Pack up your things
Your work here is done
A slave to the beast
No mercy with time
(No mercy with time)

They brand you with the fire
Then push you into the sun
They want the free land to expire
They want everyone to be numb
The worlds drinking from a cup that no one wants to share
Words from the king that no one wants to hear

Don't be running late are you on time today (x4)

Retrench me because of machines
Kids trading roses for guns
Track marks under the sleeve
I can't talk I need to run
Loves thrown away the ring
Not knowing what to say
Mama won't you sing
It's like you're cut by the blade

Don't be running late are you on time today (x4)

Don't be running late are you on time today (x4)
(Don't be running late)

Don't be running late (till the end)

You know what they say about getting older
It's only a doorway away
You know what they say about getting colder
In the middle of the day
You can live in the corner of my room
And I will live somewhere between the ceiling and the wall
And if I need anything at all
I'll call out to you
That's what I'll do

Oh here we go again (x4)

I'll sit out on the front sofa while your hands they talk to me
All of this dragging around it's not as fun as it used to be

Oh here we go again (x4)

All that I wanted all that I needed (x2)

Oh here we go again (x4)

. . .


I don't know just what I'll do
Everytime you walk into the room
Oh my head is spinning around
And I can't see clearly right now

I'm wasted
I'm so wasted on you (x2)

I don't know if I'll survive
In this magical land behind your eyes
And there's all these funny little men
They're all asking me to dance and sing

I'm wasted
I'm so wasted on you (x2)

Red and yellow pink and green purple and orange and blue
All of the colours I see my love everytime I see you

I'm wasted
I'm so wasted on you (x2)

. . .


I bit my tongue in the ark of conversation
I don't know why
I don't know why
I met you once and I'd fallen for your notions
I don't know why
I don't know why

Do you believe that there is treasures in the ocean
Did I say I'm just a boy
One kiss from you and I'm drunk up on your potion
That big old smile is all you wore

Girl you make me want to feel
Things I've never felt before
Girl you make me want to feel
Did I say I'm just a boy
Did I say I'm just a boy
You can hold me to that

No lonely hands grab my suitcase full of nothing
I don't know why
I don't know why

You took me in gave me something to believe in
That big old smile is all you wore
Girl you make me want to feel
Things I never felt before
Girl you make me want to feel
Did I say I'm just a boy
Did I say I'm just a boy
You can hold me to that

. . .


(Hello)

There goes the gal
In the pretty skirt with the
Golden smile that made you feel new
Like when the marching band strolls the street
You know another years come too soon
So you took her hand and she gave a look that sent you to the moon
And there you spoke the words of a gentleman
Can I have this dance with you
Can I share this dance with you
Won't you come on home
I built us a flying machine
And we'll go where you want
and we'll sail the seven seas
I hope all is well in daisys dreams

There goes the gal
Yeah the pretty bird on the golden mile that made you feel real
She took withon to the stars
She don't make no big deal
There she sits with them big old fields of daisies and rusted mills
And when the sun it shines on her hair of gold
She's beautiful
She's beautiful
Won't you come on home
I built us a flying machine
And well go where you want well sail the seven seas
I hope all is well in daisys dreams

Da de de da da

I blame you Hollywood
For showing me things you never should
Show a young girl
In this cruel world

Because life's not a happy ending
I'm sure there are some
Like Johnny and June
And maybe other people too

They all would have been killed
In the sound of music
Ladada ladada
They would have found out that
Pinocchio could never tell the truth

She never would have made it to shore
The little mermaid. He would have married a whore
From a wealthy family, after all he wasn't royalty

Cinderella would have scrubbed those floors
Till her hands grew old and tired
And nobody would look her way
That's the way it goes today

I blame you Hollywood
For showing me things you never should
Show a young girl
In this cruel world

Because life's not a happy ending
I'm sure there are some
Like Johnny and June
And maybe other people too

And maybe other people too (x5)
Like me and you

. . .


Sun lights up the day time
You light up my life
The hand that calls you forward
Is the hand that leaves me behind

And I stand on the ocean shore
Like an old black and white movie
Love is here, love is lost, again tonight

Hold me, hold me tonight
Hold me, hold me tonight

You've got a book like this
To keep me alive
And if it's not a rainy day
You simply don't go outside

And you're tired of everything
All of the girls and the boys
And you're tired of everything
All of your precious toys

Hold me, hold me tonight
Hold me, hold me tonight

Sun lights up the daytime
You light up my life
The hand that calls you forward
Is the hand, that leaves me behind

Hold me, hold me tonight
Hold me, hold me tonight

. . .


