I will admit I am embarrassed by your grace
And the complete look of boredom upon your face
You want to be a million miles from this place
You want to get on with my untimely disgrace.

I am alone I am in love with an idea
Sophisticated Neurological appeals
I want to negotiate some kind of a deal

There's this place that I know
where they say everything slow
You are the one I would take with me
It's the perfect place to be with a girl like you
if you wanted to we could leave right now
It's the perfect time
It's the perfect day we should get away come on let's go

All you precious souls
And the ?
Or bargain basement loves
To come and ? us
Til you're having visions of these fine conditions
Overseas transmissions to anyone who will listen

You're waiting for your drums to kick in

Come on empty your conscience and come clean for me
I would empty my pockets, times are lean you see
And they got us right where they want use
We're just cogs in the machine
Come on empty your conscience and come clean for me

Oh tonight we'll sleep the sleep of angels
We won't have time

I'm concentrate on teh wrong side of the law
From the creator
of this beautiful strip mall
A decimator of the cinder block world
A ventilator of the rallying call
One by one I take them on
this will be my revolucion
One by one they will be gone

When she wakes up
I'm gonna break up
With that girl of mine

She's been spending all my money
All of my spare time

I've put up with a lot

Sacrificial sailing feeling super melodramas
and I know I wasn't seeing things too clear
and that's when all the works of fiction started
and now I'm socially retarded
and everything for once is mighty clear

and there were holes in her story
and the air smelled of deceit

Sweetheart
How I miss your heart
Beating next to mine

The right words
Were always hard to find
When all our time was fine
When darling you were mine, all mine

Oh go easy there, cousin
There's a storm a-comin'
Better quit your runnin' and back down
I ain't lyin' to you, mister
Certifiable twister
Headed straight for the center of this town

And oh yes my brothers

Tiptoe past the graveyard
On our best behavior
We're too you to die
Too gorgeous and way too high
Don't dwell on the tragic
When weaving through traffic
They all fall in line
All part of a grand design

You and I look good together
This day is getting a lot better
Let's get inside out of this weather
And there is no one loves you better
Than me my dear

You and I we're not so different
Exhaustible and inefficient

Hit them where hurts
Listen for what it's worth
Hi them where it hurts
They only care
what is it worth?
It was a long long time ago
You found me naked
by the side of the road

Hold your grandmother's Bible to your breast.
Gonna put it to the test.
You want it to be blessed.
And in your heart,
You know it to be true,
You know what you gotta do.
They all depend on you.
And you already know.

Oh my love
It won't Let me sleep
It pulls the blankets right off of my feet
It tears the very fabric of my dream

And my heart, won't let me leave
It's pealing itself off my sleeve
It's feeding me false memories

It's not my place to speak of these things
I know it's bad luck and curses it brings
But it's impossible for me to avoid
The boy you once loved, I think I have destroyed

And I really should just let it go
It's clearly out of my control
I should be cold, I should be detached

It goes ashes to ashes
From dawn 'til dusk
I am drowning in rivers
And oceans of lust

oh sweet lamb of god
Whose side are you on?
Oh sweet mother of pearl

On this sacriment,
our lovers vows,
You wear them like a holy shroud;
and I cant get a word in;
and I sit here, learing at you.
I'm seeing things, through a young mothers eyes;
as a poison sunrise,
is hanging in the sky,

Well this is one place where
Your gods can't dwell
It's like walking in
To the mouth of hell
Sweating our dignities out on the subway
At the beginning of another long, long day

As for my mortal remains

Well it was just like
You said it would be
No big secret here
There's no mystery

In fact it was called
And we got it from both ends
Now I know they're never

I can draw a straight line
Through my mind
Right back to the good times
Back when all the stars were aligned
Before all the paperwork got signed
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
It's like a straight shot
Through the backyards and the vacant lots

It’s an elusive thing
This love of which we sing
What are we doing,
What are we doing?

And I will give you anything,
Just please don’t stop singing,
The world would stop spinning…

It's all the same for all of us
A sinking ship to place to trust
It seems so huge to leave to chance.

Who among you can resist?
Her fingers wrapped around your wrist
From the beast she pulls a lover
From this world you will need no other

It don't look right
In broad day light
It don't feel right
to me
If you win the rat race
If you come in first place
Then a rat is all you will be

I snatched you away from the jaws of the world
But I drank up her oceans and dried up her pearls.
I acted reprehensibly.
I acted like she was sent here for me.
Gold in the water, and under the water
And the richer man gave his lovely daughter
for lack of decency.
She robbed a thief like me.

Oh it's never too late
To co-conspire commiserate
All it takes is a little bit of love and an awful lot of hate

Is it real?
Does it exist
I know it's wrong
But who am I to resist

Oh it's hard to resist
On a night like this
Impossible to withstand
When you're holding my heart in your hand
Lay down where ever you please
Under the moon cloud masterpeice
May our conscience be devoured
By the sweetness of the hour

I'll go away 'til there's no-oe around
Leave your house when the sun goes down
plant myself at the first bar I see
pour a thousand drinks and dream
You'll be gone for one more day
I'll watch you slip falling further away from us

You were right this place is haunted

They're just words, they ain't worth nothing,
Cloud your head and push your buttons.
And watch how they just disappear
When we're far away from here.

And everybody knows where this is heading,
Forgive me for forgetting,
Our hearts irrevocably combined.

There is no moon reflecting in your eyes
no romantic midnight skies
no motive to diguise
It's not your man that you're dreaming of
your heart couldn't care enough
you're too tired to be in love

You wnat to know, what's that god awful sound

Lady future's arms are lily white
They stretch before you come inside
there is room enough
She is generous
come on, come up
while we're still young
You want to love your life from a prison?
Of all this uninvited altruism

Father,
you know where I have been and
you know what I have done
they say that you see everything
so you know I never hurt no one
What I have stolen won't be missed
By those who had so much, so long
We'll soon be laughing about this

DeVotchKa — американская группа из четырёх мульти-инструменталистов, исполняющая музыку в смешанном стиле, сочетающем в себе фолк-рок, инди-рок, еврейский клезмер, цыганские романсы и славянские напевы. DeVotchKa возникла в Чикаго в 1995 году. В составе группы было всего два человека — Джон Эллисон и, нынешний лидер группы и автор многих песен, Ник Урата.

Название для своей группы Ник Урата выбрал из «Заводного апельсина» Энтони Бёрджесса. Как сказал Ник:
"Это очень важный роман, не только потому, что это просто офигенная книга, но и потому, что Берджесс создал абсолютно новый диалект, который к тому же очень круто звучит. Русские слова в нём приправлены мелодикой английского воровского арго. Слово «devotchka» показалось мне самым сексуальным словом в мире."

Mass halucination on the ballroom floor
and an ancient rite of passage on the shit house door
you keep stealing all my cigerettes
and your whiskey breath
is drowning out the words you're saying
but go ahead, get 'em off your chest

And I feel it in the marrow of my lazy bones

Under the mother eyes of the Mexican sky
She was happy and it shows in the sun
And it was fate laid in stone
Sacred heart, sacred ground
Her two children and we moved as one

And you said you loved me
You said you loved me
