So many lives that intertwine And melodies about to start So many weaves forced to unwind And lonesome songs encased in hearts And as the music plays No one stops to listen And as the last notes fade Did everybody miss them? Does anybody miss them? And just down from James Street Where crowns and crooks alike do meet I'll search for words I'll never find I'll work for dreams money can't buy And just down from James Street My hymns are on a different sheet And I'm wondering if someone else Is singing them with me Blurring sounds, unfocused speech Where human touch is accident Connections near but out of reach That all mean nothing since she wentaway And there's a fraying thread Through all the roads I'm travelling Leading to my head From where I began unraveling Can they see me unraveling? And just down from James Street Where crowns and crooks alike do meet I'll search for words I'll never find I'll work for dreams money can't buy And just down from James Street My hymns are on a different sheet And I'm wondering if someone else Is singing them with me Display my heart and soul for sale And hope someone will see it's worth Search through stalls to no avail For rope to tether me to Earth And if there's something else In this world worth living for Then I'll take it now Cos I can't take no more Cos I can't take no more Scared to look around The world is smaller with your eyes down Six feet above the ground Twelve feet from where I wish I was Empty tins of paint The void I filled with Librium and work Passion wrought with hate Reduced to insincerely asking generic faces as they browse: "What are you looking for?" "What are you looking for?" "What are you looking for?" Cos if they really knew then surely here's the last place they'd be? Curious, I peer At a painting of a girl in patchwork dress Eyes of love and fear Their hazel melancholy tell of what I know so well Shoulders hunched and broad His gaze hovers, lost but strong A price he can't afford But still I turn my head and find I('m) tentatively ask(ed) "What are you looking for?" "What are you looking for?" "What are you looking for?" Cos if I really knew then surely here's the last place I'd be? "What are you looking for?" "What are you looking for?" "What are you looking for?" But maybe in this moment is right where I need to be Catch a glance Eyes locked in dance Twirling, flying, falling Try a smile Let it linger a while Longing, hoping, mourning Read the light behind your eyes A heart as incomplete as mine A song that sings of what it's like To feel alone and never know if you're alive Hear a voice Lost in a crowd "Foolish, guilty, pointless" Shake a thought Fleeting reverie "Stupid, naive, worthless" Read the light behind your eyes A heart as incomplete as mine A song that sings of what it's like To feel alone and never know if you're alive Read the light behind your eyes A heart that's in an out of time A song that savours every line Awake at night, trying to write the perfect rhyme These conversations only go so far Before you've set yourself up to fall back down hard So why, when I don't even know who you are Do I talk, and talk, and talk? What are you looking for? What are you looking for? What are you looking for? What are you looking for? And just down from James Street Where crowns and crooks alike do meet I'll reach for hope I'm scared to find I'll yearn for love from time gone by And just down from James Street My hymns are on a different sheet But I'm wondering if you're the one who's Singing them with me What are you looking for? What are you looking for? What are you looking for? What are you looking for?
