Once upon a time, in the land of hush-a-bye, around about the wondrous days of yore, they came across a kind of box, bound up with chains and locked with locks and labeled "Kindly do not touch it's war."
A decree was issued round about, and all with a flourish and a shout and a gaily-colored mascot tripping lightly on before. Don't fiddle with this deadly box, or break the chains, or pick the locks. And please don't ever play about with war.
Well, the children understood. Children happen to be good and they were just as good around the time of yore. They didn't try to pick the locks or break into that deadly box. They never tried to play about with war. Mommies didn't either, sisters, aunts, grannies neither. They were quiet, and sweet, and pretty in those wondrous days of yore. Well, very much the same as now, not the ones to blame somehow for opening up that deadly box of war.
But someone did. Someone battered in the lid and spilled the insides out across the floor. A sort of bouncy, bumpy ball made up of guns and flags and all the tears, and horror, and death that comes with war. It bounced right out and went bashing all about, bumping into everything in store. And what was sad and most unfair was that it didn't really seem to care much who it bumped, or why, or what, or for.
It bumped the children mainly. And I'll tell you this quite plainly, it bumps them every day and more, and more, and leaves them dead, and burned, and dying, thousands of them sick and crying. Cause when it bumps, it's really very sore.
Now there's a way to stop the ball. It isn't difficult at all. All it takes is wisdom, and I'm absolutely sure that we can get it back into the box, and bind the chains, and lock the locks. But no one seems to want to save the children anymore.
Well, that's the way it all appears, cause it's been bouncing round for years and years. In spite of all the wisdom €˜wiz since those wondrous days of yore and the time they came across the box, bound up with chains and locked with locks, and labeled "Kindly do not touch, it's war."
I live in a box. I live on a one way street, but I don't mind.
'Cause I live alone. Nobody has to share my home.
And if I could choose I might pick a bigger box
But that's all I'd change, until I get a credit card
My home on the range is underneath my black hat
Until I wake up
I will not be watching you so you should not be watching me
I've got what I need. I've got a car that doesn't work.
I've got blood to bleed. I've got a bar of soap. I've got shampoo too
So I look like me but I smell like you.
I won the Nobel Prize. I made a thinner dime.
You know I'll get my act together when I find the time
But right now I think that living is a place to lie down.
You see I rule the dirt, so I'm the king of this town.
I live in the dark. I live in the silence, and I can say
That I see and hear how much more than the average bear
And if I could choose I might pick a darker void
But that's all I'd change, until I get a bigger club
My home on the range is somewhere in the closet,
Until I wake up.
I will not be watching you so you should not be watching me
So here's what we've got. You tell me what I am.
I'll tell you what I am not. You tell me what I'm not.
I'll tell you what I am. We'll both scratch our heads
Like we give a damn. Please tell me who comes out ahead
Was it me or you? Was it me or you? (probably you)
I live in my skull. I'm under my eyelids. You can't touch me.
'Cause I'm fast asleep. You wouldn't like the friends I keep.
And I could choose I might pick a larger head
But that's all I'd change, until I get a safe way out.
My home on the range is right behind my eyeballs.
Wandering
Walking
Drifting with the tide
Browsing
Searching
Finding our way through life
Whatever we find
It is all about to last for a while
Just a better way to live on our place
The place that we awe our lives
It's a fragile small box
I feel like life it's catching up
And the law of self preservation
Is being broken
I am in a box.
I am locked inside.
Someone owns the locks.
Nowhere left to hide.
Nothing left but hell.
No one left to be.
No one here to tell.
No one here to free.
Nothing you can see;
All the scars are small:
Deeper than the sea,
Closer than the wall.
Nowhere left to hide;
Someone blocks the door.
No one left to ask
What that scream is for.
I am in a box.
I am locked inside.
Someone owns the locks.
Nowhere left to hide.
No one left to cry.
No one here who talks.
Nowhere to be safe.

