1. _ World Start Turning
I was born in the southern land
Yeah, a million miles from america
And whatever we wanted was just a matter of choosing
And i was raised in the great white way
Just like all those kids in america
And the t.v. taught us to win with no thought of losing (then i woke up)
This is the real world, the real town without pity
This is the real world, in the shadow of the city
This is the real wheel,
You don't get too many spins
This is the real deal, not everybody wins
Just another soul lost in america
I was so frustrated and i got so lonely
It almost took a miracle to open my eyes
World start turning (turn into the wind)
World start turning (some things were never meant to be)
I've been standing on the beach
Crying to the raging sea
I was falling, falling
Heart start beating (turn into the wind)
Heart start beating (some things were never meant to be)
Made a promise to myself
I'll never get that low again
We were taught if man believes in
What he wants in america
It's only a matter of time, just a matter of seasons
But i walk through the houses of dreams that died
I see the ones still trapped there the ones that tried
But spent the rest of their lives wondering why
And searching for reasons (and they never wake up)
This is the real world, you've got to know just when to bend
Here in the world, precious little matters in the end
This is the real world, the real town without pity
This is the real world, in the shadow of the city
Just another soul lost in america
I was so frustrated and i got so lonely
It almost took a miracle to open up my eyes
World start turning (turn into the wind)
World start turning (some things were never meant to be)
I've been standing on the beach
Crying to the raging sea
I was falling, falling
Heart start beating (turn into the wind)
Heart start beating (some things were never meant to be)
Made a promise to myself
I'll never get that low again
You can't stop the world, cant' stop the world
Never could settle for where i was
Too many places i was trying to be
The times i succeeded and the times i failed
You know that no one will remember but me
World start turning, world start turning
I've been standing on the beach
Crying to the raging sea
I was falling, falling
Heart start beating (turn into the wind)
Heart start beating (some things were never meant to be)
Made a promise to myself
I'll never get that low again |
2. _ Rock Of Life
Big beat talk to me
Waking up blind with the house on fire
Well i pick up my guitar, (i tune up)
I look in the mirror
It's like a stranger in my hand (the baby is crying)
There comes a time when the boy must leave (get up)
And the man has to enter
For the soul to understand (all of the changes)
As if it ain't hard enough this life i'm living in
I was caught with my guard down
When the world came knocking
I feel the big beat, the rock of life
Big beat talk to me
I feel the back beat, the rock of life
Waking up blind with the house on fire
Is it something in my head (look up)
Or the time of season
Or the little boy in my hands (must be a reason)
Yeah, there's new meaning in my life (a shake-up)
But there's pain and confusion
And i'm trying to understand (all of the changes)
I've been cut so deep but i can't make it bleed
I was caught with my head in the sand
When the world came knocking
I feel the big beat, the rock of life
Big beat talk to me
I feel the back beat, the rock of life
It ain't no perfect life
This one i'm living in
And i was caught with my guard down
When the world came knocking
I feel the big beat, the rock of life
Big beat talk to me
I feel the back beat, the rock of life

3. _ Woman
And i say no (no), no more, i can't see you again
But i don't know if i mean it
I don't know if i just pretend
I make up my mind the feeling's dead
But who's fooling who inside my head
And i know that i had the feeling
That something's wrong
It's been out of my control for much too long
I always seem to want to fall in love
With the iron hand inside the velvet glove
But it feels too good
Oh woman, i need you (do you want me to beg)
I lost my pride long ago (and you know it)
Oh woman, i love you (when you take me to bed)
My private beatings never show
Woman when you make love you close your eyes
(and i get any closer to the mystery)
Oh woman, i need you (you must be the one)
Don't cut me free 'cause i can't be myself
The voices say (stand up), i wish that i could
I feel the nail being driven in
But there's something about it that feels so good
You're always the talk of the town
And the town won't shut up talking
'til the king is crowned
And i know that i know you like it, hard and tough
There's a lot of heat and spark, but that's not enough
The actor wants to skip the final scene
Tho' the keys are in the getaway machine
I just can't go
Oh woman, i need you (do you want me to beg)
I lost my pride long ago (and you know it)
Oh woman, i love you (when you take me to bed)
My private beatings never show
Woman when you make love you close your eyes
(and i get any closer to the mystery)
Oh woman, i need you (you must be the one)
Don't cut me free 'cause i can't be myself
And i know that i get the feeling
There's something wrong
It's been out of my control for much too long
I always seem to want to fall in love
With the iron hand inside the velvet glove
But it feels so good
Oh woman, i need you (do you want me to beg)
I lost my pride long ago (and you know it)
Oh woman, i love you (when you take me to bed)
My private beatings never show
Woman when you make love you close your eyes
(and i get any closer to the mystery)
Oh woman, i need you (you must be the one)
Don't cut me free 'cause i can't be myself

