You’re cold
You’re like a city
Your ice embraces me with pity
Reminding you and me
Of all the space between us
Casting shadows over what we had
You’re like the Arctic
You’re like the sea
And I’m the midnight sun
There is this vastness
And when I breathe
The frost envelops me
No, it’s not so simple
It’s not so calm
No, it’s not so pretty
It’s not so cool
Casting shadows over what we had
You’re like the Arctic
You’re like the sea
And I’m the midnight sun
There is this vastness
And when I breathe
The frost envelops me
The frost envelops me
It’s not so pretty
It’s not so cool
Casting shadows over what we had
You’re like the Arctic
You’re like the sea
And I’m the midnight sun
There is this vastness
And when I breathe
The frost envelops me
You’re like the Arctic
You’re like the sea
And I'm the midnight sun
There is this vastness
And when I breathe
The frost envelops me
You’re like the Arctic
The frost envelops me
You’re like the Arctic
And I’m the midnight sun
There is this vastness
And when I breathe
The frost envelops me
You’re like the Arctic
The frost envelops me
The frost envelops me
You’re like the Arctic
When I breathed
The crystals stifled me

Secret

I know you’re a junkie
Everybody knows you’re…
I know you’re a junkie
Everybody knows
I know all your secrets
Everybody knows your secrets
I know all your secrets
Everybody knows secrets
Your mind…a sign
Once upon a time
Somewhere in your mind now
Somewhere in your mind
It's glass, it's green
Somewhere back in time, love
Somewhere back in time
Love
Ever seen the ways to dust, to dust?
Now I know you're a junkie
Everybody knows you're a junkie
I know you're a junkie
Everybody knows, everybody knows
See it written across your arms
I see it written across your face
It says in big black letters
Silver has a lining
All the worlds colliding now, wow
All who hold the secret
Everyone is feeling glad, sad
(We don't have to look far)
All my ways to wake up
All my pills to fall asleep, asleep
All the ways to be wise
All the time a B-line
To ease the disease
Now I know you're a junkie
I know you’re a junkie
Everybody knows you're a junkie
Everybody knows, everybody knows
I know you're a junkie
I know you’re a junkie
Everybody knows you're a junkie
Everybody knows, everybody knows
See you look divided
See you look so heavy now, wow
All your moves so gently
Gliding then they move away, hey
Never mind the secret
Speak a little louder and yell, yell
Feel your little body
Get a little closer to now, now
It written across your face I see it written across
Your face I see it written across your arms
I see you had a blast
I see a shot of glass
I hear you screaming now
I know you're a junkie
Everybody knows you're a junkie
I know you're a junkie
Everybody knows, everybody knows

No One’s Idol
03:38
|
|||
|
Am I burning Out or burning bright?
Here I stand alone in the light
Gotta stop and take a stand
I am not just a singer in a band
I can play the star
Yeah, I want to go far
I can't afford to pay this toll
There ain't no price tag on my soul
I would rather be no one's idol
than to feel the way I do
In a world of make believe
It ain't way easy to know what's true
I never meant to hurt you
Certainly not desert you,
Didn't mean to be a stranger
I had to keep you from danger
What can I gain in this game of fame?
I was wrong and I was vain
All this pomp and this circumstance
Can you forget and give another chance?
I would rather be no one's idol
than to feel the way I do
In a world of make believe
It ain't way easy to know what's true

All Figured out

ALL FIGURED OUT
All figured out
I’ve got it all figured out
Play it in time
I’ll say it in rhyme
Locked in a zoo
Tell me what did you do
See you in a cage
I’m sure it’s just a phase
Blue could be the color of the water
Red may be the color of your car
But if I must apply the spectrum to you
Your aura is divine and you’ll go far
Down to the wire
How could you call me a liar
Toe in the water
You make a big splash
What did you do
Tell me what you’ve been through
All figured out
I’ve got it all figured out
Blue could be the color of the water
Red may be the color of your car
But if I must apply the spectrum to you
Your aura is divine and you’ll go far
All figured out
All figured out
All figured out
You once found love
But it slipped through your hands
It wasn’t your fault
It was all her demands
But those days are over
Blue could be the color of the water
Red may be the color of your car
But if I must apply the spectrum to you
Your aura is divine and you’ll go far
All figured out
All figured out
All figured out
You’ve got it figured out
You’ve got it figured out
Those days are over

