Hey Casanova lyrics - Duncan Sheik
Hey Casanova
You don't look too good
But I know times are tough
You never found your paradise
Like you said you would
And it's all catching up
Maybe that will never change
You may never come to your promised land
And it's a gray morning
With all you have
Still you turn your back
You're given every chance
How can you ask more than that?
Still you have to ask
Hey tragic hero
Did you get passed by?
What do all those heathens know?
Have a seat, cup of wine
And have a good cry
And then it's time to go
'Cause you're living up to your own worst cases
Looking for hope in some pretty strange places
And it's a gray morning
With all you have
Still you turn your back
You're given every chance
How can you ask more than that?
Still you have to ask
I really need for you to ask
With all you have
Still you're turning, turning, oh
With all you have
Still you're turning, you're turning, oh
Hey you lone ranger
Is it cold tonight?
So far beneath the stars
Maybe the desert do you good
The Dawn's Request lyrics - Duncan Sheik
If I crack up
Lose my head
Try to hid beneath my bed
And leave the television on
So I don't think of what's gone wrong
I beg the dawn
Break through, save me
Rescue me
Wake me from the dead
My weary head in your embrace
If I spin out
And off the rails
Build myself a bed of nails
And take the whole world down with me
Into my dime-store tragedy
Where will you be?
Break through, heal me
Sing to me
Kneel beside my bed
My weary head in your embrace
Wake up, sunrise
I may be alone but I'm alive
And I will find a way to you
Sunrise, you saved me this time
You never even had to try
And you opened up my eyes
Sunrise, you treat me so kind
I was lost, I was blind
And you opened up my eyes
White Limousine lyrics - Duncan Sheik
I guess, they think it's what we want
A smooth and easy ride
Of constellations of ceiling lights
Hennessey and Naugahyde
America, America, this is our reward
Everything is boring, everyone is bored
Maybe a white
Maybe a white Limousine
Maybe a white, white
White, white Limousine
Who's the smart guy at the wheel
Runnin' out of gas
Likes to wear a flight suit
And fly around for laughs
Maybe a white
Maybe a white Limousine
Maybe a white, white
White, white Limousine
I feel incentives for the pharmacy
Hey, I'm feelin' better already
I don't want to be clear it's too much for me
I'm makin' up, oh, I'm makin' up
For lost time, for all the lost time
Maybe a white
Maybe a white Limousine
Maybe a white, white
White, white Limousine
Maybe a white
Maybe a white Limousine
Maybe a white, white
White, white Limousine
We have won the war
We have won the war
I Don't Believe In Ghosts lyrics - Duncan Sheik
Here and there
Haunting my closets and drawers
My evermore
Now and then
Forgetting that every thing's changed
I call her name
And I heard the stories
She tried to tell me
Don't believe in ghosts
I hear a sound
Maybe it's her coming home
But I'm alone
No, I've never seen one
I've never been one
I don't believe in ghosts
No, I won't think of her
I won't remember
I don't believe in ghosts
She knows
She knows
Nothing Fades lyrics - Duncan Sheik
Turning the wheel to emptiness
There when you breathe your final breath
No one to hold you anymore
Haven't they told you, baby
You're always alive
Always alive
Leaving the plane of time and space
Leaving the mask of every face
Just like the sun and every ray
Might as well smile 'cause baby
We all die one day
We all die one day
Not square, not round
The silence in the sound
Not short, not long
The quiet in the song
It carries you along
Some of the people here believe
Reading a book of prophesies
Some of you sigh and turn away
Nobody knows, so what's the play?
You're here now
You're here for now
What does it matter anyway
Whatever I sing or what you say
Taking a chance, we place a bet
It ain't gonna get you to black or red
This time around
This time around
No cause, no condition
Who knows your position?
Not you, no other
What will you discover?
