INXS - Welcome to Wherever You Are Lyrics






Questions

How do you know when it's time for you to go
How can you stop when you don't know how to start
How can you go back when you don't know why you're here
How can you see when your eyes begin to fade
How will you hear when you've heard it all before
How do you do all the things you want to do

How much can you take when you've taken all you can
Hoe can you act when you've never seen the script
How can you choose when you don't know which is right
How far can you go if you've been there before
How can you shine if you've never seen the sun
How does a child become a man without a child
How can you heal someone that doesn't want to heal

Heaven Sent

Your eyes are like deep wells of desire
Once in your arms I'm on fire
You were sent girl so perfectly true
Changing my life
Now I'm a survivor

Heaven sent
That's what I call you
Heaven sent
That's what I call you

Late at night when the evening fire has died
There's a look in your eye
Seductive images fly

Heaven sent
That's what I call you
Heaven sent
That's what I call you

One day you'll see what angels can see
Dressed in black if she comes back
I think I'll loose my mind

Tuesday she works
In the library uptown
Some useful knowledge
Can always be found
Don't burn the library
Till you've read all the books
Sometimes in life
You get a second look

Heaven sent
That's what I call you
Heaven sent
That's what I call you
Heaven sent
That's what I call you
Heaven sent
That's what I call you

Heaven sent
Heaven sent
Heaven sent
Heaven sent
Heaven sent

Communication

Light beams from outer space
Drifting to your satellite
Your dish responds

Communication disinformation
So entertaining
Blood money blood money
It's wild in here
There's a girl on the floor
She's gonna blow this place apart
Gonna take us all, all away

Communication disinformation
So entertaining
Blood money blood money
It's wild out here
You should see the light
From the crown of the king
The king of the night

Spinning metal blue satellite
Your dish responds

Communication disinformation
So entertaining
Blood money blood money
It's wild out here
Situation's alright
Gonna keep up the lies
And our version of life

I won't leave this dirty place
I'll stay here 'til the end
The lights are on
So action man
Show us the truth

Communication disinformation
So entertaining
Blood money blood money

There's a war out here
There's a bomb on the floor
Gonna blow this place apart
Gonna take this show away

Taste It

Yes it's me
I am the one
To make you see
Where we belong
I was shaking
Like a leaf
All wrapped up
In my dirty sheets
If I agree to what comes next
I would be faking
With the best of them
It seems a crime
I would commit
Without the difference
Of all the world's gifts

Sweet sweet sweet
Could you taste it

Never never never

Never never never (taste it)

To dream
All the time
Without a scream
In the dead of night
All those faces
Come back to me
I'll be begging
To swim that sea
Yea I made
A picture story
Make you cry
In all your glory
A need to quench
The thirst of many
To justify
And make ready

Sweet sweet sweet
Could you taste it

Never never never (taste it)
Never never never (taste it)
Never never never (taste it)
Never never never (taste it)

This realization
Owes us strength to show
If you're uncertain
You're invited to believe
These are the words I speak
These are the words I speak

A dislocation
From where we once came from
Give sons and daughters
Because we want to go on

These are the words she speaks
These are the words she speaks

Sweet sweet sweet
Could you taste it

Never never never (taste it)
Never never never (taste it)
Never never never (taste it)
Never never never (taste it)

Never never never
Never never never

Not Enough Time

And I was lost for words
In your arms
Attempting to make sense
Of my aching heart
If I could just be
Everything and everyone to you
This life would just be so easy

Not enough time for all
That I want for you
Not enough time for every kiss
And every touch and all the nights
I wanna be inside you

We will make time stop
For the two of us
Make time stop
And listen for our sighs

Not enough time for all
That I want for you
Not enough time for every kiss
And every touch and all the nights
I wanna be inside you

In our fight against the end
Making love we are immortal
We are the last two left on earth
And I was lost for words
In your arms
Attempting to make sense of
My aching heart
If I could just be everything
And everyone to you

Not enough time for all
That I want for you
Not enough time for every kiss
Not enough time for all my love
Not enough time for every touch

Not enough time for all
That I want for you
Not enough time for every kiss
And every touch and all the nights
I wanna be inside you

All Around

I see the rising sun
I feel the warming one
We've come a circle
To the way we once begun

No one's really sure
How to make it up
Or give a name to the way
We've been acting lately

All around
All around
All around
All around

A man he buy's a gun
He is his father's son
But one day he takes the gun
And the lives of one and many

Looking out one day
A message comes to me
I saw a woman tell the truth
And end up end up behind bars

All around
All around
All around
All around
All around
All around

I walked an empty street
Proud to spill a tear
Then came my shame
My fear to blame
The one and only

See the rising sun
Feel the warming one
We've come a circle
To the way we once begun

All around
All around...

