The Threshold of Desire - David Buckley

It's not anything that you wanna see Or anything you wanna feel But baby, I can tell you like I tell myself This insanity's entirely real I'm seeing sticks in the mud and veins with no blood And the trouble not far behind I'm hearing voices in my head, can't tell you what they're saying I'm afraid of all the shit I might find I'm on the threshold And it's knocking me upside down I'm on the threshold A threshold of a breakdown Feel the devil's jaws, got me in his claws Standing at the gates of Hell Let me tell ya, Jack, I'm about to dip and fall back I ain't feeling so well I'm on the threshold And it's knocking me upside down I'm on the threshold A threshold of a breakdown I'm on the threshold And it's knocking me upside down I'm on the threshold I'm on the threshold of a breakdown Tippin' on the hollow ground Bitter aggravation, vicious violation Wait till it happens to you Threshold of a breakdown A threshold of a breakdown Threshold of a breakdown Threshold of a breakdown

When she asks me to dance I say no no I have two left feet The she took my hand and wispered a song so sweet She says hold me as close as you can 'till my body's on fire Its just a vertical expression, a horisontal desire So we moved like water being poured over polished steel And I realy can't translate the way she makes me feel And the music played abnd mercury just wnet hire It's a vertical expression a horisontal desire Chorus We did the samba, the mambo the tango the two step while we romansed And when the music got faster we just heldto each other and slow dance Bridge I took nothing for granted but I wished I could stay all night And as we walked into her place she reached out to dim the lights She said dance with me darling till the monn and the stars retire It's just a vertical expression a horisontal desire (X2)

Back to a time where our feet ran like the talk does today Get back to a time where eyes were wide for all that was praised Bent and frayed from older days But here today because fo those ways When you stare at the sun and pick those daisies as you run Took the time to tell stories of the creatures yet to come And our cups overflowed in that home grown July Hearts full, brought tears to my eyes Breaking boundaries that should never have been Trying to write when you have never stood up to see what's within, see time brings clarity Whats beyond the composed? Transparent causality of childhood as we grow When you stare at the sun and pick those daisies as you run Took the time to tell stories of the creatures yet to come And our cups overflowed in that home grown July Hearts full, brought tears to my eyes To friends that are family and family that are friends, may your night turn into morning and the barefoot never end Cause tomorrow won't fit yesterdays shoes, so we'll choose to win or loose When you stare at the sun and pick those daisies as you run Took the time to tell stories of the creatures yet to come And our cups overflowed in that home grown July Hearts were full, and that brought tears to my eyes

If you dance, I'll dance And if you don't, I'll dance anyway Give peace a chance Let the fear you have fall away (I've got my eyes on you) I've got my eyes on you Say yes to heaven Say yes to me Say yes to heaven Say yes to me If you go, I'll stay (I'll stay) When you come back, I'll be right here Like a barge at sea In the storm, I just stay clear (I've got my mind on you) I've got my mind on you Say yes to heaven Say yes to me Say yes to heaven Say yes to me If you dance, I'll dance I'll put my black dress on again If you fight, I'll fight It doesn't matter, now it's all gone (And I've got my mind on you) And I've got my mind on you Say yes to heaven Say yes to me Say yes to heaven Say yes to me (I've got my eyes on you) I've got my eyes on you (I've got my eyes on you) (I've got my mind on you) (I've got my mind on you) (I've got my mind) I've got my eyes on you

In the town where I was born Right across from that old church Used to keep my eye on Mary While she'd shine behind the birds Now the moon is in that window And the glow has hit you right Like a cigarette crushed in my pocket Waiting for a chance to light 'Cause when the lights come on And the sun goes down I'm gonna lay you down In the backseat of whatever I'm driving Driving around Up ahead is the old skate park Where I used to run around Couldn't ride for shit to save my life I'd pretend if you were around But now the dogs are getting called to And the kids are running up the drive Honey, we got nowhere we need to be At least not for tonight 'Cause when the lights come on And the sun goes down I'm gonna lay you down In the backseat of whatever I'm driving Driving around And you can call me old-fashioned But how did I never think of this until now? This house is all we've seen for days and days Why don't we go and drive around? 'Cause when the lights come on And the sun goes down I'm gonna lay you down In the backseat of whatever I'm driving Driving around
