(Carly Simon/Mike Mainieri)
James,
Your voice is like the water
When I lift this shell to my ear
I can hear you pourin' out your heart to me
James,
The beauty of your voice
Lifts us from sadness
James,
Let us become like water together
Sing to me
Sit on the edge of my bed as when we
First spent nights together
Your body wrapped around your guitar
Let the music speak for your heart
Let them combine like water and sand
Let them meet the air like drops of rain
James
We were always friends
From our childhood days
Then we made our plans
And we had to go our separate ways
I went on the road
You pursued an education
James
Do you like your life?
Can you find release?
Will you ever change?
Will you ever write your masterpiece?
Are you still in school
Living up to expectations
James
You were so relied upon
Everybody knows how you tried
Ah look at what a job you've done
Carrying the weight of family pride
James
You've been well behaved
You've been working hard
But will you always stay
Someone else's dream of who you are?
Do what's good for you
Or you're not good for anybody
James
I went on the road
You pursued an education
James
How you gonna know for sure?
Everything was so well organized
Ah now everything is so secure
And everybody else is satisfied
James
Do you like your life?
Can you find release?
Will you ever change?
When will you write your masterpiece?
Do what's good for you
Or you're not good for anybody
whenever she's feeling empty
whenever she's feeling insecure
whenever her face is frozen
unable to fake it anymore
her shadow is always with her
her shadow will always keep her small
so frighten that he wont lover her
she builds up a wall
oh no, she knows where to hide in the dark
oh no, she's nowhere to hide in the dark
She's a star
she's been in disguise forever
she's tried to disguise her stellar views
much brighter than all this static
now she's coming through
oh no, she knows where to hide in the dark
oh no, she's nowhere to hide in the dark
She's a star
Don't tell her to turn down,
Put on your shades if you can't see,
Don't tell her to turn down,
Turn up the flame.
She's a star
it's a long road
it's a great cause
it's a long road
its a good call
you got it,
you got it,
SHE'S A STAR
[Music depresses me]
Help's on it's way, I'm lost in space
No protection
Please come and rescue me
I've got no friends, an orphan
Who had faith, who betrayed
Took only a kiss to give me away
Who had faith, who betrayed
Took only a kiss
To blow you away
All in my head
I'll play dead, if you want me to
if you want me all in my head
i'll play dead, if you want me to
if you want me
Who had faith, who betrayed
Took only a kiss to give me away
Who had faith, who betrayed
Took only a kiss
to blow you away
All in my head
I'll play dead, if you want me to
if you want me all in my head
i'll play dead, if you want me to
if you want me
I'm building a fire
A flame for always
I'm living on fire
A flame for always
I'm living like fire
A flame for always
I'm building a fire
A flame for always
I'm living like fire
A flame for always
How long to go
Before this flame dies
How long to burn
Before I blaze away
I blaze away
So long to all my friends
And those who taunted me
To those who lead me on
To those who...
You're a late child
You're a love child
It's enough, child
That you're so appealing
You're appealing, you're appealing
To a need that we all have been feeling
You don't fit where you've been put
They're so straight
Straight out of some book
Try to fake it with the real men
Tried to fill your father's size ten
Alone in this world
You're not a boy or a girl
Don't let them wear you down
What a wonderful ego
You should be so proud
Far out is the life for you
Not just a life, that you must make do
Alone in this world
You're not a boy or a girl
Nothing is certain,
Every things changed
More than just words when you know it's you who's in pain
You hold the chalice, you hold the blade
Bring them together and see what you've made
Facing the future inside a cocoon
Feeling control when you've been so abused
Alone in this world
Your're not a boy or a girl
Alone in this world
You're not a boy or a girl
Blue pastures fade away
Green rivers in silver light
I'm walking to the sound of distant bells
So peaceful I don't know who I am
And just when I think its clear
It turns all grey again
And I wonder who will find me in the snow
And just when I thought I was free
I got pulled in again
Once you're in, you're in
Blue pastures calling home
I'm Walking but I can't stand anymore
Hear voices, can't tell near or far
Weird voices lay me down
And I don't see why I'm obliged
To just carry on
When everything I touch
Turns out wrong
And I feel I've committed some crime
But I don't know what I've done
One day life just wins
One day life just wins
Still breathing
But I'm tired and I want to go home
Still breathing
But I'm not sure anymore
Still breathing
But it doesn't really matter if I fade away
Fall into sleep
Leave the room, don't use the door
We're only on the 13th floor
Your veil is lifting
You've got nothing on, you've nothing on
Every dog must have his day,
Every Caesar should be spade
Your veil is lifting
And we can see right through your suit of tears
You don't own us
Can't control us
Avalanche
Avalanche
Every face a stepping stone
At the top's a throne of bones
Your curtain's twitching
But you can't see past your daily sneer
We don't fear you
Now we see you
Avalanche
Now we got into your shoes
Its your turn to be abused
The heat is rising
And you can't hold back this rage with fear
You accused us
While you used us
Avalanche
You accused us
While you screwed us
For a love you dream
A dreamer still
For you love a dream
A dreamer still
For you dream
A love too bad to meet
Where your song is all
The wait is still
And your song is of
Your rage will steal
I relax and hold your way to see
It's the falling dark beside the sea
It's a dream along the water scene
It's the light of that you¡¯re ever she
Pray down in your home
Pray down in your home
Smile in your home
Lay down and in your home
Lay down in your home
Smile
Lay the law down in your home
Lay the law down in your home

Working in different mine shifts
Working in different minds
Down the chute and out the door
I know that I've been here before
The blinding lights, the long white coat
Cut the cord before I choke
Oh, please sir, handle me gently
I've got nothing to protect me
This man in a mask stabbed me in the back
No sooner alive than I'm being attacked
If this is the planet Earth
Oh please, mom, take me back in your sack
My keepers aren't too bad this time
The man's quiet, the woman's crying
When I arrive, what's hers is mine
I take and take it all the time
Oh please sir, do not tempt me
Those sweet things, they just destroy me
I always want more than I can get
My belly's full, but I'm not done yet
Need something to kill
The word is you¡.mine
It's true, it's true, it's true
You taught us how to be the same as you
If only you really knew
We wouldn't do what you do
It's true
As you poison the Earth you poison our lives
This isn't living, but another disguise
Go looking for truth
As all of this is built on lies and lies etc.
Hey, hey, hey now you've found me
Everything's so clear
With your arms around and your song in my heart
There's simply nothing I can fear
Feel he inside burst through my head
Replacing my eyes
Please don't let me hide
Cut through my head
Replacing my eyes
There are so many traps been laid
How can you avoid one
Put your foot down in a moonlit glade
Snap, your ankle's broken
(refrain)
I don't know how decisions get made
Which are the turns to take
It doesn't seem to matter what plans are laid
You can't tell when the wave will break
So many ways
There are so many colourful rays
How are you going to choose one
Bright lights look all right from here
But seduction has to be wrong
(refrain)
So many ways
I don't know which path you're taking,
If it's bent or straight
All I know is I've found something that will take me home again
So many ways
If you keep your wits about you,
Search with an open heart
You'll be sure to find your answers, penetrate the scream in the cynics
So many ways
Lost and if you are looking for foot's path
Floating free in space
There are all these lights coming out the dark
Do they lead to the same place
So many ways
An earwig crawled into my ear
Made a meal of the wax and hairs
Phoned friends, had an insect party
But all I could hear was the bass drum drum
All I could hear was the bass drum drum
Now if you put your ear close you'll be able to hear
Not the sea shore noise of the shore sea shell
The clatter of plates
And the bronze of the bell
Going ding dong, ding dong, ding dong dong
Going out of my mind as they hollow my head
I'm floating in the air, but my body's in bed
The more they eat, the more I see
What is not, but just could be
You can hear them laughing in my head
You can hear them laughing in my head
Ha ha ha ha ha
Now they've eaten my memory, I can't recall
How the world used to be before
So a vision is the same as what is real
Depends upon the lighting, and how I feel
Ding dong, drum drum, ha ha ha ha ha
And then the music stopped
The musician went away
They'd eaten all my brain
The red and the grey
They all stack at home
Dug a tongue through my nose
Where my brain used to be
Now there's only a hole
Tiptoe behind sapper
Who crawls through the minefield
Knife in the soil, and his ear to the ground
Hiding in shadow, he takes the risks
You are the pimp who steals the sound
Fox breathes again, when the fox breathes again
When you spy a fresh face remember the rich taste
You want a part, at the cost of it all, so you open your flick knife
And lop off a thick slice
Envy makes the flyer fall
Please don't hitch a ride with us, you leave a slime that turns to pus
Your appetite is out of sight
I think I'll be feeding you dynamite
Please don't hitch a ride with us, you leave a slime that turns to pus
Your appetite is out of sight
I think I'll be feeding you dynamite
I'll never feed you again
When you spy a fresh face, remember the rich taste
You want a part at the cost of it all, so you open your flick knife
And lop off a thick slice
Envy makes the flyer fall
The only way to kill this breed is stuff its face, let him feed
Piling the plate, pushing the load, make him eat 'til he explodes
The only way to kill this breed is stuff its face, let him feed
Piling the plate, pushing the load, make him eat 'til he explodes
I'll never feed you again
Hello
Swig from the bottle, now who's sucking who
You'd prefer the nipple, but your teeth have cut through
Defects we're born with, but poisons we choose
He' s not there, just a gap in the air
He's not there, just the smell of despair
He's not there
Pill-popping and a pint-pulling
And a thirst-quenching, mind-bending
Pill-popping and a pint-pulling
And a thirst-quenching, mind-bending
Pill-popping and a knife-pulling
People come knocking, but there's no one at home
Did you get my call, oh you haven't a phone
That look in your eyes, it's miles away
Don't look in your eyes, you are miles away
He's not there he's really not there
Oh, people come knocking but there's no one at home
Did you get my call, oh you haven't a phone
That look in your eyes, it's miles away
That look in your eyes, it's miles away
Why is it always, when I open my mouth
I clash with whatever you do
When we dance together your rhythm and tempo
Cuts through my quick step and tune
You cry, I, I, can't take anymore
But you can't find the bloody door
Oh you might think we're free
'Til we slip back into memory
We're joined by a purpose that will not release us
'Til we have come to some terms
Some love and acceptance, not hate and repentance
These skills are things to be learned
You cry, I, I, can't take anymore
But you can't find the bloody door
Oh you might think we're free
'Til we slip back into memory
I love you so
I'm stuck, can't you let go
Let's try again
This time we will be friends
I cannot change
All my tracks have been laid
Playin' the game
It's just, it's just a memory
Lost in memory

Operator the lines are down
And I'm a traitor
A traitor to a beautiful cause
God made me to her own design
Bad planing
Too many floors
How long will it take to get used to me?
How long will it take to get used to me?
Don't wait that long
Won't wait that long
Don't wait that long
Don't wait that long
Oh yes I love
But today I could hate you
I could hurt you
Cause we're joined at the heart
Beats faster, hits harder
Than a boxer
Whenever we are apart
Body language is an SOS
I don't understand how our fights start
Not enough
Too believe in love
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know where we've gone wrong
How long will it take to get used to me?
How long will it take to get used to me?
Don't wait that long
Won't wait that long
No we won't wait that long
Don't wait that long
Operator
The lines are down
And I'm a traitor
To a beautiful cause
God made me
To her
Own design
Bad planning
Too many floors
I've got too many floors
Too many floors
Don't wait that long
Won't wait that long
Scared to be alone
Frightened of the dark
Everything's too much
For a boy out of touch with his feelings
I must be to blame
I must be at fault
I believe I'm never good enough
To shine a light that lingers
I have witnessed starbursts in your coal
black eyes
I am what I try to deny
I have seen the serpent coiling set to strike
And love is the usual disguise
Pleased to meet you
Where you from
And what's your name?
Never came alive
Never cut the cord
Nothing is too much for a boy out of touch
With his feelings
Worshipping the moonshine
Skinning up the grapevine
I don't have a plan where I'm going
I just follow my fingers
I will be the burning man
To grace these times
I am what I try to deny
I reflect the same eyes looking back at me
And love is the only reply
Pleased to meet you
Where you from and what's your name
We're more than enough
Dead Ringers
Pleased to meet you
Where you from
And what's your name ?
What's your name ?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
There's a fight, there's a fight, there's a fight
And the rage is growin'
You have pushed me through too many windows and too many doors
You have torn all the joy from my heart and my body shows it
The only beats you allow around here are the beat of war
Let's have a party
Bring a gun
Bring a gun
Don't go out with that smile tonight or you might get arrested
Get a license for that grin or they'll lock you away
If you show that you're happy inside then you're gonna get busted
The only law we allow around here is an organized raid
Let's have a party
Bring a gun
Bring a gun
What are you gonna do when the muscle wont move when they are lockin you up
Blockin the light
How many words will you waste on the telephone
What are you gonna do when the muscle wont move when they are lockin you up
How many words will you waste on the telephone
Lets lets lets
Have a party
And you can bring your gun
And you can bring your shinny new helicopter
Bring a gun
Bring a gun
Lets have a party
I nearly died when you jumped in
But you had to drown before you could swim
All the people on the beach, they were so impressed
That they wanted to join you but no they wouldn¡¯t undress
Oh there, that wetness, splashed their skin
So they prayed for a whirlpool to pull you in
Ya ho
Ya ho
Ya ho
So they looked away and they tried to pretend
That it was for you, but no it wasn¡¯t for them
Now the fear of sinking remains in place
But it¡¯s this fear of failure that a real disgrace
Ya ho
Ya ho
Let me be the one
Let me be the one
Let me be the one
Let me be the one
To get over you wall
To get over you wall
Heads in the sand, sea out of reach
Swept away by the games of the beach
Those people sat and watched your stand
While the wait of their fears pulled them underground
Will anyone learn from the stories that are told
Of the tribe who drown in a grave of gold
Ya ho
Ya ho
Ya ho
Ya ho
Ya ho
Ya ho
I see your heads down
Someone¡¯s calling
Put you heads down
Someone¡¯s drowning
Look up see what¡¯s fit for your eyes
Some escaping on someone drowning
Your head is underground
Your head is underground
Your head is underground
Your head is under the ground
Hitching a ride with the sandman
He¡¯ll bury your head in his hands
Turn into a bland man
Where will you make your stand?
Hup springs, the voice in man
The prophet calls, the master¡¯s plan
You resist his true demands
It¡¯s an inner thing that calls at you
Makes you do what you must do
A voice you can ignore
Find the key that fits the door
Follow that song right to its core
Find the key that fits the door
Follow that song right to its core
But I would rather not go, I would rather stay home
I would rather not go, I would rather stay home
And eat and sleep and think and eat
And eat and sleep and think and eat
Rather not go, rather stay at
Rather not go, rather stay at home
If there¡¯s someone outside to see you
You can always run away
But when there¡¯s something inside does the calling
There¡¯s nowhere you can hide
Jump down an open stair
Fire escape, to the frame and air
Hiding away from the wrong despair
It¡¯s and inner thing that calls at you
Makes you do what you must do
A voice you can¡¯t ignore
Find the key that fits the door
Follow that song right to its core
Find the key that fits the door
Follow that song right to its core
But I would rather not go, I would rather stay home
I¡¯d rather not go, I would rather stay home
Where I will eat and sleep and think and eat
And eat and sleep and think and eat
Talk to friends having oh such fun
Watching late night television
Other side of midnight
Mike Tyson¡¯s feat
Donahue and Nighbeat
Jifeman sends my girlfriend to sleep
And eat
And eat
And eat, and eat, and eat, and eat, and eat...
Sleep and eat, sleep and eat...
Drifting through the atmosphere
Through the afterglow
Witnessing one thousand lies
I'll blow, where the wind blows
Falling in between the lines
Never fitting in
Someone tells me what's my crime
Too thin
I'm too thin
Due to come back down due to come back down
Don't wanna, don't wanna land
Due to come back down, due to come back down
I don't wanna, don't wanna land
Don't wanna, don't wanna, land
Land
Land
This time I've a staring role
Hide the shape I'm in
I'm too old to sacrifice for gold, and skin
For gold
And skin
For gold
For gold
I don't want to come back down, don't want to land
Down, don't want to come down, down don't want to land
Down, don't want to come down, down don't want to land
Down, don't want to come down, down don't want to land
Drifting through the atmosphere
Floating through this land
Sifting through one thousand years
Of sand
All sand
Drifting through the atmosphere
Floating through this land
Sifting through one thousand years
Of sand
All sand
Drifting through the atmosphere
Floating through this land
Sifting through one thousand years
Of sand
All sand
Drifting through the atmosphere
Doctor what is happening to me?
