A great bear in the woods
He wants all he sees
From the snakes in the grass
To the chimpanzees
We all know it ain't fair
Well, it's a jungle out there
So go, bang your drum
Mr. Big Baboon
What monkey see
Monkey will do
Boom, boom, boom, boom
Mr. Big Baboon
Mad dog on the prowl
Sees the bear in the trees
They can never be friends
They're natural enemies
So you better beware
Well, it's a jungle out there
So go, bang your drum
Mr. Big Baboon
What monkey see
Monkey will do
Boom, boom, boom, boom
Mr. Big Baboon
Mr. Big Baboon
Sees the dog and the bear
It's a three way tie
It's a stalemate there
Facin' off eye to eye
Well, it's a jungle out there
So go, bang your drum
Mr. Big Baboon
What monkey see
Monkey will do
Boom, boom, boom, boom
Mr. Big Baboon
So go, bang your drum
Mr. Big Baboon
You can all join in
Monkey see monkey do
Boom, boom, boom, boom
Picture yourself in a boat on a river
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly
A girl with kaleidoscope eyes
Cellophane flowers of yellow and green
Towering over your head
Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes
And she's gone
Follow her down to a bridge by a fountain
Where rocking horse people eat marshmallow pies
Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers
That grow so incredibly high
Newspaper taxies appear on the shores
Waiting to take you away
Climb in the back with your head in the clouds
And you're gone
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Surrender into the night
Silently take my hand
Nobody knows what's inside us
Nobody understands
They handed us down a dream
To live in this lonely town
But nobody hears the music
Only the echo of a hollow sound
Where do the children go?
Between the bright night and the darkest day
Where do the children go?
And who's that deadly piper who leads them away
Together we make our way
Passengers on a train
Whisper a secret forever
Promises in the rain
We're leaving it all behind
While castles are falling down
We're going where no one can find us
And if there's a heaven
We'll find it somehow
Where do the children go
Between the bright night and the darkest day
Where do the children go
Did you think I could ever forget
The night by the Arlington flame
In the silence I heard it through streets so deserted
You whispered and called me by name
Did you think I could ever forget
That powerful look in your eye
Where Lincoln stood strong there
You held me so long there that night on the fourth of July
I hope and I pray that you'll be here with me
When the mountains that rise tumble into the sea
And the kingdoms that come set us free on our way
Hope you'll be here with me home on Washington's day
Now when this world and that world collide
And the powers that be hit you low
When you're feeling so small in the face of it all
And you're lost on eternity row
When the wars that men wage are all through
And their monuments put on display
Tell the hungry and stranded the poor empty handed
We'll meet them on Washington's day
I hope and I pray that you'll be here with me
When the mountains that rise tumble into the sea
And the kingdoms that come set us free on our way
Hope you'll be here with me home on Washington's day, yeah
Did you think I could ever forget
The night by the Arlington flame
Where the monuments laugh over thousands of years
You whispered and called me by name
When that sun goes down at the end of the day
You know I'll always remember
You who were tender to me on Washington's day
I hope and I pray that you'll be here with me
When the mountains that rise tumble into the sea
And the kingdoms that come set us free on our way
Hope you'll be here with me home on Washington's day, yeah
Well I hope and I'll pray that you'll be here with me
When the mountains that rise tumble into the sea
And the visions that come are the visions that stay
Hope you'll be here with me home on Washington's day
Hope you'll be here with me home on Washington's day
Until you dare to go where no man has ever been before
To loeave behind the safety that you struggled for
And to get a taste of madness
Until you dare
To open up your heart and get it spat upon
Drink the wine and smell that sadness
Take the goodness with the badness
Until you dare
How will I know how far you might have gone
How high you might have climbed, haw hard you might have fallen
How will I learn how good it feels to be alive
How you gonna learn how to fly when you're so busy crawling
God knows where
Until you dare to go where your mind has never been before
To know who you are and what you're living for
And break the ties that bind you
Until you dare
To open up your eyes and see what's going on
See the light you left behind you
Go ahead and let it blind you
Until you dare
How will I know how far you might have gone
How high you might have climbed, haw hard you might have fallen
How will I learn how good it feels to be alive
How you gonna learn how to fly when you're so busy crawling
Until you dare
How will I know how far you might have gone
How high you might have climbed, haw hard you might have fallen
How will I learn how good it feels to be alive
How you gonna learn how to fly when you're so busy crawling
How much more will you take before you make your move
How you gonna learn how to live
Instead of just simply dying
The night we stole the moon, a pirate's paradise
The light along the ocean was in your eyes
It ended all too soon, it started suddenly
The bridge was almost open when we arrived
And when I thought I was lost you carried me across
Laughin' through the fallout zone
You touched me in a way I'd never known
And in the salt-scented air I followed you there
You taught me everything I know
I'm goin' down again South Ferry Road
We found a place to land, a space-age hideaway
Safe inside the shelter, just you and I
The night we stole the moon, you gave it back to me
The light along the ocean was out goodbye
And when I thought I was lost you carried me across
Laughin' through the fallout zone
You touched me in a way I'd never known
And in the salt-scented air I followed you there
You taught me everything I know
I'm goin' down again South Ferry Road
Oh, but even still, now and then, I remember you when
Laughin' all the way back home
You touched me in a way I'd never known
And all the others remain just faces in a game
Remind me of a place I know
I'm goin' down again South Ferry Road
When I feel I got lost you carried me across
Back to everything I know
What happened to the heart that I gave you?
