Anouk

aha aha
did you ever wake up in the morning
with a greight-train running through your head
an empty whiskey bottle by your pillow
and a burned out unfinished cigarette
the night went up in smoke
life is but a joke man
but I see nobody laughing, nobody laughing

did you ever live a day
like the next day would never come
blood's dripping on the floor, but who cares
who needs you anyway you're a stranger to yourself
and this ain't no joke, man
but I can't stop laughing yeah

[chorus]
greedy, angry people make me
run around in circles backwards
down the lonely road that keeps me
run around in circles

how I want to try again
excuse me can you lead me
I just want to try again
excuse me can you lead the way
just take me by the hand
how I want to yeah

I wanna try again yeah

did you ever find yourself drowning
in a dark and crowded bar
the barman keeps on pouring and you're kissing everyone
the night will never end
no
'cause my horse is still saddled up
that's why I am still laughing

[chorus] 2x

Try, how I want to 3x How I want to, how enz.

I've got a bug in my head
And a jumping heart
No time to spare
Turn left turn right step on it
Stopped by the traffic light

And all that honking screaming
The cabdriver is dreaming
Of the beach and babes
Leaning back easy as the sun goes down
But I'm already late
No time to spare, couldn't care less about it
If the sky was falling down
No I don't care you can stare while the whole world is crumbling around me

Urban solitude breaking me down
Keeps me dreaming
Urban solitude shaking me down
Keeps me dreaming

So you've got a lot of stuff on your mind
Or a bleeding heart when nobody cares
Step in, step out of the rain
Head for the flickering lights, just head for the flickering lights
There's always somebody dancing, taking a chance
You can find a little romance, someone will give you love
Although it's just enough to get you through the night
Well alright now
No I don't care you can stare
I don't care about it
No I don't care you can stare, while the whole world is crumbling around me

Urban solitude breaking me down
Keeps me dreaming
Urban solitude shaking us down
Keeps me dreaming

I don't exist for you
You made that crystal clear
Your sweetest thing for 7 years
What did I do to deserve this

Don't think you own my life
I've still got my pride
Trying so hard to forget
I cannot help but hear your voice

This is love, just trust me baby
Other girls mean nothing to me
Why don't you keep your big mouth shut

And all the bridges that you burn
Come back one day to haunt you
It's just a matter of time

Baby, don't get me wrong
If I'm not there to catch your fall
Did I try for too long
Am I to blame for you being you

Save those tears for someone else
Your trouble's only just begun
Hands off my sunshine leave it alone
Before I go commit a crime

I'm gonna show you what you taught me
No respect, no mercy
Till you fall down on your knees for me

All the bridges that you burn
Come back one day to haunt you
It's just a matter of time

Baby, don't get me wrong
If I'm not there to catch your fall
Did I try for too long
Am I to blame for you being you

You ask me what is on my mind
You notice there's a change
There's something different
Different in the way I look at you today
You see I have been alone for so long baby
Now I cannot explain

I must be completely out of my mind
To ever take the chance
I ain't got no trouble still I worry
That I might have to lose you
See I've been alone for so long baby

[chorus]
Now I cannot explain, I've been alone for so long
I took the chance to lose you
No I must be insane, I've been alone for so long
I'm not gonna lose you

I never ever really tried
I never had the strength
But now I got you, I got you by my side
I'm gonna make this work
You see I've been alone for so long baby

[chorus]

All the things I've done when I was alone I can't understand myself
It's amazing, you amaze me
But my life begins with the song I sing and the love you bring to me
It's amazing, you amaze me

You ask me what is on my mind
You notice there's a change
There's something different
Different in the way I look at you today
You see I have been alone for so long baby
Now I cannot explain

I must be completely out of my mind
To ever take the chance
I ain't got no trouble still I worry
That I might have to lose you
See I've been alone for so long baby

[chorus]
Now I cannot explain, I've been alone for so long
I took the chance to lose you
No I must be insane, I've been alone for so long
I'm not gonna lose you

I never ever really tried
I never had the strength
But now I got you, I got you by my side
I'm gonna make this work
You see I've been alone for so long baby

