Monuments to an Elegy

[Verse 1]

Away, away foul dreams

You're gonna listen now to me

No rules, or in-betweens

You're gonna listen now to me

Waste all your time

Find another kind of boy

A feint up on the line

A phantom I don't care to hold

[Pre-Chorus]

Come on along on an eastern shore

Come on along you're mine

Come on along on a winter's morn

Come on along you're mine

You're mine

[Chorus]

In sight, the drum and fife with steam

Racing scene to scene

To break this beast with need

Cause I will bang this drum to my dying day

[Verse 2]

In mind. A fetching June

You're gonna listen now to me

What's done, what's left as ruin

You're gonna listen now to me

[Pre-Chorus]

Come on along on an eastern shore

Come on along you're mine

Come on along on a winter's morn

Come on along you're mine

You're mine

[Chorus]

In sight, the drum and fife with steam

Racing scene to scene

To break this beast in need

To remedy what's been bleeding

'Cause I will bang this drum to my dying

I will bang this drum to my dying

I will bang this drum to my dying day

'Cause I will bang this drum to my dying day

[Bridge]

Don't you ever be afraid

Don't you ever be afraid

Don't you ever be afraid

No more, no more, no more

[Refrain]

'Cause I will bang this drum to my dying day

(Don't you ever be afraid)

'Cause I will bang this drum to my dying

I will bang this drum to my dying

I will bang this drum to my dying day

'Cause I will bang this drum

What have you done?

Dorian

As you run, a setting sun

Dorian

A setting sun, it finds you

Is it always as you thought?

Is it always as you want?

Dorian, Dorian

Dorian, Dorian

Dorian, Dorian

Dorian

What have you done?

Dorian

Oh my child, when our number's up and done

It's what they'd sought

Dorian

As you run, a setting sun

Dorian

A fleeting dream that binds you

Is it always as you thought?

Is it always as you want?

Dorian, Dorian

Dorian, Dorian

Dorian, Dorian

Dorian, Dorian

Dorian, what have you done?

Dorian

My setting sun

Dorian, Dorian

Dorian, Dorian

Whoever binds you

Whoever finds you

[Verse 1]

Never been kissed by a girl like you

All I wanna, I wanna do

Love me baby, love me true, ooh

Everything I want, I had to have

And with madness, it's love that's sad

Trust little baby, oh can't you see?

Ooh, it's me

[Pre-Chorus]

Ode to the alien weekend

What they bring starts to turn slow

You said should have borne weakness

And built that happy home

[Chorus]

With a girl like you

All I wanna, I wanna do

Love me baby, oh can't you please?

Ooh, with a girl like you

Vroom, with a girl like you, ooh

With a girl like you

[Verse 2]

Times that preach how it's been

As I stroll in turn without

You're so alone they'll let you in

Ooh, if they let you in

[Pre-Chorus]

Odes to the alien weekend

Sold where it starts to burn slow

You said should have borne weakness

And built my happy home

[Chorus]

With a girl like you

All I wanna, I wanna do

Love me baby, oh can't you please?

Ooh, with a girl like you

Vroom, with a girl like you, ooh

With a girl like you

[Bridge]

You can say I will listen

You can swear 'no more'

You can blur all tradition 'till I'm bored

With a girl like you

With a girl like you, ooh

With a girl like you, ooh, ooh

[Outro]

I'm so alive with a girl like you

I'm so alive with a girl like you

Trust little baby, can't you please?

Vroom, a girl like you
