unknown

Yeah this is how it ends
After all these years
Tired of it all
Hopelessly helplessly broken apart
He finally falls
He doesn't want to think
Doesn't want to feel
Doesn't want to know what's going on
Says there's nothing he can do will change anything
He doesn't want to know what's going wrong
Because he's in love with a drug
One that makes him numb
One that stops him feeling at all
He's in love with a drug
Forget eveyone
He really doesn't care anymore
Anymore...
Yeah this is how it ends
After all this time
Everything just fades away
Worn-out and empty and all alone
With nothing left to say
Oh it's all too big to make a difference
It's all too wrong to make it right
Yeah everything is too unfair
Everything too much to bear
He doesn't have the strength left for the fight
Says all he wants is the drug
The one that makes him numb
The one that stops him feeling at all
He just wants to take the drug
Forget everyone
He doesn't want to care anymore
Just keeps loving the drug
The one that makes him numb
The one that stops him feeling at all
Just keeps loving the drug
The drug that he's become
He isn't really here anymore...

And that makes me cry

Shape is still
Asleep
With the toys
As tall as men
The pictures in the hallway
Turning inside
Whispers
Unseen
Jumping against the sky
Slipping away
He looks
For the last time...

So i'll wait for you
Where i always wait
Behind the signs that sell the news
I'll watch for you like yesterday
And hope for you
One day that once
Spent out on me
And up 'til late
I search for you
Your hat pushed straight
Away from me
Your measured step
Heads up you win
Always too late
If i could just once catch your eye
Invisible against the words
That hold you down in solitude
And never let you go
The way that every time
My eyes just close
Like lids of wooden men in file
I put you under rainy day
Your hat's all off
And i'm gone away

"don't look don't look" the shadows breathe
Whispering me away from you
"don't wake at night to watch her sleep
You know that you will always lose
This trembling
Adored
Tousled bird mad girl... "
But every night i burn
But every night i call your name
Every night i burn
Every night i fall again
"oh don't talk of love" the shadows purr
Murmuring me away from you
"don't talk of worlds that never were
The end is all that's ever true
There's nothing you can ever say
Nothing you can ever do... "
Still every night i burn
Every night i scream your name
Every night i burn
Every night the dream's the same
Every night i burn
Waiting for my only friend
Every night i burn
Waiting for the world to end

"just paint your face" the shadows smile
Slipping me away from you
"oh it doesn't matter how you hide
Find you if we're wanting to
So slide back down and close your eyes
Sleep a while
You must be tired... "
But every night i burn
Every night i call your name
Every night i burn
Every night i fall again
Every night i burn
Scream the animal scream
Every night i burn
Dream the crow black dream

Dream the crow black dream...

High up on this mountain
The whole world looks so small
And all the rivers
Run away
Slipping in your deep green heart
I drink you as i swim
And i'm sliding
And i'm sliding with you
Slide beneath my skin
Sleek and deep
And salty sweet
You open up in me
Just like the snow in summer

High up on this mountain
The whole world looks so small
And all the rivers
Run away
Slipping in your soft white heart
I drink you as i swim
And i'm falling
And i'm falling with you
Fall beneath my skin

Sleek and deep
And salty sweet
You come
And close in me
Just like the snow in summer

Just like the snow in summer
As it melts
Into the sea

Nothing ever gets in my way
Nothing ever gets on my mind
Nothing ever makes me stop to think about
Nothing of the kind
Nothing ever loses me sleep
And nothing ever wins my heart
Nothing ever makes me want to sing along
And nothing makes me want to start

If i'm falling down a mountain
Then i pick myself up
And if i crash into an iceberg
I don't give a frightful look around
If i am burning then i put myself out
I'm so completely full
I scare the world
Oh all the world
All inside out
Just look around
Just look around

Nothing ever puts me out
Nothing ever pulls me in
Nothing ever makes me want to jump
Nothing makes me want to begin

Nothing ever gets me down
Nothing ever gets me uptight
Nothing ever makes me run around
And nothing makes me feel i might

If i'm hanging from a peach tree
Then i cut myself down
And if i look into the sun
I just turn up the sound
And if i swallow deathcap loverooms
Then i spit them right out
I'm so completely full
I scare the world
Yeah all the world
Inside out
Just look around
Just look around

Nothing ever gets in my way
Nothing ever gets on my mind
Nothing ever makes me stop to think about
Nothing of the kind

