Life is never easy, but for Jack it's about to get a whole lot harder
In the end, we all worship something.
There's gotta be a punch line to this sick joke...
Plot
Armando Depuente is very talented Judo player with flair of living life on the edge. Although Judo is a martial art with a lot of traditional values, he is mostly in it for the glory of the sport. As he advances during the Olympic Trials Tournament, he gets an injury that goes on to cost him the final match for his division. The injury goes from bad to worse during the match and he is forced into surgery and to an early retirement. For the next few years he hits the bottle hard and is eventually arrested for drinking and driving resulting in him hitting a young girl. Armando is sentenced to serve time and community service. After prison he volunteers for a youth center in a barrio area where the community lives out harsh times. While service under janitorial duties, he helps a young man out when the kid is bullied in a fight against a much bigger guy. The boy asks Armando to train him to fight after the ordeal. Armando is reluctant but after the boy, whose name is Phoenix, becomes persistent and tormenting, Armando agrees to. Although Phoenix starts off as Armando's only student in the youth center, others join, including the original bullies who were picking on Phoenix, and eventually Armando has his own "dojo" within the center. Armando goes on to make a comeback with the help and influence of "his kids".

Goes to fast (? )
Too good to be good too good to lie
Gonna go away
Keep the world at bay...
The need to destroy
Oh, woe is me (? )
It's started again
again
Gonna go away
Keep the world at bay...
Gonna go away
I never thought it would be easy,
But I..m not afraid to walk this way alone,
I want to feel you completely,
Immerse into your soul,
So many steps i had to take,
Leading me there,
So many things i had to shake,
Blurring like smoke rings in the air,
Fading like smoke rings in the air,
Your fire is burning me,
Your fire sets me free,
I will fall to ashes,
And be born again,
This fire is burning me,
The only way to see,
What lies beneath your sky,
I..m ready to rise again,
Your fire is burning me,
Everything is turning free,
I will fall to ashes,
And be born again,
I..m ready to rise again,
Our fate makes decisions,
She says: Believe it, or turn away,
Isolation and obsession,
A circle you cannot break,
Love and death are everywhere,
The cycle starts again,
Once you..ve got chosen,
Catch the fire within,
This fire keeps burning,
It..s burning me, this fire sets me free,
I will fall to ashes, and be born again,
This fire is burning, this fire sets me free,
I will fall to ashes and be born again,
Your fire is burning me,
Your fire sets me free,
I will fall to ashes,
And be born again,
This fire is burning me,
The only way to see,
What lies beneath your sky,
I..m ready to rise again,
Your fire is burning me,
Everything is turning free,
I will fall to ashes,
And be born again,
I..m ready to rise again,
I..m ready to rise again,
Hit "rewind". You sit surrounded by a frame, your laugh infectious.
Hair in flames, your star was lonely but it lives.
And we don't have the time for tears. A step beyond.
Deep in the corner of my eye I swear I saw a curtain rise.
I can't be certain it could be that I'm just seeing what I want to see.
But just who guides these hands when they're shaking with frustration?
When scraping in the sand, who provides the inspiration?
And who whispers from outside when all seems desperation, "Seize the future..."
i'll rise above the clouds
your voice kept me alive
i'll spread my wings and fly
i've returned for you again my love
i've kept all that i've gained
your smile and how your eyes shine
am i strong enough to be with you again?
if im not, i'll stretch my arms to hold you. ..
im ready
hold me tight once more
and slowly
we'll pick up the pieces we lost
the battles i fought
unruly but won gloriously
im your lord knight, i've gained so much
Second to none, I wouldn't seriously get involved in a
thing
Bored of all the talking, you know it didn't change
much
I doubt your intentions are to make me feel any better
today
I even doubt tomorrow will be as easy as it was
I've changed
you've changed
it's not the same
Tell me what 's the difference if I go back to normal
again?
Right away
I should have known I'd look at you
with opened eyes the morning after
Did you cut your hair? Did you change anything these
days?
I heard a "liar" then I heard a laughter 20 calls a day
it makes no difference at all
Last year
Last call
You lost your ways
Tell me what's the difference if I go back to normal
again?
Right away
I thought I heard a lie
I thought I heard a "liar"
I doubt your intentions are to make me feel any better
today
I even doubt tomorrow will be as easy as it was I've
changed
You've changed
It's not the same
Tell me what's the difference if I go back to normal
again?
Right away
I thought I heard a lie
I thought I heard a "liar"
These days are gone
Loud enough to hold on
I think about the time we wasted
I think about the years to come
It's getting late and I can't call
It's getting late to face it all
I think about the time we wasted
My loneliness has slowly grown
I told you not to cross the line
& leave me with your love for granted
The letters from your broken heart
I think I might have lost them somewhere
Don't tell me 'bout your lies
Don't tell me 'bout your secrets
My love is easy
You are everything I need
Now your love is gone
I want it safe & guaranteed
Life is such a fine line
Looking at the bright line
I think about the time we wasted
For someday I'll be coming too
Tonight is dying on its own
& now I got your love for granted
It doesn't matter right or wrong
As long as you are hiding somewhere
Don't tell me 'bout your lies
Don't tell me 'bout your secrets
Even though we've said it all
I would never let us fall with you
Hang on to a little chance, you bet I'm in
If it is for better
I would never miss the call, it's true
Countdown unless you're juvenile let's go
God bless your miss somewhere
We're sick for the big sun
It doesn't matter what you did
And if you did it like you been told
True and everlasting that's what you want
True and everlasting that's what you want
Don't say no your breakfast tears are gone
Resist or let go, you're borderline withdrawn
Down, unlit from the bottom there is a misfit
Better than it looks, better than it looks
Better than it looks, better than it looks
We're sick, sick, sick, sick, sick,
sick, sick, sick, sick, sick, sick
We're sick for the big sun
We rumble and trip, trip, trip, trip, trip, trip, trip
I realize that too
Hear the lonesome bell, is this knowledge?
Ask forgiveness you know somewhere
You're fixed to an atom
It doesn't matter what you did
And if you did it right let's go
Cruel and everlasting that's what you want
Cruel and everlasting that's what you want
Don't say no your breakfast tears are gone
Do you remember when 21 years was old?
Down unlit does it matters that you care the less?
Better than it looks, better than it looks
Better than it looks, better than it looks
We're sick, sick, sick, sick, sick,
sick, sick, sick, sick, sick, sick
We're sick for the big sun
We rumble and trip, trip, trip, trip, trip, trip, trip
I realize that too
True and everlasting, it didn't last that long...
We're the lonesome, we're the lonesome yell
True and everlasting, it didn't last that long
True and everlasting, it didn't last that long...
We're the lonesome, we're the lonesome yell
True and everlasting, it didn't last that long
Fences in a row, fences in a row
Why are they protecting in Rome?
If only the necessary silhouette
Unknown join a dis, dis, dissident
Carried away, hide them from the lies and discords
What's remembered not forgotten
Come roll the dice for me
Roll the dice for me
Hold on better, I'm not
Really on your own thinking this is fun
Feathers falling from gray
Fold them into pieces tied openly
Fences in a row, fences in a row
Why are they protecting in Rome?
You carried away
Thought I would have let you know
Oh no, did you miss, miss, miss it?
Familiar stare, would rather mess with me than get going?
She's been building up a castle
And I roll the dice for me
Hold on better, I'm not
Really on your own thinking this is fun
Feathers falling from gray
Fold them into pieces tied openly
Fences in a row, fences in a row
Why are they protecting in Rome?
Fences in a row, fences in a row
Tired out, not a miracle in days
Deciders for the lonely whispering tears
You try out for nothing then you drop dead, not a miracle in years
Leisure for the lonely whispering unnecessary unless you're in
Die and succeed
I say it out loud but you just don't care
Farewell, well, well, well, well, well, well 'til you know me well
Farewell, well, well, well, well, well, well 'til you know me well
Girlfriend
We are far from home, I am with you now
I'm am longing you, I am longing us two
Who bought a miracle sells these fortune tears
December's death or glory how you want it?
No, not a miracle in years
Deciders for the lonely wishing death wishes death unless
Die and succeed
I say it out loud but you just don't care
Farewell, well, well, well, well, well, well 'til you know me well
Farewell, well, well, well, well, well, well 'til you know me well
Girlfriend
Die and succeed
I say it out loud but you just don't care
Farewell, well, well, well, well, well, well
Where would you go? Not long ago
I've been thinking out loud why so suddenly?
Don't you know? Don't do it
What you do, oh what you do to me
Forever is a long, long time when you've lost your way
Trying to follow your ideal
Oh sorry but your so called life it is such a waste
Wear your real eyes
No, you don't realize
What you say yes to
But you say yes to
Where would you go
Where would you go with a lasso?
Could you run into, could you run into
Could you go and run into me?
Where would you go
Where would you go tied up to a lasso?
Could you run into, could you run into
Could you go and run into me?
So lonely, so pretty such a lack of diplomacy
You can't get out
Don't you know, don't do it
What you do, well you should do to me
Far out, so far out, such a fallout
Not only that you're lonely
Don't matter if you're not so well
No, you're not so well
Where would you go
Where would you go with a lasso?
Could you run into, could you run into
Could you go and run into me?
Where would you go
Where would you go tied up to a lasso?
Could you run into, could you run into
Could you go and run into me?
Wear your real eyes
No, you don't realize
What you say yes to
But you say yes to
Forever is a long, long time when you've lost your way
Got out of Phoenix, just in time
a box of kleenex, for the ride
the tumbleweeds said, their goodbyes
to javelinas and DUIs
I don't want to abandon you but baby I've had my fill
you love me like a dollar bill
you roll me up and trade me in
and if you had the chance you will
and if you get the chance again
it's hard to know when to cut and run
you balance heartache with your fun
and when the scales tip, you know you're done
I don't want to abandon you but baby I've had my fill
you love me like a dollar bill
you roll me up and trade me in
and if you had the chance you will
and if you get the chance again
cos I know love doesn't change anything at all
I know love doesn't change a thing
I wanted to believe in you and baby I believe it still
baby I've just had my fill
you love me like a dollar bill
you roll me up and trade me in
and if you have the chance you will
and if you get the chance again
I know you'll do the best you can
but baby love doesn't chage anything at all
Dahlias, they come from me
A promise to get well
That ain't working, thinking that you're no good
Don't worry 'cause I'm not the kind to kiss and tell
Dahlias and cherry trees, I don't recall them anyway
Some lovers know it ain't gonna wear out
To each his own the same
Look what you wasted
When the lights are cutting out
And I come down in your room
Our daily compromise
It is written in your signed armistice
And when the lights are cutting out
And I come down in your room
Well, we'll decide as always
Here is your signed armistice
It's time to follow and not to heat it up
Requesting this plane is a propeller
In the middle of the course when ambitions are low
Head on close, hang on before you lose control
The octagon logo had to rip it up
The semaphore message on your lips
Some lovers know it ain't gonna wear out
To each his own the same, what else is wasted?
