Everyday

Look at me dreaming of you
All i could hope is to have you
To have you walking with me
Laughing so in love, we two
Almost drunkenly
I did imbibe of this
Fantasy of you and me

Was i a fool to think?
The way you looked at me
I swear you did
But you looked away too quick
Was i a fool, was i a fool to think
That you would take me home
As if i was yours
Was i a fool to think at all?

I've grown tired of love
You are the trouble with me
I watch you walk right by
I smile, you do not notice me
Treat me recklessly
All you do is toss me pennies out
But the silence in me is screaming
Won't you come and get me?

Was i a fool to think?
The way you looked at me
I swear you did
But you looked away too quick
Was i a fool, was i a fool to think
That you would take me home
As if i was yours
Was i a fool to think at all?

Was i a fool to think?
The way you looked at me
I swear you did
But you looked away too quick
Was i a fool, was i a fool to think
That you would take me home
As if i was yours
Was i a fool to think at all?

You make a mess of me here
I dance a thousand steps for you
If you say yes to me
I'll be whatever gets you through

You make a mess of me here (was i a fool?)
I dance a thousand steps for you (was i a fool?)
Was i a fool, was i a fool to think?
Am i a fool, am i a fool for you?

i walk into this room
Oh, all eyes on me now
But i do not know the people inside
They look straight through me, these eyes
Seeking more wisdom than i have to give away
Realize, realize what you are...

What you've become,
Just as i have
Are you and i so unalike?
Huddled here, you,
Just as i am
Afraid if we dance we might die
Mock the world
Live safe, say why
Don't you know if you live life
Then you become what you are

The seasons sparing
We're all drifting away
Away from you
I pray for you now

Hoping to god on high
Is like clinging to straws
While drowning, oh
Realize, realize what you are...

What you've become
Just as i have
Are you and i so unalike?
Huddled here, you,
Just as i am
Afraid if we dance we might die
Mock the world
Live safe, say why
Don't you know
When you live life
Then you become what you are

What you are
Is the beast in a lover's arms
What you are
Is the devil in the sweet, sweet kiss
What you are
Is missing a piece
What you are
Is a puzzle to me

What you've become
Just as i have
Are you and i so unalike?
I don't hear you
Just as i am
Afraid if we dance we might die
What the world gives to you
Don't you know
When you give life
Then you become what you are?

Don't trust me
Trust you...
Up to you...
Trust you...

Mother, father please explain to me
Why a world so full of mystery
A place so bitter and still so sweet
So beautiful and yet so full of sad, sad...

Mother, father please explain to me
Why forests march to desert speed
While snowcapped mountains melt away
What do we tell our babies, when do we say, oh

Mother, father please explain to me
How a man who rocks his child to sleep
Pulls the trigger on his brother's heart
He digs a hole right to the middle of this storm of hatred

Mother, father please explain to me
How it could be so this world has come to be
A precious balance in between
Such cruelty and such kindness please

Mother, father please explain to me
How this world has come to be
Unequaled in her blessings, oh, i see
Unbridled hatred so extreme, please tell me

Mother, father please explain to me
How this world has come to be so
Twisted between time and dreams
Oh, mother, father please explain to me
Oh, what's all this talk about?
All this talk about it
Spinning down, down, down, down, down
All this talk about
Endless words without
Nothing's done

Mother, father do you know
Why one man's belly overflows
Another sleeps in hunger's bed
Oh, we trade our world for a piece of bread

Oh mother, father please explain to me
How this rare world's come to be
A place so full of color yet overflowing
Always in black and white
Drowning in the waters of our...

