We’ve been done before
And now we try to forge ourselves
We’ve been done before
And now we try to forge ourselves
I’ll be true again
But until then i fake the books
‘cause everybody knows
This ain’t heaven
Until everybody knows
We’ve been wrong before
There is a lot that we survived
We’ve been wrong before
There is a lot that we survived
I’ll be true again
But until then i fake the books
‘cause everybody knows
This ain’t heaven
Until everybody knows

Now I'm here out on my own, trying to live my life
And now you wanna come back
But I don't need no brand new lies, listen up

I want a love that's serious
No time to play love games
I don't wanna be nobodys fool
So if you wanna be with me
You gotta give it up

Real love
I know, I wanna have one
Real love
Gonna try and get some

We passed upon the stair, we spoke of was and when
Although I wasn't there, he said I was his friend
Which came as some surprise I spoke into his eyes
I thought you died alone, a long long time ago

Oh no, not me
I never lost control
You're face to face
With The Man Who Sold The World

I laughed and shook his hand, and made my way back home
I searched for form and land, for years and years I roamed

I gazed a gazely stare at all the millions here
We must have died alone, a long long time ago

Who knows? not me
We never lost control
You're face to face
With the Man who Sold the World

Big shots argue about what they've got
making the planet so hot, hot as a holocaust.
Blow up, everything's gonna go up
even if you don't show up in your Chemise Lacoste.

Total eclipse, it's a total eclipse,
it's a total eclipse of the sun.
Can't come to grips with the total eclipse
Just a slip of the lips and you're done.

Fall out, nobody left to crawl out
If someone calls, we're all out, turning in to French fries
Last dance, let the entire cast dance, do the dismembered blast dance
as we get atomized!

Tree don't care what a little bird sings
Tree don't care what a little bird sings
We go down with the due in the morning light
The tree don't know what the little bird brings
We go down with the due in the morning
And we breathe, in it
There is no need to forgive
Breathe, in it, there is no need to forgive
(again)
The trees will stand like á¹—leading hands
We go down with the due in the morning light
The trees all stand like á¹—leading hands
We go down with the due in the morning light
And we breathe it in
There is no need to forgive
Breathe it in, there is no need to forgive
(again)

The trees will burn with blackened hands
We return with the light of the evening
The trees will burn blackened hands
Nowhere to rest, with nowhere to land

And we know who you are
And we know where you live
And we know there's no need to forgive

on from here walkin dreams awake
i think not i think not
the sky comes king blown in every direction
and of no country
i am straw

it is no mystery
i know my way from here

iron sharpens iron
crooked wooden and peacock black
i have your feathers
slung across my back
i'm not the only one
to help you down the hill
my blue knuckles do as they will

it is no mystery
i know my way from here
it is no mystery
i know my way from here

one as precious as the other
they go with me
today i am not a false conscience
a tyrant
angels line my pockets dear
i walk a hutterite mile
look at me this once
put an eye to my step
look and furrow
its only misery its only ankle deep

it is no mystery
i know my way from here
it is no mystery
i know my way from here

All the widows watch
Through all window sills
Hair raising in every room
Up the street come a walking chill
An you ask for nothing
'Cept to be by my side

See my tears good father
Will they wash it away
All my dirt from your holy feet
No I don't believe it work that way
'Cause you ask for nothing
'Cept to be by my side

I seen you in the river
Before God and man
Held by the holy hand of winter
Laid low by winter's holy hand

Yes my sister girl
I know that it is true
You see me with the Lord's eye girl
An you see right through
An you ask for nothin'
Is there something behind my eyes

I can look good I swear
When the spirit blows
All ore and all through yea
My wretched bones
An you look for nothin'
'Cept to be by my side love

I seen you in the river
Before God and man
Held by the holy hand of winter
An brought low by winter's holy hand

I long to be with
God on his mind and behind her laughter
Circle the block, come back and tell me
You took the words he painted by heart
Right out of my hand

Like the scrawl
We scratch the screen and all
Do as we want yes, we do as we want
As the fall
We taste the shame and all
We've never not, we've never not

What is the end of
My troubled mind
To embitter to sin
Provoke my soul
Come Christ within yeah

I don't have the courage
To carve my splinters out no
But I got a friend St. Steven
These pictures of us
Wood, hay and stubble
We as well are nothing but trouble

Like the scrawl
We scratch and scream and all
Do as we want, do as you want
Like the fall
We taste the shame and all
We've never not, we've never not

What is the end of
Your troubled mind
To embitter to sin
Provoke your soul
To Christ within

I get the blues
I get high
I'll explode like dynamite
And i'll cry 'till the dust
Settles down
I guess i'm hard when i'm soft
And i'm cold when i'm feeling so hot
Sometimes i guess things just happen too fast
Forget what i said - forget what i did
It's not what i meant - so can you forgive it
Just came out wrong
I'm taking it back
Forget what i said
But i can love you like hell
Put under my black magic spell
And i can kiss you like nobody else
I'll make good of my bads
I'll make nice of all that is sad
I'll cut off - the dead hands - of my past
Forget what i said - forget what i did
It's not what i meant - so can you forgive
It's just came out wrong - i'm taking it back
Please forget about it

