You are beyond any reproach now
You are so cool, you?re so flawless now
Perfect approach, impeccable execution
When you are done, can you show me how?
I?m not just a man
I am the man you can?t have
I need something else
You are the one who can?t help
You?ve gotten sick on self-satisfaction
And now my patience is wearing thin
You seem surprised, how could this happen?
You knew what I was when you took me in
I?m not just a man
I am the man you can?t have
I need something else
And you are the one who can?t help
And I?m not just a man
I am the man you can?t have
And I need something else
And you are the one who can?t help
I?m not just a man
I am the man you can?t have
I need something else
You seem to think you've got this business figured out inside your head
and all the while you see me, falling,
for your name.
You seem to think it's easier to steal and cheat instead of love
But you're not getting any younger, so start your life, it isn't over yet
And all you people, who try to understand
you know, they're not any younger, they start their lives
it isn't over yet.
And so I see you on the road to your own
but you're not getting any younger
you start your life
Do you know the heart?
Do you that it can be destroyed?
You can make it go away
You can make it shrivel up and die
Take a look at me
Give me everything you've got
If it's not enough
Make me everything you're not
It's just a side effect of loving you
A nasty soundtrack to the city
He says the effects will recover soon
The situation is dire
You don't know what love is
Until you've learned the meaning of the Blues
Until you've loved a love you had to lose
You don't know what love is
You don't know how lips hurt
Until you've kissed and had to pay the cost
Until you've flipped your heart and you have lost
I saw a ship on the horizon
I hadn?t seen before
I wanted to cry tears of joy
But I don?t have them anymore
I?ve wasted them on trifles
Things that just don?t mean a thing
But when I come back home to you
My love is what I?ll bring
I saw a ship on the horizon
I hadn?t seen before
I wanted to cry tears of joy
But I don?t have them anymore
I?ve wasted them on trifles
Things that just don?t mean a thing
And when I come back home to you
My love is what I?ll bring
I saw a ship on the horizon
I hadn?t seen before
I found those tears I lost
?Cause you don?t love me anymore
You left me so that you could go
And have an easy life
One filled with zero trouble
I fall to pieces
Each time I see you again
I fall to pieces
How can I be just your friend
You want me to act
Like we've never kissed
You want me to forget
Pretend we've never met
And I try and I try
But I haven't yet
You walk by and I fall to pieces
solo
I fall to pieces
Each time someone speaks your name
I fall to pieces
Time only adds to the pain
You tell me to find someone else to love
Someone who loves me too
The way you used to do
But each time I go out with someone new
Where the boys are, someone waits for me
A smilin' face, a warm embrace, two arms to hold me tenderly
Where the boys are, my true love will be
He's walkin' down some street in town and I know he's lookin' there for me
In the crowd of a million people I'll find my valentine
And then I'll climb to the highest steeple and tell the world he's mine
Till he holds me I wait impatiently
Where the boys are, where the boys are
Where the boys are, someone waits for me
Till he holds me I wait impatiently
Where the boys are, where the boys are
Are you angry, 'cause you're not doing what you want to do?
I understand that, 'cause that's the way that I am feeling too
Are you exhausted? Your mind is always working overtime
I can see it in your eyes baby, but everything is going to work out fine
I don't know what I can do for you, but I can make sure that you're not lonely too
and hold you for a while
I really sorry that I hurt you with things I've said to you
but when I'm down and being hard on myself, the words just come out wrong
I will defy my fears and keep on going, so I can be someone that's there for you
I don't want to keep myself from knowing, If I can make it on my own
I don't know what I can do for, but I can make sure that you're not lonely too
and hold you, for a while
Mesmerizing, hypnotizing, resolve made of steel
You've got all the good cards baby
Don't say no and don't say maybe
What you fighting for, what is it you fight for?
It's okay to not have answers, they don't have them anyway
Save that bullshit for the bedroom
That's where all your best work gets done
You're all by yourself, you're your only lover
What do you think, you'll do to me, that you have not already done?
