Look Forward
Look forward
All you highway livers
It’s time to leave the landlord
Swinging from the highest tree
We don’t live, we flow
To every corner of the earth
Fuck your fences, fuck your borders
This tribe is taking back the map.

I’m Battened Down
With the days of young
We’ll make home in the mountains with the ones we love
I’m battened down
With the days of young
Until the day I die
I’ll always curse the sun

Look forward
Look forward
All you displaced boys and girls
We travel where we please
No mark for the stationary
Every skyline beats in my chest
Somewhere between love and sadness
Desire for something new
Leads us to everywhere.

After all that we’ve been through
VIVA THE WAYFARER YOUTH!
Just give us something new
VIVA THE WAYFARER YOUTH!

I’m Battened Down
With the days of young
We’ll make home in the mountains with the ones we love
I’m battened down
With the days of young
Until the day I die
I’ll always curse the sun

I’m Battened Down
With the days of young
We’ll make home in the mountains with the ones we love
I’m battened down
With the days of young
Until the day I die
I’ll always curse the sun

WE DON’T JUST LIVE
My Heart is where the sea lights touch the stars
WE DON’T JUST LIVE
With fond eyes we look to the horizon
WE DON’T JUST LIVE
My heart is where the sea lights touch the stars
WE DON’T JUST LIVE
With fond eyes we look to the horizon.

Jenny's in the basement
Burning, taking the church books
Yelling at the boys
She's mad as this crooked world
Those two sisters
Self-conscious and amused
Stand like sculptures
Growing up
In front of him
Taking his abuse
Alright, they share a secret
No loyalty awaits to seek
No fault, no shame
No rust in their hearts

She's so good to me
Our hands, our mouth, our body
Boys in the back are making fists
'Cause they don't understand
They ain't ever been in love like this

She's so good to me
Our hands, our mouth, our body
Girls on the dance floor, shake their hips
'Cause they don't understand
They ain't never been in love like this
They ain't never been in love like this
They ain't never been in love like this
They ain't never been in love like this

When will this winter end?
The snow’s been falling for months
The town all dressed in white
And my skin is burning from the wind

The cold sun in disguise
An assault from the morning light
My burial, I can’t succeed
Frozen and paralyzed

Oh winter [x8]
Oh no

ooooooooh [x6]

Oh winter [x8]

ooooooooh [x5]

Everybody on the count of three
Accept crime 1-2-3
Bethlehem to Galilee
Accept crime 1-2-3

Between the sheets, the voyeur watches you
And each caress takes us one step further from his tired truth
Say, we will be free to use our bodies as we please
We will be free to use our bodies as we please

Say hey! There's no police!
Hey, there's no police between two beating hearts
Hey! There's no police!
Hey, there's no police between two beating hearts

Let the clergy damn our every emotion
Until every impulse is a revolution
And will we know to bring good, we'll let it carry us through
It's your chance to use your disobedience
We will say:
We will be free to use our bodies as we please
We will be free to use our bodies as we please

Say hey! There's no police!
Hey, there's no police between two beating hearts
Hey! There's no police!
There's no police, no police between two beating hearts

I'll feel no guilt
I won't repent
Day to day I accept crime
And that's for me to confess

Hey! There's no police!
Hey, there's no police between two beating hearts
Hey! There's no police!
Hey, there's no police between two beating hearts
Between two beating hearts [x4]
I know

They are the nameless victims of a generation lost
Searching for somewhere to exist
Held captive by our mistakes
Weak and unable to resist

Resentful minds have ruled too long
You and old, weak and strong

We will drag our hindsight through the twilight of this era
To where our freedom reigns and the old thought is laid to dust
Let the philistines wallow in their decadence
While the enlightened minds usher in the dawning of a new

We are heading for the sun
(We are)
We are heading for the sun
(We are)
We are heading for the sun
(We are)
We are heading for the sun

Time will come when we are all condemned
For all the damage we have done
Held accountable for all
Battles lost, battles won

We are heading for the sun
(We are)
We are heading for the sun
(We are)
We are heading for the sun
(We are)
We are heading for the sun

And the earth will coil each year, getting closer to its end
What will our lesson be, when we are all ablaze?
That our benevolence was the start of our decay
Or that we did not learn from the mistakes of the past?

We are heading for the sun
(We are)
We are heading for the sun
(We are)
We are heading for the sun
(We are)
We are heading for the sun

Pregnant teens on the Barton street bus
Homeless people are living off crust
And there’s a beat-up town car - it’s starting to rust
Hard soles are kicking up dust
Half a million people living in the corpse of the brown brick 50’s
To the north, all the small town outcasts are now big city bourgeoisie

All the boys in the halfway houses
Wave to the girls of Emerald Street

Our calloused fingers, blood red on the brick - but we hold on
We’ll never falter, though they want us to slip - we hold on

The desperate, downtown stealing bikes
Drunks in the village are picking fights

So, police line the streets to read them their rights
No controlling hot summer nights
The sun goes down on the edge of town, at the end of everyday
We sit and watch the stacks, on fire, to the east across the bay

All the boys in the halfway houses
Wave to the girls of Emerald Street

Our calloused fingers, blood red on the brick - but we hold on
We’ll never falter, though they want us to slip - we hold on

There’s something in the church belfry
At the corner of Victoria and king
And it screams out into the night
It sings this city’s plight

All the boys in the halfway houses
Wave to the girls of Emerald Street

Hold on
Hold on

Our calloused fingers, blood red on the brick - but we hold on
We’ll never falter, though they want us to slip - we hold on

I find myself concerned
For the common man, these days
Evil are the minds
That push the divide
Forced to live a life
In fear that his future is on the wane
Midnight regulations
Midnight regulations
Burns his candle down
Working to make ends meet
But what can be done
About the way things have become
Fingers to the bone
Ready to admit defeat
Midnight regulations
Midnight

Brother! There is no charity
For the common man
When he is in need of relief

And now he’s hanging on
To his final stitch of faith
So, here’s to all the years
Of deaf ear fallen prayers
Rich men behind closed doors
Are trying to keep him in his place
Midnight regulations
Midnight regulations
Oh, all you common men
You need to fight for a new way
Old hearts, we need to mend
It’s time to start again
Palace walls dismantled
Brick by brick, you will have your day
Midnight regulations
Midnight

Brother! There is no charity
For the common man
When he is in need of relief

They say just hold onto your hope
But you know if you swallow your pride
You will choke

Brother! There is no charity
For the common man
When he is in need of relief

He comes, he comes
Judge so severe
Seven trumpets speak
Oh they speak him near

He comes, he comes
Judge so severe
Seven trumpets speak
Oh, they speak him near

He comes, he comes
Judge so severe
Seven trumpets speak
Speak the sound of fear

He comes, he comes
Judge so severe
Seven trumpets speak
Speak the sound of fear

Oh mother, you oughta be there
I’m gonna go to heaven when I die
(I want to go to heaven)
Roll Jordan, roll Jordan, roll Jordan
Oh father, you oughta be there
I’m gonna go to heaven when I die
(I want to go to heaven)
Roll Jordan, roll Jordan, roll Jordan

He comes, he comes
The judge so severe
Seven trumpets speak
Oh, they speak him near

Hallelujah, we’ll praise the lord
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

He comes, he comes
Judge so severe
You know the seven trumpets
in his face he'll kneel

Hallelujah, we’ll praise the lord
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
we’ll praise the lord
Hallelujah

Oh mother, you oughta be there
I’m gonna go to heaven when I die

Roll Jordan, roll Jordan, roll Jordan
Oh father, you oughta be there

We greet each day with bloodshot eyes
The dirt of our labor still clingin’ to our hands
Filled with our warped intentions
The tread of our shoes filled with foreign sands
The sun laughs in all our faces
It shows a world that we can’t save
So now, armed with blades in hand
We cut a path from birth to grave

We don’t know where we’re going
But we know that we’re getting there

No rest for the blessed
Long life for the wicked

We don’t think like you think
And we move like no one moves
With a song on our lips, across the land
Born to traverse
We don’t think like you think
And we move like no one moves
With a song on our lips, across the land
Born to traverse

We don’t know where we’re going
But we know, we’re getting there

No rest for the blessed
Long life for the wicked

Like a car crash
Like a landmine
Like mixing drugs, we are dangerous

Like a snake’s tooth
Like thin ice
Like mixing blood, we are dangerous

No rest for the blessed
Long life for the wicked

All blossoms die in the light of our new culture
Find your belief in that which cannot be discovered
Countless lessons lie in every fever dream
A million voices asking, what does it all mean?

