TO THE MOON AND BACK
She's
taking her time making up the reasons
To
justify all the hurt inside
Guess she
knows from the smiles and the look in their eyes
Everyone's
got a theory about the bitter one
They're
saying, "Mama never loved her much"
And,
"Daddy never keeps in touch
That's
why she shies away from human affection"
But
somewhere in a private place
She
packs her bags for outer space
And
now she's waiting for the right kind of pilot to come
And
she'll say to him
I
would fly to the moon and back if you'll be...
If
you'll be my baby
Got
a ticket for a world where we belong
So
would you be my baby?
She
can't remember a time when she felt needed
If
love was red then she was color blind
All
her friends they've been tried for treason
And
crimes that were never defined
She's
saying, "Love is like a barren place,
And
reaching out for human faith
Is
like a journey I just don't have a map for"
So
baby's gonna take a dive and
Push
the shift to overdrive
Send
a signal that she's hanging
All
her hopes on the stars
What
a pleasant dream
I
would fly to the moon and back if you'll be...
If
you'll be my baby
Got
a ticket for a world where we belong
So
would you be my baby?
Mama
never loved her much
And,
Daddy never keeps in touch
That's
why she shies away from human affection
But
somewhere in a private place
She
packs her bags for outer space
And
now she's waiting for the right kind of pilot to come
And
she'll say to him
I
would fly to the moon and back if you'll be...
If
you'll be my baby
Got
a ticket for a world where we belong
So
would you be my baby?
I
would fly to the moon and back if you'll be...
If
you'll be my baby
Got
a ticket for a world where we belong
So
would you be my baby?
I WANT YOU
Anytime
I need to see your face
I
just close my eyes
And
I am taken to a place where your crystal mind and
Magenta
feelings take up shelter in the base of my spine
Sweet
like a chic-a-cherry cola
I
don't need to try to explain;
I
just hold on tight
And
If it happens again, I might move so slightly
To
the arms and the lips and the face of the human cannonball
That
I need to, I want to
Come
stand a little bit closer
Breathe
in and get a bit higher
You'll
never know what hit you
When
I get to you
Ooh,
I want you
I
don't know if I need you
But,
ooh, I'd die to find out
Ooh,
I want you
I
don't know if I need you
But,
ooh I'd die to find out
I'm
the kind of person who endorses a deep commitment
Getting
comfy getting perfect is what I live for
But
a look, and then a smell of perfume
It's
like I'm down on the floor
And
I don't know what I'm in for
Conversation
has a time and place
In
the interaction of a lover and a mate,
But
the time of talking, using symbols, using words
Can
be likened to a deep sea diver who is swimming with
a raincoat
Come
stand a little bit closer
Breathe
in and get a bit higher
You'll
never know what hit you
When
I get to you
Ooh,
I want you
I
don't know if I need you
But,
ooh, I'd die to find out
Ooh,
I want you
I
don't know if I need you
But,
ooh I'd die to find out
TRULY
MADLY DEEPLY
I'll
be your dream
I'll
be your wish I'll be your fantasy
I'll
be your hope I'll be your love
Be
everything that you need.
I'll
love you more with every breath
Truly,
madly, deeply do
I
will be strong I will be faithful
'Cause
I'm counting on
A
new beginning
A
reason for living
A
deeper meaning
I
want to stand with you on a mountain
I
want to bathe with you in the sea
I
want to lay like this forever
Until
the sky falls down on me
And
when the stars are shining brightly in the velvet sky,
I'll
make a wish to send it to heaven
Then
make you want to cry
The
tears of joy for all the pleasure in the certainty
That
we're surrounded by the comfort and protection of
The
highest powers
In
lonely hours
The
tears devour you
I
want to stand with you on a mountain
I
want to bathe with you in the sea
I
want to lay like this forever
Until
the sky falls down on me
Oh
can't you see it baby?
You
don't have to close your eyes
'Cause
it's standing right here before you
All
that you need will surely come
I'll
be your dream I'll be your wish
I'll
be your fantasy
I'll
be your hope I'll be your love
Be
everything that you need
I'll
love you more with every breath
Truly,
madly, deeply do
I
want to stand with you on a mountain
I
want to bathe with you in the sea
I
want to lay like this forever
Until
the sky falls down on me
TEARS OF
PEARLS
And we stare
each other down like victims in the grind
Probing all
the weakness and hurt still left behind and we cry
The
tears of pearls
We
do it. Oh we do it.
