James [UK]

Brave face, and English illusion
Stiff lips soft and creamy inside
I'm hip to your pain and confusion
You can't tell how much suffering
On a face that's always smiling
I swore I would always be with you
But now I'm afraid of your tears
I fear that you might take me with you
You can't tell how much suffering
On a face that's always smiling


I've grinned my way through beatings
I've smiled my way through school
But underneath this grinning
Is the sadness of the fool
No longer know my feelings
Been fooling for too long
Borne of desperation in an effort to look strong
Look strong, look strong
Hey there monkey face you look so strong


That joke could crack you with laughter
Release from the edge of despair
Success is the god that I'm after
In jokes, I'm a millionaire
You can't tell how much suffering
On a face that's always smiling

Withdrawn, muscles all tense
Nothing flows for the self-obsessed
Feel all washed up

Restless, can't sit still
A mental state, or a physical ill
Toxic, bones all cracked
Step on a bus, get a panic attack

Of that you took me so high
Now getting out of bed is enough to make me cry
Saps all my energy
That's how it used to be
You came just in time

Feel all washed up
Need a wash up
Need a wash

Restless, muscles all ache
So tense, watch me shiver as you shake
Not a dance but a scream by the body at the stake
Pierces my heart, something's gonna break

Amazed when you cannot deny
Going out of bed is enough to make you cry
That's how it used to be before you came by

Screwed up at school
Hate bad food
Too many T.V. views live in you (My friend)

Feel all washed up (Need a wash)
Much to take, I'm overcome
So wash me up with a loving song

Why so close

Big boys in black hats
Cowboys with white guns
White guns shoot blue white
Blue white baptism
No buffaloes
No Indians
No more buffaloes

Red sky is falling
Blue blood no stalling
White heat will strip you
No time to run far

(refrain 1)
Ivan's built(got) a wall of lead 'round his house
Nobody can get in or out
Running out of food for ammunition
Frightened of the darkness
Sending out scouts

Why hang the fire so close

Why so close

(refrain 2)
Wayne's got a wall that's much more subtle
Wore headphones since he was born
Watches Ivan through dark glasses
Hand('s) on his gun waiting for the storm

One false move and we all fall down
No funeral games, no such fun
Here's your ticket to the party
That's what you get for playing with a gun

Six-gun so close

(refrain 1)
(refrain 2)

Why stand the fire so close

Why?

This is not
This is not
A song
This is a shield
This is a charm
With your name on

By this beat
By this verse
I'm protected
From your heat
And your curse
Is reflected

If anybody hurts me
If anybody hurts me

Here's a mirror with your name on
Saying we're gonna miss you when you're gone
Here's a mirror with your name on
Saying we're gonna miss you when you're gone

Your green eyes
Poison pen
Serpent's tongue
Will return
To the source
That they came from

Revenge is the wine
Forgiveness is fine
Forgiveness divine
Revenge is more human

Here's a mirror with your name on
Saying we're gonna miss you when you're gone
Here's a mirror with your name on
Saying we're gonna miss you when you're gone

No words, all's been said and done
No more words, all's been said and done

Here's a mirror with your name on
Saying we're gonna miss you when you're gone
Here's a mirror with your name on
Saying we're gonna miss you when you're gone

Here's a mirror with your name on
Saying we're gonna miss you when you're gone

Nobody knows
Nobody knows, angel
Your heart is here
Your heart hurts here
When you want to move
When you get your feeling
I've said nothing you will want to see
It's all this spinning
Oh don't you incite me
Oh don't you explain
There is no meaning here
Just a tension forgetting
You've got infinite patience
and the scent of the sea
Love these days when I'm near you
Watering hole... watering hole
Why did you lie
did you lie to me
Why did you say
those thing you didn't mean
my heart hurts here
what a wonderful feeling
I'd had nothing but rain
We just made a decision
It's pain.. it's pain, it's pain
I've got nothing to hold you
got no chest to contain
your cave full of treasures
Watering hole.. watering hole

Help comes when you need it most
I'm cured for laughter
Mood swings not sure I can cope
My life's in plaster (in plaster)

May your mind set you free
(Opened by the wonderful)
May your heart lead you on
May your mind let you breathe all of disaster
(Opened by the wonderful)
May your heart lead you on

These wounds are all self-imposed
Life's no disaster, disaster
All roads lead unto death-row
Who knows what's after?

May your mind be wide open
May your heart beat strong
May your mind's will be broken
By this heart-felt song
May your mind set you free
(Be opened by the wonderful)
May your heart lead you on
May your mind let you breathe all of disaster
(Be opened by the wonderful)
May your heart lead you on, may your heart lead you on
May your eyes let you see all of disaster
May your heart lead you on, lead you on
(May your eyes be opened by the wonderful)

Set you free
(May your heart lead you on)
Lead you on

there's a knocking at my window
not two for yes, but one for no
some spirit is unsatisfied
from watching her world spin out of control
at night she goes walking around her old home
objecting to how it's all changed
she prefers her arrangements to the ones which we made
walking the ghost
walking the ghost
walkin the ghost

there's baggage on my shoulders
making me stoop, bending my frame
my neck is crooked, lopsided
I will never be tall again

at night she goes walking around her old home
you can feel so much sadness locked up in her bones
I can feel so much sadness locked up in her bones
walking the ghost
walking the ghost
walking the ghost
walking the ghost

I'm sensitive to unkindness
stab in the back, burn in the ribs
I need your fingers to straighten my flesh
I hope your fingers are kind
Hope, fingers
walking the ghost
walking the ghost
walking the ghost
walking the ghost

I can feel someone is with me now,
pulling me on, whispering advice,
poking in my back,
singing prophecies, winged shadows,
words on a breeze
I'm picking up
I'm picking up
I'm picking up your message
and I'm trying to hear with all the noise around here
with all the noise around here
I can't hear any clearer
I can't hear any clearer
I can't hear any clearer
I can't hear any clearer
I can't stop my head from ringing
I can't stop my head from ringing
I can't stop my head from ringing
and there's fingers in my hair
stuck in my back
lifting up my skin
shifting skin, shifting skin
shedding my skin and I'm leaving it behind
I'm leaving it behind
and I'm walking my ghost
I am walking my ghost
my ghost
my ghost
my ghost
my ghost

Drifting through the atmosphere
Through the afterglow
Witnessing one thousand lies
I'll blow, where the wind blows

Falling in between the lines
Never fitting in
Someone tells me what's my crime
Too thin
I'm too thin

Due to come back down due to come back down
Don't wanna, don't wanna land
Due to come back down, due to come back down
I don't wanna, don't wanna land
Don't wanna, don't wanna, land
Land
Land

This time I've a staring role
Hide the shape I'm in
I'm too old to sacrifice for gold, and skin
For gold
And skin
For gold
For gold

I don't want to come back down, don't want to land
Down, don't want to come down, down don't want to land
Down, don't want to come down, down don't want to land
Down, don't want to come down, down don't want to land

