BIG EXIT

 

Look out ahead

I see danger come

I wanna pistol

I wanna gun

I'm scared baby

I wanna run

This world's crazy

Give me the gun

 

Baby, baby

Ain't it true

I'm immortal 
When I 'm with you

But I want a pistol

In my hand

I wanna go to 

A different land

 

I met a man

He told me straight

"You gotta leave

It's getting late"

Too many cops

Too many guns

All trying to do something

No-one else has one

 

Baby, baby

Ain't it true

I'm immortal 
When I 'm with you

But I want a pistol

In my hand

I wanna go to 

A different land

 

Sometimes it rains so hard

And I feel the hurt

In my heart

Feels like the end of the world

I see the children

Sharp as knives

I see the children

Dead and alives

Beautiful people

Beautiful girls

I just feel like it's the end of the world

 

I walk on concrete

I walk on sand

But I can't find

A safe place to stand

I'm scared baby

I wanna run

This world's crazy
Gimme the gun

 

Baby, baby

Ain't it true

I'm immortal 
When I 'm with you

But I want a pistol

In my hand

I wanna go to 

A different land

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

GOOD FORTUNE

 

Threw my bad fortune

Of the top of

A tall building

I'd rather have done it with you

Your boy's smile

Five in the morning

Looked into your eyes

And I was really in love

 

In Chinatown

Hung over

You showed me

Just what I could do

Talking about

Time travel
And the meaning

Just what it was worth

 

And I feel like

Some bird of paradise

My bad fortune slipping away

And I feel the

Innocence of a child

Everybody's got something good to say

 

Things I once thought

Unbelievable

In my life

Have all taken place

When we walked through

Little Italy

I saw my reflection

Come right of your face

 

I paint pictures

To remember

You're too beautiful 

To put into words

Like a gypsy

You dance in circles

All around me

And all over the world

 

And I feel like

Some bird of paradise

My bad fortune slipping away

And I feel the

Innocence of a child

Everybody's got something good to say

 

So I take my

Good fortune

And I fantasize

Of our leaving

Like some modern-day 

Gypsy landslide

Like some modern day 

Bonnie and Clyde

 

On the run again

On the run again

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A PLACE CALLED HOME

 

One day I know

We'll find a place of hope

Just hold on to me

Just hold on to me

Walk tight, one line

You're wanted this time

There's no one to blame

Just hold on to me

 

(Come on my love)

And I'm right on time

And the birds keep singing

And you're right on line

And the bells keep ringing

And the battle is won

And the planes keep winging

And I'm right on time

And the girl keeps singing

 

One day they'll be a place for us

 

I walk and I wade 

Through full lands and lonely

I stumble, I stumble

With you I wait

To be born again

With love comes the day

Just hold on to me

 

(Come on my love)

And I'm right on time

And the birds keep singing

And you're right on line

And the bells keep ringing

 

One day they'll be a place for us

 

And the battle is won

And the planes keep winging

And I'm right on time

And the girl keeps singing

 

One day they'll be a place for us

 

Now is the time

To follow through

To read the signs

Now the message sent

Let's bring it to it's final end

 

And I'm right on time

And the birds keep singing

And you're right on line

And the bells keep ringing

One day they'll be a place for us

And the battle is won

And the planes keep winging

And I'm right on time

And the girl keeps singing

One day they'll be a place for us

 

One day

Know

They'll be

A place

Called

Home

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ONE LINE

 

Do you remember the first kiss?

Star shooting across the sky

To come to such a place as this

You never left my mind

 

I'm watching from the wall

As in the streets we fight

This world all gone to war

All I need is you tonight

 

And I draw a line

To your heart today

To heart from mine

A line to keep us safe

 

All through the rising sun

All through the circling years

You were the only one

Who could have brought me here

 

And I draw a line

To your heart today

To heart from mine

A line to keep us safe

And I draw a line

To your heart today

To heart from mine

And pray to keep us safe

 

Watch the stars now moving

Across the sky

Keep this feeling

Safe tonight

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

BEAUTIFUL FEELING

 

Sometimes I can see for miles

Through water and fire

From England to America

I feel life meet my eyes

 

And it's the best thing

It's the best thing

It's the best thing

A beautiful feeling

 

A smile from San Diego

He's still a boy

Two ends to every rainbow

And a train from Mexico

 

And he's the best thing

He is the best thing

He is the best thing

A beautiful feeling

 

And when I watch you move

And I can't think straight

And I am silenced

And I can't think straight

 

And it's the best thing

It's the best thing

The best thing

Such a beautiful feeling

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

THE WHORES HUSTLE AND THE HUSTLERS WHORE

 

Speak to me of

Universal laws

The whores hustle and the hustlers whore

All around me

People bleed

Speak to me

Your song of greed

 

Speak to me

Of you inner charm

Of how you'll keep me 

Safe from harm

I don't think so

I don't see 

Speak to me

Of your inner peace

 

Little people

At the amusement park

City people

In the dark

Speak to us

Send us a sign

Just give us something

To keep us trying

 

The whores hustle and the hustlers whore

Too many people out of love

The whores hustle and the hustlers whore

The city's ripped right to the core

 

Speak to me

Of heroin and speed

Genocide and suicide

Of syphilis and greed

Speak to me

The language of love

The language of violence

The language of the heart

 

This isn't the first time

I've asked for money or love

Heaven and earth 

Don't ever mean enough

Speak to me 

Of heroin and speed

Just give me something

I can believe

 

The whores hustle and the hustlers whore

Too many people out of love

The whores hustle and the hustlers whore

The city's ripped right to the core

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

THE MESS WE'RE IN

 

Can you hear them?

The helicopters?