Harold and joe
Go go go
(sing bird sing)

I don't care
If only i could say that
And not feel so sick and scared
I don't care
If only i could say that
If only my eyes would close
It's jesus brilliant
You used to laugh
Walking these gorgeous blocks
This top is the place
Where nobody goes
You just imagine
You just imagine it all

Every day i lie here
And know that it's true
All i really want is you
Please come back
Please come back
Like all the other ones do

Please come back
All of you

Spit out the shout of a warning
Death is an honour with doubts
So you live in the end
And you mistrust the start
Because you don't think it counts
But you'll pay for yourself
You'll pay for yourself
You're just a heroin face

You see a heroin face in the mirror
And someone is clutching your breath
And you believe in the needle of night
You're only doing your best

But you'll pay for yourself
You'll pay for yourself

You believe in the needle of night
And someone is cluthing your breath
So you mistrust the start
By always running away
But you'll never come back

You're just a heroin face
Heroin face

I never felt like this with anyone before
You only have to smile and i'm dizzy
You make the world go round
A thousand times an hour
Just touch my head
And send me spinning
I never felt like this with anyone before
You show me colours and i'm crying
You hold my eyes in yours
And open up the world
I can't believe all of this

I want to keep this feeling
Deep inside of me
I want you always in my heart
You are everything

I never felt like this with anyone before
You fill my head full of rainbows
And all the rainbows end
Is every step you take
Just to be with you forever

I want to keep this feeling
Deep inside of me
I want you always in my heart
You are everything

If you've got something left to say
You'd better say it now
Anything but "stay"
Just say it now
We know we've reached the end
We just don't know how
"well at least we'll still be friends"
Yeah one last useless vow...
"there are different ways to live"
Yeah i know that stuff
"other ways to give"
Yeah all that stuff
But holding onto used to be
Is not enough
Memory's not life
And it's not love
We should let it all go
It never stays the same
So why does it hurt me like this
When you say that i've changed?
When you say that i've aged?
Say i'm afraid...

And all the tears you cry
They're not tears for me
Regrets about your life
They're not regrets for me
It never turns how you want
Why can't you see?
It all just slips away
It always slips away
Eventually...

So if you've got something left to say
Just say goodbye
Turn your face away
And say goodbye
You know we've reached the end
You just don't know why
And you know we can't pretend
After all this time
So just let it all go
Nothing ever stays the same
So why does it hurt me like this
To say that i've changed?
To say that i've aged?
Say i'm afraid...

But there are long nights when i lay awake
And i think of what i've done
Of how i've thrown my sweetest dreams away
And what i've really become
And however hard i try
I will always feel regret
However hard i try
I will never forget

I will never forget

I went into the butchers
I said wanted wanted wanted some
Meat
Pass
Me some of that steak over there
It looks so
Sweet
I lost my heart to a meathook

That butcher man was some
Lady
He really stole my heart
He hung me up on his meathook
A real piece of
Slaughterhouse art

I lost my heart to a meathook

There's a meathook in my heart
Tearing me all apart
Ripping out my insides
But i just can't get away
I can't leave my
Meathook

Lost my heart to a meathook
Lost my heart to a meathook
Meathook

The big hand makes all of your favorite things
Like all your dreams go small
And all your friends run away
Until your memories fall
And the words don't fit
But the way the big hand smiles
You just won't care about it
The big hand makes all of your favorite things
Like all your days run out
And your hopes disappear
And your smiles just stop
And your eyes go dead
And the shadows start to crawl
In the back of your head

But when the big hand speaks
It's like fireworks and heaven
So you listen don't think
And wish for nothing at all
And when the big hand sings
It's like fireworks and friends
Leaving alone i'm not leaving alone
I'll never leave alone again

So when the big hand holds up all of your favorite things
And with a touch like glass starts to squeeze
You don't ask "why me?"
You just slip to the floor
You just slip to your knees

But when the big hand speaks
It's like fireworks and heaven
So you listen don't think
And wish for nothing at all
And when the big hand sings
It's like fireworks and friends
Leaving alone
I'm not leaving alone
Leaving alone never leaving alone
I'll never leave alone again...

