Oh, the weather outside is frightful
But the fire is so delightful
And since we've no place to go
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

Man, it doesn't show signs of stopping
And I brought some corn for popping
The lights are turned way down low
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

When we finally kiss good-night
How I'll hate going out in the storm
But if you really hold me tight
All the way home I'll be warm

And the fire is slowly dying
And, my dear, we're still good-bye-ing
But as long as you love me so
Let it snow, let it snow and snow

When we finally kiss good-night
How I'll hate going out in the storm
But if you really grab me tight
All the way home I'll be warm

The fire is slowly dying
And, my dear, we're still good-bye-ing
But as long as you love me so
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

Take me now, baby, here as I am
Hold me close, try and understand
Desire is hunger is the fire I breathe
Love is a banquet on which we feed

 

Come on now, try and understand
The way I feel under your command
Take my hand, as the sun descends
They can't hurt you now
Can't hurt you now
Can't hurt you now

 

Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us

 

Have I doubt, baby, when I'm alone
Love is a ring on the telephone
Love is an angel, disguised as lust
Here in our bed 'til the morning comes

 

Come on now, try and understand
The way I feel under your command
Take my hand, as the sun descends
They can't hurt you now
Can't hurt you now
Can't hurt you now

 

Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us

 

With love we sleep, with doubt the vicious circle turns, and burns
Without you, I cannot live, forgive the yearning burning
I believe in love too real to feel, take me now, take me now, take me now

 

Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lust
Because the night belongs to lovers
Saying anybody saving face belongs to her

Who wants to be a millionaire ? I don't
Have flashy flunkies everywhere ? I don't
Who wants the bother of a country estate ?
A country estate is something I'd hate

 

Who wants to wallow in champagne ? I don't
Who wants a supersonic plane ? I don't
Who wants a private landing feel through ? I don't
And I don't 'cause all I want is you

 

Who wants to be a millionaire ? I don't
Who wants uranium to spare ? I don't
Who wants to journey on a gigantic yacht ?
Do I want a yacht ? Oh, how I do not

 

Who wants a fancy foreign car ? I don't
Who wants to tire of caviar ?
Who wants a marble swimming pool too ? I don't
And I don't 'cause all I want is you

 

Who wants to be a millionaire ? I don't
And go to every swell affair ?
Who wants to ride behind a liveried chauffeur ?
A liveried chauffeur, do I want ? No sir

 

Who wants an opera box I'll bet ? I don't
And sleep through Wagner at the met ? I don't
Who wants to corner Cartiers too ? I don't
And I don't 'cause all I want is you

There's a hole in your heart

That you're trying to fill

But you'll never accomplish it

Standing so still...

Already love you

They already love you

 

The TV is blasting

So loud you can't hear

There's a world out there waiting

Where everything's real

And they love you

They already love you

 

Distraction's (something)

and your head's (something)

Every gorgeous sound

Every picture frame

But even those guys 

From that hip magazine

Think you're lost in the ground

And you'll never be, never be found

And they loved you...

Whoa-oh, they already loved you...

 

Stuck in the moment

'cuz that's all it is

You're reborn every blink

As you take the world, 

take the world in

And they love you

Whoah-oh, they already love you....

 

Whatever you've known

Is always at risk 

And whatever you've done

Is not who you be-,

Who you become...

And they love you

Whoah-oh, they already love you...

 

(don't know this part)

Well everyone knows that this life is gift

But you never get out 

what you never, you never put in

And they love you

Whoa-oh, they already love you...

Whoa-oh-oh-ohhh

 

Believe in yourself

Believe in yourself

You can't be lost anywhere

In this world - in yourself

Believe in yourself

You can't be lost anywhere

But your own heart...

 

Well all of these words

You mistake for your thoughts

And that language you think

Without thinking you, thinking you talk

And they love you

Whoah-oh, they already love you...

 

Without past there's no guilt

Without future no fear

And you are what you is

And you're standing right,

standing right here

And they love you

Whoah-oh, they already love you....

 

(Don't know this part)

But your human eyes

and your human voice

Contribute your dreams

And your lost memories

When they ask how it feels

And you know what they know what they mean

And they love you

Whoah-oh, they already love you...

