There's a road with two yellow lines
They go on for years
And when people there smile and wave
It's not like, back home
In their doorway, where the evening sky
Lights up my room, lights up my room
Lights up my room, lights up my
But times are fierce and times are fine
Yeah, it goes that way
But, down some highway
Yeah, down some lonely road
In that old fashioned way
In the garden, yeah, where the evening sky
Lights up my room, lights up my room
Lights up my room, lights up my
But the darkness let's him see here
All of the people they never knew
So, float into space
Falling through puddles and places I've never been
Will my soul be angry?
When you die do you feel alright?
In the garden, yeah, where the evening sky
Lights up my room, lights up my room
Lights up my room, lights up my
There's a road with two yellow lines
It goes on for years
And when people there smile and wave
Oh, it's not like, back home
In their doorway, where the evening sky
Lights up my room, lights up my room
Sitting here, staring out the window
Traffic always makes me feel like I'm coming home
Cold blood bleeding, still at least I'm breathing
Patiently waiting, clinging on to my mobile phone
Cracked skull with a creepy mind inside
I'm planning the greatest of escapes, you know
Patiently waiting in the line
Soon I'm gonna stand up, yeah, I'm gonna rear up
And there's no escape, lonely planet
Oh, it's too late, lonely planet
Cold blood bleeding, still at least I'm breathing
Patiently waiting, soon I'm gonna take control
Cracked skull with a creepy mind inside
I'm planning the greatest of escapes
Patiently waiting in the line
Soon I'm gonna stand up, yeah, I'm gonna rear up
And there's no escape, lonely planet
So take the fast road and get goin' now
Before you leave no trace
Time in this place was closer than my friends
Remember my eyes not my face
Ain't no sense has no sense it invents
Another man unfolds
I'm standing next to myself the sink
Staring into the black hole
I panic at the quiet times
Decisions at the door
I panic at the quiet times
Fate leaves me to much more
On the inside it hurts less
The outside seems so cold
I need to climb, gotta find some tenderness
Before I get too old
Sun come from behind, it hurts my eyes
It dries my hair so nice
I watch the boiling sea, meet the open sky
But my soul still feels like it's ice
I panic at the quiet times
Decisions at the door
A panic at the quiet times
Fate leaves me to much more
I panic at the quiet times
Decisions at the door
A panic at the quiet times
I'm the stone
You've just thrown into the ocean
How many stones have you thrown?
Turin' brown
I'm going down for the very first time
Now where's the truth in this?
I dared to dream
But you were more violent
Than the worst hurricane
Oh, take me sailing again
Oh, take me sailing again
You're taking aim
Your fiery flame infects the freedom fighter
Your love was just a fucking game
So love me like a brother should
Keep me safe from home like nobody could do
Oh, I see the sorrow, it don't look too good
Oh, take me sailing again
Oh, take me sailing again
But here in the ocean
The currents drag me deeper down
But I'm the stone that can't be drawn
Oh, take me sailing again
Oh, take me sailing again
I'm the stone
You've just thrown into the ocean
Blindfold me tie me up or tie me down
Yeah, take me anywhere
Keep your ears close to the ground
Listen to me but don't die laughing
And all things must end, yeah
But I can see my fate in your eyes
As I'm stitched up by my friends again
They just can't defend the state of things between
You and me
Used to be on fire
So slip off your shackles
'Cause you don't need them where we're going
See what happens just happens
There ain't no straight lines in the state of things
So try to cling on for dear life and don't forget
The world keeps on turning round despite
You and me
Used to be on fire, fire
Now look, now see when we're going
Starship, myself to an island paradise
Guided by the stars
Given the chance, I would leave this place
On a rocket ship for Mars
Take away your room back and your cowboy lies
My refill bottle of sky
'Cos I'm sick and I'm twisted like a Sunday massacre
Opened my eyes had a dream last night that both my arms were broken
Evenin' time
Help me now or hold me down, I feel my world is tumblin'
Spiral down
Oh my love I can't let go
Somethings wrong I can't let go
Natures cruel she laughs at me
As I make my way through the century
As I slowly turn to house dust
Tumblin' down
The rain comes down like a victory
In sheets of shinin' memory
Over and over
Circlin' around
Over and over
Can't let go
Somethings wrong I can't let go
Natures cruel she laughs at me
Almost too much for my heart
When it rains
Oh tears my soul apart
When it rains it rains so slowly
Paint your panic attack
Lonely, inside a lift
The smallest thing could strip you to your skin
Feel your lonely skies
When times are hard, wave, bye, bye
Bye, bye, baby, burning eyes of demise
Paint your lonely skies
Burning eyes, wave bye, bye, to your skin
You to your skin, baby, bye
The smallest thing inside a lift
To your skin, baby, times are hard
Paint your eyes, paint your panic back to demise
Strip your panic attack
