I don′t want to spend the rest of my life Looking at the barrel of an armalite I don′t want to spend the rest of my days Keeping out of trouble like the soldiers say I don′t want to spend my time in hell Looking at the walls of a prison cell I don′t ever want to play the part Of a statistic on a government chart
There has to be an invisible sun It gives its heat to everyone There has to be an invisible sun That gives us hope when the whole day′s done
It′s dark all day and it glows all night Factory smoke and acetylene light I face the day with me head caved in Looking like something that the cat brought in
There has to be an invisible sun It gives its heat to everyone There has to be an invisible sun That gives us hope when the whole day′s done
And they′re only going to change this place By killing everybody in the human race They would kill me for a cigarette But I don′t even wanna die just yet
There has to be an invisible sun It gives its heat to everyone There has to be an invisible sun That gives us hope when the whole day′s done
Only the wind can carry my message to you Only the wind can say all that I wanted to I drown beneath the ocean, sinking fast I don′t know Only the wind...
Only the wind can carry my message to you Only the wind can say all that I wanted to I drown beneath the ocean of my dreams, sinking fast, cringing at all my screams Only the wind
Sleep lay behind me like a broken ocean Strange waking dreams before my eyes unfold You lay there sleeping like an open doorway I stepped outside myself and felt so cold
Take a look at my new toy It′ll blow your head in two, o boy Truth hits everybody Truth hits everyone
I thought about it and my dream was broken I clutch at images like dying breath And I don′t want to make a fuss about it The only certain thing in life is death
Take a look at my new toy It′ll blow your head in two, o boy Truth hits everybody Truth hits everyone
Don′t tell the director I said so But are you safe Miss Gradenko? We were at a policy meeting They were planning new ways of cheating I didn′t want to rock your boat But you sent this dangerous note You′ve been letting your feelings show
Are you safe Miss Gradenko? Miss Gradenko are you safe? Are you safe Miss Gradenko? Miss Gradenko are you safe?

Your uniform don′t seem to fit You′re much too alive in it You′ve been letting your feelings show Are you safe Miss Gradenko? Miss Gradenko are you safe?
Is anybody alive in here? Is anybody alive in here? Is anybody at all in here? Nobody but us in here Nobody but us Nobody but us in here Nobody but us
Fifty million years ago You walked upon the planet so, Lord of all that you could see Just a little bit like me
Walking in your footsteps
Hey Mr. Dinosaur You really couldn′t ask for more You were God′s favourite creature But you didn′t have a future
Walking in your footsteps
Hey mighty brontosaurus Don′t you have a lesson for us You thought your rule would always last There were no lessons in your past You were built three stories high They say you would not hurt a fly If we explode the atom bomb Would they say that we were dumb?
Walking in your footsteps
Fifty million years ago They walked upon the planet so They live in a museum It′s the only place you′ll see um.
