Did you notice that just recently in London town
The flags all waved
The people smiled a lot, the world was right
But now it seems that nothing's changed
My ears are ringing with the promise
The promise that they'll right the wrongs
And that they're ever gonna give you
Democracy, Democracy (you wanna bet?)

We've been down this path a million times
And yet there seems no hope for us
These times are hard and yet the few do well
The rest can wallow in the dust
And if you're looking for the answers
You won't need a chrystal ball
'Cause they're not taking any chances on
Democracy, Democracy (not on you life)

Don't tell me revolution changed a thing in France
'Cept for a king or two
'Cause when it's Bastile Day a toxic time bomb ticks
In the Pacific blue
'Cause revolution changes nothing
And voting changes even less
'Cause it's only time you are wasting on
Democracy, Democracy (there's none round here)

I get up and save the world
And though it may be a game
I know it may sound absurd
But I dig the challenge

Gotta hit the sites
Because I'm always surfin', always surfin'
Surfin' for my life

Chatting with a new made chum
Doesn't know I look a bum
She thinks that I'm 6 foot 3
Look like Jason Priestly

Gotta hit the sites
Because I'm always surfin', always surfin'
Surfin' for my life
Surfin' - Looking for a new dimention
Surfin' - Something for my attention
Surfin' - Fire my imagination, Russian porn or new playstation

I get up and save the world
And though it may be a game
I know it may sound absurd
But I dig the challenge

Gotta hit the sites
Because I'm always surfin', always surfin'
Surfin' for my life

Black night
All still
Stealth calls
Cold kill
Night gloves
Black gown
Job done
Quit town

We're just having some fun
Messing round with a gun
Don't get excited
I'm just killing some time
It's a fantasy crime
And I'm living it again

Cops swarm
The scene
Detective
Is keen
Autopsy
The clue
Strobe flashing
Persued

She knows - about all the evil in this world
She knows - what blackness lurks in our souls
She parts her lips and gives me a literary quip
Sharper and sweeter than any cat-o-nine tails whip

She makes me feel like a king
She is the reasoning that makes life swing

She says - come on and swing away from blue
She says - don't yeild to it's atmospheric hue
She's got the power to make things turn out right
Even in the darkest hour of the very blackest night

She makes me feel like a king
She is the reasoning that makes life swing

Eyes limped and pools of passion
Lips of deepest darkest damson
Fingers probing show white skin
Like a leather disciplinary
Looking rather predatory
Like an emissary of sin

She knows - we've got nothing more to prove
She knows - we're dancing in a dead mans shoes
She says let's check out of this haunted hotel
Where all the corridors and doorways are leading straight to hell

She makes me feel like a king
She is the reasoning that makes life swing
She makes me feel like a king
She is the reasoning that makes life swing

She drags my world awake

I know it
You know it
They know it
But I don't care
Communication breakdown
Is everywhere
Faster, faster
Thrill me baby, yeah
I'm fueled up and ready
(but hey)
Don't mess up my hair

You want some action baby, yeah?
Lookin' for action baby, yeah?
You want some action baby, yeah?
You want some action baby, yeah, yeah, yeah

Passed over
Kicked over
I'll take it all
I don't care
Gimme your heart
Gimme art
But daddio it just
Get's me nowhere
They think I make deals
With the devil
But you gotta know
Gotta find me some new kicks
Baby, I just gotta go, go, go, go

Suddenly, you are twice the man you used to be
Excessive fame in quick death
Would it be different
If he had gone instead
Would you be so hot if you wern't dead?

Famously, you spoke of love philosophy
You're a hypocrite, your
Cruel lack of empathy is long forgot
Would you be so hot if you wern't dead?

Tragically,
There's others better than you, don't you see
Damn the groveling writers
Who disregard your flaws
I have to ask
Would you be hot if you wern't dead?

I can take all of your dreams
Tramsform the way you feel
Make life a little easier
For you to face your fears
As the evening starts to crawl
Dark shadows on the walls
Are dancing and inviting you
To come and taste it all

If you want to take a chance
Seduction's in a glass
Taking you to another place

Come taste this lunacy
Be blinded by the green faerie
Creeping out of your glass
Into your mind
Then you can really see
I can take all of your fears
Trandform the way you feel
Welcome to the spirit world
Where all your dreams are real

If you want to take a chance
Seduction's in a glass
Taking you to another place

As the evening starts to crawl
Dark shadows on the walls
Are dancing and inviting you
To come and taste it all
I can take all of your fears
Trandform the way you feel
Welcome to the spirit world
Where all your dreams are real

And now our trip to wonderland
Has finally come to an end
And if you're not completely mad...
I will be your best friend

This is my house please come on in
It's time to cleanse yourself of sin
Get thee down upon your knees
'Cos non-belief is a disease, Amen

Come all ye faithful, heed the bells
This trip could save you all from hell
Burning crosses through the night
Come and join the holly fight, Amen

