Girls On Film

See them walking hand in hand across the bridge at midnight


Heads turning as the lights flashing out are so bright
And walk right out to the four line track
There’s a camera rolling on her back
On her back
And I sense a rhythm humming
in a frenzy all the way down her spine

Girls on Film
Girls on Film
Girls on Film
Girls on Film

Lipstick cherry all over the lens as she’s falling


And miles of sharp blue water coming in where she lies
The diving man’s coming up for air
‘Cause the crowd all love pulling Dolly by the hair
By the hair
And she wonders how she ever got here
as she goes under again

Girls on Film (Two minutes later)


Girls on Film
Girls on Film (Got your picture)
Girls on Film

Wider, baby, smiling you’ve just made a million


Fuses pumping live heat twisting out on a wire
Take one last glimpse into the night
I’m touching close
I’m holding bright, holding tight
Give me shudders in a whisper,
Take me up til I’m shooting a star

Girls on Film (she’s more than a lady)


Girls on Film
Girls on Film (Two minutes later)
Girls on Film
Girls on Film (see you together)

Girls on Film (see you later)

Planet Earth

Only came outside to watch the nightfall with the rain


I heard you making patterns rhyme
Like some new romantic looking for the TV sound
you’ll see I’m right some other time

look now, look all around, there’s no sign of life


voices, another sound, can you hear me now?
This is Planet Earth, you’re looking at Planet Earth
Bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop this is Planet Earth

My head is stuck on something precious


Let me know if you’re coming down to land
Is there anybody out there trying to get through?
My eyes are so cloudy I can’t see you

Look now, look all around, there’s no sign of life


Voices, another sound, can you hear me now?
This is Planet Earth, you’re looking at Planet Earth
Bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop this is Planet Earth

Look now, look all around, there’s no sign of life


Voices, another sound, can you hear me now?
This is Planet Earth, you’re looking at Planet Earth

Bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop this is Planet Earth
Bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop calling Planet Earth
Bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop this looking at Planet Earth
Bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop this is Planet Earth

Anyone Out There

I never found out what made you leave


And now the day’s over, just an hour to go
I tried to phone last night, but you never answered
Just left me ringing on the line

Outside
Is there anyone out there?
Anyone else outside?
Oh, outside
Is there anyone out there?
Anyone else outside?
My face in the mirror shows a break in time
A crack in the ocean that does not align
I tried to sleep last night, but I caught you dreaming
About days we used to wonder away

Outside
Is there anyone out there?
Anyone else outside?
Oh, outside
Is there anyone out there?
Anyone else outside?

Look out of the window,


Maybe you can call by my name
Another night over, babe,
Another light comes on in vain
I tried to phone last night, but you never answered
Just left me ringing in the air

Is there anyone out there? (anyone out there) Oh


Anyone out there? (anyone out there) Oh
Anyone out there? (anyone out there) Oh
Anyone out there? (anyone out there) Oh
Anyone out there? (anyone out there)

Careless Memories

So soon, just after you’ve gone


my senses sharpen
But it always takes
so damned long
before I feel how much
my eyes have darkened

Fear hangs a plane of gun smoke


drifting in our room
so easy to disturb
with a thought
with a whisper
with a careless memory

On the table
signs of love lie scattered
and the walls break
with a crashing within
It’s not as though
as though you really mattered
But being close,
how could I let you go
without some feeling
some precious sympathy following

Fear hangs a plane of gun smoke


drifting in our room
so easy to disturb
with a thought
with a whisper
with a careless memory

I walk out into the sun


I try to find a new day
but the whole place
it just screams in my eyes
where are you now?
cuz I don’t want to meet you
I think I’d die
I think I’d laugh at you
I think I’d cry
What am I supposed to do
follow you?

Outside the thoughts


come flooding back now
I just try to forget you
So easy to disturb
with a thought
with a whisper
with a careless memory

Is There Something I Should Know?

