Hey pretty lady don’t trip over your feet
You might fall down and end up underneath
all your burdens and the weight of the world
it all depends on how the story is told
I used to know you back in our playground
But now you’re some fancy VIP
And when you fall you’ll come crashing down
Nobody could see this but me
But you’re still on top for now
Don’t, don’t, don’t look down
Stand out from the crowd
Don’t, don’t, don’t look down
Hey pretty lady with the high heels on
Why don’t you come and step down from your throne
Don’t need to hear from you about myself
Why don’t you go and abuse someone else
But you’re still on top for now
Don’t, don’t, don’t look down
Stand out from the crowd
Don’t, don’t, don’t look down yeah
But you’re still on top for now
(Don’t, don’t, don’t look down)
Don’t, don’t, don’t look down
(Don’t, don’t, don’t look down)
Stand out from the crowd
(Stand out from the crowd)
Don’t, don’t, don’t look down
(Don’t, don’t, don’t look down)
Don’t, don’t, don’t look down
(Don’t, don’t, don’t look down)
Don’t, don’t, don’t look down
(Don’t, don’t, don’t look down)
Stand out from the crowd
(Stand out from the crowd)
Don’t, don’t, don’t look down

I’ve been walking lately, with head in hands.
I’ve been thinking maybe, you don’t have no plans.
But when I ask you turn me down like you always do. And then I watch you walk away.
You drive me crazy, you drive me mad.
I think you’re tasty when you move like that.
When I think about the old days when we,
Sipping cocktails on the sand.
Only thought to cross my mind is ‘Goddamn’
Hell no there’s no chance that I will come along,
With a girl, other side of the world.
And the distance is just too much work.
You drive me crazy, you drive me mad.
I think you’re tasty when you move like that.
You drive me crazy, you drive me mad.
I think you’re tasty when you move like that.
Ciao Juana, queria decir que fue mi culpa.
Lo que podría haber sido nunca será.
Pero al menos puedo decirte ahora que lo siento.
You drive me crazy, you drive me mad.
I think you’re tasty when you move like that.
You drive me crazy, you drive me mad.
I think you’re tasty when you move like that.
when you move like that.
when you groove like that.
when you move like that.

Well you shine bright all through the night with billboard lights.
My presence makes you silent in the night.
Your green heart and you concrete roots are still the things that I won’t do, you justice by
With your head in the clouds on a shitty day.
And your beauty from far away.
When I drive to you with a high point of view
there’s no mistake in life I ever made.
In this city I belong!
Oh this city no-one’s from!
In the city of sails where kiwi spirit still prevails
Oh this city sings its own song!
Now tell me do you still believe,
In decency and love, equality?
Sometimes I do believe it’s said that we are the only ones left,
Living the dream.
IN THIS CITY!!
In the city of sails where kiwi spirit still prevails
IN THIS CITY!!
In this city I belong!
Oh this city no-one’s from!
In the city of sails where kiwi spirit still prevails
Oh this city sings its own song!

I’ve been putting my war-face on, showing no respect.
I’ve been drawing plans out just to know what I’ll say next.
I’m getting sick and tired of the breathing down my neck.
But in this war, what you give ain’t what you get.
They use lies and words, hurt more than sticks and stones.
Lies and words, they’re breaking my bones.
My bones, HEY!
Now cover your eyes honey, I don’t want you to see the man I am,
these days have turned us into lovers in despair.
War is waging around us and we turn a blind eye to the men who damned well know, what they’re doing ain’t fair.
They use lies and words, hurt more than sticks and stones.
Lies and words, they’re breaking my bones.
My bones.
When will it ever end?! (when will it ever end)
When will it ever end?! (when will it ever end)
When will it ever end?! (when will it ever end)
When will it ever end?! (when will it ever end)
When will it ever end?! (when will it ever end)
When will it ever end?!

Stay for the Night

I’ve been sticking my head under water,
just to see if I can breathe.
I’ve been putting my hand beehives
just to see if still feel.
I know that you can,
turn my world upside down
just by making me jealous
giving me half a smile
But all of that is relative,
to a certain point of view.
I thought I saw your elegance,
but all I see is you.
And I must confess, that I made a mess, of what we had for a while.
And it is a crime, to be wasting my time, if it ain’t making me smile.
Stay for the night, and I will provide, whatever you had in mind
Stay for the night, we’ll watch the sun rise, on the other side
I got my head under water
I can breathe
At this moment, I realize
I am free
But even that is relative
to your stubborn point of view
When I see your arrogance
Then I know it’s you
And I must confess, that I made a mess, of what we had for a while.
And it is a crime, to be wasting my time, if it ain’t making me smile.
Stay for the night, and I will provide, whatever you had in mind
Stay for the night, we’ll watch the sun rise, on the other side
Stay for the night, and I will provide, whatever you had in mind
Stay for the night, we’ll watch the sun rise, on the other side
