Love me for money or love me for gain
Love me for beauty or love me from shame
Somebody told me it's all just the same, it's all the same
I want to share in your closet affair
So now you're hearing the point of this affair
Yet somebody told me it's going nowhere
It's going nowhere

Once upon a time, not too long ago,
We took a day out in Manchester.
We all fall down,
There's not enough hours in our day.
Played a bit of football, fell into the union,
Barged our way to the toilet.
With the Kung Fu king,
There's not enough hours in our day.
I remember seeing someone, dressed in a suit,
Looking like a lunatic.
And we all fall down,
There's not enough hours in our trip.
Well Academy coffee, is breaking your hands,
We got lovely posters to sell.
We all fall down,
There's not enough hours in our day.
We like lovin' yeah,
And the wine we share.
We like lovin' yeah,
And the wine we share.
Finally made our way back to the train,
Rolling into Sheffield tonight.
And it all falls down,
There's not enough hours in our life.
Try and guess my weight, wait at the station,
Whippin' Piccadilly tonight.
And it all falls down,
There's not enough hours in our life.
We like lovin' yeah,
And the wine we share.

These three sins have finally found me
Lust, ambition and greed
Creeping in the back door they came without warning
And burned whatever they could steal
They've burned whatever they could steal

So please could you go back where you came from again
We don't want to harm ya
We don't want to harm ya
We are not your armour
We're your friends

These three sins have fell from their horses
And taking me and you for a ride
Deliver us from evil when the devil disowned me
The serpents and the snakes will decide
The serpents and the snakes will decide

So please could you go back where you came from again
We don't want to harm ya
We don't want to harm ya
We are not your armour
We're your friends

So please could you go back where you came from again

There it was
Something beautiful
There it was
Something wonderful

Someone lying on my pillow
Someone knocking at my door
Here she comes
Here she comes

There it was
Something beautiful
There it was
Something wonderful

Someone lying on my pillow
Someone knocking at my door
There she was
There she was
There she was
There she was

From the day we arrive on this planet
And blinking, step into the sun
There's more to see than can ever be seen
More to do than can ever be done

There is far too much to take in here
More to find than can ever be found
But the sun rolling high
Through the sapphire sky
Keeps great and small on the endless round

It's the circle of life
And it moves us all
Through despair and hope
Through faith and love
Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the circle
The circle of life

It's the circle of life
And it moves us all
Through despair and hope
Through faith and love
Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the circle
The circle of life

A-one, two, three, what you tanglin' with me for?
Believe me, 'cause baby I won't lie.
A-five, six, seven, only girls go to heaven,
If you leave me, then baby I won't die.

'Cause if they say that you're wrong,
Don't cry, you're making it worse.
And if they say that you're wrong,
Don't cry.

A-one, two, three, stop stranglin' me,
I'll keep breathing, don't matter how hard you try.
A-seven, eight, nine, you'll never take me alive,
You could steal me, but babe you could not buy me.

'Cause if they say that you're wrong,
Don't cry, you're making it worse.
And if they say that you're wrong,
Don't cry.

Well if they say that you're wrong,
Don't cry, you're making it worse.
And if they say that you're wrong,
Don't cry.

And if they say that you're wrong,
Don't cry, you're making it worse.
And if they say that you're wrong.

I couldn't tell
The weight of the world was on your shoulders
Couldn't tell you were unhappy
You were unwell

I go along
Like nothing is wrong, no need to worry
Too late to feel sorry
Upon borrowed time

And now there's no answers
No easy way out
Take it all if you want
Take it all if you want

If you know how to run, sweet Virginia, you should run
If you know how to play, sweet Virginia, you should play
If you know how to sing, sweet Virginia, you should sing
If you know how to be, be without me, you should be
You should be

I couldn't see
It seems I don't learn or get the message
Don't know how you carry it
All by your self

How can it be?
It doesn't belong, it's so not funny
This vintage of violence
Again on parade

And now there's no wonder
No shelter from shame
Be alone if you want
Be alone if you want

If you know how to run, sweet Virginia, you should run
If you know how to play, sweet Virginia, you should play
If you know how to sing, sweet Virginia, you should sing
If you know how to be, be without me, you should be
You should be

Harry's on the run, he's got good reason
Since he bought a gun, he'll never sleep again
Widow sleeps alone, she never shuts her window
Mandy knows what's fun, she just don't know what's right

Come on, step inside
Come on, step inside, don't walk on by
Step inside
Come on, step inside

