Ambient 2 (hidden track)
. . .



All and all it's been a blast
But fame and fortune never lasts
So, we'll take refuge in the sound
They burned our churches to the ground

But they can't buy the sunshine
They can't buy the sunshine
They can't buy the sun
But they can't stop the sunshine on the sun, the sun, the sun

We may have sold our very souls
The ghosts inside the radio
They warned us once and they told us twice
This life's never very nice

They can't buy the sunshine
They can't buy the sunshine
They can't buy the sun
They can't stop the sunshine on the sun, the sun, the sun

The credit card skyline rises high
Crushing the sky and multiplies
They bind up souls to fill their holes
We know the one thing they don't know

But they can't buy the sunshine
They can't buy the sunshine
They can't buy the sun
But they can't stop the sunshine
They can't stop the sunshine
They can't stop the sunshine on the sun, the sun, the sun

. . .



oooh, oooh, oooh (x2)
Sometimes just letting go is easier
And dead friends cant come back
They're gone and life goes on

If you try, you'll be alright
If you try, you'll be alright

Been hanging around you
Been catching the starlight
Under this red moon
Leaving the city tonight
We're finding our freedom
Under this red moon
Oh no, no, no, nooo

Leave your woes behind
Start the car and drive
Deserts bring you home
The only roads you've known

If you try, you'll be alright
If you try, you'll be alright

Been hanging around you
Been catching the starlight
Under this red moon
Leaving the city tonight
We're finding our freedom
Under this red moon
Oh no, no, no, nooo

Here it comes, you might aswell
Here it comes, you might aswell
You might aswell

If you try, you'll be alright

Been hanging around you
Been catching the starlight
Under this red moon
Leaving the city tonight
We're finding our freedom
Under this red moon

. . .



Ooooh (x2)
Inch by inch
I'm infected by your love
Head to toe
I'm chemically changed
Forever

Oh take me back
To your house again, my love
I long to roam
Through your fields again, my love
Forever
Ooooh (x2)

I feel like, I'm falling
I'm falling, for you
Forever

From head to toe
I'm infected by your love
Inch by inch

. . .



My girl she's asleep now
Fleas leave her, jump to the ground
Through a train window
Flickering like a film frame
Twenty four times a second
Me and my girl gonna make it if we try

Cos I've been hanging around
My head in my hands
And my feet on the ground
It's been too long
Been chasing tears
I'm gonna leave the city
I'm gonna set sail (x3)

Wooooo, oh oh
I fell asleep with the fireflies
But let the moonlight pass me by
On this long and lifeless road we walk on
Me and my girl gonna make it if we try

Cos I've been hanging around
My head in my hands
And my feet on the ground
It's been too long
Been chasing tears
I'm gonna leave the city
I'm gonna set sail (x3)

Wooooo, oh oh
Turn out the lights
I see a sign and a sunset, yeah
Ah, look at my life
Could be a loser baby, could be a loser
But with you I forget, now there is
No use flapping around like a headless chicken
Me and my girl gonna make it if we try

Cos I've been hanging around
My head in my hands
And my feet on the ground
It's been too long
Been chasing tears
I'm gonna leave the city

. . .



Let's go fishing for a dream
Let's find some place new
Somewhere we can be ourselves
Some of the time

Lose your heart, I lose my mind
We'll make quite a pair, dazzling all the time
Celebrity parties, the red carpet mile
Nothing is too good there for my girl
All of this world, is gonna see you shine

Do-do-do-dodo-do-do-do
Dododo-dodo-do-do-do-do-do-do
Dododododo-do-doooo

Let's do loneliness in style
Let's put on moonlight mile
And feel those radio waves flow
And don't say you won't...

Lose your heart, I lose my mind
We'll make quite a pair, dazzling all the time
Celebrity parties, the red carpet mile
Nothing is too good there for my girl
All of this world, is gonna see you shine

Do-do-do-dodo-do-do-do
Dododo-dodo-do-do-do-do-do-do
Dododododo-do-doooo

Oh lose your heart, and I'll lose my mind
We'll make quite a pair, dazzling all the time
Celebrity parties, the red carpet mile
Nothing is too good there for my girl

The dad he was fifty, the kid was nine years old
He stood their like a miracle, with the kid's heart in his hold
I think I might be dying, atleast that's what I'm told
Inside kid is crying, for the dream has just been sold

I'm only nine, I'm already feeling the strain
It seems everyone's dying or curling up in pain
Well it's just a losers game, dad
It's just a loser's game

Come try and catch me, I'll catch me if you can
I'll be the first to miss the grip of your hairless boney hands
Well people run for shopping malls but you're waiting in the sky
Oh which consumer will you crush and which will you let burn

I'm only nine, I'm already feeling the strain
It seems everyone's dying or curling up in pain
Well it's just a losers game, dad
It's just a loser's game

Oh, put the sun in the back of this vehicle
Remember the sun, where the beach boys were playing
Run for the sun

Oh dad, ain't it sad
That we're on this road to nowhere (x3)
I know

I'm only nine, I'm already feeling the strain
It seems everyone's dying or curling up in pain
Well it's just a losers game, dad

. . .



