One Two Three

One two three
The bossman and the pauper
The priestman and the fool
All seem to know my name
And they're crying to be paid
I'm back to the battle
If it blows my mind away
The crush goes on
The crush goes on
One two three
The passion and the politics
The nightlife and the news
It all turns me 'round
It all wears me down
I'm back to the battle
If it blows my mind away
The crush goes on
The crush goes on
One two three
The nightmares and the visions
The pleasure and the pain
This all comes for free
This all comes to me
I'm back to the battle
If it blows my mind away
The crush goes on
The crush goes on
One two three

The Bomber Field
03:37
|

At night I hear them sing
A restless rustle of the eagle's wings
These birds of prey they stalk the sky
In the in heat of the day, in the blink of an eye
This part of things is real
The voice of the heavens in steel
A reminder in these nuclear days
You get a lot of muscle for the pennies you pay
Death on, death on high
Death on, death on high
I stood and watched the bombers arrive
Low to the ground in flights of five
They split the sky, they shook the ground
At the touch of a button, at the speed of sound
This part of things is real
The voice of the heavens in steel
A reminder in these nuclear days
You get a lot of muscle for the pennies you pay
Death on, death on high
Death on, death on high
At night I hear them sing
A restless rustle of the eagle's wings
These birds of prey they stalk the sky
In the in heat of the day, in the blink of an eye
This part of things is real
The voice of the heavens in steel
A reminder in these nuclear days
You get a lot of muscle for the pennies you pay
Death on, death on high
Death on, death on high
Death on, death on high
Death on, death on high

Absolution
03:11
|
|||
Happiness is what you lack
It's sold and you can't buy it back
And your face tells a twisted tale
Of the lies and the lust and all the things for sale
Absolution
Throw your past away
Absolution
Begin again today
You're not nearly done and in need of rest
Your heavy heart is beating beneath your aching chest
Your mind is racing like the clouds beneath the moon
It's almost September and the cold is coming soon
Absolution
Throw your past away
Absolution
Begin again today
Between your failures and your future, your laughter and your screams
You are walking by the wayside in a land of dying dreams
You've been tempted and been tempered, made to cry and made so strong
You are passing by the place you have looked for for so long
Absolution
You can ask for help
Absolution
Can you forgive yourself?

January
04:02
|

We were standing in the sun
We were waiting for the warm
I went to the mountaintop
The world was crumbling while I watched
Things can never be the same
I was calling out your name
And they say, yes they say
January is the coldest month of them all
Here I look from side to side
There I see a distant fire
Give me a place to hide
While they build their funeral pyres
Things can never be the same
I was calling out your name
And they say, yes they say
January is the coldest month of them all
Of them all
We were standing in the sun
We were waiting for the warm
I went to the mountaintop
The world was crumbling while I watched
Things can never be the same
I was calling out your name
And they say, yes they say
January is the coldest month of them all
Of them all
Of them all
Of them all

A Thousand Times
01:52

You can break my heart a thousand times
But I'm giving you all my love
You can take me apart a thousand times
But I'm giving you all my love
You can wreck my life a thousand times
But I'm giving you all my love
You can make me cry a thousand times
But I'm giving you all my love
Oh it's such an angry world
Oh you're such an angry girl
You can break my heart a thousand times
But I'm giving you all my love
You can take me apart a thousand times
But I'm giving you all my love
You can wreck my life a thousand times
But I'm giving you all my love
You can make me cry a thousand times
But I'm giving you all my love
Oh it's such a lonely world
Oh don't be so lonely girl
Oh it's such an angry world
Oh you're such an angry girl
You can break my heart a thousand times
But I'm giving you all my love
You can take me apart a thousand times
But I'm giving you all my love

My Prima Donna
03:45
|
|||
She came to me on my deepest darkest night
She gave to me a gift of love in life
It's a miracle - she makes me whole
It's a miracle - and I think she knows
It's a miracle - she's got this glow
My prima donna
Yeah it's a material world
Yeah she's my material girl
She keeps me 'round
She takes me down
It doesn't matter
She's been around the block a time or two
She gets around, but not around to you
She's a heartbreaker - she'll make you cry
She's a heartbreaker - and I'll tell you why
She's a heartbreaker - with a secret smile
My prima donna
Yeah it's a chemical world
Yeah she's my chemical girl
She keeps me 'round
She takes me down
It doesn't matter
She keeps me well and I think I'm going to stay
She treats me well - how could I go away
This woman of mine - she makes my day
This woman of mine - has no games to play
This woman of mine - takes my breath away
My prima donna
Yeah it's a rock 'n' roll world
Yeah she's my rock 'n' roll girl
She keeps me 'round
She takes me down
It doesn't matter

