unknown

When will you touch the sky. will you stop to wonder why. excitement is your pain. while i am helpless once again. take it out on me. if it makes you feel. that once again you're free. don't try
Ang me on. this rope of greed. this rope i feed you. 'cos if i'm hanging on. you won't be there to watch me bleed over you. your eyes reveal your tale. when silence scares your words away. you only turn to me. when it becomes too hard to see. take it out on me. if it makes you feel. that once again you're free. don't try to hang me on. this rope of greed. this rope i feed you. 'cos if i'm hanging on. you won't be there to watch me bleed over you.

I can't take no more
I'm so tired of running in somebody else's shoes
What's it all been for
What's the use of paying for somebody else's dues

I've been on the road for someone else's dreams
Now i'm trying to find my way back again
It's time to break some rules
And stop before the fire in me cools

Chorus:
I got my way
Of getting through to you
And i'm going back where no one's been before
Some day
I'll show you something new
I've got my way
To try and wipe the tears from my eyes

I'm half scared to death
Think i'm right but what if i'm wrong
I've got one shot left
The door is open now but not long
The room's full of faces that i've never seen
Like a million pair of eyes looking down
The smoke is blinding me
But i can still see my destiny

Chorus:
I got my way
Of getting through to you
And i'm going back where no one's been before
Some day
I'll show you something new
I've got my way
Of trying to wipe the tears from my eyes

(repeat chorus and fade)

You got my pride
Hanging outta my bed
You messin' with my life
So i bought my lead
Even messin' with my children
And you're screaming at my wife baby
Get off my back
If ya wanna get outta here alive

Freedom ¡º that's what i want now
Freedom ¡º that's what i need now
Freedom ¡º to live
Freedom ¡º so i can give

You got my heart
Speak electric water
You got my soul
Screamin' and hollerin'
You know you hooked my girlfriend
You know the drugstore man
Well i don't know her now
I'm tryin' to slam it out of her hand

Freedom ¡º so i can live
Freedom ¡º so i can give
Freedom ¡º yeah!
Freedom ¡º that's what i need

You don't have to say that you love me
If you don't mean it you better believe
If you need me or you just wanna bleed me
Better stick in you dagger in someone else

When i became of age
My momma sat me down
She said, son you've grown up
It's time to look around
So i began to notice some things i
Hadn't seen before
That's what brought me hope
Knockin' on your back door

A closet queen, the worst i've seen
She wants to shake my hand
I don't want to be there
When she decides she can
It's apple dan, he's just the man
To pick fruit off your branches
I can't sleep if he can't keep
His cattle off my ranches

It's too strong, something's wrong
And i guess i lost the feeling
I don't mind the games you play
But i don't like you dealing
The cards look bad, my luck's been had
And there's nothin' left to smoke
Will all be back tomorrow
For the punch line of the joke

No place left to hide
Fire and smoke on all sides
And you can't tell the sky
From the skeletons, anymore
But there's no time to wait to be saved
The wasteland will spread like the plague
And you'll wind up in somebody's cage
Without a door
Could've been me or you
But if the foot fits the shoe
It just might be a deadly dance

Paint your face
Pound your drum
But don't forget
To load the gun
Say your prayer
And drink your wine
But never let
Them see you cry

And so how will you know
When compromise offers no hope
Take a tip from that tv show
And head for the hills
Cause it's not like there's something to lose
It's only the truth
And it hasn't exactly been used
And it never will
This is not something strange
Don't expect it to change
And everything will be just fine

Does it matter if it works out as planned. when the author is the pen in your hand. when your mind does what you don't understand. remember that a sentiment changes every day. as every sun leave
Dows, arrows pointing every way. hey, look around, this is you. don't you worry 'cos it's fine to be confused. when you're questioning your fate. in time, you will see. all that makes you who you are, will become so clear to you. and don't you love the things you hate. life will give its gift if we don't hesitate. some see the paper, then throw the present away. if you feel you're dying and the clock just makes you wait. time may find us in tomorrow looking for today. hey look around, this is you. don't you worry 'cos it's fine to be confused. when you're questioning your fate. in time, you will see. all that makes you who you are, will become so clear to you. you should love the things you hate.

