Minding my own business, when you came along
Temperature's been running hot, the fever was so strong

We all lead such elaborate lives
Wild ambitions in our sights
How an affair of the heart survives
Days apart and hurried nights

Seems quite unbelievable to me
I don't want to live like that
Seems quite unbelievable to me
I don't want to love like that
I just want our time to be slower and gentler, wiser, free


We all live in extravagant times
Playing games we can't all win
Unintended emotional crimes
Take some out, take others in


I'm so tired of all we're going through
I don't want to live like that
I'm so tired of all we're going through
I don't want to love like that
I just want to be with you now and forever, peaceful, true


This may not be the moment
To tell you face to face
But I could wait forever
For the perfect time and place


We all live such elaborate lives
We don't know whose words are true
Strangers, lovers, husbands, wives
Hard to know whose loving who


Too many choices tear us apart
I don't want to live like that
Too many choices tear us apart
I don't want to love like that
I just want to touch your heart, may this confession be the start

It can't be love
for there is no true love
It can't be love
for there is no true love

Sure I'm C.F.K.
but you gotta love me
the cost no man can say
but you gotta love me

Well I'm sorry but I'm not
interested in gold mines, oil wells, shipping or real estate
what would I liked to have been?
everything you hate

cause It can't be love
for there is no true love
It can't be love
for there is no true love

There is a man
a certain man
and for the poor you may be sure
that he'll do all he can
who is this one?
who's favourite son?
just by his action has the traction
magnets on the run
who likes to smoke
enjoys a joke
and wouldn't get a bit
upset if he were really broke
with wealth and fame
he's still the same
I'll bet you five you're not alive
If you don't know his name

You said the union forever
You said the union forever
You cried the union forever
but that was untrue girl

cause It can't be love
for there is no true love
It can't be love
for there is no true love

There's no home for you here girl, go away
There's no home for you here

I'd like to think that all of this constant interaction
Is just the kind of make you drive yourself away
Each simple gesture done by me is counteracted
And leaves me standing here with nothing else to say

Completely baffled by a backward indication
That an inspired word will come across your tongue
Hands moving upward to propel the situation
Have simply halted
And now the conversation's done

There's no home for you here girl, go away
There's no home for you here

I'm only waiting for the proper time to tell you
That it's impossible to get along with you
It's hard to look you in the face when we are talking
So it helps to have a mirror in the room

I've not been really looking forward to the performance
But there's my cue and there's a question on your face
Fortunately I have come across an answer
Which is go away
And do not leave a trace

There's no home for you here girl, go away
There's no home for you here

Waking up for breakfast
Burning matches
Talking quickly
Breaking baubles
Throwing garbage
Drinking soda
Looking happy
Taking pictures
So completely stupid
Just go away

There's no home for you here girl, go away
There's no home for you here

Through the corridors of sleep
Past the shadows dark and deep
My mind dances and leaps in confusion.
I don't know what is real,
I can't touch what I feel
And I hide behind the shield of my illusion.

So I'll continue to continue to pretend
My life will never end,
And flowers never bend
With the rainfall.

The mirror on my wall
Casts an image dark and small
But I'm not sure at all it's my reflection.
I am blinded by the light
Of God and truth and right
And I wander in the night without direction.

So I'll continue to continue to pretend
My life will never end,
And flowers never bend
With the rainfall.

It's no matter if you're born
To play the King or pawn
For the line is thinly drawn 'tween joy and sorrow,
So my fantasy
Becomes reality,
And I must be what I must be and face tomorrow.

So I'll continue to continue to pretend
My life will never end,
And flowers never bend
With the rainfall.

When our lives give us time again
Sometimes we dive right in
Sometimes you're here but gone
When your thinking of things to do
And you let it get to you
Seems like you'd rather be alone

And it feels like I've
knocked on your door and
I'm waiting
You're somewhere inside but don't come
You've got your reasons
Sometimes I think that it's me
You're hiding from

Show me
Show me
Show me the secret
Where you keep it
Show me the key
Show me

I love the nights when our timing is right
It fades with the moon up above
'Cause that's when memories get made
That would never fade
And we feel the depths of our love

Well we don't have time for
the stars to align
Let's change our fate with desire
So what can I do to get through to you
When you're worried, frightened, and tired

Just one turn to steer your fate
or wait for fate to spin you
Your trusting's fine
but much too blind
Your compass is within you

These days pass you yearning
like empty pages turning
You're holding out for something real
you can't play pretender
because you still remember
just how full your heart can feel

But how long the distance getting by and getting through
Your heart's strong insistence
says that nothing else will do
Or you could try on their distractions
wear some empty compromise
but it's hard to breathe
inside some cheap disguise
You can live your life completely
that true path you're here to find
or stay scared
and leave your destiny behind
It's right now
here's the turning point in time

Just one thing can kill this dream
to compromise your vision
We find our truth or live some lie
It rides on this decision

Meanwhile those other voices:
"hurry up and rush your choices,"
try to second guess your fate, oh yeah
"you can't wait forever"
"gotta pull yourself together"
"feel the time is running late"

Well this time right now
the turning point is here
so look deep, see clear
soon your chance will disappear
Or you could drift into distraction, wear
that empty compromise
but it's hard to breathe
inside that cheap disguise
You can live your life completely
that true path you're here to find
or stay scared and leave your destiny behind
It's right now
here's the turning point in time
Here's the turning point in time
Here's the turning point in time.
