Honey It's been a long time coming And I can't stop now Such a long time running And I can't stop now Do you hear my heart beating? Can you hear the sound? Cos I can't help thinking And I don't look down...
And then I looked up at the sun and I could see Oh the way that gravity turns for you and me And then I looked up at the sky and saw the sun And the way that gravity pulls on everyone On everyone...
Baby It's been a long time waiting Such a long long time And I can't stop smiling No I can't stop now Do you hear my heart beating? Oh can you hear that sound? Cos I can't help crying And I won't look down...
And then I looked up at the sun and I could see Oh the way that gravity turns on you and me And then I looked up at the sun and saw the sky And the way that gravity pulls on you and I On you and I
Can you hear my heart beating? Oh do you hear that sound? Cos I can't help crying and I won't look down.
Passed out on the overpass Sunday best and broken glass Broken down from the bikes and bars Suspended like spirits over speeding cars You and me we're kings over the parkway tonight And tonight will go on forever while we walk around this town like we own the streets and stay awake through summer like we own the heat Singing "everybody wake up (wake up) it's time to get down" (everybody, everybody wake up it's time to get down) And when I pass the bottle back to pete on the overpass tonight, I bet we laugh
I'm gonna stay eighteen forever (cut me open) So we can stay like this forever (sun poisoned) And we'll never miss a party (this offer...) cause we keep them going constantly (...stands forever) And we'll never have to listen (new haircut) to anyone about anything (new bracelet) cause it's all been done and its all been said (eyeliner) we're the coolest kids and we take what we can get
The hell out of this town Find some conversation The low fuel lights been on for days It doesn't mean anything I've got another 500, 'nother 500 miles before we shut this engine down, (we shut it down)
I'm gonna stay eighteen forever (cut me open) So we can stay like this forever (sun poisoned) And we'll never miss a party (this offer...) cause we keep them going constantly (...stands forever) And we'll never have to listen (new haircut) to anyone about anything (new bracelet) cause its all been done and its all been said (eyeliner) we're the coolest kids and we take what we can get (wait forever)
(you're just jealous cause I'm young and in love) Eighteen forever (first kisses) (your stomach's filled up but you're starved for conversation) So we can stay like this forever (new stitches) (you're spending all your nights growing old in your bed) And we'll never miss a party (collar weekend) (and your tearin up your photos cause you wanna forget... it's over) cause we keep them going constantly (appearance ticket) (you're just jealous cause we're young and in love) And we'll never have to listen (November to...) (your stomach's filled up but you're starved for conversation) to anyone about anything cause it's all been done (...remember) (you're spending all your nights growing old in your bed) and it's all been said (nightswimmers) (and your tearin up your photos cause you wanna forget... it's over) we're the coolest kids and we take what we can get
Just jealous cause we're young and in love You're just jealous cause we're young and in love You're just jealous cause we're young and in love You're just jealous cause we're young and in love You're just jealous cause we're young and in love
Was an honest man Asked me for the phone Tried to take control I don't see it that way I don't see it that way
We shared some ideas All obsessed with fame Ways we're all the same I don't see it that way I don't see it that way
Raised in Carolina I'm not like that Trying to remind her When we go back
I missed the last bus I'll take the next train I tried but you see It's hard to explain I say the right thing But act the wrong way I like it right here But I cannot stay I watch the tv Forget what I'm told Well I am too young And they are too old The joke is on you This place is a zoo You're right, it's true
He said he can't decide I shake my head to say Everything's just great Oh I just can't remember Oh I just can't remember
Raised in Carolina (she says) I'm not like that Trying to remind her When we go back

In many ways they'll miss the good old days Someday, someday Yeah it hurts to say but I want you to stay Sometimes, sometimes When we was young ah man did we have fun Always, always Promises they break before they're made Sometimes, sometimes
Oh my ex says I'm lacking in depth I will do my best You say you want to stay by my side Darling your head's not right You see alone we stand together we fall apart Yea I think I'll be all right I'm working so I wont have to try so hard Tables they turn sometimes, oh someday I ain't wasting no more time
Trying, trying

Oh my ex says I'm lacking in depth Say I will try my best You say you want to stay by my side Darling your head's not right You see alone we stand together we fall apart Ah I think I'll be all right I'm working so I wont have to try so hard Tables they turn sometimes, oh someday I ain't wasting no more time
Outside another yellow moon has punched a hole in the night time mist I climb through the window and down to the street I'm shining like a new dime The downtown trains are full full of all them Brooklyn girls They try so hard to break out of their little worlds
You wave your hand and they scatter like crows They have nothing that'll ever capture your heart They're just thorns without the rose Be careful of them in the dark Oh if I was the one you chose to be your only one Oh baby can't you hear me now, can't you hear me now
Will I see you tonight on a downtown train Every night, every night its just the same On a downtown train
I know your window and I know its late I know your stairs and your doorway I walk down your street and past your gate I stand by the light of the four way and watch them as they fall, oh baby They all having their heart attacks They stay at the carnival But they'll never win you back
Will I see you tonight on a downtown train Every night, every night its just the same You leave me lonely Will I see you tonight on a downtown train All my dreams, all my dreams fall like rain On a downtown train
Will I see you tonight on a downtown train Every night, every night its just the same
Will I see you tonight on a downtown train All my dreams, all my dreams fall like rain On a downtown train On a downtown train All my dreams fall like rain On a downtown train
What a drag it is The shape I'm in Well I go out somewhere Then I come home again

All my life Watching America All my life There's panic in America Oh Oh Oh, Oh There's trouble in America Oh Oh Oh, Oh
Yesterday was easy Happiness came and went I got the movie script But I don't know what it meant

He's got the feeling again This time on the aeroplane There might be tellys in the back of the seats in front But Rodney and Del won't do Although it might take your mind off the aches and the pains Laugh when he falls through the bar But you're feeling the same 'Cause she isn't there to hold your hand She won't be waiting for you when you land
It feels like she's just nowhere near You could well be out on your ear This thought comes closely followed by the fear And the thought of it Makes you feel a bit Ill
Yesterday I saw a girl Who looked like someone you might knock about with And almost shouted And then reality kicked in within us It seems as we become the winners You lose a bit of summat And half wonder if you won it at all

I know you think you deserve an explanation on the meanings of life but what you think that you heard slipped away out the back of your mind
You get your mucky fingers burned you get your truth from the lies you were learned and all your plastic believers still leave us and they won't return
(Walk on)
And when you look in the mirror and your tying up your buttons and bows and as you face your disease you can squeeze into the emperor's clothes
You found your GOD in a paper bag you get your history from the union jack and all your brothers and sisters have gone and they wont come back
Fed up with life in the city cos all the phonies are on my mind when i'm gone, yeah, you look like you miss me so come along with me, don't ask why
Cos it's all mine!! Cos it's all mine!! Cos it's all mine!! Cos it's all mine!!
