Gary Numan

Nothing I can say
Can make your picture talk
I feel so tired and
Nothing I can do
Will make your picture move
I feel so helpless but
I can feel
A child with the ghost here
You let your heart slip away

If I had one wish
I'd wish to talk with you
I have some questions
Things only you could know
If I had one wish
I'd wish to talk with you
Nothing you can feel
Can feel as cold as this
I'll sing this song and
I'll say goodbye forever

I wonder
If God is all they say
I can't believe in such things.
I suppose
Some games are hard to lose
But you don't have to play 'cos
I can feel
A child with the ghost here
You let your heart slip away

So, I prayed...
But you weren't listening.
Making miracles?

So, I begged...
But you were far away.
Saving souls perhaps?

So, I screamed...
But she was very small
And you have worlds to mend.

So, she died...
And you were glorious.
But you were somewhere else.

If you are my shepherd
Then I'm lost and no one can find me.
If you are my saviour
Then I'm dead and no one can help me.


If you are my glory
Then I'm sick and no one can cure me.
If you light my darkness
Then I'm blind and no one can see me.

If you are my father
Then love lies abandoned and bleeding.
If you are my comfort
Then nightmares are real and deceiving.
If you are my answer
Then I must have asked the wrong question.
I'd spit on your heaven
If I could find one to believe in.

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

I would swim across oceans
Just to talk with you
I would climb a tall mountain
Just to look at you
I'd give my soul to the devil
If you asked me to
I would walk out of heaven
Just to be with you

This is absolute
This is absolution
This is absolute
This is absolution

I will be your disciple
And I'll worship you
Burn the prophets of reason
Light the sky for you
Kill the children of Eden
If you want me to
Close the dead eyes of God
If they offended you

This is absolute
This is absolution
This is absolute
This is absolution

I would swim across oceans
Just to talk with you
I would climb a tall mountain
Just to look at you
I'd give my soul to the devil
If you asked me to
I would walk out of heaven
Just to be with you

This is absolute
This is absolution

I will be your disciple
And I'll worship you


Burn the prophets of reason
Light the sky for you
Kill the children of Eden
If you want me to
Close the dead eyes of God
If they offended you

This is absolute
This is absolution

I'm in a car
And I'm over you
I'm a passenger
And I'm over you
I'm looking for
America
I'm looking for
You
I'm in a glasshouse
And I'm over you
I'm thin, far too thin
And I'm over you
I'm in a corner
And I'm over you
I'm old, far too old
And I'm over you

I'm in a car
And I'm over you
I'm a passenger
And I'm over you
I'm looking for
America
I'm looking for
You
I'm in a glasshouse
And I'm over you
I'm thin, far too thin
And I'm over you
I'm in a corner
And I'm over you
I'm old, far too old
And I'm over you

So I wandered like Jesus
Like an alien cure
Searching for my disciples
Dispossessed and alone.

So I looked deeper
Into evil
And I came closer
To your corruption.

I took a virgin like Mary
And said "I give you The One"
I confessed to desire
And watched the world come undone.

So I looked deeper
Into evil
And I came closer
To your obsession.

So I looked deeper
Into evil
And I came closer
To Heaven.
Your Heaven.

So I moved like a rumour
Like a glorious lie
And I walked into Heaven
Into dead paradise.

So I wandered like Jesus
Like an alien cure
Searching for my disciples
Dispossessed and alone.

So I looked deeper
Into evil
And I came closer
To your corruption.

I took a virgin like Mary
And said "I give you The One"
I confessed to desire
And watched the world come undone.

So I looked deeper
Into evil


And I came closer
To your obsession.

So I looked deeper
Into evil
And I came closer
To Heaven.
Your Heaven.

So I moved like a rumour
Like a glorious lie
And I walked into Heaven
Into dead paradise.

