They're hoarding gas in the coffee cans,
They're pairing off and joining hands.
They're gonna try and make a stand without your love.
The lava flow and tidal waves,
There's nothing here we couldn't brave.
There's nothing you could throw away,
We couldn't love.
So you take the sun and I'll take mars,
I'll take this gun and shoot out all the stars.
You drain the seas and I'll smash the sky,
We'll leave them nothing but the bones behind.
But now my skies have opened up,
When I can't believe my luck.
Sure enough our time is up and out of love.
I never want to hurt you girl.
I'll be the sand, you be the pearl.
And I could live without this world, but not your love.
This Glacier is sliding, 2 mantels colliding.
A new world undiscovered, the lost iceman uncovered.
Two hearts dividing, 4 eyes stop crying.
This iceman dissolving, moi mojo evolving.
So you take the sun and I'll take mars,
I'll take this gun and shoot out all the stars.
So you clear the trees and I'll mount their heads,
Golden locks on suffragettes,
The pretty girls smoke cigarettes.
Cutting class and sneaking out at night.
And the macho boys break billiard balls,
But they never catch you when you fall.
But I will be there and I will do you right.
'Cause I'm alright, wrapped up in your arms.
I'm quite the sight, wrapped up in your arms.
Your brother stole an old Corvette,
We ditched it down on Lafayette.
And watched the cops towing it away.
And the summer up and came and went,
And all my summer savings spent,
I wish that I could pitch a tent and stay.
'Cause I'm alright, wrapped up in your arms.
I'm quite the sight, wrapped up in your arms.
So squeeze me tight,
And wrap me in your arms.
'Cause I'm alright wrapped up in your arms.
...and legs and golden sun rays,
Night swims on lazy Sundays.
I'm gonna wear your ring,
Till I return next Spring.
So come on baby what you say,
You put all those big tears away.
I'll be back when everything turns green.
I'm gonna call you every second day,
Time will fly, I'll never stray.
And every night,
I'll dream the same old dream.
That I'm alright, wrapped up in your arms.
I'm quite the sight, wrapped up in your arms.
So squeeze me tight,
And wrap me in your arms.
I built for you a satellite.
Strung with the finest thread,
a crown for your pretty head.
2 tons of string run out mid flight.
Rope burn all blister blue,
I lost my grip and I lost you.
Chorus:
In the belly of a whale,
my broken hull and tattered sail.
The salt and coral baby blue,
it took the place of me and you.
But now I'm married to the sea,
there's nowhere else I'd rather be.
I don't think abou the coast,
I don't think about my home.
While all the world selpt through the night,
I crept down to the shores.
Untied, awoke the oars.
I'll drift away into the night.
Some say you'll see my ghost,
down in the waves along the coast.
Chorus:
Oh molars crush me gently,
sweep me off your falls.
What a sorrow feeling,
what a perfect sound.
Chorus:
I don't think about the filth,
I don't think about the war.
I don't think about the greed,
and I don't care about the score.
Well I hope they never ever come,
I hope we're never ever found.
Alone in the dark,
we'll never make a sound.
'Cause I'll be sitting on your teeth,
and I'll be drinking from your tongue.
I fell asleep in your ribs,
You can pull over now, anywhere here's fine.
I don't want to jinx or waste me no more time.
I'm just gonna go... I don't want no more,
There's no more you +1 at the door.
I had to get out get me out' a me that town.
'Cause nothing ever adds up.
Everybody just stands round.
Soo I set out in the night for Saratoga Springs,
I flopped around until I learnt to work these wings.
'Cause I've been gone too long,
What's your name again?
Who's the president?
'Cause I've been gone so long,
Everybody hit the deck.
'Cause I'm back in full effect.
They sat me down to check if me OK,
I told them I'm fine it's just the digital display.
But I rode it out, I killed Mr. Blue.
Now I'm at the wheel of this pleasure cruise.
'Cause I've been gone too long,
What's your name again?
Who's the president?
'Cause I've been gone so long,
Everybody hit the deck.
I don't wanna hear it anymore.
I don't wanna hear it anymore.
I don't wanna think about it.
I don't wanna talk about it.
I don't wanna hear it anymore.
The TV kids are gaming,
The mom and dads complaining.
All the pointing fingers blaming,
Have got me down.
Down at the implantation,
The small breasted renovations.
All the calender girls line up and cry.
I don't wanna hear it anymore.
I don't wanna hear it anymore.
I don't wanna think about it.
I don't wanna talk about it.
I don't wanna hear it anymore.
I left for the station morning
At 16-07:20.
Through a crowd of pushy people,
And all the horrible sounds.
I left for the land of Mayan,
To rest my head from crying.
Where the colors pour right out of the sky.
With a smart-ass glare, you sink in your chair,
And announce you've decided to cut off your hair.
