I did my best to notice
When the call came down the line Up to the platform of surrender I was brought but I was kind And sometimes I get nervous When I see an open door Close your eyes, clear your heart Cut the cord Are we human or are we dancer? My sign is vital, my hands are cold And I'm on my knees looking for the answer Are we human or are we dancer? Pay my respects to grace and virtue Send my condolences to good Give my regards to soul and romance They always did the best they could And so long to devotion You taught me everything I know Wave goodbye, wish me well You've gotta let me go Are we human or are we dancer? My sign is vital, my hands are cold And I'm on my knees looking for the answer Are we human or are we dancer? Will your system be all right When you dream of home tonight There is no message we're receiving Let me know, is your heart still beating? Are we human or are we dancer? My sign is vital, my hands are cold And I'm on my knees looking for the answer You've gotta let me know Are we human or are we dancer? My sign is vital, my hands are cold And I'm on my knees looking for the answer Are we human or are we dancer? Are we human or are we dancer? Are we human or are we dancer? |

The emotion, it was electric
And the stars, they all aligned I knew I had to make my decision But I never made the time No, I never made the time In the dark for a while now I can't stay so far I can't stay much longer Riding my decision home Exoneration lost his eraser But my forgiver found the sun And there are twisted days that I take comfort 'Cause I'm not the only one No, I'm not the only one In the dark for a while now I can't stay very far I can't stay much longer Riding my decision home Now there's a majesty at my doorstep And there's a little boy in her arms Now we'll parade around without game plans Obligation or alarm In the dark for a while now I can't stay very far I can't stay much longer Riding my decision home In the dark for a while now I can't stay so far I can't stay much longer Riding my decision home In the dark |

When I offer you survival
You say it's hard enough to live It's not so bad, it's not so bad How do you know that you're right? I awoke on the roadside In the land of the free ride And I can't pull it any longer The sun is beating down my neck So I ran with the devil Left a trail of excuses Like a stone on the water The elements decide my fate Watch it go (Bling) When I offer you survival You say it's hard enough to live Don't tell me that it's over Stand up, poor and tired but more than this How do you know that you're right If you're not nervous anymore? It's not so bad, it's not so bad I feel my vision slipping in and out of focus But I'm pushing on for that horizon I'm pushing on Now I've got that blowing wind against my face So you sling rocks at the riptide Am I wrong or am I right? I hit the bottom with a huh Quite strange, I get my glory in the desert rain Watch it go (I offer you survival!) When I offer you survival You say it's hard enough to live And I'll tell you when it's over Shut up poor and tired but more than this How do you know that you're right If you're not nervous anymore? It's not so bad, it's not so bad Higher and higher We're gonna take it Down to the wire We're gonna make it Out of the fire Higher and higher Higher and higher We're gonna take it Down to the wire We're gonna make it Out of the fire Higher and higher Higher and higher We're gonna take it Down to the wire We're gonna make it out Whoa, higher and higher It ain't hard to hold When it shines like gold You'll remember me |

To the centre of the city where all roads meet, waiting for you
To the depths of the ocean where all hopes sank, searching for you Well I was moving through the silence without motion, waiting for you In a room without a window in the corner I found truth In the shadowplay, acting out your own death, knowing no more As the assassins all grouped in four lines, dancing on the floor And with cold steel, odour on their bodies made a move to connect But I could only stare in disbelief as the crowds all left I did everything, everything I wanted to I let them use you for their own ends To the centre of the city in the night, waiting for you To the centre of the city in the night, waiting for you |

