THE GHOST IN YOU

a man in my shoes runs a light
and all the papers lied tonight
but falling over you 
is the news of the day
angels fall like rain
and love...is all of heaven away

inside you the time moves
and she don't fade 
the ghost in you 
she don't fade
inside you the time moves
and she don't fade

a race is on, i'm on your side
and here in you my engines die
i'm in a mood for you
or running away
stars come down in you
and love...you can't give it away

inside you the time moves
and she don't fade 
the ghost in you 
she don't fade
inside you the time moves
and she don't fade

don't you go 
it makes no sense
when all your talk and supermen
just take away the time
and get in the way
ain't it just like rain
and love...is only heaven away

inside you the time moves
and she don't fade 
the ghost in you 
she don't fade
inside you the time moves
and she don't fade
the ghost in you, she don't fade

inside you the time moves
and she don't fade 
the ghost in you 
she don't fade

HERE COME COWBOYS

there are colors flashing
people wearing stars and stuff
there are engines crashing
there's a way to turn it off

it gets so hard at times
to take it serious
it really gets to be a drag 
when all we really need is love

here come cowboys
here to save us all
here come cowboys
there so well inside the law
here come cowboys
there no fun at all
here come cowboys

you've been waiting so long
you've been waiting for today
don't you put yourself on
don't you take yourself away

it gets so hard at times
to take it serious
it really gets to be a drag 
when all we really need is love

here come cowboys
here to save us all
here come cowboys
there so well inside the law
here come cowboys
there no fun at all
here come cowboys

it gets so hard at times
to take it serious
it really gets to be a drag 
when all we really need is love

here come cowboys
here to save us all
here come cowboys
there so well inside the law
here come cowboys
there no fun at all
here come cowboys

HEAVEN

heaven
is the whole of the heart
and heaven don't tear you apart
yeah heaven
is the whole of the heart
and heaven don't tear you apart

there's too many kings
wanna tear you down
and a world at the window
gone underground
there's a hole in the wky where the 
sun don't shine
and a clock on the wall
and it counts my time

and heaven
is the whole of the heart
and heaven don't tear you apart
yeah heaven
is the whole of the heart
and heaven don't tear you apart

there's a song on the air
with a love-you-line
and a face in a glass
and it looks like mine
and i'm standing on ice when i say
that i don't hear planes
and i scream at the fools
wanna jump my train

and heaven
is the whole of the heart
and heaven don't tear you apart
yeah heaven
is the whole of the heart
and heaven don't tear you apart
yeah heaven
ah heaven
yeah heaven

HEARTBEAT

she's a heartbeat
yeah, she's a heartbeat
she's a door at the end of a dead end street
she's a heartbeat
and footsteps
i hear her footsteps
here comes rumors and lies
here comes my life of crime
i hear footsteps

when the music goes down
and the traffic is stopped
and nobody talks at all
when they turn up the town
i hear a heartbeat
and i've shut all the shades
and the radio stops
and nobody moves at all
when the city's asleep
i hear a heartbeat
i hear a heartbeat

in the shadows
out in the shadows
it's like walking on glass
it's the end of the show
in the shadows
and sweet dreams
she sells you sweet dreams
it's like movies and trash
where there's always a girl
and she's sweet dreams

when the music goes down
and the traffic is stopped
and nobody talks at all
when they turn up the town
i hear a heartbeat
and i've shut all the shades
and the radio stops
and nobody moves at all
when the city's asleep
i hear a heartbeat
i hear a heartbeat

heartbeat
i hear a heartbeat
when they turn up the town
i hear a heartbeat
heartbeat
i hear a heartbeat
when the music goes down
i hear a heartbeat
heartbeat

she's a heartbeat
yeah, she's a heartbeat
she's a door at the end of a dead end street
she's a heartbeat
and sweet dreams
she sells you sweet dreams
it's like movies and trash
where there's always a girl
and she's sweet dreams

when the music goes down
and the traffic is stopped
and nobody talks at all
when they turn up the town
i hear a heartbeat
and i've shut all the shades
and the radio stops
and nobody moves at all
when the city's asleep
i hear a heartbeat

heartbeat
i hear a heartbeat
when they turn up the town
i hear a heartbeat
heartbeat
i hear a heartbeat
when the music goes down
i hear a heartbeat
heartbeat

