I run my hands along the rail
Like I'm banging on a dead nail
I pull your mask around your face
And pack your castle in a big case
You're not a sage
But you know you're always on a big stage
I'm gonna live forever
I'm gonna live forever
I'm gonna live forever
I'm gonna live forever
He was just a guy with his plan
Pitchin' rubbers with his rain-tan
I took a date from the two day dance
I kissed my girl in pretty blue pants
Got to shake your hand
You know I've always been a big fan
I'm gonna live forever
I'm gonna live forever
I'm gonna live forever
I'm gonna live forever
On holiday when she was away, I was always
Never gonna, ever gonna
I'm gonna live forever
I'm gonna live forever
I'm gonna live forever
I'm gonna live forever
Stop right there, I got a dare
You pull your plan and dig your heal
Spin your castle on a bent wheel
Pull your mask around your face
And throw your hands into a big space
I'm not just gonna stand like I'm
Waiting for the big hand
God bless mom
Best of all
Spread your wings
Fly or fall
You'll see how hard it can be
To keep your side of the deal
And you'll see how hard it can be
To keep one foot in the real
God bless you
Strong and true
Stay at home
Good as gold
And you'll see how hard it can be
To keep your side of the deal
And you'll see how hard it can be
She was in a class of 44 beautiful dancers
And I watched her pirouette around the stars
In her poms
And I must have told her one thousand times
In my mind, that I loved her
I got drunk one night, she was on the steps
She touched my shoulder
oh oh oh oh
I was young and full of grace
When I stepped into the fire, with my dancer
She had barely come of age
But she was egging me on, all the way down
And I told her as the ship sank
That I loved her
And I told her as we walked off of the plank
I was all hers
Oh oh oh oh
Step 2, 3, 4, jump 2, 3, 4
Step 2, 3, 4, jump 2, 3, 4
Step 2, 3, 4, jump 2, 3, 4
Step 2, 3, 4, and jump
Cover yourself from the storm
Cause forever has just come and gone
And tonight the wind blows in cold
And we don’t know what tomorrow will hold
And the waiting is keeping you strong
But tomorrow's far too long
Gather yourself for the ride
And whatever you can’t carry
You should leave behind
And the lights are fading on the shore
And tomorrow is so far to go
It's like they always say
The truth is coming out
Driving us away
Your headlights heading south
You turn your head to leave
'Cause there's nothing here for you anymore
But I am not afraid to stay
Got no need for the bible
It's all in here
It's all in here
And all I need for my survival
Is what you say
Is what you say
I told you once, twice
Somewhere in the tunnel
There's a light that shines for me
To brighten up the darkest place
And watch as the world goes
Burning to the ground
Turn back she said
"I just want to go over there and check it out"
I've got no need for the bible
It's all in here
It's all in here
And all I need for my survival
Is hollocaine
Let go of the wheel
And forget how to steer
It's all downhill from here
Forget all the words that you heard
And shuffle them till they're unclear
It's all downhill from here
And if I held the key to all time
Then all of your time would be mine
Pick up something to throw
And see how far it'll go
And forget all you know
We'll throw our thoughts over the pier
And send them all into the mire
And wait there, until they all disappear
And if I held the secret to faith
Then all of your faith would be mine
So let go of the wheel
And forget how to steer
It's all downhill from here
And when you're flying past
In your carriage of glass
Will you get time to ask
Or will it all be too fast
And when you're getting cold in your
In your carriage of gold
Will you hear all I told
Or be too precious to hold
And if I held the door to all love
Then all of your love would be mine
And if I held the whole world in my hands
Then all of your world would be mine
So let go of the wheel
And forget how to steer
It's all downhill from here
It's all downhill from here
There was a head on collision
At my front door today
One man died
And another man tried to stop it
