I'm not sure
What I'm looking for anymore
I just know
That I'm harder to console
I don’t see who I'm trying to be
Instead of me
But the key
Is a question of control

Can you say
What you're trying to play anyway
I just pay
While you're breaking all the rules
All the signs that I find
Have been underlined
Devils thrive on the drive
That is fuelled

All this running around
Well it’s getting me down
Just give me a pain that I'm used to
I don't need to believe
All the dreams you conceive
You just need to achieve
Something that rings true

There's a hole in your soul
Like an animal
With no conscience
Repentance unkown

Close your eyes
Pay the price for your paradise
Devils feed on the seeds
That are sown

Can't conceal what I feel
What I know is real
No mistaking the faking
I care
With a prayer in the air
I will leave it there
On a note full of hope
Not despair

All this running around
Well it's getting me down
Just give me a pain that I'm used to
I don't need to believe
All the dreams you conceive
You just need to achieve
Something that rings true

John the Revelator
Put him in an elevator
Take him up to the highest high
Take him up to the top where the mountains stop
Let him tell his book of lies
John the Revelator
He's a smooth operator
It's time we cut him down to size
Take him by the hand
And put him on the stand
Let us hear his alibis
By claiming God - As his holy right
He's stealing a God from the Israelites
Stealing a God from a Muslim, too
There is only one God through and through
Seven lies, multiplied by seven, multiplied by seven again
Seven angels with seven trumpets
Send them home on the morning train
Well who's that shouting?
John the Revelator!
All he ever gives us is pain
Well who's that shouting?
John the Revelator!
He should bow his head in shame
By and by
By and by
By and by
By and by
Seven lies, multiplied by seven, multiplied by seven again
Seven angels with seven trumpets
Send them home on the morning train
Well who's that shouting?
John the Revelator!
All he ever gives us is pain
Well who's that shouting?
John the Revelator!
He should bow his head in shame
By and by
By and by
John the Revelator
By and by
John the Revelator
By and by
John the Revelator

In the summer we'd be crazy
We'd fool around all the time
Oh how I loved that girl
When she was mine
But now she'd left me
For another guy
For without that girl
I was lost and found

Oh darling please don't hurt me this way
Oh darling please don't leave me
Oh darling please don't hurt me this way
Oh darling please don't leave me

Now I get messed up
And I fool around
But there's no fun anymore
They say times must change
But I'm not so sure
Lost lovers of summer
As we go our separate way
Remember memories you owe
Won't bring back those special days

If I could just hide
The sinner inside
And keep him denied
How sweet life would be
If I could be free
From the sinner in me

I’ll never be a saint
That’s not a picture that your memory paints
Not renowned for my patience
I’m not renowned for my restraint
But you’re always around
You can always be found
To pick me up when I’m on the ground
..

If I could just hide
The sinner inside
And keep him denied
How sweet life would be
If I could be free
From the sinner in me

I’m still recovering
Still getting over all the suffering
More known for my anger
Than for any other thing
But you’ve always tried
To be by my side
And catch my fall when I start to slide
...

If I could just hide
The sinner inside
And keep him denied
How sweet life would be
If I could be free
From the sinner in me

Precious and fragile things
Need special handling
My God what have we done to you

We always tried to share
The tenderest of care
Now look what we have put you through

Things get damaged
Things get broken
I thought we’d managed
But words left unspoken
Left us so brittle
There was so little left to give
...

Angels with silver wings
Shouldn’t know suffering
I wish I could take the pain for you

If God has a master plan
That only he understands
I hope it’s your eyes He’s seeing through

Things get damaged
Things get broken
I thought we’d managed
But words left unspoken
Left us so brittle
There was so little left to give
...

I pray you’ll learn to trust
Have faith in both of us
And keep room in your hearts for two

Things get damaged
Things get broken
I thought we’d managed
But words left unspoken
Left us so brittle

Overflowing senses
Heightened awareness
I hear my blood flow
I feel its caress
Whispering cosmos
Talking right to me
Unlimited, endless
God breathing through me
See the microcosm
In macro vision
Our bodies moving
With pure precision
One universal celebration
One evolution
One creation
Thundering rhythm
Pounding within me
Driving me onwards
Forcing me to see
Clear and enlightening
Right there before me
Brilliantly shining
Intricate beauty
See the microcosm
In macro vision
Our bodies moving
With pure precision
One universal celebration
One evolution
One creation

I see a river
It’s oceans that I want
You have to give me everything
Everything’s not enough

It’s my desire
To give myself to you
Sometimes

Sometimes I try
Sometimes I lie, with you
Sometimes I cry
Sometimes I die, it’s true
Somewhere I find
Something that’s kind..
...

And I’ve crossed the line again
A line I drew in sand
Still you give me everything
But everything’s not enough

I’m ready but not willing
To give myself to you
Sometimes

Sometimes I try
Sometimes I lie, with you
Sometimes I cry
Sometimes I die, it’s true
Somewhere I find
Something that’s kind
...

Come on over
Lay down beside me
And I’ll try
Come on over
Lay down beside me
And I’ll try
And I’ll try

I want it all

Just give me a reason, some kind of sign
I'll need a miracle to help me this time
I heard what you said, and I feel the same
I know in my heart that I'll have to change

Even the stars look brighter tonight
Nothing's impossible
I still believe in love at first sight
Nothing's impossible


How did we get to be this far apart?
How did we get to be this far apart?
I want to be with you, have something to share
I want to be here I’m not there


Even the stars look brighter tonight
Nothing's impossible
I still believe in love at first sight
Nothing's impossible
Even the stars look brighter tonight
Nothing's impossible
If you believe in love at first sight
Nothing's impossible
...

I still believe in love at first sight
Nothing's impossible

We're damaged people
Drawn together
By subtleties that we are not aware of
Disturbed souls
Playing out forever
These games that we once thought
we would be scared of

When you're in my arms
The world makes sense
There is no pretence
And you're crying
When you're by my side
There is no defence
I forget to sense
I'm dying

We're damaged people
Praying for something
That doesn't come from somewhere deep inside us
Depraved souls
Trusting in the one thing
The one thing that this life has not denied us

When I feel the warmth
Of your very soul
I forget I'm cold
And crying
When your lips touch mine
And I lose control
I forget I'm old
And dying

Oh, Lilian
Look what you’ve done
You’ve stripped my heart
Ripped it apart
In the name of fun

Oh, Lilian
I’m a poor man’s son
And precious jewels
Weren’t found in schools
Where I came from

Pain and misery
Always hit the spot
Knowing you can’t lose
What you haven’t got

Oh, Lilian
I should have run
I should have known
Each dress you own
Is a loaded gun

Oh, Lilian

Oh, Lilian
I need protection
I hear your voice
And any choice
I had is gone

Oh, Lilian
Once I'd begun
I couldn’t stop
Till every drop
Of blood was sung
Pain and misery
Always hit the spot
Knowing you can’t lose
What you haven’t got

Oh, Lilian
Look what you’ve done
You've stripped my heart
Ripped it apart
In the name of fun

Oh, Lilian...

Oh you sad one
Playing the Angel
Isn’t so easy where you’re from

Oh you wild one
Devil’s companion
You won’t stay satisfied for long

I don’t want you to change anything you do
I don’t want you to be someone else for me
..

Oh you dark one
Eternal outsider
Caught in the spider’s web you’ve spun

Oh you blind one
Gentle and kind one
Seeing the world as a loaded gun

I don’t want you to change anything you do
I don’t want you to be someone else for me

Stay as you are the darkest star
Shining for me
Majestically
.......
