Feel it closing in,
Feel it closing in, The fear of whom I call, Every time I call, I feel it closing in, I feel it closing in, Day in, day out, Day in, day out, Day in, day out, Day in, day out, Day in, day out, Day in, day out. I feel it closing in, As patterns seem to form. I feel it cold and warm. The shadows start to fall. I feel it closing in, I feel it closing in, Day in, day out, Day in, day out, Day in, day out, Day in, day out, Day in, day out. I'd have the world around, To see just whatever happens, Stood by the door alone, And then it's fade away. I see you fade away. Don't ever fade away. I need you here today. Don't ever fade away. Don't ever fade away. Don't ever fade away. Don't ever fade away. Fade away. Fade away. Fade away. Fade away. Fade away. Fade away. Fade away. |

Hearts fail, young hearts fail,
Any time, pressurized, overheat, overtired. Take it quick, take it neat, Clasp your hands, touch your feet. Take it quick, take it neat, Take it quick, take it neat. Hearts fail, young hearts fail, Anytime, wearing down, On the run, underground, Put your hand where it's safe, Leave your hand where it's safe. Do it again, Do it again and again and again. Do it again and again and again. Do it again and again and again. Do it again and again and again. Anytime, that's your right. Don't you wish you do it again, Overheat, overtire. Don't you wish you do it again, Don't you wish you do it again, Don't you wish you do it again, Anytime, that's your right, Don't you wish you do it again, Anytime, that's your right. Don't you wish you do it again, Don't you wish you do it again, I bet you wish you do it again. Do it again. Do it again. Do it again. |

I've been waiting for a guide to come and take me by the hand,
Could these sensations make me feel the pleasures of a normal man? These sensations barely interest me for another day, I've got the spirit, lose the feeling, take the shock away. It's getting faster, moving faster now, it's getting out of hand, On the tenth floor, down the back stairs, it's a no man's land, Lights are flashing, cars are crashing, getting frequent now, I've got the spirit, lose the feeling, let it out somehow. What means to you, what means to me, and we will meet again, I'm watching you, I'm watching her, I'll take no pity from you friends, Who is right, who can tell, and who gives a damn right now, Until the spirit new sensation takes hold, then you know, Until the spirit new sensation takes hold, then you know, Until the spirit new sensation takes hold, then you know, I've got the spirit, but lose the feeling, I've got the spirit, but lose the feeling, Feeling, feeling, feeling, feeling, feeling, feeling, feeling. |

This is the room, the start of it all,
No portrait so fine, only sheets on the wall, I've seen the nights, filled with bloodsport and pain, And the bodies obtained, the bodies obtained. Where will it end? Where will it end? Where will it end? Where will it end? These are your friends from childhood, through youth, Who goaded you on, demanded more proof, Withdrawal pain is hard, it can do you right in, So distorted and thin, distorted and thin. Where will it end? Where will it end? Where will it end? Where will it end? This is the car at the edge of the road, There's nothing disturbed, all the windows are closed, I guess you were right, when we talked in the heat, There's no room for the weak, no room for the weak, Where will it end? Where will it end? Where will it end? Where will it end? This is the room, the start of it all, Through childhood, thorugh youth, I remember it all, Oh, I've seen the nights filled with bloodsport and pain. And the bodies obtained, the bodies obtained, the bodies obtained. Where will it end? Where will it end? Where will it end? Where will it end? |

Forced by the pressure,
The territories marked, No longer the pleasure, Oh, I've since lost the heart. Corrupted from memory, No longer the power, It's creeping up slowly, The last fatal hour. Oh, I don't what made me, What gave me the right, To mess with your values, And change wrong to right. Please keep your distance, The trail leads to here, There's blood on your fingers, Brought on by fear. I campaigned for nothing, I worked hard for this, I tried to get to you, You treat me like this. It's just second nature, It's what we've been shown, We're living by your rules, That's all that we know. I tried to get to you, I tried to get to you, I tried to get to you. I tried to get to you. |

