You turn me on, you lift me up
And like the sweetest cup I'd share with you You lift me up, don't you ever stop, I'm here with you Now it's all or nothing 'Cause you say you'll follow through You follow me, and I, I, I follow you What you gonna do when things go wrong? What you gonna do when it all cracks up? What you gonna do when the Love burns down? What you gonna do when the flames go up? Who is gonna come and turn the tide? What's it gonna take to make a dream survive? Who's got the touch to calm the storm inside? Who's gonna save you? Alive and Kicking Stay until your love is, Alive and Kicking Stay until your love is, until your love is, Alive Oh you lift me up to the crucial top, so I can see Oh you lead me on, till the feelings come And the lights that shine on But if that don't mean nothing Like if someday it should fall through You'll take me home where the magic's from And I'll be with you What you gonna do when things go wrong? What you gonna do when it all cracks up? What you gonna do when the Love burns down? What you gonna do when the flames go up? Who is gonna come and turn the tide? What's it gonna take to make a dream survive? Who's got the touch to calm the storm inside? Don't say goodbye Don't say goodbye In the final seconds who's gonna save you? Oh, Alive and Kicking Stay until your love is, love is, Alive and Kicking Oh, Alive and Kicking Stay until your love is, love is, Alive and Kicking |

Is this the age of the thunder and rage
Can you feel the ground move 'round your feet If you take one step closer, it'll lead to another The crossroad above is where we meet I shout out for shelter, I need you for something The whole world is out, they're all on the street Control yourself, love is all you need Control yourself, in your eyes Sanctify yourself, sanctify Be apart of me, sanctify Sanctify yourself, sanctify Sanctify yourself, set yourself free In pictures of living, in bloodshot a vision Sweet miracles and strange circumstances I see the sun up, the showdown, the cool winds that blow down On the big beat that life-long romance is You've got a gun in your hand, you're making self plans Stay with me all through the night Control yourself, love is all you need Control yourself, open up your heart Sanctify yourself, sanctify Be apart of me, sanctify Sanctify yourself, sanctify Sanctify yourself, set yourself free You can't stop the world for a boy or a girl Sweet victims of poor circumstances But you can pour back the love, sweeping down from above Giving hope and making more chances Well, I hope and I pray that maybe someday You'll come back down here and show me the way Control yourself, love is all you need Control yourself, open up your heart Open up your heart Sanctify yourself, sanctify Sanctify yourself, sanctify Sanctify yourself, set yourself free |

When my love said to me
Meet me down by the gallow tree For it's sad news I bring About this old town and all that it's offering Some say troubles abound Some day soon they're gonna pull the old town down One day we'll return here, When the Belfast Child sings again Brothers sisters where are you now As I look for you right through the crowd All my life here I've spent With my faith in God the Church and the Government But there's sadness abound Some day soon they're gonna pull the old town down One day we'll return here, When the Belfast Child sings again When the Belfast Child sings again Some come back Billy, won't you come on home Come back Mary, you've been away so long The streets are empty, and your mother's gone The girls are crying, it's been oh so long And your father's calling, come on home Won't you come on home, won't you come on home ome back people, you've been gone a while And the war is raging, in the Emerald Isle That's flesh and blood man, that's flesh and blood All the girls are crying but all's not lost The streets are empty, the streets are cold Won't you come on home, won't you come on home The streets are empty Life goes on One day we'll return here When the Belfast Child sings again When the Belfast Child sings again |

All the things she said Running through my head All the things she said All the things she said Running through my head This is not enough I'm in serious s--t, I feel totally lost If I'm asking for help it's only because Being with you has opened my eyes Could I ever believe such a perfect surprise? I keep asking myself, wondering how I keep closing my eyes but I can't block you out Wanna fly to a place where it's just you and me Nobody else so we can be free All the things she said All the things she said Running through my head All the things she said All the things she said Running through my head This is not enough This is not enough All the things she said All the things she said And I'm all mixed up, feeling cornered and rushed They say it's my fault but I want her so much Wanna fly her away where the sun and rain Come in over my face, wash away all the shame When they stop and stare - don't worry me ‘Cause I'm feeling for her what she's feeling for me I can try to pretend, I can try to forget But it's driving me mad, going out of my head Mother looking at me Tell me what do you see? Yes, I've lost my mind Daddy looking at me Will I ever be free? Have I crossed the line? |

