| I Will Follow | |
|
I will follow...
I was on the outside when you said
You said you needed me
I was looking at myself
I was blind, I could not see
A boy tries hard to be a man
His mother takes him by his hand
If he stops to think he starts to cry
Oh why
If you walkaway, walkaway
I walkaway, walkaway...i will follow
If you walkaway, walkaway
I walkaway, walkaway...i will follow
I was on the inside
When they pulled the four walls down
I was looking through the window
I was lost, I am found
Walkaway, walkaway
I walkaway, walkaway...i will follow
If you walkaway, walkaway,
I walkaway, walkaway...i will follow
I will follow
Your eyes make a circle
I see you when I go in there
Your eyes, your eyes...
If you walkaway, walkaway
I walkaway, walkaway..i will follow
If you walkaway, walkaway
I walkaway, walkaway...i will follow
I will follow
I will follow...

| Twilight | |
|
I look into his eyes, there are closed
But I see something.
A teacher told me why, I laugh
When old men cry.
My body grows and grows,
It fightens me you know.
The old man tried to walk me home.
I thought he should have known.
Twilight,
Twilight, lost my way.
Twilight, night and day.
Twilight, can't find my way.
(in the shadow boy meets man
In the shadow boy meets man).
I'm running in the rain.
I'm caught in a late night play.
It's all and everything.
I'm soaking through the skin.
Twilight, darkened day.
Twilight, lost my way.
Twilight, can't find my way.
(in the shadow boy meets man
In the shadow boy meets man).

| An Cat Dubh | |
|
Say goodnight, she waits for me to put out the light.
Lay there still,
She waits to break my will.
Yes, if I know the truth,
How bout you?
(she got it)
And in the daylight,
A blackbird makes a fire inside.
And when she is done,
She sleeps beside the night.
Yes, I know the truth,
How bout you?
(she got it)

| Into The Heart | |
|
Into the heart of a child.
I stay awhile, I can go back.
Into the heart of a child.
I can smile.
I can go there.
Into the heart of a child.
Into the heart of a child.
I can go back.
I can stay awhile.
Into the heart.

| Out Of Control | |
|
Monday morning, it's so boring.
I say how long, you say how long.
It was one dull morning,
Woke the world with falling.
I was so sad, so sad.
It was so sad.
I had a feeling it was out of control.
I had a feeling it was out of control.
Boys and girls go to school and learn.
I had a feeling it was out of control.
I had a feeling it was out of control.
Out of control.
Out of control.
I have full faith, that it was burning.
And it go, say death.
It's a charmer, I say a charmer.
And one day I'll die.
And the choice will not be mine.
Will it be too late?
You can't fight it.
I had a feeling it was out of control.
I had a feeling it was out of control.

| Stories For Boys | |
|
There's a place I go,
And it is far away.
There's a tv show,
And I can grow.
Sometimes the hero takes me,
Sometimes I don't let go.
There's a picture book
With more than moans and groans.
There's a comic strip
That makes me laugh.
Sometimes I let it take me.
Sometimes I don't let go,
I won't let go.
Stories for boys.
Stories for boys.
There's a place I go,
And it is far away.
There's a radio,
And I will crawl.
Sometimes the hero takes me.
Sometimes I don't let go.
Stories for boys.
Stories for boys.
Stories for boys...

| The Ocean | |
|
A picture in grey, dorian gray,
Just me by the sea.
And I felt like a star,
I thought that the world could go far,
If they listened to what I said.
The ocean, the ocean
Washes my feet.
Splashes the soul of my shoes.
When I looked around,
The world couldn't be found,
Just me by the sea.

| A Day Without Me | |
|
I'm starting a landslide in my ego.
Look from the outside to the world I left behind.
I'm dreaming, you're awake.
If I were sleeping,
Once I'd say
A day without me.
What are the feelings I've been feeling?
What are the feelings to let me out?
Today's a day without me.
I started a landslide in my ego.
Look from the outside to the world I left behind,
To the world I left behind.
Wipe the eyes from the laughter,
To the world I left behind.
Share the tears and the laughter.

| Another Time, Another Place | |
|
Bright morning lights
Wipe the sleep from another day's eyes.
Turn away from the wall and there's nothing at all.
Make another one afraid.
It's the open space of my bed.
I'll be with you now.
I'll be with you now.
Real life on a cloud.
Real life.
Just as I am.
I have walked with a tear on my arm.
I have walked with a feeling of never before.
In my sleep, I discover the one.
But she rounds with the morning sun.
I'll be with you now.
I'll be with you now.
Real life on a cloud.
Real life.
Another time, another place.
Real life.
Another time, another place...

| The Electric Co. | |
|
Boy, stupid boy
Don't sit at the table
Until you're able to
Toy, broken toy
Shout shout
You're inside out
If you don't know...electric co.
If you don't know...electric co.
Red, running red
Play for real
The toy could feel
A hole in your head
You go in shock
You're spoon-fed
If you don't know...electric co.
If you don't know...electric co.
One two three four...
[vague words]
If you don't know...electric co.
[repeat 6 times]
(more vague words)
Just to hear me
(more vague words)
I've found me way home

| Shadows And Tall Trees | |
|
Back to the cold restless streets at night
I talk to myself about tomorrow night
Walls of white protest
A gravestone in name
Who is it now
It's always the same
Who is it now
Who calls me inside
Are the leaves on the trees
Just living disguise
I walk sweet rain tragicomedy
I'll walk home again
to the street melody
But I know, oh no
But I know, oh no
But I know
Shadows and tall trees
Shadows and tall trees
Shadows and tall trees
Shadows and tall trees
Life through a window
Discoloured pain
Mrs. Brown's washing is always the same
I walk street rain tragicomedy
I'll walk home again
to the street melody
But I know, oh no
But I know, oh no
But I know
Out there
Do you feel in me
Anything redeeming
Any worthwhile feeling
Is love like a tightrope
Hanging from the ceiling
But I know, oh no
But I know, oh no
But I know
Shadows and Tall Trees
