So we got married in Venice in June
So what?
We circled the Earth in a hot air balloon
So what?
and the rest of our lives
is one long honeymoon
well, that doesn't mean we're in love
If you really loved me
you'd buy me a beautiful pearl
but you've already bought me
all of the pearls in the world
so there's one thing I crave
when my days become ho-hum and blah
I want a zebra
We've got so many tchotchkes
we've pratically emptied the Louvre
In most of our palaces
there's hardly room to manoeuvre
I shan't go to Balie today
I must stay home and Hoovre
up the gold dust
That doesn't mean we're in love
If you really loved me
you'd buy me the Great Pyramid
Oh, I'm so forgetful, you already did
But there's one think I need
if you won't think I'm greedy, my deah
another zebra

Zelda looks lonely, I want a zebra

(Peters)
Wait! Cross now!
Wait! Cross now!
Wait! Cross now!
Wait! Cross now!
Here I am on the zebra
Here I am on the zebra
Laughing cars traffic war
Grinnin' grilles iron smiles
Traffic war laughing cars
Iron smiles grinnin' grilles
Here I am on the zebra (repeat)
Look left look right
Look right look out!!

You know you're gold, you don't gotta worry none
Oasis child, born and so wild
Don't I know you better than the rest
All deception, all deception from you
Your love is stag in the white sand
Wilderness for miles, eyes so mild and wise
Don't I know you better than the rest
All deception, all deception from you
Any way you run, you run before us
Black and white horse arching among us
Your love is stag in the white sand
Oasis child born into a man
Don't I know you better than the rest
All deception, all deception from you
Wilderness for miles, eyes so mild and wise
Oasis child, born and so wild
Don't I know you better than the rest
All deception, all deception from you
Any way you run, you run before us

Well, come on pretty baby won't you walk with me
Come on pretty baby won't you talk with me
Come on pretty baby give me one more chance
Try and save our romance
Slow down
Baby, now you're moving way too fast
You gotta gimme little loving
Gimme little loving
Ow, if you want our love to last
Well I used to walk you home baby after school
Carry your books home, too
But now you got a boyfriend down the street
Baby what're you trying to do
You better slow down
Baby, now you're moving way too fast
You gotta gimme little loving
Gimme little loving
Brrr, if you want our love to last
Well you know that I love you, tell the world I do
Come on pretty baby, why can't you be true?
I need you badly, baby, oh so bad
The best little woman I ever had
Slow down
Baby, now you're moving way too fast
You gotta gimme little loving
Gimme little loving

If I could only relive yesterday
I think I'd try to do it right
If I had one more chance to be with you
I think it just might save my life
Chorus:
Just one more chance
And I will be your love forever
One more chance, one more chance
Just one more chance
And I will be your love forever
One more chance, one more chance
I'm caught it the same old world
And I just can't get my head unwhirled
And I'm looking for any old place to hide
I took a journey down thru paradise
I think I'd like to make it twice
I took another journey yesterday
I hope it just won't ruin my life
Chorus:
Just one more chance
And I will be your love forever
One more chance, one more chance
Just one more chance
And I will be your love forever
One more chance, One more chance

In the middle of winter
The trees are bare and the bears are hibernating
The only sound in the forest
Is the sound of snow heard crashing to the ground
And in the middle of loving
I hope you'll find a place in your heart for them
They really can't do us any harm
It is only us who can do harm to them
But there's an animal that winter won't affect at all
He sits by fireplaces waiting for the winter's fall
He owns guns and oh you know he's got that gun in his hand
He's a man and oh he's got that precious thing in his hand
So in the middle of loving
I hope you'll find a place in your heart for them
When it's cold and the grass is gold
All the animals take shelter as they hide
And when an animal can't find shelter
Some time winter takes over and he dies
But there's an animal that winter won't affect at all
He sits by fireplaces waiting for the winter's fall
He owns guns and oh you know he's got that gun in his hand

And I said before
I don't want no more
And I can't complain
'cause my minds insane
I won't say it again and I won't even think about it
I just hope you believe me but I
think that you're gonna doubt it
when I say it again
As I said before
I don't want no more
And I can't complain
'cause my mind's insane
I won't say it again and I won't even think about it
I just hope you believe me but I
think that you're gonna doubt it
when I say it again
Leaves on the trees
Nothing more to believe
I can't be sure
And I know I'm not crazy
Life is just a pleasant breeze
Tides rush the shore
Pleasing me a little more
Nothing here to fight me
Everything delight's me
Hope I get my tea by 4
But don't lay no second laughs down my way
Don't let the evening's that devour you lie forever
Don't you lay no second laughs down my way
Don't let the evening's that devour you lie forever
As I said before
I don't want no more
And I can't complain
'cause my mind's insane
I won't say it again and I won't even think about it
I just hope you believe me but I
think that you're gonna doubt it

