It's been a long, long time
And too many miles of handshaking strangers parading their smiles Of all the faces that come and go The only one I really wanna know I want you I want you And all the people they never stop They're talking their parrot talk But your voice is clear through the noise in my ear So what? Can't believe I can feel this way The only one way I know how to say I want you I want you I can't wait cus I can't take it I know you've been contaminated My love is warm, my love is strong If there's anything you learn to be afraid But then time marches on and it kicks you aside And they said we have time But you know that they lied I know you don't need to be caught in between my extremes But you've shown me things I so needed see So believe when I say to you No matter where I am, I'd rather be with you I want you I want you I want you I want you |

The stars above shine down below
The fever you hold on this night Deathly cold I can feel from this side of the door I can feel Eleanor He said, sun don't rise He said sun don't shine He said don't bring tomorrow To justify tonight The moon is full-the stars are bright And the sky is a poisonous garden Tonight. Sip your Tequila. Give me some time To unlearn all I've learned for the spring to unwind And then came your sweet mouth I began to move mine. They knew with the dawn They knew with the day They knew what they had Would be young naked prey And attacked from all sides By a world filled with Poison and hate Eleanor trembles. Eleanor moans. Somehow, this body is someone She always has known She cries tears on his chest O so silent and slow- She said please don't go. Please don't go And she cried and she died in his arms And he cried nevermore The moon is full, the stars are bright And the sky is a poisonous garden Tonight. |

I hear you're driving
someone else's car now... She said you came and took your stuff away - All the poetry, and the trunk you kept your life in - I knew that it would come to that someday... Like a sad hallucination, when I opened up my eyes, the train had passed the station, and you were trapped inside... Yet I never wonder where you went, I only wonder why, I wonder why... Oh Caroline Oh, whoa-oh Caroline oh, oh Caroline whoa whoa whoa, Caroline Well I hear you're using someone else's number; She said she saw you in the store today. It doesn't matter whose address you're listed under, I only know they'll never make you stay. Like a memory in motion, you were only passing through... that is all you've ever known of life, that's all you'll ever do. There's a dream I have where I sail away; looking back I wave at you, and I wave goodbye... Oh Caroline Oh, oh whoa oh, Caroline Oh, oh Caroline Oh In another life I see you as an angel flying high, and the hands of time will free you - you will cast your chains aside - and the dawn will come and kiss away every tear that's ever fallen from your eyes... behind those eyes, I wonder Oh, Caroline... oh, oh, oh... Oh, oh... Caroline... Sometimes I wonder... Oh... Caroline Sometimes I, Sometimes I wonder... |

You always said I was a liar
But we burn like a house on fire No matter what, you know that to be true And everything you gave to me Changed everything I used to be Much more than anyone I ever knew And I don't need a hero I don't need a soldier I did when I was younger But now that I am older I don't need a father I don't wanna be your mother It's just that anyone of us is half Without another one is you Is you The colours of that piece of time Are still so fresh inside my mind And it makes the movie Of my life seem pale And all the games I have to play I got to give a lot of me away But the part with us Will never be for sale And I don't need a hero I don't need a soldier I did when I was younger But now that I am older I don't need a father I don't wanna be your mother It's just that anyone of us is half Without another one is you The words of love have been confused The ways of love have been abused Is this a lottery you win or lose? I don't know It's an endless circle over time The place inside where I hold and find Your sweet and happy music in my soul And I don't need a hero I don't need a soldier I did when I was younger But now that I’m so much older I don't need a father I don't wanna be your mother It's just that anyone of us is half Without another one is you Is you |

On a hot wind ocean And the summer comes and the summer goes And always has and will And something, somewhere that you said Goes ricochet all through my head And flashing like a neon sign, the time stood still Hours of forever Running all together Like the crossroads of a minute And you and me were in it And I never saw it coming Never saw it fade away Today, today, today Days and days Days and days Days and days Days and days And still the whining of the wheels Is closest to the way I feel And winter comes and winter goes And always has and will Another hour, another day Another year you pissed away Remember walking in the rain I'm walking there still That’s hours of forever Running all together Like the crossroads of a minute And you and me were in it And I never saw it coming Never saw it fade away Today, today, today Days and days Days and days Days and days Days and days Like every heart to beat before And every wave to kiss a shore I'm not the first, I'm not the last And soon to be your past But every morning When the light comes Creeping in around my eyes Another future falls behind The one I had in mind It’s hours of forever Running all together Like the crossroads of a minute And you and me were in it And I never saw it coming Never saw it fade away Today, today, today Days and days Days and days Days and days Days and days Days and days and days and days and days and days and days and days |

