Superconnector – Lyrics

IN MY ROOM

Well I want it all
But it’s not my call
I could not refuse you
Could never lose you
And I don’t look back
And my nights aren’t black
In a world of confusion
You’re my illusion

And so tonight I am in my room
And “The Life of Brian’s” playing on the tube
I can’t deny I was in the mood for deliverance

All the things you said
Drilled into my head
All my best excuses
They’re all useless

And so tonight I am in my room
And “The Life of Brian’s” playing on the tube
I can’t deny I was in the mood for deliverance

Trying to remember a time
I knew where everything was at
Now I stare at the walls
And the wall’s starin’ back
Trying to remember a time
When all the world was flat
I like it like that
Here on my back

And so tonight I am in my room
And the “The Life of Brian’s” playing on the tube
I can’t deny I was in the mood for deliverance

VANCOUVER

I went up to Vancouver
It’s a crazy kind of town
I got a little taste
There’s something funny goin’ round
Anything you want
Someone whispered in my ear
Didn’t give it thought
But it still was good to hear

Well after midnight
In the misty air
I wandered through the streets
Policeman didn’t care
Caught in some commotion
Or maybe just last call
I found myself in the thick of it all

Tryin’ to remember where I was last night
The city wants to love me
And I won’t put up a fight
I’ve seen everything there is to see
Down on the street
That’s where I want to be

I went out to the ocean
To make a little noise
Wound up talking to myself
Until I lost my voice
I do remember trying not to fall
Was it something that she said
Or just the alcohol

Trying to remember where I was last night
The city wants to love me
And I won’t put up a fight
I’ve seen everything there is to see
Down on the street
That’s where I want to be

On the street
That’s where you’ll find me
On the street
With my ragged company

I went up to Vancouver
It’s a crazy kind of town
I got a little taste
There’s something funny goin’ round
Breath in deep, it’s good to be here
Let it out and the world disappears

Tryin’ to remember where I was last night
The city wants to love me
And I won’t put up a fight
I’ve seen everything there is to see
Down on the street
That’s where I want to be

On the street
That’s where you’ll find me
On the street
With my ragged company

HOLD ON ME

Something’s got a hold on me
Got a hold so tight and it wont let go
Something’s got a hold on me
Got a hold so tight

Just chance that’s the way it begins
And meanwhile, meanwhile
No answers and no one pretends
To know for sure
She says it’s on her mind
I’m so out of mine

Something’s got a hold on me
Got a hold so tight and it won’t let go
Something’s got a hold on me
Got a hold so tight

Long drink with a couple of friends
And meanwhile, meanwhile
I think that they understand
Why I wait for her
She wishes me goodnight
I go out like a light

Something’s got a hold on me
Got a hold so tight and it won’t let go
Something’s got a hold on me
Got a hold so tight got a hold on me

Something’s got a hold on me
Got a hold so tight and it won’t let go
Something’s got a hold on me
Got a hold so tight

And I feel like, feel like, feel like letting go
Yeah I feel like, feel like, feel like letting go
Yeah I feel like, feel like, feel like letting go

She wishes me goodnight
I go out like a light

Something’s got a hold on me…

ALL IS GOOD

Changing courses, distant forces
Fading colors gone to gray
Hearing voices, scary noises
You’re free to look away
As if anyone could tell
As if anyone could help

And all is good, all is fine
See you waiting on the other side

Changing seasons, different reasons
There’s nothing new to say
Always something to believe in
The weather’s good today
As if anyone could tell
As if anyone could help

And all is good, all is fine
See you waiting on the other side
And all is good, all is fine
See you work it out in time
Work it out in time

As if anyone could tell
As if anyone could help
And all is good, all is fine
See you waiting on the other side
And all is good, all is fine
See you work it out on down the line
See you work it out in time
See you later on the other side

