Today, it's in the air again today Another incident that just went off No way, this time I will not take blame It's pretty obvious who needs to shut up Ashtrays filled with the fruits of our transgressions Here and there sarcasm overflows Do stay, I'll need this sitcom to be re-run 'Til I get the gist of just how it goes So what would you have me do
Gimme a reason, c'mon now, make my day 'Cause I'm out of cheeks to turn the other way Ask yourself just how lucky do you feel
Somehow I've been blindsided by My own kindhearted notion of just who we are No doubt we'd have collided anyway With me indicted and you raising alarm First round I'll take my bows into my corner Take my vows, regroup, and run back again Bloodhound and of no better pedigree Than what you see, so you could not offend
Did I act like a fool 'cause I didn't know what to do When you gave me just a little bit more than I bargained for A little too much in my hands when my hands are tied It's the ultimate fling to go frolicking Licking the muck from the soles of the boots of your pride Everytime you lied
I'm gonna make a mistake I'm gonna do it on purpose I'm gonna waste my time 'Cause I'm full as a tick And I'm scratching at the surface And what I find is mine And when the day is done, and I look back And the fact is I had fun, fumbling around All the advice I shunned, and I ran Where they told me not to run, but I sure Had fun, so I'm gonna fuck it up again I'm gonna do another detour Unpave my path And if you wanna make sense What you looking at me for I'm no good at math And when I find my way back The fact is I just may stay, or I may not I've acquired quite a taste For a well-made mistake I wanna mistake Why can't I make a mistake?
I think I found help I think I found something. I think I found something in my TV screen. I think I found out that I have nothing, That I have nothing in this place for me.
I watched it all in my head, perfect sense. They'll take me from me my bed, Leave everything that is worth a single cent and just take me instead. That TV show, I saw as I feel asleep. Had me on both my knees, Praying to whatever is in heaven please send me a felon, And don't let the police know.
Anything, anything, Don't tell them anything, Anything, please. I think I can tell, I think I can tell them, Tell them they were made for me. I'm thinking they'll know, know it already.
You're the night, Lila. A little girl lost in the woods. You're a folk tale, the unexplainable
It's too dark to see the landmarks. I don't want your good luck charms. I hope you're waiting for me across your carpet of stars. You're the night, Lila. You're everything that we can't see. Lila, you're the possibility.
Unknown the unlit world of old. You're the sounds I never heard before. Off the map where the wild things grow. Another world outside my door. Here I stand I'm all alone. Drive me down the pitch black road. Lila you're my only home and I can't make it on my own.
You're a bedtime story. The one that keeps the curtains closed. And I hope you're waiting for me cause I can make it on my own. I can't make it on my own.
You're the paint can falling off the wall at the door that slams at the end of the hall where the kid rings sounds of basketball. The battle of the earth of the angels. The shifting snow drifts so realistic, so realistic - call you carpet of stars. See there is something in the yard. It's awful dark. With the painted strings, the cross, the good luck charm, the prayer, the extra layer.
Who's got you now? Who's going to save you from yourself? Come find you Rewind you Who's got you now? Who's got the better master plan? Come for you, restore you I'll change the game before you can When every back is turned, 'cause you refuse to learn Whose side you're really on
Who's got your heart? Who showed the way, the minute stop We'll find you, unbind you? Who's got your soul? Who took it out of your control? Who saved you, enslaved you? And gave away what matters most? When every back is turned, 'cause you refuse to learn Whose side you're really on
You'll march along the which way You swallow every word they say When it all goes down Who's going to come to set you straight? you'll march along to your fate You try to change, but can't escape When it all goes down Who's going to come to set you straight?
