When you're looking at life, In a strange new room, Maybe drowning soon, Is this the start of it all? Turn on your TV, Turn down your pulse, Turn away from it all, It's all getting too much.
When you're looking at life, Deciphering scars, Just who fooled who, Sit still in their cars, The lights look bright, When you reach outside, Time for one last ride, Before the end of it all.
Guess you dreams always end. They don't rise up, just descend, But I don't care anymore, I've lost the will to want more, I'm not afraid not at all, I watch them all as they fall, But I remember when we were young.
Those with habits of waste, Their sense of style and good taste, Of making sure you were right, Hey don't you know you were right? I'm not afraid anymore, I keep my eyes on the door, But I remember....
Tears of sadness for you, More upheaval for you, Reflects a moment in time, A special moment in time, Yeah we wasted our time, We didn't really have time, But we remember when we were young.
And all God's angels beware, And all you judges beware, Sons of chance, take good care, For all the people not there, I'm not afraid anymore, I'm not afraid anymore, I'm not afraid anymore, Oh, I'm not afraid anymore.
Confusion in her eyes that says it all. She's lost control. And she's clinging to the nearest passer by, She's lost control. And she gave away the secrets of her past, And said I've lost control again, And a voice that told her when and where to act, She said I've lost control again.
And she turned to me and took me by the hand and said, I've lost control again. And how I'll never know just why or understand, She said I've lost control again. And she screamed out kicking on her side and said, I've lost control again. And seized up on the floor, I thought she'd die. She said I've lost control again. She's lost control again. She's lost control. She's lost control again. She's lost control.
Well I had to 'phone her friend to state her case, And say she's lost control again. And she showed up all the errors and mistakes, And said I've lost control again. But she expressed herself in many different ways, Until she lost control again. And walked upon the edge of no escape, And laughed I've lost control again. She's lost control again. She's lost control. She's lost control again. She's lost control.
I could live a little better with permissible (the miserable?) lies, When the darkness broke in, I just broke down and cried. I could live a little in a wider line, When the change is done, when the dare is gone, To lose control. When the dare is gone...
Listen to the silence, let it ring on. Eyes, dark grey lenses frightened of the sun. We would have a fine time living in the night, Left to blind destruction, Waiting for our sight.
And we would go on as though nothing was wrong. And hide from these days we remained all alone. Staying in the same place, just staying out the time. Touching from a distance, Further all the time.
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio. Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio. Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio. Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio.
Well I could call out when the going gets tough. The things that we've learnt are no longer enough. No language, just sound, that's all we need know, to synchronise love to the beat of the show.
And we could dance.
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio. Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio. Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio. Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio.
When the routine bites hard and ambitions are low And the resentment rides high but emotions won't grow And we're changing our ways, taking different roads Then love, love will tear us apart again (4)
Why is the bedroom so cold Turned away on your side? Is my timing that flawed, our respect run so dry? Yet there's still this appeal That we've kept through our lives Love, love will tear us apart again (4)
Do you cry out in your sleep All my failings expose? Get a taste in my mouth As desperation takes hold Is it something so good Just can't function no more? When love, love will tear us apart again (4)
A cry for help, a hint of anesthesia, The sound from broken homes, We used to always meet here. As he lays asleep, she takes him in her arms, Some things I have to do, but I don't mean you harm.
A worried parent's glance, a kiss, a last goodbye, Hands him the bag she packed, the tears she tries to hide, A cruel wind that blows down to our lunacy And leaves him standing cold here in this colony.
I can't see why all these confrontations, I can't see why all these dislocations, No family life, this makes me feel uneasy, Stood alone here in this colony. In this colony, in this colony, in this colony, in this colony.
Dear God in his wisdom took you by the hand, God in his wisdom made you understand. God in his wisdom took you by the hand, God in his wisdom made you understand.
God in his wisdom took you by the hand, God in his wisdom made you understand. God in his wisdom took you by the hand, God in his wisdom made you understand. In this colony, in this colony, in this colony, in this colony.
See my true reflection Cut off my own connections I can see life getting harder So sad is this sensation Reverse the situation I can't see it getting better
I'll walk you through the heartbreak Show you all the outtakes I can't see it getting higher Systematically degraded Emotionally a scapegoat I can't see it getting better
Perverse and unrealistic Try to make it all stick I can't see it getting better Hollow now, I'm burned out All I need to break out I can't see life getting higher
Love, life, makes you feel higher Love of life makes you feel higher Higher, higher, higher, higher Higher, higher, higher, higher Love of life makes you feel higher