You rest your mind
Flying to the home that you knew
You made you past
Trying to get home in as few but
All the time
Your mind is just aching for
All the time
You can't stop but faking it
All the time
Your mind is just breaking your heart
You rest you heart
Oh, listen to me
You can be 'bout, anywhere
You can take you mind anyplace because
Your mind's open, the rest is up to you
You can dream 'bout any dream
You can take safaris right up into the sky's open,
the rest is up to you
You can do it
You can dream it all
Sing it in your heart
Don't have to be lonely
You can do it
You can feel it all
Breakin' in your heart
Don't have to be lonely
You can do it
You can leave it all
Make another start
You can be 'bout, anywhere
You can take you mind anyplace because
Your mind's open, the rest is up to you
You can dream 'bout any dream
You can take safaris right up into the sky's open,
the rest is up to you
Might wind up just anywhere
Might wind up just anywhere

Don't' do anything I wouldn't do
Pass me anyway, like I'm a fool for you
Passionate anyway
Walkin' out the back door
Used to be alive until just now
It's just becoming unreal
You're only losing your heart
It's nothing critical
You wont believe it till it starts
You're only losing your heart
It's not unusual
It's only tearing you apart
Don't' do anything I wouldn't do
Pass me anyway, lie like a fool
Laugh at me anyway
Walkin' out the back door
Used to be alive until just now
It's just becoming unreal
You're only losing your heart
It's nothing critical
You wont believe it till it starts
You're only losing your heart
It's not unusual
It's only tearing you apart
Oh, how can I be
So far away
Without a reason?
Should I know
How not to lose?
How can I not
Follow you anywhere?
But I'm lost
Take me away!
Takin' all my time, make me a choice
Passionate anyway
Walkin' out the back door
Used to be alive until just now
It's just becoming unreal
You're only losing your heart
It's nothing critical
You wont believe it till it starts
You're only losing your heart
You can't believe it to be
The thing that's tearing you apart
You're only losing your heart
It's nothing visual
You won't believe it till it starts
You're only losing your heart
The thing you're dreamin' of is
The thing that's tearing you apart

Why am I here all alone
I'm gettin' growing pains
And I'm feeling so old
I'm gettin' tired,
Walkin' in the rain, sleepin' in the sand
Now life has taken its toll
And now my sanity's gettin' harder to hold
I'm kinda tired
Walkin' in the rain, sleepin' in the sand
Now don't take advice from a stranger
You can't live your life by what others do
We're all here alive for a reason
You'll never know
You'll never know just what it means
You'll never know just what it was
You'll never know just what it means
You'll never know just what it was
How can I make it alone?
It's such a crazy world,
And I'm feelin' so stoned
I'm kinda tired
Walkin' in the rain, sleepin' in the sand
Just sleepin' in the sand
You can't see the light from an angel
You can't add the price of what others do
We're all here alive for a reason
You'll never know
You'll never know just what it means
You'll never know just what it was
You'll never know just what it means
You'll never know just what it was
You'll never know just what it means
You'll never know just what it was
You'll never know just what it means

Time can never lose the game
Will never lose
Time can never feel the pain
Will never feel
There's a wheel that turns our fortunes
There's a light to lead the way
It's holding back tomorrow
From a destiny today
I used to be so lonely
Never thought that I could find the time
Never thought that I could give it up
Ahhh
It's back to
Here today
But never leave
Do what you want
Here today
Don't ever leave
It's what you want
It's here today
But never leave
Do what you want
Here today
But never leave
Time, can never lose the game
Will never lose
Time, can never feel the pain
Will never feel
From a love that's going nowhere
To a heart that feels the pain
It's holding back the forces
Of a destiny distained in vain
I used to be so lonely
Never thought that I could find the time
Never thought that I could give it up
Ahhh
It's back to
Here today
But never leave
Do what you want
Here today
Don't ever leave
It's what you want
It's here today
But never leave
Say what you will
You can't shout it up and crowd it up
and shout it on down
Look around, look around
It's what you want
It's here today
But never leave
Do what you want
Here today
Don't ever leave
It's what you want
It's here today
But never leave
Do what you want
It's here today
Don't ever leave me
When you call me up
In the evening
And we're standing there in time
You can feel the wind,
Touch the stars
Leave our cares behind

