==Kiss the Carpet==
 
She got red eyes<br/>
 
She wear dust<br/>
 
I went over over over<br/>
 
I went bust<br/>
 
I kissed I kissed the carpet<br/>
 
I climbed the curtain<br/>
 
I was certain<br/>
 
And I said yeah<br/>
 
Yeah

Kiss the carpet should I<br/>

==Lights==
 
The lights shine clear through the sodium haze<br/>
 
The night draws near and daylight fades<br/>
 
Ignore the voices discard the day<br/>
 
For the brand new darkness for the bright new way<br/>
 
Hit <br/>
 
Well there have been better plans<br/>
 
But none that I could ever understand<br/>
 
Emerald signal the green on black<br/>
 
The lights say move say never look back<br/>
 
And so I find a place where I've never been seen<br/>
 
Find another place where the red turns green<br/>
 
Where the emerald glistens through the darkness again<br/>
 
Where the emerald glistens through the rain
 
 
 
The lights shine clear through the sodium haze<br/>
 
The night draws near and the daylight fades<br/>
 
But there's a voice in the distance quiet and clear<br/>
 
Saying something that I never ever wanted to hear
 
 
 
Well there have been better plans <br/>
 
But none that I could ever understand<br/>
 
I see the emerald signal see the green on black<br/>
 
I see the light say move say never look back<br/>
 
And so I find another place where I'll never been seen<br/>
 
Find another place where the red turns green<br/>
 
Where the emerald glistens through the darkness again<br/>
 
Where the emerald glistens through the rain rain rain<br/>
 
And I'm happy here <br/>
 
In the rain<br/>
 
In the rain<br/>
 
In the rain rain rain<br/>
 
I'm happy here<br/>
 
In the rain<br/>
 
Where the emerald<br/>
 
Glistens<br/>
 
Through the rain
 
==Lucretia==
 
I hear the roar of a big machine<br/>
 
Two worlds and in between<br/>
 
Hot metal and methedrine<br/>
 
I hear empire down<br/>
 
I hear empire down
 
 
 
I hear the roar of a big machine<br/>
 
Two worlds and in between<br/>
 
Love lost, fire at will<br/>
 
Dum-dum bullets and shoot to kill, I hear<br/>
 
Dive, bombers, and<br/>
 
Empire down<br/>
 
Empire down
 
 
 
I hear the sons of the city and dispossessed<br/>
 
Get down, get undressed<br/>
 
Get pretty but you and me,<br/>
 
We got the kingdom, we got the key<br/>
 
We got the empire, now as then,<br/>
 
We don't doubt, we don't take direction,<br/>
 
Lucretia, my reflection, dance the ghost with me
 
 
 
We look hard<br/>
 
We look through<br/>
 
We look hard to see for real<br/>
 
Such things I hear, they don't make sense<br/>
 
I don't see much evidence<br/>
 
I don't feel. I don't feel. I don't Feel
 
 
 
A long train held up by page on page<br/>
 
A hard reign held up by rage<br/>
 
Once a railroad<br/>
 
Now it's done...
 
 
 
I hear the roar of a big machine<br/>
 
Two worlds and in between<br/>
 
Hot metal and methedrine<br/>
 
I hear empire down...
 
 
 
We got the empire, now as then,<br/>
 
We don't doubt, we don't take reflection,<br/>
 
Lucretia, my direction, dance the ghost with me...
 
==Marian (version)==
 
In a sea of faces, in a sea of doubt<br/>
 
In this cruel place your voice above the maelstrom<br/>
 
In the wake of this ship of fools I'm falling further down<br/>
 
If you can see me, Marian, reach out and take me home.....
 
 
 
CHORUS<br/>
 
I hear you calling Marian<br/>
 
Across the water, across the wave<br/>
 
I hear you calling Marian<br/>
 
Can you hear me calling you to<br/>
 
Save me, save me, save me from the <br/>
 
Grave...<br/>
 
Marian
 
 
 
Marian, there's a weight above me<br/>
 
And the pressure is all too strong<br/>
 
To breathe deep<br/>
 
Breathe long and hard<br/>
 
To take the water down and go to sleep<br/>
 
To sink still further<br/>
 
Beneath the fatal wave<br/>
 
Marian I think I'm drowning<br/>
 
This sea is killing me
 
 
 
CHORUS
 
 
 
Was ich kann und was ich konnte (What I can do and what I could do)<br/>
 
Weiss ich gar nicht mehr (I just don't know anymore)<br/>
 
Gib mir wieder etwas schones (Give me something beautiful again) <br/>
 
Zieh mich aus dem meer (Drag me from the sea)<br/>
 
Ich hore dich rufen Marian (I hear you calling Marian)<br/>
 
Kannst du mich schreien horen (Can you hear me calling?)<br/>
 
Ich bin hier allien (I am here alone)<br/>
 
Ich hore dich rufen Marian (I hear you calling Marian)<br/>
 
Ohne diene hilfe verliere ich mich in diessem ort (Without your help I am lost in this place)
 
