"Lightning"

"Lightning"



I want to know where you live
I want to know who you are
I want to see what you see
I want to go where you are
Want to touch what you touch
Want to be where you are
I want to know what city this is
Seems like I'm moving so far

Riot town right noise
A lightning streak
Fate rides up and moves us on
Mother don't weep

I want to see what you see
I want to touch - let me play
I want to try every poison in sight
I want to lie where you lay
Let me see let me see
I want to know what you know
I want to learn what's imprisoning me
Iwant to know let it go

Riot time right noise
Violent times speak
Bottled up - like a fake damnation
Lightning speed
Crackdown backdoors
Meltdown shoes
Bare back riders - a rank outsider
An automatic cruise

I want to touch what you touch
I long to be where you are
I'll always know - you'll let me know all this gets too far
Let me touch. Let me touch
Let me feel what you feel
I want to know how certain this is
I want to know this is real

Riot town, right noise
Lightning streak
Fate rides up and moves us on
Mother don't weep
Crackdown back door
Violent times speak
Fate rides up and moves us on
Lightning streak

"Love Song"

"Love Song"



In coats of many colour
Reptile man drop
Stay below it
Stay below it
Stay below it
Stay below it
Temperature drop

America's a boyfriend
Untouched by flesh of hand
Heartbeat under
Heartbeat under
Heartbeat under
Heartbeat under
Some promised land

Love song
Love song
Love song
Love song

On and on and

On and on and

Flesh of heart
Heart of steel
So well so well
I cut my hair
Paint my face
Break a finger
Tell a lie
So well so well

America's a boyfriend
Untouched by flesh of hand
Stay below it
Stay below
In glory days that come and go
Some promised land

Love song
Love song
Love song
Love song

And on and on and
On and on and
On and on and

Stay below
Shout below
Flesh of heart
Heart of steel

"Midnight Walking"

"Midnight Walking"



The age of mass confusion
I've come to the conclusion
Goin' out Midnight Walking
May be the only way to go now
The age where it's essential
To keep it for memento
We're goin' out Midnight Walking
Trying to find somewhere to go now

We go high, high, high
Little the lonely low
High, high, high
Found somewhere to go now
We go high, high, high
Are those people
Little the lonely low
Silent people
We're goin' out Midnight Walking
Trying to find somewhere to go now
Find somewhere to go now

The itch of desperation
There's some new valuation
We're goin' out Midnight Walking
'Cause it's the only way to go now
And the age where it's essential
To make up transcendental
We go out Midnight Walking
We go through heat wave after snow now

We go high, high, high
Little the lonely low
High, high, high
Found somewhere to go now
We go high, high, high
Are those people
Little the lonely low
Silent people
We're goin' out Midnight Walking
Trying to find somewhere to go now
Find somewhere to go now

High, high, high

High, high, high
Are those people,
silent people?
High, high, high
Macho people
Found somewhere to go now
And are those people,
silent people?
High, high, high
Alone the people,
Found somewhere to go now
We go high, high, high
Little the lonely low
We go high, high, high
Watching people
Found somewhere to go now

"Moscow Underground"

"Moscow Underground"



Descended from a world of darkened places,
Descended from a world that’s lost control,
Suspended between time and fractured places,
I’m waiting for the fall here on my own.

Please take me down where the rain drops,
Please take me down, down below.
Please hold me here where the dreams stop,
Please leave me here on my own.

It was fate that took me down into the place,
I want to cross the borders of control.
Take me to the shrine that’s in your basement,
And hold me in that place I’ll lose it all.

So please take me down where the rain drops,
Please take me down so far below.
Come take me down to where my dream stops.
I don’t know where else I can go.

So please take me down to where the rain drops,
Please lay me down, down below.
Please leave me here where the dream stops,
Cause I don’t know where else I can go.

