There is a world inside the world that you see
And it's okay to count the minutes 'cause how many could there be
And if love is all around us how could this have found us
The move you know is don't let go of me
There is a world inside the world that you see
Let's call her Halcyon and hope that she holds
'Cause every shore she's gonna touch is gonna turn to solid gold
She and I been wishing for a change in our condition
It's not given but it's obvious to me
There is a world inside the world
There is a world inside the world
There is a world inside the world that you see
There is a world inside the world that you see
I read it in Delillo like they'd written it to me
And if love is all we're made then what am I afraid of
Just 'cause freedom rings it doesn't mean we're free
There is a world inside the world
There is a world inside the world
There is a world inside the world
There is a world inside the world

Richard Wagner's letters to his lover Mathilde were a mess
He should have quit before he had written the address
They made love on the mezzanine her husband was his friend
Vienna in a fugue-state working on a thing
That when he finished it took almost seven hours to sing
He still found time to write to her his heart-exploding words
Our love surpassed our love so fast
Our love's all wrong our love goes on and on
Our love became our love by name when I wrote it to you in a song
Our love goes on and on
Our love our love
Kafka in his letters to his lover Milena was alive
But he was waiting for a love that never would arrive
Their rendezvous was singular her husband was his friend
She is a living fire she is a reason to live
She is killing me burning only for him
I'll spend my whole life loving her my heart exploding words
Our love surpassed our love so fast
Our love's all wrong our love goes on and on
Our love became our love by name when I wrote it to you in a song
Our love goes on and on
Our love our love our love our love
Our love surpassed our love so fast
Our love's all wrong our love goes on and on
Our love became our love by name when I wrote it to you in a song
Our love goes on and on our love our love
You had every psychological reason for what went down
You drove your car off the end of a bridge
You told your mom you were comfortably numb
You left everybody over here hanging by a thread downtown
You know I'm getting on a plane tonight
I'm gonna find you and bring you home
I was just down I was not over you
I am accountable I can't be held
It's just like you said it's all
Just like you said all wrong
I was in love with you but you were delicate
You had every emotional reason for what went down
You found a broken glass hotel
You told your mom you were going to war
I was just down I was not over you
I am accountable I can't be held
It's just like you said it's all
Just like you said all wrong
I was in love with you but you were delicate
You know they are not getting any younger in the old hometown
You left a message on my machine
You're not dying anymore
I was just down I was not over you
I am accountable I can't be held
It's just like you said it's all
Just like you said all wrong
I was in love with you but you were delicate
I was in love with you but you were delicate
I am in love with you but you are delicate
If you are my friend then why are you over there
There was talk at the time
That she'd forgotten her senses she was running around and carrying on
They were wrong but of course
She had her faculties on her she was honorably carrying on
She don't wonder anymore 'cause she knows what love is for
I know it might sound weird but all of these things here
Are things that disappear
I know it might sound weird but all of these things here
Are things that disappear
She's got blood she's got eyes
She's got a voice in her head and she listens every once in a while
She don't wonder anymore 'cause she knows what love is for
I know it might sound weird but all of these things here
Are things that disappear
I know it might sound weird but all of these things here
Are things that disappear
Is that all yes it is
Put his stuff in a box and put him out of her memory
Now he's gone and away but he will never be out of her misery
She don't wonder anymore 'cause she knows what love is for
I know it might sound weird but all of these things here
Are things that disappear
I know it might sound weird but all of these things here
This is a girl
On a different planet
In a constellation faraway
We are in love
And you can't deny
I'm with her
Sha-la-la-la
I'm with her
Sha-la-la-la
Livin alone
Livin all alone in a black hole I call Hollywood
Looking for love, that I could not find
I had a dream
That she would orbit around me
Her heavenly body hovering
We were in love
And I closed my eyes
I'm with her
Sha-la-la-la
I'm with her
Sha-la-la-la
I was underground
I found a whole new world to put my troubles in
You lived miles above the earth
Until you came down to bring me home again