Just a better way to live on our place
The place that we awe our lives
It's a fragile small box
I feel like life its catching up
And the law of self preservation
Is being broken
In the end we will give back
I was living in a small mind
With no lifeline
And no messages can reach me from the outside
When I looked out over the horizon
Didn't notice the sun was setting or just rising
Then it hit me
Maybe bit me
Then I knew, quite a few would not go with me
I didn't know exactly where I would be going
But I had to let this river in me flowing
What a ride
When you open your eyes
For the very first time
A real surprise
I started living outside of the box
Crossing over lines where I always used to stop
Living outside of the box
'Cause I'm not gonna be anybody that I'm not
I always knew this day would come
When I got off my back, found some motivation
I've been living on the other side
Come hell or high water every moment I'm alive
I was living on a fault line
The fault was all mine
And this unstable ground found me down half the time
But I had enough
I had to get up
I had to shrug it all off 'cause it's the same old stuff
Then it hit me
You won't permit me
To be an individual
Just doesn't fit me
But I decided that it's going to be living
Yeah, I decided I'm escaping from your prison
What a high
When you open your mind for the very first time
A real surprise
I started living outside of the box
Crossing over lines where I always used to stop
Living outside of the box
'Cause I'm not gonna be anybody that I'm not
I always knew this day would come
When I got off my back, found some motivation
I've been living on the other side
Come hell or high water every moment I'm alive
So long conformity
And ambiguality is a new priority
All it takes, for heaven sakes
Is to figure out the face and learn to seperate
I started living outside for the box
Taking my time when I always used to rush
Living outside of the box
'Cause I'm not gonna be anybody that I'm not
I always knew this day would come
When I broke down the walls for my liberation
I've been living on the other side
Come hell or high water every moment I'm alive
Oh, living outside of the box
Oh, living outside of the box
Oh, living outside
Ha ha ha
I always knew this day would come
When I got off my back, found some motivation
Oh, living outside of the box
Of the box, of your life
Of everything that seems that nice
I know a guy who lives in a box
He built it himself of cement and rocks
And he'll never come out though I beg and plead
He's got all that he wants if not all that he needs
You see he couldn't take the world and what it's done to him
He just had to escape, had to shut himself in
Now his walls are his friends so he's never alone
And he's never bothered in his cubic home
Living in a box
Every night and day
Living in a box
And I'm here to stay
Living in a box
There's no escape
And though I try
I can never get away, HEY!
Out in my box that is also my van
Just another six weeks of one night stands
And I can't get away, cause it's where that I go
From the van to the club to our nightly hotel
You see it takes me to places, even took me to you
I got no choice, I gotta pay my dues
Worth it or not, there's no escape from my cell
One hour of fun for twenty three of Hell
Living in a box for so long
I got to find my way out to go on
And what I got is no time for you
I'm in my box without a thing to do
Look at yourself, you're living the same
Locked behind walls that your brother has made
You were born in a box, you work in a box, you live in a box AND YOU'LL DIE IN A BOX
So much more that's outside your sphere
But you walk on by never knowing how near
So much more than the walls do show
But if you're not very careful then you'll never know!
Sometimes she's rude, sometimes she's too crude
Sometimes she understands, sometimes her hands are dirty
So she stays there at home in her box
There's a part of her that shouts
And there's a part that only whispers
There's another part that would spit if you kissed her
So she's safer when she's hiding in her box
Most times I have to keep her in her box
It's not a sad thing
She gets to exercise her wings
It scares the shit out of me
So many different ways to be
So she stays there at home in her box
Most times I have to keep her in her box

ADF back with a lyrical death threat
With you ignorant attitudes what the fuck did you expect?
We'll mash up your stereo with a typical body blow
Asian distortion
Better tread it with caution
Better treat it with caution ...
Eyes permanently closed
You tell me everything's alright
Chemical escape
You're desensitised
Sitting cross-legged with your joss sticks and your flutes
Just taking and faking what's easy:
No respect for our roots
See me , hear me

Better tread it with caution

Many noises and voices
And messages in the blender
Yes I speak out to many
'Cos it's a bigger agenda
But preach to the converted is what you say we do
Show them to me man
I don't see them, do you ? ....
