Biography

Originally comprising Raine Maida (b. Michael Raine Maida; vocals), Mike Turner (guitar), Chris Eacrett (bass) and Jeremy Taggart (drums), Our Lady Peace were formed in Toronto, Canada, in 1992. The band took their unusual name from a 1943 poem by American poet Mark Van Doren. The unusual, eclectic nature of the band's music is as much a result of their varied experiences as their musical influences. Maida was a former criminology student at the University of Toronto, while English graduate Turner grew up in Bradford, England during the punk explosion. Eacrett was studying marketing at Ryerson University in Toronto when he made initial contact with founding members Maida and Turner, who then recruited 17 year old drummer Taggart. After meeting local producer Arnold Lanni they set about recording their first demos, which immediately attracted the attention of Sony Music Canada. The band's debut album, Naveed , took its title from "the ancient Middle Eastern name for bearer of good news", and featured the popular radio hit "Starseed". The songwriting, which was undertaken before their stage debut, evolved out of a communal musical approach, with Maida supplying lyrics. Duncan Coutts replaced Eacrett shortly after the release of the album. Clumsy was a strong follow-up, showcasing a more mature songwriting approach which was rewarded with worldwide sales of over two million. A remixed version of "Starseed" was featured on the following year's Armageddon soundtrack. The band's third album, Happiness ... Is Not A Fish That You Can Catch, was recorded with Lanni at Toronto's Arnyard Studios. Their excellent fourth outing, which drew inspiration from Ray Kurzweil's book about artificial intelligence, revealed a new creative maturity. Steve Mazur replaced Turner for the recording of Gravity.

Lyrics: A-H

4AM

I walked around my good intentions and found that there were none. I blamed my
father for the wasted years, we hardly talked. I never thought I would forget
this hate, then a phone call made me realise: I'm wrong

And if i dont make it known that, I've loved you all along, just like sunny
days that we all ignore because were all dumb and jaded. and I hope to God I
figure out whats wrong.

I walked around my room, not thinking - sinkin in this box. I blame myself for
being too much like somebody else. I never thought i would just bend ths way,
then a phone call made me realise I'm wrong.

And if i dont make it known that, I've loved you all along, just like sunny
days that we all ignore because were all dumb and jaded. and I hope to God I
figure out whats wrong.

And I hope to God I figure out whats wrong....
And I hope to God I figure out whats wrong....

If i dont make it known that, I've loved you all along, just like sunny days
that we all ignore because were all dumb and jaded. and I hope to God I figure
out whats wrong.

And if i dont make it known that, I've loved you all along, just like sunny
days that we all ignore because were all dumb and jaded. and I hope to God I
figure out...

A Story About A Girl

(Story about a girl)
(Story about the world)

Suddenly something I'm not
You're something that you bought
Was it something I said, my friend
A little girl are you tripping on this
Are you tripping all over it
You better come up for air

Story about a girl
My
Story about the world
My

And are you waking up slowly
You're nothing but lonely
Are you waking up holding
Holding your breath
And are you looking for something
I promised you one thing
I promise I'll always
Always be
There

Baby girl, stand up and fight
This is not some paradise
Oh it's just where we live
And finally you think you're alright
And that it eats you up alive
You better get used to it

Story about a girl
My
Story about the world
My

And are you waking up slowly
You're nothing but lonely
Are you waking up holding
Holding your breath
And are you looking for something
I promised you one thing
I promise I'll always
Always be there

With all my faith
And all my heart
And all those simple things you are

I know
It's stuck inside your head
You're alone
You better get used to it
And I know
The feeling has to end
You're strong
It sucks you in again
And you're lost
You can't make any sense
This world
It tears you limb from limb
And hold on
You're nothing but the best

And are you waking up slowly
You're nothing but lonely
Are you waking up holding
Holding your breath
Are you looking for something
I promised you one thing
I promise I'll always
Always be there

With all my faith
And all my heart
And all those simple things you are

With all my faith
And all my heart
And all those simple things you are

All For You

A suburban man at my door
But I don’t think I’ll let him in
He wants discipline
Discipline, control over the way I live
Wants the best for me
An old school philosophy
But I can’t turn my back on him
He’s a part of me
Buy me anything but I just need a friend

It’s all for you
You got me where you want
It’s all for you, oh
Just stop breaking my heart
You’re the blood of a seed and its all that I need
Got me where you want
It’s all for you, oh
You got me, oh, you got me

Jack Kerouac K-K-K-Kerouac
On the road and in my head
And the irrelevance, intelligence
A new tattoo a lot more sex
Broken families
A new enemy
And you will not make up for this
This suburban man he wants discipline
But I just need a friend

It’s all for you
You got me where you want
It’s all for you
Just stop breaking my heart
You’re the blood of a seed and its all that I need
Got me where you want
It’s all for you
You got me, oh, you got me where you want

Leave me alone
Oh, leave me alone

So never run
You got me where you want
All for you, stop breaking my heart

Youuuuuuuuuu
You got me where you want
Its all for you, oh
Stop breaking my, stop breaking my heart
You’re the blood of a seed and its that I need
Got me where you want
Its all for you, oh
Cause you got me, oh, you got me where you want
It’s all for you
Oh Just stop breaking my, stop breaking my heart
It’s all for you, oh
Got me, got me where you want
It’s all for you
My heart
It’s all for you, oh
You got me oh, you got me where you want
Leave me alone

All My Friends

All my friends
Alone on a hill
They're just looking down
With violent minds out on loan
They're just not equipped

Insistence
We hope for the best
Were not making sense in silence
Wait for the day when you're better than...

In this silence, I'm not buying
You're not faking, you're not...
I guess we better hold on

Again this time
We won't understand again
I'm not waiting for some sense
This time, we won't understand again
I'm not waiting for

Still they sit
Alone on a hill
Their mechanical thoughts have left
The out on their own
They're not buying this

In this silence, I'm not buying
You're not faking, you're not...
I guess we better hold on

Again this time
We won't understand again
I'm not waiting for some sense
This time, we won't understand again
I'm not waiting for

Annie

You're a little bit shy
A little too quiet
You're the mixed up girl
That everybody leaves behind
A little bit weird
A little too bright
But you just might be
That little bomb at their side
They'll pull your hair
They'll leave you wide-eyed
But did anybody wonder
What Annie might have in mind
Oh, no

There's something in the way she explains to me
"Please be careful, i exist in someone else's head"
Oh, no
There's something in the way that she makes believe
Please be careful,
Annie dreams that everyone is dead

You're a little bit dry
A little uptight
You're the messed up girl
That every body tries to hide
You've had enough
They're too unkind
But did anyone consider
What Annie might have in mind
Oh, no...

