Lying in a city night
A million fingers tingling my skin Out thee in the sea tonight I thought i saw you clutching your sin You rolled me over long ago And told me you were strong enough to go You needed more than this lover's dream You need the steel and the concrete beams in your life In your life We laughed and drank in the jukebox light And we tore the rug in that downtown dive Every saturday night For fifty cents we'd dance all night long And each new tune we said that's our song Oh it felt so right Well ecstasy ain't free But compromise is chance I remember how You used to love to dance They told me you have found your love You moved in locked up and put out your blues Well all god's children got to grow up And play house make vows to hang up their shoes Do you sit and talk over coffee cups Do headline mornings satisfy and fill you up I kept your eyes and your cigarette kiss You couldn't keep the lies the adrenalin bliss in your life In your life We laughed and drank in the jukebox light And we tore the rug in that downtown dive Every saturday night For fifty cents we'd dance all night long And each new tune we said that's our song Oh it felt so right Well ecstasy ain't free But compromise is chance I remember how You used to love to dance I'm gonna go out tonight I'm gonna drive up to the hill I'm gonna dive on into those city lights And i'm gonna dance, dance Dance till i get my fill We laughed and drank in the jukebox light And we tore the rug in that downtown dive Every saturday night For fifty cents we'd dance all night long And each new tune we said that's our song Oh it felt so right Well ecstasy ain't free But compromise is chance I remember how You used to love to dance |

Come on baby let's get out of this town
I got a full tank of gas with the top rolled down There's a chill in my bones I don't want to be left alone So baby you can sleep while i drive I'll pack my bag and load up my guitar In my pocket i'll carry my harp I got some money i saved Enough to get underway And baby you can sleep while i drive We'll go thorough tucson up to santa fe And barbara in nashville says we're welcome to stay I'll buy you glasses in texas a hat from new orleans And in the morning you can tell me your dreams You know i've seen it before This mist that covers your eyes You've been looking for something That's not in your life My intentions are true Won't you take me with you And baby you can sleep while i drive Oh is it other arms you want to Hold you the stranger The lover you're free Can't you get that with me Come on baby let's get out of this town I got a full tank of gas with the top rolled down If you won't take me with you I'll go before night is through And baby you can sleep while i drive |

In these days and these hours of fury
When the darkness and answers are thin Lovers come and check out in a hurry Shallow and hollow again Come lay your body beside me To dream to sleep with the lamb To the question your eyes seem to send Am I your passion your promise your end I say I am Yes I am Your passion your promise your end Yes I am Barring divine intervention There is nothing between you and I And if I carelessly forgot to mention Your body your power can sanctify Come feed your hunger your thirst Lay it down the beast will die You can question my heart once again Am I your passion your promise your end I say I am Yes I am Your passion your promise your end Yes I am I will stand firm in the tempest I will ride destinys' trail To believe when the truth comes up empty To hold and respect without fail Come and be one in the motion A desire they cannot comprehend Never to question again For I am your passion your promise your end Oh yes I am |

The sky is too high to paint tonight
The wind is too strong to hold on to I climb on your roof and call out your name Somebody stole my silver shoes Now the show must go on, and on and on and on (chorus) Will you still love me anyway Will you still need me when you're victorious Will you still want me when I've nothing to say Will you still love me anyway I am in the big top on the live wire Under the gun, over the fire I'd swim up so high, like a swan I would dive Someone took my net, and buried me alive And the crowd screams for more – Encore, Encore (chorus) Oh I, I need to know why Doesn't love die What becomes of life When does it begin And tell me how's it end When your carved into my carved into my carved into my skin Will you still love me anyway (chorus) |

Well I was a slick midwestern gal
On a long hard road into southern cal Didn't find any crime fillin' up all my time I had the devil in my bones and an angel on my mind and I drank up all the movies and I searched for happy endings I turned love inside out till I was perfectly pretending still I believed it could be true that when you find the one There's no question in the silence All is said and done when you find the one when you find the one Yeah you could say that I was crazy I was that kinda girl I had to open up a lot of oysters before I found myself a pearl I had to kiss a lot of frogs to find my grass was green enough had to be face down in the gutter to see what is and isn't love Then I woke from all the dreaming to your taste and to your laughter I cried till I was dry and now live my ever after I believe I always knew When you find the one There's no question in the silence All is said and done when you find the one When you find the one And when you make the choice to believe in your existence with hello you will know when you find the one I believe it could be true yes I believe I always knew and I believe it could be true and believe i always knew when you find the one There's no question in the silence All is said and done when you find the one And when you make the choice to believe in your existence with hello you will know when you find the one with hello you will know |

