Verse:
Has this city always looked this way?
The streets are washed of their decay
Traffic's lighter than it usually seems
Each car's trying to navigate the streams
Chorus:
Acid stains the concrete
Eating all the cracks for mothers broken backs in streams
Puddles line the side streets
When it rains it's the only time it seems
A city's clean
Verse:
I make my way down the side walk
To the cafe that's around the block
I'm met with umbrella's piling at the door
and the sound of rubber souls squeaking on the floor
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
Verse:
Has this city always looked this way
The streets are washed of their decay
I sip on coffee and wait out the storm
Beyond the asphalt watch the rainbows form

Verse:
The Midnight hour starts to fade
But yet I lie awake
Wondering why my brain's delayed
To notice soon that dawn will break
The only thing I dread today
As the minutes slip away
That my bare feet with have the chore
Of waking up to a cold floor
Chorus:
You try to make me stay
I'll have hopped a train
Before you notice that I've gone
My shoes rest on the floor but how long
Until I'm walking out that door and I'm travelling on
Verse:
Came home early yesterday
Forgot to set the clocks ahead
A foriegn car in the drive way
fire engine red
Several garments in a pile
Lie on the bedroom floor
And there was lipstick on the sheets
In a shade I never wore
(Chorus)
Bridge:
I want some thoughts I can call sane
When will I ever get them back?
It feels like years gone down the drain
From where we were, to where we're at

Sat by the river in my mind
On a park bench killing time
Recalling memories and regrets
Cold days my mind replays and yet
You've been walking down the street
The sound of gravel 'neath your feet
Leaving foot prints in the snow
I Know, I Know
Looking down at the smoking gun
Hard to believe what's just begun
You may not have changed your name
Still I can't look at you the same
We're just sitting on the stairs
I'm fine but you let on you care
You must be feeling awfully low
I Know, I Know
We're just sitting on the stairs
I'm fine but you let on you care
You must be feeling awfully low

I don't believe in you
No, I don't believe in me
There's nothing I won't do
No, there's nothing left to prove
I don't believe in you
No, I don't believe in me
Your words, they are no use
Till we can undergo every dream
You say I'm unfair
When you do all you like
I don't need you to care
Tonight, I don't belong with you
Now, don't need anyone to write a song about
I don't belong with you,
Now, I don't need anyone to tell me how to act
Cause I'm out
I don't believe in you
No, I don't believe in me
There's nothing I won't do
No, there's nothing left to prove
Well, it's easy to say
Much harder to do
I don't need you to stay
And try, I don't belong with you,
Now, I don't need anyone to write a song about
I don't belong with you,
Now, I don't need anyone to tell me how to act

At night there's ghosts that slip round the screen
They're much too smart to think of the times when we swung from the trees
You, me and my friends, the road so far below
Don't you feel this sometimes?
If God turned up today
Could anybody think of anything clever to say?
I taught 'em but they're in their own idea of Hell
So come on everybody gotta help me unwind
Get rid of those Ghosts in my mind, in my mind
Newton, slipping something slyly into the drink says
"Satan my boy, I'm starting to think that there's better ways of making a mint coz my blood turns blue and my head is shrinking"
Einstein howling senseless trapped down in the hole
He's all jumped up, he's turned to dust cause he got nailed down some time ago
Now his thoughts are for nothing and it's starting to show now
Don't you feel this sometimes?
If God turned up today
Could anybody think of anything clever to say?
I taught 'em but they're in their own idea of Hell
So come on everybody gotta help me unwind
Get rid of those Ghosts in my mind, in my mind
Cause my memory
Yeah it tells me
That I am not what I used to be
I don't know what I need but I need it
Cause my memory
Yeah it tells me
That I am not what I used to be

Where'd your sense of adventure go?
You sit at home, with dinner on a tray,
The world is outside.
Do you remember how it used to be,
At 17, I've never been the same,
Forgot my lies.
She said, we could do anything, we can do anything,
Oh oh oh oh,
Open your eyes; the world is outside your door,
Oh oh oh,
Don't tell me your story if you don't have one.
The last Monday in January,
Is apparently the worst day of the year,
Maybe they're right,
I don't even know what day it is,
I'm tired of this, wish we were kids again,
With time on our side,
She said, we could do anything, we can do anything,
Oh oh oh oh,
Open your eyes; the world is outside your door,
Oh oh oh,
You're kidding yourself 'cos everything else is old.
Oh oh oh oh,
Open your eyes; the world is outside your door,
Oh oh oh,
Don't tell me your story if you don't have one.
Oh oh oh oh,
Open your eyes; the world is outside your door,
Oh oh oh,
You're kidding yourself 'cos everything else is old.
Oh oh oh oh,
You're taking your time; the world is outside your door,
Oh oh oh,

Did you miss it enough
to make up for both of us?
Did you take it apart
just to show me how it worked?
And if you're asking me to stay don't turn your back and walk away
And no breaking down on me
I know you want to see the world, do the things you've never done in your life
It's like musical chairs
You're still young you don't care
You'll be stopping the song when you start
getting on a bit in years
(We run around 'til the music stops)
How can I help you if you don't let me in?
(I can't tell if we're sane or not)
How can I help you if you don't let me in?
(Maybe this ain't the game for us)
How can I help you if you don't let me in to your life?
Will you stay sitting down
when the next song comes around?
Well it's still early days
so get up and act your age
And if you're asking me to stay
don't turn your back and walk away
And no breaking down on me
I know you want to see the world, do the things you've never done in your life
It's like musical chairs
You're still young you don't care
You'll be stopping the song when you start
getting on a bit in years
(We run around 'til the music stops)
How can I help you if you don't let me in?
(I can't tell if we're sane or not)
How can I help you if you don't let me in?
(Maybe this ain't the game for us)

