"New Morning Sun"

"New Morning Sun"



Maybe now we could be lovers
We'll share all the darkness in our souls
Don't you tell me lies
I could always see the truth in your eyes
Please don't lead me on
Better just to crush me now and be gone

Way down here under the red lights
We carved our futures on the wall
Somedays seemed too much
I would always bend right under your touch
Morning comes again
I've already move way past all the pain

Gotta rise up
Rise up and take the sky like a new morning sun
If we walk away
Then we walk away never knowing what we could have done

Maybe you're right
We lose sometime
Stand around to see what's fine
Or what will come
That's the risk that we run
Run

Now we can hear everyone talking
Well our world's getting smaller everyday
All our games are played
We gotta live with the mess that we made
Don't you walk away
I can hear every word that you say

Gotta rise up
Rise up and take the sky like a new morning sun
If we walk away
Then we walk away never knowing what we could have done

Maybe your right
we lose some time
Wait around to see what's fine
or what will come
That's the risk that we run

Gotta rise up
Rise up and take the sky like a new morning sun
If we walk away
Then we walk away never knowing what we could have done

Rise up
Rise up and take the sky like a new morning sun
If we walk away
Then we walk away never knowing what we could have done

"Nice Try"

"Nice Try"


Well the best defence is the bright lights
Underneath which you commit that dark crime
Look I was there
I watched it all go down
And I still can't believe my eyes
Nice try it's so wild
Nice try it's so wild

It's like a car burning on the side of the road
Well someone got torched for not doing what they're told
It's like a paid vacation when they change your name
It's like yesterday's news is the same again
and again, and again...
It's so wild
Again and again
It's so wild

[Solo]

So when you dish the dirt you might as well dish the worst
Cause no one expects you to tell the truth
And when they turn around they think that
Something must be wrong
Cause no one could make up a story so far gone
It's so wild
So far gone
It's so wild

Fact or fiction all parties deny
Any involvement at the scene of the crime
They look you cold straight in the eye
And say man
You got the wrong guy
But nice try it's so wild
Nice try it's so wild

"No Miracle, No Dazzle"

"No Miracle, No Dazzle"


What's so obvious now
Was just as obvious then
What the whole world already knew
I was the last to admit
I guess I'm a fool
But I just can't stand the pain
And I'd rather hide in this empty hope
Then to go through all that shit again

[Chorus]
You say we don't live together
We just share the same house
Funny how you took the words
Right out of my mouth
No miracle no dazzle
My tongue is tied
And at this point there ain't much difference
Between the leaving
And the left behind

I still remember
When you tried to be discreet
I thought I was going crazy
But it was just you lying through your teeth
Now you don't even bother
Yeah there's no need to pretend
You don't make up those stupid answers anymore
When I ask you where you've been

[Chorus]

 

[fox69]

"Now And Forever"

"Now And Forever"


I don't know if I ever wanted
The things you said we wanted together
Now and forever
Too many nights I'd lie awake
Listening to every breath you'd take
Like a stranger
Feel so out of place here

I don't wonder what went wrong
But I wish your memory would leave me alone
Now and forever

I sit alone in this empty house
And your voice just like a ghost
It comes to me
Chill passes through me
I packed your clothes and photographs
Sent your little treasures back to where you're living
Guess now I'm forgiven

I can't believe it's true
I thought I'd always be in love with you
Now and forever

[Solo]

My life goes on just like before
In and out of closing doors
I don't love it
But I learn to rise above it
I found a girl now who will love me the way I want her to
She don't shout it
We don't ever talk about it

I can't believe it's true
I thought I'd always be in love with you
Now and forever

"One Day"

"One Day"


I never been a mess like this before
Coming apart at the seams
I feel like a fugitive
Walking through another man's dreams

I go to bed thinking about caving in
Cursing everything I've done
Wake up lying in a sweat
In a new day's sun

One day
Out of the blue
I'll just walk away
Out of your life
No alibi
Baby this time we got through it
I don't think next time we'll do it

And one day I will
One day I will
One day I will
I'll be set free

You never can tell where the nightmares dwell
People change everyday
I guess it only matters
Whose side you're on anyway

But I remember a time you didn't look so fine
Sure had a different sound
Now when you get in
Honey I don't want to be around

One day
Out of the blue
I'll just walk away
Out of your life
No alibi
Baby this time we got through it
I don't think next time we'll do it

And one day I will
One day I will
One day I will
I'll be set free

[Solo]

Well everybody watches you
When you walk
And you don't care at all
But I'll be there when
The pieces start to fall

One day
Out of the blue
I'll just walk away
Out of your life
No alibi
Baby this time we got through it
I don't think next time we'll do it

And one day I will
One day I will
One day I will
I'll be set free

"One Light Left In Heaven"

"One Light Left In Heaven"



I pulled myself out of the mess
So everyone could breathe
I took the red-eye home
I was the only one to leave
When looks are daggers
Words are guns
Every hope is gone
The sadness in your eyes
Just lingers on and on

Away
One light left in heaven
Away
High above the clouds
Away
The light goes on forever
I wish we'd stay up here
Never come down

You know I'll wait here for you
I'll wait here for you
No matter where you go
Or what you put me through
And I don't know if you'll come back to me
But baby if you do
I'll be waiting for you

I moved myself around a bit
I thought I'd landed safe
But then I caught a glimpse
Of what was hidden in your face
You looked me in the eye
And told me everything was true
Now we know the distance
Between me and you

