I wish that I could touch the sky
Elevate me
I hope that I don't burn my eyes
As I drift free
Don't think that I can help myself
Guess it's true
Polythene, polythene girl
Wrap me up in a cellophane world
Polythene, polythene girl
I'm breaking the seal, never thought I would
I wish that I could heal myself
Addicted to you
Wrap me up in cotton wool
Just to feel new
Don't think that I can help myself
But it's true
Polythene, polythene girl
Wrap me up in a cellophane world
Polythene, polythene girl
Breaking the seal, never thought I would
Polythene (polythene girl)
Suffocate! Elevate!
Suffocate! Elevate!
But it's true
Polythene, polythene girl
Wrap me up in a cellophane world
Polythene, polythene girl
I'm breaking the seal, never thought I would
Polythene, polythene girl
Wrap me up in a cellophane world
Polythene, polythene girl
I'm breaking the seal, never though I would
Polythene
Got this dagger in my back
The blade inside me burning
Change these colours in my head
Turn to face the real thing
So what about me (I can't take it)
What I wanna be (I won't make it)
What about me (I can't take it)
Hear me when I speak (I won't make it)
But sometimes I feel it,
Do you know how it is
You wake up in the morning and everything fits
I'm still hoping tomorrow feels like this
My perfect day
Hey, hey
Twist inside me feel it break
The rubber band keeps turning
See the tracks worn in my face
Hallucinate I'm burning
So what about me (I can't take it)
What I wanna be (I won't make it)
What about me (I can't take it)
Hear me when I speak (I won't make it)
But sometimes I feel it,
Do you know how it is
Wake up in the morning and everything fits
I'm still hoping tomorrow feels like this
My perfect day, my perfect day
My perfect day
I can't believe this anymore
I just don't see this anymore
I'm stepping out into the rain, again
See my satellite in space
Sending back the weather
Try to find myself some space
Move on up the ladder
(I can't take it)
It's what I wanna be (I won't make it)
What about me? (I can't take it)
Hear me when I speak (I won't make it)
But sometimes I feel it,
Do you know how it is
Wake up in the morning and everything fits
I'm still hoping tomorrow feels like this
My perfect day, my perfect day
But sometimes I feel it, you know how it is
Wake up in the morning, everything fits
I'm still hoping tomorrow feels like this
My perfect day, my perfect day
My perfect day
(How come, how come..)
It's funny how I watch the day go by
I'm sitting watching TV talk shows high
There's banging on the walls, my head aches
I'm drinking out the world that I hate
I had a big car, new clothes, everything
I've had a watch engraved in Switzerland
Today I saw her buying a magazine
It's time to get myself some therapy
How can I stop this?
How can I stop this?
How can I stop this disease?
She's got a new dress on
(I'm in cement)
Sits by her radio
(I'm in cement)
She's go those x-ray eyes
(I'm in cement)
Don't know which way to go
Tick-tock goes the kitchen clock
Tick-tock goes the kitchen clock
It's funny, but I dream for yesterday
I'm blistered by the burns that life has made
I'm staring out behind the window shade
I see her face across the street again
I'm in quick sand sinking in again
I've got concrete shoes and I can't swim
How can I stop this?
How can I stop this?
How can I stop this disease?
She's got a new dress on
(I'm in cement)
Sits by her radio
(I'm in cement)
She's go those x-ray eyes
(I'm in cement)
Don't know which way to go
(I'm in cement)
She's got a new dress on
(I'm in cement)
She's got a new dress on
I don't know what to do, but I know that I must pull through
I can't keep watching you
How can I stop this?
How can I stop this?
How can I stop this disease?
She's got a new dress on
(I'm in cement)
Sits by her radio
(I'm in cement)
She's go those x-ray eyes
(I'm in cement)
Don't know which way to go
(I'm in cement)
She's got a new dress on
(I'm in cement)
She's got a new dress on
(I'm in cement)
She's got a new dress on
(I'm in cement)
She's got a new dress on...yeah.
Guess I'm stuck in a dream
Surrounded by coloured leaves on the ground
As I stare at the tree
I see one fall down on my hand
As I start to explore, I can't ignore a man
He turned his head around
His face was all worn by the sun
I'm going out for a while
So I can get high with my friends, I will
I'm going out for a while
Don't wait up 'cos I won't be home, today
Drifting down a road
Losing myself in a dream
Feel my hands getting cold
Sat in a boat on a lake
I'm going out for a while
So I can get high with my friends, I will
I'm going out for a while
Don't wait up 'cos I won't be home, today, today.
Climbing up, trying my best, as I sink
(Today,today...)
