Starlight
Tripped from A Centauri, to this third world from the sun, was here to meet the Caesars and to watch what you've become
Drank wine with Priests of Bacchus, rode with Ghengis Khan, posed for a Da Vinci, saw the Bombing of Verdun
All I’ve been
All I’ve seen
Starlight take me home tonight
Come and take me home
Take this skin and bones to flight
Come and take me home
Told Tesla he was right and Edison that he was wrong, saw the island of Manhattan simply stolen for a song
Gave my gift of knowledge to the leaders of your world, but the hand of greed holds secrets In their tight fingers curled
All I've been
All I've seen
Starlight take me home tonight
I'm so far from home
Take this skin and bones to flight
Come and take me home

The Night In You

The Night In You
The life you live in daylight never leads those who know you to the signs
I watch you from the shadows and I’m sure you recognize me from your mind
When the mist creeps 'cross the evening moon
And the night whispers it's crazy tune
The shadows of the day commune
Can’t wait to find the night in you
I call when we’re awake but you don’t communicate, it’s not our time
But in our dreams we sweat with passion, no lies to our attraction, In our dreams
When the mist creeps 'cross the evening moon
And the night whispers its crazy tune
The shadows of the day commune
Can’t wait to find the night in you
When the mist creeps 'cross the evening moon
'Cause I know you’re gonna be here soon
The shadows of the day commune
Can’t wait to find the night in you

Haunted

Haunted
Tears that you cry
Blood is wine from your eyes
Everything dies
And walks through the veil of sighs
Can you hear the words I’m saying?
Do they make it to you 'cross the Great Divide?
Did you pay the ferryman?
And are you resting now silent on the Other side?
Years that passed us by
Lay between you and I
When we meet in the far and wide
I’ll wipe the tears from your eyes
We are the haunted,
The ones who have passed,
You’re coming to join us,
And walk through the past

Dreaming

Dreaming
When the dust in the road starts to clear
And you find that you’re here,
You’re not the only one.
As the end of the day loses light,
To the night,
It’s only just begun.
You're dreaming of a brand-new day
You found the season, but it slipped Away
And there's a reason that you're here Today
You're only two steps from the finish line
When reality melts from the fear,
And your dreams start to steer,
You halt the setting sun.
Sirens now into flight, as they warn,
Through the horns,
It could be anyone.

Whisky, Sinners, Devils And You
Wheels are turning, sin falls on the city
Hustlers spinning, dealers stealing souls
Cold stone killers kneel and find their pity
At the altar of the wasteland that they stole
Whisky, sinners, devils and you
Standing together in the sharp moonlight
Creeping down the streets that we knew
Mist rolls through on this dangerous night
Whisky, sinners, devils and you
I could be wrong, but I know I’m right
Whisky, sinners, devils and you
Days keep passing, city torn and turning
Don’t know where I’ve been or who I am
Stone cold lovers drink in all that yearning
And falter in the hustlers' Promised Land

In For Penny In For Pound
Feel me sliding
As the world keeps turning 'round
The more I ride it
The more it feels like home
If I ain't all in
I'm your problem
But it's a small sin
Just keeps calling
I've got a problem
Can't fix the world, you look at me and say:
Keep on livin' our lives today
Blind to all that's coming around
If we don't do something to change this place
In for penny in for pound
Am I living?
Or has it all just been a dream?
I lost sight of
The broader side of seeing
If I ain't all in
I'm your problem
But it's a small sin
Just keeps calling
I've got a problem
Ain't no angel, you look at me and say:
Keep on livin' our lives today
Blind to all that’s coming around
If we don’t do something to save this place
In for penny in for pound
Keep on passing the buck today
Saying - hey I’m not so bad
If you’re not the answer, then you’re the cancer
In for penny in for pound

Kill Switch

Kill Switch
I can’t get my head around
Weak kill for beliefs
World should live as they live
In the belly of the beast
Faithful follow words of dust and sage
As the wind lifts blood and meaning from the page
Time to hit the kill switch
Trigger fingers itch, who has the kill switch?
'Cause I think I feel it coming down
Crucify the sacred cow
Who wears a crown of thorns
Show us love upon your blade
Four riders on the storm
Faithless fallow chaff is in the grain
Between the teeth of unreason’s senseless reign
Time to hit the kill switch
'Cause I think I feel it coming down

