Zephyr

Can you be the one
To help me understand myself?
The one and only one
Is it you and no-one else?
Can you shoot for things
That others only dream about?
Can you light the fire
When all my flames are dying out?

Can you be the one...
To tell me about my life
Tell me about my world
Tell me about your life
Tell me about your world

Don't look to the crowd
Aim above and out beyond
Leave the common ground
You never wanted to belong
The sky is open wide
Light the fuse and take a ride
Leave it all behind
Dig in deep and push aside

You know you're the one...
Tell me about my life
Tell me about my world
Tell me about your life
Tell me about your world

Shoot them down
They wanna drag you down
Got to see
They're your enemies...

Listen you can't even see
What this world has done to me
Done to me...

Burned

Looking for a taste of the honey
I'm wondering if it ever comes
You said when it comes to the honey
You gotta give it 'til you get some

You look like you got the answers
All I got's a handful of clues
It's too late for choice and reason
Let's do it like the chosen few

All you gotta do for me
Is open up and turn it on
All you gotta do for me
Is open up and turn it on

Closing all The Doors of deception
I'm out in the dirty air
I know there's only one direction
I'm gonna live it 'til I get there

You look like you got the answers
All I got's a handful of clues
It's too late for choice and reason
Let's do it like the chosen few

All you gotta do for me
Is open up and turn me on
All you gotta do for me
Is open up and turn it on

Turn turn turn it on...


Mirrorball

All the world is sleeping
I can't close my eyes
Watch the darkness deepen
One more time to die
I wanna be redeemed
I need a new surpriseFeeling good-for-nothing
Tastes like salt and rain
Feel the same as you
Say you feel the sameI got it, I got it good
On my white-knuckle ride
Oh yeah, if only I could
Get out the other sideFeels like a nightmare in my head
Feels like there's something going down
Feels like an earthquake in my mind
Feels like an earthquake...Helter skelter shelter
The freak show's inside
I'm a mirrorball
You're the guiding lightI got it, I got it good
On my white-knuckle ride
If only, if I could
Find somewhere else to hide

Rain On Me

Rain on me
I need you for my guide
Heading for the darkness
Death's eating me alive
Down on me
Sink me with that stuff
You can call it anything
But never call it love

Time I held this soul of mine together, together
Just don't stand there laughing when I call
Fly my heart and soul and mind together, forever
I don't want to be here when I fall

One last thing
Before we hit it off
Don't you leave me stranded out there
Washed up on the rocks
Tied to things
You know I can't undo
Bound and bruised
I'm bending out of shape because of you

Tie my heart and soul and mind together, together
Just don't stand there laughing when I crawl
Fly my heart and soul and mind forever, forever
I don't want to be here when I fall

Rain on me...

Lowdown

It's the twists and the turns of the cigarette burns
The holes in the mind of the nebulous mass
You'll get no returns if you don't learn
The dip between mine and the hole in your past
Every city we've been in
Built on the dust of someone's ash
When I die I'm gonna die 'cos of living
See you in hell with the rest of the trash

I need a love a love without question
A clean mind and a pocket of space
I want a map and a sense of direction
Looking for love and the thrill of a world
Just spinning 'round
Trynna burn
But you're melting down
You wanna be up there
But you're underground

Do you feel it lowdown?

Too many thoughts put a twist in my thinking
I just can't think straight anymore
I've got the bends I can feel myself sinking
Just can't keep on keep on coming back for more
Hey love, there's no need to worry
I've got nails, so hold on hold on
Think back before you started thinking about
The things you were sold on sold on

Can you spin it 'round?
Trynna hold on
But you nail it down
You wanna be up there
But you're underground

Do you feel it lowdown?
Lowdown...

And the world keeps spinning 'round
Trynna burn
But you melt it down
You wanna be out there
But you're underground

Do you feel it lowdown?

Spinning 'round...
Ghost riders in the sky
Lowdown...

Holy Grail

There's a broken-down castle
With blood on the battlements
You know how it's gonna end
With a forgotten angel
Who'll never be able
To soar with the gods again

You never know
N-n-no...

There's a plague in the wind
That's sweeping us in
With a sadness that comes to us all
At the edge of a cliff
Is a bottomless pit
Where all of us have to fall

All the kings and queens
And knights in shining armor
All the holy ghosts
And all our holy fathers

Take what's yours and take it boldly
And boldly go where you tread so coldly
The drop is sheer and never holy
Just you and you alone
Ride the wave when it comes crashing
Be the knight in a shining costume
Slay the dragons if they're asking
For what you've always known

All the kings and queens
And knights in shining armor
All the holy ghosts
And all our holy fathers

Gotta get me in...

