I just wanna go to sleep one night

Dream of the pretty places that youre meant to you see in this life

Oh I just wanna close my eyes

And hold them tight

Bat away all those weary demons keeping me up with their troubled fights

But my body it feels restless in the wake and the whale of the time that I try to find the why and who and the only lonely care in that line of mine that keeps on marching to the beat of the pulse that kicks in and sways away from those shackles, those troubled shackles of another lonely day...

You're a leftist and a Marxist and a socialist and you're right

There ain't no politics for real justice in this all condemning strife

So when the cause goes to war
And you're floored by the flaws
As the totalitarians scoff the Trotskyists
With their insufferable prejudice you abhor
Stand firm to the fore
And demand something more
Cause their aint no justice in this life
Till we all answer to those silenced
By the ringing of that call

Swell that breeze you breathe
A breathless sigh
It's in the nothingness
You see the clear
So remember please
Me
The one who couldn't turn
And had to stare
Me
The one who loved
With a wondering eye
Remember please
No fortune favoured fortitude
For want of a fervent future
We'd always leave behind
I loved you once
And every other time
Ill love you always
Even though you're no longer mine

Those beasts of the dark
They keep banging on my heart
Banging on my heart
Darling

Those beasts of the wild
They wanna bring me down child
Gonna bring me down
And then some

So I take a sip of gin
And a tiny dip in ***
And I wait for it to run
And I hope to hell it howls
To quiet down those mouths
That keep banging on my heart
That keep breaking through the dark
That keep breaking me apart
Darling

Quiet down darling
Quiet down
Quiet down darling
I see you oh so clearly
Now I've let you near me
What you gonna do
To my heart and soul
What you gonna do
If I gave you control
Darling

Darling
You're a beast of the dark
And you're never getting hold
Of this tired old heart
Darling

You're a savage and a fiend
Bitter and you're mean
Even though I'm keen
To see the havoc that you'll reap
You're never getting in
This foolish old heart
Darling

A gypsy boy he told a few
Silent runs in the midnight moon
His stealth and grace gave
Him a stool to boast that pride
And push past fools

But you're only a fool
Once or twice,
He would find out, to his demise
When he next rolled
That seductive dice, lost his swagger
To some rats he thought were mice
The end result
You guessed it
Right?

Circle upon circle
I wanna cut you down
And drink you whole
I wanna break your will
Take away control
So lose yourself to this moment son
Smile, enjoy this little time you've won me over
Just this once
Oh, you've claimed a little of my aching soul today
You say you're mine
And I am yours you're sure this time
But circle upon circle
You keep changing on me
These thoughts are hell bent on a flutter
Wanting to break
Carry themselves off into that far off breeze
You catch me in a moment
And your thoughts are trying to figure out mine
But my minds not with you
It's started floating on by
Circle upon circle
You're spinning me away
From this grounded lover
Who says all he wants is for me to stay
Circle can you slow your cycle down
For this soulful other
Stave off this dismal ***** to give us one more day

You shot me down
In the tall long grass
Where I played cops and robbers
Where I smoked with my brothers
Where I laid down my lover
You shot me down
And you ain't coming back

All I got left
I'll say to your boots
You better run, son

Cause my folks they'll be questioning
And my brothers,  they'll reign in a reckoning
As soon as my lady's warm tears subside
She'll be following those boots
Close behind

You better run, son
Your days are numbered
And soon you'll meet my days
Of none
