Send us a blindfold, send us a blade
Tell the survivors help is on the way
I was a blindfold, never complained
All the survivors singing in the rain
I was the one with the world at my feet
Got us a battle, leave it up to me
Find us a trapdoor, find us a plane
Tell the survivors help is on the way
I was a blindfold, never complained
All the survivors singing in the rain
I was the one with the world at my feet
Got us a battle, leave it up to me
What it is and where it stops nobody knows
You gave me a life I never chose
I wanna leave but the world won't let me go
Wanna leave but the world won't let me go
What it is and where it stops nobody knows
You gave me a life I never chose
I wanna leave but the world won't let me go
Wanna leave but the world won't let me go
What it is and where it stops nobody knows
You gave me a life I never chose
I wanna leave but the world won't let me go
Wanna leave but the world won't let me go
What it is and where it stops nobody knows
You gave me a life I never chose
I was the one with the world at my feet
Got us a battle, leave it up to me
Leave it up to me, leave it up to me
Piss-poor, ridin' high
Sun-bathin' fire-side
We're here for the porn
Of the sirloin
Get your T-bone, let your backbone slide
Tunnel and sky collide
Lose friends to the air waves
And the airlines
I wanna make it right
Some future in my eyes bright
Hush, don't explain
When you water down my name
I'll be up too late
Call me when you get
Better at your game
You haven't beat me yet
The waitress, the actress
Got the skin and the bones
With the hairbrush and an air brush
She'd be white gold
She asked the piss-poor
"Why you lookin' for that party in the sky?
It's just a movie about a movie
Too old to die"
But I'm gonna make it right
Future in my eyes bright
Hush, don't explain
When you water down my name
I'll be up too late
Call me when you get
Better at your game
You haven't beat me yet
Though my vision is strainin'
I'm gonna make it right
Some future in my eyes bright
Hush, don't explain
When you water down my name
I'll be up too late
Call me when you get
Better at your game
Get the rope, tie me to the bedpost.
Because I can't find within myself the happy host
If I find my piece of mind, torture me
If I seem too serene, torture me
Torture me with all I've wanted (torture me)
Hit me with the way they're flaunted (with all I've wanted)
When I am surrounded (torture me)
Torture me with all I've wanted
Torture me with all I've wanted
Bring me meat, bring me fire, one backless strapless copper thread gown, giddy kitty gut twine.
Bring turpentine, I can't stand by high streets that fight the bland,
I've got to bite the hand; so if i find a piece of mind, torture me.
If I seem too serene, torture me.
(Torture me with all I've wanted, When I am surrounded)
Torture me with all I've wanted (torture me)
Hit me with the way they're flaunted (with all I've wanted)
When I am surrounded (torture me)
Torture me with all I've wanted
Torture me with all I've wanted
Torture me with all I've wanted (torture me)
Hit me with the way they're flaunted (with all I've wanted)
When I am surrounded (torture me)
Torture me with all I've wanted
Torture me with all I've wanted
(Torture me with all I've wanted, When I am surrounded
When I am surrounded
I wondered if you could come and help me
I want to get from here to there
I saw your face looked down tonight
I only hope that you're alright
I know you think it's always you who
Needs some time alone, needs some time alone
To feel down
To feel down
After tonight, another day
A chance to feel a different way
The sun is slowly changing sides
Still, sorrow in your eyes
Sorrow in your eyes
So feel down
So feel down
Heavy hearts swaying low
Feel down, let it go
So feel down
So feel down
Feel down
So feel down
Monster hospital, can you please release me?
You hold my hands down, I've been bad.
You hold my arms down, I've been bad.
I've been bad, I've been bad.
I fought the war but the war won
Monster movie, Daddy Warbucks up against Bobby Fuller
And he beat him hands down
Lead in the head
Put a little lead in his head.
I fought the war but the war won
I fought the war but the war won
I fought the war but the war won't stop for the love of god.
I fought the war but the war won
Middle-aged, do the low rise on the waist
London half-life
Middle-aged, you're the low riser
getting over myself today
And if you're compromised, Drive your car through the rain
And if you've been beaten, Drive your car through the rain
Until you wash off the buzz
Don't pull over 'till you're sure one that wanted the floor
one that won't know the street, one that wanted to land
on the heart with his feet up
oh watch out, you're only better off with half your life
otherwise wasted
We were too wasted to close the window
Friends and family looking in to my only hiding place
The rhythm of a strangers skin
Infidel to die for
What i am doing will happen in the morning
When the mirror won't recognize me
He holds a certain gesture when we're loving to ask each other
Do you want it? Do you want me?
I want it, it is you, you are where I want to be.
Who is he? (oh)
Why would I (do)
Hitch a ride? (the)
I can drive. (twist)
Who is she? (oh)
Why would I (do)
Hitch a ride (the)
When I can drive. (twist)
Somebody put me back in school, I forget everything
I used to know know to leave the boy behind
Without having to watch him go
Who is he? (Circumstantial) (oh)
Why would I (do)
Hitch a ride? (the)
I can drive. (twist)
Who is she? (Circumstantial) (oh)
Why would I (do)
Hitch a ride? (the)
All dressed down to catch a whiff of the buzz
Smells like the death of the last great cause
But you & I we€™ve been through that and that is not our fate
Give my face to the back of your head
Loyal in your shadow
Yeah yeah yeah
Broken accidental stars
Do lawyers have lawyers?
Do landlords have landlords? we€™re wondering
One more cheap suit in the loop, more chlorine in the pool
The blonde dolls smiling behind us
Say, one day you€™ll be just like us
All dressed up to catch a glimpse of the list
We€™ve seen some success, it looks like a camero
Yeah yeah yeah
Broken accidental stars
Do lawyers have lawyers?
Do landlords have landlords? we€™re wondering
One more cheap suit in the loop, more chlorine in the pool
The blonde dolls smiling behind us
Say, one day you€™ll be just like us
Calling from the next hotel €" can you put me on the list?
Who we are now we will always be- the best haircuts are taken
Calling from the next hotel €" can you put me on the list?
Who we are now we will always be- the best haircuts are taken
Calling from the next hotel €" can you put me on the list?
Who we are now we will always be- the best haircuts are taken
Calling from the next hotel €" can you put me on the list?
