Alarm bells ringing clear Break the calm before the fall Bad news travels at the speed of flight Good news not at all And here we are again Playing endless games of war Birds of prey Without a word of warning We dive in to attack Vengeful and self-righteous We turn the blue sky black And a wretched few escape Theyll be forever looking back At our sacrifice And the golden sun is rising At the dawn of a beautiful day In the name of all thats holy In the name of history In the face of life and nature We are driven by belief Our faith a crumbling fortress Once perfect and sublime Will fail again and rise again Until the death Until the death of time

You keep on moving Far away, far away You keep on moving Far away, far away Everyday wheels are turning And the cry still returning Dawn will soon be breaking The day has just begun You put your arms around me Like a circle around the sun Dance across the seasons To a place that no one knows Where angels fear to tread Dawn will soon be breaking The day has just begun You put your arms around me Like a circle around the sun Dance across the seasons To a place that no one knows Where angels fear to tread You keep on moving Far away, far away Everyday wheels are turning And the cry still returning
Im crying Im dying I can see whats wrong with me Its in my head I can see whats going to be As I lie in my bed Man is not my brotherhood I am of the dead I died as I lived as I loved and was born On some distant hill The reasons to hide were the reasons I cried Fools pass laughing still There can be bad blood in all I can see Its in my brain You dont know the pain I feel As I must live again Rocks and stones cant bruise my soul but Tears will leave a stain They smile to themselves as they lay down my head On some distant hill The blind and the child sweep a tear from their eye Fools smile as they kill I got my own way to go and now I want To take your minds I believe if you could see The blood between the lines I believe that you could be A better kind Please lead the way so the unborn can play On some greener hill Laugh as the flames eat their burning remains Fools die laughing still
Take the trouble to decide the things you do Will not be the things that dont appeal to you See the mess your making cant you see your faking Going to make it hard for you, youre going to--into the fire Turn on to the mandrake that was given to you See if you can make it like the others do Feel the blood a knocking when youre finger popping Going to make it hard for you, youre going into the fire Stop your bleeding mind before its over and done Listen very closely to the message Ive sung
Spread the word around The rat is leaving town The message is a song The misery is gone Once I had a dream To sing before the queen She didnt want to know She wouldnt see the show What a fright I couldnt do it right Oh what a night Mystic Demons fly All about the sky With memories of a clown The saddest show in town When I was seventeen My mother said to me Be careful what you touch You shouldnt take so much I blew my mind She was so kind I could have cried In my mind I had to find A kind of new way Of being oh so cool Like a blue blooded Well studded English fool Speak about the past Times are changing fast Once I was so weak I couldnt even speak Shaking out a curse Nothing could be worse Walking through the door Who could ask for more Now Im free And I can see And I can see Spread the word around The rat is leaving town The message is a song The misery is gone Now Im free And I can see And I am me Please stay away
No one sees the things you do Because I stand in front of you But you drive me all the time Put the evil in my mind Used to sing and say my prayers Live my life without a care Now I have become a fool Because I listened to the mule How can I change when my mind is a friend of a Lucifer hid in the ground Just another slave for the mule

The day is gone When the angels come to stay And all the silent whispers Will be blown away Lying in the corner A pair of high heel shoes Hanging on the wall Gold and silver for the blues One too many wasted sunsets One too many for the road And after dark the door is always open Hoping someone else will show Someone is waiting Behind an unlocked door Grey circles overhead Empties on the floor The cracks in the walls Have grown too long The slow hand is dragging on Afraid to meet the dawn One too many wasted sunsets One too many for the road And after dark the door is always open Hoping someone else will show

Hot summer night, the working girls were on their way back home It was getting late so I tagged along, couldnt let them walk alone I followed them up some greasy steps to a rooftop in the sky No walls around, just a sea of stars, my throat was getting dry Everyone could feel the heat thats why we all disrobed Our clothes and inhibitions went off flying cross the globe Dancing crazy, getting loose and closer to the edge I could feel my blood was up and it was pounding in my head So there I was, just me and the girls Under the moonlight on top of the world Oh yeah, on top of the world So there I was, just me and the girls Under the moonlight on top of the world As things were dying down we retreated from the precipice I lay beside the most beautiful girl in the universe Her name was Venus in Heaven She fed me rice and offered me wine I accepted ambrosia and nectar From an amber goddess I collapsed between the thighs of Morpheus Next thing I felt was a sharp pain at sunrise My mouth was open and full of rice As I managed to prize open one of my eyes I saw Luigi the cockroach carry off his prize And there lay Venus still sprawled out and naked for sure But not quite what she was the night before I made my excuses and left through the door Stepped into space at the twentieth floor And thats why I dont like heights no more
Tell me gypsy can you see me In your crystal ball Im asking you what can I do My backs against the wall And I cant hold on much longer So Ive come to you my friend For now my life seems at an end I came to see you once before One hundred years ago You took my hand and broke the spell That should have let me go But my years have gone so slowly So Im here again my friend For now my life is at an end

And love me right until the end? You know that fashion come and fashion go Melting like the summer snow I dont know what you see in me Some would say that were miles apart But when everything is said and done And the lights go down Were all the same, were all the same in the dark

