Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay
Were laid spread out before me, as her body once did
All five horizons revolved around her soul, as the earth to the sun
Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn
Ooh, and all I taught her was everything
Ooh, I know she gave me all that she wore
And now my bitter hands shake beneath the clouds
Of what was everything
All the pictures had
All been washed in black, tattooed everything
I take a walk outside, I'm surrounded by some kids at play
I can feel their laughter, so why do I sear?
And twisted thoughts that spin round my head
I'm spinning, oh, I'm spinning
How quick the sun can, drop away
And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass
Of what was everything
All the pictures had
All been washed in black, tattooed everything
All the love gone bad, turned my world to black
Tattooed all I see, all that I am, all I'll be, yeah
I know someday you'll have a beautiful life
I know you'll be a star in somebody else's sky

The gloaming are falling,
The fade into black
The new age of darkness,
The seeds in our minds
The tribe of the force
Now gather their hordes
The Dragons child
Is taking his form
So let it be
So let it grow stronger
Enjoy the destruction
That tear down the old
Our light are black
Our sun are black
The voice of the damned
The prophecy speaks
The misrepresents
The world soon shall see
For the dark is the dawn
The end of false tales
The new generations
Will conquer them all
Give up your gods
Slay your old old gods
Open your eyes, and see... see
Join with the might, or fall... fall
The gloaming are falling,
The fade into black
The new age of darkness,

sung by William
And my mood is black
And my eyes are black
And my life is black
And my love is black
Turn the good thing back
Kiss the good thing back
Make the good thing back
Be the good thing back
Nothing here belongs
Nothing here belongs
No one hear is on my side
Nothing here is mine
Guess I get done wrong
Yeah I get done wrong
Guess I get done wrong
Yeah I get done wrong
And the black runs deep
Yeah the black runs deep

No one hear is on my side

As the walls are closing in
And the colors fade to black
And my eyes are falling fast and deep into me
And I follow the tracks that lead me down
And I never follow what's right
And they wonder sometimes when they see all the
Sadness and pain the truth begins to light
'Cause I can't see no reason
What is blind cannot see
'Cause I want what is pleasin'
All I take should be free
What I rob from the innocent ones
What I'd steal from the womb
If I cried me a river of all my confessions
Would I drown in my shallow regret
As the walls are closing in
And the colors fade to black
And the night is falling fast and deep into the sea
And in the darkness all that I can see
The frightened and the weak
Are forced to cling to mistakes they know nothing of

The world has broken down
Every stone’s been turned around
We feel no fear at all
Not at all
We don’t know what’s to come
Our beginning had already begun
And now we have to run
Come on
The last look back is black
The night turns dark ahead
When there’s no turning back
We’re glad
So glad
No turning back
No turning back
Where have you gone?
You made us feel so strong
You lost us and now we are
Alone
It’s dark despite the light
Tomorrow’s not in sight
And we were born to go
On and on
The last look back is black
The night turns dark ahead
When there’s no turning back
We’re glad
So glad
No turning back
No turning back
Let us run and don’t look back
We leave behind a burning track
Let us run and don’t look back
We leave behind a burning track
Come on
Come on
The last look back is black
The night turns dark ahead
When there’s no turning back
We’re glad
So glad
The last looks back is black
The night turns dark ahead
There’s no turning back
We’re glad
So glad
No turning back

Please don't stop me
But go and leave me
You can't keep me ... inside
Please don't stop me
From being so strange
You can't help me
With your lies
Watch me self-destruct
Please don't stop me
Let me loose in the black
You can't touch me
Because I'm not coming back
Please don't watch me
Eyes burn inside
You can't help me
Or even try
Please go and smash me
Break my bones
You capture then leave me
Like a villain alone
Watch me self-destruct
See the light disappear now
Roll it over the black
I've got to disappear now
And I'm never coming back
Let it roll on over
Everything in sight
It's taken out my feelings
And it's fading out the light

Flee Away
Dead
Ingrowing taste of gloom
Inkling ban
Consider
God denied
Worst case
Flipped away
Many times before
But now it's over
It was a lie
Sadder than yours
For all tears deny
But I can't be strong
Black end come on
Let's fade away
Nevermore
To grey times always near
Damn mistake
Begotten
Torn away
Below all blames
All is bleached
Forget all your sins
Go ahead for bad aims
It was a lie
Sadder than yours
For all tears deny
But I can't be strong
Black end come on
Let's fade away
For you
You had
For never and dead
Be tried be true
That wasn't for you
Let us be down
Without any crown
Embark your bad news
Your traveling's out

Voices call, they call out my name, my name, my name.
Well, they say I'm different. Well I'm not the same, same.
You say you want to, ah, be like me.
Well, boy let me tell ya, you don't know what I've seen.
They say a devil lives in my soul.
I promise not to let him take control.
I'm mindin' my own business.
I ain't doin' nothin' wrong.
Shadows follow so close behind me.
I look in the mirror; I don't like what I see.
Oh, God, can't you help me get outta here, here?
I feel like I'm livin' deep in hell.
I'm mindin' my own business.
I ain't doin' nothin' wrong.
I said that,
I.. I'm mindin', I'm mindin' my own, own
I ain't doin' nothin' wrong.

(lyrics by Harry Conklin)
Born out of flames descending upon the earth
The master of games for what they are worth
One with the darkness, one with my soul
Black is all power, black is control
It is my control
Black is the meaning of life
I hunger for the black of the night
Black
The color of greed
The answer of hope
The essence of light
Black
The heart inside you
The soul inside me
The power of night
Tis the answer for life
I hold the keys to unlock your dreams
Pleasures beyond this world has ever seen
I am desire. I am control
I am the light and darkness inside your soul

We saw the wings of hell
Rise and crack the sky
We lost the hopes and dreams
Of those who were denied
Locked in a sea of fog,
The sweat has turned to hate
How can we save us from ourselves.
Look around you, is this the final hour
Are you among the ones to be saved
Right behind you the darkness rushing forward
If you listen, you can still here them say
The sun will fade to black.
A sudden strike, an act of war, the daze begins
Lost in a pit of shattered lives
They tried to run away, but it's too late