What are you hiding in your chest these days?
You wanted somebody to save you
I wanted someone who could not be saved
Living in the shadow of Jesus
It's so hard to bear your cross every day
Was it easy for you, Christ, it's murdering me
Now I'm down on my knees with a reason to pray
You tell me experience has changed you
From where I'm looking that's not hard to see
You wanted out and how could I blame you
When I'm not looking are you blaming me
Living in the shadow of Jesus
It's so hard to bear your cross every day
Was it easy for you, Christ, it's murdering me
Now I'm down on my knees with a reason to pray
We've shifted into meaningless chatter
This kind of talking could go on for days
We've been through the heart of the matter
Don't make no difference at the end of the day
Living in the shadow of Jesus
It's so hard to bear your cross every day
Was it easy for you, Christ, it's murdering me
Hush
little baby
don't cry like that
God's gonna buy you a cadillac.
He's chosen you do do his will
you can spread the word in your coupe de ville.
So jump in the river and learn to swim
God's gonna wash away all yovr sins.
And if you still can't see the light
God's gonna buy you a satellite.
Look to the heavens and see it shine
heals the sick and leads the blind
Tune it in and hear it say
it's counting down to judgement day.
So jump in the river and learn to swim
God's gonna wash away all your sins. . .
Hey satellite man
your time has come
your word received by everyone.
And should you fall
well
that's okay
you love the ones that you betray.
So jump in the river and learn to swim
God's gonna wash away all your sins.
And when at last you see the light
God's gonna by you a satellite.
So iumF in the river and learn to swim
God's gonna wash away all your sins. . .
And when at last you see the light
God's gonna buy you a satel[ite.
God's gonna buy you a satellite!
Every endless night has a dawning day
Every darkest sky has a shining ray
And it shines on you, baby, can't you see
You're the only one who can shine for me
It's a private emotion
That fills you tonight
And a silence falls between us
As the shadows steal the light
And wherever you may find it
Wherever it may lead
Let your private emotion come to me
Come to me, come to me, come to me
When your soul is tired and your heart is weak
Do you think of love as a one way street?
Well, it runs both ways, open up your eyes
Can't you see me here, how can you deny
It's a private emotion
That fills you tonight
And a silence falls between us
As the shadows steal the light
And wherever you may find it
Wherever it may lead
Let your private emotion come to me
Come to me, come to me
Every endless night has a dawning day
Every darkest sky has a shining ray
It takes a lot to laugh as your tears go by
But you can find me here till your tears run dry
Well, it's a private emotion
That fills you tonight
And a silence falls between us
As the shadows steal the light
And wherever you may find it
Wherever it may lead
Let your private emotion come to me
Let your private emotion come to me
Let your private emotion come to me
It's a sleepless night
she's calling your name
It's a lonely ride
I know how you want her.
Again and again you're chasin' a dream
yeah
But Johnny my friend
she's not what she seems.
Johnny B.
how much there is to see
Just open your eyes and listen to me.
Straight ahead
a green light turns to red
why can't you see
Johnny B.?
And when you drive her home
is she sittin' real close?
Does she make you weak?
Well
that's the way that she wants you.
