If I fell Down a big hole Would you tell How do you know It's a deepening well Like the big o I know, I know It's a bad scene to be whole It's a bad dream I hope Marie Marie To feel, to feel They're following me Marie Marie Go If I painted a tear Would you figure it out Would it make matters clear Would it shed some doubt It's been happening for years It's a roundabout I know, I know It's a bad scene to be whole It's a bad dream I hope Marie Marie To feel, to feel They're following me Marie Marie To feel Pull back from the front There's a bigger gap than you thought A bigger trap in which to be caught I've got to get away from the bricks All these straight lines are making me sick
There's a way to drive, i see it once in a while I watch the tail-lights and memorize I won't be too scared, i won't be too tired I'm becoming hard-wired Feeling hazy, waking up inertia I'm having dreams i'm in the wrong picture Am i older than you thought Did you get less than you bought Dan you wanna roast it dan We're gonna kick it in the head if we can Me i'm just, me i'm just, i never got to read the plan Dan you wanna roast it dan You know i never know the right way around I need a map to get us out of this town Now your hand is flashing danger I'm underdressed and you're getting stranger I can't tell you i'm incomplete You're gonna step on me
Three important rules for breaking up Don't put off breaking up when you know you want to Prolonging the situation only makes it worse Tell him honestly, simply, kindly, but firmly Don't make a big production Don't make up an elaborate story This will help you avoid a big tear-jerking scene If you want to date other people say so Be prepared for the boy to feel hurt and rejected Even if you've gone together for only a short time, And haven't been too serious There's still a feeling of rejection when someone says She preferres the company of others to your exclusive company But if you're honest, and direct And avoid making a flowery emotional speech when you break the news The boy will respect you for your frankness And honestly he'll apeciate the kind of straightfoward manner in which you told him your decision Unless he's a real jerk or a crybaby you will remain friends I'm head of the class I'm popular I'm a quarterback I'm popular My mom says I'm a catch I'm popular I'm never last picked I got a cheerleading chick Being attractive is the most important thing there is If you want to catch the biggest fish in your pond You have to be as attractive as possible Make sure to keep your hair spotless and clean Wash it at least every two weeks Once every two weeks And if you see Jonny football hero in the hall Tell him he played a great game Tell him you liked his article in the newspaper I'm the party star I'm popular I got my own car I'm popular I'll never get caught I'm popular I make football bets I'm a teacher's pet I propose we support a one-month limit on going steady I think it will keep people more able to deal with weird situations And get to know more people I think if you're ready to go out with Johnny Now's the time to tell him about your one-month limit He won't mind, he'll apreciate your fresh look on dating And once you've dated someone else you can date him again I'm sure he'll like did Everyone will appreciate it You're so novel, what a good idea You can keep you time to yourself You don't need date insurance You can go out with whoever you want to Every boy, every boy, in the whole world could be yours If you'll just listen to my plan The Teenage Guide To popularity I'm head of the class I'm popular I'm a quarterback I'm popular My mom says I'm a catch I'm popular I'm never last picked I got a cheerleading chick I'm the party star I'm popular I've got my own car I'm popular I'll never get caught I'm popular I'm a teacher's pet I make football bets
Step in my shoes, wait till you see the big flash now Glued to the sheets, sleep with the sheep all month long Easy to please, hard to believe it's a tease Stuck in a rut, we don't give a fuck if we're us Lie in a haze, hope it's a phase and not hate You know that i know that you know that i know that you know I want you to kiss me(8x) I try to open my eyes To the days going by But the trash in everything it keeps me hypnotized I'm hypnotized, i'm hypnotized I got the poison in me But it's amplified, amplified, amplified Step in my shoes, wait till you see the big flash now Lie in a haze, hope it's a phase and not hate Easy to please, hard to believe it's a tease You know that i know that you know that i know that you know I want you to kiss me(8x) I try to open my eyes To the days going by But the trash in everything it keeps me hypnotized I'm hypnotized, i'm hypnotized No TV(4x)
You say you wanna leave me, Say you wanna be free From everything you hate. Get yourself together, We'll always be together. Love, you just can not rate. Been so long since we hooked, Been so long since we took Time to get things right. But I'll be here forever, I'll lie to you forever. Now, it doesn't look bright. Nobody is killing more time than you and I. Everybody's willing somehow to say goodbye. I think we're getting used to, Used to be abused to. Doubt is all there is. We can not spread out wings out, Can not do a new thing. Drought on what we miss. When everything is falling, It's like we both are crawling Around and around again. Every fight is too long, Every word is too strong Bound to end it all, but when? The stalemate's on and what we had is dead and gone. It's like we just don't care. We're going nowhere. I wanna say goodbye. Yeah, I wanna say goodbye. Goodbye to our big life lie, nothing's gonna be alright. You know this is our best white lie. Nothing's gonna be alright. Doesn't matter how we try, I wanna ask you why we can't let it die? Even though we both have tried, you know I always question why. Why we just can't let it die? It's our big life lie.
I can see The things she does for me I'm living in a treehouse I live in constant fear Awakening must be near I'm sleeping in a dreamhouse Up in a tree I'm tired of the fork in the road It's pointing to Heaven But the sky is old I'm tired of the fork in the road It's pointing at nothing 'Cause it's all been sold I live with you To die in jamais vu I love you But this isn't true I'm tired of the fork in the road It's pointing to Heaven But the sky is old I'm tired of the fork in the road It's pointing at nothing 'Cause it's all been sold I can see The things she does for me I'm living in a treehouse I live in constant fear Awakening must be near Sleeping in a dreamhouse Waiting for the end
Stay until You're sure that i'm asleep Warm safe and very still Give all my things away Just wait until tomorrow Bury me in sorrow Cover me in joy Every afternoon i wasted being mad at You The things I never said The things I can't say tomorrow Bury me in sorrow Cover me in joy After death i'll think of You somehow I'll have an eternity to think about tomorrow I beg of You tomorrow Bury me in sorrow Cover me in joy
Take a look at what's been done The killing wound is the thousandth cut A dead turtle on the beach puts my happiness out of reach Sea sun sand self Sea sun sand Psychic caramel dimulants they're good for the undertow Better than a psychotic stimulant Word to your mother you know But it's a drag you know sometimes And it drags Sea sun sand self Sea sun sand We will always be the sea Years will be i, you will see Now i finally understand the Mother's belly is here with me Sea sun sand self Sea sun sand I'm going deaf and peaceful, i'm going for a walk The times i have the most to say are the times that i can't talk Psychic caramel dimulants They're good for the undertow Better than a psychotic stimulant Word to your mother you know But it's a drag you know sometimes And it drags Sea sun sand self Sea sun sand
Been trying to be cool ever since high school Cool like the stars and sexy people in bars The stars will fall they'll line up in the hall May sound nice, but it's ugly inside I lost all my pride Taken apart One more false start How do you think we're gonna do this time around You're the queen of sound Been trying to hear something complete No microtones and no backbeat Been trying to be cool ever since high school Cool like the stars and sexy people in bars
I'm going from strange to stranger every year I take it back you're panicking I just don't know I really thought I wanted to go But when we're close You look through me just like a ghost I like sleeping I'm only safe when i'm dreaming I need a new heart This one's hollow Always scheming You wait for summer And then you wait for winter But there's a total lack of splendor Zen brain throw away your crushes All your childhood crutches Super brain never scared of nothing Violence or loving my way Today
Hands up who thinks it's now Home base is the bathroom where the lights are bright It's never too late if you know how We got our own brand of hyperspace You cannot change anyone There is no peace, there's only sun When you wanna go, i know you will When you wanna go, i know you will And i can see it all and i'm ok, but i wish there was another way There's no right and there's no wrong There's just the balance of the things you know When you wanna go, i know you will When you wanna go, i know you will And i can see it all and i'm ok, but i wish there was another way And i can see it all and i'm ok, but i wish there was another way Hands up who thinks it's noooow Home base is the bathroom where the lights are bright When you wanna go, i know you will When you wanna go, i know you will And i can see it all and i'm ok, but i wish there was another way (x3)
You made me feel like I'm ok, I could be happy Now I can sit, not run away stupidly laughing Wipe out all self-pity, it's slowing me down. Turn off feeling pretty, dressing up dressing down. I walk around the city out of my way, looking for something I've got all that I need to save my day, so why'm I running? You said I should get professional help, it always makes me cry. I know I'm just an amateur, but I've gotta try. I had a birthday party and it was packed, got friends who love me We hung a disco ball up and watched the lights, they were so lovely You said I should get professional help, it always makes me cry. I know I'm just an amateur, but I've gotta try. I've gotta try. When exactly are we? I get the decades mixed up. I like the streets when they're empty, I can make the rest up. I can make the rest up, I can make the rest up. I walk around the city out of my way, looking for something I've got all that I need to save my day, so why'm I running? You said I should get professional help, it always makes me cry. I know I'm just an amateur, but I've gotta try. Every day is New Year's Eve, Every night is the last night. Every day is New Year's Eve, Every time is the last time. You said I should get professional help, It always makes me cry I know I'm just an amateur, but I've gotta try, I've gotta try.
