During an interview of Vic's, he explained what all the songs on "Selfish Machines" meant. He said, "I wrote a great deal of these lyrics after a young fan had explained to me that...
Bury me in the bedroom where I, I can sing you to sleep all night.
Put me next to the open window, promise me a second time.
'Cause I don't wanna leave without you buried by my side.
I'd rather kill the one responsible for falling stars at night.
Cause they fall all around me.
The night can be deadly.
And they'll never take us alive.
(Can you chase away the darkness?)
To live on love and die.
Last night she recited every reason she's fine.
So if we're heading there together at the same time.
You sing while I drive.
Move like a fugitive tonight.
Dance on the ambulance.
'Cause I'd rather spend my life, vacations,
In bed with you like drunken summer kites.
And this is only a test.
Sober and scaring me to death.
They'll never take us alive.
(Can you chase away the darkness)
To live in love and die.
And I don't care if you're sick.
I don't care if you're contagious.
I would kiss you even if you were dead.
Would somebody make me go blind for the rest of my life.
Cause I'd do anything to hold your hand.
And I don't care if you're sick.
I don't care if you're contagious.
Would somebody make me go blind for the rest of my life.
'Cause I'd do anything, anything, anything.
They'll never take us alive.
'Cause I'll chase away the darkness.
I'll live, and love, and die.
I join the party for the recently blind.
So if we're heading there together you can sing all night
I'm gonna tear out the thread one by one from your skin.
Till your bones feel embarrassed from all the attention.
Kiss me while I drive.
Put me next to the open window, promise me a second time.
'Cause I don't wanna leave without you buried by my side.
I'd rather kill the one responsible for falling stars at night.
Cause they fall all around me.
The night can be deadly.
And they'll never take us alive.

Interview with Vic. What JustinScottLaffey posted is DIRECT from there. That is absolutely amazing that Vic would do something like that. One of the many reasons I will always support this band in everything they do.
This song brings tears to my eyes.
Bury me in the bedroom where I can sing you to sleep all night.
Put me next to the open window, promise me a second time,
because I don't want to leave without you buried by my side.
I'd rather kill the one responsible for falling stars at night.
because they fall all around me.
The night can be deadly.
And they'll never take us alive.
Can you chase away the darkness,
to live in love and die.
Last night she recited every reason she's fine.
So, if we're heading there together at the same time.
You sing while I drive.
Move like a fugitive tonight,
Dance on the ambulance.
because I would rather spend my life,
Vacation In bed with you like drunken summer kites,
And this is only a test.
Sober and scaring me to death
They'll never take us alive.
Can you chase away the darkness
To live in love, and die.
And I don't care if you're sick.
I don't care if you're contagious.
I would kiss you even if you were dead.
Would somebody make me go blind for the rest of my life.
because I'd do anything to hold your hand.
And I don't care if you're sick.
I don't care if you're contagious.
Would somebody make me go blind for the rest of my life.
because I'd do anything, anything, anything.
They'll never take us alive.
because I'll chase away the darkness.
I'll live, in love, and die.
I join the party for the recently blind,
So if we heading there together you can sing all night
I'm gonna tear out the thread,
one by one from your skin.
Till you're bones feel embarrassed from all the attention.
Kiss me while I drive.
Till you're far too embarrassed from all the attention." it's "I'm gonna tear out the thread one by one from your skin, 'till your bones feel embarrassed from all the attention."
