It's no shot in the dark
And no trick of the lights You tease me, adore me Talking dirty, sitting pretty Lay me down and anoint my wounds Dust up, bust up, let's get down to the nitty-gritty You call on favours promised and sworn Changing names and changing places The blade digs deep And the cut begins to sting There's more to this than reason Or the old familiar rhythm and rhyme Take me shake me lead me To the floor and hey let's swing And the dance goes on And the dance goes on and on And the dance goes on And the dance goes on and on and on and on We're going up in flames We're burning up in a blaze of glory Don't put fire into the hands Of the weak and faint, the weak and frail Tripping the light fantastic Let's celebrate our great escape For goodness sake, it's all the same The sinner and saint, heaven and hell And the dance goes on And the dance goes on and on And the dance goes on And the dance goes on and on and on and on We're going up in flames We're burning up in a blaze of glory Don't put fire into the hands Of the weak and faint, the weak and frail Tripping the light fantastic Let's celebrate our great escape For goodness sake, it's all the same The sinner and saint, heaven and hell And the dance goes on And the dance goes on and on And the dance goes on And the dance goes on and on and on and on |

All I ever need is the truth but I all ever want is affection
Masquerade as Jesus Christ and suffer the crucifixion Lips that speak of love eternal come heal my savaged skin Cast aside all thought of revenge searching for Nirvana within And God only knows my belief holds strong The wisdom comes when the heart suffers long And I'm shedding tears for Judas a kiss may betray And I'm on the side of angels on the heels of a dream a ghost to lay A hard reign may fall and a cruel wind may blow The moon may be pale and I may never know The need for silence but I can see hope in the wind in the rain Lay belief on me my angel child The actor and the poet martyr castles carved in sand Delight and the promise of Eden lay in the touch of your hand As sweet as sin sweeter still the taste The way of all flesh lay me to waste And heaven knows that the meek shall inherit the earth Lay belief on me my angel child Behold a silent ocean in a precious grain of sand And if I have to explain then you'll never understand My petals are strewn scattered by the breeze It's whispered in the wind echoes through the trees Love's a disease and it rips me apart Come heal my ravaged heart Lay belief on me my angel child |

Snow blind, dog tired
Slow grind, and barbed wired Last chant of the jungle trance And the fast step of the monkey dance craze War paint, misty days and dizzy faint Keeping the faith, spinning and turning Watch the flames Of bridges burning Turning colors and shedding skin Shining bright through thick and thin Mirror of Gods, legend and myth The fatal charm of the treasured Gift wrapped and heaven sent Sun trapped on islands of intent Avenging angel of the wild and yearning Stoke the flames Of bridges burning It's burning me over Bridges burning Burning, drives me wild Yearning for the snow child Blind men cry but shed no tears See no evil but speak in tongues And hearsay all lovers leap 'Cos there's no other way across waters deep Fuel the fire and the fool is learning To run from the flames Of bridges burning |

Silver and gold and it's growing cold
Autumn leaves lay as thick as thieves Shivers down your spine chill you to the bone 'cos the mandolin wind is the melody that turns your heart to stone The heat of your breath carving shadows in the mist Every angel has the wish that she's never been kissed A broken dream haunting in your sleep And hiding in your smile A secret you must keep, love cuts you deep Love breaks the wings of a butterfly on a wheel Love breaks the wings of a butterfly on a wheel There's no scarlet in you, lay your veil down for me As sure as god made wine, you can't wrap your arms around a memory Take warmth from me, cold autumn wind cut sharp as a knife And in the dark for me, you're the candle flame that flickers to life Love breaks the wings of a butterfly on a wheel Love breaks the wings of a butterfly on a wheel Love breaks the wings of a butterfly on a wheel Love breaks the wings of a butterfly on a wheel Wise man say all is fair in love and war And there's no right or wrong in the design of love And i could only watch as the wind crushed your wings Broken and torn, crushed like a flower under the snow And like the flower in spring Love will rise again to heal your wings Love heals the wings of a butterfly on a wheel Love heals the wings of a butterfly on a wheel Love heals the wings of a butterfly on a wheel Love heals the wings of a butterfly on a wheel |

Once I thought I saw you in a crowded hazy bar
Dancing on the light from star to star Far across the moon beam, I notice who you are I saw your brown eyes turn and watch the fire You are like a hurricane There's calm in your eye And I'm getting blown away Somewhere safer where the feelings stay I wanna love you but I'm getting blown away Away, away, away I'm just a dreamer and you are just a dream And you could have me anyone to me Before that loving you touched my lips The perfect feeling when time just slips away between us And the foggy trip You are like a hurricane There's calm in your eye And I'm getting blown away Somewhere safer where the feelings stay I wanna love you but I'm getting blown away Away, away, away Away, away, away, away You are just a dreamer and I am just a dream And you could have me anyone to me Before that loving you touched my lips The perfect feeling when time just slips away between us And the foggy trip You are like a hurricane There's calm in your eye And I'm getting blown away Somewhere safer where the feelings stay I wanna love you but I'm getting blown away |

