Sometimes she's rude, sometimes she's too crude
Sometimes she understands, sometimes her hands are dirty
So she stays there at home in her box
There's a part of her that shouts
And there's a part of her that only whispers
There's another part that's lost in space
There's a part that would spit if you kissed her
So she's safer when she's hiding in her box
Most times I have to keep her in her box
It's not a sad thing
She gets to exercise her wings
It scares the shit out of me
So many different ways to be
So she stays there at home in her box
Most times I have to keep her in her box
She's safer when she's hiding in her box

Air… Water… Energy
There is ebb and flow
There is give and take
But there is only one world
So there is only one way
Food… Warmth… Shelter
There is ebb and flow
There is give and take
But there is only one world
So there is only one way

You woke me up in the middle of my life
And you shook me gently to make sure I was alive
You'd been watching and waiting, so patiently wise
Knowing that I knew I was living a lie
Whisper in my ear
Oh my darling
You're so dear to me
Reach out, I'll be here
Oh my darling
I will never leave
For as long as there's breath in my body
I will never leave
We've travelled these times down a rough beaten track
In our rusty old banger and I've never looked back
Our heads have been battered and our spirits have been worn
But I've never been happier and to be your wife I've sworn
Whisper in my ear
Oh my darling
You're so dear to me
Reach out, I'll be here
Oh my darling
I will never leave
For as long as there's breath in my body
I will never leave
I will never leave
I will always be here
. . .

Oh my love, I have tried many times to convince myself
But you'll never change, maybe I could be happy with someone else
But here you are at my door
Baby let's end this crazy war
I forgive you… I forgive you… I forgive you, baby
Oh it's alright
I'll take you back again
I'll take the pain
You mean that much to me
I forgive you
Who would believe I would stand in the gap for this love affair
Oh I've got my pride, but something broke inside when I saw you standing there
You are the blood in my veins
Why do we cause each other this pain?
I forgive you… I forgive you… I forgive you, baby
Oh it's alright
I'll take you back again
Oh, I'll take the blame
I wouldn't let you
I forgive you
You say don't stand for abuse
But I gave him everything
What do I have to lose
I know he hurt me, I hurt him
Sometimes I don't deserve him
But he loves me, and I love him
That's the way we are baby
It's alright
I'll take you back again
Oh, I'll take the blame
I wouldn't let you
I forgive you… I forgive you… I forgive you
Oh, it's alright
I'll take you back again
I'll take the blame
I wouldn't let you
I forgive you

Take a look as they go, with the luck of the devil
No ordinary cares like you and I
You and I wonder why they sail through life so easily
Unaware and dangerously blind
They're the ones you ought to steer clear of
Instigating nightmares, they always catch you unawares
They're the ones, totally oblivious
Catalysts for calamity
Head honchos of hilarity
They're the ones
Here they come, having fun, lounging in immunity
Even though they've burned your whole house down
In a word it's absurd, how they get away with it
Though we love you dearly, don't come round… please!
They're the ones you ought to steer clear of
Instigating nightmares
They give you a light and singe your hair
They're the ones, totally oblivious
Catalysts for calamity
Head honchos of hilarity… they're the ones

Liberty in reality… isn't all it's made out to be
Liberty… is a wonderful thing but it doesn't mean you're free
Liberty in reality… can't take the moon out of the sky
Liberty… can't take the stars out of your eyes
You should never have to let go
Of what's inside and what you know
Let your heart swing next to your soul
Keep what's inside and hold it close
Liberty in reality… they'll hound you hard all through your life
Liberty… but no-one can stop you asking why
You should never have to let go
Of what's inside and what you know
Let your heart swing next to your soul
Keep what's inside and hold it close

I know you're in there somewhere, just searching for yourself
And I also know you feel despair, you don't need to cry for help
I've realised that feeling like a heart of ice that melts
And trickles down into your gut, and chills your every cell
I can't tell you to ignore it
I can't make it go away
Accept this as a part of you is all that I would say
Embrace the darkness
Don't be afraid
Embrace the darkness
Let your soul be laid bare
Embrace the darkness
And reach within yourself
Embrace the darkness, embrace the dark
A broader sense of paradox might be our key to life
The something that we all look for could be there before our eyes
But does anybody give a care who's wrong or what is right
Sometimes there may be more to gain if we would yield instead of fight
I can't tell you to ignore it
I can't make it go away
Accept this as a part of you is all that I would say
Embrace the darkness
Don't be afraid
Embrace the darkness
Let your soul be laid bare
Embrace the darkness
And reach within yourself
Embrace the darkness, embrace the dark
Reach out reach in… have faith believe in yourself
Reach out reach in… take heart pay heed to yourself

When Mother Nature puts her foot down
You can be sure we'll all know about it
For the true power of the elements will be more
Than anyone bargained for
Think of… the biggest thunderstorm you have ever known
Think of… the darkest depths of the sea alone
Think of… ten foot snow drifts and the havoc they cause
Think of… Planet Earth and dare to call it yours
Nature can be such a comfort,
But we have all seen the other side
The cruelty of the cold, the desolation of the too hot sun
Diseases are there for all mankind, just waiting
Biding time, they'll come and get us in the night
Like a monster to a frightened child
Think of… the biggest thunderstorm you have ever known
Think of… the darkest depths of the sea alone
Think of… ten foot snow drifts and the havoc they cause
Think of… Planet Earth and dare to call it yours

You know it
I know it
Our spider sense will prove
Yellow and blue make green
But harmony is not what it seems
Trust second sight to tell the truth
To talk with words unspoken
See with it… feel with it
Why leave this sense unopened
Read with it… breathe with it
Eyes half closed
Mind's eye open
One ear to the ground
First impression
Second sight
Third eye
Forthright
Can you hear without a sound
To talk with words unspoken
See with it – feel with it
Why leave this sense unopened
Read with it – breathe with it

Don't mess with life
Don't beat around the bush
Wear your heart on your sleeve
Don't let anybody push you around
Hold a tight rein
And take up the slack
Learn to focus your brain
And you'll never look back
Take it all in your stride
Walk the road of life
As the crow flies
Pick up your feet
And hold your head up high
You can meet people halfway
But never say die
Learn to play the game
But don't live the lie
You can't stop the rain
But you can still see the sky
Take it all in your stride
Walk the road of life
As the crow flies
. . .

I'll blow you from this planet like a rocket
With a few wicked lashes of my tongue
I won't stop 'til you're long dead and forgotten
I'll squash you 'twixt my finger and my thumb
I could try to help or I could try to understand
If I extend myself I know that you'll do something underhand
What's the use… you're way beyond redemption
What's the use… forget divine intervention
What's the use in saving you… what's the use
One day you will just wither and droop over
You'll shrivel up and crumble like a leaf
You'll be left alone like Scrooge with all your money
To expire with your hollow weak beliefs
I could try to help or I could try to understand
If I extend myself I know that you'll do something underhand
What's the use… you're way beyond redemption
What's the use… forget divine intervention
What's the use in saving you… what's the use
