I can't be expected
To hold this up.
You're spinning tops
And when they drop,
Am I responsible?
Is what you're telling me?
Well I'll give my money
If they ask me,
But I won't give...Read Full Lyrics
Artist - After the Sirens
And even after we all collapse in laughter
And all the perfume passes from hands to tapered glasses,
We're still stuck in suits and dresses --
Loosened ties and glassy eyes and

Artist - After the Sirens

In cardboard and army fatigue, threadbare in 20 degrees.
And I'll be walking around you so lightly,
Hoping that you won't disturb me

Your love was perennial

But I'll sail away from you; I am searching for the truth
Dark clouds disperse, my will is first
Moving further from your arms
Feeling dista...Read Full Lyrics
