 Candy From A Stranger » The lyrics [+ Bæta við +] |
1. _ Close
Almost gave up yesterday, almost made it to the top
Short of dying just the other day, fell short of picking up a mop
If it's the thought that counts, you can always count on me
I think about it all the time
It's going to hit me like a bolt of white lightning
Here it comes, my peace of mind
Cause i'm close, so close, so close
I'm close, so close, so close
Falling short of proving it, just a hair from the truth
Little shy of improving it, here i come, i'm coming through
Pretty soon i'm going to shed this skin i'm wearing
I've been keeping it inside
No one cares just how you got there
No one cares how hard you've tried
But you're close, so close, so close
You're close, so close, so close
Well i've known you forever, we complete each other's thoughts
Ain't like we never got in trouble, it's just we've never gotten caught
And if you've got a secret
It's in me you can confide
And if we ever get split up
I'll always be on your side
Cause we're close, so close, so close
We're close, so close, so close

2. _ Draggin' The Lake
Sent on a mission to find out
Just how much shit one man can take
Went to the river to swim upstream
But got dragged into the lake
You're wide awake
But still you're dreaming
Of the pride it takes
It has no meaning
Am i still here
Can you see me, please say yes
Can you heal me, please say yes
When you watch over me, i am blessed
Now that you're all grown up
You're not so self assured, you'll never know
Who do you answer to when
No one's hanging round to let it show
You're wide awake
But still you're dreaming
The pride it takes
It has no meaning
Am i still here
Can you hear me, please say yes
Can you heal me, please say yes
When you watch over me, i am blessed
You're old enough to know better
Than to expect anything
Take care of yourself
You should know not to depend on anyone
Am i still here
Can you feel me, please say yes
Can you heal me, please say yes
When you watch over me, i am blessed
Am i still here
Can you see me, please say yes
Can you heal me, please say yes
When you watch over me, i am blessed

3. _ Blood Into Wine
Nothing happened, it's just two people passing through
Hearing voices in my head, hope they never lie to you
Why's something always gotta be up with you
Whatever i do is never enough for someone like you
Passing through you all the time
Turning blood into wine
Turning blood into wine
Who'll forgive me, who's to say if it's right or wrong
And you won't see me in a light that shines on me
And how come something's always gotta be up with you
Back on my feet but the night's getting long, do you think about me too
Turning blood into wine
It's passing through you all the time
Turning blood into wine
Three more days and you'll be hanging on the line
And if they ask you how i'm doing
Just tell 'em that i'm fine
Staying out all the time
Is turning blood into wine
Turning blood into wine
Blood into wine

4. _ Cradle Chain
It's a shame you're not here on the cross in my ear
Hearing things loud and clear, come outside have no fear
And clear the smoke, get some fresh air, someone waits, someone cares
In the broad light of day, trouble seems so far away
At the top of the day
When the reign sways
Lose the cradle chain
Give it up, give it a name
The child that remains
Nothing's lost, take these chains
Take them away
Please don't ask me how i am, a little tired, a little scared
I'm not amused, not upset, don't need a leash, i'm not your pet
So loosen up, feel the breeze, let me hear, hear you breathe
It's better than, bitter now, when you breathe i love that sound
But you know i'll look after
You like no one
Lose the cradle chain
Give it up, give it a name
The child that remains
Nothing's lost, take these chains
Take them away
If i die before i wake, light a fuse, bake a cake
I don't mind if i go, make it quick, don't be slow
But you know i'll remember
You like no one
Lose the cradle chain
Give it up, give it a name
The smile that remains
Will take these chains away

5. _ Lies Of Hate
You make me fall from
Lies of hate
You make these walls from
Lines of a face
Nobody's watching so why do you act like a fake
You make me crawl from
Lies of hate
You wake me up from
The lines that seperate
And when you shine
I know how to find out about
How to get out of it
How to get out of these chains
How to get out of it
How to get out of it
How to get out of this place
You make me fall from
Lies of hate
And when you shine
I know how to find out about
How to get out of it
How to get out of this chase
How to find out about
How to get out of it
How to get out of your space
How to get out of it
How to get out of it
How to get out of this place
How to find out about
How to go out without
Living the lies of hate

6. _ I Will Still Be Laughing
Doorways open up and close more ways to a punchline
They're all laughing at your clothes, standing in the lunch line
You're the talk of the town cause you're up and you're down
It's a cycle, i've found, it always comes around
But i will still be laughing
Yes i will still be laughing
Air raids in the afternoon, the children are playing
Switchblades, colored red balloons, no one hears your praying
And it comes back to you, all the things that you do
Will come looking for you, will come looking for you
But i will still be laughing
Yes i will still be laughing
Doorways lead to other rooms, always leave you lying
Face down in a stranger's tomb, didn't know you were dying
And you rise and you fall, and you wait for the call
You're watching the walls, you're watching the walls
But i will still be laughing
I will still be laughing
Yes i will still be laughing
I will still be laughing

