Savage Garden

To the Moon and Back


She's taking her time making up the reasons
To justify all the hurt inside
Guess she knows from the smiles and the look in their eyes
Everyone's got a theory about the bitter one
They're saying, "Mama never loved her much"
And, "Daddy never keeps in touch
That's why she shies away from human affection"
But somewhere in a private place
She packs her bags for outer space
And now she's waiting for the right kind of pilot to come
And she'll say to him
She's sayin

Chorus
I would fly up to the moon and back if you'll be...
If you'll be my baby
I've got a ticket for a world where we belong
So would you be my baby?

She can't remember a time when she felt needed
If love was red then she was color blind
All her friends, well they've been trialed for treason
And crimes that were never defined
She's saying, "Love is like a barren place,
And reaching out for human faith
It's like a journey I just don't have a map for"
So baby's gonna take a dive and
Push the shift to overdrive
Send a signal that she's hanging
All her hopes on the stars
What a pleasant dream
She's saying

Chorus
I would fly up to the moon and back if you'll be...
If you'll be my baby
I've got a ticket for a world where we belong
So would you be my baby?

Hold on, hold on ...

Mama never loved her much
And, Daddy never keeps in touch
That's why she shies away from human affection
But somewhere in a private place
She packs her bags for outer space
And now she's waiting for the right kind of pilot to come
And she'll say to him
She's saying

Chorus(2x)
I would fly up to the moon and back if you'll be...
If you'll be my baby
I've got a ticket for a world where we belong
So would you be my baby?

I would fly up to the moon and back if you'll be...
If you'll be my baby
I've got a ticket for a world where we belong
So would you be my baby?
yeaaaah ...

Carry On Dancing

The moonlight...
Shines down interstellar beams
And the groove tonight
Is something more than you've ever seen
The stars and planets taking shape
A stolen kiss has come too late
In the moonlight
Carry on, keep romancing,
Carry on, carry on dancing
In the moonlight
Carry on, keep romancing,
Carry on, carry on dancing

You're never safe 'till you see the dawn
And if the clock strikes past midnight
The hope is gone
To move under...

In the moonlight
Carry on, keep romancing,
Carry on, carry on dancing
In the moonlight
Carry on, keep romancing,
Carry on, carry on dancing

Move. Closer. Passion. Stronger

There's a magic only two can tell
In the dark night
Ultra violet is a wicked spell
The stars and planets taking shape
A stolen kiss has come to late

In the moonlight
Carry on, keep romancing,
Carry on, carry on dancing
In the moonlight
Carry on, keep romancing,
Carry on, carry on dancing

Moving on... Moving all night

I Don't Know You Anymore

I would like to visit you for a while
Get away and out of this city
Maybe I shouldn't have called but someone had to be the first to break
We can go sit on your back porch
Relax
Talk about anything
It don't matter
I'll be courageous if you can pretend that you've forgiven me

Because I don't know you anymore
I don't recognize this place
The picture frames have changed and so has your name
We don't talk much anymore
We keep running from the pain
But what I wouldn't give to see your face again

Springtime in the city
Always such relief from the winter freeze
The snow was more lonely than cold
If you know what I mean
Everyone's got an agenda, don't stop
Keep that chin up, you'll be all right
Can you believe what a year it's been
Are you still the same?
Has your opinion changed?
'Cause I don't know you anymore
I don't recognize this place
The picture frames have changed and so has your name
We don't talk much anymore
We keep running from these sentences
But what I wouldn't give to see your face again

I know I let you down
Again and again
I know I never really treated you right
I've paid the price
I'm still paying for it every day

So maybe I shouldn't have called
Was it too soon to tell?
Oh what the hell
It doesn't really matter
How do you redefine something that never really had a name?
Has your opinion changed?

Because I don't know you anymore
I don't recognize this place
The picture frames have changed and so has your name
We don't talk much anymore
We keep running from the pain
But what I wouldn't give to see your face again

I see your face
I see your face

You Can Still Be Free

Cool breeze and autumn leaves
Slow motion daylight
A lone pair of watchful eyes
Oversee the living
Feel the presence all around
A tortured soul
A wound unhealing
No regrets or promises
The past is gone
But you can still be free
If time will set you free
Time now to spread your wings
To take to flight
The life endeavour
Aim for the burning sun
You're trapped inside
But you can still be free
If time will set you free
But it's a long long way to go

Keep moving way up high
You see the light
It shines forever
Sail through the crimson skies
The purest light
The light that sets you free
If time will set you free

Sail through the wind and rain tonight
You're free to fly tonight
And you can still be free
If time will set you free
And going higher than the mountain tops
And go high like the wind don't stop
And go high
Free to fly tonight
Free to fly tonight

