Ray Of Light
Zephyr in the sky at night - I wonder Do my tears of mourning Sink beneath the sun She’s got herself a universe -Gone quickly For the call of thunder Threatens everyone And I feel Like I just got home And I feel And I feel Like I just got home And I feel Faster than the speeding light - She’s flying Trying to remember Where it all began She’s got herself a little piece of heaven Waiting for the time when Earth shall be as one And I feel Like I just got home And I feel And I feel Like I just got home And I feel Quicker than a ray of light Quicker than a ray of light Quicker than a ray of light Zephyr in the sky at night - I wonder Do my tears of mourning Sink beneath the sun She’s got herself a universe - Gone quickly For the call of thunder Threatens everyone And I feel Quicker than a ray of light - Then gone for Someone else shall be there Through the endless years She’s got herself a universe She’s got herself a universe She’s got herself a universe And I feel And I feel And I feel Like I just got home And I feel Quicker than a ray of light - She’s flying Quicker than a ray of light - I’m flying |

Falling to Pieces
Back and forth, I sway with the wind Resolution slips away again Right through my fingers, back into my heart Where it's out of reach and it's in the dark Sometimes I think I'm blind Or I may be just paralyzed Because the plot thickens every day And the pieces of my puzzle keep crumblin' away But I know, there's a picture beneath Indecision clouds my vision No one listens... Because I'm somewhere in between My love and my agony You see, I'm somewhere in between My life is falling to pieces Somebody put me together Layin' face down on the ground My fingers in my ears to block the sound My eyes shut tight to avoid the sight Anticipating the end, losing the will to fight Droplets of yes and no In an ocean of maybe From the bottom, it looks like a steep incline From the top, another downhill slope of mine But I know, the equilibrium's there Indecision clouds my vision No one listens Because I'm somewhere in between My love and my agony You see, I'm somewhere in between My life is falling to pieces Somebody put me together Back and forth, I sway with the wind Resolution slips away again Right through my fingers, back into my heart Where it's out of reach and it's in the dark Sometimes I think I'm blind Or I may be just paralyzed Because the plot thickens every day And the pieces of my puzzle keep crumblin' away But I know, there's a picture beneath Indecision clouds my vision No one listens... Because I'm somewhere in between My love and my agony You see, I'm somewhere in between My life is falling to pieces Somebody put me together |

Don't Tread On Me
Before you're pointing at me There is a possibility You better turn that thing around Nothing's comes easily So don't you tread on me Cuz I will knock you down Some days it seems it's not worth it The fight in me is all gone And I'm not trying to be perfect But just get one damn thing done Before I lose control I pick myself up off the floor Before you're pointing at me There is a possibility You better turn that thing around Nothing's comes easily So don't you tread on me Cause I will knock you down Never come a day that’ll solve you Consequently I could never leave you In the shadow of those looming battleships I love our canoe I’m ready for the falls And the still waters we will find our truth Oh, there’s a clock in my head And despite what it said Another one on the wall They don’t agree at all And there's a schism in me And despite what you see You might see me as calm But I go off like a bomb Before you're pointing at me There is a possibility You better turn that thing around Nothing's comes easily So don't you tread on me Cause I will knock you down Oh, in the comfort of strangers You don’t see the danger Of just letting it flow This I know Before you're pointing at me There is a possibility You better turn that thing around Nothing's comes easily So don't you tread on me Cause I will knock you down |

Starlight
Far away The ship is taking me far away Far away from the memories Of the people who care if I live or die Starlight I will be chasing the starlight Until the end of my life I don't know if it's worth it anymore Hold you in my arms I just wanted to hold You in my arms My life You electrify my life Let's conspire to ignite All the souls that would die just to feel alive But I'll never let you go If you promised not to fade away Never fade away Our hopes and expectations Black holes and revelations Our hopes and expectations Black holes and revelations Hold you in my arms I just wanted to hold You in my arms Far away The ship is taking me far away Far away from the memories Of the people who care if I live or die And I'll never let you go If you promise not to fade away Never fade away Our hopes and expectations Black holes and revelations Our hopes and expectations Black holes and revelations Hold you in my arms I just wanted to hold You in my arms I just wanted to hold |

Spente Le Stele Quel cuor perdesti Per un miraggio Quel cuor tradisti Odiar di più, non puó ! La mia voce, senti Il suo dolor... o no ? La tua sparí E io, pazza, t'aspetto ! Dimenticar... O non più vivere Ormai, salvo... La notte... la notte... la notte... Ah !... Spente le stelle Col pallido raggio di luna Piange l'amore Che si lancia come l'onda poi se ne va Vuota, la notte E la sua speranza breve Ora sgorga l'amaro pianto Un cuor ferito, disperato passa qua Dunque fuggisti I sogni vuoti Dunque perdersi I brevi vortici Dimenticar ( etc... ) Spente le stelle ( etc |

