[Chorus]
God bless the cold winds and its refreshing consequence, uh-huh,
Oh please return.
Hellas did tremble
Hellas did go away
Finding it difficult
To stand in its fury
Over the ironing board
But still this golden curl
Vented its Hellas fury
Return, baby baby baby come back to me.
Come back to me, return.
I was told to go easy and this one did
But still this golden creature raised its fury
Head sparkles
Return
Baby baby baby come back to me
Return
Is that a hair extension?
It's soaked in hair lotion
How can you smell your own head?
Return
Baby baby baby come back to me
I'll change the latch on the door
I'll get locks all over
I ran on up ahead
Sparkle and pander her
Oh I really love it here!
Oh you've thought of it all!
Candlelight! coconut ice! and fur on the floor!
And I reeely love the way you wear your hair
And nothing more...
So tell me...
What is going on?
I was sure that I'd already gone...
But all you say is we're all spinning
It's really not just me
But that doesn't seem to help me figure out how I can be
A prisoner in pvc a minute after three...
It didn't used to be like this
Must be all that sleep I missed...
Yeah but I really love it here!
You've done everything to please!
Stolichnaya! banco de gaia! bad timing on tv!
And I reeely love the way you turn
Your smile into striptease...
But I'm still not sure what's going on
And I can't help feeling something's wrong
But you just say that we're all spinning
And it's really not just me
But that doesn't seem to help me figure out how I can be
Still wrapped inside your rubber as I wriggle at your feet...
No it didn't used to be like this
Must be something strange I kissed...
Maybe when my eyes were closed?
So tell me what is going on?
I'm sure that I've already gone...
But all you say is we're all spinning
And it's really not just me
But that doesn't seem to help me figure out how I can be
Still fixed inside your fantasy
A tv refugee...
So tell me what is going on?
Just can't help feeling something's wrong...
Or is it right this way I feel?
Someone get me out of here!!!
I'm waiting on my knees...
Oh I really love it here!
Oh you've thought of it all!
Candlelight! coconut ice! and fur on the floor!
And I reeely love the way you wear your hair
And nothing more...
So tell me...
What is going on?
I was sure that I'd already gone...
But all you say is we're all spinning
It's really not just me
But that doesn't seem to help me figure out how I can be
A prisoner in pvc a minute after three...
It didn't used to be like this
Must be all that sleep I missed...
Yeah but I really love it here!
You've done everything to please!
Stolichnaya! banco de gaia! bad timing on tv!
And I reeely love the way you turn
Your smile into striptease...
But I'm still not sure what's going on
And I can't help feeling something's wrong
But you just say that we're all spinning
And it's really not just me
But that doesn't seem to help me figure out how I can be
Still wrapped inside your rubber as I wriggle at your feet...
No it didn't used to be like this
Must be something strange I kissed...
Maybe when my eyes were closed?
So tell me what is going on?
I'm sure that I've already gone...
But all you say is we're all spinning
And it's really not just me
But that doesn't seem to help me figure out how I can be
Still fixed inside your fantasy
A tv refugee...
So tell me what is going on?
Just can't help feeling something's wrong...
Or is it right this way I feel?
Someone get me out of here!!!
Wonder where that plane is leading to
Wonder where that boat will ever stop
Wonder if this path I am treading
Will disappear and let me drop
Down to a pen that's surely waiting
Down to the hell I know that I deserve
Even though the spirit is willing
The flesh is blackened to the deepest nerve
When will you learn?
The hurting, it will return
When will you ever learn?
This feeling is all you can discern
Oh my heart, it is a-broken
More than waste upon the golden sand
Fly my love on wings of mute confusion
Oh, in Never-Ever land
When will you learn?
When will you ever learn?
The hurting, it will return
This feeling is all you can discern
When will you learn?
When will you ever learn?
This feeling is all you can discern
The hurting always will return
Return
Why did I give you my soul
When I knew there'd be nothing in return
You forgot what it's like
Now there's noweher left to run
Maybe, maybe you can hear it in the words I say
Cause I don't like what I see
And I've been living with it everyday
So make it now
Or turn around and change your ways
Don't take me
Don't take me down that lonesome road again
Cause I don't think no, no
I don't hink that I could take the strain
Yeah, I'm breathing out
But I surely won't be giving in
Yeah, yeah
[Pimp C]
It all started with a Pimp C, bitch
So what the fuck is up
Told em somethin good
Ease up my muthafuckin cut
Cause if you don't really wanna fuck wit a trill nigga
From the trill villa wit a steel trigga land of the real killers
Pop Pop muthafucka there you go
I'ma bust em on yo ass if you don't ease up off me ho
Cause trill niggas don't carry no sugar in they nutsac
Just big fat balls and a trigga in they backpack
So you gon give me my money, but you don't hear me though
But I bet you hear me when I fill you with bulletholes
P.A. nigga, trill ass nigga,
How you figga you can buck me down nigga?
Mr. big man, Mr. big time, give me what's mine
Instead of buying cars for a bitch named sunshine
Give me what's mine, give me what's mine
before it come down to triggas
Shit, it's the return of the trill ass niggas
Bitch
It's the return of the trill ass niggas
It's the return of the trill ass niggas
But you can't hear me
It's the return of the trill ass niggas bitch
[Bun B]
Yea muthfuckas
I figured you run, I figured you run, when I pull
Triggas to guns, that triggas to guns P.A. fool
A nigga named Bun, a nigga named Bun, no more sun, no more shine
Say hello to the nine milly (Buck!) millameter (Buck! Buck!)
