There wouldn't be no Alamo,
No Cowboys in the Superbowl...
No "Lonesome Dove", no "Yellow Rose",
If it wasn't for Texas.
I wouldn't be a Willie fan.
Nobody'd swim the Rio Grande.
I wouldn't be an American,
If it wasn't for Texas.
Fort Worth would never cross my mind,
An' there'd be no Austim City limits sign.
No Lonestar of any kind.
If it wasn't for Texas.
Instrumental break
I'd never've gone to Tennessee,
To sing my songs an' chase my dreams.
Only Heaven knows just where I'd be,
If it wasn't for Texas.
Fort Worth would never cross my mind.
There'd be no Austin City limits sign.
An' no Lonestar of any kind.
If it wasn't for Texas.
It made me the man I am...
Thank God for my old stompin' ground.
I wouldn't be standin' right here, right now,
If it wasn't for Texas.
If it wasn't for Texas.
Warm winds blowing
Heating blue sky
And a road that goes forever
Been thinking 'bout it lately
Been watching some TV
Been looking all around me
At what has come to me
Been talking to my neighbour
And he agrees with me
It's all gone crazy
Well my wife returns from taking
My little girl to school
She's got beads of perspiration
As she tries to keep for cool
She says that mess it don't get no better
There's gonna come a day
Someone gonna get killed out there
And I turn to her and say
Texas she says what
Texas she says what
They got big long roads out there
Warm winds blowing
Heating blue sky
And a road that goes forever
I'm going to Texas
We got to get out of here
We got to get out of here
Well I got a little brother
Several metres high
He's built just like a quarterback
He swears he'll testify
He says he's been to Texas
And that's the only place to be
Big stakes, big girls, no touble here
That's the place for me
I'm going to Texas
I'm going to Texas
Watch me walking
I feel a chill in the air today
And though we never started out that way
We've got to ask ourselves
Is this the land that our fathers made?
That silver spoon is going to fade and rust
Got no respect and we've lost our trust
And Texas, what's become of your favorite sons?
[Chorus]
Why are your friends all acting strange?
This ain't no time for a foolish heart
It's time we've got to act our age
You'll never break me down
Better believe we've got our eyes on you
And we know the crooked things you do
You'd better wake up now
And answer for the things you've done
All of the lies that you propagate
You've raped the charm from the lone star state
And there's a cancer deep
When the Texas moon is shining down on Austin
When it shines across the Rio Grande
When it comes to makin' love
Under the stars above
What About Us?
He came home late from his work one day
Said he wanted some time alone
What about you, what about me, what about love
I knew I couldn't take this love heartache
I knew I couldn't stand it alone
What about you, what about me, what about us
Aaah I know I'm special inside
And how I gave you all of my life
And here we go
Chorus
I've seen it before when I just
When I just needed more
Than your touch
Here we go
You're not a million miles
You're not a million miles from me
He came home late from his work one day
Said he wanted some time alone
What about you, what about me, what about love
He came home late and apparantly
He was someone else when he got home
What about you, what about me, what about us
Aaah I know I'm special inside
And how I gave you all of my life
And here we go
Chorus
And here we go
Chorus (3x)
(Instrumental)
I've looked down the saddest city lane
I've looked at the people with faces of pain
I can't forget it
I can't forget it
I looked int your eyes
You think it just a game
Them faces keep on looking
But it's all in vain
I can't forget it
I can't forget it
Fight the feeling
Show me your strength
Fight the feeling
You've got to fight to the end
You keep telling me my mind is too cruel
But I can't help it if I live by these rules
You'll never change them
You'll never change them
You took me for a fool
And read my thoughts
You never realised that I couldn't be bought
I can't forget it
You will regret it
Fight the feeling
Show me your strength
Fight the feeling
You've got to fight to the end
You can only push me so far
Before I can't take no more
I've made the vow
You've lost me now
Don't push me so far
Fight the feeling
Show me your strength
Fight the feeling

Verse 1: Method Man
As I walk in da shadow of death
Sixteen men on a deadman's chest
Your host is heat, Mr. H-O-T
And I get ya get splashed with da Tec
Nobody go till da God say so
You got a second or mo'
To run for da door
Before I blow back off da Meth contact
You didn't know Stat
Cook you down like that
Chorus1: Sharleen
And when I get that feeling (Yo, Yo)
I can no longer slide, I can no longer run no no no
And when I get that feeling (Yo, Yo)
I can no longer hide,
for it's no longer fun no no no(All day, every day)
Chorus 2: Sharleen
Yeah, you can say what you want
But it won't change my mind
I'll feel the same, about you
And you can tell me your reasons
But it won't change my feelings
I'll feel the same, about you...
Verse 2: Method Man
See my pinky, see my thumb
See that kid with da pump shotgun

1x Chorus 1
2x Chorus 2
Sharleen:
I've said goodnight try to sleep tight
(M.M.: 1 time for ya crooked ear, 2 times for ya crooked ear)
Just dream of me
Go close your eyes cause I've closed mine
(M.M.: 3 times for ya crooked ear, 4 times for ya crooked ear)
When you dream of me
There are things i can't tell you i love you too much to say
I stand undressed but I'm not naked
You look at me and who I am
Bridge:
Understand that it is hard to tell you
That I've given all I have to give
And I can't understand your feelings
but then everybody has a life to live
Chorus:
once in a lifetime you have seen what I've seen
You will always swim for shore
Once in my lifetime,I'll never be in between
Somethings you just can't ignore
Now reach out, You can touch me
I'll let you have my life to share
Years the days and the minutes
Yes time has such a puzzling grace
(back to bridge and chorus repeated)
I just need to have your love
I just can't say no, it's a gift from way above
I just can't say no, it's the one big difference
If there's one thing I can't have
i just can't say no, I just can't say no
(back to chorus)
* I'll send you a postcard from heaven's ocean
I feel like staying here in heaven's ocean
I've been dreaming for days now
Jump in the sea I do that easily
The sounds drowning what I'm seeing
Count everyone for questions I have not known
(*Repeat)
There's a storm in my thoughts now
Come wash me clean beneath the waves with me
Now we're smiling see me smiling
Silence is what I need it's only in the sea
Round and round in Polo Mint City
Isn't it pretty in Polo Mint City
Round and round in Polo Mint City
Isn't it pretty in Polo Mint City
If you want to see my sunrise
Well I don't mind
Your lips so full like life itself
Been in love for a while
You know that I just want to see you
Yeah I have for a time
And it's balancing there upon my head
Just like last night on a bottle of wine
Hey you
Do you feel alright?
Hey you
Come on, come on, come on, come on back to me
You want to spend the night together
Pull your body close
So masterthief embrace my heart
Now you decided to show
Come discover what you can't find (talk to me talk to me)
There's no need to think (tell me tell me)
And it hits you there on the back of your head just like
Last night when you started to drink
Hey you
Do you feel alright?
Hey you
Come on, come on, come on, come on back to me
Time is all I have to give
You can have it if you choose
Time is all I have to give
You got me under your wing
Hey you
Do you feel alright?
Hey you
Come on, come on, come on, come on back to me
Time is all I have to give
You can have it if you choose
Time is all I have to give
You got me under your wing
Hey you
Do you feel alright?
Hey you
Come on, come on, come on, come on back to me
you came down as if from heaven
laid a soft hand on me
i kept on walking and thinking
where my life's gone i should weep
well i don't know where i've been going
i've never known the reason why
so listen to me
i'm scared to cry
the angel sat down at my table
i told her all my doubts and pain
she said there always is a time for love
that it would come to me againwell i don't know where i've been going
i've never known the reason why
so listen to me
i'm scared to cry
yeh, yeh, yeh
well i don't know where i've been going
i've never known the reason why
so listen to me
i'm scared to cry
yes, i am
so listen to me
i'm scared to cry
yeh, yeh, yeh, yeh
i don't know where i've been going
no, and i'm scared to cry
oh no, you gotta listen to me
yeh, you gotta listen
listen to me
cos i'm scared to cry
Funny how I'm on myself with you
Than I ever knew
If I see that its eleven I'll say its seven
To spend more time with you
So here you know what I'm saying
To you this evening
Think it through
You thought I was your best friend
There to your defence
I reach for someone new
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on to what we have
Yesterday is gone and the night is long
We'll hold on to what we have
Even though I've been with someone else
I'm so happy when I'm with you
And here we are again on some lost weekend
Yeh we are one or two
So here you know what I'm saying
To you this evening
Think it through
You thought I was your best friend
There to your defence
I know that I had you
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on to what we have
Yesterday is gone and the night is long
We'll hold on to what we have
Nothing leaves your mind but breaks your heart
But we both knew this from the start
I could mend your life, or ease your pain
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on to what we have
Yesterday is gone and the night is long
We'll hold on to what we have
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on to what we have
Yesterday is gone and the night is long
We'll hold on to what we have
Hold on to what we have
Hold on
Hold on
When you touch me
I feel there's nothing you can do to turn me away
And I know that
In the past you've had bad luck so I should help you stay
You're all I ever wanted
You're all I ever needed, it's you
You're all I've ever wanted
And loving you's the right thing to do
And I'll see it through
When I close my eyes
And think of you it takes me places that I've never seen
And the rain, it blows
You're brushing up against my skin to wash me clean
You're all I ever wanted
You're all I ever needed - it's you
You're all I've ever wanted
And loving you's the right thing to do
And I'll see it through
I'll show you the love in my head
I'll show you the love that we had
I'll show you the love in my head
I'll show you the love that we had
You're all I ever wanted
You're all I've ever needed, it's you
You're all I've ever wanted
And loving you's the right thing to do
You're all I ever wanted
You're all I've ever needed, it's you
You're all I've ever wanted
And loving you's the right thing to do
And I'll see it through
you know i can't tell the truth
cause all i do is lie
i feel like i'm laughing all the time
but all i do is cry
i wanna go to heaven
i wanna go to heaven
but i don't wanna die
i gave you it all child
but i paid for that
you walked away from me
yeh you turned your back
yes i wanna go to heaven
lord i wanna go to heaven
but i don't wanna die
no, no, i don't wanna die
i'll take what you can give me
i'll use all i can use
yes i'm sleeping with my worries now
i've nothing else to lose
cause i wanna go to heaven
yes i wanna go to heaven
i wanna go to heaven
lord i wanna go to heaven
but i don't wanna die
where were you when the lights went out
i ask you this in your defence
you fell for a river when all you wanted was a drink
to me that never made much sense
hear me now
with every word i breathe
believe in me if you can
yes hear me now
like a long lost friend
believe in me if you can
i live my life to the full each day
cause i'm scared of not being alive
well all that i'm wanting is the same for you
don't wanna tell you any lies
hear me now
with every word i breathe
believe in me if you can
yes hear me now
like a long lost friend
believe in me if you can
to all those people that i've never known
you know i could do untold harm
so find me a witness
who can justify a reason
let them come and raise their hand

with every word i breath
believe in me if you can
yes hear me now
like a long lost friend
believe in me if you can
hear me now
with every word i breath
believe in me if you can
yes hear me now
like a long lost friend
believe in me if you can
I deal the cards around
Around the table
Pull up a seat if you are able
Welcome to the dream hotel
If you've been there before
The yu'll know it well
I want you to find, find yourself
Don't let me down
Let me down
For too long
For too long
Lost in the funhouse
Dolphin blue
Wherever you're going I'll swim and find you
I heard you talkin'
Did you whisper my name
Or did you shout it
I want you to find, find yourself
Don't let me down
Let me down
For too long
For too long
Oh, I want you to find yourself
Oh, I want you to find yourself
I hear you chant every other day
Sweet son, sweet son
I want you to find yourself
Don't let me down
Let me down
For too long
For too long
Don't let me down
Let me down
For too long
(Instrumental)
Nobody wants to take the blame
Everybody wants to stay the same
All I want is what you had
I never meant to make you feel so sad
But you should have known it
'Cause I tried to show it
So it wouldn't happen this way
Yeah, I tried to show you
My beautiful angel
My beautiful angel
I only wanted you
To this day, I can't explain
Why I stole him away
I guess I thought you'd run to me
I didn't really know how wrong I'd be
Well you should have known it
'Cause I tried to show it
I've been tasting your tears for too long
Yeah, I tried to show you
My beautiful angel
My beautiful angel
I only wanted you
I never asked for nothin'
I, I only wanted you
My beautiful angel
My beautiful angel
I only wanted you, hey yeah
I tried to show you
My beautiful angel
I only wanted you
Sing low the baby 'cos we're here tonight
Together everyone is here in sight
The world and them, no they don't see our sky
But no it isn't right
Wash all the clothes when he is here in sight
I couldn't even be and try to hide
You've got my baby till the day I die
It's so cold outside
Here comes the big sleep scene in my eyes
Here comes the big sleep scene in my eyes
I go away 'cos daddy wasn't feeling right
The clouds passing by me in the moonlight
No coming down now that I've got the time
Oh, I was born to fly
Here comes the big sleep scene in my eyes
Here comes the big sleep scene in my eyes
(Instrumental)
(Instrumental)

[Verse 1]
Method Man
As I walk in the shadow of death
16 men on a dead man's chest
Your host this eve
Mister H-O-T
N-I-X ya get splashed with the tec'
No body go till the God say so
You got a second M-O
To run for the dough

You didn't know stack coz you down like that
[Chorus Part1]
Sharleen Spitteri
And when ah get that feelin'

For there's no longer fall, I don't know
Meth
All day every day
[Chorus Part2]
Sharleen
Yeah, you can say what you want
But it won't change my mind
I'll feel the same
About you
And you can tell me your reasons
But it won't change my feelings
I'll feel the same about you
[Verse 2]
Meth
See my pinky
See my thumb
See that kid with the pump-shot-gun
Mister Mef, hold the fort most def

Shaolin strut through the Shaolin slum
Rum-pum-pum on ma Shaolin drum

Meth
All day every day
[Chorus Part 2]
[Verse 3]