Mother, father please explain to me
How this world has come to be
While still blessed in all the things we see
Such a sad, sad home for you and me

Come out, and hold,
Come on out you
Come on out you
Come and save yourself

Come on out you
Come on we're taking the water
We're taken the water
We're taken the water
But you know
We got the freedom
We got the freedom

There's no god above
And no hell below
Oh, it's here with us
It's up to us
To keep afloat

How this sweet world has come to be
Oh to keep afloat

Mother, father please explain to me
How this rare world has come to be
Oh, let the blue planet
Let the blue planet

Mother, father please explain to me
Mother, father please explain

I'm mixing up a bunch of magic stuff
A magic mushroom cloud of care
A potion that will rock the boat will rock
Make a bomb of love and blow it up

Guilty as charged

Change the ugly ways of the world
I didn't know it felt so right inside
I didn't know it all
Open up the curtains i heard sirens there the lights flash and crawl
I did it justice i just did it for the buzz

It's a nickel or a dime for what i've done
The truth is that i don't really care
For such a lovely crime i'll do the time

All you people are the skewers of our dreams
Like the cat collared me
Oh what i gotta say to you got love don't
Turn it down

We got a long way to go
But you gotta start somewhere
Go door to door spread the love you got

Does it matter where you get it from

Don't turn my cheek for anyone
Unturn your cheek to give your love
Love to grow

When the world ends
Collect your things
You're coming with me
When the world ends
You tuckle up yourself with me
Watch it as the stars disappear to nothing
The day the world is over
We'll be lying in bed

I'm gonna rock you like a baby when the cities fall
We will rise as the building's crumble
Float there and watch it all
Amidst the burning, we'll be churning
You know, love will be our wings
The passion rises up from the ashes
When the world ends

When the world ends
You're gonna come with me
We're going to be crazy
Like a river bends
We're going to float
Through the criss cross of the mountains
Watch them fade to nothing
When the world ends
You know that's what's happening now
I'm going to be there with you somehow, oh...

I'm going to tie you up like a baby in a carriage car
Your legs won't work cause you want me so
You just lie spread to the wall
The love you got is surely
All the love that i would ever need
I'm going to take you by my side
And love you tall,

Oh, i'm choking, i'm choking
On the smoke from this burning house
I claw and i scrape
But i can't seem to get out
But who then, who is this
That's scratching from the ground
Oh, it's my world, too
But whose gold is this i'm digging out?

When we go, where we go
When we're dead
Is the verdict still out?
Do we get into line
To line up with those long dead now?
With the muffled tears of sorrow
Bones underground
Is this time our time?
Yes, it is
Without or with this shadow of doubt

I don't want to wake up
Lost in the dreams of our fathers
Oh, it's such a waste child
To live and die for the dreams of our fathers
Though i must confess, yes
My view is a wonder about this
This love i possess, love
Must be the dreams of our fathers

I wanna go, i wanna run
We turn, so sure someone's looking down
It's haunting me, haunting me
Leaves us here to get out
Though i don't believe, i don't believe
This flavor in my mouth
Is from my tongue alone
So bitter i wanna spit it out

I repeat these words
They come out
Under the blue light in the sky
My empty pages are filling up
With these wicked lies
But i hear deep in myself
An echo, an echo
Of empty, empty emptiness
Comes up and swells inside

I don't want to wake up
Lost in the dreams of our fathers
Oh, it's such a waste child
To live and die for the dreams of our fathers
Though i must confess, yes
My view is a wonder about this
This love i possess, love
It must be the dreams of our fathers

Rain on my head
Rain on my head
Rain on me
And then give me air
Rain on my love
Again and again
Why can't i dream you away from me?

Look here, look here
Bloated, floating
Go belly down
Belly up in the water
But who is this here that's drowned?
We followed a drunken man
He got us all spinning round
But it's like he swallowed himself
And didn't leave us a way out

I don't want to wake up
Lost in the dreams of our fathers
Oh, it's such a shame child
To live and die for the dreams of our fathers
Though i must confess, yes
My view is a wonder about this
This love i possess, love
It must be the dreams of our fathers

This love i possess, love
It must be the dreams of our fathers
This love i possess, love
It must be the dreams of our fathers
This love i possess, love
It must be the love of our fathers

The dreams
The dreams
The dreams
This love i possess love
