notoriety

You say I never pay attention
What makes you think I look the other way?
You let me be the judge
I don't believe what they say

Your name came up in conversation yesterday
My best bet was to feign indifference
You've got an awful reputation by the way
The table made a joke at your expense
Didn't believe a word
I don't believe what they say
It smacked of jealousy
I know it's only notoriety

My reputation might precede me baby
Forget the rumours and the hearsay
You think I never pay attention to you
I guess you think I look the other way
I don't care what you've heard
Why d'you believe what they say?
I'll come to your defense
You know it's only notoriety

To hell with our outrageous fortune baby
We've got a sea of troubles in our sights
We don't need recklessness or caution
To catch the gossip-mongers dead to rights
Let them all speculate
They ain't got a clue anyway
Just use your common sense
You know it's only notoriety

Hear no evil and speak no evil
See no evil lest it come your way

Power trippin'

Don't wanna push you around
You know I think that you're boss
Let's work out some middle ground
Say heads or tails and then toss

Power trippin' - taking turns
The things you want to teach you need to learn
Power trippin' - it's your go
I'll share the drive-in with you - quid pro quo
You know which buttons to push

I like being under your thumb
Better to squeeze than to crush
I love it when you succumb
Power trippin' - switching roles

I know you like it when I lose control
Power trippin' - swapping sides
Let's just relax, kick back enjoy the ride

Long as we're set up in the partnership
We take our turns being on a power trip
Don't care which one of us is running the show
Long as it's R&B and rock&roll

I know you're such a power house
No need for such a display
I can't visit your dog house
It's too far out of my way

Power trippin' - takin' turns
The things you want to teach you need to learn
Power trippin' - it's your go
I'll share the drive-in with you - quid pro quo

You call the shots and I'll call the tune
I'll crack the whip and you rule the room
I'll wear the pants and you pull the strings
Don't waste your energy on foolish things

The ace I'm holding is meant for you
I couldn't pull a power trip on you
As long as one of us is in control
Turn up the power and let's rock and roll

scared

You never said you'd love me like you do
You said you'd never hurt me like you do
You can't seem to decide
If you're in love with me

Scared

You say you're losing your identity
You say you've sacrificed your freedom to me
You won't commit to me
'Til I submit to you

Scared

You're not the only one who feels confused
Sooner or later you will have to choose
I can't make up my mind
Where I will draw the line

Scared

She loves you - she loves you not
She's only scared
Forget me - forget me not
You're only scared

She can rock it

She got goose-egg power-chords
And a nasty 2 & 4, she can rock it
She can tap in 32
She can show you her tattoo - she can rock it

What good's a rock without a roll?
It's a sorry lookin' donut if it doesn't have a hole
She gets so hot, she's infra-red
She can show you a position that's prohibited

She's got kisses like cocaine
She's got access to a plane - she can rock it
Check out her anatomy
In her trashy lingerie - she can rock it

She's got an axe, she's got a rig
You know she'll never miss a beat-
And she ain't never missed a gig
She'll pin you down, she'll knock you out
She can wrestle with your ego
'Til your pride goes out

She can rock it

She's a shake that comes with fries
Never listens to your lies - she can rock it
She can set your pants on fire
She can strip you to the wire - she can rock it

She can nail you to a frame
Say that you're the one to blame - she can rock it
She can tell you what to wear
She can strip your conscience bare
She can rock it

shut up

Get 'em off me, get 'em off me

Get their hands and their legs from above me
When you want it and you need it
But you can't seem to quite understand it

Get 'em off me, get 'em off me

Take their legs and their elbows from around me
Schizophrenia don't mean that you're living -
In the world not a dream

I said shut up, you're not incurably ill
You got the motivation, you got the pill
Don't mess it up, I go down on my knees
Don't blow it big time babe, I'm begging you please

I said shut up

I said shut up
What you complaining about?
You got the tonic money, you got the truth

Don't mess it up
Let's stick together on this
We got everything and more, so baby -
Why should we quit?

I said shut up

still in your heart

The night you met, it was a magic start
All the connections were made in your heart
Following you everywhere, you could feel her eyes -
A glimpse of somebody, takes you by surprise

Another place and day, now where's she gone?
You can't forget her face, or things you left undone
Re-run memories from the start -
The time has flown
All the time you've been appart
And she's still in your heart

Try as you might the recollections stay
Like a photographic memory of each day
You can feel her by your side in an empty room -
And words like 'forever', you spoke too soon

Another place and day, now where's she gone?
You can't forget her face, or things you wish you'd done
Re-run memories from the start -
The time has flown
Where's end ending and the start?
Is she still in your heart?

Taxman

Let me tell you how it will be
There's one for you, nineteen for me
'Cos I'm the taxman - yeah, I'm the taxman

Should five percent appear too small
Be thankful I don't take it all
'Cos I'm the taxman - yeah, I'm the taxman

If you drive a car I'll tax the street
If you try to sit I'll tax your seat
If you get too cold I'll tax the heat
If you take a walk I'll tax your feet

(Taxman)

'Cos I'm the taxman - yeah, I'm the taxman

Don't ask me what I want it for
(Taxman Mr. Clinton)
If you don't want to pay some more
(Taxman VAT)
'Cos I'm the taxman - yeah, I'm the taxman
And my advice for those who die
(Taxman)
Declare those pennies on your eyes
(Taxman)
'Cos I'm the taxman - yeah, I'm the taxman
And you're working for no one but me
(Taxman)

Some like it hot

We want to multiply, are you gonna do it?
I know you qualify, are you gonna do it?
Don't be so circumscribe, are you gonna do it?
Just get yourself untied, are you gonna do it?

Feel the heat, pushing you to decide
Feel the heat, burning you up, ready or not

Some like it hot and some sweat when the heat is on
Some feel the heat and decide that they can't go on
Some like it hot, but you can't tell how hot 'til you try
Some like it hot, so lets turn up the heat 'til we fry

The girl is at your side, are you gonna do?
She wants to be your bride, are you gonna do it?
She wants to multiply, are you gonna do it?
I know you won't be satisfied, until you do it!

