A honeypot: that's what I need
A honeypot: that's what I need
I could cover myself with it and then run, run
Cover myself with it and then run, run
And if I had wings then I could fly
If I had wings then I would fly
Fly and get away from the paws of bears
Fly and get away from the paws of bears
These words that come at night,
They're usually not so wise
Like flowering in the snow
You have the same taste as youth
Simple, complex, sour, sweet
And it's sweetness what I want, now.

A Taste

Elbows stuck to the table
Are you waiting for me?
Sensual, casual, unusual
That’s the way you appeared to me
All it takes is a warm glance
And I’m ready for you
We clearly share the same intent
Since we are wearing the same shoes
It’s a chase for a taste
Feeling dazed by a taste
It’s a chase for a taste
Just a taste
What a waste

Look, or Don't

Boom - a mortal can - a mortal tin, I am
Danger is permanent, I came to understand
And who else is here? They gather where I can't
Hey don't look away, insert your coins and wait
Another sultry day, a thousand sultry years
My goldmines for a change, my kingdom for a chance
To unwind the time, we're chained to, we're chained to
We are chained to
We are chained to

The Comeback

All the colours, all the forms
All the notes and all the tones
Every lip and limb and tongue
Gathers back where it belongs
It's been so long
Digging into the past, digging into the past
Digging is fine - but the future is brighter
Been years and miles apart, been years and miles apart
Been years and miles - we're back together now
