It's in my right more than my left
After you've taken from me
My freedom of speech or the light through my window
Just because you can't see
Should be heard by the deaf
Seen by the blind
Those who are too frightened to lose, so
This is a letter
A letter to both sides and
You're stuck in the middle
It's a middle with no left or right
What do you feel? How would you say
To the men that sit at th...
Man is a beast
Came down from the trees
Crawling around
Spreads his disease
Up on the rocks
Playing with fire
Inventing his needs
To quench the desire
Blood on his hands
Love on his mind
Hell as a future
He's leaving Heaven way behind
All is fair in love and war
Kiss me you fool, it's love that we're all dying for
All is fair in love and war
Head for the hills, who knows what the fighting's fo...
Lost feelings return
So now maybe I'll learn
To stop this world of a lie
This time around
Are we, are we, are we ourselves?
Are we, are we, are we ourselves?
Because seen through these eyes
We lead a double life
No one would know
So check it out, stepping out, here I go
Are we, are we, are we ourselves?
Are we, are we, are we ourselves?
Do we know, when will we find out
Are we, are we, are we ...
Some say a trick and some say a look
It's just a way of thinking after all
From underneath something concrete
It's just a way of coping, coping with it all
Some with revolt and some will obey
Who attains perfection and who's to say
A criminal or a cardinal
They're both frightened of angels
It doesn't mean much now
It's built for the future
It doesn't mean much now
It's built for the future

Calm animals expect nothing
Live suspicious to balance out
The effect of reason on their sunrise
There's a moving hide
Calm animals with no shackles
Free on a shrinking plain
So presented, it's economics
Small wonder, the pastures die
Calm, calm, calm, calm, animals
Free on a shrinking plain
Calm, calm, calm
Adventures to roam alone
So civilized the code stifles
A race with gestures has lost i...
A call is taken
The plans are made
The pawns are placed
For the masquerade
Closed hotel rooms
Off the Place Pigalle
All concealed
Behind the femme fatale
Take it from me
There's cameras in Paris
Take it from me
There's cameras in Paris
Political friction is greased by detante
One country can and another one can't
All the movements in a metaphor
Who is the sleeper found dead on the floor
Take i...
A feeling like camphor, rushing through my tubes
A cooling drought, a rare interlude
Drowning depression to admire and trust
Who can watch a man making dust to dust?
One legal dose of environment
The ballad of a playground swing
There's a lonely dog, so misunderstood
He's left his chores to become someone's friend
Things are so enchanting, high on life
Then, once again, the flash of pines
Beck...
One morale that needs the strengthening
A timely episode of fate, would you be there?
The sound of silence seems so deafening
To have to fight alone seems so [unverified]
Don't tell me
I can't finish what you started
I'm too far in to be without
Can't seem to preach without the practice
Far too many of us would like to get something started
The rush of youth, what it could achieve
Would create...
A little kid goes from
size one to size two
still we have same job
what is it that we do
all the change that's going on
in that tiny mind
still we're indecisive,
still we're wasting time
and there's cause, cause,
cause to be alarmed
who feeds the dove
who gives the world its charm
cause, cause, cause to be alarmed
we are pumped up fantasies
until the world's disarmed
a little hungry face
deser...
Chased by fools in a world of their own
Pushing aside all the signs that inspire
Avoiding the art to create a new issue
Someone with handcuffs who's chained to the past
If I'm changing then I'm changing
Take off your mask there's no place in my desk file
For someone who reasons
Regardless of new styles
Settled on a handshake, my first mistake
It's my life and I say, "What for this, this what f...
You chase the fire
You paint the signs
I walk the wire
You shout lines
There was a time when my mind
Was made up by you
Is this a deja vu
Am I just missing you?
I've been here before and lived
To the thrill of it all
I might be in the dark
But I'm watching you
You, you chase the fire
But you can't take the heat
You, you slay the lion
And you won't taste the meat
Your look was all it took
To ge...
To me you're inside out and upside down
To me you're inside out and upside down
I opened a door in me
Like a cat with curiosity
Unwrapped the perfect present
And saw a new history
Panic politics don't get me down
Bible thump posturing won't turn me 'round
It seems the rules were made
For some other time
Too much money in the pipeline
Too much fighting overseas
Too much hatred in the heartland
...
Every time I wear this shirt I think of you
All the dreams I have are always dreamt in blue
Every place I find myself I've been there with you
Abandoned loneliness, I ask why, why, why?
Why did you crucify me?
Strung up for your love
Was I so blind to see?
Pushed aside, sterilized, crucified
Looking back I see my faults, was I so wrong
To lock you up inside my arms? I thought I was being stron...
Talkin' about stealin' the show no one would know
Talkin' about stealin' the show when they're all lettin' go
Take a look at the witch see the twitch in her eye
Tell me what did she feel?
Is this the way of the world take a boy and a girl
Show them lying is real
Then I see the edge I look I fall
Deeper and deeper
The more I see the more I fall there's no place to hide
You better take the call
...
You left me shadows
Etched on the wall
You don't hear my whispers
I'm deaf from your call
Dream your lie in your tainted sun
Tell me I'm right when I'm left for dead
I wanna see you come in before I give in to you
You left me echoes
Footsteps in the hall
You marked the borders
I built the walls
Dream your lie in your tainted sun
Tell me who is right when I'm left for dead
Wanna see you come in...
Driven out by thieves
I watch them pillage the planet
Fueled by a fattening greed
Trees fall to the hatchet
Chopping against the grain
Our spirits in a vacuum
Sadly ignore the pain
End arrives, we all lose, we all lose
Hope it comes, it comes, it comes around
Driven out, holding out, day by day survival
Castaways have silent lives
With the strength to rival you
I've been driving in my car
I us...
Just give me something to hold on
A piece of the world that won't go wrong
Is there somebody there I can talk to?
Somebody sharing the same view?
Facing the wind
One avenue that would lead to
A place on this earth, where we all grew
Longing for travel, we stood still
Watching a sky that was once blue
Facing the wind, facing the wind
Facing the wind, facing the wind
Each line we throw, gives us...
Land to land
from sea to shining sea
a dream's a dream
no matter where you stand
heart to heart
your urge is pulling me
search we search
with your night light calling
Play hide and seek with me.
go dancing, following
go to the peak with me,
aspiring, climbing
to your sweet retreat
Scene to scene
we cast a s**ual eye
and then life unites
we're undercover

