Hey what's your problem? You make me so uneasy. Have you ever thought about it. Everything's so black and white to you. Do you wake up every morning Cursing the colour of your skin, There's nothing you can do about it. I got to stop running into you. We had a conversation But you were talking to yourself. I just happened to be standing there, I could've been a fishbowl on a shelf And it's a crying shame Cause I've done all I can do. You're living in an ancient fortress, You're letting nothing new come through. Hey mister bluesky, You're looking grey, Your face is flushed but it's never red. There's a shadow hanging over your head. You could be a buddha baby To be free where you belong, There's never any misconceptions When everything you know is wrong And it's a brave new world, It's a carousel come true. That's why it gets me down Sitting here listening to you. Hey mister bluesky You're looking grey Your face is flushed but it's never red. There's a shadow hanging over your head.
The caravans are rolling out On the closing day I see you standing in the crowd I want so much to say If I don't look as lost as you It's just because I've learnt to hide it Walking the tightrope everynight That was all we ever needed to know I love you honey but the season is over
Where are you going ? My conscious is up and down I'm a human cannonball I don't feel so holy now Have I ever been at all ?
Sand in my eyes sand in my hair Sand in the places I never knew People are cruel when they want to be They turn into monsters Out of the sea You're not like all of the rest You're always smiling and waving When I was younger I was sure I could fly above it all I remember looking down But I'm so tied up To the ground now You're not like all of the rest
You're always smiling and waiving Can I be sonic too ? Stars in my eyes stars in my hair Stars and footprints in the air Could I ever be that tall Wrapped up in this mortal coil ? You're not like all of the rest You're always smiling and waiving Who catches you when you're falling ?
He got a tattoo of her name He only met her yesterday Always in a rush that boy He always reads the last page first He's always cutting to the chase Always in a rush that boy Like a bee Like a bear in honey
Here he comes There he goes again Don't play hide and seek with him He never counts to ten Always in a rush that boy
I lost the bow you tied round my finger Somewhere on the trail I threw in my hand for a heart full of holes I rode through the night thinking of you And whatever it was I couldn't pin down or tame Or lay blame at the feet of. This is not the end It's just another scene Blue gone green
I let you go Like a balloon at the fairground I ran after you Saw all the signs saying give up the ghost But I know there's more to the picture I've got a good feeling
Somebody made the wheel Someone said what's the point Critics come and critics go The faithless follow fashion mister Don't you know Whatever you've got under your hat You'll need a whole lot more than that. This reminds me Of all the reasons why I hated school It seemed so black and white I mean Every moment had a rule Maybe that's why I see red Boy you're such a sleepyhead I wonder what will ever wake you up
The bells of a thousand firetrucks I sure hope that one day you wake up Sleepyhead Higher higher even higher Don't stop till my head is way up In the clouds I don't feel any different But you sure seem so much smaller now The door is always open wide If you ever want to climb inside.
There's a boy, there's a boy He really turns my world Round and round. Can we be, can we be Like two birds in a tree Free and found ? Who's to know which way it will go. Sister sun, sister sun You know who is the one To brighten your sky.
Mister moon, mister moon Yeh you in your balloon Don't let it all go by. Who's to know which way it will go. My dreamship. Run baby run, grab whatever you can.
Throw me down your ladder I'll climb up Searching for a hole in the sky I was always looking for places to hide I was down I was done over You pushed me off the edge of my star When all I tried to do was grow lillies in my palm I have turned every stone I have shaken every tree Holding on, letting go I had to push my begging bowl Where's the truth? Where's the love? Where were you? Now there are sparkles on the pavement
The stars are reaching down for me It was deep inside my heart in the darkness I began to see I have turned every stone I have shaken every tree Holding on, letting go I had to push my begging bowl Where's the truth? Where's the love? Where were you?