When the lights are cutting out
And I come down in your room
Our daily compromise
It is written in your signed armistice
And when the lights are cutting out
And I come down in your room
Well, we'll decide as always
Here is your signed armistice
For lovers in a rush, for lovers always
For lovers in a rush, keeping promises
For lovers in a rush, for lovers always
For lovers in a rush, for lovers always
For lovers in a rush, keeping promises
In a land of broken dreams
Under the darkest sky
I will burn in the name of love.
To die and to survive.
Tears from heaven like a rain
Will wash away my sin and pain,
Fire, driving me insane.
Like a phoenix I'll arise
From ashes of this world,
Spread my wings and I will fly
Over ruin of the old.
I'm looking my the past like blaze,
But I'm flying high.
I leave the bad in haze,
Sorrow, walls of lie.
Tears from heaven like a rain
Washed away my sin and pain,
Fire, driving me insane.
Like a phoenix I'll arise
From ashes of this world,
Into sunrise I will fly
Over ruin of the old.
(Powell, Turner, Upton, Turner)
Screen Gems Publishing
Bird, rise high from the cinders, leave it all behind,
All the ruins and the fire.
Bird, raise your head from the ashes - many men lay dead.
You can see them like I.
You've been driven into hell
By necessity
What choice was there indeed
But consort with demons
There is a soulless man at your side
Who deals in blood and carnage
He looks you over with delight
Like a hunter at his catch
He stares at you with darkened eyes
Like polished onyx
What you offered was your soul
And now you have to pay
Now you have to remind yourself
That the world you've known is still out there
But there was no better offer
You had to leave it all behind
There is still so much to learn
About human cruelty
Never thought how far it goes
Until it hits you
I'm walking through the flames
The fire purifies my soul
From the dust I came
From the dust I came
Break it, I'm walking through the flames
Isolated, today is the day to be brave
You can break it, the inner circle of this pain
Can you feel it?
I'm not afraid
From the ashes of my strife
I will rise up to eternal life
Like a phoenix I will rise
To my eternal life
To my eternal life
Break it, set me free from my distress
Isolated, today is the day to be saved
You can break it, break the cyde, break the chain
Can you feel it?
It's your immortal day
From the ashes of my strife
I will rise up to eternal life
Like a phoenix I will rise
To my eternal life
To my eternal life
Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
Hey, Hey, Hey!
We're walking through the flames
We are rising from the flames
From the ashes of my strife
I will rise up to eternal life
Like a phoenix i will rise
To my eternal life
Diet of the heart
Help him fade away
It's written in the kite
I want to get through the hope mans land to town
It's been a long long long long ...
To talk talk talk talk talk talking to you
I'm down on my knees
reminding you please
It was a lie, nothing was real
Just a disguise you?re using, you?re using still
When you meet the preacher man remind him of your fear
Over which you operate, operate control
When the truth is recalled, the evidence resound
It?s the price you?ll pay on the rebound
Wish I'd known all along
What you?re running from
Wish I?d known all along
You can?t choose between weak, weak or strong
But you?re not there to turn the key
On your own two feet, two feet on the ground
Get a grip right on to the situation
Try to choose what you choose to ignore
Wish I'd known all along
What you?re running from
Wish I?d known all along
You can?t choose between weak, weak or strong
Your time has come, it?s not too late
Don?t hesitate, hesitate
Wish I'd known all along
What you?re running from
Wish I?d known all along
What you?re running from
When the present destroys the past
Wish I'd known all along
What you?re running from
Wish I?d known all along
You can?t choose between weak, weak or strong
When the present destroys the past
When the present destroys the past
Like the heat from a thousand suns that burns on
Rising ever higher
A Phoenix from a pyre
My eternal desire
I'm on fire
Like a Kiss from the lips of Ra
That burns on
Pleasures getting wilder
Circling ever higher
Servant of desire
I'm on fire
Things are gonna change
and not for better
don't know what it means to me
but it's hopeless, hopeless...
Got to get you home
could be with anyone
think of what i've done, uh
you know it all
Everything is everything
everything is everything
the more i talk about it
the less i do control
everything means everything
can't understand a word
half of the stuff i'm sayin'
The things i do possess
sometimes they own me too
what they gonna do to me?
it's hopeless, hopeless...
What i can't explain
i'm sure you'll get it well
since i always wanted
i always wanted you
Everything is everything
the more i talk about it
the less i do control
everything means everything
can't understand a word
half of the stuff i'm sayin'
Riding low, riding low, riding faster
if this is what i want
look at what it did to me
riding low, riding low, riding faster
if this is what you want
this is what you get instead
Everything is everything
the more i talk about it
the less i do control
everything means everything
can't understand a word
half of the stuff i'm sayin'
Riding low, riding low, riding faster
the more i talk about it
the less i do control
riding low, riding low, riding faster
can't understand a word
Business calls me
Trouble down the waterfront
You know, I tried to
But now i'm running outta lies
It's a clear view
When all you are is gettin' paid
No more favors
I know what we can do about it
I think I'd better run, run, run, run
I think I'd better run, run, run, run
You didn't catch me fallin'
Fallin' fallin' fallin' fallin'
Fallin' fallin' fallin'
Contradictions
Get me everything i want
I'll let you know
But i think it's gonna take a while
It's a clear view
No one's waiting at the door
A million letters
They couldn't make me change my mind
I think I'd better run, run, run, run
I think I'd better run, run, run, run
You didn't catch me fallin'
Fallin' fallin' fallin' fallin'
Fallin' fallin' fallin'
How you want it to be
Sittin' by the waterfront
I should be drifting
Far enough to reach the shore
It's a clear view
Don't you underestimate me
No more flavors
I know I can live without it
I think I'd better run, run, run, run
I think I'd better run, run, run, run
You didn't catch me fallin'
Fallin' fallin' fallin' fallin'
Fallin' fallin' fallin'
(If you got to play the game
you got got to do it well)
I think i'd better run, run, run, run
And leave those things for someone else
But i like it
I don't even care
If you got to play the game
Can you feel my love buzz?
Would you believe me when I tell you
Phoenix (repeated several times throughout the song)
Early Morning Waking up my blinds are shut
The light is shining through
Fills up my room
Living on the Radio,
Making mixtapes in the backyard by the pool
Thought we were so cool
Now I'm getting older still my memory holds on to you
Oh, let the light shine down on Phoenix when it Rains,
Cause I can't leave here knowing all of my favorite things have changed
Oh, let the light shine down on Phoenix when it rains
Cause when teh sun is shining you know it feels like home
Driving through the Superstition mountains
Listening to our favorite tunes
On Sunday afternoon
Mom yells out in the street it's time to eat,
It's time to come on home,
The sun is sinkin' low,
Now I'm getting older still my memory holds on to you
Oh, let the light shine down on Phoenix when it Rains,
Cause I can't leave here knowing all of my favorite things have changed
Oh, let the light shine down on Phoenix when it rains
Cause when the sun is shining you know it feels like home
I've been living far away and I've come home on a Rainy day
No it's not the same but I'll take it anyway!
Oh, let the light shine down on Phoenix when it Rains,
Cause I can't leave here knowing all of my favorite things have changed
Oh, let the light shine down on Phoenix when it rains
It was gone in a moment
It went in a blaze
I felt so helpless, being so far away
The skeleton frame, how it's holding my memories
Cause god only knows now, just what's ahead of me
Cause everything's been taken from me now, I don't believe it
When everything that you had just sweeps aside
You rise like the Phoenix to fly
No words can describe it
There was nothing to save
The ashes have dried now
They have all been blown away
I close my eyes, and try to remember when
'Cause pictures in my head, they're all I have of them
Don't take me now
I don't want to leave this place
Loss of your heart
You fall into danger
A hawksept boy
Two moons around him
I watch him break the dawn this morning
He's all I needed
He's all I've wanted
For a new day will rise
We meet the dawn with sleepless eyes
Don't we love
I trace the lines around your eyes
Try to recognize the signs
North wind is cold today
Ain't it love
This place I waited all day for you
Rainjacket pulled over your head
Your face is all agrain (?)
My lovers like the sun
He's come to warm me
Thaw this ice
It goes right through
To the core in me
For a new day will rise
We meet the dawn with sleepless eyes
Don't we love
I trace the places you have been in me
Come my love only you can
Thaw this ice to me now
And a new day has come
??? and forget about danger
In the darkness, lies so deep a spark of burning crimson fire
And flame which now do sweep upon the feathers of the bird
We all do long to keep, to hear it's wondrous cry
So sweet and pure we weep, we watch it burn away
Born of fire, born of pain
See the birth of the phoenix aflame
Born of fire, and of flame
Spread her wings she's a phoenix again
(Repeat)
She is come from the ashes
Conflagration rise
To burn up the sky
Flying oh so high
Calling out in true passion
Molten beauty streams
Made from stuff of dreams
Born of fire, born of pain
See the birth of the phoenix aflame
Born of fire, and of flame
Spread her wings she's a phoenix again
(Repeat)
A red gleam in the darkness
Crimson feathers fall
Hearing the call
We listen one and all
You will journey through madness
Searching through the lies
With your burning eyes
Scorching fire! Flames that burn the shell of falsehood Reveal beauty, hidden in the depths of all our souls
Born of fire, born of pain
See the birth of the phoenix aflame
Born of fire, and of flame
Spread her wings she's a phoenix again
(Repeat)
She is come from the ashes
Conflagration rise
To burn up the sky
Flying oh so high
Calling out in true passion
Molten beauty streams
Made from stuff of dreams
Hook up with me, meet at the rally
Follow the shouting, I am longing for you
Hook up with me, meet at the rally
I waited so long, I couldn't find a cause
Tired or wasted, I think you're decent
I waited so long, there'll be no decency, no
(don't you give me those)
Shifty eyes pay attention
Dirty talk talk talk quiet
Just as long as you're gone
It won't happen at all
Remember the time we talked about everlastings?
Don't you know we'll both fall to pieces too?
April 22nd at the Avalon, you teased me
Hook up with me, meet at the rally
Shifty eyes pay attention
Dirty talk talk talk quiet
Just as long as you're gone
It won't happen at all
Don't go away we're so near
Look around, you see
There is nothing to say but the things I know
I got nothing to say but the things I know
Standing in line, I think you're pretty
Lying on your bed, I think you're pretty too
Young girl, girl, you're everything
Hook up with me, meet at the rally
(don't you give me those)
Shifty eyes pay attention
Dirty talk talk talk quiet
Just as long as you're gone
It won't happen at all
Shifty eyes pay attention
Dirty talk talk talk louder
Just as long as you're gone
Baby, our city's on fire
Don't you know it's going to be alright
Alright, alright, alright
Lately, running through the bombs
Don't you know it's going to last all night
Alright, alright, alright
Alright, alright.
Baby, revolution is over
You and me it's going to be alright
Alright, alright, alright
Hard times won't last forever
Don't you know we've got some real good time
Alright, alright, alright
There was a time
She called me sweet, my hero, my cute thing
I gave her all the love I got
Baby, for you I'm a man
This is how I got to prove my love (I love that)
Baby, left me for another
Don't you know it's going to be alright
Alright, alright, alright
Alright, alright
There was a time
She called me sweet, my hero, my cute thing
I gave her all the love I got
Baby, our city's on fire
Don't you know it's going to be alright
Alright, alright, alright
Hard times won't last forever
Don't you know we've got some real good time
I have cried too
I have cried too long
I have cried too
I have cried too long
No more sorrow
Got to carry on.
