Night turns to day
And I still have these questions
Bridges will break
Should I go forwards or backwards.I'm gonna buy this place and see it go
Stand here beside my baby, watch the orange glow
Some will laugh and some just sit and cry
But you just sit down there and you wonder why
So I'm gonna buy a gun and start a war
If you can tell me something worth fighting for
And I'm gonna buy this place that's what I said
Blame it upon a rush of blood to the head
Oh to the head
Honey
All the movements you're starting to make
See me crumble and fall on my face
And I know the mistakes that I made
See it all disappear without a trace.Come on, oh my star is fading
And
I swerve out of control
If I, if I'd only waited
I'd not be stuck here in this hole.All the sound is breaking up
Oh oh oh oh...Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
*** Thanx a lot to
Tasha who fixed (!You and me are floating on a tidal wave
