I NEED A LIFE
[3:20]
I need your time, I need your soul
I need this temperature to go down low
Got to realize my word's the truth
I never thought that I could lose
But when I get you on the phone
My heart is so alone
I need a life
I need a life
I've watched you stumble
I've seen you fall
I've picked you up
When you could only crawl
Got to realize my word's the truth
I never thought
That I could lose
But when I get you on the phone
My heart is so alone
I need a life
I need a life
I need your time, I need your soul
I need this temperature to go down low
Got to realize my word's the truth
And I never thought that I could lose
But when I get you on the phone
My heart is so alone
I need a life
I need a life
I've watched you stumble
I've seen you fall
I've picked you up
When you could only crawl
Got to realize my word's the truth
And I never thought that I could lose
But when I get you on the phone
My heart is so alone
I need a life
I need a life
But when I get you on the phone
My heart is so alone
I need a life
I need a life
And when I get you on the phone
My heart is so alone
TESTIFY
[2:56]
Straight from the middle right up to the top
Eat or be eaten by the cream of the crop
A smell of burning way down in your soul
When you taught to steal you're never alone
And you fall to the ground
Upon your knees, testify
Bruised and beaten, broken bones
Running so hard you can never go home
You live your life on a torture wheel
Gripped by a breeze of cold blue steel
When you fall to the ground
Upon your knees, testify
Sail into a sea of hell
Oh, you do it so very well
This life you lead will never leave you alone
Testify, testify
Straight from the middle right up to the top
Eat or be eaten by the cream of the crop
A smell of burning way down in your soul
When you taught to steal you're never alone
When you fall to the ground
Upon your knees, testify
Fall to the ground, upon your knees, testify
SHUT IT
[2:48]
Every time I talk to you
It's plain to see it's always indecision
Plain as all the faces that you know
Always turn their back on you
And every time you open up your mouth
Shut it
You're playing around with my heart
Leaving me opened up and bleeding
You laugh at me but it's plain to see
I'm not going to take this thing
You're laying down on me
Why don't you open up your mind
Or shut it, shut it, shut it
Why don't you just shut it
Every time I talk to you
It's plain to see it's always indecision
Plain as all the faces that you know
Always turn their back on you
And every time you open up your mouth
Shut it, shut it, shut it, shut it
Why don't you just shut it!
Every time you open up your mouth
Shut it
TAILSPIN
[4:13]
I'm in a tailspin
But I feel I'm going to win
My mind leaves my body
When you brush against my skin
I shake and I shiver
There's a fever all the time
Digging up emotions
That lie inside my mind
I'm in a tailspin
And my head keeps burning
I'm in a tailspin
And my head keeps burning
Strange thing
I know I let it in
I can only blame myself
Walking on ice so thin
I want to change now
Right before your eyes
I can only pray, I have
Let go this time
I'm in a tailspin
And my head keeps burning
I'm in a tailspin
And my head keeps burning
What's locked up inside
What are the creatures in your mind
I'm in a tailspin
But I feel I'm going to win
My mind leaves my body
When you brush against my skin
I shake and I shiver
There's a fever all the time
Digging up emotions
That lie inside my mind
I'm in a tailspin
And my head keeps burning
I'm in a tailspin
And my head keeps burning
Now it's unfolding
It's all been a dream
It's been my place to hide
I'm in a tailspin
And my head keeps burning
I'm in a tailspin
And my head keeps burning
Tailspin, tailspin
I'm in a tailspin
I'm in a tailspin
Spiralling down into nowhere, isn't it wonderful
NOT OF THIS EARTH
[2:55]
Well there's a place not of this earth
Where you can sell your soul for what it's worth
Laughing so loud fit to burst
ÔCause you're a bargain hunter in the twilight zone
You don't look no fool to me
You'd live in hell for free
You're not of this earth
You're an evil heart
You're a liar, you're a cheat, you're a snake in the grass
Cast in gold and top of the class
You wear the truth like a disease
There's no hole deep enough for you to please
You don't look no fool to me
You'd live in hell for free
You're not of this earth
Well you're an evil heart
You're no good it's understood
Or you'd never leave the ones you love to bleed
You were born in fire, been a liar
You've lived a life of charm with such ease
You don't look no fool to me
You'd live in hell for free
You're not of this earth
Well you're an evil heart
Evil, evil, evil, evil
Evil, evil, evil, evil
Evil, evil, evil, yeah I said evil
Evil, you have got an evil heart
RUNNING MAN
[5:06]
When the storm is raging you're beginning to lose your mind
Your head's exploding and you never can look behind
And it's your very last wish to never lose control
Dogs on your heels and they just won't let you go
You're a running man
You just can't stand
You're a running man
You just can't plan
Yeah, you're a running man
Such a running man
Running man
When you're caught on a hook and killing doesn't seem such a crime
Just answer this question if you ever do have the time
In this grand illusion you know life can be so cruel
It eats you up just to leave you like a mindless fool
