William Sanford "Bill" Nye (born November 27, 1955), popularly known as Bill Nye the Science Guy, is an American science educator, comedian, television host, actor, mechanical engineer, and scientist. He is best known as the host of the Disney/PBS children's science show Bill Nye the Science Guy (1993–1998) and for his many subsequent appearances in popular media as a science educator.
William Sanford Nye was born in Washington, D.C., the son of Jacqueline (née Jenkins; c. 1920–2000), a codebreaker during World War II, and Edwin Darby "Ned" Nye (died 1997), also a World War II veteran whose experience in a Japanese prisoner of war camp led him to become a sundial enthusiast. Nye is a fourth-generation Washington, D.C. resident on his father's side of the family. After attending Lafayette Elementary and Alice Deal Junior High in the city, he was accepted to the private Sidwell Friends School on a partial scholarship, graduating in 1973. He studied mechanical engineering at Cornell University, where one of his professors was Carl Sagan, and graduated with a Bachelor of Science in 1977. He was awarded an honorary doctorate by The Johns Hopkins University in May 2008. In May 2011, Nye was awarded an Honorary Doctor of Science degree from Willamette University where he was the keynote speaker for that year's commencement exercises.
2000 LIGHT-YEARS OF DARKNESS
Tell me can my eyes betray me?
Do they say how happy i feel
When no one takes the seat beside me
On the bus and make a fuss?
- Then im easy
To go away, take a train, go astray
- Disappear into the unknown
To a place where your always
All alone
Take a look into my eyes
2000 light-years of darkness
Take a look into my eyes
200 miles of black woods
Take a look into my eyes
2000 light-years of darkness you'll see
My eyes, your eyes
Father and son
Our thoughts will be one
Connected in souls
Together at last
- In the same black hole
One day you wont know my name
You will go and
Not come back again
I assume
It will bring me great pain
But at least
Ill know where you're staying
Cause you and i
Got a way to go astray
- Disappear into the unknown
To a place where were always all alone
Take a look into my eyes
2000 light-years of darkness
Take a look into my eyes
200 miles of black woods
Take a look into my eyes
2000 light-years of darknessYoull see
My eyes, your eyes
Father and son
Our thoughts will be one
Connected in souls
Together at last
- In the same black hole
In my eyes, in your eyes
In our 2000 light-years of darkness
In my eyes, in your eyes
Are you ready, Sylvester? Sure I am
Lasse? Yeah! Jepson? Yeah!
Martin? (vissling)
Alright, fellas, let's go!
Oh it's been getting so hard
Livin' with the things you do to me
Oh my dreams are getting so strange
I'd like to tell you everything I see
Oh, I see a man at the back
As a matter of fact his eyes are as red as the sun
And a girl in the corner let no one ignore her
`Cause she thinks she's the passionate one
Oh, yeah, it was like lightning, everybody was frightening
And the music was soothing, and they all started grooving
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
And the man at the back said
Everyone attack and it turned into a ballroom blitz
And the girl in the corner said
Boy, I wanna warn ya, it'll turn into a ballroom blitz
Ballroom blitz, ballroom blitz, ballroom blitz
Ballroom blitz
I'm reaching out for something
Touching nothing's all I ever do
Oh, I softly call you over
When you appear there?s nothing left of you, aha
Now the man in the back
Is ready to crack as he raises his hands to the sky
And the girl in the corner is everyone?s mourner
She could kill you with a wink of an eye
Oh yeah, it was electric, and the music was hectic
And the band started leaving, ?cause they all stopped breathing
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
And the man at the back said
Everyone attack and it turned into a ballroom blitz
And the girl in the corner said
Boy, I wanna warn ya, it?ll turn into a ballroom blitz
Ballroom blitz
Oh yeah, it was electric, so frightfully hectic
And the band started leaving, 'cause they all stopped breathing
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
And the man at the back said
Everyone attack and it turned into a ballroom blitz
And the girl in the corner said
Boy, I wanna warn ya, it?ll turn into a ballroom blitz
Ballroom blitz, ballroom blitz, ballroom blitz
Ballroom blitz
It?s it?s a ballroom blitz, it?s it?s a ballroom blitz
It took time, took time to develop a concept
A new me
Based upon the traits from which I could not flee
It took time, took time to embrace the nature
All my dreams
All this time just turned into a sad long wait
This sad long tale of moments pass
Must come to an end before it is too late
Wasn't born to hate, I was made to love
But I never knew it was so hard
It took time, took time to accept the fact
That one must lose
Everything except what you do not choose
It's taken time, long time and yet more time
It will take
Before my heart is free and brave enough to break
This sad long tale of moments pass
Must come to an end before it is too late
Wasn't born to hate, I was made to love
But I never knew it was so hard
This sad bouquet of forget-me-not
That I threw away is growing scars and dots
In this weary heart where there's a bird, so shy
You, who stole my solitude
And expelled me into this mood
-Who permitted you to intrude
So unelegant and rude?
You, who haunt me all day long
Who make me write this song
Of how you've done me wrong
You, who stole my solitude
The most precious thing I owned
I never will forgive you
You, who barricade my streets
Who leave me no retreat
Who haunt me in my sleep
And bitter what I eat
You,
-Say what did you expect?
For a person who's infected
My association paths
-Did you expect a lovesong?
You, who stole my solitude
The most precious thing I owned
Now I'll Tell You Something Baby
You Shure Know How To Keep A Good Man Down
I Gave You My Heart And Soul
Kept You Warm When The Nights Were Cold
You Say You Need Some Time To Think It Over
But I Can't Wait No More
Down That Long Winding Road I'll Go
Running Fast Ain't Looking Back
Follow A Clear Blue Sky
On All The Dreams I'm Depending
Until The Day That I Die
I'll Be Waiting For Sunrise
Where The Winds Blow
That's Where I Go
Down The River To The Sea
Like A Blind Man
In A Strange Land
Will I Ever See The Day
Will I Ever See The Day... Woman
I Keep On Pushing Harder
Everyday The Song
Remains The Same
And I Never Seem To Learn
Bet My Heart On Love
Now I Got Memories To Burn
Everywhere I Go There Is A Trouble
Always Double... Baby
Spend My Time Drinking Too Much Wine
I Can't Take It No More
Follow A Clear Blue Sky
On All The Dreams You're Depending
Until The Day That I Die
I'll Be Waiting For Sunrise
Where The Winds Blow
That's Where I Go
Down The River To The Sea
Like A Blind Man
In A Strange Land
Will I Ever See The Day
And I'm On The Run...
Where The Winds Blow...
Where The Winds Blow
That's Where I Go
Will I Ever See The Day
Will I Ever See The Day
Will I Ever See The Day
I Keep On Pushing Harder Baby
Where The Winds Blow
That's Where I Go
Down The River To The Sea
Like A Blind Man
In A Strange Land
Will I Ever See The Day
Where The Winds Blow
That's Where I Go
Down The River To The Sea
Like A Blind Man
In A Foreign Land
Will I Ever See The Day
Stars Are Resurrected
Shifting Over Desert Skies
Sand Sifting From The Hands Of War
Soldier Is Your Conscience Clean
Can You Feel There's Something Deep Inside
Lay Your Weapons Down
Let The Children Play Here
A Cry From The People
But There's No One There To Hear
And The World Is Watching.silently
We're Halfway There We See It Coming
So In Despair We Must Be Strong
There's A Light On A Shadowed Sky
Hopes And Dreams For You And I
It's Time To Awaken - It's Waking Hour
A New Day Is Breaking - The Future's Now
It's Here And Then It's Gone
Sing A Song For The Broken Ones
And Our Faith Will Reappear
'cause There's Power In The Melody
Power Enough For Changes
If God Is Here
His Tears Are Falling Now
Pouring From The Ceiling Of The Sky
We're Halfway There We See It Coming
So In Despair We Must Be Strong
It's Time To Awaken - It's Waking Hour
A New Day Is Breaking - The Future's Now
It's Here And Then It's Gone
Well, it's been half a year
Since my ball was properly stocked
And relations on whole
Haven't quite been, oh, so clock
But though you're not the key
To this emotional lock
Thar still doesn't change
The values of your stocks
Now I hear people
Talking garbage about you
And as goes with such things
The most of it ain't true
So I write this song just to say to you
I believe in you, I do, Vendelay
Now the word is on the street
That your ball gets properly stocked
And by word you consider it being
Oh, so clock
Well I'm not your spokesman
But still a man of words
And no matter how untrue
I know the garbage always hurts
I don´t know nowadays
What it takes to get me bewitched
For a person like me
Who's just starving to get ditched
Let's just hope that our ropes
Ain't so firmly fixed
And if you'd asked me I'd say
Nix, Vendelay
I know that life is very bad
When you're picking up the pieces
Of what you had and people say
I want you, I want you, I want you
Yeah, they want you all right
But just for a while but hang on in there
And you'll pull it through
'Cause I believe in you, I do
Uriel laughs, I'm drinking water
Dressed in the clothes that I have bought her
She looks like a lamb, held up for slaughter
She is my solemn skies' daughter
But she's in the water, and I'm gonna find her
Down at the bottom, she is alive
Seagrass and bracken, kissing her wavelet
Down at the bottom, wave their bye-byes
You realize that I need comfort
Words that are spells, laughter that's transport
From day to day, when words are spoken
When she laughs silence is broken
But she's in the water, and I'm gonna find her
Down at the bottom, she is alive
Seagrass and bracken, kissing her wavelet
Down at the bottom, and wave their bye-byes
This one's for you, good friend and brother
If I would slip, if I would kill her
Then take these words, spread them above her
Tell her I never could love her
'Cause she's in the water, and I'm gonna find her
Down at the bottom, she is alive
Seagrass and bracken, kissing her wavelet
Down at the bottom, and wave their bye-byes
Shee, sheee..
..is in the water, and I'm gonna find her
Down at the bottom, she is alive
Seagrass and bracken, kissing her wavelet
Down at the bottom, wave their bye-byes
Bye..
For all your life
You've cared about
People you don't really care about
You've heard them shout
And you've heard them out
Now what's that all about?
And all the world's a United Nations
Of faceless scorn and starvation
The friend you need is a friendly invasion
With no "what's in it for me?"
Saturday! And all that is flashing
For the velvet cause of lonely trolls
Getaway! Nobody's asking you to stay put
Still you vapourize and try to hide it
Now I wanna hear you shout it:
I don't want the trust that can be bought
My kind of trust is shareware
I don't want the trust that can be bought
My kind of trust is shareware
My kind of trust is shareware
My kind of trust is shareware, baby!
Now you don't know me but you may have seen
Me rocking the rules of estethic hygiene
My talk is dirty but my boots are clean
Now ain't that worth a scream?
You can leave your money and your telephone
Let's go and see if our friends are home
We'll cast a long shadows from dusk 'til dawn
Until we're all alone...
Saturday! And all that is flashing
For the velvet cause of lonely trolls
Any day, I hear you saying
They've filled us up with
TV-lies and tranquilizers,
Man! I should have realized that
I don't want the trust that can be bought
My kind of trust is shareware
I don't want the trust that can be bought
My kind of trust is shareware
My kind of trust is shareware
Do You Feel The Pressure Overpowering
A Universal Force
Asking You For More
Cutting To The Core
An Unspeakable Surrender
I'm Drifting On A Summer Wind
I Pray To God Here.i Pray To God
In Trance From The Very Beginning
Dancing On A Dream
Asking For More
Eyes Getting Soar
Under The Starlight
I'm Drifting On A Summer Wind
I Pray To God Here
Thrown To The Sun
No Warning Came
Visions Of Light So Clear
But I'm Torn
So Many People Falling Down
Frustrated Masses Crawl
The Blood Of The Earth
A Planted Seed
The Tolling Of Bells Revealed
I'm Drifting On A Summer Wind
I Pray To God Here
Thrown To The Sun
No Warning Came
Visions Of Light So Clear

