Paul Gilbertson

Rain, rain’s floating down again
Surround your mind
Soft cloud, take me around again
On your rain
My dreams tell me everything
Surprise around
Call out your name
I need help again
For all love brigade
What you was, said is sure
Running on the seventh floor
Do it all, let it slide
Breathe yourself goodbye
See it all through the wall
Living outside again
Need a long way to go
Said you our escape
I died, when you fall again
Say out
I lied
I love feeling small again
All around, satisfied

Do you really wanna go on like this
Do you really wanna go on like this
Do you really wanna go on like this
Get to the bottom of the well
Do you really wanna go on like this
Do you really wanna go on like this
Do you really wanna go on like this
Get to the bottom of the well

I'm building a fire
A flame for always
I'm living on fire
A flame for always
I'm living like fire
A flame for always
I'm building a fire
A flame for always
I'm living like fire
A flame for always

How long to go
Before this flame dies
How long to burn
Before I blaze away
I blaze away

So long to all my friends
And those who taunted me
To those who lead me on
To those who...

That’s you and me, folks

Working in different mine shifts
Working in different minds

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

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.

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

I could escape this feeling, with my China Girl
I feel a wreck without my, little China Girl
I hear her heart beating, loud as thunder
Saw the stars crashing

I'm a mess without my, little China Girl
Wake up mornings where's my, little China Girl
I hear heart's beating, loud as thunder
I saw they stars crashing down

I feel an tragic like an Marlon Brando
When I look at my China Girl
I could pretend that nothing really meant too much
When I look at my China Girl

I stumble into town just like a sacred cow
Visions of swastikas in my head
Plans for everyone
It's in the white of my eyes

My little China Girl
You shouldn't mess with me
I'll ruin everything you are
I'll give you television
I'll give you eyes of blue
I'll give you men who want to rule the world

And when I get excited
My little China Girl says
Oh baby just you shut your mouth
She says ... sh
She says
She says

And when I get excited
My little China Girl says
Oh baby just you shut your mouth
And when I get excited
My little China Girl says
Oh baby just you shut your mouth
She says ... sh
She says

Oh oh oh ohoo little china girl
Oh oh oh ohoo little china girl
Oh oh oh ohoo little china girl
Oh oh oh ohoo little china girl
Oh oh oh ohoo little china girl

I can't believe this happening.
I held it back and now it swings.
Just lead me on.
You know the way.

I know the game
I know the pain
I've been dreaming of gold
I've been dreaming of fame
I've been dreaming of change

Dreaming up tomorrow
Dreaming up tomorrow
Tomorrow.

I have no fear, I have no shame,
But everyone is on the game.
They talk of dreams, they walk in sleep
I'm half away but in too deep

I've been dreaming of fame
I've been dreaming of gold
I've been dreaming of change

Dreaming up tomorrow
Dreaming up tomorrow
Tomorrow.

America is dreaming us.
In a hostage's hands there'll be no fuss.
A messy dream, a dream of youth,
A dream of wealth, no room for truth.

I can see all these preachers and they're standing on next to me.
A hand in the hand and they're waving at me furiously
And I don't know why
No, I don't know why.

I'm standing on the corner and this man is coming up to me
With Bible at his hand and he is bashing at me furiously.
He has a soapbox on his head and says that god is dead to me
I don't know why No,
I don't know why.

I've been dreaming of fame
I've been dreaming of gold
I've been dreaming of change

Dreaming up tomorrow
Tomorrow.

It's a beautiful day in my neighbourhood
Everything is great here in America
It's a beautiful day in my neighbourhood
Everything is great here in America
Everything is great here in America
This is the best day of our lives

It's a beautiful day in my neighbourhood
Everything is great here in America
This is the best day of our lives

It's a beautiful day in my neighbourhood
Everything is great here in America

It's a beautiful day in my neighbourhood
Down, down, down

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.

