I left home three years ago today
For the land of opportunity, at least that’s what they say
And you’d think a country built by immigrants would understand
To give a better life and future to his family
A man would do most anything
All this time thinking of Mexico
Things are starting to make sense
And I’m thinking maybe I’ll go back again
Then we can build a fence
Seven days of work to send home what little pay I make
Where I’m from they still take care of each other in their time of need
Here we are illegal, most pretend we don’t exist
We are only hands to work, with no voice or face
Please tell the kids…
All this time thinking of Mexico
Things are starting to make sense
And I’m thinking maybe I’ll go back again
Then we can build a fence
Enclosed with this page, you’ll find what I’ve saved
I’m doing my best to sleep when I can
Don’t worry about me
This place just ain’t what it seems
But now I see
All this time thinking of Mexico
Things are starting to make sense
And I’m thinking maybe I’ll go back again

In the cracks, in the cracks is where you'll go
I'll find you in the dark with a head full of snow
And downtown with the big dark eyes
You opened up your heart to a big black sky
Black sky
You'll be my friend, right to the end
Take it down hard over the highs
And just like before, you'll come through the door
And take it and take it
Come and take it some more
I never meant to hurt ya
I only wanna love ya
I only want to love you
Only wanna love ya
Love ya
I want some cocaine and dirty water
Take it down in the dark tonight
I want some cocaine and dirty water
I'm gonna scream in the dark tonight
I never meant to hurt ya
I only wanna love ya
I only want to love you
Only wanna love ya
I never meant to hurt ya
I only wanna love ya
I only wanna love ya
Only wanna love ya
Walking through the city at night
You take a left and I take a right
Walking in the city at ni-i-ight

You were right
I was wrong from the beginning
Wrong from the very first night
When you said
We could stay here forever
And never ever, ever forget
So we took our love to the sea that night
So see if it could ever swim back
It did and it did
Four hundred thousand times
Over again
I only wanted to play a part
I wanted to be someone
Who could make it and make it with you
Again and again
Well go on, go on
You can have your way
I'll love you till the day that I die
You could have this life
And a cup of tea
And take it to bed right now
In a dim lit bar on my side of town
I'll picture in a green dress
The one that makes me feel alive
Over and over and over again
I only wanted to play a part
I wanted to be someone
Who could make it and make it with you
Again and again
Only wanted to play a part
I wanted to be someone
Who could make it and make it with you
Again and again
Wanted to play the part
Wanted to be someone
With you
I only wanted to play a part
I wanted to be someone
Who could make it and make it with you

She comes to find me way too soon
And leaves me leaves me way too fast
For my heart, to be anywhere but with the moon
You know its cold out there and it's dark
Yeah, keep playing a part
In this thing till the end
All good things have an end, oh they do...
And i wished upon a shooting star
And thought about the spaces between
Two hearts that can never ever let go
and i used to watch the way she moved
the way she crossed the park at night
to buy some milk
after staying in bed all day
in the spaces between
in the spaces between
takes so long just to kinda believe
in the scars that we've got
in the spaces between
takes so long just to kinda believe
in the scars that we've got
in the spaces between
i truly love you do yeaah

I kinda wanna know that you're down on your luck
Just the way I was when I needed to run, run
You kill a piece of me every time the phone rings
And it ain't your voice d-d-d-down the end of the line
Turn off the light, turn on the dark
We're standing underneath the satellites and the stars
The undergrounds, the underworlds
Full of pretty boys and those fucked up girls
Get out, give in
Just take out what you want
Just take out what you need
Get out, give in
Get out, give in
Just take out what you want
Just take out what you need
Get out, get out, give in
Intro to life, exit to death
Two more bars and we're all out of breath
You killed us all, us under the sun
But the moon saw you and the g-gun
And the gun, and the gun, and the gun, and the gun
The gun, and the gun, and the gun
Get out, give in
Just take out what you want
Just take out what you need
Get out, give in
Get out, give in
Just take out what you want
Just take out what you need
Get out, get out, give in
And the city it burns, the city it burns, burns, burns
And the city it burns, the city it burns, burns, burns
And I still get my sleep but I still keep freaking out
Oh yes I do
And I still get my sleep but I still keep freaking out
Oh yeah I do
And the city it burns, the city it burns, burns, burns
And the city it burns, the city it burns, burns, burns
And I still get my sleep but I still keep freaking out
Oh yes I do
And I still get my sleep but I still keep freaking out
I kinda wanna know that you're down on your luck

I'm a deadman on the wings of desire
I know I'm alive, and I'm not a liar
Poetic expressions in her face
I'm feeling so romantic here in this place
I could make a film about the love that I feel
I could make a move about the films that I love
Buh buh buh buh buh buh bow
Buh buh buh buh buh buh bow
I watch you wake up and break into stride
I see you jump the fence in the middle of the night
I reach for the light, the photograph
Just to know where I am
Where I am, where I am
Where I am, where I am
Where I am, where I am
Where I am
I take your hand and walk some miles
Songs on radios with hello and goodbyes
The speeches that we make
To stop us feeling afraid
Afraid
I could go to France and I could be
Hanging with superheroes, hanging with superheroes
Don't you wanna be just like me
I know you wanna be just like me
I watch you wake up and break into stride
I see you jump the fence in the middle of the night
I reach for the light, the photograph
To know where I am
I watch you wake up and break into stride
I see you jump the fence in the middle of the night
I reach for the light, the photograph

