I'm Looking Through You (Original: Beatles)
I'm looking through you, where did you go I thought I knew you, what did I know You don't look different, but you have changed I'm looking through you, you're not the same Your lips are moving, I cannot hear Your voice is soothing, but the words aren't clear You don't sound differnt, I've learned the game. I'm looking through you, you're not the same Why, tell me why, did you not treat me Light? Love has a nasty habit of disappearing overnight You're thinking of me, the same old way You were above me, but not today The only difference is you're down there I'm looking through you, any other way |

from Zoolander (쥬랜더) by David Arnold [omnibus, ost] (2001)
I started a joke. Which started the whole world crying.
But I didn't see that the joke was on me. Oh, no, I started to cry. Which started the whole world laughing. Oh, if I'd only seen that the joke was on me. I looked at the skies. Running my hands over my eyes. And I fell out of bed. Hurting my heads from things that I said. Till I finally died. Which started the whole world living. Oh, if I'd only seen that the joke was on me. I looked at the skies. Running my hands over my eyes. And I fell out of bed. Hurting my head from things that I said. Till I finally died. Which started the whole world living. Oh, if I'd only seen that the joke was on me. Oh, no, that the joke was on me. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh |

I, I wish you could swim
Like the dolphins, like dolphins can swim Though nothing, nothing will keep us together We can beat them forever and ever We can be heroes, just for one day Oh I, I will be king And you, you will be queen Though nothing, nothing will drive them away We can be heroes, just for one day We can be, yes, it's just for one day I, I remember Standing by the wall The guns, they shot above our heads And we kissed, as though nothing could fall And the shame was on the other side Oh, we can beat them, forever and ever Then we could be heroes, just for one day We can be heroes We can be heroes We can be heroes We can be heroes, just for one day |

Slow down, You're breaking up
Use your words, Don't yell so much I don't understand a word they you're saying Now move in, Come up close You look like, You've maybe seen a ghost Tell me Has something gotten to you baby Now open up your arms Pick up your head Open your eyes So you can see What happens next *You won't believe Just how good it can get We'll make a lover Out of you yet The fog is so thick, I can't see my hands It got much worse Soon as I got in And I know you're somewhere Here in the water It's ten feet deep And the river won't stop I'll tell you what's in it When I make it across You could make it too If you let someone help you But you gotta give in And you gotta let go Then you can begin To come up slow Like a desert rose * Repeat Take a deep breath, And hold it in tight And put your face up Right into the light Can't you feel that full moon Shining down on you Help is coming From the great unknown Just maybe not When you needed it the most Cause I can see you already Know that you're leaving But I wish you'd stay And just let me in Cause everything can change But you gotta be ready Cause you won't know when * Repeat |

How soft a whisper can get
When your're walking through a Crowded space I hear every word being said And I remember that everyday I get a little bit closer to you How long an hour can take When you're staring into open space When I feel I'm slipping further away I remember that everyday I get a little bit closer to you These are the days That I won't get back I won't her you cry Or hear you laugh And when it's quiet And i don't hear a thing I can always her you breathe You know there's nowhere else I've wanted to be Than be there when you needed me I'm sorry too But don't give up on me And just remember that when you Were asleep I got a little bit closer to you |

My mind is open
And my heart is full I ain't got any weight That I can't pull And right now I know that anything Is possible I'm gonna hang my drum Blow my horn I forget what these pills I believe I won't need them anymore I used to burn candles At both ends Now I just throw the whole damn thing Right in Now playing in traffic is easy Once you learn Where you get in You wanna come with me Then get on board Get in or get out Use either door The future is calling And it's me That it's looking for *Cause it feels like summer again I was thinking that it just might never begin After winter and spring It's good to have the sun on my face again I wear big boots I know I do I ain't envious Of anybodies shoes I wear 'em loose Now maybe that's Why it bothers you I'm building my ship Stick by stick And where the waters get rough I'm getting in The motion of the waves It does not Make me sick * Repeat I buried my horse In a shallow grave I said a few things I had champagne That beast gave me everything That nobody gave I got high hopes Tomorrow come I won't look back On anything I just found out That my bird Can really sing... * Repeat |

If you could see yourself the way that I do
You might change a thing or two You wouldn't look so angry You'd know it doesnt look good on you So grab your coat And grab your hat There ain't no stayin if we're comin back Cause something's gone So terribly wrong Here in pleasantville Do you remember how we'd stay out so late We use to have so much fun We use to wish that the mornin' sun just would never come Look at us now We're tucked in tight We're just praying for a little light Cause something's gone So terribly wrong Here in pleasantville I need to tell you now as we leave That it's much worse than you would believe And no matter how far you've been The beginning, that's where you are So I'm using my last match I'll put a fire up on every hill And burn down Pleasantville We never did learn to use our voices We never thought we'd be heard The only way they'd ever listen If we scream every word Beause there ain't nothing in our walk That just aint the kind of luck that we got So let's move on Cause something's gone So terribly wrong Here in pleasantville |

So long ago I don't remember when
That's when they say I lost my only friend Well they said she died easy of a broken heart disease As I listened through the cemetery trees I seen the sun comin up at the funeral at dawn long broken arm of human law Now it always seemed such a waste She always had a pretty face So I wondered how she hung around this place Hey come on try a little Nothing is forever There's got to be something better than In the middle But me n Cinderella We put it all together We can drive it home With one headlight She said it's cold It feels like Independence Day And I can't break away from this parade But there's got to be an opening Somewhere here in front of me Through this maze of ugliness and greed I seen the sun up ahead At the county line bridge Sayin all there's good and nothingness is dead We'll run until she's out of breath She ran until there's nothin left She hit the end it's just her window ledge Hey come on try a little Nothing is forever There's got to be something better than In the middle But me n Cinderella We put it all together We can drive it home With one headlight Well this place is old It feels just like a beat up truck I turn the engine but the engine doesn't turn Well it smells of cheap wine n cigarettes This place is always such a mess Sometimes I think I'd like to watch it burn I'm so alone and I feel just like somebody else Man I ain't changed but I know I ain't the same But somewhere here in between the city walls of dyin dreams I think of death it must be killin me Hey Hey Hey come on try a little Nothing is forever There's got to be something better than In the middle But me n Cinderella We put it all together We can drive it home With one headlight |

Sirens ring, the shots ring out A stranger cries, screams out loud I had my world strapped against my back I held my hands, never knew how to act And the same black line that was drawn on you Was drawn on me And now it's drawn me in 6th Avenue heartache Below me was a homeless man Singin' songs I knew complete On the steps alone, his guitar in hand His fifty years, he stood where he stands And the same black line that was drawn on you Was drawn on me And now it's drawn me in 6th Avenue heartache And the same black line that was drawn on you Was drawn on me And now it's drawn me in 6th Avenue heartache Now walkin' home on those streets The river winds move my feet The subway steam, like silhouettes in dreams They stood by me, just like moonbeams And the same black line that was drawn on you Was drawn on me And now it's drawn me in 6th Avenue heartache And the same black line that was drawn on you Was drawn on me And now it's drawn me in 6th Avenue heartache Looked out the window, down upon that street And gone like a midnight was that man But I seen his six strings laid against that wall And all his things, they all look so small I got my fingers crossed on a shooting star Just like me- he just moved on And the same black line that was drawn on you Was drawn on me And now it's drawn me in 6th Avenue heartache And the same black line that was drawn on you Was drawn on me And now it's drawn me in 6th Avenue heartache And the same black line that was drawn on you Was drawn on me And now it's drawn me in 6th Avenue heartache

