(lyrics by Jim Crichton)
Aldo's standing at his table
And he's wondering if he's able
To pick the number right this time
He watches as the wheel stops spinning
Sees the number that is winning
As he reaches for his glass of wine
Once he starts it's hard to stop
He's keepin' up a pace like a tight wound clock
Be sure you don't step in his way
He'll keep those numbers rolling
This may be his last day
As all the bets are taken
Aldo lights a smoke, he's shakin'
>From carnation right to the ground
He knows tonight holds one last chance
'n give the wheel a final glance
Slippery fingers drop the money down
Once he starts it's hard to stop
He's keepin' up a pace like a tight wound clock
And as he leaves the table, "No luck today"
You can rest assured
He's comin' back to try again
Wind him up, he can't stop
He's wound up tight just like the clock
That's winding its second hand down
Wind him up, he can't stop
He keeps on going 'round the clock
The stage is set, all ships have arrived
We know that only one will survive
Will it be me, will it be me, will it be you?
Suspension plates are drawn in tight
Central towers alert to the fight
Will it be me, will it be me, will it be you?
If you bring some you know I'll have one better
What you want to know I'll own forever
For years you've watched my vision grow
It's now come time for you to know
Will it be me, will it be me, will it be you?
Are you quite sure you've grown so strong
Since last we met it's not been long
Will it be me, will it be me, will it be you?
If you bring some you know I'll have one better
What you want to know I'll own forever
Southwest sector, they're at your door
Silos release black interceptor
Will it be you?
Time perfection, defense selection
Intercept without detection
Will it be you?
My contact's made with your feeble raid
Your fleet lies silent, black starlit grave
Will it be me?
Computer dance, metallic romance
It really seems you had no chance
I've watched the way you store into the night
There's plenty out there and you need to see it all
There's something in you that doesn't like daylight
You'd better close your eyes and wait until you're called
What's it gonna be tonight?
What do ya wanna do?
So what's it gonna be tonight?
What cha gonna do?
What's it gonna be tonight?
What do ya wanna do?
So what's it gonna be tonight?
That's a most outstanding stamina you've got
And you push it 'till you get all that you came for
It doesn't seem to work until it's night for you
You're just sitting there all day until they call
What's it gonna be tonight?
What do ya wanna do?
So what's it gonna be tonight?
What cha gonna do?
What's it gonna be tonight?
What do ya wanna do?
So what's it gonna be tonight?
What cha gonna do?
Don't things look better in the night?
Don't things look better in the night?
Don't things look better in the night, to you?
Don't things look better in the night, to you?
Don't things look better in the night, to you?
He woke up in a sweat
With a fading dream
But one picture still stood clear
And he wasn't sure if he could see it any other way
They're like a tiny dot
On an endless page
Just waiting to be erased
And it was clear to him they were treating it like a game
[Chorus]
You've got too much to lose
You've got too much to lose
He looked out on the field
They were hard at work
Like locusts in flight
And it almost looked as though they liked what they had to do
The sound of metal being shaped
To enable its flight
Not that far away
And as the numbers grew, their swarm blackened his view
[Repeat Chorus]
A vision of buildings sitting empty
There's not a person to be found
All cars sit silently waiting
All the leaves have fallen to the ground
Waves crash with no interruption
There's not a ship that you can see
No rock is thrown to change its motion
Rhythms moving, all naturally
A sleeping world, just waiting
A tired world
A sleeping world, just waiting
A tired world
A phone is ringing in the distance
A pulse with no end, no enemy
This cry has no one left it can bother
The person may have left suddenly
A lot of wasted words were spoken
Many vein attempts were made
No one realized that in the long run
It was ourselves we could have saved
A sleeping world, just waiting
A tired world
A sleeping world, just waiting
(lyrics by Jim Crichton)
I spend half of each day just eyeing the clock
And dream of all the things I'd like to do
'n nothing ever changes from day to day
I've just been guarding this desk for you
It's a mayday, it's a mayday,
There must be something else I could do
It's a mayday, it's a mayday,
Instead of guarding this desk for you
Time's up!
