I wanna be the better man by far
But the air is thin up here
On the higher ground
Above the clouds
You are my fall
And I am your own religion
And I don't know why but I hate you, I hate you
And I don't know how but you keep me staring at your fingers
Fighting with my mind, but you've got someone else in mind
And oh my god, I can't believe it's true
I leave it up, I leave it up to you
And I've got, oh I've got so much time
And I've got, oh I've got so much time
But you've got someone else in mind
And oh my god, I can't believe it's true
I leave it up, oh I leave it up to you
And I've got, oh I've got so much time

So, the way that these things go
Often finds me singing in my pillow
And the way that these things are
Often finds me crying in the car
And my love, it is as wide
As my jealousy is bitter and cruel
But it feels like someone died
You are still pretending you're not telling any lies
And I am still pretending I believe you
But this is just a business, and I don't feel any pain
Just as long as no one says your name
And all the years of being broke
And all the spit and all the smoke
And all the fucking, all the drugs
All the love was not enough
You take my guts, I'll take the car
Welcome, stranger, here you are
Never seen your face before now
Welcome, stranger
Nice to meet you
You are still pretending you're not telling any lies
And I am still pretending I believe you
But this is just a business; no, I don't feel any pain
Just as long as no one says your name

You know it's easy to get me to stay
You know that you'd never fail
You know that it's easy to get me to stay
With you in the belly of the whale
You know I can't be where I am tonight
We're tying a twist in the tale
You know I can't be where I am tonight
With you in the belly of the whale
And I will sing for you
And slow your head down for a little while
Yeah, I will sing for you
Just don't ask me if this is what I want
'Cause I know that you know that it's not
Just don't ask me if this is what I want

I begin by saying
You were right
When you suggested
I was looking for some feeling
That wasn't to be found
Except for in the pages
And poetry of ages
All that teenage fury
I hope you wrote that down
I admit that
At the start it shook me
I confess, it took me
Several months of fury
To burn that city down
But now that I am older
My blood seems to run colder
And I don't get that feeling
When you are around
In it's stead, I have steady hands
And in it's place, I am making plans
And in the space where I used to spit and scream
There is measurement of temperament
I cultivate my teenage dreams
So again, into the fray
Again, go see you play
Again, just drum and bass
Again, your perfect face
But I don't care about the future
And all I can say to you
Is I don't want to hurt you
And I don't think that you do
Want for me to search you
For your teenage fury
Now that we are grown
So it stands, a monument
Still there
The same thing, self aware
Just shadows in the dark
My favourite work of art
I think it's finished
Shall we hang it in the gallery?
All that teenage fury
Of my very own
Of my very own
Of my very own

Here are the swallows
They live in your guitar
And underneath the lightbulbs
They're swimming in the air
Whisper in my ear
Whisper in my ear
Whisper in my ear
Here is a fire
Impossible to see
Fire in the space between who I am
And who I want to be
Sing it in my ear
Sing it in my ear
Sing it in my ear
Sing it in my ear, ear
Sing it in my ear
Sing it in my ear
Sing it in my ear
Let's go to the river
I will throw all of the others in
Let's go to the river, darling
I will throw all my other lovers in
And when it is over
When all is said in song
All of the swallows, they go back
To the, to the place where they came
They're singing in my ear
Singing in my ear
Singing in my ear
Singing in my ear, ear
Singing in my ear
Singing in my ear
Singing in my ear
Everybody knows your name
But I will sing it just the same
Everybody knows your name
But I will sing it just the same
Let's go to the factory
I will show you where to bury me
Let's go to the factory, darling
I'll show you where all my poems should be
Sing it in my ear
Sing it in my ear
Sing it in my ear
Sing it in my ear, ear
Sing it in my ear
Sing it in my ear
Sing it in my ear
Sing it in my ear
Sing it in my ear
Sing it in my ear
Sing it in my ear, ear
Sing it in my ear
Sing it in my ear

I'm not the saviour of modern religion
Not the messiah, not a magician, I don't know why
But I was not meant for this tropical city
I drive by your house and hope you cannot see me
And I don't know why I keep coming back
Cause it still feels like a heart attack and
Honestly, you know how to pull the devil out of me
You act like it's so easy
You're a one man guy
A one man show
A one man band on the radio
And I'm at that stage where the moon could catch fire
We're down to the wire, we're down to the wire
We're down to the war, we're down to the war
And I've been listening to such terrible thoughts by such terrible people
And I never know who is good and who is evil
Just take what you want, what you want is what I want to give you
And honestly, you know how to pull the devil out of me
You act like it's so easy
You're a one man guy
A one man show
A one man band on the radio
And even though we're just holding on to what you used to know
I'm just keeping on with all my keeping on

