Nina Gordon

Dream we're out on the roadway and you're right there by my side
An we're taking off in your G5 baby, I love it when we fly
Cause you're mighty like a knockout baby, you're desperate like a rose
And you're stumbling to the spotlight and you watch the crowd grow

But my hero said, you can't hold the hand of a rock and roll man
But what if I can, what if I can

And what if I look to the sky and check out the stars, how they shine into your eyes
They're just like mine, searching the darkness for some kind of sign
I'm building my life on the dreams you string together
Like Christmas Lights

I can't wait till the night comes for that sweet blue sky
Because I've got something to tell you and the daylight makes me shy
But tonight I'll sing out as loud as I can
Like a diehard fan for my favorite band, loud as I can

And I'm gonna look to the sky and check out the stars, how they shine into your eyes
They're just like mine, searching the darkness for some kind of sign
I'm building our lives on the dreams we string together
Like Christmas Lights

Slow down baby, the summer is over, it's almost time to go home
But don't worry baby, the nights may get colder but you're not alone, no

And my hero said, you can't hold the hand of a rock and roll man
But what if I can, what if I can

And what if I look to the sky and check out the stars, how they shine into your eyes
They're just like mine, searching the darkness for some kind of sign
I'm building my life on the dreams you string together
Like Christmas Lights
Like Christmas Lights
Look in your eyes
Look in your eyes
Look in your eyes
Look in your eyes

This was the year I fell apart
This was the year I went to war with my heart
This was a bad year for girls like me
We want live, we want to be free

Rolling down the hill to see my friends
I don't feel well
And I'm not happy, but I'm going to be

The summer starts and the summer ends
I look around at all my friends
They don't seem happy, but they're going to be

And they say life's a dream
We believe what we want to believe
And I want to believe in something please

So don't let me down
Please place me gently on the ground
It took me all this time to figure out what I need
And the journey made me weak
So don't you let me down this time
Don't let me down

I needed more, or so I thought
I needed a love that couldn't be bought
But I kept on spending 'til he loved me not

Now someone new is coming in
Oh god it's so sweet when it begins
But I'm so bitter, what if I poison him?

But he says that I'm the dream
He's been praying for down on his knees
And I want to believe him please, believe

He won't let me down
Please place me gently on the ground
It took me all this time to figure out what I need
And the journey made me bleed
So don't you let me down this time
Don't let me down

And I feel like I'm running
This time don't let me down
'Cause I feel like it's coming
This time don't let me down
Oh please don't let me down

Don't let me down
Please place me gently on the ground
It took me so long to figure out what I mean
And the journey made me bleed
So don't you let me down this time
Don't let me down

Once in a while
You ask for a smile
And what am I going to say?

My tears are real
I like how they feel
I like how they carry me away

Baby I'm warning you
I'm happiest when I'm blue

Now I'm bleeding like watercolors
Keep me dreaming in pale blues and greens
Keep on running like watercolors
Lead me back to the sea

I'm just a fool
I talk out of school
I do things I should not do

But I'm not ashamed
It's the way that I'm made
I'm sorry but I'll never change for you

At least I can tell the truth
That I'm happiest when I'm blue

Now I'm bleeding like watercolors
Keep me dreaming in pale blues and greens
Keep on running like watercolors
Lead me back to the sea

Nightshade and Opaline
Blackbirds and faded dreams
And I'm falling, falling down
I keep falling, falling down

Baby I'm warning you
I'm happiest when I'm blue
When I'm blue

Now I'm bleeding like watercolors
Keep me dreaming in pale blues and greens
Keep on running like watercolors
Wide and open and blue like the sea
Always running like watercolors
Ocean colors that bleed for me
Keep on running like watercolors
And lead me back to the sea
Just lead me back to the sea

Somebody stop me before I throw it all away
Cause I know he's gonna drop me if I wait another day

You are a Superstar and I have pushed you way too far
I don't know if I can get to where you are, oh darling, I'm on my way

And everybody asks me if I fell for someone new
And I wouldn't put it past me but this time I've been true

Cause you are a Superstar and I have pushed you way too far
I don't know if I can get to where you are, oh baby, I'm on my way
I'm on my way

And there's a half a million reasons why I'm on this plane tonight
And half a million reasons why I almost missed my flight

And you are a Superstar and I have pushed you way too far
I don't know if I can get to where you are, oh baby, I'm on my way
Oh, I'm on my way

I wanna write a song that will break your heart
I want you to hear it and fall apart
I wanna be there when the tears fall from your eyes
I wanna see it in you face when you realize

Turn on your radio and listen to these words as I repeat them
You have lost me, you have lost me
Turn on your radio and listen to these words till you believe them
You have lost me, you have lost me this time

Don't know where you are tonight
If there is someone sleeping by your side
But I'm gonna write it with my airplane in your sky
And you're gonna read it on a billboard when you're driving by

Turn on your radio and listen to these words as I repeat them
You have lost me, yeah, you have lost me
Turn on your radio and listen to these words till you believe them
You have lost me, yeah, you have lost me