Lonely eyes, baby, burn to your skin
Inside a lift to your skies
Strip your panic attack
Lonely eyes, baby, burn to your skin
Life isn't always easy
This we know my friends
I thought you knew where to go
But you were following me
So let's get lost in space
I feel this place, I'm stuck in the rat race
It's a lovely day to lose your way
And get stuck in the loop
Over and over again
You could never make it stop
Over and over again
You could never make it stop
Over and over again
You could never make it stop
Over and over again
You could never make it stop
My old bones stroll along
Railway track is oh so long
Stem the tide, the nine to five
Slowly eating me alive
But all night long, carry on
We're stumbling slowly
To a lovely day to lose your way
And get stuck in the loop
Over and over again
You could never make it stop
Over and over again
You could never make it stop
Over and over again
You could never make it stop
Over and over again
You could never make it
You could never make it
You could never make it
If I was a farmer
Instead of a faker
If I was a realer
Not just some raker
Raking through a memory
That just doesn't belong to me
Just someone I could've been
If I only kept walking
Have another drink my son
Enjoy another cigarette
'Cos it's time you realized
You're just an average man
Alone on a motorway
Catch your breath
Cat's eyes lead everyway
To lonesomeness
Since you learn to hide your fears
And downsize your dreams
Still alive, still sincere
Inside the scheme
Have another drink my son
Enjoy another cigarette
'Cos it's time you realized
You're just an average man
If this is darkness here
And if this is darkness, coming
Have another drink my son
Enjoy another cigarette
'Cos it's time you realized
Relax, relax, relax my little brother
All that you've been through a lifetime
Cling on, cling on, cling on to me my little brother
And we'll laugh at the grand scheme of things
Burned yourself down to the ground
You picked me out of the crowd
You're losin' it but I couldn't tell
Till you hung yourself
You hurt yourself, you burned the bridge
The molehills turned to mountains in your way
I've been there, in solitude
But I could never save you that day
You got lost in the grand scheme of things
You burned yourself down to the ground
You picked me out of the crowd
You're losin' it but I couldn't tell
Till you hung yourself
But you are keepin' me breathin'
Your voice is keepin' me movin'
Oh there is a way out of this mess
This is a time, find a new place
And catch you some sunshine for your face
We were running on empty
Last clown
Drinking in a bar that's about to be closed down
A hero
I was in people's plans I was shaking their hands
I got lost in the world
Slow motion walking and diatribe talking
As bad as things be, I'm a natural survivor
Ooh, I was a young man
With the keys to the plans held within my hands
I knew everything
Except the tick tick tock of the hour, glass hands
I got lost in the world
Slow motion walking and diatribe talking
As bad as things be, I'm a natural survivor
Ooh, last clown with your dreams so shallow
You will learn, you can never return
Though the grand scheme of things may seem rearranged
People smile, but they never ever change, ooh
So if you see me
Walking around in the streets of your town
Don't feel for me
I've got more peace of mind than you ever shall find
I was lost in the world
Slow motion walking and diatribe talking
As bad as things be, I'm a natural survivor
My boy, with your dreams so shallow
You will learn, you can never return
Though the grand scheme of things may seem rearranged
People smile, but they never ever change
Last clown
Last clown
So future boy where are you from
My time machine crashed over yonder
Syphilis is a bitch
But contracting HIV is much worse
Why are you pushing info into me
I have no need for it, I'm from the stars
I thought you'd like to know your scoop
I'm taking babies back with me, yeah
I'm taking them back home
So they can see there's a much better place
I've got a sister with an open mind
And my friends are all junkies but they're still my friends
As long as they don't use monkeys
We enjoy the heat of stolen days in the summer of 93
Well the future boy said I've got friends but you know sometimes
It all depends on how tall they are against yourself
Well I am the future boy, I am the future boy
I am the future boy, I am the future boy
Well I am the future boy, I am the future boy
I am the future boy, I am the future boy
Now my friends have all gone and left me
So I decided to come here and see myself as a baby
But it looks like I'm stuck here this time
Oh shit, I'm gonna miss my friends
And no you're still the future boy, yes I'm still the future boy
We'll build you a time machine to get back home
Still the future boy, still the future boy
Still the future boy, oh I'm still the future boy
Still the future boy, still the future boy
I'm gonna get me a bone today
Under the big blue sky
Under the tree where my last love laid
Now where beneath the leaves she lies
I'm goin' to dig a deep hole
And crack open this bone
See where all the wonder went
See where now it's all gone
Look at the light
It's full of stars
What's really happening?
