1. Love is clockworks and cold steel, fingers too numb to feel...Love is drowning in a deep well, all the secrets and no one to tell.
2. And I tell the man I'm with about the other life I lived, and I say now you're top gun, I have lost and you have won.
3. Слыхали ль вы за рощей глас ночной певца любви, певца своей печали? Когда поля в час утренний молчали, свирели звук, унылый и простой, слыхали ль вы? (Have you not heard, from beyond the grove at night, the voice that sings of love and sings of sorrow? When, at the morning hour, the fields lay silent, the music of the pipe, simple and sad, have you not heard?)
4. I'm the goodness in the bad, I'm the saneness in the mad...I'm the stranger's lonely glance, I'm the hero's only chance...I'm the world you'll never see, I'm the slave you'll never free. I'm the truth you'll never know, I'm the place you'll never know.
5. Fly the ocean in a silver plane, see the jungle when it's wet with rain.

9. Brain fried tonight through misuse, through misuse, through misuse (wots dat comin' oveh the hill?)
10. Yesterday, you asked me something I thought you knew, so I told you with a smile.
11. I want you to love me, he whispers, unable to speak. And he wonders aloud why feelings so strong make the body so weak. Then he awoke, now he's scared to death somebody heard. If it was you, and you know her, please don't say a word.
12. Sleep, you little resume, with your head above the crowd. You have held you breath for all of your life just to make some body proud. Sleep, you little reservoir, let your banks just overflow. No, you can't contain all of that rain, you're gonna have to let it go.
13. Well I hope you died quick, and I hope you died clean, or, Willy McBride, was it slow and obscene?
14. You're so much gentler when you sleep...Is there a chance you might redeem my days gone by?...And oh, his breath is so warm. Mine is short, and my ears are ringing. Everywhere, my skin is singing.

17. Oh I could bury you alive, but you might crawl out with a knife and kill me when I'm sleeping.
18. Could you be my Hero, heart afire? My lighthouse on the shoreline, could you be that to me?...How your passion is brave, even if I drown here inside this wave.

20. Feel your poison running through me? Let me never grow old. (So here it comes...)
21. This fire is out of control, I'm gonna burn this city...If this fire is out of control, then I, I'm out of control, and I burn. Oh, how I burn for you.