The Modern Rules of Love
04:38
|
|||
Who will understand when you hurt inside?
Who will hold your hand when you start to cry?
Mom and Dad have left you on your own
They've separated - now you have to face the world alone
It used to be so easy, but the rules of love have changed
It's a brand new game - see it's all been rearranged
You'll never know your family and you could lose your dignity
You better learn to play by the modern rules of love
Married young in life - it's a perfect union
Husband and his wife - love has just begun
But you grow tired of your perfect mate
One day you get home early - someone's taken up your place
It used to be so easy, but the rules of love have changed
It's a brand new game - see it's all been rearranged
You'll never know your family and you could lose your dignity
You better learn to play by the modern rules of love
There's no instructions for this brand new game
The only winners are the few who keep from going insane
It used to be so easy, but the rules of love have changed
It's a brand new game - see it's all been rearranged
You'll never know your family and you could lose your dignity
You better learn to play by the modern rules of love

Time Remembers
03:54
|
|||
Looking back at the future
And remembering the past
Just asking for more time to be a fool
And wondering why it won't last
The man who saw the future said
"change your mind and look ahead"
The man who saw the future said...
Time remembers when love was ours to choose
Time remembers - no time to lose
Time remembers how lies concealed the truth
Time remembers the haze of youth
Listening to the tales of warning
While considering the chance
Just asking for more time to learn the rules
And yearning for one last dance
The man who saw the future laughed
"you needn't fear the winding path"
The man who saw the future laughed...
Time remembers when love was ours to choose
Time remembers - no time to lose
Time remembers how lies concealed the truth
Time remembers the haze of youth
The man who saw the future said
"change your mind and look ahead"
The man who saw the future said...
Time remembers when love was ours to choose
Time remembers - no time to lose
Time remembers how lies concealed the truth
Time remembers the haze of youth

I Must Be Dreaming
03:54
|
|||
I close my eyes and go to sleep
As darkness slowly covers me
The night is falling
A voice is calling
I must return to a dream
I must be dreaming
I must be dreaming
The world around me is new
I must be dreaming
I must be dreaming
It seems so real - is it true?
I don't know why - I don't know when
I slowly enter REM
A voice is laughing
The waves are crashing
A nightmare comes to an end
I must be dreaming
I must be dreaming
The world around me is new
I must be dreaming
I must be dreaming
It seems so real - is it true?
The sunlight falls upon my face
I slowly stir where I lay
The morning breaking
As I'm awakening
I must return to the day
I must be dreaming
I must be dreaming
The world around me is new
I must be dreaming
I must be dreaming
It seems so real - is it true?

Sky Falling Down
03:11
|
|||
I see the sky is falling down
I see the sky falling down
I see the clouds weeping now
I'm filled with pain
And this night's filled with rain
Won't it wash me away
Wash me away
Away from here
I taste the rain on my lips
So strange but it tastes like your kiss
I wish I could drown
While this rain's kissing down
Won't it wash me away
Wash me away
Away from here
I see your face in my mind
And I wish I could leave you behind
I'm bleeding inside
Like this rain from the sky
Won't it wash me away
Wash me away
Away from here

I'm so tired
I'm so tired
She dragged me to the solid ground
She swam back out to sea and drowned
She cried for me to save myself
She could not care to save herself
Five days and nights I blew and burned
I lost my wings, I fell to earth
This thing has a hold on me
And this thing drags you down
I'm so tired
I'm so tired
It's a kick in the head, it's a shot in the arm
And they say it won't do any harm
But it's a message of death on a sharp angry wire
A desperate rush, an untended fire
Stoked by green burning out of control
I've lost so much may god save my soul
This thing has a hold on me
And this thing drags you down
I'm so tired
I'm so tired
Do you remember me?
Has your heart been hardened? Do your eyes still see?
You came as an angel, my heart to mend
And I won't lose you to this devil's friend
The things I do and the words that I say
I tried so hard but you're farther away
This thing has a hold on me
And this thing drags you down
It's bigger than the both of us

Bittersweet
03:23
|

Blue oceans in your eyes
I’m drowning as I fall
Sweet star fields in your eyes
I’m not prepared at all
Sometime last summer
You came in the night
Ending my slumber
You walk in the light
Hey, hey - you’re consecrated
Hey, hey - I’m at your feet
Hey, hey - you’re complicated
Hey, hey - you’re bittersweet
There's magic in your eyes
And I’m beneath their spell
There's laughter in your eyes
And secrets you don’t tell
Sometimes they hold me
They hold me tonight
Even when they scold me
I know it’s alright
Hey, hey - you’re consecrated
Hey, hey - I’m at your feet
Hey, hey - you’re complicated
Hey, hey - you’re bittersweet
Run with me
Why won't you come with me
Are you not one with me
Just take my hand
Grey storm clouds in your eyes
No shelter from the rain
Between the fire and ice
Are things you can’t explain
Sometimes you mend me
The healing is dear
Sometimes you defend me
Your meaning is clear
Hey, hey - you’re consecrated
Hey, hey - I’m at your feet
Hey, hey - you’re complicated
Hey, hey - you’re bittersweet