Money tight glock, bustin them shots
when I break yo ass off somethin hot
Niggas steady catchin lead to the head, I never aim for the chest
Muthafuckas sportin bulletproof vests
So I guess, when I start blastin, niggas start passin away
Dearly beloved, I had yo ass gathered today
So I can lay you hoes in a line, draw you to a square
Put them hands on yo ass, and bail on out
Pass the pen, Pimp C and Bird, I take the blunt
Now surprise, surprise
I'm gettin chinese eyes
In this bitch here's a switch
I might slang, bang then bail and burn
Waves in low tide
Sounds of the night
And my memories echo:
"Back again!"
Stranger that I am
In my own land
Where noone will
Remember my name
When you hear me calling
Will you be there?
When you see me falling
Will you be there?
Time was the force
Brought me back on course
In the darkness
Distant fires on a strand
Time is my disguise
Against hostile seeking eyes
And the waves wipe out
My footprints in the sand
When you hear me calling ...
Now my time has come
Return into the sun
Cause I've always been
Searching for you
If I win, if I loose
No charge, no excuse
All my wandering made sure:
"My aims are true!"
All hail! The phrase of tainted prose
The etchings that cover the rose
Well of thought of you, must surely be denied
For impure are the arts
That are painted in your eyes
Tonight, our lies shall be known, my faithless one
Tonight, our lies shall be known
And I'll await my heart's return
Resting in the shadow of a tomb
For a presence ever lost
I won't be the circus for you to star in
I won't leave you roses to watch them die
You won't be the heartache that keeps me sleepless
You won't be the songs that I could never write
I don't want to stay, I don't want to fall
I don't want to have to see you leave me
I don't want to stay, I don't want to fall in love
Maybe I'm a fake, maybe you're a lie
Maybe our last chance died with last night
I don't want to stay, I don't want to fall in love with you again
I won't be a fortress for you to hide in
I won't be the first one you think to call
You won't be the regrets that I can't live with
And we won't be the last ones to ever have to lose it all
When we're scared and lonely
We will tell ourselves we're only
Just a word from what we needed
But we know that this ain't right
I don't want to stay, I don't want to fall
I don't want to have to see you leave me
I don't want to stay, I don't want to fall in love
Maybe I'm a fake, maybe you're a lie
Maybe our last chance died with last night
I don't want to stay, I don't want to fall in love with you again
I can't stay
Than you can make your mark
Running
Running away
You just don't think you can face it
So you move
Running away
You don't think you're fast enough
It's calling
Beyond to me
It's calling
From beyond the stars and the sun
It's calling
Calling for me to help you
To find what you're looking for
You're running away
You're running away
From the people you love
The people you hate
Everything you're running away from now
Smarter
Getting smarter
You're hiding from demons so they can't find you
Getting
Getting smarter
You're stealing away in the pouring rain now
Running
Running away
Running from all your daily struggles
You're moving
Running away
From everything you could ever love then
It's calling
Beyond to me
It's calling
From beyond the stars and the sun
It's calling
Calling for me to help you
To find what you're looking for
You're running away
You're running away
From the people you love
The people you hate
Everything you're running away from now
I know what
You're going through
See my wrist
It bleeds now too
The day-to-day
The night-to-night
You and I both
Live not to fight
To run
To run
To run
You and I both
Live not to fight
To run
To run away
Away
Away
Away
It's calling
Beyond to me
It's calling
From beyond the stars and the sun
It's calling
Calling for me to help you
To find what you're looking for
You're running away
You're running away
From the people you love
The people you hate
Everything you're running away from now
You're running away
Don't run from me
From people you love
People you hate
Don't run from everything now
I won't run from everything now
If you won't run from everything
If you won't run away
Don't run away
Don't run away
Don't run away
Don't run away
On the balcony where you were thought to be
Years ago I carried my burden
Now these times are gone and the things have changed
I have seen the uttermost horrors
On the balcony where you were thought to be
Now I've seen how world keeps turning
Yes, those times are gone and the things have changed
For better or worse - I could ask anyone
Now I'm returning to home of my yearning
Songs I have sung remain this day
Now I'm returning - not anymore feeling longing for you
Now its years since your body went flat and even memories of that
are all think and dull, all gravel and glass. But who needs them
now -- displaced they're easily more safe --
the worst of it now: I can't remember your face.
Return.
For a while, with the vertigo cured, we were alive -- we were pure.
The void took the shape of all that you were, but years take their toll,
and things get bent into shape...
Antiseptic and tired, I can't remember your face.
Return.
You were supposed to grow old. Reckless, unfrightened, and old,
you were supposed to grow old.