You've been wishing your life away
Time's up!
You've been wishing your life away
I'm getting very tired of waiting for the weekend
Then there's nothing when it comes around
I need a little more excitement, give me some advneture
I don't know how you've held me this long
It's a mayday, it's a mayday,
Time just marches on
It's a mayday, it's a mayday,
I don't know how you've held me this long
Time's up
You've been wishing your life away
(You've been wishing your life away)
Time's up
You've been wishing your life away
Chances are chances and I know I've had a few
But at the time it just seemed wrong
Now I'm sitting here wondering, waiting
Watching out his window
And I'm sure my day will come
It's a mayday, it's a mayday
Time just marches on
It's a mayday, it's a mayday
She looked down at my palm
I had to know what was in store for me
So many plans had gone wrong
She said her eys could see the future
She said that in my past
She'd seen a mountain in front of me
She said it wouldn't last
A change in luck would set me free
[Chorus]
The writing is on the wall
Those words will change it all
The writing is on the wall
Good luck is just a thought
I pick up the morning express
I turn to the page that is calling me
Lately I've been a mess
I've got to see what the lion says
The sun is in the fifth house
You're sure to feel its strong effects
The clouds are clearing away
This losing streak will end today
You don't know who to be nice to
You gotta watch what you say and do
You keep your hands in your pockets
(Close the door! Did you lock it?)
Hey all you sharks out there
You better be careful where you step
Don't say you've come to the right place
'Cause I've been here before
[Chorus]
And if it gets too hot, don't drop it
That's just the way of the world
And if you get pushed off, jump on it
And get to know the way of the world
Welcome to the way of the world
You see it everywhere these days
Some kind of modern ice age
And if they think that you've got it (hold on tight)
(Is that my money in your wallet?)
And I don't know what you think
It's not like it's a new thing
But everytime it starts happening
I know I've been here before
[Repeat Chorus]
This is just the way of the world
Oh...
Do we follow in the footsteps
Should we follow in the footsteps
Do we follow in the footsteps
Oh...
[Repeat Chorus]
Getting to know the way of the world
Whatever the way the wind blows I'm on it
So you won't tell me, where you've been up to now
I don't know, they've seen you come and go (oh)
You're well on your way but never leaving the chair
Playing scenes on T.V. screens
Watching widely to glimpse the full view
While the hours have their hands all over you
You say that you see me, well I see you too
I look behind, what do you find, all but an empty room
Scratching the surface and you can't get away
You've travelled far and so far you have nothing to say
[Chorus]
Scratching the surface
You better come up for air
A new experience to get you there
Scratching the surface
You better come up for air
Strapped to the media, a machine to fear
You're onto something then it slips right away
It's in your hand, follow through right in front of you
You say that you hear me, well I hear you too
My secret is no secret, outside of the tube
So you won't tell me, what you've done up to now
You're watching me, I'm watching you decide (oh)
Scratching the surface, you can't get away
You tried so hard, and so far you have nothing to say
Hey, you look like you're lost
Maybe you don't realize where you are
Now I'll tell you to stop
Just turn around and forget you made
A start
But you hesitate
Get ready get set
The longer you wait
The bigger I get
[Chorus]
I'm the scarecrow
You better stay just where you are
I'm the scarecrow
You know I'll never let you get too far
Hey, I see you're still here
Didn't you get something from our talk
Now your eyes make it clear
But nevertheless you know you won't get far
But you hesitate
Get ready get set
The longer you wait
The bigger I get
[Repeat Chorus]
I say, "Push off" but you move too slow
I tell you to step, but you just won't go
One of these days you'll wish you were dead
There's a scarecrow now lying under your bed
Ellery Sneed had one great need
To do everything just right
If things were not planned and all done by hand
He would ready himself for a fight
One afternoon while sitting alone
He came to a great realization
When it's his turn to die, will there be enough time
For plenty of planned preparations
With a few minutes thought his decision was clear
A fate most perfectly neat
Not a friend could remain to witness his death
So a terminal wine he would treat
The plan was to hold a very large feast
Serving the wine at the end
Joining the fun would be everyone
He'd been calling his friend
Invitations went out, all guests did arrive
The meal looked a great success
Deciding the time he brought out the wine
Up stood a familiar guest
"Here's a toast to our gracious host"
Said Ell's friend Billingford Bluffer
"Never in my life will I taste but a bite
Whatever happened to the friends we had
Just a dusty picture on the shelf
We had our troubles but the times we had
I get this feeling when I'm by myself
And when I get it, I get it bad
[Chorus]
I keep wakin' up with something new
Oh...
