I can't let nothing come in between the two of us.
Cuz it's like your all i need since we've been together. And whenever I'm in need of a little
love, it's okay for me to open up. But i just can't give my heart to anyone else.
Some only come in your life for a season, and stay a while, giving you a reason to take
temporary and think that it's forever. And you've given me someone that I can believe in. I
know that there will be times we can't come to an agreement. But i know we'll figure out the
up's and down's. Tell me are you willing to take a chance? Baby if so...
We go, We go
Let me put you in my hands
Come on, Come on
I wanna be your man
Let's do it right
So that's you'll be with me a lifetime
She'll know and I know
Don't think that I'm talkin crazy
Your mama and my mama want some grand babies tonight
Want you to be with me a lifetime
I used to think it was hopeless and I should just give it up. But I couldn't stop until I
found myself a good girl to be in love. I checked every state and city and looked all around
the world. And I'm proud to say that my search ends here. Cuz your one in a million to me and I
can't let you go.
Some only come in your life for a season, and stay a while, giving you a reason to take

know that there will be times we can't come to an agreement. But i know we'll figure out the
up's and down's. Tell me are you willing to take a chance? Baby if so...
Listen
Seasons are truly meant to chance
However love can be the reason you fall
And when you find that spacial someone
You will be willing to give them a lifetime
I love you and I choose you
Follow me
Some only come in your life for a season, and stay a while, giving you a reason to take
temporary and think that it's forever. And you've given me someone that I can believe in. I
know that there will be times we can't come to an agreement. But i know we'll figure out the
reborn, in another place
vanishing without a trace
daylight in another time
disappear without a sign
restore what we had before
vanishing in spite of all
a clear view of a fallen dream
the one we will never see
well waited a life time to make up your mind
wait for the right time for you moment to arrive, to arrive
reborn, in another place
vanishing without a trace
daylight in another time
disappear without a sign
the first light of the first day
can light your path along the way
and all you kill, and all you take
and all you fix and all you break
well waited a life time to make up your mind
wait for the right time for you moment to arrive, to arrive
reborn, in another place
vanishing without a trace
daylight in another time
disappear without a sign
if you hide from yourself
you won't see no one else
if you hide from yourself
you won't see no one else
well waited a life time to make up your mind
wait for the right time for you moment to arrive, to arrive
reborn, in another place
vanishing without a trace
daylight in another time
disappear without a sign
In times I turned to you
With a fist full of broken pride
I was left standing there
Hollowed out inside
So why do you think I'm running
Far from you?
There are some wounds
That your love can't heal
Put out, hurt, and starving
Tell me, are you asleep at the wheel?
Where have you gone?
I think there's something wrong
And this blackheart says it's true
And I guess I know it's true
And this blackheart says it's true
Well I can't believe in you
And this blackheart says it's true
And I guess I know it's true
And this blackheart says it's
So now I turn to you
With a pale gaze from my eyes
And a sinking feeling I was wronged
So now we turn away
From the bullshit laid before us
Tell me is there something I should do?
And this blackheart says it's true
And I guess I know it's true
And this blackheart says it's true
Well I can't believe in you
And this blackheart says it's true
And I guess I know it's true
And this blackheart says it's
True
So take what you want from me
Cause I don't care
Relieve me of my misery
Do the worst that you can
I'll pray
Pray at your alter
Fall down at your knees
Leave me faithless on the floor
And do what you please
And this blackheart says it's true
And I guess I know it's true
And this blackheart says it's true
Well I can't believe in you
And this blackheart says it's true
And I guess I know it's true
And this blackheart says it's
True
I've got to be found
Last night I had me a dream son
The end of the world could be seen
No sign of life could I feel son
Nothing was what it had been
Black as the night, life out of sight
You can't imagine the scene
Last night I had me a dream son
The end of the world could be seen
I didn't know where to turn son
The absence of life was obscene
The end of time or just in my mind
I know that it's hard to believe
And I can almost see the end of the world
And I can almost see the end of the world
So give me a minute
And I'll put you in it
But you must never return
It could occur any day son
Just you remember and pray
You have what you love
Now love what you have
And maybe then you will last a bit longer
Last night I had a dream
The strangest that I'd ever seen
Yes you were there and you were
Telling everybody not to worry
Just let it be
Then you led me to believe
Everything happens in threes
But as you spoke then I awoke
Only to find that we'd arrived
He said, "this ain't me, but I gotta eat
And feed my kid, y'know this place ain't cheap
Well you can saint or damn me but I don't care
Don't condemn me, don't commend me now..."
Another round, his guts spill out
Turns out his ships run aground and my head just swims around
"...so pour another, it's 3 AM, oh god this is insane
It's killing me, it's killing me
I know, I know I walked away but it's you I'll always blame
And it's killing me
If my liver swells up out on the floor
I'll nail it to your door..."
Don't be cheap, I've been discreet
And all these victories have been bittersweet
We both made our beds you just piss the sheets
Don't condemn me, don't condemn me now
"...I took my bow, I know that know, I just can't
Remember how we let these grapes turn so sour..."
So pour another, it's 4 AM, oh god this is insane
It's killing me, it's killing me
You're the one that ran away and attached yourself to chains
And it's killing me
If your heart swells up and spills out on the floor
I'd let it go
Surprise, surprise I'm here a three beer
Buzz has got the best of you again
You torn out what's left of my faith in
You I guess I'm too old to pretend
You're burning out
I kind of get the feeling that you're still the same,
You're burning out you haven't changed
I kind of get the feeling that you're still the same,
How'd I get back here at this?
Another sleepless night dismissed
It might take a day to get back and figure out what I missed
How'd I get back here at this?
My knuckles white clenched into fists
I might need a day to get back and figure out what I missed
I've been losing sleep for days trying to claim
What little stake I have and why my heart betrays
I'd bail out if it made me free, I'd run but I can barely breathe
How'd I get back here at this? Another cheap attempt at bliss
It might take more than this bottle
To forget about what I missed
How'd I get back here at this? I'm feeling torn just to exist
I guess I need more time to process
The feelings I once dismissed
I've been losing you for days playing this game
I've been using up again my ways to kill this pain
My reasons propped up on this candy cane
It cures my stroke of bad luck and my heart attack of shame
I'd bail out if it made me free, I'd bail out if it made you see
I'd run but I can barely breathe
I'd rather run away, crawl away
Than have you perceive my slow decay
I can barely breathe and these cuts heal but they won't bleed
We could have a knock-down-drag-out
Or face what's been the case...
But it could end up in disgrace
What if we tried to relocate it?
Not too long ago
I made a resolution I can keep
You promised me salvation
I promised you another week
Although I think I'm dying,
If you were me tell me what you'd do
I'm stepping out on this limb now
Trying to break free from truth
And I can feel it in my heart
Whispering the faded change
Take me to the path of righteousness
But I just can't be saved
Still dancing with the devil,
The hour's growing near
My head's still in the gutter
Throw me to the wolves without a care
Still dream of something better,
A life without this fear
The concept slowly splinters,
I know now the hour's finally here
Not too far away lies something
Dormant, deep asleep
I told you I'd be faithful,
You said the devil's inside me
Although I think I'm trying,
Look down on me like you always do
I'm stepping out on this limb now
Trying to step away from you
And I can feel it in my heart
Whispering the faded change
Take me to the path of righteousness
But I just can't be saved
Still dancing with the devil,
The hour's growing near
My head's still in the gutter
Throw me to the wolves without a care
Still dream of something better,
A life without this fear
The concept slowly splinters,
I know now the hour's finally here
And I can feel it in my heart
Whispering the faded change
Take me to the path of righteousness
But I just can't be saved
Still dancing with the devil,
The hour's growing near
My head's still in the gutter
Throw me to the wolves without a care
Still dream of something better,
A life without this fear
The concept slowly splinters,
I know now the hour's finally here
Found a reason
Found a reason (finally here)
Found a reason
Found a reason (I know now the hour's finally here)
Found a reason
Found a reason (finally here)
Found a reason
hey angel can we dance on the edge of this disaster?
can we move on in spite of what we miss?
we're gasping suffocating trying to exist
the escape it's all a lie the agony persists
the trauma's lead to a bottomless despair
but i'd rather feel the sorrow
than act like i don't care
so breath in
if i'm supposed to feel this
i'll breath in
and taste this sweet disaster
i'm building calluses where i'm supposed to feel
and i'm betting all that's left on the chance there's
something real
forgive me i've sewn shut the crater in my chest
can you help me release the stitches and untie the mess?
the trauma's lead to a bottomless despair
but i'd rather feel the heartache
act like i don't care
so breath in
if i'm supposed to feel this
i'll breath in
and taste this sweet disaster
oh i've been here before
all balled up on the floor
if i can keep my arms 'round you
maybe you can help me through
'cause the game is rigged
and i don't want to have to beg any more of our friends
to come over and act like they don't know i'm losing it
to come over and act like they don't know i'm faking it
to come over and act like they don't know...
so breathe in
if i'm supposed to feel this
i'll breath in
and taste this sweet disaster
Old friend
All the stories to tell
Old friend
Could you bid me farewell
Old friend
It might be easy for another man to see
Old foe
All the pain and the scars
Old foe
Could you lay down your arms
Old foe
It might be easy for another man to see
Put your head down on my pillow
Put your hand on me and hold on
Hold on
Put your head down on my pillow
Put your hand on me and hold on
Hold on
Old friend
Old friend
Old friend
It might be easy for another man to see
No one's stabbing you in the back
and no one's gonna take away the feelings you got.
Stop creating misconceptions.
Inventing enemies and deceptions.
It's you, nothing you say's true.
Nothing you say's true.
No one's stabbing you in the back
and no one's gonna take away the feelings you got.
Stop creating misconceptions.
Inventing enemies and deceptions.
It's you, nothing you say's true.
Nothing you say's true.
I know you're just confused.
And I know I ain't the best.
But why put my heart to the test?
Can you turn the light on now?
I'm gonna grab my coat.
I'm not sticking around to watch you gloat... this time.
Cause it gets only close enough
So you'll know you'll never have her heart.
Just sometimes words and long waits inbetween,
When she tries hard to be mean.
You'll never have her heart.
But you'll probably hate her now.
You know she's just a name.
But with smoke in her hair,
I could still smell how sweet she would be to kiss.
And we talked about nothing until she had to go where second chances
And small talk could have kept me up all night.
Cause it gets only close enough
So you'll know you'll never have her heart.
Just sometimes words and long waits inbetween,
When she tries hard to be mean.
i thought i'd roll off your back i thought you'd be tougher than that
i've been acting really shitty you've been so stressed
and sometimes your just a pest
but counting your inadequacies seems a little silly pointless comes to mind
i hope you don't mind all those i didn't call sometimes i don't care at all
this is for you this is about you just get up you make me laugh
and i can't count the times you've made me smile
I think i've done it this time i think i've crossed that line
That i've been ignoring for so long comfort in fear tucked away
I feel warm and unafraid surrounded in shame falling to pieces
Tune the electric bass to the 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th string.
The boy's no good.
Yeah, he's a fuckin' hood.
He won't treat you like he should.
I heard he's making time with this friend of mine.
I heard he's talking trash.
I saw that kid last night.
He's starting fights.
He's got that nervous twitching.
He's just not the kid for you.
He's all dressed up.
He's got nothing to do, but he's got something.
He's cool as anything, but he's not good.
That boy's a fucking creep.
The boy's no good.
Yeah, he's a hood.
He won't treat you like he should.
I said the boy's no good.
He's a hood.
He won't treat you like I would.
I said the boy's no good.
Listen to what I say.
The boy's no good.
He'll fuck you anyway.
The boy's no good.