Drifting through the atmosphere
Floating through this land
Sifting through one thousand years
Of sand
All sand

Drifting through the atmosphere
Floating through this land
Sifting through one thousand years
Of sand
All sand

Drifting through the atmosphere
Floating through this land
Sifting through one thousand years
Of sand
All sand

Drifting through the atmosphere

The view from here's breathtaking
My visions all surrounding.
The humans look like insects.
There is only one way down.
But it's cold and lonely in this stratosphere
Gliding through the darkness.
Where is my craft leading to
Am I damned or blessed?
Don't let go on top of the world.
Don't let go on top of the world.
Will my good friends desert me
Or will they prove themselves?
Are my demands all greedy
Or are they what I need?
If I will not be faithful
I must accept betrayal.
When your turn comes to leave me
Will my free ways have failed?
Don't let go on top of the world.
Don't let go on top of the world.
I'll meet you inside this hollow world
I'll meet you inside
Hollow world, hollow world
It's a long way down
It's a long way down
And I'm so cold

I see you falling
How long to go before you hit the ground
You keep on screaming
Don't you see me here
Am I a ghost to you

Now your grip's too strong
You can't catch love with a net or a gun
Gotta keep faith that your path will change
Gotta keep faith that your luck will change tomorrow
Tomorrow

Why are you phoning
What am I to do when you're miles away
You're always calling from the darkest moods and we're both scared

Now your grip's too strong
You can't catch love with a net or a gun
Gotta keep faith that your path will change
Gotta keep faith that your love will change

Now your grip's too strong
Can't catch love with a net or a gun
Gotta keep faith that your path will change
Gotta keep faith that your love will change tomorrow

I'm just out of your range
Tomorrow
All your suffering's in vain
Tomorrow

Now your grip's too strong
You can't catch love with a net or a gun
Gotta keep faith that your path will change
Gotta keep faith that your love will change tomorrow

I got out of your range
Tomorrow
All your suffering seems vain
Change tomorrow
Some forgiveness now
Tomorrow
Love's no sacred cow

I hold a vision that all visions are impure
The rising of the serpent The apple and the fall.
Don't trust the angels .May be devils in disguise
Don't trust the preacher. All his words don't make him wise
There are no promises that anyone can keep
The future's full of secrets
The past can never keep

Yes I know, I'm falling down
This incline is far too steep
Tell when I hit the ground
You're too high for me to reach

We can weather unchartered oceans
Though the map reads,"; lost at sea ";
When we breakthrough or get broken
Will you stand here close to me
Close to me

You are the universe and god knows I'm the fool
I've journeyed round the outer worlds to return home to you
I've found a lover knows me better than myself
Sees through all my subtle lies and touches me to health

We can weather unchartered oceans
Though the map reads lost at sea
When we breakthrough or get broken
Will you stand here close to me
Close to me

Here come the choices
It's consume or be consumed
Jump if you feel crazy
And jump if you're a fool

He said I must be dreaming

But I thought I heard the sound

The sound that lovers make

As they drop down from the window

Quiet as cats, across the courtyard

Moving from shadow to shadow

Past the guards to the forest

So quiet in her still reflection

Drawing them down, drawing them down to the lake

To the centre of her attention



Steal the moon tonight

Before the morning

Steal the moon tonight

I just love a good mystery



And on the West Bank a boat is being pulled

Across the sands they move so softly

Slip into water

Oars dip, don't break the moon's reflection

And drift like a cloud

To the centre

Beneath her cool attention



Still water

Still water



Steal the moon tonight

Before the morning

Steal the moon tonight



I want to drown in your moon dream

I've seen you rising from shore to shore

I want to drown in your moon dream

I've seen you rising



Steal the moon tonight

Shine

Shine

Shine

So you thought we were over
Surprise, surprise
We're not going anywhere

So fell on your sword again
Tell me what the views like
Deep down in your carpet

You were straight, you were straight now you're twisted
You're right, you're right
Burn the joint to leave the waking

(Hello, surprise)
Don't you turn, turn out your light
(Hello, surprise)
Surprise, Surprise

(Hello, surprise)
Don't you turn your day into night
(Hello, surprise)
Surprise, Surprise

We all prayed, we all prayed you'd rise again
From the hard shoulder
What the doctor ordered

Gotta fix, gotta fix what's not broken
All broke, all broke, I'm busted
Hey twenty one and overs

(Hello, surprise)
Don't you turn, turn out your light
(Hello, surprise)
Surprise, Surprise

(Hello, surprise)
Don't you turn, your day into night
(Hello, surprise)
Surprise, Surprise
Still not satisfied
Still not satisfied
Still not satisfied
Still not satisfied

Falling backwards into darkness
Loving, reckless, hiding distress
I've got a message for you
You're the one who makes it come true

(Hello, surprise)
Don't you turn, turn out your light
(Hello, surprise)
Surprise, Surprise

(Hello, surprise)
Don't you turn, your day into night
(Hello, surprise)
Surprise, Surprise
Still not satisfied
(Hello, surprise)
Still not satisfied
Still not satisfied
(Hello, surprise)
Still not satisfied
Still not satisfied
Still not satisfied
Still not satisfied
Still not satisfied

Sunday morning
Brings the dawn in
It's just a restless feeling by my side
Early dawning
Sunday morning
It's just the wasted years so close behind
Watch out the world's behind you
There's always someone around you who will call
It's nothing at all

Sunday morning
And I'm falling
I've got a feeling I don't want to know
Early dawning
Sunday morning
It's all the streets you crossed, not so long ago
Watch out the world's behind you
There's always someone around you who will call
It's nothing at all

Sunday morning
Sunday morning
Sunday morning

Down the chute and out the door
I know that I've been here before
The blinding lights, the long white coat
Cut the cord before I choke

Oh, please sir, handle me gently
I've got nothing to protect me

This man in a mask stabbed me in the back
No sooner alive than I'm being attacked
If this is the planet Earth
Oh please, mom, take me back in your sack

My keepers aren't too bad this time
The man's quiet, the woman's crying
When I arrive, what's hers is mine
I take and take it all the time

Oh please sir, do not tempt me
Those sweet things, they just destroy me

I always want more than I can get
My belly's full, but I'm not done yet
Need something to kill
The word is you….mine

It's true, it's true, it's true
You taught us how to be the same as you
If only you really knew
We wouldn't do what you do
It's true

As you poison the Earth you poison our lives
This isn't living, but another disguise
Go looking for truth
As all of this is built on lies and lies etc.

