I want to be like you
I want to fly, fly, fly
Want you to take me to
All of your sky

Why don't you kneel me down
Why don't we try, try, try
'cause when we come around
That's when i fly

'cause i don't want to go under
It's only just begun
I want to be there when you come
I want to be there when you come

I want to be like you
I want to laugh and cry
About the things we do
Never ask why

'cause i don't want to go under
It's only just begun
I want to be there when you come
I want to be there when you come

I want to be like you
I want to fly, fly, fly
Want you to take me to
All of your sky

I want to paint the town
And drink it dry, dry, dry
And when the lights go down
I'll say goodbye

Through the rain and the thunder
I'm heading into the sun
I want to be there when you come
I want to be there when you come
(i want to be there)
I want to be there when you come
(i want to be there)
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la

I want to be like you
I want to fly, fly, fly
Want you to take me to
All of your sky

Why don't you kneel me down
Why don't we try, try, try
'cause when we come around
That's when i fly

'cause i don't want to go under
It's only just begun
I want to be there when you come
I want to be there when you come

I want to be like you
I want to laugh and cry
About the things we do
Never ask why

'cause i don't want to go under
It's only just begun
I want to be there when you come
I want to be there when you come

I want to be like you
I want to fly, fly, fly
Want you to take me to
All of your sky

I want to paint the town
And drink it dry, dry, dry
And when the lights go down
I'll say goodbye

Through the rain and the thunder
I'm heading into the sun

I want to be there when you come

I want to be there when you come
(i want to be there)

If I said I'd lost my way
Would you sympathize
Could you sympathize?
I'm jumbled up
Maybe I'm losing my touch
I'm jumbled up
Maybe I'm losing my touch
But you know I didn't have it anyway

Won't you come on down to my
Won't you come on down to my rescue

Things are wrong
Things are going wrong
Can you tell that in a song
I don't know what I want anymore
First I want a kiss and then I want it all

Won't you come on down to my
Won't you come on down to my rescue
Rescue, rescue, rescue

Things are wrong
Things are going wrong
Can you tell that in a song
Losing sense of those harder things
Is this the blues I'm singing?
Is this the blues I'm singing?
Is this the blues I'm singing?
Is this the blues I'm singing?

Won't you come on down to my
Won't you come on down to my rescue
Is this the blues I'm singing
Won't you come on down to my rescue

Won't you come on down to my
Won't you come on down to my
Won't you come on down to my
Won't you come on down to my
(Is this the blues I'm singing?)
Won't you come on down to my
(Rescue)
Won't you come on down to my
(Is this the blues I'm singing?)
(Rescue)
Won't you come on down to my
(Is this the blues I'm singing?)
(Rescue)
Won't you come on down to my
(Is this the blues I'm singing?)
(Rescue)
Won't you come on down to my
(Is this the, I'm singing)
Won't you come on down to my
(Is this the, I'm singing)

She floats like a swan
Grace on the water
Lips like sugar
Lips like sugar
Just when you think you've caught her
She glides across the water
She calls for you tonight
To share this moonlight

You'll flow down her river
She'll ask you and you'll give her
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses

She knows what she knows
I know what she's thinking
Sugar kisses
Sugar kisses
Just when you think she's yours
She's flown to other shores
To laugh at how you break
And melt into this lake

You'll flow down her river
But you'll never give her
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses

She'll be my mirror
Reflect what I am
A loser and a winner
The king of Siam
And my Siamese twin
Alone on the river
Mirror kisses
Mirror kisses

Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses

Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses

Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses

You said you could make it disappear
Make my pathway clean and clear
You said I was just a touch away
But I'm not even close
No, nowhere near
You said you could make it disappear
Make my pathway clean
And my pathway clear
How d'you want to go?
Should we go together?
I don't want to go
Gonna live forever
Live forever
Shadows in the fog are moving in
From the world outside
To my world within
I'm sucking on the dust that moves the air
The pieces move
But I'm still there
Shadows in the fog are moving in
From the world outside
To my world within
How d'you want to go?
Calm or stormy weather
If we've got to go
Let's go together
Together
You said you could make it disappear
Make my pathway clean and clear
You said I was just a touch away
But I'm not even close
No, I'm nowhere near
You said you could make it disappear
Make my pathway clean
And my pathway clear
How d'you want to go?
Should we go together?
I don't want to go
Gonna live forever
Live forever
Live forever
Live forever
Live forever

