Two of us riding nowhere Spending someone's Hard earned pay You and me Sunday driving Not arriving On our way back home We're on our way home We're on our way home We're going home Two of us sending postcards Writing letters On our wall You and me burning matches Lifting latches On our way back home We're on our way home We're on our way home We're going home You and I have memories Longer than the road that stretches out ahead Two of us wearing raincoats Standing so low In the sun You and me chasing paper Getting nowhere On our way back home We're on our way home We're on our way home We're going home You and I have memories Longer than the road that stretches out ahead Two of us wearing raincoats Standing so low In the sun You and me chasing paper Getting nowhere On our way back home We're on our way home We're on our way home We're going home [We're off home now dad.]
There is freedom within, there is freedom without Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup There's a battle ahead, many battles are lost But you'll never see the end of the road While you're travelling with me
Hey now, hey now Don't dream it's over Hey now, hey now When the world comes in They come, they come To build a wall between us We know they won't win
Now I'm towing my car, there's a hole in the roof My possessions are causing me suspicion but there's no proof In the paper today tales of war and of waste But you turn right over to the T.V. page
Hey now, hey now Don't dream it's over Hey now, hey now When the world comes in They come, they come To build a wall between us We know they won't win
Now I'm walking again to the beat of a drum And I'm counting the steps to the door of your heart Only the shadows ahead barely clearing the roof Get to know the feeling of liberation and relief
Hey now, hey now Don't dream it's over Hey now, hey now When the world comes in They come, they come To build a wall between us Don't ever let them win
Hand me down my favorite coat Show what you're made of, surprise us both Fly in the night, slow down town Brake too fast, bring us round, bring us round And the finest days have come Summer nights go on so long So high I might as well be gone
And you are magnificent I can see you with my eyes closed You're the last one standing
Lean and hungry with a fire in your eyes I'll play catch up, you can show me where it's at I'll go along with anything that you want to do Everyday I'm making ground So high I might as well be gone
And you are magnificent I can see you with my eyes closed When you come walking into my house I'll be the last one standing
If you want you can get there Night vision and I find your white doves Landing you in treasure towers And I promise that I won't look back Everyday we're making ground So high I might as well be gone
And you are magnificent I can see you with my eyes closed When you come walking into my house I'll be the last one standing
It's a dark and empty room The sun beating hard on your door Feel emotion roar within you You're flesh and blood like anyone
Make some sense of your life Move your hand and make the mark I don't know why you're so confused You're flesh and blood, there's no excuse
And the hunger inside Won't go away, it's starting to rise And the longer you hide The more you deny
And the sea rushes in The wind is howling at your back The past is always overturned It's a dead man who would refuse And twice the man to fill his shoes
And the hunger inside Won't go away, it's starting to rise And the longer you hide The more you deny
And the hunger inside Won't go away, it's starting to rise And the sea rushes in Into my world
I can feel the king tide coming All my senses overflowing One night waiting out the back Horns blow and cymbals crash
So paint a circle in the sky I lay breathless in the arms of love There's a bruise on my back And a new understanding too
Tales from my head Can't buy the book No one's listening but I guess you could Try whistling this You say you're tired Liquid as water
But you'll succumb now as I stroke your back I'm the best that you know And every time you think of me I hope you think of true romance And every time you want to leave You give us both another chance
Warmest welcome Violent stranger He said come here as he pushed me down Impossible to do In high heels walking into walls Ever wonder if you're here at all? Try whistling this And my words are ringing in you eyes
Drawing your attention to all the thing that you ignore And if I can't be near you I would rather be adrift in space And if the god deserts us now I'll turn this chapel into flames And if someone tries to hurt you I would put myself in your place
I might be old but I'm someone new she said I'm so sore that I could cry always in the night lay your tired arms she will have her way somehow I will still believe her it's the life I've been frightened of she said deathly silence and especially the dark feels like I am heavy and my spirit has died she will have her way somehow I will still believe her she will have her way one day I will come back
still no end in sight though I travel far and wide a dying man is doing time thinker, soldier terrified and she will have her way somehow I will still believe her she will have her way one day I will come back
See it anyone got my eyes got my face Sing it everyone got my nose got my blood Conscience plays upon me now Safe until my luck runs out Cukoos call, pendulum swings I thought you knew everything Lift my hands make the cross
Sinner I have never learned Beginner I cannot return Forever I must walk this earth Like some forgotten soldier
Those things I should keep to myself But I feel somehow strangely compelled Under moonlight I stood wild and naked Felt no shame just my spirit awakened
Sinner got my eyes got my face Fireball drop from the sky All my dreams have come to pass Where's my faith is it lost Can't see it till you cast it off
Sinner there is no such thing Beginner I have learned to sing Forever I must walk this earth Like some forgotten soldier
Today I am still disconnected To the face that I saw in the clouds And the closest I get to contentment Is when all of the barriers come down
The hangman's in the noose The prisoner is loose The wheel has come around And the velvet curtain coming down And left it there A suitcase on a chair I feel my weight And something tells me There's a river underground In a place where there's no one to be found
And no one came to see The oldest show in town The oldest show in town The oldest show in town
Santa's on the cross Innocence is lost The music's in your mind And the windscreen wipers move in time
No one came to see The oldest show in town The oldest show in town
And the stranger was a ghost The killer was a priest Took the first excuse Made the madness seem cute lipped On your own you'll find your own escape There are many ways to choose And I don't know which one you should take A home is all you want On the back of a truck driving down the street It doesn't seem so much But it's all you need to make your life complete
