Written in graffiti on a bridge in a park
Do you ever get the feeling That you're missing the mark? It's so cold, it's so cold It's so cold, it's so cold Written up in marker on a factory sign I struggle with the feeling That my life isn't mine It's so cold, it's so cold It's so cold, it's so cold See the arrow that they shot trying To tear us apart took the fire from my belly and The beat from my heart Still I won't let go Still I won't let go You, ooh, ooh Oh you, use your heart as a weapon And it hurts like heaven On every street, every car, every surface in nature And at the streets are rising and you'd rather sing Don't let them take control No, we won't let 'em take control Yes, I feel a little bit nervous Yes, I feel nervous and I cannot relax I'm coming 'round to get us I'm coming 'round when they don't know the facts So on a concrete canvas and a glow in the dark On a concrete canvas, I will make you a mark Armed with the spray can soul Let me out with the spray can soul You, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh 'Cause you use your heart as a weapon And it hurts like heaven Whoa-oh-oh Whoa-oh-oh Yeah, it's true, when you Use your heart as a weapon And it hurts like heaven Oh and it hurts like heaven |
When she was just a girl she expected the world
But it flew away from her reach So she ran away in her sleep and dreamed of Para-para-paradise, para-para-paradise, para-para-paradise Every time she closed her eyes When she was just a girl she expected the world But it flew away from her reach and the bullets catch in her teeth Life goes on, it gets so heavy The wheel breaks the butterfly every tear a waterfall In the night the stormy night she'll close her eyes In the night the stormy night away she'd fly And dream of para-para-paradise Para-para-paradise Para-para-paradise She'd dream of para-para-paradise Para-para-paradise Para-para-paradise La-la-la-la-la-la-la La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la And so lying underneath those stormy skies She'd say, "Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh I know the sun must set to rise" This could be para-para-paradise Para-para-paradise This could be para-para-paradise Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh This could be para-para-paradise Para-para-paradise This could be para-para-paradise Oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh, oh This could be para-para-paradise Para-para-paradise This could be para-para-paradise Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh |
Stole a key
Took a car downtown where the lost boys meet Took a car downtown and took what they offered me To set me free I saw the lights go down at the end of the scene I saw the lights go down and standing in front of me In my scarecrow dreams When they smashed my heart into smithereens Be a bright red rose come bursting the concrete Be the cartoon heart Light a fire, light a spark Light a fire, a flame in my heart We'll run wild oh We'll be glowing in the dark We'll be glowing in the dark All the boys, all the girls All that matters in the world All the boys, all the girls All that matters that occurs All the highs, all the lows As the room is spinning, oh We'll run wild We'll be glowing in the dark Living innocent wild We'll be glowing in the dark |
Oh morning come bursting, the clouds amen
Lift off this blindfold, let me see again Bring back the water, let your ships roll in In my heart she left a hole The tightrope that I'm walking just sways and ties The devil as he's talking with those angel's eyes And I just want to be there when the lightning strikes And the saints go marching in And sing slow it down Through chaos as it swirls It's us against the world Like a river to a raindrop, I lost a friend My drunken as a Daniel in a lion's den And tonight I know it all has to begin again So whatever you do, don't let go And if we could float away Fly up to the surface and just start again And lift off before trouble Just erodes us in the rain Just erodes us in the rain Just erodes us and see roses In the rain Sing slow it down Slow it down Through chaos as it swirls It's us against the world Through chaos as it swirls It's us against the world |

I turn the music up, I got my records on
I shut the world outside until the lights come on Maybe the streets alight, maybe the trees are gone I feel my heart start beating to my favourite song And all the kids they dance, all the kids all night Until Monday morning feels another life I turn the music up I'm on a roll this time And heaven is in sight I turn the music up, I got my records on From underneath the rubble sing a rebel song Don't want to see another generation drop I'd rather be a comma than a full stop Maybe I'm in the black, maybe I'm on my knees Maybe I'm in the gap between the two trapezes But my heart is beating and my pulses start Cathedrals in my heart As we saw oh this light I swear you, emerge blinking into To tell me it's alright As we soar walls, every siren is a symphony And every tear's a waterfall Is a waterfall Oh Is a waterfall Oh oh oh Is a is a waterfall Every tear Is a waterfall Oh oh oh So you can hurt, hurt me bad But still I'll raise the flag Oh It was a wa wa wa wa wa-aterfall A wa wa wa wa wa-aterfall Every tear Every tear Every teardrop is a waterfall Every tear Every tear Every teardrop is a waterfall Every tear Every tear Every teardrop is a waterfall |