Guess you dreams always end.
They don't rise up, just descend, But I don't care anymore, I've lost the will to want more, I'm not afraid not at all, I watch them all as they fall, But I remember when we were young. Those with habits of waste, Their sense of style and good taste, Of making sure you were right, Hey don't you know you were right? I'm not afraid anymore, I keep my eyes on the door, But I remember.... Tears of sadness for you, More upheaval for you, Reflects a moment in time, A special moment in time, Yeah we wasted our time, We didn't really have time, But we remember when we were young. And all God's angels beware, And all you judges beware, Sons of chance, take good care, For all the people not there, I'm not afraid anymore, I'm not afraid anymore, I'm not afraid anymore, Oh, I'm not afraid anymore. |

Change of speed, a change of style
A change of scene, with no regrets A chance to watch admire the distance Still occupied - though you forget Different colours, different shades Over each mistakes were made I took the blame Directionless, so plain to see A loaded gun won't set you free So you say We'll share a drink and step outside An angry voice and one who cried We'll give you everything and more The strain's too much, can't take much more Oh I've walked on water, run through fire Can't seem to feel it anymore It was me - waiting for me Hoping for something more Me - see me in this time - Hoping for something else |

Confusion in her eyes that says it all.
She's lost control. And she's clinging to the nearest passer by, She's lost control. And she gave away the secrets of her past, And said I've lost control again, And a voice that told her when and where to act, She said I've lost control again. And she turned to me and took me by the hand and said, I've lost control again. And how I'll never know just why or understand, She said I've lost control again. And she screamed out kicking on her side and said, I've lost control again. And seized up on the floor, I thought she'd die. She said I've lost control again. She's lost control again. She's lost control. She's lost control again. She's lost control. Well I had to 'phone her friend to state her case, And say she's lost control again. And she showed up all the errors and mistakes, And said I've lost control again. But she expressed herself in many different ways, Until she lost control again. And walked upon the edge of no escape, And laughed I've lost control again. She's lost control again. She's lost control. She's lost control again. She's lost control. I could live a little better with permissible (the miserable?) lies, When the darkness broke in, I just broke down and cried. I could live a little in a wider line, When the change is done, when the dare is gone, To lose control. When the dare is gone... |

To the centre of the city where all roads meet, waiting for you,
To the depths of the ocean where all hopes sank, searching for you, I was moving through the silence without motion, waiting for you, In a room with a window in the corner I found truth. In the shadowplay, acting out your own death, knowing no more, As the assassins all grouped in four lines, dancing on the floor, And with cold streel, odour on their bodies mad a move to connect, But I could only stare in disbelief as the crowds all left. I did everything, everything I wanted to, I let them use you for their own ends, To the centre of the city in the night, waiting for you. To the centre of the city in the night, waiting for you. |

I travelled far and wide through many different times,
What did you see there? I saw the saints with their toys, What did you see there? I saw all knowledge destroyed. I travelled far and wide through many different times. I travelled far and wide through prisons of the cross, What did you see there? The power and glory of sin, What did you see there? The blood of Christ on their skins, I travelled far and wide thorugh many different times. I travelled far and wide and unknown martyrs died, What did you see there? I saw the one sided trials, What did you see there? I saw the tears as they cried, They had tears in their eyes, Tears in their eyes, Tears in their eyes, Tears in their eye. |

I walked through the city limits,
Someone talked me in to do it, Attracted by some force within it, Had to close my eyes to get close to it, Around a corner where a prophet lay, Saw the place where she'd had a room to stay, A wire fence where the children played Saw the bed where the body lay, And I was looking for some friends of mine. And I had no time to waste. Yeah, looking for some friends of mine. The cars screeched hear the sound on dust, Heard a noise just a car outside, Metallic blue turned red with rust, Pulled in close by the building's side, In a group all forgotten youth, Had to think, collect my senses now, Are turned on to a knife edged view Find some places where my friends don't know, And I was looking for a friend of mine, And had no time to waste. Yeah, looking for some friends of mine. Down the dark streets, the houses looked the same, Getting darker now, faces look the same, And I walked round and round. No stomach, torn apart, Nail me to a train. Had to think again, trying to find a clue, trying to find a way to get out! Trying to move away, had to move away and keep out. |

