Long Goodbye

just a terminal case
like the fish on a hook im baited
youre welcome inside
my armies are marching i cant save you
who could save you
i can see that from your wounds youre open wide
it’s coming clear
now that youre leaving
you forgot the people that youve left behind
this is the long long goodbye
try to keep smiling as these tears break from my eyes
this is the way I used to feel
guess ill be trading down from something much more real

caught in a terrible wind
with a kick in the teeth you blew me in
anime eyes
youve never been quite sure what youre losing
but you know youre losing
so ill burn these bridges from the other side
and in the end
its all illusion
you forgot the people that youve left behind

this is the long long goodbye
try to keep smiling as these tears break from my eyes
this is the way I used to feel
guess ill be trading down from something much more real

never been quite sure what youre losing
but you know youre losing
i can see that from your wounds youre open wide
its coming clear
now that im leaving
i forgot the lovers that I left behind
Love Will Save The Day

it really is a revolution
the pornography made me do it
its all those drugs that got us high
it was the thoughts of revolution
theyve been poisoning my mind
so I walked you down into the water
but you keep coming up for air
all those people they dont give a damn
they just stood around and stared
love will save the day
love will save the day
love will save the day
love will save the day

go on and sell me more of your religion
cause its sure to make a change
last night god was on the tv screen
taking dollars for their pain
go on and talk about that evolution
its been poisoning my mind
ive been looking for a saviour
ive been waiting for a sign

love will save the day
love will save the day
love will save the day
love will save the day

i am walking
i am breathing
i cant hold you
i cant set you free

you are walking
you are bleeding
you cant feel it
you will be released

“we are talking about a society in which there will be no roles other than those chosen or those earned, we are really talking about humanism” — Gloria Steinem
Souring

daylight
mornings creeping in
had the blackest dream
are you souring
and i dreamt that i wiped all the blood from your eyes
woke up thinking i loved you but i cant say why

so please
leave your fucking money at the door
concede
you know youll be coming back for more
were all looking for gold here

midnight
and you inch along
devils in the backyard now
where it all went wrong

and i drink myself sick so I wont see you crawl
guess i drained all your beauty to watch you dissolve

so please
leave your fucking money at the door
concede
you know were all coming back for more
were all looking for gold here

and i hate that i need you and i dont know why
and i hate that i need you and i cant say why

so please
leave your fucking money at the door
concede
you know youll be coming back for more
were all looking for gold here
See You Fall

just another afternoon
and Im choking down tea for two
when youve flown so far away
and you know im waiting
when the consequence of rage
comes crashing through the living room floor
when i thought id found a life
seems ive been mistaken
so i take the paid holiday
but I just cant set foot on the plane
well your voice gets in the way
guess ill drive cross country

i see you fall
i see you fall
ive never see you look so beautiful
i see you fall
i see you fall
ive never see you look so beautiful

well my suits been pressed and cleaned
and Ive never seen you people before
well I wander through the town
and we sing our sad songs
as I lower you into the ground
well youve never seen these people before
with the bullets falling all around
and they sing their sad songs

i see you fall
i see you fall
ive never see you look so beautiful
i see you fall
i see you fall
ive never see you look so beautiful

i just keep moving
i see you watching
i see you waving from the window
and i think im falling
just keep driving
there is nothing to forgive now
hold on
Hope (Tell Everyone)

light breathe exhale
the damage is done
tonight weve failed
so tell everyone
the ships have gone by
tell everyone
i took them from the sky
you are the one who gives me hope
you are the one who gives me hope
tell everyone

wait fight dont hide
the sun has gone pale
im locked outside
the deserts gone cold
these flowers wont survive
the mountains just laugh
and smile as we go by

you are the one who gives me hope
you are the one who gives me hope
tell everyone
Everything Is All Right By Me Now

conscience has come
its incest as always
made us believers
mine is not the one wanting
fought off desire
everything is alright by me now
nervous and numb
flew over the top of it
outstretched each arm with a reason for being
fought off denials
everything is alright by me now

i can feel it
life is changing
just around the bend
its waiting
i can feel it
life is changing
just around the bend
its waiting

smile at the world
an unconscious ending
take one last look
mine is not the one wanting
undress desire
everything is alright by me now

i can feel it
life is changing
just around the bend
its waiting
i can feel it
life is changing
just around the bend
its waiting
Faithless

lord oh lord
cant you hear me calling
lord oh lord
hope it wont take long
im feeling quite good
from the asthma pills and alcohol
in the blink of an eye
itll all be gone
so i get high high higher
cant fake a life so beautiful
cant escape this world so faithless
its dragging me down

lord oh lord
wont you give me a reason
the simplest word
just to help us survive
im caught here again
between the laundry and my little one
another atheists love
is passing you by

so i get high high higher
cant fake a life so beautiful
cant escape this world so faithless
its dragging me down

dont know why we live in fear not harmony
cant stop time were always moving on
dont know why we’re always running away
Hey Kids

speak
speaking for myself
pretend im someone else
i never felt the same
well this time
breathe
im breathing up the air
its burning up my lungs
its burning through my hair
and i never felt
hey kids
what are you rocking for?

stick a finger though the sky
im blowing up the sun
the earth is going to die
i might die too
and all the things i love
and all the things i need
i never quite receive
and its still

hey kids
what are you rocking for?

and i am standing in the rain
im laughing at myself today today today
and i am breaking from the strain
im laughing at myself today today today
and i never needed more than all of your bodies
dont you know i never needed more than all of your love

its only been a game
palpitation of the heart
i never wanted more
so maybe we could play
its only been a game
the bleeding of the heart
you let your missiles fire
and we all start to run
The Wolves

walk dont run or these wolves will chase you down
keep your heart well buried underground
cause we are vicious enough without love
were ugly enough without love
sleep dont sleep im coming after you
the waves are in the fall of full release you know theyll rip you through
and we are vicious enough without hate
we’re vicious enough without love

we may find a better day
Going Home

here it comes again at 3am
that empty space it just takes my breath away
walk outside its the strangest thing
snow has fallen
radiates
i dont know but ive been told
all i know is what i see

had such a sweet dream
it ends in disaster
and somehow you could not find your way back through the door
im seeing the car crash
the end of the love song and even now i cant make it back to where you are

im going home

new york citys become a friend to me
and every street helps to wash out clean my memory
all of the faces they hide the light
i feel that change but the change passes me by

i dont know but ive been told
all i know is what i see

had such a sweet dream
it ends in disaster
and somehow i could not find my way back through the door
i follow the sidewalks
and all of your footprints
but somehow i could not make it back to where you are

im going home
Soldiering

tell me the story of your life
and how you thought you would never fail
tell me about the plans you had
that you couldn’t unveil
and into these things we ought
we would walk until we could not crawl
and underneath the rocks we used to share that we would never fall

we keep soldiering on
we keep soldiering on
til its done

winter she came quick and buried me beneath the ice
in the raw and in the flesh and in the weeds i was tranquilized
a leopard changes up his spots i tend to bite my tail
took you in so far inhaled til i could not exhale

we keep soldiering on
we keep soldiering on
til its done