Everbody talking man
they're now talking about
say it's the junglistic sound
that is coming around
And if you choosa di sound
And a fuse a it down
From top to bottom create your own obsession
Master Deeder- that is my name
And I'm kicking all the way
all the way for the fame
We four brothers- one of a kind
Like no other you will find
Millitant scientists
Yes, that's what we are
No we're never gonna be laid back
Too busy dodging your attack
ADF here to kick your arse again
We'll give you bass in your face
And we're gonna offend
Peace !

There's a good chance we won't make it to the big dance
They all owe us ticket's for two
So if I may, I will take the first steps
And say I feel like drowning at the end of the month
And the world is warm, so it blows out
And the box is wet, so it falls out
And the ice is cold but it won't melt
'Cause I am a fake who sticks to his guns
It's what I know, son
And it comes easy to a liar like me
Oh hey, and it comes easy
Colors are bleeding into gray
And though you're feeling down
Baby, I want to get down with you
Now if I can say you would look fine
In a frame on my bedroom wall
'Cause I am a fake who sticks to his guns
And lets the bitches run

Hot coffee
Woops, in your eggs

Down the stairs
In the street
Hey lady, guess what?
You've missed your bus!
I've caught myself dreaming of an open field
In October when the wind turns the sky to grey
I can stand still there in the needle of the hay
And do nothing but to wish time and place started here
It's a working day
A rainy day
Walk-a walk-a walk away
It's a mid-week day
A working day
Walk-a walk-a walk away
I've caught myself dreaming of an open field
In October when the wind turns the sky to grey
I can stand still there in the needle of the hay
And do nothing but to wish time and place started here
It's a working day
A rainy day
Walk-a walk-a walk away
It's working day
It's a mid-week day
Walk-a walk-a walk away
You're late

Look,
Can you see the fields of wheat?
They don’t mean much to me
I can’t live on that
Still, now
When the sun turns to red
I will match the golden fields
To the color of your hair
This is the secret you will keep within yourself
And are never to forget
One sees well only with the heart
For what truly matters is invisible to the naked eye
And hey, go get back and take a look
At those who’ve made you feel ashamed
And you will understand
It’s yours, the prettiest rose of all
For the efforts you have spent
And the love you have given
(CHORUS)
And we will always, always be friends
And we will always, always be friends-ends-ends
And we will always, always be friends
And we will always, always be friends
My friend
This is the secret you will keep within yourself
And are never to forget
One sees well only with the heart
For what truly matters is invisible to the naked eye
Hey, hey
(CHORUS)
And we will always, always be friends
And we will always, always be friends-ends-ends
And we will always, always be friends
And we will always, always be friends
And we will always, always be friends
And we will always, always be friends-ends-ends
And we will always, always be friends
And we will always, always be friends
My friend
And we will always, always be friends
And we will always, always be friends-ends-ends
And we will always, always be friends
And we will always, always be friends-ends
Always be friends-ends
I would’ve never thought
I could’ve felt inside my heart
Such a fire, such a drive
Such confidence inside my heart
I used to wonder every day
Will ever someone reach inside my heart
And make me want to shed into the light
Everything I feel, all the little things inside
All of the passions, all of the dreams
(CHORUS)
Inside of my heart
All I feel
Is a storm of emotions I just can’t control
All out of love, deep down inside my heart
(Inside my heart)
Inside of my heart
All I feel
Is a hurricane of love like I’ve never had before
All of the passions, all of the dreams
All out of love, inside of my heart
Inside my heart
Feels like a thousand little flames are burning
Inside my heart
(Inside my heart)
Throwing all the light, all the light I needed
Inside my heart
(Inside my heart)
You bring out the best of what has been long hiding
Inside my heart
(Inside my heart)
And make me want to shed into the light
Everything I feel, all the little things inside
All of the passions, all of the dreams
(CHORUS)
Inside of my heart
All I feel
Is a storm of emotions I just can’t control
All out of love, deep down inside my heart(Inside my
heart)
Inside of my heart
All I feel
Is a hurricane of love like I’ve never had before
All of the passions, all of the dreams
All out of love
Inside of my heart
All I feel
Is a storm of emotions I just can’t control
All out of love, deep down inside my heart
(Inside my heart)
Inside of my heart
All I feel
Is a hurricane of love like I’ve never had before
All of the passions, all of the dreams
All out of love
Inside of my heart
On the 14th of October
Very early in the morning
The results of a crime were found
In the stables of Le Père Choupant
The old man had discovered
To his absolute dismay
The dislocated body
Of Elizabeth Dumoutier
The police was called in
I was handed the inquiry
Upon arriving on the scene
Some photographs were shot
A couple of small time journalists
Were raising their fists among the crowd
Shouting:
“Hey c’est Austin le coupable!!”
