Breach

Maybe i could be the one they adore
That could be my reputation
It's where i'm from that lets them think i'm a whore
I'm an educated virgin

Sleepwalker, don't be shy
Now don't open your eyes tonight
You'll be the one that defends my life
While i'm dead asleep dreamin'

Cupid, don't draw back your bow
Sam cooke didn't know what i know
I'll never be your valentine
The sleepwalker in me
And god only know that i've tried

Let me in, let me drown or learn how to swim
Just don't leave me at the window
I could be the one to be your next best friend
You may need someone to hold you

Sleepwalker, take this knife
You may see someone tonight
You'd be the one that saves my life
When i'm dead asleep dreamin'

Cupid, don't draw back your bow
Sam cooke didn't know what i know
I'll never be your valentine
The sleepwalker in me
And god only know that i've tried

I'm in your movie and everyone looks sad
But i can hear you, your voice, the laughtrack
But you never saw my best scene
The one where i sleep
Sleepwalk into your dreams

Now, sleepwalker, what's my line
It's only a matter of time
Until i learn to open up my eyes
When i'm dead asleep dreamin'

Cupid, don't draw back your bow
Sam cooke didn't know what i know
I'll never be your valentine
The sleepwalker in me

Now, the sleepwalker in me
Now, the sleepwalker in me
And god only know that i've tried

i'm standing outside your window, babe
There you are
Another year, another candle's burning
For the party girl
No one even knows that you're there
Happy birthday, no one cares

You come around here
You better bring a witness
Everyone in here's on the guest list
Oh no doll, you won't be missed
Keep one eye open while you kiss

Your wishes won't be coming true this year
Now darling, don't you cry
We're gonna teach you everything
You'll learn to get by
Lesson number one,
Homicide... is emotional
Murder's no crime

You come around here
You better bring a witness
Everyone in here's on the guest list
Oh no doll, you won't be missed
Keep one eye open while you kiss

Now sticks and stones, baby, break your bones
But the names in here can kill
We'd let you leave, but no one else wants you
Your ransom was not made
Now, you ain't gotta stand up tall
But, now, baby, you must stand up

You come around here
You better bring a witness
Everyone in here's on the guest list
Now we've never been so impressed
Keep one eye open while
While you kiss

You won't ever
Amount to much
You won't be anyone
Now tell me what you are thinking of
How could think you would be enough
It's not that you've stayed too long
It's not that you've done something wrong
It's not your fault
that you embarrass us all

Cuz you're a Hand me down
It's better when you're not around
You feel good
And you look like you should
But you will never make us proud

You've been used by a army of kings
You've been touched by the lips of a queen
Now we've all made good use of you
But you won't be needed again
So don't you move and let someone else in
Make some room for a new harlequin
Cuz you never know when
you'll disappoint us again

Hand me down
It's better when you're not around
You feel good
And you look like you should
But you won't ever make us proud

Hand me down
It's better when you're not around
You feel good
And you look like you should
But you could never make us proud
Hand me down

So look at you with your worn out shoes
Livin' proof evolution's through
We're stuck with you
This revolution's doomed

Hand me down
It's better when you're not around
You feel good
And you look like you should
But you could never make us proud

Hand me down
It's better when you're not around
You feel good
And you look like you should
But you won't ever make us proud

Mama don't 'you send me no love this month
'cause my heart is all used up
And mama i wanna come home
I wanna get back home

So look out into the morning rain
'cause i'm on the mourning train

I'm bringing down my suitcase now
I'm shining up my good shoes brown
'cause no-one knows my name
Now, no-one knows my name
So look out into the morning rain
'cause i'm on the mourning train

Mama look at me now
Oh how i wish
You were around
So many friends i wish
I had right now

Mister you can't hurt me now
You've got my girl, i still don't know how
But it don't matter now
No it don't matter now
So look out into the morning rain
'cause i'm on,
I'm already on
The mourning train

I could break free from the
Wood of a coffin
If i need
But nothin's hard as
Gettin' free from places
I've already been

I've been waste-deep
In the burnin' meadows
Of my mind
In the engine
In cold december
Shootin' fire from the hose

Now turn off your lights
'cause i'm not comin' home
'til i'm delivered for the first time

I was first-born to a parade
That follows in rows
Down a narrow cold black river
Faceless shadows
Movin' slow

I would move swift when
The sounds of a trumpet would blow
I've been the puppet
I've been the strings
I know the vacant face it brings

Now the bells of curfew
They may ring before i'm through
But soon
I'll be delivered for the first time

You might keep clean
In the back of an angel motorcade
It doesn't matter who walks in
You know, the joke is still the same
You'll just wake up
Like a disposable lover
Decomposed
I've been gone
I've been remembered
I've been alive
I've been a ghost

So now, if downtown explodes
I'll still be on this road
'til i'm delivered for the first time

I have drawn blood
From the neckline
When vampires were in fashion
You know i'd even learn
To cut my throat
If i thought i could fit in

'cause i, i once heard
That you gotta learn
How to blend in to this mess
Where nothin's hard
Nothin's precious
And nothin's smooth or flawless

Now, no more amused
Just screaming to be delivered
For the first time

Now i'm 10 miles in the deep
And mighty blue sea
Looking back, towards a long white beach
Burnin' up into yellow flames

And i just wave back
Like a little boy up on a pony
In a show
'cause i can't fix
Something this complex
Any more than i can build a rose

So just keep on letting go
'cause i must be close
To being delivered for the first time

Now i'd rather bleed out
A long stream from being lonely
And feel blessed
Well than drown, laying face down
In a puddle of respect
I was once lost
In the corridors of the arena
In blindfolds
I've been the bull
I've been the whip
I just pulled down the matador

So now, turn on your lights
'cause i'm comin' home
I've been delivered for the first time

We didn't make it
We did not pull through
You shouldn't blame me
I don't blame you
Now what else did you think
That i would do?
Ooooh as if it wasn't hard enough

I'm so tired of waking up
Feeling bad
You haven't been the kind of place i have
Could it hurt you now
To let this pass?
Oooooh as if it wasn't hard enough
You want to make it so much harder

Now in another world
I could learn to forget
But 'til then i'm here
Making room for new regrets
Now some flowers they never bloom
And some flowers just bloom dead

The way you make me feel
I could collapse
An epidemic i cannot outlast
How could you feel used
When i feel trapped?
Ooooh as if it wasn't hard enough

And just as my conscience
Starts to clear
I drag the river and you're still there
The way i bring you down
Could not compare
Ooooh as if it wasn't hard enough
You want to make it so much harder

Now in another world
I could learn to forget
But 'til then i'm here
Making room for new regrets
Now some flowers they never bloom
But some flowers just bloom dead
Now some flowers they never bloom
And some flowers just bloom dead

The way i sleep
This bed just can't be made
I pull the covers up around my head
Now when i think of me
I think of somebody else instead
As if it wasn't hard enough
You're gonna make it so much harder

Now in another world
I could learn to forget
But 'til then i'm here
Making room for new regrets
Now some flowers they never bloom
And some flowers just bloom dead
Now some flowers they never bloom
And some flowers they just bloom dead
