I've come to take you home
I built it stone by stone
So come on
We burned the old one down
cause it was hell-bound
Scattered the ashes to the ground
Ooh the world is ours
Ooh the world is ours
Wait for the seeds to flower
We're starting over, come on
Take flight
To your new life
Don't cry
It's alright
There goes the heartache
There go your mistakes
They're gonna fade away
Take flight
To your new life
Don't cry
It's alright
Starting over
Starting over
(We're starting over)
Starting over
(We're starting over)

Another day try to get it right
Find a way through the fire fight
In the meantime keep your shit tight
On the breadline keep your spirits high
I won't give you up, I'm a fiend for love
The carousal, almost life like
Take the unicorn,l'll take the motorbike
A wishing well could be our goldmine
Throw your money, we'll make the sunshine
I know you've heard it before
You think I'm a wolf at the door
But you know what I've wanted
Want to let go but I'm haunted
I'm a lost cause, baby
And I can't stop sinking
But I still want more
In a freefall, baby
'Cause I can't stop thinking
'Bout everything I had before
Never turn your back on love, It's a crime
Forever you'll be in my heart and on my mind
Send your mind
Back again
Two of a kind
I remember when
At the start
We were only kids
Some fall apart
But we never did
In love, forever at war
It's all the same for the rich and the poor
I know where to find you
And I don't need to remind you
Take it on faith, it's how it's going to stay
Never gonna fade, Never gonna fade, no
Everything we made
Everything we saved
Everything we gave up
Everything we paid for
it can never fade
Even if changes
live another day
Remember what you give for
Turn another page
Buy a different name
The story is the same
You're everything I live for
Now and then
If we fall apart
Don't let the venom
Near your beating heart
It takes a lifetime
To know who we are
If you're the sunshine
I'm a black star
In love, forever at war
It's all the same for the rich and the poor
I know where to find you
And I don't need to remind you
I'm a lost cause, baby
And I can't stop sinking
But I still want more
In a freefall, baby
'Cause I can't stop thinking
'Bout everything I had before
You're the queen of the south paws
Comin' out swinging
But I'm still coming back for more

If You Want It
03:39
|

|
A getaway car full of bullet holes
Didn't stop pushin' till they broke the mold
Didn't die young but they didn't grow old, as well
The Necromancer, and the Southern belle
Sittin' outside the gates of hell
Lickin' their lips 'cause the axe just fell, again
And they were singin'
If you want it,If you want it,
Then you're gonna have to take it from me
If you want it, well it's all for sale
Never gonna get it for free
If you want it,If you want it
well you're gonna have to give me something
If you want it then I need to know
What's in it for me?
Some of them fall, some of them fade
Some get lost in the masquerade
Looking' for the sun but you found the shade, again
The cosmic dancer, the marquis de sade
were Holdin' on to the lightnin' rod
Looking for kicks but the plan was flawed, again
And again, they were singin'
If you want it,If you want it,
Then you're gonna have to take it from me
If you want it, well it's all for sale
Never gonna get it for free
If you want it,If you want it
well you're gonna have to give me something
If you want it then I need to know
What's in it for me?
I remember love and the stars above
When push comes to shove, you run for cover
You found the scent sing, you're hell bent again
now you can't pretend to be a lover
In the afterlife, on the other side
You found peace of mind, undercover
You're the rock that rolls, you're the bell that tolls
You're the one that pulls me like no other
I'm livin' outside the law
I'm waitin' for the ice to thaw
Just listen for the crow to call and then
we were singin'
If you want it,If you want it,
Then you're gonna have to take it from me
If you want it, well it's all for sale
Never gonna get it for free
If you want it,If you want it
well you're gonna have to give me something
If you want it then I need to know
What's in it for me?
If you want it,If you want it,
Then you're gonna have to take it from me
If you want it, well it's all for sale
Never gonna get it for free
If you want it,If you want it
well you're gonna have to give me something
If you want it then I need to know
What's in it for me?

Black Spark
03:49
|

You never miss your mark
Undercover you're a black spark girl
Setting fires in the dark
Sowing chaos in the heart
Why don't we step outside
Before this fever breaks
Let's see what you can give
Let's see what I can take
You're a black spark
I'm a pretender
You're setting fires in the dark and I surrender
You're a black spark
I'm a pretender
You set fire to my heart and I surrender
What if the kind of love we dream of
Two broken hearts can't make
Let's see who wins the war between
The lion and the snake
I've fooled myself for too long baby
Someone like you could never save me
Shapeshifting girl you're always changing
While my world keeps rearranging
It's such a strange thing
You're a black spark
I'm a pretender
You're setting fires in the dark and I surrender
You're a black spark
I'm a pretender
You set fires to my heart and I surrender
Why don't you let me go
I can't withstand the blow
I've got no grip to hold
I've got no hand to fold
The shadow and the spark
The raven and the lark
This love is like a car crash, an old fashioned brawl
Oh won't you set me free
Why can't you let me be
It's either white flags or body bags for you and me
Unlock the cage and set me loose
I've tried escape but what's the use?
The water's deep and I can't swim
You always reel me back again
This only ends up at the start
Which shattered dreams and broken hearts
And you hit me with your poison dart
And I find myself falling again with my fate in the hands of the Black Spark
You're a black spark
I'm a pretender
You're setting fires in the dark and I surrender
You're a black spark
I'm a pretender
You set fires to my heart and I surrender