So you hear your shephard calling
My wraith won't be denied
Don't stand there looking sheepish
Come and join the flock inside

Who says these people are insane
It's only brainwash, quite humane
A thousand channels take your pick
Another mystic lunatic, Amen

Think you can challenge me come on
I've seen 'em all off one by one
Old Gallileo's long forgot
Though he was right and we were not, Amen

Deliver you from evil
That never was the plan
To those who fall for this one
Deserve the lousy hand

This twisted truth, this slight of hand
Has kept the devil in command
Beyond those gates up in the sky
Sign up now for apple pie, Amen

Michael used to tell us he was bad, bad, bad
And all his funky records made us glad, glad, glad
But when I saw his face, yeah, I was sad, sad, sad
Wuith his only friend a chimp you know it's mad, mad, mad
Neverland, Neverland

Even when he's telling you that black is white
Just some fancy dancing you can stop a fight
Grooving in the forest makes it al alright
What a man, a big hand
Nevcerland, Neverland

The cola king could sit and count the cost, cost, cost
Thinking about the childhood that he lost, lost, lost
You know he couldn't even give a toss, toss, toss
At least he marginally better than the boss, boss, boss
Neverland, Neverland

Even when he's telling you that black is white
Just some fancy dancing you can stop a fight
Grooving in the forest makes it al alright
What a man, give him a hand
Did you love his kingships daughter?
Did you cherish her and take her by the hand?
The papers say that it was all a put up show,
But I don't know, I don't know
Neverland, Neverland

Even when he's telling you that black is white
Just some fancy dancing you can stop a fight
Grooving in the forest makes it al alright
What a man, give him a hand
Neverland, Neverland

I've woken from darkness with passion
You're surely to blame for it
This torture so wicked
You hurt me just for the hell of it

'Til the end of time
The end of time
You will be mine

You want me, I need you
Don't ever say that it cannot be
You're wondering, I'm dreaming
I hope and pray that you'll stay with me

'Til the end of time
The end of time
You will be mine

Love don't play be rules so
Ignore the world when it cannot see
Feels strange now, I'm chained now
It's only you that can set me free

'Til the end of time
The end of time
You will be mine

I sit in the dark and, and wonder
Wonder what might have been
Alone now forever no sweeter pain
Than those memories

Obscene
The scene
The dream
Obscene

Demi-gods on golden thrones
Spend most of their time all alone
We're living through them until a decent to hell
Becomes our breakfast thrill

Flesh and blood to dust return
But fantasy we learn goes on and on

The dream
Shining with an inner light
Indefinable and bright
We begin to smell the kill
Sharing every precarious thrill

Flesh and blood may now decay
But forever young - always you will stay

Obscene
The scene
The dream

But look - coming on the scene
Another cat to die for teenage dream

Obscene
The scene
The dream
Obscene

You could spend your time
In a darkened room
Just to gather folks opinions
Can you stand the heat?
Can you wrong the rights
And I love you, thanks a million

And if there's a god
Let him strike you down
Knowing that you can't deliver
But you held me up
And you hung me out
And we're waiting still for you to bring

Light to a darkened room
But I know you will
It'll make my day
When I see your face
On a dollar bill
And they counted you out
Then they counted you in
And they're counting still
And for all the lies you're about to tell
May the lord make us
Truely thankfull

In a two horse race
If you bet each way
Could you maybe stay the distance
And if I should hide
From your puppeteers
Will they make me look ridiculous
Did you like the game
Can you take the blame
After all the dust has settled
Did you ever hope
For a hopeless world
Hungry for the time that you'd bring a

Light to a darkened room
But I know you will
It'll make my day
When I see your face
On a dollar bill
And they counted you out
Then they counted you in
And they're counting still
And for all the lies you're about to tell
May the lord make us
Truely thankfull

We could talk all night
Never touch the side
But I don't mean to demean you
Ever felt the cold
When you saw the light
Did the mirror show that dream of you
All the endless miles
And the babies smiles
While the mothers pledge allegiance
To uphold the wrong
To opress the right
Ready to sign up when you bring the

Light to a darkened room
But I know you will
It'll make my day
When I see your face
On a dollar bill
They counted you out
Then they counted you in
And they're counting still
And for all the lies you're about to tell
May the lord make us
Truely thankfull

Flickering, the shadows fall across my eyes
Across the walls
Time engulfs me once more
I'm in the place and I'm enthralled
This mists that creep, the hound that howls
The lightning illuminates the towers

Is it only I can see
The beauty of the beast?
(Your magic never ceased)

With quickening pulse what lies behind the door
A curious step retreats once more
The creature with a darkened soul
A story of the Damned unfolds
Bela, Boris, Basil, Lon, Lorre, Vincent, now all gone
Looming pallid on the screen

The beauty of the beast
Your magic never ceased

And now though a curtain has been drawn
You go on forever as before...