Though I′ve tried before to tell her Of the feelings I have for her in my heart Everytime that I come near her I just lose my nerve As I′ve done from the start
Every little thing she does is magic Everything she doe just turns me on Even though my life before was tragic Now I know my love for her goes on
Do I have to tell the story Of a thousand rainy days since we first met It′s a big enough umbrella But it′s always me that ends up getting wet
Every little thing she does is magic Everything she do just turns me on Even though my life before was tragic Now I know my love for her goes on
I resolved to call her up a thousand times a day And ask her if she′ll marry me in some old fashioned way But my silent fears have gripped me Long before I reach the phone Long before my tongue has tripped me Must I always be alone
Every little thing she does is magic Everything she do just turns me on Even though my life before was tragic Know I know my love for her goes on
Every little thing Every little thing Every little thing she doe is magic magic magic Magic magic magic
I never thought of leading I′ve got my own machine And I′ve paid my dues all along All set for breaking When I missed those other people ′Cause I knew that I was really alone
Fall out Fall out with all the leaders and gangs Fall out Fall out with all the leaders and gangs
I saw my education It was my indoctrination Just to be another parking machine All my sense was breaking When I missed those other people ′Cause I knew that I was not very clean
Fall out Fall out with all the leaders and gangs Fall out Fall out with all the leaders and gangs
I′d invite you back to my place It′s only mine because it holds my suitcase It looks home to me alright But it′s a hundred miles from yesterday night
Must I be the man in a suitcase Is it me, the man with the stranger′s face
Another key for my collection For security I race for my connection Bird in a flying cage you′ll never get to know me well The world′s my oyster a hotel room′s a prison cell
Must I be the man in a suitcase Is it me, the man with the stranger′s face
I′d invite you back to my place It′s only mine because it hold my suitcase It looks like home to me alright But it′s a hundred miles from yesterday night
Once upon a daydream I fell in love with you Once upon a moonbeam I gave that love to you Once upon a lifetime I knew it must be true When the months had turned us I′d have to marry you
Once upon a daydream Doesn′t happen anymore Once upon a moonbeam This is no place for tenderness
Once her daddy found out He threw her to the floor He killed her unborn baby And kicked me from the door Once upon a nightmare I bought myself a gun I blew her daddy′s brains out Now hell has just begun
Once upon a daydream Doesn′t happen anymore Once upon a moonbeam This is no place for sentiment
(Oh....)
Once upon a lifetime A lifetime filled with tears The boy would pay for his crime With all his natural years Once upon a daydream He′d make you his someday Once upon a moonbeam He′d dream his life away
Once upon a daydream Doesn′t happen anymore Once upon a moonbeam This is no place for miracles
Once upon a daydream Once upon a daydream Once upon a daydream Once upon a day... Dream
Now that I have found you In the coolth of your evening smile The shade of your parasol And your love flows through me Though I drink at your pool I burn for you I burn for you
You and I are lovers And nighttime falls around our bed In peace we sleep entwined And your love flows through me Though an ocean soothes me head I burn for you I burn for you
Stars will fall from dark skies As ancient rocks are turning Quiet fills the room And your love flows through me
Though I lie here so still I burn for you I burn for you
Fatal fascination for the seedy part of town Walk down the street and your head spins round Don′t be seen alone without your friends at night Take a gun or a knife to the low life
Don′t have to be born into this society Pay for love but the hate comes free Bring enough money for the rest of your life Don′t bring your wife to the low life
Bringing us there to the degradation Always keep your back to the wall No rewards for your infatuation Low life No life at all Yeah, low life, low life
In here to long to be afraid anymore You can′t reach the bed so you sleep on the floor You get so stoned you think you could fly But you won′t get high on the low life
Tied to the tracks and the train′s just coming Strapped to the wing with the engine running You say that this wasn′t in your plan And don′t mess around with the demolition man
Tied to a chair, and the bomb is ticking This situation was not of your picking You say that this wasn′t in your plan And don′t mess around with the demolition man
