Crossing The Border

Underneath the awning of the Netherworld café
Sip a fire and ice libido, watch her do the blue sashay
You can hear the vixen laughter shatter like a magic mirror
Cutting you all over
Sirens in your inner ear

Breathe her touch, so gentle, the feeling is elemental
So beautiful, it's scary, her lovin' is legendary
Legendary

Black roses burning
Perfume of a scarlet spell
Hanging by a heartstring, threadbare in a lover's hell

Breathe her touch, so gentle, the feeling is elemental
So beautiful, it's scary, her lovin' is legendary

She's a wasteland of emotion
She's a phantom gypsy vampire hand
She'll leave you drained and stranded, standing on the shifting sand

Breathe her touch, so gentle, the feeling is elemental
So beautiful, it's scary, her lovin' is legendary
Legendary

(Dave Panting)

There's a silence in the darkened corners on the edge of town
Questions hang in the air, all the earth ties waiting
Nightfall comin' down

Sun hits the horizon and the lights come on
Shadows on the pavement I can feel the call
Something natural stirs in the mental machinery
Waiting for the pieces of the puzzle to fall

Somewhere at the end of the falling night (night falls)
The dawn lies waiting to find us (on the ground)
Cradled in the arms of the fading light (light shines)
Expectant future around us

Something’s pointing to the words were not speaking
Dark and silent frowns
It's so hard to believe we could make a difference in what goes and comes around

Sun hits the horizon and the lights go down
The world rushes headlong at a brand new start
In between the changes and the distance and the differences
We swing into the rhythm and we play our part

Somewhere at the end of the falling night (night falls)
The dawn lies waiting to find us (on the ground)
Cradled in the arms of the fading light (light shines)
Expectant future around us

Somewhere at the end of the falling night (night falls)
The dawn lies waiting to find us (on the ground)
Cradled in the arms of the fading light (light shines)
Expectant future around us

Always have the blues for you
Always have the blues for you

Come into my eyes down an endless road
Beneath big skies burning bright blue
There lives a child
He'll never grow old
He will be waiting for news

He'll always have the blues for you
Always have the blues for you

Waltz in the shadows in a room without time
Parallel chords in the gathering night
Laugh in the twilight
Full moon pantomime
Fugitive hearts taking flight

Always have the blues for you
Always have the blues for you

(Dave Panting)

Got your drink in your hand and your back to the wall
In the very last bar at the very last call
So sad and so lonely after waiting all night
For some magical stranger who'd make everything alright

But there's peace on the inside or there's no peace at all
There ain't no divine right, no primal fall
No predestined glory, no original sin
No magic outsider gonna make your side win

You got your so called protectors
They're controlling it all
Some secret beehive of rooms off of well guarded halls
All set for Armageddon, got the flags all unfurled
Maybe some magical stranger might save their part of the world

But there's peace on the inside or there's no peace at all
There ain't no divine right, no primal fall
No predestined glory, no original sin
No magic outsider gonna make your side win

Got your drink in your hand and your back to the wall
In the very last bar at the very last call
So sad and so lonely after waiting all night
For some magical stranger who'd make everything alright

But there's peace on the inside or there's no peace at all
There ain't no divine right, no primal fall
No predestined glory, no original sin
No magic outsider
Better let it begin on the inside or we'll have no peace at all
There ain't no divine right, no primal fall