I’ve lost all direction
I’ve lost all my direction
And now I wish, that I would have believed
Could have believed

Escape, escape
Nature’s indifferent hand
Retreat, retreat
To the bliss of our creation

We were born and raised
To live beyond
The heft and weight of a world undone
Like a bird from the north
Our hearts will roam in search of warmth

Two hands come together to pray for greater yields
Two poles of a compass guided by a field
In the mind of every man, two ghosts dance
Was this place made, or was it here by chance?
I’ve lost all direction
I’ve lost all my direction
And now I wish, that I would have believed
Could have believed

Escape, escape
Nature’s indifferent hand
Retreat, retreat
To the bliss of our creation

We were born and raised
To live beyond
The heft and weight of a world undone
Like a bird from the north
Our hearts will roam in search of warmth

Uncountable numbers written in new fallen snow
I can hear the claws of the beast tapping at my window
Nihilist sleeps and in dreams he sees god’s face
Realize even disbelief requires a leap of faith
From birth to death, we search for what’s yet to be known
We and hope and pray and ask, but we are never shown

Born and raised to live beyond
The heft and weight of a world undone
Like a bird from the north
Our hearts will roam in search of warmth

We were born and raised

America blearing in my ears all day
America, I don’t see the glory of your ways
The oldest money flows through a bloodline
We’ll see if your empire stands the test of time
Don’t wanna
I don’t wanna
Be a slave to the sons of privilege
Don’t wanna
I don’t wanna
Be a slave to the sons of privilege

Sweet lady liberty -
You are lost, though you are free
And what hides beneath
Can’t tell the wolves from the sheep

America, grin and bare the resentment of the world
With all your ugliness and self-worth
Desperate to grease the gears of the hideous machine
The swine, they writhe and praise the infallible regime
Don’t wanna
I don’t wanna
Be a slave to the sons of privilege
Don’t wanna
I don’t wanna
Be a slave to the sons of privilege

Sweet lady liberty -
You are lost, though you are free
And what hides beneath
Can’t tell the wolves from the sheep

Lost though you are free
In America
It’s time to justify your pride

Sweet lady liberty -
You are lost, though you are free
And what hides beneath
Can’t tell the wolves from the sheep

Go!
Strange things happen in the nighttime hour
Yesterday’s buds are tomorrow’s flowers
Those who speak numbers, refuse the great forgiver
And powerful men raise their hands and deliver
All the superstitions to which we all cling
While high minds in Geneva ponder e8 vs. string
The sun hides itself concealing its grin
And waits for the dawn to reveal itself again.

Oh young cardinals
Nesting in the trees
Oh hear our songs
Reign your innocence on me

One, two, three, four!

Strange things happen in the nighttime hours
White tails graze and wolves devour
Ghosts of old loves are blowing through the pines
Nicotine babies being born with no spines
The god of the sea is swinging his trident
We stoke our fires with the bones of tyrants
The sun, it retreats through the dust and the din
And waits for the dawn to reveal itself again

Oh young cardinals
Nesting in the trees
Oh hear our songs
Reign your innocence on me

Young cardinals take flight
Return to nest in the black of night
There are things you were not meant to know

Young cardinals take flight
Return to nest in the black of night
There are things you were not meant to know

Oh young cardinals
Nesting in the trees
Oh hear our songs
Reign your innocence on me

Oh young cardinals
Oh young cardinals
Oh young cardinals
Oh young cardinals
Oh

Old crows ride in the mouth of the beast
Sleep beneath its tongue, cradled by its teeth
We roam from shore to shore
From the open sky to the ocean floor
The more we move the less we are ourselves
And when we finally stop, we've changed to something else

As rapid as a river flows
As frigid as the cold wind can blow
As devious as the devil’s grin
Our blood is cold and we’ve shed our skin

Now, we are not the kids we used to be
Stop wishing for yesterday
We are not the kids we used to be
Stop wishing for yesterday
we are not the kids we used to be
Ooooh oh oh
We are not the kids we used to be
Stop wishing for yesterday

The crows are calling - seems the end is near
They’re spelling out their names, yet we have no fear
Oh, the damage a man can do
When ambition takes over his search for the truth

Sometimes life just gets the best of us
Some things in life will get the best of us

Now, we are not the kids we used to be
Stop wishing for yesterday
We are not the kids we used to be
Stop wishing for yesterday
We are not the kids we used to be
Ooooh oh oh (Stop wishing for yesterday)
We are not the kids we used to be
Stop wishing for yesterday

Every skyline beats in my chest
Somewhere between love and sadness
This is our fate, this is our test
We ride in the mouth of madness

As rapid as a river flows
As frigid as the cold wind can blow
As devious as the devil’s grin
Our blood is cold and we’ve shed our skin

Now, we are not the kids we used to be
Stop wishing for yesterday
We are not the kids we used to be
Stop wishing for yesterday
We are not the kids we used to be
Ooooh oh oh (Stop wishing for yesterday)
We are not the kids we used to be
Stop wishing for yesterday
Wishing for yesterday
Wishing for yesterday

When I feel that coming tension I wanna run in your direction.
When panics got me by the collar I need to go your way.
If it feels right I'm gonna stay out tonight.
Cut the Tension.
Cut right through.
I'm coming straight for you
It's true.

Tonight I'm on my way.
She smiles.
She holds her head just right,
because she knows she's the one.

That's right I'm making something
I tried to make it something
I tried to make it something
You can't be part of something
You can't be the sun to make it right
To see the sun to make it right

No reason why!
You're always on my back about what I mean to do
and all your talk is bothering me just wait until I'm through
I walk down to the corner store to catch up with my friends
They're puffin smoke high on dope, will this shit ever end?

I go down to the matinee
such stupid shit I see
as middle class suburban kids
grubbing money off of me
Tough guys staring picking fights
with new kids & with old
These attitudes help nobody
the guilty should be told

...and we'll tell 'em

No Reason Why - to beat up on a poser skin
No Reason Why - to keep the little kids from getting in
No Reason Why - to take advantage of the people you know
No Reason Why - there's no fuckin' reason why

You're always on my back about what I mean to do
and all your talk is bothering me just wait until I'm through
I walk down to the corner store to catch up with my friends
They're puffin smoke high on dope, will this shit ever end?
Will it ever fucking end?

No Reason Why - to beat up on a poser skin
No Reason Why - to keep the little kids from getting in
No Reason Why - to take advantage of the people you know
No Reason Why - there's no fuckin' reason why.

Could it be that I've mistaken you
For someone who can heal my pain
But you steal every breath of air that comes out of my lungs
But I can't keep, keep my hands off you

Give me a good reason to stay
If I can't decide
I'll dig my own grave
Give me a good reason to stay
If I don't decide
I'll dig my own...

Could this be that I've mistaken you
For someone who can heal my pain
But you steal every breath of air that comes out of my lungs
But I can't keep, keep my hands off you (Hands off you)
Go!

Give me a good reason to stay
If I can't decide
I'll dig my own grave
Give me a good reason to stay
If I don't decide
I'll dig my own grave

I need to learn from my mistakes!
or I'll dig my own grave
I need to learn from my mistakes!
or I'll dig my own grave
I need to learn from my mistakes!
or I'll dig my own grave
I need to learn from my mistakes!
or I'll dig my own grave

When you are the furthest from me
only photo keeps me company
and all I have's a shred of hope
and thoughts till I see you again
All this time
I'm waiting
Wondering
When will I see you again?

