Oh it happened at the same time
It happened just the one time
It happened - to us!

It happened at the same time
It happened just the one time
It happened - to us!

Pressed down, pressed down
Shaking together
Pressed down, pressed down
Shaking together
Pressed down, pressed down
Shaking all over

Oh it happened at the same time
It happened just the one time
Oh it happened - to us!

Pressed down, pressed down
Shaking together
Pressed down, pressed down
Shaking together
Pressed down, pressed down
Shaking together
Pressed down, pressed down
Shaking all over

I'm the only one (x4)

Father, up in heaven
On pins and needles
We're waiting on a
A second coming
A second chance
A second longer
We don't have
Nothing right, nothing left
So we should be home tonight
So we hold each other tight
Oh I will live all my life

Oh we should be home tonight
So we hold each other tight
Oh I will live all my life

Momma,
Here on earth
Deep down
I will always love you
No matter where
No matter when
I'll always love you
I'll always love you
I'll always love you
I'll always love you

Forever we don't save
We can save now
So we won't save
Cause we can save now
So we won't save

Momma,
Here on earth
You know deep down
I will always love you
No matter when
No matter how
I'll always love you
I'll always love you
I'll always love you
I'll always love you

We should be home tonight
We hold each other tight
Oh I will live all my life

We should be home tonight
We hold each other tight
Oh I will live all my life
Oh I will, I will

This blood
Is not a stranger's or a buds
It's sympathy from up above
Soakin' us in blood
And we learned the hard way

What's that in your eye
You have been fantasizin'
Possibilities
Ways of getting into me
You're getting into me

Since I was a baby
I have always been this way
I can see you comin'
From a billion miles away
Comin', comin'

Their loss your find
But no one's empathizin'
Bring 'em to their knees
Bring all their heads to me
Bring all their heads to me

Since I was a baby
I have always been this way
I can see you comin'
From a billion miles away
Comin', comin'
Comin', comin'

What's left of your life?
A tear from sympathizin'
Fallin' from above
Soakin' us in blood
Soakin' us in blood
Soakin' us in blood

Since I was a baby
I have always been this way
I can see you comin'
From a billion miles away
Since I was a baby
I have always been this way
I can see you comin'
From a billion miles away
Comin', comin'
Comin', comin'
Comin'

This blood
Is not a stranger's or a buds
We learned the hard way
We learned the hard way
We learned the hard way

Saw it disappear into the dark
All the hope we put together falls apart
In a millisecond point o zero 1
It's even slower than forever
Could ever run

In a millisecond point o zero 1
It's even slower than forever
Could ever run
There's a billion pieces left behind to share
Not a single one of us
Has the guts to bear
A cross, do you?

We can't go through this again

Plucking our eyes out
Turn into stone
Give up on heaven
Give up the throne
Give up on heaven

Plucking our eyes out
Turn into stone
Give up on heaven
Give up the throne
Give up on heaven

There's a billion pieces left behind to share
Not a single one of us
With the guts to bear
A cross or a switchblade

But you
You got it down
Or do you

We can't go through this again

Plucking our eyes out
Turn into stone
Give up on heaven
Give up the throne
Give up on heaven

We can't go through this again

Plucking our eyes out
Turn into stone
Give up on heaven
Give up the throne
Give up on heaven
Heaven

I can't go through this again

Saw it disappear into the dark
All the hope we put together falls apart
In a millisecond point o zero 1
It's even slower than forever
Could ever run
There's a billion pieces left behind to share
Not a single one of us
Has the guts to bear
A cross

I can't go through this again

. . .


Show me some mercy
Show that you care
Show you got something
To spare

We heard that you're rolling on gold
We heard that you can't get old
We believe
Almost anything we are told

We believe what the prophecy said
Those billions of souls on the edge
I'm only interested in one of them

Don't take no lamentation (x4)

Don't tell me
You got to settle down
And don't tell me
What goes around comes around
Don't make your promises
That can't be bound
Don't make your promises
That can't be bound

Show me some mercy
Show that you care
Show you got something
To spare

Longing for love
Hunting down souls
We're running out of songs to sing

Galactic tides
Will end our lives
Chasing us down in the moonlight

Chains bound our thoughts
Dreams go unlocked
So we're leaving our remains behind for good

Galactic tides
Could end our lives
Taking us down in the moonlight

Galactic tides
Will end our lives
Taking us down in the moonlight

Galactic tides
Will end our lives
Taking us down in the moonlight

. . .


What the hell just happened here
A falling out, falling out
Of favor since yesteryear
Ain't no doubt, doubt about it
What's the word I'm looking for
It starts with 'M' and ends with 'Y'
Come at me and I'm out the door
I can't let you see, see me cry

Oooooo, ooooooo
What's the deal...

