whenever she's feeling empty
whenever she's feeling insecure
whenever her face is frozen
unable to fake it anymore
her shadow is always with her
her shadow will always keep her small
so frighten that he wont lover her
she builds up a wall
oh no, she knows where to hide in the dark
oh no, she's nowhere to hide in the dark
She's a star
she's been in disguise forever
she's tried to disguise her stellar views
much brighter than all this static
now she's coming through
oh no, she knows where to hide in the dark
oh no, she's nowhere to hide in the dark
She's a star
Don't tell her to turn down,
Put on your shades if you can't see,
Don't tell her to turn down,
Turn up the flame.
She's a star
it's a long road
it's a great cause
it's a long road
its a good call
you got it,
you got it,
SHE'S A STAR
[Music depresses me]
Help's on it's way, I'm lost in space
No protection
Please come and rescue me
I've got no friends, an orphan
Who had faith, who betrayed
Took only a kiss to give me away
Who had faith, who betrayed
Took only a kiss
To blow you away
All in my head
I'll play dead, if you want me to
if you want me all in my head
i'll play dead, if you want me to
if you want me
Who had faith, who betrayed
Took only a kiss to give me away
Who had faith, who betrayed
Took only a kiss
to blow you away
All in my head
I'll play dead, if you want me to
if you want me all in my head
i'll play dead, if you want me to
if you want me
I'm building a fire
A flame for always
I'm living on fire
A flame for always
I'm living like fire
A flame for always
I'm building a fire
A flame for always
I'm living like fire
A flame for always
How long to go
Before this flame dies
How long to burn
Before I blaze away
I blaze away
So long to all my friends
And those who taunted me
To those who lead me on
To those who...
You're a late child
You're a love child
It's enough, child
That you're so appealing
You're appealing, you're appealing
To a need that we all have been feeling
You don't fit where you've been put
They're so straight
Straight out of some book
Try to fake it with the real men
Tried to fill your father's size ten
Alone in this world
You're not a boy or a girl
Don't let them wear you down
What a wonderful ego
You should be so proud
Far out is the life for you
Not just a life, that you must make do
Alone in this world
You're not a boy or a girl
Nothing is certain,
Every things changed
More than just words when you know it's you who's in pain
You hold the chalice, you hold the blade
Bring them together and see what you've made
Facing the future inside a cocoon
Feeling control when you've been so abused
Alone in this world
Your're not a boy or a girl
Alone in this world
You're not a boy or a girl
Blue pastures fade away
Green rivers in silver light
I'm walking to the sound of distant bells
So peaceful I don't know who I am
And just when I think its clear
It turns all grey again
And I wonder who will find me in the snow
And just when I thought I was free
I got pulled in again
Once you're in, you're in
Blue pastures calling home
I'm Walking but I can't stand anymore
Hear voices, can't tell near or far
Weird voices lay me down
And I don't see why I'm obliged
To just carry on
When everything I touch
Turns out wrong
And I feel I've committed some crime
But I don't know what I've done
One day life just wins
One day life just wins
Still breathing
But I'm tired and I want to go home
Still breathing
But I'm not sure anymore
Still breathing
But it doesn't really matter if I fade away
Fall into sleep
Leave the room, don't use the door
We're only on the 13th floor
Your veil is lifting
You've got nothing on, you've nothing on
Every dog must have his day,
Every Caesar should be spade
Your veil is lifting
And we can see right through your suit of tears
You don't own us
Can't control us
Avalanche
Avalanche
Every face a stepping stone
At the top's a throne of bones
Your curtain's twitching
But you can't see past your daily sneer
We don't fear you
Now we see you
Avalanche
Now we got into your shoes
Its your turn to be abused
The heat is rising
And you can't hold back this rage with fear
You accused us
While you used us
Avalanche
You accused us
While you screwed us
For a love you dream
A dreamer still
For you love a dream
A dreamer still
For you dream
A love too bad to meet
Where your song is all
The wait is still
And your song is of
Your rage will steal
I relax and hold your way to see
It's the falling dark beside the sea
It's a dream along the water scene
It's the light of that you¡¯re ever she
Pray down in your home
Pray down in your home
Smile in your home
Lay down and in your home
Lay down in your home
Smile
Lay the law down in your home
Lay the law down in your home

Working in different mine shifts
Working in different minds
Down the chute and out the door
I know that I've been here before
The blinding lights, the long white coat
Cut the cord before I choke
Oh, please sir, handle me gently
I've got nothing to protect me
This man in a mask stabbed me in the back
No sooner alive than I'm being attacked
If this is the planet Earth
Oh please, mom, take me back in your sack
My keepers aren't too bad this time
The man's quiet, the woman's crying
When I arrive, what's hers is mine
I take and take it all the time
Oh please sir, do not tempt me
Those sweet things, they just destroy me
I always want more than I can get
My belly's full, but I'm not done yet
Need something to kill
The word is you¡.mine
It's true, it's true, it's true
You taught us how to be the same as you
If only you really knew
We wouldn't do what you do
It's true
As you poison the Earth you poison our lives
This isn't living, but another disguise
Go looking for truth
As all of this is built on lies and lies etc.
