Paint me the face that they told me about
Above the bed where I lie
Hang it like the moon
Ring it like a Berlin tune.
Reaching out past the backyard
Out to the edge of the sky
The words round here sound too hard
I'm scared to open my eyes.
Paint me the face that I had before the world was born.
My eyes are like beads of glass
Like bottles left on the beach
A stranger to myself,
to the passersby.
Ain't you the face that I had before?
Ain't you the face that I had before this wandering heart?
Your wandering heart...

'Neath the melting sun
You were the Valley's favorite one
In the blacklit night
Underneath electric light.
Did you see the music dancing in their heads?
Did they see it in your eyes?
Did you hear your daddy's voice tell you to fly - but not too high?
Every forever kid had your number in their head
Every neon boy lining up to wind your toy
Every kind of girl danced for you around the world.
Did they rise and fall on every word you said?
Like you were Jesus in the sky?
Did you hear your daddy's voice tell you to fly - but not too high?
He told you not to fly too high
But you fly too high.
Did you see the writing on the hotel wall?
Did you hear it in her lies?
When the boys in New York wouldn't take your calls?
When your friends started to die?
When they finally put the gun up to your head,
Did you see it in their eyes?
Did you hear your daddy's voice tell you to fly but not too high?
He told you not to fly too high.
But you fly too high..

Burning Car

Put me in reverse
Take me back to you
I'm your big mistake
I'm your dream come true.
Lock the engine up.
'til the gas pours through.
Keep the fog lights on
Now we're good as new
There's a line so fine
But it's still a scar
And you've got the keys to a burning car.
Every heart that breaks
greets you when you wake
like a death's head smile
spans a thousand miles.
When the world's on fire
Spin the wheels 'round.
Weather down your tires
Run it to the ground
There's a line so fine
But it's still a scar
Now you've got the keys to a burning car...

Heavy stars go wandering by
Filling up the sky
Shadow giving in to light.
Now and then I wonder - Why are we fixed in time,
while the god's collapse and die?
I can feel it in the way you tear me down
I'm a beam of light slipping out of sight
It's the gravity that I can't get around
Slowly out of time, now I can't hide.
Can you feel the crossing of this event horizon?
Spiral staircase fade to white
A black so deep it shines
Burning through eternal night
Now and then I see the lights
I know they're all a lie
Another star is set to die.
Can you feel the crossing of this event horizon?
Cast your eyes down.
Cast your eyes
down...

Find It In Your Heart

Your wandering heart
You're gonna keep on following until it tears you apart.
The holy road beneath the stars.
You're gonna go so far
Gonna finally find that stage where you can play your part.
Getting bought and sold in every no count bar.
What's gone is gone, don't come around again.
I see you've finally come around to it.
I see you finally come around.
You take a cab downtown.
While all the world it wakes up,
You take off the hair and the makeup.
Here you can be who you've been from the start,
But you've been hiding in your heart...
So you're gonna catch up,
Dead Sea Saturday down at the Pyramid Club.
Yeah, you were royalty once - the Queen of St. Mark's.
Crawling 'round the hole inside your heart.
Watch all your judges line up
You'll get em all back on the wind up
All the ones who laid you down so hard.
If you can find it in your heart.
While all the world it wakes up,
You take off the hair and the makeup.
Here you can be who you've been from the start,
If you can find it in your heart.
Find It In Your Heart.
