Warriors

Gary Numan Warriors Lyrics
1.Warriors

I fall
Down
No control somehow

No help
Now
My favour slides

No one comes
Here
Now i'm feeding strangers

Thin air
Like cold death
Here in my heart

I fell for so long for you all
I fell for so long for you
I fell for so long for you

Come in
I'm the ghost
Of the white faced clown

She's gone
Gone. i won't look back
She's gone

I'm old
So old
This infection of time

My skin
Age
Shows no kindness to me

I fell for so long for you all
I fell for so long for you
I fell for so long for you


2.The Iceman Comes

The iceman comes
Someone is out there
They'll wait and won't make mistakes

The iceman comes
My head runs empty
Oh i've got the fear

The iceman comes for me.

The iceman comes
Blow dust off your stories
I could give in

The iceman comes
I'll send, you'll take
Is this such dark business?

The iceman comes for me.


3.My Centurion

Somewhere in
Dark corners
I know
Something is wrong.

No fear
No talking
Just this long wait for pain

Scream scream
We're going down
My centurion dies

All i can do now is wait for the noise

I'm so helpless and
I could just cry inside
'no! no!'

Oh god
Look at the speed
We're going in

So this
Is death and
It's so
Calm i'm surprised

All i can do now is wait for noise

This machine
No sign of life
Only the whisper of air

She won't turn
She won't climb
She won't stop
She won't fly

I'm falling
I'm silent
I'm thinking
I'm waiting for this thing to end.

All i can do now is wait for the noise.


4.The Tick Tock Man

Look at your face
It's so fortunately arranged
Don't look back
I can assure you that you won't like what you see

You step on my dreams
I could whisper
You intrude on me
I could whisper
You close in and i'm so uneasy

Hotel rooms, sweet dreams
Like slot machines that call it 'love love'
A coin in the hole
You young things never stay young for longe

This edge in my voice
But there's really nothing much to say
My conscience mends
I suppose it all meant something to you.

You step on my dreams
I could whisper
You intrude on me
I could whisper
You close in and i'm so uneasy


5.I Am Render

I'm up here
Youre down there
Call me the baitman
I'm screaming for air
Colour me black
If you wish, but
I don't believe
I don't believe
My god

I don't crash
Te sky moves
I'll shape you dreams
That a lifetime can't lose
I won't talk
I won't sing
They call me render
The shaper of things
Oh god

I'm not down
I'm not ashamed
Call it the job
If you need something to blame
Young reckless sleepers
Still screaming for air
I don't care
I don't care
Dear god


6.This Prison Moon

Keep your love songs
We've all heard
Keep your pictures
We've all seen
Keep your kind words
And keep your tears.
I'm only here
For a thousand years
Here on this prison moon.

Have you been here?
Have you ever been here?
If only the sun would shine tonight
If only the sun would shine

I vote for pleasure
I vote for sleep
I vote for power
That i can keep
I vote for words
That no-one hears
I'm only here
For a thousand years
Here on this prison moon.

Have you been here?
Have you ever been here?
If only the sun would shine tonight
If only the sun would shine


7.Sister Surprise

We are
Walking nostalgia
Like old movies for real
Look at me, look at you
Look at them, look at us

I'm young
Sell a slim body to the man next door
Sell a slim body to the man next door
Like my sister surprise

We'll wait for you

We are
The pleasure creation
Gone wrong. gone wrong.

We are
Walking ghost stories
No religion
No relief
No old wisdom
No belief
Sometimes i could scream

We'll wait for you


8.Love Is Like Clock Law

This heart is empty
I've barely hidden memories
I've found a picture that haunts me again

I've no sad expression
I've no tears in my eyes
But i am the clown who forgot how to laugh

I wonder, does she think of me?
I wonder, i wonder
I wonder, does she call my name?
I cried
Don't leave me here alone
I cried
Don't leave me, don't leave me

Love is like clock law
Tick tock my heartbeat
I was a passion that passed her spare time

This room is prison
Love doesn't come here
These quiet nights will slowly kill me

I wonder, does she think of me?
I wonder, i wonder
I wonder, does she call my name
I cried
Don't leave me here alone
I cried
Don't leave me here alone
I cried
Don't leave me, don't leave me
Don't leave me, don't leave me
I cried
Don't leave me, don't leave me here
I'm quite alone


9.The Rhythm Of The Evening

Love me
I'm cheap to rent
You could tell me
Of when you were young
Forgive and forget
The rhythm of the evening
Will tear us apart again

Talk talk
I only talk
'don't tell me lies'
Said the tick tock man
You're black
You're white
The rhythm of the evening
Will tear you apart again

Is this my mother?
Pieces of a picture
But i've seen them before
Look what
Love's done to me
The rhythm of the evening
Will tear me apart again

Let the wild
Come in
These boys of pleasure
Are nothing more than faggots
I'm not a
Man who laughs but
The rhythm of the evening
Will tear them apart again


10.My Car Slides

Version1
My car slides
My last words are:
'help. mother i'm...'

My car slides
I wait for cold
A fear of the dark

My car slides
And i pray to
Things i've not seen

Here am i
Sad and lonely
Here am i
Quite by chance i slide

My car slides
The radio plays
'heaven...' something

My car slides
This quiet night
Time plays slow tricks

My car slides
My clock runs down
Tick tock tick...

Here am i
Sad and lonely
Here am i
Quite by chance i slide

Version2
Now there's a girl outside my door
She's raw pink shame
She makes love as the machines play
Sound effects of mayhem
She disconnects my own heart at times
The cure comes next

Here am i
Sad and lonely
Here am i
Quite by chance i slide

She has the problem of need
Not conversation
She can only whisper such things
Like 'i tear inside'
She's like a gangster in drag i knew
Skin like china.

Here am i
Sad and lonely
Here am i
Quite by chance i slide


11.Poetry And Power

This is nostalgia
And o.b. the hero
Fights for me
And you dear listener
You leave old memories
And such things disgust me
Storm the door
I must get out

Poetry and power ice and fire
This is poetry and power

You're worse than mirrors
Are you reflecting
I don't know
All this help leaves me cold
This is confusing me again
I must get out


12.Face To Face(Letters)

What's it like to be face to face with me?
Playing tricks with hearts quite as young as yours
Do you know what the reunion pays for you?
Do you feel like i'm supposed to do?

I could be love
I could be your assassin. i don't know

Pictures of my face dissappear with time
They gave boys to quite tasteless friends of mine
Re-arrange thoughts to 'what will be will be'
There is no god so pray to me


13.Cars

cars

Here in my car
I feel safest of all
I can lock all my doors
It's the only way to live
In cars

Here in my car
I can only receive
I can listen to you
It keeps me stable for ( nights )
- this is the only wrong word you put days
In cars

Here in my car
Where the image breaks down
Will you visit me please?
If i open my door
In cars

Here in my car
I know i've started to think
About leaving tonight
Although nothing seems right
In cars
