Come here my darling Eliza, Sit for a while, you know it's your smile that I love, and if you ever get lonely, just come on for tea you know you can sip it with me... Closer my darling Eliza, no need to say that you care, I can tell by your come-hither stare, and if you ever get comely, no need to be coy, You know I know you know I'm your boy... Come here my darling Eliza, I sing you this song, we'll walk together in to the dawn, and if you ever get homely, just come on for tea, you know you can sip it with me... Silver and gold put a price on your soul, and the lust for it surely enchanting, but wipe all your plans and remember your man, they say to blacken your heart is forever... Come here my darling Eliza, Sit here my darling Eliza, I used to be out on my own, out alone, without a home, I used to be out on my own out all alone but now I have you

Darlin', if this reaches you please know that I am well they promised us a gun and a little piece of heaven but we're still stuck here in hell. I don't know when I'll make it home and I pray it won't be long the odds are good I'll be intact but I'd rather be dead than wrong. Don't waste your tears a'wishin', babe - just hold this truth to heart: our time together'll be that much sweeter every moment that we're apart! My angel, beauty, blushing belle this war strikes a chord in me it's fuelin' the fire that you designed and I'm bringing it back - you'll see. We'll carry this torch across the city, our passion's burning sound and if this town can't hold us together then we'll burn it right to the ground! Don't waste your tears a'wishin', babe - just hold this truth to heart: our time together'll be that much sweeter every moment that we're apart! We'll whisper out our killing song to the streetlights up above we'll cut apart our closest friends 'till the streets run red with love! I know the winds are blowin' hard and the seas I sail are rough (and why is it that the tough only get going when the going is so damned tough?) Well, whenever I should make it back know that I'll still be your toy - you'll still be my A-bomb baby, and I'll still be your Blitzkrieg boy!

Oleander 04:11
There’s a fire rising to the south and there’s rumors flying by word of mouth that the have-nots are just gonna have to do without so you’d better call mama and papa, tell ‘em everything ain’t gonna be ok I can see terror running right out from your cheeks you purchased an hour and got seven weeks and you wonder how long can you stall my release but, my darling these things, well, they take time, you’ll see. The afternoon sun plays a wonderful trick when it snuffs out the candle and pinches the wick and the words in the smoke reading clearly and thick, say: you belong to me You pre-matriculate sipper of cigarettes you always consummate, well-meaning suffragette how can you know so much and always still forget you belong to me There’s a spring in your step and a bob in your hair a whispering voice that compels you to care while the brimstone rock n’ roll burns through the air, singing: you belong to me You pre-matriculate sipper of cigarettes you always consummate, well-meaning suffragette how can you know so much and always still forget you belong to me The clock hands on the wall are applauding us all but they’re pointed at you always at you You are the star in this symphony hall and it echoes with you always with you Oh, and they’ll say our darling bloom our Oleander Oleander You’ve run the numbers and written the books you’ll hope that the rope holds as long as your looks while you paint up your cheeks and you sharpen your hooks, knowing you belong to me You pre-matriculate sipper of cigarettes you always consummate, well-meaning suffragette how can you know so much and always still forget you belong to me
