1.Trust Me I'm A Thief
Lyricist:Michael Henry Lynch, Kevin Gerard May
Take in the restless nature
The promise of a bold adventure
Careful what you wish for
Careful what you wish
Oh, the devil's in the details
Baby, shoot straight
Bay box clever
Speak in tongues of gold and silver
Careful what you wish for
Careful what you wish
Oh, the devil's in the details
Trust me, trust me
I'm a thief
Please, be quick and swear forever
We can draw the stars together
Careful what you wish for
Careful what you wish
Oh, the devil's in the details
Cross your heart and hope to die
Stick a needle in your eye
Careful what you wish for
Careful what you wish
Oh, the devil's in the details
Trust me, trust me
I'm a thief
Trust me, trust me
I'm a thief
Promises break, that's what they do
Scorpions sting, that's what they do
Hurricanes take, that's what they do
Just like I'm gonna steal a piece of you
Trust me, I'm a thief
Trust me, I'm a thief
Trust me, I'm a thief
2.Map Of The Human Heart
Lyricist:Michael Henry Lynch, Kevin Gerard May
Doh, doh, doh, doh
Following a feeling
Marching in the snow
And we are, we are
Only just begun
Can you keep a secret
I never felt it so
And we are, we are
Only just begun
The stars cry, they are strangers
They come from worlds apart
They are strangers, they're marching
For a map of the human heart
Together falling headlong
Steady as she goes
And we are, we are
Only just begun
The stars cry, they are strangers
They come from worlds apart
They are strangers, they're marching
For a map of the human heart
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Doh, doh, doh, doh
3.Wings And Feathers
Maybe we're mad, it's possible*
You're talking again
Like your books and your movies sings
I'm throwing myself at the world like a lunatic
You're a rocket exploding like spiders across the sky
Tonight we take the city
The marrow and the fringes
We'll set our dogs on beauty
We're growing wings and feathers
We'll drink the wine that moves us
And if we don't break
We're not trying hard enough
Oooh...
Baby you're mad, you're incredible
And I can't resist you
You and your crazy talk
Tonight we take the city
The marrow and the fringes
We'll set our dogs on beauty
We're growing wings and feathers
We'll drink the wine that moves us
And if we don't break
We're not trying hard enough
4.Never Before
Lyricist:Michael Henry Lynch, Kevin Gerard May
Never before and never since then
Have I seen grass grow so high
And so when I reach for her now
There's just the wash of grain in my mind
Ooh, I let her slide
I let her slide
And if I could recall just one of her eyes
I could comfort the other side
But of all of the cells in my head, the first ones to die
Were the ones that held her inside
Ooh, I let her slide
I let her slide, ooh
Ooh, I let her slide
I let her slide
5.Concentrate
Lyricist:Michael Henry Lynch, Kevin Gerard May
If I concentrate I can see your curve
The length of you in silhouette
And if I concentrate I can hear your voice
I will tremble those when you get upset
If I really try, the moon appears
It's come a very long way
To play with your head
And the soles of your feet
Are pressed against my skin
But that's where it fades
Yeah, that's how it ends
Though I concentrate
Yes, I concentrate
Oh
If I concentrate, if I give my all
The fog of thoughts evaporate
If I concentrate, I can disappear
Like a ringing church 'neath the perfect lane
And if I lose myself the world appears
Shaking the gold of the sun from her hair
And the soul of the sea is pressed against my mind
Joy in the air, arms open wide
And I concentrate
Yes, I concentrate
Yes, I concentrate
Yes, I concentrate
Oh
6.Wisdom
The road is long
You're gonna get thrown about
Stick to the rhythm
Breathe it in and breath it out
Do what you do, there isn't any secret
Chop wood, draw water, roll cigarettes
Find a lover, put a flower in her hair
Climb a mountain, see the mountain disappear
Be the first to go back to the ghost town
Break bread with the man that's gonna bring you down
Deep, deep down
I listen and I hear what's said
I follow it from a to zed
But wisdom hasn't found me yet
You're feeling scared, Jesus is your bodyguard
You feel alone, take a look in your backyard