Hey, hey, hey now you've found me
Everything's so clear
With your arms around and your song in my heart
There's simply nothing I can fear
Feel he inside burst through my head
Replacing my eyes
Please don't let me hide
Cut through my head
Replacing my eyes
There are so many traps been laid
How can you avoid one
Put your foot down in a moonlit glade
Snap, your ankle's broken
(refrain)
I don't know how decisions get made
Which are the turns to take
It doesn't seem to matter what plans are laid
You can't tell when the wave will break
So many ways
There are so many colourful rays
How are you going to choose one
Bright lights look all right from here
But seduction has to be wrong
(refrain)
So many ways
I don't know which path you're taking,
If it's bent or straight
All I know is I've found something that will take me home again
So many ways
If you keep your wits about you,
Search with an open heart
You'll be sure to find your answers, penetrate the scream in the cynics
So many ways
Lost and if you are looking for foot's path
Floating free in space
There are all these lights coming out the dark
Do they lead to the same place
So many ways
An earwig crawled into my ear
Made a meal of the wax and hairs
Phoned friends, had an insect party
But all I could hear was the bass drum drum
All I could hear was the bass drum drum
Now if you put your ear close you'll be able to hear
Not the sea shore noise of the shore sea shell
The clatter of plates
And the bronze of the bell
Going ding dong, ding dong, ding dong dong
Going out of my mind as they hollow my head
I'm floating in the air, but my body's in bed
The more they eat, the more I see
What is not, but just could be
You can hear them laughing in my head
You can hear them laughing in my head
Ha ha ha ha ha
Now they've eaten my memory, I can't recall
How the world used to be before
So a vision is the same as what is real
Depends upon the lighting, and how I feel
Ding dong, drum drum, ha ha ha ha ha
And then the music stopped
The musician went away
They'd eaten all my brain
The red and the grey
They all stack at home
Dug a tongue through my nose
Where my brain used to be
Now there's only a hole
Tiptoe behind sapper
Who crawls through the minefield
Knife in the soil, and his ear to the ground
Hiding in shadow, he takes the risks
You are the pimp who steals the sound
Fox breathes again, when the fox breathes again
When you spy a fresh face remember the rich taste
You want a part, at the cost of it all, so you open your flick knife
And lop off a thick slice
Envy makes the flyer fall
Please don't hitch a ride with us, you leave a slime that turns to pus
Your appetite is out of sight
I think I'll be feeding you dynamite
Please don't hitch a ride with us, you leave a slime that turns to pus
Your appetite is out of sight
I think I'll be feeding you dynamite
I'll never feed you again
When you spy a fresh face, remember the rich taste
You want a part at the cost of it all, so you open your flick knife
And lop off a thick slice
Envy makes the flyer fall
The only way to kill this breed is stuff its face, let him feed
Piling the plate, pushing the load, make him eat 'til he explodes
The only way to kill this breed is stuff its face, let him feed
Piling the plate, pushing the load, make him eat 'til he explodes
I'll never feed you again
Hello
Swig from the bottle, now who's sucking who
You'd prefer the nipple, but your teeth have cut through
Defects we're born with, but poisons we choose
He' s not there, just a gap in the air
He's not there, just the smell of despair
He's not there
Pill-popping and a pint-pulling
And a thirst-quenching, mind-bending
Pill-popping and a pint-pulling
And a thirst-quenching, mind-bending
Pill-popping and a knife-pulling
People come knocking, but there's no one at home
Did you get my call, oh you haven't a phone
That look in your eyes, it's miles away
Don't look in your eyes, you are miles away
He's not there he's really not there
Oh, people come knocking but there's no one at home
Did you get my call, oh you haven't a phone
That look in your eyes, it's miles away
That look in your eyes, it's miles away
Why is it always, when I open my mouth
I clash with whatever you do
When we dance together your rhythm and tempo
Cuts through my quick step and tune
You cry, I, I, can't take anymore
But you can't find the bloody door
Oh you might think we're free
'Til we slip back into memory
We're joined by a purpose that will not release us
'Til we have come to some terms
Some love and acceptance, not hate and repentance
These skills are things to be learned
You cry, I, I, can't take anymore
But you can't find the bloody door
Oh you might think we're free
'Til we slip back into memory
I love you so
I'm stuck, can't you let go
Let's try again
This time we will be friends
I cannot change
All my tracks have been laid
Playin' the game
It's just, it's just a memory
Lost in memory
------------------------------------------------------
Operator the lines are down
And I'm a traitor
A traitor to a beautiful cause
God made me to her own design
Bad planing
Too many floors
How long will it take to get used to me?