In time, you'll find that it's so calm and serene
But not for now, it'll smash into your dreams
Hey, hey
Inside your mind, you keep everything so clean
But not for now, you're so keen to fill your dreams
If you want me, my feet are planted firmly in your garden
Unattached, in awe, oh, I'm ready for super stardom
If you want to, we could bounce along the road
Like no-one else does
Unavailable to see what'll happen to me
It never happens to me
Oh, and this means nothing to me
It never happens to me
Now you're dedication is so strong
But when your time is up you're gone
Sometimes, I find
That it's so wrong in-between
The times I try
To work out what you mean
Inside your mind, you keep everything pristine
But not for now, you're so keen to fill your dreams
Hey, hey
If you want me, my feet are planted firmly at your back door
I've been tired, I've tried now, I'm ready to declare war
If you want to, we could bounce along the road
Like no-one else does
Unavailable to see what'll happen to me
It's so simple, a stranger's just a stranger that you've not met
Just talk it through and find out if you have yet
It's too easy to find out if there's something here to live for
Unavailable to see what'll happen to me
It never happens to me
Oh, and this means nothing to me
It never happens to me
Now you're dedication is so strong
But when your time is up you're gone
In time, you'll find that it's so calm and discreet
But not for now, the return will be complete
This love is like a raging lion
It's a heart of gold
That's given you a place to go.
You try so hard to make it on your own
You've got to understand I'm making myself known.
Come back to the airwaves, burn the ashes
Raise the grave up to the sun.
Sing of Me, sing of My love
Like a bullet from a gun "SHOT" through the airwaves.
"BANG, BANG"
Raise the dead.
Sing of Me, sing of My love
Like a bullet from a gun.
It's time for me to bring the black back
And capture the songs and take them to the streets.
If we can sing it loud, we might just see it now
We've got to shake the world, we've got to lift our voice.
I seen the bright lights of Memphis
And the Commodore Hotel
And it was there beneath the streetlamp
Where I met a southern belle
Well she took me to the river
Where she cast her spell
And it was 'neath that Memphis moonlight
She sang this song so well
If you'll be my Dixie chicken
I'll be your Tennessee lamb
And we can walk together
Down in Dixie land
Down in Dixie land
We hit all the hotspots
My money flowed like wine
Till the lowdown southern whiskey
Began to fog my mind
Well I don't remember church bells
Or the money I put down
On the white picket fence and boardwalk
At the house on the edge of town
Now but boy do I remember
The strain of her refrain
And the nights we spent together
And the way she called my name
If you'll be my Dixie chicken
I'll be your Tennessee lamb
And we can walk together
Down in Dixie land
Down in Dixie land
It's been a year since she ran away
Guess that guitar player sure could play
She always liked to sing along
He was always handy with a song
Then one night in the lobby
Of the Commodore Hotel
I by chance met a bartender
Who said he knew her well
And as he handed me a drink
He began to hum a song
And all the boys there at the bar
Began to sing along
If you'll be my Dixie chicken
I'll be your Tennessee lamb
And we can walk together
Down in Dixie land
Down in Dixie land
If you'll be my Dixie chicken
I'll be your Tennessee lamb
And we can walk together
Down in Dixie land
Down in Dixie land
Last night I lay dreaming
Of days and nights gone by
My heart was drowning
Underneath a bridge of sighs.
Return to Me,
Return to Me my child
Return to Me
Return to Me my child
I wept within a vision
Followed with a will
Saw Him there, His cross to bear
And I am grieving still.
Conception of a disappointment
In an afterbirth of sin
Wasted years of denial
Too much pride and the fear of man.
Return, return to me
Don't leave me here
With nothing but the feeling of falling
Return, return to me
Our memory can hold me in its arms in the morning
You know with all that I've enjoyed
You were my strength and more
Knowing you're gone but I pray for your
Return, return to me
Don't let me be alone without a hope that your love brings
I know the world sees what it wants to see
But only you knew me
I sing to you and the memories
Return, return to me
Don't let anyone, anything
Come between us
Return
Just promise me
And forever
If I lost anything
Are you forever
This worship break into
Forever
I will pray till you
Return
On the other side of heaven – brightness
Magnificent light goes on
I have left my body motionless
Some people mourn for it
They can’t understand real freedom
They weep for my prison, the cage of soul
The pictures of life shows the pass
The pieces of life I’ve lived over
I’m going to the place full of love
The place I know I have seen
I’m energy
I’m a thought
But something I’ve lost
Darkness disturbs to my thoughts
Wonderful light is dying
Something is pulling me down
I can see my cage
I’m energy
I’m thought
I can see those people
I can feel uneasiness
That restrain my energy
I can feel the pain of thoughts
They don’t cry
I’m in my body again
Wounded body
Suffering body
Why I had to return?
Why I couldn’t stay?
I’ve returned to my body
Wounded body
Why I had to return
Why?
I’m energy
If he comes back I know just what he'll say: "Let's show this day a proper night and
celebrate!" Long gone the weeks of white lines and punctured veins. The day all generations
cried, "Sign em up! Sign em up! Sign em up! Boy, we're gonna make a man outta you."
"Line me up! Line em up! Line em up! Man, now we're gonna make a ghost of you." He came
back, but he wasn't the same. Sleep showed him nights lit like the day, and life for the take.
I caught him in the morning pulling sandbags from the drain while his imagination
shouted, "Sign em up! Sign em up! Sign em up! Boy, we're gonna make a man outta you."
"Line em up! Line em up! Line em up! Man, now we're gonna make a ghost of you." Remember
when we played Wounded Soldiers? Broken glass and half empty bottles dying fast.
