Thin december air is like the dry ice smoke You will come to your senses or inhale and choke My IQ allows me to brush you aside You are zeros and ones, you're wrong when I'm right
Now the tyrant is dead and his lady is free I am going ahead with the reinvention of me Now the king lies here dead, now the king lies here dead
It's not as wet as the rain or as cold as the snow It drives him hard to the sane and the simple soul I take a charge at my chance, you know how it is Let go of my hand, you know how it is
Now the tyrant is dead and his lady is free I am going ahead with the reinvention of me Now the king lies here dead, now the king lies here dead
And my IQ allows me to brush you aside
Now the tyrant is dead and his lady is free I am going ahead with the reinvention of me Now the tyrant is dead and his lady is free I am going ahead with the reinvention of me Now the king lies here dead, now the king lies here dead
Peel my skin off, baby peel I need my TV nerves to feel That I don't care
Shake, my legs won't stop to shake I need a kicking cause I'm fake And I don't care She's speeding all the time Exhausted, looking fine Oh, baby, you're a crime And I don't care, no I don't care
Peel my skin off so I feel I have something you can't steal Cause I don't care She's speeding all the time Exhausted, looking fine Oh, baby, you're a crime And I don't care, no I don't care And I don't care, no I don't care
Everybody gets a second in the sun I have a feeling mine has just begun Music non stop when I close my eyes Clarity born from such a compromise And you're almost like me
So why don't you dance to the music I hear inside my head Why don't you dance to the music It's the soundtrack for the end
I'm looking for a place to lie in wait I quit my job to find a perfect fate Music non stop when I close my eyes I need some time alone and I found a carpark that is home You're almost like me
So why don't you dance to the music I hear inside my head Why don't you dance to the music It's the soundtrack for the end
Everybody gets a second in the sun I have a feeling mine has just begun Music non stop when I close my eyes Clarity born from such a compromise And you are almost like me
So why don't you dance to the music I hear inside my head Why don't you dance to the music It's the soundtrack for the end Why don't you dance to the music I hear inside my head Why don't you dance to the music It's the soundtrack for the end
Summertime I'm the silence as the wind blows My land is your land we are free
Summertime If you listen close you hear my teardrops fall My dream is yours
I have time on my side Making diamonds of coal She put a hole, through my kevlar soul And my heart slowly dies It gets lonely and cold She put a hole, through my kevlar soul
Summertime I am violence as the rain falls My land is my land only mine
Summertime If I listen close I hear your teardrops fall Your dream is mine
I have time on my side Making diamonds of coal She put a hole, through my kevlar soul And my heart slowly dies It gets lonely and cold She put a hole, through my kevlar soul
I have time on my side Making diamonds of coal She put a hole, through my kevlar soul My dream is your dream And my heart slowly dies It gets lonely and cold She put a hole, through my kevlar soul Your dream is my dream
I have time on my side Making diamonds of coal She put a hole, through my kevlar soul My dream is your dream And my heart slowly dies It gets lonely and cold She put a hole, through my kevlar soul
I've been waiting for my brilliance to shine through Like waiting would do I've been called a little coward more than once It hurts when it's true I've been following your footprints in the snow Trying to return the excuses that I stole
I'm the first on and the last off the bus Little ego be still And I fight the cold wind back up the street To Hagnesta Hill And the darkness and the snow fall as one And I lost my scarf At a busstop of the outskirts of town
I gather all the courage and the hate Little ego goes wild And my voice broke down I finally reached that age I was cruel as a child If this feeling that remains is not mine Then it's something new Maybe my brilliance shining through
It's noisy, can't think, I can't speak I'm tired of handshakes so please Get rid of this crowd I can't breathe here anymore You just have to let me go
It's noisy, can't think, I can't speak I'm tired of handshakes so please Get rid of this crowd I can't breathe here anymore You just have to let me go You just have to let me go You just have to let me go You just have to let me go And I don't need your hurry You just have to let me go
I saw a film Future visions of now They changed the end Cause they always do somehow Saw you tonight For the first time in years Crushed and thin But your guardian angel's with you Judging by the way you walk
And I have a feeling, it wasn't that easy Keeping a pace like that Forever you fool me You are a heavenly junkie We live in the dreams you had I have a feeling, it wasn't that easy To be who you were
I saw a film about the violence in men I press rewind, take it frame by frame again Saw you tonight, life still danced in your eyes You're creased and lined, but your guardian angel's with you Judging by the way you talk
And I have a feeling, it wasn't that easy Keeping a pace like that Forever you fool me You are a heavenly junkie We live in the dreams you had And I have a feeling, it wasn't that easy Keeping a pace like that Forever you fool me You are a heavenly junkie We live in the dreams you had And I have a feeling, it wasn't that easy Keeping a pace like that Forever you fool me You are a heavenly junkie We live in the dreams you had And I have a feeling, it wasn't that easy To be who you were
I feel like everybody said I would feel It's over now, so kill the lights I need what everybody said I would need I'm tied uptight by your china voice That always broke when I made you sad
Stay with me stay Don't leave in this way Stay with me stay I'll do whatever you say
I do what everybody said I would do It's over now, so kill the lights I go where everybody said I would go Like a weeping child, were you the only one That made it feel right being me
