Down in the parking window
I want to make my way
Into the faces flooded
The window spitting gold
But it is so cold
They make my teeth all chatter
Hate it
I like it
I don't know what it is
Stone blind alibi
I will eat the lie
Find the word
Could break any spell that binds you
Prayers like ammonites
Curl beneath the lights
How i long to
Bite every hand that feeds you more
Where d'it all go wrong
My friday night enfant
Where d'it all go wrong
My friday night enfant
All night busz on a line
It's only blood on the rime
Wrecks my head every time
It leads me on
Where d'it all go wrong
My friday night enfant
Where d'it all go wrong
My friday night enfant
Tonight tonight
Tonight i'm running wild i'm running
Tonight i'm running wild i'm running
Tonight i'm running wild i'm running
Tonight i'm running wild i'm running
A web of light divine
Screen to block my view
Head without control
Our tree grown askew
Cynical mass and fruitless passions
Mouthing the words with time
Slowly as the bond unfastens
Catch sight of the mountain in this climb
And I'm spitting out that sentimental syrup
That they like to pour on bitter pills
Wind in my hair, foot in the stirrup
And I'm leaving for the dark hills
Head long the hound
And the bandwagon followed
Deluge of tinsel and fire
Faces turned to stone
For the shroud of lost tomorrow
Sweetly sings the choir
Nothing much on offer here
Except cellophone and laughter
They've even got oxygen, tender
To hold inside a hummingbird
Or weave out of dreams
And to feel just like a butterfly pinned
And I'm spitting out that sentimental syrup
That they like to pour on dollar bills
Wind in my hair, foot in the stirrup
And I'm leaving for the dark hills
Steps that lead to wall
The wall of seduction
And a whole new range of treadmills
Lips that speak no language
But destruction
Hey I'm leaving for the dark hills
I can't seem to get across with my conclusion
Its the billboard, not the bullet that kills
Cut back to the roots of disillusion
Hey I'm leaving for the dark hills
And I'm spitting out that sentimental syrup
That they like to pour on dollar bills
Wind in my hair, foot in the stirrup
And I'm leaving for the dark hills
I'm young but already
There's doubt in my eyes
And I never learned how to pray
So make me feel better
Tell me more lies
Carry me further away
From the blue television
And the idiots kissing
And making excuses
For all that failed
Break it down now
Break it down
Break it
The wind like a dagger
Is tearing my sails
I'm young but already
There's doubt in my eyes
And I never learned how to pray
So make me feel better
Tell me more lies
Carry me further away
From my father and mother
In a room in a tower
Breathing the hours
Like chloroform
And there's something within me
I want to express it
But how do you paint it
When it's got no form
I'm young but already
There's doubt in my eyes
And I never learned what to say
So make me feel better
Tell me more lies
Carry me further away
Now the women are speaking
Of loves that have perished
Of memories cherished
And the fools men are
How many times
How many times
How many
If only
If only
Ans la - la - la
I'm young but already
There's doubt in my eyes
And I never learned how to pray
So make me feel better
Tell me more lies
Tell me more lies
Tell me more
No need to stress
And no need to worry
Soon we'll need no
Time or money
Goin' in over my head
Hear the sound of the sea
On the pebble
Just can't help get
Sentimental
Goin' in over my head
Goin' in over my head
Goin' in over my head
Goin' in over my head
Goin' in over my head
Goin' in over my head
Goin' in over my head
All the striving
All the suffering
Maybe it was
All for nothing
Goin' in over my head
I know these streets
I know these trees
I'm going down
Where the summers freeze
Goin' in over my head
Goin' in over my head
Goin' in over my head
Goin' in over my head
Goin' in over my head
Goin' in over my head
Goin' in over my head
Been a while girl
It's good to see you
Of all the people
to find you here
Goin' in over my head
Wahah
Goin' in over my head
Goin' in over - my head
(faraway)
The night has a million eyes
The night has a million eyes
The night has a million eyes
The city air is poison
But it tastes so sweet
Blowing through your windows this morning
And the sirens in the distance
And the traffic in the street
To my ear it sounds like music for me
And there's no needle in my arm
But I feel so high
No I won't ever come down
But I'm walking through the sunlight
And its brokeness that greats me
In the doorways of this ancient town
And roll it over
Roll it under
If I got you by my side
Well the sky may howl
And the city smolder
I don't need nowhere to hide
Foundations are shaking
Woah spirits aching
Midday burning cold until
I picture your face
It starts a roaring in my head
Like the sea inside an empty shell
Everywhere see innocence,
Faith undermined
Everywhere a hunger and flame
And relentless disillusionment
Praying on the mind
'Till oh, the world is tamed
And roll it over
Roll it under
If I got you by my side
And the sky may howl
And the city smolder
I don't need nowhere to hide
Through the melancoly rain
Darkness of the hills
You know how I feel the pain
But you kiss me and I'm healed
Through the baracades of reasons
Forgotten hopes and seasons
We stand before the waking light
Strange as the years grow dark
My soul catch a spark
And now the minutes never burned so bright
Roll it over
Roll it under
If I got you by my side
And the sky may howl
With tons of thunder
I don't need nowhere to hide
And roll it over
Roll it under
If I got you by my side
And the sky may howl
And the city smolder
I don't need nowhere to hide
Its loud and its clear
I don't need nowhere
Hold on hold on to me hold on hold on to me
Sometimes there's no easy way
Got to cause somebody pain
Watching you you hit so hard on yourself
Cos you need someone to blame
Oh now what will you do
Oh now what will you do
Can't help the way you're feeling
Don't want to leave him so alone
Well I don't want nowhere to go
There's nothing there I need to know
Cause everyday is just the same
In deeper blue, or madder rain
Count the numbers
Check the sums
Hand it father down to son
Better find someone to blame
For madder rain
Madder rain
Madder rain
Madder rain
I don't want no one to see
The fear I hide inside of me
The tear that fall now on my shoe
A thousand miles away from you
No use to hide
Nowhere to run
Still hear it falling in the sun
So grab your gun and take a train
For madder rain
Madder rain
Madder rain
Madder rain
Washing you cold
Washing you numb
Washing you further from the one
So fuck it all and laugh again
At madder rain
Madder rain
Madder rain
Madder rain
Madder rain
Madder rain
Madder rain
Slowly the truth is loading
I'm weighted down with love
Snow lying deep and even
Strung out and dreaming of
Night falling on the city
Quite something to behold
Don't it just look so pretty
This disappearing world
We're threading hope like fire
Down through the desperate blood
Down through the trailing wire
Into the leafless wood
Night falling on the city
Quite something to behold
Don't it just look so pretty
This disappearing world
This disappearing world
I'll be sticking right there with it
I'll be by your side
Sailing like a silver bullet
Hit 'em 'tween the eyes
Through the smoke and rising water
Cross the great divide
Baby till it all feels right
Night falling on the city
Sparkling red and gold
Don't it just look so pretty
This disappearing world
This disappearing world
This disappearing world
Hear the warning
Read the sign
written here
Between the lines
Whispering poison valentines
To the love in me
Pull the blade out
From the fire
Crucify my own desire
Chase it off
Down to the wire
For the love in me
Milk of kindness
Bread of dreams
Belly's bursting at the seams
Cigarettes and magazines
For the love in me
Through it all
This heart of mine
Leaving me so far behind
All this world
Just made of breath
Every line get's done to death
Nothing here to face it with
Except the love in me
Through it all
This heart of mine
Leaving me so far behind
Meet me darling
On the steps
Paint the line upon your lips
Open with
Your fingertips
All the love in me
All the love in me
All the love in me
Maybe that it would do me good
If I believed there were a god
Cut in the starry firmament
But as it is that's just a lie
And I'm here eating up the boredom
On an island of cement
Give me your ecstasy I'll feel it
Open window and I'll steal it
Baby like it's heaven sent
This ain't no love that's guiding me
Some days i'm bursting at the seams
With all my half remembered dreams
And then it shoots me down again
I feel the dampness as it creeps
I hear you coughing in your sleep
Beneath a broken window pane
Tomorrow girl i'll buy you chips
A lollipop to stain your lips
And it'll all be right as rain
This ain't no love that's guiding me
This ain't no love that's guiding me
No it ain't no love guiding me
No it ain't no love guiding me
No it ain't no love guiding me
This ain't no love that's guiding me
This ain't no love that's guiding me
On winter trees the fruit of rain
Is hanging trembling in the branches
Like a thousand diamond buds
And waiting there in every pause
That old familiar fear that claws you
Tells you nothing ain't no good
Then pulling back you see it all
Down here so laughable and small
Hardly a quiver in the dirt
Just a little something for the pain
Hospital food getting you down?
Honey now I'm not one to complain
But this hangin' around
Is wearing me out
So patch me up boys take me home
Are you not hearing a word I say?