Oh you were there
When I came to
There was nothing you could say
Nothing you could do
Well I held in my hand, desire
It was all of you, all fire
Oh big black eyes
On a green hill
Won't you come down here
And hang around still
Come swim with me
In the sea of love
Where the fiends and hounds
Won't ever get to us
We'll take a deep breath
And go below
Where the ocean has left
Words on a boat, words on a boat
Well I held in my hand, desire

Yeah it's true,
I've been in love with the ghost of a girl
She comes to me
In the middle of the night, in my sleep
In my room,
Where time stands still
I watch her dance in the night
But soon the dawn will come then I'll wake up
She'll be gone with the light
Only wanted to give it time
Time is on our side
When you move the way you do
It breaks down all of the walls
I've built up through the years
I've built up to survive
The times like these
In the middle of the night
Wake up, wake up
Here's the day
Clean out your heart
And say what you want to say
A dreams a dream
Leave it at that
You know in the night she'll be coming back
She'll take my hand for a road into the city
A road into the city
She'll take my hand and we'll fly away
Fly away
Only wanted to give it time
Time is on our side
When you move the way you do
It breaks down all of the walls
I've built up through the years
I've built up to survive
The times like these
In the middle of the night
We come here nightly
To talk about it quietly
Speak about it all of the time
Yeah the words,
They roll out of your mouth so easily
I don't even know the next line
Only wanted to give it time
Time is on our side
When you move the way you do
It breaks down all of the walls
I've built up through the years
I've built up to survive
The times like these

Run, run, run, run far away
There's someone coming over the hill someday
He doesn't know your name
But he knows just what you've done
So I've thought all about the end of us
The divide that would come to break out love
Through bullet holes everything is clear
I call your name
When I sleep I'm seeing your face
Cos I gotta get home tonight
I gotta get home tonight
If it's the last thing I ever do in my life
I've gotta get home tonight
Illumination of the heart
On the battlefield, in the dark
The radio waves, they speak over you
Time after time, over again
The boys on the front line, they turn into men
I pray that I'm gonna get get get out of here alive
I call your name
When I sleep I'm seeing your face
Cos I gotta get home tonight
I gotta get home tonight
If it's the last thing I ever do in my life
I've gotta get home tonight
Cos I gotta get home tonight
I gotta get home tonight
If it's the last thing I ever do in my life
I've gotta get home tonight

Call me a thief
Of your heart
Call me anything
That you want
I'm over the sentiment
That was here
In this body of mine
Years ago
So give us the pieces
Give us the part
Put it together
Make a new start
Come out of the corners
Out of the dark
Light up a new one
Light up a new spark
And I could be happy
If I had a friend
Who loved all of me
All the way to the end
All the way from A to Z
When you're down and out
As low as you can be
Let's go out tonight
Put on something black
Go out for drinks
Take it all back
We'll take it real slow
We'll do it with care
When you're rebuildling lives
You gotta start somewhere
Like a blackbird singing
Around your head tonight
When you're out late
And you're walking around
Corners keeping you tight
And passengers sleeping
High above your head
On the aeroplane's journey
To the moon and back again
You play it so cool
But something's withheld
When you're riding with me
You got nothing to tell
Can see it in your eyes
See it in your sweat
On the count of three
You can let go of it
And sometimes I sleep
Through it all
Sometimes I break
Through the wall
Then I wake up
Tt starts again
The evil inside of my head
Like a blackbird singing
Around your head tonight
When you're out late
And you're walking around
Corners keeping you tight
And the passengers sleeping
High above your head
On the aeroplane's journey
To the moon, to the moon and back again
Like a blackbird, oh like a blackbird
Oh like a blackbird,

Save my heart
For all of time
If you're going to open up
Well, come and pay the price
And take this love
Take it to the streets
Burn down everything
Till you see it all complete
My body, it moves
Like a shooting star
My body, it moves
Like a shooting star
Underneath the stars
They were fading into life
Love was full of slaughter
We moved out of the night
My body, it moves
Like a shooting star
My body, it moves
Like a shooting star
My body, it moves
Like a shooting star
My body, it moves
Like a shooting star