 
 
CHORUS<br/>
 
(repeat Marian til end)
 
==More==
 
Some people get by<br/>
 
With a little understanding<br/>
 
Some people get by<br/>
 
With a whole lot more<br/>
 
I don't know<br/>
 
Why you gotta be so undemanding<br/>
 
One thing I know<br/>
 
I want more<br/>
 
I want more
 
 
 
(and I need all the love that I can't get to)<br/>
 
(and I need all the love I can get)<br/>
 
(and I need all the love that I can't get to)
 
 
 
D'you get scared to feel so much?<br/>
 
To let somebody touch you?<br/>
 
So hot, so cold, so far so out of control<br/>
 
Hard to come by, and harder to hold
 
 
 
Some people get by<br/>
 
With a little understanding<br/>
 
Some people get by<br/>
 
With a whole lot more<br/>

(and I need all the love that I can't get to)<br/>
 
(and I need all the love I can get)<br/>
 
(and I need all the love that I can't get to)
 
 
 
There are parts of me that don't get nervous<br/>
 
Not the parts that shake<br/>
 
You won't get what you deserve<br/>
 
You are what you take<br/>
 
Learning to cry for fun and profit<br/>
 
I'm not done yet<br/>
 
Counterfeit dollars or the English zloty<br/>
 
Anything I can get
 
 
 
Some people get by<br/>
 
With a little understanding<br/>
 
Some people get by<br/>
 
With a whole lot more<br/>

(and I need all the love that I can't get to)<br/>
 
(and I need all the love I can get)<br/>
 
(and I need all the love that I can't get to)
 
 
 
All the love that you can get<br/>
 
All the love<br/>
 
That I can't get to...
 
==Neverland (a fragment)==
 
I had a face on the mirror<br/>
 
I had a hand on the gun<br/>
 
I had a place in the sun and a <br/>
 
Ticket to Syria
 
 
 
I had everything within my reach<br/>
 
I had monkey and stuff<br/>
 
Each and every call<br/>
 
Too much but never enough<br/>
 
Tear it up and watch it fall
 
==Nine While Nine==
 
And it's passing strange<br/>
 
And I'm waiting for the train<br/>
 
Caught up on this line again<br/>
 
And it's passing slowly<br/>
 
Killing time but it's<br/>
 
Better than living in what will come and I've<br/>
 
Still got some of your letters with me and I<br/>
 
Thought sometimes or I read too much<br/>
 
And I think you know let's<br/>
 
Drink to the dead lying under the water and the<br/>
 
Cost of the blood on the driven snow and the<br/>
 
Lipstick on my cigarettes<br/>
 
Frost upon the window pane<br/>
 
Nine while nine and I'm waiting<br/>
 
For the train.....
 
 
 
She said do you remember a time when angels<br/>
 
Do you remember a time when fear<br/>
 
In the days when I was stronger<br/>
 
In the days when you were here she said<br/>
 
When days had no beginning<br/>
 
While days had no end when<br/>
 
Shadows grew no longer I<br/>
 
Knew no other friend but you <br/>
 
Were wild<br/>
 
You were wild.....
 
 
 
Frost upon these cigarettes<br/>
 
Lipstick on the window pane and I've<br/>
 
Lost all sense of the world outside but I<br/>
 
Can't forget so I call your name and I'm<br/>
 
Looking for a life for me and I'm<br/>
 
Looking for a life for you and I'm<br/>
 
Talking to myself again and it's<br/>
 
So damn cold it's just not true and I'm<br/>
 
Walking through the rain<br/>
 
Trying to hold on waiting for the train and I'm<br/>
 
Only looking for what you want but it's<br/>
 
Lonely here and I think you knew and I'm<br/>
 
And I'm waiting<br/>
 
And I wait in vain<br/>
 
Nine while nine and I'm waiting <br/>
 
For the train.....    (repeat last verse x2)
 
==No Time To Cry==
 
It's just a feeling<br/>
 
I get sometimes<br/>
 
A feeling<br/>
 
Sometimes<br/>
 
And I get frightened<br/>
 
Just like you<br/>
 
I get frightened too<br/>
 
but it's...
 
 
 
CHORUS
 
 
 
(no no no) No time for heartache<br/>
 
(no no no) No time to run and hide<br/>
 
(no no no) No time for breaking down<br/>
 
(no no no) No time to cry
 
 
 
Sometimes in the world as is you've <br/>
 
Got to shake the hand that feeds you<br/>
 
It's just like Adam says<br/>
 
It's not so hard to understand<br/>
 
It's just like always coming down on<br/>
 
Just like Jesus never came and<br/>
 
What did you expect to find <br/>
 
It's just like always here again it's...
 
