 Cruel Inventions » Lyrics [+ Lisätä +] |
1. _ Cruel Inventions
Two men with empty pockets put lipstick on a little girl
And another dream goes by
They make her ride the rockets
That fall into a sea of pearl
And another dream goes by
Power stealing through
Fading out of view
Our cruel inventions
The beat generation all got on the morning train
And another dream goes by
They left me at the station
Breathing dust from hopeless rain
And another dream goes by
Un-invent the wheel of endless greed
Let conscience run like a river like a dreamer
A world of elevators with music like magazines
And another dream goes by
Magnetic separators divided by a wall of screens
And another dream goes by

2. _ Lying
If i said i believe my eyes
And science can move my soul
If i said i'm not afraid to die
And i don't need you
I'd be lying
If i said the way he looks at me
Doesn't make me want to undress
If i said i could leave you now
And go where i could forget
I'd be lying
I've been lying all my life with silence
And i need to find the words to tell you
If i said i don't want what i don't have
And all the answers are enough
If i said i believe in myself
And that's enough
I'd be lying

3. _ Private Storm
We lock the hurricane indoors
Looking for shelter, we deny and ignore
Afraid that our words bring clouds we talk in code
The thunder or cruel perfection covers love
And we're cold
The private storm
And our souls are worn from the tears
The private storm
And it rages on through the years
No warning the ground pulls out from underneath
We tiptoe through air until we see the blood on their teeth
Time doesn't heal, the scars turn into wounds
As we walk lightly silent screams in the storm

4. _ Go Down
You face the blue and wish the roof would open up
But arches of commerce have made the sky corrupt
Go down
Break the code of death for profit break the guns
Break the silence of money break the greedy unison
Go down
Maybe someday you'll come back to me
Find the mystical connection find the dreams
Under cynical wreckage find the winding conscious stream
Go down
Maybe someday you'll come back to me

5. _ Hole In Time
The first time he saw her was through a telescope
A misfit cactus filled with bottled hope
He answered like a sick man getting out of bed
Suspicion and thirst curiosity and dread
The blindness in control
Freeze the fatal bullet
As we're falling through a hole in time
One night he came home and found the house burning
Through the frozen smoke he saw the earth turning
A curtain of silence fell on deaf ears
A dream from the past was echoing through the years
The blindness in control
Freeze the fatal bullet
As we're falling through a hole in time

6. _ Raised On Promises
Building cage i can only study the blame
I can think of a word for myself but no name
Question darts throw me to the dogs of progress
But they run from what really matters
Raised on promises
To the furnace for shade to the dust for a drink
Logic's mad and shame doesn't care what you think
The ocean's dry it's only a phantom that you fathom
But the flood comes from the desert
Raised on promises
Land of the known
Free of the brave
They sell us ourselves
The center has moved and water bleeds from broken faces
Raised on promises

7. _ Where The Colors Don't Go
In a white room, in a white head
In a cobweb of enterprise
Where the dreams sleep and fears keep
That's where the colors don't go
That's where the colors don't show
In one take, no give
Half live, half ignore
An endless chase in a small place
One world, one white flag
One shopping bag and restaurant
No surprise there
Only lies there
I want your eyes to color my world
And see our endless longing

8. _ Tripping Over Gravity
Black niagara
Of control spilling down to culture mock
You can tell me
Feet will land on the ground, safe, and walk
Tripping over gravity
Missing logic
Tripping over gravity
Hicks on fire
Commuter virus has killed the balance ball
Stained with heaven
Always washing our legs won't move at all
Tripping over gravity
Missing logic
Tripping over gravity
Free thought pirates
Neon fights flashing rights on concrete lace
Sleepless tired
Walls of print chatting cage on jokers face
Tripping over gravity
Missing logic
Tripping over gravity

9. _ Standing Still
In the middle of the night i'm growing secrets
Holding the choice in my hand
My beating heart
Some see an end i see a way out
Starting with ashes i'm building fire
We're danced a long time
We've danced too long
Out on the floor i'm thinking
I'm standing still
I want them to think i'm dead
Turn off the noises that drug my brain
And make me buy
Fashion is out of fashion
Broken t.v. listens to the wind
We're danced a long time
We've danced too long
Out on the floor i'm thinking
I'm standing still
When i turn to look they're making sex
Carry obsession to market
I'm so confused
I'm burning in the shadows
You're the only fire made to match
We're danced a long time
We've danced too long
Out on the floor i'm thinking
I'm standing still

10. _ Now I Can't Find The Door
It wasn't what i had to drink
That kept me up all night
Something you said made me think
I was up all night
I forgot my reservation
There's no room for doubt
I don't know how i got in
But you found me out
Now i can't find the door
Love is what i leave for
I can't find the door
(away from you comrade)
Germany and japan
Make me feel so poor
Like seeing some new movie star
In a dress i wore
You'll notice that i changed the subject
I'm afraid of you
Here must be some back way
Or window i can climb out through
Unlock this dark room
Last time i knocked down the door
I've cornered fear with keys
From whispered core
Now i can't find the door
Love is what i leave for
I can't find the door