It's there, it's where, it begins,
and it's calling your name
You've been down there all night now,
in a state that I cannot explain
Behind grey curtains of ash
from a word it was burn
Now smoke rises high from your head,
morning mist laying dead
On naked shoulders
- no flowers, no thorns

Hey love, stay the fuck out of my home
I've told you a thousand times
'Cause my brain tells me you're dangerous, and my belly says
you're just too hard to find
A kiss from sullen lips of ashes
will probably blow this whole winter away
But something tells me this is just not real, 
something tells me this smoke is here to stay
It was supposed to be an endless day

Mmm, mmmm, mmmmmmm
Mmm, mmmm, mmmmmmm

Standing on your two knees baby
Tell me what do you need
Oh, stand up on your two feet baby
That's how it's got to be

You want me to be your mother
But you know I'm too young, too young
You want me to be your sister
But you know I'm too old, too old
You think I'm gonna raise you like a kid
But don't matter the love I feel, mmm
It's time to show and prove, man, go on move
Do what you gotta do, do what you gotta do
So

Standing on your two knees baby
Tell me what do you need
Oh, stand up on your two feet baby
That's how it's got to be
No no no no no
Standing on your two knees baby
Tell me what do you need
Mmm mmmm
Stand up on your two feet baby
That's how it's got to be

Man I love you and I just wanna be your woman
Your woman
But I'm tired of your traveling ends
You played me for a fool
Thinking I don't know what you're doing, no
Hanging out in the clubs with your fake ass crew

So

Standing on your two knees baby
Tell me what do you need
Oh, stand up on your two feet baby
That's how it's got to be
Standing on your two knees baby
Tell me what do you need
Oh, stand up on your two feet baby
That's how it's got to be
Stand up, baby, stand up
You've got to, got to, got to 
Stand up, baby, stand up

Standing on your two knees baby
Tell me what do you need
Oh, stand up on your two feet baby
That's how it's got to be
Stand up, baby, stand up
You've got to, got to, got to

Stand up, baby, stand up
You've got to rise your hands to the sky
See the love, in your eyes
You've got to make a move, you've got to make it through
You've got to feel real of yourself
Got to make a move

Stand up (stand up)
Baby (baby)
Stand up
You've got to, got to, got to 
Stand up, baby, stand up

Mmmm mmmm mmm...

There goes my heart again
All of this time I thought we were pretending
Nothing looks the same when your eyes are open
Now you're playing these games to keep my heartbeat spinning
You show me love, you show me love
You show me everything my heart is capable of
You reshape me like butterfly origami

You have broken into my heart
This time I feel the blues have departed
Nothing can keep me away from this feeling
I know I am simply falling for you

I'm taking time to envision where your heart is
And justify why you're gone for the moment
I tumble sometimes, looking for sunshine
And you know this is right when you look into my eyes
You show me love, you show me love
You show me everything my heart is capable of
And now I can't break away from this fire that we started

There my heart goes again
In your arms I'm falling deeper
And there's nothing to break me away from this 

Never thought you'd make me perspire.
Never thought I'd do you the same.
Never thought I'd fill with desire.
Never thought I'd feel so ashamed.

Me and the dragon can chase all the pain away.
So before I end my day, remember..
My sweet prince, you are the one
My sweet prince
you are the one

Never thought I'd have to retire
Never thought I'd have to abstain
Never thought all this could back fire
Close up the hole in my vain

Me and my valuable friend
can fix all the pain away
So before I end my day
remember
My sweet prince
you are the one
My sweet prince
you are the one
you are the one
you are the one
you are the one
you are the one

Never thought I'd get any higher
Never thought you'd fuck with my brain
Never thought all this could expire
Never thought you'd go break the chain

Me and you baby,
still flush all the pain away
So before I end my day
remember
My sweet prince
you are the one
My sweet prince
you are the one
you are the one
you are the one
you are the one
you are the one
you are the one
you are the one
you are the one
you are the one
My sweet prince
My sweet prince

Love not our love
love isn't supposed to be this way
love is a poison ring
and love has poured you drinks
now love waits for you to sleep
don't lend it to a friend
'cause you may never see that friend again
don't bother with a cover 'cause love can
pick out the fakes
but that's not our love
not our love
this crime of love
love isn't supposed to be this way
love will sting and love will burn
love will steal all you've learned
yes it will but not our love
sometimes in your back
and sometimes in your heart
it's a double edged sword
don't you bother with a cover
'cause in a crowd love can pick out the fakes
but that's not our love
not our love
(and the girls sing along) do you hear this cry for
love
do you see this crime of love
love waits for you to sleep
don't lend it to a friend
you can easily pick out the fakes
don't you see this crime of love
this crime of love holds you here
sting burn steal learn
don't turn your back on my heart
you can easily pick out the fakes