Sequins on his shirt, Stevie's up for dancing
Always been a flirt, Carol steps in line
History to the bone, memory to the marrow
Old an' weary man, treads a travelled road

Come on, step inside
Come on, step inside, don't walk on by
Step inside
Come on, step inside

Standing in the sun, trolling cold Maria
A Hare Krishna drum sounds distantly in time
The blood comes off like grime, in the wash hand basin
Just another crime, reason with her

Step inside
Come on, step inside, donm't walk on by
Step inside
Come on, step inside, don't walk on by
Step inside
Come on, step inside

Do you ever stop and wonder
Where you'd be without her

Do you listened, do you listened, do you listened
To what she said to you

The sound of sounds ain't lightning

The whisper, the promise, the solace
Of where you're lead to me
Yeah

The sound of sounds ain't lightning
Yeah

Her sound of sounds ain't lightning

Have you forgotten who you are
(Have you forgotten who you are)
Have you forgotten who you are
(Have you forgotten who you are)

Could you ever stop and wonder
Could you live without her

The sound of sounds ain't lightning
Yeah

The sound of sounds ain't lightning
Yeah

The sound of sounds ain't lightning
Yeah, yeah

So, it's alright now
It's alright now
So settle down
I will be around
God only knows why I'm so mild
But I'm the one who'll be around
When the cat's among the pigeons and the word is getting round
I say it's alright now, it's alright now
It's alright
So, is it alright now?
It's alright now
So settle down
I won't share that frown
When the cat's among the pigeons
And the word is getting round
When the promises are broken
And the premise is unsound
I'll say it's alright now
When the secret's somehow spoken
And they're trying to steal the crown
I'll say it's alright now
It's alright now
It's alright
God only knows just where I'm bound
But I'm the one who'll stay around
When the clowns are tryin' to steal your crown
I'll just say it's alright now

There's a place out near the Eighties
South of the border, west of the sun
And if we send out all the A-team
Silhouettes will creep out of the dark

There's a place out in the Nineties
North of the border, east of the light
We can send out all the B-team
Silhouettes will creep out every time

In a time before the Forties
North of the border, south of the sun
Well, we can send out anybody
Silhouettes will creep out of the dark

In a time after the Fifties
South of the border, east of the light
We can send out everybody
Silhouettes will creep out every time

Come all you faithful and rise
Things aren't what they might seem
With all the makeshift lies
You'll never come back clean
You'll never come out clean

Come all you faithful and rise
Things aren't what they might seem
With all the makeshift lies
You'll never come out clean

Come all you faithful and rise
Things aren't what they might seem
With all the makeshift lies
You'll never come back clean

I've been caught in a trap I set for myself
I don't want to be here when you could be somewhere else
So why'd I sit on my hands like a book on a shelf
Where nothing but dust is falling?
Everyone 'round here lives in silence

If I had something to say I'd say what I mean
How'd you lose all your words? I swear it's obscene, I curse
How'd you look at yourself as the mirror turns green?
Yeah, only the fools ignore us
Everyone 'round here lives in silence

I could wait all my life for someone to think
I can't open your eyes but I can make you blink at me
So please don't try to be nice, don't need your advice
Please leave me to die of boredom
Everyone 'round here lives in silence

Silence
They wait for the end
Silence
They bow and they bend
Silence
Their homes they defend

You like to think that you're taking over
But I can tel you I'm running the show
I can put you in your place so easy
It's not what but who you know.

I give my best, take you to the cleaners
Wash your hair and cleanse your soul
You did the hippy-trippy, feels good while it lasted
But it's no match for rock 'n roll.

Treating me like royalty is not gonna matter
Cause I am the King
And the King ain't listening to anyone who isn't wearing leather.

Rosalita's crawling round the knees
Rest my head, she's calling to me
In my dreams she's there for me
But open my eyes to see you there
I am falling

Sweetness, since you left me
It's been your flag I'm flying
But I'm sick of crying
Why did you choose to deceive me?
Was your plan just to kiss, fuck and leave me?
So, considerately, just please talk to me
I won't portray myself so pitifully
My little conceit, you see
Is that I will never need you more than now

Rosalita's walking out on me
Close the door, she's stalling, I see
She's so sweet, but not for me
But as we sit around and laugh about
She's trying to call me

