Song # 1 With nothing to do you'd waste away Obscure in exile They've witnessed the times You've gone astray Whose fault? now you're thinking... Theres's nothing to prove A message from the crowd To the shore... And it feels now Just like "--------" Your soul shakes free As its conscience hits the ground So strange are the ways, They all have changed Still life it stays the same A break from the past Could make it last Maybe just a little longer There's nothing to prove A message from the crowd To the shore... You surrender Love under will Rest assured you're adored And it feels now Just like "--------" Your soul shakes free As its conscience hits the ground These signs, this fate Takes a path you didn't choose Stay Strong, Keep Faith There is a change that's Coming through Hold on my love Hold on... ------------------------------ Song #2 "--------" You help her forget The world outside You’re not part of it yet And if you could drive You could drive her away To a happier place To a happier day That exists in your mind And in your smile She could escape there Just for a while "--------" "--------" Why take the smooth with the rough When things run smooth It’s already more than enough She knows your mind Is not yet in league With the rest of the world And it’s little intrigues Do you understand Do you know what she means As time goes by And when you’ve seen what she’s seen You will "--------" "--------" Why does she have to defend Her feelings inside Why pretend She’s not had a life A life of near misses Now all that she wants Is three little wishes She wants to see with your eyes She wants to smile with your smile She wants a nice surprise Every once in a while She wants to see with your eyes She wants to smile with your smile She wants a nice surprise Every once in a while "--------" ------------------- Song #3 You'd think that you'd notice.. I've simply chosen.. to fade.. One fleeting moment.. I would've hoped I.. could stay.. If I kissed you would you push my face away? If I told you how I feel would you have listened anyway? I missed you more than words could ever say.. I missed you every single empty day.. Did you think this would be easy, my friend? Did you think it'd come to this our bitter end? Killed the magic.. Sucked the life out.. Buried me under the blame.. Follow me down.. to this our bitter end.. I wish that I'd noticed.. all the postponements, you said.. I never told you, you were the one I believed.. If I touched you would you push my hand away? If I'd listened would I've heard the things that made me run away? I missed you more than words could ever say.. I missed you every single empty day.. Did you think this would be easy, my friend? Did you think it'd come to this our bitter end? Killed the magic.. Sucked the life out.. Buried me under the blame.. Follow me down.. to this our bitter end.. Did you think this would be easy, my friend? Did you think it'd come to this our bitter end? Killed the magic.. Oh, sucked the life out.. Buried me under the blame.. Follow me down.. to this our bitter end.. Oooooh, follow me down.. to this our bitter end.. --------------------------- Song #4 Its like I’m dressed up in my mothers clothing Its like I’m talking to a voice that doesnt exist Its like I got a wire crossed upstairs But all I want is just a little truth and thats it They say I’m mental but I’m just confused Thay say I’m mental but I’ve been abused They say I’m mental cause I’m not amused my it all Another anchor man is on the t.v. He’s got that far away and vacant look in his eyes I turn the channel but nothings changing The only truth is that everythings a lie They say I’m mental but I’m just confused Thay say I’m mental but I’ve been abused They say I’m mental cause I’m not amused my it all There’s truth in everything There’s truth in lies With all this knowledge I think I’m gonna be wise They say I’m mental but I’m just confused Thay say I’m mental but I’ve been abused They say I’m mental cause I’m not amused my it all Not at all Not at all ----------------------------- Song #5 the question is "--------"? there's a silver lining in the corporate cloud and the pretty post that you're taking as as an NCO of the great pretender i should sure think so "--------"? "can I take your order?" asks the heavenly host ticket to the jetstream blowing coast to coast the long stem glasses, a movie and a pleasant dream in mid air "you gotta tell me quickly 'cos we're almost there" "--------"? pointed out of the window at the sky gone black "kid you're on the right track" if i send you postcards from the side of the road photographs of moving parts about to implode if i crawl to keep it together like you say you know i can do to transmit a moment from me to you "--------"? "--------"? "--------"? "--------"? ------------------------------------- Song #6 Hello I've waited here for you "--------" Tonight I throw myself into And out of the red, out of her head she sang Come down And waste away with me Down with me Slow how You wanted it to be I'm over my head, out of her head she sang Chorus- And I wonder When I sing along with you If everything could ever feel this real forever If anything could ever be this good again The only thing I'll ever ask of you You've got to promise not to stop when I say when She sang Breathe out So I could breathe you in Hold you in And now I know you've always been Out of your head, out of my head I sang Chorus- And I wonder When I sing along with you If everything could ever feel this real forever If anything could ever be this good again The only thing I'll ever ask of you You've got to promise not to stop when I say when She sang Chorus- And