Who we are now we will always be
Get straight and wait here while I try to find the exit sign
When will you stop asking strangers, no one wants what we want
Keep one eye on the door, keep one eye on the bag
Never expect to be sure
You're working for the police and the private, the pirates and the pilots
Fingerprinted waiting for the train
The doctor, the writer, the hairdresser,
Felt up and fingerprinted waiting for the train
Lord lord mother you're all losing love
Lord listen lover you're all missing mama
Lord lord mother you're all losing love
Lord listen lover you're all missing something I don't got
There's a place that ends here I know
When they close the gates I'll cry
I'm so tired of never sleeping
The whole world wants what we're on
Didn't make this up I learned, I learned it from a friend
My friend is coming clean, she told me
Keep one eye on the door, keep one eye on the bed
Never expect to be sure who you're working for
You're working for the police and the private, the pirates and the pilots
Fingerprinted waiting for the train
The doctor, the writer, the garbage collector
Fingerprinted waiting for the train
Lord lord mother you're all losing love
Lord listen lover you're all missing mama
Lord lord mother you're all losing love
Lord listen lover you're all missing love
Got to get out
Got to get to you, the orphanage is closing in an hour
Wipe it up you're capable of putting back a few when you have to
Memorize the history of your body like a virgin;
Ladies night, 80's night; the kids get high and eat TV,
So do we. For Halloween I want to be Lenny Bruce
I want them to hate me So you can love me on the sly
My old flame broke the 12 bar blues just to prove he could.
He pays the airline DJs now. He is everywhere
I want him to hate me So you can love me on the sly.
I don't feel so far away from you lately, love me on the sly
Fill me in on horrible, how much is there, where else can I live?
The dirty sugar factory on the water should smell sweet
I want them to hate me
Behold the fishnet slut tonight
Hustle Rose goes from limb to limb
Fingertip to painted lip she sways her way up to him
Says, "Now that your wallet is all lit up
Now that your wallet is all lit up
Now that your wallet is all lit up
Now that your wallet is all lit up
Now that your wallet is all lit up
Now that your wallet is all lit up
Now that your wallet is all lit up
Now that your wallet is all lit up
Now that your wallet is all lit up
You're gonna wanna wear it out"
If you're looking for something life-like
Hit a sardine nightclub
If every surface you touch is cold
Never go home
He says, "I can't feel a thing, my dreams are so tight
Why wouldn't I stand in line tonight?"
Now that your wallet is all lit up
You're gonna wanna wear it out
You're gonna wanna wear it out
You could throw me a bone
If I get too close you wake me up
Remind me softly to go
If I forget won't you wake me up
Remind me not to feel a thing
Keep the dream tight
I can't feel a thing
My dreams are so tight
Giving the chances to leave the basement life, another landlord's wife,
Furnished room, celebrate the first flight window bird's eye view
You, hardwired, I'll try to play the guitar
Stay focused on the first boring morning though we both see it coming, we don't run.
Let the silence settle in our bones
You are everything you are nothing at all
You are every night you fade to light the room
Daylight lights (hides) a new one on you.
Giving the chances to take it all in stride while we walk a broken line, a line of signs
You, hardwired, I'll try to play the guitar
Stay focused on the last boring morning though we both see it coming, we don't run.
Let the silent settle in our bones
You leave your eyes there for me to memorize
Say you wanna get in
And then you wanna get out
When you get the money
To buy yourself a castle
How will you wear your leisure
Zipper back and front
On the fence together
Weekends in leather
Flip to the right
Slip back to the left
For handshakes at the ranch
Small talk at the crossroads
Rubbing up to the ladder
Sucking on every rung
Coming up forever and hanging on
That's entertainment
When the cameras roll
Can you face the pavement
For a happy dog and pony show
Everybody loves you baby
Of coarse they do
Do you miss me
I miss you
Buy this car to drive to work
Drive to work to pay for this car
( Instrumental )
All this that is more than a wish is a memory
All this that is ceases to be
All is revealed
The obvious door opens nothing
Nothing, nothing, nothing left
Nothing left to chance
When you try to see, we'll watch you
When you try to leave, we'll keep you
When you should be dreaming, we'll wake you
But don't scream, we'll make you swallow your words
Gave them our reactions, our explosions, all that was ours
For graphs of passion and charts of stars
Gave them our reactions, our explosions all that we are
For graphs of passion and charts of stars
How ending starts
There was no way out, the only way out was to give in
There was no way out, the only way out was to give in
How I love to give in
Here no one sleeps, one lays up while the other lies down
Where no one sleeps, one lays up while the other lies down
Ask the line on your face what the line on your hand meant
We couldn't see what was coming
Shake your head it's empty
Shake your hips move your feet
Shake your head it's empty
Shake your hips move your feet
I'm so glad that I'm an island now
Sickness was fixing me some
Coughed out my heart in the last stall
Now that the damage is done
Skip town. slow down
Push it to the east coast
Step down turn around
Push it to the west
Need less, use less
We're asking for too much I guess
Cause all we get is...
Dead disco
Dead funk
Dead rock and roll
Remodel
Everything has been done
La la la la la la la la la la
Tits out, pants down
Overnight to London
Touch down, look around
Everyone's the same
World wide, air tight
No one's got a face left to blame
And all we get is...
Dead disco
Dead funk
Dead rock and roll
Remodel
Everything has been done
La la la la la la la la la la
Dead disco
Dead funk
Dead rock and roll
Remodel
Everything has been done
La la la la la la la la la la
I know, I know you tried to change things
I know you tried to change
We used to leave the blue lights on and there was a beat
Ever since you have been gone it's all caffeine-free
Faux punk fatigues
Said it all before
They try to kick it, their feet fall asleep
Get no harm done no
None of them want to fight me
Combat baby come back baby
Fight off the lethargy
Don't go quietly
Combat baby
Said you would never give up easy
Combat baby come back
Get back in town I wanna paint it black
Wanna get around
Easy living crowd so flat
Said it all before
They try to kick it, their feet fall asleep
I want to be wrong but
No one here wants to fight me like you do
Combat baby come back baby
Fight off the lethargy
Don't go quietly
Combat baby
Said you would never give up easy
Combat baby come back
I try to be so nice
Compromise
Who gets it good?
Every mighty mild seventies child
Every mighty mild seventies child
Beats me
Do doo doo doo
Combat baby come back baby
Combat baby come back
Bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye baby
Combat baby come back
How I miss your ranting
Only know what I'm told, only know what I'm told
Fast asleep daydreaming
Start to push, break your own glass ceiling
Can't count, can't catch the pieces falling
Who let it end up on the ground
How am I gonna know you're letting me down
How did I end up on the ground
Only do what I'm told, only do what I'm told
Last to leave cold calling
You're gonna lose your arms, amputate plasticine
There's no knight in silver armor shining
Who let it end up on the ground
How am I gonna know I'm letting you down
Who let it end up on the ground
How did he end up on the ground
Face down on the ground
Only go where I'm told, only know what I'm told
Inch to inches crowding
We can't leave, it's the last road open
There's spring in the air
They're sweeping the streets
Wind is a breeze
The sun becomes her he agrees
What's holding up her face?
Nothing but blue skies
Passage ways to windows
That don't close
Where do you live?
Love is a place
Where are you from?
