Guess it's just another dream That's slipping away Each time I fall asleep It seems I'm just drifting away Just as you have touched my heart Babe I wake and we're apart Yeah and it's slipping away Here comes just another day That's drifting away Every time I draw a breath It's dying away First the sun and then the moon One of them will be around soon Slipping away Slipping away Drifting away Slipping away Just as you have touched my heart I wake up babe and we're apart It seems we're slipping away Slipping away Slipping away All I want is ecstasy But I ain't getting much Just getting off on misery It seems I've lost my touch Well it's just another song But it's slipping away Well we didn't sing it long 'Cos it's fading away First the sun and then the moon One of them will be round soon Slipping away Slipping away Slipping away

Let's all go downtown I got friends doing nothing but hanging around... well I feel like there's something I could be missing You know you look alright You got cheap shoes, a Malibu, and big public fights Well, there's no one else I would rather be kissing Baby when you start to bleed, you look so sweet Everybody's watching you cause everybody wants to be Little superstar, well baby that's what you are Little superstar, oh honey that's what you are I got a backstage line I call you up, been watching you for quite some time I beat around the streets like Bandidi looking for Camilla I'll be satin and speed If you and I are still alive We'll get off these streets Well, there was a time I would have Hung around just to be seen Hey man, it's a shame when you start to fade Diamond rings and sparkily things Won't make your shine stay My little superstar, oh baby that's what you are My little superstar, oh honey you break my heart My little superstar, oh honey you know you are My little superstar, oh honey you break my heart

Here's the one you Cannot run from It's everywhere you go So go numb Lift your head to see It's all gone Now lie there wondering What have you done Hello - to my hollow one With a halo Offer up a scene that Can't be seen Fool me in all my love Here's the one I Cannot run from It smothers me and Makes me go numb Now you're finding that You need some Just pull the sheet Above your head now Hello - To my hollow one With a halo Offer up a scene that Can't be seen - fool me I see a angel in thee Sent from beyond To entertain me Fool me - I have believed In all of the things you do- They're all for you

It must have been maybe it was I don't remember when When I fell for myself I fell off the chair That sat me next to you Could I take all the love That I have for myself Could I give it all to you Can I kill the big monster That lives down inside Can we throw all the history aside It's not easy to pretend That we're not Enemies sometimes But it pleases me defending All the memories tonight It may have been a bit hopeless But something honest Went down that night I lifted my head for Just long enough to see What I'd never seen in my life Could I take all the love That I had in myself Did anything make it through And it kills not to know What goes on in your mind Can you throw all the history aside It's not easy to pretend That we're not Enemies sometimes But pleases me defending All the memories tonight

They moved down into town Not to be forgotten To stay around The jasmine's sweet The air is complete now They set up a cornerstore To try and make their lives A little more Their girl was blind But she saw more Than you or me will ever see You are the sun I wanna see everything I will not run I wanna be everything in you They sold bait and fishing string And groceries and things Everbodies needs The jasmine's sweet The air is complete she said But lately at the cornerstore I try and make my life a little more I hang around to see her A little more You are the sun I wanna see everything I will not run I wanna be everything in you They moved down into town Not to be forgotten To stay around The jasmine's sweet The air is complete she said But lately at the cornerstore We try to make our lives A little more I hang around Just a little more

If I wake I only want To dream again Where everything is beautiful And new again When I sleep I always Have a happy end Lying with the lions I'm so lazy and I'm loving it I will not run I will not hide When dreams and real life collide I'm on the ground I'm taking fire But I'll be sleeping sweet tonight You can spread your words Around me full of lies You can paint a picture of me In their eyes You can burn my castle down But realize When you go to sleep tonight I'll meet you on the other side I will not run I will not hide I will make you swallow all my pride I will not aim and open fire I'll be sleeping sweet tonight Oh everything's so good Everything's so good
