Crazy New Town
04:00
|

I'm in a crazy new town
With a crazy new sound and its
Just like magic
So I won't be back soon
Or at all
There's a million new faces
And a hundred new crazes
And I just can't wait to see it all
And fill my heart with music
In the city I've found
There's some special new sounds
And I just can't wait to hear them all
And forget about you
And when I'm looking for shade
On a hot summer day
I'll think about the times we had
And all the times that I felt sad and
Then I'll wait until the dawn is yawning
And rising from its bed
And with my eyes glazed over
I'll explore the world inside my head
So I'll wait until the dawn is yawning
And rising from its bed
And inside my head I'll wonder
If I should have left
But the answer's yes
When the clouds in the sky have sped on by
I’ll sit and feel the wind’s caress
And as time moves along
I’ll wait for the day that I can really say
I’ve found my place in this big world
And that I’m done with foolish pride
And so I’ll wait until the dawn is yawning
And rising from its bed
And with my eyes glazed over
I’ll explore the world inside my head
So I’ll wait until the dawn is yawning
And rising from its bed
And inside my head I’ll wonder
If I should have left
But the answer’s yes
The answer’s yes
The answer’s yes
Yes though it seems that this could be a dream
I've never felt so lucid
And so it’s strange to think
That I’d been searching for a scene
A scene from a dream
But now it’s real and here I am
In this strange new place
Crazy new town (oh I’m in a crazy new town)
Crazy new town (oh I’m in a crazy new town)
Crazy new town (oh I’m in a crazy new town)
Crazy new town

There’s a stranger middling down the dark damp street
Shadows flickering from the street lamp of some cement-mixed feet
Echoing a voice once-forgotten
Through a tear stain I had missed
Never noticed before, maybe there is something more to this
Day and night I pass you by
Never to stop and say hello or goodbye
Like I did before
Our worlds began to divide
I used to know the girl you were
Now the memories are fogged over
Although I saw you there
I didn't recognise your face
On the other side of the street
There's her world and I can't touch it
Though there's only a beat between us
We always seem to look the other way
The days when you walk by
We never catch each others eyes
And as you never notice
It's never a surprise
That when I see your smile
I know it isn't for me
And It's strange with a tear in our hearts
We walk together but we're always apart
But this is how it is
We can't seem to even glance,
To the other side of the street
With her world, but I can't touch it
Although there's only a beat between us
We always seem to look the other way
And is it true what they say about forlorn love
That its best to throw away that silly thing
And could anybody even try to understand .
Why anyone would ever want to go away
And why anybody would want to leave
The one you should have loved on
The other side of the street
There's her world and I can't touch it
Although there's only a beat between us
We always seem to look the other way

Three Weeks
04:25
|

What is it that makes these
Feelings so strong
I could hazard a guess but
I guess I'd be wrong
So what do I owe the
Heart of mine that beats
So fast
Is this a special type of love
That you have created
Just to break
Is this some kind of game
That we both know is going
To end
You said that three weeks would
make you so sure you wouldn't
Make the same mistakes you
made before
But you're wrong
To think it'll be any better
How many times
Must we go down this road
When will we learn
That this story’s been told
Best leave it down
In the ground
Where I picked the broken pieces of this mess
Is this a special type of love
That you have created
Just to break
Is this some kind of game
That we both know is going
To end
You said that three weeks would
make you so sure you wouldn't
Make the same mistakes you
made before
But you're wrong
To think it'll be any better
Oh
Where is the person I used to see
Oh
Where is the person I want you to be
Oh
Where is the time that you spent away
Oh
Where is the day that you told me no anyway
Is this a special type of love
That you have created
Just to break
Is this some kind of game
That we both know is going
To end
You said that three weeks would
make you so sure you wouldn't
Make the same mistakes you
made before
But you're wrong
To think it'll be any better
You're wrong
To think it'll be any better
You're wrong
To think it'll be any better

