"New Sunrise"

"New Sunrise"



I tried to write this song.
I tried to memorize.
Such a long time ago,
More than I realize.

New sunshine morning,
Brightens up my eyes.
Carries, carries me homeward,
Into a new sunrise.

And are you bitter still?
Did I not pay the price once or twice?
Try to forget me now.
Try to forget about all these lies.

New sunshine morning,
Brightens up my eyes.
Carries, carries me homeward,
Into a new sunrise.

So much of the story isn't told.
Can you sympathize?
Seems like a lifetime ago.

You tried to wreck my soul.
I tried to cheat and lie.
Try to forget me now please.
Only a moment in our lives.

New sunshine morning,
Brightens up my eyes.
Carries, carries me homeward,
Into a new sunrise.

New sunshine morning.
New sunshine morning.
New sunshine morning.
Into a new sunrise.

Carry me, carry me, homeward.
Carry me, carry me.
Carry me, carry me, homeward.
Carry me, carry me

"New Sunshine Morning"

"New Sunshine Morning"



I tried to write this song
I tried to memorize
Such a long time ago
More than I realize

And are you bitter still
Did we not pay the price once or twice
Try to forgive me now please
Try to forget about all those lies
New sunshine morning
Blackens up my eyes
Takes me in its warmness
And put me to a side
New sunshine morning
Blackens up my eyes
Takes me in its warmness
And put me to a side
Much of the story isn't told
Can you sympathize
Seems like a lifetime ago
You tried to rid my soul
I tried to cheat on life
You tried to kill me so
Only a moment I realize
New sunshine morning
Opens up my day
Carry carry me homeward
Into another place
New sunshine morning
Opens my eyes
Carries carries me onward
Into a new sunrise
New sunshine morning
New sunshine morning

"Night Music"

"Night Music"



Can you hear the lone night music
Coming in so near
When I hear the lone night music
Every nightmare crumbles and they disappear
Can you hear the echoes calling
Speaking in verse
When I hear the lone night music
Everything gets stronger and I lose this curse
Help me break the chains that hold me
Keep me from the truth
I want to feel the hands that raise me
From a low down level to the highest roof

Woh oh night music
I hear it now
Night music

I want to catch the rock that's falling
Roll it back up hill
When I hear the strange night music
The whole world's turning and I'm still standing still
I feel it growing deep inside me
Still I'm at a loss
When I hear the strange night music
It's a warning signal there's a bridge to cross

Good news from the next world
Tear yourself apart
X still marks the time and place
To cure your bitter heart
Fell like running water
Water of the soul
Spinning like a spinning wheel
Way beyond control

Spinning like a spinning wheel
Way beyond control

Can you hear the lone night music
Coming in so far
When I hear the lone night music
It's a lonely planet it's a burning star
I want to swim the widest ocean
Diving in so deep
When I hear the lone night music
Coming in so near
When I hear the lone night music
All my nightmares crumble
And they disappear

"No Cure"

"No Cure"



I see them walking
You know they're walking at night
Ohh in the dark you know
They're shining out so bright
Your sarky voices are gonna come on so near
As every picture becomes so clear

You
You come on so sharp
Yet be so nice
Tell me that you're so hot
But you're as cold as ice

There is no cure
You're so blind can't you see?
There is no cure
Can't buy no immunity
There is no cure
So keep your evil from me
There is no cure.

They like to stay
Ooh come on
Come on and stay up so late
You gonna talk of all the things you just wanna hate
You wanna come on
Come on
And make me so mad
Inside your heart
I know it feels so bad
You
You come on so sharp
Yet be so nice
Tell me that you're so hot
But you're as cold as ice

There is no cure
You're so blind can't you see?
There is no cure
Can't buy immunity
There is no cure
So keep your evil from me
There is no cure

Come on and do it
Just what to do it
They're going to do it
Just want to do it

There is no cure...

"Oh Jungleland"

"Oh Jungleland"



Somebody's screaming out
Somebody's knocking out
Somebody's calling out, come hear it again
Street bells are ringing out
Young girls are singing out
Boys are building up to be men
You've got the love
Then here comes the blood last
The father, the mother, the sister, the chain
Sweet inspirations
Or a cold hearted nations baby
The young man, the brothers, the killers explain

Oh Jungleland
They call you home sweet home
You make me feel so sad, to leave here all alone
But there is a kid called Hope
And he's holding out his hand
He sees the Northern Lights
above this highrise land
Oh Jungleland
Oh Jungleland
Oh Jungleland

In the city, get out the city pretty quick
I've got a prayer, I wanna sing it to you
It says, may little children forget the wild things

But no one listens cause nobody cares
When you've got the love drugs
And you've got the long nights
You got the heartbeat that spirals to heaven

