Thin december air is like the dry ice smoke You will come to your senses or inhale and choke My IQ allows me to brush you aside You are zeros and ones, you're wrong when I'm right
Now the tyrant is dead and his lady is free I am going ahead with the reinvention of me Now the king lies here dead, now the king lies here dead
It's not as wet as the rain or as cold as the snow It drives him hard to the sane and the simple soul I take a charge at my chance, you know how it is Let go of my hand, you know how it is
Now the tyrant is dead and his lady is free I am going ahead with the reinvention of me Now the king lies here dead, now the king lies here dead
And my IQ allows me to brush you aside
Now the tyrant is dead and his lady is free I am going ahead with the reinvention of me Now the tyrant is dead and his lady is free I am going ahead with the reinvention of me Now the king lies here dead, now the king lies here dead
Peel my skin off, baby peel I need my TV nerves to feel That I don't care
Shake, my legs won't stop to shake I need a kicking cause I'm fake And I don't care She's speeding all the time Exhausted, looking fine Oh, baby, you're a crime And I don't care, no I don't care
Peel my skin off so I feel I have something you can't steal Cause I don't care She's speeding all the time Exhausted, looking fine Oh, baby, you're a crime And I don't care, no I don't care And I don't care, no I don't care
Everybody gets a second in the sun I have a feeling mine has just begun Music non stop when I close my eyes Clarity born from such a compromise And you're almost like me
So why don't you dance to the music I hear inside my head Why don't you dance to the music It's the soundtrack for the end
I'm looking for a place to lie in wait I quit my job to find a perfect fate Music non stop when I close my eyes I need some time alone and I found a carpark that is home You're almost like me
So why don't you dance to the music I hear inside my head Why don't you dance to the music It's the soundtrack for the end
Everybody gets a second in the sun I have a feeling mine has just begun Music non stop when I close my eyes Clarity born from such a compromise And you are almost like me
So why don't you dance to the music I hear inside my head Why don't you dance to the music It's the soundtrack for the end Why don't you dance to the music I hear inside my head Why don't you dance to the music It's the soundtrack for the end
Summertime I'm the silence as the wind blows My land is your land we are free
Summertime If you listen close you hear my teardrops fall My dream is yours
I have time on my side Making diamonds of coal She put a hole, through my kevlar soul And my heart slowly dies It gets lonely and cold She put a hole, through my kevlar soul
Summertime I am violence as the rain falls My land is my land only mine
Summertime If I listen close I hear your teardrops fall Your dream is mine
I have time on my side Making diamonds of coal She put a hole, through my kevlar soul And my heart slowly dies It gets lonely and cold She put a hole, through my kevlar soul
I have time on my side Making diamonds of coal She put a hole, through my kevlar soul My dream is your dream And my heart slowly dies It gets lonely and cold She put a hole, through my kevlar soul Your dream is my dream
I have time on my side Making diamonds of coal She put a hole, through my kevlar soul My dream is your dream And my heart slowly dies It gets lonely and cold She put a hole, through my kevlar soul
I've been waiting for my brilliance to shine through Like waiting would do I've been called a little coward more than once It hurts when it's true I've been following your footprints in the snow Trying to return the excuses that I stole
I'm the first on and the last off the bus Little ego be still And I fight the cold wind back up the street To Hagnesta Hill And the darkness and the snow fall as one And I lost my scarf At a busstop of the outskirts of town
I gather all the courage and the hate Little ego goes wild And my voice broke down I finally reached that age I was cruel as a child If this feeling that remains is not mine Then it's something new Maybe my brilliance shining through
It's noisy, can't think, I can't speak I'm tired of handshakes so please Get rid of this crowd I can't breathe here anymore You just have to let me go
