I saw a black sun rising It was behind your eyes and I know that you were lying, But you had no right babe I bet you think you’re real bad With your sad boy blues and You told me I was trouble I guess I finally believe you It’s hard to love a girl Who’s mad with the moon But if i’m leaving this place I’m leaving you too It’s hard to love a girl Who’s mad with the moon But if i’m leaving this place I’m leaving you too There was a dark star rising It was behind my eyes and, It wakes me in the night when Im just trying to get by Its that time of the night when, When he hides the good knives and, I only wanted to know, Wanted to know what you felt like It’s hard to love a girl Who’s mad with the moon But if i’m leaving this place I’m leaving you too It’s hard to love a girl Who’s mad with the moon But if i’m leaving this place I’m leaving you too You can’t love a girl Who would burn the world Just to get, Just to get her way Just to get her way It’s hard to love a girl Who’s mad with the moon But if i’m leaving this place I’m leaving you too

With hair like rust, And hair like ravens, With her eyes like violets And her grace like violence Are you here to save me? My Switchblade Baby Are you here to save me? My Switchblade Baby I'm fading into credits, They’re rolling like the waves On the beaches we woke up on When home was still a place Are you here to save me? My Switchblade Baby Are you here to save me? My Switchblade Baby (ohh-ahh) Do you consider it cheating? Because his voice leaves me weeping Well then, I guess I'll be leaving Since you don’t really need me Are you here to save me? My Switchblade Baby Are you here to save me? My Switchblade Baby (ohh-ahh)

Teeth 05:34
I called you to this place So you could watch me fade I finally got so crazy Nobody else could save me You wanna see which one of us Is the maddest dog In a fight Ill take you out Ill take you out Into the woods, woods tonight You wanna see which one of us Is the maddest dog In a fight Ill take you out Ill take you out Into the woods, woods tonight Ive got my teeth and you’ve got the knife I wanted a good man As selfless as I’m selfish And I could fake a heartbeat If he could grant a death wish You wanna see which one of us Is the maddest dog In a fight I'll take you out I'll take you out Into the woods, woods tonight You wanna see which one of us Is the maddest dog In a fight I'll take you out I'll take you out Into the woods, woods tonight Watching you breathe Here in the dark I can't fall asleep I just fall apart

I’m looking at a view That I looked at with you It doesn’t mean anything Doesn’t mean anything And it doesn’t mean anything And I don’t mean anything My gun metal horses Our drugs and our losses And I’m alone with my mornings In blue And I’m alone with my mornings I’m so alone when I’m with you Tell me I’m your girl Every single day You know I’ll stay You know I’ll stay It only hurts for a minute Only when you’re right in it My gun metal horses Our drugs and our losses And I’m alone with my mornings In blue And I’m alone with my mornings I’m so alone when I’m with you A thousand cities between us A hundred skies and stardust And we don’t change No we don’t change And I’m so faded I can’t see But that’s how they like me baby My gun metal horses Our drugs and our losses And I’m alone with my mornings In blue And I’m alone with my mornings I’m so alone when I’m with you

I like my girls like Grave robbers Coming on like, gang busters Love ‘em all but you can't trust us I like the top-shelf malt liquor Or you know whatever Kills quicker Snake venom, sweet lithium Split lip always on the run How u gonna keep a girl like that? Slick claws sharp, Like a black cat All grown up on the attack Hate to break it to ya But ur baby is a vamp Baby is a vamp Baby is a vamp Baby is a vamp Baby is a vamp Who needs a guy with pipe dreams Lies and amphetamines Never really meant a thing to me She's kinda like Jessica rabbit Broken heart Bad habit Looking good in his leather jacket Don't mess around or she'll let u have it How u gonna keep a girl like that? Slick claws sharp, Like a black cat All grown up on the attack Hate to break it to ya But ur baby is a vamp Baby is a vamp Baby is a vamp Baby is a vamp Baby is a vamp (Bridge) How u gonna keep a girl like that? Slick claws sharp, Like a black cat All grown up on the attack Hate to break it to ya But ur baby is a vamp Baby is a vamp Baby is a vamp Baby is a vamp Baby is a vamp

Here's to the days, I had thunder behind my eyes And to the thunder, that brought summer sin into my sighs And to the sighs, which breathed cigarette burns on my thighs, And here’s to the six cigarette burns that woke me, to keep me From setting the whole damn house on fire Here’s to that fire, my chaos, your midnight drives Here's to the gun in my garter The blood from your split lip And how it stained When I kissed behind your knee Here’s to July, And tying your hair to mine So you can never leave.

