Deck chairs, rearrange 'em 'range 'em
String band, keep on playing playing
There's ice up ahead
All engines full-steam ahead
I feel like dancing dancing
On your worldwide grave
Where's the party at in this old town?
Black tuxedo, blood-red wedding gown
Zombie gameshow always bringing me down
Where's the party at?
Oooo it's the last door down
Last call, no one's listenin' listenin'
Don't stop, I've got the vision within
The night is still young
We might not make it till dawn
I feel like dancing dancing
On your worldwide grave
Where's the party at in this old town?
Black tuxedo, blood-red wedding gown
Zombie gameshow always bringing me down
Where's the party at?
Oooo it's the last door down
Auf wieder-zehn
My friends hit the street
Like Calamity Jane
Nothing new to do
No modern Champlain
Drunk-dial your ex
We'll get cold tea and Chinese
Where's the party at in this old town?
Black tuxedo, blood-red wedding gown
Zombie gameshow always bringing me down
Where's the party at?
Oooo it's the last door down
Where's the party at?
Oooo it's the last door down
I feel like dancing dancing
I feel like dancing dancing
I feel like dancing dancing
On your worldwide grave - Track Name: All You Are To Me
-
Got a rip-chord heart
Stratosphere or crash out
Love that sweet grenade
Throw me clear
We'll both blow sky
Trip on your live wire
You can turn me out
Make my head a whirlwind
Your little hands on fire
Take me there
Your heartbeat beacon
The sound I'm seekin'
One in a million
Takes you over
I turn you on
The way we're falling under
I could be near you
All the rest of my days
An absolution
The hand of fate, a state of grace
This is all you are to me
Your television eyes
X-ray spy libido
Seven ways to die
Seal my lips your kisses bleed me
Voracious feeling
One in a million
Takes you over
I turn you on
The way we're falling under
I could be near you
All the rest of my days
An absolution
The hand of fate, a state of grace
This is all you are to me
You can turn the night to day
Make me whole
Nothing lasts forever so I'm told
I don't care what they say
We make our own fate
Baby tell me what do you say?
Are you with me tonight
Tonight
One in a million
Takes you over
I turn you on
The way we're falling under
I could be near you
All the rest of my days
An absolution
The hand of fate, a state of grace
This is all you are
All you are to me, to me - Track Name: Young Love
-
What you do to my head
Ooooh you're so young
Burning and bright, bursting with life
All I crave
Takes a second to say
Babe let's run away
Fast as the wind, right out of your skin
Do you feel the same?
They say we don't understand
But I know
We've got to hold on
Hey young love
Hey young love
Feel I'm coming alove
Heartbeat phoenix fire
Holding your hips, your jubilee lips
I just can't let go
You say you're full of the night
I'll drink you and spill the wine
So much to say, don't care anyway
Let's go to bed
They say love will tear us down
A cold fire
Well I'm burning for more
Hey young love
Hey young love
Hey young love
Hey young love
I don't know how to say goodbye
We'd both break down and die
You know I want you
There's a riot in my head tonight
Violence, dread and suicide
When I'm with you you make me quiet
So quiet
They say we don't understand
But I know
We've got to hold on
They say love will tear us down
A cold fire
Well I'm burning for more
Hey young love
Hey young love
Hey young love
Hey young love - Track Name: Fastest of the Losers
-
Take my hand, we're both better forgotten
As summer slinks past stranger eyes
Win, place or show, it's the people you know
Give up so easy
We only surrender to ourselves
You and I the fastest of the losers
So ahead of our time
You and I the fastest of the losers
We're flying blind tonight
Feather trees lift me up to your window
Motionless like a golden sun
It's easy to give what you can't hold on with
Until it's over
The delicious speed of the night
You and I the fastest of the losers
So ahead of our time
You and I the fastest of the losers
We're flying blind tonight
Close your eyes but don't lose sight
Don't turn off your light tonight
I need to see you hold you one more time
Don't turn off your light tonight
I need to see you hold you one more time
I lost the plot, the page is turned, the chapter over
I do my jacket up and run
A cat on a roof walking silent aloof
Calls come on over
Is there emptiness never done?