Something wonderful
It's not as bad as I was told
To lose all that was loved
It's the demons who drag you down
But the angels pull you up
Don't let the colors bring you down
They'll get much brighter one day
You know all things will come around
If you leave them in their sway
I'm goin' to save it all in these photographs
Keep something here for me
When I'm dead and gone, I'll laugh last
At what's left here to see
Look at the light
It's full of stars
What's really happening?
Something wonderful
It's not as bad as I was told
To lose all that was loved
It's the demons who drag you down
But the angels pull you up
Look at the light
It's full of stars
What's really happening?
Something wonderful
It's not as bad as I was told
To lose all that was loved
It's the demons who drag you down
You move so sweet
There's enough to write a book about it
When you speak
It takes a while for the words to settle down
They carry on into the next town
Stick through sand and drag your name
Drag your name you're always falling down
Cover your face
Take a seat before you're falling down
You burn so slow
You burn the way that every candle wants to go
When you dance
You take the, the breeze
You take the breeze and spin it right through me
Stick through sand drag your name
Drag your name you're always falling down
Cover your face
Take a seat before you're falling down
There's some things that you can't hide
You never left the ground, you're always falling down
You have to see we're on your side
Well, all my colors bleed for you
Can't you see them runnin'?
My hazy hills glow green for you
Yeah, you could just call me, you know
On my mobile number
'Cause I'm always in
And I was just thinking about you
On emergency 72, 72 oh, yeah
(72, 72, 72, 72, 72, 72)
Well, all my lust comes down to dust
Can't you see it crumblin'?
My hazy hill come down to rust
But you could just call me, you know
You're pulling me out of this whirlpool
You're making me breathe again
And I was just thinking about you
On emergency 72, yeah 72
(72, 72, 72, 72, 72, 72)
And I just can't forget 72
And I just can't forget 72
72, 72, 72, 72, 72 yeah, 72
72, 72, 72, 72, 72 yeah, 72
72, 72, 72, 72, 72 yeah, 72
72, 72, 72, 72, 72 yeah, 72
Well, all my colors bleed for you
Can't you see them runnin'?
My hazy hills glow green for you
One, two, three, four
Naked and faking on a poorly lit stairway
Then we were getting down on a dance floor
Oh my love, where did you go?
She turned her body and soul into
Air, I need you like air
Water, I need you like water
I've been away for a very long time
The roads and their refuge keep you out of my mind
Arise, arise, I wanna take off and drive
And throw my arms into the clear blue
Air, I need you like air
Water, I need you like water
Here she comes
Buzzing through my memory
Here's the ghost
Her perfume trickles through the
Air, I need you like air
And water, I need you like water
So try, try to reach me
Even if you can't see me
I may be bleeding, but i don't care
see where i'm leading, see i'm almost there
these days lost their meaning, but i don't care
but still we're all breathing, so cry if you dare
with the world before me to break my fall
and this wind behind me won
the street lights embrace me, see I close my eyes
they're builiding wraps around me
everyone's sleeping, but i don't care
cos I can see reason, flowing through the air
here comes some feeling, that no walls can hold
and clear and relieving us from the cold
with the world before me to break my fall
and this wind behind me won
the street lights embrace me, see I close my eyes
they're builiding wraps around me
with the world before me to break my fall
and this wind behind me won
the street lights embrace me, see I close my eyes
Mind over money, bent over backwards
Light up my life like a very last cigarette
Time after time dear we will just lie here
Staring at ceilings it doesn't really matter where we are
Wearing a smile like it's going out of style
Look at your self, there's nothing in there
Just put points on a grave stone, can you see yourself sinking
Staring at ceilings it doesn't really matter where you are
That's alright I warned myself
Keep blood on the inside and nowhere else
Up on a shelf that's where I need to be
I need to get something, I can't sleep for red eye
Internal combustion, can that really happen?
