INXS - Listen Like Thieves Lyrics






What You Need

Hey, here is the story
Forget about the trouble in life
Don't you know, it's not easy
When you gotta walk upon that line

That's why - You need
That's why - This is what you need
I'll give you what you need

Don't you get sad and lonely
You need a change from
What you do all day
Ain't no sense in all your crying
Just pick it up and throw it into shape

Hey you, won't you listen
This is not the end of it all
Don't you see there is a rhythm
I'll take you where you
Really need to be

Listen Like Thieves

On the talk back show
On the radio
At the local bar
In the hot traffic
By the red tail lights

Everybody's down on their knees
Listen like thieves
But who needs that
When it's all in your hands

And we take it down
To the end of town
Where they have control
But they're loosing touch
When the lights go out

You are all you need
You are all you need
So don't hesitate
There's no time to waste
You just do it for yourself

Kiss the Dirt (Falling Down the Mountain)

Playing in the dirt
We find the seeds of doubt
Don't water them with your tears
Don't think about all the years
You'd rather be without

Eden lets me in
I find the seeds of love
And climb upon the highwire
I kiss and tell all my fears

Falling down the mountain
End up kissing dirt
Look a little closer
Sometimes it wouldn't hurt

Playing in the dirt
We find the seeds of fun
And we scream like alley cats
Tearing down what we attack
To prove that we are one

Cutting through the night
And we find the seeds of lust
And lose our minds on one intent
These passions never seem to end

Shine Like It Does

This is the power
Since time began
Every single hour
That we have known
And from each moment
All that is left
Sleep of the innocent
Just one desire

Shine like it does
Into every heart
Shine like it does
And if you're looking
You will find it
You will find it

This is the story
Since time began
There will come a day
When we will know

Good Bad Times

You must have heard
Of all the rules
Thick and thin
Teaches you hard
And all the tricks
Come back on you
Leave them behind
There's a better way
A better way

All along you must have known
Where your life was leading
The good and bad times
Where your life was leading

And I know you've been through hell
Yes I know all about it
And I've seen your cool white face
But I can't seem to care about it
Care about it

Biting Bullets

Don't you wonder
Is anyone that strong
It takes me under
Believing what I'm seeing
I get so tired
Of watching friends go down
The hungry tiger
For all who never began

Biting bullets
Biting the clouds
Biting bullets
Biting the clouds

I saw the show
Shaking all the babies
Should I believe
The parade of clever lies
Shadow of light
In the shadow of death
There is no difference
For all who never began

I loose myself like anybody else
But I'm not so strong to make it in the end
I need some answers when
The day comes crashing down
But it's all over when there's
No one to be found

This Time

I will believe you
If you say it's true
Girl you know I need you more than any
Word spoken
I've seen you before
Turn and walk away
You say you won't come back
It's a game anyway

We are hoping - yes we are praying
This time will be the last time
That we will fight like this

We are always wanting
Things we cannot find
You know that we are always wasting
Time

You know I can forget
We have fought before
I've seen inside your heart
And I know it's breaking

Same Direction

There are few of us
Who will ever know
We're counting on every day
I'm not sure about
Why things are going this way
Believe it - you can see it

And we all just need the same thing
Tell you what I know
We're heading in the same direction
So never let it go

I will turn around
Try to understand
All of the feelings unsaid
If your serious
Love is dangerous
It changes my world everyday

Believe it - you can see it

One X One

And when your heart stops beating
And the stars stop shining
When all your tears go dry
Honey one by one
I will still be there
I will sing your song
And come to you
Oh oh all night long

And is this all that it seems
Cause this is all that we need
When all the thorns are cut away
Baby one by one
Will you still be there
Will you sing my song
And come with me
Oh oh all night long

And all your kisses linger
Like they always do
Let all that spirit in you
Take it to the end
I will still be there
I will sing your song
And come to you all night long

Red Red Sun

There's a red red sun
And it's coming for you
I tell it a story
As it sinks out of view

One sun apart
One heart within
Red sun shines on
Sees no tomorrow
Sees no tomorrow

There's a girl far away
And she's calling my name
With a tower of love
And a shadow of pain

There's a red red sun
And it's coming for you
To waken your heart
Like you know I always will do