 

(Refrain repeats)

Some take the bible
For what it's worth
When it says that the meek
Shall inherit the Earth
Well, I heard that some sheik
Has bought New Jersey last week
'N you suckers ain't gettin' nothin'

Is Hare Rama really wrong
If you wander around
With a napkin on
With a bell on a stick
An' your hair is all gone...
(The geek shall inherit nothin')

You say yer life's a bum deal
'N yer up against the wall...
Well, people, you ain't even got no
Deal at all
'Cause what they do
In Washington
They just takes care
of NUMBER ONE
An' NUMBER ONE ain't YOU
You ain't even NUMBER TWO

Those Jesus Freaks
Well, they're friendly but
The shit they believe
Has got their minds all shut
An' they don't even care
When the church takes a cut
Ain't it bleak when you got so much nothin'
(So whaddya do)
Eat that pork
Eat that ham
Laugh till ya choke
On Billy Graham
Moses, Aaron 'n Abraham...
They're all a waste of time
'N it's yer ass that's on the line
(IT'S YER ASS THAT'S ON THE LINE)

Do what you wanna
Do what you will
Just don't mess up
Your neighbor's thrill
'N when you pay the bill
Kindly leave a little tip
And help the next poor sucker
On his one way trip. . .
SOME TAKE THE BIBLE. . .
(Aw gimme a half a dozen for the hotel room!)

Tony - my head's on a pillow
Clock strikes it's the count of four
Four hours of tossin' turnin'
In a big brass bed
I've tried all the tricks in the book now
But I just can't sleep no more
Tony, what's happenin' to me
I'm tired I'm cold
Somehow I'm imagining things
Movin' in the shadow
And my face is a painting crying
In the heat of the sun
Let the world outside - pay it's dues
I'll never know why - no matter how high
It's a sign that's been sealed delivered
Tony, it's lookin' into your


Quiet eyes - silent tears
Silent as the night you deserted me
Quiet eyes - silent tears
Silence - and the night lasted seven years


Meanwhile I'm counting all the hours
I've counted all the days
On the pages of a calendar
I threw it all away
Tony I'm tryin' to make some sense baby
I'm always tryin' to get through to you
Maybe you're the last one to notice
How much I've been lovin' you
Let the world outside - pay it's dues
I'll never know why - no matter how high
It's a sign that's been sealed delivered
Tony, it's lookin' into your


Quiet eyes - silent tears
Silent as the night you deserted me
Quiet eyes - silent tears
Silent as the night you deserted me
Quiet eyes - silent tears
Silence - the night lasted seven years
Quiet eyes - silent tears
Silent as the night you deserted me
Quiet eyes - silent tears
Silence - the night lasted seven years
Quiet eyes - silent tears
Silent as the night you deserted me
Quiet eyes - silent tears
Silence - the night lasted seven years

I have a dream, a song to sing
To help me cope with anything
If you see the wonder of a fairy tale
You can take the future even if you fail
I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels
When I know the time is right for me
I'll cross the stream - I have a dream

I have a dream, a fantasy
To help me through reality
And my destination makes it worth the while
Pushing through the darkness still another mile
I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels
When I know the time is right for me
I'll cross the stream - I have a dream
I'll cross the stream - I have a dream

I have a dream, a song to sing
To help me cope with anything
If you see the wonder of a fairy tale
You can take the future even if you fail
I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels
When I know the time is right for me
I'll cross the stream - I have a dream
I'll cross the stream - I have a dream

I never knew the charm of spring
Never met it face to face
I never new my heart could sing
Never missed a warm embrace

April in Paris, chestnuts in blossom
Holiday tables under the trees
April in Paris, this is a feeling
No one can ever reprise

I never knew the charm of spring
Never met it face to face
I never new my heart could sing
Never missed a warm embrace

Till April in Paris
Whom can I run to
What have you done to my heart
What have you done to my heart

We were shootin' at a mound of dirt.
Well nothing was broken, nothing was hurt.
But I probably really should have been at work.
But if my free time's gone, would you promise me this?

That you will please bury me with it?
Please bury me with it!

 

Well sure as planets come, I know that they end.
And if I'm here when that happens, will you promise me this my friend?

Please bury me with it!
I just don't need none of that Mad Max bullshit.

 

Well the suit got tight and it split at the seams.
But I kept it out of habit and I kept it really clean.
But if it's getting' faded, if it's runnin' outta thread,
Could you just do this for me my friend?

And please just please bury me with it?
Please bury me with it!

 

Well we moved to the left and moved to the right.
And sure as hell we stayed out almost every single night.
But if the party's over, if the fun has to end,
could you do this for me my friend?

Would you just please bury me with it?
Please bury me with it!