 
 
CHORUS
 
 
 
Everything will be alright<br/>
 
Everything will turn out fine<br/>
 
Some nights I still can't sleep<br/>
 
And the voices pass with time<br/>
 
And I keep <br/>
 
(repeat)<br/>
 
No time for tears<br/>
 
No time to run and hide<br/>
 
No time to be afraid of fear<br/>
 
I keep no time to cry
 
 
 
CHORUS
 
==On The Wire==
 
Now the ground comes up too fast<br/>
 
Too fast to meet you<br/>
 
In clouds of dust erupting<br/>
 
Thick around your feet, be careful<br/>
 
In the rubble in waiting<br/>
 
Wall to wall where you tread<br/>
 
Now the quick and the dead and the same old <br/>
 
Fates come calling cards away<br/>
 
How do you think it came to pass you<br/>
 
By the hard way by desire<br/>
 
How do you think it came to pass you by?<br/>
 
On the wire
 
 
 
I don't sleep so I don't dream<br/>
 
So I don't wake up frightened<br/>
 
Everything is what it seems if<br/>
 
You look deep enough tonight and <br/>
 
See.....
 
 
 
On the wire<br/>
 
On the wire<br/>
 
On the wire<br/>
 
I will not fall
 
 
 
(repeat)
 
 
 
(repeat x4)
 
==Poison Door==
 
Behind the door<br/>
 
The poison door<br/>
 
We search the still hours<br/>
 
Looking<br/>
 
For a place to hide(For a place to hide)<br/>
 
Behind the door<br/>
 
Where dreams collide(Where dreams collide)<br/>
 
Behind the door<br/>
 
The poison door<br/>
 
We sit in silence waiting<br/>
 
For a deadly friend<br/>
 
Behind the door<br/>
 
Where dreams descend(Where dreams descend)<br/>
 
And the shadows smile
 
 
 
Lips dark and wild<br/>
 
The shadows smile<br/>
 
And kiss the sky<br/>
 
Behind the door<br/>
 
The poison door<br/>
 
The puppets dance on a burning floor<br/>
 
Like dying flames<br/>
 
Behind the door<br/>
 
Shoot me down again
 
 
 
(repeat to first break)
 
 
 
And kiss your memory goodbye<br/>
 
And the shadows smile<br/>
 
But their lips are ssss...
 
 
 
And the shadows smile<br/>
 
Lips dark and wild<br/>
 
And the shadows smile<br/>
 
Kiss your memory goodbye<br/>
 
And the shadows smile<br/>
 
Lips dark and wild<br/>
 
And kiss the sky
 
==Possession==
 
Carrion child,<br/>
 
Prey for me,play your <br/>
 
Wild card, see the house come down around your <br/>
 
Head, home to me, so much dreaming<br/>
 
Some say m growing cold and<br/>
 
Taking over<br/>
 
Nothing, cuts, two ways.....<br/>
 
Possession: taking over<br/>
 
Stand these pictures on your shelf<br/>
 
And wear your heart upon my sleeve,<br/>
 
Wear a dress that you can see through,<br/>
 
See yourself inside;<br/>
 
I'll be your imagination,<br/>
 
Tear apart what you believe,<br/>
 
Make a mess of your conviction,<br/>
 
Take away my pride and leave, <br/>
 
Nothing, but the debris,<br/>
 
Cuts, two ways, <br/>
 
Carrion child,<br/>
 
Prey for me, play your <br/>
 
Wild card, see the house come down around your<br/>
 
Possession: taking over.....<br/>
 
Possession: shake shake shake shake shake shake;<br/>
 
Possession: taking over.....<br/>
 
Somehow the fact takes over, and the fiction coming through,<br/>
 
Somehow I do my crying breaking down for you,<br/>
 
This way doubt takes over, contradiction coming through,<br/>
 
This way I do my lying, making up and making out for you.....<br/>
 
Possession: taking over<br/>
 
Child    (nothing)<br/>
 
Prey for me    (but the debris)<br/>
 
Play your wild card    (cuts two ways)<br/>
 
Some say I'm growing cold and<br/>
 
Taking over.....Down around your <br/>
 
Head    (nothing)<br/>
 
Home to me    (but the debris)<br/>
 
So much dreaming, see the house come down around your<br/>
 
Possession: shake shake shake shake shake shake shake<br/>
 
Possession: taking over.....<br/>
 
Possession: shake shake shake shake shake shake shake<br/>
 
Possession: taking hold

As the day is long<br/>

Rain from Heaven
 
 
 
We forgive as we forget<br/>
 
As the day is long<br/>

As the water flows over the bridge(We forgive as we forget)<br/>
 
As we walk on the floodland(As the day is long)<br/>
 
As we walk on the water    (As the day is long)<br/>
 
We forget<br/>
 
We forget<br/>
 
Rain from heaven    (Rain from Heaven)<br/>

==Red Skies Disappear==
 
Out of our hands<br/>
 
Something's calling<br/>
 
Catch me crying<br/>
 
Calling your name<br/>
 
Marian<br/>
 
Do no more than<br/>
 
Watch you try and understand me<br/>
 
Well i've found<br/>
 
It worth the ***<br/>
 
All around me<br/>
 
All around me<br/>
 
Marian<br/>
 
Take my hand<br/>
 
Lay beside me on the burning sand
 
 
 