Hey, hey, hey now you've found me
Everything's so clear

With your arms around and your song in my heart
There's simply nothing I can fear
Feel he inside burst through my head
Replacing my eyes

Please don't let me hide
Cut through my head
Replacing my eyes

Found a message in the sand
It read 'just do the best you can'
This world's not how I planned
You're on your own

No one can hear you
They're just talking all the time
There's the world and you're outside
Your home's hard to find
Your home's hard to find

Worn down by strangers
All you need's a friend
You've been worn down by strangers
This is not the end

Guess it's hard to settle down
When love's been spread all around the town
I'm no stranger to this room
My highs just serve to bring me down
I hope to change now
From a sorry state of mind.
I had hoped for heart to heart
My heart's hard to find
My heart's hard to find

Worn down by strangers
All you need's a friend
You've been worn down by strangers
This is not the end
(This is not the end)

Worn down by strangers
All you need's a friend
You've been worn down by strangers
All you need's a friend
By strangers
by strangers
by strangers

(This is not the end)
(this is not the end)
This is the end.

Falling, falling into you,

Falling, no parachute,



You lost all self-control,

We don't know,

Which way you might go,

I found a map you left,

No use,

Can't tell east from west.



Heading out on this mercy trail,

You look so strong,

Feel so frail,

Need a friend in this barren land,

All your approaches have failed,

Hope you come through.



Falling, falling into you,

Falling, no parachute,



Are you receiving me,

Read my lips,

A foreign language,

I'm not deceiving you,

Take my hand,

It's a bridge.



Heading out on this mercy trail,

You look so strong,

Feel so frail,

See the world through a preachers eyes,

Now all of your preaching has failed,

Hope you come through

Lost my house, lost my love
Swept away in a raging flood
I... I'm still alive

I believe God is testing me,
But I can't take what the Lord decrees
I... I'm still alive

On a Monday life was swell,
By Wednesday I'm in Hell
But I'm still alive

Bankers came to move me on
So strapped for cash, I had to sell this song
I... I'm still alive

Doctor told me I've a terrible disease
The dog's run off and the cat's got fleas
I... I'm still alive

On a Monday life was swell
By Wednesday I'm in Hell
But I'm still alive

By the Thursday life was sad
By Good Friday life's too bad
But I'm still alive

Out the window, four vultures on a tree
Licking their beaks and they're talking about me
I... I'm still alive

Break my shape - in light I trust
None exist - save space and dust
None exist - just lights in time
Space divides the borderline

Don't exist just lights in time
Space divides the changing line
Space between and space inside
My four walls my shape defines
Space defines

You'd better get over yourself
You gotta get out of the frame
Gotta learn to see yourself
A total stranger
You gotta get out of the frame
Gotta give yourself a brand new name
Gotta learn to see yourself
A total stranger

It's a shock to my system
To wind up back where I have come from
It's a crime in my child's eyes
To find out life is in disguise

You'd better get over yourself
You gotta get out of the frame
Gotta learn to see yourself a total stranger
You gotta get out of the frame
Gotta give yourself a brand new name
Gotta learn to see yourself
A total stranger

It's a shock to my system,
to wind up back,
where I have come from.
It's a crime ,in my child's eyes,
To find out life,
Is in disguise

It's a shock to my system,
To wind up back, where I have come from
It's a crime,
to my child's eyes,
To find lifes' In disguise
Oh no , it's gone
It's gone, nothing to hold me
Oh no , it's gone it's gone
Nothing to hold me

Calling ,calling, calling you to see through me

Hey
Your father sins
Your mothers mood swings
To perfection
Fall into a spin
Shed another skin
Strip away all of your protection
Laugh at the wonder of it all
But not so loud you break the fall
And you see the gathering clouds
Cry at the sadness of the world
Cry so long you break it's hold
And you hear the gathering sound

Mother oooooooooo
Mother oooooooooo
oo ooo
woooooo woooooo

Do everything you fear
In this there is power
Fear is not to be afraid of
Laugh of the wonder of it all
Laugh so loud you break your fall
And you hear the gathering sounds

Mother oooooooooo
Mother oooooooooo
oo ooo
woooooo woooooo
woooooo woooooo

Come, tip on in
Leave your skin
Leave your heart
Leave your craft
Leave your suffering heart
Come, dip on in
Leave your fears
Leave your skin
Leave your past
Leave your suffering heart

woooooo

Come on, somebody do something out of character
Live too primative
Aliens eggs
Leave it all behind
Somebody break away from your things

There's a storm outside, and the gap between crack and thunder
Crack and thunder, is closing in, is closing in
The rain floods gutters, and makes a great sound on the concrete
On a flat roof, there's a boy leaning against the wall of rain
Aerial held high, calling

There's a storm outside, and the gap between crack and thunder
Crack and thunder, is closing in, is closing in
The rain floods gutters, and makes a great sound on the concrete
On a flat roof, there's a boy leaning against the wall of rain
Aerial held high, calling

Someone's got it in for me
I don't want your sympathy
Life just never turned out how I wanted it to

Could have been a shooting star
Should have made it past the bar
Would have been a winner if I'd ever got that far

What a state I'm in
My self pitying
Here's another victim
Singing suffering

If only I had made the grade
Been more loved
Been less afraid
If only I had scored the goal
Got the girl
Or even played

What a state I'm in
My self pitying
Here's another victim
Singing suffering

Fall
Let it fall away
Then rise
To be born again
Then fall
Let it fall away
Then rise
To be born again

My life's turned to minor chords
Loser sad
And life's a bore
Can't see the point of living
In this fashion anymore

What a state I'm in
My self pitying
Here's another victim
Selling suffering

Fall
Let it fall away
Then rise
To be born again
Then fall
Let it fall away
Then rise
To be born again

There are so many colourful rays
How are you going to choose one
Bright lights look all right from here
But seduction has to be wrong

(refrain)
So many ways

I don't know which path you're taking, if it's bent or straight
All I know is I've found something that will take me home again

So many ways

If you keep your wits about you, search with an open heart
You'll be sure to find your answers, penetrate the scream in the ???

So many ways

Lost and if you are looking for foot's path
Floating free in space
There are all these lights coming out the dark
Do they lead to the same place

So many ways

An earwig crawled into my ear
Made a meal of the wax and hairs
Phoned friends, had an insect party
But all I could hear was the bass drum drum
All I could hear was the bass drum drum

Now if you put your ear close you'll be able to hear
Not the sea shore noise of the shore sea shell
The clatter of plates
And the bronze of the bell
Going ding dong, ding dong, ding dong dong

Going out of my mind as they hollow my head
I'm floating in the air, but my body's in bed
The more they eat, the more I see
What is not, but just could be
You can hear them laughing in my head
You can hear them laughing in my head
Ha ha ha ha ha

Now they've eaten my memory, I can't recall
How the world used to be before
So a vision is the same as what is real
Depends upon the lighting, and how I feel
Ding dong, drum drum, ha ha ha ha ha

And then the music stopped
The musician went away
They'd eaten all my brain
The red and the gray

They all stack at home
Dug a tongue through my nose
Where my brain used to be
Now there's only a hole

Put your hand inside this dream
Tip the scale, release this dream
Going down on a rolling wave
I'll pack the flag before I hit the ground

