I'm awake you're still sleeping
The sun will rise like yesterday Everything that we are now Is everything we can't let go Or it's gone forever far away I hope tomorrow is like today Don't you go away tomorrow I don't think I could handle that'You're probably dreaming that you're Flying on then You start to fall But then you rise And shine forever Don't go away I hope tomorrow is like today |

Woke up today,
To everything gray And all that I saw, Just kept going on and on Sweep all the pieces under the bed Close all the curtains and cover my head And what you wish for won't come true You aren't surprised love, are you? If this serenade (Repeat after me) (Just a little bit closer) Is not what you want (Do what is sane) (Caught up in a lie) It's just how it is, (Won't change a thing) (Got a little bit colder) It keeps going on and on (unison "on and on") Come out, come out wherever you are Would you do it all over right from the start? And what you wish for won't come true You aren't surprised love, are you? Once had this dream, Crashed down in oz Not black and white, But where the colors are I never dreamed that I would let it go And I will get what I deserve Keep all the secrets under the bed Open the curtains, forget what I said And what you wished for could come true You aren't surprised love, are you? So what you wished for could come true You act surprised love, are you? |

You were almost kind, you were almost true
Don't let me see that other side of you You have learned in time that you must be cruel I'll have to wait to get the best of you Poison in everything you said Don't you, don't you Wonder what difference does it make Either way? You were almost kind, you were almost true Why give away that other side of you? Happens every time, so it must be true Step on a kid, he'll grow up hating you Poison in everything you said Don't you, don't you Wonder what difference does it make Either way? Were you ever kind, were you always cruel? Who's ever seen that other side of you? Happened every time, so it must be true Where did you learn it's either him or you? You were almost kind, you were almost true Don't let me see that other side of you You have learned in time that you must be cruel I'll have to wait to get the best of you Poison in everything you said Don't you, don't you? Wonder what difference does it make Either way... Either way |

Mumbled words under my breath There is something I've been meaning to do, I am dying to tell you I've been so damned tired It went down at the May parade, Bitter words under my breath There is something I've been dying to do, I was meaning to tell you I've been so damned sad Cause I spy something red You don't know how far you've gone Or recognize who you've become How'd you grow to be so hard... Sick of playing my part We went down at the May parade, Alcohol under my breath There is something I've been meaning to do, I am dying to tell you I've been so damned sad Cause I spy something red You don't know how far you've gone Or recognize who you've become When'd you grow to be so hard....

He said to only look up
He said to never look down Down is where we came from He said to hope for the best And take a load off our chest Soon I could be happy And go all the way up to heaven And go all the way back home He thought I might need his help No one gets high on themselves I just seem so lonely He's just trying to be nice And spread around his advice I could be that happy And go all the way up to heaven And go all the way back home Stay the way I am today is certainement disaster He can tell a fairy tale, it's happily ever after Just relax and greener grass will grow here for a change Maybe then we'll last a million years Or more or more or more or more And go all the way up to heaven And go all the way back home Yes, I do believe what he says I want to be happy I could sure use his help No one gets by on themselves He can make me happy And I will only look up (It's a warm summer breeze) And I will never look down (It's a weakness in your knees) Down is where we came from (It's a perfect place above full of everlasting love) And I will hope for the best (Nothing to fear, nothing to hide) And take a load off my chest (You just say what's on your mind) Soon I could be happy (Needn't think before you speak, this is how it's meant to be) And I needed his help (Ever high, never fall) Now I'm high by myself (You can do no wrong at all) I am never lonely (In this heaven up above filled with everlasting love) And I will try to be nice (To the light) And spread around his advice You could be this happy (To the light) Yes, do you believe what he says? You could be this happy |

Say goodbye.
Lose your friends. Make them go. Don't need them around. Cause it's time. Lose your friends Make them go. Was never supposed to be like this. They were too weak. Too prone to break. Their needs too deep. Their skin too thin. By now you took what was to take. Tear it apart and start again. So go on, If this will make you happier. It got you this far. Did what you had to. You've wasted every moment Of your Saturdays And your Sundays. You're wasted from the boredom. Was never supposed to be Like your father said, "Just do what was done unto you, always." In your father's steps, You'll do what was done unto you. It won't be hard to start again. So go on, If this will make you happier. It got you this far. Do what you have to. And you're gone now. (Well you knew this would come) (And you've left me alone) And did it make you happier? (And you're lost and you're gone) (Don't take it so seriously) It wasn't that hard. (Go on, get going) (I'm fine on my own) Did what you had to. (And we got me this far) (Finally got it figured out) One more inch, You son of a bitch. You've been wasting my time, always. And now you're half awake. You bend 'til you break. And make the same mistakes, always. So go on, If this will make you happier. It got you this far. Do what you have to. And you're gone now. (Well you knew this would come) (And you've left me alone) And did it make you happier? (And you're lost and you're gone) (Don't take it so seriously) It wasn't that hard.

