Hello, hello this is romeo
Calling from a jackpot telephone Shame, shame but i love your name And the way you make the buffalo roam Oh fly, fly i guess this is goodbye Oh you packed up your heart And you left no souvenirs But if you want me you can call me In the night you know where i'll be Broken lover you can touch me In the dark the innocent can't see You lock it up now hide the key It would mean surrender to let me see Oh brave, brave soldier keep it under cover You fell alone like no other lover Burn the pictures break the records Run far away to a northern town Sell your fear and leave me standing here With no souvenirs Once, twice i thought it might be nice To come into your kitchen and play Cool, cool just a crazy fool I never saw it any other way Oh wait, wait i guess i'm just too late Oh you made up your mind Love shouldn't be so hard But if you want me you can call me In the night you know where i'll be Broken lover you can touch me In the dark the innocent can't see You lock it up now hide the key It would mean surrender to let me see Oh brave, brave soldier keep it under cover You fell alone like no other lover Burn the pictures break the records Run far away to a northern town Sell your fear and leave me standing here With no souvenirs No shirts, no shoes No jackets, no blues You car's for sale You forward your mail You're growing your hair You don't want to know where I'm calling you from Or how come But if you want me you can call me In the night you know where i'll be Broken lover you can touch me In the dark the innocent can't see You lock it up now hide the key It would mean surrender to let me see Oh brave, brave soldier keep it under cover You fell alone like no other lover Burn the pictures break the records Run far away to a northern town Sell your fear and leave me standing here With no souvenirs |

If i could have my way
I'd be sleeping in the alley On a couch with a friend and a bottle of gin If i could have my way I'd be runnin' with the circus I would be taming all the lions There'd be no denying i was brave and crazy If i could have my way I wouldn't be dreaming, scheming, screaming Oooh, what am i gonna do About you I wishes were horses This beggar would ride I'd have my cake and eat it With a little on the side I'd never want for money I'd never want for friends I wouldn't have to make excuses for the shape that i'm in Shaking and crazy Before i saw your eyes I was in control of my soul on the whole Oooh, what am i gonna do About you Cool as a rule I wouldn't play nobody's fool But i keep on talking Made in the shade I had a perfect cue to fade But i keep on walking If i could have my way I'd check out right now I'd say out to lunch honey thanks a bunch It wouldn't work out anyhow But this desire's too much It's rented out my brain It's showing previews of your body Driving me insane And that's crazy So all that i can do Is to beg, plead, won't you tell me please What am i gonna do About you |

Lying in a city night
A million fingers tingling my skin Out thee in the sea tonight I thought i saw you clutching your sin You rolled me over long ago And told me you were strong enough to go You needed more than this lover's dream You need the steel and the concrete beams in your life In your life We laughed and drank in the jukebox light And we tore the rug in that downtown dive Every saturday night For fifty cents we'd dance all night long And each new tune we said that's our song Oh it felt so right Well ecstasy ain't free But compromise is chance I remember how You used to love to dance They told me you have found your love You moved in locked up and put out your blues Well all god's children got to grow up And play house make vows to hang up their shoes Do you sit and talk over coffee cups Do headline mornings satisfy and fill you up I kept your eyes and your cigarette kiss You couldn't keep the lies the adrenalin bliss in your life In your life We laughed and drank in the jukebox light And we tore the rug in that downtown dive Every saturday night For fifty cents we'd dance all night long And each new tune we said that's our song Oh it felt so right Well ecstasy ain't free But compromise is chance I remember how You used to love to dance I'm gonna go out tonight I'm gonna drive up to the hill I'm gonna dive on into those city lights And i'm gonna dance, dance Dance till i get my fill We laughed and drank in the jukebox light And we tore the rug in that downtown dive Every saturday night For fifty cents we'd dance all night long And each new tune we said that's our song Oh it felt so right Well ecstasy ain't free But compromise is chance I remember how You used to love to dance |

Morning's hard coffee's cold
Pretending that the days mean more than getting old Stale headlines other drenched in pride Marching to their drum with fear standing beside But if i close my eyes and throw back my head I can see his face and i hear the words he said And my memories ache and my senses burn Did he dream too late will we ever learn I, i want to testify My love still lives and breathes And my soul is screaming why The thoughts won't let me sleep Don't let hearts break And don't let children cry Before it gets too late I want to testify I take what's said as my daily dread I turn the page and i turn my head I pick i choose on the evening news Cause by cause they fight and one by one they lose Must i live my days in these concrete ways Will the fire break through this smokey haze And i swear tonight i'm gonna find that place It's not the love that dies but the understanding ways I, i want to testify My love still lives and breathes And my soul is screaming why The thoughts won't let me sleep Don't let hearts break And don't let children cry Before it gets too late I want to testify Rip through the wire that screens in my window Throw open the shade that covers my mind I'm going to touch i've got to believe The bell tolls for me I, i want to testify My love still lives and breathes And my soul is screaming why The thoughts won't let me sleep Don't let hearts break And don't let children cry Before it gets too late I want to testify |

