Phoenix Album

Things are gonna change
And not for better
Don't know what it means to me
but it's hopeless, hopeless...

Got to get you home
Could be with anyone
Think of what I've done, uh
You know it all

Everything is everything
Everything is everything
The more I talk about it
The less I do control
Everything means EVERYTHING
Can't understand a word
Half of the stuff I'm sayin'

The things I do possess
Sometimes they own me too
What they gonna do to me?
It's hopeless, hopeless...

What I can't explain
I'm sure you'll get it well
Since I always wanted
I always wanted you

Everything is everything
The more I talk about it
The less I do control
Everything means EVERYTHING
Can't understand a word
Half of the stuff I'm sayin'

Riding low, riding low, riding faster
If this is what I want
Look at what it did to me
Riding low, riding low, riding faster
If this is what you want
This is what you get instead
**
Everything is everything
The more I talk about it
The less I do control
Everything means EVERYTHING
Can't understand a word
Half of the stuff I'm sayin'

Riding low, riding low, riding faster
The more I talk about it
The less I do control
Riding low, riding low, riding faster
Can't understand a word
Half of the stuff I'm sayin'

Business calls me, trouble down the waterfront
You know, I tried to,now I'm running outta lies
It's a clear view, when all you are is gettin' paid
No more favors, I know what we can do about it

I think I'd better run, run, run
I think I'd better run, run, run
You didn't catch me fallin', fallin', fallin'
Fallin',fallin', fallin'

Contradictions get me everything I want
I'll let you know but I think it's gonna take a while
It's a clear view, noone's waiting at the door
A million letters, they couldn't make me change my mind

I think I'd better run, run, run
I think I'd better run, run, run
You didn't catch me fallin', fallin', fallin'
Fallin',fallin', fallin'

How you want it to be, sittin' by the waterfront
I know I should be drifting far enough to reach the shore
It's a clear view, don't you underestimate me
No more flavor I know that I can live without it

I think I'd better run, run, run
& leave those things for someone else
But I liked it
I don't even care
If you got to play the game you got to do it well

I'm an actor
I'm doin' well
& I want things to be done by someone
Who's taking care of me
I don't even care for me
I just care about what you think of me
Come and get me
I'm protected

If you ever come...late...
You'd better give me what I want

I'm addicted
It's growing strong
It's growing strong again
The consequences
I leave those things for someone else
Don't say I'm doing fine
I'm not even trying to

Bring it on & on & on & on & on & on & on
Bring it on & on & on & on & on & on & on
On & on

I'm addicted
It's growing strong
It's growing strong again
The consequences
I leave those things for someone else
Don't say I'm doing fine
I'm not even trying to

These days are gone
Loud enough to hold on
I think about the time we wasted
I think about the years to come
It's getting late and I can't call
It's getting late to face it all
I think about the time we wasted
My loneliness has slowly grown
I told you not to cross the line
& leave me with your love for granted
The letters from your broken heart
I think I might have lost them somewhere

Don't tell me 'bout your lies
Don't tell me 'bout your secrets

My love is easy
You are everything I need
Now your love is gone
I want it safe & guaranteed
Life is such a fine line
Looking at the bright line
I think about the time we wasted
For someday I'll be coming too
Tonight is dying on its own
& now I got your love for granted
It doesn't matter right or wrong
As long as you are hiding somewhere

Don't tell me 'bout your lies
Don't tell me 'bout your secrets

Even though we've said it all
I would never let us fall with you
Hang on to a little chance, you bet I'm in
If it is for better
I would never miss the call, it's true
Hang on to a little chance, you bet I'm in

Come, come
Dropping off the radar
Come, come
Dropping off the radar

Lost illusions, try the best that you can do
You might get another chance
Burn my leather coat, I need to change my suit
You don't listen to a single word I say

LIES + HIDDEN CODES = WHAT THEY DO
And you're the victim of the crime

Come, come
Dropping off the radar
Come, come
Dropping off the radar

Gettin' ready for a basic interview
They told me not to cross the line
I Lost the evidence, I'm running out of clues
That much I would have sacrificed

LIES + HIDDEN CODES = WHAT THEY DO
And you're the victim of the crime

There're too many fingers on the trigger
Guess how to play this game before you lose it
There's nothing I can do about it