Turning over the airwaves, loud and clear so you can hear me
And over the new world so you can sing it in your sleep
And no matter where you go I'll be right there in stereo

I wanna be there when the tears fall from your eyes
I wanna see it in you face when you realize

Turn on your radio and listen to these words as I repeat them
You have lost me, yeah, you have lost me
Just turn on your radio and listen to these words till you believe them
You have lost me, yeah, you have lost me

Turn on your radio
Till you believe that you have lost me
You have lost me, you have

Turn on your radio
Till you believe that you have lost me
Yeah, you have lost me this time

This is not a dream
I am not asleep
This is not a game that I'm playing here
Somewhere in between what's real and how it seems
I find myself forgetting how to speak

And it's good to be alone
And it's good to see what I've become
When you don't want me anymore

Everybody knows how the story goes
Summer fades away and you're leaving
Welcome to the world of your former favorite girl
September comes and washes her away

And it's good to be alone
And it's good to see what I've become
When you don't want me anymore
When you don't want me anymore

Love dies everyone lies
You did your best and so did i
But everybody has to give up sometime
Young gods, alien gods
Star by star we all must fall, yeah,
Everybody has to burn out sometime

Young gods alien gods
Star by star we all must fall, yeah,
Everybody has to burn out sometime

And it's good to be alone
And it's good to see what I've become
And it's good to be alone
And it's good to see what I've become
When you don't want me anymore
When you don't want me anymore
And you don't want me

I wait for the day to break me
I look up to the sky
I look back on my life
Gratefully
You were mine

The times comes
And then it goes
Then it goes away

Don't try to read the silence
Don't try to live it down
'cause I learned a thing or two
About patience
And I have found

Repeat chorus
Repeat first verse
Repeat chorus

he takes me everywhere he goes and he goes everywhere he
likes to try on all my clothes but not my underwear and he
never hates me just wants to levitate me now i know the
secret of the world i am the girl and he is the guy i never dared
to be simple and wise he opened up my eyes i understand
everything and now i can die he gives me everything he's got
and he's got everything he calls me on the phone a lot he's
got a special ring yeah he really loves me sweethearts and
turtledoves me now i know the meaning of that word i'm not
trying to say that i don't want to live 'cause i do i've got more
to take i've got some more to give you know i do but if
tomorrow my number should be called i won't be sad i won't
feel bad at all

hey baby why'd you turn away i was about to say
something baby i thought would make you smile
at least for a little while oh well baby that's the
way it goes right from my head to my toes and
you're the first to know that i've got a brilliant
plan i hope you understand i want to meet in
2OO3 i want to see what the future can bring to
me and when i do i'll meet you here my darling
and when i'm free i'll be waiting where i said i
would be my love will you wait for me what
we've found is such a precious thing that's what
i 'm trying to sing but before i lose my nerve i
better write down these words 'cause i don't
know what you heard and you know that i won't
change my mind i made a promise to be true let
them say that it's a selfish game but i don' t play
with anyone but you

Down to the Earth I fell
With dripping wings
Heavy things won't fly
And the sky might catch on fire
And burn the axis of the world that's why
I prefer a sunless sky
To the glittering and stinging in my eyes

(chorus)
Oh I feel so alive
This is all I wanna feel tonight
Oh I feel so alive
Tonight and the rest of my life

Gleaming in the dark sea
I'm as light as air
Floating there breahtlessly
When the dream disloves I open
Up my eyes I realize that
Everything is shoreless sea
A weightlessness is passing over me

(chorus)

Everything is waves and stars
The universe is resting in my arms

(chorus X 2)

the pinch one inch half a head and half dead no
pain no gain there's a million voices in my brain it's
like a game of hide and seek and i play every day i
close my eyes and i count to ten one two three and
everybody runs away i'm in a bad way it's such a
bad way can't you give a damn on a better day i
can't come out to play when i'm in such a bad bad
way purple leather makes it better a purple coat or
a purple sweater clothes make the girl i know but i
can't get dressed when i'm this low i'm like a self
made hand grenade but i can't pull the pin i set the
bait and sit back and wait then i try to see if i can
reel you in little peach little blue a little water and
i'm as good as new i want to swallow all of you but
i'm biting more than i can chew

they walk the horses home at night right by my
window they pull their carriages along busy city
streets it's from another time it's like a lullaby but i
don't think that i can sleep tonight so i count the
streetlights i count the stars i make a wish and
wonder where you are i wonder if i'll live long
enough to feel again help me 'cause i'm falling out
of grace i hang my head and hide my face i don't
know what it is i just feel out of place like horses in
the city i played the game i dropped the ball i lost
another friend i gained a future but i can't see
where the future ends i'd write a letter or write a
song but once again my voice just comes out
wrong i wonder if i'll live long enough to sing again
but they don't seem frightened as the cars go
speeding by so why am i so terrified to close my
eyes tonight i'm just afraid there's no time no time
this time they walk the horses home at night right
by my window they pull their carriages along busy
city streets i wonder if they'll live to run without the
reins again

