I will sign the form today
to give my life away
And hand in my resignation
from the excavation of my soul
There's just one thing I need to know
How much dirt will it take to fill the hole
Cos we're all just trying to fill the hole
We're all just trying to fill the hole
I will shake the hand today that once led me astray
And start to forget the world I knew
when I never played no roles
There's just one thing I need to know
How much dirt will it take to fill the hole
Cos we're all just trying to fill the hole
We're all just trying to fill the hole
There must be something in the water supply today
All the people's faces are turning grey
They fade into one another
to form a great grey wall of silence
And they're all just trying to fill the hole
They're all just trying to fill the hole
Cos we're all just trying to fill the hole
We're all just trying to fill the hole
I will sign the form today
to give my life away
And hand in my resignation
from the excavation of my soul
There's just one thing I need to know..

You cannot take my love from me
You cannot break my destiny
I will not be manipulated
Turn out the lights, but my eyes still see
I won't turn a blind eye
a blind eye
a blind eye
a blind eye
You cannot shake my soul desire
You cannot break my mind with lies
And if you set my house on fire
Instead I'll sleep beneath a starry sky
I won't turn a blind eye
a blind eye
a blind eye
a blind eye

Stand and deliver
One liner man
You shake and quiver
How much can you stand
I'll cook it up for a month
Till I'm down on my luck
I'm 'a eat ya for lunch
Cook it, baby
What did I do
With just one look I ran you through
Blood on the ground
With just one line I shot you down
Like a bullet
Straight to your heart
Right from the start
It's getting bigger and bigger
I'll cook it up for a month
Till I'm down on my luck
I'm 'a eat ya for lunch
Cook it, baby
What did I do
With just one look I ran you through
Blood on the ground
With just one line I shot you down (x 2)
Stand and deliver
One liner man
You shake and quiver
How much can you stand
What did I do
With just one look I ran you through
Blood on the ground
With just one line I shot you down (x 2)

Dancing on my own grave
How strange a thing to be saved
A boy with little understanding
Walking in the shadow of a man
waiting for a break in the rain
To walk into the sunny street again
A boy whose feet are unaccustomed
To walking in the shoes of a man
Praying for one more sweet breath
Weighing up the price of forgiveness
Laying in one more sweet mess
Weighing up the price of forgiveness
Oh my god, what have I done
Oh my sweet lord, what have I become
Dancing on my own grave
With strangers and the things we've saved
Trying to find a little understanding
Working on a subtle kind of plan
Waiting for a crack in the door
To find out what the hell we came here for
A boy whose spirit's unaccustomed
To waking in the life of a man
Praying for loving sweetness
Weighing up a move towards forgiveness
Laying in one more sweet mess
Weighing up the price of forgiveness
Oh my god, what have I done
Oh my sweet lord, what have I become (x 2)
Dancing on my own grave
How strange a thing to be saved
A boy wit little understanding
Walking in the shadow of a man

I could have sworn I heard a tune
Coming from the river's edge
And blowing 'cross them old sand dunes
Beneath the shifting rhythms of the moon
I could have sworn the voice was yours
Black feathers falling from the sky
I should have known the choice was yours
Just as I know the choice us mine
Strange bird, fly away
Song bird, fly my way
Strange bird, fly away
Song bird, fly today
Do not fear the lake my love
Fear not the devils hand
I'll re-arrange the stones for you
Down upon the shifting desert sands
Strange bird, fly away
Song bird, fly my way
Strange bird, fly away
Song bird, fly today
I could have sworn I heard a tune
Coming from the river's edge
And blowing 'cross them old sand dunes
Beneath the shifting rhythms of the moon
Strange bird, fly away
Song bird, fly my way
Strange bird, fly away
Song bird, fly today

Want you to know your a beautiful girl
Born of a woman but not of this world
Want you to know my intentions are good
Emotions are easily misunderstood
Not gonna let you get away
Not gonna let you get away
This time
Want to remember the beautiful days
Lord I am grateful in so many ways
Walk with me baby, into the great unknown
Beautiful woman, don't leave me alone
Not gonna let you get away
Not gonna let you get away
This time (x 3)

I want to tell you
But I've got dirt on the tip of my tongue
I don't want to hurt you
I just want to break every one of your toys
I want to believe you
But all your lies seem to be choking my airways
I don't want to defeat you
There's just one thing that I want you to do
Take all the pieces out
And turn the puzzle upside-down (x 2)
It's time to celebrate this waste of space
Trying to see you
Is making me blind with confusion and lies
I don't want to free you
I just want to mess with the secrets inside
So much for dreaming
The trouble I find is distorting my mind
I don't want to be king
There's just one thing that I'm trying to do
Take all the pieces out
And turn the puzzle upside-down (x 2)
It's time to celebrate this waste of space
Take all the pieces out
And turn the puzzle upside-down (x 2)
It's time to celebrate this waste of space
Take all the pieces out
And turn the puzzle upside-down (x 2)
It's time to celebrate this waste of space

