The sky can fall, milk can spill Rebellion sells, drugs can kill What's the use in laying blame? You'll just end up jaded You say my love's a marketing tool That preys on innocent victims like you No one wants you, but no one has tried To open the door and look inside Jaded, I'm not jaded I'm just sleeping with my eyes open Baby, can you hear me? Are you just jaded? Skin can sag, nerves can fray Lovers can get up and walk away
What's the use in holding on To something that ends up fading? Yesterday it all seemed clear Now I can't remember why I'm here No one loves you, but no one has tried Love doesn't fall from the sky Jaded, I'm not jaded I'm just sleeping with my eyes open Baby can you hear me? Are you just jaded, too? Is there anything that I can do? I should hate you But I'm too jaded to hate anyone Dogs can bark, babies can cry Money can talk, politics can lie What's the use in lying any blame? Jaded I'm not jaded I'm just sleeping with my eyes open Baby, can you hear me?
If you don't want me let me go What is there to understand? I would love to let you know That my love is in your hands I saw a bellhop at a hotel And he looked just like an old rock star He said with his eyes he tried to tell me Without love you won't get very far Without love you won't get very far If you don't want me let me go What is there to understand? I would love to let you know That my love is in your hands I saw a lady at a bus stop And she had thin air where her head used to be She tried, oh, she tried to tell me You can lose your head when you take yourself too seriously When you take yourself too seriously If you don't want me let me go What is there to understand? I would love to let you know That my love is in your hands That my love is in your hands That my love is in your hands
Love and its disciples Are all aboard the train There is no need for seatbelts They'll never feel the pain I need to get between the words and what they mean to say I'd like to get to know you but this love keeps getting in the way I feel about you I never could explain It's like the air around you It's like a picture's frame I'd like to get to know you but the words I heard you say I'd like to get to know you but this love keeps getting in the way we talk about it There is no wrong or right And if this love gets crowded I'll leave without a fight 'Cause love and its disciples Are all aboard the train There is no need for seatbelts They'll never feel the pain I need to get between the words and what they mean to say I'd like to get to know you but I'd like to get to know you but I'd like to know you but this love keeps getting in the way
You keep on looking back You keep on looking back You keep on looking back You keep on looking back And I could tell by the way that you look And act just like someone who's in the past You can watch your videocassettes And romanticize, but none of it will last You keep on looking back You keep on looking back You keep on looking back And you always try to describe How they don't make them like they used to do But all you know is a lie When all you want can be broken in two You keep on looking back You keep on looking back You keep on looking back And I don't care if you dye Your hair and change your name Cause when you wake up in the morning You will still be the same You keep on looking back You keep on looking back You keep on looking back
Paper and cardboard Upon the floor Sad girl in the corner Says she can't live anymore The party has ended And he is gone Sad girl in the corner Wants me to take her home Please come through I wish I didn't have to count on you Please come through Please come through I came here with no one And no one to find Sad girl in the corner Has changed my mind She takes a big breath So every candle gets blown She opens her eyes To find she's still alone Please come through I wish I didn't have to count on your Please come through Please come through Please come through Please come through
Why do you live so far away When I need you every night and day? Every second feels like a century Every clock tick's like a tympanie I've got no job and no place to go I'm just waiting for you to show Why do you live so far away When I need you more than I can say? All I could do is look up at the sky to moonn6pence from shootingstar I'll just wait for your plane to fly on by I've got no friends and no enemies And there's no one to take care of me What can I do? I can't let go of this thought of you I close my eyes and I wait Oh I stand by What can I do? I can't let go of this thought of you I close my eyes and I wait Oh I stand by Yeah I stand by
Driving down an open highway Wondering Michael rows His boat ashore and he does it my way Then would he ever know What's underneath the broken starlight Then totaled on the access raod? Could he escape by trying to fly away? And would he know? Now he's laying bricks on boulders Sweat beads his crown of thorns Making a home for junkie vultures
So sure the sun is bored His dragonflies are made of tissue They'll burn up at the slightest storm The flying suit hangs in the closet Was it ever worn? I want to know if he can sleep How clean a castle does he keep? Not knowing Not knowing Not knowing Not knowing Not knowing Not knowing Driving down an open highway Wondering if Michael knows
Someone's playing tug-of-war With someone else's flesh and home There's a fire that's in your soul And I hope they leave that fire alone Oh, someone is making a deal And someone else is getting a fee Please don't make a deal If it involves you and me Cause someone will get screwed Someone will get screwed You don't need to be right or wrong To have a point of view Someone will get screwed Someone will get screwed I don't wanna take a guess To find out what is going on There's too much rain inside my head I can't tell the clouds for the storm I know something needs to change That is something I can see She just wants to take the forest away And he just wants to take the trees Someone will get screwed Someone will get screwed There is no in-between You can't win when you have to choose Someone will get screwed Someone will get screwed You don't need to be right or wrong To have your point of view I don't wanna love from guilt And I don't want your guilt to be blind There's a fire that's in your view Every time you leave me behind Oh someone is playing a game And someone is talking sides Please don't play that game If you only win by telling lies Someone will get screwed Someone will get screwed There is no in-between You can't win when you have to choose Someone will get screwed Someone will get screwed
