Wander through the library
Volumes of the deceased
There's no happy endings
History has been cruel
Feel the blood of ages
Flowing through my veins
Still there is no reason
I wonder what's coming
I hear voices
Leading me on
The wise and the strong
Wander through the forest
Losing track of time
Lessons in green and gold
Been growing on for years
I hear Voices
Leading me on
Urging me on
I hear Voices
Leading me on
Urging me on
You see the truth
And you cannot hide
You're so in tune
You feel it inside
Justice revenge
Tickle all over
Lily and sword
Damnation, reward
The spirit of the stairs
Everyone thinks but no one dares
Wishes made a sad lament
After he's gone
Ridicule or envy
Now you can't forget me
I'm fixed in your mind
Like a knot in the twine
To the dark and pouring rain
Into the trap she sets again
Hear my wooden footsteps on her train
Hear my wooden footsteps again
Tough outer shell
But so you can tell
She's soft underneath
Where you sink your teeth
Look sad, too bad, you're tongue tied
How many times a day you're too dumb or too shy
Two, three, four, five, count the stairs
Spirit hears what I should have said
And she knows why
Don't ask the question
'Cos you won't like the answer
Get up off your chair
There's nothing for you here
Where the guests like souvenirs
They play with you 'till you're all worn out
Back where the guests like souvenirs
Prison color blue
It's a uniform of choice
Count yourself lucky
That you don't write the software
And the guests like souvenirs
They play with you 'till you're all worn out
Back where the guests like photographs
They hope, you had a good night
Loosen up your tie, make the viewers cry
I cannot pretend to cry, memorize by heart
Every single part, there's nothing for you here
Where the guests like souvenirs
They play with you 'till you're all worn out
Back where the guests like souvenirs
See it, anyone, got my eyes, got my face
Sing it, everyone, got my nose, got my blood
My conscience plays upon me now
Safe until my luck runs out
The cuckoos call
The pendulum swings
I thought you knew everything
Lift my hands, make the cross
Sinner, I have never learned
Beginner, I cannot return
Forever I must walk this earth
Like some forgotten soldier
But these things I should keep to myself
But I feel somehow strangely compelled
Under moonlight I stood, wild and naked
I felt no shame, just my spirit awakened
Sinner, seen everything, got my eyes, got my face
Fireball drop from the sky
All my dreams have come to pass
Where's my faith, is it lost?
I can't see it till I cast it off
Sinner, there is no such thing
Beginner, I have learned to sing
Forever I must walk this earth
Like some forgotten soldier
Today I am still disconnected
To the face that I saw in the clouds, yeah
And the closest I get to contentment
Is when all of the barriers come down
Sinner, these things I should keep to myself
But I feel somehow strangely compelled
The closest I get to contentment
Is when all of the barriers come down
Sinner, sinner, sinner
Got my eyes, got my face
See it, anyone, got my nose, got my blood
(Finn)
I might be old but I'm someone new she said
I'm so sore that I could cry always
In the night lay your tired arms
She will have her way
Somehow I will still believe her
It's the life I've been frightened of she said
Deathly silence and especially the dark
Feels like I am heavy and my spirit has died
She will have her way
One day I will come back
Still no end in sight
Though I travel far and wide
A dying man is doing time
Thinker, soldier terrified
And she will have her way
Somehow I will still believe her
Here's someone now whose got the muscle
His steady hand could move a mountain
Expert in bed but come on now
There must be something missing
That golden one leads a double life
You'll find out
But I don't know where you go
Do you climb into space
To the world where you live
The world where you live
So here we lie against each other
These four walls can never hold us
We're looking for wide open spaces
High above the kitchen
And we're strangers here
On our way to some other place
But I don't know where you go
Do you climb into space
To the world where you live
The world where you live
The world where you live
When friends come round
You might remember and be sad
Behind their eyes is unfamiliar
Do you climb into space
To the world where you live
Walking round the room singing stormy weather
At 57 Mount Pleasant Street
Now it's the same room but everything's different
You can fight the sleep but not the dream
Things ain't cooking
In my kitchen
Strange afliction wash over me
Julius Caeser
And the Roman Empire
Couldn't conquer the blue skies
Well there's a small boat made of china
It's going nowhere on the mantlepiece
Do i lie like a lounge room lizard
Or do i sing like a bird released
The hangman's in the noose
The prisoner is loose
The wheel has come around
And the velvet curtain coming down
And left it there
A suitcase on a chair
I feel my weight
And something tells me
There's a river underground
In a place where there's no one to be found
And no one came to see
The oldest show in town
The oldest show in town
The oldest show in town
Santa's on the cross
Innocence is lost
The music's in your mind
And the windscreen wipers move in time
