  • Lyrics

    You think like a loaded gun as your mind is over come
    Unzipped by stellar fields infinity and love
    They put the big into the bang and said that chaos is the way
    I wanna hide
    I wanna run before I come undone
    So I fall thru' the edge of the day and stare into the night
    In the abysmal atmosphere the stars don't look so bright
    Feeling small wanna crawl now I got nowhere to run
    Let's turn around and dive into the sun

    Dive into the sun
    You know that life's what you make it
    So make it happen the way you want
    Dive into the sun
    You got to know how to take it
    To take it all and be grateful – yeah-e-eah

    You dream in catastrophes you want eternal guarantees
    That don't mean much to me, eternity is free
    A giant leap a step too far? you can count your lucky stars
    I'll read the signs for all our times and count on who we are
    I know
    you you know me gotta help me find a light
    With convoluted attitudes we may as well as might
    Turn it up turn it down now you know you are the one
    Let's turn around and dive into the sun

    Dive into the sun
    You know that life's what you make it
    So make it happen the way you want
    Dive into the sun
    You got to know how to take it
    To take it all and be grateful – yeah-e-eah

    Dive into the sun
    You know that life's what you make it
    So make it happen the way you want
    Dive into the sun
    You got to know how to take it
    To take it all and be grateful – yeah-e-eah

  • Lyrics

    I talk to the empty air
    I guess it's some kind of empty prayer
    To no one who's never there

    It doesn't matter if they exist
    I'm aesthetically atheist
    It only matters I pray for this

    You took the prodigal from my heart
    And gave me a safe place to fall apart
    You know all about me now

    I was a typical crash and burn
    Spent a life that I'd never earned
    It wasn't ever enough somehow

    I'm rooted in this place
    I'm watching your silent face
    I'm sensing my saving grace
    Is rooted deep inside of you

    Had so many trials of style
    Exponentially growing wilder
    Til I was right on the edge of it
    Lyrics

    And it was all down to me I guess
    I must be some kind of holy mess
    I only wanted you to exist

    My conscience is still intact
    I just thought that I would mention that
    It doesn't matter it's just a fact

    Aesthetically atheist
    Cos I'm not sure that I would pass the test
    I only wanna be sure of this

    I'm rooted in this place
    I'm watching your silent face
    I'm sensing my saving grace
    Is rooted deep inside of you

    The measure of consequence
    Is how far down you go before you have the sense
    To pray for deliverance

    I prayed for it more or less
    A lot of empty words I guess
    I only wanted you to exist

    I'm rooted in this place
    I'm watching your silent face
    I'm sensing my saving grace
    Is rooted deep inside of you

  • Lyrics

    Didn't I tell you the way back home
    Didn't I warn you to stay on the road
    Didn't I help you to understand
    That life is just time passing thru your hands

    There's no easy path thru it
    The truth is there is no truth to it
    Moving thru the spotlight
    Don't let the paparazzi world define you
    Now you've made your mark on it
    I know you believed the hope of it
    You know nobody wins
    It's the way you lose that keeps it hopeful

    Didn't I tell you I will be there
    Didn't I show you
    I really care

    You spoke of your plans for it
    You talked all about your destiny
    I could see the rain clouds
    But I couldn't stop the rain from falling
    You tried to go way beyond it
    You'd already made the most of it
    Nothing wrong with dreaming
    Just don't fool yourself about the meaning

    Didn't I tell you the way back home
    Didn't I warn you to stay on the road
    Didn't I help you to understand
    That life is just time passing thru your plans

    You say that you can't let go of it
    That your life only works because of it
    You're afraid that you can't hold on to it
    But your heart doesn't seem so sold on it
    Why not try to believe the heart of it
    Why not try to perceive the art in it
    Why not let me be more a part of it
    Didn't I tell you that I'd be there
    Didn't I show you that I really care

    Didn't I tell you the way back home
    Didn't I warn you to stay on the road
    Didn't I help you to understand
    That life is just time passing thru your hands

  • Lyrics

    I'll dream another day for you
    I'll peel another skin for you
    I'll bare another soul just for you

    I'll bleed another heart for you
    I'll even play the fool for you
    I'll act so crazy just for you

    There's nothing I will not deny
    If you're the sun I'll be the sky
    So many times I've walked right by your side
    So many times I've been a superfly
    But I am not your candy coated crazy little guy

    I'll be the martyr to your cause
    I'll be the star that has to fall
    Anything you want I will be

    I'll fill my head with thoughts of you
    I'll steal the moon and paint it blue
    I'll pull my own strings all for you

    There's nothing I will not deny
    If you're the sun I'll be the sky
    So many times I've walked right by your side
    So many times I've been a superfly
    So many times I've wandered thru your heart
    So many times I've wondered where to start
    So many times I've walked right by your side
    So many times I've been a super fly
    But I am not your candy coated crazy little guy

    There's nothing I will not deny
    If you're the sun I'll be the sky
    So many times I've walked right by your side
    So many times I've been a superfly
    So many times I've wandered thru your heart
    So many times I've wondered where to start
    So many times I've walked right by your side
    So many times I've been your super fly
    But I am not your candy coated crazy little guy

    I will not deny...

