Geology is digging through my brain
a manta engulfing the world
to throw it up once again
to a guild of a lifted dagger
Neo-wolf but older again
than the Lupus itself
linked its fur to the gyroscope of time
a collection of failures
A diabolical sequences of stabs written in cunning stone
from the fossilised of thieves our lives dies
I see the nursing all-mother
spitting out a trail of termites
in the mouth of her first-born hope
breast ripe with smog-filled rebellion
Apathy dressed in violence
white insectoid legs
curse her lips and mouth
She's wearing too much lipstick tonight,
Little black dress, a little too tight.
Tries to make small talk, but it drips with spite.
She knows that it's coming, but it's really alright.
Nobody here could know how she feels,
Not getting drunk and she hates wearing heals,
Tries to stand, but the room seems to bend and reel,
Her friends all keep asking, "why can't she just deal?"
If she spins fast enough then maybe the broken pieces of her heart will stay together,
But ain't no gyroscope can spin forever, yeah.
If she spins fast enough then maybe the broken pieces of her heart will stay together,
but ain't no gyroscope can spin forever, yeah...
He says it's over and it's such a release,
Finally happened and he's making his peace,
The reminders don't bother him in the least,
The Jekyll and Hyde shit will finally cease,
His eyes on fire and his hands kind of shake,
Like his voice is ready to break,
Kind of wonder how long this boy's been awake,
Or how much less sense one person can make.
If he spins fast enough then maybe the broken pieces of his heart will stay together,
But ain't no gyroscope can spin forever, yeah.
If he spins fast enough then maybe the broken pieces of his heart will stay together,
But ain't no gyroscope can spin forever, yeah...
Happiness is such hard work, harder every day, and it can kill you,
But no one wants to be that tacky about it.
If you spin fast enough then maybe the broken pieces of your heart will stay together,
Come face to face with it
Pushed on your side
Lose all your selfcontrol
Worlds will collide
Inside out, you can't cope
My gyroscope
Witness the fall from grace
You shed your skin
Change if it pleases you
Just don't give in
Inside out, you can't cope
My gyroscope
Quiet now she said
you're waking up the dead
I cradle the exuse
In love with the abuse so..
I handle it with ease
its a dignified disease
Slow down
Soul searching breaks you down
You'll never learn
Annihilate yourself
All things must burn
Inside out you can't cope
come face to face with it
pushed on your side
lose all your self control
worlds will collide
inside out, you can't cope
my gryoscope
witness the fall from grace
you shed your skin
change if it pleases you
just don't give in
inside out, you can't cope

She's wearing too much lipstick tonight
A little black dress a little too tight
Tries to make small talk but it drips with spite
She knows that he's coming; it's really all right
Nobody here could know how she feels
Not getting drunk and she hates wearing heels
She tries to stand, but the room seems to bend and reel
Her friends all keep asking why can't she just deal
If she spins fast enough than maybe the broken pieces of her heart will stay together
But any gyroscope can't spin forever, yea

