1. One More For The Road
Never been here before
But I'm coming back tomorrow
For the real pain
A cold rain again
Nice day for a crucifixion
Heard a new prediction
That we can all be saved
So I'll have
One more for the road
Oh, play it again
One more for the road
Never heard this before
That a child can tell who's evil
But it's a good thing
If we sing along
Cold day
We can make a fire
Burn another liar
Can witches ever die?
Hey let's burn
One more for the road
Oh gimme the same again
One more for the road
Well I've never been here before
And the room is really empty
But there's a big line waiting for the show
Nice day for an execution
Another wrong conclusion
But someone's got to pay
So let's burn
One more for the road
Oh play it again
One more for the road
There's a child who just sees evil
And a man who just loves pain
But I've heard that we can't save them
So gimme the same again
There's a cross that you can't carry
Cause it's heavier than hell
And if you should meet your maker
Just pray that he won't yell
One more for the road
One more for the road
Play it again
One more for the road
2. Master Of The Moon
And then you dream
Of a world with only windows
Inside you
You can hide you
You know
And then the night
You're just another empty shadow
No questions, no answers
No one to scream at you
Turn around and when you face the sun
We can make you be like everyone you know
Hey you, you're just master of the moon
And then the eyes
If you look at them they'll blind you
Who are you, what are you?
Why do you scream at me?
Turn around and when you face the sun
We can make you be like everyone you know
Hey you, master of the moon
We can shake you make you over
We just need some time to
Shed some light upon your darkness
We need your mind
And then you dream again
In a world that only you know
Inside you
You can hide you
No one to scream at you
Turn around and when you face the sun
We can make you be like everyone you know
I'll turn away and never face the sun
You'll never make me be like you
I'm master of the moon
3. The End Of The World
If I could sleep at night then somehow I'd see
Why everything's wrong
Or maybe it's just me
Does anybody know this place that I'm in
Why I might be alone
Imagination is a terrible thing
What if I'm wrong?
But here's what I've been thinking
It must the end of the world
Whatever happened to the rock 'n' roll song
Breaking your brain
Making you stronger
They say you never hear the bullet that kills
And I don't hear a sound
It's not about a change or revolution
What's gone today is still called substitution
Don't get emotional but we're out of time
The melody's gone
And fools have got the sunshine
If I'm mistaken and I see you again
Don't leave me alone
Maybe tomorrow could be the end of the world
Don't make wishes
Don't waste time
Call the ones you hate
You'd say I'm sorry but they'll have to wait
For the end of the world
Bye bye bye bye bye bye
4. Shivers
Fingers scratching blackboards
Make cowards of the brave
A natural reaction
From the cradle to the grave
Rats and bats and spiders
And little things that crawl
Never make me tremble
I'm not bothered, not at all
Then I saw you
Something new inside of me
What's this shaking
You made me shiver, shiver
Cemetery midnights, walking on the dead
Never seemed to matter
It's all inside your head
Names are only letters
Mentioned on the stone
And if you're going somewhere
You're going in alone
Then I saw you
Something new inside of me
Felt this shaking
You gave me shivers
Magic charms and voodoo
And all those other spells
Never made impressions
And I never slept so well
If I had a nightmare
I'm sure that I would know
I really don't remember
But I'm sure it isn't so
Then I saw you
Something new inside of me
What's this shaking?
Turn out the lights, it won't matter
A bucket of blood and I'm fine
A black cat's only a color
But you can do it every time
Time-time-time-time
5. The Man Who Would Be King
Bless me father, I must go away
To save us from the ones who don't believe
Confess me father I have sin
But maybe the angels really sing
For the man who would be king
We laugh at your religion, you people of the sand
We have no superstition, you can read it in our hands
Forgive me father for the change we bring
But it is all for the man who would be king
Don't leave a body standing, not the holy, not the small
Deliver us from the evil
If it yours we want it all
Lately father I've been wondering
Is the devil just the man who would be king?
How can right be ever wrong?
We are glory, we are stronger than you
We never got an answer
It's just too late to ask
The bloody flag was waving
Our hearts just ran too fast
Curse me father for the chains we bring
And don't believe the man who would be king
We never got an answer, the question slipped my mind
I've been so busy killing, I haven't found the time
6. The Eyes
Oh no, they're at it again, looking inside my secrets
Coming through the cracks before I mend the wall
Get out 'cause you're breaking the law
How did you ever find me?