Put your eye to the eye of a telescope
The universe looks back through a microscope
Adopt a highway, dress yourself in camel hair
A wasted life is a life lived unaware
Make money, put it on a number eight
Tempt fate, maybe you're a wheel goin' round
Round and round
I listen and I hear what's said
I follow it from a to zed
But wisdom hasn't found me yet
7.Ruby Heart
Lyricist:Michael Henry Lynch, Kevin Gerard May
Something, something is about to happen
I feel it in my heart a thumping
I'm fired up my thoughts are spinning
This could be what I've been waiting
Waiting for someone to deliver
Saving bottle caps forever
Now I'm running to the door to answer
I really should know better
I've been here before with my arms apart
With a maestro waiting for his show to start
Oh be still, oh be still ruby heart
Hear it, hear it on the tracks, it's coming
Put a glass against the wall, she's singing
She's putting on a dress to meet me
There a whisper in the trees a blowing
A promise of a new beginning
This could be why I've been waiting
This could be my second coming
I really should know better
I've been here before with my arms apart
With a maestro waiting for his show to start
Oh be still, oh be still ruby heart
Oh be still, oh be still ruby heart
Oh be still till you know what you got
Oh be still, oh be still ruby heart
Oh be still, oh be still ruby heart
Oh be still, oh be still ruby heart
Oh be still, oh be still ruby heart
8.Spiegel Song
Reality sits well with him
It's obvious, it's evident
He never folds his arms
He lets them hang
Picks his words as if he knew
The flat man hiding with a new
He never folds his arms
He lets them hang
So what's on his mind
Does it somersault like mine
Play rabbit and weasel
Yeah, what's on his mind
Does he keep his head in line
en spiegel
Oh oh oh oh...
Everyone has troubled thoughts
Jesus wept, and Krishna fought
But he never folds his arms
He lets them hang
He'll play them like a violin
Reality sits well with him
But he never folds his arms
He lets them hang
So what's on his mind
Does it somersault like mine
Play rabbit and weasel
Yeah, what's on his mind
Does he keep his head in line
En spiegel
So what's on his mind
Does it somersault like mine
Play rabbit and weasel
Yeah, what's on his mind
Does he keep his head in line
En spiegel
9.The Universe Is Laughing
October throws herself before my feet
And the sky goes powder blue
Holding her breath for me
I never thought myself a city shoe
But it's made of gold today
And it breaks my heart in two
Cause I want to hold onto it
But there's nothing to hold
And the universe is laughing
Cause all a boy can really do is watch a boy unfold
We were listening to this city hum and hush
Lying perfect in the dark
I felt you tremble neath my touch
Was it everything we love we can't explain
Like if the world should disappear
Only music will remain
And I want to hold onto it
But there's nothing to hold
And the universe is laughing
Cause all a boy can really do is watch a boy unfold
And I want to hold onto it
But there's nothing to hold
And the universe is laughing
Cause all a boy can really do is watch a boy unfold
And the galaxies, the galaxies are howling
The silent moon, a kick of pink and gold
And the whole damn universe is laughing
And all a boy can really do is watch a boy unfold
10.Diamond
Lyricist:Michael Henry Lynch, Kevin Gerard May
Not everyone sees the things you see
The lightning between the trees
Not everyone tastes the things you taste
The salt in being wicked, the sugar on your knees
So don't you dare lose faith
Hang your boots on the nail
Turn yourself into a man in uniform
'Cause this sorry old world needs diamonds like you
Darling, you're a diamond through and through
Darling, you're a diamond true
For every heart that's true, there's a thousand hungry ghosts
Passing through each other on the street
And for everyone that sees, no one ever wins the war
There's an army marching blindfold to the beat
Don't you dare to turn cold
Throw your towel in the rain
Drink the water from the well and fall asleep
'Cause this sorry old world needs diamonds like you
Darling, you're a diamond through and through
Darling, you're a diamond through and through
Darling, you're a diamond true
