01. sail to the moon

i sail to the moon
i spoke too soon
and how much did it cost
i was dropped from
the moonbeam
and sailed on shooting stars

maybe you'll
be president
but know right from wrong
or in the flood
you'll build an Ark

and sail us to the moon
sail us to the moon
sail us to the moon
sail us to the moon

i'm walking out in a force ten gale
birds thrown around, bullets for hail
the roof is pulling off by its fingernails
your voice is rattlin’ on my window sill
yesterday's headlines blown by the wind
yesterday's people end up scatterbrain
any fool can easy pick a hole i only wish i could fall in
a moving target in a firing range
somewhere i'm not
scatterbrain
somewhere i'm not
scatterbrain
lightning fuse, powercut
scatterbrain

this and that, they must be the same
what is legal is just what's real
what I'm given to understand
is exactly what i steal
iwormed my way into the heart of the crowd
i wormed my way into the heart of the crowd
i was shocked to find what was allowed
i didn't lose myself in the crowd
shot by both sides
on the run to the outside of everything
shot by both sides
they must have come to a secret understanding
new offences always in my nerves
they're taking my time by force
they all sound the same when they scream
as a matter of course
i wormed my way into the heart of the crowd
i wormed my way into the heart of the crowd
i was shocked to find what was allowed
i didn't lose myself in the crowd
shot by both sides
on the run to the outside of everything
shot by both sides
they must have come to a secret understanding
"why are you so edgy, kid?"
ssks the man with the voice
one thing follows another
you live and learn, you have no choice
i wormed my way into the heart of the crowd
i wormed my way into the heart of the crowd
i was shocked to find what was allowed
i didn't lose myself in the crowd
i didn't lose myself in the crowd
but i worm my way
shot by both sides
on the run to the outside of everything
shot by both sides
we must have come to a secret understanding
 

In my heart is where I long for you
In my smile I search for you
Each time you turn and run away I cry inside
In my silly way, too young to know any more
In my world the devil dances and dares
To leave my soul just anywhere
Until i find peace in this world
I'll sing a song everywhere i can
Just too young to know any more
The wind covers me cold
Starry skies all around my eyes
Far behind the city moans
Well worthy of the people there
Oh, the songs they love to hear
So let me sing a song for you
Just to help your day along
Let me sing a song for you
One i've known so very long
Oh, please could you spare the time

sit down, stand up
sit down, stand up
walk into the jaws of hell (sit down, stand up)
walk into the jaws of hell (sit down, stand up)
anytime (sit down)
anytime (stand up)
sit down, stand up
sit down, stand up
we can wipe you out anytime (sit down, stand up)
we can wipe you out (sit down, stand up)
anytime (sit down)
anytime
stand up (the rain drops the rain drops)
sit down (the rain drops the rain drops)
oh
the rain drops x46

And the wise man said "I don't wanna hear your voice"
And the thin man said "I don't wanna hear your voice"
And they're cursing me
And they won't let me be
There's nothing to say
And there's nothing to do

Stop whispering, start shouting
Stop whispering, start shouting

And my mother said "Let me spit on you son some more"
And the building said "Let me spit on your face some more"
And the feeling is
That there's something wrong
Cuz I can't find the words
And I can't find the song

Stop whispering, start shouting
Stop whispering, start shouting

They said, "I have a complaint
"Can't remember what it is
"That's why I'm here"

Stop whispering, start shouting
Stop whispering, start shouting

rows of houses all bearing down on me
i can feel their blue hands touching me
hold these things into position
all these things will want this world
and fade out again and fade out
this machine will, will not communicate
these thoughts and the strain I am under
be a world child form a circle
before we all go under
and fade out again and fade out again

cracked eggs, dead birds
scream as they fight for life
i can feel death, can see it's beady eyes
all these things we'll one day swallow whole
and fade out again and fade out again

immerse your soul in love
immerse your soul in love

I'm finding it hard
To drive your stupid car
I find it hard
'Cause I never get that far
And you put my brain in overload
And I can't chance gears
I cannot see the road
You got concrete eyes
And I cannot see your face
And I failed in life
'Cause you crushed me with your hands
And you put my brain in overload
I can't cange gear
I cannot the road

the breath of the morning
i keep forgetting
the smell of the warm summer air
i live in a town where you can't smell a thing
you watch your feet for cracks in the pavement
up above aliens hover making home movies for the folks back home
of all these weird creatures who lock up their spirits
drill holes in themselves and live for their secrets

they're all uptight
uptight
uptight
uptight
uptight
uptight

i wish that they'd swoop down in the country lane
late at night when i'm driving
take me onboard their beautiful ship
show me the weird world as i'd love to see it
i'd tell all my friends but they'd never believe me
they'd think that i'd finally lost it completely
i'd show them the stars and the meaning of life they'd shut me away but i'll be all right all right

I'm just uptight
uptight
uptight
uptight
uptight
uptight
uptight
uptight

you bite
through
the big wall
the big wall
bites back
you sit there
and
sulk
sit there and
bawl
you are so pretty
when youre
on your
knees
disinfected
eager
to please

sometimes
you sulk
sometimes
you burn
god rest
your soul
when the
loving comes
and we've
already gone
just like
your dad
you'll never
change

each time it
comes
it eats me
alive
i try to
behave
but it eats me
alive
so i declare
a holiday
fall asleep
drift away.
