I should let this go but I just can't And now it's just a lesson I can't grasp So what's really the best that I could do To hope to see you every year or two
And the things you said Do they still make sense Could you mean them now Did you even mean them then I could torture myself Insane and tense But I don't have the strength
I'm crushed in pain you drifted through my life But even looking back I know it's right I gave you my heart scared complete and whole When all you ever asked for was my soul
And there's nothing left But a song or two That mean not a thing If I can't play them for you If I could hear your voice just one more time Maybe I'd be fine
But I guess I won't 'Cos it's too late now And I guess you're gone 'Cos it's too late now And the pain I feel Is all I can take Maybe this turn of karma Is too late Maybe I was wrong Maybe I was caught In a net of passion Maybe I was caught Maybe I should take it all with salt And soon I'll believe that it's not my fault And it's not my fault And it's not my fault And it's not my fault And it's not my fault And it's not my fault And it's not my fault If I say it enough I'll believe that It's not my fault
You throw me in a pan You cook me in a can You stretch me with your hands
You love to watch me bake You serve me up with cake And that's your big mistake
Your guest comes in dressed smart You offer a la carte You didn't have the heart
And I want a TV embrace And I, I'm getting off your boiling plate They swore you'd steal my steam to feed your dream And then be gone I wish I could say that everyone was wrong
You left me burned and seared You left me ripped and teared And older than my years
I should have know at first That you would leave me hurt You had to try dessert
No way to let off steam Don't bother milk or cream No way to let off steam
And I want a TV embrace And I, I'm getting off this boiling plate They swore you'd steal my steam to feed your dream And then be gone I wish I could say that everyone was wrong
It must feel good to stand above me While I make you so proud of me It must feel good that I'm now gone I wish I could say that everyone was wrong I wish everyone was wrong I wish everyone was wrong I wish everyone was wrong I wish everyone was wrong I wish everyone was wrong
You throw me in a pan You cook me in a can You stretch me with your hands
You love to watch me bake You serve me up with cake And that's your big mistake
Your guest comes in dressed smart You offer a la carte You didn't have the heart
And I want a TV embrace And I, I'm getting off your boiling plate They swore you'd steal my steam to feed your dream And then be gone I wish I could say that everyone was wrong
You left me burned and seared You left me ripped and teared And older than my years
I should have know at first That you would leave me hurt You had to try dessert
No way to let off steam Don't bother milk or cream No way to let off steam
And I want a TV embrace And I, I'm getting off this boiling plate They swore you'd steal my steam to feed your dream And then be gone I wish I could say that everyone was wrong
It must feel good to stand above me While I make you so proud of me It must feel good that I'm now gone I wish I could say that everyone was wrong I wish everyone was wrong I wish everyone was wrong I wish everyone was wrong I wish everyone was wrong I wish everyone was wrong
It's sad and spent Feel the motion again Stop and pause Then move some more
Still surprise you when it shatters But nothing matters Still surprise you when it shatters Don't you know that nothing happens But a lot goes on A lot goes on But nothing happens A lot goes on A lot goes on But nothing happens
Choose a town Find a girl to follow around Stay on track And just sit back
Still surprise you when it shatters But nothing matters Still surprise you when it shattered Don't you know that nothing happens But a lot goes on A lot goes on But nothing happens A lot goes on A lot goes on But nothing happens A lot goes on A lot goes on But nothing happens A lot goes on A lot goes on But nothing happens But a lot goes on A lot goes on But nothing happens A lot goes on A lot goes on But nothing happens A lot goes on A lot goes on But nothing happens A lot goes on A lot goes on But nothing happens
I'm feeling tornados Blood drips off the town now Blood drips off the town now
I'm watching the wind change Blood drips off the town now Blood drips off the town now
My mouth is dry I've had better luck My eyes are blind But soon I'll straighten up Soon I'll straighten up
I left for a while Blood drips on the floor now Blood drips on the floor now
I'm looking for ghosts here Blood drips on the floor now Blood drips on the floor now
My mouth is dry My joints are stuck My eyes are blind But soon I'll straighten up Soon I'll straighten up But soon I'll straighten up
My mouth is dry I've had better luck My eyes are blind But soon I'll straighten up Soon I'll straighten up
And I feel it ending Blood drains from my face now Blood drains from my face now And you keep my heart pure You keep my heart pure You keep my heart pure
I walk the streets with some friends of mine Just like every time Sit here letting time line my face Fill this empty space I was tired I was unsatisfied I was wrong, I was wrong, I was wrong
I asked you if I could come inside When I need to hide Wait for your love to swallow me Please don't try to follow me I was tired I was uninspired I was wrong, I was wrong, I was wrong
I walk the streets with some friends of mine Just like every time Sit here letting time line my face Fill this empty space I was tired I was unsatisfied I was wrong, I was wrong, I was wrong
No time like the present this Emptiness kiss and a physical sickness I'm falling in fear again I know I'll never be here again No time like the present this Emptiness kiss and a physical sickness I'm falling in fear again I know I'll never be here again I know I'll never be here again I know I'll never be here again I know I'll never be here again I know I'll never be here again I know I'll never be here again
There's an ocean between us Just like me Deep and Blue
And I, at times have had nothing But tonight I want nothing but you You're the only thing I want The only thing I want The only thing on my mind All the time
Staying up 'til dawn won't take its toll 'Til we get old And drinking is just the way We keep away the cold And you, you know what it means To be true and searching like me
You're the only thing I need The only thing I need The only thing on my mind All the time
And you gave me a reason To give you my soul I'll give you it all
You're the only one I want The only one I need The only one on my mind All the time All the time All the time All the time
This tender body Just wouldn't have a clue What it could be in for So come on get your shoes on I'll get you what you go through
And all the people Around here every day They go home in the nighttime So come on do your make-up And get me what I'll go through
I'm worth my weight in gold Watching the crowds unfold Late-start velocity Nighttime's making a mess of me
And you hear music Everywhere you go Music's better in the nighttime So come on play a record It'll get you what you go through
I'm worth my weight in gold Watching the crowds unfold Late-start velocity Nighttime's making a mess of me
I'm worth my weight in gold Watching the crowds unfold Late-start velocity Nighttime's making a mess of me Nighttime's making a mess of me Nighttime's making a mess of me Nighttime's making a mess So come on get your shoes on Nighttime's making a mess of me Nighttime's making a mess Nighttime's making a mess Go on get your shoes on Go on get your shoes on
I've been looking for some kick Looking for one trick To get through the day
I've tried watching the time pass Watching the hourglass Do you ever get the feeling that you just don't want to play?