I've been watching the clock all night, i'm done.. i know the night is young.
You've been talking the ears clean off my head..
Therefore i haven't heard a word you've said.
Anyway.. we fall away.. your tongue is bleeding from all your sharp words.
Could you hit me from where i am?
And would you hit me now where i stand?
I've been listening you know that.. obviously you know that.
Anyway.. we fall away.. your tongue is bleeding now.
Anyway.. it's the way.. i am leaving now.
I can't breathe.
Anyway.. it's the way.. my throat is bleeding now.
Anyway.. it's the way.. i am leaving now.
take care to notice - this is the lesser me.. the lesser me..
take care and notice -this is the lesser me.. the lesser me..
I fall and the sun shines. You trace all my sketch lines. Fall and the sun shines
I Fall and the sun shines..
Bore you to no end⦠remembering,
Glad you brought a friend⦠remembering,
Scream for blue murder,
Sinking disorder,
Secretly watered down,
Sleeping disorder,
Sea of new order,
Swim out until you drown,
Crush your soulâ¦
Crushed with a splash of your alcohol.
You are so⦠gullible, gullible, gullible,
Leave this up to me⦠definitely,
Leave it all to me⦠defiantly,
Scream for blue murder,
Take this new order,
Secretly watered down,
Sleeping disorder,
Sea of new order,
Swim out until you drown,
Crush your soulâ¦
Crushed with a splash of your alcohol,
You are both⦠gullible, gullible, gullible,
Even though⦠I have been sent here to steal your soul,
Boring you to no end⦠remembering,
Glad you brought a friend⦠remembering,
Crush your soulâ¦
Crushed with a splash of your alcohol.
You are so⦠gullible, gullible, gullible,
With deep devotion, you play your cards one by one.
Mistakes and ladders, we'll drink until 6:01.
I am the first? No I cant be the first.
A continuous nothing, destined for something.
Tell me who you are and why you trapped me here.
In true fashion. Late reaction. Keep appearance... Keep the distance.
A blood red ocean. The new wave has drowned the sun.
To save what matters. They change the rules one by one.
(can't get away from you)
In true fashion. Late reaction. Keep appearance.
When the Captain insists that this thing cannot sink, I'll re-focuse my stare, and I'll fix you a drink.
We'll remember the night as a token charade, as we toast to the life with a job with no pay.
With deep devotion, you play your cards one by one. Mistakes and ladders, we'll drink until 6:01.
In true fashion. Late reaction. Keep appearance.
the wind is softy blowing
the posters on my far wall
I? d quickly go close my window
as if I had someplace to go
the echoes are faintly calling
the distinctive voice of fall
we? ll talk til dawn about dreams
maybe about what this night means
the orchestra of the night
must only play for us this time
how our faces will seem too clean
through the curtain a moonbeam stream
lighting our candles, let the warm stread inside
as a suble change within yourself
I turn and you are no longer here
just a piece of paper
reading "when the raindrops fall"
lost in confusion,
the stars would hear my subtle cry
words are met somewhere within this night
seeing things nowhere within sight
the things that would be the same
the child inside my starts to cry
and a circling question fills my mind
with answer I've never been taught
a whisper in to my pillow
"when do raindrops fall?"
why does everything seem to change?
the world around me slowly sighs
memories of aspiring words
none too common and none too absurd
as your shadow still sits in my chair
I think about how far we? ve come
and I open my window again
my fright is taken from my soul
Eyelids are heavy - man, I need some sleep.
Your hemline is sexy - I'll retreat.
So don't wake me. Please don't wake me.
Are we in real time? Are we even real?
For your information I'd borrow and steal
If you'd save me. Please save me.
Through everything I lost, and all the shit it cost
I'd trade this all just to sit with you.
Trade it all just to be with you.
For close to an hour I've been asleep standing still.
They haven't noticed but she probably will.
So don't wake me. Please don't wake me.
Through everything I lost, and all the shit it cost
I'd trade this all just to sit with you.
Trade it all just to be with you.
I'd trade this all for you.
So don't wake me.
So don't wake...
Imagine you've read this or you probably will.
For more information I'd beg, borrow or steal
If you'd save me. Please save me.
Through everything I lost and all the shit it cost,
It still kills me when you cry.
The way I feel haunts me, Jess I try.
You know I will trade this all just to sit with you.
Trade it all just to be with you.
Quit analysing everything I say,
Stop policing me,
Ooo Ooo, Ooo Ooo
You have nothing on me,
Blank page, funny that,
Ooo Ooo, Ooo Ooo
Do you remember every word I say,
Essentially, yes,
Ooo Ooo, Ooo Ooo
Now stare right back at me,
Blank faced, figured that,
Ooo Ooo, Ooo Ooo

You're such a quiet, quiet achiever
I hope she wakes up
Really hope she wakes up
I can't remember what she said
I'll take a bullet to the head
What a joke, get good nights rest?! I barely get required sleep
He's a gun I confess, he's a gun
So quiet, quiet achiever
You make it out of wood and snow
Just let it go, let it go
I hope she wakes up
Really hope she wakes up
I can't remeber what she said
I'll take a bullet in the head
Here's a joke: i'm blessed that i can still get some sleep
He's a gun, it's a test, it's a gun
So quiet, quiet achiever,
you make it out of wood and snow
Just let it go, let it go
So quiet, quiet achiever
I hope she wakes up
Really hope she wakes up
now that i can see the tragedy, that's killing me
i will not lie down
it only happens when you're close to me, now you're too clean
for me to fuck you round
every night i tune right out just for the simple fact
that you are not around (you are not around)
i can escape the dreams of you because i know what i have found
and if i had some sort of temporary insanity, i could shift the blame
to the illness that infected me, so casually
to you it's just a game
every night i tune right out just for the simple fact
that you are not around (you are not around)
i can escape the dreams of you because i know what i have found
how could you?
you'd be much better off than them.
so fire away.. just fire away .. so anyway, so fire away.
how deep can i just cut away? until i hit something of importance?.. would you feel it anyway?
what doesn't kill me leaves me cold enough to shape and shave away this frozen heart.. would i need it anyway?
if only you were me and i was someone who could relay this back to us.
so fire away.. just fire away .. so anyway, so fire away.
just fire away.

