wake up demonstrations
said silence is the wrong word
i'm gonna keep the names
that i use for myself to myself
a summer sun is shining
what will it be tomorrow?
i want to watch the world
from the edge of my seat
when it burns
seventeen can't be wrong
seventeen cannot see
i can't believe
it's been so long
seventeen follow me
i want to walk the outside
they're burning down the houses
i'm gonna keep my eyes
on the ground
when i walk where i walk
i can't believe
it's been so long
can't believe i can't see
seventeen can't be wrong
seventeen fall on me
never stop never mind
can't get good times
summer day sunshine
feels like anodyne
phone jams gridlock
standing at the bus stop
ten'o clock tick-tock
look at what the world's got
please her please me
gonna make a big scene
here comes faith comes
banging on a tin drum
don't try you can't fail
can't win you can't play
ten'o clock tick-tock
look at what the world's got
what if i lie to myself?
i bit off more than i tell
what if the grass
stops growing green
superman, where have you been?
i don't want your
talk talk talk long
give it time give it time give it up
i don't want your
talk talk talk
won't give it time give it time give it up
i see your lines
they show your age
this day's not kind
to your face
get off my bed
put on your shoes
the world won't
turn around you
i don't want your
talk talk talk
won't give it time give it time give it up
i don't want your
talk talk talk
won't give it time give it time give it up
speak to the answer phone again
don't tell me i'm alone again
don't tell me god has gone
when i turn on the radio
i speak to the answer phone again
i don't want your
talk talk talk
won't give it time give it time give it up
i don't want your
talk talk talk
won't give it time give it time give it up
don't mirror me if i can't stand
or walk as tall as you can
hey superman
where did you go
now that the lights have gone low
cars move slowly down
where you walk
and the cool blue cars
where the world gets old
and i hear their lies
blowing through my teeth
and at my back
i can feel you breathe
talk is cheap like
when money talks
and you sound too much
like you've seen it all
and i fall down drunk
with my eyes so tired
on my clean white sheets
and my eyes go blind
and i hurt to be you
and i hurt to be you
there for no one
there for change
no good reason
no one came
half a life
cars move slowly down
where you walk
and the cool blue cars
where the world gets old
and i hear their lies
blowing through my teeth
and at my back
i can feel you breathe
and i hurt to be you
and i hurt to be you
there for no one
there for change
no good reason
no one came
half a life
i've got to get this crossword done
of everything you've said
all the one way conversations
words that i forget
and it would be so easy to see
if i could be there now
i've got to write this postcard
from the place i'm standing in
but there's no signs anywhere
i can't find anything
it would be so easy to see
if i could be there now
right now right now right now
i've got to paint a picture
paint a picture of your face
but it could be anyone
and who cares anyway
it would be so easy to see
if i could be there now
right now right now right now
there's no disturbance
not a noise moves anything
five hundred voices
and i can't hear anyone
faces i can't recall
with names that i can't forget
there's no hands turning
to tell me the time right now
right now right now right now
watch out sweet thing
a change in the weather
is all that you bring
look up the weather's strange
the only thing we know
that's gonna come for sure is change
look at my life go round and round
hands on the clock still turning
now i want it but i just can't see
i want that and that's just like me
goodbye, bye kids
where you gonna run
from the things you keep hid
look out the weather's strange
the only thing we know
that's gonna stay the same is change
look at my life go round and round
hands on the clock still turning
now i want it but i just can't see
i want that and that's just like me
you know it's me
that picks you up
you know it's me
that puts you down
watch out sweet thing
a change in the weather
is all that you bring
look up the weather's strange
the only thing we know
that's gonna stay the same is change
look at my life go round and round
hands on the clock still turning
now i want it but i just can't see
i want that and that's just like me
you know it's me