 

Good news for people who love bad news.
We've lost the plot and we just can't choose.
We are hummingbirds who are just not willing to move.
And there's good news for people who love bad news.
We are hummingbirds who've lost the plot and we will not move.
We have good news for anyone who loves bad news.

 

We were aiming for the moon. We were shooting at the stars.
But the kids were just shooting at the busses and the cars.
So don't drink the water, don't you breathe the air.
If it's gotten to that point then I have to declare:

That you please bury me with it!
Please bury me with it!

 

Well fads they come and fads they go.
And God I love that rock and roll!
Well the point was fast but it was too blunt to miss.
Life handed us a paycheck, we said, "We worked harder than this!"

Please bury me with it!
Please bury me with it!

We are hummingbirds who are just not going to move.
And there's good news for people who love bad news.
We are hummingbirds who've lost the plot and we well not move.
We have great news for anyone who loves bad news.

All of the boys and the girls here, in Paris
Sing to the night without sight, but with madness
I can't keep up, I'm a wreck, but I want it
Tell me the truth, is it love or just Paris?
All of the boys and the girls here, in Paris
Sing to the night without sight, but with madness
I can't keep up, I'm a wreck, but I want it
Tell me the truth, is it love or just Paris ?

My heart is yearning, but Paris is burning
Paris is burning all night long
My heart is dreaming, but Paris is screaming
Paris is screaming all night long
My heart is yearning, but Paris is burning
Paris is burning all night long
My heart is dreaming, but Paris is screaming
Paris is screaming all night long

Kids in the street drinking wine, on the sidewalk
Saving the plans that we made, 'till it's night time
Give me your glass, it's your last, you're too wasted
Or get me one too, cause I'm due any tasting
Kids in the street drinking wine, on the sidewalk
Saving the plans that we made, 'till it's night time
Give me your glass, it's your last, you're too wasted
Or get me one too, cause I'm due any tasting

 

My heart is yearning, but Paris is burning
Paris is burning all night long
My heart is dreaming, but Paris is screaming
Paris is screaming all night long
My heart is yearning, but Paris is burning
Paris is burning all night long
My heart is dreaming, but Paris is screaming
Paris is screaming all night long

I've lost my way, it's hard to find it through
I see the night, but I'm lost outside of you
I've lost my way, it's hard to find it through
I see the night, but I'm lost outside of you

My heart is yearning, but Paris is burning
Paris is burning all night long
My heart is dreaming, but Paris is screaming
Paris is screaming all night long
My heart is yearning, but Paris is burning
Paris is burning all night long
My heart is dreaming, but Paris is screaming
Paris is screaming all night long

 

I've lost my way, it's hard to find it through
I see the night, but I'm lost outside of you
I've lost my way, it's hard to find it through
I see the night, but I'm lost outside of you
I've lost my way, it's hard to find it through
I see the night, but I'm lost outside of you
I've lost my way, it's hard to find it through
I see the night, but I'm lost outside of you

You came to my show, and I saw you in the crowd
I didn't know your name,

 

I didn't know your name
I asked all my friends who you were and your story
They told me the same,

they told me the same

 

I've left my heart to you, but it's not fair

Coz you're taking me for granted baby
I made a start with you, but it's not fair
Coz you're over the Atlantic baby

 

One journey for you but it's worth it
One life here with me and it's magic
One journey for you, but it's worth it
One life here with me and it's magic

 

You stayed in my head where I saw you all the time
I didn't think you care, I didn't think you care
I found you one day with a mouth full of attitude
And you stole me away, you stole me away

 

I've left my heart to you, but it's not fair
Coz you're taking me for granted baby
I made a start with you, but it's not fair
Coz you're over the Atlantic baby

 

One journey for you but it's worth it
One life here with me and it's magic
One journey for you, but it's worth it
One life here with me

 

One journey for you
one life here with me
One journey for you
one life here with me

 

One journey for you, but it's worth it
One life here with me and it's magic
One journey for you, but it's worth it
One life here with me and it's magic
One journey for you, but it's worth it
One life here with me and it's magic
One journey for you, but it's worth it
One life here with me and it's magic
One journey for you, but it's worth it
One life here with me and it's magic
One journey for you, but it's worth it
One life here with me and it's magic

I wore my boots out walkin'
Poured my heart out talkin'
I felt the pain & I broke the chain
But I still got a long way to go

 

Been on the road till tomorrow
Been through the joys & the sorrows
Came through the flood 
& I pulled through the mud
But I still got a long way to go

