I think that I would like
To invite everyone I've known Dead and alive To a street where we can be Finally free Well, they would come in droves Wearing their hearts on their sleeves, oh no How good it felt to have them worn Just like they should And everybody here wants to know Did everybody say what a good day that it was For everybody here who said what a good day it was? Did they smile 'cause they like it, Did they smile 'cause they like it, Did they? Whoa. Suddenly, we all got young Running circles around ourselves Just for fun And oh, how good it felt To be young and loved And feel it in our bones And everybody here wants to know Did everybody say what a good day that it was For everybody here who said what a good day it was? Did they smile 'cause they like it, Did they smile 'cause they like it, Did they? Whoa. (2x) We go there when we're in trouble We got old and old age made us humble You and I are alone That it felt like this, we were never told That it felt like this we were never told And it scares us bad so we'll have to be bold But there's still one thing that we need to know. Did everybody say what a good day that it was For everybody here who said what a good day it was? Did they smile 'cause they like it, Did they smile 'cause they like it, Did they? Whoa. |

Jump into that water and see for yourself, Take a deep breath and hold it in, hold it in, She's got a secret and she wants to tell, But I made a promise to hold it in, hold it in, Mabye I'm in love and mabye it's not to tell, Only thing that I can do is hold it in, hold it in, Was told that I'm a man now and I'm not allowed to cry, Only thing that I can do is hold it in, hold it in, Life is, Oh my god if I tell him he'll tell her and then she will know I like her, But good grief, I don't think that I can take this heartbreak any longer, I will not hold it in, There's a couple with a baby and it's no secret why, Neither one was able to hold it in, hold it in, Kids in the streets, yeah, they're all gettin' high, Everybodys screamin', hold it in, hold it in, Life is, Oh my god if I tell him he'll tell her and then she will know I like her, But good grief, I don't think that I can take this heartbreak any longer, I will not hold it in, _______________________________________________________________ If there's a god he's embarassed and it's no secret why, Only thing that he can do is hold it in, hold it in, So I've written him a letter to be sent out to sea, I'm lookin' for a bottle to hold it in, hold it in, Life is, Oh my god if I tell him he'll tell her and then she will know I like her, But good grief, I don't think that I can take this heartbreak any longer, I will not hold it in |

There's a dead man hanging, slumped over the steering wheel of an interstate
Runaway bursting into flames And the devil was gently breathing, sleeping face-down in my Apartment, and like all his friends I'm growing tired of his games... And there's a homeless man arranging his hands, grooving to the beat Radiating from a police scanner, who said "The air was feeling good to Me, just as cool and ripe as air can be," and a woman who sincerely Believes in UFOs and who can blame her when the stars are hanging Overhead, dangling by a thread, floating ten thousand feet off the ground... (This was a story told to me when I was just the age of 17, one which God himself dictated to me, he said, "This is how all this shits gonna Be when I blow your little planet into smithereens." It haunted my Dreams like an accident on reply on a TV screen.) She sees faces in her dreams--strange machines she'd never seen Blueprints of submarines to reassemble in a time of dire need And there were preachers in the desert, waving to the crowd Dictating seven angry letters from a man up in the clouds And there were 27 soldiers telling 27 lies And a hole inside a hurricane with a pair of beady eyes A pair of beady eyes looking down onto the pavement while the stars are gathered 'round Because they all will want a front seat when shit starts going down Because the sun is just a supernova turned the other way around! There were strangers in the subway and men in limousines making deals and Swapping photographs of cans of gasoline, and there are no angels in the woodwork Or devils on the ground, and they are looking through a hurricane's tectonic wall of Sound and a man who smokes his cigarettes the other way around and she is looking In behind him from inside a wall of sound and she is dancing with the neon because The air is feeling good against her arms and legs and fingertips are measuring the Distance in the spaces in between me and you and all your friends when there's no Time to load a weapon and no time to make amends and people frozen in their tracks Staring at the sky at a hole inside a hurricane revealing... A pair of beady eyes! A pair of beady eyes looking down onto the pavement while the stars are gathered 'round Because they all will want a front seat when shit starts going down Because the sun is just a supernova turned the other way around! This is not a test, this is the real thing... This is not a test, this is the real thing... |

She recognizes the voice on the phone
But she can't recall his face She hears knocking on her door at night But he never leaves a trace She's had seven thousand nights with the very same scene Repeated again and again in her dreams: A muffled scream, and a broken fall as the moonlight streams in from down the End of the hall, it's just the stars stooping down to sing their goodbyes while a Man with a briefcase and hollowed out eyes spoke... Over and over again... Over and over again... Stranger things have happened in my time Stranger things have happened in my time |