Is
love really the tragedy the way you might describe?
Or
would a thousand lovers still leave you cold inside?
Make
you cry...
These
tears of pearls
All
these mixed emotions we keep locked away like
stolen pearls
Stolen
pearl devotions we keep locked away from
all the world
Your
kisses are like pearls, so different and so rare
But
anger stole the jewels away and love has left you bare,
Made
you cry...
These
tears of pearls
Well
I could be the tired joker pour my heart to get you in
Sacrifice
my happiness just so I could win
Maybe
cry...
These
tears of pearls
All
these mixed emotions we keep locked away like
stolen pearls
Stolen
pearls devotions we keep locked away from
all the world
We
twist and turn where angles burn
Like
fallen soldiers we will learn
That
once forgotten, twice removed
Love
will be the death...
The
death of you
All
these mixed emotions we keep locked away like
stolen pearls
Stolen
pearls devotions we keep locked away from
all the world
UNIVERSE
Well
I'd like to take you as I find you
Imagine
our clothes are on the floor
Feel
my caress so soft and gentle
So
delicate you cry for more
But
you know baby
You
know baby does it right
And
you know baby does it right
Universe
inside of your heart
You
gotta let me know so you can be free baby
You
wanted it so much, and now that it's over
You
don't know what you want
Put
time in a capsule
Two
minds consensual
Entwined
to perfection
If
we could...
Cuddle
up close
Lay
on my chest now
Listen
my heart beats coming down
If
you get tired you close your eyes now
When
you wake up I won't be found
'Cause
I know baby
I
know you're the nervous kind
With
so much going on in your mind
Universe
inside your heart
You
gotta let me know so you can be free baby
You
wanted it so much, and now that it's over
You
don't know what you want
But
let me tell you that, this time,
I'm
gonna to make you mine
(I
won't let you go)
'Cause
I know, this time
I'm
gonna to make sure I look out for me
'Cause
you know baby
Well
you know baby does it right
And
you know baby does it right
You
will only end up lost in loneliness
And
wake up with the words already on your lips
So
I'll let you go, baby
So
I'll let you go...
Universe
inside your heart
You
gotta let me know so you can be free baby
You
wanted it so much, and now that it's over
You
don't know what you want
CARRY ON
DANCING
The
moonlight...
Shines
down interstellar beams
And
the groove tonight
Is
something more than you've ever seen
The
stars and planets taking shape
A
stolen kiss has come too late
In
the moonlight
Carry
on, keep romancing,
Carry
on, carry on dancing
In
the moonlight
Carry
on, keep romancing,
Carry
on, carry on dancing
You're
never safe 'till you see the dawn
And
if the clock strikes past midnight
The
hope is gone
To
move under...
The
moonlight
Carry
on, keep romancing,
Carry
on, carry on dancing
In
the moonlight
Carry
on, keep romancing,
Carry
on, carry on dancing
Move.
Closer. Passion. Stronger
There's
a magic only two can tell
In
the dark night
Ultra
violet is a wicked spell
The
stars and planets taking shape
A
stolen kiss has come too late
In
the moonlight
Carry
on, keep romancing,
Carry
on, carry on dancing
In
the moonlight
Carry
on, keep romancing,
Carry
on, carry on dancing
Moving
on... Moving all night
VIOLET
If
there's a way that you could be everything you want to be,
Would
you complain that it came to easy?
Just
like the games with you and me
A
resolution hard to see,
But that's O.K. 'cause
I don't see things that are plain to see
I've
got a dream to take you over
Exploding
like a supernova
I'm
gonna crash into your world
And
that's no lie
You
want to give ecstasy delivered with certainty
But
you're afraid that the pleasure won't be needed
In
a way, we're the same two people looking out to sea
For
a wave that would carry all our fantasies
If
there's a way to infiltrate you
Sway
your mind and complicate you
I'm
gonna to crash into your world
And
that's no lie
Let
your body move into the doorway
To
the disco inside your head (Violet)
Wear
a color that you want to cling to
The
color inside your head (Violet)
Contemplate
jealousy intermixed with urgency
A
million things take a damned good shot at you and me
If
there's a way to infiltrate you
Sway
your mind and complicate you
I'm
gonna to crash into your world
And
that's no lie
Let
your body move into the doorway
To
the disco inside your head (Violet)
Wear
a color that you want to cling to
The
color inside your head (Violet)
I'm
gonna take you
I'll
do my best to break you
I'm
gonna take you higher
And
that's no lie
Common
sense is a game many people don't like to play
But
give it in and the moment takes you either way
I've
got a dream to take you over
Exploding
like a supernova
I'm
gonna to crash into your world
And
that's no lie
Let
your body move into the doorway
To
the disco inside your head (Violet)
Wear
a color that you want to cling to
The
color inside your head (Violet)
If there's
a way that you could be everything you want to be,
Would
you complain that it came to easy?
