The Theory of Attraction

I could tell you that my name was Harry
But my circumstances won't allow me to
I had a theory that the surest way to
Make the moment rule would be to tell the truth
What do we have to do?
What do we have to play?
Do you ever listen
To anything we say?
If this room is empty,
Does it make us fools?
If this room is jumping,
Does it make us really cool?
Did you relaise that Johnny would become a
Killer, if you took away his toys?
If I could be anybody ever I think
I'd be Bowie, or the Beastie Boys
Kim may have to leave her polka dots upon her
Toes until the lock is on the door
And Joey thinks a band is bullshit if they finish
Playing and there is no roar at all

Turn us into a confession box
Hold my hand and you'll feel that it rots
Crossing my heart's just revision
When I know I can avoid the decision
Again
Oh God I'm such a puppy
It's one time when I don't want to be free
But commitment's just another allergy
With you the problem is less than zero
But when I look into her face she's more than my hero
It's a curse and a blessing I avoid the decision
But I'm lying on a slab so you can make the incision
Again
Oh God I'm such a puppy
It's another time I'm soaring on a flight of fancy
Heading towards her but my wings are melting
My faith disintegrates
Makes me love what I know I should hate
It's one time when I don't want to be free
But commitment's just another allergy
It's another time I'm soaring on a flight of fancy
Heading towards her but my wings are melting
0 to 100 to 50 to 0 to 100...
And I'm my father's son

I like your face
You know I like your face
You don't like mine
I know you don't like mine
It's not remotely difficult
Nothing could be simpler.
I like your mind
You know I like your mind
You don't like mine
I know you don't like mine
It's not remotely difficult
Nothing could be simpler.
I love you
You know I love you
You don't love me
I know you don't love me
It's not remotely difficult
Nothing could be simpler.
I need you
You know I need you
You don't need me
I know you don't need me
It's not remotely difficult
Nothing could be simpler.
You love me
I know you love me
I don't love you
You know I don't love you
It's not remotely simple
Nothing could be more difficult
It's not remotely simple...

Trapped in three dimensions with an eye into four
Left to live our crises day by day
What's the benefit of hindsight? The chances of fore?
Don't know what we're doing today
Cut all those threads to the helium balloon
Before you lose the picture for good
Crawl on the Earth before you walk on the Moon
Wear out your pride in your manhood
As everything happens in the present tense
Everybody lost in the present sense
Everyone embarking on their own defense
Everything happens in the present
Memories twirl their glitter and gold
Speculations hold the promise of joy
Any time is better than the one we behold
As we furnish our home to destroy
Yesterday's lesson says tomorrow is brief
Better make the most of it while it lasts
Desensitisation's a form of relief
Choose our futures no more than our pasts

Wrong Place
04:26

As the rain beats down, the wind is blowing through my hair
In the biting cold, ten thousand miles from anywhere
Won't someone tell me what I'm doing?
Won't someone tell me where I'm going?
Won't someone say...
I'm in the wrong place,
Wrong time.
I'm in the wrong place,
Don't know what I'm doing here.
I'm in the wrong place,
Wrong time.
I'm in the wrong place
And I've got to get out of here.
The bright lights of stars are not enough to guide my way
The trees surround me, and I wish the night would turn to day
Won't someone tell me where's the city?
Won't someone tell me what is happening?

In this empty room
Sun comes beating in
Can't warm the blood in my veins
One more empty year
In this empty decade
Of my empty life.
I don't know what I've done with my life
I don't know what to do
But it will all be clear
One day.
This alcoholic haze
Only makes more days
Of intense nothingness
I can't hear the howl
Of the radio
Shrieking its static in my ears

There's a light shining in my heart
So bright it shines right through my ribs
And out the other side.
The principle behind it
Cannot be identified.
And my body's just a membrane
Between the world and my mind.
The things around me and my brain
Are smeared together, intertwined.
I see what others cannot see,
cannot feel, cannot hear.
So as you stop to look at me
Standing here, year by year,
I'm more than I appear.
I can see you laugh at me
But don't you ever wonder how
I so easily guess the truth?
You've laughed at mine so many times
And kept yourself aloof.
But as Daedelus said to the other guy
Your wings will melt if you fly too high.
And if like Icarus you try
To reach the sun, you'll fall and die.
Ignore me if you will, that's your own affair.
Let your wings melt. I don't care.
All who see me must beware.
No-one can stop what I prepare.
I can go anywhere.
When I want to be all by myself
So I take myself to Mars.
Where Earth with all its problems
Is just one of many stars.
A blue ball creeping cross the sky:
Wax and wane, rise and set.
Across a void vast as the divide
Between what you want and what you get
No buildings, fences, walls or rooms
There's no-one there to point and stare.
I can scream and cry, howl at the moons
To a small degree I'm finally free,
No-one to bother me.
I'm finally free.
No-one to bother me.

I'm just trying to be
I'm just trying to be me
'Coz practice makes perfect,
And perfect is the best way to be
But I still got a lot to learn
Themes always return
You can rely on change
But some things remain the same
And you ask why
the stars in the sky,
Why death comes to us all,
And why we were born at all
And why there's so much shit between
You're trying to find a metaphor for everything.
But I say
It's clear as day!
The clouds by an apple burst
Our greatest blessing and our greatest curse,
Let every human sing:
Everything is a metaphor for everything!
Everything is a metaphor for everything!
So I'll keep trying to be me
If you promise to try to be you
And if we ever make it
Oh! The things we could do!
Nothing could stop us
Nothing mysterious
You can think 'til you're insane But the questions still remain
And you ask why
the stars in the sky,
Why death comes to us all,
And why we were born at all
And why there's so much shit between
You're trying to find a metaphor for everything.
But I say
It's clear as day!
The clouds by an apple burst
Our greatest blessing and our greatest curse,
Let every human sing:
Everything is a metaphor for everything!
Everything is a metaphor for everything!

Welcome, strange human, to the Seas of Europa,
Here you shall swim with the trout and the groper.
If Earth has lost hope, then we are the hopers
For justice, throughout the Universe!
The lyrics for the second verse cannot be revealed at this point in human history. True Friends of the Fish People will listen and understand.
