Ты хотел летать, только мною жить, Ты одной лишь мною дорожил. Я устала ждать и ушла навек — Самый дорогой твой человек, Самый дорогой твой человек…
Припев: А ты с ума сходил, ты думал обо мне, Ты так хотел со мной подняться до небес. А ты сходил с ума, но понял лишь теперь, Что больше смысла нет стучаться в запертую дверь.
Времена пройдут, станет чуть теплей Замороженной душе моей. Может ты поймешь, Боже, позвони! Может я жестока, извини… Может я жестока, извини.
Я каждый новый вечер раскрываю крылья, плечи. Без тени сомненья, тебя сегодня встречу, И ты меня заметишь, но под силою волненья превращаюсь в тень И ты проходишь рядом, тебя я обнимаю взглядом. Я бы докоснулась, но ты меня не знаешь, О другой мечтаешь. Бесконечным будет завтра снова новый день
Мне многого не надо коснуться только взглядом до кончиков ресниц твоих на несколько секунд. Тебя я заколдую, тебя ко всем ревную, но, может быть, по взгляду прочтешь и отобьется твое сердце вдруг.
Быть может я невзрачна, мечты мои прозрачны, Но я в них упрямо верю, томиться в моем теле. Но пусть со мной мгновенье, безрассудство и желанье быть всегда твоей. В толпе тебя я вижу, себя вдруг ненавижу захлебнется ночь водой Все будто так и было, любить себя забыла, Но пусть проклят день когда встретилась с тобой
Мне многого не надо коснуться только взглядом до кончиков ресниц твоих на несколько секунд. Тебя я заколдую, тебя ко всем ревную, но, может быть, по взгляду прочтешь и отобьется твое сердце вдруг
There′s a plane and I am flying There′s a mountain waiting for me Oh these years have been so trying
I don′t know if I can use them Am I strong enough To be the one? Will I live to have some children?
[x2] Help me get down, I can make it, Help me get down
If I only knew the answer I wouldn′t be bothering you, father
[x2] Help me get down I can make it Help me get down
If I only knew the answer And If all our days are numbered Then why do I keep counting
My sugar sweet is so attainable This behaviour so unexplainable The days just slip and slide Like they always did The trouble is my head Won′t let me forget
I took one last good look around So many unusual sounds I gotta get my feet on the ground
Help me get down, I can make it (ohhhhh...) Help me get down, I can make it, help me get down Help me get down I can make it, help me get down If I only knew the answer... I wouldn′t be bothering you, father, Help me get down I can make it, help me get down Help me get down I can make it, help me get down If I only knew the answer... And if all our days are numbered, Would you help me get down? (I can make it, help me get down) (Help me get down) (I can make it, help me get down) If I only knew the answer...
If I change my way of living And If I pave my streets with good times Will the mountain keep on giving
And if all of our days are numbered Then why do I keep counting
Nobody ever had a dream round here But I don′t really mind that it′s starting to get to me Nobody ever pulls the seams round here But I don′t really mind that it′s starting to get to me
I′ve got this energy beneath my feet Like something underground′s gonna come up and carry me I′ve got this sentimental heart that beats But I don′t really mind that it′s starting to get to me now
Why do you waste my time? Is the answer to the question on your mind And I′m sick of all my judges So scared of what they′ll find But I know that I can make it As long as somebody takes me home every now and then
Well have you ever seen the lights? Have you ever seen the lights?
I took a shuttle on a shockwave ride Where people on the pen pull the trigger for accolades I took a bullet and I looked inside Running through my veins an American masquerade
I still remember grandma Dixie′s wake I′ve never really known anybody to die before Red, white and blue upon a birthday cake My brother, he was born on the fourth of the July and that′s all
Why do you waste my time? Is the answer to the question on your mind And I′m sick of all my judges They′re so scared of letting me shine But I know that I can make it As long as somebody takes me home
Every now and then Every now and then
You know I see London, I see Sam′s Town Holds my hand and lets my hair down Rolls that world right off my shoulder I see London, I see Sam′s Town now
You′ve painted up your lips and rolled and curled your tinted hair, Ruby are you contemplating going out somewhere? The shadows on the wall tell me the sun is going down, Oh Ruby, don′t take your love to town.
It wasn′t me that started that old crazy Asian war, But I was proud to go and do my patriotic chore, And yes, it′s true that I′m not the man I used to be, Oh Ruby, I still need some company.
It′s hard to love a man whose legs are bent and paralyzed, And the wants and needs of a woman your age really I realize, But it won′t be long, I′ve heard them say, until I′m not around, Oh Ruby, don′t take your love to town.
