From Influence to Ignorance

Union Carbide Productions From Influence to Ignorance Lyrics
1.Train Song

Try to change your habits try to change your style
Try to break on through to the other side
Gotta find a new place cause you don't wanna stay
And I can't always be that way

You're in orbit of fashion you're in orbit of lies
You're a loser waiting for somebodys advice
Well, what's here right now will tomorrow be gone
And I can't always get it wrong
And I can't always get it wrong

There's some people talking about yesterday
There's a ship of relations and it's floating away
There's some friends I know who won't be the same
And I can't always miss the train
And I can't always miss the train


2.Be Myself Again

I feel so way by down and out
And i know that soon my time is running out
I've been so high and i've been so low
And all the time i've was movin' too slow
But i guess that time takes a friend
To be yourself again
To be myself again
To be myself again
To be myself again

I don't need your books to know how to read
While this mind of mine is just filled up with speed
You told me this now you're telling me that
Well, did i ever tell you how to act
Cause you know it's time, time to pretend to
To be yourself again
And i'll be myself again
Be myself again
Be myself again
Again


3.Golden Age

I start counting the leaves
while everybody's behind
i'm waiting here for the meek
they will inherit this time
and everybody's laughing
when you say you're gonna rise above
and there's no use asking
when you pray that all you need is love

It doesn't matter to me
well, does it matter to you
they didn't give you much space
they didn't give you much time
in this golden age

Too much has been told
and too much has been said
but you'll never get old
when everybody's dead
and all your children are laughing
when you say you're gonna rise above
and there is no use asking
when you've got memories to dwell upon

It doesn't matter to me
well, does it matter to you
they didn't give you much space
they didn't give you much time
in this golden age

I start counting the leaves
while everybody's behind
i'm waiting here for the meek
they shall inherit this time
and everybody's laughing
when you say you're gonna rise above
but there's no use asking
when
you pray that all you need is love

It doesn't matter to me
well, does it matter to you
i didn't loose my face
i didn't trace my time
in your golden age


4.Can't Hear Nothing

You try to pay me attention
but i don't know what you mean
you try to pay me attention
while i'm inside a dream
i don't have an opinion
i've got no point of view
you try to pay me attention
but there's nothing i can do

So won't you lend me your ears
cause i can't hear nothing
my mind is so full of fear
and i can't hear nothing
you better make up your mind
cause i don't wanna play it safe
no i don't wanna play it safe

You say that you've got problems
i think i've heard it before
you say that you try to solve them
but i can't see what for
well can you give me a reason
to make me listen to you
you say that you've got problems
but there's nothing i can do

So won't you lend me your eyes
cause i can't see nothing
i ain't got no advice
cause i can't see nothing
it's time to make up your mind
cause i don't wanna play it safe
no, i don't wanna play it safe
i don't wanna play it safe
no!
don't wanna play it safe

you try to pay me attention
but i can't hear you call
well my words ain't worth to be mentioned
when you push me against the wall

So won't you lend me your mouth
cause i can't say nothing
well, i'm so full of doubt
and i can't say nothing
so won't you lend me your ears
cause i can't hear nothing
i'm so full of fear
and i can't hear nothing


5.Baritone Street

Like to tell a thousand stories
but that would be a thousand lies
so i'll just try to make another statement
before you break right through the ice
i guess that life has been too easy
well, that isn't hard to tell
when all you care about is reputation
and you try to live up to somebody else

But don't you think that it's a pity
well, you know i'm sorry too
that your face is no longer pretty
when truth comes down to someone like you
but don't you know the world's still waiting for you to make a
move

Let's not talk about class
cause that is something to forget
well, i'm not living in the past
but i tell you i'm not a cigarette
and so you think you've got it made
that's really hard for me to understand
don't try to solve another problem
just save it right until the end

But don't you think that it's a pity
well, you know i'm sorry too
that your face is no longer pretty
when truth comes down to someone like you
well, i'd really like to see what you can do

Cause something inside
that was always denied
and you couldn't swallow your pride
and now you've got nowhere to hide

I'm not talking about my dreams
and i'm not talking about a different song
cause there were so many oppurtunities
and you're the one who's got it wrong
well maybe i could be your mirror
and maybe i could be a fool
you know it doesn't really matter
cause i've got no one left to screw

But don't you think that it's a pity
well, you know i'm sorry too
that faces ain't no longer pretty
when truth comes down to someone like you
when truth comes down to someone like you
like you