The casting director shuts down the projector,
And throws up his arms in the air.
Now you watch for your cue that you've once again missed,
And deliver the most unconvincable kiss.
The leading role curses, fumbles his verses and says,
"I can't work like this."
There's no way out
I just can't win
I feel like Wallace Hartley
When the water came rushing in
So you step to the mic and swallow your cool,
And spit out your words like a gun-wielding fool.
Drunk with the power, the flourescent shower,
Of yellow and green and blue.
You sharpen your teeth and stick where you stand,
And you bite off the fingers of my helping hand.
I know you're lying, so don't bother trying
To bury your head in the sand.
There's no way out
I just can't win
I feel like Wallace Hartley
When the water came rushing in
All the king's horses, and all the king's men,
Couldn't put you back together again.
Did the ink stain your skin, the papers don't like.
You crawl in a corner to curl up and die.
There's no way out
I just can't win
I feel like Wallace Hartley
When the water came rushing in
Note: History buffs and Danny fans will note that Wallace Hartley
Was the leader of the band that went down playing while the
Not a danny original, but still a fantastic track on the album Clear.
Sunday is gloomy my hours are slumberless,
Dearest the shadows I live with are numberless.
Little white flowers will never awaken you,
Now that the black coach of sorrow has taken you.
Angels have no thought of ever returning you.
Would they be angry if I thought of joining you?
Gloomy is Sunday, with shadows I've spent it all,
My heart and I have decided to end it all.
Soon there'll be flowers and prayers that are sad, I know.
Let them not weep, let them know I was glad to go.
Death is no dream, for in death I'm caressing you,
With the last breath of my heart, I'll be blessing you.
Dreaming, I was only dreaming...
I awake and I find you asleep in the deep of my heartbeat.
Darling I hope, that my dream never haunted you
From the album Clear
Long before the world was round, before the sky was blue.
Long before the dinosaurs, and me and you.
When ships got lost at sea, washed out of the sky,
And the wind itself was butter breeze,
From which god himself would hide.
I wanna stick with you, to keep the oceans blue.
I wanna spend my life, chasing after you.
Cause if there's one thing I know, it's the world sure can be cruel.
So let me be true to you.
Long before the tidal waves, disease and lemonade.
Long before the catapults, where the pistols met the blade.
We lived under a rock and we fed on zinc and chalk
(killer horn interlude here)
Before the world was round, before there was a sound.
I wanna stick with you, to keep the oceans blue.
I wanna spend my life, chasing after you.
Cause if there's one thing I know, it's the world sure can be cruel.
I'm sitting in a lawn chair by the dirty hotel pool,
with a suitcase full of fireworks sparkling like jewels.
And there's a girl around my neck who won't leave me alone.
Won't someone get me out of here,
or won't someone take her home.
The lobby's full of shipwrecks, drunk conventioneers.
And the mermaid in the lobby tank is swimming in her tears.
And the possum in the swimming pool is looking slighty sick,
and the pellet gunned greasy kid pokes it with a stick.
Well she tied the wicks together,
and she lit them with no shame.
Her face lit up an evil glow,
from the burning school house of flames.
She's the bottle rocket princess, QUeen of La Motor Inn,
with a sparkler in her teeth and a flashlight to her chin.
With a lady finger cap gun and she put on quite a show,
she took off with my room key and came back in my clothes.
But there's sugar in my gas tank and the battery is gone,
and all the stars in the sky are lying on my lawn.
So if anyone can hear me, if anybody cares,
if there's anybody up there who can answer my prayers.
I'll be in the parking lot with the losers and the jerks,
I'll be in the parking lot selling fireworks.
In a Jimmy Carter rubber mask she hollars out 'Hit the dirt,
no one moves a muscle here and nobdoy gets hurt."
Oh say this isn't happening, please tell me I'm not here.
'Cause the President just pinches my ass,
and she whispered in my ear.
All the love up in the heaven won't save me here in hell,
'cause they tied me to the crime scene, from a hair on my lapel.
I look around to try to find someone in here to blame,
while the hangman makes collect calls,
and he's spelling out my name.
Well I'll be down at the fairground with a shovel and a broom,
where the candy floss meets the air
with a cheap teenage perfume.
Where the cheerleaders gather 'round a suspicious silhouette,
where the devils trading souls for duty free cigarettes.
Meanwhile back at the hotel, the band is tearing down.
They're hitching up the horses, and they're sneaking out of town.
And the mini bar is empty, you're covered in tatoos.
Well the rain came down on Elgin Ave.
And the faces on the bus look sad,
As the man with the umbrella hails a cab.
And the sky is looking mean and grey,
And tomato is the soup today.
As the homeless lay out plastic on the ground.
She takes this chance to start anew,
With a hotel sample free shampoo.
And her hair is hold and baby blue.
Rain, rain, don't go away.
