I've been waiting here so long
For someone I can talk to
Coz I know where we went wrong
But it's really not the time or place
To talk about the problems
Now I've got you face to face
I'll tell you what I'm thinking of
Imagine how my heart feels
Now I know I'm still in love
Oh please don't cry
But I need to tell you one more time
I didn't mean to hurt you
I never meant to complicate your life
If I can hold you
'Cause I don't wanna be alone again tonight
Please don't look away
I've tried to say I'm sorry
For the things I never said
We can talk about who's to blame
But it really doesn't matter
I'm so tired of playing games
Oh please don't cry
But I need to tell you one more time
I didn't mean to hurt you
I never meant to complicate your life
If I can hold you
'Cause I don't wanna be alone again tonight
Oh please don't cry
But I need to tell you one more time
I didn't mean to hurt you
I never meant to complicate your life
If I can hold you
'Cause I don't wanna be alone again tonight
A certain time, a certain face
In a very unfamiliar place
Was it really that long ago?
I don't think so!
Oh no! Oh no!
There's only total strangers everywhere I go
I'm so confused, I think I'm losing it ...
I live with amnesia
I live with amnesia
I live with amnesia
Dancing with the shadows of my memory
I live with amnesia
Dancing with the shadows of my memory
The future was looking bright
But now everything's black and white
Is it true, that I didn't have far to go?
I don't think so!
Oh no! Oh no!
There's so much information that I know I know ...
I'm so confused, I think I'm losing it
How well do you still know me?
There's more to me than meets the eye
You seem to look right through me
I know you'd like to change my mind
Your eyes surround
Within, without
Just take me asiam
[Chorus]
Won't you take me asiam?
You will break me asiam
You're never too far from me
Your hand is always reaching out
Although you think you're helping
What happens when you're not around?
Your eyes surround
Within, without
Just take me asiam
[Chorus]
Won't you take me asiam?
You will break me asiam
You are the one, and whatever it is
You know you won't let go
And you made me asiam
[Chorus]
Can't you take me asiam?
You will break me asiam
You are the one, and whatever it is
You know you won't let go
And you made me asiam
Won't you take me asiam?
You will break me asiam
You are the one, and whatever it is
I know you won't let go
Won't you take me asiam?
You will break me asiam
Gonna buy me a steel umbrella
'Cause things ain't going too well
I go to bed thinking I'm in heaven
When I wake up I'm in hell
Take my dog for his morning walk
Shit am I glad he can't talk
Sooner or later it all comes back to me
You can bet on this
If it can happen
It'll happen to me (It'll happen to me)
Every time it happens
Why does it happen to me
Gonna buy me some more insurance
This asphalt surfin's getting to me
Accidents are an everyday occurrence
If there's a God, He's laughing at me
Might as well be the invisible man
See my footprints sinkin' in the quicksand
Sooner or later it all comes back to me
Bet on this
If it can happen (It'll happen to me)
Bet on this, if it can happen
Everytime it happens
Why does it happen to me
Bet on this
If it can happen (Buy me a steel umbrella)
It'll happen to me
Bet on this (No doubt in my mind)
Can you see the day,
when everyone can say they've got one?
A cloud is moving in,
blotting out your landmine vision
So many are afraid,
concealing all their secret weapons
You can see it in their eyes,
like the brake lights on a highway glisten
Three billion is a lot,
it's impossible to separate them
A carrer is made and lost,
in sorting out the devastation
What you get you've got,
the rest can be imagination
And what you lose you've lost,
here comes the instant separation
Careful where you step
There may be a mine under there
High up above
Like a cat clings
To an icy root
He keeps a slow pace,
Tight hold,
Anxious view.
There's something ticking away
Inside his head.