[x2]

This is just the tip of the iceberg
No bone in my body tells me I deserve her

[x2]

I figured out that I get burned every time my back is turned
No broken heart on display for you
For all your friends to laugh and to point to
(To laugh and to point, laugh and to point, to laugh and to point to)
Another flaw to disappoint
You can string me along as far as you want to
(Your eyes set me on fire)

I can't get enough of your touch
Even if it tears me apart
I'm the fool who knows your tricks
And still they take a hold of me
I just can't get enough
It's becoming way too much
I'm the fool who knows your tricks
And still they take a hold of me

(Yeah it takes a hold)

You kept me locked up with precision
With sweet revenge on who you slept with
(Who you slept with, who you slept with, who you slept with)
It's the fear of being alone that kills my plans to leave
They all go down in flames
(Your eyes set me on fire)

I can't get enough of your touch
Even if it tears me apart
I'm the fool who knows your tricks
And still they take a hold of me
I just can't get enough
It's becoming way too much
I'm the fool who knows your tricks
And still they take a hold of me

Over and over again
I'll repeat myself
Over and over again
You repeat yourself
Over and over again
Time repeats itself
Over and over again
I'll repeat myself

Your eyes set me on fire
(It tears me apart)
Your eyes set me on fire
(They take a hold of me)

I can't get enough of your touch
Even if it tears me apart
I'm the fool who knows your tricks
And still they take a hold of me
I just can't get enough
It's becoming way too much
I'm the fool who knows your tricks
And still they take a hold of me

(Yeah it takes a hold)
(Yeah it takes a hold)

"Don't Let This Be The End"

Yes your motives are tasteless
But your mouth is so bittersweet
When my worst fears surround me
I'll just wait for you to sweep me right off my feet

And your face turns blush red
As you scream for forgiveness
The mistakes you can't forget
Is the regret that you'll live with

(Hey!)
We're starting to break up
We're starting to break up
So please don't let this be the end

I'm not afraid of the consequence
I'll take the blame for it all
Oh, for the sake of the argument
I'll just wait for my conscience to call

(Hey!)
We're starting to break up
We're starting to break up
So please don't let this be the end
We're starting to break up
We're starting to break up
We're starting to break up
So please don't let this be the end

This is something new (oh)
And it's not what I'm used to (oh)
This is something new
And I just might end up losing you

(Hey!)
We're starting to break up
We're starting to break up
So please don't let this be the end

Please don't let this be the end
Please don't let this be the end
Please don't let this be the end
Please don't let this be the end

All yours, all that we've done (were starting to break up)
Can't forget the places that you have been (were starting to break up)
I know that I'll see you again (see you again)

I can tell that this isn't you
Every bend and curve isn't what I've been used to
You've been replaced by someone, she goes by the name
Even when our mouths touch it doesn't feel the same

No it doesn't feel the same

Your words break me down like a wrecking ball
I'm so sick of it all
Your words break me down like a wrecking ball
I'm so sick of it all

There's a chance that this is proof
I can't keep myself together around you
Oh, start picking up the pieces

Your words break me down like a wrecking ball
I'm so sick of it all
Your words break me down like a wrecking ball
I'm so sick of it all

Maybe you will leave, but you'll be back
Maybe then you'll treat me serious like a heart attack
And now you're looking for a heart to put in its place
But a heart like mine could never be replaced

Your words break me down like a wrecking ball
I'm so sick of it all
Your words break me down like a wrecking ball (you're words break me down)
Your words break me down (you're words break me down)
Your words break me down (you're words break me down)
Your words break me down (you're words break me down)

This smoking gun of a mouth of mine
Has many victims to it's name
But this time it was your words that killed me (your words that killed me)

Right where I was standing
I was hit by lightning
Words of yours went through my chest
And I was pulled apart til there was nothing left

Nothing

Everyone will remember me
Only because of how I twist my words around
If anyone gets to this point
Stop yourself from diving in headfirst
Onto solid ground

The twisted thoughts that come out of your mind
Are heartless at best
They keep you from your own recovery, I know (Recovery I know)

It takes fun out of living
When you have no life
You can't insert, you can't decide
And now you have the guilt of me on your lips (guilty)

And Everyone will remember me
Only because of how I twist my words around
If anyone gets to this point
Stop yourself from diving in headfirst
Onto solid ground

And the crowds silent as a whisper
Listen as she recites her scenes
And one by one, with different agendas
They pull out their sympathy

And you're still my living proof
Yeah you're still my living proof

And Everyone will remember me
Only because of how I twist my words around
If anyone gets to this point
Stop yourself from diving in headfirst
Onto solid ground
Onto solid ground

It's too far back now
To remember just how much you played
A role in causing confusion in my brain
My nerves are tied announce my mind is (?)

Running with the seconds
Recollections of the past
Make me such a mess (such a mess)
I need to pull my self together and let it out
Pull my self together and let it out
Pull my self together and let it out

It's too far back now
To remember just how much you
Took control of the situation
In the first place, everything seemed fine
You followed right along

Losing face with the hours
Photographs of our best moments make me such a mess (such a mess)
I need to pull my self together and let it out

Pull my self together and let it out
Pull my self together and let it out
Pull my self together and let it out
Pull my self together and let it out

It was another night
I'm sinking deeper and I'm out of time
I can't erase you from my mind
(I can't erase you from my mind!)

It was another night
I'm sinking deeper and I'm out of time
(I can't erase you from my mind!)

Oh let it out
Pull my self together and let it out
I've gotta pull my self together

You can steal my eyes
Carve them out, I don't even need them
I don't wanna see anyone other than you

You cover your face,
you're afraid to see the outcome
It's more than anyone person can bare

You take me for granted
You take me for reasons known only by you
You take me for granted
You take me for reasons known only by you

You pierce my heart, it useless
I don't even really need it
It belongs to nobody other than you

You can cut off my tongue, I'm speechless
And I'm wasting away, to nothing at your feet

You take me for granted
You take me for reasons known only by you
You take me for granted
You take me for reasons known only by you

If my heart is made out of gold than why does it feel like I'm here all alone
And you take me for granted
You take me for reasons known only by you

I'm hollowed out, can't you see?
You've ripped out my soul right from under me
Have little to show for anything
It's everything you hoped for

You take me for granted
You take me for reasons known only by you
You take me for granted
You take me for reasons known only by you

If my heart is made out of gold than why does it feel like I'm here all alone
You take me for granted
You take me for reasons known only by you

You don't have to settle for me at all
I'll never be the one you want
I'll never ever be the one under your arms
and I don't have the face to turn heads
or the body that cuts loose ends (?)
I swear I need to get a hold again

I can't get to you
(I swear I've tried)
If I can't get to you
(I'll never love again)

I'm not comfortable in my own skin
I'm ashamed of being myself
I wear my shame I wear it all too well
And I don't have the words to work this out
Your reactions fill with doubt
I am shallow this is what I've found

I can't get to you
(I swear I've tried)
If I can't get to you
(I'll never love again)

I can't get to you
(I swear I've tried)
If I can't get to you
(I'll never love again)

And you leave me with no choice
But to blow this out of the water
Now you leave me with no choice

If I can't get to you
(I swear I've tried)
If I can't get to you
(I'll never love again)
If I can't get to you
(I swear I've tried)
If I can't get to you
(I'll never love again)

Lies, all I hear are lies
Have you ever spoke a word of truth in your life?
Misled, you've always been misled
Always is taking advice from people who claim to be your friends

Oh I should have never laid eyes on you
Now I'm tangled up what can I do
What can I do, what can I
What can I do

Try, now you need to try
Try to never make the same mistakes in your life twice
(make the same mistakes in your life twice)
Truth, all I want is truth
Turning away is the last move I expect from, expect from you

Oh I should have never laid eyes on you
Now I'm tangled up what can I do
Oh I should have never laid eyes on you
Now I'm tangled up what can I do
What can I do

When you set the perfect trap
What can I do
What can I do
What can I do now

(lies all I hear are lies)

Oh I should have never laid eyes on you
Now I'm tangled up what can I do
Oh I should have never laid eyes on you
Now I'm tangled up what can I do (what can I do)

what can I do
what can I (what can I do)
what can I do

Oh, that was such a short goodbye
Never get to say exactly what I want in front of you
I always fall apart at the worst thoughts of crashing down
I know you know this isn't what you signed up for

I'll never let this go
I'm in a different state every night
We're kept together by highways and telephone lines

I'll never let this go
I'm in a different state every night
We're kept together by highways and telephone lines

The mile markers help me countdown
The next time I'll be around

The only thing I'll leave my own
Is fallen leaves covering the ground
And I'll tell the sheriff your complexion
I hope you know I was waiting for

I'll never let this go
I'm in a different state every night
we're kept together by highways and telephone lines

I'll never let this go
I'm in a different state every night
we're kept together by highways and telephone lines

A long road, I've seen it all
Never wanting to look back
This long road, I've spent so much time

I'm glad you're willing to waiting for me
Cause I'll never let this go
I'm in a different state every night
We're kept together by highways and telephone lines

I'll never let this go, go!
I'm in a different state every night
We're kept together by highways and telephone lines

You ask me, you ask me
How I got to know you
Just by speaking on the phone?

Isn't is crazy
How the thought of my touch
Wakes you up when you're alone?

