Before I put you in some shit

To get you mothafuckas robbed

Where the climate is cold
And I know you player hatas got your eyes on my dope,
Cause I spit that real shit,
In your ear you can?
Spend summers on the beach
Hidden gears on the boat
Fifty G's all in twennys keep the duffel bag closed
What you call heat

It's the problem, I don't need no antidote
No cure nigga, I let the wound heal slow

Tour bus full of weed smoke, bitches n' hoes

Nigga that's how it goes

West coast camping no mean to brag the boss
The benz or the porche, I done have them both
Lil snoop count my money cut my fingers it's mo
It's the celebration, grab yo glass n' toast
We move like cagey tigers
We couldn't get closer than this
The way we walk
The way we talk
The way we stalk
The way we kiss
We slip through the streets
While everyone sleeps
Getting bigger and sleeker
And wider and brighter
We bite and scratch and scream all night
Let's go and throw
All the songs we know...
Into the sea
You and me
All these years and no one heard
I'll show you in spring
It's a treacherous thing
We missed you hissed the lovecats
We're so wonderfully wonderfully wonderfully
Wonderfully pretty!
Oh you know that I'd do anything for you...
We should have each other to tea huh?
We should have each other with cream
Then curl up by the fire
And sleep for awhile
It's the grooviest thing
It's the perfect dream
Into the sea
You and me
All these years and no one heard
I'll show you in spring
It's a treacherous thing
We missed you hissed the lovecats
We're so wonderfully wonderfully wonderfully
Wonderfully pretty!
Oh you know that I'd do anything for you...
We should have each other to dinner huh?
We should have each other with cream
Then curl up in the fire
Get up for awhile
It's the grooviest thing
It's the perfect dream
Hand in hand
Is the only way to land
And always the right way round
Not broken in pieces
Like hated little meeces...
How could we miss
Someone as dumb as this?
I love you... let's go...
Oh... solid gone...
How could we miss
Someone as dumb as this?
Tell me who doesn't love
What can never come back
You can never forget how it used to feel
The illusion is deep
It's as deep as the night
I can tell by your tears you remember it all
I am paralysed by the Blood of Christ
Though it clouds my eyes
I can never stop
How it feels to be dry
Walking bare in the sun
Every mirage I see is a mirage of you
As I cool in the twilight
Taste the salt on my skin
I recall all the tears
All the broken words
I am paralysed by the Blood of Christ
Though it clouds my eyes
I can never stop
When the sunset's glow drifts away from you
You'll no longer know
If any of this was really true at all...
Nothing ever changes
Nothing ever moves
I swim around in circles
In the same old lifeless room
And talk about the mirror man
The whispers in my ear again
The hot and sticky pillow man
Is smothering my face again
Nothing ever changes
Nothing ever moves
And I run around hysterical
In dead persistent gloom
And babble out in simile
Like dog-head-monkey-music me
Shut up shut up shut up shut up
Shut up!!!
And let me breathe...
I chose an eternity of this
Like falling angels
The world disappeared
Laughing into the fire
Is it always like this?
Flesh and blood and the first kiss
The first colours
The first kiss
We writhed under a red light
Voodoo smile
Siamese twins
A girl at the window looks at me for an hour
Then everything falls apart
Broken inside me
It falls apart
The walls and the ceiling move in time
Push a blade into my hands
Slowly up the stairs
And into the room
Is it always like this?
Dancing in my pocket
Worms eat my skin
She glows and grows
With arms outstretched
Her legs around me...
In the morning I cried
Leave me to die
You won't remember my voice
I walked away and grew old
You never talk
We never smile
I scream
You're nothing
I don't need you any more
You're nothing
It fades and spins
Fades and spins...
Sing out loud
We all die!!!
Laughing into the fire...
Is it always like this?
round and round and round and round and round we go
trying so hard to get a hold of everyone here
we've got to show how much we love them all
we squeak with idiot fake surprise
flap our hands and flutter our eyes
and lap up all their stupid lies
we've got to love them all
and i really don't know why we do it like this
imitation smiles and how "it's wonderful to be here!"
i'm really not sure what we're so scared we'll miss
so round and round and round and round and round we go
hanging on every shape they throw
it's strange the way we can't say no
until we love them all...
so we laugh at every stupid joke
and smoke and choke and point and poke
and gag on countless lines...
how much we love them all!
and i really don't know why we do it like this
imitation smiles and how "it's wonderful to be here!"
i'm really not sure what we're so scared we'll miss
maybe it's the sex with the drugs and the fools
or maybe it's the promise of belief?
maybe it's the pleasure and the pain of the cruel
or maybe it's the promise of relief?
and i know that we've said it so many times before
"once more and never again"
but however many times that we've said it before
once more is never the end...
Oh it's opening time
Down on Fascination Street
So let's cut the conversation
And get out for a bit
Because I feel it all fading and paling
And I'm begging
To drag you down with me
To kick the last nail in
Yeah! I like you in that
Like I like you to scream
But if you open your mouth
Then I can't be responsible
For quite what goes in
Or to care what comes out
So just pull on your hair
Just pull on your pout
And let's move to the beat
Like we know that it's over
If you slip going under
Slip over my shoulder
So just pull on your face
Just pull on your feet
And let's hit opening time
Down on Fascination Street
So pull on your hair
Pull on your pout
Cut the conversation
Just open your mouth
Pull on your face
Pull on your feet
And let's hit opening time
Down on Fascination Street
It's a perfect day for letting go
For setting fire to bridges
Boats
And other dreary worlds you know
Let's get happy!
It's a perfect day for making out
To wake up with a smile
Without a doubt
To burst grin giggle bliss skip jump sing and shout
Let's get happy!
'But it's much too late' you say
'For doing this now
We should have done it then'
Well it just goes to show
How wrong you can be
And how you really should know
That it's never too late
To get up and go...
It's a perfect day for kiss and swell
For rip-zipping button-popping kiss and well...
There's loads of other stuff can make you yell
Let's get happy!
It's a perfect day for doing the unstuck
For dancing like you can't hear the beat
And you don't give a further thought
To things like feet
Let's get happy!
'But it's much too late' you say
'For doing this now
We should have done it then'
Well it just goes to show
How wrong you can be
And how you really should know
That it's never too late
To get up and go...
Kick out the gloom
Kick out the blues
Tear out the pages with all the bad news
Pull down the mirrors and pull down the walls
Tear up the stairs and tear up the floors
Oh just burn down the house!
Burn down the street!
Turn everything red and the beat is complete
With the sound of your world
Going up in the fire
It's a perfect day to throw back your head
And kiss it all goodbye!
It's a perfect day for getting wild
Forgetting all your worries
Life
And everything that makes you cry
Let's get happy!
It's a perfect day for dreams come true
For thinking big
And doing anything you want to do
Let's get happy!
'But it's much too late' you say
'For doing this now
We should have done it then'
Well it just goes to show
How wrong you can be
And how you really should know
That it's never too late
To get up and go...
Kick out the gloom
Kick out the blues
Tear out the pages with all the bad news
Pull down the mirrors and pull down the walls
Tear up the stairs and tear up the floors
Oh just burn down the house!
Burn down the street!
Turn everything red and the dream is complete
With the sound of your world
Going up in the fire
It's a perfect day to throw back your head
And kiss it all goodbye!
Elise, it doesn't matter what you say
you know I'll stay here every yesterday
like keep on acting out the same
the way we act out
every way to smile
forget
and make believe we never needed
any more than this
any more than this
Elise it doesn't matter what you do
You know I'll never really get inside of you
to make your eyes catch fire the way they should
to (may?) the blue will pull me in
if they only would
if they only would
at least i'd lose this sense of sensing
something else that hides away
from me and you this world's to part
with aching moves
and breaking hearts
and all the smiles your hands can take
but i can take as much as you can throw
and then throw it all away
oh i'll throw it all away
like throwing faces as the sky
like throwing arms round yesterday
i stood and stared like stone in front of you
and the way i stared it seemed i looked right out of you
and even the way i stand
i stand away from you
elise believe me take me away from this
and secretly we'll slip into all our promises
away from it all in the cover of the night again
and we'll watch the years fall
and we'll dream it all back like we do
elise it doesn't matter what you say
you know i'll stay here every yesterday
like keep on acting out the same the way
we act out
every way to smile
forget and make believe we never needed any more than this
any more than this
as fast as i pick it up
it falls away through my clutching hands
as fast as i pick it up
it falls away like falling sand
but there's nothing else i can really do
there's nothing else i can really do
there's nothing else i can really do at all...
I'm in the room without a light
The room without a view
I'm here for one more treacherous night
Another night with you
It tortures me to move my hands
To try to move at all
And pulled
My skin so tight it screams
And screams and screams
And pulls some more
Hanging like this
Like a vampire bat
Hanging like this
Hanging on your back
I'm helpless again
My body is cut and broken
It's shattered and sore
My body is cut wide open
I can't stand anymore
It tortures me to move my hands
To try to move at all
And pulled
My skin so tight it screams
And screams and screams
And screams for more
Hanging like this
Like a vampire bat
Hanging like this
Hanging on your back
Oh it's torture
And I'm almost there
It's torture
But I'm almost there
It's torture
But I'm almost there
It's torture
But I'm almost there...
hopelessly drift
in the eyes of the ghost again
down on my knees
and my hands in the air again
pushing my face in the memory of you again
but i never know if it's real
never know how i wanted to feel
never quite said what i wanted to say to you
never quite managed the words to explain to you
never quite knew how to make them believable
and now the time has gone
another time undone
hopelessly fighting the devil
futility
feeling the moster
climb deeper inside of me
feeling him gnawing my heart away
hungrily
i'll never lose this pain
never dream of you again
There is no-one left in the world
That I can hold onto
There is really no-one left at all
There is only you
And if you leave me now
You leave all that we were
Undone
There is really no-one left
You are the only one
And still the hardest part for you
To put your trust in me
I love you more than I can say
Why won't you just believe?
Scream...
How each of us decides
I've never been sure
The part we play
The way we are
How each of us denies any other way in the world
Why each of us must choose
I've never understood
One special friend
One true love
Why each of us must lose everyone else in the world
However unsure
However unwise
Day after day play out our lives
However confused
Pretending to know to the end
But this isn't truth this isn't right
This isn't love this isn't life this isn't real
This is a lie
How each of us believes
I've never really known
In heaven unseen and hell unknown
How each of us dreams to understand anything at all
Why each of us decides
I've never been sure
The part we take
The way we are
Why each of us denies every other way in the world
However unsure
However unwise
Day after day play out our lives
However confused
Pretending to know to the end
But this isn't truth this isn't right
This isn't love this isn't life this isn't real
This is a lie
This isn't truth this isn't right
This isn't love this isn't life this isn't real
This is a lie
I called you after midnight
Then ran until I burst
I passed the howling woman
And stood outside your door
We walked around a lake
And woke up in the rain
And everyone turned over
Troubled in their dreams again
Visiting time is over
And so we walk away
And both play dead then cry out loud
Why we always cry this way?
I kissed you in the water
And made your dry lips sing
I saw you look
Like a Japanese baby
In an instant I remembered everything...
I called you after midnight
Then ran until my heart burst
I passed the howling woman
And stood outside your door
I kissed you in the water
And made your dry lips sing
I saw you look
Like a Japanese baby
In an instant I remembered everything..
I love it all
These games we play
I close my eyes
You run away
I'm sure I asked you to stay
But now you're gone
And so I feel the grey
Pulse in my head
I turn off the lights and crawl into bed
I try to think of sunshine
But my body goes wet
With the first crash of thunder...
I don't think I can know
Anyone but you dear
That's for sure!
When it gets to four
It's my turn to go
Oh the kiss!
So alcoholic and slow
Arranging me for Saturday
I thought you would know
That I always sleep alone...
I don't think I can know
Anyone but you
Dear
That's for sure!
The upstairs room is cool and bright
We can go up there in summer
And dance all night...
Your sister started talking at a minute after ten
So everyone jumped up
And then fell over again
In April you can join them
And stare at me
At the ghost from your past...
How time will heal
Make me forget
You promised me
Time will heal
Make me forget
You promised me
Love will save us all
And time will heal
You promised me...
How love will save
Make me forget
You promised me
Love will save
Make me forget
You promised me
Time will heal us all
And love will save
You promised me...
I trusted you
I wanted your words
Believed in you
I needed your words
Time will heal
make me forget
And love will save us all
You promised me another wish
Another way
You promised me another dream
Another day
You promised me another time
You promised me another life
You promised me..
So I swallowed the shame and I waited
I buried the blame and I waited
Choked back years of memories...
I pushed down the pain and I waited
Trying to forget...
You promised me another wish
Another way
You promised me another dream
Another day
You promised me another time
You promised me...
Another lie
Oh you promised me...
You promised me... You promised me...
And I waited... And I waited... And I waited...
And I'm still waiting...
You're such a strange girl
I think you come from another world
You're such a strange girl
I really don't understand a word
You're such a strange girl
I'd like to shake you around and around
You're such a strange girl
I'd like
To turn you
All upside down
You're such a strange girl
The way you look like you do
You're such a strange girl
I want to be with you
I think I'm falling
I think I'm falling in
I think I'm falling in love with you
With you
Side by side in silence
They pass away the day
So comfortable, so habitual...
And so nothing left to say
Nothing left to say
Nothing left to say
Side by side in silence
His thoughts echo round
He looks up at the sky...
She looks down at the ground
Stares down at the ground
Stares down at the ground
Side by side in silence
They wish for different worlds
She dreams him as a boy...
And he loves her as a girl
Loves her as a girl...
And side by side in silence
Without a single word...
It's the loudest sound
It's the loudest sound...
It's the loudest sound I ever heard
Nothing I am
Nothing I dream
Nothing is new
Nothing I think or believe in or say
Nothing is true
It used to be so easy
I never even tried
Yeah it used to be so easy...
But the last day of summer
Never felt so cold
The last day of summer
Never felt so old
Never felt so...
All that I have
All that I hold
All that is wrong
All that I feel for or trust in or love
All that is gone
It used to be so easy
I never even tried
Yeah it used to be so easy...
But the last day of summer
Never felt so cold
The last day of summer
Never felt so old
The last day of summer
Never felt so cold
Never felt so...
Kiss me kiss me kiss me!
Your tongue is like poison
So swollen it fills up my mouth
Love me love me love me!
You nail me to the floor
And push my guts all inside out
Get it out get it out get it out!
Get your fucking voice
Out of my head!
I never wanted this
I never wanted any of this
I wish you were dead
I wish you were dead
I never wanted any of this
I wish you were dead
Dead
Dead
Dead
I kneel and wait in silence
As one by one the people slip away
Into the night
The quiet and empty bodies
Kiss the ground before they pray
Kiss the ground
And slip away...
I sit and listen dreamlessly
A promise of salvation makes me stay
Then look at your face
And feel my heart pushed in
As all around the children play
The games they tired of yesterday
They play
I stand and hear my voice
Cry out
A wordless scream at ancient power
It breaks against stone
I softly leave you crying...
I cannot hold what you devour
The sacrifice of penance
In the holy hour
Two pale figures
Ache in silence
Timeless
In the quiet ground
Side by side
In age and sadness
I watched
And acted wordlessly
As piece by piece
You performed your story
Moving through an unknown past
Dancing at the funeral party
Memories of childrens' dreams
Lie lifeless
Fading
Lifeless
Hand in hand with fear and shadows
Crying at the funeral party
I heard a song
And turned away
As piece by piece
You performed your story
Noiselessly across the floor
Dancing at the funeral party
[Instrumental]
Go if you want to
I never try to stop you know there's a reason
For all of this you're feeling low
It's not my call
You couldn't ever love me more
You couldn't love me more
You couldn't love...
Me...
I don't show much
It's not that hard to hide you see in a moment
I cant remember how to be all you wanted
I couldn't ever love you more
I couldn't love you more
I couldn't love...
You want me to cry and play my part
I want you to sigh and fall apart
We want this like everyone else
Stay if you want to
I always wait to hear you say there's a last kiss
For all the times you run this way it's not my fault
You couldn't ever love me more
You couldn't love me more
You couldn't love...
I couldn't ever love you more
I couldn't love you more
I couldn't love...
You want me to lie not break your heart
I want you to fly not stop and start
We want us like everything else
Ooo-eee-ooo...
Ooo-eee-ooo...
Maybe we didn't understand
It's just the end of the world...
Ooo-eee-ooo... Ooo-eee-ooo...
Maybe we didnt understand
Not just a boy and a girl
It's just the end of the end of the world...
Me... I don't say much
It's far too hard to make you see in a moment
I still forget just how to be all you wanted
I couldn't ever love you more
I couldn't love you more
I couldn't love you more
I couldn't love you more
I couldn't love you more
As stiff as toys
And tall as men
And swaying like the wind torn trees
She talked about the empty world
With eyes like poisoned birds
She talked about the armies
That marched inside her head
And how they made her dreams go bad
But oh!
How happy she was!
How proud she was!
To be fighting in the war
In the empty world!
She stands twelve feet above the flood
She stares
Alone
Across the water
The loneliness grows and slowly
Fills her frozen body
Sliding downwards
One by one her senses die
The memories fade
And leave her eyes
Still seeing worlds that never were
And one by one the bright birds leave her...
Starting at the violent sound
She tries to turn
But final
Noiseless
Slips and strikes her soft dark head
The water bows
Receives her
And drowns her at its ease...
I would have left the world all bleeding
Could I only help you love
The fleeting shapes
So many years ago
So young and beautiful and brave
Everything was true
It couldn't be a story...
I wish it was all true
I wish it couldn't be a story
The words all left me
Lifeless
Hoping
Breathing like the drowning man
Oh Fucshia!
You leave me
Breathing like the drowning man
Breathing like the drowning man
You're too far away
Too far away to touch
And this mother's love inside me
Hurts too much
Prettily waving
Playing on the sand
Dreaming of everything
Dancing
Dancing in our hands
Dancing
Dancing
Dizzy dizzy dizzy
As I speak
Like a tumbling cat
I watch in fascination
Like a vampire bat
Don't do it don't do it
Don't do it don't do it
Don't give it away
We'll use it up tomorrow
If we don't use it today
Rest your head
Oh! just put it outside
All wrapped up in ribbons
The night
The dream
The time love died
We pushed it in our mouths
Pushed it deep inside
All wrapped up in ribbons
The night
The dream
The time
Love died
Flicka flicka flicka!
Here you are
Cata cata cata!
Caterpillar girl
Flowing in
And filling up my hopeless heart
Oh never never go
Dust my lemon lies
With powder pink and sweet
The day I stop
Is the day you change
And fly away from me
You flicker
And you're beautiful
You glow inside my head
You hold me hypnotized
I'm mesmerized...
Your flames
The flames that kiss me dead
Tomorrow I can start again
With back to earth and carry on
The same as I did yesterday
Yeah I'll pick it up once more
And morning I'll be onto it
From square one start
And push it for a bit
Like I do everyday...
I'll get it down for sure
But tonight I climb with you
Tonight
So high with you
Tonight I shine with you
Tonight
Oh I'm so alive with you
Tomorrow I'll begin again
With heavy head to hold it
As I do it all like yesterday
Yeah I'll break it out again
And morning I'll be there in time
For clock back move
And make it for awhile
To get through everyday...
I'll roll it out the same
But tonight I climb with you
Tonight
So high with you
Tonight I shine with you
Tonight I'm so alive...
With you it's always here and never there
With you it's always here and never where
With you it's always here and never how
With you it's always here and always now
Yeah tomorrow I will start again
With back to earth and carry on
The same as I did yesterday
Yeah I'll pick it up once more
And morning I'll be onto it
From square one start and "bit a for it push"
Like I do everyday...
I'll get it down for sure
But tonight I climb with you
Tonight
So high with you
Tonight I shine with you
Tonight
Midnight in the subway
She's on her way home
She tries hard not to run
But she feels she's not alone
Echoes of footsteps
Follow close behind
But she dare not turn around...
Turn around...
It started with a dedication
'lost in admiration - happy birthday - I'm forever yours - blossom'
Faded red inside a tiny book of butterflies
I smiled surprised at how when flickered through
The wings flew by spelled out my name...
Six months went by the summer lost
Obsessively the letters dropped into my life
The same soft blood smooth flowing hand
'please try to understand - I have to see you - have to feel you -
Tell you all the ways I need you - yours forever in love... '
Strange attraction spreads it's wings
It varies but the smallest things
You never know how anything will change
Strange attraction spreads it's wings
And alters but the smallest things
You never know how anything will fade
The year grew old incessantly she wrote to me
She'd started smoking poetry!
I laughed in recognition of a favourite phrase
She'd pulled me in...
I answered her
A christmas card in sepia
Arranging when and where
And how the two of us should meet...
Her opening so well prepared
A nervous smile
I couldn't take my eyes from her
She whispered
'can I use some of your lipstick?'
It was perfect so believable
I couldn't help but feel that it was real
And kissing crimson fell into her waiting arms...
Strange attraction spreads it's wings
It varies but the smallest things
You never know how anything will change
Strange attraction spreads it's wings
And alters but the smallest things
You never know how anything will fade
So alone into the cold new year without another word from her
I wrote to ask if we could maybe meet again before the spring
But weeks went by with no reply until once more my birthday came
And with it my surprise but this time nothing was the same...
'I'm sorry - blame infatuation - blame imagination -
I was sure you'd be the one but I was wrong -
It seems reality destroys our dreams - I won't forget you - blossom'
Faded red inside a tiny book of old goodbyes...
Strange attraction spreads it's wings
It varies but the smallest things
You never know how anything will change
Strange attraction spreads it's wings
And alters but the smallest things
And you never know...
It was only yesterday
Waving arms across the street
Your white face left me blue...
How can I say all the things
I have to say to you?
Oh! all the people here
All look the same...
The little time I spend with you
We drink each other dry
Mammnnarghaassstmmetc!
Speak my language!
It was only yesterday
My eyes touched yours across the street
We cut the words