There's a broken-down castle
With blood on the battlements
You know how it's gonna end
With a forgotten angel
Who'll never be able
To soar with the gods again
There's a plague in the wind
That's sweeping us in
With a sadness that comes to us all
At the edge of a cliff
Is a bottomless pit
Where all of us have to fall

And someone above
Is handing down love
Putting a twist in the tale
And left it too late
For someone who hates
To get to the holy grail

Come inside...

Land Of The Dying Sun

Shadows falling on our world
Can't tell the dusk from dawn
Headlights shine on the dark road
As one more fear is born
In the land of the setting sun
In the land of the setting sun

No more light and innocence
When all our beauty's gone
Hit and running left for us
To take it on and on and on

Sleep on through all of your nightmares
Too scared, no chance to dream
Alone, it's you and your lost soul
Nothing else feels the way it feels
In the land of the dying sun
In the land of the dying sun

Here it come the trick of night
That knows your heart too well
Too beaten and too body-bruised
To break out of its spell

Each eye can't see the horizon
It's the blind leading the dead and dumb
As we fall, the day keeps on rising
Don't think the light is ever gonna come
To the land of the dying sun
In the land of the dying sun
Dying sun...

Razor's Edge

Cut my teeth on the razor's edge
Passed on the blindfold
I had to be there
Would you meet me in the window ledge?
Just trying to keep a hold
You really had to be there

Will you be around
To pump me up again
Just when I'm going down for the last time?

These are the days I have seen
These are the things that are gone
These are the dreams that can still be mine
These are the nights that remain
These are the nights I dreamed upon
Seeking that sun going down on the fire

Lost my way at the water's edge
Up to my neck in it
Caught in the mudslide
One of these days I'm gonna wake up dead
Tied to the sleeping bed
Looking for the downside

These are the days I have seen
These are the things that are gone
These are the dreams that can still be mine
These are the nights that remain
These are the nights I dreamed upon
Seeking that sun going down on the fire

Work It On Out

Are you gonna cut me in?
Divvy it up 'cos I got it coming
Are you gonna let me win?
Are you gonna do what you know you shouldn't?
I know there's only one way in
But I'm still looking for ways out, ways out
This tunnel's going nowhere at all
Seizing me up with fear rising

I know there's only one way in
I know there's only one way in
Work it on out
Work it on in...

Are you gonna break my fall?
Am I gonna crack when I hit the limit?
Are we gonna get some more?
'Cos I wanna see what lies within it
That's always the problem with pain
It doesn't hurt nothing, it hits you hard
It sends its signals to the brain
Searching around in the black and darkness

Are you gonna break my fall?
Are you gonna break my fall?
Work it on out
Work in on in…

Fill no part, feel unsure
Feel like I'm down with something I can't cure
It's sad I know, it's sad but true
Face to face with nothing left to do
But work it on out
It's coming to you…

Subway Train

I looked in the eye of a hurricane
I was blown away
Another storm and another rain
On another day
I was ignorance's rings of fire
As I hit the ground
Meltdown city when I got too high
I'm never coming 'round

In my veins, in my veins
You're the subway and I'm the train

Choo-choo

Not Of This World

God, look at you
Shining through
You could be somebody
Good, almost new
Someone who
Could be anybody

Not of this world
Of this town
Of this house you call home
Born out of time
Out of place
Out there on your own

In the beginning
And then out at the death
I'll be walking behind you
And be your prayer

Baseball Bill

Here I go, it must be four in a row
I've gotta get my head down tonight
But you know I know
When the streets are aglow
I'll be headed for the city of lights

You talkin' to me?
'Cos I don't want to know, no, no, no
You can't even see
What's already on show

I'm hitting my prime and you're wasting my time
Your denominator commonest low
My head's burning up and I'm down on my luck
See you in the 48th row
With a matchbox full and a sulfurous skull
I'm trynna set my mind to rights
I'm gonna burn, burn, burn as the universe turns
Out of mind and out of sight

You talkin' to me?
'Cos I don't want to know, no, no, no
You can't even see
What's already on show

Baseball Bill went in for the kill
He blew it when he found his soul
Lost his will to live when he saw someone give
'Cos giving always takes its toll

You talkin' to me?
'Cos I don't want to know, no, no, no
You can't even see
What's already on show

Ooh, Baseball Bill...
