Five Ghosts

Stars Five Ghosts Lyrics
1.Dead Hearts

Tell me everything that happened
Tell me everything you saw
They had lights inside their eyes
They had lights inside their eyes

Did you see the closing window?
Did you hear the slamming door?
They moved forward, my heart died
They moved forward, my heart died

Please, please tell me what they look like
Did they seem afraid of you?
They were kids that I once knew
They were kids that I once knew

I could say it, but you won't believe me
You say you do, but you don't deceive me
It's hard to know they're out there
It's hard to know that you still care
I could say it but you wont believe me
You say you do but you don't deceive me
Dead hearts are everywhere
Dead hearts are everywhere

Did you touch them, did you hold them?
Did they follow you to town?
They make me feel I'm falling down
They make me feel I'm falling down

Was there one you saw too clearly?
Did they seem too real to you?
They were kids that I once knew
They were kids that I once knew

They were kids that I once knew
They were kids that I once knew
Now they're all dead hearts to you
Now they're all dead hearts to you

They were kids that I once knew
They were kids that I once knew
Now they're all dead hearts to you


2.Wasted Daylight

Heat is a heavy head
Keeps me in my bed
Push aside the pillow
The whole room just turned yellow

Three in the afternoon
We still haven't moved
Siren sighs echo
A pulse through our window

I don't mind, I don't mind
This wasted, shaded daylight
I don't mind, I don't mind
This wasted, shaded daylight

Pull in the body to twist
The thighs, the heels, the hips
Constellation markings
Across your body, drawings

Telephone rings
But we'll just let it sing
Hide out till tomorrow
I crawl into your shadow

In the way your hand hits the wave
In between the dreamer and the breath
Long beside the bitter of the skin
Today won't know when to begin


3.I Died So I Could Haunt You

Thousands of ghosts in the daylight
Walking though my hometown square
Thousands of faces you touched once
Thousands you lost in the fright

Knock, knock on the door of the house that he knew
The air grows cold around me and you, it's cold
You know that he's there

Thousands of ghosts in the darkness
Lost in a strange neighborhood
The lights from the warm houses haunt them
They forgot what they lost
But they know it was good

I was only a girl when I wore those clothes
I was unfaithful, I lived as I chose
I want only to haunt you
But you're never there

I died so I could have you
I died so I could haunt you

I died so I could have you
I died so I could hold you
I died so I could haunt you

Thousands of ghosts in the daylight
One day we all disappear
We'll walk till we get to the harbor
They'll never know we were here


4.Fixed

What you want, you are, you always were
What you want, you are, you always were.
When the plans fall, changing hands
What are the chances of winning

You, you hold my heart
You, you won't let up
after I am caught, touch turns into fisticuffs
it's all in your head, wonder if I'm fixed to cut.

fake statistics, and the collected home
with all the hunger, that keeps you climbing walls
it's the one thing you can count on
We all end floating away, we all end floating away

You, you hold my heart
You, you won't let up
after I am caught, touch turns into fisticuffs
it's all in your head, wonder if I'm fixed to cut.

Is it your fall?

You, you're sinking so they say
You, you're finished so they say
You, you're buried so they say
You, a killer killing fate.


5.We Don't Want Your Body

Knock shop in Oxford Street
One where the vampires meet
Silk purse, pink tie and all of that
Platforms, white teeth, a stupid hat

They really like to see you there
You make them think you really care
I've watched you take your make up off
Your face grows hard
Your eyes grow soft

The window blinds are drawn
You flash your trash to turn me on
I sigh and frown and start to cough
Your hunger starts to turn me off

Lie down and try to talk to me
Sleep now and dream of who you'll be
When you finally become someone.

You tune into my frequency
But that don't mean a thing to me
Cause I don't want your body
I don't want your body

You sold me some cheap ecstasy
So you could have some sex with me
But I don't want your body
I don't want your body

Face down upon the bar
I always said you'd get far
But you're not the kid you used to be
Someone should call your family

White line dead time the chloroform
Flashbulbs which pop to keep you warm
I've watched you slowly fall away
The colours fade, from blue to grey

The window blinds undrawn
You flash your trash to turn us on
You're just a tramp, we're just a trick
Our hunger starts to make us sick

Lie down and try to talk to me
Sleep now and dream of who you'll be
But will you actually be anyone?

