1. _ No Way Out
No intentions
Whatsoever
I was gone for a night
Nothing's forever
The cruel daylight
Brought me back to my senses
(back to my senses)
Got caught in here
Under false pretenses
No way out
None whatever
I made up the story
Thought it was clever
She didn't ask
And i got no reply
(got no reply)
But later that night
I heard her cry
No way out
She doesn't buy my story
No way out
She doesn't buy my story
No way out
She doesn't buy my story
No accusations
None, whatever
But can she forget
Nothing's forever
Since yesterday
She's a little bit colder
(little bit colder)
Won't happen again
What could i've told her
No way out
She doesn't buy my story
No way out
She doesn't buy my story
No way out
She doesn't buy my story
Doesn't buy my story
How can she tell the truth from the lies
How does she know when to close her eyes
She doesn't want to lose me
So she only sees what she wants to see
No way out
She doesn't buy my story
No way out
She doesn't buy my story
No way out
She doesn't buy my story
No way out
No way out
No way out

2. _ Champion
Unused lyrics from lyric sheets:
And suddenly all and everything we know
Had burst into flames
Erupted in fire
In the heat of the river
In the heat of the morning sun
I saw rose
Out on the river
Staring down the city guns
She said
I am the one
I am the champion
Protector
Leader
Defender
Optimum champion
She said
I am the one
I am the only one
In the aftermath of atomic fire
I'll be your champion
Distinctly unhumble they said
That's what they called her then
But everything she touched
Seemed to turn out like magic then
And the walls
The walls of the city
They fell down like magic then
And the walls
The walls of my heart
They fell apart like magic then
She was the one
She was the number one
In this age of madness
This age of the gun
Rose was the champion
Hot war who could ask for more
Six minutes on a cold winter morning
Cold war ain't here no more
Rose, rose, take me home
Rose
Lightning rose
Carry me home
Take me home
Home home home
Nanananananananana
Nanananananananana
There is no more order
Nanananananananana (continues in the background until **)
And there is no more yale
There is no more new york
No more central park
No more walter cronkite
Duran duran
No more bruce springsteen (he bought it)
No more ray charles
Or mtv
Or rca victor
And yale is a sheet of radio-active glass thirty miles across
No more jodie foster
And there is no more california
No more moscow, or mecca, no tel aviv, or riyadh or peking or cuba no london
No washington dc
Kansas is left
They didn't touch cleveland!
And there are no more bombs
They used them all!
Not many russians left
And there no more assholes
There'll always be assholes
Why couldn't we stop it then, what did we do so wrong
And it's such a bloody drag to have to rebuild civilization all over again
**
Nananananana nananana
Nananananana nananana
There is no more order
But there is rose
And rose is your heart
And rose is love
And rose is spirit
And faith and light
Rose is friday night
And we all have rose
If we start right now
And if we sing long enough
And if we sing loudly enough
And if we sing strong enough
We can make a difference
We can make a difference
Yeah yeah yeah, she said
I'll be the one
I'll be the only one

Let there be light on this planet
And let it shine through me
Let there be travellers who venture
Far from the beaten path
And let one of them be me

3. _ Assassin
Something must be done about the lone man
Gun concealed to carry out his heart of stone plan
He is eaten up with hate
Got your attention far too late
Could you have stopped him if you'd known beforehand
He seemed like such a nice guy
To his neighbors
Kept to himself and never bothered them with favors
Nobody ever knew him
There was nobody to see through him
He was left alone to plan the death of his betrayers
Who's gonna be the hangman
Who's gonna be the judge
Who's gonna cast the first stone
Who'll settle up this grudge
It's so obvious the man is guilty
Tell me who is capable of showing any pity
Can anybody name the real assassin
No one's gonna take responsibility
How did this man come out of our society
Could our intervention
Have prevented his intention
Well you know he's gonna plead insanity
Who's gonna be the hangman
Who's gonna be the judge
Who's gonna cast the first stone
Who'll settle up this grudge
Who's gonna be the hangman
Who's gonna be the judge
Who's gonna cast the first stone
Who'll settle up this grudge
It's so obvious the man is guilty
Now tell me who is capable showing any pity
Can anybody name the real assassin
"shining in the moonlight" (1984), "nuclear furniture".
3:28 (music: craig chaquico, lyrics: mickey thomas, craig chaquico)
I can feel the heat rising up inside of me
I can still remember how her warm touch made me feel
And thinking of that night
In the light of the moon
The feeling never fades
It ended too soon
Stranded in a broken dream
Holding onto fantasies
Lookin' for the magic there
In her eyes
Shining in the moonlight
Looking for love
Shining in the moonlight
Looking for young love
Shining in the moonlight
But i'm still alone
A victim of that night
For eternity
Drifting like a summer wind
Her memory inside of me
Stranded in a broken dream
Holding onto fantasies
Lookin' for the magic there
Try to find it - in her eyes
Whoaaohh
Shining in the moonlight
Looking for love
Shining in the moonlight
Lookin' for young love
Shining in the moonlight
Shining in the moonlight
Shining in the moonlight
Shining in the moonlight
Shining in the moonlight