Cities, buildings falling down
Satellites come crashing down I see them falling out the skies like eagles All mirrored glass and shattered egos But in a corner of the world we'd meet to laugh and drink and plan our sequels 'Cause in the alleyways and bars downtown They're singing up from here to there can we go This city comes alive at night, see these city walls are heaving And if these old city walls should crash, amid the rubble you'd find us breathing Come say what you see in me 'Cause boy, I believe in you Come say what you're seeing All gone just ghost dancing, going all the way through You talk about the Lebanon You tell me 'bout the Dawn in Eden You talk about South Africa I tell you about the Irish children You say one more Polish Knight could come and blow away the doors to Freedom And if Mother Ethiopia could blow away the tears that we see run O blow them away, Blow, blow away We Will blow them away O blow, blow away Blow, blow away Blow, blow away Come say what you see in me 'Cause boy, I believe in you Come say what you're seeing They're all gone just ghost dancing, going all the way through You know I believe in you Oh yes I believe, you know I believe in you You say you believe I believe, I believe, going all the way through, yeah Come take me back home, come on and take me away Ghost Dancing The car pulled up, the girl she jumped in The boy he wore a medal that was shining from his skin With the windows pulled up, their radio tuned in She's hitting from the stars, he's hitting for the moon She said, one last kiss while you look across the Land Move it into overdrive and take me by my hand When the car broke, the rebels saw smoke and they all went to heaven in a stupid fantasy, go Take me away |

A bird that's lost at sea The words that whisper in the silent film Say 'tomorrows gone for me' All night lying with your head in my hands And I search for reasons why But if I can't get to it - I can't get through it All that's gone now - all that's... The tears of a guy Is all I ever see The tears of a guy So many rivers run to me Wake up dreaming with the sun in my eyes Hear me screaming, don't ask why Some strange music from some sweet soul song Says I can't feel it - I can't try Time goes - and the fountain still flows I'll be watching through fortunate eyes But I can't get cured - I must endure All that's gone now - all that's... The tears of a guy Is all I ever see The tears of a guy So many rivers run to me Drift by the walls - this way Babylon - in your eyes Drift by the walls - this way Babylon - in your eyes So many rivers run through me (And we will walk) Oh little angel It's all I ever see (And we will rise) So many rivers run to me (And we will walk) Oh my little angels In your eyes So many rivers run through me In your eyes |

I called you last night
But I got no reply There's something not right By the look in your eye Makes me laugh To walk the path So many pass this way It's so unreal I can't help but feel I gotta wake you from this daze Listen to a world of your own You've got to leave me alone Sweet mother calling up now Don't want to speak to no fool She say I got to look out For I've got to find the jewels I have some precious momements Into the night I stare To dream of something special Ooh Another sad affair When all your trust Turns to dust And you're lost for words to say You've got so much more to see before You turn to walk away Listen to a world of your own You've got to leave me alone. Ooh another sad affair Another sad affair Ooh another sad affair Another sad affair It makes me laugh to walk this path So many pass this way It's so unreal I can't help but feel I gotta wake you from this daze Listen... |

You say to me things should soon be alright
I get so scared if I don't get out at night The questions real The answer so false I just can't cope no more with this rate of pulse I lost my past I gave it away I feel so insecure I couldn't take another day Please be kind Don't call me no wreck My nerves are very live you know But soon they're going to break No Oh No Another Murder Story No Oh No Another Murder Story So don't come too close I can't stand the heat I get nightmares of places people go to meet It's so apparent when I walk in the door That I'm all alone There's no one home and no one wants me anymore So claustrophobic if I stand I one place This state of mind I'm in is positively quite a disgrace The children from the street call out my name "Hey You" It's all so mutual but you know I just don't want to share no fame No Oh No Another Murder Story No Oh No Another Murder Story No Oh No Murder Story No Oh No No Oh No |

