Текст песни:

The radio plays the sounds we made
And everything seems to feel just right
Coming through your lonely mind
Well I′ve seen things
That scarred and bruised and left me blind
So come on, listen along with me
I think you need a little company

And how long will I run for?
Who am I running from?

And it makes sense
The youth coming up and making you dance
′Cause I′ve got some living inside of me
So come on I could use the company

And how long will I run for?
Who am I running from?
But now I′ve seen my face in a cardboard wall
Nobody comes, nobody calls

How long will I run for?
Who am I running from?
Teenage tears sting my eyeballs
In a town where I wasn′t born
And I will never suffer
So come on, come on, come on
But now I see my face in a cardboard wall
Nobody comes, nobody calls

If you′re looking for me
I′m there and it′s you
If you′re looking for me out there it′s true
If you′re looking for
I′ll be looking for you
If you′re looking for me
Then I′m looking for you
If you′re looking for me
Then I′m looking for you
If you′re looking for me
Then I′m looking for you

Текст песни:

A beautiful mind or a beautiful body
I know which one I′m gonna end upon
You say you will but you never promised thoughts

A smile and a hand mix like water with sand
As far as you′re concerned
A road and a sign I know which one catches my eyes

And I, thought I heard it for a while
Then it all came to me
Sometimes I just don′t know I believe in

Don′t you wanna know when I suffer
It doesn′t show
A smile and a hand mix like water with sand don′t you know?

I was thinking about moving back home
I don′t really need to live here
No no I didn′t I could I′m sure I would if I knew that
I didn′t I could I′m sure I would if I knew that

A smile and a hand mix like water with sand
As far as you′re concerned
A beautiful mind or a beautiful body
I know which one, I′m gonna end upon end upon

Текст песни:

Cos′ it′s a bittersweet symphony this life...
Trying to make ends meet , you′re a slave to the money then
you die.
I′ll take you down the only road I′ve ever been down...
You know the one that takes you to the places where all the
veins meet, yeah.
No change, I can′t change, I can′t change, I can′t change,
but I′m here in my mold , I am here in my mold.
But I′m a million different people from one day to the
next...
I can′t change my mold, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

Well I never pray,
But tonight I′m on my knees, yeah.
I need to hear some sounds that recognise the pain in me,
yeah.
I let the melody shine, let it cleanse my mind , I feel free
now.
But the airwaves are clean and there′s nobody singing to me
now.

No change, I can′t change, I can′t change, I can′t change,
but I′m here in my mold , I am here in my mold.
And I′m a million different people from one day to the next
I can′t change my mold, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

(Well have you ever been down?)
(I can′t change, I can′t change...)

Cos′ it′s a bittersweet symphony this life.
Trying to make ends meet, trying to find some money then you
die.
You know I can′t change, I can′t change, I can′t change, but
I′m here in my mold, I am here in my mold.
And I′m a million different people from one day to the next.

I can′t change my mold, no,no,no,no,no,no,no

(I′ll take you down the only road I′ve ever been down) (I′ll
take you down the only road I′ve ever been down) (It justs
sex and violence melody and silence) (Been down) (Ever been
down) (Ever been down)

Текст песни:

There you were on the floor
Cut up and all alone
I′ll help you
Conceived in a chrome dream I was a crease in the shirt that this world wears
Till I met Blue
I was in obscurity he said
"Loosen up who do you wanna be?"

We could steal a car
And listen to the stars
I can see you′ve choked on them too
Had enough of late night films
Just enough for an hour or two
Hey ,Blue, show me something new
Hey, Blue, show me something new

Blue, I′ve got a question every time I hold you
Yeah, Blue, I′ve got a question every time I swallow you it′s true

Spike danced for 10 days long
We were just heading for the sun
You shot him down there′s blood on my face
His heart′s in the right place
What they gonna do to you
What they gonna do

Blue, don′t forget the word I warned you
Oh, Blue,don′t let them push you
Don′t let them destroy you
Meanwhile, I′m searching with my brain-blown eyes
See the world through my dirty, lonely, mixed-up mind

Текст песни:

You could flap your wings a thousand miles away
Butterfly
A laughing salesman sings
His world so far away
Butterfly

Butterfly
Butterfly

You could take the storm away forever every day
Cause you′re mine
And I don′t know what to say
You could let my smile disappear for a year
Cause you′re mine
That′s the only way I like it to be