You're strung out again
she's taken you over
You've been here before
why can't you let go?
Johnny B.
how much there is to see
. . .
And when she calls you name
my sweet Johnny B.
you can drive all night and vou know she'll be waiting
To love you again
her kiss is her poison
Forever inside you
wherever you go.
Johnny B.
how much there is to see
. . .
Johnny B.
how much there is to see
. . .
can't you see
Johnny B.?
See the stars that shine and give us light
One less star is in the sky tonight
Words alone won't keep our tears away
But I know that star will shine again someday
And Heaven laughs when we say goodbye
It ain't so far to the other side
Someday soon we will meet again
Say it over and over and over til' then
Dream tonight about a last embrace
Close my eyes and I will see your face
Dreams alone won't keep our tears away
But in my heart I know we'll meet again someday
And Heaven laughs when we say goodbye
It ain't so far to the other side
Someday soon we will meet again
Say it over and over and over til' then
And so we laugh when we say goodbye
It ain't so far to the other side
And Heaven knows we will meet again
Say it over and over and over again
From everlast to everlasting
From sea to shinin' sea
How much did we take from each other?
Here's one from the heart and one more for free
And Heaven laughs when we say goodbye
It ain't so far to the other side
Someday soon we will meet again
Say it over and over and over til' then
And so we laugh when we say goodbye
It ain't so far to the other side
And Heaven knows we will meet again
Say it over and over and over again
Say it over and over and over again
It was a night to remember, a fire down below
Couldn't hide from the heat there was nowhere to go
And the cat on the roof, she's running for cover
Deep in the jungle of a hard rockin' summer
I was a young Romeo tryin' to find Juliet
I was hot on the trail of my own silhouette
And the cat on the roof, she's crazy from hunger
She waits in the shadows of a hard rockin' summer
And then the sky started falling and night hit the ground
Thought I heard someone calling, the ghost of a sound
Now that the cat on the roof has captured the hunter
Deep in the jungle of a hard rockin' summer
It was a night to remember, you know what I mean
Now it's late in September and she's just a dream
And the cat on the roof, she's back under cover
I was walkin' real fast, I was too scared to run
Past this lonesome graveyard where the highway meets the sun
Well, that old graveyard's been around since the civil war
I had a funny feelin' that I'd been here before
I heard a voice, it was talkin' real slow
She said, "It's time to make a choice, is it yes or is it no?"
I said, "Okay, do what you wanna do"
Then she took me to a world, a world I never knew
Where we danced so close, we were teenage ghosts
We were doin' that graveyard waltz
After all is said and done, we were just too young
To be doin' that graveyard waltz, graveyard waltz
Next thing I knew the first dance was done
But this magic carpet ride had just begun
And Heaven only knows where she learned to drive
Right between the tombstones and the ones still left alive
And then that old soul band began to play
In triple time, she was begging me to stay
And when the masquerade had started up again
She said this is the night, the night that never ends
Where we danced so close, we were teenage ghosts
We were doin' that graveyard waltz
After all is said and done, we were just too young
To be doin' that graveyard waltz, graveyard waltz
Doin' that graveyard waltz
Where we danced so close, we were teenage ghosts
We were doin' that graveyard waltz
After all is said and done, we were just too young
To be doin' that graveyard waltz, graveyard waltz
Where we danced so close, we were teenage ghosts
We were doin' that graveyard waltz
After all is said and done, we were just too young
To be doin' that graveyard waltz, graveyard waltz
Doin' that graveyard waltz
Doin' that graveyard waltz
We were just too young
To be doin' that graveyard waltz, graveyard waltz
They took the beat away, replaced it with machines
They took the words away and threw 'em on a screen
They turned the switches on and handed us the phones
They blasted out our ears with endless monotones
Can you feel it, can you feel it
From a million miles away?
Can you hear it, can you hear it
Gettin' louder every day?
Give the music back, give the music back
Give the music back before it's gone
Give the music back, give the music back
Put the music back into the song
They drove the blues away and banished Rock 'n' Roll
They cut away the heart and sacrificed the soul
They closed the disco's down and shut off MTV
They locked the music up and threw away the key
Can you feel it, can you feel it
From a million miles away?
Can you hear it, can you hear it
Gettin' louder every day?