Palpitations, my mind is diseased
Even my vision is impaired
I'm losing my hair
Cause when I hold her in my arms I feel like Fred Astaire
Lovesick, my temperature's high
Just met a girl, who believes we can fly
I'm a bull, not a bear
I'm a millionaire
Cause when I hold her in my arms, I feel like Fred Astaire
I believe in happiness
I believe in love
I believe she fell to earth from somewhere high above
I believe in Hollywood
Don't believe that love must bring despair
Cause when I hold her in my arms, I feel like Fred Astaire
Who said love is just a disease
A plague for the naive
These days no one believes
Meteors may strike the earth
Nations live and die
I'm the boy who got the girl
And now we're gonna fly
We can cross the race divide
Bridge a gap that wasn't really there
Cause when I hold her in my arms, I feel like Fred Astaire
I'm gonna hold her in my arms, just like Fred Astaire
I'm gonna hold her in this charm, like Fred Astaire
Like Fred Astaire
Like Fred Astaire
Like Fred Astaire
There's a storm outside, and the gap between crack and thunder
Crack and thunder, is closing in, is closing in
The rain floods gutters, and makes a great sound on the concrete
On a flat roof, there's a boy leaning against the wall of rain
Aerial held high, calling ";come on thunder, come on thunder";
Sometimes, when I look deep in your eyes, I swear I can see your soul
Sometimes, when I look deep in your eyes, I swear I can see your soul
It's a monsoon, and the rain lifts lids off cars
Spinning buses like toys, stripping them to chrome
Across the bay, the waves are turning into something else
Picking up fishing boats and spewing them on the shore
The boy is hit, lit up against the sky, like a sign, like a neon sign
And he crumples, drops into the gutter, legs twitching
The flood swells his clothes and delivers him on, delivers him on
Sometimes, when I look deep in your eyes, I swear I can see your soul
Sometimes, when I look deep in your eyes, I swear I can see your soul
There's four new colors in the rainbow
An old man's taking polaroids
But all he captures is endless rain, endless rain
He says listen, takes my head and puts my ear to his
And I swear I can hear the sea
Somtimes, when I look in your eyes I can see your soul
(I can reach your soul)
(I can touch your soul)
Sometimes
Where is the love
Where is the love
Where is the love
That everyone is talking of
Where is the love
Where is the love
That everyone is dreaming of
Come to bed
Come to bed
Come to bed
I cannot sleep in all this heat
Come to bed
Come to bed
This terror's all within my head
Don't be deceived, no land in sight
We're all adrift in this dark night
We float on seas of disbelief
While singing songs of pain relief
Shake my body - release my soul
Punish my senses - lose control
This body's young but my spirit's old
Scatter my ashes and let my feelings go
Where is the love
Where is the love
Where is the love
That everyone is talking of
Where is the love
Where is the love
That everyone is dreaming of
Don't be deceived, no land in sight
We're all adrift in this dark night
We float on seas of disbelief
While singing songs of pain relief
Shake my body - release my soul
Punish my senses - lose control
This body's young but my spirit's old
Scatter my ashes and let my feelings go
Shake my body - release my soul
Punish my senses - lose control
Heart of gold heart of gold heart of gold
One body in my mother's belly
Chinese dolls, box in boxes
How do you sail the ship from the bottle?
How do you sail the ship from the bottle?
Heart of gold heart of gold heart of gold
Gold, gold mother, gold, gold, gold mother
I can see the head now
Between her legs now
Purple headed alien
Water logged old man
In the blood silence
In the blood silence
Silence, silence
Cry for me mother cry for me mother Crimean mother cry me another
My feet and hands won't work
My feet and hands won't work
In my baby's body
My brand new baby's body
I'll suck my fingers red
I'll suck my fingers red
In my baby's body
My brand new baby's body
I can see the head now
Between her legs now
Purple headed alien
Water logged old man
In the blood silence
In the blood silence
Silence
Silence
Silence
Shut up
In the bright lights and harsh sounds, there's a man
In green ceremonial robes and mask, dipping a straw through your nose
Mouthwash of meconium lungs full of meconium
Heart full of meconium
Meconium
Meconium
Chinese dolls in boxes
Chinese dolls in boxes
I'll go out the same way I came in
Chinese dolls in boxes
And everything you touch
And everything you love
And everything you touch
Turns to gold
As precious as
As rich as
As dear as
As strong as
As hard as
Gold
Mother
Past the boudaries of all pain
You journey to the edge of death in search of a child
Gold mother there's only one
Gold mother and she's mine
She's all mine
Shut up let's hear it
Shut up

Brave face, and English illusion
Stiff lips soft and creamy inside
I'm hip to your pain and confusion
You can't tell how much suffering
On a face that's always smiling
I swore I would always be with you
But now I'm afraid of your tears
I fear that you might take me with you
You can't tell how much suffering
On a face that's always smiling
I've grinned my way through beatings
I've smiled my way through school
But underneath this grinning
Is the sadness of the fool
No longer know my feelings
Been fooling for too long
Borne of desperation in an effort to look strong
Look strong, look strong
Hey there monkey face you look so strong
That joke could crack you with laughter
Release from the edge of despair
Success is the god that I'm after
In jokes, I'm a millionaire
You can't tell how much suffering
On a face that's always smiling
At school he always had to hide
His feelings buried deep inside
A poker face, his features froze
At 12 he looked like William Burroughs
He talked but never moved his lips
Made love but never used his hips
His skin unused fell to decay
From fleshy pink to ashen grey
It's enough to crack a smile
It's enough to make you blind
It's enough to make you live your life backwards
It's enough to drive you out of your mind
And he became a figurehead
A 3-D sign that might be dead
And no one knew his state of mind
He fell into the great divide
It's enough to crack a smile
It's enough to leave you blind
At school he always had to hide
His feelings buried deep inside
A poker face, his features froze
At 12 he looked like William Burroughs
William Burroughs
William Burroughs
William Burroughs
Burroughs
Burroughs
Burroughs
Today, I won't think of any sad things
Will not think of torture, or the rape of nature
Just today, I won't touch those sickening papers
Will just let myself get swept away by this beautiful day
What for, tell oh me, tell oh me, what for
What for, tell oh me, tell oh me, what for
The sunset tonight is beyond all words, in the sky above the square
The starling spiral dancing on air.
What for, tell oh me, tell oh me, what for
What for, tell oh me, tell oh me, what for
I will pass through the glass into air past those birds
In the square, I am sun, I am sky in my mind's eye
Today, I will dive into foaming seas
Sick fish, myself, and some strange debris.
I would prefer to be anywhere away from here
Oh I would prefer to be anywhere away from here
I would prefer to be anywhere away from here
I would prefer to be anywhere away from here
What for, tell oh me tell oh me, what for
What for, tell oh me, tell oh me, what for
I will pass through the glass into air past those birds
In the square I am sun I am sky
What for, tell oh me tell oh me, what for
What for, tell oh me, tell oh me, what for
I've been a fool again
Won't let it show
I've been a fool again
Don't let it, don't let it grow
Hold my heart I can't feel
Hold my heart I can't feel
Now I have stolen poison fruit
It makes me weak
And my baby's gonna leave me for some creep
But if you work your miracle,
work your miracle
I can see
If you work your miracle,
work your miracle
I can see
Cos my baby's gonna leave me for some thief
For baby she is hard
To deceive
I've been a fool again
Don't let it grow
Hold my heart I can't feel
Hold my heart only when I bleed
Broken it's all broken
What is it good for
What is it good for
Broken
Don't know what's good for me
Don't know what's good for me
But if you work your miracle
Work your miracle I can see
If you work your miracle
Work your miracle I can seeeeeeeeeee
Why so close
Big boys in black hats
Cowboys with white guns
White guns shoot blue white
Blue white baptism
No buffaloes
No Indians
No more buffaloes
Red sky is falling
Blue blood no stalling
White heat will strip you
No time to run far
(refrain 1)
Ivan's built a wall of lead 'round his house
Nobody can get in or out
Running out of food for ammunition
Frightened of the darkness
Sending out scouts
Why hang the fire so close
Why hang the fire so close
Why hang the fire so close
Why so close
(refrain 2)
Wayne's got a wall that's much more subtle
Wore headphones since he was born
Watches Ivan through dark glasses
Hand on his gun waiting for the storm
One false move and we all fall down
No funeral games, no such fun
Here's your ticket to the party
That's what you get for playing with a gun
Six-gun so close
(refrain 1)
Ivan's got a wall of lead 'round his house
Nobody can get in or out
Running out of food for ammunition
Frightened of the darkness
Sending out scouts
(refrain 2)
Wayne's got a wall that's much more subtle
Wore headphones since he was born
Watches Ivan through dark glasses
Hands on his gun waiting for the storm
Why stand the fire so close (Why)
Why stand the fire so close (Why)
Why stand the fire so close (Why)
Why?
This is not, this is not, a song
This is a shield, this is a charm, with your name on
By this beat, by this verse, I'm protected
From your heat, and your curse, is reflected
If anybody hurts me
If anybody hurts me
Here's a mirror with your name on
Singing we're gonna miss you when you're gone
Here's a mirror with your name on
Singing we're gonna miss you when you're gone
Your green eyes, poison pen, serpent's tongue
Will return to the source that they came from
Revenge is the wine
Forgiveness is fine
Forgiveness divine
Revenge is more human
Here's a mirror with your name on
Singing we're gonna miss you when you're gone
Here's a mirror with your name on
Singing we're gonna miss you when you're gone
No words, all's been said and done
No more words, all's been said and done
Here's a mirror with your name on
Singing we're gonna miss you when you're gone
Here's a mirror with your name on
Singing we're gonna miss you when you're gone
Here's a mirror with your name on
Singing we're gonna miss you when you're gone
There's a knocking at my window
Not one for yes but two for no
Some spirit is unsatisfied
From watching her world spin out of control
At night she goes walking around her old home
Objecting to how it's all changed
She preferred her arrangements to the ones which we have made
Walking the ghost
Walking the ghost
Walking the ghost
There's baggage on my shoulders
Making me stoop bending my frame
My neck is crocked lopsided
I will never be tall again
At night she goes walking around her old home
You can feel so much sadness wrapped up in her bones
I can feel so much sadness wrapped up in her bones
Walking the ghost
Walking the ghost
Walking the ghost
I'm sensitive to unkindness
Stab in the back burn in the ribs
I need your fingers to straighten my flesh
I hope your fingers are kind
Walking the ghost
Walking the ghost
Walking the ghost
Please believe me when I'm crying
My sincere apologies
You had faith
I was lying
How indiscreet
Couldn't save myself from the calling of my flesh
Desire turned out much stronger than belief
In a stranger's arms I finally found some rest
Undertaker, undertaker
Everywhere I look is Satan
Making cash and laughing back at me
I'm afraid it's my reflection
Am I deceived?
Couldn't save myself from the calling of my flesh
Desire turned out much stronger than belief
In a stranger's arms I finally found some rest
Undertaker, undertaker
Undertaker, undertaker, undertaker
Undertaker, undertaker, undertaker
I've become possessed
But that's special
And by the Lord I'm blessed
In ecstasy
And all my choices disappear
And I'm special
While the people hold me dear
Are you following me?
Are you following me?
Now I can feel some spirit entering me
And I am hoping it's God I receive
But I am open to be deceived
Are you following me?
Are you following me?
Undertaker, undertaker
Say Something
You're as tight as a hunter's trap
Hidden well, what are you concealing
Poker face, carved in stone
Amongst friends, but all alone
Why do you hide
Say something, say something, anything
I've shown you everything
Give me a sign
Say something, say something, anything
Your silence is deafening
Pay me in kind
Take a drug to set you free
Strange fruit from a forbidden tree
You've got to come down soon
More than a drug is what I need
Need a change of scenery
Need a new life
Say something, say something anything
I've shown you everything
Give me a sign
Say something, say something, anything
Your silence is deafening
Pay me in kind
Say something
I'm open wide, open wondering
Have you swallowed everything
Tonight
I had this dream but my vision was cracked
Drifting away you said you're not coming back
You're moving out while I'm flat on my back
What are you doing to me
You're making me happy
I was always sad
Whenever I'm happy my dreams are sad
Make me happy tonight
Make me happy tonight
Make me happy tonight
Make me happy tonight
We must go on now there's no turning back
Kiss my defences with one of those counter attacks
I'm exposed, shown you too much
Now you're invading my dreams
Making me happy
I was always sad
Afraid to be happy, that's so sad
Make me happy tonight
Make me happy tonight
Make me happy tonight
Make me happy tonight
Something's burning in my kitchen
Stop that smiling, something's smoking
Soon be crying, soon be broken
Fire, fire, fire
Make me happy tonight
Make me happy tonight
Make me happy tonight
Make me happy tonight
He said I must be dreaming
But I thought I heard the sound
The sound that lovers make
As they drop down from the window
Quiet as cats, across the courtyard
Moving from shadow to shadow
Past the guards to the forest
So quiet in her still reflection
Drawing them down, drawing them down to the lake
To the centre of her attention
Steal the moon tonight
Before the morning
Steal the moon tonight
I just love a good mystery
And on the West Bank a boat is being pulled
Across the sands they move so softly
Slip into water
Oars dip, don't break the moon's reflection
And drift like a cloud
To the centre
Beneath her cool attention
Still water
Still water
Steal the moon tonight
Before the morning
Steal the moon tonight
I want to drown in your moon dream
I've seen you rising from shore to shore
I want to drown in your moon dream
I've seen you rising
Steal the moon tonight
Shine
Shine
Shine
Lost my house, lost my love
Swept away in a raging flood
I... I'm still alive
I believe God is testing me,
But I can't take what the Lord decrees
I... I'm still alive
On a Monday life was swell,
By Wednesday I'm in Hell
But I'm still alive
Bankers came to move me on
So strapped for cash, I had to sell this song
I... I'm still alive
Doctor told me I've a terrible disease
The dog's run off and the cat's got fleas
I... I'm still alive
On a Monday life was swell
By Wednesday I'm in Hell
But I'm still alive
By the Thursday life was sad
By Good Friday life's too bad
But I'm still alive
Out the window, four vultures on a tree
Licking their beaks and they're talking about me
I... I'm still alive
The view from here's breathtaking
My visions all surrounding
The humans look like insects
There is only one way down
But it's cold and lonely in this stratosphere
Gliding through the darkness
Where is my craft leading to
Am I damned or blessed?
Don't let go on top of the world
Don't let go on top of the world
Will my good friends desert me
Or will they prove themselves?
Are my demands all greedy
Or are they what I need?
If I will not be faithful
I must accept betrayal
When your turn comes to leave me
Will my free ways have failed?
Don't let go on top of the world
Don't let go on top of the world
I'll meet you inside this hollow world
I'll meet you inside
Hollow world, hollow world
It's a long way down
It's a long way down
When the world swallows whole all you've known
There are no landmarks you can recognise
Where is the jewel that will never fade
Will not decay with old age
Maybe a death, maybe the depression
Those things you thought you could lean on
Are suddenly just an impression
Well, if you put your trust in things of dust
You're gonna feel the pain of loss
The pain of loss
When the world swallows whole all you have known
There are no landmarks you can recognise
We've got no understanding of this body's needs
We've got no understanding of real philosophy
We've got no understanding of mortality
So we keep putting our trust in things that rust
And then we feel the pain of loss
Keep putting our trust in things that rust
And then I feel the pain of loss
Tongue split
In the night
I woke up in blood
Red sheets
Wrapped tight
Dreamt I was drowning in mud
Now there¡¯s a beast in my mouth
It¡¯s out of control
Beats with will of its own
Broken my teeth withdraw my gums
I think that it¡¯s taken control
Spits out your emotion
Left a deep impression
Expression
Expression, makes me feel more expression
Life changed
That night
As rip chord took command
Spit balls
All the abuse
Were more than friends could stand
Now I don¡¯t think before I speak
I open my mouth to see
What comes out
A whisper or a shout
Some sanity or a scream
Spits out raw emotion
Looking for a deeper expression
Expression
Expression
Expression
Expression, makes me feel more... expression
That be me says it all
That be me has it all
Expression
Expression
Put your hand inside this dream
Tip the scale, release this dream
Going down on a rolling wave
I'll pack the flag before I hit the ground
I can hear your thoughts arise
>From these depths to creamy skies
Driftin round, the waters cool
Let the waves cover you
The surface storm shows nothing free
The surface is calm the water is clear
I've been shot
In the wherewithals
And I don't think I can stop
From all this hullabaloo
Mary Jane's
On the game again
Seratonin's all I use
I just wish it were true
Don't treat me like a God
Treat me like a dog
I'll come home to you, to you
To you
I'm addicted to you
You're my love, my senorita
I'm addicted to you
Hope we're gonna pull through
I'm addicted to you
You're the love that makes me younger
I'm addicted to you
I hope we can pull through
Pull through
Sing a prayer
Lonely nights are here
If I can't square my fears
With what I wanna do
Don't treat me like a God
Treat me like a dog
I'll come home to you, to you
To you
I'm addicted to you
You're my love, my senorita
I'm addicted to you
I hope we can pull through
I'm addicted to you
You're the love that makes me stronger
I'm addicted to you
I hope we gonna pull through
Pull through
I'm addicted to you
You're my love, my senorita
I'm addicted to you
I hope we can pull through
I'm addicted to you
You're the god that makes me stronger
I'm addicted to you
I hope we can turn blue
Turn blue
Ape your father's sins, your mother's mood swings
To perfection
Fall into a spin, shed another skin
Strip away all your protection
Laugh at the wonder of it all
Laugh so loud you break the fall
And you see the gathering clouds
Cry at the sadness of the world
Cry so long you break it's cold
And you hear the gathering sounds
Do everything you fear
In this there's power
Fear is not to be afraid of
Laugh at the wonder of it all
Laugh so loud you break your fall
And you hear the gathering sounds
Come, dip on in
Leave your bones, leave your skin
Leave your past, leave your craft
----------------------------------------------------
Blow me away
Was that love you declared
Only a word love can mean anything
Understand the world we're livin in
Oceans apart
What's that view from your way
Beautiful craft
Weather and change
Understand the world were living in
Love can mean anything
God made love to me
Soothed away my gravity
Gave me a pair of angels wing
Clear vision and some magic things
God made love to me
Thank you for those things
Understand the world were living in
Love can mean anything
Darling I'm open
And darling unbroken
Now we done our time
We can drift away
Like the heavy cloud
With the weight of rain
Understand the world were living in
Love can mean anything
Understand the world were living in
Love can mean anything
Understand the world were living in
Love can mean anything
Understand the world were living in
Before you, no direction
Before I, came on in
Before you, let your doubts down
The wall, we're closing in
We're closing in
Adore you, no protection
Ignore you, it can't be done
To make do, with a safer option
A breakthrough, two to one
Two to one
And I hope I'm not shooting my mouth off
Again
And I pray I'm not tempting the fates
When I say we can go on forever
It's a date
It's a date
(Here she comes)
Yes I know that I love to seem foolish
(Here she comes)
Like now
Yes I know that love hardly lasts
(Here she comes)
(Here she comes)
And it's hard to receive that we're happy
(Here she comes)
Here's my heart
Here's my heart
Here she comes
----------------------------------------------
Ring the bells
Wake the town
Everyone is sleeping
Shout at the crowd
Wake them up
This angers deeper than sleep.
