Resistance/Self-Control

i could take you out but i just can't
won't you listen to the mindless rant
of a poor young man on the verge of it all
i would take you away but no i won't
im standin' here screaming 'hey do what you don't
and i don't need a new game right now

so give up on hope and cast down your dreams
resistance is as resistance seems
and nothing's gonna happen if you stay or go

sworn off the love and kind caress
alone, at war, and free of stress
the hibernation state
this self control, it sets me free
it opens doors that i couldn't see
i hope this all works out okay
it's not like you're the antichrist
i've broken down but only twice
we wouldn't fall in love, we'd just fall down

so give up on hope and cast down your dreams
resistance is as resistance seems
and nothing's gonna happen if you stay or go

we'll book a flight but never fly
i'll take my leave if you start to cry
you know i can't deal with these things
my time has come so adios
i'll call only once
twice at most
so don't get excited when the telephone rings

no no no no no

fire on the bridge and in the tunnel below

kick me out of eden
kick me out on the concrete streets
so this is what you're calling our paradise
but how great could it be when we're tied down to our seats
everybody runs when the telephone rings
but nobody's making a call
want to see what it's like to be living out there
want to see what it's like when we break down the wall

fire on the bridge and in the tunnel below
i see fire on the bridge and in the tunnel below

like a dormant virus getting ready to spread
building in number and running through your head
running through your streets all soaked up in sin
start running up a tab here so we really begin

fire on the bridge and in the tunnel below
i see fire on the bridge and in the tunnel below
fire on the bridge and in the tunnel below
i see fire on the bridge and in the tunnel below

it was a crime of passion
done in my own fashion and i couldn't escape it
it was an act of war
sleeping on the kitchen floor
my dear you were mistaken
gasoline spilling on the highway lines
goodnight good day it's ahead of the times
sleeping on the bus sleeping in the train
i'll take one more cause i'm waiting in vain

the time has come and the buildings hit the ground
you are looking help but there's no one around
the last of the sunlight has melted away
so cover my eyes and tell me it's ok

alright

fire on the bridge and in the tunnel below

stay a lover

well i did not know that you could laugh
with a tin can for a heart
murder from the start
she said darlin' don't be daft
but i got some things i'm regretting
on the bench and on the drive home
sit down stop begging
find someway to leave me alone

darlin'
find someway to leave me alone

sweetheart stay gold
i've known so many others
but you say stay a lover
and it's been said and it's been told
and now it's getting tougher
but darlin' stay a lover

you burned up my sheets
can you kick it to the streets
you know it well
draining every man you meet
so you say we didn't have a connection
body or mind that's fine
cause i've started to feel that way

darlin'
well i've starting to feel that way

sweetheart stay gold
i've known so many others
but you say stay a lover
and it's been said and it's been told
and now it's getting tougher
but darlin' stay a lover

wine cellar

i had no heart to tell her
she took me to her wine cellar
we spent the day as a night
a night with bottles of reds and whites
well i could tell by her eyes she had gone white
while mine had gone red
mine had turned violent instead

broke all the bottles in her wine cellar
and i can't say i've got the heart to tell her
broke all the bottles in her mind
shattered her thought and left her dreams behind
don't you take me down
don't you take me down
i've seen the wall come tumbling down
this cable is too unstable i know
i know

and now the room has become two
and i can't tell just what to do
underground and chilled
sitting in a cellar where dreams get killed
you can be what you want to be
forgotten, aware, apprehensive or scared
it's an option that comes with the wine
it's getting older yeah it's aging with time

broke all the bottles in her wine cellar
and i can't say i've got the heart to tell her
broke all the bottles in her mind
shattered her thought and left her dreams behind
don't you take me down
don't you take me down
i've seen the wall come tumbling down
this cable is too unstable i know
i know