The Best Thing

Never want to fly
Never want to leave
Never want to say what you mean to me
Never want to run
Frightened to believe
You're the best thing about me

Sometimes I feel like this is only chemistry
Stuck in a maze searching for a way to
Shut down turn around feel the ground beneath me
You're so close where do you end where do I begin?
Always pushing and pulling
Sometimes sanity takes vacation time on me
I'm in a daze stumbling bewildered
North of gravity head up in the stratosphere
You and I roller coaster riding love
You're the center of adrenaline
And I'm beginning to understand

Never want to fly
Never want to leave
Never want to say what you mean to me
Never want to run
Frightened to believe
You're the best thing about me

Walk on broken glass make my way through fire
These are the things I would do for love
Farewell peace of mind kiss goodbye to reason
Up is down the impossible occurs each day
This intoxication thrills me
I only pray it doesn't kill me

Never want to fly
Never want to leave
Never want to say what you mean to me
Never want to run
Frightened to believe
You're the best thing about me

You're the center of adrenaline
And I'm beginning to understand
You could be the best thing about me

Never want to fly
Never want to leave
Never want to say what you mean to me
Never want to run
Frightened to believe
You're the best thing about me

You could be the best thing about me
What if you're the best thing about me?

I Don't Care

I ride this train
in the windswept afternoon
and the sunlight warms the faces
of the faithless who are waiting
I ride this train
but I need a conversation
mozambique or was it veronique?
how about you pick the subject
and I'll listen to you?

people tell me that I feel too much
but I don't care, I don't care
people tell me that I need too much
but I don't care, no I don't care

I ride this train
in a dream-like state of mind
through a field of frozen memories
imagination racing
I ride this train
but I need to make connections
no I wasn't staring
I was only trying
to get some substance
to get some meaning

people tell me that I feel too much
but I don't care, no I don't care
people tell me that I need too much
well I don't care, no I don't care

people tell me that I feel too much
oh no cause I don't care
no I just don't care anymore
I will ride this train

people tell me that I feel too much
but I don't care, no I don't care
people tell me that I need too much
but I don't care, no I just don't care

people tell me that I feel too much
oh no cause I don't care
no I just don't care anymore
as I ride this train

as I ride this train
as I ride this train
keep on riding this train
as I ride this train
as I ride this train
oooh

Hold me

Hey Hey
If we can't find a way out of these problems
Then maybe we don't need this
Standing face to face
Enemies at war we build defenses
And secret hiding places

I might need you to hold me tonight
I might need you to say it's alright
I might need you to make the first stand
Coz tonight I'm finding it hard to be your man

Hey Hey
More than angry words I hate this silence
It's getting so loud
Well I wanna scream
But bitterness has silenced these emotions
It's getting hard to breathe
So tell me isn't happiness
Worth more than a golden diamond ring?
I'm willing to do anything
To calm the storm in my heart
I've never been the praying kind
But lately I've been down upon my knees
Not looking for a miracle
Just a reason to believe

I might need you to hold me tonight
I might need you to say it's alright
I might need you to make the first stand
Because tonight I'm finding it hard to be your man

Do you remember not long ago?
When we used to live for the nighttime
Cherish each moment
Now we don't live we exist
We just run through our lives
So alone
That's why you've got to hold me

Hey Hey
If we can't find a way out of these problems
Then maybe we don't need this
Standing face to face
Enemies at war we build defenses
And secret hiding places

I might need you to hold me tonight
I might need you to say it's alright
I might need you to make the first stand
Because tonight I'm finding it hard to be your man

California

I've got a cottage with the sea on view
I've got a regular summer teint
I've been hooking up the courage to call you on here, ooh
But there's more than I can say
And there are no good words that... anyway
Besights people are cruel and the world still moves without you, ooh

Welcome to my Californian home
You don't have to call me you can leave when you want
There's a picture by my bed, there's a light in your eyes I don't know
Well I don't know why you still feel alone

And we were dying from the gap go
I was dreaming but you never believed
I was trying to fit myself in the spaces between, ooh
And you were kind and sometimes cool
You say all the world is love consatisfie you
And nothing could have hurt me as much as the truth, ooh, darling

Welcome to my Californian home
You don't have to call me you can leave when you want
There's a picture by my bed, there's a light in your eyes I don't know
Tell me cause I want to find out: do you still feel alone?

Love is a lose when you search for a way I do not know
Happiness sometimes it just keeps saying I do not know it
I'm going crazy I've been wondering: do you still feel alone?
(I need to find)
(Some kind of peace of mind)
(I need to find)

I've got a cottage with the sea on view
I've got a regular summer teint
I know that I deserve more but I still want you

Welcome to my Californian home
You don't have to call me you can leave when you want
There's a picture by my bed, there's a light in your eyes I don't know
Tell me cause I want to find out: do you still feel alone?

