1.Swing Your Heartache
We do not believe that love is free
cause anything worth fighting for doesn't come for free
we believe in time that you will see
how a war might save us
how a war might save us
we believe in time that you will see
the institutions of the world will only serve to enslave us.
it's time for you and i to face the signs and realize that
living's a battle
for all the times we cried and told the lies and realized life's
not a rehearsal
come on babe, swing your heartache
come on babe, swing your heartache
we have learned that hope does not come cheap
we all must sacrifice in the name of our beliefs
we believe in time that you will see
the frontier is misery
the frontier is misery
what do you think it is that makes us free?
a life without boundaries if you question everything
it's time for you and i to face the signs and realize that
living's a battle
for all the times we've cried and told the lies and realized
life's not a rehearsal
come on babe, swing your heartache
come on babe, swing your heartache
here's something that you should know
getting older doesn't always mean you grow
turning from the shadows following behind you
to stare at the sun can easily blind you
the only way to learn, you're not afraid to die
could very well involve risking your life
despite the contradictions that these worlds imply,
you've got to live on, live on, live on.
come on babe (repeat to fade)
2.No Matter How Hard You Try
hang around
you hang around
like a city full of setting suns
and here's to your health
then drown yourselves
to render the disappointment stunned
and the city sleeps
while others creep
trying to shake the night's mistakes
unlike every face
caught in the race
i am not ashamed
'cause in the back of my mind
is a feeling so glad
there is a stillness
untouched by human hands
and a voice that sighs
'oh, you won't get out
of this world alive
no matter how hard you try
try, try'
(no matter how hard you try
no matter how hard you try)
can't sleep
oh i can't sleep
so i send a message down the wires
as the hurt spins and the air begins
my thoughts will secretly conspire
to find the way to change my days
to find the bit of higher ground
unlike every day
that falls away
i will face the sun
'cause in the back of my mind
is a feeling so glad
there is a stillness
untouched by human hands
and a voice that sighs
'oh, you won't get out
of this world alive
no matter how hard you try
try, try'
(no matter how hard you try
no matter how hard you try
no matter how hard you try)
no, you won't get out of this world alive
(no matter how hard you try)
no, you won't get out of this world alive
(no matter how hard you try)
no, you won't get out of this world alive
(no matter how hard you try)
no, you won't get out of this world alive
3.Outside The City
From where I live
You know, it looks to me
That here is there
and there is here
Sometimes I'm blind
with cinq-a-sept and take out
lose ourselves
and make out
From where I lay
You know, it seems to me
That I am you
and You are me
Sometimes I'm blind
With lake and evergreens
Pace ourselves
and Edit scenes
Outside the city I see
I see I'm inside out
Outside the city I see
I see I'm inside out
Outside the city I see
I see I'm inside out
Outside the city I see
I see I'm inside out
From there to here
And between you and me
Our streets and alleys
Are filled with sea
Sometimes I'm blind
With everybody's dreams
Push ourselves
Swim upstream
City, City release me
City, City release me
4.Lazy Religion
I forget what I came
to see you for
and what it was
that I wanted to say
I know, I know
if you chase
after your mind
it'll only keep running away
keep running away
I don't mind
take what you want
it's a lazy religion
keeps me on fire
I don't mind
take what you want
it's a lazy religion
keeps me on fire
what would you do
if all you believe in
lifted away
just like heat from a gun
I know, I know
people are just traces
like smoke on the lake
and dust in the sun
the blinding sun
I don't mind
take what you want
it's a lazy religion
keeps me on fire
I don't mind
take what you want
it's a lazy religion
keeps me on fire
I've travelled the Earth
the only truth I've found
the lake invented the mirror
and the sun works underground
I've travelled the Earth
the only truth I've found
the lake invented the mirror
and the sun works underground
I don't mind
take what you want
it's a lazy religion
keeps me on fire
I don't mind
take what you want
it's a lazy religion