Are You Sad?

Your life has been so hard
It's dried up angels can't keep guard
And I'm trying to reach your hand
But I'm on Fire
I never meant to fade...away away
Oh just stop pretending when they say your nothing

Are you sad?
Are you holding yourself?
Are you locked in your room?
You shouldn't be...

I'm drowing inside your head
Help me to answer
Help me to understand
Why is't been so long since we talked like friends
Oh, please forgive me
I'm just a man
Whose made mistakes
Oh just stop pretending when they say your nothing

Are you sad?
Are you holding yourself?
Are you locked in your room?
You shouldn't be..

Automatic Flowers

do do do do

and Sara thinks
she's died here once before
she's crazy
a pop-up book
of flowers from grade 4 are driving
her insane

no one knows why
she's sad tonight
no one can help her find

crying, crying,
she couldn't afford the view
crying, crying,
these automatic flowers won't do

do do, do do do, do do do, do do do do do

another brick
another window frames confusion
her garden blooms
but Sara can't see straight
she's drinking
herself blind

no one knows why
she's stares outside
no one can help her find

crying, crying,
she couldn't afford the view
crying, crying,
these automatic flowers won't do
these automatic flowers won't do

shed never admit it,
shed never consider it,
she always means better
shes wasting all her time

crying, crying,
she couldn't afford the view
crying, crying,
these automatic flowers won't do
these automatic flowers won't do
these automatic flowers, flowers, won't do, won't do, won't do

Big Dumb Rocket

I've never seen your breath before
but I'm disgusted by the thought of
waiting anymore
If I look up in your eyes
will you notice me or notice it or
fade into this accident

I don't want to find
the big dumb rocket on your mind
its mostly you & mostly me
and a tired gun that's not empty

I've never been this sad before
but I'm afended by my fingertips
and what they've done
if I look into your eyes
if it must be true you must believe
I've never held such violent things
I've never talked to God before tonight
but I'm disgusted by...

Blister

Blister

Lately I can't breathe
Waiting they're chasing me
No one listens but I'm OK with it

Only I wonder why
If only my hands weren't tied
The world's a blister
But I'm OK with it

(Don't touch me)

What if I was there?
And what if I was scared?
I'm waiting for...
They're at my door
But I'll be back again

Lonely, I'm wandering
Patrolling for enemies
No one listens but I'm ok with it

(Don't trust me)

What if I was there?
And what if I was scared?
I'm waiting for...
They're at my door
But I'll be back again

And I'll be back again

You wonder why
I don't know
You shout at me
Let me go
You wonder why
I don't know
You shout at me
Let me go

What if I was there? (don't trust me)
And what if I was scared? (don't trust me)
I'm waiting for...
They're at my door
But I'll be back again

And what if I was there? (don't trust me)
And what if I was scared? (don't trust me)
I'm waiting for...
They're at my door
But I'll be back again

I'm waiting for...
They're at my door...

Bring Back The Sun

A little white house
It's everything we've
Dreamed about
I wanted you to know
I'm hanging out my ego

We shouldn't have to fight
Or worry about the bills tonight
I wanted you to know
I want to be your shadow

The mystery's gone
So bring back the sun
We'll bury this hate
And build it with love
(x2)

The grass wasn't greener I found
I wanted you to know
I dug you up a rainbow

The mystery's gone
So bring back the sun
We'll bury this hate
And build it with love
(x2)

I know, I know I failed you
I hope, I hope we get to
Sunny days again
(x2)

The mystery's gone
So bring back the sun
We'll bury this hate
And build it with love

The mystery's gone
So bring back the sun
We'll bury this hate
And build it with love

The mystery's gone
The mystery's gone
The mystery's gone
The mystery's gone

Bring back the sun
Bury this hate
Build it with love
Little white house

Car Crash

tired & jaded
this road is unsafe
have you been there
but time is on your side
you're too stubborn to wait
are you listening
they want you to know
they want you to stay
but its too much to take
so you're running away

it's more than I can bear

car crash
ending your day
at the side of the road
are you trembling
they'll wake up today
to the papers that say
"oh well" it was too hard to tell
he was swerving they were swerving
much too late

Carnival

You know you're not a strong man
and you're just about to cry
hang on it's all right
you worry about the future
the sign said "Yoga class for cats"
it's okay...

the dynamite is waiting
they bankrupted the sky

you're frustrated by the cracks in
the pavement
and every mother's back...
once again
the carnival closed down
but if this world ever turns around
you'll be there
when everyone is sane you'll be there

Clumsy

Throw away the radio
Suitcase keeps you awake
Hide the telephone, the telephone
Telephone, in case you relalize
That some days your just not ok
You'll level off, you'll level off, you'll level off
And its not alright now
You need to understand
Theres nothing strange about this
You need to know your friends
You need to know that

I'll be waving my hand
Watching you drown
Watching you scream
Quiet or loud

And maybe you should sleep
And maybe you just need, a friend
As clumsy as you've been
Theres no one laughing
You will be safe in here
You will be safe in here

Throw away this very old shoelace
It tripped you again
Try and shrug it off, shrug it off, shrug it off
Its only skin
Now you need to understand
Theres nothing fake about this
You need to let me in

Watching you and
I'll be waving my hand
Watching you drown
Watching you scream
No ones around

And maybe you should sleep
And maybe you just need, a friend
As clumsy as you've been
Theres no one laughing
You will be safe in here
You will be safe in

I will be waving my hand
Watching you drown
Watching you scream
Quiet or loud

And maybe you should sleep
And maybe you just need, a friend
As clumsy as you've been
Theres no one laughing
You will be safe in here
You will be safe in here
Well you will be safe in here
In here
In here
In here
In here
In here
In here

Consequence Of Laughing

Take all your pills and divide them
By color & size
Take all your problems and advise them
That everything's fine
Since you ran away you've been beating
Your habits to death
But if you were to stay would you feed them
This white happiness

Nobody wants to harm you
When you're outside
But it's hard to believe
When everyone's killing time
Somebody knows
That you're not laughing

Take all your pills and divide them
By number and might
Take all your problems chastise them
Because everything's fine
Since you've ran away you've been beating
Those ladders instead
But if you were to stay would you feed them
With violence

Dear Prudence

Dear Prudence, won't you come out to play
dear Prudence greet the brand new day
the sun is up the sky is blue
it's beautiful and so are you
dear Prudence won't you come out to play

Dear Prudence open up you eyes
dear Prudence see the sunny skies
the wind is low the birds will wing
that you are a part of everything
dear Prudence won't you open up your eyes?

