Biting it off again
Stabbing my feeding hand
Stepping off every train
To meet the same thing
Hosing the fire grate
Drinking the water baby
I've been a fool it seems
All these years
Making the old mistakes
Praying my day won't break
Everyone lies
Everyo

He wants her
She leads him on and on
He just can't escape
A thousand years of evolution
Build at once into confusion
He watches
Her walking home again
He just can't pretend
Tries to look in other places
As she bends to tie her laces

(chorus)
They see

There was a time we saw life
Like it had no end
And no darkness in our days
For our sins you walk in
And everything changed
Now we stare darkness in the face

Just like the papers say
When they always say goodbye
And just like we're here today
We will always

Like a crowd when the pin drops
Like a ride that you can't get off
High wire on a high hope
Tight walk on a tight rope
Cold night make you breathe in
Hot lights make the show begin

Catch your breath as your heart stops
It's what you want but it's never enough
Gr

Looking back
You can lie if you like
But it's just sad to see you
Wasting so much time
It's a hole
Whether you are half or whole
It's a hole no matter which side out you fly

Chorus
Cup of life
Drink it dry
Getting old before your time
There's nothing

If I keep you safe
And I keep you warm
If I keep you closer than I need
To turn you on
But I want you to notice
Every time my eyes caress you
I want to see your eyes
Flashing out anger
Anytime that I wonder

Chorus
Do I believe you
Could you believe i

Corners round off the edges
Of my broken heart
Borders, close off the edges
Of my mind
Won't you be my love
Every time i see that
Look in your eyes
Be my life
It's only then that i realise
Be my home
Don't believe me
When i tell you goodbye
Whateve

Slap on the back
For the man with the sand in his hair
Spinning with sound
As you're feeling around for the change
Twist off the top
Even though you know he's never there
Polish the thoughts
For a moment you notice it's strange
How emptiness remains
Oh !, empt

Hey hey, happy man, smiling as he leaves the book store
Carrying his carrier bags all bulging wide
Such a lucky man, such a lot to line your shelves with
Starts to hurry so that he can get
Inside
Each book it overflows with violent murder
That he can read about in bed whe

Heart says I have to try
For all the wherefores
All the whys
Head says I'll be lying
Like a building fell to the ground
The glass foundations crashing down
Love, there's no denying

So I'll wait
Till the fire stops
Wait till the pressure drops
Over your f

Help me I'm shameless
I thought I'd forget her but I'd never bettered myself
Headstrong & blameless
I thought I'd be stronger the longer I stayed on the shelf
Because I believed that life
Though I can't say why
But can't you see that
I'm no longer free to love you

Here's a tale of warning
For you children being born
About a sweet young christian girl
Who donned a crown of thorns

Seems her christian parents
Never wanted her around
Sent her to a convent school
And a guilt trip hand-me-dwn

There was never need for this

I've got to let you go
'cause I feel that I'm changing
I've got to let you go
'cause I fear that we might fade

How many ribbons could we untie?
How many pleasures do we deny?
I guess the river's finally run dry

Oh I've got to let you go
All those pictures yo

Good morning - it's raining
Everything you ever said - yeah
But, this morning, the way it's falling
Nothing's landing on my head
There's a cloud - grey - the lining it's shedding
Can't touch my day - it's rice at a wedding
And you, me and everybody I know
Is waving us

Come over here, turn on the lights
'cos I almost saw your face
And from over here you look pretty nice
And I wondered if I could be leaving on a ship
That won't be coming back this trip
But then I realised I almost saw the lights

Don't you see that I know better now

So this is where I come in
A wheel that you caught me mid spin
From all around me begins
The rhyme of a thousand violins
I see that you've heard this before
The room has been cleared behind that door
The song of a force like the weight of a ball
I don't think I can ke

Picking up all the pieces
Because you never thought that this life
Could treat you this rough
You say that there's no point in going out again
You say this life may have done you wrong
But then wear it as your winter coat to keep you warm
You know that there's no point in

Jade you're a stone
And you woke up so frightened to find that you're sinking alone
But you're only afraid of yourself

Jade you're a star
But you're thrashing the house now you've found out your daddy's not home today
Jade you're a star
Counting out the money you made l

Like a holy floor
That you walk over
Like an open sore
Needs to be bandaged
I need you here
Like a little child
Has an open mind
Too near the time
To see the darkness
I need you here

I hoped I'd find
I know it only matters 'till it's gone
Once it

Opens the show, the devil you know
You're better off staying at home
High on the grass and the lebanese
Lying at home, what do you know
You're better off hanging up the phone
There's nobody there but the sound of the breeze

And you can't deny there's a world outside