4. _ Showdown
They walk with their arms away from their sides
Cause it's all in the timing
Who wins the fight
All around them the signs are clear
It's gone too far
Now the showdown is here
Showdown is here
Hungry dogs follow
And the vultures lead
Self-preservation
The original greed
But there's too much fire
For the perfect match
Now it's just a matter of the first attack
Which one is right
That's no longer clear
Anger has no light
When it's covered with fear
Never turn your back
That's always when you're caught
You're a dead man on the rack
'cause you're just too proud to stop
Absolute quiet is the final warning - showdown
Six minutes and the war is roaring -showdown
The voice of reason was buried this morning -showdown
Decision for death is the final story -showdown
We used to love it when they came on the scream
The good guys strong
And the bad guys mean
But the story has changed
Now the ending's insane
The audience dies
In the final frame
It's the final game
Now both sides are gone
No funerals
No priests
No crowds singing songs
No heroes in the streets
Both sides were wrong
Just too stubborn to teach
And it was just too long
Before enough people had the courage to speak
And say
No showdown
No showdown
No showdown
They walk with their arms away from their sides
Will the ones who are left
Still say they are right?

5. _ Connection
Unused lyrics at beginning of lyric sheet:
Warm.....round the hunting fire
Wrapped in the robes of the dead warrior
Protected from ferocious winds
Under the shield of the dead gladiator
Standing in the darkness of this stagecraft
All is black i cannot see your faces i need
Light i want to see your eyes
Let my voice wash over your faces
Connection
Connection
Whoaa ohhh
A hundred thousand years ago
People livin' in bone white cities
Comin' and goin' on streets of silver
Talkin' future history
Then something very strong went wrong
And suddenly
People gathered round the hunting fires
(huddled in caves like animal, not human)
Round the warmth of the late night fire
Cities gone, memories fading
Spend their lives round the late night fire
Give their souls to the hunting fire
Seeking each other's company
Tryin' to remember ancient history
They lost connection
They lost contact
They need to touch you
Reach out across the ages and touch you
Meanwhile somewhere in the 20th century
A young girl named phoebe caulfield
Plops herself down on the sofa
Pops open a soda and watches you
She likes to watch murderer talk
She likes to see them on my tv
She likes to watch them how they walk
She likes to hear what they say
It's like a car crash
Bloody fascination
You wonder how they get their shoes tied
Sit and stare at the horror there
She knows you watch them too
Stranglers, murderers, snipers, terrorists
Political assassins, crazy ones, cool ones
All them looking for
Connection
They lost contact
They lost direction
They need sexual, mystical
Magical, uninterrupted, peter gabriel like
Contact
Here i am
Again inside
This darkness
All is black
I cannot see your future
Give me light
I want to see your eyes
Just a little light
Inside your future
A small connection
Connection
Ah!!!!
I'd like to see jesus and mohammad
On the road to damascus
What did you think they would say
Would they fight with knives clenched in their teeth
Like jews and arabs today
Or would they walk and speak
Like philosophers and thinkers
Amused at each other's insights
Relishing the brain waves there
Round the warmth of the hunting fire
Eager for, hungry for
They got to have
You know they love
Connection
Contact
Communion
And let our two great religions
Cease their senseless struggle
It only hurts the children
Connection
Connection

6. _ Sorry Me, Sorry You
It's so easy
When love is new
Magic feeling
In everything you do
But we get careless
And make each other cry
Oh, what a waste
Just to let love die
Let's give it one more try
You say you're sorry
I'm sorry too
Sorry me
Sorry me, sorry you
The fire is low
But the ashes burn
Getting near the point
Of no return
Out on the edge
Such a dangerous place to be
When darkness falls
And you got no way to see
Don't turn away from me
You say you're sorry
I'm sorry too
Sorry me
Sorry me, sorry you
Now it's over
We've reached the end
Time has come
To start again
You say you're sorry
I'm sorry too
Sorry me
Sorry me, sorry you
You say you're sorry
I'm sorry too
Sorry me
Sorry me, sorry you

7. _ Magician
He said
You will look right into my eyes
Repeat every word that i say
You want some magic in your life
My love is the only way
Magician
Magician
Ohh magician
Magician
His body moves behind my eyes
Obsession grows
It's a private show
Magic man with a sleight of hand
Disappearing right into my soul
Magician
Magician
Ohh magician
Magician
Whoaa whoaa ohh
He's here again
That magic man
My eyes won't turn away
Just like magnets pull me in
I can't forget his face
Magician
Magician
Ohh magician
Magician
Whoaa whoaa ohh
Whoaa whoaa ohh
I walk right up and said
Take me take me take me
No pride no shame, enchanted
Call it a dream but don't wake me
Magician
Magician
Ohh magician
Magician
No matter how fast he goes
Feels like slow motion
Hypnotize me frame by frame
Caught in my own dream paradise frozen
Magician
Magician
Ohh magician
Magician
Whoaaa ohhh

