WE SHOULD DANCE
*****************************************


START
*****************************************

it's a good time
to break your heart
no one ever knows
where they're at

it's a good time
to play hard
it's a good time to start

it's a good time
to paint it black
know one ever knows
when they're coming back

it's a good time
to play it hard
it's a good time
for a start

BEAUTIFUL BELIEVER
*****************************************

i saw a photograph
in a dream last night
a scene i once knew
was frozen in the light

it lasted just a second
and then it was gone
paper turned to ash
like nothing was wrong

then when i awoke
i wrote a little letter
addressing it to you
should be knowing better

it lasted just a second
and then it was gone
the paper turned to ash
like nothing was wrong

well i knew you were a dreamer
and i wished i was one too
beautiful believer


when i was a child
i found a little wisdom
a scene i once knew
was on my television

it lasted just a second
and then it was gone
paper turned to ash
like nothing was wrong

and when i came down
i wrote a little letter
addressing it to you

it lasted just a second
and then it was gone
paper turned to ash
like nothing was wrong

well i knew you were a dreamer
and i wished i was one too
beautiful believer


FEELING
*****************************************

andy's in the basement
and he's eeking it out
making time
he's such a bore

always got his mind
on a saturday night
a cafe club

super vegan son
my love
where are you
when you withdrew

you're not feeling good
all among us
never knowing what to do

its a seedy feeling now
its a feeling now

cause andy's in the basement
and he's speaking about
the making time
he's such a bore

always got his mind
on the getting it right
i can't do it

super vegan son
my love
look what you have done
not feeling good among us
never knowing what you knew

its a seedy feeling now
its a feeling

its a seedy feeling now
its a feeling now

LOVE
*****************************************

easy to hear
what i have to say
my words
are now for sale

i will deceive
i will be cold
words just
came alive tonight

the word is beauty
word is love
the word is beauty

word is beauty
word is love

easy to see
what i know i knew
our words
don't know themselves

i will deceive
i can be sold
words
just came alive tonight

the word is beauty
the word is love
the word is beauty

the word is beauty
the word is love

INVISIBLE
*****************************************

if you're invisible
don't let it go right now

HALF AND HALF
*****************************************

half and half
through and through,
dear oh dear
what to do
stuck in the middle
torn at the seams,
swimming, drowning, people howling
screaming, choking, a grown man's growling
pick a side, any bloody side
but wherever you go
you will abide
by those rules
that keep your faces clean

half and half
through and through
oh I wonder what it's like to be you
always going from this to that
pulled and pushed
rolling, crawling
masses of unclean people brawling
some shouting this

but the message is clear
oh the message is clear

half and half
through and through
how I wish I could be you
here I'm black
there I'm white

fighting all the time
by the sources
some thousands of years old
you stay here, she stays there
that way my vision will remain
unimpaired

half and half
through and through
stop right there
or I will butcher you

I'm not in the mood
to wait till noon
you've spent our waste
waste our time
I'm running out of words
words to rhyme
so pick a color
any kind

I've got both sides
of the deck arranged
so pick a color really
in the range
try, while you can
have some fun

here we are
knife at our throats
what to choose
black or white
what to choose
want to choose


REMEMBER
*****************************************

what is the sound
of my doubt
just can't seem to remember
just can't work it out

i drape my face
in a cloke of concern
just another pretender
i just can't discern

what is this life
am i too late
just can't seem to remember
can't seem to equate

WE SHOULD DANCE
*****************************************

you don't need some knee
all the way up your teeth
'cause you don't got to amaze
'cause you don't get no release

how come you wait so long
you see him red in the eye
i sing a lovely song
singing it so wrong

we should dance

you got another place
you know it well
where you do it free
why don't you ever tell

we should dance

you got perfect legs
and ugly teeth
all of the living things
they share this belief

it will never end well
always knowing
what did the devil do
what did she do

we should dance
