I woke up this morning Wishing you were here Another cup of coffee And then you appeared
A crystal vision Shining through the rain Smiling through my window pane
In the morning traffic I turn on the radio And the song that’s playing Is one that we used to know
When we were dancing slowly Under the mirror ball You were singing to me I felt like we had it all
It was our adventure I won’t let it slip away Gonna make it like it was before this day
I will be your witness (That much I can do) That much I can do (I wanna tell the world) I just want to tell the world How much I’m missing you
I will be your witness (Don’t you know it’s true) Don’t you know it’s true (I wanna testify) I just want to testify How much I’m loving you
Did you ever notice Just what you mean to me You’re the piece of the puzzle That makes my world complete
I need your freedom I need your company Let me tell you how it’s going to be
I will be your witness (That much I can do) That much I can do (I wanna tell the world) I just want to tell the world How much I’m missing you
I’ll be your alibi tonight I’ll make everything all right I will be your defense When life makes no sense Baby you just wait and see It’s a crazy crazy world
Woke up this morning Wishing you were here Poured a cup of coffee And then you appeared
Such a great adventure I won’t let it slip away You know I need you every night and every day
I will be your witness (That much I can do) That much I can do (I wanna tell the world) I just want to tell the world How much I’m missing you
I will be your witness (Don’t you know it’s true) Don’t you know it’s true (I wanna testify) I just want to testify How much I’m loving you
I will be your witness (I will be your witness) What else can I do (What else can I do) I just want to tell the world How much I’m loving you
The lines are drawn in the sand across the caress of time The lines are drawn in the sand across the caress of time
There's a face in the glass Looking through the mirror At the maze of my past It was never clearer
On the distant horizon The sun approaches Better cover my eyes Better hide the roaches
In the best of my time There was something better And the quest of my mind Was to try and get her
Something simple and pure As the thoughts in my head Not the tears in the rain Over me she shed
We were almost there Still I was unaware
Here in the Brave New World's embrace I watch the parade begin Searching for one familiar face And I wonder where I fit in How will I know if there's a place For me in the Brave New World
To be calm in the eye Of the human storm In house full of dreams I am safe and warm
Looking back at a life Filled with warm embraces No regrets only memories Of smiling faces
We were almost there Now change is in the air
Until now I held the zone I ruled the world I called it home I never saw the down side
See the now see the Zen There is no division Through the eyes of a child There is perfect vision
And the best of our lives Resonate the hills And the sun's gonna shine And you know that I will...

How can I sleep tonight? When I know that tomorrow I'll be miles away, And how can I leave if I know when I kiss you goodbye, Baby you'll cry
Where do I find the words? To convince you that there's a secret part of me, That dies every time I must pack up and walk out the door, When I'm wanting you more
So while there's still time, Know that I love you, Baby please hold me tight, Girl while there's still time
If I could stop the dawn, Make the moon and the stars shine on forever more, And never again have to say how much I'm missing you, But what can I do?
So while there's still time, Say that you love me, Baby please hold me tight, Girl while there's still time
If I should go, if I should go, There's a chance I could lose, The love of my life, the love of my life, Baby please don't make me choose
Believe me Trust me Let me inside
And while there's still time, Forget about tomorrow, Baby please let's not fight, Not while there's still time While there's still time While there's still time While there's still time Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh...