She′s leaving now cause I just heard the slamming of the door, The way I know I heard its slams one hundred times before, And if I could move I′d get my gun and put her in the ground, Oh Ruby, don′t take your love to town.
Nobody ever had a dream round here, but I don′t really mind and/that it′s starting to get to me Nobody ever pulls the seams round here, but I don′t really mind and/that it′s starting to get to me
I′ve got this energy beneath my feet like something underground′s gonna come up and carry me, I′ve got this sentimental heart that beats but I don′t really mind (and) it′s starting to get to me
Now.."Why do you waste my time?" Is the answer to the question on your mind And I′m sick of all my judges so scared of what they′ll find But I know that I can make it As long as somebody takes me home, every now and then...
Oh, have you ever seen the lights? Have you ever seen the lights?
I took the shuttle on a shock-wave ride, where the people on the pen pull the trigger for accolade I took a bullet, and I looked inside Running through my veins An American masquerade
I still remember Grandma Dixie′s wake, I never really known anybody to die before Red white and blue upon a birthday cake, My brother, he was born on the fourth of the July...and that′s all
"So why do you waste my time?" Is the answer to the question on your mind And I′m sick of all my judges, so scared of letting me shine But I know that I can make it, as long as somebody takes me home...
Wooooooo!
(every now and then) [x2]
(You know) I see London, I see Sam′s Town holds my hand and let′s my hair down Rolls that world right off my shoulder I see London, I see Sam′s Town now

On the field I remember you were incredible Hey shut up, hey shut up, yeah On the field I remember you were incredible Hey shut up, hey shut up, yeah On the match with the boys, you think you′re alone With the pain that you drain from love In a car with a girl, promise me she′s not your world Cause Andy, you′re a star

Console me in my darkest hour Convince me that the truth is always grey Caress me in your velvet chair Conceal me from the ghosts you cast away
I′m in no hurry You go run and tell your friends I′m losing touch. Fill their heads with rumors of impending doom It must be true.
Console me in my darkest hour And tell me that you always hear my cries I wonder what you′ve got conspired I′m sure it dawns a consolation prize
I′m in no hurry You go run and tell your friends I′m losing touch. Fill the night with stories, the legend grows Of how you got lost But you made your way back home You sold your soul Like a Roman vagabond, yeah
I heard you from the wishing well in the city Console me in my darkest hour Then you throw me down
I′m in no hurry You go run and tell your friends I′m losing touch Fill your crown with rumors Impending doom, it must be true
But you made your way back home You sold your soul like a Roman vagabond And about how you got lost, But you made your way back home And the legions stand alone
Candy talks to strangers Thinks her life′s in danger No one gives a damn about her hair It′s lonely down on Track Street She used to go by Jackie The cops, they′ll steal your dreams and they′ll kill your prayers Take a number where the blood just barely dried
Wait for something better No one behind you Watching your shadows This feeling won′t go
Crooked wheels keep turning Children, are you learning Acclimatize but don′t you lose the plot A history of blisters Your brothers and your sisters Somewhere in the pages we forgot
Take a number Jackie Where the blood just barely dried You know I′m on your side
Wait for something better No one behind you Watching your shadows You gotta be stronger than the story Don′t let it blind you Rivers of shadow This feeling wont go
And the sky is full of dreams But you don′t know how to fly I don′t have a simple answer But I know that I could answer Something better
Leaves are falling down On the beautiful ground I heard a story from the man in red He said the leaves are falling down Such a beautiful sound so I think you Son, I think you better go ahead
But you always hold your head up high Cause it′s a long, long, long way down This town was meant for passing through But it ain′t nothing new Now go and show them That the world stayed round But it′s a long, long, long way down
You better run for the hills before they burn Listen to the sound of the world And watch it turn I just want to show you what I know And catch you when the current lets you go Or should I just get along with myself
I never did get along with everybody else I′ve been trying hard to do what′s right But you know I could stay here all night And watch the clouds fall from the sky
This river is wild This river is wild
Run for the hills before they burn Listen to the sound of the world Watch it turn But shake a little Sometimes I′m nervous when I talk I shake a little Sometimes i hate the line I walk I just want to show you what I know And catch you when the current lets you go
Or should I just get along with myself I never did get along with everybody else Ive been trying hard to do whats right But you know I could stay here all night And watch the clouds fall From the sky
Because this river is wild God speed you boy This river is wild
Now Adam′s taking bombs And he′s stuck on his mom Because that bitch Keeps trying to make him pray
He′s with the hippie in the park Coming over the dark Just trying to get some of that little girl play
You better run for the hills before they burn Listen to the sound of the world But watch it turn I just want to show you what I know And catch you when the current lets you go
Or should I get along with myself I never did get along with everybody else I′ve been trying hard to do whats right But you know I could stay here all night And watch the clouds fall from the sky
And pain is hell in me tonight Because this river is wild God speed you boy This river is wild God speed you boy This river is wild
Now the cards are everywhere face in dust The fairground I don′t think I ever seen so many headlights But there′s something pulling me The circus and the crew Well they′re just passing through Making sure the merry still goes round But it′s a long, long, long way down
Michael plays with stars Soul Sister won′t you take a ride in his car Late to call When you wanted to be all Baby, baby, don′t be so shy Rock children hold your heads up high In the night while I try And tell the ballad of Valentine
You got it bad, but you know it′s true
I caught up with a friend in Dallas We took a trip to New Orleans Those black-eyed ladies Won′t say they′re sorry
We finally caught a train to Memphis Where everybody talks the same Those blue suede babies All know my name
And I said hold tight Can′t you see it′s hurting me But I′ve got the buzz Like Marlon Brando Michael Valentine, can′t we unite?