I won't be the fool in my life
I won't change the rules in my life
In all your silence
I knew it all along
You haven't got the sense to know
what's right from what is wrong
And I really haven't got the time to
tell you about the things that are absurd
Chorus:
Don't fear tomorrow
Don't fear tomorrow
I won't play the fool to your knife, to your knife
You can't change the tune in my sight, in my life
With all you science, I knew it all along
You haven't got the nerve to write the words
within this song
And you really haven't got the time to tell
me why you really are
You really haven't got the time to tell me
why you really are
You really haven't got the time to tell me
why you really are
Chorus:
Don't fear tomorrow

Take your fingers from my hair
They have gotten us nowhere
We can't last another second
For we are two, too lost for open doors
Take your memories and your ways
Let me see a brighter day
Greener fields aren't hard to hope for
It's just hard to go on living here without you
Chorus:
Somewhere I have dreamed
That you haven't got the time to be with me
Somewhere though it seems
That you have been making lovin' without me
Starshine, moonshine
you're the light that shines upon me baby
I know, you'll go
find yourself another lover lady
Let me tell you how I feel
Loving others isn't real
You are blind
Too blind to notice
That their love is not the love we share together
Chorus:
Somewhere I have dreamed
That you haven't got the time to be with me
Somewhere though it seems
That you have been making lovin' without me
Starshine, moonshine
your the light that shines upon me baby
I know, you'll go
find yourself another lover lady
Starshine, moonshine
you're the light that shine upon me baby
I know, you'll go

I never made it
I just put it off a while
Just sleepin' at the bottom of a tree with my shoes off
I never faked it
I just do it awful well
Just dreamin' of a time when I can take another day off
Because ooh, well it's got me down
By the riverside
Got me down today
Well it's got me down
By the riverside
Got me down today
I never craved it
I never do it all
I just wake up in the morning by the tree and shake the dew off
I never saved it
I just hung it out a while
I'm not leavin' with the bottom of my feet up in a U-Haul
You know you look so pitiful
Easily critical
You shouldn't be so cynical
All from the pit of your heart
Well it's cruel the way you pass me by
Well it's hard, and it's hard
Well you've got me down
By the riverside
Got me down today
Well it's got me down
By the riverside
Got me down today

You never thought that it could ever end in a day
Thinkin' 'bout our fortune babe
Say it isn't so
You never thought that there were other plans
In the ways of seeking fortune like you never had it
Say it isn't so
It started looking like we'd never win anyway
Thinkin' 'bout our fortune babe
Say it isn't so
I say that someday that you will be mine
There always seems to be another man
In the ways of seeking fortune like we never had it
I pray that you'll change your mind.
Given the time
Think about the life that you made and what you used it for
Ooh, think of it all
Think about that way that you took but never gave at all
Ooh, think of it all
I look at myself
Look at us all
Look at the things we did before
We did it before
We're children at heart
Children at heart
You never stopped to think and never planned
on the day they would be a callin' you
Say it isn't so
You used it up like it would never end
on a day when there was no more time for seeking fortune
Say it isn't so
It started looking like we'd never win anyway
Thinkin' 'bout our fortune babe
Say it isn't so
I say that someday that you will be mine
Within the future lies another plan
in the ways of seeking fortune like we never had it
I pray that you'll change your mind

The time is now or never
The crashing is coming near
The delphi is on the corner
And he whispers in your ear
It used to be men could be solemn even while laughing
And laughter could be heard shore to shore
But no more
Now all you hear is crying
Cause no one's on the phone
Your feet are just now freezing over
You know that you are here all alone
It used to be men could be solemn even while laughing
And laughter could be heard shore to shore
But no more
When I think of friends and places
Things we wanted, hoped we'd be
All that's left is fading traces
Memories of what use to be
Hear their laughter, see their shadows
Feel the darkness, see the light
We had lit all but lost so quickly
We think we won but we lost the fight
But it's all the same to me
I've seen all I want to see
First they laugh at you
Then they cry
Say they'll always be there
Then they die
So alone yet so alive
It used to be men could be solemn even while laughing
And laughter could be heard shore to shore

