Sunrise in East
03:52
|
|||
Now you told us to leave but we wanted to stay
had a love for the game and the music we play
there were great things among the recordings we made
we used to have it on tape but we threw it away
where beggars and bangers go bump in the night
a guitar will switch on the overdrive
and a girl will give birth to a voodoo child
in a basement below where we sometimes hide
Where tomorrow lights the present like a flame
childlike men give in to madness
where life itself is like a web of dreams
we’ve been sitting in the shadows
scraping blood from off our knees
waiting for the sun to warm our bodies
in the middle of the meadows
like a swarm of hungry bees
full of poisonous chemics and honey
Where the question in mind like a hole in the head
is the last of the poets to die in bed
where the greatest thing you have ever said
is ‘the sunrise in East and the queen is dead’
Where the sound of laughter cuts you like a knife
the jokes are long and leave you tired
where everyone deserts you when you smile
we’ve been sitting in the shadows
scraping blood from off our knees
waiting for the sun to warm our bodies
in the middle of the meadows
like a swarm of hungry bees
full of poisonous chemics and honey

So now your life has left you with a feeling
that dreams are only for the chosen few
that what was going on while you were sleeping
came and went away and now it's all too late
that time is up and that you should be leaving
that there’s nothing left round here for you to do
that talk is cheap and looks can be deceiving
cause it's cold inside your heart, and you’re all black and blue
Ever since she went away
you’ve been feeling out of shape
there’s nothing left to celebrate and you’re stuck on your own
sitting in a lonely place
cautious like a renegade
she disappeared without a trace and left you all alone
now you’re hiding from the light
trying to cover up your eyes
running to the other side whenever she’s around
love has been a lonely town
ever since she broke you down
and you don’t ever want to fall out of love again
Dancing like you’ve gone and caught a fever
the sun has got you blinded by the light
down and out while swimming up the river
deep into the blue in a blue bayou
you wanna go to where the grass is greener
the days are flashing by before your eyes
but the nights are long and you are a believer
and that big old paper moon is shining down on you
Ever since she went away
you’ve been feeling out of shape
there’s nothing left to celebrate and you’re stuck on your own
sitting in a lonely place
cautious like a renegade
she disappeared without a trace and left you all alone
now you’re hiding from the light
trying to cover up your eyes
running to the other side whenever she’s around
love has been a lonely town
ever since she broke you down
and you don’t ever want to fall out of love again

All The Songs
03:55
|
|||
Whenever we’re together
or talking on the phone
for worse or for better
I feel it in my bones
it makes me wanna call you up sometimes
just to hear the busy tone
it makes me wanna cry sometimes
whenever I'm alone
Cause
all the songs they’re playing on the radio remind me of us (baby)
all the songs they’re playing on the radio remind me of us (oh)
all the songs they’re playing on the radio remind me of us (lately)
and nothing's ever gonna change the way I feel about you
Because you’re taking over
my body and my soul
because you make me stronger
than I am on my own
because you mean the world to me
because I’m in the zone
I wanna give you everything
and let you take me home
Cause wherever I go I get like
all the songs they’re playing on the radio remind me of us (baby)
all the songs they’re playing on the radio remind me of us (oh)
all the songs they’re playing on the radio remind me of us (lately)
and nothing's ever gonna change the way I feel about you
I wanna take you higher
make you give in to me
I wanna let you know for sure
exactly how I feel
nothing could ever hold me back
I wanna make you see
no one could ever question
that what we have is real
Cause everywhere I go it feels like
all the songs they’re playing on the radio remind me of us (baby)
all the songs they’re playing on the radio remind me of us (oh)
all the songs they’re playing on the radio remind me of us (lately)
and nothing's ever gonna change the way I feel about you

