Sing to what you know
On a train or a bus
Don't dismiss which way you go
Oh no, I've changed
In a flash or a spark
My remark is always this
Buildings fall I know
But I'm here to protect all the rest from falling down
This town's a mess
All the doors are knocked down
All the paintings wear a frown
If you want me to change
Well I've got to hear it
Oh, I know
I've got a very big house to show
But I need you to see
This life is a fate unknown
I'd never dreamed of this
Promises are empty in a world of empty bliss
How the times have changed
I'd rearrange your headspace
Yeh, I would if only
Love ain't love no more
If you hit with a kiss
I'll admit it with a miss
I know,
I've got a very big house to show
But I need you to see
This life is a fate unknown
I'd never dreamed of this
Promises are empty in a world of empty bliss*2

Hello I'll be your morning girl
You raise the flag
Ill ring the bell
Hello I'll be your quiet girl
Just let me watch
Ill never tell
Hello I'll be your velvet girl, We'll leave this town, We'll change the world
Hello I'll give you everything
Just not enough
And never this
Ooooooohhhhhhhhh
Be my velvet boy
My velvet boy
Hello I'll watch the sun fade out
Just leave me with the stormy clouds
Hello I'll be your sinking ship
Just take my hand
And let's fall in
Ooooooohhhhhhhhh
Be my velvet boy
My velvet boy

God only knows what you do with yourself
You sleep all the day and you're wasting away
You beg for your food
And you lie like a dog
You steal all your moves and you drink the last drop
You watch me
I watch you
You changed me
Like I knew
You used me
Like I used you
My love shot right through you
It's a low, low, low, low happening*4
And every night at the beat of the drum
You'd kill to be right, but I know you're wrong
You drink from the heart
And you pour from the soul
You listen to trash
But it's not Rock'n'Roll
You watch me
I watch you
You changed me
Like I knew
You used me
Like I used you
My love shot right through you
It's a low, low, low, low happening*4
Alright
And every night at the beat of the drum
You'd kill to be right
But I know you're wrong
You drink from the ehart
But you pour from the soul
You listen to trash
But it's not Rock'n'Roll
You watch me
I watch you
You changed me
Like I knew
You used me
Like I used you
My love shot right through you
It's a low, low, low, low happening*4

Standing on one foot
well I could fall into the grave
Holding onto you
I stand on two
Walking through this town
Well I could drift into the night
Walking here with you
I shine a light
Drinking here alone
Is not so pretty for a girl
Drinking here with you
Makes me a pearl
Everyday is lost if not with you
Send me home, I'm tired and blue
Broken bones may hurt
But a broken heart will never mend
Swimming out to sea
Well I could wash up on the shore
Swimming out to you, I say no more
Praying for a time when I can sing my lullaby
Now I pray that you're my holy night
Everyday is lost if not with you
Send me home I'm tired and blue
Broken bones may hurt
But a broken heart will.....
Broken bones may hurt
But a broken heart will
Never mend

Another Wishing Stone to throw
You try to protect me
But just let me go
And if you throw it out again
You'll see my reflection come floating back in
And I'm walking faster
And losing my breath
But it takes me farther than here
Another stormy day I know
The clouds turn to dust
And the water to snow Another messenger is dead
He falls with an arrow in his heart instead
And I'm walking faster
And losing my breath
But it takes me farther than here
I'm falling over
And wasting my time
But it takes me farther than here
Another messenger is dead
And I'm walking faster
Losing my breath
But it takes me farther than here
And I'm falling over
And wasting my time
But it takes me farther than here

And I will wait for this moment to come around
And I will scream just to get you to hold me down
Tried all I could
Told you to move
Buried our hearts with our hands
You told me a lie
I turned a blind eye
And never a lie did I hear
Now I fear
That I will wait
For this moment to come around
And I will scream just to get you to hold me down
I'm not crying anymore
Coz love isn't love till you bleed
And I'm not lying for you now
My heart wants to beat with the sound
But I found out
Just go ahead and cry
Tried all I could
I told you to move
We buried our hearts in our hands
You told me a lie
I turned a blind eye
Never a lie did I hear
Now I fear
That I will wait
For this moment to come around
And I will scream just to get you to hold me down