Am i the snake inside your garden
The sugar in your tea The knock upon your back door The twist that turns your key Am i the sweat you feel on your head The shadow on your face The tune inside your head that put you here in the first place Well i don't want to be I don't want to be I don't want to be your sweet temptation I don't want to be your new sensation It's just a delicate distraction With just a hint of satisfaction Look me in the eye and let me know If you can't love me that let me go Let me go Let me go Do you try to stay suspended In your deepest fantasy After night has ended The scent of mystery The power of suggestion Tangles up your soul A neutral state between love and hate Is bound to take its toll Well i don't think you know I don't think you know I don't think you know about the screaming You don't understand the meaning You could trade it in for laughter To keep your happy ever after Look me in the eye and let me know If you can't love me then let me go Let me go Let me go Baby in your ivory tower Do you sleep tight dream fight Baby does it wet your appetite Maybe in your darkest hour Am i the keeper of your beast Well i don't want to be I don't want to be So let me go Let me go |

When i was a child
I dreamed like a child of wonder With my back in the grass My eyes to the sky to see I believed in the stars I knew they cast a spell that i was under With my fingers in the dirt I was part of the earth Every living thing was part of me But it's gone, it's gone It's gone, it's gone, gone I can't feel it I can't feel it Must've found a way out my back door Must've run away out my back door Because it's gone, gone, gone Then i fell in love Love gave me a shot of pure desire There was nothing else like this This unimagined bliss this ecstasy Deep inside the night I believed i saw the light ignite a fire And it burned into the dark It burned deep inside my heart I thought it would burn eternally But it's gone, it's gone It's gone, it's gone, gone I can't feel it I can't feel it Must've found a way out my back door Must've run away out my back door Because it's gone, gone, gone So i run into the street And i'm shouting into the phone Asking everyone i meet I say have you seen it on my doorstep Did you see it in my car Have you seen it in the alley Was it on the back of some guitar Is it sleeping in the hallway Does it cry all night alone Is it selling itself for money Does it want, does it want to come home |

It's so hard to listen to these trains
Outside my window here it comes again And it's calling me begging me Follow me down the track And it moans so dark and low Baby ain't comin' back I refuse to believe It could happen to me and you It's lonesome and it's hard and it's true It got this whiskey to take care of my lips I got these long cool steel strings At my fingertips I ain't got nothing to soothe my aching soul Except this screeching and screaming iron To tell me where i ought to go I refuse to believe It could happen to me and you It's lonesome and it's hard and it's true I hear the train sigh And idle down below Why your love is so sweet and while Is something i'll never know It sounds like crying It sounds like letting go Breathing and lying Sinking and dying slow And i watch from my window Touching the cold glass sky As the train rolls down the track I say goodbye |

Past the devil's own temptation
And beyond where angels sleep To the holy invocation Of a neon city street I feel your hand I hold you Through your eyes I see My love, wherever I go I take you with me Down the road of my desires To the oceans of my peace Through the fueling of my fires Until my yearnings cease I hear your voice I know you In your arms I sleep My love, wherever I go I take you with me Even though I've fed my hunger Even though I've named my fear I'll never understand it How the journey led me here But I have made a promise That I intend to keep My love, wherever I go I take you with me |

Please baby can't you see
My mind's a burnin' hell I got razors a rippin' and tearin' and strippin' My heart apart as well Tonight you told me That you ache for something new And some other woman is lookin' like something That might be good for you Go on and hold her till the screaming is gone Go on believe her when she tells you nothing's wrong But I'm the only one Who'll walk across the fire for you I'm the only one Who'll drown in my desire for you It's only fear that makes you run The demons that you're hiding from When all your promises are gone I'm the only one Please baby can't you see I'm trying to explain I've been here before and I'm locking the door And I'm not going back again Her eyes and arms and skin won't make it go away You'll wake up tomorrow and wrestle the sorrow That holds you down today Go on and hold her till the screaming is gone Go on believe her when she tells you nothing's wrong But I'm the only one Who'll walk across the fire for you I'm the only one Who'll drown in my desire for you It's only fear that makes you run The demons that you're hiding from When all your promises are gone I'm the only one |

