Momus - Platinum lyrics
[Momus - Platinum lyrics]
If I told the truth I'd like
To live my life again
Walk around my youth in somebody else's skin
One life's not enough for all that we contain
Nothing's going to save us now
Let's go back in time and see
What bridges we can burn
Kick over our tracks on the eternal return
Throw away the facts and figures
- we never learn
Nothing's going to save us now
Take me to the place where
My decisions are relived
Give me answers to the question
'What would have happened if'
Beyond the third dimension
Beyond the fourth and fifth
In a parallel universe
Hey DJ you've got it all wrong
No more golden greats, no more platinum songs
Put these frozen moments in the
Fridge where they belong
Nothing's going to save us now
I don't say that life's not sad
And death is not the end
Looks like you got typecast
By a double-crossing friend
Looks like we were here before
And we'll be back again
In a parallel universe
No regrets at least not yet is
All that we can say
Stand-ins for ourselves in
Life's identity parade
Gone the crimes that you committed
Gone the things you made
To a parallel universe
Hey DJ you've got it all wrong
No more golden greats, no more platinum songs
Put these master tapes back in
The safe where they belong
We've got to live the hallelujah now
So let's go
Walk the city streets with me
And cross a thousand lives
Count the possibilities that shine
In people's eyes ask how many dreams we kill
To keep our dreams alive
We've got to live the hallelujah now
Thank you for the memory
The curse you laid on me
Like a shooting star I burst into obscurity
Live this second first because
The rest is history
Nothing's going to save us now
Hey DJ you've got it all wrong
No more greatest hit's
No more platinum songs
Put these little shit's back in
The ground where they belong
Nothing's going to save us now
If I told the truth I'd like
To live my life again
Walk around my youth in somebody else's skin
One life's not enough for all that we contain
We've got to live the halellujah now
So let's go
To live my life again
Walk around my youth in somebody else's skin
One life's not enough for all that we contain
Nothing's going to save us now
Let's go back in time and see
What bridges we can burn
Kick over our tracks on the eternal return
Throw away the facts and figures
- we never learn
Nothing's going to save us now
Take me to the place where
My decisions are relived
Give me answers to the question
'What would have happened if'
Beyond the third dimension
Beyond the fourth and fifth
In a parallel universe
Hey DJ you've got it all wrong
No more golden greats, no more platinum songs
Put these frozen moments in the
Fridge where they belong
Nothing's going to save us now
I don't say that life's not sad
And death is not the end
Looks like you got typecast
By a double-crossing friend
Looks like we were here before
And we'll be back again
In a parallel universe
No regrets at least not yet is
All that we can say

Hey DJ you've got it all wrong
