Dream we're out on the roadway and you're right there by my side An we're taking off in your G5 baby, I love it when we fly Cause you're mighty like a knockout baby, you're desperate like a rose And you're stumbling to the spotlight and you watch the crowd grow
But my hero said, you can't hold the hand of a rock and roll man But what if I can, what if I can
And what if I look to the sky and check out the stars, how they shine into your eyes They're just like mine, searching the darkness for some kind of sign I'm building my life on the dreams you string together Like Christmas Lights
I can't wait till the night comes for that sweet blue sky Because I've got something to tell you and the daylight makes me shy But tonight I'll sing out as loud as I can Like a diehard fan for my favorite band, loud as I can
And I'm gonna look to the sky and check out the stars, how they shine into your eyes They're just like mine, searching the darkness for some kind of sign I'm building our lives on the dreams we string together Like Christmas Lights
Slow down baby, the summer is over, it's almost time to go home But don't worry baby, the nights may get colder but you're not alone, no
And my hero said, you can't hold the hand of a rock and roll man But what if I can, what if I can
And what if I look to the sky and check out the stars, how they shine into your eyes They're just like mine, searching the darkness for some kind of sign I'm building my life on the dreams you string together Like Christmas Lights Like Christmas Lights Look in your eyes Look in your eyes Look in your eyes Look in your eyes
hey baby why'd you turn away i was about to say something baby i thought would make you smile at least for a little while oh well baby that's the way it goes right from my head to my toes and you're the first to know that i've got a brilliant plan i hope you understand i want to meet in 2OO3 i want to see what the future can bring to me and when i do i'll meet you here my darling and when i'm free i'll be waiting where i said i would be my love will you wait for me what we've found is such a precious thing that's what i 'm trying to sing but before i lose my nerve i better write down these words 'cause i don't know what you heard and you know that i won't change my mind i made a promise to be true let them say that it's a selfish game but i don' t play with anyone but you
Down to the Earth I fell With dripping wings Heavy things won't fly And the sky might catch on fire And burn the axis of the world that's why I prefer a sunless sky To the glittering and stinging in my eyes
(chorus) Oh I feel so alive This is all I wanna feel tonight Oh I feel so alive Tonight and the rest of my life
Gleaming in the dark sea I'm as light as air Floating there breahtlessly When the dream disloves I open Up my eyes I realize that Everything is shoreless sea A weightlessness is passing over me
(chorus)
Everything is waves and stars The universe is resting in my arms
the pinch one inch half a head and half dead no pain no gain there's a million voices in my brain it's like a game of hide and seek and i play every day i close my eyes and i count to ten one two three and everybody runs away i'm in a bad way it's such a bad way can't you give a damn on a better day i can't come out to play when i'm in such a bad bad way purple leather makes it better a purple coat or a purple sweater clothes make the girl i know but i can't get dressed when i'm this low i'm like a self made hand grenade but i can't pull the pin i set the bait and sit back and wait then i try to see if i can reel you in little peach little blue a little water and i'm as good as new i want to swallow all of you but i'm biting more than i can chew
they walk the horses home at night right by my window they pull their carriages along busy city streets it's from another time it's like a lullaby but i don't think that i can sleep tonight so i count the streetlights i count the stars i make a wish and wonder where you are i wonder if i'll live long enough to feel again help me 'cause i'm falling out of grace i hang my head and hide my face i don't know what it is i just feel out of place like horses in the city i played the game i dropped the ball i lost another friend i gained a future but i can't see where the future ends i'd write a letter or write a song but once again my voice just comes out wrong i wonder if i'll live long enough to sing again but they don't seem frightened as the cars go speeding by so why am i so terrified to close my eyes tonight i'm just afraid there's no time no time this time they walk the horses home at night right by my window they pull their carriages along busy city streets i wonder if they'll live to run without the reins again
we're the same and you don't even know it we're afraid and we try not to show it and you're tired and i am too so there's only one thing you can do you've got to hold me and tell me what you need don't be afraid of what you' re feeling when you know me then i'll never want to leave you just hold on to me when we're apart i still feel together i still believe in a thing called forever but we're drifting apart it's true and it's breaking my heart in two we'll drive away where no one can find us it's time to leave those dark days behind us in my dreams it's always you so there's only one thing we can do
