(Dokken, Brown, Pilson)
Picture yourself in a river drowning inside your heart
Finding there is no tomorrow only this place that you are
That you are alone in your darkness let your spirit go
When judgement comes it'll lay by the side of the road
By the road
Leaving all the worlds behind it seems so vain to me
Think' bout the past I only see my broken youth
Locked inside a world where only liars seem to live
Not a chance for happiness
His mother's checkered past
Psychologically induced by all the things he'd seen
What the hell is going on inside
Chorus
Thou shall not give unto life without love
What price for life
For ye shall open the scar of the wound
What price for truth
Thou shall not take from the weaker mankind
What price for youth
Fate begets sorrow the trail of doom
I can see the visions it's emitting from you mind
Dig another grave so I can bury you alive
You're a poison ocean that's been running through the rye
What the hell is going on inside
What price for life
What price for truth
What price for youth
Chorus
Schizophrenic symptoms of a problem in your past
Handed down to newborn generations to be cast
Take your friend's emotions and dissolve it with a lie
Put your plague to rest when you fall down and fucking die
And the mother cried
And the child cried
And the father replied
I guess I went to far
I guess I went to far
I guess I went to far
Then he heard a voice and it said
";Now it's time to go, your soul is getting cold
I'm gonna leave your spirit dead by the side of the road";
Still the child cried on and on
(Lynch, Dokken)
This town I'm in can't take no more
Decadance is silly
You were my woman
Why'd you have to be so hard and cold
(Chorus 1)
Paris is burning
Want to see it from afar
Paris is burning
Want to get to where you are
My life's in ruin
The girl I love
She's far away
The distant fire
Brings memories of the love
That I once knew
Where are you now
Been looking all around
And I can't stay
Help me now
I can't stay
Much more before I fade away
(Chorus 2)
Paris is burning
Want to see it from afar
Paris is burning
Get back where you are
(Solo)
I can't believe
You'd throw it all away
You know you played me for a fool
I'm leavin' now
This time you know
That I'll be gone for good, yeah
(Chorus 2)
Paris is burning, Paris
Paris is burning
Paris is burning
Want to see it from afar
Paris is burning
Contradiction it's an expedition into darkness
Aggravation is the inspiration into madness
Soon the day will come when all the world will finally see
It's a matter of time / the sand will run out
Waiting for the rising sun
Erase the Slate
Erase the Slate
My religion is a mind condition as it turns out
Hesitating while my soul sits waiting through my blackout
Soon the day will come down when I'll reflect on all those years
My perfect world / sublime and surreal
Waiting for the rising sun
Erase the Slate
Erase the Slate
Erase the Slate
Erase the Slate
Time and time remember when
Life forgave my call
Too much pride / could not repent
Can't escape at all
Erase the Slate
Erase the Slate
Erase the Slate
And start again
Erase the Slate[Erase the Slate]
Erase the Slate
And start all over again
Erase the Slate
Talk to me 'bout fantasy
You talk to me 'bout love
You filled me with empty promises
You promised sky above
You ask me what I'd do for you
Give my life and more
But would it keep you satisfied
Baby I'm not sure
I change myself most everyday
But you don't reply
How can we survive
I can't Change the World
If I tried would it make you happy
I can't Change the World
This timeI can't Change the World
From soft lips you speak to me
How's it gonna be
Everyday's a different story
Changing all the time
You come to me with promises
I listen as you speak
But the promise that you want the most
Is not for me to keep
You leave me on this withered vine / now
Stripped away and torn
Left with only fantasy
Dreams of nevermore
I can't Change the World
If I tried would it make you happy
This timeI can't Change the World
Never said that I held the answers
I can't Change the World
I'd give my spirit if you tried
A fortune lost a heart denied
I come to you in your sleep
My heart is yours for only you to keep
And when the days they pass me you will see
I can't Change the World
If I tried would it make you happy
I can't Change the World
This time
I can't Change the World
I never said I held the answers
I can't Change the World
This time
I can't Change the World
(Dokken)
Sun shine on me
You were my sunflower, yeah
Been a long cold winter
Summer's come and gone
Your words were so bitter
My resurrection's just begun
Dead of winter
No pain only borrowed
You drink from my soul
You'll taste bitter sorrow
They say the sun won't shine
Where I'm going
It's too late to change my mind
It's over
[Sweet chains]
[Sweet chains]
You were the one that took me there
All the king's horses
And all the king's men
Never gonna put my love
Back into your arms again
They say the sun won't shine
Where I'm going
The bitter sorrow chimes
[Sweet chains]
[Sweet chains]
[Sweet chains]
[Sweet chains]
You were the one that took me there
Tears of joy for a soul that had died
A soul, kept for so long in fear of it's passing
So would he or at least, so would he have believed
Revelation came late and unexpected
The soul dies only to be reborn a birth of pain and peace
The pain of knowing the hurt it had brought to so many
Revelation...
