It’s like I’ve fallen out of bed from a long and vivid dream The sweetest flowers and fruits were hanging from the trees Falling off a giant bird that’s been carrying me It’s like I’ve fallen out of bed from a long and vivid dream Just exactly as I remember Every word, every gesture I’ve my heart in my mouth It’s like I’ve fallen out of bed from a long and vivid dream Finally I’m free of all the weight I’ve been carrying
And as that woman blows her cover In the eye of the beholder I’m a fish now, out of water Falling off a giant bird that’s been carrying me
I fell open I lay under At the tea parlour I lost your number And once it’s over Hid back under
If you think this is over, then you’re wrong If you think this is over, then you’re wrong If you think this is over, then you’re wrong If you think this is over, then you’re wrong
It’s like I’ve fallen out of bed from a long and vivid dream Finally I’m free of all the weight I’ve been carrying
When I ask you again When I ask you again Wake me up Wake me up Wake me up Wake me up Wake me up Wake me up Wake me up Wake me up
So you don't want to hear about my good song You don't want to hear about how I am getting on With all the shit that I can get done The sun is in the sky and I am by my lonesome So you don't want to hear about my good day You have better things to do than to hear me say
God it's been a lovely day Everything's going my way I took out the trash today And I'm on fire
So you don't want to hear about my good friends You don't have the balls to take the truth or consequence Success is in the eye of the beholder And it's looking even better over your cold shoulder
I'm not suggesting You get and line me up for questioning But Jesus think About the bridges you are burning and I'm betting That even though you knew it from the start You'd rather be a bitch than be an ordinary broken heart
So go ahead and talk about your bad day I want all the details of the pain and misery That you are inflicting on the others I consider them my sisters and I want their numbers
God it's been a lovely day Everything's going my way I took up croquet today And I'm on fire
I picked up the pieces of my broken ego I have finally made my peace as far as you and me go But I'd love to have you up to see the place I'd like to do more than survive I'd like to rub it in your face
Hey, it's been a lovely day Everything's going my way I had so much fun today And I'm on fire God it's been a lovely day Everything's going my way Ever since you went away And I'm on fire
I'm on fire I'm on fire I'm on
I'm on fire I'm on fire I'm on fire I'm on So you don't want to hear about my good day
See the great white scar Over Battery Park Then a flare glides over But I won't look at that scar Oh, my nuclear baby Oh, my idiot trance All my idiot questions Let's face the music and dance
Don't ever say I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready I'll never say I'm better, I'm better, I'm better Don't ever say I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready I'll never said I'm better, I'm better, I'm better, I'm better than you
All the corners of the buildings Who but we remember these? The sidewalks and trees I'm thinking now I got a better way I discovered a star I got a better way Ready, set, go I got a better way A new killer star I got a better way Ready, set, go I got a better way The stars in your eyes I got a better way Ready, set, go I got a better way I discovered a star I got a better way Ready, set, go
See my life in a comic Like the way they did the bible With the bubbles and action The little details in colour First a horseback bomber Just a small thin chance Like seeing Jesus on dateline Let's face the music and dance
Don't ever say I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready I'll never said I'm better, I'm better, I'm better Don't ever say I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready I'll never said I'm better, I'm better, I'm better, I'm better than you
All the corners of the buildings Who but we remember these? The sidewalks and trees I'm thinking now I got a better way I discovered a star I got a better way Ready, set, go I got a better way A new killer star I got a better way Ready, set, go I got a better way The stars in your eyes I got a better way Ready, set, go I got a better way I discovered a star I got a better way Ready, set, go
She says It helps with the lights out Her rabid glow is like braille to the night She swears I'm a slave to the details But if your life is such a big joke why should I care? The clock is set for nine but you know you're gonna make it eight So that you two can take some time teach each other to reciprocate
She feels that my sentimental side should be held with kid gloves But she doesn't know that I left my urge in the icebox She swears I'm just prey for the female Well then hook me up and throw me baby cakes 'cause I like to get hooked The clock is set for nine but you know you're gonna make it eight All the people that you've loved they're all bound to leave some keepsakes I've been swinging all the time think it's time to learn your way I picture you and me together in the jungle it will be ok I'll bring you when my lifeboat sails through the night That is supposing that you don't sleep tonight
It's like learning a new language Helps me catch up on my mime If you don't bring up those lonely parts This could be a good time It's like learning a new language You come here to me We'll collect those lonely parts and set them down You come here to me
She says brief things her love's a pony My love's subliminal She says brief things her love's a pony My love's subliminal
We the people fight for our existence We don't claim to be perfect but we're free We dream our dreams alone with no resistance Faded like the stars we wish to be You know I didn't mean What I just said But my god woke up on the wrong side of his bed And it just don't matter now
Little by little We gave you everything you ever dreamed of As little by little The wheels of your life have slowly fallen off Little by little You have to give it all in all your life And all the time I just ask myself why are you really here?
