01. Rude Awakening

You know I tried to trust you
You know I really tried
But when I turn my back on you baby
In goes the knife

You think you got them blinded
Claiming all you find is yours
Greedy two faced nothing
Who do you think you are?

You know there's
Gonna be a big rude awakening
You're a phony disgrace
They'll soon be on to you darlin
You better find a new space

You cheated and lied this evening
Had you planned on leaving?
Be gone
Your money won't buy you happiness woman
Free to steal
So long

You think you've got them blinded
Claiming all you find is yours
Think you would have learned by now
Who do you think that you are

Gonna be another Rude Awakening
You're a phony and a disgrace
They'll soon be on to ya darlin
You better find a new space

02. The Mess I've Made

I have faith in love
For a long time it was gone
Maybe it's catching up with me
I may not have you
But I've got this day to share
No longer in the deep cold summer freeze

And if I never make it back
Remember that I love you babe
And the sun is still shining down on you
I may be home tomorrow
I may be another year
Sweet darlin what a mess I've made

Ramblin and traveling
Ever since I've known
where the road's been always good to me
That's where I met you
Some things will never change
Sometimes it's the only place I can never get some peace

I've been waiting for the sun to shine
And it's finally sneaking through
what's missing is your touch
and your loving ways
Sweet Darling what A mess I've made
What A mess I've made
Look at the mess

There's an aching in my heart since we've parted
And it's crying only out for you
Oh my love
Meet me down the road

03. In And Out Of Time

The sky is crying
Who's looking over and out for you
The War machine is lying on the ground
Are we waiting for power to make its big mistake
Better learn to rely on love and not the hate

We're running In And Out Of Time
There's' a blood red skyline

They're sleeping in their minds it's time to awaken
clear the aristocracy
brethren this is no Milan vacation

Are we waiting for the messengers of power to throw it all away
it's not happening tomorrow it's happening now
Today

We're running in and out of time
on the blood red sky blind

So I'm writing a letter of hope tonight
Send a message
To who will maybe hear
I don't understand what they are fighting for
And if I make it back
I will prove to you
It was nothing
All for nothing
Both sides are hoping
Praying
Feeling
All the same

What's going through their minds and dreams please tell me
System is fading slowly out
It's gonna be a rude awakening
Over and out

I'll be waiting for the messengers of power to throw it all away
it's not happening tomorrow
it's happening now
Today

04. Hello Angel

This situation
is getting mean
Gothenburg was a heavy scene
I packed a small one
To keep it clean
Man I gotta leave this routine

Twenty four hours
Never sleeps
Cats are scratching and there ain't no peace
I've got to do what I've got to do
To keep together what is left of the truth
I want
I need to wake from this dream
Don't go away
I'll be there soon
I need you to heal my soul

[Chorus:]
Hello Angel
Come and hold me
And keep me to yourself
Nobody else
Please believe me how I wanna go
Take me home

This situation
is outa hand
A storm has taken this foreign land
I've got to prove what I've got to prove
Or did you notice the broken dam
I want
I need to wake from this dream
Don't go away
I'm leaving soon
I need you to heal my soul

Hello Angel
Come and hold me
and keep me to yourself
there's no one else
Please believe me how I wanna go
This picture of your face has got me in a spell
I must be leaving again
For the stage is set and the band starts playing soon
My love

How many hours did I sleep
Dogs are howling in the night for peace
I've got to find out before the sun
What is chasing and what's begun

[Chorus]

Hello Angel

05. Fat City N.O.

I' ve gone through a lot for my freedom
Lost a life along the way
left home everything I own
as I headed to join the charade
got caught up with the wild and the madness
I may have gone too far I must confess
I must confess

Got my money hid away in the gas tank
Gotta keep it steady no joke no mistake
yeah I'll be telling you to hold on
Strapped in my four forty Hemmy burning

[Chorus:]
Long live Fat City
Got nothin to lose
White / blue
Down the avenue
You're worth everything I know
Long live Fat City
Out blowing a fuse
Set This Town Alight

I found my way out the backstreet
Glad to be alive
A hundred more miles I'll be long gone
No more fighting or scrapes to survive
Up ahead says rest for riders
Headlights maybe red lights beware
Look into my rear view mirror
they're closer than they do appear
Another minute I'll be Far away
Another second I'll be shifting gears

[Chorus]

I've paid a lot for my freedom
I never wondered why
My memory's clear and reminds me daily
It was so close but I passed them by
There was a space by the policeman
Gun shots all around over my head
They'll never arrest me man...yeah right
So I look into my rear view mirror
They're closer than they will appear
Another minute I'll be far away
Another second I'll be shifting gears

Long Live Fat City New Orleans

06. Tower

The ocean
She is raging
No land is in sight for miles
Sails in the sunset
From the wind
May be torn
They must come down
Our compass directing to the west
Legend promises all
Women and children hardly safe
How many more days

If we make it to land
All will be ours
If they don't understand
We're burning the towers

Claim superior race over nations
Eric's sons' command
Starting a New World over leagues
By the law of there own hands
Reward is your freedom
You're slaves of your questioning words

Women and children hardly safe
How many more days if we make it to land
All will be ours
If they don't understand
We're burning the towers

Taking over the world
Don't you know you're a part of it all?
Over the seas
Fighting tonight in the desert skies

Charting on the shore all we see is land for miles
Fighting in the New World that is ours
No defeat is allowed