There was a head on collision
At my front door today
One man died
And another man tried to stop it
I was hanging on the pole
When I saw what happened
I went to tell my ma,
But she was sleeping
I was hanging on the pole
When I saw what happened
Don't take that man away
It was not his fault
Telegraph poles are good for climbing
But don't touch the live wire
At the tip of the barrel
Telegraph poles are good for climbing
But don't touch the live wire
At the tip of the barrel
You know this means everything to me
But I'm not sure if I'll be here tomorrow
You know this means everything to me
But I'm not sure if I'll be here tomorrow
Telegraph poles are good for climbing
But don't touch the live wire
At the tip of the barrel
Telegraph poles are good for climbing
But don't touch the live wire
At the tip of the barrel
There was a head on collision
At my front door today
One man died
Well I never want to land
'Cause I'm high on you
Beyond all sleight of hand
And tell me if you're sure
And I won't pretend to fall down anymore
'Cause you're all I really want
Headlong, I'm falling in headlong
And act a little braver
And the lies that try to trip you
Will be my slaves
And tell me if you're sure
And the precious, precious waiting I've endured
'Cause you're all I'll ever want
Headlong, I'm falling in headlong
Dissapointing days in a hot white haze
nothing good ever... stays
fault line lost in continental drift
absolute zero-no negative shift
...no negative shift
incoherence and empty sense
I'm living in the future tense
Fault lines lost in continental drift
In the dark ages, medieval times
In the first stages of the last decline
In the ancient city, AD 79
frozen in ash; smothered in time
In the fertile crescent reading cuneiform
Your will it drifts forever in the open air
my head, it looks forever but theres no one there
don't say, youll wait forever then you disappear
I'll stay, I'll stay forever if you want me here
Cause i'm always thinking about it
How can I accept your disappointment man
it's not exact, it's no science man
I want it less than you ever have
I will not accept your disappointment man.
Damn straight, cause there's always someone who'll compare
I'd wait, I'd wait forever if you want me here
but I'm always wrong about it
I will not accept your disappointment man
it's not exact, it's no science man
I wanted less than you ever have
Seven months in hiding
Buried in the sand
I lost my way, come find me
and tonight, your not even trying
Constantly reminded
That I was just in time
Don't run away, like I did
And tonight, your not even trying
So, if you ever want something
and you call, call
then i'll come running
to fight, and i'll be at your door
when there's nothing worth running for,
when your mind's made up
when your mind's made up
there's no point trying to change it
when your mind's made up
when your mind's made up
there's no point trying to stop it
you see, you're just like anyone
when the shit falls all you want to do is run, away
and hide all by yourself
there is no one, who is gonna run to help
when your mind's made up
when your mind's made up
there's no point trying to change it
when your mind's made up
when your mind's made up
there's no point even talking
when your mind's made up
when your mind's made up
there's no point trying to fight it
so, if you ever want something
and you call, call
I'm on a plateau
It's not where I belong
It's taken so many years
To figure out my way
Upon this plateau
It's all been said and done
And every time I try
The words make little sense until you're gone
And everything must change
Everything must change
Upon this plateau
The diamond sky's enough to take you miles ahead
Where the past can't ever catch us
And all your good friends
Are gathering all around
They say the time is now
And so I must resolve to say
It's just me myself again
And I'm just talking to the wall this time
It's just me myself and I
Deciding on a plan
And everything must change
Everything must change inside you now
Everything must change inside and out
Everything must change, change...
