OLD MAN WISE
Said she was an angel, she was mending broken wings.
Told me she could teach me how to fly.
There's no easy answer and illusions that I hold.
I watch her chase the dragon every night.
Screeching in my head.
It's burning in my bed.
(Coro)
I'm looking within.
I'm looking without.
I'm searching for signs of life.
The answers are there,
Does anybody care?
Would you talk to me, Old Man Wise...
Said he was a saviour, and his mission was to heal.
Brought him joy to take away their pain.
By the thousands they would swarm, like moths around the light.
Blinded by his image and his name.
Screeching in my head.
It's burning in my bed.
The truths in side of you.
Is it alive or dead?
(Coro)
[Solo]
(Coro)
I'm looking within.
I'm looking without.
I'm searching for signs of life.
The answers are clear,
Does anybody hear?
To talk to me, Old Man Wise...
Things got out of control...
Things got out of control...
Things got out of control...
Things got out of control... (fades)
AROUND AGAIN
Cold and walking on the hills.
While she hands him tears they share.
As the child is born,
To a brand new day.
Wars are lost and won.
As the city sleeps,
The dirty deeds are layed.
And every time you think you're right, you're wrong.
(Coro)
Now it won't be long.
Until the voice of truth has had its' say.
And it won't be long.
Til everything that's old is all remade.
Music fades in honesty.
Bathing in our sympathy.
Well the child is torn,
To a another way.
Speaking with a god.
Now the city waits,
The dirty deed replayed.
Every time that he thinks he's right, he's wrong.
(Coro)
Now it won't be long.
Until the voice of truth has had its' say.
And it won't be long.
Til everything that's old is all repaved.
Now it won't be long.
Until karma comes around again,
Around again, my friend.
[Solo]
As the raven screams,
She never see the dawn.
You look around,
And every thing you had is gone.
(Coro)
Now it won't long.
Until the voice of truth has had its' say.
And it won't be long.
Til everything that's old is all remade.
Now it won't long.
Until the wrath of truth has had its' day.
Yet it won't be long,
Until karma comes around again, my friend.
Round and round and round and round and...
Round and round and round and round and...
Round and round and round and round and...
Round and round and round and round and...
Round and round and round and round and...
Round and round and round and round and... (fades)
Round...
PAIN BEHIND YOUR EYES
Another day has come and left you...
So breathlesss and alone again, I know.
You're swimming in emotions and those chains will bring you down.
The smile that's on your face is just a show.
(Coro)
You run (you run).
You hide (you hide).
But I know right where you are.
You live (you live).
You laugh (you laugh).
But I see through your disguise.
I know (I know).
You hear (you hear).
My conscience in you mind.
You bleed (you bleed).
I die (I die).
Cause I always feel the pain behind your eyes.
Another friend has come and left you...
It's getting hard to recognize the truth, I know.
So everytime he lied to you, I read between the lines.
The smile that's on the face is just a show.
(Coro)
You can't find your way back home.
You will never be alone.
[Solo]
(Coro)
You run (you run).
You hide (you hide).
But I know right where you are.
You live (you live).
You laugh (you laugh).
But I see through your disguise.
I know (I know).
You hear (you hear).
My conscience in you mind.
You bleed (you bleed).
I die (I die).
From the pain behind your eyes.
From the pain behind your eyes.
LOVE (I DON'T NEED IT ANYMORE)
Morning light,
lands on the face another day begins.
In her eyes,
there's the story of a lover who's been disappointed once again.
So she combs her hair, she wash her face,
sings her favorite song,
and she forces out a smile.
Now the sun's the same, but her world has changed.
And everything she held so dear,
it's all on trial.
(Coro)
She said, love...
I don't need it any more.
She said, love...
It lies in pieces on her floor.
Love...
I don't need you any more.
She said, love...
It keeps on walking out that door.
Day-dream weaver,
paint a picture perfect in her mind.
Makebeliever,
they offer up a story where the ending always turns out right.
So she takes a drag of a cigarette,
with her hair in her hands,
keeps on asking why.
All the bad that comes as the goodluck goes,
She's cryin' up a river,
but the river's about to run dry.
(Coro)
She said, love...
I don't need it any more.
She said, love...
It lies in pieces on her floor.
Love...
I don't need you any more.
She said, love...
Now it's walking out her door.
[Solo]
Love...
I don't need you any more.
She said, love...
It lies in pieces on her floor.
Love...
I don't need you any more.
She said, love...
It keeps on walking out, it's walking out.
Love...
I don't need it any more.
She said love...
Lies in pieces on her bedroom floor.
Love...
I don't need you any more.
She said love...