We were strangers.
We were strangers, for way too long, for way too long, We were strangers, for way too long. Violent, violent, Were strangers. Get weak all the time, may just pass the time, Me in my own world, yeah you there beside, The gaps are enormous, we stare from each side, We were strangers for way too long. Violent, more violent, his hand cracks the chair, Moves on reaction, then slumps in despair, Trapped in a cage and surrendered too soon, Me in my own world, the one that you knew, For way too long. We were strangers, for way too long. We were strangers, We were strangers, for way too long. For way too long. |

I've seen the real atrocities,
Buried in the sand, Stockpiled for safety, While we stand holding hands. I'm living in the Ice age, I'm living in the Ice age, Nothing will hold, Nothing will fit, Into the cold, It's not an eclipse. Living in the Ice age, Living in the Ice age, Living in the Ice age. Searching for another way, Hide behind the door, We'll live in holes and disused shafts, Hopes for little more. I'm living in the Ice age, I'm living in the Ice age, Nothing will hold, Nothing will fit, Into the cold, No smile on your lips, Living in the Ice age, Living in the Ice age, Living in the Ice age. Living in the Ice age, Living in the Ice age, Living in the Ice age. Living in the Ice age |

When you're looking at life,
In a strange new room, Maybe drowning soon, Is this the start of it all? Turn on your TV, Turn down your pulse, Turn away from it all, It's all getting too much. When you're looking at life, Deciphering scars, Just who fooled who, Sit still in their cars, The lights look bright, When you reach outside, Time for one last ride, Before the end of it all. |

Listen to the silence, let it ring on. Eyes, dark grey lenses frightened of the sun. We would have a fine time living in the night, Left to blind destruction, Waiting for our sight. And we would go on as though nothing was wrong. And hide from these days we remained all alone. Staying in the same place, just staying out the time. Touching from a distance, Further all the time. Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio. Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio. Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio. Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio. Well I could call out when the going gets tough. The things that we've learnt are no longer enough. No language, just sound, that's all we need know, to synchronise love to the beat of the show. And we could dance. Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio. Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio. Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio. Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio. |

You're on your own now don't you think that it's a shame? But you're the only one responsible to take the blame So what ya gonna do when the novelty has gone?

Moved in a hired car,
And I find no way to run, Adds every moment longer, Had no time for fun, Just something that I knew I had to do, But through it all I lefy my eyes on you. I had an impulse to clear it all away, Oh I used the tactics, make everybody pay, Just something that I knew I had to do, But through it all I kept my eyes on you. Oh, I keep it all clean, I've paid the graces there, No kings of misuse, No sellers of flesh, Just something that I knew I had to do, But through it all I kept my eyes on you, Yeah through it all I kept my eyes on you, But through it all I kept my eyes on you. |

Like I did once before, A tendency just to take, Til the purpose turned sour, Strain, take the strain, these days we love, Strain, take the strain, these days we love. Yeah, the only mistake was that you ran away, Avenues lined with trees, strangled words for the day, Yeah, the only mistake, like I made once before, Yeah, the only mistake, could have made it before. Strain, take the strain, these days we love, Strain, take the strain, these days we love. And the only mistake, led to rumours unfound, Led to pressures unknown, different feelings and sounds, Yeah, the only mistake, like I made once before, Yeah, the only mistake, could have made it before. |

Walk in silence,
Don't walk away, in silence. See the danger, Always danger, Endless talking, Life rebuilding, Don't walk away. Walk in silence, Don't turn away, in silence. Your confusion, My illusion, Worn like a mask of self-hate, Confronts and then dies. Don't walk away. People like you find it easy, Naked to see, Walking on air. Hunting by the rivers, Through the streets, Every corner abandoned too soon, Set down with due care. Don't walk away in silence, Don't walk away. |

