Going Out Again
We’re going out again
Just to find
If I stayed at home
I could lose my mind
I’m out the door
Down the street
Grab a cab
So many there to meet
I know I will be there
with the boys and girls from anywhere
So follow if you dare
Cus we’re going out again
It must be love
You gave me something I was dreaming of
I won’t be glib
Or indiscreet
Just disconnect my feelings
From your sleeve
I almost turned around
But I fell in love with many sounds
That will not fade away
And we’re going out again
Don’t you know I walked away in silence
And you probably did the same
Yesterday I wasn’t so reliant
Now you know I’m gonna break down?
And go out again
I always seem to say
That I’ll stay in bed for many days
But I can’t keep away
And we’re going out again
We’re going out again
Turning On Blue
Merry Christmas on the telephone
Hold the line before you dial
And make it worthwhile
Got of lot of what’s coming to me
In the interim won’t you smile
And tell me you’re alive too
And I’ll meet you on the boulevard
If not on Sunday then on Monday
Then you tell me it’s another day
Where the world can show you nothing
Now you’re turning on blue
Down at Lulu’s there’s a holocaust
How did I get so uninspired
To let it fall through
Three o’clock you’re in the tiled room
The only place you know right now is
Coming back to haunt you
We can make it if we hurry now
Before the last few hours come calling
And I guess I know the reasons why
You will stay forever lost inside you’re
Turning on blue
With all we’ve been through
They’re so glad you made it
If only I could trade it
In for something else I need it now
My infatuation could be your frustration
At any moment now I will come round to
Turning on blue
It’s all I can do
April showers on the face card
Tell the gypsy you’ll be back
To hit the road Jack
Roaring on to find a clipper ship
There’s a blinking light ahead
But don’t pass go, go on through
And I’ll meet you on the boulevard
If not on Sunday then on Monday
Then you tell me it’s another day
Where the world can show me nothing
Now I’m
Turning on blue
With all we’ve been through
Turning on blue
It’s all I can do
Today and Tomorrow
Crying at the movies
Laughing in the news
Show me entertainment I’ve already used
Like a revolver
Smoking from a round
You hit me with the world from which
I’ve already drowned
In my time of trying
I wondered why you lied to me then
Blood bells rang aloud until I heard the call
Now clashing worlds are trying to
Harmonize in your eyes
Waiting for a sign that’s far away like
Today and tomorrow
Christ on the postcard
Christ on the phone
All the lies that find you now
You’ve got to let them go
Nothing but a memory
Nothing left to feel
Just paralyzing moments
That I can reveal
So send me something I can idolize
Or despise
When we’re all alone we’re far away
Like today and tomorrow
If there’s a hush heard all the while
Don’t let it bring you down
Blow a candle out in style
And if you break with feelings gone forever
Then you’re lying
In my time of trying
I wondered why you lied to me then
Blood bells rang aloud and then I heard the call
Now clashing worlds are trying to
Harmonize in your eyes
Waiting for a sign that far away
Like today and tomorrow
Your Heart Beats Alone
Wasting my time, you think I’m out of line
I wanted to see how much I really could take this time
If you remember how you remember a thought will cling
Go to sleep now cos you can blame no one for anything
Although the silence won’t be known
Tonight your heart beats alone
And they say I’m drawn to the very same thing
Unlike the prophet who sees only stars worth remembering
Calling all souls who follow their footsteps to a bitter end
Resolute now you’ve got to begin to begin again
At the dawn you’re over the unknown
Tonight your heart beats alone
Chase away your reasons for disdain
Nobody can hear you when you’re sane
With the pain comes the rain
Although the silence won’t be known
Tonight your heart beats alone
If You’re Getting Married Tonight
If you’re getting married tonight
I really hope you know all that’s true
There’s another road in the light
That draws me away from you
So take your foolish pride and go on
You’ve made it clear through all your tears
There’s no denying
If you’re getting married tonight I really hope he loves you
Chances come and go as you run through everyone’s avenue
Far be it from me to advise so I’ll leave it all up to you
And though our Saturdays are over now
There’s still some time to rectify our lives together
If you’re getting married tonight I really hope he loves you
And though our Saturdays are over now
There’s still some time to rectify our lives together
If you’re getting married tonight I really hope he loves you
And if you’re getting married tonight I think you know I love you
On The Runway
On the runway
I listened and lied
A solitary sigh
On the runway
A quiet man who sees
The desperate fire in me
And if I could write these letters in the air
I would tell my story for everyone to share
You were there
On the runway
I’m not too far from home
They’ll listen by the phone
On the runway
Immortality
Will soon be haunting me
