| these are days of hit
and run · in the stream with everyone ·
these are moments of our lives |
| on a wandering river
· going on together · many journeys to arrive |
| I've been walking through
the valley · through the tall grass · and
the shadows · and I feel it · I can see
it · yes I need it · I believe it |
| through the city and
the towers · turning minutes into hours ·
and I feel it · I can see it · yes I need
it · I believe it |
|
when I think I'm being strong · and I lose direction
· then a life starts looking mischievous
|
|
finding revelation · out of desperation ·
always stretching time but it’s never long enough
|
|
you think you’re happy · think you’re
free · but maybe we’re just comfortably
deceived
|
| but I'm running through
the valley · through the tall grass · and
the shadows · and I feel it · I can see
it · yes I need it · I believe it |
|
through the city and the towers · turning minutes
into hours · and I feel it · I can see
it · yes I need it · I believe it
|
| but I'm running through
the valley · through the tall grass · and
the shadows · and I feel it · I can see
it · yes I need it · I believe it |
|
through the city and the towers · turning minutes
into hours · and I feel it · I can see
it · yes I need it · I believe it

dark sun rose on the
ridge cut clear across the sky · as good a day
as any to die
no reservation madam no reason to know why
running late stiletto heels · strike the crew send
up the wheels |
|
you spend a life in preparation for this day ·
breathe in the air it’s loaded with fame
check out those weapons sister before you hit the fray
string o pearls -V- ditzy gems · enter the battle
of the lenses

once was a man who consumed
his place and time · he thought nothing could touch
him
but here and now it's a different story-line ·
like the straw he is clutching |
|
why has the sky turned grey · hard to my face
and cold on my shoulder
and why has my life gone astray · scarred by
disgrace I know that it’s over
|
|
because I'm falling down · with people standing
round
but before I hit the ground · is there time could
I find someone out there to help me
|
|
howl at the wind rushing past my lonely head ·
caught in silent slow motion
how I wish it was somebody else instead · howling
at all this corrosion
|
|
why did the luck run dry · laugh in my face
so pleased to desert me
why do the cruel barbs fly · now when disgrace
can no longer hurt me
|
|
because I'm falling down · with people standing
round
but before I hit the ground · is there time could
I find someone out there to help me
you see I'm falling down · with people standing
round
but before I hit the ground · is there time could
I find someone out there to help me
|
|
because I'm falling down · with people standing
round
but before I hit the ground · is there time could

I find someone out there to help me
|
|
I don’t know · where to go · I don’t
know · here I go
|
|
|
|
| at the sharp end of the
view · the edge of me and you · in all good
sense dare tread no further |
| and as the ghost will
shiver trees · how I'm trembling on my knees ·
but I'm still drawn on by the murmur |
|
are you laughing at me now · in my circumstance
· when still I wear your crown
my life's penitence for what
what's so funny · box full o' honey
|
|
what I thought a pretty tune · was howling at
the moon · to keep me company this evening
|
|
it's so lonely in the dirt · a-scratching at
the hurt · that I so generously did leave you
|
|
are you laughing at me now · in my circumstance
· when still I wear your crown
some cruel penitence for what
what's so funny · box full o' honey
|
|
is she flirting with me now · ooh is she dallying
with me now
|
|
ooh are you flirting with me now · you'll always
be my queen of tumbledown · miss melancholy
|
|
are you laughing at me now · in my circumstance
· when still I wear your crown
and my life's a penitence for what
what's so funny · ain't it funny · box
full o' honey

walking under skies ·
waiting for the fall · meet me at the cornershop
I show you it all
free you of your mind · something you won’t
find · in the west end pages with yer google-dirty
fingers |
it’s a skin dive
· (in deep, silence, we are) · going underwater
it’s a lifeline · (teardrop, bullets, all

wipe us off the face of the human race · whichever
way you look it’s indisposed or disgraced
fighting on the shore · the hoi polloi want more
· howling bloody murder but it’s nothing
just a murmur

in your skin dive · (in deep, silence, we are)
· going underwater
it’s a lifeline · (teardrop, bullets, all
night) · slip into the water