I can hear your thoughts arise
>From these depths to creamy skies
Driftin round, the waters cool
Let the waves cover you

The surface storm shows nothing free
The surface is calm the water is clear
The water's clear

I'll sing myself to sleep
A song from the darkest hour
Secrets I can't keep
Inside of the day
Swing from high to deep
Extremes of sweet and sour
Hope that God exists
I hope I pray


Drawn by the undertow
My life is out of control
I believe this wave will bear my weight
So let it flow


Oh sit down
Sit down next to me
Sit down, down, down, down, down
In sympathy


Now I'm relieved to hear
That you've been to some far out places
It's hard to carry on
When you feel all alone
Now I've swung back down again
It's worse than it was before
If I hadn't seen such riches
I could live with being poor
Oh sit down
Sit down next to me
Sit down, down, down, down, down
In sympathy


Those who feel the breath of sadness
Sit down next to me
Those who find they're touched by madness
Sit down next to me
Those who find themselves ridiculous
Sit down next to me
Love, in fear, in hate, in tears


Down
Down


Oh sit down
Sit down next to me
Sit down, down, down, down, down
In sympathy


Oh sit down
Sit down next to me
Sit down, down, down, down, down
In sympathy


Down

I'll sing myself to sleep
A song from the darkest hour
Secrets I can't keep
Inside of the day
Swing from high to deep
Extremes of sweet and sour
Hope that God exists
I hope I pray


Drawn by the undertow
My life is out of control
I believe this wave will bear my weight
So let it flow


Oh sit down
Sit down next to me
Sit down, down, down, down, down
In sympathy


Now I'm relieved to hear
That you've been to some far out places
It's hard to carry on
When you feel all alone
Now I've swung back down again
It's worse than it was before
If I hadn't seen such riches
I could live with being poor
Oh sit down
Sit down next to me
Sit down, down, down, down, down
In sympathy


Those who feel the breath of sadness
Sit down next to me
Those who find they're touched by madness
Sit down next to me
Those who find themselves ridiculous
Sit down next to me
Love, in fear, in hate, in tears


Down
Down


Oh sit down
Sit down next to me
Sit down, down, down, down, down
In sympathy


Oh sit down
Sit down next to me
Sit down, down, down, down, down
In sympathy


Down

Whenever she's feeling empty
Whenever she's feeling insecure
Whenever her face is frozen
Unable to fake it anymore

Her shadow is always with her
Her shadow could always keep her small
So frightened that he won't love her
She builds up a wall

Oh no, she knows where to hide in the dark
Oh no, she's nowhere to hide in the dark
She's a star
She's a star

She's been in disguise forever
She's tried to disguise her stellar views
Much brighter than all this static
Now she's coming through

Oh no, she knows where to hide in the dark
Oh no, she's nowhere to hide in the dark
She's a star
She's a star

Don't tell her to turn down
Put on your shades if you can't see
Don't tell her to turn down
Turn up the flame
She's a star
She's a star

It's a long road
It's a great cause
It's a long road
Its a good call

You got it
You got it
She's a Star

Blow me away
Was that love you declared
Only a word love can mean anything
Understand the world we're livin in

Oceans apart
What's that view from your way
Beautiful craft
Weather can change
Understand the world were living in
Love can mean anything

God made love to me
Soothed away my gravity
Gave me a pair of angels wing
Clear vision and some magic things

God is love love to me
Thank you for those things
Understand the world were living in
Love can mean anything

Darling I'm open
And darling I'm broken
Now we don't have time
Let you drift away
Like a heavy cloud
With the weight of rain
Understand the world were living in
Love can mean anything

Understand the world were living in
Love can mean anything
Understand the world were living in
Love can mean anything
Understand the world were living in
Love can change anything

I've been shot
In the wherewithalls
And I don't think I can stop
From all this hullabaloo

Mary jane's
On the game again
Seratonin's all I use
I just wish it were true

Don't treat me like a God
Treat me like a dog
I'll come home to you
To you

I'm addicted to you
You're my love my senorita
I'm addicted to you
Hope were gonna pull through
I'm addicted to you
You're the love that makes me younger
I'm addicted to you
Hope were gonna pull through
Pull through

Sing a prayer
Lonely nights are here
If I can't square my fears
With what I want to do

Don't treat me like a God
Treat me like a dog
I'll be good to you
To you

I'm addicted to you
You're my love my senorita
I'm addicted to you
Hope were gonna pull through
I'm addicted to you
You're the God that makes me stronger
I'm addicted to you
Hope were gonna turn blue
Turn blue

Which scarecrow has the power of voice
It will stab you in the thigh
And when she wails, it twists your insides

Wise scarecrow
Which scarecrow
Which scarecrow

A pitch for which she has been searching
Holds the key to the dreams she's been dreaming

(refrain)
Coming on, coming on, coming on
She's coming on strong
She's coming on coming on coming on coming on
Coming on strong

Droll,
Try to mix her ego with her soul
Never mix the ego with the soul
I always twist my ego with my soul

Which scarecrow
Wise scarecrow
Which scarecrow

And 'cause you was her inspiration
Got a plan that could shatter a nation

(refrain)
When your song strikes me
My walls fall down
And I can sit down
In your perfect light and sound

You're as tight as a hunter's trap
Hidden well, what are you concealing
Poker face, carved in stone
Amongst friends, but all alone
Why do you hide

Say something, say something, anything
I've shown you everything
Give me a sign
Say something, say something, anything
Your silence is deafening
Pay me in kind

Take a drug to set you free
Strange fruit from a forbidden tree
You've got to come down soon
More than a drug is what I need
Need a change of scenery
Need a new life

Say something, say something anything
I've shown you everything
Give me a sign
Say something, say something, anything
Your silence is deafening
Pay me in kind

Say something

I'm open wide, open wondering
Have you swallowed everything
Pay me in kind

You're as tight as a hunter's trap
Hidden well, what are you concealing
Poker face, carved in stone
Amongst friends, but all alone
Why do you hide

Say something, say something, anything
I've shown you everything
Give me a sign
Say something, say something, anything
Your silence is deafening
Pay me in kind

Take a drug to set you free
Strange fruit from a forbidden tree
You've got to come down soon
More than a drug is what I need
Need a change of scenery
Need a new life

Say something, say something anything
I've shown you everything
Give me a sign
Say something, say something, anything
Your silence is deafening
Pay me in kind

Say something

I'm open wide, open wondering
Have you swallowed everything
Pay me in kind

Ring the bells
Wake the town
Everyone is sleeping
Shout at the crowd
Wake them up
This angers deeper than sleep.

Got to keep awake to what is happening.
I can't see a thing through my ambitions,
I no longer feel like God is watching over me
Got to tell the world we've all been dreaming
This is not the end, a new beginning
I no longer feel my God is watching over me.

