Why you all salute me, find it all a different story.
All the sinful wheels are turning, turning in and turn towards this
time.
All she asks is when to hold me, then again, the same old story.
We traveled oh, so quickly, travel first to me, towards this time.
Oh, I'll bring them down- no mercy shown.
Heaven knows it's got to be this time.
Watching her, the things she said, the times she cried and failed to
wait this time
Oh, I'll bring them down- no mercy shown
Heaven knows it's got to be this time
Avenues, all lined with trees.
picture me and then you start watching,
watching forever...
forever - watching love grow...
forever - watching love grow...
forever - letting me know...
forever...
Help me, somebody help me. I wonder where I am.
I see my future before me- I'll hurt you when I can.
It seems like I've been here before.
It seems like I've been here before.
It seems like I've been here before.
It seems like I've been here before.
Confusion sprung up from devotion, a halo that covers my eyes.
It sprung from this first estrangement, no one have I ever despised.
Is this the way that you wanted to pay?
Show me, please show me the way?
Is this the way that you wanted to pay?
Won't you show me, please show me the way?
Show me, show me, show me, show me.
Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh.
A heaven, a gateway, a hope.
Just like the feeling inside, it's no joke.
And though it hurts me to treat you this way, betrayed by words, I'd
never heard, too hard to say.
Chorus:
Up, down, turn around, please don't let me hit the ground.
Tonight I think I'll walk alone, I'll find my soul as I go home. <end>
Chorus
Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh. (echo)
Each way I turn, I know I'll always try to break this circle that's
been placed around me.
From time to time, I find I've lost some need that was urgent to myself,
I do believe-
Chorus, Chorus
Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh. (echo)
Oh, you've got green eyes. Oh, you've got blue eyes. Oh, you've
got gray eyes.
Oh, you've got green eyes. Oh, you've got blue eyes. Oh, you've
got gray eyes.
And I've never seen anyone quite like you before.
No, I've never met anyone quite like you before.
Thoughts from above hit the people down below.
People in this world, we have no place to go.
Thoughts from above hit the people down below.
People in this world, we have no place to go.
Thoughts from above hit the people down below.
People in this world, we have no place to go.
Thoughts from above hit the people down below.
People in this world, we have no place to go.
Oh, it's the last time...the last, the last, the last time.
Oh, I've never, never, never met anyone quite like you before...
Oh no, I've never met anyone quite like you before...
How does it feel to treat me like you do?
When you've laid your hands upon me and told me who you are.
I thought I was mistaken, I thought I heard your words.
Tell me how do I feel. Tell me now, how do I feel.
Those who came before me lived through their vocations
from the past until completion, they'll turn away no more.
And still I find it so hard to say what I need to say.
But I'm quite sure that you'll tell me just how I should feel today.
I see a ship in the harbor. I can and shall obey.
But if it wasn't for your misfortune, I'd be a heavenly person today.
And I thought I was mistaken, and I thought I heard you speak
Tell me, how do I feel. Tell me now, how should I feel.
Now I stand here waiting...
I thought I told you to leave me when I walked down to the beach.
Tell me how does it feel, when your heart grows cold, grows cold, cold.
(oo oo are el [or something])
Chorus:
(Confusion) You just can't believe me when (Confusion) I show you what
you mean to me.
(Confusion) You just can't believe me when (Confusion) I show you what
you cannot see. <end>
You're hiding from feelings, searching for more.
Sharing and hoping, untouched for so long.
Our lives still change from the way that we were.
And now I'll tell you something I think you should know.
Chorus, Chorus,
You just can't believe me when I show you what you mean to me.
Confusion, confusion, confusion. You cause me confusion, you told me
you cared.
By causing these changes that last to the end.
Ask me no questions, I'll tell you no lies.
The past is your present, the future is mine.
Chorus
You tell me you need me, I'll make it this time.
The thread won't divide us, the sensation survives.
I was sure that I told you it was good from the face.
You've caused me some problems, you're taking my place.
Why can't you see what you mean to me?
