OLD MAN WISE

Said she was an angel, she was mending broken wings

Told me she could teach me how to fly

There's no easy answer and illusions that I hold

I watch her chase the dragon every night

Screeching in my head

It's burning in my bed

Chorus

I'm looking within

I'm looking without

I'm searching for signs of life

The answers are there,

Does anybody care?

Would you talk to me, Old Man Wise...

Said he was a saviour, and his mission was to heal

Brought him joy to take away their pain

By the thousands they would swarm, like moths around the light

Blinded by his image and his name

Screeching in my head

It's burning in my bed

The truths in side of you

Is it alive or dead?

Chorus

Solo

Chorus

I'm looking within

I'm looking without

I'm searching for signs of life

The answers are clear,

Does anybody hear?

To talk to me, Old Man Wise...

Things got out of control...

Things got out of control...

Things got out of control...

Things got out of control... (fades)

AROUND AGAIN

Cold and walking on the hills

While she hands him tears they share

As the child is born,

To a brand new day

Wars are lost and won

As the city sleeps,

The dirty deeds are layed

And every time you think you're right, you're wrong

Chorus

Now it won't be long

Until the voice of truth has had its' say

And it won't be long

Til everything that's old is all remade

Music fades in honesty

Bathing in our sympathy

Well the child is torn,

To a another way

Speaking with a god

Now the city waits,

The dirty deed replayed

Every time that he thinks he's right, he's wrong

Chorus

Now it won't be long

Until the voice of truth has had its' say

And it won't be long

Til everything that's old is all repaved

Now it won't be long

Until karma comes around again,

Around again, my friend

Solo

As the raven screams,

She never see the dawn

You look around,

And every thing you had is gone

Chorus

Now it won't long

Until the voice of truth has had its' say

And it won't be long

Til everything that's old is all remade

Now it won't long

Until the wrath of truth has had its' day

Yet it won't be long,

Until karma comes around again, my friend

Round and round and round and round and...

Round and round and round and round and...

Round and round and round and round and...

Round and round and round and round and...

Round and round and round and round and...

Round and round and round and round and... (fades)

Round...

PAIN BEHIND YOUR EYES

Another day has come and left you...

So breathlesss and alone again, I know

You're swimming in emotions and those chains will bring you down

The smile that's on your face is just a show

Chorus

You run (you run)

You hide (you hide)

But I know right where you are

You live (you live)

You laugh (you laugh)

But I see through your disguise

I know (I know)

You hear (you hear)

My conscience in you mind

You bleed (you bleed)

I die (I die)

Cause I always feel the pain behind your eyes

Another friend has come and left you...

It's getting hard to recognize the truth, I know

So everytime he lied to you, I read between the lines

The smile that's on the face is just a show

Chorus

You can't find your way back home

You will never be alone

Solo

Chorus

You run (you run)

You hide (you hide)

But I know right where you are

You live (you live)

You laugh (you laugh)

But I see through your disguise

I know (I know)

You hear (you hear)

My conscience in you mind

You bleed (you bleed)

I die (I die)

From the pain behind your eyes

From the pain behind your eyes

LOVE (I DON'T NEED IT ANYMORE)

Morning light,

lands on the face another day begins

In her eyes,

there's the story of a lover who's been disappointed once again

So she combs her hair, she wash her face,

sings her favorite song,

and she forces out a smile

Now the sun's the same, but her world has changed

And everything she held so dear,

it's all on trial

Chorus

She said, love...

I don't need it any more

She said, love...

It lies in pieces on her floor

Love...

I don't need you any more

She said, love...

It keeps on walking out that door

Day-dream weaver,

paint a picture perfect in her mind

Makebeliever,

they offer up a story where the ending always turns out right

So she takes a drag of a cigarette,

with her hair in her hands,

keeps on asking why

All the bad that comes as the goodluck goes,

She's cryin' up a river,

but the river's about to run dry

Chorus

She said, love...

I don't need it any more

She said, love...

It lies in pieces on her floor

Love...

I don't need you any more

She said, love...

Now it's walking out her door

Solo

Love...

I don't need you any more

She said, love...

It lies in pieces on her floor

Love...

I don't need you any more

She said, love...

It keeps on walking out, it's walking out

Love...

I don't need it any more

She said love...

Lies in pieces on her bedroom floor

Love...

I don't need you any more

She said love...