Call me hypocrite
Call me filthy Liar
Tell me something baby
Aint you never changed your mind
Call me fallen angel
I'm flying through the fire
I'm so sorry but your halo
Has fallen off of your angel
Halo, has fallen down to the ground
Halo, has fallen off of your angel
Cos you've been messing around
Living under cover of a mask
How long you think this shit is gonna last
Your demons living in the future
Your conscience living in the past
I'm so sorry but your halo
Has fallen off of your angel
Halo, has fallen down to the ground
Halo, has fallen off of your angel
Cos you've been messing around
I'm so sorry but your halo
Has fallen off of your angel
Halo, has fallen down to the ground
Halo, your Halo
Call me hypocrite
Call me filthy Liar
Tell me something baby
Aint you never changed your mind
I'm so sorry but your halo
Has fallen off of your angel
Halo, has fallen down to the ground
Halo, has fallen off of your angel
Cos I've been messing around
Halo...

Down town in the city of plenty
Where the glasses are empty
And the street lights are burning green
I find you and I want to remind you
Remind you that there's only one way home
And I will follow you
If you want me to
Upstream where the water is clean
And the fishes are dreaming
'Bout growing up in the sea
Well they're dreaming but there's always believing
Cos believing helps
To set your soul at ease
And I will follow you
If you want me to
And you can follow me
Down stream to the heavenly sea
Downtown in the city of sound
Where the children are found
They're always feeling so alone
On they're silvery thrones
How I wish they would know
There's only one way home
And I will follow you
If you want me to
And you can follow me
Down stream to the heavenly sea
Oh yeah I will follow you
If you want me to (x 2)

There's a room in a house where we once felt safe
There's a comfortable embrace
There's a thing that must be done
But it cannot be seen by anyone but us
There's a tale that must be told
About a will to leave when the body's old
And the only thing to say is
Don't wait up for me
I'm never coming home
There's a boy that we used to know
With a giant heart and a loving soul
There's a thing that we need to know
That a soul will tell you when it's time to go
And he knows, he said
Don't wait up for me
I'm never coming home
And he flew away
There's a sound coming from outside
And I'm feeling scared just like a little child
Ooh.. Cos I know
He's never coming home

Everything is rolling
on a psychedelic ocean in the sky
Drink a little potion,
don't be frightened by the notion that you'll die
I don't know how to draw the line
Cos the lines keep shifting and it's so hard to define
I don't know how to draw the line
Cos the lines keep shifting and I'm singing out of time
The minute, the moment
The promise, the token
The sorrow, the spirit
The promise is broken
The limit, the hour
The centre of power
The mirror, the mic
And the truth to be spoken
I don't know how to draw the line
Cos the lines keep shifting and it's so hard to define
I don't know how to draw the line
Cos the lines keep shifting and I'm singing out of time

What do you know
When you don't know why you do the things you do
What can you say
When you don't believe the promises you make
Why do you want to run away
From your only saving grace
What can you save
When the only thing protected is your face
I've got that look in my eye
And we both know what that means
I'd better not go to the border town tonight
I've got that feeling again
And we both know what that means
God damn, what I wouldn't give now
For a second chance dance
With the devil, in a ball of light
How do you know
When you've gone to far and never coming home
How can you show someone you love them
When you're dirty in your soul
Why do you have to learn this lesson overtime
It's getting old
How can you ask somebody else
To give you shelter from the cold
I've got that look in my eye
And we both know what that means
I'd better not go to the border town tonight
I've got that feeling again
And we both know what that means
God damn, what I wouldn't give now
For a second chance dance
With the devil, in a ball of light
Ooh Ooh... (bridge section)
I've got that look in my eye
And we both know what that means
I'd better not go to the border town tonight
I've got that feeling again
And we both know what that means
God damn, what I wouldn't give now
For a second chance dance
With the devil, in a ball of light x 2

Are we living
This lifetime again and again
From end to beginning
From beginning to end
Shame shame shame
From end to beginning
Shame shame shame
It's beginning to end
Shame shame shame
It's a fools game x 2
Apathetic pilgrims
Marching on the spot
God will not find us
Death will not divide us
Shame shame shame
we are drowning in our
shame
Shame shame shame
It's a fools game x 2
Ah ah (bridge section)
Shame shame shame
It's a fools game x 2
