1.You Waste Time Like A Grandfather Clock
where were you a week ago?
when we gathered in the courtyard
where were you when we sang
and our song shook the ground
where were you a week ago?
when the churchbells started swinging
where were you when they rang and angels came down
you waste like grandfather clock
imagine we start counting sandbags,
thats when we start counting sandbags
where were you a week ago?
when the green line started growing
where were you when it burst
and spread green the cloud
where were you a week ago
when the red sign wasn't sinking
where were you when it cracked
and spread fire about?
you waste time like a grandfather clock
you waste time like a grandfather clock
imagine we start counting sandbags,
thats when we start counting sandbags
you waste time like a grandfather clock
you waste time like a grandfather clock
and thats when we start counting sandbags,
thats when we start counting sandbags
and if God would part the clouds
do you think He'd be proud?
you waste time like a grandfather clock
you waste time like a grandfather clock
and thats when we start counting sandbags,
thats when we start counting sandbags
you waste time like a grandfather clock
you waste time like a grandfather clock
and thats when we start counting sandbags,
thats when we start counting sandbags
2.Get On The Plane.
Children, please don't breathe the air.
Your lips are turning blue.
It seems that God was not impressed with clever,
crooked fools.
And if the sun comes up tomorrow
We'll be fine.
And if the sun comes up tomorrow
We'll be fine.
Don't be afraid. You'll see
This plan of ours won't fail.
We've built enough aeroplanes
To fly us far from here.
And if the sun comes up tomorrow
We'll be fine.
And if the sun comes up tomorrow
We'll be fine.
We'll be fine.
We'll be fine.
We'll be fine.
And if the sun comes up tomorrow
We'll be fine.
And if the sun comes up tomorrow
We'll be fine.
We'll be fine.
We'll be fine.
We'll be fine.
3.Forget What You Came For
forget what you came for
and give up what you have
forget what you came for
and give up what you have
as all the lights go down you'll see
that things aren't what they seem
for the sounds that spin you around
will crush your bones
quit making noise
and lend an ear to the silent voice
and trust in the hope of a thousand ships
crashing down on the sea
forget what you came for
forget what you came for
forget what you came for
and give up what you have
unhealthy rust in your blood stream
?i laugh this lust to play your dream?
then all the ghosts that chill the air
come and join your bones
quit making noise
and become still for the silent voice
and quit making noise
and wait
forget what you came for (x6)
and give up what you love
4.A Clean Shot
I would die to be your lover lost at sea
And I'd fly to hear your arid sirening
And I'd scream 'My love!' through bloody hurricanes
Would you say so if you thought of me?
Would you say so if you thought of me?
And would it crush you if you saw me bleed?
And would you dance the same if you knew that I could see?
Do you feel the same for me?
With guns ablaze I'll bring you what you need
And with fires of rain and wake our blinking city up
I'll scream 'My love!' as arrows fill the skies.
Would you say so if you thought of me?
Would you say so if you thought of me?
And would it crush you if you saw me bleed?
And would you dance the same if you knew that I could see?
Would you say so if you thought of me?
And would it crush you if you saw me bleed?
And would you dance the same if you knew that I could see?
Do you feel the same for me?
Hey now, oh no you've got a clean shot
All the ways you could pierce my heart.
Hey now, oh no you've run me right through
With all these words that I've sung to you.
Would you say so if you thought of me?
And would it crush you if you saw me bleed?
And would you dance the same if you knew that I could see?
Would you say so if you thought of me?
And would it crush you if you saw me bleed?
And would you dance the same if you knew that I could see?
Do you feel the same for me?
5.The Accident
there he sat yes you right there

break it down now, and make it easier on me
because it hurts when you drag through all the pieces

6.Holiest Of Thieves
they have it with their holy lives
and began to stir the skies
going down through swift clouds

