The Spaces In Between

Ben Christophers The Spaces In Between Lyrics
1.Flowers Drink Upon The Ground

Flowers drink upon the ground
In the story of nature
Queer as folk they think there's gold
In those rugged streams
But it's been dry for years

And they sway like empty clothes
In soulless avenues
And they wind on like the roads
Until the rains became their eyes

The boy who belonged to no one else but himself
And those darling beasts became your friend
So bless the girl who took me away
It's those diamond eyes
It's all I could take

She smokes a smile like nothing I've seen
Makes the wind wind over all the dark days
Blow down the secret ship of despair
For all to find a place to believe in
Everyone's missing someone
Everyone's missing something

And still I don't know why a bee stings and dies
And yet it's wasps I hate
Why does money matter so
And people look for ufo's

The books are dying from disbelief
They are the poses at the road side
Love is sabotage you tasted blood
You had it coming for years
And years

And you sway like empty clothes
In soulless avenues
And it winds on like the roads
Until the rains become their eyes
For all of time

Lord I've been foolish forgive me
Lord I fucked up forgive me
Forgive me
Lord I've been foolish forgive me


2.Good Day For The Hopeless

Let me find it in my head
Me I'm hazey hesitatin instead

I only find sense in the wilderness
Dialing zeros to operate my mind
I only find sense in the chaos
Dialing out to get away from here

What a good day for the hopeless
So I'm lazy yes I'm down
What a great day what a good day
There's no one else around

The highway drones like belly aches
All these road bend
Deviate

I only find sense in the wilderness
Dialing zeros to operate my mind


3.Everybody Stood To See Us

Rip out time from the clock
No one keeps up with the hands anyway

Walked a lonely street
Of skeleton grins
A needle full of empty things
But all along we were ok

Everybody stood to see us
And everyone agreed
We lit up like the stars
And everybody stood to see us land
And everyone believed
We lit up like the stars

Wireless words
Float through space
A happy vale for all the dreams
And all the ones who want to know

Soundless waves rolled over us
Thought we were going down like stones
But all along we were ok
All along we were ok


4.River Song

She came round here like ravens
Little diamonds on water
There's blood on your lips
Kissed by the ruin glow of your lust

Captured in your arms
Dead city dreamer
Creep from your hair like vultures do
Deep inside your skin
Ride pretty shadow
Finger tips crawl from you

Wrecking ball swings over us eye's shut
Bicycle spokes
Innocent spin
As lonely as addiction you're it
Tenderness lost


5.The Drinking Tree

There's a hiss from the highway
Snakes her hips into everybody's ears
Don't think I've heard silence for years
And I could have sworn I saw you
Walking down the cobbled stones
Beneath the leaning trees yesterday

I know you sailed away some time ago
But we come here to listen to you comfort us
With your lullaby

Underneath the drinking tree
We sail away with our friends
The cemetery is alive tonight
The disappeared the gruesome and the strays
We are invisible ink
As beautiful as you now

There's a sound in your voice
There's a place in your everlasting words
Yet I don't have a clear belief
Yet I could have sworn I heard you sing to me
From my headphones deep into my head like pill

We listen closely


6.Cat Sculls

7.A Race Between Me And Forever

It's you
You scared me half to death
What for
It's just a race between me and forever
I was on my ten speed all the way

I faced
Myself and saw no one
Just time
The little minute hand twisting my arm
Like she knows what I'll be

And you aim to the sky to the sky
Where the end has no ends and no return
And you aim to the sky to the sky
A lonely carousel

Do you
Think it's suicide
That she has a jealous side all over you
Running down a hill backwards

I faced
Myself and saw no one
Just time
The little minute hand twisting my arm
Like she knows what i'll be when i die

A lonely carousel winds on


8.Fake Eyelash

Inside a rolling stone
I look for you
Inside a stolen thief
I listen closely

Murdered by yourself
No one else
Like a fake eyelash I lie to myself

A moon is shining high above your way home
A vampire on your mind drinking the water
That falls from your eyes and your heart

When will she notice me and no one else

Like a fake eyelash I lie
To myself I lie that she loves me


9.A Devil To Kill

I've got dumb blues over you and I'm godless suddenly
I don't have anything you need

I've got these bones under me
And I want to find a cure for time
Before it's time for me

Why am I beating myself up
I've got a devil to kill
Why am I beating myself up
I've got a devil to kill

Come back honey come back
I'm aching for you
But I was the one who let you go

Aint that always the way
Aint that always the way
It's the sunshine after the darkest day

My eyes are too big for my belly
I've got these bones under me
My eyes are too big for my belly
I've got these bones under me

Aint that always the way
Aint that always the way
It's the sunshine after the darkest day

Why am I beating myself up

I've got these bones under me and I want to find a cure
For time before it's time for me


10.Where The Road Bends

A blade of grass in the sand
I knew someone just like you
A wondering eye among us all
We turned to daisy chains

Only where the road bends
Seeing what tomorrow brings
I hear you in the strumming
I hear you in the place I Live

And you my Love I lost to faith
And I lost myself in a long glass
I knew a boy who cut out his pain
But all that flowed was madness


11.Spaces In Between

Between the devil and the deep blue sea
I'm craving what I don't want
daggers are temptation in my bones
I'm sure he knows my name

He says praise you boy
Come with me
This is where black flowers grow
I am the spaces in between
The dark and light
And and all those funny dreams you get
I know you fear me

But I belong to those on the other side
I don't know why you came
Umbrellas flick to black birds here
I don't know where this is

From outer space we fly
We know not where we go
From outer space we turn for ever more

He said bless you child roam with me

Follow the sun
Look up and follow the sun
And please don't be afraid of me