She sounds so different on the phone
I just sink like a stone
Back to the bay
Tell me something
Tell me something
I don't already know
Tell me something
Tell me something I don't know
Don't seem to have that much to show
For all the hard work, the sweat and toil
You say 'well that's right', and you should know
You've been there before
You've basked in the glow
You've stood in the roar
You've tasted the snow
Tell me something
Tell me something
I don't already know
Tell me something
Tell me something
I don't already
Seeing it all so beautiful
The way it oughta be
Seeing it all so beautiful
And turning away
Turning away
Turning away
Tell me something
Tell me something
I don't already know
Tell me something
Tell me something
Come the weekend
And we'll long gone baby
Just like the old days
Letting the world flow through me
Just a parasite in a line
I'm smoking, killing the time
How long's a piece of twine
What use is sympathy
From here you can almost see the sea
If you would hold still
Could make a clean incision
Then we could sit back
And watch the demolition
Little puppy dog in a box
Somebody's picking the locks
Must want the darn from the socks
Here comes the cavalry
From here you can almost see the sea
Just another fool in the line
I dream of high clouds
Flushed with the light of daybreak
I'm gonna dive in
To water so cold it makes your bones ache
Fingers, knees and knuckles scraped
All of the rubbish heaped
A piece of cardboard taped
Up where the bedroom window pane used to be
From here you can almost
From here you can almost see the sea
Just another fool in the line
Just another fool in the line
I saw a film once
Where all the airholes froze up
A killer whale swam
Under the blue ice
Four o'clock in the morning
Born on the sea
The night is rattling
With burglar alarm oh yeah
The night explode
The night explode
Flower by your window side
Autumn is graceful
Unladen with memory
And the wonders die
Seven o'clock in the evening
Watching TV show
Kissing your dark hair
Its your head against the sunset
And the harbor below
It's the cruelest thing
The cruelest thing
That I've ever known
Just time and circumstance
Taking their toll
As the storm beats and rolls
Your bed was a warm bed
Warm bed in the cold room
Always the same pictures on the wall
With some love in the morning
With your dog at your pillow
And a half empty bottle of baby oil
Oh seven o'clock in the evening
Born around the sea
Night is rattling
With burglar alarms
Oh their ringing out for me
The cruelest thing
The cruelest thing
That I've ever known
Time and circumstance
Taking their toll
As the storm beat and roll
Take this silver lining
Keep it in your own sweet head
Shine it when the night is burning red
Shine it in the twilight
Shine it on the cold cold ground
Shine it till these walls come
Tumbling down
We were born with our eyes wide open
So alive with wild hope
Now can you tell me why
Time after time
They drag you down
Down in the darkness deep
Fools in their madness all around
Know that the light don't sleep
Step into the silence
Take it in your own two hands
And scatter it like diamonds
All across these lands
Blaze it in the morning
Wear it like an iron skin
Only things worth living for
Innocence and magic-amen
We were born with our eyes wide open
So alive with wild hope
Now can you tell me why
Time after time
They drag you down
Down in the darkness deep
Fools in their madness all around
Know that the light don't sleep
We were born with our eyes wide open
So alive with wild hope
Now can you tell me why
Time after time
They drag you down
Down with talk so cheap
Fools in their madness all around
-Know that the light don't sleep
-Know that the light don't sleep
Time after time
They drag you down
Down in the darkness deep
Fools in their madness all around
-Know that the light don't sleep
As I'm leaving a change comes on my eyes
These streets persuading me with mumbles strange goodbyes
And through the water through the ring
To the soil of everything
Throw my heart out on the stones
And I'm almost gone
And there's no meaning in clothes and coffee cups
Cheap hotel furniture where silence never stops
And through the water through the ring
To the soil of everything
Throw my heart out on the stones
And I'm almost gone
And now I'm dreaming I'm staring at the walls
At cars all frozen now in late night winterfalls
And through the water through the ring
To the soil of everything
Throw my heart out on the stones
We are lovers girl, me and you
small faced lovers girl oh
you know its true
Get through the winter time
and the spring sun starts to grow
I'm your white faced lover girl
oh don't you know
You're so warm with me
i never feel the cold
what have you done with me i've never felt this old
come through the orange summer
and stand and watch the red leaves fall
maybe by next summertime
we'll have forgotten it all
ah, we are lovers girl, me and you
small faced girl, you know it's true
come through the orange summer
and stand and watch the red leaves fall
maybe by next summertime
Morning, sit in the morning sun
Evening, watching the shadow come
Through the bright streets of London
I feel the rain
Upon my eyes as I wonder
At this spell that I'm under, Magdalen
Since you came along
Meet me with your arms of snow and
Meet me with your mouth undone
I'm burning up from head to tow eh
Magdalena when you're gone
Dreaming, we're drinking the night away
Talking, way past the break of day
Through the bright streets of London
I feel the rain
Upon my eyes as I wonder
At this spell that I'm under, Magdalen
Since you came along
Meet me with your arms of snow and
Meet me with your mouth undone
I'm burning up from head to tow eh
Magdalena when you're gone
Nananananananananananananana
Nananananananananananananana
Meet me with your arms of snow and
Meet me with your mouth undone
I'm burning up from head to tow eh
Hold on to nothing
Hold on to coldest steel
It chills you down inside
When you see just what is real
Paste it up and tear it down
Move it on along the rushing road
Seventeen Fahrenheit
Feel the winter grow
There's nowhere to write it
There's nowhere to write it
There's nowhere to write it down
There's nowhere to write it
There's nowhere to write it
There's nowhere to write it down
Nowhere to write it down
Write it down
Step down the alley
Walking against the stony crowd
Trying not to listen
But they shout so loud
Chew you up and spit you out
Crush you between its finger and its thumb
The world in all its anger
Oh and there's always more to come
There's nowhere to write it
There's nowhere to write it
There's nowhere to write it down
There's nowhere to write it
There's nowhere to write it
There's nowhere to write it down
Nowhere to write it down
Tuesday my heart is brimming
I'm a child in the wild wind
dead leaves and daylight dimming
no beginning and no end
inside a candle of defiance
moonlight
a river of pearls
Cause we're going to need more
than money and science
to see us through this world
You say it can't be done
you'd rather die of fun
get out of the way
for me for you for everyone
forever is tomorrow is today
Shut all the windows
shut all the doors
we're keeping it all out of sight
we're keeping it all
it's tearing us apart
you don't know your good
from your bad from your black
from your blood from your wrong
from your right
so you camouflage your heart
I don't want no other distractions
there's too much here to see
faint hearts or jaded reactions
contraptions of history
You say it can't be done
you'd rather die of fun
get out of the way
for me for you for everyone
forever is tomorrow is today
Shut all the windows
shut all the doors
I'm keeping it all out of sight
I'm keeping it all
it's mine and mine alone
corrosion collision
I need a vision
to tear off the cloak of the night
and shatter eyes of stone
You say it can't be done
you'd rather die of fun
get out of the way
for me for you for everyone
forever is tomorrow is today
forever is tomorrow is today
forever is tomorrow is today
Hey now, you got me by the tongue
I feel like there's nowhere I belong
And they're working it pretty hard
And they're selling it by the yard
But its more than I can afford
That's all that I know
Leader, it comes as no surprise
See now, these are coins that were his eyes
Silver dollars and hoods of steel
Tell me nothing can be revealed
The more you get it the less you feel
That's all that I know
Starts a shivering in my spine
And a fever I can't define
It gets colder the higher you climb
That's all that I know
You kill me with every word you say
I'm dead now, along with faith and chivalry
Silver dollars and hoods of steel
Tell me nothing can be revealed
The more you get it the less you feel
That's all that I know
Colder the higher you climb
Colder the higher you climb
Colder the higher you climb
I have waited the night over
For some word to come
I asked the moon o'er the clover
But the moon she is dumb
You have made me a promise
At midnight we'd go
And that we should be married
Sailing westward ho
Such words you have spoken
You have told me a lie
That it could not be broken
When you knew it must die
There's no light in heaven
My eye can see
That my heart be imprisoned
While the devil go free
Go free
Like honey the ocean
In the morning breeze
I'll take my tears to the water
That the rivers may freeze
There's no light in heaven
Can shine for me
That my heart be imprisoned
While the devil go free
Go free
What folly is beauty
What trick of the skin
Desire it's fancy
And ruin its whim
Your child within me
And what can I do
My blood fill with needles
That he look like you
There's no light in heaven
My eye can see
That my heart be imprisoned
While the devil go free
My heart be imprisoned
While the devil go free
No light in heaven
These days spent staring at your photograph
Read your letter, made me laugh
But there's a shadow on the path
Till I know if your love is real
Cause its not as if a lot was said
Falling in and falling out of bed
But now the world's turned on its head
Till I know if your love is real
Spend a long time now, persuading myself
That I don't need no-one, nobody else
That I'd felt all there was to feel
I'm in a daydream now, I'm out to lunch
Should it come down to the crunch I'm wide open for that sucker punch
Till I know if your love is real
Till I know if your love is real
Spend a long time now, persuading myself
That I don't need no-one, nobody else that
I felt all there was to feel
Know if I should live one hundred years
I'll never see another face like yours
Or stranger seas, or brighter shores
Without a word, you set your sights into the sun
When all the world, you put to rights is still so wrong
Pin your heart out on your sleeve spouting all that make believe
From your lips it seems they might come true
Falling down the mountainside with you
The clothes you wore, the people stared you looked so strange
To see you move, St. Vitus' dance was in your veins
Never once afraid to know, what it feels like when you go
Out beyond where logic keeps the view
Falling down the mountainside with you
Falling down
If you were here first thing I'd do is knock you down
You left me cold, to meet your ghost all over town
So grind the stone and spin the wheel
Lock the doors, on what you feel
Looking back, it's like i always knew
I'd be falling down the mountainside with you
Falling down the mountainside with you
Falling down the mountainside with you
Down from the doorway
And into the street
I hear the morning bell
Over and over the pattern repeat
I hear the morning bell
And all the faces cold as stone
In the January chill
You have led me into worlds unknown
And I'm walking there still
Everytime now
Everytime now
I think of you mine now
I just can't contain
I'm seven feet tall and
There's nightingales calling
Shooting stars falling
Like jewels in the rain
I ask myself I ask myself
Can this life be the same
That spun me round and put me down
And fill me up with shame
And all the heads are turning now
Down the Tottenham court road
Cause I just can't help but sing it out
Case I just might explode
Everytime now
Everytime now
I think of you mine now
I can't comprehend
The saxophones blowing
Cherry trees growing
Right here in my hand
A dance in the moonlight
So high on a June night
Magazines strewn right
Over the chair
Your spine a white ladder
Your eyes singing sadder
Nothing else seems to matter
As soon as you're there
And everytime now
Everytime now
I think of you mine now
I just can't contain
I'm seven feet tall and
There's nightingales calling
Shooting stars falling
Like jewels in the rain
Everytime now
Everytime now
Everytime now
Everytime
Lightening strikes, silver motorbikes
Roaring down the open road, wind on my skin
I'm hungry to begin, my cup has overflown
So let fall the rain down into these desert veins
Taking back what they stole
These diamonds in the mine
Can afford to become fine
In someone else's pigeon hole
So I made up my mind
Made up my mind
Gonna move on ahead
Instead of lagging behind
Half past seven way up in the heaven
The stars are singing in the sky
Lying half dressed, your head upon my breast
Listening to the ocean's lullaby
Standing where we are, it seems so far
From the cold light of day
With the faces full of grief,
And the grinding up of teeth
Has been eating my belief away
So I made up my mind
I made up my mind
Gonna move on ahead
Instead of lagging behind
Instead of lagging now..
