Step Into My World (perfecto mixes) EP
Only the Strongest Will Survive EP
Just Another Illusion
so you wait down at the square
for the ones who say they care
they'll tell you stories for boys
let you play with all their toys
they pin a badge on your chest
now you're better than all the rest
you wanted to reach her
but now you're the man
and you'll never see her again
so you're running just to see her
but when you get there
you can't touch her
she's just another illusion
and your falling looks like dancing
i here you calling
it's alright
but it's just an illusion
Saw the world for you one day
with all the curtains pulled away
every mirror was a wall
every eye a crystal ball
i tried to be a money machine
keepin with style,
ya know what i mean?
i wanted to show you
i wanted to know
just another illusion now
so you're running just to see her
but when you get there
you can't touch her
she's just another illusion
and you're falling looks like dancing
i here you calling
it's alright
but it's just an illusion
All my memories fade so fast
almost before the time has passed
step off the number 22
with the beat and a rhyme for you
it's a feeling with no name
helpless faces play the game
from the night when we tried to hide
to reach out to the other side
and on the other side of night
we carried on without the strength to fight
soon we'll fade away, you'll see
to a face that calls like
faces in a dream
faces in a dream
I don't want to spend the rest of my days
running around, chasing your shadow
so please don't let this chance slip away
if you waste it this time
I won't be here tomorrow
if we get it together
it could last forever
if you got the time to try it
you know that it could be a riot
we don't live in the same world
we don't live in the same world
but i could step into your world
if you step into my world
I don't want to spend the rest of my days
running around, chasing your shadow
so please don't let this chance slip away
if you waste it this time
I won't be here tomorrow
we don't live in the same world
take a step into my world
Do you really care?
Mother Superior,
you think i'm a fool?
because i drove into a heart-shaped pool
the river is flowing right down to the sea
but i want to know what you feel for me.
take it easy
take it slow
make it easy
let it go
nice and easy
let me know
What do you feel?
Mother Superior
give me a sign
hang out your clothes on my washing line
step in the shower
to the record machine
looking like something in a teenage dream
are you a lover or a friend
is this the start or the end
will i be seeing you again
if it's true, please tell me when (4x)
Mother Superior
Success was just a finger's breadth away
and now you wonder what you're going to do today
but you've got to let go of the dream
rehabilitation seems to be
for once such as i, an impossibility
so i'd better let go of the dream,
understand what i mean
it's a terrible scene
and when you're walking home
will you remember what it was
when you're walking home
will you remember who i was
when you get back home
will you remember that it was
only rock and roll.
Cos when the world stops falling
you can't get shelter from the storm
and you feel like you're nothing
and your cash won't keep you warm
it's a chain reaction
you should know by now
will you break your chains just for me?
I saw my baby running
from the arms in my mind
i told her little sister
you can't leave me behind
i saw my baby crying,
i said baby please don't cry
i know our life is crashing down
but we can't reason why
cos when the world starts falling
you can't get shelter from the storm
and you feel like you're nothing
and your cash won't keep you warm
it's a chain reaction
you should know by now
would you break your chains just for me?
it's a chain reaction
Outside see the main street,
people crying
i'm not allowed to walk home after dark
mama screams as dad jumps out the window
i'm just another wasted soul here in the dark
but when i turn the lights on
and see my baby dancing
then i'm a lucky man.
I walked down to the corner
and some voice from a window
says i'm a lucky man
"you're a lucky man, lucky man"
wake up, told you twice,
you're no good liar,
you're here again,
and i think it's time for school
you shouldn't put fingers in the fire
just cos some TV guy says it's cool.
but when i turn the lights on
and see my baby dancing
then i'm a lucky man.
I walked down to the corner
and some voice from a window
says i'm a lucky man
"you're a lucky man, lucky man"
Sliding into town one sunny afternoon i found
though your sweet smile was on my mind,
somehow it brought me down
i'm thinking of the face all broken down as life gave in
i looked into a mirror
and i saw that face within
and if i never see you again
i'll remember every good time has to end (3x)
as my head starts to unwind,
there's a melody i find
and she sings
leave me like before we never cried about a thing
but now there's something in the way
fill me deep inside and help me wash away the pain
make the madness drift away
the candor of things we're saying,
of the words we always say
when we're on the way back home
weekends lead to wednesday
and i wish that i could stay,
but i'd only bring you down
As we arrive you read my mind
and the melody rewinds
and she sings
leave me like before we never cried about a thing
but now there's something in the way
i'm wishing for a wave to come and cover everything
take our bodies far away
you could always read my mind
you never tell me what you find
I don't want to stand in line.