we're the same and you don't even know it
we're afraid and we try not to show it and you're
tired and i am too so there's only one thing you
can do you've got to hold me and tell me what
you need don't be afraid of what you' re feeling
when you know me then i'll never want to leave
you just hold on to me when we're apart i still
feel together i still believe in a thing called
forever but we're drifting apart it's true and it's
breaking my heart in two we'll drive away where
no one can find us it's time to leave those dark
days behind us in my dreams it's always you so
there's only one thing we can do

normally i'd be french-twisting my hair and
selecting the right earrings to wear it's a special
evening for most normally i'd be proposing a
toast but not this year because i'm here the
party's all around me you're there indifference
has found me i know it's not in fashion wearing
heartache on your sleeve but i'm here and
you're there so who cares what i wear on new
year's eve normally i'd be knee-deep in
champagne i'd kick my heels up until neighbors
complain it's a glamorous evening for most
normally i'd be upstaging the host but not this
year because i'm here the party's all around me
you're there indifference has found me i know i
should have dressed up but i just can't make
believe now i'm here and you're there so who
cares what i wear on new year's eve if you're
flirting with some other girl tonight i'm not flirting
with some other guy i keep thinking how last year
at midnight you blew me away with the resolution
that you made i'm here the party's all around
me you're there indifference has found me and
tonight before the ball drops i'll grab my coat
and leave i'm here and you're there so who
cares what i wear on new year's eve

and it feels like a movie 'cause i've done
something heavy now i'm all alone and you know i
like it well i wish i was older i could hold my liquor
then i 'd blow your cover instead of my own
'cause there's nothing i can do to prove that i
still love you and i think i hear my friends through
the walls i'm gonna fade to black i think i'm
gonna fade to black i swear to god i'd take it
back but it's just no use what's done is done i
can't blame anyone but me everybody's out
there without me they're not even talking about
me flying out of the city and they don't even miss
me four days in the haze of the biggest mistake
i've ever made and now i've got to get out of
this place 'cause everybody knows even the ones
who don't

number one camera so here i go i know this feeling
awfully well i could build a camera custom made
to tape record the smell of the perfume that we
used to share until you spilled it on the floor what
more could anybody ask for i remember you in
polaroid the glitter and the glue and all that noise i
should probably sort of miss you but i see you all the
time in polaroid up up and away in my beautiful
cliche i have wasted too much precious time
pretending i'm o.k. i better get out of the kitchen
next time when i can not stand the heat my feet
were colder than the hebrides we were bored
there was nothing else to do playing records and
posing in the nude it was dirty mind so it was cool
and i always thought i'd know you everybody knew
the score they knew they could not trust us but i
could peel you like a pear and god would call it
justice i guess there's nothing left to do but live
with just the memory of you i do in sixties pink and
light blue

and this is the way it's going to be i gave him
away and now i'm free but he was the life i
meant to lead there's nothing left of me but this
is my melody and why must the night crawl by
like this and why do we dwell on what we'll miss
i've got to be careful what i wish my happiness
was his but this is my goodbye kiss he got me
down and now i'm only singing for my health got
me down and now i can't get up myself got me
down turn around and tell me when it's over and
it's time for me to get up off the ground and
there's really nothing left to say but this couldn't
wait another day 'cause something confusing
but o.k. has got me in its sway and this is my
getaway and though i try to hear you now i think
we've built a wall of sound between us and
though you know i love you still i think we've
both just lost the will

from the moment i arrived until the day that i
died i was selfish and slow too slow to ride by
your side i was so afraid that i began to fade now
another bright has turned to gray and someone
else's light will take my place and though i'm
getting used to the aftertaste you know i miss
your eyes i miss your face and when the sun went
dead and the moon was up ahead i finally
figured out what i should have said to you then
and no one is to blame but we'll never be the
same there's no use in trying i can't be what i
was

i hate your way i don't care what you say i hate
your way i don't care and i 'm only half there so i
don't care they can cut me down 'til i'm the talk of
the town i'm a fool for you had to sell my soul but
you were so rock and roll i'm a fool for you i hate
your way a little more every day i hate your way a
little more and i could leave but what for a little
more and it's wicked to be so stupid man it's stupid
to be so dumb i'm getting crooked i can feel it i
can feel it in my bones

Why does the son go on shining?
why does the sea rush to shore?
Don`t they know it`s the end of the world if you don`t love me any more?

Why do the birds go on singing?
Why do the stars glow above?
Don`t they know it`s the end of the world it ended when I lost your love. I wake up in the morning and I wonder Why everything`s the same as it was And I can`t understand
No I can`t understand why life goes on the way it does.

Why does my heart go on beating?
Why do these eyes of mine cry?
Don`t they know it`s the end of the world it ended when we said good bye (good bye)

I wake up in the morning and I wonder Why everything`s the same as it was And I can`t understand
No I can`t understand wht life goes on the way it does.

