on fire When they feel like something new
BIG TV
And you can get me work But I can’t work for free I’ve got a room downtown With a bed and a big TV If you can raise a star From garbage on the street Then you can make a modern life For a modern girl to lead But why can’t anything be real? Emotion like the movies feel
Slow I’m gonna settle down slow Down to the home of Electric life and soul Faith In my hands a trait But for the word I The light of a bitter say And you can get me work But I can’t work for free I’ve got a room downtown With a bed and a big TV If you can raise a star From garbage on the street Then you can make a modern life For a modern girl to lead Alone I feel alone When I’m living in a building Like a tooth in heaven’s throat True It’s a beautiful view But you know they’re gonna set it
So bring me to the hand of fate The river on a new So I can wash the empty hours away But why can’t anything be real? Emotion like the movies feel So bring me to the hand of fate The river on a new arcade And you can get me work But I can’t work for free I’ve got a room downtown With a bed and a big TV If you can raise a star From garbage on the street Then you can make a modern life For a modern girl to lead Cause I’m living in a room downtown With a bed and a big TV
Just trying to pick my feelings undone
THERE GOES OUR LOVE AGAIN
There goes our love again Forgive my heart, forgive my heart There goes our love again Elate my heart and take the time That’s burning at the back of my mind Cause I’m broken and blind And holding up the jar of desire There goes our love again I didn’t go far I didn’t go far I didn’t go far And I came home I didn’t go far I didn’t go far I didn’t go far And I came home But he said there goes our love again There goes our love again Home is a desperate end Cocoon my heart, cocoon my heart And carry me to love again Cocoon my heart and bring me calm Hushing at the fear and the love I know you’re open and out
There goes our love again I didn’t go far I didn’t go far I didn’t go far And I came home I didn’t go far I didn’t go far I didn’t go far And I came home But he said there goes our love again But he said there goes our love again There goes our love again I didn’t go far I didn’t go far I didn’t go far
FIRST TIME CALLER Darling, we’re starting, she said We go alive in a heartbeat Waiting for something in my car A little hope out of nothing And through the hum on the line She said I was a first time caller But a long time listener I’ve been waiting a while to talk to you She said I was a first time caller But a long time listener I’ve been waiting a while to talk to you Falling like trash from the sky I hit a patchwork of loneliness, crooked and wild Hung from the stars and dropped through the night To a heatwave in hard placelessness, neon tiles And I got nothing but time She said I was a first time caller But a long time listener I’ve been waiting a while to talk to you She said I was a first time caller But a long time listener I’ve been waiting a while to talk to you
I want you to love me More than I love you Tell me if that’s something you can do I want you to love me More than I love you Tell me if that’s something you can do First time caller, long time listener First time caller, long time listener First time caller, long time listener First time caller, long time listener
Love and other nonsense we’ve made
GETTING EVEN
Now if we kiss Then the moon in the sky We’d linger awhile We’d linger awhile So as to give Just an inch more of night But you break from my life No more kiss, no more I But listen to some reason There’s nothing in your dreams
So if you go And leave recklessly We can only be me We can only be me That’s something I Through the tons of my life Never wanted to be Never wanted to be But if you stay Just a bolt in the ball Then you’ll never know Then you’ll never know How you could miss Like the day light the way You’re missing us now You’re missing us now So listen to some reason There’s nothing in your dreams But if you’re getting even You’re getting even Trying to get even Better start believing I can forgive And we can forget Even after all this
But if you’re getting even You’re getting even ... It’s the worst part of the best of me, best of me Love and trying so hard to be free Worst of the best of me, best of me Love and trying so hard to be free Lonely but free And out of love If you’re getting even You’re getting even (2x) If you’re getting even You’re getting even Trying to get even Better start believing I can forgive And we can forget Even after all this Wrestling of conscience I can forgive ... You’re getting even You’re getting even And I can forgive And we can forget (4x)
Yes, this fear’s got a hold on me
DEATH
Floating neither up or down I wonder when I’ll hit the ground Will the earth beneath my body shake And cast your sleeping hearts awake Could it tremble stars from moonlit skies Could it drag a tear from your cold eyes I live on the right side, I sleep in the left That’s why everything’s got to be love or death Yes, this fear’s got a hold on me
I love the feeling when we lift off Watching the world so small below I love the dreaming when I think of The safety in the clouds out my window I wonder what keeps us so high up Could there be a love beneath these wings If we suddenly fall should I scream out Or keep very quiet and cling to my mouth as I’m crying So frightened of dying Relax, yes, I’m trying But fear’s got a hold on me Yes, this fear’s got a hold on me I love the quiet of the nighttime When the sun is drowned in the deathly sea I can feel my heart beating as I speed from The sense of time catching up with me The sky’s set out like a pathway But who decides which route we take As people drift into a dreamworld I close my eyes as my hands shake And when I see a new day Who’s driving this anyway I picture my own grave, ‘cause fear’s got a hold on me