Cracks in the veneer and the light so severe
Shining down the avenue try to join the throng
But it's feeling all wrong what are you supposed to do
Shoulder that despair take a lung of dirty air
Turn to watch the sun set red
And the ruins of a culture
Of a sky that's filled with vultures
Circling over your head
So I made up my mind
I made up my mind
Gonna move on ahead
Instead of lagging behind
Instead of lagging behind
All of my senses overthrown
By the might of your skin
And the lamplight on your cheek bone
Drawing me further in
No sentence I can speak
For the wonder so unique
Breaking like a wave upon the shore
Mercy me, I'm falling free
Since you opened up the door
See how the sky is made of sapphire
The colours flowing through our hands
The moon is fire in your hair
A million miles beyond what science understands
Smell that mountain heaven
I don't remember ever
Feeling like this before
Mercy me, I'm falling free
Since you opened up the door
And if every window pane should shatter
If every wall should fall apart
Well it might hurt a bit
But would it matter
With this diamond in my heart
There's no need to nail it to the ground
There's no need to smother it with sense
Just listen to the rhythm of your heart
That pounds and trust it all to chance
'cause we're standing face to face
With the Angel of grace
And don't it just taste so pure
Mercy me, I'm falling free
Mercy me, I'm falling free
Mercy me, I'm falling free
If I lean my weight on it
If I fix my heart to the line
Might find a way from it
To some easy time
My skins all white with it
I'm up so high when I fall
I fall so far from it
Ain't nowhere at all
Early morning sun
Shine it and I'm gone
To plane out on the lake
Hey hey yeah yeah
To glide out on the wing
Turn around and sing
The fear now taking hold
I'll bring you love but it's all been sold
My heads all wired with it
My tongue gets tied when I speak
The space inside roaring
When that signal break
Early morning sun
Shine it and I'm gone
To plane out on the lake
Hey hey yeah yeah
To glide out on the wing
Turn around and see
The fire now taking hold
Smoke curls through my hands
These one night stands
Are making me crazy I know
Morning I'll go
Crowds in the rain all passing by
Faith gone from your eyes
Each word that flies
Taking you further away
And come that day
There ain't no easy way to cry
And as I watch you leave I stand
Inside my house of straw
And everywhere I go I find
Things recollecting to my mind
How right it all could be
Faith gone from your eyes
Each word it flies
Straight to the heart and I know
Watching you go
There ain't no easy way to cry
So right now
So right now
So right now
So right
And as I watch you leave I stand
Inside my house of straw
And everywhere I go I find
Things recollecting to my mind
How right it all could be
Could be
So right now
So right now
So right now
So right now
So right now
So right now
So right
Don't pay no mind to it
Oh let it blow
Break you up inside
If you don't let it go
Jeez what are you like honey
I don't know
Recommended by my bank
And everybody in the tank
First of all I'd like to thank
This might take a while honey
Hey don't blink
Missing by a mile now we're
Here on the brink
Not a day goes by honey
I don't think
I could be your volunteer
We'll make the whole thing disappear
Saddle up we're outta here
You could be my olive branch
Lift me up above the stench
Walk me through the avalanche
Honey won't you be my flood
Nothing ever comes out good
Trouble in the neighbourhood
Conversations gone askew
And how do you make it fell like new
Kookaburra kangaroo
Will you won't you be my leach
Take it all and when I screech
Leave it there just outta reach
Take me to that burning bush
Give me something I can't crush
Lead me out into the hush
So far behind
So far behind
So far behind
All my tears will dry away
All my tears will dry away
All my tears will dry away Words don't bother me no more
Black money falling to the floor
Flags out on the balconies
Black money washing to the seas
Oh my mind
What happened to the time
December
All my house got blown away
All my house got blown away
All my house and all my home
Walls of glass and walls of stone
Got blown away
Stations in the neon light
Your body strange as dynamite
Killers underneath our skins
Black mirrors black hyacinths
Oh my eyes
What happened to the skies
December
December
I care little for my body she said
I couldn't care less about my soul
And as she led me upstairs in whispers
My whole summer turned cold
I'll lead you upstairs
I'll lead you upstairs
If you've got no worries
Then I've got no cares
I'll lead you upstairs
I told her people had been talking
About how dark she was inside
She said said my hopes are buried in the soil Deep in the earth outside
And with one twist of the world
She brought me to her side
She asked me for the truth one time
In the bitter violet night
The stars wear sour grins
In the vastness of the black sky
I'm cradled in your arms
Unbridled by alarm
'cos I know the end is night
It's all over bar the shoutin'
One things for sure
Its all over now
Its all over now
Confusion wanders in
Strides the evening like a king
Chaos and turmoil prevail
Bedlam reigns, hope all is drowned
Ah but strangely we settle down
Resigned to the sinking ship on which we sail
Our love's just smithereens
Too much beer in my head
Another night is getting late
And I don't know where to go
There's just this long white road
And I can't think straight
Cast your eyes into the distance
Try to focus on it all
Find a spirit of resistance
Instead of pride before the fall
Forge some opposition
From disparate strands
It ain't the prettiest position
As a century ends
Unstable situation
Faces made of wax
Streams of melting glass
Sheets of butchered facts
The roar of the machine
Hooded hearts and jewelled hands
And anger spilling out like gasoline
As a century ends
Everything I seen, everything that I heard
It ain't even the tip of the iceberg
Fire down memory lane
So pass me my rose tinted glasses again
Through a fog of contradiction
Out to the lake of tears
See society admiring it's own reflection
Chase a light that shines and disappears
Careful what you say, 'cos reality offends
Just sit back and let your soul decay
As a century ends
And it's easy to get weary
As you fight to get it done
Gainst a popular theory
That it's over 'fore it's even begun
Strain the limit of compassion
Tend a wound that never mends
And honesty still out of fashion
Ever since your fingertips
Ever since your eyes
Talking with the lights on
Bluer skies
Even if I wanted to
How could I explain
Coming through my head now this
Tidal wave
All your favourite eyelashes
All your bluest skin
Bring them and I'll meet you in
That room again
Even if I told it true
Why should they believe
Coming through my head now this
Tidal wave
Tidal wave
Coming over waterloo
Dreaming of your hands
Want to run away now
Foreign lands
Even as I lie with you
Listen to you breathe
Coming through my head
Yeah this tidal wave
Tidal wave
Watch the twilight from my head
Hanging on a brighter thread
Little darling, till I see you once again
Tell the man to fill my cup
Honey I ain't gonna stop
Little darling, till I see you once again
Pinch me if I'm dreaming
I'm somewhere I've never been
When you lead me by my hand into the flame
Just the rain now on my hat
In the past what use is that
White ladder
Water and wine
Forever crying
Oh time
Don't wanna feel tonight
There's no rhyme or reason to life
This sweet life
White river
Thunder and war
Forever crying
Oh no
Don't wanna feel tonight
Ther's no rhyme or reason to life
This seet life
To the night another body
To the night another name
To the night another valentine
A burning flame
To the night another body
To the night another name
To the night another valentine
A burning flame
White ladder
Water and wine
Ghost on the highway
Bird with metal wings
Ghost on the highway
Bird with metal wings
Crowd all around me
Just don't hear a thing
Ghost on the highway
Bird with metal wings
What am I doing wrong
What am I doing wrong
What am I doing wrong
What am I doing tell me
You don't telephone
You don't telephone
You don't telephone
You don't telephone me
Stand in the doorway
There in yellow light
Down in the doorway
Bathed in morning light
Saw you before me
Thought maybe it might
Down in the doorway
Under yellow light
What am I doing wrong
What am I doing wrong
What am I doing wrong
What am I doing tell me
You don't telephone
You don't telephone
You don't telephone
You don't telephone me
You never spoke a word
But its over
I saw the way you turned your head
You never spoke a word
But its understood
What am I doing wrong
What am I doing wrong
What am I doing wrong
What am I doing tell me
She don't telephone
She don't telephone
She don't telephone
She don't telephone me
Sitting here late at night
Sitting here late at night
My heart is aching
Heard it all before
What am I doing wrong
What am I doing wrong
What am I doing wrong
The draft blew cold under the door
When we threw wour clothes to the kitchen floor
The broccoli boils in the pan on the gas stove where you stand
Won't you take this spatula in your hand?
Let the rice burn
It cannot deter my love for you
we have no concern
under the hem of the night
under the hem of the night
Out on the roof over havoc streets
Where the sky is a blanket each sweet kiss
so melodramatic embroidered by shadows
by the fridge I reminice
Let the rice burn
It cannot deter my love for you
we have no concern
under the hem of the night
under the hem of the night
we stagger in the doorway and all of the sudden
the drum of the rain on the heather hills
now everything's changed and our silence is bitter
and you are all unhinged
Let the rice burn
It cannot deter my love for you
we have no concern
we have no concern
oh we have no concern
Gonna close my eyes
Girl and watch you go
Running through this life darling
Like a field of snow
As the tracer glides
In its graceful arc
Send a little prayer out to ya
'cross the falling dark
Tell the repo man
And the stars above
You're the one I love
Perfect summers night
Not a wind that breathes
Just the bullets whispering gentle
'mongst the new green leaves
There's things I might have said
Only wish I could
Now I'm leaking life faster
Then I'm leaking blood
Tell the repo man
And the stars above
You're the one I love
You're the one I love
The one I love
Don't see Elysium
Don't see no fiery hell
Just the lights up bright baby
In the bay hotel
Next wave coming in
Like an ocean roar
Won't you take my hand darling
On that old dancefloor
We can twist and shout
Do the turtle dove
And you're the one I love
You're the one I love
While I was watching you did a slow dissolve
While I was watching you did a slow dissolve
While I was watching you did a slow dissolve
Did I imagine or do the walls have eyes
Did I imagine they held us hypnotized
Did I imagine or do the walls have eyes
Life in slow motion somehow it don't feel real
Life in slow motion somehow it don't feel real
Life in slow motion somehow it don't feel real
Snowflakes are falling I'll catch them in my hands
Snowflakes are falling I'll catch them in my hands
I beg to differ
To break the chain
To draw a line right through
Tomorrow
And cancel every claim
I've seen reflections
Beneath my skin
And drums beating for battle
In the eyes of children
And turning it over
Right down
Where the eye don't see no colour
Where the war don't make a sound
Ice on the shoulder
Noel
Praise the Lord above
And sell sell sell
Oh violent flowers
You fill the screen
Betray your mother
And change your name
So tall and fickle
And blind as snow
Running headfirst for oblivion
Cause you've nowhere else to go
And turning it over
Right down
Where the eye don't see no colour
Where the war don't make a sound
Ice on the shoulder
Noel
Praise the Lord above
And sell sell sell
In chill of winter
In dead of night
Each so familiar with the hunger
That they got no appetite
They talk of loving
I hear her say
That as fast as I can give it
He's taking it away
And turning it over
Right down
Where the eye don't see no colour
Where the war don't make a sound
Ice on the shoulder
Noel
Praise the Lord above
And sell sell sell
And turning it over
Right down
Where the eye don't see no colour
Where the war don't make a sound
Ice on the shoulder
Noel
Praise the Lord above
And sell sell sell
A weeping willow
The desert wind
So many learn to swallow
So few to understand
The deepest longing
This cup of faith
Where to put them in a world
Paint me a boat, away I'll float
Into the stillness of a pure blue sky
There's nothing here to hold me now
And I got no more tears to cry
Grant me a wish, just one more kiss
Baby kiss me till the daylight's through
These are days that make you blue
And there ain't nothing more a fool can do
In and out of dreams all day
Cos tonight I'll dream about
Baby let's go walk away this time
Sing me the truth sweet bird of youth
I got some trouble trying to understand
Beneath the veils of mystery
Are these the movements of an unseen hand
Our arms are filled with sunken treasure
Our heads are filled with perfect sound
Do we truly see it, hey
Till we're placing it in the ground
Take just what you need from me
Cos tonight I'll dream about
Baby let's go walk away this time
Want to take you all away this time
Don't matter, lie to me, I'm falling
Don't need your light on me, no no
Don't need your light on me?