It's noisy, can't think, I can't speak I'm tired of handshakes so please Get rid of this crowd I can't breathe here anymore You just have to let me go You just have to let me go You just have to let me go You just have to let me go And I don't need your hurry You just have to let me go
I saw a film Future visions of now They changed the end Cause they always do somehow Saw you tonight For the first time in years Crushed and thin But your guardian angel's with you Judging by the way you walk
And I have a feeling, it wasn't that easy Keeping a pace like that Forever you fool me You are a heavenly junkie We live in the dreams you had I have a feeling, it wasn't that easy To be who you were
I saw a film about the violence in men I press rewind, take it frame by frame again Saw you tonight, life still danced in your eyes You're creased and lined, but your guardian angel's with you Judging by the way you talk
And I have a feeling, it wasn't that easy Keeping a pace like that Forever you fool me You are a heavenly junkie We live in the dreams you had And I have a feeling, it wasn't that easy Keeping a pace like that Forever you fool me You are a heavenly junkie We live in the dreams you had And I have a feeling, it wasn't that easy Keeping a pace like that Forever you fool me You are a heavenly junkie We live in the dreams you had And I have a feeling, it wasn't that easy To be who you were
I feel like everybody said I would feel It's over now, so kill the lights I need what everybody said I would need I'm tied uptight by your china voice That always broke when I made you sad
Stay with me stay Don't leave in this way Stay with me stay I'll do whatever you say
I do what everybody said I would do It's over now, so kill the lights I go where everybody said I would go Like a weeping child, were you the only one That made it feel right being me
Stay with me stay Don't leave in this way Stay with me stay I'll do whatever you say
And like today awaits tomorrow And like tomorrow needs today I need your simple words to follow I'll do whatever you say
Stay with me stay Don't leave in this way Stay with me stay I'll do whatever you say Stay with me stay
There was a time when I was lost in myself You took my hand became my guide There was a time you needed my help I guess my ego made me blind It's not the rain it's not the streetlights That makes your skin so pale at night
It's your quiet heart and your silence As your teardrops stain my sheets Let's take a trip through the wires Your dream is gone you are free Stay free
There was a time I had your life in my hands And you had life left in your eyes There was a time I got your hiding inside From something shining through the blinds It's not the shadows by the red lights That makes my skin crawl late at night
It's your quiet heart and your silence As your teardrops stain my sheets Let's take a trip through the wires Your dream is gone you are free
It's not the rain it's not the streetlights That makes your skin so pale at night
It's your quiet heart and your silence As your teardrops stain my sheets Let's take a trip through the wires Your dream is gone you are free
It's your quiet heart and your silence As your teardrops stain my sheets Let's take a trip through the wires Our love is dead, you are free
I got a message from the screen subliminal Like a sign saying no-one cares no more And all the networks and the TV stations Feed me lies and simple explanations But they can't fool me on the state of this nation love
You still need my hands to feel You still need my heart to bleed Cause your lips taste just like money
You start a fire and it smells like chemicals As you get higher you will hit the all time low And does the network and the TV stations And the lies, the sex, the fake relations Tell you something about the state of the nation love
You still need my hands to feel You still need my heart to bleed Cause your lips taste just like money Just like money
Concrete high rise I need no pitty On the sky train crossed this city Jesus died and God's gone missing Take your skin off it might fit me now Love is dead and you're so pretty, baby
You still need my hands to feel You still need my heart to bleed Cause your lips taste just like money You still need my lungs to breathe You still need my eyes to see Cause your lips taste just like money Just like money Just like money Just like money
On the highway there's no traces left Of accidents and incidents The christmas snow has slipped his mind As ever the forgetful kind
If I fall will you be there to catch me if I fall When I fall will you be there to catch me when I fall Down, down, down, down