Here comes summer, here comes violence
Over your shoulder the soul boy explains
Oh Jungleland
They call you home sweet home
You make me feel so sad, to leave here all alone
But there is a kid called Hope
And he's holding out his hand
He sees the Northern Lights
above the highrise land

But blood is thicker than water
But blood is sweeter than Holy Lands
Unto the Devil a daughter
When my love sings it's an angel song she sings it

Don't look back, never look back
Don't look back, never look back
Oh Jungleland

"Once Upon A Time"

"Once Upon A Time"



And you
Yes you speak to me tonight
And you say so, say so
That once upon a time
When love, love was a white dove
And hope, long live hope, could spin the whole world 'round

I'm talking east to west
I'm talking lost and found
Get up to the mountain top
I'm going to drop unto the ground

That's once upon a time
You raise me up when I know you're around
But God only knows, what God only knows
You lift me up and you spin me around
God only knows, but God only knows

That's time
Time looked around herself
Time got excited
That's when we all got started

Still I hear you, yes still you speak to me tonight
You say then how come out of love, is all this cruelty arising?
Well I said, look, well will you look at you, you're frightened
I see that you smile through weariness
But there is not much else enlightened
Well, that's a question down to time

You life me up when I know you're around
God only knows, God only knows
Still you raise me up when I know you're around
God only knows, God only knows
That's time

"One Step Closer"

"One Step Closer"


Theres no other way
In the multitude
Population, neighborhood
I look for you
Do you look for me
It's the only way you're gonna
Get topography / typography / up off the feet [?]
Gotta settle down and watch the dust
Gonna read the book all the rules that must
Sets the time to set the pace
You took me closer
One step closer to that place
You take me one step closer
And now I know we're there
It's better now than ever
Now I know you'll stay

And another way
It's a different world
Theres a shining light
And a darkened world
And it waited takes a path
To a different place, different time
Different vibe?
You take me one step closer
And now I know we're there
It's better now than ever
Now I know you're here
You take me one step closer
And now I know we're there
Much better now than ever
And now I know you'll stay

Found another way, another added trip/attitude?
Theres a population, in the neighborhood
I'm lookin for you
You look for me
It's the only way to get
To where we want to be
You take me one step closer
And now I know we're there
Much better now than ever
And now I know you'll stay
You're taking me one step closer
And now I know we're there
It's better now than ever
And now I know you'll stay with me
You're taking me one step closer
And now I know you're there with me
Much better now than ever
And now I know you're here

"Peace, Love And Understanding"

"Peace, Love And Understanding"



As I walk through
This wicked world
Searchin' for light in the darkness of insanity.
I ask myself
Is all hope lost?
Is there only pain and hatred, and misery?

And each time I feel like this inside
There's one thing I wanna know
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding?
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding?

And as I walk on
Through troubled times
My spirit gets so downhearted sometimes
So where are the strong
And who are the trusted?
And where is the harmony?
Sweet harmony

'Cause each time I feel it slippin' away, just makes me wanna cry
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding?
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding?

So where are the strong?
And who are the trusted?
And where is the harmony?
Sweet harmony

'Cause each time I feel it slippin' away, just makes me wanna cry
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding?
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding?
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding?

"Pleasantly Disturbed"

"Pleasantly Disturbed"



Black lines call out from his face
Oh his heart beats staccato pace
She says he's not killing time
I just don't want him for no friend of mine

Meanwhile Susan goes out all alone
So many reasons but they're not all her own
Bend till you break
Scream if you must
Someone's in her room
Someone she don't trust

Can you see me I'm in the lukewarm rain
Try so very hard
You know I just can't explain
Think of a colour
Tell me what you see
That colour's red
You can take it from me

Take it from me
Take it from me

I've seen the streetlights
Shine on the underground
I've heard the dead fight
When there's no other sound
I've seen the streetlights
Shine on the underground
I've heard the dead fight
When there's no other sound

Streetlight
Streetlight
Streetlight
Streetlight Sweetlight

"Premonition"

"Premonition"



Real to real
Fact to fact
Nothing moving happening
Artifact
The waiting room
Waits
Limbo can burn
But the original sin
The incentive to learn

Fly over land
Where no hearts can beat
The metal rain pouring
Raining
Raining
Raining down on me
Hole in my head
Where the creature has crawled
And It's burning and turning
Out of control

Real to real
Fact to fact
Nothing moving happening
Artifact
I in this land
Sand in the eye
So here we go
The happy man dies

Brave little world
Well you cry once again
Remodel life
Remake and remodel
Remoel men
Protection Protection
The sound of machines
Image is burning
As they grind to a halt
Crying and crying

The sound of the shells
Tears turn to salt
Cry and I cry
Just one more illusion
I cry just for you
There's a hole in my head
Where the voices came through

Fly over land
Waiting and waiting
Where no hears can beat
Machinery's burning
The metal rains pour
Pour
Raining
Raining down on me

Premonition