Look around around
look around round round
look around

Dear Prudence let me see you smiles
dear Prudence like a little child
the clouds will be a daisy chain
so let me see you smile again
dear Prudence won't you let me see you smile?

Denied

the telephone is ringing, disconnect the line
the tension is building but I'm alright
the stars are colliding, so you might as well let me go

the television is burning because I set it on fire
the wheels they keep turning, but i'm fine
what about the questions we have locked up inside

somewhere, somehow
we've been denied
hand in hand we walk behind pretending,
defending while our souls are tied

It's only the third hour, my conscience subsides
But something reminds me that you lied
What about the consequences?
This can't be right

Dirty Walls

so you feel that stain of dried up discussions without weight
It's that feeling you will not have to destroy
It's that feeling that you will not have to ignore

the dirty walls

So you've been plagued, but is everything okay
I cannot bear the shallow words they throw
It's that feeling that you will not have to employ
it's that feeling that you will not ...
it's got to go

this conversation is going nowhere
it's transparent as fuck
this conversation must be over
because all I see is mud

Do You Like It

I crawled out from the pain of yesterday
I crawled to you and
I said all the things that you said to say
Have I said enough

Do you like it yeah e yeah
Do you like it yeah e yeah

I know why you're playin' these dirty games
They're killing me and
I know how you love to watch me beg
Well here I am

Do you like it yeah e yeah
And do you like it yeah e yeah
And do you like it yeah e yeah, yeah e yeah, yeah e yeah

I don't wanna be a puppet for you
Don't wanna bite the hand that's feeding
I don't wanna be a sucker for you, oh yes you
I hate myself for begging
I hate myself for staying
I hate myself for listening to,
You, you, you, you, you

It's too little too late
Well I can't escape
So beggin' you please
I changed all the things that you told me to change
I'm on my knees

Do you like it yeah e yeah
And do you like it yeah e yeah
And do you like it yeah e yeah, yeah e yeah, yeah e yeah

I don't wanna be a puppet for you
Don't wanna bite the hand that's feeding
I don't wanna be a sucker for you, ah yes you
I hate myself for begging
I hate myself for staying
I hate myself for listening to you

I just wanna get out
Stuck inside of this
Waiting for something else
Waiting to exist
Can you offer me help
Help from what I missed, I missed, I

Do you like it yeah e yeah
Do you like it yeah e yeah
Do you like it yeah e yeah, yeah e yeah, yeah e yeah

I don't wanna be a puppet for you
Don't wanna bite the hand that's feeding
I don't wanna be a sucker for you, ah yes you
I hate myself for begging
I hate myself for staying
I hate myself for listening to you oh I

For listening to you oh I
For listening to you oh I
For listening to you oh

Eternal Life

eternal life is now on my trail
got my red glitter coffin, man, just need one last nail
while all these ugly gentlemen play out their foolish games
there's a flaming red horizon that screams our names
and as your fantasies are broken in two
did you really think this bloody road would
pave the way for you?
you better turn around
and blow your kiss hello to life eternal, angel
racist everyman, what have you done?
man, you've made a killer of your unborn son...
crown my fear your king at the point of a gun
all i want to do is love everyone...
and as your fantasies are broken in two
did you really think this bloody road would
pave the way for you?
you better turn around
and blow your kiss hello to life eternal....
there's no time for hatred, only questions
what is love, where is happiness, what is life, where is peace?
when will I find the strength to bring me release?
and tell me where is the love in what your prophet has said?
man, it sounds to me just like a prison for the walking dead
and i've get a message for you and your twisted hell
you better turn around
and blow your kiss goodbye to life eternal, angel...

Everyone's A Junkie

I'm not waiting for the answers
On a Sunday afternoon
I'm just too drunk to remember
Why I always slip through

The drugs and fake ambition
Have been helping me to hide
But it's the endless television
That has kept me inside

Where does it stop?
Where does it end?
Where do we go?
Why am I always complaining?

I can be good
I can be bad
I can be loved

But everything's gone black
You're looking for that sun
You're looking for that light
Lonely, you're not the only one to feel this way

Black, you're looking for that sun
You're looking for that light
Lonely, you're not the only one to feel this way

Big green monkey, everyone's a junkie

I'm not asking for forgiveness
For the things that I don't know
But I'm really not that different
You just made me think so

Where does it stop?
Where does it end?
Where do we go?
Why am I always complaining?

I can be good
I can be bad
I can be loved

But everything's gone black
You're looking for that sun
You're looking for that light
Lonely, you're not the only one to feel this way

Black, you're looking for that sun
You're looking for that light
Lonely, you're not the only one to feel this way

Big green monkey, everyone's a junkie

Big green monkey, everyone's a junkie..
Big green monkey, everyone's a junkie..
Big green monkey, everyone's a junkie
Big green monkey, everyone's a junkie
You're the big green monkey, everone's a junkie

Black
You're looking for that sun
You're looking for that light
Lonely, you're not the only one to feel this way

Black, you're looking for that sun
You're looking for that light
Lonely, you're not the only one to feel this way
And I'll remember this someday

Black, you're looking for that sun
You're looking for that light
Lonely, you're not the only one to feel this way

Black, you're looking for that sun
You're looking for that light
Lonely, you're not the only one to feel this way

Big green monkey, everyone's a junkie

Happiness & The Fish

I confess
Everyone is overweight
And I'm obsessed
Talking is just masturbating
Without the mess
Addiction leaves you sad today
& unimpressed
I can't remember all the names because
Everyone you meet today
Is just so fucking vain

