Was it something that you felt? (Not certain of it?) Was it something that you meant? (Not wrong about it?) Do you remember who you were before I picked you up on West 44? You should know the truth, you should know the truth, you You should know the truth, you should know the truth, you You should know the truth, you should know the truth, you You should know the truth, you should know the truth, you I was only playing nice ('cause I wanted something) I was only listening (I was on a making) Giving your light to nameless boys Giving that light to anyone You should know the truth, you should know the truth, you You should know the truth, you should know the truth, you You should know the truth, you should know the truth, you You should know the truth, you should know the truth, you Was I shady and obscene? Was it the worst it had ever been? Do you remember what you had to do Before I saw something in you? From the start I made it clear I could only try to be sincere And if that failed, I would keep my word Oh, what's wrong with being kept, my love? You deserve know the truth, you deserve know the truth, you You deserve know the truth, you deserve know the truth, you You deserve know the truth, you deserve know the truth, you You deserve know the truth, you deserve know the truth, you You

I won't go to see a movie 'Cause I don't like the way it plays on me I don't wanna go to a party 'Cause I don't want the whole world to see me In a place I don't belong, I would rather write a song Even better, sing along with you You can sing a song so well, like a good night story tale That brings me back to youth 'Cause All I want is the truth My baby, give me some truth All I want is the truth now My baby, give me some truth All I want is the truth I won't go to see a live show 'Cause I wanna see behind the scene No, no, I don't wanna know How you turn all the faces green All I wanted is to see how a prisoner breaks free And a flock of birds fly up the sky Happiness and misery get together on a tree Like a failure that comes with a try 'Cause All I want is the truth My baby, give me some truth All I want is the truth now My baby, give me some truth All I want is the truth

The only one I know Has come to take me away The only one I know Is mine when she stitches me The only one I see Has found and aching in me The only one I see Has turned her tongue into me Everyone has been burned before Everybody knows the pain The only one I know Never cries, never opens her eyes The only one I know Wide awake and then she's away The only one I see Is mine when she walks down our street The only one I see Has carved her way into me Everyone has been burned before Everybody knows the pain Everyone has been burned before Everybody knows the pain Everyone has been burned before Everybody knows the pain Everyone has been burned before Everybody knows the pain

She's waiting on, She's waiting on that storm to come. Into her heart, into her heart she's waiting. She told me I must hold onto the mo-oment. And when the moments over I'll be all alone. (La le la, la le la, la le la, la le la) Then I'll be all alone. (La le la, la le la, la le la, la le la) Then I'll be all alone. (La le la, la le la, la le la, la le la) Then I'll be all alone And like a bird, yes like a bird, she'll fly away. She never said, she never said she'd stay here. She's waiting on, She's waiting on that ship to come. I cannot fight, I cannot fight the ocean, all alone (La le la, la le la, la le la, la le la) Then I'll be all alone. (La le la, la le la, la le la, la le la) Then I'll be all alone. Now kiss me on, now kiss me on my broken wings. Don't leave me here, don't leave me in the water. She's waiting on, She's waiting on that storm to come. And when the rain comes down I will be washed away. I hope, I hope we meet again. I want, I want to hold you again. I hope, I hope we meet again. I'll know, I'll know until the end. I'll be all aloooone. (La le la, la le la, la le la, la le la) Then I'll be all alone. (La le la, la le la, la le la, la le la) Then I'll be all alone. (La le la, la le la, la le la, la le la) Then I'll be all alone.

The future is the past And it will last for as long as it's lasted Every time I get plastered I see stars Livin' deep inside of me We were all once a part of distant galaxies And I swear When the universe ends I'll be there 'Cos I wanna see what love looks like When there's no sound, no matter, no light, no television, no air You know it's funny how the people say the world is changed, It's like: Saying that stranger's a kind of strange It's like: Saying that water is kind of wet It's like: Saying that Elvis is kind of dead It's evident to anyone with half a brain that things change, That's why books have more than one page, That's why, me and my grandfather aren't the same age, That's why New Kids On The Block thery're not rockin' on Triple-J But, the more things change, the more they stay the same Same old girls, same wars, same games Sure, there's climate change, and there's terrorists and AIDS But we used to have the nazis And now it's was way way way worse But things get bad, then get better, Before I started eating bree, I used to eat cheddar The world is always gonna change, only love stays the same, Like I say in the refrain The future is the past And it will last for as long as it's lasted Every time I get plastered I see stars Livin' deep inside of me We were all once a part of distant galaxies And I swear When the universe ends I'll be there 'Cos I wanna see what love looks like When there's no sound, no matter, no light, no television, no air When I died, I got them to cryogenically freeze me Believe me, it cost four million, that's cheap To see the future, see infinity, I thought that I had proven the truth of man's divinity But I discovered, I was poor like a chimney sweep, The richest man is just a tramp in the scheme of things Up there in the future, it wasn't much fun, Just a bunch of frozen businessman dreaming of a refund "Gimme back my money" They were yellin', Calling for the manager They were used to those credit card advantages But MasterCard can't change the past, can it? No kind of plastic is worth shit on a dead planet The whole place was cold like you wouldn't believe Just dead rocks in a dried up sea Just like time gone by Just like five fuckin' billion BC The future is the past And it will last for as long as it's lasted Every time I get plastered I see stars Livin' deep inside of me We were all once a part of distant galaxies And I swear When the universe ends I'll be there 'Cos I wanna see what love looks like When there's no sound, no matter, no light, no television, no air Instrumental The meek shall inherit the earth, they're fine Don't have to fight for that shit Just have to bide your time Keep quiet, don't write any rhymes if you can help it 'Cos I'm sure god favors the silent, not the violent, Maybe the vibrant, definitely firemen Maybe the prime mister if he sticks to his assignment To lead wisely and not be divisive And while I'm on the subject, God, can you make him bring back human rights All right, fine, this is not a diatribe Just an ordinary rhyme about extraordinary times Hey, digital natives, on the love super highway You come my way leave e-mails and just fly away How good's that? I guess it's not all bad Crap, shit, fuck! We can still make positive tracks, Cut them on wax, under the full moon, Bury 'em for a month, And deep fry that to make, to make beats fat Fatter in batter, that's my motto, Like Specto said: back to mono, before he went loco Chatter for chatters sake that's the game, So I write rhymes that don't nessecerely mean a thing Sometimes, but this time I write a rhyme I can't deny I lie awake at night and recite the diatribe I'm alive and inspired to write rhymes or die tryin'. The future is the past And it will last for as long as it's lasted Every time I get plastered I see stars Livin' inside of me We were all once a part of distant galaxies And I swear When the universe ends I'll be there 'Cos I wanna see what love looks like When there's no sound, no matter, no light, no television, no air