Paint me a boat, away I'll float
Was there in your cage
When your lion got tamed
Was up on your stage
When your childhood flamed
The sorrow and rage
But it ain't no game to me now
All the lights in London shining now
Slow ye down and stay awhile
All the lights in London shining now
Standing in line
With these abstract gifts
Counting the time
As the dragnet shifts
A quarter to nine
And the gray cloud lifts away now
All the lights in London shining now
Slow ye down and stay awhile
All the lights in London falling down
Hearing you say
With your perspect's tongue
Walking the way
Where the dreams get flung
Was never your thing
When it all goes wrong to worry, whoa
All the lights in London shining now
Slow ye down and stay awhile
All the lights in London shining now
Telling a lie
'Cause the truth just stinks
Out in the mud
Where the lightning sinks
Wishing you could
As the strip light blinks away now, whoa
All the lights in London shining now
Slow ye down and stay awhile
All the lights in London falling down
All of London falling down
All of London falling down
The hour is out of joint
Black sun has risen
And the river of words
Is flowing on through
The cages of tradition
They're handing out emptiness
We'll take it, cos it's given
Free with this plastic innocence
And these standards of living
Questions, lighted questions
Burnin' holes into my head
Hanging like shadows o'er the sun
Staring out like the eyes of the dead
And sometimes my soul flickers
As the wind of change blows cold
Over the mire of repetition
Down the corridors of rigmarole
What I say, what I think
What I put down in ink
I'm only tryin' to find a way to understand
And I mean no harm
I'm just searching for calm
In the storm of mankind
Do you find it there
In the sea of faces
That drowns you every day
Or in the silence and rubble and empty spaces
Where children and rottweilers play
Is it buried in the praise
Given so cheap
With a meaningless movement of the jaws
In the looking glass
That flatters you
Or in the rattle of hollow applause
Blind circle, moon and sun
Body willing, mind undone
One pain ending while another begins
Lies, ruin, disease
Into wounds like these
Let the truth sting
From the hub to the limit
Through the urban hollows
Out into the poles of the extreme
To echo through the numbness
Of these godless minutes
In the shadow of delusion's regime
But here watching the night
As it opens like a flower
And the day starts to rust
Feeling time pound
Like a silent hammer
On this empire of dust
And I'm thinking about the bullet
And the TV screen, the dollar, and the clenched fist
And if we're searching for peace
How come we still believe
In hatred as the catalyst
Through the borderline
In front and behind
Down the road of thorns
Between the barbwire and the soul
Bitters and chains
Is all that remains
Where the wheel has rolled
I feel it from the pit of my stomach
Into the ditch of my mind
Inside the chambers of my heart
As I stare half blind
At these walls of cardboard
At this space that I've rented
At your beauty that is crumbling
Though you try so hard to prevent it
On and on
Body willing, mind undone
One pain ending while another begins
Lies, ruin, disease
Into wounds like these
Let the truth sting
Let the truth sting
That the sky would lift
That I?d find my place
That I?d see your face in the door
And the sun would glint
On a time well spent
On a time that ain?t no more
Takes the broken hearts
In the vacant lots
To see the fruit that rots on the trees
Had to turn my head
Leave it all for dead
But it?s in my mind always
Honey, lately, I?ve been way down
Load on my mind
Honey, lately, I?ve been way down
Load on my mind
Someone tell me where did it go
Darling, I'm damned if I know
I seen that look in your eye
No one ever gave it a chance
I could have said in advance
You saw it all at a glance
And goodbye, goodbye
Drag a salted kiss
From this cup of bliss
Watch a new lie twist on the breeze
You can paint it red
Or leave it all for dead
But it?s in my head always
Honey, lately, I've been way down
Load on my mind
Honey, lately, I've been way down
Load on my mind
Someone tell me where did it go
Darling, I'm damned if I know
I seen that look in your eye
No one ever gave it a chance
I could have said in advance
You saw it all at a glance
And goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Now, honey, lately
Yeah, honey, lately
Honey, lately, I've been way down
Yeah, honey, lately, I've been way down
Yeah, honey, lately, I've been way down
Honey, lately, I've been way down
Lately
Oh Mary Jane
She step on a train
Head for the city lights
Yearning inside
To swim with the tide
And taste it, alright
Bag on her shoulder
Breathing the cold
There by the metal tracks
She saw it all shine
And swore in her mind
She'd never go back
And she don't mind the late night
Late night radio
She don't mind the late night radio
She don't mind the late night
Late night radio
Na na
Couldn't have dreamed
The things that she seen
There on the avenue
She stared right into a million eyes
That looked her right through
Telling Red Joe
The places she'd go
And wiping the table clean
She got no idea
The demon of fear
Or what a broken heart mean
And she don't mind the late night
Late night radio
She don't mind the late night radio
She don't mind the late night
Late night radio
Na na na na na not at all
Na na na na na not at all
Na na na na na not at all
Na na
New York was dark
Dirty and stark
Burning with yellow wings
Everyday come
With fever and hum
Who knows what it brings
Walking a wall
Without a thought
To fall and hit the ground
Sweet Mary Jane
With eyes like the rain
Alive to the sound
And she don't mind the late night
Late night radio
She don't mind the late night radio
She don't mind the late night
Late night radio
And she don't mind the late night
Late night radio
She don't mind the late night radio
She don't mind the late night
Late night radio
Tuesday my heart is brimming
I'm a child in the wild wind
Dead leaves and daylight dimming
No beginning and no end
Inside a candle of defiance
Moonlight
A river of pearls
Cause we're going to need more
Than money and science
To see us through this world
You say it can't be done
You'd rather die of fun
Get out of the way
For me for you for everyone
Forever is tomorrow is today
Shut all the windows
Shut all the doors
We're keeping it all out of sight
We're keeping it all
It's tearing us apart
You don't know your good
From your bad from your black
From your blood from your wrong
From your right
So you camouflage your heart
I don't want no other distractions
There's too much here to see
Faint hearts or jaded reactions
Contraptions of history
You say it can't be done
You'd rather die of fun
Get out of the way
For me for you for everyone
Forever is tomorrow is today
Shut all the windows
Shut all the doors
I'm keeping it all out of sight
I'm keeping it all
It's mine and mine alone
Corrosion collision
I need a vision
To tear off the cloak of the night
And shatter eyes of stone
You say it can't be done
You'd rather die of fun
Get out of the way
For me for you for everyone
Forever is tomorrow is today
Forever is tomorrow is today
I got no reason
But that I must
Maybe I feel
Like I've been gatherin' dust
I must leave this harbour for the sea
I'm too young to settle down and make a home
But I don't know where I'm wanting to be
I just know I have to be there alone
Stole my time, all my time
Stole my time for you
Pale winter sun
Is beatin' the ground
Why'm I throwin' away
The best thing that I've found
My young heart's in tatters and I'm sure
That it will be a long time healing
It's so hard to see what I'm doing this for
When loneliness is all that I'm feeling
Stole my time, all my time
Spend my time, for you
Now the wind it is blowing
Blowing leaves from the trees
I've got no use knowing
That with time it'll ease
I don't know where I'm going
Hope I get there soon
Cos my soul is hollow
As the sorrowful moon
Na na na na...
The night is raining on my weary head
Taking me back
See the sun spread its wings of gold
As the dawn unfurls
Hear the song that the moon sings
To the darkened world
Feel the fire lighting
In the bitter cold
It's like the light that shines
Is the answer none of the above?
Crouched in a hole like a mud-streaked fugitive
Every day a different version of
Pouring it away like water through a sieve
Hey, better realize my friend
Lord in the end, now you can't take it with
Gotta live
If only for a second
I see it twinkling in your eye, gotta try
Well, it's flesh and blood and camouflage
Into the wall, now something's gotta give
Just another act of sabotage
Seen through the haze of a mind-rot sedative
When will you realize my friend?
Lord in the end, now you can't take it with
Gotta live
If only for a second
I see it twinkling in your eye, gotta try
The world that you're forsaking
Is surely more than just a lie, gotta try, yeah
Hey, better realize my friend
Lord in the end, now you can't take it with
Gotta live
If only for a second
I see it twinkling in your eye, gotta try
The world that you're forsaking
Is surely more than just a lie, gotta try
It's all there for the taking
And you don't need to justify, gotta try
I went looking for someone I left behind
Yeah but no-one just a stranger did I find
I never noticed hadn't seen it as it grew
The void between us where the flame turns blue
Different places yeah but they all look the same
Dreams of faces in the streets devoured by names
I'm in collision with every stone I ever threw
And blind ambition where the flame turns blue
Words dismantled hey and all the books unbound
Conversations though we utter not a sound
I heard a rumour don't know if it's true
That you'd meet me where the flame turns blue
So I venture underneath the leaden sky
See the freight train with its one fierce eye
And then I listen as it tears the night in two
And a whistle and the flame turns blue
In the morning I will sing
In the morning I will sing
Through the lemon trees the diamonds of light
Break in splinters on the pages where I write
That if I lost you I don't know what I'd do
Burn forever where the flame turns blue
Yeah if I lost you I don't know what I'd do
Burn forever where the flame turns blue
In the morning I will sing In the morning I will sing
In the morning I will sing
Jane, oh now Jane
You got me like a dog, oh now Jane
It's hard biding my time
You're sitting pretty in the light
For your word know when i'm gone you'll cry for me
Cause oh, since i see those lonely eyes of fire in your skin
Well all the world i had known, turned into shadow, into stone
For your word know when i'm gone you'll cry for me
And oh when i'm gone you'll cry
All the things you used to tell me
Make me feel so sure
Now i don't know what's wrong or what's right anymore
Gave you my ring and you smile to receive it
Down at the station you said goodbye
That our love be lost, who am i to believe it
Now i can't find no easy summer
That's why
These three months are gone
Wait by the door and no letter come
Today i walk in a dream
Through the streets, out to the stream
Where we lay, i know when i'm gone you'll cry for me
Now tongues they can talk
Just how they want i know in my heart
What's true but oh when i stings
I'm terrified of all the things
I might do, and oh when i'm gone you'll cry for me
And oh when i'm gone you'll cry
All the things you used to tell me
Make me feel so sure
Now i don't know what's wrong or what's right anymore
Gave you my ring and you smile to receive it
Down at the station you said goodbye
That our love be lost, who am i to believe it
Now i can't find no easy summer
My panic than intent
More luck than good judgment
They're raising your body
From the ground
The dreamer has woken
The spirit has spoken
They're raising your body
From the ground
What you gonna do
When the rain comes
Through on your pretty head?