No one came to see
The oldest show in town
The oldest show in town
And the stranger was a ghost
The killer was a priest
Took the first excuse
Made the madness seem cute lipped
On your own you'll find your own escape
There are many ways to choose
And I don't know which one you should take
A home is all you want
On the back of a truck driving down the street
It doesn't seem so much
But it's all you need to make your life complete
No one came to see
The oldest show in town
The oldest show in town
The oldest show in town
No one came to see
I lean the slightest bit towards you
White turns into brown, light goes to black
Your eyes danced in my reflection
There?s a light overhead, overhead
In the sky overhead, overhead
And I?m with you now
Body and music and mind
And we?re silent and still
Everything's so out of control tonight
In a plane that?s flying past
At a speed that makes me cry
Have you left me now
To trouble that won?t let me lie
I?m awake all the time
You know where I stand
Holding my plastic gun
Turn and run
You cold killers of innocence
Against us there?s no defense
Your flash and your wickedness
You can?t break our love
Tie my hands behind my back
Put a gag on top of my mouth
But I won?t give you up
Till silverware's covered in dust
And my shoes fall apart
The tumbleweed runs
Over my desert heart
Turn and run
You cold killers of innocence
Against us there?s no defense
Your flash and your wickedness
Will surely bring you down again
Now somehow we will stay afloat
We won?t give in to the undertow
There're some things you will never know
But you can?t break our love
[Incomprehensible] down
But you can?t break our love
You can [incomprehensible] down
But you can?t break our love
You can?t break our love
Tales from my head
Can't buy the book
No one's listening but I guess you could
Try whistling this
You say you're tired
Liquid as water
But you'll succumb now as I stroke your back
I'm the best that you know
And every time you think of me
I hope you think of true romance
And every time you want to leave
You give us both another chance
Warmest welcome violent stranger
He said come here as he pushed me down
Impossible to do
In high heels walking into walls
Ever wonder if you're here at all
Try whistling this
And my words are ringing in your ears
Drawing your attention now to all the things that you ignore
If I can't be with you I would rather have a different face
And if I can't be near you I would rather be adrift in space
And if the gods desert us now I'll turn this chapel into flames
Remember who we are, supple and new
If I lose my way you'd tell me the truth for all it's worth
Lifting up your hand, show me my rescue
What I said, truth is worth more than pride
Truth is worth more than pride
Everything you do continues long after you've gone
Circle overhead, view from the bed, so high and lonely
Sixteen times a day, he comes to ground
To get some attention
'Cause what I said, truth is worth more than pride
Truth, it cannot be denied
Truth is worth more than pride
They have showered me with riches
And they say that I am worthy of their love
And their attention but they still don't know the truth
Everything you do continues long after you've gone
What I said, truth is worth more than pride
Truth cannot be denied
Truth is worth more than pride
View from the bed, so high and lonely
So high and lonely
Truth is worth more than pride, hey hey
View from the bed, so high and lonely
So high and lonely
Beside me now are strangers to my eyes
They might be getting crazy, might be wise
Were stranded either way in such a lonely place
I'm looking out for you among the flies
That wait in line for days on end
And nights so cold and always so intense
I try to reach the top most every day
In hope I turn my face up to the sky
The cover hangs so low, I see no sign of life
Nothing springs to mind
Among the flies that wait in line
For days on end and nights so cold, always so intense
Here we are
There's a smile between us and it's going on
You and me have always gotten through
Anyone can tell you that it's true
You feel it every time, you drive away from home
The headlights hypnotize and they take you off towards the sea
Into the night, you run away with thoughts you cannot hide
Vacant eyes can't describe my hunger
For your billowing arms
Mother, I can't help thinking of you
Real and right and true
The sky is blue
Everlasting arms
are holding you
Sweet secret peace
Sweet secret peace
Beautiful are you
your hands are new
All you feel is
real and right and true
Sweet secret peace
Secret
Sweet secret peace
Real and right and true
will turn into
The secret peace
inside the heart of you
Sweet secret peace
Sweet secret peace
Sweet secret peace
Ooh, now let's get down tonight
Baby I'm hot just like an oven
I need some lovin'
And baby, I can't hold it much longer
It's getting stronger and stronger
And when I get that feeling
I want Sexual Healing
Sexual Healing, oh baby
Makes me feel so fine
Helps to relieve my mind
Sexual Healing baby, is good for me
Sexual Healing is something that's good for me
Whenever blue tear drops are falling
And my emotional stability is leaving me
There is something I can do
I can get on the telephone and call you up baby, and
