[These are the original lyrics - the Et's cover of the song
features some changes and a brand new chorus... I have all the info I need, will update this following the u nmothballing of thr site...] So here am I quite by chance near the phone I could call and make you crawl into bed Questions always questions I'll just speak in slow motion About obsessions with boys on the floor Take that smile off your face Wipe that tear from your eye Don't say you're sorry for me Now look at me like a stormtrooper in drag And i'll let you feel exactly like I do It's so disgusting I'm so tired of rhythm And needles in arms I don't want your point of view Nothing to do Nothing to do steal And there's nothing to say Love it Love it I need to |

This is nostalgia
And only the hero Fights for me and you dear listener You leave old memories And such things disgust me Storm the door, I must get out Poetry and power Ice and fire This is poetry and power Poetry and power Ice and fire This is poetry and power You're worse than mirrors Are you reflecting I don't know All this help leaves me cold This is confusing me again I must get out Poetry and Power Ice and Fire This is poetry and power Ice and Fire This is poetry and power Your poetry is power Your ice becomes fire All things disgust you And you are the listener A hero dies for me I must get out This is poetry and power Your poetry is power Your ice becomes fire This is poetry and power Your poetry is power Your ice becomes fire This is poetry and power Your poetry is power Your ice becomes fire This is poetry and power This is poetry and power This is poetry and power |

It's cold outside
And the paint's peeling off of my walls There's a man outside In a long coat, grey hat, smoking a cigarette And now the light fades out And I wonder what I'm doing in a room like this And there's a knock on the door And just for a second I thought I remembered you So now I'm alone And now I can think for myself About little deals And S.U's And things I just don't understand A white lie that night Or a sly touch at times I don't think it meant anything to you So I open the door It's the 'friend' that I'd left in the hallway 'Please sit down' A candlelit shadow on a wall near the bed You know I hate to ask But are 'friends' electric? Only mine's broke down And now I've no-one to love So I found out your reasons For the phone calls and smiles And it hurts And I'm lonely And I should never have tried And I missed you tonight It must be time to leave You see it meant everything to me Now the light fades out And I wonder what I'm doing in a room like this It's cold outside And the paint's peeling off of my walls You know I hate to ask But are 'friends' electric? Only mine's broke down And now I've no-one to love |

The problems of need
I need you Sleepless nights in Rusty beds No one came here Tonight I pulled on me I needed to I unstick pages and read I look at pictures of you I smell the lust in my hands Everyday I die Your favorite trick Was to touch me inside Oh so very Art nouveau Completely false Feelings of love I don't Someone died here But that was years ago I unstick pages and read I look at pictures of you I smell the lust in my hands Everyday I die I unstick pages and read I look at pictures of you I smell the lust in my hands Everyday I die |

I will swim across ocean just to talk with you
I will climb on tall mountains just to look at you I give my soul to the devil if you ask me to I will walk out of heaven just to be with you This is absolute This is absolution I will be a disciple and I'd worship you There's no prophets or reason light the sky for you Give the children of Eden if you want me to Close the bad eyes of fortune meant if they offended you This is absolute This is absolution |

It was hard to avoid
I suppose it was the shame But they didn't even try You see we'd never met and they didn't have names There was nothing I could do So I turned on the crowd And I screamed 'you and you' 'It could have been you And they seemed to think That I looked that way Or maybe I was wrong So I said... Do you know Mr. Wall? and they looked the other way and then they smiled at me But the police came And I said it was me And I just walked away |

from Dark City (다크 시티) by Trevor Jones [ost] (1998)
I've been waiting here
Waiting for faith and the word to fall Now the darkness comes And I'll pray for the end of us all Don't let the dark into me We killed the angels that warned us of you Don't let the dark into me We raised the tower of Babel for you Don't let the dark into me We let the children build temples for you Don't let the dark into me Don't let the vengeance of Heaven be you So pray to me, I'm the Lord's new disease Look down into the faces of God Bow down and cry, I'm the black Messiah The one true divinity I kneel before my altar and drink the wine of slaughter Who said I'd save anyone? So bleed for me, I need hostility To lead the faithful and the blind Don't let the light shine on me I am the poison that feeds life to you Don't let the light shine on me I am the demon that waits inside you Don't let the light shine on me I am the ghost that reminds death of you Don't let the light shine on me I am the darkness that crawls into you |