This is the hour when the mysteries emerge
A strangeness so hard to reflect A moment so moving, goes straight to your heart The vision has never been met The attraction is held like a weight deep inside Something I'll never forget The pattern is set, her reaction will start Complete but rejected too soon Looking ahead in the grip of each fear Recalls the life that we knew The shadow that stood by the side of the road Always reminds me of you How can I find the right way to control All the conflicts inside, all the problems beside As the questions arise, and the answers don't fit Into my way of things, into my way of things |

Asylums with doors open wide,
Where people had paid to see inside, For entertainment they watch his body twist Behind his eyes he says, 'I still exist.' This is the way, step inside. This is the way, step inside. This is the way, step inside. This is the way, step inside. In arenas he kills for a prize, Wins a minute to add to his life. But the sickness is drowned by cries for more, Pray to God, make it quick, watch him fall. This is the way, step inside. This is the way, step inside. This is the way, step inside. This is the way, step inside. This is the way. This is the way. This is the way. This is the way. This is the way, step inside. This is the way, step inside. This is the way, step inside. This is the way, step inside. You'll see the horrors of a faraway place, Meet the architects of law face to face. See mass murder on a scale you've never seen, And all the ones who try hard to succeed. This is the way, step inside. This is the way, step inside. This is the way, step inside. This is the way, step inside. And I picked on the whims of a thousand or more, Still pursuing the path that's been buried for years, All the dead wood from jungles and cities on fire, Can't replace or relate, can't release or repair, Take my hand and I'll show you what was and will be. |

This is a crisis, I knew had to come
Destroying the balance I'd kept Doubting, unsettling and turning around Wondering what will come next Is this the role that you wanted to live? I was foolish to ask for so much Without the protection and infancy's guard It all falls apart at first touch Watching the reel as it comes to a close Brutally taking it's time People who change for no reason at all Happening all of the time Can I go on with this train of events? Disturbing and purging my mind Back out of my duties when all's said and done I know that I'll lose every time Moving along in our God given ways Safety is sat by the fire Sanctuary from these feverish smiles Left with a mark on the door Is this the gift that I wanted to give? Forgive and forget's what they teach Or pass through the deserts and wastelands once more And watch as they drop by the beach This is the crisis I knew had to come Destroying the balance I'd kept Turning around to the next set of lives Wondering what will come next |

A cry for help, a hint of anesthesia,
The sound from broken homes, We used to always meet here. As he lays asleep, she takes him in her arms, Some things I have to do, but I don't mean you harm. A worried parent's glance, a kiss, a last goodbye, Hands him the bag she packed, the tears she tries to hide, A cruel wind that blows down to our lunacy And leaves him standing cold here in this colony. I can't see why all these confrontations, I can't see why all these dislocations, No family life, this makes me feel uneasy, Stood alone here in this colony. In this colony, in this colony, in this colony, in this colony. Dear God in his wisdom took you by the hand, God in his wisdom made you understand. God in his wisdom took you by the hand, God in his wisdom made you understand. God in his wisdom took you by the hand, God in his wisdom made you understand. God in his wisdom took you by the hand, God in his wisdom made you understand. In this colony, in this colony, in this colony, in this colony. |

Instincts that can still betray us,
A journey that leads to the sun, Soulless and bent on destruction, A struggle between right and wrong. You take my place in the showdown, I'll observe witha pitiful eye, I'll humbly ask for forgiveness, A request well beyond you and I. Heart and soul, one will burn. Heart and soul, one will burn. An abyss that laughs at creation, A circus complete with all fools, Foundations that lasted the ages, Then ripped apart at their roots. Beyond all this goo's is the terror, The grip of a mercenary hand, When savagery turns all good reason, There's no turning back, no last stand. Heart and soul, one will burn. Heart and soul, one will burn. Existence well what does it matter? I exist on the best terms I can. The past is now part of my future, The present is well out of hand. The present is well out of hand. Heart and soul, one will burn. Heart and soul, one will burn. One will burn, one will burn. Heart and soul, one will burn. |

