Bones, sinking like stones, all that we fought for

Homes, places we've grown, all of us are done for

And we live in a beautiful world

Yeah we do, yeah we do

We live in a beautiful world.

Bones, sinking like stones, all that we fought for

And homes, places we've grown, all of us are done for

And we live in a beautiful world

Yeah we do, yeah we do

We live in a beautiful world.

And we live in a beautiful world

Yeah we do, yeah we do

We live in a beautiful world.

Oh, all that I know, there's nothing here to run from

'Cause yeah, everybody here's got somebody to lean on.

So I look in your direction

But you pay me no attention, do you?

I know you don't listen to me

'Cause you say you see straight through me, don't you?

But on and on

From the moment I wake, to the moment I sleep

I'll be there by your side, just you try and stop me

I'll be waiting in line just to see if you care.

Oh, did you want me to change? Well, I changed for good

And I want you to know that you'll always get your way

I wanted to say...

Don't you shiver

Shiver

I sing it loud and clear

I'll always be waiting for you.

---

So you know how much I need you

But you never even see me, do you?

And is this my final chance of getting you?

But on and on

From the moment I wake, to the moment I sleep

I'll be there by your side, just you try and stop me

I'll be waiting in line just to see if you care, if you care.

Oh, did you want me to change? Well, I changed for good

And I want you to know that you'll always get your way

And I wanted to say...

Don't you shiver

Don't you shiver

I sing it loud and clear

I'll always be waiting for you.

---

Yeah, I'll always be waiting for you

Yeah, I'll always be waiting for you

Yeah, I'll always be waiting for you, for you

I will always be waiting

And it's you I see but you don't see me

And it's you I hear, so loud and so clear

I sing it loud and clear

And I'll always be waiting for you.

So I look in your direction

But you pay me no attention

And you know how much I need you

But you never even see me.

I awake to find no peace of mind

I said, "how do you live as a fugitive

Down here where I cannot see so clear

I said, what do I know

Show me the right way to go.

And the spies came out of the water

But you're feeling so bad 'cause you know

But the spies hide out in every corner

But you can’t touch them, no

'Cause they're all spies

They're all spies.

---

I awake to see that no one is free

We're all fugitives, look at the way we live

Down here, I cannot sleep from fear, no

I said, which way do I turn

Oh, I forget everything I learn.

And the spies came out of the water

But you're feeling so bad 'cause you know

That the spies hide out in every corner

But you can't touch them, no

'Cause they're all spies

They're all spies.

And if we don't hide here, they're gonna find us

And if we don't hide now, they're gonna catch us where we sleep

Ah, and if we don't hide here, they're gonna find us...

---

And the spies came out of the water

But you're feeling so good 'cause you know

That the spies hide out in every corner

They can't touch you, no

'Cause they're just spies

They're just spies.

Did I drive you away? I know what you'll say

You say, "Oh, sing one we know"

But I promise you this, I'll always look out for you

That's what I'll do.

I say, ooohh

I say, ooohh...

My heart is yours, it's you that I hold on to

Yeah, that's what I do

And I know I was wrong, but I won't let you down

Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, I will, yes I will.

I say oohhh

I cry oohhh...

Yeah I saw sparks, yeah I saw sparks

And I saw sparks, yeah I saw sparks

Sing it out

La, la, la, la, oh

La, la, la, la, oh

La, la, la, la, oh...

Look at the stars, look how they shine for you

And everything you do

Yeah, they were all yellow.

I came along, I wrote a song for you

And all the things you do

And it was called yellow.

So then I took my turn

Oh, what a thing to have done

And it was all yellow.

Your skin, oh yeah, your skin and bones

Turn into something beautiful

You know, you know I love you so

You know I love you so.

---

I swam across, I jumped across for you

Oh, what a thing to do

'Cause you were all yellow.

I drew a line, I drew a line for you

Oh, what a thing to do

And it was all yellow.

Your skin, oh yeah, your skin and bones

Turn into something beautiful

You know, for you I'd bleed myself dry

For you I'd bleed myself dry.

---

It's true, look how they shine for you

Look how they shine for you, look how they shine for

Look how they shine for you, look how they shine for you

Look how they shine.

Look at the stars, look how they shine for you

And all the things that you do...

Oh no, I see

A spider web is tangled up with me

And I lost my head

And thought of all the stupid things I'd said.

Oh no, what's this?

A spider web and I'm caught in the middle

So I turned to run

And thought of all the stupid things I'd done.

And I, I never meant to cause you trouble

And I, I never meant to do you wrong

And I, well if I ever caused you trouble

And oh no, I never meant to do you harm.

---

Oh no, I see

A spider web and it's me in the middle

So I twist and turn

But here am I in my little bubble.

Singing that I, I never meant to cause you trouble

And I, I never meant to do you wrong

And I, well if I ever caused you trouble

And oh no, I never meant to do you harm.

---

They spun a web for me

They spun a web for me

They spun a web for me...

In a haze, a stormy haze

I'll be round, I'll be loving you always, always

Here I am and I take my time

Here I am and I'll wait in line always, always.

Can anybody fly this thing

Before my head explodes or my head starts to ring

We've been living life inside a bubble

We've been living life inside a bubble.

Confidence in you, is confidence in me

Is confidence in high speed

Can anybody stop this thing

Before my head explodes, before my head starts to ring

We've been living life inside a bubble

We've been living life inside a bubble.

Confidence in you, is confidence in me

Is confidence in high speed

In high speed, high speed

High speed you on, high speed you on

High speed you on, high speed.

I wanna live life and never be cruel

And I wanna live life and be good to you

And I wanna fly and never come down

And live my life and have friends around.

We never change, do we?

No, no

We never learn, do we?

So I wanna live in a wooden house

I wanna live life and always be true

And I wanna live life and be good to you

And I wanna fly and never come down

And live my life and have friends around.

We never change, do we?

No, no

We never learn, do we?

