Heaven- a gateway, I hope.
Just like the feeling inside, it’s no joke.
And though it hurts me to treat you this way,
Betrayed by words I’d never heard, too hard to say.

Up, down, turn around,
Please don’t let me hit the ground.
Tonight, I think I’ll walk alone,
I’ll find my soul as I go home.
(x2)

Each way I turn, I know I’ll always try
To break this circle that’s been placed around me.
From time to time, I find I’ve lost some need
That was urgent to myself, I do believe.

Up, down, turn around,
Please don’t let me hit the ground.
Tonight, I think I’ll walk alone,
I’ll find my soul as I go home.
(x2)

Oh, you’ve got green eyes,
Oh, you’ve got blue eyes,
Oh, you’ve got grey eyes.

Oo, you’ve got green eyes,
Oh, you’ve got blue eyes,
Oh, you’ve got red eyes.
And I’ve never seen anyone quite like you before.
No, I’ve never met anyone quite like you before.

Thoughts from above hit the people down below;
People in this world, we have no place to go.
(x4)

Oh, it’s the last time, oh, it’s the last time,
Oh, it’s the last time, oh, it’s the last time, oh, it’s the last time.
Oh, I’ve never met anyone quite like you before.
Oh, no, I’ve never met anyone quite like you before.

I feel so extraordinary,
Something’s got a hold on me.
I get this feeling I’m in motion;
A sudden sense of liberty.

I don’t care ’cause I’m not there,
And I don’t care if I’m here tomorrow.
Again and again, I’ve taken too much
Of the things that cost you too much.

I used to think that the day would never come,
I’d see delight in the shade of the morning sun.
My morning sun is the drug that brings me near
To the childhood I lost, replaced by fear.
I used to think that the day would never come,
That my life would depend on the morning sun.

When I was a very small boy,
Very small boys talked to me.
Now that we’ve grown up together,
They’re afraid of what they see.

That’s the price that we all pay;
Our valued destiny comes to nothing.
I can’t tell you where we’re going,
I guess there’s just no way of knowing.

I used to think that the day would never come,
I’d see delight in the shade of the morning sun.
My morning sun is the drug that brings me near
To the childhood I lost, displaced by fear.
I used to think that the day would never come,
That my life would depend on the morning sun.

I feel so extraordinary,
Something’s got a hold on me.
I get this feeling I’m in motion;
A sudden sense of liberty.

The chances are, we’ve gone too far;
You took my time, and you took my money.
Now, I fear you’ve left me standing
In a world that’s so demanding.

I used to think that the day would never come,
I’d see delight in the shade of the morning sun.
My morning sun is the drug that brings me near
To the childhood I lost, replaced by fear.

I used to think that the day would never come,
I’d see delight in the shade of the morning sun.
My morning sun is the drug that brings me near
To the childhood I lost, displaced by fear.
I used to think that the day would never come,
That my life would depend on the morning sun.

Morning sun… (x6)

I think that’s got to be one of the weirdest music videos I’ve ever seen. Great song, though.
