I'm gonna dangle my feet over the wire
Despite your despair, I'm going over to the other side
There's a break in the clouds where the crimson connects
Anticipate my demise, the world's different from up here
Am I caught in the background, a part of the scene?
Misery in the come down, when I come down from here.
Are we tangled in each other, or placed in between?
Like a stone, or a stones throw away from falling
Am I just scant in the landscape,
Or a range close to you?
I think I fell into a strange play with wandering limbs
And eager hands
Now the sun's gone today, I can lest towards space
Now transcend into blues, fade out from the ground breaks
I feel so beautiful, cut me off from the crowd
I got the birds eye view, now we're all just thoughts in a sky
Am I caught in the background, or part of the scene?
Misery in the calm-down, when I come down from here.
Are we tangled in each other, or placed in between?
Like a stone, or a stones throw away from far
Am I just a sketch in the landscape
Or arranged close to you?
I think I fell, I think I fell into a strange play with wandering limbs
I feel the 4 become 5
And I'm waiting, waiting, waiting
For you to walk down the boulevard
And to take me, take me, take me.
But the moment you appear
You wake me, wake me, wake me
Out of the slumbers of my head
From the slums of loneliness.
And there's no conspiracy
Behind the way two hearts meet
When love is a two way street.
And I think I'm ready
To let you get under my skin
I can't make you fall for me,
Love is a two way street.
We're coming close to our fate
They'll put a star beside our names
But I couldn't care for the history
When I've got you in front of me.
The cars could all collide
The shards of glass
Won't catch my eye
Because you're almost by my side
We're counting down at the green light.
And there's no conspiracy
Behind the way two hearts meet
When love is a two way street.
And I think I'm ready
To let you get under my skin
I can't make you fall for me,
Look at us
I wish you good luck
No definition is worthy of this sensation
Don't give up
Please don't stop
No one thought to name that kind of contact
That kind of attention, sweet attraction
I - I - I - Never felt this way
I - I - I - Wanna feel it again
The answer is simply on my lips
Find your crown
And I'll allow
This memory to provide a new connection
Then, not a sound, no none around
Such a verb deserves an invitation
Then this pleasure, sweet affection
I - I - I - Never felt this way
I - I - I - I Wanna feel it again
The answer is simply on my lips
The answer is simply on my lips
I wanna settle down
I wanna settle down
Won't you settle down with me?
Settle down
We can settle at a table
A table for two
Won't you wine and dine with me?
Settle down
I wanna raise a child
I wanna raise a child
Won't you raise a child with me
Raise a child
We'll call her Nebraska
Nebraska Jones
She'll have your nose
Just so you know
I wanna settle down
I wanna settle down
Won't you settle down with me?
Settle down
Run from Angela Vickers
I saw her with you
Monday morning small talking on the avenue
She's got a fancy car
She wants to take you far
From the city lights and sounds deep into the dark
Star so light and star so bright
First star i see tonight
Star so light and star so bright
Keep him by side
I wanna settle down
I wanna settle down
Baby there's no need to run
I'll love you well
I wanna settle down
It's time to bring you down
On just one knee for now
There's a heartbeat in the distance, a flicker of light ahead
I've been down the street, where they offer good deals
I'm shaking hands with the man who says he'll give me my dreams
Reaching up for a taste from the hand that feeds
I feel it growing from whisper, to a shout and a fist in the air
I could smell the fire from miles away,
But I was always going to run after the chase
I didn't leave you, I just went my way
I know I've been here before
It must have been years or more
Like the first the day that I got off of the plane
And nobody cared to know of my name
I think I've been here
Sally I can see you, I'm not the girl I once used to be
I grown out of my own muse (I feel so out of my years?)
But my heart it hasn't changed
Sally I can see you, you're not the girl you once used to be
I don't know how I got here
But my heart it hasn't changed
There's a melody I'm missing
But your song travels out to me still
Like the eyes of the dusk in the hot of the glow
But I was always going to run after the storm
I didn't leave you, I just leapt out from the shore.
Ooo. It's not like it was before.
My head is short and my jeans are tight.
Time passed in the night time over my head
Suddenly, I'm in the sea, and I'm unprepared
I wish you'd been here.
Sally I can see you, I'm not the girl I once used to be
I feel so light and naive (?)
In my heart, it has no sense
Sally I can see you, you're not the girl you once used to be
I don't know how I got here
But my heart it hasn't changed
I let go of your hand, I knew our time was measured
I sailed out to foreign lands, just to fly together
There's a child that I left in the town I treasure
I'm running fast but I'm not running away
Sally I can see you, I'm not the girl I was
I don't know how I got here.