Don't you believe everything you hear
Darling, focus on the prize
Don't you hear me whisper in your ear
"My darling, don't lose sight of my eyes"

It's not time to let go
This is not how it's supposed to end in my mind my baby
Maybe our intentions were wrong from the start
So answer me so we don't fall apart

(I called 46 times!)
And you answered on the 47th
(I called you 46 times!)
And you answered on the 47th

You tell me, you tell me
You've never fell so hard
For an obvious candidate

You said you hate your last love
And it's soon enough that you will will forget

Don't believe everything you hear
Darling, I've never lied before
Don't you hear me whisper in your ear
"Forget him your what I'm waiting for"

It's not time to let go
This is not how it's supposed to end in my mind my baby
Maybe our intentions were wrong from the start
So answer me so we don't fall apart

You've even said yourself
You're setting yourself up
You've even said yourself
That everyone would turn (that everyone can turn!)

And you've even told yourself
That the floodgates would break
So why are you taking so long to answer?

It's not time to let go
This is not how it's supposed to end in my mind my baby
Maybe our intentions were wrong from the start
So answer me so we don't fall apart
So answer me so we don't fall apart
So answer me so we don't fall apart

(I called 46 times!)
And you answered on the 47th
(I called you 46 times!)
And you answered on the 47th

I wake up in a waiting room
With the taste of blood
And a clouded view
I notice there is a tear in my jeans
The sleeves of my shirt have been ripped from their seams
My memory is a little bit blank
The thought of my name doesn't seem to come back
And I turn and scream "what am I here for?"
The nurses yell "you were left at the door"
I'm a stranger, someone left me for dead
And I need to decide what to do next

Oh
Just then I found a note in my pocket, it read:
"I don't ever wanna see you again" and I guess
That explains why I can't remember the rest of the night

I should have listened to my friends
I should have listened to them
When they told me you had bad intentions

I remember the string of events
From the dinner receipt
When a grabbed your hand
I know that you went in for a kiss
And I told you "that's not only what this is"
You held me at the end of my seat
And you had that look, the look of defeat
You wish that you could start this over
Instead you left me in a coma

Oh
Just then I found a note in my pocket, it read:
"I don't ever wanna see you again" and I guess
That explains why I can't remember the rest of the night

I should have listened to my friends
I should have listened to them
When they told me you had bad intentions

I should have listened to my friends
I should have listened to them
When they told me you had bad intentions

Oh
Just then I found a note in my pocket, it read:
"I don't ever wanna see you again" and I guess
That explains why I can't remember the rest of the night
Yeah

I should have listened to my friends
(and I don't ever wanna see you again)
I should have listened to them
When they told me you had bad intentions

I should have listened to my friends
(and I don't ever wanna see you again)
(LISTEN TO YOUR FRIENDS!)
I should have listened to them
When they told me you had bad intentions

When they told me you had bad intentions [x2]

It's time that I rain on your parade
Watch as all your hopes explode
To landmines
You ask for help but people turn away

You're living so far away from the truth
That you're believing in your own lies
It's no surprise that you sleep at night
Drowning in your prize

You made him feel so welcome (welcome)
Make him forget about
The poison running through his veins
You may say that you love him (love him)

Now lie in the mess you've made

(Don't let her!)
Don't let her pull you down
(Don't let her!)
Don't let her pull you down
(Don't let her!)
Don't let her pull you down

It's time I get a few things straight with you
You haven't been in for the whole time
Your stories, like your lifestyle, distorted, yeah

You're living so far away from the truth
That you're leaving me with no choice
To put you back in your place
With every sentence

You made him feel so wanted (wanted)
You make him feel that there is
Nothing more beyond your door
You may say that you love him

Now tell me what the love shit's for

(Don't let her!)
Don't let her pull you down
(Don't let her!)
Don't let her pull you down
(Don't let her!)
Don't let her pull you down
(Don't let her!)

I hope that
This isn't a sign of things to come (things to come)
I'll kill myself for blaming you (blaming you)
Please tell me now, is this a sign of things to come?

(Don't let her!)
Don't let her pull you down
(Don't let her!)
Don't let her pull you down
(Don't let her!)
Don't let her pull you down
(Don't let her!)

It's time that I rain on your parade

You cant get rid of me that easy no
Not without a fight
Your cool and collective approach is appealing yeah
You've got it down just right
You should put a blindfold over my eyes
And tape my mouth shut

When every word I say might as well be might as well be my last thought

No I don't want to make this an issue
I just want to pick back up right where we left off
So we don't get caught up again

No I don't want to make this an issue
I just want to pick back up right where we left off
So we don't get caught up again

You left me pictures just to tease me
Or maybe out of spite
You used your body to confuse me
Your hips swing just right
How do I control myself around you
I need to be locked up

When every word I say might as well be might as well be my last one

No I don't want to make this an issue
I just want to pick back up right where we left off
So we don't get caught up again

No I don't want to make this an issue
I just want to pick back up right where we left off
So we don't get caught up again

You're a wolf in sheep's skin
Teeth can tear me limb from limb
Do you have the room to spare me in your heart of hearts

I'm a wolf in sheep's skin
Teeth can tear you limb from limb
I don't have the room to spare you

No I don't want to make this an issue
I just want to pick back up right where we left off
So we don't get caught up again

No I don't want to make this an issue
I just want to pick back up right where we left off
So we don't get caught up again
Pick back up right where we left off
So we don't get caught up again

Sit down, stand up
Sit down, stand up
Walk into the jaws of hell (sit down, stand up)
Walk into the jaws of hell (sit down, stand up)
Anytime (sit down)
Anytime (stand up)
Sit down, stand up
Sit down, stand up
We can wipe you out anytime (sit down, stand up)
We can wipe you out (sit down, stand up)
Anytime (sit down)
Anytime
Stand up (the rain drops the rain drops)
Sit down (the rain drops the rain drops)
Oh
The rain drops [x46]

I sail to the moon
I spoke too soon
And how much did it cost
I was dropped from
The moonbeam
And sailed on shooting stars

Maybe you'll
Be president
But know right from wrong
Or in the flood
You'll build an Ark

And sail us to the moon
Sail us to the moon
Sail us to the moon
Sail us to the moon

We're rotten fruit
We're damaged goods
What the hell we've got nothing more to lose
One burst and we will probably crumble
We're backdrifting
This far but no further
I'm hanging off a branch
I'm teetering on a breaker
Honey sweets so fall asleep
I'm backsliding
You fell into our arms
You fell into our arms
We tried but there was nothing we could do
Nothing we could do
All evidence has been buried
All tapes have been erased
But your footsteps give you away
So you're backtracking
Oh oh oh
You fell into our arms
You fell into our arms
We tried but there was nothing we could do
Nothing we could do
You fell into our
You fell into a
We're rotten fruit
We're damaged goods
What the hell we've got nothing more to lose
One burst and we will probably crumble
We're backdrifters

Something for the rag and bone man
Over my dead body
Something big is gonna happen
Over my dead body
Someone saw someone's daughter
Over my dead body
This is how I ended up sucked in
Over my dead body
I'm gonna go to sleep
And let this wash all over me
We don't really want a monster taking over
Tip toeing, tying down
We don't want the loonies takin' over
Tip toeing, tying down our arms
May pretty horses
Come to you as you sleep
I'm gonna go to sleep
And let this wash over me

There's a gap in between
There's a gap where we meet
Where I end and you begin
And I'm sorry for us
The dinosaurs roam the earth
The sky turns green
Where I end and you begin
I am up in the clouds
I am up in the clouds
And I can't and I can't come down
I can watch and cant take part
Where I end and where you start
Where you, you left me alone
You left me alone
X'll mark the place
Like the parting of the waves
Like a house falling in the sea
In the sea
I will eat you alive [x4]
There'll be no more lies [x4]
I will eat you alive [x4]
There'll be no more lies [x4]
I will eat you alive [x4]
There are no more lies [x4]
I will eat you alive [x3]

Are you hungry?
Are you sick?
Are you begging for a break?
Are you sweet?
Are you fresh?
Are you strung up by the wrists?
We want the young blood (la [x8])
Are you fracturing?
Are you torn at the seams?
Would you do anything?
Fleabitten motheaten?
We suck young blood (la [x8])
We suck young blood (la [x8])
Woah woah
Won't let the creeping ivy
Won't let the nervous bury me
Our veins are thin
Our rivers poisoned
We want the sweet meat (la [x8])
We want the young blood
La [x8]

Genie let out of the bottle
It is now the witching hour
Genie let out of the bottle
It is now the witching hour
Murderers, you're murderers
We are not the same as you
Genie let out of the bottle
Funny how, funny how
When the walls bend, when the walls bend
With your breathing, with your breathing
When the walls bend, when the walls bend
With your breathing, with your breathing
With your breathing
They will suck you down to the other side [x4]
To the shadows blue and red, shadows blue and red
Your alarm bells, your alarm bells
Shadows blue and red, shadows blue and red
Your alarm bells, your alarm bells
They should be ringing [x12]
This is the gloaming
Shadows blue and red
Shadows blue and red
Your alarm bells
Your alarm bells
Shadows blue and red
Shadows blue and red
We're alarming
We're alarming
And the walls bend, and the walls bend
With your breathing, with your breathing
And the walls bend, and the walls bend
What is he doin'? what is he doin'?
This is the gloaming [x4]
This is the