[Chorus]
[Chorus repeats]
Momma used to say be a ladies man, yuh yuh yuh

[Chorus repetition ends]
John John Blazini
All day every day, with the souffle'
All you cats got to react, to jump back
Kiss yourself, â'fore you get smacked
By the my appa-ra-tus comin' through with the stat-us
Connect-in', lethal weapon, lethal injection
Visual unseen, like gene
When I had men, I'm unforgiven
Locked in prison, in the Wu-Tang dirty dungeon
You should come into my 12 bar dirty dozen
Love you to death now, kiss of death
Every body wants to do what they gotta do, to breath, try to eat
Your minds on the rhymin', dancin', runnin' in money
They get dope biz, step in the square, cats â'n' Clan over here
Playas'
Yeah, an' it's all G-O-NEE
Hehe
You're the type of person that I need to meet
And I want to learn from you
I need this now do I ask too much
To be close to you
I want you, and your love, I want everything
Oh, I believe in love
So why believe in love
Some people are just living to be hurt
So I want to run to you
And I feel your warmth, but your cold to touch
When I am close to you
I see you, you've been hurt, now I see everything
Oh, I believe in love
So why believe in you
You make me want to shout
You make me want to cry
So why believe in you
I want you, and your love, I want everything
Oh, I believe in love
So why believe in you
You make me want to shout
You make me want to cry
(Instrumental)
Have you heard the sound of disappointment
It tears at you
Why didn't I realise that I could be conned by you
Taken for a fool
But as the light go down
There's no one left around
What will you do
Now you've hurt me
I won't let you stay
No matter what you say to me now
I won't let you stay
No matter what you say to me now
Hear what I'm saying it's not what I'm thinking
My head is like a chain of thoughts
Twisted in vain
When will you ever learn
That it's always the hard way
Now that we're through
I've nothing left to prove
To convince you
To convince you
I won't let you stay
No matter what you say to me now
I won't let you stay
No matter what you say to me now
I won't let you stay
No matter what you say to me now
You never cared what happened
Now you're the one who's laughing
Fool for love
Those rumours were true I was your fool
I won't let you stay
No matter what you say to me now
I won't let you stay
(Lennon/McCartney)
Try to see it my way
Do I have to keep on talking till I can't go on
While you see it your way
Run the risk of knowing that our love may soon be gone
We can work it out
We can work it out
Think of what you're saying
You can get it wrong and still you think that it's alright
Think of what I'm saying
We can work it out and get it straight, or say good night
We can work it out
We can work it out
Life is very short, and there's no time
For fussing and fighting, my friend
I have always thought that it's a crime
So I will ask you once again.
Try to see it my way
Only time will tell if I am right or I am wrong
While you see it your way
There's a chance that we may fall apart before too long
We can work it out
We can work it out
Life is very short, and there's no time
For fussing and fighting, my friend
I have always thought that it's a crime
So I will ask you once again
Try to see it my way
Only time will tell if I am right or I am wrong
While you see it your way
There's a chance that we may fall apart before too long
We can work it out
You said you was hurting, almost lost your mind,
And the man you love, he hurts you all the time.
When things go wrong, go wrong with you, it hurts me, too.
You love him more when you should love him less.
I pick up behind him and take his mess.
When things go wrong, go wrong with you, it hurts me, too.
He love another woman and I love you,
But you love him and stick to him like glue.
When things go wrong, go wrong with you, it hurts me, too.
Now you better leave him; he better put you down.
Oh, I won't stand to see you pushed around.
I feel like my hands are tied
I can't use them, I can't use them any more
I am waiting for someone to come to untie them
Yes untie me, just like before
You're on your high just now
I can't ride on it, that I won't allow
So don't help me through
I've something to prove
Yeah is there any love in your heart
Don't help me through
I've so much to prove
Yeah is there any love in your heart
Your heart
Playing with the game of chance
I know I'm ready
I want to make you understand
The answers are inside my head
Can't you see that
Can't you feel it
Then let go of my hand
You always give what I can take
That I know has been my mistake
So don't help me through
I've something to prove
Yeah is there any love in your heart
Don't help me through
I've so much to prove
Yeah is there any love in your heart
Your heart
You're on your high just now
I can't ride on it, that I won't allow
So don't help me through
I've something to prove
Yeah is there any love in your heart
Don't help me through
I've so much to prove
Yeah is there any love in your heart
You gave me all that I got
And there's no one to blame
Yeah yeah I'm still missing you
There's no need for this anger
There's no need for this pain
Yeah yeah I can't get through to you
You make want to scream
You make me want to lie
You break my heart
I can't get through to you
You make want to scream
You make me want to lie
You break my heart
I can't get through to you
You take hell from your friends
Then you throw them away
Now they're no use to you
You make want to scream
You make me want to lie
You break my heart
I can't get through to you
You make want to scream
You make me want to lie
You break my heart
You say you want a revolution
Well, you know
We all love to change the world
You say you want a revolution
Well, you know
We all love to change the world
But when you talk about destruction
Don't you know that you can count me out
Don't you know it's gonna be all right
You know it's gonna be all right
You know it's gonna be all right
You say you got a world solution
Well, you know
We'd all love to see the plan
You ask us for a contribution
Well, you know
We're all doing what we can
But when you want money
for whom with minds that hate
All I can tell is brother you have to wait
Don't you know it's gonna be all right
You know it's gonna be all right
You know it's gonna be all right
Yeah, oh yeah
You know it's gonna be all right
Honey came in and he caught me red-handed
Laying on the bathroom floor
Picture this we were both butt-naked
Banging on the bathroom floor
How could I forget
That I had given him the extra key
All this time he was standing there
He never took his eyes off me
It wasn't me
It wasn't me
(chorus 1)
Pull up to the bumper, baby
In your long black limousine
Pull up to the bumper, baby
And drive it in between
(chorus 2)
Pull it up
Don't drive through it
Back it up twice
Now that fits nice
(chorus 1)
(chorus 1)
I doesn't feel right
The lights are too bright
I'm feeling uptight in my sensual world
I need to be you
I need to breathe too
I need to see through life
With these sensitive words
I could blame it on you
I could blame it on my instincts
I could blame it on the train to the plane
The boat to the shore
So tell me what's the answer
No trouble in my face
There's not one anxious voice
You know I can't listen
I can't listen
You say that you are everything
Do you taste good
So c'mon, c'mon, c'mon
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon
No air around me
I need to feel free
I'm private property
In my sensual world
No indecisions
I have a vision
There's no collision there
With these sensitive words
I could blame it on you
I could blame it on my instincts
I could blame it on the train to the plane
The boat to the shore
So tell me what's the answer
No trouble in my face
There's not one anxious voice
You know I can't listen
I can't listen
You say that you are everything
Do you taste good
So c'mon, c'mon, c'mon
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon
No trouble in my face
There's not one anxious voice
You know I can't listen
I can't listen
You say that you are everything
Do you taste good
So c'mon, c'mon, c'mon
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon
No trouble in my face
There's not one anxious voice
You know I can't listen
I can't listen
You say that you are everything
Do you taste good
So c'mon, c'mon, c'mon
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon
All from too much choice yeh yeh
I could blame it on the train to the plane
The boat to the shore
So tell me what's the answer
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon
Sometimes I feel I've got to
Run away I've got to
Get away from the pain
Your driving into the heart of me
The love we shared
Seems to go nowhere
And I lost my ride
For I toss and turn
Can't sleep at night
Once I ran to you
Now I run from you
The tainted love you've given
I gave you all a girl could give ya
Now take that give that
That's not livin'
Tainted love
Tainted love
Now I know I've got to run away
I've got to get away
You really don't want anymore from me
You make things right
You need someone to hold you tight
And you think love is to pray
But I'm sorry but I don't pray that way
Once I ran to you
Now I run from you
The tainted love you've given
Gave you all a girl could give ya
Now take that give that
That's not livin'
Tainted love
Tainted love
Don't touch me please
I cannot stand the way you tease
I love you although you heart me so
Now it's time to take my things and go
Tainted love
Tainted love
Tainted love
Tainted love
Just stop you know you can't deny
Just stop you know there's no reply
I've had it all don't say that
Just stop and tell me it's good bye
Don't you understand
What I'm saying
We never gave ourselves the chance
You know I've got to get away
Run, leave you behind
The world goes slowly
So sad to leave this time
The ring you were holding
Has hit the floor
And I can't live in this house with you no more
This time you know you'll hesitate
Deep down you hope it's not too late
You said it all except good bye
I think it's time that we should try
Don't you understand
What I'm saying
We never gave ourselves the chance
You know I've got to get away
Run, leave you behind
The world goes slowly
So sad to leave this time
The ring you were holding
Has hit the floor
And I can't live in this house with you no more
Because I know
I still loved you
And I can't stay another day
Get away
You know I've got to get away
Get away
You know I've got to get away
You know I've got to get away
I've broken the neck
You played your last hand now
You prooved everything
Living this life
You should have learned
It's like winter without spring
You say that you love
Unlike my past lovers
You just don't have a clue
Some blue conversation
Each night
But none of this is true
I fell in love with you
I'll give it all again
Yeah I fell in love with you
I've never felt it more
Every night
We're thrown together
'Cause love won't let us part
We find something new
New in eachother
Yeah it's time you made a start
I want you to burn
I want you to miss me
Yeah when I'm not around
A new conversation
A man of his word
And some thunder in this town
I fell in love with you
I'll give it all again
Yeah I fell in love with you
I've never felt it more
I fell in love with you
I'll give it all again
Yeah I fell in love with you
I've never felt it more
I fell in love with you
I'll give it all again
Yeah I fell in love with you
I've never felt it more
I fell in love with you
I'll give it all again
Yeah I fell in love with you
I've never felt it more
I fell in love with you
I'll give it all again
Yeah I fell in love with you
have you still got the illusion
of what's lying ahead
then you'd still have your innocence
and days wouldn't seem so bad
but i've always wondered
why you've never grown
but now I know
you gotta take a little time for yourself
you gotta live a little life on your own
you gotta take a little time for yourself
it's just what you're needing
storms always make you happy
but they hide everything inside
make believe that they're soft to touch
then they blind you with their light
that has always made me wonder
why you've never grown
but now, I know
you gotta take a little time for yourself
you gotta live a little life on your own
yes you gotta take a little time for yourself
it's just what you're needing
I know what you're needing
yes I do
but i've always wondered
why you've never grown
and now I know
you gotta take a little time for yourself
you gotta live a little life on your own
yes, you gotta take a little time for yourself
it's just what you're needing
oh that's what you're needing yeh
(take a little time for yourself)
oh take a little time
(live a little life on your own)
oh live a little life
(take a little time for yourself)
oh that's what you're needing
oh that's what you're needing
you gotta take a little time, yeh
oh live a little life
Once I had a love and it was a gas
Soon turned out had a heart of glass
Seemed like the real thing,
only to find
Mucho mistrust,
love's gone behind
Once I had a love and it was divine
Soon found out I was losing my mind
It seemed like the real thing
but I was so blind
Mucho mistrust,
love's gone behind
In between
What I find is pleasing
and I'm feeling fine,
love is so confusing
There's no peace of mind
if I fear I'm losing you
It's just no good,
you teasing like you do
Once I had a love and it was a gas
Soon turned out had a heart of glass
Seemed like the real thing,
only to find
Mucho mistrust,
love's gone behind
Lost inside
Adorable illusion and I cannot hide
I'm the one you're using,
please don't push me aside
We coulda made it cruising, yeah
Yeah, riding high on love's true bluish light
Once I had a love and it was a gas
Soon turned out to be a pain in the ass
Seemed like the real thing only to find
Mucho mistrust,
love's gone behind
You never knew, when the world stood still
How I lost my head
You never knew, when you heard my name
How you had to go
When you left me so
Now you'll never know
Beliefs will never show
Come on, come on, come on
And rescue me
Didn't I glow for you
Didn't I show for you
Come on and rescue me
It's always been down to your behaviour
How you've lead the way
It's always been I never was a saviour
In the smallest case, you're just saving face
Now you'll never know
Beliefs will never show
Come on, come on, come on
And rescue me
Didn't I glow for you
Didn't I show for you
Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a long, long year
Stole many a man's soul and faith
And I was 'round when Jesus Christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that Pilate
Washed his hands and sealed his fate
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game
I stuck around St. Petersberg
When I saw it was a time for a change
Killed the Czar and his ministers
Anastasia screamed in vain
I rode a tank
Held a general's rank
When the Blitzkrieg raged
And the bodies stank
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name, oh yeah
What's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah
I watched with glee
While your kings and queens
Fought for ten decades
For the Gods they made
I shouted out
"Who killed the Kennedys?"
When after all
It was you and me
Let me please introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
And I laid traps for troubadors
Who get killed before they reached Bombay
Pleased to meet you
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah, get down, baby
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But what's confusing you
Is just the nature of my game
Just as every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners saints
As heads is tails
Just call me Lucifer
'Cause I'm in need of some restraint
So if you meet me
Have some courtesy
Have some sympathy, and some taste
Use all your well-learned politesse
Or I'll lay your soul to waste, um yeah
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, um yeah
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, um baby, get down
Woo, who
Oh yeah, get on down
Oh yeah
Oh yeah!
Tell me baby, what's my name
Tell me honey, baby guess my name
Tell me baby, what's my name
I tell you one time, you're to blame
Ooo, who
Ooo, who
Ooo, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Oh, yeah
What's my name
Tell me, baby, what's my name
Tell me, sweetie, what's my name
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
You take me down, down to your room
What could we find here
Don't pretend that you never knew
Knew this would happen
Cause you take, you take
And now you'll face the truth
It's your turn now, it's your turn now
You gave me love (x4)
It's morning now
Do you feel afraid lying there
And we speak to each other
Like we never met before
Cause you've attentions
Turn around one day
You've had your time
You gave me love (x4)
Come on and lay me down
Take a chance with me
and reach my brow
I said come on and lay me down
Take a chance with me
and reach my brow
I said come on and lay me down
Now take a chance with me
It's been so long
It's been a year since you've been here
You're looking good
Let's snatch a tune and have a beer
We'll have a heart to heart
There's talking to be done
No teardrops from the start
We've only just begun
Oh darling, please
You want the one
But you can never let him know
That it's been hard
In time you'll learn to let it go
You can't keep hanging on
You're feeling like you can't go home
I know your mind's made up
Though it feels as if it's come undone
Oh darling, please
Oh darling, please
It's just emotions that are
Running down inside your head
Yeah, we could talk on by
What's to left to say we haven't said
Oh darling, please
All I see is the truth now
That's all I want you to know
That I'll never turn my back on you
And leave you out there on your own
I could never hide my feelings
I could never let you fall
And I want to remember
All the love that I've now found
Ohh oh, I say a prayer
Prayer for you
Ohh ohh, for you
I could never make a promise
I'd only break it in the end
Then you're looking for the answers
You'd never trust in me again
And I could never watch you suffer
I could never let you down
And I hope you soon discover
All the truth that I've now found
Ohh oh, I say a prayer
Prayer for you
Ohh ohh, for you
Ohh oh, I say a prayer
Prayer for you
Ohh ohh, for you
Ohh oh, I say a prayer
Prayer for you
Ohh ohh, for you
Ohh oh, I say a prayer
Prayer for you
Ohh ohh, for you
For you
For you
I say a prayer for you
For you
Oh you
A prayer for you
I can think of better days
As I look into your eyes
And I feel that in a way
I know that you'll be alright
And he walks for a mile
It's his style
Baby never acts wild
Feels he's invencible
He walks for a while
But I never ask why
He needs his time in isolation
It's your views
On your groove
On a Sunday afternoon
Paint it slow
Then you'll know
What you need to work out soon
I'm gonna whisper in your ear
I've a lot of things to say to you
I'll give you all my universe
You're all I want and that's for sure
And he walks for a mile
It's his style
Baby never acts wild
Feels he's invencible
He walks for a while
But I never ask why
He needs his time in isolation
It's your views
On your groove
On a Sunday afternoon
Paint it slow
Then you'll know
What you need to work out soon
It's your views
On your groove
On a Sunday afternoon
Paint it slow
Then you'll know
What you need to work out soon
In your darkest hour
Take my hand and I'll show you
Understand it much better
I'll make sure you get there
It's your views
On your groove
On a Sunday afternoon
Paint it slow
Then you'll know
What you need to work out soon
It's your views
On your groove
On a Sunday afternoon
Paint it slow
Then you'll know
Oh, I remember you said can I fight and breathe
So now I always, always hold my breath you see
You're my heaven, you're my spaceman in your shiny shiny suit
I'll send up all my prayers and hope they're understood
Love started making sense
I always make mistakes at my expense
Love has placed a seed
And you're the sun that shines down upon me
Yeh when we are together
And when we are apart
There is no space in our hearts
I've got these feelings
It's been too long since I've tried to take the time
So now I'm fallin', fallin' into the sublime
When you brush against a stranger
And you both apologise
And when you see in them something you recognise
Love started making sense
I always make mistakes at my expense
Love has placed a seed
And you're the sun that shines down upon me
Yeh when we are together
And when we are apart
There is no space in our hearts
I've got these feelings
Yeh when we are together
And when we are apart
There is no space in our hearts
I've got these feelings
Yeh when we are together
And when we are apart
There is no space in our hearts
I've got these feelings
Yeh when we are together
And when we are apart
There is no space in our hearts
I've got these feelings
Yeh when we are together
And when we are apart
There is no space in our hearts
I can't stand the rain
Against my window
Bringing back sweet memories
I can't stand the rain
Against my window
Bringing back sweet memories
When we are together
Making love forever
I can't stand the rain
Against my window
Said you got tired of the same old rock n roll
Let's anew at sunset, life with a lot more soul
Well I know you spend a lot of time alone in your head
Remember what you said
I never thought you'd be so easily lead
(Pre-)
One million lights, they're burning our eyes til the morning
Run for our lives as you watch all the cars on the freeway
And you said I... I come from Detroit City
I... I'm hard to satisfy
And I want someone like you, you look so pretty
In Detroit City
You said you got some on the city again, it's dreams
They make cuts in the heat while the siren screams
I couldn't believe someone like me would leave you so weak
We're dancing in the street
You know we don't need no sleep
(Pre-)
One million lights, they're burning our eyes til the morning
Run for our lives as you watch all the cars on the freeway
And you said I... I come from Detroit City
I... I'm hard to satisfy
And I want someone like you, you look so pretty
In Detroit City
And now the lights are burning out
And now the boys are turning back
But you stay here with me
In the city
And he said I... I come from Detroit City
I... I'm hard to satisfy
And I want someone like you, you look so pretty
In Detroit City
I never meant to hurt you babe
I never meant to hurt you babe
Now's my chance to breathe
Coming down you are too slow
Not to know about us
Listen now cause you're too near
To this maddening crowd without us
I never meant to hurt you babe
I never meant to hurt you babe
Now's my chance to breathe
Feeling down before you go
You should know about us
Listen now before you hear
From this maddening crowd about us
I never meant to hurt you babe
I never meant to hurt you babe
Any time we have a conversation
It's never what you wanna hear
It's funny how much words can hurt you
Even after all these years
I wanna make an observation
'Bout how you tear your world apart
And every time I try to tell you
You blame it on your fickle heart
How they're hurting you
When they're not deserving you
Are so, are so afraid of you
It's time to have a conversation
Give it up,
I'm never gonna hold you up
You've always been afraid of love
It's time to have a conversation
Waking up is never easy
So why don't you come over here
Tell me 'bout the dreams that haunt you
Tell me 'bout your secret fears
I wanna change your obsession
If only I could make you see
How it's all your own creation
That's bringing you this misery
How they're hurting you
When they're not deserving you
Are so, are so afraid of you
It's time to have a conversation
Give it up,
I'm never gonna hold you up
You've always been afraid of love
It's time to have a conversation
The words you hear in your head
Were never said, were never said
The heart you break, you mistake
For me instead, for me instead
How they're hurting you
When they're not deserving you
Are so, are so afraid of you
It's time to have a conversation
Give it up,
I'm never gonna hold you up
You've always been afraid of love
It's time to have a conversation
Hurting you
When they're not deserving you
Are so, are so afraid of you
It's time to have a conversation
Give it up,
I'm never gonna hold you up
You've always been afraid of love
Attention annoys me I could disappoint
So just take a walk and try to avoid
The cars in the street now they could knock you down
So just take a bus it's a long way down
There's a ticket in my hand
If you want
I don't know what you think
* Tell me where you want to go
Take a breath when I ask you to just try
Close your eyes I'll take you there
I could take you anywhere come fly
Tell me what you want to do
And I can make it up for you and lie
Laughter annoys me makes me feel sad
Yes I wrote that book, can I have it back
There's black all around me and I'm lost in this crowd
There's no coming back cause I'm on my way down
There's a ticket in my hand
I can't use it without you
(*Repeat)
So tell me where you want to go
Take a breath when I ask you to just try
Close your eyes I'll take you there
I could take you anywhere come fly
So tell me where you want to go
Take a breath when I ask you to just try
Tell me what you want to do
And I can make it up for you and lie
So tell me where you want to go
Listening I hear your voice
Together you and I have nothing left to carry on
And I'm seeing you slip away
Cause you never cared
You never even realised
Now the thrill has gone
Cause I can see it in your eyes
Now the thrill has gone
And it was you who threw it all away
Now the thrill has gone
Wondering as I look outside
Changes all around
There's nothing left here to hide
And I'm asking you have you lost your soul
Cause you never cared
You never even realised that I wasn't there
Now the thrill has gone
Cause I can see it in your eyes
Now the thrill has gone
And it was you who threw it all away
Now the thrill has gone
Say to me what I want to hear
Say to me what I want to hear
Cause you never cared
You never even realised that I wasn't there
Now the thrill has gone
Cause I can see it in your eyes
Now the thrill has gone
And it was you who threw it all away
Now the thrill has gone
Now the thrill has gone
Cause I can see it in your eyes
Now the thrill has gone
And it was you who threw it all away
Where there are shadows
There will be light
You write that you know me
You'll wish that you were right
Fall into the playground
You think that you are wiser
But I know
That one day
That this will all be mine
Now you give me reason
To answer you with lies
You thought your years were with you
You're only sad not wise
So fall into the playground
You thought the game was yours
But I know
That one day
That this will all be mine
Yes, I know
That one day
I'm a long long way from yesterday
And with time my ideals change
I want to spend all of my time
The way that it should be spent
Road maps here of 20 towns
Flights a faithless place
I eat another Milk Bar down
Yawn and wash my face
You know you're nervous when you see me sway
Too much time by yourself
You know you always seem to back away
Don't hide within yourself
There's a certain hill I want to climb
Like tar bubbles on the path
When they all pop up in summertime
Forever my climb will last
Road maps here of 20 towns
Flights a faithless place
I eat another Milk Bar down
Yawn and wash my face
You know you're nervous when you see me sway
Too much time by yourself
You know you always seem to back away
Don't hide within yourself
Hush hush shhh
Hush hush shhh
Hush hush shhh
Hush hush shhh
You know you're nervous when you see me sway
Too much time by yourself
You know you always seem to back away
Even now I can see that day
The fear in your eyes
Tell me why
Were you so afraid
Somethings they turn out this way
Fire the bullet and find
That you don't know what you left behind
When we laid you to rest
Tell me why were you so afraid
Tell me why were you so afraid
You walk this line
You walk this line of hate
Where to people are so blind
Blind to the evil it creates
Never say too much
Never think out loud
Tell me why were you so afraid
Tell me why were you so afraid
I know one day you'll find a way
To heal the wounds
I know one day you'll find a way
To heal the wounds
Tell me why were you so afraid
Even now I can see that day
The fear in your eyes
You gave all you lived for
Whilst you kept your pride
Tell me why were you so afraid
Sunday is the saddest day
When we're apart everything I say
Gets in the way, gets into place
Of how I feel standing face to face
Sunday is the saddest day
All you want, all you breathe
You won't need to find another
* Tell me what is wrong, tell me where we belong
And what we said, tell it's only in my head
Show me who's to blame show me we're the same
And where we go, show me something I don't know
Sunday is the saddest day
Don't give me legends, ther're far too late
Your sweet crusader he got away
I know that's hard to take
Sunday is the saddest day
You don't want you don't need
Cause it's hard to pull together
(* Repeat)
Sunday is the saddest day
You pick apart everything I say
Sunday is the saddest day
All you want, all you breathe
You won't need to find another
I'm so in love with you
I'm so in love with you
Whether it is right or it's wrong
I'm too weak to be strong
I'm so in love with you
Well you say you need something
To help you where you're down, to take your fears away
Yeh you say you'd do anything
To keep your feet off the ground
And help you on your way
You're all I need
Yeh you are all that I need
I'm so in love with you
I'm so in love with you
Whether it is right or it's wrong
I'm too weak to be strong
I'm so in love with you
When you see your reflection
You say it isn't you
Then you turn the other way
And I'm watching you suffer
Yourself and your pain
you know there are times when you impress me
when you donÅ even try
you say youŠŽ get along without me
i know thatÅ something you deny
i know that you just want me to stay
donÅ need pretending you can find your own way
just listen to the words that i say
if you could, iŠŽ be understood
iŠŽ love you to love me
yes iŠŽ love you to love me too
are you sharing my thoughts
cos iŠŽ love you to love me too
come over here, give me a shoulder
how many times have you turned love
iÅ e all this love here to give you
i still need some in return
i know that you just want me to stay
donÅ need pretending you can find your own way
just listen to the words that i say
if you could, iŠŽ be understood
iŠŽ love you to love me
yes iŠŽ love you to love me too