Come to my window
Crawl inside, wait by the light of the moon Come to my window I'll be home soon I would dial the numbers Just to listen to your breath I would stand inside my hell And hold the hand of death You don't know how far I'd go To ease this precious ache You don't know how much I'd give Or how much I can take Just to reach you Just to reach you Just to reach you Come to my window Crawl inside, wait by the light of the moon Come to my window I'll be home soon Keeping my eyes open I cannot afford to sleep Giving away promises I know that I can't keep Nothing fills the blackness That has seeped into my chest I need you in my blood I am forsaking all the rest Just to reach you Just to reach you Oh to reach you Come to my window Crawl inside, wait by the light of the moon Come to my window I'll be home soon I don't care what they think I don't care what they say What do they know about this love anyway Come to my window Crawl inside, wait by the light of the moon Come to my window I'll be home soon |

Why did you steal the matches
From the one room motel Once they gave you answers Now they give you hell They will never understand They wonder where did they go wrong How could you be so selfish Why can't you get along And as you pray in your darkness For wings to set you free You are bound to your silent legacy You've seen it in the movies And you've heard it on the street Craving the affection Your blood is full of heat They don't listen to your reasons As original as sin Deny all that you feel And they will bring you home again And as you pray in your darkness For wings to set you free You are bound to your silent legacy Your body is alive But no one told you what you'd feel The empty aching hours Trying to conceal The natural progression Is the coming of your age But they cover it with shame And turn it into rage And as you pray in your darkness For wings to set you free You are bound to your silent legacy You are digging for the answers Until your fingers bleed To satisfy the hunger To satiate the need They feed you on the guilt To keep you humble keep you low Some man and myth they made up A thousand years ago And as you pray in your darkness For wings to set you free You are bound to your silent legacy Mothers tell your children Be quick you must be strong Life is full of wonder Love is never wrong Remember how they taught you How much of it was fear Refuse to hand it down The legacy stops here Oh my child... |

"I Will Never Be The Same"
So you walked with me for a while Bared your naked soul And you told me of your plan How you would never let them know In the morning of the night You cried a long lost child And I tried on I tried to hold you But you were young And you were wild But I, I will never be the same Oh I, I will never be the same Caught in your eyes Lost in your name I will never be the same Secrets of your life I never wanted for myself But you guarded them like a lie Placed up on the highest shelf In the morning of the night When I woke to find you gone I knew your distant devil Must be draggin' you along But I, I will never be the same Oh I, I will never be the same Caught in your eyes Lost in your name I will never be the same And you swore that you were bound for glory And for wanting you had no shame But I loved you And then I lost you And I will never be the same But I, I will never be the same Oh I, I will never be the same Caught in your eyes Lost in your name I will never be the same |

She wakes up in the morning
With a pain in her jet black head A decaf coffee in her hand And a Marlboro red She drives down to the office In her Japanese car With the radio blasting She dreams of taking it too far But today she'll pay the bills She won't think about the thrills That pass away She's an all American girl An all American girl And she will live and die in this man's world An all American girl Her eyes are black as leather And her hair is killer red How could she keep the baby When she can barely keep her head She don't owe nobody nothing And she ain't on the street But these drinks are getting heavy And these lips are getting weak She don't understand Why she can't climb out of the sand And break away She's an all American girl An all American girl And she will live and die in this man's world An all American girl Her lover never came home And it's half past three Today her best friend told her He's HIV Something's gotta give somewhere Forcing circles into squares She keeps pushing on She's an all American girl An all American girl And she will live and die in this man's world An all American girl |

"Resist"
The sign says do not enter No trespassing allowed With visions of redemption I walk against the crowd The sun is white with envy Confusion on the ground Breathing soft and holy Temptation's only sound A demon's day in madness kissed I swear I never had it like this Forbidden yet I cannot resist Shocked in silent trances Our eyes search just to know What makes flesh and body hunger For another burning soul Conscience quiet pleading In the corner of my eye But seeing is believing All consequences fly A demon's day in madness kissed I swear I never had it like this Forbidden yet I cannot resist With fever I persist The rages of your kiss My reckless heart in fist And I cannot resist A demon's day in madness kissed I swear I never had it like this Forbidden yet I cannot resist |

Ruins
Don't try to call There are some bridges that burn Beyond recognition beyond repair Don't say you've changed There are some forces that turn Beyond recollection beyond my stare When I feel the cold in the dark I know you're there Long ago I was a woman in pain A woman in need I ran to you Long ago I did not understand You were making me bleed I ran to you When I feel the cold in the dark I know what you do I will crawl through my past Over stones blood and glass In the ruins Reaching under the fence As I try to make sense In the ruins I know your heart has held its own fear It's perfectly clear What they did to you In my heart it's the screaming I hear I won't let them come near Since my love knew you When I feel the cold in the dark I remember you I will crawl through my past Over stones blood and glass In the ruins Reaching under the fence As I try to make sense In the ruins Night after night I am carving it out I will carry it down to the waterside Night after night I am hearing the sound Of wings that come beating I will not hide When I feel the cold in the dark I will know why I will crawl through my past Over stones blood and glass In the ruins Reaching under the fence As I try to make sense In the ruins But if I am to heal I must first learn to feel In the ruins I will crawl |

