Coming Down
Welcome back to earth my fine young lucky southern son
How was your trip to outer-space it sure did look like fun
You seem somewhat puzzled like you just can't readjust
You're covered in the battle scars and pitted up with rust
And your mom and dad have missed you and I'm sure your friends agree
There's no substitute for solitude and anonymity
Chorus:
I'm just coming down from this cloud ahead
World was spinning around the voices echo things that she said
I'm just coming down from this starry sky
I'm just glad to be here and most of all I'm thankful I'm alive
I hear the whispers in the crowd from jealous tongues
Shadows from the shameful light my ego's come undone
And your dignity has missed you and I'm sure your soul agrees
This fire sale has cost you your pace and sanity
(Chorus)
The path that I must take will lead me to despair
When I'm a million miles away will no one even care
(Chorus)

Ride The Wind
Hearts of fire
Streets of stone
Modern warriors
Saddle iron horses of chrome
Taste the wild
Lick the wind
Like something they never saw before
Their jaws dropping to the floor
Steel made of soul and sin
Rebels born without a care
And the day he listens
Only to fly where eagles dare
And the night she whispers
Chorus:
Ride the wind
Never coming back until I touch the midnight sun
Ride the wind
Never coming back again
Ride the wind
Never coming back until I touch the midnight sun
Painted flesh
Loyalty
Humble pride
Just as far as the eye can see
Stories told
Two old friends
Of battle scars and lonely bars
And nights the rain wouldnt end
Heres to withered eyes wearing gypsy smiles
And the day he listens
Heres to lovely ladies and a million miles
And the night she whispers
Chorus
Ride the wind
Im still the bravest soul in sin,
Burning till the night is done.
Solo
Of all the truths and lies
And stories of riders in the sky
They say only the bravest try
Where eagles and angels dare to fly

Old Black Joe
1 Gone are the days when my heart was young and gay,
2 Gone are my friends from the cotton fields away,
3 Gone from the earth to a better land I know,
4 I hear their gentle voices calling 'Old Black Joe.'
5 [Chorus] I'm coming, I'm coming, for my head is bending low:
6 I hear those gentle voices calling, 'Old Black Joe.'
7 [Solo] Why do I weep when my heart should feel no pain
8 Why do I sigh that my friends come not again,
9 Grieving for forms Now departed long a go?
10 I hear their gentle voices calling 'Old Black Joe.'
11 [Chorus] I'm coming, I'm coming, for my head is bending low:
12 I hear those gentle voices calling, 'Old Black Joe.'
13 [Solo] Where are the hearts once so happy and so free?
14 The children so dear that I held upon my knee,
15 Gone to the shore where my soul has longed to go.
16 I hear their gentle voices calling 'Old Black Joe.'
17 [Chorus] I'm coming, I'm coming, for my head is bending low:
18 I hear those gentle voices calling, 'Old Black Joe.'

The Soldiers Return
(bell/clarke)
Slow the years go by
They stole your man off to war
Will you see the child
As you sing battle songs
And it pains me
To think of the soldiers plight
I will pray
For your heart to guide you home
And she cries for the soldiers return
Despair of feeling alone for so long
By the light of the candle that burns
For his life
For the day of the soldiers return
Hear the cannon fire
Lost voices echo in the night
See the spoils of war
Young men are falling, ooh
Hear the drummer marching oer the hill
Love returning and the graves of the battle lie still
And she cries...(chorus)
Hear the drummer marching oer the hill
Love returning and the graves of the battle lie still
And she cries...(chorus)
Young men are falling, young men are falling...

Missed the meeting, missed the meeting
Where my friends discussed why
I'm not around, i'm not around
You say i don't know who my real friends are
All i know is my real friends aren't
Talking behind my back, talking behind my back
Chorus:
Assuming things before they even ask me
Why i'm not behaving like i should
In their mind's eye, but they don't even know me
And i don't think they ever could
Missed the meeting, missed the meeting
Where my friends discussed why
I'm not around, i'm not around
If it's really important for you to say
Then you can say it to my face
Stop hiding out, stop hiding out

