The Turn Lyrics Options

[Tips]

Alright, since the band doesn't seem to want to release the official lyrics, I thought we could give it a go. So here are the ones I have so far:

Siren's Call

I count the ways you turn me on
I calculate the gravity of your songs
Sirens calling
I count the ways you turn me on

A crack of your whip
Taking the hit
I'm caught in your grip
And now you thought you fooled me

I count the days since we went wrong
I contemplate a world where you're gone
Sirens calling
The angle of incidence meets my reflection

A crack of your whip
Taking the hit
I'm caught in your grip
And now you thought you fooled me

I can hear the sirens calling
Save myself I can't my darling
I can hear the sirens calling
Save myself I can't my darling

The reflection of your eyes
Disapears in mirror's mind

I'm tied to the mast
As I pass through the black

I can hear the sirens calling
Save myself I can't my darling
I can hear the sirens calling
Save myself I can't my darling

Need Tonight

You never thought we'd get this far
The road was closed
You never thought your world would heal
Love would pass you by
The scars of life have cut you deep
But time has a way
Say what you want but I know this love is real

If you believe in it
If you believe in it
If you believe in it
If you believe in it

The (hep??) of life can take so long
But the tide has turned

Say what you want but I know this love is real
If you believe in it
If you believe in it
If you believe in it
If you believe in it

In the line of fire

Say what you want but I know this love is real
If you believe in it
If you believe in it
If you believe in it
If you believe in it

Love's all we need tonight
Love's all we see tonight
Love's all we need tonight
Love's all we see tonight

The Strength To Hold On

All I wanted and had hoped to see
Was too days away
And all the things you ever took from me
Hits your eyes

This looming, numbing feeling comforts me
It's your eyes
It seems so worthless now for me to say
I fear it's too late for me (or being)

Is it too late?

You wrapped your life in line
When everything was fine
You ride our sun on fire
You have the strength to hold on

If I could go back and not hesitate
Would you wait for me?

Would you wait for me?

You wrapped your life in line
When everything was fine
Now it's just not the same
Only yourself to blame
You ride our sun on fire
And have the strength to hold on

Cause all I wanted and had hoped to see
Is it too late?

You wrapped your life in line
When everything was fine
Now it's just not the same
Only yourself to blame
You ride our sun on fire
And have the strength to hold on

You ride our sun on fire
You have the strenght to hold on
Now it's just not the same
Only yourself to blame
You ride our sun on fire
You have the strength to hold on
Hold on...

We Open The Door

We open the door
And as real as it seems
Are we really, really here?

If we are the eyes
We might as well stay closed
When we're only seeing the black and the white
The blood in the sky
Let's lift each other while we're still alive

Now, we do this right
Now, believe this right
Now, we start living our lives
Now...

We planted our seeds
Stacked our steel to the sky
Made 10 000 years of mistakes

Relying on gold
Our faith is all we had
And when I touch you here in this room
Feeling consumed
You rescue me and I'll rescue you

Now, we do this right
Now, believe this right
Now, we start living our lives
Now it ends tonight
Now, we'll make this right
Now while we're still alive
We won't lose this feeling that's burning inside

I won't leave you, I won't leave you
Here in this room
Feeling consumed
You rescue me and I'll rescue you

Now, we do this right
Now, believe this right
Now, we start living our lives
Now it ends tonight
Now, we'll make this right
Now while we're still alive
We won't lose this feeling that's burning inside

We give the sky, no longer blind
We don't need a reason, we don't need a number
We're already there, we're already there
This is where we'll keep it burning inside

Now, now, now

Now it ends tonight
Now, we'll make this right
Now, we start living our lives now

By Design

There is a ghost following me
Staring me down and it's eating away at everything

I could not notice, currency paid
Too much now I am seeing right through, seeing right through

Diamonds will shine, women will glow
Our lines are crossed now, we're miles away from everything

How could we notice, when currency paid?
Too much now, we own it back own it back

We leave behind, we leave behind
All the 'you and I's'
We burn the fields for room to grow it's by design
We leave behing all the desperate 'you and I's'
We burn the bridges back to you it's by design

I've seen this before
Skeleton keep our locks at every door
Hinged on swollen frames
And completely wood floors

The house will fall
Collapsing into itself
Now a fire burns
And it's turning me on, it's turning me on

We leave behind, we leave behind
All the 'you and I's'
We burn the fields for room to grow it's by design
We leave behing all the 'you and I's'
We burn the bridges back to you it's by design

Oh it's by design

[Carlos Campos]

Natural Born Killers

I don't know how you ever take it
I see the ways he always puts you down
I know I'm not the first to say it
Baby, put your foot down

This back and forth is gonna kill you
I know you think you can't give him up
I don't know how else I can say it
Baby, put your foot down, put your foot down

See me tonight, you can stop your running
Open your eyes, you should've seen it coming
See me tonight, we can put him down

I never hesitate to tell you just how it is
Even if I think it might upset you
There was always something wrong about the way that you lived
Baby, put your foot down, put your foot down

See me tonight, you can stop your running
Open your eyes, you should've seen it coming
See me tonight, we can put him down, we can put him

I clocked his every movement
His collections all through town
Honey leave the back door open
At 3 we take him down, take him down, take him down