I'm gonna have a talk... the boy's no good.
you my friend my special friend i give thanks to you my dear friend
i won't pretend and say till the end but take time now and say thank you
i never said i was the best friend i could be the friend that you need
but still i take the time to thank before it's too late
take time now before a face in the crowd is what our friendships become
i thank you for the time we talked all night
and for the time you told me i'd be all right
thank you for listening and hearing my side thank you for being my friend
The kids won't come around tonight.
They're staying home.
And what if we played to only 23.
It's how we are.
And I heard you got us figured out.
And now there's talk about the band,
but we don't hear cause we don't care.
It's how we are.
It's how we are.
We'll go our way.
We may have changed, but we're still here and we came to play.
We'll go our way.
We may have changed, but we're still here.
The kids won't come around tonight.
They're staying home.
And what if we played to only 23.
It's how we are.
And I heard you got us figured out.
And now there's talk about the band,
but we don't hear cause we don't care.
It's how we are.
It's how we are.
Whoa.
Wouldn't you try to help me if you thought you could?
Can you see the sunset from the southside very good?
Yeah real good.
We are all alone tonight.
Nothing is easier.
We are alone, just by ourselves.
We are not normal.
And screwed up and mixed up.
All of us don't know where to begin doing for... doing for ourselves.
Can you see the sunset from the southside?
You can see it from the eastside too.
I still don't know a single purpose for the breath I draw.
Not alone... you're not alone, but with me you are.
All screwed up and mixed up.
All of us don't know where to begin doing for... doing for ourselves.
Can you see the sunset from the southside?
You can see it from the eastside too.
Can you see the sunset from the southside?
You can see it from the eastside too.
We are alone.
All of us don't know where to begin... We are alone.
All of us don't know where to begin... We are alone (alone).
All of us don't know (just don't know)
where to begin (begin) doing for ourselves.
We are alone (alone).
All of us don't know (just don't know)
where to begin (begin) doing for ourselves.
Doing for ourselves.
Doing for ourselves.
Doing for ourselves.
Doing for ourselves.
Doing for ourselves.
Doing for ourselves.
I keep on laughing and you're keeping track and
tonight I'll go back to the place I first knew that
I'd wait for you always on streets and in doorways where engines they die near the northeastern line and you mentioned a record that reminded me of a week that you couldn't get things out of your head I'm truly sorry
I missed that night it could have been the best time
but it's just timing she showed up unexpected and I
the train into town I put my collar down and pushed
through the door but if it's smiles you want talk to
"Irony Is For Suckers"
Tonight try not to think about things,
Just be happy for one night.
And maybe we could go get a drink
Or maybe you could take me for a drive.
I could show you where I used to live
And where I had my first smoke.
I wonder if you know that it's difficult for me,
Not knowing what to think of things.
Now I'm confused about everything.
It's just sometimes I don't mind.
You tell me everything keeps changing,
But you know that sometimes
It just seems like you're complaining.
You ask a million questions.
It seems so never ending.
You know sometimes I just wish you'd shut your trap.
Let's forget work and let's just listen to the clash
Cause I can wait.
Wait forever now.
Put it down.
Let's just walk away from everything
Cause it can't last forever.
I can see you're running out of patience with me.
Irony is for suckers.
Wait for me.
I fight to keep afloat i go under none the less
I fight for a breath of air search but it's not there
In this sea of people i find i am not an equal
I'm not satisfied should my dreams be denied
Catch me at a good time see a man with a purpose
Otherwise you'll find me with the rest blending into the background
I want to kick myself but i'm busy resting
I wonder why i complain when i'm equally to blame
Hardcore is not a background beat for you to move your dancing feet
Its feeling living breathing it's the life for those who love living it's outrage
Energy compassion not hate not violence or fashion
So i ask you and i'm left to wonder
What you'll do when you've dragged it under
You can't convince me you're not in misery.
I think you love the attention it brings.
You have the answers to a million, tiny, stupid questions.
You have direction but your feet won't budge.
You're so in love you huddle around yourselves.
You're so in love you show around yourself.
While everyone is in hell, you won't believe what is not your truth.
I can tell because you've got that smirk.
There's something in that head of yours.
All those things you said and done, never mean enough to someone.
It's not you, you think you're so different.
You haven't made a difference.
Don't hold your head so high,
Kissing Goodbye,
Tears in her eyes,
It's the last time, The last time you can be sure of,
But I can taste the salty kisses and the runny makeup,
Yea, it could be so boring
But she keeps crying,
And they keep kissing,
And I just hang about and listen
She's got to go,
She's got to go,
In the airport, in the morning, and I know
She's got to go
Now it's time they know,
They don't take a step,
Line keeps on pushing,
They won't stop kissing,
The airport is racing,
The smokers are pacing,
It just started raining,
Soon I'll have to go
But she keeps crying,
And they keep kissing,
And i just hang about and listen
But she's got to go,
She's got to go,
In the airport, In the morning, I know
She's got to go
In the morning, In the airport
She's crying and the phone rings
And you answer, and its quiet
And there's nothing that'll change the fact
That she's leaving tomorrow
And you'll be alone again with nothing to distract you
you watch the clock as it keeps ticking
(over and over)
Monday morning airport
(over and over)
1, 2, 3, 4. It was too loud to hear what you were thinking.
And somehow I knew I would be sleeping alone tonight,
but I figured that's alright.
Could you still walk home with me?
I don't wanna be wondering.
You couldn't keep me here.
It's you or two months on the road.
Just two months waiting by the phone.
She grew wings and I grew wheels.
And now the dust covers my heels.
You couldn't keep me here.
It's you or two months on the road.
Just two months waiting by the phone.
She grew wings and I grew wheels.
And now the dust covers my heels.
I sent your letter next day air.
No-dozed a lot and sat and stared.
I couldn't make it fifty pages in that book.
I'll pull into town when the saddest sun sets down.
And I'll see you at the show.
I hope you'll go.
You'll be there just waiting for me.
Just waiting for me.
I'll pull into town when the saddest sun sets down.
In order for you to play with this record,
You must tune your guitar to ours.
We will start with the first string...
We would drag ourselves to bed.
And sleep took everything I had.
I kept it up till he would call.
You made me feel like a criminal.
And then there's you,
You kept a smile though I would always walk the wire.
You gave it all.
I gave you reason to have doubt.
I had to get out of there.
I took the stairs.
I don't wanna fight with you if I can't be the one to have you.
You sat that chair like a queen in the kitchen.
I memorized the lines your eyes made at every squint you shot my way.
We would drag ourselves to bed.
And sleep took everything I had.
I kept it up till he would call.
You made me feel like a criminal.
And then there's you,
You kept a smile though I would always walk the wire.
But you're miserable and I'm useless,
Always making up excuses.
I made you cry too many times.
So I'm hanging up that line.
I'm throwing rocks at your floor.
I'm knocking down your front door.
I'm desperate tonight and I just wanna fight.
It's my confusion that lets me act so cold.
So now I'll go, go, go.
And you wanna be just left alone.
You're standing on the street
you've thought of everything
I don't think it's overrated
I just wondered what the date was
you're standing on the street
new sneakers, everything
but no one broke the news
you wonder why you spend the night
cars drive on by
it's the same old story
please tell me I'm dreaming
I'll believe it when I see it
I do it for the right reasons, you'd have to agree
I just think you're too polite
you're wound so tight
you fuss and fight
please tell me I gotta be wrong
but my heart is pounding too strong
you left so I went home
go check your answers and get off the phone now
but you change direction,
the garden's protection
and the moons just right,
take a look at the trees
tell me what do you see
it's all for us
Don't get lost darling
Maybe it's something
Maybe it's not
We'll see, maybe
But it's all we got
living at home
living under one roof
walls are raging
they're all crazy
mind is racing
say you left it far behind
and you'll always feel your 17
in a dream isn't it a sad thing that we all can't win
you got your sad songs or the radio
its for sure that you are all done
just a quiet evening
just a quiet evening
when you get home the street is quiet in the morning
and the sight of her is all you need to get so down
i can't figure how a letter so upset her just climb down the stairs
just disappear
i can promise something fleeting
just a quiet evening that will pass
and although we ain't got nothing to show by sitting at home it'd mean alot to me
i can promise something fleeting just a quiet evening that will pass
just a quiet evening
just a quiet evening
oh yeah.
i'm so tired, but i can't sleep a wink
and i'm in trouble deep
yeah i'm so tired
not enough cash to keep me in vices
i can't think about it now
she's getting too close and i don't even like it
i can't think about it now
always behind on the latest devices
i can't think about it now
panic in the office
record label crisis
i can't think about it now
so many words i like like to say to convince you i'll stay
so many words i'd like to say to convince you that i'm so tired
so many words that i'd love to get by this
but everyone's watching me
i'm out of disguises
and nobody know if the kids gonna like it
so c'mon and tell me
don't think about all the things that you want
and the things that you need
its only a matter of what you don't see
there's not enough cash
and there ain't enough vices
couldn't think about it even if i tried to
Well it was raining all day long
the night before we fought and Saturday
was gone and it was raining
all day long
I thought last night would never end
now Saturday is cold and damp and
I left you all alone, I didn't talk at all
you felt it all
the way that I got no more to say
and the rest of you can say its right
But I don't trust a thing in sight
when everything is overrated,
you're so good you just can't fake it
I waited for some kind of answer,
some kind words so that I can cold ya
I left you all alone
I didn't talk at all and now I feel so sad
I guess I just needed a day to feel lonely
lonely and blue.
Oh, how about you?
Well it was raining all day long
Well it was raining all day long
Well it was raining all day long
Well it was raining all day long
Punk Rock Millionaires with coke up their nose
Writing records in designer homes
but the rains kinda nice
and it's really all right if we don't talk at all
it's only one song!
Why find a nice way to tell you you suck?
I hate your guts.
You act so boring.
And if you don't stop those looks I'm gonna poke you in the eye.
Who are you anyway?
You think you're second to none.
Keep your fuckin' eyes off of me.
You fuckin' creep.
Get you're fuckin' hands out of my pockets.
You fuckin' thief.

Don't you know?
Stop talking about all the stuff that gets you pist.
Don't you know?
Keep your hands inside your pockets and draw deep breaths,
and fumble for the right words.
Put your hands inside your pockets and draw blank stares.
You're living in the real world.
Start a band.
Throw a brick.
You're laziness just makes me sick.
Start a band.
Throw a brick.
You're laziness just makes me sick,
Do you know what it's like to not know a single thing about yourself
and it's all your fault?
It's all my fault.

and it's all your fault?
It's all my fault.
When she said... when she said...
Oh it was so nice this towns a paradise
Sidewalks burning and so your locked inside your room
It's just a calm before the changing tide
It was so simple now theres things to sign
And someones always waiting round
with matches by their side
And someones sneaking in the office getting high
Oh Oh it's a common action
It's a perfect scene
Lets write about it in a magazine
everyones so excited it's the next big thing
Just the latest chapter
It's a total dram
Did you know that I kept that for a year?
And all this time I figured you'd be here.
Oh. Last time I saw you I tried to move through the crowd
and I was calling you name, but the band played too loud.
Last time I saw you I tried to move through the crowd.
Did you know that I kept that for a year?
And all this time I figured you'd be here. Go.
Last time I saw you I tried to move through the crowd
and I was calling you name,
oh but the band played too loud.
Last time I saw you I tried to move through the crowd.
Rodeo Clown.
Rodeo Clown.
Did you know?
When I feel that coming tension I wanna run in your direction.
When panics got me by the collar I need to go your way.
If it feels right I'm gonna stay out tonight.
Cut the Tension.
Cut right through.
I'm coming straight for you and it's true.
Tonight I'm on my way.
She smiles.
She holds her head just right,
because she knows she's the one.
When I feel that coming tension I wanna run in your direction.
When panics got me by the collar I need to go your way.
If it feels right I'm gonna stay out tonight.
Cut the Tension.
Cut right through.
I'm coming straight for you and it's true.
Tonight I'm on my way.
