Open the door to me It's raining outside Drenched in life's misery tonight This lonely night Day for day With the stars falling at our feet All the time We were living down on easy street She won't be home tonight Because our luck has changed And nothing stays the same
When the sky falls down Does it make a sound On the other side of town So we live with less Love and happiness On the other side of town
I cry to sleep Wondering who Cradles you softly and true Day for day With the stars falling at our feet All the time We were living down on easy street
She won't be home tonight Because our luck has changed Nothing stays the same
When the sky falls down Does it make a sound On the other side of town So we live with less Love and happiness On the other side of town
You think you know what makes me happy You think you know what makes me cry You think you know everything about me Well from the horse's mouth it's lies You say you know the situation You say you understand just why You know shit about absolutely nothing You're gonna get no clues from this guy
You should think about not faking all the time Discretion is a word that's always on my mind
Don't make me listen I just can't listen 'Cause it brings me down, you're such a clown Just take that red nose off your face Don't you feel ashamed, don't you feel disgraced
You're afraid to admit to being guilty You're afraid to stare at your face And you pretend that life is always rosy Wake up and join the human race
How can you honestly say you love me When you can't even love yourself You think your word is gospel now You're just repeating past opinions
You should think about not faking all the time Discretion is a word that's always on my mind
Don't make me listen I just can't listen 'Cause it brings me down, you're such a clown Just take that red nose off your face Don't you feel ashamed, don't you feel disgraced
Well you should think about not faking all the time Discretion is a word that's always on my mind
Don't make me listen I just can't listen 'Cause it brings me down, you're such a clown Just take that red nose off your face Don't you feel ashamed, don't you feel disgraced
If you take a ride on a plane or a train You know you're going somewhere but is it in vain Oh tell me Please tell me Catch a staring glance at the man on the ground Do you think his life has been lost or found Please tell me Oh tell me
Is anybody out there Can you find it in your heart to care Do you find it the same
In your life, you must help yourself If you don't There will be no one else You've got to save yourself, you know, you know
If you want the apple of your eye You've gotta make a move Give it one more try Then savor the flavor
Got to get up, got to feel the day Make a strong move Make it all go your way Baby, not just maybe
Is anybody out there can you find it in your heart to care Do you find it the same
In your life, you must help yourself If you don't There will be no one else You've got to save yourself, you know, you know
Would you rather the feeling Of no feeling at all A soundless sea that slips toward The morning shore, where you stand transfixed Void of emotion, no clue of a notion Transfixed like a stone Enthralled by the feeling of no feeling at all
Pushed by my sail I am moved by the whale As he floats through life's seas He seems always at ease Show me how
Centurions guard the finely-tuned sensors That tremble at the slightest onset of stirrings Which switch the dampers to absorb the emotion And trigger the filter that screens out Time and passing
Transfixed like a stone Enthralled by the feeling of no feeling at all
Pushed by my sail I am moved by the whale As he floats through life's seas He seems always at ease Show me how
What ya gonna do when it hits the fan Open your mind, make a brand new plan Do you realize that it's in your head Wanna understand but refuse instead If you take a deep breath and inhale Maybe you can understand the whale We either comprehend or we seem to fail
Pushed by my sail I am moved by the whale As he floats through life's seas He seems always at ease Show me how
No money no pride Stick your finger in your eye It's all a joke, it's just a ride Save it for another guy Kick yourself in the head Pretty soon you will be dead Get yourself another job Don't become another slob Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Why don't you get a life
Nothing is a guarantee Don't hide your face, don't beg and plead Being sorry for yourself Put another record on You're the answer, you're the cause You're just another perfect flaw I'm just as scared as you, you know But trying all the same
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Why don't you get a life Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Cheap talk won't get you far Slandering in whiskey bars Face the facts, the truth's inside If you want peace, don't try and hide
You don't have to worry
'Cause everything's alright You don't have to worry We've made it through the fight You don't have to hurry 'Cause harmony's in sight You don't have to worry Just trying to feel alright
Hey