Cynical
04:18
|
|||
Since the last time I saw her
I've become so cynical
I swore I'd never hinge on anybody's
Words again
Like love and devotion
I'll stifle my emotions
And convince myself but no one else
I'm fine
But if its taste against measures
You're after
Then why don't you just say so
To everyone that's waiting for a piece of love
themselves
And if it's too hard to swallow
When you could just leave it alone
Leave it to your heart to know what's worse
I can't say I'm softly spoken
And though I can say I'm trying
Words aren't always easy to convert to action
But thankfully because I'm human
I can pass it off as expected
Who could blame a man who means so well?
But if its taste against measures
You're after
Then why don't you just say so
To everyone who's waiting for a piece of love themselves
And if it's too hard to swallow
When you could just leave it alone
Leave it to your heart to know what's worse
I'm a man, yes a lucky man
When all things are considered
And though I'm often hurtful I never mean to
Cause you harm
Seems that if I
Beg and plead to be so loved
That no one would want me to hold them
In my arms again
I would lose my only friend
(INSTRUMENTAL)
And so I'll squander my chance at living
A life full of joy
Just because I think I'll hurt somebody else again
And If that makes me a fool
Then I'll have no regrets
Because a fool can never know he's one
But if its taste against measures
You're after
Then why don't you just say so
To everyone who's waiting for a piece of love themselves
And if it's too hard to swallow
When you could just leave it alone
Leave it to your heart to know what's worse
What's worse?
What's worse?
What's worse?
What's could be worse?

Pleasant Nightmare
04:11
|
|||
She hides away
From the creatures that slipped into her mind
A lucid dream
She could control if only she was asleep
They tell her tales
Of things that she should do for them
And read her mind
Feed on her secrets and fears until they drown in her tears
It's far from a pleasant nightmare
These voices, she can't run away
'Little do they see them fright me'
She wishes she could scream, and spit and spray
She remembers a time
When her head was filled with nothing but her voice
Did she lose her mind
Or were they always hiding in her eyes
She's afraid to dream
They could snatch her from anywhere she goes
And steal her smile
That she glues to her face, while her thoughts; they erase
It's far from a pleasant nightmare
These voices, she can't run away
'Little do they seem them fright me'
She wishes she could scream, and spit and spray
It's another escape
To let the light inside fade out as they laugh
But there's no more that she can say or do when she's
Trapped in a half cracked shell
She knows their names
But will speaking of them bring them closer in
She wouldn't dare
Say anything, in case she falls in deeper
Is it at-all fair?
That some can choose to come and go as they please
But still stay the same
Without something latching onto their skin
It's far from a pleasant nightmare
These voices, she can't run away
'Little do they seem them fright me'
She wishes she could scream, and spit and spray
It's far from a pleasant nightmare
These voices, she can't run away
'Little do they seem them fright me'
She wishes she could scream, and spit and spray
It's far from a pleasant nightmare

I Can't Stay
03:13
|

I can't stay
I've got to leave this place right now
And I can't say
Where I'm going to be
But someday
I'll see you there
And its not really that far
But I can't come to visit
I'm sorry I can't stay
I really wish that
I wouldn't have to fly away
On wings that I can't fasten
To you, to your heart stuck on
That earth I haven't time on
Anymore
Not just now
I won't be leaving just quite yet
And though the time will go fast
I need you not to cry
Although I wish
My wings would not grow strong
I could tumble back to your arms
That would wait until the sun fades
And I wish I couldn't fly away
On wings that I can't fasten
To you, to your heart stuck on
That earth I haven't time on
Anymore
I wouldn't strain a single word
That I don't need to scream aloud
It's so crazy I would want to leave
This world in any doubt
That I will miss you
I will miss you
And I wish I wouldn't fly away
On wings that I can't fasten
To you, to your heart stuck on
This earth I haven't time on
And I wish I wouldn't fly away
On wings that I can't fasten
To you, to your heart stuck on
This earth I haven't time on
anymore
