Vacancy

約瑟夫亞瑟( Joseph Arthur ) Vacancy歌詞
1.Hang Around Here

Lyrics:Joseph Arthur
Music:Joseph Arthur
Arranger:Joseph Arthur

Your tongue is a razor blade
(should be) careful of the things you say
('cause you) you speak your mind at me all day
(of stitching) of stitching up the games we play

Hey yeah, don't have to hang around here
Hang around here
I keep getting left behind

Hey yeah, don't have to hang around here
Hang around here
I'll go someplace I can't be found

I'll hang like my picture of you
The one I took of you coming down
Your sitting on the sideways chair
My feet never touch the ground

Hey yeah, don't have to hang around here
Hang around here
I keep getting left behind

Hey yeah, don't have to hang around here
Hang around here
I'll go someplace I can't be found
I'll go someplace I can't be found
I'll go someplace I can't be found
I'll go someplace I can't be found


2.Bed Of Nails

Lyrics:Joseph Arthur
Music:Joseph Arthur
Arranger:Joseph Arthur

In the past I'm burning in the flame of hope
Trouble come and turn me into solid smoke
In your bar I drink until I can't stand up
Your drowning heart in the bottom of my cup

You are hurting but you are learning
I'm still burning while I'm living
In my own world
On a bed of nails

No one here I would even think to trust
I would disappear but someone just stole my crutch
You're not here but then again you're nowhere else
In the spinning chair melting all around yourself

You are hurting but you are learning
I'm still burning but you are living
In your own world
On a bed of nails
In your own world
On a bed of nails


3.Prison

Lyrics:Joseph Arthur
Music:Joseph Arthur
Arranger:Joseph Arthur

Help me find a reason
In my darkest time
To open up my heart
And survive
Help me gain my vision
As I stand here blind
Looking out for a place to be
Helpless and free
Where no one will recognize me

A prison inside myself
I look at you
I think I need your help
To make it through
Can you find the reason
To put it down
But you love the poison
You found
And all that you've been using
To get you through
Soon you'll see
That it was using you
A prison inside myself...


4.Making Mistakes

Lyrics:Joseph Arthur
Music:Joseph Arthur
Arranger:Joseph Arthur

I can't feel now anybody
Buried under who I am
Just another one of many
Wishing we could start again
Making mistakes
To kill some time
Waking up with the shakes
And a poisoned mind
I know that you might not feel the way I do
Still I hope you're going to come around

I don't need an explanation
Walking through your junkyard
I've reached the bottom of addiction
Just to make it to where we are
Lying on a killing floor
With a frozen spine
Back to where I was before
Only worse this time
I know that you might not feel the way I do
Still I hope you're going to come around

I've been locked up with my shadow
Bouncing off these crazy walls
Surrounded by all kinds of darkness
Praying for a light to fall
So if forgiveness avoids you
And all your love is soft like clay
I hope you will think to call me
You know I would be on my way
Making mistakes
Across state lines
Sweeping up the dirt
In my broken mind
I know that you might not feel the way I do
Still I hope you're going to come around
What I hope you're going to come around
And I hope you're going to come around


5.Vacancy

Lyrics:Joseph Arthur
Music:Joseph Arthur
Arranger:Joseph Arthur

I know you're always alone
Looking for someone, a home
Don't wait for me
I'll be all right
In the ocean of your mind

I know I've seen better days
Walking through life like a maze
But I can see
You'll be alright
In the ocean of my mind

Turn on your light
Shining vacancy
With you I'm lost
Like a shell in the sea
But I'll pray for you
I hope you will pray for me

I know you're always alone
Looking for someone, a home
I know you're always alone
Looking for someone, a home
Don't wait for me
I'll be all right
In the ocean of your mind
And you'll be alright
In the ocean of my mind


6.Crying On Sunday

Lyrics:Joseph Arthur
Music:Joseph Arthur
Arranger:Joseph Arthur

Crying on Sunday
After church
To wake up on Monday
Everything's worse
Forgive me on Tuesday
Or live with the curse
Of crying on Sunday
After church

We believe in redemption
Yet we follow regrets
To the ones we are trying always to love
And respect

Crying on Sunday
The virgin gave birth
To wake up on Monday
Without her purse
Destroy me on Tuesday
I only get worse
For crying on Sunday
After church

I've never been so sure of love - love
I've never been so sure of love - love
I've never been so sure of love - love
I've never been so sure of love - love

We believe in redemption
But we follow regret
To the ones we are trying always to love
And respect

Crying on Sunday
After church
To wake up on Monday
Everything still hurts
Forgive me on Tuesday
Or be damned with the curse
Of crying on Sunday
After church


7.Toxic Angel

Lyrics:Joseph Arthur
Music:Joseph Arthur
Arranger:Joseph Arthur

Cold hearts pound all around
But I found my angel
In the desert looking all around
For someone to strangle
In chains
Like a mad dog barking over what you've done
So strange
That the one you need is the one you shun

Could you follow me down
With a love like yours
I don't know if I'm able
To keep my feet on the ground
With a mind like mine you know it's never stable

Are you near
Are you near
Are you near
Are you near

All my dreams underneath the ground
But I found my angel
Kicked off of the merry-go-round
By some toxic stranger
In pain
Like the way you feel when you know you can't complain
So strange
That the one who saved you is the one you still blame

Could you follow me down
With a love like yours
I don't know if I'm able
To keep my feet on the ground
With a mind like mine you know it's never stable


8.Hidden Track

I'm going out tonight