7. _ The Game
My friend's wife, she plays the game
Plays it with me all the time
Makes me feel pretty good, i guess
Hey that's a pretty dress
But you shouldn't have
No, you shouldn't have
Let me know
No you shouldn't have
Really shouldn't have
Let it show
Play with me, don't play with me
Don't play
Play with me, don't play with me
Don't play
Don't you wanna play the game
If i were a renegade
And you were the county line
Will i have to cross it now
I got yours and you got mine
But you shouldn't have
No, you shouldn't have
Let it go
Play with me, don't play with me
Don't play
Play with me, don't play with me
Don't play
Don't you wanna play the game
Jealousy is just a game
It ties you up and wraps around your brain
Makes you feel like you might hurt yourself
Makes you feel insane
Play with me, don't play with me
Don't play
Play with me, don't play with me
Don't play
Don't you wanna play the game

8. _ New York Blackout
When you chew my ear off, try and let me know
You will never get another piece of me
Cause in a new york blackout, things go kinda slow
And you miss the things you never thought you'd see
There's still so many things i want to be
Sometimes i just don't even want to sleep
In a new york blackout, it's so hard to see
All the angels that are looking after me
The lies bounce off the water in your eyes
And the dead lift their heads and come alive
And i may never escape this darkened city
But still i'm trying to find you in this blackout
Where it's warm inside and always open late
And the doors to hell look just like heaven's gate
And you never know what's going on inside
'til you step out in the cold and seal your fate
And you might just stop in and say hello
But you've got much more important places to go
Make sure you let everybody know
That i may never enlight this darkened city
Still i'm trying to find you in this blackout
In a new york blackout, you might think i'm gone
But i'll wake up on the front steps of your door

9. _ See You Later
I guess i'll see you later
Sweet manipulator
And how i thank you dearly
For helping me see clearly
Yes sir no sir let me go
Sir i don't even want to know
Sir i've had all that i can take today
But i found out so long ago
It don't matter if it shows
And it's up in the air tonight
Yes it's up in the air tonight
Now you're anticipating
That nostalgia's waiting
With your social statement
Boxed up in the basement
Yes ma'am no ma'am let me go ma'am
I don't even give a damn
Ma'am i suppose i'll stand another day
I booked my flight despite my plans
I hope this flight it never lands
And it's up in the air tonight
Yes it's up in the air tonight
Cause i've got all night
To lie here on the floor
I got all night
Just like the night before
So make it soon
And i guess i'll see you later
I guess i'll see you later
I guess i'll see you later
I guess i'll see you later
We're so up in the air tonight

10. _ Creatures Of Habit
If the day wants to begin, you can let the day in
If the darkness has no end, light up the darkness
It ain't on what you can depend, it's who you can depend on
If the rain wants to come in, you can let the rain in
If the darkness is your friend, you can hold the darkness
And if it ain't what you got, you know you gotta have it
The grass gets greener all the time for creatures of habit
Look out, here comes one more morning
Habits form without a warning
Love it can be habit-forming
Make your enemies your friends, and leap standing naked
It ain't how much you can take, it's how you take it
Look out, here comes one more morning
Habits form without a warning
Love it can be habit-forming for creatures of habit
Look out
A habit's forming
It's just one more morning
For creatures of habit

11. _ No Time For Waiting
It's enough to make you stay
It's enough to make you go away
But you don't understand how i'm feeling
You don't understand no no
It's enough to make you sick
It's enough to make you wanna quit
But you don't understand how i'm feeling
You don't understand my life
It's sad when you can't cry
It all comes down to time keeps flying by
Time keeps telling me
There's no time for waiting
For the river to wash into the sea
And when i reach some understanding
I'm gonna let it wash all over
Wash all over me
It's too much to make you say
That you always wanted to be this way
But you don't understand this feeling
So why do i even try
It's sad when you can't try
It all comes down to time keeps killing time time keeps healing
I've no time for waiting
For the river to wash into the sea
And when i reach some understanding
I'm gonna let it wash all over
Wash all over me
But i know one day you'll see
The person i wanted to be
And there's no time for waiting
There's no time for waiting
Can't find the time
Can't find the time
There's no time
There's no time
There's no time
Can't find the time
