Now one fell asleep in the street and he never woke up And now one died in pieces in his bed with a mouth full of bones And one threatened me long ago, I saw him melt in the bright light of day And one laid to rest in a field under stories and clones
I've been wanderin sideways I've stared straight into the sun Still I don't know why you're dying Long before your time has come Your time has come
Now one took some bullets in the chest in a deal gone wrong And one got a little too depressed and he went and jumped the gun One got shot right in the face and he somehow survived But he doesn't know my name or who I am and I'm not surprised
I've been wanderin sideways I've stared straight into the sun Still I don't know why you're dying Long before your time has come
I've been wanderin sideways I've stared straight into the sun Still I don't know why you're dying Long before your time has come
I've seen 50,000 names all engraved on a stone Most of them men under the grave years before I was born All of them left brothers and sisters and mothers behind And most of their family and friends have all had their time
I've been wanderin sideways I've stared straight into the sun And I don't know why you're dying Long before your time has come
I've been wanderin sideways I've stared straight into the sun And I don't know why you're dying Long before your time has come Long before your time has come Long before your time has come And your time has come
When I first came to this island that I called by own name I was happy in this fortress, in my exile I remained But the hours grew so empty and the ocean sent her waves In the figure of a woman and she pulled me out to sea
[Chorus] When you come down to take me home send my soul away When you come round you'll make me whole send my soul away
On the altar of a sunrise was a wedding in the waves And inside her shown a young light from her labor I was saved Though I've traveled long in darkness in her harvest I'm embraced
[Chorus] When you come down to take me home send my soul away When you come round you'll make me whole send my soul away
Now the spires and the gables grow in orchards to the sky And the blessings on my table multiply and divide
[Chorus] When you come down to take me home send my soul away Yeah when you come round you'll make me whole send my soul away Yeah when you come down to take me home when you come round you'll make me whole Yeah when you come round to take me home Send my soul away send my soul away Send my soul away send my soul away
Someone falls to pieces Sleepin all alone Someone kills the pain Spinning in the silence To finally drift away Someone gets excited In a chapel yard Catches a bouquet Another lays a dozen White roses on a grave
To be yourself is all that you can do To be yourself is all that you can do
Someone finds salvation in everyone And another only pain Someone tries to hide himself Down inside himself he prays Someone swears his true love Untill the end of time Another runs away Separate or united? Healthy or insane?
To be yourself is all that you can do To be yourself is all that you can do To be yourself is all that you can do To be yourself is all that you can do
And even when you've paid enough, been pulled apart or been held up With every single memory of the good or bad faces of luck don't lose any sleep tonight I'm sure everything will end up alright
You may win or lose
But to be yourself is all that you can do To be yourself is all that you can do
I walk the streets of Japan till I get lost 'Cause it doesn't remind me of anything With a graveyard tan carrying a cross Yeah, it doesn't remind me of anything I like studying faces in a parking lot 'Cause it doesn't remind me of anything I like driving backwards in the fog 'Cause it doesn't remind me of anything
The things that I've loved, the things that I've lost Things I've held sacred, that I've dropped I won't lie no more, you can bet I don't want to learn what I'll need to forget
I like gypsy moths and radio talk 'Cause it doesn't remind me of anything I like gospel music and canned applause 'Cause it doesn't remind me of anything I like colorful clothing in the sun 'Cause it doesn't remind me of anything I like hammering nails and speaking in tongues 'Cause it doesn't remind me of anything
The things that I've loved, the things that I've lost Things I've held sacred, that I've dropped I won't lie no more, you can bet I don't want to learn what I'll need to forget
Bend and shape me I love the way you are Slow and sweetly Like never before Calm and sleeping We won't stir up the past So discretely We won't look back
The things that I've loved, the things that I've lost Things I've held sacred, that I've dropped I won't lie no more, you can bet I don't want to learn what I'll need to forget
I like throwing my voice and breaking guitars 'Cause it doesn't remind me of anything I like playing in the sand, what's mine is ours If it doesn't remind me of anything
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
Anchor the night, open the sky Hide in the hours before sunrise Pray for me not, I won't lose sight Of where I belong and where you lie
Well, heaven's dead when you get sad I see your wishes fly Out of time For the best time you've had
Shipwreck the sun, I'm on your side An army of one, onward we will ride Whisper your songs, birds to the air We'll bury all of our burdens there
Well, heaven's dead when you get sad I see your wishes fly Out of time For the best time you've had Heaven's dead when you get sad I see your wishes flying Out of time For the best time you've had
