Oh yeah the plane feels small. This is like a dream gone bad. Such a long way to fall From all the grace we had. And we're singing, "Please observe the seat belt sign, For the moment we are all still alive" I feel the panic begin to rise, and My eyes are a little to excited. And all that it takes is like nothing for some I might have made my mistakes, but I will never regret them The moneys all gone, The pain it is leaving She smiles and says, "You're only dreaming." I've got a crucifix I've got a bag of tricks I feel like a wrecking ball I feel it I feel it I like the sound of it I like the taste of it I like the feel of it I like the I like the deep, deep calm. Yeah, I like the deep, deep calm They said, "Please observe the seat belt sign, For the moment we are all still alive" They say "There's nothing more that we can do" And now the pilot is getting pissed at the crew All that it takes is like nothing for some I might have made my mistakes But I will learn to regret them The money's all gone and the pain it is leaving She smiles and says, "You're only dreaming." I've got a crucifix I've got a bag of tricks I feel like a wrecking ball I feel it I feel it I like the sound of it I like the taste of it I like the feel of it I like it I like when the gravity's gone And as the engines fail Oh I keep on feeling higher Yeah I think my future looks bright Now that it's all on fire! Ooh And so the dream begins, And so it ends No arguments help us survive. Oh no Oh on the way you blush with terror Suddenly makes me feel so alive! Ohh Oh

Lately he's been drinking alone Dreaming naked by the telephone Bolting doors and getting stoned Locked and loaded and he's losing hope Ohh And as the sum of all fears Becomes the drum in our ears And someone unlikely says Come and see everything Come out and see the whole world We'll never make it alone Never make it If it's too much to contemplate Just start shaking the hands of fate No one leaves the way they came What you take is what you gave And as the sum of all fears Becomes the drum in our ears And someone unlikely says Come and see everything Come out and see the whole world Come and see it When you turn your back Let your soul go black Black as coal soot Black as a crows foot Lately he's been drinking alone Dreaming naked by the telephone Bolting doors and getting stoned Locked and loaded and losing hope Ohh And as the sum of all fears Becomes the drum in our ears And someone unlikely says Come and see everything Come out and see the whole world We'll never make it alone Ohhh Oh no

Have you felt the weight of your own bones Dragging you down as you face the day? For so many ages you've turned them stones Trying to be a fool instead of a sage. Oh yeah but now you got this feeling Is like all we children are lost. To afraid to pay any cost. Have you read all the words in the unwritten tomes? Scratched into the pages of your reflected face? Can you wash off the dirt from the years on the road? Preaching all the virtues of going insane? Oh yeah well you got this feeling Like all we children are lost Dying like sparrows in frost. Well you wake the world up, and you got their attention Have you really got something to say about it? Cat got your tongue now has it? Have you got the drugs to free it? Well have you really got anything to say? I doubt it. Gotta bring it all back somehow I believe it. Yeah I'll believe it We all need it. We all need it There is a gaping hole inside of me. That I just keep pouring whiskey in, But it's not filling. Though the ancient days of wine and song Are to far gone to ever come back now. Your hopes have been fading for so long Of bringing all the madness back somehow, Oh yeah but now you got this feeling All we children are lost. Dying like sparrows in frost.

Hold me close until my fear subsides. Yeah I might be the only one left alive. Oh pull me out of this sullen field. Yes. I might be too close. I might be too close. We're all alone. We are alone. But I don't know your location. So many ghosts have come and gone. They left a ringing in my ear. We are alive. The world is ice. This is a strange vocation. But I might be too close. I might be too close. I can feel you, Mother. Oh I'm so near you, Mother. We were all so brave on the outside. Oh we painted our very own meaning of love In our letters of blood. Oh Yes It goes so fast, like a bomb blast. The conviction of the righteous is gone. Yeah it goes so fast, like a bomb blast. The conviction of the righteous is gone. Yeah we are alone We're all alone But I don't know your location. So many ghosts they have come and gone. They left a ringing in my ear. To put the blade to those you love This is a strange vocation I might be to close I might be to close I can feel you Mother Oh I'm so near you Mother We were all so brave on the outside. Oh we painted our very own meaning of love In our letters of blood. Oh-ho Yes We painted our very own meaning in letters of blood I saw the frightened faces of the boys coming in for the kill. So many more of them left to cut down before we take that hill. And they said, "Any man here with a merciful thought in his head will be shot where he stands." So we carried out faithfully, down to the letter, all of the Colonel's demands. All the Colonel's commands. Yeah all of the Colonel's demands And in the end we all knew we'd be getting what we got To the devil by a hangman's rope with the whole wretched lot.