keeps me on fire
fire
5.Wailing Wall
dialed your number
you blocked my call
your back is my wailing wall
empty the bottle
mourn the loss
devotion no matter what the cost
called it praying
when you speak
part of something
bigger than me
dialed your number
you blocked my call
your back is my wailing wall
dialed your number
you blocked my call
your back is my wailing wall
called it praying
when you speak
part of something
bigger than me
empty the bottle
mourn the loss
devotion no matter what the cost
dialed your number
you blocked my call
your back is my wailing wall
dialed your number
you blocked my call
your back is my wailing wall
dialed your number
you blocked my call
your back is my wailing wall
your back is my wailing wall
your back is my wailing wall
your back is my wailing wall
your back is my wailing wall
6.The Sun's Coming Up And My Plane's Going Down
some feelings are so simple
but too hard to state
and I know it's too late to say it
but I've changed my ways
I didn't know how to reach you
how to show myself
I could give you what you wanted now
but you're onto something else
the sun's coming up
and my plane is going down
the sun's coming up
and my plane is going down
the sky seems so blue
it's bound to drown my eyes
and the world below is beautiful
it makes me cry
I still care about it all
thanks to you
but too little came too late for us
it'll all be over soon
the sun's coming up
and my plane is going down
the sun's coming up
and my plane is going down
the sun's coming up
and my plane is going down
the sun's coming up
and my plane is going down
the sun's coming up
and my plane is going down
the sun is coming up
and my plane is going down
the sun is coming up
the sun is coming up
the sun is coming up
the sun is coming up
the sun is coming up
7.Searchlight
Your light's still on
At 3 A.M.
I can't help
But scan the apartments
But yes, se, there is a light
And I wonder
Are you lonely tonight
Just as on your own as I am
Will a sixth sense
Draw you outside?
Look for me again love
I am the searchlight
In the hush of the falling snow
We could go find a place to come alive
Under the park lights
I remember the feeling
Of your hand up under my jacket
It got so cold out here sometimes
Yeah we came here
To trip all sunday
Oblvious to Everyone
Things were good whn we were young
Look for m again love
I am the searchlight
In the hush of the falling snow
We could go find a place to come alive.
8.Lost In The Call
9.Come And See
Look up here,
Most pople can't make out the difference
But it could be a small change
In the light
And sometimes
We watch out lives align
But the questions remain:
Did you will it? Is Sight benign
Is it coincidence of connection?
Come and See
Fall to your knees
and hear the call
Are you still lovesick for it all
Is it you that
Bgithens the same sea that
Curves my path and life-lines
Is your shine like mine?
And the difference between
Betting you life or dying
Could rebeal itself in a small change
In the light
Is this coincidence or connection?
come and see
fall to your knees
and hear the call
Are you still lovesick for it all?
10.Embers
Oh lord there's a ghost train running through my head
Everynight I her it serenade the sunset
Oh lord there's a deep blue ocean in my dreams
Calling to me from behind the veil of sleep
I'm afraid I've lost my way
Afraid I've lost my way
I set out like a scout
But I've run out
Oh lord there's a beach tree where I find my shade
I remember breaking down beneath it's sway
Oh lord there's a cascade mountain in my dreams
Calling to me from behind the fog of sleep
And It's awalys out of reach
It's always out of reach
I set out like a scout
but I've run out
Father mother I burn so true
My blaze is brigher when near to you
I smoke and spark without your fuel
An ember from the heart of you
Sisters brothers I burn for you
I light the night searching for you
I signal the sky for you
an ember from the heart of you
an ember from the heart of you
an ember from the heart of you
11.The Alchemy Between Us
Amid the cold lines of the city
lay down your head
To quiet all the sadness
To feel what's possible instead
your Grace
I think I found the perfect way
To explain it
Close your eyes
And move
Within the alchemy
Between us
Can alchemy sustain us
While the world, it falls apart?
This instinct keeps us searching
a cure for broken hearts
You grace
I think I found the perfect way
To explain it
Close your eyes
and move
Within the alchemy
Between us