Cities, buildings falling down
Satellites come crashing down I see them falling out the skies like eagles All mirrored glass and shattered egos But in a corner of the world we'd meet to laugh and drink and plan our sequels 'Cause in the alleyways and bars downtown They're singing up from here to there can we go This city comes alive at night, see these city walls are heaving And if these old city walls should crash, amid the rubble you'd find us breathing Come say what you see in me 'Cause boy, I believe in you Come say what you're seeing All gone just ghost dancing, going all the way through You talk about the Lebanon You tell me 'bout the Dawn in Eden You talk about South Africa I tell you about the Irish children You say one more Polish Knight could come and blow away the doors to Freedom And if Mother Ethiopia could blow away the tears that we see run O blow them away, Blow, blow away We Will blow them away O blow, blow away Blow, blow away Blow, blow away Come say what you see in me 'Cause boy, I believe in you Come say what you're seeing They're all gone just ghost dancing, going all the way through You know I believe in you Oh yes I believe, you know I believe in you You say you believe I believe, I believe, going all the way through, yeah Come take me back home, come on and take me away Ghost Dancing The car pulled up, the girl she jumped in The boy he wore a medal that was shining from his skin With the windows pulled up, their radio tuned in She's hitting from the stars, he's hitting for the moon She said, one last kiss while you look across the Land Move it into overdrive and take me by my hand When the car broke, the rebels saw smoke and they all went to heaven in a stupid fantasy, go Take me away |

So where did you go?
Where do you go in the Big Sleep Going out in the Deep Sleep Is where you're wandering now So where did you go now When you are in the Big Sleep Drifting in wildlife And still you're wandering now We were on the top and the world was spinning We were only young in the whirlpool of warning Communication lost in the thundering rain style A shelter from the storm in the early beginning Going out in the Big Sleep, out in the Big Sleep Could have been years, you know it could have been years Or only seconds ago Big Sleep, Deep Sleep Where are you now? Now that you're in Big Sleep Valuable friend They saw you leaving this way We were on the top and the world was spinning We were only young in the whirlpool of warning Communication lost in the thundering rain style A shelter from the storm in the early beginning Where did you go? Immaculate friend For a lifetime I'm grateful And it's only a second away Big Sleep, Deep Sleep Forevermore If only you could see me If only you could see me If only. you could see Forever Coming home in the Big Sleep coming home. |

Somebody's screaming out
Somebody's knocking out Somebody's calling out, come hear it again Street bells are ringing out Young girls are singing out Boys are building up to be men You've got the love Then here comes the blood last The father, the mother, the sister, the chain Sweet inspirations Or a cold hearted nations baby The young man, the brothers, the killers explain Oh Jungleland They call you home sweet home You make me feel so sad, to leave here all alone But there is a kid called Hope And he's holding out his hand He sees the Northern Lights above this highrise land Oh Jungleland Oh Jungleland Oh Jungleland In the city, get out the city pretty quick I've got a prayer, I wanna sing it to you It says, may little children forget the wild things But no one listens cause nobody cares When you've got the love drugs And you've got the long nights You got the heartbeat that spirals to heaven Here comes summer, here comes violence Over your shoulder the soul boy explains Oh Jungleland They call you home sweet home You make me feel so sad, to leave here all alone But there is a kid called Hope And he's holding out his hand He sees the Northern Lights above the highrise land But blood is thicker than water But blood is sweeter than Holy Lands Unto the Devil a daughter When my love sings it's an angel song she sings it Don't look back, never look back Don't look back, never look back Oh Jungleland |

