Something stops me from seeing too clear
A misty haze floats round the room The murmurs make it hard to hear The voices and the words The days seem to drag away My speech is sparse and tends to slur I wonder what happened to my friend to day Can't hear the words Chorus: O O Your name has slipped my mind again O O O O O O O Your name has slipped my mind again O O O O O It's hard to focus in this light I'm growing warm and feeling dull The heartbeat pounds with vicious fright There's something to remember I clench my fist but feel no sensation The walls around me spin and sway A flash back image in my vision I remember (Repeat chorus 3 times) |

I took a walk down New York avenue
Wearing my latest disguise Enjoying the perfume of utter dismay I was effectively anaesthetised Starving so arrogantly in jumble-sale clothes Evangeline hires out my throat We've got the streets of London wrapped in our beds Nagasaki in our own coats We're the wide boys Up on the streets Wide boys Ah, go on and meet me Wide boys Delightfully unpleasant With the foxy adolescent Tired of being put down Broken-hearted my life started Tired of being cut down All your illusions disillusioned Wide boys Up on the streets Wide boys Ah, go on and meet me Wide boys Delightfully unpleasant With the foxy adolescent We'll do some music plays the wrong side of nightmare Juke-box models collide The scent on the fire escaping blazing to the sun Embracing the old suicide pride I spent a few lifetimes making spinal connections Down on Einstein Boulevard I've to to walk a tightrope now the rampart is so high I swagger like a neon guitar With the wide boys Up on the streets Wide boys Ah, go on and meet me Wide boys Delightfully unpleasant With the foxy adolescent Wide boys Up on the streets Wide boys Ah, go on and meet me Wide boys Delightfully unpleasant With the foxy adolescent |

When pale turns to pink With a soft unnerving ease And all you've built around May just tumble to the ground We stand or fall With your future in another's hands We stand or fall When your life is not your own When white turns to red In the not too distant days Will force and misery Be the life you have to lead? We stand or fall With your children in anothers world We stand or fall When your town is not your own Chorus: White China White China When crimson takes a hold When the lights go down on all you've ever known When all you'll ever do Is worked out for you We stand or fall When the thoughts you have are not your own We stand or fall When the freedom slips away (Repeat chorus 3 times) |

With the chips on my shoulder Checking in the mirror As my coffee cup gets colder Stagger and swagger Combing my hair If tomorrow's not there Then at least today's all mine [Chorus] While I'm still alive While I'm still alive While I'm still alive Strutting my stuff I'm blagging the damage From coupling with headlines I was suckled on salvage The fighting's exciting The age is dramatic I'm crackling with static Just jiving to survive [Chorus] Take a stroll down the side roads, I know you want to A shock in the dark can be good for your heart, oh yeah [Chorus] Scuffling along On the crest of a wave Laughing and grafting Or jerking and working Striking a match Where life is a gas I need the flash To make it all worthwhile [Chorus] |

It's warm tonight
It rained tonight The windows are all open wide Can't see the clock to check the time Nothing is moving When you walk through me I turn around To switch the scene The room dives like a submarine I cross the carpet trying to leave Sometimes I can do it When you walk through me: When you walk through me I almost lose me It's so confusing When you walk through me When you walk through me Locations change The angles change Even the streets get rearranged While I'm swimming out Someone waves across a ??? room I take the train Or shine a shoe A dark horizon comes to view I get lost in the crossword clues Or check the time again It's warm tonight It rained tonight The windows are all open wide Can't see the clock to check the time Nothing is moving When you walk through me |

So you think it's over
So you think that down's The only way out A sad excuse for lovers With your head held high And your heart still full of doubt It's just like you to scorn The only one who'll mourn The day he doesn't love you Chorus: When the time comes I'll cry On the day you cut the thread When my heart tears I'll cry So you gave up giving And you sit and smile When the awkward silence falls Deny the life you're living Just a fleeting love That you only half recall It's just like you to make A passion turned to hate The day he doesn't love you (Chorus) Still we're here together Feeling helpless as our heaven turns to hell The taker and the giver Washed in anger When we think how far we fell It's just like you to take The step than makes the break The day he doesn't love you When the time comes I'll cry When the time comes I'll cry When the time comes I'll cry When the time comes I'll cry |