normally i'd be french-twisting my hair and selecting the right earrings to wear it's a special evening for most normally i'd be proposing a toast but not this year because i'm here the party's all around me you're there indifference has found me i know it's not in fashion wearing heartache on your sleeve but i'm here and you're there so who cares what i wear on new year's eve normally i'd be knee-deep in champagne i'd kick my heels up until neighbors complain it's a glamorous evening for most normally i'd be upstaging the host but not this year because i'm here the party's all around me you're there indifference has found me i know i should have dressed up but i just can't make believe now i'm here and you're there so who cares what i wear on new year's eve if you're flirting with some other girl tonight i'm not flirting with some other guy i keep thinking how last year at midnight you blew me away with the resolution that you made i'm here the party's all around me you're there indifference has found me and tonight before the ball drops i'll grab my coat and leave i'm here and you're there so who cares what i wear on new year's eve
and it feels like a movie 'cause i've done something heavy now i'm all alone and you know i like it well i wish i was older i could hold my liquor then i 'd blow your cover instead of my own 'cause there's nothing i can do to prove that i still love you and i think i hear my friends through the walls i'm gonna fade to black i think i'm gonna fade to black i swear to god i'd take it back but it's just no use what's done is done i can't blame anyone but me everybody's out there without me they're not even talking about me flying out of the city and they don't even miss me four days in the haze of the biggest mistake i've ever made and now i've got to get out of this place 'cause everybody knows even the ones who don't
number one camera so here i go i know this feeling awfully well i could build a camera custom made to tape record the smell of the perfume that we used to share until you spilled it on the floor what more could anybody ask for i remember you in polaroid the glitter and the glue and all that noise i should probably sort of miss you but i see you all the time in polaroid up up and away in my beautiful cliche i have wasted too much precious time pretending i'm o.k. i better get out of the kitchen next time when i can not stand the heat my feet were colder than the hebrides we were bored there was nothing else to do playing records and posing in the nude it was dirty mind so it was cool and i always thought i'd know you everybody knew the score they knew they could not trust us but i could peel you like a pear and god would call it justice i guess there's nothing left to do but live with just the memory of you i do in sixties pink and light blue
and this is the way it's going to be i gave him away and now i'm free but he was the life i meant to lead there's nothing left of me but this is my melody and why must the night crawl by like this and why do we dwell on what we'll miss i've got to be careful what i wish my happiness was his but this is my goodbye kiss he got me down and now i'm only singing for my health got me down and now i can't get up myself got me down turn around and tell me when it's over and it's time for me to get up off the ground and there's really nothing left to say but this couldn't wait another day 'cause something confusing but o.k. has got me in its sway and this is my getaway and though i try to hear you now i think we've built a wall of sound between us and though you know i love you still i think we've both just lost the will
from the moment i arrived until the day that i died i was selfish and slow too slow to ride by your side i was so afraid that i began to fade now another bright has turned to gray and someone else's light will take my place and though i'm getting used to the aftertaste you know i miss your eyes i miss your face and when the sun went dead and the moon was up ahead i finally figured out what i should have said to you then and no one is to blame but we'll never be the same there's no use in trying i can't be what i was
i hate your way i don't care what you say i hate your way i don't care and i 'm only half there so i don't care they can cut me down 'til i'm the talk of the town i'm a fool for you had to sell my soul but you were so rock and roll i'm a fool for you i hate your way a little more every day i hate your way a little more and i could leave but what for a little more and it's wicked to be so stupid man it's stupid to be so dumb i'm getting crooked i can feel it i can feel it in my bones
Why does the son go on shining? why does the sea rush to shore? Don`t they know it`s the end of the world if you don`t love me any more?
Why do the birds go on singing? Why do the stars glow above? Don`t they know it`s the end of the world it ended when I lost your love. I wake up in the morning and I wonder Why everything`s the same as it was And I can`t understand No I can`t understand why life goes on the way it does.
Why does my heart go on beating? Why do these eyes of mine cry? Don`t they know it`s the end of the world it ended when we said good bye (good bye)
I wake up in the morning and I wonder Why everything`s the same as it was And I can`t understand No I can`t understand wht life goes on the way it does.