We stayed awake till it was yesterday and long past. But he never really escaped wounded
Awaiting on the last days
The bold red lettering has set the course
We live preceding birth pains
The earthquakes shake the hands that fight the wars
Like a stranger in the night
Showers falling from the sky
The rider left the gates wide open
Then Heaven hums a new song
The lights glow dim, oh, oh
A nation set on tombstone
The angels took us in, oh, oh
Be ready for deceivers
They claim, "I am the Christ" but have no heart
Let rest the unbelievers who deny having a role
But they play their part
Like a stranger in the night
Showers falling from the sky
The rider shows his face so glowing
Then Heaven hums a new song
The lights glow dim, oh, oh
A nation set on tombstone
The angels took us in, oh, oh
So this is it, it's how it comes to an end
Clean us out like the floods that rained in
You?re the thief in the night but we stand
So this is it, it's how we comes to an end
We'll go, we'll go
On the hour that you left us unknown
We're standing firm
The trumpet sounds
Then Heaven hums a new song
The lights glow dim, oh, oh
A nation set on tombstone
The angels took us in, oh, oh
Then Heaven hums a new song
The lights glow dim, oh, oh
A nation set on tombstone
We don't mind, they don't care, they wasted all our time,
we're floating in mid-air One more try to change their
minds, they're searching for a sweeter fruit upon a
higher vine And though we waited so long they said 'not
this time' Every move is a move worth taking, one step,
two step, three step... There's no day, there's no night,
its an industry that changes like the rising tide We will
fight to our last breath, we will be seen, we will be
heard, out in the streets, to death And though we waited
so long they said 'not this time' Every move is a move
Sing me a song, the last one in my life.
My time has come, life has been too short.
Stay in my dream, so I can take you with me.
Sing me a song, that I'll never forget.
See these hands of mine, see how they're trembling
But power has gone and right here at the end
I used to be wild, I was one of the living
City of the side, closing in on me.
Sing me a song, the last one in my life
My time has come, life has been too short
Stay in my dream, so I can take you with me
Sing me a song, that I'll never forget.
Remember the day, the wind and the sunshine
The highway of love, running fast they say
And into the dark, at 90 miles an hour
The flash in the night, was the last thing I could see.
Sing me a song, the last one in my life
My time has come, life has been too short
Stay in my dream, so I can take you with me
Sing me a song, that I'll never forget.
Sing me a song, the last one in my life
My time has come, life has been too short
Stay in my dream, so I can take you with me
Sing me a song, that I'll never forget.
So... long, see you some other time,
So... long, see you on the other side
So... long, see you some other time,

I look into the mirror and I see my one an' only enemy
And he wont go away
And every time it hurts so bad I wish you were here
To share what we had
The truth is hard what can I say
It's getting harder every living day
Take this heart and heal it make it start make me feel it
Do it now

To many days on the road I guess I left you waiting cold

united in a scream
we’ll tell them you and me
we are the outcast
and we’re proud to be
in this lost society
we were never meant to be
we are the rebels
and here to tear it down
the teachers the can’t teach us
our parents don’t understand
that we rule our own lives
and they’ve lost command
don’t wont to grow old
our dreams won’t be sold
we’ll do it our way
no matter what they say
chorus:
we’re gonna stay together
rise up and scream forever
we’re gonna carry on
united in a scream
we’re gonna cry out loud
'cause we’re the future
don’t’ wait
live your dreams today
forget the rules
tomorrow will be too late
let’em think we’re crazy
let’em think we’re wild
they’re just programmed to be
deaf, dumb and blind
we listen to our won voice
and follow the heart
we’ll make our stand in every town
and they will never stop us
the young, the wild and free
we stand united in a scream
chorus
solo
I reach for the top, and I'm never gonna stop
I want to be somebody, don't wanna end up like you
I ain't gonna work from 9 to 5, I wanna feel that I'm
alive
I want my life to be, a great big party
You can have your boring dreams, I think I know just
what it means
To sit and watch TV, until your eyes pop out
You can pretend that you´re alive, when you struggle
and you stripe
But if somebody droped a bomb, you wouldn't notice
We can make it to the top, be winners in the end
To the end of time, we want strings to bend
And to use it, we'll never break through
We shall show the world
When I'm sittin' on the top, I'm gonna take one day off
I'm gonna sing this refrain, just to tell you once
again
That when you work from 9 to 5, you won't ever feel
alive
And it's better to fail, then never try it out
We can make it to the top, be winners in the end
To the end of time, we want strings to bend
And to use it, we'll never break through
We shall show the world
(Instruments.)
We can make it to the top, be winners in the end
To the end of time, we want strings to bend
And to use it, we'll never break through
We shall show the world
I'm out in the wilderness, just on my own
Search my mind to find out, what direction I should go
I like the emptiness, feeling that I'm alone
Free to do everything that I'm thinking of
I see the clouds, I feel the rain is falling down
It's soon getting dark, and I'm waiting for the night, to
come
I'm a loner, and I like it this way
Just me and the stars and the fire
What more do I need, I've got nothing to say
While the moon is coming higher and higher
I see the sun go up, watching all day through
Wondering, what are the other people do
Work all day, getting payed, but what do they got
Waisting time and money, are they happy or not?
