Paroles (The Trick To Life)
01 - Worried About Ray
Truth be told, the truth be told
I'm worried what the future holds, the future holds
I'm starting to worry about Ray
Truth be told, the truth be told
I'm worried what the future holds, the future holds
I'm seriously worried about Ray
They say the future's out to get you
(You) know that I wont let you fall
Truth be told, the truth be told
Im treading on my tippy toes, my tippy toes
I'm starting to worry about Ray
Truth be told, the truth be told
Im treading on my tippy toes, my tippy toes
I'm painfully so worried about Ray
The futures out to get you, the futures out to get you all
Truth be told, the truth be told,
I'm worried bout the future holds, the future holds
I'm sick and tired of being worried about Ray
You got out the wrong side of bed and liked it
The only love you get is unrequited
Morning Monday all week long's not healthy
But being happy's only for the wealthy
You can't see past the worst case scenario
You'd be happier instead if you stayed in bed
I pray one day I'll live to see you break a smile
Wallow in your miserable mess as you tend to
You mastered looking unimpressed, do I offend you?
Morning Monday all week long's not healthy
But being happy's only for the wealthy
I saw a fox by the rabbit hole
You saw a prince from a fairytale
He promised that he'd watch over you
Turned out to be the fox we all knew
Too good to be true, what chance did you stand?
Take flight, turn tail, get out while you can
Run rabbit run, as fast as you can
Don't look back
Run rabbit run, as fast as you can
Don't look back
He'd dance to your beat, and steal your heart
And smile with those teeth and tear you apart
Hounds on your heels, you daren't stop for breath
You'll wear yourself out, 'til there's nothing left
There's a hole in your logic,
You who know all the answers, (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
You claim science ain't magic, (Oo-oo-oo-oo)
And expect me to buy it
Goodbye Mr A,
You promised you would love us, but you knew too much,
Goodbye Mr A,
You had all the answers but no human touch,
If life is subtraction, your number is up,
Your love is a fraction, it's not adding up
So busy showing me where I'm wrong,
You forgot to switch your feelings on, (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
So, so superior, are you not?
You'd love a little bit but you forgot
Goodbye Mr A,
The world was full of fun til you opened my eyes,
Goodbye Mr A,
Wish you hadn't blown my mind and killed the surprise,
People are puppets held together with string
There's a beautiful sadness that runs through him
He asked me to pray to the God he doesn't believe in
Time and again boys race to be men
Impatient they start, fearful they end,
But here was a man mourning tomorrow
He drank, but finally drowned in his sorrow
He could not break surface tension
He looked in the wrong place for redemption
Don't look at me with those eyes
I tried to anaethetise
Turn back the tide that drew him
He couldn't be saved
A sadness runs through him
I need you to reach me teach me how to love
I need you to reach me teach me how to love
Because I must have got it wrong
If I had love then it's gone
I've been living without it for oh so long
And that's the way it goes I suppose
We've made enough mistakes between
The two of us to sink this thing
But we're still clinging on for life
I must have got it wrong
If I had love then it's gone
I've been living without it for oh so long
And that's the way it goes
When your head but can suppose
And instead of answers
It's full of 'I don't know's'
And that's the way it goes I suppose
07 - Cops And Robbers
We're laying down the law and your name's mud
So you'd like to be a member of the human race
You want to be a good boy but you couldn't stand the taste
Blame Simon, cos he said
You've got two lives down, you got one life left
Blame Simon, cos he said
You can think better with a hole in your head
If we catch a criminal, when we catch a criminal,
There's nothing we can do
But play cops and robbers, cops and robbers
If we catch a criminal, when we catch a criminal
There's nothing we can do
But play cops and robbers, cops and robbers
You got your revolution but you're waging war again
Marching on the spot when you should have made amends
You say you'll fight for us, cross your heart and hope to die
You're a bully on a playground and we'll hang you out to dry
Hypnotised by mirrors, you should look out your window
Beneath cracked panes of ice, your sky's on fire
Drowned by the screams of decadence, a call to arms
Too busy working out to work it out
It's not gonna matter what you chose
It's too late when everything goes
Creeping up on you, it knows your name
All that you left behind will never be the same
It's come for all that you hold dear, she starts to cry
And here's a song to break your heart
You're looking in the dark
And I can't see it's getting late
In the night we make mistakes
Would you leave yourself alone
If everything goes dark?
Would you lighten up your tone
If everything goes dark?
I hate my work, but I'm in control
I'm fearless now, but it cost my soul
Save yourselves, the moon is full
Under it's power, gravitational pull
Blood red lips, they shake like leaves
You're flesh and blood, but what's underneath?
Don't turn out the lights
Kiss yourself good night cos there's a killer
And he's coming after you
Kiss yourself goodnight tonight
Cos there's a killer and he's coming after you
It's alright to scream, I'm screaming too
Why'd you think I do the things I do?
For shadows haunted me like ghosts
So I became what I feared the most
I conduct fear like electricity
A man-made monstrosity
Everything you love turns to dust
You'd make more of it but you felt rushed
By all that's periphary
You held tight, but on the contrary
The trick to life is not to get too attached to it
The trick to life is not to get too attached to it
You'd kill for answers but learn to live with
Questions: "who" "what" "why" "how" and "if"
I'll sit back detached tear our your hair
Oh but on the contrary...
Everyone you love turns to dust
You'd jump off the edge but you felt pushed
By all that's unnecessary
You tread but you're off on the wrong foot
Don't look your life passed you by
Cos you're too attached to it
Put up your barricades, there's money to be made
Continue your charades, there's money to be made
What you're asking for means the world to me
You draw close as you whisper: 'precisely'
Your safety assured behind those egg-shell walls of yours
Your safety assured behind those egg-shell walls of yours
Friends and family glide by on wings of faith
Faithlessly I don't recognise a face
Not a single face
Take this sorry soul
I've made enough of a mess on my own
On my own
You sent the sun round the Earth
Made me feel twice what I'm worth
13 -Ruby Blue
You're left high and dry, 'cause she didn't catch you
You'd settle for her, but she wouldn't let you
What did you expect,
When you're looking for someone who's perfect?
My eyes keep on searching for Ruby Blue
So I might as well just make do with you
She won't scale the heights that your standards set her
Ruby Blue's in sight, what could you do better?
What did you expect,
When you're looking for someone who's perfect?
It strikes me as stange that loneliness is unattractive
Did you compromise?
Would you backtrack if you
Could swap your suffocating comfort and time?
Your ruby's blue
Sense never seemed to make sense to me
Not the sense you administered repeatedly
I fled to the hills so I could clear my mind
I couldn't swallow the pills that I was prescribed
People didn't always like each other did they?
People didn't always get along
I read the news but it wasn't good
Because the bad guys won when the good guys should
Who was it that told you that the worlds not black?
It's a reputable source; can it be taken as fact?
Oooh you know you never get to find out anyway
The game plays us for fools
And no, you're never gonna get to have the final say
Don't get to make the rules
People always looking for something they can't find
One mans fact another's trick of the mind
One man falls another takes his place
He chases the win until the end of his days
One man falls another takes his place
One man falls another takes his place
One man falls another takes.
