Slowly moving onwards -
Perceive the light of day
Hazy in the distance -
No need for delay
A piercing ray of sunlight -
The moring will prevail
Horizons getting clearer -
The darkness lifts her veil
A myraid of colours -
A rainbow drop of dew
Scatters iron bridges -
Of thoughts I always knew
A turbulent upheaval -
The water froths and churns
As if the cool surroundings -
Is laughing as it burns
A river flowing to the sea
No way of knowing its destiny
Skipping over stones and telling stories
Of a life carried along
The water making up a song
Settling for the motions -
Of pathways preordained
All must travel onwards -
The riverbed maintained
Delight in our confinement -
Make haste and join the fray
The stone of life is rolling -
No time to halt and play
A river flowing to the sea
No way of knowing its destiny
Skipping over stones and telling stories
Of a life carried along
The water making up a song
A space opens before me -
A journey's at an end
Pain or true salvation -
What's waiting round the bend?
Mingling with the silence -
I hear a distant roar
The end I had imagined -
Is just another door
A river flowing to the sea
No way of knowing its destiny
Skipping over stones and telling stories
Of an end that never is
The sky is dark and the sun shines on the street
We leave the city to escape from its heat
The days are short and everyone stays in bed
A common numbness taking over your head
Buried alive between blocks of stones
We call the devil every day on our phones
And we're just players on a tiny stage
In the book of life just a single page
Staring at each other
At our sisters and our brothers
Life has lost its sense
It's just a short premortal dance
Don't know how long we'll be in this game
The world surrounds us like a giant frame
The time has come to break out of your chains
To save the best when nothing remains
Staring at each other
At our sisters and our brothers
Life has lost its sense
What is it you're watching?
What is it you see?
Tell me all about your
Little mystery
All of the questions I asked you
You've only denied
You tell me it's true
But I got the impression you lied
One is what your saying
Two is what you mean
Can I really trust you
after all I've seen?
All of the questions I asked you
You've only denied
You tell me it's true
But I got the impression you lied
Everyday I think of
The secret that you keep
I'd like to read your thoughts
But they are much too deep
All of the questions I asked you
You've only denied
You tell me it's true
Just another tragic song
Just another story that's gone wrong
Just another teardrop in someone else's eye
Just another way to say goodbye
Here I am, writing letters in my head
Here I am, the words have somehow all been said
Here I am, painting patterns in a frame
Here I am, the pictures are all somehow the same
Tell me how I'm supposed to stray?
When all I love has made freedom slip away
And I no longer feel the pain
The grey exterior has finally kept me sane
And there I was, wondering what our way will be
Here I'll be, knowing that way never was
Tell me how I'm supposed to stray?
When all I love has made freedom slip away
And I no longer feel the pain
The grey exterior has kept me sane
All the people stranded on the moon
Trying to recapture a feeling gone to soon
See them straining onwards to catch what they can't have
The pain of revelation lights the way
Tell me how I'm supposed to stray?
When all I love has made freedom slip away
And I no longer feel the pain
The grey exterior has kept me sane
Just another tragic song
Just another story that's gone wrong
Just another teardrop in someone else's eye
Wake up to the sound of laughter
Cherubs smiling down at me
Live in peace for ever after
Paradise under this tree
Straight to the heart -Down to the bone
Courage runs deep -Snakes fall asleep
God's recreation defies our creation
Yin and Yang have lost their meaning
Navigate the cracks between
Eve has done the world's spring cleaning
Polished apples show their sheen
Straight to the heart -Down to the bone
Courage runs deep -Snakes fall asleep
Caught on a nameless plain,
don't know where my mind has taken me
There's nothing I could name,
all I have is a broken memory
Fragments of a time and place
where things were like their names
Now all I have is a rhyme
and here the echoes play their games
deny it - defile it - believe it - conceive it
I wander far and wide
and seek the reel that I have lost
Who wants to be my guide
and lead me over a road I've never crossed
But as I twist and turn
my mind is nothing but a word
And as I realize -
these lines are getting quite absurd
deny it - defile it - believe it - conceive it
Caught on a nameless plain,
don't know where my mind has taken me
Now all I have is a rhyme
The reality of the dream lies in its sign
The image in the mirror and the I align
Night for day and day for black and white
Is a feeling so much realer than the real?