Console me in my darkest hour
Convince me that the truth is always grey Caress me in your velvet chair Conceal me from the ghost you cast away I ain't in no hurry You go run and tell your friends I'm losin' touch Fill their heads with rumours of impending doom It must be true Console me in my darkest hour And tell me that you always hear my cries I wonder what you got conspired I'm sure it dons a consolation prize I ain't in no hurry You go run and tell your friends I'm losin' touch Fill the night with stories, the legend grows Of how you got lost But you made your way back home You sold your soul like a roamin' vagabond, yeah I heard you found a wishing well In the city Console me in my darkest hour (in my darkest hour) Then you throw me down I ain't in no hurry You go run and tell your friends I'm losin' touch Fill your crown with rumors Impending doom It must be true But you made your way back home You sold your soul like a roamin' vagabond And all that now you got lost, but you made your way back home You went and sold your soul, an allegiance dead and gone (and gone) I'm losin' touch |

A dustland fairytale beginning
Just another white trash county kiss In '61, long brown hair and foolish eyes He looked just like you'd want him to Some kind of slick chrome American prince A blue jean serenade and moon river, what'd you do to me? I don't believe you Saw Cinderella in a party dress But she was looking for a nightgown I saw the devil wrapping up his hands He's getting ready for the showdown I saw the minute that I turned away I got my money on a pawn tonight A change came in disguise A revelation set his soul on fire She says she always knew he'd come around And the decades disappear like sinking ships But we persevere, God gives us hope But we still fear what we don't know Your mind is poisoned Castles in the sky sit stranded, vandalized A drawbridge is closin' Saw Cinderella in a party dress But she was looking for a nightgown I saw the devil wrapping up his hands He's getting ready for the showdown I saw the ending when they turned the page I threw my money and I ran away Straight to the valley of the great divide Out where the dreams all hide Out where the wind don't blow Out here, the good girls die And the sky won't snow Out here, the bird don't sing Out here, the field don't grow Out here, the bell don't ring Out here, the bell don't ring Out here, the good girls die Now Cinderella, don't you go to sleep It's such a bitter form of refuge Oh, don't you know, the kingdom's under siege And everybody needs you? Is there still magic in the midnight sun Or did you leave it back in '61? In the cadence of a young man's eyes Out where the dreams all hide |

Nobody ever had a dream 'round here
But I don't really mind that it's starting to get to me Nobody ever pulls the seams 'round here But I don't really mind that it's starting to get to me I've got this energy beneath my feet Like something underground's gonna come up and carry me I've got this sentimental heart that beats But I don't really mind that it's starting to get to me now "Why do you waste my time?" Is the answer to the question on your mind And I'm sick of all my judges They're so scared of what they'll find But I know that I can make it As long as somebody takes me home Every now and then Oh, have you ever seen the lights? Have you ever seen the lights? I took a shuttle on a shock-wave ride Where people on the pen pull the trigger for accolade I took a bullet and I looked inside And running through my veins an American masquerade I still remember Grandma Dixie's wake Got never really known anybody to die before Red, white and blue upon a birthday cake My brother, he was born on the Fourth of July, and that's all "So why do you waste my time?" Is the answer to the question on your mind And I'm sick of all my judges They're so scared of letting me shine But I know that I can make it As long as somebody takes me home Every now and then Every now and then You know, I see London, I see Sam's Town Holds my hand and lets my hair down Rolls that world right off my shoulder I see London, I see Sam's Town now |

Just tryin' to keep it in line You say you wanna move on and You say I'm falling behind Can you read my mind? Can you read my mind? I never really gave up on Breakin' out of this two-star town I got the green light, I got a little fight I'm gonna turn this thing around Can you read my mind? Can you read my mind? The good old days, the honest man The restless heart, the Promised Land A subtle kiss that no one sees A broken wrist and a big trapeze Oh, well, I don't mind, if you don't mind 'Cause I don't shine if you don't shine Before you go Can you read my mind? It's funny how you just break down Waitin' on some sign I pull up to the front of your driveway With magic soakin' my spine Can you read my mind? Can you read my mind? The teenage queen, the loaded gun The drop-dead dream, the Chosen One A Southern drawl, a world unseen A city wall and a trampoline Oh, well, I don't mind, if you don't mind 'Cause I don't shine if you don't shine Before you go Tell me what you find Can you read my mind? Slippin' in my faith until I fall He never returned that call Woman, open the door, don't let it sting I wanna breathe that fire again She said, I don't mind, if you don't mind 'Cause I don't shine if you don't shine Put your back on me Oh, put your back on me Oh, put your back on me The stars are blazing like rebel diamonds cut out of the sun Can you read my mind? |

