"Save The Best For Later"

"Save The Best For Later"


I want you, yes I want you
How come you don't want me too
Like moonshine on silver water
The sun will shine only for me and you
I can't stop thinkin' about you
Can't stop tryin', baby to escape the blues

No don't close your eyes
You need a change of attitude
Is it possible for a girl to face the truth
It's a certified lie, works every time
But I can't deny, that I'm crazed out on you
Cross my heart, cross my heart

Well I can't buy you no roses
Can't give you anythin' you need
But I'm landslide and I'm comin'
And well, you better get yourself prepared for it
'Cause I can't stop thinking about you
Can't imagine livin' a life without you in it

No don't close your eyes
I wanna talk to you
Is it possible for a girl to face the truth
It's a certified lie, works every time
But I can't deny, that I'm crazed out on you

Cross my heart, cross my heart
I'm a qualified fool for you
Cross my heart
It's my dream and baby you're in it
Cross my heart
Hot sheets of satin
And a fountain of pearls in the next room
Oh it's so exaggerated
Like a Chinese wall to wall, now

We'll save the best for later
Always the best for later
Just can't hide the fact
That I'm all crazed out and I can't hold back
A jewel in a crown and I'll find you one
Any wish is my command
Small-talk at the gambling table
And you'll finally understand

We'll save the best for later
Always the best for later
Oh mercy mama, have some mercy and some faith in me
Every night a secret sundown
Whispers it to the breeze
Nothin' special honey
Only one more basic fact
You make me talk like that

There's nothing in the world
That can stop me from savin' the best for later [2x]
Always, save the best for later
Always save the best for later

"Save Your Skin"

"Save Your Skin"



The pity and the pleasure and the guilt and the pain
The sun and the moon and the stars in the rain
It's all the same
Goin' back to zero, the other side of life
With gasoline and neon lights, seeping through the night
On a color-slide
Hand that's holdin' a gun
It's the trigger-happy son
Another abnormality
A wolf among the sheep
It's the good time boy, girls toy
Takin' another chance
And there he goes
Do you think he knows
On and on he goes
Do you think it shows

Hold on he's coming back
Like a joker jumpin' out a the deck
Hit a lotta dust, hit it hard
Just to prove my lord he can take a lot
Dig it now you still can
Get a smoke-screen and a rifle-man
Holy Christ look at the state he's in
Save your skin, take my advice, and keep the kids inside
Save your skin, now you can, without an alibi
Save your skin, take my advice, and leave the dogs outside
'cause here he comes
It's the demon man with the fire in his eyes
Checking out your lies one by one.

Soul kitchen's empty
Lotta contrast with last night
There's broken chairs and broken glasses
Everywhere in sight
Sunlight is blindin' my eyes, minute he walks in
How ya been?

Hold on, I'm coming back
Like a joker jumpin' out a the deck
Hit a lotta dust, hit it hard
Just to prove my lord I can take a lot
Dig it now you still can
Get a smoke-screen and a rifle-man
Holy Christ look at the state I'm in
Save your skin, take my advice, and keep the kids inside
Save your skin, now you can, without an alibi
Save your skin, take my advice, and leave the dogs outside
'cause here he comes
It's the demon man with the fire in his eyes
With the fire in his eyes

Save your skin, save your skin........

"Say My Prayer"

"Say My Prayer"



Daylight gone, nighttime come
I hear the executioners song and I, I say my prayer
The colour of darkness, wages of sin
Crime of innocence
A case of doubt on your hands
I say my prayer I remember when I used to run free
Without a judge, without a jury
And the world was mine, all mine
Yeah, all the little things mean a lot
When emptiness is all you've got on your mind
Doin' time
I say my prayer, say my prayer
Soul in chains, heart on ice
Freedom pays a higher price than love
I say my prayer
The color of blindness, shade of a skin
In the eyes of a witness, makes me fold my hands
And say my prayer
I remember when I used to run free
Without a judge, without a jury
And the world was mine, all mine
Yeah, all the little things mean a lot
When emptiness is all you've got on your mind
Doin' time, doin' time
And you say your prayer, while there's nothin' left
There's nothin' more to expect
And you say your prayer to yourself and nobody else
Daylight gone, nighttime come
I hear the executioners song and I, I say my prayer
Two steps up, nine steps down
One way ticket, ten feet underground
I say my prayer...

