Busy city
Subway train
Broken images, falling in the rain
Come to me
Out in the shadows
And let's discard these unnecessary halos

All around
People staring up
But looking down
Trying to find
The pieces of their lives they left behind

Busy city,
Lonely pain
Working hard, with nothing left to gain
Look at me
Out in the lights
And I'll teach you all the secrets of the city nights

All around
People staring up
But looking down
Trying to find
The pieces of their lives they left behind

The sun went down at half past four this afternoon
Seems quite strange that lately
God brings darkness way too soon
Yesterday is like tomorrow
And then today is quite similar
In some peculiar way

Unopened letters lying on the bed and pinned up on the door
In this uncared for apartment
On the bottom floor
Torn up photos, broken picture frames are lying everywhere
And an empty whiskey bottle
Sits on a solitary chair

She's not alone there
No she's not there by herself
She's wrapped up safely in the arms of Oblivion her love

The lonely mind recites some poetry the kind that makes you cry
The kind that asks you questions
The kind that asks you why
Her eyes are old her breasts a resting place for corruption and despair
Not for sleepy children anymore
Life's just so unfair

She's not alone there
No she's not there by herself
She's wrapped up safely in the arms of Oblivion her love

It was long ago you moved next door to me
I was sitting watching my old black & white TV
Pictures started shifting black & white turned blue
Then the sudden realization that I can never be with you

Out of reach
And out of touch
Tell me can you ever understand how much
Out of reach
And out of touch
Will you ever know how much

Wanted to come over introduce myself to you
Courage was elusive didn't know what else to do
Looking out my window saw my best friend talk to you
As he touched your hand and kissed your lips my heart just broke in two

Out of reach
And out of touch
Tell me can you ever understand how much
Out of reach
And out of touch
Will you ever know how much

13, 14, 15, 16 years gone by
As I watch you lying next to me I cannot help but cry
That you came over looked into my eyes
You and me we would be together for the rest of our lives

Out of reach
And out of touch
Tell me can you ever understand how much
Out of reach
And out of touch
Will you ever know how much

Walking down a stairway looking for an Angel
Only finding dark eyes staring back at me
Ageless
Time immemorial
Master of a black world
Where the exits are forever changing

Death hangs round his black robes in dark ways

Mister Sandman
Lay me down to sleep
My depth is hollow
And my emptiness is deep
Mister Sandman
Guide me into dreams
Where death comes in small doses
And in agonizing screams

Fires burning brightly heat is overwhelming
Surges through the body biting at the soul
Timeless
Memories creeping in
Burnt out barren wasteland
Where everyone's forever playing

Death hangs round his black robes in dark ways

Mister Sandman
Lay me down to sleep
My depth is hollow
And my emptiness is deep
Mister Sandman
Guide me into dreams
Where death comes in small doses
And in agonizing screams

Wouldn't it be lovely?
If you could still be daddy's girl
I could read you bed time stories
Take you in my arms and make you still

Isn't it a shame now?
That innocence must fade
I hear your voice through photographs
Close your door the hour's late

Daddy's little girl
Was it all for thrill?
Daddy's little girl
Spinning in your own world

Wouldn't it be crazy?
To turn back the hands of time
Pretend it never happened
We could leave it all behind

Wouldn't it be great now?
If you came knocking on my door
Giving me your sorrow
Your pain and even more

Daddy's little girl
My fallen little angel
Daddy's little girl
Is it lonely in your world?

You were walking too fast
I was running too slow

Daddy's little girl
Was it all for thrill?
Daddy's little girl
Spinning in your own world

Daddy's little girl
My fallen little angel
Daddy's little girl
Is it lonely in your world?

Is it lonely in your world…

You lift me up in ecstasy
You drag me down in agony
You sent me there for revelation
Build me cities paved with passion
You lift me up in ecstasy
You drag me down in agony
You capture me with fascination
Shivering with anticipation

You let the moon rise above you
Let the shadows fall away
Then you steal my soul,
Though I'd give it to you anyway
You engulf me with passion
Emotionless you play
I'm beyond all resistance
With iron tears I stay

You lift me up in ecstasy
You drag me down in agony
You take me on an endless journey
Even make the world stop turning
You lift me up in ecstasy
You drag me down in agony
You lure me with temptation
Lost in your paradise of frustration

You let the moon rise above you
Let the shadows fall away
Then you steal my soul,
Though I'd give it to you anyway
You engulf me with passion
Emotionless you play
I'm beyond all resistance
With iron tears I stay

I received some bad news today
A life was lost but I called anyway
You weren't there like always so I prayed
To change this expression on my face today

Hail Mary full of grace
Bring my angel back to this place
Hail Mary full of grace
Bring sunshine back to these rainy days

Flying high on the summer sky
As images of you pass by
A tear starts and then runs dry
Is now the time for goodbyes....

