Don't believe what you hear
And you can swallow
No, nothing makes sense
To take a cup
And I must be
Oh, it hurts baby
And I must be
Well my heart is where it's always been
I want to make love to you
You're the real thing
Give me one last chance
You're honey child to a swarm of bees
You're the real thing
We're free to fly the crimson sky
Take me higher
You're the real thing
She's slippy
[REFRAIN]
Johnny take a dive
She's the wave
[REFRAIN]
Lift my days, light up my nights
One day you will look back
[REFRAIN]
We move through miracle days
[STUFF KINDA LIKE THE REFRAIN...]

Don't believe what you see
If you just close your eyes
You can feel the enemy
When I first met you girl
You had fire in your soul
What happened your face
Of melting in snow ?
Now it looks like this!
Or you can spit
You can throw it up
Or choke on it
And you can dream
So dream out loud
You know that your time is coming 'round
So don't let the bastards grind you down
Nothing seems to fit
I know you'd hit out
If you only knew who to hit
And I'd join the movement
If there was one I could believe in
Yeah I'd break bread and wine
If there was a church I could receive in
'Cos I need it now
To fill it up
To drink it slow
I can't let you go
An acrobat
To talk like this
And act like that
And you can dream
So dream out loud
And don't let the bastards grind you down
What are we going to do now it's all been said ?
No new ideas in the house, and every book has been read
An acrobat
To talk like this
And act like that
And you can dream
So dream out loud
And you can find
Your own way out
And you can build
And I can will
And you can call
I can't wait until
And you can stash
And you can seize
In dreams begin
Responsibilities
And I can love
And I can love
But I know that the tide is turning 'round
So don't let the bastards grind you down
Even Better Than The Real Thing
Give me one more chance
And you'll be satisfied
Give me two more chances
You won't be denied
My head is somewhere in between
Give me one more chance
Let me be your lover tonight
Yeah the real thing
You're the real thing
Even better than the real thing
Child...
And I'm gonna make you sing
Give me half a chance
To ride on the waves that you bring
Gonna blow right through you like a breeze
Give me one last dance
We'll slide down the surface of things
Yeah the real thing
You're the real thing
Even better than the real thing
Child...
The sun won't melt our wings tonight
Take me higher
You take me higher
You take me higher
Yeah the real thing
You're the real thing
Even better than the real thing
Even better than the real thing
Even better than the real thing
Love Is Blindness
Love is blindness
I don't want to see
Won't you wrap the night
Around me
Oh my heart
Love is blindness
In a parked car
In a crowded street
You see your love
Made complete
Thread is ripping
The knot is slipping
Love is blindness
Love is clockworks
And cold steel
Fingers too numb to feel
Squeeze the handle
Blow out the candle
Love is blindness
Love is blindness
I don't want to see
Won't you wrap the night
Around me
Oh my love
Blindness
A little death
Without mourning
No call
And no warning
Baby...a dangerous idea
That almost makes sense
Love is drowning
In a deep well
All the secrets
And no one to tell
Take the money
Honey
Blindness
Love is blindness
I don't want to see
Won't you wrap the night
Around me
Oh my love
Blindness
Mysterious Ways
Johnny take a walk
With your sister the moon
Let her pale light in
To fill up your room
You've been living underground
Eating from a can
You've been running away
From what you don't understand...
You’re sliding down
She'll be there
When you hit the ground
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
She moves in mysterious ways
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
She moves in mysterious ways
With your sister in the rain
Let her talk about the things
You can't explain
To touch is to heal
To hurt is to steal
If you want to kiss the sky
Better learn how to kneel
(On your knees boy- That's my favorite part.)
She turns the tide
She sees the man inside the child
Love
And you'll see
Where
You were held how
By this love
While
You could stand
There
You could move on this moment
Follow this feeling
One
Is it getting better
Or do you feel the same
Will it make it easier on you now
You got someone to blame
You say
One love
One life
When it's one need
In the night
One love
We get to share it
It Leaves you baby
If you don't care for it
Did I disappoint you ?