How long will it take to get used to me?
Don't wait that long
Won't wait that long
Don't wait that long
Don't wait that long
Oh yes I love
But today I could hate you
I could hurt you
Cause we're joined at the heart
Beats faster, hits harder
Than a boxer
Whenever we are apart
Body language is an SOS
I don't understand how our fights start
Not enough
Too believe in love
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know where we've gone wrong
How long will it take to get used to me?
How long will it take to get used to me?
Don't wait that long
Won't wait that long
No we won't wait that long
Don't wait that long
Operator
The lines are down
And I'm a traitor
To a beautiful cause
God made me
To her
Own design
Bad planning
Too many floors
I've got too many floors
Too many floors
Don't wait that long
Won't wait that long
Scared to be alone
Frightened of the dark
Everything's too much
For a boy out of touch with his feelings
I must be to blame
I must be at fault
I believe I'm never good enough
To shine a light that lingers
I have witnessed starbursts in your coal
black eyes
I am what I try to deny
I have seen the serpent coiling set to strike
And love is the usual disguise
Pleased to meet you
Where you from
And what's your name?
Never came alive
Never cut the cord
Nothing is too much for a boy out of touch
With his feelings
Worshipping the moonshine
Skinning up the grapevine
I don't have a plan where I'm going
I just follow my fingers
I will be the burning man
To grace these times
I am what I try to deny
I reflect the same eyes looking back at me
And love is the only reply
Pleased to meet you
Where you from and what's your name
We're more than enough
Dead Ringers
Pleased to meet you
Where you from
And what's your name ?
What's your name ?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
There's a fight, there's a fight, there's a fight
And the rage is growin'
You have pushed me through too many windows and too many doors
You have torn all the joy from my heart and my body shows it
The only beats you allow around here are the beat of war
Let's have a party
Bring a gun
Bring a gun
Don't go out with that smile tonight or you might get arrested
Get a license for that grin or they'll lock you away
If you show that you're happy inside then you're gonna get busted
The only law we allow around here is an organized raid
Let's have a party
Bring a gun
Bring a gun
What are you gonna do when the muscle wont move when they are lockin you up
Blockin the light
How many words will you waste on the telephone
What are you gonna do when the muscle wont move when they are lockin you up
How many words will you waste on the telephone
Lets lets lets
Have a party
And you can bring your gun
And you can bring your shinny new helicopter
Bring a gun
Bring a gun
Lets have a party
I nearly died when you jumped in
But you had to drown before you could swim
All the people on the beach, they were so impressed
That they wanted to join you but no they wouldn¡¯t undress
Oh there, that wetness, splashed their skin
So they prayed for a whirlpool to pull you in
Ya ho
Ya ho
Ya ho
So they looked away and they tried to pretend
That it was for you, but no it wasn¡¯t for them
Now the fear of sinking remains in place
But it¡¯s this fear of failure that a real disgrace
Ya ho
Ya ho
Let me be the one
Let me be the one
Let me be the one
Let me be the one
To get over you wall
To get over you wall
Heads in the sand, sea out of reach
Swept away by the games of the beach
Those people sat and watched your stand
While the wait of their fears pulled them underground
Will anyone learn from the stories that are told
Of the tribe who drown in a grave of gold
Ya ho
Ya ho
Ya ho
Ya ho
Ya ho
Ya ho
I see your heads down
Someone¡¯s calling
Put you heads down
Someone¡¯s drowning
Look up see what¡¯s fit for your eyes
Some escaping on someone drowning
Your head is underground
Your head is underground
Your head is underground
Your head is under the ground
Hitching a ride with the sandman
He¡¯ll bury your head in his hands
Turn into a bland man
Where will you make your stand?
Hup springs, the voice in man
The prophet calls, the master¡¯s plan
You resist his true demands
It¡¯s an inner thing that calls at you
Makes you do what you must do
A voice you can ignore
Find the key that fits the door
Follow that song right to its core
Find the key that fits the door
Follow that song right to its core
But I would rather not go, I would rather stay home
I would rather not go, I would rather stay home
And eat and sleep and think and eat
And eat and sleep and think and eat
Rather not go, rather stay at
Rather not go, rather stay at home
If there¡¯s someone outside to see you
You can always run away
But when there¡¯s something inside does the calling
There¡¯s nowhere you can hide
Jump down an open stair
Fire escape, to the frame and air
Hiding away from the wrong despair
It¡¯s and inner thing that calls at you
Makes you do what you must do
A voice you can¡¯t ignore
Find the key that fits the door
Follow that song right to its core
Find the key that fits the door
Follow that song right to its core
But I would rather not go, I would rather stay home
I¡¯d rather not go, I would rather stay home
Where I will eat and sleep and think and eat
And eat and sleep and think and eat
Talk to friends having oh such fun
Watching late night television
Other side of midnight
Mike Tyson¡¯s feat
Donahue and Nighbeat
Jifeman sends my girlfriend to sleep
And eat
And eat
And eat, and eat, and eat, and eat, and eat...
