i know your whereabouts, unhappily
you know my weakness is my sympathy
the crust in your temperament
don't wash with me
i scrub at the base of it with vaseline
what's come over me
what's come over me
what's come over me
what's come over me
coming down on myself too easily
packing those stairs away could visibly
be the most hurtful thing you did to me
how can you sleep with me so silently
what's come over me?
what's come over me
what's come over me
what's come over me
licking up like a cat on your filthy mat
i like to live with my head in your lap
i don't like to need that i don't like to need that i don't like to need that i don't like to need that
walking your muddy feet on my carpet
what's come over me?
there's no charge, hurry up and find out who you are

i'm the destroyer
i'm the destroyer
i live in your fingers
i'm not from your heaven
look into the eyes of a child
and a million men have fought to keep the light that will go
out into the future
in the dirt and water
a fly into a guy into the one
a world becomes a girl becomes the sun
stranger in the corner of your mind
you walk around and you count your time
but it's not your life, it's mine
into a guy into the one
a world becomes a girl becomes the sun
angel on the head of a pin
from the air to the body again
animals know how to begin
a world that ends
drop out of the belly and cry
alive again you waste your time
believing you should be in the ground
into a guy into the one
a world becomes a girl becomes the sun
fly into a guy into the one
world becomes a girl becomes the sun
i'm the destroyer
i live in your fingers
i'm not from your heaven
i'm the destroyer
why are we so happy to be born
just to sign the form
and you find the fine print says you're going to die
into a guy into the one
a world becomes a girl becomes the sun
fly into a guy into the one
world becomes a girl becomes the sun

you're sleeping i'm not sleeping and there's miles of night
i see something shining where there is no light
i just want to bury it and throw away the weeds when they grow
what makes me so mad?
that scream to wake the birds is only my heart beating
what makes me so mad?
translucent skin i'm looking in i feel a ghost
scared away and left the one i need the most
i just want to bury it and leave my tears to sink in the grave
what makes me so mad?
the shouting in my room is only my heart beating
what makes me so mad?
the heart beat calls my name the pattern on my thumb
the waiting and the dream have all turned into one
you're sleeping i'm not sleeping and i wonder why
i love to think about the time before the light
i didn't want to bury it and lift my head up into the sky
what makes me so mad?
the bass drum through the floor is only my heart beating
what makes me so mad?
that scream to wake the birds is only my heart beating
what makes me so mad?

in my life, wasted
opinion, distracted
basically growing like vegetable
stowing the secret i already know
one victim
reaction
waiting, wasting
i sit on the table
my life in a blink
my head is revolting
i shudder to think
i sit on my hands
you've taken my silence as total compliance
how could you feel any other way?
i'm spending my life and you're reading my lines out
why did i tell you how i play it?
wondering what if i crashed into feeling
could i get away with it?
you've stolen my wallet with all of my soul in it
picking my pieces and pissing in my pocket
i like you we can't see
i wish i could wake up
you've stolen my wallet with all of my soul in it
picking my pieces and pissing in my pocket
sit on my hands
i sit on my hands
how could you feel any other way?
i'm spending my life and you're reading my lines out
why did i tell you how i play it?
you've taken my silence as total compliance
how could you feel any other way?
wondering what if i crashed into silence
could i get away with it
i like you

read her name to me, just one young girl and her tragedy following her
fists and threats, he forgets they were the world, and he is misery
and when she sings her beauty stings his eyes are like a curse and hers
are permanently blue
we can keep her safe from you
we can keep her safe from you
just one drink makes you think how great your friends can be
wakes up a world where he can't be
here he comes
something dumb with loaded fingers and thumbs
she clings to my arms
and i can't give her the strength to live in the second before the people become
a corridor for two
we can keep her safe from you
we can keep her safe from you
it's true
and in a black back street with the back of your hand
now we're over understanding
how a guy like you gets born
there's only one of you
we can keep her safe from you
we can keep her safe from you
we can keep her safe from you
we can keep her safe from you
we can keep her safe from you
we can keep her safe
we can keep her safe
we can keep her safe
we can keep her safe from you
we can keep her safe from you
we can keep her safe
we can keep her safe
we can keep her safe
we can keep her safe...
from you