Or leave a bad taste in your mouth
You act like you never had love
And you want me to go without
Well it's
Too late
Tonight
To drag the past out
Into the light
We're one
But we're not the same
We get to carry each other
Carry each other
One
Have you come here for forgiveness
Have you come to raise the dead
Have you come here to play Jesus
To the lepers in your head
Did I ask too much
More than a lot
You gave me nothing
Now it's all I got
We're one
But we're not the same
Well we hurt each other
Then we do it again
You say
Love is a temple
Love a higher law
Love is a temple
Love the higher law
You ask me to enter
But then you make me crawl
And I can't be holding on
To what you got
When all you got is hurt
One love
One blood
One life
You got to do what you should
One life
With each other
Sisters
Brothers
One life
But we're not the same
We get to
Carry each other
Carry each other
One… love
One
So Cruel
We crossed the line
Who pushed who over
It doesn't matter to you
It matters to me
We're cut adrift
We're still floating
I'm only hanging on
To watch you go down
I disappeared in you
You disappeared from me
I gave you everything you ever wanted
It wasn't what you wanted
The men who love you, you hate the most
They pass right through you like a ghost
They look for you but your spirit is in the air
Baby... you're nowhere
Oh... love
You say in love there are no rules
Oh... love
Sweetheart
You're so cruel
Desperation is a tender trap
It gets you every time
You put your lips to her lips
To stop the lie
Her skin is pale like God's only dove
Screams like an angel for your love
Then she makes you watch her from above
And you need her like a drug
Oh...love
You say in love there are no rules
Oh...love
Sweetheart
You're so cruel
She wears my love like a see-through dress
Her lips say one thing
Her movements something else
Oh love
Like a screaming flower
Love
Dying every hour
Love
You don't know if it's fear or desire
Danger the drug that takes you higher ?
Head in heaven
Fingers in the mire
Her heart is racing...you can't keep up
The night is bleeding like a cut
Between the horses of love and lust
We are trampled underfoot
Oh...love
You say in love there are no rules
Oh...love
Sweetheart
You're so cruel
Oh...love
To stay with you I'd be a fool
Sweetheart
You're so cruel
The Fly
Oh, baby child
It's no secret that the stars are falling from the sky
It's no secret that our world is in darkness tonight
They say the sun is sometimes eclipsed by a moon
You know I don't see you when she walks in the room
It's no secret that a friend is someone who lets you help
It's no secret that a liar won't believe anyone else
They say a secret is something you tell one other person
So I'm telling you...child
Low Voice Gospel Voice
Love...we shine like a
Burning star
A man will beg We're falling from
A man will crawl The sky
On the sheer face of love Tonight
Like a fly on a wall
It's no secret at all
It's no secret that a conscience can sometimes be a pest
It's no secret ambition bites the nails of success
Every artist is a cannibal, every poet is a thief
All kill their inspiration and sing about their grief
Oh love...
Low Voice Gospel Voice
Love...we shine like a
Burning star
A man will rise We're falling from
A man will fall The sky
From the sheer face of love Tonight
Like a fly from a wall
It's no secret at all
Love...we shine like a
Burning star
We're falling from
The sky
Tonight
Love...we shine like a
Burning star
A man will rise We're falling from
A man will fall The sky
From the sheer face of love Tonight
Like a fly from a wall
It's no secret at all
Six o'clock in the morning
I'm gonna run to you... run to you... run to you...Be still
Sunrise like a nosebleed
You're the last to hear the warning
You've been trying to throw your arms around the world
You've been falling off the sidewalk
Your lips move but you can't talk
Tryin' to throw your arms around the world
I'm gonna run to you... run to you... run to you...Woman I will
Your head hurts and you can't breathe
You been tryin' to throw you arms around the world
How far you gonna go
Before you lose your way back home ?
You've been trying to throw your arms around the world
I'm gonna run to you... run to you... run to you...Woman be still
I'm gonna run to you... run to you... run to you...Woman I will
Yeah, I dreamed that I saw Dali
With a supermarket trolley
He was trying to throw his arms around a girl
He took an open top beetle
Through the eye of a needle
He was tryin' to throw his arms around the world
I'm gonna run to you... run to you... run to you...Woman be still
I'm gonna run to you... run to you... run to you...Oh, Woman I will
And you just gotta... you just gotta make your faith...see...
Nothin' much to say I guess
Just the same as all the rest
Been trying to throw your arms around the world
And a woman needs a man
Like a fish needs a bicycle
When you're tryin' to throw your arms around the world
I'm gonna run to you... run to you... run to you
I'm gonna run to you... run to you... run to you
I'm gonna run to you... run to you... run to you
Woman be still...Woman be still
Be still...Woman be still
Woman I will
Sometimes I feel like I don't know
Sometimes I feel like checkin' out
I want to get it wrong
Can't always be strong
And love it won't be long
Oh sugar, don't you cry
Oh child, wipe the tears from your eyes
You know I need you to be strong
And the day is as dark as the night is long
Feel like trash, you make me feel clean
I'm in the black, can't see or be seen
Baby, baby, baby...light my way
(alright now)
Baby, baby, baby...light my way
You bury your treasure
Where it can't be found
But your love is like a secret
That's been passed around
There is a silence that comes to a house
Where no one can sleep
I guess it's the price of love
I know it's not cheap
(oh, come on)
Baby, baby, baby...light my way
(oh, come on)
Baby, baby, baby...light my way
Oh...ultraviolet...
