Promised Land

Did there really exist a role for wanderer of his kind
That was a question he wanted to answer, before his time
See Moses wasn't allowed to enter the Promised Land either
But at least the goal was visable beneath his feet
This man had not been taken to the top of that mountain
And wherever he looked there was darkness, an apocalyptic night
And that vast barren desert seemed to stretch on forever
Endless darkness, even darkness at noon
La de da, la de da, even darkness at noon x2
What if the thing you'd strived for, for all your adult life
Turned around and shot you without blinking an eye
But who raised the pistol, what uniform did he wear?
And who's coloured portrain hung over his bed?
This man suddenly realised, there was not any mountain
And wherever he looked there was darkness, an apocalyptic night
That vast barren desert seemed to stretch on forever
Endless darkness, even darkness at noon
La de da, la de da, even darkness at noon x2

Why Did You Have To Go?
03:19

You came to everyone's crappy show
You heard stories no-one else knows
Oh why did you have to go?
I used to dream of our futures as a child
At a time when the limit was the sky
Oh Why did you have to go?
There ain't nothing in life you can predict
But then nothing can prepare you for something like this
Oh why did you have to go?
I always thought we'd be laughing til we're old
Bu then life is something frail onto which none of us can hold
Oh why did you have to go?

What Love Looks Like

Do you know what love looks like
Have you seen it looking back at you
Have you seen it at midnight, when it rips your life in two
Do you see it in the morning light, staring right back at you
Do you know what love looks like
I don't think you do
She met him when she just 17 and he made whole world move
And by the way that he looked at her, she thought it was true
Had she ever seen the same look in the eyes of another man since then
The one who always swore that he would hold her til the end
Do you know what love looks like
Have you seen it looking back at you
Have you seen it at midnight, when it rips your life in two
Do you see it in the morning light, staring right back at you
Do you know what love looks like
I don't think you do
Thought they grew together, they moved in separate ways
She's met some pretty men but none looked at her the same way
While Mr. L. Cohen says it calls you by your name
She was certain that it looked her in the face
Do you know what love looks like
Have you seen it looking back at you
Have you seen it at midnight, when it rips your life in two
Do you see it in the morning light, staring right back at you
Do you know what love looks like
I don't think you do

If You Only Knew

She walked to the balcony to have a cigarette
You were standing in the corner with some other hipsters from Melbourne
She took your light, you struck her with your ironic smile and she just stood there stunned
Your eyes intersected, she choked on her cigarette as she watched your face lit up by the moon
Drunk on her 16th wine, thinking up words to try to start to talk to you
But she could hardly speak, tounge stuck to her teeth, taking in all she could of you
You in that puzling light, ten minutes to midnight, boy if you only knew
If you only knew
She watched you up on the stage, engrossed by the parade as you killed her softly with your song
Wasting the night away, she danced then she swayed
It was you for whom she longed
But boy, she could hardly speak, 16 wines too deep
Taking in all she could of you
You in that puzling light, ten minutes to midnight, boy if you only knew
If you only knew
