Gomez or Gómez is a common Spanish surname. The Portuguese and Old Galician is Gomes, while the Catalan form is Gomis.
It is derived from the given name Gomes which is a loanword of the Visigothic word guma "man". It is itself related to the Common Germanic word guma (Old English guma "man", Middle English gome) / gomo (High Old German gomo "man", Middle High German gome) related to Latin homo "man".

Gabriel Jaime 'Barrabas' Gómez Jaramillo (born 8 December 1959 in Medellín) is a retired Colombian footballer who played as a central midfielder.
During his career, Gómez played mainly for hometown side Atlético Nacional, representing the club in eight professional seasons, in two different spells, and helping the team to three first division titles.
Incidentally, in 1989, when Atlético won the Libertadores Cup, he played for city neighbours Independiente Medellín, having signed from Club Deportivo Los Millonarios. After returning to Nacional in 1991, Gómez retired four years later, at the age of 36.
During nearly one full decade, Gómez was capped 49 times for Colombia, scoring twice. He represented the nation in two FIFA World Cups, 1990 and 1994, and three Copa América tournaments: 1987, 1989 and 1993.
In the World Cup, Gómez started in all four of his country's matches in 1990, as Colombia ousted in the round of 16 against Cameroon. Four years later, in the United States, he received death threats from unknown people prior to the second group stage match against the hosts, and refused to appear in the game. Days following the 1–2 loss which certified the South American team's elimination, defender Andrés Escobar was murdered upon returning home, after scoring an own goal in the match.

And though I find it hard
I might say with a gay abandon
Girl, we got it all
A room with a view of the rings of Saturn

If you have the one, you've always desired
Don't break her, la la la
I said you waste her, you waster
My mind may go astray

This road to Mandalay
Where you might drown when the water's shallow
And though you'll find it hard
You might add with a gay abandon
Now, girl, we got it all
On Santa Monica Boulevard

Do you ever stop and wonder
Where you'd be without her
Do you listened, do you listened, do you listened
To what she said to you
The sound of sounds ain't lightning
The whisper, the promise, the solace
Of where you're lead to me
Yeah
The sound of sounds ain't lightning
Yeah
Her sound of sounds ain't lightning
Have you forgotten who you are
(Have you forgotten who you are)

Since I was a child
I was chased like a demon out of town
Born the second child
Of a leg, leg, legless hound
And I am gonna follow you around
And I am gonna follow you around
Yeah, I
I'm eagerly adopted
By the darkest atmosphere
Playin' in the playground
With [Incomprehensible] others, yeah
And I am gonna follow you around
And I am gonna follow you around
Yeah, I
And I am gonna follow you around
And I am gonna follow you around
And I am gonna follow you around
And I am gonna follow you around
I've been caught in a trap I set for myself
I don't want to be here when you could be somewhere else
So why'd I sit on my hands like a book on a shelf
Where nothing but dust is falling?
Everyone 'round here lives in silence
If I had something to say I'd say what I mean
How'd you lose all your words? I swear it's obscene, I curse
How'd you look at yourself as the mirror turns green?
Yeah, only the fools ignore us
Everyone 'round here lives in silence
I could wait all my life for someone to think
I can't open your eyes but I can make you blink at me
So please don't try to be nice, don't need your advice
Please leave me to die of boredom
Everyone 'round here lives in silence
Silence
(They wait for the end)
Silence
(They bow and they bend)
Silence
(Their homes they defend)
Well hey, how's tricks man
Think I seen you before
Blank blank do you
You looked a lot older
You been workin' out
What's wrong with that
Well he came back and
Came marching in
Shot, shot to the
He found a good reason
Do it for the money
What's wrong with that
Control your bad side in to peril
We come down
Hold the line
You're so fine
Dead wrong
So please stop talking
Start puckering up
My ears are blank
It's the special occasions
You do it for the money
Can't go wrong with that
Explode or capsize
Provide my poet
If you're down
Tow the line
You're so fine
Heaven knows, Lord, I've been crying
Heaven knows, Lord, I've been longing for an answer
From the day we arrive on this planet
And blinking, step into the sun
There's more to see than can ever be seen
More to do than can ever be done
There is far too much to take in here
More to find than can ever be found
But the sun rolling high
Through the sapphire sky
Keeps great and small on the endless round
It's the circle of life
And it moves us all
Through despair and hope
Through faith and love
Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the circle
The circle of life
It's the circle of life
And it moves us all
Through despair and hope
Through faith and love
Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the circle
Bust up
No trust
Getting along
Best get clean, get on
She's gone, I'm gone
Ruff stuff
Something's wrong
Best get clean, get on
I'm spending all her money
On the best that I can buy
So I'm locked up
Trussed up
Shackles on
Best get clean for her
Jittery soup
Stuffed turkey
Cold cop
Best get clean for her
I'm hot and feeling funny
I'm sweating to get dry
Darling
(Come back!)
I've given up fags and drugs now baby
Darling
(Come back!)
I've had enough of the ruff stuff, baby
Darling
(Come back!)
Been hangin' round in smack bogs, baby
Darling
(Come back!)
I've given up fags and drugs now baby
Leave your fever, breather
Get off
Get off
Get on
Feeling weak
Downbeat
Two weeks of two
Need help for her
I'm sick with paranoia
It's the most that I can do
Hot meal
Warm bath
On my feet
Got it beat for you
Take a look
Early nights
Good books
Cook and clean for you
So go and call your mother
'Cause she's been using too
Darling
(Come back!)
I've given up fags and drugs now baby
Darling
(Come back!)
I've had enough of the ruff stuff, baby
Darling
(Come back!)
Been hangin' round in smack bogs, baby
Darling
(Come back!)
Rosemary's the kind of girl
Don't need no reason
She's the kind
That just won't settle down
Clothes are out of season
She'll be done for treason
She'll be hanging
From a tree upside down
Fever, fever
Where you trying to run?
Fever, diva
Rosemary's not done
Well, Rosemary's the kind of girl
Tired of her beauty
She has taken
All her mirrors down
So you best believe her
The girl will give you fever
She's the kind to heat you up
And cool you down
Fever, fever
Where you trying to run?
Fever, diva
Rosemary, she's not done
intro
You can write your tunes with rhythm and blues as your alibi
You can sell your soul and lay the blame on the passers-by
You shake your body on the TV screen
It seems to me, you'd try anything twice
And swing it out and use it as your aphrodisiac
You can give it to me, to me
Plain to see that I'll give it you back
You let it flow, let it go, there's nothing to it
Anyone can try anything twice, try anything twice
Chasing after stories that have already been told
Cannot look old Son House in the eyes
I know where you carry such a fragile load
But I've got yours, and you've got mine
It's a rhythm and blues alibi
instrumental
La la la la la la la la la la laaa..
You can take a trip through your juke joint smoke-filled paradise
You can give it your all, 'cause you are walking a fine, fine line, la
You shake your booty on the TV screen
Seems to me, you'd try anything twice
You'd try anything twice
Well let me hear you now..
Chasing after stories that have already been told,
Couldn't I look old sunhouse in the eyes,
I know where you carry such a fragile load,
And I've got yours, you've got mine
It's a rhythm and blues alibi
La la la la la etc.

Take me places that I know from sleep
Let me sleep, let me sleep
Head out and fade out
Keep on the light on, turn it up
Head out and fall down now
Keep the light on and turn it up

Head out and fall down now
Keep the light on and turn it up

Keep on pickin' the dirt
From 'neath your fingernails
'Cause I'm not worried
About your state of mind
'Cause you're not the revolutionary kind
Keep on in the jungle
With your techno-cality
Keep on lapping up
Your chemical duty-free
'Cause I'm not worried
About your state of mind
'Cause you're not the revolutionary kind
Keep on twistin', turnin'
Staring down the sun
Keep on dancin', dancin'
Dance with everyone
You're not the revolutionary kind
You're not the revolutionary kind
You're not the revolutionary kind

I guess in time we'll all return to the scene
Awake the old dog in me
Our love was blind, a love unpretentious and free
Our love was blind, but now my love's leaving me
Today or tonight you will see
I've got a hopeless memory
That you'll remember me
Do not waste your sympathy
It all runs off of me
Though the wind blows you've drawn its call from my sins
God knows rainbows but you seem only too pale
A little or nothing prevails
I've got a timeless melody
That I sing out of key
Do not waste your energy
It all runs off of
Me, and you, and everybody
Me, and you, and everybody
Me, and you, and everybody
Me, and you, and everybody
Someday you'll say, "I wish you were here in my arms"
Till then I'll pray that you'll submit to my charms
Always keep safe from harm
Always keep safe from harm
I've got a loveless melody
So please remember me
Do not waste your sympathy
It all runs off of
Me, and you, and everybody
Me, and you, and everybody
Me, and you, and everybody
Me, and you, and everybody
Me, and you, and everybody

Gone so far away, now won't be back today or tomorrow
Good bye Lauren Lee, my precious Lauren Lee has gone out

*Love is better than a warm trombone, when blown, softly by a two tone, brother
*Down on luck by chance, caress her head off at the boogaloo trance
With his hands in his pocket he could not lie
With his hands in his pocket he began to cry
With his hands in his pocket he lowered his eye
*He said Miss I guess I ought to apologise, I've been fallin, I'm falling down
The river of your lovelorn souls is getting deeper than the deepest dish washing
bowl
*Now brother get the dirt off your hands, it's getting darker than a
sun-chaser's the sun tan
With his hands in his pockethe could not lie
With his hands in his pockethe began to cry
With his hands in his pockethe lowered his eyes

