Biting it off again
Stabbing my feeding hand
Stepping off every train
to meet the same thing
Hosing the fire grate
Drinking the water baby
I've been a fool it seems
All these yea

He wants her
She leads him on and on
He just can't escape
A thousand years of evolution
Build at once into confusion
He watches
Her walking home again
He just can't pretend

There was a time we saw life
Like it had no end
And no darkness in our days
For our sins you walk in
And everything changed
Now we stare darkness in the face
Just like the papers s
(BROWNE)
Like a crowd when the pin drops
Like a ride that you can't get off
High wire on a high hope
Tight walk on a tight rope
Cold night make you breathe in
Hot lights make the show begin
Catch yo

Looking back
You can lie if you like
But it's just sad to see you
Wasting so much time
It's a hole
Whether you are half or whole
It's a hole no matter which side out you
(Browne/Glenister)
If I keep you safe
And I keep you warm
If I keep you closer than I need
To turn you on
But I want you to notice
Every time my eyes caress you
I want to see your eyes
Flashing out
(Browne)
Slap on the back
For the man with the sand in his hair
Spinning with sound
As you're feeling around for the change
Twist off the top
Even though you know he's never there
Polish the thought

Good morning - it's raining
Everything you ever said - Yeah
But, this morning, the way it's falling
Nothing's landing on my head
There's a cloud - grey - the lining it's shedding
(Browne/Ralston)
Come over here, turn on the lights
'Cos I almost saw your face
And from over here you look pretty nice
And I wondered if I could be leaving on a ship
That won't be coming back this tr
(Browne/Maitland)
Like a holy floor
That you walk over
Like an open sore
Needs to be bandaged
I need you here
Like a little child
Has an open mind
Too near the time
To see the darkness
I need you
(browne/maitland)
Opens the show, the devil you know
You're better off staying at home
High on the grass and the lebanese
Lying at home, what do you know
You're better off hanging up the phone
There'

Sometimes
When I finally reach the end of the day
Where I've been I couldn't say
Meantime
I repeat myself in this familiar scene
Like a xerox machine spins around
They built it in

Midas was sitting alone on the brink
It was only his time he was wasting
Holding a photograph framed with silver
He just couldn't turn into gold
And you won't believe the things that

Recall, return
Relive and learn
All of our memories
In summer nights
We've put it right
Tumbled down into it
I know they're only moments
But moments like these
Are so h

Getting peeled off another bar
I've got to go but it's just too far
She's looking good for a night in a padded cell
Like a virus with no antidote
She's looking good but she might be

Fade into day
It's a marvel of opium grey
I can't feel a thing
My head's on a string
Being led by the hand of a stranger
Welcome to where ever else in the world that you
are

How can I explain how it came to be
It wasn't over night while I couldn't sleep
I can still remember how it used to be
Oh, 'cause somewhere, it's hard remembering but

Thanks for letting me down
Thanks for letting me down again
And if you could be here today
What would you say
Thanks for leting me down
And now you're bringing me round to this

(Browne/Glenister)
Body sops and parking lots
No time to stop
It's another normal day
Self esteem and Windowlene
You're squeaky clean
There's nothing left to say
Brillo pads and paper ads