Tell me, what the Hell is love?

Love

Bye-bye

HEAVY D...

You take me in your arms again,

You know

I give you piece of mind

Another place in time, my friend

The voice used will subside

My shadow will encompass you,

You know

The sun will surely fade

And all I gave I take from you

But you you know you can't quit me

I never set you free

Chorus

Show me the vein

Feeling no pain

Taking you higher

Caught in the vice

Rolling the dice

I'm taking you down

It can be still

Matter or pill

You're playing fire

Held by your chain,

You're going insane

I'm taking you down

Reflections in the mirror show

You are,

A face without a name

You're spinning on my carrousel

And you know you can't quit me

(No. No)

I'll never (never) set you free

Chorus

Show me the vein

Feeling no pain

Taking you higher

Caught in the vice

Rolling the dice

I'm taking you down

It can be still

Matter or pill

You're playing fire

Held by your chain,

You're going insane

I'm taking you down

Down..

Down..

Solo

You take me in your arms again,

You will

To still the beast inside

I know, you won't quit me. (I'm your Jesus)

I all that you believe

Chorus

Show me the vein

Feeling no pain

Taking you higher

Caught in the vice

Rolling the dice

I'm taking you down

It can be still

Matter or pill

You're playing fire

Held by your chain,

You're going insane

I'm taking you down

I'll show you the way

Feeling no pain

I'm taking you higher

You're caught in my vice

Rolling the dice

I'm taking you down

Down, down, down..

LET IT FLOW

Open up the bag of 20-20 vision, then I close my eyes

The animation of my senses,

helps me see your image in the sky

We can feel the pleasures of the... rain

If you want to come in from the... rain

Drifting through an open room,

colors that just makes me want to sleep

Awaking and, much to my surpise,

you're there and lying next to me

We can hear the song the ocean.. sings

Holy water baptize me, from.. sins

I'm letting go

Let it flow

We can be high again

Just let it go

Feel the flow

A journey that never ends

Invitation, to ride our shining star tonight

Take my hand and we can fly away

Celebration, promised moment of this night

There will be a better way

Solo

We can fly away

(Oh) I'll take you to a place so far away

Solo

Invitation, to ride our shining star tonight

Take my hand and we can fly away

Celebration, promised moment of this night

There will be a better way

Solo

EMPTY SOUL

The open road is calling

I'm heading for the setting sun

I couldn't help but thinking,

What the world was running from

Seems everybody's running

Everybody's hoping,

They're gonna get it right

Cause everybody wants it

Everybody's holding on,

just a little too tight

Chorus

So we gotta try,

Looking inside...

It's been a long time

You gotta try

And ask yourself why

But take it easy...

It's alright

Cause the things that you want,

You gotta leave them behind 

Cause you've already got,

what you're trying to find

the hours they been passin'

I pulled off for a bite to eat

And when the waitress asked me,

"hey man, what'll it be" (Whoa)

I said "everybody's hungry,

Everybody's tryin' to fill an empty soul

And even though they know it,

Everybody's holding on,

When they oughta to let go

Chorus

So we gotta try,

Looking inside...

It's been a long time

You gotta try

And ask yourself why

But take it easy...

It's alright

Cause the things that you want,

You gotta leave them behind 

Cause you've already got,

what you're trying to find

Solo

Cause everybody wants it

Everybody's holding on,

just a little too tight

(Just a little)

Chorus

So we gotta try,

Looking inside...

It's been a long time

You gotta try

And ask yourself why

But take it easy...

