To The Moon & Back

She's taking her time making up the reasons
To justify all the hurt inside
Guess she knows from the smiles and the look in their eyes
Everyones got a theory about the bitter one
They're saying, "Mamma never loved her much" And, "Daddy never keeps in touch"
"Thats why she shies away from human affection"
But somewhere in a private place she packs her bag for outer space
And now shes waiting for the right kind of pilot to come
And she'll say to him Shes saying

I would fly you to the moon and back if you'll be, if you'll be my baby
I've got a ticket for a world where we belong
So would you be my baby?

She can't remember a time when she felt needed
If love was red then she was colour blind
All her friends they've been tried for treason
And crimes that were never defined
She's saying, "Love is like a barren place, and reaching out for human faith is,
Is like a journey I just don't have a map for"
So baby gonna take a dive and push the shift to overdrive
Send a signal that shes hanging all her hopes on the stars
What a pleasent dream Just saying

I would fly you to the moon and back if you'll be, if you'll be my baby
I've got a ticket for a world where we belong
So would you be my baby?

Mamma never loved her much and Daddy never keeps in touch
Thats why she shies away from human affection
But somewhere in a private place she packs her bag for outer space
And now shes waiting for the right kind of pilot to come
And she'll say to him Just saying

I would fly you to the moon and back if you'll be, if you'll be my baby
I've got a ticket for a world where we belong
So would you be my baby?

I would fly you to the moon and back if you'll be, if you'll be my baby
I've got a ticket for a world where we belong
So would you be my baby ... yeah
Savage Garden Lyrics

Carry On Dancing

The moonlight shines down interstellar beams
And the groove tonight is something more than you've ever seen
The stars and planets taking shape
A stolen kiss has come too late

In the moonlight
Carry on, keep romancing
Carry on, carry on dancing
In the moonlight
Carry on, keep romancing
Carry on, carry on dancing

You're never safe 'till you see the dawn
And if the clock strikes past midnight the hope is gone
To move under ...

The moonlight
Carry on, keep romancing
Carry on, carry on dancing
In the moonlight
Carry on, keep romancing
Carry on, carry on dancing

Move. Closer. Passion. Stronger

Theres a magic only two can tell
In the dark night, ultra violet is a wicked spell
The stars and planets taking shape
A stolen kiss has come too late

In the moonlight
Carry on, keep romancing
Carry on, carry on dancing
In the moonlight
Carry on, keep romancing
Carry on, carry on dancing

Moving on ... moving all night long
Carry on, keep romancing
Carry on, carry on dancingMoving on ... moving all night long
Carry on, keep romancing
Carry on, carry on dancing

Savage Garden Lyrics

Tears Of Pearls

And we stare each other down like victims in the grind
Probing all the weakness and hurt still left behind
And we cry the tears of pearls
We do it ... oh we do it

Is love really the tragedy the way you might describe?
Or would a thousand lovers still leave you cold inside?
Make you cry these tears of pearls

All these mixed emotions we keep locked away like stolen pearls
Stolen pearl devotions we keep locked away from all the world

Your kisses are like pearls, so different and so rare
But anger stole the jewels away and love has left you bare
Made you cry the tears of pearls

Well I could be the tired joker, pour my heart to get you in
Sacrifice my happiness just so I could win
Maybe cry these tears of pearls

All these mixed emotions we keep locked away like stolen pearls
Stolen pearl devotions we keep locked away from all the world

We twist and turn where angels burn, like fallen soldiers we will learn
That once forgotten twice removed
Love will be the death, the death of you

All these mixed emotions we keep locked away like stolen pearls
Stolen pearl devotions we keep locked away from all the world

All these mixed emotions we keep locked away like stolen pearls
Stolen pearl devotions we keep locked away from all the world
Savage Garden Lyrics

I Want You

Anytime I need to see your face I just close my eyes
And I am taken to a place where your crystal mind
And magenta feelings take up shelter in the base of my spine
Sweet like a chic-a-cherry cola

I don't need to try and explain; I just hold on tight
And if it happens again I might move so slightly
To the arms and the lips and the face of the human cannonball
That I need to, I want to

Come stand a little bit closer, breathe in and get a bit higher
You'll never know what hit you when I get to you

Ooh, I want you, I don't know if I need you
But ooh, I'd die to find out
Ooh, I want you, I don't know if I need you
But ooh, I'd die to find out

