We see the shadows that are falling from your eyes,
Draining your face of everything but the disguise,
Don't hide baby, let them see your true colours,
Don't mind the camera, let them see your back out tonight.
Don't hide baby, show them just how deep it goes,
Don't mind the cameras, let them see your black heart baby!
You've been perfect from the start,
They told me that time has only done you wrong.
[Chorus]
We are going to a different place,
We're taking everything we can,
There's no expression left upon our face,
'Cause time is running out so fast,
We're sinking in the sand.
You've been talking from the heart,
Saying that I can't be away from life.
[Chorus]
We're sinking in the sand.
We're sinking in the sand.
I was running out in the cold light
Wondering where to go
To run away
Without you
All my fear is coming home
And it's ripped out from the soul
You can't be me
I will become you (tonight)
I was wandering under black skies
Clutching at what is mine
No control
Left to lose
Well, I thought that it wouldn't faze me
But I'm hiding like a child
I feel so guilty
I'll make it up to you (tonight)
Visions I've been dreaming are coming down
They're changing my future
Visions I had buried underground
Returning to abuse us
I was breaking out of my own skin
Choking up on release
I'm in no state
To judge you
Scratching itches best left alone
Chasing memories I used to own
I can't wait until this is over (tonight)
Visions I've been dreaming are coming down
They're changing my future
Visions I had buried underground
Returning to abuse us
Well, the nightmares I've been having have arrived
They're changing my future
The signs of my creation at my door
How could you do this to her?
Manipulation doesn't shape me,
And I am just feeling the part took out.
And even though this curse restrains me,
I got so many things to yell about.
Well I could fight this,
But I may die.
And all I want is be the apple in your eye.
Well I could stay here,
Strap on my face.
Listen to the words that put me in my place.
[Instrumental]
I have seen a transition
And you wondered what I'm gonna do about it.
You thought that my eyes were behind my back
Though that I didn't want to but as you see,
Throw it away!
'Cos I got the patience,
To see that you drown.
To watch you go down.
Throw it away!
'Cos I got the patience,
To see that you drown.
To watch you go down.
[Instrumental]
I am the reality you wish you had
I war against your constant re-emulation
All that I strive for is to believe in you
Words that hold I true
Throw it away!
'Cos I got the patience,
To see that you drown.
To watch you go down.
Throw it away!
'Cos I got the patience,
To see that you drown.
To watch you go down.
There were hard times ahead for the people of planet Ventura,
Staring into the networks of space and time,
Their eyes were open,
But still, they were blind,
I wandered through the weird and lurid landscape of another planet
Suddenly there was a change
Their eyes were open,
But still, they were blind...
Can I have this dance my you're looking pretty
Is there something wrong did he leave you hurting
I don't mean to pry but that tear in your eye gave you away
If you don't want to talk we'll keep it quiet
But sometimes a heartache hurts worse if you hide it
I think there's a chance one slow dance might ease the pain
You have the right to remain silent
Anything that you say as I hold you against me
Will forever be a secret between us two
I've been wanting you but you didn't know it
And now that he's gone at last I can show it
If your heart is tired for the rest of your life
Lay your love on me
So many times my eyes have held you
Tonight please give my arms that chance
If you don't feel the need for conversation
We'll just let our hearts talk while we dance
You have the right to remain silent
Anything that you say as I hold you against me
Will forever be a secret between us two
I've been wanting you but you didn't know it
You look just like her
But you don't fool me
'Cause I know her sweet love
Was more than a dream
How did I miss it when you took her place
There's not a trace of her love on your face
So please tell me who are you
And where is the girl I knew
She said her love was true
You're breaking my heart
Something she'd never do
Who are you
Go back where you came from
And send her back here
Use the same magic
That made her disappear
I want the girl who thought I hung the moon
The last thing I want is some stranger saying we're through
So please tell me who are you
And where is the girl I knew
She said her love was true
You're saying goodbye
Something she'd never do
Who are you
He spent his days with horses
And his nights with Rosalee
He spent his pay on whiskey
That was made in Tennessee
As I was growing up
He spent a lot of time with me
When I'd ask him about women
He'd just grin
He said son I know horses
Like the back of my hand
He said some were born to run
Some will stomp you just for fun
And some have got the devil in their eyes
There's some that you can trust
Some will leave you in the dust
And the wild ones will shake you up inside
But you'll always remember the ride
Like him I rode some horses
Some were fast and some were slow
I've known my share of women
I've seen 'em come
I've seen 'em go
The horses I could handle
But the women got me thrown
Now I smile when I remember that old man
Because he knew more than horses
Like the back of his hand
He said some were born to run
Some will stomp you just for fun
And some have got the devil in their eyes
There's some that you can trust
Some will leave you in the dust
And the wild ones will shake you up inside
I told my boss where to get off two months ago today
Now the bills are pilling high and they're hauling things away
They took the living room sofa the kool-aid stains and all
Now my butts down on a hardwood floor and my back's against the wall
One more repossession and I'll be out of debt
But what good is a VCR without a TV set
It's less and less depressing before they come again
One more repossession and I'll be out of debt
Last night I turned in early 'cause they turned off lights
The repo man took my truck in the middle of the night
Things are gone to pieces you know the times are hard
When you have to use your Visa just to pay your Mastercard
One more repossession and I'll be out of debt
But what good is a VCR without a TV set
It's less and less depressing before they come again
One more repossession and I'll be out of debt
It's getting less and less depressing before they come again
Can I come to your party
I won't get in your way
I'll stand there in the corner
With not too much to say
Except what you have heard by now
At least a million times
It's up to you
It's up to you
I've done all I can do
It's up to you
I've been your ivory tower
It's hard to read your mind
The letters and the flowers
They're just my way to try
They can't express how much I miss
And wait for your reply
It's up to you
It's up to you
I've done all I can do
It's up to you
Go search forever if you need the time
I know someday you're gonna see the light
I know it's right
Someday you'll know your only love
Has been here all the time