This is stranger than I thought
Six different ways inside my heart
And every one I'll keep tonight
Six different ways go deep inside
I'll tell them anything at all
I know I'll give them more and more
I'll tell them anything at all
I know I'll give the world and more
They think I'm on my hands and head
This time they're much too slow
Six sides to every lie I say
It's that American voice again
'It was never quite like this before
Not one of you is the same... '
This is stranger than I thought
Six different ways inside my heart
And everyone I'll keep tonight
Six different ways go deep inside
You're just a waste of time
You're just a babbling face
You're just three sick holes that run like sores
You're a fucking waste
You're like a slug on the floor
Oh! you're useless and ugly
And useless and ugly
And I shiver and shake
When I think of how you make me hate
I want to smash you to pieces
I want to smash you up and screaming
I want to smash you helpless
Down on the floor
Smash you until you're not here anymore
And I shiver and shake
Shiver and shake
Time slips away
And the light begins to fade
And everything is quiet now
Feeling is gone
And the picture disappears
And everything is cold now
The dream had to end
The wish never came true
And the girl
Starts to sing
Seventeen seconds
A measure of life
Seventeen seconds
Secrets
Share with another girl
Talking all night in a room
All night
Everything slowing down
I wish I was yours...
Strangers
Nobody knows we love
I catch your eyes in the dark
One look relives the memory
Remember me
The way I used to be
When you screw up your eyes
When you screw up your face
When you throw out your arms
And keep changing your shape
Taste the taste in your mouth
Taste the taste on your tongue
On the film on your eyes of what I've become
What do I do when you screw up your eyes?
What do I do when you screw up your face?
What do I do
When you throw out your arms
Fall on the floor
And keep changing your shape?
Jump right into your mouth?
Jump around on your tongue?
And the film on your eyes of the way I've become
Makes me sick at the way that I try
Anything in the world
To impress that I'm doing this
Only for you
Shapes in the drink like Christ
Cracks in the pale blue wall
I'm walking slowly and quickly but
Always away
Twisting twisting to the floor
Flowers in your mouth and the same dry song
The routine from laughter land
Sixteen white legs and a row of teeth
They watch you in secrecy
You're dying for the hope is gone
From here we go nowhere again
I'm trapped in my face and I'm changing
Too much
I can't climb out the way I fell in
Jump with me
For that old forgotten dance
The midnight sun will burn you up
Your life is cold
Your life is hard
Your life is too much for words
These occasions are such a relief
Another point another view to send
Hey hey hey!
We start to talk
And it's all so safe...
I feed you in my dreams
Footsteps on a wire
High above my head
The stain reveals my real intention
I'm the waiting beast
I'm the twisted nerve
As I dance
Dance back to the body in my bed
Look at the piggy
Piggy in the mirror
Go go go!
Push him away
No no no!
Don't let him stay...
He gets inside to stare at her
The seeping mouth
The mouth that knows
The secret you
Always you
A smile to hide the fear away
Oh! smear this man across the walls
Like strawberries and cream
It's the only way to be
Exactly the same clean room
Exactly the same clean bed
But I've stayed away too long this time
And I've got too big to fit this time...
you shatter me
your grip on me
a hold on me
so dull it kills
you stifle me
infectious sense
of hopelessness and
prayers for rain
i suffocate
i breathe in dirt
and nowhere shines
but desolate
and drab the hours all spent
on killing time again
all waiting for
the rain
you fracture me
your hands on me
a touch so plain
so stale it kills
you strangle me
entangle me
in hopelessness and
prayers for rain
i deteriorate
i live in dirt
and nowhere glows
but drearily and tired
the hours all spent
on killing time again
all waiting for
the rain
A hand in my mouth
A life spills into the flowers
We all look so perfect
As we all fall down
In an electric glare
The old man cracks with age
She found his last picture
In the ashes of the fire
An image of the queen
Echoes round the sweating bed
Sour yellow sounds inside my head
In books
And films
And in life
And in heaven
The sound of slaughter
As your body turns
But it's too late
One more day like today and I'll kill you
A desire for flesh
And real blood
I'll watch you drown in the shower
Pushing my life through your open eyes
I must fight this sickness
Find a cure
I must fight this sickness...
It's not a case of doing what's right
It's just the way I feel that matters
Tell me I'm wrong
I don't really care
It's not a case of share and share alike
I take what I require
I don't understand...
You say it's not fair
You expect me to act
Like a lover
Consider my moves
And deserve the reward
To hold you in my arms
And wait...
For something to happen
It's not a case of telling the truth
Some lines just fit the situation
You call me a liar
You would anyway
It's not a case of aiming to please
You know you're always crying
It's just your part
In the play for today
Plastic passion is a hard to handle
Plastic passion is a sold out scandal
Oh! it's a plastic passion
Plastic passion is the ladies lover
Plastic passion is the marble mother
Oh! it's a plastic passion
Plastic passion is a diamond delight
Plastic passion is the nadir of night
Oh! it's a plastic passion
Plastic passion is a hycoscine heart
Plastic passion is a transparent tart
Oh! it's a plastic passion
Plastic passion is a gold guarantee
This plastic passion is murdering me
Oh! it's a plastic passion
Whisper your name in an empty room
You brush past my skin
As soft as fur
Taking hold
I taste your scent
Distant noises
Other voices
Pounding in my broken head
Commit the sin
Commit yourself
And all the other voices said
Change your mind
You're always wrong
Come around at Christmas
I really have to see you
Smile at me slyly
Another festive compromise
But I live with desertion
And eight million people
Distant noises
Other voices
Pulsing in my swinging arms
Caress the sound
So many dead
And all the other voices said
Change your mind
You're always wrong
I'd love to touch the sky tonight
I'd love to touch the sky
So take me in your arms
And lift me like a child
And hold me up so high
And never let me go
Take me
Take me in your arms tonight
Hold me
Hold me up so high
And never let me down
Hold me
Hold me up so high
To touch the sky
Just one more time
Take me in your arms tonight
Take me in your arms
Just one more time
Just one more time
Just one more time
i went into the butchers
i said wanted wanted wanted some...
meat
pass me some of that steak over there
it looks so...
sweet
i lost my heart to a meathook!
that butcher man was some...
lady
he really stole my heart
he hung me up on his meathook
a real piece of...
slaughterhouse art
i lost my heart to a meathook!
there's a meathook in my heart
tearing me all apart
ripping out my insides
but i just can't get away
i can't leave my
meathook
Movement
No movement
Just a falling bird
Cold as it hits the bleeding ground
He lived and died...
Catch sight
Cover me with earth
Draped in black
Static
White sound
A day without substance
A change of thought
An atmosphere that rots with time
Colours that flicker in water
A short term effect
Scream!
As she tries to push him over
Helpless and sick
With teeth of madness
Jump jump dance and sing
Sideways across the desert
A charcoal face
Bites my hand
Time is sweet
Derange and disengage everything
A day without substance
A change of thought
The atmosphere rots with time
Colours that flicker in water
A short term effect
An echo
And a stranger's hand
A short term effect
An echo
And a stranger's hand
A short term effect
Hello image
Sing me a line from your favourite song
Twist and turn
But you're trapped in the light
All the directions were wrong
You'll fall in love with somebody else
Tonight
Help yourself
But tell me the words
Before you fade away
You reveal all the secrets
To remember the end
And escape someday
You'll fall in love with somebody else
Again tonight
Take a step
You move in time
But it's always back ..
The reasons are clear
Your face is drawn
And ready for the next attack
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am home again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am whole again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am young again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am fun again
However far away
I will always love you
However long I stay
I will always love you
Whatever words I say
I will always love you
I will always love you
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am free again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am clean again
However far away
I will always love you
However long I stay
I will always love you
Whatever words I say
I will always love you
I will always love you
She walked out of her house
And looked around
At all the gardens that looked
Back at her house
(Like all the faces
That quiz when you smile... )
And he was standing
At the corner
Where the road turned dark
A part of shiny wet
Like blood the rain fell
Black down on the street
And kissed his feet she fell
Her head an inch away from heaven
And her face pressed tight
And all around the night sang out
Like cockatoos
'There are a thousand things' he said
'I'll never say those things to you again'
And turning on his heel
He left a trace of bubbles
Bleeding in his stead
And in her head
A picture of a boy who left her
Lonely in the rain
(And all around the night sang out
Like cockatoos)
[Instrumental]
( japanese whispers - track 7 ) [ midi ] [ print ] [ close ]
today there was a tragedy
underneath the bridge
a man walked
cold and blue
into la ment
the sky coloured perfect
as the man slipped away
waving with a last vanilla smile...
somewhere at a table
two drowned fools
smoking
drinking water as they talked
of how they loved our lady
and oh! the smell as candles die...
one more ice cream river body
flowed underneath the bridge
underneath the bridge
Standing on a beach
With a gun in my hand
Staring at the sea
Staring at the sand
Staring down the barrel
At the arab on the ground
See his open mouth
But hear no sound
I'm alive
I'm dead
I'm the stranger
Killing an arab
I can turn and walk away
Or I can fire the gun
Staring at the sky
Staring at the sun
Whichever I choose
It amounts to the same
Absolutely nothing
I'm alive
I'm dead
I'm the stranger
Killing an arab
Feel the steel butt jump
Smooth in my hand
Staring at the sea
Staring at the sand
Staring at myself
Reflected in the eyes of
The dead man on the beach
The dead man
On the beach
I'm alive
I'm dead
I'm the stranger
Killing an arab
Remember the time that you rained all night
The queen of Siam in my arms
Remember the time that the islands sank
But nobody opened their eyes
Remember that time that the trees fell down
The wood crashing through the wall
Remember the sound that could wake the dead
But nobody woke up at all
Somebody died for this
Somebody died for just one kiss
Remember the time that the sky went black
We waited alone on the sands
Remember the taste of the raging sea
But nobody held out their hands
Somebody died for this
Somebody died
For just one kiss
Just one kiss
Just one kiss
You wear your smile
Like it was going out of fashion
Dress to inflame
But douse any ideas of passion
You carry your love in a trinket
Hanging round your throat
Always inviting
Always exciting
But I must not take off my coat
Well I'm tired of hanging around
I want someone new
I'm not sure who I've got in mind
But I know
It's not you
You ask me questions
That I never wanted to hear
I am the only one
Just until you finish this year
I would murder you
If I had an alibi
Here in my hand
But you just laugh
Beause you don't understand
That I'm tired of hanging around
I want somebody new
I'm not sure
Who I've got in mind
But I know that it's not you
It's not you
It's not you
It's not you
Hate talking to people
Two people conversation
Listening to voices
Voices saying nothing
All been said before
It's all been said....before
Takes my arm around her
Listen what she says
Shameless I rise to my feet
Shameless I rise to my feet
Takes my life around her
Again and again and again
Seems to start confusion
???
It's all been said before
It's all been said before
It's all been said....before
I play at night in your house
I live another life
Pretending to swim
In your house
I change the time in your house
The hours I take
Go so slow...
I hear no sound in your house
Silence
In the empty rooms
I drown at night in your house
Pretending to swim
Pretending to swim
yesterday i got so old
i felt like i could die
yesterday i got so old
it made me want to cry
go on go on
just walk away
go on go on
your choice is made
go on go on
and disappear
go on go on
away from here
and i know i was wrong
when i said it was true
that it couldn't be me and be her
inbetween without you
without you
yesterday i got so scared
i shivered like a child
yesterday away from you
it froze me deep inside
come back come back
don't walk away
come back come back
come back today
come back come back
why can't you see?
come back come back
come back to me
and i know i was wrong
when i said it was true
that it couldn't be me and be her
inbetween without you
without you
If only tonight we could sleep
In a bed made of flowers
If only tonight we could fall
In a deathless spell
If only tonight we could slide
Into deep black water
And breathe
And breathe...
Then an angel would come
With burning eyes like stars
And bury us deep
In his velvet arms
And the rain would cry
As our faces slipped away
And the rain would cry
Don't let it end...
You're delicious
Dreaming
Slack jawed
Green eyed
Rub my nose in
Icing sugar
Smooth as
When this cold and deadly
Blade
Kisses the fruit
So soft
And gently breathing
Under your skin
Oh I'll empty you
I'll empty you
As empty as a boy can be
As empty
As a boy can be
Hey hey!
Just one more and I'll walk away
All the everything you win
Turns to nothing today
And I forget how to move
When my mouth is this dry
And my eyes are bursting hearts
In a blood-stained sky
Oh it was sweet
It was wild
And oh how we...
I trembled
Stuck in honey
Honey
Cling to me...
So just one more
Just one more go
Inspire in me the desire in me
To never go home
Oh just one more
And I'll walk away
All the everything you win
Turns to nothing today
So just one more
Just one more go
Inspire in me the desire in me
To never go home
when i see you sky as i kite
as high as i might
i can't get that high
the how you move
the way you burst the clouds
it makes me want to try
when i see you sticky as lips
as licky as trips
i can't lick that far
but when you pout
the way you shout out loud
it makes me want to start
and when i see you happy as a girl
that swims in a works of magic show
it makes me bite my fingers through
to think i could've let you go
and when i see you
take the same sweet steps
you used to take
i say i'll keep holding you
my arms so tight
i'll never let you slip away
and when i see you kitten as a cat
yeah as smitten as that
i can't get that small
the way you fur
the how you purr
it makes me want to paw you all
and when i see you happy as a girl
that lives in a world of make-believe
it makes me pull my hair all out
to think i could've let you leave
and when i see you
take the same sweet steps
you used to take
i know i'll keep on holding you
in arms so tight
they'll never let you go
No light

Everything's coming to a grinding halt

I'm going nowhere
Don't look so scared
I'm going nowhere
So tell me that you love me again
Tell me that you care
So tell me that you love me again
Yeah I'm going nowhere
Don't look so scared
I'm going nowhere
Could be
Could be
Could be
I'm already there
You know you're a cute little heart-breaker
You know you're a sweet little love-maker
I want to take you home
I won't do you no harm
You've got to be all mine
All mine
I see you come down on the scene, Foxy
You make me want to get up and scream, Foxy
I've made up my mind
I'm tired of wasting all my precious time
You've got to be all mine
All mine
Slowly fading blue
The eastern hollows catch
The dying sun
Night time follows
Silent and black
Mirror pool mirrors
The lonely place
Where I meet you
See your head
In the fading light
And through the dark
Your eyes shine bright
And burn like fire
Burn like fire in Cairo
Burn like fire
Burn like fire in Cairo
Shifting crimson veil
Silken hips slide
Under my hand
Swollen lips whisper my name
And I yearn
You take me in your arms
And start to burn
F.I.R.E.I.N.C.A.I.R.O
Then the heat disappears
And the mirage
Fades away...
F.I.R.E.I.N.C.A.I.R.O
Burn like a fire in Cairo
Burn like a fire
Blaze like a fire in Cairo
Blaze like a fire
Flare with a wonderful light
Like a fire in Cairo
Burn like fire
Burn like
Fire in Cairo
The Sharp and open
Leave me alone
And sleeping less every night
As the days become heavier and weighted
Waiting
In the cold light
A noise
A scream tears my clothes as the figurines tighten
With spiders inside them
And dust on the lips of a vision of hell
I laughed in the mirror for the first time in a year
A hundred other words blind me with your purity
Like an old painted doll in the throes of dance
I think about tomorrow
Please let me sleep
As I slip down the window
Freshly squashed fly
You mean nothing
You mean nothing
I can lose myself in Chinese art and American girls
All the time
Lose me in the dark
Please do it right
Run into the night
I will lose myself tomorrow
Crimson pain
My heart explodes
My memory in a fire
And someone will listen
At least for a short while
I can never say no to anyone but you
Too many secrets
Too many lies
Writhing with hatred
Too many secrets
Please make it good tonight
But the same image haunts me
In sequence
In despair of time
I will never be clean again
I touched her eyes
Pressed my stained face
I will never be clean again
Touch her eyes
Press my stained face
I will never be clean again
I will never be clean again
I will never be clean again
I will never be clean again
When I see you sky as a kite
As high as I might
I can't get that high
The how you move
The way you burst the clouds
It makes me want to try
When I see you sticky as lips
As licky as trips
I can't lick that far
But when you pout
The way you shout out loud
It makes me want to start
And when I see you happy as a girl
That swims in a world of magic show
It makes me bite my fingers through
To think I could've let you go
And when I see you
Take the same sweet steps
You used to take
I say I'll keep on holding you
My arms so tight
I'll never let you slip away
And when I see you kitten as a cat
Yeah as smitten as that
I can't get that small
Tthe way you fur
The how you purr
It makes me want to paw you all
And when I see you happy as a girl
That lives in a world of make-believe
It makes me pull my hair all out
To think I could've let you leave
And when I see you
Take the same sweet steps
You used to take
I know I'll keep on holding you
In arms so tight
They'll never let you go
I can't fly I never really could
I don't feel you ever really understood at all
I can't fly I never really could
I just throw my arms out as I fall
Always say you know me, you you don't know me at all
Only want to hold me, but I'm not here to hold
Always say you know me, but you don't know me at all
Only want to show me, but I'm not yours to show, no no no
I don't dream I never really did
Don't believe you ever really took this into good
No I don't dream I never really did
I just wake up, make up as I should
No I don't dream
No I don't dream
No I don't dream
I wont see I never really would
I don't sense you ever realised it right
No I wont see I never really would
I just roll my eyes up out of sight
Always say you know me, you you don't know me at all
Only want to hold me, but I'm not here to hold
Always say you know me, but you don't know me at all
Only want to show me, but I'm not yours to show
I can't ever come back, If I never go
I don't ever explain, if I never know
I won't ever take it, if I never give
And if I never live, if I never live, if I never live
Catch me if I fall
I'm losing hold
I can't just carry on this way
And every time
I turn away
I lose another blind game
The idea of perfection holds me
Suddendly I see you change
Everything at once
The same
But the mountain never moves
You rape me like a child
Christened in blood
Painted like an unknow saint
There's nothing left but hope
Your voice is dead
And old
And always empty
Trust in me through closing years
'Cause perfect moments wait
If only we could stay
Please
Say the right words
Or cry like the stone white clown
And stand
Lost forever in a happy crowd
No one lifts their hands
No one lifts their eyes
You justified with every word
The party just gets better and better
I went away alone
With nothing left
But faith
It makes me think I would dare this.
It makes me think I would dare this.
Someone walks up to you and is so much bigger than you and says : "Shut your fucking face !".
You can garb hold their eyes and go, and they will fall down in front of you, fall down in front of you.
But it's so much different if a man walks up and he's this high...
He says : "Shut your fucking face !"
And holds a gun to my mouth.
What will I do ? What will I do ?
What would you do ?
He won't let me speak, he says : "You can only say the word -YES-.
If I ask you a question you say -NO-
I shoot the back of your fucking head". He says : "Do you love me ?
Do you love me ?"
I'll say, I'll say......... I'll say...
He's this small, this far away. He says : "I'm fucking waiting for your answer. Answer me now ! Do you love me ? Do you love me ?"
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahouuuuuuuuuhhh ! I SAY NO !
'Cause I fucking don't love you ! 'Cause I fucking don't love you !
Walk into the room, push anything in my face, anything in my mouth !
I'll never fucking love you !
And push this deep inside your head.
And push this deep inside your head.
This means nothing, means nothing !
There's nothing left but faith.
There's nothing left but faith.
There's nothing left but faith.
There's nothing left but faith...
Thank you very much and good night.
And don't forget.
Good night.
I think I've reached that point
Where giving up and going on
Are both the same dead end to me
Are both the same old song
I think I've reached that point
Where every wish has come true
And tired disguised oblivion
Is everything I do
Please stop loving me
Please stop loving me
I am none of these things
I think I've reached that point
Where all the things you have to say
And hopes for something more from me
Are just games to pass the time away
Please stop loving me
Please stop loving me
I am none of these things
I think I've reached that point
Where every word that you write
Of every blood dark sea
And every soul black night
And every dream you dream me in
And every perfect free from sin
And burning eyes
And hearts on fire
Are just the same old song
Please stop loving me
Please stop loving me
I am none of these things
I am none of these things
I am none of these things
Oh I miss the kiss of treachery
The shameless kiss of vanity
The soft and the black and the velvety
Up tight against the side of me
And mouth and eyes and heart all bleed
And run in thickening streams of greed
As bit by bit it starts the need
To just let go
My party piece
Oh I miss the kiss of treachery
The aching kiss before I feed
The stench of a love for a younger meat
And the sound that it makes
When it cuts in deep
The holding up on bended knees
The addiction of duplicities
As bit by bit it starts the need
To just let go
My party piece
But I never said I would stay to the end
So I leave you with babies and hoping for frequency
Screaming like this in the hope of the secrecy
Screaming me over and over and over
I leave you with photographs
Pictures of trickery
Stains on the carpet and
Stains on the scenery
Songs about happiness murmured in dreams
When we both us knew
How the ending would be...
So it's all come back round to breaking apart again
Breaking apart like I'm made up of glass again
Making it up behind my back again
Holding my breath for the fear of sleep again
Holding it up behind my head again
Cut in deep to the heart of the bone again
Round and round and round
And it's coming apart again
Over and over and over
Now that I know that I'm breaking to pieces
I'll pull out my heart
And I'll feed it to anyone
Crying for sympathy
Crocodiles cry for the love of the crowd
And the three cheers from everyone
Dropping through sky
Through the glass of the roof
Through the roof of your mouth
Through the mouth of your eye
Through the eye of the needle
It's easier for me to get closer to heaven
Than ever feel whole again
I never said I would stay to the end
I knew I would leave you with babies and everything
Screaming like this in the hole of sincerity
Screaming me over and over and over
I leave you with photographs
Pictures of trickery
Stains on the carpet and
Stains on the memory
Songs about happiness murmured in dreams
When we both of us knew
How the end always is
How the end always is...
If only you'd never speak like that
the way that you do
if only you'd never speak like that
it's like listening to
a breaking heart
friendships die
fires go out
all these lies
i wish you felt the way that i still do
the way that i still do
i wish you didn't look like that
the way that you do
if only you'd never look like that
when i look at you
a face of (hate?)
eyes like ice
and mouth so sweetly telling lies
i wish you felt the way that i still do
the way that i still do
but you don't
you don't feel anymore
you don't care anymore
it's all gone
if you'd never talk like that
the way that you do
if only you'd wouldn't speak like that
it's like listening to
fires go out
friendships die
mouth so sweetly telling lies
i wish you felt the way that i still do
the way that i still do
but you don't
you don't feel anymore
you don't care anymore
it's all gone
it's all gone
it's all...
remember the way that the dream could come true
it's all up to you
remember the way that the dream could come true
just pull
it's all up to you
just push
You're begging me to stay
But I'm laughing in your face
You're so desperate
Not to let those years of care
All go to waste
But it was you who wanted love
Not romance
You have to pay the price
My body may be made of fire
But my soul is made of ice
I'm me
I'm cold
I'm cold
I'm told
I'd love to love you girl
But my body has just been sold
I've waited hours for this
I've made myself so sick
I wish I'd stayed asleep today
I never thought this day would end
I never thought tonight could ever be
This close to me
Just try to see in the dark
Just try to make it work
To feel the fear before you're here
I make the shapes come much too close
I pull my eyes out
Hold my breath
And wait until I shake...
But if I had your faith
Then I could make it safe and clean
If only I was sure
That my head on the door was a dream
I've waited hours for this
I've made myself so sick
I wish I'd stayed asleep today
I never thought this day would end
I never thought tonight could ever be
This close to me
But if I had your face
I could make it safe and clean
If only I was sure
That my head on the door
Was a dream
I would say I'm sorry
If I thought that it would change your mind
But I know that this time
I have said too much
Been too unkind
I try to laugh about it
Cover it all up with lies
I try and laugh about it
Hiding the tears in my eyes
Because boys don't cry
Boys don't cry
I would break down at your feet
And beg forgiveness
Plead with you
But I know that it's too late
And now there's nothing I can do
So I try to laugh about it
Cover it all up with lies
I try to laugh about it
Hiding the tears in my eyes
Because boys don't cry
I would tell you
That I loved you
If I thought that you would stay
But I know that it's no use
That you've already
Gone away
Misjudged your limit
Pushed you too far
Took you for granted
I thought that you needed me more
Now I would do most anything
To get you back by my side
But I just keep on laughing
Hiding the tears in my eyes
Because boys don't cry
Boys don't cry
Boys don't cry
Sunk deep in the night
I sink in the night
Standing alone underneath the sky
I feel the chill of ice
On my face
I watch the hours go by
The hours go by...
You sleep
Sleep in a safe bed
Curled and protected
Protected from sight
Under a safe roof
Deep in your house
Unaware of the changes at night
At night
I hear the darkness breathe
I sense the quiet despair
Listen to the silence
At night
Someone has to be there
Someone has to be there
Someone must be there
Say goodbye on a night like this
If it's the last thing we ever do
You never looked as lost as this
Sometimes it doesn't even look like you
It goes dark
It goes darker still
Please stay
But I watch you like I'm made of stone
As you walk away...
I'm coming to find you if it takes me all night
A witch hunt for another girl
For always and ever is always for you
Your trust
The most gorgeously stupid thing I ever cut in the world
Say hello on a day like today
Say it everytime you move
The way that you look at me now
Makes me wish I was you
It goes deep
It goes deeper still
This touch
And the smile and the shake of your head...
I'm coming to find you if it takes me all night
Can't stand here like this anymore
For always and ever is always for you
I want it to be perfect
Like before...
I want to change it all
I want to change
The sun rises slowly
On another day
The eastern sky grows cold
Winter in water colours
Shades of grey
Something
Something holds me hypnotized...
I stare at the window
Stare at the window
Waiting for the day to go
Winter in water colours
Shades of grey
Tonight I'm feeling like an animal
Tonight I'm howling inside
Tonight I'm feeling like an animal
Tonight I'm going wild
And all I want is to be with you again
And all I want is to hold you like a dog
And all I want is to be with you again
With you again
Just to hold you like a dog
Tonight I'm screaming like an animal
Tonight I'm losing control
Tonight I'm screaming like an animal
Tonight I'm getting so low
And all I want is to be with you again
And all I want is to hold you like a dog
And all I want is to be with you again
With you again
Just to hold you like a dog
That's all I want
AI never thought that I would find myself
In bed amongst the stones
The columns are all men
Begging to crush me
No shapes sail on the dark deep lakes
And no flags wave me home
In the caves
All cats are grey
In the caves
The textures coat my skin
In the death cell
A single note
Rings on and on and on...
We sit in the same room
Side by side
I give you the wrong lines
Feed you
Look into my eyes
We both smile
I could kill you
Without trying
That's accuracy
Practice all day for accuracy
Mirror mirror on the wall...
For how much longer can I howl into this wind?
For how much longer
Can I cry like this?
A thousand wasted hours a day
Just to feel my heart for a second
A thousand hours just thrown away
Just to feel my heart for a second
For how much longer can I howl into this wind?
Give me your eyes
That I might see the blind man kissing my hands
The sun is humming
My head turns to dust as he plays on his knees
And the sand
And the sea grows
I close my eyes
Move slowly through drowning waves
Going away on a strange day
And I laugh as I drift in the wind
Blind
Dancing on a beach of stone
Cherish the faces as they wait for the end
A sudden hush across the water
And we're here again...
And the sand
And the sea grows
I close my eyes
Move slowly through drowning waves
Going away
On a strange day
My head falls backs
And the walls crash down
And the sky
And the impossible
Explode
Held for one moment I remember a song
An impression of sound
Then everything is gone
Forever
A strange day...
Again I hear a voice
Her voice calling my name
Write the song and call in the beach
And you hear her call
A rose some call it
And watch the sun come up from the edge of the deep green sea
She called my name
And faith
Saying
The stone white clown still laughing after all these years
Some people I'd like to meet
Everytime you take the way to bring me a smile
Never look away from you
In everyway I take the way that you smile
And never look away from you
There's only a picture of her
Fuschia rests inside my heart
Just with a picture of her
Just with a picture of her
And write a letter to Elise
And you know she'll never write back in a a hundred years
Can't touch the idol
The siamese twins of fire
Figurehead girl
IT ALL SITS INSIDE OF ME
Just sits inside of me
Just sits inside of me
A place we can go
There's a place we can go
There's a place we can go
There's a place we can go
There's a place we can go
Take me there
Take me there
Take me there
Take me there
Take me there.
Come closer and see
See into the trees
Find the girl
If you can
Come closer and see
See into the dark
Just follow your eyes
Just follow your eyes
I hear her voice
Calling my name
The sound is deep
In the dark
I hear her voice
And start to run
Into the trees
Into the trees
Into the trees
Suddenly I stop
But I know it's too late
I'm lost in a forest
All alone
The girl was never there
It's always the same
I'm running towards nothing
Again and again and again and again
She said "could you take me home tonight?
It's the only way I know."
She said "could you take me home tonight?
There's no other way I know."
She said "you know the way you used to do."
"Of course I'll take you home."
"You know the way you used to do."
"Of course I'll take you home."
This kiss could cost my life.
Is all you see in her eyes.
This kiss could cost my life.
Is all you see in her eyes.
It's all you see in her eyes.
She said "Take my hand, take me home."
She said "Take my hand, take me home.
Take me home.
Take me home.