Is the truth that we seek locked behind a seal?
Do we hold the key in our two hands?
Like a beacon in the sky
Shines abright but it's a lie
There's nothing in that light
It's emptied itself out
Our trust in the truth is dead we killed it ourselves
It didn't make a sound, didn't have a story to tell
His/story is proven wrong again
And in the end is the end and end in itself?
Are all our thoughts stored neatly on a shelf?
Or are they scattered in an arbitrary way?
Like a beacon in the sky
Shines abright but it's a lie
There's nothing in that light
It's emptied itself out
And it's so easy
Life is so full of reflections -like stars in a lake
You try to catch them but they're just faked
Always involved in collisions -but I believe
That your mind has been decieved
This is your life - Go out and live it
Reach for the sky - Make sure you don't fall
this is your life - Make it vivid
Remember that the readiness is all
One day is just like another - no sight no sound
An aimless wandering around
All your life you've been waiting and thinking in grey
Why don't you green and blue today
This is your life - Go out and live it
Reach for the sky - Make sure you don't fall
this is your life - Make it vivid
Put on your slumming clothes and get your car
Let's go sightseeing where the high-toned people are
Come on, there's lots of fun in store for you
See how the other half lives on park avenue.
Let's go slumming, take me slumming
Let's go slumming on park avenue
Let us hide behind a pair of fancy glasses
And make faces when a member of the classes passes
Let's go smelling where they're dwelling
Sniffing ev'rything the way they do
Let us go to it, they do it
Why can't we do it too?
Let's go slumming, nose thumbing, at park avenue.
Let's go slumming, take me slumming
Let's go slumming on park avenue
Let us hide behind a pair of fancy glasses
And make faces when a member of the classes, passes
Let's go smelling where they're dwelling
Sniffing ev'rything the way they do
Let us go to it, they do it
Why can't we do it too?
Never in a million years
Could there be another you
I would shed a million tears
If ever we were through
Never in a million moons
Could you ever be surpassed
And darling, for a million Junes
This love of ours will last.
There would be no world for me
If ever we would part.
Where I go, your name will be
Right on the tip, of my heart,
For only once in every lifetime
Someone just like you appears
Is there any greater glory
Any greater thrill?
Never in a million years.
There would be no world for me
If ever we would part.
Where I go, your name will be
Right on the tip, the tip of my heart,
For only once in every lifetime
Someone just like you appears
Is there any greater glory
Any greater thrill?
The snow is snowing the wind is blowing
But I can weather the storm!
What do I care how much it may storm?
I've got my Love to keep me warm.
I can't remember a worse december
Just watch those icicles form!
What do I care if icicles form?
I've got my Love to keep me warm
Off with my overcoat, off with my gloves
I need no overcoat, I'm burning with love!
My heart's on fire, the flame grows higher
But I will weather the storm!
What do I care how much it may storm?
I've got my Love to keep me warm.
Off with my overcoat, off with my gloves
I need no overcoat, I'm burning with love!
My heart's on fire, the flame grows higher
So I will weather the storm!
What do I care how much it may storm?
Every morning, when I raise my blind
To greet another day
I begin by making up my mind
That it's my lucky day.
Then I turn my tower on
When it is going strong
I leave all my yesterdays behind
And stop .........
I'm shooting high,
Got my eye on a star in the sky,
Shooting high.
I'll never stop till I get to the top
Tell me why, shooting high.
You know it's you I'm after
You're my lucky star
I'm on a rainbow rafter
Climbing up to where you are
I'll have the time, it's a climb
But I'll make it `cos I'm
Pd… You'll never know just how much I love you,
You'll never know just how much I care.
And if I tried
I still couldn't hide
My love for you
You ought to know
For haven't I told you so
A million or more times?
Pd… You went away and my heart went with you
I speak your name in my every pray
If there is some other way
To prove that I love you
I swear I don't know how
You'll never know if you don't know now
Pd… How I miss you
I speak your name in my every pray
If there is some other way
To prove that I love you
I swear I don't know how
You'll never know if you don't know now …Pd.
How about a little celebration
To the jingle of a wedding bell?
