My spine is the bassline, and the top line could be broken glass all amusing views of those better men dirty habits’ hand on the purses’ strings Quiet fear of the passing time gently magnify the dividing line all this history could be blown away on a breath of lust Trajectory, synchronicity, how the choice is made with a fresh resolve jamming tight up to the barrier down a string of nerves so these feelings go My spine is the bassline and the top line is the distant past all that history, all those books have gone they’ve been blown away on a breath of lust ---

I remember a time My frail, virgin mind Watched the crimson sunrise Imagined what it might find Life was filled with wonder I felt the warm wind blow I must explore the boundaries Transcend the depth of winter’s snow Innocence caressing me I never felt so young before There was so much life in me Still I longed to search for more But those days are gone now Changed like a leaf on a tree Blown away forever Into the cool autumn breeze The snow has now fallen And my sun’s not so bright I struggle to hold on With the last of my might In my den of inequity Viciousness and subtlety Struggle to ease the pain Struggle to find the sane Ignorance surrounding me I’ve never been so filled with fear All my life’s been drained from me The end is drawing near ‘Carpe diem, seize the day’ I’ll always remember The chill of November The news of the fall The sounds in the hall The clock on the wall ticking away ‘Seize the Day’ I heard him say Life will not always be this way Look around Hear the sounds ---

I can hear her heart beat, it seams a little strong I can hear the things that I did wrong I can hear her thoughts by looking in her eyes I can hear her all the times she cried I can hear the memories as they echo off the wall Falling from the pictures down the hall Now I can hear regret building up in side of me And I can hear all the things I could not see Those are the sounds of a woman leaving Stronger then the wind in a willow tree And those are the sounds of a heart breaking You can’t hear it but the noise is killing me ---

We must close the gate so she can’t return We’ll seal her fate, watch her temple burn And we’ll capture her soul in the chambers of crimson sleep And there she will suffer eternally for what she has done to man We fought our way into her dwelling-place We searched the corridors of this infernal maze To seek our enemy the one to slay We are the ones, we will not obey A disillusioned servant with great knowledge in her secrets We found him walking aimlessly trying to find his peace He said: _“Cover her eyes, they are the root of her inhuman forces. Then she’s just the child you thought she were, disconnect all her sources.”_ They found a way to blind her and it could cost some lives But they must seal the entry from where all evil derives Two of the brave ones were sent to distract her While the others made their way to behind her throne She saw her enemies for the last time as their leader covered her eyes We saw the return of innocence, the symbol of purity we once knew We carried her to the chambers to forever lock-up her soul The uncovered arise and the crimson waters impaired all life’s demise And now the reborn earth, blessed with the gift of birth Can see her in this cage that eternally preserves her rage They captured all her soldiers and forever encaged their cries They had found a new leader to worship A king with her clear-blue eyes. ---

Looking for a penny on an empty beach I’ve been looking for a lover who has eyes to see While I’m here I wanna walk with you, hold you hand In the sun, in the sun, in the sun, in the sun Turquoise eyes, the color I need to get clean The forest burns, and with it something inside me Looking for a way to leave the world today But the world is gonna leave itself anyway While I’m here I wanna walk with you, hold your hand In the sun, in the sun, in the sun Turquoise eyes, the color I need to get clean The forest burns, and with it something inside me Together, together, together, together Together, in the sun ---

Did I ask you for your love? Did I ask you for your dedication? I don’t want, I don’t want your love. I don’t want, I don’t want your affection. But I’ve got to have the car, I need it for the weekend. I’ve got to have the stereo, And a couple of deletions. I’ve got to have the freezer, Put some fun back in my eating. I’ve got to have it all, until I’m complete. I want a new toy, to keep my head expanding. I want a new toy, nothing too demanding. Then when everything is in roses, everything is static. Yeah my new toy, you’ll find us in the attic. ---

When I was just a wee little boy. Full of health and joy. One Christmas morning I received A marvelous little toy. A wonder to be hold it was Many colours bright. And the moment I layed eyes on it It became my heart’s delight. It went “zzzip” when it moved, “Bopp” when it stopped, “Brrr” when it stood still. I never knew just what it was And I guess I never will. ---

Makes me wonder how I got, The way I used to be. Something in my head, Just simply made a mess of me. Then you told me love was possible, You told me I was free. You came throwing colours 'round my blues You came throwing colours, All around my blacks and grays, While I stood in wonder you just opened up my days. Let me tell you what you did to me, I want to shout the news. You came throwing colours 'round my blues, You came throwing colours 'round my blues. ---

Don’t you look back on a big lost world Crying out tomorrow Don’t you look down like the heroes say Come tell me all about it Take me to the streets where the bonfires burn Take me in your arms and I’ll fade away When I hear you say what you got to say Anywhere you go, you know I’ll still be waiting All the things she said, she said Little darling close your eyes, there’ll be no compromising Of all the things she said, she said Throw me to the street where the heartbeats beating “Beating all around me” To the peaceful revolution And the perfect wave, surround me Tell me 'bout the ocean moving in slow motion I see it glitter in the sun Then it’s freezing in the moonlight Never look back, never look back, never look away If freedom comes and goes, you know I’ll still be waiting All the things she said, she said You’ve fought the fight so long, no surrender to temptation Of all the things she said, she said Stars will fall out for you Luck will surrender I’m calling out to you [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/game-speak-to-me-only-in-song-lyrics/658502.md?page=223) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/game-speak-to-me-only-in-song-lyrics/658502.md?page=225)