Why can't you see, why can't you see, why can't you see what you mean
to me?
Why can't you see, why can't you see, why can't you see what you mean
to me?
Why can't you see?
I've watched your face for a long time. It's always the same.
I've studied the cracks and the wrinkles. You were always so vain.
Well, now you live your life like a shadow in the pouring rain.
Oh, it's called love. Yes, it's called love. Oh, it's called love,
and it belongs to us.
Oh, it dies so quickly, it grows so slowly. But when it dies,
it dies for good.
It's called love, and it belongs to everyone but us.
I've lived my life in the valleys, I've lived my life on the hills.
I've lived my life on alcohol, I've lived my life on pills.
But it's called love, and it belongs to us. It's called love, and it's
the only thing that's worth living for. It's called love, and it belongs
to us. It's called love, yes, it's called love.
Oh, love is found in the east and west. But when love is at home, is
the best.
Love is the cure for every evil. Love is the air that supports the
eagle.
It's called love, and it's so un-cool. It's called love.
And somehow it's become unmentionable.
It's called love, and it belongs to every one of us.
It's called love, and it cuts your life like a broken knife.
Oh, love, love, love love love, it's called love, and it belongs to
us.
Oh, love, love, love love love, it's called love, and it belongs to
everyone but us.
I stood there beside myself, thinking hard about the weather.
Then came by a friend of mine suggested we go out together.
Then I knew it from the start- this friend of mine would fall apart.
Pretending not to see his gun, I said, "Let's go out and have
some fun."
I know, you know, we believe in a land of love.
I know, you know, we believe in a land of love.
I have always thought about staying home and going out.
Tonight I should have stayed at home, playing with my pleasure zone.
He has always been so strange, I often thought he was deranged.
Pretending not to see his gun, I said "Let's go out and have some
fun."
I know, you know, we believe in a land of love.
I know, you know, we believe in a land of love.
When you are alone at night, you search yourself for all the things
that you believe are right.
If you give it all away, you throw away your only chance to be here
today.
Then a fight breaks out on your street, you lose another broken heart
in a land of meat
My friend took his final breath...
now I know the perfect kiss is the kiss of death.
One of these days...
One of these days...
I like walking in the park when it gets late at night.
I move round in the dark (the dark) and leave when it gets light.
I sit around by day tied up in chains so tight (tight!).
These crazy words of mine. So wrong, they could be.
Chorus: What do I get out of this? I always try, I always miss...whoa.
One of these days, you'll go back to your home.
you won't even notice that you are alone.
One of these days, when you sit by yourself
you'll realize you can't shaft without someone else.
In the end you will submit. It's got to hurt a little bit.
I like talking in my sleep. When people work so hard,
they need what they can't keep, a choice that leaves them scarred.
A room without a view (hai) unveils the truth so soon (hai).
And when the sun goes down you've lost what you had.
Chorus
One of these days...
One of these days...
Yes, I always try...whoa.
One of these days, you'll go back to your home. (One of these days...)
you won't even notice...whoa...
One of these days, when you sit by yourself (One of these days...)
you'll realize you can't shaft without someone else.
One of these days, you'll go back to your home. (One of these days...)
you won't even notice...whoa...
One of these days, when you sit by yourself (One of these days...)
you'll realize you can't shaft without someone else.
In the end you will, In the end you will, in the end you will submit.
It's got to hurt a, got to hurt a, got to hurt a little bit.
Chorus
That's the way - Shellshock, Shellshock, Shellshock, Shellshock.
Chorus:
Hold on- it's never enough.
It's never enough until your heart stops beating.
The deeper you get, the sweeter the pain. Don't give up the game until
your heart stops beating.
(until you heart)
You call me on the phone, you left me all alone. All I get from you
is shellshock.
Another day goes by, and all I do is cry. All I get from you is shellshock.
I tell the world and I save my soul. Rain falls down and I feel cold.
The cold that sleeps within my heart, it tears the earth and sun apart.
But that's the way that I can win, a victim of your evil sin.