Darling, though you hurt me
It's not from my lack of trying
You've got a fear of flying high
You have lost your patience
I see myself sink in your estimations
Forget the salutations
Just please study these tears
Your bitter words they just confirm my fears
Gonna let it fuck up all the years
Yet I will not need you more than now

Beautiful bitch, I could consider this a simple glitch
You're just a hopeless stitch in time
But then for your crimes
Please find yourself a little guilty with these lines
Got your conscience on my mind
Because I could not need you more
Oh, I could not need you more
Yeah, I could not need you more than now
Could not need you more than now

Gonna take that medicine, a cold, cold medicine, make me what I am
Gonna go down steady, gonna get my measure, I got credit with the medicine man

*Said I'm on fire, I'm on fire

Well, he mix the medicine and he take credit when he puts it in my hand
Gonna go down steady, gonna get my measure, I got credit with the medicine man

Rie's car drivin' me homeward 'cos I don't drive

Rie's car runnin' me over, runnin' me over but I don't mind
Rie's car drivin' me homeward 'cos I don't drive

Well, I'm smokin' in bed again, I didn't get the sign that said I should be up by ten
Gonna go down steady, gonna get my measure, I got credit with the medicine man

*Said I'm on fire, I'm on fire

You can write your tunes with rhythm and blues as your alibi
You can sell your soul and lay the blame on the passers-by
You shake your body on the TV screen
It seems to me, you'd try anything twice
And swing it out and use it as your aphrodisiac
You can give it to me, to me
Plain to see that I'll give it you back
You let it flow, let it go, there's nothing to it
Anyone can try anything twice, try anything twice

Chasing after stories that have already been told
Cannot look old Son House in the eyes
I know where you carry such a fragile load
But I've got yours, and you've got mine
It's a rhythm and blues alibi

La la la la la la la la la la laaa..
You can take a trip through your juke joint smoke-filled paradise
You can give it your all, 'cause you are walking a fine, fine line, la
You shake your booty on the TV screen
Seems to me, you'd try anything twice
You'd try anything twice
Well let me hear you now..

Chasing after stories that have already been told,
Couldn't I look old sunhouse in the eyes,
I know where you carry such a fragile load,
And I've got yours, you've got mine
It's a rhythm and blues alibi
La la la la la etc.

Aaaaaaah've been lost and now found my way
take me down and save
show me the way
take me places that I want to stay
here's to today
here's to today

Aaaaaaah've been knocked but now I'm on my feet
Call or light up whenever I get in this deep
take me places that I know sleep
let me sleep

Head out
Fade out
keep the light on
turn it up

head out
fall down now
keep the light on

I Don't, cannot live with things you say
GUys don't want you to let it go anyway
Wake me tenderly and leave me to lay

keep the light on
turn it up

head out
fall down now
keep the light on
turn it up

here's to today

Keep on kicking shit, keep running off the rails
Keep on picking the dirt from b'neath your fingernails
'Cause I'm not worried about your state of mind
'Cause you're not the revolutionary kind

Keep on in the jungle with your techno-cality
Keep on lapping up your chemical duty-free
'Cause I'm not worried about your state of mind
'Cause you're not the revolutionary kind

Keep on twisting turning, staring down the sun
Keep on dancing dancing, dance with everyone
You're not the revolutionary kind
You're not the revolutionary kind
You're not the revolutionary kind
You're not the revolutionary kind

Pussyfootin, pussyfootin around, it's just got me down, yeah

She has gone, but anyone is coming down??

Pussyfootin, pussyfootin around, it's just got me down
Because I don't care what's made you frown
Just tired of my pussyfootin around

You went there until you crash here
Then woken up to wonder where the night went
Keep breathing it'll come back again
Tonight will be different
We will all be saved

My name's Jimmy, I'm an alcoholic
And I have been for 33 years or more
So kill me, I will die without it
It's like this wherever I go

So we crashed down in BB's
Keep quiet because the question is elaborate
You need a lawyer, a doctor, a drink
To keep surviving
Keep me firing

My name's Jimmy, I'm an alcoholic
And I have been for 33 years or more
So kill me, I will die without it
It's like this wherever I go

I don't feel like going out

We'll return to the ocean
Ride the tide again
Test the water, jump right in
And try to swim

So ping one down
Let it sink
Sink on down
Like heavy metal

We should take off the lotion
Let the sun shine in
Admire the holes with shaded eyes
And fry again