SAVE THE WORLD

A new day dawns
Heads are in the sand
She’s in my thoughts
But I’m far away
Yeah I’ve been caught
Chasing some long lost plans
It would be easy to get away
Then I reach the end
No hope in sight
There’s no tomorrow
But there’s still a chance tonight – hey now

I guess I have to save the world
Nothing can happen to the girl
But everything that matters to her
Means nothing to me
I don’t know the reason
Maybe just getting even
I don’t know
A way to save it all

Alone again
Thinking of presidents
Who came and went
Along the way
Some made a dent
In what we think and feel
But few were meant
To save the day

Well I’ll be strong
Stronger than they say
Reach beyond my insight
And just show’em all the way – hey now

I guess I have to save the world
Nothing can happen to the girl
But everything that matters to her
Means nothing to me
I don’t know, I’m thinking
I might end up like Lincoln
I don’t know a way to save it all

But if I didn’t have a heart
Then she wouldn’t know my name
And if I never played a part
Then I wouldn’t be to blame – hey now, hey now

Then I reach the end
In comes the light
Got to be some reason
Why I stay up half the night – hey now

I guess I have to save the world
Nothing can happen to the girl
Why do the things that matter to her
Mean nothing to me

Well I guess I have to save the world
Nothing can happen to the girl
If anything should happen to her
There would be nothing for me
I don’t know, I’m certain
Would be the final curtain, but
I don’t know a way to save it all

RIDICULOUS

Oh no, another year to go
You and I were complicated
So slow, why’d you have to go
Was this the dream for which I waited

Oh, it’s ringing in my ears
Oh, been coming on for years and years
And I thought you were one of us
And I felt ridiculous
I tried, thought you were warming by degrees

Oh no why’s it go so slow
Don’t you know I would have waited
Too late, nothing left to say
Let’s get on with it, that’s all I’m asking

Oh, it’s ringing in my ears
And oh, nothing I can do about it
I thought you were one of us
And I felt ridiculous
I tried, thought you were warming by degrees

You were the chances I was taking
You were the wrong turn I was making
You are the path I am forsaking
You are the dream from which I’m waking
I’m shaking now

And oh, it’s ringing in my ears
And oh, it’s been coming on for years and years
And I thought you were one of us
And I felt ridiculous
I tried, thought you were warming by degrees

SPINNING ROUND

Blind I was racing down a new avenue
I wouldn’t mind any way that would get me through
I was aligned with the world and a way to you
Seen what strangers could own, yeah

Spinning ‘round, and we all fall down
Looking up at the sky
Here together we lie deep in our own space

I was fine when I found my way to you
Didn’t mind having someone I could hold onto
Need a sign so I know it’s the same for you
Ok to lose control, yeah

Spinning ‘round, and we all fall down
Looking up at the sky
Here together we lie deep in outer space
Gravity couldn’t keep us down
Looking up at the sky
Worlds collide and then move back in place

It’s such a waste
Such a waste
Does it really even matter at all
If it’s all a big mistake

Blind I was racing down a new avenue
I wouldn’t mind any way that would get me through
I felt alive in my hopes and thoughts of you
Facing the unknown, yeah

Spinning ‘round, and we all fall down
Looking up at the sky
Here together we lie deep in outer space
Gravity couldn’t keep us down
Looking up at the sky
Worlds collide and then move back in place

Isabella Rossellini

Isabella turns your way and smiles
The world is warm and wild
Colors run for miles
An endless dream
In the dark you see her shine
You see beyond the lines
To long forgotten times
You want to enter

Isabella Rossellini smiles
And her world surrounds you for a while

Isabella turns away and sighs
The world is warm and wise
It’s safe from the outside
Her mother’s in her eyes
Other girls are not the same
You want to call her name
You fall into the flame
Calling out for

Isabella Rossellini smiles
And her world surrounds you for a while
Isabella Isabella smiles

And the world falls away
And you finally escape
From the weight of the things you know

Can anyone compete
You long to be complete
But you’ll never even speak with her alone

