lyrics

Scripture torn into phrases
coupled with hatred
should I buy a gun?

And stories of walking on water
of talking with fire
who’s got nothing to prove?

And cloudy the vision of power
the peaceful revolver
it’s a parachute smile

And now on 5th Avenue
New York has a monster
will you let him eat you?

It’s all postcards and dismay and it’s filling up my head
all beauty and decay and it’s filling up my head
it’s escape, it’s cake, it’s eating up my brain
it’s a fix, its a plague
and I want to run away

The choice, do you write a song
or change a diaper?
you’ll die either way

My friend, he kept all his secrets
in the shadows of trophies
then jumped off a cliff

And love becomes a decision
when there’s a vision
of ’til death do us part

And death pulled a knife on my father
it was tainted with cancer
but the fight went to him

It’s all postcards and dismay and it’s filling up my head
all beauty and decay and it’s filling up my head
it’s escape, it’s cake, it’s eating up my brain
it’s a fix, its a plague
and I want to run away

At night I dream of devotion
of love in motion
on the edge of the bed

And I’m drawn to that place held by winter
where the bend in the river
gives a bow to the sky

A cluster, my heart doesn’t tire
the eight legs of spiders
will it all fall apart?

The birds have located the morning
they came without warning
I’m happy
they’re beyond
my control

It’s all postcards and dismay and it’s filling up my head
all beauty and decay and it’s filling up my head
it’s escape, it’s cake, it’s eating up my brain
it’s a fix, its a plague, a banana peel parade
it’s a farce, it’s your heart
it’s something that you ate
it’s heaven on a plate
and I want to run away

Kliffs Berlin, Germany

Kliffs write recycled tone poems for the perpetually bemused, and pop songs for shy dancers. They channel the quiet of early morning sun rays tickling cloud banks and mix it up with songs better suited to late-night inner city bicycle rides.