come someone who can cry someone who is i am in their eyes i'll follow you you're going
into the dark feet without a brain smarter for my heart and i try to feel like i feel i
lack like i like to be but it's not me (know that you could buy me with a kiss)
this is my jungle, this is my jungle i don't let anyone in here this is my jungle, this is my jungle grab
everything i give i can't even listen to you live stop my mouth with your
reasonable doubt happy to fall for the fool with the vulnerable animal heart
and i learn my lies and i arrive with my winning smile and my electric sun i come undone
this is my jungle, this is my jungle there's no room for you this is my jungle, this is my jungle
and you can't make love out of plastic and clay and you crash your life and you walk away
didn't i see?
this is my jungle, this is my jungle i don't want anybody in here
this is my jungle, this is my jungle i disappear, i disappear
this is my jungle, this is my jungle there's no room for you
this is my jungle, this is my jungle
this is my jungle, this is my jungle, this is my jungle
this is my jungle, this is my
jungle

you feel horrible roll into a ball you're a full fool feel like a flicker in a film borrowed by a viewer for an hour for a buck licking on a lollipop left by your luck looking like you're lying for your love while somebody's bloody heart's lying in a puddle in the mud wish you worry bout the one you call the one hurry past the hole that holds the whole missing out what might have been, the meaning of the man might may rain right hi i think i've found a buyer for your fire i think you think you thought you'd be with hire me i will be with you when you worked out what you wanted was to walk all you do is crawl you're unravelling heckling yourself head half full of hell half chemical half hysterical leaning out the window when your ego go away dying by your hand cos everybody says you can missing out what might have been the meaning of the missing out what might have been the meaning of the missing out what might have been the meaning of the missing out what might have been the meaning of the....

first time on earth
going to have to tell you how to laugh
smile like a star
a young disaster
you fist fight yourself like
look for the thread
try to keep the gloves above your head
time tied them tight
you can't pick things up
sit beside watch while
today's too much for you...you just want to go, don't you?
you're damned if you don't and you're dumb if you do
knock knock shoot the clock
slip into a sleep full of sweat
think you closed your eyes
see the water rise
swim like a child might
swear at the sun
fumble your words like a gun
you're rusting in the street
and you try to trust your feet to find you
someone un numb
today's too much for you...you just want to go, don't you?
aching in my arms, you've come to harm
you've come to harm, you've come to harm
die before you disregard the logic in your veins
you say the word again, you hear the word again, do you hate the word again?
step into my room
1000 of you
1000 of you
nobody cries
you slip out of your lies
flick (night) light dies
all of your cells yell surprise
death had beautiful eyes
death had beautiful eyes
soul in a spoon, heart in a jar, that's what you are
soul in a spoon, you're coming down soon, that's what you are
that's what you are, that's what you are
that's what you are, that's what you are

do you have a clue?
you don't have a clue
i've seen you talking with your friends
friends
clever young jokes in a world that never ends
ends
all the stars in the sky
just crossed your eyes
all the blood to your brain
is in vain
is in vain
walking up the steps with the lies behind your lips
all your stupid friends love you for your mind
i've seen you, perfectly designed
don't make me smile, don't make me smile
all you thoughts are perfectly unkind
don't make me smile
all the stars in the sky
just crossed your eyes
all the blood to your brain
is in vain
is in vain
don't make me smile, don't make me smile
all the stars in the sky
just crossed your eyes
all the blood to your brain
is in vain
is in vain

here you come to calmly kill the
drum behind my eyes
when water turns to solid
call out to passersby
when bullets turn to splinters
you are something,
have something,
have nothing,
want something,
want,
have my heart,
are my mind,
something,
i am a thing
my heart

i whisper louder than screams, you don't appear in my dreams, i read your
skin like a code, first time for nothing you know, we're going to live til we die
you're going to like what you get, i found you asking for more of something
you haven't got yet, you know what it is, don't know what it is,
you know what it is, boy i'm a burning, boy i'm a burning girl
flirting with fate like a wish, you me and the serious kiss, well like never
listens to like, so don't ever ask, natural, criminal thought, killing your
time to the point, i'll keep my thought in that place, this is the terrible word, this is the terrible word,
you know what it is, don't know what it is, you know what it is, don't know what it is,
boy i'm a burning, boy i'm a burning girl, boy i'm a burning, boy i'm a burning girl
clever crawled in on his knees, so many ways to say please
you know what it is, don't know what it is, you know what it is, don't know what it is,
you know what it is, don't know what it is, you know what it is,
boy i'm a burning, boy i'm a burning girl,
boy i'm a burning, boy i'm a burning girl,
boy i'm a burning, boy i'm a burning girl,
boy i'm a burning, boy i'm a burning girl...