The peace of life unfolding through eyes anew
A chance of finding the truth
Or at least, so would we have believed
(Dokken)
Liar
Deceiver
Mistreater
You, you are the one I wanna know
Oh, I gotta go
I gotta get away from here
'Cause you, you're not the one
I realize
Oh, when will I know
Waiting for the last show
When you tell me lies
It's in your eyes
You're a liar
You are
You're a liar
Wait
Always alone
You never would come home
So, I gotta go
I gotta get away from here
Oh, when will I know
Waiting for the last show
When you tell me lies
It's in your eyes
It's in your eyes
It's in your eyes
Liar
Sinner
You, you're not the one
You're a liar
Oh, when will I know
Waiting for the last show
When you tell me lies
It's in your eyes
It's in your eyes
It's in your eyes
Liar
One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
Two can be as bad as one
It's the loneliest number since the number one-uh
No is the saddest experience that you'll ever know
Yes it's the saddest experience you'll ever know
Cuz one is the loneliest number / that you'll ever do
One is the loneliest number / wouldn't work for two
One is the loneliest number
One is the loneliest number
One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
It's just no good anymore since you went away
Now I spend my time / making rhymes of yesterday
One is the loneliest number
One is the loneliest number
One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
It's just no good anymore since you went away
[Number] One is the loneliest number
[Number] One is the loneliest number
[Number] One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
[Number] One is the loneliest number
[Number] One is the loneliest number
[Number] One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
You - you took me to a place I'd never been
High - much higher than before
Now - the vision of you haunting me again
Your spirit chills me to the core
Sing to me / Your twisted melody
Mesmerized / It never seems to end
Another Haunted Lullabye
I don't know the reason or the rhyme
Another Haunted Lullabye
Steal away the cradle in my mind
Gone - and left me with insatiable desire
Still - I can't escape your trance
Take - your pleasure when you play with my lament
You cast a shadow bound romance
Sing to me / Your symphony of woe
Deafening / oh will it ever end
Another Haunted Lullabye
I don't know the reason or the rhyme
Another Haunted Lullabye
Steal away the cradle in my mind
I can't stand the way your silence leaves me broken
And my loneliness is playing on the strings of my despair
Another Haunted Lullabye
I don't know the reason or the rhyme
Another Haunted Lullabye
Steal away the cradle in my mind
I been left in the crossfire / sacrificed to love and hate
Out of ammunition to regain my mental state
I found myself adrift upon an endless sea
Of lies and bitterness / horizon out of reach
I see the starts that shine / Reflection in the waves
I need to find that distant shore
Before I Drown
Slip beneath the waves and Drown
Takes me to my grave
Of love and heartache / there's got to be a way
That I can save myself before I Drown
Too much conversation can erode our little minds
My emancipation comes with solitude at night
As the world sleeps / I contemplate all that's been done
I profess no innocence / I've held - held that smoking gun
I found myself atop a sea of ocean blue
Cast from a world that left me too
To Drown
Slip beneath the waves and Drown
Takes me to my grave
Of love and heartache / there's got to be a way
That I can save myself before I Drown
I'll Drown
Slip beneath the waves and Drown
Takes me to my grave
And Drown
From the pouring rain
Of love and heartache / there's got to be a way
I can save myself
Save myself Before I Drown
There's a girl next door with a leather coat
And she looks pretty good to me
My friends all say that you better watch out
There's a side of her you haven't seen
Still I took a ride / it was late at night
We were cruising along on her motorbike
Everything was right / til Crazy Mary went down
So let me tell you about Mary
[Mary] Crazy Mary Goes Round
Let me tell you about Mary
[Mary] Crazy Mary Goes Round and round
Round and round
Called my doctor and I tried to explain
Cuz it didn't make sense to me
Seven different sides and I've seen them all
One for everyday of the week
She gave me a scare / she was combing her hair
A long conversation there was nobody there
Does anybody know / what Mary's talking about
So let me tell you about Mary
[Mary] Crazy Mary Goes Round
Let me tell you about Mary
[Mary] Crazy Mary Goes Round
So let me tell you about Mary
[Mary] Crazy Mary Goes Round and round
Round and round
[Mary] Crazy Mary Goes Round
Funny thing about Mary
[Mary] Crazy Mary Goes Round and round
Round and round
Round and round
(Dokken, Lynch)
We sold our sons and we sold our daughters
Pretty soon we'll sell our brothers
We took the gold, but the gold was water
I tried to save the world, but I failed her
She cries the tears that I never left her
I left them all behind
You were sitting in your darkest hour
Summer's gone
We tried to make the world so much better
We send our words in a pretty perfumed letter
You sit alone in your ivory towers
I'm just one person, I don't matter
You tap the needle, and you went to heaven
You left it all behind
Now you're feeling oh so better
Chorus
Too high to fly
You should've seen me there (Yeah)
Too high to fly, my baby
But you were almost there
The sun shines down on my face
But you don't feel a thing (no, no, no)
The lines on the street, and the some rises
You looked too long for heaven, now you're blinded, baby
Another morning sun
Another day gone by
The storm's coming
With the pouring rain
Chorus 2
The storm comes with the pouring rain (Salvation)
The lines in the street, and the smoke rises