“C’est lui qui a fait le coup je vous dis moi!”
“Ben oui, c’est Austin quoi, merde!”
“Eh bien alors là, comment c’est que vous savez ça vous
deux?”
“Ben c’est normal, tout le monde les a vus quitter le
bal ensemble hier soir!”
Walking, walking,
On the tight rope of insanity
On the verge of loosing mind
Walking, walking,
On the tight rope of insanity
On the verge of loosing mind
The man was found on a nearby road
Wandering without a goal
In a complete state of amnesia
And his hair filled with straw
Though the whole thing seemed unreal
It soon became quite clear
That Austin, the author of this crime
Needed swift assistance
“Allez, allez, monsieur le commissaire maintenant
il va faire le coup de gars qui ne se rappelled de
rien!”
“Toi je t’interdis de publier tes salads dans ton
canard de merde
jusqu’à ce que le procès soit terminé”
(The Commissioner)
“Look Pal
Your rag doesn’t get any of this
Until the trial is over, clear?”
Walking, walking,
On the tight rope of insanity
On the verge of loosing mind
Walking, walking,
On the tight rope of insanity
On the verge of loosing mind
Say… Say to me…
Please say that this can’t be!
Say… Say to me…
Please say that this can’t be!
Oh say… Say to me…
Please say that this can’t be!
Say… Say to me…
Please say that this can’t be!
Exhaustive study on the subject
Led experts to conclude
Austin had been the victim of a strange case
Of split personality
The trial neared its end
And though the facts had been exposed
The crowd still wanted blood
Well, they were in for a big surprise!
(Le Judge)
“La cour, levez-vous!”
Walking, walking,
On the tight rope of insanity
On the verge of loosing mind
Walking, walking,
On the tight rope of insanity
On the verge of loosing mind

Please say that this can’t be!

And it's early
I'm standing in the chill
Right across
There's a lady who waits
And I shiver
Hoping it won't be long
There's a train that's headed my way
And I don't know where I'm going
Must I always remember
I can't keep looking back?
Must they always remind me
The goal is hard to reach?
Very pretty
The country goes by
Very far
From where I used to be
I don't feel
Like dreaming anymore
I contain my emotions
And I think I understand
Must I always remember
I can't keep looking back?
Must they always remind me
The goal is hard to reach?
Must I always remember
I can't keep looking back?
Must they always remind me
The goal is hard to reach?
Very soon
We will enter a city
All the same as where I came from
And I'll like it just the same
Must I always remember
I can't keep looking back?
Must I always remind me
The goal is hard to reach?
Must I always remember
I can't keep looking back?
Must I always remind me
The goal is hard to reach?