Now I'm with her
Sha-la-la-la
I'm with her
Sha-la-la-la
We will be wed
And we will procreate
And we will examine life on another plane
And we are in love, with the big blue sky
I'm with her
Sha-la-la-la
I'm with her
This is what I do this is what I do
Jennifer 1 was a racehorse-rider Heidi was a house on fire
Bernadette kept a distance we got tangled up in telephone wire
I'm gonna sing this song forever about a girl that I once knew
And how she is always leaving this is what I do
This is what I do for a living this is what I do
In another life I was a holy roller in another lifetime I flew
I have always kept a distance this is what I do
This is what I do for a living this is what I do
This is what I do this is what I do
Every one of us has a secret rhythm beating like a drum
All of us have a albatross and this is my one
This is what I do for a living this is what I do
I could hide it in the attic I could bury it in static
I could only put it out in Japan
I could tape my mouth closed I could take another dose
I am dancing as fast as I can
This is what I do for a living this is what I do
Activity killed you
When are you gonna find half of things that you knew in your body were wrong
I wanted to be friends with you
Now I have come to find it was mistaken
In passion nobody was wrong
And I believed you
They sat down in London
Had to be hard to be hard to keep hating yourself when these people are so well behaved
You did time in Duncanville
Part of you is living there still in a hole where the souls of the lost geared to save
And I believed you
When you said happiness
Is all you wanted
You said this
Is all you wanted
How I miss
We almost made it
Happiness
All of your good friends
All of the people like me keep a list of the things in this world that we trust
You are here in after referred to as someone who gave it a shot, gave it off, left the cruel world to us
And I believed you
You won't get nervous
You won't come down
You won't feel helpless
You won't be around anymore
Anymore
I had a dream I was employed at my old position
As your second string it cut me down to the quick
It hurt so badly who's to say is it possible
It felt like it was real there was no god
I could believe in
You've got terrible vision if you don't see
That I'm in love with you and how that means everything
I had a dream that you were gone it was a heart condition
Like I'd never known what my name was
You couldn't see me
You've got terrible vision if you don't see
That I'm in love with you and how that means everything
If I had known that you could leave
I would have stolen myself out
As it is I'm so in love there is no god
It was a dream that's all it was you've got to wake me up now
you've got to wake me up now
you've got to wake me up now
you've got to wake me up now
You've got terrible vision if you don't see
That I'm in love with you and how that means everything
You've got terrible vision if you don't see
She woke from a dream
Her head was on fire
Why was he so nervous
He took her to the park
She crossed her arms and
Lowered her eye lids
Someday somebody's gonna ask you
A question that you should say yes to
Once in your life
Maybe tonight
Ive got a querstion for you
She'd had no idea
Started to cry
She said in a good way
He took her by the hand
Walked her back home
They took the long way
Someday somebody's gonna ask you
A question that you should say yes to
Once in your life
Maybe tonight
Love gets you in the gut
Takes the top off of your head
And makes you wish that you were dead
Drugs help but not enough
Take the loop off of your mind
And scoop out everything you find
Meteor Shower
Meteor Shower
I cannot make light I'm so burnt out
I know where you are
I cannot believe how much it hurts
I'm a fallen star
Time sneaks up from behind
Puts you six feet underground
While the world keeps spinnin' round
Love gets you in the gut
Take top off of your head
The man you want is the man I am
The one you used to have still standing by your side
The love I need is the love you give
Could you give it to me now
I want to live I want to live
I want to see tomorrow yeah
So I can see you tomorrow yeah yeah yeah yeah
The man upstairs must have a plan
The one you used to have has disappeared from view
But here comes me looking for a kiss
Could you give it to me now
I want to live I want to live
I want to see tomorrow yeah
So I can see you tomorrow yeah yeah yeah yeah
The time you lose working for the man
The time you used to have is never coming back
But the love you make well that's all there is
So could you give it to me now
I want to live I want to live
I want to see tomorrow yeah
So I can see you tomorrow yeah yeah yeah
I want to live I want to live
I want to see tomorrow yeah
Help me Suzanne
I got to figure it out
Why the whites of my eyes are red
What I wouldn't give
For a bed or a fire or a phone
Who could I call?
Or what would I say?
I've been working all week for you
Where would I go to
Even if I could go home?
