I have gone to the moon Tell all my friends I will write them soon And tell them If you see them That I am better left alone 'Cause I'm living up here where the air is thin And where gravity don't bring you down Yeah I'm living up here and I'm watching your universe cooling down I spend my days beneath a perspex dome I think that I have finally come home So tell them If you see them That I am better left alone 'Cause I'm living up here where the air is thin And where gravity don't bring you down Yeah I'm living up here and I'm watching your universe cooling down Yeah I'm living up here where the air is thin And where gravity don't bring you down I'm living up here and I'm watching your universe cooling down |

It's the best winter I remember
It's the best winter I remember Chasing through the cold December nights One foot on the sidewalk, one foot in the sky Slide in through the doors of a darkened church Cold heart beating like a hummingbird It's the best winter I remember It's the best winter I remember Singing with no shame in this broken choir Songs to save you from the fire Home before the liquor and echoes fade Sleeping in the shadow of the Empire State It's the best winter I remember It's the best winter I remember It's the best winter I remember It's the best winter I remember |

This train don't stop at the stations of the cross
No reasons left to believe Trying to stay awake gave yourself a caffeine headache To hide the taste of sleep In choosing to forget you cut away the safety net that holds your heart, holds your heart And you go in search of youth touching up your empire roots But these days we don't know how to march Satisfied with a knife in your spine you're bloodless So tell me again what am I feeling you know me so well So what am I feeling and how can you tell I've got a feeling you don't know We think that we're the ones we're the bright unconquered suns Wait a while we'll watch the light grow stale And we smell so very clean but we're the Oil in this machine and this machine This machine is going wrong So choose your sides when it comes to the fight you're bloodless So tell me again what am I feeling you know me so well So what am I feeling and how can you tell I've got a feeling you don't know You choose your side but in the fight I see your blood run white, your blood run white And I've seen it all before And I see it again So what am I feeling you know me so well So what am I feeling and how can you tell I've got a feeling you don't know So tell me again now what am I feeling you know me so well So what am I feeling and how can you tell I've got a feeling So tell me again now what am I feeling you know me so well So what am I feeling and how can you tell I've got a feeling you don't know |

She lies still
Her eyes on fire Undressed to kill And untethered in time And in the arms of a stranger You search for someone like her And the music carries on In a simple border song You once knew People like you They come and they go What's left to say We already know And we've danced these shoes to pieces And we stood where no one has stood And the music carries on In a simple border song You once knew And I guess I've said it all And I guess I've said it all You can climb but you will fall And I guess I've said it all You will walk You will walk You will walk out of here You will walk You will walk You will walk out of here And I guess I've said it all And I guess I've said it all You can climb but you will fall And I guess I've said it all ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By MCRAE <i>Lyrics © Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC</i> |

Baby, I went back to funeral row
kicking through the old streets of a place I once called home, not long ago Searching for an omen, looking for a sign looking for the place I swore an oath of love undying of love undying But I'm tired of this dull ache this endless and fake parade I'm goinna torch my name and my trade Run into the bright lights run into the bright lights Brother don't go back to funeral row the streets have fallen silent and the cross no longer glows on funeral row And i'm tired of this dark place where hope dies and hope fades I'm gonna leave these shadows behind Head into the bright lights head into the bright lights So come on Red get your guitar feed the flames and feed the fire wishing things won't make them so and the truth is i refuse to go Dos the shadow's where the best things hide you can keep the brightest light you can keep the brightest light you can keep the brightest light |

So Mr Heartbreak you're back
Is the dream showing cracks Come back older, come back changed But still chasing the rain With a lightning tattoo Proof I once was struck dumb by you Like hot rain on hot earth Are you a gift or a curse From this place, darling please, deliver me In a small motel room History and hearts break in two Cut your losses cut your ties And I'll drink the shine from my eyes And I've given up sleep And chasing you in my dreams And outside the cars Throw light on the walls and the scars From this place, darling please, deliver me And if you believe that what's done is done How history repeats from father to son And on and on Hey Mr Heartbreak you're back Pour a drink for the man Come back older, come back changed But still chasing the rain Still chasing the rain Here comes the rain |

