Another sigh with no regret
More coins inside her hands
One time to own respect
Now mercenary she stands
I'm no boy stealing pennies from the poor
Break it down
Can't you see she's the dum-dum girl
Another hand upon her hair
Time probably erased distaste
And so she's left outside of guilt
Break it down
Can't you see she's the dum-dum girl
Such a shame to believe in escape. 'A life on every face'
But at least it's a change, until I'm finally left with
the '8'. Tell me to relax. I just stare. Maybe I don't know if
I should change a feeling that we share.
It's a shame, such a shame.
Number me with rage
Number me in haste
This eagerness to change the dice decide my fate
In these trembling hands my faith tells me to react
"I don't care" Maybe it's unkind if I should change
It's a shame
Number me with rage
Number me in haste
Write across my name 'Such a Shame'
Well baby how the weeks fade
Baby was the best part of your youth a sensation
Yeah, that's a change
I never thought I'd end up fooling you
D'you hear what they say?
All these people living up in our street, well they say
"Out of touch, she lives in faded dreams"
Renée
Baby how the weeks fade
Baby how the streets change
And maybe when the cheat plays
Maybe when the ace falls from his suit
And he tells you
"Yeah that's the game. I didn't want to lose it on the two"
You're playing his way, but the prize that you've been
losing is youth
And I say
"Throw the ace, and face up to the truth"
Renée Baby how the weeks fade Baby how the streets change
But baby as the weeks fade, and we've seen quite a few,
I don't know who's fooling who
I'm fooling you
Funny how I find myself in love with you
If I could buy my reasoning I'd pay to lose
One half won't do
I've asked myself
How much do you commit yourself?
It's my life (Don't you forget)
Funny how I blind myself
I never knew if I was sometimes played upon
Afraid to lose, I'd tell myself what good you do
Convince myself
It's my life
How much do you commit yourself?
It's my life
Don't you forget
Caught in the crowd
It's my life
Don't look back until you try a line so openly a lie, so openly alive
"Outside of you, it's just tomorrow starting"
I've said I'm wrong when I've been right. I've seen times when I've
been sure but still I find I'm just the first that you take are
there reasons everybody pays? They never seem to be any use.
Don't look back until you've tried. With time you'll endlessly arrive
outside of use, with just tomorrow starting
See my eyes tell me I'm not lying. I'm just the
first that you take are there reasons everybody pays?
They never seem to be any use
It's just tomorrow starting
One by one every courtesy is gone and the show begins
Bring on the clowns
Pain is quiet
I've laughed at silence for the last time
Let the show begin for the last time
Sometimes one, sometimes each of us is wrong but the show begins
Bring on the clowns blind to reason
These eyes are dreaming for the last time
Smiling sweetly doubt may leave me for the last time
Let the show begin for the last time
Let the show begin
Let the show begin
Say goodnight
Every hour is the morning of my life
Out of time
Every step I take is further down the line
Here I stand left behind
My eyes open wide
If you need me you should try calling the night boy
Out of tune
Every breath I take I take it over you
I don't care what people say
I don't care
Night is Day
I'll remember if you say call in the night boy
Try calling the night boy
Maybe when the heat's away you're fine. To put another drink away
is out of line. It's so easy with a thief to blame for breaking
every pledge I've made. Does it matter if I can't say Caroline
knows?
Every little accident takes time. Forget about mistakes I've made
they're left behind, they're left behind.
It's so easy with a thief to blame.
Say it again
Heart of stone
Red on your face
So alone
Say it again and I'll know it's you
God only knows
Why do lies about this girl bother you? Time is waiting to explain
Why refuse?
It's you
Say it again
Heart of sand
Tears on your face "Nothing stands"
God only knows I've noticed you
Say it again
Why do lies about this girl bother you?
Time is waiting to explain
Why refuse?
It's you
Talk in rhymes about the world watching you
Tired of waiting to explain.
