How many lies have you told today
Into the dark of your coffee cup
To cover up your footprints
How many times have I heard you say stay
Won't you let me tie you up?
With minor cords and smoke rings
Can anybody with truthful eyes
See anybody they recognize
Careful confusion is a thin disguise
And I think you're losing it
I hear you've found someone to take the blame
Playmate, is it true?
She's fuel on your roaring fire
I hear she's nice but messed up just the same
Sweet kamikaze, dying proof
That down is this season's higher
Can anybody with truthful eyes
See anybody they recognize
Careful confusion is a thin disguise
And I think you're losing
It seems you're losing
I think you're losing it
Can anybody with truthful eyes
See anybody they recognize
Careful confusion is a thin disguise
And I think you're losing it |

Take what you want from me
Take what you can
And then hide it somewhere I can't see
Out of my hands
Do what it takes to make you feel better
Never forget that you
You're nobody's man
I love the way you set me off
With a stroke of your hand
And your puzzled look when we make love
That you don't understand
But nothing I've got will make you feel better
At the break of dawn you'll still
Be nobody's man
Nobody feels the weight of your mission
Nobody can set you free
Nobody knows the way to your fortune
Nobody and least of all...
Me
So come and lay by my side
In my castle of sand
Let's love til the early tide
Breaks down the dam
Stay if you want for worse or for better
But never forget that you
You're nobody's man
Nobody feels the weight of your mission
Nobody can set you free
Nobody knows the way to your fortune
Nobody and least of all...
Me
You... You... You... You...
Nobody feels the weight of your mission
Nobody can set you free
Nobody knows the way to your fortune
Nobody and least of all...

Where are you now, my friend?
Pulling your bike past their windows again?
You know they won't let you in
You don't change the city
The city changes you
Where are you now, my love?
Still in the war with the Aphrodite Mob?
What was I thinking of?
You don't change the city
The city...
You close your eyes
Fall into the rhythm
Under the lights
You don't see the shadows
Your shadow watches you
Where does it go, my love?
A mere song that echoes from the rooftops above
You've given all but please don't give up
You don't touch the magic
The magic touches you
Under the lights
We fall into the rhythm
We close our eyes
We don't watch the city
The city... You... |

Give in to your confusion
There's no good in hiding
Why you're unusual
Leave it behind, then change your mind
Take what you find, it will be good enough
Too young to be heros
Too old to play April fools
Too smart to be honest
We've got too much to lose
It's too late to be perfect
And it's not like we haven't tried
It's hard but it's worth it
Every time we get it right
Every time you give in
And go where it takes you
Stand by the feeling
Even if it breaks you
It's always a guess which way is the best
Take what you find and make it good enough
Too young to be heros
Too old to play April fools
Too smart to be honest
We've got too much to lose
It's too late to be perfect
And it's not like we haven't tried
It's hard but it's worth it
Every time we get it right
And even when you're lost inside yourself
Even when too weak to cry for help
Even when you can't put up a fight
Even when you're broken you aren't quite
Maybe it's the struggle that you need
Something to disturb you in your sleep
A kiss of madness on your cheek
When will you see you've got to
Give in to you confusion
Leave it behind, then change your mind
Take what you find, let it be good enough
Too young to be heros
Too old to play April fools
Too smart to be honest
We've got too much to lose
Too young to be heros
It's too late to be perfect
And it's not like we haven't tried
It's hard but it's worth it
Every time we give |