Lying back on the floor
Reaching up high into space
See myself in a glass
I'm counting the lines on my face, again
Counting the lines on my face
I'm going out for a while
So I can get high with my friends, I will
I'm going out for a while
Don't wait up 'cos I won't be home
Today, today, today, today (I'm going out for a while)
Today, today, today, today (So I can get high with my friends)
Today, today, today, today (I'm going out for a while)
Don't wait up 'cos I won't be home
Today, today, today, today, today.
I put my best foot first and it got burnt.
Communication always hurts
I got myself so deep inside a hole
I taste the air go thin as I get old...
(I don't think so!)..old..
As I get old...
(I don't think so!)old..
She's my hands, she's my hands
Picks me up when I crash down
Build me wings so I can glide
She's my novocaine ride
Novocaine!
Pick up the pieces of my world
Glue them together, I wish I could
I can't believe it as the picture fades
It's like a TV, but the sound remains...
(I don't think so!) No
(I don't think so!)
She's my hands, she's my hands
Picks me up when I crash down
Build me wings so I can glide
She's my novocaine ride
Feel it as I shake
Shatter, illusions fade
Taste my bitter tears
Cut my heart with shears
I don't think so!
I don't think so!
As I get...I don't think so!
She's my hands, she's my hands
Picks me up when I crash down
Build me wings so I can glide
She's my novocaine ride
She's my hands, she's my hands
Picks me up when I crash down
Novocaine
Pull back my skin
Look deep within
Transparent grins
The more you kill me
Just see how it is
Just see how it really is
There's radiation in my head (You hear me breathe a little more)
(And see me walk into the storm)
Can't you see I'm going mad (The more that you give yourself away)
(The more it burns and breaks away)
See the colour of my skin (I see you looking a little more)
Turning blue as I breathe in (And turn and walk into the storm)
(The more you give)
There's radiation in my head, head
Suffer for life
My soul divides
I'm reaching high
But no one sees me
Just see how it is
Just see how it really is
There's radiation in my head (You hear me breathe a little more)
(And see me walk into the storm)
Can't you see I'm going mad (The more that you give yourself away)
(The more it burns and breaks away)
See the colour of my skin (I see you looking a little more)
Turning blue as I breathe in (And see me walk into the storm)
(The more you give)
There's radiation in my head
Get it out, get it out, get it out
Trapped in my shell
My fingers melt
All by myself
All by myself
Just see how it is
Just see how it really is
There's radiation in my head (You hear me breathe a little more)
(And see me walk into the storm)
Can't you see I'm going mad (The more that you give yourself away)
(The more it burns and breaks away)
See the colour of my skin (I see you breathe a little more)
Turning blue as I breathe in (And turn and walk into the storm)
There's radiation in my head (The more that you give yourself away)
(The more it burns and breaks away)
Radiation (And then you breathe a little more)
(And see me walk into the storm)
Radiation (The more you give yourself away)
(The more it burns and breaks away)
See the colour of my skin (I see you looking a little more)
Turning blue as I breathe in (And see me walk into the storm)
(The more you give)
There's radiation in my head
Show it to me one way
I've gotta see, it all
Scientific radar
Reaching through the storm
There's gotta be hope,
As people move on, no
There's gotta be hope
We've gotta keep on believing
It's time to give it everything,
A world unite let us in,
Hear me, hear me cry,
Suffocate, let them die,
A better life, say goodbye,
But hear me, hear me cry.
I see everything silver and gold
Way up, I'm reaching out
Clouds white as snow
There's gotta be hope,
As people on,
(Better)
(There's gotta be...)
It's time to give it everything,
A world unite let us in,
Hear me, hear me cry,
Suffocate, let them die,
A better world, say goodbye,
But hear me, hear me cry.
Hear me cry for you,
Why don't you hear me
Why don't they hear me
Suffocate, let them die,
A better life, say goodbye,
But hear me, hear me cry.
Give, give enough,
I care.
Sitting back I only wish
Today will turn out fine
And wash away the stain
The poison in my eyes
What do you recommend?