Alone but I ain't lonely, as the sun is going down
It's soon getting dark, and I'm waiting for the night, to
come
I'm a loner, and I like it this way
Just me and the stars and the fire
What more do I need, I've got nothing to say
While the moon is coming higher and higher
when i first met you
you didn't even see me
you looked straight through me
as you drifted through the crowd
but i was struck by a light
i fell in love
i had get a little closer to you
i wish that you would love me too
will you say it to me
when the night is over
will you tell me that you want me to stay
why can't this moment last forever
tell me that you want me to stay
next time around
i asked you to a party
the smile on your face
made me heart beat boom boom
my hands where shakin'
you were all that I desired
i was so scared that i should say something wrong
but i had to show my love for you
will you say it to me
when the night is over
will you tell me that you want me to stay
why can't this moment last forever
she was daddy's girl
the little princess of his world
she was his pride and joy
just a decoy
she was a bit confused
wondered then if she'd been used
as a grown-up's living toy
he was so proud of this little girl
but no one ever knew
their little secret, her waking nightmare
and all he put her trough
oooh, all of her life she'll be lonely
ooooh, all of her life she'll
be running away
from the shadow of her dad
and the nightmares that's she had
will she always be a prisoner to the pain
she is no one girl
so lonely in this world
she has no joy, she's lost her pride
she walks alone
she's so confused
it's living hell knowing she's abused
no one hears the tears she cries
tell me why
oooh, all of her life she'll be lonely
ooooh, all of her life she'll
be running away
from the shadow of her dad
and the nightmares that's she had
will she always be a prisoner to the pain
he was so proud of his little girl
no one ever knew
their little secret, her waking nightmare
that no one should go through
oooh, all of her life she'll be lonely
ooooh, all of her life she'll
be running away
from the shadow of her dad
and the nightmares that's she had
will she always be a prisoner to the pain
ooooh, all of her life she's been hiding
oooooh, all of her feelings
are locked up inside
snd her nightmares'll live on through
in everything she'll do
she's a wounded angel that never
mornin' has come, midnight is gone
your pictures lit up by the rising sun
a new day is born, calmin' the storm
or another restless night
i still hear the doctors words
so clear, in the atticts of my mind
echoin' the fairs inside me
and all the tears that binds me
to our love
thru the wind and the shadows
we walked on
and we kept on belivin'
the end wouldn't come
life must go on, but i don't know how
today and tomorrow
life must go on, but i don't know how
today and tomorrow
yesterday's dreams are gone
dead an' gone,
but they won't be forgotten
my love for you will live forever
all our time together, won't fade away
thru the wind and the shadows
we walked on
and we kept on belivin'
the end wouldn't come
life must go on, but i don't know how
today and tomorrow
life must go on, but i don't know how
today and tomorrow
we're on the run
and having fun
there's something in the ear
something we wanna hear
we got a song
so sing along
get up on your feet
set your feelings free
nothing's gonna stop us till we've seen the end
we're not the kind of band who pretends
na-na...you thought you knew us by now
we're gonna show you something better
na-na...you thought you knew us by now
we're always trying something better
it's getting loud
oh what a crowd
tell us what you wanna hear
we can read you loud'n clear
are you proud
then shout it out
are you having fun tonight
we're gonna rock and roll it right
nothing's gonna stop us till we've seen the end
since the end of our glory days, i've been feeling down
and out
they just don't make 'em like they did
i've been hanging out on our street hoping there's a
chance we'd
meet as if i knew just what to say
i took it wrong right from the start lies just tore us
apart
friends will be friends forever more
you can't erase what's in your heart
friends will be friends if we really try
'cause friends are hard to find
did we do what was right back then so easy to loose a
friend
well it ain't the same anymore
i sure miss the good times we had all the memories make
me glad
wish i could do it all again
i took it wrong right from the start lies just tore us
apart
we could have stayed tight for a hundred years but we...
we had nowhere left to go
Minutes from a worm kiss,
five minutes form a moment of joy,
a second later, all turns to pain.
I refuced to beleve when i've heard,
a bird of steel has crashed to the earth
and a bowl of flames, no one was saved.
Those leftbehind a sudden cry,
the victims still live in theyre heart tonight
chering theyre greef i'm crying too
so scared thinking how i've feel if,
i was loosing you.
Five minutes away
why didnt they come
they were on theyre way
a warm kiss faded away
only fi--hi--ve minutes away
Five minutes away
why didnt they come
they were on theyre way
a warm kiss faded away
only fi--hi--ve minutes ....
So many victims so many young
in the spring of theyre life now theyre future is gone
and i wonder, will the next one be?
They say its craisy to intisapate im not mad,
its just that i hate to loose someone, to loose
someone.
I saw they cry those leftbehinds victims still live in
theyre heart tonight.
chering theyre greef im crying too
so scared thinking how i feel if,
i was loosing you
Five minutes away
why didnt they come
they were on theyre way
a warm kiss faded away
only fi--hi--ve minutes away
Five minutes away
why didnt they come
they were on theyre way
a warm kiss faded away
only fi--hi--ve minutes ....
Solo
Five minutes away
why didnt they come
they were on theyre way
a warm kiss faded away
only fi--hi--ve minutes away
Five minutes away
why didnt they come
they were on theyre way
a warm kiss faded away
only fi--hi--ve minutes ....
