I know what you’re doing’ I see it all too clear
I only taste the saline when I kiss away your tears You really had me going’ wishing on a star But the black holes that surround you are heavies by far I believed in your confusion’ you were so completely torn Well it must have been that yesterday was the day that I was born There’s not much to examine’ there’s nothing left to hide You really can’t be serious if you have to ask me why I say goodbye....goodbye~ Cause I am barely breathing’ And I can’t find the air I don’t know who I’m kidding’ imaging you care And I could stand here waiting’ a fool for another day But I don’t suppose it’s worth the price’ worth the price The price that I would play~ Everyone keeps asking’ what’s it all about" I used to be so certain’ and I can’t figure out What is this attraction" I only feel the pain There’s nothing left to reason and only you to blame Will it ever change" Cause I am barely breathing’ And I can’t find the air I don’t know who I’m kidding’ imaging you care And I could stand here waiting’ a fool for another day But I don’t suppose it’s worth the price’ worth the price The price that I would play~ I’ve come to find’ I may never know Your changing mind’ is it friend or foe" I rise above’ or sink below With every time’ you come and go Please don’t come and go |

I know it's not fashionable
To be this hopeful, well laugh away I didn't think it was possible To be grateful, anyway I know it's not sensible To be this passionate, everyday Days go by I catch myself smile More than you'd ever expect It's been a long while Since it's been o.k. To feel this way In the volumes of history Have you ever seen anything, so pure In the wildest mythology Were the gods and goddesses, ever so in love In your own experience Have you ever known tenderness, like this Days go by I catch myself smile More than you쨈d ever expect It's been a long while Since it's been o.k. To feel this way These are the most precious Of all my days |

Don't get me wrong
I'm feeling ok But when I'm without you It's just not the same Don't misunderstand me I'm feeling alright But when I'm without you The day turns into night...into night You dream of a future...a possible place Where we lie together face to face And i'm looking forward I will not deny I dream of a future made for you and I You and I ...and then I'm with you No longer alone When I'm with you It feels like I'm home And you are with me No longer alone How could it be? It feels like i'm home It feels like i'm home I look through the darkness into the sky The moon up above me brilliantly shines I've never been happier watching it glow I'm here by myself But I know I'm not alone...not alone I look through the brightness into the sky The sun up above me...spitting out fire Call me a child, call me naive The world is much brighter Than it ever used to be ...and then i'm with you No longer alone When I'm with you It feels like i'm home And you are with me No longer alone How could it be? It feels like i'm home It feels like i'm home |

I don't want to feel this way I don't want to say I'm just a friend I don't want to wait around here 'Cos you don't want to feel no pain again We just lie about it As we become shadows of ourselves I don't want to look away I don't want to be the one denied It ain't no fault of mine Someone, somewhere told you lies But we don't talk about it We just become shadows of ourselves |

Some sweet perversion
On the telephone line I've been waiting for such a very long time For her to be free The evening was nice But there were too many people And all my thoughts so depraved and evil Oh lord what would she say (she says) I'm afraid it's not to be You're a sweet guy but you ain't for me I live my life in a different way You know those things you're thinking Are a big mistake We stayed out late 'til morning came I said "I'll take you home If its all the same" Her indifference fills the room Some weak seduction on the morning after How it slays me every time I touch her But she just wants to sleep (she says:) How long 'til you understand The last thing that I need is another man Didn't you promise to give it a rest Right now I need a lover Like a hole, like a hole in the head Oh well, can't blame a guy for tryin' And I'm smiling even though I'm dying To know the love she says will never be One last conversation in the crowded bar And even thought the music is louder by far I hear every word she says (she says) Don't take it bad don't worry about it You're a friend of mine and there's no way around it Sometimes you there early sometimes you get there late But even if you had a chance you never knew the game Little hands, open smile I'm glad we got to talk for a while I feel O.K. yeah I'm feeling better I'll let it go but I'll never say never It's O.K. yeah, it's O.K. |

The past we seek
Some certainly The seasons we remember The light of May, and darkest days The month we call, November To leave behind The wasted time And every bad decision And harder still Some force of will To feel we are forgiven But something stays So who am I to say There's nothing more between us And I don't know the reasons Nothing clear Ive come to no conclusions Said and done Is it all said and done? So here we are Not very far From when we said Forever And all we have This restless past The month we call November |

