Shut your eyes my darling there's nothing you can say
the man in the moon won't fall on you
he doesn't live there anyway
you don't have to be a soldier to fight in your private war
let the blood you might see rain down on me
you don't have to fight no more

there's nothi

I'll be here
When the lights go down
And there's nothing left to see
I'll be here
When the shadows die
And there's nothing left to fear

When the lights go down
And the shadows die
You know I'll be around
I'll wait for you
Will you watch for me
In the

I sit by my castles
In the back of my chair
Gazing into the dawn

I blackmailed my teachers
For not living dispair
When there was really
Not much going on

I learnt how to cry at a very young age
But still I will write another page

Good bye my friends hope

I'm courageous but I'm weak sometimes
Outrageous but I don't often show that side
I can be selfish but I can be a saint sometimes
You make me feel like I'm bigger than who I am
I can see everything but mostly I'm blind
I'm a sinner but sometimes I shine
I'm just a man but

I've seen enough
The next time you better stay loose
There's plenty of government action in the neighborhood
It's a general uprisin'
See the men in gold
The P.M.'s bad man says give me one at a time
CHORUS
Ashes to diamonds
Taken all they find
Turning blood to

You want to be an actress
And step down on the stage
You are going to the school juliard
To learn how to strut so high and proud
Make me stand up and notice
That you are not afraid
I believe in you
And I believe you'll have it made
I cut out my heart
And nail

Look back,
(shout out, shout it)
There's someone close behind
It's a face that I remember
(Come out, come out)
In the air, there's a feeling that I know
Speaks to me of better times

Come out, come out
Never say bust
If you don't start to move
You'll star

Could it be the joke's on us
75 degrees and it's just the end of winter
She says we've got all we need
To go outside and sit right down and paint a picture

One more day to be alive
One more good day to survive
One good day put your glasses on
Protect yourself from t

Sit around and curse Apocalypse in verse
Gets so you can't recognize the gentlemen from the jerks
Verbal masturbation prime time on the air
Outside there's another rights parade
Somebody hands you isms of despair

(CHORUS)
And we were sitting in this room
You and me

When he was a kid, he'd be up at five
Take shots till eight, make the thing drive
Out after school, back on ice
That was his life, he was gonna play in the Big League
The Big League

Not many ways out of this cold northern town
You work in the mill and get laid in the gr

I watched while you might say
So long happy trails
You can only wait so long
Till the wind shakes your sails
And you see the she says "bye bye"
Then she turns and digs her heels back in
I'm gonna let you be the bigger man tonight
I'm gonna let you be the bigger man to

Like a bird, like a bird on a wire
Like a drunk, in a midnight choir
I have tried, in my way to be free
Like a worm, like a worm on a hook
Like a man, in an old fashioned book
I have saved, all my ribbons for you

If I've...If I've been unkind
Then I hope, you'll jus

So long so long so long he's been away
So long so long so long he's back again

When I turned seventeen
We had passion, we had dreams
Thought the love we were fighting for
Was something holy, something more

When I turned twenty-one
we were outside on the run

He sat down with his guitar in a distant place
When a man walks up and tells him
"Buddy there are some things you cannot say"
I'll be damned if you'll tell me
What I can and cannot feel
I won't be no puppet here none of your back room deals
Modern love was invented by the

Walk out
Through the rain
Where the sound of your own footsteps
Speak of Change
When we take our refuge
In a higher place
Somewhere no one knows
We'll meet it face to face

CHORUS:
Breaking the curfew
Walking where we want to
Dodging the big lights up

I dreamt I was a refugee
Who lived outside of town
My family in a barria shack
Battered and run down

We had a friend from America
Helped out, we took him in
Like my brother he disappeared
They said he was with him

There we were far out at sea
Somehow we go

Knew he was a misfit, Since the age of seventeen
He had to do it his way they said, He should be quarantined
He went looking to the East, he went looking to the West
He was looking for the courage, To see which way was the best.

Can't turn back, Oh no

Look out on his righ

Charlie was a dancer
At ten years old,
Charlie was a dancer
In his dreams

He loved to watch old movies
With his mother there,
He loved to watch old movies
With Fred Astaire

Dance, Charlie, Dance,
You might never get the chance,
Dance, Charlie, Dance,

You can lead a horse to water
But you cannot make him drink
You can own a man's whole work for life
But you cannot make him think what you want
You can tell them all a thousand lies
But you don't own the world
You can give her everything you want
But you won't have my

There's a light by the window
There's a shadow by the sea
Where there's an angel or assassin
I know she waits for me
There's a time and place she say
Where we can always meet
Well that's alright by me
Breakaway
I can always hear her say
There's a time and ther
