When there is light from up above
Then there will come a sacred dove To the basement, to the basement When there is fear you won't have to cry Napkins are here, they'll dry your eyes And blind them, and blind them They will come to your home When they are here Faces down When there is greed taking control Moving the bricks and starving the older people Oh, people If you seek shelter from your past They'll come to point their fingers where you cast your shadow Cast your shadow They will come to your home When they are here Faces down But you Have been fooled You knew the rules By heart There is No guarantee Against infamy Out there When there is trouble on the road Dead passengers will guide you home They will lead you If they can just feed you They will come to your home When they are here Faces down |

Use every chance you've been given
She replied after several days It's no good to be perfect You know so well things are easy to tell There is one thing I know It goes like this It's that when I'm down and out, it's you I miss I have told you this before And my transparent mind Won't cover see-through hearts I'll be straight with you now Now I'm not what you want Just like the rest And you feel like you're subject to a test But if there's one thing I know it's this When I lose my sleep it's you I miss You sleep all night You know you lie awake Tell me, yeah And time is running out And you know so well It may never be Use every chance you've been given She is told, but it doesn't make her smile She has no need to be perfect She knows too well Things are easy to tell I have said what I thought you should know But you never seem to recognize my face |

Ask me anything you like
I'll reveal everything I will treasure the truth You could know anything I am but a fool to play unaware of things If I'd treasured the truth I would tell it to you I'm coming down to tell you what I know To say what's real, to let you know Where I have been and how I had to Sleep on needles You'll believe you are hard Sleep on needles And hear only the truth Am I likely to succeed with the way things are? Judging by your smile You are holding something back I'm sleepless around midnight There's a change in the wind The remembrance of things you used to hold back I come around each time your notes are high To tear you down and drag you up To let you know what's going on while I Sleep on needles You'll believe you are hard Sleep on needles And hear only the truth |

I heard him yell something
It shouldn't be this bad He's spitting as he says Hi I catch fire So fortunate for you You were free to choose That's not enough to keep me from yelling She shivers at her desk As he yells 12 PM But no one's running late They're all airheads Cause he is on the move And these virgins talk about groove And make it sound so credible Oh tonight's suffused with love Don't spend all your time It's only hit and run Why spend all your time making someone else's dream? You always meet these girls Penetrating eyes And tentatively I require names But he is on their minds Young, lost occupied time vanishes, unfortunately Can I have learned eyes? I knew you'd hesitate I pictured this unfortunately, no We haven't got the time for he is in our minds Just about enough to keep me on the outside Is tonight suffused with love? Don't spend all your time It's only hit and run Why spend all your time making someone else's dream? |

Who wants to know about these tortured souls?
Side two was about the tortured young and old Side two will show you how it's meant to be You'll see a blizzard and you'll leave Side two will show you how it's meant to be We're dying now He helps us out It is so sad to see what will become of me But I know, oh I know Who wants to know the names of those who lived through execution, collecting votes? You'll see a blizzard and you'll leave Side two will show you things aren't what they seem We're dying now He helps you out It is so sad to see what will become of me But I know, oh I know Who wants to know about all those who placed their voices in a killing force? Side two was about the tortured young and old |

The moment has come to face the truth
I'm wide awake and so are you Do you have a clue what this is (I don't know) Are you everything that I've missed? (I don't hope so) We'll just have to wait and see (wait and see) If things go right, we're meant to be The surface is gone. I scratched it off We made some plans. I let them go Do you have the slightest idea (No I don't) Why the world is bright when you're near Stay awhile and wait and see (wait and see) If things go right, we're meant to be Oh, what a world this life would be Forget all your technicolour dreams Forget modern nature this is how its meant to be The time is here for being straight Its not too early and never too late People say I should watch my pace (What do they know?) |

Summer killed the ones you loved
I hesitate and tell you When people leave without goodbye I lose another brick The buildings are tall the world explains all and here I stand and face myself: I lead the way for us I've frozen down my memory It's morning when she gets up She puts on Lionel Ritchie I've already had enough The queues are long Guess I am wrong This chemical environment is getting out of hand Virtue and wine cannot help you swim Pain and sorrow must come if you go It's the chemistry and the things we shouldn't do I am nothing without you Ba-ba-da-ba-ba-ba-ba |

I've come to fill you up
I've come to taste the price I'll pay I've come to leave a note I've come to see you on and off again There have been tragic affairs Ever so unreliable And I could just see through these fingers and give it one more try But nothing stays the same I stand in my own way I hear you called again I know not what to say I've changed, become another The one you used to stalk is real I've come to make it better I've come to see you through the end again And all the rumours in this house Ever so unreliable I would neglect them If only lies gave us one more try But nothing stays the same I stand in my own way I hear you called again I know not what to say I've come to know the reasons I've come to realize the truth 'Cause though I leave he waiting She knows I'll turn against myself again But nothing stays the same I stand in my own way I hear you called again I know not what to say I am so amazed I am so amazed That nothing stays the same Nothing stays the same |

They were seen high-jacking someone's car
they drove far away and it's in the news, the papers too it's all around Some of us already knew the truth They call it salvation for the street I'll make sure you'll come clean It never happened before when we were playing It's serious now, cause someone's luck runs out tonight It's a terrible fright, yeah Nanana... They came here to steal the things they like: computer equipment - mechanical stuff cause we've have enough we give it away But someone left the scene of way too soon It is tremendous in a way We've never seen it in our street It never happened before when we were playing Now TV-shows - talking all they're saying now Our luck runs out tonight It's this simple: you believe - someone gives and you recieve but somewhere along the way our luck ran out again nanana... Now they live in nevernever-land claiming they're tourists They light up the crowd and don't talk so loud anymore But I'm sure we will see their brothers soon Already racing to be first They find it hard to adjust It never happened before we have been playing Let's do it again, forget what I've been saying now Your luck runs out tonight Nanana... (Our luck runs out tonight, Our luck ran out tonight X 4) |

I find it hard, hard to let go
And you are entitled to know You have brought nothing else but bliss A great deal of frustration Voluntary occupation Driving me insane and off the wall And we were free to choose each other Now it seems like something other Have you placed me where I stand? We turned caring, like a mother Afraid to lose each other It got us this far Now problems are: I have no bags to pack No suitcase waiting in the hall You have no make-up No stockings in my drawer Oh, how did we forget? Could we forget? It's easy to learn if you never regret When you live in paranoia And you know she's got you, oh yeah You can't leave until you know the truth So for months you're going nowhere Until you seize the day and place yourself Behind the steering wheel Oh you can't act like you don't want to The opposite of what you planned to You can watch the ships when they're abroad Become a joke when people see you 'Cause it's enough to please you We got this far Step out of the car I have no bags to pack No suitcase waiting in the hall You have no make-up No stockings in my drawer Oh, how did we forget? Could we forget? It's easy to learn if you never regret We'll never learn in the future This is it, seemingly I am sure I know we haven't been together now It wasn't meant to be this way So we'll give it days and days And we'll try to make it easy now Once I believed we could approach this Now I have faith placed in the things you call fate In the things you call fate In the things you call fate |
