UPSIDE DOWN & INSIDE OUT
Upside down and inside out and you can feel it.
Upside down and inside out and you can feel it.
Don’t know where your eyes are but they’re not doing what you said.
Don’t know where your mind is, baby, but you’re better off without it.
Inside down and upside out and you can feel it.
Don’t stop, can’t stop, it’s like an airplane going down
I wish I had said the things you thought that I had said.
Gravity’s just a habit that you’re pretty sure you can break.
So when you met the new you,
Were you scared, were you cold, were you kind?
Yeah when you met the new you, did someone die inside?
Don’t stop, can’t stop, it’s like a freight train.
Don’t stop, can’t stop, it’s like an airplane going down.
Don’t know where your eyes are but they’re not doing what you said.
Don’t know where your mind is, baby, but you’re better off without it.
Looks like it’s time to decide,
Are you here, are you now, is this it?
All of those selves that you tried,
Wasn’t one of them good enough?
Because you’re upside down and inside out and you can feel it.
Inside down and upside out and you can feel it, feel it.
Don’t stop, can’t stop, it’s like a freight train.
Don’t stop, can’t stop, until you feel it going down.
I wish I had said the things you thought that I had said.
Gravity’s just a habit that you’re pretty sure you can break.
Upside down and inside out and you can feel it.
Don’t stop, can’t stop, until you feel it going down.
Upside down and inside out and you can feel it.
Don’t stop, can’t stop, until you feel it going down.
THE WRITING’S ON THE WALL
Listen, I know it’s been hard, you know it’s no different for me.
We’re less than a zero-sum game now, and baby we both know that’s not how it’s
supposed to be.
The writing’s on the wall, it seems like forever since we had a good day.
The writing’s on the wall, but I just want to get you high tonight.
I just wanna see some pleasure in your eyes, some pleasure in your eyes.
And I go too hot, and you go too cold and we both fall apart.
Then you bring your mind to rest against mine, but the mind has no say in affairs of the
heart.
The writing’s on the wall, it seems like forever since we had a good day.
The writing’s on the wall, but I just want to get you high tonight.
I just wanna see some pleasure in your eyes, some pleasure in your eyes.
Then you bring your mind to rest against mine, but the mind has no say in affairs of the
heart.
The writing’s on the wall, it seems like forever since we had a good day.
The writing’s on the wall, but I just want to get you high tonight.
I just wanna see some pleasure in your eyes, some pleasure in your eyes.
I just wanna get you high,
Even if it’s the last thing that we do together.
ANOTHER SET OF ISSUES
It all seemed so perfect, it all seemed like everything was right.
It all seemed so perfect, it all seemed so fine, until it was not.
So keep your head down, keep your hands where I can see them.
So keep your head down, keep your hands where I can see them, now.
This will all be over soon, this will all be over soon.
Now I know you’ve got this whole other set of issues here,
But I can’t let you leave that way, but I can’t let you leave that way, but I can’t let you
leave.
So keep your head down, keep your hands where I can see them.
So keep your head down, keep your hands where I can see them, now.
This will all be over soon, this will all be over soon.
It all seemed so perfect, it all seemed like everything was right.
But I won’t let you leave that way, but I won’t let you leave that way, but I won’t let you
leave.
So keep your head down, keep your hands where I can see them.
So keep your head down, keep your hands where I can see them, now.
This will all be over soon, this will all be over soon.
TURN UP THE RADIO
Turn up the radio and turn off the lights.
I want it loud as hell, I want the walls to melt, ‘cause I got to lose myself tonight.
So turn off the lights.
‘Cause now the world’s turned down a stop,
Fading all the brights on the maybes and the mights,
And I should have known the hammer would drop,
‘Cause something must be wrong if everything is right.
And nothing’s gonna stop us now,
Yeah nothing’s gonna stop us now.
Turn up the radio and turn off the lights.
I want it loud as hell, I want the walls to melt, ‘cause I got to lose myself tonight.
Yeah I got to let it all go tonight, yeah I got to let it all go tonight,
So turn up the radio and turn off the lights.
You know, it’s always just inches shy
Of everything is just right, everything is blue sky,
But how huge that divide,
And the hungrier the ghost, the more it opens wide.
And nothing’s gonna stop us now,
Yeah nothing’s gonna stop us now.
Turn up the radio and turn off the lights.
I want it loud as hell, I want the walls to melt, ‘cause I got to lose myself tonight.
Yeah I got to let it all go tonight, yeah I got to let it all go tonight,
So turn up the radio and turn off the lights.
So just tell me what’s going on.
So turn up the radio and turn off the lights.
I want it loud as hell, I want the walls to melt, ‘cause I got to lose myself tonight.
Yeah I got to let all go tonight, yeah I got to lose myself tonight
Yeah I got to lose myself tonight
So turn off the lights
‘Cause I got to let all go tonight, yeah I got to lose myself tonight,
So turn off the lights.
OBSESSION
A look so quick, a movement so slight
You could almost imagine it didn’t just happen.
But everything will change, in just one look, one little glance.
It’s not passing fascination now, it’s obsession.
And it’s physical.