The radio plays cover songs New lyrics, sex and sing alongs Suddenly I lost my friends They don't call me and I don't call them
If I fall will you be there to catch me if I fall When I fall will you be there to catch me when I fall Down, down, down, down
Nothing matters if you stay here, hold me tight All those memories will be lost in time Nothing matters if you stay here hold me tight All those memories will be lost in time
Like tears in the rain, like tears in the rain Like tears in the rain, like tears in the rain I need you, I need you now, I need you now Like tears in the rain, like tears in the rain I need you, I need you now, I need you now
I tried so hard to make you smile For once I tried to be myself I made you scared, I made you cry So I never tried again
And you tried to tell me how you feel I couldn't hear you say a thing You tried to tell me how you feel I wasn't listening, I wasn't listening
It took me 29 years to reach perfection Now they fill us with fear Computerized rejection Your voice disappears On a bad connection It gets lonely out here I need protection please Are you protecting me
Now I found a way to make you smile Pretending I am someone else Cause I really missed your smile More than I missed myself You found a way to keep it inside To a point where you can't feel a thing And silence suits us fine Cause we are not listening No, we're not listening
It took me 29 years to reach perfection Now they fill us with fear Computerized rejection Your voice disappears On a bad connection It gets lonely out here Are you protecting me, are you protecting me Are you protecting me, are you protecting me Are you protecting me, are you protecting me
The wires dream about swallows in the spring I dreamed about my childhood surrounded by dead things Awakened by the humming that machines make when they sleep At least I woke up smiling, so glad I had a dream
She is waving out of the window Her smile is red as a wound And my quiet heart goes to pieces It's been a lonely year in this room
And I will not ignore you like before My january promises are more Than words softly spoken
I'm filming now Obsessed with how I look And everything I told you Was stolen from a book I read something about kisses in a sience magazine Something they can't capture in the sweetest movie scenes
She is waving out of the window Her smile is red as a wound And my quiet heart goes to pieces It's been a lonely year in this room
And I will not ignore you like before My january promises are more Than words softly spoken
There is something in her eyes That's making me scared It's clinging to my shirt now Like static in her hair And something here is wrong I heard it when she spoke Her dust flows through my veins And I'm yesterday's joke
And it seems impossible to meet her simple needs She breaths invincible and it's giving me the creeps She is still the wild one here, the incendiary soul She is in flame and I am cold God, I'm getting old
She is talking through a yawn and the radio is on I listen through the thin walls And someone is whisteling along There is something in the air Squeezing out sparks The striplight flickers and then dies And leaves us in the dark
And it seems impossible to make the ending speak She breaths invincible and it's giving me the creeps She is still the wild one here, the incendiary soul She is in flame and I am cold God, I'm getting old God, it's getting cold
And I tried to make you a believer But you're not a receiver
Det var en gang for sa lange sen Du och jag slogs mot dumheten Vi foljdes at till vara drommars stad Vind i haret och var sikt lag klar
Vi visste allt pojkars overmod Ett farligt vapen var var blinda tro Det var en gang i ett annat liv Ett annat dom mot ett annat vi och jag
Hor du mig Hor du mig Kan du hora mig Hor du mig Hor du mig Allt det har ar for dig Hor du mig Hor du mig Kan du hora mig Allt vi sagt allt vi gjort Blev en sang for dig
Ambitionen var ett langsamt gift Du holl ut lange men du foll till sist Och jag den svage jag star ensam kvar En sista rest av en utdod art
Hor du mig Hor du mig Kan du hora mig Hor du mig Hor du mig Allt det har ar for dig Hor du mig Hor du mig Kan du hora mig Allt vi sagt allt vi gjort Blev en sang for dig
Ammunition tog slut till sist Nu kan ni kalla mig the Sundance Kid Den fria viljan var var tonarsdrom Men vi ar bara instinkt bara djur och allt ar logn
