Who knows what the day brings?
When the girl on the palace steps sings I'm sorry the breakdown was mine I missed all the signs, I can't read your mind And before you go run off again And cry to your friends Would you look through the frost, and see Here behind my cold eyes, my heart it is wore My eyelids are sore And you were wrong And you were wrong And so when my song it was sung I went to the grass, and I sat in the sun To bask underneath my own dredge Do I follow my heart, do I have far to go And I'd lie 'neath the shade of our bones With the heart of a star, 'Cause I live on my own stone And you were wrong And you were wrong Who knows what the day brings? When the girl on the palace steps sings You were wrong You were wrong You were wrong |

So what happens when the heart just stops
Stops caring for anyone The hollow in your chest dries up And you stop believing So what happens when the heart gives up But the body goes on living The blood crawls to a slow and stops And flows away Well we got no-one to meet No love we would beseech We only have ourselves to blame for everything The was no answer in the dust And I'm missing you so much And now you're sleeping And I'm leaving Empty-handed waiting Time it will subside and we'll agree It was a given Well there was no standard we could set And the world it does regret To have to leave you in this state of bereavement You see I'm feeling everything Nothing gets by There is a hollow in my chest The time I won't forget There is no comfort in the eyes They put us always to the test I can't prepare myself for that But I work it out in time There is a love that flows between us Ever-changing everyday I worked myself up to a crawl But I'm not fearing it at all We have no reason left to stay And that's why we're leaving And there was no answer in the dust And the one I feared to trust There is a lie that drags us Beating and pulling into disappointment I'm disappointed I'm disappointed I'm disappointed It's so late, till you're gone |

Your will it drifts forever in the open air
My head, it looks forever but there's no one there Don't say, you'll wait forever then you disappear I'll stay, ill stay forever if you want me here Cause I'm always thinking about it How can I accept your disappointment man It's not exact, it's no science man I want it less than you ever have I will not accept your disappointment man.. Damn straight, cause there's always someone who'll compare I'd wait, I'd wait forever if you want me here but I'm always wrong about it I will not accept your disappointment man It's not exact, it's no science man I wanted less than you ever have How can I accept your disappointment man.. |

I find it so hard to be true
And all these lies I'm telling you Are little anchors in my chest That pull us down into this mess I find it easy to distract Just as soon as you turn your back I'll be gone again I find it so hard to be true And all these secrets, I keep from you Are like a blackness in my heart That only tears us both apart I find it easy to pretend That we're not heading for our end That's why I'm telling you I built a wall, I cut you off Now there's no lies that's gonna fix this up I played the saint and a saint I ain't Now all the hurt is here again, here again I find it so hard to be true But I'm gonna try my best for you And every distance that we've known Will disappear before too long And every line we've ever drawn Will be erased before we're gone And this I swear to you I built a wall, I cut you off Now there's no lie that's gonna fix this hurt I played the saint, I cursed your name Now there's no one but myself to blame, that you're gone Could I have put it this way It's wishing only To see it's never too late I'm feeling it work for me And every word that you say I got my heart out for you And only wish that you'd wait Till I was waving away I know that I may have you There's no more fire left in me I'm breaking down all the walls You slowly built around me Why do you ask for my trust When you're not worthy of it I find it hard to adjust Till I get it from me |

You said you kissed the foot of the saviour
Felt his confession in your sleep Well I'll be your saviour, if you'll do me that favour And if you want I'll bathe you In the blood of the lamb I love you, but you're too young to know And even if I am thinking of you I won't let it show When you're like this You could be thinking anything at all When you're like this I might as well be talking to the I might as well be talking to the wall I love you, but you're too young to know And even if I am thinking of you You'll never know There's no stone, stick, bone, name, thrown Swear to god But you, but you, but you, but you But you, but you, but you, but you But you, but you, but you, but you Amalama ah but you, amalama ama ramble on I love you, but you're too young to know And even if I am thinking of you You'll never ever ever ever ever ever know It's too late for you to go |