Feel the heat, pushing you to decide
Feel the heat, burning you up, ready or not

Some like it hot and some sweat when the heat is on
Some feel the heat and decide that they can't go on
Some like it hot, but you can't tell how hot 'til you try
Some like it hot, so lets turn up the heat 'til we fry

Feel the heat, pushing you to decide
Feel the heat, burning you up, ready or not

Some like it hot and some sweat when the heat is on
Some feel the heat and decide that they can't go on
Some like it hot, but you can't tell how hot 'til you try
Some like it hot, so lets turn up the heat 'til we fry

Some like it hot.. some like it hot
Some like it hot.. some like it hot
Some like it hot... some like it hot
Some like it hot... some like it hot!

say the word

There's a skill, it's nothing we could learn at school
With a will to survive beneath this rule
Money thrives as corruptions president
Waste the life of the yong and innocent
But after all and the resistant can be disobeyed
So, when we call, please don't think twice or be afraid
Hey, mister, say something

Say the word - if your eyes are open (this time we try)
Say the word - before this love is broken

(say the word)


The lights are down, but you don't sleep so tight
The words around that we play for keeps tonight
As we all know even the best made plans go wrong sometimes
But if it blows well be the ones they victimize
Hey, mister, say something

ha

The Flame

I could feel the breeze blowing chance
Blowing through my doorway
Warm and restless just as you walked by
Inside of smoky halls a circle drawn
And voices call
To raise some magic wind in my world
Strange coincidence each time you look my way
This sinking feeling scares me
Know my weakness call it dejavu
Never puy my trust in fate suprises do arrive so late
Why should I be suprised by you
Straight to the heart straight for this precious shining
How do you dare step into my flame
One from the heart, one for this precious shining
How can you steel my flame
Sometimes cards are drawn and the tables turn
The waiting game is over
Take this dealers hand and steal away the dawn
Don't give me any chance to wander back from this innocence
Don't give me any chances at all

missing

And as I wander down to where you lay
The blood rushed up to meet the roses
In your hair
I thought I saw you smile
But now I don't see you anywhere
Whispering your love song in my ear
How can you touch me
When you're not really there?

Stumbling out I made my way towards the open door
Climbing fast the sun broad streaming
Laughter down into your empty gaze
Where can I find out
How I want to join in your games
I hear you calling
I hear you ... calling calling calling calling
Whispering your love song in my ear
How can you touch me?
How do you really dare?

goodbye is forever

Sometimes you have no choice
Sometimes you've got no voice to say
Say if you will the words--
Say if your world is so gray
We can decide this
There'll be no tears--
No tradgedy
Sure I wouldn't break and cry, if...
You walk away--
Believe me

Hey, goodbye
Goodbye is--forever
Hey, forever
Goodbye is--forever
And ever...

Sometimes it makes no sense,
This side of cruel coincidence
Caught up in our own barbed wire
To set us free
Belive this--

Hey, goodbye
Goodbye is--forever
Hey, forever
Goodbye is--forever
And ever...

The Promise

Whose tears on a gaping voice
Who's stretching arms match
The hunger of mine
There lips will they never join
But always draw me closer
And further entwined
With a promise dealer understand
All freedoms fade away
To a point of view
Where many different pathways meet
And we're standing on this precipice
With nothing much to gain save
But the deep blue screams
Of falling dreams
With our next move
Heaven hide your eyes
Heaven's eyes will never dry
The shades of a thousand steel
Come flashing by my face
In the fury of war
In desolation and abandoned fields
The hungry make their stand
When they'll stand for no more
Hear the passion in their voices
See the heaven in their eyes
Their hopes and schemes are waiting
Dreams of less than paradise
And sometimes we make promises
We never mean to keep
For blackmail is the only deal
A promise dealer sees
Heaven hide your eyes
Heaven's eyes will never dry

Lady Ice

- rose arcana (instrumental)
- lady ice


Lady Ice slips into her soul
Lady Ice leaves a house so cold
Lady Ice did you know
That the world was lonely too
Drifting snows
Searching plains and high
TUrning stones as she looks
For the heart somebody stole

She knows the violation
In lovers arms without occasion
But who knows where to find
A true heart for Lady Ice
Mesmerised
In the candle flame
Compromised by the cruel bands
Of steel around her breasts

She knows the desolation
Of lover's arms their isolation
But who knows where to find
A true heart for Lady Ice
Lady's eyes slip away
To the part she plays in school
She knows of roles and hideaways
Suppose she knows but turns away
SHe knows where to find
A true heart for Lady Ice

Lady Ice
Step outside your soul
lady Ice do you know
That the world is frightened too

Keep Me In The Dark

When the evening sunlight's fingers
Stretch across the floor
Cover up your eyes with feathers
Softly close the door
Take me in your heavy lips
Take me where the shadows slide
i need your blind for secret
honeys pass and blues
The lacey intrigue of this weekend
Should not be abused
You can take me where you want
But could you take me all the time
Away yeah oh wait a little longer
Don't go too far
I wouldn't lie
I wouldn't like you
Keeping me in the dark

Tender is the truce I'm tasting
But watching you dictates
Heady nights of sleepless wasting
A face I can't escape
We could wave the world goodbye
To all of the boys cheerio
Away yeah oh wait a little longer
Don't go too far
I wouldn't lie
I wouldn't like you
Keeping me in the dark

Help me cause I'm sinking deeper
Tell me what to say
When without words you call me closer
Each time you turn away
Something inside you cries
But it is something I'll never find
Away yeah oh wait a little longer
Don't go too far
I wouldn't lie
I wouldn't like to think you were
Keeping me in the dark

Election Day

Wild kind of look to the day
opening eyes impale neon flickers.
She moon
she turning away
the city's her slave.
He's cheating his mistress.
She's moody and grey
She's mean and she's restless - so restless.
All over you as they say
Rumours or rivals yell at the strike force.
Hi guys
by the way
Are you aware you're being illegal?
It's making your saviour
Behaviour look evil.
Maximum big surprise
Your smile is somethiI@g I@ew.
I pull my shirt off and pray
We're sacred and bound
To suffer the heatwave.
Pull my shirt off and pray
We're coming up on re-election day.
Stretching my luck down the way
to your invlLanon stretchlng my body
Use your intuitive play
'cause maybe we have more playtime than money.
Maximum big surprise
she knows something new.
I pull my shirt off and pray
I'm saving myself to suffer the heatwave.
Pull my shirt off and pray
we're coming up on re-election day.
By roads and backways a lover's chance down wind
Cut open murmurs and sounds becalm hands on skin
Saving some time to slip away we could dance!
Shouldn't be asking wild and scheming
could be my election day.
Maximum big surprise
you know something new. . . .
Re-election day !

El Diablo

Enter newborn players and gather
Weight their innocence
Only the brightest shine
But not forever
Many lights die
Many tears rain
When those tears run dry
On a mountain madness day
You were just in time
For a foolish deal for love I sold
Can't stand another howling day
Inside this empty skin
While the beacons burn
I'll say
Await return
From so far away
One life with the devil do I play
For so long
El diablo is to blame

Oh...
Oh el diablo, el diablo
Won't you sell me back my soul
Oh el diablo, el diablo
Won't you sell me back my soul

Wedding is on the wind
Does she blow my way
She can dance and she can sing
She will tear your heart away
While the promise burns
I'll stay
And you will return
From so far away
One life within the devil do I play
It's been for so long
El diablo is to blame
One life but the devil is in my way

Oh...
Oh el diablo, el diablo
Won't you sell me back my soul
Oh el diablo, el diablo
Won't you sell me back my soul

Zoom In

Stood on the line
You understand
I've been waiting forever
Come rain come shine
In the wind in the snow
In the filty weather
You've got it all worked out
Ya but it knocks you out
But I'm zooming in

Now she arrives
In a flaming crash
Like a falling star
Heading straight for the dive
Gonna make some cash
With the avatar

