I've been locked out I've been locked in But I always seem to come back again When you're in that room What do you do? I know that I will have you in the end
And the clouds they are crying on you And the birds are offering up their tunes In a shack as remote as a mansion You escape into a place where nothing moves
I've been locked out And I know we're through But I can't begin to face up to the truth I waited so long for the walls to crack But I know that I will one day have you back
And the hills are as soft as a pillow And they cast a shadow on my bed And the view when I look through my window Is an altarpiece I'm praying to for the living and the dead
Twin valley shines in the morning sun I send a message out to my only one
And I've been locked out and I know we're through But I can't begin to face up to the truth I waited so long for the walls to crack But I know that I will one day have you back
And I work with the bees and the honey And every night I circle like the moon And it's a act of simple devotion But it can take forever when you've got something to prove
She said I could never do that But I know you can, you are in my dream We are one person, not two of a kind And what was mine is now in your possession I could feel you underneath my skin As the wind rushed in, sent the kitchen table crashing She said, nobody move, or I'll bring the house down
I hardly know which way is up Or which way down People are strange, God only knows I feel possessed when you come round
It was one of those times wished I had a camera on me Six foot off the ground Well, I know how that sounds Look above you and beyond me too That kind of view don't need an explanation I'm not lying, not asking for anything I just want to be there when it happens again
I hardly know which way is up Or which way down People are strange God only knows I feel possessed when you come round
Whenever you invade my home Everything I know flies out the window It's above you and beyond me too I don't want an explanation But I'll be there when you bring the house down
I hardly know which way is up Or which way down People are strange God only knows I feel possessed when you come round People are strange I feel possessed when you come round
Kill eye tumbling come out of the sky Kill eye, a fiery retreat from the stars Kill eye, he came clambering over the wall Kill eye, halfway to Hell and beyond
I wanna be forgiven I wanna laugh with children Won't you ever forgive me? Please, please forgive me I wanna hug my mother And the sky above her I want the Earth to open up And hold me
Kill eye, shoot your way out of the bank Kill eye, watch the security guard Kill eye, separate a man from his life
I wanna be forgiven I wanna laugh with children I wanna ride the pony Be your one and only friend Yes, I will love you 'til the end
Kill eye, half way to Hell and beyond
I wanna hug my mother And the sky above her I want the Earth to open up I want the Earth to open up
You opened up your door I couldn't believe my luck you in your new blue dress taking away my breath the cradle is soft and warm couldn't do me no harm you're showing me how to give into temptation knowing full well the earth will rebel into temptation
A muddle of nervous words could never amount to betrayal the sentence is all my own the price is to watch it fail as I turn to go you looked at me for half a second with an open invitation for me to go
Into temptation knowing full well the earth will rebel into temptation safe in the wide open arms of hell
We can go sailing in climb down, lose yourself when you linger long into temptation right where you belong
The guilty get no sleep in the last slow hours of morning experience is cheap I should've listened to the warning but the cradle is soft and warm
Into temptation knowing full well the earth will rebel into your wide open arms no way to break the spell don't tell
I'd much rather have a caravan in the hills Than a mansion in the slums I'd much rather have a caravan in the hills Than a mansion in the slums When the taste of success only lasts you Half an hour or less, but it loves you when it comes And you laugh at yourself While you're bleeding to death
I'd much rather have a trampoline in my front room Than an isolation tank I wish I was a million miles away from the manager's door There is trouble at the bank You laugh at yourself As you go deep into debt Laugh at yourself While he's breathing down your neck
