Both A Carnival Of Lights & A Vapour Trail To Bare Only Now

You are ... Ride-ing my sky ... while I'm your polar bear who breathes & sighs in a shimmering evanescent love bubble both the cold & warmth can't burst ... while I'm hanging on every word you feel

Ride - Only Now

Only now the jewel shining
Only now I've lost the fear
In an hour I'll stop crying
Along the road ahead
Early on our life burned
Early on the gem not clear
Comes the time to take a
Turn to find another way

And I swear
No hurricane could lead me all astray
And I swear, no hurricane would dare to try
To keep me away

Only now have you touched me but
By now you're who knows where
Only now has it hit me, wasn't sure before
Early on the signals cross
Where's the potion, where's the drug
Just for now the jewel is lost
Keep on the road ahead and I swear
No hurricane could lead me all astray
And I swear, no hurricane would dare to try
To keep me away

Early on the signals cross where's
The potion where's the drug
Just for now the jewel is lost
Keep on the road ahead

And I swear
No hurricane could lead me all astray
And I swear, no hurricane would dare to try
To keep me away

Ride - Vapour Trail

First you look so strong then you fade away
The sun will blind my eyes, I love you anyway
Thirsty for your smile, I watch you for a while
You are a vapour trail in a deep blue sky

La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la V E

Tremble with a sigh, glitter in your eye
You seem to come and go, I never seem to know
And all my time is yours as much as mine
We never have enough time to show our love

La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la V E

Ride - Close My Eyes

Last night I had such a good time,
But there's a price to pay.
A night full of kicks, now the sun's in my eyes,
And I feel so weary today.

I want to close my eyes,
I want to close my eyes,
I want to ride and ride and ride,
Until I'm blown away.

Make your body a blanket,
Let me rest my head.

The world can wait for just a few minutes more,
They might as well be dead.

I want to close my eyes,
I want to close my eyes,
I want to ride and ride and ride,
Until I'm blown away.

Sunshine / Nowhere to Run

Hear the engine running as the tour bus pulls away
The sadness of the road will be the death of me one day
I'm sick and tired of my guitar and the same old songs again

And so I write a new one
That's the nature of the game
And when the party's over
I've got nowhere to run
The road goes on forever
Even when we're dead and gone

Drinking in a hotel room
I hate what I've become
I'm turning back to nothing
All my dreams have come undone

The spotlight drew me over
Now it's burning me away
So I'm looking for the real me
In some shadow when I play

And when the party's over
I've got nowhere to run
The road goes on forever
Even when we're dead and gone

But my love, she's so fine
She gives me
The sunshine
After the rain
After the rain

My love, you're so fine
You give me sunshine
When the storm is over
You give me the sunshine

My love, you're so fine
You make my sun shine
When the storm is over
You give me the sunshine

After the rain
After the rain
After the rain
After the rain
After the rain

After the rain
After the rain
After the rain
After the rain
After the rain
After the rain

After the rain
After the rain
After the rain
After the rain
After the rain
Sunshine, after the rain

RIDE - Portland Rocks (Official Visualiser)

When this battle is over
Who will wear the crown?
I'm so tired of waiting
Tired of you wearing me down
What are we fighting over?
Who wins if it's destroyed?
What is the prize if you win it?
Nothing lives in a void

why do I feel this way?
Like I'm hanging off the edge of the world
Hanging on every word
(Ah) why do I feel this way?
Like I'm hanging off the edge of the world
Hanging on every word you say

When this battle is over
Are you gonna win the war?
The one that you're fightin' the smallest
Wondering what it was for
You have nothing to offer
There's nowhere for you to go
Because there's nothing inside you
Anybody wants to know

why do I feel this way?
Like I'm hanging off the edge of the world
Hanging on every word you say

Why do I feel this way?
Like I'm hanging off the edge of the world
Hanging on every word
(Ah) why do I feel this way?
Like I'm hanging off the edge of the world
Hanging on every word you say

Yesterday is Just a Song

We don't have to think about tomorrow
On those days when everything feels wrong
Sometimes it's too much to leave your comforts
But remember what's in the past is gone
And yesterday is just a song

I've stopped overthinking what's been said
Everyone's got troubles of their own
Sometimes it's too much, but I don't stop living
Good or bad, there's not much there that's real
And yesterday is no big deal