And your heroes They pass by on broken feet With the girls they find Between the roof and street On a thin escape And I can't explain where the blood goes And I can't explain cause I don't know It finds a way And the wise, they talk of honesty While the boats, they keep pointing Always set for sea And a fool's escape And there's a note, I found Reminding me, not to wait That you'd come and look for me And not to wait And I can't explain where the love goes And I can't explain cause I don't know It finds a way Ohhhh, ooooh, ooooh |

But you know I'd draw blood if that's what you want You found someone who makes you laugh Who'd stick around but that's not what you want You slipped at the start And dragged the whole thing sideways down Everybody fucks up It's just something that's been going round And you found someone who said he'd stay Who'd give it all but that's not good enough Now you're standing alone And you're living alone cause you don't know what you want And you're living alone And your wondering now, cause you don't know what you've done Maybe I should just disappear for now Then maybe you could see a little clearer now And you found some one who makes you laugh Who promised you he'd never let you down And you blame it on your broken heart But everyone who reaches out gets stung Now you're standing alone And you're waiting alone cause you don't know what you want And you're living alone And you're wondering now cause you don't know what you've done Maybe I should just move along But you know I'd draw blood If that's what you want.. |

Leaving, but never far enough
Like a ship caught in the bay We'll show each other where it hurts And well make the fuckers pay And what is it we don't do well enough That were constantly afraid. And clearing up the pieces when your gone But the silence always stays The silences and formlessness is gone With the hand that rocked the babe Well forgive each other what is done There's no one we could blame And neither side is sure enough to move There's something in the way And still for all the wisdom that we've got We're suffering the same Buried in the work what never ends And silently we fade.. And we walk on.. on.. |

In the prettiest of skies Lay back, lay back Rest your head on my thighs There is some awful action That just breeds from my hand It's a breathe from the deep So exquisitely grand And you were always on my mind And you were always on my mind And you were always on my mind And you were always on my mind Well I would not have moved If I knew you were here It's some special action With motives unclear Now you'll haunt me, you'll haunt me 'Til I pay for what I've done It's a payment which precludes The having of fun And you were always on my mind And you were always on my mind And you were always on my mind And you were always on my mind And oh I got a new partner riding with me I got a new partner now Well the sun's fading faster And we're ready to go There's a skirt in the bedroom Lying pleasantly low And the loons on the moor Or the fish on the flow Well my friends, my friends Still will whisper hello We all know what we know It's a hearts one to know When you think like a hermit You forget what you know And you were always on my mind And you were always on my mind And you were always on my mind And you were always on my mind And oh I got a new partner riding me I got a new partner riding with me I got a new partner riding with me I got a new partner now And you were always on my mind And you were always on my mind And you were always on my mind And you were always on my mind |

I may not hold you
For as long as forever exists I may not know you For as long as the heavens permit There will be distance And we'll both have to come to expect The wild ending of our dark and feathered friends And we wield the mighty sword That cuts through bone and lays the liars down And we wield an angry sword That softens stone and turns the tides around So you called me over And I'll wait by your building tonight But you may not bother But it's better than feeding the lie I am receiving The message that I need to go But I'm not leaving 'Til one of us surrenders its soul 'Til one of us renders it so |

Am I making sense? Am I making time?
Well I, I put it by And I can't wait to try Masquerade! The world's a stage A hundred faces for you to play Well it's hard to believe I'm spinning all this way I'm spinning all this way Round and round in my head Roll over again let your heart do the spin And listen to nothing I have to say What did my momma say I was always making songs for her Over my song, over these days gone on You come to a special place Where you can go in straight Masquerade! You send me down your massive chain You send me down your massive chain And you base the frame What did my momma say I was always making songs for her There's a better way |