Give the music back, give the music back
Give the music back before it's gone
Give the music back, give the music back
Put the music back into the song
And now a silence fills the rooms where once we sang
And all is quiet where the chimes of freedom rang
Somewhere a pirate ship is crashing through the waves
Sending a signal out, a ballad to the brave
Give the music back, give the music back
Give the music back before it's gone
Give the music back, give the music back
Put the music back where it belongs
Give the music back
(Oh, give it back)
Give the music back
(Oh, give it back)
Give the music back before it's gone
Give the music back, give the music back
Put the music back into the song
She was the fire and I was the engine
One of a thousand built to last
She was the fire dancing with hunger
She knew I would follow till I ran out of gas
Lost in the summer of burning desire
She lit the night for miles away
Out of control, yeah, she was the fire
And off in the distance she called my name
Engine 999, I'll met you on the roads we used to ride
Engine 999, a thousand dreams we left behind
She was the fire and I was her prisoner
One of a thousand tied to her flame
She was the fire dancing with hunger
And the way she danced was never the same
I was a fool to try and contain her
One of a thousand consumed in her path
Running like wild yeah she was the fire
I was the engine she was calling back
Engine 999, I'll met you on the roads we used to ride
Engine 999, a thousand dreams we left behind
She was the fire and I was the engine
She was the one I couldn't tame
Out of control, yeah, she was the fire
And still I can hear her call my name
Engine 999, I'll met you on the roads we used to ride
Engine's running hot, I'm running back to you
Caught up in your trap all the secret things you do
Headlight flashes bright, do you remember when
We used to drive all night? Well, I'm coming back again
You told me we live in the shadows
You told me to hide from the light
But the last thing you said
Keeps running through my head
Just don't take my car out tonight
Somewhere there's a place, a road without a sign
I'm standing at the gate in a dream from out of time
Your body brushes mine, I try to catch my breath
You whisper in my ear, ooh, there's danger up ahead
You told me we live in the shadows
You told me to hide from the light
But the last thing you said
Keeps running through my head
Just don't take my car out tonight
Headlight flashes bright, I watch you drive away
The things we always feel are the things we never say
My engines running hot, gotta keep on pushing through
I'm burning up inside, yeah, I'm burning up for you
You told me we live in the shadows
You told me to hide from the light
But the last thing you said
Keeps running through my head
Just don't take my car out tonight
You told me we live in the shadows
You told me to hide from the light
But the last thing you said
Keeps running through my head
Just don't take my car out tonight
Just don't take my car out tonight
Zig zag shadows on the floor
From the window to the door
Never felt like this before
Zig zag, connecting me to you
After all that we've been through
If it was love I never knew
But, oh, how I needed you tonight
And, no, I ain't looking for your sympathy
I just can't take living like some refugee
Oh, oh, oh, deliver me
Zig zag, look upon my face
To another time, another place
Another world in any case
Zig zag painting on the wall
Andy Worehall I recall
You and me and that was all
And, oh, how I needed you tonight
And, no, I ain't looking for your sympathy
I just can't take living like some refugee
Oh, oh, oh, deliver me
Oh, oh, oh, deliver me
Oh, oh, oh, deliver me
Oh, oh, oh, deliver me
Oh, oh, oh, deliver me
Zig zag patterns of our days
Like a straight line through a maze
Love it comes but never stays
Zig zag, deliver me to you
After all that we've been through
I didn't know how much I knew
And, oh, how I needed you tonight
No, but I ain't looking for your sympathy
I just can't take living like some refugee
Oh, oh, oh, deliver me
Oh, oh, oh, deliver me
Oh, oh, oh, deliver me
Oh, oh, oh, deliver me
Oh, oh, oh, deliver me
I just can't take living like some refugee
Oh, oh, oh, deliver me
Deliver me
Give me what you can tonight
Time is all we have to play
Tell me you can't live without me
Tell me every day by day by day
Day by day
Nothing lasts forever, only fades away
Day by day
Give me what you can tonight
I'm back tomorrow anyway
