By the rivers of Babylon  
Where he sat down  
And there he wept  
When he remembered Zion

The room has all gone misty,  
My thoughts are all in spin  
Sit down young stranger  
And tell us where you been

So I will follow you wherever you go  
If your offered hand is still open to me  
Strangers on this road we are on  
We are not two we are one

I could leave but I won’t go  
though my heart might tell me so  
I can’t feel a thing from my head down to my toes  
but why does it always seem to be  
me looking at you, you looking at me  
it’s always the same, it’s just a shame, that’s all

It’s a heartache  
Nothing but a heartache  
Hits you when it’s too late  
Hits you when you’re down

</div>

Somebody’s gonna hurt someone  
before the night is through  
Somebody’s gonna come undone.  
There’s nothin’ we can do.  
Everybody wants to touch somebody  
if it takes all night.  
Everybody wants to take a little chance,  
Make it come out right.

There’s gonna be a heartache tonight,  
a heartache tonight, I know.  
There’s gonna be a heartache tonight, I know.  
Lord, I know.

I need to feel your heartbeat (heartbeat)  
So close it feels like mine…

I remember the feeling,  
My hands in your hair.  
I remember the feeling,  
Of the rhythm we made (the rhythm we made)

</div>

The flames are getting higher in effigy  
Burning down the bridges of my memory  
Love may still be alive somewhere someway  
Where they’re downing only deer  
A hundred steel towns away

Oh rhythm of my heart is beating like a drum  
With the words i love you rolling off my tongue  
No never will I roam for I know my place is home  
Where the ocean meets the sky  
Ill be sailing

Born down in a dead man’s town

</div>

You cant hold the rope the rope down  
Cause I’ll be breaking out  
This spirits gotta be free  
I hit the ground running running running  
So don’t go following me

I know your falling so deep  
Your just like a ball  
Cause you cant hide your love  
No, no, no with camouflage

</div>

If I am frightened, then I can hide it  
If I am crying, I’ll call it laughter  
If I am haunted, I’ll call it my imaginary friend  
If I am bleeding, I’ll call it wine

But if you leave me, then I am broken  
And if I’m broken, then only death remains.

</div>

Whenever I feel afraid  
I hold my head erect  
And whistle a happy tune  
So no one will suspect  
I’m afraid.

While shivering in my shoes  
I strike a careless pose  
And whistle a happy tune  
And no one ever knows  
I’m afraid.

The result of this deception  
Is very strange to tell  
For when I fool the people  
I fear I fool myself as well!

Chin up  
Chin up  
Everybody loves a happy face  
Wear it  
Share it  
It’ll brighten up the darkest place

Got no human grace your eyes without a face.  
I spend so much time  
Believing all the lies  
To keep the dream alive  
Now it makes me sad  
It makes me mad at truth  
For lovin’ what was you.  
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