Or did you never get the chance to be one,
And now you wanna make sure there's no fun
Youve been missing
-Are you tired of being an object?
Or are you just jealous that you aint one,
Now you realized that those objects
Do all the kissing?
Well don't project your spleen
On the girl on the magazine

Maybe she's feeling quite comfortable
The only human right for which im
Gonna fight
Is everybodys right to sometimes feel
Irresistible

Confidence?
-maybe it's you who need real friends?
Well she dosent need your voice
Cause she's already got one
And though she dosnet push
With as much force
It can even be stronger than yours
When she uses it
In a sensi-sensi-sensual whisper
Well don't project your bore
On the girl on the dance floor
-she dosent at all find
The mens looks abusive
She dosent want your shield
-maybe she's the one whos free
-maybe sometimes getting fucked
Can be amusing...?
Well don't project your bore
On the girl on the dance floor
-don't project your bile
On the girl you can dial
She dosent want your shield
-maybe she's the one whos free
-maybe sometimes getting fucked
(Maladie de l'amour - Thorazine Corazon)
(Maladie de l'amour - Thorazine Corazon)
This morning as I woke up, as I was lying in my bed
There was a malady, that was a-circling in my head
(Maladie de l'amour - Thorazine Corazon)
(Maladie de l'amour) - Ooh, gimme, gimme - (Thorazine Corazon)
There ain't no doubt about it, and I've been through all this before
I started seeing double, as I was heading for the door
(Maladie de l'amour - Thorazine Corazon)
(Maladie de l'amour) - Ooh, gimme, gimme - (Thorazine Corazon)
Sing me your malady, and I will sing mine
As easy as one, two, three, and we will get by
I've gotta leave the city, I've gotta put my mind at ease
Make this the last time ever, I write a song about disease
Sing me your malady, and I will sing mine
As easy as one, two, three, and we will get by
(Maladie de l'amour) - Sing me your malady
(Thorazine Corazon) - and I will sing mine
(Maladie de l'amour) - As easy as one, two, three
(Thorazine Corazon) - and we will get by
(Maladie de l'amour) - ooh, give me, give me
(Thorazine Corazon) - ooh, give me, give me
(Maladie de l'amour) - ooh, give me, give me
(Thorazine Corazon) - ooh, give me, give me
(Maladie de l'amour) - ooh, give, give me, oh, oooh
(Thorazine Corazon) - ooh, gimme, gimme
(Maladie de l'amour) - oooo-o-oh
(Thorazine Corazon) - oooo-o-oh
And we will get by
And we will get by
And we will get by
You've been watching over me
Saying you're keeping me company
I should be grateful, I suppose
And compare you to a summer's rose
You've been talking sweet to me
About peace and loving harmony
But I know what you say about me
So now I tell you cause I gotta break free
That I can't give you no false affection
I can do without your phony charm
This train ain't moving in your direction
This piece of poetry is meant to do harm
Please don't give me no warm reception
What you call peace to me is a call to arms
Some are singing to raise affection
But this piece poetry is meant to do harm
So with what shall I compare thee?
Summer's clay or winter's sleet?
You made a non-believer out of me,
Now you ask for my sympathy?
No, take your words and take your vows
Take your flake-fuelled buddhist bows
Let the cool winds roughly shake
Out all darling buds of fake
I can't give you no false affection
I can do without your phony charm
This train ain't moving in your direction
This piece of poetry is meant to do harm
And don't you give me no warm reception
What you call peace to me is a call to arms
I'm not singing to raise affection
Moves, I like to make them
Grooves, I like to shake them
Shake me from my troublesome mind
Cause sometimes you'll find
that I'm out of my mind
You see baby, I'm the worrying kind
Words, I like to break 'em
Words I'd like to shake 'em
Shake them from my troublesome mind
And you turn up your nose
It's a joke you suppose
But baby, I'm the worrying kind
So if you see me somewhere
With that glassy ol' stare
And the panic and fear in my eyes
Don't call for first aid or the fire brigade
Or the local police cause they wont care
I'm just a silly old boy with my head in the can
I'm just a mortal with potential of a superman
But what sense does it make
When i feel like a fake
When i'm saying to you all be good for goodness sake?
Words, I like to break 'em
Words I'd like to shake 'em
Shake them from my troublesome mind
And why? -Heaven knows, It's a joke I suppose
But baby, I'm the worryin' kind
So if you see me somewhere
With that glassy ol' stare
And the panic and fear in my eyes
Don't call for first aid or the fire brigade
Or the local police cause they wont care
I'm just silly old boy with my head in the can
I'm just a mortal with potential of a superman
But what sense does it make
When i feel like a fake
When i'm saying to you all be good for goodness sake?
Ooh! Words, I like to break 'em
Words I'd like to shake 'em
Shake them from my troublesome mind
And why? Heaven knows,
It's Gods joke I suppose
But baby, I'm the worryin' kind
And You turn up your nose
And you say it's a pose
But Baby, I'm the worryin' kind
Yeah sometimes I'm blind
I'm just out of my mind
I'm getting sick
Of you calling it chic
To describe what is that I am
When I know that I'm damned
Cause I got no own place to go
I'm getting sick and tired
You say you know my kind
But I'm a one of a kind
I'm blind leading blind
Cause we got no own place to go
But we're the pounding of the drums
We're your next-door neighbour
You sure must have known
You got nowhere to go
The Others, O-oh-Oh!
The Others, O-oh-Oh!
The In-Lovers, Oh-oh-Oh!
I'm building an army of misplaced lovers
Known as "the others"
Working under covers of love
Cause we got nowhere else to go
Gonna enlist every baldheaded chick with a dick
Every queer that is here so you stupid gits
Know, you're fucked-up, nowhere to go
Hear the pounding of the drums
From your next-door neighbour
You sure must have known
You got nowhere to go
The Others, O-oh-Oh!
The Others, Oh-oh-Oh!
The In-Lovers, O-oh-Oh!
I'm building an army of misplaced lovers
Known as "the others"
Working under covers
I could punch your face
When you say im good
I could dress in lace and paint my face
And go out on a cruise
In the neighbourhood
Become a prostitute
Or become a priest
I could fuck anyone
Every girl, every boy
At least one in every town
That's to say the least
- wouldn't that be radical?
- wouldn't that be radical?
(But)
The most radical thing to do
Is to love someone who loves you
Even when the world is seemingly
Telling you not to
I don't know what's wrong or right
But i know what's worth a fight
The most radical thing is to do what
Your heart tells you to
Cause i do assure
You that i do adore you
I could cut myself
And take it to the streets
I could dress like a freak
Leave my blankets in a heap.
Stop brushing my teeth for ninety weeks
Throw down the government
Become the president
I could try every drug
Or give everyone a hug
Set every prisoner free
And claim im Jesus son
- wouldn't that be radical?
- Yes all of that would be radical all right
But the most radical thing to do
Is to love someone who loves you
Even when the world is seemingly
Telling you not to
I don't know what's wrong or right
But i know what's worth a fight
The most radical thing is to do what
Your heart tells you to
Cause i do assure
You that i do adore you
I wish that i could be that radical
That radical
I wish that i could be that radical
In my dreams I have seen
Tales beyond the extreme,
In the land of the obscene
Some find shelter.
God gave back his sanity clause
- get your friend a dress with claws
And holes to show the flaws
- Oh, he's writing another lovesong.
Pardon me, I don't wanna see,
Siamese centerfold's buzzing me.
Oh no, I don't wanna know
No siamese freakshow, no.
Mummy nun, policeman stunts
Clockwork writing hard-on songs
And curly tales with nothing on,
- Maybe Im getting old.
Don't wanna know where it's done,
Don't wanna know what songs they've sung,
Just wanna wake up and be happy
That I'm still young.
Pardon me, I don't wanna see,
Siamese centerfolds buzzing me.
Oh no, I don't wanna know
What's going on below
Downstairs at the siamese floorshow.
Pardon me, I don't wanna see,
Siamese centerfold's buzzing me.
Oh no, I don't wanna know
No siamese freakshow, no.
I've never felt such great distress
But the lowest crime can become success.
Who else would call them lover, say?
Who else would put their back so straight?
Staring Down At The Marked Place
From High Up Above
I Ring The Bells In My Tower Cells
I Dream Of Something Peaceful And Worm
A Freak Of Nature I Was Born
Lonly Wind Tell How To Begin
I'm Higher When I'm Dancing In The Moonlight
I Am Bound To Walk The Night
Diving To A Wishing Well
Where Hopes And Dreams Can Break The Spell
A Place Where I Can Fly Towards The Sun... Free
Free Me
In The Name Of Love
Break Down These Walls
I Can Take No More
Made Of Flush And Blood... Oh Dear God
Gotta Get Out Of Here
There's Darkness In My Soul
I Wanna Learn To Live
Live To Learn
Looking Out Over Paris
So Many Things I Could Cherish
Smell The Green Be A Part Of The Scene
Children Play Their Laughing
And I'm Just Another Fairytale
Dreams To Ashes To Dust
I'm Higher When I'm Dancing In The Moonlight
I Am Bound To Walk The Night
Diving To A Wishing Well
Where Hopes And Dreams Can Break The Spell
A Place Where I Can Fly Towards The Sun... Free
Free Me
In The Name Of Love
Break Down These Walls
I Can Take No More
Made Of Flush And Blood... Oh Dear God
Gotta Get Out Of Here
I've Been Waiting For So Long
I'm Trying Hard Not To Loose Control
Welcome To Notre Dame My Friends
Where The Pigeons Fly Again
I'm A Ghost In This Town
A King Without A Crown
I'm A Firestorm
Crazy... May Be
Get Ready To Face The Dawn
Oh You're The Beauty And I Am The Beast
In This Cathedral I Hold The Feast
And I'm In Command
This Is My Land
I'm Crazy May Be
And It's All That I Know
There's Darkness In My Soul
And I'm Trying Hard Not To Loose Control
With a sun-tan
Smoking cigarettes from another land
That look so neat
And smell so sweet
Funny how the kids so dressed up and fine
Are standing in a line
For the homecomer to say
They look so sweet,
Mesasure them from head to feet
The Homecomer
With a strawhat
Showing colour-slides of a viper and a bat
And where to go
And where it's at
Sitting drinking wine with the grown-ups by the fire
Telling all night 'bout the places he's been
And the people there
Oh, the kids would love to hear
So they sneak up near
I'll come home
With a mind of my own
And a rucksack full of secrets I can show
While everyone tries to picture
What the homecomer's eyes have seen
A Homecomer
Is what I always wanted to be
The Homecomer
With a strawhat
Finds his way without a map
On the countryside
Or in London town
Looking at the children
With love in his face
Telling them softly that
When I was your age
I longed to be
Someone like me
The Homecomer
With a sun-tan
Touches his own face
With the hands of a man
Somethings has changed
He's not the same
After an appointment
With a very old friend
All good days must come to an end
So he goes to bed
And he closes his eyes
I'll come home
With a mind of my own
And a rucksack full of secrets I can show
While everyone tries to picture
What the homecomer's eyes have seen
A Homecomer
I've got something inside me and I know that is good
and its not about the way I act or the way I look
and its not about the quantity of people who want's to sleep with me
oh no
it's all in the heat that makes me feel good
And you can tell me I'm wrong
but I will still sing this song
cause' I waited so long for the sun to come on in my marrow
And now I'm Glad Yeah
Now I'm glad Yeah
Now I'm Glad and I know that can't be bad
Cause' now I'm glad Yeah
Cause' now I'm Glad Yeah
Now I'm Glad and I know that can't be bad
Well, I look to the left and I look to the right
and then i go straight ahead because neighter seems right
O'boy
What do they know 'bout the heat?
Cause its a constant struggle to gets things right
While corporate jerks try to steal my shine
Oh'boy!
So why don't we take it to the street?
And if they tell you you´r wrong, you tell them i cant be wrong
cos im not doing it for you, im doing to be true to my body
And now im glad yeah, now im glad, yeah, now im glad
and i know that cant be bad
Yes now im glad yeah, now im glad, yeah, now im glad
and i know that cant be bad
Why should it be so bad to be bad,
When it's so hard to be anything at all?
And why does everyone seem to forget
What it's like to be all alone
- As soon as they
Have got someone, no it's no fun
It makes me wanna vanish and die
Maybe I'll throw all my clothes
Into a waterfall
And sit and spy while they all cry
- You get so silly when you're lonely
And you think that you're the only
Who say:
I hope that someone's gonna call
And tell me this night is over
`Cause I wanna start living my life
Before I get much older
Well, I hope that someone's gonna call
And tell me this night is over
`Cause I wanna start living my life
Before I get much older
Maybe you all would consider it a joke
If I say that I hate myself
But now and then
When I look into the mirror
All I see is a big mistake
-And wouldn't you
Well, I just wanna be fun
Just wanna be the one
Who makes you smile
Well, I just wanna believe
That I could be something to someone
- Am I the only one around here,
Who's not gonna live my life in fear?
Well, I hope that someone's gonna call
And tell me this night is over
`Cause I wanna start living my life
Before I get much older
Well, I hope that someone's gonna call
And tell me this night is over
`Cause I wanna start living my life
Before I get much older
(- I don't understand you!)
- And why would you?
(- Can you tell me what is on your mind?)
- I don't have words to say
How much I think I owe you,
- We ain't gonna live our lives in fear...
That I hope that someone's gonna call
And tell me this night is over
`Cause I wanna start living my life
Before I get much older
I hope that someone's gonna call (someone call)
And tell me this night is over (over)
`Cause I wanna start living my life (live my life)
Before I get much older (oh oh)
I hope that someone's gonna call (someone call)
And tell me this night is over (over)
`Cause I wanna start living my life (live my life)
Before I get much older (oh oh)
But I hope that someone's gonna call (someone call)
And tell me this night is over (over)
`Cause I wanna start living my life (live my life)
Before I get much older (oh oh)
[All together]:
I hope that someone's gonna call (someone call)
And tell me this night is over (over)
`Cause I wanna start living my life (live my life)
Before I get much older (oh oh)
I hope that someone's gonna call (someone call)

