Lyrics

Lions In Cages

In the city where I’m from
There are lovers ‘til the dawn
And you stayed up to see the sun
I couldn’t wait that long

CHORUS
Who’s gonna get up after we’re gone
Who’s gonna get up after we fall
Who’s gonna pick up what we’ve done wrong
Who’s gonna get up after we’re gone

In the city where I’m from
Lions in cages just for fun
But you will pace around your cage
And wait for night to come
In the city where I’m from
They shoot you down if you’re wrong
But we don’t stop to check the time
‘Cos time keeps moving on and on and on

BRIDGE
I’ve seen you in another place
Eyes beckon familiar face
The city joins us with hands of grace
Hands free there are no constraints
Just ignore all that you see
The illusion of you and me
Illusions come illusions go
And if I leave you’ll never grow old

In the city where I’m from
There are lovers ‘til the dawn
And you stayed up to see the sun
I couldn’t wait that long

Something Unusual

When the time moves faster than a bullet from a gun
When we’re secretly unravelling coming undone
When you’re looking all around but you just don’t see
Oh why won’t you lay down your little heart for me
We’d be something out of this world
Never seen before

I feel that there’s a look in your eye
The silent cry to be something unusual
To be something unusual

Like a sunset etched right across your face
Won’t you paint me the colours of a warm embrace
And I know that you’re nervous and feeling it too
But to give this a shot is the least we can do
We’d be something out of this world
Never seen before

And I feel that there’s a look in your eye
The silent cry to be something unusual
To be something unusual

Why don’t you lay down your little heart for me
Come on and lay down your little heart for me

Stay & Defend

Everybody always seems to talk about
The light of the hills on fire
Create a hype and then turn it around
You turn me to conspire
What to do, who to see?
I can tell a joke but this one’s on me
And now I’m falling down, falling out
Falling backwards far behind you

CHORUS
Don’t go, don’t be tired
You give a world then you set it on fire
All forgiven in the end, maybe we run
Or maybe we stay and defend

Now everybody always seems to talk about
The sun setting in the west
Do we give up, just enjoy the light
And say we did our best?
What to do, who to see?
When we both know that we can’t agree
And now I’m falling down, falling out
Falling backwards, got me falling backwards now
Now everybody always seems to talk about, the light of the hills on fire

Suego Faults

You wait so long to find…
Define your body by the lights of the circus show
I try to understand
But you say logic is a thing that I will never know
Two can play the games you play
Where will you go running when the crowds leave?
Travelling all on your own
You say you’re strong but I know everyone bleeds…
I want to know if you’ll go with me to Suego Faults
It’s hard to draw the line
And walk across it when you can’t see the safety net
And everywhere I go
Everybody living in someone else’s debt
Two can play the games you play
Where will you go running when the crowds leave?
Travelling all on our own
The world seems small when I have you beside me…
I want to know if you’ll go with me to Suego Faults
Running to Suego Faults
Running to Suego Faults
Two can play the games you play
Where will you go running when the crowds leave?
Travelling all on your own
You say you’re strong but I know everyone bleeds…
I want to know if you’ll go with me to Suego Faults

The King and All Of His Men

Well you can fight it but you know that you won’t get your way in the end
Too many people, the King and all of his men
And if you’re dealing a line of cards
Won’t you take me to the queen of hearts?
And if you’re trying to tear down what you see
Pack up the stars before you come for me
And if you’re dealing a line of fate
Who’s going to tell her the reason I’m late?

CHORUS
You took her soul, so incomplete
Why don’t you stop fighting me?
You’re in control so why should you be
Fighting me? Fighting me? Fighting me?

How to be sure that what you say is the truth
When I see flaws in everything that you do?
And if I’m passing a sentence on you
I would give you the crown for a fool
And now you’ve lost, there’s nothing left to defend
You came so close to the King and all of his men
And if you’re dealing in a trick of the light
I need to see her face for one last time

Back To Back

When the whole world is sleeping I still lie up in my bed
As I came round to thinking that I don’t want nobody else
I want to be with you, it kills me to say
That I want to be with you, that is just the way
It’s just the way now

CHORUS
Sleeping with my back to yours
Back to back, and back to back we’re stronger
Sleeping with my back to yours don’t walk away don’t walk away

When the whole world is thinking that I must be depressed
The point that they’re missing is that I don’t want nobody else
I want to be with you, it kills me to say
That I want to be with you, that is just the way
It’s just the way now

Sleeping with my back to yours
Back to back, and back to back we’re stronger
Sleeping with my back to yours don’t walk away don’t walk away

Midnight Dancers

Here we go again
On the cobbled streets of Paris we’ll go dancing round the square
And everyone will stop and stare at the lovers of the night
Time has drifted on, but we still do it right

CHORUS
Isn’t it enough now that you know our chance is gone
To have you for tonight, you’ve had me all along
Isn’t it enough now that you can hardly breathe
Oh just stay here, stay tonight with me, all times

Well I’ve danced the floors of a thousand rooms
And I picked you up and it all felt new
What d’you think they’re gonna do
If we chose to run and broke the rules
But you will never break them with me
Yeah you will never break them with me
I keep trying to move on, there’s something in the way
You’ve had me for so long, and it’s the way it always stays
Trying to move on, there’s something in the way…

Dancing With The Devil

If you’re the chosen one
How does it feel to be loved by no one?
If you’re the number one
Where do you run to can you hide behind the sun?
And you hide there with your demons
And you wait for night to come

CHORUS
They say that there’s no oxygen again
You’re forcing down the lies, but you always get your way
Something tells me this was all arranged
You trick me once again
They call you Lucifer
The fires are burning and you look the other way
I saw the funeral
I watch the Devil as he dances round me
But he dances with the fever, and spreads the plague of War

BRIDGE
Do you really want to drag me down
And take me to the gates of Hell?
No more dancing with the stars
I did it all for you back then
And look at me now, I’m half the prisoner
Half the man; this life is resting in your hands

Where Are You Now

I tried to move I could not see
Yeah you had got a hold on me again
And everywhere I turned I saw your face
You made my world a pretty place back then

CHORUS
So where are you now where are you now?
So where are you now where are you now?
So where are you now where are you now?
So where are you now where are you now?

And in the day and in the night
Nothing could equal your sight to me
And I don’t know why we didn’t stay
And leave it like it was supposed to be
Oh now every time that I stand still
Silences of rolling hills go by
And in them I can see your face
But I will never know that place will I?

BRIDGE
Hey girl you got a hook on me
I tried to find you but I could not see
And if you ever want to come back to me, ooh
You’re a strange girl you got a hook on me
The morning comes to take away this dream
But if you ever want to come back to me, ooh

Planets

The lights are frozen, see them spinning round my head
Planets turning, but who’s to say they’re really there
Because illusions serve to trick my mind
And I just want to go out tonight, I hate the thought of being here alone
But there’s nothing going on down the streets now the bars have all shut down
And Suego Faults was just a dream that I’m waking up from now
And I’d love to watch you spinning around but I’m running out of time
The sky’s been playing with kaleidoscopic fires
Undulating, but I can’t escape the feeling
That while I’m looking left and looking right
There’s something missing out there tonight, I never seem to find what I desire
So I’ll spill out under the frozen lights
And I’ll waltz until I’m drunk
And if tomorrow the sun should rise a new day has begun
But I spend my whole life spinning round, and never moving on…
Come on, fight on
Here’s what I’m telling you
Dream of love songs
It’s all you’ll ever do
Somehow you’ll survive it
You’ll go spinning on your own
