waking from an ancient night
facing toward the eastern sky
recalling dreams of neon lights
that glowed alive and made me high
but left me out in the cold
sweating out this love so old
that even though it's you i hold
it dances like a memory
following grafitti eyes
seducing me with promises
i fall inside your little white lies
find truth inside your kiss
you whisper that my future's fine
you run your fingers down my line
ask me to drink of your wine
and we dance like a memory
Dance my love, like a memory
but don't let go
don't let it be
don't forget
madame marie
you told me I'd be fine
Dance my love, like a memory
that i can't hold on to
I can't believe
don't forget
madame marie
you told me you'd be mine
don't forget
madame marie
dance my love, like a memory
that shines
you hide behind your prophecies
of passing strangers pain
getting high when you relieve
their heat with summer rain
but i see you, and youre the one
that needs the love, but now youre done
i stand alone with the rising sun
and we dance like a memory
Dance my love, like a memory
but don't let go
don't let it be
don't forget
madame marie
you told me I'd be fine
Dance my love, like a memory
that i can't hold on to
I can't believe
don't forget
madame marie
you told me you'd be mine
don't forget
madame marie
dance my love, like a memory
that shines

bordertown (dance for free)...unsung song
wastin money on margaritas
waitin on a strangers call
lovers grinding in my mind
out the window rain just falls
then the dj's music fades
that femme fatale takes the stage
and rips me to another time
when i dared to live and almost die
just to be painted in the night
with red on drying lips
and love layed broken on her sleeve
she's workin' for the tips
i wanna make her believe
but i'm just falling and about to be lost
in this bordertown...
she wont know i exist cuz i cant pay the cost
but i cant pay the gas to not stick around
so I'm stuck in lonely limbo
in this quiet bordertown...
prayin' that she will dance for free
wanting lights to fade to blackness
wishing i'd just dissapear
so she'd be blind to all my pain
and not be scared of all my fears
then the femme fatale is gone
the dj plays another song
i drink to that to blur my sight
so though shes gone, i see the light
and she paints me in the dying night
with red on drying lips
and love layed broken on her sleeve
she's workin' for the tips
i wanna make her believe
but i'm just falling and about to be lost
in this bordertown...
she wont know i exist cuz i cant pay the cost
but i cant pay the gas to not stick around
so I'm stuck in lonely limbo
in this quiet bordertown...
prayin' that she will dance for free
the night is over
i walk the streets
left with nothing
but painted dreams
of red on drying lips
and love layed broken on her sleeve
she's workin' for the tips
i wanna make her believe
but i'm just falling and about to be lost
in this bordertown...
she wont know i exist cuz i cant pay the cost
but i cant pay the gas to not stick around
so I'm stuck in lonely limbo
in this quiet bordertown...

cant get away from your song...unsung song
All I can do
Is lie in a dark room
Blasting out whatever tunes
To take away what I feel
Everything I need
To let my tears bleed
Internally
Denying what I know to be real
All I can do
Is get lost in that room
And try to forget you
And try not to feel
But no matter how hard I try
The music keeps me alive
Though I’m begging to die
Just to know heaven’s real
And if I turn the music loud enough
I see sunshine, and I feel your love
But here’s the thing
I don’t want to feel
So now I’m forever running
Just to get away
Cuz I’d rather not know you’re gone
Driving to the edge
Of an empty highway
Dead silence
the radio’s off
But no matter far I drive, or how far I run
I can’t get away from your song
Even when the radio’s off
I can’t get away from your song
All I can be is who I am
I’m free to lose myself,
I’ll swim through the sea
And find myself when I drown.
I’ll see you again
My loving friend
But this could really be the end
And I’m scared
still lost, not found
All I can be
Is nothing but me
Looking for silence, but I’ll try to believe
That maybe, just maybe you’ll come back
Truth is, I’ve never lost like this before
So I’ll always leave an open door
For your soul to comfort me, just a little more
But I’m having a panic attack
And if I turn the music loud enough
I see your sunshine, and all your love
But the thing is, you may never be back
So now I’m forever running
Just to get away
Cuz I’d rather not know you’re gone
Driving to the edge
Of an empty highway
Dead silence
the radio’s off
But no matter far I drive, or how far I run
I can’t get away from your song
Even when the radio’s off
I can’t get away from your song.
So all I can do
Is lie in a room
And let myself remember you
With the radio on
Cuz no matter how far I go, or how far I run
I can’t escape the light of your sun
So I guess you and me, we’re not really done
Cuz I can’t get away from your song.
Even when the radio’s off
I can’t get away from your song.
Is lie in a dark room
