Machine II Machine
( 1995 ) 
Tie Me Up
Black velvet, pale moonlight
Show me heaven and the end of the world
Tie me up and make me scream out loud
In danger, in hunger
Show me wicked toys and all there is
CHORUS :
I love it when you scream out loud
Tie me up and make me scream out loud
What I touch is feeling hot... we heat it up
Dark shadows in motion
We melt and we never stop
Fear no danger and invite the absurd
Be my temple where I pray for more
Be my mirror where I'm free to let go
Tie me up and tie me down
Tie me up, tie me inside out
Just turn me on and come around
In something like a cage... we heat it up
Warm bleeding, soft screaming
I feel some human chain
Fear no game I'm sure I will be pleased
Be my blood moving fast or slow
Take your time the end is up to you
Tie me up, tie me up and down
Tie me up and tie me down
Tie me up, tie me inside out
Just turn me on and come around
Turn me on, turn me all night long
Tie me up and move along
Tie me up
Tie me up
The Want
I feel my blood is runnin'
I'm gettin' so excited
When I see you I feel so amazing
I always think of you
Close my eyes and see
When I see you I feel so amazing
I want you I want you
Let me feel your arms around me
Always hope for you
When I see you I feel so amazing
Let me feel your arms around me
I want your love
When I look at you
CHORUS :
Let me feel you want to love me
I feel my heart is pumpin'
I feel you in the air
Can no longer hide it
I feel you everywhere
When I look at you
I'm always wanting you
I'm always watching you
My instinct's tellin' me
Your the one I want
And I'm wanting you
I want you
I want your love
I want your love
I want your love
would you feed me when I'm hungry
Always watching you
Always wanting you
And I'm wanting you
I want you
Would you feed me when I'm hungry
I want you
Let me feel your arms around me
I want you
Would you feed me when I'm hungry
I want you
I want your love
I want your love
I feel so amazing
And I'm wanting you
You're in my heart
You're in my soul
Man I'm wanting you yea
Let me feel you want my body
Let me feel your arms around me
I hunger for your body
I want you
Ceremony
So here is the ritual
I can't tell you what I go through
When I wake, hot to the touch
You are my ceremony
Now here we are, both skin to skin
One day you'll feel it like I do
CHORUS :
So what should I say Is it the ancient dance of lovers
CHORUS :
I've been through heaven and hell for you
All night, all night long
Satin dreams all covered in sweat
I swear to god, you'll be the death of me yet
You are my ceremony
You are my ceremony
Your body sacred, we're about to begin
All night, all night long
Watch the moon, let it drop from the sky
Understand I might draw first blood
But I won't sting like the rattlesnake's bite
A fire deep in the heart so true
If I take you, understand
I might explode like a bomb in your hand
Is it the comin' rain
Or is it the passion of something more strange
Machine II Machine
So criminal, you're torturing me
Flesh on flesh, sweat on sweat
Two animals, machine to machine you got
So physical, electric I feel
Sex on sex, blood on blood
Two animals, machine to machine
Two animals, machine to machine
CHORUS :
With your terminal eyes
Your voodoo brings me down on my knees
You're the murdering kind
Hot as hell, cold as steel
Some primitive feel
Two animals, machine to machine
Spinnin' in circles, spinnin' inside the wheel
All I need is a taste
You feed on any soul you can steal
And some burn at the stake
Smooth as glass, lost in space
You got some primitive feel
Two animals, machine to machine
Spinnin' in circles, spinnin' inside the wheel
You got some primitive feel
Two animals, machine to machine
Spinnin' in circles, spinnin' in circles
Are They Comin' For Me
Have you heard the latest news
Down to the bone we lose compassion
Keep a secret, lose the faith
In the night a child's cryin'
Down to the bone we fight with passion
Keep a secret, lose the faith
And if I saw you
CHORUS :
War burning in the human state
Can't keep it in the name of God
Can't take it in the name of hate
Dirty lies of a promised peace
Running with the falling rain
Does heaven bleed?
What could it be, are they comin' for me
All lost in another disease
Can't stand it in the name of God
Can't blame it in the name of peace
I'll trade you a hand grenade
For a night that doesn't scream
Keep your distance, feel the pain
Keep the fire, take the blame
Does heaven bleed?
What could it be, are they comin' for me
Would you recognize my face
War can change you
Rearrange you all the same
Can't Stop Thinking About You
Losin' sleep almost lost my mind
Come take me erase me
Let's do something that's front page news
We can walk on the razor's edge
Come with me, so easy
CHORUS :
Are you ready, so tell me
CHORUS :
Feel my veins squeezin' me so nice
Sexy junkie, hey sexy fix
What you got in your bag of tricks?
You're fire and I'm gasoline
Can't stop thinking about you
Leave your innocence black and blue
Can't stop thinking about you
We can bleed such a pretty red
If we fall then it's just a dream
Danger you and danger me
You're fire and I'm gasoline
Are you scared
Oh let me undress you to your soul
Don't Mistake It For Love
What a dream come true
The only thing I really feel is the regret of my heart
I'll take a bullet in for you
When you come in view
Many times I realise all the damage that is to be done
CHORUS :
So you wanna play?
The only thing I really feel is the regret of my heart
CHORUS :
I got the biggest crush on you
My whole body shakes
I know I'm gonna break
But God I'm craving for more
Killing you with kindness
Like a junkie pushing all his shots
Or whatever you want me to
But don't you mistake it for love
I'll walk the razors just for you
To show you a thing or two
But don't you mistake it for love
I'm keeping cool but man I'm so damn hot for you
I thought it would be fun
But then again I think it's turnin' upside down, down, down
If you wanna see over the edge
I already feel like a loaded gun
You wanna play with fire baby?
