You never look up You never look back You never say anything based on fact You′ve got issues going way back You never say ′hi′ You never say much You never make an effort to stay in touch I′ve got this feeling something happened here Something happened here
Did anybody feel you? Did anybody deal you? Did anybody make you do some things now? Did anyone approach you? Did anybody coach you? Did anybody tell you what to say now? Hopeless - it′s not hopeless Doubtful - but not hopeless at all
You never looked up You never look back You never did anything in between Are things black and white with you You never believed You never belonged Never made milestones to call your own I′ve got this feeling something happened here Something happened here
Did anybody hide you? Did anybody fight you? Did anyone decide to do some harm now? Did anybody read you? Did anybody bleed you? Did anybody feed you lots of junk now? Hopeless - it′s not hopeless Doubtful - but not hopeless Hopeless - it′s not hopeless Doubtful - but not hopeless at all Hopeless - it′s not hopeless Doubtful - but not hopeless at all
I′ve fixed my dwelling for the night Lights in pairs come passing by where I hide I need some time now on my own Leave my loneliness alone To lick my wounds Night has found me just in time to help me close my eyes one more time
Living a boy′s adventure tale In so many ways Living a boy′s adventure tale For so many days I′m living a boy′s adventure tale Can′t escape, if I wanted to Living a boy′s adventure tale I may be dreaming but I feel awake
I′ve been lost in so many places Seeked love in so many faces A change of weather, the rain pours down My head in hands, pressed to the ground And where am I supposed to go now
Living a boy′s adventure tale In so many ways Living a boy′s adventure tale (aah) Living a boy′s adventure tale a voice I hear Living a boy′s adventure tale Singing a lullaby for me Living a boy′s adventure tale Because of you Living a boy′s adventure Oh you know it′s true Living a boy′s adventure tale In so many ways (aah) For so many days I love you. I love you So many ways
You′ll end up crying With your mother′s eyes Pretend you can′t see yourself Could have been better Could have been worse You could have been yourself
Brought up in mom′s arms Nowhere to fall Now you′re out climbing Taking it all
You′ll end up crying With your mother′s eyes Suffer that moment′s pain Could have done better Could have done worse Lost in your love for more
Now you′re out climbing And you should know You′ll end up crying Wherever you may go
Brought up in mom′s arms Nowhere to fall Now you′re out climbing Climbing to fall
You′ll end up crying With your mother′s eyes Something is lost from the start Could have been better Could have been worse You′re going to need me there
Don′t know how it got away from me Don′t know how I let things go, you see Don′t know why it took a sudden turn Didn′t seem to be a big concern And everything is all too much Hot and bothered, you′re cool to the touch And everyone is worlds apart It must have been this way from the start
When there′s nothing here to save the day Then we have to say There′s a reason for it When there′s nothing left for us to do You′re left without a clue There′s a reason for it
Don′t know how it got away from me Don′t know how I let things go, you see Don′t know why it took a sudden turn Didn′t seem to be a big concern And everyone is all too well All well-adjusted people Can′t you tell? And everything is all too fast Just add water Nothing′s built to last
When your colleagues can′t recall your name Time and time again There′s a reason for it When your name′s the butt of every joke Just about to croak T here′s a reason for it And everyone is worlds apart It must have been this way from the start When there′s nothing here to save the day Then we have to say There′s a reason for it When there′s nothing left for us to do You′re left without a clue There′s a reason for it There′s a reason for it There′s a reason for it There′s a reason for it
One left low left two who left high They seem so hard to find Three came twice took once the time To search... We′re looking for a little bewildered girl We′re looking for a little bewildered girl We′re looking for the whales
Restlessness is in our genes Time won′t wear it off Born into this world with our eyes wide open
Girl We′re looking for a little bewildered girl We′re looking for a little bewildered girl We′re looking for the whales
I found angels Beached outside your doors Don′t you set those lonely eyes on me We′re looking for the whales We′re looking for the whales...
