One day i know
We'll find a place of hope
Just hold on to me

Walk tight, one line
You're wanted this time
There's no one to blame
Just hold on to me

(come on my love)
And i'm right on time
And the birds keep singing
And you're right on line
And the bells keep ringing
And the battle is won
And the planes keep winging
And i'm right on time
And the girl keeps singing

One day they'll be a place for us

I walk and i wade
Through full lands and lonely
I stumble, i stumble
With you i wait
To be born again
With love comes the day
Just hold on to me

(come on my love)
And i'm right on time
And the birds keep singing
And you're right on line
And the bells keep ringing

One day they'll be a place for us

And the battle is won
And the planes keep winging
And i'm right on time
And the girl keeps singing

One day they'll be a place for us

Now is the time
To follow through
To read the signs
Now the message sent
Let's bring it to it's final end

And i'm right on time
And the birds keep singing
And you're right on line
And the bells keep ringing
One day they'll be a place for us
And the battle is won
And the planes keep winging
And i'm right on time
And the girl keeps singing
One day they'll be a place for us

One day
I
Know
They'll be
A place
Called
Home

Speak to me of
Universal laws
The whores hustle and the hustlers whore
All around me
People bleed
Speak to me
Your song of greed

Speak to me
Of you inner charm
Of how you'll keep me
Safe from harm
I don't think so
I don't see
Speak to me
Of your inner peace

Little people
At the amusement park
City people
In the dark
Speak to us
Send us a sign
Just give us something
To keep us trying

The whores hustle and the hustlers whore
Too many people out of love
The whores hustle and the hustlers whore
The city's ripped right to the core

Speak to me
Of heroin and speed
Genocide and suicide
Of syphilis and greed
Speak to me
The language of love
The language of violence
The language of the heart

This isn't the first time
I've asked for money or love
Heaven and earth
Don't ever mean enough
Speak to me
Of heroin and speed
Just give me something
I can believe

The whores hustle and the hustlers whore
Too many people out of love
The whores hustle and the hustlers whore
The city's ripped right to the core

Sometimes i can see for miles
Through water and fire
From england to america
I feel life meet my eyes

And it's the best thing
It's the best thing
It's the best thing
A beautiful feeling

A smile from san diego
He's still a boy
Two ends to every rainbow
And a train from mexico

And he's the best thing
He is the best thing
He is the best thing
A beautiful feeling

And when i watch you move
And i can't think straight
And i am silenced
And i can't think straight

And it's the best thing
It's the best thing
The best thing
Such a beautiful feeling

Threw my bad fortune
Of the top of
A tall building
I'd rather have done it with you
Your boy's smile
Five in the morning
Looked into your eyes
And i was really in love

In chinatown
Hung over
You showed me
Just what i could do
Talking about
Time travel
And the meaning
Just what it was worth

And i feel like
Some bird of paradise
My bad fortune slipping away
And i feel the
Innocence of a child
Everybody's got something good to say

Things i once thought
Unbelievable
In my life
Have all taken place
When we walked through
Little italy
I saw my reflection
Come right of your face

I paint pictures
To remember
You're too beautiful
To put into words
Like a gypsy
You dance in circles
All around me
And all over the world

And i feel like
Some bird of paradise
My bad fortune slipping away
And i feel the
Innocence of a child
Everybody's got something good to say

So i take my
Good fortune
And i fantasize
Of our leaving
Like some modern-day
Gypsy landslide
Like some modern day
Bonnie and clyde

On the run again
On the run again

I can't believe that life's so complex
When i just want to sit here and watch you undress
I can't believe that life's so complex
When i just want to sit here and watch you undress

This is love, this is love
That i'm feeling
This is love, this is love
That i'm feeling
This is love
That i'm feeling

Does it have to be a life full of dread
I wanna chase you round the table, i wanna touch your head
Does it have to be a life full of dread
I wanna chase you round the table, i wanna touch your head

This is love, this is love
That i'm feeling
This is love, this is love
That i'm feeling
This is love
That i'm feeling

I can't believe that the axis turns on suffering
When you taste so good
I can't believe that the axis turns on suffering
When my head burns

Love, love, love
That i'm feeling
This is love, this is love
That i'm feeling
This is love, love, love
That i'm feeling

Even in the summer
Even in the spring
You can never get too much of
A wonderful thing

You're the only story that i never told
You're my dirty little secret, wanna keep you so
You're the only story that never been told
You're my dirty little secret, wanna keep you so

Come on out, come on over, help me forget
Keep the walls from falling as they're tumbling in
Come on out, come on over, help me forget
Keep the walls from falling on me, tumbling in
Keep the walls from falling as they're tumbling in

This is love, this is love
That i'm feeling
This is love, this is love
That i'm feeling
This is love, this is love
That i'm feeling
This is love, love, love
That i'm feeling

This wicked tongue says
God is a million miles away
This wicked tongue says
He can't see my day to day

This wicked tongue says
Go on, taste everything
And this wicked tongue says
You know you're not really living

And it stares into the sun
And it flies from star to star
Cursing everyone
In my ringing ears

And the noise is as much as i can bear
And the noise is as much as i can bear
And the noise is as much as i can bear
And the noise is as much as i can bear

So i asked her where's the heart?
In the rubbish heap of man
So i asked her where's the soul?
And the silence rang and rang and rang and rang and rang

So i stare into the sun
And i fly from star to star
Cursing everyone
In my ringing ears

And the noise is as much as i can bear
And the noise is as much as i can bear
And the noise is as much as i can bear
And the noise is as much as i can bear

"i give up" he said
"i give up you win"
"creation baby has failed again"
"i give up" he said
"i give up you win"
"creation baby has failed again"
"creation baby has failed again"
"creation baby has failed again"
"creation baby has failed again"