And the days are all the same And the town so big and no one knows your name And the people fade away And all stars are just a flicker And you're left there all alone
When there's so much more that you could see if you just stick around And all the street light secrets whispering for you to come back out
Oh no There's so much more that you need to work out Oh no You don't want that parade to leave you now
When the music's over But the song stays in your head
So now that you've arrived well you wonder What is it that you've done to make the grade And should you do the same? (Is that too easy?) Are you only trying to please them (Will they see then?) You're desperate to deliver Anything that could give you A sense of reassurance When you look in the mirror
Such highs and lows You put on quite a show All these highs and lows And you're never really sure What you do it for Well do you even want to know? You put on quite a show
Have you got colour in your cheeks? Do you ever get that fear that you can't shift the tide that sticks around like summat in your teeth? Are there some aces up your sleeve? Have you no idea that you're in deep? I've dreamt about you nearly every night this week How many secrets can you keep? 'Cause there's this tune I found that makes me think of you somehow and I play it on repeat Until I fall asleep Spilling drinks on my settee
(Do I wanna know?) If this feeling flows both ways (Sad to see you go) I've started hoping that you'd stay (Didn't we both know) That the nights were mainly made for saying things that you can't say tomorrow day
Crawling back to you
Ever thought of calling when you've had a few? 'Cause I always do Maybe I'm too busy being yours to fall for somebody new Now I've thought it through
Crawling back to you
So have you got the goods? Been wondering if your heart's still open and if so I wanna know what time it shuts Simmer down and pucker up I'm sorry to interrupt it's just I'm constantly on the cusp of trying to kiss you I don't know if you feel the same as I do We could be together if you wanted to
Beautiful girl, You must've been a beautiful baby too Beautiful woman, You must've had your moments inside the sun Beautiful girl
Beautiful stranger Why do you have to walk with your head hung low Beautiful girl
Your eyes are mockingbirds inside a gilded cage Your life's a silent movie that I haven't heard for ages Tell me everything, someone's gotta hear this Beautiful thing
So come down off your cloud Say it now say it loud Get up in my face Pretty little girl come make my day
Put your hands all over me Please talk to me, talk to me Put your hands all over me Now walk with me, walk with me now Put your hands all over me Gotta talk to me, talk to me Come on now, babe Put your hands all over me Gotta walk with me, walk with me now Love is a game you say play me and put me away
Come get me Wicked fines won't arrest me I'm like Lucifer's child, wild, acid done Black sunglasses shade the morning sun
Come get me All you fuckers can't touch me I'm a hooligan cryer, sire, sit don't scatter, It don't matter Give me one, two, three
Gold lightening in the skyline Gold lightening in the sky
Oh baby I was born With a fast fuse I've got no time to love Just a city to abuse
The vultures circle round They wait above the ground
Oh How dare you! Now it's time to address you I'm the reason you claim Shame, stalk my name See my fist chopping off your reign It's getting hotter Now I'm spitting out lava Well I'm just putting it into words Just genuine stock Hear that bomb going tick tick tock
I'm a constant sinner A conscience killer I'm a righteous heartache Never gonna let you get close to mine I'm a punk every time Give me little room and I'll spit in your eye
I'm a red-blooded sickness There was no way around it I'm a fine line teaser Never been nothing but a cheater I'm a son of the night Give a little room and I'll spit in your eye
I'm nails I'm a knife I'm a preacher with a gun I'm a one man lie I'm a king I'm a ruse I'm born again with no life to lose
'Cause it don't mean all that much, does it? But we never really had a choice No it don't mean all that much to us But we never really had a choice We're conscience killers Don't want no conscience at all
We're only young and naive still We require certain skills The mood it changes like the wind Hard to control when it begins
Can't help myself but count the flaws Claw my way out through these walls One temporary escape Feel it start to permeate
We lie beneath the stars at night Our hands gripping each other tight You keep my secrets hope to die Promises, swear them to the sky
As it withers Brittle it shakes Can you whisper As it crumbles and breaks As you shiver Count up all your mistakes Pair of forgivers Let go before it's too late Can you whisper Can you whisper Can you whisper Can you whisper
The bittersweet between my teeth Trying to find the in-betweens Fall back in love eventually Yeah yeah yeah yeah
It's just a life story, so there's no climax No more new territory, so pull away the IMAX In the slot that you sliced through the scene there was no shyness In the plot that you passed through your teeth there was no pity
No fade in: film begins on a kid in the big city And no cut to a costly parade (that's for him only!) No dissolve to a sliver of grey (that's his new lady!) Where she glows just like grain on the flickering pane of some great movie
It's just a house burning, but it's not haunted It was your heart hurting, but not for too long, kid In the socket you spin from with ease there is no sticking From the speakers your fake masterpiece is serenely dribbling
When the air around your chair fills with heat, that's the flames licking Beneath the clock on the clean mantelpiece. It's got a calm clicking Like a pro at his editing suite takes two weeks stitching up some bad movie
Here I am, where I've been I've walked a hundred miles in tobacco skin And my clothes are worn & gritty And I know ugliness Now show me something pretty I was a dumb punk kid with nothing to lose And too much weight for walking shoes I could have died from being boring As for loneliness, she greets me every morning At the most I'm a glare, I'm the hopeless son who's hardly there I'm the open sign that's always busted I'm the friend you need, but can't be trusted
I see this life Like a swinging vine Swing my heart across the line In my face is flashing signs Seek it out and ye shall find
Old, but I'm not that old Young, but I'm not that bold And I don't think the world is sold I'm just doing what we're told
I feel something so right By doing the wrong thing And I feel something so wrong By doing the right thing I could lie, could lie, could lie Everything that kills me makes me feel alive
Lately I been, I been losing sleep Dreaming about the things that we could be But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard Said no more counting dollars We'll be counting stars
For this second of your life, Tell me that its true, Waiting for a sign, That's all I want of you. Your heart hides a secret A promise of what is, Something more than this.
