Over the sea and far away She's waiting like an iceberg Waiting to change But she's cold inside She wants to be like the water All the muscles tighten in her face Buries her soul in one embrace They're one and the same Just like water The fire fades away Most of everyday Is full of tired excuses But it's too hard to say I wish it were simple But we give up easily You're close enough to see that You're the other side of the world to me On comes the panic light Holding on with fingers and feelings alike But the time has come To move along The fire fades away Most of everyday Is full of tired excuses But it's too hard to say I wish it were simple But we give up easily You're close enough to see that You're the other side of the world Can you help me Can you let me go And can you still love me When you can't see me anymore And the fire fades away Most of everyday Is full of tired excuses But it's too hard to say I wish it were simple But we give up easily You're close enough to see that You're the other side of the world Oh, the other side of the world You're the other side of the world to me
Those mist covered mountains Are a home now for me But my home is the lowlands And always will be Some day you'll return to Your valleys and your farms And you'll no longer burn To be brothers in arms Through these fields of destruction Baptism of fire I've whittnessed your suffering As the battles raged higher And though they did hurt me so bad In the fear and alarm You did not desert me My brothers in arms There's so many different worlds So many different suns And we have just one world But we live in different ones Now the sun's gone to hell And the moon's riding high Let me bid you farewell Every man has to die But it's written in the starlight And every line on your palm We're fools to make war On our brothers in arms
Losing the star without a sky Losing the reasons why You're losing the calling that you've been faking And I'm not kidding It's damned if you don't and it's damned if you do Be true 'cause they'll lock you up in a sad sad zoo Oh hidy hidy hidy what cha tryin to prove By hidy hidy hiding you're not worth a thing Sew your fortunes on a string And hold them up to light Blue smoke will take A very violent flight And you will be changed Sand everything And you will be in a very sad sad zoo. I once was lost but now i'm found was blind But now I see you How selfish of you to believe in the meaning of all the bad dreaming Metal heart you're not hiding Metal heart you're not worth a thing Metal heart you're not hiding Metal heart you're not worth a thing

I'm not trying to say that everybody wants to go But I fell in love on the seaside On the seaside In the seaside
The glove compartment isn't accurately named And everybody knows it. So i'm proposing a swift orderly change. Cause behind its door there's nothing to keep my fingers warm And all i find are souvenirs from better times Before the gleam of your taillights fading east To find yourself a better life. I was searching for some legal document As the rain beat down on the hood When i stumbled upon pictures i tried to forget And that's how this idea was drilled into my head Cause it's too important To stay the way it's been There's no blame for how our love did slowly fade And now that it's gone it's like it wasn't there at all And here i rest where disappointment and regret collide Lying awake at night There's no blame for how our love did slowly fade And now that it's gone it's like it wasn't there at all And here i rest where disappointment and regret collide Lying awake at night (up all night) When i'm lying awake at night.

He said to lose my life or lose my love That's the nightmare I've been running from So let me hold you in my arms a while I was always careless as a child And there's a part of me that still believes, My soul will soar above the trees But a desperate fear flows through my blood That our dead love is buried beneath the mud Let's grow old together And die at the same time I said 'I've got no time, I have to go' And I was more right than I will ever know He said 'my heart is fate' well mine's regret And left him crying next to the chapel steps Let's grow old together And die at the same time
All the way from Waco to WeHo With a rabbit on her chain Drove a little slick car to tend bar With the static on her brain She's a little burner, burner Gonna throw you to the flame Little ticking time bomb, time bomb Gonna blow us all away Oh, take the time to waste a moment Oh, never ask to be forgiven Tucsy, he was her boyfriend, with no kin Always running from the law Every other weekend, the week ends With his back in her claw He's a livewire, wired Shooting sparks in the night He’s a gun for a hire, hired With a bead in his sights Oh, take the time to waste a moment Oh, facing where the lines are broken Oh, name your price to all this living Oh, never ask to be forgiven Oh, take the time to waste a moment Oh, face it where the lines are broken Oh, name a price to all that's living Oh, never ask to be forgiven
Oh they hide it in their beds, they grow it in their sheds They serve it up in cups from overseas In the gardens in the trees And if we're kicking up a fuss, it's only cause we must Let the world begin to understand Begin to understand And so we're running down our street, arms stretched out to the sky Antennas for the poison and the lies The delinquency of time Separated by a wall they had us build and raise I'm waiting for the call… I can't wait Luna, they're coming down now And it was always on the cards Luna, the doors are open And you will have to start taking sides Luna, the doors are open You could not burn faster if you tried
Sinto chegar a hora Meu corpo pede: Agora! Quero voltar pro lugar Que não vai mais me espera Devo voltar logo Enquanto me reconheço Quanto mais eu vivo Menos eu esqueço. …Uma temporada fora de mim. Solitude é apelido Quando você assumir? Isso é solidão do cão Que mora em ti. Há muitas noites eu me sinto só Às vezes entendo, às vezes não Às vezes me basto, às vezes não Às vezes vivo, às vezes não Às vezes sonho o que não é. Eu sou velho demais pra morrer Uma temporada fora de mim Só se explica assim Uma temporada fora de mim Isso é a vida no fim Uma temporada fora de mim Eu não vim nessa terra Pra não morrer de amor.
Hey, girl Usei Elton John pra dizer que te amo Mas errei da sétima vez, Na sétima nota do meu piano Industrialmente feito pra dizer Que eu desafino com você Nesse meu coração atonal Coração atonal [x3] Hey, girl Usei The Beatles pra dizer que te amo Mas errei da sétima vez, Na sétima nota do meu engano Orgasticamente pra dizer Que eu desafino com você Nesse meu coração atonal Coração atonal [x3]
Meu codinome é dinamite! Meu apelido é explosão! Queimando as cordas pela pista eu sigo em plena contramão. Garota, escute com cuidado... Sou osso duro de roer! E se eu te agarro pela noite eu largo em pleno amanhecer. Eu não preciso te dizer,que do meu lado é pra valer. Do meu lado é pra valer! Meu codinome é dinamite! Meu apelido é explosão! Queimando as cordas pela pista eu sigo em plena contramão Não vá pensar que no meu peito,não bate nenhum coração... Mas quem acompanha o Homem Brasa é a Garota Explosão! E eu não preciso te dizer,que do meu lado é pra valer! Do meu lado é pra valer