I was high and dry like the Kansas sky
If I ached for any more I knew I'd surely die Night after night, trying to get out of my skin Day after lonely day, you'd send me back again I have stood inside this prison I have touched its stony walls I know before you try to run You gotta learn to crawl I tried to leave it all behind me I drove all night just to drive all day But the walls of this prison still surround me And I can't break away I held you so close, I thought my soul would break But you were just a ghost, the holiest mistake I will not be a judge or the one to set you free I'll just keep on drivin' and time's a friend to me I have stood inside this prison I have touched its stony walls I know before you try to run You gotta learn to crawl I tried to leave it all behind me I drove all night, I drove all day But the walls of this prison still surround me And I can't break away The sentence has been read everything is done I wish I could say goodbye to you, wish I could hold the sun My eyes are dull and burnt and they lie to me sometimes 'Cause I thought I saw you cryin' I have stood inside this prison I have touched its stony walls I know before you try to run You gotta learn to crawl I tried to leave it all behind me In my dreams somehow I got away But the walls of this prison still surround me And I can't break away |

The letting go Has taken place I have held the winter's son Become one Set my pace Isn't that what we wanted all along Freedom like a stone But I can say goodbye Now that the passion's died Still it comes so slow The letting go Piece by piece I take apart This complicated heart And I hope to find Something I can prove is real I can feel is truth I can say is mine That's all I ever wanted to be The closer that I got The further I could see But when lovers change And the night feels strange We choose our road The letting go I came here to let you know The letting go Has taken place |

Held up a sign that says "God hates America" A child has been lost A mother is shocked and is grieving And turning away, turning away He said there is a love that is so hideous and destructive We must drive it from Earth to save all of our children He must know it well In the night it's the hell that he speaks of It keeps him awake, keeps him awake My God is love My God is peace My God loves you My God loves me A suffering soul on the way to the Kingdom of Heaven Prayed in the dark, "Death to the infidel" He strapped all his desperate pain and his faith to his body And blew them away, blew them away A suffering soul on the way to the Kingdom of Heaven Shouts on the news, "They are the godless ones" The anger inside and the fear that it hides never leave her When the cameras are gone, when the cameras move on Oh, people, c'mon? tell me where is your Kingdom of Heaven? Where is your faith? Where do you put your fear? Do you have a price for truth and a price for believing? And heaven is here, heaven is here My God is love My God is peace My God is you And my God is me |

You've never been to the moon
But don't you want to go Under the sea in the volcano You've never looked into my eyes But don't you want to know What the dark and the wild And the different know Come dance with me now We'll dance without a care I'm as free as a fire The change is in the air There are some things in my life I'll never understand But they become the force That makes me who I am You've never been to the moon But don't you want to go Under the sea in the volcano You've never looked into my eyes But don't you want to know What the dark and the wild And the different know Don't you worry about the kids The kids are alright Mama's rollin' in the back yard Filled with love and light 'Cause you live and you learn And you learn to hold on And the time will make it heal And time will make it gone You've never been to the moon But don't you want to go Under the sea in the volcano You've never looked into my eyes But don't you want to know What the dark and the wild And the different know Come with me now Come with me now It's time to try It's time to fly Under the sea in the volcano You've never looked into my eyes But don't you want to know What the dark and the wild And the different know You've never been to the moon But don't you want to go Under the sea in the volcano You've never looked into my eyes But don't you want to know What the dark and the wild And the different know You've never been to the moon But don't you want to go Under the sea in the volcano You've never looked into my eyes But don't you want to know What the dark and the wild And the different know |

He looks at me in wonder
Looks at me in fear Wrestling with his anger His pride and stony tears To place me in his life Will be hard and slow Does he want it need it I might never know The boy feels strange Oh, the boy has changed Looking from my tower I can see his fortress strong Surrounded by his army Where do I belong? Does he ever find the answers In the cars as they go by Does he ever want to ask me, why? The boy feels strange Oh, the boy has changed And he's seen with all the women Who think that he's a God And he blesses whom he pleases Holding fast to the facade I want to reach out and believe him Through his miles and miles of pain But lately when I touch him The boy feels strange But he speaks to me of business When I ask him how he's been Keeps me at a distance Never getting under the skin Can he make a new beginning Does he even want to try Or will he only let it die The boy feels strange Oh, the boy has changed |

Sometimes i feel like an innocent one
To deserve this fate what i have i ever done I know that i made all the rules But time can even change the hopeless ways of fools I love you tonight like i did yesterday I won't think of tomorrow or the price i pay I drink from the well my soul is dry I never know why All i want is for your love to be all mine But the angels won't have it All i want is just a little peace of mind But the angels won't have it I thought i had a piece of my soul left to sell I guess it's just as well 'cause the angels won't have it Who's looking after this see-through heart Someone up there isn't doing their part Oh cupid you foolish boy You should take better aim with your brand new toy I love you tonight like i did yesterday I don't think of tomorrow or the price i pay I drink from the well my soul is dry I never know why All i want is for your love to be all mine But the angels won't have it All i want is just a little peace of mind But the angels won't have it I thought i had a piece of my soul left to sell I guess it's just as well 'cause the angels won't have it So if i die before i wake The innocent one whose heart could never break Lift me up take me out of this bed Watching the angels shake their heads Don't feel sorry for me baby honey don't you cry You can sell all of my clothes you will forget me by and by I'll be riding that train i'll be singing that song But i won't be gone for long 'cause the angels won't have it All i want is for your love to be all mine But the angels won't have it All i want is just a little peace of mind But the angels won't have it I thought i had a piece of my soul left to sell I guess it's just as well 'cause the angels won't have it |

