Our Lady Peace lyrics
Album: Spiritual Machines [2001]
| R.K. Intro | |
|
The age of spiritual machines.
Ten to fifteen billion years ago, the universe was born
|
| Right Behind You (Mafia) | |
|
You haven't seen the world outside for days
You sleep, you hope, you wait
Imagination disappears
And all the dreams you have you save
Confrontation like a mirror
They try to take your mind away
I don't know, but I believe in yesterday
And what it means
To bleed and know that you're okay
Are you waiting?
No matter what you say
No matter what you do
No matter what, I'm always right there behind you [x2]
Bombarded by the atmosphere
You breath, you choke, you breath again
Conversation disappears
You realize they're not your friends
The panic of the future rears
You dig, you jerk
You find another way
I don't know, but I believe in yesterday
And what it means
To bleed and know that you're okay
Are you waiting?
No matter what you say
No matter what you do
No matter what, I'm always right there behind you
No matter what you say
No matter what you do
No matter what, I'm always right there behind you
You open up my veins now i dont feel the same
no no no
You open up my brain but i wont be replaced
No matter what you say
No matter what you do
No matter what I'm always right there behind you [x4]

| R.K. 2029 | |
|
The year is 2029.
The machines will convince us that they are conscious, that they
have their own agenda worthy of our respect.
They'll embody human qualities and
claim to be human, and we'll believe them
|
| In Repair | |
|
Well it's good to know that you'll be okay
I've been waiting for this
And I'll be there to sit while you pray
No one's blaming me
I'm not supposed to wait
When they open up your heart
(chorus)
Oh i, I have been good
I understood
Like a machine I'll fix you from the start
I'm in repair
Life that we share
I know that I'll be lost and
But we're always in repair.
Lock the door (6x)
And it's good to know that you'll drive away
From this car crash nightmare
And I'll be there to help you again
There's no danger
We're just killing time again
When they order up new parts
Chorus
Take this time to figure it out
The wise, the views the things that you doubt
The air, the earth the metal the mouth
The something, something, something
Chorus (2x)
Lock the door (til fades away)

| Life | |
|
How many times have you been pushed around?
Was anybody there?
Does anybody care?
How many time have your friends let you down?
Was anybody there?
Did anybody stare?
How many time have your friends let you down?
Just open up your heart
Just open up your mind
How many times has your faith slipped away?
Well, is anybody safe?
Does anybody pray?
Oh, life is waiting for you
So messed up, but we're alive
Oh, life is waiting for you
So messed up, but we'll survive
How many days have you just slept away?
Is everybody high?
Is everyone afraid?
How many times have you wished you were strong?
Have they ever seen your heart?
Have they ever seen your pain?
Oh, life is waiting for you
So messed up, but we're alive
Oh, life is waiting for you
So messed up, but we'll survive
She gets high
She gets lost
She gets drowned by the cost
Twice a day, every week, and all of life
She gets high
She gets lost
She gets drowned by the cost
Twice a day, every week, and all of life
Oh, life is waiting for you
So messed up, but we're alive
Oh, life is waiting for you
So messed up, but we'll survive
All messed up, but we'll survive.

| Middle of Yesterday | |
|
You feel the love
You feel the past
It's all the things you thought you had
Oh, well I woke up in hell today
I woke up depressed and drained
And that's ok cause
I promise not to hurt you again
Apparently I'm to blame
But apparently I've been framed
By a memory that won't help me
When it's happening
Out of the mind
Out of the soul
Out of the light
Out of control
Standing in the middle of yesterday
When it all went wrong
And we made mistakes
I'm sorry for the things I forgot to say
But it won't be long
And it値l be ok
Oh, I promised you I would change
I'm an asshole, and I'm ashamed
And I'm upset 'cause I betrayed
Everything that you gave
Will you ever let me explain?
Can I beg you to let me stay
Don稚 quit me 'cause
I'll never let this happen
Out of the light
Out of the soul
Out of the mind
Out of control
Standing in the middle of yesterday
When it all went wrong
And we made mistakes
I'm sorry for the things I forgot to say
But it won't be long
And it値l be ok
You feel the love
And you feel the past
It's all the things you thought you had
You feel the love
You feel the past
It's all the things you thought you had
All the things you thought you had
Standing in the middle of yesterday
When it all went wrong
And we made mistakes
I'm sorry for the things I forgot to say
But it won't be long
And it値l be ok
Standing in the middle of yesterday
When it all went wrong
And we made mistakes
I'm sorry for the things I forgot to say
But it won't be long
And it値l be ok
Oh well I値l make it up to you
I値l make it up to you
I値l make it up to you
Oh well I値l make it up to you
I値l make it up to you
I値l make it up to you

and what constitutes being human
|
| Made to Heal | |
|
I gave up on you
And your exercise
And the world that I knew
Then, I fell back on you
Cause I need more time
And I need an excuse
I'm a thief, a liar, an angel in the fire
I'm a king, a drug, the push that comes to shove
I'm a freak, a star, I'm everything you are
I'm your Jesus, I'm your pride
Made to heal
I知 made to heal
I知 made to heal
I知 made to heal
I depend on you
For the wings of life
And the air that you move
And I defended you
For this one last time
For the nerves you abuse
I'm a thief, a liar, an angel in the fire
I'm a king, a drug, the push that comes to shove
I'm a freak, a star, I'm everything you are
I'm your Jesus, I'm your pride
Made to heal
I知 made to heal
I知 made to heal
I知 made to heal
You open up my weight
I知 alone and then
You池e old enough to say
I'm a thief, a liar, an angel in the fire
I'm a king, a drug, the push that comes to shove
I'm a freak, a star, I'm everything you are
I'm your Jesus, Jesus
Made to heal
I知 made to heal
I知 made to heal
I知 made to heal
I'm made to heal
I知 made to heal
I知 made to heal
I知 made to heal

