1) To The Moon & Back

 She's taking her time making up the reasons
To justify all the hurt inside
Guess she knows from the smiles and the look in their eyes
Everyone's got a theory about the bitter one
They're saying, "Mamma never loved her much"
And, "Daddy never keeps in touch
That's why she shies away from human affection"
But somewhere in a private place
She packs her bags for outer space
And now she's waiting for the right kind of pilot to come
And she'll say to him

I would fly you to the moon & back if you'll...
If you'll be my baby
Got a ticket for a world where we belong
So would you be my baby?

She can't remember a time when she felt needed
If love was red than she was color blind
All her friends they've been tried for treason
And crimes that were never defined
She's saying, "Love is like a barren place,
And reaching out for human faith
Is like a journey I just don't have a map for"
So baby's gonna to take a dive and
Push the shift to overdrive
Send a signal that she's hanging
All her hopes on the stars
What a pleasent dream

I would fly you to the moon & back if you'll...
If you'll be my baby
Got a ticket for a world where we belong
So would you be my baby?


2) I Want You

 Any time I need to see your face,
I just close my eyes
And I am taken to a place where your crystal mind and
Magenta feelings take up shelter in the base of my spine
Sweet like a chic-a-cherry cola

I don't need to try to explain;
I just hold on tight
And if it happens again, I might move so slightly
To the arms and the lips and the face of the human cannonball
That I need to, I want to

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

Ooh, I want you
I don't know if I need you
But, ohh, I'd die to find out

I'm the kind of person who endorces a deep commitment
Getting comfy getting perfect is what I live for
But a look and 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 swiming with a raincoat

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

Ooh, I want you
I don't know if I need you
But, ohh, I'd die to find out

Any time I need to see your face,
I just close my eyes
And I am taken to a place where your crystal mind and
Magenta feelings take up shelter in the base of my spine
Sweet like a chic-a-cherry cola

I don't need to try to explain;
I just hold on tight
And if it happens again, I might move so slightly
To the arms and the lips and the face of the human cannonball
That I need to, I want to

Ooh, I want you
I don't know if I need you
But, ohh, I'd die to find out
Ooh, I want you
I don't know if I need you
But, ohh, I'd die to find out
So can we find out?


3) Truly Madly Deeply

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 breathe
Truly, madly, deeply do
I will be strong I will be faithful 'cause I'm counting on

A new begining
A reason for living
A deeper meaning

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

And when the stars are shining brightly in the velvet sky,
I'll make a wish to send it to heaven
Then make you want to cry
The tears of joy for all the pleasure in 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

Oh can you see it baby?
You don't have to close your eyes
'Cause it's standing right there before you
All that you need will surely some

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 breathe
Truly, madly, deeply do

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


4) Tears Of Pearls

 And we stare each other down like victims in the grind
Probing all the weakness and hurt still left behind and we cry
The tears of pearls
We do it, Oh we do it,

Is love really the tragedy the way you might describe?
Or would a thousand lovers still leave you cold inside?
Make you cry...
These tears of pearl

All these mixed emotions we kept locked away like stolen pearls
Stolen pearl devotions we kept locked away from all the world

Your kisses are like pearls, so different and so rare
But anger stole the jewels away and love has left you bare,
Made you cry...
These tears of pearls

Well I could be the tired joker pour my heart to get you in
Sacrifice my happiness just so I could win
Maybe cry...
These tears of pearls

All these mixed emotions we kept locked away like stolen pearls
Stolen pearl devotions we kept locked away from all the world

We twist and turn where angels burn
Like fallen soldiers we will learn
That once forgotten, twice removed
Love will be the death...
The death of you

All these mixed emotions we kept locked away like stolen pearls
Stolen pearl devotions we kept locked away from all the world


5) Universe

Well I'd like to take you as I find you
Imagine our clothes are on the floor
Feel my caress so soft and gentle
So delicate you cry for more
But you know baby
You know baby does it right
And you know baby does it right

Universe inside of your heart
You gotta let me know so you can be free baby
You wanted it so much, and now that it's over
You don't know what you want

Put time in a capsule
Two minds consensual
Entwined to perfection
If we could...

Cuddle up close
Lay on my chest now
Listen my heart beat's coming down
If you get tired you close your eyes now
When you wake up I won't be found
'Cause I know baby
I know you're the nervous kind
With so much going on in your mind

Universe inside of your heart
You gotta let me know so you can be free baby
You wanted it so much, and now that it's over
You don't know what you want

But let me tell you that, this time,
I'm gonna make you mine
(I won't let you go)
'Cause I know, this time
I'm gonna make sure I look out for for me

'Cause you know baby
Well you know baby does it right
And you know baby does it right
You will only end up lost in loneliness
And wake up with the words already on your lips
So I'll let you go, baby
So I'll let you go...

