You’re the one that always cries danger You’re the one that talks to strangers Sleeping up against the wall With one eye open All alone I’ve been dreaming in color From the fields I see another Quiet as the atmosphere Quiet as I lay here With one eye closed to everywhere you’ve been Do you see everything I wonder Can you feel my blood down under Listen to my heart beat Creeping up behind you You’re the one that always cries danger You’re the one that talks to strangers Sleeping up against the wall With one eye open And one eye closed to everywhere you’ve been

If you’re afraid to ask then I don’t want to tell You got two tricks left and none to fail So let your jet-lagged heart move on You got one foot in the grave You got one foot in the ocean And that’s all right I can’t forgive you yet until you pay the price Don’t reinvent yourself just to suit the lies Let them out for all to see You got one foot in the grave You got one foot in the ocean Don’t give away your age until you lose the fight ‘Cause I would never guess and I’m never right And without shame and without fail You got one foot in the grave You got one foot in the ocean And that’s all right If you’re afraid to ask then I don’t want to tell You got two tricks left and none to fail So let your jet-lagged heart move on You got one foot in the grave You got one foot in the ocean And that’s all right

The Killing 03:14
Sometimes drifting and left here twisting I could not move you or make you better Oh no, I look behind but not fall down At the sound All this killing this peaceful feeling I will not show you the fear inside me Oh no, I have no ghost in this fight Tonight I have no ghost in this fight tonight I have no ghost in this fight Dry these tears of midnight theories They burn so brightly I move too quickly And fade to the sun and stars I fade I have no ghost in this fight tonight I have no ghost in this fight PICTURES OF THE NIGHT
4.
You go out alone taking pictures of the night Slipping out while others sleep There’s nothing here that’s left to dream You’re watching from a high wire Tell me now what lovers say When you go out alone taking pictures of the night Wilson down to 63rd They’re fighting on the red line You promenade and watch them bleed There’s something there you’ve never seen When you go out alone taking pictures of the night Easing out across the drive Desperate now to stay alive It’s cold enough to touch their wings Careful when you let them in When you go out alone taking pictures of the night
5.
Bathing in the twilight the words are falling You don’t realize the torture or how you make a scene And sometimes I blow up Sometimes you’re just too much Sometimes you’re just enough Maybe when you touch down I’ll be by your side Buried in the landslide of how you make me feel And sometimes you blow up Sometimes it’s just too much Sometimes it’s just enough To keep me on To keep me on Counting down the silence until we lift the veil Holding up our enemies, they never suspect That sometimes we blow up Sometimes we’re just too much Sometimes we’re just enough Sometimes we’re just enough
6.
Hung down among the pines Wide eyed from the storm On my skin I feel the night Creeping in As the moon was winding down You took the fire from the stars And the light out from the sun You were falling once again All alone for the last time I explode in the cold when you hold me It’s been such a long way to love you As the world takes us on We always run for the cause We believe in our own perfection Now you make the skies thin blue Underneath before you move Down around me, down the road
7.
Fix your eyes upon the water The dark it falls down your shoulder Shake the winter from your hips And rest your weary midnight fists As the girls in green take the stage Oh the girls in green show their age Kneel down safe my sorry soldier And rise up slow when you’re called Sailing restless starting riots A wind so soft that kept its promise As the girls in green take the stage Oh the girls in green show their age
8.
I got up to follow, I got up to see you I got up to feel you through the door And you stood right beside me Laughing with my enemies through the door Nothing is allowed here but everything is possible The past is just a story we tell ourselves When we went down a storm We went down to the wire on our own Maybe I didn’t change the way I needed to Think of anything you might erase When you stand right beside me Laughing with my enemies through the door
9.
I’ve been awake here way too long Thinking out loud since you’ve been gone The yellow moon stays by my side Until the morning starts to rise And I’ve been dreaming you wake up Here with me wherever I run Deep under this night’s warm glow You’re pulling me in nice and slow But can you find me in the dark? I’m close enough to catch a spark Of course I feel you here with me Hold my hand and baby we’ll come down I’ll follow you all the way to the sun You bring the love and I’ll take the fire from you You bring the love and I’ll take the fire from you I’ll follow you all the way to the sun We should swear then by this moon That we’ll never run alone We could sit under these stars And wait for the light to take us home I’ll follow you all the way to the sun
10.
In a love-struck summer Near the Indian River In a night long fever Don’t make me wait Don’t make me war With you Don’t make me war Let’s stand on shoulders in all this this beauty ‘Cause we might be changing And the words are failing me But I might forgive you Sometimes I might forgive you