Wanderin' round for forty days, hope you find it
Chorus 3
(Dokken, Pilson, Lynch)
Down these halls with many doors
Around each corner, right back where I started
Deep inside my mind it seems
I try to find an open door to go through
So they can see
I'm all right
Wanderin' round inside without a key
Watching with these open eyes
Locked inside the place that no one sees
Talking with eternity, trying to explain
Chorus
Why I'm stuck inside the maze
All the corners look the same
Thought I'd finally found the way
But I'm right back where I started
Now I'm stuck inside the maze
All the corners look the same
Thought I'd finally found the way
Another door, an empty room
No one seems to have been here for some time
Where have they gone
An endless world of corridors
Searching for the one that finds the way
They look the same
I remain
Wanderin' round inside without a key
Watching with these open eyes
Locked inside the place that no one sees
Talking to eternity, trying to explain
Chorus 2
Down these halls with many doors
Around each corner, right back where I started
Deep inside my mind it seems
I try to find an open door to go through
So they can see
I'm all right
Chorus 3
Now I'm stuck inside the maze
All the corners look the same
Now I'm right back where I started
Another door, anorther room
I've been this way before
All the corners look the same
(Now I'm stuck inside the maze)
Now I'm stuck inside the maze
(All the corners look the same)
All the corners look the same
Now I'm stuck inside the maze
All the corners look the same
(Dokken, Pilson, Lynch)
Too many days come and go
Can't find a reason to go outside
Too many things running through my mind
Brings me down for the hundredth time
Has it all been said and done
I try to find some piece of mind
Searching everywhere
For all the answers taht I can't find
Doesn't really matter
It's hard to rise above
You might find me
In a downward spin
My wings are all aflame
Saw the world beneath me
Wonder where I'm gonna hit
I try to embrace the sun
But it's hard to fly
When you just wanna die
Chorus
Thought I knew where I was going
(It's hard to see)
Thought I knew where I'd been
(it should have been so simple)
Caught in a world unforgiven
(it could have been me)
Caught in between the lesser of two evils
Sail the sea of indecision
Tried to find a reason why
Just like staring at a picture
I watched the world go by
I hear whispers in the darkness
From the voices that I locked away
Chorus 2
I tried to touch the sun, yeah
But it just kept getting colder
I tried to find my soul, yeah
But he said, son you ain't getting any closer
Chorus 3
(Dokken, Pilson)
Let go of your mind
And see what there is to see
It can be real
Not just a fantasy
Open your eyes
And leave the world behind
Open your mind
Come along for the ride
Do what you want to do
Be what you want to be
Do what you want to do
It's just a short trip from reality
Chorus
I'm on the inside
Looking outside
I'm on the inside looking out
I'm going somewhere
Feeling nowhere
I'm on the inside looking out
I can't be free
Till I know what free is
I can't be me
Till I know who I am
Do you believe
There's more than what you see
All that we need
Is some free association
Painted pictures in a room of glass
Looking throught the floor above
Don't know what has brought me to this place
Ectasy confused by love
Chorus 2
I'm on the inside
(In the dark so long
What's been going on
Come and look inside my mind)
Looking outside
It's up to you
You can make the changes
You make your dreams come true
What will you do if you don't start
Rearranging the things that you do
It's all up to you
Chorus 3
In the middle of the night you
know I heard the voices call
said they'd try to ease me through my pain
then I started to question
am I sane or confused
don't think that I will ever know
CHORUS
It's hard to believe
that the sun still sets without you
I was so afraid to let you know
It's hard to believe
that the world still turns without you
I was so afraid to let you go
I was starting to believe
that I was destined for the worst
It was all the life I'd ever know
It was getting to the point that I'd
thought I'd not return
I was so unsure of where I'd go
CHORUS
It's hard to believe
that the sun still sets without you
I was so afraid to let you know
It's hard to believe
that the world still turns without you
I was so afraid to let you go
In the middle of the night
sometimes I hear the voices call
don't think that I will ever know
CHORUS
It's hard to believe
that the sun still sets without you
I was so afraid to let you know
It's hard to believe
that the world still turns without you
I was so afraid to let you go
Tried to go to sleep last night
But too many things were in my head
Then the sun began to rise
Still I haven't gone to bed
Why do all these questions dance around inside my head
All I want to do is close my eyes and go to bed
Let tomorrow bring the answers that I need instead
And let it go / let it go
Is there anybody Who Believes
That the questions and the answers will come easily
And this sadness that I felt will finally set me free
Set me free / set me free
Hope that I can sleep tonight
Close my eyes and slip away
Dream about some other place
Where the sun shines in my head
Out of all the people in my life I love you more
And I hope that time will find a way to make it sure
That we stay one and the same
Is there anybody Who Believes
That the questions and the answers will come easily
And this sadness that I felt will finally set me free
Set me free - Set me free
You're the only person in my life
And I hope that time will find a way to make it right
And whatever happens you will know
I love you more
Is there anybody Who Believes
That the questions and the answers will come easily
And this sadness that I felt will finally set me free
