The Black Angels Phosphene Dream Lyrics
1.Bad Vibrations

Lyricist:Stephanie Bailey, Geary Christian Bland, Kyle Hunt, Alexander
Maas, Nathaniel Ryan

Can you tell a wish from a spell? A hug from a lie?
They both make you feel so gone
We warned you from harm again
Your beating hearts again

We made love in June
I heard it from you
You were my best friend
You used my name

Hit hard with harm, she loves to off you then yawn
Never disarm, you know she loves to be drawn
You're leaching her friend
I'm feeling down again

We made love with a few
I took it from you
You were my worst friend
I felt that way

Braiding her hair, you can tell her from here
Drink her last tear, yeah, you die for your dear
Bad vibes around her
She's eating our hearts again

We made love in June
I heard it from you
You were my best friend
You used my name

Inside, outside
Inside, outside
Inside, outside
Inside, outside

Inside, outside
Inside, outside
Inside, outside
Inside, outside

Inside, outside
Inside, outside
Inside, outside
Inside, outside


2.Haunting At 1300 Mckinley

Lyricist:Stephanie Bailey, Geary Christian Bland, Kyle Hunt, Alexander
Maas, Nathaniel Ryan

I don't stay after six
Oh no, it's way too dark
'You're frightened,' she said
'No one can hear us at all'

There was this thought I was sane
Until I met that red dame

'Don't be worried'
Is all she said
'Oh baby, you whine
Yeah, you cry all the time'

The bedspread is green
You talk, dress and think
We leave before it gets dark
Walk steady with you in arms
So don't be around me
Yeah, I'm gone you see

'In the night I roam
Hey, hey, hey'
I guess I'll pack my things

'In the night I roam
Hey, hey, hey'
'In the night I roam
Hey, hey, hey'
'In the night I roam
Hey, hey, hey'


3.Sunday Afternoon

Lyricist:Stephanie Bailey, Geary Christian Bland, Kyle Hunt, Alexander
Maas, Nathaniel Ryan

Come on over here
It's all right over here
In the silent, empty places
It's shining in the shadows

It's all right over here
It's okay over here
Up in my tree where you can see
Crystal visions on a Sunday

You know that you don't even know
Yeah, yeah, yeah
You think just like they told you to
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Look within you for the kingdom
Then you'll see, you can see

Come on over here
It's all right over here
In the middle of the daytime
Fell the colors pull from inside

And come on over here
It's all right over here
With your new eyes, turn on your light
Let your love glow, leave your ego

You know that you've just got to go
Yeah, yeah, yeah
You were blind, trapped inside their sty
Yeah, yeah, yeah
But now you see that you know nothing
So just go and let it show


4.Telephone

Lyricist:Stephanie Bailey, Geary Christian Bland, Kyle Hunt, Alexander
Maas, Nathaniel Ryan

I just sit and cry
By the telephone

You never call my name
On the telephone
You never call my name
On the telephone

I just sit and cry
By the telephone

I try and call your phone
But you're never home
I try and call your phone
But you're never home

You watch me sit outside
You watch me wait and try

And much to my surprise
I caught you on the number nine
You never called my name
On the telephone

You never call my name
On the telephone
You never call my name
On the telephone

You make me sick inside
You make me wanna die


5.The Sniper

Lyricist:Stephanie Bailey, Geary Christian Bland, Kyle Hunt, Alexander
Maas, Nathaniel Ryan

It's quiet and loud
No one hears it but us
Some starving and proud
No one chooses but us

You can hide upstream
We will trap and scalp you
Change the color of your skin
But sure as night we'll find you

Never meant to hurt no one
Only meant to move myself
Yeah, I try and I try
'Til I'm red in the face

We decide what goes inside your head

You see yourself in me
How'd you do that?
How'd you?

Beyond your tower's wall
He waits on the killing call
And he tries and he tries
'Til he's red in the face

We decide what goes inside your head


6.True Believers

Lyricist:Stephanie Bailey, Geary Christian Bland, Kyle Hunt, Alexander
Maas, Nathaniel Ryan

In the middle of the holding out
Nobody will be dropped out
Except fake gods whose faux pas
Are offsetting bets

Well, who knows, yeah who knows
Which birds will be left
To sing and sing and sing for me?
Well, who knows which birds
Will be left for me?