are you sharing my thoughts
cos i need you to need me too
When you touch me
I feel there's nothing you can do to turn me away
And I know that
In the past you've had bad luck so I should help you stay
You're all I ever wanted
You're all I ever needed, it's you
You're all I've ever wanted
And loving you's the right thing to do
And I'll see it through
When I close my eyes
And think of you it takes me places that I've never seen
And the rain, it blows
You're brushing up against my skin to wash me clean
You're all I ever wanted
You're all I ever needed - it's you
You're all I've ever wanted
And loving you's the right thing to do
And I'll see it through
I'll show you the love in my head
I'll show you the love that we had
I'll show you the love in my head
I'll show you the love that we had
You're all I ever wanted
You're all I've ever needed, it's you
You're all I've ever wanted
And loving you's the right thing to do
You're all I ever wanted
You're all I've ever needed, it's you
You're all I've ever wanted
And loving you's the right thing to do
How can I know which way to turn
Between my feelings and my dreams
I'm drowning in tennement oceans
There is more than this
I know that in my heart
I feel like going home again
But I know that in my heart
I'm scared of what I'll find
It's raining on the kelvin
The rhythms never change
It's like a whisper
A whisper out of range
People can't convince me
I'll say again
I'm not ashamed
So how can I know which way to turn
When I walk on different grounds
No one can tell me
There is more than this
I know that in my heart
I feel like going home again
But I know that in my heart
I'm scared of what I'll find
I know that in my heart
I want to see another side
But I know that in my heart
I'm scared of what I'll find
Lord find me, don't turn me away
Lord find me, don't turn me away
I know that in my heart
I want to see another side
But I know that in my heart
I'm scared of what I'll find
I know that in my heart
I feel like going home again
But I know that in my heart
When I'm lost
You take my hand and make me burn
All of the time
Turn my life around
I feel lost, take my life and make me shine
You feel life, life won't let you down
With the love we take
Have I ever let you down?
Travel round and see the world
Is there something I should find?
And I dream
Nothing I can find
And I dream
Nothing I can find
So to life
Let me whisper in your ear
Say the words
I'm what you long to hear
And a place we can go to is in my mind
I love life, there's no way you can be mine
With the love we take
Have I ever let you down?
Travel round and see the world
Is there something I should find?
And I dream
Nothing I can find
And I dream
Nothing I can find
You buy a diamond for my throne
Then comes a penthouse, on a hill
but my need to dream will still go on and on
All of the time
All of the time
All of the time
And I dream
Nothing I can find
And I dream
Nothing I can find
You buy a diamond for my throne
Then comes a penthouse, on a hill
but my need to dream will still go on and on
You buy a diamond for my throne
Then comes a penthouse, on a hill
but my need to dream will still go on and on
You buy a diamond for my throne
The comes a penthouse, on a hill
but my need to dream will still go on and on
All these bruises keep you awake
I guess I'm just too tired to sleep
God only knows I'm too lost to cry
For kissing liars has kept me true
* I'll fall but I'll heal
So hold me tight cause I'm so lonely
I'll fall but I'll heal
So hold me tight cause I'm so lonely
He hates so much his love he says
Inside it's dark I need to smile
He shouts so loud I never hear
That's why the truth's always abused
As I slip into unconsiousness
I never felt so much to blame
(*Repeat)
As I slip into unconsiousness
I never felt so much to blame
Me and the snow vines quiet light
Very overlaid and seen
I watch them falling from this category
But that's the risk I take
But that's the risk I take
You said we're meant to be together
You left with someone I know
Took one bite straight from the apple
And now my love has flown
Well you said you wished you knew me
You can't have everything
For I knew I wouldn't know you
But I got under your skin
And the stars are falling cold
I smell the hail and snow
Turning cold inside his locks of hair
But that's the risk I take
But that's the risk I take
You said we're meant to be together
You left with someone I know
Took one bite straight from the apple
And now my love has flown
Well you said you wished you knew me
You can't have everything
For I knew I wouldn't know you
But I got under your skin
You said we're meant to be together
You left with someone I know
Took one bite straight from the apple
And now my love has flown
Well you said you wished you knew me
You can't have everything
For I knew I wouldn't know you
But I got under your skin
But I got under your skin
Just lately I've had a go
To find me a new world and candy home
All I needed was a little affection for my soul
Hey, maybe it's time to go
I should have told you a couple of years ago
And I know what's gonna play on my mind
So I'll meet you on the floor
Are you ready for some more?
Just be careful what you wish for
Just be careful what you hope for
Just be careful what you wish for
Just be careful what you hope for
Tell me who do you think you see?
Am I still the girl that you thought I'd be?
Do you care that I might be for real?
Hey, maybe it's time to go
I should have told you a couple of years ago
And I know what's gonna play on my mind
So I'll meet you on the floor
Are you ready for some more?
Just be careful what you wish for
Just be careful what you hope for
Just be careful what you wish for
Just be careful what you hope for
Just be careful what you wish for
Just be careful what you hope for
Just be careful what you wish for
Just be careful what you hope for
Just be careful what you wish for
Just be careful what you hope for
You're wish, it may come true!
You're wish, it may come true!
You're wish, it may come true!
Every night before I rest my head
Hold me close as I draw another breath
Still hoping, that our love's not broken
Every flight that we plan ahead
Look to the skies for the words that I've said
Still hoping, that our world's not broken
So tonight, you're everything upon the screen
And everything I want to be
I'll come with you and dream my dream
So tonight, in every way I want you to stay
And every little word you say - oh
Every morning when I wait for you
Each way I look you'll see something new
Still hoping, that my world's not broken
Every time I dream crazy dreams
Of bright water and brightless sunbeams
I'm hoping, that my mind's not broken
So tonight, you're everything upon the screen
And everything I want to be
I'll come with you and dream my dream
So tonight, in every way I want you to stay
And every little word you say - oh
So tonight, you're everything upon the screen
And everything I want to be
I'll come with you and dream my dream
So tonight, in every way I want you to stay
And every little word you say
I'll come with you and dream my dream
So tonight, in every way I want you to stay
I tried to tell you that on Monday
The day before I went away
I was always there when you were coming down
I had to take some time
Take some time
You know I'm needing you for so much pleasure
I'm always wanting you to take me there
I need to be the one to tell you that you're on the right road
And how some time alone is only fair
You know I'm renowned
And feel it's a lonely time I've had
But it never felt that bad
I tried to tell you that on Monday
The day before I went away
I was always there when you were coming down
You never took the time
Took the time
I wish you'd known me when I was much younger
As I closed my eyes upon the world
But now an open mind which seems much stronger
A perfect doubting of your every word
You know I'm renowned
And feel it's a lonely time I've had
But it never felt that bad
I tried to tell you that on Monday
The day before I went away
I was always there when you were coming down
You never took the time
Took the time
C'mon c'mon
C'mon c'mon
C'mon c'mon
C'mon c'mon
You know I'm renowned
For the lonely time I've had
But it never felt that bad
I tried to tell you that on Monday
The day before I went away
I was always there when you were coming down
You never took the time
Took the time
I tried to tell you that on Monday
The day before I went away
I was always there when you were coming down
You never took the time
Took the time
Never took the time
Never took the time
Never took the time
To stop me
I always wanted you to stop me
You never took the time
All the money's on your hip now
Need to take another trip down
Protect all mothers for they lay in the path
I can deal with the lovers
Always dealt with dreams
But I've never known what reality means
Cause you're the sweetest thing
I've waited for
I feel so good about you
You are always on my lookout
Sing what you are all about
Just think, you've got the power
Girl, you've got the power
Lay me down to the right side
Tie me up till it feels fine
You know the uses and you've no compromise
Put it down with the two time
I always know when it feels right
I will if you will, I'm just taking my time
Cause you're the sweetest thing
I've waited for
I feel so good about you
You are always on my lookout
Sing what you are all about
Just think, you've got the power
Girl, you've got the power
Cause you're the sweetest thing
I've waited for
I feel so good about you
You are always on my lookout
Sing what you are all about
Just think, you've got the power
Girl, you've got the power
You are always on my lookout
Sing what you are all about
Just think, you've got the power
Girl, you've got the power
Ah ah ah
There are things I can't tell you
I love you too much to say
I stand undressed but I'm not naked
You look at me and who I am
Understand that it is hard to tell you
That I've given all I have to give
And I can understand your feelings
But then everybody has a life to live
Once in a lifetime
You have seen what I've seen
You will always swim for shore
Once in my lifetime (hey, hey)
I'll never be in between
Some things you just can't ignore
Now reach out, you can touch me
I'll let you have my life to share
Years, the days and the minutes
Yeah time has such a puzzling grace
Understand that it is hard to tell you
That I've given all I have to give
And I can understand your feelings
But then everybody has a life to live
Once in a lifetime
You have seen (ah, ah, ah) what I've seen
You will always swim for shore
Once in my lifetime (hey, hey)
I'll never be (ah, ah, ah) in between
Something you just can't ignore
I just need to have your love
I just can't say no
It's a gift from way above
I just can't say no
(Ooh) it's the one big difference
If there's one thing I can't have
I just can't say no, I just can't say no
Hey, hey, hey
Once in a lifetime
You have seen what I've seen
You will always swim for shore
Once in my lifetime (hey, hey)
I'll never be in between
(I just can't say no)
Some things you just can't ignore
(I just can't say no, hey, hey, hey)
Once in a lifetime
(I just need to have your love, ah, ah, ah)
You have seen what I've seen
You will always swim for shore
(It's a gift from way above)
Once in my lifetime (hey, hey)
I'll never be in between (ah, ah, ah)
(I just can't say no)
Some things you just can't ignore
Move in, move in
Move in, watch me move in
Invite me to a party
Hang some color on the walls
It makes me feel like eighteen
I'm gonna change things for us all
Sooner or later the music goes
I see a trace of sweat on your face
Move in, move in
Remember now the times we had
Move in, watch me move in
Remember now the times we had
Our world's turned round but that's okay
Yet things still look the same
People dancing so much
Keep it pushing come what may
Sooner or later the music goes
I see a trace of sweat on your face
Move in, move in
Remember now the times we had
Move in, watch me move in
Remember now the times we had
I see the lights are low now
But still the faces glow
A year that's full of zeros
Yet who knows what that holds
Sooner or later the music goes
I see a trace of sweat on your face
Move in, move in
Remember now the times we had
Move in, watch me move in
Remember now the times we had
Move in, move in
Remember now the times we had
Move in, watch me move in
Remember now the times we had
Lead on
Move in, move in
Oh the music goes
Remember now the times we had
And I feel it pushing on, baby
Move in, watch me move in
Remember now the times we had
I feel it's pushing
Push against me
Move in, move in
Please, stop
Remember now the times we had
I feel the music
Inside me
Move in, watch me move in