"Talking To My Angel"
Don't be afraid Close your eyes Lay it all down Don't you cry Can't you see I'm going Where I can see the sun rise I've been talking to my angel And he said that it's alright I've always had to run I don't know just why Desire slowly smoking Under the midwest sky There's something waiting out there That says I've got to try I've been talking to my angel And he said that it's alright This town thinks I'm crazy They just think I'm strange Sometimes they want to own me Sometimes they wish I'd change But I can feel the thunder Underneath my feet I sold my soul for freedom It's lonely but it's sweet Don't be afraid Close your eyes Lay it all down Don't you cry Can't you see I'm going Where I can see the sun rise I've been talking to my angel And he said that it's alright |

Go on and close your eyes go on imagine me there
She's got similar features with longer hair And if that's what it takes to get you through Go on and close your eyes it shouldn't bother you You never had to wait for nothing in your life I guess wanting me must have been a steel blue knife And when night after night the scent of passion would linger You had to have the jewels wrapped around your finger Now you keep running down the road in your midnight state of mind Curiosity kills if you can't read the signs Go on and close your eyes go on imagine me there She's got similar features with longer hair And if that's what it takes to get you through Go on and close your eyes it shouldn't bother you Dancing with the wall made you bitter and sweet There ain't much you can do when they just lay it at your feet But you could tell by the song I wanted to be the one Did you listen again when the damage was done Now the paint's still wet in your do-it-by-number dream Are you gonna tell me how it felt, will you tell me what it means Go on and close your eyes go on imagine me there She's got similar features with longer hair And if that's what it takes to get you through Go on and close your eyes it shouldn't bother youWas it want with no desire Was it smoke with no fireDid I say it doesn't rip me apart I lied I'm sorry dear my hands are tiedGo on and close your eyes go on imagine me there She's got similar features with longer hair And if that's what it takes to get you through Go on and close your eyes it shouldn't bother you |

The water was running low And my fields were on fire, burning my sky My body was moving slow And when I awoke I tasted the sweat of desire in my mouth And I realized my heart had abducted my mind And they were last seen headed south Now I cant sleep Im so wired And I find myself screaming out Dont you need dont you want Cant you taste it when youre alone Dont you cry dont you feel Sometimes I wonder if you are real Dont you bleed Dont you need Theres no quenching the thirst theres no relief For the hungry at heart And as far as youre concerned Im just a thief Entertaining in the dark But its you that holds the cards Now that the joker is wild Dont you want to lay it down And feel your skin against the ground Dont you want to ride the storm And then sleep inside the calm Dont you want to get that high Dont you want to be satisfied Well if you dont want it from me Dont you need I had a dream late last night The water was running low And my fields were on fire burning my sky How was I to know That I burn every night in my dreams And only morning can set me free Dont you need dont you want Cant you taste it when youre alone Dont you cry dont you feel Sometimes I wonder if you are real Dont you bleed Dont you need |

And I understand their warning I understand their song Since you left I feel the change in the air And night after night I'm searching for mercy everywhere So I wake in the street and I call out your nameI shout to the sky please Come on let it rainLet it rain down on meLet the rain touch my hands Let the rain set me freeLet it rain down on me Silence is the steel that pierces and cuts me to the bone In dreams the hand that touches you is mine and mine alone Cruel is the light is the morning shining down on me Hours with the Devil to understand just what you need So I wake in the street and I call out your nameShout to the sky come on Come on let it rainLet it rain down on meLet the rain fill my eyes Let the rain set me freeLet it rain down on me Just inside the distance I hear the late September dogs And so I beg for sleep the child who walked before she crawled Damn my soul that remembers and clutches to this pain The spear in your side is meCome on let it rainLet it rain down on me Let the rain touch my handsLet the rain set me freeLet it rain down on me |

I got a chrome-plated heartI got wings on these fingers trying to tear it apart
I got angels crying from up aboveAnd they got rust in their eyes They got rust on their loveBut I have learned to leave no stone unturned And keep the wall against my backAnd the love is real as the day is long And the night is blackAs black as nightI got a two dollar stare Midas in my touch and Delilah in my hair I got bad intentions on the soles of my shoes With this red hot fever and these chromium blues And I will feel another lovers wheelAnd drive for miles and not look back And the love is real as the day is longAnd the night is blackAs black as night On my chrome-plated heartWings on these fingers trying to tear it apart I got angels crying from up aboveAnd they got rust in their eyes They got rust on their loveAnd the only way I know where the train will go Is when I'm sleeping on the tracksAnd the love is real as the day is long And the night is blackAs black as nightAnd the night is blackAs black as night |