Young and free, but it doesn’t take me long
Na na na, na na na, na na na
To be friends with someone just like you
Na na na, na na na, na na na
There are things, little things I like to hear
Na na na, na na na, na na na
There are things that you sounded so well
Na na na, na na na, na na na
Chorus
So is it for real you I love or am I fooled by what I see
Should I try to make it fit or should I just believe in me
Woe oh
My dreams of you
all the time, all the time, all the time
There is nothing I can do
For your image is left printed in my head
Very hard
This image of you
all day long, all day long, all day long
So is it for real you I love or am I fooled again by what I see
How I wished you are here again
Na na na, na na na, na na na
By my side for another day or two
Na na na, na na na, na na na
I would abandon my spirit to your charms
Na na na, na na na, na na na
Even though I feel I would get nothing else of you
Na na na, na na na, na na na
If your heart weighs heavy
Then it’s time you headed your way
Julie wipes the counter
Where customers have been
Picking up her tips
From coffees and sandwiches
Small cars and pick-up trucks
Up and down the road
As she gazes out the window
(CHORUS)
And I see so many people, so many dreams, yeah
It’s got to be now or never
Such little time ahead
Just a lone life to live, yeah
It’s got to be now or never
I say take a chance, babe
Take a chance along the way
You got one life to live
Dreams of today for another day ahead
If your heart weighs heavy
Then it’s time you headed your way
Oh yeah yeah
One day, time is up
Julie hangs the apron
Says goodbye, grabs her bag
And heads off to the station
Buys herself a one-way trip
On the six o’clock express
Her heartbeat racing
‘Cause there ain’t no looking back
I say take a chance, babe
Take a chance along the way
You got one life to live
Dreams of today for another day ahead
If your heart weighs heavy
Then it’s time you headed your way
If your heart weighs heavy
Then it’s time you headed your way
(CHORUS)
And I see so many people, so many dreams, yeah
It’s got to be now or never
Oh yeah
Oh yeah yeah
Oh yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Such little time ahead
Just a lone life to live, yeah
It’s got to be now
Now or never
‘Cause there ain’t no looking back
‘Cause there ain’t no looking back
‘Cause there ain’t no looking back
‘Cause there ain’t no looking back
It’s a lone life to live
It’s a lone life to live
It’s a lone life to live
It’s a lone life to live
In the U.S.A. and the U.S.S.R.....
We are ordinary people leading ordinary lives
We use lots of simple ways to get simple happiness
We have ordinary problems, and ordinary fears
We all take care of our business
Life goes on, and nothing changes
We don't understand much 'bout those big shot
politicians
And whose got most of them firecrackers to blow up in
our faces
I bet my shirt that way back there in the U.S.S.R.
People think like you and me, but
Life goes on, and nothing changes
We are ordinary people
And our star bears no colour black or white
We are ordinary people
No matter what we stand for all in all
We're all the same
And it don't matter
In the U.S.A. and the U.S.S.R.....
I wonder what the Soviet Rambo looks like in their
pictures
I'm sure as hell he's just as sweet as ours
There's got to be some Russian Sting who sings about
his people
And how strong is the will to live in peace, but
Life goes on, and nothing changes
And I say:
We are ordinary people
And our star bears no colour black or white
We are ordinary people
No matter what we stand for all in all
We're all the same
And it don't matter
All right, everybody stand!
We are ordinary people
And our star bears no colour black or white
We are ordinary people
No matter where we come from all we are
We are ordinary people
And our star bears no colour black or white
We are ordinary people
No matter what we stand for all in all
We're all the same
And it don't matter
Summertime, nightfall
And the fever of the heat
I feel tension all around
You could breathe it in the air
I stand still, alive in emotion
I am a slave to my destiny
Share my desire, my urge to surrender
Sleepless nights are vain without you
(CHORUS)
(Temptation)
Oh, blind in obsession
(Temptation)
The sweet cry of fantasy
(Temptation, temptation)
Have mercy, mercy for me
I feel lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely
No sense of reality
The pleasure and the pain
I’ll be burning down inside
Till the second you are mine
I stand still, alive in emotion
I am a slave to my destiny
Share my desire, my urge to surrender
Sleepless nights are vain without you
I get closer to losing, every maddening second
What is left of my will
Cuz I love how it feels, and I hardly had enough
The power of your spell
(CHORUS)
(Temptation)
Oh, blind in obsession
(Temptation)
The sweet cry of fantasy
(Temptation, temptation)
Have mercy, mercy for me
I feel lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely
Oh, wild fire burning loose
(CHORUS)
(Temptation)
Oh, blind in obsession
(Temptation)
The sweet cry of fantasy
(Temptation, temptation)
Have mercy, mercy for me
I feel lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely
Closer together
(Closer together)
Closer together
(Closer together)
Closer together
(Hey, hey, oooh, ooh)
Closer together
(Oooohoooo)
They ain’t got nobody
But they’re looking all around
For a new way to be friends
Or just better friends with life
When time is running out
And there ain’t no looking back
They want us closer together
And loving every minute, every minute of it all
We should try to understand
That it’s up to you and up to me and up to all of us
To get....