Found deep water
Before I'd even learned to swim
Found deep water
Before I'd even learned to swim
Never thought I'd
See the sun again.
Once I was a
Once I was a man alone
Once I was a
Once I was a man alone
Now I've found a
Heart to call my home.
Like a Phoenix
I have risen from the flames
Like a Phoenix
I have risen from the flames
No more living
Someone else's dreams.
I have cried too
I have cried too long
I have cried too
I have cried too long
No more sorrow
Got to carry on.
You almost had me, old lady
You almost tied me down good
You played the lady in waiting
And I waited as long as I could.
Too long the songs have been silent
Too long the strings have been still
I never knew what you wanted
And I guess that I never will.
Like a Phoenix
I have risen from the flames
Like a Phoenix
I have risen from the flames
No more living
Someone else's dreams.
I have cried too
I have cried too long
I have cried too
I have cried too long
No more sorrow
Go out and tell the society
The talk of the town is on its way
This is not bad only serious
Do understand, don't turn your back on me
Doesn't matter heads or tails
People know my sins, I'm overwhelmed
It's the darkest night in a long long time
I¹ve been up all night
And walked up and down the stairs
No complaints no echoes
I'm trying to be good,
Ain't trying to behave well
Sometimes in the fall, fall, fall, fall
There'll be nothing to keep you far from me
Before I am long long long gone
There'll be nothing to keep me away
Every night at seven o'clock
Every day at six in the morning too
People calling me up here
Didn't even take some time to look at them
I'm long gone
If you're walking around then I'll go out too
You¹ve been awake all night
I¹ve been lying on you thinking the same
Lonely and forsaken
Would you mind just to try a little less?
Sometimes in the fall, fall, fall, fall
There'll be nothing to keep you far from me
Before I am long long long gone
There'll be nothing to keep me away
And it goes on and on and on, it's everlasting
It's always the same when you're next to me
Sometimes in the fall, fall, fall, fall
There'll be nothing to keep me away
Long gone
Many eyes to see for me
Only yours to cry on my ashes
Long gone
It's the darkest night and I'm far from you
You¹ve been awake all night
He's a Nobel Prize I said
Too many eyes to see for me
Only yours to cry on my ashes
Long gone
If the countdown on the Eiffel Tower
Could show less than ten but more than a hundred
Tired to look at your photographs
That night through the phone you¹ve been asking for more
Sometimes in the fall, fall, fall, fall
There'll be nothing to keep you far from me
Before I am long long long gone
There'll be nothing to keep me away
And it goes on and on and on, it's everlasting
It's always the same when you're next to me
Sometimes in the fall, fall, fall, fall
You can't blame it on anybody
Some things they don't last
You can't blame it on anybody
I thought I'd entertain you
Let me take you to the heart of the city
Let me misunderstand you
Fallin' down I couldn't notice
She had some glasses on
Few broken bones in the process
I try to keep my attitude
Words of love in broken English
They have a lonesome tone
Didn't understand must be Italian
Must be good looking undressed
You can't blame it on anybody
Some things they don't last
You can't blame it on anybody
I thought I'd entertain you
Let me take you to the heart of the city
Let me misunderstand you
With lil' care and lil' practice
I got to know her well
Light baritone she sings in a choir
With a bunch of guys out of tune
Day is night, right is wrong
Failure notice, I'm giving up I'm tired
Day is night, right is wrong
Love is all, love is evil
Day is night, right is wrong
Love is all, love is evil
Day is night, right is wrong
Obsolete, odd is even
Failure notice, I'm giving up I'm tired
Day is night, right is wrong
Love is all, love is evil
Day is night, right is wrong
Failure notice, I'm giving up I'm tired
You can't blame it on anybody
Some things they don't last
You can't blame it on anybody
I thought I'd entertain you
Let me take you to the heart of the city
Illumination inside of you
Simplicity is in all we do
Like a landslide falling beneath you
Look to the future is all we can do
Like a phoenix rising in the sky
We will run into the morning light
Highly recommended by someone
With an inclination to enjoy
Misinterpret such a simple life
With one eye to satisfy
Like a phoenix rising in the sky
We will run into the morning light
Like a phoenix rising in the sky
We will run into the morning light
Like a phoenix rising in the sky
We will run into the morning light
I am facing the truth
I got to change the way I live
Can't go on this way
The price is too high to pay
After the rain I feel the sun
See how I run to my destiny
Life is a game
I got to learn how to play
I make my own rules
'Cause now I am free to choose
Courage and faith will show me the way
See how I run to my destiny
Like the Phoenix, I rise
From the ashes of life
I don't need fortune or fame
Just some peace of mind
Like the Phoenix, I fly
Leaving the lies behind
The future's golden for me
There is no one who can stop me now
I'm noble and strong
I'm walking down the road that I choose
Each day is a gift
And I know that I can't lose
A glorious future's awaiting me
See how I run to my destiny
Like the Phoenix, I rise
From the ashes of life
I don't need fortune or fame
Just some peace of mind
Like the Phoenix, I fly
Leaving the lies behind
The future's golden for me
There is no one who can stop me now
Like the Phoenix, I rise
From the ashes of life
I don't need fortune or fame
Just some peace of mind
Like the Phoenix, I fly
Leaving the lies behind
The future's golden for me
So, the story says
There was a lonely maid
Her sincere eyes
Were full of deep pain
A world put into prison
A world that's afraid of love
She was walking by night
With sorrow in her heart
Firebird, where are you?
Firebird
My heart is seeking, my heart is searching
In the fullness of the entire universe
My heart is joyful, my soul is free
A real starchild was born for me
The years went by
Her torments went too far
It has changed the color of the sky
Words meant nothing by now
The past faded to plane
In the end she could read
The signs of the times
Firebird, where are you?
The girl asked:
Angelheart, touch me now
My heart is seeking, my heart is searching
In the fullness of the entire universe
My heart is joyful, my soul is free
A real starchild was born for me
So sentimental, not sentimental no
Romantic not disgusting yet
Darling, I'm down and lonely when with the fortunate only
I've been looking for something else
Do let, do let, do let, jugulate, do let, do let, do
Let's go slowly discouraged
Distant from other interests on your favorite weekend ending
This love's for gentlemen only that's with the fortunate only
No, I gotta be someone else
These days it comes, it comes, it comes, it comes, it comes and goes
Lisztomania
Think less but see it grow like a riot, like a riot, oh
I'm not easily offended
It's not hard to let it go from a mess to the masses
Lisztomania
Think less but see it grow like a riot, like a riot, oh
I'm not easily offended
It's not hard to let it go from a mess to the masses
Follow, misguide, stand still
Disgust, discourage on this precious weekend ending
This love's for gentlemen only, wealthiest gentlemen only
And now that you're lonely
Do let, do let, do let, jugulate, do let, do let, do
Let's go slowly discouraged, we'll burn the pictures instead
When it's all over we can barely discuss
For one minute only, not with the fortunate only
Thought it could have been something else
These days it comes, it comes, it comes, it comes, it comes and goes
Lisztomania
Think less but see it grow like a riot, like a riot, oh
I'm not easily offended
It's not hard to let it go from a mess to the masses
Lisztomania
Think less but see it grow like a riot, like a riot, oh
I'm not easily offended
It's not hard to let it go from a mess to the masses
This is show time, this is show time, this is show time
This is show time, this is show time, this is show time
Time, time is your love, time is your love, yes time is your
Time, time is your love, time is your love, yes time is your
From the mess to the masses
Lisztomania
Think less but see it grow like a ride, like a ride, oh
Discuss, discuss, discuss
Discuss, discuss, discouraged
Summertime is gone
And I don't wanna lose you
I don't wanna see you any more
Forget about the sun
I want my city
I want what's pretty too
Party time Party time
Party time Party time
Take me to the place
That makes me happy
I think I'm ready too
Don'tcha know my name
I knew it yesterday
We don't have much to say
Party time Party time
Party time Party time
Summertime is gone
And I don't wanna lose you
I don't wanna see you any more
Forget about the sun
I want my city
I want what's pretty, too
Party time Party time
Everybody says
i'm a lonesome kind of guy
i've been defeated by them all
if they can find me
i'm done
Everybody knows
that it really doesn't matter at all
all the good things that i've done
i'm up against the wall
how come
my file has been deleted
if this is what they want
i can tell you
that the order's alphabetical
don't you get it
sooner or later
i'll be recruited by someone
Everybody knows that it really doesn't matter at all
everybody says
i shouldn't mess with you no more
if you see me on my own
drive on
if i were dismissed
i wouldv'e gotten much more
if i wasn't that kind
i wouldn't care at all
sooner or later, sooner or later
sooner or later
i'll change my whole perspective
if this is what they want
i can tell you
that the order's alphabetical
don't you get it
sooner or later
i'll be recruited by someone
isn't it better
sooner or later, sooner or later
sooner or later
i'll change my whole perspective
So you've got your own little story to tell Some girls they ask to put them on your knees Slowdown, it's hard enough to get along Slowdown, we'll never ever get along That ain't what you had in mind No that ain't what you had in mind You don't know what you're doing
Let go
It's so hard to fill me in
You'd better run as fast as you can
When your eyes are getting low
Tomorrow'll say if you're lost and found
Walking around thinking the same again
To get to you I'll go down on my knees
Last night I swear it wouldn't be the same Last night I swear it never was the same Two is for a while but then one has got to leave That's it! I ain't lying and I won't ask you please I'll tell you what I have in mind
Let go
It's so hard to fill me in
You'd better run as fast as you can
When your eyes are getting low
Tomorrow'll say if you're lost and found
I'll tell you what I have in mind
It's so hard to fill me in
Second to none, I wouldn't seriously get involved in a
thing
Bored of all the talking, you know it didn't change
much
I doubt your intentions are to make me feel any better
today
I even doubt tomorrow will be as easy as it was
I've changed
you've changed
it's not the same
Tell me what 's the difference if I go back to normal
again?
Right away
I should have known I'd look at you
with opened eyes the morning after
Did you cut your hair? Did you change anything these
days?
I heard a "liar" then I heard a laughter 20 calls a day
it makes no difference at all
Last year
Last call
You lost your ways
Tell me what's the difference if I go back to normal
again?
Right away
I thought I heard a lie
I thought I heard a "liar"
I doubt your intentions are to make me feel any better
today
I even doubt tomorrow will be as easy as it was I've
changed
You've changed
It's not the same
Tell me what's the difference if I go back to normal
again?
Right away
I thought I heard a lie
Come, Come
Dropping off the radar
Come, come
Dropping off the radar
Lost illusions
Try the best that you can do
You might get another chance
Burn my leather coat
I need to change my suit
You don't listen to a single word i say
Lies+ hidden codes= what they do
and you're the victim of the crime
Come, Come
Dropping off the radar
Come, come
Dropping off the radar
Lately I'm not expecting you
Please forgive me
For stuff I didn't do
I sure was gonna...
