Suddenly
03:45

See me on the road,
The sound of my feet and of my back under the load
Heavily strung and I’m going it alone
Despite when my peers say you should be staying at home,
But I’m doing well though
‘cause they call me crazy
Put all of your reasons aside I will leave it as maybe
Come on I got nothing to hide but I’ve been hiding lately
I’m providing the flesh to the skeletons
Now I am running, this image is hazy and
Suddenly it hits, they’re gonna find you and they’ll tear you to bits, this
This motive for keeping control and a hold of your wits
I’m dreading the moment when the pavement it sticks
With the blood of your followers
Now I’m in control, I am an actor and I’m central to the role
I made a deal with the devil before I knew what was sold
The wrapping was cheap and it came from the mold that
They fashioned for hundreds of others and so
My anger is a sword, the striking side was blunt but facing me, sharp as the forge
We gotta maintain what we’re working towards
You do as your leader will tell you and fall on your sword
‘Cause I am top of the modern world but
Suddenly it hits, they’re gonna find you and they’ll tear you to bits, this
This motive for keeping control and a hold of your wits
I’m dreading the moment when the pavement it sticks
With the blood of your followers
Let’s look back and laugh, (but not too much)
I will be your last (inhuman touch)
I’m larger than life itself (or so I’m told)
Let’s preserve the evidence (we’re getting old)

With My Heart In My Hand
04:06
|

With my heart in my hand, I’ll give you my word
That every small thing will be seen and be heard
With my heard in my hand, my world will be yours
To check, to examine, to play and to pause
With my heart in my hand I’ll go on a trip
Not in a plane but with my fingertips
When the battery dies and the thrill goes away,
I’m bound to leave my bedroom someday
And I believe it’s a shame
I will not go to bed until you know my name
And I know where I stand
All the same I travel this land with my heart in my hand
And with my heart in my hand I’ll light up the roads
I’ll light up the signs and I’ll see where they go
And I’m sure it sounds crazy but everyone knows
I only work well when my soul is on show
And with my heart in my hand I’ll shout from afar
Via some satellite out in the stars
I don’t even know where you are
I’m surprised that I made it this far
And I believe it’s a shame
I will not go to bed until you know my name
And I know where I stand
All the same I travel this land with my heart in my hand
And with my heart in my hand I’ll think for myself
That’s what they told me like everyone else
It’s not me but my family as well
And I’m finding it hard to break out this spell
And I believe it’s a shame
I went to bed and you don’t know my name
And I know where I stand
I gave you my heart and my soul with my heart in my hand

Digging Holes
05:04

Do you wanna feel the sun light up your face?
Do you wanna see everyone you know all united in their place?
I’m sorry that it had to wait
But do you wanna know the truth? I left it too late
If you still want it, well come and get it
Oh I still want it, oh and I regret it
When we’re digging holes everything is waking up
And the world will know our resolve is breaking up
I’m sorry that I gave you up
But when we’re digging holes, everyone is shaken up
Do you want to see the world, or are you content with where you are?
Are you taken by the thrills or frightened by the scars?
No we don’t need the planes or need those cars
But now I got to get out of these jail bars
If you still want it, well come and get it
Oh I still want it, oh and I regret it
When we’re digging holes everything is waking up
And the world will know our resolve is breaking up
I’m sorry that I gave you up
But when we’re digging holes, everyone is shaken up
Do you want to see the world? Then not with me
Because I’m stuck inside a room for a century
I’m sorry this is what you see
But if you want to see the world go without me
If you still want it, well come and get it
Oh I still want it, oh and I regret it

When the world gets you down, you've got to keep on running
And never slow down, your effort's great, but ask for something
When my world trips your fall, you take them all down to hell with you
There is nothing at all, I won't to if it's to be with you
Liquid gold repaired your features, in this way I can not word
You're more beautiful for breaking, it's the strangest phrase I've heard
Catch this train and beat town, and take your demons along
You should know this by now, that you should be feeling great, feeling strong
Don't you ever look back, if not for your sake for your children
I'll tell you one thing you lack, that's the ability to be with them
Liquid gold repaired your features, in this way I cannot word
You're more beautiful for breaking, it's the strangest phrase I've heard
And you don't know your niceness, and the person you can be
You don't know you're priceless, and what you mean to me
You're in pieces I'm sure, you fall to the ground, pick up your fractions
But my metal is pure, silver has this great reaction
When liquid gold repairs your features, in this way I cannot word
You're more beautiful for breaking, it's the strangest phrase I've heard