You can't be still You're such a nervous fellow Like a yo-yo Up and down
Take this little pill And life will be so mellow You'll feel the world Start slowing down around
Who's that rushing out the door Who's not taking any more Who's been down this road before Without you
You tell me who's number one Who's not here Who's having fun Who's the one who cares this much About you
You won't feel the pain You won't mind the rain You can be happy all the time All the time One dose twice a day The world will go away You'll be smiling through The worst of times Who's that rushing out the door Who's not taking any more Who's been down this road before Without you
You tell me who's number one Who's not here Who's having fun Who's the one Who knows so much about you
I believe I belive There's something more I believe it's just beyond the door I believe there's something more I believe it's just Beyond the door I believe there's something Better out there
Wanna leave this world So far behind I can see your face there In my mind I believe there's something Better our there
Who's that rushing Who's not taking Who's been down this You tell me who's Who's not here who's Who's the one who
I don't know where I found you I don't know where you been All I know is you got me In the shape I'm in
You're the message in the bottle You're the deluxe model I haven't been so affected Since I don't know when
Yeah (yeah), Whoa yeah (whoa yeah) You're the best new face In the human race
(I said) Yeah, Whoa yeah You're the best new face In the human race
You look so real When you ask me to feel Yeah you're so damn convincing Digging in your heels
If your persuasion attack Leaves me flat on my back You can ride me off to ruin While the whole world cracks
(Said) Yeah (yeah), Whoa yeah (whoa yeah) You're the best new face In the human race
(I said) Yeah, Whoa yeah You're the best new face In the human race
Speak of the devil And look who appears He's cranking up the level In between your ears But he's so frustrated Cause he can't get a rise Out of someone who's reflecting Heaven in their eyes
I see heaven in your eyes.
(You look so good)
Yeah (yeah), Whoa yeah (whoa yeah) You're the best new face In the human race
(I said) Yeah, Whoa yeah You're the best new face In the human race
(Said) Yeah (yeah), Whoa yeah (yeah, whoa yeah) You're the best new face In the human race
Yeah, Whoa yeah (Oh yeah) You're the best new face In the human race (Best new face).
There must be something out there, There must be something real Well this mystery's a nightmare And I don't know what to feel Well I heard you had a hell of a time there I guess it chilled you down to the bone If there's one thing I can tell you It'll never leave you less than alone
In spite of everything you told me In spite of everything I've heard There's nothing here that I call holy Not a solitary word Could you tell me what it's like on the outside Were you really lost and out of control Were you reaching for your freedom When the gatekeeper called for the toll
Oh-oh, what have they done to you Where, where have you gone Oh-oh, I wanna run to you In spite of what you're saying I still can't let you go
Well they say you witnessed some kind of lefe there Was it something real or nothing at all Or is your imagination all that's there to catch you If you start to fall
Oh-oh, what have they done to you Where, where have you gone Oh-oh I wanna run to you In spite of what you're saying I still can't let you go
Oh-oh, what have they done to you Where, where have you gone Oh-oh I wanna run to you In spite of what you're saying I still can't let you go
Hell nobody's perfect One hundred percent No saint, no Pope, no King no Queen No President
But our hunger for heroes Has made us blind We seek salvation From the cup of human kind
But every time we hear the voice Of some new Abraham We wake too late to realize It was just another scam
Fallen angel, fallen angel Well I guess you were no angel after all Fallen angel, fallen angel You always take us with you when you fall
I said nobody's perfect From head to toe Not Einstein or Elvis or Lenin or Marx Or Marilyn Monroe
Cause it's mostly illusion In flesh and bone An image, a look, a song or a book That we all claim for our own
But even in the best of us There lies beneath the skin The tragic flaw in nature's law That's bound to do us in
Fallen angel, fallen angel Well I guess you were no angel after all Fallen angel, fallen angel You always take us with you when you fall
Pretty faces up on the silver screen Flawless bodies on covers of magazines They all look perfect to us So rich and cool and bored But hold the presses boys They've checked into Betty Ford
Turns out nobody's perfect From "A" to "Z" It's best to follow your heart Then to follow me Cause I'm only a singer Playin' a song And I've just been making it up As I went along
See I met a man who told me once "Sincerity's the key And once you learn to fake it Son you're gonna be home free"
Fallen angel, fallen angel Well I guess you were no angel after all Fallen angel, fallen angel You always take us with you when you fall
It's coming on like a fever Burning deep inside of your brain Have you become a believer Have you gone a little insane
Tonight your life is a party Let the celebration begin Turn on the lights and let's start it Find out what condition your condition is in
Check in Check out No one needs to know What you're thinking about In the here In the now You can take it in While you're working it out 'Cause you're into it When you're out of it Everything is cool in the land Of the brave new world
Hail to the new corporation Fulfilling every need and desire Come take a mental vacation The reservation never expires
I say we make it a holiday Bigger than the 4th of July Declare a new Independance Day Yeah there's nothing to it You can do it if you try
Time is always on our side Love is there to be our guide We are spirits pure and free And all our dreams are meant to be Realized
But if we were granted just one minute To choose a dream and stay there in it How could we decide?
