I'm two steps away from stepping over the edge and getting lost in the great unknown
Because one small step in the wrong direction is enough to shake the cornerstone Whereever I'm thrown no matter where I end up it can't be any worse than here If I'm sincere with myself then tell me what else is there really left for me to fear I'm two steps away from just killing myself because I'm sick and tired of being the prey but when I'm dead everything that I've said will lose its meaning and fade to grey I'm not ready for that I'd rather counterattack Instead of leaving my own song unsung Because I'm too young to die and I can never justify not breathing air into my lunges I'll take one more step until somebody stops me I'll take one more step until somebody stops me I'll take one more step until somebody stops me I'll take one more step until somebody stops me I'm two steps away from making somebody pay for every time that I've been deceived How can I believe a single word you say when I know you've got a card up your sleeve I might be naive but I'm still forced to believe that all the best in life is yet to come That's why I refuse to lose my faith in myself even after all the wrong that you've done (Chorus) |

They're out get me,I can't escape cos' they won't let me
They won't forget me,They'll get me in their grip and sweat me They'll wait me out,and then move in under my skin They'll make me doubt,They're out to make me let them in I can't escape them, there's nowhere I can run and hide Make one mistake and, that's when they work their way inside They'll try and take me, they'll break me down and suck me dry I can't' let them shape me, they'll make me up and make me cry They're out to get me I want to leave but they won't let me out They're out to get me I wan't to leave but they won't let me out They won't forget me They'll get you in their grip and sweat me out They're gonna hit me, cuff me up and then bullshit me Then they'll outwit me, dress me up and make it fit me They'll lock the door now, Keep it shut and throw away the key They'll turn the lights out, What no one knows, nobody sees |

Get a gun to protect yourself from someone else with a gun
Being armed up to the teeth that means you don't have to run Better safe than being sorry,better alive than being dead Better him than me you say as you aim your gun at his head You live your life at gunpoint don't be scared be prepared It's peace you say that you fight for but it's war you declare Take a life to save a life you call that living in peace? It takes more than a piece of metal for the peace to increase Are you man enough to hold a gun? Are you man enough to turn your back and run? Are you man enough to take a life? Are you man enough to make one? with your finger stuck on the trigger you're one hell of a man but you won't be much of a macho when the blood's on your hands if you live by the gun you'll die by the gun I promise you that and you ain't got a goddamn thing if all you've got is a gat History repeats itself but still we don't pull the brakes What will it take for us to learn to learn from our own mistakes I'd rather die defending my own right to never bare arms Than live pretending a gun will keep me safe from bodily harm Chorus If sacrifice is the price for freedom then tell me what's the use killing someone to prove that killing is wrong still ain't no excuse how can you believe that death will make the suffering cease prepare to sacrifice your life once the bullet's released Chorus |

You want confrontation without knowing what you're gonna hit
you kick up shit in all directions but no one seems to benefit You waste your hate on decent people who don't deserve to feel your pain You keep on breaking your confidence down until you drive yourself insane You make accusations To justify your own abuse Instead of just directing your anger where it could come to some use You turn your back on bigger problems and let them go over your head and then you turn someone you know into your biggest threat Instead You want confrontation You want confrontation You want confrontation You want confrontation Everything you say is bullshit so don't raise your fucking voice all you ever do is scream just for the sake of making noise cos' You want confrontation cos' You want confrontation What's your motivation when you start to yell and shout If you don't know when to be patient How can you learn to let it out? You can't react without all sense of logic That's like beating yourself with your fist tell me what you can accomplish If you can't even learn to resist You make accusations faster than you throw a dart if you don't where you should aim it how can you turn hate into art stay focused on the things that annoy or be caught in the same trap you set becos' no one will need to destroy you if you're chasing your own silhouette You want confrontation You want confrontation You want confrontation You want confrontation Everything you say is bullshit so don't raise your fucking voice all you ever do is scream just for the sake of making noise cos' You want confrontation I'll give you confrontation cos' You want confrontation I'll give you confrontation You want confrontation, well that's what you're gonna get You want confrontation, You ain't seen nothing yet You want confrontation, what's the fucking use You want confrontation, have you got a good excuse You want confrontation, Is that the best that you can do You want confrontation, Tell me something new You want confrontation, Who's confronting who You want confrontation, Now I'm confronting you |

Why don't you want to talk to me does it feel easier to pass me by
you read my face like I'm a fucking disgrace and you never look me in the eyes the truth is always easiest to ignore and that's why you walk the other way but is it really that hard for you to think of something comforting to say Don't look at me as If I'm different Don't look at me as If I wasn't there Don't look at me as If I'm no good Don't look at me as If you didn't care,as if I wasn't there! You walk a little faster like you're trying to say that you really haven't got the time and when I put my hand out for a coin or two you just pretend that you've gone blind It seems hard for you to show any compassion for me but it wouldn't hurt for you to try reality can be painful but tell me have you ever wondered why? (Chorus) You like to keep a safe distance from me to make sure that we never meet and just in case I might be dangerous you quickly turn and walk across the street You're so scared of the sight that you see that you decide to never understand Instead of judging me by the way that I look,accept me for who I am Instead of judging me by the way that I look,accept me for who I am Instead of judging me by the way that I look,accept me for who I am Instead of judging me by the way that I look,accept me for who I am (Chorus) |