CHORUS<br/>
 
Marian<br/>
 
Only you can<br/>
 
Say the words i need to hear<br/>
 
Marian<br/>
 
Only you can<br/>
 
Make these red skies disappear
 
 
 
Marian
 
 
 
CHORUS
 
 
 
Marian<br/>
 
Can you hear me calling?<br/>
 
Touch me now<br/>
 
In my hour of need<br/>
 
Speak to me softly<br/>
 
Lay down beside me<br/>
 
Marian<br/>
 
I think you know<br/>
 
I need you near me<br/>
 
Don't try to understand<br/>
 
The sun is falling<br/>
 
Burning sand<br/>
 
Can you hear me calling?<br/>
 
Marian
 
 
 
CHORUS
 
==Ribbons==
 
I'm lying on my back now<br/>
 
The stars look all too near<br/>
 
Flowers on the razor wire<br/>
 
I know you're here<br/>
 
We are few<br/>
 
And far between<br/>
 
I was thinking about her skin<br/>
 
Love is a many splintered thing<br/>
 
Don't be afraid now<br/>
 
Just walk on in<br/>
 
(Flowers on the razor wire)<br/>
 
(Walk on in)<br/>
 
Her eyes were cobalt red<br/>
 
Her voice was cobalt blue<br/>
 
I see no purple light<br/>
 
Crashing out of you<br/>
 
So just walk on in<br/>
 
(Flowers on the razor wire)<br/>
 
(Walk on in)<br/>
 
Her lovers queued up in the hallway<br/>
 
I heard them scratching at the door<br/>
 
I tried to tell her<br/>
 
About Marx and Engels, God and Angels<br/>
 
I don't really know what for<br/>
 
But she looked good in ribbons<br/>
 
So just walk on in<br/>
 
She looked good in ribbons<br/>
 
So just walk on in
 
 
 
Tie a red red red red red red ribbon<br/>
 
Love is a many splintered thing<br/>
 
Tie a red red red red ribbon<br/>
 
Don't be afraid<br/>
 
Just walk on in
 
 
 
Just walk on in<br/>
 
(Incoming...)<br/>
 
(Incoming...)<br/>
 
Just walk on in<br/>
 
Just walk on in<br/>
 
Flowers on the razor wire<br/>
 
Just walk on in...<br/>
 
INCOMING!
 
==A Rock and a Hard Place==
 
And she came to look for me<br/>
 
Sold me name and innocence<br/>
 
Took my key<br/>
 
And told me to follow her<br/>
 
Down from igor with her bangles and her reference<br/>
 
One from the church from the valley of the<br/>
 
Well she wanted a haven and a place to hide<br/>
 
So I gave her an alibi took her inside but
 
 
 
A rock and a hard place await for for me<br/>
 
Between the devil and the deep blue sea<br/>
 
Everything I ever did right or wrong<br/>
 
Hid out of sight where I belong, belong
 
 
 
And I didn't have the heart to tell her <br/>
 
Why<br/>
 
And there wasn't a part of me that<br/>
 
Didn't want to say goodbye but
 
 
 
Cause and effect go hand in hand with<br/>
 
The devil may care but I don't mind and I<br/>
 
Thought she'd never quite understand so I<br/>
 
Left her there that night but will she <br/>
 
Find me? I don't think so, no<br/>
 
When you go, you go alone<br/>
 
And I'm gone.............<br/>
 
far away (x4)
 
 
 
And I didn't have the heart to tell <br/>
 
Why<br/>
 
And there wasn't a part of me that <br/>
 
Didn't want to say goodbye but...
 
 
 
CHORUS (to fade)
 
==Some Kind of Stranger==
 
And yes I believe in what we had<br/>
 
But words got in the way<br/>
 
And only yesterday<br/>
 
As I was leaving<br/>
 
Lord knows I've tried to say but I've <br/>
 
Heard a million conversations<br/>
 
Going where they've been before<br/>
 
Seen the way that careful lingers<br/>
 
Undecided at the door
 
 
 
CHORUS<br/>
 
And all I know for sure<br/>
 
All I know for real<br/>
 
Is knowing doesn't mean so much<br/>
 
When placed against the feeling<br/>
 
The heat inside<br/>
 
When bodies meet<br/>
 
When fingers touch
 
 
 
All my words are secondhand and<br/>
 
Useless in the face of this<br/>
 
Rationale and rhyme and reason<br/>
 
Pale beside a single kiss<br/>
 
And I've heard so many things I<br/>
 
Fail to understand at all<br/>
 
I'd settle anytime for<br/>
 
Unknown footsteps in the hall outside
 
 
 