They called me the bleeder Well swimmin' up this river With sentimental fever But this ain't my first ride It ain't my last try Just got to keep a-movin' on If they catch me ever They'll throw me back forever I guess I should be ashamed But I forget to be vain Well I did the best I could I guess But everything just bleeds They say you're only sad and lonely And no one is impressed I sent it off in a letter I need somethin' better Than a nail and a hammer To put me back together But this ain't my first ride It ain't my last try Just got to keep a-movin on Got to keep this together Maybe next time is never I guess I should be ashamed But I forget to be vain Well I did the best I could I guess But everything just bleeds They say you're only sad and lonely And no one is impressed Sometimes I must confess I do feel a little over dressed Sometimes it's hard to tell the wishing from the well Where you threw the penny and where it fell I guess I should I should be ashamed But I forget to be vain Well I did the best I could I guess But everything just bleeds I guess I should be ashamed But I forget to be vain Well I did the best I could I guess But everything just bleeds They say you're only sad and lonely And no one is impressed |

Down by the water Tellin' riddles in the dark With fireflies under the moonlight Carvin' the insides of a tree with a knife Ever hear the one about the boy's big sister His best friend come along He tried to kiss her (CHORUS): The only difference That I see Is you are exactly the same As you used to be One boy lives in a tower With bow and arrow And the artificial heart With his girl Late in the summer He loaded the cannon With a jealous appetite They say that children now They come in all ages And maybe sometimes old men die With little boy faces (CHORUS) You always said that you needed some But you always had more, more than anyone (CHORUS) |

Lookin' back at the crash site
I don't see me by the roadside Well this heart is on wheels tonight Straight through the ghettos And without lights Now every heart has a blind side Where it learns how to improvise Well this place is a whorehouse tonight Cheap lovers make expensive wives Chorus: But all of these horses That you chase around In the end they are the ones That always bring you down This invisible city Where no one sees nothing We're touching faces in the dark Feelin' pretty is so hard Now all of these voices And all of these noises With all their illusions of choices They've come to my door With one dozen roses The imitation of good faith Is how you stumble upon hate It may have been the first of mistakes When we held on too loosely Then opened the gates (chorus) Now I try not to tell lies But there's pressures from inside So I've learned how to compromise Good people for alibis (chorus) |

You can't leave me here alive Well I know it started as a fist fight But you've got me covered up in hives I don't need an invitation The best peach is at the top of that tree But when all this indecision reigns So aimlessness that helps me see straight You got me walkin' up a tightrope With vaseline from my head to my feet You got me lookin' into blindfolds But I know you've got your hands all over me So when all these imitations fail Just don't look back 'cause I won't be there Chorus: Laughing out loud When I didn't ever know just what it was all about Laughing out loud When I didn't ever know just why you push me around Well I'm doing time inside a grapevine Little things amuse little minds Well, nothin's free except a little bit of bad advice On how to live on only water, bread and rice I don't need an invitation The best peach is at the top of that tree So when all this nighttime vision fails I'll lose all these chains and slip out of this jail (chorus) repeat |

Out of this swandive to your arms I make no sounds WhenI move thru your reservoirs I wake up quick I wake up sick As you abandon me Into these fields of rank and file Thru this cloudI hear you breathing Thru these barsI watch them bring more in NowI send back letters from the wasteland home Last slowdance to this romance on my own May take two to tango, but boy it takes one to let go It just takes one to let go. Now boy keep still Don't spread yourself around Get back in line Eat your bread And just work the ground 'Cause you're not through They're not done with with you Did you think you were The only one who's been let down So sleep tight little boys of the new dam Let them drop in the quicksand NowI send back letters from the wasteland home Last slowdance to this romance on my own May take two to tango, but boy it takes one to let go Now another bad idea gets thru Down they send me unto you Every bridgeI should have burned Every lesson i've unlearned When the smoke give way to ruins Incarcerated lovesick fools I wait for you to cut me loose But until then NowI send back letters from the wasteland home Last slowdance to this romance on my own May take two to tango, but boy it takes one to let go NowI send back letters from the wasteland home From whereI slowdance to this romance on my own |

And there you are Another year, another candle's burning for the party girl No one even knows that you're there Happy Birthday, no one cares You come around here, You'd better bring a witness Everyone in here's on the guest list And when you're gone you won't be missed Keep one eye open when you kiss Your wishes won't be coming true this year Now darling don't you cry We're going to teach you everything You'll learn to get by Now lesson number one in homicide is emotional murder is no crime You come around here, you'd better bring a witness Everyone in here's on the guest list And when you're gone you won't be missed Keep one eye open when you kiss Now sticks and stones, baby, break your bones But the names, in here, can kill We'd let you leave but no one else wants you Your ransom was not made Now you ain't got to stand up tall But now baby, you must stand up You come around here, you'd better bring a witness Everyone in here's on the guest list Now we've never been so impressed Keep one eye open when, whenever you kis |

We didn't make it
We did not pull through You shouldn't blame me I don't blame you Now what else did you think that I would do? ooooh as if it wasn't hard enough I'm so tired of waking up feeling bad You haven't been the kind of place I have Could it hurt you now to let this pass? oooooh as if it wasn't hard enough You want to make it so much harder Now in another world I could learn to forget But 'til then I'm here making room for new regrets Now some flowers they never bloom And some flowers just bloom dead The way you make me feel I could collapse An epidemic I cannot outlast How could you feel used when I feel trapped? ooooh as if it wasn't hard enough And just as my conscience starts to clear I drag the river and you're still there The way I bring you down could not compare ooooh as if it wasn't hard enough You want to make it so much harder Now in another world I could learn to forget But 'til then I'm here making room for new regrets Now some flowers they never bloom But some flowers just bloom dead Now some flowers they never bloom And some flowers just bloom dead The way I sleep this bed just can't be made I pull the covers up around my head Now when I think of me I think of somebody else instead As if it wasn't hard enough You're gonna make it so much harder Now in another world I could learn to forget But 'til then I'm here making room for new regrets Now some flowers they never bloom And some flowers just bloom dead Now some flowers they never bloom And some flowers they just bloom dead |

