Desireless
SAVE TONIGHT
Go on and close the curtains
'cause all we need is candlelight
You and me and the bottle of wine
and hold you tonight
Well, we know I'm going away
And how I wish, I wish it weren't so
so take this wine and drink with me
let's delay our misery...
Save tonight
fight the break at dawn
Come tomorrow
Tomorrow I'll be gone
There's a log on the fire
and it burns like me for you
Tomorrow comes with one desire..
to take me away
It ain't easy to say goodbye
darling please don't start to cry
'cause girl you know I've got to go
and Lord I wish it wasn't so
[chorus]
Tomorrow comes to take me away
I wish that I, that I could stay
but girl you know I've got to go, oh
and Lord I wish it wasn't so
[chorus]
FALLING IN LOVE
I'm so tired
Of falling in love
Finding it easier to fall out
Can't deny it
I feel it inside Cupdid's fire
I can't hide
Chorus:
I'm falling in love again
Ain't nothing I can do
Falling in love again
And this time it's with you
When I fall
It's always the same
And I'm so tired
of playing this game
It's been so long now
Since I gave up my heart
I've kept it locked down
I don't wanna get it harmed
So let me tell you now
I just want to be sure
That you won't hurt me
Can you promise me that
Chorus
You got to tell me
If you're going to break my heart
'cos I don't want to take the chance
And if it ain't true
All it's gonna be
Is nothing but a poor romance
So give me that promise to hold on
And I'll never let you go
We gotta have something to go on
I'm letting you know now
Chorus
INDECISION
Well I found my inspiration there
In silent whispers it just came to me so clear
A simple question what was I doing there
Hesitation
When I'm standing with my prey
Indecision
About if I should blow him away
It's kind of strange
What happened from the moment on
What more can I say than reason he was gone
What they were asking was more than i could bear
Execution
What more can...can I say
The Realization
Of blowing a brother away
Something in me was gone
Something in me was gone
Hesitation
When I'm standing with my prey
Indecision
About if I should blow him away
A simple question of what was I doing there
Execution
It was not a part of me
The Realization
Of how things are going to be
In my commitment to staying away from guilt
Feel no emotion for those I've gone and killed
Heartless devotion to saving the rest of me...
I take my gun and i give it to my prey
I turn my back to him and I start to walk away
All I want is for someone to stop me there
Don't want redemption
Don't want salvation...(repeat)
In my commitment to staying away from guilt
Feel no emotion for those I've gone and killed
Heartless devotion to saving the rest of me...yeah
COMATOSE(IN THE ARMS OF SLUMBER)
The doors are closed and the walls are white
Someone calls but I don't want to talk to tonight
Stay away you all want to...stay away
I'm going to be all right...all right
Within the arms of slumber
Going to leave it all behind
Comatose gone under
Like all the other times
With pride and disdain I'm going to ignore this pain
When someone falls you're supposed to get up again
I try to oblige but I can't tonight
I'm going to be all right...all right
Within the arms of slumber
Going to leave it all behind
Comatose gone under
Like all the other times
Comfort of my dreams
I resign myself to you
Dream as I might
I'm sleping when I'm blue
Such a pleasure when I feel myself go under
So stay away...stay away
While I'm in the arms of slumber
And I'm leaving it all behind
The magic of sweet morpheus you're doing it once again
You saved me from my sadness you saved me from my pain
Protect me from depression
Protect me one more night
And I'll be all right...all right
Within the arms of slumber
Leaving it all behind
Comatose gone under
Like all the other times
Comfort of my dreams
I resign myself to you
Dream as i might
I'm sleeping when I'm blue
Such a pleasure when I feel myself go under
So stay away...stay away
While I'm in the arms of slumber
WORRIED EYES
I've tried so hard to remember
What it is that I forgot
But I can, but I can't believe...will you know
I've tried, I've tried, I've tried
Cried and kissed goodbye
To something that we both know
Boy, you blow my mind
I don't know how I'm going to
Show you what I feel for you
All I know, all I know is I...
I want to be with you
Have you ever tried to be
Have you ever tried to see
Something but you don't really know what it is
Lord, but we got to try
I look at you
I hear your voice
I try to remember...I try to remember
So don't you look at me with worried eyes
'Cause you know we got to try girl
All I know, all I know is I...
