How Long Is Too Long Wasn't Long Enough

[Nearly Sane]

Being nice was my past time
But I've been hurt for the last time
And I won't ever let another person take advantage of me
The anger burns my skin, third-degree
Now my blood's boiling hotter than a fiery sea
There's nobody getting close to me
They're gonna bow to the Evil Queen
Your nightmare's my dream
Just wait until they fall to my wicked schemes

I never thought of myself as mean
I always thought that I'd be the Queen
And there's no in-between
Cause if I can't have that
Then I would be the leader of the dark
And the bad
Now there's a devil on my shoulder
Where the angels used to be
And he's calling me the Queen of Mean

[Nearly Sane]

I got the card, delivers the goods
Fills me with happiness
It's joy for a while 'till the first of the month
Then I'm chasing my tail again
I want a life that's bigger than me
'Cause I'm crushing myself to death
Tell you what I don't need
No heaven sent deity

'Cause I'm an ordinary angel
Winning tiny victories
And though the ordinary angels fly
Their wings weigh heavily
I try to be a daily genius
There's no idea beyond my reach
With all the angels and the geniuses
My company I'm gonna keep

[Nearly Sane]

Girl, I'm in love with you
This ain't the honeymoon
Past the infatuation phase
Right in the thick of love
At times we get sick of love
It seems like we argue everyday

I know I misbehaved
And you made your mistakes
And we both still got room left to grow
And though love sometimes hurts
I still put you first
And we'll make this thing work
But I think we should take it slow

We're just ordinary people
We don't know which way to go
'Cause we're ordinary people
Maybe we should take it slow
Take it slow
This time we'll take it slow
Take it slow
This time we'll take it slow

[Nearly Sane]

Let the world keep its carnival pace
I prefer to look into your beautiful face
What a waste
Let the stars continue to fly by
I don't have one desire to understand why
I don't try

Slow, slow
As slow as you can go
I want my senses to overflow
Slow, slow
And doesn't it show

[Aruntraveller]

Fly me to the moon
Let me play among the stars
Let me see what spring is like
On a-Jupiter and Mars
In other words, hold my hand
In other words, baby, kiss me

[Nearly Sane]

Now that she's back in the atmosphere
With drops of Jupiter in her hair
Hey, hey, hey
She acts like summer and walks like rain
Reminds me that there's a time to change
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Since the return of her stay on the moon
She listens like spring and she talks like June
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey

But tell me, did you sail across the sun?
Did you make it to the Milky Way to see the lights all faded
And that heaven is overrated?

[Aruntraveller]

We'd take the path to Jupiter and maybe very soon
We'd cruise along the milky way and land upon the moon
To a wonderland of star dust, we'd zoom our way to Mars

My heart would be a fireball, a fireball
'Cause you would be my Venus of the stars

[Nearly Sane]

Drifting down the spaceway
By the Betelgeuse Hotel
Mapping out constellations
Of the place I know so well
Sifting through the system
For the piece that knows my name
Endlessly I listen, in the master game


Welcome to my world
(Welcome to my world)
Welcome to my only world
(Welcome to my only world)
It is full of space junk
But your words are coming through
I'm riding on the space junk
And it's bringing me to you
Bringing me to you

[Aruntraveller]

Welcome to my world
Won't you come on in?
Miracles, I guess
Still happen now and then

Step into my heart
Leave your cares behind
Welcome to my world
Built with you in mind

[Nearly Sane]

As the trees reach for the sun above
So my arms reach out to you for love
With your hand resting in mine
I feel a power so divine

You're my world, you are my night and day
You're my world, you're every prayer I pray
If our love ceases to be
Then it's the end of my world for me

[Aruntraveller]

Why does the sun go on shining?
Why does the sea rush to shore?
Don't they know it's the end of the world
Cause you don't love me any more?

Why do the birds go on singing?
Why do the stars glow above?
Don't they know it's the end of the world?
It ended when I lost your love

[Nearly Sane]

Sing your song to me, my singing bird
Let your voice ring loud and clear so you'll be heard
While you're here tonight, we'll be as one
For tomorrow you will seek the sun

Sing your song to me, my singing bird
Let your voice ring loud and clear so you'll be heard
Just for the moment I'm asking you to stay
For tomorrow you'll be far away
For tomorrow you'll be far away

[Aruntraveller]

One day you'll look to see I've gone
For tomorrow may rain, so I'll follow the sun
Some day you'll know I was the one
But tomorrow may rain, so
I'll follow the sun

And now the time has come
And so my love I must go
And though I lose a friend
In the end you'll know
Oooh