Spinning in rooms in cities of rust I'm stranded, struck out on this line There's smoke and fire and steel and wire And glass and spire and dust One to the floor at dawn with lips tied and drawn Sleepless nights spent, with angels heaven sent Stay with me, lay with me, lay down by my side Stay with me, lay with me, take me deep inside Lay with me, stay with me, lay with me Stay, with me Stay, with me All of us lying there in the dreams Speak of days and another place I wander as the gypsy under a beckoning moon Speak of time, and another face They would in languid cry a fleeting furtive sigh From the cradle to the grave love to desire and crave Stay with me, lay with me, lay down by my side Stay with me, lay with me, take me deep inside Lay with me, stay with me, lay with me Stay, with me Stay, with me I'll laugh for you, and I'll dance for you But don't ask me to shed any tears when I have to go You are a joy and a pleasure to love and to hold Your promises, are as pure as the driven snow Passing shapes in the night the touch distraut and light As you brightly shine, your love tonight is mine Stay with me, lay with me, lay down by my side Stay with me, lay with me, take me deep inside Lay with me, stay with me, lay with me Stay, with me Stay, with me |

Sometimes I feel just like Jesus Christ
Nailed to the cross, betrayed and crucified A crown of thorns cutting into my skin A palace and a throne and a kingdom of my own Knights in armour and courtesans, maids in waiting with blood on their hands The king ??? can't get blood from a stone I'm falling, into the arms of Nemesis I'm falling, into the grip of disease Cold comfort is success and I can feel my blood freeze Reason with the dust and blown away by the breeze How cruel the stars, that shine so hard I'm falling, into the arms of Nemesis I'm falling, into the grip of Disease ?? and all I ever need is the truth But the truth of it all is that there's no truth at all Like the truth of the cry from the new born child So why? Just tell me why, does Jesus cry? I'm falling, into the arms of Nemesis I'm falling, into the grip of disease I'm falling, into the arms of Nemesis I'm falling, into the grip of disease Disease, disease, disease |

There's a crystal view from my window And I can see years to come I live for the burn and the sting of pleasure I live for the sword, the steel, and the gun I can tear down the walls, storm them barricades Run to the place where the frightened crawl Desire lurks beyond good and evil So dance on the graves where the hammer falls Over this land All over this wasteland Over this land All over this wasteland You can touch, but please keep your distance You're innocent and pure and with no shame The spirit is willing, and the flesh is graved Your teasing your torment with the pleasure of pain Over this land All over this wasteland Over this land All over this wasteland Heaven and Hell, I know them well But I haven't yet made my choice My feelings dead 'cause I'm shouting loud And no one can hear my voice Walking the tightwire, can't look down Strung out high, above you all Faithful wind blows through this land Howls my name, Hell is my fall Over this land All over this wasteland Over this land All over this wasteland |

You raise me up when I'm on the floor
You see me through when I'm lonely and scared And I'm feeling true to the written word And you're true to me but still I need more It would tear me apart to feel no-one ever cared For me For me Me You are a tower of strength To me You stand firm and proud when the wind blows in your face And when the sun shines in your eyes you just turn your head away To me To me Me You are a tower of strength To me You rescue me, you are my faith, my hope, my liberty And when there's darkness all around You shine bright for me, you are a guiding light To me To me Me You are a tower of strength To me You are all passion and heart when I lay in your embrace And heaven is in your kiss, salvation lies just a touch away To me To me Me You are a tower of strength To me |

Gypsy in my blood
And I lie where the myth is sold Cross my palm with silver And I'll give you my heart of gold Steal away my crystal ball And bring me in from the cold And it's fair to say there's no comfort here No hands to hold and treasure dear You could very well be the very death of me Crawling 'round your floor On my hands and knees All caution to the wind Taken by the breeze No grave concern for repercussion No room for talk or brave discussion Well I never But the devil may care I'm coming in On a wing and a prayer Snowbound daze Leaves me high and dry And I swear there's more to me than meets your hollow eyes Throw me a line I'm sinking fast I'm not yet willing to die My secret's safe with you I trust Show me faith and give me dust Well I never But the devil may care I'm coming in On a wing and a prayer The devil always fools With the best laid plans And never can I meet With all your choice demands It goes against the grain To place my life in your hands I'll take the flak if you'll take the blame Well I never But the devil may care I'm coming in On a wing and a prayer Well I never But the devil may care I'm coming in On a wing and a prayer |