Tell me, what the Hell is love?
Love.
Bye-bye
HEAVY D
You take me in your arms again,
You know.
I give you piece of mind.
Another place in time, my friend.
The voice used will subside.
My shadow will encompass you,
You know.
The sun will surely fade.
And all I gave I take from you.
But you you know you can't quit me.
I never set you free.
(Coro)
Show me the vein.
Feeling no pain.
Taking you higher.
Caught in the vice.
Rolling the dice.
I'm taking you down.
It can be still.
Matter or pill.
You're playing fire.
Held by your chain,
You're going insane.
I'm taking you down.
Reflections in the mirror show.
You are,
A face without a name.
You're spinning on my carrousel.
And you know you can't quit me.
(No. No.)
I'll never (never) set you free.
(Coro)
Show me the vein.
Feeling no pain.
Taking you higher.
Caught in the vice.
Rolling the dice.
I'm taking you down.
It can be still.
Matter or pill.
You're playing fire.
Held by your chain,
You're going insane.
I'm taking you down.
Down..
Down..
[Solo]
You take me in your arms again,
You will.
To still the beast inside.
I know, you won't quit me. (I'm your Jesus)
I all that you believe.
(Coro)
Show me the vein.
Feeling no pain.
Taking you higher.
Caught in the vice.
Rolling the dice.
I'm taking you down.
It can be still.
Matter or pill.
You're playing fire.
Held by your chain,
You're going insane.
I'm taking you down.
I'll show you the way.
Feeling no pain.
I'm taking you higher.
You're caught in my vice.
Rolling the dice.
I'm taking you down.
Down, down, down..
LET IT FLOW
Open up the bag of 20-20 vision, then I close my eyes.
The animation of my senses,
helps me see your image in the sky.
We can feel the pleasures of the... rain.
If you want to come in from the... rain.
Drifting through an open room,
colors that just makes me want to sleep.
Awaking and, much to my surpise,
you're there and lying next to me.
We can hear the song the ocean.. sings.
Holy water baptize me, from.. sins.
I'm letting go.
Let it flow.
We can be high again.
Just let it go.
Feel the flow.
A journey that never ends.
Invitation, to ride our shining star tonight.
Take my hand and we can fly away.
Celebration, promised moment of this night.
There will be a better way.
[Solo]
We can fly away.
(Oh) I'll take you to a place so far away.
[Solo]
Invitation, to ride our shining star tonight.
Take my hand and we can fly away.
Celebration, promised moment of this night.
There will be a better way.
[Solo]
EMPTY SOUL
The open road is calling.
I'm heading for the setting sun.
I couldn't help but thinking,
What the world was running from.
Seems everybody's running.
Everybody's hoping,
They're gonna get it right.
Cause everybody wants it.
Everybody's holding on,
just a little too tight.
(Coro)
We gotta.. try,
Looking inside.
It's been a long time.
You gotta.. try.
And ask yourself why.
Take it easy,
It's alright.
Cause you've already got,
what you're trying to find.
Here was in passing,
I pulled up for a bite to eat.
when the waitress asked me,
"hey man, what'll it be".
(whoa) and i said,
everybody's hungry.
everybody's trying to fill,
an empty soul.
and even though we know it,
everybody's holding on,
when they ought to let it go.
(Coro)
we gotta.. try, looking inside.
It's been a long time.
you gotta.. try. ask yourself why.
well take it easy,
it's alright.
cause the things that you want,
you've got to leave them behind.
cause you've already got,
what you're trying to find.
[solo]
cause everybody wants it.
everybody's holding on,
just a little too tight. (just a little).
(Coro)
we gotta.. try, looking inside.
it's been a long time.
you gotta.. try. and ask yourself why.
take it easy, it's alright.
cause the things that you want,
you've got to leave them behind.
(whoa!) cause you've already got, what you're trying to find.
OCTOBER MORNING WIND
Leaves begin that color change.
Kiss the ground like falling rain.
I hear the distant howl begin.
The cold October morning wind.
The seasons come,
And they wither like a dying rose.
My pain is measured,
By a sky that's old and grey.
A misty morning,
I awake to find it's much too late.
Pieces of time,
they keep falling down on me.
(Coro)
And it won't be long.
I can hear your song.
October Morning Wind.
I keep holding on,
'til you come back again.
The sun that's hiding once again.
It's warmth is like a long lost friend.
Picture's fading in my mind.
Memories of a young boy's life.
The weeping willow,
By the lake where we could run and play.
Lost all it's magic,
It's become a ghost in time.
The seasons came,
And they left,
Tell me where they've gone.
Pieces of my life,
They keep falling down on me.