Clusters of people talking secretly to each other In a bar you cannot talk openly To anyone you don't already know 4-year-olds, they've got the right idea They jump the line and hit it on the nose When we sit and we get quiet Then we look and see who's home across the way There are 80 windows we can see It's Christmastime and they all have the same tree You tell me the patterns you already see I wonder if they see us in our bed You said you like the one With the father who always eats with his son I like the rows of lights because they keep me calm I feel far away from you, so what else is new? The moon is closer to the sun than I am to anyone When we sit and we get quiet Then we look and see who's home across the way You said you like the one With the father who always eats with his son I like the rows of lights because they keep me calm I feel far away from you, so what else is new? The moon is closer to the sun than I am to anyone I feel far away from you, so what else is new? The moon is closer to the sun than I am to anyone The moon is closer to the sun than I am to anyone The moon is closer to the sun than I am to anyone
I wanna know, do you have the balls to ask? What do you see when you look at a girl? Is she a game you wanna win? If no-one was looking what would you do to get in? Do you have friends who would be proud if you went in for the kill? Do you have friends who would do it even against her will? What if they did that to your sister? What if they did that to your mother? What if they did that to your sister? What if they did that to your mom? Why are we so slow? I bet you think you're such a hottie, but a body afraid is not a sexual body. What do you see when you look at a girl? Is she a game you wanna win? If no-one was looking what would you do to get in? Everybody's been laughed at and everybody's been left out but That's no excuse to turn it around, no boy has the right to hold a girl down. What if they did that to your sister? What if they did that to your mother? What if they did that to your sister? What if they did that to your mom? On your star wars sheets when you set the scene, Was she seducing you, or did she want to scream? It's you versus you. x3 versus me It's you versus you. x3 versus me I can't forget that tomorrow's mother's day.x4 I'm talking to you, you know who you are, going too far.x2 You'll feel good for ten seconds, she'll be screwed up for life.x2 Blue balls and all of that bullshit.x4
Why do i feel bad again? I shouldn't be sad or miss a grin. Doubt creeps in and doubt creeps out, Skews the view from my cloud. Troublemaker tempting fate, Questioning the path i take, Showing me the twists and turns, The forks and points of no return. I would hold my breath so long To wash ashore where i belong. Broken roses on the steps, Like promises i never kept. Promises i never made But could have honored anyway. Tied to years, slave to fears, I will always hold you dear. Tired, troubled but sincere, Wishing... fuck the rime. Wishing i had a time To wish you mine. Every day i choose to spend the rest of my life with her And every day i break the molds of lives and worlds. I already miss the things that i will never know. I will never know the things that i've already missed. I would hold my breath so long To wash ashore where i belong. I would hold my breath so long To wash ashore where i belong.
When you walk home from the party Drunk on bacardi and listening To the voices that lie to you nightly, Make you frightened of everyone, Make you sorry for something. You go home and spend your life alone with the stereo, Watching the late show; or force yourself Out in the night to meet your generation. You feel like claymation in fluorescent light. On our knees, we made it hard to see, We made it hard to breathe and the air was thin.
I only wanna say things that are pure: now i won't be talking anymore. I only wanna do things that are true. every time i move i'm hurting you. I wanna know what is it that you do To keep from hurting anyone but you? Cause i still say your name when i don't feel right, just like i used to And if most people fade to gray and black, you'll fade to light blue. I think too much and then start talking mean. Where did i get all these selfish genes? Best friends, i'm a bad best friend. I'll meet you today when no-one is watching. We'll throw our money away, i'll meet you today.
Why do i worry, what do they think? What is she saying to them? I can't ignore anything. You're eating up my world like my every second was haunted. Were you just like this since you were a girl, cause it's all i've ever wanted. I'm just like you, peel away the layers two by two. You're just like me, piling on the pressure three by three. We're almost done shutting out the voices one by one. Why do i worry, what do they think? What is she telling her friends? i can't ignore anything. I'm planning out my moves like my every second was graded. I'm obsessed, i get no rest.
This time the win is mine My perfect life Room spin, don't know how to stop Don't know how to start Firecracker The one you keep inside Firecracker You don't know how to light So sink in the tailspin of plans and sleep Or come and crush me tight My favorite high Here comes the film, PG-13 Crackdown No net, no cage No first mistake
You see yourself sitting on top so self assured - happy, But when your parents bail you out you somehow feel not free. You're bored to tears in school, it's not like what you thought at all. Trouble is not the answer. i know what you want to know: Slow down; Why you wanna move so fast? Why you wanna walk so far? I think i know what you want. Your father toys with you hoping his evil game will win. In order not to loose, the trick is not to play with him. Anything good you do is added to your past - your wealth. You'll need it all the day you finally choose to ask yourself: Slow down; Why you wanna move so fast? Why you wanna walk so far? Wait and find out who you are And how you're gonna make it last. Something's gonna change, now re-spell your name. Tired of highs and lows, now derail your train. And if this letter finds you lost and out of touch - lonely, I hope you know by now you mean so very much to me.
