Waltz in the Snow
In Brooklyn its warm enough in the autumn
Its warm enough to sleep with the sheets off
There's no monster round here
There's no monster round here
In Brooklyn
There are lovers undulating in the subways
And the underground is filled with half this world
There's no monster round here
There's no monster round here
In Brooklyn
And I'm in my mind half the time
In my mind half the time
But thank God
Oh, yes, thank God
For Brooklyn
Berlin
If miles were only those of ants
And months could tick like seconds
It wouldn't be that easy for me
You wouldn't feel the rapture
You wouldn't hear the battles
Awoken, exploding in your heart
That's why I'm leaving
I'm leaving
I'm leavin' Berlin
The cold and daunting winter
Decided this for me
It built the piles of snow between our hearts
And all of it determinedly
Will melt down from the sun
That will shine on long after this war
That's why I'm leavin'
I'm leavin'
Yes, I'm leavin' Berlin
Oh, yes, I'm leavin'
I'm leavin'
Yes, I'm leavin' Berlin
If miles were only those of ants
And months could tick like seconds
Well then it wouldn't be that easy for me
The Animals Know
There's a hole in my heart that's tellin me
A hole in my heart that's tellin' me it's filled with broken promises
A hole in my heart telling me to focus
A hole in my heart telling me to leave all of the hoaxes behind
A dog chases tails but it knows when to run
A dog chases tails but it knows when to run from the danger ahead
The animals know when to run from the fire
The animals know when to run from the fire and it hasn't even started
And I even got a head start
Yes, I even got a head start
But the heart don't know
No, the heart don't know
No, the heart don't know when to stop
If only it hurt when it never mattered
If only it hurt when it never mattered
Then I wouldn't even bother
The animals know when to run from the fire
The animals know when to run from the fire when it hasn't even started
And I even got a head start
Yes I even got a head start
But the heart don't know
No, the heart don't know
No, the heart don't know
The heart don't know
No, the heart don't know when to stop
Bye, Bye Honeymoon
Staring at my library of how things all go
One too many chapters on unrequited hopes
They go, they go, they go
But I should have known
That a romance ain't more thrilling than a mystery
Tongue is tied in our conversation so I hide
Who's the hero who's the protagonist who knows
Who knows, who knows, who knows
But I should have known
That a romance ain't more thrilling than a mystery
Oh and I cannot be
Anymore than I would ask you to be
Oh I don't tug a rope, tug a rope
Oh I don't tug a rope, tug a rope
Yes I don't tug a rope, tug a rope
I don't tug a rope, tug a rope
The Races
My February longs for March
But once its passed I'm longing more
I don't know why your indecisions
Are keeping me in tow
Your pulling on the lace
That's unthreading from my dress
Illuminating my remains
I'm your scarlet rose, no more
I'm your scarlet rose, no more
I've been eating from the palms
of your hands for so long
I'm indecisive as well
On what to do about my health
Its the battle that I have mentioned before
Not once, not twice, but many times before
I'm your scarlet rose, no more
I'm your scarlet rose, no more
I'm your scarlet rose, no more
I'm your scarlet rose, no more
He said set this love on fire
Come on, set this love on fire
And take this love to the races, to the races
Take this love to the races
The Battle Outside The Gates To Your Arms
Oh, I can't do this without ya
We've shared so many tears
But its those nights I cry without ya
That lead these vicious fears
I've spent all my doubts on failures
And I've failed with all my doubts
But its a fortune less from what lies here
In the kingdom of your chest
In the kingdom of your chest
Everyday don't get better
Unless you beat the one before
And you face yourself
Real hard against that wind
Real hard against that wind
Amen, Amen, Amen
Amen, Amen, Amen
Am I moving too fast
Or am I too far below
It's the battle outside the gates to your arms
Outside the gates to your arms
Outside the gates to your arms
