Every night I have the same old dream 'bout you and me and what's in between So many changes, so many lies Try to run, try to hide )From everything that I feel inside But I can't escape you or your frozen eyes... Searching in the darkness Fading out of sight Love was here and gone like a thief in the night... Stone Cold... and I thought I knew you so well Stone Cold Can't break away from your spell
Another dark and empty night If I was wrong I wanna make it right But you are so distant, so far away Your words like ice fall on the ground Breaking the silence without a sound Oh familiar strangers with nothing to say Searching in the darkness Fading out of sight Love was here and gone like a thief in the night... Stone Cold... and I thought I knew you so well... Stone Cold Can't break away from your spell... You leave me Stone Cold
Searching in the darkness Fading out of sight Love was here and gone like a thief in the night... Stone Cold... and I thought I knew you so well Stone Cold Can't break away from your spell You're Stone Cold...yeah I can't break away from your spell Stone Cold...baby I thought I knew you so well You're stone cold...ice cold Can't break away from your spell (you put me in the deep freeze) (oh baby don't you leave me) (stone...cold, your leavin' me cold) Stone Cold...I thought I knew you so well Stone Cold...Can't break away from your spell
Carry home my broken bones and lay me down to rest Forty days of cries and moans I guess I've failed to pass the test I've been sent away not a thing to say I'm banished from the fold I'm a fallen angel who's lost his wings And left out in the cold
Chorus:
Ooooh L. A. Connection Oh L. A. Connection L. A. Connection
Operator place a call keep a secret put it through Investigator knows it all he's at the window I wonder who I've got to cut the line and let me drift Find a haven in the storm I got no time I need a lift to where It's sweet and close and warm
Chorus: Ooooh L. A. Connection Oh L. A. Connection L. A. Connection
Carry home my broken bones and lay me down to rest Forty days of cries and moans well I've just failed test Feel I'm balanced on the brim should I lean another way Like a flame that's going on the dim Needs blessing from the day
Chorus:
Ooooh L. A. Connection Oh take me away I got nothing to say It's got to be an L. A. Connection L. A. Connection

Take good care it's a tightrope ride neon city is on the dreamers' side prime time losers going underground they take you up and they shake you down
can't see nowhere don't know, and I don't care 'cos here comes another midtown tunnel vision
Sidewalk cruiser in stiletto heels frozen heart, eyes of steel wrap your body around my soul electric love is gonna take its' toll
can't see nowhere don't know and I just don't care that girl is the mother of my midtown tunnel vision
Sunset skyline night turns to day down on the street you could fade away no second chances in this here wasted life it'll cut you down like a switchblade knife

Hide behind your politics, hide behind your rules tell me I'm a man but you treat me like a fool it's the same old story with a different name you give us all a number and nothing changes out in the winter of a world upon it's knees everyone is watching but no one sees you can't take my freedom you know it is my right if you try and stop me I'm gonna fight with all of my might
I'm a freedom fighter and I'm taking command I'm a freedom fighter and I'm making a stand
Fighting for breath as the world gathers speed time's running out for the things that I need
I'm a freedom fighter I gotta take a stand I'm a freedom fighter, yeah that's what I am I'm a freedom fighter I can't take it no more I'm a freedom fighter no no more I'm a freedom fighter but I'm not afraid I'm a freedom fighter get out of my way.
Contaminated fish and micro chips huge supertankers on Arabian trips oily propaganda from the leaders' lips all about the future there's people over here, people over there everybody's looking for a little more air crossing all the borders just to take their share planning for the future
and we're so abused, and we're so confused it's easy to believe that someone's gonna light the fuse can't happen here, can't happen here all that you fear they're telling you, can't happen here
Supersonic planes for a holiday boom Rio de Janeiro in an afternoon people out of work but there's people on the moon looking for the future concrete racktracks nationwide juggernauts carving up the countryside cars by the million on a one way ride using up the future
and we're so abused, and we're so confused it's easy to believe that someone's gonna light the fuse can't happen here, can't happen here all that you fear they're telling you, can't happen here

There's a light in the sky That hangs on the edge of illusion Something very fine but it's something You know is there Mystery of time hidden by a man of confusion But the hand is quicker than the eye
Only the stranger knows why 'Cos it's magic You know it's magic that you'll find You see it's magic I know who you are there's magic in you
Keep your eye on the man And don't look away for a moment How is it done how does he make me see Something up his sleeve when he speaks you want To believe him
But the hand is quicker than the eye Only stranger knows why 'Cos it's magic Can't you see it's magic that you'll find You know it's magic I know who you are 'cos there's magic in you
Driven by a force Moving in another dimension Here for today, gone for eternity Seeking for truth hidden by the word of his wisdom
But the hand is quicker than the eye Only the stranger knows why Can't you feel it's magic You know it's magic that you'll find I said it's magic I know who you are 'cos there's magic in you
You don't know what's happening, you want to go home But there's nowhere to hide You walk out on stage, your first time alone The crowd's going wild And you feel so alive You could stand up and take this all night They love you but you're in love with the spotlight You're the spotlight kid
Jokers and women they hang 'round your door They're all part of the scene Just like a junkie you've got to have more It's a pleasure machine And you fly every night But the dressing room mirror don't lie They love you but you're in love with the spotlight You're the spotlight kid
Your audience died, faded away It's been so many years since that first matinee It seems like an age Encore one more time For the ghosts of the part in your mind They love you but you're in love with the spotlight You're the spotlight kid You're living in a dream You're the spotlight kid You're in love with the spotlight

