False Goodbyes

Whisper who dares
Your daylight glows
I doubt that it shows me
Covered in glory

A problem shared
Is entertainment
In your hands
Aint life bland

What matter or
What consequence in truth
All our lives strange honor
In a realm of false goodbyes

Suspend belief
But keep it brief
Thereby hangs a tale friend
Hung from your wits end

And is that all
The level best
That you can do
More fool you

What matter or
What consequence in truth
All our lives strange honor
In a realm of false goodbyes

Such dedication in the plot
Such animation and for what
A pile of nothing life is not
And when the crowd come out to play
Ill read the lesson for today
About the one that got away

What matter or
What consequence in truth
All our lives strange honor
In a realm of false goodbyes

What matter or
What consequence in truth
All our lives strange honor
In a realm of false goodbyes

Everybody Knows


Everybody knows, how your garden grows
Everybody knows, how your garden grows
Everyone can see, Im blind as I can be
The woods look just like trees
Look like trees to me

And I dont even get it
I dont know what youre trying to say
Youre never gonna let me forget it
Its always gonna get in the way

Its moving much too fast
You know it aint gonna last
I think were heading for a crash
Heading for a crash

Its coming to a natural end
Im going round my last bend
Theres something you just cant mend
Things you just cant mend

I cant even remember
I dont know what the day is today
Youre putting the no in november
And taking all the bes out of may

Everybody knows, how your garden grows
Everybody knows, how your garden grows
Everyone can see, Im blind as I can be
The woods look just like trees
Look like trees to me

And I dont even get it
I dont know what youre trying to say
Youre never gonna let me forget it
Its always gonna get in the way

No time in the hourglass
Theres no more lies for you to tell
Your heaven is your hell

Evergreen

Fingers fit to burn

Keep the flame of your desire
Always rising higher
Aim for the stars and hit the sky

Evergreen
Ever, ever, evergreen
Evergreen
Ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah

Theres no more wishes in the well
No more dreams to sell
No time in the hourglass
Theres no more lies for you to tell
Your heaven is your hell
You future dying in the past

 Do It Clean

Ive got a handful of this
What do I do with it?
Ive got a barrel of this
What do I do with it?
I do it clean, I do it clean

Do it clean, do it clean
Know what I mean
Do it clean, do it clean
I know what I mean, I mean

Where am I going
Where have I been
Where are you going
Where have you been
Ive been here, Ive been there

Ive been here, there, everywhere
Here there nowhere
Iszy bitzy witzy itzy everywhere
Ive been here and Ive been there
Im clean

I had a handful of this
What did I do with it?
I had a barrel of this
What did I do with it?
I did it clean, I did it clean

Do it clean, do it clean
Know what I mean?
Do it clean, do it clean
I know what I mean

Cut & Dried

Youve seen enough
Youve been too much
Youve gone too far

And when thine lie offends
Thee prop against the bar
You ________ awkward stage
As you approach middle age
Hard to take
Hard to gauge

So goodbye cut and dry
Nice to have known you
But something went awry
And Ive outgrown you

I slither awhile
Before I shed my skin
And laugh when you said
There was no such thing as sin
No, no there is no greater me
The lad inspired by total greed
til it breaks
til it bleeds

So goodbye cut and dry
Nice to have known you
But something went awry
And Ive outgrown you

And all your confidence
Has gathered dust on shelves
And all those who lent an ear
Heard no good of themselves
No market here for sound advice
And those who seek must pay the price
Blood from stone
Blood of christ

So goodbye cut and dry
Nice to have known you
But something went awry
And Ive outgrown you

 Crocodiles

I read it in a magazine
I dont wanna see it again
I threw away the magazine
And looked for someone to explain
I dont wanna look back
I cant look around
I dont wanna see it coming round

Listen to the ups and downs
Listen to the sound they make
Dont be scared when it gets loud
When youre skin begins to shake
cause you dont wanna look back
You gotta look tall
You gotta see those creeps crawl