Is this the age of the thunder and rage
Can you feel the ground move 'round your feet If you take one step closer, it'll lead to another The crossroad above is where we meet I shout out for shelter, I need you for something The whole world is out, they're all on the street Control yourself, love is all you need Control yourself, in your eyes Sanctify yourself, sanctify Be apart of me, sanctify Sanctify yourself, sanctify Sanctify yourself, set yourself free In pictures of living, in bloodshot a vision Sweet miracles and strange circumstances I see the sun up, the showdown, the cool winds that blow down On the big beat that life-long romance is You've got a gun in your hand, you're making self plans Stay with me all through the night Control yourself, love is all you need Control yourself, open up your heart Sanctify yourself, sanctify Be apart of me, sanctify Sanctify yourself, sanctify Sanctify yourself, set yourself free You can't stop the world for a boy or a girl Sweet victims of poor circumstances But you can pour back the love, sweeping down from above Giving hope and making more chances Well, I hope and I pray that maybe someday You'll come back down here and show me the way Control yourself, love is all you need Control yourself, open up your heart Open up your heart Sanctify yourself, sanctify Sanctify yourself, sanctify Sanctify yourself, set yourself free |

I get so scared if I don't get out at night The questions real The answer so false I just can't cope no more with this rate of pulse I lost my past I gave it away I feel so insecure I couldn't take another day Please be kind Don't call me no wreck My nerves are very live you know But soon they're going to break No Oh No Another Murder Story No Oh No Another Murder Story So don't come too close I can't stand the heat I get nightmares of places people go to meet It's so apparent when I walk in the door That I'm all alone There's no one home and no one wants me anymore So claustrophobic if I stand I one place This state of mind I'm in is positively quite a disgrace The children from the street call out my name "Hey You" It's all so mutual but you know I just don't want to share no fame No Oh No Another Murder Story No Oh No Another Murder Story No Oh No Murder Story No Oh No No Oh No |

You can come inside
Come into the Naked Eye My only world falls in again I see your face fall in again It's so dark I don't know your name It's so dark And I don't know your name Only mirrors lie only mirrors lie now Only mirrors lie only mirrors lie now Through the needle's eye Through the needle's eye now Only mirrors lie Lie lie You can come inside Come into the naked eye Naked Naked I feel so high Going up on the wall And you're down below me Look all around look all around now Look all around look all around now Only mirrors lie only mirrors lie now Only mirrors lie only mirrors lie now Through the needle's eye Through the needle's eye now Only mirrors lie Lie lie You can come inside Come into the naked eye Naked Naked Just wanted a special view Just me and you Just just just the two of us Just two of us Going up on the wall Up on the wall Going up on the wall Up on the wall Naked Eye Naked Eye What do you see And what's there to learn Reading your books Third diagram Someone's in the room down below Someone someone Someone below Insects Cherries To the cherries On the wall Spider |

And now the sound of time is getting fast
It's getting late Don't know if I can take much more The way you talk I often wondered If I heard the words somewhere Someplace before I got so nervous when I called And found that lately You had gone and changed your name But I've got something on my mind I want you here I want you now You better explain Is it true you're running round Now is it true they're calling you The Chelsea Girl Is it true you're running round Now is it true they're calling you The Chelsea Girl Your best friend never calls you up But you don't mind 'Cause lately things are all the same Ain't it strange how peope always seem To know your face But just don't know your name Well I don't care there's no-one there That even turn around and say get out of this place Last night I saw a shooting star When morning comes She hides away A real disgrace Is it true you're running round Now is it true they're calling you The Chelsea Girl Is it true you're running round Now is it true they're calling you The Chelsea Girl Oh Chelsea Girl You got me caught up in a whirl I want you here now Chelsea Girl |

In passage of time
To a cigarette burn In the book that I read To the sentence I learn Up and down Going round Going round 'till we drown again I'm gonna set myself up I'm gonna up to the top Up to the top To the top I'm going down to the ground Going round Till we drown Going round till we drown again Factory Imitation of life Factory We all go out to lunch A certain raion we know Has left us unaware Someone else has taken leave Someone who did care Elevators just don't crash The answer lies within Elevators Elevators Answer lies within To the glittering prize To the fool in the sky I've got a jewel in my eye I'm going up Coming down Going round Till we drown Going round till we drown again To the centre of the man Because he had a plan He had a plan to escape But now we've got it on tape Going up Coming down Going around Going round till we drown again Factory Imitation of life Factory We all go out to lunch A certain raion we know Has left us unaware Someone else has taken leave Someone who did care Elevators just don't crash The answer lies within Elevators Elevators Answer lies within Factory Going out to lunch Factory Going out to lunch |

