I still believe in God, but God no longer believes in me
There's a crystal view from my window And I can see years to come I live for the burn and the sting of pleasure I live for the sword, the steel, and the gun I can tear down the walls, storm them barricades Run to the place where the frightened crawl Desire lurks beyond good and evil So dance on the graves where the hammer falls Over this land All over this wasteland Over this land All over this wasteland You can touch, but please keep your distance You're innocent and pure and with no shame The spirit is willing, and the flesh is graved Your teasing your torment with the pleasure of pain Over this land All over this wasteland Over this land All over this wasteland Heaven and Hell, I know them well But I haven't yet made my choice My feelings dead 'cause I'm shouting loud And no one can hear my voice Walking the tightwire, can't look down Strung out high, above you all Faithful wind blows through this land Howls my name, Hell is my fall Over this land All over this wasteland Over this land All over this wasteland |

Snow blind, dog tired
Slow grind, and barbed wired Last chant of the jungle trance And the fast step of the monkey dance craze War paint, misty days and dizzy faint Keeping the faith, spinning and turning Watch the flames Of bridges burning Turning colors and shedding skin Shining bright through thick and thin Mirror of Gods, legend and myth The fatal charm of the treasured Gift wrapped and heaven sent Sun trapped on islands of intent Avenging angel of the wild and yearning Stoke the flames Of bridges burning It's burning me over Bridges burning Burning, drives me wild Yearning for the snow child Blind men cry but shed no tears See no evil but speak in tongues And hearsay all lovers leap 'Cos there's no other way across waters deep Fuel the fire and the fool is learning To run from the flames Of bridges burning |

I see your dancing, laughing, naked
Sweet and pretty face And the promise, burning brightly In your crystal-shot eyes Your savage, and violent flesh, The cut that bleeds, the kiss that stings We're shooting up stars and desperate snows That fall from shimmering skies, So (chorus) Take my hand and lead me To the Garden of Delight Take my hand and lead me To the Garden of Delight Revelation is laid, and reflects On the windswept liquid mirror Of this breathless world, this Happy Death This elegance in charm The treasured first fleeting touch of a gracious stranger In-charmed me and entranced me I know you can do me no harm, so (chorus) We're playing with fire, dancing in the flames And we're covered in burns that may never heal And angels may come, and angels may go But it's heaven on earth when you (chorus) |

Books and covers and part time lovers
Spinning in rooms in cities of rust I'm stranded, struck out on this line There's smoke and fire and steel and wire And glass and spire and dust One to the floor at dawn with lips tied and drawn Sleepless nights spent, with angels heaven sent Stay with me, lay with me, lay down by my side Stay with me, lay with me, take me deep inside Lay with me, stay with me, lay with me Stay, with me Stay, with me All of us lying there in the dreams Speak of days and another place I wander as the gypsy under a beckoning moon Speak of time, and another face They would in languid cry a fleeting furtive sigh From the cradle to the grave love to desire and crave Stay with me, lay with me, lay down by my side Stay with me, lay with me, take me deep inside Lay with me, stay with me, lay with me Stay, with me Stay, with me I'll laugh for you, and I'll dance for you But don't ask me to shed any tears when I have to go You are a joy and a pleasure to love and to hold Your promises, are as pure as the driven snow Passing shapes in the night the touch distraut and light As you brightly shine, your love tonight is mine Stay with me, lay with me, lay down by my side Stay with me, lay with me, take me deep inside Lay with me, stay with me, lay with me Stay, with me Stay, with me |

There's the crime of passion
And the crime of revenge But the worst crime of all Is the crime of regret Speak of the devil And the devil may speak of you Why can we Let sleeping dogs die Deep, it cuts deep And the affection it grows And heaven only knows What you were to earth And the giving birth To the giving rounds of judgement And by fact of reason you accuse of treason Claim betrayal to the Holy Ghost Of the sacred past Its fading fast and forever You took my hand And turned it over Why can't we let sleeping dogs die No devil so dark As the devil I knew There's no love lost And no reason why Talk, of faith you talk But you were the one intent on stun You took my glory and pride Sanctity defied And you never knew What the gods could bring By playing the game Of whose to blame It gets harder all the time To put my trust in you So reverence please Let sleeping dogs die Let sleeping dogs die Let sleeping dogs die |

Tarot strewn across the floor
Fate creeps under the creaking door Say farewell to the salad days Arms held out for the needle haze Scars, scars start to show But don't, don't despair for the shame I know Bible for the love and damned Religion for the pagan man Faith and prayer for the chosen few Mystic shades of violent hue Blood, blood on my cheeks And the taste The taste of ash curls across my tongue Sacrilege, burning on the funeral pyre Sacrilege, toss and turn on the cross to burn Rape and pillage the sacred word Heart of darkness crowned and stirred Rite of passage reckless whirl Fruit forbidden ritual swirl And you, what can you do? And I, I say there's nothing you can do to stop this Sacrilege, burning on the funeral pyre Sacrilege, toss and turn on the cross to burn Tarot strewn across the floor Fate creeps under the creaking door Say farewell to the salad days Arms held out for the needle haze Scars, scars start to show But don't, don't despair for the shame I know Sacrilege, burning on the funeral pyre Sacrilege, toss and turn on the cross to burn. |

