So I'll wait for you Where I always wait Behind the signs that sell the news I'll watch for you like yesterday And hope for you One day that once Spent out on me And up 'til late I search for you Your hat pushed straight Away from me Your measured step Heads up you win Always too late If I could just once catch your eye Invisible against the words That hold you down in solitude And never let you go The way that every time My eyes just close Like lids of wooden men in file I put you under rainy day Your hat's all off And I'm gone away
As he wakes from this bed [as he breaks this spell?], still young and wistful out this dream of life and lose us sleeping stone rack [rat?], blind consumed by phantom pain and displays of greed He slips from out this shadow land and pain where heads grow sorrow grey and age destroys all hope and spirits crush the men and hide the world [word?] The worthless watch the soft sky smile The breathless hear the roll wind song like [white?] death in [??] no more [moral?] of life [love?] divine Dream yourself away, he calls Eternity awaits us all Open your eyes and be with me.. be with me.. As he breaks the chains, still-young despairs Hateful shades of treacherous time Lose a sleeping, torchered mute devoured by ghosts in shapes of love Slips through ties of dust to be the one we dream - he lives up high if everything we feel the young and beautiful and brave of heart The worthless watch the soft sky smile The breathless hear the roll wind song like death in [??] no more [moral?] of life [love] divine Dream yourself away, he calls Eternity awaits us all Open your eyes and be with me.. be with me.. Dream yourself away, he calls Eternity awaits us all Open your eyes and be with me forever..
Nothing ever changes Nothing ever moves I swim around in circles In the same old lifeless room And talk about the mirror man The whispers in my ear again The hot and sticky pillow man Is smothering my face again Nothing ever changes Nothing ever moves And I run around hysterical In dead persistent gloom And babble out in simile Like dog-head-monkey-music me Shut up shut up shut up shut up Shut up And let me breathe...
The big hand makes all of your favourite things Like all your dreams go small And all your friends run away Until your memories fall And the words don't fit But the way the big hand smiles You just won't care about it The big hand makes all of your favourite things Like all your days run out And all your hopes disappear And your smiles just stop And your eyes go dead And the shadows start to crawl In the back of your head But when the big hand speaks It's like fireworks and heaven So you listen don't think And wish for nothing at all And when the big hand sings It's like fireworks and friends Leaving alone I'm not Leaving alone Leaving alone I'll never Leave alone again So when the big hand holds up all your favourite things And with a touch like glass Starts to squeeze You don't ask 'Why me?' You just slip to the floor Just slip to your knees But when the big hand speaks It's like fireworks and heaven So you listen don't think And wish for nothing at all And when the big hand sings It's like fireworks and friends Leaving alone I'm not Leaving alone Leaving alone never leaving alone Leaving alone I'm not Leaving alone Leaving alone I'm not leaving alone again
Breathe Breathe on me Be like you used to be Breathe on me Move in me Be like you used to be Move in me Move in me Be with me Be like you used to be With me With me
Don't look, don't look The shadows breathe Whispering me away from you Don't wake at night to watch her sleep You know that you will always see This trembling (?) towers a bird mad girl Every night I burn Every night I call your name Every night I burn Every night I fall again Don't talk of love 'cause shadows blur Murmuring me away from you Don't talk of worlds that never were The end is always ever true There's nothing you can ever say Nothing you can ever do Still every night I burn Every night I scream your name Every night I burn Every night the dream's the same Every night I burn Waiting for my only friend Every night I burn Waiting for the world to end Just paint your face and shadow smile Slipping me away from you Oh it doesn't matter how you hide Find you if we're wanting to So slide back down and close your eyes Sleep awhile - you must be tired When every night I burn Every night I call your name Every night I burn Every night I fall again Every night I burn Scream the animal screams Every night I burn Dream the crow black dream (repeat) Dream the crow black dream Dream the crow black dream Dream the crow black dream Dream the crow black dream
Please wake up It's so dark and cold Please wake up I feel so alone And I feel so scared That you're going away And I feel so scared... All I want is summer Stories from before Just like the day you tried to hide Behind the churchyard wall And fell asleep before I came I found you In a chain of flowers Sleeping like a marble girl Sleeping in another world... I'll never tell you Of all the different ways You make me so afraid...
Ein zwei drei vier Steve oh yeah Platinum all the way Do the hansa Do the hansa...