Isabella Rossellini smiles
And her world surrounds you for a while
And she doesn’t tell you what to do
Or see the mess in front of you
Isabella Rossellini smiles

Yeah she doesn’t see what’s wrong with you
And tell you from her point of view
Isabella Rossellini smiles
Isabella Rossellini smiles

Isabella turns your way and smiles
The world is warm and wild
But only for a while

ALL I WANT

I don’t need more advice
Just human sacrifice
I’d gladly pay the price
I’d suffer for it
I never fantasized
That it would come to life
Not hard to realize
That this is it

I don’t care about grades you were given
Or what band you listen to
I’ve heard all I need to take my position
All I want is you
All I want is you

And when the wolves arrive
There in the dead night
You keep ‘em pacified
They hunger for you
And when the cold winds blow
Ten feet of ice and snow
Can’t stop the river’s flow
It’s runnin’ for you

I don’t care about grades you were given
Or what band you listen to
I see everything ‘cause I’m on a mission
All I want is you
All I want is you

Is it all the same to you
Won’t you tell me something
Is it all a game to you
Is it all the same to you
Won’t you tell me something
Better make a move

I don’t need more advice
Just human sacrifice
I’d gladly pay the price
I’d suffer for it

I don’t care about grades you were given
Or what band you listen to
I’ve heard all I need
It’s our turn for livin’
All I want is you
All I want is you

STREWN

Strewn
Like the bottles ’round the room
Everything is out of tune
When you’re nothing but strewn

Sad
Like a nightmare I just had
Everything is crazy mad
When you’re nothing but sad

I hit the sky
I wonder why
It leaves me wanting

I touched the ground
Falling down
It starts to haunt me

When I’m strewn
Spinning madly ’round the room
Like the rocks upon the moon
Hope I’m landing soon

Strewn
Like some trinket in a tomb
Lord Carnarvon met his doom
He was stone cold strewn

I hit the sky
I wonder why
It leaves me wanting

I hit the ground
Falling down
You know it haunts me
If you don’t want me
Anyway I’ll be happier then when I’m strewn

MINNESOTA

There was a reason
Try to please him
And you have everything you need
Love him more than life
Picture perfect wife
It gives you something to believe

You’ve known it all along
There’s little safety
No one to save you but yourself lately
Minnesota-they can’t own you
You are out there
Somewhere far away from me
Minnesota-good to know you
Meet you out there
On the edge of fantasy

Outside thunder
Makes you wonder
If you can possibly succeed
Where’s the lightening go
There’s no afterglow
Still you follow any lead

And when you’ve had enough
When it gets crazy
That’s when it’s obvious
You need more than daydreams
Minnesota-they can’t own you
You are out there somewhere
Far away from me
Minnesota-good to know you
Meet you out there
On the edge of fantasy

Outside thunder
Start to wonder
How can you possibly succeed

You’ve known it all along
There’s little safety
No one to save you from yourself lately
Minnesota-they can’t own you
You are out there
Somewhere far away from me
Minnesota-good to know you
Meet you out there
On the edge of fantasy

I WILL NOT BE MISSED

You say you want me
But it’s not so
Just there to haunt me
And make me feel low
Like it was something
I could never know
You held so tightly
Would never let go

Smiling as you take my hand
It will go as planned
Smiling till the bitter end
Like we’ll still be friends
Like you didn’t know
I will not be missed
Now it’s come to this
Barely know my ways to begin

If there was somewhere
I could never go
I’d surely run there
No one would ever know

Smiling as you take my hand
It will go as planned
Smiling like you understand
Like we’ll still be friends
Even though
I will not be missed
Now it’s come to this
Barely know my ways to begin
I don’t want to fit in

Don’t be waiting for me
Don’t be waiting, waiting

Smiling as you take my hand
It will go as planned
Smiling like you understand
Like we’ll still be friends
Even though
I will not be missed
Now it’s come to this
Barely know my way’s to begin
I will not be missed
I will just resist
This is where I came to begin
I don’t want to win