Am I losing you
Only time will tell
Oh...
I keep wakin' up with something new
Oh...
Am I losing you
Only time will tell
You took a piece of me with you
There was nothing I could do
You took a piece of me
Now where are you
Are you dusting pictures too
You were the one I never had to tell
My darkest secrets or how I felt
When I get lonely and I'm by myself
I try to imagine what you're doing now
Ohh...
[Repeat Chorus]
You took a piece of me with you
There was nothing I could do
You took a piece of me
Now where are you
Are you dusting pictures too
[Repeat Chorus]
Ohh...
You say I can't then I have to
Have all the things I don't need
I guess it's human nature
The animal in me
You can call it my obsession
You've got me under your spell
If there's something I am wanting
I'll just help myself
Thrill of the chase
When you get what you want
Will that be enough
Thrill of the chase
When you find you can't stop
Once is never enough
I like to touch the fire
Maybe some day I'll get burned
After all this chasing
Don't think I'll ever learn
So when you see me coming
You can run but you can't hide
"Cause when I know just what I'm after
I won't stop until I die
Thrill of the chase
When you get what you want
Will that be enough
Thrill of the chase
When you find you can't stop
Once is never enough
I don't know what I want to
Have all the things that I don't need
It must be human nature
Or it's the animal in me
Thrill of the chase
When you get what you want
Will that be enough
Thrill of the chase
When you find you can't stop
Once is never enough
Thrill of the chase
When you get what you want
Will that be enough
Thrill of the chase
When you find you can't stop
You are who we say you are
We know you know who we are
I know!
They don't think I understand
When I'm not feeling like myself
That's why I leave when I can
Taking the odd man out
Now and then I have the feeling
They're just outside looking in
When I'm surrounded by these strangers
I feel like the odd man out (here I am)
You are who we say you are
Why can't you leave me alone?
We know you know who we are
Why won't you tell me what you
Want from me?
I hear them having conversations
But they keep it to themselves
And half the time they can't remember
Who is the odd man out
I have so many mixed emotions
Is this life I live my own?
I hear them whispering my name
Am I the odd man out?
[Chorus]
Who am I to be this time?
Am I on my own?
Tell me who you see or do you know?
Who am I to be this time?