Real to real
Fact to fact Nothing moving happening Artifact The waiting room Waits Limbo can burn But the original sin The incentive to learn Fly over land Where no hearts can beat The metal rain pouring Raining Raining Raining down on me Hole in my head Where the creature has crawled And It's burning and turning Out of control Real to real Fact to fact Nothing moving happening Artifact I in this land Sand in the eye So here we go The happy man dies Brave little world Well you cry once again Remodel life Remake and remodel Remodel men Protection Protection The sound of machines Image is burning As they grind to a halt Crying and crying The sound of the shells Tears turn to salt Cry and I cry Just one more illusion I cry just for you There's a hole in my head Wher the voices came through Fly over land Waiting and waiting Where no hears can beat Machinery's burning The metal rains pour Pour Raining Raining down on me Premonition |

And you
Yes you speak to me tonight And you say so, say so That once upon a time When love, love was a white dove And hope, long live hope, could spin the whole world 'round I'm talking east to west I'm talking lost and found Get up to the mountain top I'm going to drop unto the ground That's once upon a time You raise me up when I know you're around But God only knows, what God only knows You lift me up and you spin me around God only knows, but God only knows That's time Time looked around herself Time got excited That's when we all got started Still I hear you, yes still you speak to me tonight You say then how come out of love, is all this cruelty arising? Well I said, look, well will you look at you, you're frightened I see that you smile through weariness But there is not much else enlightened Well, that's a question down to time You life me up when I know you're around God only knows, God only knows Still you raise me up when I know you're around God only knows, God only knows That's time |

All the things she said
그녀가 말했던 모든 것들이 All the things she said 그녀가 말했던 모든 것들이 Running through my head 머리를 스친다. All the things she said 그녀가 말했던 모든 것들이 All the things she said 그녀가 말했던 모든 것들이 Running through my head 머리를 스친다. This is not enough 이걸론 부족해. I'm in serious s--t, I feel totally lost 난 굉장히 심각해. 완전히 길을 잃은거 같아. If I'm asking for help it's only because 단지 내가 도움을 요청하고 있기 때문에 Being with you has opened my eyes 너와 함께 있으면서 나는 눈을 떴어 Could I ever believe such a perfect surprise? 내가 그런 기적을 믿을 수 있을까? I keep asking myself, 나 자신에게 계속해서 묻고 있어, wondering how I keep closing my eyes 내가 얼마나 눈을 감고 있을 수 있을지. but I can't block you out 하지만 너를 떨쳐낼 수 없어. Wanna fly to a place where it's just you and me 너와 나만이 있는 곳으로 날아가고 싶어 Nobody else so we can be free 다른 누구도 없는,우리가 자유로울 수 있는 곳으로. All the things she said 그녀가 말했던 모든 것들이 All the things she said 그녀가 말했던 모든 것들이 Running through my head 머리를 스친다. All the things she said 그녀가 말했던 모든 것들이 All the things she said 그녀가 말했던 모든 것들이 Running through my head 머리를 스친다. This is not enough 이걸론 부족해. This is not enough 이걸론 부족해. All the things she said 그녀가 말했던 모든 것들이 All the things she said 그녀가 말했던 모든 것들이 And I'm all mixed up, feeling cornered and rushed 나는 모두 뒤섞어지고,궁지에 몰린채 무서운 기세로 달려드는걸 느껴. They say it's my fault but I want her so much 나는 그녀를 너무나 원하지만 그들은 그걸 내 잘못이라고 말해. Wanna fly her away where the sun and rain 그녀를 날려 보내고 싶어 Come in over my face, wash away all the shame 햇빛과 비가 얼굴에 쏟아져, 모든 수치심을 씻어버리는 곳으로 When they stop and stare - don't worry me 그들이 멈춰서 뚫어져라 응시할때 - 나를 불안하게 하지말아줘 ꡐCause I'm feeling for her what she's feeling for me 그녀가 나를 불쌍하게 여기고 내가 그녀를 가엾게 느끼도록 만들잖아. I can try to pretend, I can try to forget 가장하려고 할 수도 있고 잊으려 할 수도 있어. But it's driving me mad, going out of my head 하지만 그러면 난 미쳐버리고 말꺼야. Mother looking at me 나를 보고 있는 엄마.. Tell me what do you see? 내가 어떤 거 같아? Yes, I've lost my mind 그래요. 난 완전히 빠졌어요. Daddy looking at me 나를 보고 있는 아빠.. Will I ever be free? 내가 언젠가 자유로워질 수 있을까요..? Have I crossed the line? 내가 선을 넘은건가요..? |