Sally I can see you, I'm not the girl I once used to be
I feel so light and naive
In my heart, it hasn't changed
Sally I can see you, you're not the girl you once used to be
I don't know how I got here
I don't wanna be in your posse girl
I don't wanna be all caught up in your
Social scene
I don't wanna be
Be in your front seat girl
I know I'm your recruit
But I ain't gonna follow suit
You got morrissey, joy division on cd
But I don't go for them
I can't move to that beat
I like Marvin Gaye and gospel music
My soul and my heart
But you call it noise
You always spoil my favourite parts
I don't wanna be in your posse girl
I don't wanna
Be caught in your social machine
don't wanna be, be in your posse girl
it's not my scene
i don't need your company
You're skipping school 'cause it's cool
But it's not for me
I learned to dream
I learned to read at this old academy
You're out make every man
Your fleeting dream
But I'm a one-man woman
I'm all down with monogamy
You cuss and curse
So they think
That you're rough and tough
But I like Shakespeare
And I find "dammit" heavy enough
You like new age
All the rage, philosophy
But I don't read my palms
I read the psalms
They speak to me
Don't wanna be in your posse girl
I don't wanna
Be caught in your social machine
Don't wanna be in your posse girl
It's not my scene, all of the aristocracy
It's not you
Maybe I'm just to pedantic
I'm a self-confessed
Idealist and romantic
You say 'join the gang
Be my yang and I'll be your yin'
But try as I might
I'm not your type, I don't fit in
I don't wanna be, be in your posse girl
It's not your fault
And I send my apologies
I don't wanna be, be in your posse girl
I don't wanna be all caught up in your
social scene
I don't wanna be, be in your posse girl
You're a trip
But I don't flip on your ecstasy
I don't wanna be in your posse girl
Trust me, you'll see, we're yin and yang
That's my prophecy
Plain gold ring on his finger he wore
It was where everyone could see
He belonged to someone, but not me
On his hand was a plain gold ring
Plain gold ring had a story to tell
It was one that I knew too well
And in my heart it will never be spring
Long as he wears that plain gold ring
Nighttime comes calling on me
I know why I'll never be free
I can't stop these teardrops of mine
I'm gonna love him till the end of time
Plain gold ring has but one thing to say
I'll remember till my dying days
In my heart it will never be spring
Long as he wears that plain gold ring
Plain gold ring on his finger he wore
Plain gold ring on his finger he wore
Plain gold ring on his finger he wore
Old flame, it's always the old way
When did it get so damn cold?
You're so seasonal
We flickered and swayed
Each time the winter soul came
I remember gold days
Under love's warm haze
Old flame, you're still the one that holds me
Can't you feel it burning?
Can't you feel it burning still?
Old flame, I fell for your inferno
Where did all the love go?
Can't you feel the wind blow you closer to me?
I went by your house today
When did you get so hollow?
So closed, so overgrown?
I flicker and sway
Still dancing on the aftertaste
I remember gold days
Wrapped up in the warmth we made
Old flame, you're still the one that holds me
Can you feel it burning?
Can you feel it burning still?
Old flame, I fell for your inferno
Where did all the love go?
Can't you feel the wind blow?
Smoke skies, colors and cloud nines
Circles and straight lines and drowned eyes
(When there's something in the air)
From such heights, I fell into Fahrenheit
And time only fuels the desire
(When there's something in the air)
It's always the old way
When did it get so damn cold?
You're so seasonal
Old flame, burning
Burning, burning still
Old flame, inferno
Where did all the love go?
Now I can't spend a minute
Now I can't steal the time
I've lost all my friends like money
I've lost all my men to the sky
Can't keep your loving from my mind
It's worth more than gold, crystals and pride
Ready to shake these stars from me
But I can't withdraw your heart from mine
No, I can't withdraw your heart from mine
No, I can't withdraw your heart from mine
I never knew what your love could do
I blew it all away
Thought I could satisfy the yearning of my
Heart shaped hole on hold for you
Never learned to hold on
I hold too tight and have to let go
But there's no love, no love,
There's nothing to take your place
Now I can't spend a minute
Now I can't steal the time
I've lost all my friends like money
I've lost all my men to the sky
I can't keep your loving from my mind
It's worth more than gold, crystals and pride
Ready to shake these stars from me
Oh, I can't withdraw your heart from mine
You're the one thing that sticks right onto my side
No, I can't withdraw your heart from mine
How'd I get so stuck, so stuck to your side?
No I can't withdraw your heart from mine
You're the one thing that sticks, right into my side
And I've got a lot to lose, you've got a lot to prove
I've got a lot to risk, you know I can't afford to miss
So we're gonna run around forever just typing
Thinking of what could have been mine and
I know you say you're sorry you'll type back before
Running round in limbo, running round it all
(Running round in limbo, running round it all)
Show me that there's something I could go back for
Show me that there's love worth fighting for
Give me a good reason to believe at all
Running round in limbo, running round it all
If you say you're scared then I'm terrified
If you say you're ready then I'm justified
If you say it's easy then you've crossed the line
If you say it's over then I'm in denial
Show me that there's something I could go back for
Show me that there's love worth fighting for
Give me a good reason to believe at all
Running round in limbo, running round it all
And I've got a lot to lose, you've got a lot to prove
Show me that there's something I could go back for
(Show me that there's love)
'Cause we're running round in limbo, running round it all
(Show me that there's love)
Show me that there's something I could go back for
(Show me that there's love)
Show me, cause we're running round in limbo, running round it all
You heard the crickets of the early eve
They lurk around the opening in two's & three's
Clementine told you not to move with the breeze
I'll take you down to places where we dare not speak
The red light in the doorway says she's armed
But boy go try your luck and you might get pass
Step into the dwelling of the liger's mouth
Peer into the panic for a kick and swell
You know you shouldn't be there but it's way past bed
There's comfort in the fingers of your good intent
You know you shouldn't be there but your money's all spent
You've got your reputation and your good intent
Your good intent
Out to feed that habit when you've sowed that seed
Nothing made you feel out of the ordinary
But the air turns sombre and the night took heed
Took you on a waltz of hypocrisy
She broke your bones, now you're lying in the dirt
The shadow of a hunter under your torn shirt
It's not enough to say, it's not what's in your heart
You've tainted every moment till death do we part
I know you didn't mean it, boy you meant so well
The pennies are cascading down your wishing well
I know you didn't mean it when you counted to ten
You're slipping through the fingers of your good intent
I know you didn't mean it, though you meant so well
The pennies are cascading down your wishing well
I know you didn't mean it when you counted to ten
You got your reputation and your good intent
Such a good intent
It's not enough to hope for the best
It's not enough to lie there on a brace
The liger's on the prowl now you've pulled its strings
This is nonstop baby
You've got me going crazy
You're heavier than I knew
But I don't want no other
You're my cameo love
Only here for a moment or two
You stay inside that bubble
With all of your trouble
In your black hole
You turn from the skies
You dance with your demise
I'll be here when you come home
We've all gotta break down
Let me come and break down, there with you
Cause everyday's like talking in your sleep!