Is it so easy to pretend?
Like vision of [Incomprehensible]
The silent destroyer
They're raising your body
From the ground, from the ground
What you gonna do
When it all comes
Through on your weary head?
Is it so easy to pretend?
You want it, you need it
Break your back to feed it
They're raising your body
From the ground, oh yeah
And they're raising your body
From the ground, from the ground
They're raising your body
People stand in line
People stand in line
People stand in line
A premonition of the killers angel eyes
An armageddon sky tell it like it is
It's like the old man says
We're dead in the water now
Dead in the water
They come from miles around
They come from miles around
They come from miles around
In avarice and love
To suckle on the blood
Of some forgotten god
Sell it like it is
It's like the old man says
We're dead in the water now
We're dead in the water now
Dead in the water
A simple act of faith
A simple act of faith
A simple act of faith
A celebration of the colour and the creed
The cancer and its seed
Crackles on the mic
Can call it what you like
We're dead in the water now
We're dead in the water now
Caroline
Those crazy eyes that shine
The days blowing through my mind
Like falling leaves
It ain't no good
I tried hard as I could
You but just won't let
My poor heart be
The final war, a steel eyed dinosaur
Girl I want you more than I can say
But Caroline, it seems like every time
Honey all I get is further away
The state I'm in
Got goosebumps on my skin
See the water I'll jump right in
Your heart so free
I'll face the facts
Its paper on the cracks
And girl till you got you right
Back here with me
The final war, a steel eyed dinosaur
Girl I want you more than I can say
But Caroline, it seems like every time
Honey all I get is further away
Honey all I get is further away
The final war, a steel eyed dinosaur
Girl I want you more than I can say
Ah but Caroline it seems like every time
Honey all I get is further away
Honey all I get is further
Hear me god I'm on the level
Mapping silence seeing things
Crying laughing like the devil
And before the might of all that's seen
I'll raise my head and wake to dream anew
With a clean pair of eyes
Murdered gold and colours flashing
Time like blood like flowing hair
Faces merging airplanes crashing
And before the might of all that's true
I'll raise my head and wake to dream anew
With a clean pair of eyes
A clean pair of eyes
Don't need no-one to blame
Don't need no disguise
No sugar to sweet my brain
A clean pair of eyes
Today I need no commentary
Today I do not need to speak
No explanation necessary
And before the might of all that's seen
I'll raise my head and wake to dream anew
With a clean pair of eyes
A clean pair of eyes don't need no right or wrong
Don't need no disguise
No sugar to fix my tongue
A clean pair of eyes
Liquid air and flags that ripple
A tambourine of smoking suns love
That blinds us fear that cripples
And before the might of all that's seen
I'll raise my head and wake to dream
And before the might of all that's true
I'll raise my head and dream anew
And before the might of all that's unnamed
I'll raise my head and dream again
Dream again
Dream again
Dream again
Four o'clock in the morning
Born on the sea
The night is rattling
With burglar alarms, oh yeah
The night explode the night explode
Flower by your window side
Autumn is graceful unladen with memory
And the wonders die
Seven o'clock in the evening
Watching TV show
Kissing your dark hair it's your head
Against the sunset and the harbor below
It's the cruelest thing, the cruelest thing
That I've ever known
Just time and circumstance taking their toll
As the storm beats and rolls
Your bed was a warm bed, warm bed in the cold room
Always the same pictures on the wall
With some love in the morning with your dog at your pillow
And a half empty bottle of baby oil
Oh seven o'clock in the evening
Born around the sea
Night is rattling with burglar alarms
Oh their ringing out for me, yeah
The cruelest thing, the cruelest thing
That I've ever known
Time and circumstance raking their toll
Drunken ferry boat woman
Swayin' on your sea
If I turn on the gasfire
By the rain rattled window
Won't you sail over to me
The hail storms tumbles
The rail line rumbles
You move in the porch with me
On an overcast day
The pale winter city
An afternoon's debauchery
Your blouse your skirt
I'll undo them so gentle
With beautiful care
I'm a lonely man
With five bottles of wine
I'd like you to share
The hail storm tumbles
Rain line rumbles
You move through the doors with me
On an overcast day
The pale winter city
An afternoon's debauchery
Orange street light
Afternoon becomes night
You drink your wine from a mug
There's cats at the backdoor
The snow is two inches
You roll down your tights on the rug
The hail storm tumbles
The rail line rumbles
You lie on the floor with me
Come closer my love
I'm badly in need
This years love had better last
Heaven knows it's high time
I've been waitin' on my own, too long
And when ya hold me like you do
It feels so right, oh now
I start to forget
How my heart gets torn
When that hurt gets thrown
Feelin' like you can't go on
Turning circles, time again
Cut like a knife, oh now
If ya love me, got to know for sure
'Cos it takes somethin' more this time
Sweet, sweet lies, oh now
Before I open up my arms and fall
Losin' all control
Every dream inside my soul
When ya kiss me
On that midnight street
Sweep me off my feet
Singin' ain't this life so sweet
This years love, it better last
This years love, it better last
'Cos whose to worry
If our hearts get torn
When that hurt gets thrown
Don't ya know this life goes on
Won't ya kiss me
On that midnight street
Sweep me off my feet
Singin' ain't this life so sweet
This years love, it better last
This years love, it better last
This years love, it better last
This years love, it better last
This years love, it better last
Oh, oh, oh, aah yea
Time no good
Wisdom no good
Patience no good
To me any more
Now night has fallen on the stair
Some things you do you can never repair
Seems I'm always pretending
Things aren't there when they are
And the leaves are nearly off the trees
The traffic thick past yellow windows
And I'm lost inside the frozen headlights
Thinking of you
And the trees are looking like bones
And the afternoon's filled with storm and rain
I'm staring out of this metal train
Thinking of you
And the trees are looking like bones
The afternoon filled with rain and storm
And I'm tangled up in memory's thorns
No way through
Trees like bones, yellow windows
What should it matter if the sun don't rise
It's midnight forever in my Janie's eyes
And what should it matter if the curves don't spring
When I'm finding winter in everything
I live in this cold wind city all my life
Walking around still looks the same
Same people coming and going, doesn't feel right
See it all now so far away
What should it matter if the earth may slide
Sky break in pieces and stars collide
The littlest sense left in this world of ours
My Janie took with her in the wee small hours
I live in this cold wind city all my life
Walking around still looks the same
Same people coming and going, doesn't feel right
Watch it all now so far away
I live in this cold wind city all my life
Walking around still looks the same still looks the same
Same people coming and going, doesn't feel right
See it all now so far away so far
And all of the wisdom I held so high shining and useless as this April sky
The littlest sense left in this world of ours
My Janie took with her in the wee small hours
My Janie took with her in the wee small hours
What are you?
What are you becoming?
What have you become?
Once you sang your own song
Now you're dancing to the same drum
What have you become?
And what is that you're wearing?
Money's ugly confidence
You sacrificed the poem of your imagination
For these pounds and pence
Me I take the cynic's role
Throw scorn on your empty mind
I've seen this monotonous world
Make dull what used to shine
You lost interest
You lost your spine
Oh that spine fine fine
Yeah
When there' nothing left
On this plate you're handed
You find yourself
Running the gauntlet
Of all of these double standards
It's very thin ice over which you're skating
And after this black winter the thaw
So what are you
Tell me tell me what are you
Feel the weight if this passing time
All those crazy faces run through my mind
And that song has brought a teardrop to my eye
Can't tell the bottle from the mountain top
No we're not right
I see this world but I can't relate
Hey that everything must accelerate
Betty Ford oh won't you be my valentine
Can't tell the bottle from the mountain top
No, we're not right
Can't tell the bottle from the mountain top
And now my hands are shaking
But i just can't stop
Can't tell the bottle from the mountain top
No we're not right
Can't tell the bottle from the mountain top
And now my hands are shaking
But I just can't stop
Can't tell the bottle from the mountain top
No we're not right
When I'm weak and my head is sore
And I feel like I can't go on no more
I come in here where normal rules do not apply
Can't tell the bottle from the mountain top
No we're not right
Can't tell the bottle from the mountain top
No we're not right
Can't tell the bottle from the mountain top
No we're not right
Yeah Yeah
I dont know where you're goin
But it seems like a mighty long way now
I dont know where you're goin
But it seems like a mighty long time
Since I've seen you're face
So I'm dreamin, I'm dreamin that day now
To see you comin honey neath that sunny sky
Everywhere I go and everything I do and I say now
Nothing ringing true it doesnt matter how hard that I try
Cause all I want is you so im wishing, I'm wishing I pray now
To see you comin honey neath that sunny sky
Everynight when i go out
Get drunk till I fall down
Bury my head I don't want to see
That i'm gettin nowhere
And time is draggen so slowly
So tired now, honey
So tired of me
Oh, so tired of me
I dont need you to say you will stay with me baby forever
I dont need you to tell me your heart and your soul are all mine
Its okay with me you can smile and say nothin whatever
Meet me on the other side, meet me on the other side
I'll see you on the other side, see you on the other side
Honey now if I'm honest, I still don't know what love is
Another mirage folds into the haze of time recalled
And now the floodgates cannot hold
All my sorrow all my rage
A teardrop falls on every page
Meet me on the other side, meet me on the other side
Maybe I oughta mention, was never my intention
To harm you or your kin, are you so scared to look within
The ghosts are crawling on our skin
We may race and we may run
We'll not undo what has been done
Or change the moment when it's gone
Meet me on the other side, meet me on the other side
I'll see you on the other side, see you on the other side
I know it would be outrageous
To come on all courageous
And offer you my hand
To pull you up on to dry land
When all I got is sinking sand
That trick ain't worth the time it buys
I'm sick of hearing my own lies
And love's a raven when it flies
Meet me on the other side, meet me on the other side
I'll see you on the other side, see you on the other side
I finally belong
The lonely night is gone I won't forget it
And all the love you show
I gotta let you know
You won't regret it
Now you're in my heart
We'll never be apart No-o-o
And it might take the longest time
Til we're finding the rainbow's end
But it don't matter rain or shine
If we're finding the rainbow ...
Free the love that's burning in my soul
The thorn was in my side In loneliness I cried: "Hey, I'm in trouble!
