Why don't you believe me when I say that I love you?
'Cause I'm crazy 'bout you
Wear the face that tells me you think my loving ain't true
I'm all about you
You're my desirer higher, higher everytime I speak your name
That's all I do (that's all I do, that's all I do, that's all I
And the way that I can't sleep at night just proves what I go
through
I'm crazy 'bout you
Now the first time that I saw you walking down the street so
pretty
Gone with your bad self
Now you say that I don't love you When it's giving my love pains
It's the hurt and the tension
Girl, it's driving me insane
Chorus
You are my, you are my
You are my lovely one
You are my, you are my
You are my lovely one
You are my, you are my
You are my lovely one
You are my, you are my
You are my lovely one!
Why don't you believe me, When I say that I am true?
I'm crazy 'bout you
I'm here to love and please you, I'll do what you want me to
I'm all about you
Living and hoping, but I'm coping
With these things you put me through
That's all I do
The way that I can't sleep at night
Just proves what I go through
I crazy 'bout you
Now the first time that I saw you walking down the street so
pretty
Gone with your bad self
Now you say that I don't love, When it's giving my love pains
It's the hurt and the tension
Well, I'm not superstitious
But there's something going on inside
Could be friendly, could be vicious
And there isn't any place to hide
It's my imagination, a blessing or a curse
No, I can't ignore it for better or for worse
It wakes me when I'm sleeping
A thief that takes my breath away
And I find myself reaching for a lifeline
Throw me a lifeline and bring me back in time
I need a lifeline, throw me a lifeline
I'm going down for the last time
Sometimes, I can't control it
Sometimes, it isn't there at all
Sometimes, I try to roll it
And wind up staring at the wall
My imagination, I love the games it plays
I get in so deep that I get lost for days and days
It sometimes leaves me shakin'
Standin' in the dark alone
And I find myself reaching for a lifeline
Throw me a lifeline and bring me back in time
I need a lifeline, throw me a lifeline
I'm going down for the last time
Can't you see that I am reaching?
And I find myself reaching for a lifeline
Throw me a lifeline and bring me back, back in time
I need a lifeline, throw me a lifeline
I'm going down for the last time
I need a lifeline, throw me a lifeline
I'm going down, down, down, down, down for the last time
Lifeline, going down for the last time
Why don't you believe me when I say that I love you?
I'm crazy 'bout you
Wear the face that tells me you think my loving ain't true
I'm all about you
You're my desire
I get higher everytime I speak your name
All I do (that's all I do, that's all I do, that's all I do)
The way that I can't sleep at night just proves what I go through
I'm crazy 'bout you
Now the first time that I saw you walking down the street so pretty
Gone with your bad self
Now you say that I don't love you
When it's giving my love pains
It's the hurt and the tension
Girl, it's driving me insane
You are my, you are my
You are my lovely one
You are my, you are my
You are my lovely one
You are my, you are my
You are my lovely one
You are my, you are my
You are my lovely one!
Why don't you believe me when I say that I am true?
I'm crazy 'bout you
I'm here to love and please you
I'll do what you want me to
I'm all about you
Living and hoping, but I'm coping
With these things you put me through
All I do (that's all I do, that's all I do, that's all I do)
The way that I can't sleep at night
Just proves what I go through
I'm crazy 'bout you
Now the first time that I saw you walking down the street so pretty
Gone with your bad self
Now you say that I don't love you
When it's giving my love pains
It's the hurt and the tension
Girl, it's driving me insane
You are my, you are my
You are my lovely one
You are my, you are my
You are my lovely one
You are my, you are my
You are my lovely one
You are my, you are my
I was in some timeless space
Timeless face of my embrace
Held empty air and empty space
All on a sunny day
She lived by the bounding main
To Baltimore I took a plane
An east coast lady lit my flame
All on a sunny day
I was in some dreamless sleep
Where angels watch as lovers leap
Some of them landed on their feet
Letting the lifeline stray
She was like the breath of spring
Where flowers grow and robins sing
Keeping me from the pouring rain
All on a summer's day
There's a lifeline that I know
And it holds me back, and lets me go
Whatever I do
I don't let my lifeline stray
So it goes as lifetimes pass
From heart to mind and back again
My restlessness becomes a flame
Letting my lifeline show
She stood by the boundless tide
Afraid to ride, afraid to hide
Letting her conscience be her guide
Needing a lifeline so
I was in some aimless state
Where lovers meet while angels wait
With gifts of time they hesitate
All on a sunny day
She lived by the bounding main
From Baltimore I took a train
An east coast lady lit my flame
All on a summer's day
There's a lifeline in my soul
And it holds me back and lets me go
I'm in love so I've been told
Letting the lifeline stay
I've got a heart line in the air
And if you listen for me you'll find me there
Whatever I do
Life is much too short to sit and wonder
Who's gonna make the next move and will slowly pull you under when you've always got something
to prove?
I don't want to wait a lifetime
Yours or mine, yours or mine
Can't you see me reaching for the lifeline?
You say that I misheard you but I think you misspoke
I hear you laugh so loudly while I patiently await the joke
I don't want to wait a lifetime
Yours or mine, yours or mine
Can't you see me reaching for the lifeline?
The lifeline, the lifeline
It's a crime with only victims
We're all laid out in a row
It's hardest to listen to what we already should know
I could hold out for a lifetime
Yours or mine, yours or mine
Can't you see me reaching for your lifeline?
Ten thousand miles away from someone
Ten thousand miles away from you
Who's your friend on the end of a telephone line
A telephone line's like a life line
You run me cool you run me hot love
You take me where I wanna be
Ship to shore, air to land
Seems it's always the same
I always end up with a lame brain
Dont' got talkin' in your sleep no
Don't go givin' it all away
Don't go walkin' in your sleep no
Don't go givin' it all away
Dont' got talkin' in your sleep no
Don't go givin' it all away
Don't go walkin' in your sleep no
You're ten thousand miles away
Livin' it up in the paradise
Don't make it right, don't make it wrong
When you know you've got a friend
who's at the other end
And a telephone line's like a life line
But a walk on the wire
It don't put out no fire
A telephone line's like a life line
Dont' got talkin' in your sleep no
Don't go givin' it all away
Don't go walkin' in your sleep no
Don't go givin' it all away
Dont' got talkin' in your sleep no
Don't go givin' it all away
Don't go walkin' in your sleep no
You're ten thousand miles away
When you wake you'll find me sleepin'
The clock don't stop when you're not here
But you know you've got a friend
Who's at the other end
And a telephone line's like a life line
A telephone line is a life line
It's been a long road, but we got here
It wasn't easy, but it was true
We found out through all the bad times
It all comes down to me and you
We held the greatest expectations
Only to find it was not to be
All the dreams we left behind us
Only serve to set us free
We don't need no bag of silver
We don't need no fields of gold
Don't it make you high
Make you want to fly
Knowing we can live on love alone?