I'm on a plateau
Your big mouth, steelish stare
It fills my wings, enough to fly
I sent a letter on a stone
Through your window down the hall
One more day, still stuck in here
I burnt my words, on a beaten stove
I sent my love a golden song
But a simple tune to hum along
She played my hearts strings with a bow
And the bow fire cracked out like a drum
I sent my love a golden song
But a simple beat to tap along
She plays me like a rubber bow
And the bow fire fizzed out with the dawn
Turning with the listless
And staying close behind
And the arms that once held you
Have receded
Over time
And the little love I had
For all my friends and foe
And the little lines we've drawn between us all have
Taken hold
In the early morning walking
And the pressure in the night
And the walls that held you with us
Have fallen
Out of sight
And the little love I had
For all my friends and foe
And the little lines we've drawn between us all have
Taken hold
And the little love I had
For all the friends I know
And the little time we got to share was worth it
After all
Now we work it out in silence
And the subplot to the end
And it's falling out of favour
I've seen it
Where I am
And the little love I had
For all my friends and foe
And the little lines we've drawn between us all have
Taken hold
And the little love I had
For all the friends I know
And the little time we got to share was worth it
There's only so much that you have
And you've got to keep it safe
You've been spreading it round the place
Now it's gotta come back this way
And you're giving it all away
You're giving it all away
And you're lying through your teeth
You said you found a song to sing
And you're riding on a wave
whatever helps you get along
And you're giving it all away
You're giving it all away
You're keeping nothing for yourself
You're just giving it all away
And there's so much that you know
And there's so much that you don't
Can you not accept its all the same?
Just accept it's all the same
And you're giving it all away
You're giving it all away
You're keeping nothing for yourself
Are you feeling so abandoned
Have your crutches all been stolen and broken
Now sometimes you've got to fall
Just to remember how far from the bottom you are
Have I got your full attention
Cause these words don't come so easy now
We know what's gonna happen
This is getting us nowhere
And we've been there
I did denounce this
And here I am with you
Before we lose the rest
Lets go with what we've left
Are you holding it together
Are you facing all the hardest and roughest parts
The sign we passed along the way
Said you've come this far
Now you're on your own
And I'm stopping here
I did denounce this
And here I am with you
Before we lose the rest
Lets go with what we've left
I did denounce this
And so did you
Before we lose it all
Let's try to call it off
Let me off of this boat
I'm sick of this ride
The world is heading ever southward
And I can't stay in here
And you're lying awake
Away on your side
The feeling comes in waves and burns us
And I don't wanna die
From the slippery hands
To the line of your throat
The fever now consumes us both
In a fire now we will go
Santa Maria
Why did you have to go?
Santa Maria
One day we will know
In a bowing of heads and a passing of hands
And all we thought they'd understand
Is lost and they won't know
And what have we left
It's all that we've got
There is no 'X' to mark our spot
What's past is done and gone
Santa Maria
Why did you have to burn?
Santa Maria
The future takes us where it leads
Our heads just go beneath the waves
Time tells all and we obey
But how can I be mad at you
You did what you did
And you followed through
You were the one who always said
'Forget it and move on'
But I'm not sad, I'm just disappointed
And I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed
Well the years they get on top of you
The working load it tallied up
And you went down
Beneath it all like anybody would
And I'm just ambling on in this town
I can't get out and it drags me down
And these words don't really fit what I'm feeling now
But I'm not sad, I'm just disappointed
And I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed
And you're not lost, you're just misdirected
Your will changes everyday
It's a road you've come upon
I can't help you if you want to
Down here nothing gets a chance
It's a threat that's real enough
We can burn this bridge or stay here
It's a breeze everlasting like time
Making so sure that
