Well I’m trying to move on forward
But there’s a monkey at the wheel
I’m going round in circles
I can’t get where I wanna be

Can’t you see
I work my fingers to the bone
I need for me
My head clear of the smoke

I don’t care how I get there
As long as I can find my way home

If I gave you all my money
And sent you off with what I own

You’d probably come back with some magic beans
That when I plant don’t even grow
You bring me down
All along I should’a known

Time’s running out
Running out
I gotta get back on the road

Well I don’t care how I get there
As long as I can find my way home
My way home
I gotta find my way home
Oh yeah

I’m trying to move on forward
But there’s monkey at the wheel
I’m going round in circles
I can’t get where I wanna be
Can’t you see
Can’t you see
I work my fingers to the bone

And I need for me
For me
My head clear of the smoke

I don’t care how I get there
As long as I can find my way
I don’t care how I get there
As long as I can find my way home
I gotta find my way home

Desire in my imagination
I know I can make it real
All I need to ease the frustration
That I feel
And I feel

I’ve gotta get away
From everything that’s gotta change
Gotta get away
Oh something
Oh something
Gotta getaway

I wake up in the morning
I know that I can’t complain
But I do ‘cause I think I’m falling away

There’s something I always wanted
And I know that I’ve got it in me
There’s things that help me get started
I don’t know what’s stopping me
So I’ve gotta get away
From everything that’s gotta change
I gotta get away
Always something
Always something

Gotta stop this messing around
‘Cause gravity’s pulling me down
Oh something
Something

Gotta get away
From everything that’s gotta change
Baby things have gotta change
Gotta getaway
Always something
Some things have gotta
Yeah because I know I’ve gotta
Getaway

When it all falls down
And you can’t find your way
Everything wears you out
But you still lie awake
Nothing is ever quite as bad
If you can’t see that today
There’s always tomorrow
There’s always tomorrow

So you’ve given everything
Got nothing to show
Wake up as the day begins
Feel like you’re out on your own
Some days are made
To try us out
If you can’t see that today
There’s always tomorrow
There’s always tomorrow

If you look hard you will see the colours of a rainbow
Even if now everything seems a faded grey
There’s always a shining light and a wind that blows
All the clouds
Every single one
Standing in your way

When money dissolves away
You can’t get what you need
You can never seem to make
Enough for all ends to meet

Oh there’s tomorrow
Oh there’s tomorrow
Oh there’s tomorrow
Yeah tomorrow
Oh oh

Life is like a cigarette
Slowly burning away
Take what you can as the ashes burn
Because tomorrow will be too late

Feeling scared by the danger
Or hungry for the heat
Ordinary never won
Is that who you want to be

Whatever you do
Whatever you say
Someone always brings you down
Lose yourself
Ain’t no going back
Ain’t no second time around

Gonna live my life
‘Cause I don’t wanna see it slip away
Wanna feel alive, feel the buzz inside
That the ice I’m upon might break

Promises made of nothing
Dreams up against defeat
Aspirations dampened down
So blind that you can’t see
Through the smoke that stands in front of you
Don’t want to let you by
Rise above and look on down
And then you’ll realise

Whatever you do
Whatever you say
Someone always brings you down
Lose yourself
Ain’t no going back
Ain’t no second time around

Gonna live my life
‘Cause I don’t wanna see it slip away
Wanna feel alive, feel the buzz inside
That the ice I’m upon might break

Whatever you do
Whatever you say
Someone always brings you down
Lose yourself
Ain’t no going back
Ain’t no second time around

Gonna live my life
‘Cause I don’t wanna see it slip away
Wanna feel alive, feel the buzz inside
That the ice I’m upon might break
Oh, oh, oh

Morning breaks with the sunlight streams through the window
As my eyes are nudged open I see
Oh your smile
It lights up and it’s making your face glow
Ease my aching head
You’re the only cure I’ll ever need
Oh you are so wonderful
Oh you are so beautiful
You’re so beautiful to me

Sometimes when I feel in line with what life can throw
My way and I’m brought to my knees
Everything
All the things you do that you don’t know
Give to me all the strength I’ll ever need
Oh you are so wonderful
Oh you are so beautiful
You’re so beautiful to me
Na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na

Oh you’re so beautiful to me
Oh you are so wonderful
Oh you are so beautiful
You’re so beautiful to me
Oh you’re so beautiful to me
Oh you’re so beautiful to me
You’re so beautiful to me

Suddenly I can’t breathe
I try not to let it show
It’s getting on top of me
But I know that somewhere out there
Wherever I am I’ll find again
Wherever I am I’ll find again
When all is broken on the floor
If I tried I could never again
Break it any more

Trying to fix me
But only I can and can’t
Break from disorderly
Thoughts held in my hand
I need resolution
So paint me a picture
With a solution
Where I can see that somewhere out there
Wherever I am I’ll find again
Wherever I am I’ll find again
When all is broken on the floor
If I tried I could never again
Break it any more

When you think you’ve reached the bottom
But you’re still falling own
Who’ll pick up the pieces
Lying all around
Yeah, yeah