Universe inside of your heart
You gotta let me know so you can be free baby
You wanted it so much, and now that it's over
You don't know what you want


6) Carry On Dancing

The moonlight...
Shines down intersteller beams
And the groove tonight
Is something more than you've ever seen
The stars and planets taking shape
A stolen kiss has come to late

In the moonlight
Carry on, keep romancing,
Cary on, carry on dancing
In the moonlight
Carry on, keep romancing,
Carry on, carry on dancing

You're never safe 'till you see the dawn
And if the clock strikes past midnight
The hope is gone
To move under...

The moonlight
Carry on, keep romancing,
Cary on, carry on dancing
In the moonlight
Carry on, keep romancing,
Carry on, carry on dancing

...Move. Closer. Passion. Stronger

There's a magic only two can tell
In the dark night
Ultra violet is a wicked spell
The stars and planets taking shape
A stolen kiss has come to late

In the moonlight
Carry on, keep romancing,
Cary on, carry on dancing
In the moonlight
Carry on, keep romancing,
Carry on, carry on dancing

Moving on... Moving all night


7) Violet

If there's a way that you could be everything you want to be,
Would you complain that it too easy?
Just like the games with you and me
A resolution hard to see,
But that's O.K. 'cause I don't see things that are plain to see

I've got a dream to take you over
Exploding like a supernova
I'm gonna crash into your world
And that's no lie

You want to give ecstasy delivered with certainty
But you're afraid that the pleasure won't be needed
In a way, we're the same two people looking out to sea
For a wave that would carry all our fantasies

If there's a way to infiltrate you
Sway your mind and complicate you
I'm gonna crash into your world
And that's no lie

Let your body move into the doorway
To the disco inside your head (Violet)
Wear a color that you want to cling to
The color inside your heart (Violet)

Contemplate jealousy intermixed with urgency
A million things take a damned good shot at you and me

If there's a way to infiltrate you
Sway your mind and complicate you
I'm gonna crash into your world
And that's no lie

Let your body move into the doorway
To the disco inside your head (Violet)
Wear a color that you want to cling to
The color inside your heart (Violet)

I'm going to take you
I'll do my best to break you
I'm gonna crash into your world
And that's no lie

Common sence is a game many people don't like to play
But give it in and he moment takes you either way

I've got a dream to take you over
Exploding like a supernova
I'm gonna crash into your world
And that's no lie

Let your body move into the doorway
To the disco inside your head (Violet)
Wear a color that you want to cling to
The color inside your heart (Violet)

If there's a way that you could be everything you want to be,
Would you complain that it too easy?
In a way, we're the same two people looking out to sea
For a wave that would carry all our fantasies


8) Break Me Shake Me

I never thought I'd change my opinion again
But you moved me in a way that I've never known
You moved my in a way that I've never known

But straight away you just moved into position again
You abused me in a way that I've never known
You abused me in a way that I've never known

So break me shake me hate me take me over
When the madness stops then you will be alone
Just break me shake me hate me take me over
When the madness stops you will be alone

So you're the kind who deals with the games in the mind
Well you confuse me in a way that I've never known
You confuse me in a way that I've never known

So break me shake me hate me take me over
When the madness stops then you will be alone
Just break me shake me hate me take me over
When the madness stops you will be alone

She says, "I can help you, but what do you say?"
But it's not free baby, you'll have to pay
You keep me contemplating, that your soul is slowly fading

God don't you know I live with a ton of regret?
'Cause I used to move you in a way that you've never known
But then I accused you in a way that I've never known...

