Les paroles


1. AS HIGH AS YOU CAN GO

Single file boys
Signposts to the sun
As high as you can go
Lennons and Monroes
Claw their way to the stars
If they knew
And I don't care who you are
Just sign the line and away you fly

Unexpectedly rejected
Safety for the few
Same excuses resurrected
None of them are true
High as you can go
Lennons and Monroes
Claw their way to the stars
If they only knew
No I don't care who you are
Just sign the line and away you fly

Take a chance
Join the dance
Make the sound
Take a chance
Join the dance
Or go to ground.

No I don't care who you are
Sign the line and away you fly


2. PLEASURE AND PAIN

White as a cotton cloud
Silence sea and sky
Innocent as the child
Always asking why

I can take you there
I can show you
I can take you there
I'll be there
Gently catching you as you fall
Hearing you when you call
Smiling as we climb
Smiling or crocodiling?

As certainly as the sun
Bakes a Sahara day
Ancient as the hills
Crumbling into clay

It's pleasure and pain
No loss no gain
Pleasure and pain
Again and again
Pleasure and pain

This madness
This laughter
Outward feelings I can't control
Those coloured lights are leading me
It's in you
It's in me


3. PAPER TIGERS

Too much makes me lazy
Not enough and it makes me crazy
Too much makes me crazy
Not enough and it makes me lazy

Time stops just for a moment
Then again it's only an instant
Time stops just for an instant
Then again it's only a moment

They always keep themselves clean
Know what I mean?

You have to face them sooner or later
These tigers made of paper
Don't pay now
You have to pay later
Confront your tigers made of paper

They always keep themselves clean
I can't shake this feeling
Something's going to happen
