It's a weird game I'm lonely without skin No end to begin and only Your mind to hide in I nudge life Like an unborn child. a dream Inside but now I live behind your eyes I'm uninvited. and I'm only A memory that comes through
I'm living in your dreams I'm where you cannot be I'm way out of your reach
I'm living in your dreams I'm where you cannot see Is it you or is it me?
I can't protect what you can't forget But now I live behind your eyes You recognize me as only a memory That comes through
I'm living in your dreams I'm where you cannot go Beyond everything you know I'm living in your dreams You won't find me anywhere I've vanished in the air
Unbidden shadows of you formed yesterday I ran away to a room here on the bay Interrupted life again, another new beginning Where the silence echoes you're no longer with me
Here and now, I feel that I'm embracing freedom Even though I may be alone, but that's okay
Through the darkness I would walk in the streets Confessions never seemed to provide me with a release Held me down and tried to cure me, tried to give me reason But nothing could separate this burdened mind from me
Here and now, I feel that I'm embracing freedom Even though I may be alone, but that's okay And looking out to a different sky will disengage me Absence is never the answer, I know, but it serves as my shade
I do not seek and do not intend to find A calmer ocean or a sun that will never rise My world will never change and time will bring you to my thoughts And I'll move on and then forget you all over again Moving on, I can forgive you all over again
Here and now, I feel that I'm embracing freedom Even though I may be alone, but that's okay And looking out onto a different sky, it seems so easy Absence is never the answer, I know, but it serves as my shade
There used to be a time When i was your slave We used to have a deal But you took and i gave You called me uncivilised You called me untamed I don't want to hear your shit 'cos all of that's changed And it's safe to say
I don't- You don't- We don't feel that way anymore I don't- You don't- We don't feel that way anymore
There used to be a time When i was your whore You told me i needed you I think we both knew the score Now you're tight with your money And you're tight with your friends I've got two hundred million mouths to feed And you want me to bend I don't think so
I don't- You don't- We don't feel that way anymore I don't- You don't- We don't feel that way anymore
(shake it baby, shake it, shake it baby) (shake it, shake it, baby)
There used to be a time When i was your slave Now you'd better look behind you You've fucked me enough for one day
I don't- You don't- We don't feel that way anymore I don't- You don't- We don't feel that way anymore
(shake it baby, shake it, shake it baby)
I don't- You don't- We don't feel that way anymore I don't- You don't- We don't feel that way anymore
I don't- You don't- We don't feel that way anymore I don't- You don't- We don't feel that way anymore
I don't- You don't- We don't feel that way anymore I don't- You don't- We don't feel that way anymore
I don't- You don't- We don't feel that way anymore
Hear the sirens in a distant part of town Hear the rumble of the freeway dying down Someone calls me but the answer phone's turned down I'm not sleepin' but there's sleepers all around
Hear the TV say the future's gettin' near Everybody lives between their hope and fear I can't tell if anyone is sincere Lock the door and pull the covers up to here
It's dark out there
Footsteps echoing outside the door Tomorrow's paper brings the same news as before No one cares about the truth any more Now the hurricane is racing to the shore
It's dark out there
Other people are in dream land Other people are asleep All the bad things in the world are just outside I'm falling in too deep, I'm tryin' to get some sleep
Hear the sirens in a distant part of town Hear the rumble of the freeway dying down Someone calls me but the answer phone's turned down I'm not sleepin' but there's sleepers all around
Hear the TV say the future's gettin' near Everybody lives between their hope and fear I can't tell if anyone is sincere Lock the door and pull the covers up to here
It's dark out there
Footsteps echoing outside the door Tomorrow's paper brings the same news as before No one cares about the truth any more Now the hurricane is racing to the shore
It's dark out there
Other people are in dream land Other people are asleep All the bad things in the world are just outside I'm falling in too deep, I'm tryin' to get some sleep
