Lyrics

you feel it come in and, you feel it go go go,
you want to run and you, you want to know,
you want to look around, you want to blink your eyes,
you want to hit the ground, before the fever dies, tonight,
my darlin, i miss you, i wish that i was with you,
here.... tonight....
my days are, so empty, i need you here with me, here, tonight,

you want to get away, you want to find a place,
where you can spend your days, where you can save your face
you open up your eyes, before the day is done,
before the fever burns away, under the fading , sun... is gone,,,,,
the sun, is gone, i feel i don't belong,
right here, tonight,
somethin is, is missing, and i can feel the sting, tonight...

you're sitting quietly, you're singin to yourself,
you have no memory, of anybody else,
and you were never born , and you will never die,
you wear a crown of thorns, its bleedin in your, eyes,
and i am blind,
the words are, so lovely, i feel you here above me, now, i can see it in your eyes,
open the, the door, and, your touch is soft and warm and, HERE, just take the knife


a matter strange enough to me, one and one and one is three,
and three is everybody, you ever want to see,
YOU EVER WANTTO SEE
you open up your eyes, and, you want to tell me lies, and,
and i am yours and you are mine, and we are runnin outta time, TIME, TIME,
TONIGHT,,
no no more lies, tonight,
NO MORE LIES, TONIGHT,
i love you, you need me, it is a trajedy n bn to lie, would be, a crime,
i need you, you want me, you always have to taunt me, here, just take, the knife,
HERE, JUST TAKE, THE KNIFE,

i want to tell you and, i want to say, to you,
i want to hold you close, i want to let you go,
i feel the pain of it, there is no gain of it,
here, just take the knife....w0
