1. _ Lets Take A Lifetime
Say no more,
If you want to kiss goodnight,
That's alright by me.
Close your door,
Make sure the latch is tight,
Fall gently to sleep.
We don't have to rush ahead,
Putting questions in your head,
And an ache in your heart,
Let's take a lifetime,
All that we desire,
Build it day by day into forever.
Let's take a lifetime,
All that you require,
Here and now and ever.
In these times,
Love is not some harmless game,
It's played strictly for keeps.
No, it's no crime,
Wanting me to feel the same,
With the water so deep.
Come tomorrow once again,
We'll be together until then,
We've dreaming to do.
Let's take a lifetime,
All that you desire.
Build it day by day into forever
Let's take a lifetime,
All that you require.
Here and now and lasting ever more.
So hard to leave you standing there in the light,
You look so lovely.
If we must ....
No use tempting fate.
Repeat chorus out.

2. _ The Pull
Summertime came too soon,
Summers in kansas often do.
And the air was still,
I felt the pull.
I recall the heat rising from the ground in a way.
And i knew i was the first to pass this way.
I believe i step across some line,
Or i stumble through the doorway in space and time,
Like a drunk who blacks out from the wine,
Never remembers his name.
Always feel so alone,
Wherever i am i feel the pull,
And the life i've left behind the pull.
And in case i have no future, i've got the past
There's no telling just how long this play will last.
I believe i step across some line,
Or i stumble through the doorway in space and time,
Like a drunk who blacks out from the wine,
Never remembers his name,
Never remembers.
I'm down, walking through a storm.
I hear a voice inside, crying,
It calls my name like a judge accusing,
Black robe hanging down, whoah,
Don't forget be brave about your love.
Well i walk across the murky room,
And there's flashes in my eyes,
I don't know what i'm doin'.
Like a drunk who blacks out from the wine,
Never remembers his name.
Like a drunk who blacks out from the wine,
Never remembers his name,
Never remembers his name,
I never remember my name.

3. _ Mah Jong
A third floor walk-up...
One block east of chinatown.
She walked by my window,
While the rain is pouring down.
Looking in she sees the easy money life everywhere
And it's clear she don't approve.
(and it's clear she don't approve)
Through a cloud of smoke i shoot a little smile over there.
And i .........
She don't mah jong, mah jong she don't play.
She don't mah jong, wait she don't let me wait.
She don't mah jong, mah jong she don't play.
But she loves to play ....
With the dark eyes burning,
I am opening the wall.
Can there be no other chance?
I feel my fortune's turning,
And i wish for nothing else at all.
Looking up i see her signal with her fingers through her hair
Telling me the hands are clean.
On the .......... i turn a dragon tail into a pair.
And the game is over.
She don't mah jong, mah jong she dont play.
She don't mah jong, wait she don't let me wait.
She don't mah jong, mah jong she don't play.
Though i don't obey her,
Still she loves to play her
(repeat chorus)
A tree blows up
From where the lanterns light the parlors on the street
.... waiting at the .....
And though there are not many things a pawn would ....
I'll beat.
We enjoyed the difference.
She don't mah jong, mah jong she don't play

4. _ Plaid
Some will say it's too late,
So don't change the story.
There's too much at stake to grow.
Yesterday was so great,
Just bask in the glory.
Don't let your feelings show.
And i say,
"oh yeah" like a man with condition
I wait for my heart to stop.
Stay down,
Got a plan hold that position.
You can't afford a flop.
Pack my suitcase
With my game face,
Take the same place,
And put away the dreams i had.
Let my hair grow,
Find some old clothes,
Let the world know
That my glory days were plaid.
I'm not asking for permission,
Are you ready for me to be me.
Just pass the ammunition,
This prisoner's about to bust free from chains.
For so long you told me to keep it familiar,
Just play what they all would find,
I can wear this blindfold, stick to your story,
But i gotta ask myself why.
And i play, ..., goes on
For so many seasons,
Til i'm sure i'm losing my mind.
And i say, oh no,
Gotta have a much better reason
To leave all my dreams behind.
Strangers,
Rearrange us,
Stay the same fate,
And become your favorite fad.
With the see-through,
I gotta be true,
I can't be you.
While yes still comes in plaid.
I'm not asking for permission
Are you ready for me to be me.
Lord, pass some ammunition,
This prisoner's about to bust free from your chains.
I'm more than just excited,
Like a hundred pounds of monkey on my back.
Now everybody's divided,
We're riding this train til we run clear out of track.
Clean of track.