Sleep and eat, sleep and eat...
Drifting through the atmosphere
Through the afterglow
Witnessing one thousand lies
I'll blow, where the wind blows
Falling in between the lines
Never fitting in
Someone tells me what's my crime
Too thin
I'm too thin
Due to come back down due to come back down
Don't wanna, don't wanna land
Due to come back down, due to come back down
I don't wanna, don't wanna land
Don't wanna, don't wanna, land
Land
Land
This time I've a staring role
Hide the shape I'm in
I'm too old to sacrifice for gold, and skin
For gold
And skin
For gold
For gold
I don't want to come back down, don't want to land
Down, don't want to come down, down don't want to land
Down, don't want to come down, down don't want to land
Down, don't want to come down, down don't want to land
Drifting through the atmosphere
Floating through this land
Sifting through one thousand years
Of sand
All sand
Drifting through the atmosphere
Floating through this land
Sifting through one thousand years
Of sand
All sand
Drifting through the atmosphere
Floating through this land
Sifting through one thousand years
Of sand
All sand
Drifting through the atmosphere
Doctor what is happening to me?
Palpitations, my mind is diseased
Even my vision is impaired
I'm losing my hair
Cause when I hold her in my arms I feel like Fred Astaire
Lovesick, my temperature's high
Just met a girl, who believes we can fly
I'm a bull, not a bear
I'm a millionaire
Cause when I hold her in my arms, I feel like Fred Astaire
I believe in happiness
I believe in love
I believe she fell to earth from somewhere high above
I believe in Hollywood
Don't believe that love must bring despair
Cause when I hold her in my arms, I feel like Fred Astaire
Who said love is just a disease
A plague for the naive
These days no one believes
Meteors may strike the earth
Nations live and die
I'm the boy who got the girl
And now we're gonna fly
We can cross the race divide
Bridge a gap that wasn't really there
Cause when I hold her in my arms, I feel like Fred Astaire
I'm gonna hold her in my arms, just like Fred Astaire
I'm gonna hold her in this charm, like Fred Astaire
Like Fred Astaire
Like Fred Astaire
Like Fred Astaire
There's a storm outside, and the gap between crack and thunder
Crack and thunder, is closing in, is closing in
The rain floods gutters, and makes a great sound on the concrete
On a flat roof, there's a boy leaning against the wall of rain
Aerial held high, calling ";come on thunder, come on thunder";
Sometimes, when I look deep in your eyes, I swear I can see your soul
Sometimes, when I look deep in your eyes, I swear I can see your soul
It's a monsoon, and the rain lifts lids off cars
Spinning buses like toys, stripping them to chrome
Across the bay, the waves are turning into something else
Picking up fishing boats and spewing them on the shore
The boy is hit, lit up against the sky, like a sign, like a neon sign
And he crumples, drops into the gutter, legs twitching
The flood swells his clothes and delivers him on, delivers him on
Sometimes, when I look deep in your eyes, I swear I can see your soul
Sometimes, when I look deep in your eyes, I swear I can see your soul
There's four new colors in the rainbow
An old man's taking polaroids
But all he captures is endless rain, endless rain
He says listen, takes my head and puts my ear to his
And I swear I can hear the sea
Somtimes, when I look in your eyes I can see your soul
(I can reach your soul)
(I can touch your soul)
Sometimes
Where is the love
Where is the love
Where is the love
That everyone is talking of
Where is the love
Where is the love
That everyone is dreaming of
Come to bed
Come to bed
Come to bed
I cannot sleep in all this heat
Come to bed
Come to bed
This terror's all within my head
Don't be deceived, no land in sight
We're all adrift in this dark night
We float on seas of disbelief
While singing songs of pain relief
Shake my body - release my soul
Punish my senses - lose control
This body's young but my spirit's old
Scatter my ashes and let my feelings go
Where is the love
Where is the love
Where is the love
That everyone is talking of
Where is the love
Where is the love
That everyone is dreaming of
Don't be deceived, no land in sight
We're all adrift in this dark night
We float on seas of disbelief
While singing songs of pain relief
Shake my body - release my soul
Punish my senses - lose control
This body's young but my spirit's old
Scatter my ashes and let my feelings go
Shake my body - release my soul
Punish my senses - lose control
Heart of gold heart of gold heart of gold
One body in my mother's belly
Chinese dolls, box in boxes
How do you sail the ship from the bottle?
How do you sail the ship from the bottle?
