song lyrics

Can I please stay in the clouds forever?
‘Cause I really like it here
[x2]

If they can see what I can see
If they can hear what I can hear
If only they can see what I can see
They would really like it here

Just look at everything in front of you
Then look from above
[x2]

Come and please stay in the clouds forever
You would really like it here
[x2]

You found me
Right when
I was in
The land
Of the dark and cold

Don’t forget everything
That we have been
A-fighting for
Because we’ll win this war
We will win this war

Grab this bag of gold
That was ours to hold
[x2]

We’ll stay up on guard
All through the night
Find a place to hide
Until it’s time to strike

They must know
That we will never leave
Even if they tried
Even if they tried

Grab this bag of gold
That was ours to hold
[x2]

Just roll your head in the sun [x4]

Thank you, sun [x4]

Just roll your head in the sun [x4]

Thank you, sun [x4]

What is this all about?
Settle down, please don’t yell or shout
The landlord, he lives downstairs
We’ll get evicted
Please don’t be too loud

You say I’m passive-aggressive
How can I not be?
When you’re always talking at me
You say I’m unresponsive
And here you are
Talking over me

You make me wanna throw this shoe
Right through that concrete wall
Maybe you should pack your things
If it’s that dreadful
Then just leave it all

Don’t wanna keep on sharing my bed
With someone that I have to love less and less
Every time I try to make you smile
You say that I’m being a child
Well, I tried my best

You say that I need therapy
Well, my darling, so do you
Don’t need for you to tell me
What is wrong in all I say or do

Please don’t try to throw this shoe
Right through that concrete wall
Maybe you should pack your things
If it’s that dreadful
Then just leave it all

Madness is the day that has yet to come
My brother says his prayers like he’s havin’ fun
Both the essence of real and faux
Für Elise is a piece
We already know

Why wear out a beautiful thing
When you don’t even know what time you’re in
Vast knowledge comes with a price
A price that you have to pay for twice

Aside from them there is you and I
So let’s not ruin this big surprise
Yes the stars move in mysterious ways
In ways we should move with them in grace

To deal with what
Bygones want
Both the execution has been done
My brother is doing what he did once
Sayin’ his prayers like he’s havin’ fun

Madness is the day that has yet to come
My brother says his prayers like he’s havin’ fun
Both the essence of real and faux
Für Elise is a piece
We already know

Oh sayang,
Siboh kitak nangis,
Mulut urang,
Nang kadang-kadang jaik

Oh sayang,
Jangan ambik ati
Tok kelak akan pegi
Sik lamak lagik

Sik kesah
Ribut kah, guntur kah, kilat kah
Kamek akan disebelah kitak
Mun kitak perlu kamek

Oh sayang,
Udah gik kitak nangis
Kamek sik suka nangga
Kitak patah ati

Oh sik hal sayang,
Dunia tok memang adel
Asalkan kitak jangan lupak dirik

Sik kesah
Ribut kah, guntur kah, kilat kah
Kamek akan disebelah kitak
Mun kitak perlu kamek

Mun kitak perlu kamek…

The ripe age of seventeen
Moved into the big bad city
Hoping it’d accept me
But I didn’t care it would make me wise and lean

Spent many a-sleepless nights
Don’t care if the bedbugs bite
A hundred fancy couches
But my pillow was the thought of you

A flameless name
A foolish game
I’m half crazy
And you’re too sane

31 days in June
My only mission was to find you
Yes I may be tired and I’m spent
But my love will pay the rent

With one shirt on my back
My father’s duffle bag
And it’s seen better days
Just like the youth that was once on my face

A shameless name
A foolish game
I’m half crazy
And you’re too sane

31 days in June
My only mission was to find you
Yes I may be tired and I’m spent
But my love will pay the rent
My love, yeah my love will pay the rent

This is either the first or the last house
This river
Runs through
And my mind is a mad house I only share
With you

Legs are dangling over
This old jetty here
And my light is
Supplied by
Nothing but the brightness
Of the Milestone Moon

Ripples in the water
Tells me that you are near
And as always it’s a false alarm
If you wait too hard

Not long now
You’ll be in my arms

Sitting patiently
For your return
When will I learn
That soon
Time will burn

Wondering and pondering
If I’ve been here before
Or am I a new born
Waiting to learn more
I want to learn more

Not long now
You’ll be in my arms

With nothing but the brightness
Of the Milestone Moon
[repeat until the end]

I’m insufflated by
The devil’s cry
Even the snowflakes on the glass covered
Painting won’t help me see
The best I used to be

Suppose I never taken anything too seriously
Perhaps I’d already be the ruler of this city
That’s in my head
So I will stay there instead

Even my lover’s no
Longer enamored by
Even my lover’s no
Longer enamored by me
By me

Cause I’m an anchor
So far down the line
I’m an anchor
Deep in the ocean that’s my mind
I’m an anchor
But I think I’ll be fine

This candy’s kind of weak
Ain’t not the kick I need
Even the sandman does not know just
What to give to me
Perhaps a useful dream

Even my lover’s no
Longer enamored by
Even my lover’s no
Longer enamored by me
By me

