maybe this time
you'll have a little fun
maybe this time
you'll smile all day
maybe this time
you'll just laugh and play
maybe this time
every time I say
goodbye, I cry
every time you say
goodbye
oh, the joy
in my hands
it's in my hands
in my hands
tonight
tonight
there's a dragon
in the sky
in the sky
there's a lion
in the hall
in the hall
there's death
there's death
on them
on them all
on them all
in between
the silent places
where I dream
I found there
something so
so, so dark
that I would
just like to use
just like to love
just like to feel it
it's so real
it's so dark
it's so dark
it's so
it's so lovely, darling
lovely, darling

do you know why
I've been so,
so silent
do you know why
I just let you go on
let you go on
do you know why
I'm taking my time
just holding back
just waiting
just waiting
I want
I want
so many things
what do you want
what do you want
what do you want from me
what do you want from me
don't you know
if only you could take it back
if only you could take it back

Lies and Eyes
05:38
|
|||
|
Sometimes they just won't leave me alone
I just wanna go away
for a little while
and hide out somewhere
I don't know, in a mountainside
oh, and then
oh, then I can
decide
what to do with you, darling
what to do with you, darling
they won't leave me alone
they keep asking me
where's she at
they keep saying
when's she gonna come around
and I keep saying
I don't know, darling
I don't know
thought maybe you'd come around
and stay awhile
but no, you just turned around
and you left so fast
and darling, didn't even get
to remember you
you always leave that way
you always leave that way
I always wondered
how far you'd take it, darling
before you'd say, stop, stop
I can't take anymore
you were always good at taking all that stuff
you were always good at taking all that
I'm so proud of your abilities, darling
you know you're never enough for yourself
and never will be, probably
I don't know what you're trying to reach
I don't know how you feed
and I don't care
'cause it's draining me, darling
it's draining me
you always took advantage of these
situations, didn't you
the power they gave you
the power they gave you
electronics sabotage
overload
entertain me with your
dance hall
dance hall
your dance hall games
I know you were a slut, yes
I didn't care very much
I still don't, no
I still don't, no
I still don't, no
I still don't, no
I still don't, no
I still don't, no
I still don't, no
I still don't, no
I still don't, no
I still don't, no
I still don't
you're gonna be left all alone, darling
hope you can take it
hope you can take it, yes
what is this world coming to
that you should behave in such a way
what is the world coming to
that you should behave in such a way
what is the world coming to
that you should behave in such a way, such a way
I shouldn't have ever trusted you
for my information
you talk too much, anyway
I never would have touched you
if I would have known
the way you have become
you have infected me
with your lies
and your eyes
your lies and your eyes
your lies and your eyes
your lies and your eyes
your lies and your eyes
your lies and your eyes
your lies and
your eyes

I Try
04:04
|
|||
|
I, I try, I try
I wonder why
I sometimes wonder why
I keep on trying
all my days
all my life
I wonder where you've taken it this time
I just follow you and your signs, yeah
all I want to do is be there
all I want to do is be square
even if it means I'm just a little mashed potato
on your plate, on your plate
I don't know where I think I want to go
on your plate if you'll just be like
baby, my baby, my baby, my baby
gotta be in her head
if you get into her bed
I, I try
I sometimes wonder why
I, I try
I sometimes wonder why

House of Joy
03:00
|
|||
|
I walked down the street
and I was met with some confrontation
I wondered why he had a problem with me
was there something strange that he saw
that I did not see
I wondered what was wrong with me
when I went into the building
and they turned their heads
and they stared at me
and I felt so weird
I wondered what was wrong with me
won't you tell me
what is wrong with me
oh my darling
hold me tight
'cause I might want to go out tonight
and do something that I might not
feel too good about tomorrow
would you have a life full of pain and sorrow
would you have a life of joy, of joy
of joy, yes
would you live with me
in a house of joy

if you were an Egyptian princess
maybe then you would
stand a chance
if you were the Lady of the Lake
you could just swim away