Love is like a silhouette in dreams!
Open up your heart! Open up your heart!
Open up your heart and let me pull you out
Everyday's like talking in your sleep!
Love is like a silhouette in dreams!
Open up your heart! Open up your heart!
Open up your heart and let me pull you out of here
I've got high hopes baby
But all you do is take me down to depths that I never knew
You've got two arms baby
They're all tangled in ladies of the black skies posing blue
Let go of your mother
And turn to your brother!
Not a long gone lover's noose
Sometimes baby the hardest part of breaking
Is leaving pieces behind you
Oh we've all gotta get by
Let me come and hold you high, with you
Cause everyday's like talking in your sleep!
Love is like a silhouette in dreams!
Open up your heart! Open up your heart!
Open up your heart and let me pull you out
Everyday's like talking in your sleep!
Love is like a silhouette in dreams!
Open up your heart! Open up your heart!
Open up your heart and let me pull you out of here
Open up your heart to me!
The sun won't shine if you're not looking
Baby love is all that you need
When everyday's like talking in your sleep!
Love is like a silhouette in dreams!
Open up your heart! Open, open, open...
Everyday's like talking in your sleep!
Love is like a silhouette in dreams!
Open up your heart! Open up your heart!
Open up your heart and let me pull you out
Open up your heart! Open up your heart!
Open up your heart! Open up your heart!
I'm gonna play with my card hope that I find the love talking bout
gonna get out of the past nothing is left that I'm talking bout

Stop, get closer feel it in the air
(Yeah you)
Can I hold out my hand?
Make you listen to me, help you understand
Why you make me high
Can I tell you all the reasons why?
Won't you slow down I
Just need a moment of your time
It's electric baby
I could be the one or I could be just crazy
(I know you've been hurt before)
I can tell it in the way you're wanting more
I know the game you're playing
I wanna break the rules, stop your questioning
[Hook:]
Call me

Striking all your poses
You think I don't notice that you're everywhere?
(Yeah you)
Can I hold out my hand?
Make you mine forever, all the money I could spend
Looking out for you
Let me take you out where you want to
(I'm gonna hold you I got nothing to lose tonight I'm all tight)
I wanna let go with you
Wait for a moment alone with you
(See that golden light
That shines each time we walk by?)
It's electric baby
Come and take a chance on all the dreams you're dreaming
[Hook:]
Nothing's gonna bring us down
Nothing's gonna bring us down
(Come bring your love around me)
Nothing's gonna bring us down
Nothing's gonna bring us down
(Come bring your trust around me)
Nothing's gonna bring us down
Nothing's gonna bring us down
(I won't let you stay lonely)
Nothing's gonna bring us down
(Come bring your love)
Nobody understands
I got love but I ain't got plans
You make me high
Can I tell you all the reasons why?
The night is nigh and it's coming fast
Feel like little kids at school skipping class
Come break the law with me
Listen to me, I'm the one you're really waiting for
[Hook:]
Nothing's gonna bring us down
Nothing's gonna bring us down
(Come bring your love around me)
Nothing's gonna bring us down
Nothing's gonna bring us down
(Come bring your trust around me)
Nothing's gonna bring us down
Nothing's gonna bring us down
(I won't let you stay lonely)
Nothing's gonna bring us down
(Come bring your love)
I got what you want, baby don't move, when they move along
Get tight, get it tough, everyone's fighting for the one they want
I got what you want, baby don't move, when they come for me
Get tight, get it tough, everyone's fighting for the one they want
I got what you want, baby don't move, when they move along
it's no use we're gonna have to fight
you're throwing words one thousand times
like a child who can't empathize
i'm gon' speak along but you don't read my signs
you wanna know what i really mean
you wanna know what i'm doing with you
there's a fire burning up in here
see the smoke coming out of my ears
oh no, we going down
trouble's gonna find us
we're all alone
i wanna show what i really mean
but you're always on the outside looking in
oh boy, come into my head
come inside right into my head
oh boy, come into my head
i just wanna have you looking around
through my head i'm not immaculate
and every time i can shock you more
what it's like to be in my dimension
i'll be the center of your attention
listen to what it says i do
the quiet parts and the cranking in my style
combine the poetry falling in its cavity
oh no, we going down
trouble's gonna find us
we're all alone
i wanna show what i really mean
but you're always on the outside looking in
oh boy, come into my head
come inside right into my head
oh boy, come into my head
i just wanna have you looking around
oh boy, come into my head
come inside right into my head
oh boy, come into my head
i just wanna have you looking around
oh want a piece of my brain?
it's right in here,
get right in here and chop a bit down
oh want a piece of my brain?
oh want a piece of my brain?
it's right in here,
get right in here and chop a bit down
oh want a piece of my mind?
da, da da da da da da
la-da-da-da da
la-da-da-da da
la-da-da-da da
like a fire running through my veins
it's my dna and my chemistry
from the puers of the congregation
never know the real salvation
you wanna know what i really mean baby
you wanna know what i really need
there's a fire burning up in here
see the smoke coming out of my ears
oh no, we going down
trouble's gonna find us
we're all alone
i wanna show what i really mean
but you're always on the outside looking in
oh no, come into my head
come inside right into my head
oh no, come into my head
i just wanna have you looking around
oh want a piece of my brain?
it's right in here,
get right in here and chop a bit down
oh want a piece of my brain?
oh want a piece of my mind?
