It's the way that you look
At me when I'm steppin out
Wanna change who I am
But you won't let me be
So afraid,
So alone
Creative and amused
With this life
It's not enough
It's not enough

The sun, it runs straight into you
The sun, it runs straight into you

These moments will not end
All the things we could have been

The sun, it runs straight into you
The sun, it runs straight in
It runs straight in

You missed your chance to find another way
You lost you're love just cause you hesitate
And now I wait for love to come again
You thought that you were all you believed in

The sun, it runs straight into you
The sun, it runs straight in
Straight in
Straight in
Straight in to you

. . .


Blazing eyes like the sun was shining
Makes my knees go numb
You're my beginning you are my ending
My was and is to come

Every time you turn your head around
I'll be waiting for a smile from your face
Waiting for the moment you will come
Waiting for my love to come on that day
Knowing that the blame's gone
The blame's gone
But the veil is still on
Waiting for the war to end on that day

You are my fine line
You are my first time
Water ice and steam
My love come find me
Reason and rhyme me
Into the song you sing

Every time you turn your head around
I'll be waiting for a smile from your face
Waiting for the moment you will come
Waiting for my love to come on that day
Knowing that the blame's gone
The blame's gone
But the veil is still on
Waiting for the war to end on that day

Every time you turn your head around
Every time you turn your head around

Every time you turn your head around
I'll be looking for a smile from your face
Waiting for the fear to leave my heart
Waiting for the war to end on that day
Every time you turn your head around
I'll be looking for a smile from your face
Waiting for my love to come back home
Waiting for the war to end on that day

. . .


I put on my usual
Pack a picture from my cubicle
All I can think about is you
I'm still bleedin'
I'm still bleedin'

Took the L to Union Square
Watched the pretty girls comb their hair
They turn away as I turn and stare
I'm still bleedin'
I'm still bleedin'

These thoughts of pain
Don't make a sound
They keep us hidden
In the lost and found
These colder months, wincing social graces
We keep with us, these fallen faces

Took a call from an old, old friend
Out of money, in jail again
I posted bail and took him in
I'm still bleedin'
We're both bleedin'

These thoughts of pain
Don't make a sound
They keep us hidden
In the lost and found
These colder months, wincing social graces
We keep with us, these fallen faces
We keep with us, these fallen faces

These thoughts of pain
They'll make a sound
To keep us hidden
In the lost and found
In these colder months, wincing social graces
We keep with us, these fallen faces

Don't make a sound
They keep us hidden in the lost and found
These colder months, wincing social graces
We keep with us
We keep with us, these fallen faces

. . .


I need love that will release me
keep me honest, keep me happy
I need a peace with understanding
Trying to find a softer landin

I wanna know when I can change this
Or give it up and just embrace it
I need to find a way of letting it go
When everything falls apart

I've taken too much, given up
I am twisted, burnin, breaking up
I need to find a way of letting it go
When everything falls apart
I could try, but I'd never take it
Yell and I will never be heard
You will be my phoenix burn
I could run, but I'd never reach it
Leave but I might never return
You will be my phoenix burn

I wanna push through the undiscovered
Find my answers, leave them uncovered
I wanna speak out what I believe in
That love will heal us, give us our freedom
I wanna see what's on the horizon
Change directions, stop the fightin
I need to find a way of letting it go
When everything falls apart

I've taken too much, given up
I am twisted, burnin, breaking up
I need to find a way of letting it go
When everything falls apart
I could try, but I'd never take it
Yell and I will never be heard
You will be my phoenix burn
I could run, but I'd never reach it
Leave but I might never return
You will be my phoenix burn

Let me burn
Let me burn
Let me burn
Let me burn

Yeah, I've taken too much, given up
I am twisted, burnin, breaking up
I need to find a way of letting it go
When everything falls apart
I could try, but I'd never take it
Yell and I will never be heard
You will be my phoenix burn
I could run, but I'd never reach it
Leave but I might never return
You will be my phoenix burn
You will be my phoenix burn
You will be my phoenix burn

. . .


come inside
stay a while
make a wish
crack a smile

the stars are falling
all because
you're wondering what it's like
to fall in love
what its like to fall
like to fall in love

we're stuck in a crowd
wondering where you are
looking for someone else
to tell me what I already know
we're stuck in a crowd
looking for you to come
getting me out of this

every moment
you belong

you are trying to stall
building walls
you call us all
you color us all

we're stuck in a crowd
wondering where you are
looking for someone else
to tell me what I already know
we're stuck in a crowd

looking for you to come
getting me out of this
getting me out of this
getting me out of this
we're stuck in a crowd

come inside
stay awhile

. . .


it's getting better
so hard to tell
what is the right next thing
what is the right next thing
it's getting worse
easy as hell
what is the right next thing
what is the right next thing

couldn't tell you
I would have to kill you
couldn't tell you anyway
I would have to kill you

and you got me on my knees
right now
and you got me on my knees
again

I missed my luck
I couldn't have missed
too many chances up and down
the rain is gone but I am
drowning
I missed my luck
I shouldn't have missed
I missed the right next thing
I missed the right next thing

could have told me
you would have to kill me
could have told me anyway
I would never listen to you

you got me on my knees
right now
you got me on my knees again

I could have told you
what really happened
not that it matters
now you've forgotten
and if I get up from
this place of confusion
I wanna run straight into
your undying love
yeah you got me on my knees

you got me on my knees
right now

. . .