Well I'm down here in the well
Looking back up at the hill Well I thank heavens I fell Must look more like myself Now everyone is so kind Everyone looks like a long lost friend of mine I'm on top of the world again When I'm looking up from under Babylon I had a home in the fields Earned my wage in the factories there And I was raised by the mill And I worked with my brothers there I told my mother I'd always write I headed west for the coast with the big city lights Now mamma I'm so sorry I've forgotten But now I'm looking up from under Babylon Now tell me how far I've been And how deep was I in Tell me how I conceived The vanity to believe That I would not be outnumbered By the thumbs I have been under Now stray dogs in the street Learn how to beg, steal, borrow and cheat And in the dead summer heat I fell asleep with blood on my teeth But those days before I met you girl Were just ice cream falling down on the shoes of my world I'm so happy that you're my friend When we're looking up from under Babylon When we're looking up from under Babylon |

Never thought that I knew too much
I always thought I knew enough I didn't want to learn this stuff I didn't ever want to be that tough But love was just implied And everything else died This class has now begun In Murder 101 You can learn it in the first degree You could even make yourself believe That you'll never even think of me When you're packing up your things to leave Now my intuition failed I can't graduate unskilled They don't excuse the young This is Murder 101 Find yourself another heart that needs a rest Tie a hook onto a single thread Drop it down beneath the chest There's the first part of this test They'll grade you on a curve They're including everyone No matter what you've heard You know this class has now begun Drop out before they come To Murder one by one Just look what we've done In Murder 101 Just look what we've done In Murder 101 Just look what we've done This is Murder 101 Just look what we've done To Murder one by one |

So sad that you took it so badly
And acted so madly So scared like a baby by the morning with sunlight unfolding Your eyes have turned red And are holding me inside your story In the end you'll have started on a new one Of anguish and delusions He smiles just like a magician Who's just cast his illusions of castles and sandstones on the backbeach And bright lights within your reach The sounds of a warning by the morning of hound dogs coming for me With the ropes leading back to your knees And you looking straight at me On your knees in the rain with a basket of flowers just for me As the bells in the trees up above all swung and rang softly You said you rang them for me For me |

I need a bed
That nobodys slept in I need some air Nobodys been breathing I need a thought That I can believe in Is this fog Or is the building really burning I need you Much more than ever Im making new friends But none of them matter Maybe now We dont fit together But youve got your arms around No one but strangers I feel fine With the sun in my eyes The wind in my hair When Im falling out of this sky Im doing better than I thought I would But nothings ever as good As when youre on top I want to wake up And just start running Into a ditch Or straight up a mountain I want to get Where no one been gettin Make it deeper than hell Or make it higher than heaven I need someone whose price hasnt been met When everybodys disappearing By the minute There isnt anyone left I havent meet yet Well I remember When they hadnt gotten to you yet [chorus] Half way up And over this rainbow I heard a shot Fire up from a ghetto As I drop I didnt think youd follow Just didnt know The sky was this shallow I need a garden Where nothings forbidden I need an apple That no ones been eatin I want to start again Back at the beginnin I had a vision That this feeling maybe has an ending |

Slow down Youre breaking up Use your words Dont yell so much I dont understand a word That youre saying Now move in Come up close You look like Youve maybe seen a ghost Tell me Has someone gotten to you baby Now open your arms Pick up your head Open your eyes So you can see What happens next You wont believe Just how good it can get Well make a lover Out of you yet The fog is so thick I cant see my hands It got much worse Soon as I got in And I know youre somewhere Here in the water Its ten feet deep And the river wont stop Ill tell you whats in it When I make it across You could make it too If you let someone help you But you gotta give in And you gotta let go Then you can begin To come up slow Like a desert rose [chorus] Take a deep breath And hold it in tight And put your face up Right into the light Cant you feel that full moon Shining down on you Help is coming From the great unknown Just maybe not When you needed it most Cause I can see you already Know that youre leaving But I wish youd stay And just let me in Cause everything can change But you gotta be ready Cause you wont know when [chorus] |

How soft a whisper can get When youre walking through a crowded space I hear every word being said And I remember that everyday I get a little bit closer to you How long an hour can take When youre starting into open space When I feel Im slipping further away I remember that everyday I get a little bit closer to you These are the days That I wont get back I wont hear you cry Or hear you laugh And when its quite And I dont hear a thing I can always hear you breathe You know theres nowhere else Ive wanted to be Than be there when you need me Im sorry too But dont give up on me And just remember that when you get asleep I got a little bit closer to you |

On your mark
Get set lets go You got to move on Before she explodes Look out the window Lookout below Back away from the glass There she blows The citys been leveled Hills are in flames Streets cracked open And theyre pushin up clay Temperatures dropped Sky is grey And it aint even over Here comes drivin rain It aint me That you feel Theres something moving Around in here Thats blood Thats tears This aint a warning... Everybody out of the water Up on dry land Take what you can Cause you wont be here again Everybody out of the water Now Im treadin high water To get back to you Been looking for a low spot Or something to cling to Theres too many bodies Theres not enough room God help me And God help you They say nobody panic Help is on its way Were already on it Youve got to be brave If you can fix it now Then dont make us wait Man there aint nobody coming Back away from the gates That bell That you hear Thats hell Ringing in your ears I fear That my dear This aint a warning [chorus] Now Im looking up And the shit keeps coming Like shooting ducks In a barrel of honey Got to learn how to pray Love wont be enough Admit it now Your information sucks As I slip Down in I think of us someplace High on a mountain Smoke clears Fog lifts Little by little We rebuild again Till then |

Theres three ways out of every box
Fall out the bottom Or you crawl out the top Theres three ways Out of every, every box But if you cant find your way out Then you just burn it To the ground Then youll disappear Like smoke Into the clouds Theres three ways off a merry-go-round You either jump Or you let it slow down Theres three ways Off a merry-go, merry-go round But if you cant put your foot down Then you just burn it To the ground Then you walk away Real slow Back into the crowd Theres always somebody there for a laugh Then youre the only one Thats left Now thats what you get Left behind in the wreck Theres three ways off a burning bridge You pray for rain Or you learn how to swim Theres three ways off of every Burning bridge But if you cant find strength And you quit Then you can just burn up And sink Then youll drift away Real slow Down into the ground |

Takes all my might
To find a hole that feels right To bury myself In a deep sleep at night I hear a voice Coming from the hillside Says Ill show you the way I will show you the light But Im tired Im tired Im much too tired Im tired Hes says I know where you were headed And youre half way there But youve got to be careful Youve got to beware Some people want to hurt you Some people dont care But Im never gonna give you Any more than you can bare [chorus] Theres nothing left here to rise above Were not talking bout that kind of love Youve got people here counting on you Nows a good time To learn how to pull through Sometimes a good idea Just isnt enough Youve got to do the work Now get your ass up There isnt really such a thing as bad luck Yeah, but once I shot an arrow In the sky and it stuck [chorus] Youve got to keep movin Youve got to keep pushin Youre never gonna get back Anymore than youre givin Life is for the living Youve got to be willin A song aint a song Until someone starts singin [chorus] |