She says, ask yourself ask anyone
What's holding up her face
Nothing but blue skies
Passage ways the mind's eye
All the gold and the guns in the world couldn't get you off
All the gold and the guns and the girls couldn't get you off
All the boys, all the choices in the world
I remember when we were gambling to win
Everybody else said better luck next time
I don't wanna bend like the bad girls bend
I just wanna be your friend, is it ever gonna be enough?
Is it ever gonna be enough?
Is it ever gonna be enough?
Is it ever gonna be enough?
Is it ever gonna be enough?
Is it ever gonna be enough?
Is it ever gonna be enough?
All the lace and the skin in the shop couldn't get you off
All the toys and the tools in the box couldn't get you off
All the noise, all the voices never stop
I remember when we were gambling to win
Everybody else said better luck next time
I don't wanna bend like the bad girls bend
I just wanna be your friend while you're giving me a hard time
I remember when we were gambling to win
Everybody else said
Is it ever gonna be enough?
Is it ever gonna be enough?
Is it ever gonna be enough?
Is it ever gonna be enough?
Is it ever gonna be enough?
Is it ever gonna be enough?
Ooh, ooh
More and more, more and more
More and more, more and more
And more and more, more and more
More and more and more and more
More and more, more and more
More and more, more and more
And more and more, more and more
More and more and more and more
(Is it ever gonna be enough?)
More and more, more and more
More and more, more and more
(Is it ever gonna be enough?)
And more and more, more and more
(Is it ever gonna be enough?)
More and more and more and more
(Is it ever gonna be enough?)
More and more, more and more
More and more, more and more
(Is it ever gonna be enough?)
And more and more, more and more

Saw the water, not the waves
Caught your eye, forgot your name
Always leaving, either way
I want you to stop me
Episodes to fantasize
TV movie of our lives
The future is all mine
I'll find it on my way back
When I'm gone
I'll know what I've done
I'll go where I don't belong
It's all, not one
I love everything
No sleep; I lose everything
Oh don't tell me again
I won't see you again
Not one
I love everything
No sleep; I lose everything
Oh, don't tell me again
I won't see you again
Saw the waves, but not the tide
I couldn't stay, I don't know why
A sailor married to the sea
My luck is a lost key
The door is locked from the inside
Don't wait around, I won't arrive
Keep a room somewhere for me
I'll find it on my way back
When I'm gone
I'll know what I've done
I'll go where I don't belong
It's all, not one
I love everything
No sleep; I lose everything
Oh don't tell me again
I won't see you again
Not one
I love everything
No sleep; I lose everything
Oh, don't tell me again
Did they tell you, you should grow up when you wanted to dream
Did they warn you, better shape up if you want to succeed
I don't know about you, who are they talking to?
They aren't talking to me
I'm higher than high, lower than deep
I'm doing it wrong, singing along
I'm higher than high, lower than deep
I'm doing it wrong, singing along
Did I ask you for attention when affection is what I need
Thinking sorrow is perfection I'd wallow till you told me
There's no glitter in the gutter
There's no twilight galaxy
Go higher than high, go lower than deep
Keep doing it wrong, keep singing along
Go higher than high, go lower than deep
Keep doing it wrong, keep singing along
I'm alright, c'mon baby I've seen all the demons that you've got
If you're not alright, now c'mon baby
I'll pick you up and take, take you where you want
Anywhere you want, anywhere you want
Anywhere you want, anything you want
I'm higher than high, lower than deep
I'm doing it wrong, singing along
Go higher than high, go lower than deep
Keep doing it wrong, keep singing along
Go higher than high, go lower than deep
Keep doing it wrong, keep singing along
I'm higher than high
I've been sleep walking
Through the railway station
Wake me up
When they call my destination
Where I've been
I was bound to leave behind
All device
And all disease was mine
Speeding out of reach
You're the one I had to meet
I never wanted to go home
(The wanderlust will carry your song)
There was nothing there for me
(The wanderlust will carry your song)
In a high rise on my own
(I've been on all kind of highways for so long)
Looking out in a mirrored balcony
(The wanderlust will carry your song)
Will there ever be a place for you and me
(The wanderlust)
I'm rolling in
For a seven day weekend end
Living up again
To my old reputation
Can you cover me
'Cause I got no armour
Keep moving down the line
Keep on going further
Speeding out of reach
You're the one I had to meet
I never wanted to go home
(The wanderlust will carry your song)
There was nothing there for me
(The wanderlust will carry your song)
In a high rise on my own
(I've been on all kind of highways for so long)
Looking out in a mirrored balcony
(The wanderlust will carry carry carry your song)
I don't know where to go
Now I got nowhere to hide
(Nowhere to go nowhere to be)
I don't know where to go
Now I got nowhere to be
(Oh wanderlust will carry your song)
Walk fifty city blocks down but they always find us
(The wanderlust will carry your song)
Will there ever be a place for you and me
(The wanderlust will carry your song)
Tears me up to be stuck at the gates
How you stay in one place like molasses
All you want
All you want
Is somebody to get off on
Alibi with the man that you offer
All the ways it's untrue, I won't fight
All you're not
All you're not
All dishonest in your heart
Lullaby and they play it on the guitar
Fire you up to get out and get some
All this is
All this is
But the bottle did get dropped out
All you want
All you want
Some of us are wild ones
Ever under wanted I believe
Lining up in the background
Waiting for the crowd shot to be seen
In the shadow of the big screen
Everybody begs to be redeemed
Hey, I'm not synthetica
I'll keep the life that I've got
We were never meant to
Crawl in for the bait
We never will
I can think for myself
I've something no pill could ever kill
Hey, I'm not synthetica
I'll keep the life that I've got
So hard, hard to resist
Synthetica
No drug is stronger than me
Synthetica
We're all the time confined to fit the mold
But I won't ever let them make a loser of my soul
Ahhh
Hey, I'm not synthetica
I'll keep the life that I've got
I'll keep the life that I've got
I'll keep the life that I've got
All the way from where we came,
We built a mansion in a day,
Distant lightning, thunder claps,
Watched our neighbor's house collapse,
Looked the other way.
And then the storm was overhead,
All the oceans boiled and river's bled.
We auctioned off our memories in the absence of a breeze
Scatter what remains, scatter what remains.
Pushed away, I'm pulled toward,
A comedown of revolving doors.
Every warning we ignored,
Drifting in from distant shores.
The wind presents a change of course,
A second reckoning of sorts,
We were wasted waiting for a comedown of revolving doors.
(Fate don't fail me now)
And when the days that followed past,
In another mansion built to last.
From our window we could see,
Only possibilities down the road and back.
But, then the storm returned for more,
In a come down of revolving doors.
Auction off our memories in the absence of a breeze.
Scatter what remains, scatter what remains.
Pushed away and I'm pulled toward,
A come down of revolving doors.
Every warning we ignored,
Drifting in from distant shores.
The wind presents a change of course,
Second reckoning of sorts,
We were wasted waiting for a come down of revolving doors.