I may seem out of order Nothing's quite the same now As it ever was before her And you're looking at me With one of those sideways glances You say I'm giving up too much Taking too many chances But I won't believe you now I've got to check this out And nothing you can do Will convince me otherwise You're just trying to be a friend I know the message is well meant But none of it does compare to her eyes Just go easy on me I'm feeling out of order I'm beaten and I'm wounded Like I never was before her And I know you're talking sense But I can't forget about her You say I'm good as dead If I keep it up much longer But I won't believe you now I've got to check this out And nothing you can say Will convince me otherwise You're just trying to be a friend I know the message is well meant But none of it does compare to her eyes It may be unwise You may be right I don't mind I just came by It may be unwise You may be right But I don't mind I just came by |

Everyone hides Everyone's telling, but everyone lies They're changing the subject They're turning away Away from the heart of it all You say you are happy, That you think this is fun But it's only a firefly to the light of the sun You say this is living You feel so alive, Well, you know, everything dies (chorus) Even my wonder Even my fear Only amount to a couple of tears There is a rhythm It's near and it's far It flows through the heart of us Welcome to another day It don't seem that different 'cuz nothing has changed Try to remember Try to remember When weren't just running in place Reasons for living Never come cheap And even your best ones can put me to sleep What I am saying, Trying to say Is that there must be a better way (repeat chorus) It's already in you It's already there You may disagree, but I don't really care Did you ever find out, You ever find out What's at the heart of us? Did you ever find out, You ever find out What's at the heart? Tell me all your wildest dreams I don't really care you don't know what they mean Raiding the closets The skeleton keys You know, it's easier than you think (repeat chorus) Your reasons for living Are all very fine They're leaving me cold, though they're not really mine Did you ever find out, Did you ever find out What's at the heart of us?

So what, life's rough
You should get over yourself Like everyone else and enjoy The girls and the boys And everything in between Serena, in an effort to aviod The things that annoy you You hide-far, far away And life just passes you by Theme (Serena) x 1 Are you gonna give up Are you gonna give out Ain't that a shame You've got no one to blame But your conscience If it doesn't make sense I know that only to well So tell me Did it happen one day When the day that you faced Wasn't happening It just didn't bring Anything more Anything more than despair Theme (Serena) x 2 Do you remember, the morning would come And just like a child filled with the sun And the hours never seemed long Where have those days gone? Beyond us... Or so you would believe But I can't agree, those illusions Will you ever get through them And find the diamond, Find the diamond inside Theme (Serena) x ad inf |

You may not see the end of it
But luckily she comes around It isn't what she talks about It's just the way she is [Chorus] (and she says) Oh darlin' don't you know The darkness comes and the darkness goes Oh babe why don't you let it go? Happiness ain't never how you think it should be so I mystified the simple life I covered up with consciousness I saw myself and broke it down 'Til nothing more was left She saw the symptoms right away And spoke to me in poetry "Sometimes the more you wonder why The worse it seems to get" [Chorus] But she runs away She runs away And then you know there comes a time You need her more than anything You may believe yours are the wounds That only she can heal Then everything will turn around And she becomes so serious What she chose to offer you Was all that you could have [Chorus] But she runs away She runs away [Repeat: x3] |

Should I say I'm sorry
For what I'm going to say I guess it's way beyond me To sleep with yesterday I want to see my future I want to know my past The everlasting present Is that so much to ask? Does it make you wonder what's at the end of the outside They say there's other vision Deeper than the light Maybe they 're just voices Coming from my mind A hundred million faces Enlightened or afraid What is going to save us From all uncertain fate Does it make you wonder what's at the end of the outside I want to feel closer now to the stars in the sky Tell me, sweetly, give me The love of everyday Human nature I don't remember how to feel that way Anyway... Dropped inside the ocean Covered by the sands of the time Walk me through the seasons Of every single life Does it make you wonder what's at the end of the outside I want to feel closer now to the stars in the sky... |

There is a swan-white curtain,
Somewhere within the sky. It's known of every sermon, Every anguished cry - The howls of hopeless people, Frightened and alone. There is a spotless silver mirror That hangs within the moon. It's witness every winter, The cities charred and ruined - The herds of homeless people Filling all the roads... Some may pray to their mirrors, Some may kneel before the sun. Me, I say there's a mirro In the heart of everyone. Bullets paint the blue distance. The mirror's stained from every gun. Still, I say that it glistens In the heart of everyone. And there are golden whispers Within the afternoon. They've held the brothers, sister... Felt the mothers' wounds. The broken-hearted people, Burying thei own... Some may pray to their mirrors, Some may kneel before the sun. Me, I say there's a mirro In the heart of everyone. Strike the bell, and we listen. Light the candle, and we're shown. The gods themselves throwing incense, As all the world begins to glow... Such a flame, such a mirror, In the heart of everyone. Such a flame, such a mirror, In the heart of everyone... |

