Picture yourself in a boat on a river.
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies. Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly...
I'm having trouble trying to sleep
I'm counting sheep but running out
As time ticks by
And still I try
No rest for crosstops in my mind
On my own, here we go
My eyes feel like they're gonna bleed
Dried up and bulging out my skull
My mouth is dry
My face is numb
Fucked up and spun out in my room
On my own, here we go
Fools, said I
You do not know, silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I may might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you
But my words, like silent raindrops feel
And echoed, the sound of silence
One of the greatest ever!
This is not the way you should see me
This is not the face I recognize
Could I lay my head down here for a moment
Would you sing to me like I'm your child
Cause I'm not angry, I'm not crying
I'm just in over my head
You could be the angel that stayed on my shoulder
When all of the other angels left
I'm O.K.
I finally found the person I've been searching for
I'm alright
I'm feeling good about myself and that's for sure
'Cause I believed them when they said I must do things their way,
They tried to cast me in their mold
But I just had to say,
That I'm O.K.
I'm O.K. this way yes I'm O.K. Yes I'm OK!
I'd sing it at Karaoke, but I haven't found a DJ who has it.
"Life is just a fantasy, can you live the fantasy life?"
Love it!
Got some black coffee
Smokin' cigarette
I keep reaching for the future
Ain't got there yet.
In my mind I'm gone to Carolina
Can't you see the sunshine?
Can't you just feel the moonshine?
Ain't it just like a friend of mine
To hit me from behind?
Yes, I'm gone to Carolina in my mind .... And I've yet to go there.
You run, run, run away
It's your heart that you betray
Feeding on your hungry eyes
I bet you're not so civilized
Well, isn't love primitive
A wild gift that you want to give
Break out of captivity
And follow me stereo jungle child
Love is the kill
You're heart's still wild
Shooting at the walls of heartache bang, bang
I am the warrior
Well, I am the warrior
And heart to heart you'll win
If you survive, the warrior, the warrior
I'm my world of sleepers
All will be erased
I'll be your religion
Your only endless ideal
Slowly we'll crawl
Swallowed by the seductive night
My torch.....has burnt out.
Everything I do is judged, and they mostly get it wrong, but oh well; the bathroom mirror has not budged and the woman who lives there can tell/the truth from the stuff that they say, she looks me in the eye/and says would you prefer the easy way? No? Well okay then, don't cry.