I couldn't hear a word you said I couldn't hear at all You talked until your tongue fell out And then you talked some more I knew if I turned I'd turn away from you And I couldn't look back Tell yourself we'll start again Tell yourself it's not the end Tell yourself it couldn't happen Not this way Not today
Like a feeling that I'm down Down inside my heart Like I'm looking out through Splitting bloodred Windows in my heart From a higher up than heaven And a harder down than stone Shake the fear that always clawing Pulls me clawing down alone As I spitting splitting bloodred Breaking windows in my heart And the past is taunting Fear of ghosts Is forcing me apart And the further I get From the things that I care about The less I care about How much further away I get... I am lost again With everything gone And more alone Than I have ever been I expect you to understand To feel it too But I know that even if you will You cannot ever help me Nor can I Ever help you
The look before I go Is the look for you You only have to look and it will all come true And we can fall outside Into the fizzy night Or pull me down in here You know it's all the same I only want to see if you are happy again Or we can roll around And find out upside down A few hours after this and we're apart again Like two white checks Like opposite poles In a secret game (Like nothing like these I suppose...) I really should have known by the cut of your smile That the answer would be simple It still took you awhile to get it out of me I thought you'd do it easily Just put your hands around my heart And squeeze me until I'm dry I never thought you'd ever start to ever ask me why I never saw you again
Christabel strips And slips like a dream Breaking ice with arms that gleam with pain Disdain... She throws her head And glides against the stream Throwing me her bravest smile Defiant Glittering Shivering guile "Catching a cold is quick this time But fish?... Fish may take a while..." Christabel dips and slips from me And hand pushed deep inside is suddenly free Triumphant Reluctantly Struggling six legs held up for me to see "Don't be scared It's nothing new It's the same old game; only fun with two..." But fast and over and over "I can't play this game with you" Everything she tries to tell me Leaves me open mouthed and still Foolishly arrange tomorrow The way I always will Christabel trips And grips my hand But never to be saved For a second I understand And I fall with her... "I'll never leave you Love you See you change into the man I want But it's not for long this thing It's not for long..."
I never felt like this with anyone before you only have to smile and I'm dizzy you make the world go round a thousand times an hour just touch my head and send me spinning I never felt like this with anyone before you show me colours and I'm crying you hold my eyes in yours and open up the world i can't believe all of this i want to keep this feeling deep inside of me i want you always in my heart you are everything i never felt like this with anyone before you fill my head full of rainbows and all the rainbows end is every step you take just to be with you forever i want to keep this feeling deep inside of me i want you always in my heart you are everything
I'll never understand (Come closer and I'll whisper) Who was that standing in the rain? If only I could remember What he said (And how it all began) Happy the man With the face that smiles But it has to have a name (Something strong, something faithful, something pure) How does he look so safe? He'll never Never turn away Happy the man
Nothing ever gets in my way Nothing ever get on my mind Nothing ever makes me stop to think about nothing of the kind Nothing ever loses me sleep Nothing ever wins my heart Nothing ever makes want to sing along Nothing makes me want to start If I'm falling down a mountain and I pick myself up If I crash into an aspen I don't give a frightful Look around If I am burning I put myself out I'm so completely full I scare the world all the world inside out Just look around Just look... Nothing ever puts me out Nothing ever pulls me in Nothing ever makes me want to jump Nothing makes me want to begin Nothing ever gets me down Nothing ever gets me uptight Nothing ever makes me run around Nothing makes me feel alright If I'm hanging from a big tree I cut myself down if I look into the sun I just don't make a sound If I swallow two galbanums I spit them right out I'm so completely full I scare the world, yeah all the world inside out Just look around Just look around Just look around Nothing ever gets in my way Nothing ever gets on my mind Nothing ever makes me stop to think about nothing of the kind Harold and Joe go go go Harold and Joe go go go Sing but...
