Oh dear, what have you done
You left me strewn all over the floor
Oh dear, what kind of fun
You left me dying for some more
Take me on that quest
Into the fray
Grant me this one request
Don't ever stray away
Oh what a messy girl
Oh what a messy girl
Oh dear, what have you done
You scattered me without a care
Oh dear, that's all a run/life's all around [1:20]
And everything is everywhere
You know the prince met a ??? [2:08]
It sees it [0:07] falling into the slide
Wax and wane on, on easy sands of time
Who needs who now
Why am I crying, was thinking here so sublime
Here nor there it was hardly fair, something's left behind
Who needs who now
Tell me something, tell me something to believe in
Show me someone, show me someone who knows
Round and round we go in a race without a reason
But where it ends, please let me know
It sees it [1:20] thinking we were all fine
Wax and wane, oh it's so plain that you've changed your mind
Who needs who now
Please let me know
Please let me know
Who needs who now
Who needs who now
Looks like we've come undone
But each piece feels more than complete
An army of angels is striking me out
An ocean of notions is lapping your feet
And I know what all of them will say
That this makes no sense at all
Looks like we've come undone
But together we'll encircle the coals
Now don't cover you're eyes when you're looking surprised
Cause the sum of the parts far exceeds the whole
And I know what all of them will say
That they've heard this all before
Take me outside myself
Where seconds seem like months
You move me and lose me
In all directions at once
Take me outside myself
You move me and lose me
In all directions at once
I thought you'd be waiting for me there
I thought you'd be waiting for me there
I looked around, the scene was changing
On the cat walk
On the cat walk
Ashes fall like rain
Ashes fall like rain
I thought there'd be flowers everywhere
I thought there'd be flowers everywhere
I took a bow
It seemed like I was on a cat walk
On the cat walk
On the cat walk
On the cat walk
Well I tried so hard to improve your mind
To turn this water back into wine
I'll mend your happy's, I'll bend your ways
I'll turn this evil night straight back into day
And when I'm laying down the law
I've never been so very sure
That I'm holy, holier than thou
Holy, holier and how [1:06, 2:10]
Holy, holier than thou
Holy, holier and how [1:18, 2:23]
Well I tried so hard to improve your kind
Come join this mad march or get left behind
I change your whole life without a blow
I tell you things that nobody knows
Because I'm wholly holy
I'm wholly holy
I'm wholly holy
I'm wholly holy
Holy
I throw it on out [0:14] a thousand times or more
Behind your face there's a place I haven't seen before
But now oh I'm aware of the problems people cause
Step over the lines and junk, breaking all the laws
The corner of my room is furnished in reflection
It offers me brief sanctuary
Open the doors wherever you will
Heads will turn but we don't have to talk about it
A benefit of the doubt
I heard your excuse, it sent me to the floor
You were so sure that nothing mattered anymore
But now oh I'm aware of the problems I dis-cause [1:24]
To lose your heads cause they're starring on the walls [1:30]
A benefit of the doubt
[rev. July 22, 2003]
There's this alien space, there's no more private place you can find
They got things there, man, that'll make you wish you were blind
They gotta hate Mr. Skateboards moving down the gate
Terrorizing peoples or the person and you hate
They got a black machines with the products with a sinister mind
See that world spin you around
See that world
Wild, wild planet
There's a cluster of stars wondering what you are tonight
Then prove a plan ??? [1:31] giving up a terrible lie
You got a violent disease that'll bring you to your knees
Bowing to your senses and ignoring all your pleas
You got a lot of good assistants eager to ignore your plight
See that world you're a ??? [3:22]
See that world
Wild, wild planet
See that world
See that world
Wild, wild planet
I took the stage
My eyes were glued wide open
The crowd was kind
But the cast were into loopin'
My scene was set
And my character was taken
The house was full
And I realized I was naked
And the fool is the best part
That I have ever played
I took a seat
And I watched you from a distance
You missed your que
And I offered you assistance
I don’t know my lines
But I understand the story
I broke her leg
And I stumbled to my glory
Look at you now
You couldn't let me anywhere
What is that sound
And is there any substance there
Where are you now
Sleeping in her bed and lies
Who'd ever guessed
That you'd become what we most despise
When I'll try to understand
How those precious little demands
Turned you against all that you believed in
When I'll try to understand
How you let me down
You charlatan
Where do it go
That noble youth made a poor nightstand
I don't believe that necessity tied up your hands
Everyone knows, they see it written in your eyes
What will you show
That you've been stripped of your best disguise
I don't believe
I don't believe
So, if it was only you
You know just what to do
I suppose you'd think that's civilized
You see, a maverick history
Background of mercury
It's nothing that you haven't tried
As you drift into a total misconception
As you shift into a failing frame of mind
The captain's drunk and we're losing all direction
I don't even know what we came out here to find
As you drift into a total misconception
As you shift into a failing frame of mind
The wind has died and we're fighting slow infection
I don't even know what we came out here to find
From now on
I don't expect to arrange the world in my only way
The seasons don't have to change every time I ??? [1:02]
I won't slip back into the darkness, come what may
From now on
From now on
The thirst for being first has not occurred to me
The last long-livered past won't last, eternally
I've given up, I'm giving up with futility
From now on
(From now on)
From now on
