I've seen you out the corner of my eye
Wishing the world was as easy as you are high
And hey, hey, hey - where did the good times fall?
But you won't say just what you want at all
But I've seen you in the rain
Dancing with that insane smile
Tryn'a work out the way to come crawlin' back
Run and Hide
Run and Hide
I've seen you take a load off, on my mind
Lookin' at all the colours and going blind
And hey, hey, hey - where did the good times fall?
But you won't say just what you want at all
At all.
But I've seen you in the rain
Dancing with that insane smile
Tryn'a work out the way to come crawlin' back
Run and Hide
Run and Hide
But I've seen you in the rain
Dancing with that insane smile

She's got electric probes all connected up to her brain
And all those Ones and Zeroes are driving her insane
But she knows when it's all over,
Everyone will want to know her
And when she trips and falls, yeah she looks at the world with despair
But she don't give a damn
She says 'That's not right', she says 'That's not who I am'
Well who am I?

Blind

See the curtains - behind the big red door?
'Cos it feels certain that I just cannot take no more
Another day's done where you believe your lies
Just a mimic - walking 'round with shadows in your
Eyes, 'cos you walked the line so many times that you've gone blind
And I'm all alone on the little world you left behind
Obsession Beckons Sentiment's Eternity -
I'll Suffer Slowly, 'til the End of all my Dreams
Smiling echoes, loose connections in my head
Wish I'd listened to all the things you never said, and
I walked the line so many times that I've gone blind
and now I'm all alone on the little world you left behind
'Cos we walked the line, but now the line's just in my mind.

Mr Daydream
03:53

To all the crazy people
who are asking what's wrong with my head
Tell 'em I'm singin' Revolution 9
to the ghosts at the foot of my bed
I wanna catch a train,
but I really don't got a destination
and Mr Daydream got pissed and
crashed his car on the tracks at the station
Still, I feel free
Self deprecation guaranteed -
I'm a million Volts, full of lightning bolts
but I just don't got a clue
I'm sitting right-side-up
on an upside down party sofa
and the trees come and go as the please
but they keep getting closer
Still, I feel free
Self deprecation guaranteed -
I'm a million Volts, full of lightning bolts
and I just don't got a clue
Yeah, I'm still here -
intoxicated on doubt and beer
I'm a million Volts, full of lightning bolts
and I just don't got a clue

Long Nights
04:02
|

|
Flicking the thoughts away, day by day
Just passing through
Wandering aimlessly through my mind -
All the broken roads, that don't lead to you
And was it a dream, when everything seemed alright?
The day turns to night again, you're in my eyes
as we both scream and
Help me, there's nowhere to hide
Well, I guess that's it's just someone else's luck
That they've stolen from fate
And I guess what we were's just a memory
Like you'll be one day
'Cos rain can't just fall again, Roses will die
Snared by the light
And if people will live and die, I know I have to try
And put it aside, to get through the long nights
Well, I guess that's it's just someone else's luck
That they've stolen from fate
And I guess what we were's just a memory
Like you'll be one day

For a falling, fading dream I was alive
Another blurred reality in the twilight
Disconnected reason, feeling so tired
And my eyes will open wide, all in good time
Scattered words don't make a sound
And time stands still as my mind drowns
And what for all the noise that's breeding in my brain?
What is to become of what I had to say?
Another hidden truth that noone ever knows
Concealed paradise; where lonely souls will roam
And after all, I wake up here
Where all the colours disappear
Scattered words don't make a sound
And time stands still as my mind drowns
Stellar dream I can't recall:
The brightest light's not there at all

Waterfall
05:03

Evil eyes surround the walls
Angels die, planets fall
Can't you hear the devil call?
She don't lie after all
My mind drowns, and I disappear
Don't make a sound -
All in good time, twilight comes.
Voices sleeping on the floor
Dark knights spy down this hall
Take these lies and learn to crawl
'cos you're just like a waterfall
And my mind drowns, and I'll disappear
Don't make a sound -
'Cos all in good time, twilight comes.
You're a waterfall, my oldest friend
We'll keep on driftin' down these rivers,
'til the end of it all
My mind drowns, and disappears
Don't make a sound -
'Cos all in good time, twilight comes.
You're a waterfall, my oldest friend
We'll keep on driftin' down these rivers,
'til the end of it all
You're a waterfall, my oldest friend
We'll keep on driftin' down these rivers,
'til the end of it all

Gotta love the feeling, when I don't know the meaning
You still hear the notes that I can't hit
Look up at the ceiling, and think what I believe in
My tongue just refuses to commit
'Cos you make my day
A feelgood tune on every single record that you play
And I know you can see
All the words I fail to say and all the things I feel
When the demons hold me back, and I'm falling through the cracks
Your borrowed wings won't let me slip away
Just let me have your light, and we'll cut right through the night -
Dancing like we've nothing else to say
'Cos you make my day
A feelgood tune on every single record that you play
And I know you can see
All the words I fail to say and all the things I feel
Gotta love the feeling - 'cos you know just how to heal me

To An Uncertain Future
05:09

From the edge, I was staring
Over the threshold, into the dark
Bound to depart to a lonely avenue
Swallowed up by the ground
Were faces and places and fragments of sound
Echoes resound as the world turns 'round
'Cos my feet don't feel like mine at all
When tomorrow calls
And these surefire streets ain't roads no more
'Til you take me home
While the days all decay
The knights of forever return in their place
And dance in the rain to a song I never played
And as the sands shift away
The wheels stay revolving on yesterday's train
Memories fade, but our dreams remain
'Cos my feet don't feel like mine at all
When tomorrow calls
And these surefire streets ain't roads no more
'Til you take me home
From the edge, I was staring
Over the threshold, and into the dark
Bound to depart to a lonely avenue
Dim the lights, shut the sky
Give me a moment frozen in time
Ghosts in my mind couldn't save me anyway

All The While

You got a lot to say
You gotta make it heard
And sometimes it's not easy to put it into words
And if you haven't noticed, there's nothing in your way
Just leave the troubles for the troubled, get out that little bubble
Enjoy another sunny day
Sometimes you need to leave your head behind
If you ever wanna get to paradise
You know they'll love you all the while,
As long as you know you made them smile
You know that I believe in real,
And the way the things around me make me feel alive
The sun ain't here for long, just grab it while you can
No point in wasting time that you don't have,
so get up if they knock you down
And if you haven't noticed, there's nothing in our way
Just leave the troubles for the troubled, get out that little bubble
Enjoy another sunny day
Sometimes you need to leave your head behind
If you ever wanna get to paradise
You know they'll love you all the while,
As long as you know you made them smile
You know that I believe in real,
And the way the things around me make me feel alive
Sometimes you need to leave your head behind
If you ever wanna get to paradise
You know they'll love you all the while,
As long as you know you made them smile
You know that I believe in real,
And the way the things around me make me feel alive

These rainclouds in the sky
Keep reaching down for me
They take me to another world where my friends are enemies
And riding on the ghost train, the conductress softly speaks
Reminds me I'm not one of them
And then she takes her leave
And I just ain't got much to say
We're not so much the same, that much is clear
Your smile washed away with the rain
I guess I can't complain now that we're here
So take your little time, and don't forget to speak
Remember to press play and leave your message at the beep
I'll be on my way back, sailing seas of make-believe
Standing there in silence writing heartfelt symphonies
And I just ain't got much to say
We're not so much the same, that much is clear
Your smile washed away with the rain
I guess I can't complain now that we're here
And I just ain't got much to say
We're not so much the same, that much is clear
Your smile washed away with the rain
I guess I can't complain now that we're here