(And we talked) Just the two of us. (All the time) Nothing serious. (We pretend) Time is on our side. ('Til the end) When the scream subsides. Yes, we had it all, had the key gripped in our hands. We could see the fall as a martyr understands. When the chorus calls there's no room for hope inside. Lose it all when the scream subsides. (Chorus) Yes, we took the role of the lovers and the friends, And we played the parts 'til the words came to an end. But the tongues were tied in the passion and the pride. Wasted all when the scream subsides. (Chorus - Repeat 2 times and fade) |

Hai!
Oh mystical East, on old postcards, Your childhood dreams and energies. Your temples' gardens, old world charm, An ancient culture, torn and scarred. This is my Western promise. Oh mystical East, you've lost your way, Your rising sun shall rise again. My Western world gives out her hand, A victor's help to your fallen land. This is my Western promise. Hai! Mystical East, all taxi-cabs, All ultra-neon, sign of the times. Your Buddha Zen and Christian man, All minions to messiah Pepsi can. This is my Western promise. |

The words played on around our heads
Perhaps we went too far We'll soldier on until the end again This clutching hand around my hand So pitiful and frail Makes bleeding hearts begin to beat again Chorus: We stand in a different light That's cast upon this gigolo and gigolette We stand with a different frame around us now But when we talk we talk in time We shine with profiles so strong and so clear And when we move we move in time Won't fade like pictures that come back again Your propaganda touched my soul Those thin and cherished words A willing victim for the kill again (Repeat Chorus 2 times) |

We came to dance.
Making moves from a passion play. The ties that bind us just slip away. We came to dance. The piper calls out a different rhyme. He cracks the whip and we step in time. Standing as the parade goes passing by. I hear a voice around me cry. Like the sound of distant drums. Rejected and alone. A heart without a home. And someone said... (Chorus) We came to dance. Waiting as the panic grips my hand. Hearing prose from high command. Like a million times before. No dignity or grace. It's the prize and not the race. And someone said... (Chorus) We came to dance. We came to dance. Making moves from a passion play. The ties that bind us just slip away. "Take what you can" they said. Take it while you may. But keep in mind the penalty fits the crime. And it deals no softened blow. (Chorus - Repeat 3 times and fade) |

Move on as we step in time
Strange words from the other line Edging forward, feeling strong Syncopate with the marching song Thoughts and dreams flick across your mind Fade away as you wait for your time to go You're waiting, waiting, waiting Looking back as you head for home Unsure if you walk alone Friends call from an open door Strange voice as you cross the floor Thoughts of home flick across your mind Slip away as you wait for your time to go You're waiting, waiting, waiting |

Face in the window in the night.
Caught for a second by the light. Ashes of memories still aglow. (Only for you) Portraits and pictures you once saw. Visions in blue. Read while the letters still remain. Sip from the wine of youth again. Oaths made in silence still return. (Only for you) Cast like a shroud your clutching arm. Visions in blue. Catch aimless smiles from passers-by. Blistered and broken in reply. Breath seems to mist the hazy view. (Only for you) Tears coat your lifeless eyes with dew. Visions in blue. Visions in blue. Ashes of memories still aglow. (Repeat 3 times) Portraits and pictures you once saw. Face in the window in the night. Caught for a second by the light. Ashes of memories still aglow. (Only for you) Portraits and pictures you once saw. Visions in blue. |

We walked in the cold air.
Freezing breath on a window pane, Lying and waiting. The man in the dark in a picture frame, So mystic and soulful. A voice reaching out in a piercing cry, It stays with you until The feeling has gone only you and I. It means nothing to me. This means nothing to me. Oh, Vienna. The music is weaving Haunting notes, pizzicato strings, The rhythm is calling. Alone in the night as the daylight brings, A cool empty silence. The warmth of your hand and a cold grey sky, It fades to the distance. The image has gone only you and I. It means nothing to me. This means nothing to me. Oh, Vienna. This means nothing to me. This means nothing to me. Oh, Vienna. |

