you sit like a shadow inside a shadow, TV kills another soul
you don't know why the phone never rings on Sundays
the walls are alive from the light outside, it's like a film inside a film
the city's gonna teach you the part one day
and you shield your weakness, hey
but they know your secret
still I feel like dancing with you in systems of silence
we turn in a secret ballet all around and between the sounds and the sights
the fears will be fading away in systems of silence
I just wanna dance all the way right down to the core of the black and the white
you live for this city, breeding its illusions with your hands against the wall
another day has coached you into surrender
you're bleeding its emotions, walking its desires like a dance you can't perform
the city's gonna teach you the steps one day, yeah
and we've lost our senses, hey
but I'll take my chances
still I feel like dancing with you in systems of silence
we turn in a secret ballet all around and between the sounds and the sights
the fears will be fading away in systems of silence
I just wanna dance all the way right down to the core of the black and the white
and you freeze like they told you
and you give yourself up
and you reel spread-eagled (hey)
still I feel like dancing with you in systems of silence
we turn in a secret ballet all around and between the sounds and the sights
the fears will be fading away in systems of silence
I just wanna dance all the way right down to the core of the black and the white
still I feel like dancing with you in systems of silence
we turn in a secret ballet all around and between the sounds and the sights
the fears will be fading away in systems of silence
I just wanna dance all the way right down to the core of the black and the white
(systems of silence) oh yeah

I don't like your party dress
cause this ain't no party
you're falling around as if you
you know where the ground is
you've seen me a thousand times
and you know what my name is
but if you were in my shoes you'd know
what the price of fame is
so I wait outside
to see what I can see
and I follow you in through the blinds
until you're part of me
and I'm waiting
yes I'm waiting
I'm eighteen carat garbage
parked outside your door
won't you recognize my face
you've seen me here before
I'm eighteen carat garbage
won't you hear me out
don't wanna be living a lie
don't slam the door
I won't take a photograph cause
nothing would be on it
and there ain't a dime store novel
that I could write from it
and I don't wanna sound insane and
I don't know what your game is
I just wanna seize your brain and
see where LA is
so lock the house, burn it
but save the silver tray
but please give daddy that knife back
and please throw the gun away
I'm eighteen carat garbage
parked outside your door
won't you recognize my face
you've seen me here before
I'm eighteen carat garbage
won't you hear me out
don't wanna be living a lie
don't slam the door
there are hollow sounds in the hall of fame
and they're haunting me
I like people
yeah I like people when they're on tv
I'm eighteen carat garbage
parked outside your door
won't you recognize my face
you've seen me here before
I'm eighteen carat garbage, yeah
won't you hear me out

don't slam the door
I'm eighteen carat garbage
parked outside your door
won't you recognize my face
you've seen me here before
I'm eighteen carat garbage
won't you hear me out
don't wanna be living a lie
don't slam the door
because I'm eighteen carat garbage
parked outside your door
won't you recognize me
you've seen me here before
I'm eighteen carat garbage
won't you hear me out
don't wanna be living a lie
don't slam the door

it was a different face and a different smile then
in a lover's land where lovers kiss, mm
it was another place and another time then
but the same old plans and promises
somewhere I don't know where
there's a place for lost time
I know I shouldn't go there but I
I wanna be where fools rush in
I wanna fall in love again
I wanna go back to the place where I believe in lost words
I wanna lay my soul bare
knowing it leads to nowhere
and when it's over will there be a next chance, be a next chance
looking back to where the end of time ends
never knowing what was really there, mm
where every end is like a blast of silence (yes it is)
that's defeating me from there to here
sometime I don't know when
I will claim what is mine
and I won't be denied when I say
I wanna be where fools rush in
I wanna fall in love again
I wanna run back to the place where I believe in lost words
I wanna lay my soul bare
knowing it leads to nowhere
and when it's over will there be a next chance, be a next chance
though love is lonely
I'm a fool on lover's lane
though it's hurtin' me so bad, only
here will I be safe (hey)
I wanna be where fools rush in
I wanna fall in love again
I wanna go back to the place where I believe in lost words
I wanna lay my soul bare
knowing it leads to nowhere
and when it's over will there be a next chance (the next chance)
be a next chance
I wanna be where fools rush in
I wanna fall in love again
I wanna run back to the place where I believe in lost words
I wanna stand in the door there
knowing it leads to nowhere
and when it's all over will there be a next chance (the next chance)
be a next chance
mm, give me one more chance
oh yes, one more chance
mm.. give me, give me
I wanna sing a song about pride
I wanna sing a song about pride
I wanna sing a song about pride, hey
I wanna sing a song about pride
I wanna sing a song about pride
I wanna sing a song about pride
I wanna sing a song about pride, hey
I wanna sing a song about pride
I wanna sing a song about pride
