There's a wild wind blowingDown the corner of my streetEvery night there the headlights are glowing There's a cold war coming,On the radio I heardBaby it's a violent world Oh, love, don't let me goWon't you take me where the streetlights glowI can hear it comingI can hear the siren soundNow my feet won't touch the ground Time came a-creepingOh and time's a loaded gunEvery road is a ray of lightIt goes o-o-o-onTime'll leak and lead you onStill it's such a beautiful night Oh oh love, don't let me goWon't you take me where the streetlights glowI can hear it comingLike a serenade of soundNow my feet won't touch the ground Gravity release me,And don't ever hold me downNow my feet won't touch the ground

Scared of losin' all the timeHe wrote it in a letterHe was a friend of mineHe heard you could see your futureInside a glass of waterWith ripples and the rhymesHe asked, "Will I see heaven in mine?" That is just the way it wasAnd nothing could be betterAnd nothing ever wasThey say you can see your futureInside a glass of waterThe riddles and the rhymes"Will I see heaven in mine?"Ohhhh SonDon't askNeither how full nor emptyIs your glassClingTo the mastSpend your whole life Living in the pastGoing nowhere fast So he wrote it on a wallThe hollowest of halosIs no halo at allTelevisions selling plastic figurines of leadersSaying nothing at allAnd you chime"Stars in heaven align"Ohhhhhhhh SonDon't askNeither how full nor emptyIs your glassClingTo the mastSpend your whole life Living in the pastGoing nowhere fast What are we drinking when we're done?Glasses of water

Then there was rain The sky wore a veil of gold and grey At night it was the bright of the moon with me Time is just floating away Then there was rain The sound foundations are crumbling Through the ground comes a bit of a-tumbling And time was just floating away What could we say? And we can listen Oh rainy day, come 'round Sometimes i just want it to slow down And we're separated now, I'm down But I love it when you come over to the house I love it when you come over to my house Then there was rain I spent the night with the Queen of Spain My lonely little heart would have broke again Times were vicious Saying deeper that the knife goes in, the more you win You end up with less than when you begin Deeper that the knife goes in Oh rainy day, come 'round Sometimes I just want it to slow down And we're separated now, I'm down But I love it when you come over to the house I love it when you come over to my house

Smoke is rising from the housesPeople burying their deadI asked somebody what the time isBut time doesn't matter to them yet People talking without speakingTrying to take what they can getI ask you if you rememberProspekt, how could I forget DrumsHere it comesDon't you wish that life could be as simpleAs fish swimming round in a barrel when you've got the gun?Oh, when I runHere it comesWe're just two little figures in a soup bowlTrying to get the other kind of controlBut I wasn't one But here I lieOn my own in a separate skyAnd here I lieOn my own in a separate skyI don't wanna dieOn my own here tonightBut here I lieOn my own in a separate sky

Lovers, keep on the road you're onRunners, until the race is runSoldiers, you've got to soldier onSometimes even right is wrong They are turning my head outTo see what I'm all aboutKeeping my head downTo see what it feels like nowBut I have no doubtOne day, we are gonna get out Tonight maybe we're gonna runDreaming of the Osaka sunOhh ohh...Dreaming of when the morning comes They are turning my head outTo see what I'm all aboutKeeping my head downTo see what it feels like nowBut I have no doubtOne day the sun will come out