It wasn′t the rain that washed away... Rinsed out the colours of your eyes Putting the gun down on the bedside table I must have realized
It wasn′t the rain That made no difference And I could have sworn it wasn′t me Yet I did it all so coldly ...almost slowly Plain for all to see
Oh c′mon please now Talk to me Tell me; things I could find helpful How can I stop now... Is there nothing I can do I have lost my way I′ve been losing you
I can still hear our screams competing You′re hissing your s′s like a snake Now in the mirror stands Half a man I thought no one could break
It wasn′t the rain That made no difference ...nervously drumming on:Run away But I want the guilt to get me Thoughts to wreck me Preying on my mind
So, please now Talk to me Tell me; things I could find helpful For how can I stop now... Is there nothing I can do I have lost my way I′ve been losing you
To hold me closer or set me free To trust completely or let it be You don′t know my destiny You can′t see what I can see
Hey - I wish I cared Hey - I wish I cared
To love me truely or let me go Inbetween I don′t want to know This is how it has to be No more us and no more we
Hey - I wish I cared Hey - I wish I cared
Once again, on the station See your face in a crowd Comes again the sensation You can′t hear yourself think With their voices inside your head
Hey - I wish I cared Hey - I wish I cared I wish I cared Yes I really do I wish I cared (Hey) I wish I cared Yes I really do I wish I cared (Hey) I wish I cared I wish I cared (Hey)
Can you see me baby Standing in the light I feel your cat′s eyes on me Faster in the night I move inside Got those eyes Something′s burning baby That′s alright You and I Here tonight
Meet me on the other side ′Cause you can do me right Take me where I cannot hide ′Cause you can do me right Meet me on the other side You don′t know me girl I′m faceless in the crowd The things I could show you baby Come on, come onto my cloud I′m alive tonight Something′s falling baby You and I Out of the sky I can see it in your eyes
Meet me on the other side ′Cause you can do me right Take me where I cannot hide ′Cause you can do me right You need, baby, you′re alive ′Cause you can do me right Take me to the other side ′Cause you can do me right Meet me on the other side
Mary cries out: "for the love of God" As she′s walking out of the laundromat Down the street and it′s the short way home Feeling special cause she′s so alone
But we know: (The world′s full of lonely people) And it shows (The world′s full of lonely people)
She shrugs her coat off and unlocks the door Eats her dinner on the kitchen floor Writes a poem and turns the radio on Every singer sings the same old song
And it goes: (The world′s full of lonely people) And it shows (The world′s full of lonely people)
But when we she wanted me to go She just had to let it show To bring me down if she wanted me to leave She just wore it on her sleeve But at least, I was around
But when we she wanted me to go She just had to let it show To bring me down if she wanted me to leave She just wore it on her sleeve At least, I was around
Mary Ellen makes the moment count As she′s looking through old photographs Pictures taken from an early age Faces look back at her from the page And they say
(The world′s full of lonely people) It′s ok (The world′s full of lonely people) It′s ok (The world′s full of lonely people)
But when we she wanted me to go She just had to let it show To bring me down if she wanted me to leave She just wore it on her sleeve But at least, I was around I was around I was around I was around
And you say you wanna run You′re not the only one Not the only one
You will never get over me I′ll never got under you Whenever our voices speak It′s never our minds that meet
You will never get over me I′ll never got under you Whenever our voices speak It′s never our minds that meet
You say you want some You′re not the only one Not the only one
And you, you say you′ve come undone You′re not the only one Not the only one You will never get over me I′ll never got under you Whenever our voices speak It′s never our minds that meet
You′ll never get over me I′ll never got under you Whenever our voices speak It′s never our minds that meet
You′ll never get over me You′ll never get over me You′ll never get over me
You will never get over me I′ll never got under you Whenever our voices speak It′s never our minds that meet
You′ll never get over me I′ll never got under you Whenever our voices speak It′s never our minds that meet
Walking by strangers Stranger than me We talk of the future Between you and me Sweet little darling Where will we be Sweet little darling Where will we be It′s hard to conceive it All comes to an end A joke when it′s funny, well... I laugh and pretend We′re fools to believe it We′re fools to try
I took a ride in an automobile Pushed my hands out against the wheel
Asked a girl if she needed a ride She said, "Sure, babe, but I wanna drive"
Hey now, wait awhile We′re going down with a smile Cold river - she took me down Cold river - she took my pride
River runs so deep It runs so deep It runs so deep
Had to stop on account of the storm Seemed like years since I′d been warm
We drove all night till the tires blew Got in the back and did what you do
Hey now, wait awhile We′re going down with a smile Cold river -- she took me down Cold river -- she took my pride On a sunny day On a sunny day (She took my pride) All the money you made Did you need it, babe
He likes to have the morning paper′s Crossword solved Words go up words come down Forwards backwards twisted round He grabs a pile of letters from a small suitcase Disappears into an office It′s another working day
And his thoughts are full of strangers Corridors of naked lights And his mind once full of reason Now there′s more than meets the eye Oh, a stranger′s face he carries with him
He likes a bit of reading on the subway home A distant radio whistling tunes that nobody knows At home a house awaits him, He unlocks the door Thinking once there was a sea here But there never was a door
And his thoughts are full of strangers And his eyes to numb to see And nothing that he knows of And nowhere where he′s been Was ever quite like this And his thoughts...