VERSE 1
Something got me out of my---
Slumber in the broken night
Watching you across the room
Shadowed by the placid moon
And I can feel it in my bones
Something that nobody knows
How it really feels inside
To let go of all my pride
PRE-CHORUS
I sense it, I feel it
I sense it, I feel it
CHORUS 1
It's something in the way you lie
It's something so hard to find
It's something in the way you slept
Something's always left me wanting
It's something in the way you smile
That makes you (silly drunk?)...
Something in the way you are
Something in the way you are
VERSE 2
I'm wondering about your childhood
Wonder if you were misunderstood
I'm watching you inside your head
I wonder if you know how long I can
And I can feel it in my bones
I love all of the sticks and stones
And every little word you say
You're breaking me in the best way
CHORUS 1
It's something in the way you lie
It's something so hard to find
It's something in the way you slept
Something's always left me wanting
It's something in the way you smile
That makes you silly?
Something in the way you are
Something in the way you are
CHORUS 2
It's something... (tough?)
It's something... (I can get enough?)
It's something (when you make big sounds?)
It's something (that can break you down?)
It's something when you raise your voice
You know I don't have a choice
It's something in the way you are
Something in the way you are
BRIDGE
You're my (favorite) pastime
And then you're just passing by
Stay a little while
It's only you and I
You're my (favorite) pastime
Even when you're just passing by
Stay a little while
It's only you and I
CHORUS 1
I feel the 4 become 5
And I'm waiting, waiting, waiting
For you to walk down the boulevard
and
To take me, take me, take me
But the moment you appear
You wake me, wake me, wake me
Out of the slumbers of my head
From the slums of loneliness
And there's no conspiracy
Behind the way to heist me
When love is a two way street
(Love is a two way street)
And I think I'm ready
To let you get under my skin
I can't make you fall for me
(Love is a two way street)
We're coming close to our fate
They'll put a star beside our names
But I couldn't care for the history
When I've got you in front of me
The cars could all collide
The shards of glass
won't catch my eye
Because you're almost by my side
We're counting down at the green light
And there's no conspiracy
Behind the way to heist me
When love is a two way street
(Love is a two way street)
And I think I'm ready
To let you get under my skin
I can't make you fall for me
Went from cities to touch the suburbs
On the highway, but I'm barefoot
I need a map but not the destination
Need a compass but not a conversation
I want to run far from this grey town
You're on every street, marked on the ground
Not the meant and not the paint
Want the price but not the raise
I want the jump but not the height
Let me fall but catch me mid flight
I swam with sharks and beasts of the sea
Only went down for the company
Went down for the company
I forgot to mention:
That you would come back home when I call
Left no sign, nothing at all
Sorry you won't fit inside my heart
I wanted love without the build up
I need the rules but not the regulations
Want the wisdom but not the information
Need the light but not the heat of the day
Need your hands to show me how to pray
I lost the plot underneath the fire
Of all the dots and lines that took me higher
Away from traffic and smiles of tire
I like the nights but not the tangled wires
Need the pulse to feel alive
All the world's just made it seem all quiet
This has all become far too loud
I like you more when you don't make a sound
You will come back home when I call
Left no sign, nothing at all
Sorry you won't fit inside my heart
Won't you come light the way and wash this away
My hands are tired
But my eyes are open
This modern denial
Has me broken
Nothing mystical
No hullabaloo
Just chemicals
And noone looking down on you
What am I thinking? (If you're so sure it's rational)
While the worlds shrinking? (but that don't make it
logical)
What am I thinking? (If you say I'm just an animal)
I feel like I'm sinking (you can't explain away the way
I feel! )
You're just pushing me down, pushing me down, pushing
me down
(They tell you 'Trust your head, be like men' but never
feel like you're good enough)
You're just crushing me down, crushing me down,
crushing me down
(They wana take our light, make us fight, but never cry
for the ones you love! )
(I'll be your warrior, warrior)
You're taking over
And I'm feeling small
When I was a child
I knew it all
Nothing magical
No hologram behind the door
Just a chain reaction
But I know I'm made for more!