Break the code.
Concentrate.
Let the doors swing open
See through all your walls
All your floors
Now you're in deeper than sleep

Got to keep awake to what is happening.
I can't see a thing through my ambitions,
I no longer feel like God is watching over me
Got to tell the world we've all been dreaming
This is not the end, a new beginning
I no longer feel my God is watching over me.

When you let me fall
Grew my own wings
Now I'm as tall as the sky
When you let me drown
Grew gills and fins
Now I'm as deep as the sea
When you let me die
My spirit's free
There's nothing challenging me.

To be loving when the knives are out
Takes much courage and a mind without doubt
I'm just some robot, wind up the clockwork jerk
Trying to impress is the nature of my work

And it's so hard to remain open
If it's true, it can't be spoken

Really hard
Really hard

Rhetoriticians think they're running this show
Words as power is all they'll ever know
I'm just some reflex, when struck, the knee will jerk
Trying to impress is the nature of our work

And it's so hard to remain open
If you bend, you won't get broken

Really hard
Really hard

Wake up from this dreaming state
A long scream out, it's not too late
I am dying to begin
I am dying to begin again

Really hard
Really hard

Oh dear what can the matter be?
Princess dreamin?again
Fearful live life more easily
Darkness leave her in peace

Always wanting help
Will make you weak
No such place as hell
But in your dreams
Climb out of your well
Protect me
Protect me

Angel what is possessing me
Feelings loosing my mind
Falling under your spell again
Wondering what was my crime

{Estribillo}

Here they come again
Here they come again
Here they come again
Here they come again

Price of loving life
Is not so steep
Climb out of your well
It's not so deep
No such place as hell
Protect me

Protect meeee
Protect me

Oh dear what can the matter be?
Princess dreamin?again
Fearful live life more easily
Darkness leave her in peace

Always wanting help

No such place as hell
But in your dreams
Climb out of your well
Protect me

Angel what is possessing me
Feelings loosing my mind

Wondering what was my crime

{Estribillo}

I'm in a deep depression
Face of self-control
Shown to the world of confident
Pray your fears won't show
Cry

Break your first impressions
Recreate your will
Love's at the heart of everything
Let love be your goal

Cry

My whole world
Breaking down
The pressure's on
The pressures' on
This whole way’s
Falling down
The pressure's on
The pressure's on
The pressure's on

Cry
Cry

Scared to be alone
Frightened of the dark
Everything's too much
For a boy out of touch with his feelings

I must be to blame
I must be at fault
I believe I'm never good enough
To shine a light that lingers

I have witnessed starbursts in your coal
black eyes
I am what I try to deny
I have seen the serpent coiling set to strike
And love is the usual disguise

Pleased to meet you
Where you from
And what's your name?

Never came alive
Never cut the cord
Nothing is too much for a boy out of touch
With his feelings

Worshipping the moonshine
Skinning up the grapevine
I don't have a plan where I'm going
I just follow my fingers

I will be the burning man
To grace these times
I am what I try to deny
I reflect the same eyes looking back at me
And love is the only reply

Pleased to meet you
Where you from and what's your name

We're more than enough
Dead Ringers

Pleased to meet you
Where you from
And what's your name ?
What's your name ?

[Music depresses me]
Help's on it's way, I'm lost in space
No protection
Please come and rescue me
I've got no friends, an orphan
Who had faith, who betrayed
Took only a kiss to give me away
Who had faith, who betrayed
Took only a kiss
To blow you away

All in my head
I'll play dead, if you want me to
if you want me all in my head
i'll play dead, if you want me to
if you want me

Who had faith, who betrayed
Took only a kiss to give me away
Who had faith, who betrayed
Took only a kiss
to blow you away

All in my head
I'll play dead, if you want me to
if you want me all in my head
i'll play dead, if you want me to
if you want me

You're a weapon of devotion
Keep the faithful until you are teamed
Yo're a lover of attention
Found a way to pawn your soul
This position may be fetching
But the world moves on and leaves you far behind

I hear you
I hear you
Wispering such gorgeous stories
I see you
I see you
Trying to break free
You liar
You liar
You can live the dreams your spinning
You liar
Love to be decieved

You're falling
You're falling
Falling from your God like distance
You're fashion, just fashion
Fashion doesn't keep
You're sour
So sour
All this hope and trust is misplaced
You're sour
And now you are alone

Walking on fire
Feel the way the world is inclining
Walking on fire
Pay to decieve
Walking on fire
Now the world will keep it's distance
Walking on fire
you rather than me
Walking on fire

My son says
Dear father, what did you do when the world turned over
Keep spinning
Keep spinning, send us off to sleep
All your words are jsut dust and moonshine
You liar
Love to be decieved
Walking on fire
Found a house away from humans
Walking on fire
Pay to decieve
Walking on fire
Now the world will keep it's distance
Walking on fire
You rather than me

I'm so alone tonight,
my bed feels larger than when I was small,
lost in memories,
lost in all the sheets and old pillows,
I'm so alone tonight,
miss you more than I could let you know,
miss the outline of your back,
miss you breathing down my neck,

oh, they're all out to get you,
once again, they're all out to get you,
once again..

Insecure, whatcha gonna do?
feel so small they could step on you,
called you up, answering machine
when the human touch is what I need, what I need
is you. I need you.

looked in the mirror,
I don't know who I am anymore
the face is familiar but the eyes,
the eyes give it all away..

here they come again, here they come again, here they come
again.. they're all out to get you, once again
they're all out to get you.. once again

Three
You were one, one of the three
One in three must find some peace
You were one, one of the three
I need proof before belief
Oh, well, you just knew they'd come for you
So it was suicide, suicide
Oh, well, now you got just what you want
I hope you're satisfied

One of the three, one of the three, one of the three, one of the three
You were one, one of the three
One in three must find some peace
You were one, one of the three
I need proof before belief
Oh, well, I guess you're not to blame for what they've
Done in your name, in your name
Oh, well, it's a shame you got so famous for a sacrifice

One of the three, one of the three, one of the three, one of the three
One of the three, one of the three, one of the three, one of the three
You were one, one of the three
One in three must find some peace
You were one, one of the three
I need proof before belief

You sent forth your lamb to the slaughter
You sent forth your lamb to the slaughter
You sent forth your lamb to the slaughter
You sent forth your lamb to the slaughter

Who are you dreamin' of now
Is she flesh real
Or is she part of 'dem memories

Who are you dreamin' of now
Is she flesh real
Or bloodless fantasy
from a film heroine

There goes inocence fadin' away
Here comes bitterness after youpay
For believin in stories man made
Yes we all want to be your next lover
But we're scared so we're runnin you down
Yes we all want to be your next lover
But your beauty is too far above ground
>From a film heroine

We will laugh at the worst of your jokes
Steal a kiss if we can
Buy you gifts and flowers
Every move is a plan
You can measure this man
By the depth of his laugh
You can measure this man

Yes we all want to be your next lover
Yes we all want to be your next lover

We are driven you can't feel
Are we stealin' or are we the steal?
So we lie like a priest
To slide under and into and inside
love is creul but looks seldom kind

Yes we all want to be your next lover
Yes we all want to be your next lover

I can lie like the best of them
Wait with the patience of man
Seems so understand it
While I'm makin' my plans
I'm so full of desire
I've frogotten your name
I'm so full of desire
I could burst into flames
I'm so full of desire
I can hope to control
This desires that's closer to pain
River runs where all rivers go
This desire will not be contained

Yes we all want to be your next lover
Yes we all want to be your next lover
Lover...