Show me some appreciation
Show me every day by day by day
Day by day
The chance you gotta take's the price you gotta pay
Day by day
And if you break down, I will remind you
Ooh of what you were yesterday
You can break down, I'll be behind you
Every, every, every, every
Day by day
Day by day, day by day
Nothing lasts forever, only fades away
Day by day, day by day
Show me some appreciation
Oh I can't stand anticipation
Day by day, day by day
The chance you gotta take's the price you gotta pay
Day by day, day by day
Day by day, day by day
With every step I take
I get one step in step with you
With every move you make
I can't wait to make my move
Got your voice buzzing in my head
And a roller coaster down my spine
Well, don't you know that boys will be boys
And I could never live my life without you
Sometimes you make me feel
Like I got a heart full of toys
Oh baby, boys will be boys
Tell me what can I do
'Cause I can't change the things I said
I can't help the way I feel
Or what goes on inside my head
Bad news and broken dreams
In time will fade away
Well, don't you know that boys will be boys
But baby, I'm a man since the day I found you
Sometimes you make me feel
Like I got a heart full of toys
Oh baby, boys will be boys
And don't you know that girls will be girls
And I just wanna live anyway that I want to
From either side of the fence
Vivre la difference
So help me, boys will be boys
Got your voice buzzing in my head
And a roller coaster down my spine
Well, don't you know that boys will be boys
Your buddy Sam's a bit confused
He don't know what to do
Getting tired of hearing your demands
He's got the whole world in his hands
And you can drive the outside lane
Last car on the gravy train
You can scream and you can moan
But you can't get blood from a stone
I'm working hard to pay the rent
And support my government
Built the highways and the railroad tracks
Now we're not giving up 'til they give it all back
You can laugh but it's no joke
Gotta fix the thing that's broke
There's no meat only bone
And you can't get blood from a stone
You lived on Vine Street
I lived at home
The music was all that we had of our own
No satisfaction, no dance in my car
But I had the keys to the world in my beat up guitar
With my beat up guitar
You and I will ride away
From the town that rocked the nation
Philadelphia, PA
Kensington station, we sat on the tracks
I wrote you a song
The one you knew it was flat
You laughed when they told me
You won't get too far
If you spend the rest of your life with that beat up guitar
With my beat up guitar
You and I will ride away
From the town that rocked the nation
Philadelphia, PA
And I may leave this place tomorrow
But my soul is here to stay
In the town that rocked the nation
Philadelphia, PA
You can't get to Heaven on the Frankford L
You can't get to Heaven on the Frankford L
You can't get to Heaven on the Frankford L
You can't get to Heaven on the Frankford L
Oh, you can't get to Heaven on the Frankford L
'Cause the Frankford L goes straight to Franklin
It's just another stop till I find my destination
With my beat up guitar
You and I will ride away
From the town that rocked the nation
Philadelphia, PA
And with that beat up guitar
We're comin' home again someday
To the town that rocked the nation
Philadelphia, PA
Na na na, na na na na
Na na na, na na na
And I may leave this place tomorrow
But my soul is here to stay
In the town that rocked the nation
Philadelphia, PA
In the town that rocked the nation
Philadelphia, PA
She was a be-bop baby on a hard day's night.
She was hangin' on Johnny
he was holdin' on tight.
I could feel her coming from a mile away.
There was no use talking
there was nothing to say
When the band began to play and play -
And we danced
like a wave on the ocean
romanced.
We were liars in love and we danced
Swept away for a moment by chance.
And we danced and danced and danced.
I met my be-bop baby at the Union hall.
She could dance all night and shake the paint off the wall.
But when I saw her smile across a crowded room
Well
I knew we have to leave the party soon.
As the band began to play out of tune -
And we danced
like a wave on the ocean
romanced. . . .
And we danced -
The endless beat
she's walkin' my way
Hear the music fade when she says:
Are we getting too close
do we care to get closer?
The room is spinning as she whispers my name.
And we danced
like a wave on the ocean
romanced. . . .
And we danced
like a wave on the ocean
romanced. . . .