8. _ Rose Goes To Yale
Unused lyrics from lyric sheet:
...and there in the dawn of the nuclear twilight
In the heart of the glowing city
She stood
Pen in hand
Lalalalalalala
Lalalalalala
Lalalalalalala
Lalalalalala
Go and find rose and ask her 'bout order
Go and find rose and ask her 'bout yale
There is no more yale (yaaaaaa!)
There is no more order (yaaaaaay!)
I was out on the river
And in the darkness before me
In the light of the domed city
I saw rose lightning rose
She wasn't perfect
But she was semi-perfect
And she remembered all about her days in yale
Before they turned it into a sheet
Of radio-active glass
Thirty miles across
And i always used to want to think if we could sing
Loudly enough
If we could sing strong enough
And if we could sing
Hopefully enough
Then all of this madness would disappear
And if we could sing
Long enough
If we could sing strong enough
And if we could sing true enough
It might carry us through next year
Lalalalalalala
Lalalalalala
Lalalalalalala
Lalalalalala
Go and find rose and ask about nuclear
Go and find rose and ask her "what now?"
She'll tell you 'bout future
She'll tell you 'bout how to live beyond the pale
When the time comes...seize it
When the dream starts....believe in it
When the light shines...oh, bathe in it
And now we'll have to be
Strong enough
Have to work long enough
And if we believe
True enough
Then much of this madness'll disappear
I'll be the one
She said
I'll be the only one
In the aftermath of atomic fire
I'll carry us through next year
Lalalalalalala
Lalalalalala
Lalalalala
Unused lyrics from lyric sheet:
What if the world was turned around
What if nuclear plants worked
What if nuclear bombs didn't
What if they held nuclear disarmament
Talks in antarctica instead of switzerland
(in igloos, not fancy hotels!) they'd be
Over and done
In six hours, and be on their way home
Imagine, the light
And imagined that rose was here tonight
And there in her eyes
Was a reason to live
A reason to fight
A reason to die
It scared me....it elevated me
I would do things for her
That i wouldn't do for my mother
My country
My lover
Tis of thee
I sing
Sweet girl of liberty
Sweet bird of freedom

9. _ Live And Let Live
You been holding back
And i know you're afraid to feel
Some one hurt you long ago
And the wounds just did not heal
You never shed a tear
You had to keep control
So the wounds kept spreading
Until they got down in your soul
Don't you think it's time
Time to forgive
Leave the past behind
Live and let live
Been holding onto anger
Now it's got a hold on you
And bitterness keeps growing
Affecting everything you do
Time to break the chains
You could slip them off today
It's time to make some changes
Before your whole life slips away
Don't you think it's time
Time to forgive
Leave the past behind
Live and let live
Don't you think it's time
Time to forgive
Leave the past behind
Live and let live
Don't you think it's time
Time to forgive
Leave the past behind
Live and let live

10. _ Layin' It On The Line
You see it every day in every way
We all hear the same routines
They all say that it's okay
Just let us take care of everything
So we lay it on the line
Layin' it on the line (layin' it on the line)
Layin' it all, right on the line
Just layin' it on the line (layin' it on the line)
Layin' it all, we're livin on the front line
I can see it in the faces
We got trouble in the streets tonight
And power keeps us in our places
And it doesn't matter if you're left or right
You lay it on the line
Layin' it on the line (layin' it on the line)
Just layin' it all, right on the line
Layin' it on the line, (layin' it on the line)
Layin' it all, right on the line
Take it to the wilderness
Into the jungle sun
Lookin' for the voice of reason
Inside this babylon
Got u.s. boys on foreign soil
Spillin' their blood to keep the peace
Cities will vanish in turmoil
While the sheiks lay sleepin' on the beach
We lay it on the line
Layin' it on the line (layin' it on the line)
Layin' it all, right on the line
Just layin' it on the line (layin' it on the line)
Layin' it all, right on the line
Layin' it on the line
Just layin' it all
Layin' it on the line
Just layin' it all

11. _ Shining In The Moonlight
I can feel the heat rising up inside of me
I can still remember how one touch baby feel
And thinking of that night
The light of the moon
The feeling never fades
It ended too soon
Standing in a broken dream
Calling on your fantasies
Looking for the magic land
In here eyes
Shining in the moonlight
Looking for love
Shining in the moonlight
Looking for you
Shining in the moonlight
But i'm still alone
A victim of that night
For eternity
Drifting like a summer wind
A memory inside of me
Standing in the broken dream
Calling on your fantasies
Looking for a magic land
Tryin to find it in her eyes
Whoaaohh
Shining in the moonlight
Looking for love
Shining in the moonlight
Hungry for you
Shining in the moonlight
Shining in the moonlight
Shining in the moonlight
Shining in the moonlight
Shining in the moonlight