· I misplaced my future · could I please
borrow yours
paint it opalscene · you know what I mean ·
anything you want to be · the only thing you
want from me

she's gentle to the touch
· she's everything head-first · so happy
to be causing trouble
sometimes the pressure gets too much · and you
think she's going to burst · and shatter like a
christmas bauble |
| I'll be there when the
world is coming down upon her · when she's scared
I'll be there fighting in her corner |
she cries when she's
alone · for all life’s little knocks ·
everything that's supposed to make us tougher
thinking it doesn't really show · but I know how
she hurts · and I can't bear to see her suffer |
I'll be there when the
world is coming down upon her · when she's scared
I'll be there fighting in her corner
I'll be there when the walls are closing to surround her
· in the air as she falls with my arms around her
holding on I'm looking out for her thin skin ·
because she's everything and I don't think she knows |
| she’s such a gentle
touch · she’s too much · the gentle
touch |
she likes to catch the
sun · plays with it like a ball · and never
mind whatever keeps it burning
someday she might just be the one · who's going
to save us all · if this apocalypse is coming |
I'll be there when the
world is coming down upon her · when she's scared
I'll be there fighting in her corner
I'll be there when the walls are closing to surround her
· in the air as she falls with my arms around her
holding on I'm looking out for her thin skin ·
because she's everything but I don't think she knows |
| she’s such a gentle
touch · I don’t think she knows · she’s
too much · the gentle touch · I don’t
think she knows · she’s such a gentle touch
· I don’t think she knows · she’s
too much · the gentle touch |

| there's a dirty great
monster in this house · we pretend that it's not
there · and there’s no escape from its grip
but nobody seems to care |
|
do you ever wonder · about the days when we
were straight · but daddy got the hunger ·
so much to hide · we learned to lie
|
|
so watch yourself in the hallway · you’re
not supposed to know · 'cause we're all afraid
of each other · we’re the victims in this
show
|
| well do you ever wonder
· about the days when we were straight ·
when daddy got the hunger · too much to hide ·
we learned to lie |
|
silently out numbered · we made mistakes when
we were straight · now we're all going under
· so with a sigh · we say goodbye
|
|
|
|
| now an unexpected peace
comes to the day · as the howling din of fighting
dies away |
| when the hanging dust
is clearing from the air · you can just make out
a lonely figure there |
|
he's the last man standing on the track · he
does not look down · he does not look back
he's the last man standing on the track · you
can't hold him down · you can't hold him back
|
|
the last man standing on the track · he does
not look down · he does not look back
he's the last man standing on the track · you
can't hold him down · you can't hold him back
|
|
he is sorry for the wrong that he has done ·
and he's cries out for the anger borne so long
|
|
all the cuts and bruises suffered in whose name ·
oh but now is not the time to face his shame
|
|
he's the last man standing on the track · he
does not look down · he does not look back
he's the last man standing on the track · you
can't hold him down · you can't hold him back
|
|
the last man standing on the track · he does
not look down · he does not look back
he's the last man standing on the track · you
can't hold him down · you can't hold him back

|
one of these nights you wait and see · one of
these nights you're gonna realize · the way your
pride comes at a cost
|
|
leaving you short on sympathy · where is the
evidence you need to know · you're better off
than the rest
|
| given attention more
on touch · over time it's nothing much to show
· keeping it all together - seems like forever |
|
one of these days you'll kiss and tell · it's
in the mirror gonna spill it out · whatever do
you know - what do you, do you know?
|
|
a selfish obsession, a fake suicide · you can't
see the truth for the colors in your eyes
they're fading and that makes you cry baby cry ·
but it ain't gonna kill you now
|
|
can you depend on your champagne · socialist
friends to drop your name in their four viper supernova
rides
|
|
however great they claim to be only betrays their insecurity
yeah · see how they fall from those highs
|
| afraid of dragons in
the smoke · gonna go rehab but that's a joke ·
it's getting old don't tell them all that we've heard
it before |
|
you're welcome to celebrity · doing the thing
so famously must wear your reputation wrong ·
it must be such a bore

a selfish obsession, a fake suicide · you can't
see the truth for the colors in your eyes
they're fading and that makes you cry baby cry ·
but it ain't gonna kill you now

a selfish obsession, a fake suicide · you can't
see the truth for the colors in your eyes

you stronger yeah
