For a price I'd do about anything Except pull the trigger For that I'd need a pretty good cause Then I heard of Dr. X The man with the cure Just watch the television Yeah, you'll see there's something going on Got no love for politicians Or that crazy sc
She always brings me what i need Without i beg and sweat and bleed When we're alone at night Waiting for the call She feeds my skin Sixteen and on the run from home Found a job in times square Working live s&m shows Twenty-five bucks [a fuck] And john's a happy man She wipes the filth away And it's back on the streets again Spreading the disease Everybody needs But no one wants to see Father william saved her from the streets She drank the lifeblood from the saviour's feet She's sister mary now, eyes as cold as ice He takes her once a week On the alter like a sacrifice Spreading the disease Everybody needs But no one wants to see Religion and sex are powerplays Manipulate the people for the money they pay Selling skin, selling god The numbers look the same on their credit cards Politicians say no to drugs While we pay for wars in south america [saudi arabia, on tour] Fighting fire with empty words While the banks get fat And the poor stay poor And the rich get rich And the cops get paid To look away As the one percent rules america Spreading the disease Everybody needs But no one wants to see The way society Keeps spreading the disease
In the wooden chair beside my window I wear a face born in the falling rain I talk to shadows from a lonely candle Recite the phrases from the wall I can't explain this holy pain
Six days ago my life had taken a tumble The orders came from high above they say A need to use me once again, they've got my number Further the cause, boy, yes, you know the game
I'll wait here for days longer 'Til the sister comes to wash my sins away She is the lady that can ease my sorrow She brings the only friend that helps me find my way
I search the past back to a time when I was younger A target for the new society Picked to displace the leaders Countering objectives of this new underground reality
Waiting for days longer 'Til sister comes to wash my sins away She is the lady that can ease my sorrow My love for her will help me find my way
(They'll say) My mission saved the world I stood proud My mission changed the world It turned my life around
I look around, my room is filled with candles Each one a story but they end the same I'll hide away in here the law will never find me The walls will tell the story of my pain
Waiting for days longer 'Til sister comes to wash my sins away She is the lady who can ease my sorrow She sets the pace for my delivery of pain
(They'll say) My mission saved the world And I stood proud My mission changed the world The underground
(They'll say) Will rise and save this world We'll all stand proud Our mission changed the world, we'll change the world We'll all stand proud
I've had enough and I want out! "You can't walk away now."
I looked back once And all I saw was his face Smiling, the needle crying Walking out of his room With mirrors, afraid I heard him scream You'll never get away
Cold and shaking I crawled down alleys to try And scrape away the tracks that marked me Slammed my face into walls of concrete I stared, amazed at the words written on the wall
Don't ever trust Don't ever trust the needle, it lies Don't ever trust Don't ever trust the needle when it cries Cries your name
Wet and raving The needle keeps calling me back To bloody my hands forever Carved my cure with the blade That left me in scars Now every time I'm weak Words scream from my arm
Don't ever trust Don't ever trust the needle, it lies Don't ever trust Don't ever trust the needle when it cries Cries your name
Don't ever trust Don't ever trust the needle, it lies Don't ever trust Don't ever trust the needle when it cries Cries your name
I awoke on impact Under surveillance from the camera eye Searching high and low The criminal mind found at the scene of the crime Handcuffed and blind, i didn't do it She said she loved me I guess i never knew But do we ever, ever really know? She said she'd meet me on the other side But i knew right then, i'd never find her I don't believe in love I never have, i never will I don't believe in love It's never worth the pain that you feel No more nightmares, i've seen them all From the day i was born, they've haunted my every move Every open hand's there to push and shove No time for love it doesn't matter She made a difference I guess she had a way Of making every night seem bright as day Now i walk in shadows, never see the light She must have lied 'cause she never said goodbye I don't believe in love I never have, i never will I don't believe in love I'll just pretend she never was real I don't believe in lovev i need to forget her face, i see it still I don't believe in love It's never worth the pain that you feel No chance for contact There's no raison d'etre My only hope is one day i'll forget The pain of knowing what can never be With or without love it's all the same to me I don't believe in love I never have, i never will I don't believe in love I'll just pretend she never was real I don't believe in love I need to forget her face, i see it still I don't believe in love It's never worth the pain that you feel
Another hungry look in her eyes again Pacing the floor the hunt begins Skin tight leather provides my pleasure Wake my fear, surge with the pressure Walk away and leave forever, do I dare?
Raise my eyes, she stands Holding out healing hands Are you happy now?
I walk the thin line for you Do just what you say to With fear as my friend I walk the thin line one more time for you
Addictive face pretending, don't speak the word Forbidden sin relenting, I barely heard Screams of entry blur my vision Wake my fear of divine intervention Crawl away and bleed forever, if you dare
Hand on mouth the game goes on Love, our stage to play upon Are you happy now?
