your love is a hurricane can't see for the pouring rain you see me coming don't you in the night make you feel alright see me in time find it's not meant to be see me coming don't you the kind of man i am i know it doesn't feel right sometimes that kind of man when i want out you want in when you want out i want right back in again oh love is hurricane can't see for the pouring rain see me coming see me coming in the night it feels alright this time find i'm a mirror

when your eye lies feeling something is better than nothing and to me a theme rings here's a clue it's a dream passing by my eye all within my eye in the sun again of course you're here feels so good just gurgling what's the point? try less hard just do nothing and see what becomes all within your eye eye of the world where could you possibly be? why can't you see? why won't you see? get on my channel here i know exactly what you mean better not wait nothing is waiting for you don't get it? cast adrift floating sideways don't give a shit know it's true you do too stuck in here an animal all but within your eye lottery i want in no chance to win a dream passing by what's the point? try less hard afterall you've got nothing to offer all but within your eye always within your eye eye of the world that's the way it's meant to be feel so free and so empty get on my channel nothing's waiting for you better not wait nothing is waiting for you

you never know what could happen you don't know what it's all about some people say we might disappear into light or maybe one day an apple will fall against the sky my lover told me the timing wasn't right i was wrong again now i move on the separation between us a gap is closing in what will it take? i hope it won't be too late when the overlap becomes us you never know what could happen maybe we're closer to the beginning seeping through the grey sky survival toolkit will black and white try describing what water tastes like a telescope to find love the separation between us a gap is closing in what will it take? i hope it won't be too late when the overlap becomes us you never know what could happen maybe we're closer to the beginning a second stage the starting line it'll come to me in flashes of light i'll be open for convincing one more time now i've gone and done what i said i wouldn't do the good, the true, the beautiful

none of the former view can't think that way again now the pressure's on make the right move which way to go? which way to head? with ice in my guts and a battle in my head would it be easier to go or easier to stay? i could just runaway we'll be together tonight, won't we? we get to be what we wanna be, don't we? can't we? won't we? which way to go which way to head? ice in my guts and a battle in my head would it be easier to go or easier to stay? i could just runaway again derision shadow, when you gonna go?

No Champagne 03:50
no champagne flowing phone aint ringing in this life am i not in the running? now the chips are down there's no one round vying for position it's a big competition if my life were a movie it'd be sixteen hours long with no beginning or resolution you don't want my essence you want my successes i won't sit around waiting on your call so take all of me or take nothing at all if my life were a movie pain and suffering would mean something where did the time go? did i get what i deserve? all those plans to conquer the world walking on eggshells plagued with doubt of being caught out a sham, some kind of villain if my life were a movie pain and suffering would mean something hard wired, double vision bust out of this system always thinking up a grand conclusion but it's all so underwhelming you don't want my essence you want my successes i won't sit around waiting on your call so take all of me or take nothing at all no champagne flowing phone ain't ringing yeah! i'm not in the running

in my dream big party feeling high what's the vibe? make me stay then you say runaway makes me cry dream on time can you feel that alive? soma so, soma why? what goes down must come up buried deep, sounds made up no one knows who they are millionaires, billionaires and trillionaires foggy head better dead no fight left just need bed treat me kind dull the mind out of time lets do it all again what goes down must come up i got a hole in my glass can you fill me up am i crazy crying out like this? when i got the microphone i stand defenceless but i got enough armour for you bow and I roll always curious of an alien world my guts say everything is wrong i guess it doesn't matter where your dealer got it from cops and bikies dressing up in nighties running round the park holding hands in the night so when you gonna get it? gotta pick it up

Gettin hi 05:33
so you wanted to bide your time so you wanted to wait in line empty stares it's gonna be okay yes so what you want is to make amends so you want to think more clearly so you want to be your shadow so you want to give your heart a prick hard enough to pierce the shell tapping my head burning the fuse holding my knees tapping my head getting high here we go again to battle on a mission so what you wanted never happens so you want to make a mess so you want to shake up this town full of to and fro so you want to give your heart a prick hard enough to pierce the shell tapping my head burning the fuse holding my knees tapping my head getting high

Julian 03:44
Julian fixing up your hair in the ad break the bright lights the curtain drawn t.v. man fixes your collar as the camera rolls the front line with no disguise another man pulling out his hair somewhere he's clicking and fidgeting what's your secret? so much weight what you say the bank won't let you get paid what's your secret? we'll see what happens

... and I know that you want so much more than this can we be eternal? ourselves projected the future flowing like a river, we swim upstream like a salmon not knowing why but driven to the top of the mountain, to the source, to it's end, when it gets there. your optimism will get us where we need to go but I'm scared that you'll be let down when we don't get anywhere, no explosions, bright lights or anything of that kind it is all in the mind, and the way we relate to ourselves, each other, the rest of the world, in decline but it feels like ... we will be just fine, i will sing it all the time, all the time, I sing it, you hear me crying out but you won't listen, you run and hide, it won't register 'til it comes from the inside my dark visions of what's to come, everything comes undone, back to the origin, withstanding being overrun by animals, you see we never got gurnsey into heaven or a CIA bunker. Sounds like a quality brand, sounds fun ... will our children want to come? but we'll be just fine i want to **** (woo!) all the time, it's the way it's meant to be, me for you, you for me. i will put up with you, and you put up with me, just to see you happy and so you know, i won't abandon you, like the father you never had, you won't let me in though, a compromise, you can't let go of but you'll be fine deep, deep breathes, won't let you rest, it could be dangerous but i guess its high risk, high return, why won't anyone make a big stand? all the polls tell us people won't change, we're set in our ways, a big shift will come… or gradual over time or nothing will happen at all and we’ll be just fine, and i will cry, i will cry that we'll be just fine. we will be just fine, i will sing it all the time, all the time, I will sing it, you can hear me crying out but won't listen, you’ll run and hide, (which makes me smile) it won't register until it comes from the inside,
