Lyrics:
Forfeit the game
Before somebody else takes you out of the frame
And puts your name to shame
Cover up your face
You can't run the race
The pace is too fast, you just won't last (last)
You love the way I look at you
While taking pleasure in the awful things you put me through
You take away if I give in
My life, my pride is broken
Forfeit the game
Before somebody else takes you out of the frame
And puts your name to shame
Cover up your face
You can't run the race
The pace is too fast, you just won't last
Forfeit the game
Before somebody else takes you out of the frame
And puts your name to shame
Cover up your face
You can't run the race
The pace is too fast, you just won't last
I won't believe a word you say
I'll cut to pieces by the sound of every breath you take
Swimming through a sea of hurt
My life, my pride is stronger
Forfeit the game
Before somebody else takes you out of the frame
And puts your name to shame
Cover up your face
You can't run the race
The pace is too fast, you just won't last
Forfeit the game
Before somebody else takes you out of the frame
And puts your name to shame
Cover up your face
You can't run the race
The pace is too fast, you just won't last
It's time to sink or swim
It's time to sink or swim
It's time to sink or swim
To see who gets scared when the lights go dim
It's time to sink or swim
To see who gets scared when the lights go dim
It's time to sink or swim
To see who gets scared when the lights go dim
Forfeit the game
Before somebody else takes you out of the frame
And puts your name to shame
Cover up your face
You can't run the race
The pace is too fast, you just won't last
Forfeit the game
Before somebody else takes you out of the frame
And puts your name to shame
Cover up your face
You can't run the race
The pace is too fast, you just won't last
I'm hanging by a thread
My skin's paper thin, I can't stop wavering
I've never been more scared
Cry your heart out
It'll clean your face
When you're in doubt
Go at your own pace
Cry your heart out
It'll clean your face
When you're in doubt
Go at your own pace
All love is devout
No feeling is a waste
But give it to yourself now
Before it's too late
In the end, it's just you
Stop drowning in wait
Your love is useless without it
Cry your heart out (yeah)
It'll clean your face
When you're in doubt
Go at your own pace
You had people who called you on unmarked numbers
In my peripheral vision
I let it slide like a hose on a slippery plastic summer
All was quickly forgiven
You were so magnetic it was almost obnoxious
Flush with the currency of cool
I was always turning out my empty pockets
And when it came to you
I didn't come here to make friends
We were born to be suburban legends
When you hold me, it holds me together
And you kiss me in a way that's gonna screw me up forever
I had the fantasy that maybe our mismatched star signs would surprise the whole school
When I ended up back at our class reunion walking in with you
You'd be more than a chapter in my old diaries with the pages ripped out
I am standing in a 1950s gymnasium and I can still see you now
I didn't come here to make friends
We were born to be suburban legends
When you hold me, it holds me together
And you kiss me in a way that's gonna screw me up forever
I know that you still remember
We were born to be national treasures
When you told me we'd get back together
And you kissed me in a way that's gonna screw me up forever
Tick-tock on the clock
I pace down your block
I broke my own heart 'cause you were too polite to do it
Waves crash on the shore
I dash to the door
You don't knock anymore
And my whole life's ruined
Tick-tock on the clock
I pace down your block
I broke my own heart 'cause you were too polite to do it
Waves crash to the shore
I dash to the door
You don't knock anymore
And I always knew it
That my life would be ruined
forfeit the game, before somebody takes you out of the frame

