Parantica Melaneus:
Questions
verse 1:
He asked, "Why do I continue living in misery?"
I said, "Strange that you should say that to me."
These are trying times, for you, for me, for everybody.
Things, places, people, change with time.
chorus1:
Things happen too fast and we all get lost sometimes
Sometimes people just get lost forever.
verse 2:
He asked: "Why are we still living in this misery?"
"This world has nothing left to offer for me."
These are trying times, for you, for me, for everybody.
Things, places, people, change with time.
chorus2:
We've gotta face the truth no way we're gonna hide from it
Just gotta move on, and face tomorrow.
verse 3:
Why are we still living in this solitary, individualistic state of mind?
Why can't we see the lack of a proper meaning,
to this problem, this state of mind.
chorus 3:
Thou Shalt Not Covet
You should not seek
going on like this will simply make us weak...
Transient (where are you
now?)
Verse 1:
All the stars of yesterday, Silver Screen and moonlight bay (where are you now?)
Asimov and Hemingway, for a while it seemed like they would stay
(where are you now?)
Hitler was a little guy who thought that he could reach the sky (where are you
now?)
Took a step, then he fell, didn't stop until he reached hell (where are you
now?)
chorus:
And all the people dead and gone (where are you now?)
15 minutes of your fame (where are you now?)
Words you've said are now forgotten (where are you now?)
We are passing through in transit (where are you now?)
Verse 2:
2 boys disappeared back in 1986 (where are you now?)
Didn't see them coming back, hell i can't even remember their face (where are
you now?)
Are they still alive? Still ok? Are they ever gonna come back to us someday?
(where are you
now?)
Immortalised for posterity, a poster with two faces and a reward (where are you
now?)
Chorus
Verse 3:
Elvis, Marilyn, Jimi, Kurt Cobain (where are you now?)
Flower power, hippy daze, Syd Barret died cuz he went insane (where are you
now?)
Albert, Stevie Ray, SBC and Good TV (where are you now?)
Good taste, Good times, and all the words you've said that are now forgotten...
(where are you
now?)
Chorus
Outro
Grey (the hypocrisy song)
verse 1:
Sleight of hand and twist of fate
Bearing down on you, down too late
I can see that we're not free
Hypocrisy, you're telling me
Chorus:
Well I'm raised in the city
And I learnt not to ask any questions
Well I'm raised in the city
And all i see is Grey
verse 2:
Maliciously he comes to me
Visual trick or treat, well, it ain't Halloween
They can see that they aren't me
Hypocrisy is not for free
Chorus
verse 3:
He's learning hard that it ain't easy
Wasn't meant to be anyways
We all can see the trickery
Hypocrisy bluffing you or me?
Chorus-Finish
Waiting
verse 1:
Little boy blue
tell me why youre crying
Little boy blue
tell me it's alright
Well stop your tears because I'm here
to take away your pain
Well stop your tears because I'm here
to take away your pain
chorus:
Wait for tomorrow
tomorrow will be a better day
drowning in your sorrow
wash it away in a sea of tears
verse 2:
Walking along
on the soggy rainsoaked streets
How many more days like this
must I live again?
Well stop my tears because she's gone
Won't you take away my pain
Stop my tears, Won't you please
take away my pain?
Chorus
End
Empty Glass
And he's calling out her name
He's crying everyday
Listen to him say
He's been waiting since you came
And he's crying everyday
And he's waited all today
And the days become years
But he's crying all the same
Won't you wait another day?
Won't you wait another day?
I've been waiting since you came
Won't you wait another day?
Her glass is empty and
her lips are cracked from all she's seen
Listen to her crying
Watching, waiting in a daze...
Wait another day
I've been waiting since you came
Wait another day
I've been waiting since you came
BREAK
Won't you wait another day?
Won't you wait another day?
I've been waiting since you came
Won't you wait another day?
But he's crying everyday
And he's waited all today
She's been crying all today
And she's waited all today
Finish
fall again
maybe I'm just not there
vapourised into air
tell me should I have stayed?
I've never felt so betrayed
and if I fell in love again
would you help me stand the pain again?
I'm holding on to yesterday
I'm tired of waiting everyday
have I been a fool for you?
I could have been one if you asked me to
yet all I am is dismayed
I've never felt so betrayed
and if I fell in love again
would you help me stand the pain again?
I'm holding on to yesterday
I'm tired of waiting everday...
maybe I'm just not there
vapourised into air
tell me should I have stayed?
I've never felt so betrayed
and if i fell in love again
would you help me stand the pain again?
I'm holding on to yesterday
I'm tired of waiting everyday...
