Arrows turned inward are good for the soul.
I have a thing about arrows and diamonds and coal.
Pressure turning carbon to jewels.
Slowly they aim at my iron mark, flaming,
healing arrows.
They beat at my heart, angels turning metal to tools.
I don't care what you think has got you down
You can turn it around, I don't care what you think.
Turn it around, turn it around, turn it around.
The times that I knew I could never get through
That's when I grew up the most, and alone sounds so sad
But alone I found the best friend I had
I don't care what you think has got you down
You can turn it around, I don't care what you think.
Turn it around, turn it around, turn it around.
Arrows turned inward are good for the soul,
Piercing through every callus, they always get through
My target is a heart no-one fools.

The arrow's too dull to stick in me now

I see You hiding there
Behind the orphan's stare
Every time I breathe the air
There's no denying
From the oceans wide
To the star-filled sky
To my baby's cry
Oh, You're everywhere
There's nowhere I go
Your glory isn't revealed
I just look up and see it
Everywhere I go I see arrows
Pointing the way back to You
Everything I see grabs a hold of me
Leading me straight back to You
Maybe Plato's right
There is more than meets the eye
What I witness with my eyes
Tells a bigger story
Like the serpent on the staff
Like the ark that Noah had
You're painting pictures that, oh
Echo Your glory
When Moses struck the rock
The secret was spilled
'Cause the spring is Jesus
Make me an arrow
Put me in Your bow, pull back and let go
And send me wherever You want me to go
I'll be Your shadow, You lead I'll follow You
Everywhere I go I'm an arrow
Leading the way back to You
In pleasure or in pain, just like sunshine and rain

I LOVE ROCK N ROLL
SO PUT ANOTHER DIME IN THE JUKE BOX BABY
I LOVE ROCK N ROLL
SO COME ON TAKE YOUR TIME
AND DANCE WITH ME
I SAW HER DANCIN' THERE
BY THE RECORD MACHINE
I KNEW SHE MUST HAVE BEEN ABOUT SEVENTEEN
THE BEAT WAS GOING STRONG
PLAYING MY FAVORITE SONG
AND I COULD TELL IT WOULDN'T BE LONG
'TIL SHE WAS WITH ME (YEAH ME)
AND I COULD TELL IT WOULDN'T BE LONG
'TIL SHE WAS WITH ME (YEAH ME)
SINGIN'
I LOVE ROCK N ROLL
SO PUT ANOTHER DIME IN THE JUKE BOX BABY
I LOVE ROCK N ROLL
SO COME ON TAKE YOUR TIME
AND DANCE WITH ME
----
SHE SMILED SO I GOT UP
AND ASKED FOR HER NAME
THAT DON'T MATTER SHE SAID
'COS IT'S ALL THE SAME
I SAID CAN I TAKE YOU HOME
WHERE WE CAN BE ALONE?
NEXT WE WERE MOVIN' ON
AND SHE WAS WITH ME (YEAH ME)
NEXT WE WERE MOVIN' ON
AND SHE WAS WITH ME (YEAH ME)
-----
SINGIN'
I LOVE ROCK N ROLL
SO PUT ANOTHER DIME IN THE JUKE BOX BABY
I LOVE ROCK N ROLL
SO COME ON TAKE YOUR TIME
AND DANCE WITH ME
-GUITAR SOLO-
I SAID CAN I TAKE YOU HOME
WHERE WE CAN BE ALONE?
AND I COULD TELL IT WOULDNT BE LONG
TILL SHE WAS WITH ME (YEAH ME)
AND SHE BE MOVIN' ON
AND SINGIN' THAT SAME OLD SONG
YEAH WITH ME
------
SINGIN'
I LOVE ROCK N ROLL
SO PUT ANOTHER DIME IN THE JUKE BOX BABY
I LOVE ROCK N ROLL
SO COME ON TAKE YOUR TIME
AND DANCE WITH ME
(CHORUS REPEATS)