Train, of thought,
I've been riding on has been derailed...
All lives were lost,
My, seat, of choice,
Had been taken up by someone's corpse...
Guess I'll just stand,
Ooo Ooo Ooo, Ooo Ooo Ooo, Ooo-ooo,
Ooo Ooo Ooo, Ooo Ooo Ooo, Ooo-ooo,
Try, this time, to recover memories-
Colours fade.. to a dark shade,
This, train, of thought,
I've been riding on has been derailed...
All lives were lost.
Ooo Ooo Ooo, Ooo Ooo Ooo, Ooo-ooo,
Ooo Ooo Ooo, Ooo Ooo Ooo, Ooo-ooo,

Ever noticed how our roles have changed?
From what I gather anyway,
Hear me, hear me - punished for silence,
Hear me, hear me - should I die down?
I'll push aside this fear you left me,
I'll burn the signs in secrecy,
You light the sky, with tragic beauty,
Now drown it all, in sacred sea,

Revealed everything,
This list goes on and on,
You try, try to forget me,
I think not,
Lifeless and empty,
This grave I have dug thee,
Sit back, relax,
I promise you confidence in confidentiality,
Here your life will stand still,
(Fading ink) will try to ease the pain,
Words washed away by rain,
My list goes on and on,
Just try, just try,
To read between the lines,
Pointless and messy,
This grave I have dug thee,

Shut up and listen, and come out of the cold.
I'll awake this sleeping dragon now and I'll probably ask for directions - ya never know.
Take a left at the pass. Take another left past the lake. Don't forget, read the signs.
Credible your witness. Can I take a stab at your cake? Kiss the scene goodbye.
I guess you know. I guess I heard. I guess I know you hurt.
I guess I know, unless I hurt. But this is just a guess.
I will scream your name, as I breakout in time.
I will be the same, still the man of many lives.
Shut up and listen, and come out of the cold.
Time away has simply left me down so I'll promptly ask for affection - ya never know.
Dream your name, 'til I break down and die.
I will be the same, still the man of many lives.
Still the man of many lines ... Still the man of many lies.
Goodbye.
I guess you know. I guess I heard. I guess I know you hurt.

We'll drive for the storm again,
Holding onto the scent,
Everything gets in the way, in the way now

Everything gets in the way, in the way now

I'll drive you sing the refrain..

Our hi-beams cut the rain..

honey I miss your bright blue eyes
I've learned from my lessons
to keep away from you when you're like this
i mean when I'm in the wrong.
Sing it Sing it

I promised you the world
sorry I didn't follow through.
I need you to promise me.
Sing it Sing it

Five steps to falling.
Sing it Sing it yeah.

you're missing from this bed I made for you
you're missing from this bed I made for you
you're missing from this bed I made for you
Focus on me baby.
Way to flood my headspace (I'd kill for you)
I know I kept you waiting (I'd wait for you)
Oh. I'd kill for you
You're keeping up such a good pace (I'll keep to you)
Sucks you kept me waiting (I'll creep to you)
Ohhh I'd kill for you
Whooooowooo i'll kill for you
whooooowooo i'll kill for you
whooooowooo i'll kill for you
If you run, you know that I'll give chase
But the chances are you'd lose me
I hate that and hate that
I'd kill for you
Way to flood my headspace (I'd kill for you)
I know I kept you waiting (I'd wait for you)
Oh. I'd kill for you
Whooooowooo i'll kill for you

