Rows of houses all bearing down on me I can feel their blue hands touching me All these things into position All these things we'll one day swallow whole
And fade out again And fade out
This machine will Will not communicate These thoughts and the strain I am under Be a world child, form a circle Before we all go under
And fade out again And fade out again
Cracked eggs, dead birds Scream as they fight for life I can feel death, can see it's beady eyes All these things into position All these things we'll one day swallow whole
And fade out again And fade out again
Immerse your soul in love Immerse your soul in love
The baby was born Nettles and ferns The evening it chokes The candle it burns This disguise covers Bitter lies Repeating the joke The meaning it dies Pass me a coat I'm not afraid to leave I'm letting you know I know what you need I'll turn you around This beautiful town And then you'll believe it when your eyes then deceive you
It's easy, don't let it go It's easy, don't let it go It's easy, don't let it go Don't lose it
Its getting colder outside Your rented space They shadow box and they Paper chase It never stops And we'll never learn No hope without dope The jobless return The bankers have bailed The mighty retreat The pleasure it fails At the end of the week You take it or leave Or what you receive To what you receive Is eternited leave
It's easy, don't let it go It's easy, don't let it go It's easy, don't let it go Don't lose it
Incandescent light at doors In adolescent menopause In little clicks you got the music stops The needle sticks and the penny drops The summer's gone before you know The muffled drums of relentless flow You're looking at stars that give you Vertigo The sun's still burning and dust will blow Honey scars I'll keep you near Our blood is gold nothing to fear We killed the time and I love you dear A kiss of wine we'll disappear The last of the last particles Divisible invisible The last of the last particles Divisible invisible
Always a new temptation I am desire Always in moderation If it's a hunger from the heart Trying to keep it all out of sight and mind Out of sight and mind Trying to work a reason why I don't recognize myself
The less you expect from me The less you get Every test you give me The more I can remedy myself I can't keep giving into mistakes I've made The mistakes I've made I can't keep living life left behind I don't recognize myself
Why? I don't know
Always a new temptation And no one hears me now Always in moderation If it's a hunger from the heart Trying to keep it all out of sight and mind Out of sight and mind Trying to work a reason why I don't recognize myself
Why? I don't know
I don't recognize myself Are you now are you now are you now?
Nothing is certain at this time of day You could reverberate you could decay The mouse and the model are laughing at us We'll risk it we're desperate for someone to trust
Let's start a new heart the new charts are in We'll take them we'll break them we'll make them give in
By counting your blessings you wind up in debt It starts with your family and ends in your bed You Jekyll and Hide it when you could have left Your guard down your dress up you must be upset
Let's start a new heart the new charts are in We'll take them we'll break them we'll make them give in
It's dark over here on the flipside of reason The teaser could be something easy like they did it in a book You're a crook you're a fake you committed If you did it say you did it if you didn't suck it up and say you did
Let's start a new heart the new charts are in We'll tax them relax them and make them forfeit The vote by a landslide the Jekyll and Hide Mackenzie macabre she's Bonnie and Clyde
In fear every day, every evening He calls her aloud from above Carefully watched for a reason Painstaking devotion and love Surrendered to self preservation From others who care for themselves A blindness that touches perfection But hurts just like anything else
Isolation, Isolation, Isolation
Mother, I tried, please believe me I'm doing the best that I can I'm ashamed of the things I've been put through I'm ashamed of the person I am
Isolation, Isolation, Isolation
But if you could just see the beauty These things I could never describe These pleasures a wayward distraction This is my one broken prize
Hunting spires And an audience in the house of god Such strange times Pull me from my knees, genuflect and leave Braving the weather, evading the stares Save it for someone who cares
City life In the glory of pink communal skies Jostled bones Hang in dying air breathed a million times Down through the marching of beggars and heirs Save it for someone who cares
We are the cats in the flea bitten folds We will collapse with the weight of it all Should we attack Or be caught unawares Save it for someone who cares
We get by Swilling with the taste of the now and then As we type All our problems we will relive again Echoes of violence, and office affairs Save it for someone who cares
In the dark of night Those small hours Uncertain and anxious I need to call you Rooms full of strangers Some call me friend But I wish you were so close to me In the dark of night Those small hours I drift away When I'm with you In the dark of night By my side In the dark of night By my side I wish you were I wish you were
Here comes the clown His face is a wall No window No air at all In the dark of night These faces they haunt me But I wish you were So close to me In the dark of night By my side In the dark of night By my side I wish you were I wish you were In the dark of night By my side In the dark of night By my side I wish you were I wish you were
In the dark of night These faces they haunt me Well I wish you were so close to me Yes I wish you were By my side
90 miles outside Chicago Can't stop driving I don't know why So many questions I need an answer Two years later You're still on my mind
Whatever happened to Amelia Earhart? Who holds the stars up in the sky? Is true love just once in a lifetime? Did the captain of the Titanic cry?
Someday we'll know if love can move a mountain Someday we'll know why the sky is blue Someday we'll know why I wasn't meant for you
Does anybody know the way to Atlantis Or what the wind says when she cries? I'm speeding by the place that I met you For the 97th time tonight
Someday we'll know if love can move a mountain Someday we'll know why the sky is blue Someday we'll know why I wasn't meant for you Someday we'll know why Samson loved Delilah One day I'll go dancing on the moon Someday you'll know that I was the one for you
I bought a ticket to the end of the rainbow I watched the stars crash in the sea If I could ask god just one question Why aren't you here with me tonight?
Someday we'll know if love can move a mountain Someday we'll know why the sky is blue Someday we'll know why I wasn't meant for you Someday we'll know why Samson loved Delilah One day I'll go dancing on the moon Someday you'll know that I was the one for you
