Sun comes up
I'm counting the days I've got left
I'm counting the time on my hands, watch the days roll by
When I'm gone
Who will be waiting for me to come home?
Who waits for a ghost to come in from the cold, just to haunt you?
Sometimes girl I'm already gone, I've been ready so long
In your heart there's a different man, and I just ain't that strong
I can't win
I can't lose
And everything I do is wrong
One hand clawing at the other hand, trying to hold on
Sun goes down
If I stay too long then I'll just fade away
And if you were smart you would just walk away, don't you cry
When I'm gone
I know for certain the birds will still sing
And I know the clouds will still cry like a child, on my shadow
Sometimes girl I'm already gone, I've been ready so long
In your heart there's a different man, and I just ain't that strong
I can't win
I can't lose
And everything I do is wrong
One hand clawing at the other hand, trying to hold on

It's an old game, my love
When you can't have me, you want me
Because you know that you're not risking anything
Intimacy is when we're in the same place at the same time
Dealing honestly with how we feel, and who we really are
That's what grown-ups do
That is mature thinking
Well I'm still a junkie for it
It takes me out of my loneliness
But this relationship cannot sustain itself
Intimacy is when we're in the same place at the same time
Dealing honestly with how we feel, and who we really are
That's what grown-ups do
That is mature thinking
I just have to know how to be in the process
Of creating things in a better way
And it hurts but it's a lie that I can't handle it
I still have a world of myself to fulfill
I still have a life, and it's a rich one even with mourning
Even with grief and sadness
I have my friends, my family
I have myself
I still have me

I love my bionic eyes
I love my crystal vision
If there's anybody out there
Baby I'm not gonna miss 'em
I watch the years go by
These are the same old guys I never had any use for
Beyond the feeling of pleasure
Or the thrill of the fight
I scored again last night
I said thanks for the drinks, nice party
Then I turned out the light
I've got timing and attitude
That can get to the baddest dude
That's when I hypnotize them
With my bionic eyes
As I got older I had to step out of the lines
And make up my own mind
As I got light as a feather they got stiff as a board
I can't feel any more, but I can fake it forever
It's easy in the beginning
When I can dazzle them
All night
Make 'em do what you wan' 'em to
Get 'em running after you
It's just the same old guys
Wearing the same old ties
As I got older I had to step out of the lines
And make up my own mind
As I got light as a feather they got stiff as a board
I can't feel any more, but I can fake it forever
I love my bionic eyes
I love my bionic eyes
I love my bionic eyes
If there's a parallel nation
And I'm a secret weapon
Show me a man you cannot break
And I will show you heaven
As I got older I had to step out of the lines
And make up my own mind
As I got light as a feather they got stiff as a board
I can't feel any more, but I can fake it forever

If you, if you could return, don't let it burn, don't let it fade.
I'm sure I'm not being rude, but it's just your attitude,
It's tearing me apart, It's ruining everything.
I swore, I swore I would be true, and honey, so did you.
So why were you holding her hand? Is that the way we stand?
Were you lying all the time? Was it just a game to you?
But I'm in so deep. You know I'm such a fool for you.
You got me wrapped around your finger, ah, ha, ha.
Do you have to let it linger? Do you have to, do you have to,
Do you have to let it linger?
Oh, I thought the world of you.
I thought nothing could go wrong,
But I was wrong. I was wrong.
If you, if you could get by, trying not to lie,
Things wouldn't be so confused and I wouldn't feel so used,
But you always really knew, I just wanna be with you.
But I'm in so deep. You know I'm such a fool for you.
You got me wrapped around your finger, ah, ha, ha.
Do you have to let it linger? Do you have to, do you have to,
Do you have to let it linger?

remember when i left you
i couldn't say your name
or other crucial things like i love you,
oh, that's a shame
oh no, i think i'm falling
oh no, i think i'm fine
our hearts didn't come together
but I saw the two collide
i can the see the hearts sinking
remember when i left you
i couldn't say your name
or other crucial things like i love you,
oh, that's a shame
i don't know if you're hearing
my voice or the reprise
our hearts didn't come together
but I saw the two collide
i can see the hearts sinking

