No illusion, dark confusion Just shapes, they move, through our, scenery Can they hurt you, can they find you You'll see, in time, they will, fly hand in hand Some sleep life through the underground Keep their heads up straight when they're falling down Black shadow players messing with our minds, all the time Some sleep life through the underground Keep their heads up straight when they're falling down Black shadow players messing with our minds, all the time Look into the darkness to see the light underneath Clear your vision, no submission You can, make it out, safe and sound, this time Fail to notice, their abundance Outta sight, outta mind, outta here, you go No illusion, dark confusion Just shapes, they move, through our, scenery Can they hurt you, can they find you You'll see, in time, they will, fly hand in hand

Table For One 04:12

All is well, that's ending well Another coin in the wishing well Everybody's wearing silver bells But I'm fine with my cow, bell Singing duets, all by myself Picking records up off the shelf Karaoke night's for someone else Cos I'm staying put, right here, unless Someone comes along, and sweeps me off, my feet Wishing for luck until my luck runs out Until the stars align and say what's a happening Table for one Candlelit dinner for my numero uno Table for one I'll have a greasy meal all to myself When morning comes No need to worry 'bout looking pretty Cause if I get a table for one My evening will be half-off Star-crossed lovers wish on shooting stars Dream of adventure, near and far And here I am, safe within my room Either counting blessings or counting sheep I don't need no helping hand, I've got myself to myself And if you're looking for a place to hide, better stay outside Ain't got no room for the likes of you Table for one Candlelit dinner for my numero uno Table for one I'll have a greasy meal all to myself When morning comes No need to worry 'bout looking pretty Cause if I get a table for one My evening will be half-off Someone might come along, and sweep me off my feet Wishing for luck until my luck runs out Until the stars align and say what's a happening, and watch me sitting at my Table for one Candlelit dinner for my numero uno Table for one I'll have a greasy meal all to myself When morning comes No need to worry 'bout looking pretty Cause if I get a table for one My evening will be half-off

Getting colder day by day It’s gonna rain now, or so they say You’ve got your own little roof for your happy place I’m thinking hard of words to say Worried I don’t come up with something wrong The least I could do for you is be a friendly face When people get too complicated, and no one will set it right When you get lost in your head, it’s no place to stay, don’t hide away Don’t worry, baby, don’t overthink it Clear skies are coming, days growing brighter Don’t worry bout it You just gotta be mean, if you know what I mean You can find your way out of here If you’re feeling left out And kind words are hard to find You look in just the right place to turn things back around Cos things can get too complicated, and no one will set it right When you get lost in your head, it’s no place to stay, don’t hide away Don’t worry, baby, don’t overthink it Clear skies are coming, days growing brighter Don’t worry bout it You just gotta be mean, if you know what I mean You can find your way out of here Don’t worry, baby, don’t overthink it Clear skies are coming, days growing brighter Don’t worry bout it, find a smile on your face Things tend to fall right into place Don’t worry, baby, don’t overthink it Clear skies are coming, days growing brighter Don’t worry bout it You just gotta be mean, if you know what I mean You can find your way out of here

Don’t call me Br’er and I won’t call you Genbu I’m well protected from heartbreakers like you If you can crack my shell and live to brag it Then I am coming after you, slow and steady I ain’t no Minogame for your seaweed I got too many wrinkles; more than I need Your head keeps popping up nearby, you gofer If you find me on my back, please turn me over Pick me up, I need your loving touch to Lift me up, cos I don’t wanna hide my Head anymore, or less will be alright with Me as long as I’m not drowning You ever by chance paint the Sistine Chapel? Is there any truth behind all the rabble? Was the Mona Lisa painted by your hand? Did you really come right out of the sand? I carry the entire world on my back I feel the weight of all the strength that I lack I don’t mind spending time alone, me loner If you find me on my back, please turn me over Pick me up, I need your loving touch to Lift me up, cos I don’t wanna hide my Head anymore, or less will be alright with Me as long as I’m not drowning Help, I’m a turtle and I can’t get up Help, I’m a little turtle and I can’t turn over Help, I’m a turtle and I can’t get up Help, I’m a little turtle and I can’t turn over Help, I’m a turtle and I can’t get up Help, I’m a little turtle and I can’t turn over Help, I’m a turtle and I can’t get up Help, I’m a little turtle and I can’t turn over Pick me up, I need your loving touch to Lift me up, cos I don’t wanna hide my Head anymore, or less will be alright with Me as long as I’m not drowning Pick me up, I need your loving touch to Lift me up, cos I don’t wanna hide my Head anymore, or less will be alright with Me as long as I’m not drowning Help, I’m a turtle and I can’t get up Help, I’m a little turtle and I can’t turn over Pick me up; flip me over so I can run

