Life's like that, delicious with clause You never get the truth, just promises galore Fool at the heart, don't look down Everybody loves you when you're playing the clown
Oh, oh, mother dear Don't let them shoot your kite down Oh, oh, mother dear Don't let them shoot your kite Out of the sky

Sooner or later she feels the morning come. Isn't it safer dark thoughts all gone. What a sensation. She has made it through one more tomorrow. Raising up her eyes to a brand new sky she knows the truth at last she's never coming back.
She'll be gone. So many years... She'll be gone. Melting away... She'll be gone this is the day.
Someone is walking up to the bedroom door. Hearing him knocking she knows what it's for. She's at the window wondering why there is no one to save her. Raising up her eyes to a brand new sky she knows the truth at last she's never coming back.
She'll be gone. So many years... She'll be gone. Melting away... She'll be gone this is the day.
Raising up her eyes to a brand new sky she knows the truth at last she's never coming back. She'll be gone. So many years... She'll be gone. Melting away... She'll be gone this is the day.
The cat's on the carpet. The phone doesn't work. I hate when it's quiet. It means that you're hurt.
It gets so complicated 'til I can't pretend. I thought I could do something good but I'll never do that again. I thought I could do something good but I'll never do that again.
And you put your book down and stare into space. You turn all the lights down so I won't see your face.
It gets so complicated 'til I can't pretend. I thought I could do something good but I'll never do that again. I thought I could do something good but I'll never do that again
Well my brother says I can't live in the past. But when you're more depressed by what's ahead you start believing in old dreams very fast. There were some awful times, and then there were some more. But now remembering the worst of it- it doesn't seem to be so bad anymore.
Well I don't know what to do. Whether I leave or stay with you- I get the message either way. I get the message either way.
Well Christian says that I don't want you now. But what he doesn't seem to ever grasp is that I never cared about you anyhow. It was a dirty way to leave me by the road. And when I finally found my way to town you stood there with a smile so everyone would know.
Well I don't know what to do. Whether I leave or stay with you- I get the message either way. I get the message either way
He sits in the car, walks in the park, waits in his room as the city gets dark. He can't understand why he's falling apart. It's never too late- it's only too hard.
He locks all the doors, pulls down the shades. He's not the same since he went away. He can't figure out what to do with his days. He's wasted his time. Now he's wasting away.
By now there's nothing left to say- I just opened your letter. I know you're only human but I expect something better. You let me down again. You drove me to the end. And it's so strange the way you've changed. You knew me well. Now I can tell you don't know anything. By now there's nothing I can say- I just finished your letter. I know you're barely human but I can get something better. You let me down again. You drove me to the end. And it's so strange the way you've changed. You knew me well. Now I can tell you don't know anything. You let me down again. You drove me to the end. And it's so strange the way you've changed. You knew me well. Now I can tell you don't know anything. And it's so strange the way you've changed.
Ba ba ba ba. Ba ba ba ba. Ba ba ba ba. Ba ba ba ba. You can talk all night. Why not let it die? You want to be right. I don't want to fight. Please just let me sleep I'm very tired. And we can talk about it when I'm feeling more alive.
Ba ba ba ba. Ba ba ba ba. Ba ba ba ba. Ba ba ba ba. I dream you are blind. I stare into your eyes. You see only white. Or is it black, I can't decide? You say are you there and I just smile. I just sit in silence let you wonder for a while.
Ba ba ba ba. Ba ba ba ba. Ba ba ba ba. Ba ba ba ba
You can really stare. You can stare a thousand miles and yet still I know exactly what you see. You can really care. You can care about the things that happen to the strangers that you never meet.
These are the things about you. These are the things about you. These are the things about you I know.
There is so much here. There is so much that defines you in the things you keep inside and never show. It is really clear. There is more behind that smile as you're walking down the driveway in the snow.
These are the things about you. These are the things about you. These are the things about you I know
Anyway you will take what you need Anyway you will take it from me Straight straight straight to the ledge Loose yourself in the sound Look out over the edge I know how you'll go down Anyway you will get what you want Why should I wait for that day to come Straight straight straight to the ledge One last smile and you're gone Step out over the edge as if nothing is wrong It will be quick and painless and easy Quick and painless and easy I don't want you to leave me but you'll go anyway
Straight straight straight to the ledge Loose yourself in the sound Look out over the edge I know how you'll go down It will be quick and painless and easy Quick and painless and easy I don't want you to leave me but you'll go anyway
Back in our town you were the only one who really knew me. Laughing out loud. We always knew you could see through me.
Everything is all right. Everything is all right.
Under the sun whispering foolish things, you could really hear me. You were the one the only one I would let near me.
Everything is all right. Everything is all right. Everything is all right.
And here I go. Nobody knows. And here I go. Nobody knows.
I want to free a part of you. I want to see the start of you. I want to free a part of you. And here I go nobody knows. I want to see the start of you. And here I go nobody knows. Back in our town you were the only one who really knew me
A world become one Of salads and sun Only a fool would say that A boy with a plan A natural man Wearing a white stetson hat Unhand that gun begone There's no one to fire upon If he's holding it high He's telling a lie
: I heard it was you Talkin' 'bout a world Where all is free It just couldn't be And only a fool would say that
The man in the street Draggin' his feet Don't wanna hear the bad news Imagine your face There is his place Standing inside his brown shoes You do his nine to five Drag yourself home half alive And there on the screen A man with a dream
Anybody on the street Has murder in his eyes You feel no pain And you're younger Then you realize
Deep in another dream Thinking about you Sailing through the city streets Thinking about you It's only been a little while But I'm thinking about you Can't hide another smile I've been thinking about you But I never look back (Never look back) Never look over my shoulder And I never react (Never react) Can't go where I've gone before No, I never look back (Never look back) Now I've grown so much colder And you're fading to black (Fading to black) Like it's nothing at all It's nothing at all Deep in another dream Thinking about you Feels like the final scene Thinking about you Save it for a little while Thinking about you Time for another smile I've been thinking about you But I never look back (Never look back) Never look over my shoulder And I never react (Never react) Can't go where I've gone before No, I never look back (Never look back) Now I've grown so much colder And you're fading to black (Fading to black) Like it's nothing at all It's nothing at all But I never look back (Never look back) Never look over my shoulder And I never react (Never react) Can't go where I've gone before No, I never look back (Never look back) Now I've grown so much colder And you're fading to black (Fading to black) Like it's nothing at all It's nothing at all (Thinking about you) It's nothing at all It's nothing at all (Thinking about you) Thinking about you
let me take your hand i'm shaking like milk turning turning blue all over the windows and the floors fires outside in the sky look as perfect as cats the two of us together again but it's just the same a stupid game
but i don't care if you don't and i don't feel if you don't and i don't want it if you don't and i won't say it if you don't say it first