Roll With The Spirits
05:29

I'm a medicine man and a prophet
I got a bag full of dreams in my pocket
Sail your boat but I don't wanna rock it
Free your mind, let me help you unlock it
It's a sign of the times we live in
To be taking more than we're giving
Sit back let your conscience go swimming
It's just a sign of the times we live in
Come alive if your willing to try your medicine
You'll never die so you'll never need to be born again
It's criminal what you pay for a hologram heaven
That's gonna fade
I only want to make things better for you
Follow me you're gonna make the grade
I always roll with full denim jacket
I talk tough, but I know how to back it
You know I got match point on your racket
I see the future 'cause I always had an knack for it
Get you coming alive on the weekends
When the mystery only deepens
I'll get you back online with your feelings
Get you living again on the weekends
Just one drop and the fun begins
Straight to the top and it never ends
Running from the cops cause they don't understand
You can make it stop if you just say "when"
Let go you're almost home
Let go you're almost home
You've got a paper bag soul let me fill it
You've legs but roll with the spirit
You've got a heart won't you let me get near it
You've got magic on your mind don't you fear it
When I tell you the sky's the limit
It's your piece of the pie, so live it
If the future's too bright I can dim it
Cause I can tell you the sky's the limit

Ritual Dance

The Great War
1-9-1-4
Out on the floor getting hot
We were dancing the foxtrot
Oh! we didn't know it was a funeral dance
And a whole generation didn't know it was a last chance
And on the Eve of Armageddon
Back in those days in '37
We were swinging to the big bands
It was a Ritual Dance
When you push to the edge
And you're out of your head
You just dance
When it all comes down
When you're losing ground
When the only way out is to get lost in the crowd
You just dance
When the sky turns red
When you're left for dead
When the whole world seems to go out of its head
You just dance
When I was young in '81
The Red Tide
Was coming on
We were finished with disco and doing the Apocalypse Dance
When you're waiting for the bomb and you're trying to get on
You just dance
The situation is hostile
Resistance is futile
So just dance
When you're pushed to the edge
And you're out of your head
You just dance
When it all comes down
When you're losing ground
When the only way out is to get lost in the crowd
You just dance
When the sky turns red
When you're left for dead
When the whole world seems to go out of it's head
You just dance
We all know the song
And we all know the way that it ends
We all sing along
And the band plays it over again...
When you're waiting for the bomb and you're trying to get on
You just dance
When you're pushed to the edge
And you're out of your head
You just dance
When it all comes down
When you're losing ground
When the only way out is to get lost in the crowd
You just dance
When the sky turns red
When you're left for dead
When the whole world seems to go out of it's head
You just dance
We all know the song
And we all know the way that it ends
We all sing along
And the band plays it over again...

Tourist Trap
03:25
|

|
Orion the Hunter loosened his belt
And sat down with the Maître d'
Said I'm a cosmological tourist trap on
Heaven's radar screen
This ain't how I want to live but it's how I'm living now
I gave everything that I have to give but
It's never enough somehow
I want what I want and I've got what I have
But the truth is all too clear
We fall apart for love
And if the world is a tourist trap
Then we're all just visitors here
And we all fall apart for love
every night when Andromeda calls me
I can feel that she's reeling me in
I can't fight cause the woman enthralls me
And I know that I never can win
And if Cassiopeia
Won't let me see her
I'll have to cease and desist
And if all that I have is just a bow and a belt
Then how can I be sure I even exist?
I want what I want and I've got what I have
But the truth is all too clear
We all fall apart for love
And if the world is a tourist trap
Then we're all just visitors here
And we all fall apart for love
Ooh I'm calling you as my witness
Oooh So don't fall before you make it to the finish
When I finish the game, you'll remember my name
Put me back in the game, you'll remember my name
Let the world come back to it's senses
I'm staying here on the edge
I'm getting' tired of always mending the fences
I wanna walk on the ledge
On a night full of stars you were dimmer than most
But it was plain to see
Between Elvis and the holy Ghost
You were coming looking for me
(See how far we have to go
When I finish the game, you'll all remember my name
Look to the stars if you need to know
Put me back in the game, you'll all remember my name
See how far we have to go
When I finish the game, you'll all remember my name
Look to the stars if you need to know
Put me back in the game, you'll all remember my name)