I was dreaming last night
A figment of my brain
On the downtown train
And we had nowhere to go

So we got off to take a walk
In the pouring rain
You said you rode it once
And you would ride it again
Please take me with you

Tom waits for the morning train
To take us away
Me and mr. Tom Waits
Can't wait no more

I'm wrapped around your finger
Two fingers on my lips
No need to speak
Cause it's all in our eyes

When they turned out the lights
They gave us one for the road
We headed for the tracks
And never looked back
This could never be real

Tom waits for the morning train
To take us away
Me and mr. Tom Waits
Can't wait no more
Can't wait no more
On the downtown train
Me and mister tom waits

You grabbed my hand and twisted it,
so you had your way
No need to compromise
'cause you'll find the right words to say,
and I'll give it half a chance
Alone together, all alone, together all alone
Alone no more, it's Wednesday night
Someone is gonna treat me right
No, not my man gets me this high
It's gonna be my neighbour at number 29
- 간 주 중 -
I think I'll pack my bags
and I'll leave it all behind
I'm gonna leave it all behind
No need to compromise
'cause these are the right words to say
Give it half a chance
Alone together, all alone, together all alone
Alone no more, it's Wednesday night
Someone is gonna treat me right
No, not my man gets me this high
It's gonna be my neighbour at number 29
Alone no more, it's Wednesday night
Someone is gonna treat me right
No, not my man gets me this high
It's gonna be my neighbour at number 29
No, not my man,
It's not my man who gets me high
You know it's funny,
Alone no more

You grabbed my hand and twisted it,
so you had your way
No need to compromise
'cause you'll find the right words to say,

You know it's funny,
Alone no more

No one can hear me, 'cause no one is around
But I still hear your whisper in the dark
I know I can go, I know I can leave when ever I please
But time is a jailer for me

A face in the window, looking inside
But no one else sees it, I know
And now that you've found that the years have changed
What the ending will be
Time's just a jailer for me

I shut out the light
Alone in the dark
This time of night
Is the hardest part

I still hear the sound of your heels on the floor
I wait for the sound of your key in the door
But it's only the sound of nothing at all and so it must be
That time is a jailer for me
Time's just a jailer for me

No one can hear me, 'cause no one is around
But I still hear your whisper in the dark
I know I can go, I know I can leave when ever I please
But time is a jailer for me

A face in the window, looking inside
But no one else sees it, I know
And now that you've found that the years have changed
What the ending will be
Time's just a jailer for me

I shut out the light
Alone in the dark
This time of night

I still hear the sound of your heels on the floor
I wait for the sound of your key in the door
But it's only the sound of nothing at all and so it must be
That time is a jailer for me
Time's just a jailer for me

Do I really want to know myself
Do I want to see
Why I'm wonderin' every morning, who's it gonna be today

Staring in the mirror, come tell me, who's that under my skin
And what's the reason they're here for
Tell me what is my own true face
Tell me what is my own true face

But hey here I come
I'm the show's main attraction
I'm a beautiful creature
That's what I am, yeah that's what I am

But the other side of me
I can't explain why I've become
Negative as can be
I'm wonderin' where it's coming from
I know I can't do without it, sure makes me what I am
So I will never stop believin'
In that I love myself someday
In that I love myself someday

But hey here I come
I'm the show's main attraction
I'm a beautiful creature
Yeah that's what I am, Hey that's what I am

Do I really want to know myself
Do I want to see
Why I'm wonderin' every morning, who's it gonna be today

Staring in the mirror, come tell me, who's that under my skin
And what's the reason they're here for
Tell me what is my own true face
Tell me what is my own true face

But hey here I come
I'm the show's main attraction
I'm a beautiful creature
That's what I am, yeah that's what I am

But the other side of me
I can't explain why I've become
Negative as can be
I'm wonderin' where it's coming from
I know I can't do without it, sure makes me what I am
So I will never stop believin'
In that I love myself someday
In that I love myself someday

But hey here I come
I'm the show's main attraction
I'm a beautiful creature
Yeah that's what I am, Hey that's what I am

