The story is told of the
Power of gold And its lure on the unsuspecting It glitters and shines It badgers and blinds And constantly needs protecting. Balance the cost of the soul you lost With the dreams you lightly sold Are you under The power of gold? The letters and calls Got you climbing the walls And everyone wants a favor They beg to remind you Of times left behind you But you know the past is a loser. The face you're wearing is different now And the days run hot and cold Are you under The power of gold? You're a creature of habit Run like a rabbit Scared of a fear you can't name You own paranoia Is looming before you But nobody thinks that It's a game. Balance the cost of the soul you lost With the dreams you lightly sold Then tell me That you're free Of the power of gold. The women are lovely The wine is superb But there's something about the song That disturbs you |

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 Got to carry on |

I see the raven's made Her nest in your eyes She's got you thinking that Her love is a prize And you'll go under from The weight of her lies As the raven flies As the raven flies She'll bring you stories That just never sound true She'll bring you secrets That were never meant for you, And just as you come round She'll send you back through She's in love with you She's in love with you. Darker, darker Don't let her talk her way Into you. Lonely, lonely You know she's only No good for you. I see the raven's made Her nest in your eyes She's got you thinking that Her love is a prize And you'll go under from The weight of her lies As the raven flies As the raven flies As the raven flies As the raven flies |

She says no When she means yes And what she wants, you know that I can't guess When we want more, you know we ask for less Such is the language of love.... I say leave When I mean stay But she don't see and so she moves away What we really want, you know we rarely say Such is the language of love It's tooth for tooth & eye for eye We hide our hearts & then we won't say why It's truth for truth & lie for lie Such is the language of love One cries foul And will not speak The other claims a little victory And all the time You know we fail to see This is the language of love When a love begins to wander No one ever knows But we feel it deep inside us Long before it shows Long before it shows We hem & haw We balk & bluff Our words don't ever seem to say enough But a simple smile A tender touch Speaks the true language of love (repeat chorus ) ( repeat 1st line) |

Across the vein of night There cuts a path of searing light Burning like a beacon On the edges of our sight At the point of total darkness And the lights divine divide A soul can let its shadow stretch And land on either side either side. And balanced on the precipice The moment must reveal Naked in the face of time Our race within the wheel As we hang beneath the heavens And we hover over hell Our hearts become the instruments We learn to play so well. Wealthy the spirit that knows its own flight Stealthy the hunter who slays his own fright Blessed the traveler who journeys the length of the light. Outside the pull of gravity Beyond the spectral veil Within our careful reasoning We search to no avail For the constant in the chaos For the fulcrum in the void Following a destiny Our steps cannot avoid. Across the vein of night There cuts a path of searing light Burning like a beacon On the edges of our sight At the point of total darkness And the lights divine divide A soul can let its shadow Stretch and land on either side. Wealthy the spirit that knows its own flight Stealthy the hunter who slays his own fright Blessed the traveler who journeys the length of the light. In a spiral never-ending Are we drawn towards the source Spinning at the mercy of an unrelenting force So we stare into the emptiness and fall beneath the weight Circling the Nexus in a fevered dance with fate Wealthy the spirit that knows its own flight Stealthy the hunter who slays his own fright Blessed the traveler who journeys the length of the light |

I saw her first in a beggar's game Her eyes were wild but her laugh was tame Those people knew her by another name I knew that she'd be mine I knew that she'd be mine. She took me in on a winter's night The air was brittle and the moon was bright My heart was heavy but her touch was light Deep in the dance we wandered Deep in my heart she fell. The candles glistened and the water gleamed She drew a bath and the windows steamed She looked like every woman ever dreamed In the heart of a lonely man. In the heart of a lonely man. She took my blindness and she led me through As night retreated and the daylight grew And with the first rays of the sun I knew Love had another captive Love had another fool. The spell is broken and the chains fall free Finally my heart has come home to me It seems I've waited an eternity. (Repeat first verse and chorus |

Tucson, arizona Rising in the heat like a Mirage Tony keeps his chevy Like a virgin locked in His garage He brings it out at midnight And cruises down the Empty boulevards And he prowls the Darkened alleys That snake between the city's Thirsty yards The lonely desert skies reflect The anger in his eyes And it is dawn. His father died of drinking And left five children sinking With his mom His older brother bobby Never made it back from viet nam With high school well behind him He lives at home and works this Shitty job. And he thinks his '60 chevy Is the only true amigo That he's got His heart is filled with sadness And his soul is like some Ugly vacant lot. Mary estelle hanna Came out from louisiana For the sun A deal gone bad in dallas Left her burned and broke And on the run To make the rent and groceries She takes this job at $3.15 an hour Serving shots of whiskey And tequila In some smoky red-neck bar And she dreams some day She'll make her way to l.a. And become a movie star. Tony saw her working He swallowed hard and asked Her for a date Mary laughed and answered "i would but every night I'm working late" He said he had some cocaine That she could have if she'd Just ride along She said "what the hell, I may a well I haven't had no fun in So damn long" He picked her up at closing time They pulled out on the road And they were gone. Tony's mom got frantic When she found her son had Not come home Mary's roommate panicked And called the sheriff from A public phone They asked her lots of questions She tried her best to tell Them what she saw. And late that night They found poor mary Lying in some narrow, Dusty draw And the coroner reported That she hadn't been Deceased for very long. Two weeks on they found it Buried to the windshield In the sand There inside lay tony With a small revolver in His hand The papers simply stated It must have been the Drugs that drove him mad The neighbors speculated What could make a good boy Go so bad? Well, it might have been The desert heat It might have been the Home he never had. |

She's got a way of getting so inside you That you think she's gonna steal your soul She's got a way of making sure that you can't let go. She's got a trail of broken hearts behind her Like a shadow where no shadow's cast I ain't the first one and I doubt that I'll be the last. Too longtoo late You're wrong To ever think she'd wait. Chorus She don't look back. She don't look back. The lady don't look back And when she's gone she's gone. You can never tell just what she's after You can never read it in her eyes And in her laughter there's no hint of compromise. You can stare into the fire forever You can squeeze a stone until it bleeds But you will never find the kind of love she needs. Too muchtoo late You're such a fool to think she'd wait. (Repeat chorus twice |

Longer than there've been fishes in the ocean Higher than any bird ever flew Longer than there've been stars up in the heavens I've been in love with you Stronger than any mountain cathedral Truer than any tree ever grew Deeper than any forest primeval I am in love with you I'll bring fire in the winters You'll send showers in the springs We'll fly through the falls and summers With love on our wings Through the years as the fire starts to mellow Burning lines in the book of our lives Though the binding cracks and the pages start to yellow I'll be in love with you Longer than there've been fishes in the ocean Higher than any bird ever flew Longer than there've been stars up in the heavens I've been in love with you I am in love with you |