How much is enough?
Good enough, is not good enough
Don't complain that you've got it tough
With all you have, your life's a bore
Can't relax, you want so much more
Blind needs won't set you free
Can't you see that time is slipping away? But I got to say
How much is enough? When your soul is empty
How much is enough? In the land of plenty
When you have all you want and you still feel nothing a...
The mental image
Grand illusion
Brought together
By total fusion
Lost for words
Your company holds me
Totally yours
Your mind controls me
Place and time
For rendezvous
Your place or mine
I said I won't touch you
Now visions inside that
Last all day
Come back soon
Oh won't you stay
For you
I found you
I found you... you... oh you
Keeping the senses
Open aware
To try to change you
Who would dare...
And the feeling just ain't right
As I stare into the light
What a time to take a fall
I can't stand the night
And it's long in the tooth
But short in foresight
It's all that I have
And so I'll hold on tight
So I live
That's about all I can say
I breathe nearly every day
Some say that it's better this way
That I live, I live
Take a chance to hear the call
Make a stand to be so tall
'Cause it's ...
All I notice is the red in your eyes
A hidden secret, we are not supposed to cry
Feeling the need to express
Only in order to find how similar we are
Possess yourself or somebody else will
And when you're yourself, you might find you're someone else
You never know, you never know, you never know
If the love doesn't set you free
Then I will
If the love doesn't set you free
Then I will
The pleas...
I'm life, watching
I think I can
Measure the flow
I could swim that river
I'm fast breeding
I think I have
No cruise control
I can't stop the spiral
I'm sand wave, blown in the air
I come down in raindrop
I'm time passing
I think I know we'll meet again
We can climb the mountain
I'm life, watching
I think I can
Measure the flow
I could swim that river
I'm fast breeding
I think I have
No cruise...
Another home falls by the wayside
A few old cushions stuffed with pride
A hand is shaking from the rubble
This is spirit still alive
A servant bares his occupation
Breaks his back just growing old
Never mind his views were taken
Just saw by the rules of old
Less cities, more moving people
Rushing out with pride
Less cities, more moving people
These hands that once were tied
A church bell rang ...
Liner, it was a fantasy sea cruise
It was a bet destined to lose
Across the waves, what was he thinking?
Sea shore, he had a wet foot in the sand
He was holding U.N. plans
Across the waves, what was he thinking?
All aboard before the storm
They've never seen a place like this before
Island in a forgotten latitude
And with colonial attitude
They took the chance for repossession
Grey skies there...
Lost in battle overseas
Next thing you know you're on your knees
If you trust in someone on the screen
Then you'll be lost and overseas
Always sharing the time on your hands
Think of who plans the future for you
There's nothing you can do
So you're in a uniform
It's your calm before the storm
Where is it taking us
One sign of the cross and you're let loose
How long is the stretch of this hange...
When you're hanging
From a parachute
Whistling wind
Might play your flute
So forget it
Lost traffic
Someone said
You couldn't fly the plane
So I guess
This journey's all in vain
So forget it
Lost traffic
We're on a lost plane
Should've taken the train
On a lost plane
So forget it
Flying high
But your fuel is low
How far can
A missing plane go?
Lost traffic
Tell you that
You're flying radar
But...
As I wake today, same as yesterday
I get in my car, poor turn my wheels
So much to say, who's got time to listen
Fulfill our dreams, shame is left unseen
Why should someone lose so that I get by?
Why should someone pay just to send me high?
No one has to cry while I can smile
No one owns the sky, so blue above you
But somewhere in this world is a field where we all play
Secrets in your eyes, n...
The sailor walks across the ocean
Unsafe on waves of glass
Any time dark skies could open
He could perish at the mast
His stomach turns, the potion burns
He's lifting every stone
Money comes, and money goes
Man must always have a home
Money comes, and money goes
Man could never be alone
Hunter in his leafy temple
Monkeys sing the lions ride
Jungle tempting with example
His gun always by his si...
I've got a rover's eye
All the more to see with
It's an overview with space in mind
I can watch myself and bring my faults in line
With one look up oh yes I'm trying
The spirit's up I'm almost there
With mental wings I'm nearly flying
One look up I can see down
If you want to breathe fresh air
All you have to do is stand well clear
The things we need aren't always here
So if you feel the need ...
The deception with tact
Just what are you trying to say?
You've got a blank face, which irritates
Communicate, pull out your party piece
You see dimensions in two
State your case with black or white
But when one little cross leads to shots, grit your teeth
You run for cover so discreet
Why don't they do what you say?
Say what you mean oh, babe
One thing leads to another
You told me something w...
Watching, waiting
Playing, who's who
Don't play to win
To be second to you
The door will open
When I suffer enough
Who'll hold this hand
When the going gets rough?
Such good intentions
Always nipped in the bud
What do you expect?
Well, you never could
If I stop laughing
Just to be at your door, oh
Always opinions
Turning you round
Always opinions
Turning you down
I don't play chess
But I could...
Outside, I stretch the mind that hides within
New pride, I lose four walls that keep me tied
Outside, I breathe new air that reaches me
Fresh tide, does all the cleansing life can give
Tongue-tied, no words will match this point of view
Chastise, I don't belong as no one owns
Washing, flowing, taking, all my fears away
Rushing, blowing, touching, gives all life a grace
Washing, flowing, taking...
Phantom living
A ghost before my eyes
A deep thrill feeling
That someone roams my life
Sets off in the air at night
Steers me round to mother earth
Turns this search
Into a pair of learning eyes
Staring at a photograph
Doesn't stir the memory
Of something I thought would last
Underneath it all
Phantom living
Phantom living
I lose myself
With a distance in my mind
Throwing out deception
Emplant...
I danced in the surf
At the edge of an ocean
Could have been someone else
Could have been anything at all
Don't deny that you ask yourself
How do you weigh in
This precious stone?
I stumbled on a flaw in the order
Unwrapped the gift spread
The sheet to the border
There's no virtue if there's no sin
How do you weigh in
This precious stone
At the point of no return?
This precious stone
At the po...
So correct me if I'm wrong
Though a day's twenty four hours long
How come you feel unwired and disconnected
Draw attention to yourself
Is your life a living hell?
Change your act, re-write the script the way you planned it
Radio news reports
Truth and fact distorts
And the world's majority is understated
If the views are on your mind
It's the wavelength you must find
Be prepared to hold your w...