I've seen that look
A look i know well
I can't decide
If this is heaven or this is hell
Inside your mind
That twisted device
Made up of fire
But it comes across like ice

I need to know what you're thinkin'
And why you are here
If you had power
Who would make you disappear

Laughing without smiling
I can't take no more
Dancin' in the madness
With the rope you twist that's around my neck
You know you're making me feel
Like a cancelled check

Chorus:

I said hey, you
I'm steppin' on top of your world
(i'm steppin' on top)
(i'm steppin' on top)
Hey you
I'm steppin' on top of your world

Warped by the curse
You're puttin' on me
I lay awake at night
And revenge is all i see
Time's runnin' out
But what should i do
It seems like the worst
Just ain't good enough for you
There's talkin', there's doin'
There's writing
Of things you don't know
The story's the same
But the answer is always unknown

Trying to remember
What i've done to you
You don't even know me
With the rope that you twist
That's around my neck
You know you're making me feel
Like a cancelled check

(repeat chorus 2x)
(solo)
(chorus and fade)

Just silence, from the thunder
The reflection of a life
Can't reveal the light inside
But it's no wonder
Never took the chance to say
For whatever reasons why
Good intentions aren't enough
Can't afford to put them off anymore
But there's nothing to do to make it right
Cause the path of our fate won't be turned aside
Can't expect anyone to understand
But the answer is in your hands

Cuz it's borrowed time
When's the dime running out
Yes it's borrowed time
Just so much life
Without a doubt
Only borrowed time
Who decides, i wonder why
I can't say goodbye

Daylight casts my shadow like the rest
Cause the world keeps going on
And i know that from beyond
You feel my helplessness
But if you were standing here
You would laugh about my fears
Like you always did before
You demanded nothing else
Than you ever save yourself
So what am i frightened for
You were the one
To lead the way
Never fooled by the lights
That lead us all astray
And the last one to think
The worst of things
Doesn't change what
Tomorrow brings

(chorus)

I was born as me alone
Isolation far from home
I was nurtured in the light
Mother's milk pure and white
I was told of a secret
To close my eyes
Fall into velvet

What i fear
This childhood dream
Must be real
I can feel it
Now i understand
This comfort of man
Take my hand
Fall into velvet

(cindy)
You can touch where you've never been touched
See further than you've ever seen
Fall into velvet

I was touched by those who know
Of this power to fly alone
As the path will twist and wind
Leave for others, as we find
So the future may collect
Close their eyes
Fall into velvet

What i fear
This childhood dream
Must be real
I can feel it
Now i understand
This comfort of man
Take my hand
Fall into velvet
Fall into velvet

(cindy)
Fall into the spirale circle
Life supplies the mind's survival
(repeat 2x)

I stand at the window
Looking out, looking out at the grey
After getting up and reading the paper today
Sometimes i just want to crawl back in bed
Pull the covers over my eyes
This world is so full of trouble
All the war planes in the sky

Chorus:
And it looks like rain
Can't you hear the thunder
And it looks like rain
Don't it make you wonder

Killers make the front page
Good deeds go unnoticed
Seems like, like there's no change
No matter what the vote is
It used to be we were
All looking out for everybody else
But now it seems the only law is
Every man for himself

(chorus)

And it looks like rain
Can't you hear the thunder
It looks like rain
Don't it make you

And it looks like rain
Falling down my eyes
It looks like rain
Don't you wonder why

I hear, hear it pounding
In the courtrooms and halls
I hear, hear it sounding
Through these paper-thin walls
I can hear people lying under oath
Lovers breaking their vows
I don't want to give up hope
Is it too late now

Chorus:

And it looks like rain
Can't you hear the thunder
It looks like rain
Don't it make you

And it looks like rain
Falling down my eyes
It looks like rain
Don't you wonder why

And it looks like rain
Can't you hear the thunder
It looks like rain
Don't it make you

It looks like rain

(repeat chorus and fade)

Blue eyes, black skies and clouds filled with pain. disguise the emptiness, the disdain. late calls, long halls with words no one hears. reveals the loneliness and the years. like going backward
A revolving door. i don't know which way's out anymore. i can't run from the real truth. and not be living a lie. you can't hide from the fate chasing you. and watch it, from somebody else's eyes. cold hearts, cruel thoughts can destroy the faith. just ask the singer who hell from grace. but things change and strange days can turn a point of view. just time till everyone gets their due. i may not save the world but i'll save myself. can't depend on somebody else.