And ping one down
Let it sink
Sink on down
Like heavy metal

Ping one down
Let it sink
Don't ponce around
Like poor old men

Colour clean
This sterile scene
Move as we please
No use in complaining

Purify now
Saints alive
We're all deprived
Be careful what you're saying

We've been on a safari
Just collecting skin
Head to toe in camouflage
But high again

So ping one down
And let it sink
Sink on down
Like heavy metal

Colour clean
This sterile scene
Move as we please
No use in complaining

Purify now
Saints alive
We're all deprived
Be careful what you're saying

Careful what you're saying
Careful what you're saying

We'll return to the ocean
Ride the tide again
Test the water, jump right in
And try to swim

Let the sun shine in
Admire the holes with shaded eyes

Pick up the pieces and we'll throw them away, throw them away and replace them
Bring on the blues now and we'll chase them away, chase them away, celebration

All that I want is for you to be there when I call
And after all I know you will be there, you'll be there after all

Bring on the band now set them playing away and if they stay, well embrace them
Bring on the people we can dance and we'll play, we can dance the night away, celebration

All that I want is for you to be here when I fall
And after all I know you will be here, you'll be here after all

There's only one thing it can be
There's only one thing it can be
There's only one thing it can be

Our first and last remaining
Took off late Sunday night
And disappeared beyond the places
That city lights touch

And wherever you go
The earth just opens up

We'll never know if the situation
Makes sense at all
The black box has no explanation
There's nothing but white noise

And wherever you go
The earth just opens up

And wherever I go
The earth just opens up

You'll never win your argument
You'll never win your argument
With me

So all concerned were barely conscious
When lights came on
Did we land or were we shot down
Did Jesus or Judas turn up?

And wherever you go
The earth just opens up

And wherever I go
The earth just opens up

You'll never win your argument
You'll never win your argument
You'll never win your argument
You'll never win your argument
With me

Sometimes I feel that something is wrong,
And the same goes for you
Cuz you're not seeing the world at all, are ya?
The same goes for me.

Well this is not the be all and end all for us.
The being and the ending and all the above,
There's more
I used a little,
A little used to be too much for me.

But we're not here to judge you.
We want to be your friend's now.
And we can make you feel like everything that's gone wrong happened for a reason.

Some how I feel like signing up,
And the same goes for you.
Sometimes I your signature's worth nothing at all,
And the same goes for me.

Well this is not the be all and end all for us.
The being and the ending and all the above,
There's more
I used a little,
A little used to be too much for me, for me.

But we're not here to judge you.
We want to be your friends now.
And we can make you feel like everything that's gone wrong happened for a reason.

Well you can come with us now.
There's no need to be scared, be scared, now.

This is not the be all and end all of us, there's more.
This is not the being and ending of us, there's more.
The being and the ending and all the above,
You want more and more and more.
A little never was enough for me for me.

Cuz we're not here to judge you
We want to be your friends now.
And we can make you feel like everything that's gone wrong happened for a reason.

Well you can come with us now.
There's no need to be scared, be scared, now.
And we can make you feel like everything that's gone wrong happened for a reason.
And we can make you feel like everything that's gone wrong happened for a reason.
And we can make you feel like everything that's gone wrong
It happened for a reason.
It happened for a reason.

When you look to the future
Don't forget to write to me
When your love starts to wonder
Don't fret, I broke the seam
Yes the night is so serene
Just add Kerosene

We always felt so good, together
The days just rolled on by
Moon & Sun
We all move on

The nights in the sand dunes
Carefree days and summer sounds
It's the way we built you
That house just won't come down
My faults
My feeble ways
My better days

We tried to hide from failure
The weather
We said we'd never fight
Moon & Sun
What's done is done

Moon & Sun
We all move on

Did you say someday?
Did you say try?
Did you say you love me?
Don't ask why?

'Cause we always felt so good, together
But the days just rolled on by
Moon & Sun
We all move on
We all move on
We all move on
We all move on

Chinese symbols on his robe
Never gonna match up with that smile
He's wearing mostly black and gold
It's been twelve days
The longest for a while

He's been fortunate
He can't tell a lie
Redheads, blondes, brunettes
They all fall for his lines

He's been king now for so long
His days are numbered
Times have changed, so move along
The dream is over

Draped across Egyptian linen
Even Cleopatra casts an eye
A gossamer see-through zipped up tracksuit
Champagne bottle, ten o'clock on fire

He's been fortunate
He cannot deny
Jacuzzi baronet
With soap suds in his eyes

He's been king now for so long
His days are numbered
Times have changed, so move along
The dream is over