Hail Mary full of grace
Bring my angel back to this place
Hail Mary full of grace
Bring sunshine back to these rainy days

I light a candle for times lost
Your life was the ultimate cost

Hail Mary full of grace
Bring my angel back to this place
Hail Mary full of grace
Bring sunshine back to these rainy days

I am romanced in fascination
Balancing on the top not fearing the fall
She is my new, she is my new religion
Sometimes I wonder if she can hear me dreaming

Cause if she could
I surely would tell her…

Take both these hands
Don't ever put me down
It's getting harder
To go to sleep now
The days are longer
With you not around
Yeah, yeah, yeah…

Night drags on with cars that's passing by
Sleep stays away I wish that time would fly
Your tranquil ocean crushing into me
You my sister moon, my love and honesty

Cause if I could
I surely would tell her…

Take both these hands
Don't ever put me down
It's getting harder
To go to sleep now
The days are longer
With you not around
Yeah, yeah, yeah…

With an angelic tongue you promise
You promise me

You'll take both these hands
And never put me down
You'll hold me close
And make smiles of my frowns
You'll be there when daylight breaks
To take me away

There I was singing to myself in the street
There I was keeping in my head the beat
I sat down on the grass outside
And watch the shadow hours passing by

Is this the mystery that always passes by?
Is this the essence of the rumor that never died?
No, This is life
This is life…

Centuries are what it meant to me
Stranger things you would never see
I followed the river to where it flows
And there I saw the great and secret show

Is this the mystery that always passes by?
Is this the essence of the rumor that never died?
No, This is life
This is life…

If I could, what I wouldn't give to read your mind
And then I could figure out what goes on inside

Is this the mystery that always passes by?
Is this the essence of the rumor that never died?
No, This is life
This is life…

There's a place in your mind
Hidden from sight
Where mischievous thoughts
Grow wings and take flight
It's a place of confusion
Where savage things grow
And when they will surface
Nobody knows

The devil is a little man in a funny red suit
Quite awkward looking, but he thinks he looks real good
The devil is a funny man in a little red suit
Quite awkward looking, not looking good

The wise man goes blind
As he sees the light
It is your life story
Your love and spite
He's seen your obsession
He knows your whole life
About your girlfriend, her sister
And the man next doors wife

The devil is a little man in a funny red suit
Quite awkward looking, but he thinks he looks real good
The devil is a funny man in a little red suit
Quite awkward looking, not looking good

I met a girl about a year ago
At first I thought she had a heart of gold
But then we went on holiday and she broke my nose
I lay in bed for two weeks comatose

That's when I figured out
That's when I figured out…

You're just a psycho bitch yeah baby
Just a psycho bitch
You're just a psycho bitch yeah baby
Just a psycho bitch

I pissed her off one Saturday night
Turned my back on her that wasn't bright
She kicked my feet I fell on the stone
That was when I broke my ass bone

That's when I figured out
That's when I figured out…

You're just a psycho bitch yeah baby
Just a psycho bitch
You're just a psycho bitch yeah baby
Just a psycho bitch

But the worst was yet to come
She got into my car and I had to run
She put her foot down on the gas
And there I was again flat on my ass

That's when I figured out
That's when I figured out…

You're just a psycho bitch yeah baby
Just a psycho bitch
You're just a psycho bitch yeah baby
Just a psycho bitch

Multiply in anger
I've become a stranger
Midnight breaks in a city of stone
I'm a son of man disaster
Going down still faster
As a silent angel treads alone

Iron horses made of chrome
Racing on into the dawn
Facing future still unknown
Modern rebels ride alone
On the streets of skull and bone
This barren land they call their own

Atomic sky behaviour
Tequila after flavour
Will you let me be your acid rain
Bitter sweet infection
Give you new direction
Let me take you on a chemical flight

Iron horses made of chrome
Racing on into the dawn
Facing future still unknown
Modern rebels ride alone
On the streets of skull and bone
This barren land they call their own

This is the life they lead
Beside them the drama queens
This is the life they lead
They are the suicide kings

Iron horses made of chrome
Racing on into the dawn
Facing future still unknown
Modern rebels ride alone
On the streets of skull and bone
This barren land they call their own

She moves like a flower in the rain
She's gonna pick you up again
It's timw to play her game
Let her in and leave the pain

She shows you things you cannot see
Cause it's inside her you wanna be
Her silky hands imprison me
As she burns my memory

The habit is underneath my skin
Thai is making my world spin
I don't know how long has it been
Tell me where did this all begin

Please shine your light
Please let me breathe you
So black and white
Let me feel you