You got it all worked out
I know you know
I don't want you to go
Ya but it knocks you out
I'm zooming in on you on you

Don't look back you're a heart attack [x4]
You've got it all worked out
Ya but it knocks you out

We're not alone
In the 2nd life
There are millions like us
Right here
In the stones
In the air too bright
All the new insiders

You've got it all worked out
I know you know
I don't want you to go
Ya but it knocks you out
I'm zooming in on you on you

Na na na na na na
I know you know
I don't want you to go
Na na na na na na
I'm zooming in and out on you

Who Do You Think You Are

I'm giving you the news your domination's through
You gave the best you've got now I'm out on top
If you're in any doubt listen to me I've gotta right to say
If you know what it's all about who do you think you are
Don't wanna be your enemy if I'm not the one you want me to be
And I've gotta do things the way that I do
Always trying to control who do you think you are
Our time on earth is running through (It's not a question of my pride)
Sometimes I bring it again to you (Ever wonder how I feel inside)
And sometimes I play along but man I've gotta mind
You've gotta live with yourself for the rest of your life
Do you understand everybody asks that type of question who do you think you are
Why do you feel ashamed when you can't explain there are things I say to other people
It's just occurred to me the possibility the thought that you might really want to be me

White Lines

Free rock, free rock, free rock, free rock
Ah, ah, ah, ah
White ooo white, white ooo white, white ooo white, white ooo
(White lines) Vision dreams of passion (blowing through my mind) and all the while I think of you
(High fry) A very strange reaction (burns to unwind) the more I see the more I do
Something of phenomenon turn your back to come along cause white lines blow away
Blow, rock, blow
Ticket to ride the white line highway tell all your friends hey go my way
Pay your toll sell your soul pound for pound it costs more than gold
The longer you stay the more you pay my white lines go a long way
Either up your nose or through your veins with nothing to gain except killing your brain

Free (say rock come on ya'all) rock (say freeze come on)
Free (say rock come on ya'all) rock (say freeze come on)
Free (say rock come on ya'all) rock (say freeze come on)
Free (say rock come on ya'all) rock
Ah (higher baby), ah (get higher baby), ah (get higher baby) Ah (and don't never come down) freebase
White lines (pure as the driven snow) connected to my mind
(And now I'm having fun baby) high fry (it's getting kinda low)
Cause it makes you feel so nice (I need some one on one baby)
Don't let it blow your mind away (baby) go on to your little hideaway
Cause white lines (what do white lines do) blow away
Blow, rock, blow
A million magic crystals painted pure and white
A multi-million dollars almost overnight
Twice as sweet a sugar twice as pure as salt and if you get hooked baby
It's nobody elses fault so don't do it

Free (say rock come on ya'all) rock (say freeze come on)
Free (say rock come on ya'all) rock (say freeze come on)
Free (say rock come on ya'all) rock (say freeze come on)
Free (say rock come on ya'all) rock
Put 'em up, put 'em up, put 'em up, put 'em up
Ah (higher baby), ah (get higher baby), ah (get higher baby)
Ah (and don't never come down) freebase

Don't you get too high (don't you get too high baby)
Turns you on (you really turn me on and on)
Could you ever come down (my temperature is rising)
When the thrill is gone (no I don't want you to go)
A streetkid gets arrested gonna do some time
He got out three years from now just to commit more crime
A businessman is caught with 24 kilos
He's out on bail and out of jail and that's the way it goes
Rock cake sugar sugar cake cake sugar sugar cake
Atheletes rejected govenors corrected gangsters thugs and smugglers
Are thoroughly respected the money gets divided the women get excited
Now I'm broke and it's no joke it's hard as hell to fight it don't buy it

Free (say rock come on ya'all) rock (say freeze come on)
Free (say rock come on ya'all) rock (say freeze come on)

Ah, ah, ah, ah

What Happens Tomorrow

Child, don't you worry
It's enough your growing up in such a hurry
Brings you down, the news they sell ya
To put in your mind that all mankind is a failure

But nobody knows
What's gonna happen tomorrow
We try not to show
How frightened we are

If you love me, I'll protect you
However I can
You've got to believe
It'll be alright in the end

Fighting because we're so close
There are times we punish those who we need the most
Though we can't wait for a saviour
Only got ourselves to blame for this behaviour

And nobody knows
What's gonna happen tomorrow
We try not to show
How frightened we are

Would seem lonely
If you were the only
star in the night?

You've got to believe
It'll be alright in the end
You've got to believe
It'll be alright again

Time is a ribbon, a silent icy river (froze us all)
Running deep, deep and fast
Enough to get lost down in the flow
Crashing around
These tiny lives mean everything

And nobody knows
What's gonna happen tomorrow
So don't let go
Now we've come this far

Hold my hand please
Understand me
You're never alone

We've got to believe
It'll be alright in the end
(Nobody knows)
You've got to believe
It'll be alright my friend
Da, da, da, da

And yes we believe
It'll be alright again
(Nobody knows)

We Need You

Time will see we're not searching for a wild excuse
To put emotions back on hold
Too much has gone down we know what you're doing
But do you feel the same way
You look sharp inside your pointed shoes
I have this picture hanging in my room
And I refuse to take you down or shake you down
We could bring you gently round if that's what you choose
For a point of view coz words like sand just get blown away
All those things we'd like to say

We need you [Repeat ad lib and end]

Watching The Detectives

Nice girls not one with the defects cellophane shrink wrapped so correct
Red dogs under illegal legs she looks so good that he gets down and begs

She's watching the detectives oh he's so cute she's watching the detectives
Oh and they shoot

They beat him up until the tear drops start but he can't be wounded cause he's got no heart
Long shot of that jumping sign invisible shivers running Cut the baby taking off her clothes close up of the sign that says we never close
You snatch a tune you match a cigarette she pulls the eyes out with a face like a magnet
I don't know how much more of this I can take
She's filing her nails while they're dragging the lake

She's watching the detectives oh he's so cute
She's watching the detectives and they shoot
She's watching the detectives oh he's so cute
She's watching the detectives oh as they shoot, shoot, shoot

They beat him up until the teardrops start but he can't be wounded cause he's got no heart
You think you're alone until you realize you're in it
Our fear is here to stay love is here for a visit
They call it instant justice when it's past the legal limit
There's someone scratching at the window I wonder who is it
The detectives come and check if you belong to the parents
Who are ready to hear the worst about their daughters disappearance
Though it nearly took a miracle to get you to stay
It only took my little fingers to blow you away
She's, she's watching oh she's watching oh
She's watching the detectives oh and they shoot
She's watching the detectives oh and they shoot
she's watching the detectives oh as they shoot, shoot, shoot

Want You More!

