I see you falling
How long to go before you hit the ground
You keep on screaming
Don’t you see me here
Am I a ghost to you

Now your grip’s too strong
Can’t catch love with a net or a gun
Gotta keep faith that your path will change
Gotta keep faith that your luck will change tomorrow
Tomorrow

Why are you phoning
What am I to do when you’re miles away
You’re always calling from the darkest rooms and we’re both scared

Now your grip’s to strong
Can’t catch love with a net or a gun
Gotta keep faith that your path will change
Gotta keep faith that your love will change

Now your grip’s to strong
Can’t catch love with a net or a gun
Gotta keep faith that your path will change
Gotta keep faith that your love will change tomorrow

I’m just out of your range
Tomorrow
All your suffering’s in vain
Tomorrow

Now your grip’s to strong
Can’t catch love with a net or a gun
Gotta keep faith that your path will change
Gotta keep faith that your love will change tomorrow

I got out of your range
Tomorrow
All your suffering seems vain
Change tomorrow
Some forgiveness now
Tomorrow
Love’s no sacred cow

My t.v. is staring at me
it says go to sleep
go to sleep.
Turns me into a siamese twin
where do i start?
the Tv screen begins...
Plugs me into some holy geek
his point in life is incomplete
My Tv is telling me
that only money can make me happy

hold the course and then sail

Across the sattelite beams
across the oceans or seas
to the light house I can be
I see some soldiers with guns
and they are killing for fun
they are killing to entertain me

Caught between that world and this
I'd sell my soul for a bond girl's kiss
Caught between that world and this
I'd sell my soul for a state of bliss

My tv is telling me
that all the money
goes into the military

hold the course and then sail

Across the sattelite beams
across the oceans or seas
to the light house I can be
I see some soldiers with guns
and they are killing for fun
they are killing to entertain me
and then I heard your name
as the spaceman came
he came right thru my screen
and then his lifeline broke
he began to choke
jump cut to another scene

Lost a Friend to the Sea
I lost a friend to the sea

. . .


Help come when you need it most
I'm cured by laughter
Mood swings not sure i can cope
My life's in plaster (i'm past her)

May your wide be wide open
May your heart beet strong
May your minds will be broken
By this heart-felt song

These wounds are all self-omposed
Life's no disaster, disaster
All roads lead onto death-row
Who knows what's after

May your wide be wide open
May your heart beet strong
May your minds will be broken
By this heart-felt song

May your mind set you free
May your heart lead you on
May your mind let you be (opend by the wonderful)
May your heart lead you on
May your mind set you free (be open by the wonderful)
May your heart lead you on
May you mind be open by the wonderfull

. . .


whenever she's feeling empty
whenever she's feeling insecure
whenever her face is frozen
unable to fake it anymore

her shadow is always with her
her shadow will always keep her small
so frighten that he wont lover her
she builds up a wall

oh no, she knows where to hide in the dark
oh no, she's nowhere to hide in the dark

She's a star

she's been in disguise forever
she's tried to disguise her stellar views
much brighter than all this static
now she's coming through

oh no, she knows where to hide in the dark
oh no, she's nowhere to hide in the dark

She's a star

Don't tell her to turn down,
Put on your shades if you can't see,
Don't tell her to turn down,
Turn up the flame.
She's a star

it's a long road
it's a great cause
it's a long road
its a good call
you got it,
you got it,

SHE'S A STAR

[Man 1]
I don't like the world I see,
So I'll avert my gaze to the T.V,
I'm too cool to get involved,
Someone else can change the channel for me.

[Man 2]
Gonna suck the juices out of this world,
Gonna treat her rough it's all she deserves,
She's so cold to me.
Gonna rape this world with my straight lines,
Gonna straighten her out 'cause nature is just history.

There's a hole in my heart,
Your so cruel to me,
There's a hole in my heart,
from your industry
There's a hole in my heart.

[Man 1]
Its no use to get involved,
You'll never stop the world from turning.
I just want to rest in peace,
I can't stop the world from burning.

[Man 2]
Gonna test my bombs wherever I want,
Gonna poon the whale, Gonna drain the swamp,
It's money to me.
Gonna fuck with genes
I am what I am,
Much more than a God,
Much less than a man of Industry.

There's a hole in my heart,
Your so cruel to me,
There's a hole in my heart,
from the industry
There's a hole in my heart

. . .