Away
One light left in heaven
Away
High above the clouds
Away
The light goes on forever
I wish we'd stay up here
Never come down

You know I'll wait here for you
I'll wait here for you
No matter where you go
Or what you put me through
And I don't know if you'll come back to me
Baby if you do
I'll be waiting for you

Summer makes me restless
And I can't get by alone
I know that's you that's calling
But I don't pick up the phone
The day you started wandering
I guess I lost my faith
I sit here now to wait and see
What's coming in its place

Away
One light left in heaven
Away
High above the clouds
Away
The light goes on forever
I wish we'd stay up here
Never come down

You know I'll wait here for you
I'll wait here for you
No matter where you go
Or what you put me through
And I have walked this floor for hours and hours
Underneath the moon
And I am slowly disappearing here
Just a ghost that's shining through

And I don't know if you'll come back to me
Or if I want you to
I'll be waiting for you
I don't know if you'll come back to me
Or if I want you to
I'll be waiting for you

"One More Night"

"One More Night"



He came into the world with his eyes wide open
Knew what it was all about
He grew into a man that the sun just followed
Knew himself inside out
We'd watch him go to work each day
Come back underneath the moonlit night

We'd hear them laughing talking always
Safe behind the walls
Nobody knew too much about them
They never even answered calls
Well his wife was small and pretty
Like a shell illuminated by the light

Well I know there is a plan
But at least from where I stand
I would love to take the place of that man
For just one night

Sometimes situations seem
Too perfect to be true
People talk and shake their heads
The way that people do
You know that small towns show no mercy
And they see their envy in a different light

I woke up late to a big commotion
Wondering what it all was for
Voices screaming in the darkness
Fire and smoke next door
There was someone lying on the lawn and
Someone trapped behind the firelight

What could we say
As we watched life slip away
There was nothing we could do to make it right
Not on that night

Ah leave me here he said
Stretched out on the lawn
I don't think anybody's gonna miss me when I'm gone
Life is my enemy
It took my very best
Left me here to cast away
The shadows and sort through the mess
Struggle to get by with all my might
For one more night

We'd see him out walking in the streets
With nothing in his eyes
People would stop and say hello
He'd always act surprised
Well he'd jump back kind of nervous
Like a boxer who'd rather walk away than fight

Just like autumn thunderstorms
We knew the day would come
When they talked about it later
No one even knew he had a gun
Well they found him with a picture
Of his wife beside him such a peaceful sight

And if God is looking down
On this little life we've found
I say you pushed that man until he couldn't fight
Not one more night

Leave me here
Stretched out on the lawn
I don't think anybody's gonna miss me when I'm gone
Life is my enemy
It took my very best
Left me here to cast away the shadows
And sort through the mess
Struggle to get by with all my might
Oh for one more night
Oh one more night
No, not one more night

"Outskirts"

"Outskirts"



Here on the outskirts of life
Dreams seldom come true
Flippin' thru photographs emotional holographs
Cutouts of all the figures you might've been
Reflections of a life that you once lived

As the evening descends
Your conscious of every breath
And every moment is a crisis, I guess
Starin' out the windows of your hotel room
You lit one too many fires underneath that spoon
Well I guess you deserve the chosen few
Real life, just out of view

Well that's just here,
On the outskirts
Yea, that's here,
On the outskirts of your life

And there's a picture we've all seen
It was taken in the lobby of the L.A. Ambassador Hotel
It's the silhouette of a man in another's arms
So turn off your TVs, and let that train go home
'Cause everyone warned you that California
Wasn't goin' to be the end
California wasn't gonna be the end.

And tell me where can you hide when
the whole world is ugly and strange
Yea tell me where you gonna turn when
this whole world knows your name
And these four walls are screamin'
And all your friends were so deceiving
Yea you forgot the lines of a part you rehearsed so well
Lyin' awake in the Brazilian Court Hotel

But that's just here,
On the outskirts
Yea, that's here
On the outskirts,
Of your life...

"Palace Of Gold"

"Palace Of Gold"



So the story is often told
Of how a man sells his soul
And how it's lost before he knows
And all he's left with is his palace of gold
He's got more than he needs
He's so very hard to please
Finds it difficult to be kind
Easy to criticize, he's so high
In the palace of gold

Yeah he's so high in the palace of gold
Yeah he's so high in the palace of gold
The palace of gold
The palace of gold

In the prison of your soul
Where every man must carry his own soul
Some men fall, some men fly
High in the palace of gold

Yeah he's so high in the palace of gold
Yeah he's so high in the palace of gold
The palace of gold
Yeah he's so high
Yeah he's so high
Yeah he's so high

In the palace of gold
In the palace of gold

"Paradise"

"Paradise"



For all the wounds that never heal
For all the times you were a rebel
For this one night,
Let's not ask the price
You have to pay,
To stay in paradise

So throw another log on the fire
Your sympathy my desire
We'll watch the sparks fly
High into the sky
We'll see the lights of paradise

We'll watch the sparks fly
High into the sky
We'll see the lights of paradise

I was born to wander
And every dollar I made I squandered
But the greatest misery
Is know I'll have to leave
Leave these lights of paradise

AH sweet oblivion
To sing and dance with the innocent
When I'm on my deathbed
Taking my last breath
Will i have paid the price
To stay in paradise

When I'm on my deathbed
Taking my last breath
Will I have paid the price
To stay in paradise