 

Been in the back-room dealin'
Been on a long hook reelin'
Crashed in the shed
& I woke in a sunny bed
& I still got a long way to go

 

Been on the rails & big muddy
I've crossed the trails rocky & rutted

Been down the road a million miles
But I still got a long way to go

 

I've traveled near & traveled far
I beat a hole in my guitar
Crawled with the zeroes
& I stood with my heroes
& I still got a long way to go

 

Been in the rain & on the run
I worked a long day in the sun
I slopped the pails
& I beat the nails
But I still got a long way to go

 

I tried the a verse as the be verse
I took the see verse to the chorus
Rewrote & changed it 
Then rearranged it
& I still got a long way to go

 

I lost my way in darkest night
I woke again & saw the light
Opened the book & I . . took a look
But I still got a long way to go

 

Tell me what . . . what is the soul of a man?
He's got to reach up his hand
Tell me what . . . what is the soul of a man?
He's got to reach out his hand
& I still got a long way to go
Still got a long way to go
Still got a long way to go

To Moscow I came seeking fortune
But they’re making me work til I’m dead
The bourgeoisie have it so easy
The Tsar’s putting gold on his bread
The people of Moscow are hungry
But think what a feast there could be
If we could create a socialist state
That cared for the people like me: 

I am the man who arranges the blocks
That descend upon me from up above.
They come down and I spin them around
Til they fit in the ground like hand in glove.
Sometimes it seems that to move blocks is fine
And the lines will be formed as they fall -
Then I see that I have misjudged it!
I should not have nudged it after all.
Can I have a long one please?
Why must these infernal blocks tease?

I am the man who arranges the blocks
That continue to fall from up above.
Come Muscovite! Let the workers unite!
A collective regime of peace and love.
I work so hard in arranging the blocks
But the landlord and taxman bleed me dry
But the workers will rise! We will not compromise
For we know that the old regime must die.
Long live Lenin, kill the tsar!
We salute the sickle and star!

I am the man who arranges the blocks
That continue to fall from up above.
The food on your plate now belongs to the state
A collective regime of peace and love.
I have no choice in arranging the blocks
Under Bolshevik rule, what they say goes.
The rule of the game is we all are the same
And my blocks must create unbroken rows.
Long live Stalin! He loves you!
Sing these words, or you know what he’ll do...

I am the man who arranges the blocks
That are made by the men in Kazakhstan.
They come two weeks late and they don’t tessellate
But we’re working to Stalin’s five year plan.
I am the man who arranges the tanks
That will make all the Nazis keep away
The Fuhrer is dead, and Europe is Red!
Let us point all our guns at the USA.
We shall live forever more!
We can start a nuclear war!

I am the man who arranges the blocks
That are building a highly secret base.
Hip hip hurrah for the USSR! 
We are sending our men to outer space.
I work so hard in arranging the blocks
But each night I go home to my wife in tears -
What’s the point of it all, when you’re building a wall
And in front of your eyes it disappears?
Pointless work for pointless pay
This is one game I shall not play.

I am the man who arranges the blocks!
But tomorrow I think I’ll stay in bed.
The winter is cold, I’ve got plenty of gold
And I’m standing in line for a loaf of bread
Maybe we’d be better off
If we brought down Gorbachev

I am the man who arranges the blocks
That continue to fall from up above.
The markets are free! So much money for me!
Tell me, why should I care for peace and love?
The markets are free! So much money for me!
Tell me, why should I care for peace and love?
Peace and love, peace and love!

And now the wall is down, the Marxists frown
There’s foreign shops all over town
When in Red Square, well don’t despair
There’s Levi’s and McDonald’s there
The US gave us crystal meth
And Yeltsin drank himself to death
But now that Putin’s put the boot in,
Who’ll get in our way?

So we reject free enterprise
And once again the left will rise.
Prepare the flags to be unfurled
For we’re seceding from the world:
We shall regain the Georgian soil
We shall obtain the Arctic oil
We shall arrange the blocks and toil
Forever and a day.

Game over.