Golden midnight taking us across the water
(line...sounds vaguely like 'holy love sing we're falling close in every other')
As dawn breaks i wonder
Sun's growing cold
Ours is not to wonder
To never grow old
To never grow old
Oh ariel i (it?) will always feel right out here
(nearly unintelligible line)
Sister & brother
Never loved each other like this
(line)
And never fall
You never fall
Ariel
He waits for her to understand
But she won't understand at all
She waits all night for him to call
But he won't call anymore
He waits to hear her say
'Forgive'
But she justs drops her pearl-black eyes
And prays to hear him say
'I love you'
But he tells no more lies
He waits for her to sympathize
But she won't sympathize at all
She waits all night to feel his kiss
But always wakes alone
He waits to hear her say
'Forget'
But she just hangs her head in pain
And prays to hear him say
'No more
I'll never leave again'
How did we get this far apart?
We used to be so close together
How did we get this far apart?
I thought this love would last for ever
He waits for her to understand
But she won't understand at all
She waits all night for him to call
But he won't call
He waits to hear her say
'Forgive'
But she just drops her pearl black eyes
And prays to hear him say
'I love you'
But he tells no more lies
How did we get this far apart?
We used to be so close together
How did we get this far apart?
I thought this love would last for ever
[Instrumental]
Yeah it's a big bright beautiful world
Just the other side of the door
Six billion beautiful faces
But I saw them all before...
No this is not about running out on you
Not a case of right or wrong
It's only that it's over and done for me
It's already been and gone
And I don't want another go around - I don't want to start again
No I don't want another go around - I want this to be the end
I want this to be the end - I don't want to start again
I want this to be the last thing we do
It for me and you...
For all my dreams came true
Yeah I know I should care if you come with me
Yeah and I should care if you go
Really should care about your love or your hate of me
Yeah I should care... but I don't
And it's not about giving up on you
It's not a case of do or die
It's simply that it's over and out for me
There's no more room inside
And I don't want another run around - I don't want to start again
No I don't want another run around - I want this to be the end
I want this to be the end - I don't want to start again
I want this to be the last thing we do
It for me and you...
Yeah it's a big bright beautiful world out there
Just the other side of this door
Six billion beautiful faces await
But I saw it all before...
No this is not about running out on you
Not a case of right or wrong
It's only that it's over and done for me
It's already been and gone
And I don't want another go around - I don't want to start again
No I don't want another go around - I want this to be the end
I want this to be the end - I don't want to start again
I want this to be the last thing we do - this to be it for me and you
This to be the last we go through
this to be the end
For all my dreams came true
All I Have To Do Is Kill myself
Pulling this watch as faces go
Pulling in a word and done it slow this other time
I see your face is silent
Oh, we go away and play
What have you done
Takes a feeling inside us all
Continue out with just one push in my mouth
But you're so close now
And you're so close now
All I have to do is three short blows
All that still is best inside
The full when the wall
And you don't even know
And the other faces here with me
The others dressed in summers thing
If only one way is to be beautiful
If only one way is to the other song
And every time it's you, it's like the blood on the stairs is sent away
And every time we see it's all said before you
If only the ways to kill you
You used to say this fear of drowning
Fear no death by water
Father walks in at the foot of the bed
Six of you want to see you safe
Just one time you'll meet this man
All you've got to do is kill her
And all you've got to do is kill her
Trickle the sands against and pull the animals
Just out of the womb
Seeing the cow dead before he was born
It's the man he, he loved
The solid pieces fell on the ground
He couldn't kill another life
He couldn't kill another life
He couldn't kill another life
It's all been painted with love
It could have been some friends
Pulling strings to meet you
All I want to do is reach it
She says 'Let go my shoulder!'
See the sky!
And the sky goes black
And the sky goes black
I just want to feel her
I just want to feel her
I just want you to feel it
I just want you to feel it
Everytime I looked up the stairs
I used to see her die
She would move so slow
Anyone could've been but she was a cat
Anyone could've been she was a cat
Pulling away as I used to fight
That's just playing so low
That ugly or pretty
The face stays the same
Her face stays the same
Her face stays the same
The ugly or pretty
Her face stays the same, stays the same, stays the same
And looking on the final walls
And looking on the final walls
Did you now find this malice out
The angels fall
Let's make some more ('noise'?)
Let's make some more ('noise'?)
Help me be your mother for just one day
Let's fall in churches far outside
They used to love They used to love...
I never thought that I would find myself
In bed amongst the stones
The columns are all men
Begging to crush me
No shapes sail on the dark deep lakes
And no flags wave me home
In the caves
All cats are grey
In the caves
The textures coat my skin
In the death cell
A single note
Rings on and on and on
He breaks the spell still young
Awakes from out this dream of life
And leaves us sleeping
Storm racked blind consumed
By phantom pale displays of grief
He slips from out this shadow land of pain
Where heads grow sorrow grey
And age destroys all hope
And spirits crushed
Lament and hide away
But wordless watch the soft sky smile
And breathless hear the low wind sigh
'what death may join no more let life divide'
'dream yourself awake' he calls
'eternity awaits us all
Open your eyes and be with me
Be with me... '
He breaks the chains still young
Dispels the hateful shades of treacherous time
And leaves us sleeping
Tortured mute
Devoured by ghostly shapes of life
He slips from ties of dust
To be the world we dream he lives
A part of everything we feel
The young and beautiful
And brave of heart
But wordless watch the soft sky smile
And breathless hear the low wind sigh
'what death may join no more let life divide'
'dream yourself awake' he calls
'eternity awaits us all
Open your eyes and be with me
Be with me... '
'dream yourself awake' he calls
'eternity awaits us all
Open your eyes and be with me
Forever... '
You know iåm sorry if you misunderstood
But your confusion is a bit overdone
I was only in to do it good
I was only in to have some fun
I went out of my way to get this bad
And you still don't get how far
But now iåm back! iåm new!
And it's a wonderful thing
But you still donåt get how things are...
Not superstition - iåm talking hideous kinky
No not religion - iåm talking serious oobe
Not science fiction - iåm talking horrible freaky
Yeah all the stuff you donåt believe in
Well that stuff is for real
Got myself a change of life
Got myself a change of style
Got myself a new direction
Got myself a reason why
I just fell right out of my face one day
And I took it as a sign from god
And now I'm feeling good
And I'm moving up
And I've got to do it now
Yeah iåm sorry if you misunderstood
But your condition is a touch overplayed
I was only in to do it good
I was only in to get it made
I went way out of my way to get this bad
And you still donåt get how far
And now iåm back! iåm new!
And it's a wonderful thing
But you still donåt get how things are...
Not superstition - iåm talking hideous kinky
No not religion - iåm talking serious oobe
Not science fiction - iåm talking horrible freaky
Yeah all the stuff you donåt imagine
Well itås happening to me
Got myself a change of life
Got myself a change of style
Got myself a new direction
Got myself a reason why
I just fell right out of my face one day
And I took it as a sign from god
Rio sunrise sucking on a straw
I rub my head and stagger out the door
And head into the bright new beautiful day
And the way she pulls me in
Sucks my breath away
I asked her for some time
And she just made me it
I asked her maybe why?
And she just gave me it
Never smile
Never stare
She doesn't seem to care at all
Never cry
Never scream
She doesn't really seem to need me at all...
Fourteen weeks I stay away from home
A hundred days a part of me unknown
Apart in pink and perfect moments play
And as a wonder of the world
She sucks my breath away
I asked her for some time
And she just made me it
I asked her maybe why?
And she just gave me it
So I asked her could be heaven?
And she just prayed me it...
She didn't want to know my name
She didn't want to know how long we had together
Spending time as if tomorrow never comes
I didn't want to know the end
I didn't want to go but slowly found me home again
And slow again tomorrow comes
But it was all so far away
And so long ago
I hardly ever think about her anymore
Except sometimes when the summer twilight breeze
Carries me the scent of faraway rain
I remember...
And she still sucks my breath away
I woke up at seven and my body was vibrating
I was wrapped up in a blanket
I was grey
Damp and sore
The bedroom was an engine and my heartbeat was erratic
(Like I think I'm at the racing
Like the night before)
I remember one girl standing
One was sitting on the ground
One was holding me up
The other pulling me down
And I couldn't decide which one was real
Because there wasn't a sound
(Like I was pregnant again... )
'Don't move don't blink don't think don't even breathe' she said
'Or the photograph will spoil
And cut you off at the head'
So I was sucking
I was sucking like a fat lady would
But I couldn't hold it down another second
(Bleagh!)
'Don't twitch don't shout don't think don't even breathe' she said
'Or the photograph will spoil and cut you off at the head'
So I was sweating
I was sweating like a fat lady would...
And I woke up
With a man inside my mouth
(This won't hurt at all... )
Yeah
I know who you remind me of
a girl I think I used to know
Yeah
I'd see her when the days got colder
On those days when it felt like snow.
You know
I even think that she stared like you
She used to iust stand there and stare
And rolled her eyes right up to heaven
And make like I just wasn't there.
And she used to fall down a lot
That girl was always falling again and again
And I used to sometimes try to catch her
but never even caught her name.
Sometimes we would spend the night
just rolling about on a floor
And I remember even though it felt soft at the time
I always used to wake up sore.
You know I even think that she smiled like you
She used to just stand there and smile
And her eyes would go all sort of far away
And stay like that for quite a while.
And I remember she used to fall down a lot
That girl was always falling again and again
And I used to sometimes try to catch her
but never even caught her name
I sometimes even tried to catch her
but never even cought her name.
Please wake up
It's so dark and cold
Please wake up
I feel so alone
And I feel so scared
That you're going away
And I feel so scared...
All I want is summer
Stories from before
Just like the day you tried to hide
Behind the churchyard wall
And fell asleep before I came
I found you
In a chain of flowers
Sleeping like a marble girl
Sleeping in another world...
I'll never tell you
Of all the different ways
You make me so afraid...
So the fire is almost out and there's nothing left to burn
I've run right out of thoughts and I've run right out of words
As I used them up, I used them up...
Yeah the fire is almost cold and there's nothing left to burn
I've run right out of feeling and I've run right out of world
And everything I promised, and everything I tried
Yeah everything I ever did I used to feed the fire
I used to feed the fire
I used to feed the fire
I used to feed the fire
But the fire is almost out is almost out...
And there's nothing left to burn
No there's nothing left to burn
Not even this...
And the fire is almost dead and there's nothing left to burn
I've finished everything...
And all the things I promised, and all the things I tried
Yeah all the things I ever dreamed I used to feed the fire
I used to feed the fire
I used to feed the fire
I used to feed the fire
But the fire is almost out...
Half my life I've been here
Half my life in flames
Using all I ever had to keep the fire ablaze
To keep the fire ablaze
To keep the fire ablaze
To keep the fire ablaze...
But there's nothing left to burn
No there's nothing left to burn
And the fire is almost out
The fire is almost out
Yeah the fire is almost out
Almost out, almost out
Almost out, almost out...
And there's nothing left to burn
So I'll wait for you
Where I always wait
Behind the signs that sell the news
I'll watch for you like yesterday
And hope for you
One day that once
Spent out on me
And up 'til late
I search for you
Your hat pushed straight
Away from me
Your measured step
Heads up you win
Always too late
If I could just once catch your eye
Invisible against the words
That hold you down in solitude
And never let you go
The way that every time
My eyes just close
Like lids of wooden men in file
I put you under rainy day
Your hat's all off
And I'm gone away...
Show me, show me, show me how you do that trick,The one that makes me scream
she said.
The one that makes me laugh
she said
And threw her arms around my neck.
Show me how you do it and I promise you,I promise that I'll run away with you, I'll run away with you.Spinning on that dizzy edge I kissed her face and kissed her head,And dream of all the different ways I had to make her glow.
Why are you so far away?" She said.
Why wan't you ever know that I'm in love with you,That I'm in love with you.
You - soft and only
you lost and lonely
You - strange as angels
dancing in the deepest oceans
Twisting in the water
you're just like a dream
just like a dream.
Daylight licked me into shape
I must have been asleep for days
And moving lips to breathe her name
I opened up my eyes
And found myself alone
alone
alone above a raging sea
That stole the only girl I loved
and drownded her deep inside of me.
You - soft and only
you - lost and lonely
you - just like heaven!
Far away
Far away child
Turn your eyes
Far away child
I will sleep
Right down beside you
Tonight
I will sleep
Tonight
Pirate ships
Pirate ships child
Merry and bold
Sparkling and rich child
Coming to dock
Right at your feet
Tonight
Coming to dock
Tonight
In the stars
In the stars child
See the people
In the stars child
They will sail
Right through your window
Tonight
Into your window
Tonight
Far away
Far away child
Turn your eyes
Far away child
I will sleep
Right down beside you
Tonight
I will sleep
Tonight
I will sleep
Tonight
I've been looking so long at these pictures of you
That I almost believe that they're real
I've been living so long with my pictures of you
That I almost believe that the pictures are
All I can feel
Remembering
You standing quiet in the rain
As I ran to your heart to be near
And we kissed as the sky fell in
Holding you close
How I always held close in your fear
Remembering
You running soft through the night
You were bigger and brighter and wider than snow
And screamed at the make-believe
Screamed at the sky
And you finally found all your courage
To let it all go
Remembering
You fallen into my arms
Crying for the death of your heart
You were stone white
So delicate
Lost in the cold
You were always so lost in the dark
Remembering
You how you used to be
Slow drowned
You were angels
So much more than everything
Hold for the last time then slip away quietly
Open my eyes
But I never see anything
If only I'd thought of the right words
I could have held on to your heart
If only I'd thought of the right words
I wouldn't be breaking apart
All my pictures of you
Looking so long at these pictures of you
But I never hold on to your heart
Looking so long for the words to be true
But always just breaking apart
My pictures of you
There was nothing in the world
That I ever wanted more
Than to feel you deep in my heart
There was nothing in the world
That I ever wanted more
Than to never feel the breaking apart
All my pictures of you
I can't find myself
I can't find myself
I can't find myself
I can't find myself
In the head of this stranger in love
Holding on given up
To another under faded setting sun
And I wonder where I am...
Could she run away with him?
So happy and so young
And I stare
As I sing in the lost voice of a stranger in love
Out of time letting go
In another world that spins around for fun
And I wonder where I am...
Could he ever ask her why?
So happy and so young...
And I stare... But...
I can't find myself
I can't find myself
I can't find myself
I can't find myself
In the heart of this stranger in love
Holding on given up
To this other under faded setting sun
And I'm not sure where I am...
Would he really turn away?
So happy and so young...
And I stare...
As I play out the passion of a stranger in love
Letting go of the time
In this other world that spins around for one
And I'm not sure where I am...
Would she know it was a lie?
So happy and so young...
And I stare... But...
I can't find myself
I can't find myself
I can't find myself
I can't find myself
In the soul of this stranger in love
No control over one
To the other under faded setting sun
And I don't know where I am...
Should he beg her to forgive?
So happy and so young...
And I stare...
As I live out the story of a stranger in love
Waking up going on
In the other world that spins around undone
And I don't know where I am...
Should she really say goodbye?
So happy and so young
And I stare... But...
I can't find myself
I can't find myself
I can't find myself
I can't find myself
I got lost in someone else.
A year ago today we stood
Above this same awakening world
I held you...
You never wanted me to know
Another year ago today
Before this same awakening world
I held you...
I never meant to let you go
There was a moment
There always is
When time stood still
And always was this...
One endless moment
You turn in pain
And I always let you go
Over and over again...
A year ago tonight we lay
Below this same remembering sky
I kissed you
You never wanted me to know...
Another year ago tonight
Behind this same remembering sky
I kissed you...
I never meant to let you go
Another moment
There always is
As time stands still
and always is this...
One endless moment
You tell me all
And I hold you and I kiss you
And I never let you go
I never let you go...
Yeah it's a big bright beautiful world
Just the other side of the door
Six billion beautiful faces
But I saw them all before...
No this is not about running out on you
Not a case of right or wrong
It's only that it's over and done for me
It's already been and gone
And I don't want another go around - I don't want to start again
No I don't want another go around - I want this to be the end
I want this to be the end - I don't want to start again
I want this to be the last thing we do
It for me and you...
For all my dreams came true
Yeah I know I should care if you come with me
Yeah and I should care if you go
Really should care about your love or your hate of me
Yeah I should care... but I don't
And it's not about giving up on you
It's not a case of do or die
It's simply that it's over and out for me
There's no more room inside
And I don't want another run around - I don't want to start again
No I don't want another run around - I want this to be the end
I want this to be the end - I don't want to start again
I want this to be the last thing we do
It for me and you...
Yeah it's a big bright beautiful world out there
Just the other side of this door
Six billion beautiful faces await
But I saw it all before...
No this is not about running out on you
Not a case of right or wrong
It's only that it's over and done for me
It's already been and gone
And I don't want another go around - I don't want to start again
No I don't want another go around - I want this to be the end
I want this to be the end - I don't want to start again
I want this to be the last thing we do - this to be it for me and you
This to be the last we go through
this to be the end
For all my dreams came true
I don't know what's going on
I am so up close to you
I don't know what's going on
I don't know what's going on
I am so confused by you
I don't know what's going on
No don't say anymore
To me at all
To me at all
No don't say more
To me at all
To me at all
I am so in love with you...
with you... with you...
I am so in love with you...
With you... with you...
I don't know what's going on
I am so in deep with you
I don't know what's going on
I don't know what's going on
I am so disturbed by you
No don't say anymore
To me at all
To me at all
No don't say more
To me at all
To me at all
I am so in love with...
You!
'this dream never ends' you said
'this feeling never goes
The time will never come to slip away'
'this wave never breaks' you said
'this sun never sets again
These flowers will never fade'
'this world never stops' you said
'this wonder never leaves
The time will never come to say goodbye'
'this tide never turns' you said
'this night never falls again
These flowers will never die'
Never die
Never die
These flowers will never die
'this dream always ends' I said
'this feeling always goes
The time always comes to slip away'
'this wave always breaks' I said
'this sun always sets again
And these flowers will always fade'
'this world always stops' I said
'this wonder always leaves
The time always comes to say goodbye'
'this tide always turns' I said
'this night always falls again
And these flowers will always die'
Always die
Always die
These flowers will always die
Between you and me
It's hard to ever really know
Who to trust
How to think
What to believe
Between me and you
It's hard to ever really know
Who to choose
How to feel
What to do
Never fade
Never die
You give me flowers of love
Always fade
Always die
I let fall flowers of blood
She whispers
'please remember me
When I am gone from here'
She whispers
'please remember me
But not with tears...
Remember I was always true
Remember that I always tried
Remember I loved only you
Remember me and smile...
For it's better to forget
Than to remember me
And cry'
'remember I was always true
Remember that I always tried
Remember I loved only you
Remember me and smile...
For it's better to forget
Than to remember me
And cry... '
Yeah this is how it ends
After all these years
Tired of it all
Hopelessly helplessly broken apart
He finally falls
He doesn't want to think
Doesn't want to feel
Doesn't want to know what's going on
Says there's nothing he can do will change anything
He doesn't want to know what's going wrong
Because he's in love with a drug
One that makes him numb
One that stops him feeling at all
He's in love with a drug
Forget everyone
He really doesn't care anymore
Anymore...
Yeah this is how it ends
After all this time
Everything just fades away
Worn-out and empty and all alone
With nothing left to say
Oh it's all too big to make a difference
It's all too wrong to make it right
Yeah everything is too unfair
Everything too much to bear
He doesn't have the strength left for the fight
Says all he wants is the drug
The one that makes him numb
The one that stops him feeling at all
He just wants to take the drug
Forget everyone
He doesn't want to care anymore
Just keeps loving the drug
The one that makes him numb
The one that stops him feeling at all
Just keeps loving the drug
The drug that he's become
He isn't really here anymore...
And that makes me cry
Remember how it used to be
When the sun would fill the sky
Remember how we used to feel
Those days would never end
Those days would never end
Remember how it used to be
When the stars would fill the sky
Remember how we used to dream
Those nights would never end
Those nights would never end
It was the sweetness of your skin
It was the hope of all we might have been
That filled me with the hope to wish
Impossible things
To wish impossible things
But now the sun shines cold
And all the sky is grey
The stars are dimmed by clouds and tears
And all I wish
Is gone away
All I wish
Is gone away
All I wish
Is gone away
I don't care if Monday's blue
Tuesday's grey and Wednesday too
Thursday I don't care about you
It's Friday I'm in love
Monday you can fall apart
Tuesday Wednesday break my heart
Thursday doesn't even start
It's Friday I'm in love
Saturday wait
And Sunday always comes too late
But Friday never hesitate...
I don't care if Mondays black
Tuesday Wednesday heart attack
Thursday never looking back
It's Friday I'm in love
Monday you can hold your head
Tuesday Wednesday stay in bed
Or Thursday watch the walls instead
It's Friday I'm in love
Saturday wait
And Sunday always comes too late
But Friday never hesitate...
Dressed up to the eyes
It's a wonderful surprise
To see your shoes and your spirits rise
Throwing out your frown
And just smiling at the sound
And as sleek as a shriek
Spinning round and round
Always take a big bite
It's such a gorgeous sight
To see you eat in the middle of the night
You can never get enough
Enough of this stuff
It's Friday
I'm in love
Oh Elise it doesn't matter what you say
I just can't stay here every yesterday
Like keep on acting out the same
The way we act out
Every way to smile
Forget
And make-believe we never needed
Any more than this
Any more than this
Oh Elise it doesn't matter what you do
I know I'll never really get inside of you
To make your eyes catch fire
The way they should
The way the blue could pull me in
If they only would
If they only would
At least I'd lose this sense of sensing something else
That hides away
From me and you
There're worlds to part
With aching looks and breaking hearts
And all the prayers your hands can make
Oh I just take as much as you can throw
And then throw it all away
Oh I throw it all away
Like throwing faces at the sky
Like throwing arms round
Yesterday
I stood and stared
Wide-eyed in front of you
And the face I saw looked back
The way I wanted to
But I just can't hold my tears away
The way you do
Elise believe I never wanted this
I thought this time I'd keep all of my promises
I thought you were the girl I always dreamed about
But I let the dream go
And the promises broke
And the make-believe ran out...
So Elise
It doesn't matter what you say
I just can't stay here every yesterday
Like keep on acting out the same
The way we act out
Every way to smile
Forget
And make-believe we never needed
Any more than this
Any more than this
And every time I try to pick it up
Like falling sand
As fast as I pick it up
It runs away through my clutching hands
But there's nothing else I can really do
There's nothing else I can really do
There's nothing else
I can really do
At all...
'I think it's dark and it looks like rain'
You said
'And the wind is blowing like it's the end of the world'
You said
'And it's so cold
It's like the cold if you were dead'
And then you smiled
For a second
'I think I'm old and I'm feeling pain'
You said
'And it's all running out like it's the end of the world'
You said
'And it's so cold it's like the cold if you were dead'
And then you smiled
For a second
Sometimes you make me feel
Like I'm living at the edge of the world
Like I'm living at the edge of the world
'It's just the way I smile'
You said
I'm so glad you came
I'm so glad you remembered
To see how we're ending
Our last dance together
Expectant
Too puctual
But prettier than ever
I really believe that this time it's forever
But older than me now
More constant
More real
And the fur and the mouth and the innocence
Turned to hair and contentment
That hangs in abasement
A woman now standing where once
There was only a girl
I'm so glad you came
I'm so glad you remembered
The walking through walls in the heart of December
The blindness of happiness
Of falling down laughing
And I really believed that this time was forever
But Christmas falls late now
Flatter and colder
And never as bright as when we used to fall
All this in an instant
Before I can kiss you
A woman now standing where once
There was only a girl
I'm so glad you came
I'm so glad you remembered
To see how we're ending
Our last dance together
Reluctantly
Cautiously
But prettier than ever
I really believe that this time it's forever
But Christmas falls late now
Flatter and colder
And never as bright as when we used to fall
And even if we drink
I don't think we would kiss in the way that we did
When the woman
Was only a girl
i'm running out of time i'm out of step and
closing down and never sleep for wanting hours
the empty hours of greed and uselessly always
the need to feel again the real belief of
something more than mockery if only i could
fill my heart with love
Hey you!
Yes you...
Yes you the one that looks like Christmas...
Come over here and kiss me
Kiss me!!!
Hey you!
Yes you...
Yes you the one that looks delirious...
Come over here and kiss me
Kiss me!!!
Yeah I know who you remind me of
A girl I think I used to know
Yeah I'd see her when the days got colder
On those days when it felt like snow
You know I even think that she stared like you
She used to just stand there and stare
And roll her eyes right up to heaven
And make like I just wasn't there
And she used to fall down a lot
That girl was always falling
Again and again
And I used to sometimes try to catch her
But never even caught her name
And sometimes we would spend the night
Just rolling about on the floor
And I remember even though it felt soft at the time
I always used to wake up sore...
You know I even think that she smiled like you
She used to just stand there and smile
And her eyes would go all sort of far away
And stay like that for quite a while
And I remember she used to fall down a lot
That girl was always falling
Again and again
And I used to sometimes try to catch her
But never even caught her name
Yeah I sometimes even tried to catch her
But never even caught her name
Yesterday I got so old
I felt like I could die
Yesterday I got so old
It made me want to cry
Go on go on
Just walk away
Go on go on
Your choice is made
Go on go on
And disappear
Go on go on
Away from here
And I know I was wrong
When I said it was true
That it couldn't be me and be her
Inbetween without you
Without you
Yesterday I got so scared
I shivered like a child
Yesterday away from you
It froze me deep inside
Come back come back
Don't walk away
Come back come back
Come back today
Come back come back
Why can't you see?
Come back come back
Come back to me
And I know I was wrong
When I said it was true
That it couldn't be me and be her
Inbetween without you
Without you
Going under slowly
It never seems too late
Going under so slow...
Dressing up to kiss
Dressing up to touch all this
I'm dressing up to dance all week
I'm dressing up to sleep
Dressing up to kiss
Dressing up to be all this
I could eat your face
I could eat all of you
Oh this night will never let me go...
Going under slowly
Never seems too late
Going under slowly...
You'll pick me up again
Let me take your hand
I'm shaking like milk
Turning
Turning blue
All over the windows and the floors
Fires outside in the sky
Look as perfect as cats
The two of us together again
But it's just the same
A stupid game
But I don't care if you don't
And I don't feel if you don't
And I don't want it if you don't
And I won't say it
If you don't say it first
You think you're tired now
But wait until three...
Laughing at the Christmas lights
You remember
From December
All of this then back again
Another girl
Another name
Stay alive but stay the same
It's just the same
A stupid game
But I don't care if you don't
And I don't feel if you don't
And I don't want it if you don't
And I won't play it
If you don't play it first
You can't even see now
So you ask me the way
You wonder if it's real
Because it couldn't be rain...
Through the right doorway
And into the white room
It used to be the dust that would lay here
When I came here alone
But I don't care if you don't
And I don't feel if you don't
And I don't want it if you don't
And I won't say it
If you don't say it first
Doo doo doo doo
Let's go to bed!
Doo doo doo doo
Let's go to bed!
Today there was a tragedy
Underneath the bridge
A man walked
Cold and blue
Into La Ment
The sky coloured perfect
As the man slipped away
Waving with a last vanilla smile...
Somewhere at a table
Two drowned fools
Smoking
Drinking water as they talked
Of how they loved our lady
And oh! the smell as candles die...
One more ice cream river body
Flowed underneath the bridge
Underneath the bridge
Sharp and open
Leave me alone
And sleeping less every night
As the days become heavier and weighted
Waiting
In the cold light
A noise
A scream tears my clothes as the figurines tighten
With spiders inside them
And dust on the lips of a vision of hell
I laughed in the mirror for the first time in a year
A hundred other words blind me with your purity
Like an old painted doll in the throes of dance
I think about tomorrow
Please let me sleep
As I slip down the window
Freshly squashed fly
You mean nothing
You mean nothing
I can lose myself in chinese art and american girls
All the time
Lose me in the dark
Please do it right
Run into the night
I will lose myself tomorrow
Crimson pain
My heart explodes
My memory in a fire
And someone will listen
At least for a short while...
I can never say no to anyone but you
Too many secrets
Too many lies
Writhing with hatred
Too many secrets
Please make it good tonight...
But the same image haunts me
In sequence
In despair of time
I will never be clean again
I touched her eyes
Pressed my stained face
I will never be clean again
Touch her eyes
Press my stained face
I will never be clean again
I will never be clean again
Catch me if I fall
I'm losing hold
I can't just carry on this way
And every time
I turn away
Lose another blind game
The idea of perfection holds me...
Suddenly I see you change
Everything at once
The same
But the mountain never moves...
Rape me like a child
Christened in blood
Painted like an unknown saint
There's nothing left but hope...
Your voice is dead
And old
And always empty
Trust in me through closing years
Perfect moments wait...
If only we could stay
Please
Say the right words
Or cry like the stone white clown
And stand
Lost forever in a happy crowd...
No-one lifts their hands
No-one lifts their eyes
Justified with empty words
The party just gets better and better...
I went away alone
With nothing left
But faith
Come closer and see
See into the trees
Find the girl
While you can
Come closer and see
See into the dark
Just follow your eyes
Just follow your eyes
I hear her voice
Calling my name
The sound is deep
In the dark
I hear her voice
And start to run
Into the trees
Into the trees
Into the trees
Suddenly I stop
But I know it's too late
I'm lost in a forest
All alone
The girl was never there
It's always the same
I'm running towards nothing
Again and again and again
Like a looking Glass girl
in a minature world
saw you dance like dice
and tumble to the floor
like a looking Glass girl
in a minature world
whirl your disney arms
and jump the merry-go-round
The Umbrella man is shouting
We shake his paper hands
there's mirrors down beneath
our feet so "Let's skate Down
the street" The Casino man is
laughing he wears a shivering hat
We peel away like tinsel
Stick like splinters to the wall
Like a looking glass girl
In a minature world
She saw you dressed in rags
In-and-out of a jack-in-a-box
because she's a looking glass girl
in a minature world
whirl your see-saw-arms
and ride the catherine wheel
(foot, foot)
one mile in the air that's where she lives
her body looks so thin and pink and small
dropping eggs from nervous shaking hands
and swallowing her fingers as they fall
two people dance on the edge:three of us push them away
there's nowhere to go we're all in this
but nothing can hurt us at all
fight her all you want you'll never win
couldn't we just once leave her in bed
let the dry air cut her happy throat
hide her heart and lose her happy head
first I was a murderer then I was a saint
now I live on stolen time twist and run like paint
like an animal
tuesday in the sun nothing could be worse
not now not ever not anymore....
I'm in the room without a light
The room without a view
I'm here for one more treacherous night
Another night with you
It tortures me to move my hands
To try to move at all
And pulled
My skin so tight it screams
And screams and screams
And pulls some more
Hanging like this
Like a vampire bat
Hanging like this
Hanging on your back
I'm helpless again
My body is cut and broken
It's shattered and sore
My body is cut wide open
I can't stand anymore
It tortures me to move my hands
To try to move at all
And pulled
My skin so tight screams
And screams and screams
And screams some more
Hanging like this
Like a vampire bat
Hanging like this hanging on your back
Oh it's torture
And I'm almost there
It's torture
But I'm almost there
It's torture
But I'm almost there
It's torture
But I'm almost there
You know you turn me on
Eyes so wide and legs so long
But don't try to talk to me
I won't listen to your lies
You're just an object in my eyes
Sophisticated smile
You seduce in such fine style
But don't try to fool me
Because I can see through your disguise
You're just an object in my eyes
But I don't mind
I just don't care
I've got no objection
To you touching me...
Object object object object...
You know just what to do
Lick your lips
And I want you
But don't try to hold me
Because I don't want any ties
You're just an object in my eyes
But I don't mind
I just don't care
I've got no objections
To you touching me...
You're just an object
Object object object
You're just an objec
New day
In heaven the ground is waiting
For the dust
The seed
My love once more
I shout
New day
Hold the air and gasp in life
This solid dance
This cold cold night
Is gone...
The dark heat throbs
The fools' sweat swims
The hazy lights
The deadly sins
Are gone...
Crack the stone
Invade my head
Dropping honey dropping dead again
The silence shouts
Across the gap
Another dreaming
Love me again
Shout...
However much I push it down
It's never enough
However much I push it around
It's never enough
However much I make it out
It's never enough
Never enough
However much I do
However big I ever feel
It's never enough
Whatever I do to make it real
It's never enough
In any way I try to speak
It's never enough
Never enough
However much I try to speak
It's never enough
However much I'm falling down
It's never enough
However much I'm falling out
It's never enough
Whatever smile I smile the most
It's never enough
Never enough
However I smile
I smile the most
So let me hold it up
Just one more go
Holding it up for just once more
One more time to fill it up
One more time to kill
But whatever I do
It's never enough
It's never enough
It's never enough
[Originally by David Bowie]
They pulled in just behind the bridge
He lays her down, he frowns
'Gee my life's a funny thing, am I
still too young?'
He kissed her then and there
She took his ring, took his babies
It took him minutes, took her nowhere
Heaven knows, she'd have taken anything, but
[CHORUS (She)]
All night
She wants the young American
Young American, young American, she wants the young American
All right
She wants the young American
Scanning life through the picture
window
She finds the slinky vagabond
He coughs as he passes her Ford
Mustang, but
Heaven forbid, she'll take anything
But the freak, and his type, all for
nothing
He misses a step and cuts his hand, but
Showing nothing, he swoops like a song
She cries 'Where have all Papa's heroes gone?'
[CHORUS (She)]
All the way from Washington
Her bread-winner begs off the bathroom floor
We live for just these twenty years
Do we have to die for the fifty more?'
[CHORUS (HE)]
All night
He wants the young American
Young American, young American,
he wants the young American
All right
He wants the young American
Do you remember, your President Nixon?
Do you remember, the bills you have to pay?
Or even yesterday?
Have been the un-American?
Just you and your idol sing falsetto
'bout Leather, leather everywhere, and
Not a myth left from the ghetto
Well, well, well, would you carry a razor
In case, just in case of depression?
Sit on your hands on a bus of survivors
Blushing at all the afro-Sheeners
Ain't that close to love?
Well, ain't that poster love?
Well, it ain't that Barbie doll
Her hearts have been broken just like you
[CHORUS (YOU)]
All night
You want the young American
Young American, young American, you want the young American
All right
You want the young American
You ain't a pimp and you ain't a hustler
A pimp's got a Cadi and a lady got a Chrysler
Black's got respect, and white's got his soul train
Mama's got cramps, and look at your hands ache
(I heard the news today, oh boy)
I got a suite and you got defeat
Ain't there a man who can say no more?
And, ain't there a woman I can
sock on the jaw?
And, ain't there a child I can hold without judging?
Ain't there a pen that will write before they die?
Ain't you proud that you've still got faces?
Ain't there one damn song that can make me
break down and cry?
[CHORUS (I) (repeat 3 times ad lib)]
All night
I want the young American
Young American, young American, I want the young American
All right
I want the young American
The holy city breathed
Like a dying man
It moved with hopeful tears
With the tears of the blind
And on and on as the night drew in
Through broken streets
That sucked me in
My feet were bare and cut with stones
With walking to the promised land
I pushed through crowds
Through seas of prayer
Through twisting hands and choking air
A vulture at the wailing wall
I circled...
Waiting...
'I don't care'
If only I could say that
And not feel so sick and scared
'I don't care'
If only I could say that
If only my eyes would close...
'It's Jesus brilliant'
You used to laugh
'Walking these gorgeous blocks...
This top is the place
Where nobody goes
You just imagine
You just imagine it all... '
Every day I lie here
And know that it's true
All I really want is you
Please come back
Please come back
Like all the other ones do...
Please come back
All of you...
So you don't care about the beautiful people
But you'll try one just the same
Yeah I know you can love it or leave it
You're just playing a game...
Again
Oh you don't care about the famously stupid
But you'll live it for a while
Oh I know you're only doing that irony thing
When you smile but don't smile...
You don't care about what anyone else is
Don't care what they do or they say
You live your own life in your own time
And in your own dead indifferent way
Yeah... in your own time...
No you don't care about the fabulous in things
But you'll be one just in case
Yeah I know you can take it or leave it
You're just having a taste...
Don't give a fuck about what anyone else is
Don't give a fuck what they do or they say
Yeah you are as you feel in your own time
And in your own dead indifferent way
And you will swear on any life but your own
That you're happy! happy how it all is...
At least it's the way that you think I should think
That you think about any of this
About any of this... yeah... and it's so much more than you ever need...
And you will swear on any lie but your own
That you're happy! happy how it all is...
At least it's the way that you think I should think
That you think about any of this...
You're so... happy yeah!
You're so... happy yeah!
You're so... happy yeah!
You're so... happy yeah!
So happy... you could kill me!
Lime green lime green and tangerine
Are the sickly sweet colours of the snakes I'm seeing
Lime green lime green and tangerine
Are the sickly sweet colours of the devil in my dreams
Lime green lime green and tangerine
Are the sickly sweet colours of the snakes I'm seeing
Lime green and tangerine
Are the sickly sweet colours of the devil in my dreams
It gets to Friday and I give you a call
"You know I'm getting kind of worried
No she doesn't seem herself at all...
Lime green and a sickly kind of orange
I've never seen her like this before..."
I had the best laid plans this side of America
Started out in church and finished with angelica
Red and blue sould with a snow white smile
"Can you dig it?"
I had the best laid plans this side of America
Started out in church and finished with angelica
And now I dig in the dirt
And I'm down here for a while...
You've got to make up your mind and make it soon
Is there room in your life?
For one more trip to the moon?
Is there room in your life
For one more?
Burn red burn red burn red burn red and gold
Are the deep dark colours of the snakes I hold
Burn red burn red burn red and gold
Are the deep dark colours of the devil at home
"She pulls me down just as I'm trying to hide
Grabs me by the hair and drags me outside
And starts digging in the dirt...
For a not so early bird its the only way
For her to get the worm..."