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

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

And this is my story
My face, the picture's changed
Do you remember me
Now I'm fighting to breathe
It's been such a long time

Do you want to come
Do you want to come
Do you want to come with me

Nothing here for me now
I can't belive the noise
We'll take this place apart
I know they'll find me soon

But now the weakness comes
I'll question everything
I'll trade new dreams for old
I've been waiting for you
I've waited far too long

And this is my story
My face, the picture's changed
Do you remember me
Now I'm fighting to breathe
It's been such a long time

Do you want to come
Do you want to come
Do you want to come with me

Nothing here for me now
I can't belive the noise
We'll take this place apart
I know they'll find me soon

But now the weakness comes
I'll question everything
I'll trade new dreams for old
I've been waiting for you
I've waited far too long

Someone is talking
But it's not conversation,
Sounds more like a voice in my head.
It says
'I live in nightmares
I'm the new god of panic
And I'm waiting for you to come home to me.


'So boy, welcome to sleep
I'm gonna make you, make you, make you bleed.'


I could be dreaming
But then maybe that's fatal.
There's nowhere to hide in your dreams.
I'm so uneasy
I'm shaking and nervous.
I'm alone in my room and I'm scared of it.




So, don't let me sleep
It's gonna make me, make me, make me bleed.


My mother told me
'Don't believe in ghost stories.
There's nothing to hurt you in here.'
But she was wrong
And now it's come back to haunt me.
It says it won't leave me alive for long.


I don't want to sleep.
It's gonna make me, make me, make me bleed.

Look up I hear the scream of sirens on the wall
I see a policeman crying in the backseat of a dying Ford
Hotel waiters leave the bedrooms of stars
Who are far too old
And no-one ever told me
That I could be so cold

Bombers fight at zero feet
Bombers fight at zero

I see an old man knocked to the ground
And beaten by the vicar's wife
No-one stops to help they're far too busy
Trying to save their own lives
A tiny girl screams for mother
And wanders out into the street
I saw her going down underneath
A thousand people's running feet

Bombers fight at zero feet
Bombers fight at zero

All the junkies pulling needles from their arms
Hope it lasts all night
And all the soldiers curse the day they joined the army
And prepare to fight
In silent bars, in silent rooms, in silent cars
You hide where you can
And me I know just where you are, you see
I'm a bomber man

Bombers fight at zero feet
Bombers fight at zero

Look up I hear the scream of sirens on the wall
I see a policeman crying in the backseat of a dying Ford
Hotel waiters leave the bedrooms of stars
Who are far too old
And no-one ever told me
That I could be so cold

Bombers fight at zero feet
Bombers fight at zero

I see an old man knocked to the ground
And beaten by the vicar's wife
No-one stops to help they're far too busy
Trying to save their own lives
A tiny girl screams for mother
And wanders out into the street
I saw her going down underneath
A thousand people's running feet

Bombers fight at zero feet
Bombers fight at zero

All the junkies pulling needles from their arms
Hope it lasts all night
And all the soldiers curse the day they joined the army
And prepare to fight
In silent bars, in silent rooms, in silent cars
You hide where you can
And me I know just where you are, you see
I'm a bomber man

Bombers fight at zero feet
Bombers fight at zero

Here am I
Like a target in flesh
One more time
For you to call out the dogs
Passengers
With a ticket to burn and burn and burn
You will learn
I'm still waiting for you you know
I'm a slogan, an old story,
a disease, never again
I don't like this, new anger,
these young boys, just make me laugh
This picture, I'm so nervous,
the DJ, says 'who are you'
Look at me, I'm shaking,
I don't know if I can move
I don't need
This attention again
I've lost time
I could lose everything
You will learn
That you've nowhere to go so go

This isn't music
This is survival
Used up and burnt out
Like an old Ford car
No more opinions
I'm back in harness
Cold metal rhythm
Takes me back to God
Metal rhythm
Cold and sane
Know my reason
Know my name
Radio station
Thank you for nothing
I like this anger
And I won't forget
This isn't love
It's more like a need
I'm a cold metal junkie
And I need the cure

Something is here
I can hear them breathe
Something is here
And I'm scared
Beg to your gods
But I don't believe
Nothing in here
Can help me now


Cold warning comes for me


Something is here
And I've got the nerves
Something is here
And I'm cold
I'm so lonely
Do you know how it feels?
All I can do
Now is lose


Cold warning comes for me

Something is here
I can hear them breathe
Something is here
And I'm scared
Beg to your gods
But I don't believe
Nothing in here
Can help me now