Just when I wake up and baby you call
You're driving my mind up the side of a wall
I'm giving you my best now I'm begging you please
I'm not in the mood to see you on your knees
Sayin' you won't run on the street again
Sayin' you will come back runnin' back again
Saying you won't buy on the street again
Sayin' you will come runnin' back again
But you better not call me
You'd better not cry
You'd better not wake me up in the morning
Just a tellin' me lies
No you had better not call
I used to call her
Call!
I used to call her
Just when I'm knocked out, and baby you call
I look in your eyes and you're not there at all
Sayin' you won't run on the street again
Sayin' you will come back runnin' back again
Saying you won't buy on the street again
Sayin' you will come runnin' back again
But you had better not call me
You'd better not cry
You'd better not wake me up in the morning
Just a tellin' me lies
No you better not call me
You'd better not cry
You'd better not wake me up in the morning
Just a tellin' me lies
No you had better not call
I used to call her
Call!
I used to call her
Sayin' you won't run on the street again
Sayin' you will come back runnin' back again
But you better not call me
You'd better not cry
You'd better not wake me up in the morning
Just a tellin' me lies
But you better not call me
You'd better not cry
You'd better not wake me up in the morning
Just a tellin' me lies
No you had better not call
I used to call her
Call!

Well you're walking on the moon
But there's nothing
No there's nothing left to do deep inside
And you can't believe it's real
Got ya thinking boy
(You) may be better off to stay than to slide
Lucky boy!
But now she's falling close to you
And there are things that just cannot last forever
And there is nothing I can say that is possibly kind
But I'm about to make the time
Cause I'm about to lose my mind
And you think you're on the move
But there's nothing
No there's nothing left to breathe deep inside
And you say it's in the wheels,
God it's stinkin' boy
Well you know that all you said was a lie
Lucky boy!
But now she's falling close to you
And there are things that just cannot last forever
And there is nothing I can say that is possibly kind
But I'm about to make the time
Cause I'm about to lose my mind
And I'm about to make the time
Cause I'm about to lose my mind
Yes I'm about to make the time
Oohhhh
I do it
We're gonna do it
Gotta stop and take it slow
You blew it
They're gonna screw it
Gotta stop and steal the show
You count the ways
You stop it!
And you say you're on the move
But there's nothing
No there's nothing left to do deep inside
And you can't believe it's real
Got ya thinkin' boy
Maybe better off to stay than to die
Thinkin' boy
But now she's falling close to you
And there are things that just cannot last forever
And there is nothing I can say that is possibly kind
But I'm about to make the time
Cause I'm about to lose my mind
And I'm about to make the time
Cause I'm about to lose my mind
But I'm about to make the time

You wake up in the morning
And you're not feeling quite the same
You feel a gentle hand upon you
But you seem to have forgotten her name
You put on your clothes
You're heading home
You're hoping and praying you
won't be all alone
Chorus:
When you get there
When you get there
You haven't had a chance to think
About explaining where you slept till noon
You can't say you were working all night
Cause it's Sunday afternoon
The truth is too hard
You'll never come back
'Cause a one night stand is not
worth the attack
Chorus:
When you get there
When you get there
You're walking up to our front door
As my face comes into view
You think you've got a pretty good lie
You say you slept at Mary Lou's
You open the door
You start telling lies
But then from the hall
You hear Mary Lou cry
Chorus:
When you get there
When you get there
When you get there

You packed your bags, I heard you left last night
You left a world of broken hearts
You couldn't tell us why
You only made us cry
Like in '64
The days are long the gloom is hid by night
They make a point we can't deny
The pain we can't conceal
The feelings that we feel
Those that never heal
So here's a lullabye
Close your eyes and sleep tonight
So here's a lullabye
Close your eyes and make us cry
The world you dreamed
We tried to make our lives
You made a point we can't deny
I know the dream was real
The difference is feel
How mysterious
You stole the show, you know you played it right
Way back in 1965
Oh no, well well
The truth was far from real
Reality was feel
Why not save a seal
The days are long your tune is in the song
Without your love along the way
You said the things you know could make it right

I've got feelings inside me
I'm not letting you know
I can't stop the wastin' of the world
Wastin' all the days and minutes hours slip away
I can't stop the ways in which you plan
To leave our past behind
I know they've changed your mind
Isn't that the way someone told you
Isn't that the way someone cared
Isn't that the way someone told you
Isn't that the way someone cared
I can't stop the rest of me
From not letting you know
I'm not here to preach to you what I had
Faking all the feelings that I started letting grow
I can't stop the ways in which you plan
To do it all, leave it all behind
Tomorrow's left my mind
Isn't that the way someone told you
Isn't that the way someone cared
Isn't that the way someone told you

