I'm on the corner waiting for a light to come on, That's when I know that you're alone. It's cold in the desert, water never sees the ground, Special unspoken without sound.
Told me you loved me, that I'd never die alone Hand over your heart let's go home. Everyone noticed, everyone had seen the signs, I've always been known to cross lines.
I never ever, cried when I was feeling down, I've always been scared of the sound. Jesus don't love me, no-one ever carried my load, I'm too young to feel this old.
Here's to you, here's to me, oh to us, Nobody knows Nobody sees Nobody but meeeeeee!
We can never go home We no longer have one I'll help you carry the load I'll carry you in my arms The kiss of the snow The crescent moon above us Our blood is cold And we're alone But I'm alone with you
Help me to carry the fire We will keep it alight together Help me to carry the fire It will light our way forever
If I say shut your eyes If I say look away Bury your face in my shoulder Think of a birthday The things you put in your head They will stay here forever Our blood is cold And we're alone, love But I'm alone with you
Help me to carry the fire We will keep it alight together Help me to carry the fire It will light our way forever
Help me to carry the fire We will keep it alight together Now help me to carry the fire It will light up our way forever
If I say shut your eyes If I say shut your eyes Bury me in suprise Where I say shut your eyes
Help me to carry the fire We will keep it alight together Help me carry the fire It will light our way forever
The most familiar room Every implement was leading to you And your homely sense of dissaray Never once the same Always rearranged But things would never change In the seam between the window frame Where the jackals preyed on every soul Where they tied you to a pole And stripped you of your clothes
I was a dreamer Staring at windows Out onto the main street Cause that's where the dream goes
And each time they found fresh meat to chew I would turn away and return to you You would offer me your unmade bed Feed me till I'm fed And read me till I'm read But when the morning came You would catch me at the window again In an eyes wide open sleeping state Staring into space With no look upon my face
I was a dreamer Staring at windows Out onto the main street Cause that's where the dream goes
And when I got older When I grew older Out onto the streets I flew Released from your shackles I danced with the Jackals And learned a new way to move So before you take this song as truth You should wonder what I'm taking from you How I benefit from you being here Lending me your ears While I'm selling you my fears
I was a dreamer (I'm selling you my fears) Staring at windows (I'm selling you my fears) Out onto the main street (I'm selling you my fears) Cause that's where the dream goes (I'm selling you...)
I was a dreamer Staring at windows Out onto the main street Cause that's where the dream goes
I used to write, I used to write letters I used to sign my name I used to sleep at night Before the flashing lights settled deep in my brain
But by the time we met By the time we met the times had already changed
So I never wrote a letter I never took my true heart I never wrote it down So when the lights cut out I was left standing in the wilderness downtown
Now our lives are changing fast Now our lives are changing fast Hope that something pure can last Hope that something pure can last
It seems strange anekatips How we used to wait for letters to arrive But what's stranger still Is how something so small can keep you alive
We used to wait We used to waste hours just walking around We used to wait All those wasted lives in the wilderness downtown
oooo we used to wait oooo we used to wait oooo we used to wait Sometimes it never came (oooo we used to wait) Sometimes it never came (oooo we used to wait) Still moving through the pain (oooooo)
Never took a punch In the ribcage sonny? Never met a soul Who had no shrine Keep this all in your mind And get inside my window
What do we become Trying to kill each other? You're faking it son Gonna get you tonight I suck another breath To the hearts of the Revolution 'Cos it still ain't right
Where did all the love go? I don't know, I don't know [I bet you can't see it] Where did all the love go? I don't know, I don't know [I bet you can't see it]
Can't see the signs Of a real change a commin' Take another sip From this hobo's wine Get yourself a million miles From this concrete jungle
This is a time Full of fear full of anger A hero's exchange for a telephone line Whatever happened to the Youth of this generation? 'Cos it still ain't right
Where did all the love go? I don't know, I don't know [I bet you can't see it] Where did all the love go? Now I don't know why Oh why
The rivers on the pavement Are flowing now with blood The children of the future Are drowning in the flood
Where did all the love go? Now I don't know why I don't know why
[instrumental]
In this social chaos There's violence in the air Gotta keep your wits about you Be careful not to stare Oh-oh-oh-oh
Where did all the love go? I don't know, I don't know [I bet you can't see it] Where did all the love go? Now I don't know why Oh why [I bet you can't see it]
So your home town's bringing you down Are ya drowing in the small talk and the chatter Or you gonna step into line like your daddy done Punching the time and driving lifes long letter
You've been howing at the moon like a slack jaw fool And breaking every rule they can throw on But one of these days it's gonna be right soon You'll find your legs and go and stay gone
Young man full of big plans and thinking about tomorrow Young man going to make a stand You beg, steal you borrow Ya beg ya steal ya borrow
Well all the friends that you knew in school They used to be so cool and they just bore you Well look at them now, already pulling the plow So quick to take to pain and some moarn you
Young man full of big plans and thinking about tomorrow Young man going to mak a stand You beg steal you borrow You beg you steal you borrow
Dreaming of the day You're gonna pack your bags Put the miles away Oh, just grab your girl and go Where no one knows you What will all the old folks say?