Just a second of your time, Any one will do, Taste of any other, Is all I want from you, You offer me the world, And how can I resist Something more than this?
Make believe in magic Make believe in dreams Make believe impossible, Nothing as it seems To see touch taste smell hear But never know if its real
Let the sun beat through the clouds, Let me kiss you on the mouth. All my childhood toys with chew marks in your smile. Let me hold your syrup close to mine. Let me watch you, Hollywood and Vine. And I want you like the movies, touch me now.
Did I dream you were a tourist In the Arizona sun? I can see you there with luna moths And watermelon gum. I woke up in the sleeping bag, With nowhere else to run. You're standing in the bathroom Telling me its all in fun.
I can whisper in your ear. I can write a calendar year I can wing around your Saturn smile, shout at the moon I walked the tension wire line. And I learned to disrespect the signs. And I want you like a Pisces rising, even though I love you crazy, just keep on. I love you madly, just keep watch. You wipe my lips, You turn me on. My attentions are turned to you.
The night you came into my life Well it took the bones of me, took the bones of me You blew away my storm and strife And shook the bones of me, shook the bones of me By the way, I do know why you stayed away I will keep tongue-tied next time
Live a life less ordinary Live a life extraordinary with me My face had said too much Before our hands could even touch To greet a 'hello' (So much for going slow...) A little later on that year I told you that I loved you dear What do you know? This you weren't prepared to hear I'm a saddened man, I'm a broken boy I'm a toddler with a complex toy I've fallen apart, since the ambush of your heart
And I know dark clouds will gather me And I know my way is rough and steep And the beautiful fields that lie just beyond me And I know my needs are rough and steep
And I'm going there to see my mother And I'm going there no more to roam And I'm only going over Jordan And I'm only going over home now
Cause I am a poor, wayfaring stranger Traveling through this world alone And there's no sickness, toil or danger In that bright land to which I go And I'm going there to see my mother And I'm going there no more to roam And I'm only going over Jordan And I'm only going over home now
Now here you go again You say you want your freedom Well who am I to keep you down It's only right that you should Play the way you feel it But listen carefully to the sound Of your loneliness Like a heartbeat, drives you mad In the stillness of remembering What you had, And what you lost And what you had, And what you lost
Thunder only happens when it's raining Players only love you when they're playing They say, women, they will come and they will go When the rain washes you clean, you'll know You'll know
Now here I go again, I see the crystal visions I keep my visions to myself It's only me who wants to wrap around your dreams and Have you any dreams you'd like to sell Dreams of loneliness like a heartbeat, drives you mad In the stillness of remembering What you had, And what you lost And what you had, oh what you lost
Thunder only happens when it's raining Players only love you when they're playing Women, they will come and they will go When the rain washes you clean, you'll know
you could say it's my instinct yes, i still have one there's no time to second guess it yes, there are things that i'm still so afraid of but my courage is roaring like the sound of the sun cause it's vain about its mane and will reveal them to no one
now i'm an animal you're an animal, too
pick up that rock (drink from that lake) i do my best but i'm made of mistakes
crushed down, you want to believe all the truth you make means something to me call out, i want you to see all the plans you made will weigh on the free
we all fall down we all fall down sometimes
your thoughts are a plague, sinking deep under wishing all the lies you betray 'cause you're full of your mission with your ah, ah, ah
caught out, i'll see your defeat they are waiting, timing the perfect deceit all hail the not-to-be-seen you have fallen deep, you've fallen past me
I want the sun to shine on me I want the truth to set me free I wish the followers would lead with a voice so strong it could knock me to my knees
Hold on world 'cause you don't know what's coming Hold on world 'cause I'm not jumping off Hold onto this boy a little longer Take another trip around the sun
If I jumped into the ocean to believe If I climbed a mountain would I have to reach? Do I even dare to speak?--to dream?--believe? Give me a voice so strong I can question what I have seen
Hold on world 'cause you don't know what's coming Hold on world 'cause I'm not jumping off Hold onto this boy a little longer Take another trip around the sun
Around the sun Around the sun Around the sun Let my dreams set me free. Believe. believe. Now now now now now now