She smiles.
She holds her head just right,
Ever get the feeling ideals can't take us where we need to go?
Sometimes I'd like to just maybe squash your head,
but next time that I see you I'll just probably smile and say, "hello".
What's wrong with me?
Why can't you see?
It's all I see.
Next time that star shoots across the sky,
I'm gonna grab it and smash it under my feet.
Who the fuck wants to be happy?
I'll sleep on the floor.
And I'll just lock my door so Dave don't come
and tell me "turn down that shit you play".
I wonder what it would be like to be real deep
and dark, typical and boring.
Yeah that's me.
If I made up the rules, you would not be so close to me.
Not so close to... not so... not so close to me.
Not too close to me.
Not too close to me.
I know he didn't want her
She didn't want him to
Stay around forever
Whatever's easier for you
I ain't half as smart as him
yeah I know I'm second best
I never thought you'd only want me
I know he didn't want her
She didn't want him to
Stay around forever
[Chorus:]
And now your gone away for good
You fall in love but love has gone away
And now your gone away for good
You fall in love but love has gone
It's a funny little thing
and it gets inside your head
It's a killer round the corner
And all you really do is try and keep your cool
and wait till everything blows over
Leave it alone, leave it alone
Don't take your love away so soon
We could just play records at night
I know its been a long time
[Chorus x4]
So cool it down
relax awhile
you get too crazy
Quit holding
out on the couch
your glass is nearly empty
but did you see it all come
Along your race to ruin
No reason to talk now
No reason to talk
Quit making lists of all the stuff that yo did
Just push on lightly and don't think about the stuff that you hid
Your love has gone for good
though he's still in the room
No more talking future
I can't bare to lose you
At all the shows
love comes and goes
and you wonder are we over exposed?
Don't wanna know
your favorite show
all I wanted to know is
what time I could stop by
She don't know
She never knows
I saw it come down
when he blew into town
it was right on the corner
when he pulled her inside
they never know
they never know
Is it silly to think that this will never happen again?
But of course I'll call you tonight.
Did you know you missed my birthday?
The loneliest it gets is when the wind begins to chill.
And when I stand at the top of your old street,
the church top brings a stillness to me.
And I can't think of anything I'd rather do
than have my heart broken by you.
Could we be saved by inventions and hopes?
Cause I'm not all right.
The night seems to swallow me whole
and spits out second guessing.
I remember ever since that first day that I saw you on the street.
I've always wanted you in the worst way, but now I can't compete.
And I'm so... and you're so... we're both so all fucked up.
I don't know but what to do.
It just makes me want to scream.
Isn't it about time that we try and get it right.
Cause I can't sleep on no more floors
and I can't stay up no more nights.
I'd like to know what's going on.
Could you please pick up the phone?
I started one million letters to you
but I couldn't finish any of them...
Dave's alright.
when nothings left but shattered pieces of my dream
i find it hard to face the day my motivations disappeared
it seems pieces of my dreams lying on the ground
i close my eyes but i hear their sound so when i turn around
and see those pieces on the ground i go on back and pick them up
and built it up like stone i now stand stronger
i benefit from pain i find it easier to face the day
Breathless, I'm shaking,
Just watching the game you play
Play
I'll give up forever to be in your heart today
Today
Watching as everyone else gets a piece of you
Knowing I love you much more than they ever do
I miss you
I miss you
I miss you
I miss you
Breathless, I'm shaking,
Just watching the game you play
Play
I'll give up forever to be in your heart today
Today
Watching as everyone else gets a piece of you
Knowing I love you much more than they ever do
I miss you
I miss you
I miss you
I miss you
We can try and stay awake
all night but I'm too tired and your uptite
I'm getting into something good
Like I knew I would
And the time it takes to bust that party
We can waste another night
Just sitting on the porch all night until the wine is through
[Chorus:]
You're lost so, so lonely
You'll never make it you phoney
The reason you told me
You'll never make it you phoney
Can i turn off your MODERN ROCK
just hit the button make it stop
You're getting into something good, like i knew you would
You're calling on a static line
When all you want to feel is fine
And she's another reason why your always acting good
[Chorus]
There's a reason why you feel so low and it's starting to show
Could you reach for the door I don't wanna stay here no more
I don't know how you missed it before
There's a reason you came here I'm sure
But you don't really know get your pants off the floor and go home
And go home
Just stay awake
But just don't let it get in your head
Don't let it get in your head
I chose a life of missed callings
and lost hopes of empty trains and railway dreams.
Losing fast and gaining steam.
I was born tonight down highway skies.
When miles race under my head I'll remember what you said.
And I'll stay out till it's done for me.
And my legacy will be one that keeps pushing me away.
So it's back to engines underfoot and miles of great disdain.
They never understand the way I walk.
And it's you that knows it's the way I talk
that keeps me from knowing
when I should see the things you're showing me.
And it's you I want to do this to.
And it's looks like that that'll make me stay with you.
Keep your cool I'll be home soon.
And know that it's you.
Hey Scottie.
It's when we find the sound we're after.
The record seemed to skip and the singles way too short.
The speakers pounding out the songs we'd love to do without.
So I'll drag it down until it burns and you can practice taking turns.
They don't hear it. They don't feel it. They can't see it. Turn it up. (2x)
They don't hear it. They don't feel it. They can't see it. Turn it up.
They can't hear it. Turn it up. (2x)
You keep talking out of tune boy.
And money's still too tight.
And the set was way too short.
It seems we're finding out the creeps we'd like to do without.
And they'll drag us down until it burns
and we'll be counting lessons learned.
It seems we better ourselves
by becoming the single thing that we once despised
and stood against.
We're not alone.
We're like the rest.
It seems we better ourselves
by becoming the single thing that we once despised
and stood against.
We're not alone.
We're like the rest.
We fall.
We compromise intentions.
We are wrong (this time).
Could it be a stranger night?
The basements filled with kids.
I don't know.
Not beautiful like your songs,
but all awkward and alone and don't belong.
I saw a vacant seat.
I sat down next to you.
I thought of all the boys that wanted to.
I laughed out loud.
Do you hate this band too?
I smiled a nervous smile,
but I warmed up and acted cool standing by the stove.
And your eyes made it strange and I felt out of place.
Wondering if you... if you could take her place.
You can't be sly.
You can't forget her.
You don't ask why.
You can't forget her.
Give up.
What hope do you have to save her?
Give up.
across the stations it's a fact there ain't no place left to stop
two far away for me to hold cupboards empty t.v.s sold
come along come down and see come down your stairs i'm waiting.
almost time for us to go so won't you open up your door
[Chorus]
I hope your in your car right now turning this shit up so loud
I hope your in the mood to tune into my favorite station.
across the nation it's a fact you ain't never coming back
car is running out of gas push it up the overpass
you stayed inside to long so come along just come on you stayed away
too long so i wrote for you this song
[Chorus]
I hope your in your car right now turning this shit up so loud
I hope your in the mood to tune into my favorite station.
sweetie pie come along come along come down your stairs
don't make me wait to long come along cuz summers here
Hey Catrine, I know it's true when I'm sitting in my room.
But sometimes knowing is not enough, when time is what we've lost.
Hey Catrine, I know your there and sitting left and over
Hey sometimes knowing is not enough, when time is what we've lost.
Shut up you know the world collapsed and never been so bad
Shut up you know the world collapsed I kept it together for
Hey Catrine, I know it's true when I'm sitting in my room.
But sometimes knowing is not enough, when time is what we've lost.
So...Shut up you know the world collapsed and never been so bad
Shut up you know the world collapsed I kept it together for you
Shut up shut up you know the whole world is you
I like you ok.
Although you're not the greatest.
Quit following me around town.
Quit telling me your jokes.
I think you're kind of cute, so put away your smokes.
Quit sitting on my chair.
Quit playing with your hair. Hey.
I like you ok, but you don't hear the words I say.
[Originally by Hüsker Dü]
You can do what you want to do
You can say what you want to say
You can think what you think you want
It doesn't matter anyway
It's not funny anymore
Play what you want to play
Hear what you want to hear
Don't worry about the result
Or the effect It has on your career
Act like you want to act
Be what you want to be
Find out who you really are
I'm not calling you, because I swore I'd never let it.
I'm not calling you, though I'm feeling quite pathetic.
I'm not calling you. (2x)
I'm not calling you, because I swore I'd never let it.
I'm not calling you, though I'm feeling quite pathetic.
I'm not calling you. (5x)
I'm feeling pathetic.
Hair cuts and tee-shirts
You're made in the shade
Airports and "hey your luggage?"
ain't quite the same
What ever happened to whats her name
She's all books and quotations
and no fun and games
It feels so good but you don't dare believe it
Don't you believe it
Don't you believe it
When its quiet and lights are low
You're the last one you want around
You're the last one to know
Cuz its over you know when I said
Its time to go now don't let things go to your head
Its over won't you come over
The lights are low at my place too
but the stereos gonna change your mood
It feels so good but you don't dare believe it
Don't you believe it
Don't you believe it
You're the only one for me
(I told you already)
You're the only one for me
(I told you already)
My eyes skim the crowd i try and find you as if you were never there
But i could have sworn i saw you standing there with that look in your eyes
Proud and strong by my side you're on my mind you're out there i feel it
Can I come over?
I don't know if I wanna talk, cause phones they can't do for me.
I need to see your eyes.
Sometimes it's so far from me.
I can't explain whether words or minds can't find common ground.
The first thing I did was throw up the shades and look to the night.
Can it be my third winter here stuck in a small town.
You rode your bike past dark window shades,
looked down from my roof and not hollered a thing.
Can I be so sad and not so close to forgetting last snowfalls time?
Precurse seasons cold and come of age.
Even cold nights can't shake dreaming trains, endless truck.
This time it's not worth fighting.
I think I really like you.
Can I come over?
Warm words and eyes and not going back.
Can I come over?
Warm words and eyes and not going back.
And I don't even care because I'm already there.
i'd love to stick out my tongue and catch the rain in my mouth
but never take the time
i see you i want to tell you maybe a hello see if things worked out for you
i'd love to but never do let me get under your covers
let me hide away from all my loose ends
they just pile on i try to find out where the road begins
it's like turning on the brights on a fog filled night
if i had to do I'd keep my friends i remember me
and frog walking through town
This one goes out to the kids
who drove 6 hours in a stolen car,
then missed the show.
This one goes out to never
losing sight of all the
"how it's been" and "how it was."
Here's to just sinking the ship
and not giving a shit.
Here's to sinking fast
with everyone else.
This one goes out to another
night with no sleep,
Crimpshrine records and
Gainesville streets
This one goes out to Mike,
Var, Mike and Tony,
All, Snuff, Jon, Terri,
Shaun, and Andre.
Just when you thought
That you had it all worked out
You will be the last one
To figure it out
Then you will see
That in order to be free
We just don't wanna fake it
Anymore
It doesn't seem to add up
And nothing seems to matter
You've outgrown all the anger
You know that it's not the answer
Rising up from the ashes
You know we never meant to burn
Rising up from the ashes
We don't wanna answer
To a mixed up generation
There'll only be separating
And if we burn
Just one shot is all that I ask for
Its not too much but I want it now
one last shot before I let you go
It's not too much but I want it now
Can we carry on
I know that I was wrong
Is it too late, gone too far, is it all too much
Well that's just too bad
There's one thing that I need to know
How much further can we go
If its all over then I'll go away
This is the last time you lead me astray
What if i don't see you again
will we ever get back home?
will we ever get back home?
will we ever get back home?
will we ever get back home?
to the place,
is it the same as when we left
has anything really changed
did they forget if so,
we'll never know if we never get back home
i can't see no way way out.
my time is running out
i feel i'm breaking down
stop what your doing get out, get out.
come back.
stop what your doing get out, get out,
come back home.
i can't see no way out,
my time is running out.
i feel i'm breaking down.
will we ever get back home?
will we ever get back home?
will we ever get back home?
will we ever get back home?
will we ever get back home?
i can see the way out now
i can see the way out now
i can see the way out now
We've been through all of these things before
We've said a lot of these things before
It's starting to get boring
I might as well be talking to a wall
'Cause they're not listening anymore
You'll get no answers from them
You're knockin' on the wrong door
You'll soon find out there's...
