When superstars and cannonballs are running through your head
And television freak show cops and robbers everywhere
Subway makes me nervous, people pushing me too far
I've got to break away
So take my hand now

Chorus:
'Cause I want to live like animals
Careless and free like animals
I want to live
I want to run through the jungle
The wind in my hair and the sand at my feet

I'd been having difficulties keeping to myself
Feelings and emotions better left up on the shelf
Animals and children tell the truth, they never lie
Which one is more human
There's a thought, now you decide

Compassion in the jungle
Compassion in your hands, yeah
Would you like to make a run for it
Would you like to take my hand, yeah

Chorus

Sometimes this life can get you down
It's so confusing
There's so many rules to follow
And I feel it
'Cause I just run away in my mind

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Superstars and cannonballs running through your head
Television freak show cops and robbers everywhere
Animals and children tell the truth, they never lie
Which one is more human
There's a thought, now you decide

Compassion in the jungle
Compassion in your hands, yeah
Would you like to make a run for it
Would you like to take my hand, yeah

Chorus (repeat to fade)

                            That I need to, I want to
                      Come stand a little bit closer
                      Breathe in and get a bit higher
                      You'll never know what hit you
                             When I get to you
                              Ooh, I want you
                        I don't know if I need you
                       But, ooh, I'd die to find out
                              Ooh, I want you
                        I don't know if I need you
                       But, ooh, I'd die to find out
                        I'm the kind of person who
                                 endorses
                             a deep commitment

                   Getting comfy getting perfect
                            is what I live for
                    But a look, then a smell of perfume
                      It's like I'm down on the floor
                     And I don't know what I'm in for
                    Conversation has a time and a place
                     In the interaction of a lover and
                                  a mate,
                          But the time of talking
                        using symbols, using words
                    Can be likened to a deep sea diver
                      who is swimming with a raincoat
                      Come stand a little bit closer
                      Breathe in and get a bit higher

                          You'll never know what hit you
                             When I get to you
                              Ooh, I want you
                        I don't know if I need you
                       But, ooh, I'd die to find out
                              Ooh, I want you
                        I don't know if I need you
                       But, ooh, I'd die to find out
                     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
                         That I need to, I want to
                              Ooh, I want you
                        I don't know if I need you
                       But, ooh, I'd die to find out
                              Ooh, I want you
                        I don't know if I need you
                       But, ooh, I'd die to find out
                            So can we find out?

                               truly madly deeply
.
                   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
                  I want to stand with you on a mountain
                    I want to bathe with you in the sea
                      I want to lay like this forever
                      Until the sky falls down on me
        And when the stars are shining brightly in the velvet sky,
                   I'll make a wish to send it to heaven
                         Then make you want to cry
          The tears of joy for all the pleasure in the certainty
          That we're surrounded by the comfort and protection of
                            The highest powers
                              In lonely hours
                           The tears devour you
                  I want to stand with you on a mountain
                    I want to bathe with you in the sea
                      I want to lay like this forever
                      Until the sky falls down on me
                          Oh can you see it baby?
                     You don't have to close your eyes
                 'Cause its standing right here before you
                    All that you need will surely come
                   I'll be your dream I'll be your wish
                           I'll be your fantasy
                    I'll be you hope I'll be your love
                        Be everything that you need
                   I'll love you more with every breath
                          Truly, madly deeply do
                  I want to stand with you on a mountain
                    I want to bathe with you in the sea
                      I want to lay like this forever
                       Until the sky falls down on me