  • Lyrics

    You gone and told me ‘bout the Hollywood Hills
    The thrills and chills
    The passion and the pills
    Keep talking

    You told me all about the men you met
    The come and get
    The kiss that you regret
    Keep talking

    You went and told me ‘bout the fame in Spain
    The plain in Jane
    The losing it again
    Keep talking

    You told me all about the sweet sunset
    In love and debt
    The one you can't forget
    Keep talking

    Now you keep talking in your sleep
    You've had it rough
    It went too deep
    I pray the lord your soul to keep
    Lyrics
    I've heard enough
    I'm in retreat

    keep talking me right out of here
    Sleep talking

    You went and told me bout the Italian job
    The Pope and God
    Spaghetti and the mob
    Keep talking

    And how about the little brokedown shack
    The hack ‘n smack
    The scratching Daddy's back
    Keep talking

    You gone and told me bout the Broadway hits
    The diva fits
    The lovers and the splits
    Keep talking

    You went and told me bout the Paris in the spring
    And the nearly thing
    And the diamond in the ring
    Keep talking

    I don't know what I can say
    Cos I can't take it away
    I don't know what I can say to you
    Cos you just took it away from me
    Now you keep talking in your sleep
    You've had it rough
    It went too deep
    I pray the lord your soul to keep
    I've heard enough
    I'm in retreat

    keep talking me right out of here
    Sleep talking

    Fell apart in St. Tropez
    That kind of gave the game away
    Met the set in Martinique
    Couldn't hack the chic-to-chic
    New York new walk big town talk
    Your perfect face was white as chalk
    Trailer trash to all time smash
    Now you're waiting for the burn and crash
    Tragedy in harmony
    You gonna bling til you're back on your knees
    You gonna sing til you're back on your knees
    You gonna ring when you're back on your knees
    Tragedy in harmony
    You gonna bling til you're back on your knees
    You gonna sing til you're back on your knees
    You gonna ring when you're back on your knees
    Monte Carlo boom to bust
    Lost the lustre lost the trust
    Went to Phuket went to hell
    Had to get back into your shell
    LA tripped over your head
    Wanted to jump but you made it instead
    Trailer trash to all time smash
    Now you're waiting for the burn and crash

    A tragedy
    Yeah, yeah, yeah
    Keep talking
    Sleep talking
    Keep talking
    Sleep talking
    Keep talking
    Keep talking
    Keep talking

    Straight out of mothballs we took the jet
    And flew across
    Gotham in retroglide
    The closest thing to heaven that I found yet
    In a city full of dreamers it's as good as it gets

    Go tell the spider to text the X
    This comic book caper is nine to five
    A seven or eleven and it's a bet
    In a city full of schemers it's as good as it gets

    Me, I'm an eight ball shoot me and win
    There's not a lot love in this city of sin
    Do you ever get the feeling this sun has set
    In a city full of screamers it's as good as it gets

    Calling all the great and the beautiful
    How about a little empathy
    What you gonna do when duty calls
    Send in all the clowns to keep us happy

    Repeat

    Moby or Gobi a deserted dream
    You hear a lot of ghosts in this old town
    Gotta let the fuse blow you right out the net
    In a city full of stealers it's as good as it gets

    Saigon ain't bygones for viet vets
    You don't know what hits you til they call in the debt
    The apocalypse is now and it's still Jack Schitt
    In a city full of dealers it's as good as it gets

    Calling all the great and the beautiful
    How about a little empathy
    What you gonna do when duty calls
    Send in all the clowns to keep us happy
    Calling all the great and the beautiful
    How about a little empathy
    What you gonna do when duty calls
    Send in all the clowns to keep us happy

    Your small time view is so oblique
    You think your thoughts are so unique
    Your squeaky lies are sneaky clean
    Cos you won't say just what you mean
    Now, I don't recognize you

    Oh, I don't recognize you
    You bled me dry and left me high
    Your dirty heart is by the by
    You trash your friends like it's a game
    Then you cry and claim the pain
    Now, I don't recognize you
    Oh, I don't recognize you

    All around it's all around
    All ready to be found
    All ready to take you down
    Down, down, down, down
    All around it's all around
    All ready to be found
    All ready to bring you round
    Bring you round now

    You break your beats and drop your bombs
    Cos everybody else is wrong
    You hawk your dove and say your prayers
    Like you're the only one who cares
    Don't like your TVocricy
    Your karaokeosophy
    Can't take another minute of what you say
    I won't be the bait today
    Now, I don't recognize you
    Oh, I don't recognize you