Identify the real world
Investigate the real world
Intensify inspection
There for all to see
Here's what lies do
All things turn to
Black, black
Yeah, no
Now desensitize your heartbeat
Regulate the heartbeat
Sterilize all emotion
Justify your needs
Here's what love does
Dies and fades to
Black, black
There are no champions
Who saves the lonely ones
In the corner
Black, yeah
Black
You must identify
You and the real world
Interrogate the new real world
Then generate intention
Information, please
Here's what i know
Soon we'll all go
We must fade to

Black, is it dark enough?
Is it hot or cold or stark enough?
Black, is it dirty or sad?
Is it old or cruel or broken or bad?
Black, is it all you see
When you close your eyes, you think of me?
Black, black, black
Black, is it nightmare or dream?
Is it midnight sky or silent scream?
Black, is it the chains you wear?
Or the color of the cross you bear?
Black, is it what you hate?
The hangman's hood or the offering plate?
Black, black, black
Is it the shame that drives you back?
Is it the train that jumps the track
Just as you're slipping through the cracks?
Black, black
Black, is it your medicine
Your soul, your hole or the shape you're in?
Black, is it your wedding gown
Your eyes, your lies or the truth you've found?
Black, is it beautiful?
Is it animal or criminal?
Black, black, black
Is it the shame that burns your soul?
Is it the fear you can't control?
Is it the night that won't let go?
Black, black
Black, is it the enemy
That hides inside of you and me?
Black, is it the preacher's cloak
Your father's curse or your mother's joke?
Black, is it the pain you own
Or the plague that's eating at your bones?
Black, black, black
Is it the ashes of your dreams?
Is it the nature of your greed?
Is it the walls between you and me?
Black, black
Black

Decomposing in this worthless tomb,
Nothingness inhaled, I am consumed.
Starving for the ending to this doom,
We the parasite, our death overdue.
Black!
It's opening.
Oh, how it stares!
So deep,
Into the soul,
So deep into the soul!
Black!
Downfall of decimation!
Black!
It tears apart the night!
Termination sits across my cell,
Waiting patiently to unleash Hell.
Frothing at the mouth, it's hunger tells,
Of the feast I'll soon become, my soul melts.
Black!
It's opening.
Oh, how it stares!
So deep,
Into the soul,
So deep into the soul!
Black!
Downfall of decimation!
Black!
It tears apart the night!
Rain, rain down,
On, this hopeless, scorched abyss.
Rain down,
Termination's, all we're owed.
Rain down, rain, rain down!
Black!
It's opening.
Oh, how it stares!
So deep,
Into the soul,
So deep into the soul!
Black!
Downfall of decimation!
Black!

Sometimes I feel so far away
Other times I think I need a change today
Unwanted feelings of despair from inside
And all I want is a place to hide
Sometimes it makes me really angry
Other times it gets me really sad
But every time it happens the only thing I see is...
Black, black, black, all I see is...
I just want a little piece of mind
Away from all my pressures and the daily grind
I just want a place where I can be
Away from all the things that trouble me
Could things be better at the end of the road?
Or will the world outside still be cold?
For the inner tranquility that I lack

Black eyes, black lips, black nails.
We are dancing a slow dance.
Kiss of ash, my tongue fails,
At the sharp blade of romance
Black eyes, black lips, black nails.
We are dancing a slow dance.
Kiss of ash, my tongue fails,
At the sharp blade of romance
Tongue of ash catches drop
From sharp and bloody steel.
Weve danced too long to ever stop,
Its time for a broken mind to heal.
Black stare could shatter stone.
Black knife rests - white body prone.
Dark angels watch the play below
Black soul wants to die young,
Black lips smile when dark tongue
Tastes the wine from your kind
Black eyes, black lips, black nails.
We are dancing a slow dance.
Kiss of ash, my tongue fails,
At the sharp blade of romance
Black eyes, black lips, black nails.
We are dancing a slow dance.
Kiss of ash, my tongue fails,
At the sharp blade of romance
Crimson tongue catches drop
From nails like razorblades
The dance is done, the game is won
Its time for a broken heart to feel
Black eyes, black lips, black nails.
We are dancing a slow dance.
Kiss of ash, my tongue fails,
At the sharp blade of romance
Black eyes, black lips, black nails.
We are dancing a slow dance.
Kiss of ash, my tongue fails,
At the sharp blade of romance
Black eyes, black lips, black nails.
We are dancing a slow dance.
Kiss of ash, my tongue fails,
At the sharp blade of romance

Black is a cast,
And two is a crowd,
And gold rim is an answer.
Black is a crowd.
I am just for you,
As you are not for me
So even if you stop,
You’re sitting here by yourself,
You can never try to answer anymore,
You can never start
And see what you’re doing to me.
Kiss, they were the ones,
They dressed like something so special,
And death is to begin,
caress, I think it’s a sin…
I was alone,
Only ‘til you took me away,
And you can never stop,
You’re sitting all by yourself,
You can never try to argue anyone,
You will never stop and see,
What you’re doing to me.
I’m alone,
While he was standing next to you,
And days prolong,
Yeah there was time,
just you wait and see,
Waiting for a bottle of truth,
I’m just a lonely guy in my youth,
Waiting for you is all I wanna do,
So if you couldn’t stop,
You’re sitting all by yourself,
You can never try to argue anyone,
you will never stop and see what you’re doing to me,
You can never stop,
You’re sitting all by yourself,
You can never try to answer anything,
You will never stop and see,
What you’re doing to me,
What you’re doing to me,
What you’re doing to me,

