What to do
What to say
What to wear on a sunny day
Who to phone
Who to fight
Who to dance with on a Sunday night

Reaching the very edge, you know
Reaching the very edge
Going to the other side this time
Reaching the very edge

CHORUS
You're still breathing but you don't know why
Life's a bit and sometimes you die
You're still breathing but you just can't tell

Your coat and hat are gone
I've really can't look at your little empty shelf
A ragged teddy bear
It feels like we never had a chance
Don't look me in the eye

We lay in each others arms
But the room is just an empty space
I guess we've lived it out
Something in the air
We smiled to fast then can't think of a thing to say

Lived with the best times
Left with the worst
I've danced with you too long

Oh my, naked eyes
I should have kept you
I should have tried
I should of been more wiser kind of guy
I miss you

Give me wings
Give me space
Give me money for a change of face
There's noisy rooms and passion pants
I loved you

Where's the morning in my life?
Where's the sense in staying right?
Who said time is on my side?
I got ears and eyes and nothing in my life
But I survive your naked eyes

Was she never there
Was she ever
Was it air she breathed
At the wrong time
Oh ho
Oh ho
Oh ho
Oh ho

All the flowers so
From the gallery
With the hymns of night
Singing come to me
At the wrong time
On the wrong day
All the lights are fading now
If I'm dreaming all my life

Just one living chance
When the mother sighs
When the father steps aside
At the wrong time
Oh ho
Oh ho

Was she never here

I forgot what my father said
I forgot what he said
I forgot what my mother said
As we layed on your bed
A city full of flowers
A city full of rain
I got seven days to live my life or seven ways to die

I forgot what my brother said
I forgot what he said
I don't regret anything at all
I remember how he wept
On a bridge of violent people
I was small enough to cry

No one can blame you for walking away

But too much protection
no love rejection.
Life can be easy
it's not always well

Don't tell me truth hurts
little girl

'cause it hurts like hell.

But down in the underground you'll find someone true

Down in the underground
a land serene and crystal.
It's only forever
not long at all

Lost and lonely - that's underground
underground!

Daddy
daddy

What to wear
What to say
What to do on a sunny day
Who to phone
Who to fight
Who to dance with on a sunday night?
Reaching the very edge you know
Reaching the very edge
I'm going to the other side of this town
Reaching the very edge

You're still breathing but you don't know why
Life's a bit and sometimes you die
You're still breathing but you just can't tell
Don't hold your breath

New angels of promise (do do do do)
We despair
We are the dead dreams (oh ho ho ho)
We take the blame
Take us to the edge of time
Take us to the edge of time
We are the fabulous lovers
I'm a blind man and she's my eyes

Suspicious minds
You didn't feel us coming
In this lonely crowd, its always time
Suspicious minds
You didn't feel us coming
In this lonely crowd, it's always time

Instrumental

Black eyed ravens
They spiral down
They tilt his head back
To the flame filled sunset
Raise their guns high
As the darken falls
These are the days boys

Shallow man
Shallow man (shallow man) and they
Eats in the doorways with his head inclined
And he's always in decline
No-one hears anymore
So he shrinks as they ride
Under vermillion skies

So it goes (so it goes)
Just a searcher (so it goes)