Five minutes away
why didnt they come
they were on theyre way
a warm kiss faded away
only fi--hi--ve minutes away
Five minutes away
why didnt they come
they were on theyre way
a warm kiss faded away
only fi--hi--ve minutes ....
Enjoy!
picture of you is all that i see, all that i got is
this pale memory
been lonely to long, keep going back im telling you
know lead me on to your
like the wind you follow the tide out of my reach, out
of my sight
back in time when we were in school you were the queen
and i was the fool
what have you done, you're gone gone gone
i loved you so don't go go go, go away from me
if i knew that love turned to hate i wouldn't be blind
i'd still have my faith
see you're face in neon lights as i walk through the
shadows of the night
what have you done, you're gone gone gone
i loved you so don't go go go, go away from me, yeah
i see you're picture everywhere i turn, i get that
feeling everytime i see your face
i'm about to lay my hand down honey cause i miss you so
i hear your voice and i can sense your here, i close my
eyes and i see you right there
to young to go, to young to know, ooh
now what have you done, you're gone gone gone
i loved you so don't go go go, go away from me
what have you done, you're gone gone gone
i loved you so don't go go go, go away from me
like the wind you follow the tide, you out of my reach,
what will it take to be friends forever
oh, how i want it i wonder do you
in all these hard times
the good times got lost
it can be as it was
when we were true lovers
when there was trust
chorus:
can you forgive me for what i have done
can you love me or will you be gone
cause i need you to be by my side
so i won't lie no more
when will we learn not to hurt one another
don't want to lose you i want you to stay
when we grow older i know that we'll see
we were meant to be
as we were when we were true lovers
and there still was trust
chorus
let's not waste time fighting going nowhere fast
so let's stand strong together
put this heartache in the past
can you forgive me for what i have done
can you love me or will you be gone
now i need you to be by my side
Yesterday, you and me and the other people had a party
But who could know it was the last time
We got drunk and sang together
Chasing girls you should've lived forever
You didn't even get home
Chorus:
Bye Bye Johnny bye bye
It's not your fault that you died
But i can't help it
I got to ask a reason why you
Good o'l Johnny did die no one knows
So many of your friends cry
Theres no meaning why you should say bye bye
Now today when you are gone
I'm still drunk but i can't find a reason
Why you have to leave so soon
Guess thats how it had to be
Raise in heaven living free
Can't you come back to us please
Chorus
You were stabbed
in the back
in a downtown backstreet alley
You played for passion lived your life
Now you're hiding in the fearvay
Chorus
(Danger Danger Silent Stranger)
Tell a story...Sunday morning wet outside, begin this
down out on moonlight drive
A man stumbles into a woman on this cloudy day, they're
eyes met once and then they walk away
Later that evening, she still has him in her head, wonder
if I'll ever see him again
He sits in silence, I know I've seen her face before but
where or when, now I'll never know
Headlights all around, face down on the ground...
Continue the story...rain begins to fall tonight, he
decides to take a walk outside
She is driving down the place past moonlight drive, she
still has him in her eyes
He moves slowly, across the street out in this rain, he
still tries to guess her name
Intersection, he can't see the light turns red, she hits
her brakes but hits her man instead
he walks around the apartment, cannot seem to find out
where she is
she knows he's waiting, wouldn't he like to know just
where she's been
last night was a long night, but for her they keep on
coming back again
she knows he's waiting, cannot seem to find out where she
only to feel like bricks down on my head again
and feels like everything I've ever wanted from you
he walks around the apartment, somebody downstairs must
have let him in
he knows she's waiting, now she knows just what its like
for him
only to feel like bricks down on my head again
and feels like everything I've ever wanted from you...its
all I'll ever ask
this is true but the world it spins too fast
wake me up and I'll rise as a knew man
anything you want because although it kills me, I still
need you now
only to feel like bricks down on my head again
Begin to take my life, whatever's left of it My time is
not worth anything, no it's not worth I want you with
your hands around my neck, I want you... Try to see
through all these many covered walls Without an inch to
live, I can't see at all Begin to take my life,
whatever's left of it My time is not worth anything, no
it's not worth... I want you with your hands around my
Please don't believe anything she says about me I know
she'll say anything to get her way I'd curse your name
but it won't accomplish anything I know she'll say
anything to get her way A room full of plastic smiles and
an empty glass I cannot get you out of my head when
you're knocking at my door again And very hairy
situations (leave me) keeping an eye out for you Please
don't you see, she's turning everyone against me I would
It makes me sick, the way you taste, the way you always
get inside my head
Your all around, your in my blood and now the black
replaces red instead
I want to know, is it true, the way you pierce into my
bones, into my skin, oh, through and through
I scream out loud, I want to know how you push yourself
with such control.
And oh oo...
It makes me laugh, the way you break, the way you always
get inside my head
Your all around, your in my blood and now the black
replaces red instead
I want to know, is it true, the way you pierce into my
bones, into my skin, oh, through and through
I scream out loud, I want to know how you push yourself
with such control.
You say your lost in a maze of endless days and you
can't find any place to retire
So you pick up your feet and a message of meat, see how
the blood runs, do do do do do do
Like a fish in a bowl you've been given a choice, do I
swim or slowly float to the top?