We are a sea of tranquility We are the new golden age History is a mystery We will start it over on A blank new page
Check in Check out No one needs to know What you're thinking about In the here In the now You can take it in While you're working it out 'Cause you're into it When you're out of it Everything is cool in the land Of the brave new world
Everybody will be watching Just to see what can you do They'll be waiting, anticipating For the genius to come through So raise the bar up A little higher They expect so much of you Feel the madness accelerating Cause you feel the same way too
Great, Great, Great Expectations
Everybody's masturbating Wondering what you're gonna do And all the doctors are contemplating Can the smart ass still pull through Mister big shot
With all the answers One more time through the hoop for you Light a fire To the whole thing Feel the flame as you go through
Great, Great, Great Expectations
Did you think that your ambition Would ever end up in remission Did ya Now did ya Did you think your sacrifices Would turn your dreams into your vices Now did ya How could ya
All the cynics & the ciphers Make you question what you do So turn your amp up a little louder To drown out that void in you While the mantra keeps repeating There are dreams you must pursue If you just try a little harder There ain't nothing you can't do
Sittin' here on terra firma It's the kind of place we were meant to be Out here kinda lost in space now Pondering life's mysteries All of minkind worship at the altar Of old mythology But the genie's out of the bottle Collision course with eternity
Young children playing in the chat room With the freaks and the satellites Upload the nearset planet Burnin' out at the speed of light Better living for the masses With the new technology But some fool went and pushed the button He didn't get an apology
Feeling good is a new sensation Panacea for the Prozac nation
Heavy, heavy water Won't wash away the sins of the father
Sacred cow sizzling in the fire As we all go up in flames With millions of true believers And their unfamiliar names On the road to good intentions Blown to hell by our own inventions Heavy, heavy water Won't wash away the sins of the father Unholy, holy water Leading us like lambs to the...
Custom made for the self reliant Lemonade for the thirsty giant
Heavy, heavy water Won't wash away the sins of the father Unholy, holy water Leading us like lambs to the (slaughter)
They want you to believe The unbelievable They say you should accept The unacceptable Forget your common sense It isn't sensible Good times for fools and dreamers
Watch 'em all deny The undeniable See how they refute The unrefutable They're ready to defend The indefensible High times for lawyer schemers
They say we must forgive The forgivable They want us to respect The unrespectable The pious and the hip So hypocritical High crimes and misdemeanors
Hip hop hip hop-cracy hip hop Hip hop hip hop-cracy hip hop Hip hop hip hop-cracy hip hop
See how they explain The inexplicable Watch 'em debate The undebatable Apparently a lie Is never liable Prime time for talk show screamers
They say we constitute The Constitutional With justice here for all So justifiable I'm tryin' not to laugh But man it's laughable High crimes and misdemeanors
Hip hop hip hop-cracy hip hop Hip hop hip hop-cracy hip hop Hip hop hip hop-cracy hip hop Hip hop hip hop-cracy hip hop Hip hop hip hop-cracy hip hop
And so Today we find They've changed their minds They've switched their points of view
Oh what tangled webs they weave When their beliefs ain't really What they believe
They're trying to divide The indivisible Because they think we're fools So foolable I'm tryin' not to laugh But man it's laughable Boom times for Wall Street dreamers They want you to believe The unbelievable They say we should accept The unacceptable The pious and the hip So hypocritical High crimes and misdemeanors
High crimes and misdemeanors High crimes and misdemeanors
Hip hop hip hop-cracy hip hop Hip hop hip hop-cracy hip hop Hip hop hip hop-cracy hip hop Hip
There was a time When we were children Blue skies would shine And all was forgiven And there were heroes to guide us And we had family beside us And there were dreams to believe in Each and every day
