When I leave you
I will leave you Things that might not help you Things that might Problems that I never solved Dreams to keep you up at night As I leave you I will leave you Things that stick for ever Things that slide Mysteries I swallowed whole Happiness I couldn't share I will leave you Promises I never kept I will leave you Stories that I never told Principles betrayed or sold Love I tried to spread too wide I will leave you Muscles you can grow in hate I will leave you Summer darkness Winter light Young mans shame and Old mans pride When I leave you I will hate to leave you That's the heat that grows With growing old So never let me leave you Never let me leave you Cold |

They got money, they got sun
They look like they're havin' fun Don't it seem it's so unfair They know something you don't know They've got a better place to go They're thin and rich and they don't care We get the dreams that we deserve The magazines that we deserve Page one and three that we deserve The joy and the pain that we deserve The sun and the rain that we deserve The material gain that we deserve We get what we deserve They got tension, they got stress They got their lives in the press The whole world stares as they undress Sold their friends to get ahead They do therapy instead They've got demons in their bed We get the toys that we deserve The quiet and the noise that we deserve The girls and the boys that we deserve We get what we want if we really want it We get what we want if we're really honest You know what you are You know what you want You know what you deserve We get the seas that we deserve The flowers and the trees that we deserve The spores on the breeze that we deserve We get what we want if we really want it We get what we want if we're really honest You know what you are You know what you want You know what you deserve You deserve We get what we deserve We deserve |

Turn your life upside down
Take a car into town Wait until the world's asleep And tear it up and never stop again Take a train to the sea Stay up all night ..and be It only takes a fraction of a second To turn your life upside down Take a train to the sea Be anyone you want to be A little spark of light inside your mind Safe and sound off the ground upside down Wide awake on the edge of the world |

Reality is something that you rise above
We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run The fearful fall foul of fate as often as the reckless You don't need money to be rich anyhow Spending yourself is what it's all about No tears No lies No pain No doubt No darkness No confusion No loneliness, despair No more, no more It's all illusion If you have made mistakes There's always another chance for you You can start over again at any moment Any little time you choose Talk about failure To fall is not to fail Failure isn't about falling down Failure is staying down Energy makes energy anyhow Spend yourself and get rich right now No tears No lies No pain No doubt No darkness No confusion No loneliness, despair No way, no how It's all illusion Reality is something that you rise above We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are There's always another chance for you You can start over again Start over again Over again Any little time you choose Get rich right now |

[Viva Brasil, Viva Vida]
Bound up in this energy ball again Laughing and bouncin' off the magic Rollin' under like a surfboard in a wave Washin' me up ...I want to do it again Entwined in her arms Spinning around and submarine beneath the deep of her Climbing the forks of the lightning Building a rod for my back it's all right, it's all right Dreamin' a dream that only the sleepless know Chilling the afternoon in "Viva Vida" Watchin' the sun slide down the avenue So real... I feel... Dizzy to fever with this love The blues and the greys are waved away inside a day with her Riding the forks of the lightning Feeling the sparks along my back it's all right, it's all right I thought I was born to take and to damage But I'm giving and healing and feeling Ultramarine and ultra-serene Climbing the forks of the lightning She told me today it'll be okay it's all right, it's all right I'm a submarine in this ocean |

Best of three, the angel said
As daylight burst behind his head Jacob all night wrestling with his angel Then out into the boul' St. Mich He cruises in a new Corniche Now doesn't God stand up for B-A-S-T-A-R-D-S Baby you can't lose it You'd be mad to choose it Don¹t you know he was born to do you down You can't cheat your fate girl Check the time and date girl Don't you know he was born to do you down But guys who show how much they care Try hard to please and get nowhere You know that every girl round here got built-in bastard radar Baby you can't lose it You'd be mad to choose it Don't you know he was born to do you down 'Cause what will be will always be Though stinging kills the honey bee You know that every girl on Earth's got built in bastard radar I'm singing "one-two" in the mike You know I'm testing I'm singing "Death where is thy sting?" It's only resting And thank God every woman knows It's piss and wind and fancy clothes That make a man a man Thank God for built-in bastard radar |