I wonder If everything could ever feel this real forever If anything could ever be this good again The only thing I'll ever ask of you You've got to promise not to stop when I say when She sang --------------------------------------- Song #7 Racey days Help me through the hopeless haze But my oh my Tragic eyes I can't even recognise myself behind So if the answer is no Can I "--------" Out again, a siren screams at half past ten And you won't let go While I ignore, that we both felt like this Before it starts to show So if I had a chance Would you let me know Why aren't you shaking Step back in time Graciously taking Oh your too kind And if the answer is no Can I "--------" We're all the same And love is blind The sun is gone Before it shines And I said if the answer is no Can I "--------" -------------------------------------------- Song #8 I cannot take this anymore I'm saying everything I've said before All these words they make no sense I find bliss in ignorance Less I hear the less you'll say But you'll find that out anyway Just like before... Everything you say to me Takes me "--------" to the edge And I'm about to break I need a little room to breathe Cause I'm "--------" to the edge And I'm about to break I find the answers aren't so clear Wish I could find a way to disappear All these thoughts they make no sense I find bliss in ignorance Nothing seems to go away Over and over again Chorus Shut up when I'm talking to you Shut up, shut up, shut up (2x) I’m about to break! Chorus ------------------------------------- Song #9 "--------", a new mother cries her placenta falls to the floor The angel opens her eyes the confusion sets in before the doctor can even close the door "--------", an old mother dies her intentions fall to the floor the angel closes her eyes the confusion that was hers, belongs now, to the baby down the hall Oh now feel it comin back again like a rollin' thunder chasing the wind forces pullin' from the center of the Earth again I can feel it "--------", a new mother cries this moment she's been waiting for The angels open her eyes Pale blue colored iris, presents the sun and puts th glory out to hide,hide Oh now feel it comin back again like a rollin' thunder chasing the wind forces pullin' from the center of the Earth again I can feel it -------------------------------------------- Song #10 Born to be down I’ve learned all my lessons before now Born to be down I think you’ll get used to it And you just don’t get it You keep it copacetic And you learn to accept it You know it’s so pathetic Born to be down I think that I’ve said this before now Born to be down What good is confidence? And you just don’t get it You keep it copacetic And you learn to accept it You know it’s so pathetic And you don’t -------------------------------------------------- Song #11 In my dreams I'm dying all the time As I wake its kaleidoscopic mind I never meant to hurt you I never meant to lie So this is goodbye This is goodbye Tell the truth you never wanted me Tell me In my dreams I'm jealous all the time As I wake I'm going out of my mind Going out of my mind --------------------------------------------------- Song #12 How does it feel To treat me like you do When you’ve laid your hands upon me And told me who you are I thought I was mistaken I thought I heard your words Tell me how do I feel Tell me now how do I feel Those who came before me Lived through their vocations From the past until completion They will turn away no more And I still find it so hard To say what I need to say But I’m quite sure that you’ll tell me Just how I should feel today I see a ship in the harbor I can and shall obey But if it wasn’t for your misfortunes I’d be a heavenly person today And I thought I was mistaken And I thought I heard you speak Tell me how do I feel Tell me now how should I feel Now I stand here waiting I thought I told you to leave me While I walked down to the beach Tell me how does it feel When your heart grows cold (grows cold, grows cold, grows cold) ------------------------------------------------- Song #13 And Sara thinks she's died here once before She's crazy A pop-up book of flowers from grade four Are driving her insane No-one knows why She's sad tonight No-one can help her find Crying, she couldn't afford the view Crying, these "--------" won't do Another brick Another window frames the confusion Her garden blooms but Sara can't see straight She's drinking herself blind ------------------------------------------------- Song #14 O.K. ya see t'was 1983 when we first walked arm in arm Across the sea it was my destiny that I'd find her in Hong Kong There it was a soldier falls in love as we walked through Lan Kwai Fong Limousines and new wave beauty queens and a romance just begun Ya "--------" was her name like a title wave she came And now I'll never be free I was drowning in a wave of ecstasy Tsunami Just when you think the worst has past she rises up to destroy me, Just when you think it's safe to sail again Ya she rises up and then I'm drowning in a wave of ecstasy Tsu-Tsu-"--------" ---------------------------------------------------- Song #15 she told me that I was lame with her middle finger in my face wont waste her time with such a loser so now I wallow in regret wanna do something right but I haven't yet why do my endeavors end up in failure I think I'll go out "--------" "--------" all night long cuz if I go out "--------" then I can stop thinkin' bout how the world done me wrong I guess I shouldn't feel so bad ain't got much reason to feel so sad 'cept that I'm poor untalented and ugly I know its like they always say good times and bad will come our