Stick to you like a satellite Fixed in its orbit, I surround you A blinking arc of light, in the sky at night Love's the stimulant of all calamity Sentimentality is my insanity, I know I know, but I keep turning on Dreamed that you slipped away, far away I woke up calling your name Yeah, but I keep turning on You could go now and run A supernova of the sun But don't you go Don't you go And don't you leave We are bound together by our gravity Hearts that matter don't let the anti-matter break them free Don't you go (set them free) no don't you go (set them free) I keep turning on I keep turning on I keep turning on I keep turning on I stick to you I orbit you A black hole void that I'm falling into A starless abiding night Compulsion it is pulling down My propulsion fading it's losing ground Compulsion, it is pulling down I try to avoid but I can't get out no Go now, go now You could go now you could go now, you could go now But don't you go And don't you leave We are bound together by our gravity Hearts that matter don't let the anti-matter break them free No don't you go And don't you leave We are fatal bodies in the galaxy Hearts that matter don't let the anti-matter break them free Our gravity (set them free) Our gravity (set them free) Our gravity (set them free)

The lines are drawn But you can reach across You can reach across Landmines are buried in the sand, buried in the past The i's were dotted and the t's long crossed but I reached across for you For you, for you What was bitten what was burned Fears the heat, heart is beating quickly Take cover we are bound by our hands, by our feet The dance begins with agitation But you know this was choreographed in 1917 In the floodlight's glare no love is fair, but I look to you And I see abuse, abuse within abuse Like a nesting doll in a market stall Your front face, it's just one face darling Take cover, we are bound Are we dead are we alive Is there someone looking after us Or are we simply drawn by the lines Will anybody save our souls, our souls Can we find a way to erase the lines Can we find a way Can we find a way to efface this game of slave and master And erase the lines Will anybody save our souls Will anybody save our souls Will anybody save our souls In the sterile seas of logic I am watching I am waiting What is growing what is fading Will anybody save Are we dead are we alive Is there someone looking after us Or are we simply drawn by the lines Is there someone looking after us Erase the contours of my life Looking after, oh, the contours of my life Will anybody save our souls, our souls, our souls, our souls Well you knew from the beginning that this was less than ideal Yes you knew from the beginning Our souls Our souls Our souls Our

Voici chez moi, soixante-treizième rue, dans une ville américaine Ici les rideaux sont fermés, et les verrous toujours bloqués Quand la nuit tombe on est méfiant de malfaisance Les voyous sortent quand la nuit tombe Je vois des choses qui ne vont pas La vie n’est ni toute noire ni toute blanche Si je te tends la main vas-tu me décévoir? Sur cette terre de quatre-cent million d'armes Si on est effrayés, égarés Doit-on se réfugier Dans les plis d’une histoire violente? Ce n’est pas le moment pour cela Le défi c’est la douceur, toujours la douceur dans le cœur Ce n’est pas le moment pour cela La conquête c'est une enquête pour tous qu'il faut pour garder l'espoir Dans ce monde C’est le temps de l’amour, le temps du respect Laisse tomber l’ouest sauvage, un concept du passé On se prend en main, c’est le moment pour la paix S’il vous plaît Nos quatre-cent millions armes Toi et moi, toi et moi Trente-trois milles âmes perdues Qu’est ce qu’on fait, qu’est ce qu’on défait Sommes-nous désespérés, écœurés? Est-ce-qu'on doit s'ennerver? Est-ce-qu'on doit s'ennerver? Comment accepter cela? Quand la vie, elle coule entre nos doigts Ce n’est pas le moment pour cela Le défi c’est la douceur, toujours la douceur dans le cœur Ce n’est pas le moment pour cela La conquête c'est une enquête pour tous qu'il faut pour garder l'espoir Tu m’as dit n’oublie pas ta part dans ce monde Je vous en pris, pourquoi la vie est fait ainsi? Domination, domination Puis-je m’enfuir, trouver un pays plus placide? Subjugation, subjugation Je vous en pris donne-moi la fois, l’espoir, ces quatre cent millions armes Donne-moi la vie, l'espoir Donne-moi la vie, l’espoir, ces quatre cent millions armes Donne-moi la vie, l'espoir

