Driven by restrained desire
I want what I need
Shaking as her sex takes hold
I've lost all control

Drowning in a sea of rage
I taste the embrace
Helpless as it steals my soul
I've lost all control

We exist in a world where the fear of
Illusion is real
And we cling to the past to deny and confuse
The ideal
Once inside, we conceive and believe in a God
We can't feel

Destined by a fate so cruel
And drugged to delight
I'm laughing as the lies unfold
I've lost all control

Temptation
It never lets me down
Temptation
One foot in the ground
Temptation
You satisfy my soul
Temptation
I've lost all control

(Verse 1)
I'll be your dream, I'll be your wish I'll be your fantasy.
I'll be your hope, I'll be your love be everything that you need.
I love you more with every breath truly madly deeply do..
I will be strong I will be faithful 'cos I'm counting on a new beginning.
A reason for living. A deeper meaning.

(Chorus)
I want to stand with you on a mountain.
I want to bathe with you in the sea.
I want to lay like this forever.
Until the sky falls down on me...

(Verse 2)
And when the stars are shining brightly in the velvet sky,
I'll make a wish send it to heaven then make you want to cry..
The tears of joy for all the pleasure and the certainty.
That we're surrounded by the comfort and protection of..
The highest power. In lonely hours. The tears devour you..
I want to stand with you on a mountain,
I want to bathe with you in the sea.
I want to lay like this forever,
Until the sky falls down on me...

(Bridge)
Oh can't you see it baby?
You don't have to close your eyes 'cos it's standing right before you.
All that you need will surely come...

I'll be your dream I'll be your wish I'll be your fantasy.
I'll be your hope I'll be your love be everything that you need.
I'll love you more with every breath truly madly deeply do...

(Chorus)

I want to stand with you on a mountain....

Well you've got something on your mind
which isn't always the easiest thought to find
oh but the concept you pursue
wishing only that I knew
what you knew

I swear everywhere I go
I feel your presence there
as if to let me know
it's only my heart that you desire
wrapped in tears and cellophane
kisses and barbed wire

well I'm afraid to look
I can see you staring feel you set the hook
it's not that I don't find you beautiful at times
I'm not sure what you've heard
but perhaps you've misinterpreted my words
now that I decorate your shrine
valentine
your pleasure's mine

deluded by your constant dreaming
reality's a nightmare too
you've got me so afraid of sleeping
for fear that I might dream of you

all those darling things you say (all those darling things you say)
like "hey could you lend me your soul just for the day?"
and promise you'll give it back to me
once you've exorcised and set my spirit free
blaming the voices that you hear
on all the precious words I've whispered in your ear

I'm afraid to look
I can see you staring
feel you set the hook
it's not that I don't find you beautiful at times
not sure what you've heard
but perhaps you've misinterpreted my words
now that I decorate your shrine
valentine
concubine
your pleasure's mine

It's alright / to tell me / what you think / about me
I won't try / to argue / or hold it / against you
I know that / you're leaving / you must have / your reasons
The season / is calling / and your pictures / are falling down

The steps that / I retrace / a sad look / on your face
The timing / and structure / did you hear / he fucked her?
A day late / a buck short / I'm writing / the report
I'm losing / and failing / when I move / I'm flailing now

And it's happened once again
I'll turn to a friend
Someone that understands
Sees through the master plan

But everybody's gone
And I've been here for too long
To face this on my own
Well I guess this is growing up

Well I guess this is growing up

And maybe / I'll see you / at a movie / sneak preview
You'll show up / and walk by / on the arm / of that guy
And I'll smile / and you'll wave / we'll pretend / it's okay
The charade / it won't last / when he's gone / I won't come back

And it's happened once again
I'll turn to a friend
Someone that understands
And sees through the master plan

But everybody's gone
And you've been here for too long
To face this on your own
Well I guess this is growing up

Well, I guess this is growing up [4x]
Well, I guess this is growing up

What I've kept with me And what I've thrown away
And where the hell I've ended up
On this glary random day
And the things I really cared about
Just left along the way
Being too pent up and proud

Woke up way too late
Feelin' hung over and old
The sun was shining bright
And I walked barefoot down the road
Started thinkin' 'bout my old man
It seems that all men, wanna get in a car and go
Anywhere

(Chorus)
Here I stand, sad and free
I can't cry, and I can't see
What I've done
Oh God, what have I done?