Got to keep awake to what is happening.
I can't see a thing through my ambitions,
I no longer feel like God is watching over me
Got to tell the world we've all been dreaming
This is not the end, a new beginning
I no longer feel my God is watching over me.
Break the code.
Concentrate.
Let the doors swing open
See through all your walls
All your floors
Now you're in deeper than sleep
Got to keep awake to what is happening.
I can't see a thing through my ambitions,
I no longer feel like God is watching over me
Got to tell the world we've all been dreaming
This is not the end, a new beginning
I no longer feel my God is watching over me.
When you let me fall
Grew my own wings
Now I'm as tall as the sky
When you let me drown
Grew gills and fins
Now I'm as deep as the sea
When you let me die
My spirit's free
There's nothing challenging me.
Oh dear what can the matter be
Princess, dreaming again
Fearful, live life more easily
Darkness, leave her in peace
Always wanting help
Will make you weak
No such place has help
But in your dreams
Climb out of your well
Protect me
Protect me
Angel, what is possessing me
Feeling, making me weak
Falling under your spell again
Wanting, love's out of reach
Climb out of your well
It's not so deep
The price of living life
Is not so steep
No such place has hel
PProtect me
Protect me
Here they come again, here they come again, here they come again
Always wanting help
Will make you weak
The price of loving life
Does not come cheap
Climb out of your well
Protect me
Protect me
I'm so alone tonight
My bed feels larger than when I was small
Lost in memories
Lost in all the sheets and old pillows
So alone tonight
Miss you more than I will let you know
Miss the outline of your back
Miss you breathing down my neck
They're all out to get you
Once again they are all out to get you
Once again
Insecure, what you gonna do
Feel so small they could step on you
Called you up, answering machine
When the human touch
Is what is need
What I need (X4)
Is you
I need you
Looked in the mirror, I don't know who I am anymore
The face is familiar
But the eyes, the eyes give it all away
They're all out to get you
Once again they're all out to get you
Here they come again (X8)
Insecure what you gonna do
Feel so small they could step on you
Called you up, answering machine
When the human touch
Is what I need
What I need (X8)
Is you (X6)
If you let me breathe (X5)
They're all out to get you
Once again
To get you
You were one
One of the three
One in three must find some peace
You were one
One of the three
I need proof before belief
Oh well, you just knew they'd come for you
So it was suicide, suicide
Oh well, you got just what you wanted
I hope your satisfied
One of the three (X4)
You were one
One of the three
One in three must find some peace
Oh well I guess your not to blame for what they've done in your name
In your name
Oh well, it's a shame you got so famous just for a sacrafice
One fo the three (X8)
You were one
One of the three
One in three must find some peace
Send forth your lamb to the slaughter
Send forthyour lamb to the slaughter
You send forthyour lamb to the slaughter
You're a weapon of devotion
Keep the faithful entertained
You're a lover of attention
Found a way to pawn the soul
Disposition may be fetching
But the world moves on and leaves you far behind
I hear you, I hear you, whispering such gorgeous stories
I see you, I see you, trying to break free
You liar, you liar, you can't live the dreams you're spinning
You liar, love to be deceived
You're falling, you're falling, falling from your god-like distance
You're fashion, just fashion, fashion doesn't keep
You're sour, so sour, all is hope and trust is misplaced
You're sour, now you are alone
Walking on fire, feel the way the world's inclining
Walking on fire, hate to deceive
Walking on fire, now the world will keep its distance
Walking on fire, you rather than me
My son says, dear father, what did you do when the world turned over
Keep spinning, keep spinning, send us off to sleep
You liar, you liar, all your words are just dust in moonshine
You liar, love to be deceived
Walking on fire, found a place away from humans
Walking on fire, hate to deceive
Walking on fire, now the world will keep its distance
Walking on fire, you rather than me
There¡¯s a Malayan stripper of sex unknown
Some Siamese twins from a broken home
Maria¡¯s party, what a show going down
Maria loves her life, but she¡¯ll show you how
There¡¯s a strong man tearing himself into pieces
A magician who will spin you on the end of his spinderly fingers
There¡¯s a show going on
Maria loves her life, she¡¯ll show you how, how, how
There¡¯s a high wire act on the telephone wire
And another Buddhist monk has set himself on fire
There¡¯s a fakir outside being buried alive
Maria¡¯s mad aunt has yet to arrive
A dahlia that dances, and a frog with wings,
A bear in a tutu that just loves to sing, karaoke
Maria loves her life, and that¡¯s all, and that¡¯s all, and that¡¯s all.
La La La La La La La etc.
You will love her forever when the scene hits your town
La La La La La La La etc.
You will love her forever
You will all love her forever
Maria¡¯s Party
And that¡¯s all.
Since your mother cast her spell
Every kiss has left a bruise
You've been raiding too much meaning from existence
Now your head is used and sore
And the forecast is for more
Memories falling, like falling rain
Falling rain
Every view they hold on you's
A piano, out of tune
You're an angel
You're a demon
You're just human
Now your world has turned to trash
Broken windows on the past
Take that child and teach him senseless
Damage the dream, damage the dream
I feel nothing, I feel nothing at all
I feel nothing at all
In this gloomy, haunted place
All the feelings are of shame
All the windows have been broken by the children
So the wind screams up the stairs
Slams the doors and rattles chairs
I wish we weren't conceived in violence
Damage the dream, damage the dream
The magic is broken
The house is in ruins
Your memory's one-sided
The side that you're choosing feels nothing
Feels nothing at all
We feel nothing at all
I'm a member of an ape-like race at the asshole end of the 20th century
This film's a thriller of the mind
Will we destroy our homes, release ourselves from the weights of gravity
I'll be amazed if we survive
Low low low
Low low low
Low low low
Low low low
This race to space we're on to release ourselves from the weights of gravity
Our highs are higher than our lows
This world's a state of mind and I can hear your thoughts much too clearly
>From slime to ape we'll learn to fly
Low low low
Low low low
Low low low
Low low low
Oh we're so powerful
Watch these giants collide
So individual
Will we ever find peace of mind
Low low low
Low low low
Low low low
Chocolate, kisses, Pokemon
Hit em while they're young, it's true
She needs lovers round the block
He works around the clock, it's true
I know it's gonna make it better
Just know it's gonna make it better
We can hold the light of grace
Instead we flake and choose to lose
TV, football, sex and killing
Without war, life's not worth living
We play our games with knowing smiles
Unattached we can choose
We choose to lose it every time
Now were heading for a fall
And a double takes it all
A stranger rolls a double 5
And everyone's a junkie
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Everyone's a junkie
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Everyone's a junkie
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Everyone's a junkie
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I know it's gonna make it better
Just know it's gonna make it better
I'm so wound up in my own ball
I loved my life so small
I've lived a life so small
I've done my best
It's time to crawl sideways
To crawl sideways
To leave this apparition
To leave this apparition doll
'Cos everyone's a junkie
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Everyone's a Junkie
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Everyone's a junkie
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Everyone's a junkie
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Everyone's a junkie
Everyone's a junkie
Everyone's a junkie
This songs made up, made second rate
Cosmetic music, powderpuff
Pop tunes, false rhymes, all lightweight bluffs
Second-hand ideas, no soul, no hate
Wasn't mean to be
Built on complacency
The nightmares ride away
When you refuse to play
Oh go and read a book
It's so much more worth while
Being a song-smith crook
Study death in style
Death in style
This language used is all worn out
A walking corpse that won't play dead
Disease dragged on from bed to bed
Pay for your twist, paid for shout
Wasn't meant to be
Built on complacency
Open your eyes and see
That lie is not for we
Raise a rope and a knife
Cut it out - the lie
I don't want to decay
Take the short cut away
Oh go and read a book
It's so much more worthwhile
Being a song-smith crook
Study death in style
Study death in style
Heard you calling through the drumbeat
Answered with sticks and bones
Scream, shout, and dance about the campfire
You can hear the question, can you feel the reply?
Heard you calling through the drumbeat
Heard you calling through the drumbeat
Can you hear the question, feel the reply?
Can you hear the question, feel the reply?
Hymn from a village
Slow down, my brother, your life is passing fast
Will you remember all these scenes that you've passed
So long, so long
Speeding past sunset, blurring from town to town
Faces I forget, hotels all look the same
Worn down the knuckle too far
So long, so long
Lost are your colors, now life's in black and white
Steals from a movie, this life's a trick of the light
Worn down the knuckle too far
Worn down
City of strangers, you seem so tired to me
Don't think I'll stay here, you don't seem friendly
I'll keep on moving, searching for peace of mind
Rivers unwinding maybe I'll find it this time
So long, so long
So long
Live from my suitcase, my life's within my hands
Sleep in a strange bed, hometown's a foreign land
man 1:
I don't like the world I see
So I'll avert my gaze to the TV
I'm too cool to get involved
Someone else can change the channel for me
man 2:
Gonna suck the juices out of this world
Gonna treat her rough
It's all she deserves
She's so cold to me
Gonna rape this world
With my straight lines
Gonna straighten her out
Because nature is just history
There's a hole in my heart
Your so cruel to me
There's a hole in my heart
>From your industry
There's a hole in my heart
man 1:
It's no use to get involved
You'll never stop the world from turning
I just want to rest in peace
I can't stop the world from burning
man 2:
Gonna test my bombs wherever I want,
Gonna poon the whale
Gonna drain the swamp
It's money to me
Gonna fuck with genes
I am what I am
Much more than a God
Much less than a man of industry
There's a hole in my heart
Your so cruel to me
There's a hole in my heart
>From the industry
I've been sitting on top of these rocks
Watching the waters rise
Everyone that I have loved has gone floating by
I've been praying for the king of the world to come rescue me
From a land that's lost in dreams
From a land that's lost in dreams
Are you waiting for the heavens
Are you waiting for the heavens to descend
Waiting for the depend, the depend, the depend
Are you waiting for the heavens
Are you waiting for the heavens to descend
Waiting for the depend, the depend, the depend
I've been looking through microscopes to see how our life begins
I've been training my lens on the stars to see where it ends
But it's this living in between that's bringing me down
To a land that's lost in dreams
To a land that's lost in dreams
To a land that's lost in dreams
Are you waiting for the heavens
Are you waiting for the heavens to descend
Waiting for the depend, the depend, the depend
Are you waiting for the heavens
Are you waiting for the heavens to descend
Waiting for the depend, the depend, the depend
Well they said you are as good as you look but that
Would be impossible
For you look even better than the face of god on a sunny day
You look good enough to eat but I've had a bellyful
And now I have this bill but I don't wanna pay
How was it for you
Do you really need that drink to disarm defences
Can you ever face the flak when you're in control
Well I don't believe my luck I am defenceless
Do with me what you want but don't tell a soul
Don't tell my soul
How was it for you
If you ain't out of your head can you ever enjoy yourself
But if you ain't in your head then who's at home?
I'm so possessed by sex I could destroy my health
We could be dancing over coals and we'd never know
We'd never know
How was it for you
Where did you get those clothes
Are you sure they're still fashionable?
The sell by date says 68
Where did you steal those riffs and that bad attitude
You are traveling back in time to an altered state
How was it for you
Was it as good as it was for me
Well that's the best it's ever been
And you're the best I've ever seen
How was it for you
How was it for you?
What's a gene between good friends
Said the monkey to the king
If you think yourself superior
You'll never learn a thing
Don't believe you're here to stay
Life gets you in the end
It's time to find out who you are
You lie and I'll pretend
What a life the lady cried
I've seen so many things
A range of human beings
From criminals to kings
All my life I've really tried
To treat them all the same
They travel the same journey
From the cradle through to grave

Break down the goverment walls
Speak in tongues, power is money
I see our interests fall
Well behind their curtain
Break down the government walls
Infiltrate our television
Break down the government walls
Time to be outspoken
I can hear the sound of falling masonry
As they try to plug that leak
I am tempted by their cloak of secrecy
To find out what their games are about
Ask a question and they'll talk of secret services
Secrets from the people they should serve
When they can hide their crimes in a legal disguise
Truth will not be seen nor heard
In Ireland they may shoot to kill without
Warning you
Or lock you away for a while without trial
And if an honest cop gets to close to the
Truth of it
They'll set him up in style in style
In China, they murder
Their youth
Who are questioning
How their lives are controlled
Do they have the means to rewrite history
Wipe out the genes of doubt
Bring down the government walls
Bring them down within my lifetime
Let's see the curtain drawn
See what they are concealing
Bring down the government walls
Crime to be outspoken
It's a crime to be outspoken
Ease your lips into a velvet kiss
While I enfold you
Move your hands across this promised land
The seekers guided by the pole star
Say the words why don't you say the words
I have been waiting long to hear
Please fall in love with me
Drift with me upon an endless sea
We are divine in the realm of these senses
Every move has been subterfuge
While we pretend that we really dont care
Lose your fear we may be strangers here
But I can feel we might be one
Please fall in love with me
I hear the sound of moons falling
Surrender to this charm
I breeze across your soul darling
Deep eternity
Lost your mind well don't you think its time
To swim away from the saftey of these beaches
Trust the tides they know which way to flow
And don't you long to flow so far
Moved in waves we've never felt before
Till we are floating way out deep
Please fall in love with me
Please fall in love with me
Please, with me
No more you choose to sue for peace where once for war
The mind ingrained can't hear the call
You have so many friends cheering you along
Don't turn a deaf ear to their song
As your world is turning you're holding on
Give it away, give it away
Holding onto right and wrong won't serve you
We keep on fighting to maintain our father's place
This time line never finds an end in revenge
Here comes an open heart to blow it all away
As your world is turning you're holding on
Give it away, give it away
Holding onto right and wrong won't serve you
As your world is turning you're holding on
Give it away, give it away
Holding onto right and wrong won't serve you
As your world is turning you're holding on
Give it away, give it away
Holding onto right and wrong won't serve you
As your world is turning you're holding on
Just give it away, give it away
Holding onto right and wrong won't serve you
When you took me in your arms
I knew I'd revive
You breathe me in so deeply
You took my hand as the music began
I knew I could dance if you let me
Everybody knows your fate honey
Everybody knows your fate
Everybody knows your fate honey
Everybody knows your fate
The snake is poised and is held by your noise
You charm the life out of demons
You kept me up there with a web of your hair
My spun my life into meaning
Everybody knows your fate honey
Everybody knows your fate
Everybody knows your fate honey
Everybody knows your fate
I've seen your stars so many lives
You seem to shine forever
Do you remember the time
Do you remember the time
Our memories held us together
Everybody knows your fate honey
Everybody knows your fate
Everybody knows your fate honey
Everybody knows your fate
Everybody hopes for so much healin
See your face in windows
Everybody knows your fate honey
Everybody knows your fate
Everybody knows your fate honey
Baby's on the lamb tonight
Her skies all full of stars
And love's just something that always goes wrong
That looks and smokes like Ava Gardner
Baby's gonna blow your lights
Adjust your back - lit charm
And if she deems to touch your heart
You can tune into your senses
Baby's coming alive to her wild side
She can burn down the lie to the dream
Baby trades you blow for blow
Crowns you like a queen
But if you stroke her long enough
Baby turns to cream
Baby's neptune's in your moon
Venus in your third
She's in bloom from June through June
Says, ";love's no noun. love's a reverb";
Baby's coming alive to her wild side
She can burn down the lie to the dream
Are you open for trade
Your salvation, for something, for some thrills
Is a body of work for your inspection
You can trace, trace my concern
My concern
I've been looking for truth
At the cost of living
I've been afraid
Of what's before mine eyes
Every answer found
Begs another question
The further you go, the less you know
The less I know
I can feel your face
Gonna make it mine
I can be the man
I see in your eyes
Can you take my weight
Are we both too small
Know each other well
We've met before
Will we grow together
Will it be a lie
If it lasts forever, hope I'm the first to die
Will you marry me, Can we meet the cost
Is the power of love worth the pain of loss
Can you pay the bill, will you keep the change
Are you here for the party, or are you here for the pain
I can feel your face
Gonna make it mine
I can be the man
I see in your eyes
Will we grow together
Will it be a lie
If it lasts forever, hope I'm the first to die
Hope I'm the first to die
She dreampt the scene the night before
She cast you in her mind
She made your face of clay and straw
Precious stones for your eyes
We cut the cord that brought you here
We left you on your own
We filled your head with wild ideas
Our beliefs led you on
We leave a trail that's always changed
To keep your hopes alive
This surface may seem calm enough, but underneath
But underneath
We made you feel the way you are is wrong
We made you what you are
You are afraid
If you don't play the game we'll make you change
Ohhh I'll change (X7)
I'll change
I can't believe this happening.
I held it back and now it swings.
Just lead me on.
You know the way.
I know the game
I know the pain
I've been dreaming of gold
I've been dreaming of fame
I've been dreaming of change
Dreaming up tomorrow
Dreaming up tomorrow
Tomorrow.
I have no fear, I have no shame,
But everyone is on the game.
They talk of dreams, they walk in sleep
I'm half away but in too deep
I've been dreaming of fame
I've been dreaming of gold
I've been dreaming of change
Dreaming up tomorrow
Dreaming up tomorrow
Tomorrow.
America is dreaming us.
In a hostage's hands there'll be no fuss.
A messy dream, a dream of youth,
A dream of wealth, no room for truth.
I can see all these preachers and they're standing on next to me.
A hand in the hand and they're waving at me furiously
And I don't know why
No, I don't know why.
I'm standing on the corner and this man is coming up to me
With Bible at his hand and he is bashing at me furiously.
He has a soapbox on his head and says that god is dead to me
I don't know why No,
I don't know why.
I've been dreaming of fame
I've been dreaming of gold
I've been dreaming of change
Dreaming up tomorrow
Tomorrow.
Here she comes with a gun in her hand
A look in her eyes, says you don't understand
And the moon is full, what are you gonna do?
