All You Need Is Now

To the voyer
Seated in the darkened room
Do you thrill
When the green light starts pulsing

Paranoia
The only valid point of view
If you know what I'm saying

I'm not alone
Being followed
Someone always watching what we do
Never alone
But I'm in the shadows
I dream things I don't want you to know

Something shifting
Between the sirens and the glow
Of red lights
And the blue slowly turning

A fog is lifting
A silhouette begins the show
Then the moment is stolen

I'm not alone
Being followed
Someone always watching what we do
Never alone
But I'm in the shadows
I dream things I don't want you to know

(La la la la la la la la)
(La la la la la la la la)
(La la la la la la la la)

In this chamber
Lit by scandal
Your the bullet
In the barrel
Your the last thing
As I'm falling
Bloody roaring
Still I'm calling out
I'm calling out

I'm not alone
Being followed
Never alone
I'm being followed
I'm not alone
Being followed
Never alone
I'm being followed
La la la la la la la

A stormy summer
Is rolling closer
Lighting up this holy smoker
And if this drinking
Could ease the thinking
I toast to my home truth with this glass

All rise you promises broken
Call my lovers by their names
Lost hearts and words
That are spoken to the wind
Which blows before the rain

Little pin-pricks
And how my ears bleed
On the bomb ticks that is my heartbeat
In every life-flash
In every car crash
I hear the silence waiting to fall

All rise you promises broken
Call my lovers by their names
Lost hearts and words
That are spoken to the wind
Which blows before the rain

For all I carry
Are murdered secrets
The price of my blue
Star-eyed weakness
And so we travel
And we unravel
Towards the place
Where all loose ends go

All rise you promises broken
Call my lovers by their names
Lost hearts and words
That are spoken to the wind
Which blows before the rain

People say you've been around
How about you and me get down
How about you and me get down
Baby I know you've been around
Unmake your bed
Don't think about what lies ahead
Don't you wanna be misled
Don't you wanna be misled

Fame
Seems a far-off day
When enough was never enough
Vain
How I played my hand
One more reckless man in the rough
Strange
How we explain
The story that we've lived through
Change
My karma train
The person I can be for you is

Safe
(Safe, in the heat of the moment)
A stillness that comes to me
When I'm close to you
Safe
(Safe, at the speed of atonement)
A feeling that runs so deep
That it scares me, too

Dazed
By my own escape
From the single state I was used to
Face
My catch twenty two
Can I stay this way if I choose to
Wrong
To be so contained
Now I can't explain
What is happening
Strong
Is the human chain
As it pulls me through
What I bring to you is

Safe
(Safe, in the heat of the moment)
A stillness that comes to me
When I'm close to you
Safe
(Safe, at the speed of atonement)
A feeling that runs so deep
That it scares me, too
Safe
(Safe, in the heat of the moment)
A stillness that comes to me
When I'm close to you
Safe
(Safe, at the speed of atonement)
A feeling that runs so deep
That it scares me, too

(Fame
Seems a far-off day
When enough was never enough
Vain
How I played my hand
One more reckless man in the rough)

Hook a finger wink an eye
Caresses running up your thigh
Scratch my surface dig in deep
There's always secrets left to keep
Safe not sound
Who made these rules
Crowd control for enlightened fools
So come on boy let's change the pace
Come, feel the chill of my embrace
People say you've been around
How about you and me get down
How about you and me get down
Baby I know you've been around
Unmake your bed
Don't think about what lies ahead
Don't you wanna be misled
Don't you wanna be misled

Safe
(Safe, in the heat of the moment)
A stillness that comes to me
When I'm close to you
Safe
(Safe, at the speed of atonement)
A feeling that runs so deep
That it scares me, too
Safe
(Safe, in the heat of the moment)
A stillness that comes to me
When I'm close to you
Safe
(Safe, at the speed of atonement)
A feeling that runs so deep
That it scares me, too.

Do you know where we are?
I'm longing for the dark
Of our nocturnal life
It begins and ends with you
Don't spill my secret

[Chorus]
You were once running wild hiding in the morning mist
Game in bonds - I make you mine
I thought that I could resist
But the leopard in you, silently, preyed on me

I made my way back home (did you follow her)
I handled her with care (quiet and controlled)
So elegant and sleek (when I'm not afraid)
I need her to be near (does she belong to you?)
Don't spill my secret

[Chorus]

Deserted by my friends (don't they understand?)
She so much more than them (how could they compare?)
So now she's just for me (no one else can say)
I watch her while she sleeps? (for sure she naps on you)?
Don't spill my secret

(It's been quite a while)
(Since we were last outside can't lie I'll miss the chance)
(Now that we both partake can silence kill the cat?)
(Prisoners of our thoughts? the smell will throw us out?)
(Don't spill my secret)

"Today a man was taken from his apartment
On the New Jersey shore and arrested
Under suspicion of entrapment of a wild animal.
Police, after forced entry,
Discovered a caged leopard in the building!
The fully grown feline was said
To be surprisingly domesticated?
Before preparing her for relocation.
A large crowd is gathered outside
To watch the beautiful creature as a giant
Cage was lowered slowly onto the street by a crane.
From here, the leopard
Was transferred into the back of a truck
For the journey ahead. A thoughtful
Onlooker said it's extraordinary to think
That any human being could have
Lived so?silently? with such a dangerous animal.
Police are saying the captive has simply befriended?
The creature and barely left her side.
It's alleged that he hunted her in the wild
And expertly forged documents to facilitate
Her illegal export to the United States of America.
The incident has already created much controversy
And is now likely to lead to a major international investigation
Into the life of the man who stole a leopard."
