And people who are weaker than you or I They take what they want from life Oh, but don't mention love No, no, don't mention love A rush and a push and the land That we stand on is ours Your youth may be gone But you're still a young man So phone me, phone me So phone me, phone me, phone me Oh, I think I'm in love, oh, I think I'm in love Oh, I think I'm in love, think I'm in love I think I'm in love, oh

Go ahead and close the door I'll stand outside in the rain A little bird just told me so It's time to start over again So I'll run out and take this boat Far away from these shores And I'll reach behind an enemy line And find my curable cure Cause it's a cruel and beautiful world And I got my girl And if it seems like we're falling behind Or just slipping on top from the mouths of our mind I buried a treasure Far off near the desert I'm trying to find my way there It's been too long since I've been myself And my eyes can't see anymore And there's a song inside of this hard of mind And I'd like to sing it to you Cause there's an earthquake shaking inside my country Now what am I gonna do? Cause it's a cruel and beautiful world And I got my girl And if it seems like we're falling behind Or just slipping on top from the mouth of our mind Cause it's a cruel and beautiful world (Cruel and beautiful world) And I got my girl (he's got his girl) And if it seems like we're falling behind (Seems like we're falling behind) Or just slipping on top from the mouth of our mind

You're moving fast, moving slow To make the cat's eyes glow It seems your legs own this place No doubt you've got what it takes I got a fever 100 degrees I got a fever Won't you help me, please? I got a fever, hot and cold When I think of you Hungry eyes stare at you Watching the things you do Come on baby, dance for me Like a shot, prescription free You give it all for the screaming crowd On the pole around and 'round Yeah, yeah I got a fever 100 degrees A crazy fever Won't you help me, please?

Just as angels embrace heavenly cruelty Young boy, step forth and become legendary I feel a wind from the skies Is pounding inside of the door of my heart Though we stand far apart I can see in your eyes, the smile you wear is not a lie Although you feel in your soul You're hoping for something to grasp and to hold The future you seek, be it bright or too bleak You're far too kind-hearted to see Soon you will find that your wings are behind you And that they were there all along And I believe that one day they will guide you And carry you swiftly and strong Now, the thesis of a cruel angel, flying high One day soon, soaring through a window in the sky Burning brightly, unsightly pathos in the night Trust your memories or sorrow will befall you Seize the sky, find the universe's boundary Young boy, step forth and become legendary Cradled, and burrowing deep The warmth of my love keeps you safely to dream When the morning is nigh, and the sun starts to rise An angel will visit in your sleep Silver light from the moon, it shines Distinguishing the graceful slope of your neck And if I were divine, and if I could stop time I would so you'd stay by my side But I suspect that there must be a reason That we have been fated to meet And if it's true then I'll be here beside you A "bible" to always guide you Now the thesis of a cruel angel, flying high Heralding sorrow pouring from the morning sky Don't despair, I'm aware that life just isn't fair Let your dreams shape the world that you will lay bare You shine brighter and lighter than a sunny beam Young boy, step forth and become legendary Weavers of love are the dreamers who spin up The tapestry of history I'm not a goddess, no apotheosis But even so, I'll muddle through Now, the thesis of a cruel angel, flying high One day soon, soaring through a window in the sky Burning brightly, unsightly pathos in the night Trust your memories or sorrow will befall you Seize the sky, find the universe's boundary Young boy, step forth and become legendary