Cities, buildings falling down
Satellites come crashing down I see them falling out the skies like eagles All mirrored glass and shattered egos But in a corner of the world we'd meet to laugh and drink and plan our sequels 'Cause in the alleyways and bars downtown They're singing up from here to there can we go This city comes alive at night, see these city walls are heaving And if these old city walls should crash, amid the rubble you'd find us breathing Come say what you see in me 'Cause boy, I believe in you Come say what you're seeing All gone just ghost dancing, going all the way through You talk about the Lebanon You tell me 'bout the Dawn in Eden You talk about South Africa I tell you about the Irish children You say one more Polish Knight could come and blow away the doors to Freedom And if Mother Ethiopia could blow away the tears that we see run O blow them away, Blow, blow away We Will blow them away O blow, blow away Blow, blow away Blow, blow away Come say what you see in me 'Cause boy, I believe in you Come say what you're seeing They're all gone just ghost dancing, going all the way through You know I believe in you Oh yes I believe, you know I believe in you You say you believe I believe, I believe, going all the way through, yeah Come take me back home, come on and take me away Ghost Dancing The car pulled up, the girl she jumped in The boy he wore a medal that was shining from his skin With the windows pulled up, their radio tuned in She's hitting from the stars, he's hitting for the moon She said, one last kiss while you look across the Land Move it into overdrive and take me by my hand When the car broke, the rebels saw smoke and they all went to heaven in a stupid fantasy, go Take me away |

And like the sweetest cup I'd share with you You lift me up, don't you ever stop, I'm here with you Now it's all or nothing 'Cause you say you'll follow through You follow me, and I, I, I follow you What you gonna do when things go wrong? What you gonna do when it all cracks up? What you gonna do when the Love burns down? What you gonna do when the flames go up? Who is gonna come and turn the tide? What's it gonna take to make a dream survive? Who's got the touch to calm the storm inside? Who's gonna save you? Alive and Kicking Stay until your love is, Alive and Kicking Stay until your love is, until your love is, Alive Oh you lift me up to the crucial top, so I can see Oh you lead me on, till the feelings come And the lights that shine on But if that don't mean nothing Like if someday it should fall through You'll take me home where the magic's from And I'll be with you What you gonna do when things go wrong? What you gonna do when it all cracks up? What you gonna do when the Love burns down? What you gonna do when the flames go up? Who is gonna come and turn the tide? What's it gonna take to make a dream survive? Who's got the touch to calm the storm inside? Don't say goodbye Don't say goodbye In the final seconds who's gonna save you?