Tell me why does my heart go on beating? Why do these eyes of mine cry? Don`t they know it`s the end of the world it ended when we said good bye (good bye)

What's that sound?
You got me hanging on
And listen to confessions on the telephone

Hear me now
Hear me now
Hear me now
You beat me black and blonde
Somebody tell me what the hell is going on

God save the middle child, she's never what she seems
Can't blame the middle child, she's drowning in her dreams

Dumb me down
Dumb me down
Dumb me down
You got the wrong address
I'm a mortar and a pestal not a garlic press

Beware the middle child she'll bring you to your knees
She's just a little child who's fallen in between
Save the middle child, she's never what she seems
Can't blame the middle child, she's drowning, in her dreams

Hear me now
Hear me now
Hear me now
You beat me black and blonde
Somebody tell me what the hell is going on Now

Beware the middle child she'll bring you to your knees
She's just a little child who's fallen in between
Save the middle child, she's never what she seems
Can't blame the middle child, she's drowning
She's drowning

A ring in my ears, from playing too loud
I hear the ocean, I hear the crowd

Dream we're out on the roadway and you're right there by my side
An we're taking off in your G5 baby, I love it when we fly
Cause you're mighty like a knockout baby, you're desperate like a rose
And you're stumbling to the spotlight and you watch the crowd grow

But my hero said, you can't hold the hand of a rock and roll man
But what if I can, what if I can

And what if I look to the sky and check out the stars, how they shine into your eyes
They're just like mine, searching the darkness for some kind of sign
I'm building my life on the dreams you string together
Like Christmas Lights

I can't wait till the night comes for that sweet blue sky
Because I've got something to tell you and the daylight makes me shy
But tonight I'll sing out as loud as I can
Like a diehard fan for my favorite band, loud as I can

And I'm gonna look to the sky and check out the stars, how they shine into your eyes
They're just like mine, searching the darkness for some kind of sign
I'm building our lives on the dreams we string together
Like Christmas Lights

Slow down baby, the summer is over, it's almost time to go home
But don't worry baby, the nights may get colder but you're not alone, no

And my hero said, you can't hold the hand of a rock and roll man
But what if I can, what if I can

And what if I look to the sky and check out the stars, how they shine into your eyes
They're just like mine, searching the darkness for some kind of sign
I'm building my life on the dreams you string together
Like Christmas Lights
Like Christmas Lights
Look in your eyes
Look in your eyes
Look in your eyes
Look in your eyes

Destructive, exciting, and I can't let go
Inciting a riot on my radio
I'm going, I'm gone, even though I know it's wrong

He's a Saturday night and a Sunday morning rolled into one
With a dirty smile that could shame the sun

If I'm going to hang myself on someone else, he's just enough rope
I know it's bad news, but I can't say no
If bitter is sweet, he's just what I need
So kiss me 'til it bleeds

I'm stupid, a sucker-- he's a loaded gun
A lover, a leaver-- just a hit-and-run
When our worlds collide, breathe deep and hold on tight

'Cause he's so rock and roll, I'm a tortured soul with him in my bones
And he leaves me shattered like a rolling stone

If I'm going to hang myself on someone else, he's just enough rope
I know it's bad news, but I can't say no
If bitter is sweet, he's just what I need
So kiss me 'til it bleeds

So what do you do now?
You know he's going to take you down
But you're addicted to the sound and so you hang around

I'm going, I'm gone, even though I know it's wrong

He's a saturday night and a sunday morning rolled into one
With a dirty smile that could shame the sun

If I'm going to hang myself on someone else, he's just enough rope
I know it's bad news, but I can't say no
If bitter is sweet, he's just what I need
So kiss me 'til it bleeds
Just kiss me 'til it bleeds

This was the year I fell apart
This was the year I went to war with my heart
This was a bad year for girls like me
We want live, we want to be free

Rolling down the hill to see my friends
I don't feel well
And I'm not happy, but I'm going to be

The summer starts and the summer ends
I look around at all my friends
They don't seem happy, but they're going to be

And they say life's a dream
We believe what we want to believe
And I want to believe in something please

So don't let me down
Please place me gently on the ground
It took me all this time to figure out what I need
And the journey made me weak
So don't you let me down this time
Don't let me down

I needed more, or so I thought
I needed a love that couldn't be bought
But I kept on spending 'til he loved me not

Now someone new is coming in
Oh god it's so sweet when it begins
But I'm so bitter, what if I poison him?

But he says that I'm the dream
He's been praying for down on his knees
And I want to believe him please, believe

He won't let me down
Please place me gently on the ground
It took me all this time to figure out what I need
And the journey made me bleed
So don't you let me down this time
Don't let me down

And I feel like I'm running
This time don't let me down
'Cause I feel like it's coming
This time don't let me down
Oh please don't let me down

Don't let me down
Please place me gently on the ground
It took me so long to figure out what I mean
And the journey made me bleed
So don't you let me down this time
Don't let me down

Once in a while
You ask for a smile
And what am I going to say?