You had plans all along
Musta seen me coming down a mile reove the ground
Coz I am weak where you are strong
It's a thrill that makes me curious
Whatever I'm thinking of
You always seem to know
Coz nothing is good enough
There's always something to keep me guessing
What if it's real, what if you're just faking?
What if you knew you could?
What if you get off on manipulating?
Why does it feel so good?
Drivin' the car turn up the sound
Gets yer head in a hailstorm, man I'm gonna feel the blast
I pick you up - you throw me down
And it only gets more serious
What could you be thinking of?
You never let it show
Coz you give me just enough
There's always something
You keep it coming
What if it's real,what if your just faking?
What if you knew you could?
What if you get off on manipulating?
Why does it feel so good?
Why do I want you more? Why do I want you? Why do I feel so torn?
Why do I want you more? Why do I want you?
Why do I want you more?
What could you be thing of?
You never let it show
Coz you give me just enough
There's always something, you keep me coming
Just keep it coming
What if it's real, what if you're just faking?
What if you knew you could?
What if you get off on manipluating?
Why does it feel so good?
Why do I want you more? Why do I want you?
Why do I want you more?
Why do I want you more? Why do I want you? Why do I want you more?
Why do I want you more? Why do I want you? Why do I want you more?
Why do I want you more? Why do I want you? Why do I want you more?

Undergoing Treatment

We are undergoing treatment
Watching others in the news
Studying our worst reviews
They say we'll get over it
Disappear like dinosaurs
To the sound of small applause
Resign to the mid-price section

If you see me walking in the garden
Don't ever ask me for an autograph
If you ever catch me in the arcade
Don't even stop me for a photograph

We are undergoing treatment
'Til our ethic fits the scene
Laid out in Q Magazine
They crave our conformity
Mediocre to the bone
Terrified testosterone
But why do we still face the music?

If you see me walking in the garden
Don't ever ask me...

Now and then you get the strangest notion
That there's something missing
But it keeps you guessing
Wild ambition can you really blame us?
Can you entertain us?
Can you give a little more?

If you see me walking in the garden
Don't ever ask me for an autograph
If you ever catch me in the arcade
Don't even stop me for a photograph

We are undergoing treatment
But will the doctors ever cure
These delusions of grandeur?

U M F

Going to the top here we stand in the shadow of the master plan
Making trouble wherever we can stir it up, stir it up, stir it up
Can't you see this boy is going cheap knocked down to a basement deal
But I really won't stop till I get to the top take it from me
I'm waiting here on my knees and i love the way you tease me ow such a beautiful person
Don't play rough easy when you know your stuff say please and sure enough
So kind I'm making love to the ultimate mind, the ultimate mind, the ultimate mind

Come on take a look put it to me baby you could feel love come tumbling down
I just wanna wrap myself in you baby we can tell the world we're fooling around

Ultimately I sense you toying with me it's a case of wait and see
But right now I'm gonna keep my pants on
A to Zed she's doing it to my head we don't need to go to bed
You'll find to make love to the ultimate mind

Put it to me baby you could feel love gonna wrap myself in you baby we could tell the world
Talk me round let's do it right hear and now I don't want you cooling down
Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up, turn it up
We can fit reality's two way split personality life's a bitch but I'm fine
Making love to the ultimate mind heaven's bent completely innocent
We all gotta pay the rent and in time we'll learn to compromise
Talking tall but I feel invisible can you see me after all that I said there's only one thing for it

Too Much Information

Destroyed by MTV I hate to bite the hand that feeds me so much information
The pressure's on the screen to sell you things that you don't need
It's too much information for me
Hey TV child look into my eyes here by intervention I want your attention
Promotion boy in a suit and tie he wants you to use it you're too shot to lose it
It's pumping down the cable like never so before
A cola manufacturer is sponsoring the war here comes the news with with love from me to you

Destroyed by ABC I hate to bite the hand that feeds me so much information
The pressure's on the screen to sell you things that you don't need
It's too much information for me
Turn on the tube hits you with a groove advertising music we want you to choose it
These teeth are white trainers ultra-bright this band is perfect just don't scratch the surface
We've covered all the angles the survey people say
Just put us on the cover we'd be smiling anyway this video was made with love for you

Destroyed by BBC I hate to bite the hand that feeds me so much information
The pressure's on the screen to sell you things that you don't need it's too much information
Destroyed by MTV I hate to bite the hand that feeds me so much information
The pressure's on the screen to sell you things that you don't need
It's too much information for me

Dialate your mind (repeat) Gotta give it to me gotta listen to me gotta give in to me now I'm on the line
Gotta give it to me gotta listen to me gotta give in to me now I'm in your mind
I try (information) yes I try (too much information)
Why should I try (information) cause I try (too much information)
Gotta give it to me gotta listen to me gotta give it too me

Too Late Marlene

Waking out of nowhere
And I let you in
Til my imagination went for a spin
I seen you every night
Been making out since then
And still I wonder why everybody's saying
That ice is thin.

And I think I know you
Just a little bit by nowA
And I think I can show you
You see baby, I don't want to fight about it

Send down your rain
Then who's to blame
And you'll understand
Because its' much too late to change

Awaken to this hunger
And then watch my heat
Grow paler than the moonlight
That you made me eat
And if we run our lives
Along a one way street
We'll always wonder why everytime
It still tastes just as sweet

Send down your rain
Then who's to blame
You'll understand
Because it's much too late to change
I will explain
We're to much the same
No I won't leave
Because it's just too late Marlene

To Whom It May Concern

Telephone call for Mr. Bones
Dear Mr. Bones we've had enough and you can try to pull us down
With your pinstrip weasel stuff but word travels in this town
I wouldn't write home about you we're better off without you without you Mr. Bones

Some people feed on other people's trouble some people beat on other people's meat
Some people want to bleed us dry and some people wanna drown on your feet people

He said boys I'll get you more but you gotta pay me by the hour
Anyway you're just another bore who believes he's a superpower
(I wouldn't write home about you)
And you can talk about loyalty but I hope you realize
(We're better off without you, without you)
Since you ate my royalties without you, without you Mr. Bones
This good-bye and as such here and after shall be referred
Notwithstanding or foregoing statements unpreferred
Don't claim you understand when you've not heard a single word a dickey bird

Some people feed on other people's trouble some people beat on other people's meat
Some people wanna bleed us dry and some people gonna drown on your feet
Some people

To The Shore

Oh when your nine day feed is up and you've drained your loving cup
Come stands reeling to the shore oh when the brave are coming out
The dry fight and the dusty shout see you crawling on the floor
And diamond stars shining glitter bright gorging your sanhedralites
Words are falling to the floor glad stand pouring fruit trees
And now they glisten on the waterline sing home you are at the shore
I'm moving crissie pretty flowers in the shuttermaze
Haul up all your petty desires leave them lying down they fall
Wash away the rusty disease of your brown town days in our silver sea
Leave it dying at the door feather yellow your time to leave
Open out your arms and breathe
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh to the shore now
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh to the shore now come on

The Valley

These are days of hit and run
In the stream with everyone
Is a moment of our lives

On a wandering river
Going on together
Many journeys to arrive

I've been walking
Through the valley
Through the tall grass
And the shadows
And I feel it
I can see it
Yes I need it
I believe it

Through the city
And the towers
Turning minutes
Into hours
And I feel it
I can see it
Yes I need it
I believe it

When I think I'm being strong
And I lose direction
then a life starts looking mischievous
Finding revelation
Out of desperation
Always stretching time
But it's never long enough

You think you're happy
Think you're free
But maybe we're just
Comfortably dizzy

I've been running
Through the valley
Through the tall grass
And the shadows
And I feel it
I can see it
Yes I need it
I believe it

Through the city
And the towers
Turning minutes
Into hours
And I feel it
I can see it
Yes I need it
I believe it

I've been running
Through the valley
Through the tall grass
Through the shadows
And I feel it
I can see it
Yes I need it
I believe it

Through the city
And the towers
Turning minutes
Into hours
And I feel it
I can see it
Yes I need it
I believe it

The Sun Doesn't Shine Forever

At the end of the rainbow
Found each other there
Strange, we never thought the colours would fade
Be easy to walk
But it's much harder to stay
Why, oh why, are we reckless today?