Or maybe something I read
It's like yesterday's over
Something I did
Or something I said
Like yesterday's gone
Something I felt
Or maybe something I thought
Like yesterday's over
Something I took
Something I sought
Like yesterday's gone
You used to dream
You used to fly
You used to be
My reason why
Used to be me
Useless to try
You used to dream
Something you heard
Is like yesterday's over
Something you did
Something you said
It's like yesterday's gone
Something you felt
Or maybe you touched
Like yesterday's over
Something you thought
Something you love
Like yesterday's gone
And yesterday's gone
I used to dream
I used to fly

Your reason why
Used to be you
Now it's useless to try

You used to fly

Dressed in Berlin black
I was only playing
Disguise my words to fool you
From what I was saying
Mud trench
Meat stench
The Fatherland is looking on
Grip you in a luger lock...
This will be the big one
World war
No-one would believe me
World war
No-one's a winner
No-one's a loser...
Just a dead friend
Heaven heaven
Give me pride
Give me a golden hand
Smash them with an iron rule
Spit them out like sand
Sit and wait
Then run like hell
Run like hell
One time again
Sow the seeds of hate
Underneath destruction...
World war
No-one would believe me
World war
No-one's a winner
No-one's a loser...
Just a dead friend
[Originally by Depeche Mode]
Let me take you on a trip
Around the world and back
And you won't have to move
You just sit still
Now let your mind do the walking
And let my body do the talking
Let me show you the world in my eyes
I'll take you to the highest mountain
To the depths of the deepest sea
And we won't need a map
Believe me
Now let my body do the moving
And let my hands do the soothing
Let me show you the world in my eyes
That's all there is
Nothing more than you can feel now
That's all there is
Let me put you on a ship
On a long, long trip
Your lips close to my lips
All the islands in the ocean
All the heaven's in motion
Let me show you the world in my eyes
That's all there is
Nothing more than you can touch now
That's all there is
Let me show you the world in my eyes
you're so gorgeous i'll do anything!
i'll kiss you from your feet
to where your head begins!
you're so perfect!
you're so right as rain!
you make me
make me hungry again
everything you do is irresistible
everything you do is simply kissable
why can't i be you?
i'll run around in circles
'til i run out of breath
i'll eat you all up
or i'll just hug you to death
you're so wonderful!
too good to be true!
you make me
make me hungry for you
everything you do is simply delicate
everything you do is quite angelicate
why can't i be you?
you turn my head when you turn around
you turn the whole world upside down