So break me shake me hate me take me over
When the madness stops then you will be alone
Just break me shake me hate me take me over
When the madness stops you will be alone

Listen, baby
You'll be, you'll be alone

Break me shake me hate me take me make me
Fake me break me shake me hate me take me
Break me


9) A Thousand Words

 We stumble in a tangled web, decaying friendships almost dead
And hide behind a mask of lies
We twist and turn and we avoid, all hope of salvage now devoid
I see the truth inside your eyes
So take all this noise into your brain and send it back again
I'll bear the cost, shed my skin, call you up and then...
I'll say a thousand words out loud

You could resurrect a thousand words to desieve me more and more
A thousand words will give the reason why I don't need you anymore

Time manipulates your heart, preconception torn apart
Begin to doubt my state of mind
But I won't go down on what I said
I won't retract conviction read
I may perplex, but I'm not blind
So take all this noise into your brain and send it back again
I'll bear the cost, shed my skin, call you up and then...
I'll say the words out loud

You could resurrect a thousand words to desieve me more and more
A thousand words will give the reason why I don't need you anymore

I'll say the words out loud. I'll say a thousand words or more

Manipulate. Fabrication. Conversation. Annihilation
I'll say a thousand words or more
Damnation. Frustration. Elevation. Procreation
I'll say a thousand words or more

You could resurrect a thousand words to desieve me more and more
A thousand words will give the reason why I don't need you anymore


10) Promises

Well don't you know I need a little indulgence?
Listen to the hunter becoming hunted
Every day there's a million advances
Don't be too forceful you'll ruin your chances
Well don't yuo know that time is a broken glass
That splinters against the wall?
But the picture is coming back now baby,
And I want to take it all

Don't go making all these problems you know you cannot keep
There's a time to play a king and a time to be a thief
'Cause if you're making all these promises you know you cannot keep
You know time will be the theif and your fallen king will end up alone

So let your body move a little bit closer
Silent like the sound proceding a cyclone
Don't you know that powerful thinking
Can be a force you don't want to relinquish?
Well don't you know that,
They say that hanging on will justify the wait?
But patience and elated wisdom don't share a common phase

Don't go making all these problems you know you cannot keep
There's a time to play a king and a time to be a thief
'Cause if you're making all these promises you know you cannot keep
You know time will be the theif and your fallen king will end up alone

Well, I'm only hanging on for what goes down
I'm floating high and my feet don't touch the ground
I'd take advantage but I can't see through this charade
So don't you, don't go make it harder than hell
'Cause when it comes down to the making
You beter be damned sure you can make it
Hey baby

Don't go making all these problems you know you cannot keep
There's a time to play a king and a time to be a thief
'Cause if you're making all these promises you know you cannot keep
You know time will be the theif and your fallen king will end up alone

Time will be the thief and your fallen king will end up...
A fool, a fool, a lonely sorry fool
Oh baby, 'cause I told you baby


11) Santa Monica

In Santa Monica in the winter time,
The lazy streets so undemanding
I walk into the croud
In santa Monica, you get yur coffee from
The coolest places on the promenade
Where people dress just so
Beauty so unavoidable, everywhere you turn
It's there
I sit and wonder what am I doing here?

But on the telephone line I am anyone
I am anything I want to be
I could be a super model or Norman Mailer
And you wouldn't know the difference
Or would you?
In Santa Monica, all the people got modern names
Like Jake or Mandy
And modern bodies too
In Santa Monica, on the boulevard,
You'll have to dodge those in-line skaters
Or they'll knock you down
I never felt so lonely,
Never felt so out of place
I never wanted something more than this

But on the telephone line I am anyone
I am anything I want to be
I could be a super model or Norman Mailer
And you wouldn't know the difference
On the telephone line, I am any height
I am any age I want to be
I could be a caped crusader, or space invader
And you wouldn't know the difference
Or would you?



B-SIDE SONGS

All Around Me

Well you know every time I look at that expression printed on the page I think I hear you
Whispering the magic and the compliments I need so badly
So baby come on, oh, so baby come on
Now I've been running circles around the notion that you'll find me baby
One day maybe
But all the psychic powers of suggestion I've been sending your way
So can't you hear me say?

I want your arms all around me
I want your face, yeah, all around me
I want your perfume all around me
I like the way you move and do the funky groove

All around me I want you, all around me I need you
I want your arms all around me
I want your face, yeah, all around me
I want your perfume all around me
I like the way you move and do the funky groove

Like a cold chardonnay chilled for a day
Your smooth and crisp and on display
Like Cartier, Armani, like TAG, Gucci, Versace
In the middle of the night your a kiss so long
You're the only good thing when all is wrong
You're a magic time reversal clock
You're the fries on the side with a cherry on top
You're sleek, velvet, gold lame
Patent leather, enchante
You're a legend, you're a glamour queen
God I'm running out of words but you know what I mean

All around me I want you, all around me I need you
All around me I want you, all around me, so can't you hear me say?
I want your arms all around me
I want your face, yeah, all around me
I want your perfume all around me
I like the way you move and do the funky groove

I want your arms all around me
I want your face, yeah, all around me
I want your perfume all around me
I like the way you move and do the funky groove

So slide into your Jaguar, or Porsche baby, there you are
Well chop chop darling, au revior
Pick your things up, your a star
Oh yes, yes you are darling
Thats right. Thats right now.


