Free

Outside in the hall there's a catfight
It's well after midnight
I guess i'll be allright
I'm laid out on the floor
Drunk and ppor
How much longer how much more

Rock me to sleep
Strong & deep.
The screaming cats they give me the creep
But aside from all that i feel no pain
Staring up at the ceiling stains
...neon in the window
...sirens far away
...news on the radio happy birthday happy birthday happy birthday

They're at it again next door
This whole floor i swear
They're out to drive me crazy
Not right now i'm high as a cloud i'm soft and gray and lazy
...neon in the window
...sirens far away
...news on the radio happy birthday happy birthday happy birthday

Fly me
Out the window.
Somewhere far away
Singing on the radio

Maybe it's just a phase
The days and the nights and the nights and the days
Of tossing and turning and buring and churning
Inside my brain

Or, maybe i'm finally insane
But i don't know who to believe anymore
It's like i'm caught in some revolving door
Over and over and over and over

....teach me how to pray.
....tell me what to say
Help me help me help me find my way

I never could play the game
And all their faces look the same
And i won't give up
Won't give in
You know i never want to be like them i'm
Ticking away like time
Out of sync and out of my mind
Well i used to know a truth from a lie
Just by
Looking in your eyes
Lies

....carry me away
....farther and farther and farther everyday

Help me help me help me find my way

Hanging by a thread
And waves of confusion break down on my head
When i think of all the things you said well the words
Fall
Dead

....higher every day
....a price i swear i'll never pay no way

Help me help me help me find my way

My eyes are jaded and complicated,
Tired of the liars and the masqueraded
Who steals our innocence away,
Like a thief in the night?
Who took away our faith in what we know to be right?
That was another world, then
That was another time
You can never go back to the scene of a perfect crime.

Whatever became of the child i was
I never want to lose her no
I won't give her up
And now my heart is harder,
My skin is getting tougher and tougher
That was another world then
That was another time
You can never go back to the place where love is blind
You can never go back to the scene of a perfect crime

Whatever became of our sweet blind love
As long as we could be together it was more than enough
Now we're all grown up and we need so much
I never knew that the price would go up as such
That was another world then, then
That was another time

Well you can never go back to the place where love is blind.
Well you can never go back to the place where love is blind.
Well you can never go back to the place where love is blind.
You can never go back to the scene of a perfect crime.

Part the dark and chase it gone
You're the sweet and sunny one
As bright as any star tonight.
You smile like a beam of light
You can
Show me a ray
Show me a ray
Show me a ray
Show me a ray of
Sun.
Just until the morning comes
I'm the gray and cloudy one
Raining for so long, so long
Like a candle blowing in a storm
But you can
Show me a ray
Show me a ray
Show me a ray
Show me a ray
Of
Sun.

The little conversation
was over very soon
And i watch in admiration
From my corner of the room.
They shine on you with starry eyes...
They rain a friendly storm.
Like kids around a christmas tree
And then you smile all nice and warm

These little conversations
If i tried my very best
You know i never could say anything
In twenty words or less.
Somewhere, sometime, down the line
Someday i may confess,
And tell you all. that's all

The little conversations
On me are very rough
They leave me all in pieces
You know there's never time enough
It's like a book with missing pages
A story incomplete
It's like a painting left unfinished
It feels like not enough to eat.
Starvin'

These little conversations
Well for me they'll never do
Now what am i supposed to do with
Broken sentences of you?
I'll stay in my corner `cause
That's all that i can do
Let the others speak for me.
Little conversations
Are we.

Today i went & bought myself a bottle
...like we used to do
Reminded me of you.

Today i saw a train roll by a river
Blowing off her steam
Reminded me of me
That's when i threw the bottle in the river
Then i started running for the train

Carry me away carry me away

Its seven o nine california time
Whoever said it was a small world was either a liar or a fool
Cause it's not true
And any promise you'd make is as easy to break
As the plastic people on a wedding cake so says you
But you know, i do

Time and time and time and time away i hear you thinking
Time and time and time and time
We' keep trying crying lying and drinking
Carry me away carry me away