i'm stuck like glue!
you make me
make me hungry for you
everything you do is simply dreamy
everything you do is quite delicious
why can't i be you?
why can't i be you?
why can't i be you?
you're simply elegant!
The world is neither fair nor unfair
The idea is just a way for us to understand
But the world is neither fair nor unfair
So one survives
The others die
And you always want a reason why
But the world is neither just nor unjust
It's just us trying to feel that there's some sense in it
No, the world is neither just nor unjust
And though going young
So much undone
Is a tragedy for everyone
It doesn't speak a plan or any secret thing
No unseen sign or untold truth in anything...
But living on in others, in memories and dreams
Is not enough
You want everything
Another world where the sun always shines
And the birds always sing
Always sing...
The world is neither fair nor unfair
The idea is just a way for us to understand
No the world is neither fair nor unfair
So some survive
And others die
And you always want a reason why
But the world is neither just nor unjust
It's just us trying to feel that there's some sense in it
No, the world is neither just nor unjust
And though going young
So much undone
Is a tragedy for everyone
It doesn't mean there has to be a way of things
No special sense that hidden hands are pulling strings
But living on in others, in memories and dreams
Is not enough
And it never is
You always want so much more than this...
An endless sense of soul and an eternity of love
A sweet mother down below and a just father above
For living on in others, in memories and dreams
Is not enough
You want everything
Another world
Where the birds always sing
Another world
Where the sun always shines
Another world
Where nothing ever dies...
'You look like you could do with a friend' she said
'You look like you could use a hand
Someone to make you smile' she said
'Someone who can understand
Share your trouble
Comfort you
Hold you close
And I can do all of these...
I think you need me here with you'
'You look like you could do with a sister' she said
'You look like you need a girl to call your own... like...
Fabulous! Fabulous!
Call me Fabulous!'
And rubbing her hands so slow
'You stare at me all strange' she said
'Are you hungry for more?'
'I've had enough' I said
'Please leave me alone
Please go'
It doesn't touch me at all
It doesn't touch me at all
'You know that you could do with a friend' she said
'You know that you could use a word
Like feel or follow or fuck' she said
And laughing away as she turned
'You're everything but no-one
Like the last man on earth'
'And when I die' I said
I'll leave you it all'
Door closes...
Leaves me cold
It doesn't touch me at all
It doesn't touch me at all
'You really do need a sister' she said
'You really do need a girl to call your own... like...
Wonderful! Wonderful!
Call me Wonderful!'
And running her hands so slow
'You stare at me all strange' she said
'Are you hungry for more?'
'I've had enough' I said
'Please leave me alone
Please go...
Please go'
I've been watching me fall for it seems like years
Watching me grow small, I watch me disappear
Slipping out my ordinary world, out my ordinary eyes
Yeah slipping out the ordinary me into someone else's life
Into someone else's life...
There's a thin white cold new moon and the snow is coming down
And the neon bright tokyo lights flicker through the crowd
I've been drifting around for hours and I'm lost and I'm tired
When a whisper in my ear insatiable breathes
'why don't you follow me inside?... '
Yeah the room is small, the room is bright
Her hair is black, the bed is white
And the night is always young
Is always young... always young
The night is always young...
Yeah I've been seeing them strip to the bone in the mirror on the wall
Seeing her swallow him whole like it's not me at all
She holds out her hands and I follow her down to my knees
And the sucking inside insatiable smiles
'you will forget yourself in me... '
Yeah the room is small, the room is bright
Her eyes are black, the bed is white
And the night is always young
And the night goes on and on
And the night is always young
And the night is never over and over and over and over and over...
And then it's gone
And then it's gone
Yeah then it's gone...
Yeah it's a cruel mean cold new day and outside the snow is still coming down
And in the blood red tokyo bed I watch me coming round
She pulled him down for hours
Deeper than I've ever been
And as I fall in the mirror on the wall
I'm watching me scream
I'm watching me scream
I'm watching me scream
I'm watching me scream
Yeah I've been watching me go for it must be years
Watching me get slow, I watch me disappear
And one day, yeah I know, I won't come back at all...
And always over and over in his ordinary eyes
I'm watching me fall
I'm watching me fall
I'm watching me fall
I'm watching me fall
I'm always wanting more
Anything I haven't got
Everything
I want it all
I just can't stop
Planning all my days away
But never finding ways to stay
Or ever feel enough today
Tomorrow must be more
Drink more dreams more bed more drugs
More lust more lies more head more love
More fear more fun more pain more flesh
More stars more smiles more fame more sex
But however hard I want
I know deep down inside
I'll never really get more hope
Or any more time
Any more time
Any more time
Any more time
I want the sky to fall in
I want lightning and thunder
I want blood instead of rain
I want the world to make me wonder
I want to walk on water
Take a trip to the moon
Give me all this and give me it soon
More drink more dreams more drugs
More lust more lies more love
But however hard I want
I know deep down inside
I'll never really get more hope
Or any more time
Any more time
Any more time
Any more time
Tonight I'll dream a girl called home
And wake up in tears
All on my own
With the sun coming up
And my head against stone
Balcony dressed and drawn
Tonight I'll dream a room so far away
Frost pale blue
The colour of a perfect day
And then screw up my face
In the mirror
As I wait for the others to call
But if I don't believe in magic
And I don't believe in blood
And I don't believe in miracles
And I don't believe in love
Then how come I believe so soon
In a cherry tree girl
And a dust blue room?
Tonight I'll dream an hour so long
Shadow soft smiles
And everyone loves me
To open my eyes
In a drag myself face undone
Hard back into the world
Tonight I'll dream a dream I dream
Without even trying I'm flying I scream
As I practice the move
I spit at my pillow stained face
And the others all come
But if I don't believe in magic
And I don't believe in blood
And I don't believe in miracles
And I don't believe in love
Then how come I believe it seems
In a girl called home
And a world called dreams?
There is no terror in my heart
Death is with us all
We suck him down with our first breath
And spit him out as we fall
There is no terror in my heart
No dread of the unknown
Desire for paradise to be...
We love this on our own
No I don't want you anywhere near me
I don't want you anywhere near me
Get your fucking world out of my head
I don't want you anywhere near me
I don't want you anywhere near me
Get your fucking world out of my head
I don't want your 'us or them'
No I don't need your 'us or them'
Oh I don't want your 'us or them'
I don't need your 'us or them
You're us or them...'
'I live in knowledge of real truth
And all my gods are great!'
The doleful cant of a bigot
Blinded by fear and hate
You live in knowledge of real truth?
Oh the biggest lie I heard
How sick in your mind and soul
To be scared of my voice and my words
Oh you don't want me anywhere near you
You don't want me anywhere near you
Get my fucking head out of your world
You don't want me anywhere near you
You don't want me anywhere near you
Get my fucking head out of your world
I don't want your 'us or them'
No I don't need your 'us or them'
Oh I don't want your 'us or them'
I don't need your 'us or them'
As the only way this ever ends is 'me'
Hopelessly drift
In the eyes of the ghost again
Down on my knees
And my hands in the air again
Pushing my face in the memory of you again
But I never know if it's real
Never know how I wanted to feel
Never quite said what Iwanted to say to you
Never quite managed the words to explain to you
Never quite knew how to make them believable
And now the time has gone
Another time undone
Hopelessly fighting the devil
Futility
Feeling the moster
Climb deeper inside of me
Feeling him gnawing my heart away
Hungrily
I'll never lose this pain
Never dream of you again
Floating here like this with you
Underneath the stars aligned
For 13 billion years the view it's beautiful
And ours alone tonight underneath the stars
Spinning round and round with you
Watching shadows melt the light
So shining from our eyes a tear
Another space is ours alone tonight
Watch as shadows melt
The waves break
The waves break
Whisper in my ear a wish
We could drift away so far
Your voice inside of my head like this it's infinite
The hours alone tonight, we could drift away
Flying here like this with you
Underneath the stars aligned
For 13 billion years the view it's beautiful
And ours alone tonight underneath the stars
(Everything is gone)
Everything gone ... still to ...
Together as now forever as one
In each other's arms so near and so far
Together as now underneath the stars
As the waves break
I've been waiting for the lies to end
Holding for the bad to go
I've been hanging for the ugliness to change
Waiting for a world too true
Holding for a world too good
Hanging for a world too beautifuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuul
Wishing for a girl too true
Hoping for a girl too good
Hungry for a girl too beautiful
All I say is a lie she sighs
Nothing I say is true
And all I do is bad she cries
Nothing I do is good
And yeh all I am is ugly
Nothing I am is beautiful at all
Don't get this world
I Don't get this girl
So look, but you wont see it
Listen, and you wont hear it
Reach out, and you wont hold it
You cant know it, but you can free it
You cant name it, but could feel it
I've been waiting for the lies to end
Holding for the bad to go
I've been hanging for the ugliness to change
Waiting for a world too true
Holding for a world too good
Hanging for a world too beautiful..
Wishing for a girl...like you
Hoping for a girl...like you
Hungry for a girl...like you
No...not like you...you
Drowning like a fly in my drink
You drone about being on the brink
But I really don't care what you think
Oh I'm sick of it all
Sick of it all
I hate the way it's always the same
Hate recrimination and blame
And you just wait for me to fuck up again
Oh I'm sick of it all
Sick of it all
The ways you try and put me down
Sweet revenge for the things I've done
The ways you try and twist me around
'give me a taste of my own medicine'
Drowning like a fly in my drink
You whine about being out of synch
But I really don't care what you think
Oh I'm sick of it all
Sick of it all
I hate the way you want me to be
Hate regret and humility
And you just wait for me to fall at your feet
Oh I'm sick of it all
Sick of it all
The ways you try and run me down
Make me pay for the things I've been
The ways you try and push me around
All you want to do is win
Any love you once felt for me
Has turned into this travesty
Of selfishness and jealousy
So why can't you just let me go?
Any love you once felt for me
Has turned into this travesty
Of selfishness and jealousy
So why can't I just let you go?
One perfect morning I was all alone
Listening to the blaze of summer
Drifting
I was falling
I was floating in a golden haze
Breathing in the sky blue sounds
Of memories of other days
And in my dreams I was a child
Flowers in my mouth and in my eyes
And I was floating through the colours of a sky
Up to the stars and angels
Up up up to heaven
Up up up forever
Up up up to heaven
Up up up forever
Turning in my climb
I looked down on a lake
And traced upon the water there
I saw your face
And sang in recollection
Of the times we shared...
Then pushed on ever upward
To the sky
And in my dreams I was a child
Flowers in my mouth and in my eyes
And I was floating through the colours of a sky
Up to the stars and angels
Up up up to heaven
Up up up forever
Up up up to heaven
Up up up forever
It's funny how your face gets bigger
Gets bigger in this atmosphere
And your mouth goes dry
With every move you try
It's so funny here!
Jumping around
Click click click
When you're so slow
It's like the world is stopping...
Fifteen times I try this
And every time I faint
You look at me and
Start to tell the joke
About the man who couldn't stop
Hiccupping...
It would be so perfect
If you would just fall out the window!
Throw your foot away!
You're tired and your face is grey
Like the sad old fool
You groove...
Hey hey hey!!!
Walk across the garden
In the footsteps of my shadow
See the lights out
No-one's home
In amongst the statues
Stare at nothing in
The garden moves...
Can you help me?
Close my eyes
And hold so tightly
Scared of what the morning brings
Waiting for tomorrow
Never comes
Deep inside
The empty feeling
All the night time leaves me
Three imaginary boys
Slipping through the door
Hear my heart beat in the hallway
Echoes
Round and round
Inside my head
Drifting up the stairs
I see the steps behind me
Disappearing...
Can you help me?
Close my eyes
And hold so tightly
Scared of what the morning brings
Waiting for tomorrow
Never comes
Deep inside
The empty feeling
All the night time leaves me
Three imaginary boys sing in my
Sleep sweet child
The moon will change your mind...
See the cracked reflection
Standing still
Before the bedroom mirror
Over my shoulder
But no-one's there
Whispers in the silence
Pressing close behind me
Pressing close behind
Can you help me?
Can you help me?
This
Here and now
With you
Oh please don't ask me who i am
Or when and where my life began
Or why i ended up like this or how
Don't ask me what i was before
If i was anything at all
Its nothing you can know
About me now
You hold my spinning head to stare
And strip me bare of memory
Your black eyes burning into me
So slow
The sounds and lights and others fade
And fall away in symmetry
Your black eyes burning hungrily
And unafraid i know
Everything i ever dared forget is here
Too scared before i never let
Tonight be all i need
Everywhere i never tried to get is here
Too tired before to ever let
Tonight be all i feel
Every time i ever thought regret is here
Too caught before i never let
Tonight be all i dream
There isn't any yesterday
Tomorrow starts a day away
This
Here and now
With you
I can't believe this is coming true
I'm up so close to kissing you
A breathe away from never going home
I don't remember getting here
It seems to be sometime next year
I hope you wont be
Leaving me alone?
No please don't tell me who i am
Or when and where my life began
Or why i ended up like this or how
Don't ask me what i was before
If i was anything at all
Its nothing you can know
About me now
You pull my shaking body close
To make the most of tangency
I bite your mouth so fearfully
And slow
The taste of summers yet to hine
A perfect time to change the scene
I bite your mouth in urgency
And terrified i kbnow
Everything i ever dared forget is here
Too scared before i never let
Tonight be all i need
Everywhere i never tried to get is here
Too tired before to ever let
Tonight be all i feel
Every time i ever thought regret is here
Too caught before i never let
Tonight be all i dream
There isn't any yesterday
Tomorrow starts a day away
This here and now with you is how
Always should always be
This
Here and now
With you
I lift my lips from kissing you
To kiss the sky
Cloud soft and blue
And slow the sun melts down
Into your golden words for me
I lift my hands from touching you
To touch the wind that whispers through
This twilight garden
Turns into a world
Where dreams are real
No-one will ever take your place
I am lost in you
No-one will ever take your place
So in love with you
I lift my eyes from watching you
To watch the star rise shine onto
Your dreaming face and dreaming smile
You're dreaming worlds for me
I lift my lips from kissing you
And kiss the sky wide deepest blue
And slow the moon swims up
Into your golden words for me
No-one will ever take your place
I am lost in you
No-one will ever take your place
So in love with you
Nothing left to feel
Nothing more to do
Nothing left to give
Nothing more in you
Nothing else to have or hold
Nothing left, but time to go
Time to go
Years go by
Didn't really say that much at all
And moments just fly
Didn't ever really touch at all
Weeks always run down
Didn't really get that close at all
And days, days fall out
Didn't ever really know at all
And then we're here in a room too clean and too bright
She stares at you for an hour
You stare into the light
For one last hour in the room
So mean and so white
I stare at her in this room as she stares into the night
Nothing left to feel
Nothing more to do
Nothing left to ask
Nothing more of you
Nothing else to share or show
Nothing left but time to go
In his eyes as we turn no eternity of life
In his eyes as we turn no infinity of why
In his eyes as we turn no beautiful goodbye
In his eyes as we turn... NOTHING BUT TEARS
In his eyes as we turn... NOTHING BUT TEARS
[Robert talks in a low voice:]
I couldn't understand too much of what was being said, in a matter of minutes,
Peacefully so slow, I had to think to breath, my heart burst, we moved in silence really slowly away from the world,
As we drove a strange silence, that moment, nothing will ever be the same, nothing will ever be the same, nothing
Will ever be the same
Days fall out
Weeks always run down
Moments just fly
Weeks go by
And then were here
And then we're here in a room too clean and too bright
I stare at you for an hour
You stare into the light
For one last hour in the room so mean and so white
You stare at me in this room as I stare into the night
Nothing left to feel
Nothing more to do
Nothing more to take
Nothing more from you
Nothing else to need or know
There's nothing left at all...but time to go
Someone's evil laugh shoots down my back
shapeless and ageing we start to run
through the tangle of your broken words
this cheap impulse falls so dry
In the maze. I burn down
turn...you turn my skin around
wishing my eyes could look down
down on me...
Stairs fall like jewels
as we near the door
you fold through my neck
and arms like crystal
so black, so black with charm and breath
we turn to face the dying sun...
This green city rains down on me
this green city rains down on me
i've been watching me fall for it seems like years
watching me grow small, i watch me disappear
slipping out my ordinary world, out my ordinary eyes
yeah slipping out the ordinary me into someone else's life
into someone else's life...
there's a thin white cold new moon and the snow is coming down
and the neon bright tokyo lights flicker through the crowd
i've been drifting around for hours and i'm lost and i'm tired
when a whisper in my ear insatiable breathes
"why don't you follow me inside?..."
yeah the room is small, the room is bright
her hair is black, the bed is white
and the night is always young
is always young... always young
the night is always young...
yeah i've been seeing them strip to the bone in the mirror on the wall
seeing her swallow him whole like it's not me at all
she holds out her hands and i follow her down to my knees
and the sucking inside insatiable smiles
"you will forget yourself in me..."
yeah the room is small, the room is bright
her eyes are black, the bed is white
and the night is always young
and the night goes on and on
and the night is always young
and the night is never over and over and over and over and over...
and this it's gone
and this it's gone
yeah then it's gone
yeah it's a cruel mean cold new day and outside the snow is still coming down
and in the blood red tokyo bed i watch me coming round
she pulled him down for hours
deeper than i've ever been
and as i fall in the mirror on the wall
i'm watching me scream
i'm watching me scream
i'm watching me scream
i'm watching me scream
yeah i've been watching me go for it must be years
watching me get slow, i watch me disappear
and one day, yeah i know, i won't come back at all...
and always over and over in his ordinary eyes
i'm watching me fall
i'm watching me fall
i'm watching me fall
i'm watching me fall
[Instrumental]
Kiss me goodbye
Pushing out before I sleep
Can't you see I try
Swimming the same deep water as you is hard
'The shallow drowned lose less than we'
You breathe
The strangest twist upon your lips
'And we shall be together... '
'Kiss me goodbye
Bow your head and join with me'
And face pushed deep
Reflections meet
The strangest twist upon your lips
And disappear
The ripples clear
And laughing
Break against your feet
And laughing
Break the mirror sweet
'So we shall be together... '
'Kiss me goodbye'
Pushing out before I sleep
It's lower now and slower now
The strangest twist upon your lips
But I don't see
And I don't feel
But tightly hold up silently
My hands before my fading eyes
And in my eyes
Your smile
The very last thing before I go...
Iwill kiss you I will kiss you
I will kiss you forever on nights like this
I will kiss you I will kiss you
And we shall be together...
I won't try to bring you down about my suicide
Got no need to understand about my big surprise
Oh I am falling through the sky
You remember this?
I am falling in their eyes
You remember the kiss?
I won't try to bring you down about my suicide
Got no need to understand about my big surprise
I won't beg to hang you up about my love of life
If you promise not to sing about the reasons why
I am writing you a letter
Getting better
Can I see you?
When...
All the lights go out together
Blame the weather
Yeah the cold again
In the darkness for a second
I am sure I see them smiling then
I feel them calling me
Yeah they are calling me...
And I am falling through the stars
You remember now?
Yeah I am falling in their arms
You remember how?
Oh I am falling through the sky
You remember this ?
I am falling in their eyes
You remember the kiss?
I won't try to pull you in about my sacrifice
Makes no sense to get upset about the other side
I won't beg to put you out about my right to die
If you promise not to sing about the reasons why
I am calling you at midnight
Feeling alright...can I tell you?
When?
On the line no sound but my words
Must be night birds on the wire again
In the silence for a second
I am sure I hear them laughing then
I feel them calling me
Yeah they are calling me...
I am falling through the stars
You remember now
Yeah, I am falling in their arms
You remember how
I am falling through the sky
You remember this
I am falling in their eyes
You remember the kiss
'We know'
They said
'You're holding on
To nothing left of something gone'
'We know'
They said
'In letting go
Of fear and dread
And all you know
You'll lose the need of certainty
And make-believe eternity
To find the true reality
In beautiful infinity....'
But I won't try to bring you down about my suicide
If you promise not to sing about the reasons why
You've got what I want...
Oh yeah!
It's only for the night
And I will give it back tomorrow I swear
She can barely breathe
Don't stare
I know the dress is tight
But it was all I had to wear
Give me what I need
Please share
You know it's only right
And I would never lie to you
I wouldn't dare...
I made a promise to myself
I wouldn't start with anyone else but...
You know how it is with these promises
Made in the heat of the moment
They're made to be broken in two
Sometimes the only thing to do
Oh no!
It's all coming back
How I came to in a sticky three-day hole
Didn't see the sign
Go slow
Too busy tuning static on the radio
She hissed it in a song
'Don't go...
It always fades to black'
But that's why I love the trip
It's so inevitable
I made a promise to myself
I wouldn't fall for anyone else but...
You know how it is with these promises
Made in the heat of the moment
They're made to be less than they seem
Whenever you've got what I need
And you've got what I need...
Aaaiiieee!
For service with a smile
I have to walk in on my hands
And roll for free
You say it's all the same
Ennui...
You're not the real snow white
The real snow white is on my knee
I didn't need to get id
It's simply minimum height
And getting all dressed up
In seven ways to please
I made a promise to myself
I wouldn't stay with anyone else but...
You know how it is with these promises
Made in the heat of the moment
They're made to be broken one day
If there's no time to get away
Uh-oh!
She wasn't made to shine
She was really only ever made to glow
I left her in the dark
No show
Quiet sucking on a line...
It was a tricky gun to load
And I didn't get to fire
Hi-ho!
She's off to work for time
I should have finished out with higher
Up than low
I made a promise to myself
I wouldn't stop with anyone else but...
You know how it is with these promises
Made in the heat of the moment
They're made before right becomes wrong
Whenever you've got what I want
And you've got what I want...
Oh yeah!
It's only for the night
And I will give it back tomorrow
I swear
Oh I love, oh I love, oh I love
What you do to my head
When you pull me upstairs
And you push me to bed
I love what you do to my head
It's a mess out there!
Oh I love, oh I love, oh I love
What you do to my heart
When you push me back down
And then pull me apart
I love what you do to my heart
It's the best, oh yeah
Oh I love, oh I love, oh I love
What you do to my lips
When you suck me inside
And you blow me a kiss
I love what you do to my lips
It's so sweet in there
Oh I love, love, love, love
What you do to my hips
When you blow me outside
And then suck me like this
I love what you do to my hips
It's the beat, oh yeah
You're the only one I cry for
The only one I try to please
You're the only one I sigh for
The only one I die to squeeze
And it gets better everyday, I play
With you it's such a scream
Yeah it gets better everyday, I say
With you it's so extreme
Yeah it gets wetter everyday, I stay
With you it's like a dream
Oh I love, oh I love, oh I love
What you do to my skin
Please slip me on
And slide me in
I love what you do to my skin
It's a passion oh yeah
Oh I love, love, love, love
What you do to my bones
When you slide me up
And take me home
I love what you do to my bones
It's the crush oh yeah
You're the only one I cry for
The only one I try to please
You're the only one I sigh for
The only one I die to squeeze
And it gets hazier anyway, I sway
With you it's such a scream
Yeah it gets mazier every play, I say
With you it's so extreme
Yeah it gets crazier everyday, I stay
With you it's like a dream
Oh I love, oh I love, oh I love
What you do to me
Kiss me kiss me kiss me!
Your tongue is like poison
So swollen it fills up my mouth
Love me love me love me!
You nail me to the floor
And push my guts all inside out
Get it out get it out get it out!
Get your fucking voice
Out of my head!
I never wanted this
I never wanted any of this
I wish you were dead
I wish you were dead
I never wanted any of this
I wish you were dead
Dead
Dead
Dead
Creatures kissing in the rain
Shapeless in the dark again
In the hanging garden
Please don't speak
In the hanging garden
No one sleeps
Catching haloes on the moon
Gives my hands the shapes of angels
In the heat of the night
The animals scream
In the heat of the night
Walking into a dream...
Fall fall fall fall
Into the walls
Jump jump out of time
Fall fall fall fall
Out of the sky
Cover my face as the animals cry
In the hanging garden
Creatures kissing in the rain
Shapeless in the dark again
In a hanging garden
Change the past
In a hanging garden
Wearing furs and masks...
Fall fall fall fall
Into the walls
Jump jump out of time
Fall fall fall fall
Out of the sky
Cover my face as the animals die
In the hanging garden
In the hanging garden
I couldn't hear a word you said
I couldn't hear at all
You talked until your tongue fell out
And then you talked some more
I knew if I turned
I'd turn away from you
And I couldn't look back
Tell yourself we'll start again
Tell yourself it's not the end
Tell yourself it couldn't happen
Not this way
Not today
The big hand makes all of your favourite things
Like all your dreams go small
And all your friends run away
Until your memories fail
And the words don't fit
But the way the big hand smiles
You just won't care about it
The big hand makes all of your favourite things
Like all your days run out
And all your hopes disappear
And your smiles just stop
And your eyes go dead
And the shadows start to crawl
In the back of your head
But when the big hand speaks
It's like fireworks and heaven
So you listen
Don't think
And wish for nothing at all
And when the big hand sings
It's like fireworks and friends
Leaving alone I'm not
Leaving alone
Leaving alone I'll never
Leave alone again
So when the big hand holds up all your favourite things
And with a touch like glass
Starts to squeeze
You don't ask
'Why me?'
You just slip to the floor
Just slip to your knees
But when the big hand speaks
It's like fireworks and heaven
So you listen
Don't think
And wish for nothing at all
And when the big hand sings
It's like fireworks and friends
Leaving alone I'm not
Leaving alone
Never leaving alone
Leaving alone I'm not
Leaving alone
Leaving alone
I'm not leaving alone again
'Everyone feels good in the room' she swings
'Two chord cool in the head' she sings
'A-buzz a-buzz a-buzzing like them killer bees... '
Tell me this is not for real
Please tell me this is not for real...
From time to time her eyes get wide
And she's always got them stuck on me
I'm surprised at how hot honey-coloured and hungry she looks
And I have to turn away to keep from bursting
Yeah I feel that good!
She slips from the stage
A foot no more
But it seems to take an hour for her to reach the floor
And the two chord cool still grooves
As she slides towards me smooth as a snake
I can't swallow I just start to shake
And I just know this is a big mistake
Yeah but it feels good!
Do it to me! do it to me! do it to me! do it to me!
Do it to me! do it to me! do it to me!
'if you want I can take you on another kind of ride... '
'believe me I would but... '
Deep inside the 'but' is 'please'
I am yearning for another taste
And my shaking is 'yes'
'you will be all the things in the world you've never been
See all the things in the world you've never seen
Dream all the things in the world you've never dreamed... '
But I think I get a bit confused...
Am I seducing or being seduced?
Oh I know that tomorrow I'll feel bad
But I really couldn't care about that
She's grinning singing spinning me round and round
Smiling as I start to fall
Her face gets big her face gets small
It's like tonight I'm really not me at all
And it feels good!
Do it to me! do it to me! do it to me! do it to me!
Do it to me! do it to me! do it to me!
It feels good!
Sometime it seems
I stopped being myself
And without a word
Turned into somebody else
Full of wishes wants dreams
And desires
For a life
Of conceit and deceit
And repeat and rewrite
Not sure who I was
Before this me and I changed
But I know this me now
Is not really the same...
Friends are as strangers
And strangers as friends
And I feel like I'm wired in a why
Yeah my friends are as strangers
And strangers as friends
And I feel like I'm lost in a lie
And every day my world gets slower
And colder and smaller
And older and lower
And every day
My treat gets closer to trick
Yeah every day my world gets slower
And colder and smaller
And older and lower
And I'm tired of being alone with myself
And I'm tired of being with anyone else
Yeah I'm tired...
Like I'm sick
None of my favourite things
Are quite right
To the mirror man
Screaming at me
In the spite of another
False start
Dirty worn out and used
Up and down
To the ground
Disavowed
So confused
All made up in the belief
That me is the same
As the eyes in the glass
But I see my eyes change...
Friends are as strangers
And strangers as friends
And I feel like I'm wired in a why
Yeah my friends are as strangers
And strangers as friends
And I feel like I'm lost in a lie
And every night my world gets quicker
And lighter and shorter
And tighter and slicker
And every night
My truth gets closer to dare
Yeah every night my world gets quicker
And lighter and shorter
And tighter and slicker
And I'm sick of being alone with myself
And I'm sick of being with anyone else
Yeah I'm sick of being alone with myself
And I'm sick of being with anyone else
Yeah I'm sick...
Like I'm tired?
Like I'm scared...
Oh I wish I could find it funny
You laughing like that
But instead I change into a rage
And run around
Without a face...
I wish I could find it funny
When you never came back
But I don't suppose I'll ever know
The how to keep you
Goodbye sugar girl
Goodbye sugar girl
Let me forget
Let me forget
Or let me go
Let me go
I'll keep it quiet as a whisper
I'll keep it low low low...
Never!
The biggest word I ever heard
Stop dead
Stop dead
You're getting too close...
Before you even opened your eyes
I moved about a million ways
I killed about a million people
And filled about half a day
Before you even opened your eyes
You had to have to ask me who
I love it...
I mean you...
My face was in your hands
You looked into my eyes
You said I tasted right
And swallowed me alive
Shape is still
Asleep
With the toys
As tall as men
The pictures in the hallway
Turning inside
Whispers
Unseen
Jumping against the sky
Slipping away
He looks
For the last time...
On candystripe legs the spiderman comes
Softly through the shadow of the evening sun
Stealing past the windows of the blissfully dead
Looking for the victim shivering in bed
Searching out fear in the gathering gloom and
Suddenly!
A movement in the corner of the room!
And there is nothing I can do
When I realise with fright
That the spiderman is having me for dinner tonight!
Quietly he laughs and shaking his head
Creeps closer now
Closer to the foot of the bed
And softer than shadow and quicker than flies
His arms are all around me and his tongue in my eyes
'Be still be calm be quiet now my precious boy
Don't struggle like that or I will only love you more
For it's much too late to get away or turn on the light
The spiderman is having you for dinner tonight'
And I feel like I'm being eaten
By a thousand million shivering furry holes
And I know that in the morning I will wake up
In the shivering cold
And the spiderman is always hungry..
I don't think I ever know if I ever really want it
Could be why I'm never sure if I ever really got it
And I guess it's maybe easier not to think too much about it...
A house a car a family and friends
Yeah all it means to justify the ends
But sometimes... I wonder... in the back of my mind
Sometimes... I wonder... if I'm wasting all my time
Sometimes... I wonder... if I'm putting off my real life...
What I could've done, where I could've been
When I should've gone, why I should've seen
Who I would've loved, how I would've dreamed
And if it's always always too late...
I don't think I ever know that I ever really need it
Could be why I'm never sure that I ever really feel it
And I think it's maybe easier to guess I really mean it...
A house! a car! a family and friends!
Yeah all it means to justify the ends
But sometimes... I wonder...
A girl! a smile! a holiday and sex!
Yeah all it takes to make sense of the rest
But sometimes... I wonder... in the back of my mind
Sometimes... I wonder... if I'm killing all my time
Sometimes... I wonder... if I'm giving up my real life...
What I could've done, where I could've been
When I should've gone, why I should've seen
Who I would've loved, how I would've dreamed
And if it's always, always too late...
And every day that I let slide
Is one day more I never try
To break the world
To make my fate
And with every day that I let go
It's one day less I ever know
If it's always
Always too late...
High up on this mountain
The whole world looks so small
And all the rivers
Run away
Slipping in your deep green heart
I drink you as I swim
And I'm sliding
And I'm sliding with you
Slide beneath my skin
Sleek and deep
And salty sweet
You open up in me
Just like the snow in summer
High up on this mountain
The whole world looks so small
And all the rivers
Run away
Slipping in your soft white heart
I drink you as I swim
And I'm falling
And I'm falling with you
Fall beneath my skin
Sleek and deep
And salty sweet
You come
And close in me
Just like the snow in summer
Just like the snow in summer
As it melts
Into the sea
Sleep when I'm dead, you angels
I'll sleep when I'm dead, I said
Sleep when I'm dead, you angels
I'll sleep when I'm dead, I said
Sleep when I'm dead, you angels
But until then
They told me I would live forever
If I kept it clean
They said I would be the chosen one
If I took one for the team
Yeah, it's the only way to be
Never think it isn't fair
That's a green eyed panic climb
To the edge of nowhere
Give it to the chicken and see if it ticks
Yeah, give it to the kitten and see if it sicks
Then give it to the wonderful, wonderful me
And I will tell on my return the way it is
With all the happy boys and girls
Yeah, the whole happy world
And the love they feel for me
Yeah, the love they feel for me
Sleep when I'm dead, you angels
I'll sleep when I'm dead, I said
Sleep when I'm dead, you angels
I'll sleep when I'm dead, I said
They told me I could run the world
If I kept it quiet
They said I could be the man
If I took it out of sight
In a monkey suit again
Having fun with all your friends
How a casual hour can pull
All this world to pieces
Give it to the bunny and see if she kicks
Yeah, give it to the puppy and see if he sticks
Then give it to the wonderful, wonderful me
I'll let you know when I get back just how it is
With all the other boys and girls
Yeah, the whole ...
Other world
And the way it stirs inside
And the why it never burns at night
And the way they make the climb
And the why they never pray for time
And the way I show surprise
And the why I never close my eyes
Yeah, just how it is
Sleep when I'm dead, you angels
I'll sleep when I'm dead, I said
Sleep when I'm dead, you angels
I'll sleep when I'm dead, I said
Sleep when I'm dead, you angels
I'll sleep when I'm dead, I said
Sleep when I'm dead, you angels
I'll sleep when I'm dead
But until then
Well, I should at least feel tired I think
Before I lay me down to dream
It could've been her golden hair
That turned my head
I didn't look to stare
Like I was hypnotized
But I was fixed
On how she pointed slowly down
And low I sank
And still without a sound
The world was far away
And I was tricked
It could've been her silver skin
That drew me on
I didn't mean to spin
Like I was mesmerised
But I was rapt
Without a name or memory
I waited there
Too scared to even breathe...
She sang... she sang... she sang...
She sang
'Tell me you love me
And beg me to stay'
She sang
'Tell me you love me
Before it's too late'
She sang
'Give me your life
Or I must fly away
And you will never hear this song again'
It could've been her crystal eyes
That made me stop
I didn't want to sigh
Like I was stupefied
But I was thrown
And at that point of no return
My whole life hanging
On a single word
To be hers evermore
Or mine alone...
She sang... she sang... she sang...
She sang
'Tell me you love me
And beg me to stay'
She sang
'Tell me you love me
Before it's too late'
She sang
'Give me your life
Or I must fly away
And you will never hear this song again...'
I am slowing down
As the years go by
I am sinking
So I trick myself
Like everybody else
The secrets I hide
Twist me inside
They make me weaker
So I trick myself
Like everybody else
I crouch in fear and wait
I'll never feel again...
If only I could remember
Anything at all
Nothing I do makes much sense
Say you don't really get me anymore
I wonder if you ever did... if you ever did at all?
Nothing I want means a lot
Say you don't understand me like before
I'm not sure if you ever did... if you ever did at all?
Nothing I think has a point
Say you don't quite believe me anymore
I wonder if you ever did... if you ever did at all?
Gets hard to guess the best way through
The thing to do if none of this is true
I wish I knew how to undo
The doubt I hide inside
I grew in you...
The knot I hide inside I tied in you...
Nothing I am shows the way
Say you don't seem to know me like before
I'm not sure if you ever did... if you ever did at all?
No nothing I do makes much sense
Say you don't really get me anymore
I wonder if you ever did... if you ever did at all?
Gets hard to guess the best way through
The thing to do if none of this is true
I wish I knew how to undo
The knot I tied in you...
When more or less the yes and no
Is all for show it isn't really so...
Look high and low where did we go?
You moved too fast or maybe I just moved too slow?
There's so much noise...
All the signal seems to fade away
Too much noise...
Or could be this is how it always sounds
With nothing left?
Ha ha ha!!!
Wake up in the dark
The aftertaste of anger in the back of my mouth
Spit it on the wall
And cough some more
And scrape my skin with razor blades
And make up in the new blood
And try to look so good
Follow me!
Make up in the new blood
And follow me to where the real fun is
Ha ha ha!!!
As stale and selfish as a sick dog
Spurning sex like an animal of god
I'll tear your red hair by the roots
And hold you blazing
Hold you cherished in the dead electric light
Your face
I'll never see you this way again
I captured it so perfectly
As if I knew you'd disappear away
Shake dog shake
You hit me again
You howl and hit me again
The same sharp pain
Wakes me in the dark
And cuts me from my throat to my pounding heart
My heart
My shaking heart
Shake dog shake
But we slept all night in the virgin's bed
And dreamed of death
And breathed like sick dogs
We slept all night in the virgin's bed
And breathed like death
And dreamed of sick dogs
Shake dog shake
Wake up wake up wake up!
Shake dog shake
Wake up wake up wake up!
Shake dog shake
Wake up in the new blood
Make up in the new blood
Shake up in the new blood
And follow me to where the real fun is...
Shake dog shake
Run around the chairs in your sunday dress
It's the best thing money can buy
or leave me on the stairs with my feet in the air
I think that I'm Jazzy like Christ
one more cigarette and the car burns slow
burning like the body Waiting at home
throw out your teeth and call all your friends
someone coughing took away my breath
inches of glass all shiny and new screaming laughing-
fucks me to death one more boy full of writing white mice
rolls over again in a london disguise
the blood bath woman in room number one
sex-eye-make-up tonight she just woke up today to do as she's told
do you want to touch her?
(La la la la la la la...)
I stopped the car
the other day
I had to ask a little
girl the way
I thought she'd show me
better if she got inside
And once inside
I thought I'd taker her
for a little ride...
So I see the children
feel the children
see the children
feel the children
all the time...
See the children
feel the children
see the children
feel the children
all the time...
I'm a supermarket Santa
underneath the Christmas tree
The little one all like to
come and sit upon my knee
I have to hold them tightly
'cause they fall to the floor
A little concern ain't
against the law...
So I see the children
feel the children
see the children
feel the children
all the time
See the children
(something something something??) all the time
I pass by the infant school
every single day
I push sweeties through the fence
but the kids just run way
I only want to talk with them
and join in their fun
But all the little children do
is run run run run run run run run...
(La la la la la la, la la la la la la..etc..)
See the children
Feel the children all the time..
See the children
Feel the children
See the children
Feel the children
All the time........
You know those things I said
All those things that made you cry
I didn't really mean that stuff
I didn't really mean that stuff
All I ever really mean
When I scream and shout the way I do
Is I don't know
I really don't
I'm just the same as you
You know those things I said
All those things that made you
Run away from me
I didn't mean a word
I didn't really mean I don't believe
All I ever really mean
When I rant and rave the way I do
Is I'm scared
I'm scared
I'm just as scared as you
And sometimes it's so hard
Not to just throw it all away
Sometimes it's so hard
Not to just throw it all away
Like all those things I said
All those things that made you cry
I didn't really mean that stuff
I didn't really mean to say goodbye
You know those things I said
All those things that made you
Run away from me
I didn't mean a word
I didn't really mean I don't believe
All I ever really mean
When I scream and shout the way I do
Is I'm scared
I'm scared
I'm just as scared as you
Round and round and round and round and round we go
Trying so hard to get a hold of everyone here
We've got to show how much we love them all
