Strange, the view from here Words we spoke, forgotten at the time Now replay in my mind What went wrong, what was right Looking back, I never was there for you You didn't say, but I know it's true
I can't find the real world alone Every time I think I've won I hear your voice inside, questioning Where have you gone Can't you remember feeling so alone You always had the anwer that I could not see
I can't find the real world I can't find the real world I can't find the real world alone I can't find the real world I can't find the real world I can't find the real world alone
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
Hey you cuckoo! See you're in the paper late today, accused of something, and your lips are closed to all of those who know she's missing. Talk abounds she won't be found alive and that's a pity.
I read about all of these crimes. When will it end?
Carry me through tomorrow, guide me along the way. I'm tired of the insane running things, and I won't stop tryin' for change.
Seems the town's ablaze and TV's live to show it's burning. All the while, the smiling juvenile is seeking mercy.
I see these crimes all of the time. When will it end?
Carry me through tomorrow, guide me along the way. I'm tired of the insane running things, and I won't stop tryin' for change.
We legislate and educate trying to find a way to fix the broken dream.
Carry me through tomorrow, guide me along the way. If this is the youth of tomorrow, I'm running the other way. Carry me through tomorrow, guide me along the way. I'm tired of the insane running things, and I won't stop tryin' for change
Used to be a time we held the world. Wrapped 'round our finger tips Laughing at what others missed. Someday, yesterday The magic we felt went away. Grow up somebody said... tell me where it's gone so I can go find it now. I can't live your way. Go ahead without me. I'll find my own way
Some people fly... and some of us worry about touching the sun with wings. I know if I try I'll get where I'm going, Keeping my eyes on the sky.
The box you live within is strong and it's up to you to see beyond the comfort zone you've grown to love. There's more to life than that. The expectations that you hold will keep you down and make you old If you can't see what I'm trying to say, maybe you just need to wear my shoes for awhile. I can't live your way. Go ahead without me. I'll find my own way
Some people fly...and some of us worry I'd risk it all to have wings. I know if I try I'll get where I'm going, Keeping my eyes on the sky.
While you sit there and think about it, there's another unfolding their wings. I can tell you what it's like, but, until you try, you'll never see what I mean.
Some people fly...and some of us worry I'll touch the sky with my wings. I know if I try I'll get where I'm going, Keeping my eyes on the sky. Keeping my eyes, keeping my eyes on the sky.
I know where I'm going, and I've got all my cards showing. I'm like the crow flies, a straight line reaching for the other side I dig the sand they kick at me with a calm that stuns. Tracing time with no alibis makes me, makes me realize. It's ok it's just a dream I had. That there's something out there, something, just out of reach Armed with time on my side and a field of vision miles wide. I'll keep searching for some meaning whatever makes me feel alive. It's ok it's just a dream I had. That there's something out there, something, just out of reach Today I felt something so strong it took my breath away. Now I long to live like this everyday. I'll find it some way.
It's ok it's just a dream I had. That there's something out there, Someday I'll reach. It's ok it's just a dream I had. That there's something out there, Something just out of reach just out of reach, just out of reach
I think therefore I am, familiar to most? How long did we eat the seed planted by our host? 4 billion years between our ears still hatred brings us many tears Still we judge each other... Why when we're only looking for the same high?
Grind time for old misconceptions. Roll out new scenery as per suggestion. Won't salute you. Won't desert you. Won't be a prisoner of assumption anymore.
Does language define us? Is reality... words? How far do we appear to be... is the measure of... scope. But... with our junkie soul, we face the need, of nature's planned dependency. Don't hold contempt for ecstasy just... mourn the dead... on the (national) screen, mourn the dead... on the screen, mourn the dead... on the screen, mourn the dead... while they scream!!!
Grind time for old misconceptions. Roll out new scenery as per suggestion. Won't salute you. Won't desert you.
sp00L Turn another turn! Turn another turn! sp00L Turn another turn!
Don't need persuading by the status quo.
We can make changes. If we open up we'll see... the history they sell us holds the structure firm, reinforce the mold. We need to strip it all away.... and let the sp00L turn, turn, another turn, another turn. Watch it turn, watch it turn. What we'll learn.
Grind time for old misconceptions. Roll out new scenery as per suggestion. Won't salute you. Won't desert you.
sp00L Turn another turn! Turn another turn! sp00L Turn another turn!
Push away what they're selling me, realize what we need to be. Focus on a strategy to open up our minds and then, together... turn another turn
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.