I've been living on the memory of a dream I once I had
You gave me the reason
For feeling like I do
You gave me the reason
I'd like to thank you
Help me Suzanne I've got to set my sights on the bright sunshiny day
Cause my whole world's gone grey and its going wrong
You got a big heart beat and a body in work you could do me a world of good
Yeah you could and you did and I am begging you to keep on
I've been living on the memory of a dream I once I had
You gave me the reason
For feeling like I do
You gave me the reason
I'd like to thank you
I had lost my way
Like I always do
You gave me the reason
I'd like to thank you
And I'm living on the memory of a dream I once had
You gave me the reason
For feeling like I do
You gave me the reason
I'd like to thank you
I had lost my head
I had come unglued
You gave me the reason
I'd like to thank you
I'd like to thank you
I'd like to thank you
Two of us in a double-feature
I'm a rock and roller she's a science teacher
I send her looks they don't reach her
She does not know I'm in love with her
Later on it's no better
She wants to take a walk so I let her
I watch her go and then I go and get her
I have to spell it out for her
La-la-la I'm in love with a four-eyed girl
She knows how to move me now she knows how
Twenty-four hours Katz's never closes
Yeah I tell her that I love her and I don't care who knows it
What's it take romance red wine roses
She gets the picture takes pity on me
She lets go she lets it happen
It's a hot spell after a cold snap
My eyes are open nobody's napping she says
You don't want to miss a minute of me
La-la-la I'm in love with a four-eyed girl
She knows how to move me now she knows how
La-la-la I'm in love with a four-eyed girl
Breathe in you are strong all the barriers are gone let it carry us somewhere unreachable
I would never hurt you baby my virtue has proven itself unimpeachable
Let's just say there are those long days there is this dumb luck
There is a brand new way opening up
Streets buildings and cars faraway stars my fingers move over the borderline
Breathe in you're the stranger there is no danger you'll fall into that rogue right hand of mine
Let's just say there are those long days there is this dumb luck
There is a brand new way opening up
Skin all over you I'm a worrier it's true I came over to cushion your breakables
Breathe in you are stronger you don't have to wander you know my conviction's unshakeable
Let's just say there are those long days there is this dumb luck
There is a brand new way opening up
There are these long nights there is this good love
There is a brand new way opening up
I try to make your world a better place
I'd smother you in kisses I'd give you outer space
But you're terrified and it's tearing me apart
Can I kiss your furrowed brow and calm your nervous heart
Can I kiss your furrowed brow and calm your nervous heart
I know the world's a bitch don't get me wrong
You've got to give the world the finger
You've got to sing a happy song
Making love's by far the better part
Can I kiss your furrowed brow and calm your nervous heart
Can I kiss your furrowed brow and calm your nervous heart
And if you've got to believe in something make it us
'Cause we've got love and devotion and trust
What we've got was strong right from the start
Can I kiss your furrowed brow and calm your nervous heart
Can I kiss your furrowed brow and calm your nervous heart
I know somebody must have gave you hell
Maybe you went running as the sky just sort of fell
Let me scoop you up and love you as you are
Can I kiss your furrowed brow and calm your nervous heart
Can I kiss your furrowed brow and calm your nervous heart
There is a world inside the world that you see
And it's okay to count the minutes 'cause how many could there be
And if love is all around us how could this have found us
The move you know is don't let go of me
There is a world inside the world that you see
Let's call her Halcyon and hope that she holds
'Cause every shore she's gonna touch is gonna turn to solid gold
She and I been wishing for a change in our condition
It's not given but it's obvious to me
There is a world inside the world
There is a world inside the world
There is a world inside the world that you see
There is a world inside the world that you see
I read it in Delillo like they'd written it to me
And if love is all we're made then what am I afraid of
Just 'cause freedom rings it doesn't mean we're free
There is a world inside the world
There is a world inside the world
There is a world inside the world
There is a world inside the world
Let's say you're in Chicago and you're rattling along on the El
And the one who rides beside you is a stranger to herself
Nobody knows her own heart
You might have been introduced but you drifted apart
You're a long way from where you belong unaware
Let's say you're in Chicago and you're making out under the El
You're trapped in you're head humming a tune to yourself
There's a trapdoor in your heart
There's a false bottom line and it's falling apart
You're a long way from where you belong unaware
We were on pins and needles
You were gearing up to cry
I was the instigator you were the reason why
You're a long way from where you belong unaware
Let's say you're in Chicago and you're breaking up all over the El
You were so in love but you were only in love with yourself
Nobody knows her own heart
Things were coming together now they're falling apart
You're a long way from where you belong unaware
Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes, the only thing you have is a song
And in these times, in these times, in these lonely, lonely times, I will sing along
Ever since I found you, I’ve been orbiting around you like you are the sun
Ever since I met you, there’s no way I could forget, you are the only one
Every single morning when I hear you in there humming on a brand new tune
If I blink I’ll miss you, honey, all I want’s to kiss you and I want to soon
Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes, the only thing you have is a song
And in these times, in these times, in these lonely, lonely times, I will sing along
I might just surprise you, I might be the one who tries to love you every day
I propose forever, although longer would be better, what d’ya say, what d’ya say
Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes, the only thing you have is a song
And in these times, in these times, in these lonely, lonely times, I will sing along
Why am I refusing temptation when it's all around me?