No reaction
No reaction yet
They'll never answer you if you call
They'll never be there for you if you fall
So don't get broken hearted
They're watchin' every move you make
But still you find there's...
We've been through this all before
We've said a lot of this before
And it's startin' to sound like a worn out record
That no one wants to play
Sit back and pay attention
Seems we forgot to mention
We're conducting our own investigation
Jimmy - what's your vote?
You don't have to repay them after all
Jimmy told of those who'd been cheated
But were never defeated
Just morally wrong
Jimmy told of those who were jaded
Their colours had faded
Like they didn't belong
And they lied - a new life they were seeking
Yes they lied - now their plans are leaking
Jimmy told of those who had made it
And others who'd paid it
But the price was wrong
Everybody's too busy fighting
To bother deciding
What has to be done
Jimmy - it seems as though it can be sold
As easy as a story
Can be told
You don't have to repay them after all
Jimmy had a dream he would make it
And he wouldn't fake it
Like the others had done
He believed in those who were jaded
Whose colours had faded
Like they didn't belong
It's all around me and
I just don't understand
Seems all out of place now
And I know it's late
But you know what they say now
We're under attack now
Our work is all cut out
Whatever happened to your rights?
And I know it's late
But you know what they say now
So where's the writing on the wall
Who's gonna save us?
Who's gonna provide us?
Who's gonna divide us?
Who's gonna save us?
We're under powered now
Trial devoured now
Step aside make way for the new leader
And it's getting late
I was standing on the wrong side of the tracks
I went the wrong way and I coulded get back
I was headed down the wrong side of the road
I needed someone I was on my own
I needed someone I was on my own
And I don't want to be on my own
I neither want to be left alone
and I don't want to be on my own
I didn't want to be left alone
I needed someone like you, I needed someone like you,
I needed someone like you
Now I'm standing in a place that I call home
No longer living in a great unknown
but if you tell me that you don't want me around
I will go some where that I can't be found
I will go some where I can't be found
If you want me here with you
then here I stay
but if you don't then I be on my way
And I don't want to be on my own
I didn't want to be left alone
and I don't want to be on my own
I didn't want to be left alone
I needed someone like you, I needed someone like you,
I needed someone like you
And I don't want to be on my own
I didn't want to be left alone
and I don't want to be on my own
I didn't want to be left alone
I needed someone like you, I needed someone like you,
I needed someone, I needed someone, I needed someone like you
I've been buried in the sand
I've come down with no place to land
I don't need you to understand
It's not what I had planned
All the hunger, all the yearning
With the lifeline that you're burning
Poison lessons that you're learning
The road ahead is turning
Suicidal education
It got sold to our generation
Wake up to the manipulation
Wake up to the situation
Suicidal education
Stick together side by side
We no longer need to hide
From the darkness into the light
Now is your time
I need something to numb the pain
Forget me and forget my name
Waiting for the time to arrive
No one gets out of here alive
Suicidal education
It got sold to our generation
Wake up to the manipulation
Wake up to the situation
Suicidal education
Wake Up! Wake Up!
I've been buried in the sand
I've come down with no place to land
I don't need you to understand
It's not what I had planned
Suicidal education
It got sold to our generation
Wake up to the manipulation
Wake up to the situation
Suicidal education
Taken back inside a memory you had of me
You left it far behind
It was a vivid dream of everything
That's christened black and white
And in that dream you turned and stopped
To see that everything was simply drained of life
A figurine that was painted pale,
Pale green fashioned on that night
Today's the day
To end all days
And although I'm gone
I still remain
And as you woke up you knew right away
That something's changed
The day has moved without you
Another state, another state of mind
That left you black and blue
I saw you standing there
In disarray and so confused
And then I promised that
Id never turn my back on you, cause
Today's the day
To end all days
And although I'm gone
I still remain
Today's the day
To end all days
And although I'm gone
I don't know enough about the things you do
I don't know enough to say I really know you
But I already fell in love with you
And if you knew what would you do?
I can tell a lot by the things you wear
I can tell you're gonna be a millionaire
But I already fell in love with you
And if you knew what would you do?
I've stopped myself from trying
I shouldn't talk to you
And now inside I'm dying
the head is shot the nerves rubbed raw
like a tooth sharpening cannibal
i'd eat the heart that beats in fear
so it could never keep me here
i'm working on my satellite
if you could help me i might find
a way to make my plea get through
just beam me back a little proof
i'm tired of feeling... feeling tired
and I'm feeling... feeling tired
i'm scratching at these cataracts
to try and see what's still intact
i sold the heart that beats in fear
the road ahead now is desolately clear
i wish i may i wish i'd find
a way to make these scars feel real
so i could stand and face what's here
i'm tired of feeling... feeling tired... i'm feeling tired
mother won't you hear
my desperate cries?
i'm calling in...
mother won't you hear my desperate crying?
i've been so shut down yeah i'll admit i'm struggling
We will always be, we will always be, we will always be together
We may never see, we may never see, we may never see it again
Red light!!!
This is an alarm stay where you are
State of emergency
This is an alarm don't go too far
State of urgency
This is not the end
State of urgency
This is not the end
We may never know, we may never know, we may never know what's ahead
If you believe it then you will see it it's in front of you, you know it's true
Red light!!
This is an alarm stay where you are
State of emergency
This is an alarm don't go too far
State of urgency
This is not the end
State of urgency
This is not the end
From the things we hate to the love we send what goes around comes around again
Standing on the starting line , make a wish and make it the time
It's just begun, it's just begun, it's just begun to matter
It won't be done, it won't be done, it won't be done until the time has come
This is an alarm stay where you are
State of emergency
This is an alarm don't go too far
State of urgency
This is not the end
State of urgency
Well I've been going out of my head
Since I met you
But you drive me up the wall it seems
What more can I do
You're just no good for me
So lock me up and throw away the key
Cause I've just about had all
I can take from you
Well I've been going out of my head
Since I found you
But you turned out to be poison
Now I'm feeling blue
But everything will be alright
If I can keep you out of sight
Six feet under where no one will have a clue
So what - you never even gimme one shot
I don't wanna rain on your parade
You're really somethin'
But I'm nearly jumpin'
Well I've been going out of my head
I said I wanna see you
I really meant I wanna leave you
I said I wanna touch you
I really meant I wanna punch you
I said I wanna kiss you
I'm never gonna miss you
If you had a clue you would never stay
If I told the truth I would have to say
We're going round, round, round
Short notice - and now it's time to go
Misguided - shot down when you didn't know
Short notice - and now it's time to go
I said I wanna feel you
I really meant I wanna kill you
I said I couldn't refuse you
I really meant I should've used you
I said, I wanna love you
Temperamental editors
Searching for the passion
Overpaid and over-rated
Looking for a cash in
It's too late
If you want to read a little
Useless information
If you've had enough
With all the troubles with our nation
Don't wait
And you read about it
You just can't sleep without
The pages of the magazine
Don't believe in all you read
You can't trust the tabloid magazine
And I'm about to break down
It's just a tabloid magazine
And I don't wanna break down
Picture hungry journalists
Searching for some action
Running all the stories
Like it's going out of fashion
It's too late
Everybody's reading
Everybody else's problems
Everybody's busy stopping
What they haven't started
Don't wait
Don't wanna be around 'em
Better off without them
You know you can't escape them
And you read about them all the time
From the pages of the magazine
But you can't believe in all you read
Well it's too late
And you're gonna have to wait
I've laid my hands upon your soul
To feel your demons inside me
As vacant people passed me by
They told me things I can't believe
This secret mission I possess
Releasing things I cannot see
Embers to ashes, dirt to dust
And within this gift I now conceive
In the fallen rain
I can see your face
Even though it's not the same
In the fallen rain
The blood still stains
As our bruises wash away
I can finally believe
Can you see what I've unleashed?
I beg for you to set me free
Will you accept this desperate plea?
In the fallen rain
I can see your face
Even though it's not the same
In the fallen rain
The blood still stains
As our bruises wash away
Well I can feel the piercing stare that's coming from your eyes
And Im Surrounded by the sound of distant shrieks and cries
In a darkened calm before the storm begins to rise
I put aside my hopes and dreams so I can survive
In the fallen rain
I can see your face
Even though it's not the same
In the fallen rain
The blood still stains
Our shadows dance on the bedroom wall
if only this night could last a little longer
for now I'll hold you close and pretend that I'm not leaving
I know your scars start to feel more sore
on nights like this where I can't bear to face
the fact that I'm not sure which road makes sense to take
It's clear to me that you're the one
who won't tell lies or turn tail and run
I know you're tired of feeling like we're under the gun
just hold on tight my lonely one
This isn't quite what you bargained for
I know it stings to always prop up on someone whose own
selfish heart seems to be the one that's beating
But we would die if we just keep score
just give me time I know it feels like you've put
everything on hold but I swear I'll make this right
Heaven knows I need you here
but hell's stoking up my hopeless fear
"I think they're losing more momentum every day
they're trying 3% percent too hard, can't you see the look there on his face?
I think they'll do okay for now
and in a year throw in the towel
but they're losing their momentum every day"
"they won't be doing this much longer without pay
and when it all comes crashing down, oh I can't wait to see the day
we can say we told 'em so
they're just a little bit too old
and they can head home, head in hand like a disgrace"
do I regret I even wasted the breath it took to sing?
do I regret I ever admitted to a little and bled it all out on the page?
do we regret they're out there waiting?
for someone honest to take the stage?
will they want their ten bucks back
or leave knowing that this means more than anyone could pay?
it's all just as well
the ones that can tell
i don't want to go
and hear more promises spoken in vain
and even free drinks may not numb the pain
don't want to watch two unsure more dig a grave
i'll stay home all alone just the same
oh god i hate this part
where cynical starts to grow right over hope
but all these broken hearts
began just the same and hearts tend to attract the flames
i just don't want to go
what if this isn't the way it should be?
what if they can't tell they'll want to be free?
don't want to watch two unsure more i'll stay home
rather than get there and just want to leave
are you ready for the thick and thin my friend
what's your decision?
So you left the home you never had
On your own how could things get so bad?
And you hitched a ride to the unknown
Forgot your address and your mobile phone
Would they all remember me?
And forget about their needs?