My tears are real
I like how they feel
I like how they carry me away

Baby I'm warning you
I'm happiest when I'm blue

Now I'm bleeding like watercolors
Keep me dreaming in pale blues and greens
Keep on running like watercolors
Lead me back to the sea

I'm just a fool
I talk out of school
I do things I should not do

But I'm not ashamed
It's the way that I'm made
I'm sorry but I'll never change for you

At least I can tell the truth
That I'm happiest when I'm blue

Now I'm bleeding like watercolors
Keep me dreaming in pale blues and greens
Keep on running like watercolors
Lead me back to the sea

Nightshade and Opaline
Blackbirds and faded dreams
And I'm falling, falling down
I keep falling, falling down

Baby I'm warning you
I'm happiest when I'm blue
When I'm blue

Now I'm bleeding like watercolors
Keep me dreaming in pale blues and greens
Keep on running like watercolors
Wide and open and blue like the sea
Always running like watercolors
Ocean colors that bleed for me
Keep on running like watercolors
And lead me back to the sea
Just lead me back to the sea

Somebody stop me before I throw it all away
Cause I know he's gonna drop me if I wait another day

You are a Superstar and I have pushed you way too far
I don't know if I can get to where you are, oh darling, I'm on my way

And everybody asks me if I fell for someone new
And I wouldn't put it past me but this time I've been true

Cause you are a Superstar and I have pushed you way too far
I don't know if I can get to where you are, oh baby, I'm on my way
I'm on my way

And there's a half a million reasons why I'm on this plane tonight
And half a million reasons why I almost missed my flight

And you are a Superstar and I have pushed you way too far
I don't know if I can get to where you are, oh baby, I'm on my way
Oh, I'm on my way

I wanna write a song that will break your heart
I want you to hear it and fall apart
I wanna be there when the tears fall from your eyes
I wanna see it in you face when you realize

Turn on your radio and listen to these words as I repeat them
You have lost me, you have lost me
Turn on your radio and listen to these words till you believe them
You have lost me, you have lost me this time

Don't know where you are tonight
If there is someone sleeping by your side
But I'm gonna write it with my airplane in your sky
And you're gonna read it on a billboard when you're driving by

Turn on your radio and listen to these words as I repeat them
You have lost me, yeah, you have lost me
Turn on your radio and listen to these words till you believe them
You have lost me, yeah, you have lost me

Turning over the airwaves, loud and clear so you can hear me
And over the new world so you can sing it in your sleep
And no matter where you go I'll be right there in stereo

I wanna be there when the tears fall from your eyes
I wanna see it in you face when you realize

Turn on your radio and listen to these words as I repeat them
You have lost me, yeah, you have lost me
Just turn on your radio and listen to these words till you believe them
You have lost me, yeah, you have lost me

Turn on your radio
Till you believe that you have lost me
You have lost me, you have

Turn on your radio
Till you believe that you have lost me
Yeah, you have lost me this time

This is not a dream
I am not asleep
This is not a game that I'm playing here
Somewhere in between what's real and how it seems
I find myself forgetting how to speak

And it's good to be alone
And it's good to see what I've become
When you don't want me anymore

Everybody knows how the story goes
Summer fades away and you're leaving
Welcome to the world of your former favorite girl
September comes and washes her away

And it's good to be alone
And it's good to see what I've become
When you don't want me anymore
When you don't want me anymore

Love dies everyone lies
You did your best and so did i
But everybody has to give up sometime
Young gods, alien gods
Star by star we all must fall, yeah,
Everybody has to burn out sometime

Young gods alien gods
Star by star we all must fall, yeah,
Everybody has to burn out sometime

And it's good to be alone
And it's good to see what I've become
And it's good to be alone
And it's good to see what I've become
When you don't want me anymore
When you don't want me anymore
And you don't want me

I wait for the day to break me
I look up to the sky
I look back on my life
Gratefully
You were mine

The times comes
And then it goes
Then it goes away

Don't try to read the silence
Don't try to live it down
'cause I learned a thing or two
About patience
And I have found

Repeat chorus
Repeat first verse
Repeat chorus

You sleep better when you're
You eat better when you're
You sing better when you're
You need me more when you're
straight is this the weekend?
Is that your girlfriend?
She's green and innocent
You smoke her like she's incense
She's smilin'

I'll wait 'til summer's over
I'll love you through october
I'll give you everything
I'll trade you anything for her
Stay straight for me
Stay straight for me
Stay straight for me
Stay straight for me

Leave me, lying here cause I don't wanna go (x3)
Tell me tell me what you really want from me
You're got me let me know
I'm falling off and I need you terribly
One down and one to go

volcano girls we really can't be beat
warm us and watch us blow
But now and then we fail and we admit defeat
We're falling off we arewatered down and fully grown
Leave me lying here cause I don't wanna go (x2)

A million miles of running and I hit the wall
I bounce back and I run some more
But this is it I'm giving up I'm calling quits
So get down and meet me on the floor
Way to go way to flip off everyone
I steal your thunder then I try to bolt
But I could stand a little pity now and then
I'm falling off I am watered down and fully grown

Cause I don't wanna go, I don't wanna go,
I don't wanna go, I don't wanna go
I told you about the seether before
You know the one that's neither or nor
Well here's another clue if you please

I wind you up
then I wait for the melancholy
I give you up
while you sit here in all your glory
I never thought you would
I never knew you could
but now you're gone
and I don't think I care
I sold your love
down the river for a bow and arrow
euphoria has just been here
and she's looking terrible
I never sung this low
it's better if you go
I know you're mine
I sit here and want you to try
to love me like a monster
one last time
control me like a father
one last time
stay with me till I'm stronger

one last
bound to kick me when I'm down
don't kick me when I'm down
I never thought you would
I never understood
and that's why I'm weak and I want you to try
to make me an example
one last time
to drag me through the cycle
one last time
to make me a disciple
one last
round, will get me to the ground
you'll get me on the ground
(oh yeah)
I'll see you around
yeah, I'll see you around
one last time
and I'll see you around
yeah, I'll see you around
(na na na na na na na......)