and began to stir the skies
going down through swift clouds

7.A Thousand Winters Melting
the streets are filled with angels
walking by my side
and every time I listen close
I hear their footsteps quickly run and hide
it's all a bit confusing
impossible at best
but when I walk alone at night
I feel their holy presence lift my head
love, love, a thousand winters melting
love, yes love, as you wrap your arms around me
wait for us to listen
to the voices we can't see
then wait till all the lights go down
and finally we hear that melody
love, love, a thousand winters melting
love, yes love, as you wrap your arms around me
there's a thousand ways you love me
and a thousand times you've shown me
and if ever I felt love
I found you
love, love, a thousand winters melting
love, yes love, as you wrap your arms around me
there's a thousand ways you love me
and a thousand times you've shown me
love, yes love, as you wrap your arms around me
8.Polar Bears And Shark Fins
did you forget to read the signs
posted on every corner
polar bears have escaped
they are running throughout the town
still you alone, oblivious
you pack up all of your things
and you roll on, oblivious
wouldn't it be nice
if we could ignore all the signs
for just one day
if we could break all of the rules
for just one day
did you forget to read the signs
sharks are creeping in, today
tired of eating fish
in search of something more rewarding
still you roll on, oblivious
you pack up all of your things
and you roll on, oblivious
wouldn't it be nice
if we could ignore all the signs
for just one day
if we could break all of the rules
for just one day
for just one day
for just one day
for just one day
wouldn't it be nice
if we could ignore all the signs
for just one day
if we could fall in love and break rules
for just one day
9.Throwing Punches
make a list of what you'll need
pack the knives and pack the bread
and then pray for holy things
but first, be careful what you wish for
and next, be sure before you crawl
through open doors
(is this what you meant)
(was this what you meant)
?slick the brain on exhaust?
i pushed my life into a duffel bag
crushed against the walls,
it's not safe out here
slicker with rain and exhaust
smelling like sugar and seedy regem
slicker with rain and exhaust
it's not safe out here
is this what you meant by love
to throw a punch with the comeback kids
you've given me desires
with the catch of hope and fate
is this what you meant by love
crashing cars with the cooolest kids
you've given me my one desire
even though it's dangerous
is this what you meant by love
to throw a punch at the comeback kids
you've given me desires
with the catch of hope and fate
is this what you meant by love
crashing cars with the cooolest kids
you've given me my one desire
even though it's dangerous
10.Don't Let Them See You!
they're still out here
amongst the trees
they're still out here
amongst the trees
don't let them see you
don't let them see you
the fog rolls in
and the temperature drops about 30 degrees
200 years have disappeared
and yet the pipe smoke lingers
fog creeps in
and the temperature drops about 30 degrees
200 years have disappeared
and yet the pipe smoke lingers here
for if you make a sound
or you turn around
they will be gone, they will be gone
and if you choose to run
you'll see their blinking eyes
and know your time has come
you might be wrong
don't let them see you
a splash of gin
to let them know that you are here
200 years have disappeared
and yet the pipe smoke lingers
a punch in the gut
if their intentions have not been made clear
200 years have disappeared
and yet the pipe smoke lingers here
don't let them see you
for if you make a sound
or you turn around
they will be gone, they will be gone
and if you choose to run
you'll see their blinking eyes
and know your time has come
you might be wrong
for if you make a sound
or you turn around
they will be gone, they will be gone
and if you choose to run
you'll see their blinking eyes
and know your time has come
you might be wrong
don't ever let them see you
don't ever let them see you
you might be wrong
you might be crazy
they're still out here
amongst the trees
they're still out here
amongst the trees
don't let them see you
don't let them see you
don't let them see you
11.Braver Than The Rest
take a step backwards
now take two steps to the left
yes that's it you should be fine
your braver than the rest
they say it's in your head now
that somethings got me down
it must be lack of sleep I guess
but I believe it's something else
it's taking too long
it should've happened by now
i swear it seems insane
but you have to belive me
like clockwork every night
it should've happened by now
just wait and see
they say it's in my head now
that something must be done
to cleanse these thoughts and wake me up
but I believe they've just begun
someone's got to give
someone's got to give
someone's got to give
and if you're asking me,
no it won't be me
halalalalala x4
take a step backwards
nowait take a step forwards
or was it backwards
or was it left or right
it shouldn't take this long
what is happening, what is happening
someone's got to give
someone's got to give
someone's got to give
and if you're asking me,
no it won't be me
someone's got to give
someone's got to give
someone's got to give
and if you're asking me,
no it won't be me
12.Stuck In A Glass Elevator
if we run we just might find
that there's a way to get out of this place
if we run we just might find that
there's a way that there's a way,
to get out to get out
and in the end the glass will crumble
in the end it will burst and break
in the end the glass will crumble
in the end, in the end
we'll get out, we'll get out
is it just me
or is it getting hotter in this place
is it just me
or is it getting hotter
lets get out, lets get out
lets get out, lets get out
lets get out, lets get out of this place(X4)