You tune into my frequency
But that don't mean a thing to me
Cause I don't want your body
I don't want your body

You sold me some cheap ecstasy
So you could have some sex with me
But I don't want your body
I don't want your body

You tune into my frequency
But that don't mean a thing to me
Cause I don't want your body
I don't want your body

You sold me some cheap ecstasy
So you could have some sex with me
But I don't want your body
I don't want your body

We don't want your body


6.He Dreams He's Awake

Sunrise
Oh sunrise
When will you ever come?

Sunrise
Oh sunrise
When will the night be gone?

It won't let me go


7.Changes

This time in between the day and the night
the light kills my sense of life
so scared, turn it off, turn it off

It's dull, this dusk, this desk, this dust
My eyes adjust
I'll blow out the flame
Can you and me remain?

Changes, never been good with change
I hate it when it all stays the same
caught between the gold and the game
Changes, never been good with change
I hate it when it all stays the same
caught between the cold and the waves
My heart beats up, again

Once said, words make a world of their own
I misread
I can't get you back on the phone
I'm so tired, so turn it off, turn it off
How's that, last week we were home
you're far away
and I hardly know
Can you and me delay?

Changes, never been good with change
I hate it when it all stays the same
caught between the gold and the game
Changes, never been good with change
troubled when it all stays the same
caught between this cold and the waves
My heart beats up, again

Are you my trouble
Are you my trouble


8.The Passenger

7:49
Night train right on time
Climb the sea of stairs
absinth brandy wine
spirits moving in the steam
Come partner forest green
the rattle of the rails
you fall into a dream
high clouds in the sky
the room goes racing by
another sleepless night
so you speed into daylight

Here comes another strange town
Here comes another breakdown
And you can run forever
They'll catch you now or never

In the tainted car
and then later in the bar
you see yourself reflected
I wonder who you are
The passengers asleep
dream of secrets that they keep
in the cabin next to you
a woman starts to wake

The things you knew all fall away
The things you had all disappear
As if you were never here

Here comes another strange town
Here comes another breakdown
And you can run forever
They'll catch you now or never

And when you arrive
your not sure if you're alive
all the passengers are gone
everybody step one
station quiet, station still
nothing moves, nothing will
put your hand up to your face
there are things you can't believe


9.The Last Song Ever Written

This is the last song that was ever written
After this, nothing will rhyme
This is the last time that you'll ever see us
After this, you're gonna go blind
This is the last time that there'll be a last time
You'll wake up to the day without it
This is the last time that you're gonna lose someone
After this, it's you and your friends
It's you and your friends

This is the last song that was ever written
Melody is over and done
All of the words we sing erase each other
You only need songs when you're young.
There was a strange goodbye outside the station.
There was a letter three weeks later in the mail
We didn't know we knew you 'til we lost you
You tried to leave us all alone, we wish you had failed

We're gonna sing a song without words
And a tune you haven't heard in a long time
Not since the year you were two
And she sang to you in the wintertime
And it goes la la la la


10.How Much More

How much more am I supposed to take
How much more am I supposed to break
You asked for time, and time takes you away
I'm alone and you're a man
I need you closer to me

My hands are tied
because I won't say goodbye
I tried
I told you I was brave but I lied

Is this the story or
is this the end
I always kill your shadow but,
here we are again

in the wild, in the way you love me
with your smile, will you ever save
save me
because we can't freeze ourselves
in this hell
you came with me so hopeless I fell

How much more am I supposed to take
I can find forever in other ways
but how much more
how much more
I need you closer to me
Always.


11.Winter Bones

All I've known
I that there is an end
Then you can begin again
Day, everyday
I had a dream
That the sea was helpless
The crowd was loud
I went to leave

Can I come to your house?
Caught in the ropes and the wires
The sun settles hard in the south
Winter lives in my bones

When you awake you're alone

You say 'Is this a war?'
Hardly, and then you hit a wall
Honestly, you wan't to know but you can't
I believe, I want to believe, in anything

Can I come to your house?
I'm caught in the ropes and the wires
The sun settles hard in the south
Winter lives in my bones

It's all I've ever known.