(Coro)
And it won't be long.
I can hear your song.
October Morning Wind.
I keep holding on,
To the fading sun,
'til you come back again.
And it won't be long.
October Morning Wind.
[Solo]
And it won't be long.
I can hear your song.
October Morning Wind.
I keep holding on,
To the fading sun,
'til you come back again.
I can hear your song,
And it won't be long.
October Morning Wind.
I keep holding on,
'til you come back again.
October morning wind.
GET OFF MY CLOUD
Train me and degrade me,
But you keep me within your reach.
Love me as you hate me,
New practising what you preach.
(Coro)
Get off my cloud.
My life's just fine without you.
Get of my cloud.
Your world is on the ground.
Throw me away,
How can you be so stupid.
There's no room up here, anyway.
Judge me they you hang me,
never hearing one word I said.
Only get confusing,
of the thoughts you put in my head.
(Coro)
Get off my cloud.
My life's just fine without you.
Get of my cloud.
Your world is on the ground.
Throw me away,
How you can be so stupid.
There's no room up here, anyway.
And now you're falling,
Falling,
Back where you belong.
Yes, you're falling,
Crawling,
Back where you belong.
[Solo]
(Coro)
Get off my cloud.
My life's just fine without you.
Get of my cloud.
Your world is on the ground.
Throw me away,
How you can be so stupid.
And now you're loosing.
Get off my cloud.
Get off my cloud,
why don't you go away.
Get off my cloud,
I've got no doubts about you.
And I'll be fine without you.
TANGERINE
[Intro]
Hold my candle, love for Julie.
In the mind I feel the charms.
I can smell rosy water.
Guess it's time to know the bounds.
Life ain't always black and white,
Kalidescopes are coloring my way.
(Make pictures of wrong and right)
My signature is written with your saints.
(Coro)
Can you tell me what it means.
Searching for my, tangerine.
I can't find my tangerine.
Holy water, god of mo-jo.
Cross my fingers, say a prayer.
Burn the incense, kiss the sunshine.
Tie a feather in your hair.
It can be what it want's to be.
I close my eyes,
And see right through the air.
See the words ringing in my head.
The melody is flowing from my bed.
(Coro)
Can you tell me what it means.
Searching for my, tangerine. (Yeah).
It's almost never heard or seen.
I can't find my tangerine.
[Solo]
It can be what it want's to be.
I close my eyes,
And see it in the air.
(Coro)
Can you tell me what it means.
Searching for my, tangerine. (Yeah.. yeah)
It's almost never heard or seen.
(No, it's never heard. It's never seen. Now.)
I can't find my tangerine.
[Solo]
Find my tangerine...
ROBIN'S SONG
Is there something I could say,
to make you change your mind.
Never thought I'd have to write this song. (I was wrong.)
When I see you on the streets,
I see it in your eyes.
Your love is gone,
My love was wrong.
Hope you find the things you said you need.
I'm just dying here 'cause it's not me.
(Coro)
Do you think about me,
Smile about me,
I can't stand this pain without you.
Did somebody steal your heart away?
Do you love without me,
Cry about me,
Do you feel this pain that I feel.
You're the only one to 'member(??)
Everybody gives a smile,
And says to let you go.
I don't know if I can be that strong.
When you call me on the phone,
It hurts to say goodbye.
My friend is gone.
My love was wrong.
Hope you find the things you said you need.
Well I've been cryin' here 'cause it's not me.
(Coro)
Do you think about me,
Smile about me,
I can't stand this pain without you.
Did somebody steal your heart away? (Oooh)
Do you love without me,
Cry about me,
Do you feel this pain that I feel.
You're the only one to 'member(??)
Did you realy feel the way you told me.
Did you cry those tears or were you joking. (Yeah)
[Killer Acoustic Solo!]
Did you cry those tears or were you joking. (Yeah)
Tell me baby,
Do you think about me,
Smile about me,
I can't stand this pain without you.
Did somebody steal your heart away? (Yeah)
Do you love without me,
Cry about me,
Do you feel this pain that I feel.
I guess somebody stole your heart from me. (Ooooh)
FOR YOU
Color you in shades of blue,
I live for every tear you cry.
Wanting you, I worship you.
Can't you see for you I'd die.
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't know it, can't feel it.
You don't see it, but I'd do it,
I'd do it, I'd give it all...
(Coro)
For you.
For you.
For you.
For you.
In my head shades of red,
Burning cold behind my eyes.
You're the drug that kills the pain.
That eats a hole,
Right through my life.
[Pre-Chorus]
(Coro)
And late at night,
I lie awake,
There is no peace,
You're in my dreams.
I can't escape.