    All around it's all around
    All ready to be found
    All ready to take you down
    Down, down, down, down
    All around it's all around
    All ready to be found
    All ready to bring you round
    Bring you round now

    Hypno trips a psycho blitz
    You tried it all but nothing fits
    You got a little habit that burns your nose
    A bony fido freaky pose
    You hide your hat behind a stare
    You take the heat out of the air
    A solid state electric sigh
    What made you so angelized
    Well, I don't recognize you
    And I won't angelize you
    And I won't angelize you
    Because I don't recognize you anymore

    A walk in the clouds
    Walking together
    You feel yourself
    Walking forever
    The feeling that this is
    Everything to amaze
    And the Universe shines bright in your face
    The love we had was once in a lifetime
    When I held you close you were so precious

    I will still be here
    When the love has gone
    I will always care
    Holding on
    What we had we share
    When the love has gone
    I will still be here
    Holding on

    We had our time
    Captured the moment
    You heard yourself
    Talking of omens
    We were bound to lose faith
    Cos love is for lovers
    Aimlessly open
    With one another
    Deeper yet, As deep as the nighttime
    When you held my heart like it was precious

    I will still be here
    When the love has gone
    I will always care
    Holding on
    What we had we share
    When the love has gone
    I will still be here
    Holding on

    Repeat

  • Lyrics

    Daddy's little manikin likes a good time
    Stretched out in the limousine head all gone
    Hair is pretty astrokhan for the boyfriend
    He is a zoot suited zoon politikon

    Mama's mini Babylon hits the kitchen
    (Can't) find the pills
    that she lives on, it's a plot
    See her world come crashing down, she's looking older
    The Prom Queen ain't so pretty now, like it or not

    It's just another little hell town story
    Another blaze of hopeless glory
    You don't have to end it for me
    It's gonna end all by itself

    Daddy's busy taking it, don't need the money
    Embezzles for the sake of it, its his job
    Tonight he's out and on the make, got a yearning
    Cruising for some cabaret Billy Bob

    Freddy's on the run again, tearing his way
    Thru the streets for fun again, cross that line
    Borrowed Daddy's gun again, no consequences
    Money buys you everything, even crime

    It's just another little hell town story
    Another case of rich man poor me
    You don't have to end it for me
    It's gonna end all by itself

    Can you feel the heat tonight, its aggressive
    Hot enough to start a fight, and it does
    Mama's shooting Daddy now, bang and it's all over
    Turns the gun upon herself, and it's done

    kids find out there's nothing left, all alone now
    Freddy jumps a freight train west, to Hollywood
    Daddy's little manikin still craves the good times
    She's so scared it's frightening, it ain't no good

    Oceans deep
    Drifting as you sleep
    Up on the eternal sea
    A ship sails

    When your ship comes in
    Will you be ready to sail with the tide
    And when your ship comes in
    Will it be a galley full of slaves
    Or a sun streaked schooner

    You came so far
    Between the rocks and shoals
    In the blinding night
    A may day

    When your ship comes in
    Will you step on board with a smile
    Or will they have to pressgang you
    Will the flag that flies in the wind
    Say friend or foe
    Will you know
    Or bear the mark of a pirate bold
    With a treasure chest full of fool's gold
    Fool's gold

    When your ship comes in
    Don't try to pack your case with hopes and dreams
    It's all behind you now
    This ain't no Sunday cruise this time you
    don't choose your destination
    And will a silent wave carry you away
    Or will the storm crash down so cold
    I spent a lot of fool's gold
    Fool's gold

    Will you be ready when your ship comes in
    When your ship comes in
    Will you be ready to sail with the tide
    When your ship comes in
    Will you be ready when your ship comes in
    When your ship comes in
    Will you be ready to sail with a smile
    When your ship comes in

  • Lyrics

    I'm moving slowly
    Trying to find my own way
    It's a struggle to get there
    When I'm feeling this way
    Is there someone to call
    I can't seem to think
    How can I go on
    When I'm on the brink
    Pale mornings stale with memories
    I pick up my life and it's empty

    I've had a lot of luke warm
    Faded mutations of love
    I've gone as far as I can
    I need something I am sure of
    Subtle as crows
    Teach me again
    I've learned about lonely
    And nothing ‘bout friends
    Pale mornings stale with memories
    I feed off the lies that were fed me
    I feed off the lies that were fed me

    Can't go on
    On and on
    How can I go on
    I'm calling
    All our lives
    We will strive
    Tell me what it means
    The danger lies
    In trying to fly
    When you've no wings
    In your eyes
    There's a smile
    That's all I need

    I want something to believe in
    I'm tired of feeling this way
    I got nowhere left to get to
    Nowhere to go anyway
    Time moving on
    I reach for the past
    Will you be there
    If I call you at last
    Pale mornings stale with memories
    I pick up my life and it's empty
    I feed off the lies that were fed me