And at heart He′s full of strangers Dodging on his train of thought Train of thought
There′s a big, black picture and it′s hanging on the wall. With stars and all the planets, the milky way and all. And in the left hand corner, perhaps a small white dwarf, Ready to explode, implode I really can′t recall
But it′s out there, and I′m down here. And so far from it all
Everything′s expanding in a constant state of change. Everything′s demanding in a constant state of pain. You radiate away. Your last remaining heat Your atmosphere has blown away when you admit defeat
But its out there (pal - don′t know where we are) And I′m down here (pal - don′t know why we are) And so far from it all
Your time, your grace, your story in place, your life-span erased
There′s a big, black picture and its hanging off your wall The stars and all the planets, the milky way and all And in the left hand corner, perhaps a small white dwarf, Ready to explode, implode I really can′t recall.
But its out there (pal - don′t know where we are) And I′m down here (pal-don′t know why we are) And so far from it all. But I′m out here (pal - don′t know where we are) Down here (pal - don′t know why we are) I′m so far from it all...
Hey, beautiful farm on the top of the hill Whenever I pass by I′m thinking I will Find someone like you Goodbye avenue And then I′ll be yearning for this too
Over the treetops fly Birds in the sky Over the treetops high High in the sky
Stop calling her restless She moves in the sun Gets out of the bed past noon Closer to one I follow her mind I follow her blind She leaves and I′m two steps behind
Over the treetops fly Birds in the sky Over the treetops high High in the sky
A trip is a fall To fall is to trip
She changes how she feels About things, that′s okay It works for me I think I like it that way No thing is true Some thing is false Address the child as a whole
Over the treetops fly Birds in the sky Over the treetops high High in the sky
There′s nothing you can say To make me change my mind It happens all the time Just let the plot unwind
As we look back and see Our yesterdays entwine The beauty and the truth The summers of our youth
And you can go there anytime The movies on your mind And you can see it clearly Where we overstepped the line
What are you gonna do when lights go out What are you gonna think it′s all about What are you gonna do when time is up What are you gonna do to make it change the way you feel?
Our life′s a precious gift You′ve felt it once or twice How everything comes once But once a million times
But you can find it anywhere You know I speak the truth I wish there was a way back to The summers of our youth
What are you gonna do when time is up What are you gonna do to make it stop What are you gonna do when lights go out What are you gonna think it′s all..... think it′s all about
Dream my self alive I dream my self alive But you can′t deny There′s something dark Against the light All i can say It doesn′t have to be this way We′ll be chasing our tails madly See days pass like wildfire Right from the start I knew this world would break my heart
I dream my self alive Dream my self alive I dream my self alive Break my heart And dream my self alive What can it mean
I′m drawing pictures of the sea Right from the start I knew this girl would break my heart
Dream my self alive Dream my self alive I dream my self alive Dream my self alive Dream my self alive I dream my self alive
We′re going to go downtown I hear this great new place has opened up And when we get there I don′t know It′s taken ages Don′t you know
How long how long Will this go on How long how long Time drags on How long I find I can′t go on much longer now
But the place in question′s hard to find Not a cab ride to the door As you wonder in your doubtful mind Is it really worth all that and more
We seem to be a little lost or something I′m not really sure about the choice we′re making The toil it′s taking on
How long how long Will this go on How long how long The time drags on How long I find I can′t go on much longer now
But the place in question′s hard to find Like an illness with no cure And our heads are getting wearier And our hearts are less than pure Less than pure
How long I find I can′t go on much longer now
And the place in question′s hard to find Not a cab ride to the door And our heads are getting wearier And our hearts are less than pure
Donna found us in her slow and dreamy way I can′t hear a word the waiter says She′s looking older now... The color of her hair She walks into the room and pleased to find me there
Me I′m touchy - Touchy you Me I′m touchy And you know what to do Me I′m touchy Touchy, touchy you Me I′m touchy and you know what to do
Both of us together in a room by ourselves I sneeze to look around, but there′s no escape What can I do, what can I say She′s waiting for this moment to explain itself