Change the locks on the door Put out the light in the hall I do not live here anymore Put the world in a box Turn the sign to the street Aim for where the horizon and blue skies meet But all I know is I’m not ready yet For the light to dim Got a suitcase, got regrets But I’m hopeful yet I’ve been a gifted thief Stole everything for the cause I never had fingers as light as yours So wake up pretty girl See the hope in small things Disappointment can wear you thin But all I know is I’m not ready yet For the light to dim Got a suitcase, got regrets But I’m hopeful yet And I'll raise this glass of wine And I’ll say your name So let's be killers, babe Make the great escape From all the bitter words of every crowded street and empty heart It's Christmas day, Brooklyn in the rain But I am safe inside a better world of hope and memory Drunk on velvet wine the Southern Cross for light Deal the cards and hope that I can play a better hand This time |

I'll tell you a story Of how the west was won Flew over diamonds East river shining A city sinking in the mud And in a second A life-long second I knew what we'd become We use up people, use up time Use up places, we say goodbye Searching for the crowded hour Now there's a buzzing in the wires Look for lightning in your eyes And I see it there Hey hey Rockstar Let's play happy This could be our final hour I'll take your picture But who needs pictures? They only strip you of your power Don't lose your nerve now Feel the curve of the earth now Rising up to meet your feet We use up people, use up time Use up places, we say goodbye Never find the crowded hour It's time to move the saints again Curse the sun to kill the rain I wish I knew just how We should have driven Out to the ocean Our hands tied to the wheel Now something's broken Don't know what's broken Or if I want it healed We use up people, use up time Use up places, we say goodbye Where the hell's the crowded hour Scattered thoughts and promises Let the wind take all that's left There's nothing for you here So take a card and put it back Hide the faces cut the pack The future's not that clear Light me a smoke I'll tell you a story Of how the west was won You wanted glory Well here's your glory Just look what we've become |

The bottle in your hand Shouting to the night While the city sleeps Caught in the light of a car Or subways station sparks I see your face again Guess it's time to leave And I watch you fall from a great height And you watch me fail night after night And the still the sound, still the sound of the city tonight Keeps my dreams and my demons alive Baby I'm still alive I hear the city breathe I dream the city's dreams And she's still in my arms For another year So bring your broken hearts Call me The King of Cards I'll make it disappear With a sleight of hand And I watch you fall from a great height And you watch me fail night after night And the still the sound, still the sound of the city tonight Keeps my dreams and my demons alive Baby I'm still alive Still you don't come, you won't come But the fever has broken And the daylight is blinding your eyes And still you don't come, you won't come But the city she's not done She's calling, she's calling your name |

When I walk through the bone yard with you I think I’m walking hand in hand with my own ghost. I’ve been many things, played a fool to catch a king And I’ve even been the man behind the walls who hears your screams But I, I still love you Yeah I still love you Like a wolf on a black new moon A shadow boxer at high noon I’m acting lost and so confused that much is clear Are you the one I’ve come to save Are you the water or the wave Am I drinking you down deep or drowning here But I, I still love you Yeah I, I still love you |

Another dead dog highway
The road to paradise Is littered with your saviours The lines are growing faint Another paper saint has put us all in danger So take my hand I'm a stranger in the strangest land I'll return the favour Slide into my heart We'll hide there in the dark I catch you in my lights I'm reaching for a knife For halo girls and dreamers A statue comes to life Another roadside shrine For hypocrites and bleeders So take my hand I'm a stranger in the strangest land I'll return the favour Slide into my heart We'll hide there in the dark A bullet from a stolen gun How much I'll miss you when you're gone But now I think it's time you went away So take my hand I'm a stranger in the strangest land I'll return the favour Slide into my heart We'll hide there in the dark In the dark In the dark |

