"Darkness, Darkness"

"Darkness, Darkness"



Darkness, darkness, be my pillow
Take my head and let me sleep
In the coolness of your shadow
In the silence of your deep

Darkness, darkness, hide my yearning
For the things I cannot see
Keep my mind from constant turning
Towards the things I cannot be
Oh yes, the things I cannot see
The things I cannot see

Darkness, darkness, long and lonesome
Is the day that brings me here
I have felt the edge of sadness
I have known the depth of fear

Darkness, darkness, be my blanket
Cover me with the endless night
Take away the pain of knowing
Fill the emptiness of fright
The emptiness of fright
Oh yes, the emptiness of fright

Darkness, darkness, be my pillow
Take my head and let me sleep
In the coolness of your shadow
In the silence of your deep

Darkness, darkness, be my blanket
Cover me with the endless night
Take away, take away the pain of knowing
Fill the emptiness of fright
Yes, the emptiness of fright
The emptiness of fright

"Darling"

"Darling"



Would you recognize me, or identify me
Try to hypnotize me, with a blindfold on
Like an animal, like a demon
Like a criminal, hidin' from the light

Oh my darling, Oh my darling
Just like the riptide,
Escape my desire
Hear me callin',
See me crawlin'
Like a reptile
In the midnight

Hungry butterfly, cruel vampire
In the shadow, out of sight
Sometimes all my dreams, turn into nightmares
I need you more and more and moreS
Cared of dying, bored with life
Your illusions sacrificed
Walk in silence, through the night
Fade into the lost moonlight

Oh my darling, Oh my darling
Just like the riptide,
Escape my desire
Hear me callin',
See me crawlin'
Like a reptile
In the midnight

"Deja Voodoo"

"Deja Voodoo"



In broad daylight, your clean cut town
Has turned into a hunting ground
And Mama don't need no crystal ball
To see the weight, that's coming down
25 hours a day, 25 hours a day
In the heart of night, it howls for more
The beast that prowls, the killing floor
And Mama don't need to read the cards
To tell you times are gettin' hard
25 hours a day, 25 hours a day

You've seen it before
It's been done to you
In another life, it spells taboo
Mama calls it
Mama calls it: Deja voodoo

When sweet turns to bitter, and not before
When wolves come scratchin', at your door
That's when mama's tea cup prophecy
Will tell you how it's gonna be
25 hours a day, 25 hours a day
Tomorrow rips up your yesterday
While it stars in your old passion play
And mama can hear the spirit's song
Singing in her head all night long
25 hours a day, 25 hours a day

"Desperately Trying To Be Different"

"Desperately Trying To Be Different"



Lizzy the lizard, met an angry young snake
With forked-tongue grace, by the name of Jake
A yellow eyed diamond back rattler
In the chill-out room, of the 'wildlife saloon
She admired his skin, Jake said it was fake
And Liz said: "who cares, it don't really matter

A question to raise,
Why people these days
Like slaves to a craze

Are somehow hell bent,
Yet always content
With fortune's spent
On desperately tryin' to be different

Willy the weasel said to Sammy the snitch
Let's go to the dogs and bet on that bitch
The greyhound that runs like a panther
They made a big score, went to the hi-fashion store
They bought two suits of shark skin furs, ermine and mink
All decked out for the next chapter

Nancy the nympho, yelled at Lola La Leech
"I need a permanent wave with lots a bleach,
I wanna look like a cheap German dancer"
She could pass for a queen, in a second hand dream
Inside the gloom of the 'wildlife saloon
The wolf whistles, sounded just like laughter

A question to raise,
Why people these days
Like slaves to a craze

Are somehow hell bent,
Yet always content
With fortune's spent
On desperately tryin' to be different

"Distant Love"

"Distant Love"



It was a night like any other night
As it moved into a new day
Came up to a crossroad
Colors turnin' to grey
You had troubles way back home
So you had a good excuse
How could you resist this anyway
Her big brown eyes made you lose your mind
She knocked your defenses down
All you could do was look at her
While she watched you coming down

