Brother I know it – I know it’s too late for me And I know it – I know it won’t break for me And signs that point to signs are all I see Lining streets surrounding me all ways, always Anyway that I can help you, you know I’d try ‘Cause I will die with you Brother our whole lives you had your bearings And I had mine And lines that follow lines are all I see Crossing points surrounding me all ways, always Take me with you All We Are Different faces, different styles - so far away Like a child, wander child Will I ever find my way? Getting off but going nowhere I haven’t seemed to find the line I’m missing and I can’t tell how or why Painful laughter, cynical smile - with no translation No reply, the city sighs Will I ever find my way? Getting off but going nowhere I haven’t seemed to find the line I’m missing and I can’t tell how or why Every handshake makes me wonder what part I play in the design Ten million faces I have recognized, I recognized One climb – endless ways One life – endless change All we are we are in kind All we are we are in life All we are we are in stride All we are we are in love Numbers of Me I want to see past curtains I didn’t choose The game show blues is sticking to me Trapped in light speed I separate a million ways They all become one big escape for me But I have it all - I am it all Crazy dreams all in the way, deconstructing hope and fate 'Cause I can see numbers of me that ain’t so very hard to take Parts of a whole I'll never be, they’re black and white portraits that bleed I just watch them fade to grey, angles that never bend or fray We fall we bleed, we’re scared to make the same mistakes We all live out the same clichés, don’t we? I should be free but I never seem to carry through It never seems to carry through for me Overgrown Do you know what you do to me? What you couldn’t see? You can not fall Do you know what you do to me? You can not call on me when I am gone Do you know what I’ll do when I am all overgrown? It was all that I wanted, to be alone - I won’t Do you know what I’ll do when I am all on my own I’ll be with you Do you know what you do to me? What you couldn’t see? You can not call Do you know what you do to me? You can not call on me when I am gone Why can’t I be strong? Where did I go wrong? How’d it take so long? Where am I right now? Why can’t I be strong? Where did I go wrong? How’d it take so long? Where am I right now? Right where I belong Sad and Still Love, where do I go, what do I do Where do I go without you? Without you? “Life I wanted to see - I wanted to stay Didn’t want to fade away But I know that you’ll heal, and I know that your time Is sad and still…” “Why, why can't I see? Why can't I stay? Didn’t want to slip away What did I feel? When is my time? It's sad and still – still” So, you said that we will not be everything we want to be But one cliché at a time Oh I, I know it will hurt us too, that everything we said we’d do Is going to make us liars Caroline Tortured TV personality Lonely playboy, choked-up mom of three Hopeless tycoon, washed up prodigy Helplessness and serial monogamy All we need all we need All we need is heart Now we’re broke all on our own Caroline I’m sorry Worn down local celebrity Damaged schoolgirl, sex scenes on TV Desperate lover, shattered friends-to-be Joylessness and empty apologies Competing loyalties aside You’re my friend and you’re my kind The great escape’s not behind You’re my friend and you’re my pride I Am the Sea You’ll do what you have to do We’ll break when we need to break And it won’t be long ‘til we can breathe – relief If you’re anything you are the sea You change like the days change You wait, don’t know why you wait – disobey And it won’t be long ‘til we release – we’ll bleed If we’re anywhere we’re in the deep Standing in your place there’s a chill, but I’m not afraid We’ve seen them before, sea change wars, they’re all the same This can’t this can’t be This won’t this won’t be Let us just let us be Let us just let us be You Love a Spaceman Baby brought a spaceman home from school, he had a silver helmet she thought was cool Baby thinks her lovers are so out-dated, our Baby just has something she’s got to prove So – she’s not weightless on her own Baby brought a spaceman home from school with teenie-tiny moon boots she thought were new Baby’s action figures are so outrageous, don’t bother Baby won’t be impressed with you Never me, never you - we come from opposite rings of Saturn From the man in the moon to the toys that you will break up and shatter Baby brought a spaceman home from school, she has some simple tests she wants to do Baby knows the spaceman is getting nervous, Baby told him “Nothing’s expected of you” After I’m gone… AC/DC Idol Brittle candy hands make a fist and everybody laughs Wholesome rebel, new wave boys want to be Duran Duran Duran Sporty new ‘dos like a hairdresser’s super-group Beloved, acclaimed, the future needs it's joke all the same Neon Fender looks like a gift from a Culture Club fan But still you make good copy too, hip weekly says you’re their new favorite band Wake up its make-up, needed you for oh so long Hold on to clip on to Chia-soul You’ll see me as a fashion scam, so We’ll each be half a gingerbread man AC – you see the kids will laugh at me DC – still seems like the perfect plan Respectful, successful, your white belt shines like ten-thousand mighty suns Rag dolls with radio power, computers reach out for love and we pay by the hour You’ll get older, you’ll get weak You’ll be the pride and joy of reality TV I know you had a damn good ride and if you’d had a longer time I know you had those kiddies fooled, I know you think they need you AC – help me and hold my hand, so DC – I can at least try to stand AC – two feet right in front of me DC – Chuckies and my checkered Vans Zoology Dismiss me by your own volition I have had enough of dealing with the likes of you 'Cause I could eat your soul with a spoon I have answered all of your questions I have talked a minute or two And you, oh you – 54, 5, 6 and more If I had the chance I’d, If I had the chance I’d roll Your greedy sack right out the door, right out the door Discussing my imagination With a failing actor-musician – where’s your zoo? I think you’re trying to rent me a room You’ve taken all you can from me? Have you burned out all the lights? To dimiss me Zoology - your mind Soaring ahead, vulture of mine You need to taste our muse Haven’t you? True blue You oughta see the line To crawl into bed, loveable swine You talk about your pop stars Real art’s so divine Inside Out Help me from myself Help me from the inside out If you gotta game to show me, then you’ve got a game to show me Help me with everything that’s stomping up on my brain Save me from the shelf Save me please right now from drying out Stomping on my brain and getting in the way Bending from the strain, I wanna show you Carrying a weight, nothing good to say Driving you away, but I wanna show you Changing your name, planning your escape Just melt away and lose it when you’d hoped to… Love one day, empty picture frames Hopeless tirade and a long-limbed ghost who Sold you out for fame and pricy champagne With winking old-maids and all they’d plan to… Cleaning the slate, winning the day Death’s been staged, just take what they give you Fortuna Outside of all control Tragedy meets casual Lay down, stay down You break my heart with hope You burn my only home Luck is all I ever need My luck is all I ever need We will always be untouched |
