This Grey room,
This bunker,
The air is humming
us to sleep

While outside,
the city hurries;
the endless worries
are out of reach

Promise me we'll never leave this room,
a million years from now would be too soon.

The world is spinning turning day to night
and my thoughts are running at the speed of light
Got an empty feeling that I never want to fill
absolutely still
I waited longer 'cause I needed proof
that every door I shut is leading me to you
and there's a nervous feeling that i never want to kill
absolutely still

We were running
from the same noise,
We were stuck in
the same pursuit

Now the door's locked
and I find that
the dizzy madness
is bleeding through

Promise me you'll never leave this room,
a million years from now would be too soon.

The world is spinning turning day to night
and my thoughts are running at the speed of light
Got an empty feeling that I never want to fill
absolutely still
I waited longer 'cause I needed proof
that every door I shut is leading me to you
and there's a nervous feeling that I never want to kill
absolutely still

Promise me you'll never leave this room,
a million years from now would be too soon.

The world is spinning turning day to night
and my thoughts are running at the speed of light
Got an empty feeling that I never want to fill
absolutely still
I waited longer 'cause I needed proof
that every door I shut is leading me to you
and there's a nervous feeling that I never want to kill
absolutely still

I'll go anywhere you want tonight
'cause my head is spinning like a satellite
I got a restless feeling that I never want to fill
I'm absolutely still

. . .


It's a lot like fire.
taking that the first step on to the street.
The whole night before you, spreading out
like a techno colored dream.
So take this city into your arms and hold it
like a kiss.
Don't it feel like flying, darling, what could
be better than this.
Turn up the bright lights, light up the world
tonight.
Shine like the stars shine above and sail away.
Turn up the bright lights....
On a Paris morning, long before the sun was debt
to rise. Walking on the river, reflecting diamonds
in your eyes.
so take this city and catch your breath, and listen to
yourself. Cause you move like music, darlin' in a moment
you'll be gone.
Turn up the bright lights, light up the world tonight
shine like the stars shine. Turn on the mystery

. . .


If you could change the choices that you made,
would you do it- today?
If you could spin the world the other way,
could you do it on faith?
If time would stand still,

What would you do? What would you say?
If everyone you love came back for just one day?
How would it feel if every dream came real?
and all the scars you have fade away
for just one day

Imagine all the times you that could take back
What would you have done differently?
Thoughts in your head you never said
or a heart that you broke and left for dead
If all the pain you had could be released
How life flies by.

What would you do? What would you say?
If everyone you love came back for just one day
How would if feel if every dream came real
and all the scars you have fade away?

for just one day

and the night
all the good times and the fights
all the take and the give
all the moments that we never got to live
Ohhh.....

What would you do? What would you say?
if everyone you love came back for just one day
how would it feel if every dream came real
and all the scars you have fade a way

repeat

For just one day (x's 2)

If you could change the choices that you made,
would you do it- today?

. . .


Tell me I'm wrong, you sense a little bit of change.
You knew all along there'd come a day you'd have to face.
I hear a loud voice in my head, for all the things I never said.
So tell me who's gonna love me loveless, who's gonna love me loveless,
Who gonna love me loveless?
When your gone.
What can I say, you pick this wreck up off the ground.

. . .


[Chorus]
All in, All in
You got me all in
Crank the music up
Let it never end
All in, All in
You got me all in
Til the sun come up
And we start again.

? likes Peter
Peter likes Paul
She caught em making out
In the cubicle
She ran and told her girlfriend
To cause a bit of fuss
Then she took another hit
On the pixie dust.

[Chorus]

We're banging on the ceiling
We jumping on the floor
A very angry neighbor
Breaking down the door
Everyone is quiet
As he begins to shout
But we say "easy man
We can work it out".

[Chorus]

Are you having a good time
I said are you having a good time
Tell it to your mother

The moral to the story
There isn't really one
The bottom of the line
Is to have a bit of fun

[Chorus]

Are you having a good time
I said are you having a good time
Tell it to your lover
Right mate, is that your mother?

[Chorus]

Til the sun come up
And we start again
Til the sun come up
And we start again
Til the sun come up
And we start again

I haven't felt you for a while
I haven't had much opportunity to smile
I see you in the eyes of couples passing by
As soulmates kiss, the innocence,
Too long I've been denied.

[Chorus]
Hey love, where you going
Hey love, how you been
I wish you'd stay a little longer
No, that's ok, I understand
Maybe another day
Hey love, old friend,
There you go again.

I found a photo and you were there
Captured in our faces
Just before you disappeared
It was nice to know you, if only for a while
To come and go with a sweet hello
And a bittersweet goodbye.

[Chorus]

I don't know where I am
I don't know
I don't know where I am

And if every new beginning
Is just another's end
Tell me love, why should i begin
Again.

[Chorus]

There you go again
Can you come back?
Can you come back love?
Can you come back?
Can you come back love?

I can't tell you why
The struggle to survive
Falling so hard
And all my senses lie
I can't believe my eyes
Keep on moving
With all the blood that i can give
I choose to live

[Chorus]
Tell me why we bother
Hurting one another
With nothing left to gain
How do you explain
Striking down my brother
Lying to a lover
Left with what remains
We are wounded
We are wounded

I can not disguise
The weight i feel inside
Some great ocean
But if love could be blind
With no more compromise
What might happen
Could you make the choice to live
Or to forgive

[Chorus]

We are wounded

With all the blood that I can give
With all the blood that I can give
I chose to live

[Chorus]

We are wounded
We are wounded

. . .


When you walk in the noise dissapears
Where you begin is perfectly clear
All this time I felt so confused
Then came you and I just knew

Well I fell out when you picked up the phone
When we'd go out, yeah, it'd feel just like home
Do you think that I'm alright
Shining through and I just knew
And I just knew

There's something I've been meaning to ask you
How about making it for real
Something changed but I just knew
And I just knew

There's something I've been meaning to ask you
How about doing it for life
Something changed and I just knew
And I just knew
And I just know
Oh yeah and I knew

Come around and see me tonight, Darlin'
Come around and make it all right
Come around and see me tonight
Come around and make it all right, Darlin'