In
a way, we're the same two people looking out to sea
For
a wave that would carry all our fantasies
BREAK
ME SHAKE ME
I
never thought I'd change my opinion again
But
you moved me in a way that I've never known
You
moved me in a way that I've never known
But
straight away you just moved into position again
You
abused me in a way that I've never known
You
abused me in a way that I've never known
So
break me shake me hate me take me over
When
the madness stops then you will be alone
Just
break me shake me hate me take me over
When
the madness stops then you will be alone
So

Well

You
confuse me in a way that I've never known
So
break me shake me hate me take me over
When
the madness stops then you will be alone
Just
break me shake me hate me take me over
When
the madness stops then you will be alone
She
says, "I can help you, but what do you say?"
But
it's not free baby, you'll have to pay
You
just keep me contemplating, that your soul is slowly
fading
God
don't you know I live with a ton of regret?
'Cause
I used to move you in a way that you've never known
But
then I accused you in a way that you've never known
But
you hurt me in a way that I've never known...
Break
me shake me hate me take me over
When
the madness stops then you will be alone
So
won't you break me shake me hate me take me over
When
the madness stops then you will be alone
Listen,

A THOUSAND
WORDS
We
stumble in a tangled web, decaying
friendships almost dead
And
hide behind a mask of lies
We
twist and turn and we avoid, all
hope of salvage now devoid
I
see the truth inside your eyes
So take
all this noise into your brain and send it back again
I'll
bear the cost, shed my skin, call you up and then...
I'll
say the words out loud
You
could resurrect a thousand words to deceive me more
and more
A
thousand words will give the reasons why I
don't need you anymore
Time
manipulates your heart, preconceptions torn apart
Begin
to doubt my state of mind
But
I won't go down on what I said
I
won't retract convictions read
I
may perplex, but I'm not blind
So take
all this noise into your brain and send it back again
I'll
bear the cost, shed my skin, call you up and then...
I'll
say the words out loud
You
could resurrect a thousand words to deceive me more
and more
A
thousand words will give the reasons why I
don't need you anymore
I'll
say the words outloud. I'll
say a thousand words or more
Manipulation.
Fabrication. Conversation. Annihilation
I'll
say a thousand words or more
Damnation.
Frustration. Elevation. Procreation
I'll
say a thousand words or more
You
could resurrect a thousand words to deceive me more
and more
A
thousand words will give the reasons why I
don't need you anymore
PROMISES
Well
don't you know I need a little indulgence?
Listen
to the hunter becoming hunted
Every
day there's a million advances
Don't
be too forceful, you'll ruin your chances
Well
don't you know that time is a broken glass
That
splinters against the wall?
But
the picture is coming back now baby,
And
I want to take it all
Don't
go making all these promises you
know you cannot keep
There's
a time to play a king and a time to be the thief
'Cause
if you're making all these promises you
know you cannot keep
You
know time will be the thief and your
fallen king will end up alone
So
let your body move a little bit closer
Silent
like the sound proceeding a cyclone
Don't
you know that powerful thinking
Can
be a force you don't want to relinquish?
Well
don't you know that,
They
say that hanging on will justify the wait?
But patience and
elated wisdom don't share a common phrase
Don't
go making all these promises you
know you cannot keep
There's
a time to play a king and a time to be the thief
'Cause
if you're making all these promises you
know you cannot keep
You
know time will be the thief and your
fallen king will end up alone
Well,
I'm only hanging on for what goes down (baby)
I'm
floating high and my feet don't touch the ground
I'd
take advantage but I can't see through this charade
So
don't you, don't go make it harder than hell
'Cause
when it comes down to the making
You
better be damned sure you can take it
Hey
baby
Well
don't go making all these promises you
know you cannot keep
There's
a time to play a king and a time to be a thief
'Cause
if your making all these promises you
know you cannot keep
You
know time will be the thief and your
fallen king will end up alone
Time
will be the thief
and
your fallen king will end up...