Hey Martha why are you crying?
Is it for the same reason you were crying yesterday? Don't you know a bad situation when you see one? Get out, just leave baby, go today Well I'm just waiting for you to open me up Just hoping you'll drink from my broken cup I'm just a lonely boy who knows Nothing else but you, my Martha Hey Martha what are you saying? You say you got to figure it all out for yourself Well time won't wait, and you're not special Don't you think it's time you took me down off your shelf I won't claim to be the saviour of your soul, no I wouldn't want that kind of thing at all I'm just a lonely boy who knows Nothing else but you, my Martha Hey my my my Martha Hey my my my Martha Hey Martha the boat is leaving Pretty soon they are going to be Calling the last of us on Please don't please don't make me leave without you Don't make this a very sad and unhappy song You know I tried to say well it doesn't matter I tried to throw away everything I thought was true I'm just a lonely boy who knows Nothing else but you my Martha Hey my my my Martha Hey my my my Martha Hey my my my Martha |

Don't go outside tonight
The locusts fill the sky And the devil's work is never done And the gypsy curse you wore Can't hurt us anymore As we raise our glasses to our mouths And it's all for one And the bells that rang in hope Are still swinging from the ropes We thought we'd one day perish on And the tune you never wrote And the words you never spoke Have gathered up and need a song I'm moving off, I'm packing up I'm willing to be wrong.. Now your giving up the ghost To the one who meant the most And one day when she least expects she'll know And the words you never spoke And the tune you never wrote Won't write itself or wait for evermore I'm moving off, I'm packing up I'm willing to be wrong.. |

I run my hands along the rail
Like I'm banging on a dead nail I pull your mask around your face And pack your castle in a big case You're not a sage But you know you're always on a big stage I'm gonna live forever I'm gonna live forever I'm gonna live forever I'm gonna live forever He was just a guy with his plan Pitchin' rubbers with his rain-tan I took a date from the two day dance I kissed my girl in pretty blue pants Got to shake your hand You know I've always been a big fan I'm gonna live forever I'm gonna live forever I'm gonna live forever I'm gonna live forever On holiday when she was away, I was always Never gonna, ever gonna I'm gonna live forever I'm gonna live forever I'm gonna live forever I'm gonna live forever Stop right there, I got a dare You pull your plan and dig your heal Spin your castle on a bent wheel Pull your mask around your face And throw your hands into a big space I'm not just gonna stand like I'm Waiting for the big hand I'm gonna live forever! |

Listen girl I might
If you ask me very nice I just might tell you the truth Because you give me love and I like it And charming as you might be Listen girl you like it to All of the corner kids They're looking for joy Dreaming of playgrounds and toys Well they're dreaming no more 'Cause they've been there before And now they just sit and absorb Like when I couldn't get out of bed Oh I could hardly walk But I come here to muse I come here to talk To say listen girl ... And the fluids That hold me in my mind A candle in the way To falling back in time And beer The wilful little tout That brightens up my nights But hoodoo when I'm awake |

Keeps us always returning I'm keeping this as a keepsake And everything else I'm burning And maybe its cause you can't wait Keeps you always regretting I'm keeping this as a keepsake And everything else forgetting When were down, down, down, All the way Can we run away. And maybe it cause I can't say Keeps you always believing And maybe it's cause you can't say Keeps me always believing I'll give you this as a keepsake And right after that I'm leaving And maybe its all we can't take Keeps us always returning I'll give you this as a keepsake And everything else I'm burning..

