On The Stage

Who are you running from?
We all saw you leave the bomb.
We don't know what you meant,
But necessity can make 'most anyone bent.
Everyday now how it all goes away.

Well you ought to see how we can be,
When we're on the stage.
You ought to see how we can be,
We get awful strange.

Someone's coming on,
They don't know where to start from,
When all these things turn bad,
And it seems the world's gone mad around you.
Every day now how it all goes away.

  

Moving

Everybody's looking but nobody really knows where you are.
You gotta look closely 'cause you know it's getting harder to see.

You know you've got to get away from those guys,
They think they've got the answers but they're just lies.

And you're moving, it's getting to me.
Moving, and anybody would see,

You're not really going to get far,
But don't listen to me.
You're not really going to get far,
But don't listen to me.
And I've almost done my time.

Everybody's looking but nobody really knows who I am.
It's not that they won't listen, that won't bother me.

You know you've got to get away from those guys,
They think they've got the answers but they're not right.
You've gotta get away now, there's too much to say.
But say, say it away.

  

Look

Like the things that I do,
I'm not the authority, whatever that means.
You wonder why people don't like you,
You'd think you didn't want them to the way you act.

If you want to be like me, then you're aiming too low.

Look up in the sky above you,
Hate the ones who say they love you,
There's fire in your eyes,
Stones coming down.
Look up in the sky above you
Hate the ones who say they love you
There's fire in your eyes.
Stones in your head.

And the things that you do,
They only make me pity you, its all you do
You wonder why people don't mind me
It's because I give them something back in the end

If you want to get a life, then just listen to me for some advice

I want to know, I need to know, do you care?

Look up in the sky above you,
Hate the ones who say they love you,
There's fire in your eyes,
If you want a life before you, don't you know?

 
Waiting

I was waiting, you were saying,
You say, you say, I said I was wrong
Forever and ever wrong

I kept moving, tried to lose you,
Things went wrong when I thought I had moves,
I'm always in the mood.

I'm waiting, definitely on the line,
To be found out.
I'm waiting, definitely out of time,
To be left out.

Please take me home, I need some inspiration please.
All on my own, it's quiet and it's not so bad.
