How do you know when it's time for you to go
How can you stop when you don't know how to start
How can you go back when you don't know why you're here
How can you see when your eyes begin to fade

How will you hear when you've heard it all before
How do you do all the things you want to do
How much can you take when you've taken all you can
How can you act when you've never seen the script

How can you choose when you don't know which is right
How far can you go if you've been there before
How can you shine if you've never seen the sun
How does a child become a man without a child
How can you heal someone who doesn't want to heal

Your eyes are like deep wells of desire
Once in your arms I'm on fire
You were sent girl so perfectly true
Changing my life
Now I'm a survivor

Heaven sent
That's what I call you

Late at night when the evening fire has died
There's a look in your eye
Seductive images fly

One day you'll see what angels can see
Dressed in black if she comes back
I think I'll lose my mind

Tuesday she works
In the library uptown
Some useful knowledge
Can always be found
Don't burn the library
Til you've read all the books
Sometimes in life
You get a second look

Light beams from outer space
Drifting to your satellite
Your dish responds

Communication disinformation
So entertaining
Blood money blood money
It's wild in here
There's a girl on the floor
She's gonna blow this place apart
Gonna take us all
All away

Communication disinformation
So entertaining
Blood money blood money
It's wild out here
You should see the light
From the crown of the king
The king of the night

Spinning metal blue satellite
Your dish responds

Communication disinformation
So entertaining
Blood money blood money
It's wild out here
Situation's alright
Gonna keep up the lies
And our version of life

I won't leave this dirty place
I'll stay here 'til the end
The lights are on
So action man
Show us the truth

Communication disinformation
So entertaining
Blood money blood money
There's a war out here
There's a bomb on the floor
Gonna blow this place apart
Gonna take this show away

Yes it's me
I am the one
To make you see
Where we belong
I was shaking
Like a leaf
All wrapped up
In my dirty sheets
If I agree
To what comes next
I would be faking
With the best of them
It seems a crime
I would commit
Without the difference
Of all the world's gifts

Sweet sweet sweet
Could you taste it

Never never never
Never never never
Taste it

To dream
All the time
Without a scream
In the dead of night
All those faces
Come back to me
I'll be begging
To swim that sea

Yes I made
A picture story
Make you cry
In all your glory
A need to quench
The thirst of many
To justify
And make ready

Sweet sweet sweet
Could you taste it

This realization
Owes us strength to show
If you're uncertain
You're invited to believe
These are the words I speak
These are the words I speak

A dislocation
From where we once came from
Give sons and daughters
Because we want to go on

These are the words she speaks
These are the words she speaks

Sweet sweet sweet
Could you taste it

And I was lost for words
In your arms
Attempting to make sense
Of my aching heart
If I could just be
Everything and everyone to you
This life would be just so easy

Not enough time for all
That I want for you
Not enough time for every kiss
And every touch and all the nights
I wanna be beside you

We will make time stop
For the two of us
Make time stop
And listen for our sighs

Not enough time for all
That I want for you
Not enough time for every kiss
And every touch and all the nights
I wanna be inside you

In our fight against the end
Making love we are immortal
We are the last two left on earth
And I was lost for words
In your arms
Attempting to make sense
Of my aching heart
If I could just be everything
And everyone to you

Not enough time for all
That I want to you
Not enough time for every kiss
Not enough time for all my love
Not enough time for every touch

Not enough time for all
That I want to you
Not enough time for every kiss
And every touch and all the nights
I wanna be inside you

I see the rising sun
I feel the warming one
We've come a circle
To the way we once begun

No one's really sure
How to make it up
Or give a name to the way
We've been acting lately

All around

A man he buys a gun
He is his father's son
But one day he takes to gun
And takes the lives of one and many

Looking out one day
A message comes to me
I saw a woman tell the truth
And end up behind bars

I walked an empty street
Proud to spill a tear
Then came my shame
My fear to blame
The one and only

See the rising sun
Feel the warming one
We've come a circle
To the way we once begun

When you're down and confused
Nothing seems right
And it's you who decides
Who's going to make it right

Well life ain't no joke
But it's good when you smile
Do you know where you are
Steal everything
But you won't get far

Sometimes you will fall
Whatcha gonna do
Give your friend a call

We know that you can smile
Even though it takes a while
To lose your fears and say
Gonna lose your fears and say

Do you know who you are
And where you're going to
Don't you know that love
Gonna pull you
Gonna pull you through baby

Nicky's in the corner
With a black coat on
Running from a bad home
With some cat inside

Now where did you find her
Among the neon lights
That haunt the streets outside
She says
Stay with me

Beautiful girl
Stay with me
Beautiful girl
Stay with me
She wants to go home

From doorway to doorway
Street corner to corner
With the neon ghosts in the city
And she says
stay with me...
She's so scared
So very frightened
Anything could happen
Right here tonight

If you ever want to taste it
Go down to the wishing well
Poison in the well won't make it
Keep yourself as strong as can be

All men I'll take you
Take you down and tell you why
I said woman gonna take you
Take you down a well that's wide

Take it to the river
Take it to the world
I say loving heart
Gonna show the way

All men
Whatcha seeing
Living it all for the life
Say all men
Whatcha seeing
Gonna change your ways
Gonna change your ways
Gonna change your mind

If you're ever gonna taste it
Never look right or left
Look ahead
I'm the healer
You're believing

