baby i can't please you i can't please you
every time you start to critize i can see the misery in your eyes you say i make your pain you're trying to turn the blame all around you you take the words i say and make them mean everything they don't baby youre obscene you don't listen you don't hear you're blinded by the fear that surrounds you i know you say love when you mean control you buy the truth and your heart is cold so you live in shadows you try to tell the world how it should spin but you live in terror with the hollow men who stun you with their lies with fever in their eyes as they drown you |

the trees are listening each time a missile's made
they hide three mystics the earth sends from her grave to tell us the future has been stolen away by diggers, drillers and sellers but we won't stop 'till we're under a black sky he took my picture int he cemetery sun my body was tempted to crumble into one reunion of dust until creation's done returning ashes to ashes we won't stop 'till we're underneath a black sky the commerce the intrigue self-slaughtered souls cry out to dead poor men for a drink at the water hole but their tongues will burn dry as the day they were sold for forests raped into deserts we won't stop 'till we're underneath a black sky |

I saw you standing alone
I wondered if you wanted what you owned Your magic ladders in the sky Tie you to the place where angels fight In the circle of fire Circle of fire Our madness envy and desire Ring you with an unforgiving fire You love them with a burning soul By the time he sold the ashes they were cold In the circle of fire Circle of fire Fingers crying for you Sleeping on your doorstep for the proof We love ghosts we want to see through The blood and bones that hide us from the truth In the circle of fire Circle of fire You circle the city from the sky Watching children swallowing your lies It breaks you but you will never fall You've learned that love is greater than it all In the circle of fire Circle of fire |

Shotgun alleys with lightning flowers
Under the eyes of fallen statues Dry blood they've never seen Pain is sharper when i suspect That true love runs looking for us Like a lion in our dreams The strawberry road Where the dream fades Is down between our longing and desire The strawberry road Where our hearts break into love You censor longing and organize beauty Because you're afraid You want it more than oxygen or light You can't get there with your morals Or without love Lie down with me The rules aren't always right Strawberry road Where the dream fades Is down between our longing and desire The strawberry road Where our hearts break into love (2x) Call it romance or nostalgia The hunder behind our memories We've buried it in code The things we've wanted When we get them are never enough Never what they seem But they lead us to the road Strawberry road Where the dream fades Is down between our longing and desire The strawberry road Where our hearts break into love |

The violinist puts his violin away
Forbidden city broken into tonight I use my blindfold to dry my tears The stage is empty and tired of light But when I do the fan dance I'm all the red in China I'm dialing life up on my telescope Fringe and mathematics Shaking down the curtain To find the dragon parade When I do the fan dance Searchlights answer gunfire Angels escort falling mercies Hearts shut off like streetlights But even in the blackout I'll find my balcony rose The violinist puts his violin away Forbidden city broken into tonight I use my blindfold to dry the tears The stage is empty and tired of light When I do the fan dance I'm firecracker lightning I burn with no trace up in the cold sky I am broken open, waiting for inventions Of light that see through to love When I do the fan dance I'm all the red in China You write your questions on my skin I'll be in your dark streets To keep the lantern burning Until your new world begins |

I'm wasting my time, wasting my time
I've been wasting my time I'm wasting my time, wasting my time I've been wasting my time My soul's a worn out road Where you've left a trail of reminders The sky forgets, turns black with pain But the rain remembers your face And the streets know your name I'm wasting my time, wasting my time I've been wasting my time I'm wasting my time, wasting my time I've been wasting my time She read his palm, his heart and his head We're on the same life line I held one hand behind my back But the rain remembers your face And the streets know your name I'm wasting my time, wasting my time I've been wasting my time I'm wasting my time, wasting my time I've been wasting my time When I took him like a vow in the dark The future fell off me This pain is all I recognize But the rain remembers your face And the streets know your name I'm wasting my time, wasting my time I've been wasting my time I'm wasting my time, wasting my time I've been wasting my time Wasting my time I've been wasting my time Wasting my time |

She's not with you
Now, you think to much about her picking up new questions You don't know, what you don't know could you never said? And the quiet doubts about you will gather in your head So, tell her what she wants to know, she'll find out anyway Oh, tell her what she wants to know, she'll find out Oh, tell her what she wants to know, she'll find out anyway Tell her, tell her You can't find it That's when she's gone looking for you and she leaves you too much room And this may make you feel ignored, don't let it go But you won't say you love her, she will see you in yours eyes, she'll know So, tell her what she wants to know, she'll find out anyway Oh, tell her what she wants to know, she'll find out Oh, tell her what she wants to know, she'll find out anyway Tell her, tell her |