Run you ragged
Torn and jagged Sharp tongued, ripped and ragged Couldn't find the party line Gee whiz, it's happy time Mirror, mirror, reflects me hazy The heat's on, I'm running round crazy Here's the road, didn't miss a trick While you trash the punch and kick I'll kiss the lips that sealed your fate I'll bring you flowers and place them on your grave Dreaming of colours, swamped in dust Sweet dreams all covered in rust Looking at heaven, gladdest ghosts seen Turn to kill this crazy dream You are revered for your work with ink and mirrors You are renowned for bringing me steel and power So dance, dance, dance on Dance, dance, dance, dance on glass Dance, dance, dance on Dance, dance, dance Dance on glass Shadow boxing, mild and meek Send me flowers, tongue in cheek Medicine man cast a spell Head spins round, kiss and tell So dance, dance, dance on Dance, dance, dance, dance on glass Dance, dance, dance on Dance, dance, dance Dance on glass Cheeks on fire, dance on glass A touch of magic, a hint of class Dress in leather, play in the dark Pain and torture leave their mark Take no prisoners, smash the light Lunatic fringe, kiss and bite Wild promise, cheeks are red Battle cry, and then it's off to bed You've taken my heart and ripped it from my sleeve Hold it in your hands Grip your fingers and it starts to bleed So dance, dance, dance on Dance, dance, dance, dance on glass Dance, dance, dance on Dance, dance, dance, Dance on glass You shudder at a touch |

It's no shot in the dark
And no trick of the lights You tease me, adore me Talking dirty, sitting pretty Lay me down and anoint my wounds Dust up, bust up, let's get down to the nitty-gritty You call on favours promised and sworn Changing names and changing places The blade digs deep And the cut begins to sting There's more to this than reason Or the old familiar rhythm and rhyme Take me shake me lead me To the floor and hey let's swing And the dance goes on And the dance goes on and on And the dance goes on And the dance goes on and on and on and on We're going up in flames We're burning up in a blaze of glory Don't put fire into the hands Of the weak and faint, the weak and frail Tripping the light fantastic Let's celebrate our great escape For goodness sake, it's all the same The sinner and saint, heaven and hell And the dance goes on And the dance goes on and on And the dance goes on And the dance goes on and on and on and on We're going up in flames We're burning up in a blaze of glory Don't put fire into the hands Of the weak and faint, the weak and frail Tripping the light fantastic Let's celebrate our great escape For goodness sake, it's all the same The sinner and saint, heaven and hell And the dance goes on And the dance goes on and on And the dance goes on And the dance goes on and on and on and on |

Let me come inside your ivory tower
Let me come inside your hallowed walls God, it's heaven in here Fix me with your hand of praise Fix me with your touch of precious thrills Your fingers dance across my skin Reaching out for the pride of man Hand in hand, flesh in flesh We're walking through the fire of love Breath by breath, and flame by flame We burn till the sun rises and shines hot Love comes gushing, love runs free My love comes all over you My love comes for you Love me to death, my flower Run barefoot through my hair Naked on my lips Love me to death, my precious Smother me with kisses Drown me in your waves of falling sweetness Hold me dear, bury me deep Bless me with your word of savage honour We love more by fate than design So give me your hand and I'll gladly give you my life A flower, that sways in the breeze You must be stronger than the winds that blow you away Blow you away Love me to death, my precious Run barefoot through my hair Dance wild on my lips Love me to death, my flower Lay me down on your bed of petals Cover me with your honey, my blossom Love me to death Love me to death Love me to death, my flower Love me to death, my treasure Run barefoot through my hair Dance wild on my heart Love me to death, my precious Love me to death, my love Tarnish, taint and punish me softly Softly love me to death Love me to death |

The silver moon and a singing breeze
I'm walking out under the stars Light a cigarette, and watch the smoke As it chases my dreams away I turn and gaze out to the sea And watch as the waves come tumbling in Off in the distance an angel cries As the ship of the line comes into bay (Chorus) I'm just an island in a stream I'm all at sea, come rescue me I'm just an island in a stream I'm all at sea, come rescue me Building castles, and flying flags And my lips begin to sting I feel the sand, beneath my feet And my hallowing heart begins to sing The flashing light warns of danger here, But the ship come on, sailing in I run for the shores, and away to hide I need a time and a place to think. (Chorus) I look around to find a friend for life Seeking refuge in your arms Splinters of ice, thin, sharp, and cold Pierce my freezing skin I was scared of your embrace You show me a grave new world And against the tide and dashed on the rocks The ship of the line comes on in (Chorus) (Chorus) |