I’ll breathe underwater and fly though the air
Just to let you know I’m standing there
I’m a man who can fly, with a reason to be
Well at least that’s what my creator told me
And it’s life’s due course, I’m here to save,
And I’m riding the walls and I;m riding the waves
To give you help, or a thing of the sort
And I’ll change your mind and I won’t get caught
Not because I will, not because I can
I’ve got no free will, I’m the flying man
My face is a mask, of white and blue
There’s nothing on my mind but how to get to you
And behind this mask of blue and white
There lies a picture of your face and lies the knowledge of flight
How it came to me, I don’t know
But it came to be, and it goes to show
I’ll travel the world, I’ll scour the Earth
Just to let you know what you’re really worth
Not because I will, not because I can
I’ve got no free will, I’m the flying man
So I’ll build me a soldier to work for me
Because I’m much too scared to say what I mean
The girl of my dreams has left these shores
And this a fact I just can’t face no more
So I want you to scale every inch of the sky
Until you see the one with the sky blue eyes
You’re a man who can fly with a reason to be
I told you so and now you must go and send a message for me

Pain
04:40
|

|
Let’s create, an image, a kind of place, we can believe we’re safe
And we can try to stop the pain
No success, you’ll always find the centre, all you find is one more mile
And an effort in vain
And I will find the end of earth
I will run past every train
I will try to prove my worth
I will run and heal your pain
Burn the house, I’ve always hated memories. Especially when they’re haunting me
And the enemy is all I see
Read between the lines, a passage home for me and mine, we can just stay inside
If you say that you don’t mind
And I will find the end of earth
I will run past every train
I will try to prove my worth
And rest assured, we’ll bring them pain
And I’m a lost cause, a missed switch
And I don’t have enough to feel it

For Phil

What a lonely man, I projected all my faith in
My face in, I’m chasing the old American dream
What a lonely land, hit the broken road running
I’m stumbling with this desperate need for a team
And you, my solitary friend, I gave up all my time to
I tried to remind you the dangers of being alone
This is not the end, it’s hidden in the sewer
The squalor that used to be my home
And the Rockerfeller Centre, went so high that it went to
The top of the air, oh and I swear I could see it from here
But nowadays the skyline, looks so different from mine
That I will despair, oh when my home, it fills me with fear
She’s a perfect match, some prize catch
And the last thing I’d ask from you is to take her away
This meeting of eyes, this cause of divine inspiration
And I know if we spoke we’d have hours on hours to say
But wait, I’ve got to get in shape, I’ve got to lose my belly
But telly, it tells me I’m never going to win
These commercial dreams are like the mirror I had
And it hasn’t been bad so I think I’ll let them in
And the flat of the iron, wasn’t hot enough for trying
To strike an impression on this Western place
But just like my brother, no different no other
He took the luck of it all to his final resting place
Out in space…
And when we leave, I’ll go to the end of the galaxy
Believe me, this isn’t all it has to be
And world war 3 is just a distant memory
Believe me, this destiny was made for me
What a lonely man, I projected all my faith in
My face in, I’m chasing the old American dream

18 Hours In Madrid
05:25

You got too much space, fill it all up
I’m getting used to your face and waking back up
And existence is great but not when you’re stuck
And I love this place, and I’m giving it up
Next time around I’ll make it okay
That’s what I told you on previous days
And I know it’s sad, and I know it’s true
But I’ll go back around, and I’m the only one who’s going to remember you
When my ship takes off, it never will land
We got a man on the moon, with our world in his hands
But the moon doesn’t matter, ‘cause it did not go as planned
And now I’m forced to fight things I can’t understand
Next time around I’ll make it okay
That’s what I told you on previous days
And I know it’s sad, and I know it’s true
But I’ll go back around, and I’m the only one who’s going to remember you
And there’s a ghost on the water who’s calling my name and
I know I oughtta stop playing her games but
These are the times and the times they have changed
I don’t know your feeling when you’re looking away
And I’m trying to find a break in this desperate routine
And I never tried to make this killing machine
And I’m proud of my mistakes but the ones with you and me
Are the ones I will erase, so just you wait and see
