  • Extreme ways are back again
    Extreme places I didn't know
    I broke everything new again
    Everything that I'd owned
    I threw it out the windows, came along
    Extreme ways I know move apart The colors of my sea
    Perfect color me

    Extreme ways that help me
    That help me out late at night
    Extreme places I had gone
    But never seen any light
    Dirty basements, dirty noise
    Dirty places coming through
    Extreme worlds alone
    Did you ever like it then

    I would stand in line for this
    There's always room in life for this

    Oh baby, oh baby
    Then it fell apart, it fell apart
    Oh baby, oh baby
    Then it fell apart, it fell apart

    Extreme songs that told me
    They helped me down every night
    I didn't have much to say
    I didn't get above the light
    I closed my eyes and closed myself
    And closed my world and never opened
    Up to anything
    That could get me along

    I had to close down everything
    I had to close down my mind
    Too many things to cover me
    Too much can make me blind
    I've seen so much in so many places
    So many heartaches, so many faces
    So many dirty things
    You couldn't even believe

    I would stand in line for this
    It's always good in life for this

    Oh baby, oh baby
    Then it fell apart, it fell apart
    All day, all day
    Then it fell apart, it fell apart
    (Falling apart)
    It's a Monday morning, it's everywhere
    Oh no I can't

    All day, all day
    Then it fell apart, it fell apart
    All day, all day
    Then it fell apart, it fell apart
    All day, all day
    Then it fell apart, it fell apart
    All day, all day
    Like it always does, always does Writer/s: Richard Melville Hall

  • Christine from PittsburghI experienced great difficulty when trying to purchase " Extreme Ways" in the iTunes Store. Nevertheless, I persisted and would check again every so often ~ no luck, here's why:
    The soundtrack for the Bourne Identity … Extreme Ways is not on it. The Bourne Supremacy … only the last track Extreme Ways is " album only". The Bourne Ultimatum … all tracks are album only. I don't remember how I found Moby, but I did and finally was able to purchase the song.
    My favorite part of the song is toward the end ~ the classical music instruments are so intense!