You say destiny decided what was meant to be,
I say I decide myself what's to become with me... Simon says there's not a chance, we're let or get alone, none of us say anything but we both think he's wrong... You say we can choose the path of life we walk upon, I say I already know which path I'm walking on... Simon says the both of us, we're not allowed to move, none of us say anything but we both disapprove... Simon says... (5x) You say we can change the world if we can change itself, I say I can change the world before I change myself... Simon says we're not allowed to change the world we see, non of us say anything but we both disagree... Simon says... (13x) |

I close my eyes and hope that this is just another dream
Reality can't really be as bad as it seems I hope for something better but I'm waiting for the worst And when I open up my eyes I see the bubble burst All my dreams are broken as the world is torn apart Was it really meant to be this way right from the start If this is all we live for then I wish that I was dead Just so I could stop these thoughts from going through my head I close my eyes I close my eyes (3x) I close my eyes again and wish that everything was fine Even though I know that I'm just wasting precious time I'm losing my direction life is driving me insane The more things keep on changing the more they stay the same So please somebody catch me before I hit the ground I just can't understand what makes this crazy world go round The more I look around me the less I seem to know If this is all there is then I don't know where I can go I close my eyes I close my eyes (3x) I close my eyes and wish that I could turn back time I close my eyes and wish that I could press rewind I close my eyes and wish that I could change my mind I close my eyes and wish that everything was fine I close my eyes one final time to make my vision clear The more I try the more my vision seems to disapper The world keeps turning around as I turn my inside out I'm doing all I can to understand what life's about But everywhere I seem to look the answer isn't there Nobody's asking questions cos nobody seems to care There has to be some sort of meaning and a reason to exist If this is all there is there must be something that I missed I close my eyes I close my eyes (3x) I close my eyes and wish that I could turn back time I close my eyes and wish that I could press rewind I close my eyes and wish that I could change my mind I close my eyes and wish that everything was fine I close my eyes |

They say that the toes that you step on while you're on your way up
may be the same ones that you kiss going down Whatever it takes is what you're willing to do but what goes around will come back around There may be room at the top with the cream of the crop but you better be prepared for the hunt becos' the ones you see now at the back of the line where up front, so tell me, are you prepared to make the sacrifice are you strong enough to live your life..like a fool in paradise The things that you say while you're the star of the show will be remembered when your legacy fades so think what to say before you say what you think or learn to live with the mistakes that you've made The grass is always greener on the other side that's because it's not the side that you're on and all the friends you had when you were number one they're all gone so tell me, are you prepared to make the sacrifice are you strong enough to live your life..like a fool in paradise Like a fool in paradise (3x) Like a fool in paradise (7x) I'm a fool in paradise |

You know I never believed you were for real
I don't appreciate you or understand how you feel everytime no matter what I might find you give me a feeling that It ain't mine I don't believe in wasting time and you give me a sign that you're out of your mind It's frustrating not knowing the score but when you walk across the room towards the door,I'm sure You ain't ever gonna walk my way Cos' I know that you've never liked me anyway,so don't stay I wouldn't notice cos' I't ain't no loss all you ever did was cheat on me and double cross I won't be satisfied until you're gone but I still want to know what is going on You know that I've tried but I'm losing my hope I can't cope cos' you're tripping and you're slipping like a soap on a rope I won't break I won't bend I'll avenge I'll get you in the end The sooner you go the better,goodbye I won't miss you and I think you know why, You were never really much of a giver You took alot away from me but I was always a forgiver and forgetter But now I know better so I'm leaving you hanging and you won't be forgiven till I know that you're not living,anymore I'm gonna get you like a fly on the wall I'm gonna pull off your wings and watch you crawl then I'm gonna crush your balls You better believe that I'm gonna make you small I gotta get whatever I want I want it all and I want it up front,here we go I'm willing to bet'cha that I'm going to get'cha and you're gonna regret that you ever even met me,I know [Chorus] All I can think about is getting revenge and that'll be the day all my misery ends but until I choose to make me move I wan't you to think that you've got nothing to lose but I promise you you'll pay your dues the one place I wouldn't want to be is in shoes What can I say I'm gonna make you pay I'm gonna make you wish you never got in my way get you back for all the wrong you did for everything you put me through when I was a kid I'm gonna neglect you and disrespect you and then I'll reject you when you least expect me to and no matter what you do you're screwed You'll get your rights rejected and they won't be re-newed I'm gonna throw the first stone this time hitting you hard when you're off gaurd and the revenge is mine [Chorus] |

[Originally performed by Ultravox]
[From the album Vienna. Single released 17th January 1981.] We walked in the cold air Freezing breath on a window pane Lying and waiting A man in the dark in a picture frame So mystic and soulful A voice reaching out in a piercing cry It stays with you until The feeling has gone only you and I It means nothing to me This means nothing to me Oh, Vienna The music is weaving Haunting notes, pizzicato strings The rhythm is calling Alone in the night as the daylight brings A cool empty silence The warmth of your hand and a cold grey sky It fades to the distance The image has gone only you and I It means nothing to me This means nothing to me Oh, Vienna This means nothing to me This means nothing to me Oh, Vienna |

Don't tell me that I wouldn't understand
You know that's just another bad excuse even if I don't approve of what you might demand I still appreciate to hear the truth I've heard a thousand lies during my lifetime from people who don't dare to just attack But I prefer to see some sort of lifesign Rather than have people pat me on the back Fake a smile and make it Shake a hand and make pretend that I'm a friend Your main objective is to stay afloat That's why you always try and play it safe You're so scared of sinking every time you rock the boat and that's why you never look me in the face You try to be someone that I've accepted And that's the reason why you don't fit in I can't talk to someone who's unable to object and that's why the conversation's growing thin |