Little Nature

Everyone is equal
That man's insane
We've got better judgement
He's got no brain
We know it's right when he gets confused
About the things that must be true
So then there's gotta be something missing
Funny little nature
The people kind
Always so much wiser
Just watch the crime
Everything I know
I don't comprehend
Everything I know
I don't comprehend
We know it's right when he gets confused
About the things that must be true
So then there's gotta be something missing
Everything I know
I don't comprehend
Everything I know
I don't comprehend
Everything I know...
"You're crazy"
"So crazy"
Everything I know
I don't know for sure
Everything I know
I don't know for sure
"You're crazy"
"So crazy"

Monolithic
03:50

|
It was a tricky situation
But what could you've done?
Those monolithic structures
Had a life of their own
You gravitated nowhere
The ground beneath was soft
You needed some adventure
Anything at all
You dreamt of destruction
Fire all around
Your blood was boiling hot
But you could make no sound
The concrete was concrete
Circa 1962
And you had to be discrete
What else could you do, do, do?
Watch that umbrella
You're not Cinderella
No matter what the weather
The other side is better
It was a tricky situation
But what could you've done?
Those monolithic structures
Never come undone
The concrete was concrete
Circa 1962
And you had to be discrete
What else could you do, do, do?
Watch that umbrella
You're not Cinderella
No matter what the weather
The other side is better
Watch that umbrella
You're not Cinderella
No matter what the weather
The other side is better

Train
05:02
|

|
All the flowers fade away
They slow down
And the trains roll past the gate
Must slow down
Gaze at the fields that
Whiz by the window
Watch the bird fly
Way overhead
It's confined
Train... roll me along
Feel the horse on a carousel
It unwinds
All your dreams fall into place
They unwind
Watch the bird fly
Way overhead
Way overhead
Train...
Train...

Three Wishes

Three wishes have I
The first's a secret
The second one lay in my heart
The third one is for you
Three wishes have I
Air... air everywhere...
Sky high...
Well, I blew out all
Of my sixteen candles
I blew them all away
Three wishes have I

Rain on Me
03:15

Rain on me
I'm drying out, oh can't you see?
Water me
Before I wilt and go to seed
Come on rain on me
Just pour it all at once
Come on rain on me
Strike like thunder over me
In the sand
No shade to shelter me
Have no plan
I'm waiting for you desperately
Come on rain on me
Just pour it all at once
Come on rain on me
Strike like thunder over me
Come on rain on me
I'm ready for all you've got
Come help me be
All that I have ever dreamed of
And now you're picking up the pieces
As if I am shattered glass
You turn your back and blow me kisses
Like I'm from the past
Rain on me
I'm drying out, oh can't you see?
Water me
Before I wilt and go to seed
Come on rain on me
Come on rain on me
Come on rain on me
Rain on me
Rain on me

Paper Dolls
03:22
|

|
She called me on the telephone
She said “Come on over to my house
I’ve got something we can play with”
Oh no, I’m not interested
I know what you wanna play with
You’ve got those paper cut-out dolls
It’s coming off the presses
It’s coming off the streets
Kenneth and Barbie on layered sheets
I don’t like to play with those dolls
I don’t like to play with paper dolls
Now, let me tell you why
Cause when I play with those paper dolls
They get between my fingers and they hurt
I don’t like to play with paper
I just like it on my walls
Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!
Paper’s between my fingers
Oh, and it burns
Oh, I need a new word for "ouch"
Between my digits, oh gidget, you’re such a fidget
You hurt when you play with those things
I like plastic, I like plastic, I like plastic dolls
Ouch, get away from my paper dolls
Get away from my paper Ken and Barbie…
Oooh mommy, I don’t like to play with paper dolls
I want my plastic
Ouch, I want my plastic