Honey I know you'll be there to relieve me
The love you give to me will free me
If you don't know the things you're dealing
I can tell you, darling, that it's Sexual Healing
Get up, Get up, Get up, Get up, let's make love tonight
Wake up, Wake up, Wake up, Wake up, 'cos you do it right
Baby I got sick this morning
A sea was storming inside of me
Baby I think I'm capsizing
The waves are rising and rising
And when I get that feeling
I want Sexual Healing
Sexual Healing is good for me
Makes me feel so fine, it's such a rush
Helps to relieve the mind, and it's good for us
Sexual Healing, baby, is good for me
Sexual Healing is something that's good for me
And it's good for me and it's good to me
My baby ohhh
Come take control, just grab a hold
Of my body and mind soon we'll be making it
Honey, oh we're feeling fine
You're my medicine open up and let me in
Darling, you're so great
I can't wait for you to operate
I can't wait for you to operate
Lets go climb up on the roof
In the twilight 360 degree views
As we lie down
Watch the fading light turn into stars
There you are
Secret God, breathe my name
Secret God, stir up the dust
Whisper my name
This reminds me of another place
Lonesome Wolf comes down from the hills
It is walking in circles howling at the moon
In another life, he will be enchanted by a woman
Secret God, stir up the dust
Breathe my name
Secret God, stir up the dust
Whisper my name
In my mind
See a man collapse
In the doorway of a restaurant
Holding my hand out
The first one there to help him up
Secret God, stir up the dust
Whisper my name
Secret God, stir up the dust
Breathe my name
Time on hand, stir up the dust
Breathe my name
Secret God, whisper my name
Totally wired and the game is up, I'm under the table
You carry my heart in the palm of your hand
As the clouds roll in, the party was rained out, open up to find
A man made home and by four o'clock
When the sun came out, we were beside ourselves
Taking the rest of the day off
Lying out the back
Slung in a hammock and gathering reams
Of space and time
Two eyes that surrender the call
Might come, fire my anger and spoil the whole thing
Not much fun when the pressure's on
And your luck has gone but you squeeze my hands
We're taking the rest of the day off
We like to climb the rock
Before we have lunch and we'll turn our backs
On the whole damn bunch
Ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah
[Incomprehensible]
You find the answer walking the dog down the south of Piha
Over and done, not a lot to say when the man calls up
The line goes dead and you're yesterday's news
I couldn't care less now, I'm here with you
We're the only ones left and we're flat on our backs
Taking the rest of the day off
You find it don't add up to much
When you're wrapped in a blanket of stars
With the one you love, hey
Like two shiny dogs, hey
Endless travel can't remember
where I've been
lying in this hammock, feeling tragic
like the ones you hear so much about
can't wait to tell you what I've seen
skim the water, South Atlantic
ocean grey
always searching for his mate
lonely albatross cannot find them
the ones you care so much about
they're lost and you're losing
your way
too much pressure, gin and tonic water
they'll forget you, the ones you care
so much about
they'll surrender to the need
Youre not the girl you think you are, no no
Theyre not his shoes under your bed, yeah yeah
Hell take you places in his car
That you wont forget, no
And all the people that you know, yeah
Will turn their heads as you go by
But youll be hard to recognize
With the top down and the wind blowing, blowing
He wont deceive you but tell you the truth
Woman, hell be no trouble
He wont write you letters
Full of excuses
Come on, believe you have one in a million
Youre not the girl you think you are, yeah
Someones standing in your place
The bathroom mirror makes you look tall
But its all in your head, in your head
He wont deceive you but tell you the truth
Woman, hell be no trouble
He wont write you letters
Full of excuses
Come on, believe you have one in a million
He wont deceive you but tell you the truth
Come on, believe you have one
Youre not the girl you think you are
Believe you have one
Youre not the girl you think you are
Believe you have one
Here lies a place
Won't let me languish
Hears all my footsteps and waits
Watch how she fades into the sunset
A vision spectacular in grace
Hunger for the world, travel
Stimulating discussion, lift me
Faster into the weakness
Off the wall into blackness, gifted
Red eyes reflect, open the suitcase
Spread all your clothes on the floor
Much like it was ten years ago
Time on the clock, I don't want to waste it
Hunger for the world, travel
Stimulating discussion, lift me
Faster into the weakness
Off the wall into blackness, gifted, gifted
Watch how she fades into the sunset
Vision spectacular in grace
Hunger for the world, travel
Stimulating discussion, lift me
Faster into the weakness
Off the wall into blackness, gifted
And I'm away from home
And it's a way of life and I'm a flyin' high
Now I'm a wheeling gull
Here now I come to rest
Under a lion rock, over marine parade
Maybe this time
Maybe this time
Here I'll stay
Maybe this time
I don't want to say "I love you"
That would give away too much.