We squeak with idiot fake surprise
Flap our hands and flutter our eyes
And lap up all their stupid lies
We've got to love them all
And I really don't know why we do it like this
Imitation smiles and how 'it's wonderful to be here!'
I'm really not sure what we're so scared we'll miss
So round and round and round and round and round we go
Hanging on every shape they throw
It's strange the way we can't say no
Until we love them all...
So we laugh at every stupid joke
And smoke and choke and point and poke
And gag on countless lines...
How much we love them all!
And I really don't know why we do it like this
Imitation smiles and how 'it's wonderful to be here!'
I'm really not sure what we're so scared we'll miss
Maybe it's the sex with the drugs and the fools
Or maybe it's the promise of belief?
Maybe it's the pleasure and the pain of the cruel
Or maybe it's the promise of relief?
And I know that we've said it so many times before
'once more and never again'
But however many times that we've said it before
Once more is never the end...
No I won't do it again, I don't want to pretend
If it can't be like before I've got to let it end
I don't want what I was, I had a change of head
But maybe someday...
Yeah maybe someday
I've got to let it go and leave it gone
Just walk away, stop it going on
Get too scared to jump if I wait too long
But maybe someday...
I'll see you smile as you call my name
Start to feel, and it feels the same
And I know that maybe someday's come
Maybe someday's come...
Again!
So tell me someday's come tell me some days come again...
No I won't do it some more, doesn't make any sense
If it can't be like it was, I've got to let it rest
I don't want what I did, I had a change of tense
But maybe someday...
I'll see you smile as you call my name
Start to feel, and it feels the same
And I know that maybe someday's come
Maybe someday's come...
If I could do it again maybe just once more
Think I could make it work like I did it before
If I could try it out
If I could just be sure
That maybe someday is the last time
Yeah maybe someday is the end
Oh maybe someday is when it all stops
Or maybe someday always comes again...
Oh I really love it here!
Oh you've thought of it all!
Candlelight! coconut ice! and fur on the floor!
And I reeely love the way you wear your hair
And nothing more...
So tell me...
What is going on?
I was sure that I'd already gone...
But all you say is we're all spinning
It's really not just me
But that doesn't seem to help me figure out how I can be
A prisoner in pvc a minute after three...
It didn't used to be like this
Must be all that sleep I missed...
Yeah but I really love it here!
You've done everything to please!
Stolichnaya! banco de gaia! bad timing on tv!
And I reeely love the way you turn
Your smile into striptease...
But I'm still not sure what's going on
And I can't help feeling something's wrong
But you just say that we're all spinning
And it's really not just me
But that doesn't seem to help me figure out how I can be
Still wrapped inside your rubber as I wriggle at your feet...
No it didn't used to be like this
Must be something strange I kissed...
Maybe when my eyes were closed?
So tell me what is going on?
I'm sure that I've already gone...
But all you say is we're all spinning
And it's really not just me
But that doesn't seem to help me figure out how I can be
Still fixed inside your fantasy
A tv refugee...
So tell me what is going on?
Just can't help feeling something's wrong...
Or is it right this way I feel?
Someone get me out of here!!!
I'm waiting on my knees...
Go go go!
Push him away
No no no!
Don't let him stay...
He gets inside to stare at her
The seeping mouth
The mouth that knows
The secret you
Always you
A smile to hide the fear away
Oh! smear this man across the walls
Like strawberries and cream
It's the only way to be
Exactly the same clean room
Exactly the same clean bed
But I've stayed away too long this time
And I've got too big to fit this time...
[Originally by Jimi Hendrix]
Purple Haze was in my brain,
lately things don't seem the same,
actin' funny but I don't know why
'scuse me while I kiss the sky.
Purple Haze all around,
don't know if I'm coming up or down.
Am I happy or in misery?
Whatever it is, that girl put a spell on me.
Purple Haze was in my eyes,
don't know if it's day or night,
you've got me blowing, blowing my mind
is it tomorrow or just the end of time?
The innocence of sleeping children
Dressed in white
And slowly dreaming
Stops all time
I slow my steps and start to blur
So many years have filled my heart
I never thought I'd say those words
The further we go
And older we grow
The more we know
The less we show
The very first time I saw your face
I thought of a song
And quickly changed the tune
The very first time I touched your skin
I thought of a story
And rushed to reach the end
Too soon
Oh remember
Please
Don't change
And so the fall came
Thirteen years
A shiny ring
And how I could forget your name
The air no longer in my throat
Another perfect lie is choked
But it always feels the same
So they close together
Dressed in red and yellow
Innocent forever
Sleeping children in their blue soft rooms
Still dream...
The other one feeds on my hesitation
Grows inside of my trepidaton
Buries his claws in my dislocation
I whisper your name to lose control
I take a step and over my shoulder
His roll-white (???) eyes shine wilder and bolder
His snow-white thighs press closer and colder
Murmer in me to let him go
The other one thrives on my desperation
Fills me up with my intoxication
Sinks his teeth in my deviation
Suffering me to lose control
Hold my mouth taste his breath
Hissing breathing are the same (???)
Snakes its sound inside my head
Sickening me to let him go
I take a step and over my shoulder
His pain-white eyes shine wilder and bolder
His stain-white thighs press closer and colder
Murdering me to let him go
I try to resist the gruesome kiss
I twist to deny the blood-hot bliss
But I always feel myself becoming him
And the last thing I remember
It isn't me -- it isn't me -- it isn't me
But then it never is...
Day after day
I let you down
Promise you to change
Then change my mind
And every time I promise you
It will all be fine
It won't be like this next time
The days you wait
Turn into years
Always wait
Helpless tears
Hopeless nights
And all the fears
It will always be like this
You give me everything you have
Hoping it will someday be enough
To melt my heart
To make me fall in love
Day after day
I let you down
Promise you to change it all
Then change my mind
And every time I promise you
Soon be fine
It won't be like this next time
But tonight we play I think
The final act
I push too hard
And you crack
Walk away
Don't look back
This time you've really gone
You give me everything you have
Knowing it can never be enough
My heart's too old
Too hard
Too cold
For your love
Electric line
Racing time
Fire down the wall
Spinning around
The killing ground
It makes you look so small
Henna years
The stinging tears
Flesh on the railway track
The screaming queen
On the TV screen
Is never coming back
Don't suffer no more
Just step inside and listen
Listen to my pillbox tales
Your special days
Your winning ways
You're living out the past
You're lying lies
And tying ties
And running much too fast
But you feel so sick
If you run too quick
And wishing every day
Wishing you were all alone
Wishing you were years away
Don't suffer no more
Just step inside and listen
Listen to my pillbox tales
When we look back at it all as I know we will
You and me, wide eyed
I wonder...
Will we really remember how it feels to be this alive?
And I know we have to go
I realize we only get to stay so long
Always have to go back to real lives
Where we belong
Where we belong
Where we belong
When we think back to all this and I'm sure we will
Me and you, here and now
Will we forget the way it really is
Why it feels like this and how?
And we always have to go I realize
We always have to say goodbye
Always have to go back to real lives
But real lives are the reason why
We want to live another life
We want to feel another time
Another time...
Yeah another time
To feel another time...
When we look back at it all as I know we will
You and me, wide eyed
I wonder...
Will we really remember how it feels to be this alive?
And I know we have to go
I realize we always have to turn away
Always have to go back to real lives
But real lives are why we stay
For another dream
Another day
For another world
Another way
For another way...
One last time before it's over
One last time before the end
One last time before it's time to go again...
I've been up for days
And I feel like a menagerie
I'm scratching 'til I bleed
And I keep on seeing
Imaginary lemurs
In the street
In the middle of the day
But as long as I can breathe
Then I know I'll be OK
I'll be alright
I'm out of mind
I'm out of sight
I'm out of sight
I've been up for days
And I feel like a laboratory rat
Inside a maze
And I reel in the monotony of
Screaming
At the moon
In the middle of the day
But as long as I can see it
Then I know I'll be OK
I'll be fine
I'm out of sight
I'm completely out of mind
Completely out of mind
Alright
Come and watch me shake tonight
Mouth wide
Soft and bright
Bite my hand and scream
Alright
Come and watch me break tonight
Push deep
Out of sight
Bite my hand and hold on tight...
A disease is under my fingernails
it stains me like a tattoo
Back on the Rack
aching w/ time
your face is familiar
from another crime
and we could swim, we could swim
my little fishes and me
Overgrown senses prickle + spark
the flesh is in the palm of my hand
Back on the Rack
love under will
your face is familiar
from another kill
A tongue explodes into my mouth
a taste of coma and tears
Back on the Rack
my shape of rage
your face is familiar
from another cage
and we could swim...
I really don't know what I'm doing here
I really think I should've gone to bed tonight but...
Just one drink
And there're some people to meet you
I think that you'll like them
I have to say we do
And i promise in less than than an hour we will honestly go...
Now why don't I just get you another
While you just say hello...
Yeah just say hello...
So I'm clutching it tight
Another glass in my hand
And my mouth and the smiles
Moving up as I stand up
Too close and too wide
And the smiles are too bright
And I breathe in too deep
And my head's getting light
But the air is getting heavier and it's closer
And I'm starting to sway
And the hands all on my shoulders don't have names
And they won't go away
So here I go
Here I go again...
Falling into strangers
And it's only just eleven
And I'm staring like a child
Until someone slips me heaven
And I take it on my knees
Just like a thousand times before
And I get transfixed
That fixed
And I'm just looking at the floor
Just looking at the floor
Yeah i look at the floor...
And I'm starting to laugh
Like an animal in pain
And I've got blood on my hands
And I've got hands in my brain
And the first short retch
Leaves me gasping for more
And I stagger over screaming
On my way to the floor
And I'm back on my back
With the lights and the lies in my eyes
And the colour and the music's too loud
And my head's all the wrong size
So here I go
Here I go again...
Yeah I laugh and I jump
And I sing and I laugh
And I dance and I laugh
And I laugh and I laugh
And I can't seem to think
Where this is
Who I am
Why I'm keeping this going
Keep pouring it out
Keep pouring it down
Keeping it going
Keep pouring it down
And the way the rain comes down hard...
That's the way I feel inside...
I can't take it anymore
This it I've become
This is it like I get
When my life's going numb
I just keep moving my mouth
I just keep moving my feet
I say I'm loving you to death
Like I'm losing my breath
And all the smiles that I wear
And all the games that I play
And all the drinks that I mix
And I drink until I'm sick
And all the faces I make
And all the shapes that I throw
And alll the people I meet
And all the words that I know
Makes me sick to the heart
Oh I feel so tired...
And the way the rain comes down hard...
That's how I feel inside...
It doesn't matter if we all die
Ambition in the back of a black car
In a high building there is so much to do
Going home time
A story on the radio...
Something small falls out of your mouth
And we laugh
A prayer for something better
A prayer
For something better
Please love me
Meet my mother...
But the fear takes hold
Creeping up the stairs in the dark
Waiting for the death blow
Stroking your hair as the patriots are shot
Fighting for freedom on the television
Sharing the world with slaughtered pigs
Have we got everything?
She struggles to get away...
The pain
And the creeping feeling
A little black haired girl
Waiting for Saturday
The death of her father pushing her
Pushing her white face into the mirror
Aching inside me
And turn me round
Just like the old days
Just like the old days
Caressing an old man
And painting a lifeless face
Just a piece of new meat in a clean room
The soldiers close in under a yellow moon
All shadows and deliverance
Under a black flag
A hundred years of blood
Crimson
The ribbon tightens round my throat
I open my mouth
And my head bursts open
A sound like a tiger thrashing in the water
Thrashing in the water
Over and over
We die one after the other
Over and over
We die one after the other after the other...
It feels like a hundred years
One hundred years...
I don't think I'm any closer now
Than I was at fifteen
I still don't know what I really want
Or how I really feel
Sometimes I think I've seen too much
Sometimes nothing at all
And sometimes I think I just forgot
What I was looking for
But I still need to believe in you
I still need to know you'll never
Never give up
I believe in you...
So how can you ever let
My hope turn to despair?
How can you ever stop
Telling me you care?
But I still need to believe in you
I still need to know you'll never
Never give up
I believe in you...
So how can you ever let
My hope turn to despair?
Tell me you believe it too
Tell me that you care
How can you ever let
My hope turn to despair?
How can you ever stop
Pretending?
Hello image
Sing me a line from your favourite song
Twist and turn
But you're trapped in the light
All the directions were wrong
You'll fall in love with somebody else
Tonight
Help yourself
But tell me the words
Before you fade away
You reveal all the secrets
To remember the end
And escape someday
You'll fall in love with somebody else
Again tonight
Take a step
You move in time
But it's always back...
The reasons are clear
Your face is drawn
And ready for the next attack
She wants so much to please me she always does it right
She wants so much to please me all day and every night
She doesn't read the stars
She has no time for fate
She doesn't see the signs
She has no time to wait
She is trying to be the one for me
Trying to be enough for me
She is trying to be the one for me
Trying to be in touch
She is trying to be the one for me
Trying to be enough for me
She is trying to be the one for me
Trying to be in love
I want so much to need her I never turn away
I want so much to need her all night and every day
I never read the stars
I have no time for fate
I never see the signs
I have no time to wait
I am trying to be the one for her
Trying to be enough for her
I am trying to be the one for her
Trying to be in touch
I am trying to be the one for her
Trying to be enough for her
I am trying to be the one for her
Trying to be in love
We want so much to have this we hold each other tight
Yeah we want so much to have this always and everytime
But we don't need to read the stars
We don't need the time for fate
We don't need to see the signs
To know it's all too late
She will never be the one for me
She will never be enough
She will never be the one for me
We will never be in touch
I will never be the one for her
I will never be enough
I will never be the one for her
We will never be in love
We will never be in love
We will never be
In love
You look so cool
Oh I don't think!
Just fall over
Be like me
Mr. Pink Eyes
Your mind is blank
And mine's away
Oh you can't see
You can't smell
Mr. Pink Eyes
It's got to be jazz!
That's what she wants
You are so vile
Mr. Pink Eyes
Oh give me a look
Give me a look
Or sit on my head
Or jump on my foot
Do something!
Here comes the book
the book of rules
If you play this game
you won't stay the same
you could win your golden teeth
be a spinning top
Use a riding crop
Mr alphabet says
"Smile like a weasel
as I cover you...
cover you in treacle"
We all know impatience
is a sin..so do as you're
told to do, it's so rewarding to...
and you could win the tin man's heart
be a chiming clock
lie on the chopping block
Mr. Alphabet says
"Give me all your money
Just to cover you
cover you in honey"
Don't be afraid
There's no marmalade
Don't be afraid
I wouldn't even dream of it!
Your body grows more beautiful
with every move you make
Your body grows more beautiful
with every bite I take
You won't believe I love you
it's too stupid for words
So I lick your trembling lips
and use your hands to feed the birds
I laid with you for hours
staring at your face
I laid with you for hours
remembering your taste
And when the morning came
it splattered us in light
I think I left you sleeping there
I think I left you sleeping
Mouth to Mouth - I asked you to stay
Mouth to Mouth - but you're slipping away
Down seven stairs and first on the left
Arch your back and hold your breath
A million fat girls and a million fat man
Couldn't put me back together again.
For a second of your life
Tell me that it's true
Waiting for a sign
It's all I want of you
Your heart hides a secret
'the promise of what is'
...or something more than this?
Just a second of your time
Any one will do
The taste of any 'other'
Is all I want from you
Offer me the world
And how can I resist
Something more than this?
Make-believe in magic
Make-believe in dreams
Make-believe in possible
Nothing as it seems
To see touch taste smell hear
But never know if it's real...
For a second of your life
Tell me if it's true
Anywhere beyond
It's all I want of you
On your lips lies a secret
'the promise of a kiss'
...or something more than this?
Just a second of your time
Any one will do
To know of any 'other'
Is all I want from you
Giving me the world
Know I can't resist
Something more than this
Make-believe in magic
Make-believe in dreams
Make-believe in possible
Nothings as it seems
And never really understand
What anything means...
Another second of my life
Not knowing if it's true
Make-believe in nothing
It's all I want of you
Whisper me the secret
Whisper me...
'there is always something other...
Something more than this'
The sun is up
I'm so happy I could scream!
And there's nowhere else in the world I'd rather be
Than here with you
It's perfect
It's all I ever wanted
I almost can't believe that it's for real
I really don't think it gets any better than this
Vanilla smile
And a gorgeous strawberry kiss!
Birds sing we swing
Clouds drift by and everything is like a dream
It's everything I wished
Never guessed it got this good
Wondered if it ever would
Really didn't think it could
Do it again?
I know we should!!!
The sun is up
I'm so fizzy I could burst!
You wet through and me headfirst
Into this is perfect
It's all I ever wanted
Ow! it feels so big it almost hurts!
Never guessed it got this good
Wondered if it ever would
Really didn't think it could
Do it some more?
I know we should!!!
Say it will always be like this
The two of us together
It will always be like this
Forever and ever and ever...
Never guessed it got this good
Wondered if it ever would
Really didn't think it could
Do it all the time?
I know that we should!!!
I went into the butchers
I said wanted wanted wanted some...
Meat
Pass me some of that steak over there
It looks so...
Sweet
I lost my heart to a meathook!
That butcher man was some...
Lady
He really stole my heart
He hung me up on his meathook
A real piece of...
Slaughterhouse art
I lost my heart to a meathook!
There's a meathook in my heart
Tearing me all apart
Ripping out my insides
But I just can't get away
I can't leave my
Meathook
Say it's the same sun spinning in the same sky
Say it's the same stars streaming in the same night
Tell me it's the same world whirling through the same space
Tell me it's the same time tripping through the same day
So say it's the same house and nothing in the house has changed
Yeah say it's the same room and nothing in the room is strange
Oh tell me it's the same boy burning in the same bed
Tell me it's the same blood breaking in the same head
Say it's the same taste taking down the same kiss
Say it's the same you
Say it's the same you and it's always been like this
Say it's the same you
Say it's the same you and it always and forever is
Say it's the same you
Say it's the same you and it's always been like this
Say it's the same you
Say it's the same you and it always and forever is
Say it's the same you
Say it's the same you
Yeah tell me it's all the same
This is how it's always been
But if nothing has changed...
Then it must mean...
But the sun is cold - the sky is wrong
The stars are black - the night is gone
The world is still - the space is stopped
The time is out - the day is dropped
The house is dark - the room is scarred
The boy is stiff - the bed is hard
The blood is thick - the head is burst
The taste is dry - the kiss is thirst
And it's not the same you
It's not the same you
No it never was like this
It's not the same you
It's not the same you and it never really is
It's not the same you
It's not the same you
No it never was like this
It's not the same you
It's not the same you and it never really is
It's not the same you
It's not the same you
Oh it's not the same
This isn't how it's always been
Everything has to have changed...
Or it's me...
A nightmare of you
Of death in the pool
Wakes me up at quarter to three
I'm lying on the floor of the night before
With a stranger lying next to me
A nightmare of you
Of death in the pool
I see no further now than this dream
The trembling hands of the trembling man
Hold my mouth
To hold in a scream
I try to think
To make it slow
If only here is where I go
If this is real
I have to see
I turn on fire
And next to me...
It looks good!
It tastes like nothing on earth
It looks good!
It tastes like nothing on earth
Its so smooth it even feels like skin
It tells me how it feels to be new
It tells me how it feels to be new
A thousand voices whisper it true
It tells me how it feels to be new
And every voice belongs
Every voice belongs to you
Say this is it
Don't say maybe
Don't say no
Say this is it
Don't say hold on
Don't say slow
Say this is it
Don't say next time
Don't say when
Say this is it
Don't say later
No don't say then
Just say yes! do it now!
Let yourself go!
Just leap! don't look!
Or you'll never know
If you love it
You might really love it...
If you love it
You might really love it!
Oh come on and love it!
Yeah this is it
Don't be cautious
Don't think twice
This is it
Don't play it safe
Don't put it on ice
Yeah this is it
Don't chew it over
No don't kick it around
This is it
Don't wait and see
Don't try to work it out
Just say yes! do it now!
Let yourself go!
Just leap! don't look!
Or you'll never know...
If you love it
You might really love it...
If you love it
You might really love it!
So don't tell me
It could all go wrong
No don't tell me
It could all be a mess
Oh don't tell me
It could all be a waste of time
Just say oui! si! sim! da! ja! yow! igen! kylla!
Just say yes!
'Show me how you do that trick
The one that makes me scream' she said
'The one that makes me laugh' she said
And threw her arms around my neck
'Show me how you do it and I promise you
I promise that I'll run away with you
I'll run away with you'
Spinning on that dizzy edge
I kissed her face and kissed her head
And dreamed of all the different ways I had
To make her glow
'Why are you so far away?' she said
'Why won't you ever know that I'm in love with you?
That I'm in love with you?'
Soft and only
Lost and lonely
Strange as angels
Dancing in the deepest oceans
Twisting in the water
You're just like a dream...
Daylight licked me into shape
I must have been asleep for days
And moving lips to breathe her name
I opened up my eyes
And found myself alone
Alone
Alone above a raging sea
That stole the only girl I loved
And drowned her deep inside of me
Soft and only
Lost and lonely
Just like heaven
She follows me down to the sound of the sea
Slips to the sand and stares up at me
'is this how it happens? is this how it feels?
Is this how a star falls?
Is this how a star falls?'
The night turns as I try to explain
Irresistable attraction and orbital plane
'or maybe it's more like a moth to a flame?'
She brushes my face with her smile
'forget about stars for a while... '
As she melts...
Meanwhile millions of miles away in space
The incoming comet brushes jupiter's face
And disappears away with barely a trace...
'was that it? was that the jupiter show?
It kinda wasn't quite what I'd hoped for you know... '
And pulling away she stands up slow
And round her the night turns
Round her the night turns...
Yeah that was it
That was the jupiter crash
Drawn too close and gone in a flash
Just a few bruises in the region of the splash...
She left to the sound of the sea
She just drifted away from me
So much for gravity...
Don't say what you mean
You might spoil your face
If you walk in the crowd
You won't leave any trace
It's always the same
You're jumping someone else's train
It won't take you long
To learn the new smile
You have to adapt
Or you'll be out of style
It's always the same
You're jumping someone else's train
If you pick up on it quick
You can say you were there
Again and again and again
You're jumping someone else's train
It's the latest wave
That you've been craving for
The old ideal was getting such a bore
Now you're back in line
Going not quite quite as far
But in half the time
Everyone's happy
They're finally all the same
Because everyone's jumping
Everybody else's train
Jumping someone else's train
Jumping someone else's train
Jumping someone else's train
I get up
And it's over
It's always over
It's raining and I'm burned
And it's late and you're gone
And I can barely remember
Anything I did or said
Or how I lost another week
There must be something going on...
A nagging sense of shame
I can't explain
An acrid taste of smoke and blood
And tears and drugs
And every inch of me is raw
And it's always fucking over
It's raining and I'm blind
And it's late and you're gone
I can't do this anymore
Keep getting there
It's over
It's always over
It's raining and I'm cracked
And it's late and you're out
And I can't quite remember
Anything I did or said
Or how I lost another year
There must be something coming down...
A sweetly sour unease
It's like a tease
A broken dream of guilt and fear
And spit and steel
And every piece of me in pain
And it's always fucking over
It's raining and I'm cold
And it's late and you're out again
Run my head around it
Like I know I really miss her
'But I always want to do it now'
She told me in a whisper
I try so hard to place it
Wonder why I really feel it
When to send the pretty flowers
Maybe helps her to believe it
Run my tongue along it
Oh the taste is something sicker
'But you know you have to do it now'
She told me in a whisper
It only takes a second
But the second lasts forever
'Close your eyes
And let me take you down... '
And I get up
And it's over
It's always fucking over
It's raining and I'm wrecked
And it's late and you're...
No I can't remember
Anything I did or said
Or how I lost another life...
I lost another life
Oh I can't do this anymore
I can't do this anymore....
I want to be old
And creek by the fire
I want to smell of rotting wood
It's all I desire
I want my joints to seize up
I want my legs to ache
I want my eyesight to fail
I want my skin to flake
To be old
I want to be old
I want false teeth
And not be able to chew
I want to be senile
A centigenarian fool
I want lots of wrinkles
Want my hearing to go
I want to be ignored
And I want to be slow
To be old
I want to be old
I want to be old
And creek by the fire
I want to smell of rotting wood
It's all I desire
I want my joints to seize up
I want my legs to ache
I want my eyesight to fail
I want my skin to flake
To be old
I want to be old
I want false teeth
And not be able to chew
I want to be senile
A centigenarian fool
I want lots of wrinkles
Want my hearing to go
I want to be ignored
And I want to be slow
To be old
I want to be old
I know that I don't love you but I tell you that I do
But I only buy you flowers if I want anything from you
You say that if you'll leave me it will put me on a shelf
But I don't need you girl
I just need myself.
I just need myself
You trust in all my lies
you believe me when I say
that I'll be with you forever
so you let me have my way
I say "you can be my baby"
and I'll lavish you with wealth
but I'll make it that I leave you
'cause I just need myself.
I know that I don't love you but I tell you that I do
But I only buy you flowers if I want anything from you
You think that if you'll leave me it will put me on a shelf
But I don't need you girl
I just need myself.
I just need myself (3x)
I just need.
I dig you
You dig me
We dig each other
That's groovy
(oh yeah)
You want to know why I hate you?
Well I'll try and explain...
You remember that day in Paris
When we wandered through the rain
And promised to each other
That we'd always think the same
And dreamed that dream
To be two souls as one
And stopped just as the sun set
And waited for the night
Outside a glittering building
Of glittering glass and burning light...
And in the road before us
Stood a weary greyish man
Who held a child upon his back
A small boy by the hand
The three of them were dressed in rags
And thinner than air
And all six eyes stared fixedly on you
The father's eyes said 'Beautiful!
How beautiful you are!'
The boy's eyes said
'How beautiful!
She shimmers like a star!'
The child's eyes uttered nothing
But a mute and utter joy
And filled my heart with shame for us
At the way we are
I turned to look at you
To read my thought upon your face
And gazed so deep into your eyes
So beautiful and strange
Until you spoke
And showed me understanding is a dream
'I hate these people staring
Make them go away from me!'
The father's eyes said 'Beautiful!
How beautiful you are!'
The boy's eyes said
'How beautiful! She glitters like a star!'
The child's eyes uttered nothing
But quiet and utter joy
And stilled my heart with sadness
For the way we are...
And this is why I hate you
And how I understand
That no-one ever knows or loves another
Or loves another
The first time I saw lightning strike
I saw it underground
Six deep feet below the street
The sky came crashing down
For a second that place was lost in space
Then everything went black
I left that basement burning
And I never went back
The second time I saw it strike
I saw it at sea
It lit up all the fish like rain
And rained them down on me
For a second that boat was still afloat
Then everything went black
I left it underwater
And I never went back
Hey hey hey!!!
But I like it when that lightning comes
Hey hey hey!!!
Yes Ilike it a lot
Hey hey hey!!!
Yes I'm jumping like a jumping jack
Dancing screaming itching squealing fevered
Feeling hot hot hot!!!
The third time I saw lightning strike
It hit me in bed
It threw me around
And left me for dead
For a second that room was on the moon
Then everything went black
I left that house on fire
And I never went back
Hey hey hey!!!
But I like it when that lightning comes
Hey hey hey!!!
Yes Ilike it a lot
Hey hey hey!!!
Yes I'm jumping like a jumping jack
Dancing screaming itching squealing fevered
Feeling hot hot hot!!!
Every time I try to tell you how I feel inside
I always make the same mistakes
Tie myself in knots
Sometimes even make you cry
When all I ever want to say
Is nobody else in the whole wide world
Makes me feel this way
Nobody else in the whole wide world
Takes my breath away
Makes me feel so strange inside
Dazed confused and starry-eyed
I couldn't love you more
Makes me feel the wrong way round
Inside out and upside down
I couldn't love you more
And every time I try to tell you what I really mean
Nothing seems to come out right
End up murmuring foolishly
It makes me want to scream
How I get so stupefied
There's nobody else in the whole wide world
Makes me feel this way
There's nobody else in the whole wide world
Takes my breath away
Makes me feel so strange inside
Open mouthed and mystified
I couldn't love you more
Makes me feel so upside down
Muddle-headed round and round
I couldn't love you more
Makes me feel so strange inside
Dazed confused and starry-eyed
I couldn't love you more
Makes me feel the wrong way round
Inside out and upside down
I couldn't love you more
Spit out the shout of a warning
Death is an honour with doubts
So you live in the end
And you mistrust the start
Because you don't think it counts
But you'll pay for yourself
You'll pay for yourself
You're just a heroin face
You see a heroin face in the mirror
And someone is clutching your breath
And you believe in the needle of night
You're only doing your best
But you'll pay for yourself
You'll pay for yourself
You believe in the needle of night
And someone is clutching your breath
So you mistrust the start
By always running away
But you'll never come back
You're just a heroin face
Heroin face
[Originally by The Doors]
Hello, I love you
Won't you tell me your name?
Hello, I love you
Let me jump in your game
Hello, I love you
Won't you tell me your name?
Hello, I love you
Let me jump in your game
She's walking down the street
Blind to every eye she meets
Do you think you'll be the guy
To make the queen of the angels sigh?
Hello, I love you
Won't you tell me your name?
Hello, I love you
Let me jump in your game
Hello, I love you
Won't you tell me your name?
Hello, I love you
Let me jump in your game
She holds her head so high
Like a statue in the sky
Her arms are wicked, and her legs are long
When she moves my brain screams out this song
Sidewalk crouches at her feet
Like a dog that begs for something sweet
Do you hope to make her see, you fool?
Do you hope to pluck this dusky jewel?
Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello
I want you
Hello
I need my baby
Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello
Never say it's over
Never say the end
Anytime you stop just start again
Never say give up
Never say give in
You always have to fight to win
However much it hurts
However much it takes
Believe and all your dreams will all come true
However hard it gets
However much it aches
Always believe in me
As I believe in you
To never say too late
Never say it's done
Make me know for real you are the one
The one that never turns
Never walks away
The one that I can trust to always stay
Never say surrender
Never say die
You only ever get there if you try
Never say give up
Never say give in
You always have to fight to win
However much it hurts
However much it takes
Believe that all your dreams can all come true
However hard it gets
However much it aches
Always believe in me
As I believe in you
Never say if only
Never say regret
Only the weak remember to forget
Never say it's over
Never say the end
Never say never again
However much it hurts
However much it takes
Believe and all your dreams will all come true
However hard it gets
However much it aches
Believe in me
As I believe in you
Nothing ever gets in my way
Nothing ever gets on my mind
Nothing ever makes me stop to think about
Nothing of the kind
Nothing ever loses me sleep
Nothing ever wins my heart
Nothing ever makes me want to sing along
And nothing makes me want to start
If I'm falling down a mountain
Then I pick myself up
If I crash into an iceberg
I don't give a frightful look around..
If I am burning then I put myself out
I'm so completely full
I scare the world
Oh all the world
All inside out
Just look around...
Nothing ever puts me out
Nothing ever pulls me in
Nothing ever makes me want to jump
And nothing makes me want to begin
Nothing ever gets me down
Nothing ever gets me uptight
And nothing ever makes me run around
And nothing makes me feel I might
If I'm hanging from a peach tree
Then I cut myself down
And if I look into the sun
I just turn up the sound
And if I swallow deathcap loverooms
Then I spit them right out
I'm so completely full
I scare the world
Yeah all the world
Inside out
Nothing ever gets in my way
Nothing ever gets on my mind
Nothing ever makes me stop to think about
Nothing of the kind
Harold and Joe
Go go go!!!
Yeah...
Sing birds sing...
I'll never understand
(Come closer and I'll whisper)
Who was that standing in the rain?
If only I could remember
What he said...
(And how it all began)
Happy the man
With the face that smiles!
But it has to have a name
(Something strong
Something faithful
Something pure... )
How does he look so safe?
He'll never
Never turn away
Happy the man...
Simon is twenty in half an hour, so this is for him.
Those down days
When you felt so young
And everything seemed
You saw the people
Around You
Getting old
You wake up
The teenage yearn is
Gone for you
It happens to others
It happens all the time
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
The candles on the cake
Waiting to be blown
Wish I was
An other
I never felt like this with anyone before
You only have to smile and I'm dizzy
You make the world go round
A thousand times an hour
Just touch my head
And send me spinning
I never felt like this with anyone before
You show me colours and I'm crying
You hold my eyes in yours
And open up the world
I can't believe all this
I want to keep this feeling
Deep inside of me
I want you always in my heart
You are everything
I never felt like this with anyone before
You fill my head all full of rainbows
And all the rainbows end
Is every step you take
Just to be with you forever
I want to keep this feeling
Deep inside of me
I want you always in my heart
You are everything
Oh you know how it is
Wake up feeling blue
And everything that could be wrong is
Including you
Black clouds and rain and pain in your head
And all you want to do is stay in bed
But if you do that you'll be missing the world
Because it doesn't stop turning whatever you heard
If you do that you'll be missing the world
You have to get up get out and get gone!
Yeah you know how it is
Wake up feeling green
Sick as a dog and six times as mean
You don't want to sing you don't want to play
You don't want to swing you don't want to sway
All you want to do is nothing
On a day like today
But if you do that you'll be missing the world
Because it doesn't stop turning whatever you heard
If you do that you'll be missing the world
You have to get up get out and get gone!
Yeah get up get out and have some fun
You have to get up get out and get gone!
Yeah get up get out and get it on
Get up get out and get gone!
You have to get up get out and get living
Yeah this is really it...
So you know how it is
Wake up feeling grey
Nothing much to think and nothing much to say
Don't want to talk don't want to try
Don't want to think don't want to know
Who what where when or why...
Oh but you do that and you're missing the world
Yeah it's happening right now whatever you heard
You do that and you're missing the world
You have to get up get out and get gone!
Yeah get up get out and have some fun
You have to get up get out and get gone!
Yeah get up get out and get it on
Get up get out and get gone!
You have to get up get out and get living
Yeah this is really it!
Get away from me
Get your fingers out of my face
This room's so hot
This room's so hot
I break the walls
Get away from me
Leave me alone
Like the pig on the stairs
Hanging
In a groovy purple shirt
Gasping for air
I'm gasping for air
I'm gasping for love
I'm gasping for air...
Slit the cats like cheese
Then eat the sweet sticky things
Suck harder!
Suck harder!
Suck your insides
Insides out!
Blood thick swimming round your feet
As you're choking
Choking
Choking on the fleshy words
Give me it give me it give me it
Deaden my glassy mind
Give me it give me it
Make me blind
One step back and one step down
And slip the needles in my side...
My head is cold
My hands are cold
My heart is cold
My heart is black
And stops every fucking night
Every night
I wait until it stops...
Sing birds sing birds sing birds sing
Get away...
Stop my flight to fight
And die
And take a stand to change my life
So savage with red desperation
I clench my hands
You draw your claws
A hidden rage consumes my heart
As fuelled by years of wasted time
I close my eyes
And tense myself
And screaming
Throw myself in fury over the edge
And into your blood
Tear at flesh
And rip at skin
And smash at doubt
I have to break you
Fury drives my vicious blows
I see you fall but still I strike you
Again and again
Your body falls
The movement is sharp and clear and pure
And gone
I stop and kneel beside you
Drained of everything but pain
Screaming throw myself in fury
Over the edge and into your blood
Kiss you once and see you writhe
Hold you close and hear you cry
Kiss your eyes and finish your life
Finish your life
Again and again
Your body falls
The movement is sharp and clear and pure
And gone
I stop and kneel beside you
Knowing I'll murder you again tonight
Ein zwei drei vier...
Steve!
Oh yeah!
Platinum all the way!
Do the Hansa!
Etc etc etc...
Every time we do this
I fall for her
Wave after wave after wave
It's all for her
'I know this can't be wrong' I say
(And I'll lie to keep her happy)
'As long as I know that you know
That today I belong right here with you'
Right here with you...
And so we watch the sun come up
From the edge of the deep green sea
And she listens like her head's on fire
Like she wants to believe in me
So I try
'Put your hands in the sky
Surrender
Remember
We'll be here forever
And we'll never say goodbye... '
I've never been so
Colourfully-see-through-head before
I've never been so
Wonderfully-me-you-want-some-more
And all I want is to keep it like this
You and me alone
A secret kiss
And don't go home
Don't go away
Don't let this end
Please stay...
Not just for today...
'Never never never never never let me go' she says
'Hold me like this for a hundred thousand million days'
But suddenly she slows
And looks down at my breaking face
'Why do you cry?
What did I say?'
'But it's just rain' I smile
Brushing my tears away...
I wish I could just stop
I know another moment will break my heart
Too many tears
Too many times
Too many years I've cried over you
How much more can we use it up?
Drink it dry?
Take this drug?
Looking for something forever gone
But something we will always want...
'Why why why are you letting me go' she says
'I feel you pulling back
I feel you changing shape'
And just as I'm breaking free
She hangs herself in front of me
Slips her dress like a flag to the floor
And hands in the sky
Surrenders it all...
I wish I could just stop
I know another moment will break my heart
Too many tears
Too many times
Too many years I've cried for you
It's always the same
Wake up in the rain
Head in pain
Hung in shame
A different name
Same old game
Love in vain
And miles and miles and miles and miles and miles
Away from home again...
I can't believe it, I must be dreaming
She turns the sound down
Says, 'I am heaving
This is a freakshow'
And I am screaming
She spins the world round
I want to stop
Bittersweet again
Her opening move
Down and out in black
Soft shiny and smooth
Looks like the alien
Crowd got groove
She burns her name into my arm
But I can never get through
To play the game
She's trying to lose
Her ultraviolet makes it
Harder to choose
Looks like the edge
Of the earth got moved
She blurs a way across the floor
I spin to swallow the view
And it's the same sway
Yeah, it's the same slide
It's the same stare, oh
It's the same smile
Yeah, it's the same but
It's not quite right
Oh, it's insane
She shakes like a freak
Stuck in the middle
Of the room for a week
Looks like the only way
To get on the beat
Is take her up on how to swing
But I am missing my feet
And it's the same sway
Yeah, it's the same slide
It's the same stare, oh
It's the same smile
Yeah, it's the same but
It's not quite right
I'm in a step, out
She two more steps down
For three steps up, clap
And go around, ow
It makes my head buzz
She wants to come now
I try to stop
Always infra dig her
Finishing move
Up and down in black
Soft shiny and smooth
Looks like the alien
Crowd got groove
She cuts a number out my arm
But I can never get through
To play this game
She's trying to lose
The stuff from Mars
Makes it harder to choose
Looks like the final frontier got moved
She blurs a way across the floor
I spin to swallow the view
And it's the same sway
Yeah, it's the same slide
It's the same strip, oh
It's the same smile
Yeah, it's the same
But it's not quite right
I can't believe it, I must be dreaming
She turns the lights up
Says she is leaving
This is a freakshow
And I am beaten
She spins the world round
[Originally by Jimi Hendrix]