Hor du mig Hor du mig Kan du hora mig Hor du mig Hor du mig Allt det har ar for dig Hor du mig Hor du mig Kan du hora mig Allt vi sagt allt vi gjort Blev en sang for dig
Once upon a long time ago You and I fought against stupidity We followed until we were in the city of dreams The wind in our hair and our view was clear We knew everything, boyish arrogance A dangerous weapon was our blind faith Once upon a time in an other live Another them against another we
Do you hear me? Do you hear me? Can you hear me? All this here is for you Do you hear me? Do you hear me? Can you hear me? Everything we said, everything we did was a song for you
Ambition was een slow poison You keep up long but you're last to fall And I, the weakling, I stand alone A last remainder of an extinct species
Chorus
Ammunitie was last to make up his mind Now you can call me the Sundance Kid Free will was our teenage dream But we're just instinct, just animals and everything is a lie
Sagor for barnen som ar som du (om en tunnel vid ljusets slut) Jag ar din van och vi lar oss av varann (det ar ett av skalen) Ge dom ett finger och varm min hand (i ett iskallt IKEA-land) Du ar min van och vi lar oss av varann (bara ett av skalen, ett av skalen, ett av skalen, ett av skalen)
Refr. Sa snurra min jord igen Radion spelar var sang Stockholm ligger ode och varlden haller andan (vilken farg har sjalen) Snurra min jord igen For allt vi dromde en gang Allt som du gor blir till parlor pa min panna (vilken farg har sjalen alskling)
Ge oss en chans vi ar aldre nu (vi ser ljuset vid tunnelns slut) Ge oss en chans vi kan lara av varann (det ar ett av skalen) Sagor for barn som ar vuxna nu (TV:n star pa som bakgrundsljud) Jag ar din van och vi lar oss av varann (bara ett av skalen, ett av skalen)
En ensam kvinna soker en man Svar till "Hjartat talar sant" En pessimist i sitt livs form Jag vadrar blod, det luktar sorg
En utomjordings karlekstorst En undran vem som svek vem forst At fett och socker tills du spyr Eller blir en fyra-tonsmartyr Salj dig, salj dig dyrt
Kom lana tornekronan min Lid for konsten eller brinn Jag slass och haller kroppen varm En drom om mammas omma famn
En utomjordings karlekstorst En undran vem som svek vem forst Och jag blir garna en martyr Vi behover nog en ny Salj dig, salj dig dyrt
Ett langfinger at doden Vi gick over lik Och skylta' med var karlek, Vart rika inre liv Men platarna till himlen Var slut nar vi kom dit Och priset vi betalat For att klassas som elit Var att vi blev som dom andra
Vi blev som dom andra Vi blev som dom andra Vi blev som dom andra
Och vi kommer inte langre Vi ar tillbaks pa noll Men ingen kommer sorja Vi har spelat ut var roll Vi glommer hela skiten Det betyder ingenting Vi skulle kommit langre Men rackte inte till
Vi blev som dom andra Vi blev som dom andra Vi blev som dom andra
Jag fick ett brev Ett riktigt brev med frimarken Ett vykort ifran langesen Da framtiden var var
Och som du skrev Om din spaning efter friheten Ord bevingade som fjarilen Och jag tror att jag forstar
Att langsamt, langsamt, Ah, sa langsamt Sa vann du dina natter tillbaks Att langsamt, langsamt, Ah, sa langsamt Sa gled vi in i glomskan dar ljuset ar svagt Det som var du och jag
Jag skrev ett brev Om att leva med forbannelsen Jag gav dig min version av sanningen For att fa dig att forsta
Att langsamt, langsamt Ah, sa langsamt Sa vann vi vara natter tillbaks Langsamt, langsamt, Ah sa langsamt Sa gled vi in i minnet, gomda langst bak Det som var du och jag
Langsamt, langsamt, Ah, sa langsamt Sa vann vi vara natter tillbaks Langsamt, langsamt, Ah, sa langsamt Sa gled vi in i glomskan dar ljuset ar svagt Det som var du och jag
Kylan blev min van Min ursakt for att gomma mig igen I musiken och Ziggy blev min bror Nar du fann mig satt jag hjalplos vid ett bord Jag som nyss foll till en obegriplig jord Du blev min raddning sa obegripligt stort
Att du vill vara min Att du vill vara min Att du vill vara min Att du vill vara min
Du var aldrig radd For dom som kallat mig "En skada redan skedd" Du ar musiken och Ziggy han forstod Att jag som alltid varit stum behovde ord Jag som tvekat, jag som aldrig vagat tro Att jag har nanting sa obegripligt stort
Att du vill vara min Att du vill vara min Att du vill vara min Att du vill vara min
Ett under att du ser mig Att du fortfarande ser mig Ett under att du ser mig Som nagon som kan ge dig nanting Som far dig att vilja vara min
Att du vill vara min Att du vill vara min Att du vill vara min Att du vill vara min Att du vill vara min Att du vill vara min