And the stars, they all aligned I knew I had to make my decision But I never made the time No, I never made the time In the dark for a while now I can't stay so far I can't stay much longer Riding my decision home Exoneration lost his eraser But my forgiver found the sun And there are twisted days that I take comfort 'Cause I'm not the only one No, I'm not the only one In the dark for a while now I can't stay very far I can't stay much longer Riding my decision home Now there's a majesty at my doorstep And there's a little boy in her arms Now we'll parade around without game plans Obligation or alarm In the dark for a while now I can't stay very far I can't stay much longer Riding my decision home In the dark for a while now I can't stay so far I can't stay much longer Riding my decision home In the dark |

When I offer you survival
You say it's hard enough to live It's not so bad, it's not so bad How do you know that you're right? I awoke on the roadside In the land of the free ride And I can't pull it any longer The sun is beating down my neck So I ran with the devil Left a trail of excuses Like a stone on the water The elements decide my fate Watch it go (Bling) When I offer you survival You say it's hard enough to live Don't tell me that it's over Stand up, poor and tired but more than this How do you know that you're right If you're not nervous anymore? It's not so bad, it's not so bad I feel my vision slipping in and out of focus But I'm pushing on for that horizon I'm pushing on Now I've got that blowing wind against my face So you sling rocks at the riptide Am I wrong or am I right? I hit the bottom with a huh Quite strange, I get my glory in the desert rain Watch it go (I offer you survival!) When I offer you survival You say it's hard enough to live And I'll tell you when it's over Shut up poor and tired but more than this How do you know that you're right If you're not nervous anymore? It's not so bad, it's not so bad Higher and higher We're gonna take it Down to the wire We're gonna make it Out of the fire Higher and higher Higher and higher We're gonna take it Down to the wire We're gonna make it Out of the fire Higher and higher Higher and higher We're gonna take it Down to the wire We're gonna make it out Whoa, higher and higher It ain't hard to hold When it shines like gold You'll remember me |

To the centre of the city where all roads meet, waiting for you
To the depths of the ocean where all hopes sank, searching for you Well I was moving through the silence without motion, waiting for you In a room without a window in the corner I found truth In the shadowplay, acting out your own death, knowing no more As the assassins all grouped in four lines, dancing on the floor And with cold steel, odour on their bodies made a move to connect But I could only stare in disbelief as the crowds all left I did everything, everything I wanted to I let them use you for their own ends To the centre of the city in the night, waiting for you To the centre of the city in the night, waiting for you |

Console me in my darkest hour
Convince me that the truth is always grey Caress me in your velvet chair Conceal me from the ghost you cast away I ain't in no hurry You go run and tell your friends I'm losin' touch Fill their heads with rumours of impending doom It must be true Console me in my darkest hour And tell me that you always hear my cries I wonder what you got conspired I'm sure it dons a consolation prize I ain't in no hurry You go run and tell your friends I'm losin' touch Fill the night with stories, the legend grows Of how you got lost But you made your way back home You sold your soul like a roamin' vagabond, yeah I heard you found a wishing well In the city Console me in my darkest hour (in my darkest hour) Then you throw me down I ain't in no hurry You go run and tell your friends I'm losin' touch Fill your crown with rumors Impending doom It must be true But you made your way back home You sold your soul like a roamin' vagabond And all that now you got lost, but you made your way back home You went and sold your soul, an allegiance dead and gone (and gone) I'm losin' touch |