The prey of the beast
Screamed bloody murder The line is so fine Between hoping and hurting Former believers they beg for release As love looking down on them Smiles and picks his teeth Trapped in between Heaven and hell He knows all the secrets You don't want to tell There's nowhere to run And there's nowhere to hide Love knows you all too well He will find you Love is the ghost Haunting your head Love is the killer You thought was your friend Love is the creature Who lives in the dark Sneaks up and stick you And painfully pick you apart Love is a poet Love sings the songs Pointing his finger You follow along Voices are calling The monster wants out of you Paws you and claws you You try not to fall Love is the leech Sucking you up Love is a vampire Drunk on your blood Love is the beast That will tear out your heart Hungrily lick it And painfully pick it apart Love is the leech Sucking you up Love is a vampire Drunk on your blood Love is the beast That will tear out your heart Hungrily lick it And painfully pick it apart Love is the ghost Haunting your head Love is the killer You thought was your friend Love is the creature Who lives in the dark Sneak up and stick you And painfully pick you apart |

The fever you hold on this night Deathly cold I can feel from this side of the door I can feel Eleanor He said, sun don't rise He said sun don't shine He said don't bring tomorrow To justify tonight The moon is full-the stars are bright And the sky is a poisonous garden Tonight. Sip your Tequila. Give me some time To unlearn all I've learned for the spring to unwind And then came your sweet mouth I began to move mine. They knew with the dawn They knew with the day They knew what they had Would be young naked prey And attacked from all sides By a world filled with Poison and hate Eleanor trembles. Eleanor moans. Somehow, this body is someone She always has known She cries tears on his chest O so silent and slow- She said please don't go. Please don't go And she cried and she died in his arms And he cried nevermore The moon is full, the stars are bright And the sky is a poisonous garden Tonight. |

They sat together in the park
As the evening sky grew dark, She looked at him and he felt a spark tingle to his bones. 'twas then he felt alone and wished that he'd gone straight And watched out for a simple twist of fate. They walked along by the old canal A little confused, i remember well And stopped into a strange hotel with a neon burnin' bright. He felt the heat of the night hit him like a freight train Moving with a simple twist of fate. A saxophone someplace far off played As she was walkin' by the arcade. As the light bust through a beat-up shade where he was wakin' up, She dropped a coin into the cup of a blind man at the gate And forgot about a simple twist of fate. He woke up, the room was bare He didn't see her anywhere. He told himself he didn't care, pushed the window open wide, Felt an emptiness inside to which he just could not relate Brought on by a simple twist of fate. He hears the ticking of the clocks And walks along with a parrot that talks, Hunts her down by the waterfront docks where the sailers all come in. Maybe she'll pick him out again, how long must he wait Once more for a simple twist of fate. People tell me it's a sin To know and feel too much within. I still believe she was my twin, but i lost the ring. She was born in spring, but i was born too late Blame it on a simple twist of fate. |

Why Don't You See Me? By Concrete Blonde
(J. Napolitano) When you lay down, Do you hear sounds? Does the silence have a voice? What does it say? What do you hear? What does it whisper in your ear? Why don't you hear me? Why don't you hear me? When you get up, into the light, When you come up out of your night, What do you see? And do you see? Or have you lost your sense of sight? Why don't you see me? Why don't you see me? Why don't you see me? Why don't you see me? What do you think? What do you feel? 'Cause this is feeling very real. And if you feel, Why can't you say? Give me a little demonstration. Can't you feel me? Why don't you feel me? Why don't you feel me? Why don't you feel me? Are you in love? Are you in pain? Are they together and the same? Where do you go? Who do you know? Are you that lonely ghost on the side? Why don't you see me? Why don't you free me? Why don't you feel me? Why don't you feel me? Why can't you hear me? Why can't you hear me? Why don't you see me? Why don't you see me? |

You don't believe in love
You don't believe in hatred Put your money in the bank It's the only way to save it You try to make a buck But you haven't made a penny You need a little luck But you know you won't get any You don't believe in God You don't believe in glory You've got a brother in the clinic Tells the same kind of story If he had another life He'd know what would be waiting If he had another soul He could sell it all to Satan You don't believe in war You don't believe in Jesus Got a sister in New York She knows how she pleases Walking the streets On the south side of the city Trying to make ends meet Isn't that a pity...for money |