CHORUS
 
 
 
Because the world is cruel and <br/>
 
Promises are broken<br/>
 
Don't try to tell me<br/>
 
Anything don't try to tell me<br/>
 
You'll be true to me you know the<br/>
 
Real truth is never spoken<br/>
 
And I know the world is cold but<br/>
 
If you hold on tight to what you<br/>
 
Find you might not mind too much though<br/>
 
Even this must pass away and<br/>
 
Memories may last for years but<br/>
 
Names are just for souvenirs<br/>
 
Some kind of angel let me<br/>
 
Look into your eyes<br/>
 
Don't give me whys and wherefores<br/>
 
Reason or surprise<br/>
 
I don't care for words that don't belong<br/>
 
And I don't care what you're called<br/>
 
Tell me later if at all<br/>
 
I can wait a long long time<br/>
 
Before I hear another love song
 
 
 
Come here I think you're beautiful<br/>
 
My door is open wide<br/>
 
Some kind of angel come inside
 
 
 
Come here I think you're beautiful<br/>
 
I think you're beautiful beautiful<br/>
 
Some kind of angel come inside
 
 
 
Come here I think you're beautiful<br/>
 
I think you're beautiful<br/>
 
Some kind of angel come inside
 
 
 
Come here I think you're beautiful<br/>
 
My door is open wide<br/>
 
Some kind of stranger come inside
 
 
 
Come here I think you're beautiful<br/>
 
I think you're beautiful beautiful<br/>
 
Some kind of stranger come inside
 
 
 
Come here I think you're beautiful<br/>
 
I think you're beautiful<br/>
 
Some kind of stranger come inside

==Something Fast==
 
All the things<br/>
 
We never needed<br/>
 
I don't need them now<br/>
 
All the things<br/>
 
Were always confidential<br/>
 
And hidden from me anyhow
 
 
 
You can stand all night<br/>
 
At a red light anywhere in town<br/>
 
Hailing maries left and right<br/>
 
But none of them slow down<br/>
 
I seen the best of men go past<br/>
 
I don't want to be the last<br/>
 
Gimme something fast
 
 
 
God knows everybody needs<br/>
 
A hand in their decision<br/>
 
Some of us are not so sure<br/>
 
I seen his own held out<br/>
 
For a ride on television<br/>
 
I think he's still in Baltimore
 
 
 
You can stand all night<br/>
 
At a red light anywhere in town<br/>
 
Hailing maries left and right<br/>
 
But none of them slow down<br/>
 
I seen the best of men go past<br/>
 
I don't want to be the last<br/>
 
Gimme something fast
 
==Temple of Love==
 
1<br/>
 
With the fire from the fireworks up above me<br/>
 
With a gun for a lover and a shot for the pain at hand<br/>
 
You run for cover in the temple of love <br/>
 
You run for another but still the same<br/>
 
For the wind will blow my name across this land
 
 
 
2<br/>
 
In the temple of love you hide together<br/>
 
Believing pain and fear outside<br/>
 
But someone near you rides the weather<br/>
 
And the tears he cried will rain on walls<br/>
 
As wide as lovers eyes
 
 
 
CHORUS<br/>
 
In the temple of love: Shine like thunder<br/>
 
In the temple of love: Cry like rain<br/>
 
In the temple of love: Hear my calling<br/>
 
In the temple of love: Hear my name
 
 
 
3<br/>
 
And the devil in black dress watches over<br/>
 
My guardian angel walks away<br/>
 
Life is short and love is always over in the morning<br/>
 
Black wind come carry me far away
 
 
 
4<br/>
 
With the sunlight died and night above me<br/>
 
With a gun for a lover and a shot for the pain inside
 
 
 
5<br/>
 
You run for cover in the temple of love<br/>
 
You run for another it's all the same<br/>
 
For the wind will blow and throw your walls aside<br/>
 
With the fire from the fireworks up above <br/>
 
With a gun for a lover and a shot for the pain
 
 
 
6<br/>
 
You run for cover in the temple of love<br/>
 
I shine like thunder cry like rain<br/>
 
And the temple grows old and strong<br/>
 
But the wind blows longer cold and long<br/>
 
And the temple of love will fall before<br/>
 
This black wind calls my name to you no more
 
 
 
7<br/>
 
In the black sky thunder sweeping<br/>
 
Underground and over water <br/>
 
Sounds of crying weeping will not save<br/>
 
Your faith for bricks and dreams for mortar<br/>
 
All your prayers must seem as nothing<br/>
 
Ninety-six below the wave<br/>
 
When stone is dust and only air remains
 
 
 
CHORUS 2<br/>
 
In the temple of love: Shine like thunder<br/>
 
In the temple of love: Cry like rain<br/>
 
In the temple of love: Hear the calling<br/>
 
And the temple of love is falling <br/>
 
Down
 
 
 
(end of single version. extended version's additional lyrics follow)<br/>
 
 
 
CHORUS
 
 
 
(repeat verse 7)
 
 
 
the only haven you can trust
 
 
 
(repeat verse 3)
 
 
 
With the fire from the fireworks up above<br/>
 
With a gun for a lover and a shot for the pain you
 
 
 
(repeat verse 6)
 
 
 
(repeat verse 2)
 
 
 
CHORUS 2
 
 
 
 
 
==Torch==
 
And now the torch<br/>
 
And shadows lead<br/>
 
Were it not so black and not so hard to see<br/>
 
How can it help you when you don't know what you need<br/>
 
How can anybody set you free?
 