       If there's a way that you could be everything you want to be,
                 Would you complain that it came to 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 going to crash into your world
                             And that's no lie
             You want to give ecstasy delivered with certainty
            But you're afraid that the pleasure won't be needed
          In a way, we're the same two people looking out to sea
               For a wave that would carry all our fantasies
                    If there's a way to infiltrate you
                     Sway your mind and complicate you
                    I'm going to crash into your world
                             And that's no lie
                    Let your body move into the doorway
                  To the disco inside your head (Violet)
                  Wear a colour that you want to cling to
                   The colour inside your head (Violet)
               Contemplate jealousy intermixed with urgency
          A million things take a damned good shot at you and me
                    If there's a way to infiltrate you
                     Sway your mind and complicate you
                    I'm going to crash into your world
                             And that's no lie
                    Let your body move into the doorway
                  To the disco inside your head (Violet)
                  Wear a colour that you want to cling to
                   The colour inside your head (Violet)
                            I'm gonna take you
                       I'll do my best to break you
                         I'm gonna take you higher
                             And that's no lie
           Common sense is a game many people don't like to play
            But give it in and the moment takes you either way
                     I've got a dream to take you over
                        Exploding like a supernova
                    I'm going to crash into your world
                             And that's no lie
                    Let your body move into the doorway
                  To the disco inside your head (Violet)
                  Wear a colour that you want to cling to
                   The colour inside your head (Violet)
       If there's a way that you could be everything you want to be,
                 Would you complain that it came too easy?
          In a way, we're the same two people looking out to see
                 For a wave that would carry all our fate

                                  a thousand words
.
       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
     You could resurrect a thousand words to deceive me more and more
    A thousand words will give the reasons why I don't need you anymore
           Time manipulates your heart, preconception torn apart
                      Begin to doubt my state of mind
                    But I won't go down on what I said
     I won't retract convictions read I may perplex, but I'm not blind
       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
     You could resurrect a thousand words to deceive me more and more
    A thousand words will give the reasons why I don't need you anymore
           Manipulation. Fabrication. Conversation. Annihilation
                     I'll say a thousand words or more
              Damnation. Frustration. Elevation. Procreation
                     I'll say a thousand word or more
     You could resurrect a thousand words to deceive me more and more
   A thousand words will give the reasons why I don't need you anymore.

                                       mine
.
                          I wait in the darkness.
                      Frozen winds surround my face.
           In the cover of darkness I can make believe it's you.
                         I feel you like the rain,
            I feel you like a storm cloud building in my heart.
   I wonder if you know the pain, to want the one thing you haven't got.
               Just a twist in time ...and you could be mine
                Just a sip of wine ...and you could be mine
                            Just a kiss devine
                        A hand brushes by my love.
                       A smile fuels a steel inferno
                 You don't have to die to leave my world.
                     Stand still and you've departed.
          It seems I'm now on your mind and I'm wasting my time.
                        I'm just a fool to believe.
             In the death of the night can you feel me inside?
                     I wish that you could conceive..
               Just a twist in time ...and you could be mine
                Just a sip of wine ...and you could be mine
                Just a kiss devine ...and you could be mine
                    Won't you leave me in the darkness.
        Take away the pride, all the dignity that's burning inside.
                     Can't you see I'm standing naked.
       I'll bear all the crosses and the crucifixes you can provide.
                           If you could decide.
               Just a twist in time ...and you could be mine
                Just a sip of wine ...and you could be mine
                Just a kiss devine ...and you could be mine

    In Santa Monica, in the wintertime, 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 Norman Mailer
                   And you wouldn't know the difference
                               Or would you?
    In Santa Monica, all the people got modern names like Jake or Mandy
                           And modern bodies too
   In Santa Monica, on the boulevard, you'll have to dodge those in-line
                                  skaters
                         Or they'll knock you down
                          I never felt so lonely
                        Never felt so out of place

                  But on the telephone line I am anyone,
                        I am anything I want to be
                 I could be a super model or Norman Mailer
                   And you wouldn't know the difference
                  On the telephone line I am any height,
                         I am any age I want to be
               I could be a caped crusader, or space invader
                   And you wouldn't know the difference
                               Or would you?