Find the time in my cradle
Be my hell of a girl
See my hell of a girl
Be my hell of a girl
See my hell of a girl
She waters down the rain when I get home
Be my hangover girl
See my hangover girl
Be my hangover girl
See my hangover girl
She waters down the rain when I get home
It's gonna rain when I get home
It's gonna rain when I get home
It's gonna rain when I get home
Well I'm goin' out west
Where the wind blows tall
'Cause Tony Franciosa
Used to date my ma
They got some money out there
They're giving it away
I'm gonna do what I want
Do what I want
And I'm gonna get paid
Little brown sausages
Lying in the sand

Well my parole officer
WIll be proud of me
With my Olds 88
And the devil on a leash
My Olds 88
And the devil on a leash
Well I know karate, Voodoo too
I'm gonna make myself available to you
I don't need no make up
I got real scars
I got hair on my chest
I look good without a shirt
Well I don't lose my composure
In a high speed chase
Well my friends think I'm ugly
I got a masculine face
I got some dragstrip courage
I can really drive a bed
I'm gonna change my name
To Hannibal or maybe
Just Rex
Change my name to Hannibal
Or maybe just Rex
I'm gonna drive all night
Take some speed
I'm gonna wait for the sun
To shine down on me
I cut a hole in my roof
In the shape of a heart
And I'm goin' out west
Where they'll appreciate me
Well, how do you do?
Do you like the look of me and you together?
So take me out
Spill a little drink on your lap and
She said to me so deep inside
Well, I'm thinkin' that I'm an extra special guy
Takin' it all with an extra pinch of salt
My friends seem to think that I'm the one now
You're only teasin' me now
I'm not so laid back that I wouldn't try
Well, how do you do?
Would you like me to?
I'm not suggestin'b that I want you, but
I'll take you out, spill a little drink down my back and
She said to me so deep inside

You're only teasin' me now
I'm not so laid back that I wouldn't try
You're only teasin' me now
I'm not so laid back that I wouldn't try
Too much, too soon
Are you made outta stone?
Or are you made outta gold?
I'll be no clearer
When I'm wrinkled an' old
When I'm wrinkled an' old
She said to me so deep inside
Well, I'm thinkin' that I'm an extra special guy
Takin' it all with an extra pinch of salt
My friends seem to think that I'm the one now
You're only teasin' me now
I'm not so laid back that I wouldn't drive you home
You're only teasin' me now

Help, help, help, help
Someone call the doctor, I think I'm goin' blind
My old periodic gnosis is bleeding from my eyes
Someone better help me the plot is hotting up

I love this island but this island's killing me
Sitting here in silence, man I don't get no peace

Gonna leave everything I know gonna head out towards the sea
Jump off this island gonna head out towards the sea
I love this city man but this city's killing me
Sitting here in all this noise man I don't get no peace
The cars below my street take me away piece by piece

Gonna leave this city man, gonna head out towards the sea
Get miles away, get miles away, get miles away
Get miles
I love this planet but this planet's killin' me
Sitting here in all this grass man I don't get no weed
The sweat comin' from my pores take me away piece by piece
Gonna leave everything I know gonna head to the galaxy

Get miles away, get miles away, get miles away, get miles away, get miles away,
get miles away, get miles away

And I've been walking far too long
Drag my feet like everyone
Always wanted to run away but walk slowly along
I feel so tired
Wanna sit here for a while,
I can see it in your smile
Come sit here, let's hold for a while

Drag my feet like everyone
Always wanted to run away but walk slowly along

Hello
Come in and get yourself something to drink
And tell me something I don't know about you
I'll tell you something 'bout me
Does it feel right?
Like penetrating insight
Or blinded by the cuckoo with the hiccups
Lets drink it to the side
I think I'm coming round, I'm seeing through the smoke
I think I'm coming round, I feelin' signs some hope
Some water, some whisky, some cigarettes, some dope
I think I'm coming round, can you help me up to cope
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Trapped in
Undergoing bodily sins
The pole cannot be driven through the kneecap
The kneecap will prevail here
So keep trying
Prevent yourself from crying

Made entirely outta bones

I wish I could cry on demand,
Boo Hoo, Boo Hoo
Given all these troubles on my mind,
The tears won't come out.
I've been shaking, shaking in my boots
Every time I hear my telephone ring
It can't possibly be you,
You never call,
Not since my little accident.
I didn't mean to cause any trouble
I didn't know we were so serious
Yeah, I didn't mean to burst our bubble
It can only float for so long
Now I realise, I realise they were wrong,
'cos what happens in Vegas,
Don't take very long,
To travel accross continents,
And onwards overseas,
Onto our little island,
To our city, our home,
I didn't mean to cause any trouble
I didn't know we were so serious
Yeah, I didn't mean to burst our bubble
It could only float for so long
Sometimes I wish, I could cry on demand
Boo Hoo, Boo Hoo
Given all these troubles on my mind,
The tears won't come out.

One of these fine old days, I'm gonna be free
Keep on truckin' now, smilin', wavin' your hand
Oh, goodbye
She's just fuckin' around now,
Saying those things that she doesn't really mean to say
She's got guns to her hip, he's a-crackin' his whip
Yeah, he's a cowboy
Well he sees her walk by, got that look in her eye
She's so fine, she's so fine
He's a cowboy

Nightfall follows the day
You fight with me fill me with patience
I was so brave once you rescued me got in my way
A thousand times dumbfounded lies
In tidy lines let blood flood the town
Thoughts that dwell on how we fell
That time will tell a bedside story of
We've heard it before unsettled sleep when will it all stop?
I hear a pin drop you've answered me loud and clear
So know your fate the time and date
We escalate we fall on holy ground
Thoughts that dwell on how we fell
That time will tell a bedside story of

You're havin' me on
It's takin' too long
When's it going to kick in?
And you call this a song?

Wake up butterfly
The sun's fallen down
The clouds are rollin' over
And we still got many miles to go
From winter days come starless nights
The constellations frown
And when the Heavens start to open
Even monkeys gonna need a coat
And the masterpiece slipped through my hand
Stole a car and drove to a foreign land
The man with the camera said
He'd seen it all before, uh huh
And Opus 49's to blame
From moon illusion Buena Vista in flames
The man with the camera said
Nice try butterfly
Wake up butterfly
The sun's fallen down
The wind is blowin' backwards
And it's openin' the eye of the storm
The spiders circuit
Spinnin' out on the ground
They're wishin' they were younger
There's a little bit of that in us all
Down, take it down
Take it down
There's a little bit of that in us all
Yeah, come on and bring it around
Bring me round
There's a little bit of that in us all
The masterpiece slipped through my hand
Stole a car and drove to a foreign land
The man with the camera said
He'd seen it all before, uh huh
And Opus 49's to blame
From moon illusion Buena Vista in flames
The man with the camera said
And so we ride on
The ballad of nice and easy
Young and carefree
We're coming along
The ballad of nice and easy
Young and carefree
Two of these kids grew up on the same street
And though some folks blow it, there's no smoke in their eyes
They're tying their dreams with doubled up laces
Falling, free falling, tangled up 'til they die
And so we ride on
The ballad of nice and easy
Young and carefree
We're coming along
The ballad of nice and easy
Young and carefree
'Cause everyone knows they'll get their hands dirty
Ripping at seams and smoking hot knives
But sooner or later there's an end to this candle
We'll burn it at both ends and switch on the light
So we ride on
The ballad of nice and easy
Young and carefree
We're coming along
The ballad of nice and easy
Young and carefree
And so we ride on
The ballad of nice and easy
Young and carefree
We're coming along
The ballad of nice and easy
From the bed to the car, let us stick to you now
And then move on, move on
Out of school, into home, let us swallow you whole
Or just hold on, hold on

Brand new shirt, knackered shoes, coffee made, office blues

Whiskey bottle and a .45, my dear

Whiskey bottle and a .45 satisfies, my dear
And someone's whispering into my ear
Asking softly, "What do you fear today?"
'Cause in faithless times
I know your hate
I seen your crimes
I felt your cruelty
In the bubble gum years

Wastin' time, lost my money
Found someone who'll call me honey

Go look for something much less sincere

I was always told that you had to have the balls to breakdown
Now I'm older I'm not too sure
I was once told that you had to have a high to lowdown
An expert told me back in the war
Broken hearted surgery never works
So eat your words or hide them in the dirt
Raise up the anchor baby, why do we have to get way down?
Way down

All that I want is for you to be there when I call
And after all I know you will be there, you'll be there after all
Bring on the band now set them playing away and if they stay, well embrace them

