The Tea Party - Tangents: The Tea Party Collection

These are the lyrics for the previously unreleased tracks that went on this album

Walking Wounded

Is it safe to look within
And to erase all that's been
And all that's been between
Is it gone, tell me what went wrong
'cause baby i'm not that strong

And I'm walking wounded
All Alone

Are you comfortable and numb
Do they all succumb to all those lies
Does it satisfy the greed
Is it all you need
Is it all you want
'cause baby i'm not that strong

And I'm walking wounded
All Alone

If your memories do stray
Then they'll betray all that's past
And all that's been between
Is it gone tell me what went wrong
'cause baby I'm not that strong

How does it feel?

Waiting On A Sign

I see you walking
you're a miracle on earth
and I've been tempted
but now my will won't stray

so please say you stay
you know that I'm a good man
it's gonna take a little time
if you waiting on a sign

I know I've hurt you
I won't hurt you anymore
your tears have spoken
I wanna wash your tears away
so please say you'll stay
I swear that I'm a good man
it's gonna take a little time
if you're waiting on a sign
And I remember
like a martyr in the moonlight
this resistance now be shall overcome

so please say you stay
I swear that I'm good man
it's gonna take a little time
if you waiting on a sign

And if it pleases you my love
I'll get on my knees and
if you leave with me my love
take this pain away



Lifeline

See this lifeline in chains
Safe resistance restrains
Listless lover of stars
Makes me wonder how far, you've come

All you've learnt
You've forgotten
You desperate soul
You're lost again

Can't help feeling betrayed
Nothing's come from the grave
Helpless angel of fate
How much longer to wait?

All you've learnt
You've forgotten
You desperate soul
You're lost again

Don't you see, all this time?
Takes away, takes the place up, up above?
Can't you see light here, and it's shining?
Look around, I'll be waiting love

Crushed by lies in the dark
Helped them tear you apart
Listless lover of stars
It makes me wonder how far, you've come

All you've learnt
You've forgotten
You desperate soul
You're lost again

Don't you see all this time
Takes away, takes the place, up, up above?
Can't you see light here, and it's shining?
Look around I'll be waiting love

Don't you see all this time
Takes away, takes the place, up, up above?
Can't you see light here, and it's shining?
Look around I'll be waiting love



Paint It Black

I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes

I see a line of cars and they're all painted black
With flowers and my love, both never to come back
I see people turn their heads and quickly look away
Like a newborn baby it just happens ev'ryday

I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see my red door and it has been painted black
Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts
It's not easy facing up when your whole world is black

No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue
I could not forsee this thing happening to you
If I look hard enough into the setting sun
My love will laugh with me before the morning comes

I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes

I wanna see it painted black, painted black
Black as night, black as coal
I wanna see the sun, blotted out from the sky
I wanna see it painted, painted, painted, painted black
