Out into the fields
I will go flying Lovers of the trains Will watch my tracks Lonely in their boxes Me I'm raising the smile Out over the moon I will go running Lovers of the stars Will watch my trails Lonely in their boxes Me I'm raising the smile |

It's always raining in here
Each time I walk thro' these doors Expensive suits and cheap whores And I'm always sorry Money flows real fast Though I'm not supposed to touch But they always say how much They love my music No matter what I wear It's always freezing cold And their teeth are made of sharpened gold Tho' their smiles are Polished white Lives turn into units In this building built with fear They breathe contempt in here And they call it the record business Justice day will come And this steel will turn to rust And this concrete turn to dust And I won't be sorry My life outside of power I see myself in the faces Classes, groups and races Locked out of power Workers Blacks Jews Children Che Africa Cuba And I hear myself in their music |

Take me with you
Where you're going to Miss Lonely Why drive wild Into distance Miss Lonely Away from this bitter time Dark winds crying And I'll find the sun in your eyes In your soul The dawn will no more See us break apart Your love always wakes my heart Shakes my heart Take me down with you Make me drown in you Miss Lonely Counting the hours to To our rendezvous Miss Lonely So cool are the waters Where the pain is softly dying And I'll see no scars in the sky For you and I The dawn will no more Hear us breaking apart Your love always makes my heart Shakes my heart |

Shouldn't we be flying by now?
Half way between our lives and the stars Shouldn't we be soaring by now? Shouldn't we be soaring by now? Science and explanations left below Girl Shouldn't we be flying by now? Our real lives just begun Shouldn't we have lost science by now? All our shackles turned to sand Shouldn't we have burned our house down by now? Setting fire to the walls by the way we make love Girl Shouldn't we be flying by now? Into the wordless blue Above Shouldn't we be stripped of language by now? Half way to the stars Shouldn't we have forgotten each others' names? Knowing each other by the way we touch Shouldn't we have lost names by now? And know each other by the way we breathe Shouldn't we be flying by now? Shouldn't we be flying by now? Shouldn't we be soaring by now? Shouldn't we be soaring? Shouldn't we be calm by now? Shouldn't we be home? |

There is no deity there
It's your eyes filled with fears That taught the clouds to release their tears You taught the skies how to cry When I run my hand thro' your hair There is never science or sin It was the touch of your skin That teaches my body to breathe There is never science or sin It was the touch of your skin That teaches my body to breathe... You taught the night to be dark When you left my place You made up dancing light When you lifted your face You placed me in this city To punish me You taught the sky how to cry How to cry You made the earth to spin And spin out of control Each time we make love You invent depth and soul Each time my arms surround you You create the idea of calm You taught the skies to cry Each time my arms surround you You taught the sky to cry There is no deity there It's your eyes filled with fears You taught the sky how to cry |

Dancing on air
We'll be there 'till the close of the day Try anyway But you can't keep the magic away People say it's not real Don't seem to have any feelings Dancing on air We'll be there 'till the end of the sky Bending the time Just a little so we can get by People say it won't last Everything's going much faster Leaving our hearts in a thousand towns Sleeping when dawn comes around Playing there just for a moment or two Together Leaving our place in a thousand rooms Breathing in gasoline fumes Laying there just for a moment or two Together Leaving our hearts in a thousand towns Sleeping when dawn comes around Staying there just for a moment or two Together Leaving our place in a thousand rooms... Breathing in gasoline fumes Laying there just for a moment or two Together |

Havin' lived all my life in windowless rooms
I never thought I'd see a girl cry such translucent tears Christ she was tryin' to understand me Christ she was tryin' to understand me Christ she was tryin' to get me Christ she was tryin' to understand me Havin' lived all my life in smoke filled rooms Never thought I'd see a girl cry such iridescent tears I never thought I could favour such thorny fears Havin' spent all my life watchin' faces dissolve into lines I never thought I'd see a girl with such three dimensional pain Yes she was tryin' to love me Yes she was tryin' to love me Yes she was tryin' to love me Yes she was tryin' to love me Havin' spent all my life watchin' faces stiffen and fall away Never thought I'd see a girl in such fluid pain Never thought I'd be close to so much to gain I'd lay myself down by your fingers If I could be close to your palms I'd let myself be killed by your fingers If I could be buried in your palms I'd let myself I'd lose myself Havin' walked thro' my life with hands this destructive I never thought I'd see a girl with such unconditional care Christ I need her Christ I hate her Christ I need her Christ I hate her Christ I need her Christ I hate her |

Dark heart
I can show you the darkest part My shadow heart Where your affections really start Now there's cruelty in its tone And anger in its pitch Danger in the zone You love me for it Yes you love me for it... Dark eyes Stripped of all disguise You're afraid of me Just as much as you ever hoped to be Broken glass on the table Shadows in the air Shadows in the air You need me for it Yes you need me for it The clouds run by in the empty sky There are mysteries there And they're in your touch There's a moving fear & a darkness here And it's in my touch It's in my touch Dark eyes Stripped of all disguise Dark eyes Stripped clear Broken glass on the table Shadows in the air Shadows in the air You need me for it Yes you need me for it Dark eyes My shadow heart Dark eyes my shadow heart |

There comes an affair in the tides of men
When you can't go back again Yes there comes a darkness in the affairs of light When you can't hold back the night So you go where your mind will keep Where the rain plays the restless to sleep On the notes of a broken piano O the rivers and the seas and you that ride them forever They called my name to your darkeyed ranks to leave them never Yes my name it is written in the sand And it can't escape your sweeping hand There comes a time as tides must come When they leave, take some, leave some Yes there comes a wave in the seas of men When you can't swim back again So you go where your mind will keep Where the wind lulls the restless to sleep In the beams of the broken headlights |

In a white room
With black curtains Near the stations Black roof country No gold pavements Tired starlings Silver horses Ran down moonbeams In your dark eyes Dawn light smiles On you leaving My contentment... And I'll wait in this place Where the sun never shines Wait in this place Where the shadows run from themselves You said no strings Could secure you At the station Platform tickets Restless diesels Goodbye windows I walked into Such a sad time At the station As I walked out Felt my own need Just beginning And I'll wait in the queue As the trains come back Lie in the dark Where the shadows run from themselves At the party She was kindness In the hard crowd Consolation For the old wounds Now forgotten Yellow tigers Crouched in jungles In your dark eyes She's just dressing Goodbye windows Tired starlings And I'll wait in this place With the lonely crowd Lie in the dark Where the shadows run from themselves |

There's a surge of all this energy
That collapses from within Like blood looking for a wound I call for you again And I call your name And the angry rain turns to brilliance This life is so cruel But this life is so good She said anger's the real eye of your body I said I got no privilege to anger We all got whacked this time around We all got smacked to the ground... I got no privilege to anger This life is so cruel But this life is so good |
