No, I cannot go back
Back, down to the racetrack
Where I belong
To finish what I started
No, I cannot go back
Back, down to the racetrack
Where I belong
I'm sorry but this can't go on
In your dreams
Hear the starting gun
See the crowd go wild
Feel the car go nowhere
You wake
Lying on the couch
Watch the T.V. screen
Faces asking
"Where'd you go?"
No, I cannot go back
Back, down to the racetrack
Where I belong
To finish what I started
No, I cannot go back
Back, down to the racetrack
Where I belong
I'm sorry but this can't go on
So you stand
By the stadium
Waiting to come in
Waiting to be invited
You're stopped
By the public eyes
Who've seen your face before
"I loved you back in '85!"
No, I cannot go back
Back, down to the racetrack
Where I belong
To finish what I started
No, I cannot go back
Back, down to the racetrack
Where I belong
I'm sorry but this can't go on

Can you hear us now,
Can you hear us now,
Can you hear us calling out your name
Can you hear us calling out in vain
Are you with us now,
Are you with us now,
Are we coming through loud and clear
Oh please respond, for the worst we fear
Now, we're mourning at your loss
It's tearing us apart
For we can't reach you
Opportunity
We, we should have been there now
The plans were lost somehow
Now we can't reach you
Opportunity
She went where no-one's gone before
She made the grade and so much more
Though when she launched we would have swore
She'd not last this long
She went through hell for us to know
And now what do we have to show
A stack of postcards where she wrote
"I wish you were here"
Now, we're mourning at your loss
It's tearing us apart
For we can't reach you
Opportunity
We, we should have been there now
The plans were lost somehow
Now we can't reach you
Opportunity
We have a message from control
The signal's dead, the line's gone cold
Oh, do you read me
Do you know
Are you with us now,
Are you with us now,
Are we coming through loud and clear
Oh please respond, for the worst we fear
Now, we're mourning at your loss
It's tearing us apart
For we can't reach you
Opportunity
We, we should have been there now
The plans were lost somehow
Now we can't reach you

Fairy tales
03:03

My world is moving on
(On, on, on)
And it's leaving me behind
These tricks of mine
Don't fool them like they used to
My thoughts are all but gone
(Gone, gone, gone)
And my fingers get more boney
I've lost the plot
To my own fucking story
I feel like I've been
Thrown in purgatory
Have you heard
The page has turned again
I though fairy tales
Were supposed to end
The dust is swept away
(Dust and bone)
From my legs and from my shoulders
I'm sitting in suspense
And growing older
The book it starts to catch
(Burn it down)
To a blaze from just a smolder
These ashen words
Now line my vision's borders
Nonsense phrases
Taken out of order
Have you heard
The page has turned again
I though fairy tales
Were supposed to end

Dustbowl
03:44

A sandstorm's up
And blown away the land
A dustbowl's up
And taken all we had
To stand and fight
Against nature's might
Will lead us to destruction
And despair
We'll wait this one out yet
We'll live with this regret
My hopes
My dreams
My thoughts
All seem
To be a grain of sand
In a desert of many
Ventured to the plains
To try and find
The people who had gone
To start new lives
When I arrived
All that I did find
Were empty shacks
And withered bodies
Clinging to their plans
What things do we forget
When all involved are dead
My hopes
My dreams
My thoughts
All seem
To be a grain of sand
In a desert of many

My Head Feels Fine
01:55

Can you see me
Can you touch me
For who I say I am really
Though I'm tall
I'd like you embrace
For I feel so small and helpless
Still
(Still, still)
My head feels fine
I bend and I break
As I'm
Thrown into my outsides
If you like I could stop by
I know that I would
Like that really
Shine like gold
And love like diamonds
I could shine too if you let me
Still
(Still, still)
My head feels fine
I bend and I break
As I'm
Thrown into my outsides
Still
(Still, still)
My heart is mine
It bends and it aches
As I'm
Thrown into my outsides

Say my name
The one that I chose
I know what you told me
And you'll never know now
Sorry mother
It's true and I lied
The sons and the daughters
Who's bodies weren't right
You said that you'd never
Quite understand
When I came out the first time
Would you still love me then
Don't pray for me now
You'd get it all wrong
Though not for your daughter
You'd pray for your son
I have no safety
To help break my fall
If this did go poorly
Would you love me at all