Please please tell me now


Please please tell me now
Please please tell me now
Please please tell me now

I made a break I run out yesterday


Tried to find my mountain hideaway
Maybe next year maybe no go
I know you’re watching me every minute of the day yeah
I’ve seen the signs and the looks and the pictures they give your game
Away yeah
There’s a dream that strings the road with broken glass for us to hold
And I cut so far before I had to stay

Please please tell me now is there something I should know


Is there something I should say that would make you come my way
Do you feel the same ’cause you don’t let it show

People stare and cross the road from me


And jungle drums they all clear the way for me
Can you read my mind can you see in the snow
And fiery demons all dance when you walk through that door
Don’t say you’re easy on me you’re about as easy as a nuclear war
There’s a dream that strings the road with broken glass for us to hold
And I got so far before I had to say

Please please tell me now is there something I should know


Is there something I should say that would make you come my way
Do you feel the same ’cause you don’t let it show

Please please tell me now is there something I should know


Please please tell me now can you see what makes me blow
Please please tell me now is there something I should know
Is there something I should say that would make you come my way
Rio

Moving on the floor now babe,


You’re a bird of paradise
Cherry ice cream smile, I suppose it’s very nice
With a step to your left and a flick to the right
You catch that mirror way out west
You know you’re something special
And you look like you’re the best

(CHORUS:)
Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand
Just like that river twisting through a dusty land
And when she shines she really shows you all she can
Oh Rio, Rio dance across the Rio Grande

I’ve seen you on the beach and I’ve seen you on TV


Two, of a billion stars, it means so much to me
Like a birthday or a pretty view
But then I’m sure that you know it’s just for you

(CHORUS)

Hey now (wow), look at that,


Did he nearly run you down?
At the end of the drive, the lawmen arrive,
You make me feel
Alive, alive, alive

I’ll take my chance, ’cause luck is on my side


I tell you something, I know what you’re thinking
I tell you something, I know what you’re thinking

(CHORUS)

Her name is Rio, she don’t need to understand


I might find her if I’m looking like I can
Oh Rio, Rio hear them shout across the land
From mountains in the north down to the Rio Grande

My Own Way
I saw you at the airace yesterday
April showers get out of my way
Fear of flying, no not me

I’m never bothered, what you say


Someone’s kid just lives for today
I ain’t your problem anyway

(CHORUS)
‘Cause I’ve got my own way
I can find my own way
‘Cause I’ve got my own way

No. 1 public figure, what a pain


Just puts another rattle in your brain
Take another green but it’s not the same

Now you’re on the Sandlane everyday


Dancing with the bulls in any old way
Running like a fox to keep up with me

(CHORUS)

I’m on 45th between Sixth and Broadway


7UP between Sixth and Broadway

Lonely In Your Nightmare

Even on the darkest night


When empty promise means empty hand
And soldiers coming home
Like shadows turning red
When the lights of hope are fading quickly
Then look to me
I’ll be your homing angel,
I’ll be in your head

Because you’re lonely in your nightmare


Let me in
And there’s heat beneath your winter
Let me in
I see the delta traces living lonely out on the limb
And a passing glimmer warm beneath your skin
Please tread gently on the ground
When all around you earth turns to fire
Only get a second chance when danger’s on the wind

Because you’re lonely in your nightmare


Let me in
Because there’s heat beneath your winter
Let me in
And it’s silent on your stone field
Let me in

Must be lucky weather when you find


The kind of wind that you need
C’mon, show me all the light and shade
That made your name
I know you’ve got it in your head,
I’ve seen that look before
You’ve built your refuge,
Turns you captive all the same

Because you’re lonely in your nightmare


Let me in
And it’s barren in your garden
Let me in
Because there’s heat beneath your winter
Let me in
Because it’s silent in your stone field
Let me in
And you’re lonely in your nightmare
Let me in
Because you’ve waited through your ice age
Let me in

Because you’re so lonely in your nightmare


Let me in
And it’s cold out on your stone range
Let me in
Because there’s heat beneath your winter
Let me in
.

Hungry Like The Wolf

Darken the city, night is a wire


Steam in the subway, earth is a afire
Do do do do do do do dodo dododo dodo
Woman, you want me, give me a sign
And catch my breathing even closer behind
Do do do do do do do dodo dododo dodo

In touch with the ground


I’m on the hunt I’m after you
Smell like I sound, I’m lost in a crowd
And I’m hungry like the wolf
Straddle the line in discord and rhyme
I’m on the hunt I’m after you
Mouth is alive with juices like wine
And I’m hungry like the wolf

Stalked in the forest, too close to hide


I’ll be upon you by the moonlight side
Do do do do do do do dodo dododo dodo
High blood drumming on your skin, it’s so tight
You feel my heart, I’m just a moment behind
Do do do do do do do dodo dododo dodo