Spit out the shout of a warning Death is an honour with doubts So you live in the end And you mistrust the start Because you don't think it counts But you'll pay for yourself You'll pay for yourself You're just a heroin face You see a heroin face in the mirror And someone is clutching your breath And you believe in the needle of night You're only doing your best But you'll pay for yourself You'll pay for yourself You believe in the needle of night And someone is cluthing your breath So you mistrust the start By always running away But you'll never come back You're just a heroin face Heroin face
You're begging me to stay But I'm laughing in your face You're so desperate Not to let those years of care All go to waste But it was you who wanted love Not romance You have to pay the price My body may be made of fire But my soul is made of ice I'm me I'm cold I'm cold I'm told I'd love to love you girl But my body Has just been sold

I want to be old And creek by the fire I want to smell of rotting wood It's all I desire I want my joints to seize up I want my legs to ache I want my eyesight to fail I want my skin to flake To be old I want to be old I want false teeth And not be able to chew I want to be senile A centigenarian fool I want lots of wrinkles Want my hearing to go I want to be ignored And I want to be slow To be old I want to be old
I'm going back to the land of the blind Back to the land where the sun never shines I'm going back there and I'm hoping to find Everything just as it was before I left it all behind I slept at nights there hysterically Twisted and turned But I just couldn't get free Opened my eyes But I still couldn't see But I could feel her China white girl So I get down on the floor Like I am worshipping god Burning like a monkey I get down on the floor Like I am praying to the lord Burning like a monkey That was a Japanese dream alright The sound of the storm And the flickering light And the way that her scent used to fill up the night like... Like her scent used to fill up the night So I get down on the floor Like I am worshipping god Burning like a monkey I get down on the floor Like I am praying to the lord Burning like a monkey Just look at me now Just look at me this way It looks like I am quite insane It looks like I am trying to eat off my face It looks like I'm going to the land of the blind anyway Back where the sun never shines Back to the land of the blind Back in a Japanese dream
I woke up at seven and my body was vibrating I was wrapped up in a blanket I was grey Damp and sore The bedroom was an engine and my heartbeat was erratic (Like I think I'm at the racing Like the night before) I remember one girl standing One was sitting on the ground One was holding me up The other pulling me down And I couldn't decide which one was real Because there wasn't a sound (Like I was pregnant again...) "Don't move don't blink don't even breathe" she said "Or the photograph will spoil And cut you off at the head" So I was sucking I was suncking like a fat lady would But I couldn't hold it down another second "Don't twitch don't shout don't think don't even breathe" she said "Or the photograph will spoil and cut you off at the head" So I was sweating I was sweating like a fat lady would And I woke up With a man inside my mouth (This won't hurt at all)
You look so cool Oh I don't think Just fall over be like me Mr. Pink Eyes Your mind is blank And mine's away Oh you can't see You can't smell Mr. Pink Eyes It's got to be jazz That's what she wants You are so vile Mr. Pink Eyes Oh give me a look Give me a look Or sit on my head Or jump on my foot Do something
New day In heaven the ground is waiting For the dust The seed My love once more I shout New day Hold the air and gasp in life This solid dance This cold cold night Is gone The dark heat throbs The fools sweat swims The hazy light The deadly sins Are gone Crack the stone Invade my head Dropping honey dropping dead again The silence shouts Across the gap Another dreaming Love me again Shout
i don't think i'm any closer now than i was at fifteen i still don't know what i really want or how i really feel sometimes i think i've seen too much sometimes nothing at all and sometimes i think i just forgot and i am so confused i still need to believe in you i still need to know you'll never never give up i believe in you so how can you ever let my hope turn to despair how can you ever stop telling me you care i still need to believe in you i still need to know you'll never never give up i believe in you so how can you ever let my hope turn to despair tell me you believe it too tell me that you care how can you ever let my hope turn to despair how can you ever stop pretending
I've been up for days And I feel like a menagerie I'm scratching 'til I bleed And I keep on seeing Imaginary lemurs In the street In the middle of the day But as long as I can breathe Then I know I'll be OK I'll be alright I'm out of mind I'm out of sight I'm out of sight I've been up for days And I feel like a laboratory rat Inside a maze And I reel in the monotony of Screaming At the moon In the middle of the day But as long as I can see it Then I know I'll be ok I'll be fine I'm out of sight I'm completely out of mind Completely out of mind OK Alright Come and watch me shake tonight Mouth wide Soft and bright Bite my hand and scream OK Alright Come and watch me break tonight Push deep Out of sight Bite my hand and hold on tight
Electric line Racing time Fire down the wall Spinning around The killing ground It makes you look so small Henna years The stinging tears Flesh on the railway track The screaming queen On the TV screen Is never coming back Don't suffer no more Just step inside and listen Listen to my pillbox tales Your special days Your winning ways You're living out the past You're lying lies And tying ties And running much too fast But you feel so sick If you run too quick And wishing every day Wishing you were years away Don't suffer no more Just step inside and listen Listen to my pillbox tales
day after day I let you down promise you to change then change my mind and every time I promise you it will all be fine it won't be like this next time the days you wait turn into years always wait helpless tears hopeless nights and all the fears it will always be like this you give me everything you have hoping it will someday be enough to melt my heart to make me fall in love day after day I let you down promise you to change it all then change my mind and every time I promise you soon be fine it won't be like this next time but tonight we play I think the final set I push to hard and you crack walk away don't look back this time you've really gone you give me everything you have knowing it can never be enough my heart's too old too hard too cold for you to love

I stopped the car the other day I had to ask a little girl the way I thought she'd show me better if she got inside And once inside I thought I'd take her for a little ride So I see the children feel the children See the children feel the children all the time See the children feel the children See the children feel the children all the time I'm the supermarket santa underneath the Christmas tree The little ones all like to come sit upon my knee I have to hold them tightly cause they fall to the floor A little concern It's against the law So I see the children feel the children See the children feel the children all the time See the children blush and uhh... ...All the time I pass by the infant school every single day I push sweeties through the fence but the kids just run away I only want to talk with them and join in thier fun But all the little children knew to Run run run run run run run...