We made our break straight out of high school
You went your way and I went mine
Everything that we went looking for
Was here inside uss all the time
We have shared every tear
Through the years
For all the laughter and the pain
Like a fighter that lost his will to kill
You knew it was time to go,
But as I lay in a state of surrender
You chose me to say your last hello.
Like a fighter that lost his will to kill
You knew it was time to go.
You came upon me
As I lay in a state of surrender.
You say you're not afraid
You know me well.
Because I felt you die
Why did you say you would touch me?
The wind blew sugar-sweet
- I Gotta Leave...Leave You Alone
- Wish I could.....
I gotta leave the hood alone eventually right? (I don't know)
Leave the hood, I would but it got Cam twisted (twisted)
When Mikey gon' get that butter or them damn biscuits?!
Mother still getting high, she so damn gifted
Like she got no legs though...she can't kick it (nope)
We can't kick it, my man dig it, I Van Wick it
Wicked wiggle, the man wicked, rap was Cam's ticket (that's what I thought)
But it backfired, air in the back tires
Get ready for crack buyers, rap liars and trap wires
Thinking I'm awry, we thinking I'm raunchy
Watch "Menace II Society"...think about Chauncey (shhh, think about that)
The snitch factor, now it's a big factor
Shit, life's a bitch watch ya shit for you pitch after
Get dadda, Michelle home from school, her man Rich slapped her
Kitch scratched her, shot in the air...yeah kids scattered
Cause she joined a fraternity...the bitch "Kappa"
He ain't like it, kidnapped her
In the hood, bitch cracker
Now Rich not....she could of met a rich cracker
She get high, worked at McDees, they big mac'ed her
They'll train the fighters, Titus gained Arthritis
Cops they train the buyers, we the cleanest can't indict us (nope)
He beat them cases up like Mike Tyson '86
That's why it's like I got a license for these 80 bricks
Crib, tried to raid the shit
Agents on some hater shit
60k to rob the kid, them cases never made 'em stick
I can promise this, you dealing with a Communist
That'll pull the trigger on any nigga who bomb a bitch
My accomplices...they remain annonymous
And they gon stay there, I swear....I'm what honest is
Honestly you thought I quit like Tom Donnovich
Conglomerate, treat you like Ramadan...honor it (y'all wont eat!)
Y'all won't eat, I'm unloading a lobster & pasta
Y'all imposters, imposing my posture....I gotcha
Mobsters with choppers, enough "dado" (that's chips)
Chicks...duct tape em, turn 'em over....butt rape 'em
Grams...cut, shave em, Cam hair....cut, shave it
But bust on her ??, like a ??....Wes Craven
That's the hustle...I'm old school, you must page 'em
Whatever love hate em, won't do...touch, play em...
Degrade em? talk slick...fuck it your all sick
Lay you in dog shit, look over you...hork spit
Beef on Bobby block, right where his homeys walk
Homey we make bodies drop..then skate like Tony Hawk
Over short paper, play a O for very long
"Fourth of July"...M80's, cherry bombs (what's that?_
They'll disguise the slugs
Sent his friends for them ends, they had 'em like the Benz......his eyes was bugged
Watch the don poke you
When she calls my name
Nobody says it quite the same
Gives me a feeling I never knew
Makes me so happy loving her.
Love and love alone
I'd wait a life just to have it here.
Love is all I know and that can't be wrong.
It's sometimes hard to see
Love isn't bought well it's got to be
There for a reason you want to share
To show somebody you care.
Love and love alone
Conquers the world that can be so cold.
Love is how we show just what we feel.
It's enough for me can't say I need anything else.
Love is here to be had by us all
Don't cheat yourself.
I can say it now
Someday we'll all be there somehow
Everyone singing, love leads the way
'til then I'm counting every day.
Love and love alone
I'd wait a life just to have it here.
Why don't you believe me when I say that I love you?
'Cause I'm crazy 'bout you
Wear the face that tells me you think my loving ain't true
I'm all about you
You're my desirer higher, higher everytime I speak your name
That's all I do (that's all I do, that's all I do, that's all I do)
And the way that I can't sleep at night just proves what I go through
I'm crazy 'bout you
Now the first time that I saw you walking down the street so pretty
Gone with your bad self
Now you say that I don't love you When it's giving my love pains
It's the hurt and the tension
Girl, it's driving me insane
Chorus
You are my, you are my
You are my lovely one
You are my, you are my
You are my lovely one
You are my, you are my
You are my lovely one
You are my, you are my
You are my lovely one!
Why don't you believe me, When I say that I am true?
I'm crazy 'bout you
I'm here to love and please you, I'll do what you want me to
I'm all about you
Living and hoping, but I'm coping
With these things you put me through
That's all I do
The way that I can't sleep at night
Just proves what I go through
I crazy 'bout you
Now the first time that I saw you walking down the street so pretty
Gone with your bad self
Now you say that I don't love, When it's giving my love pains
It's the hurt and the tension
Girl, it's driving me insane
Chorus
I'm running out of time this time
This time I can't be late
I've got to find my destiny
Before it turns to fate
I feel so insecure, I feel so all alone
I need something, some possession of my own
I reach for what I want
I see it in my sleep
It's hard to get a hold of it
And it's twice as hard to keep
Someone help me lifeline
I grab the rope in front of me
It keeps slipping through my hands
I try to climb with all of my strength
But it trickles through like sand
This feeling's too secure, it's like a ball and chain
Yeah, I know there's something dragging in my brain
Now another rope appears
I've got it snug and tight
This is one that I can't let go of
No matter how I fight
Hear the call of the wind
Feel the dying answer
Steel on the mind
Cold in the veins
Torture and trial
Sunrise over the limits
Conquest and fire
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive on a lifeline
I'm alive
I'm alive
Spirits provide
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive on a lifeline
Come to the mountain and climb
You cry in the wilds
Hope on the ledges
Your heart's in the stars
Night's in your eyes
The rockface inclines
hold her, leave her
Rise to glory
Over mankind
(Chorus)
When I was a boy I didn't care 'bout a thing
It was me and this world and a broken dream
I was blaming myself for all that was going wrong
I was way out there on the wrong side of town
And the ones that I loved I started pushing 'em out
Then I realized that it was all my fault
I've been looking for a lifeline
For what seems like a lifetime
I'm drowning in the pain, breaking down again
Looking for a lifeline
So I put out my hand and I asked for some help
We tore down the walls I built around myself
I was struck by the light and I fell to the ground
I've been looking for a lifeline
For what seems like a lifetime
I'm drowning in the pain, breaking down again
Looking for a lifeline
Is there anybody out there?