New York’s a goldmine for Rock City Wankers
Pilgrims of sleaze and of nocturnal pancake
Are you a poet, electrical junkie?
Or are you just a another little rock city wankie?
Saying: ”I’m gonna have a no-life, low-life ’til I get out
Then I get highlife O-o-oh.
Hope they stare at me while the vicodine is kicking in, kicking in…”
Oh no! You put a spike into your vein
Oh no! (Does it make you think you’ve got)
The blood of Thunders in your brain
You ought to know: Just because you’re full of it
It doesn’t mean that you’re the shit
So take a good look at me
Now, Here’s some good advice:
Try some manners, fuck-face!
(I mean it, baby…)
Oh, spare me your sunglass-protected analysis
Elegant vices – midlife crisis
We wanna go wanna see Ligeti-Ligeti, Yeah!
Gonna slip outta here in your limousine-dream, said Yeah!
Oh no! You put a spike into your vein
Oh no! (Does it make you think you’ve got)

It doesn’t mean that you’re the shit
So take a good look at me
Now, Here’s some good advice:
Try some manners, fuck-face!
I’m gonna have a no-life-low-life ’til I get out
Then I get Highlife -O-o-oh!
I’m gonna have no-life, ’til I get highlife

So God made woman and God made man
and God made them understand.
Nature's law and the good Gods grace
the rest was to unknown remain
You brought the rules just to see for certain what it's like
to be crucify
You bet the apple, you pull out the curse and I hope you whine,
You're racing with the rabbit.
But flesh must follow lusty crew
so how could nature disagree
flesh oh fail and the damage done,
you've start the race that can't be won.
You brought the rules just to see for certain what it's like
to be crucify
You bet the apple, you pull out the curse and I hope you whine,
You're racing with the rabbit...
...you're racing with the rabbit
you're racing with the raaaabbit
What it's like to be crucify
What it's like, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna.
You brought me just to see what it's like to be,
you wanna know what it's like to be crucify.
You Wanna, you ready just to see what it's like to be, to me I wanna...
god made woman and God made man...
Come, baby
It's time to pray
Come it's time to pray for the weekend, babe
Come it's time to jump in at the deep end, babe
It opens up it's jaws panting like a hound
So, we'll pick the fleurs du mal and we'll bind it a crown
Come, let's pray for the weekend, babe
(Nanana nana nana nanana)
Come, make your claim for a better day
(Nanana nana nana nanana)
Come, let's pray for the weekend, babe
(Nanana nana nana nanana)
Come, make you claim for the holiday
(Nanana nana nana nanana)
It hovers like an eagle, it's growling like a beast
Demanding our sacrifice, but offering a feast
It's calling for our blood, we must quench it's thirst
The night is calling all its dusky children back to work
(But first)
Come, let's pray for the weekend, babe
(Nanana nana nana nanana)
Come, make your claim for a better day
(Nanana nana nana nanana)
Ooh, come, let's pray for the weekend, babe
(Nanana nana nana nanana)
Come, make you claim for the holiday
(Nanana nana nana nanana)
Ooh, ooh, oooh...
Come, let's pray for the weekend, babe
(Nanana nana nana nanana)
Come, make your claim for a better day
(Nanana nana nana nanana)
Ooh, come, let's pray for the weekend, babe
(Nanana nana nana nanana)
Ooh, come, make you claim for the holiday
(Nanana nana nana nanana)
Let's pray that the weekend will thrill us, babe
Let's pray that the weekend won't kill us, babe
I've got sunshine in the palms of my hands
Generating slowly
Into somekind of a wave of a trance
I'm reancting madly
If I was home
I wouldn't be late to tell you
'Cause sure I would like to burn
But if I'm gonna burn
Then it must be fire
But now it burns, burns, burns, burns
So it must be fire
But tell melove
Ain't this desire
I can't tell love from desire
But it sure feels good!
Must be something in the air that I breathe
That affects me wildly
And to put it as it makes my blood seethe
Is to express it mildly
Oh no, oh no!
I wouldn't dream of dreaming that dream....
'Cause sure I would like to burn
But if I'm gonna burn
Then it must be fire
But now it burns, burns, burns, burns
So it must be fire
But tell me love
Ain't this desire
I can'ttell love from desire
Who will give a dolla’
For a really lucky fella
Who gets kissed under umbrella?
And who´s got time for fatsos
Who´s a-singing ’bout pajazzos
-Oh, is that art. Oh, is that so?
Maybe what dies aint supposed to live
Maybe you’ve given
What you had to give to me
Why You’re acting so unnaturally,
Is that your only way to be?
Now is it really fun to say
"Lets do it in a modern way"
When the longeurs is the stinkin’ same?
It’s such a massive overload
You don’t have to be wise and old
To see this boat is sinkin, ey?
Maybe what dies aint supposed to live
Maybe you’ve given
What you had to give to me
Why You’re acting so unnaturally,
Is that your only way to be?
Houp, houp, houp-la! Op-op-op-op-opera!
Now look out on the streets
There is energy and heat and
Some friends i’d like you all to meet
It’s a crowd that longs for shows
Overacting, overdoze, Extra-fancy-ganza!
So, maybe you still got some time to live
Maybe you still have got something to give to me
-But i tell You to impress me
You must improve your fantasy
Houp, houp, houp-la! Op-op-op-op-opera!
I wanna hold you but you're out of reach
Somewhere searching for your inner peace
Im just looking for a little squeeze
Face to face and cheek to cheek
Its in your blood but not in mine
What's in your blood is in my mind
Somethings broken in the way we smile
It is within us all the time
Youre well aquainted with the So- o- o-Ho
And all the Ello and Ow are u?
And we both have to get it on before the summers gone
We gotta hurry in our worry to get done today
Cause one of us is gonna die young
Lets put our money where our mouth is and get out today
Cause one of us is gonna die young
Ooh, Ooh, One of us is gonna die young
Ooh, Ooh, One of us is gonna die young
That's right
Aah, aah, aah, aah
And don't you take this the wrong way
Im not looking for a way to replace what love can give
Cause you can't do that!
Im only saying that where I come from
People find it very fashionable
To burn like a flame
Never get tame Grown-up and lame Yeah! Yeah!
Youre looking beat but you say: no, oh, no, no
Im all messed up and Im ready to go!
We aint gonna go it alone no more So lets get on
With the show
There's a lot to be said and to be done today
Cause one of us is gonna die young
Before they put us in a coffin Ive got things to say
One of us is gonna die young One of us is gonna die young
Ooh, Ooh, One of us is gonna die young
Ooh, Ooh, One of us is gonna die young
And there's a lot to be said and to be done today
Cause one of us is gonna die young
And you're chim-chim-chammy and
Your're wealthy and you're whammy
'Cus one of us is gonna die young
One of us is gonna die young
Cry, O, Does You're done with
fortune
Mean deeds did steal Your need
to be free
Dry and close your wandering
fountains
and be with me as I slip trough
Your dreams
Think about the Young boy
He's so eager to be loved, to
understand
getting his hair cut like a boy
watching the sun set on his own
Think about the young girl
she's so eager to be loved and
understood
Think about the young boy,
He's becoming a man
Cry, O, Doves You're done with
fortune
New dreams did free Your need
to be real
Try, O, Moles in Your sunly
torture
to dream of me as You creep
trough the trees
Think about the Young boy
He's so eager to be loved, to
understand
getting his hair cut like a boy
watching the sun set on his own
Think about the young girl
she?s so eager to be loved and
understood
Think about the young boy,
He's becoming a man
Broken is the wind
Broken is his fellow
his name is Angro-Diti
and his voice is very mellow
/and he sings/
"So twice five miles of fertile
ground
with walls and towers were
girdled `round
and there were gardens
bright with sinous rills
were blossomed many an
incense-bearing tree"
He sings of wuthering wilderness
and how it once was tamed
He sings of God?s boredom
in the days of no names
Cry, O, Doves You're done with
fortune
New dreams did free Your need
to be real
Try, O, Moles in Your sunly
torture
to dream of me as You creep
through the trees
Think about the Young boy
He's so eager to be loved, to
understand
getting his hair cut like a boy
watching the sun set on his own
Think about the young girl
she's so eager to be loved and
understood
Think about the Young boy
He's so eager to be loved, to
understand
getting his hair cut like a boy
watching the sun set on his own
Oh, when worlds collide
it's like thunder in the head
and fire in the mind
So, think about the young boy
Walked Through The Crowd
My Head Hung Low
Their Sending An Innocent Soul

And Satan Sets His Stage
It's A Sacrifice For The People
An Act Of Evil
No One To Hear You Cry
Only There To Watch You Die
Soon You'll Be Breathless
Dealt Is The Card Of The Hangman
I Stared Into The Crystal Full Of Prophecies
Human Characters In The Book Of Change
As The Angels Circle Dragon Hill

A Sacrifice For The People
An Act Of Evil
Pleading To The Stars
Deliver Me From Madness
No One To Hear You Cry

Will We See Tomorrow
No One Will Hear You Cry
Only There To Watch You Die

Don't scratch your arm it'll only get worse
And don't even think
Don't open your purse
I can pay for you
That's the least I can do
You can pay me back in kisses when the month is through
I wont lie to you
There is no end to love like ours
There is no end to a love like ours
There is no end to love like ours
You've got some kind of dirt on your shoulder
Blood in your eyes
No surprises
So tell me again what the future is like
It is me and it's you, a porch and a stool
Let's find out what the state supplies for ageing fools
Would I lie to you?
There is no end to love like ours
There is no end to a love like ours
Come and lie beside me now, my love
Come, I've always been too shy in love
My voice is narrow
And a boy ain't supposed to cry
Until tomorrow:
Let me down gently
Let me down gently
Let me down gently
I'm too young, too afraid of heights to make the jump and fly
Knowing you will always be a trial
Knowing that you only stay a while
My deepest horror
And I know I ain't supposed to cry
I'm safe from sorrow
Let me down gently
Let me down gently
Let me down gently
I'm too young, too afraid of heights to make the jump and fly
Let me down gently
Let me down gently
Let me down gently
Night after night I tell myself
That I gotta find a way to escape this void
After all is said and done
My resum?'s gonna be elegant from now on
You put the strap around your neck
Funny that I'm not dangling up there all along
Sickness will kindly talk to the mind when the mind can't take it anymore
Put on your amazing leotard and learn all you should know
Ooh-oh! Gotta make way for the new pollution
Ooh-oh! It's gonna be a hairspray revolution
Ooh-oh, life left you only seconds to play
Life left you only seconds to play
I never knew you, never will
And if we'd meet I'd probably hate you from the very
Start up a fight, I'd fight you right
But by the end of the night we'd be the ones to hang out
Buy you a drink, a smoke, a pint
Saying that it's gonna be elegant from now on
Sickness will kindly talk to the mind, when the minds got nowhere else to go
Put on your amazing leotard and get on with the show
Ooh-oh! Gotta make way for the new pollution
Ooh-oh! It's gonna be a hairspray revolution
Ooh-oh, life left you only seconds to play
Life left you only seconds to play
Looking like a right potato
Never saw a grimmer look
You tell me I'm a masturbator
So you still know some of the french you took!
And they'll beat you to the ground
Treat you like a hound
Cheat away your money turn your best friends around
They'll tell you that you're overrated
But still they'll take a closer look
So come down kid, we are all waiting down here...
Ooh-oh! Gotta make way for the new pollution
Ooh-oh! It's gonna be a hairspray revolution
Ooh-oh! Gotta make way for the new pollution

