Wish I was taking you with me

No more goodbyes,
No more goodbyes,
Tell me to stay home

There’s no place
No more goodbyes,
No more goodbyes,
Tell me to stay home

I’m leaving…I’m leaving

No more goodbyes,
No more goodbyes,
Tell me to stay home

I’m leaving…I’m leaving

There’s no place
I’m leaving…I’m leaving
There’s no place
No more goodbyes

No exotic country
I found my journey’s end
When I found you
Don’t let me go
Won’t leave town
Or go around
If you say so
Won’t leave you no if you say so

Can’t stay always going away
Never knowing the way home
Another hour
Another day
Surely we
Will find a way somehow

We’re leaving the city today
Leaving the city
Soon I will be gone
Leaving the city today
Soon I will be gone

Leaving, leaving, leaving, leaving
No more goodbyes
No more goodbyes
Tell me to stay home
I’m leaving
I’m leaving

No more goodbyes
No more goodbyes
Tell me to stay home
I’m leaving
I’m leaving

There’s no place
There’s no place
There’s no place
There’s no place
There’s no place

There’s no place I’d rather be
Than here dear
If I call you dear, it’s because you are

There’s no face
I’d rather see
There’s no fear
Don’t be afraid to say
Stay another day
Then another day

Don’t be afraid to say it
Or hold on
Don’t be gone too long baby
Another kiss
One more caress
An ego, no
Another yes

We’re leaving the city today
There’s something still left here to say
A D F C A F
D F C E D C D

We’re leaving the city today
Why can’t I get you to ask me stay?
Don’t you want to let the music play
D F C E D C D

We’re leaving the city today
Is there something i’ve left here to say?
Don’t you want to let the music play
A D F C A F D F C E D C D

Soon I will be gone
I’m leaving
I’m leaving
Don’t you want to let the music play?

Soon I will be gone

Deep in
Quick sand
You dive in
At the shallow end
You break your
Neck and
You’re never ever gonna get up again

The glass house that you lived in
Is deep in the quickening
Angels might call by
But fools they rush in

Bring some peace to your mind
For today is a new day

Here in my hand
Time is just sand
Fine lines of love and hate
There on your face
But I look at this way
In the next seven days
In the next
It might just change

How can I write
The story that
Went and wrote itself
Down on paperback
Called “the foutain of know thyself”
It’s a lonely book
Still upon the shelf

It’ll be all smiles
And we’ll rise and ride
On the waves of a sinking feeling

Bring some peace to your mind
For today is a new day

Happy people don’t give into
Happy people don’t give into
That sinking feeling

It’ll be all smiles
And we’ll rise and we’ll sail

It’ll be all smiles
And we’ll rise and we’ll sail
On the waves

It’ll be all smiles
And we’ll rise and we’ll sail
On the waves
Of a sinking feeling

Curiosity
The young and the free
There for all to see
Entranced
Burned by the flame
Have your senses taken leave
Into the fire of true belief
It’s the orgy of the free

It was at first as
If they were shadows
Shimmering visions
By the light of the dancing flame
Bodies in motion
The sound of the ocean
Came into vision
On the night of the dancing flame

What of your own free will
Bodies are writhing still
There in the moonlight
With my head up help high
Wish I could keep on walking by
But I
Find myself drawn to you
I let you do what you want to do
You had your wicked way
There on the site of the dancing flame

It was at first as
If they were shadows
Shimmering visions
By the light of the dancing flame
Bodies in motion
The sound of the ocean
Came into vision
On the night of the dancing flame

To dance around the fire
On the night of the dancing flame
To make the flame grow higher
In the light of the dancing flame

To dance around the fire
On the night of the dancing flame
To make the flame grow higher
In the light of the dancing flame

Oh that starry night
Lost my sense of time
I don’t know how I
Got my fingers burned

Maybe I got too close
To the light of the
To the light of the
To the light of the dancing flame

The light of the
The light of the
The light of the dancing flame

Now the time has elapsed
It inevitably has come to pass
That I write for you at last
A song, a rhyme
Oh, to tell you the truth of it
I’m a little confused myself
Is it through memory’s rose-tinted glass
I have come to ask
Or is it a love that was meant to last
Through time itself

Proving us wrong all along
Shouldn’t we be holding on
It’s a silly thing really
That you shouldn’t believe in
Nothing too complicated
Endlessly formulated
Foolish romantic ideals of love

Could there be such a thing
How could there be such a thing
As beautifully flawed
We’ll make mistakes and then
Life is the art of learning to live with it
Through time

But you knew it
All along
You who are wiser than I
See it coming
See it coming
See it coming
Every time