It would be so easy to say yes
But I never say yes, I just float here like ice
Why do I continue to phone you when it's so apparent?
Those drinks that your pouring won't make you forget
That you and I met once or twice
In my dream I will remember you loving me
Oh, but in real life this is not over
Why do I persist and resist in what is really happening
You and I could be happy sleeping right here
But you won't be here, you are telling me twice
In my dream I will remember you loving me
Oh, but in real life this is not over
In my dream I will remember you loving me
Oh, but in real life this is not over
Why am I refusing temptation when it's all around me?
It would be so easy to say yes
But I never say yes, I just float here like ice
In my dream I will remember you loving me
Oh, but in real life this is not over
In my dream I will remember you loving me
Oh, but in real life this is not over
In my dream I will remember you loving me
Oh, but in real life this is not over
Why am I refusing temptation?
My friend is trapped in a shame spiral
I'm worried about my friend's survival
Waiting around on the sea to collapse
Sticking his foot in his own traps
There is no brand new story and these stones are not a home
Point Shirley or not to be
You've got to get out of Point Shirley or not to be
My friend is trapped in a hostile world
The rutted sea is an angry girl
Who calls you up just to hear you cry
My friend's been there and so have I
There is no brand new story and these stones are not a home
Point Shirley or not to be
You've got to get out of Point Shirley or not to be
Point Shirley or not to be
You've got to get out of Point Shirley or not to be
My friend is sleeping on a six-foot wave
There's too many of them to save
I'm going to wait around for the sea to get full
My friend's given in to the downward pull
Point Shirley or not to be
You've got to get out of Point Shirley or not to be
Point Shirley or not to be
You've got to get out of Point Shirley or not to be
Point Shirley or not to be
There is a real possibility
That there's really something wrong with me
In all likelihood I'm up to no good
There is a strong suggestion
Baby without a question
In all likelihood I am up to no good
I'm only home away from home
I'm only all there when I am gone
I only miss you when I'm with you
I'm only happy when I'm singing a sad, sad, song
Well you keep my fortune
Throw it into the ocean
No matter what you say, I'm drifting away
Hold on to my memory
You can't hold on to me
No matter what you say, I am drifting away
I'm only home away from home
I'm only all there when I am gone
I only miss you when I'm with you
I'm only happy when I'm singing a sad, sad, song
There is a real possibility
That there's really something wrong with me
In all likelihood I'm up to no good
There is a strong suggestion
Baby without a question
In all likelihood I'm up to no good
I'm only home away from home
I'm only all there when I am gone
I only miss you when I'm with you
I'm only happy when I'm singing a sad, sad, sad, sad
Out of love, out of love,
Out of love, you know I did it out of love
Out of love, out of love,
Out of love, you know I did it
I'm only home away from home
I'm only all there when I am gone
I only miss you when I'm with you
I'm only happy when I'm singing a sad, sad, song
Out of love, out of love,
Out of love, you know I did it out of love
Out of love, out of love,
Keyboards and keystrokes and keystones and keys
Write it all down and then move over please
Hollow your heart out, hold out your hope
God give me strength and a good length of rope
Nobody says I love you anymore
Halftime and half lives and breaking in half
I'll take a beating and you'll take a bath
Same time tomorrow I'll know where you'll be
Same place as always right here beside me
Nobody says I love you anymore
Nobody says I love you
Haven't you heard? Nobody, nobody, no
Watchbands and watch hands and watching your watch
Time waits for no man, for woman it stops
I don't need heaven 'cause heaven's right here
Whispering goodbye, goodbye in my ear
Nobody says I love you anymore
Nobody says I love you
Haven't you heard? Nobody, nobody, no
Celebrate love when it's over, celebrate life when it's gone
When nobody knows you are wrong
Celebrate life when it's over, celebrate love when it's gone
When nobody knows you are wrong
Nobody says I love you anymore
Kissing in a classroom on a campus on the coast after hours of analysis
I loved you first, yeah, I loved you most
Now it feels like paralysis
And I’ve got no idea where we’re going with this
No, I don’t know where we’re gonna land
And it might go better if do it by the letters