And if I ever get home, I'll have to dig through your
bones, so pretty, do do do do do do
You've grown up like me, on the edge of an ocean
When you learned to speak, your first words were, they
were do do do do do do do
You've grown up like me, between the desert and the sea
When you learned to speak, your first words were, they
were do do do do do do do
Sleep, a breaks all you need, open your eyes, surprise,
you have been living a dream
All the purples and blues, when you start to bruise,
see how the doves cry do do do do do do
So you put on some clothes and as everyone knows you
like to take up a minute or two
With the world at your feet and a message of meat, see
how the blood runs, do do do do do do
You've grown up like me, on the edge of an ocean
When you learned to speak, your first words were, they
were do do do do do do
You've grown up like me, between the desert and the sea
When you learned to speak, your first words were, they
were do do do do do do do
You showed me your blue and all the sadness inside you
And now when you speak, you sing to me, you say do do
do do do do
Beverly, Beverly you taught me jealousy, the touch of
your hand was always so cold
Don't believe anything was always the song you sing,
always on top, you never do what your told
Beverly, Beverly tell me what's wrong with me, always
around now waiting for you
You were too late to see, you made up some story, always
around now with nothing to do
Up and down my spine, you know it happens all the time
Up and down my spine, the word goes 'round and the love
falls out
Beverly, Beverly you taught me jealousy, walking around
with that look in your eye
Don't believe anything because they'll tell you anything,
dangerous creatures, I won't tell you no lie
Up and down my spine, you know it happens all the time
Up and down my spine, the word goes 'round and the love
You said I will find that place you hide, but it's too
dark
And sure it comes off shy but i'm just scared, too scared
to speak
And Building fires can start themselves sometimes
I cannot help but wonder
Sometimes water tastes like lemonade, it's all the same
Think i've took too much i'm falling down, mentally
And stars will fall but cannot change their names it's
all the same
And Building fires can start themselves sometimes
I cannot help but wonder
Sometimes water tastes like lemonade, it's all the same
And Building fires can start themselves sometimes
I cannot help but wonder
Sometimes water tastes like lemonade, it's all the same
Its too late to sleep, my mind is off and I'm far from
dreaming
But dreams still come to me, shows me something I'm not
quite seeing
Looking through the glass, a sign that I am far from
waking
I'll wait for it to pass, but the world is young and
keeps on shaking
We make the earth tremble
I'm still half asleep, I can breath and my hearts still
beating
head down to my feet, waiting for that fateful meeting
when it comes around, I start to get that sleepy feeling
stars start falling down, you and I we both have demons
Waking up from a coma
Open your eyes to this world
If nothing here seems familiar
Then the weight of this wave has yet to uncurl
Living in (oh) such indifference
There were some things that we lost
Thinking of us more than human
And something more like gods
And oh the sound of real life
It cuts like skin upon this knife
The dying world still screams in need of peace
...we should've been changing
Where will we go with this power?
We're taking it all to our graves
Living life either upside-down or (in) misery
You ruffled the wrong feathers
And oh the words they will remain
The epitaph upon our graves
It's the love that we still have to give
They refuse
...we should've been changing
Lay down and cry no
Lay down and cry no
looking out your window
it is a winter night
your heart is cold like the snow
from the final fight
no way of knowing where
you will go
no way of knowing will you
ever know
turn around and you wonder
will there be another day
when the hurting is gone
you swear you re never gone
love again
you swear you won t be
coming back again
chorus:
save the heart
cause in time you might need it again
let it go free
cause you know it s your only friend
only your soul
will be true to you right to the end
got to let go-you got to know
there s so much more than meets the eye
leave your front door open
and turn on the lights
maybe someone will come and
melt down the ice for you
too many lonely souls
are drowning in the river
release your heart now
and fly on through
chorus
middle eight:
twist and turn till you burn
screw the rules cause you ll never learn
keep the dream and make it come alive
open up and you will see
I think its time to get over this and all the years you
think you have missed. I know I've never been down that
road, scarred by stories that I've been told. But yes I
think it's unusual that they would send you now halfway
'round this world into a place that you've never been,
into a fight we would never win. My mistake, won't you
pardon me, believe in me and know... There was something
out on the road. A secret that we have yet been told. A
secret silent within the sound, the sound of everything
falling down. But yes I think it's unusual that they
would use this excuse, this dirty bird to line our
pockets with paper green. To further ourselves within the
scene My mistake, so won't you pardon me, believe in me
(danger, danger, silent, stranger)
I heard the interference coming through the radio,
so I took another look and turned the lights down low.
Sure. You think you want it but its not always
picture perfect, how you see it everyday.
Shot down again...
I saw the information on the television screen.
I read every letter but I still can't tell you what it
means.
Sure you think you need it but it's not always
a shot upon the heart like any other day.
Shot down again...
Decisions always separate my heart.
In a darkened room I fall apart.
Only to end up right at the start.
Oh, anxiety
Shot down again
The pressure's building,
Will this ever end here?
The blood is spilt and there's no sign of cease,
So you'll fire in our hearts
And put fear in our mind here,
Time to look back, we take now,
Slow down, and breathe,
Open, to me,
Slow down, you see,
Open, to me,
I will return!
