You shot your mouth off
and now you know I'm the talk of the town.
You shot your mouth off

You shot your mouth off
and now I find that I'm not alone.
You shot your mouth off
and then it's something I should have known.
When boys talk
they don't talk politics.
When boys talk

When boys talk

When boys talk
you know just what you'll find.

'cause everything really went right.
Don't get me wrong I don't want to brag
But it was just money in the bag

She said I never had a lover like you
you know just what to do.
And then I did it so many times
she started sayin' nursery rhymes.
She say

And when she asked to see me again
I couldn't wait to tell all my friends.
When boys talk

You even said that I gave you some cash
why don't you go on the radio
Or get your own T.V. show? Don't broadcast to everyone
'cause my love is one on one
I said one on one
One on one
I said one on one. But if you really think that you should
I'll just tell him that you were no good.
And you know that I would
and you know that I would.
My love is something special to share
so boy

And watch your mouth
say watch your mouth

You keep talking that same old know it hurt
Lipstick on your shirt
Cause it wasn't mine

I gave you all my trust and now it's turned to dust.
You were my boyfriend
I said my boyfriend
You were seen with other girls
cute pony tails and curl.
what's their names
I want to know their names.
I keep falling upon your line
love can really make you blind.
Will it ever change
nothing ever changes.
The record keeps spinning baby
round and round
Don't you know it's just the same old sound

You took my cadillac and never brought it back
Now that's not right

you've gone too far
you've got girls in my car.
You're driving me crazy
I said crazy
And oh
how you lied and oh how I cried
All through the night
all through the night.
Should've known you'd be the same I guess
I'm the one to blame
Will it ever change
nothing ever changes.
The record keeps spinning

Last night a D.J. saved my life
Last night a D.J. saved my life
yeah
'cause I was sittin' there bored to death
And in just one breath he said: You gotta get up
You gotta get off
you gotta get down
girl.
You know
you drive me crazy
baby
You've got me turning to another man.
Called you on the phone
no one's home -
Baby
why'd you leave me all alone?
And if it wasn't for the music I don't know what I do.
Last night a D.J. saved my life
Last night a D.T. saved my life from a broken heart.
Last night a D.J. saved my life
Last night a D.J. saved my life with a song.
You know I hopped into my car - didn't get very far
I know.
Before I had you on my mind - why be so unkind?
You've got your women all around
all around this town.
But I was trapped in love with you and I didn't know what to do
But then I turned on the radio
found out all I need to know.
- Check it out. -
Last night a D.T. saved my life
. . .
Last night a D.J. saved my life
. . .
listen up to your local D.J. - you better hear what he's got to sa
There's not a problem
That I can't fix
'cause I can do
On the double. And
you don't let it
Trouble your brain
'cause away goes trouble
Down the drain. Said
Away goes trouble down
The drain. - Well
This time, I think we got it right
Come and join the journey
But don't hold on too tight
This time, I think we got it right
I think we got it right
With everything we do
And everything we say
We justify our actions
We know no other way
It's a struggle to survive
In this ever evolving world
We adapt to the changes
But have we done things the right way?
Some say there's a light
At the end of the tunnel
But there's always, always
Two sides to every coin
Our future, our hope remains
It's a part of who we are
When everything changes
Working alone, engaging the stone, our lives went flashing past
No time to think, it was through in a blink of an eye,
With the outside world, watching on, living in silent hope,
Asking questions, theories tested, one of us sings our favourite song.
One way in, one way out,
Pitch black darkness, darker than the night
One way in, one way out,
...One way in...
Three hundred and twenty-one hours, locked inside the earth
Three hundred and twenty-one hours, before we'd see the sun again
Three hundred and twenty-one hours, every minute lasts a lifetime
Three hundred and twenty-one hours....
Days slowly passed, no sound at all, locked inside a claustrophobic nightmare,
Hearing sounds from up above, scratching, knocking, moving slow,
Only a matter of time they said, only a matter of faith
Plenty of that from inside and out, but not enough air to breathe...
One way in, one way out,
Pitch black darkness gives way to the light,
One way in, one way out,
Perilous journey, inching closer, moments at a time...
Three hundred and twenty-one hours, locked inside the earth
Three hundred and twenty-one hours, before we'd see the sun again
Three hundred and twenty-one hours, every minute lasts a lifetime
Three hundred and twenty-one hours....
‘Til the outside world...
‘Till the outside world...
‘Til the outside world comes crashing in
Three hundred and twenty-one hours, locked inside the earth
Three hundred and twenty-one hours, before we'd see the sun again
Three hundred and twenty-one hours, every minute lasts a lifetime
Living away from you, lovin' away from you
Thinkin' of things to do, different things...
Conjure up images, that I don't understand,
All of the plans we had, better left for the future.