Morning's hard coffee's cold
Pretending that the days mean more than getting old Stale headlines other drenched in pride Marching to their drum with fear standing beside But if i close my eyes and throw back my head I can see his face and i hear the words he said And my memories ache and my senses burn Did he dream too late will we ever learn I, i want to testify My love still lives and breathes And my soul is screaming why The thoughts won't let me sleep Don't let hearts break And don't let children cry Before it gets too late I want to testify I take what's said as my daily dread I turn the page and i turn my head I pick i choose on the evening news Cause by cause they fight and one by one they lose Must i live my days in these concrete ways Will the fire break through this smokey haze And i swear tonight i'm gonna find that place It's not the love that dies but the understanding ways I, i want to testify My love still lives and breathes And my soul is screaming why The thoughts won't let me sleep Don't let hearts break And don't let children cry Before it gets too late I want to testify Rip through the wire that screens in my window Throw open the shade that covers my mind I'm going to touch i've got to believe The bell tolls for me I, i want to testify My love still lives and breathes And my soul is screaming why The thoughts won't let me sleep Don't let hearts break And don't let children cry Before it gets too late I want to testify |

"Talking To My Angel"
Don't be afraid Close your eyes Lay it all down Don't you cry Can't you see I'm going Where I can see the sun rise I've been talking to my angel And he said that it's alright I've always had to run I don't know just why Desire slowly smoking Under the midwest sky There's something waiting out there That says I've got to try I've been talking to my angel And he said that it's alright This town thinks I'm crazy They just think I'm strange Sometimes they want to own me Sometimes they wish I'd change But I can feel the thunder Underneath my feet I sold my soul for freedom It's lonely but it's sweet Don't be afraid Close your eyes Lay it all down Don't you cry Can't you see I'm going Where I can see the sun rise I've been talking to my angel And he said that it's alright |

After your laughter like thunder
After your skin like coffee and cream After it takes our bodies into the night After we've come to the extreme I want to lay down on your shoulder Just inside your arm I want to listen to your heart beat And your breathing on and on I want to lay down on your shoulder Surrender to your peace And go to sleep And when we've gone a million miles Made true our dreams with sweat and bone After we've built it up with our bare hands Made strong a place we can call home And when the light in my eye is fading When running water becomes too deep Finally angels turn my fire to dust And when my soul's no longer mine to keep I want to lay down on your shoulder Just inside your arm I want to listen to your heartbeat And your breathing on and on I want to lay down on your shoulder Surrender to the peace And just go to sleep |

Why did you steal the matches
From the one room motel Once they gave you answers Now they give you hell They will never understand They wonder where did they go wrong How could you be so selfish Why can't you get along And as you pray in your darkness For wings to set you free You are bound to your silent legacy You've seen it in the movies And you've heard it on the street Craving the affection Your blood is full of heat They don't listen to your reasons As original as sin Deny all that you feel And they will bring you home again And as you pray in your darkness For wings to set you free You are bound to your silent legacy Your body is alive But no one told you what you'd feel The empty aching hours Trying to conceal The natural progression Is the coming of your age But they cover it with shame And turn it into rage And as you pray in your darkness For wings to set you free You are bound to your silent legacy You are digging for the answers Until your fingers bleed To satisfy the hunger To satiate the need They feed you on the guilt To keep you humble keep you low Some man and myth they made up A thousand years ago And as you pray in your darkness For wings to set you free You are bound to your silent legacy Mothers tell your children Be quick you must be strong Life is full of wonder Love is never wrong Remember how they taught you How much of it was fear Refuse to hand it down The legacy stops here Oh my child... |

I wonder what you're doing
In the night out there Is a sad summer breath tangled in your hair Can you hear the lonely engines Screaming through the town There's no where to run When the darkness comes down Is there a song inside of you That you tried to forget Like your fake ID and your mom's cigarettes Does it take you back Is the vision intense You and me in Shriner's Park Trying to make some sense You were just seventeen But your laughter was mild You liked my dreams you thought I was wild Is there a rhythm in your step now That reminds you of a dance Do you push it all away Cause you never took the chance You'd sneak out your window When I'd come for you I'd be waiting in the street light on 8th Avenue You'd slip into my car We'd drive down past the fence You and me in Shriner's Park Trying to make some sense Did you feel like you were crazy When they sent you far away Did no one have the answers When you hung your head to pray You could not let yourself dream Never dare believe You could ever be more Than you were born to be Do you lock up your house Like you locked up your past If I were to call Could you free me at last Could you slip into my car Could we drive down past the fence You and me in Shriner's Park Trying to make some sense |