I don't think i'm any closer now
Than i was at fifteen
I still don't know what i really want
Or how i really feel
Sometimes i think i've seen too much
Sometimes nothing at all
And sometimes i think i just forgot
What i was looking for
But i still need to believe in you
I still need to know you'll never
Never give up
I believe in you...
So how can you ever let
My hope turn to despair?
How can you ever stop
Telling me you care?

But i still need to believe in you
I still need to know you'll never
Never give up
I believe in you...
So how can you ever let
My hope turn to despair?
Tell me you believe it too
Tell me that you care
How can you ever let
My hope turn to despair?
How can you ever stop
Pretending?

A disease is under my fingernails
It stains me like a tattoo
Back on the rack
Aching w/ time
Your face is familiar
From another crime
And we could swim, we could swim
My little fishes and me
Overgrown senses prickle + spark
The flesh is in the palm of my hand
Back on the rack
Love under will
Your face is familiar
From another kill
A tongue explodes into my mouth
A taste of coma and tears
Back on the rack
My shape of rage
Your face is familiar
From another cage
And we could swim...

You're too far away
Too far away to touch
And this mother's love inside me
Hurts too much
Prettily waving
Playing on the sand
Dreaming of everything
Dancing
Dancing in our hands
Dancing
Dancing
Dizzy dizzy dizzy
As i speak
Like a tumbling cat
I watch in fascination
Like a vampire bat
Don't do it don't do it
Don't do it don't do it
Don't give it away
We'll use it up tomorrow
If we don't use it today

Rest your head
Oh just put it outside
All wrapped up in ribbons
The night
The dream
The time love died

We pushed it in our mouths
Pushed it deep inside
All wrapped up in ribbons
The night
The dream
The time
Love died

I dig you
You dig me
We dig each other
That's groovy
(oh yeah)

He breaks the spell
Still young and words from
Out this dream of life and leaves us
Sleeping stone rack
Lying consumed by
Phantom pains
And displays of greed
He slips from out this shadowland
And pain where heads grow soft and grey
And age destroys all hope
And spirits crush the men
And hide away

The wordless watch the soft sky smile
And breathless hear the low wind sigh
What death will join
No more let love divide

"dream yourself awake" he calls
"an eternity awaits us all
Open your eyes and be with me
Be with me..."

He breaks the chains
So young disspells
The hateful shades
Of treacherous time
Leaves us sleeping
Tortured mute
Devoured by ghosts
And dreams of life

Slips through ties
And dust to be the world
We dream he lives apart
But everything we feel
The young and beautiful
And brave of heart

The wordless watch the soft sky smile
And breathless hear the low wind sigh
What death will join
No more let love divide

"dream yourself awake" he calls
"an eternity awaits us all
Open your eyes and be with me
Be with me..."

"dream yourself awake" he calls
"an eternity awaits us all
Open your eyes and be with me
Be with me forever..."

Drowning like a fly in my drink
You drone about being on the drink
But really don't care what you think
Oh i'm sick of it all
Sick of it all
I hate the way it's always the same
Hate recrimination and blame
And you just wait for me to fuck up again
Oh i'm sick of it all
Sick of it all
The ways you try and put me down
Sweet revenge for the things i've done
The ways you try and twist me around
"give me a taste of my own medicine"

Drowning like a fly in my drink
You whine about being out of synch
But i really don't care what you think
Oh i'm sick of it all
Sick of it all

I hate the way you want me to be
Hate regret and humility
And you just wait for me to fall at your feet
Oh i'm sick of it all
Sick of it all

The ways you try and run me down
Make me pay for the things i've been
The ways you try and push me around
All you want to do is win

Any love you once felt for me
Has turned into this travesty
Of selfishness and jealousy
So why can't you just let me go?
Any love you once felt for me
Has turned into this travesty
Of selfishness and jealousy
So why can't i just let you go?

Please wake up
It's so dark and cold
Please wake up
I feel so alone
And i feel so scared
That you're going away
And i feel so scared...
All i want is summer
Stories from before
Just like the day you tried to hide
Behind the churchyard wall
And fell asleep before i came
I found you
In a chain of flowers
Sleeping like a marble girl
Sleeping in another world...

I'll never tell you
Of all the different ways
You make me so afraid...