The secrets that we keep say them in our sleep
And wrestle down our souls if they would speak I watched you board a train in the London rain And waved bye-bye as you slipped out of view Diane Diane We'll make it out together We'll make it out We'll make it out In your dreams when the smile now comes You're mumbling words with a lazy tongue We lie together when we say it's love Who were you just thinking of, Diane? Diane Diane I don't say it but I know you know The theme returns so deep And visits us in sleep To define the you and I as we So we pass the time and occupy our minds And close our eyes and hope that we'll be fine Diane Diane We'll make it out together We'll make it out together We'll make it out We'll make it out And I may leave in time you'll see I'll come right back for you And I may leave in time you'll see I'll come right back for you, for you |

As usual you'll get your way You closed the door and stumbled down to the street Where you wring your hands And you drag your feet Where the words can't find you To crawl inside you I'm ringing all the warning bells Careful or you'll hurt yourself Others lie, lie, lie, they adore you I'll be the one to tell Careful or you'll hurt yourself Gonna try, try, try 'til the morning comes But you can't hide standing under these stars They know everything, they know where you are You're in your head, you're all turned around with it And they're shining down their light to bring you back again Back where I can find you To crawl inside you I'm ringing all the warning bells Careful or you'll hurt yourself Others lie, lie, lie, they adore you I'll be the one to tell Careful or you'll hurt yourself Gonna try, try, try 'til the morning All you want to see is make-believe, it's nothing But way down underneath I'm ringing all the warning bells Careful you don't hurt yourself Others lie, lie, lie, they adore you I'll be the one to tell Careful, you'll hurt yourself Gonna try, try, try 'til the morning comes |

In the backyard
In the garden You were always there Digging down where roots would burrow underneath Now the grass is always overgrown And the weeds are choking out the sun Pretty soon they'll come under the door And you don't care In the backyard Since last summer Almost nothing left Just some pieces of the roots that once dug in Now the grass is always overgrown And the weeds are choking out the sun Why do you still come home anymore When you don't care? |

On your way to the best years of your life
Everyone's banging on their gongs The sooner you leave the sooner you're home Back in Massachusetts To your golden age where they tuck you in at night You didn't see it coming Now who you gonna wave to? This time you're not homecoming king Did you hear that? Have you heard that sound before? Do you even know where it is coming from? It's getting too loud it keeps on pushing you out Into the arms of 1994 You didn't see it coming Now who you gonna wave to? You're not homecoming king You stand on your own Wasn't what you hoped at all Do you still recall it? Giving dead-arms in the hall Stay right where you are You'll be half of who you were When you always would win So count the days till you give in Back to Massachusetts To your golden age where your crown is shining bright You didn't see it coming Now who you gonna wave to? You're not homecoming king You didn't see it coming Now who you gonna wave to? You're not homecoming king |

A wink and a girlie smile And why'd you have to punch my eye? That was something But did you want me to stay? When I was younger and thought of myself I never dreamed I'd become like this A snap of your fingers an end to the arguments Anything for you, love Cause there were days when a refrain Would brighten our corner of Hickory Lane When you would sing that song for me The only one you know But I know now, not at the start We're going to pieces we're falling apart So come and sing that song for me Just like your favorite singer? |