 
 
Would he walk upon the water<br/>
 
If he couldn't walk away?<br/>
 
And would you<br/>
 
Would you carry the torch<br/>
 
For me?
 
 
 
And what if I gave you the key<br/>
 
To the doors of your design...<br/>
 
Lit the corridors of desire?<br/>
 
Where if not so black<br/>
 
And not so hard to see<br/>
 
What use to you then any fire?
 
 
 
Would he walk upon the water<br/>
 
If he couldn't walk away?<br/>
 
And would you<br/>
 
Carry the torch for me?
 
 
 
Would he walk upon the water<br/>
 
If he couldn't walk away?<br/>
 
And would you<br/>
 
Would you carry the torch for me?
 
 
 
Would you carry the torch <br/>
 
For me?<br/>
 
Would you carry the torch <br/>
 
For me?<br/>
 
Would you carry the torch <br/>
 
For me?
 
==Train==
 
Train (x3)
 
 
 
Take a last decision and the cars to move it<br/>
 
Past information<br/>
 
Tunnel vision and the scars to prove it<br/>
 
Everybody got a reservation<br/>
 
Far beyond the black horizon<br/>
 
Beyond the things you know<br/>
 
Everybody got a destination<br/>
 
Everybody got a place to go
 
 
 
Take a walk downtown to where the victims go<br/>
 
Take your shadow to the end to the very last window<br/>
 
Everybody got friends got shot upside and over<br/>
 
Down the line<br/>
 
Everybody got assignations<br/>
 
I got mine
 
 
 
Take a one-way ticket to the chain-reaction<br/>
 
Out a hole between the ground and sky<br/>
 
Make a railway track for the main attraction<br/>
 
Cross my heart and take a ride<br/>
 
Far beyond the black horizon<br/>
 
Beyond the things you know<br/>
 
Everybody got a destination<br/>
 
Everybody got a place to go
 
==Under the Gun==
 
You don't have to say you're sorry<br/>
 
To look on further down the line<br/>
 
Into the sun<br/>
 
Too close at heaven<br/>
 
Love is fine<br/>
 
But you can't hold it like a...
 
 
 
Two worlds apart two together<br/>
 
Into that good night kiss away<br/>
 
One takes the hard, one the other<br/>
 
Kiss away
 
 
 
Are you living for love?<br/>
 
Are you living for love?<br/>
 
When the road gets too tough<br/>
 
Is your love strong enough?
 
 
 
Are you living?<br/>
 
Are you living for love?<br/>
 
Are you living for love?<br/>
 
(Repeat)
 
 
 
Do you feel your head is full of thunder?<br/>
 
Questions never end?<br/>
 
Empty nights alone?<br/>
 
No wonder<br/>
 
It all comes back again
 
 
 
Are you living for love?<br/>
 
Are you living for love?<br/>
 
I've been under the gun<br/>
 
I've lost and I've won<br/>
 
(Repeat)
 
 
 
(two, three, four)
 
 
 
Forget the many steps to heaven<br/>
 
It never happened and it ain't so hard<br/>
 
Happiness is a loaded weapon and a<br/>
 
Short cut is better by far<br/>
 
Explosive bolts, ten thousand volts<br/>
 
At a million miles an hour<br/>
 
Abrasive wheels and molten metals<br/>
 
It's a semi-automatic, get in the car<br/>
 
Corrosive heart and frozen heat<br/>
 
 
 
We're worlds apart where we could meet
 
 
 
Where the street fold round and the motors start<br/>
 
And the idiot wields the power<br/>
 
Where the chosen hold the highest card<br/>
 
On the field of honour where the ground is hard<br/>
 
So the highest hand is joking wild<br/>
 
And the house soon fold and no one stand<br/>
 
I put my finger on and dialled<br/>
 
The tower, the moon, the gun and<br/>
 
Nine nine nine, singer down<br/>
 
Cloudburst and all around<br/>
 
The first are last, the blessed get wired<br/>
 
The best is yet to come<br/>
 
I put my finger on and fired<br/>
 
Heat-seeking, out of the sun<br/>
 
You can set the controls for the heart or the knees<br/>
 
And the meek'll inherit what they damn well please<br/>
 
Get ahead, go figure, go ahead and pull the trigger<br/>
 
Everything under the gun
 
==Valentine==
 
The razor bites and the shriek subsides<br/>
 
He arches clutching at his sides<br/>
 
Across the floor across the tiles<br/>
 
The man is dead and the razor smiles<br/>
 
A shiny love song a quick incision<br/>
 
Cut him down on television
 
 
 