Tell me why does my heart go on beating? Why do these eyes of mine cry? Don`t they know it`s the end of the world it ended when we said good bye (good bye)
What's that sound? What's that sound? What's that sound? You got me hanging on And listen to confessions on the telephone
Hear me now Hear me now Hear me now You beat me black and blonde Somebody tell me what the hell is going on
God save the middle child, she's never what she seems Can't blame the middle child, she's drowning in her dreams
Dumb me down Dumb me down Dumb me down You got the wrong address I'm a mortar and a pestal not a garlic press
Beware the middle child she'll bring you to your knees She's just a little child who's fallen in between Save the middle child, she's never what she seems Can't blame the middle child, she's drowning, in her dreams
Hear me now Hear me now Hear me now You beat me black and blonde Somebody tell me what the hell is going on Now
Beware the middle child she'll bring you to your knees She's just a little child who's fallen in between Save the middle child, she's never what she seems Can't blame the middle child, she's drowning She's drowning
A ring in my ears, from playing too loud I hear the ocean, I hear the crowd
Once in a while You ask for a smile And what am I going to say?
My tears are real I like how they feel I like how they carry me away
Baby I'm warning you I'm happiest when I'm blue
Now I'm bleeding like watercolors Keep me dreaming in pale blues and greens Keep on running like watercolors Lead me back to the sea
I'm just a fool I talk out of school I do things I should not do
But I'm not ashamed It's the way that I'm made I'm sorry but I'll never change for you
At least I can tell the truth That I'm happiest when I'm blue
Now I'm bleeding like watercolors Keep me dreaming in pale blues and greens Keep on running like watercolors Lead me back to the sea
Nightshade and Opaline Blackbirds and faded dreams And I'm falling, falling down I keep falling, falling down
Baby I'm warning you I'm happiest when I'm blue When I'm blue
Now I'm bleeding like watercolors Keep me dreaming in pale blues and greens Keep on running like watercolors Wide and open and blue like the sea Always running like watercolors Ocean colors that bleed for me Keep on running like watercolors And lead me back to the sea Just lead me back to the sea
Destructive, exciting, and I can't let go Inciting a riot on my radio I'm going, I'm gone, even though I know it's wrong
He's a Saturday night and a Sunday morning rolled into one With a dirty smile that could shame the sun
If I'm going to hang myself on someone else, he's just enough rope I know it's bad news, but I can't say no If bitter is sweet, he's just what I need So kiss me 'til it bleeds
I'm stupid, a sucker-- he's a loaded gun A lover, a leaver-- just a hit-and-run When our worlds collide, breathe deep and hold on tight
'Cause he's so rock and roll, I'm a tortured soul with him in my bones And he leaves me shattered like a rolling stone
If I'm going to hang myself on someone else, he's just enough rope I know it's bad news, but I can't say no If bitter is sweet, he's just what I need So kiss me 'til it bleeds
So what do you do now? You know he's going to take you down But you're addicted to the sound and so you hang around
I'm going, I'm gone, even though I know it's wrong
He's a saturday night and a sunday morning rolled into one With a dirty smile that could shame the sun
If I'm going to hang myself on someone else, he's just enough rope I know it's bad news, but I can't say no If bitter is sweet, he's just what I need So kiss me 'til it bleeds Just kiss me 'til it bleeds
Rolling down the hill to see my friends I don't feel well And I'm not happy, but I'm going to be
The summer starts and the summer ends I look around at all my friends They don't seem happy, but they're going to be
And they say life's a dream We believe what we want to believe And I want to believe in something please
So don't let me down Please place me gently on the ground It took me all this time to figure out what I need And the journey made me weak So don't you let me down this time Don't let me down
I needed more, or so I thought I needed a love that couldn't be bought But I kept on spending 'til he loved me not
Now someone new is coming in Oh god it's so sweet when it begins But I'm so bitter, what if I poison him?
But he says that I'm the dream He's been praying for down on his knees And I want to believe him please, believe
He won't let me down Please place me gently on the ground It took me all this time to figure out what I need And the journey made me bleed So don't you let me down this time Don't let me down
And I feel like I'm running This time don't let me down 'Cause I feel like it's coming This time don't let me down Oh please don't let me down
Don't let me down Please place me gently on the ground It took me so long to figure out what I mean And the journey made me bleed So don't you let me down this time Don't let me down
