To be lost in the forest, to be cut adrift

You've been trying to reach me, you bought me a book

To be lost in the forest, to be cut adrift

I've been paid, I've been paid

To be lost in the forest, to be cut adrift

You've been trying to reach me, you bought me a book

To be lost in the forest, to be cut adrift

I've been paid, I've been wait, I've been...

Don't get offended, if I seem absent minded

Just keep telling me facts, and keep making me smarter

And don't get offended, if I seem absent minded

I get tongue-tied

Baby, you've got to, be more discerning

I've never known, what's good for me

Baby, you've got, to be more demanding

I will be yours

I'll pay for you, anytime

I'll pay for you, anytime

And you told me you wanted, to eat up my sadness

Well jump on, enjoy, you can gorge away

You told me you wanted, to eat up my sadness

Jump right

Baby, you've got to be more discerning

I've known never known what's good for me

And baby, you've got to be more demanding

Jump left

What are you holding out for?

What's always (in the way)?

Why so damn absent-minded?

Why so scared (of romance)?

This modern love, breaks me

This modern love, wastes me

This modern love, breaks me

This modern love, wastes me

Do you wanna come over, and kill some time?

Do you wanna come over, and kill some time?

Do you wanna come over, and kill some time?

Throw your arms around me

It must be the colors

And the kids

That keep me alive

'Cause the music is boring me to death

It must just be the colors

And the kids that keep me alive

'Cause I wanna go ride away

To a January night

Built a shack with an old friend

He was someone I could learn from

Someone I could become

Will you meet me down

On a sandy beach

We can roll up our jeans

So the tide won't get us below the knees

Yellow hair

You are a funny bear

Yellow hair

You are such a funny bear

Slender fingers

Would hold me slender limbs would hold me

And you could say my name

Like you knew my name

I could stay here

Become someone different

I could stay here

Become someone better

It's so hard to go in the city

'Cause you wanna say hello to everybody

It's so hard to go into the city

'Cause you wanna say hey I love you to everybody

When we were teenagers we wanted to be the sky

Now all we wanna do is go to red places

And try to stay outta hell

It must be the colors

And the kids

That keep me alive

'Cause the music is boring me to death

it must just be the colors

And it must just be the kids

That keep me alive on this January night.

Yellow hair

You are a funny bear

Yellow hair

You are such a funny bear

Loving you

Isn`t the right thing to do

How can I ever change things

That I feel

If I could

Maybe I`d give you my world

How can I

When you won`t take it from me

You can go your own way

Go your own way

You can call it

Another lonely day

You can go your own way

Go your own way

Tell me why

Everything turned around

Packing up,

Shacking up's all you wanna do

If I could

Baby I`d give you my world

Open up

Everything`s waiting for you

You can go your own way

Go your own way

You can call it

Another lonely day

You can go your own way

Go your own way

I'll be your mirror

Reflect what you are, in case you don't know

I'll be the wind, the rain and the sunset

The light on your door to show that you're home

When you think the night has seen your mind

That inside you're twisted and unkind

Let me stand to show that you are blind

Please put down your hands

'Cause I see you

I find it hard to believe you don't know

The beauty you are

But if you don't let me be your eyes

A hand to your darkness, so you won't be afraid

When you think the night has seen your mind

That inside you're twisted and unkind

Let me stand to show that you are blind

Please put down your hands

'Cause I see you

I'll be your mirror

i

I'll be your mirror

Reflect what you are, in case you don't know

I'll be the wind, the rain and the sunset

The light on your door to show that you're home

When you think the night has seen your mind

That inside you're twisted and unkind

Let me stand to show that you are blind

Please put down your hands

'Cause I see you

I find it hard to believe you don't know

The beauty that you are

But if you don't let me be your eyes

A hand in your darkness, so you won't be afraid

When you think the night has seen your mind

That inside you're twisted and unkind

Let me stand to show that you are blind

Please put down your hands

'Cause I see you

I'll be your mirror

Leave the bright blue door on the white-washed floor.

Leave the death lecher under city hall.

Leave the joyful air and that rubber ball today.

Leave the lilac print on the linen sheet.

