Long ago
When you could fly
They wrote your name
Into the sky
With praises
That you later read
Illusions spin
Inside your head
Around the corner
Around the bend
Lay a promise
That never ends
Now back to earth
With broken wings
Invisible
To everything
That’s the way the river flows
That’s the way it all explodes
It’s an action
Then reaction
And you know
Living it up above the fray
The air is very thin, they say
A distraction
From your passion
And your soul
Now the fading
Is complete
No one knows you
On the street
You wait in line
Then take your seat
Invisible
From head to feet
When you decide
To leave the race
So many coming
To take your place
You walk contented
Past the crowd
Invisible
Without a sound
That’s the way the river flows
That’s the way it always goes
It’s an action
Then reaction
And you know
Living it up above the fray
The air is very thin, they say
A distraction
From your passion
And your soul
Cause that’s the way the river flows
That’s the way it all explodes
It’s an action
Then reaction
And you know
Living it up above the fray
The air is very thin, they say
A distraction
From your passion
And your soul
That’s the way the river flows
That’s the way it always goes
It’s an action
Then reaction
And you know
Living it up above the fray
The air is very thin, they say
A distraction
From your passion
And your soul

Dream

Why do I have to keep on running
Running after you?
Your attention
So addictive
I just don’t know what to do
Keep on playing me
Keep on playing me
I’m beguiled to the bone
I got a dream and it’s all about you
I just wish I had a clone
You’re a force of nature nature nature
Know exactly where you been
You been all up in the clouds of heaven
Teaching angels how to sin
In your heart I’ll dive
Keeps me alive
I can’t keep flying high
When I got no place to go
The destiny I have in mind
We’ll never know
Point out the devil to me, devil to me
I’m prepared to make a deal
Because you’re beautiful
I love you love you love you
To be damned would be a steal
This dream I have
Keeps blurring, recurring, occurring
Recurring
You’re throwing scraps down at your feet
Just to let me think it’s real
I can’t keep flying high
When I got no place to go
The destiny I have in mind
We’ll never know
I can’t keep holding on
When I got nothing to hold
Your dream’s inside me now
And my soul’s already sold
I can’t keep holding on
I can’t keep holding on
Down
I can’t keep flying high
When I got no place to go
The destiny I have in mind
We’ll never know
I can’t keep holding on
When I got nothing to hold
Your dream’s inside me now
And my soul’s already sold

Super Anti-Hero

Sundown
You’d better run
Cause I’ll be burning like a fireball
A loaded gun
I gotta break the chains
I gotta rearrange
I got a situation I gotta change
The sun comes up
And all is fair
Sleep comes to your eyes
Super Anti Hero has survived
Another night
Morning breaking
All is right
Makes you wonder why
All your world intensifies
With passing of the light
Something going down
Clicking inside my head
Tightrope holding on to the edge
Of my bed
I got a feeling that no loving can ever
Kill in me
Don’t you go stepping in the way of what you might see
You don’t wanna see
The sun comes up
And all is fair
Sleep comes to your eyes
Super Anti Hero has survived
Another flight
Morning breaking
All is right
Makes you wonder why
All your world intensifies
With passing of the light
( riff)
Sundown
You’d better run
Cause I’ll be burning like a fireball
A loaded gun
Cause what I do is never done
You know my fire’s burning brighter
Than a thousand suns
Sundown
You’d better run
Cause I’ll be burning like a fireball
A loaded gun
Cause what I do is never done
You know my fire’s burning brighter
Than a thousand suns
Than a thousand suns

Big Block

I can’t tell you honestly baby
Where you lost your mind
Hoping for a miracle on
The Island of the Blind
Clap politely, is the response
When the song is done
More and more keep telling yourself
This is all part of the fun
And the wheels go round
While the stomach turns
And you leave the ground
As the ashes burn
See the broken lens
Shows the real, true thing
Then the great Big Block
Erases everything
Making words believe in themselves
Is an art form of a kind
Grasping branches that are too weak
To hold the weight of lies
You may find the answer you seek
At the end of a loaded gun
It’s become a ponderous chain
You carry all the time
And the wheels go round
Every monkey wins
Then the great Big Block
Erases everything
And the wheels go round
While the stomach turns
And you leave the ground
As the ashes burn
See the broken lens
Shows the real, true thing
Then the great Big Block
Erases everything
Erases everything
Erases everything
Then the great Big Block
Erases everything

Still

I believe I see a little more light today
It’s a little more bright today
Come on, and bring yourself ‘round
I believe I see all the various points you made
And a terrible price was paid
When I brung you down
(To love you more)
Thrown against the crashing waves
And super charged with ranting raves (to love you more)
The drowning one who never sees the shore
On this solid ground
I make my stand
To still my heart and love you more
I perceive that the feelings are more than mutual
And that this whole ritual
Can end
Right here and now
The world we’ve seen is so unbelieveable
It seems inconceivable, now,
To damage our vow
(To love you more)
I can find a thousand ways
To see me through a thousand days (to love you more)
Just walking endless circles
On the floor
On this solid ground
I make my stand
To still my heart and love you more
Still my heart
And
Love you more
(To love you more)
Thrown against the crashing waves
And super charged with ranting raves (to love you more)
The drowning one who never sees the shore
On this solid ground
I make my stand
To still my heart and love you more
To love you more
On this solid ground
I make my stand
To still my heart and love you more
To love you more