That aint a parachute
That aint a rip cord That aint a body of water Were headed for Theres so little time left So much to be done Even you are gonna need someone That aint a trick of light Or the morning haze Coming in from the lake Getting into your eyes Its the invisible breath Of a storm on the rise That I feel whenever you arrive Now I may not be quick Maybe never was But tell me what the hell it is That youve become Baby if you never got sick I wouldnt get to hold you Baby if you never got sick I would never get to hold you This aint a righteous love Even a good one These aint the kinds of return That I was thinking of Im unbearable now You aint seen nothing yet Youll se me dead Before you see me quit That aint a jug of wine That youve been drinking from Now lay back now baby Let your fever come I will bury you in Just to dig you out I havent a use For being proud [chorus] I followed you deep into a barren field There was someone you were running from When I needed to sleep Thats when you disappeared But I did get the impossible done Now I always knew There was God inside you I just never did learn which one [chorus] |

Maybe it's not
That I don't care anymore Maybe I just never did You can't say That I have ever lied Because I keep the truth well hid Tell me what's wrong Is something wrong? You can't be sad When something you have never had Suddenly feels gone I wish you health I wish happiness But absolutely nothing else I'm not here to keep an eye on you I think you misunderstood I could make things easy for you I won't But I could Does that make you sad? Cause you look sad You should be glad For what you've had And don't feel bad I could wish less for you I wish you health I wish you happiness But absolutely nothing else There is no distance here To get across There's nothing to grip Or get a hold The emptiness you feel Is nothing at all Now nobody broke any bones It could be worse Yeah, it can get worse You've got your strength And you have got your health You should be worried 'bout Somebody else |

We'd feel much better if we sunk this treasure
And laid our armor down These precious metals and these captain's letters They are no use to us now In the day we struggle with fatigue much greater Than any offer was We bow down and worship these bandits and cowboys Unable to hold their own guns I know that soldiers are not paid to think But something is making us sick Onward and steady Able and young In the valley of the low low sun In the shade we wander along a highway's shoulder Into the back of beyond Burning the daylight into a pastime That's too wise to come more than once It's boom boom thunder ain't no sleep coming Out mining a slippery world Of snow covered beaches and junkyards of diesel And bombers named after girls On bridges of black ice not built for the rush There's a new kind of beast getting up That's stranger than fiction Speaking in tongue In the valley of the low low sun Hold on for the slow turning Smoke if you've got 'em boys This is bottom hiding out Down under the stairs Tomorrow has come Like it's drunk on the blood Of the men who have dared to be there The earth's still climbing as it keeps on grinding It's way up around the sun As cool water crashes down to the masses bootlegged and bottled like rum My dreams are humble lean as arrows Streetwise ready and fair As we bum rush the ages tied to the rails On high seas not fit to be sailed Whatever we've taken does feel like heaven But baby we just look like hell Act like you mean it where paradise was In the valley of the low low sun Act like you mean it where paradise was In the valley of low low sun |

Down in your rabbit hole The evening of our great escape Is starting to unfold Out of bed sleepy head It's different than you know Everybody pays as they go You've got to pull yourself together Your chin up off your throat Whistle for the dogs And get your sled into the snow Nothing's ever buried Under skull and bones Everybody pays as they go The playing field is level But it's ugly down below It's a devil of a handbook hi ho hi ho Either you're the butcher Or the lamb but even so Everybody pays as they go The future busted open wide and ran Like a beehive loaded with sand You can't go back and see it The way you saw it then Nobody can Look up and see the men returning In their winter coats Some of them in one piece Some of them got rolled Some less than others Some right through the nose But everybody pays as they go Young old rich and poor Your mother she too owes Cuz everybody pays as they go |

I made a promise to not let go
Our tug of war has only made me want you more Steeped in hard luck and doomed to roam My love is braver than you know My forefathers they worked this land And I was schooled in the tyranny of nature's plans Dressed in thunder a cloud came round In the shape of a lion a hand came down Damn this valley And damn this cold Takes so long to let me know It's plant and reap and plow and sow But tell me will it grow Dig my ditches in the golden sun I'd be robbing these trains if I could catch me one Sunday Monday now Tuesday's gone Got me stone cold sober and a drought so long Boarded mansions and ghost filled yards There's a boy in a water tower counting cars Steel traps open and empty stalls There's a well-worn saddle but the horse is gone Damn this valley And damn this cold Take so long to let me know It's plant and reap and plow and sow But tell me will it grow? (Will it grow?) Jet black starlit midnight rolls I am down in the garden where I let you go Up on the surface the earth looks round But it's a godless city of cold flat ground Damn this valley And damn this cold Take so long to let me know It's plant and reap and plow and sow But tell me will it grow? |

On the fourth of July Under a banner of roman candles Mother war is kind Like hell but I am fine Brother have you gone west Have you followed through once yet You are still younger how dare you forget Brother war is best In the morning when you've had restLike a lost dog between houses In the unknown open country Line up at dawn to see who's missing My age is a metaphor It only speaks of everything beforeDaughter you wear my name Those are my eyes keep 'em raised I may have scars but I give more than I take Daughter war is safe Where you are far away Lover are you gone My heart has taken too much on One octave lower than thunder it drums lover war is done In more ways than just oneLike a lost dog between houses In the unknown open country Like an outlaw now standing At the foot of infinity The sun is wild And just in front of me |

I was born in the summer of Sam
Smaller and sooner than planned In the spitting image of a man Raised by wolves on the fat of the land Clear of romance beauty and damned Tomorrow will come if she can Just want a woman who can walk on a wire With a trembling glass in her hand Over the hilltops the fire engine rolls Down the valley deeper still it goes Got my weapons out laying low On this end of the telescopeAlone you ramble the whole of the world Through black water jungles for bliss It's feast or famine you eat what you kill There's no need to bring God in to this My heart is heavy and pressed to the bond Some people too heavy to hold Salutations take me as I am You can have me or leave me alone Sun kissed lemons in the graveyard below Here in death you see new adventures grow I see you at last but most a ghost On this end of the telescopeThis will not be easy Word's out the doctor is not coming in This genie's too angry to go back Into the bottle againCloser than ever covered in birds A bone colored moon fills the west Throats will be slashed and flags will unfurl As time will divide us in gangs Years of progress digging the sand Companions we made didn't last Lousy lovers do well with their hands But I'll reach you like nobody can Slow and easy you let your paddle go Down a the bottom there is more hell to row I see clear at last I love I loathe On this end of the telescope |

We'd feel much better if we sunk this treasure And laid our armor down These precious metals and these captain's letters They are no use to us now In the day we struggle with fatigue much greater Than any offer was We bow down and worship these bandits and cowboys Unable to hold their own guns I know that soldiers are not paid to think But something is making us sick Onward and steady Able and young In the valley of the low, low sun In the shade we wander along a highway's shoulder Into the back of beyond Burning the daylight into a pastime That's too wise to come more than once It's boom boom thunder ain't no sleep coming Out mining a slippery world Of snow covered beaches and junkyards of diesel And bombers named after girls On bridges of black ice not built for the rush There's a new kind of beast getting up That's stranger than fiction Speaking in tongue In the valley of the low, low sun Hold on for the slow turning Smoke if you've got 'em boys This is bottom hiding out Down under the stairs Tomorrow has come Like it's drunk on the blood Of the men who have dared to be there The earth's still climbing as it keeps on grinding Its way up around the sun As cool water crashes down to the masses Bootlegged and bottled like rum My dreams are humble, lean as arrows Streetwise, ready, and fair As we bum rush the ages tied to the rails On high seas not fit to be sailed Whatever we've taken does feel like heaven But baby, we just look like hell Act like you mean it where paradise was In the valley of the low, low sun Act like you mean it where paradise was In the valley of the low, low sun |

