First of all I'm not as down as you And there is a better way To walk around these days I don't believe in cool I went to summer school There was a man unkown Stripped himself down to the bone And he said "Hey, give me nothing, I'm from nowhere And you don't know my name" He doesn't exist Guess I just missed Chance of a lifetime Romance and white wine Easy living A new beginning
Blind as wood And there's not a bone in my body that's good I watch the tanks roll by Disguising themselves as the ambulance Who will race to the show Waving flowers and caskets, oh no It's just another win for hope and a heart made of tin If I were alive I would slow dance in the ghetto And sleep beneath the street Doesn't exist Guess I just missed Chance of a lifetime Christmas and sweet pine Easy living A new beginning
Left all alone Watching breakups and afternoon drama I must have lost my mind She was trapped on the bus With a kiss in her hand And when the screams died down Her lips were on fire Spitting magic around There was one more mile It was long it was long I would float on the thermals of laughter High where I belong It doesn't exist Guess I just missed Chance of a lifetime Lemonade and sunshine Easy living It's just beginning
I said, slide back, relax I wanna hold you, but you break Please just let it out If you think I'm a ghost Well touch me sweet Sheila Cause I can't take it no more Every day I'm away Stumbling for what to say Hey, I'm coming down like a wrecking ball Breaking her heart What are you supposed to be? Won't you get close to me? Break that building down! And you know it's tough to take I got to hold you, but you break Please just let it out Every day I'm away Stumbling for what to say Hey, I'm coming down like a wrecking ball Breaking her heart Like a plane that's coming down Like a wrecking ball falling apart Every day I always come to find Everyone's dumb and blind I say just fuckit all I know it's fairless, heartless, careless Hey, I'm coming down like a wrecking ball Breaking her heart Like a plane that's coming down Like a wrecking ball Falling apart
Grey hair is taking hold of me Snake charmer's cut my throat and i'm loose again Fell down drinking wine with him Stole my saxophone Stripped me to skin and bone
Sad and lifeless Red and cruel Ask myself can i fight this Hangman standing in my room Telling me jokes again Nineteen he was handsome A ray farmer spreading sun on the roofs of man Moon queen she was sexual Silver hands to hold Bouquet of marigold
Sad to love her Lip gloss and rouge Nothing he had could touch her Frail arms reaching for the star Sparkling jewel
Sunfair Blinds me she's hysterical Sunfair Finds my heart breakable Sunfair Burns me down
Delia had Hot pink fingernails Grey armour bright red shoes And a violin Take care Cause she's emotional Loves her alcohol Hates me when i don't call
Sad to love her Lip gloss and rouge Nothing i had could touch her Frail arms reaching for the star Sparkling jewel
Sunfair Blinds me she's hysterical Sunfair Finds my heart breakable Sunfair Burns me down
I ran around with my head cut off And it was frightening, to say the least Crowds of people stood around and stared And it was frightening, to say the least Baby I should have come home when I had the chance But I was elastic, and I was stretching everybody's dreams
I saw the sun stagger up, bloody red It was fantastic, took my last sip I felt my legs buckle down to the brick I stand and fall, walked then crawled Baby I should have come home when I had the chance But I was elastic, and I was stretching everybody's dreams
Stay up all night Gonna get wasted, yeah you were right Cheer up, I'll be alright Gonna fall graceful, gonna fall light
I felt insane, heading home dressed in sheets Barely breathing, shaking and freezing And now it's all sinking in, bittersweet That she won't touch me, hold or trust me Baby I should have come home when I had the chance But I was a bastard, and I was wrecking everybody's dreams
Stay up all night Gonna get wasted, yeah you were right Cheer up, I'll be alright Gonna fall graceful, gonna fall light
There will be light in the street A cold coffin, merry sweet One more dead killer Waiting Losing his love Now he lives in seclusion Counting his days He has hopelessly won Knocked out of breath He is facing the sun Whose drugs are these
Make me colorful please Diving in summer Come on, come on You are a child in wonder
There will be love in the heat Naked days and jealous weeks White shoes in leather Fading Losing their shine Dollar bills made of sadness Asking you, are these things mine Chasing the string On through the night You are standing in stone Someone turn on the light
Make me colorful please Diving in summer Come on, come on You are a child in wonder
Is it true that you can take one Is it through you I will play on I am used to being so done All this will change before it is through
Some who will lose and never say Hold me I'm weak Break bread with your hero Listen to jealousy speak I will complicate all I meet Saying life is good and Death is sweet All this in vain No wonder I'm older again
There is a place it has a face and he was walking out the door.
