Look up, look up
You'll see the sky
Look up, look up
He's the life
Waiting to love you
Wanting to reach you
Look up, look up
You'll see the sky
The man walking down the street
Keeps his head down low
Doesn't look up
Wants to give up
He just keeps on looking down,
Staring at the ground
Standing here at the corner
I'm watching him walk away
Standing here and I don't know why
But I'm thinking it could be a great day
Look up, look up
You'll see the sky
Oh I wish you knew him
He's been waiting for so long
If you look up you'll see him
You know we're all alone
Look up, look up
You'll see the sky
Look up, look up
He's the life
Waiting to love you
Wanting to reach you
Look up, look up
Had a fight at the table
I didn't think it would end
I Didn't think I'd be able
To go on and pretend
I been having a good time
I didn't want you to go
She said ??????????
Gotta leave her alone
I started dreaming 'bout Emma
And he said, "Don't interfere"
Said "What'cha doin' in Denver?
There no light in here"
Well, I been having a good time
I didn't want you to go
Why can't they stop all this jiving?
You don't want to know
It must be getting past midnight
And now I'm staring to scream
She really put up a good fight
I think this must be a dream
???? having a good time
Babe, I'm lost in the rain
I told them just when I'm going
I'm off the street
I'm all alone
I just can't think
What I've been doing wrong
I know you're mine
He treats you nice
It's suicide
I know, I tried it twice
You should've given your love to Jesus
It couldn't do you no harm
Should've given your love to Jesus
It wouldn't do you no harm
You've been sitting on your ass
Trying to find some grace
But you better save yourself
If you wanna see his face
I guess there are things
You'd like to know
It's getting late
And I know you want to go
You should've given your love to Jesus
It couldn't do you no harm
Should've given your love to Jesus
It wouldn't do you no harm
You've been sitting on your ass
Trying to find some grace
But you better save yourself
If you wanna see his face
I'm off the street
I'm all alone
I just can't think
They say my love for you ain't real
But you don't know how real it feels
All I want to do
Is to spend some time with you
So I can hold you, hold you
Your sister says that I'm no good
I'd reassure her if I could
All I want to do
Is to spend some time with you
So I can hold you, hold you
Plans fail every day
I want to hear you say
Your love won't be leaving (Run Run, Run Run)
Your eyes ain't deceiving (Run Run, Run Run)
Fears will soon fade away
Smile now, don't be afraid
All I want to do
Is to spend some time with you
So I can hold you, hold you
And let me whisper in your ear
Don't you worry, they can't hear
All I want to do
Is to spend some time with you
When I look though your eyes
I tend to get bitter
Maybe I'm best advised
To look to myself
I fall every time
Though I know she lies
I can't stay away
Stars would fall from the sky
And I won't forsake you
You've got lust in your heart
What's sad to me
I'll use every line
Anything to make you mine
Keeping me in the dark
Wondering where you are
Don't let me fall apart
You said take it slow
But I don't know
I don't know
Lying awake in the bed trying to
Cope with the feelings
I'm don't know if it's love
But what can I do
I fall every time
Though I know she lies
There was a light
So dear to me
I wanted to live
There was a time
So near to me
I asked you to give your life to me
If it's a sign
Sent down to me
I'm asking you why
It had to be
Spending all my time
Waiting to die
What's the use
There was a light
So dear to me
I wanted to live
There was a time
So dear to me
I remember the first time
You said you loved me
I waited all weekend
You never called me
So you find him attractive
So what if he is
You'd like some excitement
You could count his same kiss
So it goes
On and on
My love grows
And yours is gone
A lonely existence
Well it's just a lie
If there is a reason
I'd like to know why
Something I want you to know
I've told you this once before
Don't want you to see him no more
Once again
You've let me down
Broke my heart
And turned me round
There's a light in the darkness
It doesn't seem far
Is something the matter
??? ajar
The plane goes down
Will not land
Pilot's dead
You hurt me yesterday
I didn't know what to say
You didn't have to be so mean
You didn't have to make a scene
You don't have to be so cruel
You made me feel like a fool
I heard some things about you
They said you was untrue
I told them, then why is it so?