Cold warning comes for me


Something is here
And I've got the nerves
Something is here
And I'm cold
I'm so lonely
Do you know how it feels?
All I can do
Now is lose


Cold warning comes for me

They won't come back
You know it's always the same
And they're sure to forget
Saying "everyone lies"

So I'm down to this
I'm down to walking on air
And you're here by my side
With all your waving and smiles


Please keep them away
Don't let them touch me
Please don't let them lie
Don't let them see me

They won't come back
You know it's always the same
And they're sure to forget
Saying "everyone lies"

So I'm down to this
I'm down to walking on air
And you're here by my side
With all your waving and smiles


Please keep them away
Don't let them touch me
Please don't let them lie
Don't let them see me

They won't come back
You know it's always the same
And they're sure to forget
Saying "everyone lies"

So I'm down to this
I'm down to walking on air
And you're here by my side
With all your waving and smiles


Please keep them away
Don't let them touch me
Please don't let them lie
Don't let them see me

You owe me, and I need you
Party time, one more game, everybody's affected
This is my confession
This is my confession
Party time, one more lie, everybody's affected

Oh it's so easy
When parts take over
My conversation
Is nothing more than lies

You're just the viewer
So cold and distant
I've no intentions
Of saying "I love you"

My conversation

We are not gods
We are not men
We are not making claims
We are only boys

You are not strong
You are not force
You are not regular
You are just wrong

There are no faces
This is my complex
You are my picture
I call you 'mirrors'

These are not my tears
Not my reflection
Am I a photo?
I can't remember

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

Why cry now
It's over
Feelings change

How are you
Now am I
Cry, the clock said

I know little of romance
And these little tract houses
I know seven less of you
And if you should ever think of me
Maybe as a game you lost

Well someone I know lost the whole damn world
No more this talk of they're out to get me
Just slide out of Sydney and I can never go back

How could I be surprised
How could I even believe
Cry, the clock said

I'll forget who you are
I'll forget one of these days
Cry, the clock said

When I think of what he's done
I can dance, dance, dance all day, all night
Come on stand, clap your hands dance, dance

Dance, everybody down with us just dance
Wanna feel the groove then clap your hands
They ask who's been blessed tonight, I am
God's been good to me, never to be too late
And continually he's great he's on time
Even if I have to sit and wait

Sitting in the corner reminiscing
The course my life
Has taken all my ups and all my downs
But your mercy and grace brought me to this place

When I think of what he's done
I can dance, dance, dance all day, all night
Come on stand, clap you hands dance, dance

Trials and pain temptations reign
I never see how I'm gone make it though on my own
Not a chance, so I have to turn to you
Then you come and rescue me once again and again
So right now all I can do is give you praise

It's alright, it's okay, come clap your hands
Give him praise, give him praise
Go ahead just stand up
Come on shout and dance, give him praise

When I think of what he's done
I can dance, dance, dance all day, all night
Come on stand, clap your hands, dance

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

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 face of God.
Bow down and cry, I'm the black Messiah,
The one true divinity.
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

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

Don't let the dark into me

Don't let the dark into me

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

I kneel before my altar and drink the wine of slaughter

Don't let the light shine on me

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

You're like poison
You smile at me
Talk of love.
'He' will forgive me
If I confess.
Your dark Sunday
You lied to me
And so I
Replaced God
With a picture of my car.
I don't like this
I don't like this.
I'm on the E kick
So heaven's in my head
I'm in Outland
Shame on me.
I want pictures
People come, people go
D'you think God
Will forgive me soon?
You won't like this
You won't like this.
Rip it up
Rip it into pieces
Rip it up
Rip it for good.
Touch me, touch me.
He won't like this
He won't like this
'He' won't touch me
I can't dance and I can't sing
I'm not stone shape
But time runs out.
I don't like this
All I see is cold and hard
All I can do now
Is break 'the word'
I don't like this
I don't like this.
'He' will love me?
Well thank him
For nothing.
I need that like
I need a disease.
So pray for me.
I don't mind
I don't care.
I've found love
It's an American machine.
I don't like this
I don't like this.

Thought I was asleep
Lost to dreams
I was dying in a big machine
Didn't think the voice that called me
Could be real.