How about a little reservation
At the Honeymoon Hotel?
Honeymooning's going to be my hobby.
Don't you think a honeymoon is swell?
Wait until we walk into the lobby
Of the Honeymoon Hotel.
Cupid is the night clerk
Neath the stars above;
He just loves his night work,
And, we just love to love.
Oh, I'm a mister looking for a missus.
As a missus, you'll do very well.
Bring along your things and all your kisses
To the Honeymoon Hotel.

Rose of Washington Square.
I'm withering there,
in basement air I'm fading.
Rose with all my fancy clothes
They say my turned up nose
It seems to please artistic people.
Foes, I've plenty of those.
With second-hand clothes, and nice long hair!
I've got those Broadway vampires last to the mast.
I've got no future, but oh! What a past.
I'm Rose of Washington Square.
Foes, I've plenty of those.
With second-hand clothes, and nice long hair!
I've got those Broadway vampires last to the mast.
I've got no future, but oh! What a past.
Just need to wake up
Trapped inside my hands, save me from falling down
Never ending sleep
And with life my hands, wings save me from crashing down
I spend hours looking blind, only a second to let me fall and
I feel the open sky and wait for it for saving myself
Downward spiral, gravity pulls
Attracted down, feels like there's nowhere safe where I can land now
Forever now my blood is running cold
Motions like knives while I drown
I hope that it is just a dream
Cry out loud this everlasting note
That echoes within my mind
I wish that it was just a dream
My arms to fight the wind, like needles piercing my skin
Lights are calling I never could see lost within this trance
Falling faster, slowly deeper
Pulled down, feel like there's no ground safe where I can land now
Save me from where I fall down
Always now, my eyes wide shut are, slow me down
It's tearing me to pieces
Don't pretend to tell us the truth, don't you know
Most of us are smart enough to find it out
They will never tell you
Write it down to all, write it down to all
We can see through
Write it down to all, write it down to all
They won't break you
They led us all astray
They will never tell you
Write it down to all, write it down to all
We can see through
What's left for us to see, what's left behind
I would show you another side
What's left for us to hear, what's left behind
I will show you another
You forget that they want you to follow blind
With no direction underneath their watchful eye
They will never tell you
Show your own colour, show your own colour
They control you
Write it down to all, write it down to all
We can see through
There must be a reason why you hide
Why hide behind the truth
When truth is hard to admit sometimes
Try to read between the lines
They will tell you nothing, only tell you what you want to hear
There's no more satisfaction for us to see
There's no more satisfaction for us to be
Be another follower
There's no need to be a fucking zombie
I am the ocean, I am the sun
Floating endlessly until I hit the ground
I am the ocean, I am the sun
Holding you in my hands
I came from the clouds
We never should have met
Swallow you up drag you down
Hold your breath until you
Drown, within, your, emptiness
Your heights in the depth running our to nowhere
The wind will never take you down
You drain me
Alleviate the paid and you suffocate
When all else is lost I run
Speak to me they speak to you
Everyday there's nothing in their sound
Resonate your own chant for me
I'll play no part until they're gone
I know it's always coming back
But there's no way you'll ever find a way out
I wait until you fall down
I force back down the thoughts inside
When everything moves so quickly from crashing down
I'll let the moment last for now
Burn the surface of the earth
You've got your head in the sand
I am chasing the horizon
Every time I move it gets away
You'll never find another place to hide out
And renew yourself
You want to see me empty but you won't
Speak to me they speak to you
Everyday there's nothing in their sound
Resonate your own chant for me
I'll play no part until they're gone
I know it's always coming back
But there's no way you'll ever find a way out
I wait until you fall down
Down, you drag me down
They're coming close
Feel the heat of torches burning bright
Open your eyes
And see there's no one left to help you get away
Feet stamping all around, I run
There's nowhere to hide ourselves
Walls are collapsing all around
It's on
Please burn me down if you think that you'll be safe
To live another life without forcing yourself
They think we've turned to flames the story
So burn me down to escape, break free from chains
To find another day where you can keep safe this secret
So tear it down
They'll never hear from where you are
Become you own
Faint memory of what you were before we ran
Feet stamping all around and run
There is nowhere to hide ourselves
Feet stamping all around and run
It's on
Please burn me down, let me burn, burn only ashes they'll find now
Please burn me down if you think that you'll be safe
To live another life without forcing yourself
They think we've turned to flames the story
So burn me down to escape, break free from chains
To find another day where you can keep safe this secret
They're coming close
Leave now I'll start the fire, run
Open your eyes
Talk, talk to those
Those who believe all your white lies
Everything you spread through word you rape
Walk, walk with those
Who follow you in your drone
I can't recall myself the way you lie
Sounding so perfect, pulled apart so easily
Have you ever tried to be you?
