Track Lyrics
Until the End of the World Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Haven't seen you in quite a while
I was down the hold, just passing time
Last time we met it was a low-lit room
We were as close together as a bride and groom
We ate the food, we drank the wine
Everybody having a good time
Except you
You were talking about the end of the world
[Verse 2]
I took the money, I spiked your drink
You miss too much these days if you stop to think
You led me on with those innocent eyes
You know I love the element of surprise
In the garden I was playing the tart
I kissed your lips and broke your heart
You, you were acting like it was the end of the world
[Verse 3]
In my dream, I was drowning sorrows
But my sorrows they'd learned to swim
Surrounding me, going down on me
Spilling over the brim
Waves of regret and waves of joy
I reached out for the one I tried to destroy
You, you said you'd wait till the end of the world
[Outro]
Love, love, love, love love love
Love, love, love, love love love
Love, love, love, love love love
So Cruel Lyrics
[Verse 1]
We crossed the line
Who pushed who over?
It doesn't matter to you
It matters to me
We're cut adrift
But still floating
I'm only hanging on
To watch you go down, my love
[Verse 2]
I disappeared in you
You disappeared from me
I gave you everything you ever wanted
It wasn't what you wanted
The men who love you, you hate the most
They pass right through you like a ghost
They look for you, but your spirit is in the air
Baby, you're nowhere
[Chorus]
Oh, love
You say in love, there are no rules
Oh, love
Sweetheart, you're so cruel
[Verse 3]
Desperation is a tender trap
It gets you every time
You put your lips to her lips
To stop the lie
Her skin is pale like God's only dove
Screams like an angel for your love
Then she makes you watch her from above
And you need her like a drug
[Chorus]
Oh, love
You say in love, there are no rules
Oh, love
Sweetheart, you're so cruel
[Bridge]
She wears my love like a see-through dress
Her lips say one thing, her movements, something else
Oh, love, like a screaming flower
Love, dying every hour
[Verse 4]
Ah, you don't know if it's fear or desire
Danger, the drug that takes you higher
Head of heaven
Fingers in the mire
Her heart is racing, you can't keep up
The night is bleeding like a cut
Between the horses of love and lust, we are trampled
Underfoot
[Chorus]
Oh, love
You say in love there are no rules
Oh, love
Sweetheart, you're so cruel
Oh, love
To stay with you, I'd be a fool
Oh
Sweetheart, you’re so cruel
Mysterious Ways Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Johnny, take a walk with your sister the moon
Let her pale light in to fill up your room
You've been living underground, eating from a can
You've been running away from what you don't understand, love
[Pre-Chorus]
She's slippy, you're sliding down
She'll be there when you hit the ground
[Chorus]
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
She moves in mysterious ways
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
She moves in mysterious ways, oh
[Verse 2]
Johnny, take a dive with your sister in the rain
Let her talk about the things you can't explain
To touch is to heal, to hurt is to steal
If you wanna kiss the sky, better learn how to kneel
On your knees, boy
[Pre-Chorus]
She's the wave, she turns the tide
She sees the man inside the child, yeah
[Chorus]
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
She moves in mysterious ways, oh
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
She moves in mysterious ways, yeah
It's alright, it's alright, alright
Lift my days, light up my nights, oh
[Bridge]
One day you'll look back, and you'll see
Where you were held now by this love
While you could stand there
You could move on this moment
Follow this feeling
[Chorus]
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
She moves in mysterious ways
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
She moves in mysterious ways, oh
[Outro]
Love (It's alright, it's alright, alright)
Oh love, love love
Oh, oh (We move through miracle days)
Oh love love
Move you (It's alright, it's alright, alright)
Spirits move
Let it move (Spirit moves in mysterious ways)
Does it move you?
Oh, ah
Does it move you? (It's alright, it's alright, alright)
She moves me
Lift my days, light up my nights, oh
Acrobat Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Don't believe what you hear
Don't believe what you see
If you just close your eyes
You can feel the enemy
When I first met you, girl
You had fire in your soul
What happened to your face
Of melting snow?
Now it looks like this!
[Chorus]
And you can swallow or you can spit
You can throw it up, or choke on it
And you can dream, so dream out loud
You know that your time is coming 'round
So don't let the bastards grind you down
[Verse 2]
No, nothing makes sense
Nothing seems to fit
I know you'd hit out
If you only knew who to hit
And I'd join the movement
If there was one I could believe in
Yeah, I'd break bread and wine
If there was a church I could receive in
'Cause I need it now
[Chorus]
To take the cup, to fill it up
To drink it slow, I can't let you go
I must be an acrobat
To talk like this and act like that
And you can dream, so dream out loud
And don't let the bastards grind you down (Oh, save me)
[Bridge]
What are we going to do now it's all been said?
No new ideas in the house, and every book has been read
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
And I must be an acrobat
To talk like this and act like that
And you can dream, so dream out loud
And you can find your own way out
And you can build, and I can will
And you can call, I can't wait until
You can stash and you can seize
In dreams begin responsibilities
And I can love, and I can love
And I know that the tide is turning 'round
So don't let the bastards grind you down
Love Is Blindness Lyrics
[Chorus]
Love is blindness, I don't wanna see
Won't you wrap the night around me?
Oh, my heart
Love is blindness
[Verse 1]
In a parked car in a crowded street
You see your love made complete
Thread is ripping, the knot is slipping
Love is blindness
[Verse 2]
Love is clockworks and cold steel
Fingers too numb to feel
Squeeze the handle, blow out the candle
Love is blindness
[Chorus]
Love is blindness, I don't wanna see
Won't you wrap the night around me?
Oh, my love
Blindness
[Bridge]
A little death without mourning
No call and no warning
Baby, a dangerous idea
That almost makes sense
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Love is drowning in a deep well
All the secrets and no one to tell
Take the money, honey
Blindness
[Chorus]
Love is blindness, I don't wanna see
Won't you wrap the night around me?
Oh, my love
Blindness