Baby Dont Cry

[Chorus: x6]
Baby don't cry

When you're down and confused
Nothing seems right
And it's you who decides
Who's going to make it right

[Chorus: x4]

Well life ain't no joke
But it's good when you smile
Steal everything
But you won't get far

[Chorus: x4]

Sometimes you will fall
What cha gonna do?
Give your friend a call

[Chorus: x6]

We know that you can smile
Even though it takes a while
To lose your fears and say
Gonna lose your fears and say

[Chorus: x4]

Do you know who you are
And where you're going to
Don't you know that love
Gonna pull you
Gonna pull you through now baby

[Chorus: x6]

Baby don't cry, baby don't cry [Repeat: x4]

Face to face
Anything is possible
Not political, or analytical
Never giving up on the wrong
You got a choice
Why don't you use it
Change, is an attitude
Guaranteed to take hold of you
So welcome, to the turnstile
Take a turn with a new vow
Hey, I know what you know
All the sympathy
Made a mess of me
Respect the sacrifice
Before the number one
Now it has begun

[Chorus: x4]

Beautiful Girl

Nicky's in the corner
With a black coat on
Running from a bad home
With some cat inside
Now where did you find her
Among the neon lights
That haunt the streets outside, she says
Stay with me

Beautiful girl (stay with me)
Beautiful girl (stay with me)
She wanna go home

From doorway to doorway
Street corner to corner
With neon ghosts in the city
And she says

Stay with me
Stay with me
Stay with me
Stay with me

(Stay with me, stay with me)

She's so scared
So very frightened
Anything could happen
Right here tonight

Beautiful girl (stay with me)
Beautiful girl (stay with me)
She wants to go home

Stay with me (beautiful girl)
Stay with me (beautiful girl)
Stay with me (beautiful girl)
Stay with me, beautiful girl

Back On Line

Maybe there's something in me
Trying to hitch another ride
Have you ever felt this moment
When you're looking out of control
All the ways I could have taken
Just add up to indecision

I'm gonna get this back on line
To me there's no reason why
All my troubles soon be leaving
Wash away the pain of mine

Get me to the place I'm standing
There's a reason down below
Maybe there's something in me
Trying to take another ride
Have you ever felt the moment
When you're loosing all control

I'm gonna get this back on line
To me there's no reason why
All my troubles soon be leaving
Wash away the pain of mine

All my troubles soon be leaving [x4]

(Mine)
(Mine)
All my troubles soon be leaving

Strange Desire

My strange desire
Is waiting here
To be my light
My shadow my storm
This is all and
This is you
Turning into
Another dream
Please don't be
Another dream

Do you really think you're cared for
Do we really know we're loved
Look at all my resolutions
Promises to break your heart
Why do we make it hot to handle
Why do we lose our self control
Strange desire take me over
Offer me to the all above

This is all and this is you

Do you really think you're cared for
Do we really know we're loved
Look at all my resolutions
Promises to break your heart
Why do we make it hot to handle
Why do we lose our self control
Strange desire take me over
Offer me to the all above

Meet again touch again
Must have wanted
Some paradise
Long ago
That's unwise so unwise
Look again I said
Touch again
Believe your fate
That's alright that's alright

Do you really think you're cared for
Do we really know we're loved
Look at all my resolutions
Promises to break your heart
Why do we make it hot to handle
Why do we lose our self control
Strange desire take me over
Offer me to the all above

Do you really think you're cared for
Do we really know we're loved
Look at all my resolutions
Promises to break your heart
Why do we make it hot to handle
Why do we lose our self control
Strange desire take me over
Offer me to the all above

Do you really think you're cared for
Do we really know we're loved
Look at all my resolutions
Promises to break your heart
Why do we make it hot to handle
Why do we lose our self control
Strange desire take me over
Offer me to the all above

Men And Women

I can't see how I can
Turn around what has been done
I was just like a child
With my eyes wide open

History and any cause
And my eyes are still open
But my mouth my mouth is shut
I'm closing off the lies

Making my own mind up
When I can I will
How many dirty little secrets
Were kept behind my back?

Men and women
Men and women
Men and women
Giving each other the sham

I don't see
How I can turn around what has been done
I was just like a child
With my eyes wide open

Hungry at any cost
Now my eyes are still open
But my mouth my mouth is shut
I'm closing out the lies and promises

Men and women
Men and women
Men and women

Giving me the sham
Giving me the sham
Giving me the sham

Men and women
Men and women
Giving me the sham

Men and women
Men and women
Giving me the sham

Back to: INXS


Welcome to Wherever You Are is the eighth studio album by Australian rock band INXS, which was released on 3 August 1992. With grunge and alternative music breaking into the mainstream, INXS tried to establish a new direction for itself, incorporating sitars, a 60-piece orchestra, and a much more "raw" sound to their music. In its four star review of the album, Q called it "... a far more engaging and heartfelt collection than anything the group has put out in recent memory ... It rocks," and listed it as one of the 50 Best Albums of 1992. It was the first album by an Australian artist to debut on the UK album chart at number one since AC/DC's Back in Black, released in 1980.

Despite the positive critical reception, along with charting well on most countries' album charts (including topping the UK chart and reaching number two in Australia), the album marked a commercial decline for the band, especially in the United States, where it only peaked at number 16 on the Billboard 200 album chart. The commercial decline was partially due to the lack of promotion by their label and changing musical tastes towards grunge and alternative. Also hurting promotions, the band elected to take a break and not tour in support of the album. The plan was that the band would instead record the follow-up (which went on to become 1993's Full Moon, Dirty Hearts) and then tour in support of both albums. The downside of this, however, was that Welcome to Wherever You Are faded from press and public attention more quickly, and, as a result, failed to match the success of INXS's two previous albums, Kick and X.

While the single "Baby Don't Cry" was a Top 20 hit in the UK, the album's biggest American hit was "Not Enough Time", which reached No. 2 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart and stayed there for five consecutive weeks.

In 2002, a remastered version of the album was released, which included five previously unreleased tracks.