She took my hand and said "Let's go together"
"You and me against the world" And so we stuck it out through still and stormy weather And so we tumbled down the years I took her hand and said "Let's go together" Just you and me against the world Let's go together Stay together We'll tumble down the years And we'll come to find the key behind it all We never stopped to see if we were still in step We never checked each other's eyes To see who lived in there behind them And down the years we disappeared Let's go together Say no together We'll tumble down the years Let's try together Let's lie together We'll tumble down the years And though we never found the key behind it all I think we came to know the meaning of the fall Let's go together We said "forever" You and me against the world Hold on together And damn the river We'll tumble down the years We'll tumble down the years We'll tumble down the years |

As you lie there on your bed
Beneath the face of Louise Brooks With your makeup and your teddy bear And your C.S. Lewis books Bad seed You're a bad seed You're a decadent in chrysalis Waiting sleepily to emerge When you'll visit every seedy need Of your random obsessive urge All the ruses that you use All the food that you refuse All the dust and tired air that feeds Interior Lulus All the poisoned attitudes And the lust for the unknown And the second best that devils use To make this world their own Interior Lulu, Interior Lulu, Interior Lulu Every rainy day by e-mail As you lie there on your bed Another virtual page arrives There will be times when you remember me Of the chapters you'll be writing As the voices echo in your head In the book called wasted lives As you read Henry and Anais All the lost weekends and booze All the finger-and-thumb screws All the sleepless worn out blues that bruise Interior Lulus Interior Lulu, Interior Lulu, Interior Lulu Use the anger Paint a picture of it Throw the colors Use the pain, use the pain Scream back a brand new emotion As it runs across the skin Fire across paper Burn and curl, burn and curl You thought you couldn't feel like this But it's happening again and you're waking up in pain Tattooed in that private place Microsoft and tears intimately pierced Discovering and remembering You felt like this somewhere before Stirrin' up the bed of the river Somewhere you don't like to go You wrote this down so many times But you get up anyway and you write it down again You've bored us all to death with this Well who you gonna tell When you've nothing left to sell She says, she's lonely She says, she knows me But she's a one-way street She told me what I already know "If you can carry it out you can take it away If you can carry it out you can take it away If you can buy it, it can be bought If you can buy it, it can be stolen If you can break it, it's already broken It's already broken, it's already broken" Lately, I can stand to hear other people talking So many empty conversations What a waste of lips Lately I can stand to stand on Primrose Hill Look down upon the city A heart pumping the roads In our racing stripes We rejoice at being connected Without touching, thank God for the internet We stare at our screens all our lives What a waste of eyes 'Till the electrical storm blows our fuses And we gaze, dumbfounded, at the rain All the trust and tired care Left to rust and go nowhere All this gold beneath my skin Sparklin' like sin somewhere within In so deep, in so deep, in so deep That I can't sleep for these Interior Lulu These Interior Lulu, these Interior Lulu lu lu lu lu lus |

This house aches
I whistle its tune After so much noise Freedom is silence Half the house is missing Taken half of me with it I had imagined this Hurting in a different way Hurting in a different way I still have the hi-fi Quiet at all volumes As my dull thoughts Echo viscous and slow like the tolling of some great bell under water When she cries she cuts me And when she smiles I wanna die Afraid of knowing myself Our eyes stare out while we hide inside Looking at it, not seeing it Looking at it, not seeing it The open windows Let in the spring air today And the birds sing their thankfully happy, brainless song But the silence here finds a way to stay Some kind of explosion God, if you hear me Throw me a line or strike me down Do you refuse even to accuse C'mon, do your worst But lift this curse Built this house on solid ground But now it's crumbling tumbling down Will nobody here even cry out for help? As it slowly collapses into itself Looking at it, not seeing it Looking at it, not seeing it Hanging on to this pain It's no good It's no good But we try again We try again |
