Captain Black Heart | LYRICS
01 Of Things To Come
I know these roads
I’ve been here before
Too many times I’m sure
Two roads, I’ve travelled yours
Drank from purses
I kissed you in the bushes
Bruised by time
Morning light drives fear
Into those that are alive
Towards the cliffs we crawl
Towards that mountain wall
Just one thing
Before I sing
To you
I know this place that I found
A long time ago
We could take it fast
Or we can take it slow
The sky’s so much better there
It looks like a painting
You follow me and I’ll follow you
Take the low road
To your doorstep
And knock on the door
It’s me and my old tired suit
Like a nightingale
I’ve come to sing
To you
I’m calling, calling you angel
I wanna forget this life
With you
I’ll grow a beard
You’ll die your hair
We’ll go somewhere
No one will know
And we’ll notice things
We forgotten for years
Like the way your lips feel
When I kiss you goodnight
02 Slide
I wanna walk through the footsteps
Of your heart
I wanna look at the moonlight
Through your eyes
I wanna climb through the windows
Of your soul
‘Cause there I can hide away
I want to slide away with you
So now, don’t let time pass you by
Like a clock that always waves goodbye
I found the sun now I wanna run
To the sunset with you
‘Cause there I can hide away
I want to slide away
I don’t wanna run away
Hold me right away
I stumble and fall
Whenever I’m around you
And I cried for me
I cried for you joyfully
I love the way
That you see the world
And you make the hurt all go away
You make it all go away
Jedna mala plava
Na ramenu me spala
03 Surf
Don’t you think that they should
Just drop the bomb?
‘Cause it just doesn’t matter
Anymore
So there you have it
What it means to me to be living
So I’ll just sit here
Curled up on the floor
Maybe it’s not too late
Maybe you can make my world
A brighter place
Is there something wrong with me?
Or is there something I just can’t see?
Well, all the love I tried to give
Come back to me
All of my soul is tripping
By the water I sit and listen
As all my thoughts
Now one become a speech
Maybe it’s not too late
Maybe you can make my world
A brighter place
If you close your eyes forever
Maybe you can find
A bigger place
Tell me something that I don’t know
I don’t know this
Maybe it’s not too late
Maybe you can make my world
A brighter place
If you close your eyes forever
Maybe you can find
A bigger place
04 Kill The Band
D… D… D… I’m calling you out
Where have you been old friend?
Have you figured it out?
I can’t stop thinking about
How fast the years fly by
Man, are we getting old?
Stop the music
Stop the band
Dance to the silence
In your head
Let’s go, go, go
Come on, let’s just go
I can’t stand this shitty city no more
I can’t stop
I can’t stop this bleeding
Are we the hopeful?
Or are we just damned?
Stop the music
Kill the band
Dance to the silence
In your head
You falling faster
Than a cannonball
After all these years
You don’t know me at all
05 Martina (I’m A Lonely Planet)
Driving in my car
Mexico is far
It’s time you take the wheel
Then I fell in love
With a flying dove
Never thought I could feel so real
Or anything like that
I said, hold on
I said, I’m too scared to feel anything
I feel weird inside
‘Cause something’s just not right
Did I let you go?
How could I have known
That I’d never see you again?
So much time has past
How much time can you spend
Wondering what could’ve been?
Tell me why did you leave?
I said, so long
I said, I’m hanging on to the end
What you mean to me
What you seem to be
Out on the boardwalk down where she would sway
In the moonlight she would always play
On the boardwalk is where I want to stay
Out on the boardwalk down where she would sway
In the moonlight she would always play
On the boardwalk is where I want to stay
Out on the boardwalk down where she would lay
In the moonlight she would always play
On the boardwalk is where I want to stay
06 Turn Off The World
My Dad, he painted these pictures
Of lonely birds flying away
Up to the sky
He said, “Son, take a look at them
Try and be one of them
Don’t look back
Don’t let your feet
Touch the ground”
He said it’s gonna get
Heavy for one man to lift
Heavy, you won’t wanna live
Someday youth will pass you by
Hope you get it right
A loser
A joker
A sinner
That’s all I’ve become
A laugher
A taker
A misery maker
You laugh, but it’s not fun
He said it’s gonna get
Heavy for one man to lift
Heavy, you won’t wanna live
Someday youth will pass you by
Hope you get it right
“Dear old Dad
The best times I’ve had
Have been listening to your words
‘Cause now I see
How a man like me
Can easily lose all hope
So please show me how
To make these clowns disappear”
Just the other day
I found a map to a miracle
All wrinkled and torn
I opened it and this is how it read
“Turn off the world
If it makes you hurt”
If it makes you hurt
Turn off the world
07 Dead Crows
Hey you, inside the darkness
Are you holding on tight?
You’re busy getting nowhere
Holding on for life
So you think you know just who you are
The ghosts are right behind you
They’ll catch us again
The top down, feel the air
Running through your hair
I don’t wanna stop
Because I know that I just might rot
I look into the mirror
The lights in there are dim
And I wonder where I’m going
I wonder where you’ve been
So you think you know just who you are
The ghosts are right behind you
They’ll catch us again
The top down, feel the air
Running through your hair
I don’t wanna stop
Because I know that I just might rot
Hey you, in the darkness
Are you holding on tight
To all the dead crows?
08 Sundowner
When you cry to me
I drown inside the melody
When you cry to me
Violins playing to the gallery
Through the night, don’t it sound good?
When you’re down, you feel good
When you lie to me
Oh, don’t ever point that gun at me
When you lie to me
You kiss my lips so gently
Through the night
Oh, the sun as it shines on your face
You see darkness
And our love slowly dies, it whispers
I got nothing to live for
I tried to warn you
But you were out of your head
You’ll come running back
To me
It’s been raining for days
On a river called “Your Crying Years”
And just like magic
I watch you disappear
Through the night
When you’re down, you’re freaky
Oh, the sun as it shines on your face
You see darkness
When you love and hide
The way that you’re feeling
How does it get this far?
You were out of your head
No one will love you
Like I do
09 I Won’t Bother You No More
We tremble like leaves
As we fall from the trees
The garden, it grows
Over yonder, it explodes
Lord, I tried
So order the wine
And I’ll curse the fine sky
Burning red over you
You tear out my heart
I tear out your soul
I wrote a song
But I just can’t find the tune
Lord, I tried
I won’t bother you no more
When everything’s black
And you can’t take it back
Your dreams run away
And your heart does the same
We tremble in fear
As we get close, as we get near
The garden, it burns
Have you learned nothing?
Tell me where does it hurt?
Lord, I tried
I won’t bother you no more
When everything’s black
And you can’t take it back
Dreams run away
And your heart does the same
10 Slow Vein
I’m in you, you’re in me
Like warm water by the sea
You know you make me feel
Lovin’ all right
But at any time, it just flies away
Like you did that day
I’m in you, you’re in me
I catch you dreaming by the sea
When you look west
Stare at the sunset
I see how beautiful
You really are
Well, I didn’t hear you call my name
For eleven years, oh so many tears
When you went away, well you know
That I’d sing for you, put you in a song
This plane in my vein is taking off
With something that I didn’t know
About you
I wanna hide
I wanna tear down
The feeling of the ceiling
Closing in on me
‘Cause it’s taking away
Everything that I love
Well, I didn’t hear you call my name
For a thousand years, oh so many tears
When you went away, well you know
That I’d sing for you, put you in a song
This plane in my vein is taking off
With something that I didn’t know
About you
* * * * *
I’m high as a kite
With all of my might