I'm in New York

No need for words now

We sit in silence

You look me in the eye directly

You met me

I think it's Wednesday

The evening, the mess we're in

 

The city sun sets over me

The city sun sets over me

 

Night and day

I dream of

Making love to you now baby

Love making on screen

Impossible dream

And I have seen

The sunrise over the river

The freeway, reminding of

This mess we're in

 

The city sun sets over me

The city sun sets over me

 

What were you wanting?

I just want to say

Don't ever change

And thank you

I don't think we will meet again

I really must leave now

Before the sunrise

Above skyscrapers

The sin and

This mess we're in

 

The city sun sets over me

The city sun sets over me

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

YOU SAID SOMETHING

 

On a rooftop in Brooklyn

At one in the morning

Watching the lights flash

In Manhattan

I see five bridges

The Empire State Building

And you said something

That I've never forgotten

 

We lean against railings

Describing the colours

And the smells of our homelands

Acting like lovers

How did we get here?

To this point of living?

I held my breath

And you said something

 

And I'm doing nothing wrong

Riding in your car

The radio playing

We sing up to the eighth floor

A rooftop, Manhattan

At one in the morning

And you said something

That I've never forgotten

 

You said something

You said something

You said something

That was really important

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

KAMIKAZE

 

How could that happen?

How could that happen again?

Where the fuck was I looking

When all his horses came in?

And he built an army

Of kamikaze

 

Ten thousand willing

Pilots flying

Interfacing

Space and beyond

Built an army

To come and find me

 

Beyond all reason

Beyond all my hopes

The call of duty

Another war zone

(Makes me moan)

 

Kamikaze

Kamikaze

You can't touch me

Kamikaze

 

Eight miles high

He walks his path

And I follow mine

One truth for one eye 

He's come to find me

 

Ten thousand willing

Pilots flying

Interfacing

Space and beyond

Here is his army

Space and here we come

 

Kamikaze

Kamikaze

You don't touch me

Kamikaze

 

Kamikaze

You don't touch me

Kamikaze

You don't touch me

 

Space here we come

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

THIS IS LOVE

 

I can't believe that life's so complex

When I just want to sit here and watch you undress

I can't believe that life's so complex

When I just want to sit here and watch you undress

 

This is love, this is love

That I'm feeling

This is love, this is love

That I'm feeling

This is love

That I'm feeling

 

Does it have to be a life full of dread

I wanna chase you round the table, I wanna touch your head

Does it have to be a life full of dread

I wanna chase you round the table, I wanna touch your head

 

This is love, this is love

That I'm feeling

This is love, this is love

That I'm feeling

This is love

That I'm feeling

 

I can't believe that the axis turns on suffering

When you taste so good

I can't believe that the axis turns on suffering

When my head burns

 

Love, love, love

That I'm feeling

This is love, this is love

That I'm feeling

This is love, love, love

That I'm feeling

 

Even in the summer

Even in the spring

You can never get too much of

A wonderful thing

 

You're the only story that I never told

You're my dirty little secret, wanna keep you so

You're the only story that  never been told

You're my dirty little secret, wanna keep you so

 

Come on out, come on over, help me forget

Keep the walls from falling as they're tumbling in

Come on out, come on over, help me forget

Keep the walls from falling on me, tumbling in

Keep the walls from falling as they're tumbling in

 

This is love, this is love

That I'm feeling

This is love, this is love

That I'm feeling

This is love, this is love

That I'm feeling

This is love, love, love

That I'm feeling

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

HORSES IN MY DREAMS

 

Horses in my dreams

Like waves, like the sea

They pull out of here

They pull, they are free

 

Rode a horse round the world

Along the tracks of a train

Broke the record, found the gold

Set myself free again

 

I have pulled myself clear

I have pulled myself clear 

I have pulled myself clear

Silent, I have pulled myself clear

 

Horses in my dreams

Like waves, like the sea

On the tracks of a train

Set myself free again

 

I have pulled myself clear

I have pulled myself clear 

I have pulled myself clear

Silent, I have pulled myself clear

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

WE FLOAT

 

We wanted to find love

We wanted success

Until nothing was enough

Until my middle name was excess

 

Somehow I lost touch 

When you went out of sight

When you got lost into the city

Got lost into the night

 

I was in need of help

Heading to blackout

Till someone told me "run on in honey

Before somebody blows your goddamn brains out"

 

You shoplifted as a child

I had a model's smile

You carried all my hopes

Until something broke inside

But now

 

We float

Take life as it comes

We float

Take life as it comes

 

So will we die of shock?

Die without a trial?

Die on Good Friday?

While holding each other tight

 

This is kind of about you

This is kind of about me

We just kinda lost our way

We were looking to be free

But one day

 

We'll float

Take life as it comes

We'll float

Take life as it comes

 

But one day

We'll float

Take life as it comes

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

THIS WICKED TONGUE

 

This wicked tongue says

God is a million miles away

This wicked tongue says

He can't see my day to day

 

This wicked tongue says

Go on, taste everything

And this wicked tongue says

You know you're not really living

 

And it stares into the sun

And it flies from star to star

Cursing everyone

In my ringing ears

 

And the noise is as much as I can bear

And the noise is as much as I can bear

And the noise is as much as I can bear

And the noise is as much as I can bear

 

So I asked her where's the heart?

In the rubbish heap of man

So I asked her where's the soul?

And the silence rang and rang and rang and rang and rang

 

So I stare into the sun

And I fly from star to star

Cursing everyone

In my ringing ears

 

And the noise is as much as I can bear

And the noise is as much as I can bear

And the noise is as much as I can bear

And the noise is as much as I can bear

 

"I give up" he said

"I give up you win"

"Creation baby has failed again"

"I give up" he said

"I give up you win"

"Creation baby has failed again"

"Creation baby has failed again"

"Creation baby has failed again"

"Creation baby has failed again"
