Take a train to the sea
Stay up all night ..and be
It only takes a fraction of a second
To turn your life upside down

Take a train to the sea
Be anyone you want to be
A little spark of light inside your mind
Safe and sound off the ground upside down

Wide awake at the edge of the world

You're a decadent in chrysalis
Waiting sleepily to emerge
When you'll visit every seedy need
Of your random obsessive urge

All the ruses that you use
All the food that you refuse
All the dust and tired air that feeds Interior Lulus
All the poisoned attitudes
And the lust for the unknown
And the second best that devils use
To make this world their own

Interior Lulu
Interior Lulu

Use the anger
Paint a picture of it
Throw the colours
Use the pain, use the pain
Scream back a brand new emotion
As it runs across the skin
Fire across paper
Burn and curl, burn and curl

You thought you couldn't feel like this
But it's happening again and you're waking up in pain
Tattooed in that private place
Microsoft and tears
Intimately pierced

She told me what I already know

"If you can carry it out you can take it away
If you can carry it out you can take it away
If you can buy it, it can be bought
If you can buy it, it can be stolen
If you can break it
It's already broken"

Lately, I can stand to hear other people talking
So many empty conversations
What a waste of lips
Lately I can stand to stand on Primrose Hill
Look down upon the city
A heart pumping the roads
In our racing stripes
We rejoice at being "connected"
Without touching
Thank god for the internet
We stare at our screens
All our lives
What a waste of eyes
'Till the electrical storm blows our fuses
And we gaze, dumbfounded, at the rain

What did she say?
I know the pain of too much tenderness
Wondering when or if you'll come back again
Wanting to live for you
And being banned from giving
But only love will turn you around
Only love will turn you around
Only love
Only love will turn you around

Things come wrapped up in time
Like the past in a present
Or the perfect line in a song

They take their time
And when they're gone
They take their time with them

And you can't have them back
Because the time for them has gone
And their time has gone with them
The time for them has gone.

There's an echo of them
An echo of  the time they were wrapped in
Sweet or bitter in the memory
But an echo is all, it's all I can reach now

An echo of you

An echo of you in your time
Still echoing
Like a star in the sky 
Like a star in the sky above me

And the story of it's life
Told backwards down this rod of light
But at it's beginning.. 
Long extinct.

The space around the stars
Is something that you know
A billion miles of darkness
Left your feeling low
The space around the stars
Is something that you know

On top of the world like a flag on a mountain
Feeling so high you can feel so alone
Unable to breathe at the height that you flew
Staring on clouds with no view of below

On top of a girl like a dream in a hotel
Falling towards something out of control
Unable to miss like the man in the tram
Crashing your car in Amsterdam

The space around the stars
Is something that you know
A billion miles of darkness
Left your feeling low
The space around the stars
Is something that you know

Everything about you
So perfectly restrained
But everything inside you
Bites you

The space around the stars
Is something that you know
A billion miles of darkness
Left your feeling low
The space around the stars
Is something that you know

Everybody in the whole of the world
Feels the same inside
Everybody in the whole of the world lives and loves and eats and sleeps and grows and dies

Well I hear you got my number and you want my name
I'm a stream of naughts and crosses in your
R-A-M
But you know that love can be as hard as algebra
Baby nothing else has ever been as hard as love

Well I hear that you were lookin' out to take me home
And I hear that you can handle it and you're not scared
Have you heard about the pictures on my bedroom wall?
Baby nothing else has ever been as hard as love

It makes you hungry and it makes you high
It makes you suffer and it makes you cry
It makes you panic and it makes you vain
It makes you primitive and sick inside
It makes you angry and it makes you blind
It makes you guilty and it makes you lie
Tied up and beaten
Spat out and eaten
Suicidal
Nothing's ever been as hard

