Time is beating harder
Time's running after me Time's running faster inside Running out of me Every movement... Every moment... Harder, faster into me Every movement's... Every moment's... Harder, faster into me Like you and your love Like you and your love Like you and your love Like you And your love Like you And your love Keeping time with me Like you and your love And your leaving Tearing into me Crashing into me Tearing me apart Pumping Beating A cold cold heart Pumping Bleeding Re-set Re-time Re-live Start Oh right now we're lost. We're big clocks of brass glass wood with hands swimming big blue waves crashing through seconds hours minutes spinning out of control dimly lit digits of time in space ringing out yet muted the endless blackness of now of night of love sex dizzying into distant spiral of light lit solely licked slowly by thick splashes of white love liquid life liquid a flickering screen to see you with pheromone to sense you with pheromone to name you with blinding burst head-splitting scream of no longer being matter all colours merging no matter take me to the edge of time of breath of life creating life playing with death dissolve me there at the edge Getting harder Getting easier Getting harder Getting easier The getting harder Makes it easier The getting harder Makes it easier To keep you close to me The getting harder Makes it easier To keep you deep in me... |

These are just words from the void of wanting
Externalised in melody and chanting I want to be where darkness dwells A place in the city where night-time swells And spills itself over to the break of day With only eyes and hands to feel my way Take me to a place where darkness swells The pain to a point where it can't be held Burst and break it and let it all spill Through the dark city night where angels will I'm close enough to smell the drink on your breath Be under your skin being fully dressed To give and give and give 'til there's nothing left Take and take and take 'til you've all you need Take me to a place where darkness swells The pain to a point where it can't be held Burst and break it and let it all spill Through the dark city night where angels will In the guise of strangers Lead me back Let me heal Until I feel you touch me I can't dissolve Make water of my heart, make powder of my bones There's more pain here than I can keep inside me No place I know where it can't find me Take me to a place where darkness swells The pain to a point where it can't be held Burst and break it and let it all spill Through the dark city night where angels will Take and take and take me 'til I start to bleed Take me out of myself and set me free Free from the hurt to be absolved Until I feel you touch me I can't let go Take me to a place where darkness swells The pain to a point where it can't be held Burst and break it and let it all spill Through the dark city night where angels will In the guise of strangers Lead me back Let me heal. |

As a sleeper in metropolis
You are insignificance Dreams become entangled in the system Environment moves over the sleeper Conditioned air Conditions sedated breathing The sensation of viscose sheets on naked flesh Soft and warm But lonesome in the blackened ocean of night Confined in the helpless safety of desires and dreams We fight our insignificance The harder we fight The higher the wall Outside, the cancerous city spreads Like an illness Its symptoms In cars that cruise to inevitable destinations Tailed by the silent spotlights Of society-created paranoia No alternative could grow Where love cannot take root No shadows will replace The warmth of your contact Love is dead in metropolis All contact through glove or partition What a waste The city A wasting disease |

I thank god for you
Through all the descending scales The falling skies So many shades of blue The warmth you radiate The path you led me to I'm thanking god for you In the fire of that August Each horizon seemed unreachable Now gently broken through And I thank god for you For each time you caught me in my falling Answered to my calling For what you made me do Thanking god for you It's just life inside unfolding Finding things once lost anew Love and mercy will in time Find and pull it through I'm thanking you And thanking something unknown Which may not or may be true But shows itself as love and mercy And what love in life can do. |

The world keeps watch where its jewels are sleeping -
under desert sands, its black heart's beating the pulsing liquid earth - ours for the taking But beyond the marked borders, beyond strategic lines the dust's turning red, the wind's carrying cries and all around the world the world closes its eyes A people without land fights for existence as opposing winds disperse all calls for assistance Will their annihilation be the price of our silence? The only sounds heard are oil-hungry nations' blood-thirsty threats of immediate action should the hold on resources ever be threatened There can be no excuses, no justification no heads turned away from their situation the price of our silence will be their annihilation! Beyond the marked borders, beyond strategic lines the dust's turning red, the wind's carrying cries and all around the world the world closes its eyes. |

Through these city nightmares you'd walk with me
And we'd talk of it with idealistic assurance That it wouldn't tear us apart We'd keep our heads above the blackened water But there's no room for ideals in this mechanical place And you're gone now Through a grimy window that I can't keep clean Through billowing smoke that's swallowed the sun You're nowhere to be seen Do you think our desires still burn I guess it was desires that tore us apart There has to be passion A passion for living, surviving And that means detachment Every-body has a weapon to fight you with To beat you with when you are down There were too many defence between us Doubting all the time Fearinf all the time Doubting all the time Fearinf all the time That like these urban nightmares We'd blacken each other skies When we passed the subway we tried to ignore our fate there Of written threats on endless walls Unjustified crimes carried on stifled calls Would you walk with me now through this pouring rain It used to mingle with our tears then dry with the hopes That we left behind It rains even harder now . |

Walking into light
From the blank evening sky Knuckles rub away the darkness Circling my eyes Walking into warmth From the cold evening air Numb white fingers push Greasy rain through my hair You walk into view From shadow thrown against the door Hands reach out and grasp the moment They've been waiting for You pull me close Dampness seeps through to your skin You peel the layers away I feel the fire ignite within You create the feeling I contain the need It's moments that we're stealing No pleasure's ever free You sustain the rhythm I'll maintain the beat It's the only ,chance we're given Let's turn this cold to heat You possess the notion I take full heed We're bound by this emotion Two bodies - one heartbeat You create the feeling I contain the need You sustain the rhythm I'll maintain the beat Desire comes alive Nothing interrupts the flow Water nurtures every crevice Where this love needs to grow Sliding to the floor We swell , falling to the ground The world becomes a place With no clear shapes, with no clear sounds We're lost for a short while In the knot where love's entwined You pour the freedom from deep inside I drink it back like wine The murmur of your voice Soft words soothe away the doubt your strength - so essential Something i can't do without You .... Inside we slow each movement 'Til we're static once again Outside the city runs Cars through roads like blood through veins Here sweet sticky air Locke a cover keeps us warm Drops of love fall from us The last moments of the storm Opening my eyes You're even closer now to me As the crowd goes pushing onwards Crashing forwards like a sea We turn and feel the world Right now a million miles away It's always there to interfere But I'm always here to say You .... ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By CLARKE, ANNE/HARROW, DAVID <i>Lyrics © EMI Music Publishing</i> |

Pauses
Are broken by statements, not tenderness I always wanted much more than this Heartsworn misguidance Disguised in abundance Of thoughts of the moment Not facts of the day Gestures are only as loud as the words I was tricked by the movement All sound went unheard Obscured by the darkness, I reach for your face But I find a cold emptiness has taken its place Left all alone after making that find A silent scream starts distorting the mind And I'm always wanting much more than this Left breathing in hope gently passed by your kiss But the lifeline is broken in two equal halves One closes up slowly The second one laughs... |

So this is where the future lies
In a beer gut belly In an open fly Brilcremed, acrylic, mindless boys Punching, kicking, making noise From the cradle to the city streets They spill out their aggression By punching what they don't understand And stopping all forms of expression Teaching each other to be men By spewing in the street Well now I know just what to do To make my man complete! Against the power of their misguidance We must learn to fight To be just what we want to be Morning, noon and night Night is for the hunters And the hunted are you and me Hunted for just having Some form of identity Night is for the hunters And the hunted are you and me Hunted for just retaining Some form of identity Night is for the hunters And the hunted are you and me Hunted for just having Some form of individuality. |