A people come to this<br/>
 
Beyond the age of reason<br/>
 
A people fed on famine <br/>
 
A people on their knees and<br/>
 
People eat each other<br/>
 
A people stand in line<br/>
 
Waiting for another war and<br/>
 
Waiting for my valentine
 
 
 
For a million empty faces<br/>
 
For a million hollow smiles<br/>
 
Cancer for my education<br/>
 
Watch the body hit the files<br/>
 
Waiting for another war and<br/>
 
Waiting for my valentine
 
==Vision Thing==
 
Twenty-five whores in the room next door<br/>
 
Twenty-five floors and I need more<br/>
 
I'm looking for the can in the candy store<br/>
 
Two thousand Hamburg four<br/>
 
And colours I ain't seen before<br/>
 
 
 
It's a small world and it smells funny<br/>
 
I'd buy another if it wasn't for the money<br/>
 
Take back what I paid<br/>
 
For another motherfucker in a motorcade<br/>
 
 
 
In a long black car<br/>
 
With the prettiest shit<br/>
 
From Panama<br/>
 
When the sirens wail<br/>
 
And the lights flash blue<br/>
 
My vision thing come<br/>
 
Slamming through<br/>
 
 
 
It's a small world and it smells bad<br/>
 
I'd buy another if I had<br/>
 
Back<br/>
 
What I paid
 
 
 
For another motherfucker in a motorcade<br/>
 
Slamming through<br/>
 
Slamming through<br/>
 
 
 
What do we need to make our world come alive?<br/>
 
What does it take to make us sing?<br/>
 
While we're waiting for the next one to arrive?<br/>
 
One million points of light<br/>
 
One billion dollar Vision Thing
 
 
 
Another black hole in the killing zone<br/>
 
A little more mad in the methedrome<br/>
 
One blinding flash of sense<br/>
 
Just like the president's<br/>
 
Well, I don't mind<br/>
 
Out of my mind<br/>
 
Blizzard king<br/>
 
Bring it on home<br/>
 
 
 
It's a small world and it smells bad<br/>
 
I'd buy another if I had<br/>
 
Back<br/>
 
What I paid<br/>
 
For another motherfucker in a motorcade
 
 
 
And a vision thing<br/>
 
And a vision thing<br/>
 
And a ...<br/>
 
Sha la la la <br/>
 
 
 
What do we need to make our world come alive?<br/>
 
What do we need to make us sing?<br/>
 
While we're waiting for the next one to arrive?<br/>
 
One million points of light<br/>
 
One billion dollar Vision Thing
 
 
 
Sha la la la
 
==Walk Away==
 
And in the summer when the clouds show through<br/>
 
I might go the same way too if<br/>
 
You and I could talk together<br/>
 
Well what am I supposed to do with<br/>
 
You and I would walk together<br/>
 
Then with always close around and<br/>
 
Now you gaze toward the doorway<br/>
 
When the weather comes falling down
 
 
 
CHORUS<br/>
 
And when the rain comes down<br/>
 
Would you choose to walk or stay<br/>
 
Would you choose to walk<br/>
 
Would you choose to stay<br/>
 
Would you<br/>
 
Walk walk walk walk walk away<br/>
 
(away) (away) away away (away) away <br/>
 
away away walk away<br/>
 
Would you choose to walk away
 
 
 
And when the rain comes down<br/>
 
Would you choose to walk or stay<br/>
 
Would you choose to walk <br/>
 
Would you choose to stay<br/>
 
Would you<br/>
 
Walk walk walk walk walk away
 
 
 
Though when the day is nearly<br/>
 
Through I might see the same way too if<br/>
 
You would name the things <br/>
 
That bring you down on me so I could say it's<br/>
 
Not quite true if you don't really<br/>
 
Know or understand the circumstance<br/>
 
Behind then I might clear your<br/>
 
Mind and you won't have to go so
 
 
 
CHORUS
 
==Watch==
 
Here's the story<br/>
 
No time to lose (like the present)<br/>
 
Now I've lost my friends<br/>
 
Now I've lost friends<br/>
 
It's not my party, <br/>
 
Never will be<br/>
 
Feeling out-of-place, <br/>
 
I'm not happy<br/>
 
A touch of the storm cloud...<br/>
 
Roughage in a comradeship and conversations<br/>
 
Conversations, everything's so run-of-the-mill<br/>
 
We stand still...
 