I'm glad you came I hope you stay,
And you couldn't have come on a better day.
Now the rain floods my flowerbed,
And the garbage can with the missing lid.
They blame it on those no-good meddling kids.
She can't be more than seventeen,
And sleeping in a bank machine.
And beating up an old tambourine.
While the old man strums an old guitar,
A silvertone with a whammy bar.
As someone shouts insults from their car.
Rain, rain, don't go away.
I'm glad you came and I hope you stay,
And you couldn't of come on a better day.
My kitchen window leads to the roof,
Where nothing's safe or waterproof.
And it feels like a giant pirate ship.
And the barber sweeps up all the hair,
And he falls asleep in his barber's chair.
And the smell of disinfectant fills the air.
The old man finds a cigarette,
By the pharmacy at Somerset.
And he's standing there all soaking wet.
Rain, rain, don't go away,
Im glad you came and I hope you stay.
And you couldn' have come on a better day,
I couldn't be any wetter.
Farewell to gloomy Sunday,
So long to slip n' slide.
Say "night" to Mr. Good bar,
No more Mr. Shine.
Shipwreckd on fuzzy Monday,
Sunburnt on vodka lime.
Hey Mr. Salmonella,
Hung over one more time.
I'mm gonna show,
You'll be so surprised.
I'm gonna fix it so we never leave alive,
I'm going down with the ship this time.
You set sail for Sunny Monday,
I punched holes in your hull.
No more Mr. Nice Guy,
No more Mr. Gull.
You're too old to know the lingo,
You're too young to cause it harm.
Hey ho Mr. Goodbar,
Make way for Mr. Charm.
I got something for you,
So just close your eyes.
I'm gonna full it fill,
With your bitter blue good-byes.
I'm going down with the ship this time.
Well I'm up to my neck and the tide's come in,
And the sun has set to sailor's hymn.
And the nautical bones of 1000 souls,
In the centrefold
From the Superteen
And the sparkle paint
And the pretty dreams
And the candycoat
On your candy heart
Well it chipped and broke
And fell apart.
Well all the stars in Hollywood
Shine shine shine
All your love came crashing down
Like an old coalmine
So you're camping out
Under a pretty sky
And you seranade
And you justify
And you climb the gate
And rehearse your lines
And you set the plate
And you pour some wine
Well all the stars in Hollywood
Shine shine shine
All your love came crashing down
Like an old coalmine
With a picketfence
Upon the hill
With a couple kids
And a Coupe de Ville
And a cup of tea
And a pretty pill
Cause if i can't have
You no one will
And the sirens wail
On the TV set
You love me you
Just don't know it yet
Well all the stars in Hollywood
Shine shine shine
All your love came crashing down
Beautiful nothing is all I want to hear,
Beautiful nothing music to my ears.
So stop all your bang clanging,
Shouting and stomping around.
Beautiful nothing, it's the sweetest of sounds.
Beautiful nothing, well it just never wins.
There's no room for nothing, it never fits in.
And the world keeps on smash crashing,
And souts at the top of it's lungs.
Beautiful nothing, rolls off my tongue.
Up in outer space I hear there's no sound,
I'd be floating slowly around.
And all I can hear are my beins as they start,
To pump blood to my heart.
To flood my whole heart.
Beautiful nothing is all I want to hear.
The sweet sound of nothing, but the sound of our tears.
So lay down here and hold me,
And don't even think a sound.
Beautiful nothing, it won't let us down.
Sitting in a rainy tent in an 'I love NY' hat.
She said I was beautiful and I'd never heard that.
From someone like you.
C'mon, this can't be true.
You make me feel all new and...
Beautiful.
She held me on the telephone,
But it's just not the same.
So we go double-dutch,
And she climbed in a plane.
Now I'm sleeping in till noon,
And the little things don't hurt.
Now I'm wearing out her name,
And she's wearing my shirts.
I wanna shoot the moon,
Spend all my cash on you.
Do everything to you...
'Cause you're...
Beautiful.
You'll be #1 and I'll be #2,
You're a modern girl and I'm an old fashioned fool.
She sparkles in the pouring rain,
And keeps me water tight.
I don't know what all this means,
But man it sure feels right.
I haven't felt this good,
I didn't know you could.
If I say that I love you, will you just leave me alone?
I don't know what more I can do,
To keep you happy, to call my own.
If I said that I hate you, would you just sink like a stone?
Would you break out the champagne,
To celebrate the breaking of another backbone?
If I said that I need you, would you remind me I don't?
Would you climb down inside me?
Help bail water from this leaking boat.
If I say that I'm leavin, all my courage in a gutless note,
Oh man that way would be easy,
With all those big words stuck in my throat.
So unmask sign and spic and span, sing a song I'll understand.
Give me something to believe,
Another love song is the last thing we need.
We all need.