True perfection has to be imperfect I know that that sounds foolish but it's true The day has come and now you'll have to accept The life inside your head we gave to you You know I didn't mean What I just said But my god woke up on the wrong side of his bed And it just don't matter now
Little by little We gave you everything you ever dreamed of As little by little The wheels of your life have slowly fallen off Little by little You have to give it all in all your life And all the time I just ask myself why are you really here?
Little by little We gave you everything you ever dreamed of As little by little The wheels of your life have slowly fallen off Little by little You have to give it all in all your life And all the time I just ask myself why are you really here? Why am I really here? Why am I really here?
You drew me cartoons so playful (Did you run away?) I’m stuck now, I’ll carry light in a while I’m stuck now that I’m carried white to the side (Memories drown) And you drew me cartoons so playful Nobody’s gone tonight You drew me cartoons
You watch it, they way you’re always keeping score You keep in store, you keep it
I’m not you What a waste, me When you give all you got and there’s already made plans
Put your hand in mine We will go skating On the thinnest ice that we can find
It takes me summer to say It takes me winter in a day
Honestly, see They’re like you and me Frozen when we start We cannot help it Easy to discard, taken apart Put your hand in mine We will go skating On the thinnest ice that we can find
Tonight I’m watching the sky The creatures you drew They remain alive The cushion’s lighter And what do you want? Is this what happens to us now?
Sunk beneath the sea That’s no way to be What came over me? Drawn and held with you This is what we do We are weaving wounds (94) I’m a let you know And just saying won’t make it so (Macramé) I’m a say the words In cemented ears they are heard Would you like to be a crease in parasols? Did I need to know? A wound in macramé Through all this we decipher And what’s worse, we’re no wiser
Swimming goes my shadow In the dark time of the morning The last shapes of never So tall is the price The last shapes of someone Who swims in the dark dim light
Swimming goes my double My insides in the morning The last shapes of never So tall is the price The last shapes of someone Who swims in the dark dim light
I've been wasting all my time With the devil in the details I got no energy to fight He's a fucking pal of mine The devil in the details
And he's fixing up to take a bite I don't see the point in trying I got the devil in the details And he's gonna teach me wrong from right That fucking pal of mine The devil in the details I'm gonna dance with him tonight
All of my wrongs No more wicked ways Come back to haunt me, come what may He wrote the songs That I hoped to write someday Looks like the devil's here to stay
Let me take you far a ride With the devil in the details We'll kiss and tremble with delight Everything is fine With the devil in the details We're gonna dance with him tonight
All of my wrongs No more wicked ways Come back to haunt me, come what may He wrote the songs That I hoped to write someday Looks like the devil's here to stay Looks like the devil's here to stay Looks like the devil's here to stay
All of my wrongs No more wicked ways Come back to haunt me, come what may He wrote the songs That I hoped to write someday Looks like the devil's here to stay Looks like the devil's here to stay Looks like the devil's here to stay
I've been wasting all my time With the devil in the details
