CEREMONY
This is why events unnerve me,
They find it all, a different story,
Notice whom for wheels are turning,
Turn again and turn towards this time,
All she ask's the strength to hold me,
Then again the same old story,
World will travel, oh so quickly,
Travel first and lean towards this time.

Oh, I'll break them down, no mercy shown,
Heaven knows, it's got to be this time,
Watching her, these things she said,
The times she cried,
Too frail to wake this time.

Oh I'll break them down, no mercy shown
Heaven knows, it's got to be this time,
Avenues all lined with trees,
Picture me and then you start watching,
Watching forever, forever,
Watching love grow, forever,
Letting me know, forever.

How does it feel to treat me like you do?
When you've laid your hands upon me
And told me who you are
I thought I was mistaken
I thought I heard your words
Tell me, how do I feel
Tell me now, How do I feel

Those who came before me
Lived through their vocations
From the past until completion
They'll turn away no more
And I still find it so hard
To say what I need to say
But I'm quite sure that you'll tell me
Just how should I feel today

I see a ship in the harbor
I can and shall obey
But if it wasn't for your misfortune
I'd be a heavenly person today
And I thought I was mistaken
And I thought I heard you speak
Tell me how do I feel
Tell me now, how should I feel

Now I stand here waiting...
I thought I told you to leave me
While I walked down to the beach
Tell me how does it feel
When your heart grows cold

You just can't believe me
When I show you what you mean to me
You just can't believe me
When I show you what you cannot see.

You're hiding from feelings, searching for more
Sharing and hoping, untouched for so long
Our lives still change from the way that we were
And now I'll tell you something I think you should know.

You just can't believe me
When I show you what you mean to me
You just can't believe me
When I show you what you cannot see.

You cause me confusion, you told me you cared
He's calling these changes that last to the end
Ask me no questions, I'll tell you no lies
The past is your present, the future is mine.

You just can't believe me
When I show you what you mean to me
You just can't believe me
When I show you what you cannot see.

You tell me you need me, I'll make it this time
The thread won't divide us, the sensation survives
I was sure that I told you it was good from the face
You've caused me some problems, you've taken my place.

Why can't you see what you mean to me?

I've watched your face for a long time
It's always the same
I've studied the cracks and the wrinkles
You were always so vain
Well, now you live your life like a shadow
In the pouring rain
Oh, it's called love
Yes, it's called love
Oh, it's called love
And it belongs to us
Oh, it dies so quickly
It grows so slowly
But when it dies, it dies for good
It's called love
And it belongs to everyone but us

I've lived my life in the valleys
I've lived my life on the hills
I've lived my life on alcohol
I've lived my life on pills
But it's called love
And it belongs to us
It's called love
And it's the only thing that's worth living for
It's called love
And it belongs to us
It's called love
Yes it's called love

Oh, love is found in the east and west
But when love is at home, it's the best
Love is the cure for every evil
Love is the air that supports the eagle
It's called love
And it's so un-cool
It's called love
And somehow it's become unmentionable
It's called love
And it belongs to every one of us
It's called love
And it cuts your life like a broken knife

I stood there beside myself
Thinking hard about the weather
Then came by a friend of mine
Suggested we go out together
Then I knew it from the start
This friend of mine would fall apart
Pretending not to see his gun
I said let's go out and have some fun

I know you know
We believe in a land of love
I know you know
We believe in a land of love

I have always thought about
Staying here and going out
Tonight I should have stayed at home
Playing with my pleasure zone
He has always been so strange
I'd often thought he was deranged
Pretending not to see his gun
I said let's go out and have some fun

I know you know
We believe in a land of love
I know you know

that's the way - shellshock
hold on! it's never enough
it's never enough until you heart stops beating
the deeper you get, the sweeter the pain
don't give up the game until your heart stops beating

you call me on the phone, you left me all alone
all i get from you is shellshock
another day goes by and all i do is cry
all i get from you is shellshock
i'd tell the world and save my soul
but rain falls down and i feel cold
a cold that sleeps within my heart
it tears the earth and sun apart
but that's the way i can win
a victim of your evil sin
you've lost the hold you've had on me
by causing the changes that you never see
hold on! it's never enough
it's never enough until you heart stops beating
the deeper you get, the sweeter the pain
don't give up the game until your heart stops beating

when we walk through open doorways,
counting time in one or more days
we can't find our peace of mind
and life becomes a life of crime
and that's the day i call your name
i came to you, i called in vain
you lost the faith within your heart
the fire in your soul from the end to the start
hold on! it's never enough
it's never enough until your heart stops beating
the deeper you get, the sweeter the pain
don't give up the game until your heart stops beating

i've been good and i've been bad
but common sense i've never had
no matter how i try and try,
i hide the truth behind a lie
but that's the way that i can win
a victim of your evil sin
you lost the faith within your heart
the fire in your soul from the end to the start
hold on! it's never enough
it's never enough until your heart stops beating
the deeper you get, the sweeter the pain
don't give up the game until your heart stops beating

I feel so extraordinary
Something's got a hold on me
I get this feeling I'm in motion
A sudden sense of liberty
I don't care 'cause I'm not there
And I don't care if I'm here tomorrow
Again and again I've taken too much
Of the things that cost you too much

I used to think that the day would never come
I'd see delight in the shade of the morning sun
My morning sun is the drug that brings me near
To the childhood I lost, replaced by fear
I used to think that the day would never come
That my life would depend on the morning sun...