I was feeling rather good Should've touched some wood Here she comes again Reachin' out to bend my ear
She's worth another look All the time it took Pleasin' to the eye How can I just disappear It ain't clear She's a bright and shining star But I just must be sensitive to light Oh I just might
I could have let her in Give her just a spin Let her think it's love Better rise above it all
She's knockin' at the door Seem to want some more Never gets the clue What am I to do she's fall And she might call She's a bright and shining star But I just must be sensitive to light
She could dome well I can always tell She's ready for the kill But I think that I will go
Sure I'm gonna see Something just for me Till it comes alone When it's feeling wrong I'll know Gotta take it slow She's a bright and shining star But I just must be sensitive to light
She's a bright and blazing star But I just must be sensitive to light
Danger, danger the Queen's about to kill There's a stranger, stranger and life about to spill Oh no move me out of harm I need a spell and a charm Fly like the wind I'm no pawn, so be gone, speed on and on Kill the king Tear him down
Kill the king, yeah Strike him down
Power, power it happens every day Power, devour all along the way Oh no, move me out of harm I need a spell and a charm And fly like the wind I'm no pawn, so be gone, speed on and on Kill the king
Treason, treason, the spectre looms again Treason, reason, the realm is safe and then Oh no, move away from harm I need a spell and a charm Fly like the rainbow I'm no pawn, so be gone, speed on and on
Kill the king Tear him down Kill the king, yeah Got to take his crown Crown
Kill the king He'll rule no more Strike him dead The people roar
Kill the king, yeah Take his head Down, down, down, down Oh, kill Oh, kill Oh, oh
Look away from the sea I can take you anywhere Spend a vision with me A chase with the wind
Move closer to me I can make you anyone I think you're ready to see The Gates to Babylon The power of what has been before Rises to trap you within A magic carpet ride a genie maybe more A city of heavenly sin Sleep with the devil and then you must pay Sleep with the devil, the devil will take you away Oh Gates of Babylon
You can see but you're blind Someone turned the sun around But you can see in your mind The Gates of Babylon You're riding the endless caravan Bonded and sold as a slave A saber dance removing all the veils Getting as good as you gave A saber dance removing all the veils Getting as good as you gave Sleep with the devil and then you must pay Sleep with the devil, the devil will take you away
Look away from the sea I can take you anywhere Spend a vision with me A chase with the wind
Move closer to me I can make you anyone I think you're ready to see The Gates of Babylon
The power of what has been before Rises to trap you within A magic carpet ride a genie maybe more A city of heavenly sin Sleep with the devil and then you must pay Sleep with the devil, the devil will take you away Black Gates of Babylon
The devil is me And I'm holding the key To the gates of sweet hell Babylon
There's a magical sound sliding over the ground Making it shiver and shake Refrain 1 And a permanent cry falling out to the sky Slippery and sly like a snake
With a delicate move kind of shifty and smooth A shadow has covered light Refrain 2 Then e beam in the shade from a silvery blade Has shattered the edge of the night
Chorus:
I know she waits below Only to rise on command When she comes for me She's got my life in her hands
When a movement behind hit the side of my mind I trembled and shook it away Then another assault and I started to faulter Fibres of steel turned to clay
With a bubbly turn now the water should churn And push it way from the core And a lady in white will bring sun the night Brighter than ever before
Chorus:
Lady of the lake
Refrain 1
Refrain 2
Chorus:
Straight down I'm swirling around Blinded and bruised by the strain There must be some way to see Diamonds out of the rain
Day after day I keep waking up To find that you're slipping away Night after night I can't fight the emptiness inside Nothing I can say Now I know you're turning me away You're wearing a disguise You don't have to hide cause The truth is in your eyes tonight
I don't want to live a lie But I don't want to say goodbye And I can't let you go even though it's over I just can't let you go Though your love is growing colder
One look in my eyes and you'd realize That you got my heart in your hands Won't you let me know something more Where did we go wrong?
I don't want to fight All I want to do is try to understand I'm reaching out for you babe What can I do I've been holding on so long I don't want to live a lie But I don't want to say goodbye I can't let you go Even though it's over I just can't let you go I feel your love is growing colder I don't want to live a lie But I don't want to say goodbye I want you by my side And I can't let you go Even though it's over I just can't let you go I feel your love is growing colder I can't let you go even though it's over
