Title
- and my hell is the closet i'm stuck inside
- can't see the light
- and my heaven is a nice house in the sky
- got central heating and i'm alright
- yeah yeah yeah can't see the light
- keep it locked up inside don't talk about it
- talk about the weather
- yeah yeah yeah can't see the light
- open up my head and let me out little baby
- here we have been standing for a long long time
- treading trodden trails for a long long time
- i find sometimes it's easy to be myself
- sometimes i find better to be somebody else
- i see you young and soft little baby
- little feet little hands little feet little hands little baby
- a year of crying and the words creep up inside
- creep into mind yeah
- so much to say, so much to say, so much to say, so much to say
- so much to say, so much to say, so much to say, so much to say
- here we have been standing for a long long time
- treading trodden trails for a long long time
- i find sometimes it's easy to be myself
- sometimes i find better to be somebody else
- so much to say, so much to say, so much to say, so much to say
- so much to say, so much to say, so much to say, so much to say
- so much to say, so much to say, so much to say, so much to say
- so much to say, so much to say, so much to say, so much to say
- open up my head and let me out little baby
- Say, my love, I came to you with best intentions
- You laid down and gave to me just what I'm seeking
- Love, you drive me to distraction
- Hey my love do you believe that we might last a thousand years
- Or more if not for this,
- our flesh and blood
- It ties you and me right up
- Tie me down
- Celebrate we will
- Because life is short but sweet for certain
- We're climbing two by two
- To be sure these days continue
- These things we cannot change
- Hey, my love, you came to me like wine comes to this mouth
- Grown tired of water all the time
- You quench my heart and love,you quench my mind
- Celebrate we will
- Because life is short but
- sweet for certain
- We're climbing two by two
- To be sure these days continue
- The things we cannot
- Celebrate, you and me, climbing two by two, to be sure
- these days continue, things we cannot change
- Oh, my love I came to you
- with best intentions
- You laid down and gave to me
- just what I'm seeking
- Celebrate we will
- Because life is short
- but sweet for certain
- We're climbing two by two
- To be sure these days continue
- Things we cannot change...
- Things we cannot change
- You've got your ball,
- You've got your chain
- Tied to me tight, tie me up again.
- Who's got their claws
- In you my friend?
- Into your heart I'll beat again
- Sweet like candy to my soul
- Sweet you rock,
- And sweet you roll
- Lost for you, I'm so lost for you
- Oh, and you come crash into me
- And I come into you
- And I come into you
- In a boy's dream
- In a boy's dream
- Touch your lips just so I know
- In your eyes, love, it glows so
- I'm bare-boned and crazy... for you.
- Oh, and you come crash into me
- Baby, and I come into you
- In a boy's dream
- In a boy's dream
- And if I've gone overboard
- Then I'm begging you
- To forgive me
- In my haste
- When I'm holding you so girl,
- Close to me
- Oh and you come crash into me, yeah
- Baby, and I come into you
- Hike up your skirt a little more
- And show the world to me
- Hike up your skirt a little more
- And show your world to me
- In a boy's dream
- In a boy's dream
- Oh, I watch you there
- Through the window
- And I stare at you
- You wear nothing, but you
- Wear it so well
- Tied up and twisted,
- The way I'd like to be
- For you, for me, come crash into me
- Come crash into me, yeah
- Crash into me...
- Crash into me...
- You know, I'm the king of the castle,
- You're the dirty rascal, crash into me.
- Please crash into me, baby...
- Oh, no no no...
- Yes, I see the waves
- Come and crash into me.
- See the waves come and crash into me.
- Crash into me.
