TO THE MOON
AND BACK
She's taking her time making up the reasons,
To justify all the hurt inside. Guess she knows
from the smiles and the look in their eyes.
Everyone's got a theory about the bitter one.
They're saying "Mama never loved her much"
and
"Daddy never keeps in touch",
that's why she shies away from human affection
But somewhere in a private place
She packs her bags for outer space
And now she's waiting for the right kind of pilot to
come
And she'll say to him ; (she's saying)
I would fly to the moon and back
If you'll be...
If you'll be my baby.
Got a ticket for a world where we belong.
So would you be my baby?
She can't remember a time when she felt needed,
if love was red then she was color blind.
All of her friends they've been tried for treason,
and crimes that were never defined.
She's saying "Love is like a barren place,
and reaching out for human faith
is like a journey I just don't have a map for."
So baby's gonna take a dive,
push the shift to overdrive.
Send a signal that she's hanging all her hopes on the
stars.
(What a pleasant dream) I would fly to the moon and
back
If you'll be...
If you'll be my baby.
Got a ticket for a world where we belong.
So would you be my baby?
"Mama never loved her much" and "Daddy
never keeps in touch",
that's why she shies away from human affection
But somewhere in a private place
She packs her bags for outer space
And now she's waiting for the right kind of pilot to
come
And she'll say to him ; (she's saying)
I would fly to the moon and back
If you'll be...
If you'll be my baby.
Got a ticket for a world where we belong.
So would you be my baby yeah?
I WANT YOU
Anytime I need to see your face I just close my eyes
and I am taken to a place where your crystal mind
and magenta feelings take up shelter in the base of my
spine
sweet like a chicacherry
cola.
I don't even try to explain I just hold on tight
and if it happens again I might move so slightly
to the arms and the lips and the face
of the human cannonball that I need to I want to.
Come stand a little bit closer Breath in and get a bit higher
You'll never
know what hit you When I get to you
Ooh I want you
I don't know if I need you
But ooh I'd die to find out Ooh I want you I don't know
if I need you But ooh I'd die to find out
I'm the kind of person who endorses a deep commitment
Getting comfy getting perfect is what I live for
But a look and then a smell of perfume
It's like I'm down on the floor and I don't know what
I'm in for
Conversation
has a time and place
In the interaction of a lover and a mate
But the time of talking Using symbols using words
Can be likened to a deepsea
diver who is swimming
with a raincoat
Come stand a little bit closer
Breathe in and get a bit higher
You'll never know what hit you When I get to you
Ooh I want you
I don't know if I need you
But ooh I'd die to find out Ooh I want you
I don't know if I need you But ooh I'd die to find out
Anytime I need to see your face I just close my eyes
and I am taken to a place where your crystal mind
and magenta feelings take up shelter in the base of my
spine
sweet like a chicacherry
cola.
I don't even try to explain I just hold on tight
and if it happens again I might move so slightly
to the arms and the lips and the face
of the human cannonball that I need to I want to.
Ooh I want you
I don't know if I need you
But ooh I'd die to find out Ooh I want you
I don't know if I need you But ooh I'd die to find out
TRULY MADLY
DEEPLY
I'll be your dream,
I'll be your wish,
I'll be your fantasy. I'll be your hope,
I'll be your love,

I'll love you more with every breath Truly Madly
Deeply Do.
I will be strong,
I will be faithful,
'cause I'm counting on
a new beginning,
a reason for living,
a deeper meaning yeah.
I want to stand with you on a mountain
I want to bathe with you in the sea
I wanna lay like this
forever until the sky falls down on me.
And when the stars are shining brightly in the velvet
sky
I'll make a wish send it to heaven, and make you want to cry;
the tears of joy for all the pleasure in the certainty
that we're surrounded by the comfort and protection of
the highest powers,
in lonely hours the tears devour you.