I take it back yeah, whatever I did yeah
I didn't mean it, I was only joking
What does this matter in the grand scheming sky
All that I multiply adds up to nothing
That's alright I warned myself
Keep blood on the inside and nowhere else
Let's go fishing for a dream
Let's find some place new
Somewhere we can be ourselves
Some of the time
Lose your heart
I lose my mind
We'll make quite a pair
Dazzling all the time
Celebrity parties
The red carpet mile
Nothing is too good there for my girl
All of this world is gonna see you shine
Let's do loneliness in style
Let's put on moonlight mile
And feel those radio waves flow
And don't say you won't
Lose your heart
I lose my mind
We'll make quite a pair
Dazzling all the time
Celebrity parties
The red carpet mile
Nothing is too good there for my girl
All of this world is gonna see you shine
I lose your heart
And I'll lose my mind
We'll make quite a pair
Dazzling all the time
Celebrity parties
The red carpet mile
Nothing is too good there for my girl
My girl she's asleep now
Fleas leave her, jump to the ground
Through a train window
Flickering like a film frame
With twenty-four times a second
Me and my girl gonna make it if we try
'Cause I've been hanging around
My head in my hands and my feet on the ground
It's been too long, been chasing tales
I'm gonna leave the city, I'm gonna set sail
I'm gonna set sail, I'm gonna set sail
I fell asleep with the fireflies
But let the moonlight pass me by
On this long and lifeless road we walk on
Me and my girl gonna make it if we try
'Cause I've been hanging around
My head in my hands and my feet on the ground
It's been too long, chasing tales
I'm gonna leave the city, I'm gonna set sail
I'm gonna set sail, I'm gonna set sail
Turn out the lights
I see a sign and a sunset, yeah
Ah, look at my life, could be a loser, baby
Could be a loser but with you I forget, now there is
No use flapping around like a headless chicken
Me and my girl gonna make it if we try
'Cause I've been hanging around
My head in my hands and my feet on the ground
It's been too long, chasing tales
I'm gonna leave the city, I'm gonna set sail
'Cause I've been hanging around
My head in my hands and my feet on the ground
It's been too long, chasing tales
I'm gonna leave the city, I'm gonna set sail
I'm gonna set sail, I'm gonna set sail
I'm gonna set sail, I'm gonna set sail
I'm gonna set sail, I'm gonna set sail
Two black lines streaming out like a guidance line.
Put one foot on the road now where the sybourgs(?) are driving,
With the WD-40 in their veins-
your screeching little brakes complains.
With the briefcase empty and the holes in my shoes,
I try to stay friendly for the sugary abuse.
So tell my secretary now to hold all of my calls,
I believe I can hear through these walls.
Oh please save me, save me from myself.
I can't be the only one stuck on the shelf.
You said you'd always fall for the underdog.
Well I've been dreaming of jetstreams and kicking up dust,
A thirty seven thousand foot wonderlust
And with skyline number 9 ticked off on my mind,
Oh can you hear me screaming out now through the telephone lines.
Oh please save me, save me from myself.
I can't be the only one stuck on the shelf.
You said you'd always fall for the underdog.
Save me.
Save me.
Save me.
My open heart is all a flutter
Memories as sweet as butter
Running down the blade of a double edged sword
I recall a kiss, a photograph
And in this I can't recall the faces of you all
'Cause you come and you go
'Cause you come and you go
'Cause you come and you go, oh
Open up my heart, you open up my heart
And let some sunlight down the avenue
I'm going to take my time today
I'm going to take what's mine today
'Cause you come and you go
'Cause you come and you go
'Cause you come and you go, oh
I'm going to take my time today
I'm going to take what's mine today
'Cause you come and you go
'Cause you come and you go
Cubscouts are screaming,
Needing icescreaming and all the pleasures of June
Iæ¦ in a parked car.
Flowers seem friendly and people in hall ways feel walls.
Now it is night time maybe weæ®e cruising avoiding the anti-cruise.
Oh I donæ° really know where we are.
If things get real promise to take me somewhere else,
By the time fear takes me over will we still be rolling and feeling oblivion.
Once in a while the lie in the laughter can burn through a hole in my ears,
Like a man with glasses catching a sunbeam and burning the skin of a kid.
Hypereal fragments disturbing the stagnants of almighty fear.
Well Iæ£l just go under the water.
If things get real promise to take me somewhere else,
By the time fear takes me over will we still be rolling and feeling oblivion.
So donæ° leave me here on my own.
So donæ° leave me here on my own.
If things get real promise to take me somewhere else,
ooooh (x2)
inch by inch
i'm infected by your love
head to toe
i'm chemically changed
forever
oh take me back
to your house again, my love
I want to roam
through your fields again, my love
forever
ooooh (x2)
I feel like, i'm falling
i'm falling, for you
forever
from head to toe
i'm infected by your love
inch by inch
All and all it's been a blast
Fame and fortune never lasts
We'll take refuge in the sound
They burned our churches to the ground
But they can't buy the sunshine
They can't buy the sunshine
They can't buy the sun
But they can't stop the sunshine
On the sun, the sun, the sun
We may have sold our very souls
The ghosts inside the radio
They warned us once and they told us twice
This life's never very nice
They can't buy the sunshine
They can't buy the sunshine
They can't buy the sun
But they can't stop the sunshine
On the sun, the sun, the sun
The credit card skyline rises high
Crushing the sky and multiplies
They bind up souls to fill their holes
We know the one thing they don't know
They can't buy the sunshine
They can't buy the sunshine
They can't buy the sun
But they can't stop the sunshine
They can't stop the sunshine
They can't stop the sunshine
On the sun, the sun, the sun
Shine, shine on the sun, the sun, the sun
Shine, shine on the sun, the sun, the sun
Shine, shine on the sun, the sun, the sun
Saturday night, where am i going?