More Than Anything
04:25
|
|||
Lights are shining bright tonight
I go around in circles
for the first time in my life
I am free
the moon is crawling across the sky
the sight ignites a sparkle
stars are falling from up high
endlessly
My tired soul
is growing old
I wonder if
your heart is warm or cold
whenever you are thinking of me
nothing can change
the way I feel
I need you here
I want you close to me
I want your hands to touch my body
I feel like I'm about to lose my mind
Cause I need you more than anything
like the flower needs the water to grow
cause l just want you to say to me
‘I will be around forever’
cause I know you want it just the same
like the mountain wants the river to flow
when you touch me in the pouring rain
I don't need no other lover
There's someone calling out my name
I hear it from a distance
blowing in the winds of change
silently
as the lights begin to fade
I begin to listen
to a word that resonates
violently
My tired soul
is growing old
I wonder if
your heart is warm or cold
whenever you are thinking of me
nothing can change the way I feel
I need you here
I want you close to me
I want your hands to touch my body
I feel like I'm about to lose my mind
Cause I need you more than anything
like the flower needs the water to grow
cause l just want you to say to me
‘I will be around forever’
cause I know you want it just the same
like the mountain wants the river to flow
when you touch me in the pouring rain
I don't need no other lover

Friday
04:06
|
|||
I wake up in the morning
the sun comes up
the City has a heart attack
while lonely hearts are calling
from mountaintops
I head towards the railway tracks
my bags are packed and loaded
and soft guitars
are coming out the radio
the magic of the moment
is making me ask of you to
Take me where
the living is easy
I’m not afraid
staying here
is making me dizzy
it's not too late
I walk upon the water
what Jesus won't
the rest of us will surely do
and life across the border
for all we know
is better for both me and you
if I begin to mention
the summer rain
the light upon your face at night
just to get your attention
I might give in or just let you know that
Life goes on
but I will be ready
to let love in
take control
of my life in the city
and state I'm in
Take me where
the living is easy
I'm not afraid
staying here
is making me dizzy
it's not too late

Whether it's complicated
or simply just overrated
love is for those who made it
out of the dark
running towards the daylight
stuck in a race against time
taking their chances
in between the shooting stars
Floating high up above the city after we have gone to sleep
there's a riot where the angels live and die
where moments of truth are buried
words are not necessary
laughter and pain are married
and one of a kind
We're heading for a disaster
set on forever after
battery dying faster
than ever before
I am the operator
fighting an alligator
hunting a perpetrator
high above the law
Now if dreams are made of REM and electricity
how will we ever be able to survive
if a moment’s all we have, there will be nothing left to see
we are slowly running out of luck and time
Floating high up above the city singing careless melodies
we’ve got paper wings attached to back and spine
where moments of truth are buried
words are not necessary
laughter and pain are married
and one of a kind

Trail Of Intuition
03:33
|
|||
Just to demonstrate how the art of devotion
easily compares to a hole in the head
I was in a boat causing quite a commotion
rocking back and forth like a child with tourette's
Both the silver moon and the water was rising
blowing fishes fell from a hole in the sky
I began to drift off into the horizon
talking to myself on a natural high
While I was thinking about you
the things I wanted to say
I needed someone to talk to
while I was washing away
upon the trail of intuition
Washing over me like a flood of emotions
leaving me uplifted and energized
leading from the deep and the heart of the ocean
to where the revolution is televised
I was overwhelmed by the thunder and lightning
driven by the man that I wanted to be
taken by surprise by the feelings inside me
hopelessly in love with the girl of my dreams
I was aching and burning
to bring you into my life
I was very determined
just to make you mine
I was thinking about you
the things I wanted to say
I needed someone to talk to
while I was washing away
upon the trail of intuition

Europe’s Burning
04:36
|
|||
With restless limbs hidden from the light
my tired girl lies awake at night
waiting for tomorrow and the coming of a child
while the world is gently spinning out of time
the neon lights that spell 'we lost the war'
are shining brighter than they ever did before
every day is like the next day, can’t help but being bored
my soul is weary and my heart is sore
Cause Europe's burning and we're running late
fish are jumping at the Watergate
the sky is breaking and it's gonna rain
the ice is melting but I'm feeling great
Cause sitting pretty is our favorite drug
we join the masses in the search for God
everyone I talk to seem to know what's up
all we need is time and lots and lots of love
Cause Europe's burning and we're running late
fish are jumping at the Watergate
the sky is breaking and it's gonna rain
the ice is melting, but I'm feeling great

