I felt so happy
I got lost in the life
I even let it take me
I never said goodbye
This is the last time
We never said goodbye
I just want to sink down
And close my eyes
When it gets cold at night
Press your hips to mine
I could stay with you
For the rest of my life
I'm out of my mind
I know I'm not mine
Where do you end?
Where do I begin?
This is the last time
I'll never love again
I felt so happy
I got lost in the lie
As far as I can see
I'm blinded by the light
When it gets cold at night
Press your lips to mine
I could stay
For the rest of my life
But I gave you mine
Where do you end?
Where do I begin?
This is the last time
I'll never love again
We never said goodbye
This is the last dime (5x)

We can always take it
If we want it
You know it's better off
In our hands
Throw it back in their faces
They won't even dare
You know they're all so crazy
No one would even care
They say it's all stolen
Either way it's mine
You can always fake it
And say it's a lie
We can always take it
If we want it
You know it's better off
In our hands
Throw it back in their faces
We did it better
You know they're all so filthy
It doesn't matter
You say it's all stolen
Either way it's mine
We can always take it
Again
Any time

It's been a while since
She's been around
With her leather jacket
And fishnet stockings
A pack of
Marlboro lights
Is it really her?
Could it really be?
Yes, it's the same maligned
Mary
People talk about her
What she does
And who she sees
Sometimes they even
Talk about me
They talk about her past
What she's done
And who she used to be
They throw their stones so high
At Mary
Is it really her?
Could it really be?
Yes it's the same maligned
Mary
It's been a while since she's been around...

Won't it rain?
And wash away my pain
Cause when it pours
See me fly through open doors
I know I'm getting
Weak and old
My heart turned
Brittle and cold
Long ago
So long ago
Innocence
Fills me with hate
When children drown
I complain
To the sky
About the noise
And wag my cane
People stop and stare
They're unaware
Of the storm that's
On the horizon
It's alright
I know I'm getting
Weak and old
My heart turned
Brittle and cold
Long ago
So long ago

Your legs go limp
Your eyes roll back
Your heavy body is cold
Falling down in my arms
Give yourself some time
Take it slow
Give your heart some time
Then you'll know
Show a lust for life
As it grows
You feel a lust for life
When you overdose
Mr. Williams
I've been dead for some time
Make your prison my hell
I still love you
Why?
I do
Your mother kicked me out the door
You don't talk to me anymore
Mr. Williams
What was it for?
I must've asked you ten times
Don't you close your eyes
Mr. Williams
I've been dead for some time
Don't believe the lies
I'd never hurt you like I do
I do
Inflict the the pain
With the lies
Blue and red
Flashing lights
I'll bear the shame
Of your crimes
Blue and red flashing lights
You turn on the gaslight
Mr. Williams
I've been dead for some time
Make your sickness my hell
I still love you
I do
Turn on the gaslight

What's that emptiness?
It's the warmth you feel inside
What's that changing face?
Don't you recognize
Your inner light?
The agony of happiness
The agony that never ends
Welcome the reign of night
The moon is out
The stars shine bright
I only want to feel
The pain inside
The agony of happiness
The agony never ends
No never ends

Any of Gyves' two albums are great but "Solomon's Seal" is the reason I choose this album.