Good to be detached and precious,
the only thing you feel is vicious.
I don't want to say "I want you"
even though I want you so much.
It's wrapped up in conversation,
it's whispered in a hush.
Though I'm frightened by the word,
think it's time that it was heard.
No more empty self possession,
visions swept under the mat.
It's no New Years resolution,
it's more than that.
Now I wake up happy
warm in lovers embrace.
No one else can touch us
while we're in this place.
So I'll sing it to the world
this simple message to my girl.
No more empty self possession,
visions swept under the mat.
It's no New Year's resolution,
it's more than that.
Though I'm frightened by the word,
think it's time I made it heard.
So I'll sing it to the world
this simple message to my girl.
No more empty self possession,
visions swept under the mat.
It's no New Years resolution,
it's more than that.
Oh there's nothing quite as real
as the touch of your sweet hands.
I can't spend the rest of my life
Goodnight, bless you
Let angels possess you
You'll make dreams of another life
Don't think it's too much
To close eyes and leave us
In strange places we'll come undone
And the building blocks sometimes have to crash
Not built to last like a mother's love
Real life it's all true
You know how I'll miss you
In quiet places I'll come undone
The building blocks sometimes have to crash
Not built to last like a mother's love
Sleep comes when all is laid to rest
That's where you'll find what you're looking for
Strange feelings you can't explain
Wild forces you can't contain
And the building blocks sometimes have to crash
Not built to last like your mother's love
Peace comes when fear is laid to rest
Remember my loose tongue
Forget what I just said
I'd crawl over broken glass
If we could start again
Before our plans were made
When the world was young
The house is falling down
Because of my loose tongue
Shouldn't say so much
Talk so loud
No sooner on your lips
It's all over town
In all our given days
How many gone to waste
A good man has been hung
Because of my loose tongue
Your skin is changing its hue
Your guard is coming down fast
Looks like someone I knew
Uncovered happiness at last, yeah
And all the wagging tongues
Too much information
In the future now
Under massive doubt
The papers on the street
Get trampled under feet
And they settled for a princely sum
You know, know, know
Goodwill is coming down
When it rains your well is full, yeah
Well, you shouldn't ask me, you shouldn't ask me
You want the real story, you shouldn't ask me
You better find someone else to get the house key
You know the pressure on his personal life
You know the man's walking on the edge of a knife
The tails keep growing and nose keeps growing
And after sometime you forget what you know
How a fleeting container, a psycho sycophant
It's feeling like a kid shouting tin can
Got the poor man nailed to the floor
And that's not nothing you wanted a bit more, yeah
He's only halfway through his life
I went down the track, made the wrong turn
Finished up where I started
Noticed a change come over me
Fell in love with my own reflection, yeah
How does it feel beneath your own wheel?