A
fool, a fool, a lonely sorry fool
Oh
baby, 'cause I told you baby
SANTA MONICA
In
Santa Monica, in the wintertime,
The
lazy streets so undemanding
I
walk into the crowd
In
Santa Monica, you get your coffee from
The
coolest places on the promenade
Where
people dress just so
Beauty
so unavoidable, everywhere you turn
It's
there.
I
sit and wonder what am I doing here?
But
on the telephone line I am anyone
I
am anything I want to be.
I
could be a super model or Norman Mailer
And
you wouldn't know the difference
Or
would you?
In
Santa Monica, all the people got modern names
Like
Jake or Mandy
And
modern bodies too
In
Santa Monica, on the boulevard,
You'll
have to dodge those in-line skaters
Or
they'll knock you down
I
never felt so lonely,
Never
felt so out of place
I
never wanted something more than this
But
on the telephone line I am anyone
I
am anything I want to be
I
could be a super model or Norman Mailer
And
you wouldn't know the difference
On
the telephone line, I am any height
I
am any age I want to be
I
could be a caped crusader, or space invader
And
you wouldn't know the difference
Or
would you?
ALL AROUND
ME
Well
you know every time I look at that expression printed on
the page I think I hear you
Whispering the
magic and the compliments I need so badly
So
baby come on, oh, so baby come on
Now
I've been running circles around the notion that you'll find
me baby
One
day maybe
But
all the psychic powers of suggestion I've been sending
your way
So
can't you hear me say?
I
want your arms all around me
I
want your face, yeah, all around me
I
want your perfume all around me
I
like the way you move and do the funky groove
All
around me I want you, all around me I need you
I
want your arms all around me
I
want your face, yeah, all around me
I
want your perfume all around me
I
like the way you move and do the funky groove
Like
a cold Chardonnay chilled for a day
You're
smooth and crisp and on display
Like
Cartier, Armani, like TAG, Gucci, Versace
In
the middle of the night you're a kiss so long
You're
the only good thing when all is wrong
You're
a magic time reversal clock
You're
the fries on the side with a cherry on top
You're
sleek, velvet, gold lame
Patent
leather, enchante
You're
a legend, you're a glamour queen
God
I'm running out of words but you know what I mean
All
around me I want you, all around me I need you
All
around me I want you, all around me, So
can't you hear me say?
I
want your arms all around me
I
want your face, yeah, all around me
I
want your perfume all around me
I
like the way you move and do the funky groove
I
want your arms all around me
I
want your face, yeah, all around me
I
want your perfume all around me
I
like the way you move and do the funky groove
So
slide into your Jaguar, or Porsche baby, there you are
Well
chop chop darling, au revoir
Pick
your things up, you're a star
Oh
yes, yes you are darling
That's
right. That's right now.

I'LL
BET HE WAS COOL
You
know every once in a while
I
shoot the breeze I spend my time
I
talk about silly things
I
like to talk about Jesus Christ
'Cause
I wonder what would happen if He passed you by
Would
you be scared?
Would
you believe in Him?
Would
you bust your assets to get Him institutionalised?
Well,
I bet He'd be cool
I
bet He'd be damn good looking
I
bet that He'd smell divine
I'm
not talking about Calvin Klein's Obsession
Just
one of those people smell good all the time
There's
no reason why
What
would He wear
Would
He wear Tommy Hilfiger?
Or
prefer Urban Outfitter?
I
don't think so
Well,
I bet He'd like Gaultier
But
you'd never find him in it
I
bet He'd like Gaultier
Lord
I need your protection spend some time in my direction
I
need your protection spend some time in my direction
I
need your protection spend some time in my direction
You
know every once and a while
I
shoot the breeze I spend my time
I
talk about silly things
And
tonight I'd like to talk to you about Jesus Christ
'Cause
I wonder how you'd deal if He just passed you by
I
bet He'd be a star
I
bet my Star Wars figures He would be a movie star
A
Quentin Tarantino next-big-thing
Prima
donna, then He'd appear on Oprah
You
know what? I don't think so
Could
you imagine Him hanging Piccadilly Circus
Time
Square, the walk of fame
At
Christies He could easily become a regular
D'you
know what? I don't think so
I
bet my speeder bike He'd turn His back on all of that
Lord
I need your protection spend some time in my direction
I
need your protection spend some time in my direction
I
need your protection spend some time in my direction
Some
people have just got it
You
know like standing next to Elvis Presley
Well then
multiply that feeling by 1 million and you'll know what
I'm talking about
Well
I'll bet He was cool
Man
I bet that cat was so damn good looking baby yeah
LOVE CAN
MOVE YOU
Get
me through the heart of the freeway
I
got to see the lights up in New York city
I'm
so close I think I can hear the sound of
the taxi siren symphony
Don't
you want to feel amazing?