I'd burn for you
I'd burn for you
Like a lost freight train
A seven-forty-seven with no pilot at the reigns
Stay with me
Man you can keep your fame
Jam it up a gear as I got to get away
What do I know? I'm 6 foot none
I got your silver bullets, where's your goddamn gun?
Girl I can see your pain
Standing on the corner trying to shelter from the rain
Looking like you're interested so that people think
you're sane
I think I know your name
Shit we think the same
This is not a game I play discretely
Even if it does sound kind of creepy
I'll make sure you're tucked in when I leave you
So no one else can get to you
Like a drunk Mark Twain
Spitting out your venom with no fire in the flames
Stay with me
What do I know about pain?
Did you start to think this might be driving me insane?
Looking like you're innocent so that people think
you're playing
Forget the early train
Shit we think the same
This is not a game, this is not a game...
This is not a game I play discretely
Even if it does sound kind of creepy
I'll make sure you're tucked in when I leave you
So no one else can get to you
We can hear the rain come down secretly
Your looks got me kind of weak in the knees
I'd burn for you
I'd burn for you
Man you can keep your change
I wouldn't spend it anyway
I wouldn't know where to start
Girl I can see your pain
Girl I can see your pain
I think I know your name
Shit we think the same
This is not a game I play discretely
Even if it does sound kind of creepy
I'll make sure you're tucked in when I leave you
So no one else can get to you
We can hear the rain come down secretly
Your looks got me kind of weak in the knees
I'd burn for you
I'd burn for you
I'd burn for you
In the early 80's when I washed up on the shore
I could breathe a little more then I would realise
You can call me crazy, you can call me what you will
You could take the bitter pill, if it helps you sleep at night
CHORUS
It's a long long way my crooked friend
Such a long long way back home..........home.........hooooome
So close, yet we've come so far
So close, still we've got so far
I can safely say we feel as safe as we like
Lest we forget those who die, I never will
Such a perfect Island, tucked away in the sea
The real land of the free, do you hear me
It's a long way home my crooked friend
But i do appreciate the time we spent
It's a long long way back home
Such a long long way back home..........home.........hooooome
So close, yet we've come so far
So close, still we've got so far
Repeat 3 times
Hang up the phone, no need to cry.
I'll take you home, it'll be alright.
Tonight means nothing if we stay.
Staying here will only breed obsession, and I'm already obsessed.
If everything you see is your possession, then I'm already possessed.
Careful kid - this is not your song, although it could be before too long.
Before too long, a lesson learned; to stand downwind and watch it burn,
To the lake, wash away any trace of yesterday.
I'll take you home, it'll be alright.
Tonight means nothing if we stay.
The night means nothing.
Staying here will only breed obsession, and I'm already obsessed.
If everything you see is your possession, then I'm already possessed.
Careful kid - this is not your song, although it could be before too long.
Had you ever thought of waking up?
Undercover, never letting up?
Tonight means nothing if we stay.
The night means nothing.
Staying here will only breed obsession, and I'm already obsessed.
If everything you see is your possession, then I'm already possessed.
Careful kid - this is not your song, although it could be before too long.
Before too long, a lesson learned; to stand downwind and watch it burn,
To the lake, wash away any trace of yesterday.
Had you ever thought of waking up?
You can take back everything that I've owned since we started.
Just don't let the light in.
This is mighty sudden.
I confess, it would be best for you to wake up now.
Distress, it would be good if you could wake up now.
Straight ahead? He asked. Straight ahead, we said. (Wake up now)
Straight ahead? He asked. Straight ahead, we said. (Wake up now)
Should you accept this mission, collect the fact from fiction.
Help me trust your mighty wisdom.
You can take back everything that I've owned since we started.

You can take back everything that I've owned since we started.
Just don't let the light in.
This is mighty sudden.
This is my new start.
Now I stress, the girl knows best, and I should wake up now.
Discreet. Sure would be neat if I could wake up now.
You can take back everything that I've owned since we started.
Just don't let the light in.
This is mighty sudden.

How am I supposed to see since you stole my eyes from me?
I took you to miniature world €" you still felt small.
Misery misery €" misery misery. Simple it is simple. Simple is simple.
I forget every single word you tell me. Simple it is simple. Simple is simple.
Ba-da-da...
Forget the things I€™m missing. This life away €" I€™m pissing. You amount to me - You account for me.
Oh€ I let you down. I fucken let you down.
Truly drunk enough to talk to you,
We sat until 4AM, flicking through an atlas.
Comparing destinations repeating conversations.
For you I'll stay awake, awake
For this I'll stay awake, awake
Pins and needles in my arm that you're leaning on.
Comfort? There is none, at least we're touching.
Drinking to every sunset, we were sleeping through every sunrise.
For you I'll stay awake, awake
For this I'll stay awake, awake
Drinking to every sunset, we were sleeping through every sunrise.
For you I'll stay awake, awake
For this I'll stay awake, awake
For you I'll stay awake
For this I'll stay awake
For this I'll stay for
You I'll stay awake for you
I've been watching the clock all night, i'm done.. i know the night is young.
You've been talking the ears clean off my head..
Therefore i haven't heard a word you've said.
Anyway.. we fall away.. your tongue is bleeding from all your sharp words.
Could you hit me from where i am?
And would you hit me now where i stand?
I've been listening you know that.. obviously you know that.
Anyway.. we fall away.. your tongue is bleeding now.
Anyway.. it's the way.. i am leaving now.
I can't breathe.
Anyway.. it's the way.. my throat is bleeding now.
Anyway.. it's the way.. i am leaving now.
I can't breathe.
I mean, come on,
You hope I learn from this,
I'll right this wrong,
You don't deserve torture such as this,
I'll dig a hole and get this buried,
You understood but forget I said it,
And another thing that will divide,
Before words escape me (escape me),
Let me say this properly,
I miss you,
Take you for granted, I miss out,
Take us for granted and I will miss out,
I miss you,
Come on, come on, come on,
I know we're bigger than this,
Come on, come on, come on,
There's no where that is better than this,
I'll call a hearse to get this buried,
Misunderstood just forget I said it,
Yeah and another thing, can I subscribe,
Before words escape me (escape me),
Let me say this properly,
I miss you,
I miss you,
I miss you,
Let me say this properly,
Before words escape me
Let me say this properly
I...
Take you for granted, I miss out,
Take this for granted and I will miss out,
Take you for granted, I miss out,
Take us for granted and I will miss out,
I miss you,
Take this for granted, I miss out,
Take you for granted and I will miss out,
I miss you,
I miss you,
From the brightest side of this star, I'll forget just who you are.
As you lie like lounge room lizards - If you speak then I know where you are.
Each time you fix it, it just falls apart. (hock it in)
You won't get shit from a busted heart. (let me see)
Your goddamn money, I'll prove it to you. Let me see, let me through.
It's agreed we'll follow you, just as long as this compass is true.
If it's not, then I guess follow me. Let me see, let me through.
Each time you fix it, it just falls apart. (hock it in)
You won't get shit for a busted heart. (let me see)
Your dirty money, I'll prove it to you. Let me see, let me through.
Take twenty two of three, then we'll see how well she takes it, if she makes it.
Don't let her fall asleep, click of fingers and she takes it, she fakes it.
But we broke up oh so long ago.
Cover me, and I'll cover you. I can sense that our company's true.
If it's not, then I guess we can leave. Let me see, let me through.
But we broke up oh so long ago.
Take twenty two of three, then we'll see how well she takes it, if she makes it.
Don't let her fall asleep, click of fingers and she takes it, she fakes it.
But we broke up oh so long ago.
From the brightest side of this star, I'll forget just who you are.