Don't you know I'm numb and
Well, I can't feel a thing at all
'Cause it's all smiles and business these days
And I'm indifferent to the loss
I have faith that there's a soul somewhere
That's leadin' me around
I wonder if she knows which way is down.

(Chorus)

And I poured my heart out
I poured my heart out
It evaporated-see?

Blind man on a canyon's edge of a panoramic scene
Or maybe I'm a kite that's flyin' high and random
Danglin' on a string
Or slumped over in a vacant room
Head on a strangers knee
I'm sure back home, they think I've lost my mind

(Chorus)

That's great, it starts with an earthquake, birds and snakes, an aeroplane
Lenny Bruce is not afraid.
Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn
world serves its own needs, regardless of your own needs.
Feed it up a knock, speed, grunt no, strength no.
Ladder structure clatter with fear of height, down height.
Wire in a fire, represent the seven games in
a government for hire and a combat site.
Left her, wasn't coming in a hurry with
the furies breathing down your neck.
Team by team reporters baffled, trump, tethered crop.
Look at that low plane! Fine then.
Uh oh, overflow, population, common group, but it'll do.
Save yourself, serve yourself.
World serves its own needs, listen to your heart bleed.
Tell me with the rapture and the reverent in the right.
You vitriolic, patriotic, slam, fight, bright
light, feeling pretty psyched.

It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine.

Six o'clock - TV hour.
Don't get caught in foreign tower.
Slash and burn, return, listen to yourself churn.
Lock him in uniform and book burning, blood letting.
Every motive escalate. Automotive incinerate.
Light a candle, light a motive.
Step down, step down. Watch a heel crush, crush.
Uh oh, this means no fear - cavalier.
Renegade and steer clear!
A tournament, a tournament, a tournament of lies.
Offer me solutions, offer me alternatives and I decline.

It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine.

The other night I tripped a nice continental drift divide.
Mount St. Edelite. Leonard Bernstein.
Leonid Breshnev, Lenny Bruce and Lester Bangs.
Birthday party, cheesecake, jelly bean, boom!
You symbiotic, patriotic, slam, but neck, right? Right.

It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine...

(It's time I had some time alone)

Here, I need your help
Deliver me from myself
Take me where I'm wanted
Or make me someone else
Never mind what they said
Forget about the things you read
It was something you'll never know
Never see, never understand
Just leave it now if you can
Tell me
When they come for you
Who will there be to speak
And when they come for you
Who will there be left to speak for you?
The final solution's back in style
We are the ones letting it ride
I never knew we were so blind
Amnesia in comfort, so unkind
Tell me
When they come for you
Who will there be to speak
And when they come for you
Who will there be left to speak for you?

The winter here's cold and bitter
It's chilled us to the bone
We haven't seen the sun for weeks
Too long, to far from home
I feel just like I'm sinking
And I claw for solid ground
I'm pulled down by the undertow
I never thought I could feel so low
Oh darkness, I feel like letting go

If all of the strength, and all of the
courage come and lift me from this place
I know I can love you much better than this
Full of grace, full of grace

"It's better this way" I said
Having seen this place before
Where everything we say and do
Hurts us all the more
It's just that we stay too long
In the same old sickly skin
I'm pulled down by the undertow
I never thought I could feel so low
Oh darkness, I feel like letting go

If all of the strength, and all of the
courage come and lift me from this place
I know I can love you much better than this
Full of grace, full of grace

I know I can love you much better than this
"It's better this way...."