You hurt me yesterday
I didn't know what to say
You didn't have to be so mean
You didn't have to make a scene
You don't have to act so cool
I know that you've been to school
I started to feel unloved
I had no place to go
I turned on the radio
You hurt me yesterday
I didn't know what to say
You didn't have to be so mean
You didn't have to make a scene
Don't have to be so cruel
Made me feel like a fool
I heard some things about you
They said you was untrue
Look up, look up
You'll see the sky
Look up, look up
He's the life
Waiting to love you
Wanting to reach you
Look up, look up
You'll see the sky
The man walking down the street
Keeps his head down low
Doesn't look up
Wants to give up
He just keeps on looking down,
Staring at the ground
Standing here at the corner
I'm watching him walk away
Standing here and I don't know why
But I'm thinking it could be a great day
Look up, look up
You'll see the sky
Oh I wish you knew him
He's been waiting for so long
If you look up you'll see him
You know we're all alone
Look up, look up
You'll see the sky
Look up, look up
He's the life
Waiting to love you
Wanting to reach you
Look up, look up
I got kinda lost
I got kinda lost
I got kinda lost in giving
I got kinda lost
And what can I say
Feeling the way I do
I'm trying to get it across to you
Only wanted to be together
All the time that it was I saw her
Things that I'd done before are gone
I can't believe I'm on my own
Once in a while
And I see you smile
But you don't know how it's going
I'm trying to get it across to you
Only wanted to be together
All the time that it was I saw her
Things that I'd done before are gone
I can't believe I'm on my own
I got kinda lost
I got kinda lost
I got kinda lost in giving
Whatever it is you're thinking
Sit down and let's give it a try
You know that I'll always listen
But sometimes I'm wondering why
You don't lie to me
And I wouldn't lie to you, oh no
Baby I'm feeling lost
I don't know what I'm going to do
You don't know what you're putting me through
I gotta get away from you
Once in a while you're lonely
Tell me if needed a friend
I'm wondering what is the matter
But you say that you can't explain
But you don't lie to me
And I wouldn't lie to you, oh no
But baby I'm feeling lost
I don't know what I'm going through
You don't know what you're putting me through
I gotta get away from you
Do you want me
I want you
You don't want me,
I want you
Don't you know I'm losing sleep at night
Sleep at night
I don't know what I'm going to do
You don't know what you're putting me through
I gotta get away from you
Whatever it is you're thinking
Sit down and let's give it a try
You know that I'll always listen
But sometimes I'm wondering why
You don't lie to me
And I wouldn't lie to you, oh no
But baby I'm feeling lost
I don't know what I'm going to do
You don't know what you're putting me through
Every night I tell myself,
"I am the cosmos,
I am the wind"
But that don't get you back again
Just when I was starting to feel okay
You're on the phone
I never wanna be alone
Never wanna be alone
I hate to have to take you home
Wanted too much to say no, no,
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Never wanna be alone
I hate to have to take you home
Want you too much to say no, no
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
My feeling's always happening
Something I couldn't hide
I can't confide
Don't know what's going on inside
So every night I tell myself
"I am the cosmos,
I am the wind"
But that don't get you back again
I'd really like to see you again
I really wanna see you again
I'd really like to see you again
I really wanna see you again
I'd really like to see you again
I really wanna see you again
I never wanna see you again
I know what it is you're thinking
But baby, it's sacred to me
Whenever I feel like I'm sinking
You make a beautiful scene
You don't lie to me
And I wouldn't lie to you, oh no
Baby, I'm feeling low
Don't know what I'm going to do
Don't know what you're putting me through
Once in a while you're lonely
If you feel lonely, cry
I'd love to know what is the matter
Unless you're with some other guy
'Cause you don't lie to me
And I wouldn't lie to you, oh no
Baby I'm feeling low
Don't know what I'm going to do
You don't know what you're putting me through
Do you ???? me,
I want you
Do you ???? me,
I want you too
Don't you know I'm losing sleep at night
Sleep at night
Don't know what I'm going to do
Don't know what you're putting me through
I know what it is you're thinking
But baby, it's strange to me
Whenever I feel like I'm sinking
You make a beautiful scene
Don't lie to me
And I wouldn't lie to you, oh no
And baby I'm feeling low
Don't know what I'm going to do
There you go and baby here am I
Well you left me here so I could sit and cry
Golly gee what have you done to me
Well I guess it doesn't matter anymore
Do you remember baby last September
How you held me tight each and every night
Oh baby how you drove me crazy
But I guess it doesn't matter any more
There's no use in me a-cryin'
I've done everything
And now I'm sick of trying
I've thrown away my nights
Wasted all my days over you
Now you go your way baby and I'll go mine
Now and forever 'till the end of time
And I'll find somebody new and baby
We'll say we're through
And you won't matter any more
There's no use in me a-cryin'
I've done everything
And now I'm sick of trying
I've thrown away my nights
Wasted all my days over you
Now you go your way baby and I'll go mine
Now and forever 'till the end of time
And I'll find somebody new and baby
We'll say we're through
On a dark and misty morning
Despite several warnings
I lay with a banshee
In the house of horror
The DJs were calling
I ignored their voices
I found a candle
And burned the house down
The wind played a requiem
In the silent chamber, haunting
The road to oblivion
Begins outside my doorway
If it is as one supposes
That we don’t live forever
Then there are no terrors
Waiting on the other side
If hell is my own invention
And heaven an illusion
The like the first angel
I have surely fallen
The wind played a requiem
In the silent chamber, haunting
The road to oblivion
Begins outside my doorway
In a gothic misadventure
I dined with the devil
His mistress was serving
And I was enjoying
But some things are best left
Smouldering and silent
I found a candle