              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 to wall?
                 But the picture is coming back now baby,
                        And I want to take it all.
        Don't go making all these promises you know you cannot keep
           There's a time to play a king and time to be a thief
    'Cause if you're makin all these promises you know you cannot keep
  You know time will be the thief and your fallen king will end up alone
                 So let you body move a little bit closer
                Silent like the sound proceeding a cyclone
                   Don't you know that powerful thinking
               Can be a force you don't want to relinquish?
                         Well don't you know that,
              They say that hanging on will justify the wait?
        But patience and elated wisdom don't share a common phrase
        Don't go making all these promises you know you cannot keep
           There's a time to play a king and time to be a thief
    'Cause if you're makin all these promises you know you cannot keep
  You know time will be the thief and your fallen king will end up alone
               Well, I'm only hanging on for what goes down
           I'm floating high and my feet don't touch the ground
          I'd take advantage but I can't see through the charade
              So don't you, don't go make it harder than hell
                  'Cause when it comes down to the making
                 You better be damned sure you can take it
                                 Hey baby
     Well don't go making all these promises you know you cannot keep
           There's a time to play a king and time to be a thief
    'Cause if you're makin all these promises you know you cannot keep
  You know time will be the thief and your fallen king will end up alone

             Your just turning yourself inside out for no need
            This thing you're using is worse then a photograph
           It picks you up and it turns you inside out now baby

                      Yeah they're designed that way

                         Would you believe in Him?
          Would you bust your asses to get Him institutionalised?
                         Well, I bet He'd be cool

                       I bet that He'd smelt divine
              I'm not talking about Calvin Klein's Obsession
             Just one of those people smell good all the time
                           There's no reason why
                            What would He wear?
                       Would He wear Tommy Hilfiger?
                        Or prefer Urban Outfitted?
                             I don't think so
                      Well, I bet He'd like Gaultier
                      But you'd never find Him in it
                         I bet He'd like Gaultier
        Lord I need your protection spend some time in my direction
                      You know every once and a while

           'Cos I wonder how we'd deal if He just passed you by
                           I bet He'd be a star
            I bet my Star Wars figures He would be a movie star
                    A Quentin Tarantino next-big-thing
                  Prima donna, then he'd appear on Opera
                      You know what? I don't think so
            But could you imagine him hanging Piccadilly Circus
                       Time Square, The Walk of Fame
               At Christies He could easily become a regular
                     D'you know what? I don't think so
          I bet my speeder bike He'd turn his back on all of that
        Lord I need your protection spend some time in my direction
                     Well some people have just got it
               You know like standing next to Elvis Presley
 Well then multiply that feeling by 1 million and you know what I'm talking
                                   about
                         Coz I'll bet He was cool
            Man I bet that cat was so dammed good looking baby

                              love can move you
.
                  Get me through the heart of the freeway
                 Got to see the lights up in New York City
   I'm so close I think I can hear the sound of the taxi siren symphony
                      Don't you want to feel amazing?
                            Baby you know I do
                You get back ten times what you give freely
                           Like my mamma told me
               Love can move you take you deeper every time
           Can make the darkest moments like heaven's come alive
              Love can move you to a place inside your heart
   Where you can fear no evil and acceptance is a natural part of life.
                     Get me to the heart of the subway
                 Creepin' like a snake into New York City
                I'm so close I think I can see those lights
                   Let the sun get closer to the ground
                      Don't you want to feel amazing?
                            Baby you know I do
                You get back ten times what you give freely
                           Like my mamma told me
                    And I breathe the love you've given
                     And I feel the love you've hidden
          And though it's cold down here well I can honestly say
                             I can still stay
                          That love can move you
                     That love can move you too child
                            Repeat Chorus to end
.
                        this side of me
.
                      I want to move in time with you
                    I want to breathe in rhyme with you
                      I want to feel the deepest kiss
                   And I want to know you feel like this
                        For this one time, one time
                       Let my body do what it feels
                        For just one time, one time
                       Let this fantasy become real
          Because I am not afraid to let you see this side of me
                     I want to feel your hand in mine
                    And I want to wear the scent of you
                   And do all the things you want me to
                     I feel the danger, the separation
                      I want to take your invitation
                      This separation it's all around
                          I need this side of me
                      I want to move in time with you
                    I want to breathe in rhyme with you
                    I want to stitch my clothes in sin
                              And in the dark
                  I want to find that door and go within
                               Repeat Chorus