We ended up in North Dakota Although my heart′s in Mexico My muсequita Abre tus ojos
With your new suit, and your black tie Hold on, you′re just a gambling man, all proper like I broke to the right and I caught your eye Shut your mouth and wave goodbye Tonight, I ain′t gonna let you rain on this parade
And I said hold tight Can′t you see it′s hurting me But I′ve got the buzz Like Marlon Brando Straight faced with misery tonight
And I will not lie when I say I ain′t cold no more But I′ve got the buzz Like Greta Garbo Walking forwards in the sun And I′ve got a coat tail left to ride
This snowman is shaping up to be an 8, But not out of 10, The robots awake to find that they′ve been taped down, Wondering when they′ll break through these chains, But little boys have action toys for brains, I′m living proof it can last a long time, Now the girls off the street are innocent and sweet, When they′re all in bed, They got their make-up and dreams of wonderland, Sprinkled inside their heads, And soon they will change, But tonight Hollywood has never seemed so strange, Now mother′s pray it′ll last a long time.
I want to roll around like a kid in the snow, I want to re-learn what I already know, Just let me take flight, Dressed in red, through the night, On a great big sled.
I want to wish you merry Christmas, Ho Ho Ho.
Now they boys are all grown up, And their working their fingers to the bone, They go around chasing them girls on the weekend, You know they still can′t be alone, I′ve been racking my brain, With thoughts of peace and love, How on earth did we get so mixed up? I pray to god it don′t last a long time.
I want to roll around like a kid in the snow, I want to re-learn what I already know, Just let me take flight, Dressed in red, through the night, On a great big sled.
I hear the sound of bells, There′s something on the roof, I wonder what this night will bring.
I want to roll around like a kid in the snow, (I hear the sound of bells) I want to re-learn what I already know, (There′s something on the roof) Just let me take flight, (I wonder what this night will bring) Dressed in red, through the night, On a great big sled.
I want to wish you merry Christmas, (Can′t do that) I want to wish you merry Christmas, (Can′t do that).
A lovestruck Romeo, sings the streets of serenade Laying everybody low with a love song that he made Find a streetlight, steps out of the shade Says something like, "You and me, babe, how about it?"

Juliet, the dice was loaded from the start And I bet and you exploded in my heart And I forget, I forget the movie song When you gonna realize, it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?
Come up on different streets, they both were streets of shame Both dirty, both mean, yes and the dream was just the same And I dream your dream for you and now your dream is real How can you look at me, as if I was just another one of your deals?
Well, you can fall for chains of silver, you can fall for chains of gold You can fall for pretty strangers and the promises they hold You promised me everything, you promised me thick and thin Now you just say, "Oh, Romeo, yeah, you know I used to have a scene with him"
Juliet, when we made love, you used to cry You said, "I love you like the stars above, "I love you till I die" There′s a place for us, you know the movie song When you gonna realize, it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?