I'm the last chapter in your boring book
i was a broken jaw, why did i mend this way?
Called you from a distance, only made me madder.
Man, you missed the point completely.
I said you have missed the point completely.
Nothing to gain? Are you quite sure? Is that your blood on the floor?
Anything more?
If it's a game, help me keep score. Was that your name on the door?
Can I see more?
The simple lie. A simple line like this one.
Now leave it all to burn.
The symbol line. The simple lie. Light this one.
Then leave it all to burn.
Are you insane? Are you quite sure? Is that your blood on the floor?
Anything more?
If it's the same, let me see more. Is that your note on my door?
Can I see more?
Called you from a distance. Only made me madder.
Man, you missed the point completely.
I said you have missed the point completely.
Take it back! Take it back!
Take it back! Take it back!
Take it back!
The simple lie. A simple line like this one.
Now leave it all to burn.
The symbol line. The simple lie. Light this one
Then leave it all to burn.
Called you from a distance, only made me madder.
Man, you missed the point completely.
Question my existence, nothing makes me sadder.
Man, you missed the point completely.
You have missed the point completely.
Doctor Doctor help me
Doctor Doctor help me
Try to, try to help me
Doctor Doctor help me
Welcome back to the Sunday before you cut me,
Thinking back to the Monday you tried to blame me,
Looking back remember your revenge attacked me,
Rush of blood to the head of your line that crossed me,
Looking out, taking cover in case you saw me,
From the top, taking note of the notes you wrote me,
Looking back remember your attention drew me,
Hear me out, double cross - just cross me,
Doctor Doctor help me (help me)
Doctor Doctor help me (when will I see?)
Try to, try to help me (help me)
Doctor Doctor help me (when will I see?)
Hope you die for the misery that you gave me.
Hope you die, hope you die - love from me.
Doctor Doctor help me (help me)
Doctor Doctor help me (when will i see?)
Try to, try to help me (help me)
Get down, get down, get down
Get down (are you listening?)
Get down, get down, get down
Get down (listen to this)
When I start I master the art of getting down to the heart
And set apart to spark emotion a the slightest sound
It's probably one of the realest topics ever spoke upon
Speech that God will impeach
Swallow the chunks which you choke upon
I'm gifted I know it
Still I was wandering in the path
They tell me boy you're a star, Sign me your autograph
This can't be it though, mind gone staring into space
Sorry, where was I? Thoughts gone without a trace
Was the love of my life, hip-hop guided my life
A combination of the three that would probably me nice
After doing suffice I break the ice with device
And take advice that comes with the price of rolling the dice
Get down, get down, get down
Get down (are you listening?)
Get down, get down, get down (yeah)
Get down (This me right here?) (Listen to this)
I get down with whatever
Pound to the sound of the ground any weather
Storms may come but conform me never
My mind transformed by words
Born to forever live with scorn
But still I'd rather walk in the light of the truth presented
I never understood grace till I really repented
Till I truly committed my total self admitted
Now my hustle has found purpose
And pimpin' I gotta get it
Even if bloodshed if part of my quest
I'm embracin' my deathbed
Till I'm collectin' the rest
I ain't leavin' with out receiving what was meant for me
God's will being fulfilled through my life complete
Get down
Get down, get down, get down
Get down (are you listening?)
Get down, get down, get down
Get down (listen to this)
Get down, get down, get down
Get down (are you listening?)
Get down, get down, get down
Get down (listen to this, hey) (repeat to fade)
(Fading)
Let me get at the verse
Let me get at the vocal
Let me be real as I slowly approach you
Tell me your feelings on the world's conditions
Sign away but let me get your permission
So thankyou for the struggle,
we trapped him in the jungle somewhere.
Get out there on the double,
he's stranded in the jungle somewhere.
Can I crawl under your bed,
when it crawls upside my head?
She will come to set the night alight
and leave you burning in your bed.
You.
So I'm packing for next April,
and you don't seem very able to scream.
I'm out there in the trouble,
your stranded in the jungle somewhere.
Can I crawl under your bed,
when it crawls upside my head?
She will come to set the night alight
and leave you burning in your bed.
I'll keep you burning in your bed.
Can I crawl under your bed,
when it crawls upside my head?
She will come to set the night alight
just give me one dance, one dance with you, ohhhhh
just a slow dance so im nearing you, ohhhhh
take my hand, then let go just let go
take my hand and lets go so lets go
did i hear you scream through the windscreen when you dropped me off
CHORUS
we've said it before and we'll say it again this time this time it's much different, stop fixing the score, when you cheat i can tell
this time, this time, this time it's much different
from top stands i will get to you, ohhhhh
with my guitar in hand i'll play as if i knew, ohhhhh
i understand now let go just let go
take my hand and lets go so lets go
did i hear you scream through the windscreen when you dropped me off
did i steal your dream if i made a scene, would you top me off
CHORUS
give me one dance, take my hand
just a slow dance
just a slow dance, take my hand
just a slow dance
We've said it before, we wont say it again
this time, this time it's much different
When you cheat i can tell, when you cheat i can tell
this time, this time, this time, next time
when you cheat i can tell, when you cheat i can tell
Here's what I think about you and how your friends
How your friends adore your sudden glory
Heres what I know about you and all your trends