It was clear there was no one else around We declared a national holiday A chance to build it from the ground So far away from everyone And everything starts today Keep it together Can we keep it together We're singing a new song now And everything starts today Can we rise? Can we get along alright? Can we miss the storm that sucked the whole world in? And the boats went out at night And the choppers in the sky They searched but they could find no trace of us So far away from everyone And everything starts today Keep it together Can we keep it together We're singing a new song now And everything starts today The thunder struck, the clouds appeared Our fearless crew was not prepared And pretty soon the boats came for us Half a million strong We gathered arms and fired shells We built a wall around ourselves And pretty soon the spirit was a lot like What it used to be back home So far away from everyone And everything starts today Keep it together Can we keep it together We're singing a new song now And everything starts today |

woke up today, to everything grey, and all that i saw, just kept going on and on, sweep all the pieces under the bed, close all the curtains and cover my head, and what you wish for won't come true, you aren't surprised, love, are you... if this serenade, (repeat after me, just a little bit closer), is not what you want, (and do what i say, caught up in a lie), it's just how it is, (it won't change a thing, got a little bit colder), it keeps going on and on, come out come out wherever you are, would you do it all over, right from the start, and what you wish for, won't come true, you aren't surprised, love, are you. so what you wish for, won't come true, you aren't surprised, love, are you... once had this dream, crashed down in oz, not black and white, but where the colors are, i never dreamed that i would let it go, and i will get what i deserve, leave all the secrets under the bed, open the curtains forget what i said, and what you wish for could come true, you aren't surprised, love, are you. so what you wish for could come true, you act surprised, love, are you...

It was clear there was no one else around We declared a national holiday A chance to build it from the ground So far away from everyone And everything starts today Keep it together Can we keep it together We're singing a new song now And everything starts today Can we rise? Can we get along alright? Can we miss the storm that sucked the whole world in? And the boats went out at night And the choppers in the sky They searched but they could find no trace of us So far away from everyone And everything starts today Keep it together Can we keep it together We're singing a new song now And everything starts today The thunder struck, the clouds appeared Our fearless crew was not prepared And pretty soon the boats came for us Half a million strong We gathered arms and fired shells We built a wall around ourselves And pretty soon the spirit was a lot like What it used to be back home So far away from everyone And everything starts today Keep it together Can we keep it together We're singing a new song now And everything starts today |

i know a movie star, i've got her plastered to my wall, just like we're dear old friends, like she already knows me, she's as perfect as she seems, lifts me right out the mezzanine, i finally fell in love, i'd been waiting forever... four, three, two, one, when at the barrel of a gun, keep my head way down, stay out i'll stay in, half dead half numb, she's enough to make me warm, it's all so safe and sound... lie back and fast asleep, if you could see what i could see, drip drop a lovely dream... goddamn you movie star, can't you just play a minute more, we'd be the best of friends, you could stay here forever... four, three, two, one, when at the barrel of a gun, keep my head way down, stay out i'll stay in, half dead and half numb, she's enough to make me warm, it's all so safe and sound... she will be sweet on me, just like a mystery, it's not so hard to see, if i'm not mistaken, she comes from far away (far... far away), gets closer everyday (everyday), and all that i can say (can say), she's all i want and all that i live for... four, three, two, one, when at the barrel of a gun, keep my head way down, stay out i'll stay in, half dead half numb, she's enough to make me warm, it's all so safe and sound...

In the backyard
In the garden You were always there Digging down where roots would burrow underneath Now the grass is always overgrown And the weeds are choking out the sun Pretty soon they'll come under the door And you don't care In the backyard Since last summer Almost nothing left Just some pieces of the roots that once dug in Now the grass is always overgrown And the weeds are choking out the sun Why do you still come home anymore When you don't care? |

He said to only look up
He said to never look down Down is where we came from He said to hope for the best And take a load off our chest Soon I could be happy And go all the way up to heaven And go all the way back home He thought I might need his help No one gets high on themselves I just seem so lonely He's just trying to be nice And spread around his advice I could be that happy And go all the way up to heaven And go all the way back home Stay the way I am today is certainement disaster He can tell a fairy tale, it's happily ever after Just relax and greener grass will grow here for a change Maybe then we'll last a million years Or more or more or more or more And go all the way up to heaven And go all the way back home Yes, I do believe what he says I want to be happy I could sure use his help No one gets by on themselves He can make me happy And I will only look up (It's a warm summer breeze) And I will never look down (It's a weakness in your knees) Down is where we came from (It's a perfect place above full of everlasting love) And I will hope for the best (Nothing to fear, nothing to hide) And take a load off my chest (You just say what's on your mind) Soon I could be happy (Needn't think before you speak, this is how it's meant to be) And I needed his help (Ever high, never fall) Now I'm high by myself (You can do no wrong at all) I am never lonely (In this heaven up above filled with everlasting love) And I will try to be nice (To the light) And spread around his advice You could be this happy (To the light) Yes, do you believe what he says? You could be this happy |