if you're my friend
yeh i may as well tell you
you'll never be my friend
oh that's the way i choose them
all my friendstelephone only rings when you've got success
you only want us when we're at our best
but we don't see you

it isn't our fault that your life's depressed
we've listened and we've learned
that all of the words that you say
yeh all of the words that you say

Somebody told me it was over
Nobody told me where it began
No one believes in you
I understand
Like a blind man who's lost his way
No one hears a word of what you say
I forgive you
Would you do the same
I would believe you
If only you'd be true
I would believe if it were true
Everybody wants to be a winner
Nobody wants to lose their game
Its insane for me
Its insane for you
Its insane
I don't know where you been looking
I think it's only in your mind
Tied so tight inside of you all the thoughts unkind
I would believe you If only you'd be true
I would believe if it were true
* Cause everybody wants to be a winner
Nobody wants to lose their game
It's the same for me
It's the same for you
It's insane
I would believe you if only you'd be true
I'm getting older and I can't escape time
Bright light city
You're her religion
Superstars in their own private movie
Play just like children
Lies that take her
Places she's never seen
The kiss and tell of it all
To her seems so obsene
She's so pretty her hair is a mess
We all love her
To that we confess
* She has a halo
We really do adore her
For she has a halo
Can we touch her
For her blindness she sees much further
Like on a wide screen viewing going down on her
She's so pretty her hair is a mess
We all love her
To that we confess
(* Repeat)
She believes in everything
And she believes in nothing in everything
(* Repeat)
She believes in everything
And she believes in nothing in everything
She believes in everything
And she believes in nothing
She has a halo
I saw him today at the station
There was something on his mind
I felt I was on the devil's mission
Trying to steal him from a friend
I know it hurts you
And you can't ask why
I know it hurts you
Takes a train to cry
Your only future is promises
For so many years
Your only future is promises
I know you can make it if you try
You've been living life in the past
I'm gonna reach out I'm gonna grab your heart
You've been living life in the eyes of a stranger
You've gotta free your mind
Cause I want to get nearer
Your only future is promises
For so many years
Your only future is promises
I know you can make it if you try
Take the chance and make the move
But don't think that I will approve
For once I've finally realised
Being with her wasted your life
Your only future is promises
For so many years
Your only future is promises
I know you can make it if you try
Your only future is promises
For so many years
Sometimes it seems like winter's end
The weeks they just go on like a friend of mine
The sadness, it has left a trace
I think that you can see that on my face again
'Cause it always made things better
Now my days seem so much better
Now my days seem so much quieter
And I know, yeah, I know
It will never be the same again
Sometimes I feel my hands are tied
I need someone to come and cut these ropes of mine
They'll wear a coat of wind and rain
To drive away the fears that I can't face again
And they always make things better
Twenty seconds on the back time
I feel you're on the run
Never lived too long to make right
I see you're doing fine
And when I get that feeling
I can no longer slide
I can no longer run
Ah no no
And when I get that feeling
I can no longer hide
For it's no longer fun
Ah no no
Yeah, you can say what you want
But it won't change my mind
I'll feel the same about you
And you can tell me your reasons
But it won't change my feelings
I'll feel the same about you
What I am is what you want of me
Yeah, now that I'm not there
I took the tables away from you
It's turned and I don't care
And when I get that feeling
I can no longer slide
I can no longer run
Ah no no
And when I get that feeling
I can no longer hide
For it's no longer fun
Ah no no
Yeah, you can say what you want
But it won't change my mind
I'll feel the same about you
And you can tell me your reasons
But it won't change my feelings
I'll feel the same about you
Yeah, you can say what you want
But it won't change my mind
I'll feel the same about you
And you can tell me your reasons
But it won't change my feelings
I'll feel the same about you
I've said goodnight, try to sleep tight
Ah, just dream of me
Go, close your eyes 'cause I've closed mine
The sun will shine from time to time
Oh, when you dream of me, yeah
Well, you can say what you want
But it won't change my mind
I'll feel the same about you
And you can tell me your reasons
But it won't change my feelings
I'll feel the same about you
Yeah, you can say what you want
But it won't change my mind
I'll feel the same about you
And you can tell me your reasons
But it won't change my feelings
I'll feel the same about you
Yeah, you can say what you want
But it won't change my mind
I'll feel the same about you
And you can tell me your reasons
But it won't change my feelings
Days, they surround you through the day
Words imprison you they say
Maybe there was something you can do
I look around there's no resisting truth
Just breathe it out
And find out what you're lookin' for
Yeah, breathe it out
And find out what you're lookin' for
Just leave it now
And let your mind roam free
Help me get you through the night
Hush and listen to the quiet
Tell me, if there's somethin' I can do
Trust in me, don't be misunderstood
Just breathe it out
And find out what you're lookin' for
Yeah, breathe it out
And find out what you're lookin' for
Just leave it now
And let your mind roam free
Just breathe it out
And find out what you're lookin' for
Yeah, breathe it out
And find out what you're lookin' for
Just leave it now
And let your mind roam free
Just breathe it out
And find out what you're lookin' for
Yeah, breathe it out
And find out what you're lookin' for
Just leave it now
And let your mind roam free
Turn another page in the Red Book
Then you'll see
Turn another page in the Red Book
Then you'll see
Turn another page in the Red Book
Now we've traveled far
But are we any nearer
There's a feeling we're reaching for
In the fields where it all began
Listen, do you hear
I thought I heard a promise
But that empty feeling grows
And I'm scared that I would forget
But I, I can remember
Look around you now
There's people still hanging on
See, it's me, I'm the one
Believe in me, I've just begun
We'll be here when the lights come on
When it all comes down to
Me and you
Just a boy and girl
Trying to change a cold world
I don't expect that you'd understand
When you look at this empty land
But I, I can remember
Look around you now
The people still hanging on
And I, I can remember them
Be it night or day like lovers left holding on
See, it's me, I'm the one
Believe in me, I've just begun
We'll be here when the lights come on
When it all comes down to
Me and you
And I, I can remember
Look around you now
The people still hanging on
And I, I can remember them
Be it night or day like lovers left holding on
And I, I can remember
Look around you now
The people still hanging on
And on and on and on and on
Keep me holding on
Hold me close and understand
It's now that I need you
There's so much doubt when I'm alone
I'm wrapped in clothes of blue
And I need you to assure me
Always be near me
I'm thinking about the times to come
And already what we've done
It's only when I see you smile
You open up my world
Oh, I want you to laugh again
Join our hands and laugh again
Lead ourselves through time
And I need you to assure me
Always be near me
"Non, je suis en retard (No, I'm late)
Il faut que je sois à 9h10 à la télé (I have to be on TV by 9.10)"
(Note : those two lines are not in the transcript)
A perfect face comes calling
A perfect hand reaches out
Her perfect face in the morning
December girl feels the same
She needs to find the pace
'Cause she never looked so good when she was down
* She's blonde on white, white on blonde
Her perfections are now gone, reflections everywhere
If you gaze for too long it will fade and then it's gone
Refelections everywhere
Imagine naked legs calling
Walking barefoot in the rain
Imagine freezing cold weather
December girl feels the same
She needs to find the pace
'Cause she never looked so good when she was down
(*Repeat)
A perfect face comes calling
A perfect hand reaches out
She needs to find the pace
'Cause she never looked so good when she was down
You pushed away your rocking chair
Your seven years of living
Choose to think it over, you could try
You held beauty on your knee
You felt you were so giving
You made one feel special, then goodbye
Now tell me where did you go?
A long way from me
Was it someone I know?
Search your soul
A long way from me
'Cos I need to know, how far you'd go
Where did you sleep?
Tell me who's gonna show
It's so in you're nature
To keep your face well hidden
Make a fox feel proud, you're so sly
Cannot play this game
My heart's tired, are we sinking?
You made me once feel special, say goodbye
Now tell me where did you go?
A long way from me
Was it someone I know?
Search your soul
A long way from me
'Cos I need to know, how far you'd go
Where did you sleep?
Tell me who's gonna show
So push away you're rocking chair
That seven years of giving
No time to think it over, so don't try
Now tell me where did you go?
A long way from me
Was it someone I know?
Search your soul
A long way from me
'Cos I need to know, how far you'd go
Where did you sleep?
Tell me who's gonna show
Now tell me where did you go?
A long way from me
Was it someone I know?
Search your soul
A long way from me
'Cos I need to know, how far you'd go
Where did you sleep?
Tell me who's gonna show
Where did you sleep last night?
I find you're on my back again
Cause your husband's weighing you down
And you say you find it hard to cope
Feel like leaving and not going home
Sister, I thought you were stronger than me
But I guess you've lost the way
And I see your confusion oh, so clear
Yet you love him more each day
I want you to find a reason
To walk the dust
I want you to find a reason
To walk the dust
Nothing has changed, you're still the same
Are you willing to walk the dust
I guess that it's too soon to tell
But I wish that you'd wake up
cause somehow you still believe in him
And you give him all your love
Seven months already gone
Do you feel you've let yourself down
And all I can do is sit and watch
Watch him change your mind
I want you to find a reason
To walk the dust
I want you to find a reason
To walk the dust
Nothing has changed, you're still the same
Are you willing to walk the dust
Take my hand there's still time
Take my hand there's still time
My head is filled with words to say
But I only find them slip away
I know it's hard to let it go
Take my hand
Take my hand there's still time
Sister take my hand there's still time
I know it's hard to let it go
I see your hands they're on me
Just when you say hello
You see your words they drown me
Then there's a warmth below
My body and soul are feeling fine
And my body and soul, just killing time
When you ring my number, you ring my head
All the time for telephone sex
See my life just falling with you
I feel this rhythm draw me
But will I get my way
Your body slides beneath me
"Keep talking" I'll say
My body and soul are feeling fine
And my body and soul, just killing time
When you ring my number, you ring my head
All the time for telephone sex
See my life just falling with you
When you ring my number, you ring my head
All the time for telephone sex
See my life just falling with you
Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah
Falling with you
Falling with you
......
Well I wanted to know this love's forever
Wanted to feel this free together
Wanted to sleep, just dream whenever
Falling with you
When you ring my number, you ring my head
All the time for telephone sex
See my life just falling with you
When you ring my number, you ring my head
All the time for telephone sex
See my life just falling with you
See my life just falling with you
See my life just falling with you
I'm tired of telling the story
Tired of telling it your way
Yeh I know what I saw
I know that I found the floor
Before you take my heart, reconsider
Before you take my heart, reconsider
I've opened the door
I've opened the door
Here comes the summer's son
He burns my skin
I ache again
I'm over you
I thought I had a dream to hold
Maybe that has gone
Your hands reach out and touch me still
But this feels so wrong
Before you take my heart, reconsider
Before you take my heart, reconsider
I've opened the door
I've opened the door
Here comes the summer's son
He burns my skin
I ache again
I'm over you
Before you take my heart, reconsider
Before you take my heart, reconsider
I've opened the door
I've opened the door
Here comes the summer's son
He burns my skin
I ache again
I'm over you
Here comes the winter's rain
To cleanse my skin
I wake again
I'm over you
Here comes the summer's son
He burns my skin
I ache again
I'm over you
Here comes the winter's rain
To cleanse my skin
I wake again
I'm over you
I'm taking my time
I'll fix it, don't worry now
I'm needing you there
Make sure that you're coming too
All of my life
Is all I'll give you here
The meaning of me
Is something to pursue
You think I'm a saint
It's in your pretty head
Stretched out like a saint now
I love you to death
Catch another dream now
We can find them somehow
I know that there's a boy inside the man
Catch another dream now
Take all we are allowed
For I know that there's a man inside the boy
Grown ups don't know
How to dream anymore
Their heads in the sand
And they choose to ignore it all
All of my life
Is all I'll give you here
The meaning of me
Is something to pursue
You think I'm a saint
It's in your pretty head
Stretched out like a saint now
I love you to death
Catch another dream now
We can find them somehow
I know that there's a boy inside the man
Catch another dream now
Take all we are allowed
For I know that there's a man inside the boy
You think I'm a saint
It's in your pretty head
Stretched out like a saint now
I love you to death
Catch another dream now
We can find them somehow
I know that there's a boy inside the man
Catch another dream now
Take all we are allowed
For I know that there's a man inside the boy
Catch another dream now
We can find them somehow
I know that there's a boy inside the man
Catch another dream now
Take all we are allowed
For I know that there's a man inside the boy
A man inside the boy
You think I'm a saint
Why did I give you my soul
When I knew there'd be nothing in return
You forgot what it's like
Now there's noweher left to run
Maybe, maybe you can hear it in the words I say
Cause I don't like what I see
And I've been living with it everyday
So make it now
Or turn around and change your ways
Don't take me
Don't take me down that lonesome road again
Cause I don't think no, no
I don't hink that I could take the strain
Yeah, I'm breathing out
But I surely won't be giving in
Yeah, yeah
Are you ready maybe are you willing to run
Are you ready to let yourself drown
Are you holding your breath
Are you ready or not
Are you ready maybe do you long to confess
Do you feel that you're already numb
Are you sure of yourself
Would you lie if you're not
You tire me out don't want to let that happen
A secret scream so loud why did you let that happen
* So put your arms around me
You let me believe that you were someone else
Cause only time can take you
So let me believe that I am someone else
Maybe are you ready to break
Do you think that I push you too far
Would you open yourself
Are you reckless or not
You tire me out don't want to let that happen
A secret scream so loud why did you let that happen
(* Repeat)
So put your arms around me
So put your arms around me
Make me believe
Take me, take me somewhere, somewhere
Let me believe
All I see is the truth now
That's all I want you to know
That I'll never turn my back on you
And leave you out there on your own
I could never hide my feelings
I could never let you fall
And I want you to remember
All the love that I've found
Oh, I say a prayer
A prayer for you
Oh, for you
I could never make a promise
I'd only break it in the end
Then you're looking for the answers
You'd never trust in me again
I could never watch you suffer
I could never let you down
And I hope you soon discover
All the truth that I've now found
Oh, I say a prayer
A prayer for you
Oh, for you
Oh, I say a prayer
A prayer for you
Listen
Be what you wanna be
Do what you wanna do
It's your life
It's your life, it's your world
Well this is Texas alongside Suncycle
Dynamite, Yeah
ooooohh
ooooohh
You're fine
It's only in your own small head
There's nothing you can lose or share
So listen
You should know how it is to be alone
You're going nowhere at last
Yes you know that this time
You must take what you find
And I'll be who I want
'Cos this is a place in my world, flashing lights
Yeah tonight is my night
And I'll be who I want
You walked into a place in my world
What do you have?
I wanna know
What do you know?
You're so late
Acting like you know it all
Laughing when I took the fall
So listen
I know you lie
Everyone around you
You're the storm that brings them home
Yes you know that this time
You must take what you find
And I'll be who I want
'Cos this is a place in my world, flashing lights
Yeah tonight is my night
And I'll be who I want
You walked into a place in my world
What do you have?
What do you know?
Tell me
What do you have?
Yeah, I wanna know
What do you know?
Yeah - tell me
Yes you know that this time
You must take what you find
And I'll be who I want
'Cos this is a place in my world, flashing lights
Yeah tonight is my night
And I'll be who I want
You walked into a place in my world
What do you have?
Well this is Texas alongside Suncycle
What do you know?
That I'm right - yeah
What do you have?
Listen
What do you know?
What do you have?
What do you know?
What do you have?
There's only one reason left for me to stay
But you won't like the reason why
Tried so many times to get through the two of you
But you don't even want to try
Times are hard and people need all they have got
Look around and see what's left today
Ain't so easy making it on your own
What more do I need to say
There's only one choice to be made
And I can't help it
If you take the wrong way
Never knew a good thing
Till it moved away
Now it's too late to turn it back
You'd buy the world if it would make me stay
Listen now to what I have to say
There's only one choice to be made
And I can't help it
If you take the wrong way
There's only one choice to be made
And I can't help it
If you take the wrong way
Sitting here thinking
But nothing seems to change
And I can't stand it anymore
There's always someone trying to pull you down
Do you really want this constant war
There's only one choice to be made
And I can't help it
If you take the wrong way
There's only one choice to be made
And I can't help it
No, nevermind
'Cause you're home now
Yeah, you're home
Time never hides
We're alone now
Leave it all behind
Wherever I go I know, I'll tell you
It's just another place, we can go to
So get on board
You gave it all, don't take it back
Been up all night, just talking
The day is dawning
It's early morning
So, catch your breath
It's so clear now
'Cause you're here now
Wherever I go I know, I'll tell you
It's just another place, we can go to
So get on board
You gave it all, don't take it back
Been up all night, just talking
The day is dawning
It's early morning
You gave it all, don't take it back
Been up all night, just talking
The day is dawning
It's early morning
The day is dawning
It's early morning
No, nevermind
'Cause you're home now
The day is dawning
Oh, can you heal me
Child I know you heal me
Embrace the wind
Hang your head no more
I feel like I'm falling
Like never before
Now open the sky
And let me in
Cause I want to feel
Feel the rain on my my skin
I want a heaven
A heaven of our own
All I want is a heaven
There is where we'll be alone
I held you to me
And felt my eyes grow dim
Took your hand
And felt the warmth from within
Unchain the storm
Then lose the way
Now paint the dark
A dew of silver grey
I want a heaven
A heaven of our own
All I want is a heaven
There is where we'll be alone
Heaven, oh
All I want is a heaven
There is where we'll be alone
Can you heal me
Child I know you heal me
Reach and take the knife from the water now
Can you heal me
Child I know you heal me
Reach and tuch what I'm feeling
If you want to see my sunrise
Well, I don't mind
Your lips so full like life itself
Been in love for a while
You know that I just want to see you
Yeah, I have for a time
And it's balancing there upon my head
Just like last night on a bottle of wine
Hey you
Do you feel alright?
Hey you
Come on, come on, come on
Come on back to me
You want to spend the night together
Pull your body close
So masterthief embrace my heart
Now you decided to show
Come discover what you can't find
There's no need to think
And it hits you there at the back of your head
Just like last night when you started to drink
Hey you
Do you feel alright?
Hey you
Come on, come on, come on
Come on back to me
And time is all I have to give
You can have it if you choose
Time is all I have to give