I can′t do the talk like the talk on the TV And I can′t do a love song like the way it′s meant to be I can′t do everything but I′d do anything for you Can′t do anything except be in love with you
And all I do is miss you and the way we used to be All I do is keep the beat, the bad company And all I do is kiss you, through the bars of a Orion Juliet, I′d do the stars with you any time

Your heart is not able Let me show you how much I care I need those eyes to tide me over I’ll take your picture when I go It gives me strength and gives me patience But I’ll never let you know I got nothing on you baby But I always said I try Let me show you how much I care Cuz sometimes it gets hard And don’t she know Don’t give the ghost up just clench your fist You should have known by now you were on my list Don’t give the ghost up just clench your fist You should have known by now you were on my list Don’t give the ghost up just clench your fist You should have known by now you were on my list When your heart is not able And your prayers they’re not fables Let me show you (let me show you) Let me show you (let me show you) Let me show you how much I care oh
The unknown distance to the great beyond Stares back at my grieving frame To cast my shadow by the holy sun My spirit moans with a sacred pain And it′s quiet now The universe is standing still
There′s nothing I can say There′s nothing we can do now There′s nothing I can say There′s nothing we can do now
And all that stands between the souls release ? This temporary flesh and bone We know that it′s over now I feel my faded mind begin to roam
Every time you fall And every time you try Every foolish dream And every compromise Every word you spoke And everything you said Everything you left me, rambles in my head
There′s nothing I can say There′s nothing I can do now There′s nothing I can say There′s nothing I can do now
Up above the world so high
And everything you loved And every time you try Everybody′s watching Everybody cry
Stay, don′t leave me The stars can′t wait for your sign Don′t signal now
And there′s nothing I can say There′s nothing I can do now There′s nothing I can say There′s nothing we can do now
Goodnight, travel well Goodnight, travel well
And there′s nothing I can say There′s nothing I can do now
The Dustland Fairytale beginning With just another white trash county kiss in ′61. Long brown hair, and foolish eyes. He′d look just like you′d want him to Some kind of slick chrome American prince.
Blue Jean serenade Moon river what you do to me. I don′t believe you.
Saw Cinderella in a party dress, she was looking for a nightgown. I saw the devil wrapping up his hands, he′s getting ready for the showdown. I saw the minute that I turned away, I got my money on a pawn tonight.
Change came in disguise of revelation, set his soul on fire. She said she always knew he′d come around. And the decades disappear Like sinking ships but we persevere. God gives us hope but we still fear, we don′t know.
Your mind is poisoned. Castles in the sky, sit stranded, vandalized. The drawbridge is closing.
Saw Cinderella in a party dress, she was looking for a nightgown. I saw the devil wrapping up his hands, he′s getting ready for the showdown. I saw the ending where they turned the page, I threw my money and I ran away. Sent to the valley of the great divide Out where the dreams all hide. Out where the wind don′t blow, Out where the good girls die. And the sky moves slow I hear the bird don′t sing I hear the field don′t blow I hear the bell don′t ring I hear the bell don′t ring Out here the good girls die Now Cinderella don′t you go to sleep, it′s such a bitter form of refuge. Why don′t you know the kingdoms under siege and everyone needs you Is there still magic in the midnight sun, or did you leave it back in ′61? In the cadence of a young man′s eyes. Out where the dreams all hide
Believe me, Natalie Listen Natalie This is your last chance to find A go-go dance to disco now Please believe me, Natalie Listen Natalie This is your last chance to find A go-go dance to disco now
Forget what they said in Soho Leave the oh-no′s out And believe me, Natalie Listen Natalie This is your last chance
There is an old cliche Under your Monet, baby Remember the arch of roses Right above your couch Forget what they said in Soho Leave the oh-no′s out Yes, there is an old cliche Under your Monet, baby
You left the station now to the floor With speculation, what was it for? In that old hallway Mom says why don′t you stay You′ve been away for a long time
Believe me, Natalie This is your last chance To find a go-go Forget what they said in Soho And walk away If my dreams for us can′t get you through Just one more day It′s alright by me
God help me somehow There′s no time for survival left The time is now... Cause this might be your last chance To disco, oh-oh
Aggressively we all defend the role we play Regrettably time’s come to send you on your way We’ve seen it all bonfires of trust flash floods of pain It doesn’t really matter don’t you worry it’ll all work out No it doesn’t even matter don’t you worry what it’s all about We hope you enjoyed your stay It’s good to have you with us, even if it’s just for the day We hope you enjoyed your stay Outside the sun is shining, seems like heaven ain’t far away It’s good to have you with us Even if it’s just for the day It’s good to have you with us even if it’s just for the day Outside the sun is shining, seems like heaven ain’t far away It’s good to have you with us Even if it’s just for the day It’s good to have you with us even if it’s just for the day Outside the sun is shining, seems like heaven ain’t far away

Last time I said I was in control I had 25 debts and we both know When you come back now You′ll see my face I said 25 debts and we both pray
While I move away Hard times don′t come until tomorrow These eyes don′t see Take your skin off when you listen to me Move away Hard times don′t come until tomorrow These eyes in me Take your skin off when you′re talkin′ to me Me...