You're a fool man
You threw it away You kill her With your confidence In the old days The cause you embraced The simple things That people over complicate Speaking in lines Known to yourself Your speaking at length On all those days Will you come with me And we'll be ourselves, And we'll walk into the light And you can colour yourself In golden wings You're never yourself Not even with me Will you come with me And we'll ask the dust It's on my way It's all my concentration Can hold But you alienate me And throw it down And rip it off When nothing's feeling right And I'll show you how You can sellotape it on You're giving me wings So I don't have to jump And you're giving me will So I can carry on Dissimulate and celebrate this Time we had alone |

Turning with the listless
And staying close behind And the arms that once held you Have receded Over time And the little love I had For all my friends and foe And the little lines we've drawn between us all have Taken hold In the early morning walking And the pressure in the night And the walls that held you with us Have fallen Out of sight And the little love I had For all my friends and foe And the little lines we've drawn between us all have Taken hold And the little love I had For all the friends I know And the little time we got to share was worth it After all Now we work it out in silence And the subplot to the end And it's falling out of favour I've seen it Where I am And the little love I had For all my friends and foe And the little lines we've drawn between us all have Taken hold And the little love I had For all the friends I know And the little time we got to share was worth it After all |

did you fall on your way
its a long way down welcome back to your place i hope you know it now cause its true what you say were the wrong way round and the lie that cut the worse has been resolved, then reversed finally.. ah come on.. show the way where are you running now. is it lack of restraint has you turning round. and in the end, were both the same you played your part, so your part to blame when you want something that much, it's drawing trouble on your life and when you found something that good its hard to focus on what's right and in the end what hurt the worst has been resolved and the reversed and i know its not what you said its like the letter i just sat and read finally.. you found something so good its drawing trouble on your life and when you lost something so good its hard to focus on what's right i love it so far.. |

I'm living out in the old house
And fighting on the stairs And staring at the windows Breeze blowing through the years But if I don't get out of this town Then something is gonna break 'Cause I gotta find my own way now Through this thick malaise Well I don't know where else I can turn now Makes me often wonder when are we gonna learn You're wearing too much make-up Going to the dance And you're looking over my way now But some people out there take a chance But your glow in this light is so becoming now If I don't get out of this town Something's gonna break I'm waiting to find my high/house soon And rummage through the age Sometimes it feels like we don't stand a chance And we go, we go with something pure in our hearts |

The early bird he slips away
And he lives to fly another day He only serves to point the way That you should or should not return Two simple birds that never stray When the lights go out on us Just before when we we're found Will not rush it, will enjoy it Will not touch it, will rejoice it The early bird he knows his place And he'll stay all day there if he has to He never hides or runs away When the voices crowd on his Cry so loud that you will die Will not rush it, will enjoy it Will not touch it, will rejoice it Where did this come from How long has this been going on Where is it from I feel my wheels are turning I see the sky falling on every face Telling us now that we ought to stay I feel my wheels are turning I see the open road before us stretch Leading us somewhere past the hour |

There's a point in all your dreaming,
To every time mean has just deserves, And every time I caught you leaving.. I had to dream awake.. And for every time I came home screaming, And got sent away, with no warning at all, I had to dream awake.. There's a calling, a calling, a calling,, To everyone, who lost something And who had to dream awake. There's a fight were not contending, Where we have to the words get mixed, And the point is lost Where we have to dream awake. So take us under now.. Take us over now.. There's a warning, a warming, a warning, To everyone, who found something.. |

There's a bad bone inside of me
All my troubles started there And all the cracks are addin' up to be A little more than you can bare When I met you, you were bitter still From a scar you're never gonna show And I was cursed with a jealousy That's killed every love I've ever known And when the anger that you feel Turns to poison in your soul And then the scars you only feel Will start to show And you were naked on the balcony And I was waitin' in your bed You said I pleased you only partially But I knew my hunger would be fed And all, all my thoughts of goin' clear And gettin' out before my time I died with you upon a vine I died with you upon a vine To die with you upon a vine To die So if you'll lead the way If you'll lead the way Will you lead the way? Will you lead the way? There's a bad bone inside of me |

The body's not secure,
The truth will not absorb, And this crumbling apart, Is no good for you at all.. Sound, there's order in the sound, The sound that you don't know.. And with eyes that never look, Past the time under foot, And this reading in the cards, Is a caution to the birds.. Sound, there's order in the sound, The sound that you don't know.. |