I'll show you fire
You're lookin' right at it
Watch me burn into your bloody soul
killing you with kindness
like a junkie pushing all his shots
Desperately
I might walk along the shadows
There's a fire storm deep inside of me
Now the dream I had is over
CHORUS :
Can't you listen I hear a heartbeat
Have you ever been desperate
Where I find my soul awake as I sleep
Oh my god there's rain when you're gone
What we need in ourselves
We can't find in our dreams
Could it be my heart desperately
If the tears I cry bring you to your knees
Could you ever feel desperately
Somehow I know it wasn't me
Oh my god there was ice when you ran
What I need to believe is the reason of time
Or maybe thunder
When you're alone it all sounds the same
Have you ever been desperate
Have you ever been desperately
Love Is A Thrill
Prepare to dine in the darkest hour
Can't start without you, I guess I'll wait
Love is the thrill, dare I touch
Now would you dance in the mirror for me
Can't be without you I hope you'll stay
CHORUS :
Now if you have a second, I'd like to taste your rage
Can't start without you, so I guess I'll wait
CHORUS :
I hope you like what I feed
And be my guest at this special party
You'll look so good on your knees
I hear the thunder comin' with the rain
Love is the pain, one to one
Deep in the heart shadows come
Love is the thrill of fear I love
And would you fly through the air
And be my soul if I'm feeling empty
And be my eyes when I stare
I won't release you, no you won't get away
Here in the heat of passion, we find another age
My blood, your blood, our blood tonight
I hear the thunder comin' with the rain
Light In The Window
Lonely souls lost out on the highway
Keep a light on in the window
One more night lying here without you
Where can I turn to I wish I knew
Keep a light on in the window
It's hard to get back once you've been there
Keep a light on in the window
Waited all night long but no-one's going my way
And you know it's a long way home
Here I go barely holdin' on
I wish I knew all the reasons why
My life just seems to pass me by
Say a prayer for me my friend
Keep a light on in the window
Don't give up on me cause I'll be back again
Such a lonely fight I don't know how to get through
I have dreamed of a perfect world
But down here it just keeps on hurtin'
Is it too much of me to ask of you
Say a prayer for me my love
Keep a light on in the window
Don't give up on me cause you're the only one
Oh heaven knows how hard I've tried
It's hard forgettin' what you witness
Once you've seen the other side
So hard to forget
Say a prayer for me my friend
Keep a light on in the window
Don't give up on me - don't give up
Keep a light on in the window
Say a prayer for me my friend
Keep a light on in the window
Keep your faith in me until we meet again
Welcome To The Tribe
You hear it callin'
If I lay my arms around you
Close your eyes as I take you
Take my hand take a bite
When I lay this kiss upon you
CHORUS :
It's coming tonight on the wind
A love as old as the earth and original sin
Would you fall apart on me
Into the tribe
A lovely night as I take you
Into the tribe
Take a look in the past
We were one we were here
Through eternity's dance
You will never leave oh no
Like Whiskey Straight
Down on your knees I send you
Take me somewhere, take me nowhere
Down to the wall of secrets
What you wanna do
Crawl on some broken glass
Barbed wire, heart is waking
Feeds on the night's demands
If I fall to the ground in pieces
I can't work with a safety net
I can run with the best of storm clouds
Don't love me, now don't bet
Take my love like whiskey straight
Take me over, take me under
Take my love like whiskey straight
Down to the sea of sin
Only one way to get me going
Only one way to ever win
Now I won't stand for crazy stories
I take words like whiskey straight
First you'll laugh, then you'll laugh no more, no
I'm different, your not safe
You wanna take me or what
What you wanna say
We feel so hot
In Freiheit Stirbt Mein Herz
Halt mich fester
Nimm' mich ein Leben lang
Nimm' mich in Deine Arme
Deen in Freiheit ist mein Herz unendlich schwer
Wenn ich Dich nur fuhle
Folg mir in Gedanken
Denn in Freiheit ist mein Herz unendlich schwer
Lass mich nie mehr - nie mehr von Dir gehn
Lass mich niemals mehr frei
Denn in Freiheit ist mein Herz unendlich schwer
In Freiheit ist mein Herz unendlich schwer
Lass mich nie wieder los
Geh mit mir auf jeden Weg
Egal wohin - irgendwo
Nimm' meine Hande
Nimm' mich mit bis zum bittren Ende
Lass mich nur nie allein
Halt mich fest so fest Du willst
Nimm' mich mit in die Ewigkeit
Lass mich nie mehr frei
In Freiheit ist es unertraglich leer
Fang mich ein
Und halt mich fest
Und fessel mich an Dein Herz
Denn einsam und alleine
Stirbt mein Herz
Wird mir unendlich heiss
Wenn ich Dich und Deinen Herzschlag spure
Taut mein Herz aus Eis
Bis es mich tief beruhrt
Begleite mich wenn ich traume
Lass Dich von mir verfuhr'n
Nimm' mich mit in Deine Seele
Nimm' mich mit Gewalt
Nimm' mich mit bis ans Ende der Erde
Geb mich niemals frei
In Freiheit ist es unertraglich leer
Schliess mich ein
Und bind mich fest
Fessel mich an Dein Herz
Denn einsam und alleine
Stirbt mein Herz
Lass mich fur immer Dir gehor'n
In Freiheit ist es unertraglich leer
Fang mich ein und fessel mich
Fessel mich an Dein Herz
Denn einsam - so einsam
Stirbt mein Herz
In Freiheit ist es unertraglich leer
Schliess mich ein und bind mich fest
..... schliess mich in Dein Herz ....!