Maybe it's just a phase
The days and the nights And the nights and days Of all the tossing and turning And churning and burning Inside my brain Or maybe I'm finally insane But I don't know what I believe anymore It's like I'm caught in some revolving door Going over and over And over and over and Teach me how to pray Tell me what to say Help me Help me Help me find my way I never could play their game You know that all your faces look the same And I won't give up Won't give in You know I never want to be like them Well, I'm ticking away like time You know I'm out of sync And I'm out of my mind You know I used to know a truth from a lie Just by looking in their eyes Carry me away Further and further And further every day Help me Help me Help me find my way I'm hanging by a thread And the waves of confusion Break down on my head And when I think of all the things you said Well, the words fall dead Higher every day A price I swore I'd never pay Help me Help me Help me find my way Help me find my way. |

My eyes are jaded and complicated,
tired of the liars and the masqueraded Who steals our innocence away, like a thief in the night? Who took away our faith in what we know to be right? That was another world, then that was another time You can never go back to the scene of a perfect crime. Whatever became of the child I was I never want to lose her no I won't give her up and now my heart is harder, my skin is getting tougher and tougher That was another world then That was another time You can never go back to the place where love is blind You can never go back to the scene of a perfect crime Whatever became of our sweet blind love As long as we could be together it was more than enough Now we're all grown up and we need so much I never knew that the price would go up as such That was another world then, then That was another time Well you can never go back to the place where love is blind. Well you can never go back to the place where love is blind. Well you can never go back to the place where love is blind. You can never go back to the scene of a perfect crime. |

Like kids around a Christmas tree And then you smile all nice and warm The Little Conversations If I tried my very best you know I never could say anything In twenty words or less. Somewhere, sometime, down the line someday I may confess, and tell you all, that's all The Little Conversations On me are very rough They leave me all in pieces You know there's never time enough like a book with missing pages like a story incomplete like a painting left unfinished it feels like not enough to eat.

Like a sad hallucination, when I opened up my eyes, the train had passed the station, and you were trapped inside... Yet I never wonder where you went, I only wonder why, I wonder why... Oh Caroline Oh, whoa-oh Caroline oh, oh Caroline whoa whoa whoa, Caroline Well I hear you're using someone else's number; She said she saw you in the store today. It doesn't matter whose address you're listed under, I only know they'll never make you stay. Like a memory in motion, you were only passing through... that is all you've ever known of life, that's all you'll ever do. There's a dream I have where I sail away; looking back I wave at you, and I wave goodbye... Oh Caroline Oh, oh whoa oh, Caroline Oh, oh Caroline Oh In another life I see you as an angel flying high, and the hands of time will free you - you will cast your chains aside - and the dawn will come and kiss away every tear that's ever fallen from your eyes... behind those eyes, I wonder Oh, Caroline... oh, oh, oh...

Blackest eyes I've ever seen like moonstones shine,
And all the while behind the dancing eyes the boy was crying, He creeps like ivy on the stairs, you know I liked him then, When we would sit and drink for hours and watch the sidewalk spin. (Chorus) Well baby, I don't wanna hear your secrets, I don't share your pain, I don't wanna know about the wrinkles in your bed, I don't wanna hear about the ghost inside your haunted head, Inside your haunted head. Now, I don't need your tragedy and I don't need your shame, You can't keep your promises, but you keep naming names. He laid his troubles out to me like a deck of playing cards, Well don't you know that I can tell the Kings and Jokers well apart? (Chorus) Now, I don't wanna hear your secrets, I don't share your blame, I don't wanna hear about the wrinkles in your bed, I don't wanna hear about the ghost inside your haunted head, Inside your haunted head! Haunted, Head. |

I re-read silly lines
that made sense at the time pages all stained with tears & red wine & I walk through the airport & read magazines every face that I see so much younger than me & I drink & I think how I don't even miss my glorious past or the lips that I've kissed & I smile to myself at how easy this is.. easy to breathe, easy to live I remember when I would tear myself in two. Over how to be, what to say & what to do did you really like me better then? did you really like me better when I was a fool? So I live in these days but I still have my old ways my future, somehow, she has yet to arrive & I see all around me the Women On Time. Kids & divorces & crisis in midlife so do I surrender & give up my dream for a brick in the wall & a washing machine grow up & get real have a kid in their teens who won't care what I've done where I've been, what I've seen .. & I wonder why I tear myself in two over who to be, where to be & what to do 'cause I know you liked me better then.. I know you liked me better when I was a fool. I'm free to a fault. 45. Playing guitar. Living my life. I fly down the highway sun on my face I belong to nobody. I belong to no place. I cry over poetry. & I laugh at myself. still, I'd rather be me. than anyone else. |

