Train 03:09
Hear the train through the thunders rumble See the lights of the cars go by In the distance looming darkness In the sky the moon is high Little girl the time is passing It’s time to go now He whispers softly to you I will love you with all my heart Thunder’s louder than his words dear A lie cuts through the sky Little girl this road is winding Watch your step, open up your eyes This is not how you want it to be This is not how you want it to be Hold tight onto your ticket Collection man is coming by His eyes are they sincere girl Is his smile only to beguile? Little girl the time is passing Hold your chin up high Little girl this train is leaving It’s time to go now This is not how you want it to be This is not how you want it to be

Come together Let’s fly away like paper planes Crash into unknown They’ll find us naked Wrapped up in a blanket of misery That was our parachute down Allow me the pleasure To introduce myself I’m the one who tapped your shoulder And disappeared Did you see me The first time I kissed your lips And said you were The only one for me? A mountain of pleasure From a molehill of emotion Can you prick me harder And not let me bleed? I can smell you from miles away Your stench is so erotic Sadistic how I keep letting you lead me Allow me the pleasure To introduce myself I’m the one who tapped your shoulder And disappeared Did you see me The first time I kissed your lips And said you were The only one for me? Can you mend This broken heart back together? Can you tie up these loose ends Without making a noose? I’ll be there for you To pick you up when you’re down You smile at me just cuz you knew I would Allow me the pleasure To introduce myself I’m the one who tapped your shoulder And disappeared Did you see me The first time I kissed your lips And said you were The only one for me?

See the glimmer in his eye It was a bad one today Shoes torn and worn like his insides The price he had to pay Close the door You’re deep inside now Why don’t you pull those knees up To your chest boy The waters rise My little star-struck superman Can’t move stonewalls with your eyes No… They’re too sunken to see Try so hard to free your mind But the emptiness It won’t set you free Close the door You’re deep inside now Why don’t you pull those knees up To your chest boy The waters rise My… Light a candle for the sins you’ve made A silver spoon that never fed The cold it blisters you’re an open wound Never listen to what mama said Close the door You’re deep inside now Why don’t you pull those knees up To your chest boy The waters rise My little star-struck superman My star-struck superman Where you gonna run to now Where you gonna run to now

about

This album makes for the perfect soundtrack to nightcap sessions and moments of deliberation.

The original album was handmade by me and is yours for the generous donation of $25 (Shipping included for US residents). This album will include the original set list from the CD release as well as a puppet template of the languid lady on the front cover of the "Allow Me the Pleasure" EP. If you are outside the US 1) thank you for listening to my music from all the way over there and 2) let me know what country you are in first and we will work out shipping costs.