A gun in her hand makes her feel like a man, ooh
Her man is a monkey we've all agreed
This woman's a saint, or at least she's a queen
But if you mess with this angel, the harpy arrives
Talons and wings and a cute 45
He's only human, he's only male
Bound to stray, bound to betrayal
The moon is rising, it's a physical thing
Nothing can hold him, not even the ring
She's only human, only female
Bound to victim, bound to betrayal
The moon is rising, it's a physical thing
She's only acting on the rite of spring
Here she comes with a gun in her hand
A look in her eyes says she don't understand
And the womb is full, what are you gonna do?
A gun in her hand makes her feel like a man, ooh
It's that time again when I lose my friends
Go walkabout, I've got the bends from pressure
This is a testing time when the choice is mine
Am I a fool for love or foolish with desire
And I don't believe you're all I'll ever need
And I need to feel that you're not holding me
but the way I feel just makes me want to scream
Come home, come home, come home
Come home, come home, come home
After thirty years I've become my fears
I've become the kind of man I always hated
I am in love insane with a sense of shame
That I threw stones at the condemned and
Now I'm slated
I may have paid for sex but I was blessed by love
In this land that's ruled by gods of lust and money
And I don't believe you're all I'll ever need
And I need to feel that you're not holding me
but the way I feel just makes me want to scream
Come home, come home, come home
Come home, come home, come home
She said, "Jimmy, just you shut your mouth"
She said, "Shh"
I could escape this feeling with my China girl
I am just a wreck without my little China girl
I hear her heart beat 'loud as thunder
I see stars crashing down
I'm a mess without my China girl
Wake up mornings there's no China girl
I hear hearts beating 'loud as thunder
I see stars crashing down
I feel a tragic like I was Marlon Brando
When I look at my China girl
I could pretend that nothing really meant too much
When I look at my China girl
I stumble into town just like a sacred cow
Visions of swastikas in my head
Plans for everyone
It's in the white of my eyes
My little China girl
You shouldn't mess with me
I'll ruin everything you are
I'll give you television
I'll give you eyes of blue
I'll give you men
Who want to rule the world
And when I get excited
My little China girl says
"Oh, dear, just you shut your mouth"
She says, "Shh"
She says, "Shh"
A diva, a leaver, a lawyer, imagine, imagine
A fever, a vision, derision, imagine, imagine
Someone got hurt, someone got high
Someone got left behind the lies
Someone got hurt, someone got high
Some of them left the rest behind
All of your mail is unaddressed
Cut the Herman free from the Hesse
Crash, crash, crash, crash, crash, crash
A letter, a photo, etcetera, etcetera, a Judas
A hotel, a motel, a motive, imagine, imagine
Someone got hurt, someone got high
Someone got left behind the lies
Someone got hurt, someone got high
Some of them left the rest behind
All of your mail is unaddressed
Cut the Herman free from the Hesse
Crash, crash, crash, crash, crash, crash
This is hell, this is hell
Crash, crash, crash, crash, crash, crash
Crash, crash, crash, crash, crash, crash
Do you really wanna go on like this
Do you really wanna go on like this
Do you really wanna go on like this
Do you really wanna go on like this
High voice, deep inside
Witness what you think you hide
I will race you through emotions
If you let me in
I made an armour plated suit
You put your lips to helmet slits
Try to suck me out the tin
I can't get out, I'm welded in
I'd run away, too brave for tears
Or sitting still to see
What lives behind the enemy lines
When you have torn away the screen
High voice, deep inside
Witness what you think you hide
I will race you through emotions
If you let me in
That body's naked as the mind
The bruises mark the site of blows
Inside my suit my body's fine
When I last looked like mine
I'd run away, too brave for tears
Or sitting still to see
What lives behind the enemy lines
When you have torn away the screen
I'm going deeper and deeper in debt
Deeper and deeper in debt
Deeper and deeper and deeper and deeper in debt
I'm not the only one in chains
I hear you creaking when it rains
Under pressure, under stress
I see you through your holy vest
That body's naked as you mind
When I last looked, it looked like mine
Oh look at the chain mail and his body guard
Look at the chain mail and his shoddy body guard
Look at the chain mail and his body guard
Chain mail
Chain mail
Chain mail
Chain mail
I'd run away
Brave for tears
And sitting still to see
What lives behind
The enemy lines
When you have torn away
When you have torn away
"Execute them" [4x]
*Street Life sample played in the background*
"Slang bang to wax, torture pack, pump it to max
Till your heart collapse, fully auto rap
Might lose your eye sight, blood type, a-alike
Snake bite, gorge on this mic, I live to right the hype"[Street Life]
[Raekwon]
Yeah, y'all mothafuckers know, turn my shit up mothafucker
Wild the fuck out, word up fuck the radio
1998 word up, whippin illegal on y'all beagle-lookin mothafuckers
Yo, James spin off, slang dames wanna hit off
Check this Slovak lock it down, lames get off
Jury match, range rack, fists of fury-act
Don po, six hundred glow, Wally mack poly like that
It's real ("Execute Them"), diabolical
Logical, strange chokehold, kill is possible
Flip a wig blindfold, rewind the scroll
Clip full-mo, flip on the glow, blow
Rock a arm-fold, tourist a bull report
Sit back, calmful, tibble and cold war
Hailin from my neck down, rounds flip clowns
Buyin a loyal bitch gowns, go down, fuck them clowns
While we healin, minds, wheelin labs wit cathedral ceilings
Dry a hitman for hire, alien flyer
"Slang bang to wax, slang bang to wax, slang slang bang to wax
Torture pack"
What what, step up, throw your sword up
[Masta Killa]
Aiyyo witness the abduction, bill of destruction
Blood rushin, from a universal standpoint
Acknowledge shorties bustin, but they gotta come son
Before they can test my steel
I send a grandson to let em feel one, bodies not worth my gun
Peace Sudan, w-w-MastaKill.com, heavily armed
We roam, through the dark damp litter of the forest
Floor lies dough, wit a c-note, throw em overboat
Slit his stomach so the body won't float
The vigilant, infinite patient I stand as command in chief
Mad thorough, competition's intense for every inch of the borough
"Slang bang to wax, torture pack, pump it to the max
Till your heart collapse, fully auto rap (2x)"
"Might lose your eyesight, bloodtype, a-alike
Snake bite, gorge on this mic, I live to write the hype

[Inspectah Deck]
Murder verser, twenty bean rap fiend server
Rhymes nurse your mind, bustin like twin burners
Certified lah, five million eyes left wide
Inside we split the grand prize
Won it by a landslide,? damn's fly? the rest
They bettin contest but they pose no threat
Street corner warrior, cause crowd disorder
And glide like rollerblades 'cross your recorders
Soldier of fortune lost in the madness
Brandish your weapon or get dropped to the canvas
Po' bandit hold the belt single-handed
Most Demanded Assassin is what I'm branded
Far from your standard, universally
Planted jewels in the minds of fools left stranded
One man hit force, my shirt ripped off
Squeeze a full clip to kill the bullshit then I dip off
"Slang bang, slang bang to wax (Execute Them)
Torture pack, pump it to the max till your heart collapse
Fully auto rap, might lose your eyesight, bloodtype a-alike
Snake bite, gorge on this mic, I live to write the hype"
"Execute them" [2x]
"Slang bang to wax, torture pack pump it to max till your heart collapse"

Rain, rain¡¯s floating down again
Surround your mind
Soft cloud, take me around again
On your rain
My dreams tell me everything
Surprise around
Call out your name
I need help again
For all love brigade
What you was, said is sure
Running on the seventh floor
Do it all, let it slide
Breathe yourself goodbye
See it all through the wall
Living outside again
Need a long way to go
Said you our escape
I died, when you fall again
Say out
I lied
I love feeling small again
I've been digging this grave, but now that it's made
I see that black is one hell of a colour
Want to break out so I start to shout
But the mortician's returned to his parlour
Black hole
Wrapped in my shroud upstairs, the music's so loud
That I can't concentrate on my sorrow
Let down my hair and find something to wear
And then dance myself into tomorrow
Black hole
I'm in a hole here and all I can see
Are these grey walls that are closing in on me
Throw me a ladder, lend me an arm
Beam me up Scotty, lift me from harm
Oh why, why deep holes?
Oh I love my holes
Black hole
If the weather would change these clouds might blow away
And my body'd be wrapped up in sunshine
I want out of this wind that is wearing me thin
Blasting my flesh to the marrow
Why dig holes?
Why deep holes?
Everybody wants to be happy
Everybody wants more money
Everybody wants more loving
Everybody wants the same thing
I came across the border through the east and the west divide
The land between the trenches was patrolled by the deaf and the blind
The blind were shouting 'listen!'
While the deaf said 'can't you see? '
Somewhere deep in no man's land some man has lost a key
I open up into this mystery
I have seen
I have seen
I have seen
There's centuries of fighting so I brought myself a gun
The salesman called it 'freedom' so my enemy bought a bigger one
I'm saving up for a missile that will shoot him up with love
Now his finger's on my button and my hand is in his glove
I opened up into this mystery
Every key can lock you up or set you free
I believe that there is magic in this mystery
I have seen
I have seen
I have seen
Everybody wants to be happy
Everybody wants more money
Everybody wants the same thing
I have seen
I have seen
I have seen
I have seen
I have seen
I have seen

You talk of knowing someone
When you know nothing of them.
See only surface detail,
You just don't understand.
An answer to your question:
There is no understanding.
There's only different viewpoints
From wherever you stand.
Lazy,
We won't understand.
We're so lazy.
I could just lie here thinking
Of things I should be doing.
I've got my head a-growing
To the size of a hill.
I cannot see you clearly.
My viewpoints are disjointed.
I'm getting shorter-sighted,
Just like television.
Lazy,
We won't understand.
We're so lazy.
We won't work.
We will not work
At something we don't
Feel familiar with.
We won't work.
We will not work.
We're just so lazy.
Make no effort of understanding.
Frozen stiff by your aqua field.
Recieving messages loud and clear,
being...
Lazy,
We won't understand.
We're so lazy.
Lazy.
Lazy.
Nobody knows
Nobody knows

Your heart hurts here
Your heart hurts here
Your heart hurts here
When you come to me
Don't forget your feelings
I've got nothing you you might need
I'm always bleeding
Oh don't you excite me
And please don't explain
There is no meaning here
Just potential for gain
You've got infinite patience
And the scent of the sea
Love these days when I'm near you
Watering hole, watering hole
Why did you lie to me
Did you lie to me
Why did you say those things
You didn't mean
My heart hurts here
My heart hurts here
What a wonderful fever
I'd had nothing but rain
We just made a decision
It's pain
It's pain
It's pain
I've got nothing to hold you
Got no chest to contain
You're a cave full of treasure
To be loving when the knives are out
Takes much courage and a mind without doubt
I'm just some robot, wind up the clockwork jerk
Trying to impress is the nature of my work
And it's so hard to remain open
If it's true, it can't be spoken
Really hard
Really hard
Rhetoriticians think they're running this show
Words as power is all they'll ever know
I'm just some reflex, when struck, the knee will jerk
Trying to impress is the nature of our work
And it's so hard to remain open
If you bend, you won't get broken
Really hard
Really hard
Wake up from this dreaming state
A long scream out, it's not too late
I am dying to begin
I am dying to begin again
Really hard
Caught in the long grass, got separated from his company
Those men he thought were friends turned out to be the enemy
Their uniforms were black not brown, they marched to a different step
But he soon tuned in to their frequency
By shifting up one fret
But the one thing that united them
Was they all had life to give
But it wasn't their intention to serve that way, but to kill so they may live
We are sound, we are sound, we are sound
Set them marching, stop them thinking
Psyche them up with your will
Stir them up with frantic rhythm
Send them out to kill, kill, kill, kill kill
We are sound we are sound we are sound
Back in human form, skin tight uniform, caught upon the barbed wire
Back in human form, skin tight uniform, crucified upon the barbed wire
The wire
Knock Knock Knock
My house is always open
Why shield myself with
Quills and feints and lies
I can put on quite a show
But inside I'm broken
Porcupine
Porcupine
Here it comes again
Please don't stop
You'll get past my defenses
My body armour's plated over time
I got away with it once
But I soon became addicted
Porcupine porcupine
At the edge of the world
Leave my things by the door
I surrender control
Diving into the fall
On my back's the weight
Of my offences
You're a skunk and
I'm a porcupine
Our weaponary's evolved
From the heightened senses
Porcupine
Porcupine
At the edge of the world
Leave my things by the door
I surrender control
Dust motes in a beam of light
They slow down time
Snowflake on a black wool glove
Melting in the sunlight
Dust motes in a beam of light
You left without a fight
Dust motes in a beam of light, they slow down time
It's cold outside
I'll forgive you
I'll forgive you
I'll forgive you
Your transgressions
There's a vulture at the end of my bed
It's 5 a.m., it thinks I'm dead
There's a vulture at the end of my bed
Against the window, in silhouette
There's a vulture would have me asleep
It's looking at me like I'm some piece of meat
I'll forgive you
I'll forgive you
If you die
If you die
Everybody says I'll be alright
I don't think so
Cried over my supper
It revived, got off the table, started to fly
If you die
If you die
I'll forgive you
I'll forgive you
I'll forgive you
Dust motes in a beam of light
So I'm on my own
Far from my broken home
And it costs
Feels like 10 below
Pack me off to school
Innocence and trust
Are all lost
Where did my childhood go
Calling from the payphone
Trying not to cry
Feeling I am dying
Telling you I'm fine
You tell me it's the making of me
That's a fucking lie
When's the holidays
Holidays
Holiday
I'm at the bottom of my bed
Headphones on my head
John Peel's show
Feels like 10 below
The sky's a dull gun metal
Where did the sun
And it rains and rains
Feels like 10 below
Turning on the weaker ones
When we were bored
I used to have feelings
But all I feels a hole
Is where the heart is
And the organ praise the lord
When's the holidays
Holidays
Holiday
He's at war
He's at war
With himself at the world
He's at war
He will strike first to anticipate
He's at war
Don't know how to relate
Feel like a cold war spy
If I's caught
It's hot enough
Within this bed (to try an egg)
To melt our differences
A leap of faith
This fiery love
Dissolves the edge
Creates a bridge
A leap of faith
It's hot inside the chrysalis
As cells create (divide)
A dreamy (creamy) bliss
A leap of faith
And out of this
A floating kiss
Life loves, to exist
Hangover after the party
Tunnel vision Virtual saviour Inner vision for all mankind They found a new drug that might just save you Stops you thinking Never mind
Now I've been dwelling on doubts and failures I've been striking the band I'm trying to focus on things I'm proud of Stand stand stand Stand stand (stand)
Deal a card I'll take my chances Some suspicion The ace is palmed They found a new drug down in Mesapotania Ruritania or some such land
Now I've been dwelling on doubts and failures I've been striking the band I'm trying to focus on things I'm proud of Stand stand stand You've got to stand stand stand You've got to stand stand stand You've got to stand stand stand
Out on the freeway Counting fences Measuring life I left behind Time is the distance between me and my feelings Fenced in feelings Pass with time
On a machine like this
Everybody gets their hands oily
Smoke filled room
Nobody's lungs stay clean
But there's a difference between
A swim and a wallow
Gives out a clue to how things might have been
Ask for perfection
P-p-p-people aren't like that
Any fool can see
Who are you to laugh at me?
I am still
Standing on the chicken wire
Daren't look down
But try and inch a little higher
Friends on the ground
Say "come on it, the water's fine"
But I can see their frozen smiles from here
When you give give give yourself to something
Is there anything left you can call your own
If I give give give give my body to someone
Can I keep keep keep a part for me
Oh keep a part for me
Oh leave some piece that's free
I'll do anything to please you
I'll do anything to please you
But take me take me please
I'm asking, but I'm down on my knees
You're warm, a home, a place to hide
You're warm, a home, a place to hide
You're warm, a home, a place to hide
A place to hide
Pity, pity me
Pity, pity me
You might laugh-ha ha ha when it doesn't affect you
While I cry-oh oh oh for all to see
Come on and laugh-ha ha ha when it doesn't affect you
While I cry stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop stop
Stop
The sun is up
The sun is high
The sun is in your eye
You're shades they mirror everything
They're leaving me quite blind
This game is up
We've had enough
And we can compromise
Take those glasses off your face
I want to see your eyes
I read a book
A funny book
A book about your life
You call yourself a free man
But all you did was time
When time will judge
And time will heal
And time will bury us all
And now you're in your coffin
With a satellite dish installed
Only this other fool surrounds you
Only this other fool surrounds you
You have no one to love Only this other fool surrounds you
Only this other fool surrounds you
Only this other fool surrounds you
Oh, Charlie, don't dance dance dance
Your head's in a whirl
In a blind romance
Oh Charlie, look away look away
Do you believe what the good doctor says
Now there's rumors in the city that the banks might close
Close for a long holiday
And the papers are full of a new meltdown
Hold your breath, for the winds are all change
Oh, no, Charlie dance dance
Oh, go, Charlie dance dance
Oh, Charlie dance dance
The minister says, put your hands on your head
Try and breath through your nose
Flat on the floor, bum in the air
Let's all do the death throes
Don't drink the milk, but the water is fine
The cows got caught in the rain
Charlie, believe what the government says
They don't moo anymore, but I'm sure they're not dead
Don't chew anymore, but I'm sure they're not dead
Oh, go Charlie dance dance
Glazed eyes turning away
Is it true you're seeing him again?
E-mail swiftly erased
Is it true you're seeing him again?
I caught you on the telephone
You've no answer to my question
Who's on the line?
You were crying on the telephone
Is it me, is it him?
