It's quiet now And what it brings Is everything Comes calling back A brilliant night I'm still awake I looked ahead I'm sure I saw you there You don't need me To tell you now That nothing can compare You might have laughed if I told you You might have hidden A frown You might have succeeded in changing me I might have been turned around It's easier to leave than to be left behind Leaving was never my proud Leaving New York, never easy I saw the light fading out Now life is sweet And what it brings I tried to take But loneliness It wears me out It lies in way And all not lost Still in my eyes The shadow of necklace Across your thigh I might've lived my life in a dream, but I swear This is real Memory fuses and shatters like glass Mercurial future, forget the past It's you, it's what I feel You might have laughed if I told you (it's pulling me apart) You might have hidden a frown (change) You might have succeeded in changing me (it's pulling me apart) I might have been turned around (change) It's easier to leave than to be left behind (it's pulling me apart) Leaving was never my proud (change) Leaving New York, never easy (it's pulling me apart) I saw the light fading out You find it in your heart, it's pulling me apart You find it in your heart, change ... I told you, forever I love you, forever I told you, I love you I love you, forever I told you, forever You never, you never You told me forever You might have laughed if I told you You might have hidden the frown You might have succeeded in changing me I might have been turned around It's easier to leave than to be left behind (it's pulling me apart) Leaving was never my proud (change) Leaving New York never easy (it's pulling me apart) I saw the life fading out (change) Leaving New York, never easy (it's pulling me apart) I saw the light fading out (change) Leaving New York never easy (it's pulling me apart) I saw the life fading out (change) |

You took me to the restaurant where we first met You knocked a future shock crowbar upside my head I got caught with the stop of the tick-tock, tick-tock clock When you told me what you knew Lost in the moment The day that the music stopped And I do remember you Drawing patterns with a cork on the tablecloth Promising volcanic change of plot Where will this lead us - I'm scared of the storm The outsiders are gathering, a new day is born I tried to tell you I am not afraid You looked up and saw it all across my face So am I with you or am I against I don't think it's that easy - we're lost in regret Now I'm trying to remember The feeling when the music stopped When you told me what you knew Lost in the moment The day that the music stopped And I do remember you Drawing patterns with a cork on the tablecloth Promising volcanic change of plot Where does this leave us - I'm scared of the storm The outsiders are gathering, a new day is born Drawing patterns with a cork on the tablecloth Promising volcanic change of plot Where does this leave us - I'm scared of the storm The outsiders are gathering, a new day is born The outsiders are gathering, a new day is born The outsiders are gathering A man walks away when every muscle says to stay How many yesterdays - they each weigh heavy Who says what changes may come? Who says what we call home? I know you see right through me, my luminescence fades The dusk provides an antidote, I am not afraid I've been a million times in my mind This is really just a technicality, frailty, reality Uh, it's time to breathe, time to believe Let it go and run towards the sea They don't teach that, they don't know what you mean They don't understand, they don't know what you mean They don't get it, I wanna scream I wanna breathe again, I wanna dream I wanna float a quote from Martin Luther King I am not afraid I am not afraid I am not afraid I am not afraid I am not afraid I am not afraid I am not afraid |

You threw away the ballast and you rowed your boat ashore Didn't you, now? Didn't you? You made your ultimatum too big to ignore Didn't you, now? Didn't you? So you worked out your excuses, turned away and shut the door. The world's too vast for us now, and you wanted to explore It's a long, long long road And I don't know which way to go If you offered me your hand again I'd have to walk away. When I saw you at the street fair, you called out my name Didn't you, now? Didn't you? You said we could start over, try and make it all okay. Didn't you, now? Didn't you? So our past has been rewritten and you threw away the pen. You'd said that I was useless, but now you'll take me in again Well Jesus loves me fine. And your words fall flat this time. Was it my imagination, or did I hear you say, "We don't have a prayer between us." Didn't you believe that I have finally turned away? Didn't you, now? Didn't you? Anything to hold onto to help me through my day. Didn't you, now? Didn't you? Jesus loves me fine. But his words fall flat this time. It's a long, long long road And I don't know which way to go If you offered me your world, did you think I'd really stay? If you offered me the heavens, I would have to turn away. Was it my imagination, or did I hear you say, "We don't have a prayer between us." Didn't you, now? Didn't you, now? Didn't you? |

As I raise my head to broadcast my objection As your latest triumph draws the final straw Who died and lifted you up to perfection? And what silenced me is written into law. I can't believe where circumstance has thrown me And I turn my head away If I look I'm not sure that I could face you. Not again. Not today. Not today. If hatred makes a play on me tomorrow And forgiveness takes a back seat to revenge There's a hurt down deep that has not been corrected There's a voice in me that says you will not win. And if I ignore the voice inside, Raise a half glass to my home. But it's there that I am most afraid, And forgetting doesn't hold. It doesn't hold. Now I don't believe and I never did That two wrongs make a right. If the world were filled with the likes of you Then I'm putting up a fight. Putting up a fight. Putting up a fight. Make it right. Make it right. Now love cannot be called into question. Forgiveness is the only hope I hold. And love... love will be my strongest weapon. I do believe that I am not alone. For this fear will not destroy me. And the tears that have been shed It's knowing now where I am weakest And the voice in my head. In my head. Then I raise my voice up higher And I look you in the eye And I offer love with one condition. With conviction, tell me why. Tell me why. Tell me why. Look me in the eye. Tell me why. |