way but theres only one thing that'll make this easier I think I'll go out "--------"' "--------" all night long cuz if I go out "--------" then I can stop thinkin' bout how the world done me wrong so wrong I sing this song and nobody sings along I've got a friend he's in my hand he understands he said to me everything wont be so bad! I think I'll go out "--------" "--------" all night long cuz if I go out "--------" then I can stop thinkin' bout how the world done me wrong I think I'll go out "--------" (think I'll go out "--------"') "--------" all night long ("--------" all night long) cuz if I go out "--------" then I can stop thinkin' about how the worlds done me how the worlds done me wrong (so wrong) ------------------------------------------------- Song #16 Perhaps its time to question ; all these things I’ve been doing for so long So wrong SO much I need not mention, but the need within me is so strong I know that the answer is beside me As I have believed from the start But its just so hard for me to go there In spite of all these aching feelings I Just don’t want this all to fall apart And when I look into your eyes Its more like looking at myself Thru someone else Like nothing else ALL THIS PAIN AND HATRED Never knowing from whence it came And I’m playing this game It's always the same In all this there’s one thing I should ask you That you should always remain true Even if I’m gone you’ll still remember Its just hard when nothings right and Everything is out of sight tonite I don’t wanna leave yet How could you think that I could love Somebody new? Someone like you? As the night fades into a day I thought it’d be something you should know But I guess Ill survive another night Waiting to create another me That only you can see. -------------------------------------------------- Song #17 It's been all the same The wasted words The way I'm feeling strange Colours gone the way Of empty rooms And leaning over days Letterbox in TV frame I let you in, you'd do the same Credit photograph And maybe I can laugh if off again I love your "--------" It keeps me outta line I try to simplify The complicated kind I got an alibi If you're so inclined Everything is beautiful I don't know why it had to be this way I recall the blame The failing terms, the light revealing stain A fabric starts to frey With every line of thought begins decay Letterbox in TV frame No reaction to a claim Credit photograph It made me laugh so I can start again Falling in disgrace, listen to the laughter What a terrible waste. I can hardly wait ----------------------------------------------------- Song #18 You can't resist her. She's in your bones. She is your marrow And your ride home. You can't avoid her. She's in the air... in the air In between molecules of Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide. [chorus] "--------" We see what it means. Reach out our hands. Hold onto hers. But when we wake It's all been erased. And so it seems "--------". You walk up to her. Ask her to dance. She says, "Hey, baby, I just might take the chance." You say, "It's a good thing That you float in the air... in the air. That way there's no way I will crush your pretty toenails into a thousand pieces." [chorus] "--------". (x6) ----------------------------------------------- Song #19 You cut me down a tree And brought it back to me And that's what made me see Where I was going wrong You put me on a shelf And kept me for yourself I can only blame myself You can only blame me And I could write a song A hundred miles long Well that's where I belong And you belong with me And I could write it down And spread it all around Get lost and then get found or "--------" You put me on a line And hung me out to dry And darling, that's when I decided to go see You cut me down to size And opened up my eyes Made me realize What I could not see And I could write a book The one they'll say that shook The world and then it took It took it back from me And I could write it down And spread it all around Get lost and then get found And you'll come back to me Not "--------" And I could write a song A hundred miles long Well that's where I belong And you belong with me The streets you're walking on A thousand houses long Well, that's where I belong And you belong with me Oh, what good is it to live With nothing left to give Forget, but not forgive Not loving all you see All the streets you're walking on A thousand houses long Well, that's where I belong And you belong with me Not "--------" You belong with me Not "--------" Yeah, you belong with me Not "--------" -------------------------------------------- Song #20 Do you believe in heaven above? Do you believe in love? Dont tell a lie, dont be false or untrue! it all comes back to you! Open fire on my burning heart never been lucky in love... my defenses are down.. the kids are a frown.. I can't survive on my own The voice walks in, taps his name in my heart I turn and run away Everyday we both let it be stray; its hard to be lucky in love it gets in your eyes, and itsmaking you cry! dont know what to do! dont know what to do! your looking for love calling heaven above! "---------" "---------" RIGHT NOW! RIGHTTTT NOW! "---------" "---------" Right now! RIGHT NOW! Empty dreams can only disappoint in a room behind your smile! But DONT give up! dont give up! you can be lucky, in love! it gets in your eyes and its making you cry! dont know what to do! dont know what to do! Your looking for love calling heaven above! "---------" "---------" RIGHT NOW! RIGHTTTT NOW! "---------" "---------" Right now! RIGHT NOW! "---------" "---------" RIGHT NOW! RIGHTTTT NOW! "---------" "---------"