Can you pull me from this ocean of despair?
I'm drowning in the pain, breaking down again
Looking for a lifeline
You know a heart of gold won't take you all the way
And in a world so cold it's hard to keep the faith
I'm never gonna fade away, yeah
I've been looking for a lifeline
For what seems like a lifetime
I'm drowning in the pain, breaking down again
Looking for a lifeline
Is there anybody out there?
Can you pull me from this ocean of despair?
I'm drowning in the pain, breaking down again
Looking for a lifeline
Rolling
Down the sunny avenues
Well... all this running around
I'm back on the road with you
again baby
Free ride
I haven't got a care in the world
There's only me and you girl
Back on the road with you again baby
Sweet life we're holding onto this life
And all because you've saved me
Zero to hero that's what you made me
Lady, you know that she excites me
But her mama never liked me
I'm back on the road with you
again baby
Don't pick no hole in my soul
Don't you spoil my sweet charade
I get high on the girl
For me she was clearly made
And don't get mixed up about it
'Cos she won't leave me at sea
I get a groove with the girl
She got a lifeline out to me
Deadlines...
We won't be needing any of those
no more
It seems like the right time
To be back on the road with you
again baby
I feel like...
I'll never feel the cold now
I'll never be alone now
'Cos I'm back on the road with
you again
Don't pick no hole in my soul
Don't you spoil my sweet charade
I get high on the girl
For me she was clearly made
I don't need no destination
'Cos my baby's saving me
She got the lifeline of love
she got it all thrown out to me
Don't lose me now
'Cos I need you baby, need
you baby
We gotta get up
Run away baby
We gotta get on
Run away baby
You know your mama never
liked me
She said we gonna break up
Said it's gonna never work
But it's too bad baby
We're back on the road again
And now we're moving
Running to the sunset
(back on the road again)
Just me and you together
(back on the road again)
I got a groove on the girl
(back on the road again)
Her mama didn't like me
Don't pick no hole in my soul
Don't you spoil my sweet charade
I get high on the girl yeh
For me she was clearly made
And don't get mixed up about it
'Cos she won't leave me at sea
I get a groove with the girl
She got a lifeline out to me
Just got my feel good factor
And it's gone right through the roof
I get the blues with the news
Girl let's get it on the hoof
Throw me a lifeline
Throw me a lifeline
A lifeline of love yeh
Throw me a lifeline
Throw me a lifeline
A lifeline of love yeh
Oh I need your lifeline of love
Get it out to me
Well I need her
Don't lose me now
Don't lose me now
I got your lifeline all thrown out to me
Oh I've got your lifeline
Maker of the sun and shade
The plans were made before the morning
At a time when no one knew
He left a clue and sent us a lifeline... It's fine
Then along came a man like me
With everything laid out before him
Then it all came crashing down
A man can drown from thoughts in his own mind
Like something deep inside my soul
Was sinking fast; I was the hole
When I was almost out of time
He gave me a lifeline right down to my soul
He gave me a lifeline that I might grab a hold
Suffering was nothing new
My days were few without a let down
Something down there deep inside
Dissatisfied with everything I'd find
And in the clouds he sent the sky
Into a desert running dry
He sent a river full of life
He gave me a lifeline right down to my soul
He gave me a lifeline that I might grab a hold
He gave me a lifeline when I was cast away
He gave me a lifeline right up from the grave
He sent me a lifeline when I was on my own
Far from the borders he came brought me home
He sent me a lifeline when I was down the hole
My world was like an ocean raging out of control
Send me a lifeline
Send me a lifeline
Once upon another time
He made my mind a different color
Painted on my destiny away between
The black and lonely sky... Let's fly!
He gave me a lifeline right down to my soul
He gave me a lifeline that I might grab a hold
He gave me a lifeline when I was cast away
He gave me a lifeline and I'm alive today
He gave me a lifeline
He gave me a lifeline and I'm alive today
He gave me a lifeline

My friend's addicted to cocaine
smokes day and night
drives mom and pop insane.
Living his life in the dark light
every dollar he gets goes into the pipe.
He wants to borrow some money from me
do you think I'm blind
don't know the score
can't see?
You wanna get high as the sky
(You're kissin' your life goodbye) You're kissin' your life goodbye
(You think it's a game) You think it's a game that you play
(But the winners lose) But the winners lose it all someday.
Ya don't know who you are
are you losin' your mind?
Things get a little tight he committed a crime.
Give me your money or give me your life!
You better empty your pockets because ya,
ya don't live twice.
You wanna get high as the sky
(You're kissin' your life goodbye) You're kissin' your life goodbye
(You think it's a game) You think it's a game that you play
(But the winners lose) But the winners lose it all someday.
He took the money to the dope man
and he said he had the best
next thing ya knew, cardiac arrest!
It was a rollercoaster, he couldn't get off
next thing I knew my friends' life was lost. Nooooooooo.