Oh oh oh-oh, oh oh oh oh-oh Oh oh oh-oh, oh oh oh oh-oh Oh oh oh-oh, oh oh oh oh-oh It started with a low light Next thing I knew they ripped me from my bed And then they took my blood type They left a strange impression in my head You know that I was hoping That I could leave this star-crossed world behind But when they cut me open I guess I changed my mind And you know I might have just flown Too far from the floor this time 'Cause they're calling me by my name And they're zipping white light beams Disregarding bombs and satellites And that was the turning point That was one lonely night The star maker says it ain't so bad The dream maker's gonna make you mad The spaceman says, "Everybody look down It's all in your mind" Well, now I'm back at home and I'm looking forward to this life I live You know it's gonna haunt me So hesitation to this life I give You think you might cross over You're caught between the devil and the deep blue sea You better look it over Before you make that leap And you know I'm fine But I hear those voices at night Sometimes they justify my claim And the public don't dwell on my transmission 'Cause it wasn't televised But it was the turning point Oh, what a lonely night The star maker says it ain't so bad The dream maker's gonna make you mad The spaceman says, "Everybody look down It's all in your mind" The star maker says it ain't so bad The dream maker's gonna make you mad The spaceman says, "Everybody look down It's all in your mind" My global position systems are vocally addressed They say the Nile used to run from east to west They say the Nile used to run from east to west I'm fine But I hear those voices at night sometimes The star maker says it ain't so bad The dream maker's gonna make you mad The spaceman says, "Everybody look down It's all in your mind" The star maker says it ain't so bad The dream maker's gonna make you mad The spaceman says, "Everybody look down It's all in your mind" Oh oh oh-oh, oh oh oh oh-oh Oh oh oh-oh, oh oh oh oh-oh Oh oh oh-oh, oh oh oh oh-oh Oh oh oh-oh, oh oh oh oh-oh (It's all in my mind) Oh oh oh-oh, oh oh oh oh-oh Oh oh oh-oh, oh oh oh oh-oh (It's all in my mind) Oh oh oh-oh, oh oh oh oh-oh Oh oh oh-oh, oh oh oh oh-oh Oh oh oh-oh, oh oh oh oh-oh Oh oh oh-oh, oh oh oh oh-oh Oh oh oh-oh, oh oh oh oh-oh Oh oh oh-oh, oh oh oh oh-oh |

A dustland fairytale beginning
Just another white trash county kiss In '61, long brown hair and foolish eyes He looked just like you'd want him to Some kind of slick chrome American prince A blue jean serenade and moon river, what'd you do to me? I don't believe you Saw Cinderella in a party dress But she was looking for a nightgown I saw the devil wrapping up his hands He's getting ready for the showdown I saw the minute that I turned away I got my money on a pawn tonight A change came in disguise A revelation set his soul on fire She says she always knew he'd come around And the decades disappear like sinking ships But we persevere, God gives us hope But we still fear what we don't know Your mind is poisoned Castles in the sky sit stranded, vandalized A drawbridge is closin' Saw Cinderella in a party dress But she was looking for a nightgown I saw the devil wrapping up his hands He's getting ready for the showdown I saw the ending when they turned the page I threw my money and I ran away Straight to the valley of the great divide Out where the dreams all hide Out where the wind don't blow Out here, the good girls die And the sky won't snow Out here, the bird don't sing Out here, the field don't grow Out here, the bell don't ring Out here, the bell don't ring Out here, the good girls die Now Cinderella, don't you go to sleep It's such a bitter form of refuge Oh, don't you know, the kingdom's under siege And everybody needs you? Is there still magic in the midnight sun Or did you leave it back in '61? In the cadence of a young man's eyes Out where the dreams all hide |

