I wish that I could touch the sky
Elevate me
I hope that I don't burn my eyes
As I drift free
Don't think that I can help myself
Guess it's true

Polythene, Polythene Girl
Wrap me up in a cellophane world
Polythene, Polythene Girl
I'm breaking the seal, never thought I would
I wish that I could heal myself
Addicted to you
Wrap me up in cotton wool
Just to feel new
Don't think that I can help myself
But it's true

Polythene, Polythene Girl
Wrap me up in a cellophane world
Polythene, Polythene Girl
I'm breaking the seal, never thought I would
I wish that I could heal myself
Addicted to you
Wrap me up in cotton wool
Just to feel new
Don't think that I can help myself
But it's true

Polythene (Polythene Girl)
Suffocate, elevate
Suffocate, elevate
But it's true

Polythene, Polythene Girl
Wrap me up in a cellophane world
Polythene, Polythene Girl
I'm breaking the seal, never thought I would
I wish that I could heal myself
Addicted to you
Wrap me up in cotton wool
Just to feel new
Don't think that I can help myself
But it's true

Polythene Girl, Cellophane World,

Got this dagger in my back
The blade inside me burning
Change these colours in my head
Turn to face the real thing
So what about me, what I want to be
What about me, hear me when I speak
(I can't take it, I won't make it)
(I can't take it, I won't make it)

But sometimes I feel it
Do you know how it is
You wake up in the morning and everything fits
I'm still hoping tomorrow feels like this
My perfect day

Twist inside me feel it break
The rubber band keeps turning
See the tracks worn in my face
Hallucinate, I'm burning
So what about me, what I want to be
What about me, hear me when I speak
(I can't take it, I won't make it)

But sometimes I feel it
Do you know how it is
You wake up in the morning and everything fits
I'm still hoping tomorrow feels like this
My perfect day

My perfect day, my perfect day, my perfect day

I can't believe this anymore
I just don't see this anymore
I'm stepping out into the rain again
See my satellite in space
Sending back the weather
Try to find myself some space
Move on up the ladder
(I can't take it, I won't make it)
So what about me, what I want to be
What about me, hear me when I speak

But sometimes I feel it
Do you know how it is
You wake up in the morning and everything fits
I'm still hoping tomorrow feels like this
My perfect day

My perfect day

But sometimes I feel it
Do you know how it is
You wake up in the morning and everything fits
I'm still hoping tomorrow feels like this
My perfect day

My perfect day, my perfect day, my perfect day

It's funny how I watch
The day go by
I'm sitting watching TV Talk shows high
There's banging on the walls
My head aches
I'm drinking out the world that I hate
I had a big car, new clothes, everything
I've had a watch engraved in Switzerland

Today I saw her buying a magazine
It's time to get myself some therapy
How can I stop this
How can I stop this
How can I stop this disease

She's got a new dress on (I'm in cement)
Sits by her radio (I'm in cement)
She's got those x-ray eyes (I'm in cement)
Don't know which way to go

It's funny but I dream for yesterday
I'm blistered by the burns that life has made
I'm staring out behind the window shade
I see her face across the street again
I'm in quick sand sinking in again
I've got concrete shoes and I can't swim

How can I stop this
How can I stop this disease

She's got a new dress on (I'm in cement)
Sits by her radio (I'm in cement)
She's got those x-ray eyes (I'm in cement)
Don't know which way to go.

She's got a new dress on
She's got a new dress on
I don't know what to do
But I know that I must pull through
I can't keep watching you
How can I stop this
How can I stop this disease

She's got a new dress on (I'm in cement)
Sits by her radio (I'm in cement)
She's got those x-ray eyes (I'm in cement)
Don't know which way to go.

She's got a new dress on

Guess I'm stuck in a dream
Surrounded by coloured leaves on the ground
As I stare at the trees
I see one fall down in my hand
As I start to explore
I can't ignore a man
He turns his head around
His face was all worn by the sun

I'm going out for a while
So I can get high with my friends
I will
I'm going out for a while
Don't wait up cause I won't be home
Today

Drifting down a road
Losing myself in a dream
Feel my hands getting cold
Sat in a boat on a lake

I'm going out for a while
So I can get high with my friends
I will
I'm going out for a while
Don't wait up cause I won't be home
Today

Climbing up trying my best
As I sink
Climbing up trying my best
As I sink again

Lying back on the floor
Reaching up high into space
See myself in a glass
I'm counting the lines on my face
Again
I'm counting the lines on my face
Again