Come, come
Dropping off the radar
Come, come
Dropping off the radar

Lately, I'm not expecting you
Please forgive me for stuff I didn't do
I sure was gonna

You're starting to fall...
Fall in a deeper state...
Watch out

You can't blame it on anybody
Some things they don't last
You can't blame it on anybody
I thought I'd entertain you
Let me take you to the heart of the city
Let me misunderstand you

Fallin' down I couldn't notice
She had some glasses on
Few broken bones in the process
I try to keep my attitude

Words of love in broken english
They have a lonesome tone
Didn't understand must be italian
Must be good looking undressed

You can't blame it on anybody
Some things they don't last
You can't blame it on anybody
I thought I'd entertain you
Let me take you to the heart of the city
Let me misunderstand you

With lil' care & lil' practice
I got to know her well
Light barytone she sings in a choir
With a bunch of guys out of tune

Day is night, right is wrong
Failure notice, I'm giving up I'm tired
Day is night, right is wrong
Love is all, love is evil
Day is night, right is wrong
Love is all, love is evil
Day is night, right is wrong
Obsolete, odd is even
Failure notice, I'm giving up I'm tired
Day is night, right is wrong
Love is all, love is evil
Day is night, right is wrong
Failure notice, I'm giving up I'm tired

You can't blame it on anybody
Some things they don't last
You can't blame it on anybody
I thought I'd entertain you
Let me take you to the heart of the city
Let me misunderstand you

[No lyrics]

If it's not with you
There is no thing that makes wanna settle down
I thought it was a bad cough
But never knew how much illusions hide a torture
Lonesome & forsaken with no gratitude
Who's goin' to tell, devotion's not your problem
It's me against a wardrobe
Focused on the pain to see how we can get along

Doing things, getting better
I'll move on

Together
The more I try the less I care about it
Together
And if you don't see yourself in the mirror, forget what you did
Together
The more I try the less I care about it
I'm giving up my conscience for another
The only one I want is you

Things I wouldn't do
Try to treat me like a friend, get another late call
I'll lose you for another
Cause you can't believe how much your pleasure is a factor
Writing down the logic of my solitude
As far as I'm concerned I'd like to leave it random
I'm acting like an orphan
Let me get to know you better to make me less attracted

Doing things, getting better
I'll move on

Together
The more I try the less I care about it
Together
And if you don't see yourself in the mirror, forget what you did
Together
The more I try the less I care about it
I'm giving up my conscience for another
The only one I want is you

Parisians all gone
Words they're all gone
Let me tell you
uh...uh...uh....

He told me a heart can't smile
If it's filled with tears
Growing up I thought "it's all gone"
Now it comes back to me, again

Ghetto uniform, collect calls
That I can explain
All the things I've ruined, abandoned
They come back to me

Holdin' on together I
Try to set the night on fire
Holdin' on together I
Try to set the night on fire

He told me for those who been drowned
There is no refrain
With one & only youth, a gospel
I do what I can

Holdin' on together I
Try to set the night on fire
Holdin' on together I
Try to set the night on fire

Though I've been trying
To lose it all before it's gone
Whatever comes, a heart can't smile if it's filled with tears
Though I've been waiting
All I got to do is call
I'm diving deeper,won't you get me out of this despair

Holding on together I
Try to set the night on fire
Holding on together I
Try to set the night on fire

My happiness inside us
Has nowhere else to fall
Troubles hearing through the telephone
It is filled with tears

Everybody says I'm a lonesome kind of guy
I've been defeated by them all
If they can find me
I'm done

Everybody knows that it really doesn't matter at all
All the good things that I've done
I'm up against the wall
How come my file has been deleted

If this is what they want
I can tell you that the order's alphabetical
Don't you get it
Sooner or later
I'll be recruited by someone

Everybody knows that it really doesn't matter at all
Everybody says I shouldn't mess with you no more
If you see me on my own
Drive on

If I were dismissed I would've gotten much more
If I wasn't that kind I wouldn't care at all
Sooner or later
Sooner or later
Sooner or later
I'll change my whole perspective

If this is what they want
I can tell you that the order's alphabetical
Don't you get it
Sooner or later
I'll be recruited by someone

Sooner or later
(i say)
sooner or later
sooner or sonner
& if it's for the better
i'll change my whole perspective