Never say it's over
Never say the end
Anytime you stop just start again
Never say give up
Never say give in
You always have to fight to win
However much it hurts
However much it takes
Believe and all your dreams will all come true
However hard it gets
However much it aches
Always believe in me
As i believe in you

To never say too late
Never say it's done
Make me know for real you are the one
The one that never turns
Never walks away
The one that i can trust to always stay

Never say surrender
Never say die
You only ever get there if you try
Never say give up
Never say give in
You always have to fight to win

However much it hurts
However much it takes
Believe that all your dreams can all come true
However hard it gets
However much it aches
Always believe in me
As i believe in you

Never say if only
Never say regret
Only the weak remember to forget
Never say it's over
Never say the end
Never say never again

However much it hurts
However much it takes
Believe and all your dreams will all come true
However hard it gets
However much it aches
Believe in me
As i believe in you

I've been up for days
And i feel like a menagerie
I'm scratching 'til i bleed
And i keep on seeing
Imaginary lemurs
In the street
In the middle of the day
But as long as i can breathe
Then i know i'll be ok
I'll be alright
I'm out of mind
I'm out of sight
I'm out of sight
I've been up for days
And i feel like a laboratory rat
Inside a maze
And i reel in the monotony of
Screaming
At the moon
In the middle of the day
But as long as i can see it
Then i know i'll be ok
I'll be fine
I'm out of sight
I'm completely out of mind
Completely out of mind

Ok
Alright
Come and watch me shake tonight
Mouth wide
Soft and bright
Bite my hand and scream
Ok
Alright
Come and watch me break tonight
Push deep
Out of sight
Bite my hand and hold on tight...

Instrumental

I woke up at seven and my body was vibrating
I was wrapped up in a blanket
I was grey
Damp and sore
The bedroom was an engine and my heartbeat was erratic
(like i think i'm at the racing
Like the night before)
I remember one girl standing
One was sitting on the ground
One was holding me up
The other pulling me down
And i couldn't decide which one was real
Because there wasn't a sound
(like i was pregnant again...)
"don't move don't blink don't think don't even breathe" she said
"or the photograph will spoil
And cut you off at the head"
So i was sucking
I was suncking like a fat lady would
But i couldn't hold it down another second
(bleagh!)
"don't twitch don't shout don't think don't even breathe" she said
"or the photograph will spoil and cut you off at the head"
So i was sweating
I was sweating like a fat lady would
And i woke up
With a man inside my mouth
(this won't hurt at all)

Electric line
Racing time
Fire down the wall
Spinning around
The killing ground
It makes you look so small
Henna years
The stinging tears
Flesh on the railway track
The screaming queen
On the tv screen
Is never coming back
Don't suffer no more
Just step inside and listen
Listen to my pillbox tales

Your special days
Your winning ways
You're living out the past
You're lying lies
And tying ties
And running much too fast
But you feel so sick
If you run too quick
And wishing every day
Wishing you were years away

Don't suffer no more
Just step inside and listen
Listen to my pillbox tales

One mile in the air that's where she lives
Her body looks so thin and pink and small
Dropping eggs from nervous shaking hands
And swallowing her fingers as they fall
Two people dance on the edge:three of us push them away
There's nowhere to go we're all in this
But nothing can hurt us at all
Fight her all you want you'll never win
Couldn't we just once leave her in bed
Let the dry air cut her happy throat
Hide her heart and lose her happy head
First i was a murderer then i was a saint
Now i live on stolen time twist and run like paint
Like an animal
Tuesday in the sun nothing could be worse
Not now not ever not anymore....

Here comes the book
The book of rules
If you play this game
You won't stay the same
You could win your golden teeth
Be a spinning top
Use a riding crop
Mr alphabet says
"smile like a weasel
As i cover you...
Cover you in treacle"
We all know impatience
Is a sin..so do as you're
Told to do, it's so rewarding to...
And you could win the tin man's heart
Be a chiming clock
Lie on the chopping block
Mr. alphabet says
"give me all your money
Just to cover you
Cover you in honey"
Don't be afraid
There's no marmalade
Don't be afraid
I wouldn't even dream of it!

