Take me in this night
I’m the loneliest one
Maybe you’re too kind,
but I’m having some fun
Maybe I’m not certain,
I’m a simple person
When it comes to down to it.
"Catch me when I fall”,
I recalled in the woods.
Told you not to crawl,
Now you’re miles ahead
Maybe I’m not perfect,
I’m a simple person
When it comes to down to it.

Children

You may look back
You may attack
The holy rosary intact
And I will know
Before you know
Look on the afterlife I’m shown
We are only children here yearning to feel love
The past will hold you ’til its gone
Have you been caught?
The afterthought;
I tried to call and you picked up
You’re on the prowl
I shut my mouth
He never loved you anyhow
We are only children here yearning to feel love
The past will hold you ’til its gone

In the bloodlust of the evening!
Can’t help but believe him
That flame in the furnace
That’s burning in earnest
If love was all,
I’d need it now
If i could get it back somehow
How can you not get over it?
I’d write it off but I’d forget it
How can you not get over it?
How can you not get over it?
Did you see me at the tavern?
In the year of the Saturn?
Crying on your shoulder
In the heat of the pallid summer
If love was all,
I’d need it now
If i could get it back somehow
How can you not get over it?
I’d try it all but I’d regret it!
How can you not get over it?
How can you not get over it?
Can’t take anymore!
Just open the door!
In my darkest hour
Love me again!
Don’t leave me again!
To go fend for myself.
How can you not get over it?
I’d try it all but I’d forget it.
How can you not get over it?
How can you not get over it?

Quarantine
02:53
|

It’s in the way that i lean upon all of my friends
It’s in the way that you leave and say nothing again
Taking all my time
Working overnight
Leave me in the darkness, i’ll be fine
Quarantine me, cause i’m like a disease
What you want me to be is a god in a dream
Leave me at the station, i’ll come home
Oh, Quarantine my life.
You came to me, was it real?
as you always conceal.
Begging for your forgiveness
You dig in your heels.
I desert my pride to avoid a crime
You can overwhelm me, if you try
Quarantine me, cause i’m like a disease
What you want me to be is a god in a dream
Leave me at the station, i’ll come home
Oh, Quarantine my dreams away.
Quarantine me, cause i’m like a disease
What you want me to be is a god in a dream
Leave me at the station, i’ll come home
Oh, Quarantine my life away.
Oh, Quarantine my life away.

Alarm, Alarm!
My fears go arm in arm.
To the army at war with love
And one day the hero,
and one day the foe.
Forgiveness tied in yellow round the old oak tree.
Turning and take disbelief.
Turning into stone.
While the century retreats,
to the memory repeated in a futuristic world.
I get a little bit closer to heaven Shimmering mirage.
Like hunger.
Like a lesson
Like this must be obsession.
There was a flicker in the overhanging night And all the life I’d hidden
Seven maids a milking in a dream of white Trees on the back of the fires’ poison light
I get a little bit closer to heaven Shimmering mirage.
Like hunger.
Like a lesson
Like this must be obsession.
Upon my face a smile
Just a trace, all the while
Thoughts of wasteful waters flow
Alarm! Alarm! My fears go on and on and on and on.

Nothing to Lose
03:12
|
|||
|
Don’t you ever wanna scream it
Wide awake from wild dreaming
I know it’s like a mourning that you can’t erase
Your body let go
Got a future to believe in
“Does the power have a ceiling?”
And so we told the martyrs of our love
To wait, our bodies let go
I’ve got nothing to lose
but you can’t see it
and you can’t see it
Pick apart a tattered feeling
Complicated for a reason
I know it’s like a weakness
it’s like a bad escape
the rhythm won’t shake.
Don’t you ever wanna scream it
Wide awake rom wild dreaming
I know it’s like a mourning that you can’t erase
Your body let go
Oh too late, your body lets go.
I’ve got nothing to lose
but you can’t see it
and you can’t see it

Kind of Person
03:37
|

|
I was just a little child,
Born in Philadelphia
I was almost there inside a car.
Father, you were far away
Mother, working everyday
Parents of my past
That I don’t want to hear about again.
I’m not the kind of person you can figure out
But we can try to understand in time.
I’m not the kind of person you can figure out
But we can try to understand in time.
Running to the Riverside
Hiding under Kelly Drive.
From the other kids who used to kick.
Maybe I was born to run
Maybe I just have no fun
Fall asleep before the party starts
I wake up all alone
You’re not the kind of person I can figure out
But I can try to understand your mind.
You’re not the kind of person I can figure out
But I can try to understand your mind.

Haunted
03:33

Everyone around me is trying.
Everyone around me, shaking hands.
Had enough of living and lying.
Open up your mind
Maybe if you’ll ever have a moment
It’s the accidental heart
You’ve been wanting for so long
I’m not haunted
I will guide you
The truth;
Someone’s falling in love with you.
I gave up the rhythm for the country
Why did I think loving you was above me?
I looked in the mirror, I felt lucky.
Life is just a pardon
the prisoner in everyone around you
Officer, I’m caught
I’m tangled up in thought.
I’m not haunted
I will guide you
The truth;
Someone’s falling in love with you.

Someday
06:59

|
The day is here and now
You’re with me
I know the path is gone, will you see?
Tears streaming in the sun
And you are the one
When you hold my hand
Am I missing?
In love with everyone
As we move
To sounds of atriums in our heads
Say that we made it through
It’s because of you
And the maiden won’t have a winter
Even though we’ll be gone someday
I know i’ll be the air with you
Even though we’ll be gone someday
I know I will take good care of you
It’s not too much to ask
for your love
We will return again
Wind and dove
I stole a mirror from gods who made it clear
that decisions come from the heavens
The rest is destiny
We grow old
The tables turn on us
and bestow
Right when the going’s good
It’s a lot to hold
But the feeling is mutual, hold it!
Even though we’ll be gone someday
I know i’ll be the air with you
Even though we’ll be gone someday
I know I will take good care of you

Natalie, my love
Be with you always
Natalie, I know
That you are far away
to find the meaning of tomorrow
Know in time, we’ll be better together
Sing me a song from the moon above
Our kind is not one I could dream of
Do you remember we fell in love?
I can’t forget.
Natalie, my love
I owe you everything
The world is not all you have given me
I’ve watched you grow with every passing day
I know you’ll help me in the same way
Sing me a song that I used to know
Pull me away from the undertow
We’ve been awake since so long ago
Please come home now
Natalie, my love
I hold you dearly
Natalie, my love
You are the one I see
We find our way back to the center
I would like to go to the beginning.

Eric Slick Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
While with previous solo records Palisades and Bullfighter Slick mined his subconscious for the moodier and more abstract side of the coin, Wiseacre is a technicolored exaltation. It reads like a novel, sequencing in chronological order the ups and downs of self-acceptance before fully committing to someone else. ... more