Make me feel at home
Don't let me spend too much time alone
Too much time alone
[Repeat Chorus]
They don't think I understand
When I'm not feeling like myself
That's why I leave when I can
(lyrics by Jim Crichton)
I've tried hard to tell you
You better, you better, you better be careful
Right down the line
And I am no stranger
It wasn't long ago, so very long ago
I was one of your kind
You'd better stop the running 'round and listen
'Cause when the lights come up
I'll have my eye on you
Once you mistook me
For the menace, the menace
Oh, if you'd only known
And that last confrontation
Was just a warning, so that you'd know
What would happen
If you push me too far
You'd better stop the running 'round and listen
"Cause when the lights come up
I'll have my eye on you
I see a cloudless sky before me
I'm searching for the ones, I'm searching for the ones
Who'd like to leave this all far behind them
And when I find you all we'll fade away
Maybe I'll be back, maybe I'll be back
In some other way
You'd better stop the running 'round and listen
Stop the running 'round and listen
'Cause when the lights come up
I'll have my eye on you
I've got my eyes on you
Now we're standing on the sidelines
Just watching how you play
With the toys that seems to outgrow you
I suppose we'll have to miss
What you'll decide to do
In a blink of an eye
(lyrics by Jim Crichton)
Far down below
He could see the scars
Left from the night before
Shadows of strength
That once stood firmly
Now laying in waste everywhere
An echo of planned
Resistant pounding
Still hanging thick in the air
A sudden arrival
No sound of warning
No time, no time
To prepare
As the clouds
Continued to open
Each vision was hard to believe
A horizon
Minimal motion
As far as the eye could see
His yesterday held
So much promise
His today only misbelief
And now the task of reconstruction
Salvaging all they could see
You're confused and desperate
And there's no help in sight
They've got you going round in circles
They've got you running for your life
All your cries for help
Have fallen on their fears
They're lost inside the system
The things are not what they appear
(Don't give in) Close your eyes and make a wish
(Just don't give in) I don't know if you know this
You were never alone, never without me
Don't have to take it anymore
Never alone
It might be thunder and lightning
Just another storm
You were never alone, never without me
Don't have to take this anymore
Never alone, I'm coming out of the shadows
To chase the demons from your door
Your running out of answers
And your back's against the wall
You're asking for directions
And no one hears your call
You were never alone, never with me
Don't have to take it anymore
Never alone, I'm coming out of the shadows
To chase the demons from your door
When I feel like
They're closing in on me
I can't take any more,
I walk away
And find an open door
When it seems like
I've got my
Back against the wall
You look my way
I know I'm not alone
Call it misbehaviour
Call it what you like
But all this misbehaving
Is just what I need tonight
Oh, you're not alone
When you feel like
There's no reason
No rhyme at all,
Look my way
It's not the end of the world
Call it misbehaviour
Call it what you like
But all this misbehaving
Is just what you need tonight
Call it misbehaviour
Call it what you like
But is it misbehaving
If you get what you want tonight?
So if it feels like
You're losing it
Don't let go
Don't hold it back
You've got to let me know
And when it seems like
They're closing in on you
Unlock that door
Look around
Can't you see that there's got to be more
Let it all go
We'll go all the way tonight
Call it misbehaviour
Call it what you like
But all this misbehaving
Is just what we need tonight
Call it misbehaviour
They can call it what they like
But is it misbehaving
If we get what we want tonight?
Call it misbehaviour
Call it what you like
But all this misbehaving
Is what we need tonight
Call it misbehaviour
Call it what you like
But are we misbehaving
I know about your reputation
I know you've seen better days
I've seen you turn the non believers
Into slaves
I just need some confirmation
What they're saying is it true
Believe in me and I'll believe in you
Now I know that you can help me
Turn this boy into a man
I'll leave it in your hands
I still have faith
I'm not the only one
From the cradle to the grave
I know I'll never change till I'm sure this can't be done
I still have faith
You know I've just begun
From the cradle to the grave
Pressure's on, the time is tight
You feel like there's
no end in sight
And all you feel
is numb from all
the voices yelling
"this can't go on"
"This can't go on."
There's plenty of ways
to make a man
feel like everybody thinks
that he's not wanted
"How do you feel?"
There's plenty of ways
to make a man
feel like everything he's done's
bin for nothing
"How do you feel?"
There's plenty of ways
to make a man
feel like anything he does
will end in tears.
"How do you feel?"
The time has come
to take your place
Ahead of those who've
tried to waste
Your time because they
thought that you weren't
strong enough
But this can't go on
It's time to be strong
There's plenty of ways
to make them all feel like
anything they say will make
you stronger.
"How do you feel?"
There's plenty of ways
to make 'em all
feel like every single damn
will hold no longer
"How do you feel?"
There's plenty of ways
to make 'em all
realize that it's finally time
to change
You've got us hanging off your every word
Patiently waiting a sign
One minute we can expect the absurd
Next minute everything's fine
So unpredictable no reason nor rhyme
Worse than the hours in a day
We seem to remember a well balanced time
Or was it always this way
[Chorus]
Hot to cold
Too hot to hold
Hot to cold
Too hot to hold
Too hot to...