What am I thinking? (If you're so sure it's rational)
While the worlds shrinking? (but that don't make it
logical)
What am I thinking? (If you say I'm just an animal)
I feel like I'm sinking (you can't explain away the way
I feel! )
And you're just pushing me down, pushing me down,
pushing me down
(They tell you, 'Trust your head, be like men' but
never feel like you're good enough)
You keep crushing me down, crushing me down, crushing
me down
(They wanna take our light, make us fight, but never
cry for the ones you love! )
And you're just pushing me down, pushing me down,
pushing me down
(You wana change the world, but your girls will be seen
and not be heard! )
You just crushing me down, crushing me down, crushing
me down
(They wana take our light, make us fight, but never cry
remember that night. secrets said. you doubted you'd
always want me there. remember that time. fears were fed.
i chased you up to the street. one of our lows. how could
I make you feel that way. but the road will rise for us.
the sun will shine for us. like glue it's stuck to us.
remember that place. shields were shed. i wish we could
close our eyes and be there. remember that day. we looked
dead. we said all there was to say. heaven knows. how did
we live another day. but the road will rise for us. the
sun will shine for us. like glue we're stuck to us.
remember that night. curled in bed. we said all there was
sometimes i watch you when you sleep. watch your eyes
move while you dream. you look so far away. your pretty
mask burns up inside to hold monsters at bay. this city
tears your soul away. you wonder if it's worth the stay.
i've been feeling that way. our glimpse behind the brick
facade reveals despair, decay. this beautiful charade. we
were the last to know it. leaders of the parade. we were
the last to know. i know exactly what you'll say even
before you speak. and i know just what you are. but i
can't see the gathering storm that changes sun to gray.
this beautiful charade. i was the last to know it. leader
of the parade. you were the last to know. you always know
Phase one you went away.
promised in love we'd stay.
and that we wouldn't stray.
three months ago with hope abound.
Phase two you made the call.
soaked through in alcohol not what you wanted at all.
all broken up and broken down.
now that you're gone don't have much to say.
were we all wrong to think that we could win the day.
shaky then strong.
even as we walk away our minds are changing.
Phase three we're on again.
when you couldn't find a friend dance
with it now and then.
might be the one you'd like around.
Phase four you say goodbye.
can't say we didn't try.
left here to wonder why shattered on the floor like
broken glass.
now that you're gone.
don't know why i stay.
I should have known that our skies could turn.
from sun to gray.
don't feel too strong.
even as we talk away.
do the right thing.
we've scratched until it bled.
choose the right thing.
let's give it half a chance.
the world is open.
circumvent our circumstances.
the door is open.
give it half a chance.
choose the right one.
to this thing we're wed.
let's do the right thing.
before our dream is dead.
the door is open.
to adolescent romances.
the door is open.

we scratched until it bled.
let's choose the right thing.
before our dream is dead.
the door is open.
to adolescent romances.
the door is open.
we fall in love. happy as clams. play out our roles.
bleed until there's nothing left. we fall in love. happy
as mud. play out our parts. tear each other down with no
regrets. question our sanity each time we say that there
is nothing wrong with us. question our needs every time
that we stay. don't understand what's wrong with us. we
fall in love. happy as bugs. play out our hands. feed
until there's nothing left. we fall in love. happy as
shit. play out our games. wear each other down with no
takes me down underneath its weight. it is my master. i
will drown underneath its sea it spells disaster.
underneath its sea all's lost and found. until it's
swallowed whole what's yours no way to ever know how much
this can weigh. hollowed-out and broken. feeling i have
lost control. and everything is gray. my dark cloud
hovers overhead. constant companion. wrapped in dark
shroud. lie alone in bed bottomless canyon. lie alone in
bed all's lost and found. until it's swallowed whole
what's yours no way to ever know how much this can weigh.
hollowed-out and broken. feeling i have lost control.
i am so tired of this conscious sleep. lethargic, low and
uninspired. sinking ever deep. wallow in wet cement. i'm
mired. crush me underneath it all. pull me from the
bathed warm in sepia tone
filtered through time, still not half grown
framed memories of summertime
endless and safe, still skin and bone
years before the nest was flown
airbrushed, sublime, truth still unknown
before the first curve was thrown
it calls you to come back home
sentiment now long since gone
life in its prime eats up its own
what once was a stepping-stone enthralls you
you can't go home
come back home
i'm guilty. i've got closets full of bones i try to hide.
really try. i know what you don't know can't hurt you.
but i'm burning up inside. unburdened. so clean. come
clean. that clean. i warn you that all this stuff locked
up in here could explode out. then you're on fire. so
hungry for that decompression. confession will provide.
unburdened. so clean. come clean. that clean. i know all
I'm on my way, today.
Boxed up and retreated to my dismay.
I don't like this room.
Stench of smoke, stale booze perfume.
Cut at the knees, again.
Packed in, defeated and shedding skin.
I am exposed and been stored and secreted to my chagrin.
There's nothing in this room.
No myths left here to exhume.
What you deserve when you assume you're safe up on the
tightrope.
if faith is blind.
then what does vision find.
and where will it lead me to this time.
stop or start.
can i bear to one day buy.
sight unseen.
when i fall.
you let me slip away.
farther.
when i fall.
you're all i see.
with insides dead.
defeated by thoughts in my head.
and what will be my choice this time.
head or heart.
will it wear my sunday brown and green.
where to place the blame.
my own self.
where to hang the blame.
be mindful what you toss way. be careful what you push
away. think hard before walking away. are you sleeping
real tight. safe and warm. in your own little world
tonight. will you burn with the last song you hear. be
cautious when you fire away. be wary what you piss away.
think twice before fading away. are you sleeping real
tight. safe and warm. in your own little world tonight.
