Savage Garden lyrics

She's taking her time making up the reasons
To justify all the hurt inside
Guess she knows from the smiles and the look in their eyes
Everyone's got a theory about the bitter one
They're saying, Mama never loved her much
And, Daddy never keeps in touch
That's why she shies away from human affection
But somewhere in a private place
She packs her bags for outer space

I'll be your dream
I'll be your wish I'll be your fantasy
I'll be your hope I'll be your love
Be everything that you need
I'll love you more with every breath
Truly, madly, deeply do
I will be strong I will be faithful
'cause I'm counting on
A new beginning
A reason for living
A deeper meaning, yeah

[chorus:]
I want to stand with you on
a mountain

Well I want to take you as I find you
Imagine our clothes are on the floor
Feel my caress so soft and gentle
So delicate you cry for more
But you know baby
You know baby does it right
And you know baby does it right

[chorus:]

Universe inside of your heart
You gotta let me know
so you can be free baby
You wanted it so much,
and now that it's over
You don't know what you want

If there's a way that you could
be everything you want to be,
Would you complain that it came too easy
Just like the games with you and me
A resolution hard to see,
But that's O.K. 'cause I don't
see things that are plain to see
I've got a dream to take you over
Exploding like a supernova
I'm gonna crash into your world
And that's no lie

You want to give ecstacy delivered

We stumble in a tangled web,
decaying friendships almost dead
And hide behind a mask of lies
We twist and turn and we avoid,
all hope of salvage now devoid
I see the truth inside your eyes
So take all this noise into your brain
and send it back again
I'll bear the cost, shed my skin, call
you up and then...
I'll say the words out loud

[chorus:]
You could resurrect a thousand

In Santa Monica, in the winter time,
The lazy streets so undemanding
I walk into the crowd
In Santa Monica, you get your
coffee from
The coolest places on the
promenade
Where people dress just so
Beauty so unavoidable, everywhere
you turn
It's there I sit and wonder what am I
doing here
But on the telephone line I
am anyone
I am anything I want to be
I could be a super model or

Anytime I need to see your face,
I just close my eyes
And I am taken to a place where
your crystal mind and
Magenta feelings take up shelter
in the base of my spine
Sweet like a chic-a-cherry cola
I don't need to try and explain;
I just hold on tight
And if it happens again, I might move
so slightly
To the arms and the lips and the face
of the human cannonball

And we stare each other down
like vicitms in the grind
Probing all the weakness
and hurt still left behind and we cry
The tears of pearls
We do it. Oh we do it.
Is love really the tragedy the way you
might describe
Or would a thousand lovers
still leave you cold inside
Make you cry...
These tears of pearls

[chorus: ]
All these mixed emotions we
keep locked away like stolen pearls

The moonlight...
Shines down interstellar beams
And the groove tonight
Is something more than you've ever seen
The stars and planets taking shape
A stolen kiss has come too late
In the moonlight
Carry on, keep romancing,
Carry on, carry on dancing
In the moonlight
Carry on, keep romancing,
Carry on, carry on dancing

You're never safe 'till you see the dawn

I never thought I'd change my
opinion again
But you moved me in a way that I've
never known
You moved me in a way that I've
never known
But straight away you just moved
into position again
You abused me in a way that I've
never known
You abused me in a way that I've
never known

[chorus:]
So break me shake me hate me
take me over
When the madness stops then you
will be alone

Well don't you know I need a
little indulgence
Listen to the hunter becoming
hunted
Every day there's a million advances
Don't be too forceful you'll ruin
your chances
Well don't you know that time is a
broken glass
That splinters against the wall
But the picture is coming back
now baby,
And I want to take it all

[chorus:]

Don't go making all these promises