And all the times we made believe a story
Heres what I think about making face
Without a grain of doubt its all I think about, its all in my mind
Its best I make a sound before I hit the ground
Run away from it all
Its what I think about, its what I know about, its what I care about
Pain wont go away even when the drugs say, I wont regret
Time heals so Im told, I could never be sold, I dont forget
And if I should start to wonder, pull me out from the rock Im under
Heres what I think about vacant space
Without a grain of doubt its all I think about, its all in my mind
I better hit the town before the rain comes down
Run away from it all
Far away from it all
Pain wont go away even when the drugs say, I wont regret
Time heals so Im told, I could never be sold, I dont forget
Hey Dave, youre so brave, I can never be saved, take it from me
He said, she said, even if theyre not dead, bring them to me
Run away from it all, from it all
Pain wont go away even if the drugs stay, I dont regret
Time heals so Im told, I could never be sold, I wont forget.
I wont forget.
Take time, and control that time
You're never normal
Then sit, in your fold-up chair
Why aren't you normal?
Whoa-oh, i see the rain in your eyes
Grey as june skies
And it's only november
This is the only time.
You'll see me beg.
Whoa-oh, i see the rain in your eyes
Grey as june skies
And it's only november
Only november.
Whoa-oh, i see the rain in your eyes
Grey as june skies
It was a hell of a climb
and I swear that I searched everywhere but I'm damned if I could find
your promise ring
Like a candle in the window
I was waiting till the cold winds blow
I did ten years for my crime.
So tonight I think I'll just take my time... for tonight I sing of big and better things.
I best sing before the lights go out.
Time.
Sing before the lights go out.
Time.
I share no secrets. I know you won't keep them anyway.
Hate kills time and time kills haters
They look good but I feel greater hey.
No way
Hate to say it but I've seen that face before.
Exact whereabouts? I'm not so sure.
I'll figure out your name come morning,
But your scent is something I should know.
...I'm not that far away.
Take control before things get away.
I'm sleeping while the sun is dawning. it will never ever, ever know.
Take it.
Won't make it.
I've fallen asleep at the wheel.
If I had left in time we wouldn't be behind, but be careful what you wish for.
Stay here while I check her pulse - it could be someone else!
Be careful... Oh be careful...
I'd figure out your name by morning.
Still your scent is one thing I should know.
I'm sleeping while the sun is dawning. it will never ever, ever, ever know.
...I'm not that far away.
Take control before things get away.
I've fallen asleep at the wheel.
If I'd have left in time we wouldn't be behind, but be careful what you wish for.
Stay here while I check her pulse - it could be someone else!
Be careful... Oh be careful...
I've figured your name out by morning.
I'm sleeping while the sun is dawning.
Take it. (take the turn)
Won't make it. (and watch it burn)
Oh to watch you burn... oh to watch you burn.
I've figured out your name by morning.
I'm sleeping while the sun is dawning.
I said that if I'd have left in timewe wouldn't be left behind, but be careful what you wish for.
Stay here while I check her pulse - it could be someone else!
Be careful... Oh be careful...
Take it.
Won't make it.
In the early 80's when i washed up on the shore
I could breathe a little more than i would realize
You can call me crazy, you can call me what you will
You could take the bitter pill, if it helps you sleep at night
Its a long long way my crooked friend
Such a long long way back
Home
So close, yet we've come so far
So close, still we've got so far
I can safely say we feel as safe as we like
Lest we forget those who die, I never will
Such a perfect Island, tucked away in the sea
The real land of the free, do you here me
Its a long way home my crooked friend
But i do appreciate the time we spent
Its a long long way back home
Such a long long way back
Home
So close, yet we've come so far
So close, still we've got so far (x3)
I've been working with wood
It's the only way to get you out of my head
It's doing me good
Do you know the way like I know the way?
I'd drop dead if I could
Must be easier ways to get you to come home
It's doing me good
It's the only...
Man, it's the only thing I know how to do
I'm still working with wood
It's the only way to get you back home
It's doing no good
Do you know your way like I know the way?
I'd drop dead if I could (I'd drop dead if I could)
Must be easier ways to get you to come home
It's doing me good
It's the only...
Man, it's the only thing I know how to do
Can I relate to you?
No calling up anyone else
You know I could taste it
Go drinking with anyone else
Do you know I would waste it
If you're digging on anyone else
I know I should face it
If you're with anyone else
You know I could taste it
I know I could leave a note
And take my vote
But what good would that do me?
No calling up anyone else
You know I could chase it
If you're with anyone else
You know I could taste it
If you're digging up anyone else
You know I should face it
Go drinking with anyone else
You know I would waste it
So go kissing on anyone else
I just wouldn't waste it
If you're with anyone else
You know I could taste it, taste it, taste it
If I could leave a note
I'd take my vote
Since you're here then let me speak to you
Turn off duran duran.
Then let me rest my head against your head
Turn off our brains again.
I'm not dead nor dying. (x2)
Taking time off trying. dead nor dying
Since you're here then let me comfort you
Turn off duran duran
We'll both swell up with tears, and both turn red
Turn off again, again
I'm not dead nor dying. (x2)
Taking time off trying. dead nor dying
I'm not dead nor dying. (x2)