Don't...Give...Don't Give Up Love
I still want you
I need you here with me
Don't...give...Don't Give Up, Love
I still need you
But there's something you can't see
I look at your photograph, your photograph looks at me
Think of what might have been, deep within
Surrender to feelings of hopelessness and despair
The only thing that keeps me sane is a light point in the darkness
Don't...Give...Don't Give Up Love
I still want you
I need you here with me
Don't...Give...Don't Give Up, Love
I still need you
But there's something you can't see
People laughed when I said we were made for one another
But you know I've felt that way from the start
All the plans we made, like all dreams would fade
And all that you could say, was now you're wide awake
You'd changed your point of view, you needed something new.
Don't...Give...Don't Give Up Love
I still want you
I need you here with me
Don't...Give...Don't Give Up Love
I still need you
But there's something you can't see
Don't...Give...Don't Give Up Love
Set my sights on a new day
Try to forget the past
Don't...Give...Don't Give Up Love
There's so much to remind me
PART 1 - THE GARDEN OF UNEARTHLY DELIGHTS
Welcome to the garden of dreams,
A place filled with kaleidoscopic sights.
Welcome to the essence of ‘not as it seems',
The place known as ‘The Garden....
Come and have the time of your life
Indulge in a concoction of the strangest wild life.
Be thrilled, be scared, live on the edge of the knife,
Come on down to The Garden...of Unearthly Delights.
Hieronymus got it right,
Ever-changing black to white.
Come in darkness, come in light,
To the Garden, (to The Garden, to The Garden) of Unearthly delights.
Shed all your cares and fan the fire
Enjoy the elevation of the hidden desire
To get all you want, just crawl into the mire
There's nothing like the Garden...of Unearthly Delights.
Hieronymus got it right,
Ever-changing black to white.
Come in darkness, come in light,
To the Garden, (to ‘The Garden')
Hieronymus got it right,
Ever-changing black to white.
Come in darkness, come in light,
To the Garden, (to The Garden, to The Garden) of Unearthly delights.
PART ll - DRAGON'S LAIR
Sinking low, drowning fast,
It's getting deeper, the longer you last.
Can't touch ground, can't see the top,
Don't look up or down, you might not stop.
You try and try, but try as you might,
You just can't crawl out of the night.
Shivering cold, all but stripped bare,
You're making your way to the dragon's lair.
Slowly going underground,
Treading soft, careful, don't make a sound,
Your mind is racing at a million miles an hour.
You find the strength from deep within,
You know this time you have to win,
You hope it's not too late for you to rise again.
Careful now, you're almost there,
Just a little further...
Now it begins.
PART lll - UNDERGROUND
What do you do when you are like this?
Can you see at all?
When it gets you, it spits you right in the face!
And when all that you have is gone,
There's no one left but you and you alone.
Slowly going underground,
Treading soft, careful, don't make a sound,
Your mind is racing at a million miles an hour.
You find the strength from deep within,
You know this time you've got to win,
You hope it's not too late for you to rise again.
Slowly going underground,
Treading soft, careful, don't make a sound,
Your mind is racing at a million miles an hour.
You find the strength from deep within,
You know this time you've got to win,
You hope it's not too late for you to rise again.
PART lV - REALIZATION
Finally knowing where you're bound,
Restoring life to barren ground
Your heart is beating so much faster than before.
You found the strength from deep within,
You knew this time you had to win,
You know it's not too late for you to rise again.
PART V - THE WAY BACK HOME
Now you've been to ‘The Garden'
What delights did you think you'd find?
Did you feel good in ‘The Garden'?
Enclosing everything, inside your mind.
Always something tearing you apart. (In ‘The Garden'.)
Always something breaking your heart. (In ‘The Garden'.)
Now you're free from ‘The Garden'.
You turned your back on that way of life.
Found in a better world, reason takes you another way.
Bound for a better land, where the season renews you every day.
Free..., In charge of my soul again.
I can see..., what's outward and what is within.
All around, hear the sound of two hearts that beat as one,
I've finally found my way back home..., to the place where my heart belongs.