- Straight in, suck up and go,
- cool it, swallow, swallow
- Breathe deep, take it all
- it comes cheap
- Push it through the doors
- because in between the lines
- I'm gonna pack more lines
- so I can get in
- Ooh traffic jam got more cars
- than a beach got sand
- Suck it up, suck it up, suck it up,
- fill it up until no more
- I'm no crazy creep, I've got it coming
- to me because I'm not satisfied
- The hunger keeps on growing
- I eat too much
- I drink too much
- I want too much
- Too much
- I've got to get it somewhere
- I mean, you never know, maybe you're dreaming
- Who do you think you're watching
- Who do you think you need
- Play for me, play more,
- ten times in the same day
- I need more, I'm going
- over my borders
- I'm going to take more, more
- from you, letter by letter
- I eat too much
- I drink too much
- I want too much
- Too Much
- I told, god, I'm coming
- to your country
- I'm going to eat up your cities,
- your homes, you know
- I've got a stomach full it's not
- a chip on my shoulder
- I've got this growl in my tummy
- and I'm gonna stop it today
- I eat too much
- I drink too much
- I want too much
- Too much
- Suck it up...

- Come and see
- I swear by now I'm playing time
- I against my troubles
- I'm coming slow but speeding
- Do you wish a dance and while I'm
- in the front
- the play on time is won
- but the difficulty is coming here
- I will go in this way
- And find my own way out
- I wont tell you to stay
- But I'm coming to much more
- Me
- All at once the ghosts come back
- Reeling in you now
- What if they came down crushing
- Remember when I used to play for
- all of the loneliness that nobody
- notice now
- I'm begging slow I'm coming here
- Only waiting I wanted to stay
- I wanted to play
- I wanted to love you
- I'm only this far
- And only tomorrow leads my way
- I'm coming waltzing back and moving into your head
- Please, I wouldn't pass this by
- I would take any more than
- What sort of man goes by
- I will bring water
- Why wont you ever be glad
- It melts into wonder
- I came in praying for you
- why wont you run
- in the rain and play
- let the tears splash all over you
- So here we are tonight, you and me together
- The storm outside, the fire is bright
- And in your eyes I see what's on my mind
- You've got me wild, turned around inside
- And then desire, see, is creeping up heavy inside here
- And do you feel the same way as I do now
- Now let's make this an evening
- Lovers for a night, lovers for tonight
- Stay here with me, love, tonight
- just for an evening
- When we make our passion pictures
- You and me twist up as secret creatures
- And we'll stay here
- Tommorrow go back to being friends
- Go back to being friends, but tonight let's be lovers, we kiss and sweat
- We'll turn this better thing
- to the best
- Of all we can offer, just a rogue kiss
- Tangled tongues and lips,
- See me this way
- I'm turning and turning for you
- Girl, just tonight
- Float away here with me
- An evening just wait and see
- But tommorrow go back to your man
- I'm back to my world
- And we're back to being friends
- Wait and see me,
- Tonight let's do this thing
- All we are is waisting hours until the
- sun comes up it's all ours
- On our way here
- Tommorrow go back to being friends
- Go back to being friends
- Tonight let's be lovers, say you will
- And hear me call, soft-spooken
- whispering love
- A thing or two I have to say here
- Tonight let's go all the way then
- Love I'll see you
- Just for this evening
- Let's strip down, trip out at this
- One evening starts with a kiss
- Run away
- And tommorrow
- back to being friends
- Lovers...love...lovers
- Just for tonight, one night...love you
- And tommorrow say goodbye
- I let you down
- Let me pick you up
- I let you down
- Let me climb up you to the top
- So I can see the view from up there
- Tangled in your hair
- I let you down
- I have no lid upon my head
- But if i did
- You could look inside and see
- What's on my mind
- I let you down, oh, forgive me
- You give me love
- Let me walk with you, maybe I could say
- Maybe talk with you, open up
- And let me through
- Don't walk away
- Don't walk away
- I have no lid upon my head
- But if I did
- You could look inside and see what's on my mind
- You could look inside and see what's on my mind
- I let you down
- How could I be such a fool like me
- I let you down
- Tail between my legs
- I'm a puppy for your love
- I'm a puppy for your love
- I have no lid upon my head
- but if i did
- you could look inside and see
- whats on my mind, oh its you
- I let you down
- I'm a puppy for your love
- I'm a puppy for your love
- Forgive me