A sense of duty
was my one intention
and an ugly beauty
was my own invention
Pride a proud refusal
and I refuse
to need your approval
Too many seekers
Too few beacons
But through the fog
we'll keep on beaming

Through the crying hours
of your glitter years
all the living out
of your tinsel tears
and the midnight trains
I never made
'cos I'd already
played...the game

Everybody's
got their own good reason
why their favorite season
is their favorite season
Winter winners
and those summers sons
aren't good for everyone
aren't good for everyone
Spring has sprung
and autumns well done
so well done

And it's a better thing
that we do now
forgetting everything
the whys and hows
While you reminisce
about the things you miss
you won't be ready
to kiss...goodbye

The earth is a world
The world is a ball
A ball in a game
with no rules at all
And just as I wonder
at the beauty of it all
you go and drop it
and it breaks and falls

I'll never understand
why you thought I would
need to be reassured
and be understood
When I always knew
that your bad's my good
and I was ready
ready...to be loved

Born under Mars
With Jupiter rising
Fallen from stars
That lit my horizon

I'll never understand
why you thought I would
need to be reassured
and be understood
When I always knew
that your bad's my good
and I was ready
ready...to be

Through the crying hours
of your glitter years
all the living out
of your tinsel tears
and the midnight trains
I never made
'cos I'd already
played

it's a better thing
that we do now
forgetting everything
the whys and hows
While you reminisce
about the things you miss
you won't be ready
to kiss...goodbye

Jump right in
take the call
were you pushed
or did you fall?
Fell apart
Feeling low
happy ride
the merry-go

And I always hear them singing
and complaining about the world
but my chiming bells are ringing out
the word the word the word

Love rebounds
heart goes snap
Is she ever
coming back?
Let her down
break her fall
never ever
Felt so small

Chorus:
And I always hear them singing
and complaining about the world
and my chiming bells are ringing out
the word the word the word

Feeling good again
always hoped I would
never believed
that I ever could
Felling blue again
never wanted to
Under the weather
And it's over you

Over you (the hole in the holy)
(and the crack in our hearts)
Over you (it's love and love only)
(that sets our world apart)
Over you (worlds apart)
(joined at the heart)

Jump right in
take the call
Were you pushed
Or did you fall?
Fell apart
Feeling low
Happy ride
the merry-go

(chorus)

(repeat) Feeling good again...

Over you (the hole in the holy)
(and the crack in our hearts)
Over you (it's love and love only)
(the sets our worlds apart)

(repeat) Feeling good again...

Over you (and a dream is a means)
(to an end of the things)
Over you (that will tempt you away)
(From the path to the true way in)

(repeat) Feeling good again...

Over you (x2)

Buffalo and bison
bison and buffalo
Cannonball and rifle
Rifle and Cannonball
that's the way the thunder rumbles (x2)
Rumbles...

Down on your knees again
Saying please again yeah yeah yeah

Kangaroo and chipmonk
Chipmonk and kangaroo
Ballyhoo and bedbugs
bedbugs and ballyhoo
that's the way the bee bumbles (x4)
Bumbles...

Down on your kness again
Saying please again no no no
No

Down on your knees again
Saying please again
Down on you knees again
Saying please again no no no

Buffalo and bison
bison and buffalo
Cannonball and rifle
Rifle and Cannonball
that's the way the thunder rumbles (x4)
Rumbles Rumbles Rumbles

You say your proud to be
One of the people
hands on the money
and your feet on the ground
Shouting out loud
From the top of the steeple
Counting the flock while
collecting their pounds
all you theiving wheeler dealers
in the healing zone
giving me Fever Fever Fever Fever
down to my bones

Chorus:
I pray
and nothing happens
Jesus
it's all in my mind
You say
stop looking for answers
and reasons
they're all in your mind
all in you mind