Baby
you know I do
You'll
get back ten times what you give freely
Like
my mamma told me
Love
can move you take you deeper every time
Can make the darkest
moments feel like heaven's come alive
Love
can move you to a place inside your heart
Where you can fear
no evil acceptance is a natural part of life
Climb
into the heart of the subway
Creepin'
like a snake into New York city
I'm
so close I think I can see those lights
Let
the sun get closer to the ground
Don't
you want to feel amazing?
Baby
you know I do
You'll
get back ten times what you give freely
Like
my mamma told me
Love
can move you take you deeper every time
Can make the darkest
moments feel like heaven's come alive
Love
can move you to a place inside your heart
Where you can
fear no evil acceptance is a natural part of life
It's
about the one thing
It's
about the one thing
It's
not about the kind of shoes you're wearin'
It's
not about religion
And
I breathe the love you've given
And
I feel the love you've hidden
And
though it's cold down here well I can honestly say
I
can still stay
That
love can move you
Love
can move you, baby
Love
can move you
That
love can move you too child
Love
can move you take you deeper every time
Can make the darkest
moments feel like heaven's come alive
Love
can move you to a place inside your heart
Where you can
fear no evil acceptance is a natural part of life
Love
can move you take you deeper every time
Can make the darkest
moments feel like heaven's come alive
Love
can move you to a place inside your heart
Where you can
fear no evil acceptance is a natural part of life
And
I breathe the love you've given
And
I feel the love you've hidden
And
though it's cold down here well I still, I still try
Love
can move you
You
know that love can move you too child
Love
can move you
You
know that love can move you
And
I breathe the love you've given
And
I feel the love you've hidden
It's
cold down here but I still, I still say...
MEMORIES
ARE DESIGNED TO FADE
I'd
never let you down when you're in a fix
I'd
come running when you call
That's
my weakness baby
So
connected are we
You
get your kicks from the ghost of a memory
So
busy turning away from reality baby
That
you just won't let it go
But
memories fade
Yeah
they're designed that way
But
you're so wrapped up in her you don't see straight
Watch
her mangle the truth while you take the bait
So
tell her can't you see?
You're
just turning yourself inside out for no need
This
thing you're using is worse than a photograph
It
picks you up and it turns you inside out now baby
And
it just won't let you go
But
memories fade
Yeah
they're designed that way
She
doesn't love you anymore
Maybe
she did long ago
You're just a slave
to the grind that she grew tired of baby
So
tell her can't you see?
You're
just turning yourself inside out for no need
But
memories fade
Cause
they're designed that way
She
doesn't love you anymore
Maybe
she did long ago
You're just a slave
to the grind that she grew tired of baby
So
tell her can't you see?
You're
just turning yourself
You're
just turning yourself inside out for no need You're
just turning yourself inside out for no need
MINE
I
wait in the darkness.
Frozen
winds surround my face.
In
the cover of darkness I can make belief it's you.
I
feel you like the rain,
I
feel you like a storm cloud building in my heart.
I
wonder if you know the pain, to want the one thing that
you haven't got.
Just
a twist in time ...and you could be mine
Just
a sip of wine ...and you could be mine
Just
a kiss divine...and you could be mine
A
hand brushes by my love.
A
smile fuels a steel inferno
You
don't have to die to leave my world.
Stand
still and you've departed.
It seems I'm not
on your mind and I'm just wasting my time.
I'm
just a fool to believe.
In
the death of the night can you feel me inside?
I
wish that you could conceive..
Just
a twist in time ...and you could be mine
Just
a sip of wine ...and you could be mine
Just
a kiss divine ...and you could be mine
Don't
you leave me in the darkness.