So I've seen my future
And I've seen dream killers And I've seen you everytime. So I've heard opinions And I've heard dark rumours And I've heard you everytime. You hurt my feelings You hurt my family You hurt my reasons to try I can't forgive you I will remember I'll pay you back one cold day. So I've seen my weakness And I've seen my heart break And I've seen you everytime. So I've heard promises And I've heard every lie And I've heard you everytime. You lied to father You lied to mother You lied to brother and me I used to dream, now I forget how to So should I learn how to lie? You take my picture You take my ghosts and laugh You take my reason You take my soul away. You take my heartbeat You take my innocence You take my dreams and You'll take my life away. So now I'm old news And you would change me But I'm so tired of this There is no comfort In fame when it dies And I'm so tired of it.

'Bout a friend of mine Woke up in this room Looked like... black and white movies No light And someone strange in the bed She said You could be here forever Can you feel me? I'm the new disease I'm like a hunger That you've never known Do you want me? I'll take everything I'm like a hunger Lying in your heart He made excuses Tried to leave the room She said I'm the disease and the cure Skin mechanics couldn't help you here The nature of need Leaves you junk sick and lonely Can you feel me? I'm the new disease I'm like a hunger That you've never known Do you want me? I'll take everything I'm like a hunger Lying in your heart Trick it up Trick it up good Trick it up Trick it up good Can you feel me? I'm the new disease I'm like a hunger That you've never known She moved Like a ghost to the door She said This is a re-al love story I heard his voice And walked in on it all She said You could be here forever Can you feel me?

Where the machmen Meet the machines And play 'Kill by numbers' Down in the park With a friend called 'Five' I was in a car crash Or was it the war But I've never been Quite the same Little white lies Like 'I was there' Come to 'Zom Zoms' A place to eat Like it was built In one day You can watch the humans Trying to run Oh look There's a rape machine I'd go outside If he'd look the other way You wouldn't believe The things they do Down in the park Where the chant is 'Death, death, death' Until the sun cries morning Down in the park With friends of mine We are not lovers We are not romantics 'We are here to serve you' A different face But the words never change |

I've read the papers
Look at this They say that I'm all over I don't know They're not the first ones to try So try Again What's the fashion? Is it good? I'll need some convincing If you've got it Then I've seen it before So try Again Welcome to new anger Do you want it? Do you want it? I don't need it I can stop I can take this or leave it You can have it But if you want it from me Then come And try I've been bad I've been good I've been one more hero I've been up And I've been lower than you So come And try If you want it Come and get it |

I need it
The sex skin habit You could just crawl out And forget I'm here I need it Love and something I'd just as soon forget So keep it out the papers I need it 'The sex musicians' I'll show you 'something' While the boys beat time I need it And she's still waiting We like to wake up In a strange bed romance One more time for me You are the young things fed on garbage and lies Please one more time for me You are the young things fed on garbage and lies I'm talking far too much about my shame I need it Creatures calling I'll tear my heart out But I need some more I need it I'm under pressure I don't remember If her story's true GARY NUMAN Keyboards, Vocals MIKE SMITH Keyboards TRACEY ACKERMAN Vocals TESSA NILES Vocals |

I'm a hero in a book
I'm a picture on your wall I'm on the TV I'm arrogant, seen it all I'm a distraction Like a hideous new disease I'm in the papers But that's not really me Young heart Give me something I can do I'm a decision I'm a morning filled with shame I'm a perversion But I don't know it's name In a car On the floor Up against the wall With a friend or two Someone to watch it all Young heart Everyone does it here Young heart Does your mother know what you've seen? Young heart Everyone does it here Young heart Does your mother know where you've been? What are you gonna do? What are you gonna do now? I don't believe in it I don't believe in it What are you gonna say? What are you gonna say now? I don't believe in it I don't believe in it What are you gonna feel? What are you gonna feel now? I don't believe in it I don't believe in it Where are you gonna go? Where are you gonna go now? I don't believe in it I don't believe in it Young heart, like you Young heart like you I'm not the question I'm not the pain I'm not surprised And I'm certainly not ashamed I want your number I want your name I won't remember Young hearts all the same |

