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