I'm going out for a while
So I can get high with my friends
I will
I'm going out for a while
Don't wait up cause I won't be home
Today
I'm going out for a while
So I can get high with my friends
I will
I'm going out for a while
Don't wait up cause I won't be home

Today
Today, Today, Today, Today,

I put my best foot first and it got burnt
Communication always hurts
I've got myself so deep inside a hole
I taste the air go thin as I get old, as I get old
(I don't think so)

She's my hands, she's my hands
Picks me up when I crash down
Build me wings so I can glide
She's my novocaine ride (novocaine)

Pick up the pieces of my world
Glue them together, I wish I could
I can't believe it as the picture fades
Just like a TV, but the sound remains
(I don't think so) no (I don't think so)

She's my hands, she's my hands
Picks me up when I crash down
Build me wings so I can glide
She's my novocaine ride (novocaine)

Feel it as I shake
Shatter illusions fade
Taste my bitter tears
Cut my heart with shears
I don't think so, I don't think so

She's my hands, she's my hands
Picks me up when I crash down
Build me wings so I can glide
She's my novocaine ride (novocaine)

She's my hands, she's my hands
Picks me up when I crash down.

Pull back my skin
Look deep within
Transparent grins
The more you kill me
Just see how it is
Just see how it really is

There's radiation in my head
Can't you see I'm going mad
See the colour of my skin
Turning blue as I breathe in
There's radiation in my head
Suffer for life
My soul divides
I'm reaching high
But no one sees me
Just see how it is
Just see how it really is

There's radiation in my head
Can't you see I'm going mad
See the colour of my skin
Turning blue as I breathe in
There's radiation in my head
Suffer for life
My soul divides
I'm reaching high
But no one sees me
Just see how it is
Just see how it really is

Get it out, Get it out, Get it out

Trapped in my shell
My fingers melt
All by myself, I'm all by myself
Just see how it is
Just see how it really is

There's radiation in my head
Can't you see I'm going mad
See the colour of my skin
Turning blue as I breathe in
There's radiation in my head
Suffer for life
My soul divides
I'm reaching high
But no one sees me
Just see how it is
Just see how it really is

There's radiation in my head
Can't you see I'm going mad
See the colour of my skin
Turning blue as I breathe in
There's radiation in my head
Suffer for life
My soul divides
I'm reaching high
But no one sees me
Just see how it is
Just see how it really is

Radiation, Radiation

There's radiation in my head
Can't you see I'm going mad
See the colour of my skin
Turning blue as I breathe in
There's radiation in my head
Suffer for life
My soul divides
I'm reaching high
But no one sees me
Just see how it is
Just see how it really is
You hear me breathe a little more
And see me walk into the storm
The more you give yourself away

Show it to me one way
I've got to see it all
Scientific radar
Reaching through the storm
There's got to be hope
As people move on
We've go to keep on believing

It's time to give it everything
A world unite let us in
Hear me cry
Suffocate let them die
A better life say goodbye
Hear me cry
I see everything silver and gold
Way up I'm reaching out
Clouds white as snow
There's got to be hope
As people move on
We've got to keep on believing

It's time to give it everything
A world unite let us in
Hear me cry
Suffocate let them die
A better world say goodbye
Hear me cry
Hear me cry
Why don't you hear me
Why don't they hear me
Suffocate let them die
A better life to say goodbye

Sitting back I only wish
Today will turn out fine
And wash away the stain
The poison in my eyes
What do you recommend
I feel my life descending
I'm falling out of reach
Catch me as I bleed (again).
If I could be all by myself
I could be me
If you could see, live with my pain
The thoughts that I keep.
I hate the way they are
Their patronising thoughts
Tried to get inside my head
Ask the question I have read
But one thing makes it hard
Feel so fragile as I cry
So confused yet so alive
So abused the system lied
You lied to me.
If I could be all by myself
I could be me
If you could see, live with my pain
The thoughts that I keep.
Alone...alone.
Hands appeared around my neck
Felt so hard to breathe I stared
As my focus turned to haze
I could see them.
If I could be all by myself
I could be me
If you could see, live with my pain
The thoughts that I keep.
If I could be all by myself
I could be free
If you could see, live with my pain
The thoughts that I keep
Alone, alone, alone.