I want to stand with you on a mountain
I want to bathe with you in the sea
I wanna lay like this
forever Until the sky falls down on me
Oh can you see it baby? You don't have to close your
eyes,
'cause it's standing right before you
all that you need will surely come.

I want to stand with you on a mountain
I want to bathe with you in the sea I wanna lay like this forever
until the sky falls down on me.
I want to stand with you on a mountain
I want to bathe with you in the sea..
TEARS OF
PEARLS
And we stare each other down like victims in the
grind,
probing all the weakness and hurt still left behind.
And we cry the tears of pearls We do it ... oh we do
it.
Is love really the tragedy the way you might describe?
Or would a thousand lovers still leave you cold
inside?
Make you cry these tears of pearls All these mixed
emotions
we keep locked away like stolen pearls Stolen pearl
devotions
we keep locked away from all the world
Your kisses are like pearls, so different and so rare
But anger stole the jewels away and love has left you
bare.
Made you cry the tears of pearls Well I could be the
tired joker,
pour my heart to get you in
Sacrifice my happiness just so I could win.
Maybe cry these tears of pearls All these mixed
emotions
we keep locked away like stolen pearls Stolen pearl
devotions
we keep locked away from all the world.
We twist and turn where angels burn,
like fallen soldiers we will learn
That once forgotten twice removed
Love will be the death, the death of you.
UNIVERSE
Well I'd like to take you as I find you,
imagine our clothes are on the floor.
Feel my caress so soft and gentle,
so delicate you cry for more. But you know baby,
you know baby does it right And you know baby does it
right.
Universe inside of your heart
You gotta let me know so you
can be free baby.
You wanted it so much, and now that it's over
you don't know what you want. (Put time in a capsule
Two minds consensual
Entwinded to pefection
If we could...)
Cuddle up close,
lay on my chest now.
Listen my heart beat's coming down.
If you get
tired you close your eyes now,
when you wake up I won't be found. 'Cause I know baby,
I know you're the nervous kind.
With so much going on in your mind.
Universe inside your heart
You gotta let me know so you
can be free baby
You wanted it so much,
and now that it's over
You don't know what you want. But let me tell you that,
this time, I'm
going to make you mine
(I wont let you go)
'Cause I know,
this time, I'm
going to make sure I look out for me.
'Cause you know baby, you know baby does it right.
And you know baby does it right.
You will only end up lost in lonliness,
and wake up with the words already on your lips;
So I'll let you go, baby, so I'll let you go...
Universe inside your heart
You gotta let me know so you
can be free baby.
You wanted it so much, and now that it's over
You don't know what you want.
CARRY ON
DANCING
The moonlight shines down interstellar beams.
And the groove tonight,
is something more than you've ever seen.
Stars and planets taking shape,
a stolen kiss has come too late. In the moonlight
Carry on, keep romancing Carry on, carry on dancing
In the moonlight
Carry on, keep romancing Carry on, carry on dancing
You're never safe 'till you see the dawn
And if the clock strikes past
The hope is gone
To move under - The moonlight
Carry on, keep romancing Carry on, carry on dancing
In the moonlight
Carry on, keep romancing
Carry on, carry on dancing
(Move - Closer - Passion - Stronger)
There's a magic only two can tell. In the dark night
ultra violet is a wicked spell. Stars and planets
taking shape,
a stolen kiss has come to late. In the moonlight
Carry on, keep romancing Carry on, carry on dancing
In the moonlight
Carry on, keep romancing
Carry on, carry on dancing Moving on - Moving all night.
VIOLET
( the color inside your head)
If there's a way that you could be everything you want
to be,
would you complain that it came to easy?
Just like the games,
with you and me,
a resolution hard to see. But that's ok
'cause I don't see things that are plain to see.
I've got a dream to take you over
Exploding like a supernova I'm gonna
crash into your world
And that's no lie
You want to give,
ecstasy delivered with certainty.
But you're afraid that the pleasure won't be needed.
