Nuclear Furniture lyrics

Something must be done about the lone man
Gun concealed to carry out his heart of stone plan
He is eaten up with hate
Got your attention far too late
Could you have stopped him if you'd known beforehand

He seemed like such a nice guy
To his neighbors
Kept to himself and never bothered them with favors
Nobody ever knew him
There was nobody to see through him

Unused lyrics from lyric sheets:
And suddenly all and everything we know
Had burst into flames
Erupted in fire

In the heat of the river
In the heat of the morning sun
I saw Rose
Out on the river
Staring down the city guns
She said
I am the one
I am the champion
Protector
Leader
Defender
Optimum champion
She said

I am the one
I am the only one
In the aftermath of atomic fire

Unused lyrics at beginning of lyric sheet:
Warm.....round the hunting fire
Wrapped in the robes of the dead warrior
Protected from ferocious winds
Under the shield of the dead gladiator
Standing in the darkness of this stagecraft
All is black I cannot see your faces I need
Light I want to see your eyes
Let my voice wash over your faces
Connection

Connection
Whoaa ohhh

You see it every day in every way
We all hear the same routines
They all say that it's okay
Just let us take care of everything
So we lay it on the line

Layin' it on the line (Layin' it on the line)
Layin' it all, right on the line
Just layin' it on the line (Layin' it on the line)
Layin' it all, we're livin on the front line

I can see it in the faces

You been holding back
And I know you're afraid to feel
Some one hurt you long ago
And the wounds just did not heal

You never shed a tear
You had to keep control
So the wounds kept spreading
Until they got down in your soul

Don't you think it's time
Time to forgive
Leave the past behind
Live and let live

Been holding onto anger
Now it's got a hold on you

He said
You will look right into my eyes
Repeat every word that I say
You want some magic in your life
My love is the only way

Magician
Magician
Ohh Magician
Magician

His body moves behind my eyes
Obsession grows
It's a private show
Magic man with a sleight of hand
Disappearing right into my soul

Magician
Magician
Ohh Magician
Magician

Whoaa Whoaa ohh

He's here again

You don't know how much I love you
But I love you like the sun
I'd like to put my arms around you
And we could run run run runaway
Let's run run run runaway
Let's run run run runaway
If you knew how much I miss you
Oh I miss you more each day
I'd really like to come and see you
And we could run run run runaway
Run run run runaway
Let's run run run runaway

Unused lyrics from lyric sheet:
...And there in the dawn of the nuclear twilight
In the heart of the glowing city
She stood
Pen in hand

Lalalalalalala
Lalalalalala
Lalalalalalala
Lalalalalala
Go and find Rose and ask her 'bout order
Go and find Rose and ask her 'bout Yale
There is no more Yale (yaaaaaa!)
There is no more order (yaaaaaay!)

I was out on the river

I can feel the heat rising up inside of me
I can still remember how one touch baby feel
And thinking of that night
The light of the moon
The feeling never fades
It ended too soon

Standing in a broken dream
Calling on your fantasies
Looking for the magic land
In here eyes

Shining in the moonlight
Looking for love
Shining in the moonlight
Looking for you
Shining in the moonlight

They walk with their arms away from their sides
Cause it's all in the timing
Who wins the fight
All around them the signs are clear
It's gone too far
Now the showdown is here
Showdown is here

Hungry dogs follow
And the vultures lead
Self-preservation
The original greed
But there's too much fire
For the perfect match
Now it's just a matter of the first attack

Which one is right

It's so easy
When love is new
Magic feeling
In everything you do
But we get careless
And make each other cry
Oh, what a waste
Just to let love die
Let's give it one more try

You say you're sorry
I'm sorry too
Sorry me
Sorry me, sorry you

The fire is low
But the ashes burn
Getting near the point
Of no return
Out on the edge
Such a dangerous place to be
When darkness falls