Never alone..., turn my face to the rising sun
Joyful tears, no more fears, and my mind is finally clear,
“Like a flash of lightning, in an instant the truth was revealed.” (Nikola Tesla – 1856-1943)
Born at the stroke of midnight
Darkness was filling the skies
Thunder and lightning
The cry of a child
The birth of a mind that would rise
Son of a man of faith he'd find
Blessed with enquiring mind
Troubled and tested
Obsessive, compulsive
Numbers divided by three of a kind
Oh how I loved her
Nothing else mattered
She was my purpose in life
Clear was her message
The light from her eyes
Colorful beams of light
Baubles and jewels, repulsive and crude
Fear of the others unclean
Childhood remembered
Balanced and centered
Order from chaos precisely pursued
Oh how I loved her
Nothing else mattered
She was my purpose in life
Clear was her message
The light from her eyes
Colourful beams of light
Alternating currents and radio waves
Father of the art of Telautomatics
Unusual signals, abnormal life
The ranting and raving of a brilliant fanatic
Machinery driven by a power obtained
From any point in the universe
Fluorescent light globes and cosmic rays
Now let me present to you ‘The Egg of Columbus'
Like a beggar clothed in purple, that people take for king
Are all the theories and formulae, the downward spiraling
Fascinates and dazzles, causing all to go blind
With underlying errors, but a trick of the mind
Confusing metaphysics with pursuit of the truth
Clawing at the rubble for the fountain of youth
Alternating, compensating, re-create the soul
Madman, revolutionary, all parts of the whole
We are, we are...all parts of the whole, all parts of the whole (x2)
Showmanship and magic tricks, conjuring the dream
Unending thirst for knowledge carries us downstream
Alienating, complicating, with no self control
All for one and none for all, all parts of the whole
We are, we are...all parts of the whole, all parts of the whole (x2)
Oh how I loved her
Nothing else mattered
She was my purpose in life
Clear was her message
The light from her eyes
Colorful beams of light
Where's the ghost in the machine?
Where's the life blood for the dream?
Have we missed the opportunity to live forever?
In the next ten thousand years
Will we sow and reap with tears?
All alone, silence closing in on what was meant to be.
Here and now is the only future that is left for me, eternally.
I hear a voice cry out,
And realise it's mine.
Stretching every nerve in line
All alone, I sit and watch the bluebird flying high above.
Overwhelmed, I rub my eyes believing it's the end for love, it's not enough.
I touch the void within,
And fear it touches me.
Closing every door to hope.
It seems it's happening again
Like a long lost friend
'Til the very end
I hope that all those that are dear to me,
I look out my window, I see your reflection there
Images changing, I start to open my mind to you
The strength of your touch that binds us together, forever now
Now you're not far away there's not much to gain, and everything to lose
Oh, Angeliqua, I don't understand
Strange things are happening
I need to connect with you right now!
I remember the last time when I saw you smile at me
I wondered would I ever see your face again?
Or if I had a chance?
Oh, Angeliqua, I don't understand
Strange things are happening
I need to connect with you right now!
The one and only moment we had,
A distant memory, a fleeting glimpse.
It's all long gone, but not forgotten now,
Every facet of your face, remembered forever more.
I just can't get you off my mind,
Searching everywhere, frustration reigns
It seems that you've been lost in time
It's an endless journey, it's you I've got to find.
The time you were gone, we broke our connection
I needed you then, you gave me direction
There's a way out, if we're connected
You're leaving no doubt, left me unprotected
Oh, Angeliqua, give me your hand
Now things are happening
I need to connect with you right now!
Sometimes when I wonder, you wonder what we are.
This world of hate and war, you see it from afar.
Why can't we live in peace? A dream we want to share.
One man's journey, one man's happiness. Will we Care?
We see the pain And suffering. I wonder what we'll do.
Well there's gotta be an answer, we gotta think it through.
Why can't we live and love? It's what we all strive for.
One man's journey, one man's happiness. Let's be sure.
Take good care of this world.
We've been given too much to lose.
Shout it from the tops of the mountains to the depths of the oceans below.
When you're alone, all alone,
You reflect on what you see.
A life passes by and another is born,
A new world, let it be.
And if we see our lonely brother,
Will he understand?
We must love one another,
And share all this land.
We have to find a resolution to help us through these times.
While suits and ties in ivory towers destroy us with their lies.
Now's the time to make the change, to make it all come true.
One man's journey, one man's happiness. Let it through.
In a time of bitter reflection
In self made solitude
Have we come too far, is it much too late?
Have we overshot the mark?
In a time of desolation
As we search our inner selves
Do we blame each other or curse on high?
Do we live life in the dark?
Put on the mask and hide the pain
Don't let another inside again
Escape from the world, don't let them see
What you keep hidden among the debris
The cry of your heart, the warmth of your soul
Are drowned in the rivers of total control
And all that you had is slipping away
Replaced by illusion that starts to decay
Put on the mask and hide the pain
Don't let another inside again
Escape from the world, don't let them see
What you keep hidden among the debris
The cry of your heart, the warmth of your soul
Are drowned in the rivers of total control
And all that you had is slipping away
She lifts me up and takes me somewhere I've never been.
She reaches out and touches me, like no other.
This feeling never ends
This feeling never ends (feeling it in my heart)
Our love takes me to a higher place
My love, your love...
Eyes shining like the sunlight with that smile she sends to me
She is my future, and my friend, we are ever meant to be
Love never ends
Love never ends
Lying alone wrapped in a cocoon
Staring out from a brand new life
Helpless and needing, constant feeding
I'm out of the dark...
Years come and go and time flies past
Suddenly days take a challenging turn
Chemical changes, at war with the world
At war with myself
Here I Am... questions, all are made to ask
Here I Am... hoping, this precious gift will last
Here I Am... questions, all are made to ask
Here I Am... hoping, this precious gift will...
