Time is beating harder Time's running after me Time's running faster inside Running out of me
Every movement... Every moment... Harder, faster into me Every movement's... Every moment's... Harder, faster into me
Like you and your love Like you and your love Like you and your love Like you And your love Like you And your love Keeping time with me Like you and your love And your leaving Tearing into me Crashing into me Tearing me apart
Oh right now we're lost. We're big clocks of brass glass wood with hands swimming big blue waves crashing through seconds hours minutes spinning out of control dimly lit digits of time in space ringing out yet muted the endless blackness of now of night of love sex dizzying into distant spiral of light lit solely licked slowly by thick splashes of white love liquid life liquid a flickering screen to see you with pheromone to sense you with pheromone to name you with blinding burst head-splitting scream of no longer being matter all colours merging no matter take me to the edge of time of breath of life creating life playing with death dissolve me there at the edge
Getting harder Getting easier Getting harder Getting easier The getting harder Makes it easier The getting harder Makes it easier To keep you close to me The getting harder Makes it easier To keep you deep in me...
So this is where the future lies In a beer gut belly In an open fly Brilcremed, acrylic, mindless boys Punching, kicking, making noise From the cradle to the city streets They spill out their aggression By punching what they don't understand And stopping all forms of expression Teaching each other to be men By spewing in the street Well now I know just what to do To make my man complete! Against the power of their misguidance We must learn to fight To be just what we want to be Morning, noon and night Night is for the hunters And the hunted are you and me Hunted for just having Some form of identity
Night is for the hunters And the hunted are you and me Hunted for just retaining Some form of identity Night is for the hunters And the hunted are you and me Hunted for just having Some form of individuality.
Pauses Are broken by statements, not tenderness I always wanted much more than this
Heartsworn misguidance Disguised in abundance Of thoughts of the moment Not facts of the day
Gestures are only as loud as the words I was tricked by the movement All sound went unheard
Obscured by the darkness, I reach for your face But I find a cold emptiness has taken its place Left all alone after making that find A silent scream starts distorting the mind
And I'm always wanting much more than this Left breathing in hope gently passed by your kiss But the lifeline is broken in two equal halves One closes up slowly The second one laughs...
As a sleeper in metropolis You are insignificance Dreams become entangled in the system
Environment moves over the sleeper Conditioned air Conditions sedated breathing The sensation of viscose sheets on naked flesh Soft and warm But lonesome in the blackened ocean of night
Confined in the helpless safety of desires and dreams We fight our insignificance The harder we fight The higher the wall
Outside, the cancerous city spreads Like an illness Its symptoms In cars that cruise to inevitable destinations Tailed by the silent spotlights Of society-created paranoia
No alternative could grow Where love cannot take root No shadows will replace The warmth of your contact
Love is dead in metropolis All contact through glove or partition What a waste The city A wasting disease
Walking into light From the blank evening sky Knuckles rub away the darkness Circling my eyes Walking into warmth From the cold evening air Numb white fingers push Greasy rain through my hair You walk into view From shadow thrown against the door Hands reach out and grasp the moment They've been waiting for You pull me close Dampness seeps through to your skin You peel the layers away I feel the fire ignite within You create the feeling I contain the need It's moments that we're stealing No pleasure's ever free You sustain the rhythm I'll maintain the beat It's the only ,chance we're given Let's turn this cold to heat You possess the notion I take full heed We're bound by this emotion Two bodies - one heartbeat You create the feeling I contain the need You sustain the rhythm I'll maintain the beat Desire comes alive Nothing interrupts the flow Water nurtures every crevice Where this love needs to grow Sliding to the floor We swell , falling to the ground The world becomes a place With no clear shapes, with no clear sounds We're lost for a short while In the knot where love's entwined You pour the freedom from deep inside I drink it back like wine The murmur of your voice Soft words soothe away the doubt your strength - so essential Something i can't do without You .... Inside we slow each movement 'Til we're static once again Outside the city runs Cars through roads like blood through veins Here sweet sticky air Locke a cover keeps us warm Drops of love fall from us The last moments of the storm Opening my eyes You're even closer now to me As the crowd goes pushing onwards Crashing forwards like a sea We turn and feel the world Right now a million miles away It's always there to interfere But I'm always here to say You ....
Through these city nightmares you'd walk with me And we'd talk of it with idealistic assurance That it wouldn't tear us apart We'd keep our heads above the blackened water But there's no room for ideals in this mechanical place And you're gone now
Through a grimy window that I can't keep clean Through billowing smoke that's swallowed the sun You're nowhere to be seen
Do you think our desires still burn I guess it was desires that tore us apart There has to be passion A passion for living, surviving And that means detachment Every-body has a weapon to fight you with To beat you with when you are down There were too many defence between us Doubting all the time Fearinf all the time Doubting all the time Fearinf all the time That like these urban nightmares We'd blacken each other skies
When we passed the subway we tried to ignore our fate there Of written threats on endless walls Unjustified crimes carried on stifled calls Would you walk with me now through this pouring rain It used to mingle with our tears then dry with the hopes That we left behind It rains even harder now .
The world keeps watch where its jewels are sleeping - under desert sands, its black heart's beating the pulsing liquid earth - ours for the taking
But beyond the marked borders, beyond strategic lines the dust's turning red, the wind's carrying cries and all around the world the world closes its eyes
A people without land fights for existence as opposing winds disperse all calls for assistance Will their annihilation be the price of our silence?
The only sounds heard are oil-hungry nations' blood-thirsty threats of immediate action should the hold on resources ever be threatened
There can be no excuses, no justification no heads turned away from their situation the price of our silence will be their annihilation!
Beyond the marked borders, beyond strategic lines the dust's turning red, the wind's carrying cries and all around the world the world closes its eyes.

