I love the feeling when we lift off
Watching the world so small below I love the dreaming when I think of The safety in the clouds out my window I wonder what keeps us so high up Could there be a love beneath these wings? If we suddenly fall should I scream out Or keep very quite and cling to my mouth as i'm crying so frightened of dying Relax yes, I'm trying This fears got a hold on me Yes, this fears got a hold on me I love the quite of the night time when the sun in the deathly sea I can feel my heart beating as I speed from Then sense of time catching up with me The sky set out like a pathway but who decides which route we take as people drift into a dream world I close my eyes as my hands shake And when I see a new day who's driving this anyway I picture my own grave cause fears got a hold on me Yes, this fears got a hold on me Floating neither up or down I wonder when I'll hit the ground well the earth beneath my body shake and cast your sleeping hearts awake Could it tremble stars from moon light skies? Could it drag a tear from your cold eyes? I live on the right side, I sleep in the left That's why everything's got to be love or death Yes, this fears got a hold on me |

He said to lose my life
or lose my love That's the nightmare I've been running from So let me hold you in my arms a while I was always careless as a child And there's a part of me that still believes My soul will soar above the trees But a desperate fear flows through my blood That our dead loves buried beneath the mud Let's grow old together And die at the same time Let's grow old together And die at the same time I said I've got no time I have to go And I was more right then now I'll ever know He said my heart is faint will minds regret And left him crying next to the chapels steps Let's grow old together And die at the same time Let's grow old together And die at the same time He said Let's grow old together And die at the same time Let's grow old together And die at the same time He said He said to lose my life or lose my love That's the nightmare I've been running from So let me hold you in my arms a while I was careless as a child There's a part of me that still believes My soul will soar above the trees A desperate fear flows through my blood Our dead loves buried beneath the mud A desperate fear flows through my blood Our dead loves buried beneath the mud |

Did I sit alone and ask about my future?
When you replied I just turned away I've been searching through my books to try and find some truth Perhaps disguised as a mysterious way And if I made a promise Could I stay by your side? Would you guarantee my safety And say that I'd be all right? But if Judgment Day started tonight at least I'd know I was right And I'd be laughing at the end of the world Take my hand tonight I'll think we'll be alright, girl And I can see it on the TV, there's an air attack People of the mountains screaming I'll be back And I'm banging on your door so come on and let me in Need a place to hide, I need a place to hide before the storm begins If I told you all the times when I'd done wrong Could you bathe my soul and wash it all away? I can't forgive the things that I can still remember So I think my friendly sins are here to stay And I could make a promise with a tear in my eye And all the hope in my heart But all the doubt in my mind And if Judgment Day started tonight at least I'd know I was right And I'd be laughing at the end of the world Take my hand tonight I think we'll be alright, girl And I can see it on the TV, there's an air attack People on the mountains screaming I'll be back And I'm banging on your door so come on and let me in Need a place to hide, I need a place to hide before the storm begins Before the storm begins, before the storm begins Before the storm begins I need a place to hide before the storm begins |

On the cusp of vessel 18
A look of terror in our eyes The moonlight licked the face of danger Innocence made us like soldiers Untouchable and golden The quilt of darkness dotted with our teardrops I know you're sad I'm leaving So this may hurt a little But girl look from your window late tonight You think my heart is frozen While yours is slowly grieving You'll see the boy you loved start burning in the sky We were a dozen to the project With a galaxy of questions And all we heard was lies about the truth No choice but be obedient Like prisoners of war Caught on the wrong side of morality and youth We thought about our loved ones Tallied 50 on our foreheads With the pen your mother gave me in the spring The sun beat at the windows Within an hour james had cracked Left the ship and died still clinging to the wings (start burning in the sky) |

Just give me a second darling
to clear my head Just put down those scissors baby On the single bed The sand in the hour glass is running low I came through thunder the cold wind the rain and the snow To find you awake by your window sill A sight for sore eyes and a view to kill I broke down in horror at you standing there The glow from the moon shone through cracks in your hair I shouted with passion I love you so much But feeling my skin it was cold to the touch You whispered where are you I questioned your doubt But soon realized you were talking to God now You got blood your hands And I know it's mine I just need more time So get of your low let's dance like we used to But there's a light in the distance waiting for me I will wait for you So get of your low let's kiss like we used to I looked in the mirror but something was wrong I saw you behind but my reflection was gone There was smoke in the fireplace as white as the snow A voice then came gently It's your time to go That record you played as you beg for forgiveness Don't touch me I screamed I've got unfinished business You got blood your hands And I know it's mine I just need more time So get of your low let's dance like we used to But there's a light in the distance waiting for me I will wait for you So get of your low let's kiss like we used to You got blood your hands And I know it's mine I just need more time So get of your low let's dance like we used to But there's a light in the distance waiting for me I will wait for you So get of your low let's kiss like we used to |