I been working double shift all night Bees make honey I'm making mine Good men are busy all the time I been working double shift all night My line of work suits me fine Split that apple and chuck that rind Pull no wishbone that ain't dry My line of work suits me fine Sweet you ramble sweet you roll Through the bedrock of my soul I got more good luck than I'll ever use All day and all night like a mule Fat faced farmer off my land Cross me twice you'll understand Me and Delia we're more than friends Fat faced farmer off my land See how high your monkey jumps Peel that fruit back and give me some Let this evening do what it does And see how high your monkey jumps I'm gearing up to get small I do it big or don't do it at all Ain't got no baggage that I can't use All day and all night like a mule It's on back to work they say Pull your hammer high and straight Lay your boards out and drag that rake And get on back to work they say Give what you've got return what you use Tell me young man whose dog are you Got bigger secrets than you do All day and all night like a mule |

Worried 'bout you baby Down in your rabbit hole The evening of our great escape Is starting to unfold Out of bed sleepy head It's different than you know Everybody pays as they go You've got to pull yourself together Your chin up off your throat Whistle for the dogs And get your sled into the snow Nothing's ever buried Under skull and bones Everybody pays as they go The playing field is level But it's ugly down below It's a devil of a handbook hi ho hi ho Either you're the butcher Or the lamb but even so Everybody pays as they go The future busted open wide and ran Like a beehive loaded with sand You can't go back and see it The way you saw it then Nobody can Look up and see the men returning In their winter coats Some of them in one piece Some of them got rolled Some less than others Some right through the nose But everybody pays as they go Young old rich and poor Your mother she too owes Cuz everybody pays as they go |

I made a promise to not let go Our tug of war has only made me want you more Steeped in hard luck and doomed to roam My love is braver than you know My forefathers they worked this land And I was schooled in the tyranny of nature's plans Dressed in thunder a cloud came round In the shape of a lion a hand came down Damn this valley Damn this cold Take so long to let me know It's plant and reap and plow and sow But tell me will it grow Dig my ditches in the golden sun I'd be robbing these trains if I could catch me one Sunday Monday now Tuesday's gone Got me stone cold sober n a drought so long Boarded mansions and ghost filled yards There's a boy in a water tower counting cars Steel traps open and empty stalls There's a well-worn saddle but the horse is gone Damn this valley Damn this cold Take so long to let me know It's plant and reap and plow and sow But tell me will it grow Jet black starlit midnight rolls I am down in the garden where I let go Here on the surface the earth looks round But it's a godless city of cold flat ground Damn this valley Damn this cold Take so long to let me know It's plant and reap and plow and sow But tell me will it grow |

In my mind's eye
A plantation In the clearing Is a platform station In the distance Is a kingdom In to the front line Is how I'm coming They say in war All is fair I'm heading to the field In spite of my condition Whatever you thought Whatever you thought You know I told you I couldn't stop Now through the desert Out to the sea Weather-beaten Through all four seasons And there is love In my creation I've come back For all the right reasons I aint your castle You're not a queen It isn't yours That you're so busy there protecting Whatever you thought Whatever you thought You know I told you I couldn't stop All this beauty Is sticky sweet This naughty world Is due for good deeds Give me your poor Your tired masses Bring me the head Of the mule in my glasses Sing that lonesome high melody Roamin young man, The horror behind me Whatever you thought Whatever you thought You know I told you I couldn't stop |

Mother you saw my eyes On the fourth of July Under a banner of roman candles Mother war is kind Like hell but I am fine Brother have you gone west Have you followed through once yet You are still younger how dare you forget Brother war is best In the morning when you've had rest Like a lost dog between houses In the unknown open country Line up at dawn to see who's missing My age is a metaphor It only speaks of everything before Daughter you wear my name Those are my eyes keep 'em raised I may have scars but I give more than I take Daughter war is safe Where you are far away Lover are you gone My heart has taken too much on One octave lower than thunder it drums lover war is done In more ways than just one Like a lost dog between houses In the unknown open country Like an outlaw now standing At the foot of infinity The sun is wild And just in front of me |

You're old enough to know well The better things are all up hill Bitter songs are never sung In the highlands where you belong In the smoke of cannons below Men they bury each other in rows People come people go Work in numbers and leave alone There's a light making its way On up the mountain night and day You'll get tired and you'll get weak But you won't abandon your masterpiece Off to sleep you'll go Through the halls and opened doors Silver bells swinging low Strung in branches of the unknown Soon morning comes To warm the world and wake you up Night is gone awful fast It ain't wrong to be sad There's a light making its way On up the mountain night and day You'll go down and you'll go deep But you won't surrender your masterpiece Here it comes and there it goes The unbearable sound of the earth making men out of boys First you learn then you'll teach About the bright bright light Making its way On up the mountain night and day You'll get tired and you'll get weak But you won't abandon your masterpiece There's a light making its way On up the mountain night and day You'll go down and you'll go deep But you won't surrender your masterpiece You will deliver your masterpiece |

I was born in the summer of Sam Smaller and sooner than planned In the spitting image of a man Raised by wolves on the fat of the land Clear of romance beauty and damned Tomorrow will come if she can Just want a woman who can walk on a wire With a trembling glass in her hand Over the hilltops the fire engine rolls Down the valley deeper still it goes Got my weapons out laying low On this end of the telescope Alone you ramble the whole of the world Through black water jungles for bliss It's feast or famine you eat what you kill There's no need to bring God in to this My heart is heavy and pressed to the bond Some people too heavy to hold Salutations take me as I am You can have me or leave me alone Sun kissed lemons in the graveyard below Here in death you see new adventures grow I see you at last but most a ghost On this end of the telescope This will not be easy Word's out the doctor is not coming in This genie's too angry to go back Into the bottle again Closer than ever covered in birds A bone colored moon fills the west Throats will be slashed and flags will unfurl As time will divide us in gangs Years of progress digging the sand Companions we made didn't last Lousy lovers do well with their hands But I'll reach you like nobody can Slow and easy you let your paddle go Down a the bottom there is more hell to row I see clear at last I love I loathe On this end of the telescope |

Cherry picking through the stars
And falling cannonballs Waiting for the break of dawn To start its morning crawl Polluted rays of filtered light Tropical and warm Making shadows through The snow white resin covered skulls Happy birthday to the war Standing by the wall A rainbow made of stars Under seven different shades of grey Spreading out across the arc Days of wonder spent Out there killing time Now this may not leave a mark on me But I sure as hell was there Caravanning on the moonlit Locust covered trail we came out like a stream of bats exploding from the well slipping through the whirlpools of trees and floating cars behind a winter coated mule down record breaking falls Into oblivion's open jaws standing by the wall a rainbow made of stars under seven different shades of grey spreading out across the arc days of wonder spent out there killing time now this may not leave a mark on me but I sure as hell was there Happy birthday to the war Days of wonder spent by a rainbow made of stars under seven different shades of grey spreading out across the arc standing by the wall out there killing time now this may not leave a mark on me but I sure as hell was there Educated under God to walk a neutral line give me neither poverty nor riches in my time take my body and my mind my heart is far behind with one dozen poems in my ear ricocheting wild |