Here she comes my big reward,
Hear her strum the biggest chord in my chest.
See her tame the mighty shores with one caress.
What if I write your name on the club marquee,
Would you buy a frame and fill it with me?
She rifles through the lost and found,
She lays on my chest in the rain when I'm down.
She makes the best soup in town,
And the sweetest little sounds.
What if I carve your name in the chestnut tree?
Would you buy a frame and fill it with me?
She told me she had no sisters or brothers,
And no recollection of dads and mothers.
Just and empty hole where no-good lovers once lived,
You-will-love-again.
Here she comes my big reward,
Hear her strum the biggest chord in my chest,
When I get out I'm running straight to you,
And taking you out like I used to do.
I've been counting the days, I've been stitching up plans,
And apparently now I'm a better man.
So let's ride till the sky turns blue,
There's just 13 days to you.
Well they taught me a trade and the ways of the Lord,
So I built a guitar and I learnt 4 chords.
'Cause that's all I need to sing to you.
When I get out I'm heading straight for you,
I've got some things I've been dying to do.
Show me the house where you were born,
And I'll kiss your face until my lips are worn.
And we'll sleep until the sun turns blue,
There's just 13 days to you.
I'm gonna grow my hair, I'm gonna run a bath.
I wanna just sit here and watch you laugh.
I'm gonna wash the car, I'm gonna cut the grass.
When I get out I'm gonna drop some bucks,
Gas up the caddie come and pick me up.
I feel the blood flowing through my luck,
We're gonna drop the needle, gonna raise a cup.
We're going wild till the sky turns blue,
There's just 13 days to you.
There's a few more lines on your pretty face,
And there's a few more pounds 'round this old waist,
But that don't change you and me a bit.
But when I got out there was no one there,
No red caddie and no golden hair.
I got no cigarettes and no taxi fare,
Just a slaughterhouse stench filling up the air.
I just cried... say it ain't true.
Now there's 100 days of blue,
I was born on the wrong day,
But I was born in the right year.
You were born in the wrong town,
And we were born to tears.
Was I supposed to happen?
Were you supposed to be here?
Were the stars aligned?
Was it all so clear?
So here's to you and your heart's golden gleam,
Here's to me and my heart's foolish dreams.
You're wonderful, you'll get no regrets from me.
You're gonna be alright, I'm gonna be alright.
We're gonna be alright.
I was born on the wrong day,
When the river was knee deep.
When the moon and the stars,
Were still half asleep.
But now the river is 10 ft,
And it's flooding our whole hearts.
Karma came as my date,
But left with some drunken cart.
So here's to you and your heart's golden gleam,
Here's to me and my heart's fading dream.
You're wonderful, you'll get no regrets from me.
You're gonna be alright, I'm gonna be alright.
We're gonna be alright.
So here's to you and your heart's golden gleam,
Here's to me and my heart's fraying seam.
I'm hanging out the side of Alejandro's ride,
I'm trying not to bleed on the car seat.
Colours fill the streets,
They're running down your cheeks.
Cop cars lay white sheets over teenagers.
But they'll never stop us now.
They'll never stop us now.
Hush, hush, hush, we all fall down.
Sing that little song, that mama used to sing.
I'm trying to hang on, but I feel me slipping.
You wrap it in a towel, and prayer a secret prayer.
While Jesus combs his hair in the rear view.
Spotlights on car alarms,
Bullets lodged in frightened arms.
That fight that tears and grind the gears...
And circle round.
Where the helicopters hover low,
On teenage boys bound for death row.
Where mother's tears run down the road,
I grew up on the 8-track,
And any day now the comeback.
I'm tangled up on the floor in the headphones cord.
Way back when DJ means DJ,
And roller disco on Sundays.
The hiss and crackle n' skip,
The woofers flutter and clip.
Let's go back.
When 2 hearts, they never hurt no one.
When 2 hearts, they added up to one.
That heart could never come undone, it never weighed a ton.
Hey DJ play that track, somebody take me back.
I got no beepers, no pagers.
Just Farrah Fawcett-Lee-Majors.
The sunset drive-in at dark,
We cruise in gently and park.
I'm making out on the shag rug,
With Mary Anne and some soft drugs.
Places I'd never seen except in magazines.
45's and skirts, Bowie on my shirt.
Set your phasers on stun, leave all the kids out in the sun,
Atari& Pong, they never did us wrong.
Well I don't know what day it is,
And I'm afraid to say I'm not sure where I am.
And these hotel rooms and greasy spoons
Have over stayed their welcome once again.
And the folks down in the hotel lounge,
Sit far apart and order rounds all night.
And I'd rather be upon the moon,
'cause atleast from there I'd have you in my sight.
I'm sure it's indisputable, I hear Toledo's beautiful.
But not here from this hotel lobby phone.
So no offense Toledo, but I'm going home.
