Can you see us now we're on our own
And every chance has just come and just gone
Now it looks so dark and so cold
Think of the minds we sold
We'd better speak now
We'd better speak now
We'd better speak now
We'd better speak now
I can remember things that looked so bright
And i could talk to you without all this spite
Can you picture all that's past
Does your face deform so fast
We'd better speak now
We'd better speak now
We'd better speak now
We'd better speak now
`cause when i stop and look into your head
I think of all the things that you said
When i look up into your eyes
I see the creature that i despise
Kill now
Kill now
Kill now
Kill now
Can you see us now we're on our own
And every chance has just come and gone
I've been wrong but you've been unkind
There's so much more that i can't find
Wasteland
Wasteland
Wasteland...

I see them walking
You know they're walking at night
Ohh in the dark you know
They're shining out so bright
Your sarky voices are gonna come on so near
As every picture becomes so clear
You
You come on so sharp
Yet be so nice
Tell me that you're so hot
But you're as cold as ice
There is no cure
You're so blind can't you see?
There is no cure
Can't buy no immunity
There is no cure
So keep your evil from me
There is no cure.
They like to stay
Ooh come on
Come on and stay up so late
You gonna talk of all the things you just wanna hate
You wanna come on
Come on
And make me so mad
Inside your heart
I know it feels so bad
You
You come on so sharp
Yet be so nice
Tell me that you're so hot
But you're as cold as ice
There is no cure
You're so blind can't you see?
There is no cure
Can't buy immunity
There is no cure
So keep your evil from me
There is no cure
Come on and do it
Just what to do it
They're going to do it
Just want to do it
There is no cure...

And now the sound of time is getting fast
It's getting late
Don't know if i can take much more
The way you talk i often wondered
If i heard the words somewhere
Someplace before
I got so nervous when i called
And found that lately
You had gone and changed your name
But i've got something on my mind
I want you here
I want you now
You better explain
Is it true you're running round
Now is it true they're calling you
The chelsea girl
Is it true you're running round
Now is it true they're calling you
The chelsea girl
Your best friend never calls you up
But you don't mind
'cause lately things are all the same
Ain't it strange how peope always seem
To know your face
But just don't know your name
Well i don't care there's no-one there
That even turn around and say get out of this place
Last night i saw a shooting star
When morning comes
She hides away
A real disgrace
Is it true you're running round
Now is it true they're calling you
The chelsea girl
Is it true you're running round
Now is it true they're calling you
The chelsea girl
Oh chelsea girl
You got me caught up in a whirl
I want you here now chelsea girl

Black lines call out from his face
Oh his heart beats staccato pace
She says he's not killing time
I just don't want him for no friend of mine
Meanwhile susan goes out all alone
So many reasons but they're not all her own
Bend till you break
Scream if you must
Someone's in her room
Someone she don't trust
Can you see me i'm in the lukewarm rain
Try so very hard
You know i just can't explain
Think of a colour
Tell me what you see
That colour's red
You can take it from me
Take it from me
Take it from me
I've seen the streetlights
Shine on the underground
I've heard the dead fight
When there's no other sound
I've seen the streetlights
Shine on the underground
I've heard the dead fight
When there's no other sound