Somebody's screaming out
Somebody's knocking out Somebody's calling out, come hear it again Street bells are ringing out Young girls are singing out Boys are building up to be men You've got the love Then here comes the blood last The father, the mother, the sister, the chain Sweet inspirations Or a cold hearted nations baby The young man, the brothers, the killers explain Oh Jungleland They call you home sweet home You make me feel so sad, to leave here all alone But there is a kid called Hope And he's holding out his hand He sees the Northern Lights above this highrise land Oh Jungleland Oh Jungleland Oh Jungleland In the city, get out the city pretty quick I've got a prayer, I wanna sing it to you It says, may little children forget the wild things But no one listens cause nobody cares When you've got the love drugs And you've got the long nights You got the heartbeat that spirals to heaven Here comes summer, here comes violence Over your shoulder the soul boy explains Oh Jungleland They call you home sweet home You make me feel so sad, to leave here all alone But there is a kid called Hope And he's holding out his hand He sees the Northern Lights above the highrise land But blood is thicker than water But blood is sweeter than Holy Lands Unto the Devil a daughter When my love sings it's an angel song she sings it Don't look back, never look back Don't look back, never look back Oh Jungleland |

Footsteps, I can hear footsteps in the hall
I hear footsteps, seems like I've been through this before Some time has come now, some time has passed But things still look the same Is heaven all above, and paradise below And the questions still remain Ooh, can we see you? Ooh, are we near you? How could you disappear out of here? I wish for something, I wish you were here Footsteps, I can hear footsteps in the hall I hear footsteps, it seems like I've been through this before Well we loved you then, I guess we always will We love you still from here Birds of a feather always stay together And never separate, no fear Ooh, can we see you? Ooh, are we near you? How could you disappear out of here? I wish for something, I wish for something I wish you were here, I wish you were here I wish you well Footsteps, I can hear footsteps in the hall I hear footsteps, seems like I've been through this before If all the world was turning blue and gold Like through your eyes so clear The time has come to celebrate our past And crystalize this sphere Ooh, can we see you? Ooh, are we near you? How can you disappear out of here? I wish for something Ooh, can we see you? Ooh, are we near you? How can you disappear out of here? I wish for something I wish you were here, I wish you were here I wish you well There will come a day Oh some day our day will come Our day will come, our day will come |

Is this the age of the thunder and rage
Can you feel the ground move 'round your feet If you take one step closer, it'll lead to another The crossroad above is where we meet I shout out for shelter, I need you for something The whole world is out, they're all on the street Control yourself, love is all you need Control yourself, in your eyes Sanctify yourself, sanctify Be apart of me, sanctify Sanctify yourself, sanctify Sanctify yourself, set yourself free In pictures of living, in bloodshot a vision Sweet miracles and strange circumstances I see the sun up, the showdown, the cool winds that blow down On the big beat that life-long romance is You've got a gun in your hand, you're making self plans Stay with me all through the night Control yourself, love is all you need Control yourself, open up your heart Sanctify yourself, sanctify Be apart of me, sanctify Sanctify yourself, sanctify Sanctify yourself, set yourself free You can't stop the world for a boy or a girl Sweet victims of poor circumstances But you can pour back the love, sweeping down from above Giving hope and making more chances Well, I hope and I pray that maybe someday You'll come back down here and show me the way Control yourself, love is all you need Control yourself, open up your heart Open up your heart Sanctify yourself, sanctify Sanctify yourself, sanctify Sanctify yourself, set yourself free |

Stories came like the wind
Joining every bridge in the wind Ringing out footsteps Calling out stell-heels I give voice I give breath Count out evenings and stars How fast can these things move on Taking roots back to yourself And the reason for fear was moving on And on Some time Great times Troubled time Fire for the times Ringing out footsteps Calling out steel-heels Promised land Great times in commotion Here come every day It only lasts an hour Unhappy the land that has no heroes No! Unhappy the land that needs heroes And the reason for fear was moving on The speed of light was moving on Don't cry Tears are only wasted waters Some say God her only loves the proud Be damned on luck But not dishearted Nothing to prove And nothing to present I give voice I give breath Catching winds in my hand My hand Some times Great times Catching wind in my hand My hand Some times Great times Troubled times Fire for the times Ringing out footsteps Calling out steel-heels Promised land Great times in commotion Here comes every dat It only lasts an hour Unhappy the land that has no heroes No! Unhappy the land that needs heroes I'll call you out I'll scream you out And I don't care if you're afraid When city sounds invade the air Catch the wind in their hands Promised land Catch the wind in their hands Promised lands Promised lands Promised lands Great times in commotion |