(you wanted to be weightless you didn't want to wait)
we are
the sad sad people those scared scared scared scared eyes insane unseen an island inside inside out
minds unbeing dead isn't being alive what's wrong with the air, what's wrong with the air
what's wrong with the air, what's wrong with the air? the red line when
the sky ends the pretty ugly lives can't take your car to heaven can't take god
for a drive unbeing dead isn't being alive what's wrong with the air,
what's wrong with the air, what's wrong with the air, what's wrong with the air? what's wrong
with the air what's wrong with the sky what's wrong with your eyes? what's wrong with the air
what's wrong with the sky? around you, around you, around you, around you, in mourning
for the morning, you laughed yourself into the afternoon you thought was endless you wanted to be weightless unbeing dead isn't being alive
what's wrong with the air, what's wrong with the air, what's wrong with the air,
what's wrong with the air? what's wrong with the air what's wrong with the sky
what's wrong with your eyes? what's wrong with the air what's wrong with the sky?
around you, around you, around you, around you, around you, around you
around you, around you, you wanted to be weightless you didn't want to wait
you wanted to be weightless you didn't want to wait
you wanted to be brainless you didn't want to think
you wanted to be shameless you didn't want to want to

hi, i'm an ordinary organism
and i was kinda linging the walls
in a warzone, slamdance, backbeat
poison and meandering
i hear the little voice say
oh baby are you all alone?
i get ready for the dangerous behaviour
i feel the pull of my genetic code
sometimes what you see
makes you holler for your saviour
especially the babies
all set to explode
i look up past the jewellery
the ecstasy, the insanity
i count the knives
count the teeth in her smile
people are just animals
angry, hungry
they falter for an instant
then you see the child and you say -
i love you baby
love you every single little bit
i love your walk, your talk
your smile, your style, your tits
i love the way you swing that
circumstance around
you could ask me again
and i would bow down, i'd bow down, but...
i see you but i don't believe you
i see you but i don't believe you
i see you but i don't believe you
i see you but i don't believe you
i see you but i don't believe you
i see you but i don't believe you
i see you but i don't believe you
hey, i see you but i don't believe you

when we are together
we journey to the sea
and i am always at the wheel
well that's what you say to me
and can you tell me
when we reach the water
and can you tell me
when my face is wet
look, look in the mirror
for the bounce and spark
of the butt you've thrown
don't turn around
you're a long way from home
you look in my wardrobe
and tell me what i've done
you say that my mind
is as dark as trodden boards
you say i don't understand
but at least i know it
do you see yourself in me
and hide away in fright?
look, look in the mirror
for the bounce and spark
of the butt you've thrown
don't turn around
you're a long way
you're a long way
you're a long, long way from home

there's a girl i know with a poison rose
she's gonna bring her
i suppose
everybody's got a pretty friend
the words they buy
the time they spend
goodnight
when her friend's around
she disappears
amid the broken stems
and tears
everybody's got a pretty friend
the words they buy
the time they spend
goodnight
it's a bitter pill
and it's hard to swallow
she could take the lead
but she never follows
the bed of roses
turn to nails
the best laid plans
always fail
everybody's got a pretty friend
the words they buy
the time they spend
goodnight
goodnight
da-la-la-la-la...

you get the world for your birthday baby
open your eyes and say yes, no, maybe
the box ticks on, the core is a bomb
the world is silent
you listen like a lover to it
sometimes a mirror's a miracle
sometimes it's nothing at all
in this reflection even angels fall
you could fly anytime
ba-da-da-daa etc.
(even though you own your own comet)
ordinary people
it's okay
you don't have to wear those wings
they're stupid things
i know some dizzy, easy heights
don't stop your life at the lights
don't be smart, be a beginner
don't be wrong, even when it's right
ordinary people
it's okay
we're not watching anyway
it's okay
ba-da-da-daa etc.