Well the touch of your hand I can feel on my skin
The heat from your breath as you close on in
Raise the hairs on my neck send a chill up my spine
As you move with your body in rhythm to mine

In my mind I can feel it
So real when I close my eyes
And the fire that burns for you
Inside me only you can ignite

All that I need is to hold you in my arms tonight
But you’re so far away
All I can do is think about you
To pass my time away
To pass my time away
Because I need you here with me, I need you here with me tonight

In my arms here you lay
In the morning glow
Your face shining in the sun stealing through the window
So I kiss your lips as you open your eyes
Before you hold me so tight as you whisper goodbye

In my mind I can feel it
So real when I close my eyes
And the fire that burns for you
Inside me only you can ignite

All that I need is to hold you in my arms tonight
But you’re so far away
All I can do is think about you
To pass my time away
To pass my time away
Oh, oh
Because I need you here with me, I need you here with me tonight

With me tonight
Oh yeah

Lying awake on my own the adrenaline flows through my veins with the blood that refuses to slow
And so I can’t sleep as insanity creeps up on me before I know

All that I need is to hold you in my arms tonight
But you’re so far away
All I can do is think about you
To pass my time away
To pass my time away
Oh, oh
Because I need you here with me, I need you here with me tonight

New year’s a distant memory
But I still feel the winter’s cold
Street lights glow as darkness creeps
Well the April sun
Wind blows

And it’s cold, it’s so cold
Clouds are grey or frozen blue
Can you feel the rain
Feel the rain
It’s falling down on you

No midsummer afternoon
Little droplets fall like tears
Hugging window panes like glue
Days turn to weeks or passing years
And it’s cold, it’s so cold
Clouds are grey or frozen blue
Can you feel the rain
Can you feel the rain
It’s falling down on you
It’s falling down on you

No midsummer afternoon
Little droplets fall like tears
Hugging window panes like glue
Days turn to weeks or passing years
And it’s cold, it’s so cold oh yeah
Clouds are grey or frozen blue
Can you feel the rain
Can you feel the rain
Oh it’s falling down on you, oh
Oh can you feel the rain, can you feel the rain
It’s falling down on you

I’ve been out all night dancing with my two left feet
With you at the party where you were looking so divine
But I drank myself stupid and I can’t stand up
Leaning on you baby as we’re waiting in the taxi line

All that I need is to lay my head
Because it’s thumping and I need my bed
But it’s alright in the morning
Alright in the morning
Alright in the morning
Yeah
When you know I’ll make it up to you

I’ve been out all night driving and I’m heading home
Listening to the sounds that are coming out my stereo
All I need to get me through
Is the heat on full
Outside is ten degrees below

It’s 3am I’m still a mile away
Sometimes I’m starting to hallucinate
I start to question the reason why
Being at the wheel all damn night

But it’s alright in the morning
Alright in the morning
Alright in the morning
Yeah
When you know I’ll make it up to you
To you

It’s alright in the morning
Alright in the morning
Alright in the morning
In the morning yeah, yeah
In the morning yeah, yeah
In the morning yeah, yeah
When you know I’ll make it up to you

Everywhere that I go
Somebody new
Try to drag me down low
They wanna tell me
How it should be
But they don’t even, even know me

If I were you
And you were me
And ’97 was ’93
Think you’d do better
Show me how
All you endeavour
Is to bring me down

To blind to see the warning
From the powers that be
I’m screaming help
Drag me away
‘Cause they’re trying to turn me
Upside down
Upside down
Whoa whoa whoah whoah
Upside down

Well everywhere that I go
Somebody new
Try to drag me down low
They wanna tell me
How it should be
But they don’t even, even know me

To blind to see the warning
From the powers that be
I’m screaming help
Drag me away
‘Cause they’re trying to turn me
Upside down
Upside down
Whoa whoa whoa whoa
Upside down

You say you can’t get minute
Drives you outta your mind
Oh when all that you want is
Is a moment of mine

You say my friend’s never see me
I’m never around
Always when somethings going on
I’m nowhere to be found

All the things that make me
Are the things I can’t help but be
Carry on I’m blind to it all
But oh can’t you see
It’s just disorderly me

I know that I never listen
I know that much is true
I’m always so wrapped up in everything that I do
I can’t get it together
How you cope with me
Nothing short of a miracle
Anyone can see

Because all the that make me
Are the things I can’t help but be
Carry on I’m blind to it all
But oh can’t you see
It’s just disorderly me
Disorderly me
Oh

All the things around me
Everything in my life
If I could just find a way to make it all alright
Disorderly me
Oh disorderly me
Disorderly me
Oh that’s me

They’re falling down
Down around my feet
Down on the ground
I’m standing here
And I call out your name
I can’t hear a sound

Who’s the one who’s gonna make it better
What I really need is to get away

You can’t take the pace
So you leave me standing here
Have you had enough
But can’t you make it clear
Well I wish you would
What you want and why you make it harder
What you really need is to get away
Get away

Can’t take the pace
So you leave me standing here
Have you had enough
But can you make it clear
I wish you would
What you want and why you make it harder
What you really need is to get away