Cause I’m an anchor
So far down the line
I’m an anchor
Deep in the ocean that’s my mind
I’m an anchor
But I think I’ll be fine

The turtle is slowly and is happy with his face of life
The flamingo walks with elegant grace—she knows she’s one of a kind

If you can’t stop, at least smile as you go by
If you can’t stop, at least smile as you go by
Sometimes, you just gotta know how to feel

The happy crab danced on the beach to a calypso beat
The happy mullet jumps for the pure joy of being alive

If you can’t stop, at least smile as you go by
If you can’t stop, at least smile as you go by
Sometimes, you just gotta know how to feel

The gator grinned as he dreamed of his next meal
Every good fisherman has a pelican watching over him

If you can’t stop, at least smile as you go by
If you can’t stop, at least smile as you go by
Sometimes, you just gotta know how to feel

Like a swell window
I will wait for you,
We’ll ride the moment ‘til I catch you again.
‘Til I catch you again.
Ooh

I met with a young man
Who has an ocean romance
And he calls it the way of life.
He tells me how he feels when he’s alone
With the raging sound of calm.
The raging sound of calm.

Fully untainted sacred place…

Like a swell window
I will wait for you,
We’ll ride the moment ‘til I catch you again.
‘Til I catch you again.

Like a swell window
I will wait for you,
We’ll ride the moment ‘til I catch you again.
‘Til I catch you again.
Ooh

Little doses count
This time will come around.
We’re all riding the same waves.
We’re all riding the same waves.

Soon we’ll all be face to face.

Like a swell window
I will wait for you,
We’ll ride the moment ‘til I catch you again.
‘Til I catch you again.

Like a swell window
I will wait for you,
We’ll ride the moment ‘til I catch you again.
‘Til I catch you again.
Ooh

I’m down to my last
stick of cigarette
I’m down to the last thought
in my head

You saw me
packing my bags
You asked me
if I was coming back
And I told you
that I wasn’t sure
and I’m
5 steps away from out the door

Darlin’ it ain’t easy
for me to say goodbye
but I have found myself another guy

You look confused
And I dont blame you
But you’re never around
enough for me to love you
me to love you

Darlin’ you don’t deserve me
you don’t deserve my love
I had plenty to give
but you shrugged it off

Don’t think I dont know
about the hair on the pillow
and it seems like what we had was just a show
was it all
just a show?

Darlin’ it aint easy
for us to say goodbye
I just hope that we’ll have better lives

Bring me a lily and one loaf of bread
take me home now
I can’t forget any words that you’ve said
but they’re gone now
Trying my best to keep up with your pace
but you’re too fast
Trying my best to get off of this fence
for I won’t last

Maybe we can try to be better this time
Maybe we can try to be better this time

I’m just a speckle of dust
in this gigantic world now
I’m going only where the air will take me
bring me down now

And my smiles turn to tears
and I’m facing my fears
can’t you see me
trying my best to reach out for your hand
you won’t let me in
and I’ve done what I can
you keep changing your plans
do you need me

Maybe we can try to be better this time
Maybe we can try to be better this time

so let me in
let me in
let me in
let me in
let me….

Broken dreams, broken dreams
hoping someday you’ll see me
Sky is grey, sky is grey
but I’m dancing in the rain
Live this way, live this way
will you remember my name?
Live a lie, live a lie
why don’t you ask yourself why…

Don’t you open your eyes?

Only the moon, only the moon
only the moon will hear my plea
Only the creatures of the night
will harmonize with me
Missed you so, missed you so
and I wondered if you know
The wind has blown me in the corner
and it’s hard to let go

That’s the story…
that’s the story of you and me

You have never been in love,
Until you’ve seen the stars,
reflect in the resevoirs

And you have never been in love,
Until you’ve seen the dawn rise,
behind the home for the blind

We are the pretty petty thieves,
And you’re standing on our street..

...where Hector was the first of the gang
with a gun in his hand
and the first to do time
the first of the gang to die. Oh my.
Hector was the first of the gang
with a gun in his hand
and the first to do time
the first of the gang to die. Oh my.

You have never been in love,
Until you’ve seen the sunlight thrown
over smashed human bones

We are the pretty petty thieves,
And you’re standing on our street..

...where Hector was the first of the gang
with a gun in his hand
and the first to do time
the first of the gang to die. Such a silly boy.
Hector was the first of the gang
with a gun in his hand
and a bullet in his gullet
and the first lost lad to go under the sod.


And he stole from the rich and the poor
and the not-very-rich and the very poor
and he stole all hearts away
he stole all hearts away
he stole all hearts away
he stole all hearts away

No…
I really don’t think so
that you’d think I’d be incapable
of being on my own

No…
I really don’t think so
that I would for a second let you
back in through my door

I have spent
many a-nights even when
you were by my side
I shed tears I couldn’t dry

But I should thank you for
taking my blindfold off
now I ain’t jaded no more
And I take pride
in bein’ the one that said goodbye
that could only mean
I am me, once more

You would turn
your head the other way
so you wont have to listen
to what I had to say

You assumed
that I needed you
but you didnt realize that
I needed no one but myself

But I should thank you for
taking my blindfold off
now I ain’t jaded no more
And I take pride
in bein’ the one that said goodbye
that could only mean
I am me, once more

Semalam I call you, you tak answer
You kata you keluar pergi dinner
You kata you keluar dengan kawan you
But when I called Tommy he said it wasn’t true

So I drove my car pergi Damansara
Tommy kata maybe you tengok bola
Tapi bila i sampai, you tak ada
Lagilah i jadi gila!