You're just walking round your little mazes Figuring out how to get by How to get laid and get famous Get yourself paid, impress the guys You're taught to divide The world into buddies and wives Sluts and wimps And ever since You've kept a score card How else to prove you're such the pimp You are just a robot Executing a program Get on a train where the crowd is tightening To push yourself up against a girl And when you're not getting play You keep trying You don't understand the consensual way You are just a robot Executing a program You are just a robot An imitation of a man She told me one night When we were lying quiet and cold Something not right It had months since the good times Once there was sun Now there was night She said to me As she turned on the light "There's something you don't know That keeps me from feeling right, I once knew a guy, I'd seen him around, He knew all my friends, he came from town One night at a party, we both were there He followed me into the bathroom, he grabbed my hair" And she said "I still remember Just how the floor felt And how my head would hit the tub." Now where is that robot, Is he alive or is he done? Does he breathe air that I breathe? Is he kept warm by the same sun? You are just a robot Executing a program An imitation of a man Executing a program An imitation of a man An imitation of a man An imitation of a man An imitation of a man An imitation of a man
Don't know what to say Don't know what to talk about Don't know what to do About me and you I don't know what to think I always feel time's running out It's getting harder Harder to get a clue Even when we're quiet fighting Silent treatment on the street Still there's no doubt we're going home together Even when we're silent fighting Making a scene on the street We'll be under the covers and out of the weather I just can't tell the truth Always thinking 'bout leaving you I'll be the captive You'll be the captain I'll be your chaperone I'll book your first date now Been watching too much television Been thinking stupid thoughts So confused about men and women I just can't tell the truth Always thinking 'bout leaving you
Do you remember lying on the ground You were smart and spooky We rented a car and left our bands And drove outside the city I remember the view It was the stars and you We thought that this was the one Both of our ships had come When I went away you made me a book Full of goodnight letters I answered each one and we made plans For when we'd be together But when we wanted more And told you I wasn't sure It started a storm You think it's all my fault I think it's all your fault But we were never so together Everywhere we went Was everywhere we went Some people thought we were fighting Trying to read each other's writing How can you resurrect straight into a wreck?
In the blizzard of '77 The cars were just lumps on the snow And then later Tripping in 7-11 The shelves were stretching out of control On a plane ride The more it shakes The more i have to let go Now the signals Still getting all mixed up We're always doing damage control But in the middle of the night i worry It's blurry even without light I know i have got a negative edge That's why i sharpen all the others a lot It's like flowers or ladybugs Pretty weeds or red beetles with dots (Repeat) I miss you more than i knew
Don't push me cause I'll fall in love With whatever you just said Don't push me cause I'll fall in love With the way you wear your head Out in the corner You're glowing white Out in the corner You're glowing white I want to want you I need to need you I'd love to love you I want to want you I need to need you I'm begging to beg you Out in the corner You're glowing white Out in the corner You're glowing white I'd like to say goodbye To a complicated mind But when I walk and wave I'm stalked all day By california lives And things I didn't try Ways you were unkind And the strangest colored eyes Out in the corner You're glowing white Out in the corner You're glowing white
Left some food wrapped up In a plastic bag On the kitchen table Way too long I sat down to eat Next to the bag I was too tired To throw it out I saw a swarm of fruit flies I took the bag downstairs When i came back They were still there Flying jerky patterns Like snowflakes in the air I'm sorry you've got nowhere to go. (X2) Left straight right straight I can't find a reason I know i'll keep going but I can't find a reason Nothing looks right Nothing smells right And i can't land Geometric patterns Smearing out of control Only have enough gas left For the beer can to the bowl What can you do but go on? (X3) Oh no you make your own mistakes I cannot bring them back to you Oh no you make your own mistakes I cannot measure up to you. (X2)
Cats and dogs are coming down 14th street is gonna drown Everyone else rushing around I've got Blonde on Blonde On my portable stereo It's a lullaby From a giant golden radio I've got no time I want to lose To people with something to prove What can you do but let them talk And make your way down the block I've got Blonde on Blonde On my portable stereo It's a lullaby From a giant golden radio I've got Blonde on Blonde On my portable stereo It's a lullaby From a giant golden radio I've got Blonde on Blonde On my portable stereo It's a lullaby From a giant golden radio It's a lullaby From a giant golden radio It's a lullaby From Wonder golden radio It's a lullaby From Wonder Woman's radio It's a lullaby It's a lullaby It's a lullaby It's a lullaby It's a lullaby It's a lullaby
Watching terrible tv, it kills all thought Getting spacier than an astronaut Making out with people I hardly know or like I can't believe what I do, late at night I wanna know what it's like On the inside of love I'm standing at the gates I see the beauty above Only when we get to see the aerial view Will the patterns show, we'll know what to do I know the last page so well, I can't read the first So I just don't start, it's getting worse I wanna know what it's like On the inside of love I'm standing at the gates I see the beauty above I wanna know what it's like On the inside of love I can't find my way in I try again and again I'm on the outside of love Always under or above I can't find my way in I try again and again I'm on the outside of love Always under or above Must be a different view To be a me with a you I wanna know what it's like On the inside of love I'm standing at the gates I see the beauty above I wanna know what it's like On the inside of love Of course I'll be alright I just had a bad night I had a bad night
Do you ever feel like you just landed on this earth? You see the creatures all do their dances back and forth You get restless and then you join them on the floor Suddenly it's tomorrow It's not today anymore (X2) Chorus: You talk to the ceiling every day The speakers are shaking Why do i hear you okay? They're playing soul at the wrong speed It sounds right now What are you doing to me? D'you ever feel like what we call real life is not so real? Tripping up on the same old problems you had last year We'll pretend it's another planet not so uptight The stars are shining above the city every night They come every night Chorus (x1) Where are we going? I don't care Our friends all left Let's go anywhere It's getting late I don't care It's just you and me Let's go anywhere
There's no quick fix You gotta take your licks Strange times long lines There are no clean cups You gotta mess it up To see why you cry Chorus: I can't stay home at night I'm drawn out like a moth to lamplight Do I speak or hold you tight? The words were voted out by a landslide Come on now You've got to try it out You're killing time You're killing mine Don't go I'll never know When you're away I sleep all day Nothing works And thinking hurts You belong to me In my dreams Chorus (x1)