E.S.T If you tell me to jump then I’ll die In my dreams I’m there I always hoped that I’d learn how to fly In my dreams I’m there You can tie my hands to the walls But you can’t tie my dreams to this place I might fall like a rock from your heart But you won’t see me fall from grace Fate always loses hold Like electric sparks in my heart Fate always loses hold Now be a good girl and do what you’re told If you tell me to jump then I’ll die In my dreams I’m there I always hoped that I’d learn how to fly In my dreams I’m there I leave my memoirs in blood on the floor And my fears with the nurse on the stairs I’m only going where you’ll be someday So don’t say rest in peace in your prayers Fate always loses hold Like electric sparks in my heart Fate always loses hold Now be a good girl and do what you’re told
I hope you remember me I hope you never pretend for me I hope you remember me I hope you Fate always loses hold Like electric sparks in my heart Fate always loses hold Now be a good girl and do what you’re told I hope you remember me I hope you never pretend for me I hope you remember me I hope you never forget about me I hope you remember me I hope you never pretend for me I hope you remember me I hope you
TO LOSE MY LIFE He said to lose my life or lose my love That’s the nightmare I’ve been running from So let me hold you in my arms a while I was always careless as a child And there’s a part of me that still believes My soul will soar above the trees But a desperate fear flows through my blood That our dead loves buried beneath the mud Let’s grow old together And die at the same time Let’s grow old together And die at the same time I said I’ve got no time, I have to go And I was more right than now I’ll ever know He said my heart is faint, will minds regret And left him crying next to the chapel’s steps Let’s grow old together And die at the same time Let’s grow old together And die at the same time He said? Let’s grow old together
And die at the same time Let’s grow old together And die at the same time He said? He said to lose my life or lose my love That’s the nightmare I’ve been running from So let me hold you in my arms a while I was careless as a child There’s a part of me that still believes My soul will soar above the trees A desperate fear flows through my blood Our dead loves buried beneath the mud A desperate fear flows through my blood Our dead loves buried beneath the mud
and I’m running through the snow towards the sunset and I’m always with you.
FAREWELL TO THE FAIRGROUND
Keep on running, Keep keep on running, There’s no place like home, There’s no place like home. [x5] Farewell to the fairground, these rides aren’t working anymore. Goodbye to this dead town, until the ice begins to thaw.
The lights still in our eyes, We’re leaving this whole fairground behind, It’s a dream that’s going cold. The circus never dies, The act forever haunts these skies, I know we cannot stay. Farewell to the fairground, these rides aren’t working anymore. Goodbye to this dead town, until the ice begins to thaw. This place used to gleam, I see it in my hopeful dreams, now I had to get away. We move towards the stars, and all that we touch becomes ours, let’s keep warm till it’s day. Farewell to the fairground, these rides aren’t working anymore. Goodbye to this dead town, until the ice begins to thaw. We’ll head south, just hold my hand now. I feel like I’m casting off my clothes
We’ll head south, just hold my hand now, I feel like I’m casting off my clothes, and I’m running through the snow towards the sunset, and I’m always with you
BIGGER THAN US You took the tunnel route home You’ve never taken that way with me before Did you feel the need for change? Apologies on your fingernails Love flickered in the city of lights Like intermittent radio waves I don’t need your tears I don’t want your love I just gotta get home And I feel like I’m breaking up, and I wanted to stay Headlights on the hillside, don’t take me this way I don’t want you to hold me, I want you to pray This is bigger than us You went where the horses cry You’ve never taken that way with me before Did you feel the need for change? Guilt smeared across your lips I was tired and cold from the window You’re tired, nothing’s changed
I don’t need your tears I don’t want your love I just gotta get home And I feel like I’m breaking up, and I wanted to stay Headlights on the hillside, don’t take me this way I don’t want you to hold me, I don’t want you to pray This is bigger than us And I feel like I’m breaking up, and I wanted to stay Headlights on the hillside, don’t take me this way I don’t want you to hold me, I don’t want you to pray This is bigger than us And I feel like I’m breaking up, and I wanted to stay Headlights on the hillside, don’t take me this way I don’t want you to hold me, I want you to pray This is bigger than us
BE YOUR MAN I wish no harm to come of you Split bottles in shopping aisles Cold rain in front of you On the inside I wish no hurt to cover you Magazine pictures of city-life Wax smiles, vanilla cream The good eyes Make it an emergency I’ll be your man Free on an open ride Into the maple glow Sail on the dusk, we pull Our love in tow I wish no guilt to trouble you No complications on moral lines Thick dreams of summer dew On the inside I wish no scorn to follow you I’ll be your man, honey I’ll be fine Long days to tower you Don’t cry