Maybe you fear what you don't know
And it hurts too much just to let it g

Love Attack
You hit me with a body blow, you hit me fast, then you hit me slow
You knock me out with the way you look
You have me hanging, baby, on your hook
I think about you all day and all night, my friends all swear Im going insane
Now I dont care who is wrong or whos right, cos youre the cure for my pain
Chorus:
Im coming down with a love attack, I surrender, I cant turn back
Coming down with a love attack, stay with me the rest of my life
Lay a little love on me
You dont know what youve done to me
You hit me hard, but you still cant see
I need your love every single night, I dont know why it feels so right
I got the fever, I sure got it bad, you touch me and my heart catches fire
I cant find it, youre driving me mad, you send my temperature higher
(chorus) - and make a little love
(solo)
Every thought seems to lead to you, I cant decide what Im gonna do
Theres only one thing that can put this right
Im gonna tell you how I feel tonight
I got the fever, I sure got it bad, you touch me and my heart catches fire
I cant find it, its driving me mad, you send my temperature higher

Im coming down with a love attack, coming down
Im coming down, theres no turning back, coming down

Changes
Dont you feel a change a-coming
From another side of time
Breaking down the walls of silence
Lifting shadows from your mind
Placing back the missing mirrors
That before you couldnt find
Filling mysteries of emptiness
That yesterday left behind.
Chorus:
And we all know its better
Yesterday has passed
Now lets all start the living
For the one thats going to last.
(repeat chorus)
Dont you feel the day is coming
That will stay and remain
When your children see
The answers
That you saw the same
When the clouds have all gone
There will be no more rain
And all the beauty of all things
Is uncovered again.
Chorus
(repeat chorus)
Dont you feel the day is coming
And it wont be too soon
When the people of the world
Can all live in one room
When we shake off the ancient
Chains of our tomb
We will all be born again
Of the eternal womb.

Stay Alive
Listen up, child, theres one thing Ive got to make clear
Yeah, I do
You dont see it coming
Hear it coming
Acting like you know nothing
About that strange rumor going on around here
Take me back to the land of the living
Take me down where the sun do shine
Take me back, things be different
You get it, got it, ooooh, you better get it now
Chorus:
Stay alive, let your soul rise up from the bottom
Stay alive, dont let it take you down for the very last time
Stay alive, it dont do you no good looking up from the bottom
Stay alive, dont let it take you down for the very last time
You talk about lies and pain
It dont do you no good with your face in the cocaine
Love, hate, watch that mother
Shell bring you down like no other Ive seen
If you know what I mean
Take me back, got to face that demon
Take me down, dont play its fool
Take me back, things be different
You get it, got it, ooooh, you better get it now

Shadows On Your Side
Shackled and raised for a shining crowd,
They want you to speak but the music is louder than -
All of their roar, with the heat of the planets core, but..
The shadows are on your side,
As soon as the lights go down.
In the darkest place you can find,
You belong to the hands of the night..
Promises made with a distant friend
Truth should be known it can only bend -
To a tune of its own, hey youll never hear that voice again.
Scandal in white on a tangled vine
With everybody to say that youre having the time of your life -
When your life is on the slide, but..
(chorus) (chorus)
-
(oh-ohh...oh-oh-oh)
(oh-ohh...oh-oh-oh)
Spinning a compass to choose your way
You can run, you can dive, you can stand and you can soar..
Whichever way you can be sure, that...

Shadows on your side
The shadows are on your side
Shadows on your side
The shadows are on your side

Why do you keep coming at me?
It just won't work out, me and you.
I can't believe that you are so true!

Please, tell me, oh,
Please tell me

You keep at it, and you'll see..

Power Of A Million Lights
I hear your voice close on the phone
But I know youre far away
Ive waited so long to talk to you
But now I cant find the words to say
So I sit and I listen to you
Breathe on the open line
I can almost taste your lips
And touch your hair
Its like intoxicating wine
I can almost see your face
Through the miles and miles of space
Chorus
I can feel the power of a million lights
When I see your eyes burn bright
I can see the sparks of a million volts
When you touch me through the night
I can feel the heat across a million miles
When you voice comes through the line
I can feel the power of a million lights
Come through the satellite
Although these oceans hold us apart
Where theres a will theres a way
Im going to reach across the miles of sea
No matter what they say
So close your eyes and Ill be there
Theres magic in the sky tonight
When you see the lightning flash around the world
Its the power of a million lights
Until I see your face
Through the miles and miles of space
Chorus
Somewhere over the atmosphere
The signals are crossed
Now youre not so clear
The power is out and the lights are down
My head is spinning
Round and round and round and round and round
You know I need you more tonight
By the power of a million lights

I will pray
For you've gone to guide you home

The graves of the battle lies still

I Believe
I haven't had this feeling lately
I want to get up and go
It's like I'm thinking crazy thoughts and
Sometimes I just don't know
Don't make me start without you
Cause I got nowhere to go
Chorus
'Cause I believe you
When you say you're coming over today
I believe you
When you say you're coming here to stay
Now if you think I'm lying to ya
If you're having your doubts
Go ask all of my friends now if ya
Wonder what I'm about
If ya even think about me
I hope that it's all good
Chorus
I think I've waited long enough now
I think I'll get up and go
You think I'm just a game you're playing
I'm at an all time low
If you make me start without you
I might just not show

--with me
can we get along
we only have one day
I feel as if I just can't sleep
I'll come another time...