And I Can't Help It
I Can Not Fake It
I know many who are worse of than you
But you stick to you fuck-ups like they're made out of glue
Little Dysfunk you, now what you gonna do?
Your eyes are watery, a mouth made for joy
Always quoting Morrisey but did you ever do it with a boy?
I've got a mouth for joy
And I can take you on, I can take you on
I'll be your next-door neighbour, your mother and your savior
I can take you on, I can take you on
I'll be the murder on the Rue Morgue, you're trying to solve
Oh, I can't wait too long, I can't wait too long,
Hear me calling out for you, calling out for you
Please don't wait too long, please don't wait too long,
Makes me crazy, hearing you go on about the "so much for bleached nostalgia.."
You're not afraid of pain, I know what you did
But now the question is do you really dare to live?
Pretty Dysfunk kid
It's better to be bitter than to seem like a fool,
You say and hide behind your beer-glass
But I'm not so impressed by your dysfunk moves
'Cause I'm a dysfunk too
But I can take you on, I can take you on
I'll be your next-door neighbour, your mother and your savior
I can take you on, I can take you on
I'll be the murder on the Rue Morgue you're trying to solve
Oh, I can't wait too long, I can't wait too long
Hear me calling out for you, calling out for you
Please, don't wait too long
Please, don't wait too long, makes me crazy
Words
Come to me so easily
They make me forget what I mean
Seem so very unsound
When I don't want them around
Let your body decide where you want to go
Let your body decide where you want to go, high or low, fast or slow
Let your body decide where you want to go, high or low, fast or slow
Let your body decide where you want to go, high or low, fast or slow
Let your body decide where you want to go, high or low, fast or slow
I don't know if I'm ready
But everything must be unsteady on the first go-round
Thoughts
-Is it right to feel this way?
-Will I be happy one day?
-Is my posture OK?
-Am I straight or gay?
Let your body decide where you want to go
Let your body decide where you want to go, high or low, fast or slow.
Let your body decide where you want to go, high or low, fast or slow.
Let your body decide where you want to go, high or low, fast or slow.
Let your body decide where you want to go, high or low, fast or slow.
I don't know if I'm ready
I'm afraid
Embarassed to
I have never
Seen anything like you
My God, you're great
Greater than I did expect
And the night
Is silver
'round your neck
And the night
Is silver
'round your neck
Men high and low
Sing hymns to you
Your sons and daughters
Do what you want them to
I want to wear
Your love like a laurel wreath
And the night turns silver
When you breathe
And the night turns silver
When you breathe
I'm out of time
You bring me down
You leave me naked
Standing out of line
'cause you're a soul
On an endless trek
And the night is silver
'round your neck
And the night is silver