Leave the bird you killed at your father's feet.

Let the sideways rain in the crooked street remain.

Leave whimpering dog in his cold kennel.

Leave the dead starlit on her pedestal.

Leave the acid kids in their green fishbowls today.

Leave the sad guitar in its hard-shell case.

Leave the worried look on your lover's face.

Let the orange embers in the fireplace remain.

Cause everything must belong somewhere.

The train off in the distance, bicycle chained to the stairs.

Everything must belong somewhere.

I know that now, that's why I'm staying here.

Leave the ocean's roar in the turquoise shell.

Leave the widower in his private hell.

Leave the liberty in that broken bell today.

Leave the epic poem on its yellow page.

Leave the grey macaw in his covered cage.

Let the traveling band on the interstate remain.

Cause everything must belong somewhere.

Sound-stage in California, televisions in Times Square.

Everything must belong somewhere.

I know that now, that's why I'm staying here.

Yeah I know that now that's why I'm staying here.

Leave the secret tops on the trundle bed.

Leave the garden tools in the rusted shed.

Leave those bad ideas in your troubled head today.

Leave the restless ghost in his old hotel.

Leave the homeless man in his cardboard cell.

Let the painted horse on the somber carousel remain.

Cause everything must belong somewhere.

Just like the gold around your finger and the silver in his hair.

Yeah, everything must belong somewhere.

I know that now, that's why I'm staying here.

I know that now, that's why I'm staying here.

In truth, the fullest tears resound.

Each blade of grass as it lies down.

The world requires no audience.

no witnesses, no witnesses.

Leave the old town drunk on his wooden stool.

Leave the autumn leaves in the swimming pool.

Leave the poor black child in his crumbling school today.

Leave novelist in his daydream tune.

Leave the scientist in his rubik's cube.

Let true genius in the padded room remain.

Leave horses hair on the slanted bow.

Leave the slot machines on the riverboat.

Leave the cauliflower in the casserole today.

Leave the hot white-trash in their shopping malls.

Leave the hawks of war in their capitals.

Let the organs moan in the cathedral remain.

Cause everything must belong somewhere.

You lock the devil in the basement, God up into the air.

Yeah, everything must belong somewhere.

I know it's true, I wish you'd leave me here.

I know it's true, why don't you leave me here?

I was dressed for success,

but success it never comes

and I'm the only one who laughs

at your jokes when they are so bad

and the jokes always bad

but they're not as bad as this

come join us in a prayer

we'll be waiting waiting where

everything's ending here

and all the sterile striking it defends

an empty dock you cast away

and rain upon your forehead

where the mist's for hire if it's just too clear

let's spend our last quarterstance randomly

go down to the outlet once again

painted portraits of minions & slaves

crotch mavens and one night plays

are they the only ones who laugh

at the jokes when they are so bad

and the jokes always bad

but they're not as bad as this

come join us in a prayer

we'll be waiting waiting where

everything's ending here

and all the spanish candles unsold

away have gone to this

and a "run-on piece of mount on"

trembles, shivers, runs down the freeway

I guess she spent her last quarter randomly

I guess a guess is the best I'll do

last time last time

was the best time...

I spent randomly

I sit at my table and wage war on myself

It seems like it's all...it's all for nothing

I know the barricades, and

I know the mortar in the wall breaks

I recognize the weapons, I used them well

This is my mistake. Let me make it good

I raised the wall, and I will be the one to knock it down

I've a rich understanding of my finest defenses

I proclaim that claims are left unstated,

I demand a rematch

I decree a stalemate

I divine my deeper motives

I recognize the weapons

I've practiced them well. I fitted them myself

It's amazing what devices you can sympathize...empathize

This is my mistake. Let me make it good

I raised the walls, and I will be the one to knock it down

Reach out for me and hold me tight. Hold that memory

Let my machine talk to me. Let my machine talk to me

This is my world

And I am world leader pretend

This is my life

And this is my time

I have been given the freedom

To do as I see fit

It's high time I've razed the walls

That I've constructed

It's amazing what devices you can sympathize...emapathize

This is my mistake. Let me make it good

I raised the walls, and I will be the one to knock it down

You fill in the mortar. You fill in the harmony

You fill in the mortar. I raised the walls

And I'm the only one

I will be the one to knock it down

give this stone to my brother

So you speak to me of sadness and the coming of the winter,

the fear that is within you now, it seems to never end.

