Penance Soiree

The Icarus Line Penance Soiree Lyrics
1.Spike Island

Lyricist:Joe Cardamone

Fell down this old road and I don't care
If you roll on your sides, I seen a ghost
In the future, sometimes it gets hard to hide
If you need somethin', don't let me know
Subtle substance control turns to overflow
I gotta get my connect

I saw her in the bathroom drinkin' vodka
She must have been a sweet nothin'
Dope let's her slide, looks she can't hide
Heroin hands can't keep her clean
She needs another way out

Let's drink until we come
Later on we're sailin' on
It gets to you when I say this stuff
But I know what I'm doin'
Just ask me what I'm doin'

We are alone, we are alone, we are alone
We are together, fashionably numb

Drive this town into the ground
Lose the places that we found together
There's never nothing right
There's never nothing right
Let's stay connected

We are alone, we are alone, we are alone
We live together
Fashionably numb, perpetually spun
Seen you breathin' out your eyes, surprise

We are alone, we are alone
We live forever, forever, forever


2.Caviar

Lyricist:Joe Cardamone

Looking like she needs a miracle
Out here so late, just looking for a drug
Give her something so she can fall in love
True love hits like death from above
Let's dance to the beat of a different drug

She wants to feel real
Let's get protection out of thin air
We sell injection
Give me perfection

I'll sleep on the floor
Tell them you were alone, they'll call you a whore
Domesticated, devastated
There's no bright side, you'll make more
Bitch, pay for my ride


3.Virgin Velcro

Lyricist:Joe Cardamone

Little broken girl looking for something
Lips the bottle like, she's ready for the night
Your hands so small in mine fits perfectly
I want what you got, give a little more

She's gonna lose her teeth
It feels like she's on top
She is the wounded sex
Advances dancing over her

We ain't the lucky ones
Wrecking into golden penetration
Dirty little whore finally found her feet
On the street

Ambulance chaser crash
She swept into anything she sees
More than hands this time
Fits of ecstacy, she don't want to stop

Kiss hard to make it last, we don't need no priest
She ain't the lucky one when it never comes

Wear the cross that carries you
Around this town that's how we know you
Wear the cross that carries you
Around this town that's how we know


4.On the Lash

Lyricist:Joe Cardamone

Feel like something's always been wrong
Love of life is hitting way too strong
May be we were born too late
May be not born at all

Let's try and cure your latest pains
Prescribe the life that's driving me insane
Tragic turn of fatal flaws, my heart's burnt to black
Feel like the storms come to cut me down
On the lash, it's time to get the hell out of this town

Attention spans a moment's escape
These escapes they come so small
Tragic turns and curses the walls
Mine ain't coming back, but I can fake it

All the best learn to live life like a vampire
And tell their stories to the campfire
Doesn't everybody know they gotta lose themselves once in a
while?
Sleep all day just to kill time, let the sun slide out of the
sky

Doesn't everybody know?
I can feel it Can't you feel it now? Feels like stealing
Come on let's start the healing, gimme feeling


5.Getting Bright at Night

Lyricist:Joe Cardamone

Stealing never felt so good
Spoiled teens wish us well, as they should
Feeling lower than low babe, every day
Getting higher than high, starting to fade away

I won't fall in love anymore, I won't fall
Loose lips sink ships, so let's just be friends
Stay up all the time now, never crash again
Glass on the carpet cuts our faces

Girl's green eyes destroy everyday
(Now that feels great)
I don't want to fall in love anymore
But I can't stop falling in love
And stimulation fits like a glove

Got no soul? Girl, I'll die laughing
Die alone, all by my accident
While I'm awake for days
Surreal sways on the way

I'm getting tired of missing every morning
But never give up on me babe

Oh God, I been dancing in the darkness again
And I don't love anyone
Oh God, I been messing with the forces again
And I don't know what I've done


6.Meatmaker

Lyricist:Joe Cardamone

Trying to get clean just kept him out
You know you lose your head when you fuck with that stuff
Time, time, time, time, time he got the most
Time, time, time he got the most

Got loaded, got locked up again
He said he don't have any real friends

Get loaded, locked up again
He said he don't have any real friends
He'll talk about choking you in your sleep
His momma don't want him around her kids

His momma don't want him around her kids


7.Party The Baby Off

Lyricist:Joe Cardamone

If everybody's trying to die
Get it on, take your pills to the bathroom
And cry

Told her not to sleep on her side
She sleeps and winks and I think I know what stinks

Mom, I live in hell
Speak slow so I can say

Told her that I shall not lie
But motherfuckers do what they have to
Beat your face black and blue

Mom, I live in hell
Speak slow so I can tell
Just to see it through
Let's see some dedication

It's the kind of thing thing I love
Tonight, take off all your clothes
Take off all your clothes

You take too much pills
But still pay the bills
I can excuse that
Where did the cat go?

Legends come then they go
Here we come, here we go
Take off all your clothes
Take off all your clothes

Take off all your clothes
Take off all your clothes
Take off all your clothes
Take off all your clothes

Take off of this girl
Take off all your clothes
Take off all your clothes


8.Up Against The Wall Motherfuckers

Lyricist:Joe Cardamone

Swimming in addiction
Broadcast children live in fiction
Awake in lying shame
Tweaked twilight sighs as she counts her money

Devils got my brain, all narrow escapes
Don't want to feel her hands again
When fever blisters remember this advice
Believe in your own lies.

I couldn't quite describe all the tricks in your look
If comfort in skin comes from within
Then why can't I get some for free?
Come on Lord, everybody's trying to die these days

Sinking in oblivion, keep constant love affairs
Angel got my heart
Holds hard the pieces so it don't fall apart
We can hear you talk
Got secret spies to tape you in the dark.

I couldn't quite describe all the tricks in your look
If comfort in skin comes from within
Then why can't I get some for free?
Come on Lord, everybody's trying to die these days

Doll, don't live off the edge
Sleep in bed alone
Blood dripping down her nose
Getting it all over her clothes

Guess comfort in skin, don't come from within
She looks like she could use some help
I might have to help myself
Lord, Lord, Lord, they are gonna crucify me, yeah

I can't stop thinking about what I'm gonna do to you


9.Losing Touch With My Mind

Lyricist:Peter John Kember, Jason Pierce

I'm losing, losing touch with my mind
I'm falling, falling way behind
I'm walking, down a one way street
I'm trying, trying to find my feet

I need it, babe, it makes me feel alright
I need it, babe, it makes me feel alright, alright, alright

I'm leaving but I'm going no place
I'm thinking but my mind's in space
I'm hoping, hoping to find my head
I'm aiming but I don't take the blame

I need it, babe, it makes me feel alright
I need it, babe, it makes me feel alright, alright, alright

I'm shooting, shooting off my gun
It's too bad now, babe, but it's a lot of fun
I'm living like you'd like to live
But I'm wanting you, baby, what you have to give

I need it, babe, it makes me feel alright
I need it, babe, it makes me feel alright, alright, alright

I feel alright, I feel alright
I feel alright, I feel alright
I feel alright, I feel alright
I feel alright
