Delirium - The Dead South

Stay with me, a little while long Don't give up now Just when we are about to see the harvest, reach the clouds Give the most, feel me close Hear this distant calls Feel my flower in the valley, as it speeds you home There's a fear in me that guides me, I have seen it around You're the fire, you're the mouth You're the touch I need, oh-oh There's a fear in me that guides me I have seen it around You're the passion, you're the comfort You're the taste I long for, oh They know you know, that you know you know Experience delirium, hold me close Don't ever, ever let me go They know you know, that you know you know Experience delirium, hold me close Don't ever, ever let me go Don't ever, ever let me go Don't ever, ever let me go Don't ever, ever let me go Don't ever, ever let me go Make the most of this course, smell my garden, oh I'm laid out, always open, take your bridal rose These seasons make no reason to stay far away, oh no I'm the sound of your bass, I'm your trebble chord There's a fear in me that guides me I have seen it around You're the passion, you're the mouth You're the touch I need, oh-oh There's a fear in me that guides me I have seen it around You're the passion, you're the comfort You're the taste I long for, oh They know you know, that you know you know Experience delirium, hold me close Don't ever, ever let me go They know you know that you know you know Experience delirium, hold me close Don't ever, ever let me go Don't ever, ever let me go Don't ever, ever let me go Don't ever, ever let me go Don't ever, ever let me go Make the most of this course, smell my garden, oh I'm laid out, always open, take your bridal rose These seasons make no reason to stay far away, oh no I'm the sound of your bass, I'm your trebble chord There's a fear in me that guides me I have seen it around You're the passion, you're the mouth You're the touch I need, oh-oh There's a fear in me that guides me I have seen it around You're the passion, you're the comfort You're the taste I long for, oh They know you know, that you know you know Experience delirium, hold me close Don't ever, ever let me go They know you know, that you know you know Experience delirium, hold me close Don't ever, ever let me go Don't ever, ever let me go Don't ever, ever let me go Don't ever, ever let me go Don't ever, ever let me go Let me confess that I am yours instead We'll leave it all just for one moment in your head Simple things like you indeed What I need is you, oh, you and me They know you know, that you know you know Experience delirium, hold me close Don't ever, ever let me go They know you know, that you know you know Experience delirium, hold me close Don't ever, ever let me go (Ever, ever) Don't ever, ever let me go (Ever, ever) Don't ever, ever let me go (Ever, ever) Don't ever, ever let me go (Ever, ever) Don't ever, ever let me go Hold on to me I want your love I need your love

Mild apprehension Blank dreams of the coming fun Distort the odds of a turnaround Gut screams out next to none So turn it on, tune it in And stay inert You say "I've got the backbone" The back way to escape the gun Climbing a tree with a missing limb And not saving anyone And now it hurts To stay at home And see flash The mirror ball's throwing mold You can't get a grip if there's nothing to hold See the flash catch a white lily laugh and wilt But if you must smash a glass first fill it to the hilt Plants, as far as I know are still Still bending toward the light And if we dance Until the heart explodes It'll make this place ignite And even if this hall collapses I can stand by my pillar of hope it's just A case of Flash delirium Here's a growing culture Deep inside a corpse Ages stuck together Takin' it to the source Timeless desperation Pictures on a screen scream "Hey people, what does it mean?" Comfort keeps us nice So quick to donate everything Die wolken drifting blinding smiles circling (einkreisen) And time's tingling spines Attaching hands to floor The rosy-tinted flash The hot dog's getting cold And you'll never be as good as the Rolling Stones Watch the birds in the airport gathering dirt Crowd the clean magazine chick lifting up her skirt Lines when I close my eyes and just (why close one eye and try to) Aim blindly at the sun (pledge allegiance to the sun) And hear love When plastic ghosts start singing terrorizing Everyone (When plastic ghosts start terrorizing everyone) (Geometric troops aligning) (Carried up to the burial mounds) with gold It's a heavy time but your (My earthbound heart is heavy) Your rhythm makes it light (Your heartbeat keeps things light) And explode Like a violent star keeps threatening the night (With the violence forever threatening the night) And even if this hall collapses I can stand by my pillar of hope and trust That our heads won't bust Sixty-six fifty-five red battleships Fourty earth-like planets Three holes, two tits One fork in its side Zero tears in their eyes Sue the spiders Sink the Welsh Stab your Facebook Sell sell sell Undercooked Overdone Mass adulation not so funny Poisoned honey Pseudo science Silly money You're my honey!

Can't get out I know it's closer and for now There's something I can't live without Can't save me now And drag me in And take me to my reckoning I'll do the time I'll pay the price I'll pay the price All I need is you All I need is you All I need is you Take me to delirium All I need is you All I need is you All I need is you Take me to delirium In my dreams Nothing is really what it seems I live my life inside my cage I can't scape On my knees Cave in and let my body bleed There's something in the air I breath Are you like me? All I need is you All I need is you All I need is you Take me to delirium Somewhere someone'll hear me calling From delirium Someday someone'll catch me falling Are you that someone? All I need is you All I need is you All I need is you Take me to delirium All I need is you All I need is you All I need is you Take me to delirium

Momma made something sweet It's good for you to eat But you were out late messing around The girls are in your hands Dangerous charm you don't understand The other men will burn you alive You're just naive boy You better leave boy Tonight The streets are whispering now Of this gentlemen in town A lover, who cannot be beat The men around town Gathered on the sacred ground And repeated to beat their chests You're just naive boy You better leave boy Right now You're just naive boy You better leave boy Right now Been hiding as you can Too weak to even stand Your bones don't fit your skin no more Caught you crying at the moon Begging momma for a room But she's felt the burn of your love You're just naive boy You better leave boy Right now You're just naive boy You better leave boy Right now Got down on your knees to pray Asking your father in his grave He whispered son Get on your horse and ride I'm gonna show you Where you gonna die Where you gonna die Where you gonna die You're just naive boy You better leave boy Right now You're just naive boy You better leave boy Right now You're just naive boy You better leave boy Right now Outro This blessing turned to curse Your charm worked in reverse And a love song That is burnt in my mind

We started out from Bern one sunny August morn' There was just the four of us against the Matterhorn There was Albert the Australian and John the Irishman Me and Bill from Britain, mad dogs in the sun Matterhorn, Matterhorn Men have tried and men have died to climb the Matterhorn That mighty Matterhorn Two miles up, we lost John and our rations fell below Now Al and Bill are lying beneath an avalanche of snow Now here I am alone now, and I know I cannot stop Two more yards in front of me until I reach the top Matterhorn, Matterhorn Men have tried and men have died to climb the Matterhorn That mighty Matterhorn Well, here I am a dying upon the Matterhorn Not a grave for me to lie in nor grave to keep me warm And the Queen would surely knight me if I could get back down But it's closer here to heaven Than it is back to the ground Matterhorn, Matterhorn Men have tried and men have died to climb the Matterhorn That mighty Matterhorn That mighty Matterhorn