Show me how to survive
Can't afford to divorce
I'm so scared, show me how
To accept we've run our course
Loved you the best of our years
We'll survived the sting in this tale
Last call, numbers erased
We'll survived the sting in this tale
After dark when you got home
You were walking, said you're walking down by the pier
Feel that I'm the last to know
There's the children, not the children
Show me how to survive
Can't afford to divorce
I'm so scared, show me how
To accept we've run our course
Blindfold my love
Adjust to betrayal of trust
Blindfold my love
Adjust to betrayal of trust
You left a message on my answer phone
There is something you can't tell me
Don't have much time
Test came back and doctor said
There's no answer to the cancer
I've seen your mouth moving, heard others here say,
Those words are a piece of a part that you played
That sounds like your father, a teacher, the church
Didn't spring from the heart, but research
The only way I learn is put the fist in and get burned
Go get burned
Old wives, mystics, hearsay
Wise men, rich men, shamen and sage
When you're meek on the Earth, when you die you will pay
For accepting that lot, in the cheapest of graves
The sexes divided, men mustn't be weak
Sensitivity is a vice of which we shan't speak
And women are a plaything that are just made for men
To treat how the boss he respects treats him
And I am going to grow up like daddy wanted me to be
To impress all those, who so impressed me
And young boys melt into men
And we'll start the process again
Add a touch of mystique where the writing gets weak
Break up coherence with a cut-cut-cut up technique
When you've got nothing to say
Shut up or show that you're willing to play
With words that simply aren't out of touch
With the genuine feelings which lead to their birth
Most things are better not written or heard
When you open your mouth, out drops a turd
Scared kids, you're all the same You just live to fly again Your age shows
Dead flies on the bumper tonight Sore skin, your knuckles gone white Your name is the neighbourhood scum Say your name, it's the neighbourhood scum
My baby, born forty eight Robbed a car and fled the state Your name is the neighbourhood scum
Hit the stars on the way tonight Smashed the car when you jumped the lights Your name is the neighbourhood scum Say your name, it's the neighbourhood scum
I sing myself to sleep
A song from the darkest hour
Secrets I can't keep
Insight of the day
I swing from high to deep
Extremes of sweet of sour
Hope that God exists
I hope I pray
Drawn by the undertow
My life is out of control
I believe this wave will bear my weight
So let it flow
Oh sit down Oh sit down Oh sit down
Sit down next to me
Sit down down down down down in symapthy
Now I’m relieved to hear
That you’ve been to some far out places
It’s hard to carry on
When you feel all alone
Now I’ve swung back down again
It’s worse than it was before
If I hadn’t seen such riches
I could live with being poor
Oh sit down
Oh sit down
Oh sit down
Sit down next to me
Sit down, down, down, down, down
In sympathy
Those who feel the breath of sadness
Sit down next to me
Those who find they’re touched by madness
Sit down next to me
Those who find themselves ridiculous
Sit down next to me
In love, in fear, in hate, in tears
In love, in fear, in hate, in tears
In love, in fear, in hate, in tears
In love, in fear, in hate
Down
Down
Oh sit down
Oh sit down
Oh sit down
Sit down next to me
Sit down, down,down,down, down
In sympathy
Oh sit down
Oh sit down
Oh sit down
Sit down next to me
Sit down,down,down,down,down
In sympathy
Well I see the prophet And the foward fake And I hold it to your eyes
And the wind is spurned To the trees And spurning on your charms
And the ways are laughing on On your door And the man is coming all old
And when when the crime is over Who is safe Who is safe And who is gospel oak
On the glamorous night Each cragged end And the murderer core survived
From the tunes today It's sold your space And I don't know your crime
From the board is slain And honoured tall And the wind it is so cold
And they're dueling on a foreign race Foreign race Foreign raced it all
So make cupped to me now It's a long long lazy raves down streets' names
Don't give yer cap to me now From the raging cloth and the ranging klaxon changed
Raise down Your soul Your down In bloom Raise down Hear slay On and on Human race
Don't give up on me now No don't give up on me now Now now so alone
Ladies and gentlemen, here's my disease
Give me a standing ovation and your sympathy
Poor old johnny yen set himself on fire again
See the jeaned genie on his high-wire act
At the back of his mind lies a suicide pact
Poor old johnny yen set himself on fire again
See the young men itching to burn
Waiting for their own star turn
Needing danger, a war would do
If they can't let it out, they'll pick on you
Poor old johnny yen set himself on fire again
See houdini and his underwater tricks
You were sitting at the front, hoping his locks would stick
Watch knievel hit the 17th bus
You got crushed in the souvenir rush
Poor old johnny yen set himself on fire again
I said poor old johnny yen set himself on fire again
See the young men itching to burn
Waiting for their own star turn
Needing danger, a war would do
If they can't let it out, they'll pick on you
Poor old johnny yen set himself on fire again
Ladies and gentlemen, here's my disease
Give me a standing ovation and your sympathy
Come on, somebody, finish him off please
Put the poor fool out of his misery, will you
Can't you see he's had enough?
Finish him off, somebody
This bed is on fire
With passionate love
The neighbours complain about the noises above
But she only comes when she's on top
My therapist said not to see you no more
She said you're like a disease without any cure
She said I'm so obsessed that I'm becoming a bore, oh no
Ah, you think you're so pretty
Caught your hand inside the till
Slammed your fingers in the door
Fought with kitchen knives and skewers
Dressed me up in womens clothes
Messed around with gender roles
Dye my eyes and call me pretty
Moved out of the house, so you moved next door
I locked you out, you cut a hole in the wall
I found you sleeping next to me, I thought I was alone
My mirror's laughing at me
Says, Boy, are you getting old?
There's so much junk in your life
What you've got you don't even know
Don't take a phone company
To tell you life's pay as you go
I wonder how much of life
Is set up in útero
Under the waterfall
Under the waterfall
Under the waterfall
It's cool and cold and clear
Watching too much TV
I'm an actor in a puppet show
There's so much stuff in my life
No room for me to grow
One day I'm going to break from my life
Due south down to Mexico
I'm going to burn down my house
It's the only way to let it go
Under the waterfall
Under the waterfall
Under the waterfall
It's cool and cold and clear
Run your hands 'cross the flanks of a horse
Feel the pulse of blood, the heat and the force
It's an antidote to a life spent on the beat
The beat of concrete, the beat of machines
Of mobile phones and plasma screens
How much junk in my life do I really need?
Under the waterfall
Under the waterfall
Under the waterfall
It's cool and cold and clear
I'm so cynical
Where I need to play
I'm so cynical, find another way
I'm so cynical, I can't change
One drop is lonely
Two drops okay
Three drops can make a spray
Four drops get carried away
D I V E
Under the waterfall
Under the waterfall
Under the waterfall
It's cool and cold and clear
Under the waterfall
Under the waterfall
Under the waterfall
It's cool and cold and clear
Drifting through the atmosphere
Through the afterglow
Witnessing 1,000 lives I'll blow
Where the wind blows
Falling in between the lines
Never fitting in
Someone tell me what's my crime
Too thin, I'm too thin
Due to come back down
Due to come back down
Don't wanna, don't wanna land
Due to come back down
Due to come back down
I don't wanna, don't wanna land
Don't wanna, don't wanna land
Land, land
This time I've a staring role
Hide the shape I'm in
I'm too old to sacrifice for gold and skin
For gold and skin, for gold, for gold
Down, don't want to come back
Down, don't want to land
Down, don't want to come down
Down don't want to land
Down, don't want to come down
Down don't want to land
Down, don't want to come back
Down don't want to land
Drifting through the atmosphere
Floating through this land
Sifting through 1,000 years of sand
All sand
Drifting through the atmosphere
Floating through this land
Sifting through 1,000 years of sand
All sand
Drifting through the atmosphere
Floating through this land
Sifting through 1,000 years of sand
All sand
Send seasonal greetings from nowhere
I'm working and playing away
Remember the moment of leaving
Yesterday, yesterday
Roll through these towns
Over seas, over mountains
Lucky to work
When work is scarce
Father must feed
Must provide
He must fountain
Left my heart within your care
Upside, love you
Downside, miss you
I'm here you are there
Upside, working
Downside, hurting
Hear my echo dancing bear
Connected to you by a mobile
What I can't do, I can say
Away from you, I'm feeling empty
I am raining, I am gray
Upside, love you
Downside, miss you
I'm here you are there
Upside, working
Downside, hurting
Hear my echo dancing bear
My work's about words
And sounds you can taste
Violins and trumpets
Chocolate cakes
Here are some words
Words you can taste
Here are some words
Kissing your face
Upside, love you
Downside, miss you
I'm here you are there
Upside, working
Downside, hurting
Hear my echo dancing bear
Found a message in the sand
It read, ?Just do the best you can?
This world's not how I planned
You're on your own
No one can hear you
They're just talkin' all the time
There's the world and you're outside
Your home's hard to find
Your home's hard to find
Worn down by strangers
All you need's a friend
You've been worn down by strangers
This is not the end
Guess it's hard to settle down
When love's been spread all around the town
I'm no stranger to this room
My highs just serve to bring me down
I hope to change now
From a sorry state of mind
I had hoped for heart to heart
My heart's hard to find
My heart's hard to find
Worn down by strangers
All you need's a friend
You've been worn down by strangers
This is not the end
This is not the end
Worn down by strangers
All you need's a friend
You've been worn down by strangers
All you need's a friend
By strangers
By strangers
By strangers
This is not the end
This is not the end
Break my shape in light I trust
None exist save space and dust
None exist just lights in time
Space divides the borderline, borderline
Space between and space inside
My four walls, my shape defines, space defines
You've gotta get over yourself
You've gotta get out of the frame
Gotta learn to see yourself a total stranger
You've gotta get out of the frame
You've gotta give yourself a brand new name
Gotta learn to see yourself a total stranger
It's a shock to my system
To wind up back where I have come from
It's a crime in my child's eyes
To find out life is in disguise
You've gotta get over yourself
You've gotta get out of the frame
Gotta learn to see yourself a total stranger
You've gotta get out of the frame
You've gotta give yourself a brand new name
Gotta learn to see yourself a total stranger
It's a shock to my system
To wind up back where I have come from
It's a crime in my child's eyes
To find out in life's disguise
Oh no, all gone, all gone
Nothing to hold me down
No, all gone, all gone
Nothing to hold me down
No, I'm gone, I'm gone
Nothing to hold me down
No, I'm gone, I'm gone
Nothing to hold me down
Calling ,calling, calling you to see through me
Calling ,calling, calling you to see through me
Calling ,calling, calling you to see through me
Sometimes(lester Piggott) lyrics
Theres a storm outside and the gap
between crack and thunder, crack and thunder
it's closing in. it's closing in
The rain floods gutters and makes a great sound on concrete
On a flat roof theres a boy leaning
against a wall of rain
aerial held high, calling
"come on thunder come on thunder"
Sometimes, when I look deep in your eyes I swear I can see your soul
Sometimes, when I look deep in your eyes I swear I can see your soul
its a monsoon, the rain lifts lids
off cars spinning busses like toys
stripping them to chrome
Across the bay the waves are turning
into something else. Picking up fishing
boats and spuing them on the shore
The boys hit, lit up against the sky
like a sign, like a neon sign.
Then he crumbles, drops into the gutter, cut string, legs twitching
the flood swells his clothes and delivers him on, delivers him on,
delivers him on
Sometimes, when I look deep in your eyes I swear I can see your soul
Sometimes, when I look deep in your eyes I swear I can see your soul
Theres 4 new colors in the rainbow
an old man takes polaroids but
all he captures in endless rain, endless rain, endless rain
He says listen, takes my head, puts
my ear to his and I swear I
can hear the sea.
Sometimes, when I look in your eyes I can see your soul
Sometimes, when I look in your eyes I can see your soul
Adore this life
There is no guarantee
Could end by tomorrow
Adore every fight
An opportunity
To give back what was borrowed
Nothing's sacred, make it shatter
Nothing's sacred, fall apart
Oh my heart, oh my heart
Come on, break me in two
Oh my heart, oh my heart
Come on, break me in two
Bring on the dreams
I'm shaking with relief
Don't miss the darker scenes
These roller coaster screams
Are breaking my belief
That I should matter
Oh my heart, oh my heart
Come on break me in two
Oh my heart, oh my heart
Come on break me in two
I don't own anything
Just this life living me
No control, refugee
Just this life living me
I don't know anything
Just this life loving me
No control, refugee
Just this life, living me
Oh my heart, oh my heart
Come on break
Come on break
Come on break
Stray cats with fish heads
Feeding their litters
Feral kids fight over rats
Tailed from gutters
Bookie mouth brokers
Rotten fruit sellers
Pickpockets
Ghost through the crowd
He climbs onto boxes
By market stall traders
Toothless and gray haired
Thousand yard stare
He had a vision
Which broke the receiver
Receiving transmission
Surface to air
Either way, I'm in awe of you
Either way, we'll survive, we'll survive
Conjuring devils
Angels and demons
Only the children
See shape to his tone
Laughing and crying
His song fell upon us
We buried his treasure
Along with the bones
Arms held aloft
A Y to the sky
Innocent witness
He testified
Drained of his purpose
He falls off the quayside
Absorbed by the ocean
Rolled by the tide
Either way, I'm in awe of you
Either way, we'll survive
Either way, I'm in awe of you
Either way, we'll survive
We'll survive
Under the power lines
Which crackle and sparkle
Under the freeway
Now, mostly rubble
The hungry still gather
To fill up with stories
Of monsters and heroes and men
Under the stars
Which prick us and call us
Connect us to hope
That perfection's within is
Here on the ground
We're reckless and hopeless
Damned by the slip of a pen
Rambling poets
Manic with vision
We are the drivers
Yet we feel driven
Moths in the moonlight
Fooled by a flashlight
Caught in a jam jar
Gasping for air
Rambling poets
Manic with vision
We are the drivers
Yet we feel driven
Moths in the moonlight
Fooled by a flashlight
Caught in a jam jar
Gasping for air
Either way, I'm in awe of you
Either way, we'll survive
We'll survive
I may as well try semaphore
As words no longer work
This fool was feeling cornered
And he acted like a jerk
He'd tell you he was sorry
If that made good the hurt
It's too late now, for sorry
It's too late now, for words
We survive, despite our desire to stray
Hell to pay
Thought you knew my desires
Innate it's not going away
I hope you're not going away
It's a question of convenience
How pain, with time, will fade
Surrendered to acceptance
Dark night gives way to day
It was meant to be a gesture
That mark across your face
It's too late now, for sorry
It's too late now, for grace
We survive despite our desire to stray
Hell to pay
Thought you knew my desires
Innate it's not going away
Hell to pay
Thought you knew
Hell to pay
Thought you knew
Thought you knew
Thought you knew
Now, the towers have fallen
So much dust in the air
It affected your vision
Couldn't see yourself clear
From the fall came such choices
Even worse than the fall
There's this chain of consequences
Within, without
Action, cause and reaction
Never follows to plan
Black swans on your picnic table
Knocking over the jam
Please don't preach me forgiveness
You're hardwired for revenge
War is just about business
Within, without
Hey ma, the boy's in body bags
Coming home in pieces
Hey ma, the boy's in body bags
Coming home in pieces
Hey ma, the boy's in body bags
Coming home in pieces
Coming home in pieces
The dead live on within us
(In the atoms we trust)
Keep your fingers crossed
We were choking on the smoke and the dust
And the lives that were lost
Scratch the surface of liberals
There's a beast underneath
Others hiding their Jekyll's
Within, without
Hey ma, the boy's in body bags
Coming home in pieces
Hey ma, the boy's in body bags
Coming home in pieces
I can feel the daylight
I can feel the daylight
Raining on me
Raining on me
I'm a boomerang in the outback
Keep your throwing arm steady
So I get home
I'm a vampire bat out in Shanghai
Haven't eaten in four days
I've ordered in a Chinese takeaway
I show more than I hide
I care more than I cry
I'm a phonograph, baby
My wires are live and I'm in crisscross
Fine, fine, I feel fine, fine
I'm a fortune cookie
Full of cheap advice
I'm a suicide rookie
Blowing last call
Show more than I hide
Care more than I can cry
I'm a phonograph, baby
My wires are live and I'm in crisscross
Fine, fine, I feel fine, fine
I feel fine, fine, I feel fine, fine
I feel fine, fine, I feel fine, fine
You and me, play this song, the vision
Hope to make this love stretch forever
Don't let go in this, now or never
Hope there's change enough to say
Hello, it's over
Hello, it's over
Hello, it's over
Hello
You must say what you're thinking
I'm no mind reader of the stars
We won't get any older, it's so fleeting
I am lost when I'm torn from your heart
Hello, it's over
Hello, it's over
Hello, hello
Somebody dreams a brave new world
I'm forbidden to breathe its pearl
Late summer evening, late summer scene
Come together to make this dream
Hello, it's over
Hello, it's over
Hello, hello
It's over
All but the sea
Are you aching for the blade?
That's OK, we're insured
Are you aching for the grave?
