The Psychedelic Furs

In the house where Alice lives
(Alice's)
it's a mess of souvenirs
let to remind you telling the time
?
?
people say it's cold outside
you disagree, she's telling me...
(CHORUS)
Come and spend the day at Alice's House
pass some time away at Alice's House
write a note saying "Please don't go, please don't go"
In the
without a key
the butler is serving tea
wearing a shirt without any sleeves
(CHORUS)
in the bedroom down the hall
your secret sleeps
why don't you stay?
In the house where Alice lives
(Alice's)
It's a mess of souvenirs
let to remind you telling the time
(CHORUS)
Alice's house

see the people dead in cars
see their bodies bleed
i know he's so dead and gone
i think that is free
his body is upon the wall
his teeth are sharp and white
we cut his eyes with razorblades
and out of him comes foul white light
in the eastern carpet store
he is made of dreams
put his picture on the wall
just where the mirror gleams
his body is upon the wall
his teeth are sharp and white
we cut his face with razorblades
and out of him comes foul white light
his power's all around his feet
there's flowers in his heart
if you take the needles out
his body falls apart
his body is upon the wall
his teeth are sharp and white
we cut his hands with razorblades
and out of him comes foul white light
make a god of politics
make a god of police
worship it with automobiles
worship it with screams
his body is upon the wall
his teeth are sharp and white
he cuts his feet with razorblades
and out of him comes foul white light
make a god of useless drivel
sew it at the seams
float it down the river
where the sewage is the sea
his body is upon the wall
his teeth are sharp and white
he cuts his teeth with razorblades
and out of him came stupid light
that's flowers

Mrs. Jones is seventeen, and six, and twenty-four.
Moderately pretty.
She is all the girls, you know.
We are going far away.
We're going for a ride.
Mr. jones has got a plan,
If you just come inside.
So good, so far.
Slow down, ha ha.
Movie stars, and ads,
And radio define romance.
Don't turn it on,
I don't want to dance.
Mr. Jones is beautiful.
Your eyes are made of glass.
Looking through the window,
You can see the world go past.
Here's another nine o'clock,
And here's another day.
Wonder how the weather is,
And what the people say?
So good, so far.
Slow down, ha ha.
Movie stars, and ads,
And radio define romance.
Don't turn it on,
I don't want to dance.
Mr. Jones can turn you on
And turn you off again.
Mr. Jones is all of you
Who live inside a plan.
Put your head upon the pillow,
Never put it down.
That would only wake you up
And turn your head around.
So good, so far.
Slow down, ha ha.
Movie stars, and ads,
And radio define romance.
Don't turn it on,
I don't want to dance.

There's an army
On the dance floor
It's a fashion
With a gun my love
In a room
Without a door
A kiss is not enough
In
Love my way
It's a new road
I follow where
My mind goes
They'd put us
On a railroad
They'd dearly
Make us pay
For laughing
In their faces
And making it our way
There's emptiness
Behind their eyes
There's dust
In all their hearts
They just want to
Steal us all
And take us all apart
But not in
Love my way
It's a new road
I follow where
My mind goes
So swallow
All your tears my love
And put on
Your new face
You can never win or lose
If you don't
Run the race

when you're out in the crowd
trying to make it all pay
and we're telling the world
everything that you said
every word that you say
and we're taking it down
every word of it's true
and you got to get free
every shot that you take
and you've got to get loose
and all of it's true
written in silver
it's only the blues
written in new words
and all of it's true
written in silver
it's only the blues
written in new words
we got all of the law
and there's nothing to prove
we got all of the dream
yeah and all of it's free
we got nothing to lose
when your vanity fades
i know it's not you
and you got to get straight
every step that you take
and you got to get cool
and all of it's true
written in silver
it's only the blues
written in new words
and all of it's true
written in silver
it's only the blues
written in new words
listen we got it all
we're gonna make it all pay
we got all of the dream
and we're telling the world
every word that you say
and we're taking it down
every word of it's true
yeah you got to get free
every step that you take
and you've got to get loose
and all of it's true
it's written in silver
it's only the blues
written in new words
and all of it's true
written in silver
it's only the blues
written in new words

I try to remember a kiss
and i only get sorrow
and yesterday's faded away
now there's only tomorrow
and everything passes and changes
and comes to an end i know
but nothing is written but old news
again and again

I know that it's true
there's too many tears
but angels don't cry

now i see a face in your eyes
but you don't remember my name
we're always a step out of time
now ain't that a shame
and you've been alone for too long
but nobody cries
if you want to see all of my tears
take a look in your eyes