I'm putting this night down to bed 'Cause I was sitting at the bar Hoping you'd walk in the door that says Killian's red 'Cause I left you a note that said Come on out and we'll both get right off of our heads And float up off the chair We'll go on vacation tonight Under a sun of neon light And I almost love this town when I'm by your side You woke me from a long sleep and I'm almost back Closer than ever to finding the hidden track If I told you the truth you wouldn't like what I said I almost believed I was dead There'll be no more waiting You're gonna melt all the ice in my head There'll be no more crying You're gonna make it all better instead I'm putting this night down to bed 'Cause I was sitting at the bar Hoping you'd walk in the door that says Killian's red 'Cause I left you a note that said Come on out and we'll both get right off of our heads And float up off the chair I get secrets at night But they don't stay I get secrets at night But they go away We'll go on vacation tonight Under a sun of neon light And I almost love this town when I'm by your side You woke me from a long sleep and I'm almost back Closer than ever to finding the hidden track If I told you the truth you wouldn't like what I said I almost believed I was dead There'll be no more waiting You're gonna melt all the ice in my head There'll be no more crying You're gonna make it all better instead
Pense a moi la prochaine fois que Tu entendra la rumeur des vagues Et si elles te disent que tu m'as fait Que du mal, t'en fais pas J'suis la pour ca La mer connait pas le fil du temps Qui nous rapproche et nous separe Vive la maree haute et vive la basse Mais surtout vive la difference J'suis la pour ça Laisse couler le bateau Oublie tes moeurs Laisse-toi aller et n'ai pas peur Les mecs c'est des salauds Mais peut-être pas tous Remplis ton verre et a nos amours Les mecs c'est des salauds Mais peut-être pas tous Remplis ton verre et a nos amours J'suis la pour ça J'suis la pour ça J'suis la pour ça
I'm just a happy kid Stuck with the heart of a sad punk Drowning in my id Always searching like it's on junk No matter who I hang out with I can hear the clack-clunk Of the chains that pull the cars up The roller coaster mountain top so high When it comes down it shoots back up Straight back to the sky I gotta laugh and then I'm asleep And then I walk around and wanna cry Out at night to do the strand The little candles make the bottles glow Got ink all over my right hand Getting crushes with no chance to grow It's like I'll never ever land There's always too much sun Or too much snow Chorus: I get slow days and no days I get rusty and it's hard But I get notions and oceans Are coming to my call (Interlude) You can learn to get along (x4) Chorus (x1) And I'm just a happy kid Stuck with the heart of a sad punk Drowning in my id Always searching like it's on junk No matter who I hang out with I can hear the clack-clunk Of the chains that pull the cars up The roller coaster mountain top so high When it comes down it shoots back up Straight back to the sky I gotta laugh and then I'm asleep And then I walk around and wanna cry I'm just a happy kid (x4)
Movies like zoos Try another me and I will Try another you Or put my arms around you Like I think you want me to But tell me what you're thinking I so often misconstrue Treading water Treading white wine Seeing borders seeing straight lines I get these feelings that I don't have much time Always rushing always late (x2) Movies like zoos I talk to missionaries when they're standing at my door They tell me what I should be reading I still can't see what for We both stand there politely trying to change each other's core When other angels float by They seem likely to fall from the sky What I want is difficult I must try I see traces when you walk Other voices when you talk When you talk When other angels float by They seem likely to fall from the sky What I want is difficult I must try I see traces when you walk Treading water Treading white wine Seeing borders seeing straight lines I get these feelings that I don't have much time Always rushing always late (x2) Always late (x2) I'm always rushing Always late (x4) I'm always rushing (x2) Always late
Sit on a train, reading a book Same damn planet every time I look Try to relax and slow my heartbeat Only works when I'm dead asleep Been thinking and drinking all over the town Must be gearing up for some kind of meltdown All I am is a body floating downwind All I am is a body floating downwind What's wrong?

In my dreams I love you like A snowstorm in the night The window's open wide Here comes reflected light We can keep the covers up We bet it all on love But do dreams ever do damage to life? When you need so much You can't get it right Who else is here today? I'm alone but can't obey Swim on my back at night Near my clothes and a flashlight I look in the mirror Why am i complicated? I'm trying to see clearer The sun has faded In my dreams i love you like A snowstorm in the night The window's open wide Here comes reflected light But do dreams ever do damage to life? When you need so much You can't get it right Who else is here today? I'm alone but can't obey Swim on my back at night Near my clothes and a flashlight I look in the mirror I look in the mirror
I was about to change But you stayed the same Had pinned against the wall That we are pre-ordained If they gave you extra scenes You'd hit back to main Disappear by train Cut my signal chain Find a stable girl And fill it up again You can't foresee intent When the writer writes all bent Armies walk inside of me Armies walk physically Every day I steal a car That's how hard it is to Get away from where you are Disappear by train Cut my signal chain Find a stable world And fill it up again You can't foresee intent When the writer writes all bent Armies walk inside of me Armies walk physically We'd like you to leave Coz we've gotta breathe Who's to say Why we're built so strange Disappointing ourselves Before we change? Grass is greener right over here Why do simple things Take so many years?

Outside just killing time and making noise And outside the daylight comes, the daylight goes and weightless If its weightless it makes no stairways to stairs that go nowhere And don't dream, that is a dream it is what it seems Climbing from over stimulated states to hearing Cold radio and licenses plates but don't dream, That is a dream it is what it seems That is a dream it is what it seems Behind every desire is another one waiting to be liberated when the first ones sated Water skiing, the waters hot, the waters soft You act nice, a black birthday card I threw it away Correct life, is like eating steel or flying a plane It's too bright, it's too bright Outside just killing time and making noise And outside the daylight comes, the daylight goes and weightless If its weightless it makes no stairways to stairs that go nowhere Climbing from over stimulated states to hearing Cold radio and licenses plates but don't dream, That is a dream it is what it seems That is a dream it is what it seems Why do black hats hide behind each others backs all the time? Behind every desire is another one waiting to be liberated when the first ones sated
And so we meet and there are sparks, Its gold it's new and free from sharks, Your house is big it seems so clean, Your cleaning lady comes and we're discreet. Are you lightning? 'Cause I'm waiting. What's the timing? I'm not playing. And so I act like I'm 21, Wide eyed and drifting unto sun, Pay back is here my legs are numb, I'm back, it's square one feeling dumb. The sweet things, When do they come? Have I gone deaf? What's the song? Are you lightning? 'Cause I'm waiting, This is frightening, I'm not playing. Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh... Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh... I see you in my sheets, I see you in my sleep, I see you through the mirror You sing we're not to steal. The only thing I'm scared of is the secret that you keep, I know where you are, I dunno where you are. Don't make the other wonder the others might sting, Tell me what you're thinking, Do not let me twist. Just look at the size of you. I see you in my sheets, I see you in my sleep, I see you with something that's funny I hear you I almost weep, I see you from my steps, you're walking up my street, But just look at the size of you. I see you in my sheets, I see you in my sleep, I see you from my steps you're walking up my street. And just look at the size of you, The sun shine on and on... The sun shine on and on...

