Debi Graham Band: LISTEN & LYRICS

LIKE LUCY’S FUR:

I NEVER SAID I HAD A HALO
I’M HOLDING SECRETS THAT YOU WILL NEVER KNOW
BUT I COULD SWEAR, YOU WERE AWARE
OF THESE HORNS
I KNOW YOU SAW MY HORNS
DON’T LIE, YOU SAW THESE HORNS

DON’T TRY TO TELL ME
YOU DIDN’T SEE

STEP BACK, OH, HEART ATTACK AGAIN
YOU CAN’T BELIEVE WHAT I JUST SAID
YOU CAN’T BELIEVE THAT THIS COULD
THIS COULD BE THE END

COME ON NOW, HOW COULD YOU EXPECT
TO HOLD DOWN A CAT
THE THOUGHTS YOU HATE GROW IN MY HEAD

YOU KNEW WHAT YOU WERE GETTING INTO




Suffocate:

I guess that I
Will be accompanying my-
Self to bed
Alone again
But that’s all right
Cause I never seem to put up a fight
Towards the end
And this world only seems to get smaller
City walls closing in on me
Everybody says why don’t you wait a little longer
but I’ve got claustrophobia
and I can not breath
oh I can not breath

I’ve got this sudden instinct
To push you away
When you step into my 3 feet of space
If I wasn’t stuck in here
I know I would not be this way
But I can not jump these walls
To get out of this place
And the water only seems to get deeper
I can feel the waves rolling over me
I’d like to swim but my hands are tied to this anchor
And I can not breath

So you say my glass is half empty
But the liquid inside tastes so sweet
And if you don’t like what I have to say
Then why don’t you just get up and leave
Cause there’s not enough air for both of us to breath
So I guess I’ll suffocate






FADE AWAY:

Anger and haste tend to create the most horrible things
And time takes it’s time when you’re in a situation you hate
You speak irrationally without thinking and as soon as it’s said you hold regret
And you can’t beat it in and you won’ t give in and that’s just how it is and that is that

Wish I could tap into the universal math I’d fade away

Stubbornness wastes all the precious time good things take to make
And time takes it’s time when you’re in a situation you hate
You make the advance to hold your stance when you want nothing more then nothing at all
You break for your escape outside the walls you made then you look down and notice the fall






ALIGN:

LOST INSIDE YOUR LIFE
OH SO HARD TO FIND
RUNNING CIRCLES IN FENCES
HAS MADE YOU BLIND
DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME

OH MY DEAR FRIEND
HERE IS MY ADVICE

CHANGE IS IN YOUR SITES
SHOOT TO KILL
GET IT RIGHT THEN GET YOUR FILL
YOUR HAPPINESS IS ON THE LINE
YOU’RE LIVING TO SURVIVE
NOW YOU MUST DECIDE
WHAT DO YOU WANT FOR YOU
DON’T THINK
JUST DO
AND STIMULATION
INSPIRATION
WILL ALIGN

SICK OF YOUR ROUTINE
THIS WAS NOT YOUR DREAM
YOUR YOUTH SLEEPWALKING
SLEEPTALKING IT’S YOUTH AWAY
TIME TO AWAKE






Jet lag chase:

Do I look like you can do this to me?
Do I look like I can be walked on so easily?
Well babe, better take a second glance
cause now you missed your second chance
As fast as I came I am gone,
as soon as I could feel it coming on.

Did you really want this,
when you get so close that you can almost taste it?
Did you think that you would really make it?
When the chase is over, can you fake it?

Do I look like I was born yesterday?
Do I look like one of your many clichés?
Well babe, better renew your eye exam
Cause I could give a damn
about your ego head trip play
So go ahead and turn
your pretty little ass and burn
direction the other way

Did you really want this?
When you get so close that you can almost taste it?
Did you think that you would really make it?
When the chase is over, can you fake it?







god’s ghosts:

Creeping behind sealed corridors
In the dark damp places of witches and whores
I am beneath myself
I can not reach myself
I am
getting deeper and deeper and deeper
Into something untouched

Stirring up shadows
That needn’t be unleashed
If we would’ve left him there
We should’ve left him there
We should’ve left him there
A high ranking official
of the third of hosts
They were god’s ghosts

My senses stripped from me
But somehow I still see
My body on loan, tag team
This is not real this can not be
Why do you bleed in me







VII:

7 seconds past the minute and I know I dove right in it but I’m too deep to get out now.
7 minutes past the hour and I’m sure that this is power, this incantation of a conversation.

Oh, What are you doing to me?
When I can’t even be.
Aware of your rise
And your temptation eyes.

7 bottles past the limit and I know that you would give it if our better halves were bad.
7 words past the dark, you’re the fish and I’m the shark and I’ve been circling you.

Oh, What are you doing to me?
When I can’t even speak.
Your words tranquilize
With your temptation eyes

7 hrs past the day and I’m way too far away cause you’re all that’s on my mind.
7 inches past the law and from this I won’t withdraw cause I’m a fugitive today.

Oh, What are you doing to me?
When I can’t even think.
Aware of your size
And your temptation eyes.








Storyline:

I was alive when you found me here
barely breathing
I was revived by the absence of fear
behind your reason
Your eyes could never swallow
What I’ve learned to eat.
For a moment I went hollow
With bloody hands and swollen feet.