Who can stop me With money in my pocket? Sometimes I get it free The best of both worlds, the best of both worlds
I'd much rather have a caravan in the hills I'd much rather have a mansion in the hills Than a mansion in the slums Yeah, I'd much rather, what I mean is, would you mind if I had it all? I'll take it when it comes And you laugh at yourself While you're bleeding to death And somebody else is always Breathing down your neck Laugh at yourself While he's hanging over your head
While he's breathing down your neck It'll soon be over (best of both worlds) With a mansion, mansion (Best of both worlds) oh (Best of both worlds) it'll soon be over
When you come across the sea Me like a beacon guiding you to safety The sooner the better now And when you come the hills Will breathe like a baby Pulled up heaving from the bottom of the ocean The sooner the better now When you come to cover me with your kisses Fresh like a daisy chained up in a lion's den I'll know you by the thunderclap Pouring like rain of blood to my emotions
Chorus: And that is why I stumble to my knees And why underneath the heavens With the stars burning and exploding I know I could never let you down
When you come like an iceberg float in darkness Smashing my hull send me to the bottom of the sea I should know you better now When you come your majesty to entrap me Prince of light receding The sooner the better now And when you come to cover me With your kisses hard like armour The sooner the better now I'll know you by the thunderclap Pouring like a rain of blood to my emotions
(chorus)
She came out of the water Into my horizon Like a cumulo nimbus Coming in from a distance Burning and exploding Burning and exploding Like a slow volcano When you come Cover the ground with ashes When you come
Don't stand around Like friends at a funeral Eyes to the ground It could've been you And why do you weep For the passing of ages? You slip with the back of your hand, you're taking it out on the one you love I couldn't believe it
And we might still survive And rise up through the maze If you could change your life And never be the same
How long must I wait For you to release me? I pay for each mistake While you suffer in silence I could still have an easy life But the lie ain't worth the living Once more will I hear you say
That we might still survive And rise up through the maze If you could change your life And never be the same Never be the same
Don't stand around Like friends at a funeral Eyes to the ground Don't suffer in silence
'Cause we might still survive And rise up through the maze If you could change your life And never be the same (And every time I hear you) Never be the same (And every time I mess up) Never be the same Never be the same Never be the same
And every time I hear you And every time I mess up Never be, never be, never be, never be the same
Seal my fate I get your tongue in the mail No one is wise Until they see how it lies Love this life Don't wait 'til the next one comes Gonna pedal my faith The wheels are still turning round, turn round
And maybe the day will come When you'll never have to feel no pain After all my complaining Gonna love this life, gonna love this life Love this life, love this life
And so they threw you in jail Whatever you've done It was a million to one And don't you just love this life When it's holding you down? Gonna pedal my faith The wheels are still turning round, turn round
So maybe the day will come When you'll never have to feel no pain After all my complaining Gonna love this life, gonna love this life Gonna love this life, gonna love this life Gonna love
Here's something that you can do Even if you think that I hate you Stop your complaining Leave me defenseless When you love this life, gonna love this life Gonna love this life, though you'll never know why Gonna love this life, gonna love
Now, you're heading down to get someone Should've done what he had to do years ago The position is coming through All the people that you're standing on All the people that you're standing on
Now, you're heading down to be someone Someone that you've seen in a magazine Your premonition is coming true Oh, baby, you're not so green No, baby, you're not so green No, baby, you're nutso
CHORUS Sister madly waking up the dead Systematically stepping on my head 'Cause sister madly waking up the dead Systematically stepping on my head