Take
away the pride, all the dignity that's burning inside
Can't
you see I'm standing naked
I'll
bear all the crosses and the crucifixes you can provide
If
you could decide
Just
a twist in time ...and you could be mine
Just
a sip of wine ...and you could be mine
Just
a kiss devine ...and you could be mine
THIS SIDE
OF ME
I
want to move in time with you
I
want to breathe in rhyme with you
I
want to feel the deepest kiss
And
I want to know you feel like this
For
this one time, one time
Let
my body do what it feels
For
just this one time, one time
Let
this fantasy become real
'Cause
I am not afraid to let you see this side of me
I
want to feel your hand in mine
And
I want to feel that rush in my spine
I
want to wear the scent of you
And
do all the things you want me to
For
this one time, one time
Let
my body do what it feels
For
just this one time, one time
Let
this fantasy become real
'Cause
I am not afraid to let you see this side of me
I
feel the danger, the separation
I
want to take your invitation
This
separation it's all around
I
need this side of me
I
want to move in time with you
I
want to breathe in rhyme with you
I
want to stitch my clothes in sin
And
in the dark
I
want to find that door and go within
For
this one time, one time
Let
my body do what it feels
For
just this one time, one time
Let
this fantasy become real
'Cause
I am not afraid to let you see this side of me
I
am not afraid to let you see this side of me
I DON'T CARE
I
ride this train
In
the windswept afternoon
and
the sunlight warms the faces
of
the faithless and the waiting
I
ride this train
but
I need a conversation mozambique

but
I don't care

ride this train
but
I need to make connections

to
get some substance

HOLD ME
Hey yeah
If we can't find a way out of these problems
Then maybe we
don't need this
Standing face to face
Enemies at war we
build defences
And secret hiding places
I might need
you to hold me tonight
I might need you to say it's all right
I might need you
to make the first stand Because
tonight I'm finding it hard to be your man
Hey yeah
More than angry words I hate this silence
It's getting so loud
Well I want to scream
But bitterness has silenced these
emotions
It's getting hard to breathe
So tell me isn't
happiness
Worth more than a gold and diamond ring?
I'm
willing to do anything
To calm the storm in my heart
I've
never been the praying kind
But lately I've been down upon
my knees
Not looking for a miracle
Just a reason to believe
I might need
you to hold me tonight
I might need you to say it's all right
I might need you to make the first stand
Because tonight
I'm finding it hard to be your man
Do you remember
not long ago?
When we used to live for the night-time
Cherish each moment
Now we don't live we exist
We just
run through our lives
So alone
That's why you've got to
hold me
Hey yeah
If we can't find a way out of these
problems
Then maybe we don't need this
Standing face to
face
Enemies at war we build defences
And secret hiding
places
I might need
you to hold me tonight
I might need you to say it's all right
I might need you to make the first stand
'Cause tonight
I'm finding it hard to be your man
I KNEW
I LOVED YOU
Maybe it's
intuition
But some things you just don't question
Like
in your eyes
I see my future in an instant
And there is
goes
I think I've found my best friend
I know that
it might sound more than a little crazy
But I believe
I
knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into
life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting
all my life
There's just
no rhyme or reason
Only this sense of completion
And in
your eyes
I see the missing pieces
I'm searching for
I think I've found my way home
I know that
it might sound more than a little crazy
But I believe
I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into
life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting
all my life
A thousand
angels dance around you
I am complete now that I've found you
I knew I
loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting
all my life
THE BEST
THING
Never want
to fly
Never want to leave
Never want to say what you
mean to me
Never want to run
Frightened to believe
You're the best thing about me
Sometimes
I feel like this is only chemistry
Stuck in a maze searching
for a way to
Shut down turn around feel the ground beneath
me
You're so close where do you end where do I begin?
Always
pushing and pulling
Sometimes sanity takes vacation time on
me
I'm in a daze stumbling bewildered
North of gravity
head up in the stratosphere
You and I roller coaster riding
love
You're the center of adrenaline
And I'm beginning
to understand
Never want
to fly
Never want to leave
Never want to say what you
mean to me
Never want to run
Frightened to believe
You're the best thing about me
Walk on broken
glass make my way through fire
These are the things I would
do for love
Farewell peace of mind kiss goodbye to reason
Up is down the impossible occurs each day
This intoxication
thrills me
I only pray it doesn't kill me
Never want
to fly
Never want to leave
Never want to say what you
mean to me
Never want to run
Frightened to believe
You're the best thing about me
You're the
center of adrenaline
And I'm beginning to understand
You
could be the best thing about me
Never want
to fly
Never want to leave
Never want to say what you
mean to me
Never want to run
Frightened to believe
You're the best thing about me
You could be the best thing
about me
What if you're the best thing about me?