Life In A Day
The price that you pay For time that you spent It's such a fatal event Take a look at your watch There is no time to wait Take a look deep inside There's no escape from this day Life In A Day Life In A Day Take a look around you Is it true what they say Life In A Day Life In A Day Is there no place to hide Could there be some other way Can you see how they run Do you believe what they say They'll soon be looking for you For sure they'll get you away The premonition came true Look all around and you'll see Some say it takes two to know Or could it all just be me Life In A Day Life In A Day I love to see how they run They came a running this way Life In A Day Life In A Day No sence in looking for you They're going to get you one day Life In A Day Life In A Day |

And now the sound of time is getting fast
It's getting late Don't know if I can take much more The way you talk I often wondered If I heard the words somewhere Someplace before I got so nervous when I called And found that lately You had gone and changed your name But I've got something on my mind I want you here I want you now You better explain Is it true you're running round Now is it true they're calling you The Chelsea Girl Is it true you're running round Now is it true they're calling you The Chelsea Girl Your best friend never calls you up But you don't mind 'Cause lately things are all the same Ain't it strange how peope always seem To know your face But just don't know your name Well I don't care there's no-one there That even turn around and say get out of this place Last night I saw a shooting star When morning comes She hides away A real disgrace Is it true you're running round Now is it true they're calling you The Chelsea Girl Is it true you're running round Now is it true they're calling you The Chelsea Girl Oh Chelsea Girl You got me caught up in a whirl I want you here now Chelsea Girl |

Real to real
Fact to fact Nothing moving happening Artifact The waiting room Waits Limbo can burn But the original sin The incentive to learn Fly over land Where no hearts can beat The metal rain pouring Raining Raining Raining down on me Hole in my head Where the creature has crawled And It's burning and turning Out of control Real to real Fact to fact Nothing moving happening Artifact I in this land Sand in the eye So here we go The happy man dies Brave little world Well you cry once again Remodel life Remake and remodel Remodel men Protection Protection The sound of machines Image is burning As they grind to a halt Crying and crying The sound of the shells Tears turn to salt Cry and I cry Just one more illusion I cry just for you There's a hole in my head Wher the voices came through Fly over land Waiting and waiting Where no hears can beat Machinery's burning The metal rains pour Pour Raining Raining down on me Premonition |

In passage of time
To a cigarette burn In the book that I read To the sentence I learn Up and down Going round Going round 'till we drown again I'm gonna set myself up I'm gonna up to the top Up to the top To the top I'm going down to the ground Going round Till we drown Going round till we drown again Factory Imitation of life Factory We all go out to lunch A certain raion we know Has left us unaware Someone else has taken leave Someone who did care Elevators just don't crash The answer lies within Elevators Elevators Answer lies within To the glittering prize To the fool in the sky I've got a jewel in my eye I'm going up Coming down Going round Till we drown Going round till we drown again To the centre of the man Because he had a plan He had a plan to escape But now we've got it on tape Going up Coming down Going around Going round till we drown again Factory Imitation of life Factory We all go out to lunch A certain raion we know Has left us unaware Someone else has taken leave Someone who did care Elevators just don't crash The answer lies within Elevators Elevators Answer lies within Factory Going out to lunch Factory Going out to lunch |

Moving fast I see your face in the distant past Time passes slowly Time passes slowly Time passes slowly Echoes of an empty room Assassin at the window below The concrete jungle sleeps at night Story ends Leave him alone Calling Calling your name All that you say goes in vain I would like to find you On a voyage That could find itself true Centre of a scene Where a man lies dying in the sun The concrete jungle sleeps at night Story ends Can't leave him alone Calling Calling your name All that you say goes in vain I would like to find you On a voyage That could find itself true Private world Moving fast I see your face in the distant past Time passes slowly Time passes slowly Time passes slowly |