forfeit the game, before somebody takes you out of the frame

I have a very good friend
The kind of girl who likes to follow a trend
She has a personal style
Some people like it, others tend to go wild
You hear her voice everywhere
Taking the chair
She's a leading lady
And with no trace of hesitation, she keeps going
Head over heels, breaking her way
Pushing through unknown jungles every day
She's a girl with a taste for the world
(The world is like a playing ground where she goes rushing)
Head over heels, setting the pace
Running the gauntlet in a whirl of lace
She's extreme, if you know what I mean
Her man is one I admire
He's so courageous but he's constantly tired
Each time when he speaks his mind
She pats his head and says, "That's all very fine
Exert that will of your own
When you're alone
Now we'd better hurry"
And with no trace of hesitation, she keeps going
Head over heels, breaking her way
Pushing through unknown jungles every day
She's a girl with a taste for the world
(The world is like a playing ground where she goes rushing)
Head over heels, setting the pace
Running the gauntlet in a whirl of lace
She's extreme, if you know what I mean
You hear her voice everywhere
Taking the chair
She's a leading lady
And with no trace of hesitation, she keeps going
Head over heels, breaking her way
Pushing through unknown jungles every day
She's a girl with a taste for the world
(The world is like a playing ground where she goes rushing)
Head over heels, setting the pace
Running the gauntlet in a whirl of lace
She's extreme, if you know what I mean
(Think she's one of those who always has to do whatever she please)
And she goes head over heels
I have a very good friend
The kind of girl who likes to follow a trend
She has a personal style
Some people like it, others tend to go wild
You hear her voice everywhere
Taking the chair
She's a leading lady
And with no trace of hesitation, she keeps going
Head over heels, breaking her way
Pushing through unknown jungles every day

And with no trace of hesitation, she keeps going
Head over heels, breaking her way
Pushing through unknown jungles every day
She's a girl with a taste for the world
(The world is like a playing-ground where she goes rushing)
Head over heels, setting the pace
Running the gauntlet in a whirl of lace
She's extreme, if you know what I mean
You hear her voice everywhere
Taking the chair
She's a leading lady
And with no trace of hesitation, she keeps going
Head over heels, breaking her way
Pushing through unknown jungles every day
She's a girl with a taste for the world

