And have you ever wanted something so badly
That it possessed your body & your soul Through the night & through the day Until you finally get it! And then you realize that it wasn't what you wanted after all. And then those selfsame sickly little thoughts Now go & attach themselves to something.... ....or somebody....new! And the whole goddamn thing starts all over again. Well, I've been crushing the symptoms but I can't locate the Cause. Could God really be so cruel? To give us feelings that could never be fulfilled. Baby! I've got my sights set on you. I've got my sight set on you And someday, someday, someday, you'll come my way. But when you put your arms around me I'll be looking over your shoulder for something new 'cause I ain't ever found peace upon the breast of a girl I ain't ever found peace with the religion of the world I ain't ever found peace at the bottom of a glass Sometimes it seems the more I ask for the less I receive Sometimes it seems the more I ask for the less I receive The only true freedom is freedom from the heart's desires & the only true happiness....this way lies. |

LoveLoveLove
LoveLoveLove Me & my friend were walking In the cold light of mourning. Tears may blind the eyes but the soul is not deceived In this world even winter ain't what it seems. Here come the blue skies Here comes springtime. When the rivers run high & the tears run dry. When everything that dies. Shall rise. LoveLoveLove is stronger than death. LoveLoveLove is stronger than death. In our lives we hunger for those we cannot touch. All the thoughts unuttered & all the feelings unexpressed Play upon our hearts like the mist upon our breath. But, awoken by grief, our spirits speak ""How could you believe that the life within the seed that grew arms that reached And a heart that beat. And lips that smiled And eyes that cried. Could ever die?"" Here come the blue skies Here comes springtime. When the rivers run high & the tears run dry. When everything that dies. Shall rise. LoveLoveLove is stronger than death. LoveLoveLove is stronger than death. Shall rise. Shall rise. Shall rise. Shall rise. |

Here they come! the dogs of lust.
Out of my mind. into my life. Somebody should be here to hold me Somebody should be here to show me, show me! When you're lustful. when you're lonely. & the heat is rising slowly. I got it blue. I got it bad. I got the sweetest sadness I ever had. As the hours pass before my eyes. As the hours pass before me. When you're lustful. when you're lonely. & the heat is rising slowly. I keep reaching up But they drag me back down Wherever I try to hide I will always be found When you're lustful. when you're lonely. & the heat is rising slowly. Rising rising rising slowly Rising rising rising Rising rising slowly. |

I'm scared of the things I think of
when night comes along. Something gets hold of me. Something I can't never see. Oh, it's a wicked world Awaits the ones our young girls bear Oh, I need somebody to hold me In the fading light of this coming night. In the fading light of this coming night. How many whores have walked through that door Lain by my side & climbed in my mind & taken me down to where the heat blisters the skin upon my feet makes me reach out & weep for the days when I was pure of heart & slept in peace. Oh, it's a wicked world Awaits the ones our young girls bear Oh, I need somebody to hold me In the fading light of this coming night. In the fading light. This coming night. In the fading light. Of this coming night. In the fading light this is the night. |

The more I see
The less I know About all the things I thought were wrong or right & carved in stone So, don't ask me about War, Religion, or God Love, Sex, or Death Because.... Everybody knows what's going wrong with the world But I don't even know what's going on in myself. You've gotta work out your own salvation. With no explanation to this Earth we fall On hands & knees we crawl And we look up to the stars And we reach out & pray To a deaf, dumb & blind God who never explains. Every body knows what's going wrong with the world But I don't even know what's going on in myself. Lord, I've been here for so long I can feel it coming down on me I'm just a slow emotion replay of somebody I used to be. |

I watch the sun go down on London town
I wait for the night voices to sound I smell the pain upon the breath of the lost & lonely I hear the thoughts that whisper in the hearts of all men. I'm the helpline operator & I'll spare you the time. I'm the intimate stranger. Your problems will be mine. Put your tongue into the mouthpiece And whisper in my ear. Admit to me the things you can't admit to yourself. Admit to me & no one else. Everybody's looking for someone to tell them what they want to hear. Everybody's looking for true love To help them feel what they cannot feel. I'm the helpline operator, can you spare me the time. I'm the intimate stranger. Your problems will be mine. I'm the helpline operator. Helpline operator. (X3) True love will come True love will come Helpline operator. (X4) |

As I sat in the back of that old taxi cab
Waitin' for the evenin' to come On every street of this city I heard you call my name You're the strangest feeling I ever had The strangest feeling You're the strangest feeling I ever had The strangest feeling From the day that we are born, until the day we die We are hostage to our hearts' desire Though I ride this city I can't escape from you And when I look up to the stars I wonder Can the world really be so cruel? You're the strangest feeling I ever had The strangest feeling You're the strangest feeling I ever had The strangest feeling Tonight the wolves are howling I can't escape from you A yearning past denying I will surrender to You're the strangest feeling I ever had The strangest feeling You're the strangest feeling I ever had The strangest feeling Shine on me, Sodium light baby Shine on me, Sodium light baby Shine on me, Sodium light baby Shine on me, Sodium light baby |

Save me, Save me, Save me Save me, Save me, Save me. The candles are lit. The curtains are drawn. There's still no sign of rain nor dawn. Our lips touch. Our limbs entwine. But the ghosts that haunt me won't leave my mind. Save me, Save me, Save me Save me, Save me, from myself. One sin leads to another one. Oh, the harder I try I can never, never, never find peace in this life. I ask myself where does lust come from Is it something to yield to or be overcome. I ask myself Why love can never touch my heart like fear does. Why can't love ever touch my heart like fear does? |

Planet Earth is slowing down Overseas, underground Wherever you look around Lord, take me by the hand lead me through these desert sands To the shores of a promised land. You make me start when you look into my heart And see me for who I really am. If you can't change the world. Change yourself. If you can't change the world. Change yourself. I didn't care if the sun didn't shine & the rain didn't fall from the sky I just cared about myself From this world to the next And from the next back to this. By our actions we are bound. We're running out of love running out of hate running out of space for the human race. Planet Earth is slowing down. You make me cry when you look into my eyes. And see me for who I really am. If you can't change the world. Change yourself. If you can't change the world. Change yourself. And if you can't change yourself....change the world. I'm in love with the planet I'm standing on I can't stop I can't stop thinking of All the people I've ever loved All the people I have lost All the people I'll never know All the feelings I've never shown. The world's too big. And life's too short. To be alone...To be alone. |