Baby you're such a tease
with legs that go on forever
Baby come back to me
maybe we'll get Together
Baby come back to me
you're such good company
Baby come back to me
i don't expect you to stay here
i might go Shopping just to...
i'd go out (might go out)
just to buy those things that are eluding me
just to buy something from the mall
just to buy something that's eluding me
with a friend or two
and a friend like you

Baby come back to me
you make it look so easy
Why do i have to try so hard
just to be Happy?
i feel so empty so i might go shopping
just to buy those things that would make me feel
just to buy those things from the mall
just to buy those things that would make me feel much better,
so much better.

and i'll call up my sister
for my sister is my teacher
and she might know what I need
cause its not on the telly
and i'll call up my sister
for my sister needs me
and i'll fix her a cup of coffee
and we'll go to the bank, go to the bank

it all belongs to Caesar
go do the bank

we're going down to Mexico to run away from this culture
go do the bank

i'm going in, I can't receive
i'm going in, I have such dreams
some love life, some love life

. . .


Help's on it's way, I'm lost in space
No protection
Please come and rescue me
I've got no friends, an orphan
Who had faith, who betrayed
Took only a kiss to give me away
Who had faith, who betrayed
Took only a kiss
To blow you away

All in my head
I'll play dead, if you want me to
if you want me all in my head
i'll play dead, if you want me to
if you want me

Who had faith, who betrayed
Took only a kiss to give me away
Who had faith, who betrayed
Took only a kiss
to blow you away

All in my head
I'll play dead, if you want me to
if you want me all in my head
i'll play dead, if you want me to
if you want me

. . .


Leave the room don't use the door
we're only on the 13th floor
your veil is lifting, you've nothing on
every god has had its day, every caesar should be spade
your veil is lifting
and we can see right through your suit of tears
you don't own us, can't control us
Avalanche!

Every face a stepping stone, at the top's a throne of bones
your curtain's twitching, but you can't see past your daily sneer
we don't fear you, now we see you
Avalanche!

Now we got into your shoes, its your turn to be abused
the heat is rising, and you can't hold back this rage with fear
you accused us while you used us
Avalanche!
you accused us while you screwed us
Avalanche!

. . .


You're a late child, you're a love child
It's enough child that your so appealing
You're appealing, you're appealing
To a need that we all have been feeling

You don't fit where you've been put
They're so straight
Straight out of some book
Tried to fake it with a real man
Tried to fill your father's size ten

Alone [living] in this world
You're not a boy or a girl

Don't let them wear you down
What a wonderful ego
You should be so proud
Far out is the life for you
Not just a life that you must make do

Alone in this world
You're not a boy or a girl

Nothing is certain
Every things changed
More than just words
When it's you who's in pain
You hold the chalice
You hold the plate
Bring them together and see what you've made
Facing the future inside a cocoon
Feeling the control when you've been so abused
Alone in this world
Your're not a boy or a girl
You're not alone in this world
You're not a boy or a girl

. . .


Nobody knows
Nobody knows, angel
Your heart is here
Your heart hurts here
When you want to move
When you get your feeling
I've said nothing you will want to see
It's all this spinning
Oh don't you incite me
Oh don't you explain
There is no meaning here
Just a tension forgetting
You've got infinite patience
and the scent of the sea
Love these days when I'm near you
Watering hole... watering hole
Why did you lie
did you lie to me
Why did you say
those thing you didn't mean
my heart hurts here
what a wonderful feeling
I'd had nothing but rain
We just made a decision
It's pain.. it's pain, it's pain
I've got nothing to hold you
got no chest to contain
your cave full of treasures
Watering hole.. watering hole

. . .


Blue pastures - fade away
Green rivers in silver light
I'm walking to the sound of distant bells
So peaceful I don't know who I am
And just when I think its clear It turns all grey again
And I wonder who will find me in the snow
And just when I thought I was free I got pulled in again
Once your in, your in.

Blue pastures calling home
I'm Walking but I can't stand anymore
hear voices can't tell near or far
weird voices - Lay me down
And I don't see why I'm obliged to just carry on
When everything I touch turns out wrong
And I feel I've committed some crime - but I don't know what I've done
One Day Life just wins
One day life just wins

Still breathing but I'm Tired and I wanna go home
Still breathing but i'm not sure anymore
Still breathing But it doesn't really matter if I fade away.
Fall into this sleep - fall into the deep
