I walked through the snow in Albany
following the scent of your hair.
I wish we lived with Paris.
I wish we felt embarrassed.
I wish that you would comb my hair
Wont you watch me comb my hair?
I'm on the train (yes)
the long connector (go)
when i found blood in my hair.
Oh no its not mine
it's dream time.
I learned of the fall and broke a limb
and now all i can write about is sin
I wish people were kind
I wish i had more time
I wish that you would comb your hair
Please wont you comb your hair?
I'm in your car (yes)
with a conjecture (oh no)
when i found blood on my hands.
Oh no its not mine
it's dream time.
This is a song
for the lost
and I know you don't care
but baby...
Wont you watch me comb my hair?
Wont you watch me comb my hair?
Wont you watch me comb my hair?
(oh boy)
Wont you watch me comb my hair?
Wont you watch me comb my hair?
Wont you watch me comb my hair?
Wont you watch me comb my hair?
(oh boy)
Wont you watch me comb my hair?

I'm cutting ties
with her
I'm cutting ties
with fear
I'm cutting ties
with a loveless love
that makes you wanna cry
now is the time
for the cutting ties
lovers spit
worn and dried
I'm sorry baby
but now I'm cutting ties
lost in bliss
you're on my mind
I'm sorry baby
that we ever tried
oh
cutting ties
ooooooh
cutting ties
oooooh
So many things
on my mind
When I see the moon
I'm cutting ties
i cant see that light
in your eyes
i guess that's why
I"m cutting ties
Cutting ties
Cutting ties
Cutting ties
Cutting ties

The Pleasuredome

I first saw you
somewhere within the deepest cold
And I know my eyes are always watching.
In this place
there's a million ways
to turn and twist your bones
and I know, I know
your heart is always wanting more...
But no way you go
will ever take you home
We don't exist just to steal our bones.
But if there's more to this
please let me go home.
In The Pleasure dome
you're not alone
In The Pleasure dome
you're not alone
you're not alone
In The Pleasure dome
you're not alone
In The Pleasure dome
you're not alone
In The Pleasure dome
no you're not alone
no you're not alone
no you're not alone
no you're not alone
no you're not alone
with me...

Logic's always telling you
someone has to cry
mom was always tellin you
its a sin to tell a lie
but I don't know if its true
when there's someone in the wings for you
who says
"praise the logic of the fool"
who wants you
and only you x2
they're watching me watching you
its all they ever do
she's watching me watching you
treating me so cruel
they're watching me watching you
like there's nothing else to do
we're watching me watching you
but all i want
to do is be with you
I don't wanna be your fool
this lust was not our confusion
I don't care if that's cool
because you cant love an illusion
I'm done with
watching me watching you
(aahhh ahhh)
its all we ever do
i sick of the
watching me watching you
(aahhh ahhh)
there's so much I'd rather do
stop!
watching me watching you
(aahhh ahhh)
then you'll know the truth
stop!
watching me watching you
(aahhh ahhh)
or you might lose the fool
who loves you.

Chasing Cars

You wake up in the middle of the night
and touch your stone...
When the market lights go out
you shut your mouth
because you're all alone....
You do the math like a market man
and then you get stoned...
But I've been waiting so long
for a thought this good...
When it's time to leave
we go
chasing cars!
Day after day
we go
chasing cars!
I cant wait to see you
so I go
chasing cars!
All of this life
I've been
chasing cars!
You wake up and you work it good
When you're at home...
But when you go out
you don't feel good,
cos your still alone...
It's a show you love to see
those eyes of mystery
but in the time it takes to leave
there's no one left to be
and then it goes,
to the great unknown...
ooooh
I hate to be the one to stop the show....
But in time
we all must go
chasing cars!
For now
I must go
chasing cars!
You're not alone
lets go!
Chasing cars!
Chasing cars!
Chasing cars!
Chasing cars!
Chasing cars!