So I called and called sampai you answer
You kata, ‘Sorry, sayang. Tadi tak dengar.
My phone was on silent, i was at the gym.”
Tapi latar belakang suara perempuan lain.

Sudahlah, sayang, I don’t believe you
I’ve always known that your words were never true
Why am I with you? I pun tak tahu
No wonderlah my friends pun tak suka

So I guess that’s the end of our story
Akhir kata she accepted his apology
Tapi last-last kita dapat tahu she was cheating too
With her ex-boyfriend’s best friend…
Tommy

Flowers in the ground they wilt way
Sun in the sky it fades away
Make the funniest shapes from the cloud so grey
the breeze in the trees they blow my way

I was told my soul was old
then can’t I understand it all
if my soul was really old
I wonder if i could change this world

Life has given my obstacles
still I bite my tongue say it’s wonderful
I’m just glad I’m still around
I’m even more glad when things are down

But you, you came to break me
oh you, you came to save me

Life’s too short for what if’s and plans
so let the day take you by the hand
get your filofax we’ll go and burn them
but I’m too old for ‘damn the man’

I make a wish on a star at night
the brightest star that’s in the sky
Only to have realized
that it was just a satellite

But you, you came to calm me
oh you, you came to cool me

You were sitting at the coffee table
where you’re reading Kierkegaard
Minutes later, you proceeded to say
something that almost broke my heart

You said, “Darling, I am tired of livin’ my routined life.
There’s so much in the world that i’d like
to soak up with my eyes.”
Well, baby I never did stop you from going out to explore
We can do it all together from the colds of the poles
to the tropics of Borneo

Ba da da ba da…

Let’s pack our bags
and lie on the easy stream
feel the water on our backs
where we can carry on dreamin’
where we can finally
be where we’d like to be
Darlin’, just you and me

Just you and me…

So Darlin’, what do you say?
Does that sound like a plan to you?
We can build our own little world
where no one can come through
We can live in huts made out of grass
we can greet father time as he walks pass
we can press feet into the dirt
a little mud, no, it wouldn’t hurt

Ba da da ba da ba…

Let’s pack our bags
and lie on the easy stream
feel the water on our backs
where we can carry on dreamin’
where we can finally
be where we’d like to be
Darlin’, just you and me

Just you and me..

Is this the end?
Then why does it feel
We’d only just begun
I thought we were done

I think I’ll hang on
If you still want me
But if you don’t
I guess I’ll move on

And if you need me
Close your eyes and dream
I’ll give you back your key
But will you be happy?
Will you be happy?

Said we’ll leave it alone
But I wont be here long
And when I’m gone
I guess then we’ll know

I am a honey bee
shun out from the colony
they wont let me in

so I left the hive
they took away all my stripes
and broke off both my wings

So ill find another tree
and make the wind my friend
and I’ll sing with the birds
they’ll tell me the secrets of the world

but my other honey bee
is stuck where he doesn’t want to bee
oh my darling honey bee
I’ll come save you even if it means
I’ll have to face the queen

I will come prepared
my new friends say they would help
me get my loved one back

They say it isn’t right
they have control of your mind
but I choose not to believe that

So we’ll meet in the darkness of the night
I promise I will get there on time
I’ll be guided by my friends the butterflies
an bring us back to our own little hive

Oh my other honey bee
no longer stuck where you dont wannabe
oh my darling honey bee
I have saved you and now that you’re with me
we could make our own honey  

Sun rays come down
as seen when they hit the ground
Children spinning around
Til’ they fall down down down

I wait for you
It’s been two hours now
and you’re still somewhere in town
your dinner’s getting cold

I rest my case
you are always this late
and you know how much I hate
waiting around, round, round

Bitter heart, bitter heart
tries to keep it all inside
Bitter heart, bitter heart
shadows will help you try to hide
Bitter heart my bitter heart
is getting just a little fragile
Bitter heart bitter heart
of mine

And then you come
and tell me the same reason
that you did yesterday
so tell me what’s her name

du du du du

My baby he don’t act like himself no more
he lost that smile I used to adore
he spent his nights slapping his veins
he lost that glow he used to have in his face
empty burned bottle on the carpet
my baby lying beside it
tin foil and melted sugar everywhere

He said his provider was his
pharmicist friend Ben
I swear i’m gonna kill him because
I swear i’m gonna kill him because
because

The poppy took my baby away from me

My baby used to repeat the news
and now he talks about dragons on the walls
he used to love german expressionism films
now he drinks until he falls

I was confused
didn’t know what to do
so I called his mama
have her come on over

She got him off the ground
started slapping him around
and as she cried she said,

The poppy took my baby away from me