In a way,
we're the same two people looking out to sea,
for a wave that would carry all our fantasies.
If there's a way to infiltrate you
Sway your mind and complicate you
I'm gonna crash into your
world
And that's no lie
Let your body move into the doorway
To the disco inside your head (Violet)
Wear a color that you want to cling to
The color inside your head (Violet)
Contemplate jealousy, intermixed with urgency.
A million things, take a damned good shot at you and
me.
If there's a way to infiltrate you
Sway your mind and complicate you
I'm gonna crash into your
world
And that's no lie
Let your body move into the doorway
To the disco inside your head (Violet)
Wear a color that you want to cling to
The color inside your head (Violet)
I'm gonna take you I'll do my best to break you
I'm gonna take you
higher And that's no lie
Common sense,
is a game, many people don't like
to play.
But give it in and the moment takes you either way.
I've got a dream to take you over Exploding like a
supernova
I'm gonna crash into your
world And that's no lie
Let your body move into the doorway
To the disco inside your head (Violet)
Wear a color that you wnat
to cling to
The color inside your head (Violet)
If there's a way that you could be everything you want
to be,
Would you
complain that it came to easy?
In a way,
we're the same two people looking out to sea
For a wave,
that would carry all our fantasies.
BREAK ME
SHAKE ME
I never thought I'd change my opinion again,
but you moved me in a way that I've never known.
You moved me in a way that I've never known.
But straight away you just moved into position again.
You abused me in a way that I've never known,
you abused me in a way that I've never known.
So break me shake me
hate me take me over
When the madness stops
then you will be alone
Just break me shake me
hate me take me over
When the madness stops then you will be alone
So you're the kind that deals with the games in the
mind?
Well you confuse me in a way that I've never known,
you confuse me in a way that I've never known.
So break me shake me hate me take me over
When the madness stops then you will be alone
Just break me shake me hate me take me over
When the madness stops
then you will be alone
She says, "I can help you, but what do you
say?"
But it's not for free baby, you'll have to pay.
You just keep me contemplating, that your soul is
slowly fading.
God don't you know I live with a ton of regret?
'Cause I used to move you in a way that you've never
known,
but then I accused you in a way that you've never
known.
But you hurt me in a way that I've never known.
Break me shake me hate me take me over
When the madness stops then you will be alone
So won't you break me shake me hate me take me over
When the madness stops
then you will be alone
Listen, baby You'll be, you'll be alone.
Break me shake me
hate me take me
make me fake me break me shake me
hate me take me Break me.
A THOUSAND
WORDS
We stumble in a tangled web,
decaying friendships almost dead.
And hide behind a mask of lies.
We twist and turn and we avoid,
All hope of salvage now devoid.
I see the truth inside your eyes.
So take all this noise into your brain
Send it back again
I'll bear the cost,
shed my skin
Call you up and then -
(I'll say the words out loud.)
You could resurrect a thousand words
To deceive me
more and more
A thousand words will give the reason why
I don't need you
anymore.
Well, time manipulates your heart.
Preconceptions torn apart.
begin to doubt my state of mind.
But I wont go down on what I said,
I won't retract convictions read,
I may perplex, but I'm not blind.
So take all this noise into your brain
Send it back again
I'll bear the cost,
shed my skin
Call you up and then -
(I'll say the words out loud.)
You could resurrect a thousand words
To deceive me
more and more
A thousand words will give the reason why
I don't need you
anymore. I'll say the words out loud,
I'll say a thousand words or more.
(Manipulation - Fabrication - Conversation - Annihilation)
I'll say a thousand words or more
(Damnation - Frustration - Elevation - Procreation)
I'll say a thousand words or more.
You could resurrect a thousand words
To deceive me
more and more
A thousand words will give the reason why
I don't need you
anymore.
You could resurrect a thousand words
To deceive me
more and more
A thousand words will give the reason why
I don't need you
anymore.
PROMISES
Well don't you know I need a little indulgence?