You never disappear
So tell me why you fear
Neither are you born
Sometimes still you mourn
Never do you arise
You're never low or high
No one acts, no one is made
Nothing glows, nothing fades
Nothing fades, nothing fades
Nothing fades, nothing fades
Fantastic Toys And Corduroys lyrics - Duncan Sheik
One day maybe
When I grow up
A son you will have found
When I change my ways
One of these days
I know I'll make you proud
What I never say
Because of busy days
Is all I want for you
I'm just not the best
At being friends
But that's what we should do
When I see you happy,
When you laugh
I'm never sad
Fantastic toys
And corduroys
Everything you gave
Took me to school
I tried to be cool
And you let me get away with it
What I want to say
A thing I pray
For you to shine inside
The fighting words
How they sound absurd
when it's you who gave me life
When I see you happy
When you laugh
I'm never sad
I don't want to be sad
And you shouldn't be sad
We shouldn't be sad
What I never say
Because of busy days
Is all I want for you
I want to love
Like a mother's son
To always see you through
When I see you happy
When you laugh
I'm never sad
We shouldn't be sad
Shopping lyrics - Duncan Sheik
So you wrote me a letter
Which I thought was really kind
I don't recall which song it was
But there is one you really liked
And you asked me so innocently
Of my inspiration
Why I write the songs I sing
The reasons why I make them
Nothing here is what it seems
Risk the wreckage of your dreams
So that you are always shopping
To steal away the cash you're dropping
Listen to me when I say
Fantasies are built to fade
There you are, you're always shopping
Even try, there is no stopping
Don't misunderstand me
It always makes me smile
When I can serenade you
As you're rolling down the aisles
On this journey of your soul's desire
The paradise of goods
You're doing just exactly
What I think you should
Nothing here is what it seems
Risk the wreckage of your dreams
So that you are always shopping
While you roll, you're really rocking
Listen to me when I say
Fantasies are built to fade
There you are, you're always wanting
You don't have is always haunting
Still one thing I have to say
My confession's not complete
I've made is sound as if all this
Has nothing to do with me
Surely is not anything
Further from the truth
When I have pretty things to gain
And only useless things to lose
Wish there were another way
I must keep the wolves at bay
I hope that you don't find it shocking
Rock and roll is built on shopping
If you?re searching for my soul
Come check out my chains of gold
Grab your purse and let's go shopping
For lingerie and silky stockings
Let's go shopping together
So that we can find ourselves
So that we can buy ourselves
Let's go shopping together
'Cause we are always by ourselves
We are always by ourselves
Let's go shopping together
So that we can find ourselves
Star-Field On Red Lines lyrics - Duncan Sheik
Playground, homeland
A countryside to save
Blue skies, airspace
Soldiers to raise
And sacrifice
Strong armed Christians
Oiled up and fed
Safe as houses
Aprons of lead
And sanctified
Omens and signs
A star-field on red lines
Turn those blind eyes
To fantasies
And white lies
How much longer
This empire of night
The smallest subjects
All begin to fight
And multiply
Omens and signs
A star-field on red lines
Turn those blind eyes
To fantasies
And white lies
Omens and signs
A star-field on red lines
Turn those blind eyes
To fantasies
And white lies
Head down
Brace yourself
Here it comes
Head down
Brace yourself
Here it comes
Head down
Brace yourself
Here it comes
Head down
Brace yourself
Here it comes
I Wouldn't Mind lyrics - Duncan Sheik
I wouldn't mind
if every day
was like the day
I had just yesterday
you and I
hanging on every kiss
on all of this
I wouldn't mind
if all of my nights
were like the nights
you held me so tight
your lips so close, so close
on the back of my neck
little sounds, little breaths
but these times
just won't stand still,
they slip away
and haunt me until
the next time
you take me
take me in again
and let me begin
I wouldn't mind
if all my big plans
fell apart
left me empty-handed
I'd start again, like new
if you're with me, how can I lose?
but these thoughts
are only just that
nice thoughts
and nothing like facts
and the facts as they are
are harder to take
cuz there's a part of me
that's ready to break
I'm afraid
yes I am afraid
that you will go
that you'll go away
and you'll leave
and I'll be ok
but I won't find
that I won't mind,
in time
I wouldn't mind
if things weren't as they are
I wouldn't care
if it weren't for my heart
that's why
still, I try
to give you every reason
Land lyrics - Duncan Sheik
I leave town, take a ride
Maybe see the countryside
All green and gold
I'll breathe a better air I'm told
The city life is fine
But is seems like all the time
It's and uphill climb
And I never draw the line
This land, this land
The soil turns to sand and stone
You could build a home
A little place to be alone
I'm worried about the world
I'm worried too about a girl
That's nothing new
And there's too much else to do
Take a man, any man
Then I start to understand
What he believes
Becomes the very land he sees
And it sets him free
Tranquility, a way to be
I'm gonna clear my head
Walk along the riverbed
I'm gonna play a song
And hope it finds her further on
I cleared my head
Heard just what the river said
I made a song
It'll find you further on
Now I'm far away
From the troubles of the day
Another way
Another way to pray
Take a man, any man
Then I start to understand
What he believes
Becomes the very land he sees
This land, this land
Here it is, I understand
What I believe
Becomes the very land I see
It sets me free
Heart of me, a way to be
So Gone lyrics - Duncan Sheik
How many times on this merry-go-round
Over and over again
Up on that horse was a weak foolish child
Never believed it would end
How many smokes till I'm satisfied
How many dreams till I'm happy
How much of the day will I watch fade away
Till there is no one to ask me
I was gone, so gone
Gone, so gone for a while
How many times will I sleep by your side
Turning and dreaming and scared
Of fair grounds that shut down
As you ride away, my horse won't go anywhere
I was gone, so gone
Gone, so gone for a while
I was wrong, so wrong
Wrong, so wrong for a while
How many songs will I try to write
All have the same thing to say
I've got two tickets left, won't you please stay with me
For the very last ride of the day?
Hymn lyrics - Duncan Sheik
All the storms and oceans
All the sheltering sky
All this earth and she and I
Wait, until it happens
Wait, the moment will come
Wait, but all those are already one
And she asks me, how many sunrises
Will we watch from start to finish
How many will we witness?
And my answers are only ever surmises
Maybe a handful of times
Before the next life, before the next life
Here, we stop beneath the leaves
Here, a moment to stay
Here, a gift of pale green color, here above her
And she asks me, how many sunrises
Will we watch from start to finish
How many will we witness?
And my answers are only ever surmises
Maybe a handful of times
Before the next life
A kiss, a prayer, a laugh, a song
She won't try to tell me, what's right from wrong
A song, a laugh, a prayer, a kiss
She won't try to tell me, I need more than this
All my answers, all my surmises
Will never do it justice
She'll just have to trust it
Wait here, 'til the sun rises
Watch from start to finish
No one as our witness
With no one as our witness