5. _ Sleeping In The Middle Of The Bed Again
Call it a love song,
Howl like a newborn.
Trying hard to stay warm.
..............
Edition to apocalypse,
Looking for the big hit,
..............
..............
Time after time,
I blow me away...
Sign on the streets now,
Running on the .... now.
Winter's here i believe it's here to stay.
I read somewhere that religion is for people
Who want to stay out of hell.
I was praying for a sign or a vision or a message
Til you been there you won't get well.
I was sitting in a room, i never recognized it
For the picture before my eyes.
I was sleeping in the middle of the bed again,
I'm not sure this qualifies.
Lost in a crosswalk,
Battle on the half ....
Calling cause i can't talk,
Trying til the fire caught up with me.
Flashing like a neon,
Noisy as an a-bomb.
Looking to the beyond,
Staring and laughing at eternity.
Time after time,
I blow me away,
Time on the street now.
Run like i pray now.
Winter's here i believe it's here to stay.
I read somewhere that religion is for people
Who want to stay out of hell.
I was praying for a sign or a vision or a message
Til you been there you won't get well.
I was sitting in a room,
I never recognized it for the picture before my eyes.
I was sleeping in the middle of the bed again,
I'm not sure this qualifies.
I read somewhere that religion is for people,
Who swear they need to be saved.
I'm sleeping in the middle of the bed again,
You can trust me i will be brave.

6. _ Get On This
(i wasn't to sure on the lyrics...email em if you know em!)
In the middle, of a dream
Thought i saw, sacred love supreme.
So beautiful, yet so obscene
But i'm not sure i'm sleeping.
And in a golden sun,
I saw hitler ..... angels.

I saw jesus kissing the devil.
Gonna take some time for me to
Get on this, get on this.
Gonna take an angel's kiss to
Get on this, get on this.
When i go to sleep tonight,
I must remember to close my eyes.
Saw a mother,
Take a needle.
Burning water,
Drowning the pain.
A soft spot for a ....... .......
She had a baby that had no name.
They say a day will come
When a bright light shines all around you.

Where only happiness will surround you.
Gonna take some time for me to,

Still the world.......
And in a full moon's sun,

Beside a bonfire of babylon.

7. _ All The Years
You ask me what i think,
I tell you you ignore it.
The reasons for it make me crazy.
You ask me what is right,
Huh, you never hear it.
You're never nowhere near it baby.
I spent my life believing,
It would not end this way.
All the years we wasted
All the years we tried
All the restless hours
All the times we cried.
You ask me what i want,
I got no answer.
I know i'm only dancing faster.
So now we're stuck with us,
With you and all your stories.
Who's the fool and who'd the liar.
I spent my life believing
It would not end this way.
All the years we wasted
All the years we tried.
All the restless hours.
All the times we cried.
All the years we gambled.
All the years you lied.
All the hopeless dreamers.
All the dreams that died.

8. _ Cry For The Lost
Something i forgot that i used to know
Keeps on coming back around.
Somewhere in the dark right before the dawn
Like a light from down the hall.
Suddenly some old familiar music
Songs i know i've never heard before.
I gotta play along i can't refuse it
I hear the call.
We've all been so proud of our blindness
No kindness to share
I used to cry for the lost
Until i had to turn away.
Then i looked inside, past the fool,
And found some deeper words to say
To bring us together.
We can make it better
We can make it right.
We hide behind the veil of our own success,
While we're following the rules.
Our eyes refuse to see past our little hands
To the never changing truth.
Freedom needs to speak a little louder,
Justice needs to try her other arm.
Some of us could push a little harder
To sound the alarm.
And i see children marching
And i hear the drums again
I used to cry for the lost
Until i had to turn away.
Then i looked inside, past the fool,
And found some deeper words to say.
If we hope and pray,
It will come, give it half a chance.
Everyone, understand
In our hearts and our mind,
You know there's nothing left to hide,
We're already there.
I used to cry.
Cry for the lost i was walking away.
I used to try to find a reason.
Then i looked inside,
I used to mind everytime i was walking away,
I gotta find what i'm feeling
To bring us together.

