Star
You're a star Yeah be careful What You're wishing for All your dreams Coming true Star yes you are You're now bigger Than Venus and Mars You can run But you can't hide So You're gonna make it Chance You're gonna take it Tinseltown Is calling your name Penny in your pocket Walking like a prophet Fortune teller Claiming your fame Arriving in style On the Red carpet mile To the left To the right Step aside As you wave To the crowd A voice Cries out loud Look at you You're the new Overnight sensation Star You're a star Yeah, be careful What You're wishing for All your dreams Coming true Star yes you are You're now bigger Than Venus and Mars You can run But you can't hide Love and hate Related Privacy invaded A paparazzi Public domain Dirty little secret Guess She couldn't keep it At least you made it On the front page A tabloid be told All that glitters Ain't gold Not a muse Drug abuse suicide As you're left All alone After Selling your soul In the aisle, smile Ready For your close up Star You're a star Yeah be careful What You're wishing for All your dreams Coming true Star yes you are You're now bigger Than Venus and Mars You can run But you can't hide Stars in your eyes Got Your piece of the pie In the sky Don't look down As you hang on Star You're a star Yeah be careful What You're wishing for All your dreams Coming true Star yes you are You're now bigger Than Venus and Mars You can run But you can't hide Stars in your eyes Got Your piece of the pie In the sky Don't look down As you're hanging on Hanging on For your life For you're better off Dead then alive Then they love you Forever 02. Comfortably Dumb
I'm paralysed
Process information At the speed of light I'm frozen In motion Desensitized Over stimulated matter Over mind Knowing I have become Comfortably dumb I have become Comfortably dumb I must confess Highly educated In my ignorance Not stupid Still lucid Indifferent Watching a world Amuse itself to death I'm muted I have become Comfortably dumb I have become Comfortably dumb What? When? Why? Where? How come? Who cares? Knock, knock Who's there? No one How come? Who cares? I have become Comfortably dumb I have become Comfortably dumb Take me away So far away So far away Won't somebody Take me away Take Take it all away 03. Learn To Love
Don't want to fall in love
Don't want to fall in love again And you don't know where I've been Don't want to fall in love again I will not fall, Is it a matter of love, or a matter of pride? Can't stop a broken heart from bleeding Don't make it harder than it has to be Nothing worth love is ever easy Love is never easy So if you want my love tell me now And if you need my love I'll show you how Just open up your heart and let me love you Learn to love again, learn to love again Better to love and lose than never ever love at all? So tell me something new, tell me why do fools fall? Tell me why, yeah why do they fall? Ain't a matter of love, it's a matter of pride Can't stop a broken heart from bleeding Don't make it harder than it has to be Nothing worth love is ever easy Love is never easy So if you want my love tell me now And if you need my love I'll show you how Just open up your heart and let me love you Learn to love again, learn to love again I should have known it all along I should have know that I... Can't stop a broken heart from bleeding Don't make it harder than it has to be Nothing worth love is ever easy Love is never easy So if you want my love tell me now And if you need my love I'll show you how Just open up your heart and let me love you Learn to love again, learn to love again So if you want my love no need to ask And if you need my love forget the past Just open up your heart and let me love you Learn to love again, learn how to love again 04. Take Us Alive
Your mamma told you,
Told you to stay away Pappa done scold you girl, Don't hear a word he say He said, Over my body No star-crossed lover lay You can run, I can hide And we'll meet each other On the other side Don't you worry pretty baby They'll never take us alive Tell me you're leaving it, Leaving it all behind Better believe in me, Never treat you unkind (A little closer girl) Come take my hand child I'll love you For a million miles You can run, I can hide And we'll meet each other On the other side Don't you worry pretty baby They'll never take us alive Save our souls, save our souls Save our souls, save our souls You better run, I gotta hide And we'll meet each other On the other side Don't you worry pretty baby They'll never take us alive You better run, and I can hide And we'll meet each other On the other side Don't you worry pretty baby They'll never take us Don't you worry pretty mamma They'll never break us Don't you worry pretty baby They'll never take us alive 05. Run
Hey, let me know, let me know