Tense And Wired
When you take me out of my element
To a place I don't belong
Up in front of people I don't know
Are you surprised when things go wrong?
Now I don't know if I'm starting to crack
Or if I'm just a little tired
But when I stand up here red mist comes down and chokes me
And it leaves me tense and wired
So I start shooting rabbits in the road
I'm shooting rabbits in the road
Now I'm up here and I'm counting
Taking in all that I see
This clip holds thirty bullets
But I might need thirty-three
The red mist has thinned and risen
And the rabbits all have died
Can’t see them through all of these bodies
And it makes me tense and wired
So I start shooting rabbits in the road
Just shooting rabbits in the road

Second-Hand Superman (All I've Got To Give)
You've been whetting my appetite
Tonight is dark but the future's bright
You keep saying I’m not your type
'Cause I can’t give you all your dreams
I ain’t no Second-Hand Superman
Who spends his life in a Disney Land
All I've got to give is what I’ve got
You measure life by the bank amount
I’m overdraft in the you account
Love to watch while your cheques bounce
You can see my interest rise
I ain’t no starry-eyed movie star
Or CEO in a fancy car
All I've got to give is what I’ve got
Can’t have no diamonds without a little coal
You need a grain of dirt to end up with a shiny pearl
I’ll be the gold bar in the future that you plot
All I've got to give is what I've got
I ain’t no Second-Hand superman
Who spends his life in a Disney Land
All I got to give is what I’ve got
I ain’t no starry-eyed movie star
Or CEO in a fancy car
All I've got to give is what I’ve got

She's Like A Drug (Razors)
I can see your eyes when I close my eyes
I can feel my words when you touch my lies
Crawling through the trenches and the barbwire of your mind
Leaves my soul in tatters, razors cut the words that bind
She’s like a drug, she drags me down
She’s like a drug, she brings me 'round
She’s like a drug, she’s like, she’s like a drug
I can hear your words when I close my mind
I can touch the sight but you’ve gone blind
Falling through the past, I come to pass the left before
Crawling ghosts, a dozen hosts desecrated on the floor

Meet You in the Sunset

Meet You in the Sunset
Bridges made of sorrow
Crossing to tomorrow
Over river of life’s dream
Currents roll, indifferent
Life is something we’re lent
'Till the river meets the sea
Can't bring back the past
And drag it to today
I only know that
The past is gone
But our love holds on
I’ll meet you in the sunset
Went separate ways
In those crazy days
I’ll meet you in the sunset
Pictures in my memories
Summer songs and warm breeze
Carried down the stream
Caught up in the current
'Till I don’t know where I went
Everything’s a dream within a dream
Can't bring back the past
And drag it to today
I only know that
The past is gone
But our love holds on
I’ll meet you in the sunset
Went separate ways
In those crazy days
I’ll meet you in the sunset

Rise

Rise
We all have our things that
Will make us stand
What makes us rise up
Our line in the sand
But things aren’t as clear as they seem
Sometimes think it’s just a bad dream
Everybody’s going crazy I don’t know who’s going to save us now
I’ve got to learn to rise above
Anger and envy, prejudice and fear
Change it or be a slave to what I can’t forgive
I’ve got to learn to rise above
Streets filled with justice
Rule by the mob
Can’t sway opinion
Of those you rob
But things aren’t as clear as they seem
Sometimes think it’s just a bad dream
Everybody’s going crazy I don’t know who’s going to save us now
I’ve got to learn to rise above
Anger and envy, prejudice and fear
Change it or be a slave to what I can’t forgive
I’ve got to learn to rise above

Stripper Crotch (A Cautionary Tale...)
Called the boys last Friday night
Said, hey – let's get sleazy
You know the place I'm talking about -
Where everyone is easy?
Pulled my chair up in the front row
The local favourite starts the show
Slamming shots and chasing beers
Something's about to go down here
He's got Stripper Crotch
Let's go where only you and I can see
The time of my life she promised me
All my money has come and gone
And how the Hell did I get in this thong?
What a party last night
Just one glitch – I can't get rid of this burning itch
People say that Life's a Bitch
It truly is, when you've got that itch...
He's got Stripper Crotch

Everywhere
Well I've been across this great big land
About a couple dozen times or more
And I never know when you're gonna jump out of the bushes
It took me years to find my way back home
From your emotional combat zone
Yeah, you were in and out of my life like a yo-yo
So I close my eyes and count to three
You're supposed to get away - far from me
But when I open them again you're still a part of my world
I look around and see your face
I turn around 'cause I hear your voice
I never know where you'll find me
Don't know what I'm supposed to do
I turn around and see your face
I look around 'cause I hear your voice
I never know where you'll find me
Don't know what I gotta do
To get myself away from you – you're everywhere
Now I've built myself a quiet life
I've got a modest home
And a lovely wife
But I see you're standing out in front of it
With a lighter
Why can't you turn the page and pass on by
Get it through your head
I'm not your guy
Those times are better off left where they are
