With Every New Day

You feel it when you wake up,
you feel it in your sleep
you hate what they have turned you into - all claws and teeth
if this is your reflection, then something must be wrong
whatever face you're putting on, you never quite seem to belong
And all we ever wanted, a friend or someone calling
and leave us with a feeling, it's gonna be OK
oh, how I wished it would change with every new day
The city streets are glowing with reflections of the moon
the elevator's moving
but I'll be coming back real soon, yeah, I've got diamonds in my hands, I'll throw them all around,
I'll paint this faded city red, there's nothing that could keep me down.
And all we ever wanted...

I meant to paint a picture of our life,
I meant to dress you up in words and make you shine,
I never meant to leave you in a stranger's hand
but God, or whatever had other plans.
I get up early and I wash my face,
I see this old man, who has taken my place,
I never thought I'd live to see so many days vanish into a haze
But lets not make this any harder,
she's long gone and won't return
the rain is falling in my heart
you keep appearing, when will I ever learn?
Here they come marching down the street again,
the lights are out, nobody's doing anything
and she's a little girl again, in her head
hiding under the bed
But let's not push this any further,
I'm not scared of anything
but how come I was given this hand?
No ace, no king, nothing...
Well, sure there's a pattern and sure there are words;
everyone listened, but nobody heard,
I open my eyes and I calm myself down
everything is beautiful when she is around...
I meant to paint a picture of our life,
I never said it would be beautiful and bright,
I never said it would be like in the movies
cos not much ever is
I meant to get myself down to the sea,
I ment to fall asleep under your favorite tree,
I meant to close my eyes and never wake again,
until I see you, Line dear friend
until we meet again, my big queen
everything is finally ending...

Lay down, lay down, lay down by my side,
the world has gone mad, but I still want to see it
I look for a word to calm you down
Today was full of sparkling ideas,
but you and me are missing it all my dear,
I look for a joke to kill the frown
And I wish I could say I was OK
then we could call it quits,
I have searched this landscape up and down
and I still can't say I know it
all I know, this is true;
Tonight the walls are closing in on you
So go on with the plan,
the wind is hard but there dream is alive,
I look for a way to make you smile
And somebody's falling hard but silent
he's on the other side the horizon
chasing a star
trapped in a bar
Is the fever still riding you or can we call it a day?
I have searched this landscape up and down and I still can't find a way
all I know, this is true; Tonight the walls are closing in on you...

In the morning, you wake with your eyes closed
and the phone rings but you don't want to pick it up
and the radio's playing all awful melodies
and you think you'll stay in bed forever
all he gave you was this fever,
all he left you was this feeling you're not worth anything
And now summer is sleeping with Malmo,
it's all ice cream and love underneath the sky
and the arabs are all closing early
and the dreadlocks are drinking their sorrows away
all you gave me was this fever
all you left me was this feeling I'm not worth anything
I'm not worth anything