In the end we're all afflicted In the end we're all addicted In the end we're junkies too Unless you have a point of view Swallow pride, it swallows you Take that stride, I'll guide you through Who's gonna help us in the end Not your brother, not your friend
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Why don't you get a life Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Fear is just a crying shame Work it out or go insane Think about the world instead 'Cause if you don't We'll all be dead
You don't have to worry 'Cause everything's alright You don't have to worry We've made it through the fight You don't have to worry 'Cause harmony's in sight You don't have to worry I'm trying to shake the plight
Well I've been dreaming of a change that would take place Where all of God's creatures would love the human race
Hey, oh, oh, oh, why don't you get a life Oh, oh, oh
Being wealthy isn't bad Despising it is what's so sad Make a move You've got a choice Do something useful With your voice
You don't have to worry Cause everything's alright You don't have to worry We've made it through the fight You don't have to hurry Cause harmony's in sight You don't have to worry Just trying to feel alright
We are a rock revolving Around a golden sun We are a billion children Rolled into one So when I hear about The hole in the sky Saltwater wells in my eyes We climb the highest mountain We'll make the desert bloom We're so ingenious We can walk on the moon But when I hear of how The forests have died Saltwater wells in my eyes
I have lived for love But now that's not enough For the world I love is dying (And now I'm crying) And time is not a friend (No friend of mine) As friends we're out of time And it's slowly passing by..yyy...yyy...yyy Right before our eyes
We light the deepest ocean Send photographs of Mars We're so enchanted by How clever we are Why should one baby Feel so hungry she cries Saltwater wells in my eyes
I have lived for love But now that's not enough For the world I love is dying (And now I'm crying) And time is not a friend (No friend of mine) As friends we're out of time And it's slowly passing by..yyy...yyy...yyy Right before our eyes
We are a rock revolving Around a golden sun We are a billion children Rolled into one What will I think of me The day that I die Saltwater wells in my eyes
Hate city rivals first pulse and then freakola Dreaming of redemption, no end To the living edit, the sound of amputation Or the centrifugal pull of an endless bend Until you shoot, shoot that rebel king down There's a shimmering dog sayin' danger what's at work here The in growing twitch of faceless laughter A cause without end to serve forever The missionary madness of the sacrificial lamb
Until you shoot, shoot that rebel king down Not until you shoot, shoot that rebel king down Until you shoot, shoot that rebel king down Not until you shoot, shoot that rebel king down
On the hero's tomb is written Not what he was, but what he should've been And nothing you can do will change the circumstances Just a mild infuriation with statistics of sin
Until you shoot, shoot that rebel king down Not until you shoot, shoot that rebel king down Until you shoot, shoot that rebel king down Not until you shoot, shoot that rebel king down
A circular lie in a calibrated order Weathering time with salt 'n' water Tears that you cry are your endeavor To break into the madness of imaginary lines, until
You shoot, shoot that rebel king down Not until you shoot, shoot that rebel king down 'Til you shoot, shoot that rebel king down Not until you shoot, shoot that rebel king down 'Til you shoot, shoot that rebel king down Not until you shoot, shoot that rebel king down
Because of things remembered, nothing changes We simply follow Rhythms that are distant echoes Ancestors turning in their sleep Silhouetted on the future, playful figures that cut Across the winking eye of God's projector A partial eclipse of the original light that Emanates in all directions So that darkness isn't pierced but rather Forced to retreat Pushed out by its own internal explosion The screen of God's movie is time expanding And every atom is a solid globular mirror in which His grotesque anamorphic grin splits the darkness Everywhere our world's expanding Journeys through the soul Past all thought and understanding Science or control
Looking into the future Is looking at the past In whichever direction you happened to face You were forward and I was slipping back In the time it takes for the light of the -stars- To stir-the retina-rods and cones History's in the beholder's eye A fait accompli dans une autre endroit The further away we are, the farther back we see, Unless we could gaze, instantly across the sound Where, moored like ships, planets anchored Swing and sway-golden barges Laden down with mist and frozen crystals Dancing away
Everywhere our world's expanding Journeys through the soul Past all thought and understanding Science or control
You say you've got problems I've got them myself But you depend on me to help you out Please, let me be Some people tell me you're moving away I've been assured that you're going to stay...
So please let me be Please let me be
Some people tell me you're moving away I've been assured that you're going to stay...