i'm going to work inside a kitchen
i'll be making you mush and cleaning the deep fat fryer
here he comes now the king of irony
whos good to you?
i am i am the boss
whos good to you?
i am i am the boss of the century
loving a good steak feeling fancy
hopping around like the pig that you are
i'm stuck to this sink like a twisted bar fly
a good view from the window but i ain't got no wings
whos good to you?
i am i am the boss
whos good to you?
i am i am the boss of the century
whos good to you?
i am i am the boss
whos good to you?
i am i am the boss of the century, of the century
whos good to you?
whos good to you?
whos good to you?
I got a rifle on my back
Swinging past the birch trees
Well, I set of a bomb way back there
I don't care about nobody but me
I, no, I ain't slack
Ran back home and drunk all the wine
Well, I stole a bottle for myself
With insects crawling in my hair
The trees are black and I don't care
'Cause I, no, I ain't slack
Rescued a cat from a tree
Well, it's fur was all caked in dirt
So, I killed it dead for liking me
Yet I stole a car and drove to town
Breathe in good, breathe out bad
Remind yourself of the things you have, it's easy
Pull a smile onto your face
Understand that making friends is easy
So tell yourself it will be okay
Remind yourself that you're not just in it for the money
The end, the end, the end, the end, the end
My friend, where's the end?
You're up, you're down
You're in the ground in the end, my friend
Where's the end?
I've found myself, deep down in the dirt
I got to get myself to my feet, yeah
So tell myself it will be okay
Remind myself that I'm not just in it for the money
The end, the end, the end, the end, the end
My friend, where's the end?
You're up, you're down
You're in the ground in the end, my friend
The dad he was fifty, the kid was nine years old
He stood their like a miracle, with the kid's heart in his hold
I think I might be dying, at least that's what I'm told
Inside kid is crying, for the dream has just been sold
I'm only nine, I'm already feeling the strain
It seems everyone's dying or curling up in pain
Well it's just a losers game, dad
It's just a loser's game
Oh come try and catch me, oh catch me if you can
I'll be the first to miss the grip of your hairless bony hands
Well people run for shopping malls but you're waiting in the sky
Oh which consumer will you crush and which will you let back
I'm only nine, I'm already feeling the strain
It seems everyone's dying or curling up in pain
Well it's just a losers game, dad
It's just a loser's game
Oh, put the sun in the back of this vehicle
Remember the sun, where the beach boys were playing
Run for the sun
Oh dad, ain't it sad, that we're on this road to nowhere?
Oh dad, ain't it sad, that we're on this road to nowhere?
Oh dad, ain't it sad, that we're on this road to nowhere?
Nowhere I know
I'm only nine, I'm already feeling the strain
It seems everyone's dying or curling up in pain
Well it's just a losers game, dad
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Sometimes just letting go is easier
Dead friends cant come back
They're gone and life goes on
If you try, you'll be alright
If you try, you'll be alright
Been hanging around you, been catching the starlight
Under this red moon
Leaving the city tonight we're finding our freedom
Under this red moon, oh no, no, no, no
Leave your woes behind
Start the car and drive
Deserts bring you home
The only roads you've known
If you try, you'll be alright
If you try, you'll be alright
Been hanging around you, been catching the starlight
Under this red moon
Leaving the city tonight, we're finding our freedom
Under this red moon, oh no, no, no, no
Here it comes, you might as well
Here it comes, you might as well
You might as well
If you try, you'll be alright
Been hanging around you, been catching the starlight
Under this red moon
Leaving the city tonight, we're finding our freedom
Under this red moon, oh no, no, no, no
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Batten up the hatches, here comes the cold
I can feel it creeping, it's making me old
You give me so much love that it blows my brains out
You need something better than the bacon and eggs
The creaking in the walls and the banging in the bed
You give me so much love that it blows my brains out
Summer rain, dripping down your face again
Summer rain, praying someone feels the same
Take the pain killer, cycle on your bicycle
Leave all this misery behind
My love giving me head