He's been king now for so long
His days are numbered
Times have changed, so move along
The dream is over

We've been waiting for so long
We think it's over

Meet, meet me in the city, girl
In the city feels right, girl
We'll get drunk on a fight, girl

Right now, right now, oh no, oh no, no no no

You got me baby,
You got me girl
You got me baby,

Sometimes I think I went out
But then again my my mind changed
Sometimes I think I went out
But then again my my mind changed
Im still begging you babe, begging you babe (yeah)
Im still begging you babe, begging you
Please, please don't leave me right now, girl
Right now, right now, oh no, oh no, no no no

I guess you'll find a reason to walk out on me
I guess in time we'll all return to the scene
Awake the old dog in me.

Our love was blind, a love unpretentious and free
Our love was blind, but now my love's leavin' me
Today or tonight you will see

I've got a hopeless memory
that you'll remember me
do not waste your sympathy
it all runs off of me

Though the wind blows you've drawn its call from my sins
God knows rainbows but you seem only too pale
A little or nothing prevails

I've got a timeless melody
that I sing out of key
do not waste your energy
it all runs off of
Me, and you, and everybody X2

Someday you'll say I wish you were here in my arms
til then I'll pray that you'll submit to my charms
Always keep safe from harm
Always keep safe from harm

I've got a loveless melody
so please remember me
do not waste your sympathy
it all runs off of
Me, and you, and everybody X2

He's fine don't make no sound he's fine
She's fine but in her eyes...
Said to her there's beauty
but all she sees is pain
He's fine don't be unkind he's fine
She's fine but wasting time
Said to her there's beauty
but all she sees is pain
He's fine don't give no sign he's fine
She is fine she is fine she is fine
Said to her there's beauty
but all she sees is pain
Said to her there's beauty in your eyes

Baby, put your hand, you wanna be with someone, can't afford to be
Lay your hand with me, I'm too lazy to put my hand,
I wanna be somewhere, can't afford to stay
Let me drive you away, girl, because
Lately, we're goin' through a run of bad luck
She's goin crazy, she only thinks the worst about us
I said 'Please, please, please chill out,
It ain't exactly easy for me
More than that, it's for you, lay your head, girl
Lately I put my hand, I had to do something I couldn't afford to do
But it's all I love to you, to be lazy

Put your hand, you wanna be somewhere you can't afford to stay
Let me drive you away, because
Lately, we're goin' through a run of bad luck
She's goin crazy, she only thinks the worst about us
I said 'Please, please, please chill out,
It ain't exactly easy for me
More than that, it's for you,

When I look back, how things have changed
With patience, thought and restraint
I never thought it would go

Lay your head with me
Lay your head with me

Ooh, because
Lately, we're goin' through a run of bad luck
She's goin crazy, she only thinks the worst about us
I said 'Please, please, please chill out,
It ain't exactly easy for me
Or in that case, for you,

When I look back, how things have changed
With patience, thought and restraint
I never thought it would go

Lay your head with me

Love is better than a warm trombone,
When goin' south my two-toned brother.
Down on luck by chance,
Carress her head I've had to build a little trance.
With his hands in his pockets he could not find.
With his hands in his pockets he began to cry.
With his hands in his pockets he lowered his eyes.
He said "Miss I ought to, apologise,
I've been falling down."
A river, of your lovelorn souls.
Getting deeper than the deepest damn washing bowl, my brother.
Get the dirt off your hands.
Getting darker than a sun-chased suntan.
With his hands in his pockets he could not find.
With his hands in his pockets he began to cry.
With his hands in his pockets he lowered his eyes.
He said "Miss I ought to, apologise,
I've been falling down."
With his hands in his pockets he began to cry.
With his hands in his pockets he could not lie.
With his hands in his pockets he lowered his eyes.
He said "Miss I ought to, apologise,
I've been falling down."