Here comes the hot feeling again When I hear his name I clearly have no control Can't help wondering If herein gone like a wave I forget but then start rememberin' The devil in my mind, why can't he go home? Are we on our way? I do not want to be in this song Sung while the summer rots and the hots hot Where is the wind? Why does it feel still again? Can't think along these lines I'm gonna live a long time Not along these lines I'm gonna live a long time When it goes black it goes black so fast No good state lasts What I get slow is how to bounce back You'll have to invent what you lack Now it's hunting season for sleeping demons I want your attention, your invention For every new reason, do you know how I need it? But oh your face and everything that you say And oh your face and everything that you say And oh your face and everything that you say I almost thought you stopped talking to me Your call came like a wave of relief I'm such a lucky mess I just need some rest Take me along From now on Take me along From now on I'm gonna live a long time I'm gonna live a long time I'm gonna live a long time
I am made of Sopwith Camel Sherman PT-17, sixty and cloudy, I go slow Compared to modernity I am a humming bee Sweater-weather and Hugs and drugs and movies But baby ice Is growing on the wing Baby ice is growing on the wing You rolled the dice but You didn't know anything Underneath the oxide Underneath the oxide It's all the same song I am made of no newspapers When the V-1 buzzing stopped Only prayers I am made of young curiosity, deluded piety Double-whiskey for the men Don't talk to thy neighbour If they don't take your same lord as saviour In a songless meeting house Proud to be the only ones Who get saved in the end From hugs and drugs and movies But baby ice Is growing on the wing Baby ice is growing on the wing You rolled the dice but You didn't know anything What if I start now? Just like someone's watching me Somebody's watching me What if I start now? Just like someone's watching me But baby ice Is growing on the wing Baby ice is growing on the wing Baby ice is growing on the wing Baby ice is growing on the wing Underneath the oxide Underneath the oxide Underneath the oxide It's all the same
The fox, the fox Lied Eyes under my prize The fox, the fox Lied Fox eyes under my prize We're in a different war With ourselves, and with some of you So many things that don't hold true With the fear that dims our light With the barnacles on our right On the grass, beachy head On the cliff to which you've been lead The curve of the hill is green and soft As if the wind would hold you aloft Its how you feel for me now, not how you felt Its how you deal with envy, not how you dealt Recognise and send away, set it asail Serenity inside of me We're in a different war With ourselves, and with some of you So many things that can't be true On the grassy beachy head On the cliff where you were laid The curve, the hill is green and soft As if the wind would hold you Serenity inside of me Set asail But you'll sail alone If you don't hold the rope You'll go alone
The shutter clicked, but the film did not go 'round The shutter clicked, but the film did not go 'round I touch these strings, but cannot touch the sound Take a train to a bus, and then into the air Take a train to a bus, and then into the air If I had wings, I'd follow you up there Girl you know I hate to see you go I hate to see you go But the sunlight follows you right down the road Just the thought of you makes me wanna cry Just the thought of you makes me wanna cry This deep well of tears has just run dry You showed me just how easy love could be You showed me just how silly love could be But everything, you showed me gracefully Everyone's gotta leave their love sometime Everyone's gotta leave their love sometime If not now, then at the end of your life-time You'll be waiting by my bed I know You'll be waiting by my bed I know And your last little words will be i love you so The shutter clicked, but the film did not go 'round The shutter clicked, but the film did not go 'round I touch these strings, but cannot touch the sound

I want to go to the party Where the music's always on It's always someone's favorite song Like everyone's on tour And nobody has to be anywhere anymore White pedal When you try Black pedal You give up quick You're ready to hide I want to know how I feel for you Not to vote, decide Like half of nature died Leaving only my name Ain't no reason to go anywhere out in this rain I want to be with you And you're in my house No worries, life is on And all our jobs are done Like you and me are on tour We're drinking wine and we're rolling around on the floor I'm coming over - saying hello I'm coming over - saying hello I'm coming over - saying hello I'm coming over - saying hello Each slot goes to only one side Each bird goes to only one pile I'm coming over - saying hello I'm coming over - saying hello I want to go to the party Where the music's always on It's always someone's favorite song Like everyone's on tour And nobody has to be anywhere anymore
I wouldn't mind if I could find A little electrocution. Sometimes I feel I need it here, A little electrocution. The wire's hot, lights are red A sparkle straight to my heart I'm still livin' in the dark I'm still livin' in the dark I wouldn't mind if I could find A little electrocution. My despair flows everywhere To a little electrocution Spools of coil across the sky Unraveling out for miles I've been bangin' on diles (not sure about this word) I've been bangin' on diles I wouldn't mind if I could find A little electrocution. I need a jolt some thunderbolts Of a little electrocution No one loves you like I do No one loves you like, you know, I do All there is is beautiful All there is needs to die I've been wandering why I've been wandering why I wouldn't mind if I could find A little electrocution. I'm down quite beneath the light Of a little electrocution I wouldn't mind if I could find A little electrocution. Sometimes I feel I need it here,
Words like violence Break the silence Come crashing in Into my little world Painful to me Pierce right through me Can't you understand Oh, my little girl All I ever wanted All I ever needed Is here in my arms Words are very unnecessary They can only do harm Vows are spoken To be broken Feelings are intense Words are trivial Pleasures remain So does the pain Words are meaningless And forgettable All I ever wanted All I ever needed Is here in my arms Words are very unnecessary They can only do harm All I ever wanted All I ever needed Is here in my arms Words are very unnecessary They can only do harm All I ever wanted All I ever needed Is here in my arms Words are very unnecessary They can only do harm All I ever wanted All I ever needed Is here in my arms Words are very unnecessary They can only do harm
There's a cat in my alleyway Dreaming of birds that are blue Sometimes, girl, when I'm lonely This is how I think about you There are times that I want you I want you so much I could burst I know a thing about lovers Lovers lie down in trust Love goes on anyway Love goes on anyway The people next door got their problems They got things they can't name I know a thing about lovers Lovers don't feel any shame Late at night with the lights down low The candle burns to the end I know a thing about darkness Darkness ain't my friend Love goes on anyway Love goes on anyway I'm gonna make you happy I'm gonna spin you around I'm gonna cut your strings I put my foot flat down on the floor I took it as far as I could I took it down there to Sheridan Street By the dark wood Late at night when I want you I lock you in my room I know a thing about darkness I know a thing about lovers I know a thing about lovers Lovers want the moon Love goes on anyway Love goes on anyway Love goes on anyway Love goes on anyway
It's such a joke, what he asked me to do He must think I'm a fool Janine, don't go with those guys What's in it for you? In another day Your dream, it will appear I touched you on the arm I meant you no harm It's such a joke, what he asked me to do He must think I'm a fool Janine, you know I'm your friend Whatever they say In another day Your dream, it will appear I touched you on the arm You were so warm
You were so warm You melted me in your arms We were so young You made me come undone Anyway, I told you That more than that I didn't want to go 'Cause you were so warm You were so warm Oh, so warm I was young I didn't want to go 'Cause you were so warm You were so warm Mmm, you were so warm I couldn't find The way to make you mine You were so kind Laid it on the line Anyway, remember, as time goes by That I didn't want to go I didn't want to go 'Cause you were so warm You were so warm You were so warm Ah, you were so warm
It lay buried here. It lay deep inside me. It's so deep I don't think that I can speak about it. It could take me all of my life, But it would only take a moment to Tell you what I'm feeling, But I don't know if I'm ready yet. You come walking into this room Like you're walking into my arms. What would I do without you? Take away the love and the anger, And a little piece of hope holding us together. Looking for a moment that'll never happen, Living in the gap between past and future. Take away the stone and the timber, And a little piece of rope won't hold it together. If you can't tell your sister, If you can't tell a priest, 'Cause it's so deep you don't think that you can speak about it To anyone, Can you tell it to your heart? Can you find it in your heart To let go of these feelings Like a bell to a Southerly wind? We could be like two strings beating, Speaking in sympathy... What would we do without you? Two strings speak in sympathy. Take away the love and the anger, And a little piece of hope holding us together. Looking for a moment that'll never happen, Living in the gap between past and future. Take away the stone and the timber, And a little piece of rope won't hold it together. We're building a house of the future together. (What would we do without you?) Well, if it's so deep you don't think that you can speak about it, Just remember to reach out and touch the past and the future. Well, if it's so deep you don't think you can speak about it, Don't ever think that you can't change the past and the future. You might not, not think so now, But just you wait and see--someone will come to help you.