From nothing and came back at noon
Just maybe, I'm ready
To show myself to you
So if I lose my patience
You must try to understand
So if I lose my patience
Oh yeah
Cos you make me feel

You touch my inner smile
You got me in the mood
When we were together I was blown away
Just like paper from a fan
But you would act like I was just a kid
Like we were never gonna' last
But now I've got someone who cares for me
(Yeah)
Wrote my name in silver sands
I think you know you've lost the love of your life
(You said)
I was the best you've ever had
Because I'm in demand
(Hey)
You're thinking of the way you should've of held my
(Hand)
And all the times you'd say you didn't understand
You never had our love written in your
(Plans)
But now I'm in demand
I never think you saw the best of me
There's a side you'll never know
'Cause love and loving are two different things
Set your sights far too low
But now I've got someone who cares for me
(Yeah)
He wrote my name in silver sands
I think you know you've lost the love of your life
(You said)
I was the best you've ever had
Because I'm in demand
(Hey)
You're thinking of the way you should've held my
(Hand)
And all the times you'd say you didn't undersatand
You never had our love written in your plans
But now I'm in demand
You're thinking of the way you've should've of held my
(Hand)
And all the times you'd say you didn't understand
You never had our love written in your
(Plans)
But now I'm in demand
It's only when I fall asleep
I see that winning smile
When my dreams just move along
You've lost the race by miles
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Stay, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Because I'm in demand
You're thinking of the way you should've of held my
(Hand)
And all the times you'd say you didn't understand

(Plans)
But now I'm in demand
(Yeah)
You know I'm in demand
(Say you're in demand)
You know I'm in demand
(Yeah)
Always in demand
(Yeah)
Never had our love written in your plans
I don't want a lover
I just need a friend
I don't want a lover
I just need a friend
You can just leave me
To face life on my own
I know you don't love me no more
I knew this day it would come
Even when it cuts so deep
It's true I still want you
But the harder I try
The more I seem to lose
I don't want a lover
I just need a friend
I've had time to recover
Now that I know it wasn't love
It's always a different story
When it's me who's in the wrong
But you can't have it all
Cause I'm the one who's strong
I've already been burnt before
Once but never again
I know the time will come
That's when you'll need me then
I don't want a lover
I just need a friend
I've had time to recover
Now that I know it wasn't love
I don't want a lover
I just need a prayer
I know you never cared
Now that I know it wasn't love
You don't even care
About what I'm saying
You don't even think
What you're doing
All you see is what you want it to be
But in there there's just no room for me
I don't want a lover
I just need a friend
I've had time to recover
Now that I know it wasn't love
You don't even care
About what I'm saying
You don't even think
What you're doing
All you see is what you want it to be
There's just no room in there for me
I don't want a lover
I just need a friend
I've had time to recover
Now that I know it wasn't love
I don't want a lover
I just need a prayer
I know you never cared
I feel bad and beautiful
In all the strangest places
You feel good, you're sweetest
The weather's changing as I look at your face
Falling, fall to the floor
Falling, you know we can
Haven't had a dream in such a long time now
It's raining here and all the leaves are on the ground
But I'm safe and warm, outside it's cold and gray
That's my guitar and I will play for you all day
So many songs in my mind
Maybe less 'cause I've drunk so much wine
There's light in your eyes
But out the window it's gone dark outside
Falling, fall to the floor
Falling, you know we can
Haven't had a dream in such a long time now
It's raining here and all the leaves are on the ground
But I'm safe and warm, outside it's cold and gray
That's my guitar and I will play for you all day
Haven't had a dream in such a long time now
It's raining here and all the leaves are on the ground
But I'm safe and warm, outside it's cold and gray
That's my guitar and I will play for you all day
It'll be alright
If you stay tonight
Haven't had a dream in such a long time now
It's raining here and all the leaves are on the ground
But I'm safe and warm, outside it's cold and gray
That's my guitar and I will play for you all day
Haven't had a dream in such a long time now
(It'll be alright)
It's raining here and all the leaves are on the ground
(It'll be alright)
But I'm safe and warm, outside it's cold and gray
(It'll be alright)
That's my guitar and I will play for you all day
(It'll be alright)
That's my guitar and I will play for you all day
(It'll be alright)
That's my guitar and I will play for you all day
(It'll be alright)
Open the window I need some air
So many people and there's such disorder here
Familiar faces found out lies
And to distract I watch the passers by
I wonder what they'd recognize
And what they'd recommend to fill my days
Possessions start to wear me down
I need some good advice some good advice to wear me crown
I'm nervous can you help me
Inside they harbour secret thoughts
They peek through windows that have twice been locked
I have to walk to wear me out
I need some good advice some good advice to wear me crown
I'm nervous can you help me
I fold my arms and pray to leave
I've got a headful of ideas inside of me
My lips pressed tight so as not to drown
I need some good advice some good advice to wear me crown
I'm nervous can you help me
Take me down
Pull up beside me and lay me on the ground
We could lie
Come slip inside me, we'll watch her pass us by
No need to take it slow
Now you've been down below
What's going on, I wonder?
I know you made your day
I know you want to play
'Cause I can taste your hunger
Yeah, getting down tonight
Let's take it farther, well, let's move on outside
Yeah, getting down tonight
I want no other, you know that this feels so right
Upside down
We're breathing deeply, oh God, I love that sound
Don't be shy
Let's move together until we're satisfied
No need to take it slow
Now you've been down below
What's going on, I wonder?
I know you made your day
I know you want to play
'Cause I can taste your hunger
Yeah, getting down tonight
Let's take it farther, well, let's move on outside
Yeah, getting down tonight
I want no other, you know that this feels so right
Yeah, getting down tonight
Let's take it farther, well, let's move on outside
Yeah, getting down tonight
I want no other, you know that this feels so right
Don't say that you love me
Don't say that you care
Don't go dreaming of me
It's only an affair
I know I really must confess
(Don't say that you love me)
It seems the same, it seems the same, it's all the same to me
(Don't say that you love me)
I know I really must confess
(Don't say that you love me)
I love your game, I love your game, I love your game and ooh
(It's only an affair)
I want no other, you know this feels so right
Yeah, getting down tonight
Let's take it farther, well, let's move on outside
Yeah, getting down tonight
I want no other, you know that this feels so right
Yeah, getting down tonight
Let's take it farther, well, let's move on outside
Yeah, getting down tonight
I want no other, you know that this feels so right
Yeah, getting down tonight
Let's take it farther, well, let's move on outside
Yeah, getting down tonight
You only see me when I laugh, never hear me when I cry
And I'm tired of fearing these days
I'm sitting here on my own, talking to myself alone
And I'm tired of fearing these days
All I needed was an, an explanation
Why you treat me so mean
You always play the part with no, no hesitation
That's the other side I've seen
Please don't fail me, don't fail me
Please don't let me fall
Please don't fail me, don't fail me
Please don't let me fall
If all my nightmares come today, will you hide them far away?
'Cause I'm tired of fearing these days
It'll wash away the past and pain, let me start from new again
'Cause I'm tried of fearing these days
You always hit me when there, there is no reason
To feel superior to me
When all I wanted is a confrontation
So I could find a release
Please don't fail me, don't fail me
Please don't let me fall
Please don't fail me, don't fail me
Please don't let me fall
Please don't fail me, don't fail me
Please don't let me fall
Please don't fail me, don't fail me
Please don't let me fall
Please don't fail me, don't fail me
Please don't let me fall
Please don't fail me, don't fail me
Please don't let me fall
Please don't fail me, don't fail me
Believe in
In what I'm sayin'
It's so much harder
When it's you, who is listenin'
When I see suspicion in your eyes
You know it hurts me
It turns my head around
No words could explain
You've got to have faith in me
You've nothing left to lose
You've got to have faith in me
You've nothing left to lose
I'm gonna prove myself true to you, somehow
Have faith
(Have faith)
Deceiving
Deceiving only you
Why should I care
When it means nothing to you?
When I see life coming closer
I turn and pray
Was it all in vain
Will my world change
You've got to have faith in me
You've nothing left to lose
You've got to have faith in me
You've nothing left to lose
I'm gonna prove myself true to you, somehow
Have faith
(Have faith)
Ohh, pleasing you has proven to be
To be my weakest link, yeah
But if I change no place is safe
Safe from a piece of mind
You've got to have faith in me
You've nothing left to lose
Please have faith in me
You've nothing left to lose
You've got to have faith in me
Please
I'm gonna prove myself true to you, somehow
Have faith
(Have faith)
You've got to have faith in me
Please
You've got to have faith in me
You've nothing left to lose
With every little smile do you know me better?
You know I'm never what I seem
'Cause I don't worry about the future
My days, they pass just like a dream
Are you scared of what you're seeing?
Does it make me seem so cruel?
And now I'll ask you if I hurt you
That's just something that I do
If you don't listen to me
You'll stay the same
You're just gonna fade away
Fade away
If you don't listen to me
You'll stay the same
You're just gonna fade away
Fade away
Listen, hear the secret in my voice
Are you so gone that you can't hear?
Scared, I've forgot you for no reason
Maybe that's what you can't bear
Give me more than words and gestures
And give me something I can keep
That's how you get to love forever
That's why you've gotta try and see
If you don't listen to me
You'll stay the same
You're just gonna fade away
Fade away
If you don't listen to me
You'll stay the same
You're just gonna fade away
Fade away
Fade away
Fade away
Fade away
If you don't listen to me
You'll stay the same
If you don't listen to me
You'll stay the same
If you don't listen to me
You'll stay the same
I just woke up and I can see it now
It's never been this close before
Tried to tell myself I didn't care
Crying out why am I here
There's no point in me hiding
And only now I can see
Everyday now
Everyday now
The blame's gonna fall on me
Something deep inside said move away
Try to leave what's good behind
And I still ask myself
Why I let it go
All these years were wasted time
There's no point in me hiding
And only now I can see
Everyday now
Everyday now
The blame's gonna fall on me
Everyday now
Everyday now
The blame's gonna fall on me
Cause I never told you
That I could never live without it
Now the blame's on me
Cause I never told you
That I could never live without it
Now the blame's on me
Everyday now
Everyday now
The blame's gonna fall on me
Everyday now
Everyday now
The blame's gonna fall on me
Everyday now
Everyday now
The blame's gonna fall on me
Cause I never knew the feeling
And it changed me and I never knew
Cause I never knew the feeling
It's like he's sleeping now
He got married in a rush
8 months on and summer's gone
He finds it hard to adjust
He's feeling younger now
Younger than he was before he wishes he had changed his mind
Old mistakes they seem so small
And if he had to be you
Then he'd get out and do the things he's always wanted
* Standing outside like a joker on a hill
He's drawing crazy patterns with his shoes
Some people push by
And everyone is cursing them
But he doesn't raise his hand
He broke his dreams and lost a friend
He's asking questions now
Caught in his confusion
He shakes his head and looks at me
Then he shouts out loud
If you had to be me
Would you get out and do the things you always wanted
(* Repeat)
It's like he's sleeping now
When your'e gazing at the floor
And on this late night
It's getting harder now, harder now
One day I'll have to face the truth
I will
I know I'll find it hard to wake up
And say these words to you
So did the days drag on for you
Was I gone for too long
There's something changing in me
I've got to show it
Got to show you
Cause day after day without you
I find that there's no one to turn to
All this madness that I've found
I'm so thankful when you're around
It's true, yes I do
In every place I'll face a world
Of strangers
We'll talk and laugh about the good times
We had together
So did the days drag on for you
Was I gone for too long
There's something changing in me
I've got to show it
Got to show you
Cause day after day without you
I find that there's no one to turn to
All this madness that I've found
I'm so thankful when you're around
Cause day after day without you
I find that there's no one to turn to
All this madness that I've found
I'm so thankful when you're around
It's true, yes I do
There are times when I see you
There are times when I'm mad
When I wake you disappear
That's what I always find so hard
Cause day after day without you
I find that there's no one to turn to
All this madness that I've found
I'm so thankful when you're around
Cause day after day without you
I find that there's no one to turn to
All this madness that I've found
I'm so thankful when you're around
It's true, yes I do
You thought it was easy
To find what you need
If you'd only believe me
You'd find, you'd be free
You're always trying to hide
Your secrets and your lies
You gotta let me know
Is it goodbye or hello?
You said you'd write your name
In the skies, so do it
You knew you'd never make it that high
You blew it all, you had to have it all
Oh, instead you wrote your name
In the sand, you knew it
You could've had the world in your hands
You blew it all, you had to have it all
It's not the way you look, it's not the way you smile
It's not the way you stood there even in denial
It's not what you've become
And I'm not so sure you'd agree
You're always trying to hide
Your secrets and your lies
You gotta let me know
Is it goodbye or hello?
You said you'd write your name
In the skies, so do it
You knew you'd never make it that high
You blew it all, you had to have it all
Oh, instead you wrote your name
In the sand, you knew it
You could've had the world in your hands
You blew it all, you had to have it all
Save your love
Come on and save your love
Yeah, you know that we'll be fine
If we just take our time and save our love
You said you'd write your name
In the skies, so do it
You knew you'd never make it that high
You blew it all, you had to have it all
Oh, instead you wrote your name
In the sand, you knew it
You could've had the world in your hands
You blew it all, you had to have it all
See me in the morning light
A photograph of pure delight
Yeah but I left too soon
I don't see you girl
There were some good times we had
And there were some that weren't so bad