I'm coming into your town. Night is falling to the ground,
but I can still see where you loved yourself
before he tore it all down. April 12th,
with nobody else around; you were outside the house (where's your mother?)
When he put you in the car, when he took you down the road.
And I can still see where it was open, the door he slammed closed.
It was open, the door he slammed closed. It was open, long ago.
But don't lose me now, don't lose me now. Though I know that I'm not useful anyhow,
just let me stick around while I tell you, like before,
you should say his name the way that he said yours.
But you don't want to say his name anymore. Oh, Cynda Moore.
Baby daughter on the road, you're wrapped up warm in daddy's coat.
And I can still see the cigarette's heat. I can't believe all that you're telling me,
what is cutting like the smoke through your teeth as you're telling me "forget it."
But if I could tear his throat, spill his blood between my jaws,
and erase his name for good, don't you know that I would?
Don't you realize I wouldn't pause,
that I would cut him down with my claws if I could have somehow never let that happen?
Or I'd call, some black midnight, fuck up his new life where they don't know what he did,
tell his brand-new wife and his second kid.
And I tell you, like before, you should wreck his life the way that he wrecked yours,
you want no part of his life anymore. Oh, Cynda Moore,
don't lose me now, let me help you out. Though I know that I can't help you anyhow,
when I watch you I'm proud.
When I tell you twice before that you should wreck his life the way that he wrecked yours,
you want no part of his life anymore. Oh, Cynda Moore. And it'll never be the way it was before,

So many lives I've confessed
So many lives made a mess
Pushed it all into something
Pushed it all
You turned and everything went black
You turned and everything went black
Wouldn't have tried to compete
Wouldn't have lied but to keep
Something told me it hurt me
Somethings hold
Back
You turned and everything went black
Turned and everything went black
You pushed it all so you'd never see it
You pushed it all...
Laughing and
You're pulling strings
Dancing on the souls of the weak
And you're so pretty
You are.
You're so pretty
You turned and everything went black
Turned and everything went black
You turned and everything went black
You turned and everything went black
I never sought power for power's sake
'cause power in the hands of a dangerous man
Is power in the hands of an enemy
...an enemy of yours an and enemy of mine
Who manipulates kindness
For his own personal highs
And he's counting lines, counting numbers
Counting lines, counting lines, counting numbers
...so don't look at me and sneer
'cause I am nothing like you
The difference is clear
I'm your nigger you build with fear
And I hope I live to see the day
When your ideals go crashing away
To show you that your reflection is as cold
And as black
As the organs that pump blood to your veins
Because, you see...
I never wanted to own you or
Really anything
Just me
But you pushed
Pushed and pushed me
You pushed
Pushed and pushed me...
Pushed it all into something

(Intro Lingerie):
(Spoken)Yeah baby... I wanna do somethin special tonight

If you wanna see me shawty you can beep me on the blackberry, I'm on the cover of that "Black Beat Weekly"

Black chocolate chip cookies on that goodies, I need a lady that's freaky, that's the best way I can put it
I can go in raw, or pull it, or I could throw that black tuxedo on, do things that ya man would'nt
Black dickie in the chevy wit DB's,"on the black street bumpin Pretty Ricky CD

She pullin on me, slow down gurl! One step at a time, yeeah!
You love it, I love it
I got that black
Have you had that black?
Do you like that black?

Black numerous times at start and behind the beat
To tell the truth man. Shit, we all grew up in the ghetto
Young black males, huh. Those black girls, hide and go get it
It was real in the hood. Niggaz kept it real. I mean, they did
It was only black. That's all we knew, shit. Ain't a damn thing change
Nigga proud to be one. Put that on anything
[Verse 1]
Don't make me have to get the black gloves and black ski mask
Anything a nigga have to do to get me cash
You know I wear a lot of blue
'Cause that's just what a nigga do
Tonight I got on so much black I look invisible
They say that all black man are criminals, dead orin jail
Well, I'm an angry, young, black individual
My daddy born black, my momma born black
Daddy was a mack and daddy ain't know how to act
But daddy had the black Cadillac, he had black slacks
Driving me to school, I used to toat the black backpack
And napsack, black raps in my mind I'm hearing it
I wrote about the only thing I knew, the black experience
Stick-ball, playing dice by the brick wall
Say bloody mary three times, that bitch will get yall
Street fights, being in before the street lights
Before I ever learned to freak a beat right
Nigga, I was black
[Chorus]
Don't be fuckin round with me 'cause I'll have you seeing black
Trying to get me for the chain, I'll make you faker black
There ain't nothing in my heart or in my soul 'cause it's black
I told you it's black 3X
Now every gram and collar green, nigga that's black
And plastic on a brand new sofa, that's black
Freeze pops, and double dutch and hot chips black
I'm trying to tell you big pimping, that's black
[Verse 2]
My momma told me, don't be on that
Terry, don't get sidetracked
Terry, you was born black, and you gon' die black
And you gon' always be black, and you gon' always know black
Even though, you the lightest motherfucker on the Kodak
But know that you should act black, knowing you should rap at
Know when to pull it
And when you should shake hands, and that's that
She said, you're black, so them coppers will harrass you
And them black choppers see who hiding in the grass too
She said being black is heaven in hell
But most black man either end up dead or in jail
She told me, you don't have to date black, and you don't have to marry it
But never ever hate black, be proud of it and carry it
And even when they put you in the dirt, they'll never burry it
And don't just have one approach son, you need to varry it
Before baseball, before basketball
Even when my casket fall
A nigga still black
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
Black way of thinking, I'm done with it, I'm through with it
Why they call it black male, fuck I have to do with it
I never knew they'd punk, every black crack one day
The stock market crashed, and they called it black Monday
black kids are ghetto, black cats are bad luck
Wear black at funerals, to me it doesn't add up
But I don't give a mad fuck, what you try and label me
I'm one black nigga getting paid from using ABC's
Black are less intelegent, rap is just irrelevant
And in most black neighborhoods, crack is just so prevalent
Disproportionately, I see black put up on death row
And not the one in Interscope either, where all the rest go
And it's still Ok to tell a little white lie
Cops pull over black kids, the black kid, he might die
But no matter what they say, how we destroy the world
I love these black boys and girls

Sometimes you laugh,
sometimes we smile at each other,
sometimes you give a lot
when really you'd rather not.
And sometimes you pray,
sometimes you tell a lie,
sometimes you take a hold
of this your living day.
So many dreams for the asking
and I'll wager there's one here who'll try
to make a fool of you.
You're crying out for more,
more, more, more, more.