It's no shot in the dark
And no trick of the lights You tease me, adore me Talking dirty, sitting pretty Lay me down and anoint my wounds Dust up, bust up, let's get down to the nitty-gritty You call on favours promised and sworn Changing names and changing places The blade digs deep And the cut begins to sting There's more to this than reason Or the old familiar rhythm and rhyme Take me shake me lead me To the floor and hey let's swing And the dance goes on And the dance goes on and on And the dance goes on And the dance goes on and on and on and on We're going up in flames We're burning up in a blaze of glory Don't put fire into the hands Of the weak and faint, the weak and frail Tripping the light fantastic Let's celebrate our great escape For goodness sake, it's all the same The sinner and saint, heaven and hell And the dance goes on And the dance goes on and on And the dance goes on And the dance goes on and on and on and on We're going up in flames We're burning up in a blaze of glory Don't put fire into the hands Of the weak and faint, the weak and frail Tripping the light fantastic Let's celebrate our great escape For goodness sake, it's all the same The sinner and saint, heaven and hell And the dance goes on And the dance goes on and on And the dance goes on And the dance goes on and on and on and on |

Snow blind, dog tired
Slow grind, and barbed wired Last chant of the jungle trance And the fast step of the monkey dance craze War paint, misty days and dizzy faint Keeping the faith, spinning and turning Watch the flames Of bridges burning Turning colors and shedding skin Shining bright through thick and thin Mirror of Gods, legend and myth The fatal charm of the treasured Gift wrapped and heaven sent Sun trapped on islands of intent Avenging angel of the wild and yearning Stoke the flames Of bridges burning It's burning me over Bridges burning Burning, drives me wild Yearning for the snow child Blind men cry but shed no tears See no evil but speak in tongues And hearsay all lovers leap 'Cos there's no other way across waters deep Fuel the fire and the fool is learning To run from the flames Of bridges burning |

I see your dancing, laughing, naked
Sweet and pretty face And the promise, burning brightly In your crystal-shot eyes Your savage, and violent flesh, The cut that bleeds, the kiss that stings We're shooting up stars and desperate snows That fall from shimmering skies, So (chorus) Take my hand and lead me To the Garden of Delight Take my hand and lead me To the Garden of Delight Revelation is laid, and reflects On the windswept liquid mirror Of this breathless world, this Happy Death This elegance in charm The treasured first fleeting touch of a gracious stranger In-charmed me and entranced me I know you can do me no harm, so (chorus) We're playing with fire, dancing in the flames And we're covered in burns that may never heal And angels may come, and angels may go But it's heaven on earth when you (chorus) |

The silver moon and a singing breeze
I'm walking out under the stars Light a cigarette, and watch the smoke As it chases my dreams away I turn and gaze out to the sea And watch as the waves come tumbling in Off in the distance an angel cries As the ship of the line comes into bay (Chorus) I'm just an island in a stream I'm all at sea, come rescue me I'm just an island in a stream I'm all at sea, come rescue me Building castles, and flying flags And my lips begin to sting I feel the sand, beneath my feet And my hallowing heart begins to sing The flashing light warns of danger here, But the ship come on, sailing in I run for the shores, and away to hide I need a time and a place to think. (Chorus) I look around to find a friend for life Seeking refuge in your arms Splinters of ice, thin, sharp, and cold Pierce my freezing skin I was scared of your embrace You show me a grave new world And against the tide and dashed on the rocks The ship of the line comes on in (Chorus) (Chorus) |

There's the crime of passion
And the crime of revenge But the worst crime of all Is the crime of regret Speak of the devil And the devil may speak of you Why can we Let sleeping dogs die Deep, it cuts deep And the affection it grows And heaven only knows What you were to earth And the giving birth To the giving rounds of judgement And by fact of reason you accuse of treason Claim betrayal to the Holy Ghost Of the sacred past Its fading fast and forever You took my hand And turned it over Why can't we let sleeping dogs die No devil so dark As the devil I knew There's no love lost And no reason why Talk, of faith you talk But you were the one intent on stun You took my glory and pride Sanctity defied And you never knew What the gods could bring By playing the game Of whose to blame It gets harder all the time To put my trust in you So reverence please Let sleeping dogs die Let sleeping dogs die Let sleeping dogs die |

Tarot strewn across the floor
Fate creeps under the creaking door Say farewell to the salad days Arms held out for the needle haze Scars, scars start to show But don't, don't despair for the shame I know Bible for the love and damned Religion for the pagan man Faith and prayer for the chosen few Mystic shades of violent hue Blood, blood on my cheeks And the taste The taste of ash curls across my tongue Sacrilege, burning on the funeral pyre Sacrilege, toss and turn on the cross to burn Rape and pillage the sacred word Heart of darkness crowned and stirred Rite of passage reckless whirl Fruit forbidden ritual swirl And you, what can you do? And I, I say there's nothing you can do to stop this Sacrilege, burning on the funeral pyre Sacrilege, toss and turn on the cross to burn Tarot strewn across the floor Fate creeps under the creaking door Say farewell to the salad days Arms held out for the needle haze Scars, scars start to show But don't, don't despair for the shame I know Sacrilege, burning on the funeral pyre Sacrilege, toss and turn on the cross to burn. |