If, again, you wander,
If, too soon again, you wander Far away, far away... Let this, too, be with you, An old tune somewhere within you Far away, far away... Falling through the autumn evening, Every darkened street. Calling to forgotten feeling, The passing ghosts and scattered leaves. If, again, you love him, If, too soon again, you love him Far away, far away... Let this, too, be with him, Humming smoothly when you kiss him Far away, far away... Haunting all the talk, and stalling Every hope of sleep. Calling to some distant longing, Another soul within your sheets... If, some day, you love me, If, in truth, some day, you love me, Far away, far away... Let the words within you Whisper to you how I miss you, Far away, far away... For if, some day, I wander, Then, too soon, I too will wander Far away, far away... Far away...Far away...Far away... Calling to you heart, and stealing All the want away... |

Simeon, he was a man
Held his heart out in his hand A hollow land of autumn breeze Evenings in the brittle rain Leaves that fill the barren plain With simple pain embroideries In the temple yesterday Was a man, who came to pray Who couldn't stay and couldn't leave So, he feel down on his knees Sued for grace and sued for peace A little ease, and not to grieve Marion, she met a man Took her to Jerusalem To take a stand, escape a scene To wander in the honey sea Drink the milk of Memory And never be herself again In the temple yesterday Was a woman came to pray Who couldn't say, and couldn't see So, she fell down on her knees Sued for grace and sued for peace Sued the priest to set her free Lo, lo and behold Lo, lo and behold |

Where the eased desire? In some fool's dream? In the ending hour? Brought my voice, just noise to poor old Silence A clanging toy, a clanging toy Empty, strident Brought my eyes, in utter ruin, sightless The tears I cried, the tears I cried Still so frightened Brought my heart to feed, but my mouth was fire Brought the earth my seed, but it would not flower Where the jeweled stream? Where the eased desire? In some fool's dream? In the ending hour? Where the silver streets? Where the blossoming? Where sounds so sweet? Where songs of spring? Where words for things? Where golden memories? Where quiet seas? Where certainty? Where all might cease, the talk, the want, the posturing? Brought my heart to feed, but my mouth was fire Brought the earth my seed, but it would not flower Where the jeweled stream? Where the eased desire? In some fool's dream? In the ending hour?

You see, I dream of many things Of floating, solitary kings Of pawns and people with Blue sequins through their hair A jester sings The bishop brings the queen A hollow following... And all the pawns And people stop And people stare So, I, too, stop At 3 o'clock I stumble to your door and knock And ask to see you And ask to be you Mr. Chess.. Oh, Mr. Chess.. Now I beseech you, Mr. Chess To let me sleep, to let me rest To let me dream To let me sing without a care And I will dream you things so fair I sing your castles in the air And I will sleep, too I will sleep, too I will rest...

And there were mermaids, weren't there?
Sweet, silver mermaids All through that gray Trafalgar square Such silver mermaids And they were young and they were fair They brushed their bronze and dusky hair And whispered, "Come, sad Stephen Come and play here" "You will love, you will be loved You will grow up and do so much You will be strong, you will be sung By all the mermaids, silver mermaids" And once they'd sung their satin song They beckoned to me from the fog They spread their arms and lifted Pale portrait faces, I was taken To their coral cavern halls To rooms with oyster shells for walls To sandy nooks, pearly books and ivory dolls In ivory stalls, in ivory stalls And there were mermaids, weren't there? Sweet, silver mermaids All through that wan, forgotten square Silver mermaids They were young and they were fair And they brushed their bronze and dusky hair And whispered, "Come, sad Stephen, come" And I was taken Was I wrong? Should I have run? I wanted all, I wanted young And portrait faces, I was taken Did I love? I didn't care Did I grow up? Well, unaware And was I strong? And was I sung? How do I haunt Trafalgar fog? And find I want so much, still want And no more mermaids No more mermaids And no more mermaids |

All the shadows blue
In the winter moon Stars within the darkness. They remember you And they sorrow too With all the winds that blow. Every book you'd read In my evening breeze Stars shown in the darkness. Still it waits to see Will you turn in sleeves With all the winds that blow See the window too, That once you looked through, Out on the stars, the darkness. It remembers you in this empty room, With all the winds so cold. And that phantom moon Is a window too, Stars look through the darkness, To some summer moon Where our ghosts still move Among the winds that blow. Were my soul and my silence, Were my hope, my lightness. Were the sword at my side Through all the winds that blow. Now the children play Through these shorter days 'Til stars show through the darkness. Now the young men stray, nobody waves Among the winds that blow. All the shadows blue In the winter moon. Stars within the darkness. They'll remember you, They will sorrow too. And all the winds will blow. All the winds will blow. All the winds will blow. All the winds will blow.

