Speak right now, while you're still young
You're an animal when you're in love
Another night, lit empty street
shouting love, drinking whiskey
You have not changed. they just stole your dreams
so go and drown all of your sorrows.
Now what am I, what am I, oh what am I to do?
What am I, what am I, what am I to do with...you?
And all along this cursed street
you curse the ground that runs below your feet,
you shake, you slur a speech
and you pick yourself up straight.
And all the mess you're holding out,
it looms in all it's glory now
but how do know you've lived at all until you've fallen on your...
So phone a friend, say "I'm in distress,
this time moves faster than my head
Let's roam the night and own the streets
shouting love, drinking whiskey"
And all along this lonely street
you curse the ground that crawls below your feet
you shake; the worlds a mess
and it's
happening again.

Killing Time

Oh there's something on your mind,
you just can't get it right
I know it keeps you up, it chokes you up at night
Oh there's something in your eyes,
something that's way out of sight
and it could send you to hell or to war,
drag your body cold across the floor.
Just killing time, you know that everything probably won't end up alright
In the middle of the night
you dreamt that everything you touch turns into gold
well I'll be waiting to let you know,
you'll be starving
Oh there's something on your mind,
something that's way out of line
as you stand on the ground you have left
Oh there's something you despise,
something that's deep down inside
and it will never let you feel satisfied
and it don't care for the tears that you cry
Just killing time, you know that everything probably won't end up alright
In the middle of the night
you dreamt that everything you touch turns into gold,
well I'll be waiting to let you know,
I'll be waiting
to let you know
Just killing time, you know that things, they can't end up alright
If you came to my door, said "I'll be here"
But it don't mean shit, so I aint here anymore.

I Aint Coming Home

What do I want here? I know I must be mad
open your eyes son
and don't you look so sad
But I never feel alright
everywhere I go
I've been dreaming up a place to stay
but nowhere feels like home
The times are changing, I know you're wondering now
how could I ever, how could I let you down?
But I never feel alright
everywhere I go
I've been dreaming up a place to stay
but nowhere feels like home
But I never feel alright
I need somewhere to go
I've been dreaming up a place to stay
and I aint coming home
aint coming home
aint coming home.

You Don't Have To Fight

Listen to me,
you don't have to fight
please don't dismiss me
cause I can't give you the bribes
I can't give you money
I can't give you a place to stay
but please will you listen to me,
listen when I say
You don't have to fight
you don't have to lose your life
the media have lied
please put down your gun tonight
Listen to me
oh, don't go that way
cause it's not as delightful as they might like to say
I can't give you money
I can't give you a place to stay
but please will you listen to me,
listen when I say
You don't have to fight
you don't have to lose your life
the media have lied
please put down your gun tonight
You don't have to fight, you don't have to fight,
you don't have to fight, you don't have to fight
the media have lied
You don't have to fight, you don't have to fight,
you don't have to fight, you don't have to fight
the media have lied
They're loading up the planes and they're sending men to war
many men are dying, not asking what for
manipulative governments telling us lies
tell us if we love our country then we'll sacrifice our lives
but the only traitors here are the ones in power
sending us to war for concerns not ours
to benefit themselves in their own greedy ways
tell you you can "be the best"
and then they'll make you their slave.

Never The Same

A rush of joy send shivers down my spine
and it says to my brain
"you are going everywhere
speeding like a runaway train"
Into life
and out of life
like everyone I know
From time to time on the circle line
do you feel there's nowhere left to go?
I'll never see the world the same
I'll never see the world the same again
Turn the key, open the door
the future looked so bright but it don't no more
I'll never see the world the same again.
In the morning, how does it feel?
Life outside is so surreal
my state of mind is wild and I don't know what to think
things are gonna hit me soon, they're gonna change for me.
Into life
and out of life
like everyone I know
From time to time on the circle line
do you feel the urge to lose control?
ll never see the world the same
I'll never see the world the same again
Turn the key, open the door
the future looked so bright but it don't no more
I'll never see the world the same again.
