1. Fast Strike
Fast Strike:
You always know how to get me off my feet
When I'm so tired my spirit is dragging
You always know what it takes to make me scream
Even when the silence could be golden
You always know how to get me wired
Even if I'm all depressed
You hit me square in the face and knock me down
I know I ain't seen nothing yet
Fast strike - You make a fast strike
You make a fast strike - Yes you do
Fast strike - You make a fast strike
You make a fast strike - Yes you do
You always know how to pick me up
Even though I'm pushed around
You get me high, you get me high
We ain't never coming down
You always know how to make me feel alive
Even when I'm dead in space
Take me on your mystical trip
We gotta get outta this place
Fast strike - You make a fast strike
You make a fast strike - Yes you do
Fast strike - You make a fast strike
You make a fast strike - Yes you do
You always know how to get me off my feet
When I'm so tired my spirit is dragging
You always know what it takes to make me scream
Even when the silence could be golden
You always know how to get me wired
Even if I'm all depressed
You hit me square in the face and knock me down
I know I ain't seen nothing yet
Fast strike - You make a fast strike
You make a fast strike - Yes you do
Fast strike - You make a fast strike
You make a fast strike - Yes you do
2. Don't Forget about me
Don't Forget About Me:
Lost in the grace that I thought you had given to me
Only to be taken away without a second thought
Plastic Jesus on the wall you're staring down at me
Wondering how I could ever let this all go wrong
All I really have is me
And I'm trying to be strong
All I really have is me
And I'm trying to hold on
Can't you see me raise my hands in a desperate sign
While all that you can do is just wave goodbye
How can you just turn and walk away from me
Leaving me down here reaching out for you one last time
All I really have is me
And I'm trying to be strong
All I really have is me
And I'm trying to hold on
I know that you understood, well I understand
That I can't be near you like I could before
You do anything you want, do anything you please
Just don't don't don't you forget about me
All I really have is me
And I'm trying to be strong
All I really have is me
And I'm trying to hold on
3. In my Skin
In My Skin:
Lived with this pain for far too long
Wasted away everything is gone
Nothing out here but a useless shell
Nothing to fear right here is my hell
Gave me choice I'm gonna use it now
Give me the mask I'll put it on
Show me the valve I'll turn it on
Don't try to tell me that I'm doing wrong
'Cause you've not lived in my skin
All my dreams vanish in the haze
Long empty nights and endless days
You gave me a voice you better listen
Yeah, yeah
Give me the mask I'll put it on
Finally go where I belong
Don't try to tell me it hasn't been so long
'Cause you've not lived in my skin - c'mon
Give me the mask I'll put it on
Show me the valve I'll turn it on
Don't try to tell me that I'm doing wrong
'Cause you've not lived in my skin
Lived with this pain for far too long
Just let me go I'm already gone
I'd sell my soul to end it all
Give me the mask I'll put it on
Finally go where I belong
Don't try to tell me it hasn't been so long
'Cause you've not lived in my skin
Give me the mask I'll put it on
Show me the valve I'll turn it on...
4. Horses and Angels
Horses and Angels:
Don't remember much but I woke laughing
You were just watching never speaking not saying a word
Outside the snow falls, but it's warm here where we're laying
Time flying too fast while the souls slowly fade away
Mama used to tell me about horses and angels
And dreams so real, you'd swear that you could fly
What's the point you keep saying all I hear are the angels singing
As they shine their lights down on you making halos above your head
Lately I been praying this time that you'll be staying
Even though I'm holding tight, you've already slipped away
Mama used to tell me about horses and angels
And dreams so real, you'd swear that you could fly
Mama used to tell me about horses and angels
And dreams so real, you'd swear that you could fly
Wise men and fools both swear that it's true
Well I'll take a little of each and throw away whatever I can't use
Mama used to tell me about horses and angels
And dreams so real, you'd swear that you could fly
Once upon a time there was horses and angels
And dreams so real we'd never ever have to die
5. I'll be Alright
I'll Be Alright:
I remember every line on your face I just can't remember your name
I miss you so much when you're not here, although I know it's just not the same
Sometimes I feel if I could just touch you, you know it'll be alright, alright
When will, when will it be over
Just let me know I'll be alright, I'll be alright
Never did like surprises, never did like goodbyes
Don't look at me with those tears, don't think of me with regret
Think of me with the birds and the flowers, think of me in a lover's sunset
And know please know the love I have for you, never ending never far away
Rolling on like the waves over the oceans
Always warm like the sun on your face
Never did like surprises, no no no
Never did like having to go away
When will, when will it be over
Just let me know I'll be alright, well I'll be alright
Never did like surprises, no no no never did like goodbyes
6. Me the Freak
Me the Freak:
Don't want to start a revolution
Didn't come here seeking absolution
Ain't no problem if you find a solution, hey, hey, hey
See - See the freak
Need - Need the freak
Be - Be the freak
Me - Me the freak
Look closely things aren't what you're seeing
Opened eyes can't always be believing
Ain't no reason to be doing all this grieving, hey, hey, hey
See - See the freak
Need - Need the freak
Be - Be the freak
Me - Me the freak
Life grows out of devistation
Hope battles anger and frustration
Humanity or desolation hey
Pain
7. Prayer for the Dying
Prayer for the Dying:
One more night alone looking at the moon
Wishing for things that will never come, never come
Bathed in the sweet blue-white light shining down
The embers of the silent night they fade away
And I don't want to be alone today
If it's gonna end it shouldn't be this way
I thought a lifetime was forever and a day
Now there isn't anymore time to save
I close my eyes and I'm falling down, falling down
Drifting to where the tide decides that I should be
Screaming inside but suddenly I have no choice
Surrendering seems to be my only choice
And I don't want to be alone today
If it's gonna end it shouldn't be this way
I thought a lifetime was forever and a day
Now there isn't anymore time to save
The soft rains falling down on my cheek
I've trained myself to enjoy it's touch and what it brings
The sky opens up it gives up what it has
It's taking over, it's taking over
And I don't want to be alone today
If it's gonna end it shouldn't be this way
I thought a lifetime was forever and a day
Now there isn't anymore time to save
No more time to save...