Nobody ever had a dream 'round here
But I don't really mind that it's starting to get to me Nobody ever pulls the seams 'round here But I don't really mind that it's starting to get to me I've got this energy beneath my feet Like something underground's gonna come up and carry me I've got this sentimental heart that beats But I don't really mind that it's starting to get to me now "Why do you waste my time?" Is the answer to the question on your mind And I'm sick of all my judges They're so scared of what they'll find But I know that I can make it As long as somebody takes me home Every now and then Oh, have you ever seen the lights? Have you ever seen the lights? I took a shuttle on a shock-wave ride Where people on the pen pull the trigger for accolade I took a bullet and I looked inside And running through my veins an American masquerade I still remember Grandma Dixie's wake Got never really known anybody to die before Red, white and blue upon a birthday cake My brother, he was born on the Fourth of July, and that's all "So why do you waste my time?" Is the answer to the question on your mind And I'm sick of all my judges They're so scared of letting me shine But I know that I can make it As long as somebody takes me home Every now and then Every now and then You know, I see London, I see Sam's Town Holds my hand and lets my hair down Rolls that world right off my shoulder I see London, I see Sam's Town now |

The good old days, the honest man The restless heart, the Promised Land A subtle kiss that no one sees A broken wrist and a big trapeze Oh, well, I don't mind, if you don't mind 'Cause I don't shine if you don't shine Before you go Can you read my mind? It's funny how you just break down Waitin' on some sign I pull up to the front of your driveway With magic soakin' my spine Can you read my mind? Can you read my mind? The teenage queen, the loaded gun The drop-dead dream, the Chosen One A Southern drawl, a world unseen A city wall and a trampoline Oh, well, I don't mind, if you don't mind 'Cause I don't shine if you don't shine Before you go Tell me what you find Can you read my mind? Slippin' in my faith until I fall He never returned that call Woman, open the door, don't let it sting I wanna breathe that fire again She said, I don't mind, if you don't mind 'Cause I don't shine if you don't shine Put your back on me Oh, put your back on me Oh, put your back on me The stars are blazing like rebel diamonds cut out of the sun Can you read my mind? |

Leaves are fallin' down on the beautiful ground
I heard a story from the man in red He said the leaves are fallin' down, such a beautiful sound Son, I think you'd better go ahead But you always hold your head up high 'Cause it's a long, long, long way down This town was meant for passing through Boy, it ain't nothin' new Now go and show 'em that the world stayed round But it's a long, long, long way down You better run for the hills before they burn Listen to the sound of the world, don't watch it turn I just want to show you what I know And catch you when the current lets you go Or should I just get along with myself? I never did get along with everybody else I've been tryin' hard to do what's right But, you know, I could stay here all night And watch the clouds fall from the sky This river is wild This river is wild Run for the hills before they burn Listen to the sound of the world, don't watch it turn But shake a little sometimes I'm nervous when I talk I shake a little Sometimes I hate the line I walk I just wanna show you what I know And catch you when the current lets you go Or should I just get along with myself? I never did get along with everybody else I've been trying hard to do what's right But, you know, I could stay here all night And watch the clouds fall from the sky Because this river is wild Godspeed ya, boy This river is wild Now Adam's taking bombs and he's stuck on his mom Because that bitch keeps tryin' to make him pray He's with the hippie in the park coming over the dark Just tryin' to get some of that little girl-play You better run for the hills before they burn Listen to the sound of the world, don't watch it turn I just want to show you what I know And catch you when the current lets you go Or should I get along with myself? I never did get along with everybody else I've been tryin' hard to do what's right But, you know, I could stay here all night And watch the clouds fall from the sky The pain is hell in me tonight Because this river is wild Godspeed ya, boy This river is wild This river is wild Godspeed ya, boy This river is wild Now the cars are everywhere Raisin' dust at the fairground I don't think I ever seen so many headlights But there's somethin' pullin' me The circus and the crew Well, they're just passin' through Makin' sure the merry still goes round But it's a long, long, long way down |