How did you predict
The end of the world
When you can’t see beyond
The end of your nose
Would you look at the life I chose
Baby it’s you I need to tell it to
Maybe no other will ever do
Through time

Shouldn’t we be holding on
Maybe no other will ever do
Maybe no other will ever do

Shouldn’t we be holding on
Maybe no other will ever do
Maybe no other will ever do

Shouldn’t we be holding on
Maybe no other will ever do
Maybe no other will ever do

Shouldn’t we be holding on
Maybe no other will ever do
Maybe no other will ever do

Proving us wrong all along

Ideals of love
Foolish romantic
Ideals of love

Could there be such a thing
How could there be such a thing
As beautifully flawed
Ideals of love

Sow into you
Into you
Into you

What the...
What the...
Did you do to me
Heavy cloud come down on
When all of heaven’s bliss
Is in this perfect kiss
Rain down on me

Bring me a change in the weather
Break open the sky
Heat keeps building
It’s hot in the city
And I’m not sleeping at night
Can I get relief

I am a lyrical soul
Bound to get carried away
But there’s nothing left to say
‘cept I I I I I
I am a lyrical soul
I I I I I love you

Sow into
Into you
I’ll bring you
Into this earth
Has sorely missed the kiss of rain

Sow into
Into you
I’ll bring you up into it
Is this how it feels to kiss the same

I chose you for your wave
Frequency
You take me up against
The freak in me
Just tell me what you
X X X expect of me
Expect of me

I am a lyrical soul
Bound to get carried away
But I think it’s fair to say
You Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Love me

Sow into
Into you
I’ll bring you
Into this earth
Has sorely missed the kiss of rain

Sow into
Into you
I’ll bring you up into it
Is this how it feels to kiss the same

Sow into
Into you
I’ll bring you
Into this earth
Has sorely missed the kiss of rain

Sow into
Into you
I’ll bring you up into it
Is this how it feels to kiss the same

Sow into
Into you
I’ll bring you
Into this earth
Has sorely missed the kiss of rain

And I think it’s here to stay
Sow into
Though I’m bound to get carried away
I’ll bring you
But I think it’s here to stay
Though I’m bound to get carried away

Dear diary
My dear
Got to keep it all inside
Got to keep it locked behind a
Golden wall of silence
You see I have my pride
And I won’t be telling him
Anytime soon
Too afraid to say it
I wouldn’t want to embarrass myself
Telling everybody the truth

No I
I won’t send this valentine
Violets are blue
And if you don’t receive this valentine
It doesn’t mean that is ain’t true
And I’m not thinking of you

Won’t kiss
I won’t tell
Never cross these lips
Never break the spell
I decided to go on denying myself
Living alone
Living a lie

No I
I won’t send this valentine
Violets are blue
And if you don’t receive this valentine
It doesn’t mean that is ain’t true
And I’m not thinking of you
No I

I keep living a lie
I keep living a lie
I keep living a lie

To never speak of it
Or hear the music of it
We’ll play a symphony
In my wildest dreams

No I
I won’t send this valentine
Violets are blue
And if you don’t receive this valentine
It doesn’t mean that is ain’t true
And I’m not thinking of you

No I
I won’t send this valentine
Violets are blue
And if you don’t receive this valentine
It doesn’t mean that is ain’t true
And I’m not thinking of you

I keep living a lie
I keep living a lie

I keep living a lie
I keep living a lie

I keep living a lie
I keep living a lie

I keep living a lie
I keep living a lie

If we’re in love
If we’re in love
If we’re in love

If we’re in love
If we’re in love
If we’re in love
We should make love

Where the sun it never sets
And where the wind forgets
I will forget you
Where the sky goes on for miles
And never ties
Of an improbable blue
When the supreme mysteries
Decide to reveal all to us
And make an endless night
Still I will come to remember

If we’re in love we should make love
If we’re in love we should make love
If we’re in love we should make love
When will we be lovers?

If we’re in love we should make love
If we’re in love we should make love
If we’re in love we could make love
When will that be?

I’m gonna forget you
When the rivers stop and turn to run
To where they’ve begun
Back up the mountainside
When the sun it comes to the night to play
And like I do just sleep all day
When the moon and the stars turn to the light
Not in the dark of night
But in the morning sky
When the roses turn to bloom
Not in June
But in the bitter cold of December
There’s not a
There’s not a joy in this whole world to give
There’s not a joy
As lovely as the bird that flew away

Last night I
Last night I
I think I dreamt a
Beautiful song
But when I woke
The birds had flown
And it was gone

If we’re in love we should make love
If we’re in love we should make love
If we’re in love we should make love
When will we be lovers?

If we’re in love we should make love
If we’re in love we should make love
If we’re in love we could make love
When will that be?