I know you know
I know you know

I can see youve got the blues
In your alligator shoes
Me, Im all smiles
I got my crocodiles
I dont wanna look back
I cant turn around
I dont want to see it coming down

Met someone just the other day
Said wait until tomorrow
I said, hey what you doing today
He said, Im going to do it tomorrow
Met someone just the other day
Said wait until tomorrow
I said, hey, what you doing today
Im going to do it tomorrow

Clay


Am I the half of half-and-half
Or am I the half thats whole?
Ive got to be one with all my halves
Its my worthy earthly goal
Its my worthy earthly goal
Its my worthy earthly goal

Are you the heavy half
Of the lighter me
Are you the ready part
Of the lighter me

When I came apart
I wasnt made of sand
When you fell apart
Clay crumbled in my hands
Long way a life load
Statues and haloes

Am I the half of half-and-half
Or am I the half thats whole
Am I the half thats whole
Am I the half thats whole

Are you the wrongful half
Of the rightful me
Are you the mongol half
Of the cerebral me

When I came apart
I wasnt made of sand
When you fell apart
Clay crumbled in my hands
When I came apart
I wasnt made of sand
When you fell apart
Clay crumbled in my hands

If we exercise just some control
When we exercise our sum control

Oh isnt it nice
When your heart is made out of ice
Oh isnt it nice
When your heart is made out of ice

Are you the heavy half
Of the lighter me
Are you the ready part
That has entered me

Am I the shall in po-ten-tial
Or am I the suck in cess
Pools of delusion
Deluge me
Am I the more or less
Am I the more or less
Am I the more or less

When I came apart
I wasnt made of sand
When you fell apart
Clay crumbled in my hands
When I came apart
I wasnt made of sand

When I was the cain
You were the abel
When I came apart
Clay crumbled in my hands

Burn For Me


Im water swim to me
Be my fire burn with me

One day, youll see
After the fall has fallen
One day, Ill be
The one your hearts still calling

Im air breathe with me
Be my prayer believe in me

One night, youll see
The moon and stars in motion
One night, your sea
Will melt into my ocean

Im water swim to me
Be my fire burn for me

Im going out

One day, youll see
After the fall has fallen
One day, Ill be
The one your hearts still calling

One night, youll see
The moon and stars in motion
One night, your sea
Will melt into my ocean

 Buried Alive


Buried alive
Person unknown
Dying inside
Half the way home
Somewhere under a delvaux moon
Childhoods end came too soon
Came too soon

Dont want to know when
Dont wanna know why
Dont wanna believe that life is just to die
You were the one who sang lullabies
Im still hangign out to dry, out to cry

Hey now, hey now
Dont you cry
Its just the dying of the light
Time to say our goodbyes
Ill look for you in that goodnight

Is anybody here?
I wanna go out, the way I came in
My flame blowing out
In the summer wind
Somewhere under a delvaux moon
Childhoods end came too soon
Came too soon

Hey now, hey now
Dont you cry
Its just the dying of the light
Time to say our goodbyes
Ill look for you in that goodnight

Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight

 Bombers Bay

The word went round
In no dream town
They shut us up
And the shutters down
The planes flew in
And laid the ground
We built upon
And spun around
Gods one miracle
Lost in circles

On the march
Berlin to bombers bay
Traveling dark
On the roads to mandalay

Cannon fire
Came to call
Stood us up
And watched us fall
The way we were
And now outworn
Our costumes changed
To uniforms
Black black days
Here to stay

On the march
Madrid to bombers bay
Traveling dark
On the road to mandalay

Pack up the troubles and youll all get by
Smile boys thats the style
Pack up your troubles and youll all get by
Smile

They give us hope
And teach us well
With magic moons
That cast a spell
And hypnotise
And draw us in
I believe
Im believing
Gods one miracle
Moves in circles

On the march
Berlin to bombers bay
Traveling dark
On the road

On the march
Berlin to bombers bay
Traveling dark
On the roads to mandalay

Black black days
Where the flying fishes play
Black black days
Where the flying fishes play
Black black days
Where the flying fishes play
Black black days
Where the flying fishes play...