Half a degree either way unconcerned
You shed no ray of relief
And plagued by a fear of your high winds of change
Day to night's difference is brief
Erratic shifts in your moods have us all
Under a high pressure sway
Showering us constantly playing your game
We have no choice but to play
You make me breathe you make me smile you make me cry but just for a while,
you give me the strength I need to go on and I can feel all your support
even oceans away, you are always by my side
and I am always here for you
yes I am always here for you
because I do love you
You are always by my side
and I am always here for you
because I do love you
because I'll always love you
you are always by my side and
I am always here for you
because I do love you
and I always love you
You are always by my side
and I am always here for you
Gonna buy me a steel umbrella
'Cause things ain't going too well
I go to bed thinking I'm in heaven
When I wake up I'm in hell
Take my dog for his morning walk
Shit am I glad he can't talk
Sooner or later it all comes back to me
You can bet on this
If it can happen
It'll happen to me (It'll happen to me)
Every time it happens
Why does it happen to me
Gonna buy me some more insurance
This asphalt surfin's getting to me
Accidents are an everyday occurrence
If there's a God, He's laughing at me
Might as well be the invisible man
See my footprints sinkin' in the quicksand
Sooner or later it all comes back to me
Bet on this
If it can happen (It'll happen to me)
Bet on this, if it can happen
Everytime it happens
Why does it happen to me
Bet on this
If it can happen (Buy me a steel umbrella)
It'll happen to me
I've been waiting here so long
For someone I can talk to
Coz I know where we went wrong
But it's really not the time or place
To talk about the problems
Now I've got you face to face
I'll tell you what I'm thinking of
Imagine how my heart feels
Now I know I'm still in love
Oh please don't cry
But I need to tell you one more time
I didn't mean to hurt you
I never meant to complicate your life
If I can hold you
'Cause I don't wanna be alone again tonight
Please don't look away
I've tried to say I'm sorry
For the things I never said
We can talk about who's to blame
But it really doesn't matter
I'm so tired of playing games
Oh please don't cry
But I need to tell you one more time
I didn't mean to hurt you
I never meant to complicate your life
If I can hold you
'Cause I don't wanna be alone again tonight
Oh please don't cry
But I need to tell you one more time
I didn't mean to hurt you
I never meant to complicate your life
If I can hold you
Look at him running there's so far to go,
He's very short of breath
And he'd said don't be late
Just don't be late
With his parcel tucked tight under his arm
He's sure he's passed half way
And he'd said don't be late
Just don't be late.
DID YOU DO EVERYTHING YOU'RE TOLD
THE INSTRUCTION YOU HAD WAS OLD
I wasn't sure if I'd hear you
I'm glad you're still allright
IT'S ALL BEEN ARRANGED FOR TEN
THE STREETS SHOULD BE CLEAR BY THEN
I've done all that you told me
I'm sure that they will wait
THEIR TIMING WAS MADE QUITE CLEAR
IF WE'RE LATE THEY WILL NOT APPEAR
They don't know, they don't know
They don't know how far we've had to go
CAN YOU PICK UP THIS SLOWING PACE
YOU'RE RUNNING A LOSING RACE
No ! Soon we'll see them
Then you'll know
That I have not delayed, he said
[Chorus]
Hurry and don't be late
You'd better hurry you might be late
Just hurry and don't be late
You'd better hurry you may be late
IF WE'RE LATE I WILL NOT SURVIVE
THEY WILL KEEP ME ALIVE
It's not too far now
And I can only wish you luck friend
I'M SORRY I GO ALONE
THIS METAL IS A COLD HOME
I can see they're waiting
A few more steps and you'll be there, he said
[Chorus]
Just hurry and don't be late
Tommy's on a mission
He's out to bend the rules
He's made his own decision
He's had enough of school
He wants to be an outlaw
But doesn't have a clue
Someday he'll be famous
We'll read it in the news
Chorus:
God knows where Tommy's gone
'Cause in his world it's all gone wrong
Should we speak up, or play along
When we close our eyes, it goes on and on
Tommy's getting nervous
The walls are closing in
He's so far above us
The air is getting thin
He finally made the headlines
A name without a face
His private revolution
Was lost without a trace
Repeat Chorus
(instrumental)
Where are you goin now?