Heart of gold heart of gold heart of gold
Gold, gold mother, gold, gold, gold mother
I can see the head now
Between her legs now
Purple headed alien
Water logged old man
In the blood silence
In the blood silence
Silence, silence
Cry for me mother cry for me mother Crimean mother cry me another
My feet and hands won't work
My feet and hands won't work
In my baby's body
My brand new baby's body
I'll suck my fingers red
I'll suck my fingers red
In my baby's body
My brand new baby's body
I can see the head now
Between her legs now
Purple headed alien
Water logged old man
In the blood silence
In the blood silence
Silence
Silence
Silence
Shut up
In the bright lights and harsh sounds, there's a man
In green ceremonial robes and mask, dipping a straw through your nose
Mouthwash of meconium lungs full of meconium
Heart full of meconium
Meconium
Meconium
Chinese dolls in boxes
Chinese dolls in boxes
I'll go out the same way I came in
Chinese dolls in boxes
And everything you touch
And everything you love
And everything you touch
Turns to gold
As precious as
As rich as
As dear as
As strong as
As hard as
Gold
Mother
Past the boudaries of all pain
You journey to the edge of death in search of a child
Gold mother there's only one
Gold mother and she's mine
She's all mine
Shut up let's hear it
Shut up

Brave face, and English illusion
Stiff lips soft and creamy inside
I'm hip to your pain and confusion
You can't tell how much suffering
On a face that's always smiling
I swore I would always be with you
But now I'm afraid of your tears
I fear that you might take me with you
You can't tell how much suffering
On a face that's always smiling
I've grinned my way through beatings
I've smiled my way through school
But underneath this grinning
Is the sadness of the fool
No longer know my feelings
Been fooling for too long
Borne of desperation in an effort to look strong
Look strong, look strong
Hey there monkey face you look so strong
That joke could crack you with laughter
Release from the edge of despair
Success is the god that I'm after
In jokes, I'm a millionaire
You can't tell how much suffering
On a face that's always smiling
Today, I won't think of any sad things
Will not think of torture, or the rape of nature
Just today, I won't touch those sickening papers
Will just let myself get swept away by this beautiful day
What for, tell oh me, tell oh me, what for
What for, tell oh me, tell oh me, what for
The sunset tonight is beyond all words, in the sky above the square
The starling spiral dancing on air.
What for, tell oh me, tell oh me, what for
What for, tell oh me, tell oh me, what for
I will pass through the glass into air past those birds
In the square, I am sun, I am sky in my mind's eye
Today, I will dive into foaming seas
Sick fish, myself, and some strange debris.
I would prefer to be anywhere away from here
Oh I would prefer to be anywhere away from here
I would prefer to be anywhere away from here
I would prefer to be anywhere away from here
What for, tell oh me tell oh me, what for
What for, tell oh me, tell oh me, what for
I will pass through the glass into air past those birds
In the square I am sun I am sky
What for, tell oh me tell oh me, what for
What for, tell oh me, tell oh me, what for
I've been a fool again
Won't let it show
I've been a fool again
Don't let it, don't let it grow
Hold my heart I can't feel
Hold my heart I can't feel
Now I have stolen poison fruit
It makes me weak
And my baby's gonna leave me for some creep
But if you work your miracle,
work your miracle
I can see
If you work your miracle,
work your miracle
I can see
Cos my baby's gonna leave me for some thief
For baby she is hard
To deceive
I've been a fool again
Don't let it grow
Hold my heart I can't feel
Hold my heart only when I bleed
Broken it's all broken
What is it good for
What is it good for
Broken
Don't know what's good for me
Don't know what's good for me
But if you work your miracle
Work your miracle I can see
If you work your miracle
Work your miracle I can seeeeeeeeeee
Why so close
Big boys in black hats
Cowboys with white guns
White guns shoot blue white
Blue white baptism
No buffaloes
No Indians
No more buffaloes
Red sky is falling
Blue blood no stalling
White heat will strip you
No time to run far
(refrain 1)
Ivan's built a wall of lead 'round his house
Nobody can get in or out
Running out of food for ammunition
Frightened of the darkness
Sending out scouts
Why hang the fire so close
Why hang the fire so close
Why hang the fire so close
Why so close
(refrain 2)
Wayne's got a wall that's much more subtle
Wore headphones since he was born
Watches Ivan through dark glasses
Hand on his gun waiting for the storm
One false move and we all fall down
No funeral games, no such fun
Here's your ticket to the party
That's what you get for playing with a gun
Six-gun so close
(refrain 1)
Ivan's got a wall of lead 'round his house
Nobody can get in or out
Running out of food for ammunition
Frightened of the darkness
Sending out scouts
(refrain 2)
Wayne's got a wall that's much more subtle
Wore headphones since he was born
Watches Ivan through dark glasses
Hands on his gun waiting for the storm
Why stand the fire so close (Why)
Why stand the fire so close (Why)
Why stand the fire so close (Why)
Why?