His mother said she was ashamed cause he had no place to go.
He was afraid And I was fine, And he wanted, peace of mind.
Three times turned And your gone, and your gone You are free, You are free, And its a long way home.
What have we done Is it wrong Is it wrong Is it me, cant you see its a long way home.
There is a snake, and he will awake, and he'll get you off the floor.
You'll start to shake, your friends will sweat, you are high, you will forget.
She is afraid cause you are dying, But you have got your peace of mind.
Three times turned And your go, and your go You are free, You are free, And its a long way home
What have we done Is it wrong Is it wrong Is it me, cant you see its a long way home
And i won't make your dreams come true, Its all you, you got to change your lonely ways, To make it through
You found a place In outer space, were you don't hurt anymore
Your lovely hand has slipped away, And there is nothing left to say
And we were born of yellow sand There is no plan there is no end.
Three times turned And you go, and you go You are free, You are free, And its a long way home
All night long I was wrong I was wrong It was me, cant you see its a long way home
It took a million lives to see her smile Don't touch, it's too much To break it and she´ll send you home Afraid of love Afraid you might get hurt. So good luck, Don't get stuck, Turn around before you can go back.
Some days you feel grand and there's games to play enter a flame you cannot explain she is divine you say i am grand and you are mine will you dine today? and she caught my heart w/ a gentle stare soothing me in every way while she's slowly slipping away calm down it's okay she's too fine for you go away she's got things to do and has no time for you and she broke my heart w/ a gentle stare losing her faster than a sound cause she knows no one lives in the ground ooh don't you walk away you're amazing and i'd be ooh if you didn't stay can you blame me i'm just a fool from another day and i'm lonely so won't you be brave feeling stoned in a funny way i guess it's time to go heading north where the days are cold and the time is slow i would live alone in my house of stone staring out at the sea wondering what is wrong w/ me ooh don't you walk away you're amazing and i'd be ooh if you didn't stay can you blame me i'm just a fool from another day and i'm lonely so won't you be brave lights out and i cannot sleep i guess it rained today a blue rose i cannot keep has found a way to make me change all the things i wear fading slowly w/ time is the thought that someday she would be mine ooh don't you walk away you're amazing and i'd be blue if you didn't stay can you blame me i'm just a fool from another day and i'm lonely so won't you be brave
Take down this ragged nest You have built on unsteady ground Bury what is left so safely When no one is around Years past sleeping in winter's place Waiting deep underground Rainfalls and so dry again Is this the end
(chorus) Keep from moving You're paralyzed from trying to recover From that horrible breath of chemicals You are losing Bullets from withing your mind And breaking walls of cannibals Looking to empower you, devour you
Hold brace here it comes Like a wind from inside spinning around Let go as you turn you will learn How to live softly alone
Roses on a lover's dress Will soothe you from within Diving away following birds of prey Like an old friend you are losing again Gentle are days covering warm at dusk The moon sings to stars that he lost Look how awkwardly strange we are In our plain ways
(chorus)
Take your time coming home Such a clear night summer feels right Hold break here it comes Like a wind from inside spinning around Let go as you turn you will learn How to live softly alone Each day passes by like a cloud in the sky You can't be found Moses has forgiven you for living quietly alone
Take your time coming home Such a clear night summer feels right I let it all break so I can see straight I'm on the thin line It's going to be the last time Affection where I can't be I wish the light would take me Can I ask you why you gave in Did it feel like you were caged in I loved you till you ran out Now it's time to fade out
So long to the life you always knew, Was never meant to be, Throw out a kiss and relax, You're growing away from me, Dance while the music's on, And the summer days grow long, Take my hand you are lost, But soon you will be found. Here we are, come down, Spend some time away, Here we are, come down, You're so fine that way with me, The captain's drinking port, And he's sorry to report, The engine's slowing down, Yeah we're all going to drown, I think I see the light, Love will make you right, Pull up your head and instead, Let's waltz into the night. Here we are, come down, Spend some time away, Here we are, come down, You're so fine that way, Spend some time away, Some time away with me, Here we are, come down (x8)