That's OK, we're insured
We're getting away with it all messed up
Getting away with it all messed up
That's the living
Daniel's saving Grace
She's out in deep water
Hope he's a good swimmer
Daniel plays his ace
Deep inside his temple
He knows how to serve her
We're getting away with it all messed up
Getting away with it all messed up
That's the living
We're getting away with it all messed up
Getting away with it all messed up
That's the living
Daniel drinks his weight
Drinks like Richard Burton
Dance like John Travolta
Daniel's saving Grace
He was all but drowning
Now they live like dolphins
We're getting away with it all messed up
Getting away with it all messed up
That's the living
We're getting away with it all messed up
Getting away with it all messed up
That's the living (Repeat)
Getting away with it
We're getting away with it
You might as well surrender now
You'll never hold that stance
With all my words, I can't find one
To help you understand
It's not too late, take up the cup
Put down your weapons and choose
But you say life's so unfair
All you say is life's so unfair
Oh, you can ill afford to hold to these views
Oh, you need something to blame
But it's you, yes, it's you, it's your truth
Someone made you
I don't know if you're sick
I comfort, you runaway
My sympathy, you twist it
You're reflex, gets in the way
You mother me, I son you
You act up, I can't get through
These footsteps so ancient
In your eyes, I'm your infant
Your ancient full circle
In my eyes, you're my infant
Dead ball in our court
We've got a dead ball in our court
You just say life's so unfair
Yes, you just say, "Life's so unfair"
You need something to blame
You're going to murder in the name of God
What kind of God you dreaming of
A God of blood, not love
So, you can get your 72
Virgins to abuse
I hope they kick like mules
My God's bigger than your God
He made the world run out of puff
More important things to do
It's black, it's white, a fight
An elephant gray
There's a universe at stake
We get in the way
Go left, go right, straight on
Just do what they say
There's a universe at stake
We get in the way
Take an axe to your past
To your family tree
Carve a face from the wood
An effigy
Make wings from the leaves
Hide from the bark
Kindling for the hair
Rose for his heart
Someone to draw you right
Someone to catch the light
Draw the blue from the skies
Into his eyes
Carve the lines on his face
A map of the race
Juice from the root
Of a beet for his skin
Set the tides of the blood
With the pulse of the drum
Someone to draw you right
Someone to catch the light
I'm alive, I'm alive
Wash the boy in the stream
So tenderly
Press his lips to your lips
Give him your breath
He awakes with the weight
Of the vision he holds
Sees the rent in time
Through which he must fold
Someone to draw you right
Someone to catch the light
I'm alive, I'm alive
Stir the heart with a drum
Kiss smoke in his mouth
Show him signs of a life
That's a whole lot better
And he calls down the rain
Tornadoes and hurricanes
There's a world in his veins
That's a whole lot better
I'm alive, I'm alive
Fingers raised to the sky
A snake for a spine
He's drunk on a life
That's a whole lot better
Teach him songs of the bees
Double helix and honey comb
Play him wind through the leaves
That's a whole lot better
Alive, I'm alive
Five nights, no sleep
My minds battered
Stock market free-fall
Dreams shattered
Lost cause, pulled up
A sure winner
Made a few bob, in a new job
As a serial killer
You wanna talk to me, white boy, man
You wanna talk to me, white boy, boy, man
You wanna talk to me, white boy, man
Every night microwaved TV dinners
Mobile phones make her brain shimmer
Don't say the c word she got the all clear
That jokes bad taste and so dog eared
My mum says I look like Yul Brynner
Too old for Hamlet, too young for Lear
Got a shaved head, lost weight, fakir
Got a pierced lip 'cause it's still hip to appear queer
You wanna talk to me, white boy, man
You wanna talk to me, white boy, boy, man
You wanna talk to me, white boy, man
And I'm all mashed up
Mum's droning on and on and on and on
And I'm all mashed up
Mum's droning on and on and on and on
She wants this, she wants that
She wants bling, she wants tat
She wants creams
That can cover the cracks
Wedded bliss, cancer scans
She wants family man
Self-esteem and her old body back
She says
Help comes
when you need it most
I'm cured by laughter
Mood swings - not sure I can cope
My life's in plaster, in plaster
May your mind be wide open
May your heart beat strong
May your minds will be broken
By this heart filled song
These wounds are all self-imposed
Life's no disaster
All roads lead onto death row
Who knows what's after
May your mind be wide open
May your heart beat strong
May your minds will be broken
By this heartfelt song
May your mind set you free
May your heart lead you on
May your mind let you be
May your heart lead you on
I hold a vision that all visions are impure
The rising of the serpent the apple and the fall
Don't trust the angels may be devils in disguise
Don't trust the preacher for all his words don't make him wise
There are no promises that anyone can keep
The future's full of secrets
The past can never keep
Yes I know, I'm falling down
This incline is far too steep
Tell me when I hit the ground
You're too high for me to reach
We can weather unchartered oceans
Though the map reads, lost at sea
When we breakthrough or get broken
Will you stand here close to me, close to me
You are the universe and God knows I'm the fool
I've journeyed round the outer worlds to return home to you
I've found a lover knows me better than myself
Sees through all my subtle lies and touches me to health
We can weather unchartered oceans
Though the map reads lost at sea
When we breakthrough or get broken
Will you stand here close to me
We can weather unchartered oceans
Though the map reads lost at sea
When we breakthrough or get broken
Will you stand here close to me
Here come the choices
It's consume or be consumed
Jump if you feel crazy
So you thought we were over
Surprise, surprise
We're not going anywhere
So you fell on your sword again
Tell me what the view's like
Deep down in your carpet
You were straight, you were straight
Now you're twisted
You're right, you're right
Burn the joint to leave the waking
(Hello, surprise)
Don't you turn
Turn out your light
(Hello, surprise)
Surprise, surprise
(Hello, surprise)
Don't you turn
Your day into night
(Hello, surprise)
Surprise, surprise
We all prayed
We all prayed you'd rise again
From the hard shoulder
What the doctor ordered
Gotta fix, gotta fix what's not broken
All broke, all broke, I'm busted
Hey, twenty one and overs
(Hello, surprise)
Don't you turn
Turn out your light
(Hello, surprise)
Surprise, surprise
(Hello, surprise)
Don't you turn
Your day into night
(Hello, surprise)
Surprise, surprise
Still not satisfied
Still not satisfied
Still not satisfied
Still not satisfied
Falling backwards into darkness
Loving, reckless, hiding distress
I've got a message for you
You're the one who makes it come true
(Hello, surprise)
Don't you turn
Turn out your light
(Hello, surprise)
Surprise, surprise
(Hello, surprise)
Don't you turn
Your day into night
(Hello, surprise)
Surprise, surprise
Still not satisfied
(Hello, surprise)
Still not satisfied
Still not satisfied
(Hello, surprise)
Still not satisfied
Still not satisfied
Still not satisfied
Still not satisfied
Falling, falling into you
Falling, no parachute
You lost all self-control
We don't know which way you might go
I found a map you left
No use, can't tell east from west
Heading out on this mercy trail
You look so strong, feel so frail
Need a friend in this barren land
All your approaches have failed
Hope you come through
Falling, falling into you
Falling, no parachute
Are you receiving me?
Read my lips, a foreign language
I'm not deceiving you
Take my hand, it's a bridge
Heading out on this mercy trail
You look so strong, feel so frail
See the world through a preachers eyes
Now all of your preaching has failed
Hope you come through
Someone has stolen your horse
Hitch a ride, 'cause it's far, too far to walk
Someone has stolen your horse
Hitch a ride, 'cause it's far, too far to walk
Someone has stolen your horse
Hitch a ride, 'cause it's far, too far to walk
Someone has stolen your horse
Hitch a ride, 'cause it's far, too far to walk
Na na na
Na na na
Na na na
I sing myself to sleep
A song from the darkest hour
Secrets I can't keep
Insight of the day
I swing from high to deep
Extremes of sweet of sour
Hope that God exists
I hope I pray
Drawn by the undertow
My life is out of control
I believe this wave will bear my weight
So let it flow
Oh sit down Oh sit down Oh sit down
Sit down next to me
Sit down down down down down in symapthy
Now I’m relieved to hear
That you’ve been to some far out places
It’s hard to carry on
When you feel all alone
Now I’ve swung back down again
It’s worse than it was before
If I hadn’t seen such riches
I could live with being poor
Oh sit down
Oh sit down
Oh sit down
Sit down next to me
Sit down, down, down, down, down
In sympathy
Those who feel the breath of sadness
Sit down next to me
Those who find they’re touched by madness
Sit down next to me
Those who find themselves ridiculous
Sit down next to me
In love, in fear, in hate, in tears
In love, in fear, in hate, in tears
In love, in fear, in hate, in tears
In love, in fear, in hate
Down
Down
Oh sit down
Oh sit down
Oh sit down
Sit down next to me
Sit down, down,down,down, down
In sympathy
Oh sit down
Oh sit down
Oh sit down
Sit down next to me
Sit down,down,down,down,down
In sympathy
For every woman you will leave an open door
You find yourself thinking why can't I have more?
You say there's nothing you can do
You tried your best, but you were only being you
Oh, no, she's gone
Back wherever she came from
You watched her go
Your reaction is far too slow
Runaground, runaground, runaground
You don't know what you've got until you've lost it all
Might I suggest you find a softer place to fall
You take for granted all the riches of your world
You may have oysters, but you'll never find a pearl
Oh, no, she's gone
Back wherever she came from
You watched her go
Your reaction is far too slow
Oh, no, she's gone
Back wherever she came from
You watched her go
Your reaction is far too slow
Runaground, runaground, runaground
Runaground, runaground, runaground
She's moving on, the love has gone
You left the door wide open
She's moving on, the just has gone
This anger's felt, not spoken
It got too old, was too controlled
Could have gone on forever
The love has gone, she's moving on
When she said now you never
Runaground, runaground, runaground
Runaground, runaground, runaground
Runaground, runaground, runaground
Runaground, runaground, runaground
I'm in a crowded room - I've been half-asleep
Says the sister in uniform
"Has everybody understood?"
The listeners turn and nod
But I can see their fear, do they know more than me
Do they know why they're here
I don't want that poison in
She passed around a potion - it went from lip to hand
I took a sip, a taste I didn't understand
The woman then explained, that this was the juice, the juice that causes pain
That all great singers need
I don't want that poison in
I stumbled from the room
There must be some mistake
I do not want this seed
Think I'm in another's dream
Now I can feel this creature flapping in my throat
Try and throw it up
But my cough turns to a choke
Put my fingers in my mouth
I have it by the head
It dug into my jaw
I threw the sucker to the floor
-------------------------------------------------------
Who are you dreamin' of now
Is she flesh real
Or is she part of 'dem memories
Who are you dreamin' of now
Is she flesh real
Or bloodless fantasy
from a film heroine
There goes inocence fadin' away
Here comes bitterness after youpay
For believin in stories man made
Yes we all want to be your next lover
But we're scared so we're runnin you down
Yes we all want to be your next lover
But your beauty is too far above ground
>From a film heroine
We will laugh at the worst of your jokes
Steal a kiss if we can
Buy you gifts and flowers
Every move is a plan
You can measure this man
By the depth of his laugh
You can measure this man
Yes we all want to be your next lover
Yes we all want to be your next lover
We are driven you can't feel
Are we stealin' or are we the steal?
So we lie like a priest
To slide under and into and inside
love is creul but looks seldom kind
Yes we all want to be your next lover
Yes we all want to be your next lover
I can lie like the best of them
Wait with the patience of man
Seems so understand it
While I'm makin' my plans
I'm so full of desire
I've frogotten your name
I'm so full of desire
I could burst into flames
I'm so full of desire
I can hope to control
This desires that's closer to pain
River runs where all rivers go
This desire will not be contained
Yes we all want to be your next lover
Yes we all want to be your next lover
Lover...
I love her
Lover
Who are you thinkin of now
Is she flesh real
-------------------------------------------------------
This war's a mother fucker
How many sons will will we kill today
On poors little brother
Tell me what the newsline from the ground
Your love is a killer
Killing all this love in me
We are so full of terror
Viscious kiss, your love is longing deep
Love love love wont starve
You don't
Love love love
Where the anger is hot
Where opinion is deep
Understanding is shot
Is dead, is dead, is dead
Where the linen is cheap
Where the weapons are not
Where all the mothers will be
Is dead, is dead, is dead
Will strike you down
Love love love
Will strike you down
Love love love
We're prone to a torture
I can't take it anymore
On poors little mother
Tell me what the newsline from the ground
Love love love
Love will strike you down
My TV's staring at me
It says go to sleep, go to sleep'
Turns me into a Siamese twin
Where do i start
The TV screen begins
Plugs me into some holy geek
His point in life is incomplete
My TV is telling me that only money can make me happy
Hold the course and then sail
Hold the course and then sail
Across the satellite beams
Across the oceans or seas
To the lighthouse I could be
I see some soldiers with guns
And they are killing for fun
They are killing to entertain me
Caught between that world and this
I'd sell my soul for a Bond girl's kiss
Caught between that world and this
I'd sell my soul for a state of bliss
My TV's telling me that all our money goes into the military
Hold the course and then sail
Hold the course and then sail
Across the satellite beams
Across the oceans or seas
to the lighthouse I could be
I see some soldiers with guns
And they are killing for fun
They are killing to entertain me
And then I heard your name
As the spaceman came
He came right through my screen
And then his lifeline broke
He began to choke
Jump cut to another scene
Lost a friend to the sea
-------------------------------------------------------------
I don't believe Jesus was a human being
I've never met a propheit who's sheets are clean
Only in a film could he be so cool
But only in life could fathers be so cruel
What in the world are you dreamin' of
To sacrafice the son you love
You send your children off to war
As if you care!
As if you care!
To live the love of life
To live your love of life
To live your love of life
Your love of life
Your love of life
Draft it, hop in, sacrafice for common good
What we want
Sucks it out
With what we sould
All of these commercials are jsut teasing me
Everybody's restless with a deeper mean
Open your eyes and what do you see?
The system to crush enemies
A savior nailed to every tree
As if you care
As if you care
The propheit said
The propheit said
To live the love of life
To live your love of life
To live your love of life
Your love of life
Your love of life
Where's your love of life
The propheit said
The propheit said
Where's your love of life
Show me your love of life
Show me your love of life
To sacrafice the son you love
You send your children off to war
As if you care
Slow down my brother
Your life is passin fast
Will you remember
All these scenes that you've past
So long so long
So long so long
Speedin past sunset
Blurin from town to town
Faces I forget
Hotels look all the same
Worn down a knuckle too far
Worn down a knuckle too far
So long so long
Lost all your colors
Now life's in black and white
Steals from a movie
This life's a trick of the light
Worn down a knuckle too far (X3)
City of strangers
You seem so tired to me
Don't think I'll stay here
You don't seem friendly
I'll keep on movin
Searching for peace of mind
River's unwinding
Maybe I'll find it this time
So long so long
So long so long
Doctor, what is happening to me?
Palpitations, my mind's diseased
Even my vision is impaired, I'm losing my hair
'Cos when I hold her in my arms
I feel like Fred Astaire
Lovesick, my temperature's high
Just met a girl who believes we can fly
I'm a bull not a bear, I'm a millionaire
'Cos when I hold her in my arms
I feel like Fred Astaire
I believe in happiness, I believe in love
I believe she fell to earth from somewhere high above
I believe in Hollywood
Don't believe that love must bring despair
'Cos when I hold her in my arms
I feel like Fred Astaire
He said love is just a disease
A plague for the naive
These days no one believes
Meteors may strike the earth, nations live and die
I'm the boy who got the girl and now I gonna fly
We can cross the race divide
Bridge a gap that wasn't really there
'Cos when I hold her in my arms
I feel like Fred Astaire
I'm gonna hold her in my arms
Just like Fred Astaire
I'm gonna hold her in this charm
Like Fred Astaire, like Fred Astaire
In this bar, in this bar
I am dying
In this bar, in this bar
I am dying
Disassociated
Keep off the grass
I prefer you naked
This too shall pass
Nuance carefully weighted
Too slow, too fast
Too slow, too fast
I want to go home, right now
I want to go home, right now
I want to go home, right now
I want to go home
Kissing is forbidden
Biting leaves marks, sex is overrated
I need to dance, calmly understated
Well, you always had class
This too shall
Hide is amour-plated
Oblivious to darts
This too shall pass
I want to go home
I want to go home, right now
I want to go home
In this bar, in this bar
I am dying
In this bar, in this bar
My heart's dying, dying
We were doing so well, we had broken the spell
And freedom seemed just within reach
We had managed the bend between lover and friend
Found a place we could possibly meet
Yes, it's me, I can't help myself
I just run headlong to defeat
Yes, it's me, I can't help myself
I defeat, I defeat, I defeat
I'm so hard on myself, don't deserve any help
So I must let you go, let you go
So I pushed you away while I hoped you would stay
But I don't let you know, let you know
Yes, it's me, I can't help myself
I keep running around to this beat
Yes, it's me, I can't help myself
I defeat, I defeat, I defeat, I defeat
Yes, it's me, I can't help myself
I keep running around to this beat
Yes, it's me, I can't help myself
I defeat, I defeat, help me
I can't help myself
I defeat, I defeat, help me
I can't help myself
Baby you're such a tease
With legs that go on forever
Baby come back to me
maybe we'll get together
Baby come back to me
You're such good company
Baby come back to me
I don't expect you to stay here
I might go shopping just to
I'd go out
Just to buy those things that are eluding me
Just to buy something from the mall
Just to buy something that's eluding me
With a friend or two
With a friend like you
Baby come back to me
You make it look so easy
Why do I have to try so hard
Just to be happy
I feel so empty, so I might go shopping
Just to buy those things that will make me feel
Just to buy those things from the mall
Just to buy those things that would make me feel
Much better
So much better
And I'll call up my sister
For my sister's my teacher
And she might know what I need
'Cos it's not on the telly
And I'll call up my sister
For my sister needs me
and I'll fix her a cup of coffee
And we'll go to the bank
Go to the bank...
It all belongs to Caesar
It all belongs to Caesar...
Go do the bank
Go do the bank
GO TO THE BANK...cont
We're going down to Mexico
To get away from this culture
Go to the bank...