I feel my life descending
I'm falling out of reach
Catch me as I bleed (again)
I'm not insane
Can't reach the pain
If I could be all by myself,
I could be me
If you could see, live with my pain
The thoughts that I keep
I hate the way they are,
Their patronising thoughts
Tried to get inside my head,
Ask the question I have read
But one thing makes it hard,
Feel so fragile as I cry
So confused yet so alive,
So abused the system lied
You lied
If I could be all by myself,
I could be me
If you could see, live with my pain
The thoughts that I keep
(alone, alone, alone, alone)
Hands appeared around my neck
Felt so hard to breathe, I stared
As my focus turned to haze,
I could see them
If I could be all by myself, I could be free
If they could see, live with my pain
The thoughts that I keep
Yeah (I know)
Yeah (I know)
(I know, I know)
Yeah (I know)
Yeah (I know)
(I know, I know)
Descend
Descend
Staring at the ideal world
The bubble begins to break
Gazing at the ceiling cracks
The more the picture fades
It's just that I can't see
When I'm down like this
I just feel the weight
As I try to resist
Doesn't matter when I can dream away
Life in a stereo world
Something happens I drift away, away
Floating out of sync again
Reaching for a cloud
Levitated high I'm free
Turning myself around
Just as I feel fine
It begins to break
Now the pain is here
What a big mistake
Doesn't matter when I can dream away
Life in a stereo world
Something happens I drift away, away
Away
It just explodes as I drift in
A thousand hands caress my skin
I feel so free as it begins
Doesn't matter when I can dream away
Life in a stereo world
Something happens I drift away, away
It really feels too good
Feels so good (Away, away)
Life in a stereo world (I'm in a, I'm in a, I'm in a)
(Feels too good)
Life in a stereo world
(Stereo world, stereo world)
Feels too good
Life in a stereo world
Stereo world, stereo world
Feels so good
I'm in a stereo world
A Stereo world, A stereo world...
Looking through my window shade
Stare at streets that bear no name
Now it all looks strange to me
Yesterday seems like a dream
But I often try too hard
To break the routine of my day
Turn around, see what I see
Can't help wishing it would
Change...
Change again, change again (change...)
Unchain myself - I will
See the faces in the crowd
Busy streets they move around
Underground seems such a drag
Waiting still and then we
Change...
Change again, change again (change)
Unchain myself - I will
The more I see, the more it hurts
The more we change, it all seems worse
The more I see, the more it hurts
The more we change it all seems...
See tomorrow
See... (see...)
See tomorrow
As it drags me there I feel
A sense of urgency unveil
What's in store for us today?
Read the paper, drift away...
Drift away, (drift away)
Oh how I hate to feel this way (Change, change again)
The more I wait for it to change (Change again, change, unchain myself, I will)
The more I see the more it hurts (Change, change again)
The more we change it just seems worse (Change, change again)
The more I see the more it hurts (Unchain myself)
The more we change it all seems... (I will)
Tangerine, turning green
Cellophane, window pane
Socialise, paralyzed
Plastic faces suck me dry
Tangerine, tangerine
Tangerine, tangerine
I know, it's sad
Life's just a piece of fruit
Touch down, new ground
Stop living on the moon
I know, it's sad
Life's just a piece of fruit
Touch down, new ground
Stop living on the moon
Twenty eight, suffocate
Take a ride, see me fly
Detonate, feel it break
See myself disintegrate
Tangerine, tangerine
Tangerine, tangerine
I know, it's sad
Life's just a piece of fruit
Touch down, new ground
Stop living on the moon
I know, it's sad
Life's just a piece of fruit
Touch down, new ground
Stop living on the moon
See it as I climb
The rain burns in my eyes
So catch me as I fall
Away
Tangerine, tangerine
Tangerine, tangerine
I know, it's sad
Life's just a piece of fruit
Touch down, new ground
Stop living on the moon
I know, it's sad
Life's just a piece of fruit
Touch down, new ground
Stop living on the moon
I know, it's sad
Life's just a piece of fruit
Touch down, new ground
Stop living on the moon
I know, it's sad
Life's just a piece of fruit
Touch down, new ground
Stop living on the moon
I know, it's sad
Shoot holes in me, then you watch as I bleed
Sticks, sticks and stones
Break my bones, as I speak
Leave me to burn, as I melt in my pain
Watch as I drown,
In the tears we have made
'Cos we've got to forgive
We've got to forget
Things are changing at last, I hope for the best
But I don't understand, I'm just a man
I'm still trying to see
Love, love is hate
Can't separate how it is
Deep in a grave, Can't pretend
When it's real
'Cos we've got to forgive
We've got to forget
Things are changing at last, I hope for the best
But I don't understand, I'm just a man
I'm still trying to see
See a way
Move away
See a way
Will I ever be saved for this?
Will I ever be clean?
Shoot holes in me, then you watch as I bleed
Sticks, sticks and stones
Break my bones, as I speak
Cause we've got to forgive
We've got to forget
Things are changing at last, I hope for the best
But I don't understand, I'm just a man
I'm still trying to see
'Cos we've got to forgive
We've got to forget
Things we're changing at last, I wish for the best
But I don't understand, I'm just a man
I'm still trying to see
'Cos we've got to forgive
We've got to forget