You and I
Got to hold on together
Because in this life
Maybe the sun doesn't shine forever

Could say that I'm sorry
But there's no one to blame
Anger seems to dissolve into tears
Been so many good times
Not only despair
Somehow we'll find the love we can share

You and I
Got to hold on together
Because in this life
Maybe the sun doesn't shine forever

You and I
Make this life for each other
Because I believe
We've got enough for when the sun doesn't shine
You and I
Got to hold on together
Because in this life
Maybe the sun doesn't shine forever

The Seventh Stranger

Those words are all remainders echos growing in the heart of twilight
They lay back laughing at naievity's star
Awakened all those whispers the dusty shadow of a passing favor
I wouldn't say that you were ruthless or right I couldn't see from so far
Was I chasing after rainbows one thing for sure you never answered when I called
And I wiped away the water from my face to look through the eyes of a stranger
For rumors in the wake of such a lonely crowd
Trading in my shelter for danger I'm changing my name just as the sun goes down
In the eyes of the stranger

Can't tell the real from reflection when all these faces look the same to me
In every city such a desolate dream
Some days are strange to number some say the seventh sounds a little bit stranger
A year of Sunday's seems to have drifted right by
I could've sworn in one evening and I'm not seized in desperation
No steel reproaches on the table from before
But I still can feel those splinters of ice
I look through the eyes of a stranger
For rumors in the wake of such a lonely crowd trading in my shelter for danger
I'm changing my name just as the sun goes down in the eyes of the stranger

I must be chasing after rainbows
One thing for sure you never answer when I call
And I wipe away the water from my face to look through the eyes of a stranger
For rumors in the wake of such a lonely crowd trading in my shelter for danger
I'm changing my name just as the sun goes down
Walking away like a stranger
From rumors in the wake of such a lonely crowd trading in my shelter for danger
I'm changing my name just as the sun goes down in the eyes of the stranger
In the eyes of the stranger
In the eyes of the stranger

The Edge Of America

Walk the edge of America
A concrete beach to scrape my hand
Inside the subway stinking fear and shame
Becomes the violent breath

Vigilantes out on dawn patrol
But now there's nothing left to hide
I'm just a number on the metal fence
Which marks the great divide

Hey boy
Give your dreams a rest
If you're tired of searching
This is where it ends
There's nothing left to lose
Nothing to protest
Learn to love your anger now
Anger here is all you possess
Welcome to the age

Below the towers of the citadel
Seems someone overlooked the cost
Forgotten soldier of paradise
Now paradise is lost

Recognition never realized
Salvation lost among the crowd
So tell me beside this sterile sea
Where is your nation now?

And we say
Hey boy
Give your dreams a rest
If you're tired of searching
This is where it ends
There's nothing left to lose
Nothing to protest
Learn to love your anger now
Anger here is all you possess
Welcome to the edge

Taste The Summer

Doo doo doo doobeedoo
Doo doo doo, doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doobeedoo
Doo doo doo, doo doo doo

Doo doo doo doobeedoo
Doo doo doo, doo doo doo
(Taste the summer, you can taste the summer)

Can you, can you taste the summer?
I do, I find it in your mouth

Now if I have a weakness it's for sweetness
And it's... floating on your breath, the sweetest melody

Doo doo doo doobeedoo
Doo doo doo, doo doo doo
(Taste the summer, you can taste the summer)

Sure we can make it till the evenings
Cool haze is reflected off your thighs

Long days are coming up and staying up and playing
Music of the falling stars, a melody (melody...)

Doo doo doo doobeedoo
Doo doo doo, doo doo doo
(Taste the summer, you can taste the summer)

Thank You

If the sun refused to shine I would still be loving you
And mountains crumble to the sea there will still be you and me
Kind of woman I'll give you my all kind of woman and nothing more
Little drops of rain whispers all the pain tears of love lost in the days gone by
Our love is strong with you there is no wrong
Together we'll shall go until we die
Inspiration is what you are to me inspiration love to see
And so today my world it smiled your hand in mine we walk the mile
Thanks to you it will be dawn and you to me are the only one
Happiness no longer sad happiness I'm glad
If the sun refused to shine I would still be loving you
And mountains crumble into the sea there would be still you and me

Still Breathing

Home, it's not brick or stone
Or comfort in the firelight,
Not in that sense anyway.
Dreams, if only I had known
But these things always seem
So much clearer at a distance.

I'm walking out of this town
I'm never going back there,
I'm never going back there.
I'd burn the place to the ground.
I'm never going back there,
I'm never going back there again.

Words only could break that ring
You know the words still sting
So much harder than the blows ever did.
Heart, though it's hot and violent
My head is cool and quiet
As the ashes that fall from the sky

I'm walking out of this town
I'm never going back there,
I'm never going back there.
I burn the place to the ground.
I'm never going back there,
I'm never going back there again.

Now, I know this shattered feeling,
Trampled but still breathing.

I'm just waiting for a good day
I'm walking out of this town
I'm never going back there,
I'm never going back there.
I've burn the place to the ground.
I'm never going back there,
I'm never going back there again.
Never going back there again,
I'm never going back there again

Starting To Remember

How to begin do I shed a skin?
Now that I am starting to remember
It takes a while
But you find a way to open up the door
Let demons walk
Now that I am starting to remember
Can't change my world

I was happy ever after
Was it only yesterday?
That I bought the dream?
But I don't sleep no more
Counting the hours
'Til the dawn

Now that I am starting to remember
How to love
How to learn draw like a child
Run for miles and miles
Now that I am starting to remember
Who I am
Another lonely night ahead for me now
Buried in the darkening day
That lingers on
And drags me down
But you've got to believe
Time will heal.

