Safe Day

Have you been having nightmares again?
Have you been trying to murder your friends?
Lynda has been knocking at your door.
She's been hearing a thumping against the wall.

I don't think I really mind
When you run away.
Just stay in touch with me
And have a safe day.
I never never understand you.
I never ever listen to you.
But I'll have a safe day too.

In the spring, you know the trees
They can grow back all their leaves.
And I can't really see
Why you turned on your belief.
I take my time, I never rush my food.
I take my time, I know I'll be with you soon.

I don't think you really mind
When I run away.
Just stay in touch with me and
Have a safe day.

Well
I've been in my room turning to powder
And you've been growing wilder by the hour.
I can't get to sleep.
I can't eat my tea.
I can't clean my teeth.
I can't hardly see.

I've been walking down by the bay
And you've been having too many Red Wednesdays.
Red Wednesdays.
Red Wednesdays.

Well
China shops
And mountain climbs
And car parks you can never find.
Pop-up books and fatal shots
And tidal waves that never stop.
Chainsaws and millionaires.
The big fish coming up for air.
I broke my wings for swans and lakes.
I think I fell in love today.
Well have a safe day.
Have a safe day.

Jonathan Rain

I was screaming at my window.
I was laughing at your pain.
Wash away the blood
And take me into your heart again.
Down a never ending staircase
I follow the sound of your voice.
I've lost the will to hate you
As if I ever had a choice.
I walk a road
Back to the world.
It's another place to go.
You were being poisoned
And you didn't even know.

Jonathan Rain, Jonathan Rain.
Take me into your heart again.
Jonathan Rain, Jonathan Rain.
Tell me that you'll never change.

Tell me that you'll use me
And I'll tell you I'm not the same.
Open your arms
And take me into your Hell again.
Why don't you ask them
And have another cold affair?
We could start another war
Or we could sit and stare.

Go ahead and do
Anything you feel you ought to.
The dead are still my friends.
I think I'll leave the rest to you.
You wake me up
You hit me.
I don't know if I should cry.
But something's telling me
You know, I really ought to try.

Jonathan Rain, Jonathan Rain.
Take me into your heart again.
Jonathan Rain, Jonathan Rain.
Tell me that you'll never change.

I could be so sad
I never knew anyone else...

Empire (Jonathan Rain Part II)

I'm up here
In my empire in the clouds.
I can see
All your houses burning down.

My blind messiah.

I can see someone in there
On the floor bleeding,
And he's saying:
'Please stay young for me'.
He's saying:
'Where were you, where were you
When you needed me?'

Everyone's looking for a fire to fight.
Everyone's out in your Rain tonight.
But now all the fires have gone.
And I only want you to stay young.
Stay young for me.
Stay young for me.

Five Graves To Cairo

The rising sun
Holds no peace for me.
I only find I haven't gone insane.
I can't hear you now,
Pain's such a quiet thing.
Now I find I burn myself again.

Heaven knows
That seems so far to go.
Can't you see
This means so much to me?

Swollen hands
Clutch at the burning sand.
I know that this could never be the same.
Thought I was close
Searching for buried things.
I only find I'm lost in space again.

Heaven knows
That seems so far to go.
Can't you see
This means so much to me?

The moon is cold,
Burning like ice in the sky,
And we forget the things we used to say.
This nightmare drops
Into our open hands
And now I know I've crossed the bridge again.

Heaven knows
That seems so far to go.
The burning rose.
Five graves to Cairo.

Memories
Of graves cloud my mind
And Cairo seems to move so far away.
I follow you,
Though reasons escape me now.
I fall and find I'm lost in space again.

Heaven knows
That seems so far to go.
The burning rose.
Five graves to Cairo.