Butterfly
Butterfly
Butterfly
Butterfly

You could flap your wings a thousand miles away
I′d still feel the pain
I′d still feel the pain
You could flap those eyes a thousand miles away
I′d still feel the way
I′d still feel the way

Butterfly
Butterfly

Here she comes now
Here she comes now
Here it comes now
Here she comes now
Here it comes now...
When we get to the best part
It happens all the time
You tell me all your lies
You tell me all your lies
You get your kicks from seeing me on the floor
Tied to your bed
Tied to the things you said
Butterfly is coming back
Butterfly is coming back
Butterfly is coming back
Butterfly is coming back

Butterfly
Butterfly
Butterfly

Текст песни:

The show is over close the story book
There will be no encore
And all the random hands that I have shook
Well they′re reaching for the door
I watch their backs as they leave single file
But you stood stubborn, cheering all the while

I know I can be colorful
I know I can be gray
But I know this loser′s living fortunate
Cause I know you will love me either way

Most were being good for goodness sake
But you wouldn′t pantomime
You are more beautiful when you awake
Than most are in a lifetime
Through the haze that is my memory well
You stayed for drama though you paid for a comedy

I know I can be colorful
I know I can be gray
But I know this loser′s living fortunate
Cause I know you will love me either way

Look ahead as far as you can see
We′ll live in drama but we′ll die in a comedy
I know I can be colorful...

Текст песни:

I awoke to a threat that was empty, and a grandstand of I′m not through with you yet 
A slamming door becomes my punctuation 
I escape for a thrill ride with my friends, they agree to be temporary guardians 

Man, it′s so appreciated, summer day intoxicated 
With those who can relate, 2 months, a day, a wakeup 

Drink it down, dear brother, their generation smothers you 
And we′ll leave no trail to discover 
Build a callus sister, they′re generation blisters 
Another wakeup with the morning hung over, we gonna pack up or waste another killer day 
Then our heads exploded, overload when we decide 

Hello... we′re so out of here, hitchhike to Canada with backpacks full of cigarettes and
beer 

Man, it′s so appreciated, summer day intoxicated 
With those who can relate, 2 months, a day, a wakeup 

Drink it down, dear brother.. 
Listen up dear father, your generation bothers me and I′ll leave you to grieve 
With my mother 
Build a callus sister, they′re generation blisters 

Now empty your bottles and open the throttles, there′s plenty of fighting ahead 
Those fists weren′t made for resting your head 

Shield your eyes, dear mother, from the pain that hovers 
Round the mess of a man you′ve uncovered 
Drink it down, dear brother... 
We′ll blister

Текст песни:

Love is not strong
Love is not stable
I tried to hold it
But I wasn′t able
I never thought that I′d be
Saying this to you
But what else could I do?
Love leads to loss
And words condescending
Love is the pathway
To unhappy endings
And if I keep my chin up
I still see clouds that look like you
So look down is what I do
You know it′s all right
If you cry a little
If something inside you
Has died a little
You don′t have to hide
But you gotta move on
You gotta move on
Love leads to tears
Tears lead to sadness
Sadness to memories
Memories to madness
I never thought of all
These things that love could be
But look what it did to me
You know it′s all right
If you cry a little
If something inside you
Has died a little
You don′t have to hide
But you gotta move on
You gotta move on
(repeat)

Текст песни:

The world is giving you the run-around
And leaves you feeling low and let down but
Happiness is 
Wherever you find it
I′m not waiting for a friend beside me
Or for the lord above to guide me
My happiness is 
Wherever I find it 
And I wanna find it with you
Have you ever felt so out of place
That the smile on your face
Was to keep from cryin′
I don′t know how we get so out of touch
But I don′t want much
Just to find out
What happiness is
While everybody else is winning
You′re stuck waiting for your new beginning
So happiness is
Wherever you find it
You may be full of life′s frustrations
But I′m up for negotiations
My happiness is
Wherever I find it
And I wanna find it with you
Have you ever felt...
If you got your lucky break and broke it
I guess you′ve got your options open
But happiness is
Wherever you find it...yeah
And I wanna find it with you
Have you ever felt so out of place
That the smile on your face
Was to keep from cryin′
I don′t know how we get so out of touch
But I don′t want much
Just to keep on tryin′
People say a prayer every day
That they end up with more than their next door neighbor
I′m not buying all their ego trips
But I′ll get my kicks
When I find out 
What happiness is