Oh what a world that we both come in I said hold it to the rock and let it in Oh what a world that we are in I said hold it to the rock and we′re both in
While I move away Hard times don′t come until tomorrow These eyes don′t see Take your skin off when you listen to me Move away Hard times don′t come until tomorrow These eyes don′t see Take your skin off when you′re listenin′ to me

Who let you go? Who let you go? Who let you go? Who let you go? Who let you go? Who let you go? Who let you go? Who let you go? I feel it inside, down in my soul And I just can′t hide these things that I know
We could be friends And I promise that it won′t get bad But hopefully that story ends But you ain′t got nothing I never had So let′s take it slow
Who let you go? Who let you go? Who let you go? Who let you go?
Someone must have loved you Not the way that I do... You′re missing what I′m trying to say Ain′t nothing getting in my way
So tell me that′s fantastic And promise me, you′ll always sigh I find it so romantic When you look into my beautiful eyes And lose control
Who let you go? Who let you go? Who let you go? Who let you go? Who let you go? Who let you go? Who let you go? Who let you go?
I don′t know what it means But I′ve been wondering Who let you go?
And honey, when you walk my way It makes me wanna say... Ohhh

Time it tells living in my home town, Wedding bells they begin easy Live it down, baby don’t talk that much, Baby knows, but baby don’t tease me. In the park we could go walking, Drowned in the dark or we could go sailing On the sea
Always here, always on time Close call, was it love or was it just easy Money talks when people need shoes and socks, Steady boys, I′m thinking she needs me
I was just sipping on something sweet I don’t need political process
I got this feeling that they‘re gonna break down the door I got this feeling they they’re gonna come back for more See I was thinking that I lost my mind But it’s been getting to me all this time And it don’t stop dragging me down
Silently reflection turns my world to stone Patiently correction leaves us all alone And sometimes I’m a travel man But tonight this engine′s failing
I still hear the children playing
Kick the can, kick the can, skip and blackjack Steal a car and ring a round-rosey, Rock and roll, candyland, boogeyman,
Run away and give me your sneakers
Acid rain, when Abel looked up at Cain We began the weeping and wailing A hurried high from pestilence pills and pride, It’s a shame, we could have gone sailing But heaven knows, Heaven knows everything Tranquilize
I got this feeling that they‘re gonna break down the door I got this feeling they they’re gonna come back for more See I was thinking that I lost my mind But it’s been getting to me all this time And it don’t stop dragging me down
Silently reflection turns my world to stone Patiently correction leaves us all alone And sometimes I’m travel man But tonight this engine′s failing
I still hear the children playing Dead beat dancers come to us and stay
Cause i don’t care where you′ve been And I don’t care what you′ve seen We’re the ones who still believe And we’re looking for a page In that lifeless book of hope Where a dream might help you cope With the Bushes and the bombs aha, Tranquilized.
It′s getting close to sundown Over the Sierra Stranded on the heat wave Burning with desire She was on the sidewalk Looking for a nightlife Talked about the real thing And drove into the fire Headlights on the highway The desert wind is howling Rattlesnakes and romance Are spilling with the rain Candy apple red dress Bleeding when she kissed me Heaven in a ragtop Takes away my pain
When your chips are down When your highs are low Joy ride (Joy ride) Move across the night like a separate wind (Joy ride)
Pulled up to a motel Vacancy was buzzing Pink and dirty neon Settled on the hood Wrapped her arms around me Come a little closer Stumbled in the twilight And fell onto the floor of the Mona Lisa Dreaming of the free world Lipstick on the nightstand And demons at the door
When your chips are down When your highs are low Joy ride (Joy ride) Move across the night like a separate wind (Joy ride)
When your hopes and dreams Lose the will to go Joy ride Reaching for the light More than we can win And something in the distance A glorious existence A simple celebration A place you never went before (Why don′t you kiss me And tell me that you want it?) Reaching for the light More than we can win When your chips are down (When your chips are down) When your highs are low Joy ride (Joy ride) All your hopes and dreams All you need to know Joy ride
I know what you want I wanna take you a midnight show tonight If you can keep a secret I got a blanket in the back seat on my mind And a little place that sits beneath the sky She turned her face to speak But no-one heard her cry Drive faster, boy Drive faster, boy
I know there′s a hope There′s too many people trying to help me cope You got a real short skirt I wanna look up, look up, look up, yeah yeah
We were just in time Let me take a little more off your mind There′s something in my head Somewhere in the back said We were just a good thing We were such a good thing
Make it go away without a word But promise me you′ll stay And fix these things I′ve hurt Oh make it go away!