I'm just mad about my old school shirt
*the tales they are embossed
The things of all those kids and that old center school
*all those kids are last/lost
*them kids are last/lost
*they're last/lost
I'm just mad about that old radio
The tunes that it used to play
How come you ain't singing now well
Did our voices get away
Well did they get away
Get away
I'll be shooting holes in the sky to make it rain, make it the same
Shooting holes in the sky once again.
I'm just mad about all those people
Who came but did not stay
They sit so quietly my memories
Gone but not on me
Shooting holes in the sky to make it rain, make it the same
Shooting holes in the sky once again.
Shooting holes in the sky to make it rain, make it the same
Shooting holes in the sky once again.
Caught in a headlock, I wanted to be the same
Caught in a headlock, I wanted to be the same
Caught in a headlock, I wanted to be the same
Caught in a headlock, I wanted to be the same
Caught a flight, Full of drugs
Shoot straight at a view
Touching down just in time
Crawl straight into you
And before the fallen graces write
And he found the diamonds in disgiuse
I've been wastin' most of my time
But i carry on
Today (what is it?) can only improve with time
When your only a planet down
We'll go out again
And before the fall did nature's right
And we found there ain't no quick for flight
I've been wasting most of my time
And i can get along
Today (where is it?) can only improve with time
Take my time dear,
(it's all yours)
As the Earth goes round the Sun.
Life takes some fighting,
(and it leaves scars)
And it keeps us on the run.
This is a game I'm longing to play
But I stumble at the start
If there's nothing, (tear our love apart)
If this is just a lie, (tear our love apart)
There's still nowhere I would rather be
(tear our love apart)
Now hold on tight
I'm not frightened,
And you keep me safe from harm
I'm not enlightened,
(Can't reach the stars)
But I'm closer in your arms
There is a flame that flickers and sways
But it knows why we're apart
If there's nothing, (tear our love apart)
If this is just a lie, (tear our love apart)
There's still nowhere I would rather be
(tear our love apart)
If there's nothing, (tear our love apart)
No place, no time, (tear our love apart)
There's still nowhere I would rather be
(tear our love apart)
Now hold on tight
There's nothing to blame,
To get in our way
Or tear our love apart
If we're in the same place,
It won't matter where we are
If there's nothing, (tear our love apart)
If this is just a lie, (tear our love apart)
There's still nowhere I would rather be
(tear our love apart)
If there's nothing, (tear our love apart)
If there's nothing, (tear our love apart)
If there's nothing, (tear our love apart)
Day to day
Where do you want to be?
'Cos now you're trying to pick a fight
With everyone you need
You seem like a soldier
Who's lost his composure
You're wounded and playing a waiting game
In no-man's land no-one's to blame
See the world
Find an old fashioned girl
And when all's been said and done
It's the things that are given, not won
Are the things that you earned
Empty handed, surrounded by a senseless scene
With nothing of significance
Besides a shadow of a dream
You sound like an old joke
You want out, a bit broke
An' askin me time and time again
And the answer's still the same
See the world
Find an old fashioned girl
And when all's been said and done
It's the things that are given, not won
Are the things that you earned
You've got a chance to put things right
So how's it going to be?
Lay down your arms now
And put us beyond doubt
So reach out it's not too far away
Don't mess around now, don't delay
Wakin' up at nine
Looks at his paper
Can't deal with what he sees
All the troubled lives
The talk of the ages
He's crawling back to bed
Don't take a walk outside
Don't make any new friends
He's crawling back to bed
You'd better convince me man
'Cause I, I don't know what I'm doing
You'd better convince me man
'Cause I, I don't know who I'm screwing
You'd better convince me man
'Cause I, I don't know what I'm doing
You'd better convince me man
'Cause I, I don't know who I'm screwing
Callin' all his friends
He's known 'em for ages
Can't deal with what they say
Connective alibis
Cold and contagious
He's crawling back to bed
So cut off the phone lines
Stock up on water
He's crawling back to bed
You'd better convince me man
'Cause I, I don't know what I'm doing
You'd better convince me man
'Cause I, I don't know who I'm screwing

'Cause I, I don't know what I'm doing
You'd better convince me man
'Cause I, I don't know who I'm screwing
You'd better convince me man
Yessir
You'd better convince me man
Yessir
You'd better convince me man
Yessir
She had perfect eyes
That's all she had
And in the these perfect skies
Makes you glad
She has alibis
And they're not bad
And in these perfect skies
Makes you sad
Makes you sad
Makes you sad
Makes you sad
Makes you sad
She had perfect eyes
That's all she had
And in the these perfect skies
Makes you glad
We're all here on faith
The air tastes bad
Far from perfect skies
Is all you had
Is all you had
Makes you sad
Makes you sad
Makes you sad
I don't want no grace
Just a smile, just a smile
Put me in my place
With a smile, just a smile
I don't want no grace
Just a smile, just a smile
I don't want no grace
Just a smile
Make you glad
Make you glad
I stopped tryin' to write the things I don't like
And I started goin' back to where I'd been before
She said "I don't blame you I'd do the same"
Opportunity knocks knocks knocks open the door
But I think she saw through it
I see through myself
Another chance gone, won't get many more
But I'm not the only guy I know that
I'm not the only guy I know that
You never notice
The only guy I know, well I'm not the only guy I know
That you never notice
I stopped tryin' to write the things I don't like
And I started goin' back to where I'd been before
She said "I don't blame you I'd do the same"
Opportunity knocks knocks knocks open the door
But I think she saw through it
I see through myself
Another chance gone, won't get many more
But that's not the only lie I told you
That's not the only lie I told you
You never notice
The only lie I told you, that's not the only lie I told you
You never notice
The only lie I told you, that's not the only lie I told you
You never notice
I can tell you're in denial, get over it
I can tell you're in denial, get over it
I can tell you're in denial, get over it
I can tell you're in denial
Oh no, why can't you get along?
Ok I know it's not my place
I've got to say something
I've got to say something
I've got speak
She'll never leave
And you can never throw her out
Impossible to conceive
You'd rather be with than without
That's just the fear talking
That just the fear talking
That's just the fear
Don't let it take you
Like it nearly took me, fear
Don't let it fool you
Like it nearly fooled me, fear
Remember the good old days
But love is like a dragonfly
So beautiful, it will die
And disappear before your eyes
I'm no philosopher
I am no poet
I'm just trying to help you out
Don't let it fool you
Like it nearly fooled me, fear
Don't let it take you
Like it nearly took me
And so you sit and wait
For another man to take your place
And when, when he comes
Would you welcome him with open arms?
You'll feel a hundred years younger
You'll feel a hundred years younger
You'll fee no fear
Don't let it take you
Like it nearly took me, fear
Don't let it fool you
Like it nearly fooled me, fear
Don't kill you
I epitomise restraint,
But time has tempered my discretion,
I'm bound to betray myself someday,
I'm hittin the road and sayin goodbye,
I'll never walk backwards,
Let the sun get in my eyes.
Oh, don't make me laugh,
You're not fooled by the way I come over,
Don't make me laugh,
And don't make me cry,
So long goodbye.
This parted history we share,
Poorly wrapped and hardly mentioned,
I notice a little glint in your eye,
It's hard to know,
Who's telling a lie.
You'd never say never,
Wouldn't see your vanity deprived.
Oh, don't make me laugh,
You're not fooled by the way I come over,
Don't make me laugh,
And don't make me cry,
So long goodbye.
Don't make me laugh,
There is no other way I could know her,
Don't make me laugh,
And don't make me cry,
So long goodbye.
Don't make me laugh,
You're not fooled by the way I come over,
Don't make me laugh,
And don't make me cry,
So long goodbye.
Don't make me laugh,
There is no other way I could know her,
Don't make me laugh,
And don't make me cry,
So long,
So long,
So long,
Well it's been more than a year
Since I lived by the sea
And though we both have been moving
You came back to me
And I remember the old signs
We threw off the pier
They've been burning forgotten
They soon disappear.
Take one day of my lifestyle
Passing ghosts in the street
I chase them away with alcohol
But they don't get drunk
The ghosts around your city
Have all got no name
I wondered how they're flowing
I wondered why I'm glowing
I wondered how they're flowing
You can make up a list
Of the things you want
...Could be anything.
When you've crossed them all off,
And there's nothing left,
To start again.
The occasional milestone on your path,
Shows how far you've come.
But the record will show,
And it's all too much,
And not enough.
So step right up,
Everything's just fine.
I'm only here to do what's right.
If it cannot be slowed,
And it's too late to change,
Just cover up
Keep it spinning around out of control,
Til it's hard to stop
Like a moth to the flame, you can't resist
You have to get involved.
Why did you get involved?
So step right up,
Everything's just fine.
I'm only here to do what's right
Don't worry about it
Tell us what's your secret?
How come it works everytime?
You make it look so easy,
Like you don't even try.
Tell us what's your secret?
Have you got something to hide?
If giving up so easy,
Why do you even try?
And the record will show
You were falling fast,
It was all too much,
And you weren't fast enough
So step right up,
Everything's just fine.
I'm only here to do what's right
Don't worry about it
Tell us what's the secret?
How come it works everytime?
You make it look so easy,
Like you don't even try.
Tell us what's your secret?
Have you got something to hide?
If giving up so easy,
Why do you even try?
It's like you don't even try.
It's never all too much
Yeah, and not enough
It's like you don't even try.
It's never all too much
If I was inordinately different
Than what you say
I'd lie, I would lie
If you could release me now
You know that I won't hesistate
To lie, I would lie
Bring it on, make it right
Bring it out, to the light
Pick me up, satellite
If it's wrong, make it right
If I lied and told you that
You're difficult or hard to take
I'd lie, I'd still lie
If you tried to please me now
You know that I won't remonstrate
But lie, I would lie
Bring it on, make it right
Bring it out, to the light
Pick me up, satellite
If it's wrong, make it right
We like quiet nights on the island
Weave battered stars round our heads
We can reach new heights in this silence
We're dragged slowly towards the edge
Bring it on, make it right
Bring it out, to the light
Pick me up, satellite
If it's wrong, make it right
Bring it on, make it right
Bring it out, to the light
Pick me up, satellite
If it's wrong, make it right
Guess it's bye-bye, baby bye-bye
Guess it's bye-bye, baby bye-bye
If you will, devil may ride invitation makes you feel fly
If you will, devil may ride well, the invitation makes you feel fly
If you will, devil will ride well, the invitation makes you feel fly
Did you ever even try when the inspiration's set to run dry?
Well, everybody wants a good time
Yeah, and everybody wants a good time
It's a goodbye
World going mad out there
Throw away all of your treasured possessions
'Cause even the royal mail
Can't deliver us from what we've got into
Guess it's bye-bye, baby bye-bye
Guess it's bye-bye, baby bye-bye
You know it
Oh, so good I could just live for this lie
Oh, 'cause everybody wants to get by
It's too easy to like this living
Been taking it easy again
It's too easy to like this living
If you will, the devil will ride but the invitation makes you feel fly
Did you ever even try when the inspiration's set to run dry?
Did you ever even writhe when the conversation turned to a guy?
And everybody wants a good time
Yeah, and everybody wants a good time
It's a goodbye
World going mad out there
Throw away all of your treasured possessions
Not even the royal mail
Can deliver us from what we've got into
Guess it's bye-bye, baby bye-bye
Guess it's bye-bye, baby bye-bye
Devil will ride
If you will, devil will ride
If you will, devil will ride
If you will, devil will ride

