Digital Riptide: Cerulean Fog
SIDE A
1. Cerulean Fog
In the dark before dawn
I sing my nightingale song
as I search for your touch
and in the amethyst wind
I feel it starting again
like a hunger inside
Floating on a pink cloud
like a tv on with no sound
channel fuzz surrounding us
the windows fill with blue light
we slip into an endless night
and tumble into paradise
and no one would believe it
we're in another world right now
they'll say that we're deceivers
we're lost in a dream right now
Beneath vermillion skies
I see that look in your eyes
an ocean of desire
and as the tide rolls in
we find our island of sin
in the cerulean fog
we can make it last forever
in the cerulean fog
making love forever
in the cerulean fog
SIDE B
2. Heaven (or Something Like It)
Never gonna let them come between us
never running like the rest
never gonna let this neon town beat us down
Heaven is a place I go
when I'm with you baby
each morning is a maudlin show
when I'm on my own
heaven is a place I know
Never gonna let them tell us different
cause we're the Generation X
never gonna waste our time belonging
ennui is the enemy of sex
Who knows if we're coming or going
trapped inside this garden of stone
who knows if we're living or dying, but
Heaven is a place
Heaven is a place I go
when I'm with you baby
each morning is a maudlin show
when I'm on my own
heaven is a place I know