One day you'll find that I have gone
But tomorrow may rain, so
I'll follow the sun

[Nearly Sane]

Now here you go again
You say you want your freedom
Well, who am I to keep you down?
It's only right that you should
Play the way you feel it
But listen carefully to the sound
Of your loneliness

Like a heartbeat... drives you mad
In the stillness of remembering what you had
And what you lost...
And what you had...
And what you lost

Thunder only happens when it's raining
Players only love you when they're playing
Say... Women... they will come and they will go
When the rain washes you clean... you'll know, you'll know

[Aruntraveller]

And I feel a thunder in my heart
That I just can't control
I feel a thunder in my heart
Should I walk away or follow my soul?
I feel a thunder in my heart
Where it comes from I just don't know
Oh no
Oh no

There's a storm ragin' deep in my soul
There's a howlin' wind that I just can't control
There's a fire inside me I can't explain
Every time you touch me my love falls like rain

[Nearly Sane]

Deep in my soul that tender secret dwells
Lonely and lost to light for evermore
Save when to thine my heart responsive swells
Then trembles into silence as before

There, in its centre, a sepulchral lamp
Burns the slow flame, eternal — but unseen;
Which not the darkness of Despair can damp
Though vain its ray as it had never been

[Nearly Sane]

Say my name
Sun shines through the rain
A whole life so lonely
And then come and ease the pain
I don't want to lose this feeling, oh

Close your eyes, give me your hand
Do you feel my heart beating
Do you understand
Do you feel the same
Am I only dreaming
Or is this burning an eternal flame

[Aruntraveller]

Everywhere I go
I see a face we used to know
I pass a place we used to go
When you were mine

Since you went away
(Since you went away)
My heart's not free
It keeps on raining down on me
Will there be a day when the sun will shine?

I want to see the sunshine after the rain
I want to see bluebirds flying over the mountain again
Oh, where is the silver lining shining at the rainbow's end?

[Nearly Sane]

If you go away on this summer day
Then you might as well take the sun away
All the birds that flew in the summer sky
When our love was new and our hearts were high
When the days were young and the night was long
And the moon stood still for the night birds' song

If you go away
If you go away
If you go away

But if you stay I'll make you a day
Like no day has been or will be again
We'll sail the sun, we'll ride on the rain
And talk to the trees and worship the wind
But if you go I'll understand
Leave me just enough love to fill up my hand

If you go away
If you go away
If you go away

[Aruntraveller]

Came in from the city
Walked into the door
I turned around when I heard
The sound of footsteps on the floor
Love just like addiction
Now I'm hooked on you
I need some time to get it right
Your love's gonna see me through

Can't stop now
Don't you know?
I ain't never gonna let you go
Don't go

[Nearly Sane]

Whenever I hear goodbyes
Remind me baby of you
I break down and cry
Next time I'll be true, yeah
Fever for lost romance
Remind me baby of you
I took a crazy chance
Next time I'll be true
I'll be true, I'll be true

Footsteps on the dance floor
Remind me baby of you
Teardrops in my eyes
Next time I'll be true, yeah
Whispers in the powder room
"She cries on every tune
Every tune, every tune"

[Nearly Sane]

Hollywood was bottomless so who are we to count the costs?
(Cosmetic change)
Well, let it be known that I try hardest, there's a fact that leaves me depressed
(All that work for nothing)
Some salvage is required

So we wait in line
Back in the powder room
The powder room
Visage redefined
Back in the powder room
The powder room

[Nearly Sane]

From Westwood to Hollywood
The one thing that's understood
Is that you can't buy time
But you can sell your soul
And the closest thing to heaven is to rock and roll

But somewhere in my heart
There is a star that shines for you
Silver splits the blue
Love will see it through
And somewhere in my heart
There is the will to set you free
All you've got to be
Is true

[Nearly Sane]

Some say the heart is just like a wheel
When you bend it you can't mend it
But my love for you is like a sinking ship
And my heart is on that ship out in mid-ocean

When harm is done no love can be won
I know it happens frequently
What I can't understand oh please God hold my hand
Why it had to happen to me

And it's only love and it's only love
That can wreck a human being and turn him inside out

[Nearly Sane]

Your eyes used to wander
But now they sit in place
I'm sick of all of the nothing on your face
Did I put the fire out?
Did I walk away?
Did I burn up all the oxygen and throw the rest away

And I don't want to be the ball to your chain
Seems that every time the weather's on our side
I turn it right
Back into rain

Don't hold back
Don't wait for the night to end
If it's me your waiting on then I say spend
Your time on someone else's sinking ship
