Isle of Dogs, Isle of Dreams

track name: Isle of Dogs, Isle of Dreams
album and band name: from Love In the Form of Death, and Other Guises by The Killing Words

lyrics: Sit on down now sugar
Take a little rest now easy
I have come to see you sigh
God I miss you lately,
How my eyes have burned
With every little smile that’s come my way

And heaven knows we’re angry
At the lot’s we’ve drawn
But we can cast those lots away
So rest your head down honey
Rest your little head on mine
Tonight we’ll throw it all away
(And then I’ll sing)

I’ll throw away all my charm
It’s as useless as a false alarm
Come on angel light my way
I’m sick of all the years I’ve stalled
Like a man at a masquerade ball
I’m tired of slipping away.

Phone cards that have got no money
Post cards that ain’t that funny
I’m sick of living the life I lead
I paid a poet pennies,
For some prose about this city,
He cut me up, to know I bleed
(and then I bleed)

Every minute is another meltdown
Every second is a minute’s breakdown
I’m falling down I’m on my knees
I’d pay the Devil his charge
Just to have you in my arms
My soul is his
but at least my spirit would be free (and)

I’ll throw away all my charm
It’s as useless as a false alarm
Come on angel light my way
I’m sick of all the years I’ve stalled
Like a man at a masquerade ball
I’m tired of slipping away.

Away, away…
Oh….
