Tuesdays and Fridays I'd wait at the bus stop
And guess who won't show up
I'm tired of waiting for you

Reflections in puddles and rain on their faces
How awkward this place is
When all seems connected to you

You warned me from the first time on
But I chose to ignore the things you said
Of course it didn't take you long
To figure out a way to pull my leg

Well, here I stand
I don't feel too good
Slightly canned
I wish you would

Untie the knot
Untie the knot, then the have
Have not
Untie the knot

You won't have me worried
I can still take care of myself somehow
You won't have me worried
Just have to rethink my thoughts somehow

Well, here I stand
I don't feel too good
Slightly canned
I wish you would
Untie the knot

Well I wish I had known your name
Is it possible that we might
Have felt the same
'Bout the senselessness within the air
Paints it's words almost everywhere
Now the sun will always shine
On this palomine

Well I wish I had known you then
Well who knows, I might have been a better friend
But now the senselessness within the air
Paints it's words almost everywhere
How come life sometimes
Makes you feel so scared
I know the sun will always shine
Yes the sun will always shine
And the sun will always shine
On this palomine

Well even when I think out about
The things you used to say out loud
Even then I can't say I was prepared
To settle down to what you did
You made your choice and that was it
How come life sometimes
Makes you feel so scared
And now the sun will always shine
Yes the sun will always shine
Yes the sun will always shine
On this palomine

Down in the cellar with Dolly and Sue
Smoking fags and feeling cool
Talking to the guy who lives downstairs
Walking around in ridiculous flares
Back in the bushes, we find a cat
Beat'm up with a baseball bat
And grandma says we'll turn out bad
And go straight to hell, just like dad

But don't get your hopes up high
The kid's allright

Down in the cellar with Dolly and Sue
Falling in love and feeling blue
Flirting with the guy who lives downstairs
And walking around in ridiculous flares
Playing hooky, pretend we're sick
Momma don't care if it's just a trick
'Cause she just wishes she never had
Those kids from hell who drive her mad

But don't get your hopes up high
The kid's allright
Now don't you think the kid's allright

How does this rhyme, 'cause every time I see you
Well, I could swear, must've met you somewhere

Down under lock and key
There's a brain-tag to every secret
If I could keep my mouth shut
There's a chance that I might even keep it
You feel familiar and I wanna feel some more
Have I ever laid my hands on you before?

This must sound weird, it's like you peered inside me
'Cause every time you recognize my state of mind

Down under lock and key
We put a brain-tag to every secret
Now comes a time to figure out
Whether we should keep it
You feel familiar and I wanna feel some more
Have I ever laid my hands on you before?

Total freedom beneath the waves
Floating through the arcane caves
Synchronized in time and space
Leaving all desire behind

From where I stand, I can see
They've got the upper hand of me
Reminds me of this world at last
Simply changes much to fast for me

And when they call out, will I hear them?
And when they fall out, will I see them?

This yellow light on the crowd
And colors way to loud to see
Reveal their drive, we could change it
Try to rearrange it

They call me a Tom Boy and I let them
'Cause only a Tom Boy could forget them
And simply change it

They call me a Tom Boy and I love it
'Cause only a Tom Boy could stand above it
By simply changing

You could travel for a lifetime
and still stay where you are
You could wait until the right time,
resolve to make or mar
People tell you what they know,
they're mostly wrong from the word go
It's under the surface and it's up in the sky
That's why you won't reach it, so don't even try

The lines are old, yet still not weakened
You don't kow what to do
Cause everyone else around is sleeping,
the choice is up to you
Now you better watch out what you're saying,
these words could cut like swords
You better watch out while you're praying
find out what you're praying for
People tell you what they know
they're mostly wrong from the word go

Cause it's under the surfae and it's up in the sky
That's why you won't reach it, so don't even try

It's so unexpected, now how could it be true
I never would detect it, if it hadn't been for you
Now I got this notion, and it's bottled up inside
A swamp of emotions, there's no need to hide

It's under the surface and it's up in the sky
That's why you won't reach it, so don't even try

Balentine, if we could turn back the time
We would've made the same mistakes all over again

Balentine, well it could all turn out fine
If you would try to understand what's on my mind

Oh, Balentine, my dearest Valentine
Well I could learn a lot from you
'Cause no one does the things you do
And I don't really want them to

Balentine, if we could turn back the time
We would've made the same mistakes all over again

Balentine, well it hurts me sometimes
To think that you and I have wasted all this time

Oh, Balentine, my dearest Valentine
Well I could learn a lot from you
'Cause no one comes as near as you
And I don't really want them to

Sometimes you tend to take the bark off
See what's left inside
Don't tell me, you'll spoil the whole surprise

And I wonder why you call this nowhere
And why do you tell me not to go there
Would you jump into defences if I do?
And as I ponder over this thing nowhere
And the face we disagree, well, who cares?
And to hell with common senses, they just won't do

You sure set out to tame my feelings
You bragged, you'd screw them all
Now why do you do that?
Don't give the disenfranchised ceilings
It'll drive them up the wall
Yeah, and guess who blew it

For the source of every comprehension
Is not the act, it's just the mere intention
I suppose that I forgot to mention that to you

And I guess that's what it is about me
That makes you feel you're better off without me
'Cause you never would allow me to choose my rows
And as I ponder over this thing nowhere
A little scared of what I'm going to find there
But let's take that ride and see how far it goes

Circumstance's confusing
Close my eyes, it isn't there
Tell me what is so amusing
Afraid, a promise promised is just a snare

Eager to reject at first
When frank smiles only make it worse
Down to your heart
That's where it starts
Now the set up seems the same, it don't mean nothing

Eager to retract at first
When frank smiles only make it worse
Down to your toes
That's where it flows
The set up seems the same, it don't prove nothing

Eager to reject at first
When frank smiles only make it worse
Lass finds a swain
Binds'm with chains
And loosens'm again, it don't mean nothing

Sundazed to the core
I must say, I never saw it this way
But it's over now
Sundazed to the core
I must say, it started off a dog-way
But it's over now

Well I wish I had known your name
Is it possible that we might
Have felt the same
'Bout the senselessness within the air
Paints it's words almost everywhere
Now the sun will always shine
On this palomine

Well I wish I had known you then
Well who knows, I might have been a better friend
But now the senselessness within the air
Paints it's words almost everywhere
How come life sometimes
Makes you feel so scared
I know the sun will always shine
Yes the sun will always shine
And the sun will always shine
On this palomine

Well even when I think out about
The things you used to say out loud
Even then I can't say I was prepared
To settle down to what you did
You made your choice and that was it
How come life sometimes
Makes you feel so scared
And now the sun will always shine
Yes the sun will always shine
Yes the sun will always shine
On this palomine
