Echobelly Lustra Lyrics
1.Angel B

Time stands still
When you fear your hope is gonna fade
Hope doesn't come
'Til you catch your fear and give it away
I'm waiting for the tide
The darkness of this night
To fade into the night
And it won't be long
I hope it won't be long
Oh no
Told me they would come
Told me they were gonna take him away
He's the only one
He's the one that makes me feel this way
And don't you criticise
What you can't understand
He's the pulse inside my hand
He's the only one
He is the only one

I see, hear, taste, I breathe him
Seven years and thirteen days
Oh I wouldn't forsake him
My own disturbed angel boy
I would wait a thousand years for you

Breathe into your heart
Let me taste the colour of your core
Memory rewind to the heady time we had before

Coming up, I'm coming down
Reaching up and falling down
The time is coming round
And it won't be long
I hope it won't be long

I see, hear, taste, I breathe him
Seven years and thirteen days
Oh I wouldn't forsake him
My own disturbed angel boy
I would wait a thousand years for you

Coming up, I'm coming down
Reaching up and falling down
The time is coming round
And it won't be long
I know it won't be long

I see, hear, taste, I breathe him
Seven years and thirteen days
Oh I wouldn't forsake him
My own disturbed angel boy
I see, hear, taste, I breathe him
Seven years and thirteen days
Oh I wouldn't forsake him
My own disturbed angel boy I would wait a thousand years for you
I would wait a thousand years for you
I would wait a thousand years for you


2.Lustra

Lustra
There's something hiding behind your immaculate smile
You have always known, so let it out

Lustra
I fell your anger swell the radical in your style, girl
Take the cross you bear and throw it out

She's coming up, coming up
Breathe it in and let it out
Let it go, be yourself, take a shot
It's what you've always known now
You've always known now
What you waiting for

Lustra
It's gonna take as long, as long as it will take
To strike a match to your silence
Take the pain you bear and burn it out

She's coming up, coming up
Breathe it in and let it out
Let it go, be yourself, take a shot and give it out
Coming up, coming up
Breathe it in and let it out
Let it go, be yourself, take a shot
It's what you've always known now
You've always known now
What you waiting for

Lustra
Don't you know where's no tomorrow
In a sense, there's no way out
Innocence is all you're born with
Inner sense dictates the way you wheel
The way you deal with knowing who you are

Lustra
You know where hell is when you
Fight the maze of denial
Do it
You've gotta take a shot
Give all you've got for your dreams girl

She's coming up, coming up
Breathe it in and let it out
Let it go, be yourself, take a shot and give it out
Coming up, coming up
Breathe it in and let it out
Let it go, be yourself, take a shot
It's what you've always known now
You've always known now


3.Wired on

I wanna get wired on something new
I wanna get high on something
I wanna get wired on something new

Every wide open space
It's the gaping holes that get to you
They frighten you
An echo of your emptiness
Every lie that you've fed
You can kiss my open spaces
I am safe from you
I'm better now, I'm better now

I wanna get wired on something new
I wanna get high on something
I wanna get wired on something new

Every scan I've erased
Leave a memory that will prey on you
An overspill
I hope it will, I hope it will
All the time I have wasted

Tasted Bitterness
Now I confess, you waste my space
At any time, at any rate

I wanna get wired on something new
I wanna get high on something
I wanna get wired on something new

Now you're up against a wall
It's the other side that scares you
And you're groping through the hole
And you're hoping for a way out
Your strength is on it's last legs
You could be somewhere else
Instead you're blinded by the way out
The way out
And it's right here

I wanna get wired on something new
I wanna get high on something
I wanna get wired on something new
I wanna get high on something
I wanna get high on something


4.Here comes the big rush

Save your point of view
For the manic charm that he puts you through
When he wears your pearls, your ruby dress
And he looks so good with his sunken chest
There's a certain charm
To the pretty boy that is on my arm
He's my double friend, a boy and a girl
when he says:

Paint my face, lick your mouth
Fake a yawn and we'll go out and glow
We're on our way to somewhere in particular
I'll take you somewhere, where you haven't been
And I'll show you a good time, like you've never seen
Here comes the big rush

There's a special ring
To his Cuban heels and his six-pack swing
His mother's clothes are his new disguise
And his good advice when he says:

Vanity's a virtue, lets no one in to hurt you
I'll take you somewhere, where you haven't been
And I'll show you a good time, like you've never seen
Here comes the big rush

You're one of the boys
Pump that pipe dream, sell you something
New, new, new
We're on our way to somehwere in particular
I'll take you somewhere, where you haven't been
And I'll show you a good time, like you've never seen
Here comes the big rush

You're one of the boys
Pump that pipe dream, sell you something
pump that pipe dream, sell you something
New new


5.The world is flat

It is not too late to carry on
So you've made mistakes
And here's another one
Oh but you deserve another chance
Chase it round until you face yourself

The world is flat and we are insane
And we have fallen off again
It really helps to know the way

What if you take more than you deserve
What if you give all and you get nothing back
Sell your soul not your stereo
Take your favourite songs and sail off

The world is flat and we are insane
And we have fallen off again
The world is right and we are mad
And world opinions where it's at
Don't rate the score don't take the blame
The world is flat and we're insane

I won't be sad I won't be sorry
I've no regrets and i don't worry
I'll roll the sail and i won't let go
I'll ride the wave until tomorrow

There are some who do and some do not
There are some who can't
And we're the other ones
Shape your fate, let your body go
Take your favourite songs and sail away

The world is flat and we are insane
And we have fallen off again
The world is right and we are mad
And world opinions where it's at
Don't rate the score don't take the blame
The world is flat and we're insane

lalalalalalala..., lalalalalalala...