It doesn't matter where you've been – how far
It doesn't matter how run down you are
Or if there's nothing perfect left in your heart
No, it all means nothing, it all means nothing, it all means nothing at all, at all
I've told you every selfish lie I know
I've taken falls from dizzy heights - I've let go
But there is a simple truth to find below
Where it all means nothing, it all means nothing, it all means nothing at all, at all
I'm on the edge for you
Losing my head for you
I'm in the red for you
Tonigh, tonight
Until my hopes fall through
There's nothing else I can do
I'm in the red for you
Tonight, tonight
I'm on a rescue
Love is a thousand shades of grey – and we know
There's not a safe or certain way to go
But when we've seen all, uneasiness and hate, it will show
That it all means nothing, it all means nothing, it all means nothing at all, at all
I'm on the edge for you
Losing my head for you
I'm in the red for you
Tonigh, tonight
Until my hopes fall through
There's nothing else I can do
I'm in the red for you
Tonight, tonight
Until my hopes fall through
There's nothing else I can do I'm in the red for you
Tonight
I'm on a rescue.... |

The streets are dark, the night is cold
Shadows dance in every window
The wind is biting through my coat
As evening fades I'm waiting to rise
We met this August afternoon
His insight threw me like a typhoon
And I was frail, I think he knew
Whispered words of great escapes
Now's the time to break away
He said...
Meet me at the head shop
Forget yourself and leave it all behind
Wait at the bus stop tonight
Meet me at the head shop
And let me free and open up your mind
You and I will take off tonight
The city wakes the sirens call
To remind me why I don't remember
I'm kicking trash against the wall
Evening fades, still waiting to rise
No-one escapes undisguised
He said...
Meet me at the head shop
Forget yourself and leave it all behind
Wait at the bus stop tonight
(And I'm still waiting)
Meet me at the head shop
And let me free and open up your mind
You and I will take off tonight
To let the colours run
To bite the loaded gun
To let the tables turn
To let the moment crash and burn
To take a solid stand
However hard you land
To wait another day
To leave yourself and run away
He said...
Meet me at the head shop
Forget yourself and leave it all behind
Wait at the bus stop tonight
(And I'm still waiting)
Meet me at the head shop
And let me free and open up your mind
But he never turned up that night... |

So you've messed it up
Don't know when to stop
Said more than enough
I've touched you where it hurts
And I know I'm not the first
But please don't make it worse
Don't be so hard on yourself
Take it out on someone else
Say my name anyway you please
Use me
Look me in the eye
I'd love to see you smile
And I know how hard you try
Don't be so hard on yourself
Take it out on someone else
Say my name anyway you please
In the morning
You'll see a different side
In the morning
A softer light
In the morning
It will all look right
And you won't have to hide
Don't be so hard on yourself
Take it out on someone else
Say my name anyway you please
Don't be so hard on yourself
Take it out on someone else
Say my name anyway you please
Use me |

One
One touch can fill a life of longing
Not much is so much more than nothing
Yeah - All you need is
One
An open smile to win you over
One single step will bring you closer
Yeah - All it takes is one
And when you're running for cover
And you feel the sky falling down upon you
And when it feels like forever
Since you've seen the face of someone who loves you
Then one is all that you need
All that you need to keep you warm
Is all that you need
All that you need to move you on
It's all that you need
All you need is
One
One word to fill a room of silence
A hand to offer you some guidance
Yeah - All you need is
One
A moment long enough to notice
That everything's stepped into focus
Yeah - All it takes is one
And when you've running from questions
And it seems like uncertainty controls you
And when you looking for answers
In the eyes of somebody who knows you
Then one is all that you need
All that you need to keep you warm
All that you need
All that you need to move you on
Is all that you need
All that you need to get you home
All that you need
All you need is one |
| » Long Goodbye « |
I'm beginning to see the signs
Calling for me from in between the lines
I'm beginning to wonder how long
Before I go under?
It's a long goodbye
It's a sea too deep to dive
But I will do it on my own if I have to
I will go there all alone
'Cause I must pull through
I am falling in love again
With the sky up above and the warm summer wind
I am watching it change every day
Our worlds rearrange
But it's a long goodbye
It's a wall too high to climb
But I will do it on my own if I have to
I will go there all alone
'Cause I must break through
I will do it on my own if I have to
I will go there all alone
Just to get to you
But it's a long goodbye
It's a guard too strong to fight
It's a long goodbye
It's a sea too deep too dive... |