everybody says it's just
a little bit of everything or nothing
I said, hey

Where's the Pain
06:53
|
|||
|
has there ever been anyone
so concerned about what they've done
was there ever anyone
so happy with what they've won
oh, I think I found it
oh, I think I found it
oh, I think I found it out
oh, I think I found it
oh, I think I found it
I think I found it out
ever wonder why
so many people have to die
in so many awful ways
can you even
imagine in your head
the ways
in which they take
in which they take
in which they take away
their babies and their dreams
their souls
their lives
all their lives
all they wanted
all they need, need
yes, you've been there before, haven't you
yes, you see that this one is you
it doesn't matter about the skin
it's what's within
won't you take some time
won't you take the time it takes
if you believe in time
to see about
other things happening here
other things happening here
other things happening here
outside of
outside of your own sphere
I wish that you could take a trip with me
and see what I see
I wish that you could take a trip with me
and see what I see
will it ever go away, the pain
you can feel their pain
tell me, I know you can feel their pain
if you have pain
you feel their pain
if you have pain don't you know that it's all the same
if you have pain don't you know that it
it all can be re-arranged
if you take care of the other pain
ahh, forget your pain
forget your pain
forget your pain
forget your pain
forget your pain
if you're thinking about
the other rain
they have no rain
they have no name
where's the pain
where's the shame
can you let it go on
can you let it be the same
where's the pain
where's the shame
can you let it go on
can you let it be the same
where's the pain
where's the shame
can you let it go on
can you let it be the same
where's the pain
where's the shame
can you let it go on
can you let it go on
can you let it be the same

The Spell
03:48
|
|||
|
I heard that
the other day
you went on a little
adventure, darling
I hope you
saw some things
and found some things
to be true
do you know what
do you know why
these things are
coming to you?
(but you know
they get their own
they gotta get their own
with you)
he said that he told you
I know that he told you
you already know
everything
but it was just too much
to take all at once
I don't know
if you'll survive
Oh, how could you
just let it go away
it was alive
oh, oh
they love you the best
they love you the best
of them all
and you were
put to the test
are you ready to see
if you'll fall
don't you make up
another little piece of
something you can tell
if you do you might not
remember it all too well
then what you do
when you broke the spell
I heard that
the other day
you went on a little
adventure, darling

Who Am I
03:43
|
|||
|
who am I to say anything at all
who are you to tell me anything at all
why do I feel like
I gotta know something
why do they pretend like
they know something I don't
something we don't have here
do you think they have
something we don't have here
do you think there's something missing here
missing here, won't you let me know
before it gets out of hand
before they start
tearing things up
I think they already have
if you just look out there
if you just look out there you'll see
the damage is done
the damage is done

Into the Sky
06:01
|
|||
|
they thought it was time
to let go and unwind
oh, they thought it was time
to sit back and play alone
and not be part of everything
alone and not be part of
anything at all
but you can't escape that
all my time
all my
all my time
I give to you
all my life
all my life
all my life
I give to you
oh, if you only knew
oh, if you could only feel
the things I can tell you
but you can't really see
I rise from beneath these things
and I can tell you
it's not so easy
it's not so easy
it's not so easy
to get out
of the old house
to get out
of the temple
to get out
of the garden
and into the sky
the sky
the sky
the sky
the sky
I'm gonna bounce
I'm gonna bounce off a cloud
I'm gonna bounce off a cloud
I'm gonna bounce off a cloud
I'm gonna bounce off a cloud
and into the sun
gonna bounce off a cloud
and into the sun, yes
and burn
and burn
and return, darling
as a bird
as a bird
as a bird