Want to be with you
Here I am and I believe
Yes I do...what I do, what I do for you
I look at you
I hear your voice
I try to remember...I try to remember
So don't you look at me with worried eyes
'Cause you know we got to try girl
All I know, all I know is I...
Want to be with you...
RAINBOW WINGS
I met the devil in disguise
With his rainbow wings and a pack of lies
I had my suspicions but they were ignored
Far away the angel cries
How far away the angel sings
Don't sell your soul for a pack of lies
Don't sell your soul
I watched him preach from the book of greed
With promises of glory and how we'll succeed
I had my suspicions but they were ignored
Far away the angel cries
How far away the angel sings
Don't sell your soul for a pack of lies
Don't sell your soul
Far away the angel cries
How far away the angel sings
Don't sell your soul for a pack of lies
Don't sell your soul
CONVERSATION
Conversation with the child who once believed in you
How does one explain to him what it is you do
He says daddy daddy please tell me it's not true
What all the people are saying...saying about you
There comes a time when one must face the life that you have led
That is a hard thing to do when lies is all that has been said
And the blameless eyes of an innocent youth
Is begging for you to tell the truth
It's such a hard way to learn...hard way to learn
The moment of truth will hurt for life
Don't need to tell you that ain't right
Come now little boy don't you cry
'Cause the child in you is still alive
Conversation with the child who once believed in you
How does one explain to him what it is you do
He says daddy daddy please tell me it's not true
What all the people are saying...saying about you
There comes a time in this child's life when the boy becomes a man
So many things from his past he now can understand
Like all the times when dad would leave and be gone for so long
And he thought everything was all right
And he thought everything was all right
This moment of truth will hurt for life
Don't need to tell you that ain't right
Come now little boy don't you cry
'Cause the child in you is still alive
Such a hard way to learn...(repeat)
WHEN MERMAIDS CRY
She was drowned in suicide
Faithless lover cast aside
This is how she came to be
Lorelei of the sea
Hopes destroyed, she wanted to find
Certain death peace of mind
Now you wonder who is she
Lorelei of the sea
Many tales have been told of sailors having died
After seen a mermaid known as Lorelei
Faithless lover that is me
And she siren of the sea
So next time that the seagulls fly
Don't you cry sweet Lorelei
Seagulls fly
When mermaids cry
Those tears won't dry
For lorelei
The guilt is mine I was untrue
The question is what am I to do
All I know is I got to try
Try to find sweet Lorelei
Make ammends for what's been done
'Cause i believe that she's the one
And I will go where seagulls fly
Try to find sweet Lorelei
Seagulls fly
When mermaids cry
Those tears won't dry
For Lorelei
There she is I hear her cry
Asking me if I will die
There ain't nothing I won't do
For you Lorelei...Lorelei
Seagulls fly
When mermaids cry
Those tears won't dry
For Lorelei
SHOOTING UP IN VAIN
Waking up as the sun goes down
Body all in pain
Straight out the door to the worst part of town
Shooting up in vain
Slips all his money to the man
Here we go again...here we go again
Got bags of mercy in the palm of his hand
Shooting up in vain
So he heads for the closest rooftop
And now he's free with the skyline behind
But it won't be long before his high will drop
Then you'll know what he'll try to find
Such a shame
Now he's back on that hunt for more
Body all in pain
Wanting to get back to where he was before
Shooting up in vain
So now he goes and sells his wedding ring
Here we go again...here we go again
But now he's sold exactly everything
Shooting up in vain
So he heads for the closest rooftop
And now he's free with the skyline behind
But it won't be long until his high will drop
Then you know what he'll try to find
Shooting up in vain
Such a shame
Such a shame
Down to the bed as the sun goes up
Body all in pain
Now he swears he's going to stop
Shooting up in vain
He's Dr. Jekyll and he's Mr. Hyde
He's got to listen to that voice deep inside
He's got a one-way ticket on a derailed train
He's got a one-way ticket on a derailed train
Shooting up in vain
Such a shame
Such a shame
Got a one-way ticket on a derailed train
Got to stop shooting up in vain...(repeat)
PERMANENT TEARS
On the day of her arrival
No one is there to meet her
Something of a sad one
A girl with permanent tears
Born without a family
Born without a name
All she ever wanted
Was to wipe her tears away
Wipe her tears away...away...away...away
If someone came to love her
And if someone came to be
The one that will protect her
Be a family
Now we will see a smile again
And tears like dreams can be
Something we will never see
Lost in her memory
Wipe her tears away
Away...away
Wipe her tears away
Tears away...away...away
She's something of a tragedy
Stands in the shade of dispair