Drive faster, boy Drive faster, boy
Oh crashing tide can′t hide a guilty girl With jealous hearts that start with gloss and curls I took my baby′s breath beneath the chandelier Of stars in atmosphere And watch her disappear Into the midnight show...
Oh faster, faster, faster... Oh no no no no no... If you keep a secret Well baby... you can keep a secret If you keep a secret...
To the centre of the city where all roads meet, waiting for you To the depths of the ocean where all hopes sank, searching for you Moving through the silence without motion, waiting for you In a room with a window in the corner I found truth
In the shadowplay acting out your own death, knowing no more As the assassins all grouped in four lines, dancing on the floor And with cold steel, odour on their bodies made a move to connect I could only stare in disbelief as the crowds all left
I did everything, everything I wanted to I let them use you for their own ends To the centre of the city in the night, waiting for you To the centre of the city in the night, waiting for you
I pack my case. I check my face. I look a little bit older. I look a little bit colder. With one deep breath, and one big step, I move a little bit closer. I move a little bit closer. For reasons unknown.
I caught my stride. I flew and flied. I know if destiny’s kind, I’ve got the rest of my mind. But my heart, it don’t beat, it don’t beat the way it used to. And my eyes, they don’t see you no more. And my lips, they don’t kiss, they don’t kiss the way they used to, and my eyes don’t recognize you no more.
For reasons unknown; for reasons unknown.
There was an open chair. We sat down in the open chair. I said if destiny’s kind, I’ve got the rest of my mind. But my heart, it don’t beat, it don’t beat the way it used to. And my eyes, they don’t see you no more. And my lips, they don’t kiss, they don’t kiss the way they used to, and my eyes don’t recognize you at all.
For reasons unknown; for reasons unknown.
I said my heart, it don’t beat, it don’t beat the way it used to and my eyes don’t recognize you no more. And my lips, they don’t kiss, they don’t kiss the way they used to, and my eyes don’t recognize you no more.
For reasons unknown; for reasons unknown; for reasons unknown; for reasons unknown.
When I offer you survival, You say it′s hard enough to live, It′s not so bad, it′s not so bad How do you know that you′re right?
I awoke on the roadside, In the land of the free ride, And I can′t pull it any longer, The sun is beating down my neck
So I ran with the devil Left a trail of excuses, Like a stone on the water, The elements decide my fate, Watch it go..."bling".
When I offer you survival, You say it′s hard enough to live, Don′t tell me that it′s over, Stand up Poor and tired, But more than this
How do you know that you′re right? If you′re not nervous anymore, It′s not so bad, it′s not so bad
I feel my vision slipping in and out of focus, But I′m pushing on for that horizon, I′m pushing on, Now I′ve got the blowing wind against my face
So you sling rocks at the rip tide, Am I wrong or am I right? I hit the bottom with a "huh!" ?? Quite strange, I get my glory in the desert rain, Watch it go..."bling".
When I offer you survival, You say it′s hard enough to live, And I′ll tell you when it′s over, Shut up poor and tired, But more than this
How do you know that you′re right? If you′re not nervous anymore, It′s not so bad, it′s not so bad...
Higher and higher, We′re gonna take it, Down to the wire, We′re gonna make it, Out of the fire, Higher and higher. [x2]
Higher and higher, We′re gonna take it, Down to the wire, We′re gonna make it out, Whoa-oh-oh Higher and higher...
It ain′t hard to hold, When it shines like gold, You′ll remember me.
White demon love song down the hall White demon shadow on the road Back up your mind, there is a call He isn′t coming after all Love this time She likes the way he sings White demon love song′s in her dreams
White demon, where′s your selfish kiss? White demon sorrow will arrange Let′s not forget about the fear Black invitation to this place that cannot change While strangely holy, come for a rain
(darling)
White demon, widen your heart′s scope White demon, who let your friends go? White demon, widen your heart′s scope White demon, who let your friends go?

White demon, widen your heart′s scope White demon, who let your friends go? White demon, widen your heart′s scope White demon, who let your friends go?