Why don't you try sticking your dick
Into all the things that you bought
People say to me you cannot change
People say you always stay the same
If that were true I would leave this place
I would vanish from this place without a trace
I would leave you alone, build yourself a throne
You have said to me you cannot change
Coming from you that sounds very strange
'Cause you have changed in so many ways
That I have trouble recognizing you from day to day
And trouble is your thing, it takes away the sting
Someday these concerns may be your own
When you're lost and far away from home
But you won't have it any other way
Now you'll have to pay
Strange how you've stopped loving me
how you've stopped needing me,
since she came along, oh, how strange
Strange, you changed like night and day
Just up and walked away
when she came along, oh, how strange
Well, I guess that I was just your puppet
you held on a string
to think I thought you really loved me
but look what thoughts can bring
Strange, you're still in all my dreams
oh, what a funny thing
Long afloat, on shipless oceans
I did all my best to smile
til your singing eyes and fingers
drew me loving to your aisle
and you sang
sail to me
sail to me, let me enfold you
here I am, here I am
waiting to hold you
did I dream, you dreamt about me
were you hare, when I was fox
now my foolish boat, is leaning
broken lovelorn on you rocks
for you sing, touch me not
touch me not, come back tomorrow
Oh my heart, oh my heart
shy's from the sorrow
I'm as puzzled as the newborn child
I'm as riddled as the tide
should I stand amid the breakers
or should I lie with death my bride
hear me sing
swim to me
swim to me
let me enfold you
I had a dream last night, a nightmare to be exact
We couldn’t take the heat, and the sweat dripped from our backs
I didn’t go, I waited for the midnight sun
I didn’t want to leave you ‘cause I don’t have anyone
Don’t paint the sun anymore, paint the moon
And the stars, in an autumn sky
Paint me cool blue waters, with shades of gray
Just don’t let me live, my life this way
Without you
Let it go, let it go
Let it fall down from the sky
And leave this world behind
Let it go, let it go
Let it fall down from the sky
And leave this world behind
I saw you suffering so I knelt down by your side
I saw that you were fading, that you were leaving your own mind
I gave you water just to soothe your failing heart
And take away the fears of what we both know we will find
Don’t paint the sun anymore, paint the moon
And the stars, in an autumn sky
Paint me cool blue waters, with shades of gray
Just don’t let me live, my life this way
Without you
Without you
Without you
Without you
Pain, it takes so much pain
To help you feel, if you can?t feel at all
It takes so much pain
To help you feel, if you can?t feel at all
And if you think you need more pain
You can get all that you need
You can get it all for free
Just keep doing what you are
Did somebody tell you that they loved you
Then they said they never loved you?
How did you feel? How did you feel?
It doesn?t really matter how you felt ?cause
You can?t make them love you
That is for sure, that is for real
Pain, it takes so much pain
To help you feel, if you can?t feel at all
It takes so much pain
To help you feel, if you can?t feel at all
And if you think you need more pain
You can get all that you need
You can get it all for free
Just keep doing what you are
Do you really think that it won?t kill you?
?Cause I know that it will kill you
Maybe not now, but you?ll find out how
Don?t tell me that you wanna to end up
With some [Incomprehensible] dumpster
That would be tragic, that would be sad
Baby, please don?t misunderstand me
?Cause I don?t really give a damn
I saw you had a problem and I wanted to help
That?s just how I am
It really doesn?t matter that much to me
Pain, it takes so much pain
To help you feel, if you can?t feel at all
It takes so much pain
To help you feel, if you can?t feel at all
And if you think you need more pain
You can get all that you need
You can get it all for free
If you are lucky, lucky enough today
To have someone
To whom you feel you got something to say
Don?t think it over, don?t let 'em slip away
He read to her from his poetry
But that could never be enough
To really make her see
So he climbed up high into a tree
Made the choice to turn into a leaf
If you are lucky, lucky enough today
To have found a love
To whom you feel you got something to say
Don?t think it over, it?s gonna be okay
Read to her from his poetry
But that could never be enough
To really make her see
So he climbed up high into a tree
Made the choice to turn into a leaf
Read to her from his poetry
But that could never be enough
To really make her see
So he climbed up high into a tree
My funny valentine
Sweet comic valentine
You make me smile with my heart
Your looks are laughable
Unphotographable
Yet you’re my favorite work of art
Is your figure less than greek
Is your mouth a little weak
When you open it to speak
Are you smart?
But don’t change a hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay little valentine stay
Each day is valentine’s day
Is your figure less than greek
Is your mouth a little weak
When you open it to speak
Are you smart?