South of the border, down Mexico way
That's where I fell in love, when the stars above came out to play
And now as I wander, my thoughts ever stray
South of the border, down Mexico way

She was a picture in old Spanish lace
Just for a tender while I kissed a smile upon her face
'Cause it was fiesta and we were so gay
South of the border, Mexico way

Then she sighed as she whispered, "manana"
Never dreaming that we were parting
And I lied as a whispered, "manana"
'Cause our tomorrow never came

South of the border, I jumped back one day
There in a veil of white, by the candlelight, she knelt to pray
The mission bells told me that I mustn't stay
South of the border, Mexico way

The mission bells told me, ding, dong, that I must not stay
Stay South of the border, down Mexico way

Those fingers in my hair
That sly come-hither stare
That strips my conscience bare
It's witchcraft

And I've got no defense for it
The heat is too intense for it
What good would common sense for it do ?

'cause it's witchcraft, wicked witchcraft
And although I know it's strictly taboo
When you arouse the need in me
My heart says "Yes, indeed" in me
"Proceed with what you're leadin' me to"

It's such an ancient pitch
But one I wouldn't switch
'cause there's no nicer witch than you

'cause it's witchcraft, that crazy witchcraft
And although I know it's strictly taboo
When you arouse the need in me
My heart says "Yes, indeed" in me
"Proceed with what you're leadin' me to"

It's such an ancient pitch
But one I'd never switch
'cause there's no nicer witch than you

I am a lineman for the county and I drive the main road
Searchin' in the sun for another overload
I hear you singin' in the wire, I can hear you through the whine
And the Wichita Lineman is still on the line

I know I need a small vacation but it don't look like rain
And if it snows that stretch down south won't ever stand the strain
And I need you more than want you, and I want you for all time
And the Wichita Lineman is still on the line

And I need you more than want you, and I want you for all time
And the Wichita Lineman is still on the line

Asked you a question
I didn't need you to reply
Is it gettin' heavy?
But they'll realize
Is it gettin' heavy?
Well, I thought it was already as heavy
As can be
 
Is it overwhelming
To use a crane to crush a fly?
It's a good time for Superman
To lift the sun into the sky
'Cause it's gettin' heavy
Well, I thought it was already as heavy
As can be
 
Tell everybody
Waitin' for Superman
That they should try to
Hold on
Best they can
He hasn't dropped them
Forgot them
Or anything
It's just too heavy for Superman to lift
 
Is it gettin' heavy?
Well, I thought it was already as heavy as can be
Tell everybody
Waitin' for Superman
That they should try to
Hold on
Best they can
He hasn't dropped them
Forgot them
Or anything
It's just too heavy for Superman to lift

Turnaround, every now and then I get a little bit lonely
And you're never coming round
Turnaround, every now and then I get a little bit tired
Of listening to the sound of my tears
Turnaround, every now and then I get a little bit nervous
That the best of all the years have gone by
Turnaround, every now and then I get a little bit terrified
And then I see the look in your eyes
Turnaround bright eyes, but every now and then I fall apart
Turnaround bright eyes, every now and then I fall apart

 

And I need you now tonight
And I need you more than ever
And if you only hold me tight
We'll be holding on forever
And we'll only be making it right
'Cause we'll never be wrong together
We can take it to the end of the line
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time (all of the time)
I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark
We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks
I really need you tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight

 

Once upon a time I was falling in love
But now I'm only falling apart
And there's nothing I can do
A total eclipse of the heart
Once upon a time there was light in my life
But now there's only love in the dark
Nothing I can say
A total eclipse of the heart

 

Turnaround bright eyes, every now and then I fall apart
Turnaround bright eyes, every now and then I fall apart

 

And I need you now tonight (and I need you now)
And I need you more than ever
And if you only hold me tight (and if you only)
We'll be holding on forever
And we'll only be making it right ('cause we'll never be wrong)
'Cause we'll never be wrong together
We can take it to the end of the line
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time (all of the time)
I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark
We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks
I really need you tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight

 

Once upon a time I was falling in love
But now I'm only falling apart
And there's nothing I can say
A total eclipse of the heart
A total eclipse of the heart
A total eclipse of the heart
Turn around bright eyes

Next time you're found, with your chin on the ground
There a lot to be learned, so look around

Just what makes that little old ant
Think he'll move that rubber tree plant
Anyone knows an ant, can't
Move a rubber tree plant

But he's got high hopes, he's got high hopes
He's got high apple pie, in the sky hopes

So any time you're gettin' low
'stead of lettin' go
Just remember that ant
Oops there goes another rubber tree plant

When troubles call, and your back's to the wall
There a lot to be learned, that wall could fall

Once there was a silly old ram
Thought he'd punch a hole in a dam
No one could make that ram, scram
He kept buttin' that dam