And danced and danced and danced and danced and danced -
And we danced
and we danced
and we danced
and we danced
There's always a place
Some say that it's heaven
Where someday we'll find
Some kind of escape
But one thing I know
We'll find it together
As long as you're there
There's always a place
A faraway land
A desert oasis
An island of sun
And a forest of rain
Don't need to look far
Just into your smile
As long as you're there
There's always a place
And if there's always a place we can run to
There's always a place we belong
And if there's always a dream, it can only come true
As long as we keep holding on
There's always a place
(Always)
There's always a place
(Always)
Yeah
There's always a place
When I am way beyond lonely
With nothing to hide
And nothing to prove
There's always a space
That's there for me only
I know deep inside
The place is with you
There's never a time
To question our feelings
There's hardly a word
That seems out of place
We'll find our way home
We find it together
As long as you're there
There's always a place
And if there's always a place we can run to
There's always a place we belong
And if there's always a dream, it can only come true
As long as we keep holding on
There's always a place
(Always)
Ooh and if there's always a place we can run to
(Always)
There's always a place we belong
And if there's always a dream, it can only come true
As long as we keep holding on
There's always a place
(Always)
There's always a place
(Always)
There's always a place
(Always)
Holy Moses met the Pharao
yeah
he tried to set him straight.
looked him in the eye: let my people go.
Holy Moses on the mountain
high above the golden calf
went to get the ten Commandments
he's just gonna break them in half.
All you zombies hide your faces
all you people in the street
all you sittin' in high places
the pieces gonna fall on you.
No one ever spoke to Noah
they all laughed at him instead;
Working on his ark
working all by himself.
Only Noah saw it comine
forty days and forty nights.
Took his sons and daughters with him
they were the Isrealites !
All you zombies hide your faces
all you people in the street
all you sittin' in high places
the pieces gonna fall on you.
Holy Father
what's the matter ? Where have all your children gone ?
Sittin' in the dark
living all by themselves
you don't have to hide anymore !
All you zombies show your faces
all you people in the street
all you sittin' in high places
the pieces gonna fall on you.
All you zombies show your faces
all you people in the street
all you sittin' in high places
You better come in, baby
Outside it's pouring rain
My heart is beating faster
I know you feel the same
When you call my name I dive into you
Kiss me one more time I slide into you
Look into my eyes I'm dying for you, baby, oh baby
We could be driftin' away
In the middle of the day and into the night
There's nothing I'd rather do
Than doing nothing with you
We could be driftin' away
I feel you hesitating
Don't even wonder why
You gotta trust this feeling
Don't be afraid to fly
Then you call my name I dive into you
Kiss me one more time I slide into you
Look into my eyes I'm dying for you, baby, oh baby
We could be driftin' away
In the middle of the day and into the night
There's nothing I'd rather do
Than doing nothing with you
We could be driftin' away
Dream, dream away
Sometimes I just want to be left alone
Move your big head
It's my way go and get your own
[Elijah Blue sings:]
I don't care about the things you do
I don't care about the things you do
I don't care about the things you do
I don't care about, I don't care about
All my friends can't relate
No time off to hesitate
To my head touch my face
Two steps back you're in my space
One more impossible to position
Got the high score
Forgot to put the letterage
[Elijah Blue sings:]
I don't know about the things you do
I don't know about the things you do
I don't know about the things you know about
The things I know about the things you do
All my friends can't relate
No time off to hesitate
Feel my head touch my face
Two steps back you're in my space
[Elijah Blue sings:]
The valetting that we make
Or the illegal pictures on the net
Remember how we told you well
And that your playground is a gate to hell
I don't know about the things you do
I don't know about the things you do
I don't know about the things you do
I don't know care about
All my friends can't relate
No time off to hesitate
Feel my head touch my face
Two steps back you're in my space
You stink
[Elijah Blue sings:] I don't know about the things you
Touching me
[Elijah Blue sings:] I don't know about the things you
Can you say
[Elijah Blue sings:]
I don't care about the things you do
[Mark sings in background:]
Sometimes
I don't care about the things you do
[Mark sings in background:] I just want to be left
alone
I don't care about the things you do
[Mark sings in background:] Move your big head
I don't care about the things you do
[Mark sings in background:] It's my way go and get your
I don't care about, I don't care about
All my friends can't relate
No time off to hesitate
Feel my head touch my face
Two steps back you're in my space

Strange how you find out later
We move from room to room like ants,
In packs of hundreds we do crawl,
To hide from danger is our aim,
We must disguise ourselves like ants.
No more of that, no more of that,
We'll fall one hundred times before,
We succumb to your viscous ways,
Won't sit in line and wait to fall.
And I'm too small to be your friend,
I don't live up to the standards that you expect,
Please don't fret I wont try it again,
I won't take it to heart,
Won't look back at how things were before,
I may be small compared to you,
Take a walk in my shoes you can see for yourself,
And you will fall
We move from room to room like ants,
In packs of hundreds we do crawl,
And holding on to distant dreams,
It crushes us, crushes us all.