Life isn't always easy
This we know my friends
I thought you knew where to go
But you were following me
So lets get lost in space
I feel this place
I'm stuck in the rat race
It's a lovely day to lose your way
And get stuck in the loop.....

Over and over again, you could never make it stop (x4)

My old bones stroll along
Railway track is oh so long
Stem the tide, the nine to five
Slowly eating me alive
But all night long, carry on
We're stumbling slowly to a lovely day to lose your way
And get stuck in the loop.....


. . .



Last clown,
Drinking in a bar that's about to be closed down
A hero,
I was in people's plans I was shaking their hands
I got lost in the world
Slow motion walking and diatribe talking
As bad as things be, I'm a natural survivor

Oooooh, I was a young man
With the keys to the plans held within my hands
I knew everything
Except the tick tick tock of the hour, glass hands
Slow motion walking and diatribe talking
As bad as things be, I'm a natural survivor

Oooooh, last clown
With your dreams so shallow
You will learn, you can never return
Though the grand scheme of things
May seem rearranged
People smile, but they never ever change

So if you see me
Walking around in the streets of your town
Don't feel for me
I've got more peace of mind than you ever shall find
I got lost in the world
Slow motion walking and diatribe talking
As bad as things be, I'm a natural survivor

My boy, with your dreams so shallow
You will learn, you can never return
Though the grand scheme of things
May seem rearranged
People smile, but they never ever change


. . .



One, two, three, four
Up above the clouds, it is always a blue sky
Some will try a trick, but you just look them in the eyes
What will they do, when the money runs dry?
Where will they go, when the jet planes can't fly?

When all is said and done I will love you
When all is said and done I'll still love you

Starring out at the stars, you feel helpless and so small
Nothing but closed down bars, no one helps you when you fall
One day this world will be returning to this prime
We'll all be gone, there'll be no more roads to find

When all is said and done I will love you
When all is said and done I'll still love you

The rain came again,
Cleaning the dream and it always makes me cry, oh my
Something about the rain, it sends memories through my veins
Memories always stain, you can't wash them down the drain
Where will I go when my broken body dies?
And what will I know when I look up to the skies?

When all is said and done will you love me? (x2)

The rain came again, cleaning the dream
And it always makes me cry, oh my

. . .



I may be bleeding, but I don't care
See where I'm leading, see I'm almost there
These days lost their meaning, but I don't care
But still we're all breathing, so cry if you dare

With the world before me to break my fall
And this wind behind me warm
The street lights embrace me, see I close my eyes
They're building wraps around me

Everyone's sleeping, but I don't care
Cos I can see reason, flowing through the air
Here comes some feeling, that no walls can hold
And clear and relieving us from the cold

With the world before me to break my fall
And this wind behind me warm
The street lights embrace me, see I close my eyes
They're building wraps around me

With the world before me to break my fall
And this wind behind me warm
The street lights embrace me, see I close my eyes

. . .



If I stuck my ears to the ground
Down to the worlds that are crawling around
Shoot me up to the aeroplanes
Like a jackinabox which springs in my way
This is a nice mess, I don't feel so lonely

Deep inside the ether's air
I'm taking a lift and you're taking the stairs
Shoot me up to the aeroplanes
Like a jackinabox which springs in my way
This is a nice mess, I don't feel so lonely

Oh no, my world is on fire
Someone get some water cos I think I'm gonna burn (x2)
Hey Joe I'm tasting all your flavours
Ain't no piece of cake
But life ain't dishing nothing I can't take

If I stuck my ears to the ground
Down to the worlds that are crawling around
Shoot me up to the aeroplanes
Like a jackinabox which springs in my way
This is a nice mess, I don't feel so lonely

Deep inside the ether's air
I'm taking a lift and you're taking the stairs
Shoot me up to the aeroplanes
Like a jackinabox which springs in my way
This is a nice mess, I don't feel so lonely

Oh no, my world is on fire
Someone get some water cos I think I'm gonna burn (x2)
Hey Joe I'm tasting all your flavours
Ain't no piece of cake
But life ain't dishing nothing I can't take

Oh no, my world is on fire
Someone get some water cos I think I'm gonna burn (x2)
Hey Joe I'm tasting all your flavours
Ain't no piece of cake
But life ain't dishing nothing I can't take


. . .



My open heart is all a flutter
Memories as sweet as butter
Running down the blade of a double edged sword

I recall a kiss, a photograph
And in this I can't recall the faces of you all

Cos you come and you go (x3)
Oooooh

Open up my heart, you open up my heart
And let some sunlight down the avenue
I'm going to take my time today
I'm going to take what's mine today

Cos you come and you go (x3)
Oooooh

I'm going to take my time today
I'm going to take what's mine today

Cos you come and you go (3)