I walk the thin line for you Do just what you say to With fear as my friend I walk the thin line one more time for you
I walk the thin line for you Do just what you say to I walk the thin line for you Do just what you say to With fear as my friend I walk the thin line one more time for you
Every time I leave You say you won't be there. And you're always there. Every time I cry your name at night, you pull close and say it's alright. I look in your eyes, just like the rain. Washing me, rain wash over me. Touching your face, I feel the heat of your heartbeat echo in my head like a scream. What you do to me! Waited so long I can't wait another day without you. Jet City Woman. It's a long way, home to my Jet City Woman. I see her face everywhere, can't get her out of my mind. Whenever I'm alone I'm thinking, there's a part missing from my life. Wonder where I'd be without your love holding me together now I'm watching the time tick, tick away. Face grows longer every day. Fortunes are lost on the women I've seen but without you I can't breathe! You're the air to me! Waited so long, I'm all alone thinking about you. Jet City Woman. Got to find my way home to her. Jet City Woman. I see her face everywhere I look! Jet City Woman. Just a thousand miles and I'll be there Jet City Woman, to make the clouds go away. Time for some blue sky! Waited so long now the plane's delayed and hour, reminds me of all our days apart. Hold on, just a little longer. Jet City Woman. Wonder where I'd be, you're the air to me. Jet City Woman. Eyes like the rain, rain down on me. Jet City Woman. No more nights alone I'm almost home now. Jet City Woman. Close my eyes, I'm there in my Jet City.
Last night the word came down Ten dead in Chinatown Innocent, they're only crime was Being in the wrong place at the wrong time Too bad, people say, what's wrong with the kids today? Tell you uright now they've got nothing to lose They're building EMPIRE
Protests in New York Listen to the call of the wild Brother, sisters carrying signs Breathe deep before it's too late The sky is falling burning your eyes Down in New Orleans River's boiling, nothing living, nothing to eat Thank the Lord, Daddy's working
Back in '86 February and a special number I just had to know, is this feeling real? I picked up the phone I was one step closer to the danger zone I knew she'd steal my heart away But I know I couldn't live without her love The first time she looked at me Her smile stayed on my mind I never thought I'd ever meet A woman of her kind Now I'm lost in a lover's daze And I'm not walking out Gonna give my heart away And hope that she will always stay Call for me, run to me Whenever you are lonely Call for me, run to me my lady love Won't you come and show me that precious smile And maybe stay for a little while Close the door, Toss the key Say you will always be my one and only Looking back it seems to me The message in her eyes Left a lasting spell on me A feeling I can't hide Now I'm lost in a lover's daze And I'm not walking out Gonna give my heart away And hope she will always stay Call for me, run to me Whenever you are lonely Call for me, run to me my lady love Won't you come and show me that precious smile And maybe stay for a little while Treat me to your sense of taste and style Together we can walk the miles Close the door, toss the key Say that you will always be my one and only
Today is just the same as any other day to me. Walking wall to wall to pass the time, I picture what it’s like on the other side. Because I’m here on the inside of blue, without you. Day in day out on and on ... I’m missing you.
Nothing seems to work as well, my face in the mirror looks like hell. I think I need to see a doctor. I watch the slow hand move line by line. I can’t even think of the words that rhyme.
Day in day out on and on ... I’m missing you.
Some days it feels, just like falling down. Some days it’s easy, just like falling down.
Some days it’s real, just like falling down. Some days it’s easy, just like falling down.
One life, is like one prayer, one love to share. One thought, one dream. One world, one meaning. A man that’s lost everything holds his faith in his heart. Speaks to god of broken dreams, never wondering why when nothing’s heard ... one prayer.
A woman cries in frustration, her man holds it inside. They forgot what got them here, the vows they promised to stand by ... one love.
One life is like one prayer, one love to share. One thought, one dream. One world, one meaning.
It don’t cost much for you to get to heaven, you just got to say your prayers. If you want to stand with your saviors, you better learn how to bow your head. Now bend your knees and bruise the earth and pray.
Heed the cries of the war child. Mothers hold them to their breasts. Fathers fight an enemy and fear breeds unto itself ... one world.
One life, is like one prayer, one love to share. One thought, one dream. One world, one meaning. One life ... One
Iced over, close your eyes. Whisper the flame, it takes us higher. Seems our world is closing around. When I’m inside you, you bring me to sacred ground. When I’m inside you, you bring me to sacred ground. Now you’re the one that I want, you know it’s true. Let go of everything, open up to me. I’m right beside you, I’ll be your watchful eye.
I send waves of devotion over you. You take it all in and give it back, give it back again.
You bring me to sacred ground, when I’m inside you. You bring me to sacred ground.
Yes we’ll love till there’s nothing left to give... matching every movement, swimming in an ocean of sweat, and scent of you. It drives me to ...
You bring me to sacred ground, when I’m inside you. You bring me to sacred ground.
I know I can change your mind. Give it to me the same way. Giving it all up for love, I know that you feel the same way.
I’d give it all up for you, I swear I would.
Now I’m falling, falling inside ...
You bring me to sacred ground, when I’m inside you. You bring me to sacred ground.