I know that it's true
believe it or not
but angels don't cry
I know that it's true
there's too many tears
but angels don't cry

I could walk away
or i could walk on by
and make it all come true
or say it's all a lie
there's no more tears
when you're out of time
I might fade away tonight
if you close your eyes

I know that it's true
believe it or not
but angels don't cry
I know that it's true
there's too many tears
but angels don't cry

She's a heartbeat
Yeah, she's a heartbeat
She's a door at the end of a dead end street
She's a heartbeat
And footsteps I hear her footsteps
Here comes rumours and lies
Here comes my life of crime
I hear footsteps
When the music goes down
And the traffic is stopped
And nobody talks at all
When they turn up the town
I hear a heartbeat
And I've shut all the shades
And the radio stops
And nobody moves at all
When the city's asleep
I hear a heartbeat
I hear a heartbeat
In the shadows
Out in the shadows
It's like walking on glass
It's the end of the show
In the shadows
And sweet dreams
She sells you sweet dreams
It's like movies and trash
Where there's always a girl
And she's sweet dreams
When the music goes down
And the traffic is stopped
And nobody talks at all
When they turn up the town
I hear a heartbeat
And I've shut all the shades
And the radio stops
And nobody moves at all
When the city's asleep
I hear a heartbeat
I hear a heartbeat
Heartbeat

i'm a hearbreak beat
yeah, all night long
and nobody don't dance
on the edge of the dark
we've got the radio on
and it feels like love
but it don't mean a lot
and it feels like love
and it's all that we've got
there's a heartbreak beat
playing all night long

There are colors flashing
People wearing stars and stuff
There are engines crashing
There's a way to turn it off
It gets so hard at times
To take it serious
It really gets to be a drag
When all we really need is love
Here come cowboys
Here to save us all
Here come cowboys
They're so well inside the law
Here come cowboys
They're no fun at all
Here come cowboys
You've been waiting so long
You've been waiting for today
Don't you put yourself on
Don't you take yourself away
It gets so hard at times
To take it serious
It really gets to be a drag
When all we really need is love
Here come cowboys
Here to save us all
Here come cowboys
They're so well inside the law
Here come cowboys
They're no fun at all
Here come cowboys

You have to have a party
When you're in a state like this
You can really move it all
You have to vote and change
You have to get right out of it
Like out of all this mess
You'll say yeah to anything
If you believe all this but
Don't cry, don't do anything
No lies, back in the government
No tears, party time is here again
President gas is up for president
Line up, put your kisses down
Say yeah, say yes again
Stand up, there's a head count
President gas on everything but roller skates
It's sick the price of medicine
Stand up, we'll put you on your feet again
Open up your eyes
Just to check that your asleep again
President gas is president gas again
He comes in from the left sometimes
He comes in from the right
It's so heavily advertised that he wants you and I
It's a real cowboy set, electric company
Every day is happy days
It's hell without the sin, but
Don't cry, don't do anything
No lies, back in the government
No tears, party time is here again
President gas is up for president
Line up, put your kisses down
Say yeah, say yes again
Stand up, there's a head count
President gas on everything but roller skates
It's sick the price of medicine
Stand up, we'll put you on your feet again
Open up your eyes just to check that your asleep again
President gas is president gas again
President gas
Oh, president gas
Whoa, president gas
Oh, president gas
Whoa, president gas
Oh, president gas
Whoa, president gas

they've got names without a face
and they've got faces i don't see
from the corners of my mouth
i hear your voice come falling down
from the corners of my mouth
can't hear myself at all
all my senses in a know
it gets too dark in here
that i can't move
and i can't feel to touch
and there's you standing in my clothes
a perfect picture with you on my side
i never let it show
from the corners of my mouth
i hear your voice come falling down
from the corners of my mouth
can't hear myself at all
i can't seem to find my feet
my body's shaking and
my tongue can't move
i turn my head to speak
i hear you call my name
i hear you calling me
on better days
on better days
from the corners of my mouth
i hear your voice come falling down
from the corners of my mouth
can't hear myself at all
from the corners of my mouth
i hear your vioce come falling down
from the corners of my mouth
can't hear myself at all

