Black out the windows
I'ts pary time
You know how I love stormy weather
So, let's all play suicide
The crowd wants you bleeding
The eyes from your head
Get off your knees
You'll be fine-
How wide?
How deep the river?
Black-as dark as night
How long?
How far?
I'll know when I get to the other side
Whatever it is you've stolen
I'll recognize
I'll sympathize
I reckon that I've seen it all-
and start falling-
I breathe in
Unchain myself-
Tonite's the night
No wind, rain, conversation-
Brings me back alive tonite
How wide?
How deep the river black as night?
Black out the windows
It's party time
I see a light
That I recognize...

Esta Noche
Come little lately
Get your shine on
Meet me at the gate
There's nowhere to go
I can't be late
I feel cool-
Alive-
Aware-that I'm sinking
The firmament is swallowing me whole
and I'm on a roll again-
Come, little lately
Get your shine on
Kiss my pretty face
and let me bleed awile
the people want a taste
So taste me-
I feel cool-
I get around-
My blood-they wanna steal it
A lonely boy will stand
When others crawl
and I can feel them coming at me
Esta-noche
All the lights will breathe the same air
As I behold the view
Come, little lately
Get your shine on
Step out of the shade
and let me breathe awhile
For god has come to play
So play me-
The air-
The night-
My blood-you're gonna feel it
The everlasting love has turned to snow
and I wanna fell it all over
Never-no one
I wait-ever
I feel-this light
But I conceal
No one complete
This mess, replete
Perfumed in mud
Christened by a wave-
This is neverlasting love
Get your shine on
Meet me at the gate
There's nowhere to go
I can't be late
I feel cool-
Alive-
Aware-that I'm sinking
The firmament is swallowing me whole
and I'm on a roll again-
Come, little lately
Get your shine on
Kiss my pretty face
and let me bleed awile
the people want a taste
So taste me-
I feel cool-
I get around-
My blood-they wanna steal it
A lonely boy will stand
When others crawl
and I can feel them coming at me
Esta-noche
All the lights will breathe the same air
As I behold the view
Come, little lately
Get your shine on
Step out of the shade
and let me breathe awhile
For god has come to play
So play me-
The air-
The night-
My blood-you're gonna feel it
The everlasting love has turned to snow
and I wanna fell it all over
Never-no one
I wait-ever
I feel-this light
But I conceal
No one complete
This mess, replete
Perfumed in mud
Christened by a wave-
This is neverlasting love

You say you wanna go there,
Ride then-
I did- and I loved it-
Say you don't wanna be here,
Leave then-
Time comes , to get gone
Say good morning to another set
Of creature
My dear, I'm gone-she said-
You wanna go for a ride?
I got sixteen hours to burn
And i'm gonna stay up all night-
Tell your mama fever come
Back again
Look what you started-
And break it eazy to your boyfriend
She said-
You wanna go for a ride?
I got thirteen hours to burn
And i'm gonna stay up all night
She said-she said
You wanna go for a ride?
I got no more money to burn
And i'm gonna stay up all night
Ride then-
I did- and I loved it-
Say you don't wanna be here,
Leave then-

Say good morning to another set

The Killer
I think we're lost, don't worry
I've been here before
I'm sure I thought I knew the way
Out of here yesterday
Dove cuesto, mi dolce?
Your driver called, it's time to go-
Your driver's waiting for you-
And I caught a fever
A holy fire-
Til I was crawling on the ceiling
Come out of your hole
I know you know-
You know I know-
I wanna go-
Such a pretty thing, i've never seen
Someone so perfectly deceive-
I loved her smile-
And her beguiling way with me
She smelled exciting, I wanted some-
Your drivers' gone-
Like everybody-
And that's why I need ya-
To catch on fire-
I want you to burn me til I feel it-
I know you know which way to go-
I wantcha to show me
So I can steal it-
Where should we go?
Where should we go?
I knwo you know that I'm
Gonna need it
I know you know which way to go-
I know you know-
I wanna go
I've been here before
I'm sure I thought I knew the way
Out of here yesterday
Dove cuesto, mi dolce?
Your driver called, it's time to go-
Your driver's waiting for you-
And I caught a fever
A holy fire-
Til I was crawling on the ceiling
Come out of your hole