There's nobody putting you down
Just spending your life hangin' around
There's nobody putting you down
But you're draggin' your life on the ground
And you said some things you didn't mean
A lot of what you thought
Wasn't half that it seemed
So you hitched a ride to the unknown
Forgot your address and your mobile phone
As you get older
The chip on your shoulder
Spreading like a disease
Spendin' your life
Hangin' around
One said to the other
You'll never find another
Now that you're on your own
To discover, you're livin' undercover
Now that you're on your own
She's not really bothered
By a riot in Milan
Only gets excited by the cheap shot brands
Dressed up in a number
That she got from Japan
Powdered up, confident with solarium tan
You know that she won't leave here alone
She ain't ever gonna leave here alone
She's not really in touch
With the government plan
Much too busy looking
For a one night stand
You don't have to show her
Before you get to know her
She's the type who plays the fool
Words can change, feelings left aside
And if these arms could hold you
They would hold you tight
Something sure extraordinary has gone away
If you know what's good for you
You'll turn and walk away
So put your lips to mine
Say your last goodbyes
It's time for me to leave
So hold me one last time
And I'll return some day
In a song or in a dream
Just to let you know everything is fine
I'm sorry for the ways and what I've done to you
Beating hearts look down on this
And yet I wrote I'm not the man you need to be
Free to wear this ecstasy
Catch the way from fantasy
So take my dreams and throw them all away
So put your lips to mine
Say your last goodbyes
It's time for me to leave
So hold me one last time
And I'll return some day
In a song or in a dream
Just to let you know everything is fine
So put your lips to mine (walk away)
Say your last goodbyes (walk away)
Its time for me to leave (walk away)
So hold me one last time (walk away)
And I'll return some day (walk away)
In a song or in a dream (walk away)
he's waiting down at the corner under the streetlight
he's only following orders 'til midnight
and then he'll sneak back home to his wife,
and his everyday life.
he says he's been at the pub with the boys all night,
she acts as if she don't know says its alright.
but he knows she don't believe him.
on and on, on and on.
cause nothing lasts forever,
and nothing lasts forever.
everything dies eventually,
cover your eyes if you don't want to see.
this isn't how she thort that her life should be.
when they first met back in '63,
and a future together was all she could see.
he said if you stick with me,
then you know we'll be alright.
a family for the rest of our lives,
and ill always be by your side.
and that's when she cried.
on and on, on and on.
cause nothing lasts forever,
and nothing lasts forever.
everything dies eventually,
cover your eyes if you don't want to see.
so he takes off his tie and he tells another lie,
she only believed it for a minute.
and she dosen't ask why,
she doesn't want to pry.
she only believes it for a minute.
he's walking out the door and into a new life,
he's already got plans with his new wife,
and a house in a new neighborhood.
he says he's been at the pub with the boys all night,
she acts as if she don't know,
says its alright.
but he knows she don't believe him,
but she's sick of arguing.
on and on, on and on.
cause nothing lasts forever
and nothing lasts forever
everything dies eventually
cover your eyes if you don't want to see
she's been waking around,
with her heart dragging on the ground.
I've been thinking about going away
Somewhere that I can find a new day
Everybody's talkin' about this new place
Where no one remembers your face
Where they don't wanna know about the things you've done
They don't wanna know about the damage done
Everyone is going down....
Runaway, runaway to nowhere town
We're gonna go where we won't be found
Where the winners always win, the sinners always sin
Runaway, runaway to nowhere town
We're gonna go where we won't be found
Where the winners always win, the sinners always sin
We're on our way
We're on our way to nowhere
I heard you've been living e lie
If it's true then I won't ask why
Won't ask why
Cause they don't wanna know about the things you've done
They don't wanna know about the damage done
Everyone is going down....
Runaway, runaway to nowhere town
We're gonna go where we won't be found
Where the winners always win, the sinners always sin
Runaway, runaway to nowhere town
We're gonna go where we won't be found
Where the winners always win, the sinners always sin
We're on our way
We're on our way to nowhere
We're on our way
We're on our way to nowhere
Runaway, runaway to nowhere town
We're gonna go where we won't be found
Where the winners always win, the sinners always sin
Runaway, runaway
Runaway, runaway
The sinners always sin
The winners always
The sinners
all alone again
he woke up screaming here
he needs more oxygen to breathe
help him up hold him down
like a freight train
it's bearing down again
he's got holy water in his lungs
help him up
if that's how it's gonna be
wake me up wake me up
pump me full of meds
don't let me drink from that cup
slide a little pill down my throat
i'll try to keep it down
or pull my plug and don't be frightened by the sound
seventy and ten
outlived the best of men
he wants to see his little kids again
help him up
but in all his years
the pain's never been this severe
now he's spiraling in fear
hold him down
if that's how it's gonna be
wake me up wake me up
pump me full of meds
don't let me drink from that cup
slide a little pill down my throat
i'll try to keep it down
I hear the sirens - oh no
Coming to remind me - to go
Silence is golden - I know
Until the silence - is known
And the plans were carried on
We were the victims all along
Is it true did the world stop turning
When the rain came down
When the rain came down on
Maitland Street
Would we drown in the sorrow
Of another defeat?
Will we be remembered if we
Don't get beat?
Got your head in the clouds
Your feet on the ground
Will we be remembered?
Will we be remembered?
Or lost in history
Of Maitland Street
Looking for an echo
Searchin' for somewhere to go
We found a place that we called home
But it was empty yeah
Yeah there was nobody there
And the clouds began to break
We tried to run but it was too late
Now it's done and you gotta move on
'Cause it's never gonna be the same
Doesn't anybody know?
What happened all those years ago?
Doesn't anybody know?
Is it true did the world stop turning
Hear the sounds of a liberation.
And one by one we will stand in line.
Sadness in truth keeps the motivation.
As we let go our peace of mind.
So what will it take to stop or break?
Who will know what to say?
Somehow we must find it,the way.
My mind is bleeding.
My thoughts are broken.
Took to long to see this light.
Yet this souls still burning.
My eyes are open.
My mind is seething.
Took too long to see what's right.
So what's right?
Feel the pulse of the generations.
For one and all its a call to arms.
An ideal formed, a declaration.
There's image but the meaning is gone.
So what will it take, to stop or break?
Who will know what to say?
Somehow we must find a way.
I think we can find it today.
My mind is bleeding.
I see just what's happening.
I SEE!!
I can tell what's going on.
WE'LL BE!!
Well there's something that I really
Need to say
Have you ever wondered why the
Truth is hard to say
Why must it be this way
A broken deal
And now it's time to pay
Trying hard to understand
What happened yesterday
But it's the game we play
I see the red light signal
Calling me home the red lights are
See the red light and they're
Calling me home
The powers above us
Show that you love us
Don't take me away
In the end it's just another day
And there's no explanation
Or a plan that you can make
And you can't hide away
Well you can try and plan
Tomorrow's news today
But everything that you want
Is not gonna go your way
I've just seen a face,
I can't forget the time or place
Where we just meet.
She's just the girl for me
And want all the world to see
We've met, mmm-mmm-mmm-m'mmm-mmm.
Had it been another day
I might have looked the other way
And I'd have never been aware.
But as it is I'll dream of her
Tonight, di-di-di-di'n'di.
Falling, yes I am falling,
And she keeps calling
Me back again.
I have never known
The like of this, I've been alone
And I have missed things
And kept out of sight
But other girls were never quite
Like this, da-da-n'da-da'n'da.
Falling, yes I am falling,
And she keeps calling
Me back again.
Falling, yes I am falling,
And she keeps calling
Me back again.
I've just seen a face,
I can't forget the time or place
Where we just meet.
She's just the girl for me
And want all the world to see
We've met, mmm-mmm-mmm-da-da-da.
Falling, yes I am falling,
And she keeps calling
Me back again.
Falling, yes I am falling,
And she keeps calling
Me back again.
Oh, falling, yes I am falling,
And she keeps calling
I get no kick from champagne,
Mere alcohol,
Doesn't thrill me at all,
So tell me why should it be true,
That I get a kick out of you.
Some made me go for cocaine,
I'm sure that if,
I took even one sniff,
It would bore me terrifically too,
Yet I get a kick out of you.
I get a kick every time I see you
Standing there before me,
I get a kick though it's clear to see,
That you obviously do not adore me.
I get no kick in a plane,
Flying too high,
With some girl in the sky,
Is my idea of nothing to do,
Yet I get a kick out of you.
I get a kick every time I see you,
Standing there before me,
I get a kick though it's clear to see,
That you obviously do not adore me.
I get no kick in a plane,
Flying too high,
With some girl in the sky,
Is my idea of nothing to do,
Yet I get a kick,
You can give me a boat
Don't go getting yourself in a knot
Looking for the story but you have no plot
Communication lines are starting to rot
And I can't give you what I haven't got
If I could make the world stop still for you
I wouldn't waste another moment thinking it through
But the capabilities I have not
And I can't give you what I haven't got
You wanted me to be
Something that I can't see
You wanted me to do
Something that I can't do
And it's always just the same
And I'm still playing in this endless game
I wonder if you even know my name
And I can't give you what I haven't got
You wanted me to be
Something that I can't see
You wanted me to do
Something that I can't do
So don't go getting yourself in a knot
Looking for the story but you have no plot
Communication lines are starting to rot
And I can't give you what I haven't got
(can't give you what I haven't got)
Take the car, the house, the dog, the boat
The whole fucking lot
I can't give you what I haven't got
(can't give you what I haven't got)
Into the red, the hippie dream is dead
Like a lightbulb blowin' a fuse inside me head
Gimme some speed to burn
Don't wanna wait my turn
And now the parties over but not a lesson learnt
Into the red
I'm goin' out of my head
Gotta go now but I'll never slow down
When the world outside is red
Into the red
Into the red
Into the red
Into the red, the sixties dream is dead
Like a low down juvenile getting high instead
Gimme some speed to burn
Don't wanna wait my turn
And now the parties over but not a lesson learnt
Into the red
I'm goin' out of my head
Gotta go now but I'll never slow down
When the world outside is red
Into the red
Into the red
Into the red
Into the red, the hippie dream is dead
Like a lightbulb blowin' a fuse inside me head
Gimme some speed to burn
Don't wanna wait my turn
And now the parties over but not a lesson learnt
Into the red
I'm goin' out of my head
Gotta go now but I'll never slow down
When the world outside is red
Into the red
Into the red
a sacred song we used to sing has fallen out of time.
the questions that we all once asked have been answered by these lies.
a million men have have marched away and taken by surprise.
in this fucked up dream it hardly seems that anyone's
still trying to believe as you wear that face with great
disgrace, well we can see that it's coming back again.
a broken smiles fades away and is hidden by the light.
a symbol waiving in the wind protects our homes tonight.
statues falling down today are making things alright.
there are mothers crying in the rain.
fathers wishing they didn't send their sons away.
all the hurt and all the pain...
its all for what? all for what?
you searched to no avail just maybe you were wrong.
when everything is said and done
One minute it was over
3 seconds and fade to black
The essence of space surrounds now
There's no chance I could take it back
And I saw this place just sit in silence
Upon memories of last embraces
This grey now turns to darkness
A void I'll never feel again
No feeling cause I ain't breathing
Our fallen star
It burned so cold
It's fragile hold
Has been lost forever
Our final wish
Upon these scars
Has failed so far
Now were lost together
Lights creeping into corners
Where dark thoughts come to lie
Reminded of that feeling
Transformed this hurt again
And I felt these chains
Just rip right through me
But I can't feel the pain
Deceived in sweet salvation
As my last breath slowly fades away
No feeling cause I ain't breathing
A false hope seen from a distance
Now slowly fades into black hope
Put it in the bag boys
Said the petty thief
I'm only gonna say it once
So don't play dumb with me
Don't nobody make a move
And don't nobody speak
Everybody on the floor
Don't mess around with me
Put it in the bag boys
Then we're on our way
All the money in the bag
We'll count it up another day
Put it in the bag boys
Then we've got it made
Now don't go making me mad
Put the money in the bag
We've gone and made it this far
Now we can't run away
If we make it out alive
To see another day, oh then
We'll leg it to the border
Sneak on past the toll
There ain't no copper
Gonna put me in the hole
We're almost at the end
There's an open road ahead
Freedom's just another 30 miles away
But luck came undone
As we jumped the gun
So what once seemed so drastic is now commonplace
And they're driving machines down the lines on our face
There's no shame there's no mercy not even a trace
With our bombs and our pills we think we've made things safe
Maybe we'd be better off with our heads in the sand
And they'd leave us to drown here according to plan
But if this ships going down you'll find me with the band
Because they've pushed us all right to the edge
And we're on the brink
And they've pushed us all right to the edge
They're claiming the answer is kill or be killed
While we're dying of cancer and paying our bills
We just drown in this quagmire of what we've been told
While they're cashing the checks on the faith that we sold
They've got no allegiance to pledge
So what now little girl?
Who was it that changed your world?
