1. Otherworldly Pleasures
Mother Earth: "Whatever you do child don't face to the Sun!" Wise Old Wizard: "Where do you think you are going?" Misguided Soul: "Away" Wise Old Wizard: "Where are you? We know you're out there, somewhere....." It's getting late in the day And I haven't heard a whisper Where are you now? We'd like to know As we miss you You misguided soul You rebellious soul Maybe you're the one who's right Perhaps we just don't understand. 2. Another Misguided Soul Well your mother's at her wits end Your father's disowning you What else did you expect them to do? You better pull yourself together In to a better frame of mind You're so, so, so young With so much treasure yet to find Believe it or not we really care Believe it or not we want to see you alright Believe it or not you're a part of our life Believe it or not we want to see you alright You're another misguided soul Changing places, changing faces We used to know Another misguided soul Let in the light, shut out the dark It's got to go, it's got to go It's got to go, you know, it's got to go, go, go It's getting late in the evening And I stare into a flickering fire I can see your tortured soul Rise above the funeral pyre I hope you can keep your aching head Well above the rising tide When will you realise We're only on your side! Believe it or not we really care Believe it or not we want to see you alright Believe it or not you're a part of our lives Believe it or not we want to see you alright You're another misguided soul Changing places, changing faces We used to know Another misguided soul Let in the light, shut out the dark It's got to go, it's got to go It's got to go, you know, it's got to go, go, go ... take it Believe it or not we really care Believe it or not we want to see you alright Believe it or not you're a part of our lives Believe it or not we want to see you alright You're another misguided soul Changing places, changing faces we used to know Another misguided soul Let in the light, shut out the dark, it's got to go.... |

It's so damp in here and I've lost all my reasons
It's so cold in here and now I'm shivering, shivering It's so dark in here and I've lost all my direction And I don't know quite where I stand anymore But I will win through, though I think I need you now I will overcome the pain that you put me through Yes, I will survive, I will overcome the heartache That you put me through That you put me through I will overcome it I've lost all my senses, I can't see or feel the right way And my vision is blurred and I have no balance left at all And it's still so dark in here, I've got to find my lost direction Before I lose control for good But I will win through, though I think I need you now I will overcome the pain that you put me through Yes, I will survive, I will overcome the heartache That you put me through That you put me through I will overcome it I've got to rise up again Leave the embers to cool I've got to walk out of here In one piece, I will win through Because I'm leaving this time Going to find a new way of living Yes, I'm leaving for good Because I know just where my interests lie And that's not with you, no That's not with you, no Yes I will win through, though I think I need you now I will overcome the pain that you put me through Yes, I will survive, I will overcome the heartache That you put me through Whatever you do, whatever you say, wherever you go Don't you lose control Don't you lose control Don't lose it |

As unexpected vision in a faraway foreign land
You took away my heart But I couldn't take your hand Floating on the mist by a willow-lined lake You played the part of temptress Or was it just my mistake? To the backdrop of a chateau And an antiquated mill You enchanted my soul And I was captured until I realised that fate was never on my side Then you drifted out of view And the moment's magic died Je croyais t'avoir vue Je suis sur que je t'ai vue Mais non, je sais que je t'ai vue Je t'ai vu I saw you Or were you just a passing shadow Or were you just a passing dream Tell me, were you just a passing shadow Or were you just a broken dream Or were you just apassing shadow Or were you just a broken dream |

Ninth floor, Hotel Metropole
High security, protecting another world Ten thousand reports of the unexplained And to this day that is how they remain Official denials, mass cover-ups No unauthorised personnel This door is kept tightly shut! Shut, shut, shut, shut Tightly shut, kept shut Shut, shut, shut, shut This is Room 801 You're looking at Room 801 Here in Room 801 The legendary room 801 801... White lights, getting brighter Then fading, disappear A distant drone, getting louder Then fading, disappear Radio interference, no logical explanation An unusual blip on the radar screen It's too large for a man made flying machine Yes we know, we know They know, they know We all know, we know They know, they know We all know, yes we all know This is Room 801 You're looking at room 801 Here in Room 801 You're looking at Room 801 801... From the Air Ministry To the DDI From the MOD To the CIA All information classified Not available to you or I From Salandin to Kilgallen From Gaydon to Lakenheath What are we to believe? What are we to believe? What should we believe? What the hell should we believe? Tell me! Will we ever solve these mysteries? What lies within Room 801? "I am convinced that these objects do exist They are not manufactured by any nation on earth I can therefore see no alternative to believing That they come from some extra-terrestrial source!" |