Blink up and dream a living, with the notion to
I'll give you the sun, the stars and the blue sky too
I know I can't resist
I believe that you told me
A promise laced with lies
Such a tease as you hold me
There's hunger in your eyes
That's the way that I remember you
When the sun was high and the nights were cool
It seems that lately, I just dream of days
In the silver skies that I can't erase
I know I can't resist
I never wanna fall asleep
I only wanna dive in deep
And I?ve tried and I?ve tried
I've tried to walk away
I am scared of what I missed
But don't you know this tastes so sweet?
I only wanna dive in deep
And I?ve tried and I?ve tried
I've tried to walk away
That's the way I remember
The summer sun was high
To the cold of November
I'm still in silver skies
That's the way that I remember you
When the sun was high and the nights were cool
It seems that lately, I just dream of days
In the silver skies that I can't erase
I know I can't resist
I never wanna fall asleep
I only wanna dive in deep
And I?ve tried and I?ve tried
I've tried to walk away
I am scared of what I missed
But don't you know this tastes so sweet?
I only wanna dive in deep
And I?ve tried and I?ve tried
I've tried to walk away
I'm falling for your sentimental charms again
I'm finding it so hard to break it
But everytime the pleasure turns into pain
I'm more inclined to stand and take it
This is the way I remember you
The sun was high and the night was oh so cool
It's how I remember you
I know I can't resist
I never wanna fall asleep
I only wanna dive in deep
And I?ve tried and I?ve tried
I've tried to walk away
I am scared of what I missed
But don't you know this tastes so sweet?
I only wanna dive in deep
And I?ve tried and I?ve tried
I've tried to walk away
I know I can't resist
I know I can't resist
No I don't lack ambition can't you see what I hate?
That it's you who is sinking locked behind iron gates
You should know you're falling into fiction
I can tell you're on some foolish mission
And you're black eyed soul you should know
That there's nowhere else to go
My black eyed boy you will find
Your own space and time
You call me superstitious tie me up with your deceit
I could never be malicious though I seem so bittersweet
You should know you're falling into fiction
I can tell you're on some foolish mission
You're black eyed soul you should know
That there's nowhere else to go
My black eyed boy you will find
Your own space and time
Black eyed soul you should know
That there's nowhere else to go
My black eyed boy you will find
Your own space and time
Yeah, you should know you're falling into fiction
I can tell you're on some foolish mission
You're black eyed soul you should know
That there's nowhere else to go
My black eyed boy you will find
Your own space and time
Black eyed soul you should know
That there's nowhere else to go
My black eyed boy you will find
Your own space and time
Black eyed soul you should know
That there's nowhere else to go
My black eyed boy you will find
I watch you gather 'round and pray
It's something I can't feel
I hear you chant every other day
I think it's not quite real
Covered up so close
So as not to see
Are you happy, are you happy this way
Stop and look around the world
So may different ways to see ourselves
Is it right or wrong
To put your beliefs on me
To put your beliefs on me
I don't want to live that way
A distance that is more than miles
Such a long, long way
It's fine for men to be westernised
Will a woman ever see that day
Maybe, maybe it's not for me to understand
Do you think, do you think
Do you think it's better that way
To put your beliefs on me
To put your beliefs on me
I don't want to live that way
To put your beliefs on me
To put your beliefs on me
I don't want to live that way
Stop and look around the world
So may different ways to see ourselves
Is it right or wrong
To put your beliefs on me
To put your beliefs on me
I don't want to live that way
To put your beliefs on me
To put your beliefs on me
Lovers come and lovers go
Nothing lingers on
It's more fun to take it slow
Then it goes on and on
I need to explain, you can't stand me
I've always done it for myself
I do it again, you can't explore me
You've been so good for my health
I know we can walk through rain
But I don't wanna end up drowned again
It's too much dancing in bad weather
Makes it hard to stay together
Tell me where you wanna be
I'm losing who we are
That little place that we both need
It sometimes seems so far
I need to explain, you can't stand me
I've always done it for myself
I do it again, you can't explore me
You've been so good for my health
I know we can walk through rain
But I don't wanna end up drowned again
It's too much dancing in bad weather
Makes it hard to stay together
I know we can walk through rain
But I don't wanna end up drowned again
It's too much dancing in bad weather
Makes it hard to stay together
Wait a minute, baby
I'll be here for a while
Just wait a minute, baby
You know I love your style
I know we can walk through rain
But I don't wanna end up drowned again
It's too much dancing in bad weather
Makes it hard to stay together
I know we can walk through rain
But I don't wanna end up drowned again
It's too much dancing in bad weather
Makes it hard to stay together
I know we can walk through rain
But I don't wanna end up drowned again
It's too much dancing in bad weather
What seems like such a winter's tale
Lightening runs through the fallen flames
By kneeling down we're here to pray
At that point forsaken unafraid
I only wanna feel you being strong
I only wanna feel you being strong
Call me up and let's begin
Call me up and let's begin
Another day
Call me up and let's begin
Call me up and let's begin
You done that to me
Feel my breath go cold and calm
My pride is last and I sin again
And all the seasons change their scent
A year of hell they come against my head once more
I only wanna feel you being strong
I only wanna feel you being strong
Call me up and let's begin
Call me up and let's begin
Another day
Call me up and let's begin
Call me up and let's begin
You done that to me
Call me up and let's begin
Call me up and let's begin
Another day
Call me up and let's begin
Call me up and let's begin
You done that to me
Call me up and let's begin
Call me up and let's begin
Another day
Call me up and let's begin
Call me up and let's begin
You done that to me
Call me up and let's begin
Call me up and let's begin
Another day
Call me up and let's begin
Call me up and let's begin
When I'm lost
You take my hand and make me burn
All of the time
Turn my life around
I feel lost, take my life and make me shine
You feel life, life won't let you down
With the love we take
Have I ever let you down?
Travel round and see the world
Is there something I should find?
And I dream
Nothing I can find
And I dream
Nothing I can find
So to life
Let me whisper in your ear
Say the words
I'm what you long to hear
And a place we can go to is in my mind
I love life, there's no way you can be mine
With the love we take
Have I ever let you down?
Travel round and see the world
Is there something I should find?
And I dream
Nothing I can find
And I dream
Nothing I can find
You buy a diamond for my throne
Then comes a penthouse, on a hill
but my need to dream will still go on and on
All of the time
All of the time
All of the time
And I dream
Nothing I can find
And I dream
Nothing I can find
You buy a diamond for my throne
Then comes a penthouse, on a hill
but my need to dream will still go on and on
You buy a diamond for my throne
Then comes a penthouse, on a hill
but my need to dream will still go on and on
You buy a diamond for my throne
The comes a penthouse, on a hill
The night
Relieves the day
When the night
Relieves the day
You fill my days with laughter
You take away the strain
There's a smile I'd forgotten
But you've put it there again
No, I don't wanna lose you
Never wanna see you cry
I don't wanna lose you child
I'll never say goodbye
All I need is to be with you
Somewhere, somewhere we call home
Now you said that I hurt you
And left you far behind
But you knw I'd come running
I just hope that I'm in time
No, I don't wanna lose you
Never wanna see you cry
I don't wanna lose you child
I'll never say goodbye
All I need is to be with you
Somewhere, somewhere we call home
No, I don't wanna lose you
Never wanna see you cry
I don't wanna lose you child
I'll never say goodbye
All I need is to be with you
Look at me,
I'm as helpless as a kitten up a tree
And I feel like I'm clinging to the clouds
I can't understand,
I get misty just holding your hand
Walk my way,
And a thousand violins begin to play
And the sound of your hello
That music I hear,
I get misty the moment you're near
You could say that you're leading me on
But it's just what I want you to do
Don't you notice how, how hopelessly I'm lost
That's why I'm following you
On my way,
Would I wander through this wonderland alone
Not knowing my right foot from my left
My hat from my glove
I get misty, and too much in love
On my own
Would I wander through this wonderland alone
Not knowing my right foot from my left
My hat from my glove
I get misty, and too much in love
I get misty,oh so misty,
And too much in love
Oh so misty
Funny how I'm on myself with you
Than I ever knew
If I see that it's eleven I'll say it's seven
To spend more time with you
So here you know what I'm saying
To you this evening, think it through
You thought I was your best friend
There to your defense, I reach for someone new
Hold on, hold on, hold on to what we have
Yesterday is gone and the night is long
We'll hold on to what we have
Even though I've been with someone else
I'm so happy when I'm with you
And here we are again on some lost weekend
Yeah we are one or two
So here you know what I'm saying
To you this evening, think it through
You thought I was your best friend
There to your defense, I know that I had you
Hold on, hold on, hold on to what we have
Yesterday is gone and the night is long
We'll hold on to what we have
Nothing leaves your mind but breaks your heart
But we both knew this from the start
I could mend your life or ease your pain
Hold on, hold on, hold on to what we have
Yesterday is gone and the night is long
We'll hold on to what we have
Hold on, hold on, hold on to what we have
Yesterday is gone and the night is long
We'll hold on to what we have
What goes on here in your mind
I think that I am falling down
What goes on here in your mind
I think that I am upside down
Lady be good and do what you should
you know it'll work alright
Lady be good and do what you should
you know it'll be alright
I'm going up and I'm going down
I'm gonna fly from side to side
See the bells up in the sky
somebody's cut the string in two
Lady be good and do what you should
you know it'll work alright
Lady be good and do what you should
you know it'll be alright
One minute one, one minute two
one minute up and one minute down
What goes on here in your mind
I think that I am falling down
Lady be good and do what you should
you know it'll work alright
Lady be good and do what you should
I just want a lover like any other
What do I get
I only want a friend who will stay to the end
What do I get
What do I get
Oh oh what do I get
What do I get
Oh oh what do I get
I'm in distress I need a caress
What do I get
I'm not on the make I just need a break
What do I get
What do I get
Oh oh what do I get
What do I get
Oh oh what do I get
I only get sleepless nights
Alone here in my half-empty bed
For all the things that turn out right
I wish they'd only happen to me instead
What do I get
Oh oh what do I get
What do I get
Oh oh what do I get
What do I get
No love
What do I get
No sleep at night
What do I get
Nothing that's nice
What do I get
Nothing at all
at all, at all, ...
What do I get
Oh oh what do I get
What do I get
Oh oh what do I get
What do I get
Oh oh what do I get
What do I get
It's your love
How does it feel
It's your love
How does it feel
(x2)
When we row I know the feelings
But I don't wanna know what's wrong or right
There's somewhere else I've got to see
But I don't even care what's wrong for me
I wanna know, I wanna try to find the reasons
You've got to follow what's good for you
But I don't wanna know what's wrong or right
It's your love
How does it feel
It's your love
How does it feel
(x2)
*intermezzo*
It's your love
How does it feel
It's your love
I knew I never call me down and silent
Someone like you, I know I can not hide
There was no pain that I can not explain
I swallowed down like I was supposed to
So tonight
I can never never
No I'd never never
So tonight
No I've never never
I can never never
So I'll say goodbye
So I'll say goodbye
So I'll say goodbye
So I'll say goodbye
I used to jump to find you with a smile
I know I saw the goal after a while
I know you're life is catching up with you
So swallow down like you were supposed to
So tonight
No I'd never never
I can never never
So tonight
I can never never
No I've never never
So I'll say goodbye
So I'll say goodbye
So I'll say goodbye
So I'll say goodbye
So tonight
I can never never
No I'd never never
So tonight
No I've never never
I can never never
So I'll say goodbye
So I'll say goodbye
Didn't you find in this small town
Climb the height, so divine
Yes we did
And now you're part of everything
That makes my days warm from within
Yes it is
So won't you please hurry home now
there is nothing more for me to say
So won't you please hurry home now
there is nothing more for me to say
You're forever, forever in my mind
You're forever, forever, forever in my mind
Something's tearing up your mind
It's in your eyes froze out of time
Yes it is
It's in the way you can't disguise
In order to make a women cry
Yes I have
So won't you please hurry home now
there is nothing more for me to say
Oh won't you please hurry home now
there is nothing more that I can say
Cause you're forever, forever in my mind
You're forever, forever, forever on my mind
Oh won't you please hurry home now
there is nothing more that I can say
So won't you please hurry home now
there is nothing more for me to say
But you're forever, forever on my mind
Yeah you're forever, forever, forever on my mind
Strange that I want you more than I need you
It's strange that I feel this way now
Well you live each day with nothing but freedom
You don't want to change
Are you scared that you'll please me
You should try to understand
Not giving in don't make a man
Strange that I want you more than I need you
It's strange that I feel this way now
I don't want to stay in one place forever
You've got a chance, we could leave here together
Now I know you understand that you grab life with both hands
Strange that I want you more than I need you
It's strange that I feel this way now
You still live each day with nothing but freedom
No you haven't changed, changed just to please me
And I know you understand not giving in don't make a man
Strange that I want you more than I need you
It's strange that I feel this way now
Strange that I love you more than I want to
It's strange that I feel this way now
I never thought there would be a time
When all you'd wanna do is fight
It's made me suffer lonely days
And I'm waitin for the evenings sun
To come along and calm me down
Can't you see that on my face
Without me you would be nowhere
All alone I've cared
You owe it all to me
Without me you would be nowhere
All alone I've cared
You owe it all to me
I know, it seems to you sometimes
When we're alone I tend to hide
Leave my feelings locked behind a door
As I watch the wind cut through the trees
I never wanted you to leave
I only wish I'd told you this before
Without me you would be nowhere
All alone I've cared
You owe it all to me
Without me you would be nowhere
All alone I've cared
You owe it all to me
What kinda life am I to lead
With this love you've given me
I thought you were a friend of mine
But everyday you're someone new
And that's the one I've got to lose
Why do you make it so hard to fight
Without me you would be nowhere
All alone I've cared
You owe it all to me
Without me you would be nowhere
All alone I've cared
Take it or leave it
I'll always be there
Take it or leave it
Grant me a reason
Always come asking
You'll never be mine
I'll ask how much
but you'll say I'll mind
You want to say
Do you understand
You wanna say
Take it or leave
You're all by the phone
Take it or leave it
How much do I care
I try to learn a lesson
Not very sure
You always ask me
How much did I hurt
You want to say
Do you understand
(William)
Since I've been gone
You've had your number changed, ooh yeah
But my love for you, girl
Still remains the same, mmm
Now, I've been loving you and
You've been loving me so long
Baby, what's wrong
So I'm begging
Baby, baby, baby
Please let me have your number, yeah
Baby, baby, baby
Please let me have your number, ooh
(Shar)
I'm sorry you couldn't call me when you were gone
Well I tried to call you, baby haah haah, baby
But other fellows kept on calling while you are gone, hmm yeah
So I had my number changed
But I'm not acting strange
Welcome home
Baby, nothing's wrong
So I'm saying
Baby, baby, baby
You can have my private number
Baby, baby, baby
I let you have my private number, oh
I walked along to the strand hotel
A bit confused to get overwhelmed
By waking up in a one night's bed
Except for someone just standing there
And now I get carried along
I hope they won't catch me
I swallow the pill
Say it is't so
Say you'll never leave me
Tell me everything's okay
You know I meet you half-way
Say it is't so
Say you'll never leave me
Tell me everything's okay
You know I meet you half-way
I can't believe I stayed out so long
It messed me up but I do get along
With everything I still feel love grown
I wouldn't have gone ??? if I had known
And now I get carried along
I hope they won't catch me
I swallow the pill
Say it is't so
Say you'll never leave me
Tell me everything's okay
You know I meet you half-way
Say it is't so
Say you'll never leave me
Tell me everything's okay
You know I meet you half-way
Say it is't so
Say you'll never leave me
Tell me everything's okay
You know I meet you half-way
Say it is't so
Say you'll never leave me
Tell me everything's okay
You know I meet you half-way
Say it is't so
Say you'll never leave me
Tell me everything's okay
You know I meet you half-way
Say it is't so
Say you'll never leave me
Tell me everything's okay