Foxy Foxy
Foxy Foxy
Foxy Foxy
Slowly fading blue
The eastern hollows catch
The dying sun
Night time follows
Silent and black
Mirror pool mirrors
The lonely place
Where I meet you
See your head
In the fading light
And through the dark
Your eyes shine bright
And burn like fire
Burn like fire in Cairo
Burn like fire
Burn like fire in Cairo
Shifting crimson veil
Silken hips slide
Under my hand
Swollen lips whisper my name
And I yearn
You take me in your arms
And start to burn
F.I.R.E.I.N.C.A.I.R.O
Then the heat disappears
And the mirage
Fades away...
F.I.R.E.I.N.C.A.I.R.O
Burn like a fire in Cairo
Burn like a fire
Blaze like a fire in Cairo
Blaze like a fire
Flare with a wonderful light
Like a fire in Cairo
Burn like fire
Burn like
Fire in Cairo
Like a feeling that I'm down
Deep inside my heart
Like I'm looking out through
Splitting blood red
Windows in my heart
From a higher up than heaven
And a harder down than stone
Shake the fear that always clawing
Pulls me clawing down alone
As I spitting splitting blood red
Breaking windows in my heart
And the past is taunting
Fear of ghosts
Is forcing me apart
And the further I get
From the things that I care about
The less I care about
How much further away I get...
I am lost again
With everything gone
And more alone
Than I have ever been
I expect you to understand
To feel it too
But I know that even if you will
You cannot ever help me
Nor can I
Ever help you
Christabel strips
And slips like a dream
Breaking ice with arms that gleam with pain
Disdain...
She throws her head
And glides against the stream
Throwing me her bravest smile
Defiant
Glittering
Shivering guile
'Catching a cold is quick this time
But fish?...
Fish may take a while... '
Christabel dips and slips from me
And hand pushed deep inside is suddenly free
Triumphant
Reluctantly
Struggling six legs held up for me to see
'Don't be so scared
It's nothing new
It's the same old game
Only fun with two... '
But fast and over and over
'I can't play this game with you'
Everything she tries to tell me
Leaves me open mouthed and still
Foolishly arrange tomorrow
The way I always will
Christabel trips
And grips my hand
But never to be saved...
For a second I understand
And I fall with her...
'I'll never leave you
Love you
See you change into the man I want
But it's not for long this thing
It's not for long... '
Hey mister a review
A word for salad
Is written by my friend
In penman
He uses long words
Like semiotics and semolina
But I counted
With
Enigma and metropolis
The lads go rampant on insignificant symbolism
And compound this with rude soulless obliqueness
Everything's coming to a grinding halt
I use such long words
It's all clever stuff
All this charming childish fiddling about aims for the anti-image
But it naturally creates the perfectly malleable image
Tantalizing enigma
Of the Cure
They try to take
Everything
But the Cure really
They're just trying to sell us something
Their product is more artificial than most
This is perhaps part of their
Masterplan
But it seems more like their naivity
Everything's coming to a grinding halt
Everything's coming to a grinding halt
Everything's coming to a grinding halt
Note how really songs what are made of (?)
Murk and marshes
Tawdry images
Inane realisations
Dull dull dull epigrams
Sometimes they sound like an avant-garde John Otway
Or an ugly spirit
Toy drumming
Sprightly bass
Limited guitar riff
Check the sheet out of my favorite book
People don't forget the penman
It's just that in 1979 people shouldn't be allowed to get away with things like this
I say.
[Instrumental]
'so we meet again!' and I offer my hand
All dry and english slow
And you look at me and I understand
Yeah it's a look I used to know
'three long years... and your favourite man...
Is that any way to say hello?'
And you hold me...
Like you'll never let me go
'oh c'mon and have a drink with me
Sit down and talk awhile... '
'oh I wish I could... and I will!
But now I just don't have the time... '
And over my shoulder as I walk away
I see you give that look goodbye...
I still see that look in your eye...
So dizzy mr busy - too much rush to talk to billy
All the silly frilly things have to first get done
In a minute - sometime soon - maybe next time - make it june
Until later... doesn't always come
It's so hard to think 'it ends sometime
And this could be the last
I should really hear you sing again
And I should really watch you dance'
Because it's hard to think
'I'll never get another chance to hold you...
To hold you... '
But chilly mr dilly - too much rush to talk to billy
All the tizzy fizzy idiot things must get done
In a second - just hang on - all in good time - won't be long
Until later...
I should've stopped to think - I should've made the time
I could've had that drink - I could've talked awhile
I would've done it right - I would've moved us on
But I didn''t - now it''s all too late it's over... over...
And you're gone...
I miss you I miss you I miss you I miss you
I miss you I miss you so much
But how many times can I walk away
And wish 'if only... '
How many times can I talk this way
And wish 'if only... '
Keep on making the same mistake
Keep on aching the same heartbreak
I wish 'if only... '
But 'if only... '
Is a wish too late...
If only you'd never speak to me
The way that you do
If only you'd never speak like that
It's like listening to
A breaking heart
A falling sky
Fire go out and friendship die
I wish you felt the way that I still do
The way that I still do
If only you'd never look at me
The way that you do
If only you'd never look like that
When I look at you
I see face like stone
Eyes of ice
Mouth so sweetly telling lies
I wish you felt the way that I still do
The way that I still do
But you don't
You don't feel anymore
You don't care anymore
It's all gone
If only you'd never pull from me
The way that you do
If only you'd never pull like that
When I'm with you
I feel hopeless hands helplessly
Pulling you back close to me
I wish you felt the way that I still do
The way that I still do
If only you'd ever speak speak to me
The way you once did
Look at me the way you once did
Pull to me the way you once did
But you don't
You don't feel anymore
You don't care anymore
It's all gone
It's all gone
Yeah it's a snow white original mix and she's fixing me
And the heartless thing she does is everything I love
It's all I ever need
Yeah it's a skin tight sensational strip and she's tripping me
And the shameless way she turns...
Is all I ever dream
You ask me why I use it
It could be just a way to pass the time
I never really choose it
It's just another play to lose...
My mind...
Yeah it's a bright light promotional taste and she's wasting me
And the tearless time she breaks is everytime I ache
It's all I ever feel
You ask me why I need it
It's maybe just a way to pass the time
I never really mean it
It's just another play to lose...
My mind...
Yeah it's a big night emotional kill and she's thrilling me
And the careless way she hurts...
Is all I ever scream
You ask me why I take it
It could be just a way to pass the time
I never really make it
It's just another play to lose...
I'm coming up in the dark
And every part of me is bruised and raw and pained
I'm coming up in the dark
And every part of me is loose and sore and stained
And so I play it when I use it if I need it then I take it
And I play it all again...
And then I hold you... so cold you... like I know you...
Yeah like I always know and like I always lose...
My mind... my mind...
Yeah I play it when I use it if I need it then I take it
And I play it all again... and then I hold you... so cold you...
Like I know you...
Yeah like I always know and like I always lose
Yeah like I always lose
Like I always lose...
My mind
The happiest day I ever knew
In a sea of gold down next to you
So blurred and tired under summer sun
You whispered dreams of a world to come...
We were so in love
In this sea of gold so young and tired
Under summer sun hard by your side
Whispering dreams down next to you...
We were so in love
The happiest day
Yeah the happiest day I knew
But summer sun sea of gold
This perfect day oh so long ago
Whispering dreams so blurred and tired
We have to keep this day alive
Whispered dreams so young and tired
It's hard to hold this day inside
And the happiest night I ever had
Up next to you in silver sand
So scared and high under winter moon
You whispered dreams that would all come true...
We were so in love
Up next to you so fucked and high
Under winter moon it made me cry
Whispering dreams on silver sand...
We were so in love
The happiest night
Yeah the happiest night I had
But winter moon and silver sand
This perfect night in another land
Whispering dreams so scared and high
We have to keep this night alive
Whispered dreams so fucked and high
It's hard to hold this night inside
Yeah and every summer's sun I want again
And every winter's moon I want the same
My happiest day and my happiest night
Always next to you...
And held deep inside...
Keeps me alive
I ride into your town on a big black trojan horse
I'm looking to have some fun
Some kind of trigger-happy intercourse
'club america salutes you' says the girl on the door
'we accept all major lies
We love any kind of fraud
So go on in and enjoy...
Go on in and enjoy!!!'
I'm buying for my bright new friends
Blue suzannes all round
And my mood is heavily pregnant...
Yeah you're right
I couldn't help but notice your icy blue eyes
They've been burning two holes in the sides of my head
Since the second I arrived
And it's not too hard to guess from your stick-on stars
And your canary feather dress
Your hair in such a carefully careless mess
That you're really trying very hard to impress
You're such a wonderful person living a fabulous life
Sensational dazzling perfectly sized
Such a wonderful person living a fabulous life
Sharing it with me in club america tonight...
So we talk for a while about some band you saw on tv
But I don't listen to you and you don't listen to me
Yeah it's an old routine but it's a very special part of the game
And you don't really care what I call you at all
When I can't quite remember your name
And it's not too hard to guess from your stick-on stars
And your canary feather dress
The way you're so carefully couldn't care less
That you're really trying very hard to impress
You're such a wonderful person living a fabulous life
Sensational dazzling perfectly sized
Such a wonderful person living a fabulous life
Sharing it with me tonight
Yeah you're a wonderful person living a fabulous life
Fantastic divine and thrillingly bright
Such a wonderful person living a fabulous lie
With me in club america tonight
All the faces
All the voices blur
Change to one face
Change to one voice
Prepare yourself for bed
The light seems bright
And glares on white walls
All the sounds of
Charlotte sometimes
Into the night with
Charlotte sometimes
Night after night she lay alone in bed
Her eyes so open to the dark
The streets all looked so strange
They seemed so far away
But Charlotte did not cry
The people seemed so close
Playing expressionless games
The people seemed
So close
So many
Other names...
Sometimes I'm dreaming
Where all the other people dance
Sometimes I'm dreaming
Charlotte sometimes
Sometimes I'm dreaming
Expressionless the trance
Sometimes I'm dreaming
So many different names
Sometimes I'm dreaming
The sounds all stay the same
Sometimes I'm dreaming
She hopes to open shadowed eyes
On a different world
Come to me
Scared princess
Charlotte sometimes
On that bleak track
(See the sun is gone again)
The tears were pouring down her face
She was crying and crying for a girl
Who died so many years before...
Sometimes I dream
Where all the other people dance
Sometimes I dream
Charlotte sometimes
Sometimes I dream
The sounds all stay the same
Sometimes I'm dreaming
There are so many different names
Sometimes I dream
Sometimes I dream...
Charlotte sometimes crying for herself
Charlotte sometimes dreams a wall around herself
But it's always with love
With so much love it looks like
Everything else
Of Charlotte sometimes
So far away
Glass sealed and pretty
Charlotte sometimes
'Don't look don't look' the shadows breathe
Whispering me away from you
'Don't wake at night to watch her sleep
You know that you will always lose
This trembling
Adored
Tousled bird mad girl... '
But every night I burn
But every night I call your name
Every night I burn
Every night I fall again
'Oh don't talk of love' the shadows purr
Murmuring me away from you
'Don't talk of worlds that never were
The end is all that's ever true
There's nothing you can ever say
Nothing you can ever do... '
Still every night I burn
Every night I scream your name
Every night I burn
Every night the dream's the same
Every night I burn
Waiting for my only friend
Every night I burn
Waiting for the world to end
'Just paint your face' the shadows smile
Slipping me away from you
'Oh it doesn't matter how you hide
Find you if we're wanting to
So slide back down and close your eyes
Sleep a while
You must be tired... '
But every night I burn
Every night I call your name
Every night I burn
Every night I fall again
Every night I burn
Scream the animal scream
Every night I burn
Dream the crow black dream
Dream the crow black dream...
Breathe
Breathe on me
Be like you used to be
Breathe on me
Move in me
Be like you used to be
Move in me
Move in me
Be with me
Be like you used to be
With me
With me
this girl has got a smile
that can make me cry
this girl just burns with love
she's burning burning deep inside
night time night time
sets my house on fire
i'll turn into the melting man
i'll lose my life
to feel i feel desire
oh i should feel
like a polar bear...
it's impossible
she flies outside this cage
singing girlmad words
i keep her dark thoughts deep inside
as black as stone
and mad as birds
wild wild wild
and never turn away
sends me all her love
she sends me everything
she sends me everywhere
oh i could be
a polar bear...
but it's impossible
i try to talk
the sky goes red
i forget
so fill in my head
with some of this
some of that
some of every word she says
oh i should be
a polar bear...
but it's impossible
I'm going back to the land of the blind
Back to the land where the sun never shines
I'm going back there and I'm hoping to find
Everything just as it was before
I left it all behind
I slept at nights there hysterically
Twisted and turned
But I just couldn't get free
Opened my eyes
But I still couldn't see
But I could feel her...
China white girl
So I get down on the floor
Like I am worshipping God
Burning like a monkey
I get down on the floor
Like I am praying to the Lord
Burning like a monkey
Mmmmmm...
That was a Japanese dream alright
The sound of the storm
And the flickering light
And the way that her scent used to fill up the night like...
Like her scent used to fill up the night
So I get down on the floor
Like I am worshipping God
Burning like a monkey
I get down on the floor
Like I am praying to the Lord
Burning like a monkey
Just look at me now
Just look at me this way
It looks like I am quite insane
It looks like I am trying to eat off my face
It looks like I'm going to the land of the blind anyway...
Back where the sun never shines
Back to the land of the blind
Back in a Japanese dream
If you've got something left to say
You'd better say it now
Anything but 'stay'
Just say it now
We know we've reached the end
We just don't know how
'well at least we'll still be friends'
Yeah one last useless vow...
'there are different ways to live'
Yeah I know that stuff
'other ways to give'
Yeah all that stuff
But holding onto used to be
Is not enough
Memory's not life
And it's not love
We should let it all go
It never stays the same
So why does it hurt me like this
When you say that I've changed?
When you say that I've aged?
Say I'm afraid...
And all the tears you cry
They're not tears for me
Regrets about your life
They're not regrets for me
It never turns out how you want
Why can't you see?
It all just slips away
It always slips away
Eventually...
So if you've got nothing left to say
Just say goodbye
Turn your face away
And say goodbye
You know we've reached the end
You just don't know why
And you know we can't pretend
After all this time
So just let it all go
Nothing ever stays the same
So why does it hurt me like this
To say that I've changed?
To say that I've aged?
Say I'm afraid...
But there are long long nights when I lay awake
And I think of what I've done
Of how I've thrown my sweetest dreams away
And what I've really become
And however hard I try
I will always feel regret
However hard I try
I will never forget
I will never forget
curl into a ball like you have more fun
that would make it faster
why do you do it do you do it do you act like you?
why do you do it do you act like you?
don't fight
go red and blue and black and white
sell this sell this
or leave it senseless like a suck on a gun?
"put a piece of metal in your head" you said
"make you dead
make you hippa hippa hippa hippa... "
a palace of stones
of your bananafish bones
i'd buy you a hundred years old
to celebrate our difference
theorise and talk yourself
until you're tired and old
disappear everywhere and watch me
pull my lips apart
exploit! inspire! encourage!
be responsible for this...
ha ha!
i don't think
i don't think
i make use of all this time
oh kill me kiss me once
and then we'll throw it away
and then we'll throw it away...
turn off the lights
and tell me about the games you play...
Nothing ever changes
Nothing ever moves
I swim around in circles
In the same old lifeless room
And talk about the mirror man
The whispers in my ear again
The hot and sticky pillow man
Is smothering my face again
Nothing ever changes
Nothing ever moves
And I run around hysterical
In dead persistent gloom
And babble out in simile
Like dog-head-monkey-music me
Shut up shut up shut up shut up
Shut up!!!
And let me breathe...
I thought I'd give my love to anyone today
But when it came to you, one thing was for sure
Well, I know your little games and I don't wanna play
It's like takin' sick when nobody knows the cure
You come on like the princess of the junior prom
Always part of everything that's goin? down
Just lookin? for another fool to lean upon
In the center ring and everyone's your clown
Can't you see I've lost my nerve
I just can't face you
Perhaps I'll let the time erase you
Can't you see I've lost my nerve
I just can't face you
Perhaps I'll let the time erase you
I thought I'd give my love to anyone today
But when it came to you, one thing was for sure
Well, I know your little games and I don't wanna play
You know the cure for a broken heart
You know the cure
If I come a little strong, tell me when I'm wrong
Guide me, tell me what to do
Come a little fast, please help this love to last
Pity me and take me home with you
Love is cruel, love is kind, love is never, never blind
Love is honest, love is beautiful and blue
Love is always safe and sound, love will always fool around
There's not a single thing that you can do
Don't you know that love is the only cure for your broken heart?
Telling you that love is the only cure for your broken heart
I've been too long on my own, can't stand to live alone
I've got you in my blood and in my every move
And though I've got it left in, the man in me forgets
What can happen when you're falling out of love
Love is cruel, love is kind, love is never, never blind
Love is honest, love is beautiful and true
Love is always safe and sound, love will always fool around
There's not a single thing for you to do
To know that love is the only cure for your broken heart
You know that love is the only cure for your broken heart
Love is cruel, love is kind, love is never, never blind
Love is honest, love is beautiful and blue
Love is always safe and sound, love will always fool around
There's not a single thing for you to do
Don't you know that love is the only cure for your broken heart?
Love is the only cure for your broken heart
Come a little strong, tell me when I'm wrong
Guide me, tell me what to do
Come a little fast, just help this love to last
Pity me and take me home with you
Love is cruel, love is kind, love is never, never blind
Love is honest, beautiful and blue
Love is always safe and sound, love will always fool around
There's not a single thing for you to do
You know that love is the only cure for your broken heart
I'm telling you that love is the only cure for your broken heart
Love is the only cure for your broken heart
Tell it to me, you know that love is the only cure
Tell it to the doctor [Incomprehensible]
Love is the only cure for your broken heart
Tell me, tell me sweet love, sweet love
Love is the only cure
Picture this
There's a girl who was raised
To believe that love is suffering
She grows up and the man
Like a father gives her a wedding ring
Now she walks around up constant companion
Our resentment, fear and sadness
The lack of laughter turns to cancer
This song is dedicated to her
The worst disease in the world
It's not cancer, it's not AIDS
The cure will not be found
By any physicist or scientist
'Cause any cure living every single one of us
The worst disease in the world is hate
And the cure for hate is love
Oh love, oh love, oh love
Picture this
There's a boy who was abused
When he was twelve years old
Now guilt lives in the pit of his stomach
And even though he's grown
He believes he deserves to be punished
Now he lives his life past and reckless
Searching for love, [Incomprehensible] helpless
This song is dedicated to him
The worst disease in the world
It's not cancer, it's not AIDS
The cure will not be found
By any physicist or scientist
'Cause any cure living every single one of us
The worst disease in the world is hate
And the cure for hate is love
Oh love, oh love, oh love
It may seem when I'm looking at the world
Through those kind of glasses
I believe that it's so simple
But sometimes it looks complicated
God's love is like sunshine [Incomprehensible]
Not be recognized
The most powerful energy in the universe
And all we have to do is use it
You may think
That there's nothing in the world
That you can do but that ain't the truth
The fact of the matter is
A better world begins with you
Be the best person you can be
Pass those values to your family
And when you pray for those you love
Say a prayer for humanity, say a prayer
Our Father, who art in Heaven
Say a prayer, say a prayer
Say a prayer for humanity
Say a prayer for humanity
Say a prayer for humanity
Say a prayer for humanity
Say a prayer for humanity
Say a prayer for humanity
Say a prayer for humanity
Begging like,
you might take order in your own hands,
I stare,
seems like I don't care,
Drop the chance in your hands then,
I know the bads gotta fix itself,
correct overtime,
And i know cause i've got the cure,
I've got a cure for your crimes.
All i dreamed of,
all that seemed like luck seems silly to you now,
All i said to you,
All i did for seems so silly to me now.
(o-oh o-oh o-oh o-oh o-oh o-oh o-oh o-oh)
Screaming like,
No one might call the cops and arrest you this time,
Standing back,
up against my buildings back door,
Your hoping for a ride.
Well i know the world's been mean to you,
I've got a cure hold tight,
I know the world's not fair to you,
I've got a cure for it's crimes.
All i dreamed of,
All that seemed like luck seems silly to you now,
All i said to you,
All i did for you seems so silly to me now.
Oh oh when you say it so so slowly to me,
Oh i like it keep going,
Oh no i ran while knowing,
No i know you need it so,
so i need it too,
Oh i must keep going so,
so you must too and oh,
Oh oh when you say it so so slowly to me,
Oh i like it keep going,
Oh no i ran while knowing,
No i know you need it so,
so i need it too,
Oh i must keep going so,
so you must too and oh,
O-oh I've got a cure,

