Lyrics


1. TIED TO THE TRACKS

What are you doing here in my nightmare?
In my nightmare
Stepping back into the stupidness gets me nowhere
Gets me nowhere

Look at you now, you look like an angel in hell
Look at you now, drowning in your wishing well
Look at you now, all those stories and there's no one to tell
Look at you now

Do you think you can find a place for your dreams in my nightmares?

And you're tied to the tracks but the train broke down
Wake me up and let me go and somebody I used to know
From somewhere in my nightmare
Don't you remember the years we got nowhere
We got nowhere

Look at you now, you look like an angel in hell
Look at you now, drowning in your wishing well
Look at you now, all those strories and there's no one to tell
Look at you now

Do you think you can find a place for your dreams in my nightmares?

And you're playing with a deck of jokers,
But there's always one more sucker
And you're tied to the tracks but the train broke down
Trapped at the top of the merry-go-round
But it won't let you down

Look at you now, you look like an angel in hell
Look at you now, drowning in your wishing well
Look at you now, all those strories and there's no one to tell
Look at you now

Do you think you can find a place for my dreams?


2. LONG WAY HOME

You've got eyes but they can't see
What's inside the TV and they never look at me
You won't know and you never claim to show
That special feeling inside

Oh, how time flies when it's got nowhere to go
Up to the skies and it only goes to show
I've waited here for you a long, long time
I think I'd better go

Long way home (×6)

Now you studied the changes
Lost your way
Through all the strangeness
Got no more to say
You look at the stars in the cold dark night

Long way home (×8)