I don't wanna hear
I don't wanna know
Please don't say you're sorry
I've heard it all before
And I can take care of myself
I don't wanna hear
I don't wanna know
Please don't say 'forgive me'
I've seen it all before
And I can't take it anymore
You're not half the man you think you are
Save your words because you've gone too far
I've listened to your lies and all your stories
(I've listened to your stories)
You're not half the man you'd like to be
I don't wanna hear
I don't wanna know
Please don't say you're sorry
I've heard it all before
And I can take care of myself
I don't wanna hear
I don't wanna know
Please don't say 'forgive me'
I've seen it all before
And I can't take it anymore
Don't explain yourself cause talk is cheap
There's more important things than hearing you speak
We stayed because I made it so convenient
Don't explain yourself you'll never see
I don't wanna hear
I don't wanna know
Please don't say you're sorry
I've heard it all before
And I can take care of myself
I don't wanna hear
I don't wanna know
Please don't say 'forgive me'
I've seen it all before
And I can't take it anymore

That was a time for falling;
I knew you well.
There was no time
for calling me when you fell.
This is a time to take cover
in a wishing well.
Summer was blowing
all over me when you fell.
Sailors can take all the breathing
out of the sail.
I took a trip when you needed me.
When you fell,
waters were driving me to a deep place
I closed my eyes to see your sweet face,
a Coke can beside me
I slept in hell.
Angels can be so deceiving
when they love you well.
Did you think you would be leaving me?
These are some lavender flowers
in a broken shell
They comfort me ever since
the day when you fell.
When you fell,
waters were dancing
in a dark place; I closed my eyes
to see your determined face.
My secret inside me,
I slept in hell.
This is a time for believing
in fairy tales.
One in which you are brought back to me.
Wolf,... I cried wolf.

Baker Baker baking a cake
make me a day
make me whole again
and I wonder what's in a day
what's in your cake this time
I guess you heard he's gone to L.A.
he says that behind my eyes I'm hiding
and he tells me I pushed him away
that my heart's been hard to find
here
there must be something here
there must be something here
here
Baker Baker can you explain
if truly his heart was made of icing
and I wonder how mine would taste
maybe we could change his mind
I know you're late for your next parade
you came to make sure that I'm not running
well I ran from him in all kinds of ways
guess it was his turn this time
time
thought I'd make friends with time
thought we'd be flying
maybe not this time
Baker Baker baking a cake
make me a day
make me whole again
and I wonder if he's ok
if you see him say hi

This is how it goes
You'll get angry at yourself
And think you can think of something else
And I'll hear the clanging of the bells
'Cause I can't stop you baby...
'Cause I don't have the bribery in place
No bright shiny surface to my face
So I won't go near the market place
With what I'm selling lately
'Cause this is how it goes
'Cause it's all about drugs
It's all about shame
And whatever they want
Don't tell 'em your name
This is how it goes:
One more failure to connect
With so many how could I object?
And you, what on earth did you expect?
Well, I can't tell you, baby
When this is how it goes
'Cause it's all about drugs
It's all about shame
And whatever they want
Don't tell 'em your name
So I'll try to hold on
While you try to let go
You won't tell me it's gone
But, baby, I'll know
Baby, I'll know
Baby, I'll know

Watching terrible TV
It kills all thought
Getting spacier than
An astronaut
Making out with people
I hardly know or like
I can't believe what I do
Late at night
I wanna know what it's like
On the inside of love
I'm standing at the gates
I see the beauty above
Only when we get to see
The aerial view
Will the patterns show
We'll know what to do
I know the last page so well
I can't read the first
So I just don't start
It's getting worse
I wanna know what it's like
On the inside of love
I'm standing at the gates
I see the beauty above
I wanna know what it's like
On the inside of love
I can't find my way in
I try again and again
I'm on the outside of love
Always under or above
I can't find my way in
I try again and again
I'm on the outside of love
Always under or above
Must be a different view
To be a me with a you
I wanna know what it's like
On the inside of love
I'm standing at the gates
I see the beauty above