You think it's a game, you think it's a game,
You think it's a game, you think it's a game,
You think it's a game, you think it's a game,
You think it's a game, you think it's a game,
You think it's a game, you think it's a game,
You think it's a game, you think it's a game,
You think it's a game, you think it's a game,
You think it's a game, you think it's a game,
You think it's a game, you think it's a game,
You think it's a game, you think it's a game,
You think it's a game, you think it's a game,
You think it's a game, you think it's a game,
You wanna get high as the sky
(You're kissin' your life goodbye) You're kissin' your life goodbye
(You think it's a game) You think it's a game that you play

I'm running out of time this time

This feeling's too secure, it's like a ball and chain
Yeah, I know there's something dragging in my brain
Now another rope appears
I've got it snug and tight
This is one that I can't let go of
Follow the lifeline I labelled so neat
Through every lifetime from scars that run deep
Follow the love tracks unrivalled unmatched
Book me the right train I'd love to nip back
Set up high above the Pyrenees
Set up high on the road of release
My brain, my arms, my chain, my charms
My aims, my itch, my foes, I've licked
My bed of flame my name
Spread myself round again
Spilled out my guts again
Think I might lay down again
Stitch me up I'm torn again
Follow the pipeline I layed it so deep
It flows out my window it flows out to sea
It curls round the mountain it takes up the slack
Book me the right plane I long to nip back
Set up high above the Pyrenees
Set up high on the road of relief
My lies, my lust, my truth, my trust
My league, my school, my game, my rules,
My bed I've made, my grave
Spread myself round again
Spilled out my guts again
Think I might lay down again
Stitch me up I'm torn again
My eyes, my hips, my face, my lips
Are failing me
Combined with mixed up living
My victory is escaping me
La La La
Cast upon the wind
When it shifted i drifted
without a star to steer by
Fowl weather took me by suprise
I felt the sea begin to rise..
You are my lifeline
When love ripped all my sails with rain,
You saved me from this hurricane,
You are my lifeline
now im sailing toward the island of your love..
Sailing t'ward the island, sailing t'ward the island
sailing t'ward the island of your love (x2)
Hurled upon the reef
No lighthouse, no goodnight house
Upon my broken ship
I found no shelter anywhere
Until i saw your .....
You are my lifeline
When love ripped all my sails with rain,
You saved me from this hurricane,
You are my lifeline
now im sailing toward the island of your love..
Sailing t'ward the island, sailing t'ward the island
See this lifeline in chains
Safe resistance restrains
Listless lover of stars
Makes me wonder how far, you've come
All you've learnt
You've forgotten
You desperate soul
You're lost again
Can't help feeling betrayed
Nothing's come from the grave
Helpless angel of fate
How much longer to wait?
All you've learnt
You've forgotten
You desperate soul
You're lost again
Don't you see, all this time?
Takes away, takes the place up, up above?
Can't you see light here, and it's shining?
Look around, I'll be waiting love
Crushed by lies in the dark
Helped them tear you apart
Listless lover of stars
It makes me wonder how far, you've come
All you've learnt
You've forgotten
You desperate soul
You're lost again
Don't you see all this time
Takes away, takes the place, up, up above?
Can't you see light here, and it's shining?
Look around I'll be waiting love
Don't you see all this time
Takes away, takes the place, up, up above?
Can't you see light here, and it's shining?
Down to the bottom
Hello, is there anybody else here?
It's cold and I'm so lonely
Hello, is there anybody else here?
Hello, won't you throw me down a Life Line?
I'm so afraid of darkness
And down here, it's just like night time
Oohs, are all around me
Hello, will you please send down a Life Line?
Down and there isn't any hope for me
Unless this dream which seems so real
One silver streak, and darkness is cut
When lines populate the earth
A clew of chaos, of brand-new souls but
soaked in pleasures and dirt
As the spinning wheel of life decides each fate
And leads life lines to its spools
Where they are beginning to have their downfall created
I am making my own magic tools
The start of the bigger web, the tapestry of life
A world full of kings, beggars, knights and fools
Catching a glimpse of a made up world
It ignites a spark in a heart gone cold
Breaking the thin line wire of an off worldly stare
That was spun, weaved and unravelled, every soul dealt fair
As the spinning wheel of life decides each fate
And all lifelines have left the spools
Then it is spinning, to have new life created
With my own set of magic tools
I am making another web, a tapestry of death
A world full of kings, beggars, knights and fools
Seeing the result, the bigger whole,
The spark dies again, the heart turns cold
unravelling the world of dreams, revealing the reality it stole
I cut the line
We're breaking through and now I'm here
You'd better listen to things and show no tears
On the line, awake to see
Again you've got to capture me to set me free
All the laughter in my brain
All the memories drive me insane
Time to change my thoughts for you
I feel your breath but what can I do?
I stared you right between the eyes
And put your life on the line
I stared you right between the eyes
And lay your body next to mine
Through temptations all around
I make the tears come out of you and let them drop down
You're the victim to stir my pride
I'll try again to find a passage out before I lose my mind
That's all I'll do, that's all you need
Unfinished business, I'll make it complete
You can't take it, it's so unreal
What you deserve and how I feel
I stared you right between the eyes
And put your life on the line
I stared you right between the eyes
And lay your body next to mine
Your desperate tears you cried in vain
Don't fool my friends it's treated all the same
That's what I do, that's what you need
Unfinished business, now made it complete
I stared you right between the eyes
And put your life on the line
I stared you right between the eyes
Get out of Hollywood
Drive into the hills
Rolldown the top
And just throw away your pills
You'll never forget her
So why do you even try?
Things'll get easier
As the days go creeping by
Broke my heart
Saw it coming from the start
I really hate to see the shape i'm in
Broke all the rules
And you know life can be cruel
But i think it's time i learned to swim
Show me
There still can be some mystery
I haven't found
Throw me
A lifeline to the lost at sea
Don't let me drown
And if i had my way
Tell you what i'd do
Drive down to the lake
Before the sky gets blue
Fill up my bottle
With water from the spring
Because i read somewhere that it cures everything
Broke my heart
Saw it coming from the start
I really hate to see the shape i'm in
Broke all the rules
And you know life can be cruel
But i think it's time i learned to swim
Show me
There still can be some mystery
I haven't found
Throw me
A lifeline to the lost at sea
Don't let me drown
Broke my heart
Saw it coming from the start
I really hate to see the shape i'm in
Broke all the rules
And you know life can be cruel
But i think it's time i learned to swim
Show me
There still can be some mystery
I haven't found
Throw me
A lifeline to the lost at sea
Don't let me drown
Show me
A way out of this misery
I haven't found
Throw me
A lifeline to the lost at sea
Don't let me drown
Don't let me drown
Don't let me drown
Follow the lifeline I labelled so neat
Through every lifetime from scars that run deep
Follow the love tracks unrivalled unmatched
Book me the right train I'd love to nip back
Set up high above the Pyrenees
Set up high on the road of release
My brain, my arms, my chain, my charms
My aims, my itch, my foes, I've licked
My bed of flame my name
Spread myself round again
Spilled out my guts again
Think I might lay down again
Stitch me up I'm torn again
Follow the pipeline I layed it so deep
It flows out my window it flows out to sea
It curls round the mountain it takes up the slack
Book me the right plane I long to nip back
Set up high above the Pyrenees
Set up high on the road of relief
My lies, my lust, my truth, my trust
My league, my school, my game, my rules,
My bed I've made, my grave
Spread myself round again
Spilled out my guts again
Think I might lay down again
Stitch me up I'm torn again
My eyes, my hips, my face, my lips
Are failing me
Combined with mixed up living
My victory is escaping me
La La La
The lifeline slips away
you live so far away from me,
fate brought you into my world,
and then one night
your eyes were burning through my soul,
now i can't go home anymore...