You're crying out for more,

Feeling the kiss
Enchanted by pain
Burned by the touch
Immortal by flame
Out of control
Released of the fear
Tempted by thought
Invoked by the fear
Painted with the eyes of gloom
Glorified with fate and doom
Masked behind the idol Christ
Blackened thoughts beyond our sight
Injected with poison
Craving for more
Induced by the body
Evening the score
Wet by emotion
Slippery in vain
Joy in destruction
Happiness in pain
Sensitivity extreme with lust
Accepting every inch
Penetrate we must
Eternal thoughts prevail
Deep inside my head

I never courted suffering,
never valued paid,
I'm not cruel, or a fool
just not used to it!
And now our fingers stay where
once they hurried past.
We've the time and the place,
let's get used to it.
And never feel lonely (I don't want to)
and never stay hungry (I don't care to)
you are what people say you are,
whatever people say you are,
how can you stay happy?
We never would admit,
no, not to a man,
if you can't
get what you want, get what you can.
But you always made me feel
like I've just recieved
and invite
to last week's Halloween.
And never feel lonely (I don't want to)
and never stay hungry (I don't care to)
you are what people say you are,
whatever people say you are,
how can you stay happy?
If I'm wrong I will take it all back,
if you ask.
It's the price of good fortune I ask-
if I can, if I can.
(solo)
And never feel lonely (I don't want to)
and never stay hungry (I don't care to)
you are what people say you are,
whatever people say you are,
how can you stay happy?
Oh, and never feel lonely (I don't want to)
and never stay hungry (I don't care to)
you are what people say you are,
whatever people say you are,
how can you stay happy?, stay happy?

There've been too many times
when I never said what was on my mind.
How was I to know you'd go so soon?
Your God would come to take you home
leaving me stumbling over
stupid lines on a shabby page.
Daddy, sometimes I'm filled with rage.
I lost the only thing that was really mine.
So daddy, can you hear me?
Oh daddy, do I still make you laugh?
And I know just what you'd say-
Is this really the time and place
to say all of those things that we never said?
There've been too many times
when my head was filled with stupid pride.
I hope you're laughing now
that all these words have been set aside.
Oh daddy, can you hear me?
Oh daddy, do I still make you laugh?
And I know just what you'd say-
Is this really the time and place
to say all of those things that we never said?
(solo)
It seems so long since I saw you,
and yet it seems like yesterday.
There's no need to make amends
for I look on us as friends.
Oh daddy, can you hear me?
Oh daddy, do I still make you laugh?
Oh daddy, can you hear me?
Oh daddy, do I still make you laugh?
Still make you laugh?
There've been too many times.
There've been too many times.
There've been too many times.
There've been too many times...

I want you,
I want you,
for everything you do,
you do
to take a piece.
I need you,
I need you,
'cause everything you do
is right on cue
to take a piece.
You're my find
but I'll take my time
until your eyes
have dimmed from hot
to soft and mellow.
You tease me
to please me.
Like everything you do,
you do
to take a piece.
(solo)
You are like a team,
a vixen queen.
You turn my spine
from diamond hard
to soft and yellow.
And I want you,
I want you,
for everything you do,
you do
to take a piece.
Everything you do,
you do
to take a piece.
For everything you do,
you do
to take a piece.

If your lonely heart is aching,
think you can't take any more,
you have to cup your hands to keep the light.
I will lean across your shoulder
and whisper in your ear
that this is life.
If you're old enough to face it,
you are old enough to fake it,
to get what you desire and still ask why.
Then I'll tap you on the shoulder
and whisper in your ear
that this is life.
This is what you struggled for,
no reprisals, no resistance,
this is life.
Can you answer me a question-
Have you lain awake at night,
the blinds undrawn, the ceiling streaked with light?
You feel tired but you can't sleep,
feel so hungry you can't eat-
Well, this is life.
Has your courage seemed to fail you
as you take your chosen path?
You pass a camel through a needle's eye.
Get up in tiny little pieces
and you've learnt the major rule:
that this is life.
This is what you waited for,
no rehearsals, no more stalling,
this is life.
Have it tattooed on the inside
of your pink and sleepy eyelids;
This is life.
This is life.
(solo)
Absence makes the heart grow fonder,
grow more foolish than we can ever guess.
You feel your nerve ends slowly coiling
and you hope the answer's "no", the answer's "yes".
This is what you struggled for,
no reprisals, no resistance,
this is life.
This is what you waited for,
no rehearsals, no more stalling,
this is life.
If you can't do what you ought,
lead by example, don't get caught,
'cause this is life.
Uh, this is life.
This is life.
This is life.
This is life.
This is life.

Hey baby, love the way you walk-
Got a knock-kneed swing goes back and forth.
I could lose myself in the curve of you hips
aching to kiss your sweet lips.
Yeah baby, I love your eyes-
They're sea green but they seem twice as deep.
Like a man crossing the gridge of sights
I am afraid to sleep.
And miss the sweet the breath of your rapture.
The sweet breath of your rapture.
Hey baby, love to hold your hands,
but sometimes the best laid plans
dissapear like a smoke ring
in a shifting wind.
And yeah baby, I love your smile,
it's worth the wait, it's worth the while
and it makes my raw, sagging spirits rise-
It makes them soar, it makes them fly.
To taste the sweet breath of your rapture.
The sweet breath of your rapture.
To taste the sweet breath of your rapture.
(solo)
So make a guess, take a chance.
When my fortune is made,
what will I do?
I'll be straight to your room
To taste the sweet breath of your rapture.
The sweet breath of your rapture.
The sweet breath of your rapture.
Hey baby, hey baby
Sweet breath of your rapture.
The sweet breath of your rapture.
Hey baby, hey baby
The sweet breath of your rapture.