I want to cast some light onto her world
A world of permanent tears
Born without a family
Born without a name
Free this weeping willow
From drowning in a flood of tears
Wipe her tears away
Tears away...away...away (repeat)
DEATH DEFIED BY WILL
He only thought he was going for the thrill of a ride
Wasn't in the plan to be gone for long
But he keeps looking back over his shoulder
He knows that something might go wrong
The ride it ain't smooth that is for sure
strange mood what is the cure
He's got that feeling of impending doom
Like being trapped in a casket inside a tomb
Death defied by will
Like a drug that dosen't kill
Boy you gotta learn what's true
Death defied by will
Like a drug that doesn't kill
The joke is on you
You ought to know better
You ought to know better
He is determined to outsmart this snake
With conviction he will stand his ground
Feeling invincible like death itself
But his immortality won't be found
What should he say at his own wake
That he refuses to fulfill his fate
He doesn't know that this is his last drive
On the road we call alive
Death defied by will
Like a drug that doesn't kill
Boy you gotta learn what's true
Death defied by will
Like a drug that doesn't kill
Now the joke is on you
Now the time has come
You can't play around
And you ought to know
You ought to know better
You ought to know better
Death defied by will
Like a drug that doesn't kill
Boy you gotta learn what's true
Death defied by will
Like a drug that doesn't kill
Now the joke is on you
Living In The Present Future
ARE YOU STILL HAVING FUN?
You are on your own
You do as you please
Having so much fun
Gone and lost your reason
After all is said and done
Are you still having fun?
How were you to know when you've gone astray?
That happiness would go like a lost emotion
You have always gone your way
Are you happy today?
Well you know when you've been defeated
You don't care and you thank no one
Feeling low you will always need it
Are you're having fun
You don't know what is it you've done
You don't know that...
This was your mistake with the master plan
With all the drugs you take, you can hardly stand
After all is said and done
Are you still having fun?
Well, you know when you've been defeated
You don't care and you thank no one
Feeling low you will always need it
Are you're having fun...
Are you still having fun?
You don't know what it is you've done
Just to show that you're having fun
You don't know what it is you've done
Just to show that...
I can set you straight if you let me stay
I hope I'm not too late
No you won't regret it
I can show you the way
And make you happy today
Yes, you know when you've been defeated
You don't care and you thank no one
Feeling low you will always need it
Well, you know when you're being cheated
Yes, you know when you've been defeated
Feeling low you will always need it
Now you're having fun...
And are you still having fun?
Are you still having fun?
Are you still having fun?
BEEN HERE ONCE BEFORE
You got you back up against the wall
Now you know that after all
When you make mistakes like that
There's no more turning back
Now we've gone and we lost our head
You're better off just playing dead
Once you're wearing that black hat
There's no point in turning back
I know, I know, I know
We've been here once before
I know, I know, I know
We've been here once before
All you know is you need to win
Should you go when your call comes in?
Once you see all the blood that flows
I don't think you'll be wanting more
Now I thought that was all in the past
And that peace would come at last
Once again we are at war
Yes I know we've been here before
I know, I know, I know
We've been here once before
I know, I know, I know
We've been here once before
And I don't think you'll be wanting more
We've been here once before
We've been here that's for sure
And I don't think you'll be wanting more
We've been here once before
We've been here that's for sure
BURNING UP
Would you believe me
If I said I've never lied
Though it ain't easy
I can tell you I have tried
But I've gotta say
That it comes those days
That I've told something untrue
Would you'll forgive me
If I said I've lied to you
This is my fear
To tell you what I've done
As things become clear
I'm afraid that you'll be gone
But all I know
Is if you go
At least I've told what's true
Hope you'll forgive me
When I say I've lied to you
I'm burning up
I'm burning for you
When the truth has been spoken
There's nothing to do
How will you kill me
For what I'm about to tell
Please do it gently
Because you know I'm bound for hell
All I know is I've lost my soul
I'm burning inside
Hope you'll forgive me
Yes, I have lied
I'm burning up
I'm burning for you
When the truth has been spoken
There's nothing to do
Now you know that I've gone and I've been untrue to you
And once it's told, well you know there's nothing we can do
I regret that I let this get so out of hand
I pray, you stay, that you'll understand
FIRST TO FALL
What you doing in the alley
What you doing my friend
What you doing in the alley
Are you lost again?