"Murder Story"

"Murder Story"



You say to me things should soon be alright
I get so scared if I don't get out at night
The questions real
The answer so false
I just can't cope no more with this rate of pulse

I lost my past
I gave it away
I feel so insecure
I couldn't take another day
Please be kind
Don't call me no wreck
My nerves are very live you know
But soon they're going to break

No Oh No
Another Murder Story
No Oh No
Another Murder Story

So don't come too close
I can't stand the heat
I get nightmares of places people go to meet
It's so apparent when I walk in the door
That I'm all alone
There's no one home and no one wants me anymore
So claustrophobic if I stand I one place
This state of mind I'm in is positively quite a disgrace
The children from the street call out my name
"Hey You"
It's all so mutual but you know
I just don't want to share no fame

No Oh No
Another Murder Story
No Oh No
Another Murder Story
No Oh No
Murder Story
No Oh No
No Oh No

"My Life"

"My Life"



I can feel it in the darkness
Getting closer in the night
Like a sacred song
You linger on
You give me the wings of flight
And I love your sense of power
Every hour every need
When the red light shows
Your arms enclose
Like the pillars of destiny
With one step forward
I know I can leave this behind
Never look backward
I want to move through space, through time

I want to get to it
Seek and you'll find
Check the world - do it it's my life
There's a star shines over you and I
It's my life
I'm just keeping my soul alive

There's talk of revolution
There's no solution to our plight
A red guitar can get you
But you still know how to fight
They say all roads come together
Every shoulder to the wheel
Solid gold future unfolds
When you give me the hands that heal

I'm looking out, and I call your name
I go running in a circle
But I can't get back again
And I'm calling I need you here
My whole life took a tumble
And I'm so filled up with fear
My life feels like a runaway train
I'm leading through a tunnel and I can't get back again

It's my life
Keeping my soul alive

"Naked Eye"

"Naked Eye"



You can come inside
Come into the Naked Eye

My only world falls in again
I see your face fall in again
It's so dark
I don't know your name
It's so dark
And I don't know your name

Only mirrors lie only mirrors lie now
Only mirrors lie only mirrors lie now
Through the needle's eye
Through the needle's eye now
Only mirrors lie
Lie lie

You can come inside
Come into the naked eye
Naked
Naked

I feel so high
Going up on the wall
And you're down below me
Look all around look all around now
Look all around look all around now

Only mirrors lie only mirrors lie now
Only mirrors lie only mirrors lie now
Through the needle's eye
Through the needle's eye now
Only mirrors lie
Lie lie

You can come inside
Come into the naked eye
Naked
Naked

Just wanted a special view
Just me and you
Just just just the two of us
Just two of us
Going up on the wall
Up on the wall
Going up on the wall
Up on the wall
Naked Eye Naked Eye

What do you see
And what's there to learn
Reading your books
Third diagram
Someone's in the room down below
Someone someone
Someone below
Insects
Cherries
To the cherries
On the wall
Spider

"Neon Cowboys"

"Neon Cowboys"



No, don't walk away.
I need you to stay with me tonight.

Come on, what have you heard?
How desperate the word creeping me tonight.

Like Christians and the lions,
We'll lay down in the sand.
While neon city cowboys,
Drift across our land,
In their caravans.

Why and what can we learn?
Narcissus returns the child in me tonight.

Like Muslems in the car wash,
Like locators in our hands,
The neon city cowboys,
Never give our land,
With no plans.

Turn don't walk away,
Stay with me tonight.

Stay with me.

"Neon Lights"

"Neon Lights"



Neon lights
Shimmering neon lights
And at the fall of night
This city's made of light

"New Gold Dream (81-82-83-84)"



New Gold Dream
She is the one in front of me, the siren and the ecstasy
New Gold Dream
Crashing beats and fantasy, setting sun in front of me
New Gold Dream

All along the way

She is your friend until the ocean breaks
And when you dream, dream in the dream with me
And when you dream, dream in the dream with me

Burning bridge and ecstasy, crashing beats and fantasy
Dream in the dream with
And the world goes hot

She is your only friend until the ocean breaks

And when you dream, dream in the dream with me
And when we dream, dream in the dream with me
81 - 82 - 83 - 84
81 - 82 - 83 - 84

New Gold Dream
The siren and the ecstasy, she's the one in front of me