4. _ Soul To Soul
Someone along the way derailed your train
And i'm having a real hard time
Getting any love thru your defenses
You listen to your heat but i know how well
You listen to your heart
If this is the real thing
Then i want more from you than flesh and blood
So, soul to soul
I know how it feels
Between lover to lover (we're gonna be)
So, soul to soul
Like a magnet to steel
Just like lover to lover (we're gonna be)
We don't make love so much
Have a bedroom crucifixion
Any love that you receive only seems to go skin deep
You lost the key, don't throw away the house
Tho' i love your flesh and blood
This is the real thing
And i want more from you than skin to skin
So, soul to soul
I know how it feels
Between lover to lover (we're gonna be)
So, soul to soul
Like a magnet to steel
Just like lover to lover (we're gonna be)
Somewhere there's an altar she lays herself across it
And she hands me the blade but i don't, i don't stick it in
So, soul to soul and the faithful all kneel
Every sister and brother (we're gonna be)
So, soul to soul and i wish it was real
Just like lover to lover (we're gonna be)
And if this ain't what you want
You better tell me now baby
Cause i want more from you than skin to skin
So, soul to soul
I know how it feels
Between lover to lover (we're gonna be)
So, soul to soul
Like a magnet to steel
Just like lover to lover (we're gonna be)
Somewhere there's an alter she lays herself across it
And she hands me the blade but i can't, i won't stick it in
So, soul to soul and the faithful will kneel
Every sister and brother (we're gonna be)
So, soul to soul and i wish it was real
Just like lover to lover (we're gonna be)

5. _ Honeymoon In Beirut
I wake up every night (to the sound)
To the sound of breaking glass
Got troops in the bed
And tanks in the hall
I kidnapped and held for ransom (the one in me)
The one in me that you loved
We wait for the fall
And put emotional bullet holes in the wall
And we both, keep sending signals all is well
"wish you were here"
Honeymoon in beirut
Although i keep on sending postcards
From heaven (tell me)
Why do i stay (i don't know)
Honeymoon in beirut
And we still keep pretending
Sixes are sevens (tell me)
Why can't we say
There is no honeymoon
This is no honeymoon, no
This is no honeymoon
There is no honeymoon, no
Honeymoon in beirut
There are no peace talks pending
No quarter given (there's just)
Blood on the bed, where there used to be love
Strategy and maneuvers (have replaced)
Any love that was here
We have dinner in silence
And bullets with beer
I don't know what you want (my defeat)
Or complete surrender
Or peace in our time
While in bed we draw the battle line
And we sit, out in the rain
Writing cards to friends back home
The weather is fine
Honeymoon in beirut
Although i keep on sending postcards
From heaven (tell me)
Why do i stay (i don't know)
Honeymoon in beirut
And we still keep pretending
Sixes are sevens (tell me)
Why can't we say
There is no honeymoon
This is no honeymoon, no
This is no honeymoon
There is no honeymoon, no
And we stand out in the rain
Smiling as we sink like a stone
And hope for the end (whatever it is)
Honeymoon in beirut
Although i keep on sending postcards
From heaven (tell me)
Why do i stay (i don't know)
Honeymoon in beirut
And we still keep pretending
Sixes are sevens (tell me)
Why can't we say
There is no honeymoon
This is no honeymoon, no
This is no honeymoon
There is no honeymoon, no

6. _ Dream In Colour
You wake up to tell me (that you're numb inside, that the feelings all have died)
You're praying and you're saying (that you do believe, but i don't believe that's true)
Everything has always been there
Nothing goes away that won't come back
You're living in a house of cards
And you're blowing down the stack
She sleeps under a rainbow
She won't dream in colour
She thinks that her soul is painted
Grey or black or white
Sleeping under a rainbow
She could dream in colour
Dream in colour tonight
Glass mirror, look in (i know it's hard to see, when the one you free is you)
Sleep walking, high talking (but the colours aren't real and the things you feel don't last)
You sit there looking at the sunrise
Not knowing if the day has come or gone
Wondering why it turns you off
When it never turns you on
She sleeps under a rainbow
She won't dream in colour
She thinks that her soul is painted
Grey or black or white
Sleeping under a rainbow
She could dream in colour
Dream in colour tonight
Picking at the lock on the front door
Pulling at the shutters on the windows
But you're living in a house of shadows
Even though you're lonely you think it's you
Sitting at that table set for one
You're waiting for the guest that never comes
She sleeps under a rainbow
She won't dream in colour
She thinks that her soul is painted
Grey or black or white
Sleeping under a rainbow
She could dream in colour
Dream in colour tonight

