Apocalypso

The Motels Apocalypso Lyrics
1.Only The Lonely

We walked the loneliest mile
We smiled without any style
We kiss altogether wrong, no intention

We lied about each others dreams
We lived without each other thinkin'
What anyone would do without me and you

It's like I told you, only the lonely can play
It's like I told you, only the lonely can play

So hold on, here we go
Hold on to nothin' we know
I feel so lonely way up here

We mention the time we were together
So long ago, well, I don't remember
All I know is that it makes me feel good now

It's like I told you, only the lonely can play
It's like I told you, only the lonely can play
Only the lonely, only the lonely can play

Only the lonely, only the lonely can play
Only the lonely, only the lonely can play
It's like I told you, only the lonely can play


2.Art Fails

Life tears,
Money screams,
Love aches,
Art fails
But I don't want you to see me this way.

They lied
I cried
You found
what I could be not
I don't want you to see me this way.

See what you need,
See what you found,
See what you've done.
I cried out loud.

Tenders touch
Pain grab
Face flush
Try to stand
No I don't want you to see me this way.

All alone
Some forgot
You could maybe
I could not
No I don't want you to see me this way.

Hold me for a moment
Hold me if you can
Hold me just a second
In the face of all I am
Damned

Life tears,
Money screams,
Love aches,
Art fails
But I don't want you to see me this way.

Hollock heals
Art fails
But I don't want you to see me this way.
I don't want you to see me this way.

I don't want you to see me this way.
This way, this way, this way

5.So L.A.

Walk of the town on a sun burned night
Keep in mind the dream so nice
Walk of the night that seemed so new
All of it is up to you

Jimmy cracked when he came out her
Precious dream never seemed so clear
Now he practiced a thousand times
The city that should have been his that night

And the man on the corner got something new
And something new is good for you tonight
Oh, oh, it's so L.A.

Walk of the woman that came to say
She come and walk there every day
He speciality was you, and she
Dream the same but incomplete

And the man on the corner got something new
And something new is good for you tonight
Oh, oh, it's so L.A.

Walk of time as time goes on
Walk of pain as pains prolonged
And the dream and the woman and the time and you
Are all very welcome to Hollywood

And the man on the corner got something new
And something new is good for you tonight
Oh, oh, it's so L.A.


6.Apocalypso

They dance all night at Los Café
Gina likes it very good that way
Moon beams, air full of light
Perfumed pleasure scent the night

And the hopeful young caress with care
The girl, the boy and the night that's theirs

He stumble, fumble with her dress
Tonight forever, she'll be his
No day, no tomorrow
The children making love out of sorrow
No tomorrow, they know
They dance Apocalypso now

Apocalypso now
Apocalypso now

And the hopeful young caress with care
The girl, the boy and the night that's theirs

Apocalypso now
Apocalypso now

And the hopeful young caress with care
The girl, the boy and the night that's theirs
And the hopeful young caress with care
The girl, the boy and the night that's theirs


7.Mission Of Mercy

'I can't give up' I heard him say the day he left
Fadin' footsteps on hot cement
I don't know where he went but he left in a hurry
Sayin' something about a mission of mercy

Mama hasn't been sleepin' well at all
As she lies stretched out in the hall
Waiting for him to call

Now the mercy of his mission still isn't quite clear
He had a different angle than what it would appear
I don't know where he went but he left in a hurry
He sayin' something about a mission of mercy

Mama hasn't been sleepin' well at all
As she lies stretched out in the hall
Waiting for him to call us please someday
At least you could explain, call us please someday
I never knew mercy could feel this way

Mama hasn't been sleepin' well at all
As she lies stretched out in the hall
Doesn't seem like my mama at all
She's waiting for him to call us please someday
At least you could explain, call us please someday
I never knew mercy could feel this way