Gonna track you down
Smile when I get a taste
Of your liquid grace again.
You seem to slip away
Away to some dark place
In your soul
Before and after time
There is not time to spare.
You were made for me
I'll make you believe
I'll never set you free
I'll see you in your dreams.
Now! I've got you in my sights
And I'll hypnotize
I don't care If i live or die
Just be there when I arrive.
You were made for me
I'll make you believe
I'll never set you free
I'll see you in your dreams.
You were made for me
As far as I can see
You're never far from me
Feel like
Feel like I'm falling
Falling in-- Falling out
Feel like
Feel like calling
Calling our for some kind of help
[Chorus]
Only you
You and the night
Only you
Can help me tonight
Feel like
Feel like I'm drowning
Reaching up for someone's hand
To pull me out
And I feel as though it's time I told you
Just how much I need to feel your love
Sometimes I feel like slipping away
I need a life of my own
Don't make me stay
Should I go now or should I wait
You are my flesh and blood
One wish is not enough
Let me go
All I want is to chase the wind
All I want is to feel that feeling again
Let me chase the wind
Sometimes the air's so thick I can't breathe
The longer that I wait
The harder to leave
So many time I should have broken free
You are my flesh and blood
One wish is not enough
Some things are never really over
[Chorus]
Let me go
All I want is to chase the wind
All I want is to feel that feeling again
Let me go
All I want is to dream again
All I want is to chase the wind
Let me chase the wind
If this dream lasts too long
There's a chance it may go wrong
And I may never get this chance again
Let me go
Let me go
[Repeat Chorus]
Im my wildest dreams
Oh, in my wildest dreams
Anything can happen
When I close my eyes
I can take you with me
Should I wait for you tonight
Oh...
In my wildest dreams
Are you in my future
Or someone from my past
I wake up with this feeling
That I've been with you at last
Oh...
In my wildest dreams
[Chorus]
Where do you go
And what do you see
Who do you touch
And how does it feel
In you wildest dreams
[Repeat Chorus]
Oh...
Oh...
[Repeat Chorus]
[Repeat Chorus]
In my wildest dreams
In my wildest dreams
In my wildest dreams
The stage is set, all ships have arrived
We know that only one will survive
Will it be me, will it be me, will it be you?
Suspension plates are drawn in tight
Central towers alert to the fight
Will it be me, will it be me, will it be you?
If you bring some you know
I'll have one better
What you want to know
I'll own forever
For years you've watched my vision grow
It's now come time for you to know
Will it be me, will it be me, will it be you?
Are you quite sure you've grown so strong
Since last we met it's not been long
Will it be me, will it be me, will it be you?
If you bring some you know
I'll have one better
What you want to know
I'll own forever
Southwest sector, they're at your door
Silos release black interceptor
Will it be you? Time perfection, defence selection
Intercept without detection
Will it be you?
My contact's made with your feeble raid
Your fleet lies silent, black starlit grave
Will it be me?
Computer dance
Metallic romance
It really seems you had no chance
Yes ! It will be me.
"Don't Be Late"
"Wind Him Up"
"Where's My Money?"
Imagine if you will
Having more than you had planned
And now that it's all yours
You just can't wait to wash your hands
Chances are, it just might come true
Have you ever made a wish
And held your breath for days
And when you get that wish
You can't wish it away
Chances are, it just might come true
Chances are, it just might come true
You were once my vice
Now you're just like ice
So cold and too cool
You know how to hypnotize
You wear a great disguise
I've learned to see through
[Chorus]
What do I know
What do I know
I'm confused by things that you do
What do I know
What do I know
I can't stop thinking about you
I don't see wrong from right
But I could see the light
Stopped shining in you
And on a distant night
You went and lost the fight
That made me look up to you
[Repeat Chorus]
[Repeat Chorus]
What did you change for
[Repeat Chorus]
What did you change for
Annie's got a thing about leather
Bobby's got a thing about lace
Maryanne's getting light as a feather
Just like the nose that used to be on her face
Somebody tell me
what the hell is goin' on
Oh Please
Cause I've bin standing here
for way too long.
