Yeah, we're on I would like to leave this city This old town don't smell too pretty and I can feel the warning signs Running around my mind And when I leave this island I'll book myself into a soul asylum 'Cause I can feel the warning signs Running around my mind So here I go I'm still scratching around in the same old hole My body feels young but my mind is very old So what do you say? You can't give me the dreams that are mine anyway You're half the world away Half the world away Half the world away I've been lost, I've been found but I don't feel down And when I leave this planet You know I'd stay but I just can't stand it and I can feel the warning signs Running around my mind And if I could leave this spirit I'd find me a hole and I'll live in it and I can feel the warning signs Running around my mind Here I go I'm still scratching around in the same old hole My body feels young but my mind is very old So what do you say? You can't give me the dreams that are mine anyway Half the world away Half the world away Half the world away I've been lost, I've been found but I don't feel down No, I don't feel down No, I don't feel down I don't feel down I don't feel down I don't feel down I don't feel down

Wash my pain away Half a woman, half a shadow Daylight is breaking again I hide in the dark, I'm watching the rain You're out of touch and you're out of reach What can I say, I never wanted it this way Love sleeps all alone The cold telephone, I know the heart Yes, I know the kind, the kisses of fire turning to grey I never wanted it this way I always wanted you to stay Cause I'm half a woman, half a shadow Wash my pain away Cause I'm half a woman, half a shadow Oh love always change with the trees, the spring and the leaves The waves on the sea Wilder than light the wind in your eyes led me astray I never wanted it this way I always wanted you to stay Wash my pain away Cause I'm half a woman, half a shadow Wash my pain away Cause I'm half a woman, half a shadow Wash my pain away Oh, I need you Yes, I need you Oh, give me a reason to believe Oh, wash my pain, washing away Oh, half a woman (half a woman) Half a shadow Wash my pain away Cause I'm half a woman (half a shadow) Half a shadow Oh, wash my pain away, oh - oh Cause I/m half a woman (half a woman) Half a shadow Oh, wash my pain away Cause I'm half a woman (half a shadow) Half a shadow From album "Look Sharp!"

I could be foreign forever To your otherland I could be foreign forevermore To your promiseland One life was great but another No, I don't want to live on the edge I won't follow you, I found my own I will stay I could be foreign forever To your hasteland I could be foreign forevermore To your neverland One little brick then another And I will build that wall anyway You can find me there, rested and calm Without mask This is where I will stay Look around where we are, who we are What we always want Twenty-four-seven-three-sixty-five Sometimes little more I was chasing your shadow Not knowing I'd become your slave I could be foreign forever To your otherland I could be foreign forevermore To your promiseland One life was great but another No, I don't want to live on the edge I won't follow you, I found my own I will stay I could stay forevermore I've said a farewell To never-ending smiles I did not look good in red From my place I can finally See how much Of this shade I called Myself Was me And what was left behind I could be foreign forever To your otherland I could be foreign forevermore To your promiseland One life was great but another No, I don't want to live on the edge I won't follow you, I found my own I will stay I could stay forevermore I've said a farewell To never-ending smiles From my place I can finally see How much of this shade Was me And what was left behind
