Raging Silence

Heavens above - what on earth has this come to
What have I done - what can I do now to show you
There's still a chance if you're ready to make up
It's not too late, cause I'm not ready to break up

I try to call, but you don't hear at all

I'm sending roses
I'm sending blood red roses
This burning in my heart is tearing me apart I'm sending roses
I'm sending blood red roses
You've got to understand that's my heart in your hand

No...
Don't walk away - we can get this heart mended
Or am I the fool - and has this love just ended

I tried to call, but you don't hear at all

I'm sending roses
I'm sending blood red roses
This burning in my heart is tearing me apart
I'm sending roses
I'm sending blood red roses

I gotta keep on trying
To stop this love from dying

You've got to understand
That my heart is in your hand

Well I'm not superstitious
But there's something going on inside
Could be friendly could be vicious
And there isn't any place to hide
It's my imagination
A blessing or a curse
No I can't ignore it
For better or for worse
It wakes me when I'm sleeping
A thief that takes my breath away

And I find myself reaching
For a lifeline
Throw me a lifeline
And bring me back this time
I need a lifeline
Throw me a lifeline
I'm going down for the last time

Sometimes I can't control it
Sometimes it isn't there at all
Sometimes I try to roll it
And wind up staring at the wall
My imagination
I love the games it plays
I get in so deep
That I get lost for days and days
It sometimes leaves me shakin'
Standing in the dark alone
And I find myself reaching

It's a familiar voice
Sometimes I wonder if I have a choice
You give it everything
You're selling God but am I listening

I hear you've seen the light
Your message comes to me by satellite
You say I must believe
I say it's just another way to deceive

If my salvation has anything to do
With your empty promises and what you think is true
Well here's my donation, if it's all the same to you

I am the voice on your TV
But I am one and I am free
Always to say what I believe
I know you're only a voice on my TV

The number on the screen
Will help me get to heaven, so it would seem
The money flows and flows
And no one cares enough to know where it goes

Look at all the millions that you've taken for a ride
With the warmest words, and the coldest heart inside
And how much longer can I listen to... your lies

What are all credit card believers gonna say
When they hear about the scandals
And the lovers that you pay
And all about the meetings in your secret hideaway

I am the voice on your TV
But I am one and I am free
Always to say what I believe

I can save you
You're just a voice on my TV
Your power's strong but I am free
Always to say what I believe

This is your conscience speaking

She told me the story I listened with my eyes closed
So sad, but so true
She whispered softly, I asked her why she did so
She knew that I knew
She was a skater, the ice was her second home
The country's finest, everyone could see
She had a plan to break across the border
Instead of waiting for the powers that be

Cry freedom, sweet freedom
And tell the whole world to get ready
Cry freedom, sweet freedom
Now tell the whole world that we're ready

She said goodnight, and just as I was leaving
Black car came into view
And waiting there, they could hear me breathing
They knew that I knew
Cry freedom...

Insane questions, they asked me what did I know
So strange, they let me go
The more they try, the stronger our love grows
I know that you know
Cry freedom...

In this supermarket city
Among the native smiles
You have to pay for attention
And do the best you can
There's a raging silence
And it's charged with action
Got no time for weakness
'Cos I'm a bad bad man

Down the streets of darkness
Where they know my name
Lies a force of evil
And a destructive plan
There's no time for questions
When you run into danger
Don't get too close to me
'Cos I'm a bad bad man

I'm working for the LA division
To stop the inner city collision
I'm bringing law and order
To the twenty-first century

I don't care for politics
You can keep your point of view
You're better off without it
I got my own bad plan

A tough cop has a lonely existence
A reputation of the highest resistance
A mean runner bringing order
To the twenty-first century

I don't believe in passion
Don't believe in feelings
I take peace from the wicked
Run and hide while you can
I got no time for small talk
Got no time for off-the-wall talk
Don't care who I tread on
'Cos I'm a bad bad man
Bad bad man...

I held the rope so tightly
As she climbed down from her room
We said we'd make our getaway
Underneath the moon
I always will remember the night that we left home
And the words of warning ringing in my ears

More fool you, more fool me

New job, new friends and a family
In a house on the sunny side
We played on the wheel of fortune
But it was me that took the ride
It didn't work between us
I had to give it all away
And in the end I knew it had to be

More for you - more fool me
More for you - more fool me

If I've told you once
Then I've told you twice
But I'll tell you once again
Now she's taken away most everything
And I've lost my only friend

When the war is over, got to get away
Pack my bags to no place in no time no day
You and I we used each other's shoulder
Still so young, but somehow so much older
How can I go home and not get blown away

Ain't nobody gonna steal this heart away
Ain't nobody gonna steal this heart away

When the war is over, got to start again
Try to hold a trace of what it was back then
You and I, we shared each other's stories
How can I go home and not get blown away

You and I had our sights set on something
Hope this doesn't mean our days are numbered
I've got plans for more than ordered days
All around is chaos and madness
Cannot feel you're nothing more than sadness
Only choice, to face it the best I can

When the war is over, got to start again
Try to hold a trace of what it was back then
You and I, we shared each other's stories
But just to think I'm lost in all its glories
How can I go home and not get blown away

The gates have opened, now I'm a free man
My time is over, I need a new plan
But I've had no loving for a year and a day
My lady's waiting, got a taste for her wine
She's wearing money, but none of it's mine
She's been surviving while I've been wasting away

Back in my room, it ain't quite the same
You can't hide it, I'm onto your game

Rough Justice, there's no disguise
Losing my lover
And I can tell by the look in your eyes
Rough Justice, I've had my share
Looking for cover
I've done my time, but I'm still running scared
Rough Justice, coming down on me
Hand on my shoulder
Long arm of the law never setting me free
Rough Justice, I bide my time

Back in action, riding the crest
Putting all that I learned to the test
No complications, taking it day by day
Freedom of movement, freedom of choice
Free to be right back here with the boys
Ready to listen, but you've got nothing to say
Back in my room, it ain't quite the same
Just can't help it I'm part of your game

And if it's bad
Don't let it get you down - you can take it
And if it hurts
Don't let them see you cry - you can make it

Hold your head up woman
Hold your head up woman
Hold your head up woman
Hold your head up high

And if they stare
Just let them burn their eyes on you moving
And if they shout
Don't let it change a thing that you're doing

Hold your head up woman
Hold your head up woman
Hold your head up woman
Hold your head up high

She got me to walk on water
I did what she said
She got me to steal the moonlight
Put it over her head
And after I moved the mountain
Which stood in the way
The answer was in the question
She asked me if I wanted to stay

All of my friends said it wouldn't last
I'd be another there in her past
But I disagree 'cause
I can't say say no, no, no, no

Save me, she's so hungry
Make a man do anything
I know, she gets hungry
Gets away like an innocent child
Save me, she's so hungry
Has the appetite to everything
I know, she's just hungry
She's got the mind of a miracle child

And when I changed the seasons
And water to wine
I took all the wordly problems
And got the peace in our time
And after I built the temple
She wanted so bad
I took her ?? on Sunday
To look at everything she had

I could say no, but I always do
Someone outside put me comin' through
And I can't stop her
I can't say no, no, no, no

She's so hungry
She gets hungry ...