In pitch dark I go walking in your landscape
Broken branches trip me as I speak
Just cos you feel it doesn't mean it's there
Just cos you feel it doesn't mean it's there
There's always a siren singing you to shipwreck (don't reach out, don't reach out [x2])
Stay away from these rocks we'd be a walking disaster (don't reach out, don't reach out [x2])
Just cos you feel it doesn't mean it's there (there's someone on your shoulder [x2])
Just coz you feel it doesn't mean it's there (there's someone on your shoulder [x2])
There there...
Why so green
And lonely [x3]
Heaven sent you
To me [x3]
We are accidents waiting
Waiting to happen
We are accidents waiting
Waiting to happen

I will
Lay me down
In a bunker
Underground
I won't let this happen to my children
Meet the real world coming out of your shell
With white elephants
Sitting ducks
I will
rise up
Little babies eyes eyes eyes eyes
Little babies eyes eyes eyes eyes
Little babies eyes eyes eyes eyes
Little babies eyes eyes eyes

No [x42]
I don't know why you bother
Nothing's ever good enough for you.
(By the way) I was there and it wasn't like that.
You've come here just to start a fight
You had to piss on our parade
You had to shred our big day
You had to ruin it for all concerned
In a drunken punch-up at a wedding
Yeah
Hypocrite opportunist
Don't infect me with your poison
A bully in a china shop
When I turn 'round you stay frozen to the spot
You had the pointless snide remarks
Of hammerheaded sharks
The pot will call the kettle black
It's a drunken punch-up at a wedding yeah
Oh no no

The mongrel cat came home
Holding half a head
Proceeded to show it off
To all his new found friends
He said I been where I liked
I slept with who I like
She ate me up for breakfast
She screwed me in a vice
But now
I don't know why
I feel so tongue-tied
I sat in the cupboard
And wrote it down real neat
They were cheering and waving
Cheering and waving
Twitching and salivating like with myxomatosis
But it got edited fucked up
Strangled beaten up
Used in a photo in time magazine
Buried in a burning black hole in devon
I don't know why I feel so tongue-tied
Don't know why
I feel
So skinned alive.
My thoughts are misguided and a little naive
I twitch and I salivate like with myxomatosis
You should put me in a home or you should put me down
I got myxomatosis
I got myxomatosis
Yeah no one likes a smart ass but we all like stars
But that wasn't my intention, I did it for a reason
It must have got mixed up
Strangled beaten up
I got myxomatosis
I got myxomatosis
I don't know why I
Feel so tongue-tied

I'm walking out in a force ten gale
Birds thrown around, bullets for hail
The roof is pulling off by its fingernails
Your voice is rattlin' on my window sill
Yesterday's headlines blown by the wind
Yesterday's people end up scatterbrain
Any fool can easy pick a hole I only wish I could fall in
A moving target in a firing range
Somewhere I'm not
Scatterbrain
Somewhere I'm not
Scatterbrain
Lightning fuse, powercut
Scatterbrain

Drag him out your window
Dragging out your dead
Singing I miss you
Snakes and ladders
Flip the lid
Out pops the cracker
Smacks you in the head
Knifes you in the neck
Kicks you in the teeth
Steel toe caps
Takes all your credit cards
Get up get the gunge
Get the eggs
Get the flan in the face
The flan in the face
The flan in the face
Dance you fucker dance you fucker
Don't you dare
Don't you dare
Don't you flan in the face
Take it with the love is given
Take it with a pinch of salt
Take it to the taxman
Let me back let me back
I promise to be good
Don't look in the mirror
At the face you don't recognize
Help me call the doctor
Put me inside
Put me inside
Put me inside
Put me inside
Put me inside
I keep the wolf from the door
But he calls me up
Calls me on the phone
Tells me all the ways that he's gonna mess me up
Steal all my children
If I don't pay the ransom
But I'll never see them again
If I squeal to the cops
No no no no no no no:
Walking like giant cranes ah
With my x ray eyes i strip you naked
In a tight little world and why are you on the list?
Stepford wives who are we to complain?
Investments and dealers investments and dealers
Cold wives and mistresses
Cold wives and sunday papers.
City boys in first class
Don't know we're born little
Someone else is gonna come and clean it up
Born and raised for the job
Someone else always does always pick it up
Get over get up get over
Turn the tape off.
I keep the wolf from the door
But he calls me up
Calls me on the phone
Tells me all the ways that he's gonna mess me up
Steal all my children
If I don't pay the ransom
But I'll never see them again
If I squeal to the cops
So I'm just gonna'

This is just a nightmare
But soon I'm going to wake up
Someone's gonna bring me around

Running from the bombers
Hiding in the forest
Running through the fields

Laying flat on the ground
Just like everybody
Stepping over heads

Running through the underground
And this is your warning
4 minute warning

I don't wanna hear it
I don't wanna grow old
I just wanna run and hide

Now I'm in a nightmare
But soon I'm gonna wake up
Someone's gonna bring me 'round

This is your warning
4 minute warning

Bit me, bit me, bit me, oh
I've got the poison, poison, poison now
I'm standing in the hall
Kicking out the wall
It's all been said to comfort you

Bangers in the mash
People lose for cash
??

Whatever turns you on
Whatever gets you off
Chief of police, the vice-chancellor
Lord and Lady Blah Blah
The Vicor and The Judge
You're dancing to my little red book

Bit me, bit me, bit me, oh
I've got the poison, poison
And I want more
Get you an armoured car
They're gonna throw a rock
Stare into the light
The pyramid is power
If you are on the top
??
If you stare into the dark,
The dark will stare back
Back into your soul

I want to thank you, thank you, thank you all
I'm having such a good time, a good time, had enough?

I'm taking you down
I'm taking you down
I'm taking you down when I go down
I'm taking you down
I'm taking you down
I'm standing in the hall
Kicking out the wall
Bit me, bit me, bit me, oh
Bit me, bit me, bit me, oh
I've got the poison

I'm stuck in the tardis
Trapped in hyperspace
One minute snake charming
The next in another place

All the right moves and
Earn the right percent
Watch me dance like a puppet
You can almost see the strings

Give me an answer
Give me a sign
I've been climbing up this ladder
I've been wasting my time

So long, so long
So long, so long

Up on the ladder
No time to escape
Up on the ladder
Away for fucking sake

Up on the ladder
Try to call out your name
Up on the ladder
You're all the fucking same

Oh, you let the people down
You let the people down
You let the people down

Appliances have gone berserk
I cannot keep up
Treading on people's toes
Snot-nosed little punk

And I can't face the evening straight
And you can't offer me escape
Houses move and houses speak
If you take me there you'll get relief
Believe, believe, believe, believe...

And if I'm gonna talk
I just wanna talk
Please don't interrupt
Just sit back and listen

Cause I can't face the evening straight
And you can't offer me escape
Houses move and houses speak
If you take me there you'll get relief
Believe, believe, believe, believe...

It's too much
Too bright
Too powerful

Too much
Too bright
Too powerful

Too much
Too bright
Too powerful

Too much

Over here
Come slowly
Come slowly to me
I've been waiting
Patient
Patiently
I didn't
But now I can see

That there's a way out
That there's a way out

That there's a way out
That there's a way out
That there's a way out

Get yourself together
Let the light pour in
Pour yourself a hot bath, pour yourself a drink
Nothing's gonna happen without a warning
Down is the new up
What is up, buttercup
Down is the new up, is the new up

Your services are not required
Your future's bleak, you're so last week

Ladies and gentlemen, without a safety net
I shall now perform a 180 flip-flop
I shall now amputate, I shall now contort
Because down is the new up
What if I just flip-flopped?
Down is the new up
Down is the new up
Down is the new up, is the new up

You're on Candid Camera
The chink in your armor
Topsy turvy town, topsy turvy town
Shake your pockets out
Pass it on, pass it down
Topsy turvy town, topsy turvy town

When I'm at the pearly gates
This'll be on my videotape
My videotape
My videotape

When Mephistopheles is just beneath
And he's reaching up to grab me

This is one for the good days
And I have it all here
In red blue green
In red blue green

You are my center when I spin away
Out of control on videotape
On videotape [x6]

This is my way of saying goodbye
Because I can't do it face to face
So I'm talking to you before it's too late

No matter what happens now
I shouldn't be afraid
Because I know today has been the most perfect day I've ever seen.