that night you lay there beside me,
you whispered softly in my ear,
you said that you would always love and wait for me,
now i can't go home anymore...
send me a lifeline,
send me a lifeline,
send me a lifeline,
send me a lifeline...
in this life we will never find
another love like yours and mine
is there a way that i can show you how i feel?
words aren't on enough anymore...
send me a lifeline,
send me a lifeline,
send me a lifeline,
send me a lifeline...
remember talking on the phone?
you were half a world away...
you promised we would marry,
and i would be your bride.
please don't go back on your word...
send me a lifeline,
send me a lifeline,
send me a lifeline,
Changing her colors she's off to the shore
She rides the soul train and he fight the law
There's a power in his voice and it makes her feel so sure
So live and let live in love
One day he'll build a statue with his hands
So gentle when he tries to understand
This subterfuge he never really planned now you're living
In the lifeline we're moving
In the lifeline we're walking
In the lifeline we're throwing
So live and let live in love
Exchanging their letters their exits begun
With deathless precision he's aiming his gun
A democracy of sorts that justifies the sun
So live and let live in love
Neither has the ghost of a chance
Those decisions only can be made once
You never really know just what you're giving till you're living
In the lifeline we're moving
In the lifeline we're walking
In the lifeline we're throwing
So live and let live in love
He could have built a statue with his hands
So gentle when he tries to understand
You never really know just what you're giving now you're living
In the lifeline we're moving
In the lifeline we're walking
In the lifeline we're throwing to you
But I'm not living
(So live and let live in love)
Lifeline
In the lifeline
In the lifeline
(So live and let live in love)
Lifeline
In the lifeline
In the lifeline
(So live and let live in love)
Freeze frame on me
Mmm, can you read it on my face?
Data mining from old memories
Sunflowers and a smile catching
Mmm, welcoming a heartbeat to the family
Light tie lanterns, wish bound in the night
Who? What? When?
All in one stir of a teaspoon
I'm shaken and gasping for air
Lifeline, before and after
In an instant of great white gravity
Hold tight, 'cause all is against me
Every cell in my body, brace,
And keep breathing,
Keep breathing
Gracious future,
Mmm, won't you lend a hand to pull me through?
'Cause me and you've got some things we need to see to
Adventures in the multiverse
Effervescent candlelit closeness
Plus, I feel like I've just got the hang of this living thing
Who? What? When?
All in one stir of a teaspoon
I'm shaken and gasping for air, air, air, air
I will, on one day,
And sometime, in some place,
I've still got some go in me yet
Lifeline, before and after
In an instant of great white gravity
Hold tight, 'cause all is against me
Every cell in my body, brace
Rise high, cling to the laughters
For that moment of broken tragedy
Bright-eyed, the world is against me
Every cell in my body, brace,
And keep breathing,
Keep breathing,
Still breathing
My bones stay strong,
My days, still long,
My heart has many heartbeats,
And home is where love is
Lifeline, before and after
In an instant of great white gravity
Hold tight, 'cause all is against me
Every cell in my body, brace
Rise high, cling to the laughters
For that moment of broken tragedy
Bright-eyed, the world is against me
Every cell in my body, brace,
And keep breathing
Keep breathing
Keep breathing
Keep breathing
Keep breathing
With an urgent, careful stare,
And some panic in those eyes
If I see you lying there,
Hoping this was the last time
If you hear a distant sound,
And see footsteps by your side.
When the world comes crashing down.
I will find you if you hide.
If you wish it, wish it now.
If you wish it, wish it loud.
If you want it, say it now.
If you want it, say it loud.
We all make mistakes.
Here's your lifeline.
If you want it, I want to.
We all make mistakes.
Here's your lifeline.
If you want to I want to
There's a field with a dream.
I watched it grow with whitest light.
I watched us all reach out and lean.
For the strength to touch the sky.
If you hear a distant sound.
And some footsteps by your side.
If you feel like comin' round.
I will take you for a ride.
If you wish it, wish it now.
If you wish it, wish it loud.
If you want it, say it now.
If you want it, say it loud.
We all make mistakes.
Here's your lifeline.
If you want it, I want to.
We all make mistakes.
Here's your lifeline.
