She's fragile and slender
And fading fast So in a voice so tender she asks If I could lend her a helping hand A hand that would end her strive Love is only for poets And dreams are for fools And on all beauty you'll find Time's always cruel If you see what I see Then say after me I'll fight my fright I'll do as you ask tonight Ever since my heart chose to choose her I've known I would lose her But I will excuse her I could never refuse her anything 'Cause I'm not a poet, no I'm just a fool But the beauty she speaks of Keeps her as the exception to the rule But I see what I see So I know what it'll be I'll fight my fright And I'll do as she's asked me to do tonight And all will be forgiven It's from love that I've been driven And time will skip a moment When it's perfect And I'll kiss her lips As she slips away You said you'd die for me You said you'd die for me So why can't you live for me Why won't you live for me |

You crash out on his side
All is quiet, all is calm The air thick with stale smoke, Your cheap perfume and alcohol And although you know you need him Like a stake through your heart You think it's worse to stay apart Cause it's the last day of summer, And it will hurt you more than most Cause you're still trying to mine for memories in a ghost Yeah, it's the last day of summer And you know you're not supposed, But you're still trying to mine for memories in a ghost You're absence makes no sense, just a constant state of suspense And although you both know The bubble might burst as soon as you meet Another false start, rather than to stay apart Cause it's the last day of summer, And it will hurt you more than most Cause you're still trying to mine for memories in a ghost Yeah, it's the last day of summer And you know you're not supposed, But you're still trying to mine for memories in a ghost It's the last day of summer And you know you're not supposed You're still trying to mine for memories in a ghost It's the last day of summer It's the last day of summer It's the last day of summer |

Well it was last October
on a Tuesday night And she said you and me are over if you're getting high tonight But he runs straight down the white line to let a good thing down It wasn't driving her crazy it drove her right outta town There's a million miles to go to where happiness lives Yeah there's a million miles to go to where happiness lives (...where happiness lives...) He put his mind in detention and let his heart decide Try and catch your attention he's got to catch your eye And use the last of the powder that lets him push ahead. Move at the speed of lightning and leave the miles for dead But there's a million miles to go to where happiness lives Yeah there's a million miles to go to where happiness lives There's a million miles to go to where happiness lives There's a million miles ...still to go... (...where happiness lives...) |

(Lyrical "Hums")
For all that you breathe in and all that you breathe out, You just can't breathe any life into something that's expired. Now every tear you've cried will seem so uninspired. It don't matter what do you do, it doesn't matter what you've done. I'll be on your side, I'm on your side. you'll always find me, on your side. (Lyrical "Hums") I've seen your crazy eyes and I've heard your crazy talk. You can say it's just bravado, but go lightly where you go. Cause to see you dig that hole that's piercing through my soul. Don't matter what you've seen, it doesn't matter where you've been. I'll be on your side, I'm on your side. You'll always find me, on your side. On your side...I'm on your side. (I'm on your side...) (Lyrical "Hums") |

As the morning sun
Seeps in through a crack in the blinds We open up our eyes Let's get off this queen-sized bed Where far too many tears have been shed And dreams were left for dead It's such a glorious day So come what may You and I are off to see the world We'll put on our best clothes Bring only what we need Douse the walls with kerosene Drop a match from the mezzanine So get into the car We'll watch it from afar Ass the flames kiss the sky There's only you and I Let it burn to the ground 'Cause we're not hanging 'round It's the day you and I are leaving town Let it burn Let it burn 'Cause today you and I are leaving town You and I are leaving town It's the day we're leaving town It's the day we're leaving it all behind It's the day we're leaving town It's the day we're leaving it all behind You and I |

There was a time you made me believe
that I'd recieved Something that would hold and wouldn't leave me cold... And there was a line you made me cross So the two of us would have the strength to bare The crosses we couldn't share But nothing hurts now... That didn't hurt before... So I won't pretend... that it was the end of the world 'Cause nothing hurts now... No... There was a time I made you smile And for a while I was beautiful to you... I was beautiful like you... But these things often pass and for you they just wouldn't last So I was first to know... when you had to go... But nothing hurts now... That didn't hurt before... So I won't pretend... that it was the end of the world 'Cause nothing hurts now... No nothing hurts now... That didn't hurt before... So I won't pretend... that it was the end of the world... 'Cause nothing hurts now... No nothing hurts now... |

Lay lady lay, lay across my big brass bed.
Lay lady lay, lay across my big brass bed. Whatever colors you have in your mind. I'll show them to you and you'll see them shine. Lay lady lay, lay across my big brass bed. Stay lady stay, stay with your man awhile. Until the break of day, let me see you make 'em smile. [Gemma]: Your clothes are dirty but your hands are clean. And I'm the best thing that you've ever seen. (Stay lady stay, stay with your man awhile.) Why wait any longer for the world to begin? You can have your cake and eat it too. (Why wait any longer for the one you love? I am standin' in front of you.) Lay lady lay, lay across my big brass bed. Stay lady stay, stay with your man awhile. [Gemma]: You long to see me in the morning light. You long to reach for me in the night. (Stay lady stay, stay while the night is still ahead.) So maybe I'll stay, stay while the night is still ahead. (Stay lady stay, stay while the night is still ahead.) So maybe I'll stay, [Both]: stay while the night is still ahead. |

I'm overjoyed, and in the sun,
the second time this year. I'm on a plane at 30,000 feet. The only way from here is down. And that's ok with me. Cause I'm overjoyed, I'm ready for the... Fall (x 3) Cause I'm ready for the fall. There's no surprise I've been forced to learn, that bliss comes at a price. And here I am still minin' gold from the soul I sold like a whore. The finger of blame is pointing at me, cause I lit that flame, now it's burning me. But I'm overjoyed and it's no surprise that I'm ready for the fall. Fall (x8) (That I'm ready for the fall) Fall.... |

Waiting here I'll prepare and
try my best not to be scared There's no need to insist 'cause I'm too dumb to even resist Anymore and anyhow Anywhere you go, I will go with you My darling curse... It's you and me versus the world If I don't lose my nerve then we'll get what we deserve Well all this time I've climbed the walls I've never gained an inch at all My broken heart won't restart Whatever I read in my chart... So take your time and don't be too late 'Cause my last flare's already in the air My darling curse... It's you and me versus the world If I don't lose my nerve then we'll both get what we both deserve... Might be each other... could be each other... |

Please could you tell me why the hell you are so sad
Is it something I've said, something I haven't said, Or are you just bringing out your dead? D don't worry baby, I'll be right beside you I won't push you away I won't push you to stay I only wish I knew how to get you through the day Please let me tell you, for whatever it is worth I found the sunken treasure, buried beneath your perfect breasts And like a lover should, I'm sticking up for you Even when I know you're wrong So baby, smile to the world, although it never seems to smile back... |