Ain't no good going down that road honey
Ain't no good at all
Getting down on you knees just for the money
And you're the first to fall
No shame, you feel no shame
Just come back home again
No blame, I lay no blame
Just come back home again
Going on a road trip easy rider
One thing you've got to know
You walking on a minefield
Better watch your number
Before you know, you might blow,
I can see the sand in the hourglass
And I can hear the last call
You better take your chance before it's in the past
And you're the first to fall
No shame, you feel no shame
Just come back home again
No blame, I lay no blame
Just come back home again
No shame, you feel no shame
Just come back home again
No blame, I lay no blame
Just come back home again
Just come back home again
Just come back home again
Just come back home again
Just come back home again
Just come back home again
LONELY DAYS (MILES AWAY)
Girl I can't abide
By the rules you laid down in this game
'Cause now I've gone and lost myself in you
One time you catch a ride
And it trakes you miles away
There's a chance of never feeling blue
And those lonely days will be long time forgotten
If we could find another way
Now let's contemplate is this time of passion
Strong enough to make you stay
Because I do believe in forever
And forever I will stay
And those lonely days will remain
Miles and miles away
Emotional exile
Is the safest way to play
Gotta take a chance every now and then
Irresistible change of heart
I will guide your way
We could share a life again
And those lonely days will be long time forgotten
If we could find another way
Now lets contemplate is this time of passion
Strong enough to make you stay
Because I do believe in forever
And forever I will stay
And those lonely days will remain
Miles and miles away
Miles and miles away
Miles and miles away
Miles and miles away
LONG WAY AROUND
You say what you say
And pray that one day
You'll be seen between the shadows
Now, that's a waste of your pain
Living your life like a saint
When it don't, no, it don't even matter
Even saints
Make their mistakes
Letting their dreams fall and break
Oh, it feels like living in sunshine
With the shades pulled down
Now I want you to see
How good life can be
You can turn it around
Better your life with the good times found
People will always take the long way around
Before you know it you'll be lost and found
Living in the sunshine with the shades pulled down
People will always take the long way around
I'm not afraid of pride
When it's for the right side
Don't betray what I believe in
Stand where you must stand
And I'll believe when I can
Because I'm telling you now
I've been where you're living
Will tomorrow keep it's promise
No one here can say
The past is all behind us
All we have is today
And all we have is today
People will always take the long way around
Before you know it you'll be lost and found
Living in the sunshine with the shades pulled down
People will always take the long way around
MISS FORTUNE
She is my Miss Fortune
With all the troubles we have had
When ever I am around her
I do something bad
Trouble is her lover
Trouble is her friend
When ever I am around her
I commit a sin
Trouble is her love
Troubled love
When I'm with my Miss Fortune
Once again I'm the fool
Gone and lost my composure
Gone and lost my cool
Should i let her deceive me
Should I let her in
Once again she will tease me
Once again I'll sin
Trouble is our love
Troubled love
Trouble is her lover
Trouble is her friend
Trouble is her lover
Trouble is her sin
Mom and Dad they always told me don't play with that girl
Little did they know that she would show me the world
All those things I was not to do
Little did they know that my love is true
Trouble is her lover
Trouble is her friend
Trouble is her lover
Trouble is her sin
GIVE ME ONE GOOD REASON
Give me one good reason
That I should care
Give me one good reason
And I'll be there
Like a thief, you've stolen
Like rain on a grave
Like a priest who's spoken
But failed to save
Now the air is empty
And the ground, the same
Love has gone to be buried
Beside my name
Give me one good reason
That I should care
Give me one good reason
And I'll be there
Why couldn't you have told me
About your liar's kiss?