Go on and close your eyes go on imagine me there
She's got similar features with longer hair And if that's what it takes to get you through Go on and close your eyes it shouldn't bother you You never had to wait for nothing in your life I guess wanting me must have been a steel blue knife And when night after night the scent of passion would linger You had to have the jewels wrapped around your finger Now you keep running down the road in your midnight state of mind Curiosity kills if you can't read the signs Go on and close your eyes go on imagine me there She's got similar features with longer hair And if that's what it takes to get you through Go on and close your eyes it shouldn't bother you Dancing with the wall made you bitter and sweet There ain't much you can do when they just lay it at your feet But you could tell by the song I wanted to be the one Did you listen again when the damage was done Now the paint's still wet in your do-it-by-number dream Are you gonna tell me how it felt, will you tell me what it means Go on and close your eyes go on imagine me there She's got similar features with longer hair And if that's what it takes to get you through Go on and close your eyes it shouldn't bother youWas it want with no desire Was it smoke with no fireDid I say it doesn't rip me apart I lied I'm sorry dear my hands are tiedGo on and close your eyes go on imagine me there She's got similar features with longer hair And if that's what it takes to get you through Go on and close your eyes it shouldn't bother you |

And ten and ten again I have seen too much to pretend Then you wanted to come in I have survived all of the lies They made me wise The locks and walls and the peace it buys Still when I look into your eyes It's a surprise when you say: (It's gonna be alright) (It's gonna be okay) (Just hold on tight) (Let it all go away) (It's gonna be alright) Oh, mercy, mercy, baby (It's gonna be okay) (Just hold on tight) What do you want from me (Let it all go away) Well I plead: "Mercy, mercy, baby" I do not know what this all means It's been awhile since I been stylin' In just my jacket and my jeans It hurts to walk it hurts to talk It hurts to think about it Shout about it Could I be sure without a doubt That you could never live without me (It's gonna be alright) Oh, mercy, baby (It's gonna be okay) (Just hold on tight) What do you want from me (Let it all go away) (It's gonna be all right) Oh, mercy, mercy, baby (It's gonna be okay) (Just hold on tight) What do you want from me (Let it all go away) I want to fall in you, crawl in you Surrender all in you now Could I be sure in you, pure in you Finding the cure in you Now I plead: "Have mercy on me" Oh... Now I am kneeling at the alter In the temple of your eyes And I am asking for a miracle I have been too long paralyzed When you say: "Get up and stand up And climb the rope of hope And open up again" Oh, the peace you say is promised me Seems too much to comprehend (It's gonna be alright) Oh, mercy, baby (It's gonna be okay) (Just hold on tight) What can this girl believe (Let it all go away) (It's gonna be alright) Oh... mercy (It's gonna be okay) (Just hold on tight) What do you want from me (Let it all go away) What do you want from me (It's gonna be alright) (It's gonna be okay) Mercy, baby (Just hold on tight) Mercy, baby (Let it all go away) (It's gonna be alright) Mercy, mercy, mercy, baby (It's gonna be okay) (Just hold on tight) Hold on tight Let it all go away (It's gonna be alright) It's gonna be okay (Just to hold on tight) Oh... (Let it all go away) Mercy, baby |

Smooth as cream She's every young boy's dream
She's like a hot rollercoaster on a video screen She's off the hook Take a look Let your imagination cook She don't play by the rules She don't go by the book All the boys wanna know If she's got something to hide All the girls are relieved She's working for the other side She's a sinner A saint She'll run it cool and hot She's a secret agent You can believe it or not Killer eyes that homicidal sight You can't resist it To be twisted in her suicidal thighs Confessional lips Professional fingertips It's a deception to perfection Her exceptional hips All the boys wanna know If she's got something to hide All the girls are relieved She's working for the other side She's a sinner A saint She'll run it cool and hot She's a secret agent You can believe it or not Her disguise is specialized And her code is confidential It's her modus operandi She's a threat Makes you sweat As she drags her cigarette Man, what you see Ain't always what you get She'll make a grown man cry She'll make a woman try She'll make you wanna believe And she will leave you high and dry You got nowhere to run got her phasers on stun With her toys like the boys She is second to none Everybody wants to know If she's got something to hide All the girls are relieved She's working for the other side She's a sinner A saint She'll run it cool and hot She's a secret agent You can believe it or not |