You don't follow me now,
ribbons in hair
searching for answers when
there's none there.
Then follow me round,
up my stair
into my bedroom if
I'm in there.
Hoping for something
because it seems the right thing to do.
You know what to do then
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
You know what to do then
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
You still follow me now,
temptingly fair
finding your answers when
there's none there
Hoping for something
because it seems the right thing to do.
You know what to do then
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
You know what to do then
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
You know what to do then
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
You know what to do then
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
You know what to do then
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
You know what to do then
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
You know what to do then
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
You know what to do then
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)

I run at things too fast,
only give them half a chance-
Say what you want, what you will,
but it's true.
I'm far too lazy,
I do enough but nothing more.
I like to drink, I like to play-
Do you too?
You never know
just what the blues are like
until you take
a taste of the sweet life.
I found an angel,
a reason to smile-
A best friend.
Until I knew her I never knew
what a woman can do-
Did what she want, did what she will-
Is it true?
She holds her own, she holds mine too,
we do a marry dance.
Do what we want, do what we will-
Do you too?
I brush her hair
and it crackles with the static-
I never meant to kiss her,
it was purely automatic.
She's my angel,
she's my Betty Blue,
she's my best friend.
(solo)
Her fingers drumming time, drumming time,
Drumming on my heating heart.
I got it good, I've got it bad-
It's true, uh-huh.
You never know
just what the blues are like
until you take
a taste of the sweet life.
I found an angel,
a reason to smile-
A best friend.
She's gone,
she's out of sight,
she's my love me tender,
my P. G. fright,
my lady day in the dead of night,
my best friend.
She's my best friend.

Now it's complete,
Ravel is in the rain
standing in my dream street.
I'd like to meet
Ravel in New Orleans,
hold out my hand to his.
I was warned, now I'm old,
still searching for what I'm told
Is gone, is God, is not.
Don't try to leave,
I've tried so many times.
The street is named desire.
(solo)
I was warned, now I'm old
still searching for what I'm told
Is gone, is God, is not.
I was warned, now I'm old
still searching for what I'm told
Is gone, is God, is not.

Hand me my five and dime,
pass me my shirt hung on the line.
I'll polish up my boots
and then take the first plane stateside I can find.
It's a handicap to try to see this far,
when this place seems so cramped and small.
In the streets they whisper legends
and it seems that I'm riding for a fall.
I'm leaving,
I'm leaving.
All of my sense is shot,
the streets are like a premonition of a crime.
I wrote without you,
then I took the first plane stateside I could find.
If they could they would've stopped me,
they'd say I'm gaping at a dream.
I'm leaving,
I'm leaving.
So I polish up my brand new car,
then take my tunes from door to door.
I try not to see their faces
as I'm dealing out my aces,
the horizon seems so far away.
From a penthouse for a king and queen
I expected more of the stuff of dreams.
If they can they like to get their man
and cut him right down to his knees.
And I'm reeling,
once again I'm leaving.
I'm leaving
and once again I'm leaving.
And I'm leaving,
once again I'm leaving.

Baby,
once more I won't ask again,
don't tell me I should count to ten.
Think freely.
I won't attempt to curb your speech,
it sounds like something out of reach.
Oh, it's crazy,
when I think of how I feel so free,
maybe there is something wrong with me.
Could be!
(Finder),
Oh I never seem to know when I will find her.
I am the (finder),
and that's fine by me,
and that's fine by me.
Bingo!
You've said it, you don't care to play,
just drag on through another day.
Oh, maybe
it's time you learn to play the fool,
break some of your silly rules.
Oh, and someday,
when you think you can't do anymore,
I'll be lying here to break your fall,
so small.
(Finder),
Oh I never seem to know when I will find her.
I am the (finder),
and that's fine by me,
that's fine by me.
(Finder),
Oh I never seem to know when I will find her.
I am the (finder),
and that's fine by me,
and that's fine by me.
(solo)
(Finder),
Oh I never seem to know when I will find her.
I am the (finder),
and that's fine by me,
that's fine by me.
(Finder),
Oh I never seem to know when I will find her.
I am the (finder),
and that's fine by me,
and that's fine by me.
(Finder),
Oh I never seem to know when I will find her.
I am the (finder),
and that's fine by me,
and that's fine by me.

Everything changes when you think about it,
there's not much you can do about it.
But another broken Irish sat on park bench,
Feel his life like a gut wrench,
like it's passing him by.
So I feel like change,
I feel like walking out and standing in the rain.
I feel like change,
I feel like change.
Everything changes as you stare at it,
we've all learned to live with it.
But another bag lady, beggar man, thief,
another low flyer came to grief,
can barely stand.
So I feel like change,
I feel like walking out and standing in the rain.
I feel like change,
I feel like change.
I never wanted to write this song.
It won't hel what's going on-
When we look at what's going on,
two rights could make a wrong.
(solo)
Feel like change, feel like change.
This is such a pointless fight.
Two songs won't make it right.
Three songs won't make it right.
Maybe a hundred songs might make it right.
Sing it.
So I feel like change,
I feel like change,
I feel like change.
And so I feel like change,
I feel like change,
I feel like change...

You don't believe me
I can tell it by your eyes
There's a kind of magic to be had from your lies.
I used to say that today is like tomorrow
Don't sell it short for truth.
I should have known
I should have known
should have known how
I should have known
I should have known by now
but now
Everything is coming up roses
everything is coming up roses.
You don't understand it
I can tell it by your smile
There's a kind of freedom to be had from your lies.
I always said that today is like tomorrow
Don't sell it short for truth.
I should have known
I should have known
should have known how
Everything is coming up roses
everything is coming up
coming up
Everything is coming up roses.
Everything is coming up roses
everything is coming up roses
Everything is coming up roses
everything is coming up
coming up

Your tender-eyes me with those baby browns,
'till I can't get around.
The fact that I still love you
and I'm not supposed to,
this is supposed to be over.
I'm not supposed to care.
I wanted not to
but you don't always do
what's best for you.
I no wanted to
but you don't always do
what's best for you.
What's best for you.
Was your first name "lover",
was your second "nomore".
What the hell were we lovers for
just to end up this way?
Now I feel that I can't go forward
and I can't go back.
And I wanted to
but you don't always do
what's best for you.
And I wanted to
but you don't always do
what's best for you,
what's best for you.
I curl up inside when I remember
all the times I was weak
and the drinks seem to fly
by like all passing years,
buying dear and selling cheap,
oh, selling cheap.
(solo)
You tried to make me so jealous,
I resented your point of view.
I wanted not to
but you don't always do
what's best for you.
And I wanted to
but you don't always do,
you don't always do,
what's best for you.
And I wanted to
but you don't always do,
you don't always do,
what's best for you.