Come, Come
Dropping off the radar
Come, come
Dropping off the radar
There're too many fingers
On the trigger
Guess how to play this game
Before you lose it
Theres nothing I can do about it
You're starting to fall...
Fall in a deeper state...
Hopeful days and stormy nights
I ain't got much to win, not much to lose
Under the burden of my loneliness
It feels so hard to win, so hard to lose
I won't enjoy my collection of stamps
When I'm six feet under the ground
Lonely streets and dusty roads
Lord it's a long way to go back home
Under the burden of your heart of stone
You shrug your shoulders as I decompose
Please keep a eye on those red haired boys
Someday they'll play drum with my shinbones
Now your chewing-gum on my coffin
Take me where I long to be
I can't believe that you want me to wear
The evening tails that will fit my corpse
I don't need a tuxedo
There's no bouncer in the after world
I only just left my dying bed and
Your making curtains out of my shroud
Don't you dig my grave with some excavator
Use a blood stained sword and a snow-white horse, please
A last ride in the city's hearse
Few miles away from heaven above
A few more minutes 'till they bury me
A few more weeks 'till worms lick my bones
I won't enjoy my collection of stamps
Now I'm five feet under the ground
Stormy days and lonely nights
Lord it's a long way to go back home
All the boys raise your hands up in the air (yeah)
Now all the girls raise your hands up in the air (yeah)
Everybody one more time (yeah)
Let's all have a real good time together
One, two, three, let's go
Funky squaredance, funky squaredance, funky squaredance
Tonight's the night girls, yeah
Come on, let's get all antsy
Funky squaredance, funky squaredance, funky squaredance
Funky squaredance, funky squaredance, funky squaredance
Funky squaredance, funky squaredance, funky squaredance
Funky squaredance, funky squaredance, funky squaredance
Funky squaredance, funky squaredance, funky squaredance
Funky squaredance, funky squaredance, funky squaredance
Funky squaredance, funky squaredance, funky squaredance
Funky squaredance, funky squaredance, funky squaredance
Funky squaredance, funky squaredance, funky squaredance
You seem so glad my place is free
Now you're dancing on my grave
What a cruel way to treat a friend
Live my life in dignity
Well I must confess
Looking for a place
Everybody has to demonstrate
And everybody has to see you wait
Thinking of a real way to see
What matters is the love that you give
Remember all the thing that you've seen
Does another go and never seen
Nothing in my forgotten years
Life got a little serious
Give me real self-esteem
It's buried in my P-A-S-T
Give a lot, a whole lot recieved
Heaven-sent T.N.T.
Uh, can't go further, losing
I cant go losing my mind
Remember all the game have I tried
Buried in my P-A-S-T
We call love late at day
Late at night I dropped in hate
Dropping in a heaven fantasy
Heaven knows what I'm gonna do
Living in a lonesome avenue
Done in the P-A-S-T
Go without the love I receive
K-A-R-I-E E-L-E-I-S-O-N
Mmm, everybody, has got to demonstrate
Everybody has a T-I-U
He has things you'd never do
Thinking in a real avenue
What matters is the love that you give
Funky squaredance, funky squaredance, funky squaredance
Funky squaredance, funky squaredance, funky squaredance
Funky squaredance, funky squaredance, funky squaredance
Funky squaredance, funky squaredance, funky squaredance

phoenix was a bust
everything i left my life for
just blew up
the door just literally closed
on you, on me
and the person that you chose to be
you left me wide eyed
waitin all summer
for you to come back
from california and
make the move to
seal the deal on you and me
we made it one month til you started pushin
on the part of your life
ya really know you shouldn't it
was clear you regretted comin here with me
you left me closed eyed so i wouldnt see
and soon after i was swallowed by the city and
spit out
spit out
i had invested all of my trust
it was never if,
it was when you were gonna leave
this heart just wants to go back
to you, to me
to us, before we went to AZ.
you left me wide eyed
waitin all summer
for you to come back
from california and
make the move to
seal the deal on you and me
we made it one month til you started pushin
on the part of your life
ya really know you shouldn't it
was clear you regretted comin here with me
you left me closed eyed so i wouldnt see
and soon after i was swallowed by the city and
spit out
He told me a heart can't smile
If it's filled with tears
Growing up I thought "it's all gone"
Now it comes back to me, again
Ghetto uniform, collect calls
That I can explain
All the things I've ruined, abandoned
They come back to me
Holdin' on together I
Try to set the night on fire
Holdin' on together I
Try to set the night on fire
He told me for those who been drowned
There is no refrain
With one & only youth, a gospel
I do what I can
Holdin' on together I
Try to set the night on fire
Holdin' on together I
Try to set the night on fire
Though I've been trying
To lose it all before it's gone
Whatever comes, a heart can't smile if it's filled with tears
Though I've been waiting
All I got to do is call
I'm diving deeper, won't you get me out of this despair
Holding on together I
Try to set the night on fire
Holding on together I
Try to set the night on fire
My happiness inside us
Has nowhere else to fall
Troubles hearing through the telephone
Every Sunday
I go to Hollywood
I buy my ticket
To see the midnight show
And every Sunday
I live my honeymoon
You rule my body
I just feel how it's good
My mind aches
You bust my real thoughts
When you're with me
Till the night's awayI am sittin'
I watch the fireworks
It's no matter of time
I feel the midnight crush
Feelin' without knowing the other
Tonight, let me handle this affair
Let me handle this affair
There's no ending
Light fades in my eyes
I don't want nobody
To burn my Hollywood
Every Sunday
I go to Hollywood
It's worth waitin
'To see the midnight show
And every Sunday
I live my honeymoon
You rule my body
I just feel how it's good
Feelin' without knowing the other
Tonight, let me handle this affair
You know your french well
Didn't take any decision so far
Hit me like a freight train
Please consider my request
You do expect a Messiah
You want to be European
I would be your Bonaparte
Don't ever care 'bout what Napoleon says
Look out look at look at me
Calm down calm down I said to myself this time Look at what you look like You know it suits you well
Napoleon says to take off your coat
Take off your long johns too
Napoleon says to take off your coat
Take off your long johns too
Look out look at look at me
Calm down calm down I said to myself this time Look at what you look like You know it suits you well
Right hand in a trench coat
Right hand in a trench coat
Napoleon says to come over here
Bring back your long johns too
Napoleon says to come over here
Bring back your long johns too
Look out look at look at me
Calm down calm down I said to myself this time Look at what you look like You know it suits you well
Right hand in a trench coat
Right hand in a trench coat
Look out look out look out
Don't get yourself excited
Calm down calm down calm down
Go get yourself a white horse
Right hand in a trench coat
Counting all different ideas drifting away
Past and present, they don't matter now the future's sorted out
Watch her move in elliptical patterns
Think it's not what you say, what you say is way too complicated
For a minute, though, I couldn't tell how to fall out
It's twenty seconds 'til the last call
Calling hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Lie down, you know it's easy
Like we did it all the summer long
And I'll be anything you ask and more
Going hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
It's not a miracle we needed
No, I wouldn't let you think so
Folded, folded, folded, folded
Folded, folded, folded, folded
Girlfriend, oh, your girlfriend is drifting away
Past and present, 1855, 1901
Watch them build up a meteor tower
Think it's not gonna stay anyway, I think it's overrated
For a minute, though, I couldn't tell how to fall out
It's twenty seconds 'til the last call
Calling hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Lie down, you know it's easy
Like we did it all the summer long
And I'll be anything you ask and more
Going hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
It's not a miracle we needed
No, I wouldn't let you think so
Folded, folded, folded, folded
Folded, folded, folded, folded
Folded, folded, folded, folded
So this is it, you're under the knife
You can feel the pressure rising with attention
Your destiny is calling
(Pick up, pick up)
But the markets overcrowded
(Let's eat it up)
I've seen the dream
(I've seen the dream)
In open eyes
(In open eyes)
And in the back of their mind you're a dollar sign
I saw the dotted line
I see your name in lights
I stand alone
Because no one can save you when you've sunk this low
We're ditching the grammar
We all need to find our own
Why does it seems like no one can save their own soul
We're of the glitz and the glamorous
So this is what it's going to do
Your pocket change in the pocket of a designer suit
You're a product of the city
To be bought and sold
Where the money pays the bills
And your sales are low
I've seen your dreams
(I've seen your dreams)
Trampled in the streets
(Trampled in the streets)
And they're collecting in the gutters for the rats to eat
Another stringent team of the American dream
I stand alone
Because no one can save you when you've sunk this low
We're ditching the grammar
We all need to find our own
Why does it seems like no one can save their own soul
We're of the glitz and the glamorous
This is our call
(This is our call)
This is our time
(This is our time)
We have to shine
We're stronger now
Did you think that we could ever make it out
Did you think that we could ever make it out
Did you think that we could ever make it out
We're stronger now
Did you think that we could ever make it out
Did you think that we could make it out
Or we'd just sink back into the crowd
[X2]
I stand alone
Because no one can save you when you've sunk this low
We're ditching the grammar
We all need to find our own
Why does it seem like no one can save their own soul
We're of the glitz and the glamorous
I stand alone
Because no one can save you when you've sunk this low
We're ditching the grammar
We all need to find our own
Why does it seem like no one can save their own soul
We're of the glitz and the glamorous
She's a phoenix I watched her spread her wings
Why does she always fly away
Oh when I'm feeling as she burns me up inside
Behind those charcoal eyes
I took a breath and let her go
She's as bright as the snow oh ohh oh
So fly away start over somewhere south
She says that the weather's nice
She'd love me to come out
Across the Midwest in the day
Drove a car all the way to Denver
Called me to say she loved the way the mountains still had snow in the
summer
I took a breath and held it in
No she's never coming back again
Fly away start over somewhere south
She says that the weather's nice
She'd love me to come out
Go on and fly away
It's not like I need her now
As I'm burning up inside
I'll forgive her somehow
Fly away start over somewhere south
She says that the weather's nice
But I'd love you to come out
Found a way to break in to your chest
And devour what I find into pieces
Take my time
Fly away start over somewhere south
She says that the weather's nice
But I'd love you to come out
Go on and fly away
It's not like I need her now
As I'm burning up inside
I'll forgive her somehow
She's a phoenix I watched her spread her wings
Mein Rap is' Soul und meine Seele brennt,
das Feuer meine Feder lenkt,
meine Leute, die ich liebe und hier reprensente,
ich schreibe Zeilen mit dem Blut des Lebens,
will das Gute sehen, ich kenn' es gut das Elend,
kann nur gut die Wut verstehen,
wir sind die letzten in der langen Schlange
zur Kasse des Lebens, verlassen vom Segen, im prasselnden Regen,
ich seh meinen Vater mit Tränen in den Augen,
es wird Zeit für mich zu gehen, ich muss nach oben und um's Leben kaufen,
es gibt keinen Mensch, der mich hält,
mein Feuer zu grell, ich stand schon zu lang im Schatten der Welt,
ich will meine Eltern in Häusern sehen und nicht in Betonklötzen,
wo sie nur in kleinen Räumen leben
Homie, sag mir bitte nicht, dass mich das Geld nicht glücklich macht,
no Money, nur Problems, du weißt nicht, was wir hier durchmachen
Von unten nach oben, aus dem Dreck an's Licht,
der Goethe der Straße, wie Phoenix aus der Asche ich flieg
Hook (2x):
Ich war zu lange am Boden,
zu viele Probleme, die mich lähmen,
yo, ich muss nach oben, Homie
viel zu lange am Boden,
zu viele Krisen, ich könnt' um mich schiessen,
muss nach oben, Bitch!