it's cold outside
And the paint's peeling off of my walls There's a man outside In a long coat, grey hat, smoking a cigarette Now the light fades out And i'm wondering what i'm doing in a room like this There's a knock on the door And just for a second i thought i remembered you So now i'm alone Now i can think for myself About little deals And *issues* And things that i just don't understand Like a white lie that night Or a slight touch at times I don't think it meant anything to you ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By GARY WEBB <i>Lyrics © Universal Music Publishing Group</i> |

We are young, we can break
Watch us fall We can take some train down to the sea We are glass, we are glass We are real, you can touch Just for now, and then say "hey you, which way is down?" We are glass, we are glass We slip down And old eyes don't cry for me 'Cos I doubt I'm and I doubt you And never, never goin' to doubt We are glass, we are glass They run fast impressions Of the floors inviting Stay with me, stay with me They run past with telephones they scream Well would you turn all this down Trun all this down You are replaced you are you And our dreams are real and dreams are all we need We are glass, we are glass |

I've been there and seen it
I've been up and down And I've been fighting for so long. I can't stop for all your stories I can't stop for all you young hearts. Been up on the power Been down and ashamed I'm sure I'm guilty of something now. I'm back and I'm proven I'm back and I'm strong And I've been waiting for so long.

This is not love
This is not even worth a point of view In echo park I Pause for effect and whisper who are you? They crawl out of their holes fro me And I die: you die Hear them laugh, watch them turn on me And I die: you die See my scars, they call me such things Tear me, tear me, tear me But I have your names Screaming 'you will suffer' and 'you're all too late' Now I feel young Does everything stop when the old times lapse They crawl out of their holes fro me And I die: you die Hear them laugh, watch them turn on me And I die: you die See my scars, they call me such things Tear me, tear me, tear me But I'm still running from the telephone |

Tell you a story
'Bout a friend of mine Woke up in this room Looked like... black and white movies No light And someone strange in the bed She said You could be here forever Can you feel me? I'm the new disease I'm like a hunger That you've never known Do you want me? I'll take everything I'm like a hunger Lying in your heart He made excuses Tried to leave the room She said I'm the disease and the cure Skin mechanics couldn't help you here The nature of need Leaves you junk sick and lonely Can you feel me? I'm the new disease I'm like a hunger That you've never known Do you want me? I'll take everything I'm like a hunger Lying in your heart Trick it up Trick it up good Trick it up Trick it up good Can you feel me? I'm the new disease I'm like a hunger That you've never known She moved Like a ghost to the door She said This is a re-al love story I heard his voice And walked in on it all She said You could be here forever Can you feel me? I'm the new disease I'm like a hunger That you've never known Do you want me? I'll take everything I'm like a hunger Lying in your heart Can you feel me? I'm the new disease I'm like a hunger That you've never known Do you want me? I'll take everything I'm like a hunger Lying in your heart |

Like a TV screen but silent Where the victims are all paid by the hour Staring at the ceiling As she gyrates all around me I am trying to forget she's done this all before Far too many people For a quiet night with myself Oh I could be anyone tonight Focus on a feeling I've detected while I'm sleeping Sing a chorus of "On Broadway" and deny it all You are in my vision I can't turn my face You are in my vision I can't move my eyes You are in my vision I can't move at all You are in my vision Delicate bodies That decay beneath their clothing Play cards in an empty house in Paris The wreckage of a hero Lies broken in a corner And everyone pretends they like to live that way You are in my vision I can't turn my face You are in my vision I can't move my eyes You are in my vision I can't move at all You are in my vision |

The problems of need I need you
Obscene dreams in rusty beds No one came here tonight I pulled on me, I need to I un-stick pages and read I look at pictures of you I smell the lust in my hands Everyday I die Her favorite trick was to suck me inside Oh so very art nouveau completely false Feelings of love I don't No one knows, but that died years ago I un-stick pages and read I look at pictures of you I smell the lust in my hands Everyday I die |