You and I the fastest of the losers
So ahead of our time
You and I the fastest of the losers
We're flying blind tonight
Close your eyes but don't lose sight - Track Name: Temptation Lies
-
Temptation lies between us
A picture book thrown open
On your bed in summer time
I hear the kids down on the street
They're playing shinny in July
The radio, the hall-clock ticking
Indelible your breath so close to mine
A wave collapsing
In slow motion
That's can't be real
Strange attraction, superstrings
Space and time don't mean a thing
Inside you
A bolt of blue
Our worlds colliding
Falling in, into you
Yes it's true I'm a dreamer
Most at home in my own mind
You take me on and make me shiver
I'd do anything my senses stretched and wild
A new constellation
You above me
Closing in
Strange attraction, superstrings
Space and time don't mean a thing
Inside you
A bolt of blue
Our worlds colliding
Falling in, into you
Touch the earth, the cold blue sky
So far below us, a diamond eye
Through your window cars go
Clouds blow by
We pay no mind
We're travellers trapped in our own time
Strange attraction, superstrings
Space and time don't mean a thing
Strange attraction, superstrings
Space and time don't mean a thing
Inside you
A bolt of blue
Our worlds colliding
Falling in, into you - Track Name: Wheels Come Off
-
Ten long years making a master plan
Each detail sheer perfection
No way I'd fail
Call you from the station
The stars are all aligned
Blind chance and circumstances
The past a pointless crime
It's a call
We give it all tonight
Fall down here
In my bed so weary
We'll hold back the night
I can't let go
Or lose control
But you break me apart
Like a trail derailed in the dark
The wheels come off
I built this heart-shaped shield
To draw your fire to me
Highlight the target takedown
Or prove I can't be found
But you tear
Through each barrier I lay in your way
Fall down here
In my bed so weary
We'll hold back the night
I can't let go
Or lose control
But you break me apart
Like a train derailed in the dark
The wheels come off
Pretend this is a game
But you and I don't play the same way
Wrestle with the shame
But nothing matters when we're together
On this mattress our world torn and tattered
But I don't care I'll testify and proclaim
The way, the way you are
Fall down here
In my bed so weary
We'll hold back the night
I can't let go or lose control
But you break me apart
Like a train derailed in the dark
The wheels come off
The wheels come off
The best laid plans of such a foolish man - Track Name: Desdemona
-
Take me out on a razor blade
In your eyes a knife-edge flashing, so betrayed
You oughtta know love comes and goes
Like a river flows and dies
Is this endless or just today?
Desdemona, you know you broke my heart
Desdemona, or did I start the war?
Desdemona, it's only love that brings us down
There was a girl in the falling rain
There was a boy without a name
They found each other and swore it all would change
And now we know it's all for show
As the stage-lights fade we're standing stock-still
So afraid
We could end this, or start again, again
Desdemona, you know you broke my heart
Desdemona, or did I start the war?
Desdemona, it's only love that brings us down
Just one chance, just one chance
Just one chance, just one chance
Is this endless?
Desdemona, you know you broke my heart
Desdemona, or did I start the war?
Desdemona, it's only love that brings us down - Track Name: The Visible Man
-
I can see you
You can't see me at all
You think you know me
That's just make-believe
I'm crawling 'round your door
To grab a little more
Weak with hunger I'll eat you alive
I'm visible, tension physical, a live wire
You're insatiable, fierce and dazed with desire
A little love is just enough tonight
I got your number
I see you got mine too
Watch us circle
Like tigers in a zoo
Don't know why I have to try it's a flame
I didn't catch your name
The chase is cut as we strut face to face
I'm visible, tension physical, a live wire
You're insatiable, fierce and dazed with desire
A little love is just enough tonight
A thousand faces take their place on the floor
Babe yeah the music's divine
All the girls and boys wrapped up like Christmas toys
I'll open you up and take you home
Let me take you home
We can really see what we're meant to be
What's underneath all this urgency
Who we really are
I'm visible, tension physical, a live wire
You're insatiable, fierce and dazed with desire
A little love is never enough
But I'll take what I can get tonight
Oh baby can't you see
My visibility is a lie - Track Name: Charge!!