Bored again by happiness
All those friends I've (die) lost in there

I'm upset
Happiness is not a fish
That you can catch
Imagination can't resist
This laziness
That pins you down, get on your knees
Everyone you meet today
Is feeling useless & ashamed

Hello Oskar

over there well he's wondering
is Oskar there is Oskar all right
was never cool not allowed to fit
he never knew what he liked

over there he's the rubberman
a rubber dress with Betty Page eyes
was never cool he'll never settle down
he's not allowed to drive
he'll build a bridge then walk around
don't ever call him dumb
he's not that bright
he's just not himself

I will take you somewhere
somewhere to unwind
you're tangled up in all this shit
I will make you mine

theres nothing wrong hes a superstar
a taxi man and a young Eisenstein
was never cool, he'll never sette down
he's not allowed to drive
he'll build a bridge then walk around
leave that boy alone
hes not that bright
hes not uptight
and hes not him not himself

and i will take u somewhere
somewhere to unwind
you're tangled up in all this shit
and i will make you mine
and i will make you mine

and i can take u somewhere
somewhere to unwind
ur tangled up in all this shit
and i will make you mine
and i will make you mine
and i will make you mine

Hope

Hope climbs atop of the piano
reaching out towards the warmth of the sun
some man tries to ask her down
but now maybe that's where she belongs

my god she said,
i'm the sunflower who wants
my god he said,
this woman is gone
into the dark
is there anybody there
my god she said

he climbed up top to find that she was slipping
Let her go, let her go, let me go
how long must we leave before we're winning
they don't know, they don't know they just don't know
If she can't be there I know it's best that
nothing is denied
If she can't be there it's best that
everyone change sides

Lyrics: I-Sh

If You Believe

So, you've made up your mind
You're tired of trying
Time to be scared
And you wanted to fly
You can't close your eyes
Time to beware

But if you believe in the world I'm calling
And if you belong in the world I saw
And if you believe in the world I'm calling
You'll be strong

So you wasted your time
You willed it goodbye
Time to be scared
You thought you could buy
Your last piece of mind
Time to beware

But if you believe in the world I'm calling
And if you belong in the world I saw
And if you believe in the world I'm calling
You'll be strong

But if you believe in the world I'm calling
And if you belong in the world I saw
And if you believe in the world I'm calling
You'll be strong

In Repair

Well it's good to know that you'll be okay
I've been waiting for this
And i'll be there to sit while you pray
No one's blaming me
I'm not supposed to wait
when they open up your heart

(Chorus)
Oh I, I have been good
I understood
Like a machine I'll fix you from the start
I'm in repair
Life that we share
I know that i'll be lost and
But we're always in repair.

Lock the door (6X)

And it's good to know that you'll drive away
from this car crash nightmare
and i'll be there to help you again
there's no danger
we're just killing time again
when they order up new parts

chorus

take this time to figure it out
the wise, the views the things that you doubt
the air, the earth the metal the mouth
the something, something, something

chorus (2X)

Lock the door (til fades away)

Innocent

Oh, Johnny wishes he was famous
Spends his time alone in the basement
With Lennon and Cobain A guitar and a stereo

while he wishes he could escape this
it all seems so contagious
Not to be yourself and faceless
In a song that has no soul

I remember feeling low
I remember losing hope
And I remember all the feelings and the day they stopped

We are, we are all innocent
We are all innocent
We are, we are...

We are, we are all innocent
We are all innocent
We are, we are...

Tina's losing faith in what she knows
Hates her music hates all of her clothes
Thinks of surgery and a new nose
Every calorie is a war

And while she wishes she was a dancer
And that she's never heard of cancer
She wishes God would give her some answers
And make her feel beautiful

I remember feeling low
I remember losing hope
I remember all the feelings and the day they stopped

We are, we are all innocent
We are all innocent
We are, we are...

We are, we are all innocent
We are all innocent
We are, we are...

One day, you'll have to let it go
You'll have to let it go
No...
One day, you'll stand up on your own
You'll stand up on your own

Remember losing hope
Remember feeling low
Remember all the feelings and the day they stopped

We are, we are all innocent
We are all innocent
We are, we are...

We are, we are all innocent
We are all innocent
We are, we are...

We are (one day), we are all innocent
We are all innocent (you'll have to let it go)
We are, we are (you'll have to let it go, no..)

We are (one day), we are all innocent
We are, we are (you'll stand up on your own)
We are, we are all innocent (you'll stand up on your own..)

We are, we are all innocent

Is Anybody Home?

Goodbye, the future's sold out
There's no use screaming
Who thought we'd ever get this far

Tonight, your faith has come down
To money and a tv
Psychics who've never been to mars and
Nazis breast feeding
I know you must be upset
I can't find meaning
I'm sorry, we're sorry
We're all scared, all scared

Hey, is anybody home
Has anybody wasted tears on
loneliness that everyone...

Goodnight, the truth has come out
That everyone's needy
White teeth, a ticket to meet God and
Be all that you envy
Shotgun under your bed
Has started breathing
You shot it, you shot it
I'm bare, i'm bare

Hey, is anybody home
Has anybody wasted tears on
loneliness that everyone becomes

Is anybody low
Has anybody painted fear on
Bedroom walls that save us from...

And hey, is anybody home
Has anybody wasted tears on
loneliness that everyone becomes
when they're not alright

Hey, is anybody home
Has anybody wasted tears on
loneliness that everyone becomes

Is anybody low
Has anybody painted fear on
The bedroom walls that everyone
Becomes(X6)....
The loneliness that everyone becomes....