I'm the kind of person who endorses a deep commitment
Getting comfy, getting perfect is what I live for
But a look and then a smell of perfume
It's like I'm down on the floor and I don't know what I'm in for

Conversation has a time and a place
In the interaction of a lover and a mate
But the time of talking, using symbols, using words
Can be likened to a deep sea diver who is swimming with a raincoat

Come stand a little bit closer, breathe in and get a bit higher
You'll never know what hit you when I get to you

Ooh, I want you, I don't know if I need you
But ooh, I'd die to find out
Ooh, I want you, I don't know if I need you
But ooh, I'd die to find out

Anytime I need to see your face I just close my eyes
And I am taken to a place where your crystal mind
And magenta feelings take up shelter in the base of my spine
Sweet like a chic-a-cherry cola

I don't need to try and explain; I just hold on tight
And if it happens again I might move so slightly
To the arms and the lips and the face of the human cannonball
That I need to, I want to

Ooh, I want you, I don't know if I need you
But ooh, I'd die to find out
Ooh, I want you, I don't know if I need you
But ooh, I'd die to find out
So can we find out?

Ooh, I want you, I don't know if I need you
But ooh, I'd die to find out
Ooh, I want you, I don't know if I need you
But ooh, I'd die to find out

Ooh, I want you, I don't know if I need you
But ooh, I'd die to find out
Ooh, I want you, I don't know if I need you
But ooh, I'd die to find out

Savage Garden Lyrics

Truly Madly Deeply

I'll be your dream, I'll be your wish, I'll be your fantasy
I'll be your hope, I'll be your love, be everything that you need
I'll love you more with every breath
Truly Madly Deeply Do
I will be strong, I will be faithful
Cos I'm counting on
A new beginning, a reason for living, a deeper meaning yeah

I want to stand with you on a mountain
I want to bathe with you in the sea
I wanna lay like this forever
Until the sky falls down on me

And when the stars are shining brightly in the velvet sky
I'll make a wish send it to heaven, and make you want to cry
The tears of joy for all the pleasure in the certainty
That we're surrounded by the comfort and protection of
The highest powers, in lonely hours
The tears devour you

I want to stand with you on a mountain
I want to bathe with you in the sea
I wanna lay like this forever
Until the sky falls down on me

Oh can you see it baby?
You don't have to close your eyes, cos it's standing right before you
All that you need will surely come

I'll be your dream, I'll be your wish, I'll be your fantasy
I'll be your hope, I'll be your love, be everything that you need
I'll love you more with every breath
Truly Madly Deeply Do

I want to stand with you on a mountain
I want to bathe with you in the sea
I wanna lay like this forever
Until the sky falls down on me

I want to stand with you on a mountain
I want to bathe with you in the sea
I wanna live like this forever
Until the sky falls down on me
Savage Garden Lyrics

Violet

If theres a way that you could be everything you want to be
Would you complain that it came too easy?
Just like the games with you and me, a resolution hard to see
But thats OK cos I don’t see things that are plain to see

Well I’ve got a dream to take you over, exploding like a supernova
And I’m gonna crash into your world, and thats no lie

You want to give ecstasy delivered with certainty
But you’re afraid that the pleasure wont be needed
In a way, we’re the same two people looking out to sea
For a wave that would carry all our fantasies

If theres a way to infiltrate you, sway your mind and complicate you
I’m gonna crash into your world, and thats no lie

So let your body move into the doorway
To the disco inside your head (Violet)
Wear a colour that you want to cling to
The colour inside your head (Violet)

Contemplate jealousy intermixed with urgency
A million things take a damned good shot at you and me

If there’s a way to infiltrate you, sway your mind and complicate you
And I’m gonna crash into your world, and thats no lie

So let your body move into the doorway
To the disco inside your head (Violet)
Wear a colour that you want to cling to
The colour inside your head (Violet)

Dance ... to the disco
Dance ... to the disco
Dance ... to the disco
Dance ... to the disco

I’m gonna take you, I’ll do my best to break you
I’m gonna take you higher, and thats no lie

Common sense is a game many people don’t like to play
But give it in and the moment takes you either way

Well I’ve got a dream to take you over, exploding like a supernova
And I’m gonna crash into your world, and thats no lie
So let your body move into the doorway
To the disco inside your head (Violet)
Wear a colour that you want to cling to
The colour inside your head (Violet)