6.Got My Eyes On You

Overnight sensations
i've got my eyes on you
overnight sensations
will you put me through
there ain't nothing that i wouldn't do
to make you stop to distort my views
yeah you
i've got my eyes on you

Faraway nations
i've got my eyes on you
faraway nations
will you put me through
let me push the button
cause i've got nothing to do
well you better duck and cover
for i will be there soon

World domination
i've got my eyes on you
world domination
will you put me through
far too many people
that will depend on you
i've been waiting for so long now
to make my dreams come true

The sun is going down
and snakes begin to crawl
take a look around
can you see the berlin wall?
please, can you tell me
what's behind the news
please can you tell me, cause
i've got my eyes on you
i've got my eyes on you
i've got my eyes on you


7.Can't Slow Down

Like to make you happy
i like to make you sad
but i'm something
that will drive you mad
cause i can't slow down

I'm evolution
i am your pain
i'm no revolution
but i'm inside your brain
and i can't slow down
i just can't slow down

Somebody's gonna loose his way to talk
and somebody's gonna choose his way to walk

I'm your mother
and i don't care
i am your consiousness
and i've got no time to spare
cause i can't slow down
no i can't slow down
i can't slow down
i can't slow down


8.Sunset Trip

You've been taken for a ride
and you feel like it's not over yet
there's no way to buy yourself out
and you're too lazy to commit suicide
and with a smile you try to get along
try to pretend that there's nothing wrong
but you've been taken for a ride
and now you just wanna forget
so you get for another trip
but that won't get you high
just try to make the best out of it
yeah, it's time to get fried
well so long bye, bye

Gotta hold your head up high
yeah you wanna be a man
tell me your imaginations
and say that no one understands
try to impress your so called friends
cause they've got no expectations from you
gotta hold your head up high
so let me give you a hand

And then you go for another trip
but that won't get you high
just try to make the best out of it
come on it's time to fly
but it won't give you any miracles
it won't give you any miracles
it won't give you any miracles
it won't give you any miracles
it won't give you any miracles
it won't give you any miracles
it won't give you any miracles
so i guess you'll just have to wait for the next one

So green has turned to red
and pink has turned to blue
what's the colour of life
when you don't know what to do?

Well, forget all i've said
forget that i bummed your trip
curiosity, that's what it was
and there's a million ways to get lost
but it won't give you any miracles
it won't give you any miracles
it won't give you any miracles
it won't give you any miracles
it won't give you any miracles
it won't give you any miracles
it won't give you any miracles
so i guess you just have to wait for the next one
and you know that it's a merry-go-round


9.Circles

There are some alley cats running down the streets tonight
There's a band in a cellar trying to keep uptight
There's a man from the inside waiting to get old
He tries to write a story that has never been told

There's somebody on the phone who won't let me be
and the people next door they are watching tv
well, i think they're talking about the middle east
and it sounds just like a movie waiting for it's release

I''ve been moving round in circles
try to find a way back home
moving in a circus trying to find my way back home
but it's always the same
wherever i may roam
and it makes me feel like a dog
looking for his bone

Hey my little friend, have you got time to waste
hey my little friend can you show me my place
guess there is no relief for a person like me
cause i'm the one who's cheated by the things i see

I've been moving round in circles
try to find a way back home
moving in a circus trying to find my way back home
but it's always the same wherever i may roam
it's always the same wherever i may roamit's always the same
wherever i may roam
and it makes me feel like sometimes
i wish i'd never been born

There are some alley cats running down the streets tonight
and a band in a cellar trying to keep uptight
there's a man who's standing on a yellow brick road
and he tries to tell a story that has never been told
he tries to tell a story that has never been told
tries to tell a story that has never been told


10.Coda

We awoke on each others side
there weren't so many things that we could hide for our love
we were young and we looked so fine
i guess we never really got the time for our love

I don't need your admiration
cause i'm not like you
so let me off on another station
and you will understand, too

I suppose that we got it made
and i suppose we never can be saved from our love
we said goodbye before we said hello
seems like the walls never cease to grow for our love

Speak your mind or get out of my way
cause i've got nothing to hide
and maybe i will return someday
when all your feelings have turned to die
for our love

We smile so happily
we kill so desperatly for our love
this was a mighty trap
but don't cut your wrist this time for our love
for our love
for our love
for our love
for our love

And so this was not enough
i've got you under my skin
is there more than a human touch
for the end to begin?
i could not forsee this would be the line
that's drawn between our love
our love
our love
our love
