Party lights
is there anybody here tonight? Doesn't anybody have a light? Party lights Champagne and caviar cocaine and Shalimar Don't push too far your party lights People tell me that I'm fading fast but I can't last the whole night through Everybody now it's closing time I can't find my way to you don't lose your head Remember all those things your mama said but every vampire here appears well-fed You look half-dead They like you, kid Party games somebody pinned a needle in me and I went insane Walking on the edge of the line in the driving rain I felt no pain It's a hell of a game People tell me there's an end to this but one last kiss turns into two Everybody can't leave now i don't know how to make it through Heady wine moving too slow for me can't keep time watching the silent movie for a sign in my prime heady wine You move too slow I'm drowning- don't let go I'm drowning- can't say no keep it low hell of a show People tell me that I'm fading fast but I can't last the whole night trough Everybody now it's closing time I can't find my way to you |

Friendly stranger
look what you do to me Smiling faces and I melt inside singing praises of your company I want to lay me down Stay all through the night You are too good to be wholly and totally mine You are too good to be slipping away like wine and I'm waiting, praying skating on the edge of the line Let me down easy Let me down easy chorus: I want to make you love me and I want to make you smile and I want to be your family for just a little while I get frightened by the thunder and the lightning roars like a bullet in the pourin rain I get heightened by your wondering arms Lay me down- do it all over again you are too good to be wholly and totally mine You are slipping away and I'm making you stay and I'm waiting for the sun to shine I go rolling down the incline holding on a lifeline stopping on the edge of a dime Let me down easy Let me down easy repeat chorus |

She is too old to care
Why not just leave her there? We'll se her once a week If we have the time, we'll speak This is the sunset of your life The old ones like to claw and clutch Be careful not to offer much They understand the fist and crutch Their skin like leather to the touch This is the sunset of your life The empty mile the frozen face the drooling child humiliates If I were you I think I'd die here in the sunset of my life The long and lonely night has just begun This withered witch cannot be you There will be no sun |

Blue sky morning, red sky night
Sailor take warning when the eagle takes flight If I had wings I would delight and fly away Black cloud riding on the cotton fields back home Every man's an island in the desert of his soul take to the sky - there's nowhere else to go - and fly away I can rememer all the days of my life cold, dark september when the eagle took flight I had to stay, I had to stay I cried a river to the empty sky someone deliver me by and by I'll fly away, Il'll fly away It don't take nothing to be lonely It comes too easy to be holy It does nothing for the soul but tear holes in tomorrow Somebody somebody said I don't want to be nobody saidI don't want to see nobody said I don't want to need nobody said nothing at all Sitting and waiting for the axe to fall Sun come raining, lighten up the day I ain't complaining I got nothing to say I'll fly away, I'll fly away If I had the courage to be flying blind I'd fly too high to buy my way home somebody wants somebody to be lonely and nobody settling only for love- how much time can you borrow? Making it easy to lie Faking it on the sly Shaking and stammering taking it up to the sky Hammering nails in tomorrow Sun come raining lighten up the sky I ain't complaining I get no reply I'll fly away, I'll fly away When I get the courage to be flying blind I'll fly to high to buy my way home |

don't let the sun go down on me
I do not want to be alone tonight We'll be right, you'll see Night is a shadow on the soul and if you want to set me wholly free stay by me tonight I've been afraid of love knowing I need you to stay I've been ashamed to love knowing you're leaving me day after day I'm begging you, pleading I like you best when night runs a shadow on the soul No more empty hands to hold Don't let the evening sun go down I haven't found a way to trade the night sheer delight burning bright candlelight Lay me down - astound me Not a sound- surround me Skies unbound, I'm unwound Lay me down I've been afraid to love This is no time to hesitate I've been ashamed to love but lay me down, I just can't wait I like you best when night is a pleasure you can give Lay me down - now I know how to Lay me down - now I know how to lay me down Now I know how to live |

Someone is waiting

I'll cry tonight
night is the enemy Poisons the memory Martyrs it secretly Midnight comes too fast It comes too silently The moon has no mercy now to live anymore One day the rains will come and wash away the tears Sunlight will fade the years Midnight comes too fast and I don't want the night to last Shadows on the glass Faces in window panes Old lace and picture frames rattle their ancient chains Midnight will surprise moonlight at the door The night has a thousand eyes and i don't know why to live any more They told me how you loved me when I finally got the bravery to look beyond these prison walls and shadows hanging over me I cannot find a way to be a lover for your life, although they tell me it comes easily I somehow cannot let the seasons pass without demanding that they last and though I know forever well, I also know my private hell Silent voices in the night They are crying- Sacrifice One day the rains will come and wash away the years Sunlight will fade the tears Midnight comes too fast and I don't want the night to last |
