Hey you, out there in the cold, getting lonely, getting old, can you feel me? Hey you, standing in the aisles with itchy feet and fading smiles, can you feel me? Hey you, don't help them to bury the light, don't give in without a fight. Hey you, out there on your own, sitting naked by the phone, would you touch me? Hey you, with you ear against the wall, waiting for someone to call out, would you touch me? Hey you, would you help me to carry the stone? Open your heart, I'm coming home. But it was only fantasy, rhe wall was too high, as you can see. No matter how he tried, he could not break free.. and the worms ate into his brain. Hey you, standing in the road, always doing what you're told, can you help me? Hey you, out there beyond the wall, breaking bottles in the hall, can you help me? Hey you, don't tell me there's no hope at all.. Together we stand, divided we fall.

Into the distance a ribbon of black
Stretched to the point of no turning back
A flight of fancy on a windswept field
Standing alone my senses reeled
A fatal attraction holding me fast
How can I escape this irresistible grasp?

Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth bound misfit, I.

Ice is forming on the tips of my wings
Unheeded warnings I thought I thought of everything
No navigator to guide my way home
Unladened, empty and turned to stone

A soul in tension that's learning to fly
Condition grounded but determined to try
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I.

Above the planet on a wing and a prayer,
My grubby halo, a vapour trail in the empty air
Across the clouds I see my shadow fly
Out of the corner of my watering eye
A dream unthreatened by the morning light
Could blow this soul right through the roof of the night

There's no sensation to compare with this
Suspended animation, a state of bliss
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I .

So .. so you think you can tell heaven from hell , blue skys from pain ? Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail , a smile from a veil ? Do you think you can tell ? And did they get you to trade your heros for ghosts , hot ashes for trees , hot air for a cool breeze , cold comfort for change ? And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage ? How I wish , how I wish you were here ! We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl , year after year , running over the same old ground . What have we found ? the same old fears .
Wish you were here ,

All that you touch

All that you see

All that you taste
All you feel
All that you love
All that you hate
All you distrust
All you save
All that you give
All that you deal
All that you buy ,
Beg borrow or steal .

All you create
All you destroy
All that you do
All that you say
All that you eat ,
And everyone you meet
All that you slight
And everyone you fight
All that is now
All that is gone
All that's to come

And everything under the sun is in tune , but the sun is eclipsed by the moon.-

Don't let me get me

No win first place , I don't support the team . I can' take direction , and my socks are never clean . Teacher dated me , my parents hated me ; I was always in a fight cuz I can't do nothin' right . Everyday I fight a war against the mirror , I can't take the person starin' back at me ; I'm a hazard to myself . Don't let me get me , I'm my own worst enemy . Its bad when you annoy yourself , so irritating . Don't wanna be my friend no more , I wanna be somebody else , I wanna be somebody else , yeah . LA told me: you'll be a pop star ; all you have to change is everything you are . Tired of being compared to damn Britney Spears ; she's so pretty , that just ain't me . So doctor , doctor won't you please prescribe somethin' ? A day in the life of someone else ? Cuz I'm a hazard to myself . Don't let me get me , I'm my own worst enemy . Its bad when you annoy yourself , so irritating . Don't wanna be my friend no more , I wanna be somebody else .