So I wanna live in a wooden house

And making more friends would be easy

Oh, and I don't have a soul to save

Yes and I sin every single day...

We never change, do we?

We never learn, do we?

So I wanna live in a wooden house

Where making more friends would be easy

I wanna live where the sun comes out...

When I counted up my demons

Saw there was one for every day

With the good ones on my shoulder

I drove the other ones away.

So if you ever feel neglected

And if you think all is lost

I'll be counting up my demons, yeah

Hoping everything's not lost.

---

When you thought that it was over

You could feel it all around

Everybody's out to get you

Don't you let it drag you down.

'Cause if you ever feel neglected

If you think all is lost

I'll be counting up my demons, yeah

Hoping everything's not lost.

---

If you ever feel neglected

If you think that all is lost

I'll be counting up my demons, yeah

Hoping everything's not lost

Singing out oh oh oh yeah, oh oh yeah

Oh oh yeah, everything's not lost

So come on yeah, oh oh yeah

Come on yeah, everything's not lost.

---

Now I never meant to do you wrong

But that's what I came here to say

But if I was wrong, then I'm sorry

I don't let it stand in our way.

'Cause my head just aches when I think of

The things that I shouldn't have done

But life is for living, we all know

And I don't wanna live it alone.

Sing ah, ah, oh

Sing ah, ah, oh

And just sing ah, ah, oh...

Oh, I'm gonna buy this place and see it burn
And do back the things it did to you in return

He said I'm gonna buy a gun and start a war..♪♫

• Politik

Give me one, 'cause one is best
In confusion, confidence
Give me peace of mind and trust
Don't forget the rest of us
Give me strength, reserve control
Give me heart and give me soul
Wounds that heal and cracks that fix
Tell me your own politik

• In My Place

Sing it please, please, please
Come back and sing to me
To me, me

Come on and sing it out, now, now
Come on and sing it out
To me, me
Come back and sing
In my place, in my place
Were lines that I couldn't change
I was lost, oh yeah
Oh yeah

• God Put a Smile upon Your Face

Where do we go, nobody knows
I've got to say I'm on my way down
God give me style and give me grace
God put a smile upon my face

Where do we go to draw the line
I've got to say I wasted all your time
Oh honey honey
Where do I go to fall from grace
God put a smile upon your face yeah

• The Scientist

I had to find you
Tell you I need you
Tell you I set you apart

Tell me your secrets
And ask me your questions
Oh let's go back to the start

Running in circles
Coming up tails
Heads on a silence apart

Nobody said it was easy
It's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be this hard

Oh take me back to the start

• Clocks

Lights go out and I can't be saved
Tides that I tried to swim against
Have brought me down upon my knees
Oh, I beg, I beg and plead

Singing, come out on things unsaid
Shoot an apple off my head and a
Trouble that can't be named
Tigers waiting to be tamed, singing

You are
You are

• Am I part of the cure, or am I part of the disease?

• Green Eyes

Honey you are a rock
Upon which I stand
And I come here to talk
I hope you understand

• Warning Sign

A warning sign
You came back to haunt me and I realised
That you were an island and I passed you by
When you were an island to discover

Come on in
I've got to tell you what a state I'm in
I've got to tell you in my loudest tones
That I started looking for a warning sign

• A Whisper

I hear the sound of the ticking of clocks
Who remembers your face
Who remember you when you are gone?

I hear the sound of the ticking of clocks
Come back and look for me, look for me
When I am lost

• A Rush of Blood to the Head

He said I'm gonna buy a gun and start a war
If you can tell me something worth fighting for
Oh and I'm gonna buy this place that's what I said
Blame it upon a rush of blood to the head

Honey, all the movements you're starting to make
See me crumble and fall on my face
And I know the mistakes that I made
See it all disappear without a trace
And they call as they beckon you on
They said start as you mean to go on
Start as you mean to go on

• Amsterdam

Come on, oh my star is fading
And I swerve out of control
If I, if I'd only waited
I'd not be stuck here in this hole

Come here, oh my star is fading
And I swerve out of control
And I swear I waited and waited
I've got to get out of this hole

"if the sky's gonna fall down let it fall on me..." "Like Moses has power over the sea, you've got that power over me"

• Moses Live 2003

• Lights will guide you home
  And ignite your bones
  And I will try to fix you
  
  • Fix You

• Are you lost or incomplete?
  Do you feel like a puzzle, you can't find your missing piece?
  Tell me how do you feel?
  Well I feel like they're talking in a language I don't speak
  And they're talking it to me.
  • Talk

At night they would go walking 'til the breaking of the day

The morning is for sleeping

Through the dark streets they go searching to see God in their own way

Save the night time for your weeping

Your weeping.

Singing lalalalalalalalaiy

And the night over London lay

So we rode down to the river where Victorian ghosts pray

For their curses to be broken

We go wandering 'neath the arches where the witches are and they say

There are ghost towns in the ocean

The ocean.

Singing lalalalalalalalaiy

And the night over London lay.

---

God is in the houses, and God is in my head

And all the cemeteries of London

I see God come in my garden, but I don’t know what he said

For my heart it wasn't open

Not open.

Singing lalalalalalalalaiy

And the night over London lay

Singing lalalalalalalalaiy

There's no light over London today.

Just because I'm losing

Doesn't mean I'm lost

Doesn't mean I'll stop

Doesn't mean I'm across.

Just because I'm hurting

Doesn't mean I'm hurt

Doesn't mean I didn't get what I deserved

No better and no worse.

I just got lost!

Every river that I tried to cross

Every door I ever tried was locked

Oh and I'm just waiting 'til the shine wears off

---

You might be a big fish... in a little pond

Doesn't mean you've won

'Cause along will come

A bigger one

And you'll be lost!

Every river that you tried to cross

Every gun you ever held went off

Ohhh and I'm just waiting 'til the firing stopped

Ohhh and I'm just waiting 'til the shine wears off.