What's the word I'm looking for
It starts with 'M' and ends with 'Y'
Come at me and I'm out the door
I can't let you see, see me cry

... What's the deal...
Oooooo, ooooooo, ooooooo

I thought you'd never say we're lost (x4)

I can't let you see, see me cry
So I'm marching out, marching out
What starts with 'M' and ends with 'Y'
Tell me all, tell me about it
We've got to know what happened here
And what the hell we're looking for
I've been searching since yesteryear
House to house, door to door
House to house, door to door
House to house, door to door

Oooooo, ooooooo

. . .


From the left
To the right
They reseed it
Into the night
It's not safe
Oh they warned ya
It's not safe

I will run
Till there's nowhere left to run

From the front
To the back
Oh they faded
Into black
And they lost me
And others
Just like me

I will run
Till there's nowhere left to run
I will love
Till there's no one left to love

From the north
To the south
There's a blanket of stars to count
And a lifetime
Oh, behind us
A lifetime

I will run
Till there's nowhere left to run
I will love
Till there's no one left to love
I will run
Till there's nowhere left to run
I will love
Till there's no one left to love

From my lips
To your ears
I'm taking down
Your every fear
That's what I'll do
Stick with me kid
That's what I'll do
Stick with me kid
That's what I'll do
Stick with me kid
That's what I'll do

I will run
Till there's nowhere left to run
I will love
Till there's no one left to love
(Stick with me kid)
[repeat]

. . .


Looking for somewhere safe
A kind of home base
Where our children can grow and no one will now

Let me show you
Let me show you
Let me show you where

We're people you can trust
There's no one else like us
No need for any concern, we want nothing in return

Let me show you
Let me show you
Let show you how

All systems go sister
Up in the air it's a cloud
All systems go sister
Pack up your love and get down
Underground
Underground

This is your safety net
A place where you can let
Let the children grow and no one will know

Let me show you
Let me show you
Let me show where
Let me show where

All systems go sister
Up in the air it's a cloud
All systems go sister
Pack up your cares and get down
All systems go sister
Up in the air it's a cloud
All systems go sister
Pack up your love and get down

Underground
Underground
Underground
Underground

Let me show you
Let me show where
Let me show you
Let me show where

Let me show you
Let me show where

. . .


Closed my eyes
And found you
Pools of light
Become you
This all went down
Because of you

Ease the suffering

Oh, I can't grow up
I'm just a kid looking for love
Couldn't find it here on
This dry land

Another night
Without you
Nothing left but a halo underground
It's not you
The sun goes down
With you

Ease the suffering

Oh, I won't grow up
I'm just a boy searching for love
I couldn't find it here on
This dry land

Opened my eyes
And lost you
Another day goes by
Without you
I'm going down
I'm going down

Ease the suffering
Ease the suffering

Oh, I'm gonna grow up
To be a man on the hunt for love
I'm gonna find it here on
This dry land
Gonna find it here on
This dry land
Gonna find it here on
This dry land
Gonna find it here on
This dry land
Gonna find it here on
This dry land

Looking for fossils
Lost from a battle won
In a stroke of luck
Clash of the titans
Here just to frighten us
Into giving up

No we can't throw it away
And forsake all we got
No we won't throw it away
And forsake all we got
No we won't throw it away

Was in a massive war
Of the classes or
Just a passing thought
End up in shambles
No preamble
Taken down in seconds flat

No we can't throw it away
And forsake all that we got
No we won't throw it away
And forsake all that we got

We're too...
We're too young
We're too...
We're too young
Too young
Ooh, too young

No we can't throw it away
And forsake all we got
No we won't throw it away
And forsake all we got

Don't throw it away (x7)

It's safe for us
To take the drugs
Don't want to sleep it off

We're too far gone
We'll never ever go back home
Don't want to sleep it off

We're too...
We're too young
We're too...
We're too young

(Don't throw it away) [repeat in background]

We're too young
We're too young
We're too young

. . .


The worst may come the worst may go
Not without our say so

And you can stomp on me and I can stomp on you

All the world is on a tightrope
Long enough to give up hope

And you can stomp on me and I can stomp on you
You can stomp on me and I can stomp all over you

Cause we will surrender
At the site/sight of frozen hell
We will surrender
On the last ring of the bell

Well, if you wanna stomp on me
I'm gonna stomp on you
If you wanna stomp on me
I'm gonna stomp all over you

We will surrender
At the site of frozen hell
And we will surrender
On the last ring of the bell

We will surrender
At the site of frozen hell
And we will surrender
On the last ring of the bell

. . .


This was the child of the millennium
A switchblade hangin' 'round the neck
A trail of crosses burned continuum
The path to hell blazed in a wreck

Over and over,
Over and over
Get me through the night
Get me through the winter
Get me to the sun or we'll all be gone

I heard there's no rest for the wicked
So I won't be sleeping when I'm dead
That is the last we'll hear about it
This is the last thing that we'll say

No more it's over
No more it's over
Get me through the night
Get me through the winter
Get me to the sun or we'll all be gone

Get me through the night
Get me through the winter
Get me to the sun or we'll all be gone

Get me through the night
Get me through the winter
Get me to the sun or we'll all be gone
Or we'll all be gone
Or we'll all be gone