Nothing's so loud
As hearing when we lie
The truth is not kind
And you've said neither am I
But the air outside so soft
Is saying everything everything

All I want is to feel this way
to be this close, to feel the same
All I want is to feel this way
the evening speaks, I feel it say...

Nothing's so cold
As closing the heart when all we need
Is to free the soul
But we wouldn't be that brave I know
And the air outside so soft, confessing everything
Everything

And it won't matter now
Whatever happens to me
Though the air speaks of all we'll never be
It won't trouble me

And it feels so close
Let it take me in
Let it hold me so
I can feel it say...

It's daybreak
And you are asleep
I can hear you breathe now
Your breath is deep

But before I go
I look at you one last time
I can hear a heartbeat
Is it yours or is it mine?

I look at your lips
I know how soft they can be
Did they know what they wanted
The times they kissed me?

And your hands
That I held in mine
Now they're reposing on the pillow
Will they ever miss me sometime?

I'll remember you
You will be there in my heart
I'll remember you
And that is all that I can do
But I'll remember

Your eyes
That always make me shiver
Now they are closed
They just sometimes twitch a little

And your body
I could hold for an hour
It sent me to Heaven
With its heat and power

I'll remember you
You will be there in my heart
I'll remember you
And that is all that I can do
But I'll remember

Electricity
eye to eye
Hey do I know you?
I can't speak
Stripped my senses
on the spot
I've never been defenseless
I can't even make sense of this
You speak and I don't hear a word

What would happen if we kissed?
Would your tongue slip past my lips?
Would you run away?
Would you stay?
Or would I melt into you?
Mouth to mouth
lust to lust
Spontaneously combust

Room is spinning
out of control
You act like you didn't notice
brushed my hand
Forbidden fruit
ring on my finger
Your such a moral, moral man
Would you throw it away?-- A question
Will I pretend I'm innocent?

What would happen if we kissed?
Would your tongue slip past my lips?
Would you run away?
Would you stay?
Or would I melt into you?
Mouth to mouth
lust to lust
Spontaneously combust...
What would happen if we kissed?

Ah...

I struggle with myself again
Quickly the walls are crumblin'
Don't know if I can turn away

What would happen if we kissed?
Would your tongue slip past my lips?
Would you run away?
Would you stay?
Or would I melt into you?
Mouth to mouth
If we kissed...
Would your tongue slip past my lips?
Would you run away?
Would you stay?
Or would I melt into you?
Mouth to mouth
If we kissed......oooooooo ahhhhh
If we kissed......oooooooo ohhhhh
ooooo ahhhh

(Verse 1)
Anytime I need to see your face I just close my eyes
And I am taken to a place
Where your crystal minds and magenta feelings
Take up shelter in the base of my spine
Sweet like a chica cherry cola
I don't need to try to explain
I just hold on tight and If it happens again
I may move so slightly to the arms
And the lips and the face
Of The Human Cannonball that
I need to I want to...

(Bridge)
Come stand a little bit closer
Breathe in and get a bit higher
You'll never know what hit you when
I get to you

(Chorus)
Ooh I want you, I don't know if I need you but
Ooh I'd die to find out
Ooh I want you, I don't know if I need you but
Ooh I'd die to find out

(Verse 2)
I'm the kind of person who endorses a deep commitment
Getting comfy getting perfect is what I live for
But a look and then a smell of perfume
It's like I'm down on the floor
And I don't know what I'm in for
Conversation has a time and place in the interaction
Of a lover and a mate but the time of talking
Using symbols, using words can be likened
To a deep sea diver who is swimming with a raincoat

(Bridge)

(Chorus)

Ooh, ahh...
Ooh, ahh...

(Verse 1)

(Chorus)

So can we find out?