You know where I come from You know what I feel You're Yul Brenner Westworld Reporting from the field I threw it into reverse Made a motion to repeal You kicked my legs from under me And tried to take the wheel I told you I wanted to be wrong But everyone is humming a song That I don't understand Now I know that the sun has shined on my side of the street The basket of America, the weevils and the wheat The milk and honeyed congregation, scrubbed and apple-cheeked Salute Apollo 13 from the rattle jewelry seats Mythology's seductive and it turned a trick on me That I have just begun to understand I told you I wanted to be wrong But everyone is humming a song That I don't understand The rodeo is staged, gold circle goat-ropers and clowns A rumble in the third act, tie 'em up and burn 'em down We're armed to the teeth, born a little breech Blue-plate special analysts, cells and SUV's We can't approach the Allies cause they seem a little peeved And speak a language we don't understand I told you I wanted to be wrong But everyone is humming a song That I don't understand (Prop up The Omega Man, we're primed for victory God gave us the upper hand, there's honor among thieves Temper it with arrogance, a dash of sad conceit The top's down on the T-Bird, we're the children of the free) Storm into the boardroom of the conquering elite Did you recognize the madman who is shouting in the streets? Destroy the things that I don't understand Destroy the things that I don't understand |

Looks like I pulled a fast one Looks like I went to town Looks like the world revolves around me Looks like it's falling down I thought I'd kicked the traces I thought the wheels would spin I thought I'd jumped the fence and bolted Looks like I'm back again I got my signals crossed It's overwhelming because I'm all alone and I can't get back Get back with my wanderlust I had to grab a suitcase I had to change my clothes I had to run the shower hot until the water froze I brushed against confusion I wanted time to grow I want the sticks and stones not to throw me get back to what I know I got my signals crossed It's overwhelming because I'm all alone and I can't get back Get back with my wanderlust I'm searching for a greatness I smear it on my face I want to bathe in grape must swim the length of the milky way I want it to be brilliant I want it to be sweet I want to kiss the astronauts when they salute to me me me me I got my signals crossed It's overwhelming because I'm all alone and I can't get back Get back with my wanderlust I got my signals crossed It's overwhelming because I'm all alone and I can't get back Get back with my wanderlust |

Now the radio stutters. snaps to life Some sour song that sets it right And when London falls He'd like to call But the stars collide They're beautiful and much maligned In a universe where you see the worst And it's up to you to fix it Now you've worked it out And you see it all And you've worked it out And you see it all And you want to shout How you see it all It's easy to dismiss the "what's it all about" crowd There is no doubt. it's this, here, now And you close your eyes He's not coming back So you work it out, overfeed the cat And the plants are dry and they need to drink So you do your best. and you flood the sink Sit down in the kitchen and cry Now you've worked it out And you see it all And you've worked it out And you see it all And you want to shout How you see it all Now the universe left you for a runners lap It feels like home when it comes crashing back And it makes you laugh And it makes you cry When London falls And you're still alive The radio stutters It makes you laugh And the aftermath Open up your eyes You're so alive Now you've worked it out And you see it all And you've worked it out And you see it all And you want to shout How you see it all How you've worked it out And you see it all How you've worked it out And you see it all |

When I look into your eyes Your drop like an anchor eyes I scudded and clipped the sky Just shy of making it And you almost got away I told you I was afraid Did I really want to try You're holding me to my claim I jump on a high speed train I'll never look back again I flail like the antelope Who jumped from the building And you caught me on the sly You've taken me by surprise You've mirrored my best disguise and Turned it back on me I jump on a high speed train I'll never look back again I flail like the antelope Who jumped from the building I jump on a high speed train I'll never look back again To Berlin, Kyoto or Marseilles I'd go anywhere for you I'll bring you a big bouquet I picked it myself today it compliments your eyes there's love at the end of the line I jump on a high speed train I'll never look back again I flail like the antelope Who jumped from the building I jump on a high speed train I'll never look back again To Berlin, Kyoto or Marseilles I'd go anywhere for you And that's what I always knew I'd like to have hung the moon I'd wrestle you for a spoon inside your sleeping bag Just us No war. no hate. no past It's real I'm here. I'm yours. I'm fast I'm long in the eye I'm cry when I try I just want to fly Just you and I, together |

So hesitation pulled me back I'm stronger when I don't attract In your eyes I'm a lamb without a rack And I am getting confused I'm a cactus trying to be a canoe As you pan for ore In the desert, floored I say to you That I could never imagine a place so beautiful I could never steal your gold away Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah ... (I try to walk like a big wham bam I came across like a battering ram I try to float like a telegram sam I'm trying to divine you) My book is called "The Ascent Of Man" I marked your chapter with a catamaran The accent's off But I am what I am Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah ... (I try to walk like a big wham bam I came across like a battering ram I try to float like a telegram sam I'm trying to divine you) I looked for you, it's my last grandstand A motorscootered goat legged pan Figure eighting in quicksand ... Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah ... (I try to walk like a big wham bam I try to float like a telegram sam I came across like a battering ram I'm trying to divine you) (I try to walk like a big wham bam I try to float like a telegram sam I came across like a battering ram I'm trying to divine you) So hesitation pulled me back I'm so in love I don't attract And with my hands tied I won't crack (Cause in my mind I called you back) |

I want the sun to shine on me I want the truth to set me free I wish the followers would lead with a voice so strong it could knock me to my knees Hold on world cause you don't know what's coming Hold on world cause I'm not jumping off Hold onto this boy a little longer Take another trip around the sun If I jumped into the ocean to believe If I climbed a mountain would I have to reach? Do I even dare to speak?--to dream?--believe? Give me a voice so strong I can question what I have seen Hold on world cause you don't know what's coming Hold on world cause I'm not jumping off Hold onto this boy a little longer Take another trip around the sun Around the sun Around the sun Around the sun Let my dreams set me free Believe. believe Now now now now now now |
