You are not the reason, I lie awake at night, You are not the reason, Though I think it's what you'd like Do you take me for a fool Or a decent conversation I lie awake at night And you are not the reason Oh it's all fun and it's all games, It's just another stupid way To say, I need affection Oh I need affection And even if my skin turned green You'd never see my jealously You cant defy gravity Cause it's what keeps us down Yeah it's what keeps us down You are not the reason, I lie awake at night, You are not the reason, Though I think it's what you'd like Do you take me for a fool Or a decent conversation I lie awake at night And you are not the reason No you are not the reason Can you hear the laughter It's saying its goodbye You've got to laugh sometimes my dear Just laugh or you will cry I need a shot of vodka And a good nights sleep But mostly I need something To PG-12 my dreams Oh when I lie awake at night You don't plague my thoughts It's more a 'hey that is the side of the bed that I don't frequent much' Do you take me for a fool Or a decent conversation I lie awake at night And you are not the reason No you are not the reason Oh I lie awake at night and you are not the reason.

February smokes a cigarette on the street corner oh her lips are full and her eyes are blue and you aren't sure what it is you're doing February sends you all her love her dress is red and gorgeous but her head is full of lust and you aren't sure what it is you're doing no you aren't sure what it is you're doing February smokes a cigarette on the street corner oh you're telling her to wait but it isn't all that late oh February has a smoking problem she'll make you groan until you shudder but she's not a loyal lover and she isn't sure what it is you're doing no she isn't sure what it is you're doing and somewhere out there there's a girl, just been dumped and she's crying her eyes by an ATM and somewhere out there there's a boy who just broke that girls heart, heart and I'll comfort her to the best of my ability and hope that someday somebody'll do the for me for me, for me oh February smokes until she cannot taste February smokes until her voice is a waste February smokes until she starts to fade till she starts to fade till she starts to fade till she starts to fade

Little footsteps On the stairwell Little fingers Waving farewell Little footsteps Walking slowly Through the debris that's lying before me Little footsteps Don't look at me Little curls That used to fall freely Little footsteps Walk right past me It's quite a question That you've got there It's quite a complex that you've got there Oh I've got the unnerving feeling That you're not finished speaking Little footsteps Walking faster See the boys that are hurrying past her Little footsteps Walking into the fire F I R E Little footsteps cannot hear the shouting Little footsteps don't know where they're going Look up, look up The sky is burning It's quite a question That you've got there It's quite a complex that you've got there Oh I've got the unnerving feeling That you're not finished speaking And HEY Did you think it would all work OUT Did you think you could tear it DOWN? Was it worth all the HOPE and doubt? And now that your world is finally turning to dust And now that you've bargained away all the last of your trust They say they teach freedom and love They still say they teach freedom and love Little footsteps On the stairwell Little fingers Waving farewell Little footsteps Not a symbol Just a child who's not home for dinner Little footsteps Not a martyr Just a child who got lost in the warfare

Hurricanes 03:24
Somebody told me if I close my eyes That reality would be eaten alive It would scream in the stars Begging for mercy It would go down in flames And beg for some mercy Cause late at night when the children are sleeping When the dark beckons out And God isn't listening When the people you care who you call your friends Will be down on the ground willing it all to end They'll be down on the ground willing it all to end I miss you like a city misses hurricanes We didn't start the revolution In your bed But we cause confusion inside your head We didn't start the revolution In your bed It's not a revolution if people aren't losing their heads It's a shame when imagination runs low When you're down in the dumps And you're all on your own When you the hurt the people that you weren't meant to And revolution can't handle you The revolution can't handle you The revolution can't handle you I miss you like a city misses hurricanes I miss you like a city misses hurricanes We didn't start the revolution In your bed But we cause confusion inside your head We didn't start the revolution In your bed It's not a revolution if people aren't losing their heads People aren't losing their heads I miss you like a city misses hurricanes I miss you like a city misses hurricanes I miss you like a city misses hurricanes I miss you like a city misses hurricanes
