|
when you're looking back
|
you want to catch the ones you missed
|
'cause when you put your time away
|
don't want to make that fatal list
|
don't let go
|
don't let go
|
don't let go for too long
|
it's just another holiday
|
you got a place where you could go
|
don't want to throw it all away
|
you just believe in what you know
|
how many times will it take to collide
|
how many times will you jump off the ride
|
|
you give me hard times
|
when it's late at night
|
you give me hard times
|
you kill my appetite
|
you're no ventriloquist
|
but you can throw a kiss
|
you give me hard times
|
when the race is tight
|
you give me bad times
|
when I'm feeling lost
|
you give me bad times
|
when you turn on that frost
|
you never hesitate to move in checkmate
|
you give me hard times at any cost
|
i know that sometimes you get foolish in your heart
|
i know that sometimes you can't help but fall apart
|
you come and go
|
i catch the afterglow
|
you give me hard times when you're coming down
|
you give me bad signs when you don't make a sound
|
you get hysterical
|
it's all so clerical
|
you give me hard times
|
it's like a shakedown
|
i know that sometimes things don't ever match
|
i know that sometimes you don't even need a map
|
the long street goes you catch the afterglow
|
|
got to be moving something around again
|
still connected but standing apart till then
|
but it's all right now
|
i'm sure you feel it some how
|
got to be moving something around again
|
this could drag on forever
|
you follow it through
|
if i could just get close to you
|
if i could take you there
|
if i could just get close to you
|
a little closer than the air
|
just a little bit closer
|
it's so exciting when you tell me in that voice
|
it's so enticing i really haven't got the choice
|
but you can't pretend
|
you're going to save it for the end
|
got to be moving something around again
|
and you still curious about it
|
are you still there
|
|
tell me you're ready
|
when you're feeling dapper
|
thinking it over should not take so long
|
what does it matter
|
all delusions stick around
|
you want to recover form your empty walls
|
it's only love
|
it's only love
|
and when the picture falters
|
it's only love
|
it's riding shotgun straight through your heart
|
riding shotgun in the dark
|
it's coming with a real kick start
|
riding shotgun straight through your heart
|
all your illusions
|
they keep you busy lately
|
all revolutions fail in the fragile face of time
|
you only know it's just a risk you go to take
|
red drops of pain
|
making you weak inside want to be steady
|
i know you feel it coming
|
could not decipher
|
what they really meant to say
|
caught off guard
|
wrecking your tinsel scene
|
going too far with a makeshift dream
|
|
sometimes when you can't get through
|
and no one ever comes to you
|
you got to question one more time
|
what you're going to find
|
sometimes when things don't click
|
and the throws of life are getting thick
|
the thought of good times linger on
|
where they don't belong
|
that feeling's got to stay
|
even when you time gets broken
|
that feeling's got to stay
|
don't let it get away
|
sometimes when you can't think straight
|
and the other side is lookig great
|
yoy hear the whispers in the dark
|
make the same remark
|
|
fake me out of control
|
put my mind on solid ground
|
push me to the threshold
|
turn it all around
|
i was gone and you were deep
|
i want to know if it's for keeps
|
i want to dream but i get no sleep
|
you know they tell me
|
she's on
|
she finds a way
|
and takes whatever comes along
|
step me 'round the sinkholes
|
call me when you're coming down
|
push me to the threshold
|
turn it all around
|
mirror mirror getting wired
|
mirror mirror real desire
|
when you slip into that silky mood
|
i get the feeling that you're being rude
|
|
when i try to sit tight
|
i get nervous and confused
|
people's faces melt into
|
that look you always use
|
they set you up with dignity
|
they pull you down in pain
|
you have no control
|
so you really can't complain
|
i don't want to give you lip
|
or bust your christmas chops
|
stand up on a mountain
|
with a beer can and a mop
|
they scream until their neck bleeds
|
and jack off in the wind
|
feeling all the power
|
it takes to be a general
|
it takes to be a president
|
it takes to be a healer
|
it takes to be a clown
|
you gotta come alive
|
ok so it's nothing
|
nothing's what it is
|
you can say it's idiotic
|
i can say it's his
|
you can find adventure
|
in someone else's life
|
or you can criticize
|
when you need a lift
|
|
the quick change world is fallin' down
|
and it sweeps you off your feet
|
your razzle dazzle cinnamon mind
|
keeps you so complete
|
keeps you on your feet
|
well the blue denim dream in the victim line
|
is staring at the tube
|
riding on the flatboard
|
toward the tin town tomb
|
cause they got some room
|
in the hall of doom
|
well the black rain now is running down
|
and you're feeling like a scud
|
like a typical mata hari
|
pulling out the plug
|
frozen on the fear train
|
failing to survive
|
sitting on a bench
|
in the park
|
and looking for something
|
in your eye
|
oh my god is this the end
|
this crazy world we must defend
|
beneath the stars
|
we have our feast
|
but most of all
|
the quick change world is a fallin' down
|
if you're looking through the years
|
dance beneath the faulty stars
|
live between the tears
|
the quick change world
|
is falling through the hole
|
the quick change world
|
is losing all control
|
well you might be interested
|
and you might be fake
|
and you might think it's alright
|
beneath the stars
|
all souls are lucky
|
now and again
|
|
hiding in your place
|
for a long time
|
with broken wings
|
and a real hard line
|
i get hopped up
|
red red car i got a red car
|
i'm going real far
|
with my red car
|
take it out on the street
|
take it to the stars
|
cause i feel so fine
|
with my red car
|
i'm a real live wire
|
got a real desire
|
to go real far
|
with my red red car
|
i got a real gold chain
|
gold gold gold
|
chain chain chain
|
wrap it around my neck
|
go out on the street with that chain
|
hold up that chain
|
gold gold chain
|
look at me
|
i got a gold chain
|
i get hopped up
|
when you cover up my eyes
|
when you show me your surprise
|
when you tell me it's the end
|
when you start it all again
|
blue blue news i got some real blue news
|
got some real live fakes
|
got some blue blue shoes
|
blue blue shoes
|
real blue news
|
what's it going to take to pick and choose
|
what's it going to take to hear some real good news
|
i'm a real live wire
|
i get hopped up
|
real bad breaks
|
i got some real bad breaks
|
i can't show down
|
got some real bad breaks
|
real bad dreams
|
listen around
|
i hear some killer screams
|
i'm a real live wire
|
i get hopped up
|