tv talkshows shining light
from every window
she pulls a dress on
and she who cares where she goes
and wake up, wake up
here's another day
and wake up, wake up
it's time your wide awake
and don't make promises
that don't mean anything
and wake up, wake up
wake up, wake up
it's light out honestly
it's time you're wide awake
go where the party goes
dressed up in shiny clothes
we drink the water
and it tastes like medicine
and wake up, wake up
here's another day
and wake up, wake up
it's time your wide awake
and don't make promises
that don't mean anything
watch the day go round
and wake up, wake up
watch the sun go down
with all the animals
i watch the river run
and wake up, wake up
wake up, wake up
wake up, wake up
jeannie talks too much
to all the animals
i hear a mad dog bark
she'll tell you what it said
watch the day go round
and wake up, wake up
watch the sun go down
with all the animals
i watch the river run
and wake up, wake up
wake up, wake up
wake up, wake up
there's too much
that i keep to myself
and i turn my back on my faith
it's like glass
when we break
i wish no one in my place
and i've seen
you don't need their seeds
when their dirt goes in deep
and i'm lost in sleep
i can't stay
in this place
i can't stand
when the room turns round
on my fate
you give no guarantees
there's no promise
i can keep
i can't stand
i can't see my way
i feel blind
on my feet
i can't stay too long
am i wrong?
goodbye, lay the blame on luck
goodbye, lay the blame on luck
goodbye, lay the blame on luck
goodbye, lay the blame on luck
goodbye, lay the blame on luck
goodbye, lay the blame on luck
i'm so tired
of my mood
and sleep comes
with a knife, fork and a spoon
you're so pale
in your face
you let life
get in your way
and i've seen
you don't need their seeds
when their dirt goes in deep
and i'm lost in sleep
am i wrong?
goodbye, lay the blame on luck
goodbye, lay the blame on luck
goodbye, lay the blame on luck
goodbye, lay the blame on luck
green is a place
i want to see
before i'm gone
the sky in the trees
wilder than bloom
older than me
i'll be waiting
follow me
i'll be waiting
where the rain
can't fall on me
i'll be waiting
these city nights
all of my days
wrote on my face
faces i know
all of them gone
older than you
i'll be waiting
follow me
i'll be waiting
where the rain
can't fall on me
i'll be waiting
summer has gone
where did they go?
what have i done?

there's too much murder
ghost in my mouth
and it's talking too much
and i can't keep my head straight
there's crowds on the sidewalk
it's making my head hurt
and where did the sun go?
and don't ask me
i don't know
don't get closer
don't move
don't ask why
i get two steps closer
don't move
don't ask why
i go through changes
all my friends are strangers
i see them get small
and their name on their ties
and there's so much is ugly
it's so far that i see
i can't see myself without
closing my eyes
i get two steps closer
don't move
don't ask why
i get two steps closer
don't move
don't ask why
you said you've got
more than i want
and time in itself is blind
and you said you've got
more than i want
and time in itself is blind
and i know why they lie
time in itself is blind
time in itself is
you said you've got
more than i want
and time in itself is blind
and you said you've got
more than i want
and time in itself is blind
and i know why they lie
time in itself is blind
time in itself is blind
time in itself is blind
time in itself is
the whole world is broken
i'm born in a hole
and the summer is gone
when it all falls to pieces
i'm going back home
with my head on the ground
he said "where did the sun go?"
and i said "i don't know"
but don't get closer
don't move
don't ask why
i get two steps closer
don't move
don't ask why
it's raining
in saint mary's gate
watch the dirt
from the dirty street
pour down and make it clean
dirty water
do like we all do
see what you want to
lay your head down
sweet smile
who's got what god is on?
who turned the lights out on
all i wanted
all i wanted
from where the mountains stand down
down to the ocean strand
all i wanted
all i wanted
i've been thinking
i talk to myself
and we talk while the oceans rise
out of a dirty sky
nail the door shut
do like we all do
say what you want to
move your mouth
speak soft lies
who's got what god is on?
who turned the lights out on
all i wanted
all i wanted
from where the mountains stand down
down to the ocean strand
all i wanted
all i wanted
i'm standing
in a summer day
raise my hand
wave goodbye
who's got what god is on?
who turned the lights out on
all i wanted
all i wanted
from where the mountains stand down
down to the ocean strand
all i wanted
all i wanted
we fall
all the way
all the way
we fall
all the way
i want more
than i thought i'd own
i want order in my mind
i want more i want more
than i thought i'd own
i want hands to wave goodbye
i want more
take the river down to
where the sea comes in
i give up all i've got
well almost anything
i wanted reason
i've got a reason now
i want more
than i thought i'd own
i want order in my life
i want more i want more
than i thought i'd own
i want hands to wave goodbye
i want more
take the river down to
where the children sing
i'll give up all i've got
well almost anything
i wanted reason

it's hard to be
all you want from me
it's hard to be
all she wants
is a good time
it's hard to see
what you want to be
it's hard to see
all she wants
is a good time
all she wants
i see your jealousy
shining in all of their eyes
and there's really no comfort there
nowhere to hide
and it's hard to be
all that you want me to be
there's a part of me
waiting for people to rise
all she wants is a good time
all she wants is a good time
all she wants is a good time
all she wants is a good time
