Live at Malibu Sound

by The Sylvia Platters

1.
Scraped over knees, blue juniper Thirteen and hid behind the church Pick out the faintest 8-bit psalm Put out the embers in your palm Fixed within their sights They had us dead to rights Sunday Ironclad ordinance herein But that’s no way to take you in Flying so high, no commissar You’re contraband when I’m at large Fixed within your gaze There’s nothing but the rain Blue jay Fixed without a cage They told you once You misbehave You’re never going to leave the ground again Unfiltered brand, it’s your delight To smoke an everlasting light Falling through the night Much better in hindsight Blue jay Someday Blue jay

Ba ba da ba da ba da Ba ba da da Ba ba da ba da ba da Ba ba da da I was up there somewhere, dreaming Dreaming about you The way you move with the changing seasons Nothing I can do There you were Just to silhouette the window frame There I was I guess I still got someone to blame, yeah Ba ba da ba da ba da Ba ba da da Ba ba da ba da ba da Ba ba da da All along I've been thinking it's one Sad way to fill up my time Poltergeist with the broadway mater Won't you drop me a line There you were Just beside me for an hour or two There I was Realizing what a fool can do, ooh There you were Just to silhouette a window frame There I was I hope to god I didn't mention your name, yeah

Spittle, foam, and bluster Never met the muster From a guilty chancer Dredging up some old sins So bored of this insurrection With no unearned affection Phantom warships Crown the distance Passing through Passing through you Wailing grave abandon But I can’t hardly stand in The wake of your deflection Phantom warships Still and listless Silent fathoms Spinning endless Passing through Passing through You When are you going to stay upright Sinking bottles, day and night? Cast aspersions just to hide Your tender vessel’s battered pride
4.
Fade in burns your edges white Nothing can make the season right All day long you play a game of shadow steps Behind the walls of your bedroom basement, lights out Within the frame A picture of forgotten feelings Outside has changed But the circuits to your heart, they still remain Make me illuminate again Drawing out a last effect Drawing in a final breath Diving headlong into rooms you left unswept behind the door Alone and malcontent Within the frame A picture of forgotten feelings Outside has changed But the circuits to your heart, they still remain Make me illuminate again
5.
Don't turn away When I'm looking for the words to Make it okay They never come today Holding onto What you'd like to lose Let it fall away Maybe you don't need to explain When it closes in Familiar places that you've been I'm running, too, To the trouble I thought we knew Holding onto What you'd like to lose Let it fall away Maybe you don't need to explain Don't turn away When I'm looking for the words to say Nothing's okay And what have you got to gain? Holding onto What you'd like to lose Let it fall away Maybe you don't need to explain