I was a product yesterday
but living well has made me feel okay
and so i realize there comes a time
to get up and refuse to stand in line.
I don't want to stand in line.
the easy life seduces you and then
you wake up then one day you're one of them
living, but no longer alive
what a waste of time in line
I don't want to stand in line.
I will remember all my life
moments you have frozen in time
living, but no longer alive
wrapped around my mind in line
I don't want to stand in line.
somebody flipped a coin
now you're gonna take a step to the other side of the line
baby, you was born to lose
if you think that you can choose
when it's gonna be your time
?????????????????
we'll never hesitate
to put somebody's life on the line
somebody tell me
that's not the way it is
gonna stop me crying
wouldn't trust you with a candle
if i could not see the way
you know your eyes are like a window
on a clear and cloudless day
somebody flipped a coin
now you're gonna take a step to the other side of the line
baby, you was born to lose
if you think that you can choose
when it's gonna be your time
we always beat the stakes
we never hesitate to put somebody's life on the line.
Somebody tell me that's not the way it is,
gonna stop me crying.
Gonna stop you crying
with the roll of the dice
Can you stop me crying
before my eyes turn to ice
like a hard rain falling
it's a cold wind blowing
like a sound of a jet plane when it's really going
getting a smoke ring dissolved in the membrane
somewhere in my mind...
returning to the usual homes to say those satisfactions didn't come.
I left those steady on my feet with fever laughter forcing me to run.
everything was shaking all around
i felt just like a number checking out
Don't look away
I'm seeing everything that's taking over of my hand beside my face.
I'm total confidence to feeling insecure and deadly out in space.
the universe was shrinking or my consciousness was changing in its size.
the last thing i remember was the feeling that the world had just capsized.
listen girl, i'm trying to explain
that nothing anymore is quite the same
Don't look away
listen girl, i'm trying to explain
that nothing can be right ever again
Don't look away
it's a shame
such a shame
when it's all been already arranged
and nobody knows who to blame
the stars all arrived in a black limousine
and the orchestra plays
the band touched down in a daze
and nobody knows what to say
so we step out the side of a black limousine
as the orchestra plays (whole stanza 2x to end]
My hands are shaking
eyes focused on you
i'm only doing what i've got to do
when i can't face it
when i'm dead on my feet
six o'clock in the morning
asleep on the street
miss tightrope walker
high up on your wire
don't look down
keep walking.
It's getting dark now
Ten years to dawn
can't wait for the first rays
to make myself warm
one day i ran away into the sun
one day i'm hoping maybe i'll feel like someone.
miss tightrope walker
high up on your wire
don't look down
i'm watching
miss tightrope walker
high up on your wire
don't look down
keep walking
your white suit in the bath
it was the perfect autograph
it was so.
and cracked up on TV
i saw you staring back at me
as if to say
"Why don't you do it, if you want to?
slip right into it, it might save you."
The world that we perceive is just our own private creation
some are replacing imagination with belief
as i invent myself, i'm seeing others do the same
and when we lose our roots it comes as some relief
killing off the polaroid
can't kill the picture on the other side
and as the shadows play
we're losing something on the way
until we're satisfied
and we don't step outside anymore.
"Why don't you do it, if you want to?
slip right into it, it might save you."
I'm a lonely drifter, trying to find the way
running from my shadow, to another day
i'm a baby driver, just catching flies
one more betrayal comes as no surprise
so come round here
if you think it's easy
come see me.