Feeling very guilty, breaking the bread
Losing my attention, I'm taking the world on
So batten up the hatches, here comes the cold
I can feel it creeping, it's making me old
You give me so much love that it blows my brains out
Summer rain, dripping down your face again
Summer rain, praying someone feels the same
Take the pain killer, cycle on your bicycle
Leave all this misery behind
My love, my love
My love, oh, my love
Summer rain, dripping down your face again
Summer rain, praying someone feels the same
Take the pain killer, cycle on your bicycle
Leave all this misery behind
Summer rain, dripping down your face again
Summer rain, praying someone feels the same
Take the pain killer, cycle on your bicycle
Leave all this misery behind
Leave all this misery behind
(Summer rain)
Leave all this misery behind
(Summer rain)
Leave all this misery behind
two lights just blinking
one north and the other one south
you can see them from the stratosphere
they're there i swear they are
in the city someones dad just died
in another one someone looks up to find
a smiling cloud looking down
as if it was alive
in the nine to five
in the children's eyes
where the aeroplanes fly
i feel magic, yeah
well if i turned off this tv
and took a walk in the rain
what could the city streets teach me
not just fill me up with fear again
i know i'm just indulging
i don't deserve to feel this strange
so tonight i'm going to feel alright with myself again
in the nine to five
in the children's eyes
where the aeroplanes fly
Well, if this gets ugly, I'd swear
This ain't our last chance
The vultures that circle my head
Are flying alongside
The world's turning
I let somebody get under my skin
Long distance losin' is all that I've seen
Now there's a river, now there's a river
Nothing can save me, my reserve betrayed me
It calmed the hurricanes
I'm burning to get there, the middle of nowhere
Storm warnings flicker while
The world's turning
I let somebody get under my skin
Long distance losin' is all that I've seen
Now there's a river, now there's a river
I let somebody get under my skin
Long distance losing is all that I've seen
If I stuck my ears to the ground
Down where the bugs are crawling around
Shoot me up to the aeroplanes
Like a jackinabox with springs in my wings
This is a nice mess, I don't feel so lonely
Deep inside the ether's air
I'm takin' a lift and you're takin' the stairs
Shoot me up to the aeroplanes
Like a jackinabox with springs in my wings
This is a nice mess, I don't feel so lonely
Oh no, my world is on fire
Someone get some water 'cos I think I'm gonna burn
Oh no, my world is on fire
Someone get some water 'cos I think I'm gonna burn
Hey Joe, I'm tastin' all your flavours
Ain't no piece of cake but life ain't dishin' nothin' I can't take
If I stuck my ears to the ground
Down where the bugs are crawling around
Shoot me up to the aeroplanes
Like a jackinabox with springs in my wings
This is a nice mess, I don't feel so lonely
Deep inside the ether's air
I'm takin' a lift and you're takin' the stairs
Shoot me up to the aeroplanes
Like a jackinabox with springs in my wings
This is a nice mess, I don't feel so lonely
Oh no, my world is on fire
Someone get some water 'cos I think I'm gonna burn
Oh no, my world is on fire
Someone get some water 'cos I think I'm gonna burn
Hey Joe, I'm tastin' all your flavours
Ain't no piece of cake but life ain't dishin' nothin' I can't take
Ooh, oh no, my world is on fire
Someone get some water 'cos I think I'm gonna burn
Oh no, my world is on fire
Someone get some water 'cos I think I'm gonna burn
Hey Joe, I'm tastin' all your flavours
Ain't no piece of cake but life ain't dishin' nothin' I can't take
Ooh, this is a nice mess, I don't feel so lonely
Wine bottle, why are you weary?
And why are my eyes so gray?
Semi-circle people are pointing
And staring up to the sky
And the dogs are all gone, and my muesli is mouldy
And the saints, they are sinners in their songs
And the crickets, they call to their rusted rainbow
I swear if you listen, you might just hear our song
TV light flickers so fiercely
Bridging the gap between my eyes
Outside the rain is tapping my window
A jet trail left hanging in the sky
And the puddles reflect the sky in the morning
Then the pavements lead to another place
With one ear to the west and then ocean beside me
I swear if you listen, you could just hear our song
Electric sensations will not stay with us for long
Wine bottle, why are you weary?
And why are my eyes so gray?