No one came to see The oldest show in town The oldest show in town The oldest show in town No one came to see
I lean the slightest bit towards you White turns into brown, light goes to black Your eyes danced in my reflection And the horse ate my trousers
Remember my loose tongue Forget what I just said I'd crawl over broken glass If we could start again Before our plans were made When the world was young The house is falling down Because of my loose tongue Shouldn't say so much Shouldn't talk so loud No sooner on your lips Than it's all over town In all our given days How many gone to waste A good man has been hung Because of my loose tongue Your skin is changing its hue Your guard is coming down fast Looks like someone I knew Uncovered happiness at last All the wagging tongues Too much information In the future now Under massive doubt The papers on the street Get trampled under feet And they settled for a princely sum Goodwill is coming down And when it rains Your well is full
Remember who we are supple and new If I lose my way you'd tell me the truth for all it's worth Lifting up your hand show me my rescue When I said, truth is worth more than pride Truth is worth more than pride Everything you do continues long after you've gone Circle overhead the view from the bed
So high and lonely Sixteen times a day he comes to ground To get some attention What I said, truth is worth more than pride Truth, it cannot be denied Truth is worth more than pride They have showered me with riches And they say that I am worthy of their love And their attention
But they still don't know the truth Everything you do continues long after you've gone What I said, truth is worth more than pride Truth cannot be denied Truth is worth more than pride
The view from the bed so high and lonely So high and lonely Truth is worth more than pride, hey hey View from the bed, so high and lonely, so high and lonely
You weightless astronaut, you sunset diving bird You cool wind set upon the branches of a tree You holding my attention, you are my first impression And I can recognize the life that I've been given
One day they will discover you Low cloud moving cross the sky One day they will uncover you Young girl wash the sleep out of your eyes
Dust on my piano, wool rest never sleeping All your best one liners borrowed from a film The thing that gets to me is how you're never free And how the spirit yearns
Your body is a prison One day they will discover you Low cloud moving cross the sky One day they will uncover you
The thing that gets to me Is how you're never free And how the spirit yearns Your body is a prison
Bright as her eyes wide in the night Why can't you see me? Come with the wind, time to begin There'll be no compromise
When all you want is wrapped around you As those saints preserve us when we're dying To pick us up from where we're lying
One day they will discover you One day they will uncover you Bright as her eyes wide in the night They will discover you They will discover you
Beside me now are strangers to my eyes They might be getting crazy, might be wise Were stranded either way in such a lonely place I'm looking out for you among the flies That wait in line for days on end And nights so cold and always so intense
I try to reach the top most every day In hope I turn my face up to the sky The cover hangs so low, I see no sign of life Nothing springs to mind Among the flies that wait in line For days on end and nights so cold, always so intense
Here we are There's a smile between us and it's going on
You and me have always gotten through Anyone can tell you that it's true You feel it every time, you drive away from home The headlights hypnotize and they take you off towards the sea Into the night, you run away with thoughts you cannot hide
Vacant eyes can't describe my hunger For your billowing arms
Mother, I can't help thinking of you Take this dull ache away
Totally wired and the game is up, I'm under the table You carry my heart in the palm of your hand As the clouds roll in, the party was rained out, open up to find A man made home and by four o'clock When the sun came out, we were beside ourselves
Taking the rest of the day off Lying out the back Slung in a hammock and gathering reams Of space and time
Two eyes that surrender the call Might come, fire my anger and spoil the whole thing Not much fun when the pressure's on And your luck has gone but you squeeze my hands
We're taking the rest of the day off We like to climb the rock Before we have lunch and we'll turn our backs On the whole damn bunch
You find the answer walking the dog down the south of Piha Over and done, not a lot to say when the man calls up The line goes dead and you're yesterday's news I couldn't care less now, I'm here with you We're the only ones left and we're flat on our backs
Taking the rest of the day off You find it don't add up to much When you're wrapped in a blanket of stars With the one you love, hey
Like two shiny dogs, hey With the one you love, hey, hey
Take it down, mess it up, light a match, make a fire Walk away as the money burns, it might just save your life I play the happenstance, oh, I see my fortune fly Sometime you lift it up, another long day goes by
And I won't travel into the straw daylight desire I wrote that some Eskimo gave me the line
Sit back and watch the money burn, five days in a hot house hell Once you're gone there's no return but I never wanna let you lie+ 0.50 I want my love to burn, hotter than a comet's tail I want my bed to cry, I never wanna let you down
And I won't travel into the straw daylight desire I wrote that some Eskimo gave me the line
And all I ever do is therapy, one on one, one on one And you and I, we might want the same thing, one on one, one on one I don't want a teacher to remind me, one on one, one on one Well , how to get something better out of my life, life, life, yeah
I play the happenstance, well, I see my fortune fly Every time you lift the cup and another long day goes by
And I won't travel into the pale moonlight desire I wrote that some Eskimo gave me the line
Your freedom, wow it's so precious that it makes me hurt I learnt that my teachers were my loneliness And wisdom can be passed on by the one who's left Your freedom, it's so precious that it makes it work
Wherever you are Its 3am and I'm awake Imagine the light Upon her blue transparanet face True coloured glass It filters down to warm the street Faded
I'm the one who leads your mind See my life in your design True companion at your side
Gracious and good When all around is turning bad Restless and rave When laid upon suburban grass Your timing is right Remove the sad persistent thought Hold the cause
Well I'm the one who reads your mind See my life in your design True companion at your side
I'll give you something When I'm not around To make you smile Outside that wasteland And if only I can make it through If you think it then it must be true