In touch with the ground


I’m on the hunt I’m after you
Scent and a sound, I’m lost and I’m found
And I’m hungry like the wolf
Strut on a line, it’s discord and rhyme
I howl and I whine, I’m after you
Mouth is alive, al lrunning inside
And i’m hungry like the wolf

Hungry like the wolf


Hungry like the wolf
Hungry like the wolf

Burning the ground, I break from the crowd


I’m on the hunt, I’m after you
I smell like I sound, I’m lost and I’m found
And I’m hungry like the wolf
Strut on a line, it’s discord and rhyme
I’m on the hunt, I’m after you
Mouth is alive with juices like wine
And I’m hungry like the wolf

Hold Back The Rain

We’re miles away from nowhere


And the wind doesn’t have a name
So call it what you want to call it
Still blows down the lane

People tell me I haven’t changed at all


But I don’t feel the same
And I bet you’ve had that feeling, too
You just can’t laugh all the time

(CHORUS)
And if the fires burn out,
There’s only fire to blame
No time for worry ’cause we’re on the roam again
The clouds all scatter and
We ride the outside lane
Not on your own, so help me,
Please hold back the rain

So what if the words ain’t rhyming


Did you think that it’s just a game
I probably didn’t even say that right
And I really don’t give a damn

Okay, go off and wander


I’m guilty just the same
Sometimes you’re needed badly
So please come back again

(CHORUS)

New Religion
I’ve been now sauntering
Out and down the path sometime
Come on, it takes me nowhere, which I knew
Faces everywhere pulling grins and signs in things
Telling me not there, man, it’s no go
Don’t go there boy

I need a reason
I can’t think without one now
Too much learning got to show
Call it treason
Maybe catch her, don’t know how
Too many things, too much to know

Bring my timing in, seagulls gather on the wind


Lady screaming, lady leave me out
‘Cause sometimes people stare
Coming down, electric chair
And steaming crowds they gather and they shout

Don’t know why this evil bothers me


Take another chance boy, carry the fight,
you can take him if you’re fast
So why is he trying to follow me?
didn’t I say if you’re holding on
you’d be laughing at the last
How many reasons do they need?
I get along fine with them friends of mine
but you have to make a choice
I might just believe this time
You’re singing out of tune but the beat’s in time
and it’s us who makes the noise

I’m talking for free, I can’t stop myself,


It’s a new religion
I’ve something to see, I can’t help myself,
It’s a new religion

Okay, my reasoning might be clouded by the sun


But someone sees the departmental lie
You know this peacetime jabbing fist in stabbing knife
Only get one look before you die
Don’t know why this evil bothers me
Take another chance boy, carry the fight,
you can take him if you’re fast
So why is he trying to follow me?
didn’t I say if you’re holding on
you’d be laughing at the last
How many reasons do they need?
I get along fine with them friends of mine
but you have to make a choice
I might just believe this time
You’re singing out of tune but the beat’s in time
and it’s us who makes the noise

I’m talking for free, I can’t stop myself,


It’s a new religion
I’ve something to see, I can’t help myself,
It’s a new religion

Gotta take pay the saints ‘n sinners


In regulation hats ‘n scarves ‘n things
Walking in formation down the lane,
They carry their cross, make a church bell ring
Army majors pull a mean cool truth,
There lying in a swimming pool
Searching for the undeniable truth that
A man is just a fool

Don’t know why this evil bothers me


Take another chance boy, carry the fight,
you can take him if you’re fast
So why is he trying to follow me?
didn’t I say if you’re holding on
you’d be laughing at the last
How many reasons do they need?
I get along fine with them friends of mine
but you have to make a choice
I might just believe this time
You’re singing out of tune but the beat’s in time
and it’s us who makes the noise

I’m talking for free, I can’t stop myself,


It’s a new religion
I’ve something to see, I can’t help myself,
It’s a new religion
(repeat to fade)

Last Chance On The Stairway

I don’t remember quite how I met you,


Wasn’t long ago
Just get a picture of sun
In your eyes, the waves in your hair
Maybe it’s something said in a movie
Or you could’ve said last night
Just took me out on a limb
And I don’t really know what I’m doing here

And sometimes I’m caught in a landslide


My beat’s so in time, can you look at me
I’m out of reach, I’ll talk if it feels right
I’ve had my last chance on the stairway