Taking time off crying. dead nor dying
We're not dead nor dying. (x2)
All I really want, from you
Is just the answer to
What you're always mad at me for, mad at me for
When I separate our years, it doubles all the fears
All I really want is just a handshake and a greeting, that's all I want from you
All I really want is just a thankyou and a smile, from anyone but you
I'll make it nice and easy
I'll break it down one time
For you. for you
When all your colours turn to grey, grey-yay-yay-yay
Then all my colours are just grey.
All I really want is just a handshake and a greeting, that's all I want from you
All I really want is just a thankyou and a smile, from anyone but you
Silently silent...
All I really want is just a handshake and a greeting, that's all I want from you
All I really want is just a thankyou and a smile, from anyone but you
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
I can lead by example
but you find it of crime.
Is it best for you I don't get no weirder?
I can leave my possessions
Take you home on the rise
From a love ... all best gone get?
Thinkin' bout you every day
Nothing can replace the love in your eyes.
Stickin' around the cemetery
it never really gets to me
I don't go out I don't go out
What comfort was there
while we're waiting for the Reaper to come
Come on!
Truth torture or dare
And we're waiting for glimpse of the sun
Some of the places I know
some of the places I've seen well.
They would never try face the devil in me.
Some of the places I know
Most others I haven't been to.
Listen while you get what you get
I can dance to perfection
I'm the father of time.
Is it obvious I ain't go no rhythm
But I lead with intention
And I swagger with style.
This is best for you
you're gonna get what you get.
Thinkin' bout you every day
nothing can replace the love in your eyes.
Sickin' around the cemetery
it never really gets to me
Stickin' around the cemetery
it never really gets to me.
What comfort was there
As we're waiting for a glimpse of the sun
the sun so
Some of the places I know
Some of the places I've seen well.
They would never try face the devil in me.
Some of the places I know
Most others I haven't been to.
Listen while you get what you get.
In the sun in the sun
where the damage is done
i'm looking forward to the moon tonight
(sun)
Some of the places I know
Some of the places I've seen well.
They would never try face the devil in me.
Some of the places I know
Most others I haven't been to.
Listen while you get what you get.
(In the sun in the sun .)
Best for you
You're gonna get what you get
I'm really gonna pack in this new job i do
It's gonna be the death of me
I went to a party of some girl that i knew
At least the alcohol was free
With all the family around
We couldn't find a common ground
And so we left with what we found
When we first came, so
Where you been, where you been, where'd you go?
Leavin' me alone and I'm feelin' low
I'm supposed to be the one you want
I'm supposed to be the one you want
I'm supposed to be the one you want
I know that I don't earn 100 points in bed
But will you love me anyway?
It's just there's so much goin on in my head
That I don't know what to say... say... say
Your car rolled away out of sight
You cannot leave without a fight
Ok you lose so we were right
When we first came, so
Where you been, where you been, where'd you go?
Leavin' me alone and I'm feelin' low
I'm supposed to be the one you want
I'm supposed to be the one you want
I say, where you been, where you been, where'd you go?
Leavin me alone and i'm feelin low
I'm supposed to be the one you want
I'm supposed to be the one you want
say it to the sky,
"I see it in her eye."
A weapon or a pen?
I never will again.
Say it to the sky,
"You won't guess where I am,"
Say it to the sky,
"I hope you understand that...
I am watching you go crazy.
It's revolting me, I'm hazy,
Like a thunderstorm you wake me,
With a simple compliment and love."
I shot the shit.
I fucked the fake.
That said, I can do it anyway I want...
I'm licking my wounds.
I'll shut my eyes.
I'll meditate.
That said, I couldn't do it even if I tried...
I'm still inside you.
Say it to the sky,
"Have you guessed where I am?"
Say it to the sky,
"I hope you hear me."
Say it to the sky,
"We see it in her eye."
An enemy or friend?
It happens in the end...
A weapon or a pen?
...Watching you go crazy.
Like a thunderstorm you wake me,
with a simple compliment and love.
I shot the shit.
I fucked the fake.
That said, I can do it anyway I want...
I'm still inside you.
I'll shut my eyes.
I'll meditate.
That said, I couldn't do it even if I tried...
You know that window in your basement?
I used to sleep outside it.
Now I'm inside hiding from you.
If you wake up in the morning,
I haven't done my job right.
Not from lack of trying.
It's just love.
Darling, I will set this straight.
Tomorrow's a new day.
Okay? Okay.
Didn't wake up in the morning,
I must've done my job right.
Thanks to careful planning.
And some luck.
Fell asleep beneath your bed.
Been under there for days,
Okay? Okay.
You're one, just one step in front of me.
I bet that it won't make the evening news.
That I'm stalking you,
In your sleep.
Darling, I have set you straight.
One hundred times too late,
Okay? Okay.
You're one, just one step in front of me.
I just met my new replacement.
He's coming thirteen times today.
(Whoa)
Says if it breathes I'll have to take it.
Make it stay, make it stay.
What comes around goes around, oh, my darling girl.
What goes around comes around.
My darling girl.
You're one, just one step in front of me.
You'll get, you'll get nothing out of me.
I just met my new replacement.
(Just one step in front of me)
He's coming thirteen times today.
(You'll get nothing out of me)
Says if it breathes I'll have to take.
Yes, if it breathes I'll, yes, I'll,
Take its place, make it stay.
Better hope that in the morning.
You don't find this creepy.