"Show me a sign!"
I scream I scream
"Then maybe I, then maybe I can believe"
How much convincing do I really need
After everything that's already been
This master craft of certainty
Being so sure of what I cannot see
It's another kind of frequency
It's some other way to make believe
And now my faith it over rides
The clockworks of my mind
As I throw my caution into Your winds
It's some other adrenalin
Not everything is understood
Oh merely with a brain
Although I wish it could
But hope knows it all too well
Just sitting unafraid on this carousel
As my faith it over rides
The clockworks of my mind
As I throw my caution into Your winds
It's some other adrenalin
Cause I'm all in and there's nothing that I can do
But hold my breath while I am waiting here for you
I'll be sitting on your promise like a stubborn mule
Just the flip of Your switch and we'll all be through
Cause I'm all in tell me what are You gonna do

wha-ah-ha-ah-ha-ah-ha-ah-ha-woah
I can't decide if You are crazy or just really, really brave
You make us all the same, all able to choose our private fate
You make it so we choose
To not or to love You
To do it just to know
Which way we'd rather go
Straight back into your arms
Or lost to worldly charms
You really have to know
You really have to know
Wha-ah-ha-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-woah
And just in case the risk is not quite enough of a chance for You
You go and make us the object of all Your affections
Of all that You do
So when you lose it's big
Cause we're your everything
With all this on Your brain
You are still unafraid
Because You know that some
Some will return this love
Oh and it's all You want
It's all you'll ever want
Wha-ah-ha-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-woah
Oh it's poetry – it's genius!
You don't want robots, You want our love
So You let us carry on like this
You don't want robots
You want our love
Oh and we blame You and we call You names
But You don't want robots
You want our love
But still you give it to us all the same
All the same
All the same

I can't decide if You are crazy or just really really brave
You make us all the same all able to choose our private fate
You make it so we choose
To not or to love You
You do it just know
Which way we'd rather go
Straight back into Your arms
Or lost to worldly charms
You really have to know
You really have to know
Wha-ah-ha-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-whoah
And just in case that risk is not quite enough of a chance for You
You go and make us the object of all your affections
Of all that You do
So when You lose it's big
Cause we're Your everything
With all this on Your brain
You are still unafraid
Because You know that some
Some will return this love
Oh and that's all You want
That's all you ever want
Wha-ah-ha-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-whoah
Oh it's poetry it's genius
You don't want robots
You want our love
So You let us carry on like this
You don't want robots
You want our love
Oh and we blame You and we call You names
But You don't want robots
You want our love
But still you give it to us all the same
All the same
All the same

I sit alone in the darkness
Planning the perfect approach
The first step is always the hardest
The first move means the most
The more I think about it, the more confused I am
I could come out and say it then you'd know where I stand
Would make it so much easier…
Chorus:
You meet in the middle
Give me half a chance (whoa, ooh, whoa)
Meet me in the middle
Give me half a chance (oh baby!)
Meet me in the middle
It's a one-sided situation
A one-way love affair
I know if I remain silent
We end up going nowhere
The way it's building up in me I don't know what to do
Tell the truth and take the consequences, feel like a fool
Would make it so much easier…
(Chorus)
I got to know which way to turn
To let you know or act nonchalant
I may be wrong to come on strong
Scare you away and that's not what I want
The more I think about it, the more confused I am
I could come out and say it then you'd know where I stand
Would make it so much easier
Oh, so much easier

This is why you don't feed the animals
That live inside my head
This is why you don't encourage me
Mingling with the dead
I won't remove guards from my wall
I won't shed my outer shell
And expose my heart
I'll die long before you get to me
And dark and dismal was my song
But I will never again sing along
I swear I've been cowardly for quite some time
Now this melancholy boy is gonna shine
Let's go, arrows out
I'm gonna go
Let's go, gonna go arrows out
And when it gets dark
Sometimes my heart leads me
Into the woods
There I drink a sinister mead
That drives away the good

Take another right
Make another wrong
All we do is fight and
Write another song
So fly into the light
Look's like no one's home
It's just another night
You'll have to spend alone
Don't be afraid
One more life to save
Go, fire-filled skies with arrows
Expose your shadow
No one left to save me,
I have to save everybody else
No one left to shape me
Who comes when I cry help?
No one can save me
No one can see my face
This love I'm feeling has found no resting place
Don't be afraid one
One more life to save
Go, fire-filled skies with arrows
Expose your shadow
You won't recognize me

