Gyroscope Album

Hang up the phone, no need to cry.
I'll take you home, it'll be alright.
Tonight means nothing if we stay.

Staying here will only breed obsession, and I'm already obsessed.
If everything you see is your possession, then I'm already possessed.
Careful kid - this is not your song, although it could be before too long.

Before too long, a lesson learned; to stand downwind and watch it burn,
To the lake, wash away any trace of yesterday.

I'll take you home, it'll be alright.
Tonight means nothing if we stay.
The night means nothing.

Staying here will only breed obsession, and I'm already obsessed.
If everything you see is your possession, then I'm already possessed.
Careful kid - this is not your song, although it could be before too long.

Had you ever thought of waking up?
Undercover, never letting up?

Tonight means nothing if we stay.
The night means nothing.

Staying here will only breed obsession, and I'm already obsessed.
If everything you see is your possession, then I'm already possessed.
Careful kid - this is not your song, although it could be before too long.

Before too long, a lesson learned; to stand downwind and watch it burn,
To the lake, wash away any trace of yesterday.

Had you ever thought of waking up?
Undercover, never letting up?

I am the broken one; I'll trade me in for anything.
Now watch your temper son,don't wanna crack or anything anyway.
I let them get away.
You said they would find them all anyway?
Hey Hey- I admit i messed you up. I truly thought that you would learn by now. Heard by now.
Hey Hey- When you came aboard we won, I never said I'd chase the sun for you.
What am i gonna do?
I had a temper once. Don't want it back for anything anyway.
But now i have this gun, I'd trade it back for anything.
I let them get away.You said they would find them all anyway?
Hey Hey- I admit i messed you up. I truly thought that you would learn by now. Heard by now.
Hey Hey- When you came aboard we won, I never said I'd chase the sun for you.
What am i gonna do?
Hey!..-No more questions from you!
I let them get away. You said they would find them all anyway?
Hey Hey- I admit i messed you up. I truly thought that you would learn by now. Heard by now.
Hey Hey- When you came aboard we won, I never said I'd chase the sun for you.
What am i gonna do?
Hey! Hey!

Hate to say it but I've seen that face before.
Exact whereabouts? I'm not so sure.
I'll figure out your name come morning,
But your scent is something I should know.

...I'm not that far away.
Take control before things get away.
I'm sleeping while the sun is dawning.. it will never ever, ever know.

Take it.
Won't make it.
I've fallen asleep at the wheel.

If I had left in time we wouldn't be behind, but be careful what you wish for.
Stay here while I check her pulse - it could be someone else!
Be careful... Oh be careful...

I'd figure out your name by morning.
Still your scent is one thing I should know.
I'm sleeping while the sun is dawning.. it will never ever, ever, ever know.

...I'm not that far away.
Take control before things get away.
I've fallen asleep at the wheel.

If I'd have left in time we wouldn't be behind, but be careful what you wish for.
Stay here while I check her pulse - it could be someone else!
Be careful... Oh be careful...

I've figured your name out by morning.
I'm sleeping while the sun is dawning.

Take it. (take the turn)
Won't make it. (and watch it burn)
Oh to watch you burn... oh to watch you burn.

I've figured out your name by morning.
I'm sleeping while the sun is dawning.

I said that if I'd have left in timewe wouldn't be left behind, but be careful what you wish for.
Stay here while I check her pulse - it could be someone else!
Be careful... Oh be careful...

Take it.
Won't make it.
I've fallen asleep at the wheel.

In the early 80's when i washed up on the shore
I could breathe a little more than i would realize
You can call me crazy, you can call me what you will
You could take the bitter pill, if it helps you sleep at night

Its a long long way my crooked friend
Such a long long way back
Home
So close, yet we've come so far
So close, still we've got so far

I can safely say we feel as safe as we like
Lest we forget those who die, I never will
Such a perfect Island, tucked away in the sea
The real land of the free, do you here me

Its a long way home my crooked friend
But i do appreciate the time we spent
Its a long long way back home
Such a long long way back
Home

So close, yet we've come so far
So close, still we've got so far (x3)

A long way home

You know that window in your basement?
I used to sleep outside it.
Now I'm inside hiding from you.

If you wake up in the morning,
I haven't done my job right.
Not from lack of trying.
It's just love.

Darling, I will set this straight.
Tomorrow's a new day.
Okay? Okay.

Didn't wake up in the morning,
I must've done my job right.
Thanks to careful planning.
And some luck.

Fell asleep beneath your bed.
Been under there for days,
Okay? Okay.

You're one, just one step in front of me.

I bet that it won't make the evening news.
That I'm stalking you,
In your sleep.

Darling, I have set you straight.
One hundred times too late,
Okay? Okay.

You're one, just one step in front of me.

I just met my new replacement.
He's coming thirteen times today.
(Whoa)
Says if it breathes I'll have to take it.
Make it stay, make it stay.

What comes around goes around, oh, my darling girl.
What goes around comes around.
My darling girl.

You're one, just one step in front of me.
You'll get, you'll get nothing out of me.

I just met my new replacement.
(Just one step in front of me)
He's coming thirteen times today.
(You'll get nothing out of me)
Says if it breathes I'll have to take.
Yes, if it breathes I'll, yes, I'll,
Take its place, make it stay.

Better hope that in the morning.
You don't find this creepy.
'Coz now I'm inside sleeping,
Next to, you.

say it to the sky,
"I see it in her eye."
A weapon or a pen?
I never will again.
Say it to the sky,
"You won't guess where I am,"
Say it to the sky,
"I hope you understand that...
I am watching you go crazy.
It's revolting me, I'm hazy,
Like a thunderstorm you wake me,
With a simple compliment and love."