Sound Of Thunder

I've been in this grass here for the last ten hours
My clothes are dirty but my mouth isn't dry
How does it happen does it fly through the air
Woah I gave up asking days away I gave up asking days away

And now I'm lying here waiting for the sound of thunder
Waiting for the sound of thunder

Here I am I'm a dotted line cut in through corners stick me through your door
I'm the man who stepped off the path
Am I just lying here that's what I was made for

And now my eyes are closing but I still feel the land
Leaning out for the touch of my hand
The world spins so fast that I might fly off
The world spins so fast that I might fly off
The world spins so fast that I might fly off

Waiting for the sound of thunder
I'm waiting for the sound of thunder [repeat and fade]

Someone Else Not Me

Now while the beat is slow
Here in your arms I sway
Now that the light is low
Something I want to say
I guess you've known it for a while
But I mean trouble
I only want to see you smile
And I burst this bubble
The hardest thing is to let go

When love is real...
Like a flower loves a bee
But I know you're meant to give yourself to someone else
Not me

And I could carry on with you
Does that sound crazy?
I think you feel the same way too
And you can't face it
The hardest thing is to let go

But it's not defeat
When you set somebody free
And I know you're meant to be yourself with someone else
Not me

Can you let go?
'Cause that's love that's real
Like a flower loves a bee
And you know you're meant to give yourself to someone else
Not me

Somebody else not me
Meant for somebody else not me
Somebody else not me

So Long Suicide

Rock-a-bye baby it's time to break habits that you face sweet sorrow of the cherished dead
Blow in my mouth every breath I take although I need you I don't wanna bleed for you

So long suicide going right out of sight out of mind leave me alone and abandoned
Hello I'm alive I'm lone and alive in my bones I know what I'm good for
Hello I'm alive I'm lone and alive yes I know in my bones I know what I'm doing

I stole the beauty and taste the hurt there's always time for pretty flowers growing in the dirt
But time is your needle into my heart and I must be hollow coz I can't follow that

So long suicide going right out of sight out of mind leave me alone and abandoned
Hello I'm alive I'm lone and alive and I know in my bones I know what I'm good for
Hello I'm alive I'm lone and alive yes I know in my bones I know what I'm doing

I'm scared of being unendearing
But I just wanna live like anyone and you know it's hard to make it
But our life goes on
And after all the crash and swell we are just human
And after all is said and done we're only human
You're out of sight and out of mind I'm saying so long suicide
The half dream shape of yesterday in bloom tomorrow

Skin Divers

Walking under skies
Waiting for the fall
Meet me at the cornershop I'll show you it all
Free you of your mind
Something you wont find
In the west-end pages with your google dirty fingers

It's a skin dive
In deep silence we are
Going underwater
It's a lifeline
Teardrop, bullets, all night
Dip into the water

[Rap:]
Baby, that's what it feels like when you come up for air
When you come up for air
You feel brand new
When you come up for air
When you come up for air
That's what it feels like when you come up for air
When you come up for air
You feel brand new
When you come up for air
When you come up for air

Wipe us of the face
Of the human race
Whichever way you look it's indisposed or disgraced
Fighting on the shore
The hoi polloi want more
Howling bloody murder but it's nothing just a murmur

In your skin dive
In deep silence we are
Going underwater
It's a lifeline
Teardrop, bullets, all night
Slip into the water

[Rap:]
Baby....that's what it feels like when you come up for air
When you come up for air
You feel brand new
When you come up for air
When you come up for air
That's what it feels like when you come up for air
When you come up for air
You feel brand new
When you come up for air
When you come up for air

A blushing rose is torn
From these sugar walls
I've misplaced my future could I please borrow yours?
Panic on the scene
You know what I mean
Anything you want to be the only thing you want from me

Is skin dive
In deep silence we are
Going underwater
It's a lifeline
Teardrop, bullets, all night
Go inside the water

[Rap:]
Babygirl you're swimming
A little too deep
So deep....that I think you might hit a reef
I think you low on oxygen
And you're too glad to leave
Babygirl swim to the top
Grab my hand and hold me and breathe

Baby....that's what it feels like when you come up for air
When you come up for air
You feel brand new
When you come up for air
When you come up for air
That's what it feels like when you come up for air
When you come up for air
You feel brand new
When you come up for air
When you come up for air

Sin Of The City

Coatcheck girl up in happyland has a violent row with a cuban man

The club had no fire exit the club only had one door
Only five people came out alive the sin is that 89 died

We are given angry hearts but anger's not enough

Daily news reviews the landlords life found six thousand code violations light
The city has more hundred thousand wars all for one of Forbes four hundred whores
Just one firecracker on a big bonfire a self serving penny pinching wiseguy style

Never allowing for the human condition the sin is that these guys survived

City living heavy trouble city living rough we are given angry hearts but anger's not enough

Shelter

Just come softly to me in the shelter of my heart
I watch you from the window working this vicious road
You shudder when the wind blows girl you're looking beat and cold
Don't know you situation but you look so alone to me
In my imagination this is what the message reads

Reaching out calling out for your love babe just come softly to me
Reaching out calling out for your love for your love babe in the shelter of my heart

Trust my intuition you're the one I've got to know
I give without condition wouldn't try to save your soul
Money or reputation doesn't mean a thing to me
Special communication it's the only thing we need

Reaching out, calling out just come softly to me
Calling out, hear me now in the shelter of my heart
Reaching out calling out for your love babe (in the shelter of my heart)
(Reaching out, here me now calling out do you read me)
Reaching out calling out for your love for you love babe just come softly to me

(Reaching out, here me now)
Here there is no hurt to feel here is safe for lips unsealed in the shelter of my heart

Reaching out calling out for your love babe just come softly to me
Reaching out calling out for your love for your love babe in the shelter of my heart
Reaching out hear me now calling out do you read me Reaching out hear me now calling out do you read me (repeat) Reaching out calling out for your love babe (repeat) (Ad lib and fade)

She's Too Much

She's gentle to the touch
She's everything head first
So happy to be causing trouble

Sometimes
The pressure gets too much
And you think she's going to burst
And shatter like a Christmas bubble

I'll be there when the world is
coming down upon her
When she's scared, I'll be there
Fighting in her corner

She cries when she's alone
For all life's little knocks
Everything is supposed to make us tougher
Thinking is doesn't really show
But I know how she hurts
And I can't bare to see her suffer

I'll be there when the world is
coming down upon her
When she's scared, I'll be there
Fighting in her corner
I'll be there when the world
is closing to surround her
In the air as she falls with my arms around her

Holding on I'm looking out for
Her thin skin
Because she's everything
and I don't think she knows

She's such a gentle touch
She's too much a gentle touch
She likes to catch the sun
Plays with it like a ball
And never mind whatever keeps it burning
Someday, she might just be the one
Whose going to save us all
If this apocalipse is coming

I'll be there when the world is
coming down upon her
When she's scared, I'll be there
Fighting in her corner
I'll be there when the world
is closing to surround her
In the air as she falls with my arms around her

Holding on I'm looking out for
Her thin skin
Because she's everything
and I don't think she knows

I don't think she knows
I don't think she knows
(she's too much)
I don't think she knows
(she's too much) a gentle touch

Shadows On Your Side

Shackeled and raised for a shining crowd
They want you to speak but the music is louder than all of their roar
With the heat off the planet's core

But the shadows are on your side as soon as the lights go down
In the darkest place you can find you belong to the hands of the night