You don't tell us we'll let you know,
No longer something you dictate,
To hide from danger is our aim,
If I was to tell you a story, would you keep it to yourself and not tell anybody else?
Like you've done before.
If I was to pass you on a secret would you lock it up and keep it in a room full of keys So it wouldn't get lost?
Well, I was walking down the road one day when I spied a building that had fallen to decay.
Underneath all the rocks and rubble and memories, were hundreds and billions of forgotten stories.
So I crawled inside and I gathered them up and I read what they said like anybody would
To my surprise they just happened to be a complete mirror image of my life story
Do you realise that when you are young, you tend to take for granted what everybody's done?
Do you realise that when you are young, you tend to turn an eye from the things that mean the most and,
Do you realise that when you are young, the things you take so seriously mean nothing at all
Do you realise that when you are young, the stories you recall are the influential sort.
So I, I went and told you that story, didn't keep it to yourself went and told everybody else. To my surprise.
But I, I didn't let it get me down, I don't often take these stories as they clearly seem to sound. Because most of the time they're lies.
Believe it or not I retraced my steps and I carried on walking back to where we first met, the stories we shared strewn all over the ground. The stories we shared, I wish I'd never found.
But I glued them back together, hoping everything would be better, and we'd be back together. Everything would be fine.
There's no room for mistakes here we're always being watched,
No loop holes, no way out of here and the clocks they never stop,
And don't go trying to disguise yourself because that won't help at all,
You're only making things much better for those who sit and watch you fall.
And they say work will make you free, but no it won't,
And that's that lie they told to me, but no it won't,
They say work will make you free, but no it won't,
And that's that lie they told to me.
Enlighten me please
She sat outside that echoing hall recollecting not a thing at all,
And everything was clearly there, but it wasn't for her,
A word of torture stalks this girl, tears stream so much no more impearl,
This is so much more than you bargained for.
It's all locked inside of that wooden drawer,
And that axe you picked ain't that good for fixing all those chores in that wooden drawer.
Files and files
Your lying Those keys you have those keys are mine!
No you are Those keys you have those keys are mine!
Have you ever sat in a crowded room where the mumbling secrets are none too cool?
And that constant buzz of the absent love is the dreaded thing in that crowded room.
Then when voices rise, well it's no surprise, cause there's nothing new, nothing new to do,
Its no walk in the park with no light
I'm impatient and keen and I'm willing to fight,
I need help to carry on
And get through this mess that I'm working on.
Where do I start, do I finish?
Is it easy, is it hard, is it right, is it wrong?
How many questions am I allowed to ask,
Before I fall down and I'm carried along.
I am reading in the dark of this lighted room,
Thinking of my options that will not begin to bloom,
It's getting more complicated,
By the minute.
When you're looking outside at that tall grey brick wall,
And a bird catches gaze, falls and stumbles, then squalls,
You can't help but think of those unfortunate lies,
That can bury themselves but will suddenly arise.
How many crows must you count and then stall
Must you think about carefully then lose and so ball?
When lies do arise can you hide them with truth,
I have nothing more to say to you,
Open your eyes,
Open your mind,
And maybe then I'll consider conversing again
Open your eyes,
Open your mind.
There's nothing I can give to you,
You'll take it as it is, and turn it into a tragedy.
There's no point trying to talk to me, words of glass will only cut my skin,
And there's no room for scars here. Words of glass will only cut my skin.
Pick up a thorn and frame it, so one day you will realise, your speech is a privilege.
Loose it one day, and you will regret it.
Heartbeats, in sync with the clock,
In time with my steps,
Buried in my chest.
Disguised by a layer of flesh, that's fading away,
From the constant gaze of your intruding ways.
I'll try to hide
And I will go,
Far away from here,
And I will run,
As far as I have to.
Sinking, deep beneath the surface,
Trying to realise my purpose, have you brought me here to show me off?
Inside I feel like I am drowning and everyone around me floating on their constant controlled thoughts.
I remember when, when we sat outside,
Digesting "nourriture" that didn't suit their eyes.
We stood our ground, and took it as a layer to our shells,
And still you laugh at me. Why?
Remember when we thought we'd known each other, all our lives?
Those are the types that you can never really lose, and when you fell into a trap,
I knew you more than you knew you.