Carry me on as the cycle repeats
As the life force comes from within
Fully dependent, the care that I give
Is the only reality
Many more summers and winters have gone
But not many seasons ahead
Is it too late to make my peace
With a world I left behind
Here I Am... questions, all are made to ask
Here I Am... hoping, this precious gift will last
Here I Am... questions, all are made to ask
Here I Am... hoping, this precious gift will last.
Now it's time to make a choice
Sing alone or with one voice
In a choir of rescued souls, you don't have to be alone anymore
Throw off the ties that bind
See through the eyes once blind
Break down the barriers, no need for chains anymore
Maybe the time has come to set things right
To take a chance, and trust the maker
Stop listening to fools and you might plainly see
That some things are built to last forever
Now that you've seen the signs
Now you've endured the trials
A purpose redefined
You've found the part of yourself...that's been missing?
Now your destiny awaits
As all the past mistakes
Fade like flowers in the sun, flowers in the sun
And all that's left to do
Is embrace the sweet perfume
And take your place as son, take your place as son
And the artificial thoughts
Give place to all that's true
They're dropped into the sea and remembered no more
And the stains are washed away
As you start a brand new day
I saw you in my dreams last night, I felt you in my heart I was confused
I didn't understand what was going on
Our world was being torn apart, I was in two minds
Everything was going wrong, time to believe
And could we find a way out of this mess we're in?
I want to hold you close to me, so you can know
How I really feel for you, just one more chance
I didn't realize, I'm only human after all
It's just the way we are
Not the things we do
It's the dreams we make
And promises we break, so let's...
Give and take
Give and take
Give and take
We'll put it all aside, and forget the pain
Focus on our love, there's so much to learn
We are what we are, mistakes were made
Let's change our point of view and meet a brand new day
It's just the way we are
Not the way things turn
It's another long
Hard lesson to learn, unless we...
Give and take
Give and take
Give and take
It's just the way we are
Not the things we do
It's the dreams we make
When we're wide awake, so let's...
Give and take
Give and take
Give and take
Gone... in the blink of an eye
Gone... in the blink of an eye
Are you frightened..., of what the future might hold?
Are you paralyzed..., by what some prophet has told?
You bottle it in..., ‘til you're ready to explode
So you live in the moment..., but you carry the load
Don't think about the day when it all could be...,
Gone... in the blink of an eye
Gone... in the blink of an eye
You're left wondering where it all went wrong
In a matter of minutes..., it could all be gone...,
Gone in the blink of an eye
Do you live for tomorrow..., but forget today?
With so many around you..., you feel alone anyway
You can't predict the future..., no matter how hard you pray
Don't think about the day when it all could be...,
Gone... in the blink of an eye
Gone... in the blink of an eye
You're left wondering where it all went wrong
In a matter of minutes..., it could all be gone...,
Gone in the blink of an eye
No premonitions..., it's all completely unknown
You can't decode the future..., there's no Rosetta Stone
In a web you're entangled..., with no way back home
Innocence is strangled..., reasons overthrown
Do we all want to live forever?
Do we all want eternal life?
Who's frightened of dying?
Who's frightened to live?
Don't think about the day when it all could be...,
Gone... in the blink of an eye
Gone... in the blink of an eye
You're left wondering where it all went wrong
In a matter of minutes..., it could all be gone...,
Gone in the blink of an eye
Where did it all go wrong?
In a matter of minutes..., it was all long gone...,
Centuries passing in the blink of an eye
Minds caught in a cross-fire of confusion
Mixed emotions as you realise
That you're something less than human
We search the heavens for signs of life
When there's abundance on earth
A common problem, or lack of sight?
A new beginning, rebirth...in this...
Artificial world
Artificial life, artificial life
Superficial face
Molded by a knife, molded by a knife
Kids don't play with each other anymore
They live their lives in seclusion
Interaction to inactivity
Have you reached the same conclusion?
I talk to my friend on the other side of the world
Don't even know my neighbour
I interface and communicate all day
With cybernetic zombies in this...
Artificial world
Artificial life, artificial life
Superficial face
Molded by a knife, molded by a knife
Face to face is not what it once was
Have we lost much more than we've gained,
In this artificial world?
From strength to strength or insecurity's chains
Two steps forward, three steps back
In this artificial world. (x3)
You know that I had to remodel that patient's entire face?
And it was strenuous and very complicated.
Plastic surgery at times seems to me to be...very complicated...
Artificial world
Artificial life, artificial life
Superficial face
Isn't it amazing the way things seem to turn.
With so much confusion will I ever learn?
Everything around me seems to fall into place.
It seems like a dream, a vision. Will I fall from grace?
I remember travelling through a town long ago.
No money, just a surfboard that I would not let go.
Seeing was believing when people showed me the way.
I searched my heart and I lived for the next day.
Is this fate and illusion?
Fate. Is this happening to me?