Talking to my rabbit friend he seems so bright indeed
A conversation over tea
Then he told me / I'm standing all alone
There's a crowd of people eating at my throne
Is it just me / is it just you
Or is it everyone
I want the ordinary life
When the sky is dark I feel like it's light
I want the ordinary life
I must confess / I'm the Maddest Hatter
Of them all
And it's so contrary that I know I shouldn't
Watch the rainbows circle my friend Mary
I wish that I could fly so I can see much more
I wish that I could see things
Like the others do
If it's just me / then it's just you
I'm not the only one
I want the ordinary life
When the sky is dark I feel like it's light
I want the ordinary life
I must confess / I'm the Maddest Hatter
Of them all
I want the ordinary
I wanna be with my friend Mary
I want the ordinary life
When the sky is dark I feel like it's light
I want the ordinary life
I must confess / I'm the Maddest Hatter
Of them all
I want the ordinary life
When the sky is dark I feel like it's light
I want the ordinary life
I must confess / I'm the Maddest Hatter
I lit a candle in your honor today
Prayed for forgiveness for the things that I said
And now I wake up and see I was wrong
All those years wasted / now come and gone
How many years have I been this way
The lines grow deeper / time fades away
Now etched in stone don't have the strength anymore
To break down these walls again
I lit a candle In Your Honor today
Everything will come around again
And you never know that maybe someday
Everything will come around again
Now I see you on the other side
Sunshine raining down upon your face
You look so beautiful that place where you live
You walk among your dreams we talked about
So I stand here and I stare
In my garden of neglect
Never noticed it before
That it's winter all the time
Was too busy staring at
Your garden that you grew in time
I can see it took a lot of years
Your colors fill my mind
I lit a candle In Your Honor today
Everything will come around again
And you never know that maybe someday
Everything will come around again
Even though the years keep passing / I reflect
About the one I truly loved and pushed away
Suddenly I stop and feel
That winter rain I know so well
And close my eyes
Wish you all the best
And you never know
I lit a candle In Your Honor today
Everything will come around
And you never know that maybe someday
Everything will come around
I lit a candle In Your Honor today
Prayed for forgiveness for the things that I said
And you never know that maybe someday
(Dokken)
Felony
In tight blue jeans
I did not know
She was so sweet
Felony
What ya did ta me
The judge said sorry
First degree
(Chorus)
You're here in my heart
Felony
You're here in my heart
Felony, felony, felony, yeah
Felony, felony, felony
Well I was shot down
By a heart so cruel
You were were laughin' yeah
You took me for a fool
I'm struck down
Left lyin' in the dirt
I never knew
How much love it hurts
(Chorus)
(Solo)
Harvard paid
Detective man
I'm in his sights
I'm on the run
Those tight blue jeans
That drove me wild
I did not know
She was just a child
Felony, yeah
(Chorus)
Felony, felony, felony
Darlin' -don't let me go
until the last train rides
I wanna stay with you
when the morning comes
and it's time to rise
but I can't lift my head - baby let me die
release the sorrow - deep within my eyes
life's only borrowed
CHORUS
Don't build your world with bitter regret
'cuz I still feel it's not over yet
what we've done we'll have to forget
or all you'll reap is bitter regret
Wonderin' -how this came to pass
why my future runs through the hourglass
talk to me - 'cuz I can't lift my head
anti-social suicide lyin' on my bed
release the sorrow - deep within my eyes
life's only borrowed
CHORUS
'cuz I still feel it's not over yet
what we've done you'll have to forget
or all we'll reap is bitter regret
[Talkin' to my friend misfortune
take me for a ride
how I wish that I could only
give you back your life again]
Darlin' - I wanna stay with you
'til the morning comes
and that last train rides
I'm walkin' down these dark streets - all alone
a light ahead free coffee if you have no home
a parking lot full of people - same as me
waiting for the Messiah - his shift will start at three
CHORUS
He's a real convenience store messiah
idol worship for an idle mind
he's a real convenience store messiah
turning bottled water into win
waiting for the papers to come outside
they make such nice warm blankets - get in line
sometimes he might let us - stay inside
the only one who will listen
he can be so kind
CHORUS
He's a real convenience store messiah
idol worship for an idle mind
he's a real convenience store messiah
turning bottled water into wine
(They see through eyes)
looking through his window
(a glowing light)
staring at his vision late at night
(they idolize, they realize)
reaching out their hands
CHORUS
He's a real convenience store messiah
idol worship for an idle mind
he's a real convenience store messiah
turning bottled water into wine
wait for me behind
the walls behind the sky
revolution finds
the road to ease our minds
can we walk outside and
leave our fragile pride
within the holes forever
deeper we must hide
shattered pictures of
a moment lost in time
between the cracks in the ground
between the cracks in the ground
I see a painted face
through a colored haze
an enchanted place
its time to sail away
In my eyes I've lived a life
that's so surreal
my imagination questions what is real
shadows spinning in my mind
just like a wheel
between the cracks in the ground
between the cracks in the ground
passing through the doors
I stop to close them one by one
looking through the keyholes far behind
Life is a mystery
Leaves me no consolation
Life fades like distant waves
Return again
No need to hide
