Joseph Arthur Nuclear Daydream Lyrics
1.Too Much To Hide

Lyrics:Joseph Arthur
Music:Joseph Arthur
Arranger:Joseph Arthur

The needle says she'll tell you when she's through
No sense now in trying to believe in you

Too much to hide
In your own two eyes
Too much to hide
In your own world

There's some you know you follow into doom
By yourself and in an empty room

Too much to hide
In your own two eyes
Too much to hide
In your own world

Dream you're gone
Dream you're gone, so far gone
(So far, oh)
Dream you're gone
Dream you're gone, so far gone
(So far, oh)
Dream you're gone
Dream you're gone, so far gone
(So far away)
Dream you're gone
Dream you're gone, so far gone
(So far away)

I'm down here and walking with you still
And part of me I guess always will

Too much to hide
In your own two eyes
Too much to hide
In your own world

Be here now


2.Black Lexus

Lyrics:Joseph Arthur
Music:Joseph Arthur
Arranger:Joseph Arthur

Your black Lexus has
Two hundred thousand miles
Underneath the missing roads

You don't know where you're going
Almost anytime
Things lost just lighten up your load

Maybe you're headin' out
To LA
See if they'll put you in a show

First you'll check with the stars
Read both your sign and mine
In the back of the New York Post

You can't find her
You can't find her
In the mirror everything's reversed
And you can't find her
You can't find her
Everyday you feel a little curse

Now your car's been towed
You misread the sign
Something left to do
Must have slipped your mind

Got no money left
Guess you'll stick around
And anyway the stars
Said not to go right now

But you can't find her
You can't find her
In the mirror everything's reversed
And you can't find her
You can't find her
Everyday you look a little worse

You can't find her
You can't find her
In the mirror everything's reversed
You can't find her
You can't find her
Everyday you feel a little curse

You can't find her
You can't find her
In the mirror everything's reversed
You can't find her
You can't find her
Everyday you feel a little curse


3.Enough To Get Away

Lyrics:Joseph Arthur
Music:Joseph Arthur
Arranger:Joseph Arthur

What's the difference from a Saturday night
Where the light spreads dark around the drunk hearts
In their headless hallways where bodies are
put on the market place
To happiness endlessly taking pills
With the young going down
I see nothing or nowhere
I know what I've found
Must be in paradise

Next year we will live in the country
With our money, by day the sky builds
Doing our laundry and renting us some random machines
Getting our religion and sex on the TV
Assumptions made simply to get away
Everyone old is already with me
On tiny decks enjoying midsummer weather and friendly company
And in their picture frames there you and I will be
Knowing what we've found

Enough to get away
Knowing what we've found
Enough to get away
Knowing what we've found
Enough to get away
Knowing what we've found
Enough to get away

Bright drops of blood so my thoughts are
I turn to lie down but sleep stays far
I'm just an echo of the song going through my head
The light behides the ghost
But I'm the one that's dead
And I think of who you be
When you're here with me
Maybe it's a spiritual disease
Sliding through shoots of oblivion into infinity
Back into our maker's hands
No more rain or controversy
Knowing what we've found

Enough to get away
Knowing what we've found
Enough to get away
Knowing what we've found
Enough to get away
Knowing what we've found
Enough to get away


4.Slide Away

Lyrics:Joseph Arthur
Music:Joseph Arthur
Arranger:Joseph Arthur

No matter what you want
Do or say
I hope you make it to
Better days
If you're a junkie heart
Be reborn
And every dime in bag
Leave your home

If they don't get to you
Get to me
We're gonna walk a path
Ever free
And stare into the sun
Till we're blind
Destroying every thought
In our mind

What you say counts
What you say counts
Till you fall down
Black as the night you crashed apart
Till every piece was gone

No matter where you live
Where you've been
You found an open road
And a friend
If you're a peaceful soul
Peace will come
So don't you hide away
What you've done

What you say counts
What you say counts
Till you fall down
Black as the night you crashed apart
Till every piece was gone

Slide away
Now won't you
Slide away
Now won't you
Slide away
I want you all the way
I want you

Slide away
Now won't you
Slide away
Now won't you
Slide away
I want you all the way
I want you

Slide away
Now won't you
Slide away
Now won't you
Slide away
I want you all the way
I want you

Slide away


5.Electrical Storm

Lyrics:Joseph Arthur
Music:Joseph Arthur
Arranger:Joseph Arthur

How do you live cold
Before you're young
You're so old

You're born and then you die
You're born and then you die
And you are born

Past the city and the thieves
Past the wolverines and trees
Until the sunrise
In the electrical storm

Last night with you
When we turned blue
I saw right through
When we turned blue

I can see you now
You are me
Anyhow

You're born and then you die
You're born and then you die
And you are born

Past the city and the thieves
Past the wolverines and trees
Until the sunrise
In the electrical storm

In the sunrise
In the sunrise
And we are born
In the electrical storm

In the sunrise
In the sunrise
And we are born
In the electrical storm

Last night with you
When we turned blue
Were you untrue
When we turned blue
When we turned blue


6.You Are Free

Lyrics:Joseph Arthur
Music:Joseph Arthur
Arranger:Joseph Arthur

Time is moving on
You and me
You and me
Suffering is gone
You are free
You are free