Hare came to me
In the month of August
Mary loves Sally the most
Maybe Buddha is the true
Son of God's kiss
Maybe, you'll never know

'Woo hoo,' they sang
As they crossed the river
'Woo hoo,' they said
As they prayed to Jesus
Woo hoo, the walls fell on Jericho

Well, who knows, yeah who knows
Which birds will be left
To sing and sing and sing for me?
Yeah, who knows which birds
Will be left for me? Well, no one knows

'Woo hoo,' they yelled
When they came to Mecca
Beat them as they go
'Woo hoo,' they said
As they read the Vedas
Leave them, let them go

Spinning Sufi's on their heads
Are hearing tones of wisdom
Devilish women warning
Men of their actions
Now bring them to you and me


7.Yellow Elevator #2

Lyricist:Stephanie Bailey, Geary Christian Bland, Kyle Hunt, Alexander
Maas, Nathaniel Ryan

Picture the skyline right over the sky
Picture your image right over your eye
Now you see, you see it fall
Now you see, you see you fall

See your friends around
The temple on the street downtown
Run forth to tell them
All the truth that you've found
One by one they go up inside
I thought that I'd been left behind too

Yellow elevator, yellow elevator
Yellow elevator, yellow elevator

Stuck on the ground 'til
I found another way there
Now you take a ride
On that yellow elevator

Seeing through golden light

Pierce that ceiling with the light that you find
Try behold the spirit it can burn your eyes
You hold the fire and catch your soul
I held the fire and I want it so, again

Yellow elevator, yellow elevator
Yellow elevator, yellow elevator
Nothing's the same after that elevator
Nothing's the same after that yellow elevator

Seeing through golden light

Now I can see how
The seasons all repeat
And that love makes new things
Out of nothing that it needs

The generation born will grow
From all the crimes before
And then stack up with all the heads
That are piled outside your door

I understand that
I exist in the between
Of what was and what will be
In those blurry vision scenes

That appear but pass us by
And for a moment get you high
'Til you find your way back down
Become the truth you've found


8.Entrance Song

Lyricist:Stephanie Bailey, Geary Christian Bland, Kyle Hunt, Alexander
Maas, Nathaniel Ryan

Rolling fast down I-35
Supersonic overdrive
Rolling fast down I-35
Through the day and past the night

Rolling fast down I-45
Get ahead, going 109
Rolling fast down I-45
Bending time, feeling fine

Entrance song
Entrance song

Rolling fast down 75
Empty road, moonlit sky
Rolling fast down 75
Cutting through like a knife

Rolling fast down I-35
Polarized into the light
Rolling fast down I-35
Interstellar hyper drive

Entrance song
Entrance song


9.Phosphene Dream

Lyricist:Stephanie Bailey, Geary Christian Bland, Kyle Hunt, Alexander
Maas, Nathaniel Ryan

The sky is blue and you are too
I feel like running
Your eyes are red and mine are too
I feel like laughing

The wind said nothing
Nothing at all
It all meant someone
Was gonna fall

In the middle of summer
No one haunts me like you do

Mom and Dad look old again
Where am I heading?
My two sisters miss me, yes
Without me knowing

It all meant something
Something to us all
The wind said nothing
Nothing at all

In the middle of winter
No one haunts me like you do
In the middle of winter
No one haunts me like you

Our president was dead to us
Hallelujah
He takes his pills so he can kill
Praise the Bible

I need no pills to kill
Hallelujah
I need no pills to kill
Raise the rifle

Oh, the phosphene dream
The phosphene dream
Oh, the phosphene
The phosphene dream

Oh, the phosphene dream
The phosphene dream
Oh, the phosphene dream
The phosphene


10.River Of Blood

Trail away, an endless day*
It happens once in your life
To be enthroned, in your home
Well, meet me by the drum
Amen

(River of blood, river of blood)
(River of blood, river of love)

Wreckin' days, you're flawless in ways,
We break for the countryside
The rebels were all shocked to find
No food or guns in those mines
You're sitting ducks (river of blood)
On this river of blood,
On this river of

Safe to stay, streams of red and grey,
It happens once in a while
A freedom chase, right next to me,
You've brought them their last wife
But, it's not enough (river of blood)
On this river of blood
On this river of
On this river of

I hear footsteps coming near us
They're getting louder, I am frightened
This is it yeah, we are ready!

Superkilling rings headed for me,
You're too damn human darlin'
New voices spinning in circles
I'll do what they tell me,
If they get me

You and I, will never know,
Probably be dead by tomorrow
You and I, will never know
You and I, you can know you and I
It wasn't like they told me
(I can't believe we got away)
This isn't like they told me
In the same room,
With the same blood,
Speaking freely,
Talking has never been so easy

On this river of blood
On this river of
On this river of


11.Melanie's Melody


I do like Melanie as much as I like you*
She is sweet, like the kisses that I get from you
To me
A basket full of pretty things yeah
Between us

In my dreams everything's orange
In my dreams everything's orange

When she starts moving yeah
She's so natural
You better follow lead
In my dreams everything's orange

I do like melodies as much as I like you
They are tough, its like the kisses were never enough for me
To you
A pocket full of pretty evil things
Between us
In my dreams everything's foreign
In my dreams everything's foreign

When she starts moving yeah
She's so beautiful
You better follow lead
When she starts moving you better go with her

In my dreams I will follow her

I can't lie, I was only with her and then I found you
In my dreams everything's foreign
Between us
In my dreams everythings foreign