Welcome to our Zoo
Welcome to the Zoo
We saved a room for you.
Sally's got a ring in her naval
Larry's got a spoon up his nose
Peggy Sue likes to eat when she's able
Have we been here before?
Oh...
Have we been here before?
Oh...
Someone took me by the hand
And lead me through an open door
And told me, you're just what I'm looking for
Oh...
I try so hard to understand
Why the picture seemed so real
'Cause I know better than to think I was dreaming
[Chorus One]
You know I see it in your eyes
But if it's just imagination
Why do I get this feeling
We've been here before
I turned 'round, shook my head in doubt
Was it just a fantasy
Or are you more than just a memory
Oh...
Something's familiar every time
But somehow never quite the same
It feels like I'm playin' someone else's game
[Repeat Chorus One]
[Chorus Two]
I must have tried a thousand times
And yet you still refuse to listen
Still I get this feeling
We've been here before
Oh...
[Repeat Choruses One and Two]
Have you been listening?
We must have more supplies
We will be on our way tonight
Don't want to miss a thing
We've got to build it right
You know we're running out of time
What I do, I do for you
Chorus:
I can't tell you how, where or when
But I can tell you we'll meet again
I can't tell you how, where or when
But we all know this won't be the end
I would do anything
To bring it back to life
You'll see a new light in the sky
If I don't do a thing
I'll always wonder why
Why I just left them there to die
All I do, I do for you
Repeat Chorus
(Instrumental)
(instrumental)
You were a star
You know you had it all
You always had a way
To leave them wanting more
We thought we'd lost you
You found an open door
That air of confidence
That needed no support
(But it's okay) Say goodbye to Hollywood
Don't you know we've come too far
(My matinee) My heart breaks
One more for the camera
(Fade to gray) And say goodbye to Hollywood
We were never who we are
(My matinee) You will always leave me wanting more
The future claimed you
And you were left behind
The road you traveled on
Has broken down with time
Gone but not forgotten
To reappear some day
You know I'm always here
You'll never fall from grace
Like a rhythm needs a dancer
Just a shadow on the wall
You know there was a time
He fancied himself a professional dreamer
Never much good at pretending to be something else
Often times he would sit there expressionless
Staring at nothing and everything at the same time
[Chorus]
Sometimes he hear voices ...
It's that space in his head you say
Sometimes he hear voices ...
Then they just seem to fade away
Gone it an instant, without notice
One minute with us, next minute miles away
This time Vienna, next time Calais
The further the better with little or no delay
[Repeat Chorus]
One day he took it a little too far
Woke up ... standing ... right where you are !
Surrounded by strangers and stranger surroundings
Staring at nothing and everything at the same time
Sometimes he hear voices ...
It's that space in his head you say
Sometimes he hear voices ...
But they just seem to fade away
He woke up in a sweat
With a fading dream
But one picture still stood clear
And he wasn't sure if he could see it any other way
They're like a tiny dot
On an endless page
Just waiting to be erased
And it was clear to him they were treating it like a game
You've got too much to lose
You've got too much to lose
He looked out on the field
They were hard at work Like locusts in flight
And it almost looked as though they liked what they had to do
The sound of metal being shaped
To enable its flight
Not that far away
And as the numbers grew, their swarm blackened his view
You've got too much to lose
You've got too much to lose
A vision of buildings sitting empty
There's not a person to be found
All the cars sit silently waiting
All the leaves have fallen to the ground
Waves crash with no interruption
There's not a ship that you can see
No rock is thrown to change its motion
Rhythms moving, all naturally
A sleeping world, just waiting
A tired world
A sleeping world, just waiting
A tired world
A phone is ringing in the distance
A pulse with no end, no enemy
This cry has no one left it can bother
The person may have left suddenly
A lot of wasted words were spoken
Many vain attempts were made
No one realized that in the long run
It was ourselves we could have saved
A sleeping world, just waiting
A tired world A sleeping world, just waiting
A tired world
She never makes commitments
She's never short of alibis
When I ask the same old questions
She always tells me lies
There's something missing in her life
But what it is she won't say
And when I try to. . .
