Now that I need you, you're going insane.Everyday, sinking in the quicksand.
Time exists just on your wrist, so don't panic.
When logic and proportion have fallen sloppy dead; And the white knight is talking backwards; And the red queen's off with her head; Remember what the dormouse said, Feed your head, feed your head.
I'll let you be in my dreams, if I can be in yours.
Blame it on the black star, blame it on the falling sky, blame it on the satellite....
...the ocean laughs this way.
Juran que el mismo cielo, se estremecia al oir su llanto, como sufria por ella...
Oh la salvadora, oh, sweet catastrophe. Ah siren song, our captain says there's nothing wrong. As I dash my ship upon your shore, a mad, drunk, and reckless troubadour. I'm outside here hollerin' at your door, begging you for more....baby ain't we a beautiful disaster...
Who was she, to feel so free?
How happy is the blameless vestal's lot! The world forgetting, by the world forgot. Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind! Each pray'r accepted, and each wish resign'd.
The sun's not yellow, it's chicken.
In a funny way, she reminds you of the fall.
Blue eyes, you're the secret I keep.
Home, places we've grown, all of us are done for.
Further along we just may, but for now it's just another lonely day.
All of the true things I am about to tell you are shameless lies.
If I told you a secret, you won't tell a soul, will you hold it and keep it alive?

"Invisible transfers, long distance calls, Hollow laughter in marble halls, Steps have been taken, a silent uproar, Has unleashed the dogs of war.
