Ain't it funny how we pretend we're still a child

Softly stolen under our blanket skies

And rescue me from me, and all that I believe

I won't deny the pain

I won't deny the change

And should I fall from grace here with you

Will you leave me too?



Carve out your heart for keeps in an old oak tree

And hold me for goodbyes-and whispered lullabyes

And tell me I am still

The man I'm supposed to be

I won't deny the pain

I won't deny the change

And should I fall from grace here with you

Will you leave me too?



Too late to turn to turn back now, I'm running out of sound

And I'm changing, changing

And if we died right now, this fool you loved somehow

Is here with you

I won't deny the pain

I won't deny the change

And should I fall from grace here with you

Would you leave me too?

You're sending me tulips mistaken for lilies

You give me your lip after punching me silly

You turned my head till it rolled down the brain drain

If I had any sense now I wouldn't want it back again



[Chorus:]

New Amsterdam it's become much too much

Till I have the possession of everything she touches

Till I step on the brakes to get out of her clutches

Till I speak double dutch to a real double duchess



Down on the mainspring, listen to the tick tock

Clock all the faces that move in on your block

Twice shy and dog tired because you've been bitten

Everything you say now sounds like it was ghost-written



[Chorus]



Back in London they'll take you to heart after a little while

Though I look right at home I still feel like an exile



Somehow I found myself down at the dockside

Thinking of the old days of Liverpool and Rotherhide

The transparent people who live on the other side

Living a life that is almost like suicide



[Chorus]

She thinks she missed the train to mars.

She's out back counting stars.

She thinks she missed the train to mars.

She's out back counting stars.



She's not at work, she's not at school.

She's not in bed, i think i finally broke her.

I bring her home everything i want,

nothing that she needs.

i thought she'd be there holding daises,

she always waits for me.



She thinks she missed the train to mars.

She's out back counting stars.



I found her out back, sitting naked..

looking up and looking dead.

a crumpled yellow piece of paper.

seven nines and tens.



I thought she'd be there holding daisies,

she always waits for me

She thinks she missed the train to mars,

she's out back counting stars



I thought you'd be there holding daisies,

you always wait for me.

She thinks she missed the train to mars.

She's out back counting stars.

A few questions that I need to know

how you could ever hurt me so

I need to know what I've done wrong

and how long it's been going on

Was it that I never paid enough attention?

Or did I not give enough affection?

Not only will your answers keep me sane

but I'll know never to make the same mistake again

You can tell me to my face or even on the phone

You can write it in a letter, either way, I have to know

Did I never treat you right?

Did I always start the fight?

Either way, I'm going out of my mind

all the answers to my questions

I have to find



My head's spinning

Boy, I'm in a daze

I feel isolated

Don't wanna communicate



I'll take a shower, I will scour

I will rub

To find peace of mind

The happy mind I once owned, yeah



Flexing vocabulary runs right through me

The alphabet runs right from A to Zed

Conversations, hesitations in my mind

You got my conscience asking questions that I can't find



I'm not crazy

I'm sure I ain't done nothing wrong, no

I'm just waiting

'Cause I heard that this feeling

won't last that long



Never ever have I ever felt so low

When you gonna take me out of this black hole?

Never ever have I ever felt so sad

The way I'm feeling yeah, you got me feeling really bad



Never ever have I had to find

I've had to dig away to find my own peace of mind

I've Never ever had my conscience to fight

The way I'm feeling, yeah, I just don't feel right



I'll keep searching

Deep within my soul

For all the answers

Don't wanna hurt no more



I need peace, got to feel at ease

Need to be.

Free from pain - going insane

My heart aches, yeah



Sometimes vocabulary runs through my head

The alphabet runs right from A to Zed

Conversations, hesitations in my mind

You got my conscience asking questions that I can't find



I'm not crazy,

I'm sure I ain't done nothing wrong

I'm just waiting

'Cause I heard that this feeling won't last that long



Never ever have I ever felt so low

When ya gonna take me out of this black hole?

Never ever have I ever felt so sad

The way I'm feeling yeah, you got me feeling really bad



Never ever have I had to find

I've had to dig away to find my own peace of mind

I've Never ever had my conscience to fight

The way I'm feeling, yeah, I just don't feel right x4



You can tell me to my face,

You can tell me on the phone,

Uh, You can write it in a letter, babe

'Cause I really need to know



You can write it in a letter, babe

You can write it in a letter, babe

Wrap me in always, and drag me in with maybes

Your innocence is treasure, your innocence is death

Your innocence is all I have

Breathing underwater, and living under glass

And if you spin your love around

The secrets of your dreams

You may find your love is gone

And is not quite what it seemed

To appear to disappear

Beneath all your darkest fears

I believe in never, I believe in all the way

But belief is not to notice, belief is just some faith

And faith can't help you to escape

And with this ring I wed thee true

And with this ring I wed thee now

And with this ring I play so dead

But no one's asking for the truth, so let me tell you

If you spin your love around

The secrets of your dreams

You may find your love is gone

And is not quite what it seemed

To appear to disappear

Beneath all your darkest fears

To the revelations of fresh faced youth

No one will come to save you

So speak your peace in the murmurs drawn

But youth is wasted on the young

Your strength is my weakness, your weakness my hate

My love for you just can't explain

Why we're forever frozen, forever beautiful,

Forever lost inside ourselves

The night has come to hold us young