You've lost the hold you've had on me by causing the changes that you
never see.
Chorus
When we walk through open doorways, counting time in one or more ways.
We can't find our peace of mind, and life becomes a life of crime.
That's the day I call your name. I came to you, I called in vain.
You've lost the faith within you heart, the fight in your soul from
the end to the start.
Chorus
I've been good and I've been bad, but common sense I've never had.
No matter how I try and I try, I hide the truth behind a lie.
But that's the way that I can win, a victim of your evil sin.
You've lost the faith within your heart, the fight in your soul from
the end to the start.
Chorus, Chorus.
You can walk, or you can run. You don't have to be someone.
I went on a summer cruise, upon an ocean born to lose.
My brother said that he was dead, I saw his face and shook my head.
Can you see where we can't be? We're losing our blood in the sea.
Chorus:
Because it's the state of the nation that's holding our salvation.
Yes, it's the state of the nation that's holding our salvation.
Oh, the state of the nation is causing death inflation.
Oh, the state of the nation is causing death inflation.
From my home I traveled far. I drove in my stolen car.
When it broke down, I kissed the ground because I don't kiss when you're
around.
I don't find that I have been the portrait of an only son;
if that's the case, then who could tell where my story had begun?.
Chorus
Even now, I'm all alone behind a wall that's made of stone.
I think about where we have been and all the sights that could be seen.
I know it all could be worthwhile, if only I could force a smile.
Now we turn our backs (to) the sea, the shame of a nation we'll never
be.
Chorus
Every time I think of you I feel shot right through with a bolt of gloom.
It's no problem of mine, but it's a problem I find, living a life that
I can't leave behind.
There's no sense in telling me, the wisdom of a fool won't set you
free.
But that's the way life goes and it's what nobody knows.
Well, every day my confusion grows.
Chorus:
Every time I see you falling, I get down on my knees and pray.
I'm waiting for that final moment you'll say the words that I can't
say. <end>
I feel fine and I feel good. I feel like I never should.
Whenever I get this way, I just don't know what to say.
Why can't we be ourselves like we were yesterday?
I'm not sure what this could mean. I don't think you're what you seem.
I do admit to myself that if I hurt someone else,
then I'll never see just what we're meant to be.
Chorus, Chorus,
Ah ha ha, ah ha ha ha ha ha. Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha, ah ha ha.
Ah ha ha, ah ha ha ha ha ha. Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha, ah ha ha.
Chorus, Chorus.
I feel so extraordinary, something's got a hold on me.
I get this feeling I'm in motion, a certain sense of liberty.
I don't care 'cause I'm not there, and I don't care if I'm here tomorrow.
Again and again I've taken too much of the things that cost you too
much.
Chorus:
I used to think that the day would never come, I'd see delight in the
shade of the morning sun.
My morning sun is the drug that brings me near to a childhood lost,
replaced by fear.
I used to think that the day would never come, that my life would depend
on the morning sun...
When I was a very small boy, very small boys talked to me.
Now that we've grown up together, they're afraid of what they see.
That's the price that we all pay, and the value of destiny comes to
nothing.
I can't tell you where we're going I guess there was just no way of
knowing.
Chorus
I feel so extraordinary, something's got a hold on me.
I get this feeling I'm in motion, a certain sense of liberty.
The chances are we've gone too far, you took my time and you took my
money.
Now I fear you've left me standing in a world that's so demanding.
Chorus, Chorus.
Caressing the marble and stone. Love that was special for one.
The waste and the fever and hate, how I wish you were here with me
now.
The body that kills and hides matches, an awful delight.
One like a dog around your feet, how I wish you were here with me now.
The hangman looks around as he waits...
Gullet stretches tight and it breaks. Someday we will die in your dreams.
How I wish we were here with you now...
There is no end to this, I have seen your face.
But I don't recognize all these things you must have kept behind.
It's a problem, you know that's been there all your life.
Tries to make you see the world without you that's just some black
and white.
At night it gets cold, and you'd dearly like to turn away.
