Time it tells, living in my hometown Wedding bells, they begin easyLive it down, baby don't talk that muchBaby knows, but baby don't tease meIn the park, we could go walkingDrown in the dark, or we could go sailingOn the sea Always here, always on timeClose call, was it love or was it just easy? Money talks when people need shoes and socksSteady boys, I'm thinking she needs me I was just sipping on something sweetI don't need political process I got this feeling that they're gonna break down the doorI got this feeling that they're gonna come back for moreSee, I was thinking that I lost my mindBut it's been getting to me all this timeAnd don't stop dragging me down Silently, reflection turns my world to stonePatiently, correction leaves us all aloneAnd sometimes I'm a-travelling But tonight this engine's failing I still hear the children playingKick the can, kick the can, skip and play jacks,Steal a car and ring around Rosie,Rock and roll, candyland, boogieman,Run away and give me your sneakers Acid rain, when Abel looked up at CainWe began weeping and wailingHurry hide from pestilence, pills and prideIt's a shame, we could have gone sailingBut heaven knows, heaven knows everything Tranquilize I got this feeling that they're gonna break down the doorI got this feeling that they're gonna come back for moreSee, I was thinking that I lost my mindBut it's been getting to me all this timeAnd it don't stop dragging me down Silently, reflection turns my world to stonePatiently, correction leaves us all aloneAnd sometimes I'm a-travellingBut tonight this engine's failing And I still hear the children playingDead beat dancers come to us and stay 'Cause I don't care where you beenAnd I don't care what you seenWe're the ones who still believeAnd we're looking for a pageIn that lifeless book of hopeWhere a dream might help you copeWhere the Bushes and the bombsUh huh, tranquilize

To the centre of the city where all roads meet, waiting for youTo the depths of the ocean where all hopes sank, searching for youWell I was moving through the silence without motion, waiting for youIn a room without a window in the corner I found truth In the shadowplay, acting out your own death, knowing no moreAs the assassins all grouped in four lines, dancing on the floorAnd with cold steel, odour on their bodies made a move to connectBut I could only stare in disbelief as the crowds all left I did everything, everything I wanted toI let them use you for their own endsTo the centre of the city in the night, waiting for youTo the centre of the city in the night, waiting for you

Lift me up on my honourTake me over this spellGet this weight off my shoulderI've carried it well Lose these shackles of pressureShake me out of these chainsLead me not to temptation Hold my hand harderEase my mindRoll down the smokescreenAnd open the sky Let me flyMan I need a release fromThis troublesome mindFix my feet when they're stumblingAnd well you know it hurts sometimesYou know it's gonna bleed sometime Dig me out from this thorn treeHelp me bury my shameKeep my eyes from the fireThey can't handle the flame Grace cut out from my brothersWhen most of them fellI carried it well Let me flyMan I need a release fromThis troublesome mindFix my feet when they're stumblingI guess you know it hurts sometimesYou know it's gonna bleed sometimes Now hold on I'm not looking for sweet talk I'm looking for time Time for tower and sleep walk Brother, 'cause it hurts sometimes You know it's gonna bleed sometimes Hold on You know it's gonna hurt sometimesWhen you call meHold onHold onHold on I'm gonna climb that symphony home and make it mine Let his resonance light my way See, all these pessimistic sufferers tend to drag me down So I could use it to shelter what good I've found

She's got her halo and wingsHidden under his eyesBut she's an angel for sureShe just can't stop telling lies But it's too late for his loveAlready caught in a trapHis angel's kiss was a jokeAnd she is not coming back Because heaven sends, and heaven takesCrashing cars in his brainKeep him tied up to a dreamAnd only she can set him freeAnd then he says to me Kill me nowKill me nowKill me nowKill me now Kill me nowKill me nowKill me nowKill me now Yeah she's got a criminal mindHe's got a reason to prayHis life is under the gunHe's got to hold everyday Now he just wants to wake upYeah, just to prove it's a dream'Cause she's an angel for sureBut that remains to be seen Because heaven sends, and heaven takesCrashing cars in his brainKeep him tied up to a dreamAnd only she can set him freeAnd then he says to me Kill me nowKill me nowKill me nowKill me now Kill me nowKill me nowKill me nowKill me now Stupid on the streets of LondonJames Dean in the rainWithout her, it's not the sameThe same, the sameBut it's alright Because heaven sends, and heaven takesCrashing cars in his brainKeep him tied up to a dreamAnd only she can set him freeAnd then he says to me Kill me nowKill me nowKill me nowKill me now Kill me nowKill me nowKill me nowKill me now Again and again

Take me to the place where the white boys dance Take me to the place where they run and play My baby is gone, you might have a chance Just take me to the place where the white boys dance They hug in silence as the sun sets on their empty streetHer suspicions, well they're rising highAnd the man who sweeps him off she doesn't meet She walks inside and pours a strong one to put her mind at ease It's the calm before another storm And her brain shifts from the whiskey to the keys Take me to the place where the white boys danceTake me to the place where they run and playMy baby is gone, you might have a chanceJust take me to the place where the white boys dance Her heart is racingShe phones a friend and says “I'm in an awful place That fool's been messing 'round on meI've seen it in his eyes and on his face” Hold on a minute, you're talking crazy Don't be that jealous, girl Just tell Levon you need an hour or two, cause we're gonna go and change somebody's world Take me to the place where the white boys danceTake me to the place where they run and playMy baby is gone, you might have a chanceJust take me to the place where the white boys dance It's the calm before another stormIt's the calm before another stormAnd her brain shifts from the whisky to the keys Take me to the place where the white boys danceTake me to the place where they run and playMy baby is gone, you might have a chanceJust take me to the place where the white boys dance