I kinda heard you singing
oh, I never knew

my heart skips around
when I hear the sound
I'm never alone
cause you're following me home
I'm falling in love
my walkman and me
with David Bowie
yeah
(you betcha)
with teenage medication
flowing through my veins
I can face the strain and
it's causing a sensation
that I can't explain
yeah, I can't explain

I'm never alone
cause you're following me home
I'm falling in love
my walkman and me

I need a few good days
Benjamin, no, oh...
Benjamin, no, oh...
Benjamin, no...

It's freezing in Bristol
there's love on the tele
a girl grinning at me
she's doing the shimmy
and she's cruel
and she's skinny
and she's a fool
for the last living rock king
it's her thrill
it's her wonder
it's her will
it's her way home
she's right where she always wanted to be
she can't change
change...
change...
it's lightening in London
([whisper] it's lightening in London)
there's shit on the tele
(there's shit on TV)
you're pushing my buttons
(pushing my buttons)
you know how to touch me
and I knew
that you'd choose me
by the times
that you tried to refuse me

it's your thrill
it's your wonder
it's your will
it's your way home
you're right where you always wanted to be
you can't change
change...
change...
(woah)
it's morning in Philly
([whisper] it's morning in Philly)
my head's feeling heavy
(my head's feeling heavy)
the sun makes me dizzy
(the sun makes me sick)
you monkey, you left me
and I know
that you miss me
by the way
that you kiss and resist me
it's my thrill
it's my wonder
it's my will
it's my way home
I'm right where I always dreamed I would be
I can't change
change...
change...
(woah)

Wake up and talk to me
it's a long time since last night
I know we said things, the saddest things
and I'm not sure it was wise
when the morning's sad
you don't look back
and you sure don't look ahead
the morning sad
you know, the morning sad
the morning sad
never had it so bad
never had it so bad
I'm writing desperate songs
while you're fast asleep inside
I could try to sing
(I could try to bide my time to wake up)
until it rings
but my voice comes out uptight
when the morning's sad
you don't relax
you'll be ??? your mind
the morning sad
you know the morning sad
the morning sad
never had it so bad
never had it so bad
I tried a little
I tried a lot
I'm not a window

and you've seen through everything I've got
oh, I don't think that I'll be safe
until everyone's awake
everybody, everybody, everybody, yeah...
so wake up and talk to me
such a long time since last night
I know we said things, the maddest things
and I'm not sure who was right
when the morning's sad
you won't attack
cause you're much to weak to bite
the morning sad
you know the morning sad
the morning sad
never had it so bad
never had it so bad
never had it so bad
never had it so bad
never had it so bad
never had it so bad
never had it so bad
never had it so bad
never had it so bad
no...
never had it so bad
yeah, yeah, yeah...
never had it so bad

Found a place where we can talk
I found a way to reach a little ground
keep your castle in my sandbox
build it up so we can burn it down
anyway I love my man
love to keep him spinning round and round
keep him feeling love for my hand
any way to turn him inside out
I don't wanna go down like the sunlight
I don't wanna go out like the moonlight
I don't wanna be found at the sound of the bell
the sound of the bell
the sound of the bell
meet me up and down again
every time is sweeter than the last
once you get a taste of impact
you're always hungry for the crash
I don't wanna go down like the sunlight
I don't wanna go out like the moonlight
I don't wanna be found at the sound of the bell

the sound of the bell
the sound of the bell
and this is everything
I have loved
yeah, I have loved
break...
my...
heart...
down, I don't wanna go down like the sunlight
I don't wanna go out like the moonlight
I don't wanna be found at the sound of the bell
the sound of the bell
the sound of the bell
I don't wanna go down like the sunlight
I don't wanna go out like the moonlight
I don't wanna be found at the sound of the bell
the sound of the bell
the sound of the bell
yeah...
(I don't wanna be found in the sunshine
I don't wanna be dim like a night light
I don't wanna be down like the sunlight
I don't wanna go out like the moonlight...)

When you've had enough
When you've got it bad enough and you can't let go
When it comes to blows
And you start to overflow
And you can't get home
It's a subtle kind of cruel
It taps my spine here
I'm drawing a line
I'm asking please
Don't you want to be happy with me?