When you're so long gone, you can't help yourself
When you're so dead wrong
Let alone no one else
Well the children still dying in the streets
The babies still living with disease
The cops got guns, the poor folks got sons
Who work for Mr. Franklin every week
If you've come looking for hard times
Hard times ain't hard to find
Cause we've been given that lifeline
Only once in a lifetime
Baby we were born
Maybe we were born
To be sure ... to endure
When the storm comes
Got them sad eyes
Got them cat eyes
Got your angels tired
From saving your life
So you would be best
To contain yourself
Before you end up killed
His bare feet
Touch her bare feet
The air breaths sweet
At the mountains peak
And I forgot
What the wise man said
About that ancient thread
Baby we were born
Maybe we were born
To be sure ... to rejoice
A fire burns
In your eye
You gasp, you suck
The line of life
Relentless
Relentless confusion
Day after day
In the shadow
An angel cries
Hearts and minds
Torn by lies
Tormented conscience
Buried by weight
Innocence confused
By hate
Walking
Walking in silence
A ceremony
Of false ideals
The anguish and deceit
Hard reality
Begins to set in
A hostile state
".inflicted heavy losses"
"There were no survivors"
A steadfast dream
Creates blindness
The wound inside
Runs deep
I've never been the one
For saying the right thing
And I messed up again
Broke your heart
Without even trying
And I blamed it on you
But there is no evidence for my case
And I know the truth
But I still can't point the blame in my face
So I'll grab my coat
And see you tomorrow
Tell you what I'm gonna do to make it up to you tonight
I'm gonna leave you alone
Leave you alone
'Cause I don't know any other way to try to make it right
I'll just leave you alone
I'll leave you alone tonight
You probably know
That you did nothing this time
But I made it known
That I'm not gonna give up being right
So I'll grab my coat
And see you tomorrow
I'll tell you what I'm gonna do to make it up to you tonight
I'm gonna leave you alone
Leave you alone
'Cause I don't know any other way to try to make it right
So I'll just leave you alone
I'll leave you alone
Tell you what I'm gonna do to make it up to you tonight
I'm gonna leave you alone
I'm gonna leave you alone
'Cause I don't know any other way to try to make it right
So I'll just leave you alone
I'll leave you alone tonight
I'll leave you alone tonight
until this big revue
i thought i'd figured out
no release from the pressure
growing strong
confirmation from outside is a luxury
but without i have to dig for the reasons
found to live inject my life with meaning
suffering from pains
i needed a cure placed my attention
in what could make a difference
in my life all i wished for before
was a reason to go on
found in a tune hollow existence
a grim prospect secured a distance
and without i'm nothing
sometimes i picture a life
a picture i can't have denied
it with this therapy
i use to define identity
what's lost in me
to where i realize has how been refined
security's no option
invested all i had against recourse
accepted rejection by decisions
to ignore average life
i was always so sure
that the answer lay beyond the prescribed path
refused admission to my escape
provided the stage
Here I am drowning in
A sea of my own choices
Holding to hope by a thread (Yeah)
I'm looking 'round, I'm calling out
Fear pulls me down
When the waters rush over my head
Chorus:
You are my lifeline
You are my rescue
Strength in my weakness
Light in my darkness
You are my safety
Lifter of my head
The air that I need when I can't seem to breathe in
You are my lifeline
You are my lifeline
How many times, how many turns
Will it take 'till I learn
You reach for me in my need (Yeah)
And when I cry I know that I'll
Faithfully find you
When life comes crashing on me
Chorus:
You are my lifeline
You are my rescue
Strength in my weakness
Light in my darkness
You are my safety
Lifter of my head
The air that I need when I can't seem to breathe in
You are my lifeline
You are my lifeline
You're there in my brokenness, in my distress
My rock when I'm strong or when I'm powerless
You hold me in rushing tides when waters rise
And I'll always find
Chorus:
You are my lifeline
You are my rescue
Strength in my weakness
Light in my darkness
You are my safety
Lifter of my head
The air that I need when I can't seem to breathe in
(Repeat once)
You are my lifeline
You are my lifeline
You are my lifeline
Close my eyes you make me wait
Hold my breath you choose my fate
Every time I start to care
Open up my eyes but you're not there
Get me thinkin there's a chance
Thoughts like these are dangerous
Been through this a thousand times
But here I am again that's all right
I'll be fine
Just a little bit of your lifeline
I see your future
Do you see mine
Am I a part of it
Just a little bit would be all right
Perfect in the strangest way
Standing still in disarray
When I see this light within you
I wanna step inside and feel it shine with you
Just a little bit of your lifeline
I see your future
Do you see mine
Am I a part of it
Just a little bit would be all right
I fell in tomorrow
And you there dancing all alone
If I'm dreaming just let me keep on sleeping
Wake me up when you decide
Will I see you've opened up my eyes
Just a little bit of your lifeline
I see your future
Do you see mine
Am I a part of it
Just a little bit
Just a little bit of your lifeline
I wanna live alone
Because the greatest love is always ruined by the bickering
The argument of living
I wanna live alone
I could be happy on my own
Rest of my life
With the vaguest of feeling
I...
Wherever you are
Whoever is there
You'll know that I'll be here
I'll be here
Wishing I could be there
Wherever you are
Whoever is there
You'll know that I'll be here
I'll be here
Wishing I could be there
So I'm gonna live alone
I'm not saying that our love is the greatest
But I'm in love with you
Wanna stay in love with you
So I'm gonna live alone
Yeah, I'll be happy on my own
For the rest of a life
With the vaguest of feeling
I...