- Forgive me
- Forgive me
- I let you down
- when i step into the light my arms open wide
- when i step into the light my eyes searching wild
- would you not like to be
- sitting on top of the world with your legs hanging free
- would you not like to be OK, OK, OK
- when we're walking by the water
- splish splash me and you taking a bath
- when we're walking by the water
- come up to my toes to my ankles to my head to my soul
- i'm blown away
- when we're walking by the water
- splish splash me and you taking a bath
- when we're walking by the water
- come to my toes to my ankles to my head to my soul
- i'm blown away
- i can't believe that we would lie in graves
- wondering if we had spent our living days well
- i can't believe that we would lie in graves
- wondering what we might of been
- i can't believe that we would lie in graves
- wondering if we had spent our living days well
- i can't believe that we would lie in graves
- wondering what we might of been
- would you not like to be
- would you not like to be
- i can't believe that you would not like to be
- would you not like to be
- ok, ok, ok,
- ok, ok, ok,
- ok, ok, ok,
- ok, ok, ok,
- don't dance away
- How can I turn away
- Brother/Sister go dancing
- through my head
- Human as to human
- The future is no place
- To place your better days
- Cry freedom, cry
- From a crowd 10,000 wide
- Hope laid upon hope
- That this crowd will not subside
- Let this flag burn to dust
- And a new a fair design be raised
- While we wait head in hands,
- hands in prayer
- And fall into a dreamless sleep again
- And we wave our hands
- Hands and feet are all alike
- But gold between divide us
- Hands and feet are all alike
- But fear between divide us
- All slip away
- There was a window and by it stood
- A mirror in which
- he could see himself
- He thought of something
- Something he had never had but
- hoped would come along
- Cry freedom, cry
- From deep inside
- Where we are all confined
- While we wave hands in fire
- Wave our hands
- Hands and feet are all alike
- But gold between divide us
- Hands and feet are all alike
- But fear between divide us,
- Slip away
- In this room stood a little child
- And in this room this little child
- she would remain
- Until someone might decide
- To dance this little child
- across this hall
- Into a cold, dark, space
- Where she might never trace her
- way across this crooked mile
- Across this crooked page
- Cry freedom, cry
- From deep inside where
- we are all confined
- Till we wave our hands
- How can I turn away
- Brother/Sister go dancing
- through my head
- Human as to human
- The future is no place
- To place your better days
- Hands and feet are all alike But gold between divide us Hands and feet are all alike But fear between divide us Hands and feet are all alike Hear what I say Hear what I say Oh, so be it
- How can I turn away Brother/Sister go dancing through my head Human as to human The future is no place To place your better days
- We were above
- You were standing underneath us
- We were not yet lovers
- Dragons were smoked
- Bumblebees were stinging us
- I was soon to be crazy
- Eat, drink and be merry
- For tomorrow we'll die
- 'Cause we're tripping billies
- We're wearing nothing
- Nothing but out shadows
- Shadows falling down on the beach sand
- Remembering once,
- Out on the beaches we wore
- Pineapple grass bracelets
- So why would you care
- To get out of this place
- You and me and all our friends
- Such a happy human race, yeah
- 'Cause we're tripping billies
- We are all sitting
- Legs crossed round a fire
- My yellow flame she dances
- Tequila drinking oh our
- Minds will wonder
- To wonderous places
- So why would you care
- To get out of this place
- You and me and all our friends
- Such a happy human race
- Eat, drink and be merry
- For tomorrow we'll die
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Swing in this tree
- Oh I am bounce around so well
- Branch to branch,
- limb to limb you see
- All in a day's dream
- I'm stuck
- Like the other monkeys here
- I am a humble monkey
- Sitting up in here again
- But then came the day
- I climbed out of these safe limbs
- Ventured away
- Walking tall, head high up and singing
- I went to the city
- Car horns, corners and the gritty
- Now I am the proudest monkey you've ever seen
- Monkey see, monkey do
- Then comes the day
- Staring at myself I turn to question me
- I wonder do I want the simple, simple life that I once lived in well
- Oh things were quiet then
- In a way they were the better days
- But now I am the proudest monkey you've ever seen
- Monkey see, monkey do
- Monkey see, monkey do
