We walked along the paper street and sang to the moon And stood beneath a billboard saying see you soon To dance I wore my favourite iridescent shoes And sold my winter coat for a banjo and the blues Your dulcet tone and tenor told me tremble dear You think you’re close to something but you’re not that near The bed in which you sleep is not safe when you dream And all the things you love are never what they seem All the golden coins the callers gave to me They vanished as the daytime caused the dark to flee And all the silver starlight that lit up my way It faded as the sun came up, turned silver into grey One thousand paper cranes I loosed upon the waves They sank beneath the surface to their watery graves All the wishes that I made on falling flame They burned themselves out long before I made my claim All the golden coins the callers gave to me They vanished as the daytime caused the dark to flee And all the silver starlight that lit up my way It faded as the sun came up, turned silver into grey All the golden coins the callers gave to me (We walked along a paper street and sang to the moon) They vanished as the daytime caused the dark to flee (You think you're close to something but your not that near) And all the silver starlight that lit up my way (To dance I wore my favourite iridescent shoes) It faded as the sun came up, turned silver into grey (And all the things you love are never what they seem)

War Paint 05:01
I broke the dawn It shattered in my hands All the shards Fell to the sand And there you stood With your painted face Your feathered feet Your fragile grace There’s grazes on your knees You never could see the wood for the trees But now you hear her begging please Please Come home You’re dancing out Over the ocean Stars appear where your feet fall Your see through skin Your shining bones It’s hard to see them through the walls There’s grazes on your knees You never could see the wood for the trees But you hear her begging please Please Come home And there you stood With your painted face Your feathered feet Your fragile grace There’s grazes on your knees You never could see the wood for the trees But now you hear her begging please Please Come home

Queen 02:54
Running out the back and you’re slamming the door Bare feet on the grass spreading leaves on the floor Oh oh Headed for the sun and you fall out of trees Burning up the driveway scrapes on your knees Oh oh And from all the paper cuts Ran blood that was far bluer than the sea And when you take my hand and pull me out I remember what’s it’s like to be free Dancing outside when it’s thundering rain Lighting rattling the window panes Oh oh Bringing me back to the time long ago When I lived outside my head and I could grow Tamer of the savage beasts And so much braver than I ever could be You’re queen of all that you survey And ruler of the youth that stayed in me