No matter when you call
No matter what you say
Wink and I'll be there
No matter when you fall
Or what the time of day
I'm gonna be there
All those lies
Made you cry
You'll never know
How much it shows
It's all been left for you
You'll never know
How much it shows
He's makin you the fool
You've gotta look into my eyes
Remember all the years
To know that I'll be there
Whatever time of day
No matter what the way
I'm gonna be there
All those lies
Made you cry
You'll never know
How much it shows
It's all been left for you
You'll never know
How much it shows
He's makin you the fool
Leavin' all out heartaches behind
Take the time to rest up your mind
Well you know
In the daily affairs of the moments
Of my life I need you!
Look into my eyes
No matter what you say
I'm gonna be there
All those lies
Made you cry
You'll never know
How much it shows
It's all been left for you
You'll never know
How much it shows

All the dreams
You can't live without
All the love that you made
You can't live without
If you look at the grief in your heart
And the dreams that you had are all gone
You'd better stop it now
You just can't take it hard
You'd better stop it now
You just can't take it so hard, right now
All the praise
You can't live without
All the highs in the days you can't live without
When you look to the right and the one
Who was saying goodbye is now gone
You'd better stop it now
You just can't take it hard
You'd better stop it now
You just can't take it so hard, right now
All left behind
I'm not here to find and amaze you
All left my mind
I'm not here to try and appraise you now
I didn't wanna hold you up
You know I wanna hold you
But never wanna hold you up
I didn't wanna call
All the love you can't live without
All above you can't live without
Well you look to the right and the one
Who was saving your love for a song
Is telling you she's gone
Right now, oh now
You'd better stop it now
You just can't take it so hard, right now
You'd better stop it now
Or she's gone

Nothing to say no place to hide
I can't find a good reason even to lie
All of our dreams are gone
I may not be right but I'm surely not wrong
And it's gonna be hard
So very, very hard living without you
Well don't you know that it's
Hard living without you
Nowhere to go, no place to run
We started out just having fun
Well, I never cared too much
Not till the going got so very rough
And it's gonna be hard
So very, very hard living without you
Don't you know that it's
Hard living without you
Don't you know that it's
Hard living without you
Well, don't you know that it's
Hard living without you
Baby don't you know that it's
Hard living without you
Don't you know that it's
Hard living without you
Well, don't you know that it's
Hard living without you
Baby don't you know that it's
Hard living without you

The time is right but don't be critical
The same could happen to you
You know I'm not right and I can't be analytical
About the things you're going through
Look at me baby now you think I might be crazy
But you just can't touch me now
I know I'm not right and I really can't be lazy
and I think I'm going home
Look into my eyes
The high is fine but don't be cynical
The game is still the same
If you're coming up light and you want some retribution
Then believe in what I say
Take a position where there ain't no superstition
And just grab whatever's gold
'Cause if you're coming up light on the day of testimony
They'll just send you packing home
They're gonna do it to ya!
Look into my eyes
Wait for the lies
Wait until the summer's gone
Waiting for the lines to fall
Wait until the summer's gone
Look into my eyes

We sailed away
We walked 2 thousand miles
and then we slipped away
We looked so hard
But couldn't seem to find just what
the world was for
Now we know
Just what the journey's for
Looking out to the stars
Think about what you are
What do they think of you
Animals in their zoo
They haven't got the time
Landing's not on their minds
How do they have the nerve
We're animals in preserve
They watch us all
They're only making sure that we
don't trip and fall
Now they look so hard
But they can't tell us why they're
here and just what for
Because they don't know
Who opened up the door
How can we find out more
Who owns the keyless door
Where does the circle end
Who are the unwatched men
Where do we go from here
Faith is a fading fear
Life is a waiting room
I hope they don't call me soon
How much more do you really
think you know than a flower

I don't know why you keep lying
about your sanity
Always keep on fighting 'til the end
And I can't stop you from shining
up your vanity
Never taking chances to pretend
Chorus:
We get one chance to sip the wine
And life don't come on borrowed time
He just cries with no reply
If we only knew just what it takes
To leave the others making their mistakes
If you care to say that life ain't
worth it anyway
Beze's gonna grab you in the end
If you see a fool in memories that
belie the rule
Always take the chances to pretend
I heard the voices of the people as
they started praying
I heard them singing songs of laughter
as they started saying
Well don't walk away
I heard the voices of the people as
they started praying
I heard them singing songs of laughter
as they started saying
Well I know why you have lied
about your vanity
Always, never fighting till the end
And I can't stop you trying to save
your sanity
Heaven will protect us in the end
Chorus:
We get one chance to sip the wine
And life doesn't come on borrowed time
He just cries with no reply
If we only knew just what it takes