"Secrets"

"Secrets"



Tell me what's happenin'
Curiosity doin' me in
Something strange's happenin'
You keep a closed door behind you
Got a window I can't see through
Lock your mail inside a drawer
Never did me like that before

Don't tell me it's another one of your secrets

I smell conspiracy
Don't let me down
I'm on the outside baby
Waitin' for a friendly sound
Don't let me go to pieces
Celebratin' all alone
I come apart bit by bit
Add a number to your top secret list
In between hot and cold
You'll find the truth is
Working against us
I wanna know more

Don't tell me it's another one of your secrets

You make a move clandestine
Underground hide and seek
Get away with incidents
By lack of evidence
On the verge of committing a crime
Sendin' out a private eye
Defender of innocence
Trigger of coincidence
Right between hot and cold
Right between the left and the right eye
Tonight for instance

Don't tell me it's another one of your secrets

"See See"

"See See"



He was the only key
She was the only door
What more could they please

Her eyes are ponds of blue
His wishes all came true
What was there to loose in the midnight

See, see, see, he said
Seagulls screamin' down in the morning sky
Gee, gee, gee, he said
Come on girl let's leave this world behind

But then, after weeks
The weeks they got weak
Little did they speak about the future
Her eyes still were blue
But thoughts soon got black
Time that he went back to where he came from

See, see, see, she said
Broken dreams fill the starless night
Gee, gee, gee, she said
And her tears were sparklin' bright in the mornin' light

"Sellin' Out"

"Sellin' Out"



She just found out what it's all about
She don't wanna be another face in the crowd
Gets on her feet, starts walkin' out
Looks like she's got herself some sense of direction now
All the birds in the sky sing in harmony
Sound-track to the title-roll of a success movie
Featuring little miss make believe
Everybody wants her nobody gets her
It's part of the scheme

There's a shade of doubt, she's sellin' out
I'm glad that she proved the fact
There's still some a that balls around
I'm on the couch, she's on TV
Can't help thinkin' that she's laughin' right back at me
Listen all listen here comes my favorite line
I'll do anything just to save that career of mine
All right I don't know what she's doin'
Her feet are gettin' too big for her shoes
But it sure beats the eight o'clock news
Gotta admit it yeah yeah

You just found out what it's all about
You don't wanna be another face in the crowd
Get on your feet, start walkin' out
Looks like you got yourself some sense of direction now
Beyond a shade of doubt, you're sellin' out
I'm glad that you prove the fact
There's still some of that balls around
Listen all listen there's a favorite lie
I'll do anything just to boost that career of mine

"She Flies On Strange Wings"

"She Flies On Strange Wings"



Lonely is the night without you
Just as lonely as the shepherd without sheep
And where flies the falcon,
In the high sweet air
Without hunting this Sprane Valleys deer

She wears softness as a gown
She spreads magic all around
Her feathers still untouched
She takes but nothing and she gives so much

She flies on strange wings
She flies on strange winds
She brings strange things
She flies on strange wings

She takes off when she desires
Silence grows on her lips
She can bring you so much higher
She spreads love on all her trips, yeah

She flies on strange wings
She flies on strange winds
She brings strange things
She flies on strange wings

Woke up this morning
And this feeling came to my head
To fly with her from sky to sky
'Cause my mind seemed to be dead
So I floated up towards her
On my mutilated wings
But all the blackness sings against me now
It's the lady of the strange wings

She wears softness as a gown
She spreads magic all around
Her feathers still untouched
She takes but nothing and she gives so much

She flies on strange...........

"She May Be"

"She May Be"



She may be
The girl you're holding tight
She's the one
I cried for every night
I warn you friend
It must be soon
And she will say goodbye
Just like mine
Your arms and veins
Will fly in the sky
One thing I know for sure
This happened once before
She'll turn her back on you
And take me in her arms again
She may be
The girl you're holding tight
She's the one
I cried for every night
Now she's the kind of girl
Who always flies around
But someday soon she'll see it
That I'm the only real love
That mine's the only real love
That mine's the only real love

"Silver Ships"

"Silver Ships"



Way beyond the horizon of the universe
A silver light shines on me
And way beyond my thoughts, what could that be
The silver light flies faster than at first
And I don't know what it will bring
And I don't know what it may be
And when it falls through the starry sky
I know it falls for me

Silver ship won't you come on down
You can land, all is clear
Can't you hear I'm here

Way beyond the horizon of the universe
Space ships are speeding fast
And don't you know they have watched us for a thousand years
And don't you know we'll die at last
No solution for Mother Earth
Only confusion for the earthly herd
And when it falls through the starry sky
Who knows what life is worth

Silver ship won't you come on down
You can land, all is clear
Can't you hear I am here

"Skyscraper Hell Of A Town"

"Skyscraper Hell Of A Town"



Can't tell the top from the bottom
All your bad vibes I got 'm
I'm workin' like a dog
Just can't get ahead, no no
Well, all I drink is water
And all I eat is bread

Workin' like a dog, but I just can't get ahead
I gotta room with a view made out of bricks
I'm a pushover for all your pricks and dicks

I'm going up, I'm going down
In this skyscraper hell of a town
I'm going up, I'm going down
In this skyscraper hell

My friends I double-cross 'm
Live and die forgotten
I'm sleeping like a log
Sweating in my bed y'all
And all I drink is water
And all I eat is bread

Workin' like a dog, I just can't get ahead
I gotta room with a view made out of bricks
I'm a pushover for all your pricks and dicks

I'm going up, I'm going down
In this skyscraper hell of a town
I'm going up, I'm going down
In this skyscraper hell of a town
I'm going up, I'm going down
In this skyscraper hell of a town

Skyscraper hell, skyscraper hell
Skyscraper hell, skyscraper hell of a town

I'm going up, I'm going down
Skyscraper hell of a town