Red skies at night, red skies at night
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh, oh
Red skies at night, red skies at night
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh, oh
Should have taken warning
It's just people mourning, running, hiding, lost
Couldn't find, find a place to go
So it's red skies at night, red skies at night
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh, oh
Should have taken warning
It was just people ignoring, running, hiding, lost

Well, I've fallen in the well of emptiness
But at least I'm dry, I'm not dead just yet
I've been praying for rain, oh, but the sun keeps shining
I've been lost in the dust, oh, it's going to settle soon
In any event, it's a slump I can handle
I turn on my TV, see Gods playing devils
Just need to connect and get back in the stream
Pick up the tools, I see the rules and the schemes
The rules and...
I only wanted the truth, looking into
No more feelings of doubt
Then someone showed me the root of all evil
When all the lights were out
Shallow sleep, just leaning
Am I leaving the game?
I must be dreamin' lots of undercover
Dreams are always the same
When the nights close in
When the nights close
Well it's another night
I waste at the opera
With a permanent friend
I should have taken
Directi...
Maybe someday
Saved by zero
I'll be more together
Stretched by fewer
Thoughts that leave me
Chasing after
My dreams disown me
Loaded with danger
So maybe I'll win
Saved by zero
Maybe I'll win
Saved by zero
Holding onto
Words that teach me
I will conquer
Space around me
So maybe I'll win
Saved by zero
Maybe I'll win
Saved by zero
Maybe I'll win
Saved by zero
Maybe I'll win
Saved by zero