Apocalypse
08:00
|
|||
|
do you think I'm just
frozen in time
a static thing
never change
do you think that I'm
just biding my time
until the end
of all things
do you think I'm just
waiting patiently
for the sky
to crack open
and a hand
to come down
for me
is that me
is that me
I don't think I've got
too many things
to worry about, sometimes
but you know
I might be crazy
I don't think there's
anything at all
worth crying for, maybe
you know, it happens sometimes
it's just like that
and I don't mind
you know it, these things
they happen sometimes
it's like that, I think
I think it's fine
I think it's about time
look out, there's a crash
about to, about to happen
somewhere out there
look out, there's a crash
it's coming our way, yeah
oh, they said
so long ago they said
you know, you better watch yourself
look what you've done before
look what you've done before
you know they told us
so long ago
you just take your time
take your time
and you will find it all in time
you know they told us
these things so, so long ago
sometimes you forget
what's right in front of your eyes
and turn it into something
in some kind of disguise
that you can then despise
you don't mind, then, when it dies
you don't cry
you don't mind when
it doesn't even say goodbye
just turns away and says hey
to something else
to someone else
oh, I thought I needed it
more than anything
in my whole life
but I don't know
oh, I thought I needed it
more than anything in town
more than anyone in here
and I thought that I would find
true happiness
if I just had
a little more, yes
a little more
a little more, yes
but guess what
you were wrong
you're always wrong
hey, it's up, the sky, the air
it's open sky
it's open air
there's clouds everywhere
darling, but no
but no, it's
it's never past the time
to decide, honey
honey, honey, honey, honey, honey, honey, yeah
it's never past the time to decide
honey, honey, honey, mmmm...
you know we told you
we told you
we told all of you this
don't even try
to hold on
because it's too late
it's too late, I'm sorry
I'm sorry, honey
all the people will cry
all the people will die

Just Fade Away
06:03
|

|
when there's
when there's just clouds in the sky
when there's
when there's no sunshine
I feel
I feel so quiet inside
and I'm so satisfied
the rain is so nice
to clean out the skies
the rain is so nice
to clean out the skies
darling, don't you know
that I'm just hanging down
hanging down from this tree
darling, don't you know
that I'm just losing grip
losing grip on things
darling, don't you know
that I'm just saying things, saying things
saying things that I mean
don't you say things
that you mean
if the world was a pretty place
I'd see smiles on every face
if the world was just empty
then you could go home
go home, go home
and fade away

Lovely Day
03:53
|

|
it was a lovely day
everything was going so well
so well, it was a lovely day
I was pretty happy this time
I thought you were, too, feeling fine
oh, how things seem to change
oh, darling I tried
to keep our love alive
I really tried
I even cried
well, at least I tried
and we had a lovely day
last summer, I know
I think I had the best time
that I ever had with you
and darling, don't you think
we had the best time
we ever thought we'd have
oh, just see how perfect things
can be sometimes
oh, just see how perfect things
can be sometimes
oh, just see how lovely
how lovely life can be
oh, darling I tried
to keep our love alive
I really tried
I even cried
but at least I tried
and we had a lovely day
is it time
to finally sleep
is our lovely day
coming to a close
is it time to dream away
all our dismay

Say Goodbye
06:15

once you have entered
the house
everything is there
won't you just
come in
all this
here
within
yes
all this
is here, in here
yes, it's in
it's inside
all you do is talk to me
like somebody
that I don't know
all you do is just
tell me things
that I never never want to know
ahhh, yes
all that I can do, darling
is just sit here
and just sit here
is just sit here, yes
is just sit here and wait
for you
for you to come home
come home, darling
come home, darling
oh, all I do is
oh, all I do is
oh, ahh ahh
(oh, what time is it)
oh, you'll live through it and
(oh, what you darling)
oh, you can do it
(oh it's your)
and oh, you know when
(time to go back inside)
something went on, yes
you know when love gone wrong, yes
you know when you sit there
just wasting everybody's time
and you just think that you're feeling fine
well, I know
oh, I know
(darling, don't you know)
I'm tired
(darling, don't you see)
I'm so, so tired
(darling, don't you have the key)
of climbing this building, baby
with you in my hand
I'm tired
(I'm tired of going up this building)
of going up this mountain, baby
going up this mountain, baby
(I'm so tired)
just tired
(where's the top of it?)
of doing these things, baby
of doing these things, baby
do you know why
why we just all end up
saying goodbye
(you know)
goodbye, goodbye
angels come and say goodbye
(how low can you go)
can you hear me
and darling you know
you're just floating away now
(it's so dark)