Funny, it’s just like a scene out of Voltaire


Twisting out of sight
‘Cause when all the curtains are pulled back
We’ll turn and see the circles we traced
Ain’t no game…when you’re playing with fire
It doesn’t seem right that we fight
So the party runs on all night

And sometimes I’m caught in a landslide


My beats so in time, can you look at me
I’m out of reach, I’ll talk if it feels right
So nervous to say, tell me, can’t you see
If you want, I fall out forever
I can’t say no more…bebe dance with me
And please don’t say leave it till later
I’ve had my last chance on the stairway

Wonder why
Wonder why…what makes me rise so high
Maybe it’s something they put in your perfume
Or the look in your eyes
It could be the atmosphere sinking
I don’t even know what you’re thinking
Don’t even know what you’re drinking
But it keeps this heaven alive

And sometimes I’m caught in a landslide


My beats so in time, can you look at me
I’m out of reach, I’ll talk if it feels right
So nervous to say, tell me, can’t you see
If you want, I fall out forever
I can’t say no more…bebe dance with me
And please don’t say leave it till later
I’ve had my last chance on the stairway

Save A Prayer

You saw me standing by the wall,


Corner of a main street
And the lights are flashing on your window sill
All alone ain’t much fun,
So you’re looking for the thrill
And you know just what it takes and where to go

Don’t save a prayer for me now,


Save it ’til the morning after
No, don’t say a prayer for me now,
Save it ’til the morning after

Feel the breeze deep on the inside,


Look you down into the well
If you can, you’ll see the world in all his fire
Take a chance
(Like all dreamers can’t find another way)
You don’t have to dream it all, just live a day

Don’t say a prayer for me now,


Save it ’til the morning after
No, don’t say a prayer for me now,
Save it ’til the morning after
Save it ’til the morning after,
Save it till the morning after
Pretty looking road,
try to hold the rising floods that fill my skin
Don’t ask me why I’ll keep my promise,
I’ll melt the ice
And you wanted to dance so I asked you to dance
But fear is in your soul
Some people call it a one night stand
But we can call it paradise

Don’t say a prayer for me now,


Save it ’til the morning after
No, don’t say a prayer for me now,
Save it ’til the morning after
Save it ’til the morning after
Save it ’til the morning after
Save it ’til the morning after
Save it ’til the morning after

Save a prayer ’til the morning after

The Chauffeur

Out on the tar plains, the glides are moving


All looking for a new place to drive
You sit beside me, so newly charming
Sweating dew drops glisten, freshing your side

(CHORUS)
The sun slips down bedding heavy behind
The front of your dress all shadowy lined
And the droning engine throbs in time
With your beating heart
Sing Blue Silver

Way down the lane away, living for another day


The aphids swarm up in the drifting haze
Swim seagull in the sky
Towards that hollow western isle
My envied lady holds you fast in her gaze

(CHORUS)
And watching lovers part, I feel you smiling
What glass splinters lie so deep in your mind
To tear out from your eyes
With a word to stiffen brooding lies
But I’ll only watch you leave me further behind

(CHORUS)

The Reflex

You’ve gone too far this time but I’m dancing on the Valentine
I tell you somebody’s fooling around with my chances on the danger line
I’ll cross that bridge when I find it another day to make my stand ohh
High time is no time for deciding if I should find a helping hand ohh

Why don’t you use it ?


Try not to bruise it
Buy time don’t loose it
Why don’t you use it ?
Try not to bruise it
Buy time don’t loose it

The Reflex is a lonely child he’s waiting by the park


The Reflex is in charge of finding treasure in the dark
and watching over lucky clover isn’t that bizarre
Every little thing the reflex does leaves you answered with a question
mark

I’m on a ride and I want to get off


but they won’t slow down the round-about
I sold the Renoir and the T.V. set
Don’t want to be around when this gets out

Why don’t you use it ?


Try not to bruise it
Buy time don’t loose it
Why don’t you use it ?
Try not to bruise it
Buy time don’t loose it

The reflex is a lonely child he’s waiting in the park


The reflex is in charge of finding treasure in the dark
and watching over lucky clover isn’t that bizarre
Every little thing the reflex does leaves you answered with a question
mark

Why don’t you use it ?