Me I′m touchy - Touchy you Me I′m touchy And you know what to do Me I′m touchy Touchy, touchy you Touching love is the best I can do Hey, this time you′ve gone too far You know how touchy we are
Donna found me in her slow and dreamy way Now she reads me what the papers say The way she laughs at what I do I′m waiting for this moment to explain itself through
I used to be so sensible on my own Now I′m so sensitive it′s a joke I′m getting by on decibels like a drug And greet every brand New day with a shrug
I′m barely hanging on
I used to be so comfortable in a suit Almost presentable next to you I used to be so confident in a crowd Now I can′t say my own name aloud
I′m barely hanging on
And now I guess you′re Wondering why We never could see eye to eye Oh but never mind And now I guess it′s hard to see What has gotten into me Oh but never mind
Hey listen honey Something you should know This can′t wait I′ve been meaning to tell you A long time ago And today′s that day I′ll put it straight No, it just can′t wait
Oh sure, it took a little time I know that′s true But this business Been preying on my mind Since I met you The thing is babe,
Between your mama and yourself Forced to choose and without help With a margin, you know it′s true The one I love Well, it′s eh...prpbably you
C′mon now, stay a little while Before you go This thing, it′s been preying on my mind But even so This I know
Between your mama and yourself Forced to choose and without help With a margin, you know it′s true The one I love Well, it′s eh...prpbably you
You′ve got to know It′s got to show Yeah, I′ve got to let her go
Halfway through the tour We′ll be somewhere else tomorrow Halfway through the tour We′ll be somewhere else tomorrow And you know I can′t do much more (I can′t wish for more) Than walking out that door And make for home tomorrow Halfway through the tour
Halfway through the tour Houses set back from the road Halfway through the tour Across a dry expanse we go And you know I can′t do much more (I can′t wish for more) Than walking out that door And make for home tomorrow Halfway through the door
But when the crowd engage And takes you to a place That you now Everyone can be a part of Everyone can be a part of it
Halfway through the tour While there′s money to be made Halfway through the tour From the public eye we fade And you know Across a dry expanse We′re flying by the seat of our pants We′ll be somewhere else tomorrow
Halfway through the tour I can′t do much more Than make for home tomorrow
Help me I need your love Don′t walk away The dark scares me so We′re nothing apart Let′s stay friends forever forever
Here i stand and face the rain I know that nothing′s gonna be the same again I fear for what tomorrow brings
Trust me For whom i am Place all your faith Into these hands I got nothing to say But let′s stay friends forever forever
Here i stand and face the rain I know that nothing′s gonna be the same again I fear for what tomorrow brings Here i stand and face the rain I know that nothing′s gonna be the same again I fear for what tomorrow brings Here i stand and face the rain Knowing nothing′s gonna be the same again Ahhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaa Ahhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaa ... Here i stand and face the rain Knowing nothing′s gonna be the same again
Take a moment if you dare Catch yourself a breath of air There′s another life out there And you should try it
Dead ends hide on every street Look before you place your feet Cracks and fissures keep the beat And you′re inside it
Every thought you never dared to think Every mood you always knew would sink Every line you spoke out loud in a jest All the time you took to be your best Soon forgotten
The sun must never touch your skin It could expose the dark within You′re paranoid about the paranoia
And panic hits without a sign You worry about it all the time Every perfect moment is a hidden warning
Cuz everything makes your pretty head spin And nagging thoughts are starting to sink in With everything this way it′s better to forget Than end up in a place with something to regret
Your transatlantic shopping spree Your health forever guarantees Organic -bio-life′s a breeze in cosy prisons
But hiding out in a salad bar Isn′t gonna get you far and bottled wine is vinegar tomorrow
Everything around here makes your pretty head spin Its piling up high and you′re back where you begin Moments you have tried so hard to forget Are promising to ′ve been the best one′s yet
Everytime you shut your eyes it appears Everytime you trace your steps back here None of your convictions have the same old ring No doubt you found a place for everything In cosy prisons
So if you′re careful You won′t get hurt But if your careful all the time Then what′s it worth?
