Thank You For Loving Me

It's hard for me to say the things
I want to say sometimes
There's no one here but you and me
And that broken old street light
Lock the doors
We'll leave the world outside
All I've got to give to you
Are these five words when I

Thank you for loving me
For being my eyes
When I couldn't see
For parting my lips
When I couldn't breathe
Thank you for loving me
Thank you for loving me

I never knew I had a dream
Until that dream was you
When I look into your eyes
The sky's a different blue
Cross my heart I wear no disguise
If I tried, you'd make believe
That you believed my lies

Thank you for loving me
For being my eyes
When I couldn't see
For parting my lips
When I couldn't breathe
Thank you for loving me

You pick me up when I fall down
You ring the bell before they count me out
If I was drowning you would part the sea
And risk your own life to rescue me

Lock the doors
We'll leave the world outside
All I've got to give to you
Are these five words when I

Thank you for loving me
For being my eyes
When I couldn't see
You parted my lips
When I couldn't breathe
Thank you for loving me

When I couldn't fly
Oh, you gave me wings
You parted my lips
When I couldn't breathe
Thank you for loving me

The Answer

The lightning flashed as angels
Rode fiery chargers through the clouds
That answer scared me into tears A
nd all the grownups laughed out loud

Now the years roll on, tired voices have all gone
Now they ride their thunder through the heavens

There's a world in every drop of rain
Embracing oceans sweep us home again
Come along with me, come along with me
Seek the truth, you shall not find another lie

They say for every living thing
There's a guide up in the sky
That helps you pass from world to world
So you never really die

Then with scythe and cloak
Death comes waltzing to your side
As the visions pass you ask
If there was meaning to your life
As you strain to hear the answer, spirits sing, and devils fiddle
As he bends to whisper in your hear, he leaves you one more riddle

Oh, the answer lies beyond the pain
All the questions in our minds, we surely ask in vain
Come along with me, come along with me
Seek the truth, and you shall find another life

And now my life is like a storm
Growing stronger every day
Like the unrelenting wind
That comes to blow our lives away
So I live each day like I know it's my last
If there is no future there must be no pas

Now I know the answers never meant a thing
And with each instant that I breathe
I feel the joy that life can bring
Come along with me, come along with me
Seek the truth, you shall not find another lie
Come along with me, come along with me
Seek the truth, you shall not find another lie

The Hardest Part Is The Night

In the heat of the street of the city
A young boy hides the pain
And he walks so tall, trying to hang on
But he knows he's going down again
I know he's going down...
Darkness fades he's the prince of his city
In a place where they all know your name
You can see in their eyes life so paralyzed
Your just a pawn in a losin' game
You lose at life it ain't no game

Hear their cries
The hardest part is the night
(In the night, hear their cries, in the night)
Stay alive
The hardest part is the night, it's the night, it's the night...

All alone in a place where the lonely
They all have to walk through the rain
And they dance on the edge where you only
Only pray that it has to end
That the night ain't no friend

Hear their cries
The hardest part is the night
(In the night, hear their cries, in the night)
Stay alive
The hardest part is the night, it's the night, it's the night...

These four walls they could tell you some stories
About lying and dying and fame
There's a price that you pay for the glory
About losing and choosing and pain

Hear their cries
The hardest part is the night
(
In the night, hear their cries, in the night)
Stay alive
The hardest part is the night

In the night, stay alive, in the night

The Price Of Love

One heart one other
They met last summer
One move she started
Now they love this way
The pain of pleasure
Lying together
You're at their mercy
As the telephone' ringing on
No one said there'd be nights like this
Risk your life for a stolen kiss
We live, we learn, we lie
For the price of love
We kiss then say goodbye
For the price of love
We live, we learn, we lie
For the price of love
We kiss then say goodbye
For the price of love
Each move goes so slow
Until the doors close
No secret codes now
No words as baby goes down
One last dance then goodbye
Practicing his love lies
He runs to his wife
And your left holding the knife
You live your life to take that chance
When your a master of the art of romance
And you know you won't cross that line
Until that last slow dance
We live, we learn, we lie
For the price of love
We kiss, then say goodbye
For the price of love
We live, we learn, we lie
For the price of love
Alone our lonely hearts would die.
It's all in the game
And the way that it's played
There's no time to wonder why
To catch you when you fall
Answer when you call
No one can hear you cry
We live, we learn, we lie
For the price of love
We kiss, then say goodbye
For the price of love
We live, we learn, we lie
For the price of love
We kiss, then say goodbye
For the price of love