9. _ The Stone Of Sisyphus
Tomorrow is teasing me.
Time seems to run away from the future.
But this could be that lucky day.
A dream is make believe until
Blood, sweat, and tears turn pain to will.
It's gonna take some doing for me
To show them the way.
I'm gonna take the stone of sisyphus
I'm gonna roll it back to you.
Building a wall of stone.
Sometimes you know what's right
Sometimes wrong is better than nothing.
They cast a stone so heavy to turn.
I believe in a love so true.
I believe you get what's coming to you.
We get so tired of living a dream
For some other day.
I'm gonna take the stone of sisyphus
I'm gonna roll it back to you.
Wall of stone around the two of us.
That only angels can break through.
Looks like it's another of those long nights.
Will we always be alone?
Let's not stop before it's done.
I'm gonna take the stone of sisyphus
I'm gonna roll it back to you.
I'll take the stone of sisyphus.
Wall of stone round the two of us.
I'm gonna roll it back to you.

10. _ The Show Must Go On
I've been trapped in the madness,
From the shadows of sadness
I laugh it away.
I've been blind to the passion
While the whole world is flashing
I stash it away.
While i'm singing of freedom,
I'm trying to sell
What i never had.
Hoping i'll be released from my own kind of hell
Cause i lost the key to my past.
The show must go on.
It seems like there's something i'm leaving behind.
The show must go on.
Cause the dreams that i'm having,
I'm having all the time.
The show must go on.
There will be no confessions,
Cause i'd only be guessing just where to begin.
There's only one thing i'm knowing
This feeling ain't blowing
Away with the wind.
And i'm tired of turning my back on myself
Throwing truth away.
Let the fire burn down the front door to myself
And give me a season of play.
The show must go on,
I just keep pretending to live for the game.
The show must go on.
I just keep on bending the rules to fit the pain.
It's time for collecting
What i've been neglecting.
It's gonna be a little strange.
Cause one day i'll be gone,
And i'll be back in time(town?).
Nothing's gonna, nothing's gonna
Be the same.
The show must go on,
And i just keep pretending to live for your game,
The show must go on,
I just keep on bending the rules to fit the pain.
Put on the face,
Win every race,
I'm just so strong can't you see,
And i keep up the pace,
I won't leave a trace.
Of .........................
Still going on, still going on.
The show must go on,
The show must go on.

11. _ Candle For The Dark
We rode the train,
From paris to the cold atlantic shore.
The winter rain
Kept us in each others arms until the dawn,
Do you remember?
Faster than the sun,
Flying higher than everyone.
Like a dream too good to last,
I won't regret the past.
Here with me,
Deep down in my soul now and forever.
A candle for the dark, i need you
Here with me,
A story with an unexpected end.
The morning plane,
Through empty doors a mountain in the sky.
Golden chain, the autumn treetops cast
Another light.
Do you remember?
We have no common ground,
Treasure lost will not be found.
We can blame our wild at heart,
From now until the start.
Here with me,
Deep down in my soul now and forever,
A candle for the dark i need you,
Here with me,
A story with an unexpected end.
Remember feelings i have known,
And chasing dreams i've never done,
We're losing let us walk away,
Hold me in your arms before you go.
Repeat chorus...
Everywhere i go you're here with me.

12. _ Bigger Than Elvis
Come, let's talk just you & me
For once just let me be.
The little boy you used to know.
Relive that summer's bliss.
Cause they came no more like this.
Those were the days,
The days when love was still in style.
All i ever dreamed i'd be
Is what you are to me.
Bigger than elvis.
And for all the missing years,
A memory reappears.
Bigger than elvis.
I saw you on tv.
The king, you were to me.
Could you feel me watching you?
At times my heart got mad,
Only heros are allowed
To run free, that they could come back inside of me.
All i ever dreamed i'd be,
Is what you are to me.
Bigger than elvis.
And for all the missing years,
A memory reappears.
Bigger than elvis.
We know the sadness of goodbyes
Must be the one that's bringing tears to your child's eyes.
Oh, from now on i'll walk with you
Making music like you do.
Would you believe i always knew?
You were never hard to take
In some mysterious way
Bigger than elvis
And for all the missing years
Your memory reappears
Bigger than elvis.
Now i've found the missing years,
Forgotten all my tears.
I've found the missing years.
