Notes From A Ceiling

The Mess Hall Notes From A Ceiling Lyrics
1.Diddley

There was a boy and a lady
And between them seven birthdays
And they grew old, and they grew happy
Til she was called for, and he went crazy

He said between love and affection,
I lost something that i needed
Something i lost here to breathe in
And between love and affection,
I lost something to believe in
Something i liked here to breathe in

She finds herself lost in the city
But the buildings, they are all broken
And on the pavements, full of confessions
She took a stone and carved directions

Somewhere between love and affection
'Cause he lost something to believe in
Something he lost here to breathe in
But wax on his bones
He checked out off every angle
Every part they had to find him
Every part that we've roamed

He spied the pavement with all its direction
And followed a half-ride to where she was sleeping
Alone
I can't go running by her window
He lost his faith from every angle
She waits to see the love, love, love
Love to be for a ?
The time has come to comprehend this
So take my hand
And now, as one, begin again


2.Pills

Welcome to the sound of my head
My weary head
I can't, can't, can't
Step back and look your way

'Cause your sad face makes me wanna
Drop another pill
Yeah your sad face makes me wanna
Drop another pill

Steal another kiss from my lips
One more today
I can't, can't, can't
Land one that looks my way

But your sad face makes me wanna
Drop another pill
Yeah your sad face makes me wanna
Drop another pill

Another pill
Another pill
Another pill
Damn watching in the alleyway

I follow you around on sundays
With my weary head
I can't, can't, can't
(find) my way outta here

'Cause your sad face makes me wanna
Drop another pill
Yeah your sad face makes me wanna
Drop another pill

Another pill
Another pill
Another pill
Damn watching in the alley

Dying oh my
I see the sunshine
Saying oh my
I see the sunshine
Saying oh hell
I'll find you somehow
Saying oh my
I see the sunshine
Watching in the alleyway

Get on the back, back on the code black
Get on the back, back on the code black
Back on the code, back on the code black
Watching in the alleyway


3.Call It Black

I took my blues from the counter change
I ain't advocating
Falling this ocean then i wake up with you
So i miss the morning haze
Got the news for the right day
With all night eyes and foreign currency

To cover what's naked if i call it black
Shake all of my attention
If my bullets, they find a way to your reflection
If my cancerous eyes are being unkind
Honey i can make a change here in the static with you

I put my letters into quarantine
Turn from we're understanding
Falling down is a second chance to see
These cancerous eyes of mine
So outfoxed and faded
Drowned in a chance the leave the future behind

To cover what's naked if i call it black
Shake all of my attention
If my bullets, they find a way to your reflection
If my cancerous eyes are being unkind
Honey i can make a change here in the static with you

Call it now, make a change
Call it now, make a change
I've been thinking how the moss looks pretty
Dressed in the daylight, living in the city?
If hounds of chrome are smiling again
Take a breath, dial up an old friend

If i call it black
Shake all of my attention
If my bullets, they find a way to your reflection
If my cancerous eyes are being unkind
Honey i can make a change stuck in a memory -

If i call it black
Shake all of my attention
If my bullets, they find a way to your reflection
If my cancerous eyes are being unkind
Honey i can make a change stuck in a memory with you

5.Skyline

I jump into the skyline
And look the other way
A black bird took me from your eyes
Then you vanished from the frame
Everything it moves, just nothing to say
A black bird took me from your eyes
Then you walked the other way
To go..

