So we travel the world to a place we’ve seen
Darkened and faded, hollow
Was I meant to believe in a place like this?
Where it lay so hollow, (so hollow)

There was so much to doubt
And as you kept me out
I wouldn’t let you go
I rushed to your defence
But nothing made much sense
So much I didn’t know
But I can’t face my life without you
And now I know the whole truth
The demon that’s to blame
And every day that I’m without you
I know that you’ll pull through
Like a phoenix from the flames
The journey will get bright to those who criticise and fail to lend a hand
May all the while unkind and cast a stone half blind find ways to understand
But I can’t face my life without you
And now I know the whole truth
The demon that’s to blame
And every day that I’m without you
I know that you’ll pull through
Like a phoenix from the flames
It’s like the sun’s come out and I’ve been here before
And now your coming back home
Coming home to me
It’s like the sun’s come out and I’ve been here before
And now your coming back home
Coming home to me
And now your coming back home
Coming home to me
And now your coming back home
Coming home to me
You’re on the telephone
Telling me that she’s gone
Now we’ve been down this road a million times before
Cause it’s a sweet sensation
Thinking of all that hot temptation
You know it’s going right where you want
Yeah you know what’s going on
I keep breaking my own rules, playing your love fool
Trying to forget about the consequence
We keep saying we should and yeah we know we could stop
But really what it all comes down to is
It feels so good
It feels so good
When I’m in your arms
Don’t you know
It feels so good
It feels so good
It feels so good
It feels so good
I keep breaking my own rules, playing your love fool
Trying to forget about the consequence
We keep saying we should and yeah we know we could stop
But really what it all comes down to is
It feels so good
It feels so good
When I’m in your arms
Don’t you know
It feels so good
It feels so good
It feels so good
It feels so good
All these words you speak to me
Are from a foreign land
You’re telling me that birds don’t fly
How can it be that you love her?
You don’t have to raise your voice
I still don’t understand
There’s me & you, and you & me
So how can it be that you love her?
It was alchemy
To sing to me your freedom song
To make love where there was none
Alchemy – now it’s all gone
And she is the golden one
So what are you saying?
We’ve got to dismantle it all?
Rip off the paper, smash up the walls
How can it be that you love her?
Take all of the things we so carefully made
Take all of the life that you have betrayed
How can it be that you love her?
It was alchemy
To sing to me your freedom song
To make love where there was none
Alchemy – now it’s all gone
And she is the golden one
It was alchemy
To sing to me your freedom song
To make love where there was none
Alchemy – now it’s all gone
And she is the golden one
Only a few things will we recall
With love, with gratitude
Only a few things
On the hour in which I die
So if I cannot tell you
If the words I do not find
I want you to know
There are only a few things
That I will be carrying
In my memory when I go
Only a few things will we recall
With true happiness, with gratitude
Only a few things
I see you, I see you
You
You were the joy in my life
The one who loved my tired bones
You were the one who came to stay
So if I do not tell you
If I don’t find the words
It is not because I don’t feel it in my heart
You’re the one who loved my tired bones
You’re the one who took me home
You’re the one who loved my tired bones
You’re the one who took me home
You
You brought joy to my world
So I will tell you now
In case you don’t know
That you’ll be with me when I go
Only a few things will we recall
With love, with gratitude
Only a few things
On the hour in which I die
For so long now
For so long now I’ve been trying
It’s not working
I’ve been trying & hoping & wishing
With every part of me
It’s not working
I’ve been giving it out
But it’s not coming back to me baby
Kept thinking that somehow …
But I’m going to go now
Now I want to be free
You can call out my name
And tell me about your pain
But I’m not coming back to you baby
I’ll be giving it out
But it’s not going to come back to you
Yeah, I’ll be giving it out
But it’s not going to come back to you
There’s only so much
Only so much you can do
My heart is breaking
I kept on giving it out
Because I love you
But oh-oh this is not enough for me
Now I want to be free
You can call out my name
And tell me about your pain
But I’m not coming back to you baby
I’ll be giving it out
But it’s not going to come back to you
Yeah, I’ll be giving it out
But it’s not going to come back to you
Baby call out my name
And tell me all about your shame
But I’m not coming back to you baby
I’ll be giving it out
But it’s not going to come back to you
Yes I’ll be giving it out
But it’s not going to come back to you
Oh yeah
Giving it out
All the good stuff
Giving it out to somebody who loves me
Somebody who loves me
Somebody who loves me
It’s the same old scene
You’ve been stuck at the screen for a lifetime
You keep your mind sharp & clean
With a fix of caffeine for the nighttime
You’ve got a page full of friends
In a world without end, DIKU?
But if push comes to shove
You could do without them if they make you
With all this poison inside
It’s much too late to decide
You’ve got your mind made up
You’ve been living a lie in your white room
For all the hours that you’ve cried
There’s a year of love they denied
So you slip through the door
And fall to the floor in your black room
You’re a black room boy
You’re feeling so weighed down
Forget the losses and burn down
Fall into city lights
Nothing else is easy
You kissed your mummy’s hand
Wearing daddy’s ring when they left you
And you buried yourself in the pain
That they couldn’t accept you
You’re in a world of your own
Got no cellular phone, they can’t track you
But the girl at the store with the sketchy rapport
She will back you
With all this poison inside
It’s much too late to decide
You’ve got your mind made up
You’ve been living a lie in your white room
For all the hours that you’ve cried
There’s a year of love they denied
So you slip through the door
And fall to the floor in your black room
You’re a black room boy
You’re feeling so weighed down
Forget the losses and burn down
Fall into city lights
Nothing else is easy
You’re feeling so weighed down
Forget the losses and burn down
Fall into city lights
Nothing else is easy
You’re a black room boy
You’re feeling so weighed down
Forget the losses and burn down
Fall into city lights
Nothing else is easy