Places I can hide can't get much smaller
I have invisible dreams where no one can touch me
Maybe I'll find a way to disappear
No one moves and no one dies
Just the eyes
I've run as fast as I can
Thinking that they'll never catch me
What a waste of breath, a waste of time
Feel like digging a hole, going in even deeper
Maybe they just can't see what just can't shine
I'll be lost so no goodbyes
If no one moves then nothing dies
Just the eyes
Oh no, they've done it again
Sending out the detectives
Searching for signs of life and that means me
In my invisible dreams when no one is watching
I'd make the whole world blind and I'd be free
I'll be lost so no replies
If no one looks then no one dies
Just the eyes
Those eyes
Magic numbers, even sacrifice, I can't find a way
'Cause nothing stops the eyes
Oh oh ooh - Oh oh ooh - Oh oh ooh
Oh oh ooh - Oh oh ooh - Oh oh ooh
Oh oh ooh - Oh oh ooh - Oh oh ooh
Oh oh ooh - Oh oh ooh - Oh oh ooh
Oh oh ooh - Oh oh ooh - Oh oh ooh
Oh oh ooh - Oh oh ooh - Oh oh ooh
Oh oh ooh - Oh oh ooh - Oh oh ooh
7. Living The Lie
When a million miles from nowhere
Is still too close to home
You're with a hundred thousand people
And you still feel all alone
She was never in the circle, or the round would be a square
And the more she seemed to want it, oh the less they seemed to care
Sold out and no admission
Too late to buy
It's never who, it's only why
She's living the lie, living the lie
When you're on your way to somewhere
But the elevator falls
Do you look for the stairs to heaven
Or wander through the halls
He was only dedicated to the ones who make the law
But they burned with too much fire
And his heart was made of straw
No ticket, no admission, too late to buy
It's always he and he knows why
He's living the lie, living the lie
How bad do you want it, how far will you go?
If you're looking at tomorrow
To forget about today
Then the past will be your future
And it's there you'll always stay
What about the pictures that smile from magazines
The ultimate temptation, all our kings and our queens
Such heat and too much pressure, not worth the try
No more for them, now it's I
And no more living the lie, living the lie
Oh why, live the lie
8. I Am
I think I'm through with just pretending
Knocking at the door that I've been through before
Congratulations, at last you've seen my light
Now it's you against the night
I think I'm never coming after, after all
Now I've become the cat who always lets you know that
I am, I am, stronger than the wind
I am, I am sin
I am, I am, stronger without you
I am
For all the words come unspoken
Silence isn't gold, or the story's never told
Investigation, at last I've found my light
And we shine
So now I'm like the cat who always tells you this, that
I am, I am, stronger than the wind
I am, I am sin
I am, I am, better without you
I am
I think I'm way outside illusion
Breaking down the door that locked me in before
Congratulations, now that you've seen my light
After all
And when I become the cat, I'll always let you know that
I am, I am, stronger than the wind
I am, I am sin
I am, I am, I am, stronger without you
I am
I am, oh I am, I am
I am everyone
I am, I am, better without you
I am
I am, I am, stronger than before
I am, I am more
I am, I am, I am, ready to go on
I am
9. Death By Love
One night when the stars were right for the gypsy queen
And she found she could drag you down
To a place that's in-between it all
She's a madman with a delicate hand and evil eyes
And I've heard she'll only say a word
And that's enough to satisfy
Don't ask why, don't even think about it
Brave men die but what a way to go
She's not above
Death by love
One spell from the wishing well
And you're never more
A bad start for the sacred heart
'Cause the end has come before the beginning
Knee deep in the darkest sleep But the eyes see all
So high you could break the sky And never feel the fall to come
Strong men die but what a way to go
She's not above
Death by love
Don't ask why
Don't even think about it
Brave men die but what a way to go
You've got symptoms of
Death by love
She's not above
Death by love
Don't ask why
Don't even guess about it
All men die but this is death by love
10. In Dreams
Help me
Save me
I've just crossed the line where reason might betray me
Wake me
Oh shake me
Send a message to my brain before they take me
How can I get through to you that wishes just come true
In dreams
Oh don't go
No don't dare
'Cause the journey drives you mad before you get there
Help me
Oh save me
I'll be glad to give you back the hand you gave me
How I can get through to you that wishes do come true
In dreams
In your dreams
If I'm a river then you're the sea
Somewhere you'll find me
Alone swimming here in the ecstasy
If I'm silence you must be scream
But I don't hear you
I'm in a place that I've just never seen before
No, don't go
You'll never save me
I've just slapped away that helping hand you gave me
Don't wake me
No, don't you shake me
Here's a message from my brain, you'll never take me
How can I get through to you that wishes do come true
In dreams
In my dreams