This is how my heart heard
That little thing in tears they call the truth - It said, Be done with her, she's done with you. This is how my heart heard. This is how my arms burn, That used to hold her tight until the dawn. And now they weep to find that she is gone. This is how my heart heard. I forgot the taste of fears And how they haunt the lips you're kissing; And how the sould can waste its tears On someone who is missing. And how I shed such tears but never cry, This is how I want her, And how I kiss her lips and taste good-bye. This is how I want her. (Instrumental) I forgot the taste of tears And how they haunt the lips you're kisisng; And how love's just a waste of tears On someone who is missing. This is how I want her. And how I shed such tears but never cry. And how I tasted lips that kissed good-bye. This is how my heart heard. This is how my heart heard. This is how my heart heard.

Clearly I'm a genius
If she only knew it But somewhere in her radius I really blew it I know, I know what I said to her And I know what I did What I don't know is how I could ever be So incredibly stupid [Chorus] (you don't really need to know every last detail. Its hardly worth telling Suffice to say I said that I would be there I never came through) Maybe I'm a genius and She just don't see it I fronted, I should have admitted, She saw right through it I never thought that I could be So underhanded. Somehow I've cornered the market on The double standard [Chorus] For this act of genius And so many others I know I should apologize And see how it goes What am I waiting for? Come on, come on, come on, come on To all of the geniuses [Chorus] |

I awake to find the devil
sitting near my bed. we have a conversation ...........he says: Good Morning Mr. Cut-throat these are most exciting times we are surrounded by fools and crooks, strangers that give us dirty looks, so many different people to despise it's tearing you apart / you haven't got the heart I don't mean to complain, but it seems a little strange good evening Mr. Turncoat! well done! you've been watching the so-called news (and now yo see it) that no news is good news, we don't want to confuse the popular pursuit of absolute truth and who has time for such remote endeavors you wanna disappear, how did you end up here? I don't mean to complain but it seems a little strange take me to your leader I sure could use a laugh (I hear) he's made a new birdfeeder and he sleeps in a birdbath who needs to join the circus come on, just look around we are surrounded by a bunch of f**king clowns! they sing la la la la la la la la they all sing la la la la la la la we all sing la la la la la la la la everybody sing, la la la la la la la la its tearing you apart / you haven't got the heart you sit there and complain, it seems a little lame. good morning, Mr. Misanthrope I sure do hope you remember our terms |

I'm threading through the evening
It's later than I thought A friend of mine is waiting For cigarettes I brought She smiles, she seems so tired So nothing is required I reach into my pocket Some things she left behind Nothing really happens In ways I can't define Loose talk of hearts and heads Of sleep in other beds It's better left unsaid She says that she is cold I wish that I could hold But no How can you hold a soul? You just can't hold a soul That shines like gold She shines like gold I will, I won't, I would I've said more than I should She leaves, she goes uptown She may not come back down She may not come back down She may not turn around She may not make a sound She may not come back down |

One day maybe
When I grow up A son you will have found When I change my ways One of these days I know I'll make you proud What I never say Because of busy days Is all I want for you I'm just not the best At being friends But that's what we should do When I see you happy, When you laugh I'm never sad Fantastic toys And corduroys Everything you gave Took me to school I tried to be cool And you let me get away with it What I want to say A thing I pray For you to shine inside The fighting words How they sound absurd when it's you who gave me life When I see you happy When you laugh I'm never sad I don't want to be sad And you shouldn't be sad We shouldn't be sad What I never say Because of busy days Is all I want for you I want to love Like a mother's son To always see you through When I see you happy When you laugh I'm never sad We shouldn't be sad |

Hey Casanova
You don't look too good But I know times are tough You never found your paradise Like you said you would And it's all catching up It may be that will never change You may never come to your promised land And it's a gray morning With all you have Still you turn your back You're given every chance How can you ask for more than that? But still you have to ask Hey tragic hero Did you get passed by? Well what do all those heathens know... Have a seat, a cup of wine And have a good cry And then it's time to go 'Cause you're living up to your own worst cases You're looking for hope in some pretty strange places And that's a grey mourning With all you have Still you turn your back You're given every chance How can you ask for more than that? But still you have to ask I really need for you to ask With all you have to ask Still you're turning Turning With all you have Still you're turning Turning Hey you lone ranger, Is it cold tonight So far beneath the stars Maybe the desert will do you good |