And I was your friend Father and brother And you were my wife Mistress and mother And through the good times and bad times We shared the love of a lifetime Oh what a shame and a damn crime For it all to end
So goodbye to Roseland How I wish I could stay To live in the memory Of your sweet sweet day But every road that we travel, has an end And so the time now has come to say Farewell old friend
Well goodbye to Roseland How I want you to know Just how much I miss you So I got to let go But all the love that you gave me will remain And every tear that I've cried has not been shed in vain
No fear No pain Never any need to worry again More new cures No more war We're better off now than we were before And the sun will always shine You never shed a tear again In the brave new world You never shed a tear again In the brave new world
Here in the brave new world's embrace I watch the parade begin How will I know if there's a place For me in the brave new world
Heavy, heavy water Won't wash away the sins of the father
Who's that walking out the door Who can't take it any more Who's walking that path will fall Forever
(Heavy) You tell me who's number one (Heavy water) Who's not here who's having fun (Won't wash away the sins of the father) Who's that knocking on the door Who's not taking any more Who's been down that road before Without you
Give me a job give me security Give me a chance to survive I'm just a poor soul in the unemployment line My God I'm hardly alive My mother 'n father, my wife and my friends You've seen them laugh in my face But I've got the power and I've got the will I'm not a charity case
I'll take those long nights, impossible odds Keeping my eye on the keyhole If it takes all that to be just what I am Well I'm gonna be a blue collar man
Make me an offer that I can't refuse Make me respectable man This is my last time in the unemployment line So like it or not
I'll take those long night, impossible odds Keeping my back to the wall If it takes all night to be just who I am Well I'm gonna be a blue collar man
Keeping my mind on a better life Where happiness is only a heartbeat away Paradise can it be all I heard it was I close my eyes and maybe I'm already there (repeat chorus)
Hold on tightly to your innocence And don't you let go Until you know it's gonna be your way
Through the tangle and the bramble There's a thread that runs through And it's true There's no need to be afraid
Smiling ear to ear It's something in the atmosphere Every star above reflecting in your sea of love Is it just a dream Or are things as they really seem Somebody help me make the call
You could be the light That shines so bright You show the way to go And if it's so Don't be too surprised
Just give yourself a chance And take a glance Around to see the glow Burning in my eyes
Smiling ear to ear It's something in the atmosphere Every star above reflecting in your sea of love This is not a dream It's just the way it's always been You've got to rise above it all
(CHORUS I) Somewhere down the road that we follow We'll be one with everything I know as soon as tomorrow We could be arriving
(First Keyboard Solo)
(CHORUS II) Somewhere down the road that we follow We'll be one with everything I know as soon as tomorrow We could be arriving And in my dreams I'm there by your side Learning to fly again...
The world we see, (----world we see and hear) Is a mystery, (----mystery but we) But we hold the key, (-------hold the key to the door) If we have the faith to live, (-----have the faith...) And believe... (...anymore)

You see the world thru your cynical eyes You're a troubled young man I can see You've got it all in the palm of your hand But your hand's wet with a sweat And you head needs a rest
And you're fooling yourself If you don't believe it You're kidding yourself If you don't believe it
Why must you be such an angry young man When your future looks quite bright to me And how can there be such a sinister plan That could hide such a lamb Such a caring young man
And you're fooling yourself If you don't believe it You're killing yourself If you don't believe it
Get up, get up, get back on your feet You're the one they can't beat And you know it Come on, come on let's see what you've got Just take your best shot and don't blow it, oh
