2.HURTS LIKE HEAVEN

Written in graffiti on a bridge in a park
Do you ever get the feeling that you're missing the mark?
It's so cold, it's so cold
It's so cold, it's so cold
Written up in marker on a factory sign
I struggle with the feeling that my life isn't mine It's so Cold, it's so cold
It's so cold, it's so cold
See the arrow that they shot, trying to tear us apart Fire from my belly and the beat from my heart
Still I won't let go
Still I won't let go
You
Ooohooh
Cause you do

Oh you, use your heart as a weapon And it hurts like heaven

On every street, every car, every surface are names
And at the streets arise, i'll be rather insane
Don't let them take control
No we won't let take control ]
Yes, I feel a little bit nervous, Yes, I feel nervous and I Cannot relax, How come they're out to get us?
How come they're out when they don't know the facts?
So on concrete canvas under cover of dark
Concrete canvas, I'll go making my mark
Armed with a spray can soul
I'll be armed with a spray can soul
You Ooohooh
Oh, you Ooohooh

Yes, you
You use your heart as a weapon
And it hurts like heaven

Woho-ooh
Woho-oooh

It's true
When you
Use your heart as a weapon
It hurts like heaven.


3.PARADISE

Ooooh...

When she was just a girl,
She expected the world,
But it flew away from her reach,
So she ran away in her sleep.

And dreamed of para-para-paradise,
Para-para-paradise,
Para-para-paradise,
Every time she closed her eyes.

Ooooh...

When she was just a girl,
She expected the world,
But it flew away from her reach,
And bullets catch in her teeth.

Life goes on,
It gets so heavy,
The wheel breaks the butterfly.
Every tear, a waterfall.
In the night, the stormy night,
She closed her eyes.
In the night, the stormy night,
Away she flied.

And dreamed of para-para-paradise,
Para-para-paradise,
Para-para-paradise,
Whoa-oh-oh oh-oooh oh-oh-oh.

She dreamed of para-para-paradise,
Para-para-paradise,
Para-para-paradise,
Whoa-oh-oh oh-oooh oh-oh-oh.

La, la, la...

And so lying underneath those stormy skies
She'd say, "oh, ohohohoh I know the sun must set to rise"

This could be
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Oh oh oh oh oh oh-oh-oh

This could be
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
This could be
Para-para-paradise
Oh oh oh oh oh oh-oh-oh-oh

This could be
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
This could be
Para-para-paradise
Oh oh oh oh oh oh-oh-oh-oh

Ooooh...


4.CHARLIE BROWN

I stole a key
Took a car downtown where the lost boys meet
Took a car downtown and took what they offered me
To set me free

I saw the lights go down at the end of the scene
I saw the lights go down and standing in front of me

In my scarecrow dreams
When they smash my heart into smithereens
Be a bright red rose come bursting through concrete
Be a cartoon heart

Light a fire, a fire, a spark
Light a fire, a flame in my heart
We'll run wild oh
We'll be glowing in the dark
We'll be glowing in the dark

All the boys, all the girls
All that matters in the world
All the boys, all the girls
All the madness that occurs
All the highs, all the lows
As the room a-spinning goes

We'll run riot
We'll be glowing in the dark

So we'll soar
Luminous and wired
We'll be glowing in the dark


5.US AGAINST THE WORLD

Oh morning
Come bursting
The clouds they break
Lift off this blindfold, let me see again
And bring back the water that your ships rode in
In my heart you left a hole

The tightrope that I'm walking just sways and ties
The devil as he's talking with those angel's eyes
And I just want to be there when the lightning strikes
And the saints go marching in

And sing it
Slow-owow-owow-owow-it down
Through chaos as it swirls
It's just us against the world

Like a river to a raindrop
I lost a friend
My drunken head's a devil in a lion's den
And tonight I know it all has to begin again
So whatever you do, don't let go

And if we could float away
Fly up to the surface
And just start again
And lift off before trouble just erodes us in the rain
Just erodes us in the rain
Just erodes us, erodes us in the rain

Sing
Slow-owow-owow-owow-it down
Oh, slow-owow-owow-owow-it down

Through chaos as it swirls
It's us against the world

Through chaos as it swirls
It's us against the (world)


6.M.M.I.X

Somewhere up above the stars
The wreckage of a universe floats past
Somewhere up above my heart
A tiny little seed is sown,
A government is overthrown,
Who knows when we'll be coming home at last
And I heard it on the radio
That one day we'll be living in the stars
And I heard it on a tv show
That somewhere up above
And in my heart
They'll be tearing us apart,
Maybe moving us to mars
Past the satellites and stars,
Maybe moving us to mars
We won't see the earth again
In these seconds just remain unchanged
8 to 9, 9 to 10
We are meeting for the first time
We might never meet again you and me
We are meeting for the first time
Can't you see
76543
We are meeting for the first time
Singing this space symphony
They'll be tearing us apart moving us to mars,
Past the satellites and stars
They're moving us to mars


7.EVERY TEARDROP IS A WATERFALL

I turn the music up, I got my records on
I shut the world outside until the lights come on
Maybe the streets alight, maybe the trees are gone
I feel my heart start beating to my favourite song

And all the kids they dance, all the kids all night
Until Monday morning feels another life
I turn the music up
I'm on a roll this time
And heaven is in sight

Uh...

