The violinist puts his violin away
Forbidden city broken into tonight I use my blindfold to dry my tears The stage is empty and tired of light But when I do the fan dance I'm all the red in China I'm dialing life up on my telescope Fringe and mathematics Shaking down the curtain To find the dragon parade When I do the fan dance Searchlights answer gunfire Angels escort falling mercies Hearts shut off like streetlights But even in the blackout I'll find my balcony rose The violinist puts his violin away Forbidden city broken into tonight I use my blindfold to dry the tears The stage is empty and tired of light When I do the fan dance I'm firecracker lightning I burn with no trace up in the cold sky I am broken open, waiting for inventions Of light that see through to love When I do the fan dance I'm all the red in China You write your questions on my skin I'll be in your dark streets To keep the lantern burning Until your new world begins |

I'm wasting my time, wasting my time
I've been wasting my time I'm wasting my time, wasting my time I've been wasting my time My soul's a worn out road Where you've left a trail of reminders The sky forgets, turns black with pain But the rain remembers your face And the streets know your name I'm wasting my time, wasting my time I've been wasting my time I'm wasting my time, wasting my time I've been wasting my time She read his palm, his heart and his head We're on the same life line I held one hand behind my back But the rain remembers your face And the streets know your name I'm wasting my time, wasting my time I've been wasting my time I'm wasting my time, wasting my time I've been wasting my time When I took him like a vow in the dark The future fell off me This pain is all I recognize But the rain remembers your face And the streets know your name I'm wasting my time, wasting my time I've been wasting my time I'm wasting my time, wasting my time I've been wasting my time Wasting my time I've been wasting my time Wasting my time |

When I take a picture of the city, it disappears
It's only a photograph, the city is gone The places I go are never there The places I go are never there Nostalgia isn't what it used to be I can only picture the disappearing world When you touch me He brought me the air of Paris in a bottle The record caught the air of London, nineteen sixty-five The places I go are never there The places I go are never there Nostalgia isn't what it used to be I can only picture the disappearing world When you touch me, when you touch me When you touch me |

When we open our eyes and dream
We open our eyes When we open our eyes and dream We open our eyes Under normal, we change the wind Facing every direction Planted in the future, we live two lives All to reveal a secret we can't hide When we open our eyes and dream We open our eyes When we open our eyes and dream We open our eyes We search the sky, planets chasing the stars Pulling toward deep affection Weights and numbers measure a wound that won't heal All to reveal a secret we can't hide When we open our eyes and dream We open our eyes When we open our eyes and dream We open our eyes |

Incinerator, what have you done this time?
I heard the air raid siren go off To settle attraction, you like to subdivide Don't you want shelter from your desire? A place to hide Incinerator, this is not about sex It's about a personal scent You like to watch me and I like to disappear Electrical contact, a broken Tass of the Stratosphere Incinerator, go on and go right through me Have your search and tell me what you find That I'm made of fire and you'll never get to me I don't have your number, 'cause I can't count to eternity Incinerator |

I'll be desperate, I'll be lonely
But I won't be ashamed No isolation, no terror unnamed You animated the dead to your dream Say what you mean Destiny's still locomotive desire Magnets set on you and thrown into the fire If you get branded and caught in between Say what you mean You'll despise and protect You'll fool and you'll grouse How hungry are you? How much can you loose? You know what I would do for you 'Til it gets too late Just tell me straight The secrets that you want to know Are yours not mine Longing may kill me I can't keep my mind On my destructions My drugs and my dreams Say what you mean |
