Bones sinking like stones
All that we've fought for
Homes, places we've grown
All of us are done for
And we live in a beautiful world
Yeah, we do

We live in a beautiful world
Bones sinking like stones
All that we've fought for
Homes, places we've grown
All of us are done for
And we live in a beautiful world

Shiver
So I look in your direction
But you pay me no attention, do you?
I know you don't listen to me
'Cause you say you see straight through me, don't you?
But on and on, from the moment I wake
To the moment I sleep
I'll be there by your side
Just you try and stop me
I'll be waiting in line
Just to see if you care
Oh-oh
Did you want me to change?
Well I changed for good
And I want you to know
That you'll always get your way
I wanted to say
Don't you shiver
Shiver
Sing it loud and clear
I'll always be waiting for you
So you know how much I need you
But you never even see me, do you?
And is this my final chance of getting you?
But on and on, from the moment I wake
To the moment I sleep
I'll be there by your side
Just you try and stop me
I'll be waiting in line
Just to see if you care, if you care
Oh-oh
Did you want me to change?
Well I changed for good
And I want you to know
That you'll always get your way
I wanted to say
Don't you shiver
Don't you shiver
Sing it loud and clear
I'll always be waiting for you
Yeah, I'll always be waiting for you
Yeah, I'll always be waiting for you
Yeah, I'll always be waiting for you
For you, I will always be waiting
And it's you I see, but you don't see me
And it's you I hear, so loud and so clear
I sing it loud and clear
And I'll always be waiting for you
So I look in your direction
But you pay me no attention
And you know how much I need you
But you never even see me
But you pay me no attention, do you?
I know you don't listen to me
'Cause you say you see straight through me, don't you?
But on and on, from the moment I wake
To the moment I sleep
I'll be there by your side
Just you try and stop me
I'll be waiting in line

Spies
I awake to find no peace of mind
I said, how do you live as a fugitive
Down here where I cannot see so clear
I said, what do I know
Show me the right way to go
And the spies came out of the water
But you're feeling so bad cos you know
But the spies hide out in every corner
But you can't touch them no
Cos they're all spies
They're all spies
I awake to see that no one is free
We're all fugitives
Look at the way we live
Down here I cannot sleep from fear no
I said which way do I turn
I forget everything I learned
But the spies came out of the water
But you're feeling so bad cos you know
But the spies hide out in every corner,
But you can't touch them no
Cos they're all spies they're all spies
And if we don't hide here
They're going to find us
If we don't hide now
They're going to catch us where we sleep
And if we don't hide here
They're going to find us
And the spies came out of the water
And you're feeling so good cos you know
That those spies hide out in every corner
They can't touch you no
Cos they're just spies
They're just spies
They're just spies
They're just spies
They're just spies
I said, how do you live as a fugitive
Down here where I cannot see so clear
I said, what do I know

And the spies came out of the water
But you're feeling so bad cos you know
But the spies hide out in every corner
But you can't touch them no
Cos they're all spies
They're all spies
I awake to see that no one is free
We're all fugitives
Look at the way we live

Look at the stars
Look how they shine for you
And everything you do
Yeah, they were all yellow

Turn into something beautiful
You know

Trouble
Oh no, I see
A spider web is tangled up with me
And I lost my head
And thought of all the stupid things I'd said
Oh no, what's this?
A spider web and I'm caught in the middle
So I turned to run
The thought of all the stupid things I've done
And I, I never meant to cause you trouble
And I, I never meant to do you wrong
And I, well if I ever caused you trouble
Oh no, I never meant to do you harm
Oh no, I see
A spider web and it's me in the middle
So I twist and turn
Here am I in my little bubble
Singing out, I never meant to cause you trouble
And I, I never meant to do you wrong
And I, well, if I ever caused you trouble
Oh, no, I never meant to do you harm
They spun a web for me
They spun a web for me
They spun a web for me
A spider web is tangled up with me
And I lost my head
And thought of all the stupid things I'd said
Oh no, what's this?
A spider web and I'm caught in the middle
So I turned to run
The thought of all the stupid things I've done
And I, I never meant to cause you trouble
And I, I never meant to do you wrong
And I, well if I ever caused you trouble
Oh no, I never meant to do you harm
Oh no, I see
A spider web and it's me in the middle
So I twist and turn
Here am I in my little bubble
Singing out, I never meant to cause you trouble
And I, I never meant to do you wrong
And I, well, if I ever caused you trouble
Oh, no, I never meant to do you harm

High Speed
Can anybody fly this thing?
Before my head explodes,
Or my head starts to ring.
We've been living life inside a bubble,
We've been living life inside a bubble.
Confidence in you,
Is confidence in me,
Is confidence in high speed.
Can anybody stop this thing?
Before my head explodes,
Or my head starts to ring.
We've been living life inside a bubble,
We've been living life inside a bubble.
Confidence in you,
Is confidence in me,
Is confidence in high speed.
High speed,
High speed.
High speed you on,
High speed you on,
High speed you on,
High speed.
Before my head explodes,
Or my head starts to ring.
We've been living life inside a bubble,
We've been living life inside a bubble.
Confidence in you,
Is confidence in me,
Is confidence in high speed.
Can anybody stop this thing?
Before my head explodes,
Or my head starts to ring.
We've been living life inside a bubble,
We've been living life inside a bubble.
Confidence in you,

High speed,
High speed.
High speed you on,
High speed you on,
High speed you on,
High speed.

I wanna live life, never be cruel,
I wanna live life, be good to you.
I wanna fly, never come down,
And live my life,
And have friends around.
We never change, do we?
We never learn, do we?
So I wanna live in a wooden house,
I wanna live life, always be true,
I wanna live life, and be good to you,
I wanna fly, and never come down,
And I live my life, and have friends around.
We never change do we? No, no,
We never learned to leave.
So I wanna live in a wooden house,
Making more friends would be easy.