Try not to bruise it
Buy time don’t loose it
Why don’t you use it ?
Try not to bruise it
Buy time don’t loose it

The reflex is a lonely child he’s waiting by the park


The reflex is in charge of finding treasure in the dark
and watching over lucky clover isn’t that bizarre
Every little thing the reflex does leaves you answered with a question
mark

The reflex, what a game, he’s hiding all the cards


The reflex is in charge of finding treasure in the dark
and watching over lucky clover isn’t that bizarre
Every little thing the reflex does leaves you answered with a question
mark

New Moon On Monday

Shake up the picture the lizard mixture


with your dance on the eventide
You got me coming up with answers
all of which I deny
I said it again
could I please rephrase it
maybe I can catch a ride
I couldn’t really put it much plainer
But I’ll wait till you decide
Send me your warning siren
as if I could ever hide
Last time La Luna

I light my torch and wave it for the


New moon on Monday
And a firedance through the night
I stayed the cold day with a lonely satellite
New moon on Monday
And a firedance through the night
I stayed the cold day with a lonely satellite

Breaking away with the best of both worlds


A smile that you can’t disguise
Every minute I keep finding
Clues that you leave behind
Save me from these reminders
As if I’d forget tonight
This time La Luna

I light my torch and wave it for the

New moon on Monday


And a firedance through the night
I stayed the cold day with a lonely satellite
New moon on Monday
And a firedance through the night
I stayed the cold day with a lonely satellite

I light my torch and wave it for the

New moon on Monday


And a firedance through the night
I stayed the cold day with a lonely satellite
New moon on Monday
And a firedance through the night
I stayed the cold day with a lonely satellite

Cracks In The Pavement

I shed my skin
when the party was about to begin
I’m light years away but I’m walking back
Tonight of all nights
When I should be feeling just right
Don’t want to be in public
My head is full of chopstick
I don’t like it

Something on my mind
breaking open doors I had sealed up before
Something on my mind
makes me run when I thought I’d run too far

Somebody shaking my tree


maybe that somebody is me
I’m standing in the light but I’m making a break
for the shadows on the cinema wall
They should be mine but I’m not that tall
Now I’m saying this in private
If I had a car I’d drive it Insane

Something on my mind
breaking open doors I had sealed up before
Something on my mind
makes me run when I thought I’d run too far
Something on my mind
breaking open doors I had sealed up before
Something on my mind
makes me run when I thought I’d run too far

I’m looking for cracks in the pavement

Something on my mind
breaking open doors I had sealed up before
Something on my mind
makes me run when I thought I’d run too far
Something on my mind
breaking open doors I had sealed up before
Something on my mind
makes me run when I thought I’d run too far

I Take The Dice

Midnight I think I’m gonna make it


Feel the magical lash of the roll and the crash in their lives
Headline in tomorrow’s papers
Kill that light it’s so bright
And you’re shining it right in my eyes

Show me your secret and tell me your name


catch me with your fizzy smile
Try to remember again and again
What it is that I recognise
Don’t ask me now
When I need you I don’t know how
to believe in your advice
Just this once I take the dice

Midnight so what’s the point of faking


for a kiss or a whisper you pull out a desperate prize

Hold tight onto Daddy’s bracelet


Make them pay for their chances
with money they don’t think that’s nice

Show me your secret and tell me your name


catch me with your fizzy smile
Try to remember again and again
What it is that I recognise
Don’t ask me now
When I need you I don’t know how
to believe in your advice
Just this once I take the dice

Show me your secret and tell me your name


catch me with your fizzy smile (I take the dice)
Try to remember again and again
What it is that I recognise (I take the dice)
Show me your secret and tell me your name
catch me with your fizzy smile (I take the dice)
Try to remember again and again
What it is that I recognise (I take the dice)

Of Crime And Passion


Why did you let me run,
When you knew I’d fall for the gaping hole –
Where your heart should be?
Liar – couldn’t cut me deeper with a knife if you tried –
Just take a look, before you run off and hide, at your victim, arise…

Clouds on you shoulder


Aren’t they grazed by the afterglow
How quiet they gather –
When the storm is about to blow –
Oh, oh, now don’t look away,
Caught in the crossfire
And it ain’t no wind of change
I’m talking of crime and passions rage.

Summer of madness the undertow, dragged me up an alley –


For the blossoming fire on a strangers smile.
Bride of wires – how disguise so easily cracked –

Saw your heart turn spade, this orchids turned to black..