The sun brought me The moon caught me The wind fought me The rain got me The road sent me For years bent me The stars overwhelmed me Time and again
But now I can′t see the stars The star is a thing I can′t see And now I don′t feel the same To feel is a thing I can′t be
Earth crushed me Fame brushed me The streets hushed me As life touched me Time placed me Events dazed me Love saved me Now and again
But now there can be no love Love is a thing I can′t be And there can be no trust Trust is a thing I can′t see But now there can be no love Love is a thing that can′t be Now I can′t be so strong Strong is a thing I can′t be Time and again Time and again
Half of a letter Tells half a story The way I see it It′s half the worry Where I came from I forgot too soon... East of the sun And west of the moon
Money talks And hey, I′m listening I′ve lived without it Enough to miss it Where I′m going I′ll get there soon East of the sun And west of the moon
Ooh, never gonna get there later You know, I wanna get there soon Never gonna get there, baby On a desert road to home East of the sun And west of the moon
Another day leaves me aching I try to wake up But something′s breaking Here inside me Deep and hollow A sound that no other sound could follow I know the pain Before the wound East of the sun And west of the moon
Turn the lights on the night is too long Keep yourself warm I′m coming home I cannot help you, you yourself must see Decide now on what you want to be Turn the lights down The lights are too strong When you′re down and out just hold on Realize that nothing lasts long We must believe in things we cannot see Everything′s alright with me Turn the lights down The lights are too strong I′m coming home
I just want to sleep by your side It makes me feel so alive I just want to sleep for a while
Turn around the night is still young Keep your lights on I′m coming home You must decide now where you want to be You′re the one who said to me Realize that nothing lasts long I′m coming home I just want to sleep by your side It makes me feel so alive
So easy to look at the (??) Hard to (??) when you care Impossible now to go back to where we began
I just want to sleep by your side It makes me feel so alive I just want to sleep by your side I just want to sleep through the night
Oranges on apple trees Birds that mate with bumblebees Oranges on apple trees Water comes and water goes Where it ends up no one really knows Water rises, water falls Where it comes from no one knows for sure It seeps from every pore
We have seen the rain before Not like this - It′s flooding every shore People come and people go I can hear their laughter through the door But no one′s keeping score Oranges on apple trees Birds that mate with bumblebees One big happy family Endless possibilities (yeah and more)
Oranges and apple trees I see your face in front of me Can′t believe what no one else could see I feel it deep inside of me Everything we love shall be released And everyone will see Oranges on apple trees (for sure)
I used to be the only one Not now since you′ve come You and I have seen the signs That′s why the wind died The wind died
That′s why Oranges on apple trees Birds that mate with bumblebees Endless possibilities (now) Oranges on apple trees All the things that we can see Multi-gender wannabes Oranges on apple trees Birds that mate with bumblebees One big happy family Endless possibilities (yeah yeah yeah) Oranges on apple trees (for sure)
Give it up for rock′n roll Give it up for rock Give it up for how it made you feel
Give it up for vinyl days Kicking back from school Turning out to make it real sweet
Give it up for rock′nroll Give it up for bob Give it up for how it made you see
Give it up for silvertone Give it up for golden Adolescent daydreams
Incidental incidents Instrumental instruments A plan evolves too grand to entertain
Monumental monuments Sentimental sentiments You could′ve been the keeper of the flame
Incidental incidents Instrumental instruments Swallowed by the place from which you came
Monumental monuments Sentimental sentiments You should′ve been the keeper of the flame
Give it up for summer days Laying in the grass Everything is happening in your head You raise your fist up in the air Clench your teeth and say Four more years and I′m outa here
Give it up Give it up Give it up Four more years and I am outa here!
Spring was never waiting for us dear It ran one step ahead As we followed in the dance
MacArthur′s Park is melting in the dark All the sweet, green icing flowing down Someone left the cake out in the rain I don′t think that I can take it ′cause it took so long to bake it And I′ll never have that recipe again Oh, nooooo
I recall the yellow cotton dress Foaming like a wave On the ground beneath your knees The birds like tender babies in your hands And the old men playing chinese checkers by the trees
MacArthur′s Park is melting in the dark All the sweet green icing flowing down Someone left the cake out in the rain I don′t think that I can take it ′Cause it took so long to bake it And I′ll never have that recipe again Oh, nooooo
[Instrumental Interlude]
MacArthur′s Park is melting in the dark All the sweet green icing flowing down Someone left my cake out in the rain I don′t think that I can take it ′Cause it took so long to make it And I′ll never have that recipe again Oh, nooooo