Try to reach her
She simply pulls away
Listening to her promises
Believing all her lies
Listen to those empty promises
One more time
She never thinks about the future
She lives from day to day
Sometimes I have to wonder
What kind of game she plays
So much emotion in her eyes
But so much emptiness inside
I know she wants to give you everything
I know I'm wasting my time
Listening to her promises
Believing all her lies
But when I hear those empty promises
I see through her disguise
Why do I listen to her empty promises
Believing in all her lies
Why will I listen to those empty promises
One more time
She promised the world to me
Tonight She promised to stay with me all night
Tonight Listen to those empty promises
I'm up each day
At the crack of dawn
Primed for the first inspection
He's runnin the home and the family
Like a military installation
(This can't be right)
(I feel so helpless)
I can't do this and I can't do that
I dare not make a move
Without his orders
No matter how well I do what I do
It's never good enough, (not for him)
[Chorus]
Helpless,
I feel so helpless
Helpless,
(I) don't like to be so helpless
I don't wish to feel in my own home
Some kind of prisoner
There must be a way to put a stop
To his violent behavior
[Repeat Chorus]
Somehow somethings' changed around the house
It suddenly seems so calm
Now what are we supposed to do
With all of this new found freedom
No more
Going for the more familiar
No more
The nervous anxious grin
No more
Turning away from the peculiar
No more
Afraid of letting anyone in
[Chorus]
Oh... The sound of strangers
Clawing at the door
Oh... The sound of strangers
Doesn't scare me anymore
No more
The fear of making the wrong impression
No more
Sitting on the edge of my chair
No more
Looking for approval on a quick decision
No more
Watching me from over there
[Repeat Chorus]
Once again he lays his pen down
And rubs his tired eyes
A few small words are all he needs
To help him win the prize
Sometimes he finds it so damn hard
There's so many different ways
To say exactly what he means
Within a simple phrase
[Chorus]
Take it or leave it
You're going to have to read between the lines
Take it or leave it
It's got to come out different every time
Take it or leave it
You're going to have to read between the lines
Take it or leave it
It's got to come out different every time
Taking time with every line
Being careful no to stray
It's easy to interpret this
A hundred different ways
Sometimes he finds it so damn hard
To be more clever than before
Yet knowing how to satisfy
He leaves you wanting more
Don't you feel like somebody owes you?
Don't you feel like you've got something coming?
Don't you think you've been taken advantage of?
Don't you think it's time to get even?
Think back, you must be a victim
You must be a victim some way
Think back, who can we sue
Who can we screw today?
Don't you feel like they all want a piece of you?
Don't you feel like someone's got it in for you?
Think back, you must be a victim
You must be a victim some way
Think back, who can we sue
Who can we screw today?
I don't know how I got here
Don't know why you went away
I only hope you're listening
To what I'm tryin' to say
I'm just tryin' to reach you
What ever way I can
Maybe if I hold you
And make you understand
Don't know what you're thinking
Can't imagine how you feel
But I think you must be lonely
Living inside a dream
I'd do anything
To be right there where you are
Just know that I'll be waiting
Just don't go too far
I built my world around you
You're always on my mind
I can't imagine life without you
Don't you realize
Don't care how you got there
But I won't let you slip away
I only hope you're listening
To what I'm tryin' to say
I'm just tryin' to reach you
What ever way I can
I just wanna hold you
And make you understand
Feel and love to take
When you get what you want
Will that be enough
Feel and love to take
When you find you can't stop
Once is never enough
Feel and love to take
When you get what you want
Will that be enough
Feel and love to take
When you find you can't stop