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

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

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

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

You might as well surrender now
You'll never hold that stance
With all my words
I can't find one
To help you understand
It's not too late
Take up the cup
Put down your weapons and choose

But you say life's so unfair
Oh you say life's so unfair
You can ill aford to hold to this views
You need something to blame

But it's you
Yes it's you
It's your truth

Someone made you
I don't know ,if you're sick
I confort
You run away
My simpathy
You twist it
Your reflex gets in the way

You mother me
I son you
You act up
I can't get through

This foosteps
So ancient
In your eyes
I'm your infant

Your ancient
Full circle
In my eyes
You're my infant

Dead ball in our court
There's a dead ball in our court

We just say life's so unfair
Yes you say life's so unfair
You need something to blame

But it's you
Yes it's you
It's your truth

I wish I could create myself
A kool machine designed to help
Not always hurting
Just plug me in and do the rounds
Impress your friends
Save yourself pounds
I'll not be wanting
I wish that things could be that way
But every dog must have its say
The orchestra's tuning
I understand your suffering
I felt the same sting in my heart
That's why I'm singing

Drifting away as lovers do
Heads you win and tails I lose
Nothing to say
much less to do
Unhappy me unhappy you

I know you want it all to end
Transform a love into a friend
Magicians can do
Gut feelings come
Gut feelings go
Like rivers we have no control
They just keep flowing
Yeah, I wish I could create myself
A cool machine or someone else
A lot less knowing

Drifting away as lovers do
Heads you win
And tails I lose
Nothing to say
Much less to do
Unhappy me
Unhappy you
Love can heal
And love can sting
Heads you lose
And tails I win
Unhappy me
Unhappy you
Nothing to say
And much less to do

There's nothing to say
I get in the way
Unable to break obsession
There's nothing to say
I get in the way
Still unable to break obsession

Baby's on the lamb tonight
Her skies all full of stars
And love's just something that always goes wrong
That looks and smokes like Ava Gardner

Baby's gonna blow your lights
Adjust your back - lit charm
And if she deems to touch your heart
You can tune into your senses

Baby's coming alive to her wild side
She can burn down the lie to the dream

Baby trades you blow for blow
Crowns you like a queen
But if you stroke her long enough
Baby turns to cream

Baby's neptune's in your moon
Venus in your third
She's in bloom from June through June
Says, ";love's no noun. love's a reverb";

Baby's coming alive to her wild side
She can burn down the lie to the dream

I'm a boomerang
In the outback
Keep your throwing arm steady
So I get home
I'm a vampire bat
Out in Shanghai
Haven't eaten in four days
I've ordered in a Chinese takeaway

I show more than I hide
I care more than I cry
I'm a phonograph baby
My wires are live
And I'm in crisscross

Fine. I feel fine.

I'm a fortune cookie
Full of cheap advice
I'm a suicide rookie
Blowing last call

Show more than I hide
Care more than I can cry
I'm a phonograph baby
My wires are live
And I'm in crisscross

Fine. I feel fine.

Are you aching for the blade?
That's OK
We're insured

Are you aching for the grave?
That's OK
We're insured

We're getting away with it, all messed up
Getting away with it, all messed up
That's the living..x2

Daniel's saving grace
She's out in deep water
Hope he's a good swimmer

Daniel plays his ace
Deep inside his temple
He knows how to surf her

We're getting away with it, all messed up
Getting away with it, all messed up
That's the living

We're getting away with it, all messed up
Getting away with it, all messed up
That's the living
...

Daniel drinks his weight
Drinks like Richard Burton
Dances like John Travolta
Now

Daniel's saving grace
He was all for drowning
Now they live like dolphins

We're getting away with it, all messed up
Getting away with it, all messed up
That's the living

We're getting away with it, all messed up
We're getting away with it, all messed up
That's the living
...

We're getting away with it, all messed up
We're getting away with it, all messsed up
That's the living

Are we getting away with it?
All messed up
Getting away with it, all messed up
That's the living
That's the living

No more you choose to sue for peace
Where once for war
The mind ingrained can't hear the call
You have so many friends cheering you along
Don't turn a deaf ear to their song

As your world is turning you're holding on
Give it away, give it away
Holding on to right or wrong won't serve you

We keep on fighting to maintain our father's place
This time line never finds an end in revenge
Here comes an open heart to blow it all away

As your world is burning you're holding on
Give it away, give it away
Holding onto right and wrong won't serve you
Won't serve you

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

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 ?

