Sunday morning, brings the dawn in It's just a restless feeling by my side Early dawning, Sunday morning It's just the wasted years so close behind Watch out, the world's behind you There's always someone around you who will call It's nothing at all Sunday morning and I'm falling I've got a feeling I don't want to know Early dawning, Sunday morning It's all the streets you crossed, not so long ago Watch out, the world's behind you There's always someone around you who will call It's nothing at all Watch out, the world's behind you There's always someone around you who will call It's nothing at all Sunday morning Sunday morning Sunday morning

Stephanie says that she wants to know Why she's given half her life, to people she hates now Stephanie says when answering the phone What country shall I say is calling from across the world But she's not afraid to die, the people all call her Alaska Between worlds so the people ask her 'cause it's all in her mind It's all in her mind Stephanie says that she wants to know Why it is thought she's the door She can't be the room Stephanie says but doesn't hang up the phone What sea shell sea is calling from across the world But she's not afraid to die, the people all call her Alaska Between worlds so the people ask her 'cause it's all in her mind It's all in her mind She asks you is it good or bad It's such an icy feeling it's so cold in Alaska, It's so cold in Alaska, it's so cold in Alaska

I'll be your mirror Reflect what you are, in case you don't know I'll be the wind, the rain and the sunset The light on your door to show that you're home When you think the night has seen your mind That inside you're twisted and unkind Let me stand to show that you are blind Please put down your hands 'Cause I see you I find it hard to believe you don't know The beauty that you are But if you don't let me be your eyes A hand in your darkness, so you won't be afraid When you think the night has seen your mind That inside you're twisted and unkind Let me stand to show that you are blind Please put down your hands 'Cause I see you I'll be your mirror

Candy says, "I've come to hate my body And all that it requires in this world" Candy says, "I'd like to know completely What others so discretely talk about" I'm gonna watch the blue birds fly Over my shoulder I'm gonna watch them pass me by Maybe when I'm older What do you think I'd see If I could walk away from me? Candy says, "I hate the quiet places That cause the smallest taste of what will be" Candy says, "I hate the big decisions That cause endless revisions in my mind" I'm gonna watch the blue birds fly Over my shoulder I'm gonna watch them pass me by Maybe when I'm older What do you think I'd see If I could walk away from me?

Staring at my picture book She looks like Mary, Queen of Scots She seemed very regal to me Just goes to show how wrong you can be I'm gonna stop wastin' my time Somebody else would have broken both of her arms Sad song, Sad song, Sad song, Sad song My castle, kids and home I thought she was Mary, Queen of Scots I tried so very hard Shows just how wrong you can be I'm gonna stop wasting time Somebody else would have broken both of her arms Sad song, Sad song, Sad song, Sad song

Shiny, shiny, shiny boots of leather Whiplash girl child in the dark Comes in bells, your servant, don't forsake him Strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart Downy sins of streetlight fancies Chase the costumes she shall wear Ermine furs adorn the imperious Severin, Severin awaits you there I am tired, I am weary I could sleep for a thousand years A thousand dreams that would awake me Different colors made of tears Kiss the boot of shiny, shiny leather Shiny leather in the dark Tongue of thongs, the belt that does await you Strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart Severin, Severin, speak so slightly Severin, down on your bended knee Taste the whip, in love not given lightly Taste the whip, now bleed for me I am tired, I am weary I could sleep for a thousand years A thousand dreams that would awake me Different colors made of tears Shiny, shiny, shiny boots of leather Whiplash girl child in the dark Severin, your servant comes in bells, please don't forsake him Strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart

I don't know just where I'm going, But I'm gonna try for the kingdom if I can, 'Cause it makes me feel like I'm a man When I put a spike into my vein, And I'll tell 'ya, things aren't quite the same, When I'm rushin' on my run, And I feel just like Jesus' son, And I guess that I just don't know, And I guess that I just don't know. I have made the big decision: I'm gonna try to nullify my life. 'Cause when the blood begins to flow, When it shoots up the dropper's neck, When I'm closing in on death, And you can't help me now, you guys, And all you sweet girls with all your sweet talk, You can all go take a walk. And I guess that I just don't know, And I guess that I just don't know. I wish that I was born a thousand years ago I wish that I'd sail the darkened seas, On a great big clipper ship, Going from this land here to that, In a sailor's suit and cap, Away from the big city Where a man can not be free Of all of the evils of this town, And of himself, and those around. Oh, and I guess that I just don't know. Oh, and I guess that I just don't know. Heroin, be the death of me. Heroin, it's my wife and it's my life, Because a mainer to my vein Leads to a center in my head, And then I'm better off than dead Because when the smack begins to flow, I really don't care anymore About all the Jim-Jim's in this town, And all the politicians makin' busy sounds, And everybody puttin' everybody else down, And all the dead bodies piled up in mounds, 'Cause when the smack begins to flow, Then I really don't care anymore. Ah, when the heroin is in my blood, And that blood is in my head, Then thank God that I'm as good as dead, Then thank your God that I'm not aware, And thank God that I just don't care, And I guess I just don't know, And I guess I just don't know

One, two, three If you close the door The night could last forever Leave the sunshine out And say hello to never All the people are dancing And they're having such fun I wish it could happen to me But if you close the door I'd never have to see the day again If you close the door The night could last forever Leave the wineglass out And drink a toast to never Oh, someday I know Someone will look into my eyes And say hello You're my very special one But if you close the door I'd never have to see the day again Dark party bars, shiny Cadillac cars And the people on subways and trains Looking gray in the rain as they stand disarrayed Oh, but people look well in the dark And If you close the door The night could last forever Leave the sunshine out And say hello to never All the people are dancing And they're having such fun I wish it could happen to me 'Cause if you close the door I'd never have to see the day again I'd never have to see the day again, once more I'd never have to see the day again
