I'm back in the circus
Back in the small town, big top Backed up against the wall And nothing's quite what I thought I've got holes in my fishnets Holes in my last alibi And I can't remember When it was that I last saw blue sky And every town's the same Only the names and faces change On this rollercoaster ride, up and down But I never get to the other side Back in the circus But at least I know the routine Got back to back matinees, Me and the drag-queens We are queens of the funhouse Kings of the real house of games Yeah princes of darkness And we're all on first name bases And every man's the same Only the times and places change On this rollercoaster ride, up and down But I never get to the other side And all the pretty horses And all the pretty men Well they could not put this pretty heart Back together again, O no And every town's the same Only the names and faces change On this rollercoaster ride, up and down But I never get to the other side Every man's the same Only the times and places change On this rollercoaster ride, up and down But I never get to the other side. |

I am trying to read your mind
We have stopped to smell the roses I am trying not to lose mine The roses or my mind You are going to break my heart I can see it in your eyes and I can Feel it when the rain starts Falling with my heart I will watch the rain fall harder I will stay and you will go I won't beg and I won't barter I won't say I told you so Oh, oh You are stringing me along You'll pretend that you're not going Try and comfort me but you're gone And there's another song And this is better after all I will keep the holy sweater Tend the roses when the leaves fall It's better after all I will watch the rain fall harder I will stay and you will go I won't beg and I won't barter I won't say I told you so Oh, oh I am trying to read your mind You are going to break my heart You are stringing me along And this is better after all Yeah this is better after all It's better after all |

Sour, sour grapes make bitter wine
And you're no funny Valentine You take such pleasure in revenge A perfect settled score But it just whets your appetite for more Listen how my heart beats inside me The story of a thousand better days And I wish I could say, anything to wash away today 'Cause it won't matter when we're old It won't matter when we're old It matters now Hopes worn down, you've got dreams rubbed thin Threadbare, like the carpet that your mother dragged in You break it now you own it, Like original sin But you cannot take it with you in the state you're in Listen how my heart beats inside me The story of a thousand better days And I wish I could say anything to wash away today 'Cause it won't matter when we're old I won't matter when we're old It matters now, it mattered then It matters how why or when If at first you won't try You've gotta try again What price love, for how much pain What a surprise, you pray for rain Listen how my heart beats inside me The story of a thousand better days And I wish I could say anything to wash away today 'Cause it won't matter when we're old It won't matter when we're old It matters now |

If I'm sleeping with the light on
It means that you'll be back soon If I'm walking on all the lines on my side of the street I know it's for a reason, right comes before left I know it's for a reason, up before down There's an order to things There's an order to things There's an order to things, now that you're gone If I'm sleeping with the light on I'll record the false hope And when the telephone rings out in the night and it's not you I know it's for a reason, nothing lasts I know it's for a reason, you come and you go There's an order to things There's an order to things There's an order to things, now that you're gone And it's hard not being a hero And it's hard living in between Here with the light on in the dark |

Just yesterday mornin', they let me know you were gone
Suzanne the plans they made put an end to you I walked out this morning and I wrote down this song I just can't remember who to send it to I've seen fire and I've seen rain I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend But I always thought that I'd see you again Won't you look down upon me, Jesus You've got to help me make a stand You've just got to see me through another day My body's aching and my time is at hand I won't make it any other way I've seen fire and I've seen rain I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend But I always thought that I'd see you again Been walking my mind to an easy time, my back turned towards the sun Lord knows when the cold wind blows, it'll turn your head around Well there's hours of time on the telephone line to talk about things to come Sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground I've seen fire and I've seen rain I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend But I always thought that I'd see you baby, one more time again, now Thought I'd see you one more time again There's just a few things coming my way this time around now Thought I'd see you, thought I'd see you, fire and rain now Na na na. Na na na na na na na na na na. Na na na na na na na na I've seen fire and I've seen rain I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend But I always thought that I'd see you baby, one more time again, now Thought I'd see you one more time again There's just a few things coming my way this time around now Thought I'd see you, thought I'd see you, fire and rain now |