but i don't care if you don't and i don't feel if you don't and i don't want it if you don't and i won't play it if you don't play it first
you can't even see now so you ask me the way you wonder if it's real because it couldn't be rain... through the right doorway and into the white room it used to be the dust that would lay here when i came here alone
but i don't care if you don't and i don't feel if you don't and i don't want it if you don't and i won't say it if you don't say it first
doo doo doo doo let's go to bed! doo doo doo doo let's go to bed!
She's reformed. Just like the neighbor's girl. She's coming home into her wonder-world. She's moving fast. She's a superstar. She's getting high. She covers up her scars.
It's the best thing she's ever had. It's the best thing she's ever had.
She's reformed. Just like the neighbor's girl. She's coming home wearing her fine-pressed curls. She's driving fast. She took the family car. She's getting high. She's never slipped so far.
It's the best thing she's ever had. It's the best thing she's ever had.

No telling how this came to be You ending up here when you didn't agree But now that you're gone, when people fall wrong You'll be the one who's missing the fun
No turning back to what you do You'll float in the air and you'll savor the view And when you get down, just look all around It's all or none in what's to come
Picture so perfect you'll want to give So lonesome a soul Some reason to live That's just how it goes, you and your wings exposed You didn't ask for the part It's all just breaking your heart Your will is dying and they are crying out to you
Say goodbye to all your friends Say goodbye to all your friends and all your lovers until the end
Who needs a myth when you're young and free But you are the angel you're smiling at me It's all just breaking your heart
Now that this time is feeling so new You'll know what to do Not to lose The love you left behind
Round and round, up and down Through the streets of your town Every day I make my way Through the streets of your town
And don't the sun look good today? (Shine) But the rain is on its way (Shine) Watch the butcher shine his knives (Shine) And this town is full of battered wives
Round and round, up and down Through the streets of your town Every day I make my way Through the streets of your town
And I ride your river under the bridge (Shine) And I take your boat out to the reach (Shine) 'Cause I love that engine roar (Shine) But I still don't know what I'm here for
Round and round, up and down Through the streets of your town Every day I make my way Through the streets of your town
They shut it down They closed it down They shut it down They pulled it down
Round and round, up and down Through the streets of your town Every day I make my way Through the streets of your town
Round and round, up and down Through the streets of your town Every day I make my way Through the streets of your town
Round and round, up and down Through the streets of your town Every day I make my way Through the streets of your town
Round and round, up and down Through the streets of your town
I don't know why I love you Your face is a hammer in my head I remember every word you said I just don't know why I love you
I don't know why I care I never even liked your hair I feel like a seven heir But I don't know why I love you
Television turns me on When the summer's hot and the spirit's thrown How can I get close to you When you got no mercy, no, you got mercy No, you got, no
I don't know why I love you Your face is a foreign food I really don't know if I should I just don't know why I love you
I don't know why I care I duck and I weave and I fight I work just to treat you right God, I don't know why I love you
I don't know why I love you I don't know why I love you It might be your soul and your heart Maybe it's the way that you speak I don't know why I love you
Television turns me on When the summer's hot and the spirit's thrown How can I get close to you When you got no mercy, no, you got mercy No, you got, no
I don't know why I love you I don't know why I care I don't know why I love you I don't know why I love you
I don't know why I love you I don't know why I love you And I don't know why I care