---

Ohhh and I'm just waiting 'til the firing stopped

Ohhh and I'm just waiting 'til the shine wears off.

Those who are dead are not dead, they're just living in my head

And since I fell for that spell, I am living there as well, ohh

Time is so short and I'm sure

There must be something more.

Those who are dead are not dead, they're just living in my head, ohh

And since I fell for that spell, I am living there as well, ohh

Time is so short and I'm sure

There must be something more...

---

You thought you might be a ghost

You thought you might be a ghost

You didn't get to heaven but you made it close

You didn't get to heaven but you made it close.

You thought you might be a ghost

You thought you might be a ghost

You didn't get to heaven but you made it close

You didn't get to heaven but you oh, oh...

Those who are dead are not dead, they're just living in my head

Wooohh...

Lovers, keep on the road you're on

Runners until the race is run

Soldiers, you've got to soldier on

Sometimes even the right is wrong.

They are turning my head out

To see what I'm all about

Keeping my head down

To see what it feels like now

But I have no doubt

One day, we are gonna get out.

---

Tonight, maybe we're gonna run

Dreaming of the Osaka sun

Ohh, ohh...

Dreaming of when the morning comes.

They are turning my head out

To see what I'm all about

Keeping my head down

To see what it feels like now

But I have no doubt

One day the sun will come out.

---

Reign of love, I can't let go

To the sea I offer this heavy load

Locusts will lift me up

I'm just a prisoner in a reign of love.

Locusts will let us stop

I wish I'd spoken to the reign of love

Reign of love, by the church we're waiting

Reign of love, my knees go praying

How I wish I'd spoken up

Or we'd be carried in the reign of love.

When it started we had high hopes

Now my back's on the line, my back's on the ropes

When it started we were alright

But night makes a fool of us in the daylight.

Then we were dying of frustration

Saying "Lord lead me not into temptation"

But it's not easy when she turns you on

Sin, stay gone.

If you'd only, if you'd only say yes

Whether you will's anybody's guess

God only God knows I'm trying my best

But I'm just so tired of this loneliness.

---

So up they picked me by the big toe

I was held from the rooftop then they let go

Dizzily screaming "Let the windows down"

As I crawl to the ground.

If you'd only, if you'd only say yes

Whether you will's anybody's guess

God only God knows she won't let me rest

But I'm just so tired of this loneliness

I've become so tired of this loneliness.

I used to rule the world

Seas would rise when I gave the word

Now in the morning I sleep alone

Sweep the streets I used to own.

I used to roll the dice

Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes

Listened as the crowd would sing

Now the old king is dead, long live the king.

One minute I held the key

Next the walls were closed on me

And I discovered that my castles stand

Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand.

I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing, Roman cavalry choirs are singing

Be my mirror, my sword and shield, my missionary's in a foreign field

For some reason I can't explain

Once you'd gone there was never, never an honest word

And that was when I ruled the world.

---

It was a wicked and wild wind

Blew down the doors to let me in

Shattered windows and the sound of drums

People couldn't believe what I'd become.

Revolutionaries wait

For my head on a silver plate

Just a puppet on a lonely string

Oh, who would ever want to be king?

I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing, Roman cavalry choirs are singing

Be my mirror, my sword and shield, my missionary's in a foreign field

For some reason I can't explain, I know Saint Peter won't call my name

Never an honest word, but that was when I ruled the world.

---

Oh oh oh oh ohh oh, oh oh oh oh ohh oh

Oh oh oh oh ohh oh, oh oh oh oh ohh oh

Hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing, Roman cavalry choirs are singing

Be my mirror, my sword and shield, my missionary's in a foreign field

For some reason I can't explain, I know Saint Peter won't call my name

Never an honest word, but that was when I ruled the world.

Was a long and dark December

From the rooftops I remember

There was snow, white snow.

Clearly I remember

From the windows they were watching

While we froze, down below.

When the future's architectured

By a carnival of idiots on show

You better lie low

If you love me, won't you let me know?

---

Was a long and dark December

When the banks became cathedrals

And a fox became God.

Priests clutched onto Bibles

Hollowed out to fit their rifles

And a cross was held aloft.

Bury me in armour

When I'm dead and hit the ground

My nerves are poles that unfroze

And if you love me, won't you let me know?

---

I don't want to be a soldier

Who the captain of some sinking ship

Would stow, far below

So if you love me, why d'you let me go?

I took my love down to Violet Hill

There we sat in the snow

All that time she was silent still

So if you love me, won't you let me know?

If you love me, won't you let me know?

They were sitting, they were sitting on the strawberry swing

Every moment was so precious

They were sitting, they were talking under strawberry swing

Everybody was for fighting

Wouldn't wanna waste a thing.

Cold, cold water bring me round

Now my feet won't touch the ground

Cold, cold water, what ya say?

When it's such, it's such a perfect day

It's such a perfect day.

---

I remember

We were walking up to strawberry swing

I can't wait until the morning

Wouldn't wanna change a thing.

People moving all the time

Inside a perfectly straight line

Don't you wanna just curve away?

When it's such, it's such a perfect day

It's such a perfect day.

---

Now the sky could be blue, I don't mind

Without you it's a waste of time

Could be blue, I don't mind

Without you, it's a waste of sky

Could be blue, could be grey

Without you I'm just miles away

Could be blue, I don't mind

Without you it's a waste of time.

All winter we got carried

Oh, way over on the rooftops, let's get married

All summer we just hurried

So come over, just be patient and don't worry

So come over, just be patient and don't worry.

So come over, just be patient and don't worry

And don't worry.

---

No, I don't want to battle from beginning to end

I don't want a cycle of recycled revenge

I don't want to follow death and all of his friends

No, I don't want to battle from beginning to end

I don't want a cycle of recycled revenge

I don't want to follow death and all of his friends.

---

And in the end, we lie awake

And we dream we'll make an escape

And in the end, we lie awake

And we dream we'll make an escape.