Semi-circle people are pointing
And staring up to the sky
And the dogs are all gone, and my muesli is mouldy
And the saints, they are sinners in their songs
And the crickets, they call to their rusted rainbow
I think if you listen, you might just hear our song
The little men stroke my head
The little men in my bed
They suck me in for the evening
To the bright golden lights
I got to find my way out
I'm spinning around in my life
I got to get stoned or I can't go to sleep
The little men in my tears
The little men in my fears
They're pulling me out of the ether
To the bright golden lights
I got to find my way out
I'm spinning around in my life
I got to get stoned or I can't go to sleep
I'm a burnt out firefly
My wings won't reach the sky
I'm a burnt out firefly, oh
Taking over body and mind
Swimming in circles, staring at stars
Some satellite to beam me up
Light me a candle I'm so sick of sleeping
In the bright golden lights
I got to find my way out
I'm spinning around in my life
Oh, let the sun be done
Let the air wash the city clean
Oh, let the blue hour come
For everyone, for everyone, the sun
We all need sun
Pace of this place slow down
Suits, throw your phones to the ground
With blue in your lungs begun
For everyone, for everyone, the sun
We all need some
Time to go fishing, reels screaming
For all weary souls, the endless song
For everyone, for everyone this song
i'm on a plane, heading to new york, to see my sister
i dont really know what i'm heading for
but thats just like me, to leave my friends behind
holding hands, at least holding hands in my eyes
and its hard, hard when you don't know why your leaving
yes and its so so hard
but theres three thousand miles from balham to brooklyn
i remember the day, that she said to me, take this magic marker
and draw yourself a door
and through that door, you can take yourself to a better place
a better place, you've been longing for
yeah and it's hard, hard when you don't know why your leaving
yes and it's so so hard
but theres three thousand miles from balham to brooklyn
all day all night, you try you try
but you don't really know where your going
all day all night, you try you try
but you don't really know where you are
oh and it's hard, hard wen you don't know why your leaving
yes and it's so so hard
One, two, three, four
Up above the clouds, it is always a blue sky
Some will try a trick, but you just look them in the eyes
What will they do, when the money runs dry?
Where will they go, when the jet planes can't fly?
When all is said and done I will love you
When all is said and done I'll still love you
Starring out at the stars, you feel helpless and so small
Nothing but closed down bars, no one helps you when you fall
One day this world will be returning to this prime
We'll all be gone, there'll be no more roads to find
When all is said and done I will love you
When all is said and done I'll still love you
The rain came again, cleaning the dream
And it always makes me cry, oh my
Something about the rain, it sends memories through my veins
Memories always stain, you can't wash them down the drain
And where will I go when my broken body dies?
And what will I know when I look up to the skies?
When all is said and done will you love me?
When all is said and done will you love me?
The rain came again, cleaning the dream
And it always makes me cry, oh my
In my five mile high club
You was on a fall
I concentrate on landing
The town was peaceful
Jet planes fly too close to the ground
It makes these houses shake
Friendly figures fall to the ground
In a sentimental earth quake
Oh, that's alright, that's alright
That's alright, sad song tonight
For these are the days that are driving me crazy
These are the days taht are driving me insane
Every day let your love shine down all around me
These are the days that are diving me crazy
When brothers and sisters fall to the ground
in half hast harmony
With lives of dreams 'fore their wide eyes
But small reality
Oh, that's alright, that's alright
That's alright, sad song tonight, oh
These are the days that are driving me crazy
These are the days that are driving me insane
We take a train then a jet plane
Travel back and forth in time
Plesed to meet you, what's your name?
I'm afraid I've forgotten mine
Oh, that's alright, that's alright
That's alright, sad song tonight
For these are the days - let your love shine down all around me
For these are the days - let your love shine down all around me
For these are the days - let your love shine down all around me
Here comes the reveal,
So get out of the way
There is too much too feel,
An emotional landslide
Full of sentiment,
But never sentimental
I'm a lonely man,
Surrounded by people
Pack it up, pack it in
This is who I should have been
But instead I waste my time (time)
well I'm a northern star,
Here in the darkness
I'm a fat cigars
Burning embers
Full of sentiment,
But never sentimental
I'm a lucky man
Surrounded by people
Pack it up, pack it in
This is who I should have been
But instead I waste my time (time)
ooo wooo ooo woooahhh
Pack it up, pack it in
This is who I should have been
But instead I waste my time (time)
Pack it up, pack it in
This is who I should have been
In the morning,
When you wake up
Daytime fades up
And your make up runs,
Just hold on
It sounds tacky,
but I'm hopeful
There's a reason
That the world turns round,
Through silent sound
Set the dark on fire
Set the dark on fire
Set the dark on fire
Set the dark on fire
Now oooooohhhhh
Wooooooo ohhhhh
I got lost
Inside a memory,
When I was young
And I almost drowned,
I was found
It sounds tacky
But I'm hopeful,
There's a reason
That I found the ground
And my sirens sound.
Set the dark on fire
Set the dark on fire
Set the dark on fire
Set the dark on fire
So take all that you know and stuff it in a hole,
And in ten thousand years someone will take you home,
Rewind the words in which you roam
ahh oooooh ooh
oooooooh ooh
Set the dark on fire
Set the dark on fire
Set the dark on fire
Set the dark on fire

Here comes the moon to pacify,
Here are the stars to guide me by
As the loneliness creeps through my veins tonight, I get pacified
Where will I go when the riptide comes,
A dead radio but the engine runs,
As the loneliness creeps through my veins tonight, I get pacified
As the loneliness creeps, I get paralysed
On the loneliest drive,
On the loneliest drive,
On the loneliest drive of my life.
