The Start Of Something

This time of night I could call you up
 I'd get angry with athletic ease
 Break common laws in twos and threes
 If I die clutching your photograph
 Don't call me boring, It's just 'cause I like you
 Oh take me on back
 Take me on back
 And take me back
 To the place where I could feel your heart
 Is this the end or just the start of
 Something really, really beautiful
 Wrapped up and disguised as something really, really ugly
 Won't you
 Come by and see me, I'm a love letter away
 I'd break your name before I'd say I really love you, love you
 No, I don't care if you saw, I watched every inch of film
 Flash across your Roman features
 And I loved it, loved it, no I don't care if
 You think I'm eager to shut your eyes, well
 I'm sorry - everybody knows
 You can't break me with your gutter prose
 Would you believe it, she sent me a letter
 The ring, it nearly weighs her down, she's got another boy, oh boy
 Steady your ears, steady your ears and read my lips
 Poetry is not a luxury, it's how I'll break this home
 And when I'm really ill, won't you cradle me?
 Man is not a noble animal, but maybe woman is, remember
 I heard you
 Inside your room, you said "you'd never really live
 Until your back's against the wall," oh did you really mean it?
 No, I never break my gaze, if just to see this scar
 Remain reflected in your eyes
 I think it's time to go home
 ♪
 Oh, tell me your thoughts, tell me your thoughts on liberty
 Say there's a place where I sink to sleeping
 She said "Oh my vote is as red as my blood"
 Will you join me for another round?
 I haven't had the chance to speak yet
 Godspeed
 I break the law once every week to feel your touch
 What's a book to you in bed? Do you feel better, older?
 Say this just makes me ill, your name is dripping from my pen
 Still you're not around to curse
 Oh God I'll drop the gun now, say I'm still under you

 Marianne, let the ghosts sleep tonight
 Marianne, let the ghosts sleep
 Just shut your eyes and burn the past
 Marianne, let the ghosts sleep tonight
 Marianne, let the ghosts sleep
 Just shut your eyes and burn the past
 Marianne, let the ghosts sleep tonight
 Marianne, let the ghosts sleep
 Just shut your eyes and burn the past
 Marianne, let the ghosts sleep tonight
 Marianne, let the ghosts sleep
 Just shut your eyes and burn the past away