Yesterday i got so old
I felt like i could die
Yesterday i got so old
It made me want to cry
Go on go on
Just walk away
Your choice is made
Go on go on
And disappear
Go on go on
Away from here
And i know i was wrong
When i said it was true
That it couldn't be me and be her
Inbetween without you
Without you

Yesterday i got so scared
I shivered like a child
Yesterday away from you
It froze me deep inside
Come back come back
Don't walk away
Come back come back
Come back today
Come back come back
Why can't you see
Come back come back
Come back to me

And i know i was wrong
When i said it was true
That it couldn't be me and be her
Inbetween without you
Without you

You wear your smile
Like it was going out of fashion
Dress to inflame
But douse any ideas of passion
You carry your love in a trinket
Hanging round your throat
Always inviting
Always exciting
But i must not take off my coat
Well i'm tired of hanging around
I want somebody new
I'm not sure who i've got in mind
But i know
That it's not you
That it's not you

You ask me questions
That i never wanted to hear
I am the only one
Just until you finish this year
I would murder you
If i had the alibi
Here in my hand
And you just laugh
'cause you don't understand

That i'm tired of hanging around
I want somebody new
I'm not sure
Who i've got in mind
But i know that it's not you
It's not you
It's not you
It's not you
It's not you
It's not you
No it's not you
That it's not you
It's not you
It's not you

The holy city breathed
Like a dying man
It moved with hopeful tears
With the tears of the blind
And on and on as the night drew in
Through broken streets
That sucked me in
My feet were bare and cut with stones
With walking to the promised land

I pushed through crowds
Through seas of prayer
Through twisting hands and choking air
A vulture at the wailing wall
I circled

Shapes in the drink like christ
Cracks in the pale blue wall
I'm walking slowly and quickly but
Always away
Twisting twisting to the floor
Flowers in your mouth and the same dry
Song the routine from laughter land
16 white legs and a row of teeth
I watch you in secrecy

Your dying for the hope is gone
From here we go nowhere again
I'm trapped in my face and i'm changing
Too much
I can't climb out the way i fell in

Jump with me
For that old forgotten dance
The midnight sun will burn you up
Your life is cold
Your life is hot
Your life's too much for words

These occasions are such a relief
Another point another view to send
We start to talk
And it's all so safe
I feed you in my dreams

Footsteps on a wire
High above my head
The stain reveals my real intention
I'm the waiting beast
I'm the twisted nerve
As i dance dance
Back to the body in my bed

Look at the piggy
Piggy in the mirror

They pulled in just behind the fridge
He lays her down, he frowns
"gee my life's a funny thing, am i still too young?"
He kissed her then and there
She took his ring, took his babies
It took him minutes, took her nowhere
Heaven knows, she'd have taken anything, but
Chorus (he)
All night
She wants the young american
Young american, young american, she wants the young american
All right
She wants the young american

Scanning life through the picture window
She finds the slinky vagabond
He coughs as he passes her ford mustang, but
Heaven forbid, she'll take anything
But the freak, and his type, all for nothing
He misses a step and cuts his hand, but
Showing nothing, he swoops like a song
She cries "where have all papa's heroes gone?"

Chorus (she)
All the way from washington
Her bread-winner begs off the bathroom floor
"we live for just these twenty years
Do we have to die for the fifty more?"

Chorus (he)
All night
He wants the young american
Young american, young american, he wants the young american
All right
He wants the young american

Do you remember, your president clinton?
Do you remember, bill, you have to pay
Or even yesterday?

Have you have been an un-american?
Just you and your idol singing falsetto 'bout
Leather, leather everywhere, and
Not a myth left from the ghetto
Well, well, well, would you carry a razor
In case, just in case of depression?
Sit on your hands on a bus of survivors
Blushing at all the afro-sheilas
Ain't that close to love?
Well, ain't that poster love?
Well, it ain't that barbie doll
Her heart's been broken just like you have

Chorus (you)
All night
You want the young american
Young american, young american, you want the young american
All right
You want the young american

You ain't a pimp and you ain't a hustler
A pimp's got a cadi and a lady got a chrysler
Black's got respect, and white's got his soul train
Mama's got cramps, and look at your hands ache
(i heard the news today, oh boy)
I got a suite and you got defeat
Ain't there a man you can say no more?
And, ain't there a woman i can sock on the jaw?
And, ain't there a child i can hold without judging?
Ain't there a pen that will write before they die?
Ain't you proud that you've still got faces?
Ain't there one damn song that can make me
Break down and cry?

Chorus (i) (repeat 3 times)
All night
I want the young american
Young american, young american, i want the young american
All right
I want the young american

I'll never understand
(come closer and i'll whisper)
Who was that standing in the rain?
If only i could remember
What he said
(and how it all began)
Happy the man
With the face that smiles

But it has to have a name
(something strong, something faithful, something pure)
How does he look so safe?