All I ever asked of you Was a copy of Garage Days And to tell me the truth Ain't no one watching you Exit Ventura Highway It's like I knew two of you, man The one before and after we shook hands Taking the calls But in all forgetting what's been said And after dark in a cab in L.A. Forget about the meter, man These are salad days Comes on the radio Comes on and what's being said Is you're no better than (Sylvia) No better than (Sylvia) No better than (Sylvia) Where you are (Where you've been) No better than (Sylvia, Sylvia) No better than (Sylvia) Where you are No better than (Where you've been) Where you are And where you've been And where you've gone, oh no Here's a mark, he's a mark on the page Dishing out the wisdom of this reflexive age Dotting the eyes with an eye For defining what you were So when you do that line tonight Remember that it came at a steep price And keep telling yourself There's more to you than her 'Cause you're no better than (Sylvia) No better than (Sylvia) No better than (Sylvia) Where you are (Where you've been) No better than (Sylvia, Sylvia) No better than Where you are (Where you've been) No better than Where you are, where you been And where you gone, oh no Where you gone, oh no No, no, no, no, no, no No, no, no, no
Puisqu'il faut une fin, Puisqu'on ne se verra plus jamais De la vie Sur la bouche Ou en douce Puisque meme un rien Puisque tu as trop peur Que je ne vois plus mes pieds Dans quelque ete Tu diras juste Bye Bye, Bye Bye Beaute Bye Bye, Bye Bye Beaute S'il faut un coupable, S'il te faut un motif Alors dessine-le A meme le sable A meme l'ete Nous rentrerons a Paris Le coeur bien lourd Un vendredi En trois mots Vers la bouche De metro Bye Bye, Bye Bye Beaute Bye Bye, Bye Bye Beaute Bye Bye, Bye Bye Beaute Bye Bye, Bye Bye Beaute A finira comme je l'ai dit Dans les larmes, sous la pluie Tout finira comme je l'ai predit Sans vacarme, sans un cri, Peut-etre meme un vendredi Sous une rame, a Bastille, A finira comme je l'ai dit Comme une panne dans la vie
Why do we never get an answer When we're knocking at the door? With a thousand million questions About hate and death and war. It's where we stop and look around us There is nothing that we need. In a world of persecution That is burning in it's greed. Why do we never get an answer When we're knocking at the door? Because the truth is hard to swallow That's what the wall of love is for. It's not the way that you say it When you do those things to me. It's more the way that you mean it When you tell me what will be. And when you stop and think about it You won't believe it's true. That all the love you've been giving Has all been meant for you. I'm looking for someone to change my life. I'm looking for a miracle in my life. And if you could see what it's done to me To lose the the love I knew Could safely lead me through. Between the silence of the mountains And the crashing of the sea There lies a land I once lived in And she's waiting there for me. But in the grey of the morning My mind becomes confused Between the dead and the sleeping And the road that I must choose. I'm looking for someone to change my life. I'm looking for a miracle in my life. And if you could see what it's done to me To lose the the love I knew Could safely lead me to The land that I once knew. To learn as we grow old The secrets of our souls. It's not the way that you say it When you do those things to me. It's more the way you really mean it When you tell me what will be. Why do we never get an answer When we're knocking at the door? With a thousand million questions About hate and death and war. It's where we stop and look around us There is nothing that we need. In a world of persecution That is burning in it's greed. Why do we never get an answer When we're knocking at the door?

No te gusta nada de lo que hay aquí, Buscas vida extraterrestre. En mi nave tengo sitio, vamonos, Vamos a ninguna parte. Evolución Evolución Desde que eras muy pequeña te gustó, Escuchar como crugía tu motor. Llevame contigo, llevame de aqui, Que me estrelle si soy feliz. Evolución Evolución Es un bicho raro, cambia de color Su cabeza distorsiona, es un ciclón Pero si me dice, ven y vamonos. Yo contigo, al fin del mundo Evolución Evolución Evolución Evolución Evolución

When I see your stripes They're all I've wanted You visit me every night My dreams are haunted Maybe we live too close And we need a river between You can't tell the letter's gold but You don't seem to shiver Friends say it will let go If I give it time But this oven is burning coal I got a big supply I always feel this fool And believe you're mine One day, I'll love somebody else One day, I'll take care of myself When I'm upside mind I know I can't have you But that means that half the time I only think that it's half true When you wrote goodbye You said that was it for you But you see the thing that you don't get Is every time you ride it's like you're starting something new One day, I'll love somebody else One day, I'll take care of myself Every time my phone rings Every time something comes in I pretend, I believe that it's you There's something that I have to you Listen to our hearts, mind says I don't know Friends say it will let go If I give it time But this oven is burning coal I got a big supply I always feel this fool And believe you're mine One day, I'll love somebody else One day, I'll be good to myself Do you know I believe you're mine Didn't you know?