Covered in flies
and smothered in lava
I can't scratch my itches
with these pumise stone hands
I dream of my days
as a desert farmer
living my life
On the fat of the sand
All you theiving wheeler dealers
in the healing zone
giving me Fever Fever Fever Fever
down to my bones

(chorus)

Stuck in a world
losing its way and wonder
I wonder what happened
to the world we knew
Splitting the atom
and feeling its thunder
Could never ever make me
Feel the way you do
You give me Fever Fever Fever Fever
down to my bones
Fever Fever Fever Fever
in the healing zone

(chorus)

The word went round
in no dream town
They shut us up
and the shutters down
The planes flew in
and laid the ground
We built upon
and spun around
God's one miracle
Lost in circles

Chorus:
On the march
Berlin to Bombers Bay
Traveling dark
on the roads to Mandalay

Cannon fire
came to call
Stood us up
and watched us fall
The way we were
and now outworn
Our costumes changed
to uniforms
Black black days
here to stay

On the march
Madrid to Bombers Bay
Traveling dark
on the road to Mandalay

Pack up the troubles and you'll all get by
Smile boys that's the style
Pack up your troubles and you'll all get by
Smile

They give us hope
and teach us well
with magic moons
that cast a spell
and hypnotise
and draw us in
I believe
I'm believing
God's one miracle
moves in circles

On the march
Berlin to Bombers Bay
Traveling dark
on the road

(chorus)

Black black days
where the flying fishes play
(x4) ...

She floats like a swan
grace on the water
lips like sugar
lips like sugar
just when you think you've caught her
she glides across the water
she calls for you tonight
to share this moonlight

You'll flow down her river
She'll ask you and you'll give her

Chorus:
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
Lips like sugar
sugar kisses

She knows what she knows
I know what she's thinking
sugar kisses
sugar kisses
just when you think she's yours
she's flown to other shores
to laugh at how you break
and melt into this lake

You'll flow down her river
but you'll never give her
(chorus)

She'll be my mirror
Reflect what I am
A loser and a winner
The King of Siam
and my Siamese twin
Alone on the river
Mirror kisses (x2)

(chorus x3)

I was standing
under sliver studded skies
In a forest burnig ashes
on the bonfires of our lives

As the sky fell down
I was lost and found
saw my world spin round
round and round

All the ghosts have gathered round me
come to tell me of a change
in the darkness that surrounds me
I am falling down again

On this haunted ground
I was lost and found

Chorus:
Lost
Lost and found
(x2)

She will tell you her cathedral
has no windows and no doors
and you know she doesn't need you
and that's why you want her more

As your heart melts down
you are lost and found

(chorus)

I was counting all the tombstones
of the buried boys and girls
as the wind blew in like ice
and froze this cemetery world

And we all fell down
we were lost and found
And the sun went down
we were lost and found

(chorus x2)

Out on a limb
did you see what the cat dragged in
take it on the chin
catching fire on a roof of tin

You've learnt to speak and you're professing
the right to teach us our direction
but I found out on close inspection
true imprefection

Chorus 1:
I'm looking for a new direction
Where in the world am I?
I took the word the word was resurrection
and then you took me out to climb

Chorus:
Higher and higher (x3)
Kissing the spires
higher and higher (x3)
Souls on fire

Inside of my head
I heard what the good Lord said
'Beware' he said
if you don't you might end up dead

You suck the air right out of me
but though you suck you cannot see
that life and living are not free
though you live you do not breathe

(chorus 1)

(chorus) ...

I have changed
but still my heart
remains intact
and true love stays
but will our hearts
retain their lack of

No sense and no direction
Who in the world am I?
I took the word the word was resurrection
and then you took me out to climb

(chorus...)

