We make ritual noise
Wired to the world Under our fingertips We take special care Listen to the words Spoken in confidence We make ritual noise Shouting to be heard Cooling our burning lips We break down the gates Open up our wounds Bleeding for innocence We make ritual noise We weave the fabric of dreams We build cities of sound We feel the rhythm of time We live dangerous lives We have the power of will We twist logic around We feed the engines of change |

I'm falling out of cars
Don't know when I'll hit the ground Hold me when I fall Headlights in my face My body's full of scars Words are lost and won't be found Stay until I'm gone Stumbling on my knees I'm dancing in the dark Shrinking cities feel the sound Hear the silent hum Searchlights in the skies I'm blinded by the stars There is darkness all around Hold me when I cry Those were all my days I'm falling out of cars Hanging on the windscreen I'm blinded by the headlights I'm killing ground I'm dancing in the dark Stumbling on the highway I'm guided by the city light I'm lost and found I'm falling out of cars Don't know when I'll hit the ground Hold me when I fall Headlights in my face I'm dancing in the dark Shrinking cities feel the sound Hear the distant hum Searchlights in my eyes I never took the time I should have told you then I never found the time Falling out of cars I'm falling out of cars Hanging on the windscreen I'm blinded by the headlights I'm killing ground I'm dancing in the dark Stumbling on the highway I'm guided by the city light I'm lost and found |

The earth is shaking
Down below our feet We move in wonder And we generate the beat Our blood is boiling Wonderful in heat We glow like embers Dancing in the dark Where is the promised land Where is the brave new world Where do all dreams go when they die We can move the streets today The lights are fading out Before our eyes We lose each other And we celebrate the peace Our lives are changing Faster than we think We flow like dancers Crashing in the dark Another morning broken Shattered sheets of lead Clouds the size of oceans Inside and above our heads |

We are the men
Silent and cold Beautiful eyes Sheep among wolves We are the men Silent and strong Beautiful eyes Sheep among wolves |

Ladies and gentlemen lights are going out let's step outside and watch the city sleep
Listen and remember wait another day we are explorers far away from home Stay for just a moment watch the natives dance be civilized and kiss the pretty bride Brothers and sisters the pain is gone for now let's burn our books and find a little peace Sooner or later we walk another day we are colliders everywhere we go Stay for just a car-crash know your heart is weak be primitive and wave your love goodbye Ladies and gentlemen lights are going out let's step outside and watch the city sleep Preachers and sinners we are all the same let's save ourselves and drink from deeper wells Hatred and compassion wail against the walls we are invaders trying to escape Fight for just a lifetime count the moments lost be so alive and cry as time goes by Ladies and gentlemen lights are going out let's step outside and watch the city sleep Greater than the sun We are greater than the sun |

I ride the morning train
People come and go So many different faces As the city passes by I watch their tired eyes Journeys never made Broken dreams of leaving Fill the streets with dust This is our final journey It's the end of the line Constantly in transit We just want to go home The rain that falls for weeks Painting pictures on the streets Twisted stars beneath my feet I cruise the crowd I could be one of them Going back and forth Between familiar places As my blood turns cold I watch with gypsy eyes Secrets never told Stolen years of yearning Turn their tears to dust This is our final journey It's the end of the line Constantly in transit We just want to go home |

I don't know how I ended up here
On this frozen nameless shore I remember nothing of the journey And there is no one else around I go down across the towering dunes To watch the seagulls glide above So graceful when they are silent Like lonely white ghosts in the air I notice they are all unique With faces that are all their own Born to kiss the turbulent sky Before they collapse and die As I look and dream myself away A sound grows loud enough to hear Like disembodied friendly voices Carried on by southbound winds I wake up to the sound of silence Their words are faint and far away Like the finest spray of water They still speak of things I know I turn to fix my eyes on the horizon And I face the freezing gale I observe the majestic white waves As they rise and break and fall While they rise into the wild wind It picks them up before it strikes Steals away their urgent faces Lifts their spirits to the skies And their language's soft and broken But still I understand it well We talk about the ones we care for And of all the things we lost |

The world is growing loud
It's time for us to fade To grey I wish they'll let us stay The lights are going out We knew we had to go One day I wish they'll take us in The skies are falling down Too late for us to change Our minds I wish they'll keep us safe The times are changing fast We knew we wouldn't last This long I hope they'll keep the pace The world is growing loud It's time for us to fade Away I wish they'll let us stay |