'cause he had high hopes, he had high hopes
He had high apple pie, in the sky hopes

So any time you're feelin' bad
'stead of feelin' sad
Just remember that ram
Oops there goes a billion kilowatt dam

All problems just a toy balloon
They'll be bursted soon
They're just bound to go pop
Oops there goes another problem kerplop

Now this could only happen to a guy like me
And only happen in a town like this
So may I say to each of you most gratef'lly
As I throw each one of you a kiss

This is my kind of town, Chicago is
My kind of town, Chicago is
My kind of people, too
People who smile at you

And each time I roam, Chicago is
Calling me home, Chicago is
Why I just grin like a clown
It's my kind of town

My kind of town, Chicago is
My kind of town, Chicago is
My kind of razzmatazz
And it has all that jazz

And each time I leave, Chicago is
Tuggin' my sleeve, Chicago is
The Wrigley Building, Chicago is
The Union Stockyard, Chicago is
One town that won't let you down
It's my kind of town

The calf of gold is still standing!
One adulates his power,
One adulates his power,
From one end of the world to the other end!
To celebrate the infamous idol,
Kings and the people mixed together,
To the somber sound of golden coins,
They dance a wild round
Around his pedestal
Around his pedestal
And Satan leads the dance!

 

The calf of gold is the victor over the gods!
In its absurd glory,    
In its absurd glory,    
The abject monster insults heaven!
It contemplates, oh weird frenzy!
At his feet the human race,
Hurling itself about, iron in hand,
In blood and in the mire,
Where gleams the burning metal,
Where gleams the burning metal,
And Satan leads the dance!

I was a little too tall
Could've used a few pounds
Tight pants points hardly reknown
She was a black-haired beauty with big dark eyes
And points all her own sitting way up high
Way up firm and high

Out past the cornfields where the woods got heavy
Out in the back seat of my '60 Chevy
Workin' on mysteries without any clues
Workin' on our night moves
Tryin' to make some front page drive-in news
Workin' on our night moves
In the summertime
In the sweet summertime

We weren't in love, oh no, far from it
We weren't searchin' for some pie in the sky summit
We were just young and restless and bored
Livin' by the sword
And we'd steal away every chance we could
To the backroom, to the alley or the trusty woods
I used her, she used me
But neither one cared
We were gettin' our share
Workin' on our night moves
Tryin' to lose the awkward teenage blues
Workin' on our night moves
And it was summertime
Sweet summertime summertime

And oh the wonder
We felt the lightning
And we waited on the thunder
Waited on the thunder

I awoke last night to the sound of thunder
How far off I sat and wondered
Started humming a song from 1962
Ain't it funny how the night moves
When you just don't seem to have as much to lose
Strange how the night moves
With autumn closing in

warm sun feed me up
i'm leery loaded up 
loathing for a change
and i slip some
boil away
swallowed followed
heavy about everything 
but my love
swallowed sorrowed
i'm with everyone and yet not
i'm with everyone and yet not
i'm with everyone and yet not
just wanna be myself
hey you said that you would love to try
some
hey you said that you would love to die
some
in the middle of a world on a fishhook
you're the wave
you're the wave
you're the wave
swallowed borrowed
heavy about everything
but my love
swallowed hollowed
sharp about everyone
but yourself
swallowed oh no 
i'm with everyone and yet not
i'm with everyone and you're not
i'm with everyone and yet not
piss on self-esteem
forward busted knee
sick head 
blackened lungs
and i'm a simple selfish son
swallowed followed
oh no i'm with everyone and yet not
got to get away from here
got to get away from here
i miss the one that i love a lot
i miss the one that i love a lot

I found a picture of you, oh oh oh oh
What hijacked my world that night
To a place in the past
We've been cast out of? Oh oh oh oh
Now we're back in the fight
We're back on the train
Oh, back on the chain gang
 
A circumstance beyond our control, oh oh oh oh
The phone, the TV and the news of the world
Got in the house like a pigeon from hell, oh oh oh oh
Threw sand in our eyes and descended like flies
Put us back on the train
Oh, back on the chain gang
 
The powers that be
That force us to live like we do
Bring me to my knees
When I see what they've done to you
But I'll die as I stand here today
Knowing that deep in my heart
They'll fall to ruin one day
For making us part
 
I found a picture of you, oh oh oh oh
Those were the happiest days of my life
Like a break in the battle was your part, oh oh oh oh
In the wretched life of a lonely heart
Now we're back on the train
Oh, back on the chain gang