Just as you take my hand
Just as you write my number down
Just as the drinks arrive
Just as they play your favourite song
As your bad day disappears
No longer wound up like a spring
Before you've had too much
Come back in focus again

The walls abandon shape
They've got a Cheshire cat grin
All blurring into one
This place is on a mission
Before the night owl
Before the animal noises
Closed circuit cameras
Before you're comatose

Before you run away from me
Before you're lost between the notes
The beat goes round and round
The beat goes round and round
I never really got there
I just pretended that I had
What's the point of instruments
Words are a sawed off shotgun

Come on and let it out
Come on and let it out
Come on and let it out
Come on and let it out

Before you run away from me
Before you're lost between the notes
Just as you take the mic
Just as you dance, dance, dance

Jigsaw falling into place
There is nothing to explain
Regard each other as you pass
She looks back, you look back
Not just once
Not just twice
Wish away the nightmare
Wish away the nightmare
You've got a light you can feel it on your back
A light you can feel it on your back
Jigsaw falling into place

I don't wanna be your friend
I just wanna be your lover
No matter how it ends
No matter how it starts

Forget about your house of cards
And I'll do mine
Forget about your house of cards
And I'll do mine

Fall off the table,
And get swept under
Denial, denial

The infrastructure will collapse
From voltage spikes
Throw your keys in the bowl
Kiss your husband 'good night'

Forget about your house of cards
And I'll do mine
Forget about your house of cards
And I'll do mine

Fall off the table,
And get swept under

Denial, denial
Denial, denial

Your ears are burning
Denial, denial
Your ears should be burning
Denial, denial

Reckoner
You can't take it with you
Dancing for your pleasure

You are not to blame for
Bittersweet distractors
Dare not speak its name
Dedicated to all human beings

Because we separate
Like ripples on a blank shore
In rainbows
Because we separate
The ripples on a black shore

Reckoner, take me with you

Dedicated to all human beings

Wakey wakey
Rise and shine
It's on again off again on again
Watch me fall
Like dominoes
In pretty patterns

Fingers in
the blackbird pie
I'm tingling tingling tingling
It's what you feel now
What you ought to what you ought to
Reasonable and sensible

Dead from the neck up
I guess I'm stuffed, stuffed, stuffed
We thought you had it in you
But no no no
For no real reason

Squeeze the tubes and empty bottles
And take a bow take a bow take a bow
It's what you feel now
What you ought to what you ought to
An elephant that's in the room is
Tumbling tumbling tumbling
In duplicate and triplicate and
Plastic bags and
Duplicate and triplicate

Dead from the neck up
I guess I'm stuck stuck stuck
We thought you had it in you
But no no no
Exactly where do you get off
Is enough is enough is enough
I love you but enough is enough, enough of that stuff
There's no real reason

You've got a head full of feathers
You're gonna melt in to butter

I'm the next act
Waiting in the wings

I'm an animal
Trapped in your hot car

I am all the days
That you choose to ignore

You are all I need
You are all I need
I'm in the middle of your picture
Lying in the reeds

I'm a moth
Who just wants to share your light

I'm just an insect
Trying to get out of the night

I only stick with you
Because there are no others

You are all I need
You're all I need
I'm in the middle your picture
Lying in the reeds

It's all wrong
It's all right
It's all wrong

In the deepest ocean
The bottom of the sea
Your eyes
They turn me

Why should I stay here?
Why should I stay?

I'd be crazy not to follow
Follow where you lead
Your eyes
They turn me

Turn me on to phantoms
I follow to the edge of the earth
And fall off
Everybody leaves
If they get the chance
And this is my chance

I get eaten by the worms
And weird fishes
Picked over by the worms
And weird fishes
Weird fishes
Weird fishes

Yeah I
I'll hit the bottom
Hit the bottom and escape
Escape
And I
I'll hit the bottom
Hit the bottom
Hit the bottom and escape
Escape

Don't get any big ideas
They're not gonna happen

You paint yourself white
And fill up with noise
But there'll be something missing

Now that you've found it, it's gone
Now that you feel it, you don't
You've gone off the rails

So don't get any big ideas
They're not gonna happen

You'll go to hell for what your dirty mind is thinking

I do not
Understand
What it is
I've done wrong

Full of holes
Check for pulse
Blink your eyes
One for yes
Two for no

I have no idea what I am talking about
I am trapped in this body and can't get out

Make a sound
Move back home
A pale imitation
With the edges sawn off

I have no idea what you are talking about
Your mouth moves everywhere

Has the light gone out for you?
Cause the light's gone out for me
It is the 21st century
It is the 21st century
You can fight it like a dog
It brought me to my knees
They got scared and they put me in
They got scared and they put me in
All their eyes wrapped around my face
All their eyes wrapped around my face
Although everybody else can see
Although everybody else can see

I'm alive

I've seen it coming

How come I end up where I started?
How come I end up where I went wrong?
Won't take my eyes off the ball again
You reel me out then you cut the string

How come I end up where I started?
How come I end up where I went wrong?
I won't take my eyes off the ball again
First you reel me out and then you cut the string

You used to be alright
What happened?
Did the cat get your tongue?
Did your string come undone?

One by one
One by one
It comes to us all
It's as soft as your pillow

You used to be alright
What happened
Et cetera, et cetera
Fads for whatever
Fifteen steps
Then a sheer drop

How come I end up where I started?
How can I end up where I went wrong?
Won't take my eyes off the ball again
You reel me out and you cut the string

Look at earth from outer space
Everyone must find a place
Give me time and give me space
Give me real, don't give me fake
Give me strength, reserve control
Give me heart and give me soul
Give me time, give us a kiss
Tell me your own politik

Open up your eyes
Open up your eyes
Open up your eyes
Just open up your eyes

Give me one, cause one is best
In confusion, confidence
Give me piece of mind and trust
Don't forget the rest of us

Give me strength, reserve control
Give me heart and give me soul
Wounds that heal and cracks that fix
Tell me your own politik

Open up your eyes
Open up your eyes
Open up your eyes
Just open up your eyes

And give me love over, love over, love over this, ahhh
And give me love over, love over, love over this, ahhh

In a haze, a stormy haze,
I'll be round, I'll be loving you always, always,
Here I am and I'll take my time,
Here I am and I'll wait in line always, always.

Could you could you come back
Come back together
Put yourself on my back
And say ist forever

Could you could you come on
Come on forever
Your shoulders knees and your back
Are what keep me together

Cause you're the one i love

Could you could you come in
Come in together
Tie yourself to mast
It's now or it's never

It's gonna tear us apart
Tell me forever
It's gonna tear us apart love
Or keep us together

Cause you're the one i love

Songwriters: Berryman, Guy; Buckland, Jon; Champion, Will; Chris, Martin; Let me go, boys, let me go
Push my boat from the highest cliff to the sea below
Rocks are waiting, boys, rocks await
Swoop down from the sky and catch me like a bird of prey

Now my feet won't touch the ground
Now my head won't stop
You wait a lifetime to be found
Now my feet won't touch the ground

Singing now my feet won't touch the ground
Now my head won't stop
You wait a lifetime to be found
Now my feet won't touch the ground
Now my feet won't touch the ground

Come on now, don't you want to see?
This thing that's happening to me
Like moses has power over sea
So you've got power over me

Come on now, don't you want to know?
You're a refuge, somewhere I can go
You're air that, air that I can breathe
Cause you're my golden opportunity

And oh, oh yes I would
If I only could
And you know I would
And baby I, oh baby I
I wish

Come on now, don't you want to see?
Just what a difference you've made in me
I'll be waiting oh no matter what you say
Cause I've been waiting for days, days, days

And oh, oh yes I would
If I only could
And you know I would
And baby I, oh baby I
I wish
I wish

Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
If the sky's gonna fall down, let it fall on me
If you're gonna break down, you can break on me
If the sky's gonna fall down, let it fall on me
If it's gonna rain down, it can rain on me
It can rain on me

You see the world in black and white
No colour or light
You think you'll never get it right
But you're wrong. You might.

The sky could fall, could fall on me
The parting of the sea
But you mean more, mean more to me
Than any colour I can see

All you ever wanted was love,
But you never looked hard enough,
It's never gonna give itself up

All you ever wanted to be
Living in perfect symmetry,
Nothing is as down or as up as us

You see the world in black and white
Not painted right
You see no meaning to your life
You should try
You should try

All you ever wanted was love,
But you never looked hard enough,
It's never gonna give itself up

All you ever wanted to be,
Living in perfect symmetry,
Nothing is as down or as up

Don't you want to see it come soon,
Floating in a big white balloon
Come give her your own silver spoon

Don't you want to see it come down?
There for throwing your arms around
And say "You're not a moment too soon."