Look out for a better world - lost my mind

The musics no good without you

The musics no good without you, baby
The musics no good at all
The musics no good without you, baby
Come back to me
Chorus
Everyone was watching
You were the freakiest thing on the show
Dazzling in the crystal ball
They only love to watch you glow
You were the center of attention
The eye of the stone
Whirlwind from outer space
Like a twister on the scene
Chorus
Mesmerize them when we dance
cause you sparkle next to me
Whizzing along the razors edge
But you were crazy to be free
I, I agonize til you come back
And we dance that close again
I miss you, boy, I really do
Come back to me, come back to me
cause my world stop spinning
Nothing I can do
So I pray that the dj lifts my heart

Spit It Out
Back then my life was empty
Most things around disturbed me
Messed-up and really restless
My head was filled with distless
Until the day you saved me
You made me see things clearly
Nothing is ever hopeless
Got to know how to love myself
You made me love you, me and life
(chorus:) Go ahead, spit it out, go ahead,
go ahead, spit it out
That I am stupid
Go ahead, spit it out, go ahead,
go ahead, spit it out
That I was mistaken
Go ahead, spit it out, go ahead,
go ahead, spit it out
That I missed my chances
Go ahead, spit it out, go ahead,
go ahead, spit it out
That I cannot fix it
Right now I grab my head and
Look back at what I have done
I've been a total fool
Can find no explanation
One day I could not take it
Guess things were just too perfect
So I took my stuff and left you
Though I will always love you
Thought you saved me I still left you

Until my journeys done
Ten miles, ten miles away

Until I see your face

Hey Im on my way

To teach your soul to pray

Baby gimme sexo...
Lover, the moment has come
Ill give it all to you until I come undone

So many nights alone

Strawberry Blonde
There she goes down in my head
Saying things she never said
Ee comings coming soon
But shell be reading on the moon
And I dont know why shes gone
Id welcome her in my arms
But shell always be strawberry blonde
There she goes back in my heart
Blowing cobwebs in the dark
The five oclock comes round the bend
And so she goes off with her friend
Chorus
She wrote a letter to her sister
She said this time its the end
She never knew how much I missed her
Around the bend
There she goes down in my head
Leaving cobwebs in my bed
Ee comings coming soon
But shell be laughing on the moon

Keep Coming Back
You know just how to hurt me
And how to take all the pain away
Girl, you must be the devil in disguise
There were tiimes, I think you knew
When I was so afraid of you
Theres some kind of madness in your eyes
You know a place buried deep in my heart
Nobody else can see
Something in you has taken some kind of hold on me
Chorus
I dont know why I keep coming back to you, baby
I dont know why I keep coming back to you
To you baby
You say we shouldnt be lovers
And I say we cant just be friends
And all this talking just makes me want you more
Youve got a way of confusing a heart
That nobody else could do
Why should I try, I dont want to get over you
Chorus
I dont know why I keep coming back to you, baby
Just tell me why I keep coming back to you
I dont know why I keep coming back to you, baby
Tell me why I keep coming back to you

So in love, and nothing can keep me away
Youve got a way of confusing a heat
That nobody else could do
Why should I try, I dont want to get over you

In colors red and gold they set us on fire
Burning just like a moonbeam ..in our eyes

Swinging the world by the tail
Bouncing over a white cloud.
Killing the blues
I am guilty of something
I hope you never do because there is nothing
Sadder than losing .. yourself in love

Late Bar
Theres a hole in the wall next to you
Things with legs are crawling through
Their madly searching for the door in your room
Youre coming out, your coming down
Theres an all night party in room 7609
(la-la-la late bar la la la la la la la late)
You can dance together all night, if youve got the time
(la-la-la late bar la la la la la la la late)
The bodies move like flies on the wall -
You want to run but theres no space at all
The dancers spinning in the mirror ball
Youre coming out your going round

Just come to the late bar
Come, so fast
Drink..
I know what Im talking about
I know what Im doing
Ahh..
