DESTROYER Poison Season LYRICS
Times Square, Poison Season I
Jesus is beside himself
Jacob's in a state of decimation
The writing on the wall wasn't writing at all
Just forces of nature in love with a weather station
Artists and repertoire
Hand in hand through the greater way at dawn
The writing on the wall said, "Jesus saves"
The writing on the wall mentions Honey played a game with our waves
You can follow a rose wherever it grows
Yeah, you can fall in love with Times Square
Times Square
***********************************************
Dream Lover
Dream lover, I know
Someone's idea of fun
You and me thought in some city
Lovers on the run, lovers on the run
Haunted starlight gets in your eyes
Grabs hold of us and turns us around
All the signs say you're in for a surprise
All the signs are saying this way to town
All the signs are saying this way
You're sick in bed
You're sick in the head
You'd love a dog to play dead
You'd love a dog to play dead
I think I used to be more fun
Ah shit, here comes the sun
Oh shit, here comes the sun
Look, here comes that sun
And now, here comes that sun
And lovers on the run
And lovers on the run
And lovers on the run
Dream lover, I know
Dream lover, I know

Forces From Above
Forces from above denied you the right to be free in your own way
Forces from above love the caps of the world
Forces from above denied you the right to be free in your own way
Forces from above, wish you were here, we think the world of you
I tried to follow the lines to the letter
I was in love with you and your sweater
Oh, forces from above
I climbed high the cathedral steps, it was getting on
The evening progressed like a song
But forces from above
I got paid and then I wrote a song
I got paid and then I rode a song into the heavens
Ba-dum bum
Ba-dum bum
Ba-dum bum
I tried to follow the lines to the letter
On her deathbed, she said, "I hope you get better"
Oh, forces from above
I climbed high the cathedral steps, it was getting on
The evening progresses like a song into the heavens
Into the heavens
Into the heavens
Into the heavens
Into the heavens
***********************************************
Hell Is An Open Door
I'll take my chances on the road
On the inside, I'm an ocean
Like a wheel set into motion into the storm
I'll take my chances
I'll take my chances on the road
On the inside, I am an ocean
Like a wheel set into motion into the storm
I'm coming home, I'm coming home
Every murderer voted out of office is sold down the river
Every time I try to look into your eyes, an angel flies by
Baby, it's dumb
Look what I've become
Scum
A relic
A satellite
I was born bright
Now I'm dark as a well
A kite washed up on the shoreline
It's hell down here, it's hell
[x3]
It's hell down here, it's hell
It's hell down here, it's hell
It's hell down here, it's hell
It's hell
It's hell down here, it's hell
It's hell down here, it's hell
It's hell down here

The River
She despises the direction this city's been going in
She rises above it all, cause, after all
Someone's gotta go free and someone's gotta fall to the rhythm
Escape from New York, escape from L.A
Take it from me, leave London
You study your Braille, you listen to the hail outside
A comedy of souls, a plot thick with holes
In a windowless room on the outskirts of town overlooking the river
You're living, you're breathing
You're living, you're breathing
You try to believe what you don't believe
You wanted to go, you'll never leave
Lily-covered livers
The rich man shivers for reasons unknown in the wind
"I'm over before I begin," he says
"I'm over before I begin to go," he says
***********************************************
Girl In A Sling
Two stars
Three stars
The night sky above
Used to mean everything
To horses in love
Girl in a sling
How come
Your eyes come
In and out of focus
In the park all alone?
Early spring
Girl in a sling
[x2]
I've been sifting through these remains for years
Bitter tears, bitter pills
Oh, it sucks when there's nothing but gold in those hills
Girl, I know what you're going through
I'm going there too
Girl, I know what you're going through
I'm going there too
I'm going there too
I'm going there too, ah
I'm going there too
I'm going there too, ah
I'm going there

Times Square
Judy's beside herself
Jack's in a state of desolation
The writing on the wall wasn't writing at all
Just forces of nature in love with a radio station
You can follow a road to the ocean
Times Square
Times Square
Times Square
Oh, you could fall in love
Oh, you could fall in love
Oh, you could fall in love