So this is how it feels to be happy, to find real true love
To be wanted, to be real We throw away the rest of the past, every small broken thing We find new things that will last And everything's the same but my name And I have everything I wanted For a change I'm not ashamed And I have everything I wanted It's another gorgeous day in Miami, I am missing you Can you hear me, are you real Never home for long we are passing in our dreams at night But we send signals we can feel And everything's the same but my name And I have everything I wanted For a change, I'm not ashamed And I have everything I wanted We make do, we get by We don't know how or why We lose track, were we happy? Would we take anything back? If we could, Would we try? And every single day I am grateful, I hold my heart in my hands And I love you, this is real 'Cause everything's the same but my name And I have everything I wanted For a change I'm not ashamed And I have everything I wanted Not to blame, not ashamed, everything I wanted |

> I give you love, but you won't take it.
You flip your collar as you leave. Bicycles on cobble-stones. A corner cafe' all alone. They whipser, they whisper. Don't let them take your love for granted. Don't think that he's the only one. There's more to love than keeping time. More to reason than the rhyme, so listen, just listen. Less than love is nothing, nothing is not enough. And more than anything, I wish you love. Less than love is nothing, and nothing is not enough. And more than anything, I wish you love, wish you love. 'Cos there might be love around the corner. These streets have seen it all before, They've seen every up and down, Every callous, lucky clown mistaken, and a serenade. 'Cos less than love is nothing, and nothing is not enough. And more than than anything, I wish you love. Less than love is nothing, nothing is not enough. And more than anything, I wish you will, I wish you might, I wish you were alone tonight, I wish that I could leave the past behind, For once I wish that love would last. I wish you will, I wish you might, I wish you were alone tonight, I wish that I could leave the past behind, For once I wish that love could last. 'Cos nothing is not enough, and more than anything I wish you love. Less the love is nothing, and nothing is not enough, and more than anything I wish you love. (X2) Less than love is nothing (X2) |

Sally I still have the green skirt you gave me
And Sally I still do believe you could save me 'Cause I wander around and the world is so strange I'm here on the ground and all of my dreams just fly away Sally it's only September But Sally we've both come a lifetime since May And it's lines and it's rhymes that I can remember But I always forget what I wanted to say 'Cause everything's changed, deep in my heart Love's rearranged, where do I start, where do I start? I will, I can, I do, again I will, I can, I do, again Sally you'll have another sweet baby Sally I'll write another ten songs And we'll keep looking back at the paths we've not taken Both of us still wondering where we belong 'Cause everything's changed and so we start Love comes again, and there go our hearts, there go our hearts I will, I can, I do, again I will, I can, I do, again I will, I can, I do, again Sally I still have the green skirt you gave me And Sally I still do believe you could save me. |

It's that I leap and then I look
At all the chances that I took Feel the air, miss the catch Then I have to swing back My timing's all wrong And the ladder is gone And all I can do, is Swing 'til it's all net below All I can do, is Swing 'til it's all net below And I can let go I am not faint of heart But I get weak in the knees I am tired for the world For the wind in the trees But we'll still find the song Though the ladder is gone It's all we can do, is Swing 'til it's all net below Swing 'til it's all net below And we can let go And I'll still look you in the eye It's the longest goodbye I'll feel the air, make the catch But I won't swing back My timing is clear And I'll never fear I'll swing 'til there's no net below Yeah, I'll swing 'til there's no net below |

Don't think sorry's easily said
Don't try turning tables instead You've taken lots of chances before But I'm not gonna give anymore Don't ask me That's how it goes Cause part of me knows what you're thinkin' Don't say words you're gonna regret Don't let the fire rush to your head I've heard the accusation before And I ain't gonna take any more Believe me The sun in your eyes Made some of the lies worth believing [Chorus:] I am the eye in the sky Looking at you I can read your mind I am the maker of rules Dealing with fools I can cheat you blind And I don't need to see any more To know that I can read your mind, I can read your mind Don't leave false illusions behind Don't cry cause I ain't changing my mind So find another fool like before Cause I ain't gonna live anymore believing Some of the lies while all of the signs are deceiving [Chorus] |