Promises made with a distant friend
Truth should be known it can only bend to a tune of it's own
Hey you'll never hear that voice again
Scandel in white on a tangled vine
With everybody saying that your having the time of your life
When your life is on the slide
But the shadows are on your side as soon as the lights go down
In the darkest place you can find you belong to the hands of the night
Shadows on your side as soon as the lights go down
In the darkest place you can find you belong to the hands of the night

Spinning a compass to choose your way
You can run you can dive you can stand and you can soar
Whichever way you can be sure

That the shadows are on your side as soon as the lights go down
In the darkest place you can find you belong to the hands of the night
Shadows are on your side as soon as the lights go down
In the darkest place you can find you belong to the hands of the night
Shadows on your side
The shadows are on your side
Shadows on your side
The shadows are on your side
Shadows on your side
The shadows are on your side
Shadows on your side

Secret Oktober

Wise on a birthday party in a world full of surprising fireworks
And sudden silence shhh
Lying on a strangers bed the new day breaks like a speeding train or an old friend
Ever expected but never knocking
Holding your own in a battered car all night parties cocktail bars
And smile when the butterfly escapes the killing jar

Sure eyes awake before the dancing is over wise or naked in secret Oktober

Freefall on a windy morning shore nothing but a fading track of footsteps
Could prove that you never been there
Spoken on a cotton cloud like the sound of gunshot taken by the wind
And lost in distant thunder racing on a shining plain
And tomorrow you'll be content to watch as the lightning plays along the wires and you'll wonder

Sure eyes awake before the dancing is over wise or naked in secret Oktober
Sure eyes awake before the dancing is over wise or naked in secret oktober

Red Carpet Massacre

Dark sun rose on the ridge cut clear across the sky
As good a day as any to die
No reservation madam
No reason to know why
Running late stiletto heels
Try to loosen up the wheels

You spend your life in preparation for this day
Breathe in the air; it's loaded with fame
Check out those weapons sister before you hit the fray
String of pearls meet bits of gems
Enter the battle of the lenses

Red carpet massacre
Don't want to hassle you
Red carpet massacre
Deathstalk papparazzi yeah
Red carpet massacre
It's going to mess with you
We're in business
You're on the hit list

There's not so many now still standing on their feet
Their knives are out and singing so sweet
Engage with sharper minds that cut you when you meet
Anyplace to mess around
When someone wants to take you down

Maybe you think you're above this
But baby we know that you love it
Baby you know where to shove it
Apply your lipstick
'Fore dying in public

Red carpet massacre
Don't want to hassle you
Red carpet massacre
Deathstalk papparazzi yeah
Red carpet massacre
Don't want to mess with you
Now it's time
Next in line
We're so busted
Done and dusted

Pop Trash

Saw a close-up of your pretty face overnight sensation
Smiling for cameras from all around the world
If I rewind back to yesterday and start the tape back
No one knew who you were but now they're at your door

I'm living in a pop trash movie we star together in every scene
We'll all be famous for just a few more minutes part of a celluloid dream

Watching slo-mo going frame by frame my blood my vision
Your life went flashing by where did it all go wrong

I'm living in a pop trash movie we star together in every scene
We'll all be famous for 15 minutes part of a celluloid dream

I'll wait in the wings for you I'll be nice to you
But now the script is final you know it's time to go so we'll have to say good-bye

I'm living in a pop trash movie we star together in every scene
We'll all be famous for 15 minutes part of a celluloid dream
We star in ever scene but it's never quite what it seems never
I'm living in a pop trash movie we star together in every scene
We'll all be famous for 15 minutes part of a celluloid dream

Point Of No Return

The random aspects of our lives
Come together once in a while
So blinding and decidedly
Naivete falls from our eyes
And we'll not regain
As we watch the tower falling down

Maybe things can change
Only if you want
Maybe things can change
Only if you want

You know, you know there's no avoiding
The lesson to be learned
The lesson to be learned
The point of no return
You say "What if?"
But can you live it?
It's all that we deserve
It's all that we deserve
The point of no return

Don't blame yourself
Don't blame me
But we're the ones
Who can feed the ground
So this poison tree, don't let it grow again
And from this glass and broken earth
There is a way that can be built
A better life for everyone

Maybe things can change
Only if you want
Maybe things can change
Only if you want

Playing With Uranium

In for an evening
Of light entertainment
And who would believe you
Could worry the neighbours?
Come on over to my place
Playing with uranium
If it blows up in your face
See you on the other side
Come on over to my place

Playing with uranium
Reinvent the human race
You just got the invitation

We go undiscovered
'Cause people are careless
One way or another
They'll never forget us

Come on over to my place
Playing with uranium
And if it blows up in your face
See you on the other side
Come on over to my place
Never be the same again
Reinvent the human race
You just got the invitation

Playing with uranium
Playing with uranium
Never be the same again
Because we're playing with uranium

Perfect Day

Just a perfect day drink Sangrea in the park then later when it gets dark we go home
Just a perfect day feed animals in the zoo then later a movie too and then home

Oh such a perfect day I'm glad I spent it with you
Such a perfect day you just keep me hanging on you just keep me hanging on

Just a perfect day problems all left alone weekenders on our own such fun
Just a perfect day you made me forget myself I thought I was someone eles someone new

Oh such a perfect day I'm glad I spent it with you
Such a perfect day you just keep me hanging on you just keep me hanging on

You're gonna reap just what you sow, you're gonna reap just what you sow
You're gonna reap just what you sow, you're gonna reap just what you sow
You're gonna reap just what you sow, you're gonna reap just what you sow
You're gonna reap just what you sow

Palomino

She lays on the wall
Watching the strangers drift away
Mid-day's ore--thick
With the sun of Arabia

She surrenders her voices
They gather, on the wind
Talkin, chanting, breathing
Into her body...yesterday

Awakened beside
The scent of burnt sugar--on the skin
Painting eyes--thick
With the color she brings in
Oh, and sure and strong
When the lightning tumbles down
Don't you frown
Everything will be
In time for this evening

If there's secrets
She has to be pardoned to
Every one of them
If there's heaven
She gets to the heart

And you'll know...
Why she says
When I run out of blue
Help me rise instead
Then I will run to you
Why she says
When I run out of blue
Give me rain instead
Now let me run... (let me run)

[synthwash / piano interlude]

If there's secrets
She has to be pardoned to
Every one of them
If there's heaven
She gets to the heart

And you'll know...
Why she says
When I run out of blue
Help me rise instead
Then I will run to you
Why she says
When I run out of blue
Give me rain instead
Now let me run... (let me run)

Hey-hey....
Why she says
When I run out of blue
Help me rise instead
Then I will run to you
Why she says
When I run out of blue
Give me rain instead
Then I will run to you

[repeat to fade]

Out Of My Mind

Light a candle lay flowers at the door for those you left behind and the one's who've gone before
Here it comes now sure as silence follows rain
The taste of you upon my lips the fingers in my brain
And be gentle as it kills me where I lay who am I to resist
Who are you to fail