don't be a girl for all their kisses
for all their kisses taste so sweet
don't be a girl for all their flowers
all their flowers fade when the day comes
and in your eyes, i've seen it rain
don't be a girl, not for me
and on your face, i've seen their names
don't be a girl, not for me
don't be a girl for all their money
for all their money comes so cheap
don't be a girl for all they promise
all their promises come so easy
and in your eyes, i've seen it rain
don't be a girl, not for me
and on your face, i've seen their names
don't be a girl, not for me
don't be a girl for all their roses
all their roses tell me they want you
don't be a girl for all their wishes
for all their wishes don't come true
and in your eyes, i've seen it rain
don't be a girl, don't complain
and on your face, i see their names
don't be a girl, not for me
and in your eyes, i've seen it rain
don't be a girl, not for me
and on your face, i see their names
don't be a girl, don't complain
not for me

don't want order
it won't come
there's no why that it goes on
i was tied and i'm undone
i've got all that you don't want
you want order i want more
you want it all and
all of it's yours
you want shelter
i get a room
i get a room
my confusion leaves me cold
i've got nothing here to hold
all that's gold will never shine
it was nothing, nevermind
i want time, i want it now
my confusion's getting me down
you want shelter
i get a room
i get a room
what of yours is there to keep?
to be there when you sleep
i'm not here to tie your feet
hold a hand upon your sleeve
there's a nail to hang the wall
it pays to lose it all
a note to hind behind the door
i get a room
where you sleep, i lay awake
i saw every time you fake
i held on the hand that takes
and you hate it when i break
you want order
i want more
you want it all and
all of it's yours
you want shelter
i get a room
i get a room
i get a room

i come pulling all the stops
putting rain on all of this
with the sirens in my sleep
and her sorrow at my kiss
i can't turn away
hold a hand to when you pray
all her vanity and fate
written on her crazy face
here in my head
i hear you say
here in my head
i hear you pray
time is what it's made
made by others i regret
remember me i hear it said
out of faces i forget
hope you get up off your feet
shake the dust out of your shoes
city lights and all my jazz
all my demonstrations too
here in my head
i hear you say
here in my head
i hear you pray
time is what it's made
made by others i regret
remember me i hear it said
out of faces i forget
here in my head
i hear you say
here in my head
i hear you pray
here in my head
i hear you say
here in my head
i hear you pray

I see you sing
I don't need your praise
I need a hand, she said
You said it's worth
All that is mine
Prove it, sometimes
Under a moon
That shines like it's day
It hangs like a star, somedays

I'm getting blind
I see with your eyes
It's too dark, sometimes
Prove it, sometimes
Your head in my hands
Gets darker than night
It's tearing me down, sometimes

The world's like a friend
I find I can smile
Don't say "don't cry"
Prove it, sometimes
I see you sing
I don't need your praise
You hold out a hand, she said
You said it's worth
All that is mine
Prove it, sometimes
Prove it, sometimes
Prove it, sometimes

Your head in my hands
It's darker than night
It's tearing me down, sometimes
Under a moon
Shines likes it's day

i can't wait to say goodbye before you break
in you, i get torn in two
you don't see my reflection in my scenes
you fall, i don't come at all
i can almost feel you bleed
you've been falling in too deep
i can almost hear you say
but your words get in my way
why wait?
there's a world outside
why wait?
for the reason why
i come soon from the shelter of my room
you don't move
coming down on you
i can't fall
all that does is made to crawl
i'm one, leave the world undone
i can almost feel you bleed
you've been falling in too deep
i can almost hear you say
but your words get in my way
why wait?
there's a world outside
why wait?
for the reasons why
it ain't always what i want
it ain't always mine
why wait?
there's a world outside
you can't win
coming from the state you're in
you don't see
my reflections and my scenes
you fall, i don't come at all
i can almost feel you bleed
you've been falling in too deep
i can almost hear you say
but your words get in my way
why wait?
there's a world outside
why wait?
for the reason why
it ain't always what i want
it ain't always mine
why wait?
there's a world outside
it ain't always what i want
it ain't always mine
why wait?
there's a world outside

i can't wait to say goodbye before you break
in you, i get torn in two
you don't see my reflection in my scenes
you fall, i don't come at all

i can almost feel you bleed
you've been falling in too deep
i can almost hear you say
but your words get in my way
why wait?
there's a world outside
why wait?
for the reason why

i come soon from the shelter of my room
you don't move
coming down on you
i can't fall
all that does is made to crawl
i'm one, leave the world undone

i can almost feel you bleed
you've been falling in too deep
i can almost hear you say
but your words get in my way
why wait?
there's a world outside
why wait?
for the reasons why
it ain't always what i want
it ain't always mine
why wait?
there's a world outside

you can't win
coming from the state you're in
you don't see
my reflections and my scenes
you fall, i don't come at all

i can almost feel you bleed
you've been falling in too deep
i can almost hear you say
but your words get in my way
why wait?
there's a world outside
why wait?
for the reason why

it ain't always what i want
it ain't always mine
why wait?
there's a world outside

it ain't always what i want
it ain't always mine
why wait?
there's a world outside