(Feet don't fail me now)
(Feet don't fail me now)
(Feet don't fail me now)
Climb the wall to make the sun rise in time
But the night had already begun
Climb the wall to make the sun rise in time
But the night had already begun
Now here I am, I am the one
So hang high soft star
Don't shine for swine
Not a lot of room to move, but where's my guide?
I tried looking up to you girls
Please correct me, but didn't you let the work slide
Capitalize on a novelty, cheap pink, spotlight.
Is it all right?
Choose the highest bidder was my answer
What they told me I was up for sale
Schoolyard, Junior high style
Bullies have always tried to buy the better girls
But failed now, the cheque is in the mail.
Bubble gumball martini
Is nothing like dépanneur red wine
Travel through time
Who were you after you were mine?
Choose the highest bidder was my answer
When they told me I was up for sale
Schoolyard, junior high style
Bullies have always tried to buy the better girls
haven't they? Choose the brightest future
pay the death and try to buy the better girls
but failed till now, the cheque is in the mail.
So hang high
Soft rock star
Hang high
Soft rock star
Don't shine before swine
Choose the highest bidder was my answer
When they told me I was up for sale
Schoolyard, junior high style
Bullies have always tried to buy the better girls, haven't they?
Choose the highest bidder was my answer
When they told me I was up for sale
Schoolyard, junior high style
Bullies have always tried to buy the better girls
Hold it, I'm about to drop off
Let me tell you my last thought
Drift into a deep fog, lost where I forgot to
Hold it, I can feel you most when I'm alone
Coming home 'cause I want to hang out with the starlet
Stare up at the ceiling, preview of a screening
Flashback of a feeling, sixth sense of a call
And heard you fuck through the wall, I heard you fuck
When I'm bored I send vibrations in your direction
Through the satellite mind
When I'm bored I send vibrations in your direction
Through the satellite mind
I'm not suicidal, I just can't get out of bed
I drift into a deep fog, lost where I forgot to
Hold it, I can feel you most when I'm alone
I can feel your ghost when I'm alone
Coming home 'cause I want to hang out with the starlet
Stare up at the ceiling, hiding and revealing
Flashback of a feeling, sixth sense of a calling
And heard you fuck through the wall, I heard you fuck
When I'm bored I send vibrations in your direction
Through the satellite mind
When I'm bored I send vibrations in your direction
Through the satellite mind
When I'm bored I send vibrations
Through a satellite mind, through the satellite mind
A satellite mind, mind, mind, a satellite
A satellite mind, mind, mind, a satellite
The town where she was born, like town where I was born was built by white settlers seeking gold and other treasures.
Like me she feels uncomfortable in the clothing of her ancestors.
"It's not easy" she would say, putting her fingers in the ashtray, "It's not easy to erase your blood"
Rock me now in the arms of cobwebs
(come on, sing with me)
Roll me out in the arms of cobwebs
That night she found a man to treasure and together they'd planted flowers of warning, fearing frost.
Late on shallow evenings while their enemies slept, they hammered the soil asking for answers in green.
His value declined when he offered his name. Why did he offer it?
His value declined when he offered his name.
(Ah ah ah ah ah)
When she was 7 years old she saw a man get shot but no one came along for a long time because it happened in a remote parking lot in Las Vegas
And she was waiting for her mom to come back from working the blackjack table at the Circus Circus casino.
And that night her mom said that the two of them and the now dead guy were the only 3 people who ever lived in Las Vegas.
Everybody else just arrived, ate their complimentary shrimp cocktails, and left.
Rock me now in the arms of cobwebs
(It's a one room city, yeah)
Roll me out in the arms of cobwebs
(So can you roll with me?)
His value declined when he offered his name.
(Ah ah ah ah ah)

Promiscuous makes an entrance
Her mouth is full of questions
Are we all brides to be
Are we all designed to be confined
Buy ourselves chastity belts and lock them
Organize our lives and lose the key
Our faces all resemble dying roses
From trying to fix it
When instead we should break it
We've got to break it before it breaks us
Fear of pretty houses and their porches
Fear of biological wrist watches
Fear of comparison shopping
Dogs on leashes behind fences barking
Pretty little pillows on floral couches
Until our faces all resemble dying roses
Stop trying to fix it
Patriarch on a Vespa
Runs a red and ends up
Steal once, pay twice
Advice to head, I won't, I might
Advice to head, steal once, pay twice
Advice to head, I won't, I might
Advice to head
Steal once, pay twice
Advice to head, I won't, I might
Advice to head, steal once, pay twice
Advice to head, I won't, I might
Advice to head
You always said that love was not enough
Always on the move
(Advice to head)
Even though we longed to shut it out
We could never choose
(Advice to head)
Now we know there's nothing waiting up
Better than the truth
(Advice to head)
I wanted to be part of something
I've got nothing but time
So the future is mine
I wanted to be part of something
I've got nothing but time
So the future is mine
I wanted to be part of something
I've got nothing but time
I've got a little black book with my poems in
I've got a bag with a toothbrush and a comb in
When I'm a good dog they sometimes throw me a bone in
I got elastic bands keeping my shoes on
Got those swollen hand blues.
Got thirteen channels of shit on the T.V. to choose from
I've got electric light
And I've got second sight
I've got amazing powers of observation
And that is how I know
When I try to get through
On the telephone to you
There'll be nobody home
I've got the obligatory Hendrix perm
And I've got the inevitable pinhole burns
All down the front of my favourite satin shirt
I've got nicotine stains on my fingers
I've got a silver spoon on a chain
I've got a grand piano to prop up my mortal remains
I've got wild staring eyes
I've got a strong urge to fly
But I've got nowhere to fly to
Ooooh Babe when I pick up the phone
There's still nobody home
I've got a pair of Gohills boots
I'm the blade, you're a knife
I'm the weight, you're the kite
They were right when they said
We were breathing underwater
Out of place all the time
In a world that wasn't mine to take;
I'll wait
Is this my life?
Ahhh
Am I breathing underwater?
Is this my life?
Ahhh
Am I breathing underwater?
I'm a blade, you're the knife
I'm a weight, you're the kite
They were right when they said
We should never meet our heroes
When they bowed at their feet
In the end it wasn't me
Is this my life?
Ahhh
Am I breathing underwater?
Is this my life?
Ahhh
Am I breathing underwater?
Nights are days
We beat a path through the mirrored maze
I can see the end
Ahhh
But it hasn't happened yet
I can see the end
Ahhh
But it hasn't happened yet
Is this my life?
Ahhh
Am I breathing underwater?
Is this my life?
Ahhh
Am I breathing underwater?
Am I breathing underwater?