do i know if you are sleeping
cause you lie so still and warm
yeh the darness and the silence wrap around me
don't hear your cries that make me sleep so sound
maybe i've been missing you
oh maybe i've been missing you
for so long
if one day you said you were happy
i think your spell would be broken for good
sometimes i pray
if you are unkind to me
maybe i'll love you more for that
and maybe i've been missing you
oh maybe i've been missing you
for so long
and maybe i've been missing you
i've been missing you
What do you want from me?
Each time I turn the corner
I feel a little bit older
When, when you say to me
Maybe you can make it easy
Taking all your time to tease me
You lead me to the doorway
You're looking like you mean it
You're leaning to me sideways
But I can't take you serious
For that you want me to choose
Say I'll always love you forever, be true
I don't care what you say
I'm gonna love you my way
Don't wanna play these tired games
So if I'm gonna stay
What will you do to have me?
Let's lay it down, some guarantee
You lead me to the doorway
You're looking like you mean it
You're leaning to me sideways
But I can't take you serious
For that you want me to choose
Say I'll always love you forever, be true
For that you want me to choose
Can you see her in me
Lost of all emotions
Watch me dance in your face
Feels the longest sentence
Falling around her long black hair
The beggars and the thieves and all who dare
You know all that love her will despair
'Cause what they'll find there
Is hid from the light
Can you see her in me
Lost of all emotions
Watch me dance in your face
Feels the longest sentence
Falling around her long black hair
The beggars and the thieves and all who dare
You know all that love her will despair
'Cause what they'll find there
Is hid from the light
Is hid from the light
Is hid from the light
Is hid from the light
Is hid from the...
Falling around her long black hair
All the beggars and the thieves, let all who dare
You know all that love her will despair
'Cause what they'll find there
Is hid from the light
Is hid from the light
Is hid from the light
Is hid from the light
Fall into the night
Fall into the night
Fall into the night
Fall into the night
I can never get by without saying hello
And I will never pass you by
I'm never letting go with a simple goodbye
'Cause I will never let you go
And I will love you
And I will hold you
I know that you care when I walk on by
But then you're nervous yeah I know
I know that you care if I laugh or cry
Don't be nervous let it show
But I will love you
And I wanna touch you
I know that you care when I walk on by
But then you're nervous yeah I know
I know that you care if I laugh or cry
No don't be nervous let it show
But I will love you
And I will hold you
People don't care people stare
And people wonder why you're with me now
But then baby, then baby
People don't care if you walk on by
People don't care if they see you cry
They're lazy, they're lazy
But I will love you
And I will hold you
And I wanna touch you
Yeah I will love you
Met you on a Monday, never knew how far we'd go
Took your time to tell me someone else was long ago
The world keeps on turning, trying to find my feet
Searching for the rainbows, I'm just tryna make ends meet
Never tried to tell you how to make your life go smooth
Never tried a point of view, were only me and you
The world keeps on turning, trying to find my feet
Searching for the rainbows or I'm heading for the street
Times are changing every day
Times are changing
I find it hard with every breath I take
I wonder why we make mistakes
But I can't wait
But I can't wait
But I can't wait another day
Maybe it's the time for you to pack it up and go
Sick of hearing the same old song, you locked it in too low
The world keeps on turning, trying to find my feet
Searching for the rainbows, I'm just tryna make ends meet
Times are changing every day
Times are changing
I find it hard with every breath I take
I wonder why we make mistakes
There's just some things
That you can't change
And I can't wait another day
The world keeps on turning, trying to find my feet
Searching for the rainbows, I'm just tryna make ends meet
Keeps on turning
The world keeps on turning
Keeps on turning
It keeps on turning
It keeps on turning
Keep on turning
It keeps on turning
The world keeps on turning
It keeps on turning
It keeps on turning
It keeps on turning
Where do you go
When your tides get low
In the summer dress
Of your drunkenness
I go far from here
Where the silence sleeps
In the very deeps
Of the holy blue
And I dream of you
And I dream of you
Dream of you
Dream of you
What do you say
When the rotted day
Is around your feet
In the noisy street
And your eyes fall rain
From pain from pain
I say never again
Never again
Never again
Why do you wander
So light though falling
In the underwater calling
I skate like a bird
Drunk on a word
Almost in love
If I only knew
But the best will drive
Through me and you
Me and you
Me and you
Always my love
It has never been this way before
And all of the words that I hold
Let him come knock on my door
You don't know
Who to turn to
That I know
But you're always
You're always
You're always
Forever, my love
Try to be better than this
For never let the music
For so many lies and a kiss
So please don't let the music
You don't know
Who to turn to
Yes, I know
But you're always
You're always
You're always
Forever, my heart
Yes, you're always
You're always
You're always
Forever
You will always
Always
You'll always
I don't know what is
Still got my lipstick
On your skin
If this isn't love
Then I'm not strong enough
I don't know what is
Don't cry
Why are you so afraid?
Know I'm not trying to fake
What you mean to me
Know this
There's nothing in this world
Could take you away
Away from me
Then tell me what is
Am I a misfit
In your mind?
If this isn't love
I guess it's time to quit
I don't know what is
Don't cry
Why are you so afraid?
Know I'm not trying to fake
What you mean to me
Know this
There's nothing in this world
Could take you away
Stop...
These hearts are made to stray
I've seen it all before
And I'm worried 'bout you, I'm worried 'bout you
Why are you so afraid?
The wolves are at your door
Well I'm coming for you, I'm coming for you
I'll tell you something
Don't you worry about them
You don't ever have to fall
You don't ever have to fall in love
Don't tell me it's too late
I'm fighting for you babe
I know you want to fight for me to stay
Than cry your life away
When you can see it through
I'm coming for you, I'm coming for you
I'll tell you something
Don't you worry about them
You don't ever have to fall
You don't ever have to fall...
Stop...
These hearts are made to stray
I'm running for you babe
I'm coming for you, I'm coming for you
I'll tell you something
Don't you worry about them
You don't ever have to fall
Open yourself up and listen to what you're saying
It's no surprise to watch the game you're playing
Yea yea, watch yourself, you're slipping
Yea yea, you give it out, you're giving
It's hard to see what you have never known how
You're at the bottom so get back up and turn it out
Yea yea, I can see you falling
Yea yea, I know I hear you calling
Love
All that you talk about is love
L-O-V-E, love

I couldn't be
Always what you need
Maybe I didn't care
Which was hard and unfair
Maybe I didn't need to
Breathe in and reach you
Always, forever
Forever, together
All the time
Lately, all the time
Maybe I didn't help
Handed you everything to yourself
I could not leave you
For the hell you gave to me
I could not leave you
Nor could you have left me
Always forever
We'll take it together
You're half on your knees
And I'm on the floor
It's always forever
You've kept us together
And each time you leave
I need you here with me
Maybe I didn't mind
Maybe I didn't cry
A boy is born in hard time Mississippi
Surrounded by four walls that ain't so pretty
His parents give him love and affection
To keep him strong moving in the right direction
Living just enough, just enough for the city... yeeaaahh His father works some days for fourteen hours
You best believe he hardly makes a dollar
His mother goes to scrub the floor for many
And you can bet she hardly makes a penny

Living just enough, just enough for the city... yeeeaaah

To walk to school she has to get up early
Her clothes are old but never are they dirty
Living just enough, just enough for the city... yeeeaaah
Living just enough, just enough for the city... yeeeaaah Living for the city... yeeeaaah

Me and all my friends we've got nothing to prove, nothing to lose!
Me and all my friends we've got nothing to prove, nothing to lose!
You know us and what we achieved
From the streets of L.E.S. to your TV
Me and all my friends we've got nothing to prove, nothing to lose!
Me and all my friends we've got nothing to prove, nothing to lose!
Many have come, and many will go
But 20 years later who's still running the show
Hard times have come our way - We held it down kept the PMA!
With only one voice we have more to sat - still mentally vexed
TCOB!
Me and all my friends we've got nothing to prove, nothing to lose!
Me and all my friends we've got nothing to prove, nothing to lose!
She's got a smile that it seems to me
Reminds me of childhood memories
Where evrything
Was as fresh as the bright blue sky
Now and then when I see his face
It takes me away to that special place
And if I stared too long
I'd probably break down and cry
Ooooh Sweet child o' mine
Ooooh Sweet love of mine
She's got eyes of the bluest skies
As if they thought of rain
I hate to look into those eyes
And see an ounce of pain
His hair reminds me of a warm safe place
Where as a child I'd hide
And pray for the thunder
And the rain
To quietly pass me by
Ooooh Sweet child o' mine
Ooooh Sweet love of mine
Ooooh Sweet child o' mine
Ooooh Sweet love of mine
Ooooh Sweet child o' mine
Ooooh Sweet love of mine
Where do we go
Where do we go now
Where do we go
Where do we go now
Where do we go
Sweet Child
Where do we go now
What did I do now
What did I say that was so wrong?
I know the things that you can't feel no more
You've been hurting for too long
You're the one I want it for so let me see
You're the one I want it for so come one, breathe
I watch them try so hard to sound you out
You know you can turn the key
And I know you haven't realized yet
Just what you can be
You're the one I want it for so let me see
You're the one I want it for so come one, breathe
Let me be there, let me comfort you, cry for you
Just let me be there, I wanna breathe you on through
All your worries seem to stay with you for days and days
Oh, don't think if you turn way, you turn away that they will fade
No they won't
Yeah you're the one I want it for so let me see
You're the one I want it for so come one, breathe
You're the one I want it for, you're the one I want it for
You're the one I want it for so come one, breathe
He came home late from his work one day
Said he wanted some time alone
What about you, what about me, what about love?
I knew I couldn't take this love heartache
I knew I couldn't stand it alone
What about you, what about me, what about us?
Aah, I know I'm special inside
And how I gave you all of my life
And here we go
I've seen it before when I just needed more
Than your touch and here we go
You're not a million miles, you're not a million miles from me
He came home late from his work one day
Said he wanted some time alone
What about you, what about me, what about love?
He came home late and apparantly
He was someone else when he got home
What about you, what about me, what about us?
Aah, I know I'm special inside
And how I gave you all of my life
And here we go
I've seen it before when I just needed more
Than your touch and here we go
You're not a million miles, you're not a million miles from me
And here we go
I've seen it before when I just needed more
Than your touch and here we go
You're not a million miles, you're not a million miles from me
And here we go
I've seen it before when I just needed more
Than your touch and here we go
You're not a million miles, you're not a million miles from me
And here we go
I've seen it before when I just needed more
Than your touch and here we go
You're not a million miles, you're not a million miles from me
And here we go
When you grow up
Livin' like a good boy oughta
And your mama
Takes a shine to her best son
Something different
All the girls they seem to like you
Cause you're handsome
Like to talk and a whole lot of fun
But now your girl's gone a missin'
And your house has got an empty bed
The folks'll wonder 'bout the wedding
They won't listen to a word you said
[Chorus]
Gonna take your mama out all night
Yeah we'll show her what it's all about
We'll get her jacked up on some cheap champagne
We'll let the good times all roll out
And if the music ain't good, well it's just too bad
We're gonna sing along no matter what
Because the dancers don't mind at the New Orleans
If you tip 'em and they make a cut
Do it
Take your mama out all night
So she'll have no doubt
That we're doing oh the best we can
We're gonna do it
Take your mama out all night
You can stay up late
'cause baby you're a full grown man
It's a struggle
Livin' like a good boy oughta
In the summer
Watchin' all the girls pass by
When your mama
Heard the way that you'd been talking
I tried to tell you
That all she'd wanna do is cry
Now we end up takin' the long way home
Lookin' overdressed wearin' buckets of stale cologne
It's so hard to see streets on a country road
When your glasses in the garbage
And your Continental's just been towed
(Rose Tattoo)
It's hard when you stumble, it's harder when you fall
Yes it's hard when you stumble, it's harder when you fall
It's hard livin' with a broken heart, it's harder not to love at all
It's hard livin' with a broken heart, it's harder not to love at all
It's hard when you're humble, it's harder when you crawl
It's hard for me to be humble, it's harder when I gotta crawl
It's hard eatin' crow, it's harder not eatin' at all
It's hard eatin' crow, it's harder not eatin' at all
I'm goin' down to Texas where the long legged woman roam
I'm goin' down to Texas where the big breasted women grow
I'm gonna get some Texas pussy gonna rock away all night
Gonna roll, yeah some fine lookin' women there
It's hard when you stumble, it's harder when you fall
Yes it's hard when you stumble, it's harder when you fall
It's hard livin' with a broken heart, it's harder not to love at all
It's hard livin' with a broken heart, it's harder not to love at all
I got a heart as big as Texas but it's not made of stone it's not as
tough as the salt of the earth I'll tell you that, for what it's
worth... I didn't come here looking for you I didn't lie I said I didn't
come here alone I swear that all I loved was your empathy someone - at
last - to understand me! So understand me what I want from you if you
love me set me free, say - "I'm not in love with you" I've got a heart
as big as Texas but something that big gets its own way it's tearing me
in two directions I know my head - doesn't have a say! But I'm a
respected responsible citizen I lie down when I make my bed but unless
you block all roads in front of me this heart is gonna be the death of
There's a place not too far away from here
Out with the cows and the Lone Star beer
Where the livin' and lovin' is quite all right with me
Well they call it Texas and it's a mighty fine place to be
Runs from Texarkana to El Paso
And Oklahoma down to old Mexico
And there's Houston, Dallas, Austin and San Antone
People in Texas sure do make you feel at home
They just want everybody to leave them alone
While they drink their whiskey and roll their own
And they like their music with a little bit of southern sound
They kick up their heels every evening when the sun goes down
And you can call them country and they don't care
And if you don't like the way they wear their hair
You can take you likes and shove 'em on up the line
Yeehaw
Walking across this Texas desert with
the sun beating on his back
Carries a cross
these burning sands
without leaving a single track
Sing a song a six pack
and praise the lord for your salvation
Second coming up and running from the
federal government's intervention
Blood on the X of Texas
Blood on the X that Texas spilt
Blood on the X of Texas
Blood in the house that David built
Messiah on a six string sings a song
that's in demand
Lone gunman in the Lone Star State
hunts his fellow man
Deep in the heart of Texas the bullet
finds its mark
Deep in the heart of Texas his head
gets blown apart
Blood on the X of Texas like a cross hair
Y'll remember the Alamo but don't you forget about Waco
Blood on the X of Texas
Blood on the X that Texas spilt
Blood on the X of Texas
Blood in the house that David built
Blood on the X of Texas
Yeehaw