For the best time you've had Best time you had Heaven's dead when you get sad
Heaven's dead when you get sad I see your wishes fly Out of time For the best time you've had Heaven's dead when you get sad I see your wishes flying Out of time
I'll take it all, arrows or guns Hundreds more to save you from one
To save you from one To save you from one Heaven's dead when you get sad
Was a time early in life When I hated everything Born too young, top of my lungs Sitting on the bottom rung Took advice from the wrong shoulder Took a lot of everything I've decided to make it alright with my
Halo I'm complete Halo With me underneath Halo I'm reborn I can do no wrong
Black and blue, suffering fools By the age of seventeen Low and high, just one more time Felt like an eternity Right or wrong, never too strong Friends became my enemies God forsaken, but never too late with my
Halo I'm complete Halo With me underneath Halo I'm reborn I can do no wrong
You'll never change You'll never change
Halo I'm complete Halo With me underneath Halo I'm reborn I can do no
Halo I'm complete Halo With me underneath Halo I'm reborn I can do no wrong
You give me a heart attack You look like the summertime You call me an artifact But I'll save that for another time I could be rich or poor I don't need anymore
Keep your love inside the kitchen You can feed me anything Leave the feathers on the chicken Peel the leather from your skin I can be young or old Sweet or sad, hot or cold
Man or animal, I don't care at all Find the antidote underneath the dose Man or animal, obidient- out of control
I will love you more than money I will breathe you in the smoke I will drink you in my honey Sweet and golden down my throat When you're right, when you're wrong Head is near, eyes are gone You can drown my appetite I will sip your tears at night You can tie me to a chair Skin and bones, I don't care I could be rich or poor I don't need anymore
Man or animal, I don't care at all Find the antidote underneath the dose Man or animal, obedient- out of control Man or animal, I don't care at all Find the antidote underneath the dose Man or animal, obedient- out of control out of control
You give me a heart attack I will give you more than that You give me a heart attack I will give you more than that
Beauty is what the eyes behold And you burn brighter than most I chased you thru the midnight streets To be where I could speak freely I didn't care what tomorrow held I felt the world turning only for us Only bliss now for you and me Rise up let life's kiss send us reeling And unlike the times before From yesterday comes tomorrow When life comes alive the past moves aside No regrets and no remorse We have more than everything More than man or machine More than luck More than fiction Higher than any religion
And unlike the times before From yesterday comes tomorrow When life comes alive the past moves aside No regrets and no remorse We'll squeeze the blood out of life And say goodnight to the silver of old Even when wrong we're right Far beyond the world of diamonds and gold I've come to realize Where happiness lies I want you to know I know And unlike the times before When life comes alive the past moves aside No regrets no remorse
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 All of your tomorrows shine
Listen now, let me speak I will be the dog at your feet And come along when you call Be the little bird in your straw and sing you a song I'll be there to take the fall Though you tread upon me for no reason at all
[Chorus] But just when you think you've left me blind I will keep you in the corner of my eye
I will never leave your side Though you call me your number one zero your nevermind I'll be your king, I'll be your pawn I will builid a pedestal and put you upon it
[Chorus] But just when you think you've left me blind I'll be creeping right up behind Cause if I need to I will keep you in the corner of my eye corner of my eye
Down on the street, over your night Out of your sleep, out of your sight if I need to, if I need to Out of your mouth, in every word Down in your ego one thing is sure I will keep you, I will keep you
[Chorus] But just when you think you've left me blind I will be creeping right up behind Cause baby if I need to Lord, I will keep you in the corner of my eye I will be the bird in your straw But you won't get far I will keep you in the corner of my eye
Help me, I don't know what I'm doing Help me before I fall to ruin And if I'm blind, I will lead you on Come, follow me now before our time is gone
And as you're laughing at this fool tonight Let me rid myself of any line that I might use to trip you up And as I'm howling at the moonlight Don't you kid yourself, I will be your luck And never be your curse Never be your curse
Help me, I don't know what I'm saying Sometimes this tongue can be betraying And if I'm wrong, is that such a crime? And if you want, you can set my words to right
And as you're laughing at this fool tonight Let me rid myself of any line that I might use to trip you up And as I'm howling at the moonlight Don't you kid yourself, I will be your luck
And if your eyes forget to well And if your lies forget to tell And if our paths forget to cross It doesn't mean you're lost
So as you're laughing at this fool tonight Let me rid myself of any line that I might use to trip you up And as I'm howling at the moonlight Don't you kid yourself, I will be your luck
As you're laughing at this fool tonight Let me rid myself of any line that I might use to trip you up And as I'm howling at the moonlight Don't you kid yourself, I will be your luck Even at my worst I will be your luck Never be your curse