Ich hab' in meinem Leben viel Scheiss gesehen,
aber will mich nicht damit brüsten,
im Gegenteil, ich will die Scheisse vergessen,
ich will von unten nach oben, hab' mit meinem Leben bezahlt und will für jedes Jahr
aufwiegen mit mindestens sieben Karat,
Ich will kein Käfer, ich will AMG fahren,
Leder, großes LCD für Navigator,
dickes Haus und fett Moneyto
Jop, ich will von Wohnung mit Kakerlaken
zur Villa mit drei Etagen,
ich hab' dicke Pläne, Homie, ich will durchstarten,
Ich zahle bar mit Skills,
Geb' Gas am Abend und fahr durch die Straßen,
smoke mit Homies Weed und chill',
nach dem Regen die Sonne,
ich bin ein Kind der Hoffnung
und verbeug' mich vor Gott und meiner Mutter,
denn sie geben mir Kraft zum hochkommen,
meine Leute, mein Klan, mit dem ich marschier',
fokusier mein Ziel und kämpfe für Freiheit,
die Wahrheit, mein Team,
von unten nach oben, aus dem Dreck an's Licht,
der Löwe der Straße, wie Phoenix aus der Asche ich flieg
Hook (2x):
Ich war zu lange am Boden,
zu viele Probleme, die mich lähmen,
yo, ich muss nach oben, Homie
viel zu lange am Boden,
zu viele Krisen, ich könnt' um mich schiessen,
muss nach oben, Bitch!
Mach' den Weg besser frei,
denn ich bin unaufhaltbar,
ich komme, um zu holen, was mir zusteht,
da an dem Mikrofon mein Blut klebt,
euer Hass macht mich stark,
ich lauf' in eure Schläge, eure Fäuse sind aus Glas,
Mein Herz ist stählern, ich werd' mich erheben,
aus der Asche des Leides,
seh' mein Ziel und ich weiß, ich erreich es,
der Tag wird kommen und ihr begreift, was ich meine,
ich strecke meine Flüge aus Feuer und flieg' in die Zukunft,
denn das ist mein Land, meine letzte Hoffnung, meine Zuflucht,
ich glaube an Gott, auch wenn er nicht an mich glaubt,
ich glaub' an mich selbst, auch wenn die ganze Welt mir sagte, dass ich nix taug',
ich wusste schon als kleines Kind, dass dies mein Weg ist,
geschaffen, um zu burnern, meine Mukke, sie belegt es,
A-Z-A-D, V-S-F-S, von der Straße für die Straße,
streu' meine Liebe und bring' Rap back,
von unten nach oben, aus dem Dreck an's Licht,
der König der Straße, wie Phoenix aus der Asche ich flieg'
Ah! Flieg' mit mir... Homie!
Flieg' mit mir, Homie!
Komm'! Flieg' mit mir... Homie
Flieg' mit mir, Homie.
Komm'! Flieg' mit mir... Homie
Flieg' mit mir, Homie.
Komm'! Flieg' mit mir... Homie
Flieg' mit mir, Homie.
Komm'!
You can ride with us anytime you want,
We can journey to the end of the night.
We can look for treasures, of our own delight.
You can crush it up any way you want,
You can churn it into something new.
In the misty morning, I'll be here with you.
Poverty's the wise man's gold,
He throws his riches to the open road.
There's too many wheels turning round,
Kill the engine, we're slowing down.
Please be kind to my son,
The phoenix flies like a comet above
And the poetry runs like an ocean of blood,
Oh my God!
Fire and ashes: this whole town's gonna bleed.
The fever passes, but I'm still down on my knees,
Darling please.
You can walk with me anytime you want,
Cause there's really no place to arrive.
Just enjoy the scenes and you'll be doing fine.
Try to wipe the dust from your sister's eyes,
But it always comes down to you,
When you look inside you'll see you're broken too.
Poverty's the wise man's gold,
He throws his riches to the open road.
There's too many wheels turning round,
Tell you 'bout the future
Of a heart that heals with time...
Still I see in you
Someone I once know
Way back in the past
When my song had words
And the words were meant for you
Tell me when did our future end?
Now I see the truth staring out a window
At love gone astray
Running from herself
Trying to make believe
That it was just a dream
'Cause when love asks of you
More than you can give
You find a way to disappear
Don't you think it's strange
That love could make us strangers?
To be your friend
You ask too much of me
For now I need some time to be
Alone, yes alone
Isn't it strange to love alone
I know 'bout the future
Only time will tell
If you see in me
Someone you once know
A shadow in your life
Before your song had words
And your words will ring true
About love you left in the flames
Well when the smoke clears and I rise
You'll see pain deep in my eyes
But you won't see a tender heart afraid of breaking
The time for tears is yesterday
The time for my life is now
It's time to say
My heart will rise again
So this is what I become
When You leave me to myself
A burned up, hollow, angry, empty shell
An actor on a barren stage
An even-keel with unchanneled rage
Sinking deeper into hell
Bind me to You
Piece me straight throug
Consume me with Your fire
Ravage my heart
Tear me clean apart
And still be my desire
As I descend it starts again
Sliding down, spiraling
Grasping on the breath of corruption
Fighting undertow
Holding on, realizing
My own hopeless helplessness finally letting go
All is madness
As the flames engulf me
Oblivion, refining fire
Making ashes of this life
Burn, fire, burn
Clean this temple
Restore Your holy name
In the onslaught of Your love
And now, as gradual as the fall
The dawn of hope, the brillian sun
Sending all the shadows fleeing
Sweet daylight
A new man rising from the ashes
CLothed in white, bearing a new name
I leave it all behing
Darling you never know
It started years ago
When you're less than kind of done
An adolescent singing out real loud
Some wild English tune
Sing sha la la la la la la
la la la la la la la la
We'll never talk it out this time
You'll learn from all of us
When your time's up
How it all began
Seriously dumb
When you're less than kind of certain
An adolescent calling out real loud
It's what singers do
Sing sha la la la la la la
la la la la la la la la
We'll never talk it out this time
You'll learn from all of us
when your time's up
You bet your life on a cruise ship
Bartending crucial lies
We're destined, wise and we socialize
Bourgeois
Why would you care for more?
They gave you almost everything
You believed almost anything
Bourgeois
Your fire's a false alarm
They gave you almost everything
You believed almost anything
Darling you'll never know
Darling you'll never know
When you're less than kind of done
Adolescence's looking at you now
Like foreign legions do
Sing sha la la la la la la
la la la la la la la la
We'll never talk it out this time
You'll learn from all of us
When your time's up
You lost your mind on a cruise ship
Bartending crucial lies
We're destined, wise and we socialize
Bourgeois
Why would you care for more?
They gave you almost everything
You believed almost anything
Bourgeois
Your fire's a false alarm
They gave you almost everything
It started all in early September
When my godgiven little became a lot older
Goodbyes seal my broken heart
Hold on to your teardrops, you got a long way to go
Did you get older doing nothing today?
Don't you wanna stop complaining?
If one is easy then hard is two
No one knows where you're heading to
Once my private collection, always betting on you
No consolation prizes
Spit out your lies and chewing gum
Cut off your hair—yeah that's it!
If you look like that I swear I'm gonna love you more
I thought about this for a long time
Never had the chance to try and make it better
My heart is waiting for a new you
And there's no other option on the schedule
Love like ours should never die with years
Once you start you can't ever go backwards
'Cause if dark is one then bright is two
No one knows where we're heading to
No matter what it takes, never give up on you
I want you to change it all
I am gonna make it better
No consolation prizes
Spit out your lies and chewing gum
Cut off your hair—yeah that's it!
If you look like that I swear I'm gonna love you more
No consolation prizes
Spit out your lies and chewing gum
Cut off your hair—yeah that's it!
If you look like that I swear I'm gonna love you more
I don't always tell the truth
They don't mind it if you're told where I'm from
Anyone I find intrusive
You will bother if you choose me
I don't always think of you
As untitled, insecure, Chloroform
I would rather stand if you stay
Why would I lie to you?
My love, my love, my love is
My love, my love, my love it is
My love, my love, my love is
Cruel
Buckle up, we'll chase each other
It's not a lot it's just enough to matter
Anyway you want the truth is
I will marry you on Tuesdays
I don't always tell the truth
If you want it you can lose, don't bother
I don't like it if you miss me
Why would I long for you?
My love, my love, my love is
My love, my love, my love it is
My love, my love, my love is
Cruel
My love, my love, my love is
My love, my love, my love it is
My love, my love, my love is
Cruel
Would I long for you?
Is it up to you?
I'm an actor
I'm doin' well
& I want things to be done by someone
Who's taking care of me
I don't even care for me
I just care about what you think of me
Come and get me
I'm protected
If you ever come... late...
You'd better give me what I want
I'm addicted
It's growing strong
It's growing strong again
The consequences
I leave those things for someone else
Don't say I'm doing fine
I'm not even trying to
Bring it on & on & on & on & on & on & on
Bring it on & on & on & on & on & on & on
On & on
I'm addicted
It's growing strong
It's growing strong again
The consequences
I leave those things for someone else
Don't say I'm doing fine
I wanted out of the Biblical bets.
Oblique city credentials.
It's everything that I've ever known.
Coca-Colas, Rosetta Stone.
[Bridge]
The last city, potentially [?]
It's way more than tragic.
I'll never know how to do the show.
You've been lonely.
[Chorus]
Are we gonna do this alone?
Are we gonna do it alone?
Am I gonna do this alone?
Oh when did your [?]
Come on, come out and get me.
I wanted all that was even and planned.
Oblique city potential.
She's everything that I'd ever want.
Who wants [?] to sit with [?]
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
Coca-Cola, vin bottles
Is there anything else,
Is there anything wrong with me?
Or am I [?]
Is there anything else?
Is there anything more for me?