And if I was there I'd pick you up,
And take you out and head down to the crown.
We'd trip the light fandango,
Tie a yellow ribbon around this town.
And I'd sing for you karaoke,
So go on girl and pick your favourite song.
And the Japanese- Jimmy-Deans-Rock-a-Billy boyfriends sing along.
I'm sure it's indisputatble, I hear Toledo's beautiful.
But not here from this hotel lobby phone.
So no offense Toledo, but I'm going home.
And your voice is in my heart, and it's pounding like the sea.
It sings at night alone, in perfect melody.
But the voices in my head are still fighting off at sea,
So come down from that widow's walk
And lay your heavy heart on me.
I'm sure it's indisputable, they say Toledo's beautiful.
And I'm here at the perfect time of year.
I don't wanna be your fool.
Treat me like a clown,
Kick me when I'm down.
How could you be so cruel?
All those words you said,
Are gonna never leave my head.
And you know just what to say,
To take my wind away.
And you know just what to do,
To break my heart in two.
I might as well be see-through.
Cause I'm standing here in flames,
As good as old Claude Raines.
I feel like an old tattoo,
Of something you once believed,
Now you hide under your sleeve.
And you know just what to say,
To take my wind away.
And you know just what to do,
To break my heart in two.
We've seen better days, the skies ahead look gray.
Maybe it's ok, if only we could say:
Goodbye to sorrow, look to tomorrow.
And you know just what to say,
To take my wind away.
And you know just what to do,
I was ninety-five feet under and twenty years of age.
Working in the copper mines for less than living rage.
With my uncle, father, brother, and our grandfather too,
Everybody pulled their weight 'cause that's the right thing to do.
But oh my legs are tired and my face is filthy black,
Won't someone bring me water and pour it down my back.
It was early in the morning and I just got off the line,
My father and brothers were punching in at nine.
"Go home and sleep my son," my daddy said to me.
Tell your sister that you love her, kiss your mama on the cheek.
Oh my legs are tired someone take me to my bed,
Mama bring me water and pour it on my head.
Mama dropped the gravy, I never seen her look so scared.
The telephone was dangling as she reached out to the air.
She didn't have to say a thing, I knew what was said.
There was thunder in the mountain and there's nintey men dead.
Oh my mama's shaking, she's gonna fall apart...
Someone bring her whiskey and pour it on her heart.
But oh my legs are tired and my face is filthy black.
I love the smell of gasoline,
And I love an older car.
I never drove it fast, and I never drove it far.
I just sit here in the front seat,
And stare at the stars.
I got it from this biker,
He said "you're gonna like her"
It'll stop on a dime, and got more chrome than a silvermine.
It never won't turn over, you can sleep in it till you're sober,
And folks are always giving you the right of way.
But the wheelskirts were missing,
The gas gauge wouldn't budge.
The wipers just made it worse, am I cursed from above?
The radio caught on fire, and fried the power seats,
And there's this overwhelming smell of roses and bleach.
Now there's nothing I love more,
Than a slow and peaceful ride.
I thought of all the people who came to lay down here inside.
From the Mississippi Chapel to the Meaford Tabernacle.
I wondered how they lived and wondered how they died.
Now the lady said I was crazy,
The clerk said I was sick.
The cop said it was just creepy, and that I had no respect.
So maybe we best retire, like all your sudden guests.
It's time I put you out to pasture, and lay you to rest.
So I took his fifty dollars,
And I handed him the keys.
My stomach tied a knot, as it squealed up the street.
Cause he drove it like a jackass, I shouted "hey not so fast!"
All the way across a crowded room,
Can you feel it? I know you do.
You arrive like a mortorcade,
And your better half rolls in like a hand granade.
When our eyes collide, I'm lost in the tide.
And the worst part is he don't even know,
He's the luckiest man in the world.
You hold me close, and the music plays.
The disco ball, spins in the milky way.
And I'm watching all, the words you say.
Go supernova, right in front of me.
If I could stop time, and make you all mine.
And the worst part is he don't even know,
He's the luckiest man in the world.
He stumbles off, to find his keys.
If I stopped combing my hair,
If I stopped shaving my face.
Would you notice or care, or would it just be a waste.
If I stop changing my clothes,
If I stop watching my weight.
How far do I have to go, just what do I gotta say?
I'm the invisible man,
Everybody shakes my hand but you.
I'm the invisible man,
And the only body I want is you.
I walk in slowly with grace,
I hit a couple home runs.
I stand right up in your face,
Still I don't block out the sun.
So I go out on a limb,
I get true blue and sincere.
But I don't show up on film,
And I can't be seen in a mirror.
Some would sneak in ladies' locker rooms,
Or armoured trucks chock-full of jewels.
But I keep my hands where you can see them,
Any fool can see them.
Why can't you see them?
I know when I'm beat, and I know when to stay down.