But don’t you change one hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay little valentine stay
See my smile I can hear your voice
coming from another room
in another land in a house
in a corner of my heart
So be quiet
not make a sound
do not blink now
don't look down
you don't know
you'd never ever know
I've forgotten all my lies
I feel like a fool
in a cold
I don't even know myself
any more
come to me lay down beside me
and close your eyes kiss me sleep
You keep on pushing and you?ll get your answer
But it won?t be the one you want it to be
I think it?s funny how we don?t get storms around here anymore
And the rain, when it comes, it tastes like nothing
I want you to remember me
For things I never did
'Cause no one in this world deserves
To see my happiness
I know what it?s supposed to be like to be young
But it is not the way I thought it would be
My paranoia functioned like a broken mirror
To distort and destroy any clarity and what?s more
I want you to give back to me
The child I never was
'Cause I believed what I was told
Lilacs and tiger-lilies won’t be enough for me when you’re gone
Hollyhocks, gladiolas, will never replace this face
In your little pink house with the blue polka-dots
I learned what I was and what I was not,
Supposed to be
Supposed to be
Supposed to be
Supposed to be
Bleeding heart, lily-of-the-valley
Snapdragon, rambling rose
You’ll never make it in this world
If you’re not one of those
In your little pink house, with the blue polka-dots
I learned what I was and what I was not
Supposed to be
Supposed to be
Supposed to be
Supposed to be
Diadem, orange sensation
Diorama, bell canto,
Baby-Lune, and princess too,
But you were the one I chose
In your little pink house, with the blue polka-dots
I learned what I was and what I was not
Supposed to be
Supposed to be
Supposed to be
Just one vice is all, is all any man needs to make him happy,
This old man, he's got, he's got all he needs to keep him happy.
Just one lie is all you find you can't read, but you are happy,
My advice: why not take two or three if you're feeling lucky.
Hold on tight
Let it eat you from inside
Take you away
You are safe
Just one lie is all, is all any man needs to keep him happy,
My advice: why not take two or three if you're feeling lucky.
Hold on tight
Don't let go
Let it eat you from inside
Take you away
I'm waiting over here
Just to see you, my love
For the last time
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
I love to see you fade and die
I love to see you kicking, screaming
As you try to reach the sky
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
I love to see you fade and die
I love to see you kicking, screaming
As you try to reach the sky and fly
I'm begging you tonight
I want to free you, my love
Just one last time forever
Maybe we could change
We always seem to fall again
We are still alive
We have to give up everything and die
And all I want is you
And all I want is you
So it's over now
And I have loved you with my life
But this is the last time for you
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
I love to see you fade and die
I love to see you kicking, screaming
As you try to reach the sky
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
I love to see you fade and die
I love to see you kicking, screaming
I wanted that, I needed that, I anticipated this, for the longest time
I want to be desired by that
I want it to infatuate me
I want to see if I can overcome, without saying that
If this is what you want, then get used to destruction
If this is what you need, then get used to depression
'cause there's nobody here gonna sit around, and listen to your opinion
If this is what you want, then get used to being alone
When you were a child you laughed and cried, and then somebody filled you full of pride, and we were all there the day your personality died, and we all still feel the loss
but feelings are a little bit steep for you, you've got a lot of things that you must do, like tapping the sap from the apple trees for your own self pity stew
If this is what you want, then get used to rejection
If this is what you need, then get used to suppression
Cause there's nobody here gonna sit around, and listen to your opinion,
You're professional, you are kind, you always say the right things
you show up on time, everyday, smiling doing what you do.
I'd like to get in your skin, to see what I could see from there.
But it isn't that way. Is it, darling?
We're not doing this for you.
The nail that sticks out, must be hammered down, hammered down
Oh, the nail that sticks out, must be hammered down, hammered down
I'd like to do the right thing darling, I'd like to show myself the way to your door
but it isn't that way and it never will be, wait til you see what we've in store for you
What a dream last night
dressed in orgundy
clothed in crinaline
of smoky burgundy
softer than the rain
I wandered empty streets down
past the shop displays
I heard cathedral bells
drifting down the alleyways, as I walked on
and when you ran to me your,
cheeks flushed with the night
we walked through frozen fields
of juniper and lamplight
I held your hand
And when I awoke
and saw you warm and near
I kissed your honey hair
with my grateful tears
You are a drug to me
I never ever thought it otherwise
And I love the lies you told to me
While looking me directly in my eyes
This is not ecstasy
But it's better than cocaine
And you know that I will miss you when you're gone
But I'm not equipped to play this game
You know your words they don't mean
Anything to me
They only serve to fatten up the prey
And when it's time to take them
To the slaughterhouse
You slice their throats, continue on your way
This is not jepoardy
And it's not your high school prom
And you know that I will miss you when you're gone
But I'm not equipped to be your mom
You are a drug to me
I never ever thought it otherwise
And I love the lies you told to me
Didn't you go out in the morning
Didn't you go out in the evening
I was ready for anything
I don't mind, I won't find out anyway,
I'm too blind, to see you at all
Can I have what I feel that I must have
Multiply by ten, that's what I think I need
Overshadow your life
Do you like asphyxiation?
