After Hours

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

Gharbzadegi

It's so easy to decide on a name
It's a name caller's game
It's so easy to look down from above
Helicopter vision
Get the picture when you're outside the frame
Retrospective my eye
And we get so out of touch
Words take the place of meaning
So out of touch
Words take the place of meaning
Call it art and you can say what you like
It's a name caller's game
Your perspective describes where I stand
Out of line, out of mind
Calling myopia 'focus', of course
Makes it easier still
Gharbzadegi means nothing to me
Westernitis to you
...We get so out of touch
Words take the place of meaning
So out of touch
Words take the place of meaning
So out of touch
Words take the place of meaning
So out of touch
Words take the place of meaning

An Emergency
01:02
|

And your wounds were growing
And your feast on your fear
Are you bathing in moonlight?
Are you drowning in tears?
I thought I had lost you
But I now find you here
In the darkness we share

All is Loneliness

All is loneliness here for me
Loneliness here for me.
Loneliness.

Sharp and open, leave me alone
And sleeping less every night
As the days become heavier and weighted
Waiting in the cold light
A noise, a scream tears my clothes as the figurines tighten
With spiders inside them
And dust on the lips of a vision of hell
I laughed in the mirror for the first time in a year
[Verse 2]
A hundred other words blind me with your purity
Like an old painted doll in the throes of dance
I think about tomorrow, please let me sleep
As I slip down the window, freshly squashed fly
You mean nothing
You mean nothing
I can lose myself in Chinese art and American girls
All the time, lose me in the dark, please do it right
Run into the night, I will lose myself tomorrow
Crimson pain, my heart explodes
My memory in a fire, and someone will listen
At least for a short while
(I can never say no)
I can never say no to anyone but you
Too many secrets, too many lies
Writhing with hatred
Too many secrets, please make it good tonight
But the same image haunts me, in sequence, in despair of time
I will never be clean again
I touched her eyes, pressed my stained face
I will never be clean again
Touched her eyes, pressed my stained face
I will never be clean again
I will never be clean again
I will never be clean again

I'll Be Your Mirror

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 you are
But if you don't, let me be your eyes
A hand to 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 (reflect what you are)
I'll be your mirror (reflect what you are)
I'll be your mirror (reflect what you are)
I'll be your mirror (reflect what you are)

King after king after king
Then queen then queen then king
Dead in lines and dead in singular
They are dead they are dead
Altogether dead

Mountains Made of Steam

This was a stormy ending
Water sank our boats
Shouldn't we, oh, shouldn't we
Throw our hopes into the ocean
The ocean
The warm grey sea
Tell me or kick me or hold me or please believe
This is their busted future
And this is our dream
Which one do you believe in, believe in, believe in, believe in
Together, together, together, together
Never to retreat
Mystery and wonder
Messy hearts made of thunder
Somewhere there's a soldier
Sleeping in a field
Somewhere there's a mother, a mother, a mother
A mother, a mother, a mother
Please believe in gentle dreams
The sweetness of people
Whistling in their sleep
The angels in your palm
Sing gentle worried songs
The sweetness of our dreams
Like mountains made of steam
The angels in your palm
Sing gentle worried songs
And the sweetness of our dreams
Like mountains made of steam
The angels in your palm
Sing gentle worried songs
The sweetness of our dreams
Like mountains made of steam

Telephone Call

I give you my affection and I give you my time
Trying to get a connection on the telephone line
You're so close but far away
I call you up all night and day
I give you my affection and I give you my time
Trying to get a connection on the telephone line
You're so close but far away
I call you up all night and day
You're so close but far away
I call you up all night and day
I give you my affection and I give you my time
Trying to get a connection on the telephone line
I call you up from time to time
To hear your voice on the telephone line
I call you up from time to time
To hear your voice on the telephone line

MariraM Tbilisi, Georgia
Musician Inspired by Thunder Perfect Mind
My friends are birds, my friends are
trees,
my friends are fishies in the stream
water is my friend and fire and earth and air,
my friends are laughing stars, and winds and (not so) feral beasts as they may seem
and all my friends are beautiful and wondrous fair
I am a bird as well a bird of fire and water, soil and air
And I like to do things