With floppy shoes on my feet, and a big happy frown.
And I'm the invisible man.
Try and catch me if you can.
I'm the invisible man.
I'm right behind you (here I am) my friend.
I'm the invisible man.
Everybody shakes my hand but you,
I follow footprints through the snow,
Right down the middle of the road.
The xmas lights across the lake,
The xmas cheer, the angel cake.
The mistletoe, the candy cane,
I ride your bumper down the lame,
The panning steady cam slow-mo.
Zooms with hypnotizing flow.
Here in this perfect snow globe night,
You keep shaking my life.
The smell of fire wood and rum,
Carolers sing par um puma pum.
I heard that one and one make 3,
Does that mean you and us make me?
Here on this cold December night,
Here on this coal black ice.
Here at the bottom of this hill,
The camera jams and tears the film.
With my knees up on the dashboard,
I watch the stars like grains of sand.
And underneath my sleeping bag,
The nightclub stamp still glows on my hand.
Through the rearview mirror, things become much clearer
Than they've ever been.
And if this is a mistake, remind me to make
More of them.
Somedays my bad days, gang up on good days.
Somedays the world weighs too much for me to want to stay.
And I feel like a satellite
I feel like a satellite
I feel like a satellite
I feel like a satellite
And just when things were looking right and feeling good,
It all came crashing down.
Educated guess was my uneducated best
I confound. (that's not right)
Problems after problems piled high on problems
Probably tried to touch the sun.
You're anything I can imagine,
Right beneath my notice life had just begun.
Now my bad days end up on good days.
Now the grade's made in my own little ways.
And I feel like a satellite
I feel like a satellite
I feel like a satellite
I got halfway to the canyon,
And all the stars were shining bright.
Your polaroid on the dashboard,
It kept me going through the night.
So don't wait up, just rest your eyes.
'Cause I can't rush this beautiful ride.
Nobody move, this is perfect.
It's just like you.
I saw the sun c-c-crash in the ocean.
And all the vampires on their way.
All the pretty girls spill tanning lotion,
And they scatter in the rain.
And my walkman sang my favorite song.
In this perfect light I can't go wrong.
Nobody move, this is perfect.
It's just like you.
I'm counting the drop that ran down the window.
I'm counting the girls on the transport flap.
I saw the curve of the earth devour,
There's something about you, the look in your eye.
The wind in your sails, the clouds in your sky.
The trail of bread crumbs, that end at your door.
I'll be there waiting- waiting for more.
Alone in the sunrise, I'll swallow the moon.
Oh Francisco baby, I will love you until I die.
Oh Francisco maybe, maybe I can stay tonight.
Up over the rooftops, we're drunk on red wine.
El Camino feathers, oh how they fly.
I can't wait to see you and hold you again.
To sleep in your harbour, to bathe in your sin.
I need some romancing; I'm fresh out of jail.
Oh Francisco baby, I will you until I die.
Oh Francisco maybe, maybe I can stay tonight.
Convertible lovers cruising the heights,
Los Embarcadero; all the pretty lights.
This ride is held together by one little pin,
But I still wanna go faster.
I hope this never ends.
Oh Francisco baby, I will love you until I die.
I'll carve initials in it,
I'll play until I win.
I'm going to love you till I break.
I'm going to fan your sweet flame,
I'm going to sing your sweet name.
And I'm going to love you till you shake.
'Cause I'm on the road to happiness
And the cool, cool streams of love.
I'm gonna get myself so dirty/filthy
Rolling in the mud.
I've got my eye on bigger things
And the blue-er skies above.
So I'll shoot Newton's apple,
And I'll climb up on high.
I love you god as witness,
So I can't bear to watch this.
Your little heart left in the sun.
3 cheers for Hollywood.
'Cause there's gold in them thar hills,
There's nothing to fear, I'm right here.
So don't worry your pretty head.
So count me some sheep and go back to sleep,
And forget all those things that I said.
Don't she'd a tear or get swallowed by fear,
But those words are so easy to say.
'Cause if I can't control it, then how would I know it.
If I suddenly fall and slip away.
When things fall out of a place I go quiet like space.
And I'm tired of me myself & I.
Don't look so sad, 'cause things aren't that bad.
Your ups and your downs have come up.
You might be surprised if you'd open your eyes,
To that they work better shut.
But you'll never see that side of me,
You're too busy running around.
It's the gold and the copper that the real me could offer,
That's the treasure that neve gets found.
When things fall out of place I go quiet likespace,
And I'm tired of me myself & I.
But i'm tied to me myself & I.
I'm tied to me myself & I.
This is one of my favourite tracks.
From his debut CD Before the World Was Round.
Lying on my back,
Staring at the ceiling, wishing i had one more.
I imagine it's the surface,
I'm the sunken treasure on the ocean floor.
Up and out of nowhere,
You came along, combing the entire sea.