All the sheltering sky All this earth and she and I Wait until it happens Wait, the moment will come Wait, but all those are already one And she asks me How many sunrises Will we watch from start to finish How many will we witness? And my answers Are only ever surmises Maybe a handful of times ...Before the next life Here, we stop beneath the leaves Here, a moment to stay Here, a gift of pale green color Here above her And she asks me How many sunrises Will we watch from start to finish How many will we witness? And my answers Are only ever surmises Maybe a handful of times ...Before the next life A kiss, prayer, a laugh, a song She won't try to tell me what's right from wrong A song, a laugh, a prayer, a kiss She won't try to tell me I need more than this All my answers And all my surmises Will never do it justice She'll just have to trust it We'll wait here Until the sun rises We'll watch from start to finish With no one as our witness |

Turning the wheel to emptiness
They're when you breathe your final breath No one will hold you anymore Haven't they told you baby, You're always alive Always alive Leaving the plane of time and space Leaving the mask of every face Just like the Sun and every ray Might as well smile 'cause baby We all die one day We all die one day Not square, not round The silence in the sound Not short, not long The quiet in the song (It carries you along) Some of the people here believe Reading a book of prophesies Some of you sigh and turn away Nobody knows, so what's the play? You're here now You're here for now And what does it matter anyway Whatever I sing or what you say Taking a chance we place a bet But it ain't gonna get you to black or red This time around This time around No cause, no condition Who knows your position? Not you, no other What will you discover? You never disappear So tell me why you fear Neither are you born Sometimes still you mourn Never do you arise, You're never low or high No one acts, no one is made Nothing glows, nothing fades Nothing fades......... |

So you wrote me a letter which I thought was really kind
I don't recall which song it was but there was one you really liked And you asked me, so innocently, of my inspiration Why I write the songs I sing, the reasons why I make them Well nothing here is what it seems I'll risk the wreckage of your dreams It's so that you are always shopping To steal away the cash your dropping Listen to me when I say Your fantasies are built to fade So there you are, you're always shopping Don't even try, there is no stopping Don't misunderstand me, it always makes me smile When I can serenade you as you're rollin' down the aisles On this journey of your souls desires, the paradise of goods You're doing just exactly what I think you should Well nothing here is what it seems I'll risk the wreckage of your dreams It's so that you are always shopping So while you roll you're really rocking Listen to me when I say Your fantasies are built to fade So there you are, you're always wanting What you don't have is always haunting There's still one thing I have to say - my confession's not complete I've made is sound as if all this has nothing to do with me There surely is not anything further from the truth When I have pretty things to gain and only useless things to loose I wish there were another way But I must keep the wolves at bay I hope that you don't find it shocking Rock and Roll is built on shopping If you're searching for my soul Come check out my chains of gold Grab your purse and let's go shopping For lingerie and silky stockings Lets go shopping together So that we can find ourselves So that we can buy ourselves Let's go shopping together 'Cause We are always by ourselves 'Cause We are always by ourselves Lets go shopping together So that we can find ourselves |

Over and over again Up on the horse was a weak, foolish child Who never believed it would end How many smokes 'til I'm satisfied How many drinks 'til I'm happy How much of the day will I watch fade away until there is no one to ask me I was gone, so gone Gone, so gone For a while How many times will I sleep by your side Turning and dreaming and scared Of fair grounds that shut down as you ride away And my horse won't go anywhere I was gone, so gone Gone, so gone For a while I was wrong, so wrong Wrong, so wrong For a while How many songs will I try to write All with the same thing to say I've got two tickets left, won't you please stay with me For the very last ride of the day |

Break through, heal me Sing to me Kneel beside my bed My weary head in your embrace Wake up, sunrise I may be alone but I'm alive And I will find a way to you Sunrise, you saved me this time You never even had to try And you opened up my eyes Sunrise, you treat me so kind I was lost, I was blind And you opened up my eyes |

I know what you’re doing’ I see it all too clear
I only taste the saline when I kiss away your tears You really had me going’ wishing on a star But the black holes that surround you are heavies by far I believed in your confusion’ you were so completely torn Well it must have been that yesterday was the day that I was born There’s not much to examine’ there’s nothing left to hide You really can’t be serious if you have to ask me why I say goodbye....goodbye~ Cause I am barely breathing’ And I can’t find the air I don’t know who I’m kidding’ imaging you care And I could stand here waiting’ a fool for another day But I don’t suppose it’s worth the price’ worth the price The price that I would play~ Everyone keeps asking’ what’s it all about" I used to be so certain’ and I can’t figure out What is this attraction" I only feel the pain There’s nothing left to reason and only you to blame Will it ever change" Cause I am barely breathing’ And I can’t find the air I don’t know who I’m kidding’ imaging you care And I could stand here waiting’ a fool for another day But I don’t suppose it’s worth the price’ worth the price The price that I would play~ I’ve come to find’ I may never know Your changing mind’ is it friend or foe" I rise above’ or sink below With every time’ you come and go Please don’t come and go |