There's a wild wind blowing down the corner of my street

Every night there the headlights are glowing

There's a cold war coming, on the radio I heard

Baby, it's a violent world.

Oh love, don't let me go

Won't you take me where the streetlights glow

I could hear it coming, I could hear the sirens sound

Now my feet won't touch the ground.

---

Time came a-creepin', oh and time's a loaded gun

Every road is a ray of light

It goes o-o-on, time only can lead you on

Still it's such a beautiful night.

Oh love, don't let me go

Won't you take me where the streetlights glow

I could hear it coming, like a serenade of sound

Now my feet won't touch the ground.

---

Ohhh ohh-whoh

Gravity release me, and don't ever hold me down

Now my feet won't touch the ground.

Scared of losing all the time, he wrote it in a letter

He was a friend of mine

He heard you could see your future inside a glass of water

The ripples and the rhymes

And he asked, "Will I see heaven in mine?"

That is just the way it was

Nothing could be better and nothing ever was

Oh, they say you could see your future inside a glass of water

The riddles and the rhymes.

Will I see heaven in mine?

Oh oh oh ah son, don't ask

Neither how full nor empty is your glass

Cling... to the mast

Spend your whole life living in the past

Going nowhere fast.

---

So he wrote it on a wall

The hollowest of halos is no halo at all

Televisions selling plastic figurines of leaders

Saying nothing at all.

And you chime, star in heaven align

Oh oh oh ah son, don't ask

Neither how full nor empty is your glass

Cling... to the mast

Spend your whole life living in the past

Going nowhere fast.

---

Oh, what are we drinking when we're done?

Glasses of water...

Then there was rain

The sky wore a veil of gold and green

Night is the bride of a lonely day

Time just floated.

Then there was rain

The sound foundations are crumbling

To the ground comes a pyramid tumbling

Time just floated away

We watch it and stay and we can listen.

Oh, rainy day come round

Sometimes I just want it to slow down

And we're separated now, I'm down

But I love it when you come over to the house

I love it when you come over to my house.

---

Then there was rain

I spent the night with the queen of Spain

My lonely little heart well it broke again

Time so vicious

The deeper that the knife goes in, the more you win

You end up with less than where you begin

The deeper that the knife goes in

Oooohhhh...

Oh, rainy day come round

Sometimes I just want it to slow down

And we're separated now, I'm down

But I love it when you come over to the house

I love it when you come over to my house.

But I love it when you come over to the house

I love it when you come over to my house

I love it when you come over to the house

I love it when you come over to my house.

Smoke is rising from the houses

People burying their dead

I ask somebody what the time is

But time doesn't matter to them yet.

People talking without speaking

Trying to take what they can get

I ask you if you remember

Prospekt, how could I forget?

Drums, here it comes

Don't you wish that life can be as simple

As fish swimming round in a barrel

When you've got the gun?

Oh when I run, here it comes

We're just two little figures in a soup bowl

Trying to get to any kind of control

But I wasn't one.

Now here I lie on my own in a separate sky

Here I lie on my own in a separate sky

I don't wanna die on my own here tonight

But here I lie on my own in a separate sky.

Martin: Just because I'm losing

Doesn't mean I'm lost

Doesn't mean I'll stop

Doesn't mean I'm across.

Just because I'm hurting

Doesn't mean I'm hurt

Doesn't mean I didn't get what I deserved

No better and no worse.

I just got lost!

Every river that I tried to cross

Every door I ever tried was locked

Oh and I'm just waiting 'til the shine wears off

---

You might be a big fish... in a little pond

Doesn't mean you've won

'Cause along will come

A bigger one

And you'll be lost!

Every river that you tried to cross

Every gun you ever held went off

Ohhh and I'm just waiting 'til the firing stopped

Ohhh and I'm just waiting 'til the shine wears off

Jay-Z: Yeah... just waitin' til the... yeah

Aha, I got you, uh...

With the same sword they knight you, they gon' good night you with

Shit, that's only half if they like you

That ain't even the half what they might do

Don't believe me, ask Michael.

See Martin, see Malcolm

See Biggie, see Pac, see success and its outcome

See Jesus, see Judas

See Caesar, see Brutus, see success is like suicide.

Suicide, it's a suicide

If you succeed, prepare to be crucified, uh

Media meddles, niggas sue you, you settle

Every step you take, they remind you you're ghetto.

So it's tough being Bobby Brown

To be Bobby then, you have to be Bobby now

And the question is, "Is to have had and lost"

"Better than not having at all?"

Because I'm...

Martin: Ohhh and I'm just waiting 'til the shine wears off

Ohhh and I'm just waiting 'til the shine wears off.

Let me go boys, let me go

Push my boat from the highest cliff to the sea below

Rocks are waiting boys, if rocks await

Swoop down from the sky and catch me like a bird of prey.

Now my feet won't touch the ground

Now my head won't stop

You wait a lifetime to be found

Now my feet won't touch the ground.

---

Singing, now my feet won't touch the ground

Now my head won't stop

You wait a lifetime to be found

Now my feet won't touch the ground

Now my feet won't touch the ground.

Written in graffiti on a bridge in a park

"Do you ever get the feeling that you're missing the mark?"

It's so cold, it's so cold

It's so cold, it's so cold.

Written up in marker on a factory sign

"I struggle with the feeling that my life isn't mine"

It's so cold, it's so cold

It's so cold, it's so cold.

See the arrow that they shot, trying to tear us apart

Take the fire from my belly and the beat from my heart

Still I won't let go

Still I won't let go

You-u-u oohooh...

'Cause you do

Oh, you use your heart as a weapon

And it hurts like heaven.

---

On every street, every car, every surface a name

Tonight the streets are ours and we're writing and saying

Don't let them take control

No, we won't let them take control.

Yes, I feel a little bit nervous

Yes, I feel nervous and I cannot relax

How come they're out to get us?