Is It Safe

time can't fix it fast enough,
so we won't notice what it was that went wrong
I saw something there much too familiar
a butterfly with a broken wing
she's fallen under, she's past the end,
communication is down again
the scars have healed but they're back again
we've got to believe this man must bend
because if you could you'd try and destroy her
and there we would be with nothing at all

Is it safe to be a man
when your tired and lonely
only the confident know where to stand

Is it safe to be man
when the world is loaded with thousands
that can't figure out just what they did
time can't fix it fast enough,
so we won't measure just how far below you kept pushing her
you'll have to pay back all of the years that you stole
she's walking backwards,
she's spun around her ears are ringing loud,
how does it feel, does it make you mad?
she's on her knees
please understand how obvious it is
that this man must bend

Julia

can you see her standing there trying to find anywhere
there are flowers in her hand but she doesn't know why
offered is advice to you but all you do is fake it

mother, she's only yours tonight and she never cries mother,
I know there is hurt inside Julia

drowning in her own visions,
she's begging the past to stay behind
there's a black cat in the night,
there's a black cat in that sky
offered is advice to you, you left but I don't blame you

we're digging up the past to bury it one last time
I know there's pain inside that truth
but you just have to face it

Let You Down

hey what do you see
its not me not me
why won't you share
it's not fair
there's a bicycle show
where the bicycle's float
and I wouldn't of cared

I won't be the one who bothers you
I won't be the one who lets you down

now that you're there
you're not scared
why would you care
it's your dream
not theirs
there's a cigarette thief
stealing cigarette disease
I wish I was there

Life

How many times have you been pushed around
was anybody there
does anybody care
and how many times have your friends let you down
was anybody there
did anybody stare

how many times have your friends let you down
just open up your heart
just open up your mind
and how many times has your faith slipped away
well is anybody safe
does anybody pray

oh life is waiting for you
its all messed up but we're alive
oh life is waiting for you
its all messed up but we'll survive

how many days have you just slept away
is everybody high
is everyone afraid
how many times have you wished you were strong
have they ever seen your heart
have they ever seen your pain

oh life is waiting for you
its all messed up but we're alive
oh life is waiting for you
its all messed up but we'll survive

she gets high
she gets lost
she gets drowned by the cost
twice a day
every week
in all her life

she gets high
she gets lost
she gets drowned by the cost
twice a day
every week
in all her life

oh life is waiting for you
its all messed up but we're alive
oh life is waiting for you
its all messed up but we'll survive

oh life is waiting for you
its all messed up but we're alive
oh life is waiting for you
its all messed up but we're alive
its all messed up but we'll survive
its all messed up but we're alive
its all messed up but i will
i will survive

Lying Awake

I'm here to wear you out
I'm here to watch you hide
Nothing to figure out
I'm here to watch you die
Running away from the breast of
Your busy giant healing machine

Nobody left in line
No-one to make you shine
Hanging on to the backs of opinions
You've borrowed & betrayed

Lying awake
Don't ask why you should pay for this
A mother
Another
A shameless abusing
But this time we're saving you

I'm here to break you down
I'm here to bury time
Nothing to talk about
Nothing to change my mind

Made Of Steel

I can be anything that you want me to be
A punching bag, a piece of string, oh
That reminds you not to think

I found the note down in your car
And its not your fault it gets this hard
Gets this hard

Hold your head high
Don't look down
I'm by your side
Won't back down
You wanted a hero tonight

Well I'm not made of steel
I'm not made of steel
But your secrets safe with me

I can be anything that you want me to be
A holy cross, some sympathy, oh
That reminds you not to bleed

I found the note down in your car
And you climbed up here to fall apart
Fall apart

Hold your head high
Don't look down
I'm by your side
Won't back down
You wanted a hero tonight

Well I'm not made of steel
I'm not made of steel
But your secrets safe with me

No...
Your secrets safe with me

They knock you down
I'll pick you up...
They laugh at you
I'll shut them up

But I'm not made of steel
But I'm not made of steel
But I'm not made of steel
But your secrets safe with me
Yeah
Your secrets safe with me
But yeah

Hold your head high
Don't look down
I'm by your side
Won't back down
You wanted a hero tonight

Made To Heal

I gave up on you.
And your exercise
And the world that I knew
Then, I fell back on you.
Cause I need more time
And I need an excuse

I'm a thief, a liar
An angel in the fire
I'm a king, a drug
The push that comes to shove
I'm a freak, a star
I'm everything you are
I'm your jesus, I'm your pride

We're made to heal..

I depend on you
For the wings of life
And the air that you move
And I defended you
For this one last time
For the nerves you abuse.

I'm a thief, a liar
An angel in the fire
I'm a king, a drug
The push that comes to shove
I'm a freak, a star
I'm everything you are
I'm your jesus, I'm your pride

We're made to heal..

Middle of Yesterday

You feel the love
You feel the past
It's all the things you thought you had

Oh, I woke up in hell today
I woke up depressed and drained
But that's ok cause
I promised not to hurt you again
Apparantly I'm to blame
But apparantly I've been framed
My memory that won't help me
When it's happening

Out of mind
Out of soul
Out of light
Out of control

Standing in the middle of yesterday
When it all went wrong
And we made mistakes
I'm sorry for the things I forgot to say
But it won't be long
And it will be ok

Oh, I promised you I would change
I'm an asshole, and I'm ashamed
And I'm upset 'cause I betrayed
Everything that you gave
Will you ever let me explain?
Can I beg you to let me stay?
Don't quit me cause
I'll never let this happen

Out of mind
Out of soul
Out of the mind
Of of control

Standing in the middle of yesterday
When it all went wrong
And we made mistakes
I'm sorry for the things I forgot to say
But it won't be long
And it will be ok

You feel the love
You feel the past
It's all the things you thought you had

You feel the love
You feel the past
It's all the things you thought you had

Standing in the middle of yesterday
When it all went wrong
And we made mistakes
I'm sorry for the things I forgot to say
But it won't be long
And it will be ok

Standing in the middle of yesterday
When it all went wrong
And we made mistakes
I'm sorry for the things I forgot to say
But it won't be long
And it will be ok

We'll make it up to you
Make it up to you
Make it up to you

Naveed

are you there, and is it comfortable?
did you want to escape, try to escape the population?
the pressure is deceiving,
and for you particularly should we let a young man die?

let him die if he wants to?
I can't live here anymore
it's hard when you reach for that floor and
and there's something that tears me inside, so I can't go

brother are you there?
now tell me is it wonderful
or were you hoping to find something a little more?

climbing down the hours I need to know now
do the hands of time only rule this chapter
i'll have to try once again, i'll have to try when I want to
there he's on his knees again
trying hard to understand
why Naveed would let a young man die
convinced that he might break he reaches for that phone
and then another day has gone

Needle and the Damage Done

Caught you knockin at my cellar door
love you baby can I have some more?
oh damage done

I hit the city and I lost my band
watched the needle take another man
gone gone the damage done

Ow, oh my my my

Sing the song because I love the man
know that some of you don't understanf
milk blood to keep from running out

I've seen the needle and the damage done
oh a little part of us in everyone
I've seen the needle and the damage done
a little part a little part
I've seen the needle

Oh I

I've seen the needle
seen the needle and the damage done
a little part of us in everyone
every junkie's like a setting sun.

