Now coming down
Out of this swandive to your arms I make no sounds WhenI move thru your reservoirs I wake up quick I wake up sick As you abandon me Into these fields of rank and file Thru this cloudI hear you breathing Thru these barsI watch them bring more in NowI send back letters from the wasteland home Last slowdance to this romance on my own May take two to tango, but boy it takes one to let go It just takes one to let go. Now boy keep still Don't spread yourself around Get back in line Eat your bread And just work the ground 'Cause you're not through They're not done with with you Did you think you were The only one who's been let down So sleep tight little boys of the new dam Let them drop in the quicksand NowI send back letters from the wasteland home Last slowdance to this romance on my own May take two to tango, but boy it takes one to let go Now another bad idea gets thru Down they send me unto you Every bridgeI should have burned Every lesson i've unlearned When the smoke give way to ruins Incarcerated lovesick fools I wait for you to cut me loose But until then NowI send back letters from the wasteland home Last slowdance to this romance on my own May take two to tango, but boy it takes one to let go NowI send back letters from the wasteland home From whereI slowdance to this romance on my own |

Whatever I know too much
You won't be anyone Now tell me what you are thinking of How could think you'd be enough It's not that you've stayed too long It's not that you've done something wrong It's not your fault But you embarrass yourself Hand me down It's better when you're not around You feel good And you look like you should But you will never make us proud You've been used by a army of cues You've been touched by the lips of a queen Now we've all made good use of you But you won't be needed again So don't you move and let someone else in Make some room for a new harlequin It's never enough So don't disappoint us again Hand me down It's better when you're not around You feel good And you look like you should But you won't ever make us proud Hand me down It's better when you're not around You feel good And you look like you should But you could never make us proud Hand me down So look at you with your worn out shoes Livin' proof evolution's through We're stuck with you This revolution's due Hand me down It's better when you're not around You feel good And you look like you should But you could never make us proud Hand me down It's better when you're not around You feel good And you look like you should But you won't ever make us proud |

Maybe I could be the one they adore
That could be my reputation It's where I'm from that lets them think I'm a whore I'm an educated virgin Sleepwalker, don't be shy Now don't open your eyes tonight You'll be the one that defends my life While I'm dead asleep dreamin' Cupid, don't draw back your bow Sam Cooke didn't know what I know I'll never be your valentine The sleepwalker in me And God only know that I've tried Let me in, let me drown or learn how to swim Just don't leave me at the window I could be the one to be your next best friend You may need someone to hold you Sleepwalker, take this knife You may see someone tonight You'd be the one that saves my life When I'm dead asleep dreamin' Cupid, don't draw back your bow Sam Cooke didn't know what I know I'll never be your valentine The sleepwalker in me And God only know that I've tried I'm in your movie and everyone looks sad But I can hear you, your voice, the laughtrack But you never saw my best scene The one where I sleep Sleepwalk into your dreams Now, sleepwalker, what's my line It's only a matter of time Until I learn to open up my eyes When I'm dead asleep dreamin' Cupid, don't draw back your bow Sam Cooke didn't know what I know I'll never be your valentine The sleepwalker in me Now, the sleepwalker in me Now, the sleepwalker in me And God only know that I've tried |

I could break free from the
wood of a coffin if I need But nothin's hard as Gettin' free from places I've already been I've been waste-deep in the burnin' meadows of my mind In the engine In cold December shootin' fire from the hose Now turn off your lights 'cause I'm not comin' home 'til I'm delivered for the first time I was first-born to a parade that follows in rows down a narrow cold black river faceless shadows movin' slow I would move swift when the sounds of a trumpet would blow I've been the puppet I've been the strings I know the vacant face it brings Now the bells of curfew They may ring before I'm through But soon I'll be delivered for the first time You might keep clean in the back of an angel motorcade It doesn't matter who walks in you know, the joke is still the same You'll just wake up like a disposable lover decomposed I've been gone I've been remembered I've been alive I've been a ghost So now, if downtown explodes I'll still be on this road 'til I'm delivered for the first time I have drawn blood from the neckline when vampires were in fashion You know I'd even learn to cut my throat If I thought I could fit in 'Cause I, I once heard that you gotta learn how to blend in to this mess Where nothin's hard nothin's precious and nothin's smooth or flawless Now, no more amused just screaming to be delivered for the first time Now I'm 10 miles in the deep and mighty blue sea Looking back, towards a long white beach burnin' up into yellow flames And I just wave back like a little boy up on a pony in a show 'cause I can't fix something this complex any more than I can build a rose So just keep on letting go 'cause I must be close to being delivered for the first time Now I'd rather bleed out a long stream from being lonely and feel blessed Well than drown, laying face down in a puddle of respect I was once lost in the corridors of the arena in blindfolds I've been the bull I've been the whip I just pulled down the matador So now, turn on your lights 'cause I'm comin' home I've been delivered for the first time |

