And the train rushes past
Like a day gone too fast
And the train rushes past
Like a life gone too fast
Not a day goes by,
Not a single day
But you’re somewhere a part of my life
And it looks like you’ll stay.
Oh, I don’t believe it
It feels like yesterday
One moment I held her
And then she slipped away
Where can I run to, where can I go?
I know this heart’s got to make a new start
To find somebody new.
It’s already yesterday
We’re off the calendar
I heard the sirens play
Just like an orchestra
Mechanical bird of prey
Sing for your emperor
Last broken flash of love
Still in the camera
Take heart, I could never let you go
And you always let the feeling show
Love us all, how you never broke your heart
How you lose them if you feel the feeling start
I am a camera, camera, camera
I am a camera, camera, camera
I am a camera, camera, camera
Kodachrome
They give us those nice bright colors
They give us the greens of summers
Makes you think all the world’s a sunny day
I got a Nikon camera
I love to take a photograph
So mama don’t take my Kodachrome away
Oh, look what you’ve done to this rock ‘n’ roll clown
Oh, oh, look what you’ve done
Photograph - I don’t want your
Photograph - I don’t need your
Photograph - All I’ve got is a photograph
But it’s not enough
People take pictures of each other,
Just to prove that they really existed,
Just to prove that they really existed.
People take pictures of each other,
And a moment could last them forever,
Of the time when they mattered to someone.
And the children ran home sobbing and half blind
Said our lady has a message for mankind
Frightened and bewildered, not making any sense
Dazzled by the virgin in her radiance
People from the outside world want more evidence
Because a little bit of skepticism can go a long way,
sell 50 presale tickets and then you can play
all those dirty vegan punx, are so full of hate.
You’re the Nixon to my Watergate.
I shot Reagan, I shot Sadat
I’m gonna shot you dead in heaven you’ll rot
You’re gonna rot in heaven, hear an angel’s voice
You’re too bad for hell, although it’s you first choice
Some say that knowledge is something that you never have.
Some say that knowledge is something sat in your lap.
Some say that heaven is hell.
Some say that hell is heaven.
You think your soul is free
Look up and you’ll see me
The pearly gates ablaze
The angels bear the zombies’ gaze
Heaven’s on fire
And there ain’t nothing you can do
Heaven’s on fire
And when you die you’ll go there too
Sometimes, it’s like someone took a knife, baby, edgy and dull
And cut a six-inch valley through the middle of my skull
At night I wake up with the sheets soaking wet
And a freight train running through the middle of my head
Only you, can cool my desire
Oh Oh Oh, I’m on fire
Oh Oh Oh, I’m on fire
Oh Oh Oh, I’m on fire
Oh to find love’s hiding place
We are beggars and bootleggers
Fading embers caught out in the rain
Wondering what’s it take to burst into flames
Well, I argued all night like so many have before,
saying, “Whatever you give me, I seem to need so much more.”
Then she pointed at me where I kneeled on her floor,
she said, “Don’t try to use me or slyly refuse me,
just win me or lose me,
it is this that the darkness is for.”
Johnny take a dive
With your sister in the rain
Let her talk about the things
You can’t explain
To touch is to heal
To hurt is to steal
If you want to kiss the sky
Better learn how to kneel (on your knees boy!)
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Now touch me, baby
Can’t you see that I am not afraid?
What was that promise that you made?
Why won’t you tell me what she said?
What was that promise that you made?
I’m gonna love you
Till the heavens stop the rain
I’m gonna love you
Till the stars fall from the sky for you and I
I’m gonna love you forever
Forever and ever, Amen
Well I’ve heard those city singers singin’ 'bout how they can love,
Deeper than the oceans, higher than the stars above.
Well, I come from the country, and I know I ain’t seen it all.
But I heard that ocean’s salty, and the stars, they sometimes fall.