Neon Crossing

all you people can feel it waiting
innocence and love, wrapped in the arms of the burning neon
I feel it, I feel it

it's so entertaining and so wonderful
it magically calls for you
big neon crossing show me the way
save my soul today

don't you worry and don't be afraid
does it send you to the world appealing
where there is spoken word that I can't take
so I'm the liar, I'm the liar

you'd be so disappointed
to find out that the magic was not
really meant for you

Not Enough

There's nothing you can say
Nothing you can do
There's nothing in between
You know the truth

Nothing left to face
There's nothing left to lose
Nothing takes your place

When they say
You're not that strong
You're not that weak
It's not your fault
And when you climb up to your hill
Up to your place
I hope you're well

There's nothing left to prove
There's nothing I won't do
There's nothing like the pain
I feel for you

Nothing left to hide
Nothing left to feel
I am always here

When they say
You're not that strong
You're not that weak
It's not your fault
And when you climb up to your hill
Up to your place
I hope you're well

What you want
What you lost
What you had
What is gone is over

What you got
What you love
What you need
What you have is real

It's not enough
It's not enough
It's not enough
It's not enough, I'm sorry

It's not enough
It's not enough
It's not enough
It's not enough...

When they say
You're not that strong
You're not that weak
It's not your fault
And when you climb up to your hill
Up to your place
I hope you're well

It's not enough
No
It's not enough
It's not enough

One Man Army

Take these plastic people
Read their lips, now let it linger
Is there anything that makes them sound sincere?
Tightly hold your hand
Take a deep breath, give them the finger
Are you worried
That your thoughts are not quite clear?
(Twitch)
Overlooked, unfit appearance

I remember falling
I remember marching
Like a one man army
Through the blaze
I remember coughing
I believe in something
I don’t want to remember falling
For their lies

Unbutton your clothes
Undress your soul, show them your vigor
Are those inhibitions easiest to fear?
Take this gasoline tin
Head up high , walk like a winner
Let the bare feet be the last sound that they hear

Out Of here

You don't understand and
you don't try and see
that white is too dull
we need the reds and the greens

You're big time now
on new york tv
a prime time fool
for everyone to see

Can't see a heaven
is the sky isn't clear
you can't change a mind
if it doesn't want to here

Chorus:
Will we ever get out of here?
lets stop and think awhile
another time & another place
where everyone smiles

You have the rights
or you seem to think
stopped dead in their tracks
other peoples dreams

All those ideas
questioned by doubt
i'm telling you man
you'd better get out

Can't stop the dance
if the song isn't done
you can't stop the change
outnumbered 100 to 1

Chorus

You don't understand
you don't try and see
you're in the cage and
we've got the key

Can't see the future 'til
its infront of you
but you can't escape it
the future brings the truth

Chorus x2

Potato Girl

We live, we die
I don't know the reasons we ask why
We hate, we push
Recent tests show we are all misunderstood

Something's seizing
You know you lost your mind
You know we all need saving
She found you late last night
You feel the madness gaining
You know you just can't win
You know this
But I'm just so tired of waking up on the ground
I never knew the girl
And I never knew the world hurt

We beg, we pray
But everything still happens anyway
Something's teasing
Your conscience can't decide
She stopped your will from caving
But left you paranoid

You feel the constant straining
She reappears divine
You noticed
But I'm just so tired of waking up all alone

Right Behind You (Mafia)

You haven't seen the world outside for days
You sleep, you hope, you wait
Imagination disappears and all the dreams
You have you save
Confrontation like a mirror
They try to take your mind away

Pre-Chorus:

Hey, hey
I don't know but I believe in yesterday
And what it means to bleed
And know that you're okay
Are you waiting?

Chorus:

No matter what you say
No matter what you do
No matter what I'm always right there behind you

Chorus

Bombarded by the atmosphere
You breathe, you choke, you breathe again
Conversation disappears you realize they're not your friends
The panic of the future rears
You dig, you jerk, you find another way

R.K. 1949-97

In 1949 George Orwell portrays a chilling world in which computers are used by
large bureaucracies to monitor and enslave the population in his book 1984.
The year is 1976.
Kurzweil Computer Products introduces the Kurzweil Reading Machine.
The first printed speech reading machine for the blind.
In 1997, Deep Blue beats
Gary Kasparov, the world chess champion, in a regulation tournament.

R.K. 2029

The year is 2029.
The machines will convince us that they are conscious, that they
have their own agenda worthy of our respect.
They'll embody human qualities and
claim to be human, and we'll believe them

R.K. 2029 (pt. 2)

2029 there is a growing discussion about the legal rights of computers
and what constitutes being human

R.K. Intro

The age of spiritual machines.
Ten to fifteen billion years ago, the universe was born

R.K. On Death

Take death for example.
A great deal of our effort goes into avoiding it.
We make extraordinary efforts to delay it and often consider
its intrusion a tragic event.
Yet we'd find it hard to live without it.
Death gives meaning to our lives. It
gives importance and value to time.
Time would become meaningless if there were too much of it.
If death were indefinitely put off, the human psyche would end
up, well, like the gambler in the "Twilight Zone" episode.