I know it's not fashionable
To be this hopeful, well laugh away I didn't think it was possible To be grateful, anyway I know it's not sensible To be this passionate, everyday Days go by I catch myself smile More than you'd ever expect It's been a long while Since it's been o.k. To feel this way In the volumes of history Have you ever seen anything, so pure In the wildest mythology Were the gods and goddesses, ever so in love In your own experience Have you ever known tenderness, like this Days go by I catch myself smile More than you쨈d ever expect It's been a long while Since it's been o.k. To feel this way These are the most precious Of all my days |

Faded longing
Tired of wanting Can't explain the fear that's haunting you Should I go on? I may be wrong So wrong Hear me calling from Eagle Mountain One of millions of suns Perfect nature Deepest wisdom Lies within everyone Everyone And everywhere the brilliant horizon Some say sacred Some profane There are no distinctions Then again, yes, I may be wrong But it feels right So right Hear me calling from Eagle Mountain One of millions of suns Perfect nature Deepest wisdom Lies within everyone Everyone And everywhere the brilliant horizon Cause everywhere lies within everyone |

The past we seek
Some certainly The seasons we remember The light of May, and darkest days The month we call, November To leave behind The wasted time And every bad decision And harder still Some force of will To feel we are forgiven But something stays So who am I to say There's nothing more between us And I don't know the reasons Nothing clear Ive come to no conclusions Said and done Is it all said and done? So here we are Not very far From when we said Forever And all we have This restless past The month we call November |

Everyone's looking
Everyone hides Everyone's telling, but everyone lies They're changing the subject They're turning away Away from the heart of it all You say you are happy, That you think this is fun But it's only a firefly to the light of the sun You say this is living You feel so alive, Well, you know, everything dies (chorus) Even my wonder Even my fear Only amount to a couple of tears There is a rhythm It's near and it's far It flows through the heart of us Welcome to another day It don't seem that different 'cuz nothing has changed Try to remember Try to remember When weren't just running in place Reasons for living Never come cheap And even your best ones can put me to sleep What I am saying, Trying to say Is that there must be a better way (repeat chorus) It's already in you It's already there You may disagree, but I don't really care Did you ever find out, You ever find out What's at the heart of us? Did you ever find out, You ever find out What's at the heart? Tell me all your wildest dreams I don't really care you don't know what they mean Raiding the closets The skeleton keys You know, it's easier than you think (repeat chorus) Your reasons for living Are all very fine They're leaving me cold, though they're not really mine Did you ever find out, Did you ever find out What's at the heart of us? I don't know I don't know, oh, oh |

Once in a while a man comes along
Even his failures were favorite songs Oh to have made something so unsurpassed As certain things fall away some certain things last A body goes down in the Mississippi waters Weighted by a beauty, afraid of its light Notify your holy men, console your sons and daughters And tell me one more time, what is just, what is right Chances are good we spread blasphemous lies Safe to say nobody knew what was inside Of course there is grace and those halos of pain Maybe he sang what he came here to sing A body goes down in the Mississippi waters Weighted by a beauty, afraid of its light Notify your holy men, console your sons and daughters And tell me one more time, what is just, what is right Speed on to the next world, speed on to the next life Better I'm sure by far Orpheus driven, treasures given Heal the most broken of hearts Speed on, speed on, speed on |

Such an annoying conversation
I'm sorry but I'm tired of trying To be some picture of compassion And anyway it sounds like I'm lying And yes I've heard the world has conspired To steal away your god-given right To a happy home and comfortable children Next you'll sue them for abandoning you! [Chorus] So bite your tongue You're not the only one Who's been let down Bite your tongue Maybe it's good for you To hit the ground Oh, Christ it's gonna sound like I'm agreeing With the most ultra-boring ideas Of pop psychological western gurus Who haven't gotten lucky in years And so you see I have no intention Of giving you the easy way out Yes I'll smile as I burn the self-help section Of my local bookstore! [Chorus] Blame the shapes and blame the angles Blame it on your own dark planes If you blame on something other, The victim's song remains, Remains [Chorus] |

Born Scorpio boy
Chased by storms Always safe Rush out of bed Tornado is dead In its wake, sunlight The land in uproot Taken down south To a hurricane town Fallen down bombs Wishing for snowbound home Robbed by time The shadows of birds Fortune's won and lost And still, I'm wandering Wandering Wandering |