I don't mind, I won't find out anyway, I'm too blind
I need a lot of hope from you, but I forgot I went away instead
I hope I'm not disturbing you,
but I forgot I'm hurting you
I hope I'm not who you need
I hope you're not talkin' 'bout yesterday,
'cause I can't live, I can't live that way
it's all gone now
and you don't know the truth
so you must go now and find the door
I thought that I knew where my heart it had landed
I thought that I?d worked it all out
I thought she?d be willing to hold me at night
And I thought that that?s what I would want
But I was a blind man in love with a demon
And I couldn?t figure it out
Your bright black eyes
Have started to quench the light in my soul
Your bright black eyes
Have started to strip all the sense from my mind
This desert it seems to have no plans of ending
So I have to make it my home
You gave me a chance, now I know I can?t take it
I?d rather just be here alone
Your bright black eyes
Have started to quench the light in my soul
I have let you play me and take me to places
That I thought that I couldn?t find, oh oh
Don?t talk to me about love
This has nothing to do with that word
This is just good old fashioned exploitation
You?re not serious
So just like a dog that returns to his vomit
I guess that I do it because
I get no more pleasure from self-deprecation
It?s not as much fun as it was, oh, oh
Your bright black eyes
Have started to quench the light in my soul
Your bright black eyes
Have started to strip all the sense from my mind
Your bright black eyes
Have started to quench the light in my soul, in my soul
Your bright black eyes
Black is the color of my true love's hair
His face so soft and wondrous fair
The purest eyes
and the strongest hands
I love the ground on where he stands
I love the ground on where he stands
Black is the color of my true love's hair
Of my true love's hair
Of my true love's hair
Oh I love my lover
and where he goes
yes, I love the ground on where he goes
And still I hope
that the time will come
when he and I will be as one
when he and I will be as one
So black is the color of my true love's hair
Black is the color of my true love's hair
Last night I was taking a walk along the river
And I saw him together with a young boy
And the look that he gave made me shiver
'Cause he always used to look at me that way
And I thought maybe
I should walk right up to her and say
Ahhaha, it's a game he likes to play
Look into his angel eyes
One look and you're hypnotized
He'll take your heart
and you must pay the price
Look into his angel eyes
You'll think you're in paradise
And one day you'll find out
he wears a disguise
Don't look too deep
into those angel eyes
Oh no no no no
Sometimes when I'm lonely
I sit and think about him
And it hurts to remember all the good times
When I thought I could never live without him
And I wonder does it have to be the same
Every time when I see him,
will it bring back the pain?
Ahhaha, how can I forget that name?
Look into his angel eyes
One look and you're hypnotized
He'll take your heart
and you must pay the price
Look into his angel eyes
You'll think you're in paradise
And one day you'll find out
he wears a disguise
Don't look too deep into his angel eyes
Crazy 'bout his angel eyes
Angel eyes
Once he took my heart and now I pay the price
Look into his angel eyes
You'll think you're in paradise
And one day you'll find out
he wears a disguise
Don't look too deep into those angel eyes
Oh no no no no
Ahhaha, keep thinking, ahaaaah
Keep thinking 'bout his angel eyes
Ahhaha, keep thinking, ahaaaah
Keep thinking, I had to pay the price
Ahhaha, keep thinking, ahaaaah
Keep thinking 'bout his angel eyes
Ahhaha, keep thinking, ahaaaah
Keep thinking, I had to pay the price
Keep thinking, I had to pay the price
Do you know the heart?
Do you that it can be destroyed?
You can make it go away
You can make it shrivel up and die
Take a look at me
Give me everything you've got
If it's not enough
Make me everything you're not
It's just a side effect of loving you
A nasty soundtrack to the city
He says the effects will recover soon
The situation is dire