Sell My Soul

how do you feel
how do you hate
how do you wake up with
the smile that's on your face
out on the moon
if i was an astronaut
could i get back to you
i'm out of my head
i'm out of excuses so i'm staring at
the bed, and it's you, it's you

i hold on, i hold on
i can't let go of you
i hold on, i hold on
i'd sell my soul for you

i'm losing my heart
i'm losing my pride
i'd burn our initials
in the sun if it would shine
i need a fresh start
cause i was in heaven until
this world fell apart
i'm out on the run
i'm out in this empty space
since all of this begun
well i tried, i tried

i hold on, i hold on
i can't let go of you
i hold on, i hold on
i'd sell my soul for you

Nothing seems to help
nothing seems to work
nothing is as beautiful
i'm old enough to take
all the blame
for all the mistakes
all the games and
all the faces
i'm bleeding by myself
but i'm okay

i hold on, i hold on
i can't let go of you
i hold on, i hold on
i'd sell my soul for you

Shaking

so you fucked this up again
it's time for you to leave
you never had many friends
and you thought this was all right
you're rushing to meditate
you should eat but probably wait
you never thought of yourself

why are you shaking
why are you right
when I will be the only one who gives
and lets you in tonight

walk you could never walk away
from this speedfreak collagen
caffinated place
you were always reaching in
looking for somewhere to go
nobody needs to find out
nobody needs to know what you know

so you wonder about the past
when you know that its already been
nothing seems to last
can it last will it last

Lyrics: S-Z

Somewhere Out There

Last time I talked to you,
you were lonely and out of place.

You were looking down on me,
lost out in space.

Laid underneath the stars,
strung out and feeling brave.

Watch the red orange glow,
watch them float away.

Down here in the atmosphere,
garbage and city lights,
you gotta save your tired soul,
you gotta save our lives.

Turn on the radio,
to find you on satellite,
I'm waiting for the sky to fall,
I'm waiting for a sign.

All we are is all so far.

You're falling back to me,
the star that I can't see.
I know you're out there,
somewhere out there.

You're falling out of reach,
defying gravity,
I know you're out there,
somewhere out there.

Hope you remember me,
when you're homesick and need a change.
I miss your purple hair,
I miss the way you taste.

I know you'll come back someday,
on a bed of nails I wait.
I'm praying that you don't burn out,
or fade away.

All we are is all so far

You're falling back to me,
the star that I can't see.
I know you're out there,
somewhere out there.

You're falling out of reach,
defying gravity,
I know you're out there,
somewhere out there.

You're falling back to me,
the star that I can't see.
I know you're out there, oh.
You're falling out of reach,
defying gravity....

I know you're out there,
somewhere out there.

You're falling back to me,
the star that I can't see.
I know you're out there,
somewhere out there.

You're falling out of reach,
defying gravity,
I know you're out there,
somewhere out there.

You're falling back to me.

Well I know,
I know.

You're falling out of reach.

I know...

Sorry

Today's a reason for living
Today's the blood from a stone
Today's a light from a candle
Helping us to find our way home

Today we carry each other
Today the past is a freak
Today's a time for forgiveness
You were never that good to me

(Welcome to this world of mine)

I'm sorry, I can't lie
I'm wasting too much time
Drowning I've been blind
But I've opened up my eyes
Sorry, I can't lie
So I just say goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Yeah

Today's tasting the honey
Today's the strike of a match
And today's the lines in the pavement
Helping us to find our way back
Today's the crosses we carry
Today's the strength that we need
And today's the hand of an angel
You were not the kind to believe

(Welcome to this world of mine)

I'm sorry, I can't lie
I'm wasting too much time
Drowning I've been blind
But I've opened up my eyes
Sorry, I can't lie
So I just say goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Yeah

Oh what a day, oh what a day, oh my God
Oh what a day, oh what a day, oh my God
Oh what a day, oh what a day, oh my God
And oh my God, and oh my God, yeah

Today we carry each other
Today we do what we should
Today's a time for forgiving
Today I wish I could...

I'm sorry, I can't lie
I'm wasting too much time
Drowning, I've been blind
But I've opened up my eyes
Sorry, I can't lie
So I just say goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Another bye, goodbye, goodbye
Another bye, goodbye, goodbye, yeah
Another bye, goodbye, goodbye
Another bye, goodbye, bye

Starseed

i let go of the world that was holding
a passenger that could not fly
in search of souls
souls in search of something
let it go
let it slide

when i find out what went on
i'll bring it back
it won't be easy
they won't believe how a man
he could drown
in a starseed

i hoped to find why this world wasn't glowing
glowing it darkens as we end this ride
i've fallen back under the equator
I'm back inside I'm back inside

when i find out what went on
i'll bring it back but it won't be easy
they won't believe the man he could
but i'd choose starseed over nothing
nothing

Stealing Babies (Featuring Elvin Jones)

I'm teething on answers you're saving
How are you going to make me sleep again?
Well I'm dreaming you're stealing babies
When you gonna make me understand?
Why?
How should I say "I'm so sorry!"?
How should I pray, to know that we're alive?

Eve stands alone
By the knock on the door
By the thin in her bones
She's courageous and loving
Exhausted and cold
She's not ready to go
So the ghost on the phone
Helps her safely into her dream

You're leaving pieces of family
How you gonna help them understand?
Well I'm screaming
You're stealing babies
Why you wanna knock us down again?
Why?
How should I say "I'm so sorry!"
How should we pray, to make us feel alive?

Eve stands alone
By the knock
On the door
By the thin in her bones
She's courageous and loving
Exhausted and cold
She's not ready to go
So the ghost on the phone
Helps her safely into her dream

It must be our egos
It must be my lack
I pray that it might not come back

It must be our egos
It must be my lack
I pray that it might not come back

I've been weighed down again
I'm weighed down again

I've been weighed down again
I'm weighed down...
Weighed down...
Weighed down...
Down...
Down...
Down...

Superman's Dead

Do you worry that you're not liked
How long till you break
You're happy cause you smile
But how much can you fake
An ordinary boy, an ordinary name
But ordinary's just not good enough today

Now ah-ooo how ah-ooo how ah-ooo
Now ah-ooo how ah-ooo how ah-ooo
Alone..alone...alone...

