Lyrics - Paroles de chansons

You got you back up against the wall
Now you know that after all
When you make mistakes like that
There's no more turning back
Now we've gone and we lost our head
You're better off just playing dead
Once you're wearing that black hat
There's no point in turning back

I know, I know, I know
We've been here once before
I know, I know, I know
We've been here once before

All you know is you need to win
Should you go when your call comes in?
Once you see all the blood that flows
I don't think you'll be wanting more
Now I thought that was all in the past
And that peace would come at last
Once again we are at war
Yes I know we've been here before

I know, I know, I know
We've been here once before
I know, I know, I know
We've been here once before

And I don't think you'll be wanting more
We've been here once before
We've been here that's for sure
And I don't think you'll be wanting more
We've been here once before
We've been here that's for sure

You are on your own
You do as you please
Having so much fun
Gone and lost your reason
After all is said and done
Are you still having fun?

How were you to know when you've gone astray?
That happiness would go like a lost emotion
You have always gone your way
Are you happy today?

Well you know when you've been defeated
You don't care and you thank no one
Feeling low you will always need it
Are you're having fun

You don't know what is it you've done
You don't know that...

This was your mistake with the master plan
With all the drugs you take, you can hardly stand
After all is said and done
Are you still having fun?

Well, you know when you've been defeated
You don't care and you thank no one
Feeling low you will always need it
Are you're having fun...
Are you still having fun?

You don't know what it is you've done
Just to show that you're having fun

You don't know what it is you've done
Just to show that...

I can set you straight if you let me stay
I hope I'm not too late
No you won't regret it
I can show you the way
And make you happy today

Yes, you know when you've been defeated
You don't care and you thank no one
Feeling low you will always need it

Well, you know when you're being cheated
Yes, you know when you've been defeated
Feeling low you will always need it
Now you're having fun...

And are you still having fun?
Are you still having fun?
Are you still having fun?

Give me one good reason
That I should care
Give me one good reason
And I'll be there

Like a thief, you've stolen
Like rain on a grave
Like a priest who's spoken
But failed to save

Now the air is empty
And the ground, the same
Love has gone to be buried
Beside my name

Give me one good reason
That I should care
Give me one good reason
And I'll be there

Why couldn't you have told me
About your liar's kiss?
I can't believe you'd leave me
At a time like this

And the wind is howling
And it's a dying dream
And my faith is silent
While my doubts scream

Give me one good reason
That I should care
Give me one good reason
And I'll be there

Give me one good reason (x 3)
That I should care

Promises made, they were lost
Somewhere beside you
Waiting around can leave some
Feeling like I do
Promises made, and we stayed
Dreaming of leaving

We will find good days for us
The sun will shine brightly
Live our life, if only for just
A moment

The good-byes are gone, but the echoes remain
To remind you
Oh, we could belong to the lucky ones
If we just tired to
Promises made, where we laid
Our days of believing

We will find good days for us
The sun will shine brightly
Live our life, if only for just
A moment

It's okay to cry for a moment
When promises shatter
But don't waste your tears for too long
Because soon it won't matter
Promises made, they were lost
But don't bother grieving

We will find good days for us
The sun will shine brightly
Live our life, if only for just
A moment

Would you believe me
If I said I've never lied
Though it ain't easy
I can tell you I have tried
But I've gotta say
That it comes those days
That I've told something untrue
Would you'll forgive me
If I said I've lied to you

This is my fear
To tell you what I've done
As things become clear
I'm afraid that you'll be gone
But all I know
Is if you go
At least I've told what's true
Hope you'll forgive me
When I say I've lied to you

I'm burning up
I'm burning for you
When the truth has been spoken
There's nothing to do

How will you kill me
For what I'm about to tell
Please do it gently
Because you know I'm bound for hell
All I know is I've lost my soul
I'm burning inside
Hope you'll forgive me
Yes, I have lied

I'm burning up
I'm burning for you
When the truth has been spoken
There's nothing to do

Now you know that I've gone and I've been untrue to you
And once it's told, well you know there's nothing we can do
I regret that I let this get so out of hand
I pray, you stay, that you'll understand

Madness is fragile and fragile is she
In chaos she's agile and madness is me
We knew from the beginning it wasn't all right
Like being in a padded room for more than one night
Judgement escaped me I speak for us both
Like the bond that we made, let's call it an oath

Together we will live
Together we'll die

Filled with the confidence of nothing to lose
Armed with an axe and a whole lot of booze
Plans were made down to each detail
With a plan like that how could we fail?
We packed all our gear in the truck of my brother's car
Cause time is runin' out says the clock on the wall
Judgement escaped me I speak for us both
Like the bond that we made, we call it an oath

Together we will live
Together we'll die
Madness is fragile and fragile is she
In chaos she's agile and madness is me
She had the key to keeping me insane
But now I'm gone and she's got to be tamed
As I am telling you as it is true
I'm on my way to bury you
Gonna put you down under
Gotta put you down under

You say what you say
And pray that one day
You'll be seen between the shadows

Now, that's a waste of your pain
Living your life like a saint
When it don't, no, it don't even matter

Even saints
Make their mistakes
Letting their dreams fall and break
Oh, it feels like living in sunshine
With the shades pulled down

Now I want you to see
How good life can be
You can turn it around
Better your life with the good times found

People will always take the long way around
Before you know it you'll be lost and found
Living in the sunshine with the shades pulled down
People will always take the long way around

I'm not afraid of pride
When it's for the right side
Don't betray what I believe in
Stand where you must stand
And I'll believe when I can
Because I'm telling you now
I've been where you're living

