The Earth can be any shape you want it — Thomas Dolby

"The Earth can be any shape you want it any shape at all Dark and cold or bright and warm long or thin or small If love is all youre missing look into your heart: Is anybody home? There are stones buried in your soul In time youll come to understand this flat old Earth is in your gentle hands"

"I scare myself just thinking about you I scare myself when Im without you I scare myself, the moment that youre gone I scare myself when I let my thoughts run But its oh so very different when were together And Im so, so, so much calmer, I feel better Cause the stars already crossed our paths forever And the sooner that we realize it, the better And then Ill be with you and I wont scare myself And Ill know what to do and I wont scare myself And my thoughts will run and I wont scare myself And Ill think of you and I wont scare myself"

"Some people sing love songs Everybodys got one This isnt my love song Its more like my love-gone-wrong song She came to breakfast And stayed a week But the lie detectors Broke down each time she tried to speak Broke down when she said: "You came close Close but no cigar You didnt miss by far You know you came this close Close but no cigar." I remember, I remember, I remember The promise in your eyes As black as the night I drove you to the airport And I remember, I remember, I remember The wide Brazilian sky that swallowed you Then I hit thirty Guess I cant complain But I must have been lonely The night I bumped into Lorraine She came for coffee And stayed all night But the lie detectors Broke down every time I tried to smile Broke down like the story of my life And each dream I missed by half a mile Broke down when I told her: "You came close Close but no cigar You didnt miss by far You know you came this close Close but no cigar."
