No way Pedro, no way Jose
I just wanna know, are you goin' my way?
Oh, I saw you standin' by the borderline
You can never make up your mind
No way Cisco, no way Pancho
Why don't you meet me, back at the rancho?
Well, if you get there, please don't be late
How can I get you now, if I hesitate?
No way Kemosabe, no way Tonto
Come here quick, ya gotta make it pronto
Well, when you head them, off at the pass
Baby, I just want a love to last
No way Pedro, no way Jose
Just wanna know, are you goin' my way?
Oh, I saw you standin', by the borderline
I just want you to make up, your goddamned mind
Wander in your wilderness
Close enough, take a breath
Closer still, touch your skin
Open up (open up)
Let me in.
Don't you know you're
Taking me down
You're making me high
My life's turned around
Now save me tonight
No Better Love
Than when we make it
To get up and taste it
Intoxication, this elation
Oooh... there's no better love
Follow up my fantasies
So nice, meant to be
Nicer still, what's to come
Take a ride (take a ride)
Come undone
Don't you know you're
Taking me down
You're making me high
My life's turned around
Now save me tonight
No Better Love
Than when we make it
To get up and taste it
Intoxication, this elation
Oooh... there's no better love
No Better Love
Than when we make it
To get up and taste it
Intoxication, this elation
Oooh... there's no better love
Don't you know you're
Taking me down
You're making me high
My life's turned around
Now save me tonight
Don't you know you're...
No Better Love
Than when we make it
To get up and taste it
Intoxication, this elation
Oooh... there's no better love
No Better Love
No Better Love
Than when we make it
To get up and taste it
Intoxication, this elation
Oooh... there's no better love
No Better Love (to fade)

[Original - Icelandic]
heftur með gaddavír í kjaftinum sem blæðir mig
læstur er lokaður inn í búri
dýr nakinn ber á mig
og bankar upp á frelsari
ótaminn setur í ný batterí
og hleður á ný
og hleður á ný
og hleður á ný
og hleður á ný
við tætum tryllt af stað
út í óvissuna þar
til að við rústum öllu og reisum aftur
aftur á ný
aftur á ný
aftur á ný
aftur á bak þar sem við ríðum
aftur með gaddavír
sem rífur upp gamalt gróið sár
er orðinn ryðguð sál
rafmagnið búið
mig langar að skera
og rista sjálfan mig á hol
en þori það ekki
frekar slekk ég á mér
aleinn á ný
[English Translation]
Barbed wire staples Into my mouth that bleed me
Locked in a cage
Naked animals beat me
And the Savior knocks
not trained places in new batteries
And the charges return
And the charges return
And the charges return
And the charges return
We set off
Into the unknown
Until then we destroy everything and build
Once again
Once again
Once again
Once again back where we once were
Again staples
Into my mouth, which rips up old wounds once healed
I have become a rusty soul
The electricity is gone
I want to cut
And slice myself to death
But I don't have the courage
I'd rather turn myself off
Five a.m.
Well I ride my bike
Down your street
Oh, in the cold and light
My head's feelin' dizzy
But it suits the shape I'm in
Well I made a proposition but I'm always givin' in
And I'm lookin' in your face
And I'm searchin' for a reason
For the things I should have said
To you last night
And if you could find
You need my help
But you wrote this play
And you know it well
And if you could find
You need my help
But you know me better
Than I know myself anyway
Six a.m.
Well I look like hell
Then I spout the lines
Oh, that you know too well
My head's feelin' dizzy
But it suits the shape I'm in
I made a proposition
But I'm always givin' in
But I'm lookin' in your face
And I'm searchin' for a reason
For the things I should have said
To you last night
And if you could find
You need my help
But you wrote this play
And you know it well
And if you could find
You need my help
But you know me better
Than I know myself anyway
Eight a.m.
Well I hit the floor
And I climb the stairs
Straight to your door
My head's feelin' dizzy
But it suits the shape I'm in
And I made a proposition
'cause I'm always givin' in
Well I'm lookin' in your face
And I'm searching for a reason
For the things I should have said
To you last night
And if you could find
You need my help
But you wrote this play
And you know it well
And if you could find
You need my help
Girl you know me better
Than I know myself anyway
Oh....
Know myself anyway
Let me tell you about a four-walled, sleazy, sunk speak-easy
Low below the thieves and streets
Welcoming you into a four floor descent
Where even good boys need rent
Toothpaste for their yellow teeth
Because the days pass quickly, high above me
It's night forever where I dry
And the bar's too busy to get you dizzy
And everybody talks in cries
Because they know no better
When the weather never strikes a conversation here
We're down in Satan's cellar, Satan's cellar
Where they hold the wickedest so dear
Are you scared of what these four walls could say?
If they could speak, would they?