You laugh, I laugh, you cry, I cry You walk, I walk, you try, I try I feel what you feel; I can't escape your emotions I walk stride for stride, living out your every motion I'm in your world to keep myself safe, safe from the outside I wrap your world around me, so nobody can find me, cause I'm a chameleon, I'm a chameleon I'm a chameleon, I'm a chameleon I'm a chameleon, I'm a chameleon You wish, I wish, you dream, I dream You fly, I fly, you crash, I crash I change my mood to suit yours, like a mirror talking back to you I'll never tell you what you don't wanna hear, I won't do anything you wouldn't do I feel so safe and secure, when I hide in your shadows I won't fall outta line, I'll hold my breath, stay still, till they go away, cause I'm a chameleon, I'm a chameleon I'm a chameleon, I'm a chameleon I'm a chameleon, I'm a chameleon I'm a chameleon, I'm a chameleon I don't steal, I don't fake, I don't take, I imitate I'm a chameleon, I'm a chameleon I'm a chameleon, I'm a chameleon I'm a chameleon, I'm a chameleon I'm a chameleon, I'm a chameleon I don't steal, I don't fake, I don't take, I imitate I don't steal, I don't fake, I don't take, I imitate I don't steal, I don't fake, I don't take, I imitate I don't steal, I don't fake, I don't take, I imitate I don't steal, I don't fake, I don't take, I imitate I need your colours to dress me, I need your smile so I can smile I need your warmth to thaw my heart, even if it's just for a little while You can be sad in front of me, you won't cry alone I'll watch my tears fall, so I could feel anything at all Just carry on as you would, but take me along with you I need to watch and learn, how to do those things you do Until I can think the way you think, until I can see what you see Until I find the man in me, please just spend some time with me I promise I won't cause trouble, if anything I will help I'll feel your glee and your sorrow, cos I'm a chameleon I know you may not always want me around, I'll understand believe me You got your own life to live, when it's time I'll let you be But please hear me, I need you as much as you need me I'm only wishing for the best, I'm not like the rest You can't scare me away, cos I'm here to stay I won't run away, I'll be someone you need I'm easy to manage; I don't pee on the rug I keep my word, I clean up after myself I don't lie, I don't cheat, I don't jaywalk, across an empty street I don't steal, I don't fake, I don't take, I imitate

You're as cold as ice If only you could see time freeze, you would If you could stop time from changing my every move There would be no place at all, no spring, no fall No summer, no morning breeze at all Only winter can save you from disappearing Only winter can stop me from leaving you alone You're as cold as ice

I’m going up, you’re going down You’re taking it easy when I’m flying around You say your prayers, to whoever cares Cos I’m not picking up what you’re putting down I got better things, on my mind I’m coming in at record time You think I’m just a bling for your ring, well you’re a fool Cos I know you better than you know you We’re worlds apart, it’s ri-di-cu-lous A billion miles between us You’re in bed, and I’m reaching for the stars I’m Mercury, you’re Mars We’re worlds apart and getting aparter Expanding ever farther Cos all I want to be is to be famous I’m Jupiter, you’re Anus It’s getting late, you’re in a state You’re picking colors like you’re calling your fate I think the sign is clear, gotta get outta here And make my way to the pearly great I got better things, on my mind I’m coming in and looking sublime You think I’m just a bling for your ring, well you’re a fool Cos I know you better than you know you We’re worlds apart, it’s ri-di-cu-lous A billion miles between us You’re in bed, and I’m reaching for the stars I’m Mercury, you’re Mars We’re worlds apart and getting aparter Expanding ever farther Cos all I want to be is to be famous I’m Jupiter, you’re Anus I got something on my mind I’m running away from slime You think I’m just a bling for your ring, well you’re a fool Cos I know you better than you know you You don’t know I know you better than you know you We’re worlds apart, it’s ri-di-cu-lous A billion miles between us You’re in bed, and I’m reaching for the stars I’m Mercury, you’re Mars We’re worlds apart and getting aparter Expanding ever farther Cos all I want to be is to be famous I’m Jupiter, you’re Anus We’re worlds apart, it’s ri-di-cu-lous A billion miles between us You’re in bed, and I’m reaching for the stars I’m Mercury, you’re Mars We’re worlds apart and getting aparter Expanding ever farther Cos all I want to be is to be famous I’m Jupiter, you’re Anus I’m Jupiter, you’re anus, I’m Jupiter, you’re anus

Time, won’t wait for you And you shouldn’t wait on time It comes and goes, always running, always ticking, away It gets right in your head, and fills you up with dread And regret, would you give a friend like that, the time of day? Move, you’re always moving In and out, all the time Going after what you want Running away from what you don’t It’s all the same for everyone, we move the same way Like, we stick to what we like And look for that in life Swinging from one place to the other Bumping into one another Move, you’re always moving In and out, all the time Going after what you want Running away from what you don’t It’s all the same for everyone, we move the same way It’s all the same, everybody always does it the same way You’d think you’d learn a lesson, you’d think you’d turn away But you’re just following your heart, your intuition Has it ever failed you before? Are you coming back for more? Should you follow your elders, the ones in the know? Or can you make up your mind at all? It’s deep in our system, our crowded family tree So can you really help yourself, when you feel the urge, to stay or flee? Like bacteria, like a sperm and egg Like so many flies, seeking out the light Like a fish and a stream, like a snail and earth’s grasp Like birds and the weather, up in the sky Like people and fortune, like a girl and a guy (All the same, everybody does it the same way) Lights, camera, action, your spotlight keeps you firm in place Signs, telling you, directions, but they don’t tell you anything You, tell yourself, whatever you want to, to get yourself to wherever you’re going Lights, telling you, what you should want, what you should eat, should need Count, the papercuts, on your fingers, after a day of counting time Still, on the chase, for that brand new special Something, that you, “need”, that for some reason is worth your while Like bacteria, like a sperm and egg Like so many flies, seeking out the light Like a fish and a stream Like birds and the weather, up in the sky We, move, taxis, and everything, that we’re doing we’re doing for Him, her, something, or someone, or for ourselves, to find what we’ve been looking for Move, you’re always moving In and out, all the time Going after what you want Running away from what you don’t It’s all the same for everyone, we move the same way Seek, avoid, keep, destroy, we only do, what we think is right, what makes us smile We change, faces, we move, places, so it’s only a matter of time before happiness arrives Move, you’re always moving In and out, all the time Going after what you want Running away from what you don’t It’s all the same for everyone, we move the same ways, we Move, you’re always moving In and out, all the time Going after what you want Running away from what you don’t It’s all the same for everyone, we move the same way It’s all the same, everybody does it the same way