The sky is too high to paint tonight
The wind is too strong to hold on to I climb on your roof and call out your name Somebody stole my silver shoes Now the show must go on, and on and on and on (chorus) Will you still love me anyway Will you still need me when you're victorious Will you still want me when I've nothing to say Will you still love me anyway I am in the big top on the live wire Under the gun, over the fire I'd swim up so high, like a swan I would dive Someone took my net, and buried me alive And the crowd screams for more – Encore, Encore (chorus) Oh I, I need to know why Doesn't love die What becomes of life When does it begin And tell me how's it end When your carved into my carved into my carved into my skin Will you still love me anyway (chorus) |

Keep your eyes down, keep your head lowered
Keep to your self dear, do not tell a soul You know it's wrong what they've been sayin' And you knew all along that I would have to go Find the place where light shines on my reflection A place where I can stand upon my own Not down on my knees Until then please [chorus] Meet me in the dark Meet me in the shadows Past the old graveyard On Eisenhower road Meet me where the storms Blow out on their own dear Meet me in the dark Never let me go I know everyone has their unspoken fear That eats away their senses and their humanity They carry all their secrets every night down to the river And they try so hard to drown them They wont do that to me Cause I'm working hard saving all my money And the tips in this jar will by a brand new set of wings For my mercury Until then please [chorus] I could never hide this little light of mine If God made a mistake then I should die before I wake Maybe it's my fate to swim against this tide Swallowing my pride Keep your eyes down; say that you don't know me For I could not survive if they took you away [chorus] |

Well I was a slick midwestern gal
On a long hard road into southern cal Didn't find any crime fillin' up all my time I had the devil in my bones and an angel on my mind and I drank up all the movies and I searched for happy endings I turned love inside out till I was perfectly pretending still I believed it could be true that when you find the one There's no question in the silence All is said and done when you find the one when you find the one Yeah you could say that I was crazy I was that kinda girl I had to open up a lot of oysters before I found myself a pearl I had to kiss a lot of frogs to find my grass was green enough had to be face down in the gutter to see what is and isn't love Then I woke from all the dreaming to your taste and to your laughter I cried till I was dry and now live my ever after I believe I always knew When you find the one There's no question in the silence All is said and done when you find the one When you find the one And when you make the choice to believe in your existence with hello you will know when you find the one I believe it could be true yes I believe I always knew and I believe it could be true and believe i always knew when you find the one There's no question in the silence All is said and done when you find the one And when you make the choice to believe in your existence with hello you will know when you find the one with hello you will know |

First time I saw you
Back in 1982 An LA bar I've come so far In my Kansas dancing shoes I'm just a singer And I'm looking for a song Do you want to sing along? Two greyhounds later And I'm feeling alright I've got to have you And it must be tonight Come on back to my place Well, it's really just a room But I'll be making some money soon Goodbye and thank you Oh, my number, yeah- please phone Two or three weekends On the 405 alone You say come on and stay And when you sing down at the bar It will not be so far <i>[Chorus:]</i> And I tried to do my best I never meant to hurt no-one I was waiting for my break That I knew one day would come And I'd plug in my guitar And I'd look out across the room And I'd dig into my heart And I'd try to sing the truth And I know I did my best I never meant to hurt no-one As I recall Back in 1982 I never said goodbye or why I just left a note for you Then one night I saw you Across the road, Across the dark A shameful spear into my heart Your look was haunting An unexpected pain I am so sorry For the unexpected rain The sadness that you kissed The fresh scars on your wrist I can't make it go away <i>[Chorus]</i> Good night ladies Good night I'm gonna leave you now, Good night ladies Good night I'm gonna leave you now.

I think of how you know me,
no doubts no thinking twice. When your smile can be so soothing, a familiar paradise. When there's no one else that makes me whole. I have never needing more I get this feeling I've loved you before We were lovers in an army, marching all for Rome. side by side in battle, did we bravely leave our home? Did I hold you in my arms, as you were taking your last breath? Did shout to all the gods, that I would love you beyond death? I swear I've loved you before. Did we hide in the dark ages, from a vengeful god above? Were our names too unfamiliar, to ever speak of love? Did I cling to every moment with you, in every parting glance? An accidental touch, did we ever take the chance? I know I've loved you before. Have I wandered through the desert? Have I looked and learned all the stars? Have I rode the days and nights on rails, to get back where you are? And every time I foundered, it's your eyes I know for sure. When I think of how you know me, no doubts no thinking twice. When your smile can be so soothing, a familiar paradise. When there's no one else that makes me whole. I never wanting more. I get this feeling. I know I've loved you before.