I'm going in
I can receive
I'm going in
I have such dreams
Some love life
I wish that I could make myself
A cool machine, designed to help
Not always hurting
Just plug me in and do the rounds
Impress your friends, save yourself pounds
I'll not be wanting
I wish that things could be that way
But every dog must have its day
The orchestra's tuning
I understand your suffering
I felt the same sting in my heart
That's why I'm singing
Drifting away as lovers do
Heads, you win and tails, I lose
Nothing to say and much less to do
Unhappy me, unhappy you
I know you want it all to end
Transform a love into a friend
Magicians can do
Gut feelings come, gut feelings go
Like rivers, we have no control
They just keep flowing
Yeah, I wish I could create myself
A cool machine or someone else
A lot less knowing
Drifting away as lovers do
Heads, you win and tails, I lose
Nothing to say and much less to do
Unhappy me, unhappy you
Love can heal and love can sting
Heads, you lose and tails, I win
Unhappy me, unhappy you
Nothing to say and much less to do
There's nothing to say, I get in the way
Unable to break obsession
There's nothing to say, I get in the way
Still unable to break obsession
There's nothing to say, I get in the way
Unable to break obsession
There's nothing to say, I get in the way
Unable to break obsession
There's nothing to say, I get in the way
Still unable to break obsession
There's nothing to say, I get in the way
Unable to break obsession
There's nothing to say, I get in the way
Unable to break obsession
There's nothing to say, I get in the way
Unable to break obsession
There's nothing to say, I get in the way
Still unable to break obsession
There's nothing to say, I get in the way
Unable to break obsession
There's nothing to say, I get in the way
Unable to break obsession
There's nothing to say, I get in the way
Unable to break obsession
There's nothing to say, I get in the way
Still unable to break obsession
There's nothing to say, I get in the way
So we maybe gorgeous
So we maybe famous
Come back when we're getting old
Cover us in chocolate
Sell us to the neighbors
Frame us in a video
Clone us in a test tube
Sell us to the multitude
Guess that's the price of fame
She likes the black one
He likes the the posh one
Cute ones are usually gay
Here we come this is our destiny
Calling we're freaks
This is our destiny calling unique
This is our destiny calling now
Don't believe the adverts
Don't believe the expert
Everyone will sell our souls
Get a little wiser, get a little humble
Now we know that we don't know
Tell us when our time's up
Show us how to die well
Show us how to let it all go
Here we come this is our destiny
Calling we're freaks
This is our destiny calling unique
This is our destiny calling now
Some fat cat's playing roulette with lives
This game is fixed it's all a lie
Some fat cat's playing roulette with lives
This time is curved, there's no straight lines
Some fat cat's playing roulette with lives
Forget myself we're all entwined
There's no straight lines
Here we come this our destiny
Calling we're freaks
This is our destiny calling unique
This is our destiny calling now
Here we come this our destiny
Calling we're freaks
This is our destiny calling unique
This is our destiny calling now
This is our destiny calling
This is our destiny calling
This is our destiny calling
--------------------------------------
Wooooowooooowoooowooo
Wooooowooooowoooowooo
All this frustration
I can't meet all my desires
Strange conversation
Self copntrol has just expired
All an illusion
Only in my head you don't exist
Who re you foolin'
Don't need a shrink or an exorcist
Lalalala
lalalala
lalalala
Wooooowooooowoooowooo
Show me the movie of who you are and where you're from
Born of frustration
Caught upon the webs you spun
Where's ther confusion
A vision of what life is like
Show the movie that doens't deal in black and white
Talk talk talkin 'bout who's to blame
But all that counts in how to change
Stop stop talkin 'bout who's to blame
When all that counts in how to change
Lalalala
lalalala
lalalala
All this frustration
All this frustration
Who put round eyes on a butterfly's wings
All this frustration
All this frustration
Who gave the leopard spots and taught the birds to sing
Born of frustration
Born of frustration
Wooooowooooowoooowooo
Wooooowooooowoooowooo
I'm living in the weeds where nothing is the way it seems
Where no one is who they need to be
Where nothing seems that real to me
'Bout time we filled our lives
Upon the walls of gold no solid ground
The world is spinnin' endlessly
We're clinging to our own beliefs
Born of frustration
Born of frustration
Wooooowooooowoooowooo
No messing with a sense of humor
Will see you through scrapes
And all shapes of clouds
We're late, we should have got here sooner
You can't rush fate
Or question the Dao
We're too thin to wear black
We're no victim to crack
We're too unique to be cloned
What you don't get, you attack
You rely on the laugh track
To get where the punch line explodes
And look who's laughing now
We're laughing out loud
We're laughing
A sound between a cry and scream
We're laughing, laughing out loud
You wrote us off as part time losers
Wielding an axe to hide your self doubt
I don't forgive, I forget
I can't remember which paper
Somebody answer the phone
The phone is ringing now
We're laughing out loud
We're laughing
A sound between a cry and scream
We're laughing, laughing out loud
We're still standing, standing tall
We're still standing
We're laughing, laughing and proud
Come and stand with us or fall, stand or fall
And our world is spinning 'round
Spinning 'round so much faster
And our world is spinning 'round
Spinning 'round so much faster
Get out, get out, get out in this garden
Call out, you won't, you won't let us play
I don't belong, belong in this dugout
All of you won't be sold to your faith
All in, all in, it's not all this falling
I don't belong to those who watch you fall
I hope it is, you won't disembellish
All of you want that you don't fall
You will be sorry, you will be sorry
You will be sorry, you will be sorry
Let us pray
Roll out, roll out, it's all on this flourish
Call out, you won't desert from your call
It's all in, it's all in, out, in, out, flourish
Don't you belong in all of this fall
You will be sorry, you will be sorry
You will be sorry, you will be sorry
Let us pray
You will be sorry, you will be sorry
You will be sorry, you will be sorry
You will be sorry, you will be sorry
Fear takes my breath away
I'm saving my skin
Dogs bark at a stranger's feet
I act without thinking
Fear fights for the driver's seat
Keeps breaking the chain
Next time he rides in the boot
We got wise to his game
We be giant or small
Satellite's askew
Compensate for fear of falling
I'm afraid of you
Shadows on the wall
I'm afraid of you
They dissolve when we start talking
You must want it too
Fear, fear, fear
Fear, fear
Fear, fear, fear
Holy man to be, Can you fill your life with laughter Holy man to be, Why do you sit alone, Holy man to be, You've designed into a martyr, Holy man to be, Why you are alone,
To escape this world you see, No, To transcend your mind and body, No,
Holy man to be, Getting by on bread and water, You're in ecstasy, Grieving on your own,
You can dance until you bleed, No, You can sing until you scream, No,
Can you look, Do you feel, Feel your life's not enough,
Can you love, Do you feel, Feel your life's not enough,
You can dance until you bleed, No, You can sing until you scream, No, You can love, You can feel, Feel your life isn't real, You can lie, You can say, Say it's all, All you need, Fear this day, Day is bought,
We're going down on America Going down on America
You made me blush You made me scream But was it pain or ecstasy? I was never sure I was never sure
You sucked the life right out of me My loving cup was well received Everyone was thrilled Everyone was thrilled
Going down on America Going down on America
The priceless jewels, The rush of fame I want to play your heady game
Deeper than before Deeper than before
Those swollen lips I can resist Just aching for a prince's kiss
Longer than before Longer than before
Going down on America Going down on America

I have friends who I can count on They can count on me A transaction we agreed on It works perfectly One day I will make a merger When I feel the need It will be a sound investment My whole company
Keeping people at a distance Takes up so much time I get on with those who are in keeping With these thoughts of mine All this talk of our own emotions I won't understand You love playing in the ocean I prefer dry sand You go playing in the ocean I prefer dry sand
I aspire to automaton With an automatic wife Everything would be so simple In an automatic life I would be devoid of all the people feelings left in me I could be a void of feeling Feeling just brings misery I could be a void of feeling In a world of misery
Don't believe in what you can't see There's no Promised Land Why do we get so excited It's all been programmed Why do you get so excited By the rising sun It will rise again tomorrow When the night has gone It will keep on rising falling After we have gone It will rise and fall forever After we have gone
It's a beautiful day in my neighbourhood
Everything is great here in America
It's a beautiful day in my neighbourhood
Everything is great here in America
Everything is great here in America
This is the best day of our lives
It's a beautiful day in my neighbourhood
Everything is great here in America
This is the best day of our lives
It's a beautiful day in my neighbourhood
Everything is great here in America
It's a beautiful day in my neighbourhood
Got the shakes, too much gravy
I'm so fried
What did I do?
Knuckles scraped, please don't blame me
Can't hurt a fly
I couldn't hurt you
Change my shape when I'm crazy
Flat stones skim the surface of water
Three strikes, and then they go under
Don't tell me it's over
Please wait for me, I swear I'll go sober
Please wait till this hell freezes over
Some people shouldn't mess with the thunder
I'll go sober
Don't mess with the thunder
I'll go dry
I'll go dry
I'll go dry
I'll go dry
You're so thin What you've been eating It's alive It's alive
You're so thin Something's eaten it's way in You can't hide It's alive
I, I'll make you alright (x4)
Change your skin Who you gonna be next time? Which disguise Which disguise do you recognise?
Withdrawn, muscles all tense
Nothing flows for the self-obsessed
Feel all washed up
Restless, can't sit still
A mental state, or a physical ill
Toxic, bones all cracked
Step on a bus, get a panic attack
Of that you took me so high
Now getting out of bed is enough to make me cry
Saps all my energy
That's how it used to be
You came just in time
Feel all washed up
Need a wash up
Need a wash
Restless, muscles all ache
So tense, watch me shiver as you shake
Not a dance but a scream by the body at the stake
Pierces my heart, something's gonna break
Amazed when you cannot deny
Going out of bed is enough to make you cry
That's how it used to be before you came by
Screwed up at school
Hate bad food
Too many T.V. views live in you (My friend)
Feel all washed up (Need a wash)
Much to take, I'm overcome
I'm leaking down the left side
Oh god no, I hope it doesn't show
But somebody's getting a mouth full of the emperor's new clothes.
I'm leaking down the left side
No one can see my gallbladder's burst and so has my spleen.
Leg and an arm and a leg and a arm...
I'm leaking down the left side
Oh God no, I hope it doesn't show.
I'm so wound up my bowels just want to blow.
I hope you don't think I'm a jerk
though nothing I do ever seems to work.
My timing of that joke was wrong.
You can't call that a dance or this a song.
You can't call this a song.
You can't call this a song.
You can't call this a song.
Found my way through this attack.
Hope no one sees through my act.
All those people staring at me.
Their piercing gazes make me want to scream.
What do you want from me?
What do you want from me?
What do you want from me?
Leg and an arm Leg and an arm...
Oh, fill holy hole
Oh, fill my holy hole
Oh, fill my holes.
Oh, fill my holes.
Oh, fill my holes.
Oh, fill my holes.
Feel my holes.
Feel my holes.
I couldn't plug my holy holes.
I couldn't plug my holes.
Shirt's on fire, church on fire
Billy's dream boat stills as the house alights
Sailors come from miles for a drink and a fight
But the harbour thrills pull back from the light
To the belly of a boat in a hammer try tight
Holler
Pleasures of the night
Seaman's delight
Holler
(refrain)
Pleasures of the night
What a sight
Oh no, the organ plays by itself
It doesn't need the grinder's help and the monkey
And the monkey stow away to sea
Back to his wife and a nest in the trees
Billy's brother plays bass in a band called Man
He fancies himself as a travelling ham
Strutting and fretting them into fame
In a torn T-shirt he'll carve his name
Holler
(refrain)
Looking for adventure and some mystery
He doesn't need the grinder and he doesn't want me
Stripped off his suit
So let the poor beast be
Oh, let the poor beast be
The man said, "Ho ho wee, this is too hot for me!"
Billy's shirt's on fire in the night
He said, "Ho wee this is too hot to see."
I see you falling
How long to go till you hirt the ground
You keep on screaming
Don't you see me hear.. am I a ghost to you?
Now your grips to strong
Catch love with a net or a gun
Gotta keep faith that your path will change
Gotta keep faith that your luck will change tomorrow
Tomorrow
Why are you phoning
What am I to do when you are mile away
You're always calling from the darkest moons
And we're both scared
Now your grips to strong
Catch love with a net or a gun
Gotta keep faith that your path will change
Gotta keep faith that your love will change
Now your grips to strong
Catch love with a net or a gun
Gotta keep faith that your path will change
Gotta keep faith that your love will change tomorrow
I'm just out of your range
Tomorrow
All your suffering's in vain
Tomorrow
Lalala
Now your grips to strong
Catch love with a net or a gun
Gotta keep faith that your path will change
Gotta keep faith that your love will change tomorrow
I got out of your range
Tomorrow
All your suffering seems vain
Tomorrow
Tomorrow
Some forgiveness now
Tomorrow
If you don't look cool
They won't look at you
But if you image is strong
Any song will do
They'll think that the wrapping's the gift
Is a throw away stone
All we want
Is an empty throne
I feel I've been burned
I feel I've been burned
I feel I've been burned
I feel I've been burned
But I won't let it show
I won't let it show
I won't let it show
I won't let it show
I won't let it show
My belief's are all shaken
I'm lost in grief at the state I'm in
Seen too much goodness chewed up by money men
If God exists she should make us king
I feel I've been burned
I feel I've been burned
I feel I've been burned
I feel I've been burned
What must we do to make money
Sell our dreams to some Pharisee
Believe that all everyone wants is power and fame
If you won't get screwed, don't go on the game
I feel I've been burned
I feel I've been burned
I feel I've been burned
I feel I've been burned
Burned
Burned
Burned...
I've been burned
I've been burned
Someone's got it in for me
I don't want your sympathy
Life just never turned out how I wanted it to
Could have been a shooting star
Should have made it past the bar
Would have been a winner if I'd ever got that far
What a state I'm in
My self pitying
Here's another victim
Singing suffering
If only I had made the grade
Been more loved
Been less afraid
If only I had scored the goal
Got the girl
Or even played
What a state I'm in
My self pitying
Here's another victim
Singing suffering
Fall
Let it fall away
Then rise
To be born again
Then fall
Let it fall away
Then rise
To be born again
My life's turned to minor chords
Loser sad
And life's a bore
Can't see the point of living
In this fashion anymore
What a state I'm in
My self pitying
Here's another victim
Selling suffering
Fall
Let it fall away
Then rise
To be born again
Then fall
Let it fall away
Then rise

You may say I am cynical, but I say man is flawed
He has a vague memory of before some fall
Behaving like a reptile, but talks of walking tall
If god is in his image, the almighty must be small
God only knows
Swaggart has been caught with his trousers round his knees
After damning me and you to hell for eternity
Sex and power and money is the prayer of these priests
They bribe their way past heaven's gates and steal a set of keys
God only knows
My guru has been sleeping with adepts and with sheep
While I was fucking celibate, self-righteous in belief
Yesterday he was god, now he is a creep
We fell upon each other starving for belief
God only knows
I speak in the name of god
I speak in the name of that
white haired old man in the clouds
Always a man
Dispensing lightening justice from his fingertips
Watching you every second of the day
Just waiting for you to fuck up
I speak in the name of God
I'm his intermediary
I'm a Mollah, I'm a Priest, I'm a Vicar
If you want to go to God
You have to come through me
Is heaven full, oh lord, of these babbling preachers and
God-fearing biggots
All these sef-rightious, self-appointed prophets
because if so:-
I know where I'd rather be
Away from this cacophony
Away from this cacophony
God only knows
God only knows
Sunday morning
Brings the dawn in
It's just a restless feeling by my side
Early dawning
Sunday morning
It's just the wasted years so close behind
Watch out the world's behind you
There's always someone around you who will call
It's nothing at all
Sunday morning
And I'm falling
I've got a feeling I don't want to know
Early dawning
Sunday morning
It's all the streets you crossed, not so long ago
Watch out the world's behind you
There's always someone around you who will call
It's nothing at all
Sunday morning
Sunday morning

I'm in a deep depression
Face of self-control
Shown to the world of confident
Pray your fears won't show
Break your first impressions
Recreate your will
Love's at the heart of everything
Let love be your goal
My whole world
Breaking down
The pressure's on
The pressures' on
This whole way's
Falling down
The pressure's on
The pressure's on
The pressure's on
God's dead, this state is torture.
Find me shade and bring me water.
Holding on.
I'm thirsty for your sage.
Back at the ranch I just got slaughtered.
Too many shoulds, too many orders.
Better come out, holding onto faith.
Let the sun begin to shine through your night
Let the light reveal disguise in your life.
Work kills! It's killing me slowly
And what is the point in being so lonely?
Who do you love?
Who do you love above all?
If you want to live some life gets slaughtered
But they'd sell their sons and daughters
Who do you love?
Who do you love above all?
How can we fail less we really want to
Under the drum of some local voodoo curse
We can change our fate
Let the sun begin to shine through you night
What a life, a trick of light
Then everything returns to the sea
You can have whatever you want
But are you disciplined enough to be free?
Turning love into a chore
Promises come cheap, dear reader
Another page, another door
Follow, follow me
I know what I'm here for
Hanging on through late December
I know what I'm here for
Follow, follow me
Follow me
Moving on, I don't belong
My life turned into a mall
Every line is in the song
Follow me out of the fall
What an actor, what a show
Just going through some holy motions
The band is sharp, but the singer's slow
Everything must go
I know what I'm here for
Hanging on through late December
I know what I'm here for
Follow, follow me
Follow me
Follow me (x8)
Souvenirs, polygraph tests
Photographs fresh from the wreck
What a poster saint he'll make
In one take, one take
I know what I'm here for
Hanging on through late December
I know what I'm here for
Follow, follow me
Follow me
Which scarecrow has the power of voice
It will stab you in the thigh
And when she wails, it twists your insides
Wise scarecrow
Which scarecrow
Which scarecrow
A pitch for which she has been searching
Holds the key to the dreams she's been dreaming
(refrain)
Coming on, coming on, coming on
She's coming on strong
She's coming on coming on coming on coming on
Coming on strong
Droll,
Try to mix her ego with her soul
Never mix the ego with the soul
I always twist my ego with my soul
Which scarecrow
Wise scarecrow
Which scarecrow
And 'cause you was her inspiration
Got a plan that could shatter a nation
(refrain)
When your song strikes me
My walls fall down
And I can sit down
An emotional charge like an electrical spark
But the fuses are two, you can't tell them apart
When the bodies collide, the bodies emerge back into one
The only urge all change, all change etc.
Change your paths
But you can't help the thought that when nothing stays still
The tiger moves on when its taken its fill
But you cling to the part like a shark to its prey
When the part doesn't last there's pain, but no one to blame Who's to blame?