He's got to keep that vital distance
You can see it in his eyes
That glance across the shoulder
[Chorus]
He's on a Cat Walk
He's got a Cat Walk
He's on a Cat Walk
He's got a Cat Walk
He's always on the far side of the street
Never getting too close,
Too near, might meet,
Someone a little too close to himself
You can see it in his eyes
Those eyes are getting older
You can see it in his eyes,
That glance across the shoulder
[Repeat Chorus]
Sometimes I feel like slipping away
I need a life of my own
Don't make me stay
Should I go now or should I wait
You are my flesh and blood
One wish is not enough
Let me go
All I want is to chase the wind
All I want is to feel that feeling again
Let me chase the wind
Sometimes the air's so thick I can't breathe
The longer that I wait
The harder to leave
So many time I should have broken free
You are my flesh and blood
One wish is not enough
Some things are never really over
[Chorus]
Let me go
All I want is to chase the wind
All I want is to feel that feeling again
Let me go
All I want is to dream again
All I want is to chase the wind
Let me chase the wind
If this dream lasts too long
There's a chance it may go wrong
And I may never get this chance again
Let me go
Let me go
[Repeat Chorus]
[Repeat Chorus]
Wiping his brow
He managed to tear himself away
The past few nights had left him rather tired
Returned his thoughts
To a need he felt overpowering
He felt success was now within his grasp
Climbing the ladder
Three runs forward, two runs back
Climbing the ladder
Trying to stay on just the right track
Keeps up the pace
Tells himself that it's all worthwhile
Hard work is its own reward one day
Could he be wrong
Are all his dreams merely fantasies
And would it all fall in on him some day
Climbing the ladder
Three runs forward, two runs back
Climbing the ladder
Trying to stay on just the right track
Now he sits back
Amid all the things he worked so hard for
And wonders was his energy well spent
Whatever the price
He is where he wants to be
The end has justified the means and all
(Chorus)
Images all to strong to mention
And faces as far as I can see
The focus of all with no intention
The passion is all we try to feel.
There's fire in the hole
Tell me what you want from me
And I'm gonna give it to you
There's fire in the hole
Tell me about your fantasy
And I'm gonna give it to you.
So little time, so far to travel
But so many smiles along the way
So many hearts filled with devotion
And so many games still to be played.
There's fire in the hole
Tell me what you want from me
And I'm gonna give it to you
Fire in the hole
What you see is what you get
And I'm gonna give it to you
Fire in the hole
And what you want is all you need
And I'm gonna give it
I'm gonna give it to you.
Some come early,
and some come late
Some hold back
and some can't wait
Some have nightmares
and some have dreams
Life's not always what it seems.
Don't wanna know
about the chains
That still hold you.
Don't wanna hear
about the games
That we Play.
I Wanna know just who I am
And where I stand
and who will hold
My hand if once again
I find my life in disarray.
Don't wanna know about
the final solution
I'm in no hurry to find it out
What comes next.
Heaven can wait.
Some come early,
and some come late
Some hold back
and some can't wait
Some have nightmares
and some have dreams
Life's not always what it seems.
Don't wanna know
about the dreams
That still haunt you.
Don't wanna know
about the lives
That We've lived
Don't wanna know
what's on you mind
Or how you find the time
to separate the
Truth from fiction, when we
go our separate ways.
Heaven can wait.
You just sit there like there's nothing wrong
Slightly unconcerned
Don't you think your silence
Holds you back?
Won't you ever learn? (Take it)
Can't you see it's worth it?
Can't you try?
Time is running out
If you don't think you'll make it
Let me know
But please don't waste my time
Just help me out
I can't do this myself anymore
Help me out
I can't do this myself anymore
If you lack inspiration
If you need a push
Think of what you'll gain
I won't criticize you
I'll be kind
I'll even play your game
If you'll help me out
I can't do this myself anymore
Help me out
I can't do this myself anymore
You just sit there listening
Like there's nothing wrong
Slightly unconcerned
Don't you think your silence
Holds you back?
Won't you ever learn? (Take it)
I woke to the sound of a crash
Oh no, I know you're fighting next door
I thought I'd seen the last
I can't believe you still go back for more
What have you got in mind
Why do you waste your time
He gives you nothing at all
He's hurt you before
He'll hurt you again
Leave it all behind
[Chorus]
Here I am
Wondering when you'll come into my life
There you are
With fire in your eyes
Here I am
You know that I'll do everything I can
There you are
Holding my heart in your hands
You know there's something wrong
And I know, I've seen it on your face
Soon as he finds you're gone
There'll be someone new taking your place
Haven't you had enough
Haven't you had it rough
To hold emotions for three
So take my advice
Head for the door
Leave it all behind
[Repeat Chorus]
[Repeat Chorus]
Here I am
There you are
Here I am
You've got us hanging off your every word
Patiently waiting a sign
One minute we can expect the absurd
Next minute everything's fine
So unpredictable no reason nor rhyme
Worse than the hours in a day
We seem to remember a well balanced time
Or was it always this way
[Chorus]
Hot to cold
Too hot to hold
Hot to cold
Too hot to hold
Too hot to...
