Somewhere In Between

Give a child a
bag of nails
and he’ll
build a ship.
Sail it out
across the streets
watch it sink.

I guess you never had to fly
Down in Hollywood
I guess you’ll never had to fly
Down in Hollywood

Give a child a
broken stick
and he’ll
build a fire.
Set the flames
Call the engine
Watch them burn

I guess it never rains it pours
Down in Hollywood
I guess it never rains it pours
Down in Hollywood

I believe in
You
Na na na na…
I believe in
You
Na na na na…

Just sucking my thumb
Feeling the world’s embrace
Wondering who’s out there in the shadows
Turn my faith to my face

Scratch my eye
On the world that I can’t see
I find myself wandering in the shadows
Do you know just what I mean…

Oh no, I can’t feel this in my heart
Oh God, I’m lost in the memories
or somewhere in between
If I could start again
I’d start it in my heart
Oh God, I’m lost in the memories
or somewhere in between

I can move my arms
I can feel the worlds’ embrace
Now I’m wandering in the shadows
Turn my face to my face
I close the door
On the world that I can’t see
I’m still wandering out here in the shadows
But you know just what I mean.

Oh no, I can’t feel this in my heart
Oh God, I’m lost in the memories
or somewhere in between

And if I could start again
I’d start it in my heart
Oh God, I’m lost in the memories
or somewhere in between.

Chorus to fade…
Oh no, I can’t feel this in my heart
Oh God, I’m lost in the memories…………………..

There’s a shadow hanging over me
It lights the darkness
It’s like a brother to me.

There’s this shadow hanging over me
It lights the darkness
It’s like a lover to me

There’s a shadow hanging over me
It lights the darkness
It’s like a mother to me

There’s a shadows hanging over me
It lights the darkness
It’s a brother to me

But I won’t help you now
Let it burn
But it won’t help me now
Let it burn

Let It Burn (cont…)

There’s this shadow hanging over me
It lights the darkness
Like a mother to me

But it won’t help me now
So let it burn
But it won’t help me now
Let it burn

Let it burn
Just let it burn
You can’t help me now

You can’t help me now
Let it burn

Let me sleep beside you
Safe inside your hands
As the hour‘s moving on
I’ll be creeping from your bed
And if you understand the way this ends
Then you will understand it all
I can feel it’s almost over
I can feel that in your dreams

We believed in something
And we believe it’s right
All along the status quo
There’s something in your sight
And if you understand the way this ends
Then you’ll understand it all
I can feel it’s almost over
I can sense that’s what you need

How can I
Explain
To you
I’m engulfed
by all
this pain
Hold out your hands

Hold out your Hands cont…

Sounds like early warning
Like there’s something in the air
All in all you’re moving on
You’re moving from despair
I get caught up in the faces
I get cornered when I’m scared
I’ve blown away the atoms
And I’ve blown away my cares

How can I
Explain
To you
I’m engulfed
by all
this pain
Hold out your hands

Hold out your hands
Hold out your hands

Have you seen the mess you’ve made
Pick up all the pieces
Broken and thrown away
Can you understand my voice
We could talk about
One last conversation about

It is time to reconvene
We can talk outside
Blind man lead the way
I don’t know how this begins
We could talk about
One last conversation about

Have you seen the mess you’ve made
All the words you use
Are tainted – they slither out
You can make your own way home
We could talk about
One last conversation about

Put out the fire now sing
Put out the fire now sing

Pull all the banners over me
Pull all the banners over me

Put out the fire now say
Put out the fire now say

Pull all the badges off of me
Pull all the badges off of me

Now the time has come to say it’s over
Now the time has come to say goodnight

I watched him on the outside

Slipping in the water

Caught him in my headlights

I caught him in the full moon

I guess I’ll never know

What drove him to the lake side

I guess I’ll never know

Why he slipped into the water.

It was twenty-five to ten

I was talking to my daughter

We caught a final glimpse

As he slipped into the water

I guess I’ll never know

this story was unfolding

I guess I’ll never know

We’re witness to this carnage

He stood there on the shore

Staring in the darkness

With his feet there in the dust

Just like I did

How was I to know

As he dived into the water

I saw him coming up for air

Just like I did

I watched him in the water

Slipping into the darkness

But I caught him in my headlights

And I caught him in the full moon

I guess I’ll never know

Who drove him to the lake side

And I guess I’ll never know

Why he slipped into the water

He stood there on the shore

Staring in the darkness

With his feet there in the dust

Just like I did

But how was I to know

As he dived into the water

Saw him coming up for air

Just like I did