Showers of your crimson blood
Seep into a nation calling up a flood Of narrow minds who legislate Thinly veiled intolerance Bigotry and hate But they tortured and burned you They beat you and they tied you They left you cold and breathing For love they crucified you I can't forget hard as I try This silhouette against the sky Scarecrow crying Waiting to die wondering why Scarecrow trying Angels will hold carry your soul away This was our brother This was our son This shepherd young and mild This unassuming one We all gasp this can't happen here We're all much too civilized Where can these monsters hide But they are knocking on our front door They're rocking in our cradles They're preaching in our churches And eating at our tables I search my soul My heart and in my mind To try and find forgiveness This is someone child With pain unreconciled Filled up with father's hate Mother's neglect I can forgive But I will not forget Scarecrow crying Waiting to die wondering why Scarecrow trying Rising above all in the name of love |

Ruins
Don't try to call There are some bridges that burn Beyond recognition beyond repair Don't say you've changed There are some forces that turn Beyond recollection beyond my stare When I feel the cold in the dark I know you're there Long ago I was a woman in pain A woman in need I ran to you Long ago I did not understand You were making me bleed I ran to you When I feel the cold in the dark I know what you do I will crawl through my past Over stones blood and glass In the ruins Reaching under the fence As I try to make sense In the ruins I know your heart has held its own fear It's perfectly clear What they did to you In my heart it's the screaming I hear I won't let them come near Since my love knew you When I feel the cold in the dark I remember you I will crawl through my past Over stones blood and glass In the ruins Reaching under the fence As I try to make sense In the ruins Night after night I am carving it out I will carry it down to the waterside Night after night I am hearing the sound Of wings that come beating I will not hide When I feel the cold in the dark I will know why I will crawl through my past Over stones blood and glass In the ruins Reaching under the fence As I try to make sense In the ruins But if I am to heal I must first learn to feel In the ruins I will crawl |

It's so hard to listen to these trains
Outside my window here it comes again And it's calling me begging me Follow me down the track And it moans so dark and low Baby ain't comin' back I refuse to believe It could happen to me and you It's lonesome and it's hard and it's true It got this whiskey to take care of my lips I got these long cool steel strings At my fingertips I ain't got nothing to soothe my aching soul Except this screeching and screaming iron To tell me where i ought to go I refuse to believe It could happen to me and you It's lonesome and it's hard and it's true I hear the train sigh And idle down below Why your love is so sweet and while Is something i'll never know It sounds like crying It sounds like letting go Breathing and lying Sinking and dying slow And i watch from my window Touching the cold glass sky As the train rolls down the track I say goodbye |

As God id God
As light is light Whose law is wrong? Whose might is right? Here we are on the edge The edge of change I believe in peace My only wish I belive that we Can co-exist Let's go further now Than we've ever gone before And ring the bells Ring the bells of change Ring the bells Every boy and every girl Ring the bells Ring the bells of peace All over the world We've all been called To wake from sleep To feel our power To create the dream To step out from the dark Past our fathers' fear Ring the bells Ring the bells of change Ring the bells Every boy and every girl Ring the bells Ring the bells of peace All over the world Here we stand in unity Making one choice to be free Every truth blends into one As we believe it shall be done Here we stand as soldiers now Turning our swords into plows There is not a nobler clime Achieving peace in our own time I know peace begins with me With all I feel and with all I see And I know it's no easy task Removing our own fearful mask But I have seen us rise and fall Stand on the moon, tear down the wall And I know we can do it all And do it well, so ring the bells (Ring the bells) Ring the bells of change (Ring the bells) Every boy and every girl (Ring the bells) Ring the bells of peace All over the world All over the world (Ring the bells) Ring the bells of change (Ring the bells) Every boy and every girl (Ring the bells) Ring the bells of peace All over the world (All over the world) All over the world (All over the world) (All over the world) Ring the bells (All over the world) Ring the bells of peace (All over the world) All over the world Ring the bells, ring the bells (All over the world) Ring the bells, ring the bells (Ring the bells, ring the bells) Joy to the world Hallelujah |

"Resist"
The sign says do not enter No trespassing allowed With visions of redemption I walk against the crowd The sun is white with envy Confusion on the ground Breathing soft and holy Temptation's only sound A demon's day in madness kissed I swear I never had it like this Forbidden yet I cannot resist Shocked in silent trances Our eyes search just to know What makes flesh and body hunger For another burning soul Conscience quiet pleading In the corner of my eye But seeing is believing All consequences fly A demon's day in madness kissed I swear I never had it like this Forbidden yet I cannot resist With fever I persist The rages of your kiss My reckless heart in fist And I cannot resist A demon's day in madness kissed I swear I never had it like this Forbidden yet I cannot resist |

