I'm watching you walk
As you walk that distant way Take that thing away from me Take away most everything I couldn't say I'd blame you You should never look in back You wouldn't be to blame If you couldn't take it back Hours slipping by as you watch The worlds collide Now you're nothing more Than another passerby The dark it turns to light In a distant flash of night Rolling with the tide I confide The act we wear it thin again If affection holds you back Then what is left to hold If I could find the answer to that Question then I'd know The thoughts that Clutter up your mind And leave me feeling drained And walking pacing up the walls Across the floor again All the things I haven't seen Once the final curtain has been raised The act we act is wearing thin The act we act we under my skin The words the words we said goodbye The words left choking in my mind The act we act is wearing thin I think we wear it out again Another big explosion Leaving you hoping That something that once Held you down Could leave you feeling On the ground The confusion that persists Decisions that you guessed The one to stay and watch this The one you might have missed All the things I haven't seen Once the final curtain has been raised The act we act is wearing thin The act we act we under my skin The words the words we said goodbye The words left choking in my mind The act we act is wearing thin I think we wear it out again The act we act we under my skin The act we act we under my Forming a conclusion And you're left standing |

They went down to the river
On a warm summer night The air was thick with the Smell of temptation He said why don't we lay in the river Let the water run over me And she grinned and she said Now she said and she said Well that's a good idea He held her head high in his hands He held her down deep in the stream He saw the bubbles and matted hair Mixed in with the seaweed She started to scream Was it something I said Was it something I said And he said and he said And he said and he said That's a good idea he said he said To be alone with you he said he said I've been waiting for years And I'd rather be dead That's a good idea he said he said He held her down in the river He held her down in the water Another river of mud Wash away those tears He said and he said Now that's a good idea I saw them from the ocean She didn't seem to mind Didn't fight it at all She didn't fight it at all Some things are best left alone And sometimes I'm best left alone And sometimes I see you in the water At night at night at night That's a good idea he said he said I wanna feel you in the water With your hands on my head Push you down in the water He said he said That's a good idea he said he said |

I want something like I remember
And I want something that lasts forever I remember times you said That you'd be true to me Look at how the weather's changing I'm accustomed to your deception Comes the rule with no exception And I've been dragged across the river Running far and wide Come and see how I feel inside Change for the better Change for the worse Changes with summer and fall Now you're a stranger Spare me some change So I can find someone to call my own Now that winter has fallen upon us I need something that's warm and honest And if I found someone who thinks That they'll be true to me I really wouldn't want to change it I have seen, I have seen What these changes mean to me If you're thinking of changing If you're thinking of staying with me We need to agree We need to make some changes We need what we need Do I need you Do you need me Changes These changes Changes These changes Changes These changes Changes Changes |

Another time time after time
You make me feel so helpless I I never tried to change your mind I keep it to myself it's Sometimes I've got to tell you Is it this time I'll tell you We've got to go to places Somewhere I don't mind it's special And now you find as time goes by You're left with nothing Meaning much The meaning I will have to try To take your mind to places I wish that I could help you But you seem less than helpless I always tried to tell you Someday that it'd seem so special Time after time what's on your mind You make me feel so helpless I You never tried what's on your mind You make me feel so helpless I I feel so helpless I You're left alone with something And I hope for you it's one thing That something you and yours can Hold and hold as something special And now you find as time goes by You're left with nothing meaning much The meaning I will have to try What's on your mind so helpless I I feel so helpless I |

Standing on the edge
Of the Hoover Dam I'm on the centerline Right between two states of mind And if the wind from the traffic Should blow me away From this altitude It will come back to you And do you know the time All that's left of me is slight insanity What's on the right I don't know If the Mississippi should wash me away Down to New Orleans Maybe someday in my dreams I'd wake feeling the sweat From the gulf in my mouth On a carousel I can never tell My direction home Spinning down a hole I'm losing all control I'm down to the center of the earth Covered up with lava and I feel fine It washes over me Keeps me feeling warm at night And if you've made a deal with The guy with the horns and the cape I'll see you later later Standing on the edge Of the Hoover Dam Standing on the edge Of the Hoover Dam I am |

Do you know where you're going
Do you know where you've been Is it simple is it simple The chances seemed so slim In a cloud is it cloudy You've clouded up again Your perception your decision Your decision Behind I'm left behind Oh, I'm left behind, I'm left behind It's a matter of time Your protection from ejection My rejection Protection from the slide Projection from a slide Did it all seem so easy So easy to concede Giving in giving in The chances seemed so slim In a moment just a moment I felt you rushing in You were rushing I am crushing Your rush to cruise this I'm left behind Left behind I'm left behind It's a matter of time Your protection from injection My rejection Protection from the slide Projection from a slide I with your breath on my pillow And I with the memory I get to wait it out never put it away When you left with your death I felt empty when I looked back On my pillow what you used to say What you used to say I...I'm left behind I...I'm left behind I with your breath on my pillow I with the memory I get to wait It out never put it away When you left with your death I felt anger when I looked back On my pillow what you used to say What you used to say I felt your breath for a moment I heard your voice for a moment Then I looked back On my pillow what you used to say What we used to say That the chances seemed so slim The chances used to be so slim Now I swim alone The slim Alone To honor and obey To cherish and to worship In sickness and in health For richer for poorer for anything Til death do us part |

A part of me stands confused again
Watching it slip right Through my hands Put a finger on it now before it's gone All of it gone it's all so wrong Nothing could ever be so wrong Put a finger on it now before it's gone And leave a message by the door Before you're gone Maybe crystal ball is fortune teller Maybe cards laid out as fortune teller In the future tense as past And fortune present here at least Couldn't be more tied up by you Couldn't you be forgiving too All you ever think is Everything gone wrong Nothing I do can stop this slide I feel like part of something died All you ever think is Everything gone wrong And leave a message by the door Before you're gone Maybe I don't need a fortune teller And maybe I don't want this Fortune teller Little box that never lied I guess I'm keeping this inside |

I was crazy to think crazy to chase
Chasing this automobile I tend to think were you ready to race Racing this automobile It's a machine it's the one in my dreams It's taking me out of control it slips Through my hands on the wheel Don't you know how it feels When you're driving your dreams Through a pole I hate your face I hate the wall I'm sick of staring at the wall I hate the mirror with alcohol There is no wall All I remember is the sound Of squealing tires The road disappeared only to be Replaced by the sound of twisted steel The collision was swift And the next thing I knew Was that I might be dead All my life passed before my eyes When I opened my eyes I was looking at you They sent you here to take care of me I don't know your name I can't hear your voice I can't speak And all I do is wait for you to feed me They said the road was slick I said I've been feeling sick My head went through the mirror Why did they send you here I want to get up and shake you loose I want to be free of these machines I want to be released from this dream I want to be another machine |

It's the man on the moon
Saying goodnight to you Oh how it shines He's a good friend of mine He's a good friend of yours Even many miles away I hope he comes soon It's the man on the moon In a night of despair Only one light is there It's the man on the moon Saying goodnight to you If you're holding my hand As the earth turns to sand I see your face I see that look on your face Don't you know that Space is the place If you look to the sky Look him straight in the eye And as strange as it seems If you wish all your dreams Will come true after all |