Flame why do I come so close to you
Vain telling me what I shouldn't do I saw you smoldering before I let him burn me to the floor - flame Flame why do you paralyze my soul Pain if I hold you or let go There's nothing bluer than your heat You make the night bleed at your feet - flame Break my fall into this wild fire of love Stolen from dreams Flame why do I dance so close to you Stained with the longing of a fool When fires rise the shadows fall Over the edges where we crawl - flame |

If I close my eyes
I'm afraid I won't wake up If I stop and listen I'm afraid I'll hear too much Trying to hold on to the earth Holding on for what it's worth I've got a long black cadillac marble hot tub in the back Champagne waterfall solid gold question mark twenty feet tall Try to paint a world of shapes Over the holes as we're falling The tightened grip is our mistake As we're trying to hold on to the earth Looking for his name wet on brave lips carved on road Look for flame and mercy Hope that tired hands can hold |

I saw black and you saw red
Crawled to separate corners the line went dead I closed my heart up tore your love for me to shreds Tangled wires / love can't breathe pulling tighter to my ruthless need Don't look down I want you unconsolably I can't stop crying Stubborn distance closes in with your assistance bitterly begin To build a wall of silence cutting soul in two Cloudy water in my eyes I'm ashamed of words with secret knives In dream I scream but you can't Hear me calling you I know that this heartache is A speck in the sky of love But it's all I feel around me |

I don't know how to say goodbye to you,
I'm not good at things that I don't want to do, Should I pretend that I don't care, You don't feel what I feel is there, I don't know how to say goodbye. I don't know how to say goodbye to you, I'm not good at things that I don't want to do, Should I pretend that I don't care, That you don't feel what I feel is there, I don't know how to say goodbye. A kiss, I insist that we play this game of lovers And a touch, If I look away too much, Would my feelings be discovered. I don't know how to say goodbye to you, I'm not good at things that I don't want to do, Should I pretend that I don't care, You don't feel what I feel is there, I don't know how to say goodbye. Would you be scared, If I just stared, And left you look inside me, Should I smile and just walk away, So my eyes can get jaded. I don't know how to say goodbye to you I'm not good at things that I don't want to do Should I pretend that I don't care Like you don't feel what I feel is there I don't know how to say goodbye Ohhhh I don't know how to say goodbye Ohhhh I don't know how to say goodbye To you Ohhh to you To you |

We're not lovers you and I
I can't think of reasons why I should want you like that I'm stranded by my passion The whole idea fits us like a suit gone out of fashion As I said goodbye and drove away things I'd like to hear you say Rolled across my mind like clouds in an unexpected flurry I stumbled on a minefield where desire was still buried I don't want to fall in love - with the idea of I don't want to fall in love - with love Sentimental circumstance disguised as fate with wild romance Fools me into thinking you're the water for my thirst Not knowing what you're feeling for me only makes it worse I don't want to fall in love - with the idea of I don't want to fall in love - with love |

Tonight I'll leave you there where I found you
Starting up the hill / an echo standing still Love has turned on us like the wild Listen to the scream / of our desperate dream Did we say forever and what ever did we mean Now my friend we're out of time Someone take me out of time I dreamed of eyes like his open windows Secrets looking through / dark sky burning blue But I kept them to myself / quiet pieces To the urgent voice / violent with choice Tonight I'll leave you there where I found you Starting up the hill / an echo standing still Our shadows cry for us as the dust moves Time won't tell us why we let love go by |

Pulling the trigger
A shot would fire then he'd wake To red lips above him smeared With scorn and stale restraint She covered him with pity Like a snake about to strike And then pronounced him hopeless When he wouldn't do as she would like He's so sorry he can't feel remorse He tries to keep the helpless ship on course The blameless sky pales as a storm comes Taking it by force He's so sorry Flashes of justice After all she'd done for him For the first time she was quiet As he touched her moon pale skin They found him hours later He was talking to the gun Saying father please forgive her She has killed her only son |

She can't tell time it's not listening to her
When faith went blind I could see light through her Her vigils in the street left my youth incomplete Left meaning obsolete Sleep I can't sleep / she can speak But she can't tell time Dream I can't dream / she can scream But she can't tell time She can't tell time she didn't get what she deserved When faith went blind she found the truth but lost her nerve When she won't act her age the cat circles round the cage Youth shrinks to tired rage |

I can't hide the truth from you
in a closet of some kindness Time will sharpen its blade and it will cut you when you find it I wish that I could lie to you baby I've got what you don't want to hear how do I tell you I tried to hold my soul back but its tide is so much stronger Than the drifting feelings we want to hold a little longer I wish that I could lie to you baby For far too long your lies protected you Now I have to hurt you with the truth We will find love someday But the longer we hold on now The longer it will be until we find it |