I....Worry about the weather
Whether you can or can not hate

Now you worried about your faith
Kneel down and obey
You're happy you're in love
You need someone to hate
An ordinary girl, an ordinary waist
But ordinary's just not good enough today

Alone..alone...alone...

alone...alone...alone...alone..alone!
I'm thinking why-e-i-e-i-e yea!

superman's dead
e-i-e-i-e yea! is it in my head
e-i-e-i-e yea! we'll just laugh instead
I....Worry about the weather

That the world's a subway, subway

Supersatellite

i've read the bible, i've read Dylan,
i'm reading people now
because it is much more chilling
i sit on a satellite
with the stars made of gold
there's life through that hollow lens

i know supersatellite
i watch the traffic,
i find the seeds

there's one man in particular
who's not what he seems
i can't focus in
on the lies in his head
he's convinced that his blood is blue
but it's red

supersatellite

nothing dazzles me,
i am in his dreams
nothing is shocking,
transparent human being

The Birdman

hopelessly a man starts to feed your day
once he was there you never looked back
how did you think that his words might just fade away
he seemed harmless enough so you let him in and now you'll pay

i can't see him but he's stalking my thoughts
how does it feel when you can't concentrate?
i just stare
all of your daydreams are a seesaw for him to play on

how does it feel when he calls your name
you can plug your ears but it's not the same
how does it feel when he pulls you back

nobody's wrong nobody's right the birdman wouldn't lie
nobody's wrong nobody's right but i just can't trust him tonight

how do you forget a stranger that plagues your days
we arm ourselves when there's nothing to fear right?
wrong

how does it feel when it comes to pass there's something there
but it's not quite right
how does it feel, does it make you mad?

The Story Of 100 Aisles

help yourself
if you know why you came
cause if you need help she says...
there's something I've got saved
this is not what you wanted
these candy coated fakes
this is not what you wanted
this is pain

anacin, we're stumbling again
it's the story of a hundred aisles

walk away from simple on a tray
cause if you need help she says
these fancy pills don't rate
this is not what you wanted
a miracle today

time is not for sale today
time seems so far away
you need more than this
depressed come here try this

The Wonderful Future

She builds her own satellite
From an old rusted chair
She leaves this old world behind
And the things that she cares

Maybe she's gone
But it won't be for long
What do I know?
Maybe she's found
What we all dream about
What do I know?

She's beautiful and wonderful
I can't compare
It's not that fair

She builds a strong alibi
From the future that's here
She needs to know I'm alive
And that I'm flesh and I tear

Maybe she's wrong
But I won't mind my own
What do I know?
And their silicone
With a touch of her soul
What do I know?

She's beautiful and wonderful
I can't compare
It's not that fair

Thief

From the album "Happiness...Is Not A Fish That You Can Catch"

I don't wanna understand this horror
there's a weight in your eyes i can't admit
everybody ends up here in bottles
but the name tags are the last thing you wanted
as the world explodes you fall out of it
and you can't let go because this
will not go away.....
there's a house built out in space

and can't see the thief that lives inside of your head
but i can be some courage at the side of your bed
and i don't know what's happening and i can't pretend
but i can be all, be all

someone help us understand who ordered
this disgusting arrangement of time and the end
i don't wanna hear who walked on water
cause the hallways are empty, clocks tick
as the world implodes we fall in to it
and we cant go home because this
will not go away.....
there's a house built out in space

and i cant see the thief that lives inside your head
but i can be some courage at the side of your bed
and i don't know what's happening and i can't pretend
it's a long, long get away, it's a long, long get away
make it home again, make it home again
it's a long, long get away, it's a long, long get away

and i cant see the thief that lives inside your head
but i can be some courage at the side of your bed
and i don't know what's happening and i can't pretend
but i can be all, be all i'm here
but i can be all, be all i'm here
it's a long, long get away

Tomorrow Never Knows

listen to the colour of your dreams...
turn off your mind, relax and float downstream
then it's not dying, then it's not dying
lay down all thoughts, surrender to the void
and it is shining, it is shining
now you may see the meaning of within
it is being, it is being
love is all, love is everyone
and it is knowing, andit is knowing
let ignorance and hate mingle with dead
it is believing, it is believing
oh play the game, existence to the end
of the beginning, of the beginning
of the beginning, beginning
turn off your mind, relax and float downstream
it is not dying, it is not dying
play the game, existence to the end
of the beginning, of the beginning
of the beginning, of the beginning,
lay down all thoughts, surrender to the void
of the beginning, of the beginning, of the beginning

Trapeze

Can't believe she fell
the silence was unnerving
the crowds began to yell
was the thought of her returning

So you never knew him well
but you know what you've been seeing
these images of guilt
and the concrete in her hair

So far these lions need taming
it's very sad very sad
no no
for this cannonball this cannonball

As desperate as you felt
were you strong enough to leave him
oh you need to know him well
he's an angry acrobat

So you struggle with the will
with the will that you've been seeing
these images of guilt
and the concrete in her hair

So far these lions need taming
it's very sad very sad
no no
for this cannonball this cannonball.

Under Zenith

maybe they'll come back again maybe they're all gone
one day you'll find me sending their message strong
under your feet the city falls down so far the ground is sky

we're under zenith again,
it's healthy if not for long
leave a little room for us to breathe

much more than seven days and you've slipped to deep
much stronger than sympathy, let your best friend pull back that
leash
sitting by a frozen man, someone somewhere has to cry

were under zenith again let the cycle run we won't die
leave a little room for us to breathe

I love how you let me fall
under but not to far
I love how you let me fall
only now I see where we are
hold me

Waited

Hit the ground
Weighed down again
You walked out
But I'm sure you're my friend

It must have been good
This can't be for good
Everyone's....
Is everyone OK

I waited
But I must be too dumb to be proud
Because I waited, I waited

Woke to sounds
I prayed you were there
I fell back down
But I'm sure you still care

Whatever

There's no holding me back,
I'm not driven by fear, I'm just driven by anger.
And you're under attack,
I'm just climbing up slowly, I'm the one and onlY, I...

The tease, the ways, the lie,
Stumble in your mind.
The fear, the hope inside,
They hit here.

{Chorus}{2X}
But whatever you need, ever you got, ever you want,
i'll take back again.

There's no holding me back,
I'm not driven by fear, I'm just driven by anger.
And you're under attack,
I'm just climbing up slowly, I'm the one and only, I...

The tease, the ways, the lie,
Stumble in your mind.
The fear, the hope inside,
They hit here.

{Chorus}{2X}
But whatever you need, ever you got...

{Chorus}{3X}
But whatever you need, ever you got...

{2X}
Whatever you...
Whatever you want