So long since I wanted Then you made me laugh And my heart opened I want you to find me charming and wise I just want you to find me Somewhere here inside I barely know you We've been sort of friends So what if I called you and called you again What would I tell you Where would I begin Please forgive me If I don't know what to do It's an old fire This familiar desire But my skin is painfully new There's a light in my window It shines all night long In the morning my coffee Is sweet but it's strong I carefully reach out from behind these walls I'll take a deep breath and give you a call Hello how are you Not much at all Lost in this hole That has ripped through my soul I unlock this secret inside What should I think I've had too much to drink As my mind and my body collide |

I've an image in my pocket
Of some dark demon That temptation brought to life And it chokes all of my breath out I'm scratching and screaming Till morning comes to night Place your hand My body will decide Place your hand My anger will subside There are fragments of possessions Shards of past relations Splintering my skin A fear so black and hollow It can suffocate creation And refuse to let you in Place your hand My body will decide Place your hand My anger will subside And they speak to me Like prophets in my dreams Speak to me Like prophets in my dreams Shouting Like prophets in my dreams Sometimes I think it's easy Too easy for the living To receive the promised land Can flesh provide the answer? The reason for sensation? Justify your hand Place your hand My body will decide Place your hand My anger will subside |

How come there's so many people willing to suffer
So they get up and suffer every day They think they were put on this Earth to suffer And, by God, they're going to suffer Until they suffer their lives away How come so many are willing to say There is no sense There is no plan Yet they will not believe The ancient mysteries Passed down through time into their hands If my choice is despair or wonder On the line between truth and belief Do I just let the tide take me under Or do I let the fascination come on and rain all over me <i>[Chorus:]</i> Open your mind 'Cause you have been blind Imagine the answers Or questions will be all you find Open your mind The grooves in my life were unforgiving Over the years I laid them down night after night Work-eat-sleep Work-eat-sleep Work-eat-sleep Work-eat-sleep Work-eat-sleep Work-eat-sleep Suffocating my delight I was dragged into the light Into the stillness Into the white hot flame of my deepest fears And when I came crashing through Humbled and true I was better than I've been in years If my choice is end or beginning In my perception between death and life I'll keep on with this message I'm sending We may not know how or when, But don't you wanna know why <i>[Chorus]</i> Open your mind 'Cause you have been blind Open your mind |

Why it's so hard to understand sometimes It takes me two or three times sometimes To try to get it right sometimes To get it right I've got some coins in my pocket I've got a colored TV It's gotten so complicated now What does it mean to be free Only love is real Everything is love Everything you feel That's what your world is made of And when I took a good look around I see My thoughts are coming back to me So look around We are in charge of our own dreams We have more power than it seems So look around Come on now show me who you're lovin' Then show me just who you hate Tnen I can show you all our amgels yeah That guard your heaven's gate Only Love is real Everything is love Everthing you feel That's what your world is made of |

There is a time
In late December The sun stands still in winter For three days And three long nights Throughout time we've watched the sky And waited for the sun To come and save us Save us from the longest night For years I have been doing things And singing songs That don't make any sense But if I scratch the surface Just a little bit This holiday paint is pretty thin Look to the sky With hope and wonder There's a star in the east To guide us home Yeah, we are closer now Than we've ever been To peace on Earth And goodwill to men As we celebrate The longest night O night divine O night, o night divine Night divine O night divine O... Night divine O... |

Hello, hello this is romeo
Calling from a jackpot telephone Shame, shame but i love your name And the way you make the buffalo roam Oh fly, fly i guess this is goodbye Oh you packed up your heart And you left no souvenirs But if you want me you can call me In the night you know where i'll be Broken lover you can touch me In the dark the innocent can't see You lock it up now hide the key It would mean surrender to let me see Oh brave, brave soldier keep it under cover You fell alone like no other lover Burn the pictures break the records Run far away to a northern town Sell your fear and leave me standing here With no souvenirs Once, twice i thought it might be nice To come into your kitchen and play Cool, cool just a crazy fool I never saw it any other way Oh wait, wait i guess i'm just too late Oh you made up your mind Love shouldn't be so hard But if you want me you can call me In the night you know where i'll be Broken lover you can touch me In the dark the innocent can't see You lock it up now hide the key It would mean surrender to let me see Oh brave, brave soldier keep it under cover You fell alone like no other lover Burn the pictures break the records Run far away to a northern town Sell your fear and leave me standing here With no souvenirs No shirts, no shoes No jackets, no blues You car's for sale You forward your mail You're growing your hair You don't want to know where I'm calling you from Or how come But if you want me you can call me In the night you know where i'll be Broken lover you can touch me In the dark the innocent can't see You lock it up now hide the key It would mean surrender to let me see Oh brave, brave soldier keep it under cover You fell alone like no other lover Burn the pictures break the records Run far away to a northern town Sell your fear and leave me standing here With no souvenirs |