We are passengers in time
Lost in motion, locked together
Day and night by trick of light
I must take another journey
We must meet with other names
Ooh, we must meet with other names
You touched my heart so deeply
You rescued me, now free me
Don't watch me cry, just see me go
I'll take away the strongest feelings you will ever know
There will be no more isolation
In our secret separation
You t...
Are you locked in the paranoia?
You should enjoy the sense of doubt
Breaking down the walls of institution
I'm going to let my paganism out
A god of light, baron of evil
Supposed to show me hallowed ground
But these our monsters we created
To civilize our primal shouts
Sense the adventure
Let those feelings out
Sense the adventure
Let the pagan out
Not just because you have your answers

and you'll have words to say about that

It could happen to you, it could happen to me or anyone
Treading the mill, coming-of-age, and it falls undone
Here we stand, are you lost for sure?
It could happen to you, it could happen to me or anyone

It's all about worth, should we really buy it?
It's about time we shut it all out
It's about time we shut it all out

All I feel is the shuttered room
The striped light of detention
All I smell is shattered bone
Far too relevant to mention
In the shuttered room
In my shuttered room
In my shuttered room
In my shuttered room
Small holes where lead kissed the walls
This is no crime of passion
How many died without a cause
Could it be pure invention?
In the shuttered room
In the shuttered room

Heart of stone, I tried to reach you
Of the altar stone, I tried to warn you
But you were not alone you wouldn't take the call
You wear brimstone I tried to warm you
Always the same desire
After the tone they try to storm you
You are a voice alone and who dares to question
Forgotten at home how do you live with
Do you wear brimstone give me the call
Always the sign is fire

Some people make it, some people try
Some people break it, some people cry
Some people lose it, some people find
Some people lead us and some are behind

Crying parents tell their children
If you survive don't do as we did
Son exclaims there'll be nothing to do to
Her daughter says she'll be dead with you
While foreign affairs are screwing us rotten

Dying embers stand forgotten
Talks of peace were being trodden
Stand or fall
State your peace tonight
Stand or fall
Let's state it tonight

Sunshine warming the small of my back
Whatever virtues I lack
You can't see 'til I move
'Til I move in the shade
Sunshine in the shade
Sunshine in the shade

But then inside, sometimes I feel so cold
Catching these self thrown blows
But enough of the future I see
A shadow belonging to me

When a dream survives the longest night
and the vision takes a hold
when a breath inspires it's a sign of life
you're the string and I'm the bow
Jump in the flow
just get carried by the flow
Where the bank defines the water's edge
the river in my spine
as we circulate maybe we shall collide
you're the space and I am the time
Jump in the flow

Through a sleep I ride

A sort of place you don't often find
A quiet room to go out of your mind
Will you excuse me whilst I confide
I've found a place where I can hide
Lights out by nine as a rule
One grey blanket and a stool
Angels fear to tread where stands the fool
But the air is warm, and the walls are cool
So I'm kept away, so here I'll stay
Even the judges kneel and pray
I am the winner in any event, SNAP

Feel the pull, feel the swing, ain't no value
'Til you treasure it
Tread carefully, leave no tracks behind
Move easily, don't stack what you find
Breathe deeply, always look ahead
Wide open, there's a space time won't touch
Switch back, turn back
Switch back, turn back
We'll have our turn to use what we've learned
And stand up ...
Investigate what your ancestors left you
A wreath, a God and belief in slavery
You fight away this monochrome pact
It's legal action, it's matter of fact

The Romans hailed a Sun God
The Christians tortured Jews
Together is that belief for you

I will not speak strangely of this
Just put myself where you are
Life is so much clearer adrift
Just put myself where you are
Your wish is my sentence
And your truce, I can't deny
Blocked veins in the system
I think there you are
So I just put myself where you are
I could come much closer than this
To put myself where you are
But if life is just to hold and resist
I'll lose myself
Your wish is...
Pictures chase across the ceiling
As I try to sleep at night
There's a voice inside my darkness
Laughing at the life I've lost
She's no girl on pills in limbo
She's a woman on a train
With her senses sharpened by the warning cold
She brings me to memory
She flashes her lights, her mission bites
She flashes her lights
Across my desert mind
Still no change in me
She's no girl on pills in limbo