Must I stand still in the dark? Feet fixed two stones that never made a spark no Like a diamond soon to be mined There's no beat in this lattice of a heart no Must I fool my double image When a rare ray of light reveals a double vision Yes I've been known to pantomime The lips move, but the body's stuck in time My dreams were trapped oh but love refracts my soul A crystal cage, oh my nights and days I'm gonna break free yeah I will decide what my life will be Break on free yeah I won't stand my while my life is made for me Crystal cage and I turn the page Gonna take my chances do it my way Crystal cage, crystal cage Let it all go let it all be yeah Sylvia had her bell jar And Simone feared the life of the boudoir Can you believe we made it this far To trade one gilded grave for another one? My dreams were trapped oh, but love refracts, my soul A crystal cage oh, my nights and days I'm gonna break free yeah I will decide what my life will be Break on free yeah I won't stand my while my life is made for me I got a crystal cage I got a gilded grave I got a life of spades that's why I gotta get away I got a crystal cage I got a gilded grave I got a life of spades that's why I gotta get away I got a crystal cage I got a gilded grave I got a life of spades that's why I gotta get away

All this getting ahead, all this leaving behind All this losing of heads, are we out of our minds? I am fortunate, I cast my dreams like hooks to the water Sheared, shaken, under strain, but they are shimmering in the sun, saying Can I get a wave, can I get a wave? Can I get a wave, to carry me I am getting ahead, what am I leaving behind What of a life spent pushing getting to the front of the line? Sometimes I think that the world is on a string on the brink of destruction Sometimes I worry that all this work and hurry's for naught Because you'll find me, where we'll all be At the bottom of the sea (Can I get a wave, can I get a wave, can I get? Can I get a wave?) We will be empty as can be (Can I get a wave, can I get a wave, can I get? Can I get a wave?) Sinking down with detritus and debris Yeah what is left of you and me (Can I get a wave, can I get a wave, can I get? Can I get a wave?) Will be the bottles in, bottles in the sea (Can I get a wave, can I get a wave, can I get? Can I get a wave?) Carry me 'Cause we are swimming in an ocean of ideals This is a battle of ideas We must go swimming but some of us are drowning Good God I'm drowning in your sea of ideals Can't breathe I'm floundering in your battle of ideas Dear God I'm drowning in your sea of ideals Can't breathe I'm floundering in the battle of ideas Winter night drive talk radio Bodies floating in the Mediterranean They were importunately knocking at the door Of an Occident that doesn't care anymore The flares were bright lit up the night Who makes the choice, who lives or dies? Who reaches shore, Calypso's cave? And who sinks into a watery grave? With all the bottles and the useless things we've made Can I get a wave, can I get a wave? Can I get a wave? At the bottom of the sea (Can I get a wave, can I get a wave, can I get? Can I get a wave?) We will be empty as can be (Can I get a wave, can I get a wave, can I get? Can I get a wave?) Sinking down with detritus and debris Yes what is left of you and me (Can I get a wave, can I get a wave, can I get? Can I get a wave?) Will be the bottles in, bottles in the sea (Can I get a wave, can I get a wave, can I get? Can I get a wave?) Carry me 'Cause we are swimming in an ocean of ideals This is a battle of ideas We must go swimming but some of us, some of us are Some of us are drowning Some of us are drowning (some of us are drowning) Some of us are drowning Some of us are drowning, drowning (some of us are drowning) If I sit on the floor, close my eyes, see through blindness Take my heart on my sleeve, try to breathe, what is timeless Could we cast suffering out, on a boat, that we're rowing Steadily along, steadily along Now I sit in my car, motor runs, what is constant There is lightness in being, but we sink, when in water Could we cast suffering out, on a boat, keep on rowing Steadily along, steadily along Now I sit in my car, wave my flag, of surrender There is lightness in being, but we sink, when in water Could we cast, suffering out, on a boat, that we're rowing Steadily along, steadily along