The sound is on the visions move
The image dance starts once again They shuffle with a bovine grace and glide in syncopation Just living lines from books we've read With atmospheres of days gone by With paper smiles The screenplay calls a message for the nation Chorus: And those who sneer will fade and die And those who laugh will surely fall And those who know will always feel their backs against the thin wall The thin wall Thin wall Grey men who speak of victory Shed light upon their stolen life They drive by night and act as if they're moved by unheard music To step in time and play the part With velvet voices smooth and cold Their power games a game no more And long the chance to use it (Chorus) And those who dance will spin and turn And those who wait will wait no more And those talk will hear the word And those who sneer will fade and die And those who laugh will surely fall And those who know will always feel their backs against the thin wall The thin wall Thin wall The thin wall (Repeat 3 times) And those who dance The thin wall And those who talk The thin wall And those who sneer The thin wall And those who laugh The thin wall And those who know The thin wall And those who dance The thin wall And those who wait The thin wall And those who talk (Fade) |

The image dance starts once again They shuffle with a bovine grace and glide in syncopation Just living lines from books we've read With atmospheres of days gone by With paper smiles The screenplay calls a message for the nation Chorus: And those who sneer will fade and die And those who laugh will surely fall And those who know will always feel their backs against the thin wall The thin wall Thin wall Grey men who speak of victory Shed light upon their stolen life They drive by night and act as if they're moved by unheard music To step in time and play the part With velvet voices smooth and cold Their power games a game no more And long the chance to use it (Chorus) And those who dance will spin and turn And those who wait will wait no more And those talk will hear the word And those who sneer will fade and die And those who laugh will surely fall And those who know will always feel their backs against the thin wall The thin wall Thin wall The thin wall (Repeat 3 times) And those who dance The thin wall And those who talk The thin wall And those who sneer The thin wall And those who laugh The thin wall And those who know The thin wall And those who dance The thin wall And those who wait The thin wall And those who talk (Fade) |

Chorus:
Welcome to.. Welcome to.. Welcome to the song. Hear the words of the syncopated rhythms. Welcome to the song. And when it calls you, time to move on. We go! (Chorus) Feel the strength of a hundred thousand heartbeats, Cry welcome to the song. And as it lifts you, time to move on. We go! (Chorus) Drawn from the inside, Time to move on. We go! We go! |

Lonely hunter
Lonely hunter Lonely hunter Lonely hunter I'm a lonely hunter, a hungry ghost When you call a passion you must pay the host Look upon me as I thunder, I wonder if you wonder How it feels to be the lonely hunter Lonely hunter Lonely hunter Lonely hunter The wind blows clouds across my cheek My collar's up and my coat is sleek Look upon me as I blunder, I wonder if you wonder How it feels to be the lonely hunter Lonely hunter Lonely hunter Lonely hunter Lonely hunter Lonely hunter |

Light comes through a crack in the door
I tape up the windows once more Tight like a cold hand of steel Don't fear the stranger within Hands that petrify in the air Eyes catching things never there Sweet tension caught on my breath Don't fear the stranger within Watch every shape that escapes Scared to make the final mistake Speak to hear the sound of your voice Don't fear the stranger within Sit in the corner with your back to the wall Pray to your God with your head in your hands Your mask of fear is shrinking fast It's closing in more amour You stand on borrowed time, your sweating palms and chilling brow Your wide-eyed panic makes you laugh, you cry and laugh Freeze until the noise decays, a shuffle from behind a door Your throat is tight, it makes you choke and smoke and choke Eyes will grow accustomed to the dark, a stifled scream that won't come out There's nothing more to fear from the stranger within Don't fear the stranger within I feel the stranger within I see the stranger within Don't know the stranger within I am the stranger within I am the stranger within |