Half a degree either way unconcerned
You shed no ray of relief
And plagued by a fear of your high winds of change
Day to night's difference is brief
Erratic shifts in your moods have us all
Under a high pressure sway
Showering us constantly playing your game
We have no choice but to play
[Repeat Chorus]
Pressure's on, the time is tight
You feel like there's
no end in sight
And all you feel
is numb from all
the voices yelling
"this can't go on"
"This can't go on."
There's plenty of ways
to make a man
feel like everybody thinks
that he's not wanted
"How do you feel?"
There's plenty of ways
to make a man
feel like everything he's done's
bin for nothing
"How do you feel?"
There's plenty of ways
to make a man
feel like anything he does
will end in tears.
"How do you feel?"
The time has come
to take your place
Ahead of those who've
tried to waste
Your time because they
thought that you weren't
strong enough
But this can't go on
It's time to be strong
There's plenty of ways
to make them all feel like
anything they say will make
you stronger.
"How do you feel?"
There's plenty of ways
to make 'em all
feel like every single damn
will hold no longer
"How do you feel?"
There's plenty of ways
to make 'em all
realize that it's finally time
to change
"How do you feel?"
My eyes will barely open
And I can't feel my arm
I hear the voice of the scarecrow calling me
I'm rolling in my bed
And still my eyes won't focus
I wonder which one of me
I'll need to be today
Stir it up
Mix it up
I'll keep you guessing
[Chorus]
I must admit, just like you
I have my ups and downs
Take a look, can you tell me
How do I look? Now!
A quick glance in the mirror
And then I'm on my way
I think I'll know who I'll have to
Be today
Sir it up
Mix it up
I'll keep you guessing
[Chorus]
I must admit, just like you
I have my ups and downs
Take a look, can you tell me
How do I look? Now!
How are you at picking out
A face within a crowd
Have a look, can you tell me
How do I look? Now!
[Chorus]
How are you at picking out
A face within a crowd
Have a look, can you tell me
How do I look? Now!
I must admit, just like you
I have my ups and downs
Take a look, can you tell me
How do I look? Now!
So you won't tell me, where you've been up to now
I don't know, they've seen you come and go (oh)
You're well on your way but never leaving the chair
Playing scenes on T.V. screens
Watching widely to glimpse the full view
While the hours have their hands all over you
You say that you see me, well I see you too
I look behind, what do you find, all but an empty room
Scratching the surface and you can't get away
You've traveled far and so far you have nothing to say
[Chorus]
Scratching the surface
You better come up for air
A new experience to get you there
Scratching the surface
You better come up for air
Strapped to the media, a machine to fear
You're onto something then it slips right away
It's in your hand, follow through right in front of you
You say that you hear me, well I hear you too
My secret is no secret, outside of the tube
So you won't tell me, what you've done up to now
You're watching me, I'm watching you decide (oh)
Scratching the surface, you can't get away
You tried so hard, and so far you have nothing to say
[Repeat Chorus]
Aldo's standing at his table
And he's wondering if he's able
To pick the number right this time
He watches as the wheel stops spinning
Sees the number that is winning
As he reaches for his glass of wine
Once he starts it's hard to stop
He's keepin' up a pace like a tight wound clock
Be sure you don't step in his way
He'll keep those numbers rolling
This may be his last day
As all the bets are taken
Aldo lights a smoke, he's shakin'
>From carnation right to the ground
He knows tonight holds one last chance
'n give the wheel a final glance
Slippery fingers drop the money down
Once he starts it's hard to stop
He's keepin' up a pace like a tight wound clock
And as he leaves the table, "No luck today"
You can rest assured
He's comin' back to try again
Wind him up, he can't stop
He's wound up tight just like the clock
That's winding its second hand down
Wind him up, he can't stop
He keeps on going 'round the clock
He's winding his second hand down