Goodbye Lauren Lee, my precious Lauren Lee has gone
Gone so far away now, won't be back today or tomorrow
Goodbye Lauren Lee, my precious Lauren Lee has gone out

But is he away with the fairies, is he away with me?
Take him away, it's free, I play anywhere I choose
Did he get into the sequel, how is Leno these days?
Take it away, 'cause I don't care whether we win or lose
Yeah, whether we win or lose

All my chips are down, my precious chips are almost gone
Find a better caller, dealer man without a son
Put it all on one, I feel like number one is on now

But is he away with the fairies, is he away with me?
Take him away, it's free, I play anywhere I choose
Did he get into the sequel, how is Leno these days?
Take it away, 'cause I don't care whether we win or lose

The first words that came could've been more inspired
You must be hungry or tired or frozen
So put up your feet, throw some coal on the fire
And weave us a tale of delight

So we sit in our gun and we wait for our turn
We'll be waiting all of the night
So we sit in our gun and we wait for our turn
We'll be waiting all of our lives

We're all to blame
We hide away
Let's take the sand from this bottomless pit
It's hell to pay
So run away
Destroy on command all who came and then quit

It's been carefully planned by the ones you won't see
Send out the monkeys, they come out of the bushes
To piss in the punch and then smash up the decks
It's your party, we're all obliged

So we sit in our gun and we wait for our turn
I think you hurt him, there's blood on the floor
So we sit in our gun, can I ask what you're on?
If you made it there's hope for us all

We're all to blame
We hide away
Let's take the sand from this bottomless pit
There's hell to pay
So run away
Destroy on command all who came and then quit
You're all the same
So hide away
Let's steal the sand from this bottomless pit

Here comes the breeze, come on blow me up
Plantin the seed, come on sew me up

Reelin', the feelin', making our way through the storm

Gonna get out of here
Send a little message to ya
Gonna get out of here

Here comes the air, come on blow me up
Hottest affair, come on grow me up

Starin at nothing, since I can't make our what it is
Searchin for something, but I just don't know what it is

All we need's a little more to
Send a little message to ya
Gonna get out of here
Send a little message to ya
Gonna get out of here

Well come on in, come on in and lay me down now
And relax, cause the world will collapse with you
Turn your red light into lbue
Why do you keep running around like that?

Sit back, cause this is gonna take a while
There's no shame in going out of style
Why do you keep running around like that?

Send a little message to ya
Gonna get out of here
Send a little message to ya
Gonna get out of here
Send a little message to ya
Gonna get out of here

I love this island but this island's killing me
Sitting here in silence, man I don't get no peace
The waves upon my shore take me away piece by piece
Gonna leave everything I know gonna head out towards the sea
Jump off this island gonna head out towards the sea
I love this city man but this city's killing me
Sitting here in all this noise man I don't get no peace
The cars below my street take me away piece by piece
Gonna leave everything I know gonna head out towards the sea
Gonna leave this city man, gonna head out towards the sea
Get miles away, get miles away, get miles away
Get miles
I love this planet but this planet's killin' me
Sitting here in all this grass man I don't get no weed
The sweat comin' from my pores take me away piece by piece
Gonna leave everything I know gonna head to the galaxy
Gonna leave this planet man, gonna head to the galaxy
Get miles away [repeated]
Get miles

I'm free to run,
I walk slowly, along.
And everyone,
Walkin' slowly, along.
I walk slowly, along
I been walkin far too long,
Drag my feet like everyone.
Always wanted to run away, but
Walk slowly, along.
I feel, so tired.
I want to sit here for a while.
I can't see her,
In your smile,
Come sit here, let's hold
For a while.
I been walkin far too long,
Drag my feet like everyone.
Always wanted to run away, but
Walk slowly, along.

I'm free to run.

I'm free to run.
I'm free to run.
I'm free to run.

Caught a flight, Full of drugs
Shoot straight at a view
Touching down just in time
Crawl straight into you

And before the fallen graces write
And he found the diamonds in disgiuse
I've been wastin' most of my time
But i carry on
Today (what is it?) can only improve with time

When your only a planet down
We'll go out again
And before the fall did nature's right
And we found there ain't no quick for flight

I've been wasting most of my time
And i can get along
Today (where is it?) can only improve with time
Flight

We're nowhere in particular
We're nowhere, nowhere at all
So fill my cup, make me happen
Fill it up, make me smile
Fill my cup, give me a reason
A reason to feel alright

Don't you worry, sweet darling
It's gonna be alright
It seems that I've been sleeping
Been sleeping all my life
Been sleeping all my life
Been sleeping all my life

I sleep alone
On my very own
Sitting sick at home

Baby, up, make me happen
Wake me up, make me fly
Weigh me up, give me the reason
The reason to feel alright

Don't you worry, sweet darling
It's gonna be alright
It seems that I've been sleeping
Been sleeping all my life
Been sleeping all my life

Picking up girls and diseases
That burn me up, burn me up

Been sleeping all my life
Fill my cup, make me happen
Fill my cup, make me smile
