I was on the outside when you said
You said you needed me
I was looking at myself
I was blind,I could not see

A boy tries hard to be a man
His mother takes him by the hand
If he stops to think, he starts to cry
Oh why

If you walk away, walk away
I walk away, walk away
I will follow

If you walk away, walk away
I walk away, walk away
I will follow
I will follow

I was on the inside
When they pulled the four walls down
I was looking through the window
I was lost, I am found

Walk away, walk away
Walk away, walk away
I will follow
If you walk away, walk away
I walk away, walk away
I will follow
I will follow

Your eyes make a circle
I see you when you go in there
Your eyes
Your eyes
Your eyes
Your eyes

If you walk away, walk away
I walk away, walk away
I will follow
If you walk away, walk away
I walk away, walk away
I will follow
I will follow
I will follow
I will follow
I will follow
Follow

I look into his eyes
They're closed but I see something
A teacher told me why
I laugh when old men cry
My body grows and grows
It frightens me, you know
The old man tried to walk me home
I thought he should have known

Twilight
Twilight, lost my way
Twilight, can't find my way
In the shadow boy meets man
In the shadow boy meets man
In the shadow boy meets man
In the shadow boy meets man

I'm running in the rain
I'm caught in a late night play
It's all, it's everything
I'm soaking through the skin

Twilight, darkened day
Twilight, lost my way
Twilight, night and day
Twilight, can't find my way
Can't find your way
Can't find my way
Can't find your way

Twilight, darkened day
Twilight, lost my way
Twilight, night and day
Twilight, can't find my way
In the shadow boy meets man
In the shadow boy meets man
In the shadow boy meets man
In the shadow boy meets man

Say good night
She waits for me to turn out the light
Really still
She waits to break my will
Yes, and I know the truth about you
She cat

And in the daylight
A black bird makes a violent sight
And when she is done
She sleeps beside the one
Yes, and I know the truth about you
She cat

Into the heart
Of a child
I stay a while
But I can't go there

Into the heart
Of a child
I can smile
I can't go there

Into the heart
Into the heart
Of a child
I can't go back
I can't stay a while

Into the heart
Into the heart

Monday morning
Eighteen years of dawning
I said how long
Said how long

It was one dull morning
I woke the world with bawling
I was so sad
They were so glad

I was of the feeling
It was out of control
I had the opinion it was
Out of control
Oh oh oh

Boys and girls
Go to school, and girls
They make children
Not like this one

I was of the feeling
I was out of control
I had the opinion it was
Out of control
Oh oh oh

I fought fate
There's blood at the garden gate
The man said childhood
It's in his childhood

One day I'll die
The choice will not be mine
Will it be too late
You can't fight fate

There's a place I go when I am far away
There's a T.V. show where I can grow
Sometimes a hero takes me
Sometimes I don't let go
Hello, hello

There's a picture book with color photographs
There's a comic strip that makes me laugh
Sometimes away he takes me
Sometimes I don't let go

Stories for boys, stories for boys
Stories for boys, stories for boys
Stories for boys

There's a place I go and it's a part of me
There's a radio and I will go
Sometimes a hero takes me
Sometimes I don't let go
Hello, hello

Stories for boys

A picture in grey, Dorian Gray
Just me, by the sea
And I felt like a star
I thought the world could go far
If they listened to what I said

The Ocean, the Ocean
Washes my feet
Splashes the soul of my shoes

When I looked around
The world couldn't be found
Just me by the sea

Starting a landslide in my ego
Look from the outside to the world I left behind
I'm dreaming, you're awake
If I were sleeping
What's at stake

A day without me

Whatever the feelings I've been feeling
What are the feelings you left behind
Today's a day without me

I started a landslide in my ego
Look from the outside to the world I left behind
In the world I left behind
Wipe their eyes and they let go
In a world I left behind
Shed a tear and let love go

Bright morning lights
Wipe the sleep from another day's eyes
Turn away from the wall and there's nothing at all
Be naked and afraid
In the open space of my bed
I'll be with you now
I'll be with you now
We lie on a cloud
We lie

Just as I am
I awoke with a tear on my tongue
I awoke with a feeling of never before
In my sleep, I discover the one
But she ran with the morning sun
I'll be with you now
I'll be with you now
We lie on a cloud
We lie

Another time, another place
We lie
Another time, another place

Another child has lost the race
We lie
Another time, another place
We lie
Your time, your price

We lie
Another time, another place
We lie
Another child has lost

We lie
Another time, another place
We lie
Your time, your place

Boy, stupid boy
Don't sit at the table until you're able to
Toy, broken toy
Shout and shout, you're inside out

If you don't know
Electric Co.
If you don't know
Electric Co.

Red, running red
Play for real, talk and feel
A hole in your head
You won't shout, you're spoon fed

If you don't know
Electric Co.
If you don't know
Electric Co.

Two, three, four
I can't stop
Useless is the castle wall
Useless is the metal wall
He's gonna jump

If you don't know
Electric Co.
If you don't know
Electric Co.
If you don't know
Electric Co.
If you don't know
Electric Co.
If you don't know
Electric Co.
If you don't know
Electric Co.

Till someone leaves him below
He's searched high and low
A tap on the wrist and he'd know
Somebody hear him
Just leave him
I can't find my way home
I'm alone
I've lost my way home
You know and you know
And you know and you know
And you know

Back to the cold, restless streets at night
I talk to myself about tomorrow night
Walls of white protest, a gravestone in name
Who is it now
It's always the same

Who is it now who calls me inside
Are the leaves on the trees just living disguise
I walk the sweet rain tragicomedy
I'll walk home again to the street melody

But I know oh no
But I know oh no
But I know

Shadows and tall trees
Shadows and tall trees
Shadows and tall trees
Shadows and tall trees

Life through a window, a discolored pain
Mrs. Brown's washing is always the same
I walk the sweet rain tragicomedy
I'll walk home again to the street melody

But I know oh no
But I know oh no
But I know

Out there
Do you feel in me anything redeeming
Any worthwhile feeling
Is life like a tightrope hanging on my ceiling

But I know oh no
But I know oh no
But I know

Shadows and tall trees
Shadows and tall trees
Shadows and tall trees
Shadows and tall trees
Shadow, shadow, shadow
My shadow, shadow, shadow
Shadows and tall trees
Shadows and tall trees
Follow me
My shadow, shadow, shadow
Seeing my shadow, shadow, shadow
Shadows and tall trees
Shadows and tall