you know you never know yourself
all the years you've lived
you could be someone else
and all the times you've been alone
all the lies you told
now haunt your perfect spacious home
and now there's no time
and now there's no time
it's not such a crime
to say you don't love her
all those awkward silences over breakfast
as you fumble with your toast
you know the magic's gone for good
little things get on your nerves
that never worried you before
and now there's no time
and now there's no time
it's not such a crime
to say you don't love her
and you swore
it would never happen to you
and you said
you'd always be so true
ba-da-ah-ah-ah-ah-ahh...
and now there's no time
and now there's no time
and now there's no time
and now there's no time
it's not such a crime
to say you don't love her

wide open eye
you serious?
you delirious?
kissing chaos
have you got a heart?
you could really lose it in the
super - people - mart
you are the most beautiful thing i know
and the most beautiful thing is
when i hear your heartbeat...beat...beat
will human be dumb and free
or some amazing catastrophe
never too scared to bare
to care to running to the riot
where the moment meets
the most beautiful thing i know
and the most beautiful thing is
something new i dunno why
i know all there is i know
something new i dunno why
i know all there is i know
lalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalaetc.
where is your how?
holding up your frown
a prop to stop you smiling now
heaven or the heather
or the miracles of weather
but you listen to
the most beautiful thing i know
and the most beautiful thing
darling
is when i hear your heartbeat...beat...beat
is when i hear your heart

am i real and what do i feel
hate is half a heart
only i am in my arms
you were sold as something to hold
nothing's as rude as the cold
stupidly beautifoolish true you
maybe madness is a heart
maybe heaven is a habit
if i could fly i'd live in the sky
i'd come from why and obviously you do too
the very start of everything hard could be the slip of a fingertip

a girl is the word
that she hasn't heard
the truth is tiptoeing the edge of her skirt
the traffic's a blur
the street's a river
she's bigger and braver than she is clever
see it's her! it's her!
see it's her! it's her!
a mind so complex
it's breaking her neck
she thinks she's a car
driving to its own wreck
too wild and cool, vulnerable
to think one could change her
that's where i'm a fool
won't you see it's her! it's her!
see it's her! it's her!
a girl is a verb
a whirl of colour
in doing she's being
she never thought she was thinking
anything you could
see it's her! it's her!
see it's her! it's her!
a girl is the word
a girl is a verb
a girl is the world...

the telephone's a terrorist
i'm not even listening
i'm walking with an audience
what isn't an accident
suddenly here the worst words
explode into love at my ear
i'm waiting to hear the worst words
explode into love at my ear
this is not my skin
i was invited in
a sweeter singer
than anything
suddenly here the worst words
explode into love at my ear
what's worse than my fears
the worst words explode
fear is my atmosphere
falling is frightening
i don't know what you're doing here
you are like my lightening
suddenly here the worst words
explode into love at my ear
suddenly pure the worst words
explode into love at my ear
...worst words explode...

do you ever wake up in the morning
somebody's changed the deal
who you are, the way you feel
the whole situation's just a little unreal
you're sleeping with an eight minute warning
living hanging over your head
it's just God's hand but i understand
sometimes it's kinda difficult to get out of bed
naked in my storm
you haven't even got a future just to keep you warm
you once were something wild
someone's lover, someone's child
do you hear that sound?
another young lover just hit the ground
do you know me at all?
do you ever look out of the window
somebody's changed the scene
you feel like you're standing in another country
nobody can understand what you mean
are you happy with your human hatred?
stand up and look into the vacancy and tell me -
have you already decided to die?
have you already decided to die?
do you hear that sound?
another young lover just hit the ground
all the boys and girls are falling in a hush in the unkind world
i remember a time when we were all quite prepared
to climb, but we were so young
and the one you say you love
is just the one you most mistrust
and you tiptoe through your lives
you pretend you're all so
dangerous