Fire Inside The Man

Woman I need your guiding hand
show me the way to the promised land
the fever that burns in my heart
your the fire inside the man
yes you are.

Whenever I feel like just giving up
whenever my dreams just fade away
I just return to my heart 'cause I know that I'll find you there
yes I will.

And when the world is closing in
you come save me once again.

'Cause Woman I need your guiding hand
show me the way to the promised land
the fever that burns in my heart
your the fire inside the man
yes you are.

Well, there's never been a boy, who's luckier
there's never been more grateful man
And although I don't show it and I
I know what I've got with you
yes I do.

'Cause Woman I need your guiding hand, show me the way to the promised land
the fever that burns in my heart
your the fire inside the man
yes you are.

And if there's a storm that's close at hand
you'll push it away, you'll understand
And I'll do anything
just to please you
I'll do anything just to know that I can hold on to you.

Whenever I feel like just giving up
whenever my dreams just fade away
I just return to my heart 'cause I know that I'll find you there
yes I will.

'Cause woman I need it
woman I need it
woman I need it
I need it
I need your guiding hand.

Woman I need your guiding hand

the fever that burns in my heart
your the fire inside the man
yes you are.

'Cause Woman I need your guiding hand
show me the way to the promised land
the fever that burns in my heart
your the fire inside the man
yes you are.

You are.


I'll Bet He Was Cool

You know every once in a while
I shoot the breeze I spend my time
I talk about silly things
I like to talk about Jesus Christ
Cos I wonder what would happen if He passed you by
Would you be scared?
Would you believe in him?
Would you bust your asses to get him institutionalised?
Well, I bet he'd be cool
I bet He be damn good looking
I bet that He smelt divine
I'm not talking about Calvin Klein's Obsession
Just one of those people smell good all the time
There's no reason why
What would He wear
Would He wear Tommy Hilfiger?
Or prefer Urban Outfitted?
I don't think so
Well, I bet He liked Gaultier
But you'd never find him in it
I bet He liked Gaultier
Lord I need your protection spend some time in my direction
I need your protection spend some time in my direction
I need your protection spend some time in my direction
You know every once and a while
I shoot the breeze I spend my time
I talk about silly things
And tonight I'd like to talk to you about Jesus Christ
'Cos I wonder how we'd deal if He just passed you by
I bet he'd be a star
I bet my star wars figures He would be a movie star
A Quentin Tarantino next-big-thing
Prima donna, then he'd appear on Oprah
You know what? I don't think so
Could you imagine him hanging Piccadilly Circus
Time Square, the walk of fame
At Christies He could easily become a regular
D'you know what? I don't think so
I bet my speeder bike he'd turn his back on all of that
Lord I need your protection spend some time in my direction
I need your protection spend some time in my direction
I need your protection spend some time in my direction
Some people have just got it
You know like standing next to Elvis Presley
Well then multiply that feeling by 1 million and you know what I'm talking about
Well I'll bet He was cool
Man I bet that cat was so damn good looking


Love Can Move You

Get me through the heart of the freeway
I got to see the lights up in New York city
I'm so close I think I can hear the sound of the taxi siren symphony
Don't you want to feel amazing?
Baby you know I do
You'll get back ten times what you give freely
Like my mamma told me

Love can move you take you deeper every time
Can make the darkest moments feel like heaven's come alive
Love can move you to a place inside your heart
Where you can fear no evil and acceptance is a natural part of life

Climb into the heart of the subway
Creepin' like a snake into New York city
I'm so close I think I can see those lights
Let the sun get closer to the ground
Don't you want to feel amazing?
Baby you know I do
You'll get back ten times what you give freely
Like my mamma told me

Love can move you take you deeper every time
Can make the darkest moments feel like heaven's come alive
Love can move you to a place inside your heart
Where you can fear no evil and acceptance is a natural part of life

It's about the one thing
It's about the one thing
About the kind of shoes your wearin'
About religion

And I breathe the love you've given
And I feel the love you've hidden
And though it's cold down here well I can honestly say
I can still stay

That love can move you
Love can move you, baby
Love can move you
That love can move you too child

Love can move you take you deeper every time
Can make the darkest moments feel like heaven's come alive
Love can move you to a place inside your heart
Where you can fear no evil and acceptance is a natural part

Love can move you take you deeper every time
Can make the darkest moments feel like heaven's come alive
Love can move you to a place inside your heart
Where you can fear no evil and acceptance is a natural part

And I breathe the love you've given
And I feel the love you've hidden
And though it's cold down here well I still, I still try

Love can move you
You know that love can move you too child
Love can move you
You know that love can move you

And I breathe the love you've given
And I feel the love you've hidden
It's cold down here but I still, I still say...