You're a running man
You just can't stand
Running man
You know you just can't plan
Running man
You're such a running man
Running man
You're a running man
You just can't stand
Yeah, you're a running man
You just can't plan
When you're a running man
Such a running man
Running man
Running man
Yeah, running man
Running man
You're a running man
Running, running, running man
Running, running, running man

MY DESIRE
[2:48]
My desire is your frustration
It's hard for you to take
The way I've changed
Your strange ways
Have left me cold and hollow
I know you never cared
But it scared the hell out of me
Now it's coming clear to me
This fear is in my mind
It's opened up a can of worms
Opened up my mind
Well curse this town
It's just no good for me
I'm gonna leave it all behind in pieces
I'm gonna walk a line
Yeah, get right out of here
If it's the last thing I do
I am leaving
Now it's coming clear to me
The fear is in my mind
It's opened up a can of worms
Open up my eyes
Now it's coming clear to me
The fear is in my mind
It's opened up a can of worms
Now it's coming clear to me
This fear is in my mind
It's opened up a can of worms
Open up my eyes
Now it's coming clear to me
This fear is in my mind
It's opened up a can of worms
My desire
My desire
My desire
NEVER COULD BELIEVE
[4:58]
And when you're walking in your sleep
Think about the people you might meet
You will find that this time around
It's just another dream
Search your mind and you might find
It's way out of reach
And when you think it's not so far
I know you believe it
You wipe away just what you are
It's you you're deceiving
I never could believe your eyes
And when the dream turns into day
You're lost, you're gone, you're far away
You will find that this time around
It's just another dream
Search your mind and you might find
It's way out of reach
And when you think it's not so far
I know you believe it
You wipe away just what you are
It's you you're deceiving
I never could believe your eyes
When you wake up in a nightmare
All the pictures that you see
Are all coming from inside you
Never believe, never believe
And when you're walking in your sleep
Think about the people you might meet
You will find that this time around
It's just another dream
Search your mind, and you might find
It's way out of reach
And when you think it's not so far
You wipe away just what you are
It's you you're deceiving
On, and on, and on
I never could believe your eyes
I never could believe your eyes
I never could believe your eyes
HEAVEN...CAN TAKE YOUR LIES
[3:49]
When you're hit by hunger
You just don't feel right
It's pulling you under
Your head's in a vice
You light a blue paper
From the power of one
Look in the mirror
See what have you done
Heaven can take your lies
No need to mystify
No, no, no
You've called in the spirits
And taken their names
You've paid the price
For it's going down the drain
Told all your troubles
Bored all your friends
The cards in your pack
All wild with contempt
Heaven can take your lies
No need to mystify
No, no, no
You just keep guessing
This life's undressing
And your hands keep slipping
From around all your lies
All of your lies
And heaven can take your lies
No need to mystify
No
When you're hit by hunger
You just don't feel right
It's pulling you under
Your head's in a vice
You light a blue paper
From the power of one
Look in the mirror
See what have you done
Heaven can take your lies
No need to mystify
No, no, no
You just keep guessing
This life's undressing
But your hands keep slipping
From around all your lies
All of your lies
You just keep guessing
This life's undressing
But your hands keep slipping
From around all of your lies
All of your lies
Heaven can take your lies
No need to mystify
No
THE SHADOW TO FALL
[3:02]
Shadowed by life well you never can tell
Fall down a hole and you burn in hell
Striptease yourself against the wall
And watch the shadows begin to fall
Shadows, shadows
Shadows begin to fall
Crazy, crazy dancing fire
Think of those days that took you higher
Look at yourself through a telescope
Drowned by life well there's always hope
And shadows, shadows
Shadows begin to fall
I don't need those shadows
I don't need those shadows
To fall
I don't need those shadows
I don't need those shadows
To fall
I don't need those shadows
Shadowed by life well you never can tell
Fall down a hole and you burn in hell
Striptease yourself against the wall
And watch the shadows begin to fall
Shadows, shadows
Shadows begin to fall
Crazy, crazy dancing fire
Think of those days that took you higher
Look at yourself through a telescope
Drowned by life well there's always hope
And shadows, shadows
Shadows begin to fall
I don't need those shadows
I don't need those shadows
To fall
I don't need those shadows
I don't need those shadows
To fall
NO MORE TEARS
[5:14]
Feeling crazy in a crowd
So alone and I don't know why
Don't always seem so right inside
There's a change and it's
It's always rising
Should I laugh, should I cry
Should I just let it go
No more time to change my mind
It's on with the show
And no more tears
Sure enough the clouds will cry
To wash away this
This mood That I'm feeling
In the shadows cut from life
Seeing faces, as they roll on by
Should I laugh, should I cry
Should I just let it go
No more time to change my mind
It's just on with the show
Just no more tears
