A Fix On You

How many times have I said it before
You can't keep coming back once you walk out that door
I don't know why I take it time and again
You're like a building on fire
Rockets in the sky
The heat of the city that's burning in my eyes
I never should have fell for you
Let you do me like you do
And I can't, I can't get a fix on you
How can you tell me in the dark of despair
That I'm the only one who ever really cared
How many times have you said it to the others
Things being said, talk going down
There's been rumors in the alley and they're gettin' uptown
I never shoulda listened to you
Every lie you tell's like the truth
And I can't, I can't get a fix on you
Every time I get the courage to kiss it all goodbye
I start thinkin' 'bout the moments you keep creepin' in my life
Every time I tell you this will be the last time
The building catches fire
The rockets in the sky
The heat of the city starts burning in my eyes
I never shoulda fell for you
Let you do me like you do
And I can't, I can't get a fix on you

Sorrow's Forecast

Oh, I coulda done something
Gone the extra mile
Take the next step
Instead of looking at regrets
I coulda been famous
I coulda been rich
I coulda kissed the right ass
Made it in the press
Am I losing my touch, does it matter so much?
Am I losing my grip, am I starting to slip?
Yeah, I coulda made the right moves
Been a smooth pop singer
Made my mother proud
If she could see me now
Coulda made the right contacts
Shook the right hands
Made the >>in<< parties
Played in soft rock bands
Yeah, I coulda learned to play the games
I coulda got down on my knees
I coulda had a stage name
Coulda learned to say please
I coulda jumped on the wagon
God knows I had the chance
I coulda sold my soul
Just to get it in advance

Clouds Of Dawn
02:45

We ain't got the feeling and dreams not at all
For those who come lately are in for a fall
We're told of our outcome in silent rage and anger
We're bent out of focus facing the chasing danger
Miles away, miles away, we're miles away
But the clouds of dawn will soon be gone
Hold it too close you'll squeeze it to death
For those who push hardest soon run out of breath
I know there's a reason for moments of sadness weeping
It's the pain of a lifetime, it's all we have worth keeping
Lose your illusions and you'll lose your chance
For those who control love have no romance
But I still don't know you for all the time we're taking
You're still in my eyes babe, the future's ours for waiting

Get On Board
02:44

Suicidal cement screams
I seen 'em all inside my dreams
I see them coming through my head
Make me wish I was dead
Ghosts chase silent foes
I never knew I'd get aboard
Cover me in ice
Til the edge og time
Can you see the stream, drowning in
The deep
Something so bad
Can you see the ship, sacrifice
Myself
Grab you instead
Get onboard
Painted child seldom seen
I've gone another way to be
Put the mark upon my head
Make me wish I'm dead
The servants never called
The dog's been put in chains
They can't hear you anymore
They've all gone straight
No matter what they say
I guess it's really sad
To never get across
I looked into the eyes
The same as before
But I just got lost
Get on board

Spectacle
02:54
|

|
You are a spectacle
You upon your pedestal
Electricity flows trough your veins
You forget why it was from where you came
The midnight sermon, the morning rain
You're touching down on earth again
Crashdown, crashdown
Into the light
You are the destiny
You are eternity
Children, how can you know
You've come so long ago
This lightway corridor
Flash lightening thunderstorm
Into the light

Crazy To The Bone
03:10
|

Baby, baby, baby, come home on the midnight train
I been so long from you I can't remember when
I need you, little girl, 'cause I'm leanng on the wicked ledge
No matter how I try to get you outa my head
Time's running in on me
I don't care about security
Please won't you come on home
'cause I'm crazy, crazy, crazy for you down to the bone
Baby, baby, baby, through the eye of a hurricane
That's how far I'd go to see you again
The mystery telephone caller's dead on the line
Tried to get a message to you but it's been all night
Baby, baby, baby, come home on the midnight train
I'll be waiting on the platform to get you in my arms again
I never through you mattered, mattered as much as you do
I never thought being alone was being without you

Castaways
03:01
|

|
Castaways, gypsies of the dawn
Angels out of darkness with
Nowhere to belong
Bound together, we've been cast
Into the storm
Castaways, children of the damned
Abandoned by the future and the
Past can't understand
You've never had a change since
Your journey began
Castaways, misfits out of time
Tomorrow it won't matter and
Yesterday's behind
You won't live forever, you've got
Tombstones in your eyes

Jane

Jane, why did you go
Oh jane, why did you go
You left me here
And went back home
Jane, what took so long
Oh jane, what took so long
What seemed so right
Turned out so wrong
Jane, will you ever come back
Oh jane, will you ever come back
What made you leave
What hurt so bad
Jane

Down the Road
03:08
|

|
Stranded in the storm trying to see through the rain
Looks like my life's coming 'round again
I wouldn't stop it now even if I thought I could
I was one of the remnants from a burned out scene
Trying to recover from the years between
What they didn't want then is what they think they want now
Down the road, down the road
I can still remember being here a long time ago
I'd been pickin' up the pieces from another hard fall
Waitin' by the phone for an overseas call
They wanted my past and they wanted it now
I could sense it in the air, feel it in my veins
Something was coming to take me away
I'd been lost for so long, maybe it's the price we all pay
Down the road, down the road
I can still remember being here a long time ago
I looked in the mirror trying to see
What it was they had killed in me
And why can't I no longer believe
I wandered around and I swore by god
I would never give in no matter how hard they fought
I've waited too long to have it any other way
Down the road, down the road
I can still remember being here a long time ago

Pain for Pretty
04:26
|
|||
|
Smoke another cigarette, watch the rain
Put me on the outskirts of a mental train
What's done's been done, you can't change that
I couldn't make the window, I couldn't go back
Is there no getting free
Something's dying inside me
Pain for pretty can't you see
Changes... Oh, no, no
Watching the predictions, it looks like snow
I'd like to travel south but I can't go
December's on the crest, almost gone
Shadows on the pavement never looked so long
Maybe it's my attitude, I can't get straight
Take me like I am or throw me away
Trying to kill the dream that's inside me
I don't want to end up your casualty