7. _ One Reason (to Believe)
Lighting candles in the church of my choice
Loving strangers in the dark
Looking for someone to give me what i lack
Searching for something 'til you showed me
The gun in my back
I'm human and i need it
And i must have my beliefs
I open myself to the love (yea)
I love you 'cause you showed me
A merciful release
I'm living this time and i know you gave
Me the reason
One reason (to believe), one reason (you're the one)
One reason (to believe), one reason (my baby)
One reason (it's all i need), one reason (to believe)
Trying to get faith from the $8.50 paperbacks
Hoping they'll show me the way (the way to what)
Man in a crisis, a young girl in his bed
She's trying to help him when she tells him
It's all in his head
I'm human and i need it
I must have my beliefs
I open myself to the love (yea)
I love you 'cause you showed me
A merciful release
I'm living this time and i know you gave
Me the reason
One reason (to believe), one reason (you're the one)
One reason (to believe), one reason (my baby)
One reason (it's all i need), one reason (to believe)
I bow to the east or i kneel to the west
It's a matter of faith
I'm the only one who has to believe it
One reason (to believe), one reason (you're the one)
One reason (to believe), one reason (my baby)
One reason (it's all i need), one reason (to believe)
I bow to the east or i kneel to the west
It's a matter of faith
I'm the only one who has to believe it
One reason (to believe), one reason (you're the one)
One reason (to believe), one reason (my baby)
One reason (it's all i need), one reason (to believe)

8. _ Hold Onto Your Dream
You always felt you had a destiny (yeah)
You wouldn't bow down to the gods
Of money and power, baby
You burned bright to shed your light all over the world
You had a plan and it was just a matter of time now
Here today, what happened to that dream
Don't tell me it's over
I still smell the fire
Stand up and hold on to your dream
Maybe this is your moment
Stand up and hold on to your dream
You know no one can take it
There is a path it's always been yours
And you have the right of passage
Signed in blood and sealed in tears
Sending you a message
Across the miles and thru the years
Stand up (and be there) and hold on to your dream
With some faith and conviction (some faith and conviction)
Take a good look, you don't like what you see, (no)
You just don't come this far and never get scarred, baby
It all seemed like fate
The big dreams weren't hard to make way back then
Something pure about that suffer for art, passion and pain
Standing here
What happened to those dreams
Don't tell me they're over
While your heart is still beating
Stand up and hold on to your dream
Maybe this is your moment
Stand up and hold on to your dream
You know no one can take it
There is a path it's always been yours
And you have the right of passage
Signed in blood and sealed in tears
Sending you a message
Across the miles and thru the years
Stand up (and be there) and hold on to your dream
With some faith and conviction (some faith and conviction)

9. _ If You Think You're Groovy
Now i can tell you how i feel
A broken heart is this for real
There's still so much for me to do
And to know
And to be and to feel
If you think you're groovy
You don't even move me
There's no denying
If you dare to be true
In my dreams i dreamt for two
My dreams were real but where were you
And now my dreams have all been changed
Rearranged there's room for two
But not for you
If you think you're groovy
You don't even move me
There's no denying
If you dare to be true
Oh you made me feel so real
Baby how i used to feel
Now i know what it's all about
Honey i found out (i found out) i found out
(i found out) i found out and i
Wanted to tell you
If you think you're groovy
You don't even move me
There's no denying
If you dare to be true

10. _ Tear It All Down
I walk thru the streets of my old town
Trying to remember all the feelings
But the only feeling was that something
Sweet had come and gone for everyone
There's factories in the fields where we used to run
There's a hard day coming for us daughters and sons
Wake up, some things had better change
Tear it all down and starting here and now
Let it all burn, so many souls in pain
Tear it all down, too many hearts in doubt
We're never gonna learn
All of the treasures we own
God bless the house, the car and the t.v.
They built us a prison without any locks
And meanwhile the men who claim god on their side
Spit out their message and sell me a ride
While we look for idols inside a fashion magazine
Things are gonna change
Tear it all down and starting here and now
Let it all burn, so many souls in pain
Tear it all down, too many hearts in doubt
We're never gonna learn, there's a wall to keep us in
Tear it all down, and walls to keep us out
Let it all burn, too many souls in pain
Tear it all down, too many hearts in doubt
We're never gonna learn
Lying naked here in the shrine of your embrace (your embrace)
We touch the burning cauldron to your angel face (angel face)
I look at my boy as he sleeps
An innocent facing the lions
I wish there was some way i could talk to my father again
There's a bomb in the schoolhouse
Wired to the face of the clock
In the face of disaster we stand like a rock
You can't want you're children to pay for your sins wake up
Some things are gonna change
Tear it all down, some things are gonna fall
Tear it all down, we can't go back again
Tear it all down, with backs against the wall
Tear it all down, there's a wall to keep us in
Tear it all down, there's a wall to keep us out
Let it all burn, too many souls in pain
Tear it all down, too many hearts in doubt
Tear it all down, some things are gonna fall
Tear it all down, we can't go back again
Tear it all down, with backs against the wall
Tear it all down, there's a wall to keep us in
Tear it all down, there's a wall to keep us out
Let it all burn, too many souls in pain
Tear it all down, too many hearts in doubt