Oh yeah, when I needed you to stay
You drove your car the other way
And oh me
Don't you worry about me
I got a pocket full of wisdom up my sleeve
And the night is young
Baby's no good to me
I tried every harmony
Baby's on trial tonight
I know where to draw the line
Baby, I got nothen to say
I got nothen to say
Baby's so good to me
He calls it our destiny
Baby's my second best
We're just such a blissful mess
Baby, I got nothen to say yeah
I got nothen to say
But maybe I've got something to say yeah
I've got something to say
Yeah
Oh yeah, when I needed you to stay
You drove your car the other way
And oh me
Don't you worry about me
I got a pocket full of wisdom up my sleeve
And the night is young
Call it our destiny
Shaking your karma tree
Leave all my things alone
Fruit grows for everyone
Baby where to now?
Let's drive till we hit the south
I got many dreams down there
And Lord knows I could share something
It's better than nothen
You don't care
But maybe I've got something to say
Ive got something to say
Yeah
Oh yeah, when I needed you to stay
You drove your car the other way
And oh me
Don't you worry about me
I got a pocket full of wisdom up my sleeve
And the night is young
. . .

I feel you in a crowded room
I know you followed me across the avenue
And no you can't take, take, take me for a
Ride, ride, ride me home
And I see you, I know you see me too
And it's love
Got me outta my head
Skies turning red
I'm in over my head
I see you in my wildest dreams
I know you see me too
I can hear you breathe
And no you can't break, break, break me even with
Words, words words won't end this silence
I know you hear it too
And it's love
Got me outta my head
Skies turning red
I'm in over my head
I feel you in a crowded room
I know you followed me across the avenue
And no you can't take, take, take me for a
Ride, ride, ride me home
And I see you, I know you see me too
Chorus*2

Mother will look with me
Father will pray for me
Religion will wait for me
Nobody waits for this long cant you see
Doers will do for me
What sinners could never dream
Science is in your head
Nobody hurts them selves but themselves can't you tell?
Haters will love in time
And lovers will feel their crime
Patience is all you need
That and the courage it takes just to be
One more day is not enough to change the world
But we'll rise and fall just like the setting sun
One day is not enough to change
But we'll rise and fall just like the setting sun
Yes she will lead me there
And you won't be anywhere
I'll find a quiet path
Somewhere alone where the shadows won't laugh
One more day is not enough to change the world
But we'll rise and fall just like the setting sun
One way is not enough to change
But we'll rise and fall just like the setting sun
Mother will look with me
Father will pray for me
Religion will wait for me
Nobody waits for this long can't you see
Yes she will lead me there
And you won't be anywhere
I'll find a quiet path
Somewhere alone where the shadows won't laugh
One more day is not enough to change the world
But we'll rise and fall just like the setting sun
One way is not enough to change
But we'll rise and fall just like the setting sun*3

Don't believe in the stories I hear
Don't believe in the things you fear
Give me strength
Give me time
Give me you now
Don't believe in the message you tell
Don't believe in your heaven or hell
Give me faith
Give me words
Give me grace now
I see the light right in front of my eyes
I drive alone
It's a cold, cold night
Every path bares a cross for tomorrow
Give me a sign
Give me you
And I'll follow
Walking the line
Water to wine
Changing the tide
Some Blessed night
Don't believe in the wishing tree
Don't believe every door has a key
But there's hope and there's light in the shadow
Give me a sign
Give me you
And I'll follow
Walking the line
Water to wine
Changing the tides
Some blessed night
It take's a while
To walk that highway
I'll walk alone
Walking the line
Water to wine
Changing the tides
Some Blessed night
. . .

With the lights low
I'm falling through the air
No escape from this place
I just need to cry
One more time, coz tears won't hold forever
With the noise gone
I'm chasing lullabies
Always fading
I watch, and it's no surprise
Time is still, and my heart won't hold forever
Still can't see
Even when the lights are high
That's my mind chasing time
To stay alive
These eyes have opened for the first time
And I
I can't run away
From myself
Like yesterday
And I
I'll change my ways
Someday
Someday Soon
All the lights stopped flashing red
This time I can run to the noise instead
These eyes have opened for the first time
And I
I can't run away
From myself
Like yesterday
And I
I'll change my ways
Someday
Someday Soon
. . .

I've been where the sun don't shine
I've been where the trees have all died
I've been where there's no pathway or door
And I'm not afraid anymore
Been in a place where no one believes
The things that I said
Or the vision I'd see
So I had to protect my life
And not be afraid anymore
Fear is not real unless you want it be
At a level of yourself
It serves some need
You can let it go
Or hold on till the end
It's all up to you my friend
I've been where the sun don't shine
I've been where the trees have all died
I've been where there's no pathway or door
And I'm not afraid anymore
