トゥルルルル~♪

Every time you look at me I'm overthrown by gravity pulling me down

Is it trying to bury me, bring on my early death or hold me safely to the ground?

Every word you said to me is carved into my memory like words on a gravestone

I let my heart build a monument and dedicate it to you without realizing I'd made it into my home

What goes around comes back around And it's all coming back to me

I didn't know how to love someone who needed the ocean

When all I had was the sea If i could explain I'm sure you'd understand

But you never listen to me I'm standing trial against everyone I've ever loved

And they've all found me guilty If i let you destroy me will you finally feel free?

You called me again in the middle of the night

To tell me you found god in the centre of the eyes Of a pretty girl who never cries the way I did every day

Now the sun puts on a show, she's taking off her clothes But the moon just says goodnight

And so it goes with you and I and all our starry-eyed fantasies, washed away

As the trees all shed their leaves, seasons change and so do we As we burn away our fears

With ink stains on our hands from all the eulogies we read Shaking hands, make us bleed

You are bitter wind

Against my freezing skin

The reason I stay in on these cold October days

You're the breath that I inhale

While I write these words

Wishing there was something I could say

I know I fall to pieces every time you touch me

But I really want you to stay

My funeral boy, body like a coffin

Laying in an empty grave

قتلاكَ، أو جرحاك فيك ذخيرةٌ
فاضربْ بها . إضربْ عدوَّكَ...لا مَفَرُّ
أَشلاؤنا أسماؤنا
حاصرْ حصارَك بالجنونِ
وبالجنونْ
ذهبَ الذين تحبُّهم، ذهبوا
فإمَّا أن تكونْ
أَو لا تكونْ,
سقط القناعُ عن القناعِ عن القناعِ
سقط القناعُ
ولا أَحدْ
إلاَّك في هذا المدى المفتوح للأعداء والنسيانِ,
فاجعل كُلَّ متراسٍ بَلَدْ
لا .. لا أَحَدْ
سقط القناعُ
عَرَبٌ أَطاعوا رُومَهم
عَرَبٌ وبارعوا رُوْحَهُم
عَرَبٌ.. وضاعوا
سَقَطَ القناعُ
والله غَمَّسَ باسمك البحريِّ أَسبوعَ
الولادةِ واستراحَ الى الأَبَدْ
كُنْ أنتَ. كُنْ حتى تكونْ !
لا ... لا أَحَدْ

Through the fish-eyed lens of tear stained eyes

I can barely define the shape of this moment in time

And far from flying high in clear blue skies

I'm spiraling down to the hole in the ground where I hide

If you negotiate the minefield in the drive

And beat the dogs and cheat the cold electronic eyes

And if you make it past the shotguns in the hall

Dial the combination, open the priesthole

And if I'm in I'll tell you (what's behind the wall)(Yahoo!)

There's a kid who had a big hallucination

Making love to girls in magazines

He wonders if you're sleeping with your new found faith

Could anybody love him

Or is it just a crazy dream?

And if I show you my dark side

Will you still hold me tonight?

And if I open my heart to you

And show you my weak side

What would you do?

Would you sell your story to Rolling Stone?

Would you take the children away

And leave me alone?

And smile in reassurance

As you whisper down the phone?

Would you send me packing?

Or would you take me home?

Thought I oughta bare my naked feelings

Thought I oughta tear the curtain down

I held the blade in trembling hands

Prepared to make it but...

Just then the phone rang

I never had the nerve to make the final cut