I turn the music up, I got my records on
From underneath the rubble sing a rebel song
Don't want to see another generation drop
I'd rather be a comma than a full stop

Maybe I'm in the black, maybe I'm on my knees
Maybe I'm in the gap batween the two trapezes
But my heart is beating and my pulses start
Cathedrals in my heart

As we saw oh this light
I swear you, emerge blinking into
To tell me it's alright
As we soar walls,
Every siren is a symphony
And every tear's a waterfall
Is a waterfall
Oh
Is a waterfall
Oh oh oh
Is a is a waterfall
Every tear
Is a waterfall
Oh oh oh

So you can hurt, hurt me bad
But still I'll raise the flag

Oh
It was a wa wa wa wa wa-a-terfall
A wa wa wa wa wa-aterfall

Every tear
Every tear

Every teardrop is a waterfall

Every tear
Every tear

Every teardrop is a waterfall


8.MAJOR MINUS

They got one eye on watching you
One eye, what you do?
So be careful who it is you're talking to

They got one eye on watching you
One eye, what you do?
So be careful what it is you're trying to do

And be careful, may I lose you, I walk with you
And be careful when you're walking into view

Ooh-oooh-oooh
Ooh-oooh-oooh-ooh
Got one eye on the road and one on you!

Ooh-oooh-oooh
Ooh-oooh-oooh-ooh
Got one eye on the road and one on...

They got one eye on watching you
One eye, what you do?
So be careful 'cause nothing they say is true

But they don't believe a word
It's just us against the world
And we just gotta turn up to be heard

I Hear those crocodiles ticking 'round the world
I Hear those crocodiles ticking (they go) ticking 'round the world

Ooh-oooh-oooh
Ooh-oooh-oooh-ooh
Got one eye on the road and one on you!

Ooh-oooh-oooh
Ooh-oooh-oooh-ooh
Got one eye on the road.

She can't hear them climbing the stairs
I got my right side fighting
While my left hides under the chairs

Ooh-oooh-oooh
Ooh-oooh-oooh-ooh
Got one eye on the road and one on you!

Ooh-oooh-oooh
Ooh-oooh-oooh-ooh
Got one eye on the road and one on you


9.U.F.O.

Lord I don't know which way I am going
Which way, the river gonna flow
It just seems that upstream, I keep rowing

Still got such a long way to go
Still got such a long way to go

Then that light, it's your eye
I know, I swear, wel''find somewhere
The streets are made of gold
Bullets fly, split the skies
But that's all right, sometimes,
Sunlight comes streaming through the holes

Oooohhh ooooohh


10.PRINCESS OF CHINA

Once upon a time somebody ran
Somebody ran away saying as fast as I can
I got to
Go
I got to go

Once upon a time we fell apart
You're holding in your
Hands
The two halves of my heart

Once upon a time
We weren't right

All we ever seemed to do is fight
On and on
And on and on and on

Once
Upon a time on the same side
Once upon a time on the same side
In the same game

Why'd you have to go
Have to go and throw it all in my face

I could've been a
Princess, you'd be a king
Could have had a castle and wore a ring
But no
You
Let me go
I could've been a princess, you'd be a king
Could have had a castle and wore
A ring
But no
You let me go

You stole my star
La la la la la
La
You stole my star
La la la la la la

'Cause you really hurt me

Oh you really hurt me
'Cause you really hurt me
Oh you really hurt me
'Cause
You really hurt me
Oh you really hurt me
'Cause you really hurt me
You really
Hurt me


11.UP IN FLAMES

So it's over
This time I know it's gone
Salt water
Tasted it too long

I only know I'm wrong
Now I know it's gone

Up in flames
Up in flames
Up in flames
We have slowly gone.

So it's over
This time you're flying on
This time i know no song
Can stop its slowly burn
Can stop its slowly gone

Up in flames
Up in flames
Up in flames
We have slowly gone

Up in flames
Up in flames
Up in flames
We have slowly gone
We have slowly gone

Can we pour some water on?


12.A HOPEFUL TRANSMISSION

Instrumental


13.DON'T LE IT BREAK YOUR HEART

And if I lost the map
If I lost it all
Or fell into the trap
Then she'd call
'When you're tired of racing
And you find you never left the start
Come on baby
Don't let it break your heart'

Though heavily we bled
Still on we crawl
Try to catch a cannonball
And a slowly burning tide
Through my veins is flowing
From my shipwreck I heard her call

'When you're tired of aiming your arrows
Still you never hit the mark
Even in your rain and shadows
Still we're never going to part
Come on baby
Don't let it break your heart'


14.UP WITH THE BIRDS

The birds they sang
The break of day
Start again I hear them say
It's so hard to just walk away

The birds they sang
All a choir
Start again a little higher
It's a spark in a sea of grey

The sky is blue
Dreamed of light til it's true
Then take it back the pause shall through
My arms turn wings
All those clumsy things
Send me up to the wonderful world
And then i'm up with the birds

Might have to go
Where they don’t know my name
Float all over the world
Just to see her again
And I won’t show a fear, any pain
Even though all my armor might rust in the rain

A simple plot
But I know one thing
Good things are coming our way

A simple plot
But I know one thing
Good things are coming our way