We are travelling daily by the hour Moods clouding mountains ideas like towers Choosing sides, digging in, then changing Hearts and minds are chafing from all the rearranging So much better that we're not together Cause I will not lose you Or be the blues to you Friend hospital Wild sadness knew weakness I wish the sun would come through the walls And find you where ever when you call Give you the time and the will that you want When you finally learn you can't always get what you haul So much better that we're not together Cause I will not lose you Or be the blues to you Friend hospital Wild sadness knew weakness Wild sadness knew weakness Awkward limo, fantastic cemetary Reading from a list of your greatest hits You're dropping them all the time It's like landing on my favorite planet When you're crackling through the line So glad you called Sharp advice saves my life So much better that we're not together Cause I will not lose you Or be the blues to you Friend hospital Wild sadness knew weakness Wild sadness knew weakness Wild sadness knew weakness Wild sadness knew weakness
There's a new bird at my window It wasn't there before The other one's not singing anymore Scores of demons have been fading Slowly through the night They melt into the walls and out of sight Oh my family split in two When my dad after the war Said he didn't worship with his parents anymore He kept flying back from school Still trying to be a decent son But when he knocked on their front door They wouldn't come All the rules you hold to They're only there to numb you So you don't ask a question when you feel If every non-believer is a non-receiver There's a reason right there To raise your hand Fifty years later and we met them Though I wish them well It's strange they think I'm going straight to hell There's a new bird at my window It wasn't there before The other one's not singing anymore
Nothing happens for a reason Nothing was meant to be It's the way we explain all the seasons From the summer to the dying leaves No one knows how the story goes Everybody looks ahead Fate doesn't mean there's nothing you can do There's a reason to get out of bed You don't have to run around a park You don't have to be some kind of hero But it'd be good to get out of the dark And get yourself around some other people Not everyone can make New York feel new Or wipe away a past that brings you sadness But you'd be surprised by what moving can do I've heard that work can tamp down madness You don't have to run around a park You don't have to be some kind of hero But it'd be good to get out of the dark And get yourself around some other people You don't have to run around a park You don't have to be some kind of hero But it'd be good to get out of the dark And get yourself around some other people
I shut down I don't know why Thought I didn't need Another star in the sky I closed off Thought I didn't have rules For the risk it will take What I thought I could lose You come rushing at me And I forget my body You come rushing at me And I forget my body You come rushing at me And I forget my worries Human river I watched it go by I set on the banks Solitary and dry I replayed The films in my life Thought I'd come to the end I told myself it was fine And you, you let me in and I, I let you in and We, we are transported and You, you let me in and I, I let you in and We, are elevated Finally I got it You come rushing at me And I forget my body You come rushing at me And I forget my body You come rushing at me And I forget my worries I haven't landed Since I don't know when And now I feel like I can breathe again I see the street lights Land on your skin Land on your skin You come rushing at me And I forget my body You come rushing at me And I forget my body You come rushing at me And I forget my worries I haven't landed Since I don't know when And now I feel like I can breathe again
Well I used to get high And dance all around the house Cleaning rearranging While I'd let it all out Those happy times I'd say to myself This is it don't stop All will be well If you only never stop the clock Gotta learn to cut losses And recognise new truths Or you'll never get anywhere that is of any use Sometimes you can't see the sea Even from the boat So whatever hints you get You better hurry and take note I'm here because I knew that this time I'd be haunted Visited by peaceful ghosts who knew what I really wanted Here's hoping I could be you and I make a toast I'm here because they call it foreign And I felt so slow but I heard you calling Now you're gone and you're all I want I forgot that's what people do They pair off two by two Until one of them turns blue Don't have much practice in really needing someone So I need you to show me how it can be sensibly done 'Cause I need you like a string needs a kite to get to the sky I look for the sound of the wind to put in my headphones To help these walls dissolve take me to another zone 'Cause I'm an animal and I have one life You're an animal and you have one life Do do do do do do do Do do do do do do Do do do do do Do do
You know, you know the feeling It starts with just a little tingling Something's not right Something don't fit You gotta change something Look for it You know who you are (Maybe you used to) You know what to do (Or you will) No amount of advice (If well-intended) Can really change you Maybe you had dreams thrust upon you Wagers with strangers on the tennis court (Hey play my son for 10G) You want to quit your job in four weeks Convert your van's inside to all teak If you took a wrong turn There's still road to burn Maybe no harm done You'll get another run If you feel too hard Everywhere's off guard There's no space In the square at night Earplugs pushed in tight I'm no place You know who you are (Maybe you used to) You know what to do (Or you will) No amount of advice (If well-intended) Can really change you

There're so many noises (Ooh) You're gonna be just fine (Ooh) It might take some time But you gotta know it's gonna be okay Just wait Just wait We're hollow and stressed The worst and the best They say you get just one try But that's just a lie It's a long life And time doesn't fly When it feels too big And you can't find your place You've got too many choices Are you the only one Who doesn't know their way?

My headphones are playing a duet With a fire engine I walk through the cloud of an ex And I feel no tension All the buildings are blocking the wind Of late October 'Round the corner, it shoots out again And I'm starting over Dance, dance Dance, dance around the door Dance, dance Dance, dance around the door Hold still Limit what you see Be free for a while Lie in your room like you're lying on a hill There's a mountain on your window sill There is help for raw souls A language for the shy You don't have to say hello But look them in the eye Two things, a great fog of stuff, engrossing, fleeting, bewildering And then, a feeling of tilt that we're rushing down a slope Do we not see it all the time because we're sliding at the same speed? A sense of safety preserved by the static distance between us Sometimes I try to imagine a village hundred of years ago Where little changes during a lifetime Maybe the cobbler tries a new heel on a boot, crops are rotated But nothing changes how people are What they spend their time doing or thinking about The world is dying, the world is living There's something that I should do But I never know how Things I should say to you But it's total whiteout In the night reading actual air Always reforming Imagine that I'll be somewhere new In the morning I was asked to write a song about social media And I didn't want to, anyway I'm pretty hooked So don't feel I'm in much of a position to critique it And self-critique is loaded for me anyway Because I've done plenty of that And while I know that people can identify with it And get comfort from hearing someone else Address themselves sternly I'm also trying to get away from self-regard in general Even though "the unexamined life is not worth living" More opposing truths, they're everywhere Still training to to hold them I'm trying to look out Leave the mirror out of it See the tree and contemplate it And not question who or what I am in a relation to the tree But I don't know what it means yet That we are partially migrating into a silent conversation That seems to be increasing unity and tribalism at once And maybe the two are racing now without a finish line I was going to say that likely few got good thinking Done during the seventeenth century Dutch tulip craze And this is not so different But I've recently been heartened and disappointed to learn That story was greatly exaggerated Anyway we're crazy but also we're not crazy We're complicated We want things to be simple And we polarize into camps and we harden and entrench And distort and amplify and shut down and entrench some more Now you don't have to join a drum circle And get all peace and love and Haight-Ashbury And anyway that took Only a few months to turn into a bad scene, hard drug, dystopia Where some people will rob you And you can't be too open but the Hippies sure had a point Empathy is good, lack of empathy is bad And now the lines of non-facts waiting to get in the conversation Are longer and longer And some people can't be beat in an argument We have to hold to that hippie point harder Empathy is good, lack of empathy is bad Holy math says we're never not together
