Here they roll down
Like a miracle that's over Here they slow down Like a miracle that's over Tell them for me as you see them speeding by That their lights don't light the way Tell them for me if you can catch their eye That I'd never stand in their way Here they roll down Like a miracle that's over Here they slow down Like a miracle that's over You can't find as you're speeding by Anywhere you want to stop You can't find as you're speeding by Anyone to raise you up Here they roll down Like a miracle that's over Hey you slow down Like the miracle was over If your broken face can find a lover Give away your chance to fly Give away your will power Hey look at me I'm free You can hear them fall out You can see them toss it up You can be caught in their lights as they flash by You can go with them without knowing why |

Always in a hurry, impatient to get away
Always think that things look a lot better When they're seen from far away But if you take me by the hand I'll love you like the sea I'll wash over every border Drown every boundary Why won't you let me in 'Cause I'd like to see Who's been dreaming the dream of you Can't you feel the pull of this season's weather Drawing the world into its shell Draws and draws like poison And no one sweet enough to resist the smell And I see all the secrets that you keep Use them to build your high wall Use them to drown in your sleep Why can't I just come in 'Cause I'd like to see I'd like to be the smallest part of the dream that's you I know that I don't feel the seasons And I know that I'm not really welcome But I never got my invitation to join The dreamers of the dream Always in a hurry, impatient to get away Always think that things look a lot better When they're seen from far away |

You wonder what you want from me
Never mind You wonder why I say the things I do Never mind You wonder would I waste my time Looking for and never find You wonder what I see in you Never mind Guess I could learn to stay With those whose lives are gold Play their game for the end For the cold You say "Admit to all these words" Never mind That I've got no conscious for this world Never mind You say that there's no love That I could ever find Okay well I just waste my time Guess I could learn to stay Who those who barely live Their poor eyes only take They never give To all your arguments and threats Never mind Your hidden motives and regrets Never mind It doesn't matter to me What you keep or what you leave behind If you're a coward and you're blind Never mind Guess I could learn to stay With those who understand Play the game to win With a losing hand |

Child keeps its toys hidden away
Till it wants to break them Take your share and go away Make sure you get the last word Sit back out of harm's reach Watch the little cup of poison Chasing its own tail around and around Until it's exhausted at its wits end United Kingdom I try my best I wait for you to nail me Now I try and never do Anything they tell me 'Cause waiting about an inch Under human nature Tragedies and comedies And a touching sense of failure United Kingdom When you held me in your arms At the limits of your patience I knew I'd always lose Every scene of violence When you held me in your arms Why didn't you want me When you held me in your arms Why didn't you touch me Well I used to know how To slip through your blind spot And now I just watch myself Set the alarms off I'm happier now in my shame And don't look to you for anything United Kingdom |

Now your sleep is over
You can't remember Why you spent the whole night proving What you'll be losing The dream is gone Do you want another one Time to join the chorus line Sing into the safe design You don't want more than this You don't want more than this Time to take the easy way out Alone not a hope or a doubt Finish the dream that brought you so much bliss Sails filled with wind and the joy deep within Finish with the light that holds the . . . You don't need it anymore |

Once was a woman with a silver voice
Said she was accustomed to my face But I could tell she'd never love anyone And wanted to run away because I could tell That she really understands There was so much that I had to offer But now I'm all alone at four am And all I got is the midnight shivers So I turn the dial and think Maybe I'll find myself a friend Who say they understand Why I waste all my time so far away From the heaven of your hands And anyone can give you an answer 'Cause nothing in this life seems real But I'm nothing without the touch I just don't feel Mother don't you hear your baby crying Why don't you reach down and pick it up Mother all your baby's toys are broken And I know heaven's not for me That's something I understand I don't know how to live Without the heaven of your hands There's a heaven in your hands |

When no one cares for you
You're made of straw No appointments to keep No human law When no one cares for you You're made of straw You're living on borrowed time You can't do nothing right You can't commit a crime When no one cares for you Well honey you're made of straw Your love Kathleen is for someone That I swear I could have been When no one cares for you You're made of straw You can't do nothing right You can't uphold a law When no one cares for you |

Well I got into Waikiki
And I spend my time up in the hotel room No sunburn for me No friends no family Yes I see the view Well I think I seen it somewhere before Curled up on the sand Curled up on the floor And the hula maiden says I'll give you everything for free You're as hungry as the tide That's drowning me Well I took my big free ride I went out to the big barbecue And I got smashed on the beach I was thinking about you This is my big aloha Brought to you from the volcano state Where they serve up your soul For $3.99 a plate And the hula maiden says I'll give you everything for free Oh sugar you're as hungry as the tide That's washing over me And the hula maiden said Oh darling I see it in your eyes Well did you do it over here beautiful Did you come here to die Well she said did you come here to buy Well this my big aloha Coming to you from the volcano state Where they lose track of your soul And never bring you your spaghetti plate |

Giving up that's the easy part
Turn your pockets out Tear your room apart But you can't find anything To help you on your way Run, try to catch the bus And reach it just as it pulls away For the black hole and the beautiful crab nebulae Time running out Time running dry Frozen peas and carrots And pickled animal parts Sweet anticipation For the well-preserved at heart One more walk around the animal pen Keeping to the sun But I'll end up in the shade again Just one more walk Underneath the big starry-ass sky I wasn't born good enough That I wasn't born good enough for Doctor don't you worry Doctor I feel fine Doctor I just swallowed Every grape on the vine Hey look here it comes My great big luxury ufo Now drive this thing and go fast Why are we moving so slow Just one more walk Around the animal pen I'm running happily in the sun I'll end up in the shade again Just one more walk Underneath the big empty sky That I wasn't born good enough for Doctor don't you worry Doctor I feel fine As long as I can fill that form I'll sign any dotted line |