All we monsters think we are divinely born. Our fingers pointed to heaven, we direct our scorn. We're not flying, We're not flying We're not flying yet Just naming all the stars Turning, looking backward as we go We've been leaving just tracks across the snow. We're all dying, We're all dying. We're all dying, yeah Yeah we're dying for the things we left undone The perfect words We know we've never spoken Never spoken I built up towers to live on through the stone I was leaving just tracks across the snow. I've been dying, I'm dying. I'm dying, yeah Oh I'm dying for the things I left undone For everything, a time will come And all that I thought went on and on Fade until even the echo's gone And down comes that snow. Obscuring all of my hope. Covering everything I know. Covering all of my hope. Just to be loved Just to be loved Just to be loved Just to be loved Just to be loved not covered over by snow, yeah Creeping down it softly comes Leaves no trace of what once was at all Covers all that I've done Filling in all of the holes Oh, and the glass is breaking And all the beliefs are shaking Even the future that you're making In time will leave you forsaken Oh now this vertigo you feel is brought on By this dizzy, spinning sun. It's not long 'till our time is done And we embrace the dreamless oblivion We monsters think we are divinely borne Our fingers pointing to heaven we direct our scorn We're not flying We're not flying We're not flying Just naming all the stars.

Johnny rocks on his rocking horse Dreaming of the day of the big divorce. Hoping somehow that everything will get better Johnny turns up the music loud. Sings himself hoarse just to drown them out. She wants to leave, but they both know he won't let her. She's not gonna be brave. She's not gonna be to slow. To make her attack When he starts showing his back like a fool yeah. Been made to take all that she could. Mother and child, oh make their escape. Yeah, they left him lying there in a dark pool of his own hate. There was no time to contemplate. In a house by the door, there's a rifle with a rusted sight Taking aim, making sure, going to end it all tonight. He's the lamb with a loaded gun Quietly beggin' her to get it done She looks like a ghost but at least she's not weeping... She's not gonna be brave. But she's not gonna be to slow. To make her attack When he starts showing his back like a fool. Yeah Oh Been made to take al that she could. Mother and child oh make their escape Oh yeah They left him lying there in a dark pool of his own hate There was no time to contemplate Red Black Faces that come undone Beg, Plead And then drop like setting suns Compassion please Not until she's Been broken Been broken Oh now day after day learn to swallow down Bite after bite of all the pride you can She said, "keep your head when he comes Bleed and suffering, Find freedom" Compassion please not until she's Been broken. Whisper: It's ok It's ok It's ok Everything is okay Everything is okay

By now I have learned There's only hope for me if she says so And when all my bridges burn She'll finally be the only road I know Oh she understands The little ways I twist and cough That's the way she learned the price Of living with the safety off By now the whole of her life Has been traded like a pawn That's why she knows the price Of living with the safety on So we tumble through the night We know we just might make it to the day Make it through the day in safety In Safety In Safety In Safety No don't cry No don't cry There's always something new for us to try Come the night, by firelight We'll tear away the cobwebs from our eyes By now I have learned There's only hope for me if she says so When all my bridges burn She'll finally be the only road I know She understands the little ways I twist and cough Now she knows the price Of living with the safety off

Wind up the ancient machine, yeah until you break it. Hold on for the time of your life, yeah you'll learn to fake it, And you got you brand new disease, yeah you've got your shiny car. You live your life on your knees, yeah they tell you who you are That's why you know it's true. You know it's true. I've been holding on for a reaction. It's the same thing every day. All of my tiny distractions, They come and take my life away. Oh Yeah And the whispering of the wise never entertains the fools, And the art of compromise, Is now the only one they teach in schools. How quickly all our seasons go. How slowly we learn who we are. We trade our lives for baggage, Until the weight of it all buries you under. Wind up the ancient machine, yeah, until you break it Know the fruit must come from the seed, yeah, but try to fake it. And they sell you a brand new disease. They sell you a shiny car.

And the art of compromise Pays for all their swimming pools How quickly all our seasons go. How slowly we learn who we are. We trade our lives for baggage. Until the weight of it all just breaks your fucking balls! Yeah They say that to the grave the soul is all you take So don't make this mistake of trading it in for a trinket. Oh I guess you just gave it up, Oh this fucking modern life! Nowadays there's something to be said For a quitter!