All I have is a passion for rock'n'roll
In a maze where hundred arrows prick my soul
Love is an arrow
Friends are like arrows
Help me out of this sorrow
Music is an arrow
But it gives me tomorrow
And help me out of this sorrow
Oh no, there must be more to life
I know it was the truth
Just take a look at me, the autumn and you
Love is an arrow
Friends are like arrows
Help me out of this sorrow
Music is an arrow
But it gives me tomorrow
And help me out of this sorrow
Ore is life, just the the time in there, the arrows try
to kill me
A destination this no learn
Ore is life, just the time in there, the arrows try to
kill me
Just like a river of no return
Father tell his life is lovely and nice
But maybe a million arrows kill him before
Love is an arrow
Friends are like arrows
Help me out of this sorrow
Ore is life, just the the time in there, the arrows try
to kill me
A destination this no learn
Ore is life, just the time in there, the arrows try to
kill me

You've got an arrow in your hand please don't shoot me down again
You've got an arrow in your hand please don't shoot me down
Because you love me and then you love me not
Like a little girl watching red rose petals drop
I'll dive into your puddle 'cause i don't even care
Think what you've gotta think
Stare if you've gotta stare
I don't care
Stare if you've gotta stare
You've got an arrow in your hand please don't shoot me down
You've got an arrow in your hand please don't shoot me down
Because you love me and then you love me not
Like a little girl watching red rose petals drop
I'll dive into your puddle 'cause i don't even care
Think what you've gotta think
Stare if you've gotta stare
I don't care, I don't care
Stare if you're gonna stare
You've got an arrow in your hand please don't shoot me down again

On occasion, my mouth still bleeds
From when I cut it when I was young
Give me, give me one more chance
To make my old friends laugh
To be just a footnote in their paragraph
Saw I was down but still looking up from the ditch
So they grew their nails out
They were just trying to scratch my itch
If I started over, I'd do the same again
If I started over, I would do the same
This is not my swan song or adieu so beware
When they fly my white flag in the air
I'll shoot it down
I'll shoot it down
With arrows
Because I spend all of my time
Trying to find what I need
What I was biting the hand that fed me
It saw I was down but still looking up from the ditch
So it grew its nails
It was just trying to scratch my itch
If I started over, I'd do the same again
If I started over, I would do the same
This is not my swan song or adieu so beware
When they fly my white flag in the air
I'll shoot it down
I'll shoot it down
With arrows
So I stopped running, started walking instead
It was all in my head
Nothing's against me
This war was more civil, I realized
I had to, secede from both sides
I left myself with no ride home
But it's the last night of summer
And I don't mind walking alone
Remember when we ran naked
In the field behind your house
If I started over, I'd do the same again
If I started over, I would do the same
This is not my swan song or adieu so beware
When they fly my white flag in the air
I'll shoot it down
I'll shoot it down

The crowd makes a cheer,
of vengeance and fear, you have proven yourself as a threat,
Threat!
By thunder and hell that was'nt the purpose -you yell!
You just wanted your pages wiped clean.
Cause I spy with my bloodshot eye en crisis that runs skindeep.
When the adrenaline rise and the meters turn red,
your bound to retaliate.
So please.
Clearify, your motives,
your motives have changed.
You shape your thoughts.
Like arrows,
before you draw blood
On me.
Forget what you think, what you say to yourselves,
None, could do this like you.
Stay in on the chase, the odds shoot through the roof.
Why should'nt you really dare?
What if you fail... You cannot fail... That wouldnt be right.
Clearify, your motives,
your motives have changed.
You shape your thoughts.
Like arrows,
before you draw blood
On me.
Keep your head above the surface.
Keep your head above the foul (?)!
Clearify, your motives,
your motives have changed.
You shape your thoughts.
Like arrows,
before you draw blood
On me.
And if, in one way you could follow your plans through the day,
and jea -wouldnt that be great?