And you walked out when I asked you to stay
As usual you will get your way You closed the door and shuffled down to the street Where you wring your hands And drag your feet Where the words can't find you To crawl inside you I'm ringing all the warning bells Careful or you'll hurt yourself Others lie, lie, lie, they adore you I'll be the one to tell you Careful or you'll hurt yourself Gonna try, try, try till the morning comes But you can't hide standing under these stars They know everything, they know where you are You're in your head, you're all turned around with it And they're shining down their light to bring you back again Back where I can find you To crawl inside you I'm ringing all the warning bells Careful or you'll hurt yourself Others lie, lie, lie, they adore you I'll be the one to tell you Careful or you'll hurt yourself Gonna try, try, try till the morning comes All you want to see is make believe But way down underneath I'm ringing all the warning bells Careful you don't hurt yourself Others lie, lie, lie, they adore you I'll be the one to tell you Careful or you'll hurt yourself Gonna try, try, try till the morning comes |

You were almost kind, you were almost true

Happens every time, so it must be true Step on a kid, he'll grow up hating you Poison in everything you said Don't you, don't you Wonder what difference does it make Either way? Were you ever kind, were you always cruel? Who's ever seen that other side of you? Happened every time, so it must be true Where did you learn it's either him or you?

My eyes don't move or blink 'Cause it's easier sometimes Not to be sincere Somehow I make you believe Believe When I speak I cross my fingers Will you know you've been deceived? I find a need to be the demon A demon cannot be hurt Honest is easy Fiction's where genius lies 'Cause it's easier sometimes Not to be involved Somehow I make you believe Believe When I speak I cross my fingers Will you know you've been deceived?

If in the morning you look up
Fake a smile and you sigh Don't fear the future In the years to come you'll learn ( you'll learn) I used to sit and watch the pouring rain I used to wish to be back home again Hadn't the strength then Hadn't the chance to reveal (it) But it's all (it's all) in your head When do we begin? Although you're so sad Discover things never had It makes you wonder A life alone you'll learn you'll learn you'll learn I used to sit and watch the pouring rain I used to wish to be back home again Hadn't the strength then Hadn't the chance the reveal But it's all it's all in your head (2x) When do we begin? When do we begin? You'll learn (3x) Don't fear the future I used to sit and watch the pouring rain I used to wish to be back home again I hadn't I hadn't the strength then Hadn't the strength to reveal (it) But it's all in your head (4x) When do we begin? |

Ramona where have you been?
I couldn't go to sleep 'til you came in Ramona you're Miss Oklahoma and you Miss Oklahoma I'll get you what you want Cause there were days when a refrain Would brighten our corner of Hickory Lane When you would sing that song for me Just like your favorite singer Why'd you have to be so nice? A wink and a girlie smile And why'd you have to punch my eye? That was something But did you want me to stay? When I was younger and thought of myself I never dreamed I'd become like this A snap of your fingers an end to the arguments Anything for you, love Cause there were days when a refrain Would brighten our corner of Hickory Lane When you would sing that song for me The only one you know But I know now, not at the start We're going to pieces we're falling apart So come and sing that song for me Just like your favorite singer? |

Lose your friends. Make them go. Don't need them around. Cause it's time. Lose your friends Make them go. Was never supposed to be like this. They were too weak. Too prone to break. Their needs too deep. Their skin too thin. By now you took what was to take. Tear it apart and start again. So go on, If this will make you happier. It got you this far. Did what you had to. You've wasted every moment Of your Saturdays And your Sundays. You're wasted from the boredom. Was never supposed to be Like your father said, "Just do what was done unto you, always." In your father's steps, You'll do what was done unto you. It won't be hard to start again. So go on, If this will make you happier. It got you this far. Do what you have to. And you're gone now. (Well you knew this would come) (And you've left me alone) And did it make you happier? (And you're lost and you're gone) (Don't take it so seriously) It wasn't that hard.