Always such a fast girl
Always such a fast girl
Always such a...fast...girl
Are you this involved with everything?
Take back this, hey where do I begin?
Always such a fast girl
Always such a...fast...girl
Are you this involved with everything?
Knew it couldn't last well
I showed you
I can't breathe
I'll be home soon
Are you this involved in everything?
Are you this involved with everything?
As I said come back for me
The back burn kept us high and dry, dry
High and dry, dry
Nothing left for us to steal
My fast girl
I can't leave
I'll breathe more soon
Are you this involved in everything?
Are you this involved with everything?
When I said get back to me
The back burn kept us high and dry, dry
High and dry, dry
High and..
Break apart
Break her, break her
Break apart
Break her, break her
Always such a fast girl
Always such a...fast...girl
Are you this involved in everything?

Are you this involved in everything?
Are you this involved with everything?

I've seen too much, best I should run
I can't escape from what I've done
This ship was never meant to sink
Jealousy, jealousy, jealousy, jealousy
As I stare hard into the sun
I can't believe just what I'd done
Did you put something in my drink?
Keep my head on straight -- keep my brains intact
Keep my marbles inside -- Show me how to act
Keep me in control of my situation
My gyroscope inside, it's all mine
Shrink my head down if you can
Find out what makes me a man
Get your periscope and peer right inside
Come face to face with it
Pushed on your side
Lose all your self control
Worlds will collide
Inside out, you can't cope
My gyroscope
Witness the fall from grace
You shed your skin
Change if it pleases you
Just don't give in
Inside out, you can't cope
My gyroscope
Quiet now she said
You're waking up the dead
I cradle the excuse
In love with the abuse
I handle it with ease
It's a dignified disease
Slow down
Soul searching breaks you down
You'll never learn
Annihilate yourself
All things must burn
Inside out, you can't cope
My gyroscope (repeat)
Quiet now she said
You're waking up the dead
I cradle the excuse
