Elegantly Wasted lyrics

Sky is blue I'm watching you
Grass is green what does it mean
Clouds are white don't loose that fight
Generations oversight
Is fucking up my poetry
Let it ride, ride, ride
Ride, ride, ride
Ride, ride
Caught in between
The sun and the moon
and the stars
Caught in between
The sun and the moon
and the stars

Caught in between
The sun and the moon
and the stars

Caught in between

Show me, show me
Show me how
Show me, show me
Show me how

Oh cherry
Oh cherry baby
Oh cherry
Oh cherry baby
Oh cherry
Oh cherry baby
Oh cherry
Oh cherry

I found you wanting
Like everyone
Always trying, happy lying
'Cos I'm no stranger to the ways of the world
I felt like crying
I felt like dying
We took a coffee, you took it so strong
Shaded from the neon
I could still see your eyes

Oh cherry

Making up my life
Killer in the night
Rattling my brains
Looking for that light

Shine, shine
Ah shine so bright, shine

When does that thing
I want to breathe her in
Throw away my world
If I could see that pearl

Shine, shine, shine, shine
Shine, shine, shine, shine

The skin is deep
But your oh so weak
Don't put your faith
In the words they speak

The skin is deep
But your oh so weak

Yeah, we're not the only ones
Who bleed for the love that's lost
Trust, like the air we breathe
Live, you've got to loose some sleep

Everything you do for me
Everything I do for you
Everything you do for me
No one else comes close to you

You laugh when the cool get's cold
Cry when the punchline's told
Fall into the arms of God
Pray that your soul's not sold

Change keeps us moving on

I am searching
I am not alone
I am searching
Please, give me some

Have we lost direction
Washed our hands of blood
I'm in need of sensation
Is there more to this love

Saw a mother screaming
She had lost control
Of what she once believed in
And she was not alone

If you could face the pain
And I could do the same
It would be clear tomorrow
But will it start, but will it start again

I just landed
Girl on fire
I felt the heat
From Sydney to London

Well she shut my mouth
With her repartee
I opened her's
With the rest of me

Girl on fire
Baby burn burn burn
Girl on fire
Baby burn burn burn

Out of the shadows
Comes a dirty song
The same old faces
Try to keep you in line

I saw you laughing
At the very first show
You lit up the city
From the twenty-sixth floor

Girl on fire

I'd love to take this lying down
But the world we know has lost it's crown
All night talking jazz cigarettes
Is never gonna change this killer town

I see her walking
In perfect time
She gives me reason
To carry on

Round the corner comes salvations
Made to order is what you found
Why oh why do we fool ourselves
Is it just the need to carry on

I see her walking
In perfect time

And where has innocence gone
Do we know too much
Are you comfortable in your skin
When does the strip begin

All the words we are fed
And the need to belong
Cause we can't get connected
Baby try

Where has our innocence gone
We whisper and touch
It's like we should start again
When does the strip begin

Some are taken some are given
Building bridges for the living
Some are taken some are given

Look at all that shines
Baby's down on the world and she knows it
If your spirit's running
Why don't me make it rain like we used to
We run
We hide
We wait and we want
The good life
Aw sure
You're right
This ain't, the good life

Ah, Elegantly wasted
Ah, Elegantly wasted

Look at all the crimes
Baby's down on the world cause she owns it
Making up her life

You shot your mouth off like a kid
Who's scared to have a heart
You're losing grip of what really matters
'Cause you don't know where to start
You wake up in the morning
With a starfuck for a friend
The things you do are so in tune
With what you said you hate
What's giving you the will to live
Is it looking for revenge
The only laugh that you've got left
Is from hiding from the pain

I'm just a man
My will is so strong
When I've got plans
I close my eyes to the pain
My mother ran
My father left town
But we still have what's necessary to go on

Flesh and blood
Flesh and blood

I'm part of you
Your part of me
There's nothing said
That cannot be undone

My brother's sane
His heart is so strong
He's killed some pain
To himself nearly did the same

I walk this mile
Like anyone
What could be found
In this sweet damaged smile

We are lost, we are found
We are thrown together

Would you take my hand
Would you take my hand

Let's go

I walk this mile
Like anyone
What could be found
In this sweet damaged smile

The cage is found
Fool's gold inside
Is there a key to the
Bars of the mind

We are lost, we are found
We are thrown together

Those pretty feet are stuck deep in the ground
All all that junk keeps coming
Must be the time to rearrange it all
Another place another time has called

She is rising above this world
She is heading for an open door
She is rising above this world
She is heading for an open door

Give it up, let her in
All she wants is to begin
Give it up, let her in
All she wants is to begin