Wherever you are
Whoever is there
You'll know that I'll be here
I'll be here
Wishing I could be there
New York City
When I get in taxi
I said, "man" to driver
He said, "man,"
"Oh, I can imagine having drink with that guy,"
He's alright
Oh, he's alright
He's alright
Yeah, he's alright
He's alright
Wherever you are
Whoever is there
You know that I'll be here
I'll be here
Wishing I could be there
Wherever you are
Whoever is there
You know I'll be here
you’re watching everything you ever held on to
slip away from you
and all you’re running from well it’s catching up to you
got you looking for a lifeline
swimming in the high tide
waiting for the daylight
to bring you home
the world is too big to never ask why
the answers don’t fall straight out of the sky
i’m fighting to live and feel alive
but i can’t feel a thing without you by my side
send me out a lifeline
you’re watching everyone you ever belonged to
walk away from you
maybe all along you’ve been running from the truth
got you looking for a lifeline
you’re swimming in the high tide
waiting for the daylight
to bring you home
there’s nothing i would change, i’d give it all away
for you again and again and over again
everything i own is in your control
i’m looking for a lifeline
swimming in the high tide
waiting for the daylight
to bring me home
New York To California
under the tv lights you fell asleep again
don’t know i’m writing this song about you
there’s a picture of a hollywood sign reflecting off your skin
i don’t wanna live another day without you
you woke up and said baby i
had one of those dreams again
the rain came down and i lost you
in the wind
you said something about don’t leave
before you fell back asleep
before i could sing my song back to ya
that you could find yourself lost out in this world
and i’d find a way to get back to your side
no mountain is too high, no stone is too small
i’d build a bridge through the fire
for you i would crawl
from new york to california
i can hear you softly breathe
oh what you do to me
if baby i could climb down into your dreams
i’d build a ladder down through the clouds
where the storm is raging
now i don’t wanna sing another song without ya
if you found yourself lost out in this world
then i’d find a way to get back to your side
no mountain is too high, no stone is too small
i’d build a bridge through the fire
for you i would crawl
from new york to california
la la la la la la
oh oh it’s not too far
la la la la la la
oh oh to where you are
‘cause you could find yourself lost out in this world
and i’d find a way to get back to your side
if you find yourself lost out in this world
then i’d find a way to get back to your side
no mountain is too high, no stone is too small
i’d build a bridge through the fire
for you i would crawl
Through innocent minds the knife glides in
Cutting the lifeline to sanity
Replacing lives with possessions and greed
Like blind children we search frantically
Our hands claw the air for peace and light
But we're offered just blackness and rage
A new life screams as it takes its first breath
Soon trapped in its ready-made cage
Its hands claw the air for peace and light
Yet it's offered just blackness and rage
Through innocent flesh the knife glides in
Cutting the life-line with ease
Replacing life with the foul stench of death
On the fresh blood they now start to feed
They've taken the earth as they now take the life
Cold concrete replaces warm soil
We sit in the corners, minds twisted with fear
If you ever need me
Call me on your phone line
You've got my number if you ever want me
I’m your lifeline
And if you're ever lonely
I’m your love-line
If you ever feel sad
Need someone to hold you
when no one knows you or understands you
I do
Cos no one means as much, girl
As you do
Take your time, it’s just my heart you’re breaking
I don’t mind, though my whole world is shaking
I’ll be fine
I’m sitting by my window
Wondering where you are now
If ever it should rain
Just remember there’s a rainbow
Cos someone thinks about you
Wherever you go
Take your time, it’s just my heart you’re breaking
I don’t mind, though my whole world is shaking
I’ll be fine, I’m your lifeline
If you ever need me
Call me on your phone line
You've got my number if you ever want me
I’m your lifeline
And if you're ever lonely
I’m your love-line
Take your time, it’s just my heart you’re breaking
I don’t mind, though my whole world is shaking
I’ll be fine, Baby I’m your love-line
Baby, I’m your love-line
Oh baby, I’m your lifeline
Baby, I’m your love-line
Mmm baby, I’m your lifeline
You can find a way
To stop thinking about it
When every minute is a lifetime
The pain will go away
You won't believe but it's true
Just count the inches on your lifeline
And I hate to be the one
Telling you that everything's ok
Cause what kind of god would give you life
And take it all away?
Oh but I don't want to be in your life
If you don't
And I don't want to wake in your arms
If you won't
Be alive when I need you the most
Not to say that I won't
Grieve a little when you pass away
When you pass away
You can find a place
And start thinking about it
When every second is the right time
The pain will go away
You won't believe but it's true
Just count the inches on your lifeline
And I hate to be the one
Telling you that everything's ok
Cause what kind of god would give you life
And take it all away?
Oh but I don't want to be in your life
If you don't
And I don't want to wake in your arms
If you won't
Tell me everything you needed to be
Is everything that I am
Everything that you fear
About me
What you fear about me
You'll come back for all the wrong reasons
Maybe your life was out of season
You can't breathe
When you don't have a reason to die
And someday soon when the memory has faded
We'll defend all the lives we once hated
And I'll be there baby glad that you made it alive
I don't want to be in your life
Where am I floating to?
Where am I going?
Touch the surface
Of a lonely wave
Forget that I'm afraid
My heart-beat takes me
One second further
One thought forward
I claim to be myself
The race of a warrior
I might crash against these rocks
But I will hold on to my life line
Where am I floating to?
Where am I going?
My strength on trial
Breathe in salty sea
Too far for me to see
The land of ever-green
And island landscapes
Fairer than the sun
Rain on me
Cover me with gold
Gods let me through
The gates of the sun
Deep in my own self
The race of a warrior
I might crash against these rocks
But I will hold on to my life line
I have this sinking feeling
Something's weighing me down
I am completely saturated
The waves are crashing closer
My feet already drowned
Doing the thing I said I hated
They've been swimming in the wrong water
Now they're pulling me down
But I am clinging to you, never letting go
'Cos I know that you'll lift me out
[Chorus]
Have your way here
Keep me afloat 'cos I know I'll sink without you
Take this ocean of pain that is mine
Throw me a lifeline
Wake up feeling convicted
I know something's not right
Re-acquaint my knees with the carpet
I have to get this out
'Cos it's obstructing you and I
Dry up the seas that keep us parted
'Cos they've been swimming in the wrong waters
And now they're pulling me down
But I am clinging to you, never letting go
'Cos I know that you are gonna pull me out
[Chorus]
They've been swimming in the wrong waters
And now they're pulling me down
But I am clinging to you, never letting go
'Cos I know, 'cos I know
Walking down leafy lane
In a shady dream
People pass me by
Finding reason for flight
But I don't feel that keen
When the spark in your eye
Starts to fade
It's just what you needed
Lazy acres
Under my feet
Nearly found myself wishing
You were there
Reaching out for me
Waiting for the breeze
Waiting for the breeze
And the world of life
Goes by everyday
The city fell in silence
As I began to pray
I wish you well
I hope you're safe
I hope you're stretched out
A million miles high
Running down narrow streets
Narrow minded
Thinking all I want
All I need
People pass me by
But I feel like the only one
Stars in the scarce low light of winter
I could leave again
Lock into that big one
Escape to open places
But I won't undermine
The truth may come home
Throught the windows in the wall
Reaching out for me
Waiting for the breeze
Waiting for the breeze
And all that is beauty
Floats around in suspended air
The life with no ending
The fearless love is there
I know it hurts
I know you're bruised
But it's only on the inside
I know you're lost
And you're confused
It's only on the inside
I see you walk
And you're dragging your feet
But it's only for a moment
Stuck at the part
Where you're feeling complete
Yeah, it's only for a moment
It's not too late to walk in my direction
When honey everything you'll needs in your reflection
Who's gonna walk you home
And who's gonna hold your hand
When you're heavy like a stone
And there's trouble where you stand
No I won't tell your heart where to go
Or make it feel something it won't
You could rearrange the stars
And make them all your own
But you can't fall in love alone
I know you're torn
And in between dreams
But it's all you've ever known
And I know you're worn out at the seams
Yeah, it's all you've ever known
Well there's no place left for you to run
You can cast your past into the sun
Watch it light up the night
And honey you will be fine
It's not too late to walk in my direction
When honey everything you'll needs in your reflection
Who's gonna walk you home
And who's gonna hold your hand
When you're heavy like a stone
And there's trouble where you stand
No I won't tell your heart where to go
Or make it feel something it won't
You could rearrange the stars
And make them all your own
But you can't fall in love alone
You can't fall in love alone
Tell me who's gonna walk you home, yeah, oh,
Who's gonna walk you home
Who's gonna hold your hand
When you're heavy like a stone
And there's trouble where you stand
No I won't tell your heart where to go
Or make it feel something it won't
You could rearrange the stars
And make them all your own
Tell me who's gonna walk you home
Tell me who's gonna walk you home
broken... shattered
memories on the ground
splinters... scattered
lost and never found
your eyes search for me - but i look away
your mouth speaks to me - but i won't hear the words you say
bring it back... BACK
the time is gone - the chance is over
didn't know the right words to say
it's like you threw me in a lifeline
but i chose to walk away
i wish... i would... have took it earlier
now i'm reaching for something out of sight
it feels like something in me died...