When I was a very small boy,
Very small boys talked to me
Now that we've grown up together
They're afraid of what they see
That's the price that we all pay
Our valued destiny comes to nothing
I can't tell you where we're going
I guess there was just no way of knowing

I used to think that the day would never come
I'd see delight in the shade of the morning sun
My morning sun is the drug that brings me near
To the childhood I lost, replaced by fear
I used to think that the day would never come
That my life would depend on the morning sun...

I feel so extraordinary
Something's got a hold on me
I get this feeling I'm in motion
A sudden sense of liberty
The chances are we've gone too far
You took my time and you took my money
Now I fear you've left me standing
In a world that's so demanding

I used to think that the day would never come
I'd see delight in the shade of the morning sun
My morning sun is the drug that brings me near
To the childhood I lost, replaced by fear
I used to think that the day would never come
That my life would depend on the morning sun...

I just can't help thinking
What you've done to me
You built a wall of love
And tore it right down In front of me
And you think you know what's going on
You keep telling me that I am wrong
I don't care about what you do
'Cause if you mess with me
I'll get rid of you

Chorus:
The picture you see is no portrait of me
It's too real to be shown to someone I don't know
And it's driving me wild
It makes me act like a child

You think I am crazy, but what can I do
You waste your time, like my money
It ain't so funny, but it's true
(Don't waste my money, baby)
Now you can't tell me
What's going on
And that I am weak while you are strong
What is it you need
That makes your heart bleed
Do you really know? 'Cause it doesn't show

(Chorus x2)

Maybe I've forgotten
The name and the address
Of everyone I've ever known
There's nothing I regret
Save it for another day
It's the school exam
The kids have run away

I would like a place I could call my own
Have a conversation on the telephone
Wake up every day, that would be a start
I would not complain of my wounded heart
I was upset, you see
Almost all the time
You used to be a stranger
Now you are mine

I wouldn't even trust you
I've not got much to give
We're dealing in the limits
And we don't know who with
You may think that I'm out of hand
That I'm naive, I'll understand
On this occasion, it's not true
Look at me, I'm not you

I would like a place I could call my own
Have a conversation on the telephone
Wake up every day, that would be a start
I would not complain of my wounded heart
I was a short fuse
Burning all the time
You were a complete stranger
Now you are mine

I would like a place I could call my own
Have a conversation on the telephone
Wake up every day, that would be a start
I would not complain about my wounded heart

Just wait 'til tomorrow
I guess that's what they all say
Just before they fall apart

We're like crystal,
We break easy
I'm a poor man -
If you leave me
I'm applauded,
Then forgotten
It was Summer,
Now it's Autumn

I don't know what to say
You don't care anyway
I'm a man in a rage
with a girl I betrayed
Here comes love, it's like honey
you can't buy it with money
you're not alone anymore
shock me to the core
you shock me to the core

We're like crystal, it's not easy
With your love you can't beat me
Every man (Every man)
and every woman (And every woman)
Needs someone
So keep it comin', keep it comin', keep it comin'
keep it comin', keep it comin', keep it comin'

I don't know what to say
you don't care anyway
I'm a man in a ditch
with a girl I betrayed
here comes love, it's like honey
you can't buy it with money
you're not alone anymore
shock me to the core
you shock me to the core

I don't know if I told you
But I'm seeking sanctuary
You'd never guess the things that I do
I've had the devil around for tea

Don't you know that I'm here beside you?
Can't you see that I can't relax?
When I saw you in my rear view
You could have stopped me in my tracks

I'll be there for you when you want me to
I'll stand by your side like I always do
In the dead of night it'll be alright
Because I'll be there for you when you want me to

You could take me to an island
Ride across a stormy sea
We could worship pagan idols
There together you and me

Why don't you run over here and rescue me?
You could drive down in your car
Why don't we both take a ride and turn that key
We'll drive at sixty miles an hour

I'll be there for you when you want me to
I'll stand by your side like I always do
In the dead of night it'll be alright
Because I'll be there for you when you want me to

I'll be there for you when you want me to
I'll stand by your side like I always do
In the dead of night it'll be alright
Because I'll be there for you when you want me to

I'll be there for you when you want me to
I'll stand by your side like I always do
In the dead of night it'll be alright
Because I'll be there for you when you want me to