Check out some memories I don't recognise
Another country and another life Oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh I find I'm strolling on a distant shore To meet someone I've never seen before Oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh oh I'm wearing someone else's clothes again Walking in the streets I know again Back in the old familiar glow again I'm wearing someone else's clothes Painting quiet pictures in my ear We're driving past without a wish to steer Oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh Driving underneath the deep blue sea I'm always surfacing in summer sheets Oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh oh I'm wearing someone else's clothes again Walking in the streets I know again Back in the old familiar glow again I'm wearing someone else's clothes - 간 주 중 - I'm wearing someone else's clothes again Walking in the streets I know again Back in the old familiar glow again I'm wearing someone else's clothes - 간 주 중 - Transfer me into a Saturday crowd Or merge me back into a factory town Oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh I'm opened up for such a splendid move I'm making with someone, I don't know who Oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh oh I'm wearing someone else's clothes again Walking in the streets I know again Back in the old familiar glow again I'm wearing someone else's clothes |

Some of them are changing day to day
Some of them flicker then they fade Some of them are triggered off by any crazy thing Some of them are all that's left Some of them are just dead regrets Some of them are shining out through everything I see Some of them Some of them Some of them Some of them are brittle, some are sad Some of them are aching, some are glad Some of them are gone so long they're hard to recognise - 연 주 중 - Stand close to the long parade Watch them passing by in their million ways Walk on through the evergreens Pass from scene to scene through all these yesterdays Some of them are friends just as they were Some of them are gentle, some can fret Some of them are crowding closer every passing year Some of them live in photographs Some of them still give me a laugh Some of them I've out-absorbed as they're changing me Some of them Some of them Some of them |

I'm trying hard to somehow frame a reply Pictures, I've got pictures, and I run them in my head When I can't sleep at night Looking out at the white world and the moon I feel a soft exchange taking place Merging with the people on the brains (?) Whirling my face in conversation Slow motion Slow motion Hush, can you feel the trees so far away? Hush, can you feel the breeze of another day? When we held each other close in the night While we wheeled away in our own light Stepping sideways into our own time Such a simple way Slow motion Slow motion - 간 주 중 - And we held each other close in the night While we wheeled away in our own light And some of us from another time And drifted away Slow motion Slow motion |

Enter me gently
I break in the light Cover my eyes With the rags of my life Was I dreaming? Or did you say The frontiers are falling It's time to be slipping away Let's slip away Let's slip away All things fall from me The bonds and the veils All things blow by me My sorrows have sails Was I dreaming? Or did you say The empires are fading It's time to be slipping away Let's slip away Let's slip away What am I to do? Don't leave me What is there to say? I really... We're just wasting time Let the night takes its place Colour my eyes With the dusk of this wonderful day Let's slip away Let's slip away Letters from lovers Are lining my grave Some came too early And some came too late Were you speaking? Or did I say The frontiers have fallen It's time to be slipping away As you call me My hands they fall open My mouth it is frozen The stumbles is I'm falling slowmotion Dissolve |

Sleepwalk. (Repeat 3 times)
Rolling and falling, I'm choking and calling, Name after name after name. Sleepwalk. (Repeat 3 times) Naked and bleeding, the streetlights stray by me, Hurting my eyes with their glare. Sleepwalk. (Repeat 3 times) Helplessly breaking, exchanging my faces, Destined, we had to collide. Sleepwalk! Taut on the outside, I'm crumpling and crawling, Watching the day drag away. Spiralling deeper, I can't feel my fingers, Rip round my throat as I dream. Dream! Sleepwalk. (Repeat 12 times and fade) |

Chorus:
Serenade, in rhythm and swing. Serenade, the gift that we bring. Serenade, youth runs wild with the beat in their hearts. Dance a wild dance, be torn apart. Voices ringing in their heads. Their crashing hands in time. In sequence and in rhyme. The chant of a thousand-fold. The song of a million strong. Echoes their perfect praise. (Chorus) From the mouths of babes and fools. Hunted melodies. With gracefulness and ease. Compose their gifted words. Orchestrate their moves. Echo the perfect praise. Serenade. (Chorus) Prophets tell the tale. The legend and the lies. The fable and the rhymes. The chant of a thousand-fold. The song of a billion strong. Echoes the perfect praise. Serenade! (Chorus) In rhythm and swing. The gift that we bring. Youth runs wild with the beat in their hearts. Dance the wild dance, be torn apart. Serenade, in rhythm and swing. ( Repeat 5 times and fade. ) Serenade, the gift that we bring. |