Thought I woke up
Lost my faith
I was staring at the face of rage
Didn't think I'd see the demon in "His" heart.

Thought I saw blood
Turn to wine
A vision from the angel wars
Didn't think I'd find the saviour in the dark.

Thought I saw a light
Tear the storm
Showing me the way to God
Didn't know that Heaven died and went to Hell.

Blessed is dead Heaven
Blessed are shadows and pain
Blessed is dead Heaven
Blessed is death in "His" name

Thought I saw rain
Black and cold
Falling on a child's grave
Thought I saw an angel laugh and piss on it.

Thought I saw a dance
Strange and cruel
Swaying to the screams of men
Thought I saw the Lord's disciples laugh at that.

Thought I saw love
Sacrificed
Mary under three wise men
Thought I saw the Virgin look at me and cry.

Thought I saw a cross
And Jesus dead
Burning in the midnight sky
Thought I saw God dancing in the flames.

Glory is dead Heaven
Glory is shadows and pain
Glory is dead Heaven
Glory is death in "His" name

"Do you confess?"
"Cleanse your sin"
"Do you believe in the word of God?"

Welcome to dead Heaven
Welcome to shadows and pain
Welcome to dead Heaven
Welcome to death in "His" name

I remember one girl
Saw her again in a magazine
Front cover, big star
Showing things that I'd never seen
Well maybe
Can you feel it? Can you?
I remember one girl
Who'd believe she'd be so devious
Bad decision, bad move
She told the papers everything
Well maybe
Do you need it, do you?
Do you want it, do you?
Come and get it
I remember one girl
She'd only make friends in expensive cars
Television, good wine
Leather seats and a friend of mine
Well maybe
Something's coming
Oh no

Charm up, strange down
Old face, new sound.
Same kick, same pain
Same reason, same game so.
Dance, let's move.
I can't dance, I can't sing
I'm too old, I'm too thin so?
Motion, I'm in love
One night's enough so.
Dance, let's move.
You can play
You can lose
You can't win
('I'm still looking for rhythm')
You can choose
Move up, I don't like this motion
Move out, I don't like this feeling
Move up, I don't need devotion
Move out, I don't need a reason.
'And I'm still looking for the rhythm.'

In my darkness
I hear Jesus crying.
In my darkness
I see children savage and blind.
In my darkness
I see dead men kneel before the cross.
In my darkness
I hear the voice of evil.

"Disciples, dark angels
This is Dominion Day"
"My demons, come to me
This is Dominion Day"

In His darkness
I can feel the storm come.
In His darkness
Holy water burns my soul.
In His darkness
A grave waits for you at Heaven's gate.
In His darkness
I hear screams that hide the voice of God.

"Come children of Eden
Pray to me on Dominion Day"
"Pray for your salvation,
Sanctuary on Dominion Day"

My soul, save me.

In His mercy
He will bring the disease.
In His mercy
He will burn the oceans.
In His mercy
He will tear the sky down.
In His mercy
He will make pain eternal.

"Your nightmare is breathing
This is Dominion Day."
"Welcome to your saviour
This is Dominion Day".
"This is my new kingdom.
This is Dominion Day."
"Creation bleeds for me.
This is Dominion Day."

In my darkness
I hear Jesus crying.
In my darkness
I see children savage and blind.
In my darkness

This is Dominion Day"

I can feel the storm come.
In his darkness
Holy water burns my soul.
In his darkness
A grave waits for you at heaven's gate.
In his darkness
I hear screams that hide the voice of God.

"Come children of Eden
Pray to me on Dominion Day".
"Pray for your salvation,


Sanctuary on Dominion Day"

My soul, save me.

In his mercy,
He will bring the disease.
In his mercy
He will burn the oceans.
In his mercy
He will tear the sky down.
In his mercy
He will make pain eternal.

"Your nightmare is breathing
This is Dominion Day."
"Welcome to your saviour
This is Dominion Day."
"This is my new kingdom.
This is Dominion Day."
"Creation bleeds for me.
This is Dominion Day."

Don't look for me
Don't call my name
Don't wait for time
Don't wait for love
Time now to leave
Time now to cry
Don't wait for love
No long goodbyes

Down in the park
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'

But the words never change

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.