Now, you're heading down to find something Something that you buried in your backyard The position is coming through From all the dirt that you're digging up From all the dirt that you're digging up
Now, you're heading down to be somewhere Somewhere you imagined in your wildest dream The opposition is coming through From all the people that you're standing on From all the people that you're standing on And now, you'd better take a firm hand
CHORUS
Now, you're heading down to get someone Someone that you should've had years ago The position is coming through All the people that you're standing on All the people that you're standing on You're hard to get a hand on
Oh, Hell, trouble is coming Out here in panic and alarm Black shapes gather in the distance Looks like it won't take long
The first drops land on the window The first sign that there's something wrong Light rain and a head full of thunder Which way, which way
Two days 'til I get to you I'll be late if I ever get through Where I go there'll be no kind welcome Coming down upon me
Time will keep me warm, feel my face Now, the insects swarm in the lowlands (lowlands) Fear will take the place of desire And we will fan the flames on high Try for Heaven's sake
The sky fell underneath a blanket The Sun sank as the miles went by Sit back with your head on the pillow When you remember it makes you cry
Ghost cars on the freeway Like friends that you thought you had One by one, they're disappearing
Time will keep me warm, feel my face Now, the insects swarm in the lowlands (lowlands) Fear will take the place of desire And we will fan the flames on high
Not everyone in New York would pay to see Andrew Lloyd Webber May his trousers fall down as he bows to the queen and the crown I don't know what tune that the orchestra played But it went by me sickly and sentimental
Can I have another piece of chocolate cake? Tammy Baker's got a lot on her plate Can I buy another cheap Picasso fake? Andy Warhol must be laughing in his grave
The band of the night take you to ethereal heights over dinner And you wander the streets never reaching the heights that you seek And the sugar that dripped from the violins' bow Made the children go crazy, put a hole in the tooth of a hag
Can I have another piece of chocolate cake? Tammy Baker must be losing her faith, yeah Can I buy another cheap Picasso fake? Andy Warhol must be laughing in his grave
And the dogs are on the road, we're all tempting fate Cars shooting by with no number plates And hear comes Mrs. Hairy Legs
I saw Elvis Presley walk out of a Seven Eleven And a woman gave birth to a baby and then bowled 257 The excess of fat on your American bones Will cushion the impact as you sink like a stone
Can I have another piece of chocolate cake? Tammy Baker, Tammy Baker Can I buy another cheap Picasso fake? Cheap Picasso, cheap Picasso fake Can I have another piece of chocolate cake? Kathy Straker, boy, could she lose some weight Can I buy another slice of real estate? Liberace must be laughing in his grave
Can I have another piece of chocolate cake? Can I have another piece of chocolate cake? Can I have another piece of chocolate cake? Can I have another piece of chocolate cake?
Ice will melt, water will boil You and I can shake off this mortal coil It's bigger than us You don't have to worry about it
Ready or not, here comes the drop You feel lucky when you know where you are Y'know, it's gonna come true Here in your arms, I remember
It's only natural That I should want to be there with you It's only natural That you should feel the same way, too
It's easy when you don't try going on first impressions Man in a cage has made his confession Now, you've seen me at my worst And it won't be the last time I'm down there
I want you to know I feel completely at ease Read me like a book That's fallen down between your knees Please, let me have my way with you
It's only natural That I should want to be there with you It's only natural That you should feel the same way, too
It's circumstantial It's nothing written in the sky And we don't even have to try
But we'll be shaking like mud Buildings of glass Sink into the bay They'll be under the rocks again You don't have to say I know you're afraid
It's only natural That I should want to be there with you It's only natural That you should feel the same way, too
It's circumstantial It's something I was born to It's only natural Can I help it if I want to?