Is it fate or my delusion?
Will I ever know my destiny?
Time to take hold of my life the old man would say.
A dream or a fantasy, it happens every day.
It's like a jigsaw puzzle ready to fit just like you and me.
This is my fate, my heart, my soul, this was meant to be.
Is this fate and illusion?
Fate. Is this happening to me?
Is it fate or my delusion?
Will I ever know my destiny?
Is this fate and illusion?
Fate. Is this happening to me?
Is it fate or my conclusion?
My life is changing constantly.
As the years go by I still wondered how I survived,
But there's always the thought, 'Have I arrived?'
I have a love and friend that guides me each day,
And knowing that my soul is showing me the way,
Showing the way.
Three galaxies to explore
Third planet fed by Sol
Three parts of an atom
Spinning 'round and 'round
Third world to gain control
Three notes in a triad
Three chords in the Blues
Three truths for a witness
Three wise monkeys watching you
Do all things come in threes?
The sweet triangular beauty
The soulful symmetry
Convinces absolutely
Three wonders of the pyramid
Reaches to the skies
Honoring three Egyptian gods
A warning to the wise
Three fates dance in triple time
Around three stars of Orion
Three parts to the mythic beast
The snake, the goat and the lion
Do all things come in threes?
The sweet triangular beauty
The soulful symmetry
Convinces absolutely (x2)
Three laws of robotics
Three gifts of the wise
Thirty three and a third
Knock three times to hear me
Do all things come in threes?
The sweet triangular beauty
The soulful symmetry
A journey that takes us to the ends of our lives,
A race never lost, never won.
More than a dream, less than a vision,
Adventure again just begun.
The question that separates man and beast,
In the hearts and minds of the being.
From rich man to poor, famine or feast,
To completeness of thought and feeling.
The search for something, the quest for truth,
The fountain of youth that keeps the traveller alive.
It's a journey that takes us to the ends of our lives,
A race never lost, never won.
More than a dream, less than a vision,
Adventure again just begun.
The answer is found within each heart,
It's alive and calculating.
Look to the finish which gives us the start,
The beginning of wisdom fulfilling.
The search for something, the quest for truth,
The fountain of youth that keeps the traveller alive.
It's a journey that takes us to the ends of our lives,
A race never lost, never won.
More than a dream, (we share together) less than a vision,
Adventure again just begun.
Love is all I see, and all I see is within you.
All I feel is within you.
And you by my side the path is complete.
Have you ever watched your child on a merry-go-round,
Or listened to the rain splashing to the ground?
Did you ever have a dream that was way out of sight,
Or gazed at the moon into the fading night?
You'd better slow down, don't move so fast,
Time is short, the music won't last.
Do you run through each day with nowhere to go?
When your mind is in a muddle, when you can't get thoughts to flow.
And when the day is done do you lie in your bed,
With a hundred-thousand voices rushing through your head?
You'd better slow down, don't move so fast,
Time is short, the music won't last.
Did you ever tell your friends, 'We'll do it tomorrow."
And in your haste, not see their sorrow?
Did you ever let a good friendship die,
Because you never had time to call and say "Hi!"
You'd better slow down, don't move so fast,
Time is short, the music won't last.
Time is running out for the planet earth.
Can't figure it out, this world, this life, this reason, what went wrong?
So many men and women tried to be brave and strong.
We've got to slow down before it's too late.
We're rushing here, we're rushing there and no-one seems to really care.
Where the hell are we going?
Just get there on time!
When you drive so wild to get somewhere,
You miss half the fun and you end up going nowhere.
And when you hurry through your day,
It's like an unopened gift thrown away.
You move at such a fast pace, you've got to take it slower.
Hear the music before the song is over.
It seems so far away, so long ago.
Remember when you wouldn't dream of letting go.
Things are not what they used to be.
Every waking thought takes me back to you.
The plans we made for a future bright
Evaporate like water under the blistering sun.
The pain of your memory paralyses me with fear,
But I'm still here.
And I'm still here, I'm still here.
I can't recall when my heart had mourned so much.
I look to the skies and wish there was no flight at all.
Except for the elevation of the human condition.
Moments of madness finally take their toll.
I'm still here, won't you feel me,
Won't you hold me, in your arms.
I'm still here, won't you call me,
I am waiting to hear your voice.
I'm still here, won't you call me,
Won't you let me know, that you are here.
A sharp intake of icy breath,
A chill runs down my spine.
A thousand years of struggle,
Echoes of another time.
Confounding me, astounding me,
Not knowing the final page.
Every chapter in the book,
Refers to a bygone age.
Waiting for something or someone,
To take me away.
And show me a better world,
A better way.
The visions I have of you remain so clear.
The warmth of your touch, the sound of your voice,
I'd swear you'd never left.
The scattered shards of memories like broken mirrored glass,
Are all I have of you now you have gone.
But I'm still here.