I'm walking in the park
And I'm talking to the dark
But there ain't nobody listening
My heart has turned to stone
When I found myself alone
Now all I do is whisper to the dark

There's only so much you can take
You've gotta to give yourself a break
But I don't think you're listening
If you're gonna take it all so hard
You gonna tear yourself apart
I can understand you miss him in the dark

Yeah, teach your heart how to sing get the courage again now
Yeah, take the 10:50pm train to the city
Yeah, I had a chance for romance so I do it again now

If love is no longer being served
You've got to leave the table
Mister aznavour told me, merci beaucoup
Though I miss him, got to let go
Though I miss him, got to let go
Let it go

It's about that time to leave it all behind you
You don't want to but life is passing by you
The hard knocks, got you twisted like dreadlocks
Catalogue your dark and set some new marks
I understand your body's filled with hesitation
Trust me it's gonna be a whole new situation
Turn this page I guess you know what to do
Rise up like phoenix I'm bringing out the beauty in you

Yeah, teach your heart how to sing get the courage again now
Yeah, take the 10:50pm train to the city
Yeah, I had a chance for romance so I do it again now

Lately I've been feeling down
I don't get around much anymore
So I just spend my time alone
Waiting for the phone to ring
I keep thinking of you

I miss the language that we speak
When we don't even talk
And everytime I see you smile
You make it all worthwhile
I keep thinking of you

[Chorus]
I never loved someone like this before
Keep staring at your picture while I try to
Work my way around you
But nothing's any good
'Cause I keep thinking of you

You never told me I would feel
Lonely without you
You're not supposed to make me cry
You said: don't worry I am yours
And I a while you were gonna call me
Well it's been six hours now
I keep thinking of you

[chorus]

Lately I've been feeling down
I don't get around much anymore
So I just spend my time alone
Waiting for the phone to ring
I keep thinking of you

I miss the language that we speak
When we don't even talk
And everytime I see you smile
You make it all worthwhile
I keep thinking of you

[Chorus]

Keep staring at your picture while I try to
Work my way around you

You said: don't worry I am yours

I am looking for answers to questions never posed
I haven't got a clue, I'm living like a ghost
I can't seem to read the signs
I'm swimming in the sand, I'm searching

I hold on to your reasons, I'll hold on to my dreams
It's all good and bad advice 'cause you have to choose
One friend says to go ahead, other one says don't
I'm searching

Whatever I try I can't find it
Whereever I roam it's all gone

No you can't find it, first you gotta lose it

Looking for an angle to change my point of view
Waiting for somebody, someone to relate to
Hoping for forgiveness, I'm living for love
I'm searching

Yearning for a teacher, to show me what to do
I'm learning from failure, that's all that I can do
Working on solutions, a fiction of truth
Keep on searching

Whatever I try I can't find it
Wherever I roam it's all gone

No you can't find it, first you gotta lose it

Who's the one that makes you happy
Who's the one that always makes you laugh
Who's the reason you're smiling
And dragged you through these time, so rough

I was the one that made you happy
I was the one that eased the pain
But I'm the reason that you're crying now
My own tears scattered by the rain

You can sacrifice me
You can sacrifice me
You can set me free
You can be who you wanna be

Deeper than deep you took me on a trip baby
You shared your wildest dreams and more
You dare me to express my feelings to you
I never felt that need before

But suddenly you needed freedom
You felt the need to break free
You started drowning in your sorrow
You didn't wanna know I had the key

You can sacrifice me
You can sacrifice me
You can set me free
You can be who you wanna to be

You can sacrifice me, sacrifice me
You can be who you wanna
You can be who you wanna be

Who's the one that makes you happy
Who's the one that always makes you laugh
Who's the reason you're smiling
And dragged you through these time, so rough

I was the one that made you happy
I was the one that eased the pain
But I'm the reason that you're crying now
My own tears scattered by the rain

You can sacrifice me
You can sacrifice me
You can set me free
You can be who you wanna be

Deeper than deep you took me on a trip baby
You shared your wildest dreams and more
You dare me to express my feelings to you
I never felt that need before

But suddenly you needed freedom
You felt the need to break free
You started drowning in your sorrow
You didn't wanna know I had the key

