The light still in our eyes
We're leaving this old fairground behind
It's a dream that's growing cold
The circus never dies
The act forever haunts these skies
I know we cannot stay

Farewell to the fairground

COULD I SIT ALONE AND ASK ABOUT MY FUTURE?
WHEN YOU REPLIED I'D JUST TURN AWAY.
I SEARCHING THROUGH MY BOOKS TO TRY AND FIND SOME TRUTH;
PERHAPS DISGUISE IS A MYSTERIOUS WAY?
AND IF I MADE A PROMISE,
COULD I STAY BY YOUR SIDE?
WOULD YOU GUARANTEE MY SAFETY?
AND SAY THAT I'D BE ALRIGHT?

I was waiting in the back-seat of the car
When I knew I'd given up
Down one of the back-streets by the park
So sick of the taste of blood

I'm gonna write your girl a letter
It'll make everything better

I wish no harm to come of you
Split bottles in shopping aisles
Cold rain in front of you
On the inside

I wish no hurt to cover you
Magazine pictures of city-life
Wax smiles, vanilla cream,

All this trying to breathe
Is making me nervous
No I can't uncurl my toes
Is that part of your service?
You've hung up your four degrees
I hope they're making this worth it
'Cause I've had the fear a week
And I've been trying to shirk it

Slow
I'm gonna settle down slow
Down to the home of
Electric life and soul

Faith
In my hands a trait
But for the word I

You took the tunnel route home, you've never taken that way with me before.
Did you feel the need for change?
Apologies on your fingernails, love flickered in the city of lights,
Like good singers on radio waves

I don't need your tears
I don't want your love
I just gotta get home.

I can't think straight,
I've been thinking in love triangles,
and vicious circles,
is it the same as before?

And I said I could never lie to you,
but you know I always do,
is it the same as before?

I'm going to miss the way I missed you
But I'm okay if you're okay
I've been lonely when I'm with you
But now I'm lonely all the same
If you need to find yourself
In the arms of someone else
I wish you on your way

I felt loved last night for the first time in a long time
It feels like coming home to stay
Like falling in the sea when it's too hot in the sun
But made things so much worse today

I know you said you'll miss me
But I know that you won't
Because time is like a wave

I love the feeling when we lift up
watching the world so small below
i love the dreaming when i think of
the saftey in the clouds out my window
i wonder what keeps us so high up
could there be a love beneth these wings
if we suddenly fall should i scream out
or keep very quite and cling to my mouth as i'm crying

I love the feeling when we lift up
watching the world so small below
i love the dreaming when i think of
the saftey in the clouds out my window
i wonder what keeps us so high up
could there be a love beneth these wings
if we suddenly fall should i scream out
or keep very quite and cling to my mouth as i'm crying

You look from the roof to the smoke on good nights
Tall dreams at the beck of the stars seem alright
Your heart aglow
'Cause you know, you know
It was all raised up for your life
For your eyes
You live in the quiet that was sewn for good wives
Four kids with the cat, might as well be called five

[Verse 1]
You said your, your mind was changing
I wasn't listening up here in my daydream
My love is unchanging
I've just got problems that need rearranging

[Chorus]
I don't want to feel it all, but know what fuels it

IF YOU TELL ME TO JUMP THEN I'LL DIE.
IN MY DREAMS I'M THERE.
I ALWAYS HOPED THAT I'D LEARN HOW TO FLY.
IN MY DREAMS I'M THERE.

YOU CAN TIE MY HANDS TO THE WALLS,
BUT YOU CANT TIE MY DREAMS TO THIS PLACE.
I MIGHT FALL LIKE A ROCK FROM YOUR HEART,

Home is where you feel least away
Where the ache of loneliness stays
Just as dormant as a good dog

Away is when you feel less at home
Like a pebble violently thrown
By the hand of a sick child

THE LIGHT STILL IN OUR EYES,
WERE LEAVING THIS OLD FAIRGROUND BEHIND.
IT'S A DREAM THAT'S GROWING COLD.
THE CIRCUS NEVER DIES,
THE ACT FOREVER HAUNTS THESE SKIES.
I KNOW WE CANNOT STAY.

FAREWELL TO THE FAIRGROUND.

SO THIS MAY HURT A LITTLE.
BUT GIRL LOOK FROM YOUR WINDOW LATE TONIGHT.
YOU THINK MY HEART IS FROZEN
WILE YOURS IS SLOWLY GRIEVING.
YOU'LL SEE THE BOY YOU LOVED START BURNING IN THE SKY.

WE WERE A DOZEN TO THE PROJECT
WITH A GALAXY OF QUESTIONS.

Roll on out the grand parade
Send up all the fire and wings
The butcher here to gut the day
And spill out the sudden king
All the bravest boys, waiting for the world end
I never knew you all that well
Your rifle came before your name
Our mothers share a slice of hell

Darling, we're starting, she said
We go alive in a heartbeat
Waiting for something in my car
A little hope out of nothing
And through the hum on the line

She said I was a first time caller
But a long time listener

I saw a friend that i once knew at a funeral,
He took the time out to be seen.
His eyes kept glancing to the hour hand on the gold watch,
that he'd been given by a magazine.