Got to get you out of my mind but I can't escape from the feeling
As I try to leave the memory behind without you what's left to believe in

It could be so sorry for the way it had to go
But now I feel your presense in a way I could not know
And I wonder do you ever feel the same
In whispering darkness do you ever hear my name

Got to get you out of my mind but I can't escape from the feeling
As I try to leave the memory behind without you what's left to belive in

Here in the back of your mind, here in the back of your mind
And how could you dare to become so close so real when you're just a ghost of me

And I've got to get you out of my mind but I can't escape from the feeling
As I try to leave the memory behind without you what's left to believe in
Here in the back of your mind, deep in the back of your mind
Here in the back of your mind, deep in the back of your mind
Deep in the back of your mind

One Of Those Days

Suddenly it all looks so familiar
Gone and wrecked it like I always do
Don't you know it?
Life is out to kill 'ya
But you still go getting on with it

Seen better times than right now
But I'm not running away
No nothing's gonna bring me down

It's just been one of those days
I'm not the only one

They can drag me to the gates of hell now
There's nothing left but I'm still hanging in
Not for me, ain't no final showdown
I'm too shattered to do anything

Seen better times than right now
But I'm not running away
'Cause nothing's going to bring me down

It's just been one of those days
I'm not the only one feeling this way
And I'm not sorry

I'm not the only one feeling this way
And I'm not sorry
Not running away

Of Crime And Passion

Why did you let me run when you knew I'd fall for the gaping hole where a heart should be
Liar couldn't cut me deeper with a knife if you tried
Just take a look before you run off and hide at your victim arise

Clouds on the shoulder aren't they grazed by the afterglow
How quiet they gather when the storm is about to blow
Oh Now (crime and passion) dont look away
Caught in the crossfire and there (crime and passion) ain't no wind of change
I'm talking of crime and passions rage

Summer of maddness or the undertow
Drag me up an alley for the blossoming fire on a strangers smile
Bride of wire how disguise so easily cracked
Saw your heart turn to spade this orchid's turned to black

Graze your shoulder like the clouds in the afterglow
How quiet they gather when the storm is about to blow
Oh Now (crime and passion) dont look away
Caught in the crossfire and there (crime and passion) ain't no wind of change
I'm talking of crime and passions rage

Way down by the shoulder in the haze of the afterglow
Stranded together and the storm's about to blow

Oh Now (crime and passion) dont look away
Caught in the crossfire and it (crime and passion) ain't no wind of change
I'm talking of crime and passion
Don't look away caught in the crossfire and it (crime and passion)
Don't (crime and passion) look away
Caught in the crossfire and it ain't no wind of change
I'm talking of crime and passion
Don't (crime and passion) look away

None Of The Above

I am I myself alone and realize I never need to use no one
When it comes down to my soul freedom puts my faith in none of the above
There was a time I was so afraid of everything people around me said
And I wanted to hide my face in the shadows
There was a time on a bed of nails I was dreaming the plan up that could not fail
But no power under the sun could pull it together
Can't take this attitude I've got to show now I've got to move on
God knows where I'm going to it's a lonely burning question

I am I myself alone and realize I never need to use no one money power holy roads
Freedom puts my faith in none of the above

If there's a time (if there's a time) that we ever see (ever see)
The nature of life in reality (reality)
Oh I want to be there to kick out the answer
I can't take this attitude I've gotta show now I've got to move on (gotta move on)
God knows where I'm going to it's a lonely burning question

I am I myself alone (all alone) and realize I never need to use no one
Money power holy roads (holy roads) freedom puts my faith in none of the above
I am I myself alone (all alone) I realize I never need to use no one
When it comes down to my soul (to my soul) freedom puts my faith in none of the above

I am I myself alone (on my own alone) and realize I never need to use no one (use no one)
Money power holy roads (holy roads, holy roads, holy roads)
Freedom puts my faith in none of the above
I am I myself alone (myself alone) and realize I never need to use no one
When it comes down to my soul freedom puts my faith in none of the above
None of the above, my faith in none of the above, none of the above
I stand by none of the above, none of the above, I stand by none of the above
None of the above

Nite Runner

You're nocturnal
Only come out at night
And I'm learning
All the ways you want to ride

Cuz you're on the roam
But not until the darkness arrives
And I'm certain
I'll catch up to you one of these times, baby
Oh

Can I get my hands on you tonight
(I must be feeling something)
Some thing tells me I'm in for a ride
(I wonder if you see me coming)
Can I put my hands on you tonight
(One night has got me running)
Something tells me I'm in for a ride
(Right into your nighttime world cuz I'm a)

Nite Runner
I think I'm falling for you
Nite Runner
You got a style that put me under
Nite Runner
What you gonna do with it now
Nite Runner
Nite, nite runner

Light scatters
When you walk into the room
Under shadow
I can feel the heat in you
Should I be surprised
I see the possibility
Moving right across to me
And it all matters
When I'm getting close to you, hey yeah
Uh huh

Can I get my hands on you tonight
(I must be feeling something)
Something tells me I'm in for a ride
(I wonder if you see me coming)
Can I put my hands on you tonight
(One night has got me running)
Something tells me I'm in for a ride
(Right into your nighttime world cuz I'm a)

Nite Runner
I think I'm falling for you
Nite Runner
You got a spell that puts me under
Nite Runner
What you gonna do with it now

Love is haunting
She wanted to go
That's what she told me
Love is haunting
She wanted to go
But I can't, can't

Night Boat

Standing on the edge of a quay no lights flashing on the water for me
Fog in my mind darkens my eyes silently streaming for a distant sound
Ripple river yellows rising for a breath of breeding and drowns
Stillness overcomes me in the night listen to the rising water moan

I'm waiting, waiting for the night boat woo I'm waiting
Waiting for the night boat

Shadows all through me shudder away echo me echo me (echo me)
Am I alone or is the river alive cause it echos me, echos me, echos me

I'm waiting, waiting for the night boat woo I'm waiting
Waiting for the night boat

Waiting (waiting) waiting for the night boat woo I'm waiting (waiting)
Waiting for the night boat waiting for the night boat woo I'm waiting
Waiting for the night boat I'm wating for the night boat

Nice

Take the beautiful sting of a Scorpio
A careless smile and it begins to snow
And it hurts me to think
That you might never know
That I've got this thing about you

In case you don't understand
There's something else I meant to tell you

There is nothing better
Than being with you
And I'm feeling so nice
There is nowhere better
Than here with you
And it's feeling so nice

Staying up with the moon
And walking home in the rain
Mixed with your perfume
And never twice the same
I got a lot to lose
But everything to gain
When I really think about it

You haven't got a clue
It's all that I can do to hide it

There is nothing better
Than being with you
And I'm feeling so nice
There is nowhere better
Than here with you
And it's feeling so nice

Did I already say
'Cause you make me forget
I might as well be brave and tell 'ya

And it hurts me to think that
You might never know
Will it hurt as much being true?
I might as well be brave and tell 'ya

Yeah I'm feeling
And it's feeling so nice
