Hack

Well i've been thinking of the way you used to talk to me
And now it seems we never talk at all

So kiss me like you would kiss me if it were the last time
Hold me now, hold me like you did hold me when it was
The first time
But i can feel you slipping away
And i can't think of anything to say
That will turn you around and make you stay
I can feel you slipping away
Slipping away

Well i can see you talking softly on the phone again
And more and more you need to be alone
It seems i make you angry just by being near
And even when we're together now i still feel lonely

So kiss me like you would kiss me if it were the last time
Hold me now, hold me like you did hold me when it was
The first time
But i can feel you slipping away
And i can't think of anything to say
That will turn you around and make you stay
I can feel you slipping away
Slipping away

My heart is a drum that's pounding.
My mind is a note that's sounding.
Let the choir sing your praises.
I'll state my case in four-note phrases.

Can i get a witness to my rate?
Will anyone quantify my fate?
While i've been waiting for you,
Lives i've been creating for you.

I can't slow down.
Like a river i'm flowing on and on.
Some way, somehow.
I will find out where i am going.
Someday.

The meaning of life is to attack.
There's a special joy in coffee black.
When i see the red, the black, the green,
I'm seeing the color of my dreams.

My song is a tree that's hollow.
My mantra is i must follow
Where those hooded eyes are leading.
I cannot be stopped for speeding.

I can't slow down.
Like a river, i'm flowing on and on.
Some way, some how.
I will find out where i am going.
I can't slow down.
Like a river, i'm flowing on and on.
Some way, some how.
I will find where i am going.
Someday.

Well, there's a hot wind blowing tonight in the east,
And i heard that the park is filled tonight with police.
On the radio there's nothing but a man saying
To stay inside.
Well, i remember what you said on the telephone,
That you didn't feel like it was safe to stay alone.
And you would get yourself to me if you could find
A way across the line.

But there's fire tonight on your side of town,
Orange light in the sky without a sound.
Fire tonight on your side of town.
I watch and wait for you to come around.

Well, there's a faint sound of sirens tonight in the air,
And i heard that the downtown streets tonight are bare.
On the tv here they're telling me the roads are all
Closed down.
You said that if you couldn't take the car you'd walk
Instead.
It was the last thing you said before the line went dead.
And now i'm waiting by the window holding all the things
Of yours i've found.

But there's fire tonight on your side of town,
Orange light in the sky without a sound.
Fire tonight on your side of town.
I watch and wait for you to come around.

I know we always said that we were free.
I know we never thought this would succeed.
But now your face is all that i can see.

But there's fire tonight on your side of town,
Orange light in the sky without a sound.
Fire tonight on your side of town.
I watch and wait for you to come around.

Here are a few notes from the underground.
Load them at your pleasure.
These are the dusty pictures that i found
While on my search for treasure.

Here is the hazy vision that i saw,
Here's what she said to me:
For a scientist i am too raw
I know all about you can't you see?

She said don't be making no provocation
Unless you're ready to handle the nation
I'm cold and i'm bold and i don't do what i'm told.

She wore mirrorshades.
And i can't explain the thing about her mirrorshades.
But i know that i can't live without her mirrorshades.
And i kind of lose my mind about her mirrorshades.
And the strange attractors that surround her.

Remember as you bust north at her call,
That you can never doubt it.
No matter what you cannot have it all,
'cuz she leaves home without it.

But in the darkness where we both were caught,
In the heartbeat of el nido.
I had a vhs for her to slot
And now i never want to go.

She said "now you're here, you've got to show and prove,
And do that dance until it don't move.
The phone doesn't work so you won't be calling home."

She wore mirrorshades.
And i can't explain the thing about her mirrorshades.
But i know that i can't live without her mirrorshades.
And i kind of lose my mind about her mirrorshades.
And the strange attractors that surround her.

She was so absolutely digital,
To jack in now was wrong.
But cupid punches deck with chemicals
While dark madonna sings her song.

She wore mirrorshades.
And i can't explain the thing about her mirrorshades.
But i know that i can't live without her mirrorshades.
And i kind of lose my mind about her mirrorshades.
And the strange attractors that surround her.

Mirrorshades.

One last drive through the suburbs,
You feel ready to leave the ground.
You've got your records packed away in boxes,
But you don't really know what it means to leave.

Move out on your own,
You're finally in control.
Now you're on your own,
Just watch it all unfold.

Turning onto the freeway,
You can't remember why you want to leave.
You're holding onto pictures of your friends,
But you don't want to stay around here anymore.

Move out on your own,
Though your future is unknown.
Sailing under your own power,
Now your life is yours.

You've got to believe there's something inside of me
That makes me feel this way
You've got to believe that you're still a part of me
Today

But telling a tale cannot be like living it
No matter what you say
And talking of love cannot be like giving it
Away

I know
And you know
The voices are calling
Now that i have you

Whatever in the world can i do
Now that i have you
Whoever in the world could say it's not true
Now that i have you

I wonder how much of our life is memory
Remember yesterday
I'm hoping to god you don't believe everything
I say

Remebering every part of our history
A year is like a day
You've got to believe that things won't always be
This way

I know
And you know
The voices are calling
The walls are falling
For my love
And your love
I've got to keep stalling
Now that i have you

Whatever in the world can i do
Now that i have you
Whoever in the world could say it's untrue
Now that i have you