(Come with me)
We took a back road, we're gonna look at the stars We took a back road in my car Down to the ocean, it's only water and sand And in the ocean, we'll hold hands But I don't really like you Apologetically dressed in the best Put on a heartbeat glide Without an answer, the thunder speaks for the sky And on the cold, wet dirt I cry And on the cold, wet dirt I cry Don't you wanna come with me? Don't you wanna feel my bones On your bones? It's only natural This cinematic vision ensues Like the holiest dream There's someone calling, an angel whispers my name But the message relayed is the same (Wait 'til tomorrow you'll be fine) But it's gone to the dogs in my mind Always hear them when the dead of night Comes calling to save me from this fight But they can never wrong this right Don't you wanna come with me? Don't you wanna feel my bones On your bones? It's only natural Don't you wanna swim with me? Don't you wanna feel my skin On your skin? It's only natural (Never had a lover) I never had a lover (Never had soul) I never had soul (Never had a good time) And I never had a good time (Never got bold) I never got bold Don't you wanna come with me? Don't you wanna feel my bones On your bones? It's only natural Don't you wanna swim with me? Don't you wanna feel my skin On your skin? It's only natural Don't you wanna come with me? Don't you wanna feel my bones On your bones? It's only natural Come and take a swim with me Don't you wanna feel my skin On your skin? It's only natural |

Time it tells, living in my hometown
Wedding bells, they begin easy Live it down, baby don't talk that much Baby knows, but baby don't tease me In the park, we could go walking Drown in the dark, or we could go sailing On the sea Always here, always on time Close call was it love, or was it just easy Money talks, when people need shoes and socks Steady boys, I'm thinkin' she needs me I was just, sippin' on somethin' sweet I don't need, political process I got this feelin' that they're gonna break down the door I got this feelin' that they're gonna come back for more See I was thinking that I lost my mind But it's been gettin' to me all this time And it don't, stop, draggin' me down Silently reflection turns my world to stone Patiently correction leaves us all alone And sometimes I'm a travel man But tonight this engine's failing And I still hear the children playing Kick the can, kick the can skip and play jacks Steal a car, and ring around Rosie Rock and roll, Candy Land boogieman Run away, and give me your sneakers Acid rain, when Abel looked up at Cain We began, the weeping and wailing A hurried high, from pestilence pills and pride It's a shame, we could have gone sailing But heaven knows, heaven knows everything Tranquilize I got this feeling that they're gonna break down the door I got this feeling that they're gonna come back for more See I was thinking that I lost my mind But it's been gettin' to me all this time And it don't stop draggin' me down Silently reflection turns my world to stone Patiently correction leaves us all alone And sometimes I'm a travel man But tonight this engine's failing And I still hear the children playing Dead beat dancers come to us and stay Lou Reed: 'Cause I don't care where you been And I don't care what you seen We're the ones who still believe And we're lookin' for a page In that lifeless book of hope Where a dream might help you cope Where the Bushes and the bombs Uh huh, tranquilize |

I did my best to notice
When the call came down the line Up to the platform of surrender I was brought but I was kind And sometimes I get nervous When I see an open door Close your eyes, clear your heart Cut the cord Are we human or are we dancer? My sign is vital, my hands are cold And I'm on my knees looking for the answer Are we human or are we dancer? Pay my respects to grace and virtue Send my condolences to good Give my regards to soul and romance They always did the best they could And so long to devotion You taught me everything I know Wave goodbye, wish me well You've gotta let me go Are we human or are we dancer? My sign is vital, my hands are cold And I'm on my knees looking for the answer Are we human or are we dancer? Will your system be all right When you dream of home tonight There is no message we're receiving Let me know, is your heart still beating? Are we human or are we dancer? My sign is vital, my hands are cold And I'm on my knees looking for the answer You've gotta let me know Are we human or are we dancer? My sign is vital, my hands are cold And I'm on my knees looking for the answer Are we human or are we dancer? Are we human or are we dancer? Are we human or are we dancer? |