It's alright

Cause the things that you want,

You gotta leave them behind 

Cause you've already got,

what you're trying to find

OCTOBER MORNING WIND

Leaves begin that color change

Kiss the ground like falling rain

I hear the distant howl begin

The cold October morning wind

The seasons come,

And they wither like a dying rose

My pain is measured,

By a sky that's old and grey

A misty morning,

I awake to find it's much too late

Pieces of time,

they keep falling down on me

Chorus

And it won't be long

I can hear your song

October Morning Wind

I keep holding on,

'til you come back again

The sun that's hiding once again

It's warmth is like a long lost friend

Picture's fading in my mind

Memories of a young boy's life

The weeping willow,

By the lake where we could run and play

Lost all it's magic,

It's become a ghost in time

The seasons came,

And they left,

Tell me where they've gone

Pieces of my life,

They keep falling down on me

Chorus

And it won't be long

I can hear your song

October Morning Wind

I keep holding on,

To the fading sun,

'til you come back again

And it won't be long

October Morning Wind

Solo

And it won't be long

I can hear your song

October Morning Wind

I keep holding on,

To the fading sun,

'til you come back again

I can hear your song,

And it won't be long

October Morning Wind

I keep holding on,

'til you come back again

October morning wind

GET OFF MY CLOUD

Train me and degrade me,

But you keep me within your reach

Love me as you hate me,

New practising what you preach

Chorus

Get off my cloud

My life's just fine without you

Get of my cloud

Your world is on the ground

Throw me away,

How can you be so stupid

There's no room up here, anyway

Judge me they you hang me,

never hearing one word I said

Only get confusing,

of the thoughts you put in my head

Chorus

Get off my cloud

My life's just fine without you

Get of my cloud

Your world is on the ground

Throw me away,

How you can be so stupid

There's no room up here, anyway

And now you're falling,

Falling,

Back where you belong

Yes, you're falling,

Crawling,

Back where you belong

Solo

Chorus

Get off my cloud

My life's just fine without you

Get of my cloud

Your world is on the ground

Throw me away,

How you can be so stupid

And now you're loosing

Get off my cloud

Get off my cloud,

why don't you go away

Get off my cloud,

I've got no doubts about you

And I'll be fine without you

TANGERINE

Intro

Hold my candle, love for Julie

In the mind I feel the charms

I can smell rosy water

Guess it's time to know the bounds

Life ain't always black and white,

Kalidescopes are coloring my way

(Make pictures of wrong and right)

My signature is written with your saints

Chorus

Can you tell me what it means

Searching for my tangerine

I can't find my tangerine

Holy water, bag of mojo

Cross my fingers, say a prayer

Burn the incense, kissing sunshine

Tie a feather in your hair

It can be what it want's to be

I close my eyes,

And see through the end

I hear the words screaming in my head

The melody is flowing from my pen

Chorus

Can you tell me what it means

Searching for my, tangerine (Yeah)

almost never heard or seen

I can't find my tangerine

Solo

It can be what it want's to be

I close my eyes,

And see it in the air

Chorus

Can you tell me what it means

Searching for my, tangerine (Yeah.. yeah)

It's almost never heard or seen

(No, it's never heard (It's never seen. Now)

I can't find my tangerine

Solo

Find my tangerine...

ROBIN'S SONG

Is there something I could say,

to make you change your mind

Never thought I'd have to write this song (I was wrong)

When I see you on the streets,

I see it in your eyes

Your love is gone,

My long was wrong

I hope you find the things you said you need

I'm just dying here 'cause it's not me

Chorus

Do you think about me,

Smile without me,

I can't stand this pain without you

Did somebody steal your heart away

Do you love without me,

Cry about me,

Do you feel this pain that I feel

You're the only one to mend my heart

Everybody gives a smile,

And says to let you go

I don't know if I can be that strong

When you call me on the phone,

It hurts to say goodbye

My friend is gone

'cause my love was wrong

I hope you find the things you need

I've been cryin' here 'cause it's not me

Chorus

 Do you think about me,

Smile without me,

I can't stand this pain without you

Did somebody steal your heart away

Do you love without me,

Cry about me,

Do you feel this pain that I feel

You're the only one to mend my heart

Everybody give a smile and says to let you go

I don't know if I can be that strong

When you call me on the phone

It hurts to say goodbye

My friend is gone

'Cause my love was wrong

I hope you find the things you need

I've been crying here 'cause it's not me

Did you realy feel the way you told me

Did you cry those tears or were you only joking

Do you think about me,

Smile without me,

I can't stand this pain without you

Did somebody steal your heart away

Do you love without me,

Cry about me,

Do you feel this pain that I feell I guess

Somebody stole your heart from me

Color you in shades of blue,

I live for every tear you cry

Wanting you, I worship you

Can't you see for you I'd die

Pre-Chorus

Don't know it, can't feel it

You don't see it, but I'd do it,

I'd do it, I'd give it all...

Chorus

For you

For you

For you

For you

In my head shades of red,

Burning cold behind my eyes

You're the drug that kills the pain

That eats a hole,

Right through my life

Pre-Chorus

Chorus

And late at night,

I lie awake,

There is no peace,

You're in my dreams

I can't escape
