How do you know?

How do you know
when no one else seems to?
How do you know what to do?
Where do you go
when there’s nothing all around?
Do you just give it all up
and fall down to the ground?
How do you move on your own
with a belly full of stones
It isn’t as if you’re alone
in this horrible desolate zone
where the air is too thin for life
and everything’s under control
I can’t carry this flesh
in good conscience
past these monuments to arrogance
knowing it’s all as good as erased in time
The things I love have been disappearing
while I sleep
while I sleepwalk
while I walk
in circles around myself

pick yourself up off the floor and let's celebrate
we'll stay out irresponsibly late
and amid the mindless revelry
take a moment to stop and contemplate
the miracle of metamorphosis
let the distinction not be too finely drawn
between the flutter in the belly
when you feel it coming on
and the hunger that compels you
to go out dancing until dawn
drawn to the light at the heart of the night
there is no chance of getting home before we turn
into creatures of the night,
the kind that crash and burn
over and over again, we try, and we fail, and we learn
we're chasing a neon star
and if we wash up in the wake of a standing wave
just keep your head up and face the music
and focus on acting brave
hand in hand, our hearts beating like wings
we fall upon the stage
and into the light at the heart of the night
(we fall into the light)

Little love, little love,
Where do you come from?
Somewhere over and above
Little love, little love,
Why are you here?
I’m searching for a little love
Little love, little love,
Do I deserve you?
You’re not so good, but good enough
Little love, little love,
How may I serve you?
Will you be my little love?
Little love, little love,
Where are you going?
Going far away from here
Little love, little love,
When will you return?
I’m never coming back again
Little love, little love,
Where are you flying?
Somewhere over and above
Little love, little love,
Why are you crying?
I’m crying to find so little love

Dying inside
as I lie outside
the Tunnel of Love
The people walk by
they don’t see me cry
no, they’re too high above
But all the washed up clowns
in this burnt out town
they can’t understand the way I feel
I’m the saddest man
in Happy Land
I’ve been broken on the Wonder Wheel
All the cotton candy in the world
won’t satisfy the ravenous hunger in my heart
I’m the cheapest prize
in anyone’s eyes
watch the carnies laugh as I fall apart
Face down in the mud
with a mouth full of blood
in the greasy rain
Says the bone white moon:
“If you don’t get up soon
you never will again”
I could half believe
you’ve been true to me
and I could lie to myself
till I turn blue
And every strung out fool
turns their eyes to you
as I melt into a pool of goo
You left me in the tunnel of love
a broken lonely dissapointed puddle of hurt
I would never do
the same to you
Not for all the cotton candy in the world