Ultraviolet...
Ultraviolet...
Ultraviolet...
Baby, baby, baby...light my way
I remember
When we could sleep on stones
Now we lie together
In whispers and moans
When I was all messed up
And I had opera in my head
Your love was a light bulb
Hanging over my bed
Baby, baby, baby...light my way
(oh, come on)
Baby, baby, baby...light my way
Ultraviolet...
Ultraviolet...
Ultraviolet...
Ultraviolet...
Ultraviolet...
Baby, baby, baby...
Baby, baby, baby...
Baby, baby, baby...light my way
Baby, baby, baby...light my way
Baby, baby, baby...light my way
Baby, baby, baby...light my way
Baby, baby, baby...light my way
(*Note from me- there are quite a good lot of "baby"s in this song, aren't there?)
Until The End of the World
Haven't seen you in quite a while
Love, Love, Love
I was down the hold just passing time
Last time we met was a low-lit room
We were as close together as a bride and groom
We ate the food, we drank the wine
Everybody having a good time
Except you
You were talking about the end of the world
I took the money
I spiked your drink
You miss too much these days if you stop to think
You lead me on with those innocent eyes
You know I love the element of surprise
In the garden I was playing the tart
I kissed your lips and broke your heart
You were acting like it was the end of the world
Love, Love
Love, Love, Love
[Insert some more "love, love"s in here]
In my dream I was drowning in sorrows
But my sorrows, they learned to swim
Surrounding me, going down on me
Spilling over the brim
Waves of regret and waves of joy
I reached out for the one I tried to destroy
You said you'd wait until the end of the world
You're dangerous 'cause you're honest
You're an accident waiting to happen
You're dangerous, you don't know what you want
Well you left my heart empty as a vacant lot
For any spirit to haunt
Hey hey sha la la
Hey hey
You're a piece of glass left there on the beach
Well you tell me things I know you're not supposed to
Then you lead me just out of reach
Hey hey sha la la
Hey hey sha la la
Who's gonna ride your wild horses ?
Who's gonna drown in your blue sea ?
Who's gonna ride your wild horses ?
Who's gonna fall at the foot of thee ?
Well you stole it
'Cos I needed the cash
And you killed it
'Cos I wanted revenge
Well you lied to me
'Cos I asked you to
Baby, can we still be friends ?
Hey hey sha la la
Hey hey sha la la
Who's gonna ride your wild horses ?
Who's gonna drown in your blue sea ?
Who's gonna ride your wild horses ?
Who's gonna fall at the foot of thee ?
Oh, the deeper I spin
Oh, the hunter will sin for your ivory skin
Took a drive in the dirty rain
To a place where the wind calls your name
Under the trees the river laughing at you and me
Hallelujah, heavens white rose
The doors you open
I just can't close
Don't turn around
Don't turn around again
Don't turn around
Your gypsy heart
Don't turn around
Don't turn around again
Don't turn around
And don't look back
Come on now love
Don't you look back
Who's gonna ride your wild horses ?
Who's gonna drown in your blue sea ?
Who's gonna taste your salt water kisses ?
Who's gonna take the place of me ?
I'm ready
I'm ready for the laughing gas
I'm ready
I'm ready for what's next
I'm ready to duck
I'm ready to dive
I'm ready to say
I'm glad to be alive
I'm ready
I'm ready for the push
In the cool of the night
In the warmth of the breeze
I'll be crawling around
On my hands and knees
She’s Just down the line...Zoo Station
Got to make it on time...Zoo Station
I'm ready
I'm ready for the gridlock
I'm ready
To take it to the street
I'm ready for the shuffle
Ready for the deal
Ready to let go of the steering wheel
I'm ready
Ready for the crush
She's just down the line...Zoo Station
Got to make it on time...Zoo Station
Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright
It's alright… it's alright… it's alright… It's alright
Hey baby… hey baby… hey baby… hey baby…
It's alright, it's alright
(Alright, you can turn it up)
Time is a train
Makes the future the past
Leaves you standing in the station
Your face pressed up against the glass
I'm just down the line from your love... Zoo Station
You know I'm under the sign... Zoo Station
I've got to make it on time
Make it on time... Zoo Station
I’m gonna be there… Zoo Station
Tracing the line… Zoo Station
That's alright... Zoo Station
Just two stops down the line... Zoo Station
Just a stop down the line...