So, I need to know where I stand
Killing in a comedy club in Hollywood after years of psychotherapy
You were gone forever now you say you’re back for good
I swear to God you’re gonna bury me
And the people are laughing
I’m dead on the inside
I’ll do anything you demand
Well you tell me that you love me, yet you won’t even hug me
So, I need to know where I stand
Yes, I need to know where I stand
Would you please?
Tell me if you can, tell me if you can
‘Cause I need
Yes, I need to know where I stand
Quiet in the kitchen of a Cracker Jack box in the Hamlet of Wallkill
I miss you so much that it hurts me to talk
Yet you’re standing right in front of me still
And I’m reaching for you but you’re falling away
This has gotten so out of hand
Well, the world my end in a minute my friend
So, I need to know where I stand
Yes, I need to know where I stand
Would you please?
Tell me if you can, tell me if you can
‘Cause I need
Yes, I need to know where I stand
Yeah, I need to know where I stand
Love in the asylum is a beautiful thing
Stars when your head hits the floor
Shock therapy loses its sting baby you want more
Sex in war-time is sweeter then peace
Yeah, its the one sweet thing about war
One of you is worth a million of these
Baby get out on the dance floor
Get out on the dance floor
Make up your mind, my, my valentine
You say you love me, yet you treat me unkindly
Got to make up your mind, my, my valentine
Give me a signal, baby, show me a sign
Laughter and wartime is a beautiful song
Where does that highway lead
You'll be glad someday that you brought me along, baby
You will have a need
You will have a need
Make up your mind, my, my valentine
You say you love me, yet you treat me unkindly
Got to make up your mind, my, my valentine
Give me a signal, baby, show me a sign
Make up your mind, my, my valentine
You say you love me, yet you treat me unkindly
Got to make up your mind, my, my valentine
Give me a signal, baby, show me a sign
Operation overload, without a doubt
My, my valentine would you please step out
We got to smoke some grass
We're gonna shake our asses
Right this instant
Time passes
You got to reel against it
Time passes
You got to reel against it
Make up your mind, my, my valentine
You say you love me, yet you treat me unkindly
Got to make up your mind, my, my valentine
Give me a signal, baby, show me a sign
Give me a signal, baby show me a sign
Boy, I used to be was upstairs
The girl of my dreams was making herself heard
She could talk for hours on end
The girl of my dreams and never say a word
She wanted things that I couldn't afford
Like a house filled with laughter every night
She wanted things that I couldn't afford
Boy, I used to be got along
Said the right thing to make a dream girl go
She was gone before I woke up
Now I'm downtown putting on a show
I wanted things that I couldn't afford
Like to get along with everybody all the time
I wanted things that I couldn't afford
Like love, like love, like love
Like love, like love, like love
Boy, that I still am tells a joke
New girl of my dreams doesn't even think to laugh
We are all alone in this world
From cradle to grave and maybe after that
We all want things that we'll never afford
Like a house filled with laughter every night
All of these things that we'll never afford
Like love, like love, like love
Like love, like love, like love
Like love, like love, like love
On the long, long lashes of your look
The one you give that says you love me
You don't even have to say you love me
I was long gone long before that look
But now that it's a part of my life
It's by far the best part of my life
I could live on your love and nothing else if I had to
On the long thin fingers of the dawn
The ones we let wrap around us
Now that happiness has found us
I did not have strength to carry on
But I have got strength to spare now
I have come up for air now
I could live on your love and nothing else if I had to
I could live on your love and nothing else if I had to
I could live forever, I could conquer anyone
I could probably fly out of this place
I could make a circle around the sun
I could be so far away that I would be a memory
But every time I hold you in my arms
There's no other place I'd rather be
I could live on your love and nothing else if I had to
I could live on your love and nothing else if I had to
And nothing else if I had to
When I laid my eyes on you I felt a fundamental change
I was a concrete jungle in summer, I was desert aching for rain
Now I tried to tell you that I was no good from the start
But when you opened up your front door I handed you my heart
If it's not love then what is this? What is this?