Can you feel me, can you touch me,
Can you take me for a while?
I'm still here.
Can I feel you, can I touch you,
“Does this feel weird to you?” she said to me
As she leaned forward in her seat
As we waited for the show to begin
I said, “Our life is just a set of complex equations”.
It's all relative to me
It's like that place you're in, between the dream and awakening (x2)
She said, “Sorry to hear that it didn't work out”.
And I said the same to her, but I'd always had my doubts.
Then your mind starts thinking of all the possibilities
Like a thousand ‘what if's?' competing for space in your head
It's all relative to me
It's a see-saw ride of love and hate, sometimes I feel the pain.
And there are so many questions that it's driving me insane.
And every now and then we find a solution.
But only when all other ways have reached the very end.
Why do we ride ourselves to the ground?
Why do we ride ourselves to the ground?
It seems that we push our emotions without cause. When will it end?
We feed our desires by finding the answers, this is the message I send.
An if there's hope we can understand.
And accept one another's point of view.
We dream and we strive to get there one day.
We only get one chance on this one world, one life beginning.
You're riding your friend, your heart is turning,
You're changing your ways.
You're riding your love, you're feeling complete,
These are better days.
Let's ride. Let's ride.
You're riding your feelings, you're riding your love,
You're riding the chain of life.
You're riding your dreams, you're riding your feelings,
You watch TV. You listen to the radio,
To find out what's going on in this world.
The media's intention is to attract attention,
And lead us all astray.
In a world gone crazy, our minds are lazy,
On an earth that's turning to dust.
I wonder sometimes which way we will go,
And what will become of us.
And so we're watching our lives go round.
The kid on the street is just another number,
In a system of crime and deceit.
Another new invention full of good intention,
Can't help with this poor boy's need.
In a world gone crazy, our minds are lazy,
On an earth that's turning to dust.
In our lives, if we work at what we do,
Conscious of things we left to rust.
And so we're watching our lives go 'round.
We drive fast cars that we can't control.
Why have them in the first place.
Everything around us moving so fast,
Gotta keep up the pace.
We're living our lives from day to day,
They say, 'He who hesitates is lost."
Is it any wonder the years fly by?
Do we ever stop to count the cost?
No matter what we do, we've gotta stick together,
'Cause we've only just begun.
On a world revolving around the sun,
We should stay together as one.
Watching our lives go 'round.
And so we're watching our lives go round.
We are watching, we are waiting for you.
Standing alone, on the edge of a dream,
I'm falling forward and you are there.
Over the mountain tops,
Over the ocean, spray on your wings,
You fly like an eagle, you're soaring free.
Catching the currents that
Will send you higher on Icarus' wings,
Defying gravity's realm.
Dance with the angels,
The force of the wind caresses your body,
Feel the warm touch of the sun light.
Don't get too close or you'll
cast a self doubt on what you were told
Escape from reality's hold
All of this time I've been waiting
To reach for the stars in the sky
You spend all your life recreating
And once more you wish you could fly
From the land that lay dormant the lushness appears
You search for perfection but nothing's there
Over the mountain tops
Over the ocean, spray on your wings,
You flew like the eagle so wild and free.
Catching the currents that
Will send you higher on Icarus' wings
Defying gravity's realm
I sit alone thinking of you
And what I have to do to have you near
I'm not the man I use to be,
You know I have changed my ways
You can see it so clear
Remember the time you planted the seed
You had no choice, you had no say
The testing times that lay ahead
The strength of love will find a way
When I'm down, down can I call on you?
When I'm down, down can you help me through?
When I'm down, down
It seems to let things pass me by
A world of delusion there's no reply
We can't sit back we got to move on
Because this life of ours without a lie is so strong
You lift me up when you call, my heart is pumping I feel like a fool
Now that you've gone so far away
You're in my heart each and everyday
When I'm down, down can I call on you?
When I'm down, down can you help me through?
When I'm down, down
Life isn't easy, we can work it out
This time I know its right
This time I know
Things are changing now
Its leaving me no doubt
I want to hold you tight
I want to hold you
Time is lost, I cant see
Everything is changing me
I'm down, down, down
When I'm down, down can I call on you?
When I'm down, down can you help me through?
PART l
Ice Caps are melting. Tides are turning.
Wild, wild life is crying out in vain.
Ozone depleting. Global Heating.
Child, child with no future. What a shame.
Can't you see the forest for the trees?
I forgot, we chopped them all down.
Don't you know you're getting hard to please,
Stop the rot before it comes 'round to you.
Building fences. Strong defences.
Keeps them in or does it keep us out?
Bridges burning, while seats of learning,
Sow, sow into mind fields seeds of doubt.
Can't you see it's getting hard to sleep?
Tossing and turning, not a moment's peace.
Don't you know what you sow is what you reap.
Wasted minute in a sea of apathy.
You seek to justify a better way of life.
The more things change the more they stay the same.
Why do you quantify yet wield a two-edged knife?