I'm really close tonight And I feel like I'm moving inside her Lying in the dark I think that I'm beginning to know her Let it go I'll be there when you call Whenever I fall at your feet And you let your tears rain down on me Whenever I touch your slow turning pain
You're hiding from me now There's something in the way that you're talking The words don't sound right But I hear them all moving inside you Go, I'll be waiting when you call
Whenever I fall at your feet And you let your tears rain down on me Whenever I touch your slow turning pain
The finger of blame has turned upon itself And I'm more than willing to offer myself Do you want my presence or need my help Who knows where that might lead
I fall at your feet And you let your tears rain down on me Whenever I fall
Watch out big ships are waiting Salt frozen on your cheek I saw a girl and boy arriving And a steamer put out to sea
Tall tree Stand in the distance Remember When you were green Don't wipe The salt from your skin You must keep running the distance
Sun sleeps on misty morning Light years from channel three I feel halfway to zero Call me a hero I might just agree
Tall tree Stand in the distance Remember When you were green Don't wipe The salt from your skin You must keep running the distance
And the roses you grow Have a powerful scent They'll be breaking your heart By the morning
I feel halway to zero Call me a hero I might just agree
Tall tree Stand in the distance Remember When you were green Don't wipe The salt from your skin Tall tree Tall tree Don't wipe The salt from your skin You must keep running the distance Tall tree
Walking 'round the room singing Stormy Weather at 57 Mt. Pleasant St. Now it's the same room but everything's different You can fight the sleep but not the dream
Things ain't cookin' in my kitchen Strange affliction wash over me Julius Caesar and the Roman Empire Couldn't conquer the blue sky
There's a small boat made of china Going nowhere on the mantlepiece Do I lie like a loungeroom lizard Or do I sing like a bird released
Everywhere you go you always take the weather with you
Dull, dull grey The colour of our times Cool, cool space That I still hope to find Far beyond the veil The sound of whispers and moans Slow, time bomb The clamour of the street I hear this town It never goes to sleep And I will catch the taxi driver Weeping like a wounded beast Then I wake up in your room To share one piece of your life When tomorrow comes we may not be here at all Without your whispers and moans cos here you come to carry me home Here you come to carry me home Love that sound Time erase Tension wheels Cool heels Wont ya come on open the bid fore too long Then I wake up in your room To share one piece of your life Id give anything to be a fly upon the wall And hear your whispers and moans Id like to hear your whispers and moans Here you come to carry me We are the mirrors Are the mirrors of each other in a lifetime of suspicion Cleansed in a moment of recognition You gave your life for it Worth its weight in gold And growing empires and art collectors And alans sound investments Will one day be forgotten One day be forgotten, yeah.
Four seasons in one day Lying in the depths of your imagination Worlds above and worlds below The sun shines on the black clouds Hanging over the domain Even when you're feeling warm The temperature could drop away Like four seasons in one day
Smiling as the shit comes down You can tell a man from what he has to say Everything gets turned around And I will risk my neck again
You can take me where you will Up the creek and through the mill Like all the things you can't explain Four seasons in one day
Blood dries up Like rain, like rain Fills my cup Like four seasons in one day
It doesn't pay to make predictions Sleeping on an unmade bed Finding out wherever there is comfort There is pain Only one step away Like four seasons in one day
Blood dries up Like rain, like rain Fills my cup Like four seasons in one day
What'll I tell him When he comes to me for absolution? Wouldn't you know it? Hope I don't make a bad decision
'Cause I'd like to believe That there is a God Why sinful angels suffer for love I'd like to believe in the terrible truth In the beautiful life I could know you But in this town I can't get arrested If you know me Why don't you tell me what I'm thinking?
CHORUS Hey, don't look now But there goes God In his sexy pants and his sausage dog And he can't stand Beelzebub 'Cause he looks so good in black, in black
CHORUS
(There goes God) bring it on home, bring it on home (There goes God) (There goes God) (There goes God) make yourself strong (There goes God)
(There is a God) It's knows it for sure (There goes God) check it hard enough to stand (There goes God) hey, I'd like to shake his hand (There goes God) whoo, make yourself whole (There goes God) yeah
Fork lightning in your hall Break the skin when you break the fall I'll be the one to fix it up Love children of the new age Just a hippy with a weekly wage There's no rebellion just a chance to be lazy CHORUS When fame is in your blood You follow the science of love Wave the magic wand And hang on The rest of us are living in a daze Keep thinkin' 'bout the choice to be made Here come the handmaidens of end time Lost treasure from a primitive race All the lives written on your face Can't fill the canyons of your mind Chorus Now you've changed and jumbled the pieces You've changed but you were better off before You talked to a roomful of strangers Here come the handmaidens of end time Chorus And all of your spells will break And all of your stars will fall So look out for number one Fame is in your blood
