Baby your deal is surreal just like lightning, streakin' on Heaven still is a state of mind, where did we go wrong? What happen to those old convictions Went up in smoke Baby, while your back breaks slowly By the skin of your teeth You'll be under their thumb
Moving from this state of friction We all got stars in our eyes But you know by now your one restriction Is at the edge of the sky
Keep shining like a new star Shining like a new star Baby we better start 'cause baby we're alive New star
Shadows are still when the will has no strength left to carry on You're flat on you back with your heart attack Where the hell have you gone? The pressure and pain, all the fire and ice when you're playing a game, with the rats and the mice While your back breaks slowly By the skin of your teeth You'll be under their thumb
New star Shining like a new star Baby we better start 'cause baby we're alive New star
New star Shining like a new star Baby we better start 'cause baby we're alive New star
Dreaming so clever in all kinds of weather Where did you mention that you buried your treasure After the pleasure of givin' is gone You'll be as one under the same sun
Shining like a new star Shining like a new star Shining like a new star Shining like a new star
New star Shining like a new star Baby we better start 'cause baby we're alive New star
How can I be sure ? When your intrusion is my illusion How can I be sure When all the time you changed my mind I asked for more and more How can I be sure
When you don't give me love You gave me Pale shelter You don't give me love You give me cold hands And I can't operate on this failure When all I want to be is Completely in command
How can I be sure For all you say you keep me waiting How can I be sure When all you do is see me through I asked for more and more How can I be sure
I've been here before There is no why, no need to try I thought you had it all I'm calling you, I'm calling you I ask for more and more How can I be sure
Going far, Getting nowhere Going far, The way you are
Going far, Getting nowhere Going far, The way you are
Going far, Getting nowhere The way you are
Going far, Getting nowhere The way you are
These fingers aren't my fingers These hands are not my hands No one sees and no one cares What gets broken Not for rhyme and not for reason What gets broken What gets broken
Going far, Getting nowhere Going far, The way you are
Going far, Getting nowhere Going far, The way you are
Going far, Getting nowhere The way you are
Going far, Getting nowhere The way you are
In the river my machinery Slows to a heartbeat Echoing ghost just laid by Those who whistle while they work Out of time and out of season What gets broken
Going far, Getting nowhere Going far, The way you are
Going far, Getting nowhere Going far, The way you are
All around me are familiar faces Worn out places, worn out faces Bright and early for their daily races Going nowhere, going nowhere And their tears are filling up their glasses No expression, no expression Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow No tommorow, no tommorow
And I find it kind of funny I find it kind of sad The dreams in which I'm dying Are the best I've ever had I find it hard to tell you 'Cos I find it hard to take When people run in circles It's a very, very Mad World
Children waiting for the day they feel good Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday Made to feel the way that every child should Sit and listen, sit and listen Went to school and I was very nervous No one knew me, no one knew me Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson Look right through me, look right through me
(Chorus & First verse) Shout Shout Let it all out These are the things I can do without Come on I'm talking to you Come on
In violent times You shouldn't have to sell your soul In black and white They really really ought to know Those one track minds That took you for a working boy Kiss them goodbye You shouldn't have to jump for joy
(Chorus)
They gave you life And in return you gave them Hell As cold as I ice I hope we live to tell the tale.
(Chorus)
And when you've taken down your guard If I could change your mind I'd really love you break your heart
(Chorus & First verse) Shout Shout Let it all out These are the things I can do without Come on I'm talking to you Come on
In violent times You shouldn't have to sell your soul In black and white They really really ought to know Those one track minds That took you for a working boy Kiss them goodbye You shouldn't have to jump for joy
(Chorus)
They gave you life And in return you gave them Hell As cold as I ice I hope we live to tell the tale.
(Chorus)
And when you've taken down your guard If I could change your mind I'd really love you break your heart
