These days I try
So hard to reach
Without pulling
You're charmless, servile
So many times
Let me be near you
You have the rhyme
Yours are the signs that we read
Our faithful conduct
Tell me again, Majordomo
Kid glove or halo
Hand over fist
Can't you see me?
You have the rhyme
Yours are the signs that we read

Old man
Did I spy you in the club bar
Did I complicate
The telling of the story of your life?
Did your eyes blur
When you spoke of Arabia
Did you feel choked as you recalled
The blaze of the sun?
Old fool
Tugging at the sleeves of the young man
Your well-worn tales
Echo through the pyramid walls
I can see you now in a poor re-make of 'Beau Geste'
Clinging to the back of a camel
As the sand dunes rise and fall
Old one
Won't you join me in a last toast?
So stylized
We'll even dash out glasses to the floor
We'll get soaked on perished Ouzo
Then dance to the rhythm of a thousand desert guns

I look in your eyes, see love's lies
Smiling, hiding
Did you realise, how soon love dies
When you stray?
Are you dead or alive? Is your heart up for sale?
From a look in your eyes, how would I know?
I fall through the days, my horoscope says
Now you must be strong, in so many ways
You try to erase what we've become
I work so hard just to get through these days
Just to get through
I worked through
But never again
Now you try...
Suspicious emotions
You were the first one to give up... trying
A suspect emotion
When you drove the car through love's red light
And when we meet

Jenny's been in Re-hab, 59 days
Shakin' and a-shiverin' as she claws
her way though the waters
Drug-dry, sleepless, dead on her feet
Black kohl shadows spinning wheels
When she hears those whispers ...
Now her friends have grown older, she's living alone
Section 2 Order, like a rolling stone
A long time burning, fever's so high
Jenny spills over she's a kiss-and-tell spy
Hush daughter ...
With her drip-dry lips kissing
Fucked up grin
The holes in her stockings
Where the world pours in
Sweet sister ...
Blind paranoia in the wink of an eye
She wakes in the morning
And it seems like the world
Froze over ...
Now the walls have grown ears
And the rumour is clear :
Run for tomorrow every time
That you hear
Cold whispers

Human - The Challenge
07:32

Take down all your pictures
Tear away your paper heart
With the power of accommodation
Hurry now, well make a start
Disregard the cries of derision
I can feel trade winds blow
They fan the torch of our elation
Take my hand, we'll watch it glow
Sometimes I feel there's a wall in your heart
The screen door protects us from falling
If I held your hand could you believe once for me?
This feeling of heaven takes you down
Far away
On some desert background
Our wayward lives are pushed out of phase
If I accept your reluctant kisses
Could you abhor my indifferent ways?
Breathless now
Our spirits falter
As I lose the hand
That you extend
Until such time
I will consider
And take up the challenge again

Oh stop the world spinning around
Violin fingers will help us down
Closer, closer we sail
No one will hear us we'll talk in Braille
Now our estrangement is made
White room, snowy arcade
Take up your fur my winter prize
Box-hat, veil... such a thin disguise
'These are my guards'... you used to say
Snow girl beside me a step away
Sable becomes you I'm told
White room, dizzy with cold
Oh will the warmth never begin?
Snowscapes' shower invites us in
Only a calm breeze remains
Cooling our volcanic love again
Soon the violin fades
White room, snow melts away...

Witness our exhilaration, we're feeling our way as we run
The landmarks slide as our two hearts collide
The first wild kiss has begun
I wait for your touch like a schoolboy, a bogus conductor of youth
The arch of a mouth and I dare not cry out
As the first wild kiss cuts through
I watch as your lips come between us, dividing me from other men
In dreams I will capture the moment of rapture
And lust for the wild kiss again

Call me liar
I half expect you to
Whip band moves once
Black glove remains
Battlefield clay
Mouth to mouth delay
Her halo towers
Above me again
Hold the light close
It gets so dark in here
Each spark reveals
Devil's bouquet
Cellar blue
Love holds no charm for you
Whip hand moves twice
Whirls me around
You walk abroad
Tourists of the heart
Whip hand guides you
Pushed far away
Who'll turn a page
See me in my velvet cage
Whip hand snakes out
Glove cracks down

Call it escalation
Call it a means to an end
Question the wealth of division
That makes us unnatural friends
Such deep and hollow wounds
Platonic love bites rend
This is their mark of affliction
The lifebelt on which you depend
Look at the art that surrounds you
The dead things you've worked to arrange
New friends have locked up your talents
Platonic Love lies strange -
Call it escalation
Call it a means to an end
Question the wealth of division
That makes us unnatural friends

UIU - Almost

Now it's time to hide away once again
That's what you told me
Now we've come so far
I know we'll get through in the end
That's what I told you
You hurt me
I hurt you
I can't see whats different now
Don''t tell me youve found
Something new
Now it's almost true
Soon sunrise
Will cast her glow over me
It's just like a movie
For these last few hours
I'll close my eyes and pretend
I'm almost beside you
I was told I could see you
At your place
A silhouette from the picture
Framing my face
I will hold you like I hold on to my dreams
I will hold you like I hold on to my dreams
Now it's time to hide away once again
Now we've come so far
I know we'll get through in the end
That's what I told you
Almost in love

Welcome to Heaven :
We finish as we start
I relinquish everything
By merely taking part
Now I feel so hollow
I'm glad you feel the same
Where once I'd turn away
Now I struggle to remain
You talk of contribution
Heaven knows, I've tried
I reach out to hold you
But now my arms are tied
I feel a new sense of power
I try and hold it in
But where does thinking end
And thoughtlessness begin
So welcome to our Heaven
You women and you men
Pistol - whipped forever
By the Governmental pen
There can be no amnesty
For terrorists like us
We used to be such romantics
Now our bubble's burst

Twins like us were bound to get along
Cold from the old days living life alone
But if it could be that I was you and you were me
I'd help you to see: you've got to be yourself
Look after the boy
I remember him well
I left you at the station
With a small electric toy held in his hand
Shy from me, he hid behind your skirt where it began
Like a man, trying everything
So breathe me in
Inside of these words
You must admit when we gelled was something worth
Deep and truthful, would compel you to stay
And find yourself through all of me this way
Now I see the scale of all the years you've had to live alone,
like a stone
Cold and hard and scattered on the beach, out of reach:
The tide just pushed and pulled you
Something's changed
Changed my way of being
Changed my way of life
You know I could be whatever you charged me up with
For it can be revealed now: I put my hand inside the Bell-Jar
I'm checking out you, you're checking out me
Steel and crystal so shiny and strong
All along
Twins like us were born to be OK
Anyway,
I guess you've somewhat autographed the boy
Guess we've made him our push-me-pull-you toy
When the love can't take reveals you as a fake
For these lost years will show that this union was the right way
Darling girl, I'll tell you
I'm gonna love you till I'm ashes
I put my hand inside the Bell-Jar
I'm checking out you, you're checking out me
Now hear: now this: now kill: now kiss
Now fade away
Anyway