He didn't cry when the priest gave the sermon,
Just pulled up the woolen collar on his fleece.
Crossed his arms, gave a sigh and checked the time again,

So if you go
And leave recklessly
We can only be me
We can only be me
That’s something I
Through the tons of my life
Never wanted to be
Never wanted to be

From the place that I stand
To the land that is openly free
Watching rivers run black
By the trees that are vacant to greed

Gotta give it up gotta get a second chance
Gotta give it up
Gotta get a second chance and

To the heat of a foreign sun
Warm my love safe in your arms
And the choirs of the air and sea
Spend your love to sail home to me

I saw her blue eyes candid in the headlight, she's got a new style
I saw her white smile digging in the goldmine, for a new life

Heaven wait
Is your light always on?
Through the ashen wake
I'll swim with the saved to your door

Heaven wait
Are you but a bruise on the sky?

I go out, right out
For a heart in a heartless town
I'd come unwind

And this love, my love
Isn't odd as I though it was
Am I no one, without someone to need me

You were writhing on the floor like a moth in molasses
Whoever taught you to move your body like that?
Goose pimples just vanished like some out of date acid
Whoever taught you to scream like that?

Rit.
Maybe someday I could move like you
Well I'm not looking for a holy ghost.

You took the tunnel route home,
You've never taken that way with me before,
Did you feel the need for change?
Apologies on your fingernails,
Love flickered in the city of lights,
Like good singers on radio waves

I don't need your tears,

She stares into the mirror, youth fading with the sun.
The hollows in her face like wishing wells.
Scarlet as a paper-cut, and jewelled as the Orion,
She'd never worn that jewellery as a girl.

She says 'the only thing I've ever found
That's greater than it always sounds.
Is love.'

I am the man who's always on the watch
Ever-listening, a god
The host in a rut
Dead in the hand before the wave has struck
The driftwood of love
A table for one
So kick me, come on
Kick me, come on

The city stays high, all night
Lit up and shivering
Like a pinball table of fireflies
An echo of home, on the edge of life
Shot through the veins of an angel
I'm a devil in exile

But if you have forgotten

You talked me to sleep last night
I hadn't felt that sad in years
Your eyes like glass mistakes
They moved me close to tears
You speak those favourite fables which I'm yet to live
And casually confirm my fears
That I've got nothing to give

Strangers

I pressed my ear to your chest
And heard something personal
A whisper that knew my name
Is this how your heart treats all strangers?
With love and affection
And I feel cold and empty

Counting down the days
But the rain won't leave my room
It's so heavy today promised to get away
But somehow we never do
And I know it won't change
Trying to clear my head
I don't wanna clear my love for you
And I see it falling that way

So tall, erase those worried eyes
Lay your trouble out beside me and sit
And so I'll sympathize
Leave it feeding there inside me

Oh take it out on me

I'm in love with the feeling

Hang me up on your wall above the coal fire
Keep your promises
Keep your promises
Hang me up on your wall you're such a cold liar
Do what your father says
What your father says
I still remember your voice it turns my blood cold
The kids are fast asleep

What if I were to disobey
And give you back the power,
Woudl I be punished like a child,
And left on my own?
Would you think me ungrateful,
And send me away,
If I couldn't make you happy?

'Don't lay a finger' I said
But he held her with five
Kissed the crest of her lips
And put his hand on her thigh
One million in a week
Or the girl is gonna go
'I'd kill you in a second'
He laughed 'Yeah, I know'

There goes our love again
Forgive my heart 2x
There goes our love again
Elate my heart and take the time
That's burning at the back of my mind
Cause I'm broken and blind
And holding up the jar of desire
There goes our love again

He said to lose my life or lose my love,
That's the nightmare I've been running from.
So let me hold you in my arms a while,
I was always careless as a child.
And there's a part of me that still believes,
My soul will soar above the trees.
But a desperate fear flows through my blood,
That our dead love's buried beneath the mud.

White Lies - To Lose My Life

He said to lose my life or lose my love,
That's the nightmare I've been running from.
So let me hold you in my arms a while,
I was always careless as a child.
And there's a part of me that still believes,

HE SAID TO LOSE MY LIFE OR LOSE MY LOVE,

THAT'S THE NIGHTMARE I'VE BEEN RUNNING FROM,

SO LET ME HOLD YOU IN MY ARMS A WHILE,

I WAS ALWAYS CARELESS AS A CHILD,

My love
Changes with the weather
And my heart
Red imitation leather

I'd give the world
But the world is never enough
For a girl

The market-place has nothing to sell
Left alone its awnings shiver
Wind whistles through the wood
Fish teeth snapping in a river
Peaks puncture the sky
Like a child's icy toes
Dipped in a stream
That a few of us know

Just give me a second darling
To clear my head
Just put down those scissors baby, on this single bed
The sand in the hourglass is running low
I came through thunder, the cold wind
The rain and the snow
To find you awake by your windowsill
A sight for sore eyes and a view to kill

Rain keeps coming down on our unhappy town
Grey it's bleak parade
Little drops of heaven's shade
Rain keeps coming down
On children in their paper crowns
Daylight torn away
Litter for the night to raid

I heard an angels voice,
Singing in quiet prayer.
It seemed to pull my heart
Slowly straight up the stairs.

I spent that night awake,
Though you lay fast asleep.
I saw a teardrop fall

I heard an angel's voice,
singing in quiet prayer
It seemed to pull my heart,
slowly straight up the stairs

I spent that night awake,
though you lay fast asleep,
I saw a teardrop fall,