will you burn with the last song you hear. are you
sleeping allright. safe and warm. in your sweet little
world tonight. will you learn it's the last song you
fear. last song you hear. last song you hear. last song
you hear Wait our goal: the corporeal. with brains that
ache. this exercise has found no answers. will you wait
for me. we search for something real. a thousand times we
close our eyes. to what comes after. wait. so afraid of
what comes after. we take what we can steal. our bodies
ache. we temporize. exhaust the language. but you'll wait
to see. we fail to close the deal. a thousand crimes. we
my best of friends. this is so familiar. we try to
pretend. nothing's wrong. this crutch that we both lean
on. tell me that it's fine and dandy. but she said
improbable. we're stop and go. we're high and low. and
moving slow. just say you'll keep running back to me.
improbable she said. my funny friend. this feels so
peculiar. the worst ground to defend. we're standing on.
these word games you play on me. our language failed us
both completely. then you said impossible. it's what we
know. it's to and fro. and moving slow. just say you'll
keep hanging in with me. improbable she said. my closest
friend. looking like the weight of the world. is on your
shoulders in my room. where you suffer. there's no upside
now. i know you suffer. there's no upside now. i know you
suffer. there's no upside. but there's still something
left for me. but there's something left for me. i know
there's something left for me. i know there's something.
like faded photos. home movies in your head. their theme
of self-defeating. with insides peeling. a spineless mass
without a shell. to have always known this feeling well.
the more you want it. the more you slip away. this theme
of quick retreating. with insides screaming. through
sleepless nights an endless hell. to have always known
this feeling. still so self-aware. while you fight for
some light through the gloom. the boy is still there.
alone on his bed in his room. just laugh at yourself.
with thoughts this would somehow be. so damn easy. to
have been down there. and remained sane. to choke for
some air. and drown in rain. to have always been down
Hay algunos besos dificiles de dar y ahy algun secreto que no puedo acultar, mientras va mueriendo el dia y sin perder la fe, mendigando besos me ire.

Conocerte
Algunas se escaparon sin mí
y otras doblaron la ciudad por no verme
yo rogué, soñé y pensé
quizás no sea el momento de buscar conocerte
Cansado de perder me perdí
tal vez un día cambiará mi destino
ya probé, busque y grite
para dar con los ojos que se queden conmigo
Y así
fui equivocando el camino hacia vos
sin ti
fui tropezando con besos sin sabor
Hasta que un día en que solo llovía
empapada y descalza la vi
la mujer que en sus sueños buscaba
morir junto a mí
Y así cambie mi dirección
por este amor profundo
y así aprendí a vivir mejor
con besos de otro mundo
Te doy lo que yo soy
te doy mi corazón solo a cambio del tuyo
Si algún día te vas yo seré
el mas triste del mundo
Berjalan di tanah gersang
Mentari mencengkam dada
Debu-debu di jalanan
Menjadi teman setia
Tiada lain tujuanku
Hati emas yang ku cari
Kisahnya di hujung dunia
Mengapa tak ku temui
Oh! Terdengar suara halus
Bagai dengar dan menghilang
Katanya pulanglah oh anakku
Ia tiada di sini
Kembara
Puas sudah ku mengembara
Ke mana perginya oh cahaya
Mencari hati emas bukannya mudah
Di masa kini adakah kau peduli
Mungkinkah dikau miliki
Hati emas murni suci
Inginku menjadi sahabatmu
Hingga akhir hayat nanti
Kembara
Puas sudah ku mengembara
Ke mana perginya oh cahaya
Mencari hati emas bukannya mudah
Ada yang panggil ringgit
Ada yang panggil dollar
Ada yang panggil baht
Ada yang panggil rupiah
Semua ini duit
Bikin orang belit
Duit! Duit!
Di mana kau duit
Duit! Duit!
Duit! Duit!
Hutangku membukit
Duit! Duit!
Ada yang benci duit
Ada yang cinta duit (Bikin perut buncit)
Skandal sana sini
Punca semua duit
Cari duit halal
Agar jangan kesal
Duit! (4x)
Duit, duit beli duit
Duit! (4x)
Duit, buat beli cinta
Ramai orang yang berkata
Duit punca banyak dosa
Jangan sampai makan rasuah
Nanti bangsa jadi musnah
Duit! Duit!
Di mana kau duit
Duit! Duit!
Duit! Duit!
Hutangku membukit
Duit! Duit!