Tommy Gun
Tommy gun – you ain’t happy ‘less he got one Tommy gun – ain’t gonna shoot the place up just for fun Maybe he wants to die for the money Maybe he wants to kill for his country Whatever he wants, he’s gonna get it Tommy gun – you better strip down for a custom run Tommy gun – waiting at the airport ‘till Kingdom Come An’ we can watch you make it on the nine o’clock news Standing there in Palestine lighting a fuse Whatever you want, you’re gonna get it Tommy gun Tommy gun Tommy gun – a-you’ll be dead when you war is won Tommy gun – but did you have to gun down everyone? I can see its kill or be killed A nation of destiny has got to be fulfilled Whatever you want, you’re gonna get it Tommy gun – a-you can be hero in an age of none Tommy gun – I’m cutting out your picture from page one I’m gonna a get a jacket just like yours An’ give my false support to your cause Whatever you want, you’re gonna get it All right! Okay, so let’s agree about the price An’ make it one jet airliner for ten prisoners And boats and tanks and planes, it's your game Kings and Queens and Generals, learn your name I see the innocents, the human sacrifice And if death comes so cheap, then the same goes for life |

How You Do?
He's bitter and twisted, he knows what he wants. He wants to be loved and he wants to belong. He wants us to listen, he wants us to weep. He was a stupid baby who turned into a powerful freak. But how do you? how do you? how do you? He lives with his mother, but we show him respect. He's a dangerous bigot, but we always forget. And he's just like his daddy, because he cheats on his friends. And he steals and he bullies, anyway that he can. But how do you? how do you? how do you? |

"Stickin In My Eye"
When I look 'round, I only see outta one eye As the smoke surrounds my head, the sauna I hear the voices, but I can't make out their words Saying things, saying things that I got something sticking in my eye Got something sticking in my eye Got something sticking in my eye I feel unusual from thinking About the underground decay, God help me Kill beneath the camera, watch the world begin to cry It's not from pity, it comes from What's been sticking in my eye Got something sticking in my eye Got something sticking in my eye Got something sticking in my eye Got something sticking in Got something sticking in Got something sticking in my eye |

Stuck With Me
I'm not part of your elite I'm just alright Class structures waving colors Bleeding from my throat Not subservient to you I'm just alright Down classed by the powers that be Give me loss of hope Cast out... Buried in a hole Struck down... forcing me to fall Destroyed... giving up the fight Well I know I'm not alright What's my price and will you pay it If it's alright? Take it from my dignity And waste it till it's dead Throw me back into the gutter 'Cause it's alright Find another pleasure f***** Drag them down to hell Cast out... Buried in a hole Struck down... forcing me to fall Destroyed... giving up the fight Well I know I'm not alright Cast out... Buried in a hole Struck down... forcing me to fall Destroyed... giving up the fight Well I know I'm not alright |

Beautiful Disaster
Today seems like a good day to burn a bridge or two The one with old wood creaking that would burn away right on cue I try to be not like that but some people really suck Some people need to get the axing chalk it up to bad luck I know a drugstore cowgirl so afraid of getting bored She's always running from something so many things ignored I might do that stuff if it didn't make me feel like **** I'm on some old reality tip so many trips in it Beautiful disaster Flyin' down the street again I tried to keep up You wore me out and left me ate up Now I wish you all the luck You're a butterfly in the wind without a care A pretty train crash to me and I can't care I do I don't whatever I know a drugstore cowgirl so afraid of getting bored She's always running from something so many things ignored I try to be not like this but I thought it'd make a good song There's nothing to see shows over people just move along Beautiful disaster Flyin' down the street again I tried to keep up You wore me out and left me ate up Now I wish you all the luck You're a butterfly in the wind without a care A pretty train crash to me and I can't care I do I don't whatever ![]() |

What's This Life For
Hurray for a child that makes it through If there's any way because the answer lies in you They're laid to rest before they've known just what to do Their souls are lost because they could never find What's this life for What's this life for What's this life for What's this life for I see your soul it's kind of gray You see my heart you look away You see my wrist I know your pain I know your purpose on your plane Don't say a last prayer because you could never find What's this life for What's this life for What's this life for What's this life for But they ain't here anymore Don't have to settle the score Cause we all live under the reign Of one king But they ain't here anymore Don't have to settle no god damn score Cause we all live under the reign Of one king But they ain't here anymore Don't have to settle no god damn score Cause we all live under the reign Of one king |

Elevation
High, higher than the sun You shoot me from a gun I need you to elevate me here At corner of your lips As the orbit of your hips Eclipse You elevate my soul I've got no self control Been living like a mole now Going down, excavation I and I in the sky You make me feel like I can fly So high Elevation A star Lit up like a cigar Strung out like a guitar Maybe you can educate my mind Explain all these controls Can't sing but I've got soul The goal is elevation A mole Digging in a hole Digging up my soul now Going down, excavation I and I in the sky You make me feel like I can fly So high Elevation Love Lift me up out of these blues Won't you tell me something true I believe in you A mole Digging in a hole Digging up my soul now Going down, excavation Higher now In the sky You make me feel like I can fly So high Elevation Elevation Elevation Elevation ![]() |