Decatur St.
Down around the corner-
Lives a naughty little girl
Who clicks her tounge, I love the way
She talk-
She pay no attention, knows I'm one of
Them sad boys
Who's hypnotized by girls who walk
The walk-
I'm no good and I like it
And the end iz comin soon
Above, the lion
Iz hungry for the dark side of the-
Decatur, the complicator-
I want a little more-
The savior of misbehavior
It's alright, circle tight, say goodnight
Hit the town-
Up high the sky iz dark and wide,
Tonight-
It looks like its gonna fall-
Are you all alone or shall I
Squire you home?
Or would you rather see me crawl?
I know what I had and I know
What i got-
Maybe my soul iz like a vacant lot-
Shot.
Baby- it's complicated,
Though I'll never know-
A favor- to run away
You wanna party? you wanna party?
You wanna?
Do ya? do ya?
Do ya wanna roll with me?
Do ya? do ya?
Do ya wanna roll with me?
Cuz i'm juvenile-
Impractical
And i'll make you cry-
Hysterical-
You wanna ride?
Ain't nuthin free-
See somethin you like you gotta pay
Me-
Pay me or play me
Lives a naughty little girl
Who clicks her tounge, I love the way
She talk-
She pay no attention, knows I'm one of

Bye, bye butterfly

You mind your mama-

Infect me, protect me-
She gonna resurrect me, I know
Cuz baby, I'm livin from dime to dime
If down iz up-
I think i'll be doin alright, tonight
And I roll and it feels good- around

Infect me, protect me-
She gonna resurrect me, I know
Bye, bye, butterfly

Cuz when the moon done

On your knees, you gonna see the sun
Cut down
Neglect me, select me
She gonna disconnect me, I know
And I roll....

You mind your mama-
Else she gonna swallow you whole
Infect me, protect me-

Follow You Down
Follow you down
Get the wheel, let's go for a ride-
if you're trouble then I'll follow
you down
last night- I saw the strangest light
I wanna see it again-
I'm wide awake-
somebody put a gun in my face-
go ahead I said- erase.
Get the wheel, let's go for a ride
if you're trouble, then I'll follow you
down
last night, last night was alright-
I wanna see you again.
Get the wheel, let's go for a ride-
if you're trouble then I'll follow
you down
last night- I saw the strangest light
I wanna see it again-
I'm wide awake-
somebody put a gun in my face-
go ahead I said- erase.
Get the wheel, let's go for a ride
if you're trouble, then I'll follow you
down
last night, last night was alright-
I wanna see you again.

Feathers
Wherever you're going
I know you knew
That nobody cuts me
Quite like you do
And i'm gonna crawl
Not that it matters
Nobody bleeds the way I do
Wherever you've gone
I can follow
The path of destruction
You leave like crumbs
And i'm gonna crawl
I'm gonna scratch and claw
Though i am broken, i still bleed
Whoever said?
No wind, no rain, no conversation
Will bring me back alive
I got it bad and i won't sleep
Until i breathe the sweet perfume
You love
You're gonna crawl, my precious
I'm untethered
Waving in the wind like feathers
Feel you near me, disappearing
If you take, you better kill me
Break me, steal me
If you don't kill me
I'm gonna crawl, til you crawl
Crawl like them all, my precious
I'm untethered
Waving in the wind like feathers-
Crawl, my love
I know you knew
That nobody cuts me
Quite like you do
And i'm gonna crawl
Not that it matters
Nobody bleeds the way I do
Wherever you've gone
I can follow
The path of destruction
You leave like crumbs
And i'm gonna crawl
I'm gonna scratch and claw
Though i am broken, i still bleed
Whoever said?
No wind, no rain, no conversation
Will bring me back alive
I got it bad and i won't sleep
Until i breathe the sweet perfume
You love
You're gonna crawl, my precious
I'm untethered
Waving in the wind like feathers
Feel you near me, disappearing
If you take, you better kill me
Break me, steal me
If you don't kill me
I'm gonna crawl, til you crawl
Crawl like them all, my precious
I'm untethered
Waving in the wind like feathers-
Crawl, my love

