Time Flies 1994-2009 [DVD]

I?m tired and I?m sick

Got a habit that I just can?t kick

(I) Feel hungover and I?m all in love

When the lights go down

I?m gonna shoot ?em all/up


S?alrite

Don?t be afraid

You gotta keep dreaming in the bed you made

And if it tastes like shit

Well, it beats sleeping rough on the floor


Keep saying that my head?s locked up in the clouds

Keep praying that the lord won?t slow me down

I?m tired and I?m sick

Got a habit that I can?t, won?t lick

Feel hungover and I?m all in love

Let the lights go down

Me and you are gonna shoot em all/up


Keep saying that my head?s locked up in the clouds

Keep praying that the lord won?t slow me down

I?m tired and I?m sick

Got a habit that I just can?t kick

Feel hungover and I?m all in love

When the lights go down

Me and you are gonna shoot em all/up

I get up - when I'm down
I can't swim - but my soul won't drown
I do believe - I got flare
I got speed and I walk on air

'cause God gimme soul in your rock'n'roll, babe
'cause God gimme soul in your rock'n'roll, babe
And I get so high I just can't feel it
And I get so high I just can't feel it

In and out my brain
Your runnin' through my vein
Your my sunshine
Your my rain

There's a light - that shines on
Shines on me - and it keeps me warm
It gimme peace - I must say
I can't sleep - 'cause the world won't wait

'cause God gimme soul in your rock'n'roll, babe
'cause God gimme soul in your rock'n'roll, babe
And I get so high I just can't feel it
And I get so high I just can't feel it

In and out my brain
Your runnin' through my vein
Your my sunshine
Your my rain

And I get so high I just can't feel it
And I get so high I just can't feel it
And I get so high I just can't feel it
And I get so high I just can't feel it

In and out my brain
Your runnin' through my vein
Your my sunshine
Your my rain

I sold my soul for the second time, 'cause the man don't pay me.
I begged my landlord for some more time, he said "Son, the bill's waiting."
My best friend called me the other night, he said, "Man, are you crazy?"
My girlfriend told me to get a life, she said, "Boy, you lazy."

But I don't mind, as long as there's a bed beneath the stars that shine.
I'll be fine - if you give me a minute, a man's got a limit.
I can't get a life if my heart's not in it.

[Solo]

I don't mind, as long as there's a bed beneath the stars that shine.
I'll be fine - if you give me a minute, a man's got a limit.
I can't get a life if my heart's not in it.

I lost my faith in the summertime, 'cause it don't stop raining.
The sky all day is black as night, but I know I can't blame me.
I begged my Doctor for one more line, he said "Son, words fail me!"
There ain't no place to be killing time, I guess I'm just lazy.

I don't mind, as long as there's a bed beneath the stars that shine.
I'll be fine - if you give me a minute, a man's got a limit.
I can't get a life if my heart's not in it.

I live my life in the city
There's no easy way out
The day's moving just too fast for me
I need some time in the sunshine
I gotta slow it right down
The day's moving just too fast for me

I live my life for the stars that shine
People say it's just a waste of time
Then they say I should feed my head
That to me was just a day in bed
I'll take my car and drive real far
They're not concerned about the way we are
In my mind my dreams are real
Now we're concerned about the way I feel

Tonight I'm a rock 'n' roll star
Tonight I'm a rock 'n' roll star

I live my life in the city
There's no easy way out
The day's moving just too fast for me
I need some time in the sunshine
I gotta slow it right down
The day's moving just too fast for me

I live my life for the stars that shine
People say it's just a waste of time
Then they say I should feed my head
That to me was just a day in bed
I'll take my car and drive real far
They're not concerned about the way we are
In my mind my dreams are real
Now we're concerned about the way I feel

Tonight I'm a rock 'n' roll star
Tonight I'm a rock 'n' roll star
Tonight I'm a rock 'n' roll star

You're not down with who I am
Look at you now you're all in my hands tonight

Tonight I'm a rock 'n' roll star
Tonight I'm a rock 'n' roll star
Tonight I'm a rock 'n' roll star

It's just rock 'n' roll
It's just rock 'n' roll
It's just rock 'n' roll
It's just rock 'n' roll
It's just rock 'n' roll
It's just rock 'n' roll
It's just rock 'n' roll
It's just rock 'n' roll

It's a bit early in the midnight hour for me
To go through all the things that I want to be
I don't believe in everything I see
Y'know I'm blind so why d'you disagree?