They don't much care for you
No they don't like your kind The way you look walk Or the way you talk The way you always speak your mind But you want to be my friend You're not anything like them You can show me things I've never seen You say ooo child what a waste if we never took a taste Of everything we find in between <i>[Chorus]</i> Ooo you make me nervous Ooo you make me want to run away and hide Ooo you make me nervous When you look at me I just can't lie Ooo you make me nervous tonight Feels so wrong and feels so right feels like insanity I keep acting strange hoping that I'll change Waking in a sweat from a burning dream And then look at all my friends I keep on pleasing them Caught up in the chaos of their minds Ooo child the fear I have Keeps me bound and keeps me gagged Keeps me pushing harder all the time Ooo you make me nervous Ooo you make me want to run away and hide Ooo you make me nervous When you look at me I just can't lie I want to shovel all the blame I want to shoot out all the lights I want to call you names and start a fight Because you make me nervous tonight Heart pounds hands wet mouth dry I shake I scream I cry No eat no sleep all night I build my lonely cell with secrets I can't tell Frozen in my fright Ooo you make me nervous tonight You make me nervous You make me nervous You make me nervous <i>[Chorus]</i> |

When i was a child
I dreamed like a child of wonder With my back in the grass My eyes to the sky to see I believed in the stars I knew they cast a spell that i was under With my fingers in the dirt I was part of the earth Every living thing was part of me But it's gone, it's gone It's gone, it's gone, gone I can't feel it I can't feel it Must've found a way out my back door Must've run away out my back door Because it's gone, gone, gone Then i fell in love Love gave me a shot of pure desire There was nothing else like this This unimagined bliss this ecstasy Deep inside the night I believed i saw the light ignite a fire And it burned into the dark It burned deep inside my heart I thought it would burn eternally But it's gone, it's gone It's gone, it's gone, gone I can't feel it I can't feel it Must've found a way out my back door Must've run away out my back door Because it's gone, gone, gone So i run into the street And i'm shouting into the phone Asking everyone i meet I say have you seen it on my doorstep Did you see it in my car Have you seen it in the alley Was it on the back of some guitar Is it sleeping in the hallway Does it cry all night alone Is it selling itself for money Does it want, does it want to come home |

Well, I have lived ten years plus ten
And ten and ten again I have seen too much to pretend Then you wanted to come in I have survived all of the lies They made me wise The locks and walls and the peace it buys Still when I look into your eyes It's a surprise when you say: (It's gonna be alright) (It's gonna be okay) (Just hold on tight) (Let it all go away) (It's gonna be alright) Oh, mercy, mercy, baby (It's gonna be okay) (Just hold on tight) What do you want from me (Let it all go away) Well I plead: "Mercy, mercy, baby" I do not know what this all means It's been awhile since I been stylin' In just my jacket and my jeans It hurts to walk it hurts to talk It hurts to think about it Shout about it Could I be sure without a doubt That you could never live without me (It's gonna be alright) Oh, mercy, baby (It's gonna be okay) (Just hold on tight) What do you want from me (Let it all go away) (It's gonna be all right) Oh, mercy, mercy, baby (It's gonna be okay) (Just hold on tight) What do you want from me (Let it all go away) I want to fall in you, crawl in you Surrender all in you now Could I be sure in you, pure in you Finding the cure in you Now I plead: "Have mercy on me" Oh... Now I am kneeling at the alter In the temple of your eyes And I am asking for a miracle I have been too long paralyzed When you say: "Get up and stand up And climb the rope of hope And open up again" Oh, the peace you say is promised me Seems too much to comprehend (It's gonna be alright) Oh, mercy, baby (It's gonna be okay) (Just hold on tight) What can this girl believe (Let it all go away) (It's gonna be alright) Oh... mercy (It's gonna be okay) (Just hold on tight) What do you want from me (Let it all go away) What do you want from me (It's gonna be alright) (It's gonna be okay) Mercy, baby (Just hold on tight) Mercy, baby (Let it all go away) (It's gonna be alright) Mercy, mercy, mercy, baby (It's gonna be okay) (Just hold on tight) Hold on tight Let it all go away (It's gonna be alright) It's gonna be okay (Just to hold on tight) Oh...