On the day we were supposed to leave
You changed your mind at the station
You had a nice apartment
There was a good bar downstairs
Your old friend worked there
I'll go anyway, I'll go anyway
They won't refund the ticket
It's a good story
But I don't want to live it alone
Crash to take a chance
I wanna live it out
Look at you, I know I'm already dead
No concrete adversity
Only traps of our own actions
How we wanted it to be
Now I'm never gonna see you again
You turned off
Vertabrae by vertebrae
Roll your way out of a coma
Look up, the nurse is smiling
What luck, the nurse is me
Your old body is dead
Your body's dead, you're a word instead
In my sleep I repeat it
It's a good story
But I don't want to live it alone
Crash to take a chance
We were gonna live it out
Look at you, you're already dead
How will you remember me
Digging ditches out of boredom
Said you would never leave
Now you're never gonna be here again
You checked out
Dum dum dum dum dum
Sha la la la la
Old world underground where are you now?
Subtract my age from the mileage
On my speeding heart, credit cards
Accelerate, accumulate
Looked for you downtown
Wound up in a movie with no story
Now it's late and you are nowhere to be found
Hesitation's always mine
Hesitate outside the times
With all I don't say
With all I don't do
I'm sending you
Invitations to hesitate too
Every ten year-old enemy soldier
Thinks falling bombs are shooting stars sometimes
But she doesn't make wishes on them
When she wishes, she wishes for less ways to wish for
More ways to work toward it
Ten year-old enemy soldier
Our falling bombs are her shooting stars
Hesitation's always mine
Hesitate outside the times
Oh call me or drop me a line
Say you've been with me
Say you've been with me
Say you've been with me
This whole time
Old world underground I never knew you
But I've seen your face everywhere
There was a farm before we tore
The small town down
I tremble, they're gonna eat me alive
If I stumble they're gonna eat me alive
Can you hear my heart beating like a hammer?
Beating like a hammer
Help, I'm alive, my heart keeps beating like a hammer
Hard to be soft, tough to be tender
Come take my pulse, the pace is on a runaway train
Help, I'm alive, my heart keeps beating like a hammer
Beating like a hammer, beating like a hammer
Beating like a hammer
If you're still alive my regrets are few
If my life is mine what shouldn't I do?
I get wherever I'm going, I get whatever I need
While my blood's still flowing and my heart's still
Beating like a hammer, beating like a hammer
Help, I'm alive, my heart keeps beating like a hammer
Hard to be soft, tough to be tender
Come take my pulse, the pace is on a runaway train
Help, I'm alive, my heart keeps beating like a hammer
Beating like a hammer, beating like a hammer
Beating like a hammer
If you're still alive my regrets are few
If my life is mine what shouldn't I do?
I get wherever I'm going, I get whatever I need
While my blood's still flowing and my heart's still beating like a hammer
Beating like a hammer, beating like a hammer
Beating like a hammer
I tremble, they're gonna eat me alive
If I stumble they're gonna eat me alive
Can you hear my heart beating like a hammer?
Beating like a hammer, beating like a hammer
Beating like a hammer
Help, I'm alive, my heart keeps beating like a hammer
Say you wanna get in
And then you wanna get out
When you get the money
To buy yourself a castle
How will you wear your leisure
Zipper back and front
On the fence together
Weekends in leather
Flip to the right
Slip back to the left
For handshakes at the ranch
Small talk at the crossroads
Rubbing up to the ladder
Sucking on every rung
Coming up forever and hanging on
That's entertainment
When the cameras roll
Can you face the pavement
For a happy dog and pony show
Everybody loves you baby
Of course they do
Do you miss me
I miss you
Buy this car to drive to work
I'm in the front row with a bottle
Don't know what I can't decide
I'm in the front row, I'm a model
Don't know what I can't describe
Burned out stars they shine so bright
All of us, burned out stars they shine so bright
He's not perfect, he's my hero
Smashing the piano, spitting in the front row
Chronic confrontation, psychic conversation
Radical compassion louder than the action
All of us, burned out stars they shine so bright
All of us, burned out stars they shine so bright
All the stars, burned out stars they shine so bright
All of us, burned out stars they shine so bright
I'm in the front row with a bottle
Don't know what I can't decide
I'm the front row, I'm a model
Don't know what I can't describe
Burned out stars they shine so bright
All of us, burned out stars they shine so bright
He's not perfect, he's a victim
Of his occupation, social insulation
Secret intervention, charge him with possession
I just wanna watch him make or break and beat them
All the stars, burned out stars they shine so bright
All the stars, burned out stars they shine so bright
All the stars, burned out stars they shine so bright
All the stars, burned out stars they shine so bright
Burned out stars they shine so bright
Burned out stars they shine so bright
Burned out stars they shine so bright
Burned out stars they shine so bright
There you stood
on the edge of your feather,
Expecting to fly.
While I laughed,
I wondered whether
I should wave goodbye,
Knowing that you'd gone.
By the summer it was healing,
We had said goodbye.
All the years
we'd spent with feeling
Ended with a cry,
Babe, ended with a cry,
Babe, ended with a cry.
I tried so hard to stand
As I stumbled
and fell to the ground.
So hard to laugh as I fumbled
And reached for the love I found,
Knowing it was gone.
If I never lived without you,
Now you know I'd die.
If I never said I loved you,
Now you know I'd try,
Babe, now you know I'd try.
Babe, now you know I'd try,
When I get to the bottom of it I sink
Seems like nothing I said
Ever meant anything
But a headline over my head
Thought I made a stand
only made a scene
There's no feast for the underfed
All the unknown, dying or dead
Keep showing up in my dreams
They stand at the end of my bed
Have I ever really helped anyone but myself
To believe in the power of songs
To believe in the power of girls
Though the point were making is gone
Played stripped down to my bone
I'll shut up and carry on
The scream becomes a yawn
Our parents daughters and sons
Believed in the power of songs
What if those days are gone
My memory is strong
Anyone not dying is dead
And baby it won't be long
So shut up and carry on
The scream becomes a yawn
I'll shut up and carry on
The scream becomes a yawn
Baby where ever you are, baby whatever you do
If the fire's out baby
How you gonna keep me warm?