I've been wasting my time
I am losing my mind
My head's on the floor
For evermore
I have given you all
All that I had
But with a slam of the door
You've driven me mad
Now I'm sad
Tell me what you want
You have taken it all
All of my love
Unrelenting you told
You told me a lie
So I can cry
There aren't words for it all
All that I feel
With the palm of your hand
You crushed me for real
Now what's the deal
Tell me what you want
I'm wishing to God you're gonna say you miss me
I'm crossing my fingers that you say you're gonna kiss me
I'm wishing to God you're gonna say you miss me
I've got my fingers crossed you'll kiss me one more time
So I can say I ain't been wasting my time
I am losing my mind
My head's on the floor
For evermore
I have given you all
All that I had
But with the slam of the door
You've driven me mad
Now I'm sad
Tell me what you want
I need you so bad

In the middle of winter
The trees are bare and the bears are hibernating
The only sound in the forest
Is the sound of snow heard crashing to the ground
And in the middle of loving
I hope you'll find a place in your heart for them
They really can't do us any harm
It is only us who can do harm to them
But there's an animal that winter won't affect at all
He sits by fireplaces waiting for the winter's fall
He owns guns and oh you know he's got that gun in his hand
He's a man and oh he's got that precious thing in his hand
So in the middle of loving
I hope you'll find a place in your heart for them
When it's cold and the grass is gold
All the animals take shelter as they hide
And when an animal can't find shelter
Some time winter takes over and he dies
But there's an animal that winter won't affect at all
He sits by fireplaces waiting for the winter's fall
He owns guns and oh you know he's got that gun in his hand

Now, forget those things you used to do.
The way you tried to hold onto
All those things that were lost before.
I have started now to realize
The things you did to hypnotize
Were the things to unlock the door.
No tellin' lies, no tellin' lies.
No tellin' lies, no tellin' lies.
Down into that cave of Harry Lowe
Our monkey friends are making sure
That their tracks are never seen at all.
War, a holocaust you've never seen.
A whole lot worse than Atom screams
Took a race to the final stall.
No tellin' lies, no tellin' lies.
No tellin' lies, no tellin' lies.
No tellin' lies, no tellin' lies, no tellin' lies, OH!
We have not had time to realize
The things we've done and theorized
May be lost now and evermore.
No tellin' lies, no tellin' lies.

they said i'm worn thin from wasting to much time
on your sidelines waving a sign that says i will work
for you but they don't know your kiss to me is a hatchet through my chest
that sends me down a flight of stairs hitting every step
and i swear to god
it's not my fault this mask i wear
it's not my fault this gloom i bare
it's not my fault this mask i wear
it's not my fault this gloom i bare
it's not my fault this mask i wear
it's not my fault this gloom i bare
and they said i'm tired from waiting around for you
the reasons i start fires is that's what lost men do
split dogs and hoof in mouth you are broken glass
don't care if i cut myself i'll crash into the crash
you stung me bad, what can i do?
but leave the stinger in so i won't forget you
you stung me bad, what can i do?
but leave the stinger in so i won't forget you
ahhhhh they said i'm wrong
ahhhhh i know i'm wrong
ahhhhh they said i'm wrong
ahhhhh i was born wrong

I swim around your island
All you do is knock me down
Our fingers haven't died yet
In this darkness I will pray
In this darkness I will pray
In this darkness I will pray
In this darkness I will pray
Come and see, it's for free
Come and see, it's for free
I know it's hard, I know it's hard
I know it's hard, I know it's hard
I know it's hard, I know it's hard
Can't you see that
When I touch the surface
I see there is nothing around
I kill the soul that I bless
In this darkness I will pray
In this darkness I will pray
In this darkness I will pray
In this darkness I will pray
Come and see, it's for free
Come and see, it's for free
I know it's odd, I know it's odd
I know it's odd, I know it's odd

Caught forever on paper torn tethered,
time sends its regards from pictures that never saw
the light of day.
Just tucked in a box and hoarded away
so that eyes could never gaze upon faces of old.
Memories that I had longed to hold.
So hold me now,
that I am not strong enough to hold myself.
I am old enough now to know better than to bare my cross