He'll never
Never turn away
Happy the man

Nothing i am
Nothing i dream
Nothing is new
Nothing i think or believe in or say
Nothing is true

It used to be so easy
I never even tried
Yeah it used to be so easy...

But the last day of summer
Never felt so cold
The last day of summer
Never felt so old
Never felt so...

All that i have
All that i hold
All that is wrong
All that i feel for or trust in or love
All that is gone

It used to be so easy
I never even tried
Yeah it used to be so easy...

But the last day of summer
Never felt so cold
The last day of summer
Never felt so old
The last day of summer
Never felt so cold

Never felt so...

You look like you could do with a friend
She said
You look like you could use a word
Like first or follow or fly she said
Laughing away as she turned
You look like a poor boy
At the edge of the world
And when i die i said
I leave you it all
Door closes
Poor boy's song

You look like you could do with a friend
She said
You look like you could use a word
Like first or follow or fly she said
Laughing away as she turned
You look just like a poor boy
At the edge of the world
And when i die i said
I'll leave you it all
Door closes
Poor boy's song
It doesn't touch me at all...

You look like you could do with a sister
She said
You look like you could use a girl to call your own
Like fabulous fabulous
Call me fabulous
And laughing away as she turned
You look just like a poor boy
At the edge of the world
And when i die i said
I'll leave you it all
Door closes
Poor boy's song
It doesn't touch me at all...

It doesn't touch me at all...

Throwing moves
(???)
It only goes

(???) comes
Like it always does
The kissing ends
Where wendy was...

I lift my lips from kissing you
To kiss the sky
Cloud soft and blue
And slow the sun melts down
Into your golden words for me
I lift my hands from touching you
To touch the wind that whispers through
This twilight garden
Turns into a world
Where dreams are real

No-one will ever take your place
I am lost in you
No-one will ever take your place
So in love with you

I lift my eyes from watching you
To watch the star rise shine onto
Your dreaming face and dreaming smile
You're dreaming worlds
For me

I lift my lips from kissing you
And kiss the sky wide deepest blue
And slow the moon swims up
Into your golden words
For me

No-one will ever take your place
I am lost in you
No-one will ever take your place
So in love with you

I'm a cult hero
A dream come true
You want to touch me
But you can't get through
I walk on water and i don't get wet
I've got something you won't forget
I'm a cult hero -- payed my dues
I'm a cult hero -- got nothing to lose
I'm a cult hero

I'm a cult hero
I'm ahead of my time
You'll never rule me
'coz i'm all mine
Bounce off of me
'coz i'm so strong
My time is coming and it won't be long

Save us!!

Run around the chairs in your sunday dress
It's the best thing money can buy
Or leave me on the stairs with my feet in the air
I think that i'm jazzy like christ
One more cigarette and the car burns slow
Burning like the body waiting at home
Throw out your teeth and call all your friends
Someone coughing took away my breath
Inches of glass all shiny and new screaming laughing-
Fucks me to death one more boy full of writing white mice
Rolls over again in a london disguise
The blood bath woman in room number one
Sex-eye-make-up tonight she just woke up today to do as she's told
Do you want to touch her?

Hello, i love you
Won't you tell me your name?
Hello, i love you
Let me jump in your game
Hello, i love you
Won't you tell me your name?
Hello, i love you
Won't you tell me your name?
Hello, i love you
Let me jump in your game
Hello, i love you
Won't you tell me your name?
Hello, i love you
Let me jump in your game

She's walking down the street
Blind to every eye she meets
Do you think you'll be the guy
To make the queen of the angels sigh?

Hello, i love you
Won't you tell me your name?
I love you
Want you

Hello, i love you
Won't you tell me your name?
Hello, i love you
Let me jump in your game
Hello, i love you
Won't you tell me your name?
Hello, i love you
Let me jump in your game

She holds her head so high
Like a statue in the sky
Her arms are wicked and her legs are long
When she moves my brain screams out this song

Sidewalk crouches at her feet
Like a dog that begs for something sweet
Do you hope to make her see you fool ?
Do you hope to pluck this dusky jewel ?

Hello, hello, hello, hello
I need you
I need you
Hello, i love you
Won't you tell me your name?
Hello, i love you
Won't you tell me your name?