I'm afraid if you don't come around soon i'll turn sadder than you ever were
And you'll learn loneliness is worse


You've got to try
December's all alone and he's calling me on the phone
But he sounds so cold
He says he loves me so
But how would i ever know?
Certain words grow old
It's a vicious kind of catch
It sides me blind now

I'm out of my mind
I want to scream
Don't you want to be happy with me?


I'm afraid if you don't come around soon i'll turn sadder than you ever were
And you'll learn loneliness is worse


You've got to try
Love liked me long ago
It had a way of making everyone the same
But now the angels must laugh and sigh
To hear me pleading with you
Needing this you this way
Oh why don't you want to be happy with me?


I'm afraid if you don't come around soon i'll turn sadder than you ever were
And you'll learn loneliness is worse


You've got to try to stay mine all the way

Didn't notice I was gone
cause you were tying up your arm
oh...
and when I stand on my head
you never react
I can't get you to crack
I can't get you to crack
not one fucking smile
and when it comes right down to it
I'm gonna run right back to him
I want a peace mapped out
cause I really love his stoneface, oh
I really love his stoneface, oh
I really love it
a sneaky ?god? has got my man, man
that kind of love don't understand
him
oh, oh
and when I swallow my gum
you never react
I can't get you to crack
I can't get you to crack
not one fucking smile
and when it comes right down to it
I'm gonna run right back to him

I want a peace mapped out
cause I really love his stoneface, oh
I really love his stoneface, oh
I really love it
swallow hard, until you
I'll be the one to thrill you
I'll be the first to kill you
and if you won't die, I will
when I shortsheet the bed
you never react
I can't get you to crack
I can't get you to crack
I can't get you to crack
I can't get you to crack
I can't get you to crack
not one fucking smile
and when it comes right down to it
I'm gonna run right back to him
I want a piece knocked out of him
I really love his stoneface, oh
I really love his stoneface, oh
I really love it

(woohoooo
woohoooo
woohoooo
woohoooo)
Waiting for
opportunity to strike
I have been your biggest fan
what a tour
a little blow to cure your fright
that's what it takes to trap a man

I am not the desert plant

Sleep little flea
Little boy
Me a freak
Am i clean?
I feel like men
I feel like boys
I think i'm peeling the ringing in my ears from playing too loud


I hear the ocean
I hear the crowd
I'm disconnected
I am unattached
An unmade bed makes me feel like a failure
Bedroom eyes lead to blurry vision


And the ringing in my ears from playing too loud


I hear the ocean
I hear the crowd
Too pale
Too sick
Too scrawny
But i'll sleep here anyway
And the sheets smell like bodies
Not mine
Not yours
It's two a.m. and it's quiet again
Where's my lip gloss?

Seether is neither loose nor tight.
Seether is neither black nor white.
I tried to keep her on a short leash,
I tried to calm her down.
I tried to ram her into the ground, yeah.

Can't fight the seether
Can't fight the seether
Can't fight the seether
I can't see her till I'm foaming at the mouth

Seether is neither big nor small.
Seether is the center of it all.
I tried to rock her in my cradle,
I tried to knock her out.
I tried to cram her back in my mouth, yeah.

Can't fight the seether
Can't fight the seether
Can't fight the seether
I can't see her till I'm foaming at the mouth

Keep her down, boiling water,
Keep her down, what a lovely daughter.
Oh, she is not born like other girls,
But I know how to conceive her.
Oh she may not look like other girls,
But she's a snarl-toothed seether, seether!

Can't fight the seether
Can't fight the seether
Can't fight the seether
I can't see her till I'm foaming at the mouth
Seether

Can't fight the seether
Can't fight the seether
Can't fight the seether
I can't see her till I'm foaming at the mouth
Yeah.

Yellow baby, a yellow baby is a bad sign.
But I don't mind, I don't mind.
Ohh, Forsythia.

Spider monkey, a spider monkey is a good lie.
But I don't know why.
Ohh, Forsythia, Oh-ohh.

I don't mind sitting in the way, way back.
I don't mind lying to my friends.
One thing about Forsythia,
She comes around and I get lost
Against her yellow I'm no longer me.

Yellow daisy, a dandelion or a pussy willow,
It's a different thing.
Oh-oh, Forsythia. Forsythia. Forsythia.

One thing about Forsythia,
She comes around and I get lost
Against her yellow I'm no longer me.

One thing about Forsythia...
There's one thing about Forsythia...

That was a time for falling
I knew you well.
There was no time for calling
Me when you fell.
This is a time to take cover
In a wishing well.
Summer was blowing all over me
When you fell.
Sailors can take all the breathing
Out of the sail.
I took a trip when you needed me...
When you fell,
Waters were driving me
To a deep place;
I close my eyes to see
Your sweet face.
A coke inside me,
I slept in hell...
Angels can be so deceiving
When they love you well.
Did you think you would be leaving me?
These are some lavender flowers
In a broken shell;
They comfort me ever since the day when you fell.
When you fell,
Waters were dancing me
In a dark place,
I close my eyes to see
Your determined face,
My secret inside me
I slept in hell...
This a time for believing
In fairy tales -
One in which you are brought back to me.
Wolf, I cried wolf.
Wolf, I cried wolf.
Wolf, I cried wolf.

