Liv Kristine - Skintight lyrics



Tracks



01. Skintight

Time's up for you
You know I will unzip the truth
You lied yes you tried
You misbehaving thief
Of lovers and grooms

Hands up for you
Not a chance in the universe
You'll fail or loose
'Cause he's mine always mine
My found missing link
Now you see why I am

Skintight like a minder
Holding off the enemy
From my lover's ardour
He is mine only mine

In the still of the night you appear
There's a spy in your eyes
So I'll bite off that gleam
You're not a stargazer
You want my lover's delight

Soundless like a tiger
I am sneaking upon my enemies
I'm his lifesaver
And I'll bite if you try
You don't really wanna try

I see the spy in your eyes
But I'm skintight skintight

02. Twofold

My question was honest
I'd made up my mind
Then why do I shiver
Talking to him

There's something about him
Something I fear
His eyes hide a hardness
I cannot bear

Don't leave me alone
You can't just deceive me and go
Twofold
His love turning cold
Oh no

His answer was twofold
I ran into doubt
Then why does he tyrannize
My good-natured soul

His mind's all twisted
Twisted and different
He'll walk all over me
If I let him

Don't leave me alone
I can't just leave him and go
Twofold
His feelings are cold
Mmm

Don't leave
Me alone
Don't leave
Me alone

You can't just leave me
Can't just leave me

03. Train To Somewhere

I want to lay here
My head's going 'round
Stay right here between there and anywhere

I want to live now and get away with it
I need to feel the steam and let temptation win

I want to sin right now and leave no fingerprints
Put the safety chain on
Don't forget your tiepin baby

Catch the train to somewhere
All abroad at six to noon
I want to curl up at the sunset
Count the stars in hollywood
Make your life a little brighter now
Have a slice of freedom baby
Catch the train to somewhere

Don't want to sacrifice another day's wait
Hesitation overruled
I'm ready for my bite
Ready for my bide
Ready for my ride

Let's catch the train to somewhere
All abroad it's six to noon
I want to cruise along the
Sunset boulevard in hollywood
Catch the train to somewhere

That's my ride to somewhere

04. Love In Grey

You walked away with truth
Hid it in a thought so there's no proof
Visible audible
Now thrust is in a thimble
Needles sticking through

What is love in grey
Memories are fading away
I left passion on a nail
You never ever whisper my name
I am a shade
Love is turning grey
What is love in grey

The gravity of our promises
Gradually abused
You turned me down
Consequences got confused
Lust locked in a drawer
Key thrown away for good

Oh my love
Is turning to grey

05. Emotional Catastrophe

I like the way you're holding me
You like the way I swear to you
We're stumbling through this tragedy
But I've switched the lines now
Yes I did

You know I smile of you being a fool
But I get so tired of watching you
Oh bitter curiosity
Tell me what this really means
Is it real

Emotional catastrophes
Another unhappy end facing me
You play the joker
In this foolish tragedy aha

Because you caused in me a tragedy
Another unintentional I'm-sorry deed
You think you played the ace
But then you lost the game
Losing me aha

Is it me
Is it you
Is it real

06. Life Line

Where am I floating to
Where am I going
Touch the surface
Of a lonely wave

Forget that I'm afraid
My heart-beat takes me
One second further
One thought forward

I claim to be myself
The race of a warrior
I might crash against these rocks
But I will hold on to my lifeline

Where am I floating to
Where am I going
My strength on trail
Breath in salty sea

Too far for me to see
The land of ever-green
And island landscapes
Fairer than the sun

Rain on me
Cover me with gold
Gods let me through
The gates of the sun

Deep in my own self
The race of a warrior
I might crash against these rocks

But I will hold on to my lifeline
To my life line

07. Boy At The Window

Passing houses
Passing walls
Concrete swallows all my thoughts

Rushing to win time
Rushing for more
These flattering figures
Admired by the masses

A tree at the crossing
A tree is a park
A beaming green spot
Enlightens my mind

Tempting nightlife
Tea-room talks
Never touch the core

Boy at the window
Boy always running into loneliness
The boy at the window
His mind is blue
Divided by love and hate
For the life he never knew

Blessed by the city
Absent gods
They don't hide in the concrete
Or in bewildered dogs

Blinded by grey
Blinded by one smile
I should have waved at him
I should have

Boy at the window
Boy always running into loneliness
Boy at the window
Boy wants to tear down loneliness
I saw the boy at the window
Boy wants to tear down loneliness
I know the child at the window
Would break the pane to get through
And reach out for the love inside you
The love he never knew
The life he never knew

08. Wonders

I learned to love
I learned to give
When I was little and all around me seemed to live

I learned to swim in the sea
To run across endless fields
Time and space was so unreal

You showed me a wonder in everything
You were the calming voice that spoke the truth
And I knew the day would turn to night
Every time you dimmed the light
And the moon dimmed my mind

Oh I was so proud
Of my new red-velvet gown

I learned to sing then I talked
I sang all day all those songs
I loved to fly on sunday's clouds

You picked me up after school
Because the boys were so rude
Until the day I hit back too

Oh how I cried that day
A pearl was hiding in my ear
Remember I was scared
Black panthers underneath my bed

You showed me the wonders of every spring
You were the calming voice that talked so wise
And I knew the day was close at hand
Every time you dimmed the light

And the moon dimmed my mind
Oh then the day would turn to night

09. Versified Harmonies

We are here
Cafe tunes
Talking friends' news
Watch the world rushing by
Coffee fills the air
Cinnamon-taste pleasure
Have a share

I try so hard to say it right
But every time I meet your eyes
I just can't get the lines together

But now my love is versified
The secret I have kept inside
I'll say it right I'll get it right

When you blush
You watch your hands
Avoid the sense of being seen
Avoid the pauses in between

Versified harmonies

Every time you blush
I do pretend
I didn't notice I didn't mind
So I breathe a sigh into the air

I need to tell you something
Versified harmonies
I want to tell you something
Versified harmonies
I need to tell you something

You and me
Cafe blues
Talking half-truths
Save the world over a cup of tea
Most certainly

I'd rather swim
In a spoon of honey

10. The Rarest Flower

Run run through your life
And have fun
Olive-green rainbows above you

Loving is easy
Myriads of chances to go
So much to see

Slide slide through a pinhole of gold
But don't spread your wings it's a no-jump

Loving is easy
When leaving is easy
The rarest flower is easily picked
But it withers always

Grow and outlive your mistakes
We all hope for a milder fate

Loving is easy
But don't justify greed's ways
So much we want

Then our world falls asleep
At the end of the day
But what is too much will decay

And loosing is easy
When taking is easy
The rarest flower is easily owned
But it always withers

Running through your life
All is moving fast
Run for fun
Pick the flowers
Grab the flowers oh

Sliding through time
Thinking is a crime
Pick the flowers
Pretty flowers
Get the flowers oh

We justify greed's ways
We play the holy game
Musk and perfume
Smell like fortune

We love
The flowers
Smell the
Flowers
Child