Feel like an accident waking up
Under a bus with my fingers crossed
Now is the time we could make it up
So, you lost the fear, it wasn't that bad
Left to your own devices, yeah
Still a young girl, eyes on the clock
Tick like a motor running out
Magnets and words up on the fridge
Speak to the poet in all of us
I missed the page that you thought about
Drew in the frost on the windowpane
And who I wonder could fail to notice
The aching silence come down
I'm humbled now
I hope you might come back
In your own time
Left to your own devices
And so, that's how it goes
Hand me down my favorite coat
Show what you're made of, surprise us both
Fly in the night, slow down town
Brake too fast, bring us 'round, bring us 'round
And our finest days have come
Summer nights go on so long
So high, I might as well be gone
And you are magnificent
I can see you with my eyes closed
You're the last one standing
Lean and hungry with a fire in your eyes
I'll play catch up, you can show me where it's at
I'll go along with anything that you want to do
Everyday, I'm making ground
So high, I might as well be gone
And you are magnificent
And I can see you with my eyes closed
When you're walking into my house
I'll be the last one standing
If you want, you can get there
Night vision and I find your white doves
Landing in your treasure towers
And I promise that I won't look back
Everyday I'm making ground
So high I might as well be gone
And you are magnificent
And I can see you with my eyes closed
When you're walking into my house
I'll be the last one standing
And you are magnificent
And I can see you with my eyes closed
When you're walking into my house
It's a dark and empty room
The sun beating hard on your door
Feel emotion roar within you
You're flesh and blood like anyone
Make some sense of your life
Move your hand and make the mark
I don't know why you're so confused
You're flesh and blood, there's no excuse
And the hunger inside
Won't go away, it's starting to rise
And the longer you hide
The more you deny
And the sea rushes in
The wind is howling at your back
The past is always overturned
It's a dead man who would refuse
And twice the man to fill his shoes
And the hunger inside
Won't go away, it's starting to rise
And the longer you hide
The more you deny
And the hunger inside
Won't go away, it's starting to rise
And the sea rushes in
Into my world
I can feel the king tide coming
All my senses overflowing
One night waiting out the back
Horns blow and cymbals crash
So paint a circle in the sky
I lay breathless in the arms of love
There's a bruise on my back
I can see clearly now the rain is gone,
I can see all obstacles in my way,
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind.
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright) sunshiny day.
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright) sunshiny day.
I think I can make it now the pain is gone,
And all of the bad feelings have disappeared,
Here is the rainbow I've been praying for.
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright) sunshiny day.
Look all around, nothing but blue skies.
Look straight ahead, nothing but blue skies.
I can see clearly now the rain is gone.
I can see all obstacles in my way.
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind.
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright) sunshiny day.
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright) sunshiny day.
Saw myself in a leisure suit
Pretty white trash
Floating on the surface of life
Always comes to this
That emptiness
No matter how many toys you've got
Its not enough
Not ever enough
To take away the aching in your heart
For Human kindness
No one's sleeping
In a deafening silence
There's no address
No number listed
For the one that took the shot
Ready or not
His riteous and twisted crusade
Is over now
We need someone else
To take away the aching in our hearts
For human kindness
No one's sleeping
In a deafening silence
And there's a time for it
For human kind, for human kind
Alright, alright
I want to cry so hard
Want to break down
Feels so good
I wanna fly all night
Make you laugh
Make you feel good
No matter how many toys you've got
Its not enough
Not ever enough
To take away the anguish in our hearts
For human kindness
Is anyone asleep tonight?
In a deafening silence
We'll take it away from us
If you don't make time
For human kind
I wanna ride all night
Make you laugh
It feels so good
I want to cry so hard
Want to break down
Take it down, mess it up, light a match, make a fire
Walk away as the money burns, it might just save your life
I play the happenstance, oh, I see my fortune fly
Sometime you lift it up, another long day goes by
And I won't travel into the straw daylight desire
I wrote that some Eskimo gave me the line
Sit back and watch the money burn, five days in a hot house hell
Once you're gone there's no return but I never wanna let you lie+ 0.50
I want my love to burn, hotter than a comet's tail
I want my bed to cry, I never wanna let you down
And I won't travel into the straw daylight desire
I wrote that some Eskimo gave me the line
And all I ever do is therapy, one on one, one on one
And you and I, we might want the same thing, one on one, one on one
I don't want a teacher to remind me, one on one, one on one
Well , how to get something better out of my life, life, life, yeah
I play the happenstance, well, I see my fortune fly
Every time you lift the cup and another long day goes by
And I won't travel into the pale moonlight desire
I wrote that some Eskimo gave me the line
Your freedom, wow it's so precious that it makes me hurt
I learnt that my teachers were my loneliness
And wisdom can be passed on by the one who's left
Close your eyes go to sleep
Close your eyes get so dizzy
World is spinning in your bed
I know where the sun goes
It's waking up the sparrows
In England it's morning
In time you'll see that some things
Travel faster than light
In time you'll recognise
That love is larger than life
Now you know what you're missing
Now you've seen that I'm willing
If you're looking for the message
Close your eyes
Do you hear what I'm thinking?
Is it how you imagined?