 
 
And time slips back,<br/>
 
And time slips back...<br/>
 
Back to the garden,<br/>
 
Time slips back<br/>
 
Back in the dark rooms <br/>
 
Time slips back<br/>
 
Back in the dark room<br/>
 
Back to the dark age<br/>
 
Put me on the rack<br/>
 
We stand still<br/>
 
Time slips back<br/>
 
Recount movements<br/>
 
Recount movements<br/>
 
Watch us grow<br/>
 
Watch us fall from grace<br/>
 
Watch us fall flat on our face<br/>
 
But you always fall on your feet<br/>
 
Tell me how you always<br/>
 
Fall on your feet<br/>
 
Tell me how <br/>
 
Tell me how <br/>
 
Tell me how<br/>
 
Oh tell me how
 
==When You Don't See Me==
 
When you don't see me...<br/>
 
 
 
It's not a matter of going to grow<br/>
 
It's not a matter of time or how I feel<br/>
 
I'm throwing off the shadow of a better man now<br/>
 
What you see is what you never had<br/>
 
Get real<br/>
 
Get another<br/>
 
 
 
I don't exist when you don't see me<br/>
 
I don't exist when you're not here<br/>
 
What the eye don't see won't break the heart<br/>
 
You can make believe when we're apart<br/>
 
But when you leave I disappear<br/>
 
When you don't see me...<br/>
 
 
 
Oh, it's kind of different when your there<br/>
 
You can lease the peace of mind<br/>
 
You bought a mask, I put it on<br/>
 
You never thought to ask me<br/>
 
If I wear it when you're gone<br/>
 
Get real<br/>
 
Get another<br/>
 
 
 
I don't exist when you don't see me<br/>
 
I don't exist when you're not here<br/>
 
What the eye don't see won't break the heart<br/>
 
You can make believe when we're apart<br/>
 
But when you leave I disappear<br/>
 
When you don't see me...<br/>
 
 
 
You never learned<br/>
 
You bought me<br/>
 
Everything and less<br/>
 
I turned<br/>
 
You couldn't let me move<br/>
 
I guess, I don't deny, it don't disprove<br/>
 
What you see is what you lost<br/>
 
If I were you I wouldn't try<br/>
 
Get real<br/>
 
Get another<br/>
 
 
 
I don't exist when you don't see me<br/>
 
I don't exist when you're not here<br/>
 
What the eye don't see won't break the heart<br/>
 
You can make believe when we're apart<br/>
 
But when you leave I disappear<br/>
 
When you don't see me...
 
==Wide Receiver==
 
You say<br/>
 
Where is my believer<br/>
 
Waiting for the sign<br/>
 
Those feet off the ground<br/>
 
... <br/>
 
... the skies go wild<br/>
 
Tattered and torn your feet never bleed<br/>
 
You say never mattered ... <br/>
 
... is over and the hour is ...
 
 
 
And where's your wide receiver<br/>
 
Over the line
 
 
 
Where's your wide receiver<br/>
 
Over the border<br/>
 
Where's your wide receiver<br/>
 
Over the line<br/>
 
Where's your wide receiver<br/>
 
Over the edge and<br/>
 
Too far forward<br/>
 
Where's your wide receiver<br/>
 
Over the line<br/>
 
(Repeat to fade)
 
==You Could Be The One==
 
All gods children give good phone<br/>
 
I called Jesus, he's not home<br/>
 
So I'm so pleased to talk to you<br/>
 
Trees and walks I love them too<br/>
 
Threatened species they adore me,<br/>
 
Flower children never bore me<br/>
 
But all the this you share<br/>
 
Are better left unsaid<br/>
 
When you can give me there<br/>
 
And run your fingers through my hair
 
 
 
CHORUS<br/>
 
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, You could be the one <br/>
 
We can meditate<br/>
 
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, You could be the one<br/>
 
Let's call it fate<br/>
 
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, You could be the one<br/>
 
To get your flowers pressed<br/>
 
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, You could be the one<br/>
 
Just get undressed
 
 
 
I'm so glad to find you here<br/>
 
Mystic people they're so dear<br/>
 
I don't like the rest<br/>
 
Your signs the best<br/>
 
Whatever it is<br/>
 
I'm most impressed<br/>
 
I don't need to understand<br/>
 
The laying on of hands<br/>
 
I'm in a hurry to get my collar straight<br/>
 
Life is short and I can't wait<br/>
 
But don't worry about the state<br/>
 
Of this pretty little thing in the armour plate
 
 
 
CHORUS
 
 
 
I'm so pleased that you believe<br/>
 
Just open up a little let the good times in<br/>
 
We're, going fo a ride<br/>
 
Destiny can't be denied<br/>
 
But all those precious things are better left unsaid<br/>
 
When you can keep me here<br/>
 
And run your fingers though my hair
 
 
 
CHORUS
 
 
 
Love, is all you need.
 

Revision as of 08:43, 11 October 2005

These are songs I've not put the lyrics in yet. If anyone wants to continue as I've been doing with the songs, cut-and-paste from here. I'm leaving out the covers though. Dancingmeerkat 15:54, 28 Sep 2005 (SAST)

Actually, I've moved them to Lyrics to do and lyrics to do (2)