8. Early Warning
Early Warning:
Well here comes a sign of early warning crying out to me
Seems silly but I'm not really afraid
Must just be something going on in my head
That lets me look though I can't really see
Here comes a sign of trouble
Reaching out to me
Just another chance I'm willing to take
There's something going on, there's something going wrong
With me
My life is dragging it's slow motion then it's fast
Always a cure for the same old disease
Well I'm tied up, shackled up, L�KKED up to the past
And all I really wanted was a little piece of peace
Here comes a sign of trouble
Reaching out to me
Just another chance I'm willing to take
There's something going on, there's something going wrong
With me - Lookout
It's been so long, so long I can't remember
So many things, just seem to slip away
Feelings changing, constantly like crazy weather
I watch them go, I watch them go away
Well here comes a sign of early warning crying out to me
Seems silly but I'm not really afraid
Just another sign of trouble
Marching out to me
One more chance I'm willing to take
There's something going on,oh god there's something going wrong
With me
9. Another Lost Soul
Another Lost Soul:
See the girl with her dreams of gold
She see's her paradise on the screen
Win or lose she wants it all
And for her there's no in-between
See the boy with the leather on
He's gonna be the next James Dean
King of Hollywood there ain't no doubt
That he's the coolest you've ever seen
Another lost soul
Mister can you line 'em up again
You know I'm feeling kind of low
I lost my family I lost my friends
These streets are all I know
Sell your body to make a buck
To buy a needle and ease your pain
Another fix, another f**k
And you do it all again
Another lost soul
See the girl with her dreams of gold
She see'her paradise on the screen
Win or lose she wants it all
And for her there's no in-between
See the boy with the leather on
He's gonna be the next James Dean
King of Hollywood there ain't no doubt
That he's the coolest you've ever seen
Another lost soul
10. Beyond All
Beyond All:
All the times I wished for you to speak to me
A quick hello or maybe half a smile
Your eyes closed silently below me
Eternity in the space before you and I
What's on your mind, what's in your head
Perhaps a thought from years past fading
The smell of rain on a cool April's night
Or of you and I
Thought I could fake the strength
Maybe you wouldn't know
Beyond faith there is hope, beyond hope there is peace
Beyond peace there is I, beyond I there is we
Beyond all there is love
I've spent so long just praying
Blood on my knees, there's blood on my soul
Sometimes I wonder if anyone's listening
Sometimes I wonder the same about you
If I could take it all back you know I would
All the things I've said and just what I've done
My gift to you, my very last breath
In exchange for the unknown
Thought I could fake the strength
Maybe you wouldn't know
Beyond faith there is hope, beyond hope there is peace
Beyond peace there is I, beyond I there is we
Beyond all there is love
11. Hard Rain
Hard Rain:
Anger and outrage, same old situation
Quick to snap I always jump in blind
Go for the throat, I take no prisoners
Look deep inside, you won't like what you find
And I need a hard rain
To cleanse me - wash away my sins
I need a hard rain
To drown me in it's innocense
Attitude, I've got enough for everyone
I take my pride down with me, you watch as it falls
These high hopes shot down straight to hell
Must be a funny place, I'm laughing after all
And I need a hard rain
To cleanse me - wash away my sins
I need a hard rain
To drown me in it's innocense
And I need a hard rain
To cleanse me - wash away my sins
I need a hard rain
To drown me in it's innocense
Getting pushed to the edge and back I go
Falling down so low can't remember high
Feeling like a dead man walking
After all these years I thought I might be getting wise
I need, I need, I need a hard rain
12. Starman
Starman:
I'm not your god no matter how you look at me
I'm just a man not what you want me to be
I cry I bleed, I lust I need
Roll back straight to insane
I bury my demons deep down in alcohol
Try to get away but don't quite know how
Everyday much longer than the last
Good thing you can't see
When I look into the mirror
I see a man who's waiting
Always waiting for tomorrow
Maybe then I'll be saved
I give my life, I bleed for all of you
A glimpse inside, not who you thought you knew
I scream I thirst, I pray I hurt
Roll back straight to insane
Everyday another war for me to fight
Ask for God to keep me strong again tonight
It fades to black, not coming back
Good thing you can't see
When I look into the mirror
I see a man who's waiting
Always waiting for tomorrow
Maybe then I'll be saved
When I look into the mirror
I see a man who's waiting
Always waiting for tomorrow
Maybe then I'll be saved