Like everyone I started out small
Not really knowing much at all
But I had my big dream
And I followed my well thought out scheme
Now when you come to meet me
I'm much bigger now you're gonna see
Everyday I meet new exes
As I waltz across Texas
I'm still following my same old dream
To keep playing my guitar and sing
Looks like what's gone to my head is
I'm big as Texas
I'm higher than those plains in Panhandle
I'm hotter than the deserts near Mexico
I'm way far out like El Paso
My hearts in Texas like there in Waco
Now when you come to meet me
I'm much bigger now you're gonna see
Everyday I meet new exes
As I waltz across Texas
I'm still following my same old dream
To keep playing my guitar and sing
Looks like what's gone to my head is
I'm ten thousand miles from you
My sky is black when yours is blue
You just steal my broken faith
And put it back together
You're cheating on the weather with me
I sing a song I wrote for you
A hundred melodies so blue
Will you be my stolen rain
That washed it all together
I love you like a fever gone cold
I'm singin' in my sleep
Driving across Texas with you
And you look so good
I'm singin' in my sleep
Driving across Texas with you
You look so good
I could stay another day with you
Stall winter's pain till June
Will it stay the same?
Will winter be in summer?
I'm already gettin' older with you
I'm singin' in my sleep
Driving across Texas with you
And you look so good
I'm singin' in my sleep
Driving across Texas with you
And you look so good
I'm singin' in my sleep
Singin' in my sleep
Driving, driving
I'm singin' in my sleep
Driving across Texas with you
And you look so good
Listen to my song,
And if you wanna sing along,
It's about where I belong:
Texas.
Sometimes far into the night,
And until the morning light,
I pray with all my might,
To be in Texas.
It's where I wanna be.
The only place for me.
Where my spirit can be free:
Texas.
[Instrumental break.]
It's where I wanna be.
The only place for me.
Where my spirit can be free:
Texas.
Listen to my song,
And if you wanna sing along,
It's about where I belong:
There's a place not too far away from here

People in Texas don't care if the sund don't shine
This is Texas
This is redneck
This is lone star
This is wetback
I am Texas
I am Texas
I am Texas
I am Texas
This is Texas
This is badass
This is chain-gang
This is mustache
I am Texas
I am Texas
I am Texas

We were talking just the other day
a day away from here
and decided to lock you in a room
to let you realize your worth
I want to take you on a trip
so far away from everything
we have in common
or had in common
We were talking just the other day

I want to take you on a trip
so far away from everything

Too blind to notice
and too numb to really feel
consider the virtues
and the need you really see

you've got to stop trying to go to texas
a state that big and dry
is not meant for our kind
we'd have to stay inside
stop trying to be like texas
it's wild and it's loud
scraping knuckles on a cloud
the birds have learned to frown
(stop trying to go to texas)
please change your mind
(stop trying to go to texas)
waste my time
(stop trying to go to texas)
stop trying to go to texas
you've got to stop trying to go to texas
there's cactus everywhere
the alamo is there
you'd never stand a chance

waste my time

Here comes the night : Here comes the night ......
Here we go
Shes on a hidden "tableau" Tabloid
just a 2-for-1
and the 2-for-1 is right
down my alleyside
i'm just a wasting behind
dont you know its an easy thing
when it's lost
doesn't show when the ends are frayed .....and its tossed out
lined with silver thread
i've seen you wasted behind
she's so lackadaisical
shoulda been a west coast bride
back seat on electric glide
pilots flying drive by fears
dont hold your breath too long
original -> "this tunnel is a texas mile"
Elijah -> Its time to lose your Texas mind....

Oh girl, I've been told
When I grow old, I'll be alone
But I don't mind if I'm in Texas
Oh, but it's been said
When I am dead, I'll be alone
But I don't mind if I'm in Texas
[MARK: "Texas was a letter to Hamlet, my crazy dog; it didn't' make much sense so Grant suggested a different rhythm, but I couldn't do it so Grant sang the first part. I kept the break and then we came together in the end. I don't think the part that Grant sings is about my dog even though I think he liked Hamlet. Hamlet was never in Texas although I think he would have liked it because they have a lot in common."
GRANT: "Didn't know that was ever about Hamlet, but the hand I lent to finishing that song seems to work just the same. From where I sit right now, on my front porch -- Kansas, mid-June, that feels like the most vital song on the record. It's an important song for Mark and me together and alone -- and I did like Hamlet."]
Do you remember driving up in Utah
Stack of tapes to keep us listening
Driving east into the rising sun
Snow kept coming hard as ever
And even though I've never told you
Those were the best days that I've ever known
I know where the path should go
It may be far, but at least it's home
How it feels, I just don't know
I said, I know where the path should go
It may be far, but at least it's home
How it feels, I just don't know
I'm already set to go
Do you remember driving up in Utah
Stack of tapes to keep us listening
Driving east into the rising sun
Snow came down as hard as ever
And even though I've never told you
Those were the best days that I've ever known
I know where the path should go
It may be far, but at least it's home
How it feels, I just don't know
I said, I know where the path should go
It may be far, but at least it's home
How it feels I just don't know
I'm already set to go
I said, I'm already set to go
To get on up and get on out to Texas
Tell everybody I said "Hey"
Would you make sure my dog's bowl is kept full
It seems like it's been a long time
It feels like it's been a while
I wouldn't know, these days just roll on by
Days just roll on, they just go on by
Like these Texas roads
Do you remember driving all night long?
They just go on by
Do you remember?
These roads we're on
Do you remember driving all night long?
I didn't know you were there
Do you remember?
Take care
Do you remember driving all night long?
I hope to see you soon
I hope to be there soon
Come on Buddy, Texas. Texas, Texas, Texas. Ja mein Pferd und meine Stiefel, ja mein Hemd und meine Sporen. Mein Gewehr meine Weste und mein Hut. Das alles steht mir gut. Ja die Kakteen und der Sand, die Prärie mit ihren Büffeln. Indianer, Kojoten und der Wald - Hier werd ich alt!
Gigs up girl, I'm calling your bluff
Where your bed at? Baby, where your handcuffs?
One time and you can't get enough
I know you're a freak, girl, I know you like it rough
Make a man scream, "Lord have mercy"
Baby girl scream, "Lord have mercy"
Yea, know you sure look good to me
Look good to me
Say, won't you take me there?
Take me where I wanna
Say, won't you take me there?
Head back to Texas
I'm in the water and I'm testing my luck
You got the line, baby, here comes the hook
The videos and the pictures you took
You're a freak ho, so let me have myself a look
Shake your ass, girl, Lord have mercy
God damn, Lord have mercy
Yea, your love's like ecstasy
When you're next to me
Say, won't you take me there?
Take me where I wanna
Say, won't you take me there?
Head back to Texas
36-24-36
Got you girlies all up in my mix
Shaking hips on the poles, doing flips and you know this
Head back to Texas
Those pants got your ass lookin' tight
I know, you know, you know, you shake it just right
From the back, from the front, from the side
Hush your mouth girl, I know you do it just right
Make a man scream, "Lord have mercy"
Back it up girl, Lord have mercy
Yea, your shit feels good to me
Feels good to me
Say, won't you take me there?
Take me where I wanna
Say, won't you take me there?
Head back to Texas
36-24-36
Got you girlies all up in my mix
Shaking hips on the poles, doing flips and you know this
Head back to Texas
Where the girls bounce 24/7, right?
And then they do it to you every fucking single night
You get yourself into a little sticky icky situation
Head back to Texas
Head back to Texas
Head back to Texas
So where my girls at Texas?
You know I'm talking about Texas
Good times in Texas
You know I'm headed back to Texas
Girl, let me holla at you
Said, girl, yea, I'm talking to you
So where my girls at Texas?
Good times in Texas
Girl, let me holla at you
Sometimes I lie awake in bed
Thinking about the things you said
So lost for words, so lost to tell you how I feel
So terrified of changing what I thought was real
It's too bad, you're gone
It's too bad, you're not alone
And I know that you couldn't see
That it's too bad that you're gone
And not here with me
Standing here, trying to make some sense of this
There's nothing between us
Still I can feel your awkwardness
You're so lost for words
So you just tell me I'm your friend
There must be one reason
Only one reason in the end
It's too bad, you're gone
It's too bad, you're not alone
And I know that you couldn't see
That it's too bad that you're gone
And not here with me
So why are you pulling away
It must be from things that I say
And I'm thinking you're thinking of him
A silver lining
Take my building
Take my pizza
There's cloud
I feel so threatened
IT's a dustbowl
Is there hope?
A cloud of dust
A blue horizon
Go to Texas
Back to New York
Where's my pizza?
Where my building?
Where's my brother?
How's the pizza?
Fucking awful
Now it's raining
How's the people?
Fucking boring
Bowl of mud
I get confused
Disoriented
Where am I?
Back in New York
It's a desert
Made of mud
Dusty blood
Soggy crud
Now it's raining
Where's my lining?
Good for it
Silver lining
Leave the dustbowl
Where's my building?
Leave the building
Where's my building?
Where's my brother?
How's the pizza?
How's the weather
It's a desert
Home to New York
Go to Maine
I'm in Maine
Stay in Maine
Back to New York
Good to see you
Good to see you
For a minute
Wanna seed
Gotta sow
Wanna flower
Gotta grow
Where's the tower?
Don't you know?
Where's the other?
Had to go
Awful secret desert pizza brother people building Texas
tower tower boring burning
The dirt from the yard still falls from my boots
Smoke from the fire still perfumes my shirt
Singing songs til the day broke, drinking wine
From the bottle carousing and laughing while today made tomorrow
The town was a full blown flower bothered by bees
There was plenty of pollen for all of us to feast
You opened your door, said make yourselves free
Even gave me your bed and got in with me
And the spring fell down on us, in music we trust
The spring fell down on us in texas
Barely acquainted and beautifully bare
In the early morning light we had few words to share
You were thinking of her, I was thinking of him
But our hands and our lips spoke the sweet tongue of skin
We rolled in like rockstars, we flew out tired and drunk
Already missing that sweet southern sun we said no goodbyes,
'Cause what's done is well done
I welcome the memory of you and your songs
And the spring fell down on us, in music we trust
my gal sal's got a high-class noose
she'll be out on the street when the rent is due
but all she's got to stop my blooze
somebody's got a place rollin a deuce
(chorus)
texas chili, texas grass, texas moonshine
I love that texas ass!
lord, man, you know I do
texas air, texas swing
the guys come here and the women make me sing
lord, them belles down there, know what I mean
well, I'm on a highway born to roam
no matter the miles
I've always got a home
get back to texas
child, yes we do
houston girls are long and nice
you only gotta ask 'em twice
el paso girls send you down to the border
they make my eyes cross
they make my mouth water
(chorus)
texas chili, texas grass, texas moonshine
I love that texas ass!
lord, man, you know I do
texas air, texas swing
the guys come here and the women make me sing
? know what I mean?
well i'm on a highway born to roam
no matter the miles
I've always got a home
get back to texas
child, yes I do
hill country and the golden coast
the east texas girls got west texas ghosts
our panhandle grows 'em long and lean
big titties poppin' out like Ive ever seen
jalapeno cornbread all with chicken-fried bass
mexican food that'll burn yo ass
cream-style gravy holdin' it all together
maybe like to think you died and gone to heaven
I probably seen about a million states
half a million girls, been on half a million dates
half of them long, 'bout half of them nice
texas women, man, drives me twice as bad
(chorus)
texas chili, texas grass, texas moonshine
I love that texas ass!
lord, man, you know I do
well, I'm on a highway born to roam
I don't care the miles
man, I've always got a home
get back to texas
I’m in Texas
I’m in pain
I am bleeding
And ashamed
Red red groovy
Runs amok
Evil flows here
And disrupts
Blows me kisses
Crimson lips
Blank expressions
Age old scripts
King of winter
Pricks and pries
Gets no answer
Short supply
You don’t know me
We’ve not met
I will trick you
Kill your pets
I don’t like you
Old and withered
Spider vein
Like a needle
Pulling dread
Shifting borders
Fence me in
Meaty fingers
Play to win
I’m in Texas
I’m afraid
Find the strength to
Cut the main
Keep your distance
I can’t breathe
How convenient
This all seems
Some exquisite
Serenade
My love has gone away
Packed up her bags and then boarded that plane
And I guess that the time I figured you'd wait
Teary face, leaky breath, a bitter taste
Tripped out for six hundred years
Who would have thought that I'd make it last year?
In a way it makes sense that I died and reappeared
As that fly you've been swatting for years
Calm down and make him a drink
Pretty small town and the gossip repeats
She took off her clothes
And sat on the bed next to me
My heart is pumping my blood
Your heart's not beating at all
In a way it makes sense that it isn't
It just never was
Right now, a sinful exchange
Once done, unspeakable shame
And I should've known where I took the blame
The sweat and the shame fireless flame
Please god, don't take him too
Take me, a replicant fool
Lost a gear and now I hardly move
He's a kid, I'm a fool
Please son, where is your faith?
Take off your bushels, set fire to your pain
You will heal like a cut
Let it scar, let it scab, let it stain
In a while I promise you'll see
You're alive, not the blemish or burns
That you keep on your feet
I am a towel that is soaked to the core
Heavier now than it's gotten before
And something inside of me needs more and more
Sooner than later, never no more
If you're gonna play in Texas
You've gotta have a fiddle in the band
The lead guitar is hot
For a Louisiana man
So grease up them titties
And slap'em in my face
I'm getting a boner all the way