Come into my palace, come and see my hollow walls
The servants crawl, it?s gonna be a blue moon risin'
Risin' one and all, one and all, some people like that
Gonna get them with your money
All that shines gets polished bald, could not enthrall
Gonna get them like a tweedledee or a tweedledum
Classiest sales pitch ain?t an equal sum, it ain?t gonna be fun
Come into my dreamworld, a simple smile, not a loaded gun
Just a shine in the sun, it?s gonna be a blue moon risin'
Risin' one and all, one and all, some people like that
Some people like that
Some people like that
Then somethin' like children in the moonlight, aah ooh

*Here comes the breeze, come on, blow me up
*Planting the seed, come on sow me up
*Feel in the feeling, making our way through the storm
*We've been deceiving, making our way through the storm

Send a little message to ya, gonna get out our heads
Send a little message to ya, gonna get out our heads
*Here comes the air, come on, blow me up
*Harness the fair, come on, grow me up
Staring at nothing 'cos I can't make out what it is
Searching for something I just don't know what it is
All we need's a little water
Send a little message to ya, gonna get out our heads
Send a little message to ya, gonna get out our heads
Come on in, come in on and lay me down
And relax cos the world will collapse with you
Turn your red light in to blue
Why do you keep running around like that
Sit back 'cos this is gonna take a while
Theres no shame in going out of style
Why do you keep running around like that
Send a little message to ya, gonna get out our heads
Send a little message to ya, gonna get out our heads
Send a little message to ya, gonna get out our heads

Hit on the head and that's just who I am
I'm gonna be your man
I'm gonna be your man
Hit on the head that made me what I said
Can't they just free
Just you and me
It was a hit on the head that made me what I said
What you waiting for?
Ain't gonna be around no more
Why don't you go or why don't you marry me?
Can't you see
Everything's gonna be
Hit on the floor and I ain't carrying on
I'm gonna be gone
I'm gonna be gone

From Step Inside
A temperamental ex stops and asks her why
But one cannot expect a true reply
Somehow love's picture hangs imperfect
And hand on heart we learn the score
The lovers and their wars
And wondering what's meant to be
For hope will spring eternal
When love's got you on your knees
Oh-oh shalalala woman
Shalalala man
Always and much more
Her body makes an "s", today they made a "c"
He sleepless needing her, he dogs her dreams
Then he wakes up on her doorstep
Then he wakes up on his floor
More drunker than before
She wouldn't open up to him
But hope will spring eternal
Through a multitude of sins
Oh-oh shalalala woman
Shalalala man
Always, always, always
But hope will spring eternal
When love's got you on your knees
Shalalala woman
Shalalala man
These 3 sins have finally found me
Lust, ambition and greed
Creepin' in the back door, they came without warning
They burned whatever they could steal
They burned whatever they could steal
So please could you go back where you came from again?
We don't want to harm ya
We don't want to harm ya
We are not your armor
We're your friends
These 3 sins have fell from their horses
And taken me and you for a ride
Deliver us from evil, let the devil disown me
The serpents and the snakes will decide
The serpents and the snakes will decide
So please could you go back where you came from again?
We don't want to harm ya
We don't want to harm ya
We are not your armor
We're your friends
So please could you go back where you came from again?
We don't want to harm ya
We don't want to harm ya
We are not your armor
I couldn't tell
The weight of the world
Was on your shoulders
Couldn't tell you were unhappy
You were unwell
I go along like nothing is wrong
No need to worry
Too late to feel sorrow
Upon borrowed time
And now there's no answers
No easy way out
Take it all if you want
Take it all if you want
If you know how to run
Sweet Virginia, you should run
If you know how to play
Sweet Virginia, you should play
If you know how to say
Sweet Virginia, you should say
If you know how to be
Be without me, you should be
You should be
I couldn't see
It seems I don't learn
Or get the message
Don't know you you carry
It all by yourself
How can it be
It doesn't belong
It's so not funny
This vintage of violence
Again on parade
And now there's no wonder
No shelter from shame
Be alone if you want
Be alone if you want
If you know how to run
Sweet Virginia, you should run
If you know how to play
Sweet Virginia, you should play
If you know how to say
Sweet Virginia, you should say
If you know how to be
Be without me, you should be
You should be
If you know how to run
Sweet Virginia, you should run
If you know how to play
Sweet Virginia, you should play
If you know how to say
Sweet Virginia, you should say
If you know how to be
Be without me, you should be
There's a place out near the Eighties
South of the border, west of the sun
And if we send out all the A-team
Silhouettes will creep out of the dark
There's a place out in the Nineties
North of the border, east of the light
We can send out all the B-team
Silhouettes will creep out every time
In a time before the Forties
North of the border, south of the sun
Well, we can send out anybody
Silhouettes will creep out of the dark
In a time after the Fifties
South of the border, east of the light
We can send out everybody
Silhouettes will creep out every time
Come all you faithful and rise
Things aren't what they might seem
With all the makeshift lies
You'll never come back clean
You'll never come out clean
Come all you faithful and rise
Things aren't what they might seem
With all the makeshift lies
You'll never come out clean
Come all you faithful and rise
Things aren't what they might seem
With all the makeshift lies
You'll never come back clean
You'll never come out
Rosalita's crawlin' round the knees
Rest my head, she's callin' to me
In my dreams, she's there for me
But open my eyes to see you there
I am fallin'
Sweetness, since you left me
It's been your flag I'm flying
But I'm sick of crying
Why did you choose to deceive me?
Was your plan just to kiss, fuck and leave me?
So, considerately just please talk to me
I won't portray myself so pitifully
My little conceit, you see
Is that I will never need you more than now
Rosalita's walkin' out on me
Close the door, she's stallin', I see
She's so sweet, but not for me
But as we sit around and laugh about
She's tryin' to call me
Darlin', though you hurt me
It's not from my lack of tryin'
You've got a fear of flyin' high
You have lost your patience
I see myself sink in your estimations
Forget the salutations just please study these tears
Your bitter words they just confirm my fears
Gonna let it fuck up all the years
Yet I will not need you more than now
Beautiful bitch, I could consider this a simple glitch
You're just a hopeless stitch in time
But then for your crimes
Please find yourself a little guilty with these lines
Got your conscience on my mind
Because I could not need you more
Oh, I could not need you more
Yeah, I could not need you more than now
You can write your tunes with rhythm and blues as your alibi
You can sell your soul and lay the blame all on the passers-by
You shake your body on the TV screen
It seems to me, you'd try anything twice
Swing it out and use it as your aphrodisiac
You can give it to me, to me, plain to see that I'll give it you back
You let it flow, let it go, there's nothing to it
Anyone can try anything twice, try anything twice
Chasing after stories that have already been told
Cannot look old Son House in the eyes
I know where you carry such a fragile load
But I've got yours and you've got mine
It's a rhythm and blues alibi
You can take a trip through your juke joint smoke-filled paradise
You can give it your all 'cause you are walking a fine, fine line, la
You shake your booty on the TV screen
Seems to me, you'd try anything twice, you'd try anything twice
Well, let me hear you now
Chasing after stories that have already been told
Cannot look old Son House in the eyes
I know where you carry such a fragile load
But I've got yours and you've got mine
You went there until you crash here
Then woken up to wonder where the night went
Keep breathin' it'll come back again
Tonight will be different, we will all be saved
My name's Jimmy, I'm an alcoholic
And I have been for 33 years or more
So kill me, I will die without it
It's like this wherever I go
So we crashed down in BB's
Keep quiet because the question is elaborate
You need a lawyer, a doctor, a drink
To keep survivin' keep me firin', oh
My name's Jimmy, I'm an alcoholic
And I have been for 33 years or more
So kill me, I will die without it
It's like this wherever I go
I don't feel like goin' out
I don't feel like goin' out
Feel like goin' out
I don't feel like goin' out
I don't feel like goin' out
Feel like goin' out
Feel like goin' out
My name's Jimmy, I'm an alcoholic
And I have been for 33 years or more
So kill me, I will die without it
It's like this wherever I go
My name's Jimmy, I'm an alcoholic
And I have been for 33 years or more
So kill me, I will die without it
It's like this wherever I go
Do you feel like goin' out?
Do you feel like goin' out?
Do you feel like goin out?
Do you feel like goin' out?
Do you feel like goin' out?
Do you feel like goin' out?