Of rags and bones. rusty old wheels on a cobblestone street. everything i own. follows me round like a ghost that won't leave me alone. even sticks and stones. can't leave a mark on this spirit
Eel. have you really grown. when you come back bleeding from your love torn battles. wish i could feel bad for you. or sympathize after all i've been through. i'm not as strong as i seem. while your heart is beating. i've got this broken machine. those days have gone. took so long just to pick myself up, and try to walk alone. no more afraid to let the sun stare at my face. see what you have done. nuts, bolts and parts of dark days of broken dreams. take so long to replace. as for your falling apart at the seams. wish i could feel bad for you. or sympathize after all i've been through. how come you're not as you seem. you've got your problems. your self-esteem. wish i could feel bad for you. or feel anything after all i've been through. i'm not as strong as i seem. while your heart is beating. i've got this broken
Machine.

This town has got me running scared
We're running out of time girl
Slogans painted everywhere
Messin' up my dream world

I'm trying to make it on my own
Find it all by myself
I can take the overflow,
Could've been me or you
Just like somebody else

I ain't going anywhere
Without you by my side girl
Someone like you comes around just one time
Even the weakest of hearts will survive

Chorus:
With a second chance
I know we can make it girl
With a second chance
Love will last forever

Breathing in this filthy air
Is tearing me in two girl
I hear the sirens every night
Like echoes in a cruel world

Nothing that i say or do
Seems to matter at all
Everyone is so confused that's why i had to call

Just hearing you across the line
Is good enough for me girl
Someone like you comes around just one time
Even the weakest of hearts will survive

Chorus:
With a second chance
I know we can make it girl
With a second chance
Love will go on forever

Someone like you comes around just one time
Even the weakest of hearts will survive

With a second chance
I know we can make it girl
With a second chance
Love will last forever

(repeat chorus and fade)

A razor's edge
The speed of your thoughts
A heart as black as coal
A sudden change
A painted-on smile
A woman with no soul

Dancin' on the edge of my dreams
Dealin' with your mixed up scenes
Darlin' don't you know what i mean
Save me from this pain

Twist the knife
Turn it around
Twistin' my life away
Twist the knife
Turn it around
Oh-oh

A liar's dream
A piece of your heart
Don't really mean a thing
Scream right out loud
You're feeling' my pain
See what your fantasy brings

Dancin' on the edge of my dreams
Dealin' with your mixed up scenes
Darlin' don't you know what i mean
Save me from this pain

(repeat chorus 4x)

Twist the knife
Twist the knife
Twist the knife
Keep on twistin'

World of fear
Dying sun
Amber tears
Wars to be won
World grown old
Lost to man
All alone
All but forgotten
Same extinction blues
You've heard before the
Same old news
You and i
Last chance
Age of ice
Frozen romance
Time repeats
Death to life
Heartbeats
Save us tonight
Same extinction blues

It's great to be optimistic
And look at the world
Through rose colored eyes
Tell you what not to wish for
Mountains don't move
When you want them to
Same extinction blues
You've heard before
The same old news
Extinction blues

Night after night, day after day. i pass by the house that once was our home. i look through the windows, i lean on the bell. there's a light but there's no sign of you. the stranger's new car i
Driveway tells me your there. i know you're there. i feel like a chump doing time on the street. low life and useless as the rags on my feet showin' through. you don't know how much i hate everything about you. your honey red lips and your eyes big and sparkling blue. the curve of your hips and your black irish hair. sends a shiver that runs through me too. you don't know how much i hate you, wish it was true. the alleys are dark, sidewalks are bare. time's on my hands empty and cold. i'm looking for something to knock out the night. till the sun comes up shining like new. the chill in my bones reminds me life isn't fair. and nobody cares. to the lost souls surviving on hard knocks and vice. in a world just as nasty as your world is nice. (baby blue). you don't know how much i hate everything about you. your voic
E like good bourbon so elegant, tasteful and smooth. you're a goddess, a priestess, a temptress, a queen. greta garbo's got nothing on you. you don't know how much i hate you, wish it was true. you were kind to my brother. and good to my friends. you were passionate, faithful and strong. i must have been sleeping. it feels like a dream. i can't tell just where i went wrong. like a dog in the garbage with rocks in my head. i'm strung out and crazy and can't find the thread, running through. you don't know how much i hate everything about you. the poison that runs through my veins telling me what to do. with a flick of a match i could burn down this house. taking every last memory of you. you don't know how much i hate you. i say, you don't know how much i hate you. you don't know how much i hate you. i wish it was true. oh, yes i do.