She said pedal to the metal
Just a 7 minute drive
Next thing you remember
Is a love sentence for life
Heaven came to earth, like and angel from above
You had to slip away from it
You had to run away from her
And you knew she wouldn't let you

Two hearts on fire
One dream tangled and wired
Two bodies swaying
Each one alone
To the beat of a distant love

Time can't heal the wounds of separation
The pain just grows in your imagination
A sudden glance, a message in your notebook wakes you up
But when you call she's always off the hook
So you get yourself a ticket and you don't wanna know why
You've found out you're an expert on makin' up lies
You once traded a dream for the life you're livin' in
But you can't run away from it
You better try to forget her and you know she won't let you

Two hearts on fire
One dream tangled and wired
Two bodies swaying
One dream never fading
Each one alone
To the beat of a distant love

"Don't Close The Door"

"Don't Close The Door"



Tried everything just to feel all right
But it sure gets lonely
And it sure gets bad
When you feel like a prisoner of your own head
Tonight I'm gonna break the spell
Walk out of this flea-bag motel, hell
Tonight I'm gonna break this spell
Find me somebody who will... Get me outa here
Another sad café - another dead-end street
Tried everything just to catch that beat
Honey this time I won't fail
Blues gets too boring
How about lets spend the night
Make love in the morning
No no no don't close the door
No no no ‘s not what I'm waitin' for
Rainy day – cloudy night
Tried everything just to feel all right
Tonight I'm gonna break the spell

"Don't Run Too Far"

"Don't Run Too Far"



Baby can't you see
What you've been doing to me
I really don't understand, no no no
Though you treat anyone, anyone so bad
But what I want to say
I couldn't tear myself away
From your love'
Cause there is no one else
Than the lord above
But I need someone, someone
Who sometimes will make me feel fine

Don't run too far
Someday you'll feel sorry
Don't run too far
There's no time to hurry
Don't be foolish
And think before it's too late
And don't forget
I'm not the only man you'll hate

Now I know for sure
You're tiny or you want more
It's what I always said, no no no
Though you treat anyone, anyone so bad
The situation, in which I am
I have to miss you anyhow, mmm
But you don't really make me blue
I'm so in love with you

Don't run too far
Someday you will feel sorry
Don't run too far
There's no time to hurry
Don't be foolish
And think before it's too late
And don't forget
I'm not the only man you'll hate

"Don't Stay Away"

"Don't Stay Away"



What am I thinking high in mind
Don't you see me all the time
Don't you forget all the words I say
Don't stay away
Girl, don't stay away and be true to me
Don't wanna hurt me so I'm afraid
That you're not telling me a lot of things I hate
Maybe you'll understand me when I say
Don't stay away

"Don't Stop The Show"

"Don't Stop The Show"



You're in for a cold shower
The man's gonna cut the power
Don't stop the show, don't stop the show

Come on baby you can fan the fire
Let the flame burn a little higher
Don't stop the show, don't stop the show

Yeah well in case of emergency
I'm gonna send in the kung-fu roadie
Don't stop the show, don't stop the show

Time time, who's got the time
Time time, we've got the time
We got about an hour to get things right
Keep that rock 'n roll music goin' through the long long hot night
I'm ready willing and able
I'm gonna spit it all over your table
Don't stop the show, don't stop the show
Let's go.....

Time time, who's got the time
Time time, we've got the time
We got about an hour to get things right
Keep that rock 'n roll music goin' through the long long hot night
I'm ready willing and able
I'm gonna spit it all over your table
Don't stop the show, don't stop the show
Come on, come on........

"Don't Worry"

"Don't Worry"



Today I stayed home and watched the rain
Drip drop on my windowpane
Thought about tears from heaven
They told me when I was seven
Don't worry, don't worry

There'll be sunny days
There'll be rainy days
It's all the same
Don't worry, don't worry
Goodnight, it's gonna be alright

I went for a walk in the park
And saw an old man dying
His lunch fell on the grass
And a sparrow came flying
Don't worry, don't worry

The end lies in the future
I look around and see
It's happening to you
One day it'll happen to me
Don't worry, don't worry

There'll be sunny days
There'll be rainy days
It's all the same
Don't worry, don't worry
Goodnight, sleep tight