MY TIME

you've got rain in your eyes
and a head full of stars
all the tears you can hold in your hand
and a room full of sleep
and a promise to keep
isn't it just like love

in a world made of law
you're just losing the game
they give you these words
but they've taken your name
now you're out in the cold
now ain't that a shame
isn't it just like love

you can have anything 
you can hold in your hand
and a hero is always alone
at the end of the day
it's a price that you pay
with your pieces of love
all your pieces of love

and it's my time 
to turn you around
and it's my time
to hold out a hand
and it's my time
to turn on a light for you
my time
it's my time

there's a world at the door
with her heart in her sleeve
and there's nowhere to turn 
there is you
there's a deal to be made
and a price to be paid
isn't it just like love

you can have anything 
you can hold in your hand
and a hero is always alone
at the end of the day
it's a price that you pay
with your pieces of love
all your pieces of love

and it's my time 
to turn you around
and it's my time
to hold out a hand
and it's my time
to turn on a light for you
my time
it's my time

so we stand in the dark
and the sun never shows
and you're whispering secrets
that everyone knows
so we know that they told you
they just want to hold you
use you 
and take you
and lose you
and fake you

you have everything 
you can hold in your hand
but a hero is always alone
at the end of the day
it's a price that you pay
with your pieces of love
all your pieces of love

it's my time 
to turn you around
and it's my time
to hold out a hand
and it's my time
to turn on a light for you
my time
it's my time

you can have anything 
you can hold in your hand
and a hero is always alone
at the end of the day
it's a price that you pay
with your pieces of love
all your pieces of love

it's my time 
to turn you around
and it's my time
to hold out a hand
and it's my time
to turn on a light for you
my time
it's my time

LIKE A STRANGER

nothing goes on today
she says
all of our running 'round
to get away
yes and it's complicated
some now 
and some later
one of the girls
you'd have to say

and you talk like a stranger
you hurt for a change
and they ease you 
and cool you
and love you so strange
and you talk like a stranger
you hurt for a change
and they ease you 
and cool you
and love you so strange yeah

oh when she's lonely
she says
out of a face that tells you
"take me home"
yes and she keeps on talking
it's no blind and
sleep walking
one of the girls
you'd have to say

and you talk like a stranger
you hurt for a change
and they ease you 
and cool you
and love you so strange
and you talk like a stranger
you hurt for a change
and they ease you 
and cool you
and love you so strange yeah

and you talk like a stranger
you hurt for a change
and they ease you 
and cool you
and love you so strange
and you talk like a stranger
you hurt for a change
and they ease you 
and cool you
and love you so strange
and you talk like a stranger
you talk like a stranger
today

ALICE'S HOUSE

in the house where alice lives
alice's
it's a mess of souveniers
there to remind
telling the time
in the garden where you go
flowers die
people say it's cold out there
you disagree
she's telling me

come and spend the day at alice's house
have some time away at alice's house
write a note saying please don't go
please don't go

in the softest room you sing
without a key
the butler is serving tea
wearing a shirt without any sleeves

come and spend the day at alice's house
have some time away at alice's house
write a note saying please don't go
please don't go

in the bedroom down the hall
your secrets sleep
it is always late at night
won't you stay?
why don't you stay?
in the house where alice lives
alice's
it's a mess of souveniers
there to remind you
telling the time

come and spend the day at alice's house
have some time away at alice's house
write a note saying please don't go
please don't go

alice's house
alice's house
alice's house
alice's house

HIGHWIRE DAYS

they tore up our kisses and ran
on tomorrow's pages
and the lions have eaten the lamb
on tomorrow's pages
there's a day of your life in your hands
full of people you don't understand

in my highwire days
i can see all the way
i see through the games you play
in my highwire days

they pushed all the buttons and things
on tomorrow's pages
and the siren do nothing but sing
on tomorrow's pages
and you put on your prettiest face
and you wait for the news that we made

in my highwire days
i can see all the way
i see through the games you play
in my highwire days

our dreams have all gone up on sale
on tomorrow's pages
and we paid for the cross and the nails
on tomorrow's pages
and we put on our prettiest face
and we wait for the news that we made

in my highwire days
i can see all the way
i see through the games we play
in my highwire days

in my highwire days
i can see all the way
i see through the games we play
in my highwire days
