| Black Moon Everyday I see a new cloud coming There's one more hole in space Everytime I walk across the street I feel the gas blowing in my face We never learn even deserts burn And all politicians lie They won't do nothin' 'Till we reach high noon Black Moon Ain't nobody gonna walk on water When it falls like acid rain Nobody gonna fake you out Every poison stains We're all stuck here Right in the middle We never call the tune If we don't get active We'll become immune Black Moon In the night see the red sky burning There's fire on the mountain Oil slicks on the sea Black Moon is rising How long will it be You take a look around the world The future never waits We're skating on the thin ice And we're in the hands of fate What we need's a little re-direction To find our blue lagoon You know it wouldn't come A moment to soon Black Moon |
Paper Blood Livin' on a razor's edge Sharper than a knife Surrender to the power of wedge Keep running for your life You don't need no periscope You won't need second sight It'll come at you so fast my friend It's thank you and goodnight Caught in the river You can't stop the flood Well that's the power of money Paper blood Ambition flies on silver wings Searching for a crown King of kings they pull the strings Untill they run you down No matter what you've undergone The measure of success Is how much you can charge it on American Express Caught in the river You can't stop the flood That's the power of money Paper blood You don't need to drive a car And you don't need a house And you don't need a guiding star When living like a mouse In the presidential suite They'd rather see you burn Ducking and diving Just to make ends meet To the point of no return Caught in the river You can't stop the flood That's the power of money Paper blood |
| Affairs Of The Heart She looked at me across the room Emerging from a silk cocoon Along beneath Venetian chandeliers Against the moon her body rocks Her eyes were cunning like a fox The wings of passion fly on all frontiers From this fire there's no returning No escape your heart is burning Love becomes a lethal weapon No one is to smart In affairs of the heart Now upon the bridge she waits Dreaming of our tangled fates Her face was like a ghost with eyes of jade I fell just like a falling star A victim of this coup d'etat I could not see behind this masquerade From this fire there's no returning No escape your heart is burning Love becomes a lethal weapon Be careful where you start In affairs of the heart Sometimes I think I'll never learn Were all those promises in vain Do the wings of fire still remain All is fair in love and war The tender draw the shortest straw Like autumn leaves they vanish in the air Is this the time we say goodbye I call her room there's no reply Tonight we end this fleeting love affair From this fire there's no returning No escape your heart is burning Love becomes a lethal weapon Sharper than a dart In affairs of the heart |
Farewell To Arms In this our life on Earth Another dawn we face Is this the moment of truth For the whole human race Is that the last man down Is that the last life laid to waste We must find in our hearts Each and every dream we've misplaced Before Heaven cries tears On the mountain we climb Farewell to arms Rest in peace May the rain of freedom be released Farewell to arms We just can't walk away We're all sharing this Earth at the end of the day So when the cold wind bites And the mad dogs speak However dark is your night Just keep turning your cheek 'Cause when the last shot's fired It is then the world will be free And still we are asking Just how long will it be Though we're blown by the crosswinds We stand like a tree Farewell to arms Rest in peace May the rain of freedom be released Farewell to arms We just can't walk away We're all sharing this earth at the end of the day Down this road we've wandered for so many years With every step we take We can tear down all frontiers Make no mistake Farewell to arms Rest in peace May the rain of freedom be released |
| Burning Bridges Miles away The light in the distance looks miles away Tired of resistance and turned away Going back to the Holy land Last night your anger was born again Carry the torch in your heart And your anger on the vine Still buried in your pride And when the morning sighs And when the rains fall dry Scarring the mountainside They burn the bridges down And when the laughter dies Can't you see beyond the lines Waving the last goodbye Gonna burn these bridges down Home again Marching in circles, we're home again Carry the torch in your heart And your anger on the vine Still buried in your pride And when the morning sighs And when the rains fall dry Scarring the mountainside They burn the bridges down And when the laughter dies Can't you see beyond the lines Waving the last goodbye Gonna burn these bridges down |
Better Days I was walking on this station I could see somebody lying on a chair I went over to him I said, hey man, what are you doing there And he said***** have you got a smoke I said you'd better come in out of the rain Before you get yourself soaked No one can feel inside How deep the oceans, heartaches hide So stand on me, I'll catch you falling You can stand on me and I'll help you find a way Stand on me, I can see our ship turning Stand on me, we're sailing on the wind of better days And they accuse you when you're over and out Ulterior motives, that's what it's all about It's just human nature, they try to make you flinch But we're takin' the higher ground inch by inch No one cal feel inside How deep the oceans, heartaches hide So stand on me, I'll catch you falling You can stand on me and I'll help you find a way Stand on me, I can see our ship turning Stand on me, we're sailing on the wind of better days And if you tumble when the snowflakes fall (This is a jungle, it's not a waterfall) From where you're standing you can't get no change They keep moving the target clean out of range |
| Footprints In The Snow First time when you looked at me You tried to hide but I could see A special beauty in your eyes Passion flying like a spark Like an arrow to the mark I feel it sting my jealousy Before you know there's footprints in the snow Desire like a river flows Where it comes from no one knows Love just like a flower grows And then God only knows It comes down like guillotine Now I feel the rain of love torn by a hurricane One night eclipsed the sun How deep still waters run How deep they go like footprints in the snow Take my love into your brest Commit my spirit to the test You will see him like a knight His armour gleams We'll fly upon his angel's wings Above the clouds in rainbow rings We can sail a ship of dreams If you will take my hand We can cross this desert made of sand We can break in through the ice And feel the wind of paradise We'll feel it blow our footprints in the snow Anytime you feel alone Just raise your hand, pick up the phone Tap in my number, there I'll be If one day your stars won't shine I will give you some of mine Cause they could fall so easily If you will take my hand We can cross this desert made of sand We can break in through the ice And feel the wind of paradise We'll feel it blow our footprints in the snow |