Archer On The Beach
Careful now, watch your step, in you go
The Ash King’s made of ashes, the Ice Queen’s made of snow
And Archer’s where you left him, with his arrows stuck inside a peach
Awake on your crutches in the moonlight, Archer on the beach
Careful now, watch your step, in you go
The Ass King’s made of asses, the Ice Queen’s native snow
And Archer’s where you left him, with his arrows slightly out of reach
Impossible raver on your death bed, Archer on the beach
Careful now, watch your step, in you go
The Ice Queen’s made of ashes, the Ash King’s made of snow
And Archer’s where you left him, with his arrows all in a heap
Stapled to the neck of the storm, Archer on the beach
Careful now, watch your step, in you go
Careful now, watch your step, in you go
Careful now, watch your step, in you go

Midnight Meet The Rain
You make a plea for me to come to my senses
Just like the time before, the time before that
Visit the symphony and I smell a rat, well
Midnight meet the rain
Midnight meet the rain
Midnight meet the rain
You were standing on deep waters
We fill our cups with rum
And raise a toast to them
And raise a toast to the world of scum around us closing in
I travel light towards the light
I suffered a terrible fright last night
And I've got no interest in getting dressed today
To go outside and play a game you know so well
You make a plea for me to come to my senses
Just like the time before, the time before that
I visit the symphony, I smell a rat, well
Midnight meet the rain
Midnight meet the rain
Midnight meet the rain
You've been standing on deep waters
Midnight meet the rain
Midnight meet the rain
Midnight meet the rain
You've been standing on deep waters
You've been standing on deep waters
You were standing on deep waters

Solace's Bride
Solace's bride's been having second thoughts
She's had some time to think it through
Stars blink, stars go wild and expire
Stars get made from fire
Solace's bride's been having second thoughts
She's had some time to think it through
Stars blink, stars go wild and expire
Stars get made from fire
I stare at the sky so I know which way's up
I drink my wine from a porcelain cup
I fall down
Solace's bride's been having second thoughts
She's had some time to think it through
She's made up her mind but they're not gonna let her
She doesn't want to get better
She doesn't want to get better
She doesn't want to get better
She doesn't want to get better
She's solace's bride

Bangkok
Like you, I've been around the world, seen a million girls
I've seen Bangkok, I've seen Bangkok
Black, blue, red, YZ, oh very nice
Very nice
Like you, I've been around the world, worn a million pearls
I've seen Bangkok, I've seen Bangkok
I've seen Bangkok, I've seen Bangkok
So bring out your dead, bring out the light
Bring out your dark birds in flight
Bring out your red roses too
Hey, what's got into Sunny? [x4]
Oh, what's got into Sunny?
Hey, what's got into Sunny?

Sun In The Sky
You don't start the fire
You just turn it on
Yours is to always know not why
Just turn your head and walk away
Dinosaur in the ice
Buffalo on the plain
Sun in the sky still rising
Children lost in the grain
Sun in the sky still rising
Children lost in the grain
Suffering every way you'd look
Really good in that thing
I tried to write a book for you
Couldn't hold the pen, couldn't find the paper
Tender is the night
That sweeps us up in its folly
I left my keys on the kite
And my violin on the trolley
I left my keys on the kite
And my violin on the trolley
What's in that dark love?
Is it a song about Gloria?
Is it a song about love
And the stars up above?
You drink a cup of wine
To settle your nerves
You float down the Rhine
Beside your plastic bag
You float down the Rhine
Clutching a plastic bag
It's a miracle every time
I open my mouth
And silence is golden
It blinks and it sighs
It takes a look outside
At a ball on a tether
I know a lot about the light
And I heard a bit about the weather
I know a lot about the light
I heard a bit about the weather
To see you crane your neck
When the world's at war
When the world's at war
You get a tick in your neck
Some bands like the strife
Some bands like to shimmy
Bombs go off in your eye
I'm so much deeper than the damage
Bombs go off in your eye
I'm so much deeper than the damage
Dinosaur in the ice
Buffalo on the plain
Sun in the sky still rising
Sun in the sky still rising
Sun in the sky still rising
Sun in the sky