It makes you hungry and it makes you high
It makes you suffer and it makes you cry
But it's all worthwhileIt makes you humble and it makes you crawl
It makes you tremble and it makes you fall
But it's all worthwhile
It makes you desperate and it makes you dream
It makes you dangerous and it makes you scream
But it's all worthwhile
It makes you angry and it makes you blind
Makes you guilty and it makes you lie
But it's all worthwhile

Well I hear that were lookin' out to change my faith
You can bash me with your book of words and hammer me down
But you know that love can be as hard as six inch nails
Baby nothing else has ever been as hard as love

And every time I smile d'you wonder if I'm laughin' at you?
And with every little grin you don't want to be wonderin'
Just exactly what it is I'm taking pleasure in

Although I always said
We were basically the same and all one
All one
It's so easy to persuade myself
That I'm clockwork and you're quartz
I'm clockwork and you're quartz

You're only happy when you're oiled and jewelled
You're only happy when you wind me up
And I know You're so reliable it isn't true
And it's so easy for me to break down
If I could jump a ride between the skin and silicon then
We could join hands and understand. Hallelujah!
But I listen
to the ticking
I guess we're worlds apart ...
It's so hard
So hard
So hard

Did you ever fall in love
Did you ever fall in love
Did you ever fall in love
Did you ever dream of falling

If my heart were a ball
It would roll uphill
If my heart were a ball
It would roll uphill

We are alone in the world
We must do what we feel we should
We are told what is right
Need hurts within us
We can see sense
We can feel what feels right
And so often
All these things are not at all the same
They're not at all the same

If my heart were a ball
It would roll uphill
If my heart were a ball
It would roll uphill

hard ball dream love now roll
fall clown space truth time
race give fruit all one wild
church state god fast as I could cry
laugh hide feel no will
to win sweet seed you me
hard ball dream love now roll
fall clown space truth stay give..

You're only human
So am I
It's such a shame we have these secrets and lies
That get discovered from time to time

Whatever rises eventually falls
The world turns and it turns on us all
You can't live life without making mistakes
You can't live trying to keep the outside world away

It's time to stop
Beating yourself up

It's not your fault
It's not your fault
It's not your fault

I broke a mirror
Maybe two
Shattered reflections
That's all I have of you
Crackin like eggshell beneath my fear
I could'nt breathe
I could'nt keep the outside world away
Oh dear
When you lie down to sleep
Repeat after me

It's not your fault
It's not your fault
It's not your fault
We're both so tired

It's not your fault
It's just the way we're wired

I wonder if a king still fishes there
His back towards the burned-out air
His laughing catches singing loud
The memory of water

Your taste is blood and ecstasy
But I must drink you all alone
You're freckled like a speckled egg
A dove, but this bird has flown

O stay with me sweet memory
O stay with me

I wonder if my rope's still hanging from the tree
By the standing pool where you drank me
As pain flows through me like champagne
Of the memory of water

A wise man once said
A flower is only
A sexual organ
Beauty is cruelty
And evolution
A wise man once said
that everything could be explained with mathematics
He had denied
His feminine side
Now where is the wisdom in that?

I came just as fast as I could
Through the dirty air
Of your neighbourhood
Your name on a grain of rice
Hangin' around my neck
And a head like lead

This is the 21st century
I heard everything they said
The Universe demystified
Chemicals for God
This is the 21st century

A wise man once wrote
That love is only
An ancient instinct
For reproduction
Natural selection
A wise man once said
That everything could be explained
And it's all in the brain

"This is the 21st century
I heard everything you said
The universe demystified
Astronomy instead
This is the 21st century
Can't you get it through your head
This ain't the way it was meant to be
Magic isn't dead
Come to bed
Come to bed

And rest your heavy head my love.."

And slowly, from above,
She showed the answer's something that can't be written down

This is the 21st century
It's flash to crash and burn
Nobody's gonna give you anything
For nothing in return
There's a man up in a mirrored building
And he just bought the world
Would you want
Your own kids
Growing up
Into what's left of this?
She shook her head,
She said "Can't you see?
The world is you
The world is me."