Stay with me stay Don't leave in this way Stay with me stay I'll do whatever you say
And like today awaits tomorrow And like tomorrow needs today I need your simple words to follow I'll do whatever you say
Stay with me stay Don't leave in this way Stay with me stay I'll do whatever you say Stay with me stay
There was a time when I was lost in myself You took my hand became my guide There was a time you needed my help I guess my ego made me blind It's not the rain it's not the streetlights That makes your skin so pale at night
It's your quiet heart and your silence As your teardrops stain my sheets Let's take a trip through the wires Your dream is gone you are free Stay free
There was a time I had your life in my hands And you had life left in your eyes There was a time I got your hiding inside From something shining through the blinds It's not the shadows by the red lights That makes my skin crawl late at night
It's your quiet heart and your silence As your teardrops stain my sheets Let's take a trip through the wires Your dream is gone you are free
It's not the rain it's not the streetlights That makes your skin so pale at night
It's your quiet heart and your silence As your teardrops stain my sheets Let's take a trip through the wires Your dream is gone you are free
It's your quiet heart and your silence As your teardrops stain my sheets Let's take a trip through the wires Our love is dead, you are free
I got a message from the screen subliminal Like a sign saying no-one cares no more And all the networks and the TV stations Feed me lies and simple explanations But they can't fool me on the state of this nation love
You still need my hands to feel You still need my heart to bleed Cause your lips taste just like money
You start a fire and it smells like chemicals As you get higher you will hit the all time low And does the network and the TV stations And the lies, the sex, the fake relations Tell you something about the state of the nation love
You still need my hands to feel You still need my heart to bleed Cause your lips taste just like money Just like money
Concrete high rise I need no pitty On the sky train crossed this city Jesus died and God's gone missing Take your skin off it might fit me now Love is dead and you're so pretty, baby
You still need my hands to feel You still need my heart to bleed Cause your lips taste just like money You still need my lungs to breathe You still need my eyes to see Cause your lips taste just like money Just like money Just like money Just like money
On the highway there's no traces left Of accidents and incidents The christmas snow has slipped his mind As ever the forgetful kind
If I fall will you be there to catch me if I fall When I fall will you be there to catch me when I fall Down, down, down, down
The radio plays cover songs New lyrics, sex and sing alongs Suddenly I lost my friends They don't call me and I don't call them
If I fall will you be there to catch me if I fall When I fall will you be there to catch me when I fall Down, down, down, down
Nothing matters if you stay here, hold me tight All those memories will be lost in time Nothing matters if you stay here hold me tight All those memories will be lost in time
Like tears in the rain, like tears in the rain Like tears in the rain, like tears in the rain I need you, I need you now, I need you now Like tears in the rain, like tears in the rain I need you, I need you now, I need you now
I tried so hard to make you smile For once I tried to be myself I made you scared, I made you cry So I never tried again
And you tried to tell me how you feel I couldn't hear you say a thing You tried to tell me how you feel I wasn't listening, I wasn't listening
It took me 29 years to reach perfection Now they fill us with fear Computerized rejection Your voice disappears On a bad connection It gets lonely out here I need protection please Are you protecting me
Now I found a way to make you smile Pretending I am someone else Cause I really missed your smile More than I missed myself You found a way to keep it inside To a point where you can't feel a thing And silence suits us fine Cause we are not listening No, we're not listening
It took me 29 years to reach perfection Now they fill us with fear Computerized rejection Your voice disappears On a bad connection It gets lonely out here Are you protecting me, are you protecting me Are you protecting me, are you protecting me Are you protecting me, are you protecting me
The wires dream about swallows in the spring I dreamed about my childhood surrounded by dead things Awakened by the humming that machines make when they sleep At least I woke up smiling, so glad I had a dream
She is waving out of the window Her smile is red as a wound And my quiet heart goes to pieces It's been a lonely year in this room
And I will not ignore you like before My january promises are more Than words softly spoken
I'm filming now Obsessed with how I look And everything I told you Was stolen from a book I read something about kisses in a sience magazine Something they can't capture in the sweetest movie scenes
She is waving out of the window Her smile is red as a wound And my quiet heart goes to pieces It's been a lonely year in this room
And I will not ignore you like before My january promises are more Than words softly spoken
There is something in her eyes That's making me scared It's clinging to my shirt now Like static in her hair And something here is wrong I heard it when she spoke Her dust flows through my veins And I'm yesterday's joke
And it seems impossible to meet her simple needs She breaths invincible and it's giving me the creeps She is still the wild one here, the incendiary soul She is in flame and I am cold God, I'm getting old
She is talking through a yawn and the radio is on I listen through the thin walls And someone is whisteling along There is something in the air Squeezing out sparks The striplight flickers and then dies And leaves us in the dark
And it seems impossible to make the ending speak She breaths invincible and it's giving me the creeps She is still the wild one here, the incendiary soul She is in flame and I am cold God, I'm getting old God, it's getting cold
And I tried to make you a believer But you're not a receiver