> Permission now to let this thing land
I'm too far gone to know where I am Conditions are worse than we planned Permission now to let this thing land Heading straight into the blackness Beyond the point of ever turning back Slipping off the radar through a hole in space Goes the passenger sitting backwards Adam took the apple, I was not involved I'm not responsible for how lost we are Batten down the hatches, extinction calls But Adam took the apple, I was not involved Heading straight into the blackness Way beyond the point of ever turning back Slipping off the radar through a hole in space Goes the passenger sitting backwards Maybe a rumble Maybe nothing more Maybe a thunder There before she blows Maybe not a big bang But just a little white noise Into the furnace of red twilight Threading like a needle through searchlights Fading further and spinning right Into the furnace of red twilight Heading straight into the blackness Too far gone, now there's no turning back Slipping off the radar through a hole in space Goes the passenger sitting backwards |

Tomorrow is gonna make you cry
It's gonna to make you kneel Before it breaks you from inside Still pressing on Arm over arm Still trying to get both feet back onto the ground They are harvesting these fields in autumn. We're different now than when we started I am ready to wake up There in the exodus On the beautiful side of somewhere baby There on the pavement Underneath the yellow moon I think of you And just how easily we bruise The folded address in my pocket i have stuffed Trying to believe for you That the bottom didn't drop I am on the platform Covered with dust I pray they take the both of us I am ready to wake up There in the exodus On the beautiful side of somewhere baby I am ready to come down To see us both somehow On the beautiful side of somewhere someday |

Here comes your drunken marionette
Dragging his mess of threads There at the bar pulling smoke to his lungs He says, "Who will ignore me when you're gone?" Now come on lift me up I wanna dance by your tin cup A tower of beauty with a split in your tongue "Who will ignore me when you're gone" He says, "who will ignore me when you're gone?" Here he comes Here he comes Be still the wooden heart that wouldn't ever part, with the drunken marionette Been mainlining bad thoughts Been drinking things I wish I'd not Intoxicated with sad songs "Who will forgive you when I'm gone?" They sing Auld Lang Syne I've got mutiny on my mind A guilty conscience means at least you've got one "Who will forgive you when I'm gone?" He says, "who will forgive you when I'm gone?" Here he comes Here he comes Be still the wooden heart, that wouldn't ever part Who's waiting on a spark that hasn't happened yet For the drunken marionette carry on and turn the lights low when you go in the hours left I hope you feel the things that I know I won't what you give is what you get These days I worry about your debt Who carries evil out, evil will come "Who will defend you when I'm gone" He says, "who will defend you when I'm gone?" here he comes here he comes Be still the wooden heart, that wouldn't ever part Who's waiting on a spark that hasn't happened yet Here he comes here he comes Be still the wooden heart, that wouldn't ever part Who's waiting on a spark That hasn't happened yet for the drunken marionette |

Quarter moon on a city grown thick
With good advice that won't stick From the ballrooms to the suburbs And the abandoned mines Atlantis may be rising but we're all out of time Colored lights on the fire escape bodies move behind drapes And the light is uneven and we're safer in pairs And we're no match for what is waiting For each of us out there Whistle, baby while we walk don't say anything, do not talk The journey is over, it is time to exhale Wherever we were going We're already there It's over the turnstiles and through the guardrails and into Washington Square Cause no amount of nightmares would ever compare To the thought of only silence in this ghost-filled air Whistle, baby while we walk Now don't say anything, do not talk The journey is over, it's too late to prepare Why can't you see that, baby We're already there Here comes your silhouette and more pillow talk Here comes the ticking of these clocks They say the quickest way to end a war is just to lose Another chamber locks and I already withdrew Here comes the booming and the hunger of each night Here comes the burden of might this day was not divinely made to leave you impressed We may become someone someday, but we haven't yet Whistle, baby, while we walk Now don't say anything, do not talk The journey is over, it is time to repair Whatever we were building Baby, we're already there |

Seems like the world's gone underground No gods or heroes Dare to go down Tear drops from a hole in heaven come Overhead like ravens Dropping down like bombs Through the mornings silver frosted glow God says nothing back But I told you so I told you so God bless the void Of my daydreams Back in the snow Making angel wings Slow motion dancing lights have gone Sail beneath the burning yellow sun I'm calling out to the deep ends of my bones Time says nothing back But I told you so I told you so Still waters rising in my mind Black and deep Smoke behind my eyes Last night I could not sleep at all I hallucinated that you were in my arms To be in your heart I filled my own Love says nothing back But I told you so I told you so I'm still here And climbing every rung If someone saw something Now Someone speak up Back over the rotted bridge I cross Open up these graves Let these bodies talk I'm Burried under leaves blood red and gold Death says nothing back But I told you so I told you so....

Feels like a ghost here in this room
Well not the kind that rides a saddle in a costume All around me, all around you In from the window for a drag of your perfume Let's move back to California Let's make a promise, baby let's both be there Put our feet deep in the sand This garden's only got four corners Back to your trenches back to California The days keep coming and the years overlap Been crawling all over each other like wet cats Hear the rebels yelling out in the dunes I don't think it's half as a funny as I used to Lets move back to CA Lets make a promise, baby let's both be there Put our feet deep in the sand Let's leave behind these maps and handguns We're on our way back to California We've got California in our eyes Come on catch us if you can with California in our eyes Passing down through a valley full of lost sheep Straight is the gate, narrow is the walkway Mercury rising and poppies in bloom This is the kind of thing that I can get used to Lets move back to California Lets make a promise, baby let's both be there Put our feet deep in the sand There's still no shortage in creating bad blood We're on our way back to California We've got California in our eyes Come on and catch us if you can with California in our eyes As fast as we can Back to California, Come on catch us if you can, back to California fast as we can Back to California |

I'm here by my window
I am waiting for your parade I will salute you From above the crowd As you make your way You won the battle baby You've won the war I admit it now I could not give any more My condition is your reward I am a building Here without doors The altitude is now Getting to me As they applaud you On the boulevard The whole valley looks like Someone's body All the people look like Little scars This day is taking Forever I will never say Never say never again The flesh around me Is only pretend Return to sender Every letter That is yours I am sure That I am a building Here without doors Fire blazing On the overpass Cattle grazing In field of dead grass Last summer was earthquake weather By November This too should have passed I am not moving I am landlocked I am looking through A thousand windows spread across A thousand floors There in a landfill Where Eden was before But not anymore I am a building Here without doors Did you see me waving to you from above Things are looking clear now My eyes are wide enough to see the way a sniper does Behind the barrel of a good gun For worse or better I surrender It may not matter But I'm sadder than you'll ever know I am your inferno Here all in yellow With embers blowing north No sense in returning I'm not worried anymore I am a building that is here without doors I am a building That is here without doors |