Join me in good living
And where has it been goin', mama, yeah
Start wheezing, stop breathing
And where's this powder from, mama, yeah
Go faster, go faster
Calm down
And get straight
It's not our eyes (?)
It's how we operate
You're true
You are
I'd apologize but it won't go very far
Please come here
Come right on over
And when we collide we'll see what gets left over
A little joy
A little sorrow
And a little pride so we won't have to borrow
Wherever you lead, I'll follow
Turn me inside out and upside down
And try to see things my way
Turn a new page, tear the old one out
And I'll try to see things your way
Please come here
Please come on over
There is no line that you can't step right over
Without you well I'm left hollow
So can we decide to try a little joy tomorrow
'Cos baby tonight I'll follow
Turn me inside out and upside down
And try to see things my way
Turn a new page, tear the old one out
And I'll try to see things your way
The way that we've been speaking now
I swear that we'd be friends, I swear
'Cos all these little deals go down with
Little consequences, we share, we share
Turn me inside out and upside down
And try to see things my way
Turn a new page, tear the old one out
And I'll try to see things your way
And I'm gonna love you anyway
Try to see things your way
Try to see things your way
She's a wicked girl
Worse than all the world
A mystery lies in her
She spends her days
In a violent rage
Try as I might, I love her
Everytime the tears are dry
The story goes
What's left behind
Shivers like a leaf
Tossed and turned and gentle
It's not hard to believe
The girlshapedlovedrug messes with my mind
(Don't, don't) don't ask me why
The girlshapedlovedrug messes with your mind
She likes to fight
The whole world binds her eyes
Yours truely would die for her
The growing pains
Dissolve in lemonade
The sweetness flies to her
Everytime her temper flames
The storm will blow
What's left so rare
A fragment of the girl
Soft and sentimental
The side she tries not to share
The girlshapedlovedrug messes with my head
(Don't, don't) don't ask me why
The girlshapedlovedrug messes with your mind
(Don't, don't) don't ask me why
The girlshapedlovedrug messes with my mind
When the song is sung
Don't let it call your opinion
That girl's my life
I tell you everytime
My tears run dry
The moment's long
And we design
My feelings for the girl
I could not be without her
I would still surely find
The girlshapedlovedrug messes with my head
(Don't, don't) don't ask me why
The girlshapedlovedrug messes with my mind
(Don't, don't) don't ask me why
The girlshapedlovedrug messes with your mind
(Don't, don't) don't ask me why
There was a red light coughin' up a room of blood
And there were forecast, seven inches of snow
And there were two tunes playing in my head at once
Arguing guitar and drums
There was a lover standing by her bed
With a cigarette burning in her hand
And there were moonbeams playing on her porcelain flesh
A capi ero alousca
Company cars and shoes were never meant to play the blues
You were the only fool I ever wanted to make love to
Even within my youth I denied, I wanted to
You were the only fool I ever wanted to make love to
There was a red Mayan parrot pulling chicken legs
And there were weak spots, only she could detect
And as I rolled over to block the last ray of sun
In emergency all over the show
There was a blue light, the other side of the globe
And there were four cats stretching out their claws
And there were two lovers separated by the telephone
Company cars and shoes were never meant to play the blues
You were the only fool I ever wanted to make love to
Even within my youth I denied, I wanted to
'Cause you were the only fool I ever wanted to make love to
Your flavors are getting to me
Your flavors are getting to me
Your flavors are getting to me
Your flavors are getting to me
Your flavors
Your flavors
Your flavors
Come and fight back
Need some help here
Bail us out
In up to our necks
Drenching never stops
Fish us out
There's a light there to steer it
A fear that is peeling
And soaking us up
Into a slow-motion freezer
Division is leaving
Everything stops
It's overexposure
You stop running off on me
It's overexposure
You stop running off
Come and fight back
Need some help here
Bail us out
In up to our necks
Drenching never stops
Fish us out
Did you forget what you came in for?
Still shaking the rain off
Fresh from the storm
So we saved up the good stuff
And scrapped for the life raft
Pistols at dawn
It's overexposed
And only tit and teeth remain
It's overexposed
Keep your filthy hands off
Come and fight back
Need some help here
Bail us out
Had it up to here
Drenching never stops
Fish us out
Come and fight back
Need some help here
Bail us out
In up to our necks
Drenching never stops
Fish us out
Come and fight back
Need some help here
Bail us out
Had it up to here
Drenching never stops
Fish us out
Fish us out
Fish us out
Fish us out
Fish us out
I spend a lifetime
Trying to decipher
Charley Patton Songs.
I don't know why I bother,
Even if I think it's right,
It always comes out wroung.
But I'm old enough,
Old enough to know why
You're still young enough,
Young enough to still try, still try.
I keep on pushing,
For some way through it,
Til I'm knackered out
I know how you're feeling,
Even though I've never been
That far south
But I'm old enough,
Old enough to know why
You're still young enough,
Young enough to still try, still try.
And I been lookin in New York,
I been lookin in Chicago,
I been lookin in New Orleans
I can't find you
I been lookin in Detroit,
I been lookin in Los Angeles,
I been lookin in Louisville
I cannot find you
Well I'm old enough,
Old enough to know why
You're still young enough,
Young enough to still try, you still try.
I been lookin in New York,
I been lookin in Chicago,
I been lookin in New Orleans
I can't find you
I been lookin in Detroit,
I been lookin in Los Angeles,
I been lookin in Louisville
I cannot find you
I been lookin in the Lonely States,
I been lookin in Philadelphia,
I been lookin in Memphis,
I cannot find you,
California got her right
You will have to wait
Calling from The Golden Gate
Sentimental sparrows
Keeping me awake
Funny how the morning's late
Funny how the morning's late
Come around with your heavenly smile
Come around and drag me out again
After a while we can sit and watch them all rush by
Come around and drag me out again
Come around and drag me out again
Always wanted to leave
Always felt that I'd get stopped
But I could never see myself
In anybody else's arms
In anybody else's arms
Come around with your heavenly smile
Come around and drag me out again
After a while we can sit and watch them all rush by
Come around and drag me out again
Come around and drag me out again
Always wanted to leave
Always felt that I'd get stopped
But I could never see myself
No, I could never see myself
With anybody else
If you want a piece of my life
Get in line, baby get in line
If you wanna kiss then do it fast
Get in line, baby get in line
If you wanna practice, spill the past
Get in line, baby get in line
Get in line, baby get in line
California's angel
It's more than I can stand
Calling down the sunset's pain
Sentimental star unsolved
As soon as we wake
Funny in the morning state
Funny in this morning state
If you want a piece of my life
Get in line, baby get in line
If you wanna kiss then do it fast
Get in line, baby get in line
If you wanna practice, spill the past
Get in line, baby get in line
I will smile and chuckle till the last
Get in line, baby get in line
Get in line, baby get in line
Get in line, baby get in line
Pussyfootin, pussyfootin around, it's just got me down, yeah
Pussyfootin, pussyfootin around, it's just got me down
Because I don't care what's made you frown
Just tired of my pussyfootin around
Pussyfootin, pussyfootin around, it's just got me down, yeah
Pussyfootin, pussyfootin around, it's just got me down
Because I don't care what's made you frown
Just tired of my pussyfootin around
She has gone, gone to the stratosphere
She has gone, gone far away from here
She has gone, but anyone is coming down?
Pussyfootin, pussyfootin around, it's just got me down
Because I don't care what's made you frown
Be the only one to know and be my alibi
Put on all the things you wore and wear them out
We'll collide before you know and I apologize
For shutting up and leaving slow when I'm around
I'll be right in front of you when I've got it all figured out
To be the only one who knows what to do when there ain't no doubt
And all this time will feel like seconds now
And all this time will feel like moments now
So keep the light on, watch them all rush round
And through it all keep smiling
Do whatever you may decide on
And any place or any time
Through it all you're shining
Just trying to make it right
I won't fight
blood shot eyes on factory floors
filling up little bottles
the great depressed, the o.k., the not sure,
empty out little pockets
if you stop believing let me know
and we don't even show
our feelings hide
what keeps deceiving, let it go
now we don't even know
the biggest prize, I'm not so sure anymore
blood shot types wash up on the shore
crawling out from the life boat
creeping past all border control
filling up empty promises
if you stop believing, let me know
now we don't even show
our feelings hide
don't let yourself feel alive
you're the first this has happened to
we mix together
we mix together
Mr. Jones, you've been wasted before
Rest your head on this dirty old floor
And everybody's mind turned to what they knew before
And everybody's mind turned off
She falls inbetween
Close your eyes, you'll be dreaming once more
Candlelight, things are clearer than before
Everybody's mind turned to what they knew before
Everybody's mind turned off
She falls inbetween
She falls inbetween
Maddest, maddest, maddest day
When I'm by your door, come out to play
We will dance and we will sway
We will go so far you'll want to stay
Saddest, saddest, saddest day
When I'm by your door, on winter's day
She falls inbetween
When you look to the future
Don't forget to write to me
When you last fail to wonder
Don't regret I broke the seam
'Cause the night is so serene just add kerosene
We always felt so good together
The days just rolled on by
Moon and sun, we all move on
The nights in the sand dunes
Carefree days and summer sounds
It's the way we built you
That house just won't come down
My faults, my feeble ways, my better days
We tried to hide from failure, the weather
We said we'd never fight
Moon and sun, what's done is done
Moon and sun, we all move on
Did you say someday?
Did you say you try?
Did you say you love me?
Don't ask why
? Cause we always felt so good together
But the days just rolled on by
Moon and sun, we all move on
It's 7 oh 7 pm
Won't you set me up and show me how, it's gettin' late
All these people around me wear me out, can't concentrate
? but it's all too nearly, leave us in the town
For today everybodsy's gettin down
Caught in a crossfire, nobody cares
Under the table, callin' your name
Won't you tie me up and seal my mouth with gaffer tape
Cause these people around, people all the time,
It's not the same, not the same
But you're? ... leave us in the town
Don't walk away, everybody's gettin' down, everybody's gettin' down
Caught in a crossfire and nobody cares
Under the table and callin' your name
Your champagne and perfume, I see you again, see you again
Everybody's gettin' down
Everybody's gettin' down
Everybody's gettin' down
Everybody's gettin' down
I was always told that you had to have a ball to break down;
Now I'm older, I'm not too sure.
I was once told that you had to have a high to lowdown;
An expert told me back in the war.
Open-hearted surgery never works,
So eat your words or hide 'em in the dirt;
Cause I don't need nobody to know me,
I don't want nobody to know.