These are just words from the void of wanting Externalised in melody and chanting
I want to be where darkness dwells A place in the city where night-time swells And spills itself over to the break of day With only eyes and hands to feel my way
Take me to a place where darkness swells The pain to a point where it can't be held Burst and break it and let it all spill Through the dark city night where angels will
I'm close enough to smell the drink on your breath Be under your skin being fully dressed To give and give and give 'til there's nothing left Take and take and take 'til you've all you need
Take me to a place where darkness swells The pain to a point where it can't be held Burst and break it and let it all spill Through the dark city night where angels will In the guise of strangers Lead me back Let me heal
Until I feel you touch me I can't dissolve Make water of my heart, make powder of my bones There's more pain here than I can keep inside me No place I know where it can't find me
Take me to a place where darkness swells The pain to a point where it can't be held Burst and break it and let it all spill Through the dark city night where angels will
Take and take and take me 'til I start to bleed Take me out of myself and set me free Free from the hurt to be absolved Until I feel you touch me I can't let go
Take me to a place where darkness swells The pain to a point where it can't be held Burst and break it and let it all spill Through the dark city night where angels will In the guise of strangers Lead me back Let me heal.

Remember me for what I was Not as I am now I'll merge into the shadows I'll disappear into the rain
Remember me for what I was Not as you see me now I'll walk out into tomorrow I'll melt into the sun
Remember me for what I was A glance in your direction at the right time A smile breaking into a crescent moon A word of reassurance
I'll protect myself Against the cold lash of tongues and lies I'll blend in with the crowd I'll disperse into the stream I'll fade into the darkness I'll turn and walk away
Remember me for what I was As one world breaks in two I'll follow my own stricts I'll forge another path
Remember me for what I was Not what I couldn't be Remember me for what I was And shall never be again
This house is full of loneliness Of sad weary silence I switch on the television For some company Two actors A man and a Woman Give exaggerated little moans As they simulate A so called stimulating fuck For my entertainment Beneath the endless groans It's not real It's pretend Just like we pretended that last time To make you Night is the most difficult part off all I don't need this This vile, crude reminder Of how we play out our roles Without any script at all
So these are circumstances Leading to my sorry tale I was in a town I didn't know I'd arrived there by rail It all began a week before - The joys of Saturday Night - An invite to a party Or watching The Price Is Right Opting for a soir챕e For the first time in a year Mixed badly with the revelers Mixed Bacardi, wine and beer The room moved back and forwards The dancers did the same Found refuge in a corner That's when he asked my name Well this is very nice, I thought Smiling through the haze As we talked of Auguste Rodin Through to Harold Pinter's plays Said he played piano Said his name was Steve Why shouldn't I believe That he really lived so far away Had to make a move for home Scribbled down his address Said he didn't have a phone Would I like to come to dinner On Friday of next week To this i said I'd love to As he kissed me on the cheek That night I felt so happy Excited through and through See ! The company of strangers Doesn't always leave you blue Stumbled home contented Like a cat that got the cream Wake up a little weary But I knew it was no dream The next few days were auyiouns What could I find to wear ? What happens if i arrive And there is no Hope Road there ? My friend said don't be silly No one does things like that Now will you get a move on And take off that stupid hat ! Made sure I set out early Made sure I caught the train Got out at the right station Then of course came down the rain Followed the directions Exactly as he said Asked people if they new Hope Road But they just walked on ahead I turned left at the junction Took the fork off to the right Straight over at the crossroads Then down to the traffic lights must have walked those streets for hours in the dark and in the cold Before I really could accept There was no place called Hope Road So here I am alone again Indoors by myself The TV, plants, books and I All nearly on the shelf Next time I'll be more cautions Next time I Won't be fooled It's another of those basic things You're never taught at school Let this be a warning As you wander through the world It makes no difference who you are Be you boy or be you girl Be very , very careful When people seems so nice It's not how that it's expensive Later on you pay the price There's no Hope Road
Sweat runs down the centre of my back Crawling like an insect - it makes a track Sweat runs down the nape of my neck Anticipation - the cause and the effect
So catch each drop as I catch each breath 'Til there's no doubt, no indecision, 'til there's not one question left Walking streets alone amid a mass of strangers' faces Fill my time with thoughts of you and I in distant places Now I must have you!
You breathe new life - it's all around It calls my name without a sound This distance cuts down deep inside Planes carve like knives across the sky I must be with you!
This place never cares to see who goes or who remains I wait and watch the boats set sail, I linger and listen to the far off trains This land of mine drifts off alone, far out to sea With no direction, no intention, nothing left to offer me And I can't stay!
It stand alone - back on the world And through it all it still seems to curl Itself around the people, binding tighter than a rope Gives nothing away for something, each day without hope It's no home for the luxury of love!
The good life out of each on the placards Doesn't hide away the truth of the broken down facades The buildings burn, the streets on fire Every muscle, every nerve stretched to reach for somewhere higher Feel me now!
Will you remain, place your trust Turn ideas into motions before mechanisms rust Will you hold me tight with arms, with words, in your comfort keep me warm I beg refuge in your shelter as I fly into the storm Take me!
Here Upon these ghostly shadows Of men and women There are no smiles Singly They mingle With the greyness of the walls And at strange angels They travel on To nowhere Each a nucleus Of sadness and despair Small Or no conversation Passes their cigarette-stained lips They sit The lonely ones Sitting eternally In institutions That have become their eyes That have become their arms Their legs They are empty now Just shells moving back and forth Upon a shore Of some uncharted beach Up steep green hills They linger Like the darkness thoughts That push them selves Into your mind You cannot question them For they will not answer you They Are our deepest fears