impossible - another start
to mend the bridge i decided to blow apart
A) ...IMPOSSIBLE
B) ...IMPOSSIBLE TO
BRING IT BACK... BACK!!!
I told you my heart's leaning towards you, a little
more than I knew something was scaring you.
Is it too much or too fast or too forward?
Should I step back and pretend I don't feel this way?
I don't wanna tell a lie, I don't wanna have to hide.
It's on the line I've waited for a sign,
I see it in your eyes, I, I know you really feel the
same.
I need to know if I should raise or fold, my heart is
stuck on hold,
I, I wanna know which way to go.
I can't love alone, I can't love alone.
I tried not to fall so far for you, now I can't get
away from anything you say.
You make me feel nervous and stupid whenever I tell you
I'm tired of playing games.
I don't wanna tell a lie, I don't wanna have to hide.
It's on the line I've waited for a sign,
I see it in your eyes, I, I know you really feel the
same.
I need to know if I should raise or fold, my heart is
stuck on hold,
I, I wanna know which way to go.
I can't love alone.
Oh, I can't stay here wonderin' if you want me.
If you don't take me, you should leave.
It's on the line I've waited for a sign,
I see it in your eyes, I, I know you really feel the
same.
I need to know if I should raise or fold, my heart is
stuck on hold
I, I wanna know which way to go.
I can't love alone,
I can't love alone,
[Chorus:]
I don't wanna be in love alone
Wanna give you my heart
But you can't be playin' cause
I don't wanna be in love alone
See me falling yeah but I can't be the only one
Cause I don't wanna be in love alone
So give it to me straight know you feeling me baby
No I don't wanna be in love alone
All on my body and I just can't take it.
Heart racing it's amazing
The way you got me off on my game
No secret ima go head and say it
Ya lovin' got me feeling this way (yeah yeah)
If it's an illusion
I need you to tell me now
No room for confusion
I need you to let it out!
[Chorus:]
I don't wanna be in love alone
Wanna give you my heart
But you can't be playin' cause
I don't wanna be in love alone
See me falling yeah but I can't be the only one
Cause I don't wanna be in love alone
So give it to me straight know you feeling me baby
No I don't wanna be in love alone
All on my body and I just can't take it.
Staring into space
Thinking about the way you
Been having me calling your name
Get distracted hard to focus
Boy you know you got me open
Wanna know
If it's an illusion
I need you to tell me now
No room for confusion
I need you to let it out!
[Chorus:]
I don't wanna be in love alone
Wanna give you my heart
But you can't be playin' cause
I don't wanna be in love alone
See me falling yeah but I can't be the only one
Cause I don't wanna be in love alone
So give it to me straight know you feeling me baby
No I don't wanna be in love alone
All on my body and I just can't take it.
(Oh ooh oh ooh oh baby let me know)
Whatever you wanna do
(Yeah yeah)
(I can make it yours If you ready for it)
But you gotta be true
Cuz I
[Chorus:]
I don't wanna be in love alone
Wanna give you my heart
But you can't be playin' cause
I don't wanna be in love alone
See me falling yeah but I can't be the only one
Cause I don't wanna be in love alone
So give it to me straight know you feeling me baby
No I don't wanna be in love alone
Love, truth, hope
Guidance, wisdom
Tolerance, trust, "the way"
Compromise, compassion, caring
Romance, respect, we play
War ends today
This is all so very simple
CHORUS
Love Alone
Is all that these words mean
No meaning in between, just Love Alone
Love Alone
The pattern's clear to see
If we could all just be
These words of hope
And not just cope
There'd be a lot more love
Love Alone
Freedom, song, happiness, laughter
Friendship, the power to just BE
Thankfulness, inner peace, grow, giving
We, not I, the day
It never fades away
And it's all so very simple
REPEAT CHORUS
Earth and sky reflect the beauty
Of what's inside you and me
This all works so perfectly
Sometimes it's hard to see we're all it
It's US, love's YOU, love's ME
Why don't you believe me when I say that I love you?
'Cause I'm crazy 'bout you
Wear the face that tells me you think my loving ain't true
I'm all about you
You're my desirer higher, higher everytime I speak your name
That's all I do (that's all I do, that's all I do, that's all I do)
And the way that I can't sleep at night just proves what I go through
I'm crazy 'bout you
Now the first time that I saw you walking down the street so pretty
Gone with your bad self
Now you say that I don't love you When it's giving my love pains
It's the hurt and the tension
Girl, it's driving me insane
Chorus
You are my, you are my
You are my lovely one
You are my, you are my
You are my lovely one
You are my, you are my
You are my lovely one
You are my, you are my
You are my lovely one!
Why don't you believe me, When I say that I am true?
I'm crazy 'bout you
I'm here to love and please you, I'll do what you want me to
I'm all about you
Living and hoping, but I'm coping
With these things you put me through
That's all I do
The way that I can't sleep at night
Just proves what I go through
I crazy 'bout you
Now the first time that I saw you walking down the street so pretty
Gone with your bad self
Now you say that I don't love, When it's giving my love pains
It's the hurt and the tension
