Mad With the Moon

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

Switchblade Baby

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)

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

Baby Is a Vamp

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 You
01:12
|

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

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

Hotel Bar

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

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

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.