So the home town's bringing you down Are you drowing in the small talk and the chatter? Or you gonna step into line like your daddy done Punching the time and driving lifes long letter
Young man full of big plans and thinking about tomorrow Young man going to make a stand You beg, steal you borrow You beg you steal you bor
No food on my table. And no shoes to go on my feet. No food on my table. And no shoes to go on my feet. My children cry for mercy. They got no place to call your own.
Hard times, hard times. Hard times seem like a jealous thing. Hard times, hard times. Hard times seem like a jealous thing. If someone don't help me. And I just can't be around three months long.
No shoes on my feet. And no food to go on my table. Oh no, too sad. Children crying for bread.
Gravity is working against me And gravity wants to bring me down
Oh I'll never know what makes this man With all the love that his heart can stand Dream of ways to throw it all away
Oh Gravity is working against me And gravity wants to bring me down
Oh twice as much ain't twice as good And can't sustain like a one half could It's wanting more That's gonna send me to my knees [repeat]
Oh gravity, stay the hell away from me And gravity has taken better men than me (now how can that be?)
Just keep me where the light is Just keep me where the light is Just keep me where the light is C'mon keep me where the light is C'mon keep me where the light is Oh... where the light is! [repeat]
Times are hard You're afraid to pay the fee So you find yourself somebody Who can do the job for free When you need a bit of lovin' Cause your man is out of town That's the time you get me runnin' And you know I'll be around
I'm a fool to do your dirty work Oh yeah I don't wanna do your dirty work No more I'm a fool to do your dirty work Oh yeah
Light the candle Put the lock upon the door You have sent the maid home early Like a thousand times before Like the castle in its corner In a medieval game I foresee terrible trouble And I stay here just the same
Well I lost all I was And it's more than I've tried to be This living here with you And there's no one here besides me And it don't come easy And it don't come too hard But I always wind up Always standing here with you
Things just stay the same People just don't grow so fast And where once I was a child I've found I just can't stay like that
You say it doesn't matter If things just stay the same You say it doesn't matter And then maybe stay the same Or when It really doesn't matter If I really was to blame Really was to blame And sad that it shows
Stand up straight at the foot of your love I'll lift my shirt up Stand up straight at the foot of your love I'll lift my shirt up
I was carried to Ohio in a swarm of bees I never married but Ohio don't remember me
Lay my head on the hood of your car I take it too far Lay my head on the hood of your car I take it too far
I still owe money to the money to the money I owe I never thought about love When I thought about home I still owe money to the money to the money I owe The floors are falling out from everybody I know
I'm on a bloodbuzz Yes I am I'm on a blood buzz I'm on a bloodbuzz God I am I'm on a blood buzz
I was carried to Ohio in a swarm of bees I never married but Ohio don't remember me
I still owe money to the money to the money I owe I never thought about love When I thought about home I still owe money to the money to the money I owe The floors are falling out from everybody I know
