Starlight 03:31
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 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 04:20
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
4.
Dreaming 04:23
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 03:34
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 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 04:25
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 05:19
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