Here I go out to sea again
The sunshine fills my hair
And dreams hang in the air
Gulls in the sky and in my blue eyes
You know it feels unfair
There's magic everywhere
Look at me standing
Here on my own again
Up straight in the sunshine
No need to run and hide
It's a wonderful, wonderful life
No need to hide and cry
It's a wonderful, wonderful life
Sun's in your eyes the heat is in your hair
They seem to hate you
Because you're there
And I need a friend, oh, I need a friend
To make me happy
Not stand here on my own
Look at me standing
Here on my own again
Up straight in the sunshine
No need to run and hide
It's a wonderful, wonderful life
No need to hide and cry
It's a wonderful, wonderful life
I need a friend, oh, I need friend
To make me happy
Not so alone
Look at me here
Here on my own again
Up straight in the sunshine
No need to run and hide
It's a wonderful, wonderful life
No need to hide and cry
It's a wonderful, wonderful life
No need to run and hide
It's a wonderful, wonderful life
No need to run and hide
It's a wonderful, wonderful life
Wonderful life

Yes, I believe I'm not trouble sent to haunt you.
Tell you for truth or did no one ever warn you
til we stop these silly games.
I can't believe what you say.
I see your face across the miles and miles between us.
Do they separate, do they separate or join us,
do they join us at the hips.
I need to kiss your sweet lips.
There'll be sparks in the rain,
honey in your hair,
I'm wishing you were here with me.
(I'm wishing you were here)
There'll be sparks in the rain,
honey in your hair,
I'm wishing you were here.
(I'm wishing you were here)
I'm wishing you were here.
Turn out the lights if it helps to re-assure you.
Call me a fool but you can't only eat it twice,
so eat it slowly, let the juice run out.
and believe what I say.
Calling your name across the miles and miles between us,
I see your face and the laugh lines reading join us,
join us right there at the hips
and I can taste your sweet lips.
And there'll be sparks in the rain,
honey in your hair,
I'm wishing you were here with me.
(I'm wishing you were here)
There'll be sparks in the rain,
honey in your hair,
I'm wishing you were here.
(I'm wishing you were here)
I'm wishing you were here.
(solo)
I see your face across the miles and miles between us.
Do they separate, do they separate or join us,
do they join us at the hips.
I need to kiss your sweet lips.

I'm wishing you were here with me.
(I'm wishing you were here)
There'll be sparks in the rain,
honey in your hair,
I'm wishing you were here.
(I'm wishing you were here)
And there'll be sparks in the rain,
honey in your hair,
I'm wishing you were here with me.
(I'm wishing you were here)
There'll be sparks in the rain,
honey in your hair,
I'm wishing you were here.

I'm wishing you were here.

Your life
is like free to fly,
if feeling it is wrong
I don't ever want to feel it right.
It could almost be so,
it is sure to be so
sensational.
My prayer
is seldom heard
ease into my arms
and whisper liquid words of love.
It could give you everything
that you want it to,
if you want it to.
If only you would jump on board,
ride the train of thought,
wish the world awake.
If only you could break the line,
you could learn this time and
wish the world awake.
I close my eyes.
(Get up, get up, get up, get up, get up,
wish the world awake)
(Get up, get up, get up, get up, get up,
wish the world awake)
She gave
and gave of herself
'til there was nothing left
and got down on her knees and prayed.
Prayed for an angel to fill her empty soul,
do angels come so big?
I don't think so.
If only you would jump on board,
ride the train of thought,
wish the world awake.
If only you could break the line,
if only you could learn this time,
wish the world awake.
(If only you would jump on board)
ride the train of thought,
wish the world awake.
(If only you could break the line)
if only you could learn this time,
we could wish the world awake.

It's late an I'm drunk and my stomach
sounds like the hot water pipes in the attic room,
and who'd have though the sky could hold
so much snow inside of it just to let it go.
The stars may shine and the moon
may be blue, but what comes,
comes from you?
I was meant to take you there
We could pack our bags and be
on our way.
Hold on to your childlike fears
all your worries, tantrums, tears
I don't need to know
The stars may shine and the moon
may be blue, but what comes,
comes from you?
So don't turn around
'cause that's paradise lost.
Don't turn away,
mersey rose.
Nothing good could last forever.
No, don't turn around
'cause that's paradise lost.
The very place
that we chose.
Only dreams could last forever.
Hold it now,
there is something you should know
I was never turn away from you
My intentions are clear,
that's the only truth.
My only wish is never to lose.
So don't turn around
'cause that's paradise lost.
Don't turn away,
mersey rose.
Nothing good could last forever.
And don't turn around
'cause that's paradise lost.
The very place
that we chose.
Only dreams could last forever.
Don't turn around.
Don't turn away,
mersey rose.
Only dreams could last forever
Don't turn around.
Don't turn away,
mersey rose.
Only dreams could last forever
Don't turn around,
'cause that's paradise lost.
Only dreams could last forever.
Don't turn away,
this paradise lost.
Nothing good could last forever.

You know you're where it's at
but you don't know where that is,
when your friends come round smiling
and greet you with a kiss,
Then push you in the dirt
from behind.
There's no time like the right time
when the now times wearing thin
for their silver tinsel dresses
and their microwave skin
and their cheap books of romance.
I think I'll take my chances.
So I run like I'd run from a flood,
like you know it's understood.
That your golden hair
was never meant to wear
a paper crown.
You know that a smile
is their workaday face.
You can't calculate the effort
just to keep it in its place.
They don't shoot to kill, they'd always miss,
so shoot to wound.
Like they're always searching through your pockets
like they expect to find a answer.
The truth is that the truth is
as commonplace as cancer.
If you'd only take the time
you don't need to seek to find it.
Just run like I'd run from a flood,
like you know it's understood.
That your golden hair
was never meant to wear
a paper crown.
(solo)
Run like you'd run for good,
like the rivers running blood
and you see your life flashing by.
I run like I'd run from a flood,
like you know it's understood.
That your golden hair
was never meant to wear
a paper crown,
a paper crown,
a paper crown,
a paper crown.