You can sacrifice me
You can sacrifice me
You can set me free
You can be who you wanna to be

You can sacrifice me, sacrifice me
You can be who you wanna
You can be who you wanna be

You walked in and dropped the bomb you're telling me

Gambled away the money that I put aside
And that Jill is having your baby

Now you're sorry and you want to come clean,
Well thank you anyway,
So go ahead now and shoot me redemption
Redemption from you

Sure got my piece of heaven
An angel in disguise
Gone wild

But I thought you were a man
Who knew right from wrong
That's why I really don't understand
Why he's with her

It's killing me
What has she got that I don't have
Is it the way she looks at you
Laughs with you, can she,
Does she make you beg for more
This is hurting

What has she got that I don't have

I tried to call him
Anytime anywhere
But he's never there

So I went to his place
And waited all day
So he would explain it to me
And this is what he said:

There is nothing left to say
I had my fill, I went away
Your crying eyes won't change a thing
It was just a fling

Well how could an angel break my heart
He said: We could still be friends

Are you kidding me
What has she got that I don't have
Is it the way she looks at you
Talks to you, can she
Does she make you beg for more
This is hurting
What has she got that i don't have

But twice every year
When he's in tears
When he loses his mind
And can't help but cry
He'll call me and then
I am better than, I am

Sure got my piece of heaven
An angel in disguise
Gone wild

But I thought you were a man
Who knew right from wrong
That's why I really don't understand
Why he's with her

It's killing me
What has she got that I don't have
Is it the way she looks at you
Laughs with you, can she,
Does she make you beg for more
This is hurting
What has she got that I don't have

I tried to call him
Anytime anywhere
But he's never there

So I went to his place
And waited all day
So he would explain it to me
And this is what he said:

There is nothing left to say

Your crying eyes won't change a thing
It was just a fling

Well how could an angel break my heart

Are you kidding me
What has she got that I don't have
Is it the way she looks at you
Talks to you, can she
Does she make you beg for more
This is hurting
What has she got that i don't have

But twice every year
When he's in tears
When he loses his mind
And can't help but cry
He'll call me and then

There's gonna be a yellow moon tonight
Don't leave the light on
Beads of sweat running down my face
You can catch them with your tongue
Colours run up and down your body
Every time you move
Every time, every time
Every time you move

When I kiss the pictures on your skin
Make me shiver with the fire
Let me kiss the pictures on your skin

A pair of eyes that stare across the room watching you breathing
Magic signs scratched inside a heart
Filled with your name
Colours run up and down your body
Every time you move
Every time, every time
Every time you move

When I kiss the pictures on your skin
Make me shiver with the fire
Let me kiss the pictures on your skin

The reds, the blues, the greens and the greys
All bleed their colours through a sweaty haze
And we slide like a serpent on silky sheets and that twist and turn
Forever and ever and ever
Soft as a butterfly, stings like a bee
Soft as a butterfly, stings like a bee

Colours run up and down your body
Every time you move
Every time, every time
Every time you move

When I kiss the pictures on your skin
Make me shiver with the fire
Let me kiss the pictures on your skin

There's gonna be a yellow moon tonight
Don't leave the light on
Beads of sweat running down my face
You can catch them with your tongue
Colours run up and down your body
Every time you move
Every time, every time
Every time you move

When I kiss the pictures on your skin
Make me shiver with the fire
Let me kiss the pictures on your skin

A pair of eyes that stare across the room watching you breathing
Magic signs scratched inside a heart
Filled with your name
Colours run up and down your body
Every time you move
Every time, every time
Every time you move

When I kiss the pictures on your skin
Make me shiver with the fire
Let me kiss the pictures on your skin

The reds, the blues, the greens and the greys
All bleed their colours through a sweaty haze
And we slide like a serpent on silky sheets and that twist and turn
Forever and ever and ever
Soft as a butterfly, stings like a bee
Soft as a butterfly, stings like a bee

Colours run up and down your body
Every time you move
Every time, every time
Every time you move

When I kiss the pictures on your skin
Make me shiver with the fire
Let me kiss the pictures on your skin