I'm punching at the walls
They're laughing as I fall
Seeing double"
But now you're in my heart
We'll never be apart No-o-o
And it might take the longest time
Til we're finding the rainbow's end
But it don't matter rain or shine If we're finding the rainbow
... Free the love that's burning in my soul
... in my soul Free the love that's burning in my soul
You turn out the light
And the dark sucks on the embers of the fire
That shoulders in the night
And these tumbling boulders of desire
Come rolling off the shadows of me
You say I thought time was meant to take away the hurtin'
As your lonely silhouette closes the curtain
Back on the road destination uncertain
So lets get in this car and drive
And this feeling I feel so strong
So powerful it can't be wrong
Now the whole frosted night is just a song
Song for you
And the moon is splashed right over the street
Like my tears on your thighs so pale
Its just you and me in the sheets
And I hope the whole wide world is just a jail
When you're away from me
And its rolling on by
Here come the night
Turn out the light
And the dark sucks on the embers of the fire
That smoulders in the night tumbling boulders of desire
Rolling, rolling...
Rolling out the shadows of me
I'm falling by the wayside
I'm sinking with the sun
Everything I do
Is wrong wrong wrong
Gazing at the billboards
Staring down the broken lines
Sleeping on the backseat
I could not believe
You were right up there beside me
Tugging at my sleeve
And putting up your lipstick
Just like you did a thousand times
And something in your eyes that makes me smile
Oh yeah
Something in your eyes that makes me smile
Oh yeah
I wake up in the darkness
Its more than I can stand
I'm reaching out to touch it
It breaks up in my hand
I've never known the headlights
To shine so cold
I'm waiting for the morning
To steal over the hills
I'm urging for the road
To speed these wheels
I'm watching for the sunrise
Turning all the teardrops gold
Cause something in your eyes that makes me smile
Oh yeah
Something in your eyes that makes me smile
Oh yeah
And something in your eyes that makes me smile
Oh yeah
I can see it in your eyes
What I know in my heart is true
That our love it has faded
Like the summer run through
So we'll walk down the shoreline
One last time together
Feel the wind blow our wanderin' hearts Like a feather
But who knows what's waiting
In the wings of time
Dry your eyes
We gotta go where we can shine
Don't be hiding in sorrow
Or clinging to the past
With your beauty so precious
And the season so fast
No matter how cold the horizon appear
Or how far the first night
When I held you near
You gotta rise from these ashes
Like a bird of flame
Step out of the shadow
We've gotta go where we can shine
For all that we struggle
For all we pretend
It don't come down to nothing
Except love in the end
And ours is a road
That is strewn with goodbyes
But as it unfolds
As it all unwinds
Remember your soul is the one thing
You just can't compromise
Take my hand
We're gonna go where we can shine
We're gonna go where we can shine
We're gonna go where we can shine
(and look, and look)
Through the windows of midnight
Standin at the door of the pink Flamingo cryin in the rain,
It was a kind of so-so love and I'm gonna make sure it doesn't happen again,
You and I had to be the standing joke of the year,
You were a runaround, a lost and found and not for me I feel,
Take your hands off me, hey,
I don't belong to you, you see,
And take a look in my face, for the last time,
I never knew you, you never knew me,
Say hello goodbye,
Say hello and wave goodbye,
We tried to make it work, you in a cocktail skirt and me in a suit but it just wasn't me,
You're used to wearing less, and now your life's a mess, so insecure you see,
I put up with all the scenes, this is one scene that's goin to be played my way
Say hello and wave goodbye
Under the deep red light I can see the make-up slidin down,
Well hey little girl you will always make up so take off that unbecoming frown,
As for me, well I'll find someone who's not goin cheap in the sales,
A nice little housewife who'll give me a steady life and not keep going
off the rails,
Slow voices speaking through a hurricane
Said that I wanted but I lied
Your looking good
Hey man I can't complain
Ghost on the road at night
Seen him out walking he's just skin and bone
I don't see nothing in her eyes
Some call it hell felt like a home from home
I'm dreaming different skies
I don't know where I
I don't know what I'm supposed to do now
Get it on all night
I don't know where I
I don't know what I
It seems to me boy
That you're doing all right
I don't know what I
I don't know where I
Long way to go now
Keep it all inside
36 hours but my mind is fresh
Live for the moment then I'm gone
Suck on that sympathy and feel the rush
Go on my blue eyed son
I don't know where I
I don't know what I'm supposed to do now
Get it on all night
I don't know where I
I don't know what I
It seems to me boy
That you're doing all right
I don't know what I
I don't know where I
Long way to go now
Sail away with me honey
I put my heart in your hands
Sail away with me honey now, now, now
Sail away with me
What will be will be
I wanna hold you now
Crazy skies all wild above me now
Winter howling at my face
And everything I held so dear
Disappeared without a trace
Oh all the times I've tasted love
Never knew quite what I had
Little Darling if you hear me now
Never needed you so bad
Spinning round inside my head
Sail away with me honey
I put my heart in your hands
Sail away with me honey now, now, now
Sail away with me
What will be will be
I wanna hold you now
I've been talking drunken gibberish
Falling in and out of bars
Trying to get some explanation here
For the way some people are
How did it ever come so far
Sail away with me honey
I put my heart in your hands
Sail away with me honey now, now, now
Sail away with me
What will be will be
I wanna hold you now
Sail away with me honey
I put my heart in your hands
Sail away with me honey now, now, now
Sail away with me
What will be will be
If the silence doesn't kill you then an illusion will
You're starin' at the sky
But the moon isn't gonna pay our bills
And we're laughin' 'bout it loud
But oh you know it ain't no joke
See them cake the roads with glitter
Trade your dreams for smoke
There's teardrops in the treetops
The wind is whistling through the mountain's teeth
A song for every wounded dove
And we're out further than the razor's edge
Going down down to the roots of love
And its rainin' in my kitchen
A storm in my front room
The instructions don't say nothing
Just desire consume
And the stars are falling right into my eye
Might be built out of stand
But maybe baby it's paradise
There's teardrops in the treetops
The wind is whistling through the mountain's teeth
A song for every wounded dove
And we're out further than the razor's edge
Going down down to the roots
Going down down to the roots
Weighing that silver there with your hands
In no position to make demands
Got what you wanted oh very nice
But every kiss must have a price
I'm gettin tired of being denied
Of sayin the same old things
And these tears ain't gonna mend these broken wings
Red mood
All that I've witnessed
Hard to believe
I can still find it in me to be so naive
Cry on your pillow into the night
Coz saying you're sorry won't make it right
I'm gettin tired of, being denied
Of things getting in my way
And if I'm quiet that's cos there's nothing left to say
And if I'm quiet that's cos there's nothing left to say
Red moon
Red moon
Red moon
The dawn and all its majesty is taking me away
The dawn and all its honesty is turning me to play
Through the bars of iron rings
Way beyond the bad things
I hear the voice of Eden cry
Lift me up and walking on high
This real love
Real love
This world in all its clarity- it's glorious, it's fake
This world in all its vanity is more than I can take
Down the road, the iron wheels
Chain my heart to how it feels
I hear the voice of Eden cry
Lift me up and walking on high
This real love
Real love
Real love
Real love
Something in my heart is telling me its time
To meet the eye of destiny and leave it all behind
Through my bones an iron rage
Pins my soul upon the page
I hear the voice of Eden cry
Lift me up and walk on high
It makes me want to lay down and die
This real love
Real love
Real love
Real love
Make it real make it real
Please forgive me if I act a little strange
For I know not what I do
Feels like lightning running through my veins
Everytime I look at you
Everytime I look at you
Help me out here, all my words are falling short
And there's so much I want to say
Want to tell you just how good it feels
When you look at me that way
When you look at me that way
Throw a stone and watch the ripples flow
Moving out across the bay
Like a stone I fall into your eyes
Deep into their mystery
Deep into some mystery
I got half a mind to scream out loud
I got half a mind to die
So I won't ever have to lose you girl
Won't ever have to say goodbye
I won't ever have to lie
Won't ever have to say goodbye
Please forgive me if I act a little strange
For I know not what I do
Feels like lightning running through my veins
Everytime I look at you
Everytime I look at you
Everytime I look at you
I'm raising up my voice
To the walls and to the sky
It seeks no explanation
It waits for no reply
Really it is nothing
Just a cry to the wilds
I'm delirious with chaos
I'm wonderstruck with awe
In my soul I'm dreaming only
Of your velvet shore
When I'm walking there my face
Untangles like a child
And only the lonely
Only the lonely
Lonely could know me
I've been talking all night long
There's nothing more to say
So I'm searching every mirror
For a trace of yesterday
But the air it holds no traces
Where the eagles were flying
I'm haunted by the skyline
The concrete and the rain
The window speaks of winter
So I'll set my heart again
Somewhere in the dust
A curlew is crying
And only the lonely
Only the lonely
Lonely could know me
I'm talking all night long
Talking all night
There's a copper moon that's buried
Where solitude expands
And distant planets moving
They're weighing on my hands
They're darkening my pages
And there's daylight in my fingers
But it's snowing in my bones
Been sucking on the echo
Of a thousand telephones
And when we meet again
We will be strangers
And only the lonely
Only the lonely
Lonely could know me
And only the lonely
Only the lonely
You're in my mind baby
Now and always
You're in my mind baby
Now and always
The road I'm walking
Might fall away
You're in my mind baby
Now and always
A bonfire smoking
Into a low sky
The sparks they fly up
Into a low sky
Would that these demons
Would let me rest
They're with me lord
Till the day that I die
Feast my eyes on sacred lies
Ill wind that blows
From all directions
Ill wind that blows in
From all directions
Hey easy boy giving it all away
And nothing left
For your own protection
You're in my mind baby
Now and always
You're in my mind baby
Now and always
The ground I'm walking
Might fall away
You're in my mind baby
Now and always
Feast my eyes on sacred lies
The swans are ghosts
On the jet black water
The swans like ghosts
On the jet black water
Hey little baby
I'll hold you close
We'll glide like ghosts
On the starry water
Tthe dogs are running wild
The dogs are running wild
The dogs are running wild
The dogs are running
One lifetime is long enough
Is long enough to wait
The rain like silver in my ears
Fat nothing on my plate
A bucketful of Babylon
A belly full of hate
Go to sleep my one true love
And may your dreams be sweet
Then we'll be running
See its face beneath the glass
It murmurs on the breeze
Like a long black Cadillac
It passes 'neath the trees
What is it you're waiting for?
Sweet love is on its knees
Go to sleep my one true love
And find your heart's release
Then we'll be running
Afraid of nothing
Yeah we'll be running
Silence is golden
Here I am
I ain't afraid of nothing
Silence is golden
Here I am
The sun above the cotton grass
Is sinking down like lead
The seagulls know the truth of it
And scream it overhead
Hold on to St. Christopher
The sky is murderous red
Go to sleep my one true love
Our glory lies ahead
Then we'll be running
Afraid of nothing
Then we'll be running
All wired up in a dawning ray
All wired up in a dawning ray
All wired up in a dawning ray
A million to one outsiders
Nightblindness
Can't see
Your bright eyes are what
The time is
Twenty five past eternity
Hear you listening
To the silence
Coming closer
Now further away
What we gonna do
When the money runs out
I wish that there was something left to say
Where we going to find the eyes to see
The bright of day
I'm sick of all the same romances
Lost chances
Cold storms
Propping mountains up
On matchsticks
Dragging baskets
Full of bones
And honey please don't stop
Your talking
'Cause there's a feeling
Won't leave me alone
What we gonna do
When the money runs out
I wish that there was something I could say
How we going to find the eyes to see
The bright of day?