I'm standing outside your window, baby
And there you are Another year, another candle's burning for the party girl No one even knows that you're there Happy Birthday, no one cares You come around here, You'd better bring a witness Everyone in here's on the guest list And when you're gone you won't be missed Keep one eye open when you kiss Your wishes won't be coming true this year Now darling don't you cry We're going to teach you everything You'll learn to get by Now lesson number one in homicide is emotional murder is no crime You come around here, you'd better bring a witness Everyone in here's on the guest list And when you're gone you won't be missed Keep one eye open when you kiss Now sticks and stones, baby, break your bones But the names, in here, can kill We'd let you leave but no one else wants you Your ransom was not made Now you ain't got to stand up tall But now baby, you must stand up You come around here, you'd better bring a witness Everyone in here's on the guest list Now we've never been so impressed Keep one eye open when, whenever you kis |

We didn't make it
We did not pull through You shouldn't blame me I don't blame you Now what else did you think that I would do? ooooh as if it wasn't hard enough I'm so tired of waking up feeling bad You haven't been the kind of place I have Could it hurt you now to let this pass? oooooh as if it wasn't hard enough You want to make it so much harder Now in another world I could learn to forget But 'til then I'm here making room for new regrets Now some flowers they never bloom And some flowers just bloom dead The way you make me feel I could collapse An epidemic I cannot outlast How could you feel used when I feel trapped? ooooh as if it wasn't hard enough And just as my conscience starts to clear I drag the river and you're still there The way I bring you down could not compare ooooh as if it wasn't hard enough You want to make it so much harder Now in another world I could learn to forget But 'til then I'm here making room for new regrets Now some flowers they never bloom But some flowers just bloom dead Now some flowers they never bloom And some flowers just bloom dead The way I sleep this bed just can't be made I pull the covers up around my head Now when I think of me I think of somebody else instead As if it wasn't hard enough You're gonna make it so much harder Now in another world I could learn to forget But 'til then I'm here making room for new regrets Now some flowers they never bloom And some flowers just bloom dead Now some flowers they never bloom And some flowers they just bloom dead |

Well I'm down here in the well
Looking back up at the hill Well I thank heavens I fell Must look more like myself Now everyone is so kind Everyone looks like a long lost friend of mine I'm on top of the world again When I'm looking up from under Babylon I had a home in the fields Earned my wage in the factories there And I was raised by the mill And I worked with my brothers there I told my mother I'd always write I headed west for the coast with the big city lights Now mamma I'm so sorry I've forgotten But now I'm looking up from under Babylon Now tell me how far I've been And how deep was I in Tell me how I conceived The vanity to believe That I would not be outnumbered By the thumbs I have been under Now stray dogs in the street Learn how to beg, steal, borrow and cheat And in the dead summer heat I fell asleep with blood on my teeth But those days before I met you girl Were just ice cream falling down on the shoes of my world I'm so happy that you're my friend When we're looking up from under Babylon When we're looking up from under Babylon |

Never thought that I knew too much
I always thought I knew enough I didn't want to learn this stuff I didn't ever want to be that tough But love was just implied And everything else died This class has now begun In Murder 101 You can learn it in the first degree You could even make yourself believe That you'll never even think of me When you're packing up your things to leave Now my intuition failed I can't graduate unskilled They don't excuse the young This is Murder 101 Find yourself another heart that needs a rest Tie a hook onto a single thread Drop it down beneath the chest There's the first part of this test They'll grade you on a curve They're including everyone No matter what you've heard You know this class has now begun Drop out before they come To Murder one by one Just look what we've done In Murder 101 Just look what we've done In Murder 101 Just look what we've done This is Murder 101 Just look what we've done To Murder one by one |

So sad that you took it so badly
And acted so madly So scared like a baby by the morning with sunlight unfolding Your eyes have turned red And are holding me inside your story In the end you'll have started on a new one Of anguish and delusions He smiles just like a magician Who's just cast his illusions of castles and sandstones on the backbeach And bright lights within your reach The sounds of a warning by the morning of hound dogs coming for me With the ropes leading back to your knees And you looking straight at me On your knees in the rain with a basket of flowers just for me As the bells in the trees up above all swung and rang softly You said you rang them for me For me |