I was born to start a revolution
It would be my contribution
To a worldwide resurrection
I was born to start a million fires
The joy of mens' desires
Was laid in my hand
But I was born a weak and worried thinker
With an eagerness to know myself
That throws it all away
'Cause all I can think of is:
-Love
And saturday
And how the golden road can seize to glare
Oh, man! What if I just don't give a damn?
-How wonderful!
But after all the worst can't be that bad
Oh, man...What if I knew how to say:
- Stop
- No
- Let go?
- Oh, the angelheaded demons-tongue
Who thought he knew
Why some mirrors crack so easily
- now, he ain't got a clue
And every now and then
It seems to me it's come to this
-that promises and prophecies
Was all i had to give
'Cause all I can think of is:
Love...
Oh, Love...
But after all the worst can't be that bad
Oh, man...
Whatever happened to the funky race?
A generation lost in pace,
Wasn't life supposed to be more than this?
In this kiss I'll change your bore for my bliss.
But let go of my hand and it will slip out
in the sand if you don't give me the chance
to break down the walls of attitude,
I ask nothing of you,
not even your gratitude.
And if you think I'm corny
then it will not make me sorry,
it's your right to laugh at me
and in turn, that's my oppurtunity
to feel brave.
'Cause it takes a fool to remain sane,
Oh, It takes a fool to remain sane,
Oh, It takes a fool to remain sane,
Oh, In this world all covered up in shame.
Every morning I would see
her getting off the bus the
picture never drops it's like
a multicoloured snapshot stuck in my brain,
it kept me sane for a couple of years
as it drenched my fears
of becoming like the others
who become unhappy mothers
and fathers of unhappy kids,
And why is this?
'Cause they've forgotten how to play,
or maybe they're afraid to feel ashamed,
to seem strange,
to seem insane,
to gain weight,
to seem gay,
I tell you this:
That it takes a fool to remain sane,
Oh, It takes a fool to remain sane,
Oh, It takes a fool to remain sane,
Oh, In this world all covered up in shame.
(Oh, take it to the stage!)
So, take it to the stage
in a multicoloured jacket take it jackpot, crackpot,
strutting like a peacock
nailvarnish Arkansas
shimmy-shammy featherboah crackpot haircut dye
your hair in glowing red and blue!
Do, Do, Do! What you wanna do,
Don't think twice, do what you have to do,
Do, Do, Do, let your heart decide
what you have to do that's all there is to find!
'Cause it takes a fool to remain sane,
Oh, It takes a fool to remain sane,
Oh, In this world all covered up in shame
Oh, It takes a fool to remain sane,
Oh, It takes a fool to remain sane,
Oh, It takes a fool to remain sane,
Walk with me slowly, let in some air
I know we both have been lonely and I wasn't there
But here's a packet of peanuts and here's a pint of beer,
We both run around in circles when there's nothing to fear
And if I ever did you any wrong
There's a two-headed reason why this can go on
But it's true that I've been away too long
So - I pathologize, I pathologize, I pathologize
Don't know much about love and roses
But I know we got compatible neuroses
Know there's a way to shed your skin
But when we don't know where it ends
how should we dare to begin?
If I ever did you any wrong
There's a two-headed reason why this can go on
But it's true that I've been away too long
So - I pathologize, I pathologize, I pathologize
If I ever did you any wrong
There's a two-headed reason why this can go on
But it's true that I've been away too long
So - I pathologize, I pathologize, I pathologize
If I ever did you any wrong
There's a two-headed reason why this can go on
And it's true that I've been away too long
There's a two-headed reason why I sing this song
And if the key's too high for you to sing along
Howling He-men
following the stream and
smelling semen
God, I never wanted
to to become one of them.
Naked
shaking
I suddenly felt like
sacred
Angels
were calling me by name:
Oppular!
And so I laid it down for all
to see
Oppular!
And the world was young
and a-waiting for me
I laid it down, I laid it down!
Oppular!
I laid it down for all to see
Oppular!
I laid it down on the dusty
ground
Oppular!
and all I felt was like a great
relief
I laid it down, I laid it down!
Saint-like
maybe
She stood there
before me
pure as could to be
I gt down and kissed her
feet
and somehow
I got by
my troubles
down under he waistline
Sunshine,
kiss me, couse here, I come.
Oppular!
RAIN ON MY DOORSTEP
I GOT YOU ON THE LINE
THERE'S SOMETHING MISSING
THAT MONEY CAN'T BUY
WEIGHT ON MY SHOULDER
WHY WOULD YOU LEAVE
I THOUGHT WE WERE SPECIAL
YOU GOT ME ON MY KNEES
DON'T BRING IT DOWN - IT DOWN
DON'T SAY IT'S OVER NOW
I CAN'T ENDURE THE PAIN
DON'T BRING IT DOWN
BABY LET IT BE
WORDS BEING SPOKEN
TRYING HARD TO UNDERSTAND
LIFE HAS NO MEANING
IF I CAN'T BE YOUR MAN
YOU SAY LOVE IS OVER
AND THAT WE GREW APART
THE VOICE OF ANOTHER
ECHOES IN YOUR HEART
DON'T BRING IT DOWN - IT DOWN
DON'T SAY IT'S OVER NOW
IF YOU'RE GONNA LET IT RAIN
DON'T BRING IT DOWN
DON'T BRING IT DOWN ON ME
BABY LET IT BE
YOU KNOW I CAN'T ENDURE THE PAIN
RAIN ON MY DOOR
YOU'RE NOT HERE ANYMORE
AND I NEED AN ANSWER OR A REASON
CUTS LIKE A KNIFE
I AM STABBED IN THE SIDE
AND I BLEED
DON'T LEAVE ME BURNING IN THE FIRE
.YOUR BLOOD RUNS SO COLD.
DON'T BRING IT DOWN - IT DOWN
DON'T SAY IT'S OVER NOW
IF YOU'RE GONNA LET IT RAIN
DON'T BRING IT DOWN
DON'T BRING IT DOWN ON ME
BABY LET IT BE
IF YOU GONNA LET IT RAIN
LORD DON'T BRING IT DOWN
DON'T BRING IT DOWN
'CAUSE I CAN'T ENDURE THE PAIN
DON'T BRING - DON'T BRING IT DOWN
Hey modern days, here we come
But our feet are swollen and we got no place to stay
But we hope it would still be okay
'cos we brought champagne
And we thought that there must be sleeping bags
(in this very modern day)
But we're all very proud to be here today
The first of a thousand million modern days
'Cos it's a scam, it's a royal kind of wham-bam figure
It's abrieved in the sense of being up-john and senseless
It's a see-saw sickness, it's a snake-bite, low-chant jive
On the century's crime
Well, it's a scam, it's a royal kind of wham-bam figure
It's abrieved in the sense of being up-john and senseless
It's a see-saw sickness, it's a snake-bite, low-chant jive
On the century's crime
Hey modern days, we are taken a-back
We're a flame and a-gog, aloof and inhaled
With a don-don briefcase, oh, wait for our call
And I therefore shall declare
That the stores shall be locked no more
(no more), no more, (no more)
Why shall men suffer, why shall there be freaks?
Why am I still rehearsing a song when I oughta sleep?
'Cos it's a scam, it's a royal kind of wham-bam figure
It's abrieved in the sense of being up-john and senseless
It's a see-saw sickness, it's a snake-bite, low-chant jive
On the century's crime
Well, it's a scam, it's a royal kind of wham-bam figure
It's abrieved in the sense of being up-john and senseless
It's a see-saw sickness, it's a snake-bite, low-chant jive
On the century's crime
Oh, chin-batty dour face, why did you go there?
Sitting on a cold stone, waiting for the train home
Hoping it would carry me home
Hoping you would carry me home
In my youth I was a loner
Andthe gaudy red persona
Was still hanging on the wall
A-waiting to enthrall
Had no cannabis to sedate us
So we smoked carrots and potatoes
Tea and head-ache pills
But I can't recall the thrills...
So don't talk to me like that
I'm also a cat
Don't know where you've been
But I know where it's at
It's taken me time to work out what to do
What to do with you
Took me all afternoon to think it all through
But now I'm done, dome, done thinkin'
Done, done, done and I'm thinkin':
Oh, Oh No!
Hey Kwanongoma!
You spin me around
My head upside down
I'm down on my knees
I'm begging you please
How low can you go?
When we're out on our own
How low can you go?
How low can we go?
Then you came along
My whole world was changed
With fire and song
My old dreams were gone
And I knew that nothing could tear us apart
And nothing did tear
Tear us apart
Now it hurts in my heart
(I'm singing) Na-na-na-now nothing
Na-na-na-nothing is all I got
Hey Kwanongoma!
You spin me around
My head upside down
I'm down on my knees
I'm begging you please
How low can we go?
When we're out on our own
How low can we go?
Why Don't We Hear
Why Don't We See
Is There No Future For You And Me
Why Do We Hide Behind A Masque
Suddenly Breathless
All Is Black And Blinding Me
Truth Is A Lie And Lies Are True
What Is Weak Is Sometimes Strong
Sending A Message To All
Sending A Message To God
We Must Bring Light To The Darkness
In Time We Will Rise Above
Heal The Waters
Earth Is The Lamb To The Slaughter
And Give Us Magic
Release Our Devoted Souls
Look Behind You
You've Seen The Kingdoms Fall
Subliminal Wars Make Us Cry For Sundown
Holy Man Wash The Blood From Your Hand
Godless Behavior Throughout The Land
I Fear You - You Fear Me
Building Our Bridges Eternaly
Gates Of Hell Cast Their Spell
Your Mark And Your Colors Are Branded On You
Sending A Message To All
Sending A Message To God
We Must Bring Light To The Darkness
In Time We Will Rise Above
Heal The Waters
Earth Is The Lamb To The Slaughter
And Give Us Magic
Release Our Devoted Souls
Angel Wings Burned To Ashes
Scattered Through The Sky
The Smell Of Cinder And Melting Steel
This Wound Will Never Heal
Sending A Message - A Message To All
Sending A Message To God
Heal The Waters
Earth Is The Lamb To The Slaughter
And Give Us Magic
And the lions ate the christians and the
Christians burned the witches
And even I am out of explanations,
But maybe that doesn't matter anymore
Cause maybe you can read my thoughts
And going to school, going to work,
Doing the dishes, knife and fork
All of that, all in all, hand in hand,
Spring and fall
I believe I could get through it
I could even get into it
But only you can make me do it
And if there is disease in you
I want to have that disease too
'Cause I want everything
That is inside you
If there is disease in you
I want to have that disease too
'Cause if you die
Then I should die beside you
I began to read your profile:
You're independent mobile...
Well I know just as little
'Bout perfection,
But we're running in the same direction,
So maybe that doesn't matter anyhow
Belly aches, hair falls off,
Skin gets covered with liver spots,
Blood in the mouth
And a racking cough,
Head gets filled
With feverish thoughts
I believe I could get through it
I could even get into it
But only you can make me do it
And if there is disease in you
I want to have that disease too
'Cause I want everything
That is inside you
If there is disease in you
I want to have that disease too
And if you die
Then I should die beside you
If there is disease in you...
Fall asleep and I will wake beside you
And if there is disease in you
I want to have that disease too
'Cause I want everything
That is inside you
Inside you,
Well you've heard about things and you've heardabout fangs
And you've heard about song and you've heard about dance
And you've heard them all say that you don't stand a chance but:
Girl you're gonna get 'em, real soon
Girl you're gonna get 'em, real soon
People all around your town
They all have that suspicious frown
And it wears you out and it wears you down, but
Girl you're gonna get 'em, real soon
Girl you're gonna get 'em, real soon
Girl you're gonna get 'em, real soon