This is not, this is not, a song
This is a shield, this is a charm, with your name on
By this beat, by this verse, I'm protected
From your heat, and your curse, is reflected
If anybody hurts me
If anybody hurts me
Here's a mirror with your name on
Singing we're gonna miss you when you're gone
Here's a mirror with your name on
Singing we're gonna miss you when you're gone
Your green eyes, poison pen, serpent's tongue
Will return to the source that they came from
Revenge is the wine
Forgiveness is fine
Forgiveness divine
Revenge is more human
Here's a mirror with your name on
Singing we're gonna miss you when you're gone
Here's a mirror with your name on
Singing we're gonna miss you when you're gone
No words, all's been said and done
No more words, all's been said and done
Here's a mirror with your name on
Singing we're gonna miss you when you're gone
Here's a mirror with your name on
Singing we're gonna miss you when you're gone
Here's a mirror with your name on
Singing we're gonna miss you when you're gone
There's a knocking at my window
Not one for yes but two for no
Some spirit is unsatisfied
From watching her world spin out of control
At night she goes walking around her old home
Objecting to how it's all changed
She preferred her arrangements to the ones which we have made
Walking the ghost
Walking the ghost
Walking the ghost
There's baggage on my shoulders
Making me stoop bending my frame
My neck is crocked lopsided
I will never be tall again
At night she goes walking around her old home
You can feel so much sadness wrapped up in her bones
I can feel so much sadness wrapped up in her bones
Walking the ghost
Walking the ghost
Walking the ghost
I'm sensitive to unkindness
Stab in the back burn in the ribs
I need your fingers to straighten my flesh
I hope your fingers are kind
Walking the ghost
Walking the ghost
Walking the ghost
Say Something
You're as tight as a hunter's trap
Hidden well, what are you concealing
Poker face, carved in stone
Amongst friends, but all alone
Why do you hide
Say something, say something, anything
I've shown you everything
Give me a sign
Say something, say something, anything
Your silence is deafening
Pay me in kind
Take a drug to set you free
Strange fruit from a forbidden tree
You've got to come down soon
More than a drug is what I need
Need a change of scenery
Need a new life
Say something, say something anything
I've shown you everything
Give me a sign
Say something, say something, anything
Your silence is deafening
Pay me in kind
Say something
I'm open wide, open wondering
Have you swallowed everything
The view from here's breathtaking
My visions all surrounding
The humans look like insects
There is only one way down
But it's cold and lonely in this stratosphere
Gliding through the darkness
Where is my craft leading to
Am I damned or blessed?
Don't let go on top of the world
Don't let go on top of the world
Will my good friends desert me
Or will they prove themselves?
Are my demands all greedy
Or are they what I need?
If I will not be faithful
I must accept betrayal
When your turn comes to leave me
Will my free ways have failed?
Don't let go on top of the world
Don't let go on top of the world
I'll meet you inside this hollow world
I'll meet you inside
Hollow world, hollow world
It's a long way down
It's a long way down
When the world swallows whole all you've known
There are no landmarks you can recognise
Where is the jewel that will never fade
Will not decay with old age
Maybe a death, maybe the depression
Those things you thought you could lean on
Are suddenly just an impression
Well, if you put your trust in things of dust
You're gonna feel the pain of loss
The pain of loss
When the world swallows whole all you have known
There are no landmarks you can recognise
We've got no understanding of this body's needs
We've got no understanding of real philosophy
We've got no understanding of mortality
So we keep putting our trust in things that rust
And then we feel the pain of loss
Keep putting our trust in things that rust
And then I feel the pain of loss
Tongue split
In the night
I woke up in blood
Red sheets
Wrapped tight
Dreamt I was drowning in mud
Now there¡¯s a beast in my mouth
It¡¯s out of control
Beats with will of its own
Broken my teeth withdraw my gums
I think that it¡¯s taken control
Spits out your emotion
Left a deep impression
Expression
Expression, makes me feel more expression
Life changed
That night
As rip chord took command
Spit balls
All the abuse
Were more than friends could stand
Now I don¡¯t think before I speak
I open my mouth to see
What comes out
A whisper or a shout
Some sanity or a scream
Spits out raw emotion