Run and become before the sun goes down,
The things that I've done will leave my mark around,
The radio shreeks and through the lightning strike,
A sweat covered creeps out on the roads tonight
As the loneliness sleeps through my veins tonight, I get pacified
As the loneliness creeps, I get paralysed
On the loneliest drive, on the loneliest drive, on the loneliest drive, I
I roll with the punches, I slip through the slime
I roll with the punches, I self define
As the loneliness sleeps through my veins tonight, I get pacified
As the loneliness creeps, I get paralysed
On the loneliest drive, on the loneliest drive, on the loneliest drive
Here comes the moon to pacify,
I've got a will this time don't care what you say
I've got a feeling this will all go away
It's in the wind this time it's in the southern sky
I can't walk on water yet won't even try
Chorus
So drown me slowly
Enclose me
Drown me slowly alright
Drown me slowly
Enfold me
Drown me slowly
All that I took with me was a bad taste in my mouth
Went all around the world just couldn't spit it out
Just like ground zero was the surface of the sun
That's a sickness I can't fix it not all at once
Chorus
So drown me slowly
Enclose me
Drown me slowly alright
Drown me slowly
Enfold me
Drown me slowly
Don't let them take you down
You'll leave a better world than you found
Don't let them take you down
You'll leave a better world than you found
Don't let them take you down
Don't let them take you down
Don't let them take you down
Don't let them take you down
Chorus
So drown me slowly
Enclose me
Drown me slowly alright
Drown me slowly
Enfold me
Drown me slowly
Drown me slowly
Drown me slowly
From the water
Land ahoy my boy
Build a fire
Crack a smile for joy
Now it's over
I found you
We'll stay together
Lasso
When I walk the streets
When I board the train
You're still with me baby
Your face is burned on my brain
Where there's a mirror
I've lost myself in you
We'll stay together
Lasso
We've lost ourselves
We'll never ever
There we'll be found
Where's my army?
I've been dragging my ass across the desert sands
Please sister
I'm not looking for a good time, just hold my hand
So I can shelter from the rain
So I can shelter from the rain
And stand the flash floods to my brain, oh
Where's my army?
I've been dragging my ass across the desert sands
Please sister
I'm not looking for a good time, just hold my hand
So I can shelter from the rain
So I can shelter from the rain
I got to bed early this morning
The stars were still bright
I got to bed early this morning
And everything in my head feels alright
Cos I don't know exactly where I'm going
I don't know exactly where I've been
I don't know exactly where I'm going
I don't know exactly where I've been, alright
The world keeps revolving
The cars keep driving
The money keeps on coming
And I keep smiling
Cos I don't know exactly where I'm going
I don't know exactly where I've been
I don't know exactly where I'm going
I don't know exactly where I've been, it's alright
Keep on, just keep on, keep on, walking
Keep on, just keep on, keep on, walking
Cos I don't know exactly where I'm going
I don't know exactly where I've been
I don't know exactly where I'm going
I don't know exactly where I've been, it's alright
If the fish keep swimming
The birds keep flying
And the planes keep falling
And the people keep dying
Well I don't know exactly where I'm going
I don't know exactly where I've been
I don't know exactly where I'm going
I don't know exactly where I've been
On and on...
I don't know exactly where I'm going
I don't know exactly where I've been
I don't know exactly where I'm going
Settle down now and sit with me
Let me tell you how this all came to be
A yellow flower with your pedals to the air
And flying on paper wings that brought you here
Summer rolls on in the lazy hours
An ether dream way
Of hummingbirds and clouds
Midnight swims in the cool back waves
And you in my arms as it rolls away
Chorus
Little dandelion
Let your heart keep time
Now the clouds are gone
All of your tomorrows shine
Oh oh
All of your tomorrows shine
Oh oh
All of your tomorrows shine
Born of restless night the moon as a pearl
Playing games down inside your soft warm world
Hear my voice I know that you can
You're the fire in my eyes
The sun as a man
Seasons come along and seasons go
And what they'll leave behind
I don't pretend to know
I'm afraid that all I have missed
Will loom very large when the darkness lifts
Chorus
Little dandelion
Let your heart keep time
Now the clouds are gone
All of your tomorrows shine
All of your tomorrows shine
All of your tomorrows shine
I will ride by your side
Wherever you go
I won't run I won't hide
Just letting you know
Chorus
Little dandelion
Let your heart keep time
Now the clouds are gone
All of your tomorrows shine
All of your tomorrows shine
All of your tomorrows shine
All of your tomorrows shine
All of your tomorrows shine