Lying on your belly, in your glass-bottomed boat,
You're lookin for me.
And all I wanna do is melt away with you.
I'm sitting on a couch,
Sharing secrets I never let go before.
Unravelled on the floor, you say,
"there's so much more I still need to explore"
While you make cigarettes, and high-school mixed casettes,
For riding in your car.
Looking so dumbfound you ask,
"How'd you get that sound, to come out of your guitar?"
The sun goes up, and the sun goes down,
You're a different colour every night.
And you put yourself, into it.
You put all your weight on it,
In hopes that you might get a chance, to be heard.
Someone's listening, while you keep screaming,
And the sun goes up, and the sun goes down.
No one's listening, no one's listening, to you.
This is your last straw,
This is your last swing and
This is your last straw,
This ain't worth anything.
The moon goes up, and the moon goes down,
You're a different colour every night.
But it's too much, it's too much for you.
So you say "Well fuck you,
I'm going back to S-S-Sault Ste Marie,
With or without, you and your big big mouth
And all it's big big words, again.
Never again, will I listen, will I listen to you."
This is your last straw,
This is your last swing and
This is your last straw,

Tyou're building beautiful speed.
Ya, there's gotta be more,
There's gotta be more.
For suchabeautiful world,
There's gotta be more.
But don't let it break your heart,
'cause I'm coming for you.
Sit tight and don't lose heart,
I am coming for you.
And we'll never be apart,
When I'm arriving for you.
And I say, oh my, and how,
Wings don't fail me now.

Baby, that's just what you told me
(Thats what you said)
But you're nowhere to be found
Something just ain't right

Even when you're around
Baby you promised me
That you'd always be there for me
(Tell me) Tell me what's on your mind
(Tell me what's on your mind)

Just like candy
Now you're breaking my heart
With all your broken promises
Open your eyes

But you never come through
(But you never come through)
And it's so different lately
'Cause you don't call me baby
I just don't know what to do
(I just don't know what to do)
What happened to the "I Love You"s
The hugs and kisses and the rendezvous'
What happened to me and you
You said you'd never change
What happened
Baby, talk to me
You used to be sugar sweet
Just like candy
Now you're breaking my heart
With all your broken promises
You say you're gonna do this

With all your broken promises

I Don't Wanna Fall In Love
Who needs to feel that way
who needs those words to say
who wants to give their heart to watch love fade away
cuz I've made up my mind
I didn't want to know
why should I find the love that isn't here to stay
I wasn't waiting until you came along
and now I need you to tell me where my heart belongs
But I don't wanna fall in love
till I fall in love with you
and you showed me what my heart already knew
I don't wanna fall in love
till I know the love is true
cuz I need you to feel the way I do
when I give my heart to you
I've seen the tears they cried
when its time for good bye
I didn't want to be the one who's asking why
I didn't think that I would ever feel so strong
but now I know that I was wrong
But I don't wanna fall in love
till I fall in love with you
and you showed me what my heart already knew
I don't wanna fall in love
till I know the love is true
cuz I need you to feell the way I do
when I give my heart to you.. you..
Now I believe it's worth the chance
to find a love that lasts
for all my life
give me a sign so I will always know this love is right.. this love is right...
But I don't wanna fall in love (don't wanna fall in love)
till I fall in love with you

I don't wanna hear your stories
I don't wanna hear your lies
Don't wanna hear those made up alibis
You told me that you lived for me
You sounded so sincere
But now the pictures suddenly so clear
After all that's been said and done
I should have been the only one
But every word from you is nothing more
Than wasted breath
Why did you tell me I could put my trust in you
Then turn around and tell me things you know ain't true
Why you trying to play me boy like I'm some fool
That's hard to just forget
You're too busy trying to run a game on me
But now you can't remember what you said last week
Don't say another word cause baby now I see
It's only wasted breath
I'm looking for some good reasons
I'm looking for the truth
But baby that's something I won't get from you
Cause now I see right through you
Your game is oh so weak
And you were better off when you didn't speak
After all that's been said and done
I should have been the only one
How could every word be nothing more
Than wasted breath
Why did you tell me I could put my trust in you
Then turn around and tell me things you know ain't true
Why you trying to play me boy like I'm some fool
That's hard to just forget
You're too busy trying to run a game on me
But now you can't remember what you said last week
Don't say another word cause baby now I see
It's only wasted breath
I'm looking for some good reasons
I'm looking for the truth
But baby the only thing I get from you
Is wasted breath
Wasted time
Wasted tears on my pillow when I cried
Wasted days
Wasted nights
Wasted dream that will never come to life
Why did you tell me I could put my trust in you
Then turn around and tell me things you know ain't true
Why you trying to play me boy like I'm some fool
That's hard to just forget
