I want a trip inside your headSpend the day there…To hear the things you haven't saidAnd see what you might see I want to hear you when you callDo you feel anything at all?I want to see your thoughts take shapeAnd walk right out Freedom has a scentLike the top of a new born baby's head The songs are in your eyesI see them when you smileI've seen enough I'm not giving upOn a miracle drug Of science and the human heartThere is no limitThere is no failure here sweetheartJust when you quit… I am you and you are mineLove makes nonsense of spaceAnd time… will disappearLove and logic keep us clearReason is on our side, love… The songs are in your eyesI see them when you smileI've had enough of romantic loveI'd give it up, yeah, I'd give it upFor a miracle, a miracle drug, a miracle drug God I need your help tonight Beneath the noiseBelow the dinI hear your voiceIt's whisperingIn science and in medicine“I was a strangerYou took me in” The songs are in your eyesI see them when you smileI've had enough of romantic loveI'd give it up, yeah, I'd give it upFor a miracle, miracle drug Miracle, miracle drug

The more you see the less you knowThe less you find out as you goI knew much more then than I do now Neon heart dayglo eyesA city lit by firefliesThey're advertising in the skiesFor people like us And I miss you when you're not aroundI'm getting ready to leave the ground.... Ooh ooh oohOoh ooh ooh Oh you look so beautiful tonightIn the city of blinding lights Don't look before you laughLook ugly in a photographFlash bulbs purple irisesThe camera can't see I've seen you walk unafraidI've seen you in the clothes you madeCan you see the beauty inside of me?What happened to the beauty I had inside of me And I miss you when you're not aroundI'm getting ready to leave the ground Ooh ooh oohOoh ooh ooh Oh you look so beautiful tonightIn the city of blinding lights Time... timeWon't leave me as I amBut time won't take the boy out of this man Oh you look so beautiful tonightOh you look so beautiful tonightOh you look so beautiful tonightIn the city of blinding lights The more you know the less you feelSome pray for others stealBlessings are not just for the ones who kneel... luckily

I was born a child of graceNothing else about the placeEverything was ugly but your beautiful faceAnd it left me no illusion I saw you in the curve of the moonIn the shadow cast across my roomYou heard me in my tuneWhen I just heard confusion All because of youAll because of youAll because of youI am... I am I like the sound of my own voiceI didn't give anyone else a choiceAn intellectual tortoiseRacing with your bullet train Some people get squashed crossing the tracksSome people got high rises on their backsI'm not broke but you can see the cracksYou can make me perfect again All because of youAll because of youAll because of youI am... I am I'm aliveI'm being bornI just arrived, I'm at the doorOf the place I started out fromAnd I want back inside All because of youAll because of youAll because of youI am

Little sister don't you worry about a thing todayTake the heat from the sunLittle sisterI know that everything is not okBut you're like honey on my tongue True love never can be rentBut only true love can keep beauty innocent I could never take a chanceOf losing love to find romanceIn the mysterious distanceBetween a man and a womanNo I could never take a chance'Cos I could never understandThe mysterious distanceBetween a man and a woman You can run from loveAnd if it's really love it will find youCatch you by the heelBut you can't be numb for loveThe only pain is to feel nothing at allHow can I hurt when I'm holding you? I could never take a chanceOf losing love to find romanceIn the mysterious distanceBetween a man and a woman And you're the one, there's no-one elseYou make me want to lose myselfIn the mysterious distanceBetween a man and a woman Brown eyed girl across the streetOn rue Saint DivineI thought this is the one for meBut she was already mineYou were already mine... Little sisterI've been sleeping in the street againLike a stray dogLittle sisterI've been trying to feel complete againBut you're gone and so is God The soul needs beauty for a soul mateWhen the soul wants... the soul waits ... No I could never take a chanceOn losing love to find romanceIn the mysterious distanceBetween a man and a woman For love and faith and sex and fearAnd all the things that keep us hereIn the mysterious distanceBetween a man and a woman How can I hurt when I'm holding you?

From the brightest starComes the blackest holeYou had so much to offerWhy did you offer your soul?I was there for you babyWhen you needed my helpWould you deny for othersWhat you demand for yourself? Cool down mama, cool offCool down mama, cool off You speak of signs and wondersI need something otherI would believe if I was ableBut I'm waiting on the crumbs from your table You were pretty as a pictureIt was all there to seeThen your face caught up with your psychologyWith a mouth full of teethYou ate all your friendsAnd you broke every heart thinking "every heart mends" You speak of signs and wondersBut I need something otherI would believe if I was ableBut I'm waiting on the crumbs from your table Where you live should not decideWhether you live or whether you dieThree to a bedSister Ann, she saidDignity passes by And you speak of signs and wondersBut I need something otherI would believe if I was ableI'm waiting on the crumbs from your table

I'm 'round the corner from anything that's realI'm across the road from hopeI'm under a bridge in a rip tideThat's taken everything I call my own One step closer to knowingOne step closer to knowing I'm on an island at a busy intersectionI can't go forward, I can't turn backCan't see the futureIt's getting away from meI just watch the tail lights glowing One step closer to knowingOne step closer to knowingOne step closer to knowingKnowing, knowing I'm hanging out to dryWith my old clothesFinger still red with the prick of an old roseWell the heart that hurtsIs a heart that beatsCan you hear the drummer slowing? One step closer to knowingOne step closer to knowingOne step closer to knowingTo knowing, to knowing, to knowing