Girl you're gonna get 'em, real soon
Aaoow! Aaoow! Girl you're gonna get 'em, real soon!
Aaoow! Aaoow! Girl you're gonna get 'em, real soon!
Girl you're gonna get 'em, real soon
Girl you're gonna get 'em, real soon
Girl you're gonna get 'em, real soon
Girl you're gonna get 'em, real soon
Well you've heard about rumba and you've heard about jazz
And that if you really want it then you have to ask
That's when you're gonna say: You can kiss my ass!
Cause Girl you're gonna get 'em, real soon
Girl you're gonna get 'em, real soon
And you've heard about monkeys and monkey-do
And that monkeys all are cheaters and it's mostly true
But I tell you little monkey that this monkey tells the truth when he says:
Girl you're gonna get 'em, real soon
Girl you're gonna get 'em, real soon
Girl you're gonna get 'em, real soon
Girl you're gonna get 'em, real soon
Aaoow! Aaoow! Girl you're gonna get 'em, real soon!
Aaoow! Aaoow! Girl you're gonna get 'em, real soon!
Girl you're gonna get 'em, real soon
Girl you're gonna get 'em, real soon
Girl you're gonna get 'em, real soon
Gimme love, gimme love, gimme love to give to others
Gimme strength to endure when I'm fed up with this world
Gimme love, gimme love, gimme love to give to others
Gimme strength to endure when I simply hate this world
Oh, it's a pretty idea, walk this world like a messiah
But it will bring you to tears, and people will call you a liar
And when the scorners in the corners spread their anguish every morning
I just wish that there's a God that can hear me:
Gimme love, gimme love, gimme love to give to others
Gimme strength to endure when I'm fed up with this world
Gimme love, gimme love, gimme love to give to others
Gimme strength to endure when I simply hate this world
When people passing you by, you'll always be a child in yearning
You say that you will get by, but the sadness in your heart is burning
And here comes Chuck, he says: Lend me a buck, next thing you're lying on sidewalk bleeding
Gimme love, gimme love, gimme love to give to others
Gimme strength to endure when I'm fed up with this world
Gimme love, gimme love, gimme love to give to others
Gimme strength to endure when I simply hate this world
Oh Lord, I need your help now
To feel love 'cause I've forgotten how
And it's so hard you see when all the scruitinizers, brutalizers, hipster jerks and bad advisors
Make my ears and my eyes bleed
I say, please!
Oh, Lord!
Gimme love, gimme love, gimme love to give to others
Gimme strength to endure when I'm fed up with this world
Gimme love, gimme love, gimme love to give to others
Gimme strength to endure when I simply hate this world
Give me love, ooh, give me love to give
Give me love, ooh, give me love to give
Give me love, ooh, give me love to give
Give me love, ooh, give me love to give
Gimme love, gimme love, gimme love to give to others
Gimme strength to endure when I simply hate this world
I Saw Her Face In A Magazine
She Was There Smiling Back At Me
It Was A Spark To The Fire And I Flew Higher
Her Hair As Black As Coal
Her Eyes We're Slightly Blue
Am I Imagining The Beauty Reflecting
Will She Ever Know My Name
I'm Dreaming
That Someday She'll Be Mine
It's Love That Feeds The Fire
In For Desire I Dive Endlessly
I Can't Stop Believing
Love Will Be There
I Know You're Out There Somewhere
My Dreams Are All About You
Baby We Could Walk Through Fire
Your Power I Desire
Loving From A Distance
Ain't Got No Resistance
Behind Your Made Up Face
Your Secrets Embrace
Will She Ever Know My Name
I'm Dreaming
Someday She'll Be Mine
It's Love That Feeds The Fire
In For Desire I Dive Endlessly
And I Can't Stop Believing
Love Will Be There
Love Will Feed The Fire
In For Desire I Dive Endlessly
I Can't Stop Believing
One day I will become
the father of a son
Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah!
Well, I’ve had my share
Of remarks about my rear
But I know it’s all about fear
And that you’d probably love it
if you’d only dare
And I know a thousand girls
who’d go wild
If I’d ask them to bear my child
So I don’t see why you’d even care
to prevent me
cause I can swear,
That one day I will become
The father of a Son
Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah!
One day I will become
the father of a Son
Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah!
And you’re totally fogged in your head
If you were serious right now
when you said
That it’s because
they will be bullied in school
cause that means you let the bullies set the rules
And you can legislate and oppress
and you can make my life a mess
But you can't change the way I feel
Or convince me that my wish is unreal
And you can strike me down
and fence me
And you can claim
that there’s opinion against me
But I’ll still win over You, Sir
cause if you fight Love,
you’re always a looser
And one day I will become
The Father of a Son
Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah!
One day I will become
The Father of a Son
Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah!
And I may be gay
But I can tell you straight away
That I’ll become a better father than all of you anyway (So listen!)
One day I will become
the Father of a Son
(Echo, echo, echo, echo
echo, echo, echo, echo)
(Echo, echo, echo, echo)
Have you heard the word no, no, no?
I thought so
'cos everybody says yes
everywhere you go
You know
If you always must know what's right
you will end up
You will end up among the ones
who always are wrong
Remember a star that shone so bright
but now his glare fills me with fright
And now I actually fear
that something's gone wrong with your ears
I'm singing
Step out, step out of your echo chamber
Step out, step out of your echo chamber
Before it is too late (late)
Before it is too late (late)
Before it is too late
'cos I miss you so
(Echo, echo, echo, echo)
You always stayed among the ones
Not so strong
Too eager to belong
to object when you were wrong
When
When will you ever get sick of
listening to repeats
of what you have said?
You better listen instead
to folks who think with their own head
I never want to be your foe
I just wanna say I miss you so
How long will you stay in there?
I just wish that you could hear me singing
Step out, step out of your echo chamber
Step out, step out of your echo chamber
Before it is too late (late)
Before it is too late (late)
Before it is too late
'cos I miss you so
(Step out, step out of your) echo chamber
Oh, step out, step out of your echo chamber
Step out (step out)
before you go crazy
Before it is too late (late)
Before it is too late (late)
Before it is too late
'cos I miss you so
(Echo, echo, echo, echo
echo, echo, echo, echo
Ooh, I was a lonely cloud
I was a leaf that had to fall to the ground
I was a coloured red by the oceanic time
I went down, down so sublime-sublime
Can they explain why it hurts in our brains?
(With my landslide companion)
Why we all yearn for some biblical disaster?
(Rocks and Bones!)
Me and the cannibal's volountary prey
(A cannibal...)
Ain't looking for a friend, we are looking for a Master
(Or anyone who can...)
Deliver us from free will
Deliver us from free will
Deliver us and free our minds from thought
Deliver us from free will
Deliver us from free will
Deliver us and free our minds from thought
Deliver us now!
Ooh, I was a Jabba the Hut slut
Cut to the next frame, do it again
I was a B-flat conqueror, cat to comb
With all the no-no-no of nursery bones
Say can you see who will sleep well at night
(Are you sleeping?)
In a world that's a-flame and is changing much faster
(A-changing, a-changing)
Give us a reason to fall to the ground
(A miracle!)
Or give us the drugs so we all can get plastered forever...
Forever!
Deliver us from free will
Deliver us from free will
Deliver us and free our minds from thought
Deliver us from free will
Deliver us from free will
Don't wanna know what tomorrow will bring
I need a thing I can hold on and cling to forever... Forever!
Deliver us from free will
Deliver us from free will
Deliver us and free our minds from thought
Deliver us from free will
Deliver us from free will
Deliver us and free our minds from thought
He came 'round for the afterparty
Got a reception more than hearty
Well no wonder, here he was, our city's most prominent martyr
Who stuck needles in his arms while you and I still stuck to smarties
And who taught us all 'bout poetry and how to pick up birds
Who hung on to his pathos while other suckers saved and earned
And the underground would love him in return
He came 'round for the afterparty
Got a reception more than hearty
So then he took a loop around and then he slouched into an armchair
And there was she, yeah in a flash, like Guinevere to her King Arthur
So I closed my eyes and this is what I heard:
You sorry ass, you sorry ass
Oh! Death to the martyrs, come on, come on
You sorry ass, you sorry ass
Oh! Death to the martys, come on!
I remember it all clearly, I remember it precise
How he fixed me with his stare and looked me right into the eyes
Saying: "Me, I'm no machine, no, I defy the nine to five"
Now forgive me, I considered it both radical and wise
But for God's sake, I was fourteen at the time!
You sorry ass, you sorry ass
Oh! Death to the martyrs, come on, come on
You sorry ass, you sorry ass
Oh! Death to the martys, come on!
Now you who are so grand, who claim you built the fundaments on which I stand
You are the man, but you preferred the gentle fan I was before
But now it's time to be unkind to speak my mind
And if you ask why I'm so blunt, it's 'cause I care for you, you cunt!
You're no longer wild at heart, you're just a boring junkie fart
And if you really wanna die, alright, then die, then you old tart!
So I walked across the dancefloor until I was in his sight
And I opened up and this is what come out:
You sorry ass, you sorry ass
Oh! Death to the martyrs, come on, come on
You sorry ass, you sorry ass
Oh, I have seen the strong turn frail,
insufficiency
turn their once proud cheeks pale.
And, I have seen the fruitless love
of cygnets down the bay
and how some younger make their way
with a little
help from their friends.
And I, I have heard of how
the cygnets cry
-I wonder how,
how to make her cry that way.
-Say, can I make her shake,
like cygnets shake,
when cygnets break?
-Can it ever be the same?
Oh, it is still not long ago
that I believed in wages of sin and so.
And she,
such a wicked androgyne.
So maybe should I strike her on her chin
or should I cut her head in two...
-Yes, that’s what I ought to do.
Cause I, I have heard of how
the cygnets cry
-I wonder how,
how to make her cry that way.
-Say, can I make her shake,
like cygnets shake,
when cygnets break?
-Can it ever be the same?
But,
when she leans against my shoulder,
I know nothing can be stronger.
So I don’t see why I worry.
-I just can’t stand the thought
of that sound...
But Hey,
Hey, I saw her yesterday,
and I never felt my heart take a leap that way.
Now,
I must no more waste my time.
Now, I’m gonna push it up her spine,
I’m gonna make her weep and whine
-all because I love her.
‘Cause I, I have heard of how
the cygnets cry
-I wonder how,
how to make her cry that way.
-Say, can I make her shake,
like cygnets shake,
when cygnets break?
-Can it ever be the same?
I Have seen the strong turn frail,
insufficiency turn their once proud cheeks pale
And I have seen the fruitless love
of cygnets down the bay

