Floating along, hippopotamus hunting The beast gets what he deserves Fall in to bed with the daughters of Jezebel And dream of Athenians There???s a hole in the sky That the birds fly through And I want to fly too Oh I want to fly too There???s a hole in the sky That the birds fly through And I want to fly too Oh I want to fly to ya??? Children get out, out of the buildings Get out of the buildings and into the fields Young faces turn to the sky as the planes appear Future is yesterday, yesterday???s coming There???s a hole in the sky That the birds fly through And I want to fly too Oh I want to fly too There???s a hole in the sky That the birds fly through And I want to fly too Oh I want to fly too Everybody wants to be beautiful Everybody wants to be on their way home There???s a hole in the sky That the birds fly through And I want to fly too Oh I want to fly too There???s a hole in the sky There???s a hole in the sky There???s a hole in the sky
ever try to understand me expectation make me old hide your pennies in the sin? some how I am supposed to know the hardest thing to do let it go and i know we′ve been affected perfected the power to charm did we serve to entertain did we find someone to blame
what I said, what I did we′re not the same
(chorus) oh I am breathing (I am breathing) oh I am leaving in the morning maybe you can think about it when I′m gone
could we lie behind the fables heroes and heroin the wait here is far too much to be worth so little but will she come and stay with me
(chorus)
did we serve to entertain did we find someone to blame was it something in your head was it something in your name? give me something I can hold I can try my best to help you if you never let me down, oh
never try to understand her heroes and heroin are very unforgiving do the things that you think you should to let you know you′re alive you are young you are beautiful
(chorus)
oh I am breathing (I am beathing) oh I am leaving in morning maybe you can think about it when I go
Loaded tongue and dirty fingers Queen of her mother′s house Come step outside feeling full moon high Let′s see what we can live without
Fix an eye to the dimestore villain Waiting for the wine to pour It comes strong and thin and it tastes like sin The love we′ve all been in before
A million ways to burn I′m just looking out of this old broke window And she′s taking a turn I′m looking out of this old broke window And she′s taking a turn
Her body lies like a landscape before you You′re selling your soul by the pound Got snakeoil in spades for the wolftickets trade You look but don′t see me around
A million ways to burn I′m just standing here on this old street corner And she′s taking a turn I′m standing here on this old street corner And she′s taking a turn
"There′s no poetry between us" Said the paper to the pen Something′s burning in the attic That her tongue will not defend Through the arc of conversation Past the teeth behind the smile Down the miracle mile To the bottom of the ladder Paint your eyes and hide the tatters What′s the matter baby? Could we go downtown To the middle of the world? You were always such a pretty girl And you told me I was beautiful "There′s no poetry between us" Said the paper to the pen "And I get nothing for my trouble But the ink beneath my skin" If your clothes are getting weary And your soul′s gone out of style Blame the miracle mile And the bottom of the ladder Paint your eyes and hide the tatters What′s the matter baby? ...I′m coming too

Feet on the dashboard Head on the window Moon on a desert tree I will, I will I will stand in your light again Heard me a memory Out on the avenue Where people get What they think they need Sound of a symphony Up from the gutter The tattooed confessions Of my last good deed I will, I will I will sing you the road song blues Someday I will sing you the road song blues Free are the lonely ones And lonely is as lonely does Far away from the warm street lights I never shine like the way they shine Maybe one day but tonight It???s another bed and another TV In another hotel room I will, I will I will sleep by your side again I will, I will I will sing you the road song blues I will, I will I will sing you the road song blues Someday I will sing you the road song blues
From the air the fields over Dublin Look like a watercolor When the streets rise up to meet the plane Nobody notices That I miss your face More than anything in the world I miss your face More than anything in the world Whiskey for everybody To us and to all we left behind A beautiful morning You???ve got someplace to be So if you have to go Be sure and think of me ???Cause I miss your face More than anything in the world And I miss your face More than anything in the world Whiskey for everybody Whisper the words before you???re out the door again I believe that you were right The seas are full and stars are falling I believe that you were right We were so young when we left home From the fields the air over Dublin Looks like a watercolor And even in empty arms I feel the weight of you Oh I miss your face More than anything in the world And I miss your face More than anything Whiskey for everybody To us and to all we left behind when we left home
There′s no fortune to be made here, It′s just a town like any other town. Sure there must be good things left to say Can′t think of one, so... I won′t say,
nothing...
Wears a pretty face and armor She got shine at the surface and coal below, nothing... Please don′t tell me, I already know, ...nothing
Living like a mobile spinnig off its line Fed up of always sad about the wheels-within-wheels Tension rising higher, it′s coming through my window And all I seem to feel...
is nothing... Please don′t tell me, I already know nothing... Oh, it′s getting better now But time will show
Nothing - never goes away Nothing - never goes away
Tonight I saw her again A blood red luna (looner?) sitting on the bridge It could have been a sign but I don′t believe in signs, I... don′t believe in...
Nothing... Please don′t tell me, I already know ...nothing
Oh, it′s getting easier But time will show ...nothing
She′s got a brand new set of reasons Why she can′t let it go
The rattlesnakes and fireflies Are stranded at the border between you and me And the static on the radio Is preaching to the children of infinity We stay up late to speak in tongues And redefine the boundaries of sanity Swaying to the sound of ???Sister Ray??? But we never knew how vulnerable we were Andalucia I know you???ve been around You???re crazy girl Andalucia your hands are on the wheel But you???re slipping The greener grass we traded For the mysteries of skinny hips and confidence And the literary casualties were cool Because souls are hewn from vowels and consonants Stabbed in the eyes by the spectacle of ???Up the Beach??? And we never knew how vulnerable we were No we never knew that Things get battered Things get shaken Things get tattered And things forsaken Things get spent And things get spoken Things get bent And things get broken Andalucia I know you???ve been around You???re crazy girl Andalucia I know you???ve been around You???re crazy girl Andalucia your hands are on the wheel But you???re slipping, you???re slipping Andalucia I know you???ve been around You???re crazy girl
Boy when out on a boat tonight Waiting on his lover Seen his mermaid bride in the moonlight And the arms of another She said "standing on the water is easier to do Then to try and be a family living here with you And the more I′ve been thinking The more I know I′m living alone
Now they see him out on the waterways Rolling on the foam Only memory for a future Only ocean for a home ′Cause Amelia′s the name that she calls herself these days And "birds! birds!" is all we heard before she flew away And the more I′ve been thinking The more I know I′m living alone
All around me are familiar faces Worn out places, worn out faces Bright and early for the daily races Going no where, going no where Their tears are filling up their glasses No expression, no expression Hide my head I wanna drown my sorrow No tomorrow, no tomorrow
And I find it kind of funny I find it kind of sad The dreams in which I’m dying Are the best I’ve ever had I find it hard to tell you I find it hard to take When people run in circles its a very very Mad world, mad world
Children waiting for the day They feel good Happy birthday, happy birthday And I feel the way that every child should Sit and listen, sit and listen Went to school and I was very nervous No one knew me, no one knew me Hello teacher tell me what’s my lesson Look right through me, look right through me
And I find it kind of funny I find it kind of sad The dreams in which I’m dying Are the best I’ve ever had I find it hard to tell you I find it hard to take When people run in circles its a very very Mad world, mad world Enlarging your world Mad world