Supposing you left me
With the door wide open no one can leave
I know it's a lie, I want it to be true
The rest of the ride is riding on you
Over goodbyes we'll buy some place for
Wishing you could keep me closer, I'm a lazy dancer
When you move I move with you
Wishing you could keep me closer, I'm a lazy dancer
When you move I move with you
If somebody's got soul
If somebody's got soul
If somebody's got soul
You gotta make the move, make the move
I know it's a lie I want it to be true
The rest of the ride is riding on you
Over goodbyes we'll buy some place for
Wishing you could keep me closer, I'm a lazy dancer
When you move I move with you
Wishing you could keep me closer, I'm a lazy dancer
When you move I move with you
Wishing you could keep me closer, I'm a lazy dancer
When you move I move with you
Wishing you could keep me closer, I'm a lazy dancer
When you move I move with you
Hello again, friend of a friend, I knew you when
Our common goal was waiting for the world to end
Now that the truth is just a rule that you can bend
You crack the whip, shape shift and trick the past again
I'll send you my love on a wire
Lift you up, everytime, everyone, ooo, pulls away, ooo
From you
Got balls of steel, got an automobile, for a minimum wage
Got real estate, I'm buying it all up in outer space
Now that the truth is just a rule that you can bend
You crack the whip, shape shift and trick the past again
I'll send you my love on a wire
Lift you up, everytime, everyone, ooo, pulls away, oo
Mechanical bull, the number one
I'm just as fucked up as they say
I can't fake the daytime
Found an entrance to escape into the dark
Got false lights for the sun
It's an artificial nocturne
It's an outsider's escape for a broken heart
We hide out in the back
Like shadows in a stranger's dream
Hiding out in the back together
Hiding out in the back forever
I'm me
All that I believe
In dreams
So real
Fate, I have to take the con
Fate don't fail me now
I'm me
All that I believe
I set myself free
So take all the time you need
And let yourself be
I'm as fucked up as they say
I can't fake the daytime
Found an entrance to escape into the dark
Got false lights for the sun
It's an artificial nocturne
Hangman we played rubber soul with a razor blade
Behind the church, hiding place, it was a long joke till
The punch line came. Can you read my mind? Read my mind
Follow along to the end of the song
Hangman we played double dutch with a hand grenade
Behind the church, hiding place. Apathetic to the devil's
Face. Wear the sheriff's badge put your toys away
They let us go saying let us pray!
Hangman we played hide and seek on the fire escape
Through the smoke we saw the flame it was a long
Wait til the firetruck came. on the count of three
Jump with me on the count of three
1... 2... 1... 2... 3... GO!
Hangman we played blind man's bluff with the
9th Brigade throw the brick through the windowpane,
Double dutch til they stop the game, till the cops
Show up hand cuff stunned let us go but we
Lost one! Hangman we played blind man's
Bluff til they stopped the game Youth without
Youth born without time, Youth without
Falling for the creep the body leech here he comes
Vicious hypnosis, a clenched fist saying it's wrong
To want more than a folk song
Underneath the shaker knit he's a brick wall
She keep falling for the trick vegetariate sing-along
Give a little kick with your fine thigh high
Doo-doo-doo we're on to you
Tearing her down, talking her down under your breath
Making a mess, see she is happy you wanna break it
Doo-doo-doo we're on to you
Tearing her down, talking her down under your breath
Making a mess, see she is happy you wanna break it
Doo-doo-doo we're on to you

Telling her what to think we are

Hardly a day goes by you don't try to break down
No I don't buy it
You're still around I wonder why
She just keep...

"you'll never believe me so why don't you find out for yourself
Then you'll see the glass hidden in the grass
Bad seeds come and go for which you must allow
You can burn your paper fingers in the ashtray
Place your swollen lips on mine
You can shave your heavy head in my carpeted hallway
Sure for the first time you're wearing the right clothes
Now take them off
Meet me on the band room rug
Tie my right hand to the ride
You can take a live wire into the bath with you
For a feeling you can't find
You can entertain your childhood friends with a tour of the bedroom
Laugh to erase the dirt on your mind
Oh let's move out
Meet me at the motel
Tie my right hand to the bible
Too little too late but we can't say no
It's too much to feel
All night, like a child
I stayed up to prove
I can keep up
All night, like a fool
I stayed up to prove
I can keep up with you
All night (made a plan, it was grand, but you're still in the void)
All night (sing along with the band, but you're losing your voice)
All night (made a plan, it was grand, but you're bored by choice)
All night (sing along with the band, but you're still in the void)
What can I say
I stay up to prove
I can keep up
I stay up to prove
I can keep up with you
All night (made a plan, it was grand, but you're still in the void)
All night (sing along with the band, but you're losing your voice)
All night (made a plan, it was grand, but you're bored by choice)

All night (made a plan, it was grand, but you're still in the void)
All night (sing along with the band, but you're losing your voice)
All night (made a plan, it was grand, but you're bored by choice)
All night (sing along with the band, but you're still in the void)
Get straight and wait here while I try to find the exit sign
When will you stop asking strangers, no one wants what we want
Keep one eye on the door, keep one eye on the bag
Never expect to be sure
You're working for the police and the private, the pirates and the pilots
Fingerprinted waiting for the train
The doctor, the writer, the hairdresser,
Felt up and fingerprinted waiting for the train
Lord lord mother we are all losing love
Lord listen lover we are all missing mama
Lord lord mother we are all losing love
Lord listen lover we are all missing something I don't got
There's a place that ends here I know
When they close the gates I'll cry
So tired of never sleeping
The whole world wants what we're on
Didn't make this up I learned, I learned it from a friend
My friend is coming clean, she told me
Keep one eye on the door, keep one eye on the bed
Never expect to be sure who you're working for
You're working for the police and the private, the pirates and the pilots
Fingerprinted waiting for the train
The doctor, the writer, the garbage collector
Felt up and fingerprinted waiting for the train
Lord lord mother we are all losing love
Lord listen lover we are all missing mama
Lord lord mother we are all losing love
Lord listen lover we are all missing mama
Lord lord mother we are all losing love
Lord listen lover we are all missing mama
Lord lord mother were all losing love
Lord listen lover we are all missing love
Got to get out
Lonesome for no one when
The room was empty and
War as we knew it was obsolete
Nothing could beat complete denial
All we do is talk, sit, switch screens
As the homeland plans enemies
All we do is talk, static split screens
As the homeland plans enemies
Invasion's so succexxy
Let's drink to the military
The glass is empty
Faces to fill and cars to feed
Nothing could beat complete denial
All we do is talk, sit, switch screens
As the homeland plans enemies
All we do is talk, static split screens
As the homeland plans enemies
Invasion's so succexxy
Passive attraction, programmed reaction
Passive attraction, programmed reaction
Action distraction, more information
Flesh saturation, lips on a napkin
Ass ass ass
Where does the time go?
