STREET OF DREAMS
[5:38]
If you can't sleep tonight
And if a fever grips you tight
There's a place we must explore
Open wide the door
We may be the haunted men
But we will hold our heads up when
We walk down the street of dreams
The dead beats and the dispossessed
The seekers of unlikeliness
A beauty walks arm in arm
With the beast tonight
We may be the haunted men
But we will hold our heads up when
We walk down the street of dreams
Down the street of dreams
We walk down the street of dreams
A thousand doorways open there
A thousand voices sweet and clear
Emotions felt with a passion
Never felt before
And we may be the haunted men
But we will hold our heads up when
We walk down the street of dreams
When you walk down the street of dreams
You gotta hold your head up high
THE SHADOW OF LOVE
[3:51]
I'm caught in a trap
I'm caught in a trap
Don't be afraid to stand in the shadow of love
The hour is late and you know that time waits for no one
See the glow of the soul in her face
Then you know that you're caught in the shadow of love
The shadow of love
A brief embrace and fear and restraint have all gone
Innocence burns, yes a fire that burned all along
See the doors about to swing both ways
See the answer mirrored in her gaze
Then you know that you're caught in the shadow of love
Every night, every day
I experience the most exquisite pain
A thousand whispers seem to say
I light a candle to you and I pray
I kneel to pray
Now don't be afraid to get caught in the shadow of love
Play the game, take a chance, all you have, on the power of love
See the glow of the soul in her face
See the glow of her saving veil of grace
Then you know that you're caught in the shadow of love
You're caught in the shadow of love
Don't get caught
Well you're caught in the shadow of love
You're caught in the shadow
You're caught in a trap
THERE'LL COME A DAY
[4:15]
Fear grips your heart and you fight with all your might
Into the distant light you keep your vision bright
And the torch of love is a burning flame
It burns so bright it consumes all pain
And while you hang your head to pray
Fate deals a hand that we all must play
And when the stars go out
The skies have turned to gray
I'm gonna walk on out
Into a brand new day
Schemes and dreams and just a little more
To keep the wolf howling outside your door
And every night, every day
I think I'll go go go insane
But I have to win, I have to try
I have to hold my head up high
And when the stars go out
The skies have turned to gray
I'm gonna walk on out
Into a brand new day
Into a brand new day
Into a brand new day
A brand new day
And the torch of love is a burning flame
It burns so bright it consumes all pain
And while you hang your head to pray
Fate deals a hand that we all must play
And when the stars go out
The skies have turned to gray
I'm gonna walk on out
Into a brand new day
Into a brand new day
Into a brand new day
Into a brand new day
A brand new day
A brand new day
SANCTUM SANCTORUM
[6:27]
I know it's late and I should go to bed
But I can't tear away from the night
It holds the seed of a memory
It's true of you
When I first saw you I realized
The fire burned deep behind your eyes
I knew a kiss would paralyze
It's true from you
Awake in the night to whisper your name
Only silence replies it's answer a sleeping refrain
The moments die but memory stays
Love like a carnival's runaway ride
We spin and we climb
To where once sirens cried
And then sometimes angels can be devils too
It's true of you
It's true of you
When shadows no longer fall
And footsteps can't be heard at all
I hear the ghost of your call
It's true from you
Awake in the night to whisper your name
Only silence replies it's answer a sleeping refrain
The moments die but memory stays
Reaching for something that's just out of reach
Lost to your lips and drowned in your kiss
The tide of your passion is now but a dream
It's but a dream

IS IT A DREAM
[3:27]
Stand in a line like a parking meter
Am I all alone [he's all alone]
A vision of mine is becoming clear
It's all so new it can't be true
Sometimes the words appear in my head
Sometimes I'm falling out of my bed
Oh, is it a dream
What does it mean
Oh is it a dream
What have I seen
I know a man he's really awful nice
He isn't here
We whiled away an evening maybe two
But what did that man really do
Sometimes I feel like walking away
Sometimes there's something I've got to say
Oh, is it a dream
What does it mean
Oh, is it a dream
Then suddenly
Like a fly in a cup of tea
I'm stirred and no longer free
To fly away
I think back to the other life
That was borrowed the other night
Could it be that it just might
Drive me wild
Oh, is it a dream
Oh, is it a dream
Oh, is it a dream
Oh, is it a dream
Am I dreaming
GRIMLY FIENDISH
[3:50]
Grimly fiendish
Plays the game that never pays
Sing out loud but never prayed
Grimly fiendish
Wears a coat that's black and long
He doesn't know that it's all wrong
Simply fiendish
A child caught in a grown up world
No lies convince the court
Once a week I could be
Found on the faces or the frowns
Hide and seek tried so hard
And just to find that crime could pay
Just for today
Bad lad, bad boy (8x)
Let me put the story straight
You never gave me a break
It's a case of give and take
You didn't make me good you just painted me green
You made me part of your forgotten dreams
Grimly fiendish
We'll send you just where you belong
Where the children can't be found
Hide and seek tried so hard
And just to find that crime could pay
Just for today
Bad lad, bad boy (repeats)
EDWARD THE BEAR
[3:37]
Shadows fall in the places we used to play
My toys have all been packed away
The rocking horse rocks in it's box
A spinning top and Corporal Clott
Are a dusty lot
Many times I said I'd drop you a line
I guess I'm just a rotten swine
Who takes his time
And walks for fun when he should run
The damaged one is you old chum
Who's the sucker now, la la la
Who's the sucker now, la la la
Could someone shed some light on this love affair
And help to make me quite aware
Of what is meant by wicked thoughts
That have been sent
My memory is empty
Who's the sucker now, la la la
Who's the sucker now, la la la
Tell me, tell me
It's too late now there's no time
The truth is locked in my mind
To wonder and look in my eyes
Who's the sucker now, la la la
Who's the sucker now, la la la
THE EIGHTH DAY
[3:46]
Dead asleep the city dreams
Holding up its arms like limbs of steel
Mountains rise like mounds of sand
The boiling sea has swallowed up the land
On the eighth day
On the eighth day
Dancing dead are knocking on my door
In acid rain they came to mourn
To raise the flag to raise the tune
You know they'll be here
The eighth day
The eighth day
Hollow homes and gloomy streets
The people next door are looking more like circus freaks
On the eighth day
Echoes of the midnight chime
The clock moves on but what a waste of time
On the eighth day
On the eighth day
Dancing dead are knocking on my door
In acid rain they came to mourn
To raise the flag to raise a tune
You know they'll be here soon
The eighth day
The eighth day
The eighth day
Pure white heat and blood of sands
Two clouds of crimson mists are swirling round and round
On the eighth day
Pools of fear and eyes that shine
The mirrors cracked but I know they'll be mine oh mine
On the eighth day
On the eighth day
Dancing dead are knocking on my door
Om acid rain they came to mourn
To raise the flag to raise a tune
You know they'll be here soon
The eighth day
The eighth day
The eighth day
The eighth day