I′m a walking nightmare, an arsenal of doom I kill conversation as I walk into the room I′m a three line whip I′m the sort of thing they ban I′m a walking disaster I′m a demolition man
You come to me like a moth to the flame It′s love you need but I don′t play that game ′Cos you could be my greatest fan But I′m nobody′s friend I′m a demolition man
I′m a walking nightmare, an arsenal of doom I kill conversation as I walk into the room I′m a three line whip I′m the sort of thing they ban I′m a walking disaster I′m a demolition man
My sisters and I Have this wish before we die And it may sound strange As if our minds are deranged Please don′t ask us why Beneath the sheltering sky We have this strange obsession You have the means in your possession
We want our tea in the Sahara with you We want our tea in the Sahara with you
The young man agreed He would satisfy their need So they danced for his pleasure With a joy you could not measure They would wait for him here The same place every year Beneath the sheltering sky Across the desert he would fly
Tea in the Sahara with you Tea in the Sahara with you
The sky turned to black Would he ever come back They would climb a high dune They would pray to the moon But he′d never return So the sisters would burn As their eyes searched the land With their cups still full of sand
Don′t think me unkind Words are hard to find They′re only cheques I′ve left unsigned From the banks of chaos in my mind And when their eloquence escapes me Their logic ties me up and rapes me
De do do do de da da da Is all I want to say to you De do do do de da da da Their innocence will pull me through De do do do de da da da Is all I want to say to you De do do do de da da da They′re meaningless and all that′s true
Poets priests and politicians Have words to thank for their positions Words that scream for your submission And no-one′s jamming their transmission ′Cos when their eloquence escapes you Their logic ties you up and rapes you
De do do do de da da da Is all I want to say to you De do do do de da da da Their innocence will pull me through De do do do de da da da Is all I want to say to you De do do do de da da da They′re meaningless and all that′s true
He goes out at night with his big boots on None of his friends know right from wrong They kick a boy to death ′cos he don′t belong You′ve got to humanise yourself
A policeman put on his uniform He′d like to have a gun just to keep him warm Because violence here is a social norm You′ve got to humanise yourself
I can dream up schemes when I′m sitting in my seat I don′t see any flaws till I get to my feet I wish I never woke up this morning Life was easy when it was boring
I could make a mark if it weren′t so dark I could be replaced by any bright spark But darkness makes me fumble For a key To a door That′s wide open
Instead of worrying about my clothes I could be someone that nobody knows I wish I never woke up this morning Life was easy when it was boring
I can dream up schemes when I′m sitting in my seat I don′t see any flaws till I get to my feet I wish I never woke up this morning Life was easy when it was boring
Woke up in my clothes again this morning Don′t know exactly where I am And I should heed my doctor′s warning He does the best with me he can
He claims I suffer from delusions Yet I′m so confident I′m sane It can′t be no optical illusion So how can you explain Shadows in the rain
And if you see us on the corner And we′re dancing in the rain I join my friends there when I see them Outside my window pane Shadows in the rain Shadows in the rain
Shadows in the rain Shadows in the rain
Woke up in my clothes again this morning Don′t know exactly where I am I should heed my doctor′s warning He does the best with me he can
How can you say that you′re not responsible? What does it have to do with me? What is my reaction, what should it be? Confronted by this latest atrocity
Driven to tears
Hide my face in my hands, shame wells in my throat My comfortable existance is reduced to a shallow meaningless party Seems that when some innocent die All we can offer them is a page in a some magazine Too many cameras and not enough food ′Cos this is what we′ve seen
Driven to tears
Protest is futile, nothing seems to get through What′s to become of our world, who knows what to do
The night came down, jungle sounds were in my ears City screams are all I′ve heard in twenty years The razor′s edge of night, it cuts into my sleep I sit upon the edge now Shall I make that leap?
I′m the omegaman I′m the omegaman
The sky′s alive with turned on television sets I walk the streets and seek another vision yet The echo makes me turn to see that last frontier The edge of time closes down as I disappear
I′m the omegaman I′m the omegaman I′m the omegaman I′m the omegaman Always talking to myself Oh!