A gentle breeze brings down
all the leaves that bear my name
If you stay there'll be hell to pay
That's good advice
Oh don't you waste your time on me
I'll just fall apart
I always break like each single wave
that reaches shore
I sit and wait and they overtake
cause all that I lead is a lie
And you can't keep telling me off
Oh don't you waste your time on me
I'll just fall apart at the sea
I'm already frayed and oh I'm not
all there anymore
Your colours won't fade if you take care
So go on without me
Forget how to care
Forget how to love me
You're almost there
Oh don't you waste your time on me

Pulled apart and driven to distraction
On the beaten path from me to you
Just coz I'm leaving,
it don't make a difference
I call you at home on the day
you start to listen
We won't turn it round again
Coz I'm only losing ground
Can you feel me touching you?
I'm further and further away
Can you feel me touching you?
I'm further and further away
Can you feel me touching you?
I'm further and further away
I took my chance on a physical attraction
I photographed you in the nude
But the girl in the picture
is a pure work of fiction
The more that I stare
the less you seem to listen
We won't turn it round again
Coz I'm only losing ground
Can you feel me touching you?
I'm further and further away
Can you feel me touching you?
I'm further and further away
Can you feel me touching you?
I'm further and further away

a pretty sigh i may not be
not always right but i mean well
something`s wrong so come on and
tell me what is you need
dont pic a fight not in the mood
its not the time or th place well

i`ll pretend it`s nothing i you...
...just stop
ah ah ah

ah ah ah
why dont you ever stop?

...just stop

(you`re bugging me)

I don't have a game to give away
I'd take you home but the lock's been changed
Let me take you in my arms tonight
My hands are tied but we can improvise
I've broken promises I've never made
And ruined plans that I've never laid
But I will be there if you need my help
and tell you things I don't tell no one else
No you don't need those spies of yours
That is what your eyes are for
I hit my head but you're kissing it better now
I've made up my mind
I've made up my mind
But I'm still confined
By these knots that I have tied
Can I come undone with you?
No you don't need those spies of yours
That is what your eyes are for
I hit my head but you're kissing it better now
I've made up my mind
I've made up my mind
But I'm still confined
By these knots that I have tied

Well I don't mean anything
'Cause it makes no difference
You shake your head again
As I try to make ammends
Well I know I've got a gift for over-analysis
Don't you know me?
I'll try to make it fit but I'll make a mess of it
You say there's nothing to it,
that the music is sometimes wrong
But the stars predict that I'll be tricked oh
Break my bones and string me along
But I still go on til I've got nothing left inside
A waste of time or a grand design?
Oh never mind, 'cause I've got no more pride to swallow now
I don't mean to make a fuss
but you're meant to be helping us
Don't you know me?
I'll add the numbers up
but I always get too much
You say there's nothing to it,
that the music is sometimes wrong
But the stars predict that I'll be tricked
Break my bones and string me along
But I still go on til I've got nothing left inside
A waste of time or a grand design?
Oh never mind, coz I've got no more pride to swallow now
And I don't know why I should bother if you see black and white not colour
Don't you see that I don't care if you don't want me there?
Will I ever find something better
to fill my time?
Well I've never tried
but I'd be so very far behind
I'm gonna draw a line
and try to cross it by January
I'm running out of time
but I've come so many miles and miles
with all these things
that I do

I'm always unwilling to start to a fight
But you've got that look in your eye
You gave me your word but I heard I'll find
It's coated in sugar and lies
The songs on the radio don't apply
Hollywood still leaves me cold
It's all happy endings and tragic lives
This ain't what they had in mind
She says
"Stay overnight, stay right by my side"
But there's truth wrapped up in little stars
And it's calling time
Well turn off the tears turn on the light
I know what you're doing and why
You're stoking the fire of my desire
While sowing the seeds of goodbye
She says
"Stay overnight, stay right by my side"
But there's truth wrapped up in little stars
And it's calling time
Is your head in the clouds?
We are dead in the ground
Too close to shout but too far to be heard
Well I've figured it out
So just say it aloud
We're over and out because
There's not enough to hold on

It's four o'clock in the morning,
I can't take another second of this excuse for taste,
take a chance - stay the night
Oh why don't we take a taxi back to mine,
I'm sure that we'll find a way to pass the time,
take a chance - stay the night
If it's a question of timing, I'll wait
If there's a reason I'll right, always
I gave you the night, coz I know what I found
I think of you and my heart beats a little louder
A little louder
I can't decide if you're giving me a sign,
well maybe you are just like this all the time,
take a chance - stay the night
Oh please don't tell me you're worried you might find
when morning comes you regret you crossed that line,
take a chance - stay the night
If it's a question of timing, I'll wait
If there's a reason I'll right, always
I gave you the night, coz I know what I found
I think of you and my heart beats a little louder
If it's a question of timing, I'll wait
If there's a reason I'll right, always
I gave you the night, coz I know what I found
I think of you and my heart beats a little louder
My heart beats a little louder
I tell you my heart beats a little louder
And oh, stay the night
(stay the night)
Stay the night, come on
(stay the night)