An escape that fails and makes the wounds that time won't heal.
I know, I know, I know, I know. There is no end to this, I can't turn
away.
Another picture would deceive. History say there is no room to move
or try to look away.
Remember, life is strange. And life keeps getting stranger every day.
A mass of harmless attitudes all tied up all subside no matter what
they say.
You knew your heart beats you late at night your heart beats you late
at night
your heart beats you late at night, your heart beats you late at night,
your heart beats you late at night.
Below the surface this day I need it light inside dimension lies another
sacrifice.
Once out of reach, we never speak, we never compromise.
As they turned to gold the edges froze and seemed to turn to ice .
All flight departures assembled not returned.
Left in these passions I looked but never learned.
There's hope, you heard there's life in another world.
Sometimes you'll find that truth is never kind.
In the ghost lies a portrait of space that time is never here...
In the mind of a fallen man, an easy day in another land.
Ship sails out to sea, away from me, I just stand and stare.
Assassin clears his hands, I know that, and I wasn't even there.
One day it came to mind we even leave the rest behind.
Some day, I know, you'll get where you should go.
There's hope, you've heard there's life in another world.
Sometimes we'll find that truth is never kind.
One day it came to mind we even leave the rest behind.
Some day, I know, we even get where we used to go.
There's hope, you've heard there's life in another world.
(One, two, three, four)
I am for you can enjoy. I can give you. (Give me, give me, give me)
It's a time we love to hate, I can give you .
I am for you can enjoy. I can give you. (Give me, give me, give me)
It's a time we love to hate, I can give you .
I am for you can enjoy. I can give you. (Give me, give me, give me)
It's a time we love to hate, I can give you .
I am for you will enjoy I can give you. (Give me, give me, give me)
This is the time you'd love to hate, I will take you .
I'm quite determined and there will be no more mistakes, no more talking.
I'll bet you hate this...
Oh, I am for you will enjoy, I can take you. (Give me, give me, give
me)
This is the law and you...
I'm quite determined and there will be no more mistakes like the last
one.
I walk along the street, I look into your eyes.
I'm pleasant when we meet, I'm there when you go home.
How many times before could you tell I didn't care?
When you turned your back on me I knew we'd get nowhere.
Do you believe in youth, the history of all truth.
A heart that's left with cold becomes a heart of stone.
Do you believe in truth? The lies we told of youth.
A cause we called our own, beside an empty throne.
How many times before could you tell I didn't care?
When you reached out in your sleep and knew I wasn't there.
My eyes are made of stone, just like your sordid home.
How many times before did you leave my soul alone?
Crows, crows, crows, I hate them, I hate them, I hate them!!!
Crawl across! I wouldn't do that, Dave.
I'm afraid, Dave
My mind is going, there is no question about it.
It was January, 1963, when Johnny came home with a gift for me.
He said I bought it for you because I love you and I bought it for
you because it's your birthday, too He was so very nice, he was so very
kind to think of me at this point in time.
I used to think of him, he used think of me.
Chorus:
He told me to close my eyes my gift would be a great surprise.
I saw tears were in his eyes he never meant to hurt me.
Oh, God, Johnny, don't point that gun at me! There's so many ways our
lives have changed...
but please, I beg, don't do this to me! <end>
Johnny, don't point that gun at me! Can I save my life at any price?
For God's sake won't you listen to me?
And though he was ashamed that he had took a life Johnny came home
with another wife.
And he often remembered how it used to be before that special occasion,
1963...
There's too many ways that you can kill someone...
Like in a love affair, when the love is gone...
Chorus
Johnny, you keep on using me...can I change my life for any price?
Oh, Johnny, won't you listen to me?
Johnny, you keep on using me...can I change my life for any price?
Oh, Johnny, won't you listen to me?
I just want you to be mine, I don't want this world to shine, I don't
want this bridge to burn...
Oh, Johnny, do you miss me? I just want to feel free...
I will always feel free...
I will always feel free...
I will always feel free...
I will always feel free...