They fall on deaf ears
Lost in the sirens voices
Have you ever tried to listen
Noises so clear through all
All these whispers whistling
Brought it upon yourself, the way you act
Some I could accept with half of your smile
Have you ever tried to be real?
No matter what you say
Nothing will make you different
Words count more than I could pretend
What you say doesn't make sense anyway
I'm still a ghost of yesterday
Forgotten words won't reach me
All what you say does not make sense anyway
Words will never reach me
Nobody trusted me but I am so sure
I saw this light, forever finding me
Nobody believed me but I'll prove it
There is no reason for you to be afraid, everyone will trust what I say
If this is a legend, I will keep it for myself
If I am a legend, I will be saved
This must be hidden
I will find out the answers shimmering
I'll show you all that glitters is gold
This must be hidden
This just cannot be something I created
I'll dig out what's untold
I'll dig it out, I'll find what's hidden within
I'll find it in the reflected rays
I've waited for you
You've called me tonight
I ran without a clue
I followed your bright light
You're the only thing that I knew
You're the only thing that I saw
Don't let me down tonight
What you take from me
I'll dig it out
It's time for me to find it out
I'm ready to find
Nobody has seen it but I know now
This is how, my reflection killed me
Nobody will find out but I tell you
My own grace beneath my hands, stop the pain now I understand
If this is a legend I will keep it for myself
I see it in your face,You're looking out into space,
I see you lookin, I see you lookin,
You're looking out into space
I see it in your eyes,
You're looking on a distant sky,
I see you lookin, I see you lookin,
You're looking on a distant sky
I wonder why, why you look to the sky,
As though you wanna fly,
I wonder why, why I'll never get so high,
You know I often try
I found out where you go,
You're dreaming on a distant globe,
I see you lookin, I see you lookin,
You're dreaming on a distant globe
I found out where you are,
You're dreaming on the evening star,
I see you lookin, I see you lookin,
You're dreaming on the evening star
(i see)
I wonder why, why you look to the sky,
As though you wanna fly,
I wonder why, why I'll never get so high,
You know I often try
I see it in your face,
You're looking out into space,
I see it in your face,
You're looking out into space
(repeat)
She floats like a sunken island,Like a drunken eyelid,
She, she looks on me,
She sicks like a broken arrow,
Like a frozen sparrow,
She, she falls alseep,
It is happening (x3)
What is happening?
She don't wanna stick it out,
Don't wanna stick out,
She don't wanna check out,
She don't wanna check out,
She don't wanna stick it out,
Don't wanna stick out,
She don't wanna check out,
She don't wanna check out.
She moves like a sudden answer,
Like a hidden dancer,
She, she looks on me,
She slips like a melting glacier,
Like a velvet razor,
She, she falls asleep,
It is glistening (x3)
She is glistening!
She don't wanna stick it out,
Don't wanna stick out,
She don't wanna check out,
She don't wanna check out,
She don't wanna stick it out,
Don't wanna stick out,
She don't wanna check out,

She is listening (x3)
Shes not listening!

