Planet Helpless

Devastation in slow motion on a wing and a prayer

Big, big city colours, small people despair
It's just an analgesic love song but it's wearing me out
All you disenfranchised children it's time to come out

And it feels like I'm home again
And it feels like we've got to shelter from the rain

You say that you can, but I'm more of a man
You can't hold me down
You say that you will, but I still got the will
You can't hold me down

And if everybody's mobile, why don't nobody move?
Just your Intel, hard-sell lifestyle disrupting your groove
I got a face down ball gown angel
I wish she were mine
And this analgesic love song that makes me drive blind

And it feels like I'm home again
And it feels like we've got to shelter from the rain

You say that you can, but I'm more of a man
You can't hold me down
You say that you will, but you can't break my will
You can't hold me down
You say that you can, but I'm more of a man
You can't hold me down
No, No
No, No

Everyday I wake up I see footprints on the ceiling,

didn't realise they came from me
All we ever wanted here was something to believe in
Heaven's closed down, Mecca's obsolete
Well it's a hallelujah day and I'm a Walther P.P.K.

If I told you my story, man you wouldn't believe it
'cos the things I've seen and do are hard to percieve
And so I'll stop my talking now and draw back the curtain
Only thing you're finding out
Nothing's for certain. Nothing's for certain
Watching my head go round
She's watching my head go round
She's watching my head
Watching my head go round

It can't be that easy sharing someone with a demon
Go and find yourself out on the street
No smoke without fire they say,
now Adam's burning Eden
Nothing ever turns out like it seems
Well it's a Hallelujah day, and I'm a Walther P.P.K.

If I told you my story, man you wouldn't believe it
'cos the things I've seen and done are hard to percieve
And so I'll stop my talking now and draw back the curtain
Only thing your finding out
Nothing's for certain
Nothing's for certain

Watching my head go round

With our heads to the side nobody

quite knows where they are
A trio of lies, trying to knock you
off your guard

With our heads to the side
With our heads to the side

You give me criminal ways in a
subliminal haze
Ironstone Izadora's the name

Got the mark of Cain I hang on
a chain around my neck
I'll say it again, pleasure or pain
what's coming next?

Move your head to the side
Move your head to the side

You give me criminal ways
in a subliminal haze

Ironstone Izadora's my name
Ironstone Izadora's my name

Tell me why she tells those lies
when she lies with you?
Tell me why its no surprise
when nothing is true?

Well I know there is something about you girl

Though they say that nobody can change the world
In your eyes there's a smile
There's a soothing camomile
Makes it feel worth my while,
waiting for you girl

You move me
You move me
You move...

I must say I was smitten so long ago
I got caught pulled right down by your undertow
Just like the stars always shine
Just like them you can't be mine
Sing a sad Valentine all about you girl

You move me
You move me
You move...

I know it's time to stop believing
every part of me is wrong
I know it's time to start believing
'cos I need to carry on
Without you girl

You move me
You move me
You move me

Found a little piece of nothing and I clung on.

Because even nothing feels like something
when something's gone

It's summertime, on the planet helpless
You gotta save yourself,
don't wanna scarlet necklace

Say what you mean
Mean what you say
Say what you feel
Feel what you say

Found the head of a marble angel,
down Sadness Glade
For the sins of my long-gone fore-fathers,
I've surely paid

Your eyes are blue, they're just like Minton china
Keep doing what you do
And you'll be non the wiser

Say what you mean
Mean what you say
Say what you feel
Feel what you say

You think that you can make

things easy on yourself
But in truth you make them harder everyday.
Full well I know your folly
Full well you'll guess my aim

If I could be the one you sometimes turn to
in times of need with your heavy regret
I know that I would triumph
I know that I would stay

Don't wanna walk through the eye
of any needle
Don't wanna watch the sand just fade
to grey
Full well I know my schisms
Full well you'll guess my own

Take, what you want, 'cos this ship's going down

Fate, let it run, even though she's not around

You can feel the warmth coming from her face
For someone else trying to take your place
And you know she's almost gotten over you
There's a secret world where you try and hide
You wanna live but your dead inside
'cos you know she's almost gotten over you

Your remembering that smile the last look in her eyes
Your heart beats like a hummingbird's

You created, she destroyed
The thing that you enjoyed
You don't believe another world

You can feel the warmth coming from her face
For someone else trying to take your place
And you know she's almost gotten over you
There's a secret world where you try and hide
You wanna live but your dead inside
Now your trying to make your paracosm's true