If you tell me to jump then I'll die
In my dreams I'm there I always hoped that I'd learn how to fly In my dreams I'm there You can tie my hands to the walls But you can't tie my dreams to this place I might fall like a rock from your heart But you won't see me fall from grace Fate always loses hope Like electric sparks in my heart Fate always loses hope Now be a good girl and do what you're told If you tell me to jump then I'll die In my dreams I'm there I always hoped that I'd learn how to fly In my dreams I'm there I leave my memoirs in blood on the floor And my fears with the nurse on the stairs I'm only going where you'll be some day So don't say, "Rest In Peace" in your prayers Fate always loses hope Like electric sparks in my heart Fate always loses hope Now be a good girl and do what you're told I hope you, remember me I hope you, never pretend for me I hope you, remember me I hope you Fate always loses hope Like electric sparks in my heart Fate always loses hope Now be a good girl and do what you're told I hope you, remember me I hope you, never pretend for me I hope you, remember me I hope you, never forget about me I hope you, remember me I hope you, never pretend for me I hope you, remember me I hope you |

I saw a friend that I once knew at a funeral,
He took the time out to be seen. His eyes kept glancing to the hour hand on the gold watch, that he'd been given by a magazine. He didn't cry when the priest gave the sermon, Just pulled up the woolen collar on his fleece. Crossed his arms, gave a sigh and checked the time again, As he sat inches from the wife of the deceased. He catches raindrops on his window, it reminds him how he falls, From the stars back to our cities, where we've never felt so small Rain drops from his window making puddles in his hands, He thinks how quick the water's rising as another raindrop lands He took a chauffeur driven car back to his hotel, Passing through the sick streets where he was born He said "Driver, what's happened to these buildings? They all look run down and so alone." He took a shower in the bathroom of his penthouse, Put the Do not Disturb on his door When the maid came in the morning She found him shivering on the bedroom floor He catches raindrops on his window, it reminds him how he falls, From the stars back to our cities, where we've never felt so small Rain drops from his window making puddles in his hands, He thinks how quick the water's rising as another raindrop lands He catches raindrops on his window, it reminds him how he falls, From the stars back to our cities, where we've never felt so small Rain drops from his window making puddles in his hands, He thinks how quick the water's rising as another raindrop lands |

The light still in our eyes
We`re leaving this old fairground behind It`s a dream that`s growing cold The circus never dies The act forever haunts these skies I know we cannot stay Farewell to the fairground These rides aren`t working anymore Goodbye to this dead town Until the ice begins to thaw This place used to gleam I`d see it in my hopeful dreams Now I have to get away We move towards the stars And all that we touch becomes ours Let`s keep warm `til it`s day Farewell to the fairground These rides aren`t working anymore Goodbye to this dead town Until the ice begins to thaw We`ll head south just hold my hand now I feel like I`m casting off my clothes n I`m running through the snow towards the sunset and I`m always with you Keep on running Keep keep on running There`s no place like home There`s no place like home Keep on running Keep keep on running There`s no place like home There`s no place like home Keep on running Keep keep on running There`s no place like home There`s no place like home Keep on running Keep keep on running There`s no place like home There`s no place like home Keep on running Keep keep on running There`s no place like home There`s no place like home Keep on running Keep keep on running There`s no place like home There`s no place like home Farewell to the fairground These rides aren`t working anymore Goodbye to this dead town Until the ice begins to thaw We`ll head south just hold my hand now I feel like I`m casting off my clothes n I`m running through the snow towards the sunset and I`m always with you... |

You talked me to sleep last night
I hadn't felt that sad in years Your eyes like glass mistakes They moved me close to tears You speak those favorite fables which I'm yet to live And casually confirm my fears That I've got nothing to give I wish I could say that I've got no regrets But saying - that would be one more to pile on my desk I wish I could say I've come to time like old But as you said goodbye, I almost died I almost died I take it back, all of it Those names I called myself The heroes of my childhood Like hardbacks on the shelf I take it back those promises I made to everyone I'm falling through a ribbon last Before I'd learned to run I wish I could say that I've got no regrets But saying - that would be one more to pile on my desk I wish I could say I've come to time like old But as you said goodbye, I almost died I almost died I almost died |