All i dreamed up,
All that seemed like luck,

All i said to you,
All i did for you,
Seems so silly to me now.(2x)
I've got a cure,
I've got the cure for you.(2x)
(o-oh o-oh o-oh o-oh o-oh o-oh o-oh o-oh,
We have gathered here tonite to spend some time
With our demons, those evil beings in your minds
We have found The Cure for all our troubles
So free your mind and let it go
Take a step to the other side of divinity
Get closer to feel the infinity
Let the poison fill you with it's equity
Soon all will change to what it should always be
Twisted faces all within me
Constant laughter that no one hears
Secret places waiting for me
I'm slowly dying with these fears
I have come here tonite to spend some time
With my own puzzles, those little pieces
Of my broken mind
I have found The Cure for all my troubles
So I free my mind and let it flow
Kill your worries tonite
Run away there's no time
Take a step to the other divinity
Get closer to feel the infinity
Let the poison fill you with it's equity
Soon all will change to what it should always be
Twisted faces all within me
Constant laughter that no one hears
Secret places waiting for me
I'm slowly dying with these fears
Evil places all inside me
Constant screaming that no one hears
Bad times waiting for me
I'm already dead can't you see
Look at me, it’s plain to see, that I’m no longer here
Can you find me?
They took it all away from me, my mind is out somewhere
They analyze my every move, they strap me to this bed
Set me free
They want to do a lobotomy, they want to cure my head
Drain the pressure from my brain
Suck the juice from me
Sane, I’ll never be again
So tell me what you see
They tell me I’m no longer fit to live my life out there
Decide for me
Pacified, neutralized, so I’m staying here
Drain the pressure from my brain
Suck the juice from me
Sane, I’ll never be again
When you'll come back home again
Weary from the fight
I will nurse your wounds and I'll
release you from your weights
You must be hungry and
There's blood upon your hands
So please come in and I will cure your fever
Why don't you rest your head
You long for warmth I bet
You needn't worry of a thing when I'm near
(He's the cure)
I'm the cure
I'm the cure
What can just light up your heart
When you're in the dark
What just makes privation worth
What's dearer to a man
To see this face again
To touch this body and
To feel the blood pulsating in your veins
Your hunger will be fed
For every tear you've shed
You'll get the threefold pay in just one long night
(He's the cure)
I'm the cure
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah
Hush, little baby, don't you cry
Yeah, I know she hurt you
But it ain't the end of your life
'Cause I'm right here waiting with open arms
I know you might feel shattered
But love should never bring you harm
So consider this a moment
That's defining who you are
And I can fix what's broken
And here's how I'll start
Just come with your heart and leave the rest to me
And I promise that we'll be and I'll be the cure
Show me where it hurts
And I know that I can be the medicine you need
Baby, I'll be your cure, your cure, yeah, yeah, yeah
I can see she left you with your heart wide open
But I can be your shelter when the winds starts blowing
So don't be afraid of what's in front of you
'Cause I know I'm strong enough to carry us through
So consider this a moment, that's defining who you are
And I can fix what's broken and here's how I'll start
Just come with your heart and leave the rest to me
And I promise that we'll be and I'll be the cure
Show me where it hurts
And I know that I can be the medicine you need
And I'll be your cure, I'll be the cure
And I'll be your cure, I'll be the cure
I'll be your healer in my shining armor
Just let me protect you, that's what I'm here for
My love is a healer if you let me near you
Reach out and touch me, just let me restore
Just come with your heart and leave the rest to me
And I promise that we'll be and I'll be the cure
Show me where it hurts
And I know that I could be the medicine you need
And I'll be your cure
Just come with your heart and leave the rest to me
And I promise that we'll be and I'll be your cure
Show me where it hurts
And I know that I can be the medicine you need
Baby, I'll be your cure, I'll be the cure
I'll be your cure, yeah, yeah, I'll be the cure
My love is strong enough, I'll be the cure
Whenever you call, yeah, I'll be the cure
I am the cure
There's a girl who was raised to believe that love is suffering
She grows up and the man like a father gives her a wedding ring
Now she walks around up constant companion, our resentment, fear and sadness
The lack of laughter turns to cancer, this song is dedicated to her
The worst disease in the world
It's not cancer, it's not aids
The cure will not be found
By any physicist or scientist
Cause any cure living every single one of us
The worst disease in the world is hate
And the cure for hate is love
Oh love, oh love, oh love
Picture this:
There's a boy who was abused when he was 12 years old
Now guilt lives in the pit of his stomach and even though he's grown
He believes he deserves to be punished, now he lives his life past and reckless
Searching for love, helpless, this song is dedicated to him
The worst disease in the world
It's not cancer, it's not aids
The cure will not be found
By any physicist or scientist
Cause any cure living every single one of us
The worst disease in the world is hate
And the cure for hate is love
Oh love, oh love, oh love
It may seem
When I'm looking at the world through those kind of glasses
I believe that it's so simple but sometimes it looks complicated
God's love is like sunshine not be recognized
The most powerful energy in the universe
And all we have to do is use it
You may think
That there's nothing in the world that you can do but that ain't the truth
The fact of the matter is the battle world begins with you
Be the best person you can be
Pass those values to your family
And when you pray for those you love
Say a prayer for humanity
To all of you sexual deviants that have perversely lost your way
To all of you with loved ones that have been immorally led astray
Fear no more, have faith in us, gods soldiers are here to appease
We’ll save you from immorality by helping to rid you of this horrid disease
Bring the gays, the lesbians and bisexuals- we’ve got the cure
Bring the queers, the transsexuals, and transgendereds- we’ve got the cure
Bring the sinful, bring the immoral, bring the sick- we’ve got the cure
Change your ways, ignore your instincts, repress your feelings- sin no more
This disease can now be treated with god’s help these sinners can be cured
And traditional Christian gender roles can be forcibly restored
But just like with alcoholics, all of our efforts can’t succeed
If they’d rather live in denial and refuse to get the help they need
Bring the gays, the lesbians and bisexuals- we’ve got the cure
Bring the queers, the transsexuals, and transgendereds- we’ve got the cure
Bring the sinful, bring the immoral, bring the sick- we’ve got the cure
Change your ways, ignore your instincts, repress your feelings- sin no more
People are not born this way like these gay rights activists suggest
I spent some time alone without you
Just to see what I had left behind
I tried to take away the pain
From all the times and all the years I felt let down
But all I saw was you
And when I felt like giving up you said
Oh no
Just keep on running
Oh no
You can give up this time
We all fall down
No matter who you are
You will feel lonely
To say the least and know that
if you're looking for a cure to this life
You won't find it
No you won't find it alone
I took some time to figure out myself
But only found that I was just more lost than when I started
About the time I hit my knees was when you came
Just like the times before
And when it all came down you were knocking at my door
Oh no
Just keep on running
Oh no
You can't give up this time
We all fall down
No matter who you are
You will feel lonely
To say the least and know that
if you're looking for a cure to this life
You won't find it
No you won't find it alone
And even when I can't see past the place I'm in
I know that you are there
I know you'll raise me up again
Oh no
Just keep on running
Oh no
You can't give up this time
We all fall down
No matter who you are
You will feel lonely
To say the least and know that
if you're looking for a cure to this life
You won't find it
Motionless, I see the world from here
Innocence, forced into hiding again
All the leaves are suspended in air
As this moment takes shape in the sun
We have the cure
We’ve been searching for something we’ve already found
Inside ourselves
We have the cure
Tranquil tongues, showing their dragon’s fire
Lovers’ hearts, painted black with desire
All the leaves are suspended in air
As this moment takes shape in the sun
We have the cure
We’ve been searching for something we’ve already found
Inside ourselves
We have the cure
We are buried
Oblivious to the world
Inside of our own selfish hearts
I’d like to believe we’ve a better grasp than this
But we’re all sightless along this road
And this picture it fades
Why have we been lost?
And the silence, it pulls me into grey
It's a frightening lonely time
No lonely heart to find
Where I scare myself in vain again
So I tried and I tried and I tried
But I'm wasting all my time
I know that I have failed
Sometimes
There were times when all was fine
But you can't be here tonight
Broken pieces of my heart
Now they're calling and calling
This is the cure
And I won't get lonely
This is the cure
And I won't get lonely
When you left my world to find
Some better lovely times
You put me in this pain again
Then I started to realize
Those funny ways of life
Where I wonder what mankind can do
There were times when all was fine
But you can't be here tonight
Broken pieces of my heart
Now they're calling and calling
This is the cure
And I won't get lonely
This is the cure
And I won't get lonely
This is the cure
And I won't get lonely
This is the cure
And I won't get lonely
This is the cure
This is the cure
And I won't get lonely
This is the cure
And I won't get lonely
This is the cure
And I won't get lonely
This is the cure
And I won't get lonely
This is the cure
And I won't get lonely
This is the cure
Don't deny that sick feeling in your stomach you can't run from it
let it guide you into high view and move beyond the summit
from peeks to valleys speed through alleys if it's done quick
you'll have time to find the caves where the days are never sunlit
find the scriptures made by a society of blind men
who suggest the best direction's where you most likely will find them..
dead set on checkmates embracing a chess set
when bedspreads get wet they're left with the scent of death threats
in 7 seconds I'll become undone, I'm breaking through
if you're around by the time I reach number one I'm taking you
You're not the traveling type? Then hide your baggage better
before you die a normal death and write the average letter
about your internal furnace
and how life's a sexually transmitted disease that you contracted from her kiss
when a boy writes off the world it's done with sloppy misspelled words if
a girl writes off the world it's done in cursive
I'm searching for the cure
this is a sickness
can you hear me, love?
I kick dirt for what it's worth listening to the birds chirp
the same cryptic speech that the breeze speaks and sea repeats
recognizing the cycles with every passing day
writing full demands in the sand with my toe til crashing waves washed it away
I watch what I say now but I hate it
trying to make my mark, afraid of the dark nature of vague statements
that plague vacant parking lots where shopping carts go uncollected
that sick feeling in my stomach start to leave my heart and soul infected
I won't accept it. I do my best to reject patterns til it hurts
every second making bad turns for the worse
she's getting further away I can feel it in the way my bones ache
The ocean sealed it's lips, now the waves won't break
The secrets it won't say has got us trying to break codes in churches
and lately I've been hating its soul purpose
when a boy writes off the world it's done with sloppy misspelled words if
a girl writes off the world it's done in cursive
I'm searching for the cure
this is a sickness
can you hear me, love?
Now I look for air pockets to pick, walk with a stick, start picking locks with it
opening up heart-shaped lockets with little arguments
the tawdry trinkets start to split and contradict
those who say one thing but think the opposite
I bit the dust tongue kissing documents in a smoke stack
faith is harder to swallow than pride it, turns our throats black
I want my home back. I know that's not an available option
it's the way that I'm walking in between a cradle and coffin
that makes me pace myself. if half the battle is done right
the other half won't take my health while jacking my shadow's sunlight
to crack it open and find the space between my breaths are desolate
life is just a lie with an "f" in it and death is definite
But after I scratched the surface
I never saw the calm before the storm act so nervous
when a boy writes off the world it's done with sloppy misspelled words if
a girl writes off the world it's done in cursive
I'm searching for her
Hello you, In the corner of the room
With a smile broken on your sleeve
Would you please look my way
No you don't have to stay
Just humor me
Your eye's say leave me alone
But girl I don't listen and everyone knows
I've been trying to say
That everything was falling apart for me
I just can't take it
But I hear the cure for this is you
Now summers never seamed to be this hard
I count the steps that I take
Whether they're short or far
Every single one
Brings me back to you
So don't say leave me alone
Cause' girl that would hurt me more than you know
I've been trying to say
That everything was falling apart for me
I just can't take it
But I hear the cure for this is you
I've been trying to say
That everything was falling apart for me
I just can't take it
But now I've got the cure
KNOWMADS - THE CURE
cause every time i dream
none of that is true
but every time i dream seems i always think of you
i can only see it from the darkest point of view
i wake up in the morning now it starts to become true
and theres nothing i can do to keep from coming back to you
my cure is the flower that blossoms my thoughts in the process this
rock at the bottom when im lost in my conscious the progress with
friends and the family and grow through the knowledge we hold and
expose to whose close
the convos my mom had when i chose, dedicating my life to every fan
at our shows
im happy with the mic and packed bags on the road
shorty passing the pipe and hash wax on the stove
my liver runs deep heart blood stream busting at the seam
i was asking for the scalpel making cuts so i can breath
but its hard to find oxygen when your on an oxy binge and self esteem
and confidence is all that you need
so im talking to this audience while im parting the seas
even the gods feel my ambience and hardly believe in my stream of
conciousness that overflows when i speak
as a cure for this disease giving strength to the weak
using this music its therapeutic so through it i teach
my life's about climbing this mountain not what i do at the peak
three hundred bars 48 hours straight training day hard worker for that
salary rate
stop applying pressure trying to get my balance to break, you cant tip
these scales im used to handling weight
most days im out of danger but im trapped in a safe
so my hearts filled with anger til i hear that 8-o-8
no stranger to the madness
anger and the sadness
my mind reflects the world like the pages of an atlas
mapping out psychosis, rapping to snap out it
i realize that music is a necessary outlet
passion is a rhyme, reacting to the signs
remind myself daily il find happiness in time
twisted feeling crazy like im wrapped inside these lines
grasping on the mic feel like im tapping the divine
laughing at myself for being selfish and alive
possessions never help because all the wealth gets left behind
we know our spirits well but some from hell are deep inside
so when we reach the end theres nowhere else that we could hide
look into my eyes, memories rewind
disregard the energies of people i despise
truth is the youth is attracted to the highs
addicted to the thrills while were trapped inside our minds
my cure is the flower that blossoms my thoughts in the process this
rock at the bottom when im lost in my conscious the progress with
friends and the family can grow through the knowledge we hold and
expose to whose close
the convos my mom had when i chose, dedicating my life to every fan
at our shows
im happy with the mic and packed bags on the road, shorty passing
the pipe and hash wax on the stove
but every time i dream seems i always think of you
i can only see it from the darkest point of view
i wake up in the morning now it starts to become true
I would say I'm sorry
If I thought that it would change your mind
But I know that this time
I've said too much
Been too unkind
I try to laugh about it
Cover it all up with lies
I try and
Laugh about it
Hiding the tears in my eyes
'cause boys don't cry
Boys don't cry
I would break down at your feet
And beg forgiveness
Plead with you
But I know that
It's too late
And now there's nothing I can do
So I try to laugh about it
Cover it all up with lies
I try to
laugh about it
Hiding the tears in my eyes
'cause boys don't cry
I would tell you
That I loved you
If I thought that you would stay
But I know that it's no use
That you've already
Gone away
Misjudged your limits
Pushed you too far
Took you for granted
I thought that you needed me more
Now I would do most anything
To get you back by my side
But I just
Keep on laughing
Hiding the tears in my eyes
'cause boys don't cry
Boys don't cry