Who's going to drive your car?
Who's going to drive your car?
'Cause when I'm long, long gone
Going to be gone for good
I don't want to scare you
Something's hanging over my head
Who's going to see the star?
Who's going to see the star?
'Cause when I'm long, long gone
I'm going to be gone for good
I don't want to scare you
Something's hanging over my head
Whooo
I know, I see
I know what you're talking about
When you're talking to me
I know, ain't that clear
I know what you're talking about
When you're whispering in my ear
Who's going to go the bar?
Who's going to go the bar?
'Cause now I'm long, long gone I'm going to be gone for good
I don't want to scare you
Welcome into the new wave
I, I guess it's been ten years
You gotta try to remember
The weight of the tide
You gotta try to remember
The weight of the tide
Yes, yes, yes you look wonderful
And, I, I look like I could use some rest
You gotta try to remember
The weight of the tide
You gotta try to remember
The weight of the tide
I'm on my best behavior
You wait for the drop
Wait for the drop
Cuz I gotta win, gotta win, let me win, gotta win
Gotta win, let me win, gotta win, gotta win
Let me win, gotta win, gotta win, let me win
Gotta win, gotta win, let me win, gotta win,
Gotta win, let me win, gotta win, gotta win
Let me win, gotta win, gotta win, let me win
Gotta win, gotta win, let me win, gotta win
Gotta win, let me win, gotta win, gotta win
You gotta try to remember
The way things are

