A street in paris in the rain
I shoot in black and white a hundred frames
I watch your make-up
Begin to run
An Island in the DarknessLike a fuse to the end will burn
Like a wave when the tide has turned
You keep on coming regardless
You won't accept defeat
And in the light of a cold grey dawn
When all seemed lost and you felt so forlorn
You sensed a warmth surround you
And The Wheels Keep TurningThe Fugitive

And the wheels keep turning, all the time,
But there's no pounding or purring, not a sound,
Just a feeling of stirring, hold them down, hold them down, hold them

I was walking along at the end of the day
I Wanna Change The ScoreI wanna be in another place
Some other body and someone else's face
Don't wanna be in here
I need a space I can disappear
I wanna play me a different part
Another feeling in someone else's heart
Don't wanna cry out loud
Don't wanna show you I'm too damn proud.

I want to tell you all about a young man
He'll be known as dan
Then he was living down in san diego
Drove an ice-cream van
The BorderDry forever the sun blinds off the whitewashed walls
Unbelieving she looks up from the unswept floor
You don't have to go you don't have to tell me
All that talk of lofty causes wrapped in foolish pride
That's a lie
That you don't have to tell me