I need to go, I need to get away from everything
I'll have to run to get away from here
I need to go, I need to get away from everything
Just for a while, I need to get away from here.
And so we slowly slowly climbed over a ladder with no other side
And so I'll plead with you one last time,
Just to consider my point of view,
The path on which you walk will never fail to keep you safe,
They told me that when I was younger
Lying leaves you blind
And don't leave anyone behind
And all those things that make you stronger
Will have you lying on the floor
Think you can't take it anymore, so
It's alright not to feel okay
It's alright not to feel okay
They told me that when I get older
That there'll be less time to prepare
And room for someone to compare
And now the ache is getting colder
And I can see it in your face
No wish to settle in this place, so
It's alright not to feel okay
It's alright not to feel okay
And I promise I'm here when you need me
Some people tell you that you just need to get up and grow up
Forget it, forgive what you're hearing
Some people just don't understand what it feels like to fall
So don't fall
So don't fall
So don't fall (It's alright not to feel okay)
So don't fall
They told me that when I was younger
Lying leaves you blind
And don't leave anyone behind
And don't lose sight of what's to live for
Because there's truth in what they say
It's alright not to feel okay
It's alright not to feel okay (It's alright not to feel okay)
It's alright not to feel okay (It's alright not to feel okay)
It's alright not to feel okay
When there is no more space to grow
Build yourself a wall
Pile it high with books and climb (climb)
You can move further on your own
Nothing will hold you back
No chance of being left behind
You will spend much more time on your own
All alone
You will spend much more time on your own
All alone
When there are no more walls to climb
Build yourself a plane
Sit yourself inside and fly (fly)
Remind yourself how far you've come
With no one on your back
Nobody there to waste your time (time)
You will spend much more time on your own
All alone
You will spend much more time on your own
All alone
Somewhere out there, there's a place called home
You'll never know until you get there
Out there, there's a place called home
When there is no more space to grow
Build yourself a wall
Pile it high with books and climb
You know one day the end will come
With nothing left to say
And nobody to change your mind
Dreaming my dreams in which you keep attending
Never give up until you reach perfection
Soon you will realize the world is ending
You will follow through
You'll follow through
You'll follow through
Somewhere out there, there's a place called home
You'll never know until you get there
when i leave
and go away
do you see it
do you feel me?
when you runaway
away away
you don't love me
me myself and i
know what we want
but they try to force us aside(?)
the feelings that we try to hide(?)
and we grow
grow
so when i leave
and go away
we're slipping and no words can find me
when you run away
away away
you don't love me
me myself and i
know what we want
but they try to force us aside
the feelings that we try to hide
and we grow
grow
grow grow
vocalizing
I'm running in circles around money trees,
Green eyed monsters in parallel worlds,
Chocolate lawnmowers and currents for keys,
Little children with cotton for curls.
I dream of this frequently, yes while I'm asleep,
It's surreal yet its real it's absurd,
One or minute or six, yes that's how they affix, or is it?
The science of sleep
And now you look at me and think I'm just the same,
Would you forget it, never,
Is it forbidden? No its not, its not forbidden,
It's been three weeks today since they went and ran away, not leaving things behind they were the things they had to find anyway
And the wires kept running, and the buildings kept on growing, and the sky it disappeared into the pocket of your ignorant ways
If I had left with you, would I have rapidly returned in a day or two?
Or would you still be here,
Na na na na
Well I've been thinking of these thoughts lying in my head and I've been contemplating whether I should follow you instead of sitting here and wasting time, watching buildings burn and making memories rhyme.
If I was to leave tomorrow and join you on your quest for everything,
Would that be alright with you or would you turn your head and wave.
If I could change everything, if I could turn back time and fix all my mistakes,
Would everything be better, or would it stay the same cause life's full of them anyway.
It's been three weeks today, since they went and ran away.
If the walls fell down would you build them back,
Though he promised again that he'd surely attack.
If he cut you off would you love him still,
When he said that he cared, yet his actions were different.
And please don't tell me that you're scared when you're not,
I've seen those tragedies before, they're not half as bad as what you've got.
You could have backed away before.
I'll give you one last chance but please don't ask for any more.
Would you go?
So you've turned to me, like you've done before,
When the worlds turned bad knocking at your door.
And those friends that you had have abandoned ship.
