She was in a class of 44 beautiful dancers
And I watched her pirouette around the stars In her poms And I must have told her one thousand times In my mind, that I loved her I got drunk one night, she was on the steps She touched my shoulder oh oh oh oh I was young and full of grace When I stepped into the fire, with my dancer She had barely come of age But she was egging me on, all the way down And I told her as the ship sank That I loved her And I told her as we walked off of the plank I was all hers Oh oh oh oh Step 2, 3, 4, jump 2, 3, 4 Step 2, 3, 4, jump 2, 3, 4 Step 2, 3, 4, jump 2, 3, 4 Step 2, 3, 4, and jump That's good |

Who knows what the day brings?
When the girl on the palace steps sings I'm sorry the breakdown was mine I missed all the signs, I can't read your mind And before you go run off again And cry to your friends Would you look through the frost, and see Here behind my cold eyes, my heart it is wore My eyelids are sore And you were wrong And you were wrong And so when my song it was sung I went to the grass, and I sat in the sun To bask underneath my own dredge Do I follow my heart, do I have far to go And I'd lie 'neath the shade of our bones With the heart of a star, 'Cause I live on my own stone And you were wrong And you were wrong Who knows what the day brings? When the girl on the palace steps sings You were wrong You were wrong You were wrong |

You said you kissed the foot of the saviour
Felt his confession in your sleep Well I'll be your saviour, if you'll do me that favour And if you want I'll bathe you In the blood of the lamb I love you, but you're too young to know And even if I am thinking of you I won't let it show When you're like this You could be thinking anything at all When you're like this I might as well be talking to the I might as well be talking to the wall I love you, but you're too young to know And even if I am thinking of you You'll never know There's no stone, stick, bone, name, thrown Swear to god But you, but you, but you, but you But you, but you, but you, but you But you, but you, but you, but you Amalama ah but you, amalama ama ramble on I love you, but you're too young to know And even if I am thinking of you You'll never ever ever ever ever ever know It's too late for you to go |

Let go of the wheel
And forget how to steer It's all downhill from here Forget all the words that you heard And shuffle them till they're unclear It's all downhill from here And if I held the key to all time Then all of your time would be mine Pick up something to throw And see how far it'll go And forget all you know We'll throw our thoughts over the pier And send them all into the mire And wait there, until they all disappear And if I held the secret to faith Then all of your faith would be mine So let go of the wheel And forget how to steer It's all downhill from here And when you're flying past In your carriage of glass Will you get time to ask Or will it all be too fast And when you're getting cold in your In your carriage of gold Will you hear all I told Or be too precious to hold And if I held the door to all love Then all of your love would be mine And if I held the whole world in my hands Then all of your world would be mine So let go of the wheel And forget how to steer It's all downhill from here It's all downhill from here It's all downhill from here |

Am I making sense? Am I making time?
Well I, I put it by And I can't wait to try Masquerade! The world's a stage A hundred faces for you to play Well it's hard to believe I'm spinning all this way I'm spinning all this way Round and round in my head Roll over again let your heart do the spin And listen to nothing I have to say What did my momma say I was always making songs for her Over my song, over these days gone on You come to a special place Where you can go in straight Masquerade! You send me down your massive chain You send me down your massive chain And you base the frame What did my momma say I was always making songs for her There's a better way |

I had to strain to understand
Your swimming in the water tower Running blood down from my hand She said are you sure that you live The way you want to live I had to hope to take her hand I was hanging on the edge for hours Dreaming of some starry strand And I was dreaming about your face Running back my way We were the picture of love And love doesn't think of tomorrow And long live romance from above And your fire of love I built a fire into the sky A little something to remember you by And panic broke and I lost my faith And I was mistaken for you On the palace stool We were the picture of love And love doesn't think of tomorrow And long live romance from above And your fire of love We were the picture of love And love doesn't think of forever And long live your stars from above And your fire of love I had to strain to understand Your swimming in the water tower We were the picture of love And love doesn't think of tomorrow And long live romance from above And your fire of love We were the picture of love And love doesn't think past forever And long live you stars from above And your fire of love And your fire of love And she said are you sure that you live The way you want to live |

Hey Martha why are you crying?
Is it for the same reason you were crying yesterday? Don't you know a bad situation when you see one? Get out, just leave baby, go today Well I'm just waiting for you to open me up Just hoping you'll drink from my broken cup I'm just a lonely boy who knows Nothing else but you, my Martha Hey Martha what are you saying? You say you got to figure it all out for yourself Well time won't wait, and you're not special Don't you think it's time you took me down off your shelf I won't claim to be the saviour of your soul, no I wouldn't want that kind of thing at all I'm just a lonely boy who knows Nothing else but you, my Martha Hey my my my Martha Hey my my my Martha Hey Martha the boat is leaving Pretty soon they are going to be Calling the last of us on Please don't please don't make me leave without you Don't make this a very sad and unhappy song You know I tried to say well it doesn't matter I tried to throw away everything I thought was true I'm just a lonely boy who knows Nothing else but you my Martha Hey my my my Martha Hey my my my Martha Hey my my my Martha |

I looked into her face again
The penny dropped and I stuck out my can She was holding her ballerina case I was stuck in the back of the place I turned around and she laughed in my face She took me up to her higher wall She took me up there just to let me fall and I'll sing you Another love song Another love song I looked into her face once more Sit you back so I can tell you a little story You look better from behind You look better from behind You look better from outside She took me up into her flying clay She took me up there just to blow away and I'll sing you Another love song Another love song I begged her, begged her, begged her please You skinny fatcher I could take your little stamen I only asked you for the time I only asked you for the time I only asked you for a sign She took me up into the bell I go She took me up there just to let it blow and I'll sing you Another love song Another love song Another love song |

There was a head on collision
At my front door today One man died And another man tried to stop it There was a head on collision At my front door today One man died And another man tried to stop it I was hanging on the pole When I saw what happened I went to tell my ma, But she was sleeping I was hanging on the pole When I saw what happened Don't take that man away It was not his fault Telegraph poles are good for climbing But don't touch the live wire At the tip of the barrel Telegraph poles are good for climbing But don't touch the live wire At the tip of the barrel You know this means everything to me But I'm not sure if I'll be here tomorrow You know this means everything to me But I'm not sure if I'll be here tomorrow Telegraph poles are good for climbing But don't touch the live wire At the tip of the barrel Telegraph poles are good for climbing But don't touch the live wire At the tip of the barrel There was a head on collision At my front door today One man died And another man tried to stop it |

I run my hands along the rail
Like I'm banging on a dead nail I pull your mask around your face And pack your castle in a big case You're not a sage But you know you're always on a big stage I'm gonna live forever I'm gonna live forever I'm gonna live forever I'm gonna live forever He was just a guy with his plan Pitchin' rubbers with his rain-tan I took a date from the two day dance I kissed my girl in pretty blue pants Got to shake your hand You know I've always been a big fan I'm gonna live forever I'm gonna live forever I'm gonna live forever I'm gonna live forever On holiday when she was away, I was always Never gonna, ever gonna I'm gonna live forever I'm gonna live forever I'm gonna live forever I'm gonna live forever Stop right there, I got a dare You pull your plan and dig your heal Spin your castle on a bent wheel Pull your mask around your face And throw your hands into a big space I'm not just gonna stand like I'm Waiting for the big hand I'm gonna live forever! |
