So close no matter how far 
couldn't be much more from the heart 
forever trusting who we are 
and nothing else matters 

never opened myself this way 
life is ours, we live it our way 
all these words I don't just say 
and nothing else matters 

trust I seek and I find in you 
every day for us something new 
open mind for a different view 
and nothing else matters 

    never cared for what they do 
    never cared for what they know 
    but I know 

so close no matter how far 
couldn't be much more from the heart 
forever trusting who we are 
and nothing else matters 

    never cared for what they do 
    never cared for what they know 
    but I know 

never opened myself this way 
life is ours, we live it our way 
all these words I don't just say 

trust I seek and I find in you 
every day for us something new 
open mind for a different view 
and nothing else matters 

    never cared for what they say 
    never cared for games they play 
    never cared for what they do 
    never cared for what they know 
    and I know 

so close no matter how far 
couldn't be much more from the heart 
forever trusting who we are 
no nothing else matters

New blood joins this earth 
and quikly he's subdued 
through constant pain disgrace 
the young boy learns their rules 

with time the child draws in 
this whipping boy done wrong 
deprived of all his thoughts 
the young man struggles on and on he's known 
a vow unto his own 
that never from this day 
his will they'll take away 

    what I've felt 
    what I've known 
    never shined through in what I've shown 
    never be 
    never see 
    won't see what might have been 

    what I've felt 
    what I've known 
    never shined through in what I've shown 
    never free 
    never me 
    so I dub thee unforgiven 

they dedicate their lives 
to running all of his 
he tries to please them all 
this bitter man he is 
throughout his life the same 
he's battled constantly 
this fight he cannot win 
a tired man they see no longer cares 
the old man then prepares 
to die regretfully 
that old man here is me 

    what I've felt 
    what I've known 
    never shined through in what I've shown 
    never be 
    never see 
    won't see what might have been 

    what I've felt 
    what I've known 
    never shined through in what I've shown
    never free
    never me
    so I dub the unforgiven

    you labeled me
    I'll label you
    so I dub the unforgiven

Lay beside me, tell me what they've done
Speak the words I wanna hear, to make my demons run
The door is locked now, but it's open if you're true
If you can understand the me, than I can understand the you

Lay beside me, under wicked sky
The black of day, dark of night, we share this paralyze
The door cracks open, but there's no sun shining through
Black hearts scarring darkness still, but there's no sun shining through
No, there's no sun shining through
No, there's no sun shining

What I've felt, what I've known
Turn the pages, turn the stone
Behind the door, should I open it for you

Yeah
What I've felt, what I've known
Sick and tired, I stand alone
Could you be there, 'cause I'm the one who waits for you
Or are you unforgiven too?

Lay beside me, this won't hurt, I swear
She loves me not, she loves me still, but she'll never love again
She lay beside me, but she'll be there when I'm gone
Black hearts scarring darker steel, yes, she'll be there when I'm gone
Yes, she'll be there when I'm gone

Dead sure she'll be there

What I've felt, what I've known
Turn the pages, turn the stone
Behind the door, should I open it for you

Yeah
What I've felt, what I've known
Sick and tired, I stand alone
Could you be there, 'cause I'm the one who waits for you
Or are you unforgiven too?

Lay beside me, tell me what I've done
The door is closed, so are your eyes
But now I see the sun, now I see the sun
Yes, now I see it

What I've felt, what I've known
Turn the pages, turn the stone
Behind the door, should I open it for you

Yeah
What I've felt, wha I've known
So sick and tired, I stand alone
Could you be there, 'cause I'm the one who waits
The one who waits for you

Oh, what I've felt, what I've known
Turn the pages, turn the stone
Behind the door, should I open it for you
So I dub thee unforgiven

Oh, what I've felt
Oh, what I've known

I take this key
And I bury it in you
Because you're unforgiven too

Never free
Never me
'cause you're unforgiven too
Oh

Fortune, fame
Mirror vain
Gone insane
But the memory remains

Heavy rings on fingers wave
Another star denies the grave
See the nowhere crowd
Cry the nowhere cheers of honor

Like twisted vines that grow
Hide and swallow mansions whole
In light of an already
Faded prima donna

Fortune, fame
Mirror vain
Gone insane
Fortune, fame
Mirror vain
Gone insane
But the memory remains

Heavy rings hold cigarettes
Up to lips that time forgets
While the Hollywood sun sets
Behind your back

And can't the band play on
Just listen, they play my song
Ash to ash
Dust to dust
Fade to black

Fortune, fame
Mirror vain
Gone insane
Fortune, fame
Mirror vain
Gone insane
Dance little tin goddess

(Marianne Faithfull does some nanana)

Drift away
Fade away
Little tin goddess

Ash to ash
Dust to dust
Fade to black

Fortune, fame
Mirror vain
Gone insane
Fortune, fame
Mirror vain
Gone insane
But the memory remains

Ash to ash
Dust to dust
Fade to black
But the memory remains
Yeah
Faded prima donna
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Dance little tin goddess dance

(Marianne Faithfull does some nanana)

Wish I may
Wish I might
Have this I wish tonight
Are you satisfied?
Dig for gold
Dig for fame
You dig to make your name
Are you pacified?

All the wants you waste
All the things you've chased
Then it all crashes down
And you break your crown
And you point your finger, but there's no one around
Just want one thing
Just to play the King
But the castle's crumbled and you're left with just a name
Where's your crown, King Nothing?
Where's your crown?

Hot and cold
Bought and sold
A heart as hard as gold
Yeah! Are you satisfied?
Wish I might, Wish I may
You wish your life away
Are you pacified?

All the wants you waste
All the things you've chased
Then it all crashes down
And you break your crown
And you point your finger, but there's no one around
Just want one thing
Just to play the King
But the castle's crumbled and you're left with just a name
Where's your crown, King Nothing?
Where's your crown?

Huh!

(Spoken)
Wish I may, wish I might
Have this wish, I wish tonight
I want that star, I want it now
I want it all and I don't care how

Careful what you wish
Careful what you say
Careful what you wish you may regret it
Careful what you wish you just may get it

Then it all crashes down
And you break your crown
And you point your finger, but there's no one around
Just want one thing
Just to play the King
But the castle's crumbled and you're left with just a name
Where's your crown, King Nothing?
Where's your crown?

Oh, You're just nothing
Where's your crown King Nothing?
Oh, you're just nothing
Absolutely nothing
Off to never, never land