Looking for a deeper expression
Expression
Expression
Expression
Expression, makes me feel more... expression
That be me says it all
That be me has it all
Expression
Expression
Put your hand inside this dream
Tip the scale, release this dream
Going down on a rolling wave
I'll pack the flag before I hit the ground
I can hear your thoughts arise
>From these depths to creamy skies
Driftin round, the waters cool
Let the waves cover you
The surface storm shows nothing free
The surface is calm the water is clear
I've been shot
In the wherewithals
And I don't think I can stop
From all this hullabaloo
Mary Jane's
On the game again
Seratonin's all I use
I just wish it were true
Don't treat me like a God
Treat me like a dog
I'll come home to you, to you
To you
I'm addicted to you
You're my love, my senorita
I'm addicted to you
Hope we're gonna pull through
I'm addicted to you
You're the love that makes me younger
I'm addicted to you
I hope we can pull through
Pull through
Sing a prayer
Lonely nights are here
If I can't square my fears
With what I wanna do
Don't treat me like a God
Treat me like a dog
I'll come home to you, to you
To you
I'm addicted to you
You're my love, my senorita
I'm addicted to you
I hope we can pull through
I'm addicted to you
You're the love that makes me stronger
I'm addicted to you
I hope we gonna pull through
Pull through
I'm addicted to you
You're my love, my senorita
I'm addicted to you
I hope we can pull through
I'm addicted to you
You're the god that makes me stronger
I'm addicted to you
I hope we can turn blue
Turn blue
Ape your father's sins, your mother's mood swings
To perfection
Fall into a spin, shed another skin
Strip away all your protection
Laugh at the wonder of it all
Laugh so loud you break the fall
And you see the gathering clouds
Cry at the sadness of the world
Cry so long you break it's cold
And you hear the gathering sounds
Do everything you fear
In this there's power
Fear is not to be afraid of
Laugh at the wonder of it all
Laugh so loud you break your fall
And you hear the gathering sounds
Come, dip on in
Leave your bones, leave your skin
Leave your past, leave your craft
----------------------------------------------------
Blow me away
Was that love you declared
Only a word love can mean anything
Understand the world we're livin in
Oceans apart
What's that view from your way
Beautiful craft
Weather and change
Understand the world were living in
Love can mean anything
God made love to me
Soothed away my gravity
Gave me a pair of angels wing
Clear vision and some magic things
God made love to me
Thank you for those things
Understand the world were living in
Love can mean anything
Darling I'm open
And darling unbroken
Now we done our time
We can drift away
Like the heavy cloud
With the weight of rain
Understand the world were living in
Love can mean anything
Understand the world were living in
Love can mean anything
Understand the world were living in
Love can mean anything
Understand the world were living in
Before you, no direction
Before I, came on in
Before you, let your doubts down
The wall, we're closing in
We're closing in
Adore you, no protection
Ignore you, it can't be done
To make do, with a safer option
A breakthrough, two to one
Two to one
And I hope I'm not shooting my mouth off
Again
And I pray I'm not tempting the fates
When I say we can go on forever
It's a date
It's a date
(Here she comes)
Yes I know that I love to seem foolish
(Here she comes)
Like now
Yes I know that love hardly lasts
(Here she comes)
(Here she comes)
And it's hard to receive that we're happy
(Here she comes)
Here's my heart
Here's my heart
Here she comes
----------------------------------------------
Ring the bells
Wake the town
Everyone is sleeping
Shout at the crowd
Wake them up
This angers deeper than sleep.
Got to keep awake to what is happening.
I can't see a thing through my ambitions,
I no longer feel like God is watching over me
Got to tell the world we've all been dreaming
This is not the end, a new beginning
I no longer feel my God is watching over me.
Break the code.
Concentrate.
Let the doors swing open
See through all your walls
All your floors
Now you're in deeper than sleep
Got to keep awake to what is happening.
I can't see a thing through my ambitions,
I no longer feel like God is watching over me
Got to tell the world we've all been dreaming
This is not the end, a new beginning
I no longer feel my God is watching over me.
When you let me fall
Grew my own wings
Now I'm as tall as the sky
When you let me drown
Grew gills and fins
Now I'm as deep as the sea
When you let me die
My spirit's free
There's nothing challenging me.