Fire on the porch on a summer's night
All of my things are there inside Black smoke rise up, burn on burn higher I smell leaves and burning tires Dogs in the meadows barking wild Blackbird rise up, tell me what have you done I'm not drunk and I'm not sad There's nothing inside that I want back Let me touch your lips, let me see where you're at Do you wonder how I am tonight Then don't lose time looking in my eyes Not every tear means you're gonna cry From the bottom of my heart Comes a cold dark feeling There is nothing but dust In the layers I'm peeling From the bottom of my heart Beats a rattling drum Marching back up the steps Into the rays of the sun Under crushing skies of grays Paralyzed with phantom pains Before this room became just a place Where I just sleep through endless days Spinning webs and carving names Where thoughts break up, exploding in space But I once crossed a quarter mile Through black pools of razor wire And cut through steel With the edge of a file While singing rhapsodies in stride Hellbent and dignified Now my time has come Who you fooling and why? From the bottom of my heart Comes a cold dark feeling There is eminent death To the promise I'm keeping From the bottom of my heart Comes an army of one Marching back up the steps Into the rays of the sun Pale-faced and hollowed eyes Buried under ruptured skies Not every smile Means I'm laughing inside Two-faced and compromised I've enraptured you with lies Everything means nothing And tonight everything is mine From the bottom of my heart Comes a cold dark feeling I have buried so much In the layers I'm peeling From the bottom of my heart A battle will come Coming up from the depths Into the rays of the sun From the bottom of my heart Comes a cold dark feeling Wrapped around tight With no sign of leaving From the bottom of my heart A ballad is sung Through a whisper she comes Into the rays of the sun |

Last night I dreamt one thousand lies
I could see the dawn through a different set of eyes There in my slumber passing time Long live the world resting on its side I walked the orchard with you Your hand in mine In the evergreens drinking wine I saw the snow fall in black and white From the auburn sky Last night I lived more than one thousand lives Not one of them survived Up through the earth and at dawn I came I crossed the kingdom through venom pouring rain In the vacuum of my own brigade Resurrected to make you mine again Orpheus looked back once She sailed the underworld No second chances will be earned I have returned as a phantom now To walk the bow and stern Last night I lived more than one thousand lives Not one of them survived If we could do better I know that we would Maybe admit it now, we're not that good We keep the needle between zero and one You play your fiddle, baby, I'll play dumb Into the pastures of our minds Goes my nearly beloved and I Blazing two parallel white lines Through this broken heart split open wide Time may be on my side But it's mostly far behind I was the apple of your eye Now I'm the boy spinning on a wheel there Stuck with knives Last night I lived more than one thousand lives Not one of them survived |

You'd have a wonderful day
If you could see how lucky you are Now don't get carried away with your heart You're better where you are You're not the only one Who's failed to hang on to a moving star Now don't be sorry, what's done now is done And this is who you are These days feel numbered and long There's no one to speak of There's no one at all But you're not the reason that everyone's gone That's not how they are There's no system to change No conditions are made No permissions to start Now don't go drawing lines in the sand That's not who you are Sometimes a high wall, is just a wall Sometimes it's only there to make sure you feel small Or may be there to save you from the depths of a much deeper fall The truth will not set you free It's okay to believe that you're not good enough God is not angry, not blind, deaf or dumb He knows how far you've come |

New heaven over a brand new sky
New breed of wonder on the vine Among the living There is new promise in this night New arms to hold back the revolution New eyes to recognize what you've become New blood to recover A new will to honor all God's creations All things are new again Within and without All things are new again New shepherd roaming through the tall grass A new temple rising through the falling ash That buries the tracks Of millions of boots marching in packs Clear water rolling through the dam's collapse Out to the harbor where they're sailing back New flag on the mast Without any secrets, without any past All things are new again Within and without Sooner or later the ending begins Just then it can be said that all things are new again New ghost returning to the earth beneath the haze New poets burning through the lines of every page I'm an unpainted portrait I am staring at a new sunset Without any memories yet All things are new again Within and without Sooner or later the ending begins Just then it can be said that all things are new again Within and without Sooner or later every season ends Then forever it can be said that all things are new again |

So long ago I don't remember when
That's when they say I lost my only friend Well they said she died easy of a broken heart disease As I listened through the cemetery trees I seen the sun comin up at the funeral at dawn long broken arm of human law Now it always seemed such a waste She always had a pretty face So I wondered how she hung around this place Hey come on try a little Nothing is forever There's got to be something better than In the middle But me n Cinderella We put it all together We can drive it home With one headlight She said it's cold It feels like Independence Day And I can't break away from this parade But there's got to be an opening Somewhere here in front of me Through this maze of ugliness and greed I seen the sun up ahead At the county line bridge Sayin all there's good and nothingness is dead We'll run until she's out of breath She ran until there's nothin left She hit the end it's just her window ledge Hey come on try a little Nothing is forever There's got to be something better than In the middle But me n Cinderella We put it all together We can drive it home With one headlight Well this place is old It feels just like a beat up truck I turn the engine but the engine doesn't turn Well it smells of cheap wine n cigarettes This place is always such a mess Sometimes I think I'd like to watch it burn I'm so alone and I feel just like somebody else Man I ain't changed but I know I ain't the same But somewhere here in between the city walls of dyin dreams I think of death it must be killin me Hey Hey Hey come on try a little Nothing is forever There's got to be something better than In the middle But me n Cinderella We put it all together We can drive it home With one headlight |

Sirens ring, the shots ring out
A stranger cries, screams out loud I had my world strapped against my back I held my hands, never knew how to act And the same black line that was drawn on you Was drawn on me And now it's drawn me in 6th Avenue heartache Below me was a homeless man Singin' songs I knew complete On the steps alone, his guitar in hand His fifty years, he stood where he stands And the same black line that was drawn on you Was drawn on me And now it's drawn me in 6th Avenue heartache And the same black line that was drawn on you Was drawn on me And now it's drawn me in 6th Avenue heartache Now walkin' home on those streets The river winds move my feet The subway steam, like silhouettes in dreams They stood by me, just like moonbeams And the same black line that was drawn on you Was drawn on me And now it's drawn me in 6th Avenue heartache And the same black line that was drawn on you Was drawn on me And now it's drawn me in 6th Avenue heartache Looked out the window, down upon that street And gone like a midnight was that man But I seen his six strings laid against that wall And all his things, they all look so small I got my fingers crossed on a shooting star Just like me- he just moved on And the same black line that was drawn on you Was drawn on me And now it's drawn me in 6th Avenue heartache And the same black line that was drawn on you Was drawn on me And now it's drawn me in 6th Avenue heartache And the same black line that was drawn on you Was drawn on me And now it's drawn me in 6th Avenue heartache |