Duit! (4x)
Duit, duit beli duit
Duit! (4x)
Duit, buat beli cinta
Zaman ini zaman duit
Tak ada duit diri tersepit
Tapi jangan jadi hamba duit
Nanti musnah diri sendiri
Ada orang senang kerja di pejabat
Pergi pagi pulang jam lima tepat
Ada yang kerja makan gaji, dia tak suka
Dia lebih senang berniaga, niaga, niaga, niaga
Niaga, niaga, niaga
Kerja, kerja, kerja (2x)
Kolar, kolar biru
Aku pekerja kolar, kolar biru
Mesin dan jentera jadi, jadi temanku
Aku pekerja kolar, kolar biru
Aku tak senang kerja di pejabat
Berpakaian rapi dan bertali leher
Biar debu dan bahang meresap di kulitku
Aku lebih senang menjadi aku, aku, aku
Aku, aku, aku
Kerja, kerja, kerja (2x)
Kolar, kolar biru
Aku pekerja kolar, kolar biru
Mesin dan jentera jadi, jadi temanku
Benarkah tiada bagiku
Ruang di hatimu untukku bertapak
Walaupun sejengkal jari
Agar dapat ku berdiri
Di ambang pintumu
Ke mana hilangnya keroncong
Oh cinta yang kita nyanyikan bersama
Atau pun aku yang bersalah
Hanya menepuk tangan sebelah saja
Ana (4x)
Ke mana hilangnya keroncong
Oh cinta yang kita nyanyikan bersama
Atau pun aku yang bersalah
Hanya menepuk tangan sebelah saja
Ana (4x)
Tiada ku sangka akhirnya
Kau tutup semua pintu cinta untukku
Hingga ku termenggu
Tiada arah nak ku tuju
Express, Express, Express Rakyat
Express, Express, Express Rakyat

Cepat-cepat, jangan terlambat

Jam delapan akan berangkat
Jentera yang membawa berbagai rupa
Tidak kira tua ataupun yang muda
Bergerak laju mengikut waktu
Meniti landasan berliku tanpa jemu

Membawa daku keliling ke tanah airku
Berbagai-bagai yang boleh kita lihat
Desa yang permai dengan sawah ladang
Gunung-ganang kuning hijau dedaunan
Ada dara manis sedang menjemur kain
Anak kecil di atas kerbau melambai-lambai
Membawa daku keliling ke tanah airku
Laju-laju kehidupan di ibukota
Kalau selalu lambat takkan ke mana-mana
Kiri kanan jalan, jentera berdesakan
Membawa daku ke alam impian
Oh! Siapakah yang datang bersama malam
Dan memuramkan wajah siang hariku
Oh! Engkaukah, aku tak ingin menjemputmu
Biarlah kau hanya berdiri di depan pintu
Kau hancurkan hatiku
Kau musnahkan harapanku
Pulanglah ke tempat asalmu
Tempat asalmu
Oh! Bilakah gerhana kan pergi dari sisiku
Pergilah engkau dengan janji-janji palsumu
Gerhana, oh gerhana, oh gerhana
Dalam jiwaku
Gerhana, oh gerhana, oh gerhana
Dalam jiwaku
Oh! Bilakah gerhana kan pergi dari sisiku
Pergilah engkau dengan janji-janji palsumu
Kini ku berlari jauh
Tapi kau masih mencari
Pulanglah ke tempat asalmu
Tempat asalmu
Gerhana, oh gerhana, oh gerhana
Dalam jiwaku
Gerhana, oh gerhana, oh gerhana
Setelah lama berjauhan
Baru kini engkau terasa
Sedalam mana cinta
Yang terbenam di lubuk hatiku
Apakah sebenarnya
Rahsia yang engkau sembunyikan
Hingga sanggup berpaling
Dari hakikat sebenar-benarnya
Marilah ku huraikan
Kekusutan yang engkau alami
Sambil kita nyanyikan
Keroncong cinta kita dahulu
Ana (3x)
Marilah ku huraikan
Kekusutan yang engkau alami
Sambil kita nyanyikan
Keroncong cinta kita dahulu
Ana (3x)
Bentangkanlah lembaran
Kasih sayang baru untuk kita
Dan semoga hendaknya
Malam
Bila rinduku bertambah dalam
Kau datang lagi dengan kenangan
Oh betapa dinginnya malam ini
Kasih
Bila malamku bertambah kelam
Seribu kisah melintas mata
Dan malam ini sungguh mencengkam
Bila malam
Tiap kali ku pandang semalam
Resahku sering menjadi dendam
Hatimu ku rasakan dingin
Dan malam
Adalah masa yang membawa kesan
Pada diriku yang kesepian
Kini ku tenggelam
Di bawah alunan ombak malam
Oh malam
Bila malam
Tiap kali ku pandang semalam
Resahku sering menjadi dendam
Hatimu ku rasakan dingin
Dan malam
Jika dikau dapat bicara
Katakanlah pada hamba
Mengapa dia pergi membawa hati ini
Oh mengapa

Dalam iklim tropika
Wujud ribuan pulau
Yang penuh dengan keindahan
Alam maya Nusantara
Insan beratus juta
Walau lain bicara
Namun masih satu budaya bangsa
Jati Nusantara
Nusantara (2x)
Luas terbentang ladang
Untuk kita berjuang

Kepadamu kekasih
Aku berserah
Kerana ku tahu kau lebih mengerti
Apa yang terlukis di cermin wajahku ini
Apa yang tersirat di hati
Bersama amali
Kepadamu kekasih
Aku bertanya
Apakah kau akan menerimaku kembali
Atau harus menghitung lagi
Segala jasa dan bakti
Atau harus mencampakku ke sisi
Tanpa harga diri
Hanya padamu kekasih
Aku tinggalkan
Jawapan yang belum ku temukan
Yang bakal aku nantikan
Bila malam menjemputku lena beradu
Kepadamu kekasih
Aku serahkan
Jiwa dan raga
Jua segalanya
Apakah kau akan menerima penyerahan ini
Apakah kau akan menerimaku
Bayangkan kau seekor kupu-kupu