Women and children nearly saved
How many more days
If we make it to land all will be ours
Since we don't understand
We're burning their Towers

Taking over the world
Don't you know you're a part of it all?
Over the seas
Fighting tonight in the desert skies
Part of it all
Some of us starting to realize
We're taking over the world
Over the world
Over the world

07. Pilot Of Your Soul

Slow down
Can't you see you're moving too fast?
I believe you're headed down
Too high
You're gonna crash

So late and it's been such a long time
Through extremes and sinking too low
To satisfy your senses only
Going surely against the flow

Let the Pilot Of Your Soul guide you
When You're broken and there's no where to turn
There's always one more try
Bear the fight

Hold On
Even though you've only a thread
I believe there's hope for you listen
You're better off alive
.............oh yeah yeah yeah

So read between the lines
Is it clearer ?
Do you climb the walls and hope for the truth?
The closing in is just an illusion
Does the mirror claim that it's you ?

Let the Pilot Of Your Soul guide you
When you're broken and there's no where to turn
There's always one more try
Bear the fight
You can bear it
Always one more try

08. Forever And More

Packed her bags and headed for the station
It's five A.M. and cold enough to slide
I looked around
There's no information
Where are you going?
Are you safe tonight?

Now the summer's gone
Don't know where you are
The hardest part is the love for you
Oh my love

While half way there to the destination
Touchdown in Dallas
Staggers from the plane
She looks around
But he's not waiting
What has she done
What has she done
Now the summer's gone
I know where you are
The hardest part is the love for you

[Chorus:]
There's a letter written for you
Tell me how can I get through
What am I supposed to do your heart is in mine
And it's slowly beating
What happened to Forever And More

All my friends say go away for a while
Down to the ocean where the air is clean
But I'm still waiting for a message from you
I'm still waiting
I'm still waiting

Now the summer's gone
Don't know where you are
The hardest part is the love for you

[Chorus]

It's six A.M.
The phone is ringing
I say hello is there anybody there
If it's a dream I need to awaken
Where are you love?
I'm far away
The winter's here
You know what I fear
Can I see you ?
will you be on your way?
I'm on my way

Here's a letter written for you
Don't know how I ever got through
What was I supposed to do
Your heart is in mine and it's slowly beating
Here's a letter written from you
Don't know how you ever got through
What are we supposed to do ?
Our hearts are together
Mine in yours
Forever and more

09. Turning Off The Emotion

Found you in the dark
Reeking of a cheap perfume
Hiding in the park
Why are you so alone?
No one knows her name
Is it just a good disguise?
Just another fallen angel cast aside

[Chorus:]
She says it's alright being alone
As she hides from herself
Turning Off The Emotions
A broken angel sometimes in white
Riding the waves 'till the fear and the fight is gone
To another song
What's so wrong?
So she loves the sun

Found you in the car
No more fuel a hazy day
Have you gone too far
trusting no one

She says it's alright being alone as she hides from herself
Turning Off The Emotions
A broken Angel sometimes in white
Riding the waves 'till the morning and moonlight says it's alright
She is her home
Finding herself Turning Off The Emotions
A lonely angel searching for life
Riding the waves 'till the fear and the fight is gone

Found you in the dark
Drinking all that she could find
Hiding in the park
Still so alone

Says it's alright
leave it alone

[Chorus]

10. Live For Today

Storm's closing in
The kind that makes the world upside down
Following the clouds
Is it another old illusion that it's all O.K.?
Won't it go away for good?
At times it makes us pass the time so slowly
Maybe I should say I would one more time

Time to live
Living for today
So much to give
Something's on the way

So here it is again
It's waiting like a long lost friend
Stealing from your hand
Where's your higher faith?
Why can't you hear it?
So would you?

Won't it go away for good?
At times it makes us pass the time so slowly
Maybe I should say I should let it go

Time to live
Living for today
So much to give
Something's on the way

Storm's closing in
The kind that makes the world turn
Upside down
Here it is again like a long lost friend

11. Illusion

You've gotta give it all that you've got
No it's never labour if that's what you love
Tonight we're going over the top

And maybe changing the pace
One thing is for certain
It's all rearranged when comes the push
Here's how it feels
Pushing through your life of illusion
You've got to push it to the limit
Change the station
Into the light and through the confusion

When night-time comes we're rolling into your town
If we've been to sleep or not
It's just begun and once we're really moving on
We're never wanting to stop

So let us take you away
Living for the minute
And yes for today in for the push
Push it to the limit

Well one is too little and ten is not enough
You've gotta give it all that you've got
No it's never labour if that's what you love
Tonight we're going over the top
And never changing the pace
One thing's for certain
We're all rearranged when comes the push
Mode is interplay
Recreation recreation

12. The Storm

Kiss it all to the wind
It's never goodbye my friend
I'll see you again
Remember this life is just a game
You keep me holding on
Reaching for morning till the lightning comes
And for the life that's ahead
Though no one know what's forever there
No more darkness
I can't exist in the light
Now I know I'm not the only one
On this uphill climb

Carry on
We've come so far
Did we have to wait so long
We were almost there
You may need someone to talk to
It's never too late to find
We all need someone
To lean on sometime
We have weathered the storm

Remember the silence
It's important to you
Remember the darkness my friend
It's the same as the fool
Remember your will
It's with you till morning
Till the life's reborn

Carry on
We've come so far
We had to wait so long
We are almost there
You may need someone to talk to
It's never too late to find
We all need someone
To lean on sometime
We have weathered the storm