She gone and dyed her hair red She only went and did what she did 'Cause he would drive her home then There's lipstick on her new dress She hadn't even paid yet But it doesn't matter where the money went It wasn't how she paid her rent One, two, three Marlenas There's got to be someone we can trust Out here among us Now lookin' out across the city lights She thought they'd be a good pair Now he could make a living sellin' cars Maybe she could work there She's gonna pick a star in the night And pray to make it all right She tried so hard not to pick a kite She always prayed to heaven lights One, two, three Marlenas There's got to be someone we can trust Out here among us One, two, three Marlenas It's see no, speak no, hear no evil about us The three Marlenas Man, I think I'm gonna buy myself a Rolls Maybe a Chevrolet One where I can pull that top down Just let my radio play Now I'm headin' out on that highway I'm goin' right out of state Now I ain't lookin' back until I'm gone Right through heaven's gates One, two, three Marlenas There's got to be someone we can trust Out here among us One, two, three Marlenas Ya see no, speak no, hear no evil among us The three Marlenas Three Marlenas Three Marlenas |

One, two boys by the river Down by the water Tellin' riddles in the dark With fireflies under the moonlight Carvin' the insides of a tree with a knife Ever hear the one about the boy's big sister His best friend come along He tried to kiss her (CHORUS): The only difference That I see Is you are exactly the same As you used to be One boy lives in a tower With bow and arrow And the artificial heart With his girl Late in the summer He loaded the cannon With a jealous appetite They say that children now They come in all ages And maybe sometimes old men die With little boy faces (CHORUS) You always said that you needed some But you always had more, more than anyone (CHORUS) |

Lookin' back at the crash site I don't see me by the roadside Well this heart is on wheels tonight Straight through the ghettos And without lights Now every heart has a blind side Where it learns how to improvise Well this place is a whorehouse tonight Cheap lovers make expensive wives Chorus: But all of these horses That you chase around In the end they are the ones That always bring you down This invisible city Where no one sees nothing We're touching faces in the dark Feelin' pretty is so hard Now all of these voices And all of these noises With all their illusions of choices They've come to my door With one dozen roses The imitation of good faith Is how you stumble upon hate It may have been the first of mistakes When we held on too loosely Then opened the gates (chorus) Now I try not to tell lies But there's pressures from inside So I've learned how to compromise Good people for alibis (chorus) |

Now coming down Out of this swandive to your arms I make no sounds WhenI move thru your reservoirs I wake up quick I wake up sick As you abandon me Into these fields of rank and file Thru this cloudI hear you breathing Thru these barsI watch them bring more in NowI send back letters from the wasteland home Last slowdance to this romance on my own May take two to tango, but boy it takes one to let go It just takes one to let go. Now boy keep still Don't spread yourself around Get back in line Eat your bread And just work the ground 'Cause you're not through They're not done with with you Did you think you were The only one who's been let down So sleep tight little boys of the new dam Let them drop in the quicksand NowI send back letters from the wasteland home Last slowdance to this romance on my own May take two to tango, but boy it takes one to let go Now another bad idea gets thru Down they send me unto you Every bridgeI should have burned Every lesson i've unlearned When the smoke give way to ruins Incarcerated lovesick fools I wait for you to cut me loose But until then NowI send back letters from the wasteland home Last slowdance to this romance on my own May take two to tango, but boy it takes one to let go NowI send back letters from the wasteland home From whereI slowdance to this romance on my own |

Whatever I know too much You won't be anyone Now tell me what you are thinking of How could think you'd be enough It's not that you've stayed too long It's not that you've done something wrong It's not your fault But you embarrass yourself Hand me down It's better when you're not around You feel good And you look like you should But you will never make us proud You've been used by a army of cues You've been touched by the lips of a queen Now we've all made good use of you But you won't be needed again So don't you move and let someone else in Make some room for a new harlequin It's never enough So don't disappoint us again Hand me down It's better when you're not around You feel good And you look like you should But you won't ever make us proud Hand me down It's better when you're not around You feel good And you look like you should But you could never make us proud Hand me down So look at you with your worn out shoes Livin' proof evolution's through We're stuck with you This revolution's due Hand me down It's better when you're not around You feel good And you look like you should But you could never make us proud Hand me down It's better when you're not around You feel good And you look like you should But you won't ever make us proud |

Maybe I could be the one they adore That could be my reputation It's where I'm from that lets them think I'm a whore I'm an educated virgin Sleepwalker, don't be shy Now don't open your eyes tonight You'll be the one that defends my life While I'm dead asleep dreamin' Cupid, don't draw back your bow Sam Cooke didn't know what I know I'll never be your valentine The sleepwalker in me And God only know that I've tried Let me in, let me drown or learn how to swim Just don't leave me at the window I could be the one to be your next best friend You may need someone to hold you Sleepwalker, take this knife You may see someone tonight You'd be the one that saves my life When I'm dead asleep dreamin' Cupid, don't draw back your bow Sam Cooke didn't know what I know I'll never be your valentine The sleepwalker in me And God only know that I've tried I'm in your movie and everyone looks sad But I can hear you, your voice, the laughtrack But you never saw my best scene The one where I sleep Sleepwalk into your dreams Now, sleepwalker, what's my line It's only a matter of time Until I learn to open up my eyes When I'm dead asleep dreamin' Cupid, don't draw back your bow Sam Cooke didn't know what I know I'll never be your valentine The sleepwalker in me Now, the sleepwalker in me Now, the sleepwalker in me And God only know that I've tried |

I could break free from the wood of a coffin if I need But nothin's hard as Gettin' free from places I've already been I've been waste-deep in the burnin' meadows of my mind In the engine In cold December shootin' fire from the hose Now turn off your lights 'cause I'm not comin' home 'til I'm delivered for the first time I was first-born to a parade that follows in rows down a narrow cold black river faceless shadows movin' slow I would move swift when the sounds of a trumpet would blow I've been the puppet I've been the strings I know the vacant face it brings Now the bells of curfew They may ring before I'm through But soon I'll be delivered for the first time You might keep clean in the back of an angel motorcade It doesn't matter who walks in you know, the joke is still the same You'll just wake up like a disposable lover decomposed I've been gone I've been remembered I've been alive I've been a ghost So now, if downtown explodes I'll still be on this road 'til I'm delivered for the first time I have drawn blood from the neckline when vampires were in fashion You know I'd even learn to cut my throat If I thought I could fit in 'Cause I, I once heard that you gotta learn how to blend in to this mess Where nothin's hard nothin's precious and nothin's smooth or flawless Now, no more amused just screaming to be delivered for the first time Now I'm 10 miles in the deep and mighty blue sea Looking back, towards a long white beach burnin' up into yellow flames And I just wave back like a little boy up on a pony in a show 'cause I can't fix something this complex any more than I can build a rose So just keep on letting go 'cause I must be close to being delivered for the first time Now I'd rather bleed out a long stream from being lonely and feel blessed Well than drown, laying face down in a puddle of respect I was once lost in the corridors of the arena in blindfolds I've been the bull I've been the whip I just pulled down the matador So now, turn on your lights 'cause I'm comin' home I've been delivered for the first time |
