Up on a hill
here's where we begin This little story long time ago Stop to pretend stop pretending It seems this game is simply never ending Ah in the sun sun having fun it's in my blood I just can't help it don't want you here right now Let me go Let me go go go go go go go go Leaving just in time stayed there for a while Rolling in the ocean trying to catch her eye Work hard and say it's easy do it just to please me Tomorrow will be different so I'll pretend I'm leaving I feel so different now we tried to deviate We should learn to stay My vision's clearer now but I'm not afraid Flying overseas no time to feel the breeze I took too many varieties Ah in the sun sun having fun it's in my blood I just can't help it don't want you here right now Let me go Let me go go go go go go go go Leaving just in time stayed there for a while Rolling in the ocean trying to catch her eye Work hard and say it's easy do it just to please me Tomorrow will be different so I'll pretend I'm leaving |

Soma is what they would take
when hard times opened their eyes Saw pain in a new way High stakes for a few names Racing against sunbeams Losing against their dreams In your eyes, I am Stop, and go In your eyes, I am Stop, and go In your eyes When I saw her for the first time lips moved as her eyes closed Heard something in his voice And i'll be there, he says and he walks out Somehow he was trying too hard to be like them And I am Stop, and go In your eyes, and I am Stop and darling let me go Try it once and they liked it, and try to hide it Says I've been doing this twenty-five years Well I'm not listening no more And these friends they keep asking for more Oh yeah Oh but thats it |

I didn't take no shortcuts
I spent the money that I saved up Oh Mama running out of luck But like my sister just don't give a fuck I want to steal your innocence To me my life it don't make sense Your strange manners I love you so Why won't you wear your new trench coat I should have worked much harder I should have just not bothered I never show up on weekdays That's something that you learned yesterday Drive you to work so you'll be on time Your little problems they're not yours they're mine Come on listen to what I say I've got some secrets that'll make you stay I just want to turn you down I just want to turn you around You ain't never had anything I wanted but I want it all I just can't figure out Nothing And all together it went well We made pretend we were best friends And then she said Oh you're a freak They ordered me to make mistakes Together again like the beginning It all works somehow in the end The things we did the things you hide But for the records it's all between you and I I didn't take no shortcuts I spent the money that I saved up Oh Mama running out of luck But like my sister just dont give a fuck I want to steal your innocence To me my life it don't make any sense Your strange manners I love you so Why won't you wear your new trench coat I just want to misbehave I just want to be your slave You ain't never had anything I wanted but I want it all I just can't figure out Nothing And all together it went well We made pretned we were best friends And then she said Oh I can't wait They ordered me to make mistakes Together again like the beginning It all works somehow in the end The things we did the things you hide But for the records it's all between you and I |

No choice now
it's too late Let him go he gave up I gave up Lisa said Take time for me Dropping him down to his knees I chance down Take me away see I've got to explain Things they are changing in such a permanent way My life seems unreal can we go back to your place Ah you drink too much let me drink just the same People tried felt so right Giving themselves good advice Looking down sometimes felt nice He knows it's just a fact to kill to survive He's earning dollars you won't get in your life Let's suck more blood let's work 3 hours a day The world is over but I don't care cause I am with you now I've got to explain Things they have changed in such a permanent way Life seems unreal can we go back to your place You drink too much makes me drink just the same The first time that I met your friends And the second time I thought it would last We all like it a little different |

(Oh I meant, ah no I didn't mean that at all)
Here in the streets so merchanised Rise to the bottom of the meaning of life Studied all the rules I don't want no part But I let you in just to break this heart Even though it was only one night It was fucking strange Nina's in the bedroom She said time to go now But leaving it ain't easy I got to let go I got to let go And the hours they ran slow I said everynight she just can't stop saying New York City cops New York City cops New York City cops They ain't too smart New York City cops New York City cops New York City cops They ain't too smart Kill me now cause I let you down I swear one day I'm going to leave this town Stop. Yes I'm leaving Cause it just won't work They act like Romans but they dress like Turks Sometime in your prime See me I like the summertime (but hey) Nina's in the bedroom She said time to go now But leaving it ain't easy I got to let go I got to let go oh Trapped in an apartment She would not let them get her She wrote it in a letter I got to come clean The authorities they've seen Darling I'm somewhere in between I said everynight, she just can't stop saying New York City cops New York City cops New York City cops They ain't too smart New York City cops New York City cops New York City cops They ain't too smart |

You said you couldn't stay
You've seen it all before I know They sold you on their way Oh honey that's ok No harm he's armed Setting off all your alarms When I found out I hope it's you who's set this trap And storefronts rarely change At least I'm on my own again Instead of anywhere with you Ah tell me it's all the same And I lost my page again I know this is surreal But I'll try my luck with you This life is on my side I am your one Believe me this is a chance Lets see what's for sale He's trying not to give his job a chance It's never going to be It's sad but I agree The signals don't seem right It lasts for just one night and then I'm sorry that I said that we were just good friends No harm he's armed Setting off all your alarms Entranced I couldn't be there in time Now think about that And I lost my page again I know this is surreal But I'll try my luck with you This life is on my side And I am your one Believe me this is a chance |