The time that′s best is when surroundings fade away The presense of another world comes close to me It′s time for me to throw away this paper knife I′m not alone in reaching for a perfect life
I′m the omegaman I′m the omegaman I′m the omegaman I′m the omegaman
There′s a little black spot on the sun today It′s the same old thing as yesterday There′s a black hat caught in a high tree top There′s a flag pole rag and the wind won′t stop
I have stood here before inside the pouring rain With the world turning circles running ′round my brain I guess I′m always hoping that you′ll end this reign But it′s my destiny to be the king of pain
There′s a little black spot on the sun today That′s my soul up there It′s the same old thing as yesterday Tha′s my soul up there There′s a black hat caught in a high tree top That′s my soul up there There′s a flag pole rag and the wind won′t stop That′s my sould up there
I have stood here before inside the pouring rain With the world turning circles running ′round my brain I guess I′m always hoping that you′ll end this reign But it′s my destiny to be the king of pain
There′s a fossil that′s trapped in a high cliff wall That′s my soul up there There′s a dead salmon frozen in a waterfall That′s my soul up there There′s a blue whale beached by a springtide′s ebb That′s my soul up there There′s a butterfly trapped in a spider′s web That′s my soul up there
I have stood here before inside the pouring rain With the world turning circles running ′round my brain I guess I′m always hoping that you′ll end this reign But it′s my destiny to be the king of pain
There′s a king on a throne with his eyes torn out There′s a blind man looking for a shadow of doubt Ther′s a rich man sleeping on a golden bed There′s a skeleton choking on a crust of bread King of pain
There′s a red fox thorn by a huntsman′s pack That′s my soul up there There′s a black winged gull with a broken back That′s my soul up there There′s a little black spot on the sun today It′s the same old thing as yesterday
I have stood here before inside the pouring rain With the world turning circles running ′round my brain I guess I′m always hoping that you′ll end this reign But it′s my destiny to be the king of pain
King of pain King of pain King of pain I′ll always be king of pain
It′s all a game You′re not the same Your famous name The price of fame
O no -- try to liberate me I said o no -- stay and irritate me I said o no -- try to elevate me I said o no -- just a fallen hero
Don′t wanna hear about the drugs you′re taking Don′t wanna read about the love you′re making Don′t wanna hear about the life you′re faking Don′t wanna read about the muck they′re raking
You sang your song For much too long The songs they′re wrong The bread has gone
O no -- try to liberate me I said o no -- stay and irritate me I said o no -- try to elevate me I said o no -- just a fallen hero
Don′t wanna hear about the drugs you′re taking Don′t wanna read about the love you′re making Don′t wanna hear about the life you′re faking Don′t wanna read about the muck they′re raking
It′s all a game You′re not the same Your famous name The price of fame
O no -- try to liberate me I said o no -- stay and irritate me I said o no -- try to elevate me I said o no -- just a fallen hero
Don′t wanna find out what you′ve been taking Don′t wanna read about the love you′re making Don′t wanna hear about the life you′re faking Don′t wanna read about the muck they′re raking
I change my clothes ten times before I take you on a date I′m in a cold sweat, I panic, and it makes me late I knew you never asked for this I know My shots will always misfire My shots will always miss
Does everyone stare this way at you? I only look this way at you
I change my clothes ten times before I take you on a date I get the heebie-jeebies, and my panic makes me late I break into a cold sweat reaching for the phone I let it ring twice before I chicken out and decide you′re not at home
Does everyone stare the way I do? I only stare this way at you
I never noticed the size of my feet Until I kicked you in the shins Will you ever forgive me For the shape I′m in For the shape I′m in
Does everyone stare the way I do? I only stare this way at you
I′m gonna write you a sonnet but I don′t know where to start I′m so used to laughing at the things in my heart Last of all I′m sorry ′cos you never asked for this I can see I′m not your type and my shot will always miss
Does everyone stare the way I do? I only stare this way at you
Well, the telephone is ringing Is that my mother on the phone? The telephone is ringing Is that my mother on the phone? The telephone is screaming Won′t she leave me alone The telephone is ringing Is that my mother on the phone?