Keep your eyes down, keep your head lowered
Keep to your self dear, do not tell a soul You know it's wrong what they've been sayin' And you knew all along that I would have to go Find the place where light shines on my reflection A place where I can stand upon my own Not down on my knees Until then please [chorus] Meet me in the dark Meet me in the shadows Past the old graveyard On Eisenhower road Meet me where the storms Blow out on their own dear Meet me in the dark Never let me go I know everyone has their unspoken fear That eats away their senses and their humanity They carry all their secrets every night down to the river And they try so hard to drown them They wont do that to me Cause I'm working hard saving all my money And the tips in this jar will by a brand new set of wings For my mercury Until then please [chorus] I could never hide this little light of mine If God made a mistake then I should die before I wake Maybe it's my fate to swim against this tide Swallowing my pride Keep your eyes down; say that you don't know me For I could not survive if they took you away [chorus] |

The seasons are the contrast Heed a life and how it's done It's time to let go of all our past And let go of what's to come Write down your excuses And turn them into dust And plant the seeds of change Water it with trust And light a light tonight We light a light We light a light tonight We light a light Now about this time is ending And everyone is here We light a light A light this year 'Tis the season of change What do we have, what do we have not? What do we need that isn't here? This mindless, numb, consuming Is driven by a subtle fear It's time we stopped believing That there will not be enough I know they said it on the TV So turn it off, break the chains Step outside and feel the love And light a light tonight We light a light We light a light tonight We light a light Now about this time is ending And everyone is here We light a light A light this year 'Tis the season of change Ooh, change, we shall change We must change Heaven is inside It's all around, not just above Choose only love Heaven is inside It's all around, not just above Choose only love Choose only love Choose only love Choose only love Choose only love And light a light tonight We light a light We light a light tonight We light a light We light a light Light a light tonight We light a light We light a light tonight We light a light 'Tis the season of change |

Am i the snake inside your garden
The sugar in your tea The knock upon your back door The twist that turns your key Am i the sweat you feel on your head The shadow on your face The tune inside your head that put you here in the first place Well i don't want to be I don't want to be I don't want to be your sweet temptation I don't want to be your new sensation It's just a delicate distraction With just a hint of satisfaction Look me in the eye and let me know If you can't love me that let me go Let me go Let me go Do you try to stay suspended In your deepest fantasy After night has ended The scent of mystery The power of suggestion Tangles up your soul A neutral state between love and hate Is bound to take its toll Well i don't think you know I don't think you know I don't think you know about the screaming You don't understand the meaning You could trade it in for laughter To keep your happy ever after Look me in the eye and let me know If you can't love me then let me go Let me go Let me go Baby in your ivory tower Do you sleep tight dream fight Baby does it wet your appetite Maybe in your darkest hour Am i the keeper of your beast Well i don't want to be I don't want to be So let me go Let me go |

You brought me to trust you brought me to tears
In one tender touch the pain disappears I have been to the sword seen it come seen it die As we enter the dark I beseech you to try In prophecy all good things must end So take care my love my friend Keep it precious Keep it precious This yielding is fine this promise rare One day at a time we've agreed to dare Holding you tight with wide open arms I'm letting you go no stranger to harm Go on ride your way do not break or bend Just take care my love my friend Keep it precious Keep it precious And the wonder let the wonder never cease And the madness of the pleasure and ecstasy Danger believing me Wounding and healing me please Keep it precious I believe in your eyes I believe in your fate I believe we can fly on the wings we create A voice from behind calls up anger and fear We can silence that scream it's simple and clear Nothing must die only if failed to mend So take care my love my friend Keep it precious |

They say the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away
Well it was definitely gone when I woke up today I walked up to the mirror to see It's only me I got out of the kitchen I couldn't stand the heat Back into my skin and out on the street Lookin' for a little salvation It's only me Baby you can just pretend That maybe you can love again But babe I know better It's only me And wherever you are tonight The satisfaction you invite Nobody knows better It's only me Well I went down to the revival To give my soul a chance And the DJ spoke to God And the congregation danced And I heard a sound and I turned around It's only me I found a little angel who had fallen from the sky And I took that little angel and I taught her how to fly When the night is done and the morning comes It's only me Baby you can just pretend That maybe you can love again But babe I know better It's only me And wherever you are tonight The satisfaction you invite Nobody knows better It's only me, only me All you'll ever want And all you'll ever need And all you'll ever taste And all you'll ever bleed Look deep inside you It's only me Baby you can just pretend That maybe you can love again But babe I know better It's only me And wherever you are tonight The satisfaction you invite Nobody knows better It's only me Oh창?짝 Baby you can just pretend That maybe you can love again But babe I know better It's only me It's only me It's only me |

Hey you watching as this light bleeds all over me
Shadows rise and fall listen as I call is this reality I will be with you tonight and tomorrow be 1,000 miles away I will be with you tonight I will be with you as long as you say stay One little piece of my soul One little piece of my whole life I give to you Take it now I'm with you I'm not with my lover It's not for another broken heart It's for you Not just for some shattered dream I once knew It's for you It's for you Hey you looking through a mirror to a cage I'll take you away this miracle you pray for on the stage I will be with you tonight I will be with you 1,000 miles away I will never leave Inside of you a piece of me will stay One little piece of my soul One little piece of my whole life I give to you Take it now I'm with you I'm not with my lover It's not for another broken heart It's for you Not just for some shattered dream I once knew It's for you It's for you Come closer now I'm with you I'm not with my lover It's not for another broken heart It's for you Not just for some shattered dream I once knew It's for you It's for you |