Memories Are Designed To Fade

I'd never let you down when you're in a fix
I'd come running when you call
That's my weakness baby
So connected are we

You get your kicks from the ghost of a memory
So busy turning away from reality baby
That you just won't let it go

But memories fade
Yeah they're designed that way

But you're so wrapped up in her you don't see straight
Watch her mangle the truth while you take the bait
So tell her can't you see?
Your just turning yourself inside out for no need

This thing you're using is worse then a photograph
It picks you up and it turns you inside out now baby
And it just won't let you go

But memories fade
Yeah they're designed that way

She doesn't love you anymore
Maybe she did long ago
You're just a slave to the grind that she grew tired of baby
So tell her can't you see?
You're just turning yourself inside out for no need

But memories fade
Cause they're designed that way

She doesn't love you anymore
Maybe she did long ago
You're just a slave to the grind that she grew tired of baby
So tell her can't you see?
You're just turning yourself
You're just turning yourself inside out for no need

You're just turning yourself inside out for no need


Mine

I wait in the darkness.
Frozen winds surround my face.
In the cover of darkness I can make believe it's you.
I feel you like the rain,
I feel you like a storm cloud building in my heart.
I wonder if you know the pain, to want the one thing you haven't got.

Just a twist in time ...and you could be mine
Just a sip of wine ...and you could be mine
Just a kiss devine

A hand brushes by my love.
A smile fuels a steel inferno
You don't have to die to leave my world.
Stand still and you've departed.
It seems I'm not on your mind and I'm wasting my time.
I'm just a fool to believe.
In the death of the night can you feel me inside?
I wish that you could conceive..

Just a twist in time ...and you could be mine
Just a sip of wine ...and you could be mine
Just a kiss devine ...and you could be mine

Won't you leave me in the darkness.
Take away the pride, all the dignity that's burning inside.
Can't you see I'm standing naked.
I'll bear all the crosses and the crucifixes you can provide.
If you could decide.

Just a twist in time ...and you could be mine
Just a sip of wine ...and you could be mine
Just a kiss devine ...and you could be mine


This Side Of Me

I want to move in time with you
I want to breathe in rhyme with you
I want to feel the deepest kiss
And I want to know you feel like this

For this one time, one time
Let my body do what it feels
For just this one time, one time
Let this fantasy become real
Because I am not afraid to let you see this side of me

I want to feel your hand in mine
And I want to feel that rush in my spine
I want to wear the scent of you
And do all the things you want me to

For this one time, one time
Let my body do what it feels
For just this one time, one time
Let this fantasy become real
Because I am not afraid to let you see this side of me

I feel the danger, the separation
I want to take your invitation
This separation it's all around
I need this side of me

I want to move in time with you
I want to breathe in rhyme with you
I want to stitch my clothes in sin
And in the dark
I want to find that door and go within

For this one time, one time
Let my body do what it feels
For just this one time, one time
Let this fantasy become real
Because I am not afraid to let you see this side of me
I am not afraid to let you see this side of me


The Animal Song

When superstars and cannonballs are running through your head
And television freak show cops and robbers everywhere
Subway makes me nervous, people pushing me too far
I've got to break away
So take my hand now

Chorus:
'Cause I want to live like animals
Careless and free like animals
I want to live
I want to run through the jungle
With wind in my hair and the sand at my feet

I've been having difficulties keeping to myself
Feelings and emotions better left up on the shelf
Animals and children tell the truth, they never lie
Which one is more human
There's a thought, now you decide

Compassion in the jungle
Compassion in your hands, yeah
Would you like to make a run for it
Would you like to take my hand, yeah

Chorus
Sometimes this life can get you down
It's so confusing
There's so many rules to follow
And I feel it
'Cause I just run away in my mind
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Superstars and cannonballs running through your head
Television freak show cops and robbers everywhere
Animals and children tell the truth, they never lie
Which one is more human
There's a thought, now you decide

Compassion in the jungle
Compassion in your hands, yeah
Would you like to make a run for it
Would you like to take my hand, yeah

Chorus (repeat to fade)