Well, every girl I got out with Becomes my mother in the end Every girl I go out with Becomes my mother in the end Well, I hear my mother calling But I don′t need her as a friend Every girl I go out with Becomes my mother in the end
Oh Oh mother
Oh mother dear please listen And don′t devour me Oh mother dear please listen And don′t devour me Oh women please have mercy Let this poor boy be Oh mother dear please listen And don′t devour me
When you reach number ten And think the struggle ends But it ain′t the end It′s only a trend
You have to unbend ′Cause it′s only a trend Don′t lose all your friends Don′t make heroes end
When you reach number eight it ain′t no pearly gate ′Cause it won′t satiate your growing appetite You can ply your trade and push your crusade Emancipate or indoctrinate, but the Traps are all laid for and honest crusade Your old values will fade as you struggle to make the grade As you struggle to make the grade (As you struggle to make the grade) (You needn′t bother)
When you hit number four you′re almost through the door But there′s a whole lot more you just can′t ignore The telephone′s sure, you know the score But don′t let this uproar dissipate your encore It′s written in the news how you paid your dues But you′ve no excuse for the people you abuse
When you reach number one you can beat your drum You can sack your roadies in Birmingham When your record is platinum, you can stick it to the bath, To the wall like you′ve always planned It′s written in the news how you paid your dues But you′ve no excuse for the people you abuse
No time for the complexities of conversation No time smiles, no time for knowing No time for the intricacies of explanation No time for sharing, even less for showing
If I could I′d slow the whole world down I′d bring it to it′s knees I′d stop it spinning round But as it is I′m climbing up an endless wall
No time at all No time this time
No time for a quick kiss at the railway station No time for a suitcase, sandwich and a morning paper Only time for time tables, calls and transportation No time to think no time to dare
If I could I′d slow the whole world down I′d bring it to it′s knees I′d stop it spinning round But as it is I′m climbing up an endless wall
No time at all No time this time
If I could I′d slow the whole world down I′d bring it to it′s knees I′d stop it spinning round But as it is I′m climbing up an endless wall
First to fall over when the atmosphere is less than perfect Your sensibilities are shaken by the slightest defect You live you life like a canary in a coalmine You get so dizzy even walking in a straight line
You say you want to spend the winter in Firenza You′re so afraid to catch a dose of influenza You live your life like a canary in a coalmine You get so dizzy even walking in a straight line
Canary in a coalmine
Now if I tell you that you suffer from delusions You pay your analyst to reach the same conclusions You live your life like a canary in a coalmine You get so dizzy even walking in a straight line
Canary in a coalmine
First to fall over when the atmosphere is less than perfect Your sensibilities are shaken by the slightest defect You live your life like a canary in a coalmine You get so dizzy even walking in a straight line
You consider me the young apprentice Caught between the Scylla and Charibdes Hypnotized by you if I should linger Staring at the ring around your finger I have only come here seeking knowledge Things they would not teach me of in college I can see the destiny you sold turned into a shining band of gold
And I′ll be wrapped around your finger I′ll be wrapped around your finger
Mephistopheles is not your name, I know what you′re up to just the same I will listen hard to your tuition and you will see it come to its fruition
And I′ll be wrapped around your finger I′ll be wrapped around your finger
Devil and the deep blue sea behind me Vanish in the air, you′ll never find me I will turn your face to alabaster Then you′ll find your servant is your master
And you′ll be wrapped around my finger You′ll be wrapped around my finger, you′ll be wrapped around my finger
There′s a house on my street And it looks real neat I′m the chap who lives in it There′s a tree on the sidewalk There′s a car by the door I′ll go for a drive in it And when the wombat comes He will find me gone He′ll look for a place to sit
My wife has burned the scrambled eggs The dog just bit my leg My teenage daughter ran away My fine young son has turned out gay
Cut off my fingers in the Door of my car How could I do it? My wife is proud to tell me Of her love affairs How could she do this to me?