Oh dear what can the matter be
Princess, dreaming again
Fearful, live life more easily
Darkness, leave her in peace
Always wanting help
Will make you weak
No such place has help
But in your dreams
Climb out of your well
Protect me
Protect me
Angel, what is possessing me
Feeling, making me weak
Falling under your spell again
Wanting, love's out of reach
Climb out of your well
It's not so deep
The price of living life
Is not so steep
No such place has hel
PProtect me
Protect me
Here they come again, here they come again, here they come again
Always wanting help
Will make you weak
The price of loving life
Does not come cheap
Climb out of your well
Protect me
Protect me
I'm so alone tonight
My bed feels larger than when I was small
Lost in memories
Lost in all the sheets and old pillows
So alone tonight
Miss you more than I will let you know
Miss the outline of your back
Miss you breathing down my neck
They're all out to get you
Once again they are all out to get you
Once again
Insecure, what you gonna do
Feel so small they could step on you
Called you up, answering machine
When the human touch
Is what is need
What I need (X4)
Is you
I need you
Looked in the mirror, I don't know who I am anymore
The face is familiar
But the eyes, the eyes give it all away
They're all out to get you
Once again they're all out to get you
Here they come again (X8)
Insecure what you gonna do
Feel so small they could step on you
Called you up, answering machine
When the human touch
Is what I need
What I need (X8)
Is you (X6)
If you let me breathe (X5)
They're all out to get you
Once again
To get you
You were one
One of the three
One in three must find some peace
You were one
One of the three
I need proof before belief
Oh well, you just knew they'd come for you
So it was suicide, suicide
Oh well, you got just what you wanted
I hope your satisfied
One of the three (X4)
You were one
One of the three
One in three must find some peace
Oh well I guess your not to blame for what they've done in your name
In your name
Oh well, it's a shame you got so famous just for a sacrafice
One fo the three (X8)
You were one
One of the three
One in three must find some peace
Send forth your lamb to the slaughter
Send forthyour lamb to the slaughter
You send forthyour lamb to the slaughter
You're a weapon of devotion
Keep the faithful entertained
You're a lover of attention
Found a way to pawn the soul
Disposition may be fetching
But the world moves on and leaves you far behind
I hear you, I hear you, whispering such gorgeous stories
I see you, I see you, trying to break free
You liar, you liar, you can't live the dreams you're spinning
You liar, love to be deceived
You're falling, you're falling, falling from your god-like distance
You're fashion, just fashion, fashion doesn't keep
You're sour, so sour, all is hope and trust is misplaced
You're sour, now you are alone
Walking on fire, feel the way the world's inclining
Walking on fire, hate to deceive
Walking on fire, now the world will keep its distance
Walking on fire, you rather than me
My son says, dear father, what did you do when the world turned over
Keep spinning, keep spinning, send us off to sleep
You liar, you liar, all your words are just dust in moonshine
You liar, love to be deceived
Walking on fire, found a place away from humans
Walking on fire, hate to deceive
Walking on fire, now the world will keep its distance
Walking on fire, you rather than me
There¡¯s a Malayan stripper of sex unknown
Some Siamese twins from a broken home
Maria¡¯s party, what a show going down
Maria loves her life, but she¡¯ll show you how
There¡¯s a strong man tearing himself into pieces
A magician who will spin you on the end of his spinderly fingers
There¡¯s a show going on
Maria loves her life, she¡¯ll show you how, how, how
There¡¯s a high wire act on the telephone wire
And another Buddhist monk has set himself on fire
There¡¯s a fakir outside being buried alive
Maria¡¯s mad aunt has yet to arrive
A dahlia that dances, and a frog with wings,
A bear in a tutu that just loves to sing, karaoke
Maria loves her life, and that¡¯s all, and that¡¯s all, and that¡¯s all.
La La La La La La La etc.
You will love her forever when the scene hits your town
La La La La La La La etc.
You will love her forever
You will all love her forever
Maria¡¯s Party
And that¡¯s all.
Since your mother cast her spell
Every kiss has left a bruise
You've been raiding too much meaning from existence
Now your head is used and sore
And the forecast is for more
Memories falling, like falling rain
Falling rain
Every view they hold on you's
A piano, out of tune
You're an angel
You're a demon
You're just human
Now your world has turned to trash
Broken windows on the past
Take that child and teach him senseless
Damage the dream, damage the dream
I feel nothing, I feel nothing at all
I feel nothing at all
In this gloomy, haunted place
All the feelings are of shame
All the windows have been broken by the children
So the wind screams up the stairs
Slams the doors and rattles chairs
I wish we weren't conceived in violence
Damage the dream, damage the dream
The magic is broken
The house is in ruins
Your memory's one-sided
The side that you're choosing feels nothing
Feels nothing at all
We feel nothing at all
I'm a member of an ape-like race at the asshole end of the 20th century
This film's a thriller of the mind
Will we destroy our homes, release ourselves from the weights of gravity
I'll be amazed if we survive
Low low low
Low low low
Low low low
Low low low
This race to space we're on to release ourselves from the weights of gravity
Our highs are higher than our lows
This world's a state of mind and I can hear your thoughts much too clearly
>From slime to ape we'll learn to fly
Low low low
Low low low
Low low low
Low low low
Oh we're so powerful
Watch these giants collide
So individual
Will we ever find peace of mind
Low low low
Low low low
Low low low
Nobody knows
Nobody knows
Angel
Your heart hurts here
Your heart hurts here
Your heart hurts here
When you come to me
Don't forget your feelings
I've got nothing you you might need
I'm always bleeding
Oh don't you excite me
And please don't explain
There is no meaning here
Just potential for gain
You've got infinite patience
And the scent of the sea
Love these days when I'm near you
Watering hole, watering hole
Why did you lie to me
Did you lie to me
Why did you say those things
You didn't mean
My heart hurts here
My heart hurts here
What a wonderful fever
I'd had nothing but rain
We just made a decision
It's pain
It's pain
It's pain
I've got nothing to hold you
Got no chest to contain
You're a cave full of treasure