I Want You

(Verse 1)

Anytime I need to see your face I just close my eyes
And I am taken to a place
Where your crystal minds and magenta feelings
Take up shelter in the base of my spine
Sweet like a chica cherry cola
I don't need to try to explain
I just hold on tight and If it happens again
I may move so slightly to the arms
And the lips and the face
Of The Human Cannonball that
I need to I want to...

Bridge)

Come stand a little bit closer
Breathe in and get a bit higher
You'll never know what hit you when
I get to you

(Chorus)

Ooh I want you, I don't know if I need you but
Ooh I'd die to find out
Ooh I want you, I don't know if I need you but
Ooh I'd die to find out

(Verse 2)

I'm the kind of person who endorses a deep commitment
Getting comfy getting perfect is what I live for
But a look and then a smell of perfume
It's like I'm down on the floor
And I Don't know what I'm in for
Conversation has a time and place in the interaction
Of a lover and a mate but the time of talking
Using symbols, using words can be likened
To a deep sea diver who is swimming with a raincoat

(Bridge)

(Chorus)

Ooh, ahh...
Ooh, ahh...

(Verse 1)

(Chorus)

So can we find out?

(Chorus x2)

Lemon tree

I'm sitting here in a boring room
It's just another rainy sunday afternoon
I'm wasting my time I got nothing to do
I'm hangin'around, I'm waiting for you
but nothing ever happens, and I wonder
I'm driving around in my car
I'm driving too fast and I'm driving too far
I'd like to change my point of view
I feel so lonely, I'm waiting for you
but nothing ever happens, and I wonder

I wonder how, I wonder why
yesterday you told me 'bout the blue blue sky and all that I can see is just a yellow lemon tree
I'm turning my head up and down
I'm turning, turning, turning, turning around
and all that I can see is just another lemon tree

sing da dadadada mdidada dadadada mdidada dadidida

I'm sitting here I missed a part
I'd like to go out takin'a shot
but ther's a heavy cloud inside my head
I feel so tired, put myself into bed
well nothing ever happens, and I wonder

Isolation is not good for me
Isolation, I don't want to sit on a lemon tree

I'm slappin' around in the desert of joy
maybe anyhow I'll get another toy
and everything will happen, and you wonder

I wonder how, I wonder why
yesterday you told me 'bout the blue blue sky and all that I can see is just another lemon tree
I'm turning my head up and down
I'm turning, turning, turning, turning, turning around
and all that I can see is just a yellow lemon tree

and I wonder, I wonder

oh I wonder how, I wonder why
yesterday you told me 'bout the blue blue sky and all that I can see, and all that I can see, and all that I can see, is just a yellow lemon tree

Promises

Well don't you know I need a little indulgence?
Listen to the hunter becoming hunted
Every day there's a million advances
Don't be too forceful you'll ruin your chances
Well don't you know that time is a broken glass
That splinters against the wall?
But the picture is coming back now baby,
And I want to take it all.
Don't go making all these promises you know you cannot keep
There's a time to play a king and time to be a thief
'Cause if you're makin all these promises you know you cannot keep
You know time will be the thief and your fallen king will end up alone
So let you body move a little bit closer
Silent like the sound proceeding a cyclone
Don't you know that powerful thinking
Can be a force you don't want to relinquish?
Well don't you know that,
They say that hanging on will justify the wait?
But patience and elated wisdom don't share a common phrase
Don't go making all these promises you know you cannot keep
There's a time to play a king and time to be a thief
'Cause if you're makin all these promises you know you cannot keep
You know time will be the thief and your fallen king will end up alone
Well, I'm only hanging on for what goes down
I'm floating high and my feet don't touch the ground
I'd take advantage but I can't see through the charade
So don't you, don't go make it harder than hell
'Cause when it comes down to the making
You better be damned sure you can take it
Hey baby
Well don't go making all these promises you know you cannot keep
There's a time to play a king and time to be a thief
'Cause if you're makin all these promises you know you cannot keep
You know time will be the thief and your fallen king will end up alone
Time will be the thief and your fallen king will end up...
A fool, a fool, a lonely sorry fool
Oh baby, 'cause I told you baby

Santa Monica

(Verse 1)

In Santa Monica,in the wintertime,
the lazy streets so undemanding I walk into the crowd
In Santa Monica, you get your coffee from the coolest places on the promenade
Where people dress just so Beauty so unavoidable, everywhere you turn it's there.
I sit and wonder what am I doing here?

(Chorus)

But on the telephone line I am anyone, I am anything I want to be.
I could be a super model or Norman Mailer
And you wouldn't know the difference Or would you?

