Edification

Mar 09, 2006 10:45

So the Sisters did play three unreleased songs on Tuesday:

Summer
talking at each other
walking into walls
walking into wishful
I've heard it all before

another shade of empty
another shade of blue
another shade of yellow, sunset yellow
another shade of you
can make it summer
and make it shine

it's raining in the doorway
paint your face once more
paint the walls away now
I've seen it all before

another shade of empty
another shade of blue
another shade of yellow, sunset yellow
another shade of you
can make it summer
and make it shine

Slept
Oh shake me down again
Oh fade me down again
Oh shake me down again
I can wake up in this zoo
I've been used and abused,
I've been chastened and bruised,
I'm ashamed of what I've been through
i've been naked on the news,
i've been debased and disabused
So I can wake up in this zoo

So turn me over, turn me in,
I have slept with all the girls in Berlin

Girls on smoke and girls on weed,
Girls on coke and on girls on speed,
Girls who choke, girls that smile,
Girls who swallow in denial,
Girls in crisis over head,
Eyes, eyes as wide as Egypt,
Girls who weep and girls who stripped,
Girls in bars and girls on tips,
Girls on journeys, girls on trips,
Girls on gurneys, girls on drips,
And a girl too far with pale blue lips,
So shake me down again
Somebody hesitate
And girls who knew the sailor's creed
with a third degree of jealousy

So turn me over, turn me in,
I have slept with all the girls in Berlin