Hope is a funny thing
When the pain cuts through
But you will see it
You will feel it soon
And I know that you're hurting
Cause so am I
Feel like life is ending
Feels like you want to die
Don't say it's over
Even though it's gone
Your life is just beginning
Your life has just begun
In the heat of the moment
Between you and I
I will wipe away the fears
And tears that you will cry
Faith is a funny thing
When the pain cuts through
But you will see it
And you will feel it soon
And I know that you're hurting
Cause so am I
Feel like life is ending
Feels like you want to die
Don't say it's over
Even though it's gone
Your life is just beginning
Your life has just begun
You were faulted
The life owed to you
But I can see
Better things for you
Don't say it's over
Even though it's gone
Your life is just beginning
Your life has just begun
You're not the only one
Wish I could tell you why
i'm having trouble seeing through the haze I try and
clear the fog away from my memory of those days I fought so hard
to make it through the rain it sickens me to look at you
all i see is pain i can't dare hold my stare i look at you
and all i remember how easy i lose how quick comes failure
i cry open up the sky now i look and don't know what to say
i look above with questions of long forgotten days
i cant forget past pain i felt the sun will shine and all of the
ice will melt never again not this time never bring me down
with your hateful selfish lies i rip the blackness from the sky
Is it impossible,
To have a life and realise,
It's not a lie?
Is it conceivable to carry on,
And get along, or is it wrong?
Is it acceptable to know a lie,
And hide behind an alibi?
Is it impossible to live without,
A single doubt, do you know how?
Justice in the corner seeking
To revenge the ones that brought us
I can see it in your eyes
Blinded but we're by your side
On and on it's only starting
But I'm never gonna run
Sign me up for a place
I'll be on my way

You want to leave, no it isn't alright
It's up to you, the decision's not mine
If I ever imagine you leaving my side
I'd die
It's nothin', you always askin' me why
It's too much to give it one more try
How come the truth still sound like a lie?
Why?
You say that there's nothin' wrong at all
Say that's just like talkin' to a wall
And the phone won't stop ringing but nobody calls
Bringin' it all back home, to the one that I left alone
Bringin' it all back home, well I'm waiting to know
Is it too late to go
To bring it all back home?
I'm hangin' onto the end of the line
Well it's the same old story and the same old time
Would you give me something I just can't buy?
Why?
You say that there's nothin' wrong at all
Say that's just like talkin' to a wall
And the phone won't stop ringing but nobody calls
Bringin' it all back home, to the one that I left alone
I'm bringin' it all back home, well I'm waiting to know
Bringin' it all back home, to the one that I left alone
I'm bringin' it all back home, well I'm waiting to know
Is it too late to go
Guess it'll pass here in my bed
I set a ticking time bomb in my head
I set it off to punish my transgressions
as the poison makes its way
I'm watching as my hands begin to shake
and now it's just regrets and every second guess
never thought we'd end up here that night when you said
"the car's out back let's see this through
they told me they had all this proof
I know what I done is wrong
I sealed your fate and told the truth
Now the gallows hand for you
They'll find me here in a couple of days
I wonder what your wife and kids would say
"he damn sure had it coming"
They'll say I did it 'cause of shame
'cause I went and damned you to be safe
They'll say "it's just as well I hope he burns in hell
and guilt dealt him a hand that forced his fate just the same"
I sealed your fate and told the truth
they told me they had all this proof
they said they'd found the rusted spade
and matched the footprints to your shoes
now the gallows hang for you
this turned out to be my fatal mistake
and I'll take it to my grave
say a prayer my soul's at the stake
Is it any wonder
That you have fallen down on your knees
You better take cover
It's gonna spread around like a disease
Now you're going under
You got caught running from the scene
You better take cover
It's gonna take you down like a disease
Gonna make you suffer
Face up to your responsibilities
Is it any wonder
That you've fallen down on your knees
On your knees
On your knees
And there's a black waiting for the moment to strike
Crossing your path at the dead of midnight
A black cat waiting for the moment to strike
I know you can't explain
Why you take more than you need
Looking for someone to blame
But you are blinded by what you see
The seeds you've sown
Prove to be nothing more than weeds
And the life you've known
Won't be he same as it used to be
Used to be
Used to be
What you get isn't always what you see
And there's a black waiting for the moment to strike
Crossing your path at the dead of midnight
A black cat waiting for the moment to strike
And there's a black waiting for the moment to strike
Maybe next time you'd better think twice
And there's a black waiting for the moment to strike
And there's a black waiting for the moment to strike
Crossing your path at the dead of midnight
A black cat waiting for the moment to strike
And there's a black waiting for the moment to strike
Maybe next time you'd better think twice
One more song for the broken hearted
A dream so true that soon departed
and was cast aside to yellow and dry up
All the people you were up above
That you worked so hard to be better than
Would you trade it for a minute of connection?
The kids are grown the teeth are pulled
The receipts counted now theres lines across your face
it all meant nothing
so pull the door down one last time
and wash your hands free you can leave this cross you bear
it all meant nothing
walk away to burn it all down
But when the scissors got too dull
and you had to make a choice
whether to fix what you'd done
or start it all again
and when the light turns green
on your hopes and dreams
do you take right off or do you wait around?
it might turn red again
and now you're hanging for these ropes
and are you hopeless or well off?
so light up one more cigarette
for everything you left behind
For some reason l believe in burying myself in good feelings
Warm, warm feelings
Sometimes there's nothing else alive
Your living, your breathing, your bitching even more
Countdown toward the end now
no need to panic, no need to panic now
You better get yourself together somehow
Well I can't Sleep and I can't relax
Climbing up the walls starting through the cracks
I've come this far I'm never turning back
Every now and then I feel it creepin' up again
And I know it's only a matter of time (your next kill)
I'm stepping on enemy lines (your next thrill)
I'm stepping on enemy lines
We're gonna take you to the end of the line
'Til the end, 'Til The End
I'm never gonna give up - 'Til the end, 'til the end
Not gonna stop until I've tried, not until I"m satisfied
Until I get what I want, 'til I get what I need
Until I get what I want
Now you're back against the wall
and you've made your final call
Do you have any last requests at all?
When the chips are down
And life as you know it is upside down
What's your problem
What's on your mind?
You're letting everything fall by the wayside
Check the program
Stay on the line
The operator will be with you in no time

(yeah)
Rotten to the core
Breaking down the door
Sick of all the laws
And we want more
Everyone's so pretty
Living in the city
Drowning in their pity
And we want more
Did you forget about us?
Did you forget about trust?
Out with the old, and in with the new
You haven't earned it (You haven't earned it)
You don't deserve it (You don't deserve it)
Badadadadadadadadadadadada
Every dog has its day
Badadadadadadadadadadadada
So what are you gonna do when they take it away from you?
Making up the rules
Fooling all the fools
Like you got nothing to lose
And we want more
You only get out what you put in
You want your supper but you don't wanna sing
Living a lie, you know it's not right
We want more
Did you forget about us?
Did you forget about trust?
Out with the old, and in with the new
You haven't earned it (You haven't earned it)
You don't deserve it (You don't deserve it)
Badadadadadadadadadadadada
Every dog has its day
Badadadadadadadadadadadada
So what are you gonna do when they take it away from you?
Rotten to the core
Breaking down the door
Sick of all the laws
And we want more
Everyone's so pretty
Living in the city
Drowning in their pity
And we want more
Did you forget about us?
Did you forget about trust?
Out with the old, and in with the new
You haven't earned it (You haven't earned it)
You don't deserve it (You don't deserve it)
Badadadadadadadadadadadada
Every dog has its day
And they're never gonna give you want
They're never gonna give you what you want
In a room you can build a home
Plant the seed and life begins to grow
When it's outgrown life inside
How will it live?
And will it survive?
On it's own outside
I wonder if the world is just the same
And does the life that I knew still remain
Journey to the life outside
Return to those I left behind
'Cause I'm ready to go now
Yes I'm ready to go now
I wanna get back to the city
Get on with my life
Cause I've done my time
And I'm ready to go now
So now it's time to leave the room
And not for one minute too soon
If you spent 16 years
Then you'd almost understand
Time waits for no man to return
A whole new set of rules to learn
It had been 16 years
Since they put me in the cell
We will never leave
We ain't ever gonna leave the room
We could be here for life
We will never leave the room
And as it all gets rearranged
You find that everything has changed
And there's no place for you
In this foreign world
You always believed
One day you'd be free
And never return so soon
If I lent my arms to you
Would you hold me
And embrace me
Maybe we're the lucky ones
'Cause we can choose to turn it off
Maybe we're the lonely ones
'Cause we decide to shield what's soft
I'm sure you'll learn to dance and drink and dream
but you might still feel lost
And I see myself in you my friend
but I would break where you would bend
I'm calling on what you defend and tonight I won't hold back
Just don't waste all your years
believing in the fear
You'll choke out what's alive and make
What's wrong be all that's real
I can see you're weakened at the seams
And trying to swim upstream but can't find a way
So here we are again trying to hold back
the tides behind our eyes
lucky ones trying to drink from both the wells we claim are dry
I guess I've found some freedom in
embracing every time they pry
We're both the same
You're just like me
And when your skin finally sheds
You'll find your nerves all in shreds
we had our hearts tricked
we had it all worked out
we had the bad years planned in advance
we had our hearts tricked
we'd worked it out
but then it all fell apart so fast
we watched the wires trip
the power surged
we had it ripped right out of our hands
it took her hostage
and wore her down
we made a wish that no one could grant
and now we're huddled here
naked sore and cold
it's been severe
she had her heart tricked
she had it all worked out
she had her bad years planned in advance
he had his heart tricked
they had it all worked out
that they had years left of happy romance
but then all the needles
and damage done
in the end just lessened the chance
they had their hearts tricked
the power surged
they had it ripped right out of their hands
and now we're huddled here naked sore and alone
and we can't see clear
just the thought of this is sickening
to live out all our years without you here
just the thought of this is sickening
we had our hearts tricked
we had it all worked out
we had the bad years planned in advance
she had our hearts tricked
but the power surged
and she was ripped right out of our hands
you're not the only one.
you're not the only one,
living with what you've done
you'll be the lonely one.
you'll be the lonely one,
when the day is done.
i sent a message that you didn't read,
i tried to call but you hung up on me.
now will you ever come back to me again?
how can you carry on.
how can you carry on,
pretend that nothings wrong.
you'll have no-where to run,
no-where to run.
when the day is done.
i sent a message that you didn't read,
i tried to call but you hung up on me.
now will you ever come back to me again?
you're not making any sense saying one last time.
you're not making any sense saying one last time.
now that your love has expired,
and your heart seems lost and tired.
you're not making any sense saying one last time.
one last time,
one last time.
one last time,
one last time.
you came undone and lost your way,
you took a bet that you couldn't pay.
i wont forget but i'll refrain,
and bury the memory along with the pain.
hey! the order of the day
hey! the order of the day
hey! the order of the day
i sent a message that you didn't read,
i tried to call but you hung up on me.
Come in sit by the light
Tell us everything that happened tonight
We know you were there
There at the scene of the crime
No, no you've got it all wrong
You can't blame me
For something I haven't done
It was all just a big mistake
And now you can't think straight
Cause they're onto you now
And they've figured you out
Cause they're onto you now
They're always just one step behind
And you're so scared of what they'll find
And now you're running for your life
You're buying everything they sell
Those pushed will always say they fell
You got a postcard sent from hell
With my strong alibi
You can't frame me, don't even try
You don't know me
You're not even trying to see
And now you can't think straight
Cause they're onto you now
And they've figured you out
Cause they're onto you now
They're always just one step behind
And you're so scared of what they'll find
And now you're running for your life
You're buying everything they sell
Those pushed will always say they fell
You got a postcard sent from hell
And you don't belong
And the papers are never wrong!