Take me away cos I just don't want to stay
And the lies you make me say
Are getting deeper every day
These are crazy days but they make me shine
Time keeps rolling by

All around the world, you've gotta spread the word
Tell 'em what you've heard
You're gonna make a better day
All around the world, you've gotta spread the word
Tell 'em what you've heard
You know it's gonna be okay

Whatcha gonna do when the walls come falling down?
You never move you never make a sound
Where you gonna swim with the ridges that you found?
You're lost at sea well I hope that you drown

Take me away cos I just don't want to stay
And the lies you make me say
Are getting deeper every day
These are crazy days but they make me shine
Time keeps rolling by

All around the world, you've gotta spread the word
Tell 'em what you've heard
You're gonna make a better day
And all around the world, you've gotta spread the word
Tell 'em what you've heard
You know it's gonna be okay

Na na na na, na na na na, na na na na, na na na, na na, na na, na na,
Na na na na na na na na, na na na na na na na na,
Na na na na na na na na, na na na na na na na na na na na na na

All around the world, you've gotta spread the word

Cos and all around the world, you've gotta spread the word
Tell 'em what you've heard
You know it's gonna be okay

It's gonna be okay

All around the world, you've gotta spread the word
Tell 'em what you've heard

Na na na na na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na na na na na
And I know what I know, what I know what I know
Yeah I know what I know it's gonna be okay

We the people fight for our existence
We don't claim to be perfect but we're free
We dream our dreams alone with no resistance
Fading like the stars we wish to be

You know I didn't mean what I just said
But my God woke up on the wrong side of his bed
And it just don't matter now

As little by little we gave you everything you ever dreamed of
Little by little the wheels of your life have slowly fallen off
Little by little you have to give it all in all your life
And all the time I just ask myself why you're really here?

True perfection has to be imperfect
I know that that sounds foolish but it's true
Day has come, now you'll have to accept
Life inside your head we give to you

You know I didn't mean what I just said
But my God woke up on the wrong side of his bed
And it just don't matter now

As little by little we gave you everything you ever dreamed of
Little by little the wheels of your life have slowly fallen off
Little by little you have to give it all in all your life
And all the time I just ask myself why you're really here?

As little by little we gave you everything you ever dreamed of
Little by little the wheels of your life have slowly fallen off
Little by little you have to give it all in all your life
And all the time I just ask myself why you're really here?

Why am I really here?
Why am I really here?

Talking to the songbird yesterday
Flew me to a past not far away
She's a little pirate in my mind
Singing songs of love to pass the time

Gonna write a song so she can see
Give her all the love she gives to me
Talk of better days that have yet to come
Never felt this love from anyone

She's not anyone
She's not anyone
She's not anyone

A man can never dream these kind of things
Especially when she came and spread her wings
Whispered in my ear the things I'd like
Then she flew away into the night

Gonna write a song so she can see
Give her all the love she gives to me
Talk of better days that have yet to come
Never felt this love from anyone

She's not anyone
She's not anyone
She's not anyone

Paint no illusion, try to click with whatcha got
Taste every potion 'cause if yer like yerself a lot
Go let it out, go let it in, go let it out

Life is precocious in a most peculiar way
Sister psychosis don't got a lot to say
She go let it out, she go let it in, she go let it out
She go let it out, she go let it in, she go let it out

Is it any wonder why Princes & Kings
Are clowns that caper in their sawdust rings
Ordinary people that are like you and me
We're the keepers of their destiny,
We're the keepers of their destiny

I'm goin' leaving this city, I'm goin' drivin' outta town
And your comin' with me the right time is always now
To go let it out, to go let it in, and go let it out
To go let it out, to go let it in, and go let it out

Is it any wonder why Princes and Kings
Are clowns that caper in their sawdust rings
Ordinary people that are like you and me
We're the builders of their destiny
We're the builders of their destiny
We're the builders of their destiny
We're the builders of their destiny

So go let it out, go let it in
Go let it out, don't let it in
Go let it out, go let it in
Go let it out, don't let it, don't let it in, don't let it in

I'd like to be somebody else and not know where I've been
I'd like to build myself a house out of plasticine
Shake along with me
I've been driving in my car with my friend Mr. Soft

Mr. Clean and Mr. Ben are living in my loft
Shake along with me!
I'm sorry but I just don't know
I know I said I told you so

But when you're happy and you're feeling fine
Then you'll know it's the right time
It's the right time
To shake along with me!

Mister Sifter sold me songs
When I was just sixteen
Now he stops at traffic lights
But only when they're green