Sedang berterbangan dalam sebuah taman
Kau tak tahu akan nasibmu
Kau hanya terbang mencari madumu
Dulunya kau buta
Tak tahu
Dalam kepompongmu
Dalam kepompongmu
Kini lihatlah semua
Lihat sekelilingmu
Lihat sekelilingmu
Warna sayapku mungkin gemerlap
Indah mata memandang bila ku terbang
Tapi hanya masa akan menentukan
Bila ku dijadikan perhiasan dinding
Aku kecil dan tak berkuasa
Ku tak berkuasa
Ku tak berkuasa
Namun mataku tak dapat terlindung
Dari melihat akan kecurangan
Yang benar tetap benar
Walau dipertikaikan
Yang salah tetap salah
Walau diselindungkan
Dari itu jangan kau tangkap aku
Siang malam peras kepala
Untuk menghasilkan sebuah karya
Tapi alangkah sedih di hati
Jika kerjanya tidak dihargai
Andai terjadi pada diri anda
Apakah agaknya yang dirasa
Banyak modal sudah ditanam
Melibatkan ramai pekerja
Tapi bila masa memungut hasil
Alangkah kesal wangnya tak setimpal
Andai terjadi pada diri anda
Apakah agaknya yang dirasa
Cetak rompak - Menghampakan seni negara
Cetak rompak - Kita harus membasmikannya
Cetak rompak - Adalah satu kerja salah
Cetak rompak - Oh inilah masanya
Oh untuk kita bertindak
Dan harus bekerjasama
Tidak kira corak ciptaan
Lagu, buku mahupun filem
Patutkah kita yang berpenat lelah
Orang lain yang memungut untungnya
Andai terjadi pada diri anda
Apakah agaknya yang dirasa
Memanglah seni kebanggaan
Wang bukan perkara utama
Tapi jikalau tanpa wang
Apa dapatkah kita teruskan
Andai terjadi pada diri anda
Apakah agaknya yang dirasa
Cetak rompak - Menghampakan seni negara
Cetak rompak - Kita harus membasmikannya
Cetak rompak - Adalah satu kerja salah
Cetak rompak - Oh inilah masanya
Oh untuk kita bertindak
Dan harus bekerjasama
Cetak rompak - Menghampakan seni negara
Cetak rompak - Kita harus membasmikannya
Cetak rompak - Adalah satu kerja salah
Cetak rompak - Oh inilah masanya
Cetak rompak - Untuk kita bertindak
Cetak rompak
Cetak rompak
Empat penjuru
Empat tembok bisu
Memandang kejam padaku
Dalam penjara
Di luar penjara
Manakah tempat ku mengadu
Wahai temanku
Dengar kataku
Jangan kau ikut aku
Jalan yang lurus aku tak lalu
Ku ikut jalan berliku
Oh oh ibu
Tolong anakmu
Oh oh ayah
Dengar rayuku
Kini ku tahu aku bersalah
Menghidu bunga berbisa
Ku sangka syurga tapi sengsara
Kini ku terima balasannya
Bantulah aku wahai saudara
Mencari tujuan hidup
Hindarkan aku dari khayalan
Ku ingin hidup di alam nyata
Oh oh ibu
Tolong anakmu
Oh oh ayah
Ku capai jaket biru usang
Keluar dari pintu belakang
Menuju tempat bersembang
Cerita bukan kepalang
Kutu
Berpidato sepanjang malam
Hingga pandangan menjadi kelam
Komen sana komen sini
Sudah nasib hidup begini
Bukan semua orang mengerti
Jika aku berpakaian begini
Seluar denggeri berwarna biru
Sepatu getah oh budaya kutu
Lebih bercakap dari bekerja
Relaks katanya
Kutu
Bukan semua orang mengerti
Jika aku berpakaian begini
Seluar denggeri berwarna biru
Sepatu getah oh budaya kutu
Lebih bercakap dari bekerja
Relaks katanya
Ku tidak rumitkan fikiran
Bersembang jadi kegemaran
Kalau bosan duduk rumah
Jumpa di kompleks beli-belah
Kutu
Tak tahu mengapa ku begini
Mungkin ini kesan kemajuan
Tapi apapun terjadi
Hey brother! Bukan aku nak mengada-ngada
Tapi kau tahu aku pun punya rasa
Ha! Ha! Ha! Haru!
Ha! Ha! Ha! Haru!
Tak peduli aku tetap aku
Tak peduli apa katamu
Orang boleh kaya dengan menipu
Hey brother! Bagaimana aku?
Kau nak halang aku
Halang mereka dulu
Tiada undang-undang
Dalam hutan batu
Ha! Ha! Ha! Haru!
Ha! Ha! Ha! Haru!
Aku akan lari kalau kena kejar
Siapa yang bijak jadi orang besar
Jangan kau sedih, jangan gusar
Hey brother! Kita mesti terus hidup
Haru!
Haru!
Haru!
Haru!
Kucing! Kucing! Kucing!
Jaga! Jaga! Jaga!
Lari!
Oh aku hidup tanpa subsidi
Tak tahu besok hidup atau mati
Jangan sedih, jangan gusar
Hey brother! Kita mesti terus hidup
Haru!
Haru!
Haru!
Burung camar hinggap di jejari
Seorang nelayan sedang bermimpi
Mimpi tentang duyung...Mimpi tentang untung
Bibit hanyut dibawa ombak Laut China Selatan
Dalam mimpi berkata sang duyung
Wahai nelayan kau anak laut
Di sini tempatmu di sini rezekimu
Pengorbanan yang kau lakukan...Ada balasannya
Mega mendung...Laut pun bergoncang
Nelayan tersentak hidup sesat haluan
Sang mentari terlindung...Pantai tak kelihatan
Tawar kau jalan akhirnya...
Dalam pondok kecil beratap rumbia
Seorang ibu memandang hari muka
Sambil ia menyusukan bayi yang kehausan
Ufuk timur hilang dari pandangan
Wahai anak yang sedang menangis
Mungkin kini engkau tak mengerti
Bila kau dewasa dan pandai nanti
