(i) Old Haunts

I found a home in the darkness, found a home in
the darkness, found a home in the darkness, Empty
stomach empty head a body fills a vacant bed, and
the thunder rolls by, and the rains come, and the
days gone and I wonder where I am.

Found a place in the darkness, found a home in the
darkness, in the darkness, home, in the darkness.

A crowded room of passers by and in the shadows
strangers cry, and the ghosts try to hide, when
the rains come, when the storms form, when I
wonder who I am in the darkness, Home.

(ii) Digging Deep.

Digging deep in the darkness, digging it deep down
deep down deep down digging it Deep in the
darkness, digging it deep, down deep, down, deep
down digging it Deep in the darkness, digging it
deep, down, down, down, down, digging it Deep in
the darkness, digging it down, deep down, deep,
down deep digging it

We watched an insect stray to the edge of it's
world, a lily pad stretched over a green mirror in
which the ghost carp swirl like clouds before a
storm. This is the season of the rains, This is
incoming.

And when it came their was no cover, no place to
hide, vision blurred, hard to breathe, trying hard
to hold onto something that's real. Nothing left,
nowhere to go, no open road it's washed away by
swollen streams, carried off downriver with all my
broken dreams.

Digging deep in the darkness, digging it deep,
down deep down deep, deep, digging it Deep in the
darkness, digging it deep down, down, down, down
digging it Deep in the darkness, digging it deep,
digging it digging it, digging it, Deep in the
darkness, digging it deep down, deep down, deep
down, digging it.

A tethered goat bleats from the corner of the
graveyard where the lizards hang motionless as the
angels of stone above them, their broken wings
throwing long shadows into the grass where the
scorpions hide. The tigers are running out of
jungle.

In the end I was tired of being asked if I could
say that I was Happy Now, as if you need me to
convince you that everything's OK. Would you take
me back?

Digging deep in the darkness, digging it deep,
down deep, down deep, deep digging it Deep in the
darkness, digging it deep, down, down, down, down,
down, digging it, Deep in the darkness, digging it
deep, deep down, deep, deep, digging it, Deep in
the darkness, down, down, down, down, down, down
digging it.

Are you happy now? You keep asking, asking am I
happy now? Why can't you tell me that I'm happy
now? Are you happy now? Happy now? Happy now?

2. Chocolate Frogs

The bloated corpses of unsolved murders and old
revolutions, pirouette and dance amongst the
swirls and eddies in their final procession down
the muddy river to the delta where they're thrown
up by the surf onto sterile beaches or are trapped
in the roots of mangrove cathedrals of the islands
that gather in the bay.

These are the first arrivals on this new horizon
that will be coveted by strangers who will deposit
themselves on these shores to build towers to the
heavens. The storm will come and the rains will
fall and remove their dreams and hopes once again
to the waters that surround them. And while they
pray the frogs will chant in the darkness

A heid full of chocolate frogs, a body full of
rush, a pocketful of shrapnel and a skinfull of
Find more similar lyrics on http://mp3lyrics.com/Ug7bush, an eyefull of the future and a belly full of
the past, how beautiful the present when you know
it cannae last.

A tumblerful of voddie, two fingers in a glass, a
handful of promises, a heart full of remorse,
mindful of your manners when you're brought down
to your knees, a heid full of chocolate frogs is
all you gave to me, That's all you gave to me,
that's all you gave to me,

A spoonful of miracles a nostril full of dust a
lung full of Virginia the needs we have we must, a
pill to put your heart right a nose out for a deal
for a heid full of chocolate frogs what can you
give to me? What did you give to me? What did you
give to me? What did you give to me?

3- Waving At Stars.

You cracked up too soon before the punchline hit
home and at the end of the joke did you notice
that no-one was laughing with you. You were out on
your own, Waving at trains, waving at cars, waving
from bars, waving from aeroplanes, might as well
be waving at stars,

You called out her name as the darkness hit home,
raised up your Zippo and opened the skies till the
crowd melts away, at the end of the day, you ran
out of light, Praying for rain, praying for signs,
praying for time, praying for endless night, might
as well be wishing on stars

4. Raingods Dancing

Empty churches, empty pews, in the subway nothing
moves and the static on the radio is drowning out
the sound of Raingod's dancing, Empty playgrounds,
empty bars, I can't remember how it was before the
flood when all I had to do was recognise the love
that's trapped inside.

I gave it all, I took it back and in the end
there's nothing left except a shell surrounding
emptiness and loneliness, a core of pain, I see my
pathway shining.

Raingods with Zippo's, a tinman hides a broken
heart, Raingods with Zippo's, he knows the flame
has gone that soon he'll fall apart,

So I lay me down to lie and with the rain my
lullaby I drift away to dreamless sleep, leave
behind a life that died, a victim of a Plague of
Ghosts I was wrapped up in my guilt buried deep
within my memories, a shelter of self-pity that I
know the rain will wash away, I sense the storm
arriving.

Raingods with Zippo's, a tin man rusts away and
slowly falls apart, Raingods with Zippo's and all
he leaves behind a bleeding broken heart.

(Part ii) The Wake -Up Call (Make It Happen)

In the end I found beginnings, not a vision, a
wake up call, raised from the dead by a beating
heart and at last I can see it all and my eyes
were opened to the darkness, in my hand a burning
flame, a spark of life to touch the fuse and blow
these clouds away, I can make it happen, if I want
to, Make it happen, if I try, Forgive, forget,
forever never means as much as it does today, make
it happen, we can make it happen, we can make it
happen.

When I wake up, will you be there? It can never be
the same. If we can take our lives slowly, step by
step, we can be dancing in the rain, We can make
it happen, we can make it happen, make it happen,
forgive, forget, forever means today, make it
happen, we can make it happen, We can make it
happen, forgive, forget, forever means today, Make
it happen.