Now there’s no relief from pills and alcohol
By the same token I’ll know you’ll hear my call
After all
On the runway
You wait for change and you will find
You’re not alone
There’s no time for remorse now
If I could go back
I know I’d do everything the same
And if I could write these letter in the air
I would tell my story for everyone to share
You were there
On the runway
We Started Over Again
Until we started over again
I fell upon a world so strong
But nothing you could draw upon
Doesn’t it make you wonder where the truth lies
We woke anew to rendezvous
But we’ll look back before we’re through
Chasing down the days before
You never thought you’d ever feel this way
Until we started over again
I lost my will
I lost the need
To reconcile my friend
Over again
Did something happen to you in your life
I fell upon a world that wasn’t right
In your eyes there’s a light
Be it strange to rearrange
Because nothing can be done by change
Heaven loves to greet you with your dark eyes
We woke anew to rendezvous
But we’ll look back before we’re through
Chasing down the days before
You never thought you’d ever feel this way
Until we started over again
I lost my will
I lost the need
To reconcile my friend
Over again
Silent Town
The day will dawn I guess it’s not my own
Tomorrow’s cries have already been shown
Remember me as I would have been before
But don’t look back, you will not ask for more
Things we’ll never be
In a silent town
Suddenly the ship of fools has gone
Of course it’s not the avenue we’re on
Scenes we’ll never see
In a silent town
Dream eternally
In a silent town
This hold land of treasure
Nothing designed for pleasure
Falling traces of
A world you left behind
You woke up once
You woke up far from home
Gravitating back won’t leave you alone
Things we’ll never be
In a silent town
Scenes we’ll never see
If only love was free
These dreams keep haunting me
In a silent town
Good Thing Going
My tale begins tomorrow
Should I beg steal or borrow
To be free
I’ll meet you at the station
Where you lie in desperation
Endlessly
When trouble fills these times
I’ll lie down by your side
We’ve got a good thing going
If I should get to see you
I’d be glad to say I need you
In this way
I told her that I’d follow
In a world that seemed so hollow
Yesterday
And your world would stay that way
Forever and a day
Don’t throw your love away
We’ve got a good thing going
You’d know that I was lying
If I said I wasn’t trying
To forget about the things that used to be
Forever and a day
Don’t throw your love away
We’ve got a good thing going
When trouble fills these times
I’ll lay down by your side
We’ve got a good thing going
Compromise
I’ve been here before so many times
That I’ve forgotten just what
I really thought we could be
Now I’m falling away in your eyes
I’m watching the way
I’m stuck in this compromise
Sugar said she was through with it all
Now she would do whatever she could
To be free
Did anyone see her demise
Now we’re watching the way
We’re stuck in this compromise
Get out get back
Don’t tell them you’ll make concessions
I thought by now
You’d turn in a new direction
Alone
We’ve been here before so many times that we’ve
Forgotten just what
We really thought we could be
Did anyone see our demise
Now we’re watching the way
We’re stuck in this compromise
You Can’t Wait For Time
Sitting all alone in the dark
You can see the sun
Feeling ever so far apart
I guess you always knew
That I felt this way for you
But you can’t wait for time
Running on but only so far
In a world of blame
Takes me back to see where you are
And if you say it’s true whey do I belong to you
You can’t wait for time
Laughing in the hallway while the preacher stood and read
Trying to uncover all the secrets of the dead
And if you say it’s true
Then I’ll fall in love with you
But you can’t wait for time
You face a world of strangers even though you’d like to be
Among the ones who walked out only wanting to be free
I guess you always knew that I felt this way for you
But you can’t wait for time
Before The Lights Go Down
Spent the morning in the leidsaplane / Leidseplein
When you’re gone you know i feel no pain
Running far away just to be by your side
She left her paycheck in the morning sack
When you lose your love it won’t come back
In an hour you won’t know what you’ll find
When love is true it takes so long
I’ve been dying to feel something this strong
Before the lights go down
If I stay around this feeling that I found
Will only bring me down for a while
Tried to keep the chance of fate intact
When you lose your love you want it back
Holding on to what I feel will surpass
Our love is true it takes so long
I’ve been dying to feel something this strong
Before the lights go down
If I stayed around this feeling that I found
Will only bring me down for a while
To cross the ocean in a world so black
Linger on until you can’t go back
Dangerously waiting for something new
Our love is true it takes so long
I’ve been dying to feel something this strong
Before the lights go down
If I stayed around to follow you
This feeling that I found
Will only bring me down
It’s worth falling down
To get back on the ground for a while