Listen to the hunter becoming hunted.
Every day there's a million advances,
don't be too forceful, you'll ruin your chances.
Well don't you know that time is a broken glass
that splinters against the wall?
But the picture is coming back now baby,
and I want to take it all. Don't go making all these promises
you know you
cannot keep There's a time to play a king
and a time to be the thief.
'Cause if you're making all these promises
you know you cannot keep you know time will be the
thief
and your fallen king will end up alone.
So let you're body move a little bit closer.
Silent like the sound proceeding a cyclone.
Don't you know that powerful thinking
can be a force you don't want to relinquish?
Well don't you know that,
they say that hanging on will justify the wait?
But patience and elated wisdom don't share a common
phrase.
Don't go making all these promises you know you cannot
keep
There's a time to play a king and a time to be the
thief.
'Cause if you're making all these promises
you know you cannot keep You know time will be the
thief
and your fallen king will end up alone.
Well, I'm only hanging on for what goes down.
I'm floating high and my feet don't touch the ground.
I'd take advantage,
but I can't see through this charade.
So don't you, don't go make it harder than hell.
'Cause when it comes down to the making,
you better be damned sure you can take it,
hey baby.
Well don't go making all these promises
you know you cannot keep There's a time to play a king
and a time to be a thief
'Cause if your making all these promises
you know you cannot keep
You know time will be the thief
and your fallen king will end up alone.
Time will be the thief and your fallen king will end up -
A fool, a fool,
a lonely sorry fool.
Oh baby, 'cause I told you baby.
In
the lazy streets so undemanding.
I walk into the crowd.
In
the coolest places on the promenade.
Where people dress just so; beauty so unavoidable.
Everywhere you turn, it's there.
I sit and wonder;
what am I doing here?
But on the telephone line
I am anyone, I
am anything I want to be.
I could be a supermodel, or Norman Mailer,
and you wouldn't know the difference.
Or would you?
In
like Jake or Mandy.
And modern bodies too
In
You'll have to dodge those in line skaters;
or they'll knock you down. I've never felt so lonely,
never felt so out of place.
I've never wanted something more than this.
But on the telephone line I am anyone,
I am anything I want to be. I could be a supermodel,
or Norman Mailer,
and you wouldn't know the difference.
See, on the telephone line
I am any height,
I am any age,
I want to be. I
could be a caped crusader,
or space invader,
and you wouldn't know the difference.
Or would you?

HOLD ME
Hey If we can't
find a way out of these problems
Then maybe we don't need this
Standing face to face
Enemies at war we build defences
And secret hiding places
I might need you to hold me tonight
I might need you to say it's all right
I might need you to make the first stand
Because tonight I'm finding it hard to be your man
Hey More than
angry words I hate this silence
It's getting so loud
Well I want to scream
But bitterness has silenced these emotions
It's getting hard to breathe
So tell me isn't happiness
Worth more than a gold and diamond ring?
I'm willing to do anything
To calm the storm in my heart
I've never been the praying kind
But lately I've been down upon my knees
Not looking for a miracle
Just a reason to B
I might need you to hold me tonight
I might need you to say it's all right
I might need you to make the first stand
Because tonight I'm finding it hard to be your man
Do you remember not long ago?
When we used to live for the night-time
Cherish each moment
Now we don't live we exist
We just run through our lives So alone
That's why you've got to hold me
Hey If we can't find a way out of these problems
Then maybe we don't need this
Standing face to face
Enemies at war we build defences
And secret hiding places
I might need you to hold me tonight
I might need you to say it's all right
I might need you to make the first stand
Because tonight I'm finding it hard to be your man
I KNEW I
LOVED YOU
Maybe it's intuition
But some things you just don't question
Like in your eyes
I see my future in an instant
And there is goes
I think I've found my best friend
I know that it might sound more than a little crazy
But I Believe
I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life
There's just no rhyme or reason
Only this sense of completion
And in your eyes
I see the missing pieces
I'm searching for
I think I've found my way home
I know that it might sound more than a little crazy
But I believe
I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life
A thousand angels dance around you
I am complete now that I've found you
I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life
THE BEST
THING
Never want to fly
Never want to leave
Never want to say what you mean to me
Never want to run
Frightened to Believe
You're the best thing about me
Sometimes I feel like this is only chemistry
Stuck in a maze searching for a way to
Shut down turn around feel the ground beneath me
You're so close where do you end where do I begin?