He was struck by static in the heart
Shot by an appendage from a television tube And knowing what it meant to be showered with sound He became a believer, he became a believer And now he's slamming down chords And leading a crowd ten-thousand strong They're shouting in unison, shouting in unison And they're burning their draft cards And desecrating photographs Burnt through the heart by Static through the heart, static through the heart... A man crouches on the street with static in his eyes And takes it as a sign from the gods above To shout from the rooftops and write letters to the government He's writing revelations for the showdown And now he's slamming down chords And leading a crowd ten thousand strong They're shouting in unison, shouting in unison "Mom and dad, wake from your slumbers, We're gonna burn this motherfucker down because Sometimes we burn and steal and rape and kill and sacrifice Just to remind ourselves that we're still alive" |

Victoria approached me with a fire in her eyes
And I swear and I swear I was burning alive. And now you're crying wolf out to the moon, Yeah, is anybody there, or am I just as scared as you? And now you've given me a mission to do, I've got to rearrange the stars so that they're not as far from you. You are certainly my poison of choice And I know you've had your fair share of boys But you are certainly my poison of choice And I when I drink you down, My heart makes a sound like...This! Victoria approached me with a fire in her eyes And I swear and I swear, I was burning alive. You are causing me physical pain, It's like you're handing me a knife and from my insides And without any shame You are certainly my poison of choice, And I know you've had your fair share of boys But you are certainly my poison of choice And when I drink you down, My heart makes a sound like...This! I came down without any sense of conviction, yeah I couldn't tell if you were a bitch or totally bitchin' Victoria has been crying, I can see it in her eyes And a part of me is sad, but a part of me is having such a good time I know that likely I am at fault Oh but what the hell, I can't even tell if she's putting me on. You are certainly my poison of choice, And I know you've had your fair share of boys But you are certainly my poison of choice And when I drink you down, My heart makes a sound like...This! |

Your heart's breaking in me
Like i aint been broke before And it feels good, It feels good...we should do this more. I can't see your ears no more I fell in love with you when your hair was still short But now you've gone and matured And I think someday you'll cut it Like we cut it short. I can still see your face Although the years may have forced some change And I know I'm no longer the same And I hope I don't show it. I hope I don't show it But my heart's the same. One by one they come and pass In pairs of two we know we can't last And I hope I don't show it (oooh) But my heart's the same. Promise, Promise Sweetheart Fingers round in time Fingers round each other And all of this in time But the cold aint so cold When you hold, Yourself to me. |

..When you hold yourself to me.
I think I'll go down in flames Wouldn't ask you to join me Cuz that would be insane, it you could warm your hands, Yeah and stake out your place right here next to me. They will come from miles away, Cuz it's cold outside And they need a place to rub on their hands and feet. What better time and place than here? Cuz you've become a fire in me Ever since you turned eighteen girl And then you said that love was, Just some sort of passing thing. You've become a fire in me Ever since you turned eighteen, And the cold ain't so cold When you hold yourself to me. They will come from miles away, In your honor. In their Sunday best of sleeveless shirts and winter coats. Oh they've been waiting for this for years! You can see it in their eyes, There's a fire there. But it's not that I'm on fire but it's deep inside. They jump into the peppered sky. Cuz you've become a fire in me Ever since you turned eighteen girl And then you said that love was, Just some sort of passing thing. You've become a fire in me Ever since you turned eighteen, And the cold ain't so cold When you hold yourself to me. You, you can see it in their eyes. They're afraid that they'll catch fire. They're filled, they're filled with gasoline. Because it's what my heart desires. All these little birds, are chirping in their homes. Twenty feet above us they're where all footprints are heard. You're wearing it down, you know when you walk like that. We're not supposed to carry ourselves in the smalls of our backs. And you're wearing it down, you know when you walk like that. We're not supposed to carry ourselves in the smalls of our backs. Yeah you're wearing it down, you know when you walk like that. We're not supposed to carry ourselves in the smalls of our backs. |

And after rearranging the furniture you slept alone
You awoke to find the war was finally done You rubbed your eyes and squinted at the sun Which was brighter and hotter and better lit up The earth like a birthday cake You were amazed you were still living To celebrate this new beginning Where the grass is a little greener And the Earth is a little bigger And the trees are a little taller Due to air that's a little cleaner And suddenly.... Voices rang out from the clouds Bursting out in song Speakers pumping loud Keep on crying just to stop the water rising To your brain composed of dirt You keep on pissing to keep on drinking You keep on eating to keep on shitting Time will wear you down You clap your hands inside You were amazed that you survived And the air that you were breathing Gave you a supernatural feeling And the sound of your heart beating in time With the rhythm of your breathing Mixed with the speed of the Earth spinning Was precisely the same speed as earthquakes Building beneath your feet Awaking strangers that you need to see The collision of a hurricane and a suicidal plane Oh, God It's only a matter of time [x4] Until, suddenly... A voice will ring out from the clouds Bursting out in song Speakers pumping loud Keep on crying just to stop the water rising To your brain composed of dirt You keep on pissing to keep on drinking You keep on eating to keep on shitting Time will wear you down It's only a matter of time |
