Gave It All Away

Album: Ghosts Of The Past (Deluxe Edition), 2011

So long
Was it the prettiest face that you know
And hold on
Is it real is it real
When you don’t even know what you feel
Oh no

Well I took the pity
The pity from your pocket
This is real
This is real
And nothing’s gonna stop it
Oh no

You gave it all away
Your light fades out like another day
You gave it all away

And how long
And is there anything else I should know

Well I took the pity
The pity from your pocket
This is real
This is real
And nothing gonna stop it
Oh no

You gave it all away
Your light fades out like another day
You gave it all away
Your light fades out like another day
You gave it all away
Oh no

Well I took the pity
The pity from your pocket
This is real
This is real
And nothing’s gonna stop it
Oh no

You gave it all away
Your light fades out like another day
You gave it all away
Your light fades out like another day
You gave it all away
Oh no
Oh no

When We Were Kids

Album: Ghosts Of The Past (Deluxe Edition), 2011

When we were kids
We’d never look down
We’d run off the edge, we’d never do it now

And do you remember

Broken sleep
Like that will make it better
Pull me deep
And do you remember
Make that leap
Or maybe make it never
But I think I better make it soon
And maybe I was just too impatient
When I think about leaving school

When we were kids
We’d never look down
We’d run off the edge, we’d never do it now
When we were kids
We’d never look down
We’d run off the edge, we’d never do it now

Do you remember

Breaking up
Like that will make it better
Fill my cup
And do you remember
Walk the streets
And try to stay together
Is really feeling like something good
And maybe I was just too impatient
When I think about leaving you

When we were kids
We’d never look down
We’d run off the edge, we’d never do it now
When we were kids
We’d never look down
We’d run off the edge, we’d never do it now

Do you remember
Do you remember

We’d run away way way
To the river
But the river ran to the sea
We’d run away way way
To the river but the river ran
The river ran to the sea

When we were kids
We’d never look down
We’d run off the edge, we’d never do it now
When we were kids
We’d never look down
We’d run off the edge

We’d run away way way
To the river
But the river ran to the sea
We’d run away way way
To the river but the river ran
The river ran to the sea

When we were kids
And do you remember

Love Is A Drug

Album: Ghosts Of The Past (Deluxe Edition), 2011

Love is a drug but the drug won’t take me higher
Love is a drug but the drug won’t take me higher
And we’re crying again
Fighting with our backs to the wall
While our blood’s on fire
Love is a drug but you still can’t fool desire
But I’m trying

We lost total control
We lost total control

Love is a drug but the drug won’t take me higher
Take what you want but you still can’t fool desire
We lost total control
Total control
Love is a drug but the drug won’t take me higher

Walking with our eyes to the sky on a tight rope wire
Fight like a flame in the night till our hearts get tired
But we’re trying
Just one taste will replace anything you want
It shoots up the droppers arm till you hit the floor
Now I’m dying

We lost total control
We lost total control

Love is a drug but the drug won’t take me higher
Take what you want but you still can’t fool desire
We lost total control
We lost total control
Love is a drug but the drug won’t take me higher

Fight like a flame in the night till your heart’s on fire

We lost total control
We lost total control

Love is a drug but the drug won’t take me higher
Take what you want but you still can’t fool desire
We lost total control
We lost total control
Total control
We lost total control
Love is a drug but the drug won’t take me higher
I said that love is a drug but the drug won’t take me higher
Yes, love is a drug but the drug won’t take me higher

Echo

Album: Ghosts Of The Past (Deluxe Edition), 2011

Well I shut my eyes and the world is dead
Then they open up
And I’m born again
Like an empty space in an empty bed

Oh there’s a sound that keeps repeating
Going faster as I leave it goes…

I can hear an echo when I’m with you
And I can’t seem to let go
Baby I hear an echo when I’m with you

Well I see your face in the shadow moon
Where the echo’s dance with the ghosts of you
Like an empty space in an empty room

Oh there’s a sound that keeps on beating
Going faster as I leave it goes….

I can hear an echo when I’m with you
And I can’t seem to let go
And baby I hear an echo
(I hear it)
I can hear an echo when I’m with you
And I can’t seem to let go
But baby I hear an echo when I’m with you

A hundred thousand times it keeps repeating
Can you hear it

I can hear an echo
And I can’t seem to let go
Baby I hear an echo

I can hear an echo when I’m with you
And I can’t seem to let go
Baby I hear an echo when I’m with you

When I’m with you

Maybe I can’t let go of that feeling

Speeding Car

Album: Ghosts Of The Past (Deluxe Edition), 2011

I’m a speeding car
And I can’t slow down
But you’re standing in the way
And I just can’t find the breaks
I’m a speeding car
And I can’t slow down
Did you stop when you hit the ground
Did you break the speed of sound

But hey
You’re gonna have to wait
Till they say its over
Till it’s all too late
And they
Will never hesitate
Just know that I
I never went too far
And I’m a speeding car