Soon you'll be born again
A new chance to live
And walk that road to the end
It must be the sign of the times how I feel
Now I surrender the day
It must be the sign of the times how I feel
And I hope that you feel the same
Love is a mystery
That gives up no secrets
Embraces everyone
No hesitation
We try to find religion
How many books can we read
We look for love and romance
How hard can it be
It must be the sign of the times how I feel
Now I surrender the day
It must be the sign of the times how I feel
And I hope that you feel the same
In a way - we lost our innocence
In a day - we'll walk that road to the end
It must be the sign of the times how I feel
Now I surrender the day
It must be the sign of the times how I feel
In the way I look at you
It must be the sign of the times how I feel
I can feel that there's been a change
It must be the sign of the times how I feel
Lonely / why do I feel this way
If you're so in love with me / why do you stay away
Heartache / breaking down my pride
The closer that I get to you the more I hurt inside
Feeling I've been wrong about you
Try to justify
I'm feeling empty inside
I see the heartache you hide in your eyes
I'm feeling empty inside
Shattered
Shattered / trying to get to you
Left my heart in broken pieces / haven't been so true
Leave me / in my barren world
When I try to give you all I hear the cry of love
There's no words and there's no time for
All the reasons why
I'm feeling empty inside
I see the heartache you hide in your eyes
I'm feeling empty inside
Shattered
I'm feeling empty inside
I see the heartache you hide in your eyes
I'm feeling empty inside
Shattered
Spoken word: Yellow walls / I light another cigarette
Rainbow dreams crossing through my eyes
Shattered pictures in my mind
Love lost / lorn
There's no reason you can't understand me now
There's no point in living up among the clouds
Tiny innuendoes circling your mind
Come to find out you've been left so far
Left so far behind
And all the time you thought it's turning out so well
You turned your back on me
And wished me straight to hell
(That's where I'll go if you want me to)
I'll see you there
(I'll see you there when your life is through)
I'll see you there
Soaring higher now you're bound to come unglued
You're supported by a love that was untrue
Write your story on a single grain of sand
Heed the warning when you let go
Let go of my hand
A promised kiss upon your lips for not to tell
You turned your back on me
And wished me straight to hell
(That's where I'll go if you want me to)
I'll see you there
(I'll see you there when your life is through)
I'll see you there
So write your story on a single grain of sand
Heed the warning when you let go
Let go of my hand
A promised kiss upon your lips for not to tell
You turned your back on me
And wished me straight to hell
(That's where I'll go if you want me to)
I'll see you there
(I'll see you there when your life is through)
I'll see you there
(That's where I'll go if you want me to)
I won't care
(I'll see you there when your life is through)
I'll see you there
I'll see you there
Can you see the soul / through a window in your mind
Can you see the darkness that was left me over time
Bordering on sadness / no tranquility
Look through my mirror and you'll see
[So long] A vision come and gone
[Inside] Nothing was clear
Saving grace / Forgotten road
I was lost / but now I'm home
Saving grace / a ray of hope
When I hear a Voice of the Soul
Sold my religion / sold my candles too
Knees have been bleeding / praying over you
I search the heavens / all I ever see
Dust from the ashes / misery
[Rise up] Sleeping with misfortune
[Temptation] A mirror of myself
Saving grace / Forgotten road
I was lost / but now I'm home
Saving grace / a ray of hope
When I hear a Voice of the Soul
When the light shines above me
And casts a shadow of myself
Look to skies that surround me
Embrace the one that speaks inside
Delivered unto self
Saving grace a ray of hope
When I hear the voice [Of the soul]
[Voice of the Soul]
Saving grace
[Voice of the Soul]
When I hear the voice
(Dokken, Pilson)
There were days when we were closer
You were all I had
Lost a soul, but not forgotten
Had to give it back
Lost, feeling so lost
No more tears can we shed
And time slipping through our minds
Wishing I could forget
Chorus
Guess there's nothing left to say
Guess there's nothing left to say
(Nothing left to say)
When there's nothing left
Memories of the days now passing
Still they come and go
Visions of a word we tried to say
We didn't know, we were
Lost, feeling so lost
No more tears can we shed
And time, slipping through our minds
Wishing I could forget
Chorus
Guess there's nothing left to say
Guess there's nothing left to say
(Nothing left to say)
Guess there's nothing left to say
(Nothing left to say)
When there's nothing left
There were other days
When I believed we'd make it through
I was such a fool
For the way it used to be
Now it's time to set you free
Chorus
Guess there's nothing left to say
Guess there's nothing left to say
When there's nothing left
(Dokken, Pilson, Lynch)
Sitting in the crossfire all alone
Waiting for a world to show the way
Tried to find a rose without a thorn
Such a foolish notion fades away
[If it's all] in my mind
Then why does it feel
Like there isn't any time
Walk the road [Follow the madness]
Of someone's path
Search for self [Well it doesn't mean you're wrong]
If you can
'Cause it's gonna be ['Cause it's gonna be]
A long way home
Wandering through the maze of all the fears
In the mind it makes no sense at all
Tell me not what I'm supposed to do
Crucify you christ without my cross
If it's all in my mind
Then why does it feel
Like I'm running out of time
Walk the road [Follow the madness]
Of someone's path