I will return!
Be afraid to hear the chord,
Live life forevermore,
I will return!
The nations armies are going to war here,
The guns are loaded, the triggers are set,
And the fire in our eyes and the lessons in our head,
Are leading us down the road here,
Slow down, and breathe,
Open, open, open up to me,
Slow down, you see,
Open, open, open up to me!
I will return!
I will return!
Be afraid to hear the chord,
Live life forevermore,
I will return!
There is a light, way down inside,
There is a light, way down inside,
Won't you breathe? Won't you breathe?
Ooooh, ooooh, ooooh, ooooh, ooooh, ooooh!
I will return!
I will return!
Be afraid to hear the chord,
Live life forevermore,
I will return!
To San Francisco from Mauritania
To Hong Kong city a long long trip
From north to south I'm waiting for you return
To the high mountains and searching all the seas
In the deep jungle beyond the trees
From east to west I screm to you
Return, return
Baby I need you with all my heart
Baby I want you just hold me tight
Baby I love you with all my soul
Baby I need you with all my heart
Cause your the only reason that I need to live
To the Scottish land from Camberra town
From the hot Morocco 'till New Delhi
From north to south I'm waiting for you return
To the wildest neighborhood crossing quiet fields
When I sing the roots I think of you
Winter days and summer nights
I scream to you return, return
Baby I need you with all my heart
Baby I want you just hold me tight
Baby I love you with all my soul
Baby I need you with all my heart
Sliding doorways divide
and all the winding corridors fall away behind
Rays of light serenade my eyes
and wide white clouds parade the skies
After days and nights of grey
it's quite breathtaking in such amazing sights
I've paid the price, stayed inside
and it's been great but I need to say goodbye
The grape is ripe so maybe I should build the bottle
to fill the bottle, taste the wine
Now I've found how to savour life
all thoughts of pain inside fade and die
I take the fight to paper, hibernate and write in waiting
'til it's time to face my fright and take the mic
I've made the right choice in raising my voice
and reclaiming life's joys
Sliding doors divide and all
The nightmarish corridors
Will all fall
Behind you
Sliding doors divide and all
The nightmarish corridors
Will all fall
Behind you
If you've ever had a dream then chase it
cos it's dreams that make us more than meat for grave diggers
Do you really want to remain faceless
cos you dated aspirations but became faithless?
Be safe, stay put, each day's painless
or regain faith, though we face dangers
Be brave, courageous, behave audaciously
My teenage daydreams made me famous
But being flavour of the week
leaves a taint on the tastebuds, so I need to shape up
I tighten the laces in each of my trainers
then retrace my steps to when I believed I could get
to each place I set my aim on
not accepted fate, and reshaped my destination
I've not reached places yet that truly take my breath away
I'll never til the day of my death
Sliding doors divide
and all the nightmarish corridors
will all fall behind you
Sliding doors divide and all
The nightmarish corridors
Will all fall
Behind you
[Monologue by Khaya Dlanga]
We've had a really lovely time
but I ought to make a move
I've things to do
This is return of the Queen
Dambi & Bravesound
It’s been a long time
I know what you want
I know that you want me
Just watch me shine
Yeah uh
Yeah uh
A pleasant warm dusk,
when I returned from a time of fulfillment,
not like the others, just empty, like awoken from a dream.
Ripped away in agony, from a place far away.
'Lone again I am,
doomed in the lands of grief,
retreating into all the memories
gained on the journey to my destination
which I surely can't attain.
Hide the pain!
suffocate it with your emptiness.
Destroy my life
make me go somewhere else!
This is just the wrong way!
Exhausted still and tired,
fitting into my unwanted space.
Can my path end here?
The forest of the morning parts before my eyes,
offering view to the fields in the dew,
fog still floating through the valleys.
Never will be able to walk the fields again,
mindless...
Choice was made long time ago, maybe never existed.
Return to the deeper wood accepting the death,
after life in darkness
protected beneath the trees.
No one else than the spirit with me,
no one to recover, no one to hurt
Faith falls with its sons
Believers:
Beware of an new probation
The same source sets free the ones
who find bliss in their malevolent determination
Terror to achieve control
What a sinful proof for an ill natured soul
A culture has been forced to stagnate
Empty hope has spread the seeds of hate
Is this the return?
Stay, stay away from me
Stay away
I can't take this one more day
I don't want to give this one more try
A holy war needs a faithless lie
A return of an old damnation
tries to rearrange the coming of time
Close to a situation
known to the world as the mediaeval crime
This is a modern crusade
caused by the decadence of a nation
A conflict with a need to degrade
the greatness of our fragile civilisation
This is the Return
This threat is deeper
Father, Father, Father, Father!
Nothing, only empty silence...
Noisy always have been here,
Palace full of Wizards and Mentors,
Father's voice resounds around,
But now sad silence I hear.
Father, Father, Father, Father!
Nothing, only empty silence...
Where is Raon? Where is Lykorian?
I'm confused, woeful, tired.
And someone's voice speaks to me,
Dire words, full of despair.
Father, Father, Father, Father!
Nothing, only empty silence...
Where from these words come?
And what does this all mean?
Why everybody disappeared?
Am I forever alone?
Father, Father, Father, Father!