I shot the shit.
I fucked the fake.
That said, I can do it anyway I want...
I'm licking my wounds.
I'll shut my eyes.
I'll meditate.
That said, I couldn't do it even if I tried...
I'm still inside you.

Say it to the sky,
"Have you guessed where I am?"
Say it to the sky,
"I hope you hear me."
Say it to the sky,
"We see it in her eye."
An enemy or friend?
It happens in the end...
A weapon or a pen?
...Watching you go crazy.
Like a thunderstorm you wake me,
with a simple compliment and love.

I shot the shit.
I fucked the fake.
That said, I can do it anyway I want...
I'm still inside you.
I'll shut my eyes.
I'll meditate.
That said, I couldn't do it even if I tried...
Still licking my wounds.

I can see from the red in your eye,
I know my way back home.
Tragedy for a delicate side,
I'll turn your heart to stone.
Now that I've touched it, I will never wash again.
Trust me on this, you will never trust again.

Hear what I say,
Kill(?) what I know,
As long as you will stay,
Your open eye, your open eye.

Get to you at the drop of a hat,
I've been away too long.
Jealousy in the shape of a body bag,
I drag across the lawn.
Now that I've cut you, you will never bleed again.
And you can trust me on this, you will never trust again.

As I wait for old times (x3)
Keep me waiting just for old times...

Don't get what I say,
Get what I know,
As long as you will stay,
... away.

Don't get what I say,
(with this declaration)
Get what I know,
(a simple conversation)
As long as you will stay,
(and never mind)
Your open eye, your open eye.

Don't get what I say,
(give this declaration)
Get what I know,
(a simple conversation)
As long as you will stay,
(and never mind)
Your open eye, your open eye.

Rock'n'roll erased my memory,
I once had a book of many,
Like a tidal wave come crashing down.
Looking on the dark side bright eyes,
Cover up your ears from my cries,
I'd like to settle in but I won't back down.

(chorus)
Like a devil on the run, or a sympathetic gun,
Baby, I just can't slow down.
There's a killer in the sea, it's really you and me.
Swear that I can see the ground, even when the lights are down.

Reckoning is dead and buried,
Silent like a cemetery,
In a shallow grave you hit the ground.
Looking at the bright side, black eyes,
Cover up my ears from your cries,
I'd like to let you win but I won't back down.

(chorus)
Like a devil on the run, or a sympathetic gun,
Baby, I just can't slow down.
There's a killer in the sea, it's really you and me.
Swear that I can see the ground, even when the lights are down.

I will drink to this, and let this song begin with you.
In this emptiness, on the outside of it all.

(chorus)
Like a devil on the run, or a sympathetic gun,
Baby, I just can't slow down.
There's a killer in the sea, it's really you and me.
Swear that I can see the ground, even when the lights are down.

I've been sitting here all night trying to figure out how I felt.
Everybody else just sits... sits and stares.
Wandering eyes, never you mind - I'll keep the focus from my heart.
Baby, I believe, I believe I'll get you upstairs.

(Chorus)
Girl, you look so good in the evening light,
When the moon is right and the stars are bright.
I know not everything that you say is right.

Ain't no way I wanna start a fight,
Ain't no way I wanna start a fight.
There ain't no way I wanna straight a fight... tonight.

When I was sitting here all night trying to figure out how I felt,
Everybody else just sat... sat there stoned.
Your innocent eyes never should hide - I'll keep your picture by my side.
Baby, I believe...

(Chorus)
Girl, you look so good in the evening light,
When the moon is right and the stars are bright.
I know not everything that you say is right.


Ain't no way I wanna start a fight,
Ain't no way I wanna start a fight.
There ain't no way I wanna straight a fight, tonight.
There ain't no way I wanna start a fight tonight, tonight.

Celebrated by your soul:
"Hey sir, can I let you know, I am cool with everything",
Separated by a land that never ends...


Ain't no way I wanna start a fight,
Ain't no way I wanna start a fight.
There ain't no way I wanna straight a fight tonight,
There ain't no way I wanna start a fight tonight, tonight.
... Tonight.

Here's what I think about you and how your friends
How your friends adore your sudden glory
Here's what I know about you and all your trends
And all the times we made believe a story

Here's what I think about making face
Without a grain of doubt it's all I think about, it's all in my mind
It's best I make a sound before I hit the ground

Run away from it all
It's what I think about, it's what I know about, it's what I care about

Pain won't go away even when the drugs say, I won't regret
Time heals so I'm told, I could never be sold, I don't forget

And if I should start to wonder, pull me out from the rock I'm under

Here's what I think about vacant space
Without a grain of doubt it's all I think about, it's all in my mind
I better hit the town before the rain comes down

Run away from it all
Far away from it all

Pain won't go away even when the drugs say, I won't regret
Time heals so I'm told, I could never be sold, I don't forget
Hey Dave, you're so brave, I can never be saved, take it from me
He said, she said, even if they're not dead, bring them to me

Run away from it all, from it all

Pain won't go away even if the drugs stay, I don't regret
Time heals so I'm told, I could never be sold, I won't forget.
I won't forget.
I don't forget.

It was a hell of a climb
And I swear that I searched everywhere
But I’m damned if I could find,
You promised rain
Like a candle in the window
I must wait until the cold winds blow

Time… Time…Time…
Time... Time… Time…

I did ten years for my crime,
So tonight I think I’ll just take my time,
For tonight I sing
Of big and better things
I must sing before the lights go out

Time… Time…Time…

I’ll sing before the lights go out

Time… Time…Time…
Time… Time…Time…

I share no secrets
I know that you won’t keep them anyway,
Hate kills time and time kills haters
They look good but I feel greater hey
No way oh

Time… Time…Time…
Time… Time…Time…
Time… Time…Time…
Time… Time…Time…
