how each of us decides
I've never been sure the part we play the way we are how each of us denies any other way in the world why each of us must choose I've never understood one special friend one true love why each of us must lose everyone else in the world however unsure however unwise day after day play out our lives however confused pretending to know to the end but this isn't the truth this isn't right this isn't love this isn't life this isn't real this is a lie how each of believe I've never really known in heaven unseen and hell unknown how each of us dreams to understand anything at all why each of us decides I've never been sure the part we take the way we are why each of denies every other way in the world however unsure however unwise day after day play out our lives however confused pretending to know to the end but this isn't truth this isn't right this isn't love this isn't life this isn't real this is a lie but this isn't truth this isn't right this isn't love this isn't life this isn't real this is a lie |

(woman whispering) - ahh, this song's called the 'two chord cool
(man whispering) - i think i'm in love "Everyone feels good in the room" she swings "Two chord cool in the head" she sings "A-buzz a-buzz a-buzzing like them killer bees" Tell me this is not for real Please tell this is not for real... From time to time her eyes get wide And she's always got them stuck on me I'm surprised at how hot honey-coloured and hungry she looks And I have to turn away to keep from bursting Yeah I feel that good! She slips from the stage A foot no more But it seems to take an hour for her to reach the floor And the two chord cool still grooves As she slides toward me smooth as a snake I can't swallow, i just start to shake And i just know this is a big mistake Yeah but it feels good Do it to me! do it to me! do it to me! do it to me! Do it to me! do it to me! do it to me! But it feels good But it feels good It feels good "If you want i can take you on another kind of ride..." "Believe me i would but..." Deep inside the 'but' is 'please' I am yearning for another taste And my shaking is 'yes' "You will be all the things in the world you've never been See all the things in the world you've never seen Dream all the things in thea world you'll never dream... But i think i get a bit confused... Am i seducing or being seduced? Oh i know that tomorrow i'll feel bad But i really couldn't care about that She's grinning, singing, spinning me round and round Smiling as i start to fall Her face gets big, her face gets small It's like tonight i'm really not me at all And it feels good! Do it to me! Do it to me! Do it to me! Do it to me! Do it to me! Do it to me! Do it to me! It feels good! |

it started with a dedication
"lost in admiration - happy birthday - i'm forever yours - blossom" fared red inside a tiny book of butterflies i smiled surprised at how when flickered through the wings flew by spelled out my name six months went by the summer lost obsessively the letters dropped into my life the same soft blood smooth flowing hand "please try to understand - i have to see you - have to feel you - tell you all the ways i need you - yours forever in love" strange attraction spreads its wings it varies but the smallest things you never know how anything will change strange attraction spreads its wings and alters but the smallest things you never know how anything will fade the year grew old incessantly she wrote to me she'd started smoking poetry! i laughed in recognition of a favorite phrase she'd pulled me in... i answered her a christmas card in sepia arranging when and where and how the two of us should meet... her opening so well prepared a nervous smile i couldn't take my eyes from her she whispered "can i use some of your lipstick?" it was perfect so believable i couldn't help but feel that it was real and kissing crimson fell into her waiting arms strange attraction spreads its wings it varies but the smallest things you never know how anything will change strange attraction spreads its wings and alters but the smallest things you never know how anything will fade so alone into the cold new year without another word from her i wrote to ask if we could maybe meet again before the spring but weeks went by with no reply untill once more my birthday came and with it my surprise but this time nothing was the same... "i'm sorry - blame infatuation - blame imagination i was sure you'd be the one but i was wrong - it seems reality destroys our dreams - i won't forget you blossom" fared red inside a tiny book of old goodbyes... strange attraction spreads its wings it varies but the smallest things you never know how anything will change strange attraction spreads its wings and alters but the smallest things you never know how anything will fade |

The sun is up
I'm so happy I could scream And there's nowhere else in the world I'd rather be And here with you it's perfect It's all I ever wanted, oh Almost can't believe that it's for real I really don't think it gets any better than this Vanilla smile and a gorgeous strawberry kiss! Birds sing; we swing Clouds shift by and everything is like a dream It's everything I wished... Never guessed it got this good Wondered if it ever would Really didn't think it could Do it again? I know we should! The sun is up I'm so fizzy I could burst! You wet through and me headfirst Into this it's perfect It's all I ever wanted Ow! It feels so big it almost hurts! Never guessed it got this good Wondered if it ever would Really didn't think it could Do it some more? I know we should! So it will always be like this The two of us together And we'll always be like this Forever and ever And ever and ever Never guessed it got this good Wondered if it ever would Really didn't think it could Do it all the time? I know that we should! |

She follows me down to the sound of the sea
Slips through the sand and stares up at me Is this how it happens? Is this how it feels? Is this how a star falls? Is this how a star falls? The night turns as I try to explain Irresistible attraction and orbital plane Maybe it's more like a moth to a flame She pushes my face with her smile Forget about stars for a while! She melts Meanwhile millions of miles away in space An incoming comet crashes Jupiter's face And disappears away with barely a trace Was that it? Was that the Jupiter show? Kinda wasn't quite what I hoped for, you know? Pulling away, she stands up slow Around her the night turns Around her the night turns Yeah, yeah, yeah, that was it That was the Jupiter Crash Drawn too close and gone in a flash Just a few bruises in the region of the splash She moved to the sound of the sea She drifted away from me So much for gravity |

yeah this is how it ends
after all these years tired of it all hopelessly helplessly broken apart he finally falls he doesn't want to think doesn't want to feel doesn't want to know what's going on says there's nothing he can do will change anything he doesn't want to know what's going wrong because he's in love with a drug one that makes him numb one that stops him feeling at all he's in love with a drug forget eveyone he really doesn't care anymore anymore... yeah this is how it ends after all this time everything just fades away worn-out and empty and all alone with nothing left to say oh it's all too big to make a difference it's all too wrong to make it right yeah everything is too unfair everything too much to bear he doesn't have the strength left for the fight says all he wants is the drug the one that makes him numb the one that stops him feeling at all he just wants to take the drug forget everyone he doesn't want to care anymore just keeps loving the drug the one that makes him numb the one that stops him feeling at all just keeps loving the drug the drug that he's become he isn't really here anymore... and that makes me cry |

if you've got something left to say
you'd better say it now anything but "stay" just say it now we know we've reached the end we just don't know how "well at least we'll still be friends" yeah one last useless vow... "there are different ways to live" yeah i know that stuff "other ways to give" yeah all that stuff but holding onto used to be is not enough memory's not life and it's not love we should let it all go it never stays the same so why does it hurt me like this when you say that i've changed? when you say that i've aged? say i'm afraid... and all the tears you cry they're not tears for me regrets about your life they're not regrets for me it never turns how you want why can't you see? it all just slips away it always slips away eventually... so if you've got something left to say just say goodbye turn your face away and say goodbye you know we've reached the end you just don't know why and you know we can't pretend after all this time so just let it all go nothing ever stays the same so why does it hurt me like this to say that i've changed? to say that i've aged? say i'm afraid... but there are long nights when i lay awake and i think of what i've done of how i've thrown my sweetest dreams away and what i've really become and however hard i try i will always feel regret however hard i try i will never forget i will never forget |