I love her
Lover

Who are you thinkin of now
Is she flesh real
Or part of them memories

This war's a mother fucker
How many sons will will we kill today
On poors little brother
Tell me what the newsline from the ground

Your love is a killer
Killing all this love in me
We are so full of terror
Viscious kiss, your love is longing deep

Love love love wont starve
You don't
Love love love

Where the anger is hot
Where opinion is deep
Understanding is shot
Is dead, is dead, is dead
Where the linen is cheap
Where the weapons are not
Where all the mothers will be
Is dead, is dead, is dead
Will strike you down

Love love love
Will strike you down
Love love love

We're prone to a torture
I can't take it anymore
On poors little mother
Tell me what the newsline from the ground

Love love love
Love will strike you down
Love love will strike us down

There’s a Malayan stripper of sex unknown
Some Siamese twins from a broken home
Maria’s party, what a show going down
Maria loves her life, but she’ll show you how
There’s a strong man tearing himself into pieces
A magician who will spin you on the end of his spinderly fingers
There’s a show going on
Maria loves her life, she’ll show you how, how, how

There’s a high wire act on the telephone wire
And another Buddhist monk has set himself on fire
There’s a fakir outside being buried alive
Maria’s mad aunt has yet to arrive
A dahlia that dances, and a frog with wings,
A bear in a tutu that just loves to sing, karaoke

Maria loves her life, and that’s all, and that’s all, and that’s all.
La La La La La La La etc.
You will love her forever when the scene hits your town
La La La La La La La etc.
You will love her forever
You will all love her forever
Maria’s Party
And that’s all.

Since your mother cast her spell
Every kiss has left a bruise
You've been reading too much meaning from existence
Now your head is used and sore
And the forecast is for more
Memories falling, like falling rain
Falling rain

Every view they hold on you's
A piano, out of tune
You're an angel
You're a demon
You're just human
Now your world has turned to trash
Broken windows on the past
Take that child and teach him senseless
Damage the dream, damage the dream
I feel nothing, I feel nothing at all
I feel nothing at all

In this gloomy, haunted place
All the feelings are of shame
All the windows have been broken by the children
So the wind screams up the stairs
Slams doors and rattles chairs
I wish we weren't conceived in violence
Damage the dream, damage the dream
The magic is broken
The house is in ruins
Your memory's one-sided
The side that you're choosing feels nothing
Feels nothing at all
We feel nothing at all

I'm a member of an ape-like race
At the asshole end of the twentieth century
This film's a thriller of the mind
Will we destroy our homes, release ourselves from the
Weights of gravity
I'll be amazed if we survive

Low low low

This race to space
We'll learn to release ourselves from the weights of gravity
Our highs are higher than our lows
This world's a state of mind
I can hear your thoughts much too clearly
From slime to ape, we'll learn to fly

Low low low

Oh, we're so powerful
Watch these giants collide
So individual, will we ever find peace of mind

Low low low

My t.v. is staring at me
it says "go to sleep
go to sleep"
Turns me into a siamese twin
where do i start?
the Tv screen begins...
Plugs me into some holy geek
his point in life is incomplete
My Tv is telling me
that only money will make me happy
hold the course and then sail

Across the sattelite beams
across the oceans and seas
to the lighthouse I could be
I see some soldiers with guns
and they are killing for fun
they are killing to entertain me

Caught between that world and this
I'd sell my soul for a bond girl's kiss
Caught between that world and this
I'd sell my soul for a state of bliss

My tv is telling me
that all our money
goes into the military

hold the course and then sail

Across the sattelite beams
across the oceans or seas
to the lighthouse I could be
I see some soldiers with guns
and they are killing for fun
they are killing to entertain me
and then I heard your name
as the spaceman came
he came right thru my screen
and then his lifeline broke
he began to choke
jump cut to another scene

Lost a Friend to the Sea
I lost a friend to the sea

Where is the love
Where is the love
Where is the love
That everyone is talking of
Where is the love
Where is the love
That everyone is dreaming of


Come to bed
Come to bed
Come to bed
I cannot sleep in all this heat
Come to bed
Come to bed
This terror's all within my head


Don't be deceived, no land in sight
We're all adrift in this dark night
We float on seas of disbelief
While singing songs of pain relief


Shake my body - release my soul
Punish my senses - lose control
This body's young but my spirit's old
Scatter my ashes and let my feelings go


Where is the love
Where is the love
Where is the love
That everyone is talking of
Where is the love
Where is the love
That everyone is dreaming of


Don't be deceived, no land in sight
We're all adrift in this dark night
We float on seas of disbelief
While singing songs of pain relief


Shake my body - release my soul
Punish my senses - lose control
This body's young but my spirit's old
Scatter my ashes and let my feelings go


Shake my body - release my soul
Punish my senses - lose control

Where is the love
Where is the love
Where is the love
That everyone is talking of
Where is the love
Where is the love
That everyone is dreaming of


Come to bed
Come to bed
Come to bed
I cannot sleep in all this heat
Come to bed
Come to bed
This terror's all within my head


Don't be deceived, no land in sight
We're all adrift in this dark night
We float on seas of disbelief
While singing songs of pain relief


Shake my body - release my soul
Punish my senses - lose control
This body's young but my spirit's old
Scatter my ashes and let my feelings go


Where is the love
Where is the love
Where is the love
That everyone is talking of
Where is the love
Where is the love
That everyone is dreaming of


Don't be deceived, no land in sight
We're all adrift in this dark night
We float on seas of disbelief
While singing songs of pain relief


Shake my body - release my soul
Punish my senses - lose control
This body's young but my spirit's old
Scatter my ashes and let my feelings go


Shake my body - release my soul
Punish my senses - lose control

I don't believe Jesus was a human being
I've never met a propheit who's sheets are clean
Only in a film could he be so cool
But only in life could fathers be so cruel

What in the world are you dreamin' of
To sacrafice the son you love
You send your children off to war
As if you care!
As if you care!