Heard the rattle from the train
Sounds of a hundred people
Maybe more
Cut through the ropes before you came
I had a dream that you were gone

I'm in the days of throwing rocks
When I saw your picture on a silver coin
Stole a kiss through your golden locks
I had a dream that you were gone
Woke up and you were gone

All this love has gone away
Cause I didn't have the heart or strength to say
I'll miss you when you're gone
I'll miss you when you're gone
I'll miss you when you're gone
I'll miss you when you're gone

Heard the rattle from the chains
This goddamn room it gets so small sometimes
...
I had a dream that you were gone
Woke up and you were gone

All this love has gone away
Cause I didn't have the heart or strength to say
I'll miss you when you're gone
I'll miss you when you're gone
I'll miss you when you're gone
I'll miss you when you're gone

. . .


As the music roared
We moved through the crowd
I kissed your lips
There was no one around
There was no one around

In a house made of glass
There's a boy throwing rocks
Every love's like his last
Cause you're heart's all you got
Yeah your heart's all you got

(Chorus)
Cause it's been so long since you've been around
I've never missed a stranger before
I think it's love
it's Judas' call
I've never missed a stranger before like you

She wore lace 'round her hair
Yeah she looked like queen
With eyes so fair
She was something of a dream
She was something of a dream

(Chorus)X2

. . .


I met him down by the bay
He said life is a stranger
That won't go away

He took me by surprise
And I felt for the first time
what it's like to be alive

I'm a soldier
But I don't know how to fight
I'm your best friend
But I'm scared to see you tonight
I'm the darkness
But I want to be the light
Oh how I want to be
Oh how I want to be

I met him down by the sea
Said I look like someone he knew
I said I don't know anyone
So how could I possibly know you

He touched my hand
Finally I understand
What it means to be here with you

I'm a soldier
But I don't know how to fight
I'm your best friend
But I'm scared to see you tonight
I'm the darkness
But I want to be the light
Oh how I want to be
Oh how I want to be

Ladida ladada ladada
Ladida lada lada
Ladida ladadada ladada
Ladadadadadadada

I'm a soldier
But I don't know how to fight
I'm your best friend
But I'm scared to see you tonight
I'm the darkness
But I want to be the light
Oh how I want to be
Oh how I want to be

Oh how I want to be
Oh how I want to be

. . .


I'm going round
I'm going round to my friends house
To get myself high
It takes me to a different place
Where nothing leaves my mind
But men in blue knocked on my door
And said “I've come to kill off your kind”
It's the killing of the mind

The circus came
Then packed up their things
When there's no ones around
We'll be high as kings
Without the things
Like jewels and gold

I'm rolling down
I'm rolling down to my hotel
Between the lines
The paperboy still looks the same
As the old get old
And the young are feeling fine

A soldier came knocked down my walls
And said “I've come to kill off your kind”
It's the killing of the mind

The circus came
Then packed up their things
When there's no one around
We'll be high as kings
Without the things
Like jewels and gold

The circus came
Then packed up their things
When there's no one around
We'll be high as kings
Without the things
Like jewels and gold

. . .


Down by the seashore
The waves are bigger than normal
I ask you if I could flipper out

You say don't think so
I just want you to believe
Even though I know
It's impossible for me

There goes another day
Don't suppose I'll come out to play with you
I'll just sit at home, write another song
About how I wanted to

Down by the seashore
I'll say it's the spray
I'm not crying
It's such a little thing anyway

There goes another day
Don't suppose I'll come out to play with you
I'll just sit at home, write another song
About how I wanted to

All I wanted was for you to believe
All I wanted was for you to believe
All I wanted was for you to believe in me
All I wanted was...

There goes another day
Don't suppose I'll come out to play with you
I'll just sit at home, write another song
About how I wanted to

. . .


The moon has blocked the sun
That I haven't seen for days
It walks the street as the chimneys burn
I'll drink some beers as I find my way

My way home, my way home
My way home, my way home

Th streets were made for horse and cart
They talk to mine behind closed doors

Stood in the rain to feel the part
This maze I stand of concrete walls

My way home, my way home
My way home, my way home

Suspicious corpse without a face
The screen lights a hidden dim

This black hawk can't find its place
Through the night we swim

My way home, my way home
My way home, my way home