Walking on a cloud to another shore
A luminous and beautiful promise of more Tonight I'll be with you Tonight I'll be with you Walking through time Dancing through space The pearly-gray moon is wearing your face And tonight I'll be with you Tonight I'll be with you Oh I hear your voice Oh I have no choice I follow Swinging on a star Flying around This is so bizarre, maybe I better come down Tonight I'll be with you Tonight I'll be with you Let's go planet hopping Through the universe There's no stopping us Where to first? Tonight I'll be with you Tonight I'll be with you |

You were watching me eat
You were watching me sleep You were a willing sheep And I was little-bo-peep and You were writing it down and You were looking for cracks but I Look good with a knife in my back Valentine, I'm all mine Valentine, I'm all mine With a flick of my wrist and With a twitch of my lid I'll make you wish like hell You never said what you did and With a flick of my tongue and With a lick of my lip You'll never work your way up To where I slipped from Valentine, My steel spine Shines up fine, Valentine Valentine, I'm all mine Shines up fine, Valentine Well I got leather skin And I got a brick head And I got clay feet and A heart of dead lead and I'm all wired up And I got a lotta soul And from what I'm told a golden hole Valentine, My steel spine Shines up fine, Valentine Valentine, I'm all mine Shines up fine, Valentine |

what I feel inside,
sometimes is hard to get out. lost in translation what I'm thinking about. the voices inside... I believe when I hear they come from somewhere between my heart & my ear... INSIDE vs. OUTSIDE. INSIDE vs. OUTSIDE. INSIDE vs. OUTSIDE. here on the inside there's a war going on with what's on the outside where I don't think I belong. when I go outside it's all so crazy out there I like it inside it's so much safer in here. INSIDE vs. OUTSIDE. INSIDE vs. OUTSIDE. INSIDE vs. OUTSIDE. if you could turn yourself turn yourself inside out what would I see then? what would you be all about? who's on the inside? behind the cheap paper face some other someone is slowly taking your place. INSIDE vs. OUTSIDE. INSIDE vs. OUTSIDE. INSIDE vs. OUTSIDE. |

ever since I was a little kid I wondered
why people did the things they did I wondered why people said the things they said I used to lie awake at night in bed & nobody seemed to be what they seemed & they taught me to stop believing in dreams & told me to work & be pretty & breed but I think & I feel & I need to know why I FRIED. I WOKE UP ONE DAY & I DIED. I FOUND MYSELF ON THE OTHER SIDE. OH YEAH THE DOOR WAS OPEN WIDE. philosophy, science, mathematics quantum physics...semantics I don't wanna buy thing they're selling meanwhile, all our brains are swelling visitors from outer space & new millennium racists oh yes, history is paling & my surge protection failed, & so I FRIED. I WOKE UP ONE DAY & I DIED. I FOUND MYSELF ON THE OTHER SIDE. OH YEAH THE DOOR WAS OPEN WIDE. love is power, love is pure, love is the only thing I'm sure of love is e lec tri ci ty felicity, it is life, you see it is the one thing beyond all control. The multi-dimensional-unmeasurable soul Try to contain it. Try to maintain it. no one can explain it I FRIED. I WOKE UP ONE DAY & I DIED. I FOUND MYSELF ON THE OTHER SIDE. OH YEAH THE DOOR WAS OPEN WIDE. |

what if I said I've
seen a miracle? what if I said my dreams come true? would you believe I have seen these things with my own eyes & saw the world go dark & dead & then go green & blue again you're my Angel. you're my Devil, too. When you fall, raise your eyes & know the sun & moon will rise & lift you up in love, above this mad raging zoo What if I told you you were beautiful? with your scars & missing parts & your painted face? What if I told you, you were very necessary to the chain, the vein, the children of a young & foolish race? you're my Angel. you're my Devil, too. When you fall, raise your eyes & know the sun & moon will rise & lift you up in love, above this raging zoo what if I said I saw the future: & the future was the picture in your head? what if I said to you to paint another picture & you'd wake up in that future that you'd painted, & you did? |
