You're really something else
Made me forget myself
My lights came on
When I got to you
You were almost through
You're almost gone


Don't let it get you down
Don't let it get you down
The moon and the stars goes crashing round
Don't let it get you down


An angel walked amongst us
Tried but couldn't love us
Somethings wrong
Since you've gone you know
There's nothing and no one
To hang love on

Lyrics
So tell me how it feels
Tell me how it feels
To touch the flame
Tell me who I am
Tell me who I really am
What's my name


Don't let it get you down
(when you're alone)
Don't let it get you down
(when you're alone)
The moon and the stars goes crashing round
(when you're alone)
Don't let it get you down


Don't let it get you down
(when you're alone)
Don't let it get you down
(when you're alone)
The moon and the stars goes crashing round
(when you're alone)
Don't let it get you down


Don't let it get you down
(when you're alone)
Don't let it get you down
(when you're alone)
The moon and the stars goes crashing round
(when you're alone)
Don't let it get you down


God's above us and jesus loves us
If god's above us and jesus loves us
If god's above us
(if you want it, you can get it)
And jesus loves us
(if you want it, you can get it)
If god's above us
(if you want it, come on get it)
And jesus loves us
(right now)
If god's above us
(if you want it, you can get it)
And jesus loves us
(if you want it, you can get it)
If god's above us
(if you want it, come on get it)
And jesus loves us

On your wings you carry me down
Highway to the shore
At your wheel you steer me there
Steer me no more
Me no more


All my leaves are turning with
The changes of the seasons
All my dreams are burning up
And looking for a reason


In my time of living
I just wanted to be true
But I just took your giving
And I stole the truth from you


In the line of duty
I turned upon my heel
LyricsPeeled the skin off beauty
And too much was revealed
Much too real


All my pages into you
Like a book I never read
All my words are words
I wish I could have said


On your wings you carry me down
Highway to the shore
At your wheel you steer me there
Steer me no more
Me no more


All my leaves are turning with
The changing of the season
All my dreams are burning up
And running out of reasons


All my pages into you
Like a book I never read
All my words are words
I wish I'd never said


La la la la la la la la la la

La la la la la la la la la la

(Hitchin' a ride)
La la la la la la la la la la
la la la la
(Down your highway)
La la la la la la la la la la

La la la la la la la la la la

I want to be like you
I want to fly, fly, fly
Want you to take me to
All of your sky


Why don't you kneel me down
Why don't we try, try, try
'Cause when we come around
That's when I fly


'Cause I don't want to go under
It's only just begun
I want to be there when you come
I want to be there when you come


I want to be like you
I want to laugh and cry
About the things we do
LyricsNever ask why


'Cause I don't want to go under
It's only just begun
I want to be there when you come
I want to be there when you come


I want to be like you
I want to fly, fly, fly
Want you to take me to
All of your sky


I want to paint the town
And drink it dry, dry, dry
And when the lights go down
I'll say goodbye


Through the rain and the thunder
I'm heading into the sun
I want to be there when you come
I want to be there when you come
(I want to be there)
I want to be there when you come
(I want to be there)
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la

There's no more wishes in the well
No more dreams to sell
No time in the hourglass
There's no more lies for you to tell
Your heaven is your hell
You future dying in the past


Evergreen
Ever, ever, evergreen
Evergreen
Ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah


I know I'm never going to learn
Fingers fit to burn
You can't let the fire die
Keep the flame of your desire
Always rising higher
Aim for the stars and hit the sky
Lyrics

I'm gonna lift you up
I'm gonna lie you down
I'm gonna be the king of kings
You're gonna rise above
All of the other stuff
You'll be the queen of everything


Nothing's gonna be the same
Nothing's gonna be the same
I'll fly tonight
I'll fly tonight
Into your light


I'm gonna mess you up
I'm gonna let you down
I'm gonna cut you to the bone
You're gonna lose your nerve
You're gonna learn to hate
You'll have a life you've never known
Lyrics

Nothing's ever gonna change
Nothing's ever gonna change
I'll fly tonight
I'll fly tonight
Into your light
I'll fly tonight
I'll fly tonight
Into your light


If I should fall
From such great height
Will be I be caught
Mid-flight
If I should steer
As far and wide
Will you be near
When I go wrong


I'm gonna lift you up
I'm gonna lie you down
I'm gonna be the king of kings


Nothing's gonna be the same
Nothing's ever gonna change
I'll fly tonight
I'll fly tonight
Into you light


If I should steer
As far and wide
Will you be near
When I go wrong
When I go wrong
When I go wrong
When I go wrong
Will I go wrong
Will I go wrong

I want it now I want it now
Not the promises of what tomorrow brings
I need to live in dreams today
I'm tired of the song that sorrow sings

And I want more than I can get
Just trying to trying to trying to forget

I'd walk to you through rings of fire
And never let you know the way I feel
Under skin is where I hide
Love that always gets me on my knees

And I want more than I can get
just trying to trying to trying to forget

Nothing ever lasts forever
Nothing ever lasts forever
Nothing ever lasts forever
Nothing ever lasts forever

LyricsI want it now I want it now
Don't tell me that my ship is coming in
Nothing comes to those who wait
Time's running out the door you're running in

So I want more than I can get
Just trying to trying to trying to forget

Nothing ever lasts forever
Nothing ever lasts forever
Nothing ever lasts forever
Nothing ever lasts forever

All the shadows and the pain are coming to you
All the shadows and the pain are coming to you
All the shadows and the pain are coming to you
All the shadows and the pain are coming to you
All the shadows and the pain are coming to you
All the shadows and the pain are coming to you