The dreams that have escaped you,

And the hopes that you've forgotten.

You tell me that you need me now,

you want to be my friend.

And you wonder where we're going,

where's the rhyme and where is the reason?

And if you cannot accept it is here we must begin,

to seek the wisdom of the children,

and the graceful way of flowers in the wind.

For the children and the flowers are my sisters and my brothers,

their laughter and their loveliness could clear a cloudy day.

Like the music of the mountains and the colors of the rainbow,

they're a promise of the future and a blessing for today.

Though the cities start to crumble and the towers fall around us,

the sun is slowly fading and it's colder than the sea.

It is written: "From the desert to the mountains they shall lead us,

by the hand and by the heart, they will comfort you and me.

In their innocence and trusting, they will teach us to be free."

For the children and the flowers are my sisters and my brothers,

their laughter and their loveliness could clear a cloudy day.

And the song that I am singing is a prayer to nonbelievers:

"Come and stand beside us, we can find a better way."

Come again??

It's okay, we've all seen better days

It's okay, you don't have to run and hide away

It's okay

It's okay, yeah we love you anyway

For in those reckless moments

When doubt is creeping in your head

Feeling like you've lost your youth

And the dreams you had are cold and dead

I can't reach you anymore

That's gonna take a different man

I can't protect you like before

You've slipped beyond my hands

But it's okay.......

I wish that I could light the path

That leads to a life of no mistakes

Hold you from the damned be done

That living out of safety seems to take

I remember still the child in you

As if only yesterday

It was easy to break through

I only had to kiss the pain

But it's okay.......

This is my chance, this is my life

And my opening hour

This is my choice, this is my voice

There may be no tomorrow

This is my plea, this is my need

This is my time for standing free

This is my step, this is my depth

In a world demanding of me

But is's okay.......

This is nothing like it was in my room

In my best clothes

Trying to think of you

This is nothing like it was in my room

In my best clothes

The English are waiting

And I don't know what to do

In my best clothes

This is when I need you

The English are waiting

And I don't know what to do

In my best clothes

I'm the new blue blood, I'm the great white hope

I'm the new blue blood

I won't fuck us over, I'm Mr. November

I'm Mr. November, I won't fuck us over

[repeat]

I wish that I believed in fate

I wish I didn't sleep so late

I used to be carried in the arms of cheerleaders

[repeat]

I'm the new blue blood, I'm the great white hope

I'm the new blue blood

I won't fuck us over, I'm Mr. November

I'm Mr. November, I won't fuck us over

[repeat]

I wish that I believed in fate

I wish I didn't sleep so late

I used to be carried in the arms of cheerleaders

[repeat]

I'm the new blue blood, I'm the great white hope

I'm the new blue blood

I won't fuck us over, I'm Mr. November

I'm Mr. November, I won't fuck us over

i fear that i am ordinary, just like everyone

to lie here and die among the sorrows

adrift among the days

for everything i ever said

and everything i've ever done is gone and dead

as all things must surely have to end

and great loves will one day have to part

i know that i am meant for this world

my life has been extraordinary

blessed and cursed and won

time heals but i'm forever broken

by and by the way...

have you ever heard the words

i'm singing in these song?

it's for the girl i've loved all along

can a taste of love be so wrong

as all things must surely have to end

and great loves will one day have to part

i know that i am meant for this world

and in my mind as i was floating

far above the clouds

some children laughed i'd fall for certain

for thinking that i'd last forever

but i knew exactly where i was

and i knew the meaning of it all

and i knew the the distance to the sun

and i knew the echo that is love

and i knew the secrets in your spires

and i knew the emptiness of youth

and i knew the solitude of heart

and i knew the murmurs of the soul

and the world is drawn into your hands

and the world is etched upon your heart

and the world so hard to understand

is world you can't live without

and i knew the silence of the world