You're too busy trying to run a game on me
But now you can't remember what you said last week
Don't say another word cause baby now I see
It's only wasted breath
Why did you tell me I could put my trust in you

Why you trying to play me boy like I'm some fool
That's hard to just forget
You're too busy trying to run a game on me
But now you can't remember what you said last week
Don't say another word cause baby now I see
What am I supposed to do
I can't believe it's really you
Cause it's been so long
Ever since you went away
I thought that all my feeling's changed
But I guess that I was wrong
And all the memories
That I left behind
In a moment they're all back in my mind
So turn around
Don't wanna let you see me cry
Don't know how
We ever could have said goodbye
Never thought I'd feel this way
Wish I knew the words to say
So turn around
I didn't know you're still inside
Now I found
All the reasons why
Never should have let you go
Wish I didn't have to know
Is it just the way you're looking at me
That's making me think I need
You to still be in my heart
Cause I remember that it had to end
But now I forget why we said
That we have to be apart
But we can't go back to what we had
But how can I go on
When this hurts so bad
So turn around
Don't wanna let you see me cry
Don't know how
We ever could have said goodbye
Never thought I'd feel this way
Wish I knew the words to say
So turn around
I didn't know you're still inside
Now I found
All the reasons why
Never should have let you go
Wish I didn't have to know
Cause looking into your eyes
I find to my surprise
The feelings always been there inside
So how did we let it end
And how can I just pretend
That I don't know you
Could have been there all along
So turn around
Don't wanna let you see me cry
Don't know how
We ever could have said goodbye
Never thought I'd feel this way
Wish I knew the words to say
So turn around
I didn't know you're still inside
Now I found
All the reasons why
Never should have let you go
Wish I didn't have to know
So turn around
Don't wanna let you see me cry
Don't know how

Never thought I'd feel this way
Wish I knew the words to say
So turn around

Now I found
All the reasons why
Never should have let you go
Wish I didn't have to know
So turn around
Don't wanna let you see me cry
Don't know how
We ever could have said goodbye
Never thought I'd feel this way
Wish I knew the words to say
So turn around
I didn't know you're still inside
Now I found
All the reasons why
Never should have let you go
Wish I didn't have to know
So turn around
I've must have been blind
Not to see you look away from me
Whenever you say "You love me still"
I must have been crazy
Not to see you slip away from me
Day after day there's a space to fill
and I can't find the words,to make you fall in love with me agian
and I can't find the strength to let you go oh oh
And when it's all said and done,you'll be the only one
Even if there's nothing left for us to say
as sure as the sun will rise I can never say goodbye
Even if we go are separate ways
In my heart you'll always stay
ooh ooh
Been spending my time
to try to remind you of our love
But you're pulling away with every touch
With all we've been though
I'd never thought i'd be losing you
and i would give everything to keep you here
But I can't (but I can't) find the words to make you fall in love with me again
and I can't find the strength to let you go oh oh
And when it's all said and done,you'll be the only one
Even if there's nothing left for us to say (nothing left to say)
as sure as the sun will rise I can never say goodbye
Even if we go are separate ways (ooh)
In my heart you'll always stay
I,I,I still believe our love meant to be oh
And it will be here forever come one day (come,one,day) ooh ohoh
can you see? I love you faithfully oh yeh
And one day im telling you I find a way to get back to me ooh
And when it's all said and done,you'll be the only one (said and done)
Oooh,nothing left to say
as sure as the sun will rise I can never say goodbye
Even if we go separate ways
In my heart you'll always stay
Oohh umm
You ought to be ashamed of yourself,
The way you talk down to me
Oh, baby
And didn't anybody ever teach you
To act more respectfully
I'm telling you that I'm only human, too
Don't you realize
Look at my face
What do you see in my eyes
When a part of me just dies
I cry real tears
I have real fears
I've got a heart that's beating inside
Sometimes it breaks, and when it aches
My eyes cry real tears
You treat me like you think I'm made of stone
Like when I'm cut I don't bleed
Oh baby
Don't you know that I'm flesh and bone
So what do you want from me
I'm telling you that I'm only human, too
Don't you realize
Look at my face
What do you see in my eyes
When a part of me just dies
I cry real tears
I have real fears
I've got a heart that's beating inside
Sometimes it breaks, and when it aches
My eyes cry real tears
There's something called the golden rule
Some day you'll wish you'dve followed it more
You've been a fool
My love is truer than any love you'll find
But I'm worth so much more, and so is my time
(I cry)
I cry real tears
I have real fears
I've got a heart that's beating inside
Sometimes it breaks, and when it aches
My eyes cry real tears
(Oo yeah)
My eyes cry real tears
(I've got a heart that's beating inside for you, babe)
My eyes cry real tears
(And every little teardrop, they fall from my eyes, they fall for you)
My eyes cry real tears
(My eyes, they cry real tears)