High up on this mountain The whole world looks so small And all the rivers Run away Slipping in your deep green heart I drink you as I swim And I'm sliding And I'm sliding with you Slide beneath my skin Sleek and deep And salty sweet You open up in me Just like the snow in summer High up on this mountain The whole world looks so small And all the rivers Run away Slipping in your soft white heart I drink you as I swim And I'm falling And I'm falling with you Fall beneath my skin Sleek and deep And salty sweet You come And close in me Just like the snow in summer Just like the snow in summer As it melts Into the sea
Shape is still Asleep With the toys As tall as men The pictures in the hallway Turning inside Whispers Unseen Jumping against the sky Slipping away He looks For the last time...
Let me forget let me forget Or let me go let me go I'll keep it quiet as a whisper I'll keep it low low low Never The biggest word I ever heard Stop dead Stop dead You're getting too close Before you even opened your eyes I moved about a million ways I killed about a million people And filled about half a day Before you even opened your eyes You had to have to ask me who I love it I mean you My face was in your hands You looked into my eyes You said I tasted right And swallowed me alive
Oh I wish I could find it funny You laughing like that But instead I change into a rage And run around Without a face I wish I could find it funny When you never came back But I don't suppose I'll ever know The how to keep you Goodbye sugar girl Goodbye sugar girl
I lift my lips from kissing you to kiss the sky cloud soft and blue and slow the sun melts down into your golden words for me I lift my hands from touching you to touch the wind that whispers through this twilight garden turns into a world where dreams are real no-one will ever take your place I am lost in you no-one will ever take your place so in love with you I lift my eyes from watching you to watch the star rise shine onto your dreaming face and dreaming smile you're dreaming worlds for me I lift my lips from kissing you and kiss the sky wide deepest blue and slow the moon swims up into your golden words for me no-one will ever take your place I am lost in you no-one will ever take your place so in love with you
It's funny how your face gets bigger Gets bigger in this atmosphere And your mouth goes dry With every move you try It's so funny here Jumping around -- click click click When you're so slow It's like the world is stopping Fifteen times I try this And every time I faint You look at me and Start to tell the joke About the man who couldn't stop Hiccupping It would be so perfect If you would just fall out the window Throw your foot away You're tired and your face is grey Like the sad old fool You groove Hey hey hey
One perfect morning I was all alone Listening to the blaze of summer Drifting, I was falling, I was floating in a golden haze Breathing in the sky-blue sun of memories of other days And in my dreams I was a child Flowers in my mouth and in my eyes And I was floating through the colors of the sky Up to the stars and angels Up, up, up to heaven Up, up, up forever (repeat) Turning in my prime I looked down on a lake Traced upon the water there I saw your face Descending with redemption of the times we've shared Pushed down ever then up into the sky And in my dreams I was a child Flowers in my mouth and in my eyes And I was floating through the colors of the sky Up to the stars and angels Up, up, up to heaven Up, up, up forever
Dressed in Berlin black I was only playing Disguise my words to fool you From what I was saying Mud trench Meat stench The fatherland is looking on Grip you in a luger lock This will be the big one World war No one would believe me No one's a winner No one's a loser Just a dead friend Heaven heaven Give me pride Give me a golden hand Smash them with an iron rule Spit them out like sand Sit and wait Then run like hell Run like hell one time again Sow the seeds of hate Underneath destruction World war No one would believe me No one's a winner No one's a loser Just a dead friend World war No one would believe me No one's a winner No one's a loser Just a dead friend