These Days

I was walking around just a face in the crowd
Trying to keep myself out of the rain
Saw a vagabond king wear a styrofoam crown
Wondered if I might end up the same
There's a man out on the corner
Singing old songs about change
Everybody got there cross to bear
These days

She came looking for some shelter
With a suitcase full of dreams
To a motel room on the boulevard
Guess she's trying to be James Dean
She's seen all the disciples and all the 'wanna be's'
No-one wants to be themselves these days
Still there's nothing to hold on to but these days

These days - the starts seems out of reach
These days - there ain't a ladder on the streets
These days - are fast, love don't last in this graceless age
There ain't nobody left but us these days

Jimmy Shoes he busted both his legs
T ryin' to learn to fly
From a second story window
He just jumped and closed his eyes
His mamma said he was crazy
He said Mamma "I've gotta try"
'Don't you know that all my heroes died?
And I guess I'd rather die than fade away'

These days - the stars ain't out of reach
But these days - there ain't a ladder on the streets
These days are fast, nothing lasts-it's a graceless age
Even innocence has caught the midnight train
There ain't nobody left but us these days

I know Rome's still burning
Though the times have changed
This world keeps turning round and round and round and round
These days

These days - the stars ain't out of reach
But these days - there ain't a ladder on the streets
These days are fast, love don't last-its a graceless age
Even innocence has caught the midnight train

These days - the stars ain't out of reach
These days - there ain't a ladder on the streets
These days are fast, nothing lasts-there ain't no time to waste

There ain't nobody left to take the blame
There ain't nobody left but us these days

This Ain't A Love Song

I should have seem it coming when the roses died
Should have seen the end of summer in your eyes
I should have listened when you said good night
You really meant goodbye

Baby, ain't it funny, how you never ever learn to fall
You're really on your knees, when you think your standing tall
But only fools are 'know-it-alls' and I played that fool for you

I cried and I cried
There were nights that I died for you baby
I tried and I tried
To deny that your love drove me crazy, baby

If the love that I got you is gone
If the river I cried ain't that long
Then I'm wrong, yeah I'm wrong
This ain't a love song

Baby, I thought you and me would stand the test of time
Like we got away with the perfect crime but
We were just a legend in my mind
I guess that I was blind
Remember those nights dancing at the masquerade
The clowns wore smiles that wouldn't fade
You and I were the renegades, some things never change

It made me so mad 'cause
I wanted it bad for us baby
Now it's so sad whatever we had
Ain't worth saving

If the love that I got for you is gone
If the river I cried ain't that long
Then I'm wrong, yes I'm wrong
This ain't a love song

If the pain that I'm feeling so strong
Is the reason I'm holding on
Then I'm wrong, yes I'm wrong
This ain't a love song

I cried and I cried
There were nights that I died for you baby
I tried and I tried
To deny that your love drove me crazy, baby

If the love that I got you is gone
If the river I cried ain't that long
Then I'm wrong, yeah I'm wrong
This ain't a love song

If the pain that I'm feeling so strong
Is the reason I'm holding on
Then I'm wrong, yes I'm wrong
This ain't a love song

If the pain that I'm feeling so strong
Is the reason I'm holding on
Then I'm wrong, yes I'm wrong
This ain't a love song
Then I'm wrong, yes I'm wrong
T his ain't a love song

Tokyo Road

In a time, in a place
In a world, they forgot
Lives the heart of me
A part that just won't die
Just a boy, not a man
Sent to war, in a land
They said we'd fight for their freedom
But I felt like a hired hand
Sometimes I have to find my way
Sometimes I have to get away

Take me back to Tokyo Road
Take me back to Tokyo Road

Working hard, for a pass
Got the night, make it last It was a time to remember
All my life I would never forget
In a bar, breathing smoke
Snorting whiskey, drinking coke
It was a time when no one would die
And there wasn't a care
Sometimes I wish it was that way
Cause sometimes I have to get away

Take me back to Tokyo Road
Take me back to Tokyo Road
Take me back to Tokyo Road
Take me back to Tokyo Road

This guy turns me around and he's pointing up the stairs
I found myself in her doorway but there wasn't anybody there
She walked in the room with nothing on but a red light
And with a smile she got so close to me
She whispered something 'bout midnight
You know I didn't understand a word she said
But it felt so good
She knew that I didn't have any money
But baby I knew she would...