And now you're half awake. You bend 'til you break. And make the same mistakes, always. So go on, If this will make you happier. It got you this far. Do what you have to. And you're gone now.

woke up today, to everything grey, and all that i saw, just kept going on and on, sweep all the pieces under the bed, close all the curtains and cover my head, and what you wish for won't come true, you aren't surprised, love, are you... if this serenade, (repeat after me, just a little bit closer), is not what you want, (and do what i say, caught up in a lie), it's just how it is, (it won't change a thing, got a little bit colder), it keeps going on and on, come out come out wherever you are, would you do it all over, right from the start, and what you wish for, won't come true, you aren't surprised, love, are you. so what you wish for, won't come true, you aren't surprised, love, are you... once had this dream, crashed down in oz, not black and white, but where the colors are, i never dreamed that i would let it go, and i will get what i deserve, leave all the secrets under the bed, open the curtains forget what i said, and what you wish for could come true, you aren't surprised, love, are you. so what you wish for could come true, you act surprised, love, are you...

The secrets that we keep say them in our sleep
And wrestle down our souls if they would speak I watched you board a train in the London rain And waved bye-bye as you slipped out of view Diane Diane We'll make it out together We'll make it out We'll make it out In your dreams when the smile now comes You're mumbling words with a lazy tongue We lie together when we say it's love Who were you just thinking of, Diane? Diane Diane I don't say it but I know you know The theme returns so deep And visits us in sleep To define the you and I as we So we pass the time and occupy our minds And close our eyes and hope that we'll be fine Diane Diane We'll make it out together We'll make it out together We'll make it out We'll make it out And I may leave in time you'll see I'll come right back for you And I may leave in time you'll see I'll come right back for you, for you |

Being a crutch like this or grief like mine Oh... Does it feel like There's no bright side? Do you want to place your fist in the wall?

Dorothy moves to click her ruby shoes
Right in tune with "Dark Side of the Moon" Someone, someone could tell me Where I belong Be calm, be brave, it'll be okay No more messing around and living underground On new year's resolutions By this time next year, I won't be here I turn on, turn on MTV, the volume's down Lips move, they say It'll be okay To tell you the truth, I've said it before Tomorrow I start in a new direction One last time these words from me I'm never saying them again And I shut the light And listen as my watch unwinds To tell you the truth I've said it before Tomorrow I start in a new direction I know I've been half-asleep I'm never doing that again I look straight at what's coming ahead And soon it's going to change in a new direction Every night as I'm falling asleep These words repeated in my head Voices calling from a yellow road To come downstairs and say hello Don't be shy, just say hello To tell you the truth I've said it before Tomorrow I start in a new direction I know I've been half-asleep I'm never doing that again I look straight at what's coming ahead And soon it's going to change in a new direction Every night as I'm falling asleep Those words repeated in my head |

As usual you'll get your way You closed the door and stumbled down to the street Where you wring your hands And you drag your feet Where the words can't find you To crawl inside you I'm ringing all the warning bells Careful or you'll hurt yourself Others lie, lie, lie, they adore you I'll be the one to tell Careful or you'll hurt yourself Gonna try, try, try 'til the morning comes But you can't hide standing under these stars They know everything, they know where you are You're in your head, you're all turned around with it And they're shining down their light to bring you back again Back where I can find you To crawl inside you I'm ringing all the warning bells Careful or you'll hurt yourself Others lie, lie, lie, they adore you I'll be the one to tell Careful or you'll hurt yourself Gonna try, try, try 'til the morning All you want to see is make-believe, it's nothing But way down underneath I'm ringing all the warning bells Careful you don't hurt yourself Others lie, lie, lie, they adore you I'll be the one to tell Careful, you'll hurt yourself Gonna try, try, try 'til the morning comes |

Say goodbye.
Lose your friends. Make them go. Don't need them around. Cause it's time. Lose your friends Make them go. Was never supposed to be like this. They were too weak. Too prone to break. Their needs too deep. Their skin too thin. By now you took what was to take. Tear it apart and start again. So go on, If this will make you happier. It got you this far. Did what you had to. You've wasted every moment Of your Saturdays And your Sundays. You're wasted from the boredom. Was never supposed to be Like your father said, "Just do what was done unto you, always." In your father's steps, You'll do what was done unto you. It won't be hard to start again. So go on, If this will make you happier. It got you this far. Do what you have to. And you're gone now. (Well you knew this would come) (And you've left me alone) And did it make you happier? (And you're lost and you're gone) (Don't take it so seriously) It wasn't that hard. (Go on, get going) (I'm fine on my own) Did what you had to. (And we got me this far) (Finally got it figured out) One more inch, You son of a bitch. You've been wasting my time, always. And now you're half awake. You bend 'til you break. And make the same mistakes, always. So go on, If this will make you happier. It got you this far. Do what you have to. And you're gone now. (Well you knew this would come) (And you've left me alone) And did it make you happier? (And you're lost and you're gone) (Don't take it so seriously) It wasn't that hard. (Go on, get going) (I'm fine on my own) Did what you had to. (And we got me this far) (Finally got it figured out) |