How come they're out when they don't know the facts?

So on concrete canvas undercover of dark

On concrete canvas, I'll go making my mark

Armed with a spray can soul

I'll be armed with a spray can soul

You-u-u oohooh...

Oh, you-u-u oohooh...

'Cause you use your heart as a weapon

And it hurts like heaven.

---

Woho-ooh woho-oooh

It's true, when you

Use your heart as a weapon

And it hurts like heaven.

When she was just a girl, she expected the world

But it flew away from her reach so she ran away in her sleep

And dreamed of para-para-paradise, para-para-paradise, para-para-paradise

Every time she closed her eyes.

When she was just a girl, she expected the world

But it flew away from her reach and the bullets catch in her teeth

Life goes on, it gets so heavy, the wheel breaks the butterfly

Every tear a waterfall

In the night, the stormy night, she'll close her eyes

In the night, the stormy night, away she'd fly

And dream of para-para-paradise, para-para-paradise, para-para-paradise

Oh oh oh oh oh oh-oh-oh

She'd dream of para-para-paradise, para-para-paradise, para-para-paradise

Oh oh oh oh oh oh-oh-oh-oh

---

Lalalalalalalalalalala

And so lying underneath those stormy skies

She'd say, "oh, ohohohoh I know the sun must set to rise"

This could be para-para-paradise, para-para-paradise, could be para-para-paradise

Oh oh oh oh oh oh-oh-oh

This could be para-para-paradise, para-para-paradise, could be para-para-paradise

Oh oh oh oh oh oh-oh-oh-oh

This could be para-para-paradise, para-para-paradise, could be para-para-paradise

Oh oh oh oh oh oh-oh-oh-oh...

Stole a key

Took a car downtown where the lost boys meet

Took a car downtown and took what they offered me

To set me free

I saw the lights go down at the end of the scene

Saw the lights go down and standing in front of me.

In my scarecrow dreams

When they smash my heart into smithereens

Be a bright red rose, come bursting the concrete

Be a cartoon heart.

Light a fire, a fire a spark

Light a fire a flame in my heart

We'll run wild

We'll be glowing in the dark.

Oooh ooh ooh

We'll be glowing in the dark

A-woo-a-wooooo...

All the boys, all the girls, all that matters in the world

All the boys, all the girls, all the madness that occurs

All the highs, all the lows, as the room a-spinning goes

We'll run riot, we'll be glowing in the dark.

---

Ooooh, ooooh, ooooh

So we'll soar

Luminous and wired

We'll be glowing in the dark.

Oh, morning come bursting the clouds, amen

Lift off this blindfold, let me see again

And bring back the water, let your ships roll in

In my heart she left a hole.

The tightrope that I'm walking just sways and ties

The devil, as he's talking, with those angel's eyes

And I just want to be there when the lightning strikes

And the saints go marching in.

And sing slow-ow-ow-ow it down

Through chaos as it swirls

It's us against the world.

---

Like a river to a raindrop, I lost a friend

My drunken hazard Daniel in a lion's den

And tonight I know it all has to begin again

So whatever you do, don't let go.

And if we could float away

Fly up to the surface and just start again

And lift off before trouble just erodes us in the rain

Just erodes us in the rain

Just erodes us and see roses in the rain

And sing slow-ow-ow-ow it down

Slow-ow-ow-ow it down

Through chaos as it swirls

It's us against the world

Through chaos as it swirls

It's us against the world.

I turn the music up, I got my records on

I shut the world outside until the lights come on

Maybe the streets alight, maybe the trees are gone

I feel my heart stop beating to my favorite song.

And all the kids they dance, all the kids all night

Until Monday morning feels another life

I turn the music up, I'm on a roll this time

And heaven is in sight.

---

I turn the music up, I got my records on

From underneath the rubble sing a rebel song

Don't want to see another generation drop

I'd rather be a comma than a full stop.

Maybe I'm in the black, maybe I'm on my knees

Maybe I'm in the gap between the two trapezes

But my heart is beating and my pulses start

Cathedrals in my heart.

As we saw... oh, this light

I swear you'll emerge blinking into to tell me it's alright

As we soar walls, every siren is a symphony

And every tear's a waterfall

Is a waterfall, ah

Is a waterfall, ah ah ah

Is a-is a waterfall, every tear

Is a waterfall, ah ah ah

So you can hurt, hurt me bad

But still I'll raise the flag

It was a wa-wa-wa-wa-waterfall

A wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-terfall!

---

Every tear, every tear

Every teardrop is a waterfall

Every tear, every tear

Every teardrop is a waterfall...

They got one eye watching you, and one on what you do

So be careful who it is you're talking to

They got one eye watching you, one on what you do

So be careful what it is you're tryin' to do.

And be careful when you're walking into view

Just be careful when you're walking into view

Ooh-ooh-oooh, ooh-ooh-oooh-oooh

Got one eye on the road and one on you

Ooh-ooh-oooh, ooh-ooh-oooh-oooh

Got one eye on the road and one on…

---

They got one eye watching you, and one on what you do

So be careful 'cause nothing they say is true

Bu-but don't believe a word, it's just us against the world

And we just gotta turn to be heard.

Hear the crocodiles ticking 'round the world

Hear those crocodiles ticking, they go ticking 'round the world

Ooh-ooh-oooh, oh-ooh-oooh-oooh

Got one eye on the road and one on you

Ooh-ooh-oooh, ooh-ooh-oooh-oooh

Got one eye on the road and one on

I can hear them climbing the stairs

I got my right side fighting while my left hides under the chairs...

---

Ooh-ooh-oooh, oh-ooh-oooh-oooh

Got one eye on the road and one on you

Ooh-ooh-oooh, ooh-ooh-oooh-oooh

Got one eye on the road and one on you.

Lord, I don't know which way I am going

Which way the river's going to flow

It just seems that upstream I keep rowing

Still got such a long way to go

Still got such a long way to go.