(CHORUS)
Closer together
(Closer together)
(Try, try, try real hard, oooh)
Closer together
(Closer together)
If you ain’t got nobody
Could be pretty well too late to hope for better
I say, it’s pretty plain to see
That it’s up to you and up to me and up to all of us
To get....
(Closer together)
Oh, we can only make it work
(Closer together)
Just can’t go wrong
Make it all worthwhile
(CHORUS)
Make it all worthwhile
(Closer together)
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, make it all worthwhile
(Closer together)
This just can’t go wrong
We can only make it work really nice
(Closer together)
Try, try, try, try to make it all work for the best
(Closer together)
It’s not too late
(Too late)
To hope
(To hope)
For better
(Oh, for better)
Oh no, it’s not too late
(Too late)
To hope
(To hope)
For better
(No, no, no, no)
Oh no
Don’t give up
(Closer together)
Whoaaaa, whoaaa
Carry on, carry on, carry carry carry on
Carry on, carry on, carry carry carry on
Carry on, carry on, carry carry carry on
All right, little sister
You’re a bit shaken, but you’re looking good
Inside, you got beat up
And your pride took a bit of flak
You tried hard, worked like a dog
Gave your best shot but you ran out of luck
In flames down to the ground
Oh, you want a second chance? You got it!
(CHORUS)
(Carry on, carry on, carry carry carry on)
Little sister
(Carry on, carry on, carry carry carry on)
Oh yeah yeah
You get stuck deep down shit city
You get back, got your head screwed right
So jump in, keep your head above the water
Oh, you want a second chance? You got it!
(CHORUS)
(Carry on, carry on, carry carry carry on)
Little sister
(Carry on, carry on, carry carry carry on)
Oh yeah yeah
(Carry on, carry on, carry carry carry on)
Oh, you want a second chance?
(Carry on, carry on, carry carry carry on)
Oh yeah yeah
Open your eyes, girl, and look around
Don’t people out there make you want to fight on?
(CHORUS)
(Carry on, carry on, carry carry carry on)
Oh, you want a second chance?
(Carry on, carry on, carry carry carry on)
Oh yeah yeah, keep your head above the water

So the young boy proceeded
To climb up the stair
With a candle he held in the dark
Up to the second floor
And then entering the corridor
His own shadow on the wall
He slightly pushed the door to the room
Where the old man layed to rest
The Old Man: "Tell me - you dream of beautiful things
sometimes, don't you?"
The Young Boy: "Of course I dream!"
The Old Man: "And you do believe in dreams....."
The Young Boy: "Of course I do. We all dream...."
A Crowd Of Kids: "We do it - we do it all the time!"
(CHORUS)
Oh, tell me
Tell me a story of love
Would you tell me a story
Oh, tell me
Tell me a story of dreams
Of dreams gone forever
Oh, tell me
Tell me a story of love
Would you tell me a story
Oh, tell me
Tell me a story of dreams
Of dreams long gone
And in the center of the small room
Covered by the sheets
The old man with a sparkle in his eyes
Made a gesture of the hand
So, coming closer to the large bed
With his eyes wide awake
The little boy reached out for the hand
A hand of a hundred years
The Old Man: "Tell me - you dream of beautiful things
sometimes, don't you?"
The Young Boy: "Of course I dream!"
The Old Man: "And you do believe in dreams....."
The Young Boy: "Of course I do. We all dream...."
A Crowd Of Kids: "We do it - we do it all the time!
(CHORUS)
Oh, tell me
Tell me a story of love
Would you tell me a story of....