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

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

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

I've been digging this grave, but now that it's made
I see that black is one hell of a colour
Want to break out so I start to shout
But the mortician's returned to his parlour

Black hole

Wrapped in my shroud upstairs, the music's so loud
That I can't concentrate on my sorrow
Let down my hair and find something to wear
And then dance myself into tomorrow

Black hole

I'm in a hole here and all I can see
Are these grey walls that are closing in on me
Throw me a ladder, lend me an arm
Beam me up Scotty, lift me from harm

Oh why, why deep holes?
Oh I love my holes
Black hole

If the weather would change these clouds might blow away
And my body'd be wrapped up in sunshine
I want out of this wind that is wearing me thin
Blasting my flesh to the marrow

Why dig holes?
Why deep holes?
Black hole

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!

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."

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

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

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

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

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

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?

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

Well I made me a list of lovers from A to infinity
But I couldn't remember the names of half of them
I remembered bits of bodies and what they did for me
And whether or not I got it up and made them hum

Oh, confusion
Confusion reigned over me
Oh, confusion
It bleeds and breathes and breeds all over me

Well you used your mouths in ways I only dreamt of
You walked the line between acrobat and nun
You took me to the edge in public places
Then took me home to share me with your mum

Oh, confusion
Confusion reigned over me
Oh, confusion
It bleeds and breathes and breeds all over me

I lost my mind in a hotel room in Texas
All I recall is an awful face and features
And when you came you transformed into some creature
Now I'm strange
I'm so strange

Oh, confusion
Confusion reigned over me

Oh, confusion
Confusion reigned over me
Oh, confusion
It bleeds and breathes and breeds all over me

Everybody wants to be happy
Everybody wants more money
Everybody wants more loving
Everybody wants the same thing

I came across the border through the east and the west divide
The land between the trenches was patrolled by the deaf and the blind
The blind were shouting 'Listen!'
While the deaf said 'Can't you see?'
Somewhere deep in no man's land some man has lost a key

I open up into this mystery
I have seen
I have seen
I have seen

There's centuries of fighting so I brought myself a gun
The salesman called it 'freedom' so my enemy bought a bigger one
I'm saving up for a missile that will shoot him up with love
Now his finger's on my button and my hand is in his glove

I opened up into this mystery
Every key can lock you up or set you free
I believe that there is magic in this mystery
I have seen
I have seen
I have seen

Everybody wants to be happy
Everybody wants more money
Everybody wants the same thing
I have seen
I have seen
I have seen

I have seen
I have seen
I have seen

I have seen
I have seen
I have seen

I have seen
I have seen
I have seen

Here she comes with a gun in her hand
A look in her eyes says you don't understand
And the moon is full
What you gonna do
A gun in her hand makes her feel like a man
Uh uh o

Her man is a monkey we've all agreed
His woman's divine or at least she's a queen
But if you mess with this angel
The harpy arrives
Talons and wings and a cute 45

Madder than love
Madder than love

He's only human, he's only male
Bound to stray bound to betrayal
The moon is rising it's a physical thing
Nothing can hold him not even a ring

She's only human, only female
Bound to victim bound to betrayal
The moon is rising it's a physical thing
She's only acting on the rite of spring

Here she comes with a gun in her hand
A look in her eyes says she don't understand
And the moon is full
What are you gonna do
A gun in her hand makes her feel like a man
Uh uh o

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

Wooooowooooowoooowooo
Wooooowooooowoooowooo

All this frustration
I can't meet all my desires
Strange conversation
Self copntrol has just expired
All an illusion
Only in my head you don't exist
Who re you foolin'
Don't need a shrink or an exorcist

Lalalala
lalalala
lalalala
la

Wooooowooooowoooowooo

Show me the movie of who you are and where you're from
Born of frustration
Caught upon the webs you spun
Where's ther confusion
A vision of what life is like
Show the movie that doens't deal in black and white

Talk talk talkin 'bout who's to blame
But all that counts in how to change
Stop stop talkin 'bout who's to blame
When all that counts in how to change

Lalalala
lalalala
lalalala
la

All this frustration
All this frustration
Who put round eyes on a butterfly's wings
All this frustration
All this frustration
Who gave the leopard spots and taught the birds to sing
Born of frustration
Born of frustration

