I used to think the darkness was a metaphor
With you beside me as I breathe
Then I guess I got what I was always asking for
I beg your leave
Cannot feel the floor
And all at once the night has crystallised into your face
Sorrow is an anger as I poke into the puddle
And I start to drink
The buildings in the distance with all their happy people
You would think
Now we're putting down in ink
And the camera records of its own accord
Message is sinking in, in, in
And in my way
I love the morning
I love the evening
I love the trees
That tap against the window
I love
I love the women
I love all the men
Who came to hear me say who I love
I love the river
Where we washed away
All the sins that I love
And I love the love
That I love to give away
Until I ended up with no one to love
"Wanna read back what he said there. I'm having a hard time reading it."
"Yeah, and he's trying to maintain log again or get logged again but he can't seem to get it. It's fluctuating a little bit. We're receiving ??? [0:21]."
"Try that."
"Did you see anything else that might, uh, shed some light on this?"
Once I kept my love in a drawer
And everything I saw was ugly and was poor
Once I slept in your bed
And everything you fed me was rotten and dead
The game never changes
The game never changes
Then I decided to break free
I wandered through temptation but you were still guiding me
Then I wanted to come back
And every crack I filled was void and black
The warming sun
Stabbed the endless fires
Liars and the frauds line up
We gotta keep this shine up
On our machine
I've seen devastation upon the 'morrow
Can't go forward, can't go back
Can't go anywhere at all
Once I kept my mind so pure
You told me how sick I was and that you had the cure
Once I slept in your arms
Praying all your prayers and singing all your psalms
The game never changes
The game never changes
The game never changes
Never changes
All my ordinary, orchestrated, belated
Temper tantrums that I threw
In the sun room
Where I found a hundred pounds of gold
And some photos of us in much happier times
Blimey, time has fled
I said I'm on my own
With some girls who just flew in to catch my show
You know there's nothing going on (going on, going on, going on)
The game never changes
For any of us, we are all busted
When I finally get you alone
Some phony alibi, you must try harder than that
And we've turned into cartoons
A pair of buffoons on long afternoons
Where we lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie
Lie lie lie lie lie
Lie lie lie lie
The game never changes
The game never changes
The game never changes
"Did you see anything else that might, uh, shed some light on this?"
They know how the forest grows
They know how the love just fades
They know how the sea rise up
They know how the dawn of man
They know the enchanted one
They know the golden bough
The infinite wait
The body of light
The minute of return
The way to start
They know the path they must follow
They know how the forest grows
They know how love just falls
They know the path they must follow
They know
They know
They know
They know
You can see what you want in my eyes
You can feel what you want in my arms
And you can take what you want from my song
You can do what you want from now on
The rain has stopped, the clouds are gone
But we are still waiting for the night to come
But then the night arrives with the moon on top
We are still waiting for the rain to stop
You can see what you want in my eyes
You can feel what you want in my arms
And you can take what you want from my song
You can do what you want from now on
The rain has stopped, the clouds are gone
But we are still waiting for the night to come
But then the night arrives with the moon on top
We are still waiting for the rain to stop
But we are still waiting for the night to come
And we are still waiting for the rain to stop
The law of the jungle
Jangles my nerve
And the curve of the earth
Makes me fall for all I'm worth
The sound of the moon
I can hear it from here
Pounding of my blood
Just behind my ear
We played for time
We were made to glow and fade
Decayed of love
I was dismayed with all I forgave you
Audience with the king
I stooped to plead my case
I say almost anything
But I can't look you in the face
Memories sustain
It gained in the cold light
Memory contained
That will never lose its bite
Parade yourself
In the shade where you got jaded
Decayed of love
I was payed out, I was layed out
We played for time
You were made to glow and fade
Decayed of love
I was dismayed with all I forgave you
We played for time
You were made to glow and fade
Decayed of love
I was dismayed with all I forgave you
"Anything. Anything. Better than anything you can get without a prescription. Anything. It's the best."
A shadow has fallen on your face
Though it's spring everything seems out of place
A stranger is reciting all your lines
A fool to misinterpret all your signs
The way I act is exactly never me
And my mind is blind you can kinda see
And I would levitate if you just gave me one good reason
And I would burrow deep into the earth to find your love
And I would mitigate the endless hatred that they grind on us
We could undergo a transformation
And I would levitate if you just gave me one good reason
And I would burrow deep into the earth to find your love
And I would mitigate the endless hatred that they grind on us
We could undergo a transformation
"Anything. Better than anything you can get without a prescription. Anything. It's the best."
In between the echoes of daylight
November novel blur and outline
You finish up things in no time
The lesson is learned online
I struggle to accepting it's over
I'm running for cover
Nothing to discover there
It's limited fanfare
So unaware
It's not fair enough I suppose
We're telling the story of Jonah
They only wanted him to do a phoner with the king of Ninevah
He saying lord you gotta be kidding
I mean I'll do your bidding
Any old day
But not there and not that way
I can't play, don't make me I say
But that night when he climbed in his bunk
Before the ship had sunk
He thunk he heard a great big storm (storm, storm, storm)
And he couldn't hide and couldn't ride the waves
So they threw him away to a watery grave (grave, grave, grave)
But now you swallow me only
Spat me out lonely
Rolled me out onto the hostile shore
I'm walking towards the walls
Where the red curtain falls
Upon the halls of the wickedest men
The wickedest men
Nothing to discover there
Spirit come and take me now
Spirit come and fill me now
Spirit come and take me now
Spirit come and fill me now
Spirit come and fill me now