In the middle of a sleepless night It sneaks in through my window It takes its time, it stays nearby 'Til I get down to zero And when I get so tired that I'm ready for a drink I almost go downstairs Where there's a bottle waiting for me If I find my way there Here's where it speaks Asking me to freeze Whistling diamond days Telling me my dreams In the middle of a sleepless night It sneaks in through my window It takes its time, it stays nearby 'Til I get down to zero When I get so tired that I'm ready for a drink I almost go downstairs Where there's a bottle waiting for me If I find my way there Here's where it speaks Asking me to freeze Whistling diamond days Telling me my dreams And I'm looking for that higher vibration It's fading, but I'll tell you what I know I believe it will unlock every station I believe it will untie every rope A doctor asked me to describe What I thought was my mission I tried to think of something deep It seemed beyond description He said, "It's right in front of you It's only to be well To take the days just as they come And try to ring some bells" And I'm ready for a higher vibration It's faint, but I'll tell you what I know I believe it will unlock every station I believe it will untie every rope It loves you and it's headed for your window It loves you and it's coming to your home What you're looking for's looking for you, too What you're looking for's looking for you, too What you're looking for's looking for you, too (Don't move) What you're looking for's looking for you, too (Don't move) (Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh) (Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh) (Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh) (Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh) There's no tiger in the room There is no one lunging at you But everything is trying to talk to you And who you are becoming What you're looking for's looking for you, too What you're looking for's looking for you, too What you're looking for's looking for you, too (Don't move) What you're looking for's looking for you, too (Don't move) (Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh) (Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh) (Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh) (Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh) (Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh) (Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh)
I'm just trying to be Do you know what I mean? Every day is a teacher Waiting to be seen Now and then I forget Something I need to know Then I get it back It comes and it goes I was on my own On a crowded star Seeing people's forms But not how they are I was ready for a change before you came I was looking for a way to not stay the same It's like treasure now Every day by your light Don't know where it comes from In the ground or the sky? Don't believe any reasons 'Bout why we arrived Just here for a while Our part of time There will be new lows And new highs of suns The same infinity Around everyone I was ready for a change before you came I was ready for a place out of the rain I was ready for a change before you came I was looking for a way to not stay the same Coming in to land I had more than one chance I can't believe my luck I love how you dance I was ready for a change before you came I was ready for a place out of the rain I was ready for a change before you came I was looking for a way to not stay the same Coming in to land I had more than one chance Can't believe my luck I love how you dance
They used to call me Mathilda My mama kept my hair long I was more pretty than handsome And I was not very strong My voice was kinda high, not a typical guy They used to call me Mathilda I was never sure why I felt bad about it But I didn't get mad I got sad about it But I was all that I had Where's this order coming from? Do you hear it like a drum? From back in time Do you feel like who you are? Are you driven from afar? Along for the ride There's a manner in your town There's no way to turn it 'round Why even try? Just kids, we have our tests Look at your nails, is your palm out? If you hold your hands, unlike a man It's not allowed We start out young, it's too much fun To laugh out loud We think we're free, but we don't see Our heads are bowed Our heads are bowed Read somewhere that women will Worry most 'bout being killed When with a new guy Men on dates, they ridicule It's this thing they knew at school And it still applies Sometimes nothing is better Than anything made of words and letters And looks and gestures, blank is clean Blank is a peaceful, empty scene In your private self, you make some room And have some space You wake your loves up one by one And make them safe And make them safe Who knows how many in a room Feel the odd one out, who the joke's about? Black feeling, that loneliness Hangs over like a curse Over like the first Where's this order coming from? Do you hear it like a drum? From back in time Though it's all around, I still wonder Why we can't move on And we still bear arms And we still make fun out of anyone Picture a workside bar Of clock-out drinking And then go inside Do you feel that vibe? Something makes me think Someone wants to fight There's a drive to quell What we hate in ourselves If it's in the Bible, then you know it's old And if it's in nature, then it's been foretold That a slice of our numbers Will feel this way It's not something we discuss Between guys who are straight And then I looked up "Was Fred Phelps gay?" But I found no answers So then who's to say? But only self-hatred could explain his rage There's a special Hell that we build for ourselves And it's handed down in homes and playgrounds
I was away, I don't know where It was a daily state I drew a map but it expired I'd find a car with open doors and take a ride I took a nap, there was no driver I'd find a thing that I could take That would do the trick After a while I got no higher Ride in the unknown Survive and never grow Sliding alone Why is never known There is no getting away in a haunted house When every window is a mirror Can't recognise the people who I used to be Alone at night in my private theatre But we all play a little bit with mythology I don't know if it makes things clearer Hiding from myself Alone, no one to tell Pay rent to have this shell Pay rent to have this cell In a blue moon I could sing the blues to sleep While they were out I'd have a good week Ride in the unknown Survive and never grow Sliding alone Why is never known I never knew I never knew who I wanted to be I never knew I never knew who I wanted to be The good and bad news will still be there But don't think about that now Lift your anchor and set your sail Now the lights are all turned out Find your peace and find some sleep I'll be your lookout When it's my turn, you'll be there for me And you'll quiet all my doubt Ride in the unknown (The good and bad news will still be there) Survive and never grow (But don't think about that now) Sliding alone (Lift your anchor and set your sail) Why is never known (Now the lights are all turned out) Ride in the unknown (Find your peace and find some sleep) Survive and never grow (I'll be your lookout) Sliding alone (When it's my turn, you'll be that for me) Why is never known (And you'll quiet all my doubt) Ride in the unknown (The good and bad news will still be there) Survive and never grow (But don't think about that now) Sliding alone (Lift your anchor and set your sail) Why is never known (Now the lights are all turned out)
I used to be dreaming when I was driving I used to be leaving when I was arriving I used to be calling when I was walking I used to be thinking when I was talking I used to be counting when I was sharing I used to be blanking when I was staring I used to be rolling when I was parking I used to be raining when I was sparking Today, I do what's in front of me now Today, I do what's in front of me now I used to be stopping while I trying I used to be landing before I was flying I used to be haunting not just remembering In the middle of summer, I was decembring Always re-writing what I was reading But also doubting what I was conceiving I used to be dropping when I was collecting I could have been building but I was dissecting Today, I do what's in front of me now Today, I do what's in front of me, what's in front of me I do what's in front of me now I used to be missing when I was kissing Why wasn't I present? I could have been living I used to be dodging when I was catching I used to be dying, I could have been hatching I used to be drowning when I was drinking I was only masking, I could have been feeling You used to surround me whenever you found me I could have learned more from the friends I had 'round me I used to be falling when I was leaning Catastrophe courting, I could have been dreaming I was careening, looking for meaning Wish I was relaxing, I could have been breathing Today, I do what's in front of me now Today, I do what's in front of me, what's in front of me Oh there's too many lanes There's too much to see in the frame at once There's too much to contain Oh there's too much terrain I can never explain it all It's too much for my brain I do what's in front of me, what's in front of me I do what's in front of me, what's in front of me I do what's in front of me now

Good chord, bad chord Good chord, bad chord Oh, I like the lightness of being on my own I like the quiet and walking 'round my home With no other body there and no fabric you can tear It can almost be like floating in A gravity-free zone Good chord, bad chord Good chord, bad chord As my eyes scan round the world I can follow any thread Any curiosity and see just where it led Everything's so natural There's no awkward push and pull Deep down I'm so much more comfortable Inside my head But oh, 81 times a day I turn and see Nothing but empty air there And even the best days They feel half-wasted I grew up with an older sister and Even through some sparring we were a team And we shared intel and dreams Oh, we shared intel and dreams
I'm always changing, you're getting burned What kind of me has the next turn? I don't want to lose you but I don't want to win Can we start over and try again? 'Cause I want the one you want I want the one I want I want the one you want me to be I want the one you want I want the one I want I want the one you want yourself to be Days of desire, days of almost Days when I vanish like a ghost I want to be worth it, the trouble I bring Never wanted to break a thing I want the one you want I want the one I want I want the one you want me to be I want the one you want I want the one I want I want the one you want yourself to be The wind is the right hand, the piano's a tree I want to hear that for eternity I don't want to lose you but I don't want to win Can we start over and try again? 'Cause I want the one you want I want the one I want I want the one you want me to be I want the one you want I want the one I want I want the one you want yourself to be There's a voice inside Trying to give me a warning That you are worth it all And you won't always call Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up I want the one you want I want the one I want I want the one you want me to be I want the one you want I want the one I want I want the one you want yourself to be To be, to be
