- Angels of Night
Sunset on candle road, stores are closed, the street lamps light up,
We take the long way home and dream of where the night will take us,
I'll roll all the windows down, let the magic in, and I'll float out,
I've been looking for a way to let it go and let it be ok for now.
Angels of night,
Hide in the half light,
Praying for souls like mine,
- By Your Side
Born in the plains
A farmer’s sons and brothers the same
Raised on promises we’d stay that way
As boys we believed summers at the sea
We were free to become men of good will
Side by side
And we were children then
Footprints in the sand
- Choose Your Blade
t was a numinous night, wet and cold like the last week of autumn
I felt a shiver dividing my bones from the top to the bottom
And there were two of me then, one part flesh and the other a phantom
To the phantom I said, get behind me, ye vamp of Diablo
It said, you speak out of turn, I am born of the shadow inside you
And I have lived in your heart and with it I've become quite accustomed
- Dangerous
I think I like where I'm standing
I think I hate it too
'Cause it's safe on the side of caution
But baby, it's so far away from you
And if I try my best, I still can't find a way to let it go
And it's so much work pretending to move on
- Elevator
This elevator goes straight to the top of the line
Everybody's talking about it
This elevator don't stop 'til we learn how to fly
Everybody's talking about it
Why don't we shout about it?
I want to know what you know, when you know
I want to go where you go, when you go
- God
Maybe God is a rich man
Who saved up his money and moved out the city
Then settled in the suburbs
And built up his fences to protect his possessions
And nobody sees him
But the church spreads rumors that he's coming back again
But if God is a rich man, why am I so poor?
- I Am a Symbol
I am a symbol, I am a flame,
I object to the objective,
I won't play the game
I am a symbol, I am a flame,
I'm resolved in my resistance,
A witness to your wrongs,
I am a symbol,
I am a flame
- If
I could be in love, if
You wore that dress everyday
With your hair just-so and your eyes are grey
You'd make a beautiful bird on a line,
A beautiful bride of Frankenstein,
A beautiful drop of iodine
If you were mine (x3)
- In Love With Faces
i'm in love with the faces
of a thousand nameless girls.
and i'm in love with the chases
for the unintanable.
i'm in love, but i'm tasteless.
i only want whats bad for me.
and i'm in love with a waitress,
- In The Valley of the Dying Sun
In the valley of the dying sun
I walk a crooked path alone
I came across the shadow of a man
With an angel's breath
"Oh, boy," he said to me
"I see your future
Though you long for peace
- Lose Control
I cast no shadow on the grave,
No one knows my name.
I ride the winds of seven seas,
Gone before the rain.
I am both friend and enemy,
An object of disdain.
Livin'it up in the down and out,
I roll with the foxes and hunt with the hounds.
- Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da
Desmond has his barrow in the market place.
Molly is the singer in a band.
Desmond says to Molly "Girl, I like your face"
And Molly says this as she takes him by the hand.
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, brah!
Lala how the life goes on.
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, brah!
Lala how the life goes on.
- Remember the Empire
Here they threaten with murder and bribe us with peace.
Here they treat us like slaves and convince us we’re free.
There’s no turning back once enough is enough,
We can’t, but we must, so
(chorus 1)
Stand, stand up!
What choice have they given us?
- salt in the sea
Here's to wasted time
Here's to wasted time
Watching the tree's swaying in the breeze
The corners of my mind
The corners of my mind
Are folding to meet like a secret that you keep
- Suspect
It's a conspiracy,
A cold war in the heart's of men,
I opened up my eyes,
How I wish I could close them again,
Who is the sentinel?
Who keeps the peace when the dogs run free?
My cover's jeopardized,
Motor's hummin?, are they coming for me?
- Your Wurlitzer
I did a casting call. it came out all wrong.
You got the lead role. you want the walk on.
The other passers-by they don't have clue
That when I wrote the part I wrote it for you baby.
You try too hard to get it. it only takes a minute.
Here and now. it's right in front of you.
It doesn't matter to you. you're only twenty and two.