Time runs and passes
Good times come in flashes
Sadness seeps in slow
Weighs you down, gets in your bones
But nothing's as it seems

And you'll never know what is
And you can change a feeling
In a moment just like this

Here we are today
Tonight's in view
Wanting more than this feels wrong
But you know I'm still greedy
I'll always be this way
First I grasp a moment, then it's gone
And yesterday is just a song

Ride - In A Different Place

Blowing bubbles, lying down
Waiting for the rain to fall
Laughing at the people
Wonder why they always rush, never slow down

And we're smiling, when we're sleeping
And we're smiling, when we're waking

Even if the rain falls down, and all the sky turns cold
I will feel fine
Thunder roared and lightning flashed
But you and I are in a different time

Floating in and out of time
In and out of space
No-one can touch us
We're in a different space

Drive Blind (2001 Remaster)

Can't see the lights or the blue orange signs
Can't see the road or the long white lines
Feeling the ground through the pedals in the floor
Feeling death pounding at the door
Windows all open, chaos in my hair

Driving me 'round and leaving me there

Cover my eyes and we'll die driving blind
Cover my trail and we'll leave life behind
Drive blind
All at once, too much light
Captured and frozen, hear no sound
Bright flashes penetrate
Glowing, flowing, lifting off the ground

Ride - All I Want (Official Audio)

There is a lil' wind blowin'
Maybe you feel it too
Strange people on the rise
One day they're gonna come for you
(All I want)
(All I want is)
(All I want)
(All I want is)
While you were sleepin' on it
Your future was torn from under you
It's not a pretty picture
This is nineteen thirty-two

(All I want is)
(All I want is)
All I want is to leave this time (All I want is)
Believe me (All I want is)
All I want is to leave this time

I can't feel how you want me to feel
I can't know what you want me to know
All I want is, all I want is
I can't be what you want me to be
I can't go where you want me to go
All I want is, all I want is

(All I want is)
All I want is to leave this time (All I want is)
Believe me (All I want is)
All I want is to leave this time (All I want is)
All I want is to leave this time (All I want is)
Believe me (All I want)
All I want is to leave this time
I can't feel how you want me to feel
I can't know what you want me to know
All I want is, all I want is
I can't be what you want me to be
I can't go where you want me to go
All I want is, all I want is

Ride - Deep Inside My Pocket

You think you know me inside out
Think you know what I'm all about
Here comes a slightly rude surprise

While you were tryin' to control
And trying to grab my soul
I blinked and saw right through ya

I'm spellin' out all of my rules
Keepin' charge of all my tools
I'm decidin' who gets inside

When someone cares, it's nice to know
'Til that care turns to runnin' the show
And then I'll turn on ya

There is a secret place, it's deep inside my pocket (deep inside)
Never try tellin' me who fits inside my pocket (deep inside)

I know what I have to find
And I gotta whole lot of time
Before I really reach my prize

Gotta desire to mess around
It'd be cool just to fool around
Maybe we'll mess together

There is a secret place, it's deep inside my pocket (deep inside)
Never try tellin' me who fits inside my pocket (deep inside)

There's a secret place, it's deep, deep inside my pocket (deep inside)
Don't you ever try tellin' me who fits inside my pocket (deep inside)

I've got a secret place, it's deep inside my pocket (deep inside)
Never try tellin' me who fits inside my pocket (deep inside)

Ride - Polar Bear

She knew she was able to fly,
Because when she came down,
She had dust on her hands from the sky,
She said I touched her brow
She felt so high, the dust made her cry.

She knew she could fly like a bird,
But when she said, "please raise the roof higher" nobody heard,
They never noticed a word,
The lightbulbs burn, her fingers will learn.

Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah... Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah...

Why should it feel like a crime?
If I want to be with you all the time.
Why is it measured in hours?
You should make your own time, you're welcome in mine

She knew she was able to fly,
Because when she came down,
She had dust on her hands from the sky,
She said I touched a cloud
Her fingers will learn, the lightbulbs burn

Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah...

Remembrance (Ride - OX4)

Never been so far away
I don't think I want to stay in this room
Anymore

If I crawl across the floor
Then I'd be closer to that door
It's too far

Never been so far away
Just lost the last thought in my head
What happens now?

Some fantasy you've been
Pick up the pieces in my mind
I'm going home