And that light hits your eyes

I know I swear we'll find somewhere, the streets are paved with gold

Bullets fly split the sky

But that's alright sometimes sunlight comes streaming through the holes

Ohohoh...

Martin: Once upon a time somebody ran

Somebody ran away saying "fast as I can

"I got to go, I got to go"

Once upon a time we fell apart

You're holding in your hands the two halves of my heart

Oh oh oh, ohohohoh...

Rihanna: Once upon a time we burned bright

Now all we ever seem to do is fight

On and on

Both: And on and on and on

Once upon a time on the same side

Once upon a time on the same side in the same game

Rihanna: Now why d'you have to go

Have to go and throw water on my flame?

I could have been a princess, you'd be a king

Could have had a castle and worn a ring

But no-o-o-o-oh, you let me go-o-o-o-oh

I could have been a princess, you'd be a king

Could have had a castle and worn a ring

But no-o-o-o-oh, you let me go-o-o-o-oh

Both: You stole my star

La, la-la-la la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la-la

You stole my star

La, la-la-la la-la-la-la...

---

'Cos you really hurt me, no you really hurt me

'Cos you really hurt me, no you really hurt me

'Cos you really hurt me, oh-oh you really hurt me

'Cos you really hurt me, oh-oh you really hurt me.

So it's over

This time I know it's gone

Saltwater

Tasted it too long.

I only know I'm wrong

Now I know it's gone

Up in flames, up in flames, up in flames

We have slowly gone

So it's over

This time you're flying on

This time I know no song

Can stop its lonely burn

Can stop it slowly going.

Up in flames, up in flames, up in flames

We have slowly gone

Up in flames, up in flames, up in flames

We have slowly gone

We have slowly gone

Can't we pour some water on?

And if I lost a map, if I lost it all

I fell into the trap then she'd call

When you're tired of racing and you

Find you never left the start

Come on baby, don't let it break your heart.

Though heavily we bled, still on we crawl

Try to catch a cannonball

And a slow burning tide, ooh

Through my veins is flowing

From my shipwreck I heard her call

And she said

When you're tired of aiming your arrows

Still you never hit the mark, ohh

Even in your rains and shadows

Still we're never gonna part, ahh

Come on baby, don't let it break your heart

Don't let it break your heart

Don't let it break your heart

Don't let it break your heart.

The birds they sang, break of day

"Start again", I hear them say

It's so hard to just walk away.

The birds they sang, all a choir

"Start again", a little higher

It's a spark in a sea of grey.

The sky is blue, dream that lie 'til it's true

Then taking back the punch I threw

My arms turn wings, oh those clumsy things

Send me up to that wonderful world

And then I'm up with the birds.

---

Might have to go where they don't know my name

Float all over the world just to see her again

But I won't show or feel any pain

Even though all my armour might rust in the rain.

A simple plot, but I know one day

Good things are coming our way

A simple plot, but I know one day

Good things are coming our way

Oh yeah!

I think of you

I haven't slept

I think I do

But I don't forget.

My body moves, goes where I will

But though I try my heart stays still

It never moves, just won't be led

And so my mouth waters to be fed.

And you're always in my head

You're always in my head

You're always in my head

You're always in my head.

You're always in my head

Always in my

Always in my...

This, I guess...

Is to tell you you're chosen out from the rest...

Call it magic, call it true

I call it magic when I'm with you

And I just got broken, broken into two

Still I call it magic when I'm next to you.

And I don't and I don't and I don't and I don't, no I don't, it's true

I don't, no I don't, no I don't, no I don't want anybody else but you

I don't, no I don't, no I don't, no I don't, no I don't, it's true

I don't, no I don't, no I don't, no I don't want anybody else but you.

Ooh ooh ooh...

---

Call it magic, cut me into two

And with all your magic, I disappear from view

And I can't get over, can't get over you

Still I call it magic, such a precious jewel.

And I don't and I don't and I don't and I don't, no I don't, it's true

I don't, no I don't, no I don't, no I don't want anybody else but you

I don't, no I don't, no I don't, no I don't, no I don't, it's true

I don't, no I don't, no I don't, no I don't want anybody else but you.

Want to fall, fall so far

I want to fall, fall so hard

And I call it magic, and I call it true

I call it mahh... ma-ma-magic

---

And if you were to ask me

After all that we've been through

Still believe in magic?

Yes, I do

Oh yes, I do

Oh yes, I do

Oh yes, I do

Of course I do.

Got a tattoo said "together thru life"

Carved in your name with my pocket knife

And you wonder when you wake up will it be alright, oh oh ohh-oh

Feels like there's something broken inside.

All I know, all I know

Is that I'm lost whenever you go

All I know is that I love you so

So much that it hurts.

---

Got a tattoo and the pain's alright

Oooh-woooh

Just want a way of keeping you inside

Ohhh, ohhh

All I know, all I know

Is that I'm lost in your fire below

All I know is that I love you so

So much that it hurts.

I see the road begin to climb

I see your stars begin to shine

I see your colours and I'm dying of thirst

All I know is that I love you so

So much that it hurts.

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah!

So much that it hurts

So much that it hurts.

For a second I was in control

I had it once, I lost it though

And all along the fire below

Would rise

And I wish you could have let me know

What's really going on below

I've lost you now, you let me go

But one last time.

Tell me you love me

If you don't, then lie

Oh, lie to me.

---

Remember once upon a time

When I was yours and you were blind

A fire would sparkle in your eyes

And mine...

So tell me you love me

If you don't then lie

Oh, lie to me

Just tell me you love me

If you don't then lie

Oh, lie to me

If you don't then lie

Oh, lie to me.

Call it true, call it true love

Call it true, call it true love.

In the darkness before the dawn

In the swirling of the storm

When I'm rolling with the punches and hope is gone

Leave a light, a light on.

Millions of miles from home

In the swirling swimming on

When I'm rolling with the thunder but bleed from thorns

Leave a light, a light on

Leave a light, a light on.

