Lost in the Milky Way
Smile at the empty sky and wait for
The moment a million chances
They all collide
I'll be the guiding light
Swim to me through stars that
Shine down
And call to the sleeping world
As they fall to Earth

So heres your life (heres your life)
We'll find a way
We're sailing blind
We're certain, nothing's certain

I don't mind
I get the the feeling
you'll be fine
I still believe
That in this world
We've got to find the time
For the life of Riley

Form cradles and sleepless nights
You breathe in life forever
And stare at the world from
Deep under eiderdown

So here's your life (heres your life)
We'll find a way
We're sailing blind
We're certain, nothing's certain

I don't mind
I get the the feeling
you'll be fine
I still believe
That in this world
We've got to find the time
For the first time
I don't mind
I get the the feeling
you'll be fine
I still believe
That in this world
We've got to find the time
For the life of Riley

All this worlds is a crazy ride
Just take your seat and hold on tight

So here's your life (heres your life)
We'll find a way
We're sailing blind
We're certain, nothing's certain

I don't mind
I get the the feeling
you'll be fine
I still believe
That in this world
We've got to find the time
For the first time
I don't mind
I get the the feeling
you'll be fine
I still believe
That in this world
We've got to find the time
For the life of Riley.

I'm flying high on something beautiful and aimless,
it's got a name but I prefer to call it nameless.
It comes and goes leaves me on a bed of splinters,
feels like I'm living in a town closed down for winter.

The taste of Love,
the more you get, the more you want,
and all because,
the only reason is just because.
It all makes Sense,
when you're near
it all makes Sense.

I'm standing high on tiptoes looking over fences,
waiting for somebody like you to kiss me Senseless.
I've had a bellyfull of faces drawn in sadness,
I want to jump deep into tides of loving madness.


. . .



A whole night...
of talking in circles,
searching for the reasons to save us,
and keep it all painless.

All the lies you've had to swallow,
just to face the World tomorrow...

Blowing bubbles it's the final straw,
they never last too long but for a moment
there's perfection floating through an open door,
but if you try to hold it
then it turns to nothing.

Your whole world...
can turn on a moment,
some things can come back and haunt you,
but they're too late to warn you.

Drinking in the dead of night,
tobacco clouds that sting your eyes,
you've locked your feelings deep inside,
growing pains that never die.
You need to sweep the picture clean,
and start to dream another dream,
and end this this foggy yesterday that
still reminds you...

All the lies you've had to swallow,
just to face the World tomorrow...


. . .


Night time slows,
raindrops splash rainbows
perhaps someone you know,
could sparkle and shine
as daydreams slide to colour from shadow
picture the moonglow, that dazzles my eyes
and i love you...

just lying smiling in the dark,
shooting stars around my heart
dreams come bouncing in your head
pure and simple every time
now you're crying in your sleep,
i wish you'd never learnt to weep
don't sell the dreams you should be keeping
pure and simple every time

dream of sights, of sleigh rides in seasons
where feelings not reasons,
can make you decide
as leaves pur down, splash
autumn on gardens
as colder nights harden, their moonlit delights,
and i love you...

just lying smiling in the dark
shooting stars around your heart
dreams come bouncing in your head
pure and simple every time
now you're crying in your sleep,
i wish you'd never learnt to weep
don't sell the dreams you should be keeping,
pure and simple every time
look at me with starry eyes
push me up to starry skies
there's stardust in my head
pure and simple every time
frsh and deep as oceans new,
shiver at the sight of you
i'll sing a softer tune
pure and simple over you...

if lvoes the truth then look no lies
and let me swim around your eyes
i've found a place i'll never leave,
shut my mouth and just believe
love is the truth i realise
not a stream of pretty lies,
to use us up and waste our time...

He is coming down
With some kind of cold
She's running around
He's feeling old, he needs the rest
But she wants more
And then he blows like a hurricane
And tears pour out and fall like rain

But she'll keep holding on
'Cos it's all that she wants
And she's dreaming sweet dreams tonight
And with a smile that says
For him she's heaven sent
She's dreaming sweet dreams tonight

Like a wagonwheel, that's how you make me feel
You spin me round, you think I'm just your clown

She is going down
Down to the other side of town
With open eyes that see the truth
But can't see more
'Cos he might blow like a hurricane (like a hurricane)
Then tears pour out and fall like rain

Oh, you, you, you've got your hooks in me
But oh, I never want for you to set me free
Just keep a hold on me


. . .