Held up a sign that says "God hates America" A child has been lost A mother is shocked and is grieving And turning away, turning away He said there is a love that is so hideous and destructive We must drive it from Earth to save all of our children He must know it well In the night it's the hell that he speaks of It keeps him awake, keeps him awake My God is love My God is peace My God loves you My God loves me A suffering soul on the way to the Kingdom of Heaven Prayed in the dark, "Death to the infidel" He strapped all his desperate pain and his faith to his body And blew them away, blew them away A suffering soul on the way to the Kingdom of Heaven Shouts on the news, "They are the godless ones" The anger inside and the fear that it hides never leave her When the cameras are gone, when the cameras move on Oh, people, c'mon? tell me where is your Kingdom of Heaven? Where is your faith? Where do you put your fear? Do you have a price for truth and a price for believing?

How come there's so many people willing to suffer
So they get up and suffer every day They think they were put on this Earth to suffer And, by God, they're going to suffer Until they suffer their lives away How come so many are willing to say There is no sense There is no plan Yet they will not believe The ancient mysteries Passed down through time into their hands If my choice is despair or wonder On the line between truth and belief Do I just let the tide take me under Or do I let the fascination come on and rain all over me <i>[Chorus:]</i> Open your mind 'Cause you have been blind Imagine the answers Or questions will be all you find Open your mind The grooves in my life were unforgiving Over the years I laid them down night after night Work-eat-sleep Work-eat-sleep Work-eat-sleep Work-eat-sleep Work-eat-sleep Work-eat-sleep Suffocating my delight I was dragged into the light Into the stillness Into the white hot flame of my deepest fears And when I came crashing through Humbled and true I was better than I've been in years If my choice is end or beginning In my perception between death and life I'll keep on with this message I'm sending We may not know how or when, But don't you wanna know why <i>[Chorus]</i> Open your mind 'Cause you have been blind Open your mind |

Her soldier the ultimate cost She went to the man Who's been told that he's a king Waited outside of his compound To ask him a few things She said "For what noble cause did my son have to die Where are their weapons Why did you have to lie" Imagine that A lieutenant in the army In his heart and his soul he believes In the land of the free and the home of the brave Now he's standing on trial For he will not behave as they wish He said "I believe the constitution To defend it and uphold I will not fight your war for profit No sir I will not go" Imagine that A scientist and his machine The smallest of life he has seen Inside matter inside atoms As far as you can go He saw the strings of life that vibrate With the universal flow He said "I have seen the spirit And all its creation It's in each and every thought And all our intentions" Imagine that |

I only want to Dance without sleeping I'll dance without fear Dance without senses No message I hear I'll dance without sleeping Dance till I'm numb Dance till I think I can overcome Walking on the edge of Rage and understanding Between the black and the white This child is so angry Alone here tonight Alarming desperation leads me to believe With all my shields and protection It's only me I deceive Dance without sleeping I'll Dance without fear Dance without senses No message I hear Dance without sleeping I'll dance till I'm numb Dance till I think I can overcome The eyes on a magazine The voice on the radio The kiss on the movie screen This is the story I know Fathers hold on and they never go Mothers hold on and they never go Lovers hold on and they never go Lovers, they come and they never go Dance without sleeping I'll dance without fear Dance without senses No message I hear Dance without sleeping I'll dance till I'm numb Dance till I think I can overcome Dance without sleeping I'll dance without fear Dance without senses No message I hear Dance without sleeping I'll dance till I'm numb Dance till I think I can overcome |

I've an image in my pocket
Of some dark demon That temptation brought to life And it chokes all of my breath out I'm scratching and screaming Till morning comes to night Place your hand My body will decide Place your hand My anger will subside There are fragments of possessions Shards of past relations Splintering my skin A fear so black and hollow It can suffocate creation And refuse to let you in Place your hand My body will decide Place your hand My anger will subside And they speak to me Like prophets in my dreams Speak to me Like prophets in my dreams Shouting Like prophets in my dreams Sometimes I think it's easy Too easy for the living To receive the promised land Can flesh provide the answer? The reason for sensation? Justify your hand Place your hand My body will decide Place your hand My anger will subside |

You tell me not to call you up
Cause it ties you down Don't tell your friends You've been hangin' round You must be crazy for me You say you'll see me once or twice Every week or two There's more important things That you've got to do You must be crazy for me Cause when I kissed you last night In my own backyard You ran so fast And you fought so hard You must be crazy for me You must be crazy for me You don't like my hair You don't like my car You don't like my friends You met at the bar You must be crazy for me I see you shake you head And you roll your eyes Your firm remark To remove my thigh You must be crazy for me Cause when I kissed you last night In my own backyard You ran so fast And you fought so hard You must be crazy for me You must be crazy for me Do not expect you to wait Do not expect you to phone Do not expect anything When I catch you alone You must be crazy for me Cause when I kissed you last night In my own backyard You ran so fast And you fought so hard You must be crazy for me You must be crazy for me |