Leave a light, a light on

Leave a light, a light on.

---

In the darkness before the dawn

In the darkness before the dawn

Leave a light, a light on

Leave a light, a light on.

Late night watching TV

Used to be you here beside me

Used to be your arms around me

Your body on my body.

When the world means nothing to me

Another's arms, another's arms

When the pain just rips right through me

Another's arms, another's arms.

---

Late night watching TV

Used to be you here beside me

Is there someone there to reach me

Or someone there to find me?

When the pain just rips right through me

Another's arms, another's arms

And that's just torture to me

Another's arms, another's arms

Pull yourself into me

Another's arms, another's arms

When the world means nothing to me

Another's arms, another's arms.

---

Got to pull you close into me

Another's arms, another's arms

Pull yourself right through me

Another's arms, another's arms.

Late night watching TV

Wish that you were here beside me

Wish that your arms were around me

Your body on my body...

Wait for your call love, the call never came

Ready to fall up, ready to claim

And I'm ready for it all love, ready for the pain

Meet under sun and meet me again

In the rain, in the rain.

Behind the walls, love, I'm trying to change

And I'm ready for it all, love, I'm ready for the change

Meet me in blue sky, meet me again

In the rain, the rain, the rain

In the rain, the rain...

Got to find yourself alone in this world

To find yourself alone...

Cause you're a sky, cause you're a sky full of stars

I'm gonna give you my heart

Cause you're a sky, cause you're a sky full of stars

Cause you light up the path.

And I don't care, go on and tear me apart

I don't care if you do-oo-oo

Cause in a sky, cause in a sky full of stars

I think I saw you.

---

Cause you're a sky, cause you're a sky full of stars

I want to die in your arms

Cause you get lighter the more it gets dark

I'm gonna give you my heart.

And I don't care, go on and tear me apart

I don't care if you do-oo-oo

Cause in a sky, cause in a sky full of stars

I think I see you

I think I see you.

---

Cause you're a sky, you're a sky full of stars

Such a heavenly view

You're such a heavenly view.

Flock of birds

Hovering above

Just a flock of birds

That's how you think of love.

And I always

Look up to the sky, pray before the dawn

Cause they fly always

Sometimes they arrive, sometimes they are gone

They fly on.

---

Flock of birds

Hovering above

Into smoke I'm turned and rise

Following them up.

Still I always

Look up to the sky, pray before the dawn

Cause they fly away

One minute they arrive, next you know they're gone

They fly on

Fly on.

So fly on, ride through

Maybe one day I'll fly next to you

Fly on, ride through

Maybe one day I can fly with you

Fly on, fly on

Fly on...

Oh, I think I landed in a world I hadn't seen

When I'm feeling ordinary, when I don't know what I mean

Oh, I think I landed where there are miracles at work

For the thirst and for the hunger come the conference of birds.

Saying it's true, it's not what it seems

Leave your broken windows open and in the light just streams

And you get a head, a head full of dreams

You can see the change you wanted, be what you want to be

And you get a head, a head full of dreams

Into life I’ve just been spoken, with a head full, a head full of dreams.

Oh, I think I landed where there are miracles at work

When you got me open-handed, when you got me lost for words

I sing oh-oh-oh-ohh

Ohhh-oh-oh-ohh...

A head full of dreams

A head full of dreams

Into life I've just been spoken

With a head full, a head full of dreams.

Been standing in the corner, studying the lights

The dreaming of escape will keep you up at night

But someone had put the flares up and got me in the rays

So, I guess I'd better stay; "Uh-uh no, come on", you say.

It's a fool's gold thunder, it's just a warring rain

Don't let the fears just start "what if I won't see you again"

Around here you never want to sleep all night

So start falling in love, start the riot and

Come on, rage with me

We don't need words

And we'll be birds

Got to make our own key.

---

Only got this moment, you and me

Guilty of nothing, but geography

Come on and raise it, come on and raise this noise

For the million people who got not one voice

Come on, it's not over! If you mean it say loud

Come on all for love out from the underground

Away with me

We don't need words

Close your eyes and see

And we'll be birds, flying free

Holding on in the mystery.

Fearless through this

You said we'll go through this together

When you fly, won't you

Won't you take me too?

In this world so cruel

I think you're so cool.

Oh, angels sent from up above

You know you make my world light up

When I was down, when I was hurt

You came to lift me up.

Life is a drink and love's a drug

Oh, now I think I must be miles up

When I was a river dried up

You came to rain a flood.

You said "drink from me, drink from me" when I was so thirsty

Poured on a symphony, now I just can't get enough

Put your wings on me, wings on me when I was so heavy

We're on a symphony when I’m lower, lower, lower, low

Ah-oh-ah-oh-ah

Got me feeling drunk and high, so high, so high

Oh, ah-oh-ah-oh-ah

I'm feeling drunk and high, so high, so high.

---

Oh, angels sent from up above

I feel you coursing through my blood

Life is a drink and your love's about

To make the stars come out.

Put your wings on me, wings on me when I was so heavy

We're on a symphony when I'm lower, lower, lower, low

Ah-oh-ah-oh-ah

Got me feeling drunk and high, so high, so high

Ah-oh-ah-oh-ah

I'm feeling drunk and high, so high, so high.

Ah-oh-ah-oh-ah, la la la la la la la

So high, so high

Ah-oh-ah-oh-ah

I'm feeling drunk and high, so high, so high.

Let me shoot across the sky

Let me shoot across the

Let me shoot across the sky

Let me shoot across the...

Oh, they say people come, say people go

This particular diamond was extra special

And though you might be gone, and the world may not know

Still I see you, celestial.

Like a lion you ran, a goddess you rolled

Like an eagle you circled in perfect purple

So how come things move on, how come cars don't slow

When it feels like the end of my world

When I should but I can't let you go?