Fail to achieve a basis for collaboration
Fail to achieve a basis for collaboration
But you cling to the part like a shark to its prey
The preacher looked out on my doing today
otro dia sin ti
solo q este aun mas silencioso
porque creo q devo partir
por favor alejate de mi
no importa q sea con ese otro
q me a derrotado
y de mi te a alejado
ese q mis ilusiones se llevo.
suena y descansa
q al despertar todo esto acabara
duerme tranquila
q la noche sanara
solo q sin embargo
a mi me olvidara
solo espero q el,
junto al amanecer y la brisa
acompanada con el brillo
de las rosas y neblina mananera
q a un nuevo dia te guie
junto a esa misma brisa q a ami me alejara
en este seno de soledad
supongo q no queda nada mas q llorar y admitir
q una ves mas mi cobardia
me aleja de mi mayor interes
tu!!
ahora parto sin rimbo
a donde la brisa me lleve
donde pueda olvidar
y desde lejos tu sonrisa contemplar
donde una manana como esta,
llege ami con una facinacion penetrante
alguien deshaga
lo q tu no hicistes
q penetre en mi corazon
igual o mejor q tu
para q en ese modo
talvez te pueda olvidar
ahora mi corazon q ademas de solo,
partido lo encuentro yo
con tristeza te dice adios
ocultando lo q nunca tuvo el valor de decir pero mas sin embargo lo tubo para escribir
Hey hey hey
Julie says that I must wake up
I am losing touch 'cause I think too much
I'm afraid to feel, my life feels unreal
You will not find love if you think you're not good enough
Are you ready to rebel
Change your mind, I know you live in hell
Are you ready, oh
All of my beliefs, they come back to me
I think life is tough, so my life is tough
She says find a way to develop love
To receive my love, believe you are good enough
Are you ready to rebel
Change your mind, I know you live in hell,
Are you ready
When we forget why we're here
Out goes love, in comes fear
And if not then, I'm all alone
I need nothing 'til my mind takes hold
Hold, hold
Are you ready to rebel
Are you ready
Medieval
Caught in the long grass, got separated from his company
Those men he thought were friends turned
out to be the enemy
Their uniforms were black not brown,
they marched to a different step
But he soon tuned in to their frequency
By shifting up one fret
But the one thing that united them
Was they all had life to give
But it wasn't their intention to serve that way,
but to kill so they may live
We are sound, we are sound, we are sound
Set them marching, stop them thinking
Psyche them up with your will
Stir them up with frantic rhythm
Send them out to kill, kill, kill, kill kill
We are sound we are sound we are sound
Back in human form, skin tight uniform,
caught upon the barbed wire
Back in human form, skin tight uniform,
crucified upon the barbed wire
The wire
Oh lord I tried I have tried So damn hard to fit in
I've worn away my edges
and I'm looking mighty thin
Whoops-a-daisy don't trip that wire
Whoops-a-daisy don't touch that wire
Whoops-a-daisy
Whoops-a-daisy
Whoops
I know all your soft spots
They're the same soft spots that are in me
If you keep on scratching
They will flare up suddenly
Whoops-a-daisy don't touch that wire
Whoops-a-daisy don't touch that wire
Whoops-a-daisy
Whoops-a-daisy
Whoops
Whoops
Whoops-a-daisy
Whoop, whoop, whoop, whoops
Don't touch that wire
Don't touch that wire
Don't touch that wire
Don't touch that wire
As far as this time will bring you together
As far as these words will hold you together
As far as this time will last for ever
As far as this skill will endeavour
As far as this dream will burst into madness
As far as this peace will string you to part
As far as this still will make you another
As far as this pill will hold you together
Oh God, it's you I'm calling down
Oh God, it's you falling
Wait
Oh God, it's you I'm calling down
As far as this film will take you together
As far as this fall
I wanted to hurt you
I don't let go, I want to say never
I won't let you go into the ether
Oh God, I love you coming
Oh God, I love to come with you
Ugly children with poor complexions and greasy hair
Receive no concessions and it`s a heartless world
And it`s a thoughtless heartless world
Oh james oh you're a terrible child
Hide yourself away from furnished accommodation
With a view and window seat
You swear she really is the best thing that you have ever seen
But your heart is in the wrong place
Cover your face and despair yourself away
Oh you're impossible james hide yourself away
And it`s a sin to be a saint
And you're impossible james
And it`s impossible to accept that she's impossible
And as a consequence you lock yourself away
And it`s a crime to be alive and be alone
And be content to be
Oh james oh you`re a terrible child
Hide yourself away
And in the morning when you wake
You walked into the room
And the whole place stopped to notice
Standing next to you, I feel hopeless and you know this
I've never been ashamed of my attraction
I'd be happy if you gave me just a fraction
As we danced, I could see in your eyes
You and me as senior citizens in love
I followed your perfume out away from all the rabble
Right up to your room for a drink and travel Scrabble
You, stationed in the warm glow of the t.v.
Too patient as I'm playing L(1)O(1)V(4)E(1)
And we laugh...and we laugh...and we laugh
And we have to or we'll end up in the bath
Now we're in the bath, I'm already thinking marriage
I know that in the past it was something I'd disparage
You turned down all the lights, I lit the candles
We rolled around in robes and hotel sandals
Then you slept, and I dressed, and I left
And I guess I'll see you Monday like before
Before all the fireworks exploded
Our conversations were so loaded, innuendo flying
Now what can we say
Have a nice day
Looks like rain today...
Now I'm in a cab, heading back to my apartment
Everything is drab, and I wish it never started
Now I've landed in this awkward situation
How can I just avoid a conversation
So I wait, come in late. It'd be great
If you transferred out of state
who the hell is James?
oh, giant peach.
Kneel down
Close your eyes
Hit the ground
I want you to, to kneel all day
Alone in this desolate cave
So I said
Scream if you want to
Cause no one is around
I want you to
To scream all day
Cause there's eleven words that I've rehearsed to say
And I say
How I love to hate you!
You're
not so brave
When I'm the snake
And you're my prey
Let me tell you I'll eat all day
Alone in this desolate cave
So I say
Squeal if you want to
Cause no
no one is around
I want you to
To squeal all day
Cause there's eleven words that I've rehearsed to say
And I say
How I love to hate you!
James, how I love to hate you
Oh, how I love
He decided he'd be better off alone
So he left his wife and child and went solo
It is summertime, Atlanta's hot as hell
He thinks back to what he had, and where he's now
(chorus)
James can't stop hangin' out in the bars
He's on top, breakin' all the ladies hearts
James ain't got a problem with alcohol
He can't stop, hangin' out in the bars
Found a payphone and the courage it did swell
What to say, James never really knew that well
His apology was more than they could stand
'I'm just a poor excuse for what some call a man'
(chorus)
James can't stop hangin' out in the bars
He's on top, breakin' all the ladies hearts
James ain't got a problem with alcohol
He can't stop, hangin' out in the bars
'So I want you to be spirited and brave
Find someone to love, but never take my place'
He hung the phone up and defeated his own life
Disappeared into the closest neon sign
(chorus)
James can't stop hangin' out in the bars
He's on top, breakin' all the ladies hearts
James ain't got a problem with alcohol
He can't stop, hangin' out in the bars
You said, "Young man, don't rely on a sword.
Cause your words will outlive even time."
I've counted my blessings.
The rest are for you.
Please listen close for awhile,
And breathe, breathe, deep for me James.
Don't you feel that you're free now from pain?
I've heard about heaven for years.
Can't be sure where you are, wander on blessed James.
I'm fine with you here.
I made the mistake once of fearing an end.
Is this life that we live just the world's accident?
Not a chance, so I move on with a smile.
Are you surprised where you are?
So breathe, breathe, deep for me James.
Don't you feel that you're free now from pain?
I've heard about heaven for years.
Can't be sure where you are, wander on blessed James.
I'm fine with you here.
I grew up slow on the heels of the rest.
Left my heart back at home, carried you in my chest.
And I don't feel like crying today.
Why can't we talk for awhile?
And breathe, breathe, deep for me James.
Don't you feel that you're free now from pain?
I've heard about heaven for years.
Can't be sure where you are, wander on blessed James.
I'm fine with you here.
You said, "Son, just listen to me."
But I'm doing fine, James.
So you can sit back and just breathe.
And it's time now to let yourself go.
Hold us close, spin the dream, the curtain will fall but behind it
I see that you're here.
You said, "Young man, don't rely on a sword.
Cause your words will outlive even time."
I've counted my blessings.
The rest are for you.
Please listen close for awhile,
And breathe, breathe, deep for me James.
Don't you feel that you're free now from pain?
I've heard about heaven for years.
Can't be sure where you are, wander on blessed James.
I'm fine with you here.
I made the mistake once of fearing an end.
Is this life that we live just the world's accident?
Not a chance, so I move on with a smile.
Are you surprised where you are?
So breathe, breathe, deep for me James.
Don't you feel that you're free now from pain?
I've heard about heaven for years.
Can't be sure where you are, wander on blessed James.
I'm fine with you here.
I grew up slow on the heels of the rest.
Left my heart back at home, carried you in my chest.
And I don't feel like crying today.
Why can't we talk for awhile?
And breathe, breathe, deep for me James.
Don't you feel that you're free now from pain?

Can't be sure where you are, wander on blessed James.
I'm fine with you here.
You said, "Son, just listen to me."
But I'm doing fine, James.
So you can sit back and just breathe.
And it's time now to let yourself go.
Hold us close, spin the dream, the curtain will fall but behind it
(V. Peterson)Susanna
I knew it'd turn out like this
I'm keeping one foot on the train
And I must be a masochist
To ever take up with you, James
It sounds familiar
That tone in your voice
You're gonna quit, James
You leave me no choice
Oh, James
Letting me down again, James
Well, it wasn't so long ago
I saw love in your eyes
And I think I should've known
But I'm feeling somewhat surprised
You think there's someone
Better for you
You think I'm too young
To see this thing throughOh, James
Letting me down again, James.
(Oh, let me down) down, down
(Oh, let me down) let me down, down, down, down
(Oh, let me down) down, down
(Oh, let me down) let me down, down, down, down
(Oh, let me down) down
I knew it'd turn out like this
I'm keeping one foot out the door
And I don't think I should trust
That kind of love anymore
And now I realize I had it all wrong
I'll only take this shit for so long
Woh, James
Letting me down again, James
Guess this is goodbye again, James
Letting me down again
Letting me down again, James
I knew it'd turn out like this
I'm keeping one foot on the train
And I must be a masochist
To ever take up with you, James.
It sounds familiar
That tone in your voice
You're gonna quit, James
You leave me no choice.
Oh, James
Letting me down again, James.
Well, it wasn't so long ago
I saw love in your eyes
And I think I should've known
But I'm feelin' somewhat surprised.
You think there's someone
Better for you
You think I'm too young
To see this thing through.
Oh, James
Letting me down again, James.
(Ooh, let me down) down, down
(Ooh, let me down) let me down, down, down, down
(Ooh, let me down) down, down
(Ooh, let me down) let me down, down, down, down
(Ooh, let me down) down.
I knew it'd turn out like this
I'm keeping one foot out the door
And I don't think I should trust
That kind of love anymore.
And now I realize
I had it all wrong
I'll only take this
Trip for so long.
Woe, James
Letting me down again, James
Guess this is goodbye again, James
Letting me down again
(Hi James)
Verse 1:
Known ya since we were younger
And even now that we're older
You're still a kid so curious
Who's peeking over my shoulder.
You always drift around.
You never let me down.
I trust that you'll be yourself.
Don't act like you're no one else.
You can be a space case.
You do it your own way.
There's a strange sincerity
That makes them girls go crazy.
Maybe it don't make sense.
You don't have to understand.
Chorus:
James! Doesn't try still attracts the babes!
All the guys say he's got no game!
You can laugh but in the end now
Everybodys on a date with my buddy James.
And everbody knows his name.
He's driving everybody insane!
They wanna be like James.
Verse 2:
You're talking to a lady.
It's awkward entertainment.
Freeze up like a popsicle
Then melting on the pavement.
It's not the clothes you wear.
You don't have to dye that hair.
No need to go all new.
You should just stick with you.
Always been the nice guy
Living on the side lines.
You're afraid to take a chance
So step into the lime light.
People like underdogs.
Someone worth fighting for.
Chorus: James! Doesn't try still attracts the babes!
All the guys say he's got no game!
You can laugh but in the end now
Everybodys on a date with my buddy James.
And everbody knows his name.
He's driving everybody insane!
They wanna be like James.
Bridge:
When you walk into a room,
Makin everybody swoon.
So invicible.
The writings on the wall.(yea)
Chorus:
James! Doesn't try still attracts the babes!
All the guys say he's got no game!
You can laugh but in the end now
Everybodys on a date with my buddy James.
Chorus:
James! Doesn't try still attracts the babes!
All the guys say he's got no game!
You can laugh but in the end now
Everybodys on a date with my buddy James.
And everbody knows his name.(Ladies)
He's driving everybody insane!
They wanna be like James.
James!
Look out for the boy next door
Come knock-knock-knocking
The ceiling to the floor
James!
I've told you life can be deluxe
Every which way
Looks like trouble but
You've got to let him go
James!
C'mon hold your horses
The first kid under your nose
Ain't a sure thing
James! I told you
Life was made of luck
But a deal's better made
The second time it's cut
You've got to let him go
But he's one wall away
These walls so thin!
James!
They call it a waiting game and
Boy, you will wait in vain
The first one you see
Might make you change
But a straight boy, James
Gonna always shoot the same
You've got to let him go
Love at first sight it may be
But first love on sight
the lights have a heartbeat not unlike that
which starts me and the whole house
starts moving and i've been wearing your clothes i can't
fit inside
your shoes there is no mystery to anything i do
have you gone to pasture james?
you go to greater lengths to feel the same
any length to feel like you felt yesterday
like hospital corners you construct your life
in quarters and the whole house feels holy
when we stretch out on the floor we have no way of
knowing
how long we've been sleeping for
have you gone to pasture james?
you go to greater lengths to feel the same
any length to feel like you felt yesterday
and you want to go to heaven but you're not
sure where it is there are no miracles when you're always
giving in
you feel so unaffected you don't show up anymore
and you feel numb, honey it's been done
have you gone to pasture james?
you go to any length to feel like you felt yesterday
James, he came to my place
He said he had to see my face
He hopes that we can still be friends
In his own way, he'll love me til the end
And, James, he came to the door
Wanting to know for sure
Why love gets up and goes
I'm sorry, but it had no place to grow
Oh, James. My love for you is stronger, don't you know?
I'd like to celebrate you, dear
All in all, it's been a pretty good year
I looked deep within myself
I got scared by just how hard I fell
Oh, James. You broke me, I thought I knew you well.
Oh, you had me
Honey and me, oh, sun and the moon
I'll be fine by June
I could tell that you weren't well
Oh, James. You broke me, I thought I knew you well
Oh, can't you see you belong with me?
I could tell that you weren't well
You said, "Young man, don't rely on a sword,
Cause your words will outlive even time."
I've counted my blessings. The rest are for you.
Please listen close for a while,
And breathe, breathe, deep for me James.
Don't you feel that you're free now from pain?
I've heard about heaven for years.
Can't be sure where you are, wander on blessed James.
I'm fine with you here.
I made the mistake once of fearing an end.
Is this life that we live just the world's accident?
Not a chance, so I move on with a smile.
Are you surprised where you are?
So breathe, breathe, deep for me James.
Don't you feel that you're free now from pain?
I've heard about heaven for years.
Can't be sure where you are, wander on blessed James.
I'm fine with you here.
I grew up slow on the heels of the rest.
Left my heart back at home, carried you in my chest.
And I don't feel like crying today.
Why can't we talk for awhile?
And breathe, breathe, deep for me James.
Don't you feel that you're free now from pain?
I've heard about heaven for years.
Can't be sure where you are, wander on blessed James.
I'm fine with you here.
You said, "Son, just listen to me."
But I'm doing fine, James.
So you can sit back and just breathe.
And it's time now to let yourself go.
Hold us close, spin the dream,
(Verse)
Thinking about what it all has to do
Inside a darkened there's nothing left to steal
Jesus Christ, my name is true
And the soft air shaking the afternoon
(Verse)
I was sleeping on a subway train
I couldn't get my lane with a golden tail
I can see what is wrong with me
But I can't conceive what I've fall into
(Chorus)
It's somewhere that's so deep
I fell asleep in a hurricane
It made you late for school
And I'm driving fast to meet this fool
(Verse)
If you'd like it you could have some too
But now make up time is equity
It's only nothing that you haven't seen
Something deep with feel prior to
(Chorus)
It's somewhere that's so deep
I fell asleep in a hurricane
It made you late for school
And I'm driving fast to meet this fool
(Verse)
Even if you can't forgive my ways
Then it's cool, I agree with what your mother says
But knowing you were down
I was taking hits when you were on the ground
(Chorus)
It's somewhere that's so deep
I fell asleep in a hurricane
It made you late for school
And I'm driving fast to meet this fool
It's somewhere that's so deep
I fell asleep in a hurricane
It made you late for school
We're headed for the great smokey mountains
To see the wild flowers bloom in spring
'Cause we've decided that there's no better place to be
For two young people who just wanna do their thing in the spring
I know we're gonna be happy
'Cause James is a freedom fighter and he lives for the moment
His parents are hippies and he sees everything through a rainbow
He's never unhappy because he never wears a watch
He lives on his mountain bike and he sees beauty in everyone
James says he's gonna change the world
James says that I am his flower girl
And James and I, we're gonna make a difference
Just wait and see, we're gonna set the world free
It's two years later now and we're both out of college
and we've decided to love one another for eternity
I've got a good job but James says no one understands him
He's an artist; he needs time to find out what that means
James says he's gonna change the world
James says that I am his flower girl
And James and I, we're gonna make a difference
Just wait and see, we're gonna set the world free
We're gonna set the world free
We're gonna set the world free
He answers to a higher calling
The moon and the sun and the stars are falling
Through his time and his space
And I'm lucky to be part of it all
He is bigger than life
He sees things, he knows things
He is not like you and me
James says he's gonna change the world
James says that I am his flower girl
And James and I, we're gonna make a difference
Just wait and see, we're gonna set the world free
James finally found a steady job and now we're gonna settle down
He still loves his music, but he knows where his priorities lie
He stepped on his dreams so many times and wore out the path
He needed to take to find the life he thought would just happen to him
