Heaven 02:20
I cannot believe my luck I found a new friend I found a new friend I want to die So we can go to Heaven There's nothing bad in Heaven There's nothing bad in Heaven I was so alone For so many years For so many years I want to die So we can go to Heaven There's nothing bad in Heaven There's nothing bad in Heaven I want I want I want I want to die So we can go to Heaven There's nothing bad in Heaven There's nothing bad in Heaven

Eventually the clouds break up and wander home The sun pours through as we drive away and a wild wind blows a wild wind blows a wild wind blows a wild wind blows And now you're all I ever wanted Because you're all I ever needed and now you're all I ever needed because you're all I ever wanted Even now I'm wondering How this will end if you'll see it through if it comes back to you because we're in the ground in the ground in the ground in the ground And now you're all I ever wanted Because you're all I ever needed and now you're all I ever needed because you're all I ever wanted And now you're all I ever wanted Because you're all I ever needed and now you're all I ever needed because you're all I ever wanted

Drive 02:26
I don't drive when I'm alone I can't turn up the radio but when I'm with you I don't give a goddamn you're my alpha bitch Sister can I drive your car Kick it into fifth and then Maybe we can fly Over the cliff I think back to '99 The year that I knew you were Changing from a man Into a woman Suddenly alive and potent Anywhere's the same to me To make you scream like God in heat a quiet lie is something sharp like Ice Sister can I drive your car Kick it into fifth and then Maybe we can fly Over the cliff

Nimbus 02:03
Everything is wet shiny and wet After a hard rain has fallen Hundreds of Thousands of raindrops exploding On impact And a rush of blood From my heart to my head Helps me to remember Oh how could I forget My heart My heart My heart My heart beats me Awake Awake Awake I'm one hour behind behind behind You're already at work And I cannot call Cannot call I cannot call I grind my teeth at them as the Rain clouds pass On a slow funeral march due East to you And I already miss you and the warmth of your eyes and I wish I could kiss you bring your warmth to these skies My heart My heart My heart My heart beats me Awake Awake Awake I'm one hour behind behind behind You're already at work And I cannot call

Breathers 02:57
Saw your face in a crystal ball Years before you walked into that room And made my heart attack The first thing that I saw and it was you Strangled all the words I spoke For years and kept them in a jar Hidden behind a cellar door I wish I didn't know Tired from my teeth on edge like razorblades stuck end to end if I could spit I'd cut you up If I could live I'd love you up Wake in fright but I'm asleep I haven't the strength to move my feet Tangled in ways I can't express I somehow wish you won't think less of me I'll keep quiet I won't say All the things you did before I'll keep quiet I won't say All the things you did before I'll keep quiet I won't say All the things you did before I'll keep quiet I won't say All the things you did before

Yer Ture 02:32
You were my friend You were my friend But I loved you Oh I loved you Oh a midnight wave You came my way Didn't know what to do Because I loved you Sapphire and ruby touch I know it's far too much For me to ask of you You were my friend You were my friend You were my friend

about

Rubaiyat

Rubaiyat is a three-Piece doom wop/indie rock band based out of Los Angeles, CA. Joel Heinrich sings off-kilter songs that take a darkly honest look at his brushes with love. With undercurrents of alternative rock like Pixies or Sonic Youth, Rubaiyat's lyrical content is focused on distilling moments into morsels of insight of life and love’s hedonistic and nihilistic tendencies. ... more
