Before your lights go outYou and I
We’re not the same
I’m still tired; you’re to eager for change
And who’s to blame
Our history’s burning and my hearts turning to go
Go
Now these city streets
Blue JeansShe wore Blue Jeans
On the scene, like the pages in a magazine
She got long
hair
Never stare, you could call but she'll never be there
She's at the
corner at the Cafe
Filled with adverts and a waiter named Wordsworth
Close My EyesStop, stop, stop running around on me
I never did anything to deserve it
And I can't go anywhere without
Whispering through your shoulder
So cut, cut, cut me down to size
I don't know anyone who lives for that
And I can't go anywhere without
Throwing wine in my face
Every dirty handEvery time your cold heart breaks
It's second to mine
Tell me if your old bones ache
And try not to cry
You were such an angel
Every dirty hand I shake
Starving StreetsI can see horizons bleed above the starving streets
And people marching north and south to corner shops they meet
It's so hard to be yourself
I tried to say goodbye to them a
Million times, the price was right
People in every direction waving
Their arms up high they look civilized
StonesThrow a stone and watch it roll
Why don’t you see it, why don’t you see it?
Sugar coated cannonballs are headed straight for me
Headed straight for me
Last night I heard the sounds, of footsteps and they were so loud
Say your mine,
Tear Yourself To BitsCome on
And stop at all the lies
White lies, they black out both your eyes
Let go, and let your faith decide
How long your heart can take the ride
And if you go when it's low
You'll never feel the rush
The villageOpen your eyes, look to the skies and stare
Let yourself in, unload your sins and pray
Listen to the streets, feel it through your feet, and I will be there
Listen to the streets, feel it through your feet, and I will be there
While They're WatchingI woke up yesterday
To the sound of
People in my head
And I didn't know their names
And they won't tell me because I won't play their game
Sometimes I get
Crazy from it
WhisperYour winter heart pretends
That all of this won't end
And your lips will sting
And burn, then sing when we kiss
Where streets are paved in gold
A million miles from home
And the flags are raised
You were only a songI only held you for a minute
And you were gone
You grew eyes you grew legs
Then you were only a song
A song that I could sing when the world outside
Grew cold, it got old and I had nowhere to hide
Your tomorrowDon’t you ever stop
You’re a Shepherd and these people are your flock
Under darkness they make haste around the clock
With wings to gather speed
The hunted came to see
How you shelter them and kill for them to eat
So they left a pile of stars, inside the gates