Can I buy you another drink he says Sure one more and i'll burn this bar down Get real messed up and skip town God knows, I get around I get around Knee deep in that prescription pad chicken scratch Little girl you’ve met your match Thank goodness for my garter flask If you know me you don’t have to ask Just don’t ask Now I'm singing at dive bars For dimes and I never sleep at night but, Honey I'm having the best time Crossing that city line You know I met the loneliest girl In the whole USA and she said She'd give those guys hell to pay She’s gonna help me get my way Help me get away People say I'm back to my old tricks Rye, ripped stockings, peaches and red lips Gonna buy my own knives Gonna burn my own bridge Now I'm singing at dive bars For dimes and I never sleep at night but, Honey I'm having the best time Crossing that city line I'm done wasting my time Falling for all the wrong guys Now we're taking those long drives We're getting out alive Now I'm singing at dive bars For dimes and I never sleep at night but, Honey I'm having the best time Crossing that city line

Ritual 03:37
I pray to follow This golden thread It ends at a stitch On the base of your wrist Despite how high I got I never got closer to god I know my man He means well The things I've done He’d never tell Despite how high I got I never got closer- (oh-ah) Now we're getting weak Going days without sleep And we’re driving ourselves Straight through hell Despite how high I got, I never got closer to god

Baby's been hitting the bars again But it don’t mean a damn thing To her old man he says it's just her youth Let her sing And while I’m dying to be yours again You’re busy trying, My best friend Watching a California sunset Fall at the foot of my bed And I'm breaking the habit I swear it hasn’t got me yet And while I'm dying to be yours again You’re busy trying, My best friend Years and years Of wasted tears 1000 years, or drowning Trust no one
10.
Hotel Bar 05:06
He called me down To the hotel bar Said pack up that dress and get in the car I sighed and said well that settles it While he lights up another cigarette I'm the last one at the party again Been mixing my drinks Telling them we’re just friends You know I won't call again You know I won't call again Ohhh-oh Ohhhh-oh I try to find, my way home Taking wrong turns on my own I finally learned to drink alone Darling you know your drunken slur Is the sweetest sound in the whole wide world And god what I'd give to be your girl Yeah what I'd give to be your girl Now I got a good man But I don't know how to take care of him The roses in my hair don’t mean a thing And honey I'm sorry I drive you to drink I try to find, my way home Taking wrong turns on my own I finally learned to drink alone You could’ve been anyone It wasn’t love you could’ve been anyone You could’ve been anyone

Waiting Room 05:32
I'm calling closing time on Babylon Someone come and turn the house lights on A wolf moon in the waiting room You curse my name but I don’t hear you The new year started with a windstorm A phone call a lie Cold in my lungs but I fell asleep on a sinking ship We both knew It would Come to this And I know someday You’ll tell someone That girl she was nothing but trouble And I know someday You’ll tell someone That girl she was nothing but trouble Now I’ve got scars yeah I've got teeth, Learned to run from the law in high heels You with your sin that tastes like the sea I know you're lonely, just like me I was your girl and now I'm no one Is it strange to hear your name in a song? I wouldn’t know I've done too many men wrong Get over here and hand me my gun And I know someday You’ll tell someone That girl she was nothing but trouble And I know someday You’ll tell someone That girl she was nothing but trouble

about

Lux Lyall London, UK

In Lux Lyall’s dark and decadent world, little is as it appears. Theatrical songs steeped in sumptuous strings owe a debt to old-school Hollywood, but have their roots in Camden’s gritty rock haunts. Lyrics littered with nods to film noir spring from modern-day issues including mental health. Even the femme fatales come with a twist – they always win the day.