All he needs is everyone i've been
And all she needs is everywhere i've seen
All they need
Anything i've touched
And all you need is everything i've loved
Everything i've heard everything i've learned
Everything i've tried everything i've held
Everything i've felt everything i've lost
Everything i've cried
Until my whole head shrieks with grinding my teeth
Struggling to find a single word i can keep
Any kind of truth
Any kind of hope
Oh just any kind of word that doesn't make me choke
But i keep saying i will and i won't
I keep saying i do and i don't
I keep saying i feel
But there is nothing to feel
Just a strange kind of nothing where it used to be me...
It used to be me

All he needs from me is everyone i've ever missed
And all she needs from me
Everyone i've ever kissed
All they need from me
Anything i've ever sung
Yeah and all you need from me is everything i've ever said
Everything i've ever done everything i've ever made
Everything i've ever prayed everything i've ever believed
Everything i've ever touched everything i've ever loved
Everything i've ever thought everything i've ever dreamed
Until my whole head screams with grinding my teeth
Desperate to find a single word i can keep
Any kind of faith
Any kind of fix
Oh just any kind of word that doesn't make me sick

And i keep saying i will but i won't
I keep saying i do but i don't
And i keep saying i feel
But there is nothing to feel
Just this strange kind of nothing where it used to be me...

Anything and everything
All that you need
Get it for free
Anything and everything
All that you need
Get it from me

Get it from me
Get it from me
Get it from me

It's funny how your face gets bigger
Gets bigger in this atmosphere
And your mouth goes dry
With every move you try
It's so funny here
Jumping around -- click click click
When you're so slow
It's like the world is stopping

Fifteen times i try this
And every time i faint
You look at me and
Start to tell the joke
About the man who couldn't stop
Hiccupping

It would be so perfect
If you would just fall out the window

Throw your foot away
You're tired and your face is grey
Like the sad old fool
You groove

Rio sunrise sucking on a straw
I rub my head and stagger out the door
And head into the bright new beautiful day
And the way she pulls me in
Sucks my breath away i asked her for some time
And she just made me it
I asked her maybe why?
And she just gave me it never smile
Never stare
She doesn't seem to care at all
Never cry
Never scream
She doesn't really seem to need me at all
Fourteen weeks i stay away from home
A hundred days a part of me unknown
Apart in pink and perfect moments play
And as a wonder of the world
She sucks my breath away

I asked her for some time
And she just made me it
I asked her maybe why?
And she just gave me it
So i asked her could be heaven?
And she just prayed me it...

She didn't want to know my name
She didn't want to know how long we had together
Spending time as if tomorrow never comes
I didn't want to know the end
I didn't want to go but slowly found me home again
And slow again tomorrow comes

But it was all so far away
And so long ago
I hardly ever think about her anymore
Except sometimes when the summer twilight breeze
Carries me the scent of faraway rain
I remember...
And she still sucks my breath away

I know that i don't love you but i tell you that i do
But i only buy you flowers if i want anything from you
You say that if you'll leave me it will put me on a shelf
But i don't need you girl
I just need myself.
I just need myself

You trust in all my lies
You'll believe it when you see it
??? be forever
So you let me have my way
???
???
But i'll make it that i'll leave you
"cos i just need myself
I just need myself

I know that i don't love you but i tell you that i do
But i only buy you flowers if i want anything from you
You think that if you'll leave me it will put me on a shelf
But i don't need you girl
I just need myself.

I just need myself (3x)
I just need

An instrumental.

The big hand makes all of your favourite things
Like all your friends looks small and all your feelings are gone
And the flowers on the wall
And the words don't fit
But the way the big hand smiles you just won't care about it

The big hand makes all of your favourite things
Like all your dreams go small and all your friends run away
And the flowers on the wall
And the flowers in the sun
I think the big hand sees all the things that you've done

But when the big hand speaks it's like fireworks or heaven
And so you listen and sob
But you're as small as you go
And when the big hand sings it's like fireworks and friends
Leaving alone you said
I'm leaving alone
Leaving alone you said i'm leaving alone

The big hand leaves off makes sure everything's clean
And with a voice like glass looking outwards
Walks past
I dream
It's falling away
I sob

And when the big hand speaks it's like fireworks or heaven
And you listen and sob
But you're as small as you go
And when the big hand sings it's like fireworks or friends
Moving away you said
I'm moving away
Leaving alone you said
I'm leaving alone
Leaving alone you said
I'm leaving alone