I can't believe you'd leave me
At a time like this
And the wind is howling
And it's a dying dream
And my faith is silent
While my doubts scream
Give me one good reason
That I should care
Give me one good reason
And I'll be there
Give me one good reason
Give me one good reason
Give me one good reason
That I should care
PROMISES MADE
Promises made, they were lost
Somewhere beside you
Waiting around can leave some
Feeling like I do
Promises made, and we stayed
Dreaming of leaving
We will find good days for us
The sun will shine brightly
Live our life, if only for just
A moment
The good-byes are gone, but the echoes remain
To remind you
Oh, we could belong to the lucky ones
If we just tired to
Promises made, where we laid
Our days of believing
We will find good days for us
The sun will shine brightly
Live our life, if only for just
A moment
It's okay to cry for a moment
When promises shatter
But don't waste your tears for too long
Because soon it won't matter
Promises made, they were lost
But don't bother grieving
We will find good days for us
The sun will shine brightly
Live our life, if only for just
A moment
SHADES OF GRAY
If you start here late, no one will know what you did
No, the streets are straight, it's the soul that's crooked
I've been treated fine, I've been treated elegantly
But I'm not one for bathing in the waters of plenty
East is East, West is West
And Bowery is screaming while Delancey rests
Well, I'm south of the skating, but I'm north of the cash
I could sure use the money, but I'm ashamed to ask
The traffic has buried all of last night's rain
The words are all different but the accent is the same
The sun is white, and the moon is gray
And the river is black, blue and green
The young are young, and the old are old
And there are no shades of gray in between
There's at least ten different strains of smoke in the air
And my prints are on them all, to prove I was there
And I love the curses, but I'm not one for the trenches
And I do love the walking, but thank god for the benches
It's hard to tell where green begins, and the city gray stops
I guess the trees all bought their armor at second hand shops
My second had is working, but the minute hand is broke again
I know time will pass, but I don't know when
The sun is white, and the moon is gray
And the river is black, blue and green
The young are young, and the old are old
And there are no shades of gray in between
And there are no shades of gray in between
I know the great ones have been here, but where I can't tell
There's dreams here a plenty, but they're being withheld
And I'm more impressed with the closed doors than the ones that are open
The whole place tells time by a tower clock that's broken
The pigeons are ravens, and the gulls are vultures
And trash is art, and cash is culture
The sun is white, and the moon is gray
And the river is black, blue and green
The young are young, and the old are old
And there are no shades of gray in between
There are no shades of gray in between
There are no shades of gray in between
SHE DIDN'T BELIEVE
He's going back to Georgia
Because he knows time, and time has come
Don't even know if she'll be waiting
Because he's been gone for way too long
How long will you stay?
Boy, you don't got nine lives to waste
How long will you stay?
Saving time, losing grace
She believed every word he told her
About the troubles and how they start
She didn't listen to the laughter
She only listened to her heart
How long will you stay?
Boy, you don't got nine lives to waste
How long will you stay?
Saving time, losing grace
She didn't believe
She didn't believe
She didn't believe
She didn't believe
He made a promise to no one
That he could right a wrong
He wanted to do something just
But he was just gone
How long will you stay?
Boy, you don't got nine lives to waste
How long will you stay?
Saving time, losing grace
She didn't believe
She didn't believe
She didn't believe, believe, believe
She didn't believe what they told her, about her lover
Nothing left bet her tears, and theirs were laughter
Foever after
TOGETHER WE'LL DIE
Madness is fragile and fragile is she
In chaos she's agile and madness is me
We knew from the beginning it wasn't all right
Like being in a padded room for more than one night
Judgement escaped me I speak for us both
Like the bond that we made, let's call it an oath
Together we will live
Together we'll die
Filled with the confidence of nothing to loose
Armed with an axe and a whole lot of booze
Plans were made down to each detail
With a plan like that how could we fail?
We packed all our gear in the truck of my brother's car
Cause time is runin' out says the clock on the wall
Judgement escaped me I speak for us both
Like the bond that we made, we call it an oath
Together we will live
Together we'll die
Madness is fragile and fragile is she
In chaos she's agile and madness is me
She had the key to keeping me insane
But now I'm gone and she's got to be tamed
As I am telling you as it is true
I'm on my way to bury you
Gonna put you down under
Gonna put you down under
