Who's waiting for her like she's waiting for him
Who's tracking the storm she's lost in
The stars are bright
The night is black and clear
The clowns are all asleep, the strongman is in tears
Who has a heart of glass and steel
Who else has this secret all too ready to reve

When you left the room there were whispers
You're an object of lust, a subject of mystery
Tonight the pilot lights wink like eyes
The tubes glow blue
The fuses spark
The wires burn bright
Because of you
You are on everyone's special list
You've placed yourself in

The blind lead the blind
Searching for clear signs
The angle of desire
The internal choir
The sweetest lie
The turning sky

We count the rings around the moon
The sun sets in the east
For forty days and forty nights
Your secrets are safe

The blind touch

Arm in arm gazing into diamond light
The pitch-black night is crowded with stars
Hand in hand climbing up the highest hill
To get the bird's-eye view of where we've been

Like phases of the moon gone and back again
Spreading out the maps and tracing every turn
We took si

Elizabeth stride, born with clear blue eyes open wide
Plays in fields of flowers red and white
Games of seek and hide
Papa never lets her from his sight
The cows and horses breed
Father plants the seed and visits late at night
She dreams of living in a world apart
Old

A safe-house room that reeks of lies
A window-framed indifferent sky
Dead letter box is stuffed with dreams
See the dust they left behind
Watch until the light is gone
A candle left to burn too long
While behind the broken door they sound the battle call

Dripping bl

Staring into the sun
Pressed against the glass
Remembering the ones who lured me off the path
Following my heart

Swept away with the tide
Dreams like water under the bridge
The pins of light
The needle of the day pricks me back to life
Following my heart

What can I do
I look for you
I lose my way again
The sheets are damp
The darkness spreads like a stain on the bed
I walk the floor
I close the door
I lock myself up again
I find a way to get along for one more day

I'll forgive you and I'll forget you

O

Brain fever, there's fire inside your head
Bring on the ether, you might as well be dead
Defend your faith and make your escape
Time to lower the flags and pack your bags

Caught in the act, just don't look back
Forget all your plans, there'll be no second chance
There's

Still life
A monument of colored stone
A nest of polished bone
In glittering heat
In droning sun

Fallout showers
Riot of shooting stars in dislocated skies
In flickering heat
In burning sun
A race for last place

The sky opens twice
White ships cove

The part no longer
Has the ring of truth
You cast the spells
But leave the books on the shelves
Stepping out of the frame
But no one detects
Backing down the stairs
Looking just long enough to know
It's locked away

All blurry eyed
They're getting frayed

He said the joke's on you
You think you're one of a kind
But you're all the same to me
You're so easy to find
He said open your eyes watch what I do
Why don't you just relax
I bet you'll like it too
You'll like it too

What is this pain
I can't explain
I

Radio waves from outer space
Past the rings of Saturn
Sending out strange sounds and voices
I hear them in my dreams

Looking through the prison bar
The factory smoke is rising
At night he snow it looks so blue
There's a certain kind of deadly quiet

The message

Walking the line
You feel your way
Lost and found and lost again
Chasing shadows moonlight miles away
Heart aches like a phantom limb
Every corner hides a ghost
A last good kiss
A freeze-frame memory
An open door inviting one more getaway

He wants to see you

The hollow point bullet that bares my name was sold up in the Bronx just yesterday
The poison-tipped arrow that will pierce my heart was sold under the counter at a liquor store
The voice of God is Charlton Heston, he's told the FBI they should have me arrested
The bullets will fly b

The script is written word for word line by line
The vows are spoken time and time again
As the future's chosen you're always waiting
Standing in line
You keep me hoping while you break my heart with all those plans

All the different endings
Side by side by side
But

The weeks pass by hand in hand
With the melting ice in your glass
The soldiers have returned from their crusades
And landed on the coast
Drawn by a spotlight like moths to a flame

Betrayed by the kiss of fame falling to the stage
We never fell for fakes or television ra

The trees are on fire
The sky is stained black and brown
The ships in the bay have crashed on the rocks
Their hulls bleed black and foul
We track this satellite as it crashes to the ground

Crawling through the landfills
Counting the gun racks
Riding past the windmil

Don't push your luck
Stay in the dark
Don't call their bluff
They know who you are

Time after time
Nothing to say
Turn your head and look away
Don't push your luck
Stay in the dark
Close your eyes and play the part
Drums in the night clear as a bell

In at the deep end I guarantee
Over the rainbow you'll be seeing me
Now is now and then was then
Now your ship is coming in
Mountains roll down to the sea
You'll look up and there I'll be

Over the rainbow our dreams come true
In at the deep end I'll be seeing you