Will tomorrow keep it's promise
No one here can say
The past is all behind us
All we have is today
And all we have is today

People will always take the long way around
Before you know it you'll be lost and found
Living in the sunshine with the shades pulled down
People will always take the long way around

Girl I can't abide
By the rules you laid down in this game
'Cause now I've gone and lost myself in you
One time you catch a ride
And it takes you miles away
There's a chance of never feeling blue

And those lonely days will be long time forgotten
If we could find another way
Now let's contemplate is this time of passion
Strong enough to make you stay
Because I do believe in forever
And forever I will stay
And those lonely days will remain
Miles and miles away

Emotional exile
Is the safest way to play
Gotta take a chance every now and then
Irresistible change of heart
I will guide your way
We could share a life again

And those lonely days will be long time forgotten
If we could find another way
Now lets contemplate is this time of passion
Strong enough to make you stay
Because I do believe in forever
And forever I will stay
And those lonely days will remain

Miles and miles away (x 4)

What you doing in the alley
What you doing my friend
What you doing in the alley
Are you lost again?

Ain't no good going down that road honey
Ain't no good at all
Getting down on you knees just for the money
And you're the first to fall

No shame, you feel no shame
Just come back home again
No blame, I lay no blame
Just come back home again
Going on a road trip easy rider
One thing you've got to know
You walking on a minefield
Better watch your number
Before you know, you might blow,
I can see the sand in the hourglass
And I can hear the last call
You better take your chance before it's in the past
And you're the first to fall

No shame, you feel no shame
Just come back home again
No blame, I lay no blame
Just come back home again
No shame, you feel no shame
Just come back home again
No blame, I lay no blame
Just come back home again (x 6)

She is my Miss Fortune
With all the troubles we have had
When ever I am around her
I do something bad
Trouble is her lover
Trouble is her friend
When ever I am around her
I commit a sin

Trouble is her love
Troubled love

When I'm with my Miss Fortune
Once again I'm the fool
Gone and lost my composure
Gone and lost my cool
Should i let her deceive me
Should I let her in
Once again she will tease me
Once again I'll sin

Trouble is our love
Troubled love

Trouble is her lover
Trouble is her friend
Trouble is her lover
Trouble is her sin

Mom and Dad they always told me don't play with that girl
Little did they know that she would show me the world
All those things I was not to do
Little did they know that my love is true

Trouble is her lover
Trouble is her friend
Trouble is her lover
Trouble is her sin

He's going back to Georgia
Because he knows time, and time has come
Don't even know if she'll be waiting
Because he's been gone for way too long

How long will you stay?
Boy, you don't got nine lives to waste
How long will you stay?
Saving time, losing grace

She believed every word he told her
About the troubles and how they start
She didn't listen to the laughter
She only listened to her heart

How long will you stay?
Boy, you don't got nine lives to waste
How long will you stay?
Saving time, losing grace

She didn't believe (x 4)

He made a promise to no one
That he could right a wrong
He wanted to do something just
But he was just gone

How long will you stay?
Boy, you don't got nine lives to waste
How long will you stay?
Saving time, losing grace

She didn't believe (x 2)
She didn't believe, believe, believe

She didn't believe what they told her, about her lover
Nothing left bet her tears, and theirs were laughter
Forever after

If you start here late, no one will know what you did
No, the streets are straight, it's the soul that's crooked
I've been treated fine, I've been treated elegantly
But I'm not one for bathing in the waters of plenty

East is East, West is West
And Bowery is screaming while Delancey rests
Well, I'm south of the skating, but I'm north of the cash
I could sure use the money, but I'm ashamed to ask

The traffic has buried all of last night's rain
The words are all different but the accent is the same

The sun is white, and the moon is gray
And the river is black, blue and green
The young are young, and the old are old
And there are no shades of gray in between

There's at least ten different strains of smoke in the air
And my prints are on them all, to prove I was there
And I love the curses, but I'm not one for the trenches
And I do love the walking, but thank god for the benches

It's hard to tell where green begins, and the city gray stops
I guess the trees all bought their armor at second hand shops
My second had is working, but the minute hand is broke again
I know time will pass, but I don't know when

The sun is white, and the moon is gray
And the river is black, blue and green
The young are young, and the old are old
And there are no shades of gray in between
And there are no shades of gray in between
I know the great ones have been here, but where I can't tell
There's dreams here a plenty, but they're being withheld
And I'm more impressed with the closed doors than the ones that are open
The whole place tells time by a tower clock that's broken

The pigeons are ravens, and the gulls are vultures
And trash is art, and cash is culture

The sun is white, and the moon is gray
And the river is black, blue and green
The young are young, and the old are old
And there are no shades of gray in between
There are no shades of gray in between (x 2)

Beauty and grace is what touches me most
Good times can put me in fear
I always feel safe when things are bad
So I can not let you come near
It seems that I thrive on the dark side of things
I always feel alive when the death bell rings
Now you have come and bring out the tears in me

Pain never makes me cry
But happiness does
It's so strange to watch my life walk by
Wishing it was
Wishing it was more like a fantasy
Where everyday surprises me
Wishing it was

This feeling won't last
ëCause I can not survive
I tell you I've been here before
When it's movin' this fast
It's a matter of time
One of us walks out that door
It seems that I thrive on the dark side of things
I always feel alive when the death bell rings
Now you come and you bring out the tears in me

But happiness does
It's so strange to watch my life walk by
Wishing it was
Wishing it was more like a fantasy
Where everyday surprises me
Wishing it was

Give this some thought
And I'm sure you will know
This is the way it must be
Emotions will rise
Emotions will flow
You bring out the tears in me (x 2)