I don't want to be mean. I don't want to be cruel, But sometimes I feel I've got to drink till I drool, And take all the weight of the world from my shoulders And Put it on you. I don't want to break free, Don't want to head south, But I hear destiny calling and it's using my mouth To shake off the weight of the world from my shoulders And lay it on you. Oh so I'm packing my bags, and I'm heading down to Hollywood. Yeah, I'm taking my things and I'm leaving today for Hollywood. Yeah I've deepened my tan, and I've shallowed my wit. And I thank you for listening to my latest hit. And I kneel and I pray everyday to my TV To tell me what's true. Oh I'm nauseated by nice I'd like to be kind Oh but I'm starting to feel Like I'm losing my mind I'm surrounded by plastic and sunshine And it's just to good to be true. Yeah so I'm packing my bags and I'm leaving today for Hollywood. Yeah, I'm taking my things, and I'm heading down south to Hollywood. Oh Go Thank You AH-Ha I can hear my destiny calling me to Hollywood. Oh ready or not 'cause we're all going to Hollywood. Yeah you're gonna love all the looks That you'll be getting in Hollywood. Go ahead and leave all your books You won't need any in Hollywood.

Feel the light upon me looking in the window. Feel the warmth of our innocence fade away. As the pleasures we seek run so go our virtues. Don't call it love, don't call it hate, It's just this moment between you and I. Long gone, Long gone While we were looking for comfort, We let everything fall to pieces. And in my naiveté I threw your childhood away. Yeah We look for the thrill that's perfect until The taste of the act has a lasting impact. Yeah watching through the window, But I never know why Somebody gave you something That just can't be denied and it's Long gone, Those days, Long gone, Those days. Well, now that we've played with the blade, yeah We've learned that it cuts going both ways. So we raise the flag of bitter surrender... were not alone And I know that I will always remember The other voice on the phone. Feel the light upon me looking in the window No don't call it love, don't call it hate It's just a moment between you and I Oh No (Ever seen a sheep in a slaughterhouse? He's scared, Panicked. So he huddles with the rest of the flock, Moving when they move. He's a good little sheep just Keeping out of trouble, keeping out of the way. Suddenly a gate opens, and it's a way out, he's Running down a long passage, because to the sheep it Looks like freedom, but...)

He pulls open his eyes as he rides into town. Oh the blood on his hands is washed down by the rain. Those bloodthirsty hangmen of Pilate are waiting no more, Now that their crimson stories are told To the drain, To the drain. By this time he knows that it's too late And the other cheek is far too tired And he knows that the end of it all Is the only diamond that keeps him... Inspired Oh yeah That he keeps him inspired Oh ho oh He sleeps in a payphone and dreams of the sea Yeah when he wakes he's still aching and cold and alone Yeah he looks back to the childhood he had Before all the children went mad He loves that revolver like it was a Precious stone. And by this time he knows that it's too late, And the other cheek is far too tired, And he knows that the end of it all Is the only diamond that keeps him... Inspired. A new lethal freedom keeps him warm It is the light and the way Cabaret actor now proselyte. Keen scrutinizer and new parasite And he... Looks for the Nazarene in every dirty magazine. Looks for the Nazarene in every dirty magazine. Yeah No Oh yeah Uhh Oh he sees again just what the world is made of Oh keeps firing repeating, "God is love." Sees again just what the world is made of. Oh keeps firing repeating, "God is love," "God is love" Now he sees again just what the world is made of. Sees what the world is made of.

Raise a glass and have a toast for our lives, But just don't stop at one. Dressed in our finest with our rosy cheeks aglow. We face the dying sun. All as one we Breathe So the days were long and the nights were bad Time erased the dreams we had Still we played on till the curtain call There is a thief who's in the yard And he's stealing from the dogs There is a dog that's fast asleep upon my feathered bed There is a girl that finds it hard To stop laying down and giving There are some rules but no one knows Just where we left them The world is in my head The world is in my heart My head and my heart are in the world Don't ask us to wait No we don't have time for that We can't be held Below the speed of light Oh no don't as us to wait Our time is running fast Not one second wasted will come back. And the days were long and the nights were bad Time erased the dreams we had Still we played on till the curtain call. And the days were long and the nights were bad Time erased the dreams we had Still we played on till the curtain call. And the days were long and the nights were bad Time erased the dreams we had Still we played on till the curtain call.