Ramona where have you been?
I couldn't go to sleep 'til you came in Ramona you're Miss Oklahoma and you Miss Oklahoma I'll get you what you want Cause there were days when a refrain Would brighten our corner of Hickory Lane When you would sing that song for me Just like your favorite singer Why'd you have to be so nice? A wink and a girlie smile And why'd you have to punch my eye? That was something But did you want me to stay? When I was younger and thought of myself I never dreamed I'd become like this A snap of your fingers an end to the arguments Anything for you, love Cause there were days when a refrain Would brighten our corner of Hickory Lane When you would sing that song for me The only one you know But I know now, not at the start We're going to pieces we're falling apart So come and sing that song for me Just like your favorite singer? |

Threw away your greatest hits
You left them here the day you split Your bass guitar and shag CD Well, they don't mean that much to me Right now I'm going through your things These days, I'm changing all my strings I'm gonna write you a letter I'm gonna write you a book I want to see your reaction I want to see how it looks From way up on your cloud Where you've been hiding out Are you getting somewhere? Or did you get lost in Amsterdam? You won't get too far from me Believing everything you read You're wasted in the great unknown And I am finally ready to dispose Of all your vintage clothes Your drugs and every secret code I'm gonna write you a letter I'm gonna write you a book I want to see your reaction I want to see how it looks From way up on your cloud Where you've been hiding out Are you getting somewhere? Or did you get lost in Amsterdam? From your red balloon, you were A super high tech jet fighter Floating over Planet Earth Come back down here, I'll show you where it hurts Take this bitter pill Is it easy to swallow? I'm gonna write you a letter I'm gonna write you a book I want to see your reaction I want to see how it looks From way up on your cloud Where you've been hiding out Are you getting somewhere?

We went down to the May parade,
Mumbled words under my breath There is something I've been meaning to do, I am dying to tell you I've been so damned tired It went down at the May parade, Bitter words under my breath There is something I've been dying to do, I was meaning to tell you I've been so damned sad Cause I spy something red You don't know how far you've gone Or recognize who you've become How'd you grow to be so hard... Sick of playing my part We went down at the May parade, Alcohol under my breath There is something I've been meaning to do, I am dying to tell you I've been so damned sad Cause I spy something red You don't know how far you've gone Or recognize who you've become When'd you grow to be so hard.... Sick of playing my part |

On your way to the best years of your life
Everyone's banging on their gongs The sooner you leave the sooner you're home Back in Massachusetts To your golden age where they tuck you in at night You didn't see it coming Now who you gonna wave to? This time you're not homecoming king Did you hear that? Have you heard that sound before? Do you even know where it is coming from? It's getting too loud it keeps on pushing you out Into the arms of 1994 You didn't see it coming Now who you gonna wave to? You're not homecoming king You stand on your own Wasn't what you hoped at all Do you still recall it? Giving dead-arms in the hall Stay right where you are You'll be half of who you were When you always would win So count the days till you give in Back to Massachusetts To your golden age where your crown is shining bright You didn't see it coming Now who you gonna wave to? You're not homecoming king You didn't see it coming Now who you gonna wave to? You're not homecoming king |

When we all had finally washed ashore
It was clear there was no one else around We declared a national holiday A chance to build it from the ground So far away from everyone And everything starts today Keep it together Can we keep it together We're singing a new song now And everything starts today Can we rise? Can we get along alright? Can we miss the storm that sucked the whole world in? And the boats went out at night And the choppers in the sky They searched but they could find no trace of us So far away from everyone And everything starts today Keep it together Can we keep it together We're singing a new song now And everything starts today The thunder struck, the clouds appeared Our fearless crew was not prepared And pretty soon the boats came for us Half a million strong We gathered arms and fired shells We built a wall around ourselves And pretty soon the spirit was a lot like What it used to be back home So far away from everyone And everything starts today Keep it together Can we keep it together We're singing a new song now And everything starts today |