We're never in, we're never out
We're always roundabout We're never far, we're never near We're always not quite here We're never up, we're never down We're ever changing sound... chaser... Here today, here tomorrow Gone today, gone tomorrow Amaranth, you're the overseer of all Never gonna fall Amaranth, eternally lie, never gonna die You're timeless You're never gonna fade You've got no need to pray Timeless Wish I could be like you Forever blessed with life We never win, we never lose We always battle through We climb up high, we lay down low But we never follow the flow We never arrive and we never depart We're not seen as modern But we're state of the art Here today, here tomorrow Gone today, gone tomorrow Amaranth, sitting pretty in the mud Took your chance and survived the flood Amaranth, mocking flesh and blood Though I don't disagree You're timeless Well, you've seen it all before What lies behind that door Timeless Watching us fade We're gonna tear it all apart I lie awake at night Empty, for fear of another worldly nightmare We journeyed through green valleys And along the rivers of life In search of a holy chalice To provide us all with the wisdom That we may need to conquer Our darkest thoughts and emotions Never once looking behind us For fear of loss in our faith But we never lost our faith What, what? You don't believe in us? You fools! For if you perish Then I will wither You are my spirit We will fade together I will guide you Never fail you Keep you breathing Spare your lives Through whatever may come your way Through wars and famine Disease and flooding I will always be at your side And your love lies bleeding Swamped by fear and misunderstanding But our resolve and constant searching Will nourish our dreams and keep us thriving |

Sit tight, under the strip light
You've got to keep calm You'll be alright Hold your head up, open up wide So that I can see, what lies inside 5 4 3 2 And now we're gunning for you Extractions required This may make you feel a little tired Now I'm drowning in the daylight I'm staring at the ceiling And I look into my nurses eyes The kindest eyes I'll see today I'll see today Needle sharp, don't carp We've got to make a start You know I've got a heart Now just sit still Don't move I'm closing in now It's coming through Now you're feeling numb Your senses, they all disappear I'll just turn on the power With a flick of the switch And we're ready to begin I'm drowning in the daylight I'm staring at the ceiling I look into my nurses eyes The kindest eyes I'll see today I'll see today I hear the sound of a drill edging closer Making contact with my inner self Though I feel no pain I'm aching from the stillness of being laid up here all this time But I'm sure he knows what he is doing Doesn't he? I hope so Now I'm drowning in the daylight Staring at the ceiling I look into my nurses eyes The kindest eyes I'll see today I'll see today The kindest eyes The kindest eyes The kindest eyes that I'll see today The kindest eyes The kindest eyes The kindest eyes that I'll see today |

Hush now baby, please don't cry
Everything is going to be alright I'll make sure our secret never gets out Of that I know there is no doubt One whisper from you And I know I'll go down Four times life And I'll be out for the count So hush now baby, don't say a word For if you do they'll think it quite absurd It's ridiculous, preposterous It just couldn't happen here, no way! Could it? For I am a man of standing And you are but a disturbed child So who do you think they are going to believe... Who? Sad boy sits a'weeping on his bed Thinking about what the principal did Thinking of his friends and Mum and Dad And the loving life that he once had But now it's been replaced by the seediest show And no one it seems even wanted to know I'd like to climb inside Your warped and evil mind Taking a sharp knife To the Devil's cancer festering within you The pain that I provide Will make you realise That your conscience Will be racked with guilt forever EXORCISING DEMONS I'd like to climb inside Your godforsaken soul And tear out your jaded heart EXORCISING DEMONS Such a shame you have to live Paid for the state I'd rather see you dead Though I know it's much too late EXORCISING DEMONS Young man sits a'pondering alone Coming to terms with the ghost of his past Psychological scars Are never going to heal The pain subsides as the years go by Now that he is older And has grown much stronger Maybe he's got the will to live again Exorcise those demons once and for all |

It's getting late in the evening
And the party is almost over A quarter to three, we are alcohol free And the music's faded away It's just you and me sinking further into the sofa Everybody's gone to say hello to the moon Drifting together into the realms Of another dimension Where nothing is ever Quite as it appears to be Always the unexpected Lurking, around every corner Now it seems we are standing on the middleground A no man's land, hearing unfamiliar sounds My vulnerability, it's scaring me I'm not so sure about this middleground Everything is calm The sounds have all disappeared Get back on the tracks you know There really is nothing to fear As long as we stay on the path that leads to ecstasy Comforting each other, and our minds will be free And now it seems we're caught up in the middleground A no man's land hearing unfamiliar sounds My sensibility, it's deserting me Not so sure about this middleground Now I feel trapped in the middleground It's plain to see, it's not easy When you're caught in the middleground Julius Caesar beware of the Ides They are coming to get you And the house on the hill, is feeling quite ill Too many spirits you know! Poor old Canute cannot hold back the sea Keeps getting confused between reality and fantasy... And now it seems we're leaving the middleground Rising above the chaos on which we're staring down Moving further into the distance Now we're flying away from the middleground Towards the morning and more familiar sounds Not so keen on this great divide Got to keep well clear of the middleground It's quarter to nine and time to rise, again |