Rogue Empire
03:50
|
|||
|
She came from nowhere, she was nobody's daughter
Black eyes and raven hair, she fell and no one caught her
I saw her standing there, she pulled me under water
She said "You're only sheep, you're all just cannonfodder"
I belong to no one, I'll be nobody's thrall
But you could take me dancing then going to take Montreal
even now I can hear her say
"There's only one winner in the games we play"
Hey now girl is your head on fire?
Is there room for another in your rogue empire
Forgive me baby if I steal a kiss
What else could I do on a night like this?
Out on the corner we'll be shaking our fists at the world
Everything I told her, she said was wasted breath
She called herself a soldier in the war against death
"If you like to get older, boy you should watch your step
I'll hold you to the fire I'll put your love to the test"
Even now I can hear her say
There's only one winner in the games we play
Now every night, I go out walking alone
I'm trying to find her, she doesn't carry a phone
She says I'm blinded and that my heart's in a coma
I'm reminded that there's no winning her ever to any side
If this is my life, don't tell me how to live it
Won't be a trophy wife I'll take as much as I can give it
Now you're a soldier, so you can have this kiss
But I shoot from the heart I tell you boy I never miss
Even now I can hear her say
"There's only one winner in the games we play..."

Lake Effect
03:47
|
|||
|
The summer's golden days
I can remember
we dreamed them all away
Now the witch of November
Is blowing gales again on the great lakes
And your hands shake when the storm breaks in
It's the end
You can blame it on the lake effect
The sky is falling and it ain't done yet
Don't you know that when it takes effect
No way of telling where the sun will set
Long live our northern souls
The tilted sunlight
Throws shadows lone and cold
Til the moonlight makes fire of the snow
Makes you feel like
We've lived this all before
Don't let the days roll by
We fought, we won, we ran from the storm
We learned, we taught, we died, we were born
We kissed, we cried, we vowed, we lied
We turned the page, we turned the screw
You fought for me and I fought for you
And now these golden days
Of the summer
Have vanished in the haze of winter slumber
The storm comes through in waves
Pushes us under
The snow could last for days
Long Live our northern souls
The tilted sunlight
Throws shadows long and cold
Til the moonlight makes fires of the snow
Makes you feel like
We've lived this all before
I can see it coming over the shore
A hundred white horses pulling the storm
Everybody's running, flocking the deer
Some of us are dancing, waiting for more

The House Inside
05:12
|
|||
|
7 O'clock day pours into the dark
Gonna sing the angels and swim with the sharks
Money is tight but the kids are alright
You walk out of the door and into the light
Pistols at dawn, lines are already drawn
You shoot for the heart but you waited too long
Cover your tracks then you slip through the cracks
You demand satisfaction but the moment is gone
Baby don't run, baby don't cry
We need to learn the house is inside
We can go far and we can go wide
Always return
The house is inside
Pages turn over and over
Days going one by one
Pages turn over and over
Days going one by one
The view from the street, you'd never guess
That inside it's a chess match that nobody wins
Sound the retreat, it's for the best
Gonna land on your feet, let the healing begin
Baby don't run, baby don't cry
We need to learn the house is inside
We can go far and we can go wide
Always return
The house is inside
Give me your heart, I've given you mine
We knew from the start the house is inside
Never apart, in body and mind
Don't look too far, the house is inside
You'll never walk alone
You're never on your own
We'll raise it from the dust
The house inside of us
Four walls just ain't enough
To hold on to a love
It has to fill you up
I'm never giving up on you
I can forgive if you can forget
Just live and let live with no regrets
This is our song, there's no singing it wrong
It's all that we have and it's where we belong
Pages turn over and over
Days going one by one
Pages turn over and over
Days going one by one
Baby don't run, baby don't cry
We need to learn the house is inside
We can go far and we can go wide
Always return
The house is inside
Give me your heart, I've given you mine
We knew from the start the house is inside
Never apart, in body and mind
Don't look too far, the house is inside

Spring Fever
05:15
|
|||
|
The river freed from the clutches of ice
The music of bees pollinates the light
The future hangs on the roll of a dice
The whisper of trees gives voice to the night
I'm on my way
Don't know where I'm going but I'm here today
Rumors and lust do a dance on the breeze
Easy conversations saying more than they need
And a mouth full of dust makes it harder to breathe
For all the medication but we still can't see
We're on our way
Don't know where we're going but we're here today
We're on our way
Don't know where we're going but we're here today
Everybody's living underneath the covers
Going off the deep end waiting for the summer
I don't know the answer, I don't know the reason
You become a dancer, I become a demon
Always changing with the seasons
I'm leaving home but I hope you know
That I'll be back before the snows begin
My soul as barren as the soil
But I feel my blood begin to boil again
Listen close and you'll hear the sound
It's boiling up from the underground
Spring fever, spring fever has a hold of this town
The music of bees that was lost is found
We're on our way
Don't know where we're going but we're here today
We're on our way
Don't know where we're going but we're here today
