lyrics

Every light goes on
When I'm in your vicinity

The pageantry and carnival of the misty streets
Makes it seem like a sensate walk of life
Like a half-dream and a string of countless lines
Is the promise of the night and streets and singing

Every light goes on
When I'm in your vicinity

All the crazy qualities which spoil a dozen romances
Dulled by the waves that washed over us
All the time together was just like a breathless hush
And we feared that the paradise like spell would break

(every light goes on when I'm in your vicinity)

The spell became a trance with life transmitted by our love
All ambitions, fell, into the corner sound asleep
And I'm so happy that I'm frightened wouldn't it be awful
If we came to find out this was just the high point?

I'm not his I'm yours I don't belong to him I'm yours
Now I know for the first time what a kiss can mean
Beauty means the end of agony, we're beautiful
So we know that our love is Divine possessed

Two Consecutive Songs
by theydon boys

Terrific experimentation. Highly enjoyable. Moves gracefully along in an obtuse sort of way. Fun, but meditative. Skiprope Opus

JUNE
by Japanese Breakfast

Japanese Breakfast's album "June" is also definitely worth checking out. One song for every day. It's quite brilliant, really. Skiprope Opus