Here I go
It must be four in a row
I gotta get my head down tonight
But you know I know
When the streets are aglow
I'll be heading for the city of light


You talkin' to me?
'Cause I don't wanna know-no-no-no
You can't even see
What's already on show-oh-oh-oh


I'm hitting my prime
And you're wasting my time
You're denominator commonest low
My head's burning up
And I'm down on my luck
See you in the 48th row

Lyrics
With a matchbox full
And a sulphurous skull
Trying to set my mind to rights
I'm gonna burn, burn, burn,
As the universe turns
Out of mind and out of sight


You talkin' to me?
'Cause I don't wanna know-no-no-no
You can't even see
What's already on show-oh-oh-oh


Baseball Bill went in for the kill
He blew it when he found his soul
Lost his will to live
When he saw someone give
'Cause giving always takes its toll


You talkin' to me?
'Cause I don't wanna know-no-no-no
You can't even see
What's already on show-oh-oh-oh


You talkin' to me?
'Cause I don't wanna know-no-no-no
You can't even see
What's already on show-oh-oh-oh


Ooh Baseball Bill
Ooh Baseball Bill
Ooh Baseball Bill
Ooh Baseball Bill
Ooh Baseball Bill
Ooh Baseball Bill
Ooh Baseball Bill
Ooh Baseball Bill

Hey now love,
I'm right in the middle of
A hurricane that's blowing my way
God's above us
And all he's really thinking of is
How much pain we've gotta pay


Why do you do it
'Cause it does for you
Why do I do it
'Cause it does me too
Don't mind if I do
No, I don't mind if I do
Yeah, yeah


Hey now love,
Why are you so scared of
The light that breaks the darkest days
I've done stuff
LyricsAnd things you've never heard of
Souls lost along the way


Why do you do it
'Cause it does for you
Why do I do it
'Cause it does me too
Don't mind if I do
No, I don't mind if I do
Yeah, yeah


Hey now love,
What are you made of
From the clay unto the dust
It isn't love
That you're afraid of
It's losing faith in all you trust


Why do you do it
'Cause it does for you
Why do I do it
'Cause it does me too
Why do you do it
'Cause it does for you
Why do I do it
'Cause it does me too
Don't mind if I do
No, I don't mind if I do
Yeah, yeah

you said you could make it disappear
make my pathway clean and clear
you said I was just a touch away
but I'm not even close
no, nowhere near

you said you could make it disappear
make my pathway clean and clear

how do you wanna go?
should we go together?
I don't want to go
going to live forever, live forever

the shadows in the fog are moving in
from the world outside to my world within
I'm sucking on the dust that moves the air
the pieces move, but I'm still there

the shadows in the fog are moving in
from the world outside to my world within
Lyrics
how do you want to go?
calm or stormy weather
if we've got to go, let's go together
together

you said you could make it disappear
make my pathway clean and clear
you said I was just a touch away
but I'm not even close
no, nowhere near

you said you could make it disappear
make my pathway clean and clear

how do you want to go?
(I don't know...)
should we go together?
(I don't know...)
I don't want to go
going to live forever, live forever

live forever
live forever
live forever
live forever
live forever
(ooo, ah la, la la la la la la...)

Gazed in the crystal ball
Looks like I'm lost again
Where do I find the tunnel's end (eternal Zen?)
Follow the rise and fall
Of all the better men
From here to Bethlehem

All free souls beware
The moon is in my head

Around the empire state
I saw the angels fly
Heaven above and Thames below
We don't have long to wait
Ran out of alibis
Ran out of things I've ever known

The streets were paved with snow
and I saw your halo glow

And this love is just for you
And all your love
Will learn to love me too
Love me too

All free souls beware
The moon is in my head

And this love is just for you
And all your love
Will learn to love me to
Love me too

The moon is in my head

. . .


Who's gonna hold you
When you're too scared to feel
Who's gonna cure you
When the pain won't heal
Who's gonna be there
When the world goes wrong
Who's gonna tell you
You're the only one

In my blood
In my soul
In this mind of mine
Can your touch
Turn me cold
Make my glitter shine

Who's gonna reach you
When you can't be caught
Who's gonna teach you
What you can't be taught
Who's gonna beat you
When you won't be fought
Who's gonna buy you
When you can't be bought

In my blood
In my soul
In this mind of mine
Can your touch
Turn me cold
Make my glitter shine

Who's gonna pray for you
When you're too young to kneel
Who's gonna fake it
When it gets too real
One more question answered
In the falling star
I heard they found
Death on Mars

In my blood
In my soul
In this mind of mine
Can your touch
Turn me cold
Make my glitter shine

In my blood
In my soul
In this mind of mine
Can your touch
Turn me cold
Make my glitter shine

Ah ah ah
La la la
La la la la
La la la li

I'm just one of many
Gave a love in vain
Sold it out for pennies
Saved up all my reign (rain)


What do you want from me
The ocean or the sea
The salt inside the rising tide
Tears you got from me
Got from me
Got from me, yeah


One day I'll be ready
To take what could be mine
Everything I'd buried
I lay out on the line


What d'you want to see
LyricsThe truth or mystery
A blinding light, a blackest night
They're both inside of me
Inside me
Inside me, yeah


I'm just one of many
Took a love in vain
Sold it out for pennies
Saved up all my reign (rain)


What d'you want from me
The truth or mystery
The salt inside the rising tide
Tears you got from me
Got from me
Got from me, yeah


I don't want to be forgiven
All I want is to be free
I know I'll never be forgiven
I know I'll never be free