Search for self [Well it doesn't mean you're wrong]
If you can
'Cause it's gonna be ['Cause it's gonna be]
A long way home
Mythical past
Future behind me, shattered
I could not be
Someone beside
Take back my soul, my soul
Walk the road [Follow the madness]
Of someone's path
Search for self [Well it doesn't mean you're wrong]
If you can
'Cause it's gonna be
A long way home
So -- so incomplete
we look into the world -- find no peace
once -- it seemed serene
we'd be forever young and so it seemed
what does it mean -- I find no answers
kept in a dream -- soft colored layers
I see myself through the looking glass
a shade of gray
a shade of black
no ups or downs
just in betweens
The gentle rain begins to fall
come with me and see it all
Rise above the world upon my wings
I was sleeping with the
sky beneath my feet
Now I drift endless and free
with the wind that carries me
what does it mean -- what does it matter
kept in a dream with soft colored layers
The gentle rain begins to fall
come with me and see it all
Rise above the world
upon my wings
I was sleeping with the
sky beneath my feet
(Dokken, Pilson)
Tale of woe open up my eyes
Keeping me from the other side
Satisfy what my soul believes
If it could only see
On a red sky
In a green sea
On a black night
I fell to my knees
Save it for the innocent
Save it for the cruel
And leave it in the shadows of life
On a ship full of hopes and dreams
Took a trip down to misery
Realized that I'd been before
I found it hard to believe
On a red sky
In a green sea
On a black night
I fell to my knees
Save it for the innocent
Save it for the cruel
And leave it in the shadows of life
Read between the lines
These are angry times
Save it for the innocent
Save it for the cruel
And leave it in the shadows of life
Clouds roll by as I look to the sky
And then the feeling comes, it comes on again
You know desire burns like a fire, fire of sin
Oh, will I ever learn
You're the only one I could call my own
But then the shadows fall and I'm gone again
I'm a hunter
Searching for love
On these lonely streets again
I'm the hunter
Searching for things
That I might never find again
Care for you, you know that I always will
I know it's hard for you, my taste for the kill
But then it calls to me when the moon rises full in the sky
You know it's not denied
Will I ever find love and peace of mind
On these streets again, will it ever end
I'm a hunter
Searching for love
On these lonely streets again
I'm the hunter
Searching for things
That I might never find again
You know desire burns like a fire, fire within
I guess I'll never learn
You're the only one I could call my own
But when the shadows fall, you know I won't be home
I'm a hunter
Searching for love
On these lonely streets again
I'm the hunter
Searching for the things
That I might never find again
I'm a hunter
Searching for love
I'm the hunter
Searching for the things
Like a whisper, you came in the night
Gone forever, seems you were right
Long ago, thought it was real
Should've believed love's not forever
I'm slippin' away
Can't seem to hold on
I'm slippin' away
Darkness comes, so cold
Gentle one, so soft and warm
I tried to touch you, I meant you no harm
I'm slippin' away
Can't seem to hold on
I'm slippin' away
Darkness comes, so cold
I'm slippin' away
Can't seem to hold one
Save me
Save me
Save me
Like a whisper, you came in the night
Gone forever, seems you were right
Long ago, I thought it was real
I should've believed that love's not forever
I'm slippin' away
Can't seem to hold on
I'm slippin' away
I just can't hold on
I'm slippin' away
Darkness comes, so cold
I'm slippin' away
The lights go down
You can feel it all around you
Like a razor's edge that cuts through the air
You can hear the sound
It's coming down like thunder
You don't have to tell me why
You don't have to care
When the lightnin' strike again
And the lights go down
And you might be near the end
When the lightnin' strikes again
You draw the line
And you leave it all behind you
You lost your mind and then you lose control
By the time
That you feel the lightnin' strike you
You know you've been holding back
I didn't know you, but I could see it in your eyes
Shattered dreams and hopes, you'd been hurt too many times
Well I've heard your past from a friend I'd seen today
Told me of your heart, that you had been away
How I wish I could take you away
I would show you that my love's not the same
But I see I've found you too late
Jaded heart
You look but don't see
Love in front of you
You can't believe
Jaded heart
Love can't get to you
To bring your heart to me
I realize you've heard it all before
Lies and promises, you don't listen anymore
How I hope that I will find a way
To break down all these walls that you have made
But my eyes see that it's too late
Jaded heart
You look but don't see
Love in front of you
You can't believe
Jaded heart
Jaded heart
Love can't get to you
To bring your heart to me
How I wish that I could take you away
I would show you that my love's not the same
Can it be that I found you too late
Jaded Heart
You look but don't see
Love in front of you
You can't believe
Jaded Heart
Love can't get to you
It's too late to tell me you're sorry
It's too late to walk out the door
Last time, last time you left broken hearted
Only to come back for more
I'm not with you for love
You'll be back on your knees again
Til the livin' end
When will it ever end
Til the livin' end
You know I can't wait
Can't wait, til the livin' end
It was you that wanted affection
It was you and all of your lies
This time, this time I'm changing direction
Changing the look in your eyes
I'm not with you for love
You'll be back on your knees again
Til the livin' end
When will it ever end
Til the livin' end
You know I can't wait
Can't wait, til the livin' end
Got no hope for the future