here's a door and
here's a window
here's the ceiling
here's the floor
the room is lit like
a black and white movie
the t.v.'s on, that's what it's for
and if you walk real slowly
you can feel the planet breathe
there's no need to feel so lowly
now that we've all learned to give
accidently kelly street
where friends and strangers
sometimes meet
accidently kelly street
i never thought life
could be so sweet
in the garden birds are singing
the sun is shining on the path
the wind is talking to the flowers
the dogs and cats all take a bath
and if you stop that talking
you can hear the traffic sigh
throw away those keys
start walking, watch those
tiny things go by
accidently kelly street
where friends and strangers
sometimes meet
accidently kelly street
i never thought life
could be so sweet
it's sunday everyday
and there's no need to rush around
inside of everybody there's sun
and laughter to be found
it seems that we're on holidays
and sleeping in is not a sin
all the housework's done by teatime
i'm feeling good about
the way i've been
perhaps this optimism
will crash on down
like a house of cards
i know that my decision
to change my life was not that hard
accidently kelly street
where friends and strangers
sometimes meet
accidently kelly street
i never thought life
could be so sweet
accidently kelly street
where friends and strangers
sometimes meet
accidently kelly street
i never thought life
could be so sweet
accidently...
accidently...
accidently kelly street
i never thought life
could be so sweet!

Take me some where sunny
lf you have a testimony
Ba da da da da
They give you easy blindness like a moneylender
And you may need bright lights for surgery
Ah-ahh, ah-ahh, tell me
l have a knife and time enough for everything
Yesterday covers your head
With that anesthetic dread
Beautiful, beautiful
Are you dangerous, dangerous
Think I'm gonna die of lust
Think I'm gonna die of lust
Bite the dust I will, I will
And I can't count past wonderful to tomorrow
Tell me if I die and never know
Beautiful, beautiful
Are you dangerous, dangerous
Think I'm gonna die of lust
Bite the dust do, do I will, I will
When every thing's gone
I will be your champion

We are love
We are pushed and shoved by the butterflies
Give me your widest eyes
My mutiny
Say something stupid in my ear
Everyone can hear
We're not impressed with the formulas
We're Gods with guns and guitars

show me anyone
the patient is gone
it hasn't been breathing since it learnt right from wrong
any innocent
got discontent
this is why children sing lament
are you dying yet?
do you remember to forget?
like i do, like i do
you got what you spent
one hundred percent of nothing's nothing
make my life unsafe for living
your diamonds are dirt
i'd much rather hurt than have all your addictions
if you want forever we'll f**k you baby
is it paper or bullets in the walls
when it could be possible, beautiful, wonderful
every little wing
flaps for something
but no one knows one
i got governments! i got continents!
this is important baby, come on, get up
aha!
aha!
aha!
aha!
aha!
aha!

hesitation's dangerous
you move or you taste the dust
life is coming for us
and it laughs at persistance
flawless you are
in the distance
oh brilliance shall we dance?
you love like you're under cameras
photography will damn us
i think that you think that you're famous
if you're alive you just have to be fearless
light me some serious steps
to burn in this meaninglessness
we twist, trip, turn
but our lives just repeat us
is it all we can be just to be us?
and no one uncovers any
original sincerity
we just dance with our history
our could, would, should be
here comes the silence to kill me
yesterday i noticed i love you
i'm holding my life like a weapon above you
i have no more words
i've spent them
if we want to dance we will have to invent them
always stepping the nothinglessness
sometimes i dream we're imagining it

hello my friend
it's morning, time to wake now
in body, in mind
entwined will have to break now
but i need your flesh
your warmth to stay beside me
oh how i wish
you could be deep inside me
show me your eyes
your low most tender feeling
and i'll give you mine
be truthful and revealing
and it's you that i love
and it's true that i love
and it's love not given lightly
but i knew that it's love
and it's you that i love
and it's more than what it might be
when we're alone
i cannot always face you
maybe my mood
won't let these arms embrace you
but that doesn't mean
my love's somehow diminished
give me the time
to show our love's unfinished
and it's you that i love
and it's true that i love
and it's love not given lightly
but i know that it's love
and it's you that i love
and it's more than what it might be
and every word i say is true
what can i say?
the words destroy all meaning
there's only cliches
to get across this feeling
this is a love song
for john and Desha's mother
this isn't easy
i might not write another
and it's you that i love
and it's true that i love
and it's love not given lightly
but i knew that it's love
and it's you that i love
and it's more than what it might be