Staring at the ideal world
The bubble begins to break
Gazing at the ceiling cracks
The more the picture fades.
It's just that I can't see when I'm down like this
I just feel the weight as I try to resist.
Doesn't matter when I can dream away
Life in a stereo world
Something happens I drift away (away, away).
Floating out of sync again
Reaching for a cloud
Levitated high I'm free
Turning myself around.
Just as I feel fine it begins to break
Now the pain is here what a big mistake.
Doesn't matter when I can dream away
Life in a stereo world
Something happens I drift away (away, away).
It just explodes as I drift in
A thousand hands caress my skin
I feel so free as it begins.
Doesn't matter when I can dream away
Life in a stereo world
Something happens I drift away (away).
Life in a stereo world
Life in a stereo world
Stereo world
Stereo world
Life in a stereo world
Stereo world

Looking through the window shade
Stare at streets that bear no name
Now it all looks strange to me
Yesterday seems like a dream

But I often try too hard
To break the routine of my day
Turn around, see what I see,
Can't help wishing it would

Change...
Change again, change again
Unchain myself, I will

See the faces in the crowd
Busy streets they move around
Underground seems such a drag
Waiting still and then we

Change...
Change again, change again
Unchain myself, I will

The more I see, the more it hurts
The more we change, it all seems worse
The more I see, the more it hurts
the more we change it all seems...

See tomorrow
See...
See tomorrow

As it drags me there I fell
A sense of urgency unveil
What's in store for us today?
Read the paper, drift away...
Drift away, away

Oh how I hate to feel this way
(Change, change again)
The more I wait for it to change
(Change again, change, unchain myself, I will)
The more I see the more it hurts
(Change, change again)
The more we change it all seems worse
(Change, change again)
The more I see the more it hurts
(Unchain myself)
The more we change it all seems...

Tangerine turning green
Cellophane window pane
Socialize paralysed
Plastic faces suck me dry
Tangerine
Tangerine
Tangerine
Tangerine

I know it's sad
Life's just a piece of fruit
Touch down, new ground
Stop livin on the moon

I know it's sad
Life's just a piece of fruit
Touch down, new ground
Stop livin on the moon

Twenty eight suffocate
Take a ride see me fly
Detonate, feel it break
See myself disintegrate
Tangerine
Tangerine
Tangerine
Tangerine

I know it's sad
Life's just a piece of fruit
Touch down, new ground
Stop livin on the moon

I know it's sad
Life's just a piece of fruit
Touch down, new ground
Stop livin on the moon

See it as I climb
The rain burns in my eyes
So catch me as I fall away
Tangerine
Tangerine
Tangerine
Tangerine

I know it's sad
Life's just a piece of fruit
Touch down, new ground
Stop livin on the moon

I know it's sad
Life's just a piece of fruit
Touch down, new ground
Stop livin on the moon

They wanna see where they don't see
Put my hand in the guillotine
Throw my hand on the grill again
Screaming out as the water stings
Take a punch in another face
Keepin' up in a city race
Feel the weight of another day
In the maze at the seaway

Home, just take me home
Cause when I see the waterfall
Just like a dream when flowers fall
I see the colours as they run
I see the rainman kiss the sun

Sugarfree is a slip away
Breaking out of the monkey cage
Hear the sirens as they sing
Be the kids of another sin
Something new in a different place
Some one cool may be in his face
Get a life far away from this
Heal the womb with a woman's kiss
Home, just take me home
Cause when I see the waterfall
Just like a dream when flowers fall
I see the colours as they run
I see the rainman kiss the sun

Running free like the blood in me
In my veins should I count to three
Feel the weight of another day
In the maze at the seaway

Home, just take me home
Cause when I see the waterfall
Just like a dream when flowers fall
I see the colours as they run
I see the rainman kiss the sun...

Shoot holes in me
Then you watch as I bleed
Sticks sticks and stones
Break my bones as I speak

Leave me to burn
As I melt in my pain
Watch as I drown
In the tears we have made

Cos we've got to forgive
We've got to forget
Things are changing at last
I hope for the best
But I don't understand
I'm just a man
I'm still trying to see

Love, love it hate
Can't separate, how it is
Deep in a grave, can't pretend
When it's real

Cos we've got to forgive
We've got to forget
Things are changing at last
I hope for the best
But I don't understand
I'm just a man
I'm still trying to see

See a way, move away
See a way
Willl I ever be saved for this
Will I ever be clean

Shoot holes in me
Then you watch as I bleed
Sticks sticks and stones
Break my bones as I speak

Cos we've got to forgive
We've got to forget
Things are changing at last
I hope for the best
But I don't understand
I'm just a man
I'm still trying to see

Cos we've got to forgive
We've got to forget
Things are changing at last
I hope for the best
But I don't understand
I'm just a man

Ocean blue
Deep and cool
Rain on me
Kiss the sea
Clouds in space
The Earth rotates
Satellite ship
