Skyscraping

What a state to be in

It's a world of indecision

So self destructive

And such an ugly business



In and out of fashion

You always leave your mark

An indefinite decision

A dangerous remark



** when you're cold and tired

Don't turn your head away

The distance that's between us

Gets bigger every day



* how come you never see

You're as faraway as faraway can be

You're as faraway as faraway can be



You try so hard to impress

You talk the telephone to death

It's what you can't see that counts

But you haven't worked that out yet



There is no reason

There is no plan

The truth can be deceptive

From such a quiet man



There's madness in your words

Not wishing to be heard

But just like yesterday

You've already slipped away



(* repeat)

(** repeat)

(* repeat)



You're as faraway as faraway

As faraway as faraway

As faraway as faraway

As faraway as faraway

As faraway as faraway

As faraway from me as you can be

I would walk away from you

If that's what you wanted

But when you look for something new

You can be so disappointed



* it's funny how it used to be

Me for you and you for me

I wish i knew why people change

Suddenly



** will we ever be the same again

Stranger things have happened

Will we ever feel this way again

Whatever will be will be



We were learning to be human

But it doesn't take a degree

To know that what you're looking for

Is not always what you see



(* repeat)

(** repeat two times)



Eternally



Sha la, sha la la

Sha la, sha la la

Sha la, sha la la

I was tired of letting her

Taking me for what she could get

Smoking me down

Like her last cigarette



See, luck's a dime in dozen

In a thousand different places

Every country cousin's

Holding five sweet aces

All of a sudden

Love shines down on me



* kissing you

Is like the angels kissing heaven

When i roll those dice

I swear i'm rolling sevens

I'll do whatever you want

Whatever you say

Everything's going our way



Poets and philosophers

Can say what they like

But they've never been to your place

After the clock strikes midnight



Zooming in on you

Brought me into focus

All the wild cards

Start turning into jokers

All of a sudden

Love rains down on me



(* repeat 2 times)



Oh yeah, going our way

Rolling sevens, rolling sevens

Everything's going our way

When i'm high, you're low

When i'm up, you're down

And we're never around

When we need each other



Back stabbing

You know that i bleed

I just know you'll disagree



* ask a thousand times

A thousand times i'll see no

Love is never blind

Though sometimes you might think so

Ask a thousand times

A thousand times you'll hear me say

Love is like a weapon

When you're back stabbing me



When i'm weak, you're strong

When i'm all right, you're all wrong

And we don't get along

Anymore



Back stabbing

You know where that leads

I just know you'll disagree



(* repeat two times)



When i'm high, you're low

When i'm weak, you're strong



(* repeat two times)

** sitting watching stars exploding

Building blocks that make

This world go round

On some distant planet cluster

Future gazing, no sight or sound

Sitting godlike mother nature

Now immortal, on my own

Light years from home



* light years from home

Light years from home



Crimson shades of evening glimmer

Across the counts of earth below

Shield your love like buried treasure

And all the secrets that you hold

Let them go



And as the daylight

Brings the morning

I reach out for you

Anaesthetic for the heartache

Now i'll never feel alone

Light years from home



(* repeat 2 times)

(** repeat)

Elegant faces

Won't you stand aside

I'm only looking for the real ride

Now's not the time

To run away and hide



* i've got no time for fakers

Only the best will do

Looking through my eyes, baby

It's such a spectacular view

Now that these times are changing

Only the best will do



Pale imitations

Will fade away

People are talking

With nothing to say

I wouldn't let anyone

Talk to me that way



(* repeat)



You



** ain't that peculiar

Neptune's your ruler

Awake from your slumber

Give me your number

How candid the camera

That captures the best of you

Only the best will do



(* repeat)



Only the best will do

(repeat with following)



(** repeat)



Only the best will do