And she goes head over heels

Nothingville
Only just a two-bit town
Where nothing's real
They treat me like a country clown
Nothingville
I ain't gonna keep-a-hangin' round'
The doors keep slammin' in my face
People keep puttin' me in my place
It's a rat's race at a snail's pace
Nothingville...Nothingville
Nothingville.....
War is overdue
The time has come for you
To shoot your leaders down
Join forces underground
Lose control
In increasing pace
Wantonly waste
Intention erased
Whatever they say
These people are torn
Wild and bereft
Assassin is born, yeah
Whoa, yeah
(Aim, shoot, kill your leaders)
(Aim, kill them all)
Oppose and disagree
Destroy demonocracy
Lose control
In increasing pace
Wantonly waste
Intention erased
Whatever they say
These people are torn
Wild and bereft
Assassin is born, yeah
(Go)
Oh, Madre benedetta
Madre amorosa e pia
Oh, Vergine Maria
Tu che conosci il dolore
Prega per noi il Salvatore
Prega per noi
E non abbandonarci mai
Madre Santa, pietà
Abbi di noi, di noi pietà
Per la pace nei cuor
Prega tu il Salvator
E trionfi l'amor
Pietà
Madre Santa, pietà
Di noi pietà
E non abbandonarci mai
Madre Santa, pietà
Abbi di noi, di noi pietà
Per la pace nei cuor
Prega tu il Salvator
E trionfi l'amor
Pietà
Madre Santa, pietà
Di noi pietà
This land today, shall draw its last breath
And take into its ancient depths
This frail reminder of its giant, dreaming self
While I, with human-hindered eyes
Unequal to the sweeping curve of life
Stand on this single print of time
Human wheels spin round and round
While the clock keeps the pace
Human wheels spin round and round
Help the light to my face
That time, today, no triumph gains
At this short success of age
This pale reflection of its brave and
Blundering deed
For I, descend from this vault
Now dreams beyond my earthly fault
Knowledge, sure, from the seed
Human wheels spin round and round
While the clock keeps the pace
Human wheels spin round and round
Help the light to my face
This land, today, my tears shall taste
And take into its dark embrace
This love, who in my beating heart endures
Assured, by every sun that burns
The dust to which this flesh shall return
It is the ancient, dreaming dust of God
Human wheels spin round and round
While the clock keeps the pace
Human wheels spin round and round
Help the light to my face
Human wheels spin round and round
While the clock keeps the pace
Human wheels spin round and round
Help the light to my face
With words at twenty paces, lord, it's love we're gunnin' down.
So I smoke a little too much, and I drink a little too much,
And the tunes I request are not always the best,
But the ones where the trumpets blare,
So I go at a maddening pace,
And I pretend that it's taking her place,
But what else can you do at the end of a love affair?
I stood on faith and the corner of ambition
I came here to sink or swim
And to show them all that they were wrong
And though I never thought I'd make it this far
So the curtains are down
For the moment I'm someone
There were those in the wings who waited,
Who came this way
Now there gone
But there's always someone at home
Who never forgets who you are
When I'm down and I'm growing old
I won't be along no railroad track
I won't be bound to a life out in the cold
It's been a steady pace to keep my steps
Between these cracks on Broadway
And my stride in rhythm to
The beat of home, sweet home
When I'm down and I'm growing old
I won't be along no railroad track
I won't be bound to a life out in the cold
It's been a steady pace to keep my steps
Between these cracks on Broadway
And my stride in rhythm to
The beat of home, sweet home
Can't go on,
I'm on the top of my better years
I'm going home,
It's too lonesome on the bottom rung here
It's been a steady pace to keep my steps
Between these cracks on Broadway
And my stride in rhythm to
The beat of home, sweet home
Be still my beating heart
It would be better to be cool
It's not time to be open just yet
A lesson once learned is so hard to forget
Be still my beating heart
Or I'll be taken for a fool
It's not healthy to run at this pace
The blood runs so red to my face
I've been to every single book I know
To soothe the thoughts that plague me so
I sink like a stone that's been thrown in the ocean
My logic has drowned in a sea of emotion
Stop before you start
Be still my beating heart
Be still my beating heart
You must learn to stand your ground
It's not healthy to run at this pace
The blood runs so red to my face
I've been to every single book I know
To soothe the thoughts that plague me so
Stop before you start
Be still my beating heart
Never to be wrong
Never to make promises that break
It's like singing in the wind
Or writing on the surface of a lake
And I wriggle like a fish caught on dry land
Struggle to avoid any help at hand
I sink like a stone that's been thrown in the ocean
My logic has drowned in a sea of emotion
Stop before you start
Be still my beating heart
Estate
Sei calda come i baci che ho perduto
Sei piena di un amore che è passato
Che il cuore mio vorrebbe cancellar
Odio l'estate
Il sole che ogni giorno ci saldava
Che splendidi tramonti dipingeva
Adesso brucia solo con furor
Tornerà un altro inverno
Cadranno mille petali di rose
La neve coprirà tutte le cose
E forse un po' di pace tornerà
Odio l'estate
Che hai dato il tuo profumo ad ogni fiore
L'estate che hai creato il nostro amore
Per farmi poi morire di dolor
Tornerà un altro inverno
Cadranno mille petali di rose
La neve coprirà tutte le cose
E forse un po' di pace tornerà
Odio l'estate
Odio l'estate
Odio l'estate
Arrivare, partire, che gusto mi da
Sono un mago poeta con due identità
Sono quel vagabondo che pace non ha
Amo solo me stesso e la mia libertà
E apprezzo la donna, le sue ambiguità
La bellezza in sé stessa, la spontaneità
Sono quel vagabondo che pace non ha
Io non sono fedele, amo la fedeltà
Quante volte dico che cambierò
Ma intenzioni vere non ne ho
Quello che mi piace io lo avrò
Ma, per quanto proverò
Vagabondo resterò
Amo pane e salame, la frugalità
Lo spumante e il caviale, l'ebbrezza che dà
Sono quel vagabondo che pace non ha
Ma mi sento contento, non vivo a metà
Ho una grande paura del tempo che va
Della gente che parla, che opina e non sa
Sono quel vagabondo che pace non ha
Forse vengo da un mondo che sta al di là
Quante volte dico che cambierò
Ma intenzioni vere non ne ho
Quello che mi piace io lo avrò
Ma, per quanto proverò
Vagabondo resterò
Ma, per quanto proverò
Vagabondo resterò
You know I gotta go
Got to find a place
Get away
From the human race
Find a place where the air is clear
On a sunny day, sunny day
I got to find
A Hideaway, hideaway
Hideaway
Hideaway
Hideaway
Hideaway
You know I gotta leave
Got to find a place, any place
Get away
From the city pace, city pace
I gotta go out where the air is fresh and clear
On a sunny day, sunny day
And I got to find
A hideway, yeah yeah
Oh, southern breeze
Knock me to my knees
I believe you're the only one who can
The religious and the rest
They've all tried their best
Well I guess some things you just don't understand
Oh Lord, when will the road run out
I'm on the road but I'm in doubt
And I don't know why, still I second guess my pace
If I stand to lose from winning
To find the truth I'm willing
