I see a woman with death in her eyes
But I don't have the time to pray For her salvation or for her soul She walks her chosen way But in the darkness, and in the light I have found some hope Of me getting out, from this underground I can't wait to get back home, back home Such a tender age to sell her soul For dreams that don't come true She's like a woman whose whole life has dissolved She's the living proof That all that glitters is not gold And even serpents shine Ah, she got bitten then, she'll get bitten again While I'm sitting here watching the tide come in You make me feel responsible For the state you've got yourself in Oh I know it's impossible for you To ever be the same person again I got us into this, I've gotta get us out, uh huh It's you and me all the way From here to eternity It's you and me all the way |

Now I know what you want
But I don't know how to give it I think our life together has been cursed I don't know which one of us is worse Is it the one who lies or the one who hurts? It's a crime, it's a crime I'm always in the wrong place in the wrong time You say I should be there You don't tell me where you're living It serves as ammunition for my verse I practice spiritual research Among the ancient ruins covered in dirt It's my work, it's my work I'm always in the wrong place in the wrong term True love is your guiding light It's like a flaming torch You can see magic in the night As the flames start to distort I can hear bells again I hope they never stop 'em ringing They remind me of the distant past Looking through a window's stained-glass When the pledge was made And the spell was cast It's a crime, it's a crime I'm always in the wrong place at the wrong time I'm always in the wrong place at the wrong time I'm always in the wrong place at the wrong time |

I had to choose which one to lose
I couldn't do it for they each had their views It was so hard, tearing apart Now I know you gotta get it right at the start I learned my lesson now I learned it the hard way If you wanna be in love You've gotta pay and pay and pay After the pain that was suffered in vain The dark roads we travelled with nothing to gain And though the pleasures will always be treasured It's a shame it came to such drastic measures Indecision, lack of conviction Slurred diction failing what you're trying to say If you are a slave to love You're gonna pay and pay and pay Our flightpath's a gradual descent from the firmament I can tell by the tone of the letters you sent What was once sacred is now filled with hatred How come such love can be dissipated? I've had enough of all this poison and decay If you wanna come face to face with love You've gotta pay and pay and pay |

Some girls tell ya they're loving ya
But love is just destruction disguised under another name She says, "You're never on time I've been waiting here all my life The way you treat me you know it ain't right But I can't let you go" She says, "I'm fed up with your lies You stand for everything I despise But when you hold me and look me in the eyes You know, I can't let you go" You gotta understand it's not that simple You gotta understand it ain't that easy anymore You can't change the things that stand between us I can't take it anymore I can't take it anymore Most times I don't worry much But now and then I think about All those things she says to me She says "You're never on time I've been waiting here all my life That ain't no way to treat your fucking wife But I can't let you go" You gotta understand There's no solution You read about these kind of things Almost everyday Maybe it's just called evolution I can't take it anyway I can't take it anymore I can't take it anymore I can't take it anymore |

Caught between right and wrong
Tell me, is there no escaping? I just can't go on Living from day to day And sometimes when I wake up Feel like I never woke up at all Sordid clandestine love It burns your heart out Try to fix up an hour In the back seat Get to know each other Can't you wait 'til the evening When the stars are shining bright? There's no-one around Who could cause any danger Who else but you Would stay with me baby? Ships out at sea Oh to be free Just like a sailor at sea In the middle of the sea |

You left that morning
You gave me no warning You were my best friend Oh, I can't live without you There was something about you I want you back again Baby, sometimes I think of you Out there in the night All the comforts of home have been denied People find it hard to understand I never cried before One thing's for certain There's nothing around that Could make me cry no more Baby, sometimes I think of you Out there in the night All the comforts of home have been denied Compared to all of them You stand out You gave me pure unspoiled love They're all reaching and grabbing But all you did was give me Love and love and love and love Sometimes I think of you Out there in the night Roaming the empty streets Looking for your life Sometimes I think of you Out there in the night You ain't here with me And nothing seems right Sometimes I think of you Out there in the night |

There is nothing you could hope to gain
By doing this To be here in your arms is like Falling off of a precipice, baby Going down, oh down, right down Oh no, you just can't win There's no sense in suffering As the rocks tumble and the earth slides too This means it's curtains for you This means curtains for you This means curtains for you You must have such a tangled mind Oh, you blow from hot to cold You even like to go out every Saturday night You pale beside the image you hold The lights dim and the circus role Oh, roll on Oh no, you just can't win There's no sense in suffering As the rocks tumble and the earth slides too This means it's curtains for you This means curtains for you This means curtains for you You never really understood me This means curtains for you This means curtains for you This means curtains for you This means curtains for you |

It's a different kind of life when you're on this programme
You see things you never thought could be seen You get the other side of life when you're on this programme, baby Things get dirty when they look so clean I don't even recall the things that you accuse me of I feel so far away from everything I ever loved, I ever loved You know you've gotta sweat when you're on this programme, honey The lights are glaring, it's a cold heat We're all God's children and we got A constant struggle in the face of defeat I've been having bad dreams, I can't get to sleep at night I feel so far away, I'm walking on the edge of time, the edge of time Well look at him he's hurt now, he's bleeding The curious will come and see him They fantasise about his life They see humour in him Every time you drop your guard, you find it twice as hard To reconcile your feelings You can always justify, all the times you've almost died Say life ain't that appealing That's the last you'll get, trapped by life, you Prefer existence on the other side The local residents are all white And their morals are well-defined |

If you try to follow me home tonight
You will find everything that you've heard is right You'll never return to the home you knew Leave it all behind, it's up to you Who wants to be happy forever? Up to you You know that fate brought us together And when time has left you too weak to resist I hope you will remember this We survived the cold winter nights last year Any time now my heart could melt with fear I'm scared of losing the most precious thing I own Wake up one day to find the bird has flown We could have been happy forever and ever, I'm all alone Remember that fate brought us together Shattered dreams have left you scarred beyond repair I hope you find someone who cares Someone who cares Someone who cares And when time has left you too weak to resist I hope you will remember this |

You find it tempting to give up the ghost
You always sell to the one who bids the most You get paid for your loyalty Waiting for someone to come along and set you free Can't you hear me? I want to die in the same place I was born Miles from nowhere I used to reach for the stars but now I've reformed She's out there somewhere If you ever start thinking what you're doing to me Maybe you will set me free From this sorrow From this sorrow From this sorrow All the defendants have been condemned When you were sentenced it covered all of them Give me justice you scream, you scream I ain't done nothing, it's all a crazy dream Can't you hear me? I want to die in the same place I was born Miles from nowhere I used to reach for the stars but now I've reformed She's out there somewhere If you ever start thinking what you're doing to me Maybe you will set me free From this sorrow From this sorrow From this sorrow I have no visions of love restrained My only prisons are savage and deranged Looking for passion devoid of guilt Your cold reaction transcends the myth you built Can't you hear me? I want to die in the same place I was born Miles from nowhere I used to reach for the stars but now I've reformed She's out there somewhere If you ever start thinking what you're doing to me Maybe you will set me free From this sorrow From this sorrow From this sorrow |
