Don't you know what you're doing
You've got a death wish
Suicide blonde
Suicide blonde
Suicide blonde
Suicide blonde
Suicide blonde was the color of her hair
Like a cheap distraction for a new affair
She knew it would finish before it began
Wow baby I think you lost the plan
You want to make her suicide blonde
Love devastation, suicide blonde
You want to make her suicide blonde
Love devastation, suicide blonde
She stripped to the beat but her clothes stay on
White light everywhere but you can't see a thing
Such a squeeze
A mad sad moment
Glory to you
Glory to you
Take me there
Take me there
Got some revelation
Put into your hands
Save you from your misery like rain across the land
Don't you see the color of deception
Turning your world around again
You want to make her suicide blonde
Love devastation, suicide blonde
You want to make her suicide blonde
Love devastation, suicide blonde
You want to make
You want to make
You want to make her suicide blonde
You want to make
Aww
That's the story
You want to make her suicide blonde
Love devastation, suicide blonde
You want to make her suicide blonde
Love devastation, suicide blonde
Love devastation
You want to make her suicide blonde
Love devastation, suicide blonde

Disappear
Say I'm crying
I'm looking at what's on TV
Pain and suffering
And the struggle to be free
It can't ever be denied
And I never will ignore
But when I see you coming
I can take it all
You're so fine
Lose my mind
And the world seems to disappear
All the problems
All the fears
And the world seems to disappear
Say you're mine
And give yourself to the feelings that you know
I'm needing all that you can give me
All the things that you do so well
Words are healing
Sweet anticipation
Making spells as the shadows close in
Fall across all our yesterdays
You're so fine
Lose my mind
And the world seems to disappear
All the problems
All the fears
And the world seems to disappear
You're so fine
Lose my mind
And the world seems to disappear
All the problems
All the fears
And the world seems to disappear
Disappear
Disappear
Disappear
Disappear
Disappear
Disappear
Disappear
Say if I could
Look into myself and reason
But I could never never see
Or make sense of the dealings
Turn around
Am I looking at salvation
Make me realize all that I am
You put the light inside this man
You're so fine
Lose my mind
And the world seems to disappear
All the problems
All the fears
And the world seems to disappear
You're so fine
Lose my mind
And the world seems to disappear
All the problems
All the fears
And the world seems to disappear
You're so fine
Lose my mind
And the world seems to disappear
All the problems
All the fears
And the world seems to disappear
I'm looking at what's on TV
Pain and suffering
And the struggle to be free
It can't ever be denied
And I never will ignore
But when I see you coming
I can take it all
You're so fine
Lose my mind
And the world seems to disappear
All the problems
All the fears
And the world seems to disappear
Say you're mine
And give yourself to the feelings that you know
I'm needing all that you can give me
All the things that you do so well
Words are healing
Sweet anticipation
Making spells as the shadows close in
Fall across all our yesterdays
You're so fine
Lose my mind
And the world seems to disappear
All the problems
All the fears
And the world seems to disappear
You're so fine
Lose my mind
And the world seems to disappear
All the problems
All the fears
And the world seems to disappear
Disappear
Disappear
Disappear
Disappear
Disappear
Disappear
Disappear
Say if I could
Look into myself and reason
But I could never never see
Or make sense of the dealings

Am I looking at salvation
Make me realize all that I am
You put the light inside this man
You're so fine
Lose my mind
And the world seems to disappear
All the problems

And the world seems to disappear
You're so fine
Lose my mind
And the world seems to disappear

All the fears
And the world seems to disappear
You're so fine
Lose my mind
And the world seems to disappear
All the problems
All the fears
And the world seems to disappear

The Stairs
In a room above a busy street
The echoes of a life
The fragments and the accidents
Separated by incidents
Listen to by the walls
We share the same spaces
Repeated in the corridors
Performing the same movements
Story to story
Building to building
Street to street we pass each other
Story to story
Building to building
Street to street we pass each other
Listen to by the walls
We share the same spaces
Repeated in the corridors
Performing the same movements
The nature of your tragedy
Is chained around your neck
Do you lead or are you lead
Are you sure that you don't care?
There are reasons here to give your life
And follow in your way
The passion lives to keep your faith
Though all are different, all are great
Climbing as we fall
We dare to hold on to our fate
And steal away our destiny
To catch ourselves with quiet grace
Story to story
Building to building
Street to street
We pass each other on the stairs
Listen to by the walls
We share the same spaces
Repeated in the corridors
Performing the same movements
Story to story
Building to building
Street to street
We pass each other on the stairs
The echoes of a life
The fragments and the accidents