See me tonight, you can stop your running
Open your eyes, you should've seen it coming
See me tonight, we can put him down, we can put him

See me tonight, you can stop your running
Open your eyes, you should've seen it coming
See me tonight, we can put him down
We can put him down
Put him down

Ahhhhhhh

6310 Rodgerton Dr.

Theres a house I loved
On the canyon wall
Where Bogart kissed BaCall
Bought by dead man's curve
I had much to learn
As the fire began to burn

these stars shown low
Cause shes asleep below
as the smoke claimed the room
and my brothers feels he's certain
he hears laughter down the hall
it's just the whisper of the flames

they don't know it's taking fire
they don't know it's taking fire
they don't know it's taking fire
they don't know it's taking fire

as the monster came alive
I count four or not five
news teams and the cameras crews
I can't hear myself scream as i'm calling for you
and the master tapes and songs that you'll never hear
the neighbors they just stand and stare
blisters on my hands and on my bleeding feet
as i drag you out through the broken door

they don't know it's taking fire
they don't know it's taking fire
they don't know it's taking fire
they don't know it's taking fire

as I stand alone, forever changed
In the charred remains
oh these things are just things
that i'll replace once more
walking through life's open door

they don't know it's taking fire
they don't know it's taking fire
they don't know it's taking fire
they don't know it's taking fire

they don't know it's taking fire
they don't know it's taking fire

[Carlos Campos]

Till You Came Around

I used to think, that I really knew
what beautiful was
Believed it was clearly, set there in stone
Till you came around

Never knowing, what peace I could find
Love, beautiful mind
Had to go out, couldn't stay home
Till you came around, around

I learned you don't have to prove anything
Cause you changed the rules, the rules, the rules

As mystery's come and I understand
Life's beautiful plan
The love that I feel so terribly real
When you come around, around

I learned you don't have to prove anything
Or live for anyone else
Cause you changed the rules, the rules, the rules

I used to think that I really knew
Till you came around

[Bremang]

Siren's call:

I hear it differently:

The reflection of your eyes
Disappears and mirrors mine

I'm tied to the mast
As I pass in the by (i know this line doesn't make any sense but that's what it sounds like in the yahoo concert)

Dangum, maybe it's a good idea to make some sort of a page on this site used for the lyrics of The Turn? i'm sure a lot of us freaks will like it.

That would be cool. Especially if everyone participates.

[Tips]

The way around is through

Breaking it was easy now we'll never know
Just how well it was made
Seeing it completely opening up
What did we think it contained?
The glare off the sign is blinding
And there's no way around it
It's mine

Believe tonight we'll see the truth
The only way around is through
Believe tonight we'll see the truth
The only way around is through

Running out of leverage tearing off the roof
Shading my eyes from the light
The glare off the sun is blinding
And I'll have to admit it
It's mine

Believe tonight we'll see the truth
The only way around is through
Believe tonight we'll see this truth
The only way around is through
Believe tonight we'll see the truth
The only way around is through
Believe tonight we'll see this truth
There are no way around but through

I hear the footsteps
Of past generations
Seeing the glory of a previous time
I look in the mirror
And see my reflection
There's no way around it
It's mine

Believe tonight we'll see the truth
The only way around is through
Believe tonight we'll see the truth
There are no way around but through

Breaking it was easy

[Tips]

He Could Teach The Devil Tricks

Yeah you, you really had to start the fight
You really tried to hide the line
You really had to break it up
Why would you break it up?

Now all this time I can hear you say

"I never really saw it coming
I never really saw it coming
I never really saw it coming"

You close your eyes again

Yeah you, you were the mystic and the healing force
All the stars following their course
And yet it takes and blows apart
The fabric of the universe

I can hear you say

"I never really saw it coming
I never really saw it coming
I never really saw it coming"

"I never really saw it coming
I never really saw it coming
I never really saw it coming"

"I never really saw it coming
I never really saw it coming
I never really saw it coming"

You close your eyes again
Close your eyes again

[Tips]

This is what I could decipher of Don't Run To Wait (help?)

Don't Run To Wait

I had a feeling we were close to a beginning
Out on the ... the tension's great
When can ... the steps that we were taking
You found a book and you're always leaving

I thought the night was such a seminal connection
You showed me ... is great
... everyone faceless but we're really
You found the clue but you're always leaving
Always leaving

Don't run to wait
Don't shy away
Now that you need it it's all right in your face
You know that you want it so don't shy away

Play tonight, cause everything's on
Takes a man off to know your goodbye's
On your knees, waiting on and off off of your lies
Always leaving

Don't run to wait
Don't shy away
Now that you need it it's all right in your face
You know that you want it so don't shy away

Don't run to wait
Don't shy away
Now that you need it it's all right in your face
You know that you want it so don't run to wait
Don't shy away
Now that you need it it's all right in your face
You know that you want it so don't shy away

I hear these edits:


you really had to start the FIRE

yeah you, you were the mystic and MY healing force

and yet it TEARS and PULLS apart the fabric of the universe

[alexou]

Thanks to all that do that.

You're welcome!

Yup, the basis of them anyway.

booklet said Shinn wrote the lyrics to all of them, in collaboration with Harrison for most and I think another person for a track or 2.