Situation
04:32

Look at me, throwing everything I got away
Cause I can’t move
And I can’t stay
You wanna tell me all about the hand of fate
I got a little something for you
And it ain’t a cake
Take it
Take it
Come on, take it
Go on, take it
Cause that’s the situation
That’s the situation
That’s the situation
That’s the situation
Crawl under the wire
Run till you tire
Preach to the choir
Climb over the wall
Walk till you fall
Then, have it all
I can’t just carry on, trying to fake it
The truth is always there to laugh at me
There’s a little something I forgot to mention
I’m here to set you free
Take it
Take it
Go on, take it
Cause that’s the situation
That’s the situation
That’s the situation
That’s the situation
Crawl under the wire
Run till you tire
Preach to the choir
Climb over the wall
Walk till you fall
Then, have it all
Take it
Take it
Come on, take it
Go on, take it
Cause that’s the situation
That’s the situation
That’s the situation
That’s the situation
Crawl under the wire
Run till you tire
Preach to the choir
(That’s the situation)
Climb over the wall
Walk till you fall
Then, have it all
Crawl under the wire
Run till you tire
Preach to the choir
(That’s the situation)
Climb over the wall
Walk till you fall
Then, have it all

Bad Blood

I’ve… got so very little time
One more mountain left to climb
Hold my hand up in anticipation
Now… we are face to face again
No more messages to send
Got you right here where I want you
And I want you right here, where I got you
What happens?
That depends
One last chance
To bring an end
To this
Bad Blood
Love into hate
And hating to love
Bad Blood
No one here is ever really innocent of it now
I… know the meaning of the word
It’s a word you never heard
Cause we fill our hearts with mindless anger
Now... here I stand in front of you
And there’s nothing left to do
Take a bite out of the apple
Lay it all upon the table
Take yourself a souvenir
Bad Blood
Love into hate
And hating to love
Bad Blood
No one here is ever really innocent of
Bad Blood
Dragging everything we got
Around in the mud
Bad Blood
Cursing at the rain
While ignoring the flood
Now… there is nothing left to sell
Everybody’s mad as hell
And they’re lashing out
In sheer frustration
The outcome never clear
All I know is we’re all here with this
Bad Blood
Love into hate
And hating to love
Bad Blood
No one here is ever really innocent of
Bad Blood
Dragging everything we got
Around in the mud
Bad Blood
Cursing at the rain
While ignoring the flood
Bad Blood
Love into hate
And hating to love
Bad Blood
No one here is ever really innocent of
Bad Blood
Dragging everything we got
Around in the mud
Bad Blood
Cursing at the rain
While ignoring the flood

Insomnia

She’s got a line
On your heart and mind again
She knows the game
Ignoring signs
Close your eyes and count to ten
You feel the same
Pretense hides fears
Of inventing alibis
You want some more
She’ll show you all
Of the candy colored sky
Walk through the door
Burn down the temple of love
Just to find a place and time
Where anything goes
And she knows
Break down the walls that protect you
Just to let
The fever infect you
More
You’ve got a black mark
On your back again
You’re wasting time
Soon all the things that you said
Will bite you back
She knows the sign
Burn down the temple of love
Just to find a place and time
Where anything goes
And she knows
Break down the walls that protect you
Just to let
The fever infect you
More
Burn down the temple of love
Just to find a place and time
Where anything goes
And she knows
Break down the walls that protect you
Just to let
The fever infect you
More
Where anything goes
Where anything goes
Where anything goes
Any way you want it now…….
Burn down the temple of love
Just to find a place and time
Where anything goes
And she knows
Break down the walls that protect you
Just to let
The fever infect you
More
Burn down the temple of love
Just to find a place and time
Where anything goes
And she knows
Break down the walls that protect you
Just to let
The fever infect you
More
Anyway you want it now
Anyway you want it now

Once blind and innocent
You took the narrow road
With your hope
And your faith
All neatly in a row
But on the great dividing line
Between love and what you wish to find
You stumble
And you fall
Looking past the treasures bared
To a place that really isn't there
Fingers on the metal wheel
With the grinding sound of time
That slips away
Angelic one
It's time to wander from the fold
Now you know
What you know
And it's more than good for your soul
Pretending everything is
Black, white and red
In your mind
There's a bind
Of presumptions in your head
Look to where the colours flow
It's a fluid place where spirits grow
Not a mansion
On a hill
Pointing arrows in the air
As if anyone should really care
Beating plowshares into swords
It's a losing game
You're bound to fade away
Angelic one
It's time to wander from the cold
Now you know
What you know

Through the windows of a foreign train
Look around… look around
Destinations with unfamiliar names
At the speed of sound
Nowhere bound
In the distance I see lighted signs
Advertising the life
I want to leave behind
Looking forward to the other side
Where no one can sell you
Night falling and I see Apollo rise
Hand into heaven
Turn away with a heavy sigh
How can I
Touch the sky?
I lay back in my seat and dream
No way of knowing
Where this foreign train is taking me
Taking me
Taking me
Touch the sky………