Somebody wake me up
The dream is growing cold And the night is all we have Left to hold Somebody sail this ship Navigate this crowd For what I once saw as land I see as cloud But I am stronger than you And I am braver than you And I will still be here When the dust has cleared Sometimes nothing is The better hand And you throw it all for this I understand But I am stronger than you And I am braver than you And I will still be here When the dust has cleared will you Will you, will you, will you And I will still be here When the dust has cleared And I will still be here When the dust has cleared Will you You will never get close to me You will never get close to me This is who we are This is who we are You will never get close to me Who we are... You will never get close to me Who we are... |

A summer of John Wayne Getting older Reel after reel And playing old soldiers With old wounds You know how that feels And a summer of searching The underworld An arrow in my heel And the winding down of days And the speeding of time won't change But I know you say nothing good lasts forever Some things burn bright But burn themselves out to embers And these weather conversations And small talk Steal my hours away And I gave away my best to strangers Day after day And the winding down of days And the speeding of time won't change But I know you say Nothing good lasts forever Some things burn bright But burn themselves out to embers Your love is a cold, cold place my dear The seasons change those ghosts appear And every sound is an echo of yesterday. And suddenly I fall through the cracks in time And I standing here with your hand in mine And I turn around to see you there no one there But I know you say Nothing good lasts forever You will forget But I will always remember, the time |

Welcome to the second reel glad that you can make it
We thought your fate was sealed it's not what we expected But you punch above your weight and you're stronger than you look And the ending's not the same they changed it from the book I'm the boy with the bubblegun I'm taking aim I cannot hit to hurt or cause you pain If words could kill I'd spell out your name It's time to kill the king it's written in the scripture See what tomorrow brings got to get a bigger picture So forgive me forgive me for I am born to be what I must be and I must be The boy with the bubblegun I'm taking aim I cannot hit to hurt or cause you pain If words could kill I'd spell out your name I'm the boy with the bubblegun The boy with the bubblegun I'm the boy with the bubblegun with work to do If songs could kill this one's for you |

She says
I know your face But something's strange In your eyes Your voice I know so well Your words I don't Recognise And darkness creeps Borne on cold winds Blows my footprints away And I see myself Turn into something else Turn into someone else For a while And I know I'm right Running into this night Running another dream to the ground The girl who falls down stairs She calls my name Through the air She says I loved you once I'd love you again If you dare So wipe the sleep from tiger eyes And put this moment aside And I see myself Turn into something else Turn into someone else For a while And I know I'm right Running into this night Running another dream to the ground Needles buzz like Neon light and I am stained by This town And all my faith gone All maps welcome The stairs have twisted around And I see myself Turn into something else Turn into someone else For a while And I know I'm right Running into this night Running another dream to the ground Pull me out Pull me out Pull me out |

I feed on fire and confusion Of this crime I'll rid my soul Gonna slide on down to the river Gonna tell her all So I told my troubles to the river And I tossed them in the deep And I washed my hands in the river But the river brings more trouble to me I told my troubles to the river She shared them with the seas She returned them to me doubled The river holds no offer of peace I can wash this blood from my fingers I can wash this stain from my soul But I can't wash out your memories The river returns them all. I told my troubles to the river She shared them with the deep Yeah I told my troubles to the river But the river brings them back to me Yeah the river brings them back to me |

Close my eyes I'm moving still
Magazines and dollar bills And you wake up to a fall of snow Your telephone your radio Baby I'll call up a storm Keep you safe from harm But you only you only disappear You only you only disappear I can live with my regrets Still raise a smile, still raise my head And a stranger God can be so cruel And a holy fool is still a fool But this is all I can say I have lost my way But you only you only disappear You only you only disappear With a word with a line With a smile that says goodbye Baby says goodbye Baby says goodbye It's raining now On Royal Street And I'd walk to you If I could trust my feet |