It’s like standing at the edge:
Your blood starts to pump, ‘cause you’re worried you might jump.
And your head throbbing like a heart,
And your heart throbbing like a drum,
And the drums throbbing like the point is just go ahead and jump.
It’s obsession.
There’s only one way out.
A look so quick, a movement so slight.
Oh it’s not passing fascination now, it’s obsession.
It’s obsession.
I’M NOT THROUGH
I know you gotta go and there’s some shit you gotta do, and, oh, all this talk is bringing
you down.
Oh yeah, it’s getting late, and all these things we’ve been saying, it’s the same old circle
going round.
But baby don’t get up yet. Don’t get up yet. I’m not through.
It’s always been true: brevity’s not my strong suit, and maybe I’ve gone on a little long.
But if you just give up now, get on up and walk on out, might as well just call the whole
thing done.
So baby don’t get up yet. Don’t get up yet. I’m not through.
Baby don’t get up yet. Don’t get up yet. I’m not through.
I know you gotta go, I know you gotta run, but babe I’m not done.
I’m not through.
BRIGHT AS YOUR EYES
Until the moonlight, until the stars rise in rebellion and take new charge,
Until the planets, carefully tied, throw off their shackles and fill the sky,
They will never shine bright as your eyes, they will never shine like your eyes.
Even the sunlight bleaching the sky whiter than heaven’s own whitest white,
Even the lightning tearing the night, painting the firmament white with fire.
They will never shine bright as your eyes, they will never shine like your eyes.
I WON’T LET YOU DOWN
I won’t let you down, no I won’t let you down. I won’t let you down, my love.
Nikki, she’s got no flag to fly, but she don’t seem to mind that much, no she don’t seem
to mind.
And you, you’ve got your armor on. Nights out in babylon, yeah, nights out in babylon.
But maybe all you need is someone to trust, maybe all you need is someone.
And I won’t let you down, no I won’t let you down. I won’t let you down, my love.
I won’t let you down.
Now Emily’s got no tricks to try, but she don’t seem that much to mind, no she don’t
seem to mind that much to me.
And you’ve got what the whole world wants, so strap that armor tighter on, double on
down like it’s gonna make you free.
But maybe all you need is someone to trust, maybe all you need is someone.
And I won’t let you down, no I won’t let you down. I won’t let you down, my love.
I won’t let you down.
THE ONE MOMENT
You’re right.
There’s nothing more lovely, there’s nothing more profound
Than the certainty that all of this will end.
So open your arms to me
And this will be the one moment that matters.
And this will be the one thing we remember,
And this will be the reason to have been here.
And this will be the one moment that matters at all.
So while the mud reclaims our footprints,
And while our bones keep looking back
At the overgrowth that’s swallowing the path,
There for the grace of God go we, there for the grace of God go we.
There for the grace of time and chance and entropy’s cruel hands,
So open your arms to me
And this will be the one moment that matters.
And this will be the one thing we remember,
And this will be the reason to have been here.
And this will be the one moment that matters at all.
So won’t stay here with me and build till we’ve blistered our hands?
So won’t you stay here with me, and build us some temples,
Build us some castles, build us some monuments,
And burn them all right down.
And this will be the one moment that matters.
And this will be the one thing we remember,
And this will be the reason to have been here.
And this will be the one moment that matters at all
IF I HAD A MOUNTAIN
If I had a mountain, I’d push every stone to a cliff.
If I had a river, the banks would overflow.
But a book abandoned by the bed might kill me.
The stain from where your wine glass was could bring me to my knees
A book abandoned by the bed might kill me
If I don’t have you.
If I had an ocean, the waves would reach past the shore.
If I had a desert, the sand would be whiter than snow.
But a book abandoned by the bed might kill me.
The stain from where your wine glass was could bring me to my knees
A book abandoned by the bed might kill me
If I don’t have you.
‘Cause everything that I am is just pieces of you.
Every thought that I have, just pieces of you, just pieces of you.
Just pieces of you.
But a book abandoned by the bed might kill me.
The stain from where your wine glass was could bring me to my knees
A book abandoned by the bed might kill me
If I don’t have you.
THE GREAT FIRE
So much there was to lose.
So much got lost
In the great fire. In the great fire.
So much that no one thought,
That no one thought to think of at all,
Until the fire
The fire broke out.
But when the flames die down, and everything is gone,
Will there be fire under the ashes still?
So this is really what you want
And not some wild experiment
That you’re just trying?
Do you remember saying my name?
There was only one way you could say it
Before the fire
The fire broke out.
But when the flames die down, and everything is gone,
Will there be fire under the ashes still?
LULLABY
Go to sleep, my love, just go to sleep.
And dream that I’m there in your arms tonight.
And dream that I’m there and we’ll be all right, we’ll be all right.
Close your eyes, my love, just close your eyes.
And dream that I’m there by your side tonight.
Dream that I’m there and we’ll be all right, we’ll be all right.
And when morning comes, and I’m still a thousand miles from your side, don’t give up.
Don’t let the darkness of day in, I’ll see you in your dreams again tomorrow night.
Go to sleep, my love, just go to sleep.
