Two could be complete with out the rest of the world
Two could be complete with out the rest of the world
Do it for the people that have died for your sake
An entire generation that has nothing to say

How to make your way to me

Oh, let's say you made a deal with me
And I got your name and your home address
Oh, you're all trashed up with your big red belt
And I'd almost say that you might need help
I could drop you off at the next red light
If it don't make sense or it don't feel right

All the girls could never make me love 'em the way I love you

Can't you see the skies is not the limit no more?
I can see the elevator crash through the floor
I can still see yesterday sailing away
And seven billion people who got nothing to say

Are you coming home to to me?

Oh, I saw your face then I heard that song
It was so inviting, it hurt my bones
Well it looks like you but your eyes are gray
And your hair is gone but your mind's okay
Yes I like your smile but your forehead's cold
I don't want you to be afraid and go

I would cheat and lie and steal, now I'll stay at home and kneel for you

I was waiting
For my baby to arrive
Right by my side

Oh, please leave me alone tonight
Forget the past

Two could be complete with out the rest of the world
Oh you know I said it just to get you to laugh
Do it for the people that have died for your sake
An entire generation of entertainers to blame

The light is red, the cameras on

Get yourself a lawyer and a gun
Hate your friends whose friends like everyone

Childhood's end can be so competitive

Oh, the sky's not the limit and you're never gonna guess what is, oh