Always pushing and pulling
Sometimes sanity takes vacation time on me
I'm in a daze stumbling bewildered
North of gravity head up in the stratosphere
You and I roller coaster riding love
You're the center of adrenaline
And I'm beginning to understand
Never want to fly
Never want to leave
Never want to say what you mean to me
Never want to run
Frightened to Believe
You're the best thing about me
Walk on broken glass make my way through fire
These are the things I would do for love
Farewell peace of mind kiss goodbye to reason
Up is down the impossible occurs each day
This intoxication thrills me
I only pray it doesn't kill me
Never want to fly
Never want to leave
Never want to say what you mean to me
Never want to run
Frightened to Believe
You're the best thing about me
You're the center of adrenaline
And I'm beginning to understand
You could be the best thing about me
Never want to fly
Never want to leave
Never want to say what you mean to me
Never want to run
Frightened to Believe
You're the best thing about me
You could be the best thing about me
What if you're the best thing about me?
CRASH &
BURN
When you feel all alone
And the world has turned its back on you
Give me a moment please to tame your wild wild heart
I know you feel like the walls are closing in on you
It's hard to find relief and people can be so cold
When darkness is upon your door and you feel like
you can't take anymore
Let me be the one you call
If you jump I'll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn
You're not alone
When you feel all alone
And a loyal friend is hard to find
You're caught in a one way street
With the monsters in your head
When hopes and dreams are far away and
You feel like you can't face the day
Let me be the one you call
If you jump I'll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn
You're not alone
Because there has always been heartache and pain
and when it's over you'll breathe again
You'll breathe again
When you feel all alone
And the world has turned its back on you
Give me a moment please
To tame your wild wild heart
Let me be the one you call
If you jump I'll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn
You're not alone
CHAINED TO
YOU
We were standing all alone you were leaning in to
speak to me
Acting like a mover shaker dancing to Madonna then you
kissed me
And I think about it all the time
Sweet temptation rush all over me
And I think about it all the time
Passion desire so intense I can't take anymore because
I feel the magic all around you
It's bringing me to my knees
Like a wannabe
I've got to be chained to you
And when you looked into my eyes felt a sudden
sense of urgency
Fascination casts a spell and you became
more than just a mystery
And I think about you all time
Is this fate is it my destiny
That I think about you all the time
I no longer pretend to have my hand on the wheel
because
I feel the magic all around you
It's bringing me to my knees Like a wannabe
I've got to be chained to you
I feel the magic building around you
I feel the magic all around you
It's bringing me to my knees Like a wannabe
I've got to be chained to you
And I think about it all the time
And I think about it all the time
Tell me it's madness
I barely know you
We were standing all alone you were leaning in to
speak to me
Ten steps back you're still a mystery
Acting like a mover shaker dancing to Madonna then you
kissed me
I can't take anymore because
I feel the magic all around you
It's bringing me to my knees
Like a wannabe
I've got to be chained to you
I feel the magic building around you
I feel the magic all around you
It's bringing me to my knees
Like a wannabe
I've got to be chained to you
Tell me it's madness
I barely know you
THE ANIMAL
SONG
When superstars and cannonballs are running
through your head
Television freak show cops and robbers everywhere
Subway makes me nervous people pushing me too far
Got to break away so take my hand now because
I want to live like animals Careless and free like animals
I want to live
I want to run through the jungle the wind
in my hair and the sand at my feet
I've been having difficulties keeping to myself
Feelings and emotions better left up on the shelf
Animals and children tell the truth they never lie
Which one is more human? There's a thought
now you decide
Compassion in the jungle
Compassion in your hands
Would you like to make a run for it?