Well now, you
wouldn't stay
and there's not much more that I can say
but your lips
that I kissed
will never go away
from my memory
they will remain with me.
You were tied, now you're gone,
there was time, now it's gone.
Is this the best
we can do?
Have we come as far as we intend to?
This was comedy,
it is true,
I was not innocent under you.
Ah my memories,
they will remain with me.
You were tied, now you're gone,
there was time, now it's gone,
now it's gone.
You were tied, now you're gone,
there was time, now it's gone,
now it's gone.
Ah my memories,
they will remain with me.
You were tied, now you're gone,
there was time, now it's gone,
now it's gone.
You were tied, now you're gone,
there was time, now it's gone,
now it's gone, now it's gone.

Listen to the money while it talks,
makes you feel used up and small.
You're caught between its hands.
Why did you try at all?
I listened and remembered what he said-
"What's good for me is good for you.
Be careful what you wish for-
It might come true."
That sometimes, at night,
when you're alone inside your bed,
you think about the things that have been said.
That sometimes your life begins to go
in directions you don't like.
You can't resist the flow.
If you listen then you might.
Then you might.
Listen once and listen good,
what's lost is never coming back.
The people that you trust
are the people you should watch.
Ohh and sometimes, at night,
when you're alone inside your bed,
you think about the things that have been said.
That sometimes your life begins to go
in directions you don't know.
Never knew what you would find.
If you listen then you might.
(solo)
Listen and remember what he said-

Little queen beware, fashion tempers flare,
and they light up with a brilliant glare
page after page, after page, after page,
after page.
A hollow vase only costs ten pounds
but an empty vessel makes the loudest sound,
and you have to get heard in this loudest of towns-
or go under.
We don't care if you can't pay,
we don't care what you've got to say,
we don't hear when you cry out-
Our smiles are hollowed out.
Let's talk about me.
(Vamos a hablar de ti)
Let's talk about me.
(Vamos a hablar de ti)
The people look like ghouls in the neon light,
get the big city blues every single night.
World gone crazy? It was never sane- not now,
not ever.
Bars full of couples not talking to each other,
seeking solitude in the company of others.
"We're not in love- we just can't resist each other
at playtime.
We don't care if you can't pay,
we don't care what you've got to say,
we don't hear when you cry out-
Our smiles are hollowed out.
Let's talk about me.
(Vamos a hablar de mi)
Let's talk about me.
(Vamos a hablar de ti)
Let's talk about me.
(Vamos a hablar, hablar, hablar)
Let's talk about me.
(solo)
We don't care if you can't pay,

Let's talk about me.
Let's talk about me.
Oh, let's talk about me, me, me, me, me, me.
Oh (Vamos a hablar de mi)
Let's talk about me.

Vamos a hablar de mi
Vamos a hablar, hablar, hablar
Vamos a hablar de mi

Not for nothing at all,
not for nothing did I call,
reason is: you're often appalled.
Hold on now John, you never seemed cold!
I thought you were in love,
then I guess that you're not,
ah, but then the first thing you wrote
was: Hold on now John,
hold on now John,
hold on now John.
And now you don't answer when I call,
you don't answer then.
You don't answer when I call,
leave yourself alone,
leave yourself alone.
Cabbages and kings in your dreams,
these are your dreams.
Maybe they're not quite what they seem.
Hold on now John,
the blame is undone.
Wash up the air,
don't drive that car,
never learn to play the guitar,
and leave yourself alone,
leave yourself alone,
leave yourself alone,
and leave yourself alone.
You don't answer when I call,
you don't answer then.
You don't answer when I call,
leave yourself alone,
leave yourself alone.
You don't answer when I call,
you don't answer then.
You don't answer when I call,
leave yourself alone,
leave yourself alone.
Sweeping up the ashes of rock,
sweeping up the ashes of roll,
years begin to take up their toll.
Though not for some
you've never seemed cold.
You don't answer when I call,
you don't answer then.
You don't answer when I call,
hold on now John,
hold on now John.
You don't answer when I call,
you don't answer then.
You don't answer when I call,
leave yourself alone,
leave yourself alone.

Rubber band, you're like a rubber band-
You keep on snapping back at me,
so this is jealousy.
Hollow vase, you are a hollow vase,
and when you talk to yourself
you hear an answer back.
What type of world are you living in?
What type of sweet thing
would make the medicine better?
What type of world are you waiting for?
You give me one of those headaches
one drink won't take away.
Learning how to hate.
Rumour true, rumour false-
It's all the same to you
on cloud cockoo.
And every mistake that I've ever made
comes back to haunt me,
my own fools gallery.
What type of world are you living in?
What type of sweet thing
would make the medicine better?
What kind of world are you waiting for?
You give me one of those headaches
one drink won't take away.
Learning how to hate.
Our clam chowder comes without the powder-
It doesn't happen here,
this is a nice place.

Seeing you,
I knew why I'd come so far,
and I thanked the stars
for leading me to you.
Your fairy tale prince,
I'm trying so hard
to make like an orchard
in my own back yard.
Oh the rain dribbles down
me in my beatitude,
my collar and shirt,
down legs to battered shoes.
Life is a breeze!
I'm just making memories,
good times or bad,
(I'm making, I'm making)
I'm just making memories,
you're the best that I've had.
And I'm still living
my teenage angst,
on the printed page
and in other ways.
So if I seem cruel,
it's only the fool in me,
that wants to try
and see if you'll cry.
Oh the rain dribbles down
me in my beatitude,
my collar and shirt,
down legs to battered shoes.
Life is a breeze!
I'm just making memories,
good times or bad,
(I'm making, I'm making)
I'm just making memories,
you're the best that I've had.
I'm just making memories,
good times or bad,
(I'm making, I'm making)
I'm just making memories,
you're the best that I've had.
(solo)
Uh I'm just making memories,
good times or bad,
(I'm making, I'm making)
I'm just making memories,
you're the best that I've had.
I'm just making memories,
good times or bad,
(I'm making, I'm making)
I'm just making memories,
you're the best that I've had.
No need to ask why
I'm mischief and joy,
I'm still the tall boy
who just wouldn't crawl.
I'm just making memories,
good times or bad,
no need to ask you're the best,
you're the best that I've had.
(I'm just making memories)
I'm just making memories
you're the best that I've had.
I'm just making memories,
good times or bad,
(I'm making, I'm making)
I'm just making memories,
you're the best that I've had.
I'm just making memories,
good times or bad,
(I'm making, I'm making)
I'm just making memories,
you're the best that I've had.

