Just give me a second darling to clear my head
Just put down those scissors baby on this single bedThe sand in the hourglass is running low
I came through thunder, the cold wind, the rain and the snow
To find you awake by your windowsill
A sight for sore eyes and a view to killI broke down in horror at you standing there
The glow from the moon shone through cracks in your hair
I shouted with passion, “I love you so much”
But feeling my skin, it was cold to the touchYou whispered, “Where are you?”
I questioned your doubt
But soon realized you were talking to God nowYou’ve got blood on your hands and I know it’s mine, I just need more time
So get off your low and let’s dance like we used to
But there’s a light in the distance waiting for me, I will wait for you
So get off your low, let’s kiss like we used toI looked in the mirror but something was wrong
I saw you behind but my reflection was gone
There was smoke in the fireplace as white as the snow
A voice beckoned gently, now it’s time to goA requiem played as you begged for forgiveness
“Don’t touch me”, I screamed
“I’ve got unfinished business”You’ve got blood on your hands and I know it’s mine, I just need more time
So get off your low and let’s dance like we used to
But there’s a light in the distance waiting for me, I will wait for you
So get off your low, let’s kiss like we used toYou’ve got blood on your hands and I know it’s mine, I just need more time
So get off your low and let’s dance like we used to
But there’s a light in the distance waiting for me, I will wait for you
So get off your low, let’s kiss like we used to -
optimism,
optimism perished from the face of my earth
and then you came along, came along and swept me away,
she kissed me, as we stood on the edge,
the night made the day as we made for the bridge
it started raining hard, and i saw we may live to regretno i never really understood
no i never really understood why,
because i’ve never been given,
never been given two tries,
no i never really understood,
understood why…pessimism,
pessimism perished from the face of my earth,
and then you came along, came along and swept me away,
did you miss me? did you miss me as we walked
through the pain, attached the chain so you could
see me again
i started asking myself, did i teach you right?no i never really understood
no i never really understood why,
because i’ve never been given,
never been given two tries,
no i never really understood,
understood why…understood why…
you came to me, you broke the bonds,
you set me free
and then the love that you promised me
came a tumblin’ tumblin’ tumblin’ down
into my hands…no i never really understood
no i never really understood why,
because i’ve never been given,
never been given two tries,
no i never really understood,
understood why…so teacher teach me…

Don’t take this the wrong way
You knew who I was with every step that I ran to you
Only blue or black days
Electing strange perfections in any stranger I chooseWould things be easier if there was a right way?
Honey there is no right wayAnd so I fall in love just a little ol’ little bit
Every day with someone new
I fall in love just a little ol’ little bit every day with someone new
I fall in love just a little ol’ little bit every day with someone new
I fall in love just a little ol’ little bit every day with someone newThere’s an art to life’s distractions
To somehow escapes the burning weight, the art of scraping through
Some like to imagine
The dark caress of someone else, I guess any thrill will doWould things be easier if there was a right way?
Honey there is no right wayAnd so I fall in love just a little ol’ little bit
Every day with someone new
I fall in love just a little ol’ little bit every day with someone new
I fall in love just a little ol’ little bit every day with someone new
I fall in love just a little ol’ little bit every day with someone newI wake at the first crink of morning
And my heart’s already sinned
How pure, how sweet a love, Aretha, that you would pray for him?‘Cause God knows I fall in love just a little ol’ little bit
Every day with someone new
I fall in love just a little ol’ little bit every day with someone new
I fall in love just a little ol’ little bit every day with someone new
I fall in love just a little ol’ little bit every day with someone new
I fall in love just a little ol’ little bit every day with someone new
I fall in love just a little ol’ little bit every dayLove with every stranger the stranger the better
Love with every stranger the stranger the better
Love with every stranger the stranger the better
Love with every stranger the stranger the betterI fall in love just a little ol’ little bit every day with someone new
I fall in love just a little ol’ little bit every day with someone new
I fall in love just a little ol’ little bit every day with someone new
I fall in love just a little ol’ little bit every day with someone new -
I saw your eyes
And you made me smile
For a little while
I was falling in loveI saw your eyes
And you touched my mind
Although it took a while
I was falling in loveI was falling in love
I saw your eyes
And you made me cry
And for a little while
I was falling in loveI was falling in love
Falling in love
Falling in love
Falling in love
Falling in love -
Stop making the eyes at me
I’ll stop making the eyes at you
What it is that surprises me
Is that I don’t really want you toAnd your shoulders are frozen (cold as the night)
Oh, but you’re an explosion (you’re dynamite)
Your name isn’t Rio, but I don’t care for sand
