Oh Mary Jane
She step on a train Head for the city lights Yearning inside To swim with the tide And taste it, alright Bag on her shoulder Breathing the cold There by the metal tracks She saw it all shine And swore in her mind She'd never go back And she don't mind the late night Late night radio She don't mind the late night radio She don't mind the late night Late night radio Na na Couldn't have dreamed The things that she seen There on the avenue She stared right into a million eyes That looked her right through Telling red Joe The places she's go And wiping the table clean She got no idea The demon of fear Or what a broken heart mean And she don't mind the late night Late night radio She don't mind the late night radio She don't mind the late night Late night radio Na na na na na not at all (* 4) Na na New York was dark Dirty and stark Burning with yellow wings Everyday come With fever and hum Who knows what it brings Walking a wall Without a thought To fall and hit the ground Sweet Mary Jane With eyes like the rain Alive to the sound And she don't mind the late night Late night radio She don't mind the late night radio She don't mind the late night Late night radio And she don't mind the late night Late night radio She don't mind the late night radio She don't mind the late night Late night radio Na na na na |

I beg to differ
To break the chain To draw a line right through tomorrow And cancel every claim I've seen reflections beneath my skin And drums beating for battle In the eyes of children And turning it over Right down Where the eye don't see no color Where the war don't make a sound Ice on the shoulder Noel Praise the lord above And sell, sell, sell Oh violent flowers You fill the screen Betray your mother And change your name So tall and fickle And blind as snow Running headfirst for oblivion Cause you've nowhere else to go And turning it over Right down Where the eye don't see no color Where the war don't make a sound Ice on the shoulder Noel Praise the lord above And sell, sell, sell In chill of winter In dead of night Each so familiar with the hunger That they got no appetite They talk of loving I hear her say That as fast as I can give it He's taking it away And turning it over Right down Where the eye don't see no color Where the war don't make a sound Ice on the shoulder Noel Praise the lord above And sell, sell, sell Chorus A weeping willow The desert wind So many learn to swallow So few to understand The deepest longing This cup of faith Where to put them in a world Where no innocence is safe |

Hold on to nothing
Hold on to coldest steel It chills you down inside When you see just what is real Paste it up and tear it down Move it on along the rushing road Seventeen fahrenheit Feel the winter grow There's nowhere to write it There's nowhere to write it There's nowhere to write it down There's nowhere to write it There's nowhere to write it There's nowhere to write it down Nowhere to write it down Write it down Step down the alley Walking against the stony crowd You try hard not to listen Oh but they shout so loud Chew you up and spit you out Crush you between its finger and its thumb This world in all its anger Oh and there's always more to come There's nowhere to write it There's nowhere to write it There's nowhere to write it down There's nowhere to write it There's nowhere to write it There's nowhere to write it down Nowhere to write it down Write it down |

Down from the doorway and into the street
I hear the morning bell Over and over the pattern repeat I hear the morning bell And all the faces cold as stone In the January chill You have led me into worlds unknown And I'm walking there still Everytime now Everytime now I think of you mine now I just can't contain I'm seven feet tall and There's nightingales calling Shooting stars falling Like jewels in the rain I ask myself, I ask myself Can this life be the same That spun me round and put me down And filled me up with shame And all the heads are turning now Down the Tottenham Court road Cause I just can't help but sing it out Case I just might explode Everytime now Everytime now I think of you mine now I can't comprehend The saxaphones blowning Cherry trees snowing Emeralds growing Right here in my hand A dance in the moonlight So high on a June night Magazines strewn right Over the chair Your spine a white ladder Your eyes singing sadder Nothing else seems to matter As soon as you're there And everytime now Everytime now I think of you mine now I just can't contain I'm seven feet tall and There's nightingales calling Shooting stars falling Like jewels in the rain Everytime now Everytime now Everytime now Everytime La da da, la da da |

Morning
Sit in the morning sun Evening Watching the shadow come Through the bright streets of London I feel the rain Pull my skin as I wonder At the spell that I'm under Magdalen Since you came along Meet me with your arms of snow and Meet me with your mouth undone I'm burning up from head to toe yeah Magdalena, when you're gone Dreaming We're drinking the night away Talking Way past the break of day Through the bright streets of London I feel the rain Pull my skin as I wonder At the spell that I'm under Magdalen Since you came along Meet me with your arms of snow and Meet me with your mouth undone I'm burning up from head to toe yeah Magdalena, when you're gone Nanananananananananana Nanananananananana na na Meet me with your arms of snow and Meet me with your mouth undone I'm burning up from head to toe yeah Magdalena, when you're gone Chorus |

I'm falling by the wayside
I'm sinking with the sun everything I do is wrong wrong wrong gazing at the billboards staring down the broken lines sleeping on the backseat I could not believe you were right up there beside me tugging at my sleeve and putting up your lipstick just like you did a thousand times and something in your eyes that makes me smile oh yeah something in your eyes that makes me smile oh yeah I wake up in the darkness its more than I can stand I'm reaching out to touch it it breaks up in my hand I've never known the headlights to shine so cold I'm waiting for the morning to steal over the hills I'm urging for the road to speed these wheels I'm watching for the sunrise turning all the teardrops gold cause something in your eyes that makes me smile oh yeah something in your eyes that makes me smile oh yeah and something in your eyes that makes me smile oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah etc. |