I'm a schoolboy zero
i want a Marshall stack
feeling like a big star
i'm never coming back
had a lady teacher
on the edge of tears
trying to make a connection
across so many years
don't let the world come down so heavy
when you know you're not to blame
don't let the crowds make you so lonely
don't you know that we're all the same?
so never mind the rain
never mind the rain
let the mirror cry today
you're no human sacrifice
and the hardest rain will wash away
as the sun begins to rise
don't let the world come down so heavy
when you know you're not to blame
don't let the crowds make you so lonely
don't you know that we're all the same?
so never mind the rain
never mind the rain
Well there's only one life and you know,
it won't take you where you want to go
yesterday was a walk in the park
but tomorrow is a step in the dark
and my life is worthing to some
but to you I hope i am number one.
in my head i repeat a new rule
pain is easy, pleasure is cruel
I tell you,
only the strongest will survive
these days you've got to kill yourself just to stay alive.
everybody's talking like they want to see the party begin
I'll be in the alley, get a taxi, cos i'm staying in
only the strongest will survive...
i'm strong enough to get you through
are you strong enough to help me to?
only the strongest will survive...
I can not not believe when you stand here before me
how can you understand what is so hard to say
Can't find the words to describe it
cos it is getting away
I believe in the magic that i seem to do
Don't want a part of the world all hung up on illusion
When the best they can offer is just out of hand
Maybe they know what they're missing
Maybe they don't realize
I believe in the magic i see in your eyes
Maybe they know what they're missing
Maybe they don't realize
I believe in the magic i see in your eyes
Total awareness cuts through the pills
that hide the appearance of pain
the doctor says shock
and he gives you a shot
sends you home plugged into the mains???
But i wanna see,
what it does for me
Slow speed is all we know.
It's all we know.
Our comet is drifting out of control
but nothing it proves anymore
heros are falling in a blink of an eye
as we freeze frame from here to the floor
But i wanna see,
what it does for me
Slow speed is all we know.
It's all we know.
I hear you thinking
But would you share it with it with another
I think it's about my time
You know I'm sinking
Can't you bear to be mine
Maybe blame it on my rising rign
As I wander in the maze
I get lost inside a mirror
Going under to the top
As I fall too high to drop
And I hear a tambourine
From a distant constellation
You won't see it till it's gone
Don't trust your eyes
I hear you thinking
But would you share it with another
I think it's about my time
You know I'm sinking
Can't you bear to be mine
Maybe blame it on my rising rign
So now it's over
I can see it never started
And a shiver's shaking up my spine
The smoke is rising
Are you sending me the signal
That you blame it on my rising sign
Now I see a picture
Of a thousand situations
Going under to the top
And it's never going to stop
Now I see the sound
Of a thousand conversations
You won't see it till it's gone
Don't trust your eyes
You see me rise
You see me shine
Maybe blame it on my rising sign
The Price That We Pay
Woke up with a sense of wonder, been asleep for years
Someone else's movie invading my ears
Rise up to the window, smile in the afternoon sun
This is year number zero, this is day number one
And all the dreams that we, had have come true in a different way
And all the scenes of our lives don't add up to that much of a pay
But the time that we stole in the garden of eden
Was worth the price that we pay
No regrets, no revivals, no tears, it's a brand new day
Riding the A-train, admiring the view
Wish I was drowning, in an ocean of you
Darkness is falling, right out of the sky
Can't make it till Monday, but I've got to try
And all the dreams that we, had have come true in a different way
And all the scenes of our lives don't add up to that much of a pay
But the time that we stole in the garden of eden
Was worth the price that we pay
No regrets, no revivals, no tears, it's a brand new day
She's got a brand new good friend,
And only five minutes later,
She's on the line, I need time, I thought she said it's forever,
It's getting me down, that I can't seem to win,
So I'll walk downtown, 'til some place draws me in,
And I'll watch myself drown, from the inside out,
I'm counting all the tears you cry,
Haven't you heard it's the greatest high,
Feeling sorry but I don't know why,
But all you gave me was a lie.
Took a five minute ride,
In a glass elavator,
And as we stared at the sides I tried to tell her I missed her,
She turns away,
I can't see her face,
She's cutting me off,
Now I'm in this space,
And she's watching me drown form the inside.
I'm counting all the tears you cry,
haven't you heard it's the greatest high,
Feeling sorry but I don't know why,
And I'm sitting here,
I'm counting all the tears you cry,
Haven't you heard it's the greatest high,
Feeling sorry but I don't know why,
But all you gave me was a lie.