I can return just to see it from your side again
Always never seems to work
It's a word you never learned
I don't really see a way clear
It's a sea ever churning in tides
In the sureness of time
And our words will repeat now forever again
Well this might take a while to figure out
So don't you rush it
And hold your head up high right through the doubt
'Cause it's just a matter of time
You've been running so fast
It's the seven day mile
Has you torn in-between here and running away
I don't have a choice in this
It's a road I've come upon
You can join us if you want to
Always never seems to work
It's a word we never learned
Time will be the judge of all here
This might take a while to figure out now
So don't you rush it
And hold you're head up high
Right through the doubt now
'Cause its just a matter of time
You've been running so fast
It's the seven day mile
Has you torn in-between here and running away
It's line you've been wanting
It's your time
It's the seven day mile
Has you torn in-between here and never again
Never again
And down here nothing gets chance
It's a world too big for us
Time will be the judge of all here
This might take a while to figure out now
So don't you rush it
And hold you're head up high
Right through the doubt now
'Cause its just a matter of time
You've been running so fast
It's the seven day mile
Has you torn in-between yeah and never again
I was thinking about your face
Rolling up the river
I was worried what you thought
And I'm sorry if I can't remember
But there's no time for crying
Only time for trying now
I remember your name
'Cause you sang it to me often
I was lying down beside
The river where we met
And now you face is hiding something
Something is burning
And I'm gonna wait for you
I've got to send this tape to you
And I'm gonna wait for you
'Cause I know something about you
Something about the things you do
Something about your voice
That reams in the good stars
It reams in the good stars
There's a road that follows everywhere you go
I stole your golden chaser
But I never meant to steal
Its not in my nature
But if you try again I'll fall
And if you want to save it all
Then all you have to do is give
Give me that look again
Give me that look
'Cause I'm gonna wait for you
I've got to send this tape to you
I'm the bananaman, I go uppa that tree
I go downa that tree, I go home for me tea
I'm the bananaman, and I drink me Coca Cola
And I play me rock'n'rolla down by the sea
You ain't got far to go
Come down for the fiesta
Come on fiesta, love me long
She's incognito
She lives in the parade by the sea, near the sand
And I wish she'd come take my hand
And we'll blow
Baby there's one thing you should know
Before you go
Baby there is one thing you should know
I can't stop loving you
I can't stop loving you
I can't stop loving you
I'm saved now, I'm saved by your hand
And all the logic and language and loss
I'd throw it all away for the dancer
She's running upstairs now and she's made till the end
But you see she's incognito
I've seen a lot of dares and they come and they
Stay and they go
Ah but, no, no, no she said no, she said
Turn on your record player
And baby there's one thing you should know
Before you go
Baby there is one thing you should know
I can't stop loving you
I can't stop loving you
I can't stop loving you
But how far will it go
And baby there's one thing you should know
Before you go
Baby there is one thing you should know
Before you go
Baby there is one thing you should know
I can't stop loving you
I can't stop loving you
I may not hold you
For as long as forever exists
I may not know you
For as long as the heavens permit
There will be distance
And we'll both have to come to expect
The wild ending of our dark and feathered friends
And we wield the mighty sword
That cuts through bone and lays the liars down
And we wield an angry sword
That softens stone and turns the tides around
So you called me over
And I'll wait by your building tonight
But you may not bother
But it's better than feeding the lie
I am receiving
The message that I need to go
But I'm not leaving
'Til one of us surrenders its soul
Hand me down the picture
Of you leaving unsaid
I know how simple it gets
But say by chance I need you
Will you always be there?
And I will lie with you neath the beeches
On the strand again
I'm learning to hand it over
To whatever Lord there be
And in the same old colours
I'll be dressed for thee
But it's not about that though is it?