love is so demanding
so much harder now
peace comes from understanding
but it's harder now
you look like an angel
no longer now
would you agree there's not anything
around the heal this pain

it's such a big blow
why should anyone else wanna
know
why it's such a big blow
why should anyone else find out

love looks like you want her
til you hold her down
you used to love me
no longer now
I would agree there's not anything
around to heal this pain

it's such a big blow
why would anyone else wanna know
why it's such a big blow
why should anyone else find out

love, so destroyed
you give so much time
I really ought to know
where all this goes

so much harder now
so much harder now

it's such a big blow
it's such a big blow
would you agree there's not
anything around to heal this
pain

It's such a big blow
why would anyone else wanna
know
(I don't know)
why it's such a big blow
why would anyone else find
out

. . .


Buried in my past again
Losing in my sleep
Tired of taking history on a chin
I've been bleeding from the pressure lately

When did I wake up? Or am I still dreaming?
I won't fade out, I won't leave you behind
Everlasting love and my heart is screaming
Hold on to me, I won't leave you behind

Trying but you cannot hide
So change this lock and key
Trade it for some peace of mind
You've been bleeding so much better lately

When did I wake up? Or am I still dreaming?
I won't fade out, I won't leave you behind
Everlasting love, why my heart's still bleeding?
Hold on to me, I won't leave
And I wake now, and I wake now

When did I wake up? Or am I still dreaming?
I won't fade out, I won't leave you behind

And I wake now, and I wake now

. . .


now this
plotting the fifth
and time is running out
I know you need a friend
the places you're from
it's farther than you've come
crawl into a weed
I know you need a friend
and the rain comes down
and I am still alone
and the tide goes out again
and there's nothing wrong
but I am still alone
alone, alone, alone

lower me down
lower me down
keeping me safe in the
underground
letting me out
don't wanna go out
don't wanna see your face
cause I'll hear you shout
lower me down
lower me down
keeping me warm in the
underground

it all goes by seni ad seni
and your wake is clear and
known
when you left
everybody wept
alone, alone, alone

lower me down
lower me down
keeping me safe in the
underground
lower me down
lower me down

(now this)

lower me down
lower me down

(plotting the fifth)

Get Out

[No lyrics]

there comes a time when a man
must face the music
when his cover is blown
when the bootstraps of integrity
are failing honey
and you're out on your own

tears on your face
a warm embrace

throw it back in the sky
tell them you don't want any
of it
for the rest of your life
tell them you don't want any of it

how many times must a girl be forgiven honey
for putting out on a dime
though the make-up and the
shades to blur the vision
darling
to me you look fine

tears on your face
a warm embrace
the look on your face

throw it back in the sky
tell them you don't want any
of it
for the rest of your life
tell them you don't want any of it

no one wants an American Jesus
full of guilt and pride
no one wants to keep covering their wounds up honey
for the rest of their lives

. . .


she's got snare in the middle of the night
making all the right moves comin
she's got black hair in the middle of the night
leading all like a lamb to a slaughter
she's got snare in the middle of the night
making all the right moves comin
she's got black hair in the middle of the night
leading all like a lamb to a slaughter

when I see your eyes
they cut me loose
all over me now
you cover me now
wanna catch that fire
and be all consumed
all over me now
you cover me now

she's got snare in the middle of the night
making all the right moves comin
she's got black hair in the middle of the night
leading all like a lamb to a slaughter

I should know by now
that it won't end well
but I just can't hide
I'm under your spell
when I see your eyes
you turn me loose
I'm under your spell
I'm under your spell

. . .


sold to the man in the corduroy
jacket
but you forgot what his name
was
lived on the street in the
middle of town
but you forgot which way that
was

my situation is getting
better now
my situation is getting
better now

just try to take what your
made of
arrange it and make it creative
and take the whole thing and
dumb it down
to write a clue to the riddle
and find yourself in the middle
how much to give just
to get it out

my situation is getting
better now
my situation is getting
better now
my situation is getting
better now
my situation is getting
better now

everyone can see I've got
some money
just a pocket full of sand
running through a crowd of
good intentions
with a knife clutching
to my hand

running down the street in
barely nothing
with my arms up in the air
will you take me with you
do you really even care now

my situation
my situation
it's sold to the man
sold to the man

. . .


what's my story would you
like to know it
open ended, always spend it,
life pretended now
what is this I am looking
for
a place to
find a space that keeps me
from the voice underground

your ride away
'cause you don't understand
you ride way
you gotta get away from
them
what is there to lose
what is there to lose
if you really want to start
it over
what is there to lose
every day we get a little
older

place your finger on my
bleeding heart
I'll fall apart if you don't
come and heal my bloody
fist
careful, careful, though I am
only here for
losing control of everything
that I could ever miss

your ride away
'cause you don't understand
you ride way
you gotta get away from
them
what is there to lose
what is there to lose
if you really want to start
it over
what is there to lose
every day we get a little
older

no matter where I go
these thing will always find me
I can't just lose myself again
No matter what I say
these things will come between us
I can't just lose myself again

your ride away
'cause you don't understand
you ride way
you gotta get away from
them
what is there to lose
what is there to lose
if you really want to start
it over
what is there to lose
every day we get a little
older