Books and covers and part time lovers
Spinning in rooms in cities of rust I'm stranded, struck out on this line There's smoke and fire and steel and wire And glass and spire and dust One to the floor at dawn with lips tied and drawn Sleepless nights spent, with angels heaven sent Stay with me, lay with me, lay down by my side Stay with me, lay with me, take me deep inside Lay with me, stay with me, lay with me Stay, with me Stay, with me All of us lying there in the dreams Speak of days and another place I wander as the gypsy under a beckoning moon Speak of time, and another face They would in languid cry a fleeting furtive sigh From the cradle to the grave love to desire and crave Stay with me, lay with me, lay down by my side Stay with me, lay with me, take me deep inside Lay with me, stay with me, lay with me Stay, with me Stay, with me I'll laugh for you, and I'll dance for you But don't ask me to shed any tears when I have to go You are a joy and a pleasure to love and to hold Your promises, are as pure as the driven snow Passing shapes in the night the touch distraut and light As you brightly shine, your love tonight is mine Stay with me, lay with me, lay down by my side Stay with me, lay with me, take me deep inside Lay with me, stay with me, lay with me Stay, with me Stay, with me |

The cool cruel sleaze, hungry and wild and crawling
Through the storm that breaks and clears away the vicious and violent heat Breathe deep, breathe long and hard Kiss and caress the hand that feeds Love me primitive betraying lips And the treacherous heart of the savage breed Hollow eyes only cry hollow tears And the tingling flesh that melts away The scars and fears that the shameless years Leave laughing and dancing On a wasted and tattered dream Cry hollow tears, that stifle the tortured kiss and scream Screaming in the darkness, torn and ravaged Spinning round in circles animal crazy and the howl of the naked and savage the coll cruel sleaze hungry and wild and crawling Through the storm that breaks and clears away the vicious and violent heat Breathe deep, breathe long and hard Kiss and caress the hand that feeds Love me primitive, betraying lips And the treacherous heart,of the savage breed Screaming in the darkness, torn and ravaged Spinning round in circles animal crazy and the howl of the naked and savage Tarnish, taint and punish me softly Kiss the heavens where the angels tread Love is the corpse that crawls on dreams Rips them apart and tears them to shreds Screaming in the darkness, torn and ravaged Spinning round in circles animal crazy and the howl of the naked and savage |

A fleeting glance upon your silken face Medusa
And you can turn my heart and soul to stone Thank you for the memory, the lasting first impression Thank you for the steel, that cuts to the bone Over the hills and far away there's a place that's paradise Where we walked, walked, walked, walked, walked on in Talked, talked, talked, talked of sharing dreams Up and away, where angels dread to tread Brave rolling thunder and snow storms and pie in the sky Tangled skein of the marriage made in heaven Oh why did you, why did you let all the flowers die Over the hills and far away there's a place that's heaven Where yours was the first kiss and yours was the last kiss Over the hills and far away there's a place that's paradise Where we walked, walked, walked, walked, walked on in Talked, talked, talked, talked of sharing dreams Higher and higher with treason, clear reason, are all men guilty? The sound of laughter ringing true, shining through your childlike eyes Sacred hearts, epitaphs, touched by winds of change Oh why did you, how could you let all the flowers die? Over the hills and far away there's a place that's heaven Where yours was the first kiss and yours was the last kiss Over the hills and far away there's a place that's heaven Where yours was the first kiss, the everlasting kiss Over the hills and far away there's a place that's paradise Where we walked, walked, walked, walked, walked on in Talked, talked, talked, talked of sharing dreams |

Foreign tongues in familiar places
Surrender the thrills to the very core Forever young and blessed with nameless graces A love that kills and promises more Ash on the carpet and dust on the mirror Chasing shadows and the dreaming comes clearer Gasping for colour, this perfect heart Screaming howl and the children play Serpent's kiss for the words you pray Whiskey and the devil and the witching hour Serpent's kiss on that untouched flower Searching for a haven, it's no favour The fingers that shine Heart beats quicker as the veils start to fall I'll be craving, the pleasure's all mine Candles flicker as the devils dance on the wall Stroking the naked and the silence gets colder Stuck on the ceiling and the kissing gets bolder Biting my nails for fear of revenge Serpents kiss and the children play Serpents kiss for the words you pray Serpents kiss and the witching hour Serpents kiss on that untouched flower Ash on the carpet and dust on the mirror Chasing shadows and the dreaming comes clearer Some kind of visitor and the neon street Serpents kiss and the children play Serpents kiss for the words you pray Serpents kiss and the witching hour Serpents kiss on that untouched flower |