It's about you and me
And I will lie with you neath the beeches
On the strand again
I hung your feet
That famous painting above my bed
And you told me a story
About some guy who kept his head
He drowned neath the Southport
Neath the pier where we stand
And I will lie with you neath the beeches
I'm living out in the old house
And fighting on the stairs
And staring at the windows
Breeze blowing through the years
But if I don't get out of this town
Then something is gonna break
'Cause I gotta find my own way now
Through this thick malaise
Well I don't know where else I can turn now
Makes me often wonder when are we gonna learn
You're wearing too much make-up
Going to the dance
And you're looking over my way now
But some people out there take a chance
But your glow in this light is so becoming now
If I don't get out of this town
Something's gonna break
I'm waiting to find my high/house soon
And rummage through the age
Sometimes it feels like we don't stand a chance
If you come, come alone
Please don't take anyone else
'Cause we're never alone
And tonight I want you for myself
Take it back, take it back
Those words that you never can help
And the side you'll never get to see
Is the part I keep from everyone
And the side you'll never get to reach
Is a lie, is a lie
Will you dance, monkey dance
Don't have me repeating myself
'Cause you came here by chance
And I'll knock you right down again
And the side you'll never get to see
Is the part I keep from everyone
And the side you'll never get to reach
Is alive, is alive
And the side you'll never get to see
Is the part I keep from everyone
And the side you'll never get to reach
Love has been the cause
Of all this suffering
And what has been our loss
Has been it's gaining
So lay your burdens down
And stop your crying
Will we let it burn
Burn us down, burn us
Low have been the odds
Of our reuniting
And where now can we turn
When we've got nothing
Will we let it burn
Burn us down, burn us
And maybe it'll turn
There's a bad bone inside of me
all my troubles started there
and all the cracks are adding up to be
a little more than you can bare
when i met you, you were bitter still
from a scar you're never gonna show
and i was cursed with a jealousy
that's killed every love i've ever known
and when the anger that you feel
turns to poison in your soul
and then the scars you only feel
will start to show
yoe were naked on the balcony
and i was waiting in your bed
you said i pleased you only partially
but i knew my hunger would be fed
all my thoughts of going clear
and getting out before my time
have died with you upon the vine
have died with you upon the vine
to die with you upon the vine
to die with you upon the vine
to die
so if you'll lead the way
There's a point to all this dreaming
To every man his just desserts
And every time I caught you leaving
I had to dream awake
I had to dream awake
For every time I came home screaming
And got sent away, with no warning at all
I had to dream awake
I had to dream awake
There's a calling, a calling, a calling
To everyone, who lost something
Who had to dream awake
Who had to dream awake
To take us under now
Take us under now
There's a fight were not conceding
Where words get mixed
And the point is lost
Where we have to dream awake
We had to dream awake
To take us under now
Take us under now
There's a warning, a warning, a warning
You're telling me I should forget you
But why?
And you're talking like I never knew you
But thats a lie
And you're playing out your game again
Why are you never on my side?
And you're telling me I should forget you
Come on the guy's a fake
What do you love him for?
And it was my mistake
Just kicking in his door
And if it's just a game
Then what are we crying for?
And you're telling me I will regret you
But so
And you're talking like I should expect to
But you'll never know
And he's left you in the rain again
And you were always on my mind
And you're telling me I should forget you
Come on the guys a fake
What do you love him for?
And it was my mistake
Just kicking in his door
And if it's just a game
Then what are we crying for?
I don't know anymore
Come on the guys a fake
What do you love him for?
And it was my mistake
Just kicking in his door
And if it's just a game
Then what are we crying for?
You must've fallen from the sky
You must've shattered on the runway
you've brought so many to the light
And now you're by yourself
There comes a point in every fight
When giving up seems like the only way
When everyone one has said goodbye
And now you're on your own
If you need somewhere to fall apart
Somewhere to fall apart
The rules of cain ,the rights you've made
The owls that caw, for those to blame
The broken glass, the fool that asked
The moving arrow to stop
You must've fallen from the sky
You must've come here in the pourin' rain
You took so many through the light
And now you're on your own
If you need somewhere to fall apart
Somewhere to fall apart
The ruins of man, the bloody black
The fool that bull the prouder hag
The night the makes the rattle ack
The wolves that follow the outed man
The falling star the way we are
The vern
The rules that never ever mulitply
You must've fallen from the sky
You must've come here on the wrong way
You came among us every time
But now you're on your own
If you need somewhere to fall apart
Somewhere to fall apart
The call you seek, the basket case
The rules of thumb you have to break
The raging skull, The rag to the bull
The nails that drag in either hand
Well I will make my worker that
I know this place
I know this time
I don't know you but I want you
All the more for that
And words fall through me
And always fool me
And I can't react
And games that never amount
To more than they're meant
Will play themselves out
Take this sinking boat
And point it home
We've still got time,
Raise your hopeful voice
You have a choice,
You've made it now
Falling slowly, eyes that know me
And I can't go back
And moods that take me and erase me
And I'll paint it black
Well you have suffered enough
And warred with yourself
It's time that you won
Take this sinking boat
And point it home
We've still got time,
Raise your hopeful voice
You had the choice,
You've made it now
Take this sinking boat
And point it home
We've still got time,
Raise your hopeful voice
You have a choice,
You've made it now
Falling slowly, sing your melody
I'll sing it loud
Did you fall on your way?
