This is the last chance,
The last chance to heed the call,
This is the moment,
The moment awaits us all
You've got so many questions,
Buzzing around your brain yeah

This is the last time,
The last time you see my face,
And this is the moment,
The last chance to leave this place.
Sometimes I feel like I'm drowning,
I'm drowning inside the ground.

Don't ask too many questions,
Don't ask too many questions,
Don't ask too many questions,
Don't ask too many questions
Too many questions.

This is the feeling,
The colour you can't describe,
And this is the shape it makes now.
It's very revealing,
You crash a plane into my life
The deafening silent sound.

Don't ask too many questions,
Don't ask too many questions,
Don't ask too many questions,
Don't ask too many questions
Too many questions to me.

I've got to keep both feet on the ground
I've got to keep both feet on the ground
I've got to keep both feet on the ground

Don't ask too many questions,
Don't ask too many questions,
Don't ask too many questions,
Don't ask too many questions
Too many questions.

. . .


you are the ghost
that I miss the most
I keep on waiting and waiting and waiting
and I don't mind how long it takes
how long I wait

'cause you're my baby my baby my baby
so I don't mind how long
it takes
for you
to come to
to come to
to come to, oh, oh oh

I am the ghost
that you need the most
I keep on waiting and waiting and waiting
and I don't know why
it takes so long
to make my way home

but you're my baby my baby my baby
so I don't mind
how long
it takes
for you
to come to
to come to
to come to, oh, oh, oh

I don't mind
how long
it takes
for you
to come to

. . .


From the chaos of the game,
Life spat you out
You dont need a name,
I remember you somehow
Those tiny little hands,
Hold up my world
I put you in my plans,
My black hole little girl

There's no doubt about us,
Time is running out around us
I can't cry,
It's just something in my eye.

From the deepness of the sea,
To the shallows of the city
I travel down the phone line,
Bodyless and free,
Those tiny little hands,
Those tiny little plans,
Are turning into towers,
Crushed against the sun.

There's no doubt about us,
Time is running out around us
I can't cry,
It's just something in my eye.

Something passed right through me,
Someone came and threw me,
No one ever knew me,
People shadows to me.

There's no doubt about us,
Time is running out around us
I can't cry,
It's just something in my eye.

. . .


I'm in the dark
I'm in the hurricane
I'm in the rain
All over your parade

I act like a friend
I feel like a brand new start
But I will break in
And then I will break your heart

Every single thing you say
I'll record, I'll replay
I'm a shadow just behind
I am with you all of the time
I am with you all of the time

I an a shark
I am a razorblade
And I will destroy
All of the friends you made

So please let me in
'Cause i wanna be your friend
I will cling on
To you until the end

Every single thing you say
I'll record, I'll replay
I'm a shadow just behind
I am with you all of the time

You may think that you are free
But you're not, 'cause your with me
I'm a shadow in that line
I am with you all of the time
I am with you all of the time
I am with you all of the time

Every single thing you say
I'll record, I'll replay
I'm a shadow just behind
I am with you all of the time
You may think that you are free
But you're not, 'cause your with me
I'm a shadow in that line
I am with you all of the time

. . .


Strolling through the garden, I can feel my shadow follow,
He's a tragic little fellow, 'cos he's always left behind,
Speeding through Australia, I've become time traveller
I don't know where I've been, but this seems like a familiar scene

Back on the other side,
What's on the other side of the world?
What's on the other side,
Back on the other side of the world?

Give my heart back to itself, the stranger who I knew so well,
The image from the mirror, knows the place I've been
Strolling through a garden, I can feel my shadow follow
When the sunlight turns me hollow, won't you tell them all the things we did.

Back on the other side,
What's on the other side of the world?
Back on the other side,
What's on the other side of the world?
I'm back on the other side,
What's on the other side of the world?
we're back on the other side,
What's on the other side of the world?

I want to be
An old man,
With a suntan and a watering can,
As happy as a heatwave,
As honest as a window
Coming through the old gate,
I can feel fate and I hope it's not too late

back on the other side,
Back on the other side of the world
Back on the other side,
Back on the other side of the world,
So you see me on the other side,
So you see me on the other side of the world,
So you see me on the other side,
So you see me on the other side of the world

Strolling through the garden, I can feel my shadow follow,
He's a tragic little fellow, 'cos he's always left behind

. . .


In the morning,
When you wake up
Daytime fades up
And your make up runs,
Just hold on

It sounds tacky,
but I'm hopeful
There's a reason
That the world turns round,
Through silent sound

Set the dark on fire
Set the dark on fire
Set the dark on fire
Set the dark on fire
Now oooooohhhhh
Wooooooo ohhhhh

I got lost
Inside a memory,
When I was young
And I almost drowned,
I was found

It sounds tacky
But I'm hopeful,
There's a reason
That I found the ground
And my sirens sound.

Set the dark on fire
Set the dark on fire
Set the dark on fire
Set the dark on fire
Now

So take all that you know and stuff it in a hole,
And in ten thousand years someone will take you home,
Rewind the words in which you roam

ahh oooooh ooh
oooooooh ooh

Set the dark on fire
Set the dark on fire
Set the dark on fire
Set the dark on fire
Nowwww oooooh

. . .