Cause I feel low, cause I feel low
ooooh...
Yeah I feel low
oh no...oooh
Cause I feel low, cause I feel low
oh...
Yet I feel low
oh no...oooh

Lovers, keep on the road you're on
Runners, until the race is run
Soldiers, you've got to soldier on
Sometimes even right is wrong

They are turning my head out
To see what I'm all about
Keeping my head down
To see what it feels like now
But I have no doubt
One day, we are gonna get out

Tonight maybe we're gonna run
Dreaming of the Osaka sun
Ohh ohh...
Dreaming of when the morning comes

They are turning my head out
To see what I'm all about
Keeping my head down
To see what it feels like now
But I have no doubt
One day the sun will come out

Just because I'm losing
Doesn't mean I'm lost
Doesn't mean I'll stop
Doesn't mean I would cross

Just because I'm hurting
Doesn't mean I'm hurt
Doesn't mean I didn't get
What I deserved
No better and no worse

I just got lost
Every river that I tried to cross
Every door I ever tried was locked
Ohhh and I'm...
Just waiting 'til the shine wears off

You might be a big fish
In a little pond
Doesn't mean you've won
'Cause along may come
A bigger one

And you'll be lost
Every river that you tried to cross
Every gun you ever held went off
Ohhh and I'm...
Just waiting until the firing stopped
Ohhh and I'm...
Just waiting 'til the shine wears off

[piano solo]

Ohhh and I...
Just waiting 'til the shine wears off
Ohhh and I..
Just waiting 'til the shine wears off

Now I never meant,
To do you wrong,
That's what I came here to say.

But if I was wrong,
Then I'm sorry,
I don't let it stand in our way.

As my head just aches,
When I think of,
The things that I shouldn't have done.

But, life is for living,
We all know,
And I don't wanna live it alone.

Sing,
Ah, ah, oh,
Sing,
Ah, ah, oh,
And just think,
Ah, ah, oh.

There's a wild wind blowing
Down the corner of my street
Every night there the headlights are glowing

There's a cold war coming
On the radio I heard
Baby it's a violent world

Oh love don't let me go
Won't you take me where the streetlights glow
I could hear it coming
I could hear the sirens sound
Now my feet won't touch the ground

Time came a-creepin'
Oh and time's a loaded gun
Every road is a ray of light
It goes o-o-on
Time only can lead you on
Still it's such a beautiful night

Oh love don't let me go
Won't you take me where the streetlights glow
I could hear it coming
Like a serenade of sound
Now my feet won't touch the ground

Gravity release me
And dont ever hold me down
Now my feet won't touch the ground.

Are you missing something?
Looking for something?
Tired of everything?
Searching and struggling?

Are you worried about it?
Do you want to talk about it?
Oh, you're going to get it right sometime.

There is so much to be scared of
And not much to make sense of
Are you worried in a circle
Can't be too careful

And she can't relate it
Because it's complicated

Oh, you're going to get it right sometime
You gonna get it right sometime

It's how you see the world
How many times can you say
You can't believe what you've heard

It's how you see the world
Don't you worry yourself
You're not gonna get hurt

Is there something missing?
There's nobody listening
Are you scared of what you don't know

Don't want to end up all alone
You need conversation and information

Oh, you're going to get it right sometime
You gonna get it right sometime

That's how you see the world
How many times have you heard
That you can't believe a word

Ah Don't you worry yourself
'cause nobody can hear

It's how you see the world
It's how you see the world

Can anybody fly this thing?
Before my head explodes,
Or my head starts to ring.
We've been living life inside a bubble,
We've been living life inside a bubble.

Confidence in you,
Is confidence in me,
Is confidence in high speed.

Can anybody stop this thing?
Before my head explodes,
Or my head starts to ring.

We've been living life inside a bubble,
We've been living life inside a bubble.

Confidence in you,
Is confidence in me,
Is confidence in high speed.

In high speed,
High speed.

High speed you on,
High speed you on,
High speed you on ,

High speed you on.

Honey you are a rock
Upon which I stand
And I came here to talk
I hope you understand
The green eyes, yeah the spotlight, shines upon you
And how could, anybody, deny you
I came here with a load
And it feels so much lighter now I met you
And honey you should know
That I could never go on without you
Green eyes

Honey you are the sea
Upon which I float
And I came here to talk
I think you should know

The green eyes, you're the one that I wanted to find
And anyone who tried to deny you, must be out of their mind
Because I came here with a load
And it feels so much lighter since I met you
Honey you should know
That I could never go on without you
Green eyes, green eyes
Oh oh oh oh [x4]

Honey you are a rock
Upon which I stand

VERSE 1

CHORUS

and i could see
oh the way that gravity pulls on you and me

Where do we go nobody knows?
I've gotta say I'm on my way down
God give me style and give me grace
God put a smile upon my face
Where do we go to draw the line?
I've gotta say I wasted all your time, (oh honey honey)
Where do I go to fall from grace?
God put a smile upon your face, yeah

Now, when you work it out I'm worse than you
Yeah, when you work it out I wanted to
Now, when you work out where to draw the line

God gave you style and gave you grace
And put a smile upon your face, ah yeah

Don't even say you're on your way down, (when)
God gave you style and gave you grace
And put a smile upon your face

In my place, in my place
Were lines that I couldn't change
I was lost, oh yeah

I was lost, I was lost
Crossed lines I shouldn't have crossed
I was lost, oh yeah

Yeah, how long must you wait for it?
Yeah, how long must you pay for it?
Yeah, how long must you wait for it?
Oh for it?

Tired and underprepared
But I wait for it

Leave me down here on my own
Then I'll I wait for you

Yeah, how long must you pay for it?
Yeah, how long must you wait for it?
Oh for it?

Come on and sing it out to me, me
Come back and sing

In my place, in my place
Were lines that I couldn't change
I was lost, oh yeah
Oh yeah

Scared of losing all the time
He wrote it in a letter
He was a friend of mine
He heard you could see your future
Inside a glass of water
The ripples and the rhymes
He asked Will I see heaven in mine?

That is just the way it was
Nothing could be better
And nothing ever was
Oh they say you could see your future,
Inside a glass of water
With riddles and the rhymes
Will I see heaven in mine?
Oh Oh Oh

Ah Son, dont ask,
Neither how full nor empty
is your glass
Cling to the mast
Spend your whole life living in the past
Going nowhere fast

So he wrote it on the wall
The hollowest of halos
Is no halo at all
Televisions said and past
In figurines and leaders
saying nothing at all
And he chimed stars in heaven aligned
Oh Oh Oh

Ah Son, dont ask,
Neither how full nor empty is your glass
Cling to the mast
Spend your whole life living in the past
Going nowhere fast

[instrumental]

What are we drinking when were done?
Glasses of water...

There will come a day
When we transcend our pain
Until that day, take it easy on yourself

Love is the answer
Makes no difference what you have heard
Love is the answer
You have got to trust in the world

[Hindi singing]

There will come a day
When we can finally rest
Until that day, take it easy on yourself

Love is the answer
Makes no difference what you have heard
Love is the answer
You have got to trust in the world

Brothers and sisters,
I know you try so hard sometimes
You're going to find your happiness inside

[Hindi singing]

Love is the answer
Makes no difference what you have heard
Love is the answer
You have got to trust in the world

In the world [5x]

Love is the answer
You have got to trust in the world

I was driving this morning and sat in traffic on the way to work, work
Soon as I got in, my boss is tripping and acting like a freaking jerk
Me and my girl ain't speak in weeks and I can't remember the reason why, why, why
On top of that it's a recession, I feel like Jay-Z; this can't be life

Tonight I'm leaving all my worries and my problems in the house
I'm going out with my homies and we gonna let it, gonna let it
All hang out, let it all hang out
It's the last day of the weekend, boy I need to release
And let it all hang out, let it all hang out
I'm going out with my homies and we gonna let it all hang out

Time for me to leave this place, don't feel like its going to come, come, come
I got bills on top of bills and I don't know where I'm getting my money from from
The walls feel like their closing in,
I honestly don't feel like I can make it, make it, make
I'm so mad and I can't take it, that's why

Tonight I'm leaving all my worries and my problems in the house
I'm going out with my homies and we gonna let it, gonna let it
All hang out, let it all hang out
It's the last day of the weekend, boy I need to release
And let it all hang out, let it all hang out
I'm going out with my homies and we gonna let it all hang out

Me and JD chilling in the shack
Sharing Chiclets from the same pack
180-proof Vitamin Water
Energy flavor
Take us to your daughter
I want to see you pretty ladies on the dance floor (dance floor)
Put your hands up in the air like you don't care no more (we don't care no more)
We gonna hit the town tonight, we were born to rock

Tonight I'm leaving all my worries and my problems in the house
I'm going out with my homies and we gonna let it, gonna let it
All hang out, let it all hang out
It's the last day of the weekend, boy I need to release
And let it all hang out, let it all hang out
I'm going out with my homies and we gonna let it all hang out (let it all hang out)
I'm going out with my homies, and we gonna let it all hang out

In the mall, in the fall, we're sneaking to the emergency hall
First we smoke then have a smoke, get change for tokens and a pretzel and Coke

Now we're ready
In the mall, I was in the mall
Keep it steady
In the mall, I was in the mall
In the mall!