| Everyone's a Junkie | |
|
I'm not waiting for the answers
On a Sunday afternoon
I'm just too drunk to remember
Why I always slip through
The drugs that fake ambition (get the feeling now)
Have been helping me to hide (get the feeling now)
But it's the endless television (get the feeling now)
That has kept me inside
Where does it stop?
Where does it end?
Where do we go?
Why am I always complaining?
I can be good
I can be bad
I can be loved
But everything's gone black
You're looking for that sun
You're looking for that light
Lonely, you're not the only one to feel this way
It's black, you're looking for that sun
You're looking for that light
Lonely, you're not the only one to feel this way
Big green monkey, everyone's a junkie
I'm not asking for forgiveness (get the feeling now)
For the things that I don't know (get the feeling now)
But I'm really not that different (get the feeling now)
You just made me think so
Where does it stop?
Where does it end?
Where do we go?
Why am I always complaining?
I can be good
I can be bad
I can be loved
But everything's gone black
You're looking for that sun
You're looking for that light
Lonely, you're not the only one to feel this way
It痴 black, you're looking for that sun
You're looking for that light
Lonely, you're not the only one to feel this way
And big green monkey, everyone's a junkie
Big green monkey, everyone's a junkie oh oh oh oh
Big green monkey, everyone's a junkie oh oh oh oh
(you fake, you squeal) oh oh oh oh
Big green monkey, everyone's a junkie
(you grow, you quake) oh oh oh oh
Big green monkey, everyone's a junkie
You池e the big green monkey, everyone's a junkie!
Black
You're looking for that sun
You're looking for that light
Lonely, you're not the only one to feel this way
It's black, you're looking for that sun
You're looking for that light
Lonely, you're not the only one to feel this way
And I'll remember this someday
It's black, you're looking for that sun
You're looking for that light
Lonely, you're not the only one to feel this way
It's black, you're looking for that sun
You're looking for that light
Lonely, you're not the only one to feel this way
And big green monkey, everyone's a junkie

| R.K. On Death | |
|
Take death for example.
A great deal of our effort goes into avoiding it.
We make extraordinary efforts to delay it and often consider
its intrusion a tragic event.
Yet we'd find it hard to live without it.
Death gives meaning to our lives. It
gives importance and value to time.
Time would become meaningless if there were too much of it.
If death were indefinitely put off, the human psyche would end
up, well, like the gambler in the "Twilight Zone" episode.

| All My Friends | |
|
All my friends
Alone on a hill
They're just looking down
With violent minds out on loan
They're just not equipped
Insistance
Hope for the best
We池e not making sense in silence
Wait for the day when they're better then
In this silence, I'm not buying
You池e not leaking
You池e not
Guess we壇 better hold on
Again this time
We won't understand again
I'm not waiting for some sense this time
We won't understand again
I'm not waiting for
Still they sit
Alone on a hill
Their mechanical thoughts have left
Out on their own
They're not buying this
In this silence, I'm not buying
You池e not leaking
You池e not
Guess we壇 better hold on
Again this time
We won't understand again
I'm not waiting for the man
This time, we won't understand again
I'm not waiting for
The sense this time
We won't understand again
But I知 not waiting for
The sense this time
We won't understand again
Oh, I知 not waiting for
No no no no
Won't understand again
But, I知 not waiting for
No no no no
Won't understand again
But, I知 not waiting for

| If You Believe | |
|
So you made up your mind
You're tired of trying
Time to be scared
And oh you wanted to fly
You can't close your eyes
Time to beware
But if you believe in the world I'm calling
And if you belong in the world I saw
And if you believe in the world I'm calling
You'd be strong
So you wasted your time
You willed it goodbye
Time to be scared
And oh you thought you could buy
Your last piece of mind
Time to beware
But if you believe in the world I'm calling
If you belong in the world I saw
If you believe in the world I'm calling
You'll feel strong
If you believe in the world I'm calling
If you belong in the world I saw
If you believe in the world I'm calling
You壇 be strong
And if you believe in the world I'm calling
If you belong in the world I know
If you believe in the world I'm calling
You壇 be strong
If you believe in the world I'm calling
If you belong in the world I know
If you believe in the world I'm calling
World I知 calling oh oh
If you believe in the world I'm calling
If you belong in the world I know
If you believe in the world I'm calling
You壇 be strong
If you believe in the world I'm calling
If you belong in the world I saw
If you believe in the world I'm calling
You壇 be strong
If you believe in the world I'm calling
If you believe

| The Wonderful Future | |
|
She builds her own satellite
From an old rusted chair
She leaves this old world behind
And the things that she cares
Maybe she's gone
But it won't be for long
What do I know?
Maybe she's found
What we all dream about
What do I know?
She's beautiful and wonderful
I can't compare
It's not that fair
She builds a strong alibi
From the future that's here
She needs to know I'm alive
And that I'm flesh and I tear
Maybe she's wrong
But I won't mind my own
What do I know?
And their silicone
With a touch of her soul
What do I know?
She's beautiful and wonderful
I can't compare
It's not that fair