What we gonna do
When the money runs out
I wish that there was something left to say
How we going to find the eyes to see
The bright of day?
The bright of day
Weight on my shoulders
But I'm walking so tall
Out into the new horizon
Wonder in everything
No matter how great or small
Howlin' like the midnight
Howlin' like the midnight sun
And this ain't no pale reflection
This is the real thing
New horizon
New horizon within
And your heart ain't yours to control
No matter how tight the reigns
Love will find it's own direction
A time to reap, a time to sow
And many a time to cry in vain
But now the time to celebrate
The glory of this imperfection
Same thing that's scrawled across the stars
Is written under our skin
New horizon
New horizon within
Things come too easy, I get suspicious
Things come too slow, I get bored
If it don't work out I get superstitious
But if it does, oh my word
So I'm gathering all the remnants of beauty
From this wilderness in spin
And now I'm gonna light my own flame
'cause I'm charged with the radiance of the dawn
That's been so long breaking
Now there ain't nowhere
There ain't nowhere I won't write your name
There's a time to search for understanding
Sometime you just gotta sing
New horizon
New horizon within
Baby there's no need to get precious
When you know that everything must change
Complacency, it can be so vicious
Turn this love into a cage
Same thing that's scrawled across the stars
Is written under our skin
New horizon
The city gates at twilight
And a red ship sinking
Behind winter's grey wall
Ice in the wind
But a fire in the embers
Of my heart
As darkness falls
In a candlelit room
Where your eyes are laughing
Smoking in the red chair
And nothing in the world
'cept the beating of my heart
Against the nerves of the air
And I know there's a light
At the end of the tunnel
'cause I taste it on your lips
And I feel a weight
That can bend me double
You lift it with your fingertips
So often it happens
That words prove useless
In the face of how it feels
So it is as the mystery of love
Keeps growing
The more my heart reveals
Temptations endless whispers
Try to keep it in perspective
So much to distract
Walking on a wire
While your juggling desire
It's all part of your balancing act
And it gets hard to know
Just what you believe
As the argument rages on
But for all of the talk
It's only true to say
That if you have no hope
There is none
A tangle of tongues
Flesh flowers and thistles
Of conscience, spittle and skin
We can't change the past
So we'll raise this cup to our lips
And drink it all in
And meantime back in civilisation
The rain is cold as steel
But the mystery of love
It just keep growing
The more my heart reveals
As sure as the rose
The bright day blooms
As surely still it fades
And the night kindles stars
On empty winds
And ghosts along the collonades
And slow but sure
The sands are falling
As the bridge burns
Beneath the wheel
And the mystery of love
It just keeps growing
The more my heart reveals
What on earth is going on in my heart
Has it turned as cold as stone
Seems these days I don't feel anything
Less it cuts me right down to the bone
What on earth is going on in my heart
My oh my you know it just don't stop
It's in my mind I wanna tear it up
I've tried to fight it tried to turn it off
But it's not enough
It takes a lotta love
It takes a lotta love my friend
To keep your heart from freezing
To push on till the end
My oh my
What on earth is going on in my head
You know I used to be so sure
You know I used to be so definite
Thought I knew what love was for
I look around these days and I'm not so sure
My oh my you know it just don't stop
It's in my mind I wanna tear it up
I've tried to fight it tried to turn it off
But it's not enough
It takes a lotta love
It takes a lotta love my friend
To keep your heart from freezing
To push on till the end
My oh my you know I just can't win
I burn it down it comes right back again
What kinda world is this we're living in
where you never win
It takes a lotta love
It takes a lotta love these days
To keep your heart from freezing
To keep your spirit free
My oh my you know it just don't stop
It's in my mind I wanna tear it up
I've tried to fight it tried to turn it off
But it's not enough
It takes a lotta love
It takes a lotta love my friend
To keep your heart from freezing
To push on till the end
My oh my it just don't stop
My oh my it just don't stop
No, can't make it on my own, in this life
I try to hold it but it's gone, too fast this life,
I put my hand upon my heart well I don't know where to start
Wasting all my time (my time)
Lipstick mark or nicotine all the things that might have been
Monday morning falling down on this life
Blind, so stupid didn't see with my eyes
This love so bright and full of me your face your face,
I put my hand upon my heart girl i don't know where to start,
Missing all my friends (my friends)
A hundred miles from anywhere sadness creeping in my hair
Monday morning falling down na na na na na oh yeah oh yeah
I put my hand upon my head what's to say it's all been said
Nothing in my mind (my mind)
Twenty pound and fifteen pence down in the park the ambulance
Monday morning falling down on this life
On this life on this life on this life
Can't make it on my own in this life can't make it on my own in this life
Can't make it on my own in this life na na na na na oh yeah na na na na na
Losing my sense of direction losing my nerve
Losing my faith in change, in the god that i serve
Just a regular regular person with regular dreams
Sparks in the forehead now and feeling my blood scream
In a mighty wrong time
In a mighty wrong time
Fill a room full of starving children luminous hope
Beaming live via satellite to a million homes
What to do with this sense of proportion
To do with my eyes eyes and my forehead now
Feeling the blue skies in a mighty wrong time
In a mighty wrong time
In a mighty wrong time
In a mighty wrong time
Sucking sucking on sympathy cigarettes feeding my face
Turning my back each day on anything I can't face
What to do with these streets where i'm walking wrong
In my soul fire burning everywhere, spinning out of control mighty wrong time
Images pouring voices unclear misty morning,
There you go darling blood of ? music pumping,
Crowd all around me grinning from ear to ear
Invisible tears why in a mighty wrong time
In a mighty wrong time
In a mighty wrong time
In a mighty wrong time
Aluminium feminine compact fits in my head
Give me confidence softness lets me feel what i really am
Staring up at these women all shining twenty feet tall
Understand they're not on earth but wanting it all
In a mighty wrong time you better believe it
In a mighty wrong time
In a mighty wrong time
In a mighty wrong time na na na
In a mighty wrong time
In a mighty wrong time
In a mighty wrong time na na na na na
Its a sad old world
That's turning tonight
As I slide through the streets
Moonlight and memory burning
And in my hand your broken dream
My watery eyes
I sing for you this lullaby
Let the shadow fall from your window
Let the morning light fill your head
Stand up and let the wild wind blow
Right into your soul till the night is dead
All these useless emotions
Churning round
As I search these bare walls for a clue
And all the time
The truth is flashing in my mind
That when a heart gets broken
There's nothing you can do
My watery eyes
I sing for you this lullaby
Let the shadow fall from your window
Let the morning light fill your head
Stand up and let the wild wind blow
Right into your soul till the night is dead
And I'm packing my belongings
Hey I'll be gone before the noon arrives
Cos I know there's no use pretending
Soon it'll all be alright
But hey
Let the shadow fall from your window
Let the morning light fill your head
Stand up and let the wild wind blow
Right into your soul till the night is dead
See the dawn break gold
When the night is dead
It's like this
It's all in here
Just one kiss
Will make that clear
So let the flower open
Let the ship sail
Don't need no meaningless token
To hear the nightingale
For everything that's been
For all that's yet to come
Brow full of moonbeams
Singing loves old song
Beauty threads its needle
In every eye a light will shine
From the graveyard to the cradle
All the bells of wonder chime
No further complication
Here for the queen or for the pawn
Night of such revelation
The Jew is trembling on the thorn
For everything that's been
For all that's yet to come
Brow full of moonbeams
Singing loves old song
Loves old song
Playing in our hearts
Binding it together
Pulling it apart
Loves old song
Playing pure and bold
Time has come to read
What's written in your soul
Yeah yeah yeah
Out in the fields of bloody slumber
Shadows fleeing from the sun
Without aim and without number
These children of oblivion
For everything that's been
For everything's that come
A brow full of moonbeams
Singing loves old song
Loves old song
Playing in our hearts
Binding it together
Pulling it apart
Loves old song
Playing pure and bold
Time has come to read
What's written there in your soul
Yah yah yeah
Whoa oh oh
For everything that's been
For everything's that come
Brow full of moonbeams
At the Lorelei
Sing it sweet for me tonight
All my dreams to long tonight
If only i could be the one
Hold on tight I need ya son
Wouldn't even fire the gun
If only I could be
Tie your heart and soul
To the lightning pole
Still it ain't no guarantee
In the firing line
Find your eyes aren't blind Pretty soon i'm free
At the Lorelei
Sing it sweet for me tonight
All my dreams to long tonight
If only i could be the one
Oh my god I need ya son
I won't ever let ya down
If only It could be
Through the carnage thorn
With your face like stone
Till there ain't no dignity
Pretty soon i'm free
At the Lorelei
Sing it sweet for me tonight
All my dreams to long denied
If only i could be the way
Say those things we used to say
Sometime was back yesterday
If only It could be
If only It could be
My good friends speak
Like they did last year
Last nights just a blur
Through a head full of beer
My good friends speak
Like they did last year
And last year's just a blur
Through a head of full beer
Where's your wisdom
Put that broken bottle down
Let the wind in your sails
Take you out of this town so sad
I think I'm dying
And if life's just a living room
Then I'm in the hall and I'm glad
If life's just a living room
I'm in the hall and I'm glad
Oh I'm glad, I'm glad, I'm glad
Now the dawn it has broke
Still the night don't clear
Memories falling in the mornin' rain
I'm up too close, to see it clear
And last year's just a blur
Baby, now don't look back
Don't let those feelings start
Don't let the line go slack
When you're pulling it all apart
How to describe the sky
Or dismantle a beating heart
Guess, we're just holding on
Baby, we are holding on
Honey, we're holding on
To the world
Seeking assurances
Some kind of guarantee
There has to be more than this, oh now
More than the eye can see
Holding the lanterns high
While we sink with our vanity
Guess we're just holding on
Baby, we're holding on
Honey, we're holding on
To the world
Here we are holding on
Baby, we're holding on
Honey, we're holding on
To the world
Now I'm gonna love you
Like the spring bursts from the ground
Unfurling from the ground
Unfurling from the ground
Faces of buildings, trees
All that is stoned, inert
Here in these empty streets
Well, it silently does assert
That we are just passing ghosts, honey
Vapors of joy and hurt
And here we are holding on
Baby, we're holding on
Honey, we're holding on
To the world
Baby we're holding on
Oh yeah, we are holding on
Hey now, we're holding on
Baby we're holding on
Here we are holding on
Baby, we're holding on
Guess we're just holding on to the world
A gutter full of rain
An empty picture frame
A house out at the edges of the city
Never noticing the war
Til it's right there at your door
And suddenly your hands are bloody
I was seeking to possess
Now another girl's caress
Is on your flesh
The bitterness is tasted
There's nobody in your chair
No hand to touch my hair
The sun even the air seems wasted
Let it go now
Let it all slip away
And we'll start it all over again
Me like a million others before
Trying to make sense of the rain
Were these twenty years a dream
Was it ever as it seemed
Get to wonder if it really existed
Cause the thief who stole my life
Has taken too my faith
I can see now how the world gets
Twisted
Let it go now
Let it all slip away
And we'll start it all over again
Me like a million others before
Trying to make sense of the rain
In spite of all the shame
Sometimes I hear your name
I think of us when we were younger
Then I'm shutting out the noise
And I'm trying to hear the voice
That used to tell me love was
Stronger
Light another cigarette
But the one I got's still lit
I can't seem to keep my fingers
Steady
Never noticing the war
Til it's right there at your door
Take your eyes off me
There's nothing here to see
Just trying to keep my head together
And as we make our vow
Let us remember how
There's nothing good that lasts forever
Time out on the running boards
We're running
Through a world that lost it's meaning
Trying to find a way to love
This running Ain't no kind of freedom
Feel the touch of grief
You stand in disbelief
Can steal the earth from right beneath you
And falling in so far
They know just where you are
Yeah but there ain't no way to reach you
Time out on the running boards
We're running
Through a world that lost it's meaning
Trying to find a way to love
This running
Ain't no kind of freedom
Of freedom
Yeah yeah
It's time to clean these boots
Fold up these parachutes
The words goodbye but I can't say it
The end is close at hand I think we understand
There ain't no use trying to delay it
Time out on the running boards
We're running
Through a world that lost it's meaning
Trying to find a way to love
This running
Ain't no kind of freedom
Freedom freedom
Time out on the running boards
We're running
Through a world that lost it's meaning
Trying to find a way to love
This running
Ain't no kind of freedom
Of freedom
Freedom
Fasten on my mask
I'm bending to the task
I know this work is never finished
And if I close my eyes
As the bell must strike the hour
As the west must stab the sun
So our hearts
Must heed the flow
Of deeper tides that run
Far beyond the bare indifference
That prosperity esteems
Where the spirit
Raves and dances
Through our very veins
At winters edge you found me
By the fields of wild gold
My hands still filled with ashes
From fires long cold
You pulled me from the wreckage
Of bitterness and blame
Flung open the page
And put some flesh on
The bones of my dreams
On the streets
The blossom snowing
And the drum is beating slow
And I hear you speak so clear
Well I'm slicing through the fear
Setting all the beacons
Blazing, baby oh!