Looking out of the window
And you’re caught in the headlights
You taste just like shattered glass
Coming down from the overpass
Well I’m speeding car
Have I lost control oh no
Am I just what you’re looking for
Coming in through the open door

Well hey
You’re gonna have to wait
Till they say its over
Till it’s all too late
And they
Will never hesitate
Just know that I
I never went too far
And I’m a speeding car

But hey
You’re gonna have to wait
Till they say its over
Till it’s all too late
And they
Will never hesitate
Just know that I
I never went too far
And I’m a speeding car

Ghosts Of The Past

Album: Ghosts Of The Past (Deluxe Edition), 2011

Johnny took a ticket to London
Jenny took a ticket to Spain
Jenny fell in love with a movie star
And ran away to live in LA
I stayed home to count my luck and
Ended up living like a garbage truck I
Can’t throw away these useless things
That have no place but I try
And I try
To disregard that lonely life
But they hang on to your heart like a ghost
Like a ghost

I keep running
I keep running
But they’re chasing me down like a memory
I keep running
I keep running
But you never get away from your history
I keep running
Hear the ghosts of the past sing

Can I get peace in the distance
Can I get further away
I saw you in a suit last Saturday night
And man I gotta say you have aged
So tell me what I look like in your eyes
Am I the same enemy that you despise
Well five years should’ve been long enough
To forget the past but I try
And I tried
To disregard that lonely life
But they hang onto your heart
Like a ghost
Like a ghost

I keep running
I keep running
But they’re chasing me down like a memory
I keep running
I keep running
But you never get away from your history
I keep running
Hear the ghosts of the past sing

See me now while your running
I’m walking all over your grave
Watch me now motherfucker
I’m walking all over your grave

So keep running
Keep running
Cuz I’m chasing you down like a memory
Keep running
Keep running
But you never get away from your history

So keep running
You keep running
Cuz they’re chasing you down like a memory
You keep running
I keep running
But you never get away from your history
So keep running
I hear the ghosts of the past sing

Itch

Album: Ghosts Of The Past (Deluxe Edition), 2011

You’ve got a terrible itch
I find it hard to scratch
And I could be a ragged claw
But still it wouldn’t hold you back
And you’ve got a fascination
With never hanging ‘round
And I could be a heavy weight
But still I couldn’t hold you down

Now you’re never alone
(watching you now, watching you now)
You’re never alone
(watching you now, watching you now)

But you’ve been hanging around downtown
While you’ve been
Playing around baby
And wherever you go you know
I’ll be watching you now
Watching you now

You’ve got a terrible itch
You scratched till you bled
And even if you’re innocent baby
Your hands are still painted red
And now you’re never alone
(watching you now, watching you now)
And now you’re never alone
(watching you now, watching you now)

But you’ve been hanging around downtown darlin’
While you’ve been
Playing around baby
And wherever you go you know
I’ll be watching you now
Watching you now

But you’ve been hanging around downtown
While you’ve been
Playing around baby
And wherever you go you know
I’ll be watching you now
Watching you now

Alone
(watching you now, watching you now)
You’re never alone
(watching you now, watching you now)
But you’ve been hanging around downtown
While you’ve been
Playing around baby
And wherever you go you know
I’ll be watching you now
Watching you now

Hanging around downtown
While you’re playing around baby
And wherever you go you know
I’ll be watching you now
Watching you now

Just Don't Feel

Album: Ghosts Of The Past (Deluxe Edition), 2011

I sat and talked to girls at twenty-four
I promised them the world and sometimes more
I set upon a path of destruction
That left me with a hunger for seduction

And it just don’t feel like it used to
And it sure don’t feel like it did
It just don’t feel like it used to
Anymore

I sat and talked to men at twenty-eight
I told them that the payment’s coming late
I spent a lot of years just running
Wondering how I’m gonna find the money

Oh well it just don’t feel like it used to
And it sure don’t feel like did
And it just don’t feel like it used to
Anymore
No no no I’m never sure
But I’m still
Looking for more

And history’s a needle full of poison
You can put a man to sleep
With all the secrets that they try so hard to keep
And dare not ever speak
No no no

Well it just don’t feel like it used to
And it sure don’t feel like it did
And if nothing is below me or above me
Well I don’t mind
No no no and I won’t lie
I’m still looking for more
And it just don’t feel like it used to
And it just don’t feel like it used to
I’m still looking for more
And I’m never sure

Drowning In The Fear

Album: Ghosts Of The Past (Deluxe Edition), 2011

Just last night I felt a fright
Like a thousand arms were holding on too tight
I tried to reach for you
My hands were closed but you fell right through

And I just can’t stop you slipping away from me
I just can’t stop you slipping away from me

And I’m calling can you hear
And I’m drowning in the fear
It’s pulling me under

Drowning in the fear
Drowning in the fear

Just last night I felt so scared
Like a thousand armies marching for the dead
I tried to find my way
Back to the place where I could make you stay

And I just can’t stop you slipping away from me
I just can’t stop you slipping away from me