If you're not gonna be the one you're gonna be the one I miss
If it's not love, if it's not love
Now the whole situation went to hell an hour late
Are you on the side of reason or is your heart made out of hate?
This is the other side of leaving from what I've seen so many times
You make a great big deal out of nothing and then you cut me down to size
If it's not love what is this? What is this?
If you're not gonna be the one you're gonna be the one I miss
If it's not love, if it's not love
I'm always the one who runs but this time I'm the crying one
Now my bad reputation is shot and you're to blame
I'm the loser in the corner and I'm whispering your name
If it's not love what is this? What is this?
If you're not gonna be the one you're gonna be the one I miss
If it's not love what is this? What is this?
If you're not gonna be the one you're gonna be the one I miss
If it's not love, if it's not love
Although she's none the wiser
Although we've barely met
I can recognize her
From the treatment that I get
So it's my duty to advise her
If she breaks the rules
I've said I'll quit though
I'll admit that hasn't happened yet
I believe she's lying
I trust her to undermine my faith in her, in time
I have every confidence that she'll dismantle mine
Given time
As sure as she is sitting here
She's sure that she's awake
And as soon as we're committing
We're admitting our mistake
So of course it's only fitting
That the course we're going to take
Is drawn and whereupon I'm slamming on the brakes
I believe she's lying
I trust her to undermine my faith in her, in time
I have every confidence that she'll dismantle mine
Given time
It's a given, given time
The power of suggestion
The element of chance
And the subject now in question
Is the same old song and dance
And the time that we invest in
Setting traps out in advance
So we could spend the weekend staring in a trance
I believe she's lying
I trust her to undermine my faith in her, in time
I have every confidence that she'll dismantle mine
Given time
There's only one of you parked on a bridge
Wondering if the radio is playing
If you're crazy or there's voices in your head
You've got a heart so big goes all the way to California
Where the water hits the land I hope your folks'll understand
The city is dark but we're not scared
Wrapped up in each other
Making loving out of nothing like the air supplier said
You've got me so far gone I'm past Governor's Island
I'm past the Verrazano Bridge I'm past the Verrazano Bridge
You come and you glow and you hum and you hover
I cannot believe that you're my lover
You come and you glow and you hum and you hover
I cannot believe that you're my lover
I cannot believe
Later in a room picture of a girl
Doesn't do her justice what it does is make you realize
You ought to be with her
I'm talking 'bout right now I mean this instant
When the hip'll meet the hand I hope your folks'll understand
You come and you glow and you hum and you hover
I cannot believe that you're my lover
You come and you glow and you hum and you hover
I cannot believe that you're my lover
I cannot believe that you're my lover
I cannot believe that you're my lover
You're my lover
You're my lover
I'm clinging to this thing haphazardly
I can't hold onto this thing right now
This is what the house feels like without you in it
I'm dreaming of leaving all night these days
I can't come 'round from this dream right now
This is what the house feels like without you in it
This is what the bed feels like without you in it
Whoever named the fall sure did a bang up job
They might as well have been talking 'bout me
Whoever named the fall sure did a bang up job
'Cause I'm falling in and out of your love
Haphazardly, haphazardly
Haphazardly, haphazardly
This is what the world feels like without you in it
You... looked just like my mother
Did when she was 19
Not afraid to die
I... started planning our future
You were just 19
Still a firefly
You got... terrible vision
You shoulda seen I was leavin'
When I first appeared
I... got bit by the footlights
I got caught in the headlights
in any place but here
Never say
You'll never leave
Cuz you'll never know til you try
In a jar
fireflies
Only last for one night
Only last for one night
Trains roll... like gamblers in slow mo
Tryin' to find good luck
When they couldn't find love
Oh yeah, and I'm... gonna sleep on the train tracks
It's gonna be a peaceful night
Then it's gonna get rough
Never say
You'll never leave
Cuz you'll never know til you try
In a jar
fireflies
Only last for one night
Only last for one night
I must have had a reason for leavin'
- Not one I could see
I must have had a reason for leavin'
- Must have been me
- Must have been me...