You’re raiding me
Inside
You’re fading my
Storyline
What don’t you get about
This bit
That I don’t like you

Can’t believe you didn’t lift to the drift
That you completely missed
my dumb bitch hit list
In fact you racked up
Yourself a stack of
Luke nitty gritties
From the spook ditty kitty

You were so real
With your pretty little
Voodoo feel
You were so real
With your tough ass ovaries of steal.

You’re raiding me
Inside
You’re fading my
Storyline
What don’t you get
About this bit
I like you

We all know you’re making the call
But you’re making yourself predictably unpredictable

And you know we know
You don’t want us to know
What you’re about
But you shout.

It was so real
Her confession to the way she feels
It was so real
Cause I’m a sucker to the circle of zeal.

You’re raiding me
Inside
You’re fading my
Storyline
What don’t you get
About this bit
That I like you
Maybe too much
You know I like you,
But I don’t like you.

You’re eyes could never swallow
What I’ve learned to eat
For a moment I went hollow
With bloody hands and swollen feet








Mercury:

Touch down on mercury. Mars and Venus are old. Vivian (leigh) and I agree, it was only fools gold. Judy garland and Frances Gumm kept changing their minds, but Mercury still bares her young is there gold her to find?
Desert maids devour the rain with magical power with a Cheshire grin that fades to moon.
Star date thirteen: life forms viciously sweet, through eyes they feed on raw spirit meat.

Scorpion to Houston we’ve an emergency cause we’ve been taken captive here on Mercury, where our waters and their winds converse in hurricanes of quiet violent thirst.
I’ll sacrifice mine, I’ll go on and push them aside, cause everyone here wants to taste your hide and things change as quickly as they arrive.

They said we’d better choose a side so we escaped to Aphelion where Morrissey and Difranco reside in their shameless nameless rebellion. Quicksilver mercury has lost its worth oh but since we’ve seen it all we can’t return to earth.
Neverwhere chapter nine in between the thirteenth and the fifteenth line, oh I could sure use door right about now. Perihelion creatures are well overdone. Enticings soon turn to predictable puns.

Scorpion to Houston we’ve escaped captivity. We simply opened up our eyes, realized turned away with wings. They screamed,” What side are you on? By God you must know! You stumble on a crooked line! Open mind only makes you slow!”
But I’ve got mind control. Operation in full. Armed in quick defenses I can sense their insecurities. What they’re trying to hide escapes from the inside in silent screams.

Steve says he knows a place that can take me away. Vivian has joined their race, the fish made her mutate. Forever stuck inside roaming terrestrials. Zodiacal light won’t let us pass to Pluto.
Kirk or Picard send Scottie or Lafordge cause I could sure use that beam right about now. Neverwhere line thirteen, single leaf 190. Oh how I wish it were that easy.

Scorpion to Houston false emergency. Vivian and Scarlet have been reborn happily and I am returning to my native moon, who slipped from the liquid grip of Neptune.
Valedictory, my beloved Mercury. Mind switching creatures but saving false leader features.

Cast my outline in lead
So sure you could save me
but I was wrong.








Until now:

So I am through with you
Sir Right Man” with the hurricane hue
You’re healing me from the inside out
With hydrogen peroxide
But I’d
Never shout
Until now

Tony and Cory sanctuary
God gave up on me
So I learned to survive on me
Survive on me

I can tell by the string
You’ve been in places
You shouldn’t be in
You’ve painted me black
As Halloween
Forever heard but never seen

They found a car in the front of an Italian restaurant
And the leather seats were covered in blood
With little hand prints all over the red iroc
From the diary that wouldn’t stop.
Until now







dŭb'el-än-tän´dre:

YOUR FRUSTRATION IS WEARING YOUR TEETH TO THE NERVE ENDINGS
YOU COVER IT UP LIKE A STAGGERING DRUNK BEGGING FOR GAS CHANGE
YOU HAVE THE NICEST WAY OF MANIPULATING ME TO GET WHAT YOU THINK YOU WANT
BUT NOW I’M SECOND GUESSING YOUR MASKED INTENTIONS AND THEIR NICE DEEDS


WELL YOU HAVE TAUGHT ME SOMETHING
THAT TO BE SAFE IS TO BE CYNICAL
AND THAT THE NICE ONE’S ARE MORE DANGEROUS
PREMEDITATING HOW YOU FALL

WELL LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING
I’M NOT EASILY MISLEAD
BECAUSE I ALWAYS FIND OUT SOMEHOW
WHEN A FUCKER TRIES TO GET BETWEEN MY LEGS


YOU SUCCESSFULLY LURED ME IN WITH WHAT YOU KNEW I CAN’T RESIST
YOU SLIDE RIGHT BY THE NO TRESPASSING SIGN
YOU SLIP YOUR PUZZLE PIECE SECRETS IN SONGS AND TANGIBLE METAPHORICAL OFFERINGS
AND NOW I’M NOT SO SURE I WANT THESE THINGS


BUT THIS TIME IT WAS DIFFERENT
BECAUSE I REALLY WANTED TO HELP
BUT IT SEEMS BY THE SCENE THAT YOU USED THAT AGAINST ME
AND NOW I’M PULLING ALL OF MY SHIT OFF YOUR SHELF