CRASH &
BURN
When you feel
all alone
And the world has turned its back on you
Give
me a moment please to tame your wild wild heart
I know you
feel like the walls are closing in on you
It's hard to find
relief and people can be so cold
When darkness is upon your
door and you feel like you can't take anymore
Let me be
the one you call
If you jump I'll break your fall
Lift
you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to
fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash
then crash and burn
You're not alone
When you feel
all alone
And a loyal friend is hard to find
You're caught
in a one way street
With the monsters in your head
When
hopes and dreams are far away and
You feel like you can't face
the day
Let me be
the one you call
If you jump I'll break your fall
Lift
you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to
fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash
then crash and burn
You're not alone
Because there has
always been heartache and pain and when it's over you'll breathe
again
You'll breathe again
When you feel
all alone
And the world has turned its back on you
Give
me a moment please
To tame your wild wild heart
Let me
be the one you call
If you jump I'll break your fall
Lift
you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to
fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash
then crash and burn
You're not alone
CHAINED TO
YOU
We were standing
all alone you were leaning in to speak to me
Acting like a
mover shaker dancing to Madonna then you kissed me
And I think
about it all the time
Sweet temptation rush all over me
And I think about it all the time
Passion desire so intense
I can't take anymore because
I feel the magic all around you
It's bringing me to my knees
Like a wannabe
I've
got to be chained to you
And when you looked
into my eyes felt a sudden sense of urgency
Fascination casts
a spell and you became more than just a mystery
And I think
about you all time
Is this fate is it my destiny
That
I think about you all the time
I no longer pretend to have
my hand on the wheel because
I feel the magic all around you
It's bringing me to my knees
Like a wannabe
I've
got to be chained to you
I feel the magic building around you
I feel the magic
all around you
It's bringing me to my knees
Like a wannabe
I've got to be chained to you
And I think about
it all the time
And I think about it all the time
Tell
me it's madness I barely know you
We were standing all alone
you were leaning in to speak to me
Ten steps back you're still
a mystery
Acting like a mover shaker dancing to Madonna then
you kissed me
I can't take anymore because
I feel the magic
all around you
It's bringing me to my knees
Like a wannabe
I've got to be chained to you
I feel the magic building
around you
I feel the magic all around you
It's bringing
me to my knees
Like a wannabe
I've got to be chained to
you
Tell me it's madness I barely know you
THE ANIMAL
SONG
When superstars
and cannonballs are running through your head
Television freak
show cops and robbers everywhere
Subway makes me nervous people
pushing me too far
Got to break away so take my hand now because
I want to live like animals
Careless and free like animals
I want to live
I want to run through the jungle the wind
in my hair and the sand at my feet
I've been having
difficulties keeping to myself
Feelings and emotions better
left up on the shelf
Animals and children tell the truth they
never lie
Which
one is more human? There's
a thought now you decide
Compassion in the jungle
Compassion
in your hands
Would you like to make a run for it?
Would
you like to take my hand?
I want to
live like animals
Careless and free like animals
I want
to live
I want to run through the jungle the wind in my hair
and the sand at my feet
Sometimes this life can get you down
It's so confusing there's so many rules to follow
But
I don't feel it because I just run away in my mind
When superstars
and cannonballs are running through your head
Television freak
show cops and robbers everywhere
Animals and children tell the
truth they never lie
Which one is more human there's a thought
now you decide
Compassion in the jungle
Compassion in
your hands
Would you like to make a run for it?
Would
you like to take my hand?
I want to live like animals
Careless and free like animals
I want to live
I want to
run through the jungle the wind in my hair and the sand at my feet
THE LOVER
AFTER ME
Here I go
again I promised myself I wouldn't think of you today
It's
been seven months and counting
You've moved on I still feel
exactly the same
It's just that everywhere I go all the buildings
know your name
Like photographs and memories of love
Steel
and granite reminders
The city calls your name and I can't
move on
Ever since you've been gone
The lights go out
the same
The only difference is
You call another name
To your love, to your lover now
To your love, the lover
after me
Am I all alone in the universe?