You... looked just like my mother
Did when she was 19
Not afraid to die
For the last time... I'm not your mother
And I was only 19
I'm dressed all in blue and I'm remembering you
And the dress you wore when you broke my heart
I'm depressed upstairs and I'm remembering where
And when and how and why'd you have to go so far
Am I gonna be lonely for the rest of my life
Am I gonna be lonely for the rest of my life
I'm gonna be lonely for the rest of my life
Unless you come around so come around
I'm dressed all in white and I remember the night
You came on to me and opened up my heart
I was hollow then till you filled me in now I'm empty again
I should have never let it start
Am I gonna be lonely for the rest of my life
Am I gonna be lonely for the rest of my life
I'm gonna be lonely for the rest of my life
Unless you come around so come around
No one else can fix me although sometimes my heart tricks me
Into thinking someone else will do
But you're the only one you are the only one
Am I gonna be lonely for the rest of my life
Am I gonna be lonely for the rest of my life
I'm gonna be lonely for the rest of my life
Unless you come around so come around
So come around so come around
I'm dressed all in blue and I'm remembering you
friend of mine
you're so tall and so thin, all alone
heart, blood, a heart made of stone
take my hand
darling don't squeeze my fingers so hard
yeah we're off to a curious start
please don't leave
because I'm begging you
I would be devastated
'cause I feel like we could've made it
Caroline
Caroline
you're so strong
a picture of cool I must say
I will love you forever today
there you go
please don't leave
'cause I feel like we could've made it
Caroline
Caroline
I am my own arch enemy
I am my own arch enemy
here we go
I can't believe all the things we have done
I cannot believe that I am the one
Caroline
I am my own arch enemy
Caroline
I am my own arch enemy
oh, and I would be devastated
'cause I feel like we could have made it
Caroline
Caroline
I am my own arch enemy
Meet me by the bonfire
Underneath the north star in the sycamores
Tell me that you love me
I'll tell you what I will do forevermore
Close your eyes and see
What this could mean to you and me
Everything is going to change
Meet me in the meadow
Out amongst the shadows and the air so still
Tell me all your big dreams
Tell me 'bout the kind of world you wanna build
Living up to you is an enormous thing to do
Everything is going to change
Isn't it strange? Isn't it strange
How everything will change?
The night is young, the sky is deep
For all we know the whole world's asleep
We've got to let them go
The fire is hot but your hand is cold
Let's fall in love before we get old
Watch the fire glow, watch the fire grow
Everything is going to change
Everything is going to change
Isn't it strange? Isn't strange
How everything will change?
Trouble with girls like you is your so awfully hard to say no to
It's high time that somebody did
So I guess I'm saying no now, I'm amazed that I even know how
I'm shaking just like a kid
You're prettier still than a siren
I'd tell you my name if I had one
The last thing I need is another girlfriend
Two's enough for me, two's enough and you would make three
The trouble with being in love is it's so awfully hard to get out of
You might as well be in jail
The sky's all purple tonight, I'm soaking up the sodium light
Everything is for sale
You're prettier still than an ocean
You'll be better off in the long run
Oh, last thing I need is another girlfriend
Two's enough for me, two's enough and you would make three
Last thing I need, last thing I
Last thing I need, last thing I
Last thing I need, last thing I need
You were sittin' on a gold mine
Workin' in a shop
I was rollin' around in a ghost town
Waitin' on a record to drop
You say you wanna get happy
In your own skin
Well, you shook it up for awhile
And I'm beggin' you to do it again
We had a long weekend
And then you were gone
Wanted to be one in a million
Baby, isn't that wrong?