Maybe I'll just whisper
Neither humble neither proud Listen if you care to But I will not sing too loud No, not tonight Just before I'm over and out I wanna sing of better times I wanna sing of hope We've heard those empty promises Sound like such a joke And so I stumble So hard to say, so difficult Sometimes I am not able To separate my dreams from false cliches [Chorus:] But the more and more I hear it I feel the spirit rise The people here are talking 'bout The oneness of our lives Maybe I will turn away, maybe you will run It just maybe a foreshadowing Of what's to come So anything can happen, I don't believe in fate I won't try to convince you 'Cause it's getting kind of late There it is. Just before I'm over and out My parting shot-just to say you hold the reins [Chorus:] And will you struggle To realize this earthly paradise Isn't so far above us? So put away those poisonous ideas You know it's just ideas They're the only...enemies 'round here I see your eyes are closing Didn't mean to keep you up There's more that I could say now But I guess I've said enough So sleep well Just before I'm over and out Yes, sleep well, just before I'm over and out The more and more I hear it I feel the spirit rise The people here are talking about The oneness of all life Maybe I will turn away, maybe you will run But it just may be A foreshadowing of what's to come |

Clearly I'm a genius
If she only knew it But somewhere in her radius I really blew it I know, I know what I said to her And I know what I did What I don't know is how I could ever be So incredibly stupid [Chorus] (you don't really need to know every last detail. Its hardly worth telling Suffice to say I said that I would be there I never came through) Maybe I'm a genius and She just don't see it I fronted, I should have admitted, She saw right through it I never thought that I could be So underhanded. Somehow I've cornered the market on The double standard [Chorus] For this act of genius And so many others I know I should apologize And see how it goes What am I waiting for? Come on, come on, come on, come on To all of the geniuses [Chorus] |

I'm awake in the afternoon
I fell asleep in the living room and it's one of those moments when everything is so clear before the truth goes back into hiding I want to decide 'cause it's worth deciding to work on finding something more than this fear It takes so much out of me to pretend tell me now, tell me how to make amends maybe, I need to see the daylight to leave behind this half-life don't you see I'm breaking down lately, something here don't feel right this is just a half-life is there really no escape? no escape from time of any kind I keep trying to understand this thing and that thing, my fellow man I guess I'll let you know when i figure it out but I don't mind a few mysteries they can stay that way it's fine by me and you are another mystery i am missing It takes so much out of me to pretend maybe, I need to see the daylight to leave behind this half-life don't you see I'm breaking down Lately, something here don't feel right this is just a half-life is there really no escape? no escape from time of any kind come on lets fall in love come on lets fall in love come on lets fall in love again 'cause lately something here don't feel right this is just a half-life, without you I am breaking down wake me, let me see the daylight save me from this half-life let's you and I escape escape from time come on lets fall in love come on lets fall in love come on lets fall in love again |

I'm feeling ok But when I'm without you It's just not the same Don't misunderstand me I'm feeling alright But when I'm without you The day turns into night...into night You dream of a future...a possible place Where we lie together face to face And i'm looking forward I will not deny I dream of a future made for you and I You and I ...and then I'm with you No longer alone When I'm with you It feels like I'm home And you are with me No longer alone How could it be? It feels like i'm home It feels like i'm home I look through the darkness into the sky The moon up above me brilliantly shines I've never been happier watching it glow I'm here by myself But I know I'm not alone...not alone I look through the brightness into the sky The sun up above me...spitting out fire Call me a child, call me naive The world is much brighter Than it ever used to be ...and then i'm with you No longer alone When I'm with you It feels like i'm home And you are with me No longer alone How could it be?

Hold the light up to me
Get underneath my skin I feel a little undefined But I want to let you in And I listen to the messages The endless train of thought But now it feels like I'm returning Most everything I've bought Some say, it's all coming to an end Some fool themselves with thoughts of new beginnings It makes me wonder what they believe Cause we're in between Sometimes it's just better to get on with it Sometimes lord knows you gotta get off There's no use holding on to what I mean Cause I'm in between, no use wondering what I mean Saints and sinners, losers, winners Masters and their slaves The more you hide one or the other The earlier your grave The triumph and the tragedy The endless bright parade I know that most of us are innocent But some should be afraid 'Cause they say we're all coming to an end They fool themselves with thoughts of new beginnings Well I don't buy it, it's just too clean Cause we're in between Sometimes it's just better to get on with it Sometimes lord knows you gotta get off No use holding on to what I mean Cause I'm in between No use wondering what I mean Cause I'm in between Are you still wondering what I mean Hold the light up to me, get underneath my skin Humming like the wind I feel a little undefined, I'm sorry if I seem, So in between It's so much better when you run your fingers through my hair Humming like the air I wish that I could hold you, I'm sorry if I seem So in between |