My wife has burned the scrambled eggs The dog just bit my leg My teenage daughter ran away My fine young son has turned out gay And it would be OK on any other day And it would be OK on any other day
Throw down the morning papers And spill my tea I don′t know what′s wrong with me The cups and plates are in a Conspiracy I′m covered in misery
My wife has burned the scrambled eggs The dog just bit my leg My teenage daughter ran away My fine young son has turned out gay And it would be OK on any other day And it would be OK on any other day And it would be OK on any other day
Once that you′ve decided on a killing First you make a stone of your heart And if you find that your hands are still willing Then you can turn a murder into art
There really isn′t need for bloodshed You just do it with a little more finesse If you can slip a tablet into someone′s coffee Then it avoids an awful lot of mess
It′s murder by numbers one two three It′s as easy to learn as your ABC
Now if you have a taste for this experience And you′re flushed with your very first success Then you must try a twosome or a threesome And you′ll find your conscience bothers you much less
Because murder is like anything you take to It′s a habit-forming need for more and more You can bump off every member of your family And anybody else you find a bore
Because it′s murder by numbers one two three It′s as easy to learn as your ABC
Now you can join the ranks of the illustrious In history′s great dark hall of fame All our famous killers were industrious At least the ones that we all know by name
But you can reach the top of your profession If you become the leader of the land For murder is the sport of the elected And you don′t need to lift a finger of your hand
Just a castaway An island lost at sea Another lonely day With no one here but me More loneliness Than any man could bear Rescue me before I fall into despair
I′ll send an SOS to the world I′ll send an SOS to the world I hope that someone gets my Message in a bottle
A year has passed since I wrote my note But I should have known this right from the start Only hope can keep me together Love can mend your life But love can break your heart
I′ll send an SOS to the world I′ll send an SOS to the world I hope that someone gets my Message in a bottle
Walked out this morning Don′t believe what I saw A hundred billion bottles Washed up on the shore Seems I′m not alone at being alone A hundred billion casatways Looking for a home
I′ll send an SOS to the world I′ll send an SOS to the world I hope that someone gets my Message in a bottle
I can′t stand it for another day When you live so many miles away Nothing here is gonna make me stay, You took me over, let me find a way
I sold my house I sold my motor, too All I want is to be next to you I′d rob a bank Maybe steal a plane You took me over, Think I′m goin′ insane
What can I do, All I want is to be next to you
I′ve had a thousand girls or maybe more, But I′ve never felt like this before But I just don′t know what′s come over me, You took me over, take a look at me
What can I do, All I want is to be next to you
So many times I used to give a sign Got this feeling, gonna lose my mind When all it is is just a love affair You took me over baby, take me there
There′s a hole In my life There′s a hole In my life
Shadow in my heart Is tearing me apart Or maybe it′s just something In my stars
There′s a hole In my life There′s a hole In my life
Be a happy man I try the best I can Or maybe I′m just looking For too much
There′s something missing from my life Cuts me open like a knife It leaves me vulnerable I have this disease I shake like an incurable God help me please
O, there′s a hole In my life There′s a hole In my life
The general scratches his belly and thinks His pay is good but his officers stink Guerilla girl, hard and sweet A military man would love to meet
The President looks in the mirror and speaks His shirts are clean but his country reeks Unpaid bills In Afghanistan hills
Bombs away But we′re OK Bombs away In old Bombay
The general only wants to teach France to dance His army life doesn′t give him any romance Guerilla girl, hard and sweet A military man would love to meet
The general scratches his belly and thinks His pay is good but his company stinks Guerilla girl, hard and sweet A military man would love to meet
Giant steps are what you take Walking on the moon I hope my legs don′t break Walking on the moon We could walk forever Walking on the moon We could live together Walking on, walking on the moon
Walking back from your house Walking on the moon Walking back from your house Walking on the moon Feet they hardly touch the ground Walking on the moon My feet don′t hardly make no sound Walking on, walking on the moon
Some may say I′m wishing my days away No way And if it′s the price I pay Some say Tomorrow′s another day You stay I may as well play
Giant steps are what you take Walking on the moon I hope my legs don′t break Walking on the moon We could walk forever Walking on the moon We could be together Walking on, walking on the moon
Some may say I′m wishing my days away No way And if it′s the price I pay Some say Tomorrow′s another day You stay I may as well play
Another suburban family morning Grandmother screaming at the wall
We have to shout above the din of our rice crispies We can′t hear anything at all Mother chants her litany of boredom and frustration But we all know her suicides are fake Daddy only stares into the distance There′s only so much more that he can take Many miles away Something crawls from the slime At the bottom of a dark Scottish lake
Another industrial ugly morning Tha factory belches filth into the sky He walks unhindered through the picket lines today He doesn′t think to wonder why The secretaries pout and preen like cheap tarts in a red light street But all he ever thinks to do is watch And every so called meeting with his so called superior Is a humiliating kick in the crotch Many miles away Something crawls to the surface Of a dark Scottish loch
Another working day has ended Only the rush hour hell to face Packed like lemmings into shiny metal boxes Contestants in a suicidal race Daddy crips the wheel and stares alone into the distance He knows that something somewhere has to break He sees the family home now looming in his headlights The pain upstairs that makes his eyeballs ache Many miles away There′s a shadow on the door Of a cottage on the shore Of a dark Scottish lake
Many miles away Many miles away Many miles away Many miles away Many miles away...