When you live in the past
Not gonna wait for tomorrow
Can't wait, til the livin' end
Til the livin' end
When will it ever end
Til the livin' end
You know I can't wait
Can't wait, til the livin' end
Can't wait, til the livin' end
Can't wait, til the livin' end

Lyrics: Lynch, Pilson, Brown
Desperate living- driving me mad
Writings on the wall
Crushed all our hopes and the dreams we once had
Just to watch them fall
Tearing it up in the daytime
Burning it down at night
How long does it take
To break the spell
Straight to the top
Tooth and Nail
Last generation- reckless and free
Up against the odds
Toughts of revenge are going trough me
Fate lies in the cards
Tearing it up in the daytime
Burning it down at night
How long does it take
To break the spell
Straight to the top
Tooth and Nail
Desperate living- trying to see
Breaking all the rules
Only the strongs are gonna be free
From a world of fools
Tooth and Nail
Tooth and Nail
Straight to the top
Told you I had to leave, I had my reasons
I said that it hurt to stay, the way that I'm feelin'
It's not love
That left you standin'
It's not love
That left you cold
It's not love
Misunderstandin'
Only a mistake
There's nothing left to take
Why, baby, why did you make me let you go
And leave you so lonely
Why, baby, why did you have to hold on
You know it's not love anymore
Gave you your last chance but you didn't believe me
You can't keep me satisfied, the way that you treat me
It's not love
That left you standin'
It's not love
That left you cold
It's not love
Misunderstandin'
Only a mistake
There's nothing left to take
Why, baby, why did you make me let you go
And leave you so lonely
Why, baby, why, stop playing with my heart
I told you
It's not love
Telling you to be this way
It's not love
Sayin' you can never change
It's not love
When I told you
Is he putting you down
Why do you -- Invade me
I beg you -- don't leave me
Don't trust you -- don't trust me
I stand here -- benignly
What is inside that's pushing me
We're all a puppet on a string
This wooden world is just like me
We're all puppets on a string -- on a string
I hurt you -- you killed me
I love you -- you hated me
You gave in -- it thrilled me
You sex was -- fulfilling
What is inside that's pushing me
Like a puppet on a string
This wooden world is just like me
We're all puppets on a string -- on a string
I hurt you -- you tortured me
I love you -- you hated me
You gave in -- it thrilled me
Your sex was fulfilling
I hurt you -- you cut me
Your painful emission of how you felt
How you felt -- how you felt
My ego -- could not take
What is inside that's pushing me
Like a puppet on a string
This wooden world is just like me
We're all puppets on a string -- on a string
We're all puppets on a string
You buried me
You buried me on a string

Lyrics: Lynch
Somebody's watching me, is it just a crazy dream
Is it my memory, playing tricks on me
Out in the streets in the heat of the city
Here comes the night
Sky's turning grey and black
You knew that you were right
Don't close your eyes
Don't close your eyes or I'll be there
Don't close your eyes
Don't close your eyes or I'll be there
Just a shadow in the dark, you've seen this face before
Is it just a fantasy, is he coming back for more
Out in the alleyways, there is no second chance
Moving up behind you, you've lost the game at last
Don't close your eyes
Don't close your eyes or I'll be there
Don't close your eyes
Don't close your eyes or I'll be there
Somebody's watching me, is it just a crazy dream
Is it my memory, playing tricks on me
Out in the alleyways, there is no second chance
Moving up behind you, you've lost the game at last

Lyrics: Dokken, Pilson, Brown, Lynch
The shootin's over
The smoke is clear
Another notch in my gun
Another round of ammunition
Before the damage is done
She wanted this
I gave her that
She said she will
I took good aim
She felt no pain
When I started moving in for the kill
Cuz I've got bullets
Bullets to spare
I've got bullets- bullets to spare
My barrel's ready
My hand is steady
Tonight I'm ready for fun
I got my finger
It's on the trigger
Another night on the run
She wanted this
I gave her that
She said she will
I took good aim
She felt no pain
When I started moving in for the kill
Cuz I've got bullets
Bullets to spare
I'd like to see you in the morning light
I like to feel you when it comes to the night
Now I'm here and I'm all alone
Still I know how it feels, I'm alone again
Tried so hard to make you see
But I couldn't find the words
Now the tears, they fall like rain
I'm alone again without you
Alone again without you
Alone again without you
I said, "Stay", but you turned away
Tried to say that it was me
Now I'm here and I've lost my way
Now I know how it feels, I'm alone again
Tried so hard to make you see
But I couldn't find the words
Now the tears, they fall like rain
I'm alone again without you
Alone again without you
Alone again without you
Alone again without you
I tried so hard to make you see
But I couldn't find the words
Now the tears, they fall like rain
I'm alone again without you
Alone again without you
Alone again, alone again
Music: Lynch, Pilson
Lyrics: Pilson, Lynch, Brown
Every night is the same old thing
Baby I tried, yeah I tried
Let's put an end to this misery
Baby I cried, yeah I cried
So hot - stone cold, why'd you let me go
You got a heartless heart
Got a heart of stone
You got a heartless heart
And it's just gonna bring you down
You tell me things that I know ain't true
Baby you lied, yeah you lied
I just wanted to be with you
Baby I tried, yeah I tried
You got a heartless heart of stone
It's bringing me down- baby
You had to play the only game you've known
With my heart- with my heart- oh
Every night is the same old thing
Baby I tried, yeah I tried
Let's put an end to this misery