(Verse 2)

In Santa Monica, all the people got modern names like Jake or Mandy
And modern bodies too
In Santa Monica, on the boulevard, you'll have to dodge those in-line skaters
Or they'll knock you down
I never felt so lonely Never felt so out of place
I never wanted something more than this

(Chorus)

But on the telephone line I am anyone, I am anything I want to be
I could be a super model or Norman Mailer
And you wouldn't know the difference
On the telephone line I am any height, I am any age I want to be
I could be a caped crusader, or space invader
And you wouldn't know the difference Or would you?

The Animal Song

When superstars and cannonballs are running through your head
And television freak show cops and robbers everywhere
Subway makes me nervous, people pushing me too far
I've got to break away
So take my hand now

Cause I want to live like animals
Careless and free like animals
I want to live
I want to run through the jungle
With the wind in my hair and the sand at my feet

I don't have any difficulties keeping to myself
Feelings and emotions better left up on the shelf
Animals and children tell the truth, they never lie
Which one is more human
There's a thought, now you decide

Compassion in the jungle
Compassion in your hands, yeah, yeah
Would you like to make a run for it
Would you like to take my hand, yeah, yeah

Cause I want to live like animals
Careless and free like animals
I want to live
I want to run through the jungle
With the wind in my hair and the sand at my feet

Sometimes this life can get you down
It's so confusing
There's so many rules to follow
And I feel it
Cause I just run away in my mind

Superstars and cannonballs are running through your head
Television freak show cops and robbers everywhere
Animals and children tell the truth, they never lie
Which one is more human
There's a thought, now you decide

Compassion in the jungle
Compassion in your hands, yeah, yeah
Would you like to make a run for it
Would you like to take my hand, yeah, yeah

Cause I want to live like animals
Careless and free like animals
I want to live
I want to run through the jungle
With the wind in my hair and the sand at my feet

Crash And Burn

When you feel all alone
And the world has turned it's back on you
Give me a moment please to tame your wild wild heart
I know you feel like the walls are closing in on you
It's hard to find relieve and people can be so cold
When darkness is upon your door and you feel like you can't take anymore

Let me be the one you call
If you jump I'll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn
You're not alone

When you feel all alone
And a loyal friend is hard to find
You're caught in a one way street
With the monsters in your head
When hopes and dreams are far away and
You feel like you can't face they day

Let me be the one you call
If you jump I'll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn
You're not alone

Because there has always been heartache and pain
And when it's over you'll breathe again
You'll breath again

When you feel all alone
And the world has turned its back on you
Give me a moment please
To tame your wild wild heart

Let me be the one you call
If you jump I'll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn
You're not alone

Insatiable

When moonlight crawls along the street
chasin' away the summer heat
footsteps outside somewhere below
The lonely walls, I'll let it go
we build our church above the street
we practised love between these sheets
the candy swingers in the room
it beat my skin, I'm stained in you

and all I have to do was call you
there's a reason within my heart
and I am really touching you

(chorus)
turn the lights down low
take it off and show
my love for you insatiable
turn me on, every step
wanna taste every drop
my love for you insatiable

the moonlight plays upon your skin
a kiss that lingers takes me in
I fall asleep inside of you
there are no words, there's only true
breath in, breath out there is no sound
we move together up and down
we levitate up by you're soar
I feed on you and touch the floor

but nobody loves you like I do
'cause nobody understands
and I grow stronger in your hands
I...

(chorus 2x)

we never sleep, we're always holding hands
kissing for hours, talking, making it last
I feel like a better man
just being into this room
we never sleep,there's just too much to do
so much to say, I close my eyes, I'm in love with you
Insatiable, the way of loving you

(chorus 2x)

when I look in your eyes

Truly,Madly,Deeply

I'll be your dream
I'll be your wish
I'll be your fantasy.
I'll be your hope
I'll be your love
Be everything that you need.
I love you more with every breath
Truly madly deeply do..
I will be strong I will be faithful
'Cos I'm counting on a new beginning.
A reason for living.
A deeper meaning.
Chorus

I want to stand with you on a mountain.
I want to bathe with you in the sea.
I want to lay like this forever.
Until the sky falls down on me...
Verse 2

And when the stars are shining brightly
In the velvet sky,
I'll make a wish
Send it to heaven
Then make you want to cry..
The tears of joy
For all the pleasure and the certainty.
That we're surrounded
By the comfort and protection of..
The highest power.
In lonely hours.
The tears devour you..
I want to stand with you on a mountain,
I want to bathe with you in the sea.
I want to lay like this forever,
Until the sky falls down on me...
Bridge

Oh can't you see it baby?
You don't have to close your eyes
'Cos it's standing right before you.
All that you need will surely come...

I'll be your dream
I'll be your wish
I'll be your fantasy.
I'll be your hope
I'll be your love
Be everything that you need.
I'll love you more with every breath
Truly madly deeply do...