I’m inside you.
You bring me to sacred ground, when I’m inside you. You bring me to sacred ground.
You've come to me again my friend. I've been waiting so long. Life seems strange and hard sometimes, maybe I won't make it this time.
Oh They've taken all I have, but I just need what's left of today, and you can wash it all away. When it all comes down and I'm feeling tired and afraid, you're always there, and seem come when I've nothing left to give away.
Now I wait for your winds to come and give me breath for another day, and your rain to wash me.
I feel the rain coming. I feel it in my heart, take away my pain. I feel the rain coming. Wash me down, wash me down.
Here comes the rain. Hold me now, just for awhile.
I feel like a candle flame in the wind. The dust of my deeds past, covers me, like a fading lie.
I feel the rain coming. I feel it in my heart, wash away my pain. Wash me down, wash me down. I feel the rain coming.
There you were like a ghost from my early days, staring straight ahead at me. How could I ever guess, from that moment on, just how everything would change. How could I know?
I recall something strange coming over me, somewhat at a loss for words. I’d been around and had my share of what I thought my soul could bare, but never seen what I saw in your eyes.
How could I know? We never took it slow. We gave it all we had and more.
How could I know? We never took it slow. We gave it all we had and more.
Looking back at where we’ve been, the road ahead is so uncertain. We keep passing open windows forever.
I’ve tried before I’ll try again, I never know where were going. I only know that I’ll be yours forever ... yours forever ... forever ... forever.
How could I know? We never took it slow. We gave it all we had. We gave it all we had.
*** Take your children down to the water wash their heads and sing .. holy holy
Last night I dreamed you were standing there, strong and tall beside me. All my life ... behind me.
You gently took me by my hand and led me to where I couldn’t see,but where I’ve always been ... an island.
In my dreams I’ve been an island ...
where I’m all alone, and I’ve built these walls stone by stone. I want to leave but I don’t know where to go.
I’ve tried the best I can, but it’s hard to be a man and feel the way you feel. I’m different on the inside. I’ve tried to give to you what you need to get you through.
I’ll always be ... beside you.
The day you were born I held you ... small and helpless crying, your life and mine entwining.
As I looked into your eyes I saw myself in an overview, reaching out to you from this island in the sea. I don’t want to be an island.
I’ve tried the best I can, but it’s hard to be a man and feel the way you feel. I’m different on the inside.
I’ve tried to give to you what you need to get you through.
I ain’t no Romeo. I’m just the man for you. Holding out as secrets travel, they kind of get to you. Everybody says that it could’ve been something. Never was a smart kid, never knew a good thing.
Always hearing voices swim ... in your liquid sky.
Liquid Sky ... Always hearing voices, like no more choices in disguise.
I ain’t no sacred idol or a saint pretending. I’ll build you up. I’ll tear you down. Turn you wrong side in.
What am I afraid of? Everyone’s listening. Standing on my soapbox, lost the beginning.
Always hearing voices ... swim ... in your liquid sky.
Liquid Sky ... I’m always hearing voices, like no more choices, like a lie. It’s just, it’s just liquid sky.
I’m always hearing voices like electric shock waves in disguise.
I don’t know what this means. I’ll leave it for your interpretation. It’s just me at the edge ...
Everybody says that it could have been something. Never was a smart kid, never knew a good thing.
Always hearing voices ... swim in your liquid sky.
Liquid Sky ... I’m always hearing voices, like no more choices, like a lie.
It’s just, it’s just liquid sky. I’m always hearing voices like electric shock waves in disguise.
When the whirlwind of noise surrounds and get intense, and when words can’t hide their anger or intent. I feel it in my bones and in my head, can’t make sense of what is said.
Ready for the take down, headed for a breakdown.
Fear has me backed against these walls that I follow and pace.
Time moves in and out of phase of everything that I face.
I feel it in my bones they rattle and shake, can’t find a trace of what it takes to stop this take down.
Can’t stop this breakdown!
Welcome to my scene. A place that’s in-between where squares fit the round. Some affectionately call it ... my breakdown....
When I feel the pressure mounting and my hands begin to clutch, I reach my limit of pain and I’ve had enough.
It feels good to pound on tables and chairs and feel the frenzy start to wear.
Breakdown this take down, gotta stop this breakdown.
Welcome to my scene. A place that’s in-between where squares fit the round.
Don’t know you man or where you’re from. Some say a crazy man, came undone. Please man, make it all make sense. Gotta be some man to keep a promise, you can count on this.
Wot kind of man are you? Tell me, tell me what do I do?
When you left you took part of me, all the things I’ll never see. I fake it, break it, whatever makes it right, can't see the truth through the web of all your lies.
Wot kind of man are you?
Sometimes life’s not too clear for me, apologizes never come easily. I suck up, and buck up and fuck up...
I've spent all my life wondering, what did I to you, what was I supposed to think? Hate man, why didn't you tell me? Now I’m the man, at the end of your family tree.
Wot kind of man are you? Tell me, tell me what do I do?