There are reasons here to give your life

Faith In Each Other
All the people
In this world
All the people
In this world
I gotta tell you it's alright
In this world
All the people
In this world
I gotta tell you it's alright
Look at the cover
Of a magazine
The pride of a nation
They're down on their knees
I gotta tell you
Let the people speak
I gotta tell you
Yeah, you got to have faith
In each other
All you ever, all you ever
Have for each other
They give us a reason
To go on living
It's all in the choices
That you have to make
I got to tell you
You better make them good
I got to tell you
All you got to have faith
In each other
All you ever
All you ever have for each other
All the people
In this world
All the people
In this whole wide world
I gotta tell you
Let the people speak
I got to tell you
All you got to have faith
In each other
All you ever
All you ever have for each other
Faith in each other
Faith in each other

By My Side
In the dark of the night
Those small hours
Uncertain and anxious
I need to call you
Rooms full of strangers
Some call me friend
But I wish you were so close to me
In the dark of night
Those small hours
I drift away
When I'm with you
In the dark of night
By my side
In the dark of night
By my side
I wish you were
I wish you were
Here comes the clown
His face is a wall
No window
No air at all
In the dark of night
These faces they haunt me
But I wish you were
So close to me
In the dark of night
By my side
In the dark of night
By my side
I wish you were
I wish you were
In the dark of night
By my side
In the dark of night
By my side
I wish you were
I wish you were
In the dark of night
These faces they haunt me
Well, I wish you were so close to me
Yes, I wish you were
By my side
Those small hours
Uncertain and anxious
I need to call you
Rooms full of strangers
Some call me friend
But I wish you were so close to me
In the dark of night
Those small hours
I drift away
When I'm with you
In the dark of night
By my side
In the dark of night
By my side
I wish you were
I wish you were
Here comes the clown
His face is a wall
No window
No air at all
In the dark of night
These faces they haunt me

Well, I wish you were so close to me
Yes, I wish you were

Lately
I never knew much
Enough was enough
The reasons were not always there
But the look in your eyes
Hides that surprise
I would never have counted on this
Well lately
You look around
You're wondering what your doing
Yeah lately
You look around
Your wondering what you seeing
What your doing
The taste of your freedom
Was sweeter than love
'Cause you never had a chance to live
Your blue sky calls
To seduce and bewitch
And give you the wings of your fate
Well lately
You look around
You're wondering what your doing
Yeah lately
You look around
Your wondering what you seeing
What your doing
I never knew much
Enough was enough
The reasons were not always there
But the look in your eyes
Hides that surprise
I would never have counted on this

Who Pays The Price
Yes it's dark sometimes
When the people are shoving
Pushing you into the ground
And you cry in the daylight
With the sun in your eyes
Even though you know your not alone
When the people are shoving
Pushing you into the ground
And you cry in the daylight
With the sun in your eyes
Even though you know your not alone
And it's all been felt before
You stare out through your window
And wonder if there's gonna be more
It brings you down
It's like a war
Who pays the price
If you want more
Quiet desperation of a million lives
Gonna make you change your ways
We got everything we wanted
But forgot how we got it
Just can't paint it golden anyway
And the strength of all you're giving
Is gonna make the changes
Tommorow's gonna bring a new day
It brings you down
It's like a war
Who pays the price
If you want more
As the years go by
Will it show on your face
Or stay hidden behind some door
Yeah you made your resolutions
With the will of a priest
But your not so sure anymore
And the reasons why you're living
Keep changing
Everytime you find a key you find more
It brings you down
It's like a war
Who pays the price
If you want more
[repeat till fade]