I've had it up to here with nothin'
I need everything for a change
Ain't that strange, ain't that strange
Ain't that strange, ain't that strange
You got a sad transmission
From deep, deep space
Tried to keep it hid but I sensed it
And I brought you back to my place
We had a love supreme
As you could find
I wanted to be one in a million
Baby, do you mind?
I've had it up to here with nothin'
I need everything for a change
Ain't that strange, ain't that strange
Ain't that strange, ain't that strange
Rock on, yeah
Hurry up and figure it out
'Cause I'm only waitin' 'round for you for so long
And if you want it and you know it that you want
Then you gotta come on, come on, come on, oow, uh
I've had it up to here, I've had it up to here
I've had it up to here with nothin'
I need everything for a change
Ain't' that strange, ain't that strange
Ain't that strange, ain't that strange
all i can say is sweet dreams
everything is sweeter than it sometimes seems
all i can say is sweet dreams
sweetheart
you don't belong to my heart
but so long as life forces us apart
i'll dream of you sweetheart
we met
on friday night i'll never forget
the details are fuzzy,
they haven't faded yet
i might never forget
although it's nothing
nothing is what it seems
but for now all i can say is sweet dreams
la-la-la-la-la-la-la
sweet dreams, ah ya
good night
i long to kiss you good night
if there is a shift in the time-space continuum, i might
til then, good night
although its nothing baby
nothing's what it seems
although its futile,
please include me in your schemes
but for now, all i can say is sweet dreams
la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Call it planet spins
The new unified government sleeps
The tidy pension accrues
She's the sum of the tchotchkes she keeps
She's a hundred years old tonight
In the spring of 2106
In the flickering of video light
Sometimes widow is the word that sticks
Happy birthday, happy birthday, happy birthday
As we all go spinning off into the sky
Happy birthday, happy birthday, happy birthday
Don't die
The planet is covered in steel
Yeah, the moon goes on wasting its light
While the widow is watching the reel
It won't keep her warmed at night
Her children are light years away
Asleep as the ships hurdle on
Where she once had a reason to stay
But her reason is long gone
Happy birthday, happy birthday, happy birthday
As we all go spinning off into the sky
Happy birthday, happy birthday, happy birthday
Don't die, don't die
She gave birth to seven grown men
Oh, and then they each had seven more
She would do it all over again
But the soles of her feet are sore
Nightfall is just an idea
It's suppertime when she succumbs
The tiny pension is real
Plays on although she is done
Happy birthday, happy birthday, happy birthday
As we all go spinning off into the sky
Happy birthday, happy birthday, happy birthday
heartbreaking love
don't come each and every day
you know its not easy
believe me
its hard
but its better this way
i'm alive
for once in my life
and i won't let them take this away from me
no i won't let them take this away from me
heartbreaking love
don't come free
and the money is scarce
these days are all
nights like this
burning thing
love caught us unawares
i'm alive
for once in my life
and i won't let them take this away from me
no i won't let them take this away from me
and when that girl walks its like poetry
i just hope she don't try to walk out on me
cause i can't live without what she does to me
no i can't live with out her
On the long, long lashes of your look
The one you give that says you love me
You don't even have to say you love me
I was long gone long before that look
But now that it's a part of my life
It's by far the best part of my life
I could live on your love and nothing else if I had to
On the long thin fingers of the dawn
The ones we let wrap around us
Now that happiness has found us
I did not have strength to carry on
But I have got strength to spare now
I have come up for air now
I could live on your love and nothing else if I had to
I could live on your love and nothing else if I had to
I could live forever, I could conquer anyone
I could probably fly out of this place
I could make a circle around the sun
I could be so far away that I would be a memory
But every time I hold you in my arms
There's no other place I'd rather be
I could live on your love and nothing else if I had to
I could live on your love and nothing else if I had to
