Stars scrape the moon And the moon scrapes the sky We stand beneath Wondering why Stars scrape the moon And the moon scrapes the sky We stand beneath Wondering why, wondering why Paper buys the men The men that make to bomb The bomb that makes this world Paper thin! Money markets crumble Gentle as a drum But if you see me stumble, I'm Paper thin! Life is but a fragile thing So delicate and pure An accolade bestowed on us Paper thin So contemplate the skull The skull beneath the skin One day we all die, we're Paper thin! Bury your destruction In your last battle hymn The barriers between us, make 'em all Paper thin! Paper thin! Paper thin! Paper thin! Underneath the paper moon The sky is paper thin Torn into a thousand shreds So let the solar system in Rick and wealthy canvas Clustered up in jewels Finding all your heavyweights Are featherweights and fools In origami cities In nations built on sand Love got bent right outta shape Nothing ends as planned And it's all - Paper thin Paper thin. Paper thin
From an early age I was taught to respect That a broken heart girl Ain't a thing you collect
Close your eyes and say Nothing lasts a day You're wasting my time Yet I love to love you
Close your eyes and say Honour love obey You're wasting my time Yet I love to love you.
It's cold outside - The night love died On the night you murdered love It's cold outside - The night love died On the night you murdered love. January...February...March and April May June July sees you go by I see love walk away.
Didn't use a blade... A bullet or a gun You poisoned the moonlight When you put out the Sun
It's cold outside - The night love died On the night you murdered love
Debonair lullabies In melodies revealed In deep despair on lonely nights He knows just how you feel The slyest rhymes, the sharpest suits In miracles made real
Like a bird in flight on a hot sweet night You know you're right just to hold her tight He soothes it right, makes it out of sight And everything's good in the world tonight
When Smokey sings, I hear violins When Smokey sings, I forget everything As she's packing her things As she's spreading her wings The front door might slam But the back door it rings And Smokey sings, he sings
Elegance in eloquence For sale or rent or hire Should I say yes and match his best Then I would be a liar Symphonies that soothe the rage When lovers' hearts catch fire
Like a bird in flight on a hot sweet night You know you're right just to hold her tight He soothes it right, makes it out of sight And everything's good in the world tonight
When Smokey sings, I hear violins When Smokey sings, I forget everything As she's packing her things As she's spreading her wings Smashing the hell With the heaven she brings Then Smokey sings, he sings
(Would it be true to say)
Luther croons Sly's the original originator James screams Marvin was the only innovator But nothing can compare Nothing can compare When Smokey sings
When Smokey sings, I hear violins When Smokey sings, I forget everything As she's packing her things As she's spreading her wings She threw back the ring When Smokey sings Smokey sings Smokey sings
Was it rage or regret Or the love I was feeling In this age - who's perfect... are you? Wasn't made to forget This moment worth stealing Was it rage or regret or the two Every morning when I wake up Wake up dreaming then... wake up dreaming Build a temple from you fragrance Build a chapel in your heart Do you really understand Do you feel the need to try Do you even care for me Do you ever wonder why Rage and then regret 'Bout as real as real can get Rage and then regret Through the violence the angry silence Does our love grow strong or die A parachute or a pilot's licence Do we fall in love or fly Do you really understand Do you feel the need to try Do you even care for me Do you ever wonder why Rage and then regret 'Bout as real as real can get Rage and then regret The harder we come The harder we fall The harder it is to stand tall The more that we fight The more that we brawl The more we're alike - that's all... that's all Rage and then regret 'Bout as real as real can get Rage and then regret Rage and then regret 'Bout as real as real can get There are things you don't forget Anger cools to idle threats
Red ribbon rainbow A garland of gold for your hair Wherever you go I see faith crush despair In chaos find courage The answer to my prayer

Knifing my way through a diamond mine Dragging those rocks From seabed to shoreline Rubies and sapphires from Emerald bay Stretching across the milky way One day... one day... Prospecting gold and staking my claim But the only thing I treasure Is hearing your name Most everyone dreams diamonds and furs I dream of love and baby it's yours One day... one day... One day you'll realise You'll see it on her eyes No room for alibis - one day... one day... One day you'll realise Feel me materialise You'll see you're just a fool to leave me One day... one day... one day soon baby They say that your life is an open book Well I just wrote a chapter so take a look Can't blame it on fate or destiny Now that your book... it features me One day... one day... One day you'll realise You'll see it on her eyes No room for alibis - one day... one day... One day you'll realise Feel me materialise You'll see you're just a fool to leave me One day... one day... one day soon baby Hardly a day goes by without me thinking of you No matter how hard I try you can't escape a dream Living my life - in the lap of luxury Living my life - confuse me... confuse me babee One day you'll realise You'll see it on her eyes No room for compromise - one day... one day... One day you'll realise Feel me materialise You'll see you're just a fool to leave me You can't shake a dream - how I wish that you could One day you're mine get that understood Until then each night I shall pray For a love that lasts forever and... One day... one day...

Underneath a flag Love is just a name But underneath the moon We are all the same
Some men seek solace Some take to drink Some men find knowledge, yeah At least that's what they think Some take to violence Streamlining their dreams Some sit in silence And learn what love can mean Much further to go Much further to crawl But one day you'll find The greatest love of all The greatest love of all The greatest love of all The load is tough The path is long Strewn with rocks yeah But you'd be wrong, so wrong One single spark Can start a prairie fire When one man speaks truth He fills the world with pure desire Much further to go Much further to crawl But one day you'll find The greatest love of all The greatest love of all The greatest love of all One day united One day free You'll be rewarded The one true path is unity Fruit don't fall Too far from the tree One day we'll bathe In true humility Much further for truth Much further to fall I pray that you'll find The greatest love of all The greatest love of all The greatest love of all
A mongoose can smile at a cobra But that cobra will always be a snake Diamante can shine like a diamond But you know, like I know That rock will be fake It's the real thing The real thing Nothing but the real thing It's real You can xerox the Mona Lisa Deadpan Da Vinci in every detail Might beat customs on a home-made visa But false papers Only gets you in jail It's the real thing The real thing Nothing but the real thing It's real Life wears a smile on its face But it comes with a sting in its tail Make believe fables have their place But only a fool. Only a fool Believes fairy tales I heard all the lies that they tell ya "Phone me baby. The cheque's in the mail" Well as fantasy. It may please ya As the real thing It does nothing but fail It's the real thing The real thing Nothing but the real thing It's real It's the real thing The real thing Nothing but the real thing It's real