You can't ignore or hide away
Can't escape from the things that line our way
Take it, leave it, or break it
Anyway, you can't get back to yesterday

All I want, all I want to do
You better listen from now on
Stop what's going on, stop what's going wrong
You better listen from now on

Confidence, coincidence, call it a sin
It's just like people say
Tomorrow's here so open up you're eyes
Never hesitate

It makes me want to give you everything
Pick you up and take you home again
Hold you tight and think that now is then
All I want to do

All I want to do
Is make you listen from now on
Cardboard men are strong, but paper can be torn
Oh, you better listen from now on


. . .



The voice of reason
is rhyming with treason today.
The laughing devil
is chasing the angels away.

The dog is barking,
the baby's crying,
the rainy days are multiplying,
she says it's time to make decisions,
then turns on breakfast television.

Life's a trial,
but who did you leave behind,
when a small slice of Heaven's all,
you could ever hope to find.

[But] the opera isn't over
until the fat lady sings,
[then] she walks into town
and pawns her eternity ring.

She's leaving home
with a dream in her pocket,
and a photograph in a silver locket.
The party's over, she aint stopping,
she's sick of lying, through with crying.

Life's a trial,
but who did you leave behind,
when a small slice of Heaven's all,
you could ever hope to find.

She's leaving home
with a dream in her pockets,
and a photograph in a silver locket.
The sky is open, the clouds are fading,
and that small slice of heaven's waiting...


. . .



Gone but not forgotten
Never mind how we spent our time
The hours were never lost on you
A mystery is what you are to me
Hold me tight for a million years
Your blood's in mine, it's like holy wine
Lost inside those big brown eyes
Your lips touch mine and my eyes go blind

Reaching out
Skin touch skin
Reaching out
My ups came down to the love explosion
A mission of sin
Reaching out
My ups came down to the love explosion

A smile for the moments
That made me hold my breath, made me tell myself
The hours were never lost on you
A mystery is what you are to me


. . .



Hold tight, all night
And don't let go
My head's light, my hands are tied
I won't let go
Tonight, crystal lights surround me
Like stars that pour in a waterfall
As love comes down

I found rainbows, where you go I go
I'm stuck on you, I'm stuck like glue
From kisses to blows, in our eyes it shows

Pleasure meets paradise
And it won't let go
So nice, butterflies
Don't let go
Tonight, no thunder clouds in my skies
In silver chains, the summer rain comes pouring down

Here it comes, here it comes again (here it comes)
I remember now, and then
It's like a long-lost friend, here it comes again

It's alright, I know I'm right
Don't let go
Hold your breath, and don't forget
Don't let go


. . .



I never meant to make you cry
A fool I was, I never meant to say goodbye
Can't you feel the pressure drop?
Can't you feel the pressure's off?
Heaven's here in front of me
I can't breath and I can't see
Baby, I never realized.....

As the days and the nights roll on
I've prayed for this moment since the day I was born
Nut, oh god, baby I never realized
the joy 'till the joy was gone

I know I'm wrong, I know I was so blind
But worst of all, I saw the tears, I saw you cry
Can't you feel the pressure drop?
Can't you see the pressure's off?
Heaven's here in front of me
I can't breath and I can't speak
Baby I never realized.....

And you can build walls to surround you
But I'll tear down this world 'till I've found you
You're the treasure, believe me, I need you
Come home.....

As the days and the nights roll on
I've prayed for this moment since the day I was born
Nut, oh god, baby I never realized
the joy 'till the joy was gone
And as time rolls on
I've been fighting since the day I was born
But, oh god, baby I never realized
The joy 'til the joy was gone
Hold on, hold on, hold on


. . .



The honey taste still hangs on my tongue
There's so many things to tell you
But now you're gone, now you're gone

The price of the words I could never say
Was the tears washed the loved away
Please, please, come back to me
The price as the smiles and the kisses fade
Was the hopes and the memories stayed
Please, please come back to me

As I search to find the reasons to bring you home
The only words I can find to tell you are 'I was wrong'

The price of the words I could never say
Was the tears washed the loved away
Please, please, come back to me
The price as the smiles and the kisses fade
Was the hopes and the memories stayed
Please, please come back to me

Maybe today, or maybe tomorrow
I'll have to beg you to stay
I'll be your candle
I'll show you the way
If I could find the words to bring you back to me


. . .