Jesse's in a new low rider outside Frank's Drive-in He's there with Juanita and the gang but nodding out again Jesse you're a fool to yourself 'cause you won't stop You can't take it with you Jesse you're losing yourself Ooh....Don't be a fool again There may not be a next time Ooh....Don't be a fool again...Jesse
Jesse, there's a whole world out there that you can't ignore But nickel bags and chrome-lined cars is that all that you are? Jesse, you can't get their respect if you don't stop you don't even want to Jesse, you're losing yourself
Ooh....Don't be a fool again There may not be a next time Ooh....Don't be a fool again...Jesse

You say you love me, but I think you're wrong We've had times in the past when we weren't so strong Well, I don't know which way to turn And I don't know which way to turn The times have changed, I can read your face There's been so many lies and no tears with your cries Well I don't know which way to turn And I don't know which way to turn
I've been ashamed for so many years I don't know how to cope when you bring out the tears And I don't know which way to turn 'Cause I don't know which end to burn
I love you more than a man could say We've been through a lot gone our sep'rate ways 'Cause I don't know which way to turn And I don't know which way to turn
I said I love you, well, I do I don't know whether I'm wrong or whether I'm right or which way to turn And I don't know which way to turn
When I wake up in the morning with the sun above my head I pull the blinds down slowly The room seems almost dead And I'm lonely, and I'm on my own again Yes, I'm lonely, and I'm on my own again
I get up quickly, like a flash of light I put my clothes on, neat and right I work all day, I work at night When do I find out what I'm doing right?
And I'm lonely, and I'm on my own again Yes, I'm lonely, and I'm on my own again
The time has come when I need to change I don't know what to do I'm really restless My nerves are breaking The lying feeling's coming through
And I'm lonely, and I'm on my own again Yes, I'm lonely, and I'm on my own again
*Ever since you've been leaving me I've been wanting to cry Now I know how it feels for you I've been wanting to die But it's much too late for goodbyes Yes it's much too late for goodbyes
Time has gone since I've been with you We've been starting to lie Now it seems you don't care for me I don't understand why But it's much too late for goodbyes Yes it's much too late for goodbyes
Ever since you've been far away I've been wanting to fly Now I know what you meant to me I'm the one who should cry And it's much too late for goodbyes Yes it's much too late for goodbyes
Take me home for the ride I won't be alone Take me home for the ride You won't be alone We won't be alone tonight I am standing in the shadows of the garden Confessing to the pale moon above If I tell you how I feel You might harden I'm scared of being lonely And of dying without love
Take me home for the ride I won't cry alone Take me home for the ride You won't cry alone We won't cry alone tonight
I need everything I know you could provide me But every time I love the flower dies There's a darkness in the air That seems to guide me If you want to see the heartache You can look into my eyes
Take me home for the ride I won't die alone Take me home for the ride You won't die alone We won't die alone tonight
Sometimes our emotions make it hard For us to see that At the heart of loving is respect and honesty And sometimes I'm afraid that I give Less than I should give But this time I will hold you For as long as I live
I won't die alone You won't die alone We won't die alone tonight
Heaven help the soul that's severed From the place where it belongs caught up in the mindless struggle Of the weak against the strong Headlights along the border Keep the peace, their law and order
Why can't we see it's all a record of lies It's their kind of strength It's their only defense An imaginary line
Just a kid and his younger brother Headed for the wire Had no rights in the telescopic sights Of the vigilante's rifle fire
And now he's buried on the border Where the rivers are blood not water
Why can't we see it's all a record of lies (Why can't we see) It's their kind of truth It can only be proved With imaginary lines
In times like these concerning Who decides which bridge is burning Don't fall for-map reading Just make sure that you're still breathing
After the lines were drawn, the children would dream of the pearls and how beautiful they were. Year after year they would dive to the bottom of the lagoon hoping that the oysters would come back. They risked everything-their homes, families and meager possessions-to search for the pearls. To make sure they were heavy enough to reach the bottom, the children tied stones to their backs. Many of them died, streams of blood and broken bodies rose to the surface of the lagoon...and the lagoon cried.
Why can't we see it's all a record of lies (Why can't we see) It's their kind of strength Their only defense An imaginary line
Why can't we see it's all a record of lies (Why can't we see) It's their kind of truth It can only be proved With imaginary lines