Some sweet perversion
On the telephone line I've been waiting for such a very long time For her to be free The evening was nice But there were too many people And all my thoughts so depraved and evil Oh lord what would she say (she says) I'm afraid it's not to be You're a sweet guy but you ain't for me I live my life in a different way You know those things you're thinking Are a big mistake We stayed out late 'til morning came I said "I'll take you home If its all the same" Her indifference fills the room Some weak seduction on the morning after How it slays me every time I touch her But she just wants to sleep (she says:) How long 'til you understand The last thing that I need is another man Didn't you promise to give it a rest Right now I need a lover Like a hole, like a hole in the head Oh well, can't blame a guy for tryin' And I'm smiling even though I'm dying To know the love she says will never be One last conversation in the crowded bar And even thought the music is louder by far I hear every word she says (she says) Don't take it bad don't worry about it You're a friend of mine and there's no way around it Sometimes you there early sometimes you get there late But even if you had a chance you never knew the game Little hands, open smile I'm glad we got to talk for a while I feel O.K. yeah I'm feeling better I'll let it go but I'll never say never It's O.K. yeah, it's O.K. |

Simeon, he was a man
Held his heart out in his hand A hollow land of autumn breeze Evenings in the brittle rain Leaves that fill the barren plain With simple pain embroideries In the temple yesterday Was a man, who came to pray Who couldn't stay and couldn't leave So, he feel down on his knees Sued for grace and sued for peace A little ease, and not to grieve Marion, she met a man Took her to Jerusalem To take a stand, escape a scene To wander in the honey sea Drink the milk of Memory And never be herself again In the temple yesterday Was a woman came to pray Who couldn't say, and couldn't see So, she fell down on her knees Sued for grace and sued for peace Sued the priest to set her free Lo, lo and behold Lo, lo and behold |

Oh so cold
Evening grey consumed in dark No more day to hold me sounds won't stay to play their part Only what strangers told me Why is the ghost who listens So cold and so alone Wind, tell her lightly All that we might be While I sit, nightly Watching the shadows drifting down Twilight descends so blue, so brown And longing begins in this longing town When the haze falls through my heart When its arms enfold me O, my song won't go that far I can't sing how lonely Home is a note of distance, a word for gone Wind, tell her lightly All that we might be While I sit, nightly Watching the shadows drifting down Twilight descends so blue, so brown And longing begins in this longing town O, so cold No one home All of the notes, a word for gone |

Here the world is desert gray
Never do I see the day Here there is different light There's only night, only night Just a trace of gravity Nothing to hold on to me Sometimes there are passing ships Away they slip, away they slip If you hear me let me know And away we go I walk across the rocky ground And hear the stars with timely sound Here there is no atmosphere You are not here, you are not here Somewhere above, fears and heights, and satellites [Chorus] Without you I'm lost on the moon! Without you I'm lost on the moon! Without you How I dream of sweet return To fall so fast and feel the burn Confetti flies, the grass band plays, a small parade, a small parade [Chorus] |

I'm threading through the evening
It's later than I thought A friend of mine is waiting For cigarettes I brought She smiles, she seems so tired So nothing is required I reach into my pocket Some things she left behind Nothing really happens In ways I can't define Loose talk of hearts and heads Of sleep in other beds It's better left unsaid She says that she is cold I wish that I could hold But no How can you hold a soul? You just can't hold a soul That shines like gold She shines like gold I will, I won't, I would I've said more than I should She leaves, she goes uptown She may not come back down She may not come back down She may not turn around She may not make a sound She may not come back down |

And there, the bones do sleep
And there the soul is soul And there the gods do weep When the angels fall But here the thoughts won't keep And here the blood runs cold And here the grave is deep And the devil calls Brought my heart to feed, but my mouth was fire Brought the earth my seed, but it would not flower Where the jeweled stream? Where the eased desire? In some fool's dream? In the ending hour? Brought my voice, just noise to poor old Silence A clanging toy, a clanging toy Empty, strident Brought my eyes, in utter ruin, sightless The tears I cried, the tears I cried Still so frightened Brought my heart to feed, but my mouth was fire Brought the earth my seed, but it would not flower Where the jeweled stream? Where the eased desire? In some fool's dream? In the ending hour? Where the silver streets? Where the blossoming? Where sounds so sweet? Where songs of spring? Where words for things? Where golden memories? Where quiet seas? Where certainty? Where all might cease, the talk, the want, the posturing? Brought my heart to feed, but my mouth was fire Brought the earth my seed, but it would not flower Where the jeweled stream? Where the eased desire? In some fool's dream? In the ending hour? Where poetry? Where mystic harmonies? Where love that frees? Where security? Where sympathy? Where tranquility? Where rest in peace? In the dream? Or in the fire? Mouth on fire Mouth on fire |