Lord I know,
How it can ache,
The place you go,
Soul at stake.
In your hotel,
Oh,you're Lightwell,
Least you've always got somewhere to go.
And how you reach across the map,
You stretch so far, but you never snap.
In your hotel,
Oh, you're Lightwell,
Least you've always got somewhere to go.
Cause no-ones gonna keep you here,
Nobody tied you to the pier,
There's no-one swimming back to land,
No SOS in the sand,
And lord, you are the brightest light,
The brightest light on the horizon.
Mmhmm x8
Lord it hurts, yeah I know that it hurts like hell,
Lord it hurts, yeah I know that it hurts like hell,
But you do it so well.
So if you don't know,
What I am,
I'll tell you I am a hologram,
In your hotel
Oh, you're Lightwell,

Hey, How we breath And how we choke
The night is black Your heart is broke
Oh into shaves And into shards
We smash like glass We fall like stars
Leave it alone
Leave it alone
I know you're dangerous
I know you're dangerous
Oh, I know the broken-hearted sing 'Hallelujah'
I'll call you Holy Moses
You got no name You're just a number
You're still a stranger You got no shame
I watch you walking You look like smoke
It should be haunting But no one's watching
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
I know I'll pay for this
I know I'll pay for this
Even though you say I don't believe you
And I, I call you Holy Moses
I know, I know you're keeping all your secrets to yourself
I know, I know you're holding onto mine as well
But you look like a dead man, Yeah you're all skin and bones
There's nothing I can do for you now, Holy Moses oh..
You're still a stranger, You're on the make
You've got this fever You're such a snake
I hope you're happy It's such a shame
You wear the snakeskin I wear the blood yeah
Leave it alone
Leave it alone
I know you're dangerous
I know you're dangerous
Oh, I know the broken-hearted sing 'Hallelujah'
Everybody sing 'Hallelujah'
Even though I mean nothing to you

Oh, Captain of my industry
Oh, cigarettes and company
I'm never where I want to be:
The dirty, dirty ground
Oh, Halloween! The blood you drew
You carved a space to climb into
And like a lantern, like a pyre
I burn, I burn with holy fire
I talk when I don't have to
And I hope it doesn't matter
'Cause we know what we know
And I don't know how you do it
But I change and you see to it
That we ain't got no show
And all I could see in the ink of the dark
Was your cigarette, breathing like beating heart
I fold mine in, like origami
It might look pretty, but you do not know me
I talk when I don't have to
And I hope it doesn't matter
'Cause we know what we know
And I don't know how you do it
But I change and you see to it
That we ain't got no show
Oh, Halloween! Oh, jealous star
Are you who you say you are?
I thought you would have found me out by now
Oh, Halloween! The blood you drew
You carved a space to climb into
I don't know what I should have seen
Oh, not since Halloween
Oh, not since Halloween
No, not since Halloween
No, not since Halloween
Halloween

First of all I was surprised
How you looked into the mirror
I could see the holy spirit there
You saw a dancing bear
You were young and I was younger
I did everything you said
I remember my big sister
I was five and she was ten
Taught me most of what I know
How to swim and play piano
I remember how you held my hand
The first time I heard Graceland
Never had to learn my numbers
Never had to learn to share
On the floor and in the garden
Judy Garland, Fred Astaire
You could be easily me
And I could be easily you
And I know I would be proud
To say it if it were true
And all the things that I've said
And things that I've done to you
You were young and I was younger
I did everything you said
Now I remember my big sister
I was five and she was ten

Dearly beloved
We're all here tonight
For a similar reason
We're fighting the good fight
But the weather does keep us inside
We haven't known him
For terribly long
But his wall is filled with ghosts
Who are never going to hear
And they're singing
And keeping me sane
And I look out the window
And it's started to rain
So many friends
So many friends
So many friends
And all of you people
Are part of my soul
Cause we are connected
And part of the whole
And I don't have to see you
To know where you are
'Cause we just need some whiskey
And an out-of-tune guitar
So many friends
So many friends
So many friends
Dearly beloved
We're all here tonight
For a similar reason

Why do I see stars at night?
Everyone else sees the light
And how did I come this far?
I'm sure that I can't fly
Why did you say that to me?
Eighty miles out on the sea
And I am built with parts of you
And you are built with parts of me
I think it's strange that the weather doesn't change
When you are beside me
When you are beside me
I make my plans but they don't stay the same
When you are beside me
When you are beside me
Oh Sailor, oh sailor
Take the wheel
Oh sailor, don't measure how I feel
Dance around the fire
Dance around the flame
We settle on the wire
You settle on my name
Take me with you when you go
Now that I know what I know
Cross the waves
Blow the windy tides