Meet me in the back
Don't make me wait too long I could change my mind And tell you that it's wrong So meet me in the back Where the light don't shine First show me yours Maybe I'll show you mine My hands are shaking My heart is beating fast Is love worth making When it can never last Meet me in the back Don't make me wait too long I could change my mind And tell you that it's wrong So meet me in the back Where the light don't shine First show me yours Maybe I'll show you mine I'm gonna give directions I'm gonna take it slow But if I don't get protection I will just say no Meet me in the back Don't make me wait too long I could change my mind And tell you that it's wrong So meet me in the back Where the light don't shine First show me yours Maybe I'll show you mine I can hear the music Pounding through the walls And to the beat of dancing I will give you all Meet me in the back Don't make me wait too long I could change my mind And tell you that it's wrong So meet me in the back Where the light don't shine First show me yours Maybe I'll show you mine |

He looks at me in wonder
Looks at me in fear Wrestling with his anger His pride and stony tears To place me in his life Will be hard and slow Does he want it need it I might never know The boy feels strange Oh, the boy has changed Looking from my tower I can see his fortress strong Surrounded by his army Where do I belong? Does he ever find the answers In the cars as they go by Does he ever want to ask me, why? The boy feels strange Oh, the boy has changed And he's seen with all the women Who think that he's a God And he blesses whom he pleases Holding fast to the facade I want to reach out and believe him Through his miles and miles of pain But lately when I touch him The boy feels strange But he speaks to me of business When I ask him how he's been Keeps me at a distance Never getting under the skin Can he make a new beginning Does he even want to try Or will he only let it die The boy feels strange Oh, the boy has changed |

You brought me to trust you brought me to tears
In one tender touch the pain disappears I have been to the sword seen it come seen it die As we enter the dark I beseech you to try In prophecy all good things must end So take care my love my friend Keep it precious Keep it precious This yielding is fine this promise rare One day at a time we've agreed to dare Holding you tight with wide open arms I'm letting you go no stranger to harm Go on ride your way do not break or bend Just take care my love my friend Keep it precious Keep it precious And the wonder let the wonder never cease And the madness of the pleasure and ecstasy Danger believing me Wounding and healing me please Keep it precious I believe in your eyes I believe in your fate I believe we can fly on the wings we create A voice from behind calls up anger and fear We can silence that scream it's simple and clear Nothing must die only if failed to mend So take care my love my friend Keep it precious |

I came here to let you know
The letting go Has taken place I have held the winter's son Become one Set my pace Isn't that what we wanted all along Freedom like a stone But I can say goodbye Now that the passion's died Still it comes so slow The letting go Piece by piece I take apart This complicated heart And I hope to find Something I can prove is real I can feel is truth I can say is mine That's all I ever wanted to be The closer that I got The further I could see But when lovers change And the night feels strange We choose our road The letting go I came here to let you know The letting go Has taken place |

Hey you watching as this light bleeds all over me
Shadows rise and fall listen as I call is this reality I will be with you tonight and tomorrow be 1,000 miles away I will be with you tonight I will be with you as long as you say stay One little piece of my soul One little piece of my whole life I give to you Take it now I'm with you I'm not with my lover It's not for another broken heart It's for you Not just for some shattered dream I once knew It's for you It's for you Hey you looking through a mirror to a cage I'll take you away this miracle you pray for on the stage I will be with you tonight I will be with you 1,000 miles away I will never leave Inside of you a piece of me will stay One little piece of my soul One little piece of my whole life I give to you Take it now I'm with you I'm not with my lover It's not for another broken heart It's for you Not just for some shattered dream I once knew It's for you It's for you Come closer now I'm with you I'm not with my lover It's not for another broken heart It's for you Not just for some shattered dream I once knew It's for you It's for you |

I wonder what you're doing
In the night out there Is a sad summer breath tangled in your hair Can you hear the lonely engines Screaming through the town There's no where to run When the darkness comes down Is there a song inside of you That you tried to forget Like your fake ID and your mom's cigarettes Does it take you back Is the vision intense You and me in Shriner's Park Trying to make some sense You were just seventeen But your laughter was mild You liked my dreams you thought I was wild Is there a rhythm in your step now That reminds you of a dance Do you push it all away Cause you never took the chance You'd sneak out your window When I'd come for you I'd be waiting in the street light on 8th Avenue You'd slip into my car We'd drive down past the fence You and me in Shriner's Park Trying to make some sense Did you feel like you were crazy When they sent you far away Did no one have the answers When you hung your head to pray You could not let yourself dream Never dare believe You could ever be more Than you were born to be Do you lock up your house Like you locked up your past If I were to call Could you free me at last Could you slip into my car Could we drive down past the fence You and me in Shriner's Park Trying to make some sense |
