I'm sick of blowing smoke out,
Trying hard to feel doubt, My book dropped to the ground, At the part where the frontiers are all pulled down, But they couldn't and they wouldn't have, They couldn't and they shouldn't have, Bu they coul and they would have, I inherited a nature, In a language all worn out, And wallowed by the windows, In a rambling house at the edge of what I couldn't have, I couldn't and I shouldn't have, I could and I should have, Someday you will find a heaven, Full of the good and freedom, Of somewhere younger than America, Bordering what we could hope to have, Through the north woods, East, out of these slow motion town, Through the willows and the aspens, You've been weighted down, Full of what you couldn't have, You couldn't and you shouldn't have, You could and you should have, Someday you will find a heaven, Full of the good and freedom, Of somewhere younger than America, Bordering what we could hope to have, And from a first edition, Of 'East of Eden', You found a version of America, Bordering what we could hope to have, Someday you will find a heaven, Full of the good and freedom, Of somewhere younger than America, Bordering what we could hope, |

I'll meet you outside the city halls I'll be standing on the steps of the hall I'll be waving till I find you You said "be there or be square, and meet me outside the hall" And how could I refuse Such an eloquent misuse of a phrase that I never would In the back of your mind you're leaving alone But after you leave, you'll be breathing alone What could I circle Still, by the side of the city halls Five minutes is a month in the past When no one's waiting to find you People stop and stare at me outside the hall In other lives we don't succeed But the rain in Albion street Fills a silence that no words could In the back of your mind you're leaving alone After you leave, you'll be breathing alone What could I circle |

You take my life away You take my life away You take my life away To break my life away To break my life away To break my life away And then you look into my eyes Until I saw the night's surprise And you saw the night's surprise And you know that the night Can bring you back to life And you know that the night Can bring you back to life And there's a chance that it might If it won't take away your life Then you'll know that the night Can bring you back, it brings you back to life You break my life away To break my life away You break my life away You take my life away You take my life away You take my life away And then I look into your eyes Until I saw the night's surprise And you saw the night's surprise And you know that the night Can bring you back to life And you know that the night Can bring you back to life And there's a chance that it might If it won't take away your life Then you'll know that the night Can bring you back, it brings you back to life |

You follow it back You follow it all back Then you take my dreams of nothing You regard them all with nothing And through the unknown we go back You find the new, and you take it back Until you take my dreams of nothing Make it in together So it feels like we belong To a place we feel together So it feels like we're all gone When we're gone for forever I'll be gone for forever You follow it back You follow it all back Then you take my dreams of nothing To regard them all with nothing Between the road and the water's edge An acolyte of disorder Then you bury my dreams of nothing We make it in together So it feels like we belong We re-unite together So it feels like we're all gone Cause we're gone for forever Then we're gone for forever I'm gone for forever |

And the moon brings us back I'm going back over to the islands In-between your smiles There's a clue whether to scream or be silent The wind blows sad and joyful on our arrival onto the island And with your sense of dislocation You make the perfect travelling companion The world will always seem So much younger than me When I take the boat out A crowded world will always seem Emptier to me When I take the boat out Suspicion fills the staranger Who looks beyond the horizon All the days that I found love And left with only my feelings to survive on I walk the solemn line in with the rhythm Of the seas around the island Threre are times to act, times to stand back And time to show what's needed to rely on And the world will always seem So much younger than me When I take the boat out A crowded world will always seem Emptier to me When I take the boat out When the sea answers the island When I take the boat out It's emptier and silent When I take the boat out How come you always seem so real defined You put your hand in my hand make it my design And we give what we have, and we do what we can Put your hand in my hand How come you always seem so real defined Put your hand in my hand make it our design And we give what we have, and we do what we can Put your hand in my hand When the sea answers the island |

We've gone post electric I've written down the concept It's casual to deny Along sentimental lines A little bronze age electric And born for the first time Returning to the tried and tested methods Keep it modern and alive I took it as a warning sign When the heavens clouded over I've got to keep it in sight It's the reason for me being in the morning light To have a clear, clear vision Despite all the things I'm told Broken down and homesick To hide the disappointment Because a fortunate life, holds no surprise When you're looking for distinction And what it brings Then it's an easy climb to find A worthwhile reason When you're looking for a warning sign An inhibited persona Into the lines of empty sky They're richer than my feelings for the moning light To have a clear, clear vision Despite all the things I'm told |

Your heart's not the type to go beating by itself Lyrics aside, then let it beat for someone else Don't let your heart do the talking for your mind You'll be living in the shadows of your secrets But your heart has something I don't have And your heart has something I want to have it away I want to have it away A little hope to give you hope As doubt sets in your mind And what you say is too kind And not worth it's patience I was there, I was there I'd complain if I cared And I'll use the words the way they make me sound But your heart has something I don't have But your heart has something I want to have it away I want to have it away Your heart has something I don't have Your heart has something I want to have it away I want to have it away |

I'm choosing words that seem to be forgotten As I use them These are the same words that let me be forgiven The minute I choose them So I won't try, try, try To sell my advice Cause it's meant to be forgotten The minute you try The lies take the place Of advice I can't say If I'm awake Like I say We're built that way, where I'm from An extension of Lacan's way A mirror stage Of disappointment Where you're from Give me a clue when these words were written In reference to use them So when they're gone, they intend to be forgotten The minute you choose them There's not much point Accepting your advice Like 'oh to be forgotten' It only takes two minutes for you To change your mind I can't say If I'm awake Like I say We're built that way, where I'm from An extension of Lacan's way A mirror stage Of disappointment Where you're from |

It's all the little things Descending in the hope for what tomorrow brings Depending what you wear and what you choose to sing But slumped forward on bars, seeing circles in stars You'll find it hard to define who you are With acclaim, you find it anywhere you are It's in the dictionary under 'stars, who think they're stars' But then judgement doesn't go far You've broken the bounds of the circling stars Show me fame Decide who to blame Let me think about it all night Why do you have to show me again When you were right the first time? I've watched you turn into a goodbye Almost into a stranger The dead have been seen alive Take my car and drive away, towards the river Drive to the end of the river And show me fame Decide who to blame Let me think about it all night Why do you have to show me again When you were right the first time? Show me blame Let me think about fame I'll think about it all night Why do you have to show me again? I believed you more the first time Show me fame Decide who to blame Let me think about it all night Why do you have to show me again When you were right the first time? |

That age old look is in your face It's been there a while and tries not to say That you've had your day But you have a faith, that looks both ways The look in your eyes will last a lifetime So when you reach the end of the road It still leaves somewhere to go You don't look for signs at the end of the road But I won't try to live side by side And I won't try, when you can take me back in time That charmless look upon your face Found its way through the smallest things That have changed So when you reach the end of the road It still leaves somewhere to go You don't look for signs at the end of the road But I won't try to live side by side And I won't try, when you can take me back in time And I won't try to live side by side And I won't try, when no one can take me back in time |