To live the love of life
To live your love of life
To live your love of life
Your love of life
Your love of life

Draft it, hop in, sacrafice for common good
What we want
Sucks it out
With what we sould
All of these commercials are jsut teasing me
Everybody's restless with a deeper mean
Open your eyes and what do you see?
The system to crush enemies
A savior nailed to every tree
As if you care
As if you care
The propheit said
The propheit said

To live the love of life
To live your love of life
To live your love of life
Your love of life
Your love of life

Where's your love of life

The propheit said
The propheit said

Where's your love of life
Show me your love of life
Show me your love of life

To sacrafice the son you love
You send your children off to war
As if you care
As if you care

Pray down in your home
Pray down in your home
Smile in your home
Lay down and in your home
Lay down in your home
Smile
Lay the law down in your home
Lay the law down in your home

This bed is on fire with passionate love
The neighbors complain about the noises above
But she only comes when she's on top

The therapist said not to see you no more
She said you're like a disease without any cure
She said I'm so obsessed that I'm becoming a bore

Ah you think you're so pretty

Caught your hand inside the till
Slammed your fingers in the door
Fought with kitchen knives and skewers
Dressed me up in womens clothes
Messed around with gender roles
Line my eyes and call me pretty

Moved out of the house so you moved next door
I locked you out you cut a hole in the wall
I found you sleeping next to me I thought I was alone
You're driving me crazy when are you coming home

Laid
Laid

This bed is on fire with passionate love
The neighbors complain about the noises above
But she only comes when she's on top

The therapist said not to see you no more
She said you're like a disease without any cure
She said I'm so obsessed that I'm becoming a bore

Ah you think you're so pretty

Caught your hand inside the till
Slammed your fingers in the door
Fought with kitchen knives and skewers
Dressed me up in womens clothes
Messed around with gender roles
Line my eyes and call me pretty

Moved out of the house so you moved next door
I locked you out you cut a hole in the wall
I found you sleeping next to me I thought I was alone
You're driving me crazy when are you coming home

Laid
Laid

Slow down, my brother, your life is passing fast
Will you remember all these scenes that you've passed
So long, so long

Speeding past sunset, blurring from town to town
Faces I forget, hotels all look the same
Worn down the knuckle too far
So long, so long

Lost are your colors, now life's in black and white
Steals from a movie, this life's a trick of the light
Worn down the knuckle too far
Worn down

City of strangers, you seem so tired to me
Don't think I'll stay here, you don't seem friendly
I'll keep on moving, searching for peace of mind
Rivers unwinding maybe I'll find it this time
So long, so long
So long

Live from my suitcase, my life's within my hands
Sleep in a strange bed, hometown's a foreign land
Down, the knuckle too far

Doctor,
What is happening to me?
Palpitations
My mind's diseased
Even my vision is impaired
I'm losing my hair
Cos when i hold her in my arms
I feel like fred astaire

Lovesick
My temperature's high
Just met a girl
Who believes we can fly
I'm a millionaire
And when i hold her in my arms
I feel like fred astaire

I believe in happiness
I believe in love
I believe she fell to earth
From somewhere high above
I believe in hollywood
Don't believe that love must bring despair



Cos when i hold her in my arms
I'm just like fred astaire

He said love is just a disease
A plague for the nave
These days no one believes
These days no one believes

Meteors may strike the earth
Nations live and die
I'm the boy who got the girl
Who showed me how to fly
We can cross the race divide
Bridge a gap that wasn't really there
I'm gonna hold her in my charm
Just like fred astaire

An emotional charge like an electrical spark
But the fuses are two, you can't tell them apart
When the bodies collide, the bodies emerge back into one
The only urge all change, all change etc.
Change your paths

But you can't help the thought that when nothing stays still
The tiger moves on when its taken its fill
But you cling to the part like a shark to its prey
When the part doesn't last there's pain, but no one to blame Who's to blame?
Fail to achieve a basis for collaboration
Fail to achieve a basis for collaboration
But you cling to the part like a shark to its prey
The preacher looked out on my doing today
And he said, "Oh, this looks curly to me."

Chocolate. Kisses. Pokemon
Hit em while they're young
It's true - ahha
She needs lovers round the block
He works around the clock
It's true - ahha
I know it's gonna make it better
Just know it's gonna make it better
We can hold the light of grace
Instead we flake and choose to lose

T.V. Football. Sex and killing
Without love, life's not worth living
ahha
we play our games with knowing smiles
unattached we can choose
we choose to lose it everytime

Now were heading for a fall
And a double takes it all
A stranger rolls a double 5
And everyone's a junkie
Everyone's a junkie
Everyone's a junkie
Everyone's a junkie

I know it's gonna make it better
Just know it's gonna make it better

I'm so wound up in my own ball
I loved my life so small
I've lived my life so SMALL
I've done my best it's time to crawl
SIDEWAYS
To crawl SIDEWAYS
To leave this apparition
To leave this apparition doll
Cos everyone's a junkie
Everyone's a Junkie
Everyone's a junkie

Ladies and gentlemen, here's my disease
Give me a standing ovation and your sympathy
Poor old Johnny Yen set himself on fire again

See the jeaned genie on his high-wire act
At the back of his mind lies a suicide pact
Poor old Johnny Yen set himself on fire again

See the young men itching to burn
Waiting for their own star turn
Needing danger, a war would do
If they can't let it out, they'll pick on you
Poor old Johnny Yen set himself on fire again

See Houdini and his underwater tricks
You were sitting at the front, hoping his locks would stick
Watch Knievel hit the 17th bus
You got crushed in the souvenir rush
Poor old Johnny Yen set himself on fire again

I said poor old Johnny Yen set himself on fire again
See the young men itching to burn
Waiting for their own star turn
Needing danger, a war would do
If they can't let it out, they'll pick on you
Poor old Johnny Yen set himself on fire again

Ladies and gentlemen, here's my disease
Give me a standing ovation and your sympathy

Come on, somebody, finish him off please
Put the poor fool out of his misery, will you
Can't you see he's had enough?
Finish him off, somebody

Next!

The sun is up
The sun is high
The sun is in your eye
You're shades they mirror everything
They’re leaving me quite blind
This game is up
We’ve had enough
And we can compromise
Take those glasses off your face
I want to see your eyes
I read a book
A funny book
A book about your life
You call yourself a free man
But all you did was time
When time will judge
And time will heal
And time will bury us all
And now you're in your coffin
With a satellite dish installed

Only this other fool surrounds you
Only this other fool surrounds you
You have no one to love Only this other fool surrounds you
Only this other fool surrounds you
Only this other fool surrounds you

You have no one to love

What a life, a trick of light
Then everything returns to the sea
You can have whatever you want
But are you disciplined enough to be free?

Turning love into a chore
Promises come cheap, dear reader
Another page, another door
Follow, follow me

I know what I'm here for
Hanging on through late December
I know what I'm here for
Follow, follow me
Follow me

Moving on, I don't belong
My life turned into a mall
Every line is in the song
Follow me out of the fall

What an actor, what a show
Just going through some holy motions
The band is sharp, but the singer's slow
Everything must go

I know what I'm here for
Hanging on through late December
I know what I'm here for
Follow, follow me
Follow me

Follow me (x8)

Souvenirs, polygraph tests
Photographs fresh from the wreck
What a poster saint he'll make
In one take, one take

I know what I'm here for
Hanging on through late December
I know what I'm here for
Follow, follow me
Follow me

Follow me (x8

We were doing so well,

We had broken the spell,

And freedom seemed just within reach.

