Dead Ahead


Signs Of Departure

The signs of departure were outlaw red
Needed someplace where I could clear my head
Understood the message I was ready to go
Reved my engines and I'm out the door
Been away but I'm coming back
Been away but I'm coming back

A lot of tight turns on a neon trip
Down into the corridors of '66
Flash dogs pasted in magazines
More to life than anywone sees

Yeah, has-beens, could-be, might-have-beens
Going down the drains of false pretense
Finally got the message and it's making sense
The grass is green on both sides of the fence


One World

We were matched in pairs on the tail of the comet's streak
We never knew it then it was you and me
And as we flew to earth we were split into the wind
It was you who held the guiding light
One world, one voice, one girl, one choice
One world, one life, one chance to get it right
One world, one choice, one girl, one boy
One world, one night, one chance to get it right

There came a time when I could sense you even though
I had never met you before that day
Had you sent those thoughts to me I still don't know
Are you the mystery of long ago



An Occupation With You

Dead ahead through an open door
Dead ahead is there something more
Lately I'm in a situation
I'm so tired of anticipation
I'm finding myself in an occupation with you
Just you

Dead ahead you were in my way
Dead ahead it's the road I take
A lot of people think it's instrumental
For staying here with the fundamentals
To tell you the truth it's been accidental with you
Just you

Dead ahead it's the way I chose
Dead ahead baby, I don't know
Maybe it's a misunderstanding
Guess I'm in for another hard landing
All I've wanted was to be left standing with you
Just you


Dawning Of The Dead

It's a mystery I swear
The hand of fate is never fair
Life's a bullet that hunts you down
Throw caution to the wind
We fight up to the end
We're a voice in the crowd
Do you really wanna know
It's the dawning of the....

It's a rollercoaster ride
How does anyone survive
It's a murder of crows
We dare not to believe
Afraid of what we'll se
So far yet so slose
Do you really wanna know
It's the dawning of the....

Push the limits to the max
Exhausted and collapsed
Crash through the clouds
In a race with destiny
At a paralysing speed
Is there any way out
Do you really wanna know
It's the dawning of the....


Already Gone

Watched you dance inside the room
Underneath a dying moon
Why it's got to end so soon
Baby we're free
Just you and me
Already gone, I'm already gone

Orphans on the avenue
Never thought we'd make it through
I always knew that it was you

Don't know why I get so blue
Never lost my eye for you
Guess sometimes they come true


War Is Blind

Thunderbirds overhead
Crashing to the burning bed
Third world war machine
Armies that you never see
Down to the sky, down to the sky
Cut to pieces, war is blind

Damage on the Eastern Front
Don't know where it's coming from
Cities like suicide
Crumble underneath the tide

Threatened by the firestorm
Lying on the edge of war
If we don't heed the warning sounds
The black rain is coming down


Go My Way

Days are turning into years
Days we never thought we'd near
If I'm to be here till the end
Descend
I was always here beside you
Go my way

Close your eyes and think of me
In your dreams that's where I'll be
If I'm to be here till the end
Descend
I was always here beside you
Go my way


On And On

The night was covered in a patterned light
Baby, can't you see the clouds
Put my head on the platter there
Wishing they would cut me down
I fought the fiends I've been through that
Am I the only one
Baby please recover me
Before I burn out the sun
We go on and on, on and on
On and on 'til everything's gone

I fell down into the tunnel
Baby, I can't see the light
It was in the way that you came to me
Just a little too high
We fled into the borders then
With nowhere left to go
Can't you see there's a part of me
I never wanted you to know

Slipped back into surrender
No one ever gets away
Took the steps down to the depths
Pressed the iron gate
All my thoughts came back to you
Back to where we've been
Thought somehow you'd leave me here
But--I was wrong


The 99's

We are the ravens of darkness
The spies who come in from the cold
We'll never see tomorrow
We're never gonna get that old
We're the cornerstone tomboys
Waitin' on a dead end street
We're the 1st ones into battle
The last ones to retreat
We lead desperate lives
We are the 99's

We are the innocense lost
The defiants, the broken denied
We're the best kept secret
In a world where no one survives
We're the scream in the silence
The sinners, the saints of the beat
We're the misjudged, the begrudged
The faces that nobody sees

We are your social imperfections
Accept us for what we are
We are the dark side in mourning
We're never gonna show our scars
We've been pierced by your arrows
We've been pierced in steel
You've tried to break our spirit
But you never will


All Sold Out

Rules of management have never been clear
Are we as disgusted as we try to appear
We are the war baby generation
People we know can't figure us out
Caught in a web of uncertain doubt
We're always closed to their invitations
Oh, oh, oh do you want me
Oh, oh, oh do you need me
Oh, oh, oh I'm all sold out

Sooner or later everybody knows
Our darkest secrets are being exposed
We're on trial for the execution
Broken homes and broken dreams
Living a life way above our means
We're the problem not the solution

We don't talk about it anymore
It mattered once but that was before
We are the art of gravitation
There ain't nothing left to pull us through
Defend the lies but they ain't the truth
We're gonna wake up in a cold room


In The Waiting

Childhood dreams...make believe
Nothings gonna braek your heart
Those who wait soon discover
Everything falls apart
Baby I was so naive
Thinking I could brave the cold
Just get me out of here
Before we both turn too old
Tell me why, why's it gotta take so long
( I'm in the waiting, in the waiting for you

Please don't take that part of me
I never wanted to give away
Run me through the things we do
I just need a reason to stay
Far away to a vacant room
Where I can still see the shore
Close my eyes to a candle burning
Knowing you will lock the door

Don't disappear, don't leave me here
Waiting for the curtains to fall
Show me how you need me now
And nothing else matters at all
We've been down this road so long
Hangin' on a twisted turn
We should be the first ones to know
We're never too old to learn