6.Everyone knows better

I know there's a certain amount
To what you're thinking
My hopes never seem to amount
To more than stopping smoking

Everyone knows better. I'll do it anyway
Everyone knows better oh yeah

Heroes never seem
To allow for self-expression
Lovers stick around
To allow what they think you're missing

Everyone knows better. I'll do it anyway
Everyone knows better. I'll do it anyway

Looking around
To avoid what's in front of you
Good intentions
Wrapped round like some old sweater
A vain hope
That it might be good for you

You mind is made
Make your mind up
Make your mind up
Make your mind up
We like to make the same mistakes

Sunshine
A ray of hope in a hopeless situation
Suntanned
Your reward for the hopeful hours that you spend
Burning

Everyone knows better. I'll do it anyway
Everyone knows better. I'll do it anyway
Everyone knows better. I'll do it anyway
Everyone thinks they know better
I'll do it anyway

Looking around
To avoid what's in front of you
Good intentions
Wrapped round like some old sweater
A vain hope
That it might be good for you
Your mind is made


7.Paradise

In all day, out all night
You and I see the sights in paradise
Very nice
Take me home, do it 'til your hear aches
And then you'll know my mind

And if I stay
I'd only drive you mad
I'm not that stable, I'm not so right in a way
I find myself at odds wanting to be here
Never arrive

Love and Peace
Ill at ease with naked greed
Hunger feeding, aim to please, what a teaser
Maybe I owe it to my own ways
But then I know my mind
You see, I know, I've been there before

And if I stay
I'd only drive you mad
I'm not that stable, I'm not so right in a way
I find myself at odds wanting to be here
Never arrive

If I stay
I'm not the type of girl
Waitin for someone
Waiting at home there's a way out
And only time can tell
Will be here, Will I begone
In all day, out all night
You and I see the sights in paradis


8.O

I get it on
When I lay my fingers on
Let me drift away
Take me to a place I have known before
Let me hear the words you know I adore
Let me slip away to a world I know

When you sing
Oh oh oh oh take me
I am a slave to your charms
Turn it on

And I wanna celebrate
I can hear your song
Rushing through my veins, it surrounds me now
Touching me inside, I can ride the sound

When you sing
Oh oh oh oh take me
I am a slave to your charms
Turn it on

Can I lay my fingers on?
Soaking in the way you shine
Your rhythm slides around my mind
I've really got it now
Serenades that nearly split my senses
Oh so special
Turn it on

When you sing
Oh oh oh oh take me
I am a slave to your charms
Turn it on

And I wanna celebrate
Get it on
Get it on
Get it on
Get it on


9.Bulldog baby

Stood up at a border street
A souped up strut on swollen feet
My loss remembered incomplete
What memory knows I can't repeat
Offered army soul salvation
Sandwich choice of God and nation
Haloed voices, chiselled faces
Fill my head with empty spaces

Out of the breakdown of the whole
Back to the choices on repeat
Out of a life put on hold

Once again a bulldog baby
Classified as cheap and lazy
Inner pity meat mutation
Pay the price for approbation
Welcome to the new dictators
Power, drugs and imitators

Out of the breakdown of the whole
Back to the choices on repeat
Out of a life put on hold

Mother's dressed in alligator
All good children love to hate her

Out of the breakdown of the whole
Back to the choices on repeat
Out of a life put on hold
Into the fallout of belief


10.Iris art

Shattered glass, shooting stars, silver sparks
Come and shine on me
Take your time, don't hurry baby
Break a smile, when you come to me

I'm up on a high
Catch me if you fall
Up on a high
Your love fills me like a waterfall

Iris art, skin on skin, let me in
Take a ride with me
Take a trip, don't worry baby
Love the way we satisfy a need

I'm up on a high
Catch me if you fall
Up on a high
Catch me if you fall
You love fills me like a waterfall

Love. Love. Love. Love.
Love. Love. Love. Love. Love.

Slaughterhouse nursery rhyme
Numb it with your anodyne
Seraphim serpentine
Wrap me in your anodyne heart

I'm up on a high
Catch me if you fall
Up on a high
Catch me if you fall
You love fills me like a waterfall


11.I'm not a saint

Everybody's staring at my...
Everybody's out to catch my...eye...
I've gotta think it over
I've gotta think it over

Everybody's got somebody to...
All I wanted was a body to...hide...
I've gotta think it over
I've gotta think it over

I'm not a saint. I'm not a saint. I'm not a saint. I'm not a
saint.

Dog is barking, head is hurting
Car is chasing, hands are dirty I've gotta think it over
I've gotta think it over

I'm not a saint. I'm not a saint.
(It's the way I feel inside)
I'm not a saint. I'm not a saint.
(Takes me over sometimes)


12.Bleed

Where and why this journey lies
With faded sighs for every mile
I'm awake
Hunger bleeds in each and everyone of us
We chase our dreams unaware

And I never had the chance to say no
And I never had the chance to say no
Don't walk away

Where's the trust the one in us
Entwined, inclined and gladly blind
Fade away
Hunger bleeds in each and everyone of us
And now I'm lost

And I never had the chance to say no
And I never had the chance to say no
Don't walk away
Say no