Woke up today,
To everything gray And all that I saw, Just kept going on and on Sweep all the pieces under the bed Close all the curtains and cover my head And what you wish for won't come true You aren't surprised love, are you? If this serenade (Repeat after me) (Just a little bit closer) Is not what you want (Do what is sane) (Caught up in a lie) It's just how it is, (Won't change a thing) (Got a little bit colder) It keeps going on and on (unison "on and on") Come out, come out wherever you are Would you do it all over right from the start? And what you wish for won't come true You aren't surprised love, are you? Once had this dream, Crashed down in oz Not black and white, But where the colors are I never dreamed that I would let it go And I will get what I deserve Keep all the secrets under the bed Open the curtains, forget what I said And what you wished for could come true You aren't surprised love, are you? So what you wished for could come true You act surprised love, are you? |

There we stand about to fly
Peeking down over land, parachute behind What was that moment for which we live Without a parachute about to dive? Find myself convincing Blindly falling faster How easy Oh, know the place I'm leaving And the rest is just gone Oh, the adoration But how much strength does it take For exploration, for split decision? Or are you stronger to remain? Oh, find myself convincing Blindly falling faster How easy Oh, know the place I'm leaving And the rest is just gone It crept up on me Ignored all my pleas Begging to leave No justice to maim me Fell out of the sky Cease it to be Without a reply Gravity fails me And when I awoke I knew what was real I hope to convince you Lies, they all torture me Opened the door Knew what was me I finally realized Parachute over me Parachute over me Parachute over me |

just a perfect reflection, you and no one else minutes run into hours, hours run into days you're still waiting for someone who never ever came fa fa-fa fa-fa-fa-fa-fa never be the same again fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa never be the same again you were always saying something, you swear you'd never say again you were always saying something, you swear you'd never say again fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa never be the same again fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa never be the same again go and run through the hallways, find your way to the door you will end up like always back where you were before then you look in the mirror, wish you were somebody else but it's still your reflection, you and no one else you were always saying something, you swear you'd never say again you were always saying something, you swear you'd never say again fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa never be the same again fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa never be the same again No matter where you go, you'll never find your way home you'll never find your way home, no matter where you go you were always saying something, you swear you'd never say again you were always saying something, you swear you'd never say again fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa never be the same again fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa never be the same again |

We went down to the May parade,
Mumbled words under my breath There is something I've been meaning to do, I am dying to tell you I've been so damned tired It went down at the May parade, Bitter words under my breath There is something I've been dying to do, I was meaning to tell you I've been so damned sad Cause I spy something red You don't know how far you've gone Or recognize who you've become How'd you grow to be so hard... Sick of playing my part We went down at the May parade, Alcohol under my breath There is something I've been meaning to do, I am dying to tell you I've been so damned sad Cause I spy something red You don't know how far you've gone Or recognize who you've become When'd you grow to be so hard.... Sick of playing my part |

Once upon a time
Before the Lord, the skies they parted So a few must die To bring us back to where we started Two at a time (x4) Do what you're told Each and every kind were gathered up This tiny boat The future of the world For those that drowned, it made no sense They should've known, because we told them so Two at a time (x4) Do what you're told I can see the rains are coming To wash away the filth and vermin (vermin) Hand in hand, we'll watch them running Home Now it's summertime Long ago, the skies, they parted So a few have died To bring us back to where we started Two at a time (x4) Do what you're told |

Threw away your greatest hits
You left them here the day you split Your bass guitar and shag CD Well, they don't mean that much to me Right now I'm going through your things These days, I'm changing all my strings I'm gonna write you a letter I'm gonna write you a book I want to see your reaction I want to see how it looks From way up on your cloud Where you've been hiding out Are you getting somewhere? Or did you get lost in Amsterdam? You won't get too far from me Believing everything you read You're wasted in the great unknown And I am finally ready to dispose Of all your vintage clothes Your drugs and every secret code I'm gonna write you a letter I'm gonna write you a book I want to see your reaction I want to see how it looks From way up on your cloud Where you've been hiding out Are you getting somewhere? Or did you get lost in Amsterdam? From your red balloon, you were A super high tech jet fighter Floating over Planet Earth Come back down here, I'll show you where it hurts Take this bitter pill Is it easy to swallow? I'm gonna write you a letter I'm gonna write you a book I want to see your reaction I want to see how it looks From way up on your cloud Where you've been hiding out Are you getting somewhere? Or did you get lost in Amsterdam, Amsterdam? |

