At the Palace

I want to see what people saw
I want to feel like I felt before
I want to see the kingdom come
I want to feel forever young
I want to sing
To sing my song
I want to live in a world where I belong
I want to live
I will survive
And I believe that it won't be very long

If we turn, turn, turn, turn, turn
Then we might learn
So where's the stars?
Up in the sky
And what's the moon?
A big balloon
We'll never know unless we grow
There's so much world outside the door

I want to sing
To sing my song
I want to live in a world where I'll be strong
I want to live
I will survive
And I believe that it won't be very long

If we turn, turn, turn, turn
And if we turn, turn, turn, turn
Then we might learn
Turn, turn, turn, turn
Turn, turn, turn
And if we turn, turn, turn, turn
Then we might learn
Learn to turn

Never see you coming around
They know they got their heads screwed on
I'm standing in the middle of town
I know I might never come home
Just standing where I am with all the people passing by me
The sound of all these passers-by mixed in with the bus and motor-car
I must be sure these are the signs
Cause I've been here a million times before

Just tell me when it's coming around, coming around
I think I see you coming to town, hunting you down
Bringing you round

Tell me if I'm bringing you down
Cause I was fine till you came along
You tell me that the tears of a clown cloud
That I'm confusing while abusing my mind
So far away I wanna be
That's not as close to you and me
The things they call our destiny
Now why do you have to pick on me at all?
My walls are coming down

Just tell me when it's coming around, coming around
I think I see you coming to town, hunting you down
Coming around

Take me away take me away
You said that you were gonna stay
But you're always lying anyway
You're gonna suffer if you don't start breathing

Now
Now that I need you
You're going away
Everyday sinking in the quicksand
Follow me down the drain

But it doesn't matter anyway
You're gonna get yours any day
And why you put the blame on me
If you could only see yourself as others see you

Now that I need you
You're going insane
Everyday sinking in the quick sand
Follow me down the drain
Everyday drinking in the same bar
Drowning my sorrows away

Take me away take me away
Or I'm never gonna get away
But it makes no difference to me
It's just the sound of on more rock star bleeding

Now
Now that I need you
You're out of the frame
Day by day sinking in the quicksand
Follow me down the drain
Everyday drinking in the same bar
Make mine the same again

Well I believe there's something watching over you
They're watching every single thing you say
And when you die they'll set you down and take you through
You'll realize one day

That the grass is always greener on the other side
The neighbor's got a new car that you want to drive
And when time is running out you want to stay alive

We all live under the same sky
We all will live we all will die
There is no wrong
There is no right
The circle only has one side

We all try hard to live our lives in harmony
For fear of falling swiftly overboard
But life is both a major and minor key
Just open up the chord

But the grass is always greener on the other side
The neighbour's got a new car that you want to drive
And when time is running out you want to stay alive

We all live under the same sky
We all will live
We all will die
There is no wrong
There is no right
The circle only has one side

Home and away
Life goes on the same
We bury the pain
And hold on to love
Hear the song
Sing along

But what does it change this life is so confusing
Feel like I'm always losing

We come in
Knowing everything
But don't say a word
Till they teach it away
Words are found
Too close to the edge that we don't dare say

And this will turn into something else
Something else
And when it does I'll be somewhere else
Somewhere else
Where else?

And you say I should be myself
Despite all the wrong (dragging you back)
Forgive and then forget and on and on and on and on

This life is so confusing feels like I'm always losing
And this will turn into something else
Something else
And when it does I'll be somewhere else
Somewhere else
Where else?

I can't sleep tonight
Everybody's saying everything is alright
Still I can't close my eyes
I'm seeing a tunnel at the end of all of these lights
Sunny days, where have you gone?
I get the strangest feeling you belong

Why does it always rain on me?
Is it because I lied when I was seventeen?
Why does it always rain on me?
Even when the sun is shinning I can't avoid the lightning

I can't stand myself
I'm being held up by invisible men
Still life on a shelf when
I've got my mind on something else
Sunny days, oh where have you gone
I get the strangest feeling you belong

Why does it always rain on me?
Is it because I lied when I was seventeen?
Why does it always rain on me?
Even when the sun is shinning I can't avoid the lightning

Middle eight
Oh where did the blue sky go?
Oh why is it raining so?
It's so cold

I can't sleep tonight
Everybody's saying everything is alright
Still I can't close my eyes
I'm seeing a tunnel at the end of all of these lights
Sunny days, where have you gone?
I get the strangest feeling you belong

Why does it always rain on me?
Is it because I lied when I was seventeen?
Why does it always rain on me?
Even when the sun is shinning I can't avoid the lightning

Oh where did the blue sky go? oh why is it raining so?
It's so cold

Why does it always rain on me?
Is it because I lied when I was seventeen?
Why does it always rain on me?
Even when the sun is shinning I can't avoid the lightning
Why does it always rain on me?
Why does it always rain on

In the church one day you will get hurt
In the school teacher's such a fool
And if they would ever come 'round here
They would ever come
Blame it on my style, take a pill
Don't tell me how to feel

Bad news and tunes
Sing it from the high
Singin' some sad song

Uncle Sam, playin' in the sand
Understand, hold my hand
Time is never gonna stop runnin'
Never gonna stop
Take me to the top of the trees
Don't take me for a cracked window pane

Bad news and tunes
Are shinin' from the high
Singin' some sad song

Don't rehearse, this is the last verse
In the hearse, goin' through your purse
And if they would ever laugh, not here
They would ever laugh
Blame it on my style, once again
Don't take me for a ride in the rain

Bad news and tunes
Shinin' from the high
Singin' some sad song

Every day I wake up and it's Sunday
What evers in my eye won't go away
The radio is playing all the usual
And what's a wonder wall anyway?

Because my inside is outside
My right side's on the left side
Cause I'm writing to reach you now but,
I might never reach you
I only want to teach you, about you,
But that's not you

It's good to know that you are home for Christmas
It's good to know that you are doing well
It's good to know that you're no longer hurting
It's good to know I'm feeling not so well

Because my inside in outside
My right side's on the left side
Cause I'm writing to reach you now but
I might never reach you
I only want to teach you,
About you, but that's not you
To know it's true, but that won't do

Maybe then tomorrow will be Monday
And whatever's in my eye should go away
Still the radio keeps playing all the usual
And what's a wonder wall anyway?

Because my inside in outside
My right side's on the left side
Cause I'm writing to reach you
I might never reach you
I only want to teach you,
About you, but that's not you
And you know it's true, but that won't do
And you know it's you, I'm talking to