It's a long way down
Welcome back to your place
I hope you know it now
Cause it's true what you say
We're the wrong way round
And the lie that cut the worst
Has been resolved, then reversed
Finally
Ah come on, show the way
Where you running now?
Is it lack of restraint?
Has you turning round
In the end, we're both the same
You played your part, so you're part to blame
And when you want something so much
It's drawing trouble on your life
And when you found something so good
It's hard to focus on what's right
And in the end what hurt the worst
Has been resolved and then reversed
And I know it's not what you said
It's like the letter I just sat and read
Finally
You found something so good
It's drawing trouble in your life
And when you love something so good
It's hard to focus on what's right
Should be happy to be loved
Happy to be
Unburdened by the thought
I could still be lonely
I think you're the one
Everyone agrees
But some can see the face of love
And turn away in disbelief
Every time we get close
I just run
And the wind on my face
Last rays of the sun
Shine on my skin
My heart slow me down
Is all that I can feel
All that I can feel
All that I can feel
All that I can feel
Should be happy to be loved
Happy to be
With someone who knows
And understands me
I think you're the one
Everyone agrees
But some can touch the hand of love
And pull away in disbelief
Every time we get close
I just run
And the wind on my face
Last rays of the sun
Shine on my skin
My heart slow me down
Is all that I can feel
All that I can feel
All that I can feel
All that I can feel
Should be happy to be loved
Happy to be
Possessed by nothing but
A heart that's chosen freely
I think you're the one
Everyone agrees
But some can feel the grace of love
And walk away in disbelief
Every time we get close
I just run
And the wind on my face
Last rays of the sun
Shine on my skin
My heart slow me down
Is all that I can feel
All that I can feel
All that I can feel
All that I can feel
All that I can feel
All that I can feel
All that I can feel
All that I can feel
Should be happy to be loved
Happy to be
Should be happy to be loved
Maybe its all we cant take
keeps us always returning
I'm keeping this as a keepsake
and everything else I'm burning
and maybe its cause you cant wait
keeps you always regretting
I'm keeping this as a keepsake
and everything else forgetting
when were down, down, down,
all the way
can we run away.
and maybe it cause I cant say
keeps you always believing
and maybe its cause you cant say
keeps me always believing
ill give you this as a keepsake
and right after that I'm leaving
and maybe its all we cant take
keeps us always returning
ill give you this as a keepsake
and everything else I'm burning.
I cant sleep.