In time you'll see that some things
Travel faster than light
In time you'll recognise
That love is larger than life
And praise will come to those whose kindness
Leaves you without debt
And bends the shape of things
That haven't happened yet
Close your eyes
Colours changing like a lizard
Close your eyes
I know where the sun goes
I have seen the world turning
In time you'll find that some things
Travel faster than light
In time you'll recognise that love is larger than life
And praise will come to those whose kindness
Leaves you without debt
And bends the shape of things to come
I'm really close tonight
And I feel like I'm moving inside her
Lying in the dark
I think that I'm beginning to know her
Let it go
I'll be there when you call
Whenever I fall at your feet
And you let your tears rain down on me
Whenever I touch your slow turning pain
You're hiding from me now
There's something in the way that you're talking
The words don't sound right
But I hear them all moving inside you
Go, I'll be waiting when you call
Whenever I fall at your feet
And you let your tears rain down on me
Whenever I touch your slow turning pain
The finger of blame has turned upon itself
And I'm more than willing to offer myself
Do you want my presence or need my help
Who knows where that might lead
I fall at your feet
And you let your tears rain down on me
Spring back elastic heart
We are not angry now
Somehow we both dissolve
All our weight is gone
And tenderness
Is ours again
Can we forget the past
Find us an open road
Picture the two of us
Window caravan
Silhouette against the sky
As we spin around with our arms entwined
Delirious
In love
Spring back elastic heart
We are not angry now
Picture the two of us
With our arms entwined
We should be thankful then
For our disgrace
Everybody wants the same thing
Everybody wants the same thing
To see another birthday...
Look at all the pretty numbers
Look at all the pretty numbers
Scattered over the calendar
I can see my reflection
I can see my reflection
In the shop window
Who owns that space?
Declare it if you dare tonight
Don't let the moment pass until another day
Bright lights dissolve
Like sugar deep inside you now
All is not the same somehow
I'm hardly here at all
All the trash and the treasure,
All the trash and the treasure,
All the pain and the pleasure.
Taste the edible flowers,
Taste the edible flowers,
Scattered in the salad-days(?)
Who owns that space?
Declare it if you dare tonight
Don't let the moment pass until another day
Bright lights dissolve
Like sugar deep inside you now
And still the rain keeps coming down.
I'm hardly here at all.
Everything's gone quiet now
Deadlines again
Feel like hiding out
No sign of comfort yet
Have a nap while no ones looking
Bring some inspiration to the man
In my head
A namesake out of reach
Strange days upon us now
We leave the dust of conversation
Hanging in the light above the bed
Leave me now
Cos tonight its driving me mad
I guess I'll be all right
But tonight it's driving me mad
Year after year
Demons always come
Fail to materialise
Way beyond my understanding
Find my only comfort in your hands
Hold me now
Cos tonight its driving me mad
This dream can fill you up
But tonight it's driving me mad
Hey diamond girl
Restless in my head
Say what lies between us
A host of everyday distractions
But most of all its music taking me
It's driving me mad
Still I can't refuse
Even when it's driving me mad
I guess I'll be all right
When tomorrow brings some relief
This dream can fill you up
Remove yourself from the past
Wherever you are you don't have to step
Old and wise lions eyes
I wish you were here to give me advice
Lightweight, dream date
Fly or fall, it's your call
In the club, halfway up, whiskey at five
A weekend retreat, brave and young
The bells have rung, they're playing the tune
I'm tapping my feet
Lightweight, dream date
There is freedom within, there is freedom without
Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup
There's a battle ahead, many battles are lost
But you'll never see the end of the road
While you're traveling with me
Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
We know they won't win
Now I'm towing my car, there's a hole in the roof
My possessions are causing me suspicion but there's no proof
In the paper today tales of war and of waste
But you turn right over to the T.V. page
Now I'm walking again to the beat of a drum
And I'm counting the steps to the door of your heart
Only shadows ahead barely clearing the roof
Get to know the feeling of liberation and relief
Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
I never been to heaven but it feels alright
And I woke up this morning with a permanent smile
I walk in through your door
Hit the lights and get ready
As we hit the floor let our fingers do the walking
And the yellow pages will be flying through the sky
Maybe someone shook her leg
On a sailboat south of China
But you don't ask why
Got my picture on your mirror
Got my number on your notice board
And you don't ask why
Got my heart where I want it
Breathing heavy on her sinker lips
And you don't ask why
Sometimes life is getting better
And it happens on it's own
it's beyond my control
don't get to fast don't get too slow
Your messing with the beat like a samba meets a salsa baby
Error gorilla know what I mean
You get the biggest effect from the smallest machine
Whos that playing like Krupa on her fingertips And you don't ask why
Got my picture on your mirror
Got my number on your notice board
And you don't ask why
Got my heart where I want it breathing heavy on her sinker lips
And you don't ask why
Somehow life it getting better
And it happens on it's own
Where does love come from I don't know
So come on baby you're the chosen one
You know exactly what I need
You know exactly when the time has come
She was more like a beauty queen from a movie scene
I said don't mind, but what do you mean I am the one
Who will dance on the floor in the round
She said I am the one, who will dance on the floor in the round
She told me her name was Billie Jean, as she caused a scene
Then every head turned with eyes that dreamed of being the one
Who will dance on the floor in the round
People always told me be careful of what you do
And don't go around breaking young girls' hearts
And mother always told me be careful of who you love
And be careful of what you do 'cause the lie becomes the truth
Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son
She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son
For forty days and for forty nights
The law was on her side
But who can stand when she's in demand
Her schemes and plans
'Cause we danced on the floor in the round
So take my strong advice, just remember to always think twice
(Do think twice)
She told my baby we'd danced till three, then she looked at me
Then showed a photo my baby cried his eyes were like mine (oh, no!)