Start confessing (x2)

All my evils would be blessed
if to God I did confess
Wipe the slate and see if I
ate the bread and drank the wine
So as you're leaving I take possesion
just take the bottle and start confessing

One in a million
one and the same
looking for freedom
born to be tamed
Once in a lifetime
one of these days
gonna grab me a lifeline
swinging my way

I'm swimming out on a blue blue ocean
you're sailing out on a blue blue sea
Silhouettes and a vulture hoping
he's gonna pick the bones of you and me
You and me

Moonlight Starlight
Insight Out of sight
Something's certain
draw the curtains draw them

Take the night
When it calls
take the night
when it falls (x4)

You will I might
talking satellites
rockets comets
something's coming

Take the night
When it calls
take the night
when it falls (x2)
take the night
when it falls

Out out All out
In doubt Far out
wheels in motion
take it take it take it the potion

Take the night
When it calls
take the night
when it falls (x4)

Moonlight
Starlight
Insight
Out of sight

Take the night
When it calls
take the night
when it falls (x8)

When the night falls
it falls (x5)

Oh how the times have changes us
Sure and now uncertain
Men not devils have claimed us
Purity deserting
God's one miracle
lost in circles

Chorus:
All my all my life
revolves around
laughter and crying
as my life turns
round and round

Cannon fire burning
on the hillside
You and I are side by side
Listen
Tin soldiers playing our tune

(chorus)
and round

Songs for life's lost lovers
bitter sweet their healing
Their prayers prayed under covers
need not kneeling
God's one miracle
moves in circles

(chorus x2)
and round
and round

Hearts of fire
hearts of bone
beating stronger
beating home
where there's wanting
there is need
where there's having
there is greed

I'm swimming out on a blue blue ocean
You're sailing out on a blue blue sea
Silhouettes and a vulture hoping
he's gonna pick the bones of you and me
You and me

Girl
I want the gold dust
in your fingers
and your Klondike touch
girl
I want your goldmine
as it shimmers
in your solemn eyes

I'm swimming out on a blue blue ocean
You're sailing out on a blue blue sea
Silhouettes and a vulture hoping
licking the bones of you and me
I'm swimming out on a blue blue ocean
you're sailing out on a blue blue sea
Blue blue sea

I'm swimming out on the ocean
(Blue blue ocean)
you're sailing out on the sea
(Blue blue sea)
(x 4)

(repeat about 14 times) Blue blue ocean
Blue blue sea

If I said I'd lost my way
Would you sympathize
Could you sympathize?
I'm jumbled up
Maybe I'm losing my touch
I'm jumbled up
Maybe I'm losing my touch
But you know I didn't have it anyway

Won't you come on down to my
Won't you come on down to my rescue

Things are wrong
Things are going wrong
Can you tell that in a song
I don't know what I want anymore
First I want a kiss and then I want it all

Won't you come on down to my
Won't you come on down to my rescue
Rescue, rescue, rescue

Things are wrong
Things are going wrong
Can you tell that in a song
Losing sense of those harder things
Is this the blues I'm singing?
Is this the blues I'm singing?
Is this the blues I'm singing?
Is this the blues I'm singing?

Won't you come on down to my
Won't you come on down to my rescue

Won't you come on down to my rescue

Won't you come on down to my
Won't you come on down to my
Won't you come on down to my
Won't you come on down to my
(Is this the blues I'm singing?)
Won't you come on down to my

I'll practice my fall
For practice makes perfect
Chained to the wall
For maximum hold
The window's too far
Too far from my legs
Open the door and let out the cold

You knew about this
With your head in your hands
All along
I was the puppet
I was the puppet

Trampolines broken
Ceiling has come down
The ache in my back tells me
Something's gone wrong
Rocking horse rocks
As the wallpaper peels
Curtain would like to know
What he has done

You knew about this
With your head in your hands
All along
I was the puppet
I was the puppet

We're the salt of the earth
(I'll practice my fall for practice makes erfect) And we know what to say
(Chained to the wall for maximum hold)
We're the salt of the earth
(The window's too far too far from my legs)
And we know our place
(Open the door and let out the cold)

You knew about this
With your head in your hands
All along
I was the puppet
I was the puppet

All along
(You knew about this)
With your head in your hands
All along
(You knew about this)
I was the puppet
I was the puppet

(You knew about this)
Head in your hands
(You knew about this)
I was the puppet
I was the puppet
(We're the salt of the earth)
You knew about this
(We know what to say)
Your head in your hands
(We're the salt of the earth)
All along
((You knew about this))
(We know our place)
I was the puppet
(We're the salt of the earth)
All along
(We know what to say)
((You knew about this))
Your head in your hands
(We're the salt of the earth)
I was the puppet
((You knew about this))