they're hunting me down like an insect
chasing me down like an insect
crushing me down like an insect
stamping me out like an insect
Don't go outside tonight
The locusts fill the sky
And the devils work is never done
And the gypsy curse you wore
Can't hurt us anymore
As we raise our glasses to our mouths
And its all for one
And the bells that rang in hope
Are still swinging from the ropes
We thought we'd one day perish on
And the tune you never wrote
And the words you never spoke
Have gathered up and need a song
I'm moving off, I'm packing up
I'm willing to be wrong
Now your giving up the ghost
To the one who meant the most
And one day when she least expects she'll know
And the words you never spoke
And the tune you never wrote
Won't write itself or wait for evermore
I'm moving off, I'm packing up
People all get ready
'Cause we're tearing down the stand
Rebuild what's gone unsteady
And see it through with newer hands
And what has gone between us
Is a lot, is a lot
And who'll be there to clean us
When you're not, when you're not
People all get ready
'Cause we're breaking down again
Rebuild what's gone unsteady
And see it through with wiser hands
And what has gone before us
Is a lot, is a lot
And who'll be there to ignore us
When you're not, when you're not
We have all the time in the world
To get it right, to get it right
We have all the love in the world
To set alight, to set alight
People all get ready
'Cause we're breaking down the bands
Rewrite what's gone already
And see it through with angry hands
And what has gone before us
Is a lot, is a lot
And who'll be there to ignore us
When you're not, when you're not
And we have all the time in the world
To get it right, to get it right
And we have all the love in the world
To set alight, to set alight
Just look up, just look up
And we have all the time in the world
To get it right, to get it right
And we have all the love in the world
To set alight, to set alight
Just look up, just look up
People all get ready
My simple slant
This broken chant
My human fate
My revelate
Are you so far from me this day
That you can't say my revelate
My open arms
My lucky charms
My number eight
My revelate
I fucked it up
I rest my case
Cause it's all to grey
My revelate
Sometimes I need a revelation
Sometimes it's all too hard to take
Sometimes I need a revelation
This time I'm making my own now
Does this mean we're through
Does this mean it's gone
I spent a day just to ponder the words
That I would write to you this day
But it's all too great, my revelate
Sometimes I need a revelation
Sometimes it's all too hard to take
Sometimes I need a revelation
This time it's up in arms
This time I need you revelation
Sometimes it's all too much to take
This time I need you revelation
Sometimes it's easy just to hate you
Sometimes I need a revelation
Sometimes I, sometimes I,
Redeem yourself
Redeem yourself
Breathing in the night
There's nothing else I'm needing now
The wind is at my side
And so are you
And together we will rise
Above all these word and promises we couldn't keep
Together we will fly above it all
But sometimes we will fall
From the light
But it shines on us tonight
And together we will rise
And together we will rise
And surely it's a sign now,
That everything's in tune to some kind of higher plan
Surely it's a sign
That you were right
And there's the secret line
That we've been denied
But we're crossing it tonight
And together we will rise
And together we will rise
Sometimes we will fall
From the light
But it shines on us tonight
And together we will rise
Pass this line
That we're crossing here tonight
But together we will rise
And together we will rise
And the light you gave
You took away when you were gone
It's a war that can't be won
With fists or talk or money
And there's no escape
But I'd better stop complaining now
I guess because
Too many sad words make a sad, sad song
Too many sad words make a sad, sad song
And the night you came
You won me all and all
And the better part of everything
Was born to run
And the price of fame
Is that they love you when you're gone
But I better stop complaining now
It's useless because
Too many sad words make a sad, sad song
Leaving, but never far enough
Like a ship caught in the bay
We'll show each other where it hurts
And well make the fuckers pay
And what is it we don't do well enough
That were constantly afraid.
And clearing up the pieces when your gone
But the silence always stays
The silences and formlessness is gone
With the hand that rocked the babe
Well forgive each other what is done
There's no one we could blame
And neither side is sure enough to move
There's something in the way
And still for all the wisdom that we've got
We're suffering the same
Buried in the work what never ends
And silently we fade.