"Don't lay a finger"
I said but he held her with five Kissed the crest of her lips And put his hand on her thigh "One million in a week or the girl's gonna go" "I'd kill you in a second" He laughed "Yeah I know" I won eight hundred thousand on a game show But it's not enough to win her back As my tears hit the floor he still said "Come on man give me some slack" I looked at the case he said "I'll show you her blood" I screamed down the phoneline "So is this the price of love?" When I stare in your eyes I see the image of God Well girl listen out for the phonecall and pray for a flood I called at a quarter past nine and said "I've done all I can" He said "You win some you lose some I feel bad for you man" He slammed down the phone and took his coat from the bed She said "What happens now" "Well to your husband you're dead" She said "I love you" and pleaded for her hero to stay But knew deep inside that he'd planned it this way "I gave him my heart now he's left it to die And I know I can't go back" He walked out the room shouted "See you around" She said "Come on give me some slack" He said "There's no hope but babe you can wait for that dove" She screamed from the window "So is this the price of love?" So is this the price of love? |

She stares into the mirror, you're fading with the sun
The hollows in her face like wishing wells Scarlet as a papercut and jeweled as the Orion She never wore that jewellery as a girl She says, "The only thing I've ever found That's greater than it always sounds Is love" She says, "The only thing I've ever found That's greater than it always sounds Is love" He stares into the river, heart falling to the drift An argument of calls moving full steam behind Bloodshot as a baby and sulking like a valley Fishing in reflections, killing time He says, "The only thing I've ever found That's greater than it always sounds Is love" He says, "The only thing I've ever found That's greater than it always sounds Is love" It's a bath that's getting cold while you're frozen to your bed The milk that's going rancid on the table The panic in the evening, the photos in the dustbin The pointless items we forgot to label It's the perfume on her wrist that stinks of easy birthday's The spare keys like asbestos on the side It's the cross around his neck, for luck and not for honor Like diamond over knuckle on a newly married bride She says, "The only thing I've ever found That's greater than it always sounds Is love" He says, "The only thing I've ever found That's greater than it always sounds Is love" I know the only thing I've ever found That's greater than it always sounds Is love I know the only thing I've ever found That's greater than it always sounds Is love |

I pressed my ear to your chest
And heard something personal. A whisper that knew my name. Is it how your heart treats all strangers? With love and affection? Then I feel cold and empty. I've got a sense of urgency. I've got to make this happen. No stone unturned. I've got a sense of urgency. I've got to make something happen. No stone unturned. I held your hand while you were sleeping The whole night you griped to mine. A grip that begged me to stay. Is this how your limbs treat all strangers? With love and affection? Then I fell weak and empty. Strangers don't hide. The morning hunts you down. And there's nothing stranger Than to love someone. I heard the water beat at your skin A shower of discipline, as heavy as iron. And I imagined the hand that gripped mine. Now gripping the gaps in the tiles. Just holding on tight. |

Hold tight for heartbreak
Buckle up for loneliness Right time to get away Where I'm going, I couldn't care I'm bored and I'm afraid I'm falling like rain for you So tired and picking skin Just cos it's something to do Bored girls and sad boys Dull roads to anywhere Bad sex and enthanol High scores on solitaire Im numb and getting off Getting real done with you Big plans that never come Holding out for something new Can anybody hear me? Is anybody out there? Not a soul in a street-light This might be love Can anybody hear me? Is anybody out there? Not a soul in a street-light This might be love Hold tight for heartbreak Buckle up for loneliness Right time to get away Where I'm going, I couldn't care Dead dreams and dirty clothes Calls that are long overdue Cheap highs and souvenirs So many knots that I'll never undo Can anybody hear me?

You were writhing on the floor like a moth in molasses
Whoever taught you to move your body like that? Goose pimples just vanished like some out of date acid Whoever taught you to scream like that? Maybe someday I could move like you (Maybe someday I could move like you) But I'm not looking for a holy ghost Maybe someday I can scream like you (Maybe someday I can scream like you) But I'm not looking for a holy ghost You were crying on the shoulders of the men in the shadows Whoever taught you to sell your sex like that? I'm thinking two halos in a stain-glass window Jesus' strangers are as strange as that Maybe someday I could move like you (Maybe someday I could move like you) But I'm not looking for a holy ghost Maybe someday I can scream like you (Maybe someday I can scream like you) But I'm not looking for a holy ghost Maybe someday I could move like you (Maybe someday I could move like you) But I'm not looking for a holy ghost Maybe someday I can scream like you (Maybe someday I can scream like you) But I'm not looking for a holy ghost |

