Seventh Dream of Teenage Heaven

A Private Future

Thinking of your private future You snatched at the trees In the starry dark green sleep Thinking of your private future You think at the river and set it flowing A late fog's lifting a fast wind's rising So you turn to reflect on your brief life Session slip Thinking of your private future Cut by the scars of timeless coming back Realize the unreachable is nothing Cool winds wash down your hope and you slipped Cool winds wash down your hope and you slipped God's good to the humble As the devil is to fools Stop looking back in anger Cause you can't change the rules Believe in where you're going But don't lose your yesterdays To terrify to cry its true Your life is just a game So I need a million dollars To sit on mountain tops To see the stars surround you Is to see an awful lot I see the work of sinners I see the work of saints So I see the work of everyone That's ever ever played Sleep without reason Your laughing masks your love You've got so many scars How does it feel deep in your heart? Cause when the covers blown over It'll crack up your skin So now you're drowning your sorrows In whiskey and sin Live the life you love Use a god you trust And don't take it all to seriously AHHHH AHHHH AHHHH AHHHH

Dog-End of a Day Gone By

There's a man on the corner Coming on like Moses Flogging new religion like a bunch of plastic roses He's found his path To the bleeding heart of jesus You tell him You've found yours Heir to a future You never made There is nothing less amusing Then the amusement arcade In a city without a soul Newspaper boys selling you the hard truth Lucifer employs idle hands by night and day Stuck at the dog-end of a day gone by, boy Stuck at the dog-end of a day gone by Stuck at the dog-end of a day gone by, boy Don't let the smoke get in your eyes Well the drunk outside the Wendy's Is becoming less than friendly A dog is barking at the moon The drunk outside the windy Is becoming less than friendly A dog is barking at the moon You want to get away From the city of light Then when you've gone You want to get back It is some strange addiction When you need to put yourself Back in your eye Stuck at the dog-end of a day gone by, boy Stuck at the dog-end of a day gone by Stuck at the dog-end of a day gone by, boy Don't let the smoke get in your eye Stuck at the dog-end of a day gone by, boy Stuck at the dog-end of a day gone by Stuck at the dog-end of a day gone by, boy Don't let the smoke get in your... Stub out the dog-end of a day gone by, boy

The Game

We're going to stay awake For as long as it takes We're going to stay awake For as long as it takes To correct all the silly mistakes we have made We're going to play a game We're going to play a game We're going to play the game again For as long as it takes again For something we don't really want at all One two three four Two two three four Three two three four One To win is to lose, to lose is to win To win is to lose, to lose is to win To win is to lose, to lose is to win To win is to lose, to lose is to win We're going to stay awake (To win is to lose, to lose is to win) We're going to stay awake (To win is to lose, to lose is to win) We're going to stay awake (To win is to lose, to lose is to win) We're going to stay awake (To win is to lose, to lose is to win)

If There's a Heaven Above

Throw the world off your shoulders tonight Mr. Smith Throw the world off your shoulders tonight Mr. Smith He's been looking now For a long time It seems the more he looks The less he wants to see He turned to the west For a long time He turned to the east Then he turned to the west again If there's a heaven above In the meantime If there's a heaven above Let it be near If there's a heaven above In the meantime Then let it be near Let it be near to me We've been talking now For a long time It seems the more we speak The less we seem to say If there's a hell below In the meantime Then let us shut up Unless we want to pray He saw everything real too clearly So close that the bones would show And to see everything so clearly Isn't always the best thing you know If there's a heaven above In the meantime If there's a heaven above Then let it be near If there's a heaven above In the meantime Let it be near, let it be near to me AHHHH AHHHH Throw the world off your shoulders tonight Mr. Smith Throw the world off your shoulders tonight Mr. Smith

Inside the Outside

To see beyond the outside It's to keep your thoughts alive With a song inside it's never cold With a song inside it's never cold outside To see beyond the outside It's to keep your thoughts alive With a song inside it's never cold With a song inside it's never cold outside ("If you've built something from the inside out, then you won't have any difficulty in penetrating from the outside in")

Seventh Dream of Teenage Heaven

Put all down to chemistry Put it all down to the heat The seminal spark of sexuality Put it all down to the heat There was magic in the air on a Saturday night It was tragic, it's there on the street The quicksilver and the Make your leopard-skin dream complete Intrigued by alcove whispers So you tore off your old school tie Facination found in strangeness And your sister's alien sigh Your sister's alien sigh Put all down to chemistry Put it all down to the heat The seminal spark of sexuality Put it all down to the heat To awake on sunday morning With a rose and blue tatoo Still there on the back of your skinny white hand Souvenir of the brave and the new Souvenir of the brave and the new It's the seventh dream of teenage heaven

Haunted When the Minutes Drag

The word that would best describe this feeling Would be haunted I touch the clothes you left behind That still retain your shape And I'm still haunted I trace the outline of your eyes Blue in the mirror Hypnotized and haunted I find a solitary hair Golden still I remenice I'm haunted Haunted by your soul Haunted by your hair Haunted by your clothes Haunted by your eyes By your soul, by your hair By your clothes, by your eyes By your voice, by your smile By your mouth, by your soul By your hair, by your clothes By your eyes, by your voice By your smile, by your mouth By your soul HAUNTED (haunted) So this is for when you feel happy And this is for when you feel sad And this is for when you feel... Nothing OOOOH when the minutes drag OOOOH when the minutes drag And this is for the tears that won't dry And this is for a bright blue sky And this is for when you feel... Lucky And this is for when you feel... Lucky OOOOH when the minutes drag OOOOH when the minutes drag So this is for when you're feeling happy again And this is for when you're feeling sad And this is for when you feel... Something OOOOH when the minutes drag OOOOH when the minutes drag HAUNTED (haunted) When the minutes drag HAUNTED (haunted) When the minutes drag OOOOH OOOOH