If we’re in love we should make love
If we’re in love we should make love
If we’re in love we should make love
When will we be lovers?

If we’re in love we should make love
If we’re in love we should make love
If we’re in love we should make love
When will that be?

If we’re in love
If we’re in love

If we’re in love we should make love
If we’re in love we should make love
If we’re in love we should make love
When will we be lovers?

If we’re in love we should make love
If we’re in love we should make love
If we’re in love we could make love
When will that be?

If we’re in love we should make love
If we
If we’re in love we should make love
If we
If we’re in love we should make love
When will we be lovers?

If we’re in love we should make love
If we’re in love we should make love
If we’re in love we should make love
When will that be?

Bang, bang !

Could a body close the mind out
Stitch a seam across the eye
If you can be good, you’ll live forever
If you’re bad, you’ll die when you die

Hearing only one true note
On the one and only sound
Unzip my body
Take my heart out
'Cause I need a beat to give this tune

Taking a picture of
Taking a picture of
Taking a picture of

Oh the body swayed to music
Oh the lightning glance
If I would give it all and all
Maybe you would hear me
Ask for half a chance

Hearing only one root note
Planted firmly in the ground
Undo my heart, unzip my body and
Lend to my ear a clear and a deafening sound

Unzip my heart

And if I need a rhythm
It’ll be to my heart I listen
If it don’t get me too far wrong

And if I
And if I
And if I need a rhythm
It’s gonna be to my heart I listen
If it don’t take me too far gone

Everybody smile please
Nobody pay no mind to me
Finger in position on the switch
A little flash photography

Taking a picture of you
Taking a picture of
Taking a picture of me
Taking a picture

You’d better stop
And try to think
Look what you’re doing
Oh, Ruby

You never get to give it all you got
Cause you forgot to take it to the top
Oh Ruby Blue

Why do you make a start
With no means to go on
It’s on the tip of your
Ruby, we used to love you truly
You used to make us laugh
It really was a gas
But now you’re a bore

One
Two
Three
But now you’re a bore

It was you
And them
And me
Look what you do
Oh, Ruby Blue

Check yourself
Do you get me
Do you get me
Do you get me
Do you get me
Do you get me

You’d better stop
And try to think
Look what you’re doing
Oh, Ruby

You never get to give it all you’ve got
Cause you forgot to take it to the top
Oh, Ruby Blue

Nobody cares anyway
If you play the painted lady
Four and more
Five and six
Who would have believed
It would come to this
Look what you do
Oh, Ruby Blue

Check yourself

You’d better stop
And try to think
Look what you’re doing
Oh, Ruby

You never get to
Give it all you’ve got cause you forgot
To take it to the top
Oh Ruby Blue

One
Two
Three
Look what you’re doing
Oh Ruby
Nobody's there anyway
It was you
And them
And me

Look what you do
Oh, Ruby Blue

You know that you like it
You know that you love it, really, ha ha
It’s just a game that we play
It’s a world away from your everyday pain
And your suffering
It’s just a game, my darling please

Please don’t go to the trouble
No no not on account of me
For I’m sure to bring double
Sure to bring double
I’ll bring you to your knees

Might you be getting off on it

You, you were asking for this
And now you’re gonna get it
You were begging me, please
Don’t be surprised if you

One big joke
Don’t be surprised if you get it
I’ll just all one big joke
It’s all mirrors and smoke
A not so elaborate hoax
You know how
One thing tends to
Lead to another
Before you know where you are
You’re there, tied to the chair
You’re going nowhere
Might you be getting off on it

It’s just a game
Not your everyday pain
It’s just a game

It’s just a game
It’s a world away from your everyday pain
And your suffering
It’s just a game

Don’t you get off on it
Don’t you get off on it
Don’t you get off on it...

Off on it
Off on it
Off on it...

It’s just a game
It’s a world away from your everyday pain
And your suffering
It’s just a game

It’s just a game
Everyday pain

It’s just a game
It’s a world away from your everyday pain
And your suffering
It’s just a game

(Instrumental)

We’re too busy
We’re just too busy
Always making predictions
Never make an exception
To the rules

Why do we fight
All through the night
Why do we fight at all
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Let’s just turn the whole damn thing upside down
Do you recognize
The one you knew before
The closing of the doors

Don’t you remind me of someone
Don’t you remind me
I knew you better
Don’t you remind me
Much better than that
I never loved you blindly
I knew a man who was better
Much better than that
Much better than that
Much better than that

Once you’ve said it
Oh, oh, oh, oh
You can’t take it back
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I knew you’d find that note someday
So I wrote down
All the things that I couldn’t say

You and I
Up all night
Why do we fight at all

The closing of the doors
The calling of time
Don’t you remind me of someone
Don’t you remind me