For you to win must you destroy the game?
The walls between us are getting wider.
Eye for eye is not the only way to go.
Can't you see there's enough insanity?
Life as it is not as it should be.
You lay down with dogs, you're gonna wake up with fleas.
You're scratching the surface, not treating the disease.
Justify the things we do to make a better place to live.
You can't satisfy both me and you.
There's so much of your life you've gotta give.
But, do you know the way home from here?
PART ll
Tears well up in rheumy eyes as I recall the time,
That all were silent, souls were torn apart.
Hear the voices rising against an unseen foe,
Terror in the minds and hearts.
Vindicate the actions, can't do this anymore.
When we gage reactions, when we're always keeping score.
Give and take is lost on us, we're always wanting more and more.
You ask the question 'Why I'm here and who are they?'
And 'What's been going on?'
And 'How could we let ourselves be led to such a place?'
Who is right and who is wrong?
It's the way we live and die in constant state of fear,
All we do is cover weakness, don't shed a single tear.
And every waking moment only serves to tell us why,
There's no second chances here.
You come to realise there's more to life than this.
A bowl of dirt revolving 'round a distant sun.
That everything that happens, happens for a reason,
And not some twist of fate or cosmic roll of dice.
So now's the time to breathe deep the atmosphere of love,
And feel the warmth around you, and start to look above,
The horizons of the many fears and doubts that cloud an open mind.
PART lll
The walls between us come crashing down.
Brother, my brother, the children hold the key.
Finally see just where we need to be.
Stand together, a greater destiny.
Now you know you don't get it all for free.
Will it Take you, elevate you, re-generate you.
No need to justify a better way of life.
The more we change the more we realise,
It's time to satisfy the yearning deep within.
And know the meaning of the sacrifice.
I overflow with senses enhanced
As the blood flows through my veins
Heart pulsating, I'm entranced
I feel it again and again
I look to the stars to find my path
I get no answers
Thoughts of confusion fill the air
It's you I'm needing
This Life, Our Life
Make it what you desire
This Life, Our Life
It's a gateway to the other side
Moments of passion and a thirst for truth
It's what we reach for
We are one as our spirits bond
We walk through an open door
See our way home, begin the dream
To seek the answer
To every question asked before
It's you I'm leading
This Life, Our Life
Make it what you desire
This Life, Our Life
It's a gateway to the other side
Can you feel it, our life?
Can you feel it? Hear me calling
Can you feel it, this life?
The more we fear, the more we hide
Our true expression, our soul's collide
Are we merely us, or one of them?
Do we build our future, or just condemn?
Needles that hide the lines
Faces that hide the smiles
In keeping an open mind
Have we lost a part of ourselves... lost a part of ourselves?
Flickering images, ghostly vision
Connect the dots, share the bandwidth
Expressionless faces, clinical traces
Harder to read but impossible to know
Needles that hide the lines
Faces that hide the smiles
In keeping an open mind
Have we lost a part of ourselves...lost a part of ourselves?
What sets us apart from the animals
Is what sets us apart from ourselves
Pure thought and reason
A life without meaning
Aware we're alive but not living
Like the lamb lies down to slaughter
Or a lion's fearsome roar
Consumed by inner demons
Cauterizing feelings
Or do we let our spirits soar?
Needles can't hide the lines
Faces can't hide the smiles
In keeping an open mind
We're really making up for the dark ages
In today's enlightened times
Everything running at the speed of light
No time for close contact...no time.
Five hundred years with barely a thought
Labeled a heretic, burned at the stake
Constant derision, judgment and fear
How far have we really come? What difference does it make?
Maybe the boys from Liverpool had it right
When they said 'Come Together'
But even the fool on a hill could plainly see
That nothing...nothing lasts forever
Avatars won't hide the scars deep inside
They're just a cry from the heart
Gentle tears and countless years are wasted...wasted...wasted.
When your life is falling apart
Maybe the boys from Liverpool had it right
When they said 'Come Together'
But even the fool on a hill could plainly see
That nothing...nothing lasts forever
It's five o'clock in the morning, I focus on the time,
As I wake from a dream, excitement races through my mind.
The wind beckons as the sun breaks the morning apart,
Heading down the same old track, the panoramic view accelerates my heart.
Nobody knows what it's like to be free, inside of you, inside of me.
Inside the power, inside of me
Rushing deeper than the deep blue sea
I can know what it truly means to be
Taken higher than the sky
Higher than the sky
You come to the same place you've been there before,
Blistering perfection, you see it from the melting shore,
The perfect day, the shimmering haze, the southern sky,
The force of nature, the sheer velocity takes me by surprise.
Nobody knows what it's like to be free, inside of you, inside of me.