We had managed the bend,

Between lover and friend,

Found a place we could possibly meet,



Yes it's me,

I can't help myself,

I just run headlong to defeat,



Yes it's me,

I can't help myself,

I defeat, I defeat, I defeat, I defeat



I'm so hard on myself,

Don't deserve any help,

So I must let you go, let you go.

So I pushed you away,

While I hoped you would stay,

But I don't let you know, let you know,



Yes it's me,

I can't help myself,

I keep running around to this beat,



Yes it's me,

I can't help myself,

I defeat, I defeat, I defeat, I defeat



Yes it's me,

I can't help myself,

I keep running around to this beat,



Yes it's me,

I can't help myself,

I defeat, I defeat, help me,



I can't help myself,

I defeat, I defeat, help me,



I can't help myself,

I defeat, I defeat, help me.

Well they said you are as good as you look but that would be impossible.
For you look better than the face of God on a sunny day.
You look good enough to eat but I've had a bellyful
And now I have this bill I don't wanna pay.
How was it for you.
Do you really need that drink to disarm defences.
Can you never face the flak when you're in control.
Well I don't believe my luck I am defenceless.
Do with me what you want but don't tell a soul.
Don't tell my soul.
How was it for you
If you ain't out of your head can you ever enjoy yourself.
But if you ain't ni your head then who's at home?
I'm so possessed by sex I could destroy my health.
We could be dancing over coals and we'd never know.
We'd never know.
How was it for you.
Where did you get those clothes
Are you sure they're still fashionable?
The sell-by date on the label says says '68.
Where did you steal those riffs and that bad attitude
You are travelling back in time to an altered state.
How was it for you.
Was it as good as it was for me
Well that's the best it's ever been
And you're the best I've ever seen
How was it for you
How was it for you

You're a late child, you're a love child
It's enough child that your so appealing
You're appealing, you're appealing
To a need that we all have been feeling
You don't fit where you've been put
They're so straight
Straight out of some book
Tried to fake it with a real man
Tried to fill your father's size ten

Alone [living] in this world
You're not a boy or a girl

Don't let them wear you down
What a wonderful ego
You should be so proud
Far out is the life for you
Not just a life that you must make do

Alone in this world
You're not a boy or a girl

Nothing is certain
Every things changed
More than just words
When it's you who's in pain
You hold the chalice
You hold the blade
Bring them together and see what you've made
Facing the future inside a cocoon
Feeling the control when you've been so abused
Alone in this world
Your're not a boy or a girl
You're not alone in this world
You're not a boy or a girl

You and me
Play this song, the vision
Hope to make this love stretch forever
Don't let go in this now or never
Hope there's change enough to say...

Hello
It's over
Hello
It's over
Hello
It's over

Hello

You must say what you're thinking
I'm no mind reader of the stars
We won't get any older
It's so fleeting
I am lost when I'm torn from your heart

Hello
It's over
Hello
It's over
Hello
Hello

Somebody dreams a brave new world
I'm forbidden to breathe its pearl
Late summer evening
Late summer scene
Come together to make this dream

Hello
It's over
Hello
It's over
Hello
Hello
It's over

All but the sea
All but the sea

I've been sittin' on top of these rocks
Watchin' the waters rise
Everyone that I have loved has gone floating by
I've been praying for the king of the world
To come and rescue me from a clan that's lost in dream
>From a clan that's lost in dream

Are you waiting for the heavens
Are you waiting for the heavens
To decsend
Waiting for the
Waiting for the
Depender, depender, depender
Are you waiting for the heavens
Are you waiting for the heavens
To decsend
Waiting for the
Waiting for the
Depender, depender, depender

I've been looking through microscopes
To see how all life begins
I've been training my lens on the stars
To see where it ends
But its this living in between
That is bringing me down
To a clan that's lost in dream
To a land that's lost in dream
To a clan that's lost in dream

Are you waiting for the heavens
Are you waiting for the heavens
To decsend
Waiting for the
Waiting for the
Depender, depender, depender
Are you waiting for the heavens

Hang on, she said.

I am ignoring all your late night calls
I'd prefer to sleep, that feel so small
I have this feeling
I'm about to crumble and fall.
Are you going to the discotheque
Cigarettes, perfume, drink and sweat
I'd prefer a good book and you in bed.

Hang on, she said.

Why are we fighting when we should be close to a wedding
Which would be better than most.
We should be in our hearts
Not at our throats.

Hang on, she said

Now I can feel that you're mad with me
Is it justified or imaginary
Tell me one day
How you would like me to be.
Living with you is a dangerous flame
You sweep me away, and then you drive me insane.
Keep your distance.
I'm looking for someone to blame.

Hang on, she said.

Be a good friend tonight.
Understand, see it from my side.
Be a good friend tonight,
One day you will see me in better light.

Hang on, she said

[Man 1]
I don't like the world I see,
So I'll avert my gaze to the T.V,
I'm too cool to get involved,
Someone else can change the channel for me.
[Man 2]
Gonna suck the juices out of this world,
Gonna treat her rough it's all she deserves,
She's so cold to me.
Gonna rape this world with my straight lines,
Gonna straighten her out 'cause nature is just history.

There's a hole in my heart,
Your so cruel to me,
There's a hole in my heart,
from your industry
There's a hole in my heart.

[Man 1]
Its no use to get involved,
You'll never stop the world from turning.
I just want to rest in peace,
I can't stop the world from burning.

[Man 2]
Gonna test my bombs wherever I want,
Gonna poon the whale, Gonna drain the swamp,
It's money to me.
Gonna fuck with genes
I am what I am,
Much more than a God,
Much less than a man of Industry.

There's a hole in my heart,
Your so cruel to me,
There's a hole in my heart,
from the industry
There's a hole in my heart

Break down the government walls.
Speak in tongues, power is money.
I see our interests fall
Well behind their curtain.
Break down the government walls.
Infiltrate our television.
Break down the government walls.
Time to be outspoken.

I can hear the sound of falling masonry
As they try to plug that leak.
I am tempted by their cloak of secrecy
To find out what their games are about.
Ask a question and they'll talk of secret services,
secrets from the people they should serve.
When they can hide their crimes in a legal disguise
Truth will not be seen nor heard.

In Ireland they may shoot to kill without warning you
Or lock you away for a while without trial.
And if an honest cop gets too close to the truth of it
They'll set him up in style. In style.
In Chine, they murder
Their youth
Who are questioning
How their lives are controlled.
Do they have the means to rewrite history.
Wipe out the genes of doubt.

Bring down the government walls.
Bring them down within my lifetime.
Let's see the curtain drawn,
see what they're concealing.
Bring down the government walls.
Secrecy suggests deception.
Bring down the government walls.
Crime to be outspoken.
It's a crime to be outspoken