Blow for blow, they'll sell you out
In an Italian accent, laced with intent
Patience is the virtue now
Because the days pass quickly high above me
I'm doomed forever where I sit
And the barmaid's quiz me, please forgive me
For slurring all my alibis, for slurring all my alibis
Because they know no better
When the weather, never strikes a conversation here
We're down in Satan's cellar, Satan's cellar
Where they hold the wickedest so dear
Where they honour and they drink and they fear
Dear, they're not looking for your sympathy here
Where they drink just to drown what's inside
Dear, they swear the destination's the ride
Because they know no better
When the weather never strikes a conversation here
We're down in Satan's cellar, Satan's cellar
Where they hold the wickedest so dear
You know the fortune teller
Reaks of leather - he stole your wallet, now he knows your name
Yeah, he's a future seller: not too clever
I could've seen it all coming I guess
I'm sleeping out on the couch
You in your half of the bed
And every detail will swim in my mind
The tap of his shoes
The clock clicking the time, oh oh
The tile is cold and the bathroom sink
Will split the days of the week between your father and me
The words burn clmbing up my throat
Craving some better place to go
So this is how every family is
You'll make some dinner then you'll stay with a friend
A black cloud hangs over our house
You're no better, I know you're no better than this
So give up and let it rain down
You're no better, I know you're no better than this
I'm so tired I can hardly make a fist
The whole room is a thirst without a fix
A black cloud hangs over our house
You're no better, I know you're no better than this
So give up and let it rain down
You're no better, I know you're no better
And all your failed attempts are hanging over the edge of your father's fence
And oh, you give up so we can fall down
You're no better, you know you're no better than him
And all of your failed attempts are hanging over the edge of your father's fence
And oh, you give up so we can fall down
No better car than mine
No better house than mine
No better boat than mine
No better life than mine
Money is a god.
If you can't afford,
You're nothing to me.
You are what you own.
Your material life sucks.
You will be buried with your wealth,
"There's no poetry between us"
Said the paper to the pen
Something's burning in the attic
That her tongue will not defend
Through the arc of conversation
Past the teeth behind the smile
Down the miracle mile
To the bottom of the ladder
Paint your eyes and hide the tatters
What's the matter baby?
Could we go downtown
To the middle of the world?
You were always such a pretty girl
And you told me I was beautiful
"There's no poetry between us"
Said the paper to the pen
"And I get nothing for my trouble
But the ink beneath my skin"
If your clothes are getting weary
And your soul's gone out of style
Blame the miracle mile
And the bottom of the ladder
Paint your eyes and hide the tatters
What's the matter baby?
I must admit I was crazy
Must have been love drunk
Intoxicated with your love
But now I look around
Things just ain't the same to me
And I see it now
That you were not for me, yeah
I didn't have to do it
But I put all my heart in it
You said you loved me when you didn't
And you did it a-again, did it a-again
I didn't have to do it
But I put all my heart in it
Said you loved me when you didn't
And you did it a-again, did it a-again
After all that we been through
You still wanna let me down
I keep givin' it to you
You think I know by now
You would think I know better, better
Just by the way that you get down
You threw my heart like whatever
You would think I know by now
See the lies
See the tears that fall from my eyes
Wouldn't you think? Wouldn't you think?
First time around
I end up doing
You would tell a lie
And I could not see through it
But I look around
And you just ain't the same to me
And I see it now
That you're not the one for me, yeah, yeah
I didn't have to do it
But I put all my heart in it
You said you loved me when you didn't
And you did it a-again, did it a-again
I didn't have to do it
But I put all my heart in it
Said you loved me when you didn't
And you did it a-again, did it a-again
After all that we been through
You still wanna let me down
I keep givin' it to you
You think I know by now
You would think I know better, better
Just by the way that you get down
You threw my heart like whatever
You would think I know by now
You would think that I would get it
You would think I understand
But your lies keep me confused
Why'd you get another hint?
But don't worry I ain't stayin'
This is your game and I ain't playin'
'Cause I know
You don't really care for me
See the lies
See the tears that fall from my eyes
Wouldn't you think? Wouldn't you think?
You'd think I know by now
After all that we been through
You still wanna let me down
I keep givin' it to you
You think I know by now
You would think I know better, better
Just by the way that you get down
You threw my heart like whatever
You would think I know by now
After all that we been through
You still wanna let me down
I keep givin' it to you
You think I know by now
You would think I know better, better
Just by the way that you get down
You threw my heart like whatever
You would think I know by now
See the lies
See the tears that fall from my eyes
If you could shake back a thousand tears
And you could take back the crosses in your fingers
You would know no better, know better, better that we
We were meant to be together
Spinning freely you could collide
And mercifully, and only, settle
And the gift of union cross breath, and this love, and this life
You could stay now we were meant to be together
'Cause I still see your face
I still wear that ring
And I will not lie
It's the hardest thing
I still love you, and you don't want me
You don't want me, you don't want me
Bless me father for I am not myself
Kiss me, my love, the right way
'Cause you're all that glitters, glitters, glitters, except my shame
We were meant to be together
'Cause I still see your face
I still hold that flower
And I will not lie
In that hopeless hour
I still love you
We were meant to be together
Meant to be together
[Incomprehensible]
Hey, hey, hey, no better
Hey, hey, hey, no better
Hey, hey, hey, no better
Hey, hey, hey, no better
Hey, hey, hey, no better
simply understanding
you see me when no
one's around
frustration shows my ptience
it seems I'll never get
this right
to get to know you better
to love you more than myself
to give you everything
all of me, all of me
I am human
I borrown this excuse for
my pride
inconsistent independent
it seems I'll never make
this right
waiting for a sign to fall
into my lap from the sky
pockets full of time
it seems I've waited
If you could shake back a thousand tears
And you could take back the crosses in your fingers
You would know no better, know better, better that we
We were meant to be together
Spinning freely you could collide
And mercifully, and only, settle
And the gift of union cross breath, and this love, and this life
You could stay now we were meant to be together
'Cause I still see your face
I still wear that ring
And I will not lie

You don't want me, you don't want me