Just don't bother
Don't feed the animals
Don't let them run in circles
Don't be told
It just don't matter
It just don't matter
If you're more than ready run away
From dusk 'til dawn
Last night on the couch you're livid
It's a poor complain
It's the only thing you're sad and underweight
Whatever we're so close to serious
Whatever promise you made
I have no problem to say no
I'll never know
I'll never know
I'll never know you
Restrained
Reach out for me
I'll never know if you don't
It's just another
It's just another
Complicated case to settle
Down the road
Whatever we're too close to serious
Whatever promise you made
From dusk 'til dawn
Don't swear that it is your fault
You're sophisticated
I saw the chandelier
I'm foreign and under stress
Whatever we're too close to serious
Whatever comments you make
I hear the rattle to say no
I'll never know
I'll never know
I'll never know you
Restrained
Reach out for me
If it's not with you
There is no thing that makes wanna settle down
I thought it was a bad cough
But never knew how much illusions hide a torture
Lonesome & forsaken with no gratitude
Who's goin' to tell, devotion's not your problem
It's me against a wardrobe
Focused on the pain to see how we can get along
Doing things, getting better
I'll move on
Together
The more I try the less I care about it
Together
And if you don't see yourself in the mirror, forget what you did
Together
The more I try the less I care about it
I'm giving up my conscience for another
The only one I want is you
Things I wouldn't do
Try to treat me like a friend, get another late call
I'll lose you for another
Cause you can't believe how much your pleasure is a factor
Writing down the logic of my solitude
As far as I'm concerned I'd like to leave it random
I'm acting like an orphan
Let me get to know you better to make me less attracted
Doing things, getting better
I'll move on
Together
The more I try the less I care about it
Together
And if you don't see yourself in the mirror, forget what you did
Together
The more I try the less I care about it
I'm giving up my conscience for another
The only one I want is you
Parisians all gone
Words they're all gone
Let me tell you
I had a fever to empty your closet
I didn't think it would be that hard
You get to do what you want now
Though we'll always have to do it apart
I'm gonna scream 100 000 words
Now that your fever is long gone
Your wishes I couldn't tell, see
I don't hear you talking but pretending
Ain't that enough courtesy laughs
I read my future in a fortune cookie
Without any safety procedure in mind
All of your things in the main hall
You told me to get rid of them, so
Sold an ugly necklace uptown
I found out it was egyptian
I tied up your letters
Burried them all with delectation
Ain't that enough courtesy laughs
I hate that kind of wrong affection
I ain't ready to talk at all
It's all lies, misunderstandings
I'm all alone in the main hall
I'm gonna read every novel you read
I'm gonna learn what's egyptian
Pretend not to talk too much too
Sacrifice all of my agenda
I had a fever to empty your closet
I didn't think it would be that hard
You get to do what you want now
Though we'll always have to do it apart
I hate that kind of wrong affection
I ain't ready to talk at all
It's all lies, misunderstandings
Quiet please, turn it off, shut it down
Slow down your tan, I'm gonna miss you a lot There it goes... Your tears again... This is no fun...
There it goes... Your tears again... As you walk away...
Then it's hard to tell what kind, they do look alike
Oh no that ain't what I said
Oh no that ain't what I said
Always trying to fall asleep to make my way out Looking at the ceiling, I'm counting the days There it goes... Your man is down to the bottom...
There it goes... Your man is willing to cooperate...
Then it's hard to tell you kindly that ain't what I'm like
Guess I'd better find us a way out
"One time too many" I said
It's a long way to look alike
That is what you say
Slow down your tan. I'm gonna miss you a lot There it goes... Your ID's been stolen...
They wave their hands goodbye... As you walk away...
Then it's hard to tell who's kind, they do look alike
Oh no that ain't what I said
Oh no that ain't what I said
Guess I'd better find us a way out
"One time too many" I said
It's a long way to look alike
Countdown unless you're juvenile let's go
God bless your miss somewhere
We're sick for the big sun
It doesn't matter what you did
And if you did it like you been told
True and everlasting that's what you want
True and everlasting that's what you want
Don't say no your breakfast tears are gone
Resist or let go, you're borderline withdrawn
Down, unlit from the bottom there is a misfit
Better than it looks, better than it looks
Better than it looks, better than it looks
We're sick
We're sick for the big sun
We rumble and trip
I realize that too
Hear the lonesome bell, is this knowledge?
Ask forgiveness you know somewhere
You're fixed to an atom
It doesn't matter what you did
And if you did right let's go
Cruel and everlasting that's what you want
Cruel and everlasting that's what you want
Don't say no your breakfast tears are wrong
Do you remember when 21 years was old?
Down unlit does it matter that you care the less?
Better than it looks, better than it looks
Better than it looks, better than it looks
We're sick
We're sick for the big sun
We rumble and trip
I realize that too
True and everlasting, it didn't last that long...
We're the lonesome, we're the lonesome yell
I've been talking to my self
And I've been walking around for days
Trying to make the pieces fit
There's always something in the way (regret)
And the world remains the same (perfect)
To the world a single name (downside)
On the road that isn't going (distance)
And the weight of you is so long
And I'm searching for my self
I'm trying to find the words to say
I can never let you go
And a part of me will stay (with you)
I'll never let you down (I swear)
You'll never hit the ground (inside)
And the forces still remain (outside)
If you're lost don't ever hide
Before you open your eyes
I'll be coming around again
Before you open your eyes
I'll just pretend
I am always by your side
I am always by your side
I've been thinking to my self
And I've been hoping I'll be right
When I make the pieces fit
Will I bring you back to life
I'm trying to find a way no
I'm running out of time
I've tried giving it all aside (I swear)
If you're lost don't ever hide
Before you open your eyes
I'll be coming around again
Before you open your eyes
I'll just pretend
I am always by your side
I am always by your side
By your side
I'm coming around again
Open your eyes
Open your eyes
Because someone loves you
Open your eyes
Open your eyes
Because someone loves you
Open your eyes up and see
If you're lost don't ever hide
Before you open your eyes
I'll be coming around again
Before you open your eyes
I'll just pretend
I am always by your side
I am always by your side
Hit "rewind". You sit surrounded by a frame, your laugh infectious.
Hair in flames, your star was lonely but it lives.
And we don't have the time for tears. A step beyond.
Deep in the corner of my eye I swear I saw a curtain rise.
I can't be certain it could be that I'm just seeing what I want to see.
But just who guides these hands when they're shaking with frustration?
When scraping in the sand, who provides the inspiration?
Acres
Visible horizon
Right where it starts and ends
When did we start the end?
Acres
Visible illusion
Where it starts it ends
Baby when I saw you turning at the end of the street
I knew a time was gone and it took me like ages
Just to understand that I was afraid to be a simple guy
I tried my best to smile but deep inside my heart
I felt it was shouting like a crowd dancing
I guess I couldn't live without the things that made my
life what it is
Can't you hear it calling oh yeah
Everybody's dancin' oh yeah
Tonight everything is over
I feel too young
I can't lie on my bed without thinking I was wrong
But when this feeling calls this world becomes another
Nighttime won't hold me in your arms again
I got a very good friend who says he can't believe the
love I give
Is not enough to end your fears
I guess I couldn't live without the things that made my
life what it is
Can't you hear it calling oh yeah
Everybody's shakin' oh yeah
Tonight everything is over
I feel too young
Oh rainfalls and hard times coming they won't leave me
tonight
I wish I knew what I was doing
Just do let this spirit survive
Everybody's dancing oh yeah
I guess I couldn't live without the things that made my
life what it is
Can't you hear it calling oh yeah
Everybody's dancing oh yeah
Tonight everything is over
I feel too young
Justice done
People in fashion
Rattle, don't hesitate
I look at my own, your chances are slim
Victory lap, for unfettering eyes
Dating vendetta win small spray pesticide
Justice done
Caledonian, rich and young
Self-entitled portrait
Court in session, justice done
I'll rush into it anyway
Forever is for everyone else
We're off a couple secrets
Another lonely Tuesday home
Stole the kisses anyone near
Caledonian, rich and young
Self-entitled portrait
Court in session, justice done
I'll rush into it anyway
Forever is for everyone else
We're off a couple secrets
Another lonely Tuesday home
Help me, I'm falling down
Help me, I'm falling down the stair
Of my thoughts, my heart
Help, I'm slipping down
Help me
I'm slipping down, I feel my skin dry
Miles away they could be rebirth
They could become a cloud
They could be anyhow
Just a small portion of the ocean, soâ¦
Give me something softer cautionly (?)
Give me some feathers so that I can stop it and glide
And glide up
Like a little birds and glide up
Like an eagle
With gigantic wings
Master the winds of change
Master the winds
Reborn again
Like a phoenix
So help me
Help me, I'm gonna fly
Help me
Help me, I'm gonna fly so high
Like a phoenix
Born again like a phoenix
Born again like a phoenix
On the sun
It is raining
Waterfalls
Flow with fire
You can hear
Phoenix cry out
Please forgive me my love
On the sun
Years are countless
And the days
Burn forever
Still she waits
With the message
Please forgive me my love
When the fire burns hot like cold rain
When the fever burns down in your brain
Will you still be with me my dear
Please forgive me
Stay with me on the sun
I heard opposites attract so you're stuck with me
I'm like Jack Kerouac on the road for weeks
But when I come home you'll be there for me, right?
Without you I'll never make it
I got a sick sense, I got a reason to worry
And sometimes I'm dense but these thoughts come in a flurry
You say they're nonsense but I dreamt you left in a hurry
I don't think I'll ever make it alone
Annihilate, I'm wide awake
Don't walk away, I'm suffocating
Don't change your mind 'cause you'll be killing me
Hitting another all time low and there's no where left to go
Make up your mind, don't be the death of me
If you want me here I am counting down to zero
I got a panic attack like you wouldn't believe
And my breathing's out of whack like a drum machine
I know if I pass out you'd resuscitate me, right?
Without you I'll never make it
Is it okay now or did you meet someone better
Without a Mohawk with a real job and a sweater?
Leaving me shell shocked, steady getting ready for a header
I don't think I'll ever make it alone
Annihilate, I'm wide awake
Don't walk away, I'm suffocating
Don't change your mind 'cause you'll be killing me
Hitting another all time low and there's no where left to go
Make up your mind, don't be the death of me
If you want me here I am counting down to zero
Standing on the edge of the great divide
You're pushing all the right buttons to make worlds collide
Would you stab me in the back like a homicide
Or leave me buried in your bullshit like a landslide?
Are you biding your time with me
Waiting for someone better to come along?
As I sit and I scream this song
Are you biding your time with me
Waiting for someone better to come along?
If you are I proved you wrong
Both ends burn, I'll be waiting for you
I won't turn, I'll be waiting for you
Both ends burn, I'll be waiting for you
Don't change your mind 'cause you'll be killing me
Hitting at an all time low and there's no where left to go
Don't change your mind 'cause you'll be killing me
Striking at an all time low, and there's no where left to go
Make up your mind, don't be the death of me
If you want me here I am counting down to zero
I need to find a little solitude, my love
In which to catch alight my breath
I need to build a little fire in my heart
Which will spit and spark 'til my death
So I can unfurl the pretty flames
That have my arms
Which I will raise up to the sky
With a twisted smile
And I will sing "Glory Be"
And inside, whisper, "help me, please"
And shout out "Love, love, love"
For eternity
Oh, what have I become?
And where is my mother?
Oh, bring me my sticks and spices
That I may build this birthing pyre
He says I have the soul of the sun
But I'm yet to ignite it
(I'm yet to invite it)
And she says I'm not around any more
But she still tastes the smoke on my tongue
But I will unfurl the pretty flames
That have my legs
And waltz away my flesh and feathers
And I will cry tears of glee
And I will beg you to save me
But I'll be flying, flying, flying
It's mythical policy
Oh, what have I become?
And where is my mother?
Oh, bring me my sticks and spices
That I may build this birthing pyre
Just give me a thousand years, my love
I'll meet you by the ashes
Oh, what have I become?