There's no love
on these streets
I have given mine away to a world that didn't
want it anyway
So this is my new freedom
It's funny
I don't remember being chained
But nothing seems to make sense
anymore
Without you I'm always twenty minutes late
Ever
since you've been gone
The lights go out the same
The
only difference is
You call another name
To your love
To your lover now
To your love
The lover after me
And time goes by so slowly
The nights are cold and lonely
I shouldn't be holding on
But I'm still holding on for
you
Here I go again
I promised myself
I wouldn't think of you today
But
I'm standing at your doorway
I'm calling out your name because
I can't move on
Ever since you've been gone
The lights
go out the same
The only difference is
You call another
name
To your love
To your lover now
To your love
The lover after me
TWO
BEDS AND A COFFEE MACHINE
And she takes
another step
Slowly she opens the door
Check that he is
sleeping
Pick up all the broken glass and furniture on the
floor
Been up half the night screaming now it's time to get
away
Pack up the kids in the car
Another bruise to try
and hide
Another alibi to write
Another ditch in the road
You keep moving
Another stop sign
You keep moving
on
And the years go by so fast
Wonder how I ever made
it through
And there are children to think of
Baby's asleep
in the back seat
Wonder how they'll ever make it through this
living nightmare
But the mind is an amazing thing
Full
of candy dreams and new toys and another cheap hotel
Two beds
and a coffee machine
But there are groceries to buy
And
she knows
she'll have
to go home
Another ditch in the road
You keep moving
Another stop sign
You keep moving on
And the years go
by so fast
Wonder how I ever made it through
Another bruise
to try and hide
Another alibi to write
Another lonely
highway in the black of night
But there's hope in the darkness
You know you're going to make it
Another ditch in the
road
Keep moving
Another stop sign
You keep moving
on
And the years go by so fast
Silent fortress built to
last
Wonder how I ever made it
YOU
CAN STILL BE FREE
Cool breeze
and autumn leaves
Slow motion daylight
A lone pair of
watchful eyes
Oversee the living
Feel the presence all
around
A tortured soul
A wound unhealing
No regrets
or promises
The past is gone
But you can still be free
If time will set you free
Time now to spread
your wings
To take to flight
The life endeavour
Aim
for the burning sun
You're trapped inside
But you can
still be free
If time will set you free
But it's a long
long way to go
Keep moving way
up high
You see the light
It shines forever
Sail
through the crimson skies
The purest light
The light that
sets you free
If time will set you free
Sail through the
wind and rain tonight
You're free to fly tonight
And you
can still be free
If time will set you free
And going
higher than mountain tops
And go high the wind don't stop
And go high
Free to fly to tonight
Free to fly tonight
GUNNING
DOWN ROMANCE
Love and other
moments are just chemical reactions in your brain
And feelings
of aggression are the absence of the love drug in your veins
In your veins
Love come quickly
Because I feel my self
esteem is caving in
It's on the brink
Love come quickly
Because I don't think I can keep this monster in
It's
in my skin
Love and other
socially acceptable emotions are morphine
They're morphine
Cleverly concealing primal urges often felt but rarely seen
Rarely seen
Love I beg you
Lift me up into that privileged
point of view
The world of two
Love don't leave me
Because I console myself that Hallmark cards are true
I really
do
I'm gunning down
romance
It never did a thing for me
But heartache and
misery
Ain't nothing but a tragedy
Love don't leave
me
Take these broken
wings
I'm going to take these broken wings
And learn to
fly
And learn to fly away
And learn to fly away
I'm gunning down
romance
I
DON'T KNOW YOU ANYMORE
I
would like to visit you for a while Get
away and out of this city
Maybe I shouldn't have called but
someone had to be the first to break
We can go sit on your
back porch relax
Talk about anything
It don't matter
I'll be courageous if you can pretend that you've forgiven me
Because I don't
know you anymore
I don't recognise this place
The picture
frames have changed and so has your name
We don't talk much
anymore
We keep running from the pain
But
what I wouldn't give to see your face again
Springtime in
the city
Always such relief from the winter freeze
The
snow was more lonely than cold if you know what I mean
Everyone's
got an agenda
Don't stop keep that
chin up you'll be all right
Can you believe what a year it's been
Are
you still the same?
Has
your opinion changed?
Because I don't know you anymore
I don't
recognise this place
The picture frames have changed and so has your name
We
don't talk much anymore
We keep running from these sentences
But what I wouldn't give
to see your face again
I know I let you
down
Again and again
I know I never really treated you
right
I've paid the price I 'm still paying for it every day
So maybe I shouldn't
have called
Was it too soon to tell
What the hell, it doesn't
really matter
How do you redefine someone who never really had
a name ?
Has your opinion changed ?
Cause I don't know you
anymore
I
don't recognise this place
The picture frames have changed and so has your name
We
don't talk much anymore
We keep running from these sentences
But what I wouldn't give
to see your face again
I see you face
I see your face