She don't wanna stick it out,

Baby, move on, baby, move on,
Sweet sweet sweet sweet baby move on,
The landry is gone,
When he is calm,
Sweet sweet sweet sweet baby move on,
Hes burning you,
[hes burning you]
And it hurts me too,
[hes burning you]
He keeps turning turning turning you away now,
Turning turning turning you away
Baby, fight back, baby, fight back,
Sweet sweet sweet sweet baby fight back,
When he attacks, when he attacks
Sweet sweet sweet sweet baby fight back,
Hes burning you,
[hes burning you]
And it hurts me too,
[hes burning you]
He keeps turning turning turning you away now,
Turning turning turning you away
Baby, you'll see, baby, you'll see,

When you break free, when you break free,
Sweet sweet sweet sweet baby you'll see,
Hes burning you,
[hes burning you]
And it hurts me too,
[hes burning you]
He keeps turning turning turning you away now,
Don't say that every little thing is okay,
Don't say you're never gonna go,
Go away
Change, and you fall behind,
And in your mind,
It is so strange,
And you see the flames,
The window panes, and the stains
Don't say that every little thing is alright,
Don't say we're never gonna fade,
In the night
Change, and you fall behind,
And in your mind,
It is so strange,
And you see the flames,
The window panes, and the stains
Don't say that every little thing is opaque,
Don't say we're always gonna stay,
Stay awake
Change, and you fall behind,
And in your mind,
It is so strange,
And you see the flames,
The window panes, and the stains
Her silver veil,Will lift no more,
She is too pale,
I knew her before
Her leather boots,
Stand by the door,
Her tender feet,
Rest on the floor
(doodoodoo)
We're looking for a better way,
(doodoodoo)
We're hoping for a better day,
Though it seems so far away,
You know it seems so far away
Her asian vase,
Spills on the tiles,
Her linen blouse,
Fades like her smile
Her leather boots,
Gassed against the clouds,
Stark silhouettes,
Hangs like a shroud
(doodoodoo)
We're looking for a better way,
(doodoodoo)
We're hoping for a better day,
Though it seems so far away,
You know it seems so far away
Her silver veil,
Will lift no more,
She is too pale,
I knew her before
(doodoodoo)
We're looking for a better way,
(doodoodoo)
We're hoping for a better day,
Though it seems so far away,
You know it seems so far away
She terrified me,Like castles in spain,
She purified me,
Like acid rain
Our love wasn't in vain (x4)
She looked inside me,
She saw what I became,
She opened to me,
Like open flames,
(hey hey yeah)
Our love wasn't in vain (x4)
Our love wasn't in vain (x4)
Inside of listless laundromats,I try to find out where
its at
I wanna push you away from me
And set you free,
I wanna push you away from me
You're too good for me
Inside of distant discotheques,
I try to watch the morning break
I wanna push you away from me
And set you free,
I wanna push you away from me
You're too good for me
[you're too good..]
Inside of pissed off prostitutes,
I try to get my mind off you
[I wanna..I wanna...]
I wanna push you away from me
And set you free,
I wanna push you away from me
You're too good for me
[na-na-na, you're too good,
Television, indecision,Keeps me on the floor
Frustration, medication,
Gets me out the door
I wanna show you this,
I'll spit it out somehow,
Its gonna make you pissed,
Cause you will see I'm better off now
Some nights the city lights shine
Like a tv show,
Some days I wanna skate but
The traffic breaks my flow
I wanna show you this,
I'll spit it out somehow,
Its gonna make you pissed
Cause you will see I'm better off now
(repeat)
[ooo, ooo, ooo]
I wanna show you this,
I'll spit it out somehow,
Its gonna make you pissed
Cause you will see I'm better off now
That look on your faceI'm reading as information,
You need a little space,
You need some ventilation
I look into your eyes,
I see you are impatient,
You need to minimize,
Despise your desperation
Its so strange, its so strange,
You wish to fly away,
There is no where to stay,
And its so strange, its so strange,
You wish to see no shame,
You wish to see no pain,
And the starlight, in the darkened skies,
You stand in the shadow,
Of a falcon passing by!
That look on your face,
I'm reading the isolation,
You feel displaced,
I see the defrustration
I feel the same,
I feel the same sensation,
Inside my brain,
I crave annihilation
Its so strange, its so strange,
You wish to fly away,
There is no where to stay,
And its so strange, its so strange,
You wish to see no shame,
You wish to see no pain,
And the starlight, in the darkened skies,
You stand in the shadow,
Of a falcon passing by!
Its so strange, its so strange,
You wish to fly away,
There is no where to stay,
And its so strange, its so strange,
You wish to see no shame,
You wish to see no pain,
And the starlight, in the darkened skies,
You stand in the shadow,