(Chorus x2)

You give your hand to me
And then you say hello
And I can hardly speak
My heart is beating so
And anyone can tell
You think you know me well
But you don't know me

No you don't know the one
Who dreams of you at night
And longs to kiss your lips
Longs to hold you tight
Oh I am just a friend
That's all I've ever been
Cause you don't know me

I never knew the art of making love
No my heart aches with love for you
Afraid and shy I let my chance go by
The chance that you might love me too

You give your hand to me
And then you say goodbye
I watch you walk away beside the lucky guy
Oh you will never know
The one who loves you so
Well you don't know me

You give your hand to me
And then you say goodbye
I watch you walk away beside the lucky guy
Oh you will never know
The one who loves you so
Cause you don't know me
Oh no you don't know me
OOhh...you don't know me

It felt like springtime on this February morning
In the courtyard birds were singing your praise
I'm still recalling things you said to make me feel alright
I carried them with me today, Now

(Chorus)
As I lay me down to sleep
This I pray
That you will hold me dear
Though I'm far away
I'll whisper your name into the sky
And I will wake up happy

I wonder why I feel so high
Though I am not above the sorrow
Heavy hearted
Till you call my name
And it sounds like church bells
Or the whistle of a train
On a summer evening
I'll run to meet you
Barefoot barely breathing

(Chorus)

It's not too near for me
Like a flower I need the rain
Though it's not clear to me
Every season has its change
And I will see you
When the sun comes out again

(Chorus)

We'll be singing
When we're winning
We'll be singing

I get knocked down
But I get up again
You're never going to keep me down

Pissing the night away

He drinks a whisky drink
He drinks a vodka drink
He drinks a lager drink
He drinks a cider drink
He sings the songs that remind him
Of the good times
He sings the songs that remind him
Of the better times

"Oh Danny Boy, Danny Boy..."

I get knocked down
But I get up again
You're never going to keep me down

Pissing the night away

He drinks a whisky drink
He drinks a vodka drink
He drinks a lager drink
He drinks a cider drink
He sings the songs that remind him
Of the good times
He sings the songs that remind him
Of the better times

"Don't cry for me
Next door neighbour..."

I get knocked down
But I get up again
You're never going to keep me down

We'll be singing
When we're wining
We'll be singing

I've got money in my pocket
I like the color of my hair
I've got a friend who loves me
Got a house, I've got a car
I've got a good mother
And her voice is what keeps me here

(Chorus)
Feet on ground
Heart in hand
Facing forward
Be yourself
I've, I've never wanted anything
No I've, no I've, I've never wanted anything
So bad......so bad

Cardboard masks of all the people I've been
Thrown out with all the rusted, tangled,
dented, God damn miseries
You could say I'm hard to hold
But if you knew me you'd know
I've got a good father
And his strength is what makes me cry

Feet on ground
Heart in hand
Facing forward
Be yourself
I've, I've never wanted anything
No I've, no I've, I've never wanted anything so bad

Heat in hand
Feet on ground
Facing forward
Be yourself
Just be yourself
Just be yourself

Feet on ground
Heart in hand
Feet on ground
Heart in hand

Come, why you look so sad?
The tears are in your eyes, come on and come to me now
Don't be ashamed to cry, let me see you through
Cause I've seen the dark side too
When the night falls on you, you don't know what to do
Nothing you confess could make me love you less

I'll stand by you, I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you, I'll stand by you

So, if you're mad get mad
Don't hold it all inside, come on and talk to me now
Hey, what you got to hide? I get angry too
I'm a lot like you
When you're standing at the crossroads
Don't know which path to choose
Let me come along, cause even if you're wrong

I'll stand by you, I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you, I'll stand by you

Take me in until your darkest hour,
and I'll never desert you
I'll stand by you
And when, when the night falls on you baby
You'll feel it all along, you won't be on your own

I'll stand by you, I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you, I'll stand by you

Take me in until your darkest hour,
and I'll never desert you
I'll stand by you, I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you, I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you, I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you, I'll stand by you