And where is my mother?
Bring me my sticks and spices
That I may build this birthing pyre
What have I become?
Who's the boy you like the most?
Is he teasing you with underage?
Could he be waving from a tropical sunset?
Static silhouette somehow
Single in this bed someday
Quiet till it fall, fall, falls!
Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome
Focus looking forward the Colosseum
Oh no, what did I say? What can I say?
Rome, Rome, many tears have fallen here
I'll be driving, you look the other way
That ain't easy to ignore
When shutters open all the way
When it's candlelight I see I go insane
Distant silhouette somehow
We shared a cigarette somewhere
Addict till it fall, fall, falls!
Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome
Focus looking forward the Colosseum
Oh no, what did I say? What can I say?
Rome, Rome, many tears have fallen here
I'll be driving, you look the other way
Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome
Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome
Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome
Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome
Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome
Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome
Always and forevermore
I call to say I'm on the way
2000 years remain in a trash can
Let burn the cigarette somewhere
Ashes till it fall, fall, falls!
I stand outside under broken leaves
I know I can't do without, the future's trying to wait
I've never loved you and if I loved you
I wouldn't say that I'm sorry, oh no
I stand outside under broken leaves
Always and forevermore
We're together dead and lonely
I thought I couldn't do this without you
Single in this bed somewhere
Ashes till it fall, fall, falls!
Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome
Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome
Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome
Let this fire being fed with all our failures
We chose a box for the memories
Put down some tears inside
And leave regrets behind
Let this fire grow up as a new beginning
From the cold ashes the body rise
Ice turns to water
And flows along fire feathers
In our time we're searching for more than illusions
We're confused inside a storm of deceptions
Pulling us deeper and deeper
And it's our time
We're searching for more than illusions
And it up to us to go
Everywhere but down here
The quicker the better
With wild open wings the phoenix goes again
We're all chasing our role
Living in memories shadows
Forgotten souls on photos
Rebirth never come without a fire and you're
The spark
The wood
I have become, comfortably brilliant
comfortably brilliant
I have transcended the reptilian
I hardly can control myself, I hardly can control
myself
I am more than human now, I am more than God allows
Phoenix in the wetware
Phoenix, something wild and rare
Phoenix in the wetware
Phoenix, Phoenix
Look at me, look at me
Tell me now what you see
A man among men, or something else
Something gone beyond, something gone beyond
Something new, something ideal
Something precious, something half-concealed
Something not quite right, that sets your mind alight
Phoenix in the wetware
Phoenix, something wild and rare
Phoenix in the wetware
Phoenix, Phoenix
Don't get me wrong
I love you for your beauty,I love your helplessness
Don't get me wrong
I love the way you worship me
Don't get me wrong
We will survive
Phoenix in the wetware
Phoenix, something wild and rare
Phoenix in the wetware
Phoenix, Phoenix
I don't know if it's in my genes
From where it comes or what it means
I only know without your help
I hardly can control myself
The world of mind is ours forever
We've made a link that can't be severed
In a world that values treachery, our honesty is plain
to see
Phoenix in the wetware
Phoenix, something wild and rare
Phoenix in the wetware
Ground Zero
Peering into darkness without prospect, the future to be left in despair
A presage gorn of plenty filled with plague and famine
Unbroken mind case dramatic ground zero
From a distand dream to be seen, surely undreamt yet unbelieved
Seem to be, with me, in severe insanity
Forever there, forever deceived
No disguise of fevered innocence
A lovers fear in mourning, epiphany
[Chorus:]
Another life, another time
Dream of stars but proclaim fire
As flames meet earth, I throw you down
To watch your flesh blister and char
I anoint you, dress you in white
Attempt to allay those fever dreams
These pitiful dreamers...
Witnessed the reconstruction of fallen stars
Your life is doomed, a misplaced soul you are
Your thoughts are sparkles in despair
Fighting the cold, inconsiderate emotions
Confusing future threatening ahead
Deep down the abyss of my crystalline soul
Into the valley of sore thoughts
Like that insignificant refuge of lies
That make you shiver, that make you cry
No disguise of fevered innocence
A lovers fear in mourning, epiphany
[Chorus]
Edacious burning, destroying, turning
What was living to death
Walking, stalking, going, gone [2x]
[Chorus]
All the kings horses are coming down
To leave the empire
And something was sent to protect us now
Reborn by the fire
AND WHEN THE ASHES ARE FALLING
ON A DECEMBER MORNING
Let the sunlight rise again
WHEN THE PHOENIX IS GOING TO RISE
AND THE SUNLIGHT SHINES AGAIN
LET A FREEDOM CROSS THESE MINDS
WHEN THE PHOENIX IS GOING TO RISE
AND THE SUNLIGHT SHINES AGAIN
Thes was in 639
December the 7th
The end for the "kingdom of a thousand years"
Was sent out from heaven
There are too many souls who had lost their way
And many too many are passing by
When we're looking into the darkest of all
nights
There is something every time
But nothing will restrain - a tiny light from shining
WHEN THE PHOENIX IS GOING TO RISE
AND THE SUNLIGHT SHINES AGAIN
LET A FREEDOM CROSS THESE MINDS
WHEN THE PHOENIX IS GOING TO RISE
we deny
more of ourselves
we submit
we could be one
save what you can
it doesn't matter
we host the germ of faith
and answer to one
realize things unfold in it's due time
run around
see if you can escape on tonight
the cycle see's the cycle knows
the cycle binds us
we commit
more of our kind
we admit
we could be one
save what you can
it doesn't matter
we host the germ of faith
and answer to one
it breaks us all
Dragons hide in wide open spaces
Breathing fire through a smiling face
When the smoke has cleared
Turn and face the fate you feared and
(Chorus)
Rise, ashes still in your eyes
You laugh or you cry, whatever gets you by
Like the Phoenix, fly
Your heart burned in the desert wind
It blew your mind and your innocence
Go and curse the sun
Or become the stronger one
(Chorus)
There once lived a girl
Who could not close her eyes at night
Fearing darker worlds
She slept days only dreamin' of light
In the dark, cries a tear for wings
Like the lark, in her cage, she sings
Turn the world upside down
'Til the hope you lost is found and
Phoenix
Words & Music by Allison Crowe
You didn't have to hurt me, you know
It wasn't entirely necessary
And I'm not sure how much of that you meant
And I'm not sure how far
It went
But that doesn't really matter now
I meant every word I said except for
Maybe it all just paved the way
For what needed to happen anyways
And out of the ashes I rise
The one who can look up is the one who flies
And remember to never look back or down
Don't crash into the ground
And I am not a saint, yeah I get that
I've had it explained to me far
Too many times
But I do try, and I like to think
That one day I'll get back what I've
Given
And you said that I would never be happy
And now that I am I wonder if
You'd believe me anyways
But that doesn't matter now
And to tell the truth I don't care what
You think
'cause out of the ashes I rise
The one who can look up is the one who flies
And remember to never look back or down
Don't crash into the ground
I can't help you now, no I can't stop you
Hope is a saviour
On battlegrounds
Never a failure
Beyond all bounds
Hope ever flies up
High over all
High over all
Hope is a brother
You comprehend
Never another
Half such a friend
Coming so gentle-wise
Within your heart
Within your heart
There's a secret spot
Where your dreams may go
Where your doubts are not
Where dreams thrive and grow
Keep within your heart
A sheltered place apart
It's the calm that lies
In disillusioned eyes
Spite of all sadness
Your doubts and your pain
Hope is your gladness
Your power and gain
Hope ever flies up
High over all
High over all
Nations were founded
And kingdoms fall through
Peoples were haunted
Racial subdued
But hope is a saviour
On battlegrounds
to practice flight in your grasp
i feel withdrawn from your hands
the only difference isn't clear
i shout my name but you won't hear
and it seems like tomorrow has been and gone
there's just no inbetween
sometimes i think the only way i'll survive is alone
and i know that we're all gods
but today i feel like nothing
i wanna redefine what it's like to be on my own
it's just how i feel sometimes
cause it's so hard for me
no, i don't want your sympathy
it's just a part of my mind
i doubt you wanna hear this
though my feelings are so strong
it's why i say i'm torn
and why i can't conceive of bliss
the phoenix tries to to hold on all it has
it's dreaming for the walls to fall and break apart
to fly away somehow yet always be at home
Said goodbye, San Francisco
Got to go, Arizona
Said why'd you leave me, Denver
I don't even have a chance
Guess Ohio's got my number
Rhode Island's got my name
Snap, the wood makes you dance
The music's in its chamber
The door is locked and sealed
The weight is on your shoulders
The past is at your heel
Guess the plight is in your fancy
When you rip out though the door
The rest is how you feel
We're not gonna take it out to the farm, lest you leave
The rest is how you make it
Gentle as the sun come up in the mornin'
As the moon goes out this evenin'
Open the shade
The night time's gone away
You'll have my love if you say
I dreamed a fellow took your arm
Led you to his ???
I woke up shattered in the night
Frozen feelings up on their way
A shaking hand in me today
I left the San Francisco Bay
Where to go I had no idea
26.10 was the price to pay
A messed up kid with no ideals at all
I thought those 26.10 I shouldn't give'em away
I remember this young guy died and I took his part
He got far too many stitches on his pretty face
Long time to see but I always thought us two would be serious
I was looking around town, thinking the same as you
I'm far gone but your long distance call
And your capital letters keep me asking for more
It's never been like that, It's never been like that
It's never been like that, It's never been like that
It's never been like that, It's never been like that
It's never been like that, It's never been like I know
I'm far gone but your long distance call
And your capital letters keep me asking for more
Where to go I had no idea about it
Most of the people do, their only doing just fine
I don't wanna stay in place no more, see
Ain't doing well well well, I am only doing just fine
Long time no see, long time no say
Got little to tell, I don't say much, but I might
Something always told me us two would be serious
I am looking around town, thinking the same as you, humm
I'm far gone but your long distance call
And your capital letters keep me asking for more
It's never been like that, It's never been like that
It's never been like that, It's never been like that
It's never been like that, It's never been like that
It's never been like that, It's never been like I know
I'm far gone but your long distance call
And your capital letters keep me asking for more
It's never been like that, It's never been like that
It's never been like that, It's never been like that
It's never been like that, It's never been like that
It's never been like that, It's never been like I know
I'm far gone but your long distance call
And your capital letters keep me asking for more
Long time no see...
What do you think now?
Sometimes i think there's nothing going wrong
(I feel alone)
And i feel alone
Lonely without a soul
Trapped in the hole
Now i understand
I am the phoenix
Burning my desires, waking my dreams
Waiting and yelling till i'll rise again
They gather
They guard
They cure
Through the cage
What do you think now?
Sometimes i think there's nothing going on
(Nothing for all)
But my fire wings still burn
Your eyes cannot shove
My herat in the hole
What do you think now?
Sometimes i feeli like i'm nit alone
(Alone anymore)
And my fire wings still burn
My eyes can now show
My heart in gold
I will fight everyday

You could do it better
Drakkar Noir
Cheap fixtures, religious tales
Light a cigarette with you
Too close to get to
How come everyone knows you before they meet you?