Brick By Brick
03:43
|
|||
Stepping out like a rat in a cage
high and dry on the edge of the seat
from up high like an aeroplane
waking from a sleep
though I do find it hard to complain
nothing came out of living the dream
here’s to growing up and turning the page
in search of something real
I sing it loud
out and about
you’re leaning on my shoulder
the walls are thin
I’m giving in
my heart is getting colder
with every try
I know that I
am slowly growing stronger
for all I know
the road back home
is getting that much longer
Tear it down and build it up again
brick by brick like I was a marine
for the sake of what is happening
or somewhere in between
from the love I have for the game
from the sound of the wind in the trees
comes a feeling that I can't explain
washing over me
Blowing harder than a hurricane
bursting bubbles on the verge of a dream
in the middle of the pouring rain
from the windy streets
there's a voice that's calling out my name
falling in and out of ecstasy
saying ‘wrap me up in cellophane
and fly away with me’
I sing it loud
out and about
you're leaning on my shoulder
the walls are thin
I’m giving in
my heart is getting colder
with every try
I know that I
am slowly growing stronger
for all I know
the road back home
is getting that much longer
Tear it down and build it up again
brick by brick like I was a marine
for the sake of what is happening
or somewhere in between
from the love I have for the game
from the sound of the wind in the trees
comes a feeling that I can't explain
washing over me

Sound Of Laughter
04:15
|
|||
In the middle of the night
while the air was warm and dry
and my heart was hollow
in the heated summertime
while the world fought for the rise
of what was to follow
I was running out of time
doing what I could to try
to ease my sorrow
cause the pressure was too high
all I did was just survive
living for tomorrow
But then to the sound of laughter
the moon fell to the ground
and like someone watching over me
just in the moment after
as the rain came pouring down
I saw you standing next to me
if I told you how I feel
that my love for you is real
I wonder if you could believe
all I really want to do
is to spend my days with you
and follow wherever you lead
I was moving out of sight
further away from the light
the streets were dark and narrow
I was going out my mind
and the trail I left behind
made me weak and shallow
with a hole inside my heart
that was tearing me apart
growing ever bigger
suddenly a shooting star
came and lit up the dark
that made me stop and shiver
And then to the sound of laughter
the moon fell to the ground
and like someone watching over me
just in the moment after
as the rain came pouring down
I saw you standing next to me
if I told you how I feel
that my love for you is real
I wonder if you could believe
all I really want to do
is to spend my days with you
and follow wherever you lead

End Of The Rainbow
03:05
|
|||
Where the moon is hanging upside down
shining bright like a halo
in the middle of a lonesome town
where the desolate wind blows
while we’re travelling at the speed of sound
I surrender and let go
cause I’m young, because the world is round
looking out of my window
Cause I want you to notice
the way that life just knocks on your door
when you’re right and you know it
hey, I think we’ve been here before
if I could I’d make you understand
that I’m smarter than you think I am
turning water into wine again
at the end of the rainbow
From the centre of a hurricane
somewhere across the border
where I used to hang around and play
in a house near the water
in between the falling drops of rain
growing stronger and stronger
there’s a voice that’s calling out my name
like a lamb to the slaughter
Saying ‘I want you to notice
the way that life just knocks on your door
when you’re right and you know it
hey, I think we’ve been here before
if I could, I'd make you understand
that I'm smarter than you think I am
turning water into wine again
at the end of the rainbow’

Lose Myself
04:05
|
|||
Where a radio is playing
and the moon is on the rise
I see a light reflecting in your eye
we are cold and it is raining
but the night is on our side
as we listen to the sounds of our own time
We are longing for tomorrow
but living for today
cause tomorrow doesn't matter anyway
many other days will follow
and then gently wash away
but tonight I think I'm gonna stay awake
Cause I don't want to lose myself
as sweet as it may be
I don't want to lose myself to you
I don't want to let you go
whatever it may take
I am gonna make you love me too
There’s a weight upon my shoulders
that's resting on my skin
and a question buried somewhere deep within
will my life when I am older
reveal the state I'm in
if I ever make it out of here again?
Cause it truly makes me wonder
where do I go from here
where will I be when all is said and done?
if I wait around much longer
my chance will disappear
I am thinking as I stare into the sun
Cause I don't want to lose myself
as sweet as it may be
I don't want to lose myself to you
I don't want to let you go
whatever it may take
I am gonna make you love me too