Let me know when you get there Hey, so you got to go, you're leaving what a pity Hey, take your time, take a life time, time to find out The world is yours so go out and get it And you Run, when you know there's no escape You can't hide from your mistakes Should have known it all along Hey, spinning round, spinning round Paint the town as the world turns Hey, hit the ground running round in circles Hey, nothing new, nothing new, nothing new to discover And you still haven't found what you're looking for And you Run, when you know there's no escape You can't hide from your mistakes Should have known it all along And you Run, when you know there's no escape You can't hide from your mistakes Should have known it all along So you run, never bothered to explain Left me here with all the blame Thought you wanted to be loved 06. Last Hour
As stories go,
This one's been told Another heart broken, Left out in the cold With one variation, The difference this time, This one is mine, Since you've been gone You've stolen my heart As for the rest of me I've fallen apart In my desperation My only prayer Handle with care Cos I don't know What to do Wasting my time, Wandering through Wondering why What's it all worth My last hour on earth My last hour So in the end You were the one Something so right Could never be wrong Without hesitation I'll tell you the truth I'm still waiting for you Cos I don't know What to do Wasting my time, Wandering through Wondering why What's it all worth My last hour on earth My last hour Cos I don't know What to do Wasting my time, Wandering through Wondering why What's it all worth It's worth everything Yeah my everything is you It's worth everything Yeah my everything is you It's worth everything Yeah my everything 07. Flower Man
He speaks of meekness
Being no sign of weakness Gently placing the flower in the gun Well intended pacifism a naive idealism Singing his favourite Lennon song Bleeding heart insisting preach The path of least resisting Milk and honey rolling off of his tongue War is not he answer turn the other cheek And offer sacrificing on the altar of love Flower man Singing lets all Give peace a chance Flower man Keep your head Buried in the sand Flower man You're my enemy's Best friend Flower man You misguided utopian Peace in appeasing Like it's always in season Never needed to weather the storm Betting on your better angels Ignoring human nature in truth Red tooth and in claw Lion and lamb lay In your land of make pretend Forgetting every soldier and son Lest you care To measure all the blood And the treasure Must be something worth Fighting for. No? Is it worth fighting for? Flower man singing Lets all Give peace a chance Flower man Keep your head Buried in the sand Flower man You're my enemy's Best friend Flower man Liberty Is a well armed lamb Ladies and gentlemen I give you flower man Love is on the way Love is on the way Or so they say He speaks of meekness Being no sign of weakness Gently placing The flower in the gun Well intended pacifism A naive idealism Singing his favourite Lennon song Bleeding heart insisting preach The path of least resisting Milk and honey rolling off Of his tongue War is not he answer Turn the other cheek And offer sacrificing On the altar of love Flower man Singing lets all Give peace a chance Flower man Keep your head Buried in the sand Flower man You're my enemy's Best friend Flower man Liberty Is a well armed lamb 08. King Of The Ladies
Let me introduce you to my time machine
See my suped up bird spread her golden wings Going back in black through my neighbourhood My main street middle class Hollywood Jenny's all jet-set Purple Rain cassette Looking like she was the queen of the 80's And if I knew back then what I know right now Yeah you know I'd be the king of the ladies If I knew back then what I know right now You know I'd be the king of the ladies And if I knew back then what I know right now There'd be no ifs, and buts and no maybes Just an average Joe making minimum wage Burger flipping on the beach Instead of hitting the wave When the girls walk by with their copper tone tan Sucker punching the clocks, stop working for the man Well there aint no cure for the summertime blues Oh Candy, oh would you save me? And if I knew back then what I know right now Yeah you know I'd be the king of the ladies If I knew back then what I know right now You know I'd be the king of the ladies And if I knew back then what I know right now There'd be no ifs, and buts and no maybes If I knew back then what I know right now You know I'd be the king of the ladies And if I knew back then what I know right now There'd be no ifs, and buts and no maybes I walked up to the dance in the High school gym This girl with drop-dead legs, I'm moving in You know must have been the DJ spinning Billy Jean I tapped Nikki on the shoulder told dance with me It's like that scene from Grease The way we bumped to the beat I had the girl give me the slip She got away from me Coz if I knew back then what I know right now You know I'd have the pick of the ladies If I knew back then what I know right now You know I'd be the king of the ladies And if I knew back then what I know right now There'd be no ifs, and buts and no maybes If I knew back then what I know right now You know I'd be the king of the ladies And if I knew back then what I know right now There'd be no ifs, and buts and no maybes If I knew back then what I know right now You know I'd be the king of the ladies And if I knew back then what I know right now There'd be no ifs, and buts and no maybes If I knew back then what I know right now You know I'd be the king of the ladies And if I knew back then what I know right now There'd be no ifs, and buts and no maybes 09. Ghost