And lighting the fuse might result in a bang, b-b-bang-ohI bet that you look good on the dance floor
I don’t know if you’re looking for romance or
I don’t know what you’re looking for
I said, I bet that you look good on the dance floor
Dancing to electro-pop like a robot from 1984
Well, from 1984I wish you’d stop ignoring me
Because you’re sending me to despair
Without a sound, yeah, you’re calling me
And I don’t think it’s very fairThat your shoulders are frozen (cold as the night)
Oh, but you’re an explosion (you’re dynamite)
Your name isn’t Rio, but I don’t care for sand
And lighting the fuse might result in a bang, b-b-bang-ohI bet that you look good on the dance floor
I don’t know if you’re looking for romance or
I don’t know what you’re looking for
I said, I bet that you look good on the dance floor
Dancing to electro-pop like a robot from 1984
Well, from 1984Oh, there ain’t no love, no Montagues or Capulets
Just banging tunes and DJ sets and
Dirty dance floors and dreams of naughtinessWell, I bet that you look good on the dance floor
I don’t know if you’re looking for romance or
I don’t know what you’re looking for
I said, I bet that you look good on the dance floor
Dancing to electro-pop like a robot from 1984
Said, from 1984 -
It’s a fine line between courage and fear
You can’t see the ghosts, but you know that they’re here
Blame it on the sinners, blame it on saints
Blame it on the pills, you‘re pouring down the drain
Blame it on the truth, lights you tracked away
Blame it on the pressure, but all we want is pain
Didn’t see you coming, didn’t see the signs
Didn’t see tomorrow stare right in my eyesI, I never ask why the wicked live and the good ones die
Time, time ran out of time, we all kill to survive
I would take a bullet for you, my heart is made of stone
I would take a bullet for you
Bullet, bullet, bullet, bullet, bullet
I would take a bullet for you
Bullet, bullet, bullet, bullet
My heart is made of stone
Bullet, bullet, bullet, bullet, bullet
I would take a bullet for you
Bullet, bullet, bullet, bullet, bulletBlame the politicians, the corporations too
Blame it on the immigrants, cuz they dont look like you
Blame it on the money, blame it on the fame
Blame it on the love and fools that play that game
Blame it on your mother, cuz daddy walked away
You can keep on running, but you can’t them make ‘em stay
Blame it on the drummer, said one, two, three
Marching down the hallway, coming after meI, I never ask why the wicked live and the good ones die
Time, time ran out of time, we all kill to survive
I would take a bullet for you, my heart is made of stone
I would take a bullet for you
Bullet, bullet, bullet, bullet, bullet
I would take a bullet for you
Bullet, bullet, bullet, bullet, bullet
My heart is made of stone
Bullet, bullet, bullet, bullet, bullet
I would take a bullet for you
Bullet, bullet, bullet, bullet, bullet, bullet
My heart is made of stoneI, I never ask why the wicked live and the good ones die
Time, time we’re out of time, we all kill to survive -
Bury me with a sword, with a chain and ache
I’m alive with the flyers, with the flames at stake
To be gone in a thought that’s arranged by you
To be formed by a shape that’s innate of youI will wake from the rain from the light of you
Take a knife to my chest, I’m alive by youOoh, ooh, ooh, my witness
Ooh, ooh, ooh, my witnessMake the fall, take the fire
Fuck the law nicely
Tint it all with desire
Shape the form I seeI’m alive with a knife, with a wife in me
I’m a crane looking out at the hypocrisyOoh, ooh, my witness
Ooh, ooh, ooh, my witnessTake the sting from the sky
Make their love in an eye
Take the sting from the sky
Make their love in an eye
Take the sting from the skyOoh, ooh, ooh, my witness
Ooh, ooh, ooh, my witnessTake your wars of your faiths
Of your bitterness, please
Take your wars of your faiths
Of your ignorance and leaveI will wake from the rain from the light of you
Take a knife to my chest, I’m alive by youOoh, ooh, my witness
Ooh, ooh, ooh, my witnessTake the sting from the sky
Make their love in an eye
Take the sting from the sky
Make their love in an eye
Take the sting from the sky -
Whole stage is set like always
Won’t be long before I’m gone
See them coming through the doorway
Wonderin’ whose side they are on
So I take one shot in the darkness
And move alongI was on the way to Memphis
Got no love from Caroline
How much longer can I do this?
Leaving half my heart behind
It takes one shot in the darkness
To change my mindAnd the years are passing by me
Oh, the years are running on
The fire below is coming and it won’t be longGot enough left just to get there
Not enough to make it through
If I cannot live without this
I don’t know what I’m gonna do
So I’ll take one more shot in the darkness
Aim for you
Oh, I’ll take one more shot in the darkness
Ooh -

Don’t ask me
What you know is true
Don’t have to tell you
I love your precious heartI
I was standing
You were there
Two worlds collided
And they could never tear us apartWe could live
For a thousand years
But if I hurt you
I’d make wine from your tearsI told you
That we could fly
‘Cause we all have wings
But some of us don’t know whyI was standing
You were there
Two worlds collided
And they could never, ever tear us apartI (Don’t ask me)
I was standing (You know it’s true)
Mm, you were there (Worlds collided)
Two worlds collided (We’re shining through)
And they could never tear us apartYou (Don’t ask me)
You were standing (You know it’s true)
I was there (Worlds collided)
Two worlds collided (We’re shining through)
And they could never tear us apartI-I-I
I was standing
You were there