What if we could create peace on earth?
I wonder what that would look like I wonder if nature and heaven would sing Hellelujah What if we all stopped believing the line That happines comes from a stork? What if we looked at the damage we've done And finally shouted no more? Fa, la, la, la, la It's Christmas time Fa, la, la, la, la It's Christmas time What if we did create peace on Earth? How would we feel 'bout ourselves? If we know we were perfect and good and enough For all we desire is well What if we all spreaded the news There's nothing to fear anymore? We are connected, one family of light Hallelujah Fa, la, la, la, la It's Christmas time Fa, la, la, la, la It's Christmas time Oh, yeah It's Christmas time I think we can create peace on Earth I finally decide I might By healing our pain, intending our love In the world we create what we find What if we all took the time to be still? Fa, la, la, la, la It's Christmas time Fa, la, la, la, la It's Christmas time Fa, la, la, la, la It's Christmas time Fa, la, la, la, la It's Christmas time Fa, la, la, la, la It's Christmas time Fa, la, la, la, la It's Christmas time Fa, la, la, la, la It's Christmas time Fa, la, la, la, la It's Christmas time Create peace on Earth Create peace on Earth Create peace on Earth Create peace on Earth It's Christmas time It's Christmas time Fa, la, la, la, la |

There were stairs they were steep I was falling falling deep You were there you were small There was screaming down the hall I've been here sleeping all these years There comes a time we all know There's a place that we must go Into the soul into the heart Into the dark There was fire there was death There was lying on your breath I turned away I would pretend But the burning never ends I've been here sleeping all these years There was a wave over the house There was fear choked in my mouth You were there you left your mark As I stumbled in the dark |

She came to this world on a cold night
Papa turned his head and said I don't believe she's mine Single momma raised her in a place where You can look but never touch Cause we don't have enough Don't let your hopes get high Cause girls like you can't fly Oh the long nighs in the small room With the big dreams Oh Indiana You're only dying here And they don't understand you It's a tough road but you start slow And before you know it You're not alone Looking for a place called home anywhere Oh Indiana She tended bar in New York City People turned their heads and said Baby you sure look fine They put her on TV and then they told her You're gonna be a star You can go so far Let your hopes get high Cause girls like you can fly In the long nighs in the small room With the big dreams Oh Indiana You're only dying here And they don't understand you It's a tough road but you start slow And before you know it You're not alone Looking for a place called home anywhere Oh Indiana Those big dreams are flying machines And they'll take you Wherever you want to go Sometimes you find that what's real is inside You don't have to go away To find your way home Oh Indiana She turned around and sshe topped running She saw that fame was never an answer to her prayers She found that answer in her children When she takes them to a place Where they can have so much She lets their hopes get high Cause anyone, anyone can fly In the long nighs in the small room With the big dreams Oh Indiana You're only dying here And they don't understand you It's a tough road but you start slow And before you know it You're not alone Looking for a place called home anywhere Oh Indiana Oh she's going back Oh oh oh |

A mother was grieving her loss
Her soldier the ultimate cost She went to the man Who's been told that he's a king Waited outside of his compound To ask him a few things She said "For what noble cause did my son have to die Where are their weapons Why did you have to lie" Imagine that A lieutenant in the army In his heart and his soul he believes In the land of the free and the home of the brave Now he's standing on trial For he will not behave as they wish He said "I believe the constitution To defend it and uphold I will not fight your war for profit No sir I will not go" Imagine that A scientist and his machine The smallest of life he has seen Inside matter inside atoms As far as you can go He saw the strings of life that vibrate With the universal flow He said "I have seen the spirit And all its creation It's in each and every thought And all our intentions" Imagine that |

If I wanted to I could do anything right
I could dance with the devil on a Saturday night If I wanted to I could turn matches to gold I could smoke drink swear and I would never grow old I wouldn't have to be in love with you If I only wanted to If I only wanted to If I wanted to I could run fast as a train Be as sharp as a needle that's twisting your brain If I wanted to I could turn mountains to sand Have political leaders in the palm of my hand I wouldn't have to be in love with you If I only wanted to If I only wanted to I could leave tonight And I would be all right Stop holding on If I wanted to If I only wanted to If I wanted to I could be as patient as death Fix this hole in my heart leaking into my flesh If I wanted to I could turn sparks into ice There'd never be another woman who could make you think twice I wouldn't have to be in love with you If I only wanted to If I only wanted to |