Maybe I should just move along
But you know I'd draw blood if that's what you want
And you found someone who makes you laugh
Who'd stick around but that's not what you want
You slipped at the start
And dragged the whole thing sideways down
And everybody fucks up
It's just something that's been going 'round
And you found someone who said he'd stay
Who'd give it all but that's not good enough
You're standing alone
And you're waiting alone cause you don't know what you want
And you're living alone
And your wondering now, cause you don't know what you've done
Maybe I should just disappear for now
Then maybe you could see a little clearer now
And you found some one who makes you laugh
Who promised you he'd never let you down
And you blame it on your broken heart
But everyone who reaches out gets stung
Now you're standing alone
And you're waiting alone cause you don't know what you want
And you're living alone
And you're wondering now cause you don't know what you've done
Maybe I should just move along
But you know I'd draw blood
Star, star teach me how to shine, shine
Teach me so I know what's going on in your mind
'Cause I don't understand these people
Who sayin' the hill's too steep
Well, they'll talk and talk forever
But they'll just never climb, oh
Falling down into the situations
Bringing out the best in you
You're flat on your back again
And star, you're ever word I'm heeding
Can you help me to see
'Cause I'm lost in the marsh
Star, star teach me how to shine, shine
Teach me so I know what's going on in your mind
'Cause I don't understand these people
Who sayin' we're all asleep
Well, they'll toss and turn forever
But no rest will they find
Star, star
Come with me and we'll be
In a world of your imagination
Star, star teach me how to shine, shine
Teach me so I know what's going on in your mind, yeah
Star, star teach me how to shine, shine
Teach me so I know what's going on in your mind, yeah
Star, star teach me how to shine, shine
Teach me so I know what's going on in your mind, yeah
Oh, star, star teach me how to shine, shine
Come back, show your face
Can't you see
You're too good for this place
Can we leave?
It's not your fault, what they say
Don't believe
Or would you rather suffer in silence?
And defeat
Or would you rather suffer in silence?
Needlessly
Ah come on, show the way
I'll believe
Welcome back, you've been away
How's it been?
Or would you rather suffer in silence?
Needlessly
Or would you rather suffer in silence?
And defeat
You don't have to suffer in silence
And defeat
You don't have to suffer in silence
Needlessly
You don't have to suffer in silence
And defeat
You don't have to suffer in silence
Needlessly
Wake up
It's your love calling
You don't have to suffer in silence
And defeat
You don't have to suffer in silence
I will write you letters that
Explain the way I'm thinking now
I, I will return to you
What I have taken long before
I, I will return again
When it gets dark and day is done
And lay me down
In the hollowed ground
Down by your side I will stay
So lay me down
And if you wanna stay with me
Then let me know before it's light
I, I will recoil myself
Into the black and darkest night
And lay me down
In the hollowed ground
Where my father waits I will stay
So lay me down
And lay me down
In the hollowed ground
Down by your side I will stay
Lying in the sickbed waiting to go
Fill me with morphine and Demerol
Swa__ of the cast off, just lye in the shade
Closer to Christ now, kneeling down on the blade
But don't leave me drowning
The river surrounds me and into my soul
Don't leave me lying, so closer to dying
So I need ____, stay to ___ on my way to go
The air of _____ floats through the h___
Woke me up crying next to you by the wall
Don't leave me scathing, the ashes are breaking
Me to my bones
Don't leave me lying, so ____ ____ dying
The stars are underground
And the proof is flying overhead
So kick me when I'm down
And I'll be the one you're laughing about now
I don't know if its real
Or how I'm supposed to feel now
That I'm out of your life
And into the darkness
And out of the darkness I'm coming now
When I'm out of your sight
And into the blackness
I drag myself along
Not sure of how I got in here
Well I must have done you wrong
Cause you always insist on telling me
Now how it feels
That I'm out of your life and into the darkness
And out of the darkness I'm coming now
When I'm out of your sight
And into the blackness
Tell Mairéad that you saw me
And see how they follow
Are you sleeping, still dreaming?
Still drifting off alone
I'm not leaving with this feeling
So you'd better best be told
And what in the world have you done
To be such an absent love?
It's all simple, and befitting
The path that you have chosen
I'm not listening, there's no secret
It's just a door that will stay closed
And what in the world have I done
To be such a lazy love
And how am I supposed to live without you?
A wrong word said in anger and you were gone
I'm not listening for signals
It's all dust now on the shelf
Are you still running, still working
Still buried in yourself
And all that you've ever owned
Is packed in the hall to go
And how am I supposed to live without you?
A wrong word said in anger and you were gone
