existence but that's all we share yes Im coming down your beauty is a colour sorround into the half light another velvet morning for me tie yourself to the mast my friend and the storm will end If heaven calls Im coming too just like you said you leave my life Im better of dead rise straight to the light in or out of time no time for sad lament or wasted life this bitter spent child within has healing ways it sees me trough my darkest days Im gonna keep catching the butterfly in that dream of me
In a neon wilderness he was restless escape loneliness for a new address Hop on the train cos it kills the pain blue player gone to another town She knew my feelings were jangled and trayed she took me into a windblown alleway You showed me thing I didnt want to see I dont believe that love is free Finding myself used to be hard but now I see the light if love is a drug then I dont need it The bed aint made but its filled full of hope
Ive got the sk.infull of dope Teenage tears sting my eyeballs

In a town where I wasnt born Tell me what you've seen was it a dream? was I in it ? Give me your powder and pills I wanna see if they cure my ills There's a door Imagine the future woke up with a scream I was buying some feelings from a vending machine There's nothing wrong if we've done nothing wrong I'll never change for anyone Will those feet in modern times walk on soles that are made in china? When it comes to my valium skies she dont mind if I cry Jumping fences like Stevie McQueen

'Cause I read your mind
I need it because it takes me where I can't find
Because you always do that something
Something I'm not sure of
But just for today
Let go and burn away
Slide away

I talked to god in a phonebox on my way home I told you my answer I let you my dreams on your answer machine But I'm million different people from one day to the next There's love if you want it dont sound like Sonnet my lord my love the world dont stop there aint no time for cracking up believe me friend Happiness more or less its just a change in me something in my liberty here we are the rolling people cant stay for long we gotte go There aint no space and time to keep our love alive we have