I'm finding it strange such That people don't change much 'Til they're torn apart
Keep one eye on the object And don't change the subject Do you ever get the feeling that this is just the start?
Sandpaperback inside me Sandpaperback inside me Sandpaperback inside me I've been saved by I've been saved by you
It's just another thing that I'm wanting Time that I'm wondering If I could bend
And I don't believe that things just repeat Do you ever get the feeling that history must end?
Sandpaperback inside me Sandpaperback inside me Sandpaperback inside me I've been saved by I've been saved by you
And dearly departed You leave a city broken-hearted Or you were never never really there And dearly departed You leave a city broken-hearted Or you were never never really there
Sandpaperback inside me Sandpaperback inside me Sandpaperback inside me Sandpaperback inside me Sandpaperback inside me I've been saved by I've been saved by you
I'm ten feet tall today I'm higher than a kite I sidle up beside Awake for five days and five nights
I've got a glow today For everyone I know It hurts to watch me glow I'm blind so watch me grow
I hit the ground and I'm downtown The street's alive there's people 'round Wonder how I did it all before You know, I've walked away from more...
I'm ten feet tall today And no one can explain And no one can obtain And I will buckle under strain
I hit the ground and I'm downtown The street's alive there's people 'round Wonderin' how I did it all before You know, I've walked away from more than this I've walked away from more than this Away from more
Coming out of Sydney Country music playing Cursing all of them who stayed
In the city I own this city Get drunker than a poet who just got paid
And I'm finally hoping That I'll be torn open So that every word I say is true
The words I'm shouting While I work it out In case trouble takes me and I don't make it through
You have to ship my body home Ship my body home All I ever wanted was to finish what I started But there's no way I could do it on my own You have to ship my body home
Driving through the mountains Cutting through the night time Stopping now and then to wonder why
I left the city The quiet city I killed its memory just to watch it die
And I'm finally hoping That I'll be torn open So that every word I say is true
The words you're hearing While I make it clear In case trouble takes me and I don't make it through
You have to ship my body home Ship my body home All I ever wanted was to finish what I started But there's no way I could do it on my own You have to ship my body Ship my body Ship my body All I ever wanted was to finish what I started So ship my body All I ever wanted was to finish what I started So ship my body All I ever wanted was All I ever wanted was All I ever wanted once I finished what I started Was to ship my body home
So glad you're coming I've nothing on my mind If I could only visit The places that you hide
It's blurred against the background It vanishes as soon as you tell I know this feeling I know this feeling well
Despite these complications There's nothing on my mind Turn and face it properly If you have to look behind
It's buried in the chaos It vanishes as soon as you tell I know this feeling I know this feeling well
You're broken and I want it You're broken and I want it Asleep Asleep
Teach me to sleepwalk There's nothing I want more Teach me to sleepwalk There's nothing I want more Teach me to sleepwalk There's nothing I want more I know this feeling I know this feeling well
Are you changing, are you changing, are you changing. Do you know it, do you feel it, do you know it. But you're waiting, why're you waiting, why're you waiting. Just do it, whatever it is. there are secrets, there are secrets, there are secrets. there are places, there are places, you can go to they might tell you, yeah they'll tell you, that you shouldn't

and you're dancing, and you're looking kinda crazy and your arms, are making little circles there are reasons, there are reasons, you can find out
so do it, whatever it is, whatever it is, just do it, whatever it is, whatever it is, go do it, whatever it is, whatever it is, whatever it is, whatever it is.
it's so quiet, it's so quiet, it's so quiet and you're dreaming, and you're dreaming, and you're dreaming I turn to you and say - awake is the new sleep, awake is the new sleep so wake up. And do it, whatever it is. Just do it, whatever it is. 'cause awake is the new sleep, awake is the new sleep so wake up wake up. and do it.

I'm walking down broadway Each foot step is a new love letter I'm trying to make eye contact With each and every stranger that I pass Thinking about the city It's living proof people need to be together I'm thinking about how I just want to open up And give and give and give And it's ok for you to care Cause I can feel you in the air And while you wonder "how's this gonna end?" I only want it to begin
I'm thinking about desire I've had to learn how to sin successfully I'm thinking about bliss And bliss is all dressed up And there's no one to dance with Remembering her smile and the nuclear bomb And the reasons I loved her Walking through Central Park I'm in a foriegn country and I'm waiting for a sign That it's ok for you to care Cause I'm not going anywhere And while you wonder if you should let me in I only want it to begin
I'm still singing Twisting new melodies, breaking arrangements Thinking about my heart I guess you've heard, sometimes it's heavy But I just keep moving When I hit a wall, I look up at the sky I'm thinking about my maker In spite of all this I know she won't give up on me And its ok for you to care Cause I can taste you everywhere While it's true All straight things must bend I only want it to begin
I only want it to begin I only want it to begin I only want it to begin