But when I'm cold, cold

When I'm cold, cold

There's a light that you give me when I'm in shadow

There's a feeling you give me, an everglow.

---

Like brothers in blood, sisters who ride

And we swore on that night we'd be friends till we died

But the changing of winds, and the way waters flow

Life as short as the falling of snow

And now I'm gonna miss you, I know.

But when I'm cold, cold

In water-rolled... salt

And I know that you're with me and the way you will show

And you're with me wherever I go

And you give me this feeling, this everglow!

What I wouldn’t give for just a moment to hold

Yeah, I live for this feeling, this everglow...

So if you love someone, you should let them know

Oh, the light that you left me will everglow.

Turn your magic on, Umi she'd say

Everything you want's a dream away

We are legends every day

That's what she told me.

Turn your magic on, to me she'd say

Everything you want's a dream away

Under this pressure, under this weight

We are diamonds.

Now I feel my heart beating

I feel my heart underneath my skin

And I can feel my heart beating

'Oh, you make me feel... like I'm alive again

Alive again!

Oh, you make me feel...

Like I'm alive again.

---

Said I can't go on, not in this way

I'm a dream that died by light of day

Gonna hold up half the sky and say

Only I own me

And I feel my heart beating

I feel my heart underneath my skin

Oh, I can feel my heart beating

'Cause you make me feel... like I'm alive again

Alive again!

Oh, you make me feel

Like I'm alive again.

Turn your magic on, to me she'd say

Everything you want's a dream away

Under this pressure under this weight

We are diamonds taking shape

We are diamonds taking shape

---

If we've only got this life

This adventure, oh then I

And if we've only got this life

You get me through, ahh

And if we've only got this life

This adventure, oh then I

Want to share it with you

With you, with you

Yeah I do!

Woohoo, woohoo

Woohoo, woohoo...

I know it’s over before she says

I know the falls that the water face

I know it’s over

An ocean awaits for a storm

The sun on snow, rivers in rain

Crystal ball can foresee a change

And I know it’s over, a parting of ways

And it’s done

But didn’t we have fun?

Don’t say it was all a waste

Didn’t we have fun

Oh ah ooh ooh ooh

From the top of the world

The top of the waves

We said forever, forever always

We could have been lost

We would have been saved

Oh ah, ooh ooh ooh

Now we’re stopping the world

stopping its spin

but come on don’t give up don’t say we give in

Don’t say it’s over

Don’t say we’re done

Ah didn’t we have fun?

I know it’s over

Before she says

‘Know someone else has taken your place’

‘I know it’s over’

Icarus says to the sun

The Sword sinks in

Lightning strikes

And two force, two forces collide

And fight til it’s over

Fight til it’s done

Oh oh oh oh oh

But didn’t we have fun?

Don’t say it was all a waste

Didn’t we have fun?

Oh ah ooh ooh ooh

From the top of the world

The top of the waves

We said forever, forever always

We could have been lost,

We would have been saved

Oh AH ah ah ah

Now we’re stopping the world

Stopping in its tracks but

Nothing’s too broken to find a way back

So before it’s over

Before you run

Ah ah

Didn’t we have fun?

Cause you and me we were always meant to

Always meant to be

We were always meant to always meant to

You and me we were always meant to

Always meant to be

Wooh ooh ooh ooh oo ooh

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

oh oh didn’t we have fun?

But then

Maybe we could again

This being human is a guest house

Every morning a new arrival

A joy, a depression, a meanness

Some momentary awareness comes

As an unexpected visitor

Welcome and entertain them all!

be grateful for whoever comes

Because each has been sent as a guide.

Fixing up a car to drive in it again

Searching for the water hoping for the rain

Up and up, up and up

Down upon the canvas, working meal to meal

Waiting for a chance to pick your orange field

Up and up, up and up

See a pearl form, a diamond in the rough

See a bird soaring high above the flood

It’s in your blood, it’s in your blood

Underneath the storm an umbrella is saying

Sitting with the poison takes away the pain

Up and up, up and up it’s saying

We’re going to get it get it together right now

Going to get it get it together somehow

Going to get it get it together and flower

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

We’re going to get it get it together I know

Going to get it get it together and flow

Going to get it get it together and go

Up and up and up

Lying in the gutter, aiming for the moon

Trying to empty out the ocean with a spoon

Up and up, up and up

How come people suffer how come people part?

How come people struggle how come people break your heart?

Break your heart

Yes I want to grow yes I want to feel

Yes I want to know show me how to heal it up

Heal it up

See the forest there in every seed

Angels in the marble waiting to be freed

Just need love just need love

When the going is rough saying

We’re going to get it get it together right now

Going to get it get it together somehow

Going to get it get it together and flower

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

We’re going to get it get it together I know

Going to get it get it together and flow

Going to get it get it together and go

Up and up and up

And you can say what is, or fight for it

Close your mind or take a risk

You can say it’s mine and clench your fist

Or see each sunrise as a gift

We’re going to get it get it together right now

Going to get it get it together somehow

Going to get it get it together and flower

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

We’re going to get it get it together I know

Going to get it get it together and flow

Going to get it get it together and go

Up and up and up

We’re going to get it get it together right now

Going to get it get it together somehow

Going to get it get it together and flower

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

We’re going to get it get it together I know

Going to get it get it together and flow

Going to get it get it together and go

Up and up and up

Oh-oh oh, oh-oh oh oh oh oh

Fixing up a car to drive in it again

When you’re in pain

When you think you’ve had enough

Don’t ever give up

Don’t ever give up

I've been reading books of olds

The legends and the myths

Achilles and his gold

Hurchilles and his gifts

Spider men controls

Batmen wich his fits

And clearly I don't see my self upon that list

She said where you wanna go

How much you wanna risk

Am not looking for somebody with super human gifts

Some super hero some fairly tell bless

Just something I can turn to

Somebody I can kiss

I want something just like this

Doo doo doo doo doo

Doo doo doo doo doooo

Oh I want something just like this
