The Czars

Strange how you've stopped loving me
how you've stopped needing me,
since she came along, oh, how strange

Strange, you changed like night and day
Just up and walked away
when she came along, oh, how strange

Well, I guess that I was just your puppet
you held on a string
to think I thought you really loved me
but look what thoughts can bring

Strange, you're still in all my dreams
oh, what a funny thing
I still care for you, oh, how strange

You don't know what love is
Until you've learned the meaning of the Blues
Until you've loved a love you had to lose
You don't know what love is

You don't know how lips hurt
Until you've kissed and had to pay the cost
Until you've flipped your heart and you have lost
You don't know what love is

What a dream l had
Pressed in organdy Clothed in
crinoline of smoky Burgundy
Softer than the rain
I wandered empty streets
Down past the shop displays
I heard cathedral bells
Tripping down the alley ways
As I walked on
And when you ran to me
Your cheeks flushed with the night
We walked on frosted fields of
juniper and lamplight
I held your hand

And when I a woke and saw you
warm and near I kissed your honey
hair with my grateful tears
Oh I love you girl
I love you I love you

I'm waiting over here
Just to see you
My love
For the last time
Goodbye
I love to see you fade and die
I love to see you kicking
Screaming as you try to reach the sky
Goodbye
I love to see you fade and die
I love to see you kicking
Screaming as you try to reach the sky to fly
I'm begging you tonight
I want to free you
My love
Just one last time forever
Maybe we can change
We always seem to fall again
We are still alive
We have to give up everything and die
And all I want is you
And so it's over now
And I have loved you with my life, but this is the last time

I need a lot of hope from you
But I forgot, I went away instead
I hope I'm not disturbing you
But I forgot, I'm not who you need

I hope you're not talkin' 'bout yesterday,
'Cause I can't live, I can't live that way
It's all gone now and you don;t know the truth
So you must go now and find the door
I hope I'm not disturbing you

I wanted that. I needed that.
I anticipated this for the longest time

I wnat to be desired by that.
I want it to infatuate me
I want to see if can overcome.
Without saying that

If this is what you want,
then get used to destruction
If this is what you need,
then get used to depression
'Cause there's nobody here gonna sit around,
and listen to you opinion
If this is what you want,
then get used to being alone

when you were a child you laughed and cried.
And then somebody filled you full of pride
And we were all there the day your personality died.
And we all still feel the loss

But feelings are a little bit steep for you.
You've got a lot of things that you must do
Like tapping the sap from the apple trees.
For your own self pity stew

If this is what yuo want,
then get used to rejection
If this is what you need,
then get used to suppression
'Cause there's nobody here gonna sit around,
and listen to your opinion,
If this is what you want,
then get used to being alone

You seem to think you've got this business
figured out inside your head
And all the while you see me,
Falling, For your name

You seem to think it's easier to steal
and cheat instead of love
but you're not getting any younger.
so start your life. It isn't over yet

and all you pouple, who try to understand,
you know, they're not any younger
They start their lives, It isn't over yet.

And so I see you on the road to your own.
But you're not getting any younger
You start your life. It isn't over yet

Your professional, you are kind, you always say the right things
you show up on time, everyday, smiling doing what you do.

I'd like to get in your skin, to see what I could see from there.
But it isn't that way is it, darling?
We're not doing this for you.

The nail that sticks out
must be hammered down, hammered down
Oh, the nail that sticks out
must be hammered down, hammered down

I'd like to do the right thing darling
I'd like to show myself the way to your door
but it isn't that way and it never will be
wait til you see what we've in store for you

refrain or whatever:

it's a bandaid for gangrene, a bandaid for gangrene

Stay here, won't you
I know that you are the best
white force, you know
I cannot be around the rest

I'm gonna make it work this time
throw you out and be just fine
you know that you are the best
I don't care what you wanna do this time
throw yourself away this time
I cannot be around the best

*won't you stay a while

stay here, won't you
I know that you are the best
white force, you know, I cannot be around the rest, for life

that's the way I like to see you offer
that's the way I like to see you offer

Didn't you go out in the morning
Didn't you go out in the evening
I was, ready for anything

I don't mind, I won't find out anyway,
I'm too blind, to see you at all

Can I have what I feel that I must have
Multiply by ten, that's what I think I need
Overshadow your life
Do you like asphyxiation

I don't mind, I won't find out anyway, I'm too blind
I don't mind, I won't find out anyway,
I am too blind, to see you at all

I demand, I demand that I be seen by you
for all my overtime, you want to make it home now, don't you?

I guess I am, the one that really needs to get through to you
because we're wasting time, you spend your life getting through

I thought it over, will you be the one
so I said to myself, I said to myself
are you willing to make the change

I thought it over, will you be the one
so I said to myself, I said to myself
I'm not willing to go there yet

I demand, I demand that I be seen by you
for all my overtime, you want to make it somewhere, don't you?

I had a dream last night
you were the one to make the change
so I said to myself, I said to myself
were you not, willing to lead me now along the path you've chosen
lying to yourself, saying to yourself, I'm not the one

I will not wait around to face my fortune
I will not wait around for something else
You are around me now, you can have anything
that you want

Calling all your resource for another time
that is fine
if I write a note and leave it anywhere
that is fine
you can have anything, you can have anything, that you want

If you've got leavin' on your mind
Tell me now, get it over
Hurt me now, get it over
If you've got leavin' on your mind

If there's a new love in your heart
Tell me now, get it over
Hurt me now, get it over
If there's a new love in your heart

Don't leave me here in a world
Filled with dreams that might have been
Hurt me now, get it over
I may learn to love again

If there's a new love in your heart
Tell me now, get it over
Hurt me now, get it over
If there's a new love in your heart
Hurt me now, get it over
If there's a new love in your heart

What a dream l had

Strange, you're still in all my dreams
oh, what a funny thing
I still care for you, oh, how strange

Long afloat, on shipless oceans
I did all my best to smile
til your singing eyes and fingers
drew me loving to your aisle

and you sang
sail to me
sail to me, let me enfold you

here I am, here I am
waiting to hold you

did I dream, you dreamt about me
were you hare, when I was fox
now my foolish boat, is leaning
broken lovelorn on you rocks

for you sing, touch me not
touch me not, come back tomorrow
Oh my heart, oh my heart
shy's from the sorrow

I'm as puzzled as the newborn child
I'm as riddled as the tide
should I stand amid the breakers
or should I lie with death my bride
hear me sing
swim to me
swim to me
let me enfold you

here I am, here I am, waiting to hold you

Just one vice is all, is all any man needs to make him happy,
This old man, he's got, he's got all he needs to keep him happy.

Just one lie is all you find you can't read, but you are happy,
My advice: why not take two or three if you're feeling lucky.

Hold on tight
Let it eat you from inside
Take you away
You are safe

Just one lie is all, is all any man needs to keep him happy,
My advice: why not take two or three if you're feeling lucky.

Hold on tight
Don't let go
Let it eat you from inside
Take you away
You are safe

Emptiness
Emptiness, how do I search for you
Empty everything and strip the walls
make them colourless, invisible
stop all thought
I am not losing now
I can't feel anything
I can't see you

Try and make me go away tonight
Try and make yourself pretend
I wanted it, I needed it
For the longest time
Try and make yourself pretend
you can't go on tonight
I wanted it, I needed it
For the longest time

I don't want to do this anymore
I don't want to hear your voice
I wanted it, I needed it
For the longest time
You don't even have to want
you don't even have to care
I wanted it, I needed it
for the longets time