with "a little help from their friends"
And I
I have heard of how the cygnets cry,
I wonder how, how to make her cry that way
-Say, can I make You shake
like cygnets shake, when cygnets break?
-Can it ever be the same?
it is still not long ago
that I believed in wages of sin an so
And She,
such a wicked androgyne
So maybe should I strike her on her chin
or should I cut her head in two...
-Yes, thats what I ought to do...
Cause I
I have heard of how the cygnets cry,
I wonder how, how to make her cry that way
-Say, can I make you shake
like cygnets shake, when cygnets break?
-Can it ever be the same?
Cause i have heard the sound..
when she leans against my shoulder
I know nothing can be stronger
so I dont see why i worry...
-I just cant stand the thought of that sound,
aww, that sound...
-But Hey,
Hey, I saw her yesterday
and i never felt my heart take a leap that way
Now, I must know more waste my time
Now im gonna push it up her spine
Im gonna make her weep and whine,
-All because I love her...
Cause I
I have heard of how the cygnets cry,
I wonder how, how to make her cry that way
-Say can I make You shake
like cygnets shake, when cygnets break?
-Can it ever be the same?
Cause i,
i have heard the sound!!
He looked really tall
'couse his heels were high
they?d puffed him up like a
porcupine
so I lifted him up to mortal
heights
when ambition kicked me in
the eye
How could he act so
thaughtlessly
how could it ever come to be
that his great and genial fragile mind
appeared to be a cavity
A song, A kiss
A twist of fate
that made messiah overweight
with saint-like stigmata
only for show
Don?t stand in my way
Listen hear what I say
love comes in different ways
Now how could he act so
thaughtlessly
how could it ever come to be
that his great and genial
fragile mind
appeared to be a cavity
And then the enemy dropped the bomb
survivors there were none,
she said
and smiled, I jerked, I tried again
and failed
Don?t stand in my way
Listen hear what I say
Just stay were You are
You?re nothing but a fallen star
a cracked messiah is what you are
-But we can sing,
we can dance and do the mime
Oh, lay Your hand in mine
maybe I can make You smile
Yes, we can sing,
we can drink champagne all night
-Don?t be afraid,
we can lie in bed all day
and just talk about good times

People here in your neighbourhood
Act real cool but they dance no good
I don't care but I've been told
That all those people ain't got no soul
I kick them where the sun don't shine
And take you down to my side of town
I don't care what the others say
When I've found a new game to play

Clamour for glamour

And I know we were both too young way back when we had our thing
And you're not the one that I think of everytime that the telephone rings
And I know that what we had would not be called love by the ones we know
And I know it's been many years and a hundred love-affairs ago
I know all that so well, but I also do know this:
Calleth you, cometh I
And that's just how it is, and how it's always been
It's where my reason stops and something else comes in
I know it doesn't make sense, but still
Calleth you, cometh I
That's how it is...
And I know we became restrained everytime we were among friends
And I know how it was last time, and how bitterly it always ends
And I know we were both too young to know what real love would be like
And I know that our communication didn't always work out right
I know all that so well, but I also do know this:
Calleth you, cometh I
And that's just how it is, and how it's always been
It's where my reason stops and something else comes in
And I know it doesn't make sense, but still
Calleth you, cometh I
That's how it is...
And I've been waiting for this so long...
Waiting to sing this song, for you...
Calleth you, cometh I
And I've been waiting for this so long...
Waiting to sing this song, for you...

Thought I headed straight
Thought I had it waiting for me
Thought it was my fate
I was only waiting for the sky to fall down
The sword of Damocles
Or at least I thought it was
Had me on my knees
That's when I saw it had the shape of a cross
Aooo-ooooh
I'm ready to give it up (up up up up up up..)
Aooo-ooooh
I heard the call, but I won't follow
'Cause now I'm breaking up with God
I've had it with shame, I've had it with sorrow
Now I'm breaking up with God
And the devil too
Now I wanna dance the night away
Aoooo
Reach my heaven alive
A world that's black and white
Has evil haunting every corner
Demons in the night
And no love, no love for the one who ain't right
Aooo-ooooh
I heard the call, but I won't follow
'Cause now I'm breaking up with God
I've had it with shame, I've had it with sorrow
Now I'm breaking up with God
And the Devil too
Now I wanna dance the night away
Aoooo
Reach my heaven alive
Aaaah aaah aaah
Aaaah aaah aaah
(We'll lead you home...)
Aooo-ooooh
I heard the call, but I won't follow
'Cause now I'm breaking up with God
I've had it with shame, I've had it with sorrow
Now I'm breaking up with God
I heard their call, but I won't follow
'Cause now I'm breaking up with God
I've had it with shame, I've had it with sorrow
Now I'm breaking up with God
And the Devil too
Now I wanna dance the night away
Aoooo
Reach my heaven alive
Aoooo
Now I wanna touch you right away
Aoooo, oooh
Find my own heaven alive
Aooo-ooooh
I don't believe in angels
Well, at least not in yours
But I believe in the sensation
Of holding you close
And I don't believe in exile
At least not how you practise it
But I'm willing to regret
All the travels I made
All the triumphs in my book
'cause I'm afraid
That they took me away from you
-So, don't be upset
'cause your bottleneck barbiturate
Ain't helping you out
-It wasn't meant to be
A hole in the ground
Don't make me wait
'cause your bottleneck barbiturate
Is letting you down
'cause I know other ways
Of getting around
The lonely hour
I'm the one who used to tell you
That something is for free
And, that being lonely
Doesn't have to be a drag
(What a gag...)
Now if I was to envy you
You know it wouldn't be for real
Just a way to steal - or...
Can it be so
That we've made it our own?
-I don't know
But these walls seems to tell me
It ain't so
-So don't be upset
'cause your bottleneck barbiturate
Ain't helping you out
-It wasn't meant to be
A hole in the ground
Don't make me wait
'cause your bottleneck barbiturate
Is letting you down
'cause I know better ways
Of getting around
The lonely hour
Don't make me wait
Don't make me wait