It's getting better all the time
I used to get mad at my school
The teachers who taught me weren't cool
Holding me down
Turning me round
Filling me up with your rules.
I've got to admit it's getting better,
It's getting better all the time
I've got to admit it's getting better,
It's getting better since you've been mine.
Me used to be angry young man
Me hiding me head in the sand
You gave me the word
I finally heard
I'm doing the best that I can
I admit it's getting better,
It's getting better all the time
I've got to admit it's getting better,
It's getting better since you've been mine.
Getting so much better all the time
It' getting better all the time, Better Better, Better
It' getting better all the time, Better Better, Better
I used to be cruel to my woman I beat her and
kept her apart from the things that she loved
Man, i was mean, but I'm changing my scene and I'm doing the best that I can.
I admit it's getting better,
It's getting better all the time
I've got to admit it's getting better,
It's getting better since you've been mine.
The first words that came could've been more inspired
You must be hungry or tired or frozen
So put up your feet, throw some coal on the fire
And weave us a tale of delight
So we sit in our gun and we wait for our turn
We'll be waiting all of the night
So we sit in our gun and we wait for our turn
We'll be waiting all of our lives
We're all to blame
We hide away
Let's take the sand from this bottomless pit
It's hell to pay
So run away
Destroy on command all who came and then quit
It's been carefully planned by the ones you won't see
Send out the monkeys, they come out of the bushes
To piss in the punch and then smash up the decks
It's your party, we're all obliged
So we sit in our gun and we wait for our turn
I think you hurt him, there's blood on the floor
So we sit in our gun, can I ask what you're on?
If you made it there's hope for us all
We're all to blame
We hide away
Let's take the sand from this bottomless pit
There's hell to pay
So run away
Destroy on command all who came and then quit
You're all the same
So hide away
Came out flying
Around all swimming
Through former bad roads
And more old buildings
For all the latest sounds
I'm in
So where are your friends
You'll get in
Came out fighting
But round all singing songs
Sailing and failing
To find out where we belong
For all the latest sounds
I'm in
So where are your friends
You'll get in
For all the latest sounds
I'm in
There's a dog in the stew
As gratan as blues
Some creaky old muse
Whose dice are fallin
Nuweiba sand flew
So stay out of view
And tear out a pew
As Cairo Callin away
I'm not as prego as you
Caprese eel brew
As play out as twos
And losin my cruiser
Some mustard to chew
As a lebanese druse
So easy to bruise
With pedros drawing
One hit and we're down
We're callin in the hounds
Let's get out of this down
But one hit and we're down...
...I'm not as dajon as you
It's a skeleton view
Is a rotten old dude
For assibyn hues
We paintin lifestyles
With weird tattoos
As korsican tombs
I'm not as dajon as you
With wayward flugels
Blowin into town
One hit and we're down
Courtin in the hounds
One hit and we're down...
...I'm not as dajon as you
.I'm not as dajon as you
Put all the west side on the east side
A-one, two, three, what you tanglin' with me for?
Believe me, 'cause baby I won't lie
A-five, six, seven, only girls go to heaven
If you leave me, then baby I won't die
'Cause if they say that you're wrong
Don't cry, you're making it worse
And if they say that you're wrong
Don't cry
A-one, two, three, stop stranglin' me
I'll keep breathing, no matter how hard you try
A-seven, eight, nine, you'll never take me alive
You could steal me but, babe, you could not buy me
'Cause if they say that you're wrong
Don't cry, you're making it worse
And if they say that you're wrong
Don't cry
Well if they say that you're wrong
Don't cry, you're making it worse
And if they say that you're wrong
Don't cry
And if they say that you're wrong
Don't cry, you're making it worse
Do you ever stop and wonder
Where you'd be without her?
You listened, you listened, you listened
To what she said to you
The sound of sounds enlightening
The whisper, the promise, the solace
Of where you're lead to
Yeah
The sound of sounds enlightening you
The sound of sounds enlightening
Have you forgotten who you are?
(Have you forgotten who you are?)
Have you forgotten who you are?
(Have you forgotten who you are?)
Could you ever stop and wonder
Could you live without her?
The sound of sounds enlightening you
The sound of sounds enlightening
Oooh, oooh
The sound of sounds enlightening you
(The sound of sounds enlightening)
Harry's on the run, he's got good reason
Since he bought a gun, he'll never sleep again
Widow sleeps alone, she never shuts her window
Mandy knows what's fun, she just don't know what's right
Come on, step inside
Come on, step inside, don't walk on by
Step inside
Come on, step inside
Sequins on his shirt, Stevie's up for dancing
Always been a flirt, Carol steps in line
History to the bone, memory to the marrow
Old an' weary man, treads a travelled road
Come on, step inside
Come on, step inside, don't walk on by
Step inside
Come on, step inside
Standing in the sun, trolling cold Maria
A Hare Krishna drum sounds distantly in time
The blood comes off like grime, in the wash hand basin
Just another crime, reason with her
Step inside
Come on, step inside, donm't walk on by
Step inside
Come on, step inside, don't walk on by
Step inside
Close your eyes, you'll be dreaming once more
Candlelight, things are clearer than before
Everybody's mind turned to what they knew before
Everybody's mind turned off
She falls inbetween
She falls inbetween
Maddest, maddest, maddest day
When I'm by your door, come out to play
We will dance and we will sway
We will go so far you'll want to stay
Saddest, saddest, saddest day
When I'm by your door, on winter's day
She falls inbetween
There it was
Something beautiful
There it was
Something wonderful
Someone lying on my pillow
Someone knocking at my door
Here she comes
Here she comes
There it was
Something beautiful
There it was
Something wonderful
Someone lying on my pillow
Someone knocking at my door
There she was
There she was
There she was
A thousand miles
But don't turn off this road
From desert skies
Towards a strange new home
A paper bag
With everything she owns
With arms wide open
And eyes closed
Please make haste to where this
Rocket'll scrape the skies
The teeming shores
Meet your new marvel's eyes
I'll follow her
Everywhere she goes
With arms wide open
And eyes closed
Arms wide open
And eyes closed
Everywhere she goes
Everywhere she goes
Arms wide open
Everywhere she goes
Everywhere she goes
Take me away from here
Up where the air is clear
And there's nothing to do
And nothing to say
You say all men are good
Well I would be if I could
But there's nothing to see
So don't get in my way
So sit and talk some more
If you want I'll give you all
But they don't even think
They'll just take it away
Why do you bother
If you see the world that way?
Why does it matter
If you see the world that way?
Why do you bother?
Nothing left to brave
Nobody's listening
Well you gotta believe
That it's all just a game
So take me away from here
And take me away from fear
And take me away
Things ain't just the same
Why do you bother
If you see the world that way?
Why does it matter
If you see the world that way?
Why do you bother
If you see the world that way?
Why do you bother?
Got a feeling that I should be leaving
Got a notion to stay
There's a feeling that just won't turn you away
Do I turn the lights out
And dare to take a step outside
Honey, all that we've got
Is the night and the day
Why do you bother
If you see the world that way?
Why does it matter
If you see the world that way?
Why do you bother
Little piece of me you can't have
And I know that it's driving you mad
Little part inside you can't reach
I'm afraid that's the way it's gonna be
There's a part of you that wants to fight
But I never really had the appetite
I feel my feelings won't speak
Words that will be taken upon the breeze
The wind is always blowing
Pieces falling from me
You can have them for free
I've never felt so complete
Pieces falling from me
Though you try your best you ever fight
Little pieces that have left been behind
Last, last piece of the jigsaw
All the others scattered upon the floor
So you try to pick them all up
Little pieces falling in the dust
Little part of ash we don't need
So leave it to be taken upon the breeze
The wind is always blowing
Pieces falling from me
You can have them for free
I've never felt so complete
Pieces falling from me
All this background noise that has clouded never fell
It's half the reason why I left
Time to make another plan and never lie
There's a fine line what you want and what you need
Standing right there in between
Never been that kind of free, I've never lied to me
Ah, la, la, la, ah, la, la, la
Ah, la, la, la, ah, la
Pieces falling from me
You can have them for free
Never felt so complete
Never be what you need
Something missing from me
And I'll never compete
Never less than complete
Chinese symbols on his robe
Never gonna match up with that smile
He's wearing mostly black and gold
It's been twelve days
The longest for a while
He's been fortunate
He can't tell a lie
Redheads, blondes, brunettes
They all fall for his lines
He's been king now for so long
His days are numbered
Times have changed, so move along
The dream is over
Draped across Egyptian linen
Even Cleopatra casts an eye
A gossamer see-through zipped up tracksuit
Champagne bottle, ten o'clock on fire
He's been fortunate
He cannot deny
Jacuzzi baronet
With soap suds in his eyes
He's been king now for so long
His days are numbered
Times have changed, so move along
The dream is over
He's been king now for so long
His days are numbered
Times have changed, so move along
The dream is over
We've been waiting for so long
The operation's on
Moving forward
Don't know where we're going
But we're on our way
So raise the alarm
Moving forward
We don't know where we're going
We're going a long way
So move away from home
It's happening
We don't know where we're going
But we're on our way
Pack up anything you own
It's happening
We don't know where we're going
We're going a long way
If we're gonna survive
I gotta let go of you
I'm sorry that it took me so long
To open up and tell you the truth
The operation's on
Moving forward
We don't know where we're going
But we're on out way
So raise the alarm
Moving forward
We don't know where we're going
We're going a long way
If we're gonna survive
I gotta let go of you
I'm sorry that it took me so long
To open up and tell you the truth
If we're gonna survive
I gotta let go of you
I'm sorry that it took me so long
So, it's alright now
It's alright now
So settle down
I will be around
God only knows why I'm so mild
But I'm the one who'll be around
When the cat's among the pigeons and the word is getting round
I say it's alright now, it's alright now
It's alright
So, is it alright now?
It's alright now
So settle down
I won't share that frown
When the cat's among the pigeons
And the word is getting round
When the promises are broken
And the premise is unsound
I'll say it's alright now
When the secret's somehow spoken
And they're trying to steal the crown
I'll say it's alright now
It's alright now
It's alright
God only knows just where I'm bound
But I'm the one who'll stay around
When the clowns are tryin' to steal your crown
We'll return to the ocean
Ride the tide again
Test the water, jump right in
And try to swim
So ping one down
Let it sink
Sink on down
Like heavy metal
We should take off the lotion
Let the sun shine in
Admire the holes with shaded eyes
And fry again
And ping one down
Let it sink
Sink on down
Like heavy metal
Ping one down
Let it sink
Don't ponce around
Like poor old men
Colour clean
This sterile scene
Move as we please
No use in complaining
Purify now
Saints alive
We're all deprived
Be careful what you're saying
We've been on a safari
Just collecting skin
Head to toe in camouflage
But high again
So ping one down
And let it sink
Sink on down
Like heavy metal
Colour clean
This sterile scene
Move as we please
No use in complaining
Purify now
Saints alive
We're all deprived
Be careful what you're saying
Careful what you're saying
It don't matter anymore
It don't matter much anymore
'Cause it gets me down
Lets my feet touch the ground
Won't be lost, but I'm found
Do I care?
Do I fuck
I'm just bearing up
Do I care?
No, I'm high on Liquid Skin
Yeah, yeah, yeah
It don't matter anymore
It don't matter much anymore
Like the butter hits the floor
It don't matter much
Just Sod's Law
'Cause we've come this far
Give me a close, no cigar
We're the people who we are
Do we care?
Do we fuck
We're just skinning up
Do we care?
No, we're high on Liquid Skin
No, we're high on Liquid Skin
Calm down
And get straight
It's in our eyes
It's how we operate
You're true
You are
I'd apologize but it won't go very far
Please come here
Come right on over
And when we collide we'll see what gets left over
A little joy
A little sorrow
And a little pride so we won't have to borrow
Wherever you lead, I'll follow
Turn me inside out and upside down
And try to see things my way
Turn a new page, tear the old one out
And I'll try to see things your way
Please come here
Please come on over
There is no line that you can't step right over
Without you well I'm left hollow
So can we decide to try a little joy tomorrow
'Cos baby tonight I'll follow
Turn me inside out and upside down
And try to see things my way
Turn a new page, tear the old one out
And I'll try to see things your way
The way that we've been speaking now
I swear that we'd be friends, I swear
'Cos all these little deals go down with
Little consequences, we share, we share
Turn me inside out and upside down
And try to see things my way
Turn a new page, tear the old one out
And I'll try to see things your way
And I'm gonna love you anyway
Try to see things your way
Try to see things your way
Baby, put your hand, you wanna be with someone, can't afford to be
Lay your hand with me, I'm too lazy to put my hand,
I wanna be somewhere, can't afford to stay
Let me drive you away, girl, because
Lately, we're goin' through a run of bad luck
She's goin crazy, she only thinks the worst about us
I said 'Please, please, please chill out,
It ain't exactly easy for me
More than that, it's for you, lay your head, girl
Lately I put my hand, I had to do something I couldn't afford to do
But it's all I love to you, to be lazy
Put your hand, you wanna be somewhere you can't afford to stay
Let me drive you away, because
Lately, we're goin' through a run of bad luck
She's goin crazy, she only thinks the worst about us
I said 'Please, please, please chill out,
It ain't exactly easy for me
More than that, it's for you,
When I look back, how things have changed
With patience, thought and restraint
I never thought it would go
Lay your head with me
Lay your head with me
Ooh, because
Lately, we're goin' through a run of bad luck
She's goin crazy, she only thinks the worst about us