Oh, tell me
Tell me a story of dreams
Of dreams gone forever
Oh, tell me
Tell me a story of love
Would you tell me a story
Oh, tell me
Of dreams long gone
Of dreams gone forever
Would you tell me, oh tell me
Tell me
Tell me a story of dreams
These eyes he uses to see
He feels everything I touch
Inside, concealed in my mind and my soul
Shouting the virtues of pleasures in life
Wondering what took so long
There he is, suggesting his will over mine
(CHORUS)
I feel like
I feel like a demon is in my head
Who never rests, who never tires
All night, like a fire in the woods
So fascinating, so provocating
There are things I shall never have to miss
With a little help, just a little help
From a friend, right here in my head
The little evil in me
These hands he uses to kill
He slayed the only one I loved
Inside, controlling my moves and my strength
Nobody knew just how fragile I was
Nobody else but him
Up there, concealed in my mind and my soul
(CHORUS)
I feel like
I feel like a demon is in my head
Who never rests, who never tires
All night, like a fire in the woods
So fascinating, so provocating
There are things I shall never have to miss
With a little help, just a little help
From a friend, right here in my head
The little evil in me
There are things
I shall never
Have to miss
With a little help from a friend
The little, little evil in me
There are things
I shall never
Have to miss
With a little help from a friend
The little, little evil in me
There are things
I shall never
Have to miss
With a little help from a friend (from a friend)
The little, little evil in me
There are things
I shall never
Have to miss
With a little help from a friend
The little, little evil in me
(CHORUS)
I feel like
I feel like a demon is in my head
Who never rests, who never tires
All night, like a fire in the woods
So fascinating, so provocating
There are things I shall never have to miss
With a little help, just a little help
From a friend, right here in my head
The little evil in me
The little evil in me.....
It was a very simple melody.
It went something like ...
Na na da da dum
Da da da da da da dum...
There's a long road by the coast
There's an old tree standing tall
There's strayed house in the field
And the tall weeds in the wind
Feel, feel the wind again
Make it your own, empty your soul
Can't you see that you don't have to say
Not even a word to get through to me?
I see all around
All the majesty of those simple things
I know I felt for you
I can feel your presence everywhere
Oh feel, feel the wind again
Make it your own, empty your soul
Can't you see that you don't have to say
Not even a word to get through to me?
(CHORUS)
Cause I'm crying out loud for love
(For love)
And there's a hundred different ways of crying out loud
Oh, I'm crying out loud for love
(For love)
And the beauty of the land speaks for me
Speaks for me
Speaks for me
Goodbye, mon ami
I will very much miss your love
And the cold colors of the land
When the sun has yet to die again
Oh feel, feel the wind again
Make it your own, empty your soul
Can't you see that you don't have to say
Not even a word to get through to me?
(CHORUS)
Cause I'm crying out loud for love
(For love)
And there's a hundred different ways of crying out loud
Oh, I'm crying out loud for love
(For love)
And the beauty of the land speaks for me
Whoa, I'm crying out loud for love
(For love)
And there's a hundred different ways of crying out loud
Oh, I'm crying out loud for love
(For love)
And the beauty of the land speaks for me
Speaks for me
Speaks for me
In this space I sleep, I dream
But I want to die
Placed in a box against my will
I am used as a toy
This is all I know, this is all I think
I am nothing, I am noone
It's dark when I cry, when I pray
He lives in a box down by the ocean
Down off the main road by the hill
Takes what he finds and eats it right there
Makes what he can with what he will
He don't ride the bus
They don't let him drive
There he walks for miles, a day
Cause he ain't got no ride
He lives in a box down by the ocean
Down by the sea side at the hill
Palm trees it ain't the beauty look, good though
Eventhough he looks pretty ill
He lives in a box down by the ocean
Down by the sea side at the hill
Palm trees it ain't the beauty look, good though
Eventhough he looks pretty ill
He lives in a box down by the ocean
Down by the sea side at the hill
Palm trees it ain't the beauty look, good though
years later, out of nowhere. a box i forgot i still had.
pale, near-virgin paper barely creased or ever read. the
scent of your lipstick still preserved where you kissed
it. the few only words you ever wrote me. "i'm glad we
met." "i hope we can make each other happy." "we're a
step ahead." ...we're a step ahead... i've heard that one