Know The Difference
You're driving all over town
In your big car
Windows down
Sweet perfume trails behind
The impression is in my mind
It's crazy how much I ache
For the moments we could make
Your girlfriends they like to talk
Yeah they told me about your boy
[Chorus]
What you do and what you say
Do you know the difference any way
Could I show you what's in store
'Cause I know you'll be wanting more
You're the kind of girl who knows
What you want and where it goes
You got instinct
You got class
Why don't you leave that guy on his ass
Good intensions are not enough
We should join hands and rise above
[Chorus]
It's crazy how much I ache
For the moments we could make
Your girlfriends they like to talk
Yeah they told me about your boy
You're driving all over town
In your big car
Windows down
Sweet perfume trails behind
The impression is on my mind
[Chorus]
In your big car

Sweet perfume trails behind
The impression is in my mind

Bitter Tears
In the mist
Of my endless search
The best in life
Becomes clear
The rest just begins to fade by itself
That's a trick I learnt, though it took so long
Bitter tears taste so sweet
I'm seein' my way for the first time in years
When the love around begins to suffer
And you can't find love in one, in one another
Push away those bitter tears, bitter tears
And I thought I was doin' no wrong
No wrong
And I thought I was doin' no wrong
No wrong
In the hour
Of your needs
Lips are tremblin' 'cause you're gonna be free
Realize what we're doin' here
The time is right to kill your fears
Bitter tears taste so sweet
I'm seein' my way for the first time in years
When the love around begins to suffer
And you can't find love in one, in one another
Push away those bitter tears, bitter tears
And I thought I was doin' no wrong, wrong, yeah
Hey
Push away those bitter tears
Push away those bitter tears
Push away those bitter tears
Push away those bitter tears, yeah
That's what they call doin' no wrong
That's what they call doin' no wrong
Push away those bitter tears, yeah
Push away those bitter tears
Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh
Push away, push away those bitter tears
Uh-huh, yeah
Hey
That's what they call doin' no wrong
Of my endless search
The best in life
Becomes clear
The rest just begins to fade by itself
That's a trick I learnt, though it took so long
Bitter tears taste so sweet
I'm seein' my way for the first time in years
When the love around begins to suffer
And you can't find love in one, in one another
Push away those bitter tears, bitter tears
And I thought I was doin' no wrong

On My Way
Shake make it forever
Curling from you lips
Faith and it's not over
Bring on that famous word
Love don't abuse it
And you'll never be sad again
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
Blood's getting hotter
Thinking about your hips
I feel all the hunger
The minute you turn away
I think it's getting better
But I can't wait another day
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
Make all your wishes
No sooner said than done
Here I come like I told you
Whether it's air, land or sea
She said this is the real thing
'Cause your never gonna find the door
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
Love don't abuse it
And you'll never be sad again
I'm on my way

Hear That Sound
So your time has come
Children watch the fools
Don't let anyone tell you
What you must do
Do you like what you see
Or does it make you cry
Use your imagination
And start a fire
[Chorus:]
Hear that sound
There's a voice to be found
Making changes go round
Hear that sound
And my selfish ways
Disappeared one day
With the realization
Of a new way
Images of the free
Coming into view
Our hearts full of promises
Of all we can do
[Chorus]
So your time has come
Children watch the fools
Don't let anyone tell you
What you must do
Do you like what you see
Or does it make you cry
Use your imagination
And start a fire
[Chorus]
Children watch the fools
Don't let anyone tell you
What you must do
Do you like what you see
Or does it make you cry
Use your imagination
And start a fire

X is the seventh studio album by Australian rock band INXS, released on 25 September 1990 through WEA in Australia, Mercury Records in Europe, and Atlantic Records in the United States and Canada. The follow-up to the massive seller Kick, X scored hits with "Suicide Blonde" and "Disappear" (both Top 10 in the US). Both singles were later used in the soundtrack to the 1991 American teen comedy Mystery Date. Two other singles from X were "Bitter Tears" and "By My Side" but they had less chart success. A fifth single, "The Stairs", was only issued in the Netherlands to coincide with the release of the Live Baby Live album.
X was the third consecutive INXS album produced by Chris Thomas. The title, the Roman numeral for "10", represents the band's tenth year since their debut album was released in 1980. X features a sample of blues-harp player Charlie Musselwhite on "Suicide Blonde", and Musselwhite himself playing on "Who Pays the Price" and "On My Way". In 2002, a remastered version of the album was released, which included five previously unreleased tracks.