The market-place has nothing to sell
Left alone its awning's shiver Wind whilstles through the wood Fish teeth snapping in a river Peaks puncture the sky Like a child's icy toes Dipped in a stream That a few of us know And the clouds just a ripple? A shock from the impact? Shadows on the streets Look like veils at morning Ice blots in the stone cracks Where tears must have fallen Oil by the bucket feeds flares to the heavens Offerings of incense, small bills and lemons Drumbeats in the caves and hearbeats in the huts Protectors unveiled for the first time in months You find some best friends We'll hold each other And I'll turn the bells I'll turn the bells You find some best friends We'll hold each other And I'll turn the bells I'll turn the bells The storm clouds pass And everything's for sale The chattering of rapids And the bartering of sunset Beads crunch like bones Through fingers and knuckles Poor hands pick cheap Quartz In the quarries and cliff-ledge A group of sandalwood trees With clotted blood coloured bark Candle-lit teeth Half-moon smiles in the dark The biker gangs smoking on the edge of the lake The smoke like white horses, a white-eyed mistake There's spirits in the water like photos in a box They're torn by the current and crushed by the rocks You find some best friends We'll hold each other And I'll turn the bells I'll turn the bells You find some best friends We'll hold each other And I'll turn the bells I'll turn the bells You find some best friends We'll hold each other And I'll turn the bells I'll turn the bells You find some best friends We'll hold each other And I'll turn the bells I'll turn the bells |

I was waiting in the back-seat of the car
When I knew I'd given up Down one of the back-streets by the park So sick of the taste of blood I'm gonna write your girl a letter It'll make everything better Screaming down the phone-line to your mum She said, "Honey ain't home right now" I bought a tuxedo and I bought a gun And wore them all around this town Nobody dares to lift a finger They can see my heart is down and injured If I'm guilty of anything It's loving you too much Honey, sometimes, love Means getting a little rough This is not bad love This is not bad love I've been going to church but I don't believe I'll ever be clear this pain Walk like a ghost through the streets Soaked from the pouring rain And I won't ask your god for mercy My spirits are low, my soul is dirty If I'm guilty of anything It's loving you too much Honey, sometimes, love Means getting a little rough This is not bad love This is not bad love If I'm guilty of anything It's loving you too much Honey, sometimes, love Means getting a little rough This is not bad love This is not bad love If I'm guilty of anything It's loving you too much Honey, sometimes, love Means getting a little rough This is not bad love This is not bad love |

Felt love last night for the first time in a long time
Feels like coming home to stay Like falling in the sea when it's too hot in the sun Made things so much worse today I know you said you'll miss me But I know that you won't Cos time is like a wave that washes all the pain away When you come down I know I said I'll see you When it gets to New Year But now that all the rain's stopped falling All I think is getting out of here Felt love last night for the first time in a long time Feels like I never went away Like drifting back to sleep when I'm aching and I'm tired Made me feel so much worse today I know you said you'll miss me But I know that you won't Cos time is like a wave that washes all the pain away When you come down I know I said I'll see you When it gets to New Year But now that all the rain's stopped falling All I think is getting out of here I know I've been welcome but tell me how far Ceremonial notes sound the gaps in my heart beat now Never been good enough for you or for me I've buried my pride, I've buried my key I know I've been welcome but tell me how far Ceremonial notes sound the gaps in my heart beat now Never been good enough for you or for me I've buried my pride, I've buried my key I know you said you'll miss me But I know that you won't Cos time is like a wave that washes all the pain away When you come down I know I said I'll see you When it gets to New Year But now that all the rain's stopped falling All I think is getting out of here |

When the daylight weighs a tonne
and all my friends are gone, there's rust around the things I love, when it's fraying at the seams of reality and dreams, all those dreams are quiet and dullThis town's alright But it's not enough I'm looking for a quick exit like a prisoner on the run (x2)Big time break down Look how the stars come out Big time break down Why didn't you just shoutI'm lonely and I'm looking For a place to go Where everything's an embrace and everybody wants to knowI'm your absent Valentine And the pigtails in the bride I'm the still that carves the toes in your bottle (I think?!) I'm the lynch mob in the dark I'm the silk worm in your heart Spinning out my perfect circleThis town's alright But it's not enough I'm looking for a quick exit like a prisoner on the run (x2)Big time break down Look how the stars come out Big time break down Why didn't you just shoutI'm lonely and I'm looking For a place to go Where everything's an embrace and everybody wants to knowI'm on the water Fetch your brother, fetch your daughter Come, Come undone Fetch your sister, fetch your son(Repeats through) This town's alright But it's not enough I'm looking for a quick exit like a prisoner on the run (x2)Big time break down Look how the stars come out Big time break down Why didn't you just shoutI'm lonely and I'm looking For a place to go Where everything's an embrace and everybody wants to know |