I'm not seeing very clearly
because I'm lost in my depression,
and I'm running after something,
but it's in the wrong direction.

If it's just a lie tell your friends,
don't make it complicated,
shake your fists at everyone,
and never mind tomorrow.

And you're happy,
when you taste the summer madness,
and run until you're breathless,
and jump into the blackness.

Who was the fool,
Who was that fool,
who told you it's a cool place,
such a cool place.

Come on, come on,
tell me you're right,
make me believe,
and tell me what it feels like,
when you've fallen to the bottom,
well I don't think it's over,
the Devil's on your shoulder.


. . .



Hollow people rattle when you shake them,
precious things just shatter when you break them.

Dreamers don't believe in explanation,
songbirds don't explain their intonation.

A little rain may fall around you,
life and all its turns astound you,
how you felt when love first found you,
how you love to see the blue sky,
and to reason why...

I can't help believin',
in this perfect feelin'.
Like a dizzy fairground ride,
senses come alive,
and I'm happy!

Melodies collide with situation,
ecstasy defines its invitation.

Sweeter that a fulfilled promise,
beautiful and always honest,
how you feel when love surrounds you,
how you love to look in her eyes,
somethin' never dies...


. . .


The Tingle as you spin that web of lies,
leads to a tangle that hurts the more you try.
Fighting in the bathroom,
holding back the tears can make you blind.
Screaming at the new moon,
to swallow up the sky.
Only time can melt the ice-cream clown,
and frozen tears come rolling down...
The tingle as you first look in those eyes,
leads to a tangle of paper chains for life.
Now,
do you feel the same way too?
After all this time,
could you feel the same way too?
Could you?
Only time can melt the ice-cream clown,
his frozen tears pour down.
I've had enough of paper lies,
a giant breath can blow the whole world down.

. . .



The storms of life will pass away
As I walk beside my holy-of-holies
The northern lights that held my gaze
Were heaven in those helish days
And once, I longed to taste them all

God help them
When they find out
That's what life is all about

The words have died upon our lips
The winds have blown disaster upon us
All my life I've braved these thorns
And weathered out the blackest storms
But once, I long to taste them all

God help them
When they find out
That's what life is all about
And god help us
When we find out
That's what love is all about

Since that day, you're all I've prayed for
We're bought and paid for
But it's cost us both more.....


. . .



Bound in a nutshell
Lost in our weary eyes
We're tumbledown people
Leading our tumbledon lives
But a breath of life
Could make our engines roar

We're far from power, north of desire
High and dry, hoping you'll send us
From your mouth instead of lies
A kiss of life, for sleeping giants

Broken, bound, and battered
Freezing on picket lines
A colder frost can shatter
And chain us for all our lives
But a breath of life
Can make our engines roar

We're far from power, north of desire
Tired and bound by all those lies
As step by step, open tired eyes
A kiss of life, for sleeping giants

They spin our world from cruel to kind
And make our futures a downward slide
The strong get strong, and still want more
But day by day giants thaw

Tomorrow must be calling with a open door
There's no-one left to start our revolution anymore
We need some flames to burn down every door

We're far from power, north of desire
High and dry, hoping you'll send us
From your mouth instead of lies
A kiss of life, for sleeping giants
We're far from power, north of desire
Tired and bound by all those lies
As step by step, open tired eyes
A kiss of life, for sleeping giants


. . .



Down here at the bottom
When you're staring at the top
There's a head full of ideas
But I'm only flesh and blood

On an aiderdown of glory
And a pillow of desire
I'm drifting on an ocean
As the waves wash through my mind

Something haunts us, kicks the stars from our skies
Blows the lights out with a whisper and sighs
If you're down down I'm down down

Well I was nearly me and you were nearly you
The nearly man was nothing, he was never any use
Beaten down by generations, of generations beaten down
There's nothing I can promise that my conscience will allow


. . .



In all your life to treasure there,
the precious times,
and times when it's hard to care.

There's moments when
they touch you with that magic touch,
and you shine...

You've shed that skin; it's lying there.
Where are you now?
I hope it's heaven there.

They touch you with that magic touch,
and you shine...

Hold on tight,
and dry those eyes,
and never cry,
'cause in this world,
you're upside down,
when you first come round.

And in this world,
you're upside down,
when you first come round.

But even when Good seems Bad,
keep trying to understand,
that maybe if God's on hand,
you might make it...

And Oh,
I miss those days.

All I can say,
is I miss those days...
