Every Time the Sun Shines

from Passing It Off as Art by Pete Davis

/

about

The first of two creepy, stalkerish songs on this album. This one's less obvious. This is still one of my favorite guitar lines.

lyrics

One last kiss upon my poison lips.
With your last breath, you said,
"I never wanna see your face again."
My winning smile,
In this mug-shot line-up,
Is just not enough,
And you know, of course,

I'm the one she chose.

Wait 'til you see what I've done,
And wait 'til I see you again.
Wait 'til you're finally mine.
I do it all for you.

I'll draw your face inside the clouds and paint,
The sky a blood red,
So that everytime the sun shines you'll be there,
Smiling down on me.

'Cause I'm the one you chose.

And I'll sacrifice myself to save you and,
I'll see myself the hero and I'll,
Never lose my head, and I will never know,
It's not real.

I fall asleep without you but I see you every night
Waiting for me.
You're like a dream in which I'm dropping
But I don't wake up when I hit the ground.
And I always hit the ground.