I said 'Please, please, please chill out,
It ain't exactly easy for me
Or in that case, for you,
When I look back, how things have changed
With patience, thought and restraint
I never thought it would go
Lay your head with me
Lay your head with me
Lay your head with me
Soon as we arrived
I expressed my concern
I might have known I should
Should have learned
Faded photos,
A fool at each turn
It seems to me this trip,
That we have been burned
Find me some time to find a way out of here
And I'd be inclined to walk my home
Buy me a plane and fly my way out of here
We were so blind to have come here at all
Along came insomnia
As if this week wasn't dragging on enough
One night we fled part of me up
Such a relief to leave this rotten borough
Find me some time to find a way out of here
I'd be inclined to walk my home
Buy me a plane and fly my way out of here
We were so blind to have come here at all
No way out
No way out
No way out for me and the girl
Find me some time to find a way out of here
I'd be inclined to walk my home
Buy me a plane and fly my way out of here
We were so blind to have come here at all
Find me some time to find a way out of here
I'd be inclined to walk my home
Buy me a plane and fly my way out of here
The photographs don't lie
We can't be alone
We can't be
Dangerous and sublime
Don't try this at home
Don't try this
We used to be invisible
Unlike you I like movin'
I like movin'
Used to be invinceable
Before you I liked movin'
I liked movin'
I get so nervous
Waitin' for a natural reaction and
I can't stop thinkin'
You'll explode
Leave me a nervous wreck
...a nervous wreck
The longest (?)
It keeps me afloat
It keeps me
New York City I know
Don't pick up the phone
Don't pick up
You used to be invinceable
Unlike you I like movin'
I like movin'
Used to be invinceable
Before you I liked movin'
I liked movin'
I get so nervous
Waitin' for a natural reaction and
I can't stop thinkin'
You'll explode
Leave me a nervous wreck
Oooh Oooh Oooh
I can't stop thinkin'
Oooh Oooh Oooh
I can't stop thinkin' (I can't stop thinkin')
Oooh Oooh Oooh
I can't stop thinkin' (I can't stop thinkin')
We need to be invinceable
Unlike you I like movin'
I like movin'
Used to be invinceable
Before you I liked movin'
I liked movin'
I get so nervous
Waitin' for a natural reaction and
I can't stop thinkin'
You'll explode
Never really gets it cos he's always on his own
Never really gets it because, ooh, you never loved him
Better write a letter cos he's always on the phone
Better write a letter cos, ooh, you never loved him enough
You never loved him enough
Never loved him enough
Never loved him enough
He knows that he's pathetic as he stares out the window
Not peripatetic, he doesn't move a muscle
Juggle with semantics as you're telling him real slow
He never really got it cos you never gave him enough
Never given him enough
Never given him enough
Never given him enough
There's no fun in walking wounded, he's never run
He wears a pained expression as he's takin' off your clothes
It's only an impression of how you should have loved him
Step into the gutter 'cos you find him so shallow
He was the main attraction but turned out too yellow
This wouldn't be the lyrics if this was an "A" song
You never will forget it 'cos, ooh, you never loved him enough
Girl you never loved him enough
Never loved him enough
(Love's a shame, it's cold and made of chicken bones)
Never loved him enough
Never loved him enough
(And I would give it all to see them fry)
Never loved him enough
Never loved him enough
(I'd like to say we're on our way to watch you go)
Never loved him enough
Never loved him enough
(But I would give the world to see your smile)
Doodle your name
into the palm of my hand
A name so strange
its hard to let go
I feel summer closing in
Its no secret
You've got other plans
(that don't involve me)
I'm dissapointed
though I try to understand
I understand
it is
passing notes and glances
keep your eye on the ball
but the door you can't wait to walk out
Im the only one who doesnt wanna leave
Its no secret
I know you've got other plans
(that don't involve me)
Just cause he's closer
I would walk a hundred miles
or more
If you would only
let me in
Your love... Your love
my love
you're love... you're so far away
you're love is so far
summers gone
Its no secret
I know You've got other plans
(that don't involve me)
But I'm not givin up
I know I still got a chance
when
we start over
Hello
Feel much better on hashish or efedrine
Feel much better when I'm smoking a lot
Feel much better on acid or mescaline
Feel much better though somebody's not
In their kitchens and ballrooms and boardrooms and chairs
They'd have to pop up to the ceiling for someone to get high
Everybody wants to know, everybody's singing
If you really need to know, everybody cry
Everybody wants to know, everybody's singing 'why?'
Lord try and suffer this hole, try
Feel much better on meths or on Windowlene
Feel much better when I've had my line
Feel much better on amil or Ketamine
Feel much better though somebody's not
When they're hepped up and paranoid with lithium lights They'll have to drop an ebeneezer to get a first class flight, now
Everybody wants to know, everybody's singing
If you really need to know, everybody cry
Everybody wants to know everybiody singing why
Lord try and suffer this hole try
Dah, da da dadada da da - kind of stuff
Feel much better on Night Nurse, amphetimine
Prozac is better, Viagra I got
Feel much better, Paractemol, a Codeine
Feel much better, on heat, I get hot
With Wine Gums and diesel, Pot Noodle or fries
I'd rather die from emphezima than learn to just get by, and
Everybody wants to know, everybody's singing
If you really need to know, everybody cry
Everybody wants to know everybiody singing why
You're stuck with me and I can never see it changing
Do you believe this mess is getting any better?
Will you ride it out with me?
I can't see what it is I should or shouldn't be doing
Time and time again I told you
I won't be around when your phone stops ringing
And I can't fight
The past blinds me
And I won't mess with your woman
So don't you mess around with me
I told you once or twice before but you won't listen
I tried my best but you do not seem to be hearing
I'm not surprised that we all keep telling lies
So let's just fight - I am resigned
Time and time again I told you
I won't be around when your phone stops ringing
And I can't fight
The past blinds me
And I won't mess with your woman
So don't you mess around with me
And I can't fight
The past blinds me
And I won't mess with your woman
So don't you mess around with me
And I can't fight
The past blinds me
And I won't mess with your woman
So don't you mess around with me
And I can't fight
The past blinds me
And I won't mess with your woman
So don't you mess around with me
And I can't fight (Will you ride it out?)
The past blinds me (Will you ride it out?)
And I won't mess with your woman (Will you ride it out?)
So don't you mess around with me (Will you ride it out?)
And I... (Will you ride it out?)
And I... (Will you ride it out?)
And I... (Will you ride it out?)
And I... (Will you ride it out?)
And I... (Will you ride it out?)
And I... (Will you ride it out?)
All the angels on the wire
Getting dizzy from the heights
Go carefully, carefully
Oh, airstream driver
She shoots but never misses
Stare down, passin' traffic
Go carefully, carefully
Oh, airstream driver
I would return the favour
Oversleep the rapture
Go carefully, carefully
Oh, airstream driver
Your watermelon candy mouth
The penthouse at the sands
Go carefully, carefully
Oh, airstream driver
There came a sound concocted by demons
A sound like metal and blood
She's strangling cats with horses up there
I've had enough, it's time to die
Do you think she's run out of resin
Has she even heard of the stuff
If I knew where to buy it I would, but I don't
Like it or not, you're not leaving alive
So save your breath for when you die
Save your time for me
There's never been a time for you
I'd like to blame Vivaldi
The blame is made out of dust
And when the dust blows backwards it smokes and it stacks
Say what you want, it's time to die
Why don't you call up all the firsts and seconds
There'll be a swinging performance tonight
I can explain it all when the cops come around
Tomorrow night, you're not leaving alive
So save your breath for when you die
Hello, hello, I'm glad to see you
Now we'll only stop to say goodbye
We'll go, we'll go just where we want to
We won't let the others bleed us dry
'Cause I am but a fool for you, that's right
And I got nothing to lose that I'd choose tonight
Come on, come on we should be leaving
But I let another one go by
Oh no, oh no, I couldn't leave you
Though I know they'd like to make me try
'Cause I shot down the moon for you, that's right
'Cause I got something to prove to you tonight
I will always wait for you to catch me up, yeah
I will always wait for you to catch me up, yeah
I will always wait for you to catch me up, yeah
I will always wait for you to catch me up
You know, you know I want to please you
And now's the time to let me try
Will you, will you do as I do?
Will you wait for me to stew or die?
'Cause I don't ever wanna see you cry
Yeah, I will never leave you high and dry
I, yeah, I...
I will always wait for you to catch me up, yeah
I will always wait for you to catch me up, yeah
I will always wait for you to catch me up, yeah
I will always wait for you to catch me up, yeah
I will always wait for you to catch me up, yeah
I will always wait for you to catch me up, yeah
I will always wait for you to catch me up, yeah
I will always wait for you to catch me up, yeah
I will always wait for you to catch me
I will always wait for you to catch me
I will always wait for you to catch me
We're nowhere in particular
We're nowhere, nowhere at all
So fill my cup, make me happen
Fill it up, make me smile
Fill my cup, give me a reason
A reason to feel alright
Don't you worry, sweet darling
It's gonna be alright
It seems that I've been sleeping
Been sleeping all my life
Been sleeping all my life
Been sleeping all my life
I sleep alone
On my very own
Sitting sick at home
Baby, up, make me happen
Wake me up, make it right
Weigh me up, give me the reason
The reason to feel alright
Don't you worry, sweet darling
It's gonna be alright
It seems that I've been sleeping
Been sleeping all my life
Been sleeping all my life
Picking up girls who have diseases
That burn me up, burn me up
Been sleeping all my life
Fill my cup, make me happen
Red old eyes, now where you from
you catch me every day
colours hide not even song
it's all been washed away
Sun stop going down
come out again
stop fading out
awake again
Sun stop going down
stop going down
Blues old face, you finally come around
and talking in your sleep
buried secrets and fiery showdowns
lost days inbetween
It's all the same
let it go before it gets too late
don't play our game
Sun stop going down
come out again
stop fading out
awake again
Sun stop going down
stop going down
Sun is going down
come out again
don't feel so proud
get straight again
Sun stop going down
stop going down
It's all the same
let it go before it gets too late
don't play our game
Sun stop going down
come out again
stop fading out
awake again
Sun stop going down
stop going down
Sun is going down
come out again
don't feel so proud
get straight again
Sun stop going down
stop going down
Sun stop going down
come out again
stop fading out
awake again
Sun stop going down
stop going down
Sun is going down
come out again
don't feel so proud
get straight again
Sun stop going down
Feed fear
You sit and watch it grow
Are you afraid of being alone?
Eyes a cold sweat
And shivers to your bones
Don't let a rotten seed be sowed
All the world would like to play with you
You hide inside yourself the whole day through
You know it's true
Your outside, so full of hollow fear
In truth it's oh-so fresh and clear
Oh darling, you can leave the lies
But now you must realise
All the world would like to play with you
You hide inside yourself the whole day through
So brave the world outside your windowsill
You know you will
And if your life was on the line
Tell me, tell me how would you feel?
If your life was on the line
Tell me, would there be nothing left to feel?
Tell me, there is nothing left to...
All the world would like to play with you
You hide inside yourself the whole day through
Take me down to where you hide
Lay me down, lay me down inside
What use now? Roll back this Pacific Tide
Tijuana lady, where did you go?
Yeah, I been chasing you around all Mejico
I'm gonna find my way back to San Diego
Baby, where'd you hide?
Take me down to where you hide
Play me around, lay me at your side
Don't delay your smile, 'cause I know you lie
Tijuana lady, let's take it slow
Yeah, well I, I know that I'm no head honcho
Yeah, but I'll, I'll keep you warm in my silky poncho
Where'd you hide?
Where'd you hide?
Tijuana lady, where did you go?
Yeah, well I, I heard you lost your last sombrero
Tijuana lady, which way'd you flow?
El mariachi, desperado
Where'd you hide?
Tell me, where'd you hide?
Enchilada, desperado day
Senorita, come back and meet me again
Upon the vista, senorita, hey
They're whisperin', they don't want us to hear
They lower their eyes everytime you come near
These people are stranger
Don't you ever stop
While they change you
The crimes are numerous but they seem distant and vague
Guns that turn to rust feel the...(?)
Not everything changes
And from the bottom to the top
Your still a stranger
Lost myself tryin' to track you down
Though you'll never be found
The circle closes in around and around
I know you leave tonight under cover of dark
Across the old town and escape through the park
I may have built this fire but you provided the spark
You've provided the spark
Lost myself tryin' to track you down
Though you'll never be found
The circle closes in around and around
Lost myself tryin' to track you down
Though you cannot be found
We came, we came, we came again
To stem the tide and point the blame
Came back for more
Came back to see what you had in store
Everyone join the line, everyone
Yeah
So you want to spin the world around?
So you want to spin the world around
And anybody else, cut 'em down?
So you want to make catastrophe?
Won't you send it right over to me?
I got some time
Everybody running high
The same, the same, the same again
To steal the time and haunt the graves
Just because it's there
Don't mean you see it anywhere
Maybe it's a trick of the light
Maybe, yeah
So you want to spin the world around?
So you want to spin the world around
And anybody else, cut 'em down?
So you want to make catastrophe?
Don't you send it right over to me
I got some time
Everybody come alive
Yeah
So you want to spin the world around?
So you want to spin the world around
And anybody else, bring 'em down?
So you want to make catastrophe?
Don't you send it right over to me
I got some time
Everybody running high
So you want to spin the world around?
So you want to spin the world around
And anybody else, cut 'em down?
So you say we haven't turned around?
So you say we haven't turned around?
Just everybody else is going wrong