We're waking up so slowly
Days are horizontal lately
Out of body, watched from above
Out of body, watched from above
Passive attraction, programmed reaction
More information, cash masturbation
Follow the pattern- the hemlines, the headlines
Action distraction,faster than fashion
Faster than fashion,faster than fashion
Lonesome for no one when
The room was empty and
War as we knew it was obsolete
Wanna make a bet
We'll be neck to neck taking off the gloves
Spider versus bat
Tiger versus rat, rabbit versus dove
Wanna make a bet
Odds are neck to neck taking off the gloves
Spider versus bat
Tiger versus rat, owl versus dove
Every living thing pushed into the ring
Fight it out to wow the crowd
Guess you thought you couldn't just watch
No one's getting out
Without stadium love
Without stadium love
Wanna make a trade
Cougar for a snake, wanna fall in love
Wanna make a deal
Angel versus eel, owl versus dove
Every living thing pushed into the ring
Fight it out to wow the crowd
Guess you thought you couldn't just watch
No one's getting out
Without stadium love
Without stadium love
We've got stadium love
We've got stadium love
We've got stadium love
We've got stadium love
Stadium love, love, love, love
Stadium love, love, love, love
Watch out, Cupid stuck me with a sickness
Pull your little arrows out and let me live my life
You better watch out, Cupid stuck me with a sickness
Pull your little arrows out, let me live my life
The one I better lead, all the blinds are fantasies
And we looked at them eleven ways
You said, "Look at me", I looked away
And you wrote the song I wanna play
I'll write you harmony in C
Everybody, everybody just wanna fall in love
Everybody, everybody just wanna play the lead
Everybody, everybody just wanna fall in love
Everybody, everybody just wanna play the lead
Play the lead, play the lead
Watch out Cupid, money is a sick muse
Pull your little arrows out and let me live my life
She said, "I'm with stupid", money is a sick muse
Pull your little arrows out and let me live my life
The one I better lead, all the blinds are fantasies
And we looked at them eleven ways
You said, "Look at me", I looked away
And you wrote the song I wanna play
I'll write you harmony in C
Everybody, everybody just wanna fall in love
Everybody, everybody just wanna play the lead
Everybody, everybody just wanna fall in love
Everybody, everybody just wanna play the lead
Play the lead, play the lead
I'll write you harmony in C
Everybody, everybody just wanna fall in love
Everybody, everybody just wanna play the lead
Everybody, everybody just wanna fall in love
Everybody, everybody just wanna play the lead
I said, I'm sorry to change my mind
It was a little bit cold that night
I was dreading the ride back to little Italy
And needing to hide out from my mind
When you walk, you move like Moses
When you look, you look like Red Roses
Every day breaks bitter river, was a flood
Why do you leave me in between Siamese cities
I saw the sky in you, what do you see in me?
This rubbermaid's had better days
Shaken out, static anonymity
Vanity, don't let war die down
When you take, you turn me over
From the street, rock radio plays crimson and clover
Every day breaks, bitter river was a flood
Why do you leave me in between Siamese cities?
When you walk, you move like Moses
When you look, you look like red roses
Every day breaks, bitter river was flood
Why do you leave me?
Why you leave me?
Why you leave me in between Siamese cities?

She is shaken out static anonymity
She is shaken out static anonymity
She is shaken (temporary)
She is shaken (temporary)
She is shaken out, static anonymity
Sort of wonder why
No one said a word
Don't you like it on the sly?
Don't you like it till it hurts?
Have I been on your mind?
What's a voice without a song?
Somethin' in your head
You've been fightin' all along, well
I don't want to say it
The news is not so good
We'll never get away
And even if we could
We'd just play the tambourine
Around an open flame
Oversleep and burn
To be back in the game
'Cause summer never comes
Nowhere near high noon
And winter never comes
Nor the harvest moon
Raw sugar, I don't wanna die
Living in a high rise grave
My baby, come home
Same black day, high rise grave
Raw sugar, I don't wanna die
Living in a high rise grave
My baby, come home
Same black day, high rise grave
No, I'm not complaining
Yes, it could be worse
Ferment on the wish bone
Match the lips to the purse
Neighborhood's a runway
Fry the ass and thighs
Dirty diamond dealers
Pushed behind the aisles
And summer never comes
Nowhere near high noon
And winter never comes
Nor the harvest moon
Raw sugar, I don't wanna die
Living in a high rise grave
My baby, come home
Same black day, high rise grave
Raw sugar, I don't wanna die
Living in a high rise grave
My baby, come home
Same black day, high rise grave
Still I wear the red dress
Paint my toes and twirl
Take it back to old times
When I was still a girl
'Cause now I'm all baboon boys
Cootchie, cootchie, coo
Sort of wonder why
I missed a kiss for you
'Cause summer never comes
(Same black day, high rise grave)
Winter never comes
(High rise grave)
'Cause summer never comes
(Same black day, high rise grave)
Winter never comes
(Summer never comes)
Summer never comes
Summer never comes
(High rise grave)
Summer never comes
Can't stand by myself
Hate to sleep alone
Surprises always help
So I take somebody home
To find out how I feel
Feel like just a baby

Satisfy myself
Avoid beginners
Who long to shut my mouth
Till I take one of them home
'Cause I know how it feels

Looking on the bright side
When there is no bright side

Square in the face
Sony spacecraft
Hovering over like a third eye
Why am I hovering over myself
I'm flipping out in the magazine neighborhood
It's just like everybody said you would be greased
I should be living
Giving my mind a chance to rewind
And playback beautiful music
I should be living
Giving my mind a chance to rewind
And playback dangerous rhythms
We almost forgot
Every building is a shop
Every person is a shopper
Finally it almost seemed we
Almost forgot
Every building is a shop
Every person is a shopper
Finally
But when we started walking
I was in the nineteen fourties
Simplified the politics
Marveled at the architecture
You were off on camera
Gathering the setting sun
The red brick building tops
Finally it almost seemed authentic
As we headed further west
Into the worst, out of the best
Magazine neighborhood
We saw tall trees
And public enemies
I should be living
Giving my mind a chance to rewind
And playback beautiful music
I should be living
Giving my mind a chance to rewind
And playback dangerous rhythms
We almost forgot
Every building is a shop
Every person is a shopper
Finally it almost seemed we
Almost forgot
Every building is a shop
Every person is a shopper
Finally it almost seemed we
Moved out of the searchlight
Passed under the moonlight
Moved out of the searchlight
Open up and spend the night
We almost forgot
Every building is a shop
Every person is a shopper
Finally it almost seemed we
Almost forgot
Every building is a shop
Every person is a shopper
Finally it almost seemed we
Moved out of the searchlight
Passed under the moonlight
Moved out of the searchlight
True beautiful one
What have you gone and done
I can see all your moves are new
Tell me what did that salesman do to you
That catalogue replaced
The fine mind behind your face
No human trio can compete
When that three way mirror meets your eye
On a slow night
On a slow night
How you would walk the fashion mile
Hand me down and call it style
Your boots were scratchy black
Your hat was just a hat
The lips on you were plain
The better to a kiss sustain
On a slow night
Don't say yes if you can't say no
Victim of a system, say it isn't so
Squatted on the doorstep
Swallowed on the blow
Leaving without you, can't say no
Halfway starts with happiness for me
Halfway house, lost kitten in a street
Hit me where it hurts
I'm coming home to lose
Kitten on the catwalk, high-heeled shoes
No more hotheaded Saturdays
They got it, they want it, they give it away
Tell me one thing you would never do
I was looking for a hooker when I found you
You've got my eyes, you've got my eyes
You'll never be mine
But you got my eyes
When you lie
I cover it up
When you hide
I cover it up
When you cry
I cover it up
When you come undone
I cover it up
So open up I was coming onto you
Happy in the night-time, howling at the moon
Sipping on a cocktail, drinking in the loo
There's something about you that I hold on to
You've got my eyes, you've got my eyes
You'll never be mine
But you got my eyes
When you lie
I cover it up
When you hide
I cover it up
When you cry
I cover it up
When you blend
I cover it up
When you lie
I cover it up
When you hide
I cover it up
When you cry
I cover it up
When you come undone
I cover it up
They got it, they want it, they give it away (x4)
When you lie
I cover it up
When you hide
I cover it up
When you cry
I cover it up
When you come undone
All dressed down to catch a whiff of the buzz
Smells like the death of the last great cause
But you & I we've been through that and that is not our fate
Give my face to the back of your head
Loyal in your shadow
Yeah yeah yeah
Broken accidental stars
Do lawyers have lawyers?
