"Cheater"

"Cheater"


Cheater, I know where you've been
Cheater, your lies can't hide your sin
Cheater, don't ask me how I've know
Cheater, I guess it's time for you to go

I'm tired of chasing shadows
So lllusive in the night
And your empty words
That leave me high and dry
Now the curtain's finally fallen
On this fantasy affair
You've had me for the last time
With your lies

Cheater, you're a cheater
I know where you've been
Cheater, your lies can't hide your sin
Cheater, don't ask me how I've know
Cheater, I guess it's time for you to go

The voices in the wind I heard
Kept telling me to run
Whispering a warning to my heart
And the voices deep as thunder
Tried to speak of things to come
I was blinded then
But now I see the light

Cheater, you're a cheater
And I know where you've been
Cheater, mean mistreater
Your lies can't hide your sin
Cheater, don't ask me how I've know
Cheater, I guess it's time for you to go

Cheater. I know where you've been
Cheater, you're a cheater
Cheater, you're a cheater
Cheater, I know where you've been
Your lies can't hide your sins
Cheater...

"Choices"

"Choices"


I was walking alone thru a side show
With passion and pain on each side.
Something inside me was calling
For a chance to stay alive.

At the time I didn't know what was calling
As my head was buried in grief.
Today I heard what was crying.
My FREEDOM calling me

And we all make our choices
Like a blind man feels his way,
And the choice I've made is simple:
Passion over pain.

When I got to the end of the side show
And looked back to where I had been,
My eyes filled with teardrops of loneliness
For the ones who will never be free

And we all make our choices
Like a blind man feels his way,
And the choice I've made is simple:
Passion over pain.

I thought of the children in the side show
As they wandered around so confused.
Some day they'll make their decision
But which one will they choose?

And we all make our choices
Like a blind man feels his way,
And the choice I've made is simple:
Passion over pain.

"Circle Of Hands"

"Circle Of Hands"


Circle of hands
Cold spirits plan
Searching my land for an enemy
Came across love's sweet cost
And in the face of beauty
Evil was lost

Sky full of eyes, minds full of lies
Black from their cold hearts, down to their graves
Murdered the dawn, spreading their scorn
Cursing the sun of which love was born

We must keep them away
Or pretty soon we'll pay
And count the cost in sorrow
Sacrifice, the future has its price
And today is only yesterday's tomorrow

We must keep them away
Or pretty soon we'll pay
And count the cost in sorrow
Sacrifice, the future has its price
And today is only yesterday's tomorrow, tomorrow
Tomorrow, tomorrow
Tomorrow, tomorrow
Tomorrow, tomorrow

"Circus"

"Circus"


Walkin' around this concrete garden
Viewing all in vain
Thinking why a dream is driving everyone insane

Then something will come and make you feel
The master in control
Still you're pickin' up and screwing anyone
Who's gotta soul

I've been here far too long to remember
Sights and sounds from this town of clowns

Makin' up, dressin' up and walkin' around
Thinkin' that you're Greta Garbos
I'm sorry my dears but we only sat down
And laughed and laughed in sorrow
But it was you that opened the door, and
It's that we thank you for

Walkin' around this concrete garden
Viewing all in vain
Thinking why a dream is driving everyone insane
Everyone insane
Everyone insane
Everyone's insane

"Come Away Melinda"

"Come Away Melinda"


Daddy, Daddy, come and look
See what I've found
A little ways away from here
While digging in the ground

Come away Melinda
Come in and close the door
It's nothing, just a picture-book
They had before the war

Daddy, Daddy, come and see
Daddy, come and look
Why, there's four or five little Melinda girls
Inside my picture book

Come away Melinda
Come in and close the door
There were lots of little girls like you
Before they had the war

Daddy, Daddy, come and see
Daddy, hurry do!
Why, there's someone in a pretty dress
She's all grown up like you
Won't you tell me why

Come away Melinda
Come in and close the door
That someone is your Mommy
You had before the war

Daddy, Daddy, tell me if you can
Why can't things be the way they were
Before the war began

Come away Melinda
Come in and close the door
The answer lies in yesterday
Before they had the war

"Come Back To Me"

"Come Back To Me"


Alone again I feel so alone again
With this emptiness I just can't hide
Picture me with a broken heart
See the tears run down my face

Everything I had has gone
Loneliness... still lingering on
Everything I thought was mine...
Come back to me can't, we try it one more time,
Come back to me

I know I'll find another love in time
But you'll always be there in the back of my mind
The power of love can bring such pain
I still love you I just love you

Alone again I'm so alone again
With nothing but you in my mind
Can't you see what you've done to my life
What can I do to win you back again

Everything I had has gone
Loneliness... still lingering on
Everything I thought was mine...
Come back to me can't we try it one more time
Come back to me, take a piece of my heart
Come back to me

"Confession"

"Confession"


I'm so sorry for the things I've done
And the times it went a little wrong
Try to understand that I made my plans
With my love for you in mind

Sometimes you get the wrong idea
And I can't seem to make it clear
If my heart doesn't show it's cause I don't know
The best way to say I love you

Every living day you fill my heart
With a breath of spring
And I search the universe for some joy
That I can bring
To you

Every living day you fill my heart
With a breath of spring
And I search the universe for some joy
That I can bring
To you!

"Corridors Of Madness"

"Corridors Of Madness"


I'm looking out over the water
Feeling the cold in my bones
A terrible nightmare growing around me
I never felt so alone
I'm starting to see my reflection
A whisper of light in the sky
The dark water called me, pulling me in
Down where the old spirits lie

I look at the moon as it flickers
Through the waves like a lost memory
I'm losing control as the spirits are laughing
Singing their dark harmony
They try everything to destroy me
They're drawing me into the game
Question or answer, will I live or die
Convincing me I am insane

Ah ah ah...
In the corridors of madness
Ah ah ah...
They go on and on and on
Ah ah ah...
They say they want to take me home

They live in the world under water
Maybe we end up this way
But I'm still alive and I'm frightened to death
The fear of watery grave
I'm reaching out into the silence
Begging for help to appear
The whisper of light that was there in the sky
Pulling me into the clear

So don't look out over the water
You never know what you will find
You could be saved or you could be lost
May even go out of your mind
So now when you see your reflection
As spirits are tempting you in
Calling your name like a lamb to the slaughter
Fearing the pendulum swing

"Crime Of Passion"

"Crime Of Passion"


See the blind man at the dead of night
He can see, so he won't fight
Running scared like a swan in flight
On and on, looking for delight
But it's you, he'll hear you running
As this blind man tells the blind ??

See the children in the jungle zone
Black man woken till your work is done ??
He can't hide, there's nowhere to run
Waiting for salvation to come
And it's you, coming from far
Got a lonely mind to sell

Crime of passion, crime of pain
How long before I see you again
I've been free and I've been high
Got a soul, never ask my why

"Cross That Line"

"Cross That Line"


What do you say to a talk over dinner
Though we haven't spoken for a while
This time I won't take no for an answer
You can't hide forever
From your only son
Let's take a seat
Right here by the window
I remember how you like the view
Now look me in the eye
The truth I wanna hear

The time is right
There's a shadow hanging
Over me tonight

Tell me what you did now
Even though it hurts to say it
It's always been a mystery
Locked behind the door
Tell me if it's true now
Do you need the heart to say it
I always did my best for you
Don't you lie
Don't you lie no more

You taught me the way
To be a winner
And never to play
On the losing side
I guess that I turned out
The way you always planned

So hard, to cross that line
But the words have got to come
From you this time