I found a photograph that I took
Around this time last year
All the colors they stayed true
Around your lips and hair
We had a chance to go anywhere we want
Anywhere we want, anywhere we want
And we did all that we could till the end
The end is the end, oh
I could go crazy on you
On you, on you, on you
I could go crazy on you
On you, on you, on you
We had spies in the canyons
Spies all around
We had to take our love into places
Where we knew it wouldn't be found
As the electrons they collide
They come at us from all sides
Just to give us a chance to go anywhere we want
Anywhere we want, anywhere we want
I could go crazy on you
On you, on you, on you
I could go crazy on you
On you, on you, on you, on you
I'm happy just to be
A drop of red in the deep blue sea
And they can say that I am lost
But I always add up when I try to plus
And the time gets ticking, ticking away
So many things I got to do and say
Like be by your side, tried and true
With all of those secrets inside of you
I could go crazy on you
On you, on you, on you
I could go crazy on you
On you, on you, on you, on you
I could go crazy on you
Crazy all over you
I could go crazy on you
Crazy all over you
If you push me too far
That's what I'm gonna do
I could go crazy on you
Crazy all over you
I could go crazy on you
On you, on you, on you, on you
I could go crazy on you
On you, on you, on you, on you
I could go crazy on you
On you, on you, on you, on you
I could go crazy on you
On you, on you, on you, on you
I could go crazy on you
On you, on you, on you, on you
I could go crazy on you
On you, on you, on you, on you

I had love in a backyard
I went out one day and took it apart
Like my dad used to do on a sunny afternoon
Break something old to build something new
And I woke up at the start of the day
To 24 hours that were mine to fake
And you can break it for so long
When you're a boy on the run
Never doing nothing wrong
I had love in a backyard
I went out one day and took it apart
Like my dad used to do on a sunny afternoon
Break something old to build something new
And I woke up at the start of the day
To 24 hours that were mine to break
And you can fake it for so long
When you're a boy on the run
Not doing nothing wrong
Are you awake? Are you alive?
Are you awake? Are you alive?
You looked dead to me when I looked in your eyes
You looked dead to me when I looked in your eyes
Are you awake? Are you alive?
Are you awake? Are you alive?
You looked dead to me when I looked in your eyes

ceremony gunsringin' 'round the parlaiment
ricocheting through the alleyways
and crackin' the cement
when I gaze above the rooftops
I see my own setting sun
I step outside
and I can't hold on
rumbles in the underground
shake the gardens at my feet
as I stumble past the church downtown
the cascading balconies
and the sounds outside my window
collapse the walls inside my mind
and I'm lost in this riot
in this riot deep inside

I had love
In a backyard
I went out one day
And took it apart
Like my dad used to do
On a sunny afternoon
Break something old
To build something new
And I woke up
At the start of the day
To 24 hours that were mine to fake
And you can break it for so long
When you're a boy on the run
Never doing nothing wrong
I had love
In a backyard
I went out one day
And took it apart
Like my dad used to do
On a sunny afternoon
Break something old
To build something new
And I woke up
At the start of the day
To 24 hours that were mine to break
And you can fake it for so long
When you're a boy on the run
Not doing nothing wrong
Are you awake?
Are you alive?
Are you awake?
Are you alive?
You looked dead to me when I looked in your eyes
You looked dead to me when I looked in your eyes
Are you awake?
Are you alive?
Are you awake?
Are you alive?
You looked dead to me when I looked in your eyes
Are you awake?

Time ticks, ticks away
Over bright lights and machines we've made
A beautiful face in a bar
Is one raindrop in a million others
You'll never know of the night sky
The way I have for all of time
It sings to me a lullaby
The day can't bring, even though it tries
It hurts a little, it cuts a little
It takes you right down to the bone
I see the love, I see it in all of you
In the night, I can breathe again
On this night, I found my one and only friend
This feeling inside counts for more than anything
In the night, I can breathe again
I was downtown, all alone at three
I kept on crawling 'cause I had to flee
Hunters and fighters, lovers and thieves
We all moved together under one belief
I sat down and watched the bullets fly
Across my heart on the loneliest night
I went to the end of the earth
Just to find out where it really hurts
It hurts a little, it cuts a little
It takes you right down to the bone
I see the love, I see it in all of you
In the night, I can breathe again
On this night, I found my one and only friend
This feeling inside counts for more than anything
In the night, I can breathe again
Don't tell anyone 'cause I trust you
Don't tell anyone 'cause I trust you
Don't tell anyone 'cause I trust you
'Cause I trust you
In the night, I can breathe again
On this night, I found my one and only friend
This feeling inside counts for more than anything

In the cracks, in the cracks is where you'll go
I'll find you in the dark with a head full of snow
And downtown with the big dark eyes
You opened up your heart to a big black sky, black sky
You'll be my friend right to the end
Take it down hard over the highs
And just like before you'll come through the door
And take it, and take it, come and take it some more
I never meant to hurt ya
I only wanna love ya
I only want to love you
Only wanna love ya, love ya
I want some cocaine and dirty water
Take it down in the dark tonight
I want some cocaine and dirty water
I'm gonna scream in the dark tonight
I never meant to hurt ya
I only wanna love ya
I only want to love you
Only wanna love ya
I never meant to hurt ya
I only wanna love ya
I only wanna love ya
Only wanna love ya
Walking through the city at night
You take a left and I take a right
Walking in the city at night
Walking through the city at night