Do landlords have landlords? we're wondering
One more cheap suit in the loop, more chlorine in the pool
The blonde dolls smiling behind us
Says one day you'll be just like us
All dressed up to catch a glimpse of the list
We've seen some success, it looks like a camero
Yeah yeah yeah
Broken accidental stars
Do lawyers have lawyers?
Do landlords have landlords? we're wondering
One more cheap suit in the loop, more chlorine in the pool
The blonde dolls smiling behind us
Says one day you'll be just like us
Calling from the next hotel - can you put me on the list?
Who we are now we will always be- the best haircuts are taken
Calling from the next hotel - can you put me on the list?
Who we are now we will always be- the best haircuts are taken
Calling from the next hotel - can you put me on the list?
Who we are now we will always be- the best haircuts are taken
Calling from the next hotel - can you put me on the list?
Floating the room
Two by two
From the womb
To the holiday
There is no holiday
First double-cross her heart
He wants to start a family
Needing something to go on
If she weren't writing in blood
She'd bring him her jokes
A new liver
And a shovel for the mud
If he were not knee-deep in mud
He'd bring her his drugs
He'd get her a typewriter
If this is the life
Why does it feel so good to die today?
Blue to gray
Grow up and blow away...
If this is the life
Why does it feel so good to die today?
Blue to gray
Grow up and blow away...
Nobody knows which street to take
He took the easy way
What was the easy way?
First double-cross her heart
He wants to start a family
She always thought she would not.
If she weren't writing in blood
She'd bring him her jokes
A new liver
And a shovel for the mud
If he were not knee-deep in mud
He'd bring her his drugs
He'd get her a typewriter
If this is the life
Why does it feel so good to die today?
Blue to gray
Grow up and blow away...
If this is the life
Why does it feel so good to die today?
Blue to gray
Grow up and blow away...
First double-cross her heart
He wants to start a family
Her body is the baby.
If this is the life
Why does it feel so good to die today?
Blue to gray
Grow up and blow away...
If this is the life
Why does it feel so good to die today?
Blue to gray
Grow up and blow away...
Blue to gray
Grow up and blow away...
Blue to gray
Grow up and blow away...
Blue to gray
Grow up and blow away...
Blue to gray
Get hot, get too close to the flame
Wild, open space
Talk like an open book
Sign me up
Got no time to take a picture
I'll remember someday all the chances we took
We're so close to something better left unknown
We're so close to something better left unknown
I can feel it in my bones
Gimme sympathy
After all of this is gone
Who'd you rather be?
The Beatles or the Rolling Stones?
Oh, seriously
You're gonna make mistakes, you're young
Come on, baby, play me something
Like, "Here Comes the Sun"
Come on, baby, play me something
Like, "Here Comes the Sun"
Don't go, stay with the all-unknown
Stay away from the hooks
All the chances we took
We're so close to something better left unknown
We're so close to something better left unknown
I can feel it in my bones
Gimme sympathy
After all of this is gone
Who'd you rather be?
The Beatles or the Rolling Stones?
Oh, seriously
You're gonna make mistakes, you're young
Come on, baby, play me something
Like, "Here Comes the Sun"
Gimme sympathy
After all of this is gone
Who'd you rather be?
The Beatles or the Rolling Stones?
Oh, seriously
You're gonna make mistakes, you're young
Come on, baby, play me something
Like, "Here Comes the Sun"
Come on, baby, play me something
Like, "Here Comes the Sun"
Come on, baby, play me something
Like, "Here Comes the Sun"
Come on, baby, play me something
All the lives, always tempted to trade
Will they hate me for all the choices I've made
Will they stop when they see me again?
I can't stop now I know who I am
Now I'm all yours, I'm not afraid
and you're all mine, say what they may
and all your love I'll take to a grave
and all my life starts now
Tear me down they can't take you out of my thoughts
Under every scar there’s a battle I’ve lost
Will they stop when they see us again?
I can’t stop now I know who I am
Now I’m all yours, I’m not afraid
and you're all mine, say what they may
and all your love I’ll take to a grave
and all my life starts
I’m all yours, I’m not afraid
and you're all mine, say what they may
and all your love I’ll take to a grave
Call me out
My regret
Only makes me stronger yet
Nothing I've ever done right
Happened on the safe side
It's the other way
I'm missing everyone I know now
It's too late in the day
It's too late in the day to take you on all the right
I was afraid to tell you that
Back to that photograph
Can you clone me?
I look like everyone you know now
It's too late in the day
It's too late in the day to turn me around and change my mind
It's too late in the day to take you on all the right
It's too late in the day to tell me I'm off the path
We're already in the aftermath
Call me out
My regret
Only makes me stronger yet
It's too late in the day
Too late in the day to turn me around and change my mind
It's too late in the day to take you on all the right
It's too late in the day to tell me I'm off the path
I'm sick, you're tired, let's dance
Break to love make lust I know it isn't
I'm sick, you're tired, let's dance
Cold as numbers but let's dance
As though it were easy for you to lead me
I could be passive gracefully
Half the horizon's gone for a skyline of numbers
Half the horizon's gone we're working the numbers
'till I'm sick
Sleep don't pacify us until
Daybreak sky lights up the grid we live in
Dizzy when we talk so fast
Fields of numbers streaming past
I wish we were farmers, I wish we knew how
To grow sweet potatoes and milk cows
I wish we were lovers, but its for the best
Tonight your ghost will ask my ghost,
Where is the love?
Tonight your ghost will ask my ghost,
Who here is in line for a raise?
Tonight your ghost will ask my ghost,
Where is the love?
Tonight your ghost will ask my ghost,
Noises / within / metric
Synchronised/ clicks / weird
Movements / for / weird
/ Movers
Crashing waves upon crashing brains
This brings you closer to me
This makes us complete