On your way to the best years of your life
Everyone's banging on their gongs The sooner you leave the sooner you're home Back in Massachusetts To your golden age where they tuck you in at night You didn't see it coming Now who you gonna wave to? This time you're not homecoming king Did you hear that? Have you heard that sound before? Do you even know where it is coming from? It's getting too loud It keeps on pushing you out Into the arms of 1994 You didn't see it coming Now who you gonna wave to? You're not homecoming king You stand on your own Wasn't what you hoped at all Do you still recall it Giving dead-arms in the hall? Stay right where you are You'll be half of who you were When you always would win So count the days till you give in Back to Massachusetts To your golden age where your crown is shining bright You didn't see it coming Now who you gonna wave to? This time you're not homecoming king Did you see it coming? Now who you gonna wave to? This time you're not homecoming king |

Say goodbye.
Lose your friends. Make them go. Don't need them around. Cause it's time. Lose your friends Make them go. Was never supposed to be like this. They were too weak. Too prone to break. Their needs too deep. Their skin too thin. By now you took what was to take. Tear it apart and start again. So go on, If this will make you happier. It got you this far. Did what you had to. You've wasted every moment Of your Saturdays And your Sundays. You're wasted from the boredom. Was never supposed to be Like your father said, "Just do what was done unto you, always." In your father's steps, You'll do what was done unto you. It won't be hard to start again. So go on, If this will make you happier. It got you this far. Do what you have to. And you're gone now. (Well you knew this would come) (And you've left me alone) And did it make you happier? (And you're lost and you're gone) (Don't take it so seriously) It wasn't that hard. (Go on, get going) (I'm fine on my own) Did what you had to. (And we got me this far) (Finally got it figured out) One more inch, You son of a bitch. You've been wasting my time, always. And now you're half awake. You bend 'til you break. And make the same mistakes, always. So go on, If this will make you happier. It got you this far. Do what you have to. And you're gone now. (Well you knew this would come) (And you've left me alone) And did it make you happier? (And you're lost and you're gone) (Don't take it so seriously) It wasn't that hard. (Go on, get going) (I'm fine on my own) Did what you had to. (And we got me this far) (Finally got it figured out) |

When we all had finally washed ashore
It was clear there was no one else around We declared a national holiday A chance to build it from the ground So far away from everyone And everything starts today Keep it together Can we keep it together We're singing a new song now And everything starts today Can we rise? Can we get along alright? Can we miss the storm that sucked the whole world in? And the boats went out at night And the choppers in the sky They searched but they could find no trace of us So far away from everyone And everything starts today Keep it together Can we keep it together We're singing a new song now And everything starts today The thunder struck, the clouds appeared Our fearless crew was not prepared And pretty soon the boats came for us Half a million strong We gathered arms and fired shells We built a wall around ourselves And pretty soon the spirit was a lot like What it used to be back home So far away from everyone And everything starts today Keep it together Can we keep it together We're singing a new song now And everything starts today |

You walked out when I asked you to stay
As usual you'll get your way You closed the door and stumbled down to the street Where you wring your hands And you drag your feet Where the words can't find you To crawl inside you I'm ringing all the warning bells Careful or you'll hurt yourself Others lie, lie, lie, they adore you I'll be the one to tell Careful or you'll hurt yourself Gonna try, try, try 'til the morning comes But you can't hide standing under these stars They know everything, they know where you are You're in your head, you're all turned around with it And they're shining down their light to bring you back again Back where I can find you To crawl inside you I'm ringing all the warning bells Careful or you'll hurt yourself Others lie, lie, lie, they adore you I'll be the one to tell Careful or you'll hurt yourself Gonna try, try, try 'til the morning All you want to see is make-believe, it's nothing But way down underneath I'm ringing all the warning bells Careful you don't hurt yourself Others lie, lie, lie, they adore you I'll be the one to tell Careful, you'll hurt yourself Gonna try, try, try 'til the morning comes |

Glad you made it, welcome to the farm

Let me keep you in this place you'll be better off this way I will keep you warm and safe, you'll be better off this way You learn to love the price you pay Trust me dear you're better off this way Put to bed the sun and sister moon I'll be hiding in your dirty room I'll go there seeking only what I need La de da we'll stay there 'til we bleed It's for sure Let me keep you in this place, you'll be better off this way I will keep you warm and safe, you'll be better off this way I will not wake you from your sleep, Leave you wandering counting sheep No more sad and sunshine days Trust me dear, you're better off this way You'll be selling books at the airport. |