I wear my patent leather shoes
And my golden fleeces,
A feather in my hair for you
And then I fall to pieces
At your celebration (oh-oh, oh-oh)
Celebration (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
Celebration (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
Celebrate you.

We're quiet as two mannequins
Feasting on silences.
We wait for Christmas to begin
To see the cracking faces.
I tip my glass and toast to you,
The blood spills on the carpet
At your celebration (oh-oh, oh-oh)
Celebration (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
Celebration (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
Celebrate you.

And in the dream you held a gun;
You killed off all who hurt you
And left me there the only one
Who would not dare desert you.
I'm safe here growing in the shade,
Away from all your brightness.
I lost my innocence today
When I learned how to write this.

Tonight my nightgown is in knots.
I toss and turn in your honor.
I'll never know just what I have got
As long as you're my father.
And I'll keep searching here for you,
I'll clean out every corner.

It's not my fault.
It's not my fault. (celebrate you)
It's not my fault. (celebrate you)
It's not my fault. (celebrate you)
It's not my fault.

Twice bitten, twice baked.
Twice led down the same mistake.
Try me on a Saturday, try me.
Try me.

Fine fool for a holiday
Slow sun in a Spanish way
One heart for one week of May, why me?
Why me?

Twice given to yesterday
Right for a foray with fate.
Fly me home to heaven's gate, fly me.
Fly me. Fly...

Twice bitten, twice baked.
Twice led down the same mistake.
Try me on a Saturday, try me.
Try me.
Try me, try me.

Be my blind.
Be it all the time.
Be it night or day,
Take my sun away, away.

Levolor, which of us is blind?
Levolor, left me in the dark.
Levolor, I can't see a thing but you,
Is it morning?

Blind me please,
I am on my hands and knees.
I can only pray
Take my sun away, away.

Levolor, which of us is blind?
Levolor, left me in the dark.
Levolor, I can't see a thing but you,
Is it morning?

It is time.
It is time (oh-oh).

Levolor, which of us is blind?
Levolor, left me in the dark.
Levolor, I can't see a thing but you,
Is it morning?

Levolor, which of us is blind?
Levolor, left me in the dark.
Levolor, I can't see a thing but you,
Is it morning?

Levolor, Levolor, Levolor, Levolor...

You're so wonderful, I adore you,
I adore you, I adore you, Victrola.

You're so audio, don't remove me,
To a movie, I am grooving, Victrola.

Ahhh... Happy New Year
Ahhh... Happy New Year
Ahhh... Happy New Year
Ahhh...
Ahhh...
Ahhh...
Ahhh... Happy New Year
Ahhh...

You're my winter love,
I can lie here
With you so near
We both live here
Happy New Year,
You're my sweet dear Victrola
Victrola-ahhh-ahhh.

Flying, when all I want to do is die.
Feels like you're flyin',
Oh God, I wish that I could fly.
You want to lift me up,
But you don't know, and you don't see
I'm stuck in my ways, stuck in my ways, oh.
Breathing, when all I want to do is drown.
You keep on breathing and I keep on sinking down, oh, oh.
You want to lift me up,
But you don't know, and you don't see
I'm stuck in my ways, stuck in my ways.
I'm stuck in my ways, oh.

You want to lift me up,
But you don't know, and you don't see
I'm stuck in my ways, stuck in my ways.
I'm stuck in my ways.
I'm stuck in my ways, oh.

I'm afraid I will never change.
It's okay, I am not ashamed.
I can say that my bed is made.
You can bend me, shape me any way.
You can bend me, shape me any way you want me.

I maintain I am not in pain.
How I try not to place the blame.
I came late to an early game.
You can bend me, shape me any way.
You can bend me, shape me any way.
You can bend me, shape me any way.
You can bend me, shape me any way you want me.

When I was five, I took a dive.
When I was ten, I walked again.
When I was fifteen, I kept my motor clean.
When I was twenty, I got plenty.

When I was twenty-five...
When I was twenty-five...

This is my favorite disease,
I am sleeping in his dreams.
And the TV is on
It is seeping into me
It is guiding my dreams
It is only three
So its Jeopardy

You can go and burst my tiny bubble
Blow me off without a care
But I am sleeping where I want to.

This is my favorite time.
I can sleep until the phone rings
And I doubt that it will.

You can go and burst my tiny bubble
Blow me off without a care
But I am sleeping where I want to

Down to the Earth I fell
With dripping wings
Heavy things won't fly
And the sky might catch on fire
And burn the axis of the world that's why
I prefer a sunless sky
To the glittering and stinging in my eyes

(chorus)
Oh I feel so alive
This is all I wanna feel tonight
Oh I feel so alive
Tonight and the rest of my life

Gleaming in the dark sea
I'm as light as air
Floating there breahtlessly
When the dream disloves I open
Up my eyes I realize that
Everything is shoreless sea
A weightlessness is passing over me

(chorus)

Everything is waves and stars
The universe is resting in my arms

(chorus X 2)
