Things come wrapped up in time. Like the past in a present. Or the perfect line in a song. . They take their time. And when they're gone. They take their time with them.
When I hit the streets back in '81. Found a heart in the gutter and a poet's crown. I felt barbed wire kisses and icicle tears. Where have I been for all these years?.
Where do we go from here?. . Where do we go from here?. Where do we go from here?. Where do we go from here?. Where do we go from here?. . They boarded up the synagogues.
Woke up in a city that doesnt sleep. Full of rain. You woke me up. . Woke up in a city down by the sea. Like a dream. You woke me up. . I woke up in a city full of snow.
And if the bottle's no solution. Why does it feel so warm. And if that girl is no solution. Why did she feel so warm. And if to feel is no solution. Why do I feel.
When the taxis gather in mock Solemnity. Funeral hearses court the death of virginity. Was it paradise lost or paradise found?. Did we gain respect or were we holding ground?.

We need to talk. About the way. You've been behaving. We need to talk. About the Christmas lights. In your clothes. We need to talk. About the stranger.
I lie awake at night. Listening to you sleeping. I hear the darkness breathe. And the rain against the window. . After all this time. Cynical and jaded.
On promenades where drunks propose. To lonely arcade mannequins. Where ceremonies pause. At the jewelers shop display. Feigning casual silence. In strained romantic interludes.
The wind stands still around you. And suddenly i`m trembling and I don`t know why. There`s something deep about you. That echoes in my mind. . Mystifying feelings.
What is that sound. Ringing in my ears?. The strangest sound. I've heard for years and years. The sound of two hearts. Beating side by side. The sound of one love.
I had a dream that all of time was running dry. and life was like a comet falling from the sky. . I woke so frightened in the dawning, oh so clear. How precious is the time we have here.
Lately I find myself. Amazed. At all around me. Everything I see. Like all of life's ablaze. With light. That suddenly I see. Only now I see. . [Chorus].
You chose silence. You chose it more than life. You chose everything that you could. I knew from then more would be had from you. 'Cause you blow the life.
You said. Clichés come from the truth. Of beauty that every one feels they can own. Is then truth. Being rubbed out or watered down. . We dug a hole. To keep everyone out of view.
What am i doing here. When i was brought in the world. Through blood and tears. . How will it end. How will it end. . I'm not trying to be melodramatic.
When all the nights have come. When all the day time goes. When all the work is done what then. . When your lovers come. When your love has gone. When a touch comes down on who it's meant to rest on.
Smoke a galouise at the after show. Even though you gave up a year ago. Think of all the ways to meet your heroes. While she wraps you around her ego.
When we say what we've done. And shown how we've grown. We'll never hold onto. What we think we own. All we can say is. We came down from the trees. We came down from the trees.