I jump into the skyline
From the shadow of a mix
All that's before and beyond is what was in between
Waiting in a line-up
I can't speak
You took the silence here before me and the memories of a stream

The first in line will change your mind
While the next will come for free
Followed by a swollen invitation to a place on my bed

Tangled in a short breath
Asking where i am
I breathe but i don't feel a thing
With my hand over my cheek
I call for what's below me
Count down to 3
I see the stars and the city exploding from my feet

The first in line will change your mind
While the next will come for free
Followed by a swollen invitation to a place on my bed

And it's one step over the edge tonight
One step over the edge tonight

Now i see everything
Burned by the fire as i fall from grace

The first in line will change your mind
While the next will come for free
Followed by a swollen invitation to a place on my bed

And it's one step over the edge tonight
One step over the edge tonight


6.Shaky Ground

Oh my girl your soul
Is washed in blood so old
But I'm much to blame
To call your bluff today
On this here shaky ground

The places that you've seen
Are right there at your feet
They twitch in front of me
With the memories that you keep
On this here shaky ground

The nights they seem so long
And then the morning comes
Its there in your silent charms
That I find this calm
I ride on home with you
But I don't have to stay
But I'll take a chance all the same

And these late night rendez-vous
And reruns of hill street blues
The worlds we choose
Be careful what you lose
On this here shaky ground
On this here shaky ground
On this here shaky ground


7.Metal And Hair

Good morning to you baby, did i wake you
I'm stuck inside the middle of my abc's
The dawn has run me around
I'm shuffling around the room just like a chimpanzee

Like a ghost flying into the air
I separate myself into opposite pairs
Like pieces of metal and hair
One without the other and you just don't care

If i'm standing in the middle of a freeze-frame
Please don't lie for me
We're thanking everybody with the air-whipped cream and a can

Good morning to the brothers of a streetlight
They flew me back to kansas on a one-way flight
With pieces of metal and hair
One without the other and they just don't care

Like i go flying into the air
I separate myself into opposite pairs
Like pieces of metal and hair
One without the other and you just don't care

If i'm standing in the middle of a freeze-frame
Please don't lie for me
We're thanking everybody with the air-whipped cream in a can

From santa to santa, the man takes what he needs
From santa to santa, the man takes what he needs

Good morning to you baby, did i wake you
I'm stuck inside the middle of my abc's
The dawn has run me around
I'm shuffling around the room just like a chimpanzee

Like a ghost flying into the air
I separate myself into opposite pairs
Like pieces of metal and hair
One without the other and you just don't care

If i'm standing in the middle of a freeze-frame
Please don't lie for me
We're thanking everybody with the air-whipped cream in a can


8.Disco 2

Where's, where's that other side to you
Where's, where's that other side to you
You're more than just a, another face in the
You're more than just a, another face in the
You're more than just a, another face in the crowd

I said we'll do it, and do it like we just woke up
I said we'll do it, and do it like we just woke up
I said the nights are crowned from the cigarettes down
So let's wake now and waltz into a better day

Where's, where's that other side to you
Tagged, divided and kept for you
A man likes to, he likes to dig up a
A man likes to, he likes to dig up a
A man likes to, he likes to dig up a curse

I said we'll do it, and do it like we just woke up
I said we'll do it, and do it like we just woke up
I said the night is crowned from the cigarettes down
So let's wake now and waltz into a better day

Where's, where's that other side to you
Where's, where's that other side to you
You're more than just a, another face in the
You're more than just a, another face in the
You're more than just a, another face in the crowd

I said we'll do it, and do it like we just woke up
I said we'll do it, and do it like we just woke up
I said the night is crowned from the cigarettes down
So let's wake now and waltz into a better day

10.Red Eyes And Sunshine

Men will trade nothing for your flesh tonight
Not a lonely dances talk
The girls will dance in black and white
And dream in gold

You'll be travelling home
Calling from some old telephone
Splendid things will be erased
The day the world, refuse your change today

I've been told, that what you saw,
Will find its way, stray someday
While we sleep, you drill our dreams,
With red eyes and sunshine a crown becomes a landslide again

The men will dust their suits today
And search for things to say
While grief is on the scent again
We all behave

A photo may relay a smile
To a single memory missed
So rest upon your mother's chest
She wears that pretty dress for you today

I've been told, that what you saw,
Will find its way, stray today
While we sleep, you drill our dreams
With red eyes and sunshine the ground becomes a landslide

Behind the grave
A lady blaze above the (cross)'s (?) way
Walk away
To set you up beyond the daylight