I Got You On The Line

Words Being Spoken

Don't Bring It Down
Don't Bring It Down On Me
Baby Let It Be
If You Gonna Let It Rain

Don't Bring It Down
'Cause I Can't Endure The Pain
Don't Bring - Don't Bring It Down
Men have made the a-bombs
Men have made guns
The dreaded torture chambers
And the barbed wire fence
But of all the awful things that
Men did invent
The idea of ideal beauty is worth
The most contempt
And tell me who's a killer?
If we all concider
That emotion runs as deep as flesh
And the idea of ideals
That say what beauty is
Has sentenced so many to death
So, if beauty is your friend
You'd better go deceive it
Beauty is the beast, you better believe it
You're wasting your whole life
If you're trying to achieve it
Beauty is the beast
And you better believe it
Beauty is the beast
Beauty is the beast
Beauty is the beast
And you better believe it
Beauty is the beast
Beauty is the beast
Beauty is the beast
Beauty is the beast
Now, who can tell me how
And where to begin
In a world who thinks of ugly
As the cardinal sin
And constantly is talking about the beauty within
But looks up in the cellar everything that is grim
And tell me who's a killer?
If we all concider
That emotion runs as deep as flesh
And the idea of ideals
That say what beauty is
Has sentenced so many to death
Beauty is the beast
Beauty like a barbed wire fence
Beauty is the beast
Beauty like a barbed wire fence
Beauty is the beast
Beauty like a barbed wire fence
So, if beauty is your friend
You'd better go deceive it
Beauty is the beast, you better believe it
You're wasting your whole life
If you're trying to achieve it
Beauty is the beast
And you better believe it
So, if beauty is your friend
You'd better go deceive it
Beauty is the beast, you better believe it
You're wasting your whole life
If you're trying to achieve it
Beauty is the beast
And you better believe it
Beauty is the beast
Beauty is the beast
Beauty is the beast
And you better believe it
Beauty is the beast
Beauty is the beast
Beauty is the beast
And you better believe it
Beauty is the beast
Beauty is the beast
Beauty is the beast
And you better believe it
Beauty is the beast
Beauty is the beast
Beauty is the beast
With a yawn
The peaceful city goes to sleep.
"Its long til dawn"
Cries a siren in the street.
Cause the night
Is where the young bold lovers rule
A reign of spite
Daytimes they're hidden in the clouds
Click, clack, cluck!
When their feet clack to the ground,
Click, clack, cluck,
Oh, it makes a lovely sound
Cause the air is clean,
Where the dangers always near.
Its easy seen,
They're unfamiliar with fear
Cause boys,
Wanna know what makes men crawl,
What makes empires fall.
Wanna hear and see it all,
Cause it seems to them
A mystic and unbelievable.
Don L. Lee
And the sisters of the night
Is yours for free
If you dare to take a bite
Cause love is cheap
And nutritious in the streets.
We hide and seek
Its easy not to fall asleep.
When boys,
Wanna know what makes men crawl,
What makes empires fall.
Wanna hear and see it all,
Cause it seems to them
A mystic and unbelievable.
Lofty hills of laughs we climb
Sugary spices waits outside
Time is on our side
And we have everything to gain
But if you hear the mountains swing
And if you hear the angels roar
Let me know,
Ill play the chord,
There's a go
In our flow
That would make a strong man bow,
Oh, it's a marvel to be seen
How it flows
In chryzantemummy green.
But some do scorn,
Hearing the fleshy engines roar,
Afraid to show
Where their angelheads do grow
Cause boys,
Wanna know what makes men crawl,
What makes empires fall.
Wanna hear and see it all,
Cause it seems to them
How can I pretend that I like your new friend, when all I want is you?
How can I put up with him saying "buttercup", when all I want is you?
All I want is you
We been through all this before, it's not funny anymore, that all I want is you
It's getting quite absurd, the worst hang up ever heard of,that all I want is you
All I want is you
I keep telling you, I've got lots of things to do, I've got girlfriends old and new
You keep telling me that "It's crazy", and it's true that it's crazy, but I'm not, but
I keep telling you, I've got lots of things to do, I've got boyfriends old and new
'Cause starting up again would be nothing but insane and a messed-up thing to do..
It's painful to admit, but I've been feeling like shit, 'cause all I want is you
It's getting quite absurd, the worst hang up ever heard of, that all I want is you
All I want is you
No! I gotta get a hobby, something soothing for my soul, to get my mind off you
Yeah, I'm gonna get a job and a cute little dog, then look for someone new
And forget I ever wanted you
I keep telling you, I've got lots of things to do, I've got girlfriends old and new
You keep telling me that "It's crazy", and it's true that it's crazy, but I'm not, yet
I keep telling you, I've got lots of things to do, I've got boyfriends old and new
'Cause starting up again would be nothing but insane and a messed-up thing to do
How can I pretend that I like your new friend, when all I want is you?
It's getting quite absurd, the worst hang up ever heard of, that all I want is you
I am dangerous
'cause I'm ridiculous
And it seems to me
That I'm a threath to the
Whole society
'cause I ain't got no dignity
So if you want respect from me
-well, have it for free
It's worth nothing to me
And in your eyes I see
It's something else you seek
-it's fear that you wanna see
But I ain't to proud to bow
I ain't to proud to kneel
I ain't to proud for any gesture
That is meaningless to me
I ain't to proud to beg
I ain't to proud to run
'cause I don't want respect
I'd much rather have fun
If you think you're tough
When you're laughing at us
Well, it's no big buzz
-you can laugh if you must
'cause me and my friends
Like the way we look
And that's enough for us
And we don't want no fuss
But if you'd like to stay
Then to me it's OK
-and I don't say there's anything
Wrong with your head
Just wish you'd try to
Think for yourself instead
Thank God I was born in a time
When something new was about to start
Been shut down, I've been kicked around
Now there's an A-bomb in my heart
And I know that the times are rough
But I won't play dead while I'm alive
So hang on and we'll turn up the sound
Of all the anger in our hearts
'Cause right now under this fevering moon
I wanna take you for a ride
To the reasons you need,
Be it hunger or greed, it's ok
Tell me a joke and make me smile
Play me the part, be the star for a while
Absolutely no decorum what'soever, baby
Gimme a wink, let me know you're alive
Do what you will, we're only here for a while
Absolutely no decorum what'soever, baby
Absolutely no decorum what'soever, baby
And I know that the times are rough
But I won't play dead while I'm alive
For I long for the shock and the awe
Of speaking plainly from my mind
But I know there's a place downtown
Where they say there's a bug-free zone
So let's go, let's head out tonight
And let the words in our minds spill out
'Cause right now under this fevering moon
I wanna take you for a ride
To the reasons you need, be it hunger or greed
It's all and a little bit more as we come alive again
Tell me a joke and make me smile
Play me the part, be the star for a while
Absolutely no decorum what'soever, baby
Gimme a wink, let me know you're alive
Do what you will, we're only here for a while
Absolutely no decorum what'soever, baby
Absolutely no decorum what'soever, baby

I have never been mean
Never been as bad as it may have seemed
I have never been vile
Never been twisted or unkind
Maybe I'm working too hard,
Maybe I'm out of my mine
Maybe there will be a day
'cause I've been losing my way
For such a very long time
That now I no longer know
Where to go
Oh, I wish I was a virgin
A virgin like you
I wish I had distance
To put me through
I wish I had a burden
Wish that I had a dream
I wish I was as simple as you seem
Here we go again
When every direction leads to pain
And the one left I know
Is the one that I'm most certain
I don't want to go
Maybe there will be a day,
Maybe I'm out of my head
Maybe love wosen't for us
'couse I've been losing my touch
For such a very long time
That I no longer know very much at all
I wish I was a virgin
A virgin like you
I wish I had distance
To put me through
I wish I had a burden
Wish that I had a dream
I wish I was as simple as you seem
There was a time when I was a man
And everything was easy to understand
But now I'm floating like a shipwreck
Shrunk to fit in a foreign land
I have never been mean,
Threw caution as far as we could
and built a house there
surrounded by simple things
to make our lives hard
Our knight guarded the door
with the precision of a guillotine
tried to hold 'em back
but it only served to lead
Keep building
you'll get there
even if you're not supposed to change
the more you expand the closer you get to breaking
Falling from the sky, guests arrive
so drag 'em in and prop 'em up
come on baby bear and don't be scared
it's gonna be a new suit morning
From the sky, guests arrive
so drag 'em in and prop 'em up
come on little one and get the gun
it's gonna be a new suit morning
The walls they start the giving in
a thousand hearts stop beating
but you'll wake up in a new suit tomorrow
All this open land
on top of the best of both worlds
was too good to last
past a photograph
so we stood still and whispered
with our legs planted firmly
bought the house to see how it burned
that smoke turned the walls into windows
brought some wine that made us spill our guts to slim down
Multiplying by the minute
even if your house can't hold the weight
the more you let in, the closer you get to living
With...house...caved...in...nouveau...Noah's ark...
set sail...a ship full of beasts...hunts for new home...
months pass...hits shore...is this truth or.........