Overtake me -- seize
the vision through my eyes
and reinstate me --
bathe me in your sunlight
until I know -- until I know
constant motion -- kept me standing still
howling silence -- penetrate
and break my will
so re-embrace me -- the release
me one more time
until I know -- until I know
so re-embrace me -- the release
me one more time
until I know -- until I know
Take me along to a place I remember
where all of my friends - now they're gone forever
how they love the sweet life
I'm destined to run with the Holy
I must wait
dying inside ever slowly
I'll be on my way
I saw the flame of the candle burning down so low
I danced with my friends 'til they had to go
my spirit stayed -give me no relief
my spirit stayed -gave me no release
how they loved the sweet life
I'm destined to run with the Holy
I must wait
dying inside ever slowly
I'll be on my way
Sitting alone in a darkened room
trail of smoke and warn out mind
mister depression overstayed his welcome
something inside took me away
Take me along to a place I remember
all of my friends -thought I knew them better
how they loved the sweet life
[Instrumental]
Seeing no one
touching something
fingers reaching out
Senses burning
all from learning
no ones sees
the colors in my mind
Silent darkness speaks my name -
everything changes yet stays the same
like darkness into day
I know what is to come
long days without sun
CHORUS
I feel
I feel
Slowly moving
endless motion
floating forward now
soaring higher
drifting nowhere
I felt that I was somewhere else
Total blindness still remains
everyone changes - I stay the same
the hours slip away
I'll feel this pain no more
my future waits outside the door
CHORUS
I feel - I feel (crystallized - piece of time)
I feel
The sun is shining over me
warming my senses
I make a plea
I'm guilty of feeling
so why is it so hard to see
CHORUS
I feel - I feel (crystallized - piece of time)
I feel - I feel
(blood stained eyes - open wide)
I feel
I was lost without you
I was sinking in a storm
I thought the world had left me
now I know that I was wrong
It's Resurrection Day
gonna leave it all behind
gonna clear my mind of you
gonna pave my own road
CHORUS
I don't mind -what you want
I don't mind when your
hounds begin to beg
I don't mind when you
kick the ones that fall
I don't mind - I don't mind at all
It's better to be lonely
than to live with all your pain
I was walking through the desert
I was calling out your name
but I never got an answer
still I loved you just the same
the sun began to burn me
reminded me of all those days
CHORUS
I don't mind -what you want
I don't mind when your
hounds begin to beg
I don't mind when you
kick the ones that fall
I don't mind - I don't mind at all
When you leave me for another
I won't be calling out your name
now that burning sun is setting
only one thing left to say
CHORUS
I don't mind -what you want
I don't mind when your
hounds begin to beg
I don't mind when you
kick the ones that fall
I don't mind - I don't mind
I will rise up - over this
'till I come to a higher place
I will find strength - let go
of all the ties to my disgrace
I'm no more - and no less
than anyone else
looking for a new horizon
I can find in myself
CHORUS
(It's all right) the shadow's gone
(shine your light) with the risin' sun
(It's all right) take me as I am
(yeah yeah yeah) cuz here I stand
No hesitation - holdin' back
I'll take each step one by one
but I might fall - I could stray
If I loose my eye's today
I'm only one in a crowd
I'm just one voice on the line
looking for a new horizon
another place another time
CHORUS
(It's all right) the shadow's gone
(shine your light) with the risin' sun
(It's all right) take me as I am
(yeah yeah yeah) cuz here I stand
CODA: In our hands a light shines
we still wonder
change our world into sand
we will hunger
like a child -fears the night-
draws near its mother
like a son -fears no one-
will cast our shadow forever
'cause here I stand
Liquid fused around my body
swimming in the night's black water
justifies a child's exsistance
innocence abounds within us
but what does it matter
Watch my hand turn shades of gray
feel my life's breath fade away
soon I'll walk through gates of steel
to a place not yet revealed
but what does it matter
Hello death, hello death
hello death -- how do you do?
I don't remember calling you
All I need is just a drink of water
help me Jesus -- try to ease my pain
all I need is just to drink your water
hello Mr. Death please go away
Here I go into the earth
and here I'll wait until my birth
I will rise again someday
tranquility will find a way
but what does it matter
Hello death, hello death
hello death -- how do you do?
I don't remember calling you
All I need is just a drink of water
help me Jesus -- try to ease my pain
all I need is just to drink your water
hello Mr. Death please go away
(Dokken, Brown, Lynch)
It's late at night
I get that feeling running through my veins
You know it drives me insane
In the car, slam the door, turn the key and I'll be free
On that highway tonight
Highway bound
I'm so alive
I'm shifting into overdrive
Nightrider
Autobon
Route 61
I'll drive this road into the sun
Nightrider
My machine is tired and cool
I don't need to go to school
I'll put the hammer down and I'll leave this town
I'm racing time
The freeway just seess to unwind in front of me
And there's no return
My wheels of love
Fit me like a racing glove
Nightrider
Don't touch the brake
Don't cross the line
Don't make mistakes
'Cause you know that I'm
Nightrider
Nightrider
Here I come
The engine roars
------- and tied
I'm locked inside my doors
On a midnight run
But who klnows when
Danger lies around the bend for me
With the morning sun
Pass her by
Faster than the speed of light
Nightrider
You better run
Look out now
'Cause here I come
Nightrider