Inside the power, inside of me
Rushing deeper than the deep blue sea
I can know what it truly means to be
Taken higher than the sky
Higher than the sky
Inside the power, inside of me
Rushing deeper than the deep blue sea
I can know what it truly means to be
Taken higher than the sky
Higher than the sky
Inside the power, inside of me
Rushing deeper than the deep blue sea
I can know what it truly means to be
Taken higher than the sky
PART l - 'JOURNYE'S FRIEND'
Lying on a hillside, evening lights are in the sky.
Something reaches deep within my mind and asks me why?
Thoughts are racing through my head,
About a message long thought dead,
I turned around and realised I stand alone on high.
On my way to understanding journey's I must make.
I'm not guaranteed tomorrow, if it shines or if it rains.
Pouring down all over me,
Like liquid questions, set me free.
All the time in the world is not enough for me to see.
Severed from reality I'm waiting for the day,
When I face totality, I hear the people say...
The journey's just begun.
Self awareness happens and we're taken by surprise.
Elevated to a place where dark is lifted from our eyes.
We take each moment as it comes,
And treasure all that has been done,
‘Cause every piece of puzzle fits, that now you realise.
Revelations blow your mind into a million words.
Part of creative grand design, the voices never heard.
It's a rushing symphony,
Heard throughout eternity,
With countless movements, never ending, ever changing chords.
Severed from reality we're waiting for the day,
When we face mortality then all the people pray,
'Cause all good things must end in time and time will ease the pain,
But only if it's mixed with love and trust and faith again,
In the journey's only friend.
PART ll - 'THE END OF THE BEGINNING'
(Instrumental)
PART lll - 'THE NEED'
So I want to believe you
I want to trust you
But why is it so damn hard?
I want to embrace you
Turn around and face you
But I can't seem to let down my guard.
I want to be free,
I want to be free.
It's there for the taking,
No point in forsaking,
All of the providence
Just give in to reason,
Now is the season,
And weigh all the evidence
You need to be free,
You need to be free,
You need to be free
Free from the insanity,
Free from the profanity,
Free from the constant mind-numbing pain.
Free from insecurity,
Free from all impurity,
From the feeling of bashing your head against a wall again and again.
Free from the critical,
Free from the political,
From all the games people constantly play.
Free from limitation,
From cheap imitation,
From the migraine pressure that binds you up, day after day.
PART lV - 'THE MAIN ATTRACTION'
I'm going to join the circus.
I'm running far from home.
I can't take all this pressure,
I want to walk alone.
Hard, from the beginning,
It's the only way that I've known,
You can't stop people winning,
Or taking what they don't own.
Maybe they'll accept me,
If I can toe the line.
Hope they don't reject me,
And treat me like bad wine.
Ahead in the distance,
I see the ringmaster smile.
Arms outstretched toward me,
He's seen me coming for miles and miles.
He tells me I'm the main attraction people come to see.
They've been waiting for years and years, just for me to appear.
PART V - 'THE PATH'
We sometimes wander from the path we rarely tread
Become the searcher even though we know what lies ahead.
The race is still there to be won,
Don't turn your back on the silent sun,
Listen to your heart not all the voices in your head.
You start to open up to other possibilities.
Even though awareness of them spreads like a disease.
Your senses run in overdrive,
Awakening feelings come alive,
Ready for the first new chapter of your destiny.
Now the journey's finally over, it's a brand new day,
Exploding like a supernova, light creates the way.
Hidden deep within your soul your destiny awaits,
Trusting and acceptance at the revelation's gate
Easy love comes and goes, human bond free our souls,
Feeling good at the time, live your dream, free your mind.
Don't knock me, help me out, this is what our life's about,
Give and take, bend don't break, now's the time for real not fake.
We aim for the same goal.
Peace of mind, let it show.
Common goals come and go,
Common goal let's release.
Common goals come and go,
Common plan never cease.
We fight sometimes, what a shame, there's no point and there's no gain.
Hold me close, take me home, we will never be alone.
Do you see? You think like me, this is how it's meant to be.
Find a way through the dark, trying not to miss the mark.
Our time has come to focus on the richness of life.
If we search long enough we will find what we're looking for.
There are two sides to every story, who takes the credit? Who takes the glory?
We all want the same in a mixed-up game, but no-one really knows for sure.
Our picture in a frame
I place a letter with your name
It´s time to clear the table
You´re working late again
It´s it, I don´t wanna wait in vain
It´s time to clear the table
Alright Alright Alright you say
This is not gonna work anyway
Alright Alright I sigh
Should have known better but at least I tried X2
Always an excuse for doing nothing
Explanations for everything
It´s time to clear the table
We need a new source of light
To feel alive and take the flight
It´s time to clear the table
Chorus
Alright alright alright
Now I see that nothing is alright not right
You like me, know that it´s over, it´s over
Uh…uhhh Uh... uhuhuh Earth quake
Alright alright alright, No more discussing the facts
Alright alright alright, No more feeling attacked
Alright alright alright,, I need a new kind of light
Alright alright alright,, to bring back a clear sight
It´s not gonna work this way