-
We are the golden ones
We are the chosen sons
Make your kingdom come
Die fast, live long
Every day gonna sing my song
I don't care no more
It's never been fair or pure
Played, betrayed and cast away
Wasted and deranged for sixty-seven days
We are the golden ones
We are the chosen sons
Oh baby get your gun
Die fast, live long
Every day gonna sing my song
Every dog has its day
Every part of this great and faceless machine
Crippled by the weight of an unjust fate
As the riverbanks rise I just wanna get laid
We are the golden ones
We are the chosen sons
Make your kingdom come
So defiant, self-reliant
We are the golden ones
We are the chosen sons
The revolution won
Take a picture
This work of fiction
Celebrate all you underdogs - Track Name: The Real Heart
-
I'm searching for the real heart
Hiding in the heart of the world
I'm never gonna rest now
It calls my name
I know you came for the action
I know you came to forget yourself
A simple act of oblivion
Well maybe we can disappear
Maybe we can disappear
I'm searching for the real heart
The one that beats in time with the sun
The face that covers the moon yeah
Knows everyone
There's crisis in the air tonight
Phantom fear and deceit
The horsemen ride 'cross a blood-red sky
I think I can smell the beast
Don't you want to kill the beast
I'm searching for the real heart
There's no division in me
Got down on my knees and prayed yeah
And now I see
No Buddha came laughing answers
No Jesus bled for my pain
Now I look God in those deathless eyes
Now I see we're all the same
Now I see we're all the same
I'm searching for the real heart
The blood that flows between us in space
So much love can surround you
Just call my name
Just call my name
Just call my name - Track Name: I Will Not Be Saved
-
You can buy me
You can sell me
You will never know who I am
Call my actions
Inane distraction
What remains cannot be changed
Makes me human
Go ahead send your prayer
To whistle 'round the tower
The hours can all be braved
The power will one day fade
And I will not be saved
I fight my demons
I keep them breathing
I like to bleed to see the proof I'm alive
I might fall down
I might be hauled down
But the choice is mine to climb back up again
Go ahead send your prayer
To whistle 'round the tower
The hours can all be braved
The power will one day fade
And I will not
I will not be saved
Your my witness
My accomplice
We have done this so many times before
We walk the darkness
It's in our heart's bliss
Seeking shadow lanes
To claim a crown of thorns
Go ahead send your prayer
To whistle 'round the tower
The hours can all be braved
The power will one day fade
Don't cower or be afraid
If truth is what we crave
It's will that makes us brave
And I will not
I will not
I will not be saved - Track Name: The Defiant Ones
-
No way home
The crossroads they came
And they showed me the way
They faded before I could see
Once we were whole
But it feels like a dream
That fades with the rain
Chill morning that beats on the glass
A face from the past
Turn your back
Just leave me alone
With the blood on the floor
My footsteps will stain every door
Through which I pass
I've paid for my crimes
And served a lifetime
I can't forget all I've done
I've laid at your feet
And I've prayed for relief
But nothing can change what I feel
The cold steel of love
We've made our bed
Now let's sleep for all time
Drown our sorrows with wine
Forget there was even a word
Forget
I've paid for my crimes
And served a lifetime
Can't change the man I've become
I've laid at your feet
And I've prayed for relief
There's no breaking these bonds
No release
From the cold steel of love - Track Name: Atlantic City
-
They blew up the chicken man in Philly last night
Blew up his house too
Down on the boardwalk they're getting ready for a fight
Gonna see what them racket boys can do
There's trouble bussing in from out of state
And the D.A. can't get no relief
Gonna be a rumble out on the promenade
The gambling commissioner's hanging
By the skin of his teeth
Everything dies baby that's a fact
And everything that dies some day comes back
Put your makeup on, your hair up pretty
Meet me tonight in Atlantic City
Well I got a job and put my money away
Got debts that no honest man can pay
So I took what I had from the central trust
Got us two tickets on that coast city bus
Everything dies baby that's a fact
And everything that dies some day comes back
Put your makeup on, your hair up pretty
Meet me tonight in Atlantic City
Luck may have died, love may be gone
With you forever I will stay
We're going where the sand's turning to gold
So put on your stockings baby
The night is getting cold
Your so beautiful
And I just feel old
Well I'm looking for a job
They're hard to find
Just winners and losers
Don't get caught on the wrong side of that line
Tired of coming out on a losing end
Last night I met a guy
And I'm gonna do a favour for him
A favour for him
Everything dies baby that's a fact
And everything that dies some day comes back
Put your makeup on, your hair up pretty
Meet me tonight in Atlantic City