Graze on your shoulder


Like the clouds in the afterglow
How quiet they gather –
When the storm is about to blow –
Oh, oh, now don’t look away
Caught in the crossfire
And it ain’t no wind of change
I’m talking of crime and passions rage

Way down by the shoulder


In the haze of the afterglow
Stranded together –
And the storm’s about to blow –
Oh, oh, now don’t look away
Caught in the crossfire
And it ain’t no wind of change
I’m talking of crime and passions..

Oh, oh now don’t look away


Caught in the crossfire
And it ain’t no wind of change
I’m talking of crime and passion..
Don’t look away
Caught in the crossfire
And if ain’t no wind of change
I’m talking of crime and passion…

Union Of The Snake

Telegram force and ready I knew this was a big mistake


There’s a fine line drawing
my senses together
and I think it’s about to break

If I listen close I can hear them singers


Voices in your body coming through on the radio

The Union of the Snake is on the climb


Moving up it’s gonna race, it’s gonna break
through the borderline

Nightshades on a warning
Give me strength at least give me a light
Give me anything even sympathy
There’s a chance you could be right

If I listen close I can hear them singers


Voices in your body coming through on the radio

The Union of the Snake is on the climb


Moving up it’s gonna race, it’s gonna break
through the borderline
The Union of the Snake is on the climb
Moving up it’s gonna race, it’s gonna break
through the borderline

If I listen close I can hear them singers


Voices in your body coming through on the radio

The Union of the Snake is on the climb


Moving up it’s gonna race, it’s gonna break
through the borderline
The Union of the Snake is on the climb
It’s gonna race, it’s gonna break
Gonna move up to the borderline
The Union of the Snake is on the climb
Moving up it’s gonna race, it’s gonna break
through the borderline
The Union of the Snake is on the climb
It’s gonna race, it’s gonna break
Gonna move up to the borderline

Shadows On Your Side

Shackeled and raised for a shining crowd


They want you to speak but the music is louder than all of their roar
With the heat off the planet’s core

But the shadows are on your side as soon as the lights go down
In the darkest place you can find you belong to the hands of the night

Promises made with a distant friend


Truth should be known it can only bend to a tune of it’s own
Hey you’ll never hear that voice again
Scandel in white on a tangled vine
With everybody saying that your having the time of your life
When your life is on the slide
But the shadows are on your side as soon as the lights go down
In the darkest place you can find you belong to the hands of the night
Shadows on your side as soon as the lights go down
In the darkest place you can find you belong to the hands of the night

Spinning a compass to choose your way


You can run you can dive you can stand and you can soar
Whichever way you can be sure

That the shadows are on your side as soon as the lights go down
In the darkest place you can find you belong to the hands of the night
Shadows are on your side as soon as the lights go down
In the darkest place you can find you belong to the hands of the night
Shadows on your side
The shadows are on your side
Shadows on your side
The shadows are on your side
Shadows on your side
The shadows are on your side
Shadows on your side

The Seventh Stranger

Those words are all remainders Echoes growing in the heart of twilight
They lay back laughing at naivety’s star
Awaken all those whispers
in the dusty shadow of a passing favour
I wouldn’t say that you were ruthless or right
I couldn’t see from so far
Was I chasing after rainbows
One thing for sure you never answered when I called
and I wiped away the water from my face
to look through the eyes of a stranger
for rumours in the wake of such a lonely crowd
Trading in my shelter for danger
I’m changing my name just as the sun goes down
In the eyes of a stranger

Can’t tell the real from reflection


when all these faces look the same to me
in every city such a desolate dream
Some days are strange to number
some say the seventh sounds a little bit stranger
A year of Sundays seems to have drifted right by
(I could have sworn) in one evening
And I’m not seized in desperation
no steel reproaches on the table from before
But I still can feel those splinters of ice
I look through the eyes of a stranger
For rumours in the wake of such a lonely crowd
Trading in my shelter for danger
I’m changing my name just as the sun goes down
In the eyes of a stranger

I must be chasing after rainbows


One thing for sure you never answer when I call
and I wipe away the water from my face
to look through the eyes of a stranger
for rumour in the wake of such a lonely crowd
Trading in my shelter for danger
I’m changing my name just as the sun goes down
Walking away like a stranger
from rumours in the wake of such a lonely crowd
Trading in my shelter for danger
I’m changing my name just as the sun goes down
In the eyes of a stranger
In the eyes of a stranger
In the eyes of a stranger
