It's all the same for all of us
A sinking ship to place your trust
It seems so huge to leave to chance

Who among you can resist
Her fingers wrapped around your wrist
From the beast she pulls a lover
From this world you'll need no other
From this world you'll need no other

When it's all too much for you to take
Take a step back for heaven sake
It seems so foolish in this light

Who among you can resist
Un furrowed brow and finger tips
From the beast she pulls a lover
From this world you'll need no other
From this world you'll need no other

. . .


All your precious souls
have been bought and sold
for bargain basement lows
to common criminals

Now you are having visions
Adverse flying conditions
over seas transmissions
to anyone who will listen

Waiting for the drums to kick in
you want to free your earthbound limbs
I am gonna count to three
then you are leaving here with me

Are we wasting all our precious time?
Chasing dollars chasing dimes
german english japanese
all the sand in all the seas
it's all in place
it's all laid out
as we speak it's going down
Oh don't forget me
regretfully
Here's the part that always gets me

You float across the room
your lips are in full bloom
pedals fall from your mouth
have you found me out?

we've been here before
a lovers civil war
I will wait religiously
don't forget you came here with me

Are we wasting all our precious time?
Chasing dollars chasing dimes
german english japanese
all the sand in all the seas
it's all in place
it's all laid out
as we speak it's going down
Oh don't forget me
regretfully
Here's the part that always gets me

. . .


I will admit I am embarrassed by your grace
And the complete look of boredom upon your face
You want to be a million miles from this place
You want to get on with my untimely disgrace.

I am alone I am in love with an idea
Sophisticated Neurological appeals
I want to negotiate some kind of a deal
I want to tear it open show you that it's real

Oh the things I will believe
Ignore the hundred lovers
You got hidden up your sleeve.
The words come easily
And they sound so lovely
I guess it's just as easy if you lie to me.

Everybody they got all kinds of advice
They want to tell you just how you should live your life.
But who exactly am I supposed to believe?
Am I supposed to let you walk away from me?

I know it's coming
I can feel it in my bones
This is information you already know
Even if it's only temporarily
Give the illusion tonight you belong to me

Oh the things I will believe
Ignore the hundred lovers
You got hidden up your sleeve.
The words come easily
And they sound so lovely
I guess it's just as easy if you lie to me.

. . .


We are only speaking from our conscience
He's gonna take us when he wants us
We only need a little piece
Somewheres in style
somewhere out of reach

If this is love I'm gonna lose there is no doubt
You're gonna chew me up and spit me out

A little faith a little money
You shouldn't laugh this isn't funny

We're gonna give back what we steal
Just say the word and I shall be healed

If I love you I'm gonna lose there is no doubt
You're gonna chew me up and spit me out
If I love you I'm gonna lose there is no doubt
Go ahead and chew me up and spit me out

. . .

Interlude 1

[No lyrics]

. . .


Oh it's never too late
To co-conspire commiserate
All it takes is a little bit of love and an awful lot of hate

Is it real?
Does it exist
I know it's wrong
But who am I to resist

All I want is one more time
Some of yours and some of mine

I don't want to spoil the fun but am I the only one who sees what's going on
Am I the only one who remembers the man from San Sebastian

It's just a few more miles
I'll make it smooth and worth your while
Oh don't look so nervous man
We're just here to lend a hand

I don't want to spoil the fun but am I the only one who sees what's going on
Am I the only one who remembers the man from San Sebastian

Am I the only one
Am I the only one
Am I the only one
Who remember the man from San Sebastian
From San Sebastian
From San Sebastian
Am I the only one
Am I the only one
San Sebastian
Am I the only one
Who remember the man from San Sebastian
From San Sebastian
From San Sebastian

. . .


You and I look good together
This day is getting a lot better
Let's get inside out of this weather
And there is no one loves you better
Than me my dear

You and I we're not so different
Exhaustible and inefficient
Following our intuition
To get back home
To get back home again

Our departure hour is getting closer
You are glowing like phosphorous
Of all the things I'll miss the most
If we ever get back home

You and I can conquer distance
Space and time and mass resistance
And I really must insist
You come with me my dear
Come with me my dear

You and I we're not so different
Exhaustible and inefficient
You and I look good together
Let's get inside out of this weather
There is no one loves you better
There is no one loves you better
Than me my dear
Than me my dear

Interlude 2

[No lyrics]

My sweet Signorina
I've come to see you
I got all dressed up
Million miles from home
I got nowheres to go

I've come solo baby I know
Things got all messed up
Come to you hat in hand
I swear I'm a changed man

I can see you here
With your broken heels
You still put them all to shame

Tesorina
Tesoro mio
I have been such a fool
What a love I have missed
For these days I have wished

Cucciola mia
I still need ya
Let the truth be told
The hills have no gold
The land has no heart
The men have no souls

And there's nothing here
Except these bad luck heels
You will put them all to shame

What have I got to show for this life
If I don't make this thing right
What have I done with this life
I won't make the same mistake twice
I won't let you out of my sight
I'm gonna set this thing right
You will be mine again
Tonight

Sweet Signorina
I can see you
You got all dressed up
Million miles from home
You got nowheres to go

Tesorina
Tesoro mio
You won't get very far
I will know where you are
Write your name in the stars

Fix your bad luck deals
Drink from broken heels
We will put them all to shame

. . .


Welcome my friends
Bienvenidos
Let's get on with the show
Mes amis and mis amigos
Baby it's time to go
Why you want to rely and the drugas
At least I know I'm alive
Anytime you want to use us
It's the only way we survive

Oh what is wrong with us
Gravitas Hubris Gravitas
Oh you sound so ruthless
When you say I'm not the man I used to be
Now you're scared of me

Soliloquy of local anesthesia
A little something for the pain
A mild case of amnesia
I am drawing a blank
I'm done serving my sentence
I don't want to die on the vine
I'm not here for repentance
I have come for what's mine

Oh what is wrong with us
Gravitas Hubris Gravitas
Oh you sound so ruthless
When you say I'm not the man I used to be
Now you're scared of me

You say I'm just being careless
It's a heightened state of awareness
I know that you couldn't care less
But I think this is quite serious

Tonight I see things so clearly
Descending black and white lines
Abandon those you hold dearly
Your calling is Divine
Vanishing the thing is vanishing
Swallowed up by the earth
My darling what are you brandishing
I thought I was your first

Oh what is wrong with us
Gravitas Hubris Gravitas
Oh you sound so ruthless
When you say it's time
To step out of the way
Another time
Another place

The time has come we must be on our way
Another time
Another place

The time has come to stand out of the way
Another time
Another place

The time has come we must be on our way
Another time
Another place

The time has come to stand out of the way
Another time
Another place

. . .


Have you come to bust me
You still don't trust me
Some things they will pass
Some things they must be

The troops are deserting
The backwater burning
Throw your boots in the fire
We won't be returning

Where where have you gone
My wide eyed Italian love song
When when will I learn
For this we all have been born
Are you with me
Are you still with me
Are you still with me
Or against me

Radio headquarters
We are approaching the border
Hide the contraband
Get your papers in order

Burn all that is useful
That's what we are reduced to
A life lies in repose
It's there if you choose to

Where where have you gone
My wide eyed Italian love song
When when will I learn
For this we all have been born
Are you with me
Are you still with me
Are you still with me
Or against me

Where where have you gone
My wide eyed Italian love song
When when will I learn
For this we all have been born
Are you with me
Are you still with me
Are you still with me
Or against me

. . .

Sunshine