I'm raising up my voice
To the wall and to the sky It seeks no explanation It waits for no reply Really it is nothing Just a cry to the wilds I'm delirious with chaos I'm wonderstruck with awe In my soul I'm dreaming only Of your velvet shore When I'm walking there my face Untangles like a child And only the lonely Only the lonely Lonely could know me I've been talking all night long There's nothing more to say So I'm searching every mirror For a trace of yesterday But the air it holds no traces Where the eagles were flying I'm haunted by the skyline The concrete and the rain The window speaks of winter So I'll set my heart again Somewhere in the dust A curlew is crying And only the lonely Only the lonely Lonely could know me I'm talking all night long I'm talking all night long There's a copper moon that's buried As solitude expands And distant planets moving They're weighing on my hands They're darkening my pages There's daylight in my fingers But it's snowing in my bones Been sucking on the echo Of a thousand telephones And when we meet again we will be strangers And only the lonely Only the lonely Lonely could know me And only the lonely Only the lonely Lonely could know me I'm talking all night long |

Ghost on the highway
Bird with metal wings Ghost on the highway Bird with metal wings Crowd all around me Just don't hear a thing Ghost on the highway Bird with metal wings What am I doing wrong What am I doing wrong What am I doing wrong What am I doing tell me You don't telephone You don't telephone You don't telephone You don't telephone me Stand in the doorway There in the yellow light Down in the doorway Bathed in morning light Saw you before me Thought maybe it might Down in the doorway Under yellow light What am I doing wrong What am I doing wrong What am I doing wrong What am I doing tell me You don't telephone You don't telephone You don't telephone You don't telephone me You never spoke a word But it's over I saw the way you turned your head You never spoke a word But it's understood What am I doing wrong What am I doing wrong What am I doing wrong What am I doing tell me You don't telephone You don't telephone You don't telephone You don't telephone me What am I doing wrong What am I doing wrong What am I doing wrong What am I doing tell me You don't telephone You don't telephone You don't telephone You don't telephone me |

A gutter full of rain
An empty picture frame A house out at the edges of the city Never noticing the war 'Till it's right there at your door And suddenly your hands are bloody I was seeking to possess Now another girl's caress Is on your flesh The bitterness is tasted There's nobody in your chair No hand to touch my hair The sun even the air seems wasted Let it go now, let it all slip away And we'll start it all over again Me, like a million others before Trying to make sense of the rain Were these twenty years a dream Was it ever as it seemed Get to wonder if it really existed 'Cause the theif who stole my life Has taken, too, my faith I can see now how the world gets twisted Let it go now, let it all slip away And we'll start it all over again Me, like a million others before Trying to make sense of the rain In spite of all the shame Some times I hear your name I think of us when we were younger Then I'm shutting out the noise Ans I'm trying to hear the voice That used to tell me love was stronger Light another cigarette But the one I got's still lit I can't seem to keep my fingers steady Never noticing the war 'Till it's right there at your door Ans suddenly your hands are bloody |

Tuesday my heart is brimming
I'm a child in the wild wind Dead leaves and daylight brimming No beginning and no end Inside a candle of defiance Moonlight A river of pearls Cause we're gonna need more Than money and science To see us through this world You say it can't be done You'd rather die of fun Get out of the way For me for you for everyone Forever is tommorow is today Shut all the windows Shut all the doors We're keeping it all out of sight We're keeping it all It's tearing us apart You don't know you're good From your bad from your black From your blood from your wrong From your right So you camoflage your heart I don't want no other distractions There's too much here to see Faint hearts or jaded reactions Contraptions of history You say it can't be done You'd rather die of fun Get out of the way For me for you for everyone Forever is tommorow is today Shut all the windows Shut all the doors I'm keeping it all out of sight I'm keeping it all It's mine, it's mine alone Corrosion collision I need a vision To tear off the cloak of the night And shatter eyes of stone You say it can't be done You'd rather die of fun Get out of the way For me for you for everyone Forever is tommorow is today Forever is tommorow is today Forever is tommorow is today You say it can't be done You'd rather die of fun Get out of the way For me for you for everyone Forever is tommorow is For me for you for everyone Forever is tommorow is today Trash the future Violence doesn't suit you Open your eyes wide Wide yeah |

I've waited the night over
For some word to come I asked the moon o'er the clover but the moon she is dumb You've made me a promise At midnight we'd go And that we should be married Sailing westward ho Such words you have spoken You have told me a lie That it could not be broken when you knew it must die There's no light in heaven That my heart can see That my heart be imprisioned While the devil go free Go free Like honey the ocean In the morning breeze Take my tears to the water That the rivers may freeze There's no light in heaven Can shine for me That my heart be imprisioned While the devil go free Go free What folly is beauty What trick of the skin Desire is fancy And ruin it's whim Your child within me And what should I do My blood fill with needles That he look like you There's no light in heaven That my heart can see That my heart be imprisioned While the devil go free My heart imprisioned While the devil go free No light in heaven No light for me |