Wooooowooooowoooowooo
Wooooowooooowoooowooo

I'm living in the weeds where nothing is the way it seems
Where no one is who they need to be
Where nothing seems that real to me
'Bout time we filled our lives
Upon the walls of gold no solid ground
The world is spinnin' endlessly
We're clinging to our own beliefs

Born of frustration
Born of frustration

Wooooowooooowoooowooo
Wooooowooooowoooowooo

There's a fight, there's a fight, there's a fight
And the rage is growin'
You have pushed me through too many windows and too many doors
You have torn all the joy from my heart and my body shows it
The only beats you allow around here are the beat of war
Let's have a party
Bring a gun
Bring a gun

Don't go out with that smile tonight or you might get arrested
Get a license for that grin or they'll lock you away
If you show that you're happy inside then you're gonna get busted
The only law we allow around here is an organized raid
Let's have a party
Bring a gun
Bring a gun

What are you gonna do when the muscle wont move when they are lockin you up
Blockin the light
How many words will you waste on the telephone
What are you gonna do when the muscle wont move when they are lockin you up
How many words will you waste on the telephone
Lets lets lets
Have a party
And you can bring your gun
And you can bring your shinny new helicopter

Bring a gun
Bring a gun
Lets have a party
Bring your gun

Operator, operator, operator, operator
Operator, operator, operator, operator
Operator, the lines are down, are down
And I'm a traitor, traitor to a beautiful cause
God made me to her own design
Bad planning, too many flaws

How long will it take to get used to me
How long will it take to get used to me

Don't wait that long
Won't wait that long
Don't wait that long
Don't wait that long

Oh yes I love you
But today I could hate you, I could hurt you
Because we're joined at the heart
Beats faster, hits harder than a boxer
When we are apart
Body language is an SOS
I don't understand how a fight starts
Not enough to believe in love
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know where we've gone wrong

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

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

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

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

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

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

Oh dear what can the matter be?

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.

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

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

She dreamt the scene the night before
She cast you in her mind
She made your face from clay and straw
Precious stones for your eyes

We cut the cord that brought you here
We left you on your own
We filled your head with wild ideas
Our beliefs led you on

We leave a trail that's always changed
You keep your hopes alive
This surface may seem calm enough
But underneath, underneath

We made you feel the way you are is wrong
We made you what you are
You are afraid
If you don't play the game, we'll make you change
Oh, I've changed

When you took me in your arms
I knew I'd revive
You breathe me in so deeply
You took my hand as the music began
I knew I could dance if you let me

Everybody knows your fate honey
Everybody knows your fate
Everybody knows your fate honey
Everybody knows your fate

The snake is poised and is held by your noise
You charm the life out of demons
You kept me up there with a web of your hair
My spun my life into meaning

Everybody knows your fate honey
Everybody knows your fate
Everybody knows your fate honey
Everybody knows your fate

I've seen your stars so many lives
You seem to shine forever
Do you remember the time
Do you remember the time
Our memories held us together

Everybody knows your fate honey
Everybody knows your fate
Everybody knows your fate honey
Everybody knows your fate

Everybody hopes for so much healin
See your face in windows
Everybody knows your fate honey
Everybody knows your fate
Everybody knows your fate honey
Everybody knows your fate

Are you open for trade
Your salvation
For some fame
For some thrill
Is a body of words
For your inspection
You can trace my concerns
Trace my concerns
My concern

I've been looking for truth
At the cost of living
I've been afraid of what's before mine eyes
Every answer found
Begs another question
The further you go, the less you know
The less I know

I can feel you face
Gonna make it mine
I can be the man I see in your eyes
Can you take my weight
Are we both too small
Know each other well
We've met before

Will we grow together
Will it be a lie
If it lasts forever, hope I'm the first to die
Will you marry me
Can we meet the cost
Is the power of love
Worth the pain of loss
Can you pay the bill
Will he keep the change
Are you here for the party
Or are you here for the pain

I can feel the faith
Gonna make it mine
I can be the man I see in your eyes
Will it grow together
Will we be a lie
If it lasts forever, hope I'm the first to die
Hope I'm the first to die

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

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

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

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

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
