her
(he should walk away...so overwhelming, baby)
Thrown down
(there's nothing left to say...he should walk away)

Until she herself...
Became the deadliest poison
As she grew older
Until she herself
Became just as fatal
As her garden...

So you run toward...
What you know is wrong
But there are too many flowers...
To cut down
With all the love that I have for your life
With all the love that I have for your life

Never did I mean to imprison you
In my garden
Like I am imprisoned
Never did I mean to imprison you
In my garden
Like I am imprisoned

Until she herself
Became the deadliest poison
As she grew older
Until she herself
Became just as fatal
As the garden

So you run toward
What you know is wrong
But there are too many flowers...
To cut down
With all the love that I have for your life
With all the love that I have for your life
Don't trust me...
Never did I mean to imprison you
In my garden
Like I am imprisoned
Never did I mean to imprison you
In my garden
Like I am imprisoned

Never did I mean to imprison you
(Running though the garden)
In my garden
(Running through the garden)
Straight toward...
(Running through the garden)
There are too many flowers to cut down
(Brilliant colors)
With all the love that I have for your life...

All the sainted sinners
They pay handsomely
And eventually?
They make the weapons
And they run the prisons
And they sell the justice
Cause being guilty is
Just good business
And we'll be standing on
The borderline
Ain't no one there gonna
Stop it now

Murrow turning over in his grave
Murrow turning over in his grave
Murrow turning over in his grave
Murrow turning over in his grave
Ed Murrow had a child
Murrow turning over in his grave
The damn thing went wild
Murrow turning over in his grave
Murrow turning over in his grave
Murrow turning over in his grave
Murrow turning over in his grave
Better watch out
Murrow turning over in his grave
He's gonna run wild

Half-closed eyes
And unconscious death
Do you feel the ooze as your brain drains out
From your pneumatic drills and sharpening knives
Blood in the sky
Are you dead or alive?
All the restless people and the bitter green
Well it fakes this gold, makes the spirit mean

Murrow turning over in his grave
Murrow turning over in his grave
Murrow turning over in his grave
Murrow turning over in his grave
Ed Murrow had a child
Murrow turning over in his grave
The damn thing went wild
Murrow turning over in his grave
Murrow turning over in his grave
Murrow turning over in his grave
Murrow turning over in his grave
Ed Murrow had a child
Murrow turning over in his grave
The damn thing went wild

What's the world coming to?
What they say isn't true
You can't plant no seed
Where there's only greed

I can walk anywhere
I can walk anytime
But the long highway
Is the only way

What's the world coming to?
What's the world coming to?
Everyone's gone to the moon
What's the world coming to?

Every night, every day
In this house filled with shame
I can say I care
But there's no one there
There's no truth in my life
There's no light in my eyes
And it's all I guess
That I'll ever miss

Chorus

I can jump right off
Fall right in to the ocean
I can come right out
Mean just what I say
But if I don't call for a reservation
They'll just turn me down
Turn me inside out

I don't take what they want
I don't do what they say
So I'm on their list
So I'm gone I guess