Fat City (Slight Return)
I musta been near, unclear
Its dark as hell and hot in here
But I'm ready for the strobe
So release me so I can find
The couple comes over, I fear
That they'll lead me to the garden
Where anything I want is close
Everything I wanted most
Nathan runs a little river
Cathy gets high
Joey got arrested when he messed up
Round about sixteen times
Why you take from a giver?
Why you gotta get high?
Why you watch a car wreck
Mothaf*cker?
Cause it looks fun to die
The ship it listed and things got twisted
Bow down and get yourself lifted
Party at the mansion, y'all
Party on the day before the fall
You all- Better Listen
Don't question my volition
The hard way, the easy way
The only way
The lonely way
Save yourself, you little sinner
Path it up right
Take the road less traveled
Make sure you keep that shit all tight
Its dark as hell and hot in here
But I'm ready for the strobe
So release me so I can find
The couple comes over, I fear
That they'll lead me to the garden
Where anything I want is close
Everything I wanted most
Nathan runs a little river
Cathy gets high
Joey got arrested when he messed up
Round about sixteen times
Why you take from a giver?
Why you gotta get high?
Why you watch a car wreck
Mothaf*cker?
Cause it looks fun to die
The ship it listed and things got twisted
Bow down and get yourself lifted
Party at the mansion, y'all
Party on the day before the fall
You all- Better Listen
Don't question my volition
The hard way, the easy way
The only way
The lonely way
Save yourself, you little sinner
Path it up right
Take the road less traveled
Make sure you keep that shit all tight

Number Nine
Devil-
Sweet talking fly on the wall
Blackberry belle of the ball
Just like you told me-
I'm gonna crawl
You trouble me
And I ain't myself anymore
I'm crawlin around like a whore
And you love me there on the floor
Come on, boy, don't be such a baby
And maybe I'll bail you out
One more time
You got number nine starin atcha
Get back, boy or I'll make you blind
You f*cker
This here's where we settle up-
One last sweet drink from you cup-
Hand it over, slowly-
I'm gone
Come on boy, don't be such a baby
And maybe I'll sell you out
One more time
You at the foot of the master
I'm faster but I'm gonna take
My time-
And I'm gonna make you blind-
Sweet talking fly on the wall
Blackberry belle of the ball
Just like you told me-
I'm gonna crawl
You trouble me
And I ain't myself anymore
I'm crawlin around like a whore
And you love me there on the floor
Come on, boy, don't be such a baby
And maybe I'll bail you out
One more time
You got number nine starin atcha
Get back, boy or I'll make you blind
You f*cker
This here's where we settle up-
One last sweet drink from you cup-
Hand it over, slowly-
I'm gone
Come on boy, don't be such a baby
And maybe I'll sell you out
One more time
You at the foot of the master
I'm faster but I'm gonna take
My time-
And I'm gonna make you blind-

Blackberry Belle is the second full-length album released by The Twilight Singers. It was released by One Little Indian Records on October 14, 2003 and features guest appearances by Mathias Schneeberger, Alvin Youngblood Hart, Stanton Moore, Petra Haden, Kamasi Washington and Mark Lanegan. The album is a tribute to director Ted Demme, a close friend of Greg Dulli's who died of a heart attack while playing a game of basketball in January 2002. Dulli had been working on another project entitled Amber Headlights (which would later see the light of day in 2005), but abandoned those sessions due to Demme's death. The recordings which followed, fueled in part by the memory of Demme, resulted in Blackberry Belle.
The album was released on vinyl over two years after the initial CD release. Pressed on white vinyl, the LP contained an extra track "Run, Rabbit Run". This is a demo version featuring Greg Dulli on piano. He was known to perform a version of this song on the last The Afghan Whigs tour.
The Twilight Singers performed the album in its entirety for the first and only time in San Francisco at the Great American Music Hall on September 17, 2011 with special guests Mark Lanegan, Petra Haden and Dave Catching joining the group on stage.