Remember Rio and get down Like some other DJ, in some other town She′s been trying to tell me to hold tight But I′ve been waiting this whole night But I′ve been down across a road or two But now I′ve found the velvet sun That shines on me and you
In the back, uh huh, I can′t crack We′re on top It′s just a shimmy and a shake, uh huh I can′t fake, we′re on top We′re on top
The day is breaking, we′re still here Your body′s shaking, and it′s clear You really need it, so let go And let me feed it, but you know
That I′ve been down across a road or two But now I′ve found the velvet sun That shines on me and you
In the back, uh huh, I can′t crack We′re on top It′s just a shimmy and a shake, uh huh I can′t fake, we′re on top We′re on top We bring the bump to the grind, uh huh I don′t mind, we′re on top It′s just a shimmy and a shake, uh huh I can′t fake, we′re on top We′re on top
And we don′t mean to satisfy tonight So get your eyes off of my bride tonight Cause I don′t need to satisfy tonight
It′s like a cigarette in the mouth Or a handshake in the doorway I look at you and smile because I′m fine
And we don′t mean to satisfy tonight So get your eyes off of my bride tonight Cause I don′t need to satisfy tonight
It′s like a cigarette in the mouth Or a handshake in the doorway I look at you and smile because I′m fine

Everything will be alright Everything will be alright Everything will be alright Everything will be alright
She′s got her halo and wings Hidden under his eyes But she′s an angel for sure She just can′t stop telling lies But it′s too late for his love Already caught in a trap His angel′s kiss was a joke And she is not coming back
Because heaven sends and heaven takes Crashing cars in his brain Keep him tied up to a dream And only she can set him free And then he says to me
Kill me now, kill me now, kill me now, kill me now Kill me now, kill me now, kill me now, kill me now
Yeah she′s got a criminal mind He′s got a reason to pray His life is under the gun He′s got to hold every day
Now he just wants to wake up Yeah, just to prove it′s a dream Cause she′s an angel for sure But that remains to be seen
Because heaven sends and heaven takes Crashing cars in his brain Keep him tied up to a dream And only she can set him free And then he says to me
Kill me now, kill me now, kill me now, kill me now Kill me now, kill me now, kill me now, kill me now
Stupid on the streets of London James Dean in the rain Without her it′s not the same The same, the same, but it′s alright
Because heaven sends and heaven takes Crashing cars in his brain Keep him tied up to a dream And only she can set him free And then he says to me
Kill me now, kill me now, kill me now, kill me now Kill me now, kill me now, kill me now, kill me now Again and again
Racey days Help me through the hopeless haze But my oh my Tragic eyes I can′t even recognize myself behind So if the answer is no Can I change your mind
Out again, a siren screams at half past ten And you won′t let go While I ignore, that we both felt like this Before it starts to show So if I had a chance Would you let me know
Why aren′t you shaking Step back in time Graciously taken Oh you′re too kind
And if the answer is no Can I change your mind
We′re all the same And love is blind The sun is gone Before it shines
And I said if the answer is no Can I change your mind

Ha I gotta tell ya I′ll make it better But i know there′s somethin′ i needed to say When i was out, though Maybe you were better alone I know i′ll make it home
She told me sweet thang Run a labour In your shoes Touch me til i follow in love I wanna help her Maybe we were better alone I wanna show you how
And then we walked out Make it ? now I said i want it but i never alone I wanna show you Maybe we were somethin′ uncool I wanna make you sing
Lift me up on my honour Take me over this spell Get this weight off my shoulders I′ve carried it well Loose these shackles of pressure Shake me out of these chains Lead me not to temptation
Hold my hand harder Ease my mind Roll down the smoke screen And open the sky
Let me fly Man I need a release from This troublesome mind Fix my feet when they’re stumbling And well you know it hurts sometimes You know it′s gonna bleed sometimes
Dig me out from this thorn tree Help me bury my shame Keep my eyes from the fire They can’t handle the flame Grace cut out from my brothers When most of them fell I carry it well
Let me fly Man I need a release from This troublesome mind Fix my feet when they’re stumbling I guess you know it hurts sometimes You know it′s gonna bleed sometimes
Now hold on I’m not looking for sweet talk I’m looking for time Top a tower and sleep walk Brother, cause it hurts sometimes You know it′s gonna bleed sometimes Hold on
You know its gonna hurt sometimes When you call me Hold on Hold on Hold on
I’m gonna climb that symphony home and make it mine Let his resonance light my way See, all these pessimistic sufferers tend to drag me down So I could use it to shelter what good I’ve found
You sit there in your heartache Waiting on some beautiful boy to To save you from your old ways You play forgiveness Watch it now Here he comes
He doesnt look a thing like Jesus But he talks like a gentleman Like you imagined When you were young
