One man standing on the plains of Abraham
Watching a damaged sunrise One man standing near the edge of a quiet Breakdown I watch the sea It helps to anchor me I watch the sea It helps to anchor me Once you start hiding, you keep on hiding 'Til your paranoia calms down Once you start watching, you keep on watching 'Til you're tied up and you're spell-bound Just between the ice ages, anyway I want to talk, but I haven't got too much to say I don't mean to be so nihilistic Forgive me if I seem to be too realistic Once you start running, you keep on running 'Til your muscles start to break down Once you start falling, you keep on falling 'Til you hit the cold, cold ground I watch TV What do you want from me? I watch TV What do you want from me? Just between the ice ages, anyway I want to talk, I haven't got enough to say I don't mean to be so nihilistic Forgive me if I seem to be too realistic Once you start hiding, you keep on hiding 'Til you feel you're safe and sound Once you start watching, you keep on watching 'Til you're tied up and you're spell-bound I watch the sea It helps to anchor me I watch the sea I saw it on TV |

Living in the present tense
When you lose the past The future makes no sense Living in the present tense When there's nothing to blame No victim of consequence Living in the present tense Crawling out Secure and confident Imbued with innocence Ready for the world Suddenly The view was more intense Living in a different Kind of world You're living Living in the present tense When you lose the past The future makes no sense Living in the present tense When there's nothing to blame No victim of consequence Living in the present tense Something is said It made me step outside The moment eyes pan right And left around my world Open yourself Up to the possibility Aware of some reality Outside your world In a silent universe The moment can be so real You almost can't stand it In a distant universe Distracted from ourselves You can't help but wonder In a crowded universe When the talking turns to noise You almost start laughing You're living Living in the present tense When you lose the past The future makes no sense Living in the present tense When there's nothing to blame No victim of consequence Living in the present tense When there's nothing to blame No victim of consequence Living in the present tense Living in the present tense |

I've gone flying, trying to reach you
You've been hiding, riding me to a state like this Give me that window to Give me that window to Give me that window to the world We are sailing, flailing through the ether You've been trailing, failing me with your view of bliss A little more than this A little less than that You've got magic in your hands A little more like this A little less like that I've got magic in my hands Give me that window to Give me that window to Give me that window to the world You've conspired, inspired me to find a place like this Give me that window to Give me that window to Give me that window to the world |

Drawn lies, strong and clear
Make it bend to your will All the lines interface So hard to make stand still Till the flaws disappear Till what's wrong disappears Till all that's wrong will disappear Working at perfekt Got me down on my knees Success to failure Just a matter of degrees Success to failure Just a matter of degrees All the colors of the day Have somehow disappeared All the colors of the universe Are closer than they appear Are not as close as they appear Are not as close as they appear Are not as close as they appear Nothing is perfekt, certainly not me Success to failure Is just a matter of degrees Working at perfekt Got me down on my knees And when it's right, it's right as rain And when it's right, there is no pain And when it's right, it's not again Working at perfekt Got you down on your knees Success to failure Just a matter of degrees Success to failure Just a matter of degrees |

Nothing blooms in a loveless room
You've got to want it, you've got to want it Who's the fool where apathy rules You've got to want it, you've got to want it If you don't want it, it remains the same It's a heart of darkness that wants to play that game If there's no defiance it remains insane If it's all compliance, it's a runaway train Nothing so cruel where malevolence rules You've got to want it, you've got to want it There is no defense against pointed arrogance You've got to want it, you've got to want it If you don't want it, it remains the same It's a heart of darkness that wants to play that game It can be surprising when you lose the shame And the sun starts rising, another day to tame If you're heart is aching, just remove the shame You've got to want it, give your soul a shaking And refuse the blame, you've got to want it Who's the fool, where apathy rules? You've got to want it, you've got to want it If you don't want it, it remains the same It's a heart of darkness, that wants to play that game If there's no defiance it remains insane If it's all compliance, it's a runaway train It's a runaway train |

Where the air's not clean
Where the water's glowing green Where the dogs are mean I'm moving to Bohemia Taking you along Say goodbye to suburbia You don't have to cut the lawn I had a dream of a different place I had a dream that you had a different face I heard a scream of a desperate kind I've got a feeling that you're gonna love what you'll find Where we're on TV Where the money grows on trees Where the beer is free I'm moving to Bohemia Taking you along Say goodbye to Utopia We'll wave before we're gone I had a dream of a different place I had a dream that you had a different face I hear the beat of an anxious heart I feel the heat, it's time for us to start, time for us to start I'm moving to Bohemia Where the literature's obscene Bathing in Euphoria Where the naked truth is on the screen I had a dream of a different place I had a dream that you had a different face I hear the beat of an anxious heart I feel the heat, it's time for us to start I heard a scream of a desperate kind I've got a feeling that you're gonna love what you'll find You're gonna love what you'll find You're gonna love what you'll find |

Meant to tell you
Tell you from the start Meant to show you What's inside this shallow heart But I could not find the words Worthy enough to say I slipped along the way I slipped along the way Tried to be there Be there if you fall Tried to make you feel big When life makes you feel small But I could not find the steps Quickly enough to take I slipped along the way I slipped along the way I slipped along the way I slipped along the way I want to change things Want to clear the air Fix the things around us So, badly in need of repair I might not have the sense Sense enough to change I slipped along the way I slipped along the way I slipped along the way I slipped along the way |

Trick of the light
Or just a loss of perspective Flaw in the grand plan Just the way it is Looks good from a distance But closer I come It becomes more daunting But these moments will pass Still halfway up the hill My fingers may bleed But I've got to get there, still Lost in an abstract thought Dazed and distracted Winded but still I'm caught With a fragment of doubt Slowed by reflection But these moments will pass Still halfway up the hill My fingers may bleed But I've got to get there, still It's just confusion and illusion Easily overdone Here comes revolution, absolution It's not an illusion, not a fiction Easily overcome Here comes revolution, absolution Trick of the light Or just too much perspective Looks good from a distance But the closer I come It becomes more daunting But these moments will pass Still halfway up the hill My fingers may bleed But I've got to get there Still standing on the hill My spirit's released But I've got to get there, still But I've got to get there Still standing on the hill My spirit's released |