Until she comes again
I can hear the things she said
I feel no thoughts to move my head
Until she comes again
And with her step
I move my feet
And with her hand
I feel my skin
And with her need
I find I'm saved
And with her dreams
I'm laid
Until she comes again
The sun goes out and night comes in
The time goes round and day grows dim
Until she comes again
And with her step
I move my feet
And with her hand
I feel my skin
And with her need
I find I'm saved
And with her dreams
I'm laid
Until she comes again
With all my savings and my sins
There's no good reason to begin
Until she comes again
And with her step
I move my feet
And with her hand
I feel my skin
And with her need
I find I'm saved
And with her dreams
I'm laid
Until she comes again
With all her dreams tied in her hand
There is no way to understand
Until she comes again
Until she comes again
The sun goes out and night comes in
The time goes round and day grows dim
Until she comes again

With all her talk of all the others
When it shadows everything
And I can't think
About her silence and her rings
I see no place to pin my thought
And where's what's true between the lines
And in her eyes
I see nothing not a sign
And I'm untied
I can't unwind
Your valentines
And I'm untied
I can't unwind
Your valentines
Sunday morning comes too soon
To leave me standing in my light
And there's no time
To set it straight or take a side
And I'm untied
I can't unwind
Your valentines
And I'm untied
I can't unwind
Your valentines
I see no place to pin my thoughts
And where's what's true between the lines
And in her eyes
I see nothing not a sign
And I'm untied
I can't unwind
Your valentines
And I'm untied
I can't unwind
Your valentines

the air here tastes like poison
the traffic moves on broken roads
the river runs like silver
my own feelings let me down
she's 14 and she's fading
there's a wasted year for
every train that passes
she is leaving someday
someday never comes
this road is poison
walk me to the wheels
i fear for my life
this road is poison
lovers coo goodbye
singing don't forget me boys
tired of waiting in the cheap seats
she is haunted by her failure here
the river runs like silver
my own feelings let me down
she's 24 and feels it
like a wasted year
for every day that passes
she is leaving one day
one day never comes
this road poison
walk me to the wheels
i fear for my life
this road is poison
lovers coo goodbye
singing don't forget me boys
in monday morning houses down
through gravel yards and dirty smoke
to somewhere on the sky line
what i feel is still the same
she's 40 and afraid that there's
a wasted life for every town that passes
she is leaving here but
nothing here remains
this road is poison
walk me to the wires
i fear for my life
this road is poison
lovers coo goodbye
singing don't forget me boys

Speak, talk to me
Show what I am
And cannot be, talk
Entertain me
Why the want for all that I can't touch
And all that I can't see?
Why the want for all that I can't speak?
And what is mine?
And all I see
Speak to me
And what is yours?
Entertain me
Sing, read to me
Sell what I am
Sell what I feel
Sleep, walk to me
Why the want for all that I can't touch
And all that I can't see?
Why the need for all that I can't speak?
And what is mine?
And all I see
Talk to me
And what is yours?
Entertain me
And what is mine?
And what I see
Speak to me
And what is you?
Entertain me
Entertain me
Speak, entertain me
Talk to me
Don't talk to me
Spell, pay for me
Spell, spell lie for me
Spell, spell want for me
Sing, read to me
Walkie talk and tambourine
Stop, here it comes again
Here it comes again

this day is not my life
the passing time is not my life
the thorn that's in my side
is all these scenes that we regret
the wasted words we can't forget
through the windows of my room
i hear the traffic breathing slowly
someplace miles away
make promises pay
shame, will shake this house
shame, will shake this house
your dreams are not my life
these broken words are not my life
your lies are none of my invention
your promises were not plan
now the party girls have gone
i hear the rattle of their heels
before their footsteps fade
make promises pay
shame, will shake this house
shame, will shake this house
the passing time is not my life
i've been counted down and shouted out
i had everything i wanted
nothing i can't rise above
to let it show was not my plan
headlines and frontpages
sell weddings and divorces
make promises pay
make promises pay
shame, will shake this house
shame, will shake this house