Holidays are on their way, these decorations have so much to say
Loses meaning, going west, don't get facetious or you don't get the best

Bells are ringing
In the mall, I was in the mall.
Now we're singing
In the mall, I was in the mall.
I was in the mall! I was in the mall!

Take the elevator to the escalator ride it down and start again!

All together
In the mall, I was in the mall
No place better
In the mall, I was in the mall
I was in the mall, in the mall!

All the times you came to me and told me that you cared
I was dreaming of happy days that we both could share
Maybe I got too excited, and maybe you freaked out
Maybe I just have to call you up and scream and shout

All of my friends tell me that I ought to play it cool
No one likes too much attention from a desperate fool
Still I don't believe that I can keep it all inside
When I see your pretty face, I almost want to cry

I know it isn't right
But still I have to fight
I have to let you know
I don't wanna let you go

The pain is killing me
But I can't let it be
I have to let you know
I don't wanna let you go

I remember the days when I was stronger than a wall
Try as anybody might, they couldn't move me at all
Now I fall to pieces when you softly call my name
Going up in smoke rings like a moth within your flame

I have lost all hope of being normal once again
I will be a slave to you until the bitter end
Even if it's a hundred years before you change your mind
I will be here waiting girl until the end of time

I know it isn't right
But still I have to fight
I have to let you know
I don't wanna let you go

The pain is killing me
But I can't let it be
I have to let you know
I don't wanna let you go [x2]

Right now everything sucks
I can't express the things I want
I got to play in this game
And you know dumb the house rules are

Someday I'm gonna break out of here
And I will find what is true in my soul (I won't let go)
I work my skin to the bone because I'm not gonna give up
I'm not gonna give up!

I've got to get me some
I've got to live my life
I've got a heart that beats
And nobody else has time
They ain't gonna keep me down
Cuz I've got to reach the top
I've got to get me some
I've got to have my rock
I've got to get me some now baby

I'll pose in the magazine
I'll be on the satellite TV
In Detroit Metal City
With 10,000 people just like me
They'll all be singing along
And the girls will show me their love (high up above)
I ain't never coming back
I be out with my brothers
I'm out with my brothers!

I've got to get me some
I've got to live my life
I've got a heart that beats
And nobody else has time
They ain't gonna keep me down
Cuz I've got to reach the top
I've got to get me some
I've got to have my rock
I've got to get me some now baby

I've got to get me some now baby

I've got to get me some
I've got to live my life
I've got a heart that beats
And nobody else has time
They ain't gonna keep me down
Cuz I've got to reach the top
I've got to get me some
I've got to have my rock

I used to sing songs at the break of the day
Zip a de do da, zip a dee ay
Workin' myself into a frenzy
But I don't do that no more no way

I used to likea learn how to speaka Chinese
Oh kudasai means "Baby, would ya please?"
Conjugatin' verbs with the greatest of ease
But I fell down hard on my bended knees

I feel like I've been run over by a truck
I don't care much about anything
I'm happy to sing
I'm lacking the passion to do anything
I feel like I've been run over by a truck
I don't care much about anything
So give me a ring
And tell me to wake up and do anything

I used to play b-ball down at the park (park)
Running up the sideline until it got dark (dark)
Outside step over with my right foot
Push off with the outside of my left foot

I used to chat up the girls out in the club
Looking for one of 'em to give me some love
The show wasn't over til the dough boy come home
Young fat dog I love everyone

I feel like I've been run over by a truck
I don't care much about anything
I'm happy to sing
I'm lacking the passion to do anything
I feel like I've been run over by a truck
I don't care much about anything
So give me a ring
Tell me to wake up and do anything

Grandma never was a pushover
Ain't nobody try to step to her
She could teach a common hustler to dance in France
Til a plane came a crashing down
On the way to see the Cleveland Brown
She was scrambling on fourth down
How I wish that I had been around
Oh
I wish that I had been around

I feel like I've been run over by a truck
I don't care much about anything
I'm happy to sing
I'm lacking the passion to do anything
I feel like I've been run over by a truck
I don't care much about anything
So give me a ring
Tell me to wake up and do anything
I feel like I've been run over by a truck

Fall leaves falling
Colder than air
Too bad she ain't coming
Alone right here

And I got the prettiest girl in the whole wide world
And nobody can take her from me
And if even when she goes out walking alone
I waited home patiently

I've never been so happy
I've never been so sure
Ohh...

Memories are gone
All in the wind
All the things return to me
All coming clear

I've got the prettiest girl in the whole wide world
And nobody can take her from me
And if even when she goes out walking alone
I waited home patiently

I've never been so happy
I've never been so sure
I've got the prettiest girl in the whole wide world
No one knows

Fun times are falling
All over again
Ten thousand calling
All of my time

I've got the prettiest girl in the whole wide world
And nobody can take her from me
And if even when she goes out walking alone
I waited home patiently

I've never been so happy
I've never been so sure

I've got the prettiest woman in the whole wide world
No one knows

Everything we fight for,
Seems to get shot down.
No one seems to notice,
It’s like we ain’t around.
They tear us into pieces,
And throw us here and there.
No one knows how much we care.
So much pain,
So many tears,
So much hurt.
When we gonna learn?
We got to give our best,
And push until we break on through.

[Chorus:]
We’re shooting straight for the top,
Our engine never will stop.
This is our destiny,
Nothing’s too good to be.
We know the score,
We’re gonna break down the door.
You wished you weren’t much,
this time we got a hunch,
We’re the underdogs.

The people that we trusted,
Really let us down.
Everybody wants to fly,
And never touch the ground.
They treat us like we’re pieces,
In a parlor game,
Leaving us to take the blame.
We don’t care,
We don’t mind,
We won’t come,
When they call.
We’re taking what they give,
Cause we can rise above it all.

[Chorus]

Feeling the pain,
Hearing the names,
We struggle to,
we are broken.
For all this hurt,
We thank you.

[Chorus]

The moon was shining on the lake at night
The slayer T-shirt fit the scene just right
Your smeared mascara
I looked into your eyes and saw a light

You told me stories about your chickadees
They didn’t like BB guns or stupid archery
And Shaun the lifeguard
He let them use the pool all day for free

Then the conversation stopped
And I looked down at my feet
I was next to you and you were right there next to me
Then I said

Girl, if you’re wondering if I want you to (I want you to)
I want you to
So make them move (make them move)
cause I ain’t got all night

The rest of the summer was the best we’ve ever had
We watched titanic and it didn’t make us sad
I took you to Best Buy
You took me home to meet your mom and dad

Your mom cooked meat loaf, even though I don’t eat meat
I dug you so much, I took some for the team
Your dad was silent His eyes were fixed to what was on TV

And the conversation stopped, and I looked down at the ring
Your folks were next to you
And you were right there next to me
And I said

Girl, if you’re wondering if I want you to (I want you to)
I want you to (I want you to)
I swear it’s true (swear it's true)
Without you my heart is blue
Girl, if you’re wondering if I want you to (I want you to)
I want you to (I want you to)
So make the move (make the move)
cause I ain’t got all night

So much pain may come our way
There may come a day when we have nothing left to say

When the conversation stops and we’re facing our defeat
I’ll be next to you and you’ll be right there next to me
Then I’ll say

Girl, if you’re wondering if I want you to (I want you to)
I want you to (I want you to)
I swear it’s true (swear it's true)
Without you my heart is blue ooooooh
Girl, if you’re wondering if I want you to (I want you to)
I want you to (I want you to)
So make the move (make the move)
Cause I ain’t got all night