It's staring out plainer than ever
Brighter than all the fools
Gold that gleams
It's simply now or never
Putting flesh on the bones
Of my dreams
Putting flesh on the bones
Of my dreams
Putting flesh on the bones
Of my dreams
And they can plunder
The cave of sorrows
They can strip the gallery bare
Try to build a fence
Around the visions
In our heads, choke every spark
In a cloak of despair
But we got something
They can't stifle
With their price tags
And picture frames
Got a flower for every rifle
Well we had to pull on something
So we're grabbing at the threads
And now the world's unraveling
Inside our very heads
Glasses smeared with lipstick
Hungry eyes out in the street
Same old bodies moving
To the same old beat
And had to draw the line
Had to draw the line
All this talk can hypnotize you
And we can ill afford
To give ourselves to sentiment
When our time is, oh, so short
Names beneath the lichen
On these cemetery stones
And there are carnivals of silverfish
Waiting to dance upon our bones
Have to draw the line
Have to draw the line
Help me draw the line
Help me draw the line
I've been doubting yours, baby
I've been doubting mine
I've been out of circulation
Where the sun don't shine
I've been doubting fame and wealth
Charity, even love itself
Draw the line
I ain't saying he's bad, baby
I ain't saying he's good
Merely that he ain't so different
Neath his executioner's hood
In the name of liberty
In the name of brotherhood
Have to draw the line
Have to draw the line
Need to take some pride, baby
Need to take some heart
Need to take evasive action
When the rumpus start
Here we are buck-naked, yeah
But where should we begin
When it's not the flesh we're after
But the howlin' ghost within
Help me draw the line
Help me draw the line
Help me draw the line
Need to draw the line
Help me draw the line
Need to draw the line
Have to draw the line
Pack your bags we're going home
Pack your bags we're going
Had to draw the line
Pack your bags we're going home
Pack your bags we're going
Had to draw the line
Tears falling slow
From the bridge
Into the river below
In your eyes, I start to see
A starry veil,
The ocean of infinity
Moon and stars above me
Mingle with the blood
Inside my vein
These empty arms
That should be
Holding you close
Through nights of winter rain
I'm trying to spell
What only the wind can explain
It's colder than ever
Coming down
I'm drowning in shallows
Cos its in so deep
There's neon melting in the rain
Took too much powder too sleep
Cos when I hold you naked
When I see you laugh
I got a sword to stem the rivers
And cut the moon in half
Frozen stars above me
Mingle with the blood
Inside my vein
Empty arms that should be
Holding you close
Through nights of winter rain
I'm trying to spell
What only the wind can explain
It's colder than ever
Coming down
We danced wild
Kicked off our shoes
Not a cloud
In the skies to confuse
Now the sky is cold
The sea is wide
And there's nothing to be done
'cept reflecting the sun
And scratching the mountainside
Frozen stars above me
Mingle with the blood
Inside my vein
Empty arms that should be
Holding you close
Through nights of winter rain
I'm trying to spell
What only the wind can explain
It's colder than ever
I just don't care
Don't care at all
I've banged my head too long
On these brick walls
Every seed I sow
Shudders and falls
Perishes betweens
Ah these brick walls
And I feel like the last hair
On a head gone bald
Not much point being there No point at all
How many more years?
Years 'till they fall
On the blind eyes
And deaf ears
And these brick walls
These brick walls
These brick walls
These brick walls
Ah these brick walls
And I'm long past worrying
And I'm way past being appalled
I know history is hurrying up
And time can't be stalled
So don't try to run, no
Before you can crawl
Just wait and the time will come
Hey for these brick walls
These brick walls
These brick walls
These brick walls
Ah these brick walls
Ah, umhm
Brick walls
Brick Walls
Wishing that something would happen
A change in this place,
'cos I'm tearing off the fancy wrapping
Find an empty package
Take for a while
Your trumpet from your lip
Loosen your hold, loosen your grip
On your old ways
That have fallen out of step
In a changing time
Hoist a new flag
Hoist a new flag
Angry sun burn down
Judging us all
Guilty of neglect and disrespect
And thinking small
And death by boredom
And death by greed
If we can't stop taking
More than we need
But across the fractured landscape
I find the same things
Tired ideas
Birds without wings
Birds without wings
Birds without wings
And these are just thoughts
On lack-lustre times
I've no interest
In excuses you can find
Like you've had a hard day
Now you've too tired to care
Now you're too tired to care
You've had a hard day
Well across the fractured landscape
I see the same things
Tired ideas broken values
Many with the notion
That to share is to lose
A hollow people bound by a lack
Of imagination and too much looking back Without the courage
To give a new thing a chance
Grounded by this ignorance
(and the cat comes)
We're just,
Birds without wings
Birds without wings
From the very first moment I saw you
That's when I knew
All the dreams I held in my heart
Had suddenly come true
Knock me over stone cold sober
Not a thing I could say or do
'Cos baby when I'm walking with you now
My eyes are so wide
Like you reached right into my head
And turned on the light inside
Turning on the light
Inside my mind hey
Come on baby it's all right
Sunday Monday day or night
Written blue on white it's plain to see
Be mine, be mine
That rainy shiny night or day
What's the difference anyway
Honey till your heart belongs to me
If I had some influence girl
With the powers that be
I'd have them fire that arrow at you
Like they fired it right at me
And maybe when your heart and soul are burning
You might see
That everytime I'm talking with you
It's always over too soon
That everyday feels so incomplete
Till you walk into the room
Say the word now girl I'll jump that moon hey
Come on baby it's ok
Rainy shiny night or day
There's nothing in the way now
Don't you see
Be mine, be mine
Winter summer day or night
Centigrade or fahrenheit
Baby till your heart belongs to me
Be mine, be mine
Thursday Friday short or long
When you got a love so strong
How can it be wrong now mercy me
Be mine, be mine
Jumpin' Jesus holy cow !
What's the difference anyhow
Friday night I'm going nowhere
All the lights are changing green to red
Turning over TV stations
Situations running through my head
Well looking back through time
You know it's clear that I've been blind
I've been a fool
To ever open up my heart
To all that jealousy, that bitterness, that ridicule
Saturday I'm running wild
And all the lights are changing red to green
Moving through the crowd I'm pushing
Chemicals all rushing through my bloodstream
Only wish that you were here
You know I'm seeing it so clear
I've been afraid
To tell you how I really feel
Admit to some of those bad mistakes I've made
If you want it
Come and get it
Crying out loud
The love that I was
Giving you was
Never in doubt
Let go your heart
Let go your head
And feel it now
Babylon, Babylon
Sunday all the lights of London
Shining , Sky is fading red to blue
I'm kicking through the Autumn leaves
And wondering where it is you might be going to
Turning back for home
You know I'm feeling so alone
I can't believe
Climbing on the stair
I turn around to see you smiling there
In front of me
If you want it
Come and get it
Crying out loud
The love that I was
Giving you was
Never in doubt
And feel it now
Let go your heart
Let go your head
And feel it now
Let go your heart
Let go your head
And feel it now
Let go your heart
Let go your head
And feel it now
Let go your heart
Let go your head
And feel it now
Come on, come on, come on
come on, come on, come on
The stolen glances, broken threads
The visions looming in our heads
The years spent running parallel
To everything that might of been
No longer possible to hide
The feeling welling up inside
Ain't never been this close before
Ain't never felt so far away
When a moment
A moment changes everything
When a moment
A moment changes everything
When a moment, it changes everything
The summer sky is blushing pink
The heart is running out of sync (?)
Could this just be the day, I think
When anything is possible
Well, hey now you've been here before
To see your face and slam the door
And waiting for the floor to drop
Feel like time is standing still
When a moment
A moment changes everything
(repeat x3)
When a moment, it changes everything
Come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on
(repeat)
A moment, a moment changes everything
(repeat x4)
Then a moment
A moment changes everything
