Flying Tart Record |
if the world's supposed to stop for me
then how come you won't talk to me
i know you keep it all inside
inside tongue tied
it would have come out as lies
you never had the time for me anyway
can't you see can't you tell
heaven knows it my first time to hell
take the time and show me around
i'll take all the time you've got for me
i want to hate you
but its too late to
i guess i love you all
but its enough to drive me mad
just kiss me where i say it hurts
and say those words that always work
but please don't tell me how you really feel
tell me sell me
the part of you that held me
and pretended not to notice
that we would only go this far
can't you see can't you tell
heaven knows its my first time to hell
take the time and show me around
i'll take all the time you've got for me
(chorus)
i want you all too much again
your sleepy voice and painted skin
you've got me all dressed up
in a stare
dressed up messed up
and who said "hold your head up"
i'm face down in a memory of you
with my nerves all tangled up
my pride's all mangled up
can you teach me how to smile like that
my nerves all tangled up
my pride's all mangled up
can you teach me
oh can you teach me now
wake up, christine
i think there's something
wrong with me
and you don't know
i just can't get to sleep
i'm so scared of what you
might be dreaming
wake up, christine
there's something that's
been bothering me
and you don't know
i'm scared of what i'll find
in the back of your mind
if i'm lucky enough to ever
get inside
wake up, christine
i think there's something
wrong with me
and you don't know
my fears get in the way
of everything i want to say
i'm speechless and hopeless
wake up, christine
there's something that's
been bothering me
and you don't know
i'm scared of what i'll find
in the back of your mind
if i'm lucky enough to ever
get inside
christine, i know
but its hard for me
to let it show
and i keep thinking
how they went
all the days we never spent
watch me hurt myself again
this movie never ends
it just keeps playing on and on
everyone's a star
when they close their eyes
well how come i keep mine
open all the time
i don't want to know
and i don't want to be
a love story
my soul's on fire
so you light a cigarette
i thought you'd be through with me
but it isn't over yet
UPSET, MOVIE SET, READY SET GO
don't try, don't wonder why
i can't look you in the eye
maybe i'm looking for myself
you said it happened only once
one time, well maybe sometimes
but now it happens all the time
and now my soul's on fire|
so you light a cigarette
i thought you'd be through with me
but it isn't over yet
UPSET, MOVIE SET, READY SET GO
here's my daredevil stunt scene
the one where i'm thinking
of someone other than myself
you said it happened only once
one time, well maybe sometimes
but now it happens all the time
and now my soul's on fire
so you light a cigarette
i thought you'd be through with me
but it isn't over yet
UPSET, MOVIE SET, READY SET GO
(it happens all the time)
she's the fading figure
just beyond the canvas
she holds her head up high in shame
and stretches her skin
so the light can get in
but he'll paint her just the same again
her eyes are raindrops
he's frozen still
she smiles
and he says he thinks he will
he says" i think i'll paint you bright
to liven up the saddest night"
but she dreams a voice like trumpets
begs and says she'd love it
"if you'd only paint me blue"
she says "you can paint me blue"
outside the night is drunk
and all the stars are stumbling
but she stands so still
forgetting a wish
and if she drops her eyes
she knows he'll pick them up
in a brilliant streak of blue
high above the lips
he says
that she's a masterpiece
a freckle on the face of God
and it's true
so she's painted blue
she's closer to perfect
than me or you
she says "you can paint me blue"
and her eyes are floating
and her soul is sinking
but her lips keep striking poses
so he lets her go
this one girl show
he understands
and now she knows it
she begs hang me
hang me high
on the greyest wall you find
it's the closest thing
you'll ever get
to what's inside
he drops to his knees
declares this is art
i painted her blue
to match her heart
so here we are, movie star
put your love in my camera
so you don't forget
the time we spent
i watched you over and over
rainy day, another matinee
you know i just had to see you
i'll wait for you in a darkened room
you'll never need quite like i need you
do you really love the silver screen
or should i paint it black for you
i think my heart just stole the scene
since i've been acting up for you
i keep pretending that this
happy ending
was made between
the two of us
need it, can't have it
i'm too melodramatic
and hollywood is through with us
put you in a dream
and practiced love scenes
it was your finest performance
till the sun told my eyes
i've been featuring lies
a typical monday morning
(chorus)
so here we are, movie star
put your love in my camera
so you don't forget
the time we spent
i watched you over and over
put you in a dream
and practiced love scenes
it was your finest performance
till the sun told my eyes
i've been featuring lies
a typical monday morning
(chorus)
This is as real as it gets!
if this was heaven
you'd all be angels
still here we are
just men with haloes
and i know
you're paying for this glow
yeah, i know the names
i know the games
i talk to god
and i asked him the way
keep me safe
from the way i feel inside
keep me safe
from that look in your eyes
its not the way that you can't
it's not the way that you won't
it's not the way you say you're
lonely when you're only alone
you're only alone
if this was heaven
i'd kill myself
just to see if i could make it again
would you help?
forgive me, please
but you can never forget me
i wanna go so far
i wanna be so good
i wanna hate myself when i'm
misunderstood
if this was heaven
i'd say it hurts like hell
i'm just upset and it's just as well
its not the way that you can't
it's not the way that you won't
it's not the way you say you're
lonely when you're only alone
you're only alone
THANK YOU, DRIVE SAFELY
GOOD NIGHT AND GOD BLESS