Yeah Ooh, what a night it was The night I fell apart I begged a lover not to go away But she went and broke my heart I found myself in a Vegas bar With a whole new set of friends Seen through the bottom of an empty glass Like looking through a fisheye lens Oh, one night in Vegas It was a morning of revenge For what I did the night before Which accompanied me to the following day To even up the score In a stone cold sober mood The next afternoon at ten I found my tongue back in my mouth I told myself not to drink again Ah, one night in Vegas, ha ha Yeah, I was three sheets to the wind The three shots did me in Three angels there above me As I was lying on the floor I knew I should have run for the hills But I still wanted more I dont remember the chapel But I woke up with a wife I looked at her, she looked at me And now were hooked for life How strange the situation Its now been thirty years Since I met that girl in Vegas Would you believe it? And shes still here Oh, one night in Vegas, oh yeah I gotta tell you, oh, one night in Vegas Hey, one night in Vegas Oh yeah
When the night wind softly blows Through my open window Then I start to remember The girl that brought me joy Now the night wind softly blows Sadness to tomorrow Bringing tears to eyes so tired Eyes I thought could cry no more If the day would only come Then you might just appear Even though youd soon be gone When I reached out my hand If I could see you If only I could see you To see if you are laughing or crying When the night winds softly blow In my dark and whispering room Memories still bring me A numbness to my feelings Take my hand and brush my brow In the warm and fevered dark Heart was madly beating My crazy thoughts are worrying When the night winds softly blow If the day would only come Then you might just appear Even though youd soon be gone When I reached out my hand If I could see you If only I could see you To see if you are laughing or crying When the night winds softly blow If the day would only come Then you might just appear Even though youd soon be gone When I reached out my hand If I could see you If only I could see you To see if you are laughing or crying When the night winds softly blow

Who am I to say things may not all be what they seem? And how can I disturb the facts of life? And who am I to speak about the fabric of a dream? And whos to say that dreams cannot be right?

Burnishing the madness in my head And who am I to mention that before it all began Everything I heard was never said at all? Its the power of the moon The power Ah, its a green balloon that travels so benign On a path that goes along the shoreline Ah, its a green balloon that travels so benign Its the only thing thats keeping me in line Oh, the tides will rise and then they fall on time And everything on earth begins to rhyme

Roll me over slowly, Ive been drinking all night Help me, make a move, I cant stand the light Wake me, shake me, dont slam the door I havent been so bad, I just cant recall Spent the night chasing up a listed old flame Lying on the floor, I cant remember her name I cant stay here, theres something wrong here Whats going on here? Went downtown, had a long way to go How I got there, well I dont know Found myself sitting in a West side bar Tried to leave but I could not go far High class woman trying to give me a line Shouldve left early when I felt so fine I cant stay here, theres something wrong here Whats going on here? When they closed up the bar You know, they left me for dead I cant remember a thing, I said Must have called the police to take me away They said, Forty days, now Ive got to pay Spent the night chasing up a listed old flame Lying on the floor, I cant remember my name I cant get together while theyre messing with me Keep on looking around, tell me where can I be? I cant stay here, theres something wrong here Whats going on here?
Oh the beggar on his cornerstone Catches pity in his wrinkled hand But the lover whose bird has flown Catches nothing only grains of sand All the children in the distant house They have feelings only children know But the lover whose bird has flown Catches nothing only flakes of snow The sensation is not new to you Its something we all have known You get it - it goes right through you Yes its something we all have known And the bird it has flown To a place on its own Somewhere all alone Now the hermit in his lonely cave Has himself to keep him company But the lover whose bird has flown He has heartaches same as you and me The sensation is not new to you Its something we all have known You get it - it goes right through you Yes its something we all have known And the bird it has flown Now the hermit in his lonely cave Has himself to keep him company But the lover whose bird has flown He has heartaches same as you and me Oh its started snowing Yes, it started snowing

In a dark and sweaty room in sixty nine Tables turning Dancing girls, silly girls, all kinds of girls And it was loud Tuning up to madness in the back room Candles burning Present the stinking hippy And throw the naked thunder to the crowd Oh, in the hungry daze The long and lonely highway drags along Its going nowhere Sickness and disease and mad corruption Somethings going wrong The mountains getting cold and lonely The trees are bare We all came out to Montreux But thats another song Youve heard it all before In hungry daze Back in the hungry daze Back in hungry daze Back in hungry daze Ha! Along the mountain road to do some drinking And now were mobile again Different girls, laughing girls, forever girls And its so loud Crew have lost again Ah, they are beaten men The winning team united Living for the crowd These are the hungry daze These are These are hungry daze Hungry daze Oh, oh, oh, hungry daze Hungry daze These are the hungry daze Ah, hungry daze Ooh, hungry daze Hungry daze Hungry daze
Lucille, come back where you belong Oh, Lucille, come back where you belong I aint nothing to you, sing you such a beautiful song I woke up this morning, Lucille was not in sight I asked her friends about her but all their lips were tight Lucille, come back where you belong I aint nothing to you, sing you such a beautiful song