I woke up lost, along the road
My body burned by the sun, burned by the sun
As I defrost beside the fire,
I contemplate my escape
Played my mistakes
Around and around and around

It's just like real life,
Tastes just like real life
Feels just like real life on the road.

I'm alive, scream alive,
My body sprays out a spark
Sprays out a spark,
burning a hole in the dark

It's just like real life,
Tastes just like real life
Feels just like real life.

My body sprays out a spark,
Sprays out a spark

Yeah let me burn in the sun
Burn in the sun oooh

It's just like real life,
Tastes just like real life
Feels just like real life
On the road

. . .


The paraffin, for the fire
let there money burn, with our dream
Oh so cynically I retire
Cos I'm not running around, running around again

I know it's too late,
I know you will miss me one day
I know it's too late,
I know
I know it's too late,
I know you will miss me one day
I know it's too late,
I know you will miss me one day
One day

So throw our fate into the flames,
Memories just weigh you down
You're a liar, yes you are,
Cos in the day your just a match, but in the dark a star

I know it's too late,
I know you will miss me one day
I know it's too late,
I know
I know it's too late,
I know you will miss me one day
I know it's too late,
I know you will miss me one day
One day, you will miss me

Sometimes I feel like laughing
Sometimes I feel like crying
Sometimes I feel like laughing
Sometimes I feel like crying

I know it's too late,
I know you will miss me one day
I know it's too late,
I know
I know it's too late,
I know you will miss me one day
I know it's too late,
I know you will miss me one day
One day, you're gonna miss me

. . .


Here comes the reveal,
So get out of the way
There is too much too feel,
An emotional landslide

Full of sentiment,
But never sentimental
I'm a lonely man,
Surrounded by people

Pack it up, pack it in
This is who I should have been
But instead I waste my time (time)

well I'm a northern star,
Here in the darkness
I'm a fat cigars
Burning embers

Full of sentiment,
But never sentimental
I'm a lucky man
Surrounded by people

Pack it up, pack it in
This is who I should have been
But instead I waste my time (time)

ooo wooo ooo woooahhh

Pack it up, pack it in
This is who I should have been
But instead I waste my time (time)

Pack it up, pack it in
This is who I should have been
But instead I waste my time (time)

. . .


Won't you come and meet me
I'll take you out for breakfast
And we'll be happy to be clinging on together ever more
Ain't that what they always said this life was for

It's the morning after
And I won't see you later
Watch the moon go down
And sun come up today
I might look tired
But I have never been so awake

And we used to laugh about growing old
Yeah we used to laugh but it's too late now

Down the stairs and hallway
And to the Ivory Coast
Meant two pieces
Full of places I will never go
But then through all the highs and lows
You never know

So won't you come and see me
And I won't make you grieve me
We'll write a letter to the government asking why
We poured our lives
Into nine to fives
And now we're dry

And we used to laugh about growing old
Yeah we used laugh but it's too late now

These are just laughter tears
They are not real
iPods and plasma screens
Read like they feel

We used to laugh about growing old
Yeah we used to laugh but it's too late now

. . .


Here comes the moon to pacify,
Here are the stars to guide me by
As the loneliness creeps through my veins tonight, I get pacified

Where will I go when the riptide comes,
A dead radio but the engine runs,
As the loneliness creeps through my veins tonight, I get pacified
As the loneliness creeps, I get paralysed
On the loneliest drive,
On the loneliest drive,
On the loneliest drive of my life.

Run and become before the sun goes down,
The things that I've done will leave my mark around,
The radio shreeks and through the lightning strike,
A sweat covered creeps out on the roads tonight
As the loneliness sleeps through my veins tonight, I get pacified
As the loneliness creeps, I get paralysed
On the loneliest drive, on the loneliest drive, on the loneliest drive, I

I roll with the punches, I slip through the slime
I roll with the punches, I self define

As the loneliness sleeps through my veins tonight, I get pacified
As the loneliness creeps, I get paralysed
On the loneliest drive, on the loneliest drive, on the loneliest drive

Here comes the moon to pacify,
Here are the stars to guide me by

. . .


Wait for
A brand new sun
A brand new star
To wish upon
Wait for
A brand new day
A brand new way
To see the world

Oh my
Wait for the blue sky
Wait for the sunshine
To clear your mind
Oh yeah
Wait for the clear air
'Cause even that old moon
It couldn't eclipse this brand new sun

I've been
To hell and back babe
I've seen dead space
I've seen shame
I know
In a shadow
Lurks a high low
See-saw game

Oh my
Wait for the blue sky
Wait for the sunshine
To clear your mind
Oh yeah
Wait for the clear air
'Cause even that old moon
It couldn't eclipse this brand new sun

Oh my
Just wait for the blue sky
Eait for the sunshine
To clear your mind
Oh yeah
Wait for the clear air
'Cause even that old moon
It couldn't eclipse this brand new
Even that old moon
It couldn't eclipse this brand new
Even that old moon
It couldn't eclipse this brand new sun