Gonna carry ya to the end
Gonna carry ya to the end

I'm a healer
I'm a healer

Maybe there's something in me
Trying to hitch another ride
Have you ever felt this moment
When you're looking out of control
All the ways I could have taken
Just add up to indecision

I'm gonna get this back on line
To me there's no reason why
All my troubles soon be leaving
Wash away the pain of mine

Get me to the place I'm standing
There's a reason down below
Maybe there is something in me
Trying to take another ride
Have you ever felt the moment
When you're losing all control

All my troubles soon be leaving
Mine

My strange desire
Is waiting here
To be my light
My shadow my storm

This is all
And this is you
Turning into another dream
Please don't be
Another dream

Do you really think we're cared for
Do you really know we're loved
Look at all my resolutions
Promises to break your heart
Why do we make it hot to handle
Why do you lose our self-control
Strange desire take me over
Offer me to the all above

This is all and this is you

Meet again touch again
Must have wanted
Some paradise
Long ago
That's unwise so unwise
Look again I said
Touch again
Believe your fate
That's alright that's alright

I can't see how I can
Turn around what has been done
I was just like a child
With my eyes wide open

History and any cause
And my eyes are still open
But my mouth my mouth is shut
I'm closing off the lies

Making my own mind up
When I can I will
How many dirty little secrets
Were kept behind my back

Men and women
Men and women
Men and women
Giving each other the sham

Hungry at any cost
Now my eyes are still open
But my mouth my mouth is shut
I'm closing out the lies and promises

Men and women
Men and women
Men and women
Giving me the sham

Hey, here is the story
Forget about your troubles in life
Don't you know it's not easy
When you've gotta walk upon that line
That's why
You need
That's what
This is what you need
I'll give you what you need
Don't you get sad and lonely
You need a change from what you do all day
Ain't no sense in all your crying
Just pick it up and throw it into shape
Hey you won't you listen
This is not the end of it all
Don't you see there is a rhythm
I'll take you where you really need to be

On the talk back show
On the radio
At the local bar
In the hot traffic
By the red tail lights
Everybody's down on their knees
Listen like thieves
But who needs that
When it's all in your hands
And we take it down
To the end of town
Where they have control
But they're loosing touch
When the lights go out
Everybody's down on their knees
Listen like thieves
But who needs that
When it's all in your hands
Everybody's down on their knees
Listen like thieves
For the end of sense
But who needs that
You got it all in your hands
It's all in your hands
It's all in your hands
You are all you need
You are all you need
That is everything
So don't hesitate
There's no time to waste
You just do it for yourself
I say
Everybody's down on their knees
Listen like thieves
But who needs that
When it's all in your hands
You got it all
You got it all
When it?s all in your hands
You got it all
You got it all
I say
Everybody's down on their knees
Listen like thieves
But who needs that
When it's all in your hands

Come over here
All you got is this moment
The twenty-first century's yesterday
You can care all you want
Everybody does yeah that's okay
So slide over here
And give me a moment
Your moves are so raw
I've got to let you know
I've got to let you know
You're one of my kind
I need you tonight
'Cause I'm not sleeping
There's something about you girl
That makes me sweat
How do you feel
I'm lonely
What do you think
Can't take it all
Whatcha gonna do
Gonna live my life

This is the power
Since time began
Every single hour
That we have known
And from each moment
All that is left
Sleep of the innocent
Just one desire
Shine like it does
Into every heart
Shine like it does
And if you're looking
You will find it

This is the story
Since time began
There will come a day
When we will know
Shine like it does
Into every heart
Shine like it does
And if you're looking
You will find it
Shine like it does
Into every heart
Shine like it does
And if you're looking
You will find it
You will find it

You must have heard
Of all the rules
Thick and thin
Teaches you hard
And all the tricks
Come back on you
Leave them behind
There's a better way
A better way
All along you must have known
Where your life was leading
The good and bad times
Where your life was leading
And I know you've been through hell
Yes I know all about it
And I've seen your cool white face
But I can't seem to care about it
Care about it
All along you must have known
Where your life was leading
The good and bad times
Where your life was leading

You must have heard
Of all the rules
Thick and thin
Teaches you hard
And all the tricks
Come back on you
Leave them behind
There's a better way
A better way
All along you must have known
Where your life was leading
The good and bad times
Where your life was leading
All along you must have known
Where your life was leading
The good and bad times
Where your life was leading

Don't you wonder
Is anyone that strong
It takes me under
Believing what I'm seeing
I get so tired of watching friends go down
The hungry tiger for all who never began
Biting bullets
Biting the clouds
Biting bullets
Biting the clouds
I saw the show
Shaking all the babies
Should I believe the parade of clever lies
Shadow of light in the shadow of death
There is no difference to all who never began
There was a time
There was a way to live
And it's no secret
That it won't come back again
I lose myself like anybody else
But I'm not so strong to make it in the end
I need some answers when the day comes crashing down
'Cause it's all over when there's no one to be found

I will believe you
If you say it's true
Girl you know I need you more than any word spoken
I've seen you before
Turn and walk away
You say you won't come back
It's just a game anyway
We are hoping
Yes and we're praying
This time
Will be the last time
That we will fight like this
We are always wanting
Things we cannot find
You know that we are always wasting time
You know I can forget
We have fought before
I've seen inside your heart
And I know it's breaking

Oh, I got so emotional