Can we climb this mountain I dont know Higher now than ever before I know we can make it if we take it slow Let′s take it easy Easy now Watch it go
We′re burning down the highway skyline On the back of a hurricane That started turning When you were young When you were young
And sometimes you close your eyes And see the place where you used to live When you were young
They say the devil′s water It ain′t so sweet You dont have to drink right now But you can dip your feet Every once in a little while
You sit there in your heartache Waiting on some beautiful boy to To save you from your old ways You play forgiveness Watch it now Here he comes
He doesnt look a thing like Jesus But he talks like a gentleman Like you imagined When you were young (talks like a gentleman) (like you imagined) When you were young
I said he doesnt look a thing like Jesus He doesnt look a thing like Jesus But more than you′ll ever know
We took a walk that night, but it wasn′t the same We had a fight on the promenade out in the rain She said she loved me, but she had somewhere to go She couldn′t scream while I held I close I swore I′d never let her go Tell me what you wanna know Oh come on, oh come on, oh come on There ain′t no motive for this crime Jenny was a friend of mine So come on, oh come on, oh come on
I know my rights, I′ve been here all day and it′s time For me to go, so let me know if it′s alright I just can′t take this, I swear I told you the truth She couldn′t scream while I held I close I swore I′d never let her go
Tell me what you wanna know Oh come on, oh come on, oh come on And then you whisper in my ear I know what you′re doing here So come on, oh come on, oh come on There ain′t no motive for this crime Jenny was a friend of mine Oh come on, oh come on, oh come on
We took a back road. We′re gonna look at the stars. We took a backroad in my car. Down to the ocean, it’s only water and sand And in the ocean we′ll hold hands.
But I don′t really like you, apologetically dressed in the best, but on a heartbeat glide.
Without an answer, the thunder speaks for the sky, and on the cold, wet dirt I cry. And on the cold, wet dirt I cry.
Don’t you wanna come with me? Don’t you wanna feel my bones on your bones? It′s only natural.
A cinematic vision ensued like the holiest dream. It′s someone′s calling? An angel whispers my name, but the message relayed is the same: “Wait till tomorrow, you′ll be fine." But it′s gone to the dogs in my mind. I always hear them when the dead of night comes calling to save me from this fight. But they can never wrong this right.
Don′t you wanna come with me? Don′t you wanna feel my bones on your bones? It′s only natural. Don’t you wanna swim with me? Don’t you wanna feel my skin on your skin? It′s only natural.
(Never had a lover) I never had a lover (Never had soul) I never had soul (Never had a good time) And I never had a good time (Never got cold) I never got gold.
Don′t you wanna come with me? Don′t you wanna feel my bones on your bones? It′s only natural. Don′t you wanna swim with me? Don′t you wanna feel my skin on your skin? It′s only natural. Don′t you wanna come with me? Don′t you wanna feel my bones on your bones? It’s only natural. Come and take a swim with me. Don′t you wanna feel my skin on your skin? It’s only natural
Save some face, you know you′ve only got one Change your ways while you′re young Boy, one day you′ll be a man Oh girl, he′ll help you understand Smile like you mean it Smile like you mean it
Looking back at sunsets on the Eastside We lost track of the time Dreams aren′t what they used to be Some things slide by so carelessly
Smile like you mean it Smile like you mean it
And someone is calling my name From the back of the restaurant And someone is playing a game In the house that I grew up in And someone will drive her around Down the same streets that I did On the same streets that I did
Smile like you mean it Smile like you mean it Smile like you mean it Smile like you mean it
Coming out of my cage And I′ve been doing just fine Gotta gotta be down, because I want it all. It started out with a kiss How did it end up like this? It was only a kiss It was only a kiss.
Now I′m falling asleep And she′s calling a cab While he′s having a smoke And she′s taking a drag
Now they′re going to bed And my stomach is sick And it′s all in my head but She′s touching his chest now He takes off her dress now Letting me go And I just can′t look It′s killing me It′s taking control
Jealousy, turning saints into the sea Twirling through sick lullabies Choking on your alibis. But it′s just the price I pay. Destiny is calling me Open up my eager eyes ′Cause I′m Mr. Brightside.
Coming out of my cage and I′ve been doing just fine Gotta gotta be down, because I want it all It started out with a kiss How did it end up like this [It was only a kiss] It was only a kiss
Now I′m falling asleep And she′s calling a cab While he′s having a smoke And she′s taking a drag Now they′re going to bed And my stomach is sick And it′s all in my head But she′s touching his chest now He takes off her dress now Letting me go.
Cause I just can′t look It′s killing me They′re taking control
Jealousy, turning saints into the sea Twirling through sick lullabies Choking on your alibis But it′s just the price I pay Destiny is calling me Open up my eager eyes: ′Cause I′m Mr. Brightside.