I gave you houses, I gave you furs,
I gave you them before you had the first.
I gave you kisses, I stroked your fur,
I love a woman now that you've had the first.
It's not you, I won't give you all.
It's not you, I won't give you all.
Get out of my face.
You took the houses, you took the furs.
You took another after you took the first.
You took my kisses, and those of fur,
now I love a woman and it's the first.
It's not you, I won't give you all.
It's not you, I won't give you all.
Get out of my face.
Get out of my face.
Get out of my face, out of my face.
(solo)
You know you have me to keep at will
whatever whets you fancy, whatever you will.
Took what you want, took what you will.
Take my schonker baby and drink your fill
It's not you, I won't give you all.
It's not you, I won't give you all.
It's not you, I won't give you all.
It's not you, I won't give you all.
Get out of my face.
Get out of my face.
Get out of my face, out of my face.

Gonna fly up to the moon,
raising all of my money.
Can't make it too soon,
I am sick of it down here.
Gonna rise up to the moon.
So this is how the world ends-
Not with a bang but with a wimpy.
Don't laugh too soon-
I am sick of it down here.
Gonna rise up to the moon.
Who needs all the troubles of today?
What's the difference anyway?
I feel out of focus, what can I do?
There's only you.
Gonna fly up to the moon,
raising all of my money.
Can't make it too soon,
I am sick of it down here.
Gonna rise up to the moon.
When they open the borders where will you be?
I'll climb the highest tree
to avoid the stampede-
And if I should fly
only you, you,
there's only you,
that would say goodbye.

You should see my world
how it crumbled inside.
You should see my world
from the inside.
Walls can have ears
but what about you.
It's not over,
it's not over yet.
Oh, I'll hold you in my arms,
I'll hold you in my heart,
I'm holding out for love.
Oh, I'll hold you in my arms,
I'll hold you in my heart,
I'm holding out for love.
But the truth of if is
I was never so brave
as to speak my own mind
to misbehave.
Mouths can tell lies
and they often do.
It's not over,
it's not over yet.
I'll hold you in my arms,
I'll hold you in my heart,
I'm holding out for love.
I will hold you in my arms,
I'll hold you in my heart,
I'm holding out for love.
But what if it's true,
what if it's true,
But what if it's true,
what if it's true.
You should see my world
how it crumbled inside.
You should see my world
from the inside.
Say it's a good one,
I so rarely do.
It's not over,
it's not over yet.
I will hold you in my arms,
I'll hold you in my heart,
I'm holding out for love.
I will hold you in my arms,
I'll hold you in my heart,
I'm holding out for love, for love.
I will hold you in my arms,
I will hold you in my heart,
I'm holding out for love, for love.
But what if it's true.
It is true.
I will hold you,
I will hold you.
(Whatever it takes to get through)
Hold you, hold you.
Hold you, hold you.
I will hold you in my arms,
I'll hold you in my heart,
I'm holding out for love.
I'll hold you in my arms,
I'll hold you in my heart,
I'm holding out for love.
I will hold you in my arms,
I'll hold you in my heart,
I'm holding out for love.
I will hold you in my arms,
I'll hold you in my heart,
I'm holding out for love, for love.
I'll hold you,
I will hold you,
I will hold you,
I will hold you.

So many problems,
so many dreams, so many hangdog faces.
So many ways to say
"oh! I'll never see another day
with you in it".
So listen while you can,
the first time that you ever have.
I just grew tired,
grew tired, grew tired of it.
I just grew tired,
grew tired, grew tired.
I can count your saving graces on two fingers.
Love them, sit on them.
You told me that you're not afraid to die.
And dying's easy, life that's hard.
I don't believe a word.
So listen while you can,
the first time that you ever have.
I just grew tired,
grew tired, grew tired of it.
I just grew tired,
grew tired, grew tired.
So listen while you can,
the first time that you ever have.
Life's not easy,
but it's all you have.
(solo)
So I can count on you.
Don't ever, never, never, never, never
let it split away.
And dying's easy?
I think I'll try it out today!
(I just grew tired),
grew tired, grew tired of it.
I just grew tired,
grew tired, grew tired.
I just grew tired,
grew tired, grew tired.
I just grew tired,
grew tired, grew tired
of love, love, love, love, love, love, love.

I can laugh about it now,
but couldn't then
you made me ache,
so I went for a run
in the driving rain
through your neighbourhood streets
and then there you were,
a shilouette in the wet night air.
Me in my pumps in
the pouring rain in
a kind of despair
upon finding you there,
couldn't whisper your name.
So, I can laugh about it now
by your side
Oh I can laugh about it now
by your side
Oh, sha la la la,
we're all in trouble,
is there room in the sky
for all of us angels here
on earth?
And the very next day,
through the shrieks of the crowd
came your careless self
your oh-so-couldn't careless self.
And you just pass me by,
your friends catch my eyes
"we know you love her,
we saw you dancing with her shadow".
And I couldn't disagree,
and for the life of me
I could call out your name,
and call out your name,
and call out your name.
Oh, I can laugh about it now
by your side
I can laugh about it now
by your side.
Oh, sha la la la,
we're all in trouble,
is there room in the sky
for all of us angels here
on earth?
Sha la la la,
oh we're all in trouble,
or is there room in the sky
for all of us angels here
on earth?, on earth?
I can laugh about it now
I can laugh about it now
by your side.
Oh, sha la la la,
oh we're all in trouble,
or is there room in the sky
for all of us angels here
on earth?
Sha la la la,
we're all in trouble,
or is there room in the sky
for all of us angels here
on earth?
Sha la la la,
is there room in the sky
for all of us angels here
on earth?, on earth?