Tell me there's no need to be afraid
They're only shadows cast, past this place Where voices carry at the speed of sound If I should cry before they lay me down Sorry for the words, words I left unsaid Sorry being one of the words I did forget All the time we spent, wasted in the end Every precious moment taken for granted There in the corner of my mind Lies the weight of my regret Between the shadow and the light Ghost you're in my head Shelter from the storm when I sleep There's comfort in the morn, a siren sings If only for a moment, I can breathe The thought of you comes crashing through on me Sorry for the words, words I left unsaid Sorry being one of the words I did forget All the time we spent, wasted in the end Every precious moment taken for granted There in the corner of my mind Lies the weight of my regret Between the shadow and the light Ghost you're in my head Ghost you're in my head Tell me there's no need to be afraid They're only shadows cast past has played Where voices carry at the speed of sound If I should die before I lay me down I'm sorry for the way, the way I treated you A little bit too late, but if you only knew I'd take away the pain, pain I put you through I'd do it all again walking in your shoes There in the corner of my mind Lies the weight of my regret Between the shadow and the light Ghost you're in my head Ghost you're in my head 10. Slide
Find your groove
Then drop the hammer Overtake But don't you kick A leg out of bed Gettin' loose Don't keep it matted A rooster tail And you're never Gonna qualify Never gonna qualify Slingshot Gotta hit the apex Sneak attack Yeah You are the the man On the move Dirty air Hangin' in a vortex Can you feel the rub? It's a shootout as we Slide it in Never gonna qualify Slide it in, no, no way Don't become An emotional wreck Take it slow, pit row You're moving to fast They can read Your telemetry Get you in, Get you out In less than fifteen Stop Get you some slicks Nice and tight Get your fine fresh rubber Take the flag And shake the champagne All your lizards Are waiting And ready to play Ready to play 11. Interface
Don't just sit there
And stare at me Don't just sit there And watch me bleed I'm losing you and you You're losing me I'm tired Of what we are I'm tired Of all the pain I'm losing you and you You're losing me Face lies flat I see my reflection Download thoughts But your files Are corrupted Don't just sit there And stare at me Don't just sit there And watch me bleed I'm losing you and you You're losing me I'm tired Of what we are I'm tired Of all the pain I'm losing you And you You're losing me Time stands still And your frozen In motion I held down Your escape But you're crashing You're crashing Don't just sit there And stare at me Don't just sit there And watch me bleed I'm losing you and you You're losing me I'm tired Of what we are I'm tired Of all the pain I'm losing you And you You're losing me Don't just sit there And stare at me Don't just sit there And watch me bleed I'm losing you And you You're losing me I'm tired Of what we are I'm tired Of all the pain I'm losing you We're losing We're losing We're losing 12. Sunrise
She don't worry about tomorrow
Nothing further from her mind She don't need to beg or borrow Time is on her side She like colouring the rainbow Never paint between the lines She like to chase away the shadow Watch them run and hide Kiss me in the morning Before I open up my eyes Would you kiss me in the morning Sunrise See her dancing on the water Washing dreams upon the shore Heaven wanting you to call her Knocking at your door She my centre of attention Nothing further from my mind Point me in the right direction Sunshine shine your light Would you kiss me in the morning Before I open up my eyes Would you kiss me in the morning Sunrise alright Sunrise kiss and I will follow Sunrise shine your light Sunrise filling up my hollow Sunrise sunrise Sunrise kiss and I will follow Sunrise shine your light Sunrise filling up my hollow Sunrise sunrise sunrise She helped me find my way 13. Peace (saudade)
Heavy is the burden
That brings you To your knees Lost in the confusion Of life's uncertainties Feel you're suffocating With every breath you take Moment left remaining Time for you to pray Time for you to pray Pray for peace Pray for peace Pray for peace Pray for peace Whirl wind She's a-turning The river's On the rise Suddenly surrounded In the middle Middle of her eye Light precedes The thunder trembles Trembles and it shakes The ground your feet Are under Time for you to pray Time for you to pray Pray for peace Pray for peace Pray for peace Pray for peace |