I know I let you down
Those days are over now

I'm no longer who I was
No longer who I thought I was
I'm no longer who I was
No longer who I thought I was
I'm no longer who I was
No longer who I thought I was
I'm no longer who I was
No longer who I thought I was

Time is moving on
You and me
You and me
Suffering is gone
You are free
You are free

I know I let you down
Those days are over now

I'm no longer who I was
No longer who you thought I was
I'm no longer who I was
No longer who I thought I was
I'm no longer who I was
No longer who I thought I was
I'm no longer who I was
No longer who you thought I was

I'm no longer who I was
No longer who I thought I was
I'm no longer who I was
No longer who I thought I was
I'm no longer who I was
No longer who you thought I was
I'm no longer who I was
No longer who I thought I was

I'm not afraid of nothing
I'm not afraid of anyone
I'm not afraid of losing myself
There ain't no self to lose
I'm not afraid of losing myself
There ain't no self to lose
I'm not afraid of losing myself
There ain't no self to lose
I'm not afraid

Time is moving on
You and me
You and me
Suffering is done
Let it be
Let it be

When you feel you're strong
You are free
You are free


7.Automatic Situation

Lyrics:Joseph Arthur
Music:Joseph Arthur
Arranger:Joseph Arthur

Automatic who you blame
Like a moth into the flame
Burn your wings, have scars to show
Always gone before you go

It's all down from here
(Automatic, Automatic, Automatic situation)
The fall you prepared
(Automatic, Automatic, Automatic situation)

Damaged pride in a twisted heart
Little thief who was never caught
Wanna give you what she earns
Souvenirs of the wings she burns

It's all down from here
(Automatic, Automatic, Automatic situation)
The fall you prepared
(Automatic, Automatic, Automatic situation)

It's all down from here
(Automatic, Automatic, Automatic situation)
The fall you prepared
(Automatic, Automatic, Automatic situation)


8.When I Was Running Out Of Time

Lyrics:Joseph Arthur
Music:Joseph Arthur
Arranger:Joseph Arthur

When I was running out of time
I turned it into a dream
And you went drifting into my mind
Things ain't the way that they seem
I turn you into a dream
And make it all go away
You know your hair looks different when you wear it that way
You've got a painted face and a body made of clay
You are my super star

They will fill you with big ideas
They'll hang your heart in the sky
I know you want to save the world
How long have you been that high
How long have you been that high
And did you make it all go away
You know your eyes look different when you look the other way
You've got a cheating heart bleeding emeralds everyday
You are a shooting star

Things ain't the same as when we was young
They hung us from shooting stars
Let's tell the world we're doing fine
I know how lucky we are
I know how lucky we are
To make it all go away
You know this world is topsy-turvy in days like today
We got a million souls looking for a place to stay
Each one a shooting star


9.Don't Tell Your Eyes

Lyrics:Joseph Arthur
Music:Joseph Arthur
Arranger:Joseph Arthur

Don't tell your eyes
Don't tell your eyes
Your eyes are mine

Don't tell your mind
Don't tell your mind
Your mind is mine

Jesus loves you more than you know
More than you know
Jesus loves you more than you know
More than you know

Don't tell your dream
Don't tell your dream
Your dream is mine

Don't tell your sex
Don't tell your sex
Your sex is mine

Jesus loves you more than you know
More than you know
Jesus loves you more than you know
More than you know

Jesus loves you more than you know
More than you know
Jesus loves you more than you know
More than you know


10.Don't Give Up On People

Lyrics:Joseph Arthur
Music:Joseph Arthur
Arranger:Joseph Arthur

Give 'em one more chance
One more thing to say
I made a very big mistake
Followed by a thousand days

Don't give up on people
Who want you to stay

Satellites and moonbeams
Signal dreams to play
Last time I saw you
Was in the sunless time of day

Don't give up on people
Who want you to stay

Don't give up on people
Who want you to stay


11.Woman

Lyrics:Joseph Arthur
Music:Joseph Arthur
Arranger:Joseph Arthur

Woman
Woman
You make me feel
Woman
Woman
Are you for real?

Cause I don't know if I make it on without you
I don't know if I could make it on my own back
home

Mother
Mother
Are you right here?
Mother
Mother
I share your fear

Cause I don't know if I make it on without you
I don't know if I could make it on my own back
home

Sister
Sister
You're here I see
Sister
Sister
You see through me

Cause I don't know if I make it on without you
I don't know if I could make it on my own back home

Woman
Woman
Are you for real
Woman
Woman
You make me feel

Cause I don't know if I make it on without you
I don't know if I could make it on my own back home


12.Nuclear Daydream

Lyrics:Joseph Arthur
Music:Joseph Arthur
Arranger:Joseph Arthur

You can hold your needle
You can point your gun
You can shoot and kill me
Or you could let me run

But I won't ever cry for you anymore
The days when I would die for you are now gone

If there's a plan then tell me
If you know who you are
A princess or a mummy
A flower or a scar

So I don't have to cry for you anymore
The days when I would die for you are now gone
Are now gone

What's it like to lose control
Are you even here at all

This is a nuclear daydream
It's my atomic bomb
I already lost my passage
I already lost our home

So I won't ever cry for you anymore
The days when I would die for you are now gone

There's only dreams and numbers
And wishes left unsaid
In all the burning letters
Underneath our bed

Saying I won't ever cry for you anymore
The days when I would die for you are now gone
Are now gone
Are now gone
Are now gone