Just like the public don't forget, don't forget, don't forget
And now you can't think straight
And now you can't think straight
You're not even trying to see
They're always just one step behind
And you're so scared of what they'll find
And now you're running for your life
You're buying everything they sell
Those pushed will always say they fell
Give me your heart, give me your head...or I'll keep coming back
Give me your hair, give me your skin...or I'll keep coming back
I'll take your friends I'll take your kids...I'll keep coming back
I'll take away all your reasons to live...I'll keep coming back
What's the sense in praying when you already seen know the truth?
I'll keep on coming back
I've taken your legs, I've taken your spine...and I'll keep coming back
I've soaked up your blood, devoured your eyes...and I'll keep coming back
You think you've got years, you think you've got time?
I won't hesitate to take it away, no reason or rhyme...I'll keep coming back
What's the sense in praying when you already seen know the truth?
You're disintegrating...it's the heartbreaking proof that I'll keep on coming back
It keeps coming back, I guess we should fight...
We'll start fighting back
The irony is it can't take you alive...please start fighting back
I know you're scared, just take my hand
We'll start fighting back
It keeps coming back, can't take you alive
Just take my hand, we'll keep fighting back
My knees are cut from praying to a god I don't even know
My soul ain't worth saving but if you're there you won't let her go
Workin' for a man that you don't understand so forget it
Spendin' all your dough yeah you know as soon as you get it
Wastin' your time on an assembly line you want out of it
Pickin' up your pay at the end of the day and get out of it
And get away
Cause you're wonderin' if it's gonna change
Cause the weekdays are the same as always never changing
Make a break, another escape
I gotta get out, I gotta get out
Make a break, another escape
I gotta get out, I gotta get out
Long live the weekend
Monday - don't want to get out of bed
Tuesday - I'm walking with the dead
Wednesday - never felt so wrong
Thursday - takes twice as long
but Friday, i know where I'm gonna be
Faraway from the same old everyday ordinary
Make a break, another escape
I gotta get out, I gotta get out
Make a break, another escape
I gotta get out, I gotta get out
Long live the weekend
Long live the weekend
Week in, week out
Well I don't care if i don't get paid
I can't sit here for one more day....
Wasting away
Well now you're wonderin' if it's gonna change
Cause the weekdays are the same as always never changing
Make a break, another escape
I gotta get out, I gotta get out
Make a break, another escape
I gotta get out, I gotta get out
Long live the weekend
Long live the weekend
Long live the weekend
Long live the weekend
i'm sick of feeling like i lost this fight
i'm sick of graying out the wrongs and rights
i'm pulling out of here to clear my sights
tonight
so hear me out baby and dry your eyes
i'd write it out but it would just seem trite
i'm pulling out of here with holy spite
tonight
but i've got this guitar and i can barely play
how could we have known about what was in store?
you never pictured me walk out this door
i guess we didn't know just what we swore
down at the broke down reservoir
could we have one more shot for both our sakes?
can we slow it down and give not take
'cause if you can't forgive me for my mistakes
my heart will break
see i've got my guitar that i can barely play
and i betray a piece of your heart each time i go away
but redemption comes harder when your choosing not to pray
we can't stay innocent if we just run and hide
no remedy for scars and tears you've cried
my mind would ease if you told me your heart
won't change if you knew that i tried
no innocence if we just run and hide
no remedy for all those tears you cried
my mind's a mess 'cause you told me your heart's changed and
Desperate desperate just hanging on the line
we're waiting and watching for the slightest sign
the smell of medicine chokes or have the flowers died?
it's left me feeling so reckless
Oh did I say what I mean how did we spend our time?
the squeaking waiting room door making me lose my mind
it leaves a feeling so helpless
If we get out of here in time
maybe we'll pinch ourselves and this
nightmare could just work out fine
I won't dismiss even the slightest hope
do you have more of those, and do they help you cope?
I'd trust in anything now oh will it help me
cope with the feeling so desperate
Hurry up get in here now, oh no you'll have to wait
did you sanitize your hands? oh that's the part I hate
to be told it's so helpless
If we get out of here in time
maybe we'll just pinch ourselves
and this nightmare could just work out fine
if we get you out of here in time
we may just buy ourselves some time
Is anyone out there is this thing on?
can you hear me?
is anyone out there is this thing on?
See them walking hand in hand across the bridge at midnight
Heads turning as the lights flashing out are so bright
Then walk right out to the fourline track
There’s a camera rolling on her back on her back
And I sense the rhythms humming in a frenzy
All the way down her spine
Girls on film
Girls on film
Girls on film
Girls on film
Lipstick cherry all over the lens as she’s falling
In miles of sharp blue water coming in where she lies
The diving man’s coming up for air
Cause the crowd all love pulling dolly by the hair, by the hair
And she wonders how she ever got here
As she goes under again
Girls on film (two minutes later)
Girls on film
Girls on film (got your picture)
Girls on film
Wider baby smiling you’ve just made a million
Fuses pumping live heat twisting out on a wire
Take one last glimpse into the night
I’m touching close I’m holding bright, holding tight
Give me shudders with a whisper take me high
Till I I’m shooting a star
Girls on film (she’s more than a lady)
Girls on film
Girls on film (see you together)
Girls on film
Girls on film (see you later)
Girls on film
I can remember it so well,
the bed of roses where we lay,
the crown of thorns I was so keen to give away.
All the warning signs ignored,
the passion's played.
I could foresee what was to come,
I had a sense of what might happen.
The river runs and very rapidly
becomes a torrent, sweeping us
towards our ricochet.
It takes a lifetime to unravel all the threads
that have tied us in our webs of tourniquet.
I stake no claim on memory.
I stand on ceremonial quicksand.
I look for something with solidity
to hold:
something lasting, something pristine, with no sense of
decay.
Can you remember how that was?
Can you remember?
It takes a lifetime's understanding of the flow
to surrender, let the current sweep you away.
What if I'd told you I would never let you go,
I would hold you every step along the way.
It takes a lifetime to unlearn all that you know
[Verse 1]
The summit, the peaks
The plains and the valley
The ballad, the fog, the bank with the alley
The waking hour, the moment, the dream
The moaning, the murmur, the laughter, the scream
The filling beginning, the quiet finale
Eh eh eh eh lifetime, lifetime
Keep keeping on
Maintain the rock, keep up the rock
[Verse 2]
The lights in the plaza meant there's something fantastic
The moment I met you, the first look was like magic
Yeah, there's the way that it is and the way that it feels
There's the distance between the ideal and the bills
Yet, I see all the numbers; I still lull for the dreamer
I thank God for the dreamers, lifetime [2x] keep keeping on
Maintain the rock, keep up the rock
Maintain the spot, keep up the block
Maintain the rock, keep up the rock
[Verse 3]
Ehhh
I know this much is true
We don't wanna be lonely
Whether kind or you're cruel, be you no more oh lonely
The riot is easy and the silence is loud
You can build yourself up by just turning things down
We were fashioned in love, so why should we feel lonely?
When forever is only... Lifetime [2x]
Keep keeping on
Maintain the rock, keep up the block
Maintain the rock, keep up the rock
It's been a lifetime since i told you i care
It took a second, though it felt like a day
I want you closer, closer than you are now
Conversations, they lead us nowhere
If somehow, you feel to complain
I'm here just watching over you
It takes more than assumptions
To make me understand your point
It's been a lifetime since the day you were there
Blinked a moment, it all burnt away
Just say something, anything at all
I'm used to i won't take the fall
If somehow you fail
If somehow you just try to make it through the day
Then stay close to me maybe i'll try to take you through
Take you through on another day
Another day...
Just like a sunny day can turn all dark and gray, this game goes on and on. Out on the streets, broken dreams they come so cheap but no one can leave me for dead cuz i got one good fight left in me tonight, and the most beautiful girl in my head. Sometimes she comes to me in a song, sometimes she comes in a dream. She's all the joy in my heart she's everything that i see. Days they come and days go by, sometimes we fight and I don't know why I'll give it all up to her Everything i did and said I've got all i want now in my sight, and the most beautiful girl in my head Sometimes she comes to me in a song, sometimes she comes in a dream Shes all the joy in my heart, she's everything that i see. When we're together there is no time there is no space, when we're together everything is in it's place. Turn myself inside out for her, my endless love is without form, let my heart be the light that guides her through the storm. Tomorrow's a lifetime away, she's all I want today.
I was reborn when I was broken
I wouldn't believe, I wouldn't believe, no
been thru a storm, no use in hoping
that you would come rescue me
somehow your love set me free
And I, I can let my life pass me by
or I can get down and try
work it all out this lifetime
work it on out this time
I can let it all pass me by
or I can get down and try
work it all out this lifetime lifetime
There was a time when love wasn't chosen
now I'm just open for more
now I'm just reaching out for something better
that I had before, girl
there ain't a bottom line in your world
Ooh and I, I can let my life pass me by
or I can get down and try
work it all out this lifetime
work it on out this time
I can let it all pass me by
or I can just try and try
I can move to the light
oh if I take it one day at a time (oh I)
oh spread my love out and fly
oh I (I can move to the light)
ooh I can just make you understand
that love is not a fairytale in a melody
if you want it you can have it girl
maybe you will see maybe you will see (ooh ooh)
ooh oh oh wo oh
She's got her lover's soul
Her extremities
She lost her radio
She's got her memories
She's driving much too fast
She wants to make it last
She wrote a song for you
She calls it black and blue
Ain't no way to live at all
Ain't no way to live a lifetime
Just ain't no way darlin' to live at all
Ain't no way to live a lifetime
She knows she's second-rate
She wonders if you'll stay
She's sick of being late
She's crawling back again
And love her anyway
It's such a bitter end
She knows she don't belong
She screams a children's song
Ain't no way to live a lifetime
Ain't no way to live at all
Ain't no way to live a lifetime
Just ain't no way, darlin' to live at all
And the sun don't shine my way
And the moon don't make me dance
If you're listening, hear me pray
I'd give my hands for just a second chance
My plea is not in vain
She lost her lover's soul
She lost her radio
Her extremities
She's got her memories
Just let that bad man go
She's sweating in the snow
Don't call, the truth ain't home
No one to call her own
the clouds move between
you and me and New York City
the song gets fuzzy on the AM radio
tucked underneath the pillow
I move my fingers slow
across the frequencies
and try to dial in the sound
to drown the noise out
and stop the world from falling
how it anchors me now
half the verse it disappears
in the static and the haze
(what a lifetime we have)
and the second refrain gets lost in the rain
but that's the magic and mystery
that's how we fall in love
we worship God together
and worship us alone
as we kneel at the bed
you turn the light out
and say good night out loud
what a lifetime we have
so when you're old and broken down
and you can't conjure up a sound
don't despair, my darling
the tubes will glow and fill the room
with the scent of burning dust
I wake up, put my poker face on
It's roughly the same hand
I was dealt yesterday
I stand up and stare out at the skyline
It's roughly the same town
That I saw yesterday
Living doesn't come first try
It takes a lifetime getting it right
It takes a lifetime to learn how to sing
To find my place in the worlds symphony
To become the man today
The man I thought I could be
It takes a lifetime
It takes a lifetime
I wake up and bandage these scars
The scars of my heart
That prove that I'm still alive
That I'm still alive
Living doesn't come first try
It takes a lifetime getting it right
Living doesn't come first try
It takes a lifetime getting it right
It takes a lifetime to learn how to sing
To find my place in the worlds symphony
To become the man today
The man I thought I could be
The man I thought I could be
It takes a lifetime
I called my mama yesterday
To wish her happy birthday
She said, ?Baby, your mama's getting old
And I'm damn glad to be alive today?
She said, ?I'm 10 years cancer free
And I thank the good Lord everyday
But Marie, she's got it bad
And honey, Patsy's passed away?