So let your body move into the doorway
To the disco inside your head (Violet)
Wear a colour that you want to cling to
The colour inside your head (Violet)

If theres a way that you could be everything you want to be
Would you complain that it came too easy? (Violet)
In a way, we’re the same two people looking out to sea
For a wave that would carry all our fantasies (Violet)
Savage Garden Lyrics

Universe

Well I’d like to take you as I find you
Imagine our clothes are on the floor
Feel my caress so soft and gentle
So delicate you cry for more
But you know baby, you know baby does it right
And you know baby does it right

Universe inside of your heart, you gotta let me know
So you can be free baby
You wanted it so much, and now that it’s over
You don’t know what you want

Put time in a capsule, two minds consensual
Entwined to perfection, if only we could ...

Cuddle up close, lay on my chest now
Listen my heart beats coming down
If you get tired you close your eyes now
When you wake up I won’t be found
Cos I know baby, well I know you’re the nervous kind
With so much going on in your mind

Universe inside of your heart, you gotta let me know
So you can be free baby
You wanted it so much, and now that it’s over
You don’t know what you want

But let me tell you that, this time (this time)
I’m gonna make you mine (I won’t let you go)
Cos I know that this time (this time)
I’m gonna make sure I look out for me

Cos you know baby, well you know baby does it right
And you know baby does it right
You will only end up lost in loneliness
And wake up with the words already on your lips
So I’ll let you go, baby, so I’ll let you go...

Universe inside of your heart, you gotta let me know
So you can be free baby
You wanted it so much, and now that it’s over
You don’t know what you want
Savage Garden Lyrics

A Thousand Words

We stumble in a tangled web
Decaying friendships almost dead
And hide behind a mask of lies
We twist and turn and we avoid
All hope of salvage now devoid
I see the truth inside your eyes

So take all this noise into your brain
Send it back again
I’ll bear the cost, shed my skin
Call you up and then...
I’ll say the words out loud

You could resurrect a thousand words
To deceive me more and more
A thousand words will give the reason why
I don’t need you anymore

Well, time manipulates your heart
Preconceptions torn apart
Begin to doubt my state of mind
But I won’t go down on what I said
I won’t retract convictions read
I may perplex, but I’m not blind

So take all this noise into your brain
Send it back again
I’ll bear the cost, shed my skin
Call you up and then...
I’ll say the words out loud

You could resurrect a thousand words
To deceive me more and more
A thousand words will give the reason why
I don’t need you anymore

I’ll say the words out loud, I’ll say a thousand words or more
Manipulation. Fabrication. Conversation. Annihilation.
I’ll say a thousand words or more
Damnation. Frustration. Elevation. Procreation.
I’ll say a thousand words or more

You could resurrect a thousand words
To deceive me more and more
A thousand words will give the reason why
I don’t need you anymore

You could resurrect a thousand words
To deceive me more and more
A thousand words will give the reason why
I don’t need you anymore
Savage Garden Lyrics

Santa Monica

In Santa Monica, in the winter time
The lazy streets so undemanding
I walk into the crowd

In Santa Monica, you get your coffee from
The coolest places on the promenade
Where people dress just so

Beauty so unavoidable
Everywhere you turn, it’s there
I sit and wonder
what am I doing here?

But on the telephone line
I am anyone, I am anything I want to be
I could be a supermodel
Or Norman Mailer
And you wouldn’t know the difference
Or would you?

In Santa Monica, all the people got modern names
Like Jake or Mandy
And modern bodies too

In Santa Monica, on the boulevard
You’ll have to dodge those in line skaters
Or they’ll knock you down

I never felt so lonely
Never felt so out of place
I never wanted something more than this

But on the telephone line
I am anyone, I am anything I want to be
I could be a supermodel
Or Norman Mailer
And you wouldn’t know the difference
See, on the telephone line
I am any height, I am any age I want to be
I could be a caped crusader, or space invader
And you wouldn’t know the difference
Or would you?
Or would you?

On the telephone line
I am anyone, I am anything I want to be
I could be a supermodel
Or Norman Mailer
And you wouldn’t know the difference
See, on the telephone line
I am any height, I am any age I want to be
I could be a caped crusader, or space invader
And you wouldn’t know the difference
Or would you?