Would you like to take my hand?
I want to live like animals
Careless and free like animals I want to live
I want to run through the jungle the wind
in my hair and the sand at my feet
Sometimes this life can get you down
It's so confusing there's so many rules to follow
But I don't feel it because I just run away in my mind
When superstars and cannonballs are running
through your head
Television freak show cops and robbers everywhere
Animals and children tell the truth they never lie
Which one is more human there's a thought now you
decide
Compassion in the jungle Compassion in your hands
Would you like to make a run for it?
Would you like to take my hand? I want to live like animals
Careless and free like animals
I want to live
I want to run through the jungle the wind
in my hair and the sand at my feet
THE LOVER
AFTER ME
Here I go again I promised myself
I wouldn't think of you today
It's been seven months and counting
You've moved on
I still feel exactly the same
It's just that everywhere I go all the buildings
know your name
Like photographs and memories of love
Steel and granite reminders
The city calls your name and I can't move on
Ever since you've been gone
The lights go out the same
The only difference is
You call another name
To your love To
your lover now
To your love
The lover after me
Am I all alone in the universe?
There's no love on these streets
I have given mine away to a world that didn't want it
anyway
So this is my new freedom It's funny
I don't remember being chained
But nothing seems to make sense anymore
Without you I'm always twenty minutes late
Ever since you've been gone
The lights go out the same
The only difference is
You call another name
To your love To
your lover now
To your love
The lover after me
And time goes by so slowly
The nights are cold and lonely
I shouldn't be holding on
But I'm still holding on for you
Here I go again
I promised myself
I wouldn't think of you today
But I'm standing at your doorway
I'm calling out your name because I can't move on
Ever since you've been gone
The lights go out the same
The only difference is
You call another name
To your love To
your lover now
To your love
The lover after me
TWO BEDS AND
A COFFEE MACHINE
And she takes another step
Slowly she opens the door
Check that he is sleeping
Pick up all the broken glass and furniture on the
floor
Been up half the night screaming now it's time to get
away
Pack up the kids in the car
Another bruise to try and hide
Another alibi to write
Another ditch in the road
You keep moving
Another stop sign
You keep moving on
And the years go by so fast
Wonder how I ever made it through
And there are children to think of
Baby's asleep in the back seat
Wonder how they'll ever make it through this living
nightmare
But the mind is an amazing thing
Full of candy dreams and new toys and another cheap
hotel
Two beds and a coffee machine
But there are groceries to buy
And she knows she'll have to go home
Another ditch in the road You keep moving
Another stop sign
You keep moving on
And the years go by so fast
Wonder how I ever made it through
Another bruise to try and hide Another alibi to write
Another lonely highway in the black of night
But there's hope in the darkness
You know you're going to make it
Another ditch in the road Keep moving
Another stop sign
You keep moving on
And the years go by so fast Silent fortress built to last
Wonder how I ever made it
YOU CAN STILL
BE FREE
Cool breeze and autumn leaves Slow motion daylight
A lone pair of watchful eyes Oversee the living
Feel the presence all around A tortured soul
A wound unhealing No regrets or promises
The past is gone
But you can still be free
If time will set you free Time now to spread your wings
To take to flight
The life endeavour
Aim for the burning sun You're trapped inside
But you can still be free If time will set you free
But it's a long long way to
go Keep moving way up high
You see the light
It shines forever
Sail through the crimson skies The purest light
The light that sets you free If time will set you free
Sail through the wind and rain tonight You're free to fly tonight
And you can still be free If time will set you free
And going higher than mountain tops
And go high the wind don't stop
And go high
Free to fly to tonight
Free to fly tonight