Every time I think of you
I get a shot right through
Into a bolt of blue
It's no problem of mine
But it's a problem I find
Living the life that I can't leave behind
There's no sense in telling me
The wisdom of a fool won't set you free
But that's the way that it goes
And it's what nobody knows
And every day my confusion grows
Every time I see you falling
I get down on my knees and pray
I'm waiting for the final moment
You say the words that I can't say
I feel fine and I feel good
I feel like I never should
Whenever I get this way
I just don't know what to say
Why can't we be ourselves
Like we were yesterday
I'm not sure what this could mean
I don't think you're what you seem
I do admit to myself
That if I hurt someone else
Then I'll never see
Just what we're meant to be
Every time I see you falling
I get down on my knees and pray
I'm waiting for the final moment
You'll say the words that I can't say
Every time I see you falling
I'll get down on my knees and pray
I'm waiting for the final moment

I would open up the book
But I don't know where to start to look
You're so tall and you're so strong
Standing by me, but this won't take too long
Do you remember?
I called for you
And you were gone
I thought we were safe but I was wrong
I'm just left here standing looking on
You ask me which way I'll go
Whichever way the wind blows
I don't know
There is no eternity at any price
Beggars and choosers
Don't get to live in paradise
And people die for just one kiss
And it's plain to me
We are not being everything that we could be
No one wants to run the risk
Sometimes I wish I was blind

Labour of Love
Oh am I fooling you
Do you fall for it all
Or do you just see right through
Are you as cool as you believe
Are you playing hard
Are you waiting just to quietly clock my card
Are you waiting for a moment to leave
I don't know how I bent what you said
To what I believed you meant
I don't know anything at all
I'm standing in the push and shove
And I'm just within the rescue
Of the labour of your love
I can't do anything but fall
fall, a-fall-fall-fall
Why do I feel like I can never find you
Why do I feel like I'm the only survivor
Why am I thinking of
You and me and the labour of love
One chance, one shot
That's all anybody ever got
Newborn still warm
Naked in the rush hour
Dancing in my gutter
And if you want to find me
Call me, I'll be far from
The cars and guitars and
Everybody
Why do I feel like I can never find you
Why do I feel like I'm the only survivor
Why am I thinking of
You and me and the labour of love
And I never knew before
But I feel like a child in a cold, cold war
So strong, so tough
Sitting in suburbia, waiting for the wind up
And I don't want to dance
I just want to jump from the prison of circumstance
Why am I thinking of
You and me and the labour of love
Why do I feel like I can never find you
Why do I feel like I'm the only survivor
Why am I thinking of

I feel like my feet have forgotten the way to your door
I have my hands and my words but what are they for?
And you said, you thought I was cute but I'm just a cut flower
And every second's an hour
We scream, scream, that wasn't the way that it was
I believe beauty was drowned in because my mix
And match memory has managed to make you a god
And everything else I forgot
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye goodguy
I want to tell someone invisible that it's not fair
We're made up of moments and fingernails, toenails and hair
And in between be and begin and a jail of clay
How can you love me anyway?
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye goodguy
Something was hovering over you boy, just then
You scolded me, told me don't bother and vanished again
And everything perfect you said was just mirrors and wires
You look left, I was right here with my feet in my fire
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye goodguy

Sweet Abilena looks out at the midwestern sky
Sweet seventeen with a faraway look in her eyes
She said, "I feel like a bird in a cage
Come September I?m flying away"
And I said, "I?m gonna miss you"
Then I made her promise to write
Since we were tall as the corn in the spring
We shared every secret, shared every dream
So anxious to grow in the new summer rain
And bloom like a rose on the Calico plains
How could she hear as we laughed
On that warm summer night
The tiny heart of the baby, she carried inside
I stood beside her when September came
Watched her get married and caught the bouquet
And like those hand me down dresses she gave me
I made her dreams mine
From a seat by the window on wings made of steel
I stared at the patchwork over the fields
Where young tears that once fell like warm summer rain
Were turning to snow on the Calico plains
Sweet Abilena looks out at the midwestern sky
Closer to thirty but farther away in her eyes
She holds her babies like she holds her dreams
Each night she kisses and rocks them to sleep
While she reads the letters, she makes me promise to write

I would open up the book
But I don't know where to start to look
You're so tall and you're so strong
Standing by me, but this won't take too long
Do you remember?
I called for you
And you were gone
I thought we were safe but I was wrong
I'm just left here standing looking on
You ask me which way I'll go
Whichever way the wind blows
I don't know
There is no eternity at any price
Beggars and choosers
Don't get to live in paradise
And people die for just one kiss
And it's plain to me
We are not being everything that we could be
No one wants to run the risk
Sometimes I wish I was blind