They got one eye watching you
One eye on what you do So be careful who it is you're talking to They got one eye watching you One eye on what you do So be careful what it is you're trying to do And be careful when you're walking in the view Just be careful when you're walking in the view Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Got one eye on the road and one on you Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Got one eye on the road and one on They got one eye watching you And one eye on what you do So be careful 'cause nothing they say is true D-don't believe a word, it's us against the world And we just got to turn up to be heard Hear the crocodiles ticking round the world Hear those crocodiles ticking, they go ticking round the world Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Got one eye on the road and one on you Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Got one eye on the road and You could hear them climbing the stairs I got my right side fighting while My left hides under the chairs Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Got one eye on the road and one on you Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Got one eye on the road and one on you |
Lord i don't know which way i am going
Which way river gonna flow It's just seems that upstream, i keep rowing Still got such a long way to go Still got such a long way to go Then that light, it's your eye I move, i swim, And found somewhere the streets are made of gold But it's fly, split the skies But that's all right, sometimes, somewhere i'm streaming to the holes Oooohhh ooooohh |
Oh
Once upon a time somebody ran Somebody ran away saying fast as I can I've got to go, I've got to go! Once upon a time we fell apart You're holding in your hands the two halves of my heart Oh, oh! Oh Once upon a time, we burned bright Now all we ever seem to do is fight On and on And on and on and on Once upon a time on the same side. Once upon a time on the same side, in the same game And why'd you have to go, have to go and throw water on my flame I could've been a princess, you'd be a king Could've had a castle, and worn a ring But no, you let me go I could've been a princess, you'd be a king Could've had a castle, and worn a ring But no, you let me go And stole my star La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la You stole my star La, la la la la la Oh-oh oh oh oh oh oh oh Oh-oh oh oh oh oh oh oh 'Cause you really hurt me No you really hurt me 'Cause you really hurt me No you really hurt me 'Cause you really hurt me Oh you really hurt me, oh 'Cause you really hurt me Oh you really hurt me |
So it's over,
This time I know it's gone Salt water tasted it too long I only know I'm wrong Now I know it's gone Up in flames, up in flames Up in flames we have slowly gone So it's over, This time you're flying on This time I know no song Can stop it slowly burn Can stop it slowly gone Up in flames, up in flames Up in flames we have slowly gone Up in flames, up in flames Up in flames we have slowly gone Oh, we have slowly gone Can we pour some water on? |

And if I lost the map
If I lost it all Or fell into the trap Then she'd call 'When you're tired of racing And you find you never left the start Come on baby Don't let it break your heart' Though heavily we bled Still on we crawl Try to catch a cannonball And a slowly burning tide, oh Through my veins is flowing From my shipwreck I heard her call She said 'When you're tired of aiming your arrows Still you never hit the mark, oh Even in your rains and shadows Still we're never going to part Come on baby Don't let it break your heart, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Don't let it break your heart, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Don't let it break your heart Don't let it break your heart |
The birds they sang, at break of day
Start again I hear them say It's so hard to just walk away The birds they sang, all a choir Start again a little higher It's a spark in a sea of gray The sky is blue dream that lie 'till it's true Then taken back the punch I threw My arms turn in oh, those clumsy things Send me up to that wonderful world And then I'm up with the birds Might have to go Where they don't know my name Float all over the world Just to see her again And I won't show or feel any pain Even though all my armor might rust in the rain A simple plot But I know one day Good things are coming our way A simple plot But I know one day Good things are coming our way Oh, yeah |
