now don't you stand in my way, I have a deep set plan in my headlights
I won't be losing this game, if it's the last thing that I do
so come on and reach out, with one of your broken fingers
There's really no doubt the lengths that I'll go to
Don't you want to break all you find
Don't you want to break all you find
Don't you want to break all you find
Don't you want to break all you find

I can feel the earth ... spinning
packed in tight grains beneath my feet
The sun is a warm warm nightmare
burning itself out into space
and you are the star that orbits so closely
a satelite around my soul
Keeping me safe and watching me quietly
the safety net when I fall
You were the one who always noticed
when I had travelled for so long
You were the one who always noticed
and we'll be even when I'm done
The sun and the stars they rattle so brightly
blinking out in the silent night
the rivers and streams they are all frozen
this tiny pin prick in the sky
You were the one who always noticed
when I had travelled for so long
You were the one who always noticed
and we'll be even when I'm done
and we'll be even when I'm done

Don't
don't you say
what you came here to say
keep it inside
Don't
whisper a word
I'd rather not know
what you think you've heard
why do you break all that you find here
you shatter all the stars and rain on my parade dear
Please
let yourself out
I need to gather my thoughts
No, I will be fine
So don't
don't you hang around
Yes I'll lock the door
and I will see you around

You could be such an empty soul
You helped me pack and watched me go
The fading lights of the transit van
Cutting East out of this land
We'll never go out to sea
You'll find it hard to remember me
The rolling waves and the sea sprayed nights
That memory of how you'd love to fight
Babe I'm so tired
of the sound of this tragedy
Babe you're a liar
when you said this was all down to me
that box of books that you burnt alive
the photographs of me by your side
no angels watching overhead
no final words no last regrets
you can call if you want
you can call if you want
You could be such an empty soul

place your hands on my shoulders
to keep me on the ground
swim swim swim you little fishes
they'll try to catch you if they can
winter will bring a harsh wind
designed to sweep you off your feet
Run Run Run you wild horses
you know I'll love you still
and you are the battery
that powers my disease
that powers my disease
that powers my disease

Listen to the rage
thats coursing through my veins
you're chasing all the passing cars
you'll never be the same again
cast away your doubts
I'm giving up the ghost of you
that person that you used to be
that person that I want to see
Drive your car
into the night
the fire scorched the trees
and lit up all the night
watch the world it's burning down
watch the world it's burning down
Drive your car
into the night
Don't you stray
out of my sight
it's too late
Drive your car
into the night

You, you're marching on my thoughts again
and it's true it will never be the same again
Way down here at the bottom of this boat
no one else ever seems to get the joke
you, you're flying that flag again
it won't do, to be standing on the sides again
Way down here there's a secret I can't find
climbing up from the bottom of this slide
broken clear truth shines in
Frozen pictures of you by the Seine
broken clear truth shines in
Frozen pictures of you by the Seine
And You, you're arguing your point again
If it's true, they'll be no need for words again
Comfort lies in the water spilling in
Ankle deep we'll be hand in hand again
and the fastest take it all
and the fastest take it all
as we fall, take it all, as we fall

It will be the same again
this you can't deny
hide all your breakables
somewhere safely out of sight
I don't want to do this anymore
I don't want to do this anymore
So swallow all your pride
cast away your doubts
turn your outside inside out
Pitch into the dark
run into the night
you have all the angels
sit down before you
go and sink us all
no one would have lied here
and no one said that you wouldn't fall

Burn Your Witches

Parlez for friendship and the good will of others
tie off the ankles and wrists of your lovers
and throw them in the sea
to watch them struggle free
Bunch up your fists and cave in the enemy
a glance of a gist of that man that you want to be
If life had gone your way
only for a day
Ride all your horses through brooks and the shallow streams
trample the dirt in the hooves that were once so clean
jumping all the walls
never shall you fall
Burn all your witches out in the old square
sell their belongings pretend that you once cared
they'll mark you to the grave
no one will be saved ...

There's no surrender
There's no surprises
There's no clean cut ending
There's no pretending
take my hand
take my hand
take my hand
take my hand
There's no thinking
There's no caring
There's no thought through plan
to get us to the ending
take my hand
take my hand
take my hand
take my hand