[PreChorus]
In the jingle jungle
Jingle junkie
Jungle [?]
A better standard
You're mediocre, I want your tongue
[Chorus]
Jingle jungle
Jingle jump before you stumble
I'm just a glass and you're just a glass
Oh no
Scandinavian leather
Drakkar Noir
Fake riches, oblivious tales,
On a domestic airline
Sweaty [?]
[PreChorus]
[Chorus]
How I wish I knew you
How I wish I knew you from before
'Till I die [3x]
Burn the avenues, until the city unfurls
Won't we have to know
Do we have to know what truth is?
Why I wish I knew you
Why I wish I knew you from before
'Till I die [3x]
I'm just a glass and you're just a glass
I was hoping I was dreaming to play an important part
Be the prince of your world
Always good
Behaved
Almost like a child
I was trying too hard
To mean something
To you
I was trying too hard
To find a place
In your life
I was trying too hard
To be a friend
That's all
I was trying too hard
To find true love
After all
True love
Faithful until death
Touched by your love
I was feeling divine
When I saw you smile
I could hug the world
When I was with you
I could climb a mountain
Any route
I was trying too hard
To mean something
To you
I was trying too hard
To find a place
In your life
I was trying too hard
To be a friend
That's all
I was trying too hard
To find true love
After all
True love
Was playing by the rules
To make it work
Was playing my role
I did my part
We've been through the lows
Were diving deep
We've been through it all
Sailing the seas
I was trying too hard
To mean something
To you
I was trying too hard
To find a place
In your life
I was trying too hard
To be a friend
That's all
I was trying too hard
To find true love
After all
True love
They say that you don't
You promised you will
I'm calling my number
To sort out the thrill
Almost, almost, almost the real thing
How could I have missed that one?
How could I have missed it?
Am I the only one?
Your Lancelot
20 year-old and bored
Run for a better future
Pour lava in the ocean
Drown into the throne that you sit on
Follow, follow, follow me
Holy father and son
It's odd enough for you to live on
So long, so long Salomé
Tell me that's what you wanted
Follow, follow me
You're more than I want
I figured you will
Back in September
We'll make it a deal
Almost, almost, almost the real thing
How could I have missed that one?
How could I have missed it?
Am I the only one?
Your Lancelot
20 years often bored
Run for a better future
Pour lava in the ocean
Turn the eternal carousel on
Follow, follow, follow me
Holy father and son
It's odd enough for you to live on
So long, so long Salomé
Tell me that's what you wanted
They say an end can be a start
Feel like I've been buried yet I'm still alive
It's like a bad day that never ends
I feel the chaos around me
A thing I don't try to deny
I'd better learn to accept that
There are things in my life that I can't control
They say love ain't nothing but a sore
I don't even know what love is
Too many tears have had to fall
Don't you know I'm so tired of it all
I have known terror dizzy spells
Finding out the secrets words won't tell
Whatever it is it can't be named
There's a part of my world that's in the way
You know I don't want to be clever
To be brilliant or superior
True like ice, true like fire
Now I know that a breeze can blow me away
Now I know there's much more dignity
In defeat than in the brightest victory
I'm losing my balance on the tight rope
Tell me please, tell me please, tell me please...
If I ever feel better
Remind me to spend some good time with you
You can give me your number
When it's all over I'll let you know
Hang on to the good days
I can lean on my friends
They help me going through hard times
But I'm feeding the enemy
I'm in league with the foe
Blame me for what's happening
I can try, I can try, I can try...
No one knows the hard times I went through
If happiness came I miss the call
The stormy days ain't over
I've tried and lost know I think that I pay the cost
Now I've watched all my castles fall
They were made of dust, after all
Someday all this mess will make me laugh
I can wait, I can wait, I can wait...
If I ever feel better
Remind me to spend some good time with you
You can give me your number
When it's all over I'll let you know
If I ever feel better
Remind me to spend some good time with you
You can give me your number
When it's all over I'll let you know
It's like somebody took my place
I ain't even playing my own game
The rules have changed well I didn't know
There are things in my life I can't control
I feel the chaos around me
A thing I don't try to deny
I'd better learn to accept that
There's a part of my life that will go away
Dark is the night, cold is the ground
In the circular solitude of my heart
As one who strives a hill to climb
I am sure I'll come through I don't know how
They say an end can be a start
Feels like I've been buried yet I'm still alive
I'm losing my balance on the tight rope
Tell me please, tell me please, tell me please...
If I ever feel better
Remind me to spend some good time with you
You can give me your number
When it's all over I'll let you know
If I ever feel better
Remind me to spend some good time with you
You can give me your number
When it's all over I'll let you know
If I ever feel better
Remind me to spend some good time with you
You can give me your number
So sentimental, not sentimental no
Romantic not disgusting yet
Darling, I'm down and lonely when with the fortunate only
I've been looking for something else
Do let, do let, do let, jugulate, do let, do let, do
Let's go slowly discouraged
Distant from other interests on your favorite weekend ending
This love's for gentlemen only that's with the fortunate only
No, I gotta be someone else
These days it comes, it comes, it comes, it comes, it comes and goes
Lisztomania
Think less but see it grow like a riot, like a riot, oh
I'm not easily offended
It's not hard to let it go from a mess to the masses
Lisztomania
Think less but see it grow like a riot, like a riot, oh
I'm not easily offended
It's not hard to let it go from a mess to the masses
Follow, misguide, stand still
Disgust, discourage on this precious weekend ending
This love's for gentlemen only, wealthiest gentlemen only
And now that you're lonely
Do let, do let, do let, jugulate, do let, do let, do
Let's go slowly discouraged, we'll burn the pictures instead
When it's all over we can barely discuss
For one minute only, not with the fortunate only
Thought it could have been something else
These days it comes, it comes, it comes, it comes, it comes and goes
Lisztomania
Think less but see it grow like a riot, like a riot, oh
I'm not easily offended
It's not hard to let it go from a mess to the masses
Lisztomania
Think less but see it grow like a riot, like a riot, oh
I'm not easily offended
It's not hard to let it go from a mess to the masses
This is show time, this is show time, this is show time
This is show time, this is show time, this is show time
Time, time is your love, time is your love, yes time is your
Time, time is your love, time is your love, yes time is your
From the mess to the masses
Lisztomania
Think less but see it grow like a ride, like a ride, oh
Discuss, discuss, discuss
Well I really got to go now
Phony eyes and you're not just anyone
Even though we're not supposed to
I would rather be [?] if anything
[Pre-Chorus]
And you can't cross the line
But you can't stop trying
Alone, alone, alone
Crystal [?]
[?] Canoe
Do you need an idol or need someone to talk to?
[Chorus]
Put your name on my list
SOS in Bel Air
When tired, you're no fun
When idols are boredom to everyone
When every piece of every costume
Are [?] I recall the pretty things
Is it the last of me or lesson 1?
[Pre-Chorus]
City and desert coexist
Depending on the things you're wearing
Wildlife binoculars
Tell me that you want me
Tell me that you want me
They teach you suffer to resist
Too much intention, presbyterian
Mint julep testosterone
Tell me that you want me
Tell me that you want me
Cool
I'm just trying to be cool
It's all because of you
Some fanatic attitude
We're both on
Open for business says it all you can't go wrong
Is innocent too immature where you're from?
Tell me that you want me
Tell me that you want it all
Two dozen pink and white ranunculus
Why? What are the problems to solve?
To part time holy bachelors
Tell them that you want me
Tell them that you want me
Cool
I'm just trying to be cool
It's all because of you
Some fanatic attitude
We're both on
Open for business says it all you can't go wrong
Compliments sound too cynical where you're from
Tell me that you want me
Tell me what they want is
Gruesome,
I don't care where you're from
Nothing's that personal
There is no physical evidence of cannibal boyfriend
Tell me that you want me
Tell me that you want it all
Why don't you tell me that you want me?
All move so fast here,
No one can last here,
Lucky for us dear,
Round and round we go.
Darling, the turn is resistance
Do you, I do
Forgettin’ to follow your instinct
Do you, I do
I will stay for this last transformation,
From where we start it soon gets precarious,
I will stay for this last transformation,
Beauty and tragedy released in the end.
Here now we’re kneeling,
Now we’re revealing,
Purge every feeling,
As we turn to dust.
Don’t get yourself into mischief,
Do you, you don’t, do you,
Together whatever the distance,
To you, I'll come to you.
I will stay for this last transformation,
Flares in arcs will lead us out to sea,
Far above you the stars light the heavens,
Beauty and tragedy released in the end.
Out in the distance,
Blue god encrypted,
Phoenix persistent,
Baby when I saw you turning at the end of the street
I knew a time was gone and it took me like ages
Just to understand that I was afraid to be a simple guy
I tried my best to smile but deep inside my heart
I felt it was shouting like a crowd dancing
I guess I couldn't live without the things that made my life what it is
Can't you hear it calling oh yeah
Everybody's dancin' oh yeah
Tonight everything is over
I feel too young
I can't lie on my bed without thinking I was wrong
But when this feeling calls this world becomes another
Nighttime won't hold me in your arms again
I got a very good friend who says he can't believe the love I give
Is not enough to end your fears
I guess I couldn't live without the things that made my life what it is
Can't you hear it calling oh yeah
Everybody's shakin' oh yeah
Tonight everything is over
I feel too young
Oh rainfalls and hard times coming they won't leave me tonight
I wish I knew what I was doing
Just do let this spirit survive
Everybody's dancing oh yeah
I guess I couldn't live without the things that made my life what it is
Can't you hear it calling oh yeah
Everybody's dancing oh yeah
Tonight everything is over
I've spent all summer days driving
I'm tired of holidays ruined
No more take-away's, expired food
I need a real day
Time runs faster when you're loaded
Bright lights blind me all weak
Living in the city, I'm a high-speed drill
I need a full day diving
Tons of heavyweight food
Roosters from the sister islands too
I'd better get working
I'm bored with all that brainwashing
Let's break all separate rooms
Changing's no fun if you don't want to
I need a good day sailing
To tell the sun and the moon
That I am turning for no reasons too
And I keep waiting
Driving to the gas station
Caught by a traffic jam blues
Life is nonsense, I don't have a clue
I need a cool day riding
Feeding all the horses at dawn
Searching for the truffles, going through the woods
Then I'll be waiting
I've passed all summer days driving
I'm tired of holidays ruined
No more take-away's, expired food
I need a full day diving
Tons of heavyweight food
Roosters from the sister islands too
Feelin' kind of down 'cause I needed some female company. Suddenly I felt this pair of eyes starin' at me. She got to move me, she got the soul, Never should have told me she was only fourteen years old. How was I to know?
She said ... CHORUS Get it up baby, don't you want me to shake that thing? Get it up baby, drive me crazy, I'll do anything. Get it up baby, I came even to make you say, shake that thing.
Oooo ...
Make me want to yell, make me want to shout, make me want to scream. I didn't have to fantasize, she made me dream. She got to move me, she got the soul, Her eyes could tantalize for fourteen years old. How was I to know?
She said ... CHORUS
Owww ...
CHORUS