'Cause we danced on the floor in the round, baby
People always told me be careful of what you do
And don't go around breaking young girls' hearts
She came and stood right by me
Then the smell of sweet perfume
This happened much too soon
She called me to her room
Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son
Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son
She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son
She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son
Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son
She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son
She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son
She says I am the one
Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is
Billie Jean is
Billie Jean is
Not my lover
Not my lover
Not my lover
Not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover (she is just a girl)
Billie Jean is not my lover (she is just a girl)
Billie Jean is not my lover (she is just a girl)
Billie Jean is not my lover (she is just a girl)
Billie Jean is
Billie Jean is
Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is
Billie Jean is
Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is
You weightless astronaut, you sunset diving bird
You cool wind set upon the branches of a tree
You holding my attention, you are my first impression
And I can recognize the life that I've been given
One day they will discover you
Low cloud moving cross the sky
One day they will uncover you
Young girl wash the sleep out of your eyes
Dust on my piano, wool rest never sleeping
All your best one liners borrowed from a film
The thing that gets to me is how you're never free
And how the spirit yearns
Your body is a prison
One day they will discover you
Low cloud moving cross the sky
One day they will uncover you
The thing that gets to me
Is how you're never free
And how the spirit yearns
Your body is a prison
Bright as her eyes wide in the night
Why can't you see me?
Come with the wind, time to begin
There'll be no compromise
When all you want is wrapped around you
As those saints preserve us when we're dying
To pick us up from where we're lying
One day they will discover you
One day they will uncover you
Bright as her eyes wide in the night
They will discover you
I see a dog upon the road
Running hard to catch a cat
My car is pulling to a halt
The truck behind me doesn't know
Everything is in the balance
Of a moment, I can't control
And your sympathetic strings
Are like the stirrings in my soul
I could go anytime
There's nothing safe about this life
I could go anytime
Find the meaning of the act
Remember how it goes
Every time you take the water
You swim against the flow
The world is all around us
The days are flying past
And fear is so contagious
But I'm not afraid to laugh
I could go anytime
There's nothing safe about this life
I could go anytime
Anytime
(Come without warning)
Anytime
(It could be so easy)
A walk in the park
(Or maybe when I'm sleeping)
Anytime
(See the clouds come over)
Rain or shine
(I make you so unhappy)
Let's make it right
I feel like I'm in love
With a stranger I'll never know
Although you're still a mystery
I'm so glad I'm not alone
I could go anytime
There's nothing safe about this life
Make it so easy to fly in the night
I could go anytime
There's nothing safe about this life
I could go anytime
Hear the words a jumble, try this tongue twister
Kevin has a caterpillar squeezed between his fingers
Hear the mailman come, see what he delivers
And you wait
And it makes you feel strange
As if you were afraid
And you lie
With a look to the side
And you say
I was addicted to the drug
But now I know when I've had enough
Could curl up and sleep on the floor
But I'm riding the train a hundred miles an hour
It feels like this train might never stop
Watching static on the television
When the morning comes
And you wait
And it makes you feel strange
As if you are deranged
With a look to the side
And you say
I was addicted to the drug
But now I know when I've had enough
So far, you've come so far
You've come so far