Well someone told me yesterday That when you throw your love away You act as if you just don′t care You look as if you′re going somewhere But I just can′t convince myself I couldn′t live with no one else And I can only play that part And sit and nurse my broken heart
So lonely So lonely So lonely So lonely
Now no one′s knocked upon my door For a thousand years or more All made up and nowhere to go Welcome to this one man show Just take a seat they′re always free No surprise no mystery In this theatre that I call my soul I always play the starring role
I likes to eat my friends and make no bones about it I likes to eat my friends, I couldn′t do without it Ain′t a man or poet, friend, I know just how you′ll taste Your limbs go sliding down my throat and never go to waste
Your death, of course, will sadden me, until I [ ? ] your essence I know your life was not in vain when digestion is commencing Consider this a celebration and the deepest pact of friends And I hope that you will dine on me when I come to an end
(ah....)
Even friends may come to you with a new found revelation But think of it as life renewed and not their termination To know you is to eat you should be the code of lovers Death brings the highest act of love preserved for one another
(ah....)
People say that what you are is only what you eat And my friends become a part of me, oh well it′s then that life′s complete To know you is to eat you, the act of love supreme Each one of us inside himself can appetize the dream
Though it′s me that′s on fire not this cigarette And what do I care if she leaves me alone If I need somebody I′ll pick up the phone I′ll put on my good face, clean up the flat I′m starting all over, good bye to all that Put on some music and pour out a drink I′ll go back to bed and I′ll try not to think
Someone to talk to
She was a person I just couldn′t see And I tried to make her what she couldn′t be I tried and I tried, but of course in the end I drove her crazy and right ′round the bend Now it′s too much to just sit here and cry I can′t be seen with a tear in my eye Why am I standing right next to the phone When I kept on saying I must be alone
Someone to talk to
I love you, why didn′t I say that before I guess that it′s safe now, she′s walked through the door It′s hard when you know that you′ve got to go on Feeling so weak and pretending your strong I didn′t see her, I only felt me And one day I′ll learn just which part of me bleeds Now that she′s gone I know she was great But I fucked it up and now it′s too late
Roxanne You don′t have to put on the red light Those days are over You don′t have to sell your body to the night
Roxanne You don′t have to wear that dress tonight Walk the streets for money You don′t care if it′s wrong or if it′s right
Roxanne You don′t have to put on the red light
I loved you since I knew you I wouldn′t talk down to you I have to tell you just how I feel I won′t share you with another boy I know my mind is made up So put away your make up Told you once I won′t tell you again
It′s a bad way Roxanne You don′t have to put on the red light Roxanne You don′t have to put on the red light
Everyone I know is lonely And God′s so far away And my heart belongs to no one So now sometimes I pray Please take this space between us And fill it up some way Take this space between us And fill it up some way
O my God you take the biscuit Treating me this way Expecting me to treat you well No matter what they say How can I turn the other cheek It′s black and bruised and torn I′ve been waiting Since the day that I was born
Take this space between us And fill it up some way Take this space between us And fill it up some way
The fat man in his garden The thin man at his gate My God you must be sleeping Wake up, it′s much too late
Take this space between us And fill it up some way Take this space between us And fill it up some way
Do I have to tell the story Of a thousand rainy days Since we first met It′s a big enough umbrella But it′s always me that ends up getting wet