She said a lifetime ain't no time at all
She said a lifetime ain't no time at all
I listened to my mama's voice
And I felt a chill pass right through
'Cos I've seen the virus take the boys
And I've watched my friends get sick too
We talked about how Michael died
With his friends around him everyday
How we all took turns by his side
How we helped him disappear that way
I know a lifetime ain't no time at all
I know a lifetime ain't no time at all
Mama said, ?Ain't we a mess?
Child, we're full of life and scared of death
It must be hell to watch your friends die young
But getting old now, there's some fun?
You know, life'd mean nothing if we didn't die
Laughter, empty, if we didn't cry
It's all the way it's supposed to be
But it moves fast and it's hard to see
'Cos a lifetime ain't no time at all
Yes, a lifetime ain't no time at all
A lifetime ain't no time at all
Whoa, oh, oho, whoa, oh, oho
You knew better, I knew better
Knew you wouldn’t change
My love’s been real and it’s 3 years
In this, boy you’re still the same
Standing in your rain, your bad weather
It can’t get no wetter
You looked right in my eyes and told me that you’ll love me better
But now I’m caged in my fears
And I’m drowning in my fears
And I had the love that would have lasted you a lifetime,
A lifetime, a lifetime,
Lasted you a lifetime, a lifetime, a lifetime, whoa, oh
You knew better, I knew better
Knew you wouldn’t change
My love’s been real and it’s 3 years
In this, boy you’re still the same
Standing in your rain, your bad weather
It can’t get no wetter
You looked right in my eyes and told me that you’ll love me better
But now I’m caged in my fears
And I’m drowning in my fears
And I had the love that would have lasted you a lifetime,
A lifetime, a lifetime,
Ah ah, ah ah ah, ah ah, ah ah
Ah ah, ah ah ah, ah ah, ah ah
Breathe, breathe, breathe before you get old
sing, sing, sing a song that you know
sleep sleep sleep with someone you love
let them know you do, that you really do
Hold them tight and don't forget
Differences are differences
All the dreams in life that you've been letting go
Blink and then you'll miss them and you'll never know
This could be the moment that turns into a lifetime.
Ah ah, ah ah ah, ah ah , ah ah
Ah ah, ah ah ah, ah ah , ah ah
Give, give, give of yourself
Live, live, live better than well
Do, do, do all you can do
Love them like you want someone to love you
Highs and lows will come your way
There's no need to be afraid
All the dreams in life that you've been letting go
Blink and then you'll miss them and you'll never know
This could be the moment that turns into a lifetime.
Ah ah, ah ah ah, ah ah , ah ah
And always remember that your brighter days are up ahead (no regrets)
Squeeze them tight and don't forget
Differences are differences
All the dreams in life that you've been letting go
Blink and then you'll miss them and you'll never know
This could be the moment,
this could be the moment that turns into a lifetime.
Ah ah, ah ah ah, ah ah , ah ah
Ah ah, ah ah ah, ah ah , ah ah
Ah ah, ah ah ah, ah ah , ah ah
(Verse)
We got high a thousand times in your brother's room
Talked about how we break free, guess it came too soon.
We grew up, drifted apart, now you're getting married
While I'm waiting for my life to start.
(Chorus)
Are you ready to make that call?
It's gonna be a lifetime.
It was only a few years ago, but it feels like a lifetime.
(Verse)
The year your brother left home is mostly you and me
We spend our whole summer there on his balcony.
We were young, that was then
And I can't help the feeling that is never coming back again.
(Chorus)
Are you ready to make that call?
It's gonna be a lifetime.
It was only a few years ago, but it feels like a lifetime.
Are you ready to make that call?
It's gonna be a lifetime.
It was only a few years ago, but it feels like a lifetime.
(Bridge)
And we used to dream of what was beyond these walls
And we used to pray that one day we'll see them fall
And there'll be nothing, nothing but time
Tell it to the world - You're so worn out
All you wanna do is just scream and shout
Tell it to the world - It's over now
Whatever we had got lost somehow
But you don't feel that same way do you
Not this time around
If you could save us now then would you
Over and out
But you don't feel that same way do you
Not this time around
It all comes crashing down how could you
Over and out
Nothing in this world could ever change
Who you truely are and how it's all arranged
Nothing in this world could ever heal
I'll be the protector of your heart.
The front lines of your guardian angels
We will build our love upon a rock
We'll not fear the trust in times of danger.
My soul, my soul, my soul can breathe in your love
I know I know I know I come alive in your touch.
And I won't let go,
Cause it will take a lifetime to know
All of the love I have to give.
You my love can be my great companion
Through the storms our love will never run
Shine like the morning,
Unveil a story
Something so much bigger than us
My soul my soul my soul can breathe in your love
I know I know I know I come alive in your touch.
And I won't let go
Cause it will take a lifetime to know
All of the love I have to give
And when the darkness tries to shake us
There will be nothing that can brake us
I won't let go of what I promised you
A steady heart will follow through
My soul, my soul, my soul can breathe in your love
I know I know I know I come alive in your touch
And I won't let go
Cause it will take a lifetime to know
All of the love I have to give.
It will take a lifetime to know
All of the love I have to give
It will take a lifetime to know
sometimes i go crazy sometimes i sleep all day sometimes i don't know if i can make it but i make it anyway yeah i make it anyway sometimes i look outside and wonder if the sun will rise sometimes i wonder how far i'll run before i fall, it doesn't matter at all it takes time to live a lifetime it takes time and i'll be fine i'll be fine sometimes i just can't sleep and sometimes i trip over my feet sometimes are better than others but i'll make it anyway, yeah I'll make it anyway chorus now when you face a dead end and the walls are closing in you can't give up you've gotta start again sometimes i feel so lost and i turn to you and you say the right thing you tell me âyou know what?â âwe'll make it anywayâ âyeah we'll make it anywayâ chorus

Who you know more sick with the spit, more slick with the gift?
It'll take a lifetime to get with
I'm the top competitor, editor, ProTool predator
Studio sabotage and I beast the bars
They say my lyrical range is further than yours
So if I shoot for Saturn I land on the stars
When I talk about Saturn I ain't talkin the cars
I mean the next door neighbor to Mars
I'm amazingly [? ], retartedly hard
Solo, group or squad
I put 16 darts on the beat, give me applause
Cause the more [? ] you hype, more muppets to snipe
Niggas chains get swiped, [? ] up with a knife
More [? ] with the white than the typical type
Puttin all this fictional hype in the sentence he write
When it come to the stu' and what I do on the mic
It'll take niggas a lifetime to get it right

[Verse 2: Torae]
I don't know if it's the appeal, the thrill, the lackluster skills
But something about these niggas that's out I don't feel
You should see 'em front the radio when I get a chill
Every track back to back it'll be somethin I'll
Now the lack of the skill got us slackin for real
To the point I could do joints, I ain't lookin for deals
Kinda hurtin my feelings, the damage you build
Shit is hard to be a fan of it still, dammit for real
Bound to hand him a mirror for he see how he look
And I ain't tryin to throw the book at you, just throw out your book
Oh I forgot, y'all don't write, niggas be so tight
They do magic in the booth - just poof - niggas is nice
You can say what you like about me and my type
Or give it any label you like, y'all know that I'm right
When it come to the stu' and what I do with the mic
It'll take niggas a lifetime to get it right

[Verse 3: Torae]
George Bush don't fuck with blacks, Torae don't fuck with wack
MC's and they garbage tracks
Back to the drawing board with that
The fuck you doin recordin that?
Hit me more on the scratch
Nigga, get the thoughts out of your head
I'm lightyears, days, hours ahead
Most of y'all rap niggas coulda stayed in bed
If that bullshit the best that you did
Shit is garbage, you dig, my nig
But this the shit
You could copy what I write and I'm a still get biz
That was just to show love, no subliminal diss
I'm a take it to the max as a minimalist
You feminine ish, you bitch like the faggety type
You can hit your website and type to your delight
Cause when it come to the booth and what I do with the mic
It'll take niggas a lifetime to get it right

Been in love a time before
But it didn't work out right
This love for you, I can't ignore
I tried to run but I just can't hide, no, no
Girl, I put my trust in you
I'm not afraid of what my boys might say
'Cuz I know that my love is real
All I'm askin' for is
A lifetime is all that I need
I'm ready to settle down and give you all of me
A lifetime is all that I need
Don't ever take your love away
I'll be here always
I can't believe I feel this way
I was always a playa goin' hard
So many girls, so many games
I left a trail of broken hearts
But somehow you came along
Came along and set my soul on fire
And ever since that day
My life hasn't been the same
A lifetime is all that I need
I'm ready to settle down and give you all of me
A lifetime is all that I need
Don't ever take your love away
I'll be here always
I never thought I'd fall so deep
The thought of your love, it makes me weak
You came and turned my life around
Oh, you broke me down
Words can't express the way I feel
Whatever you want, just ask, I will
Girl, it's our time, I made up my mind
And no one else will do
A lifetime is all that I need
I'm ready to settle down and give you all of me
A lifetime is all that I need
Don't ever take your love away
I'll be here always
A lifetime is all that I need
I'm ready to settle down and give you all of me
A lifetime is all that I need
Don't ever take your love away
'Cause I'll be here always
I'm gonna be right here
Sonic signs are waiting
for me to show a way.
I am anticipating
to be the perfect deputy.
But to be honest, I'm my father's son.
A chosen one.
While the world is changing
I try to keep an open mind.
Even though it's plain to see
that things remained the same inside.
(I remain the same inside)
Everyone has seen it:
‘the only perfect way'.
Ignoring there are crossings
that make the target fade away.
(From) now ‘til the end of a lifetime
let me be myself.
Let me be invincible
in stories I can tell.
Until the end of a lifetime
let me be myself.
I define my heaven,
send the doubting ones to hell!
Now I know what's going on.
I bring it back into my heart
the blood of youth.
It didn't change its color
red to black.
Now I know how to carry on.
I bring them voices from within.
So the blind can see.
It's time for me, now to bring them back.
Denying where I come from
don't seem to be too true.
This is why I roam on.
For everything he did -for all he didn't do
Tears spilled in the night - I will make it right
I'm here to comfort you
For hurtful things he said -for words that were not true
I am here to say love will find a way - we can make it
through
And it will take a lifetime for the things that you hold
dear.
It will take a lifetime - 'til our world is fresh and
clear
It will take a lifetime - God willin' I'II be here
We can keep it true - just for me and you.
No matter who was right - no flatter what went wrong
We can make a start with a hopeful heart
This is just where you belong
For things you've kept inside where no one else could see
Secrets that you've had - both the good and bad
You can share it all with me.
And it will take a lifetime for the things that you hold
dear
It will take a lifetime -'til our world is fresh and
clear
It will take a lifetime - god willin' I'II be here
Cause Ive been here ten thousand days
And I never cease to be amazed
By the simplest of wonders
Like when my little girl smiles
Or the rain comes falling from the sky
Im content in the moment as I wait for you
And I want to know you, tell me your name
Your name is a mystery, for you Ill wait
You are so alluring
Believe me when I say
I would wait a lifetime to find you
Here is where Ill be
The waiting is the hardest part
Even more so for impatient hearts like me
Who find a way to miss all the moments
But when patience finally pays its dues
And my eyes they finally fall on you
How sweet, how sweet it will be
So I say I love you, I know your name
Your name is a promise, I wont play any games
You are so alluring
Believe me when I say
I would wait a lifetime to find you
Here is where Ill be
I would wait a lifetime to find you
A bullet train is coming through
Rain and gasoline
Hear the melody?
Do as winners do
Life is calling my number
In this place and time
It's fine to be alive
It's fine to be alive
No need
For fortune, hope or glory
I have a lifetime
To make history
It's not a game of hide and seek
I have a lifetime
That's all the time I need
A stray dog is coming through
Lost and never found
A homeless greyhound
Do as drifters do
Today no closed doors or dead ends
But open air and sun
Let it all come
Every day someone is born again
I want to be that one