Take me back to Tokyo Road
Take me back to Tokyo Road

To The Fire

We would take no prisoners
'Cause there was nobody giving in
They came walking through my jungle
And met an angel about to sin
I heard a voice from inside of me
When the youth of America cried:
Can you help me, hear me call

I don't wanna fall (I don't wanna fall)
I don't wanna fall (I don't wanna fall)
To the fire

When you're a part of society
You know, the heart of your innocence dies
When we met with authority
I looked him right between the eyes
'Cause all we had was our innocence
All we had was our hearts to try to win the fight you tell me...
Can you save me, from it all

I don't wanna fall (I don't wanna fall)
I don't wanna fall (I don't wanna fall)
To the fire

'Cause I don't wanna fall (I don't wanna fall)
Don't let me fall (I don't wanna fall)
To the fire

Can you help me, hear me call
Can you save me, from it all...

I don't wanna fall (I don't wanna fall)
I don't wanna fall (I don't wanna fall)
To the fire

Two Story Town

I couldn't sleep
Took a walk down Second Avenue

Sick of dreaming dreams that never come true
One way street and I know where its leading to
There's a "For Sale" sign on the front door of the city hall
The subway line got graffiti crawling off the wall
I could take a hit but I don't want to take the fall

That's just one side of the story
In this two story town

It's just the same old sights
And the same old sounds
I want to take my car and drive out of this two story town
It's the same old ship going down
I'm going down, down ,down, down, down
It's a two story town

There's a girl that I sleep with
She's got ecstasy eyes
He promised her roses and American pie
I called her and my demons
And I kissed them both goodbye

Seven days of Monday morning
In a two story town

It's just the same old sights
And the same old sounds
I want to take my horse and ride him off this merry-go-round
It's the same old ship going down
I'm going down, down, down, down, down
It's a two story town

One shot to make a move now
The ghosts are calling me out

And me I'm just one story
In a two story town
But you're never going to find me in the lost and found

It's just the same old sights
And the same old sounds
I want to take my horse and ride him off this merry-go-round
It's the same old ship going down
I'm going down, down, down, down, down
It's a two story town

It's just the same old sights
and the same old sounds
I want to take my horse and ride him off this merry-go-round
I won't give in and I won't back down
I'm going down, down, down, down down
I ain't going down, down, down, down, down
I'm never going down, down, down, down, down
It's a two-story town

Ugly

If you're ugly, I'm ugly too
In your eyes the sky's a different blue
If you could see yourself like others do
You'd wish you were as beautiful as you

And I wish I was a camera sometimes
So, I could take your picture with my mind
Put it in a frame for you to see
How beautiful you really are to me

Ugly, Ugly
All of us just feel like that somedays
Ain't no rainbow in the sky
When you feel U.G.L.Y.
And that's ugly, yeah, yeah, yeah

Ugly, Ugly
All of us just feel like that somedays
Ain't no rainbow in the sky
When you feel U.G.L.Y.
And that's ugly, ugly
All of us just feel like that somedays
Ain't no cure that you can buy
When you feel U.G.L.Y.
And that's ugly

So, if you're ugly, I'm ugly too
If you're a nut, then I must be a screw
If you could see yourself the way I do
You'd wish you were as beautiful as you
I wish I was as beautiful as you

Undiscovered Soul

She was standing at the station
Small town suitcase in her hand
There were dreams she found inside her
That no one cared to understand
She never talks about her childhood
So much past to leave behind
She's so scared to go but still she says goodbye

When you walk that road
You walk alone
Just an undiscovered soul
In the great unknown
When your only hope
Is to find a home
Just an undiscovered soul
In the great unknown in the great unknown

Born and raised in poverty
Daddy died when he was young
All the fears that raged inside him
His spirit need to overcome
Each day he tears down the reflection
Of who he used to be
And with a little luck
He'll rise eventually

When you walk that road
When you walk alone
Just an undiscovered soul
In the great unknown
When your only hope
Is to find a home
Just an undiscovered soul
In the great unknown the great unknown

In the search of our salvation
Relentlessly we climb
Just looking for a reason
In creation's grand design
If patience is a virtue
Then let us humbly begin
We'll be here waiting 'til
Our ship comes sailing in

When you walk that road
We walk alone
Just an undiscovered soul
In the great unknown
When your only hope
Is to find a home
You're just an undiscovered soul
In the great unknown

The great unknown
The great unknown
Don't want to walk through life
An undiscovered soul

Searching for the road
Looking for a home
In the great unknown
Don't want to walk through life
An undiscovered soul

Searching for a home
Looking for a road
In the great unknown
Don't want to walk through life
An undiscovered soul

Patience, virtue, identify, soul