You stop yourself before you start No-one is allowed inside you The desert of your heart The one I want to ride through Let me come over If you want to shoot the moon If you want to sail for the sun If you want to shake the monkey Baby, I'm the one Let me come over
I like how you're holding out For who I wonder I like your easy blush And when you swing your wrecking ball Down like thunder Baby I can take the crush Let me come over
To build a fire isn't always easy In a storm but you can try Just when I was thinking what's an eskimo to do Something in the fog says I can find my way with you The walls are white The room feels bigger than is On into the night The wind will be whistling a tune Just when I was thinking what's an eskimo to do Something in the fog says I can find my way with you Sun in my alaska
Sun in my alaska Time to go outside Time to read the writing on the wall Facing up to this I kiss the light Colder than a polar bear this much is true Just when I was thinking what's an eskimo to do Something in the fog says I can find my way with you
Everybody wants to take you home You sat on your bed and cried I wrap myself round you You and your stupid pride. Ditch the dark angel Climb up on this pedestal. Everybody wants to take you home We stepped across the line Now pleasure's a crown of thorns And pain is a valentine. Sometimes we have to learn When to let the bridges burn. Why do you want to be Where no-one can find you
Nobody knows you Set all your ghosts free The house is so haunted Is this what you wanted ?. Everybody wants to take you home You try to live up to that You feel like you're falling short Like a washed up acrobat. Mirror mirror on the wall Raise your arm against it all.
Don't be confused by my apparent lack of ceremony, my mind is clear. I may be low or miles high off in the distance, I want you near. I love you even when I'm sleeping. when I close my eyes you're everywhere. and if they take me flying on the magic carpet, see me wave. if our communication fails I'll reconnect it, I want to rave. I love you even when I'm sleeping. when I close my eyes you're everywhere. no matter where the road is leading us remember don't be afraid. we have a continent that sometimes comes between us, that's ok. I love you even when I'm sleeping. when I close my eyes you're everywhere
Wednesday girl, wednesday boy Comes around in the morning Stepping lightly, Taking coffee in the garden Where the sunflowers inspire you To paint a picture, Write a letter. Wednesday girl, wednesday boy, Lunch is brie And a little wine and music On the sofa, Soon enough siesta Now you're finally with the one you love. Wednesday girl, wednesday boy. Nothing demanding here, There's an understanding here, No mind for matters permanent. Step out On another perfect afternoon for walking Back to the tower Where the battle rages on Armed with love.
I wish I was a little clearer, I'm slipping into the slipstream, I feel just like a falling angel, I dreamed last night I was lost at sea.
CHORUS Don't fall for me, Cause I'm already down I'm already down
I've made friends with a Boa Constrictor, I've lost my feet in the undertow, And the mirror's just like a matrioshka doll, and the big black clouds are out on show.
CHORUS
I don't understand *2
Now I'm screaming underwater, And morpheus won't let me sleep. The meloncholy dawn birds sing to me, i'm getting used to their company.
So there I was at the party And everybody seemed to be so well rehearsed. Come the time to play my part I tried But I couldn't find the page I stumbled through the scene And out the door onto the street And off the stage Now I'm thinking of marcel marceau. Marcel why is it so? In the problematic art of conversation I'm sitting down to t.v. Almost every waking moment of my time Now I find I eat I sleep I dream in hour episodes. It sure is hard remembering the names of everyone I meet So pardon me but who are you and am I wrong But are you talking to me? In the problematic art of conversation. So I watch the prince and princesses of prose Pissing in pockets everyday And it only makes me think of oscar wilde And the fickleness of pop, Popularity, If I had a silver tongue I would have sold it long ago While poetry is dandy, There are handier collectables. In the problematic art of conversation.
Now I've said all I wanted to say, Try to sleep, something just won't go away, Not alone, there's a party of ghosts in my bed. These times are so twisted, busted, There's no rhyme nor reason. So I stare at a photo a friend of mine sent From new york, she's finding it hard paying rent, Out of sorts, looks like everybody's feeling the same. The camel's back is bending But it hasn't broken yet. Everything's turning upside down Where will it end? Yes hello hello I see The titanic has sunk again. So I ride to wherever it is I will lay As I read from the book of mercy everyday, Understand where this parade is headed for. Do what you want to do boy, Sleep whenever you can, Everything's turning upside down, Where will it end? Yes hello hello I see The titanic has sunk again.
Hey hey my friend You're upside down again. My my your hair's a mess Now it's anybody's guess. Funny how life can be a desperation. You don't have to go for that. Hey hey my friend, Whose hands are on the wheel. Are they taking you for a ride Or are you just too numb to feel The knives in your back The thorn in your side. You don't have to go for that. There's a school of thought, There's a bull in a china shop, There's a bird in a cage, There's a penny that wants to drop. Is this what you want? Hey hey my friend guess I'll be seeing you round now. When it happens again, When you feel it drag you down, You don't have to swallow it everytime. You don't have to go for that.