And I’m calling can you hear
And I’m drowning in the fear
It’s pulling me under

Drowning in the fear
Drowning in the fear
And I just can’t stop you slipping away from me
I just can’t stop you slipping away
Drowning in the fear

And I just can’t stop you slipping away from me
I just can’t stop you slipping away from me
I just can’t stop you slipping away from me
I just can’t stop you slipping away from me

And I’m going under here
And I’m calling can you hear
Don’t look now cause it’s pulling me under

Drowning in the fear
Drowning in the fear
And I just can’t stop you slipping away from me
I just can’t stop you slipping away

Drowning in the fear

Words Of Avoidance

Album: Ghosts Of The Past (Deluxe Edition), 2011

Needle in the back says I love you baby
One was a lion
And the other was a flock of birds
Can’t tell my head from heart much lately
One gets light
And the other falls down like her

And it always seems like the longest dream
When you’re all alone
Is he coming home

Round and round and round they fly
The needle dips into the dye and I’m yours
This is just the reason why
The lion dies and no one tries to call

But here comes the rain again
Falling down like words of avoidance
I said you’re old enough to know this
So why do you let it get to you

Try to call but no one nobody noticed
I said you’re old enough to know this
So why do you let it get to you

Your father left here when you were still ten
With nothing but your brown eyes looking for a painted wing
He said “honey take the kids to your mother’s I
Think I’m gonna lose control and I don’t know why”

And it always seems like the longest dream when you’re all alone
Is he coming home

And here comes the rain again
Falling down like words of avoidance
I said you’re old enough to know this
So why do you let it get to you

Try to call but no one nobody noticed
I said you’re old enough to know this
And here comes the rain again

He’s just running late again
You try to call but no one nobody noticed
I said your old enough to know this
So why do you let it get to you

Come falling down like words of avoidance
I said you’re old enough to know this
So why do you let it get to you

You’re old enough to know this
You’re old enough to know this
So why do you let it get to you
You’re old enough to know this

You’re old enough to know this

You know who you are

Sky's On Fire

Album: Ghosts Of The Past (Deluxe Edition), 2011

A rooster with a razor
Cuts a hole across the sky
As light tumbles down from that all seeing eye
And I prop myself back up with the friends that I keep
When all I want from you is to try to get some sleep
And the traffic’s like a symphony at three am
Building its crescendo as the working day begins
But I just don’t think I can wait
For the light of a new day to break
I try to close my eyes while the anxious feeling dies
Can you save me
From desire
Oh the sky’s on fire

Oh the sky’s on fire

Oh the sky’s on fire

Oh the sky’s on fire

Album: Ghosts Of The Past (Deluxe Edition), 2011

Love is a drug but the drug won’t take me higher
Love is a drug but the drug won’t take me higher
And we’re crying again
Fighting with our backs to the wall
While our blood’s on fire
Love is a drug but you still can’t fool desire
But I’m trying

We lost total control

Love is a drug but the drug won’t take me higher
Take what you want but you still can’t fool desire
We lost total control

Love is a drug but the drug won’t take me higher

Walking with our eyes to the sky on a tight rope wire
Fight like a flame in the night till our hearts get tired
But we’re trying
Just one taste will replace anything you want
It shoots up the droppers arm till you hit the floor
Now I’m dying

We lost total control
We lost total control

Love is a drug but the drug won’t take me higher
Take what you want but you still can’t fool desire

Yes, love is a drug but the drug won’t take me higher

Thunderclap

Album: Thunderclap, 2009

Released on the Twilight New Moon Soundtrack Aus/NZ version

Through the thunderclap
I hear the sound
Like a cold wind calls my name
It's only the rain

Like a light, that does not flicker
I wanted the cold to make us better
I carried words upon my shoulders
And I will never let you down
I will never let you down...

So hold
(Hold Hold Hold)
Hold a light back to my soul
(Hold Hold Hold)
I'm just a lonely boy
With thoughts of growing old

And call
(Hold Hold Hold)
Call the sunshine to my soul
(Hold Hold Hold)
I'm just an empty boat
Who's sails blowing cold
So bring your love light to my door.

In another life
I lived before
I broke so many things
With these two clumsy hands
But now I'm steady as a rock
And hold your hand in mine.

(Hold Hold Hold)

Hold a light back to my soul
(Hold Hold Hold)
I'm just a lonely boy
With thoughts of growing old

And Call
(Hold Hold Hold)
Call the sunshine to my soul
(Hold Hold Hold)
I'm just an empty boy
Who's sails blowing cold
So bring your love light to my door

I will never let you down

(Hold Hold Hold)

Call
(Hold Hold Hold)
Call the sunshine to my soul
(Hold Hold Hold)
I'm just an empty boy
An empty boy....

Call
(Hold Hold Hold)
Call the life back to my soul

I'm just a lonely boy
With thoughts of growing old
So bring your love light to my door
Let me stumble to your shore

Bring your love light to my door...