So this is permanence, love's shattered pride
What once was innocence, turned on its side Grey cloud hangs over me, marks every move Deep in the memory, what once was love Oh, how I realized? How I wanted time? Put into perspective, tried so hard to find Just for one moment, I thought I'd found my way Destiny unfolded, I watched it slip away Excessive flash points, beyond all reach Solitary demands for all I'd like to keep Let's take a ride out, see what we can find Valueless collection of hopes and past desires I never realized the lengths I'd have to go All the darkest corners of a sense I didn't know Just for one moment I heard somebody call Looked beyond the day in hand, there's nothing there at all Now that I've realized how it's all gone wrong Got to find some therapy, this treatment takes too long Deep in the heart of where sympathy held sway Got to find my destiny before it gets too late |

Procession moves on, the shouting is over
Praise to the glory of loved ones now gone Talking aloud as they sit round their tables Scattering flowers washed down by the rain Stood by the gate at the foot of the garden Watching them pass like clouds in the sky Try to cry out in the heat of the moment Possessed by a fury that burns from inside Cry like a child, though these years make me older With children my time is so wastefully spent A burden to keep, though their inner communion Accept like a curse, an unlucky deal Played by the gate at the foot of the garden My view stretches out from the fence to the wall No words could explain, no actions determine Just watching the trees and the leaves as they fall |

Here are the young men, a weight on their shoulders
Here are the young men - well where have they been? We knocked on doors of Hell's darker chambers Pushed to the limits, we dragged ourselves in Watched from the wings as the scenes were replaying We saw ourselves now as we never had seen Portrayal of the traumas and degeneration The sorrows we suffered and never were free Where have they been -- Weary inside, now our heart's lost forever Can't replace the fear or the thrill of the chase These rituals showed up the door for our wanderings Opened and shut, then slammed in our face Where have they been -- |

and ambitions are low And the resentment rides high but emotions won't grow And we're changing our ways, taking different roads Then love, love will tear us apart again (4) Why is the bedroom so cold Turned away on your side? Is my timing that flawed, our respect run so dry? Yet there's still this appeal That we've kept through our lives Love, love will tear us apart again (4) Do you cry out in your sleep All my failings expose? Get a taste in my mouth As desperation takes hold Is it something so good Just can't function no more? When love, love will tear us apart again (4) |

I was there in the back stage When first light came around I grew up like a changeling To win the first time around I can see all the weakness I can pick all the faults Well, I concede all the faith tests just to stick in your throats 3 1 g, 3 1 g, 3 1 g I hung around in your soundtrack To mirror all that you've done To find the right side of reason To kill the three lies for one I can see all the cold facts I can see through your eyes All this talk made no contact No matter how hard we tried 3 1 g, 3 1 g, 3 1 g I can still hear the footsteps I can only see walls I slid into your man-traps With no hearing at all I just see contradiction Had to give up the fight Just to live in the past tense To make believe you were right 3 1 g, 3 1 g, 3 1 g 3,5,0,1,2,5 |

So long sitting here
Didn't hear the warning Waiting for the tape to run We've been moving around in different situations Knowing that the time would come Just to see you torn apart Witness to your empty heart I need it I need it I need it Through the wire screen, the eyes of those standing outside looked in at her as into the cage of some rare creature in a zoo In the hand of one of the assistants she saw the same instrument which they had that morning inserted deep into her body She shuddered instinctively No life at all in the house of dolls No love lost No love lost You've been seeing things In darkness, not in learning Hoping that the truth will pass No life underground, wasting never changing Wishing that this day won't last To never see you show your age To watch until the beauty fades I need it I need it I need it |

Born from some mother's womb
Just like any other room Made a promise for a new life Made a victim out of your life When your time's on the door And it drips to the floor And you feel you can touch All the noise is too much And the seeds that are sown Are no longer your own Just a minor operation To force a final ultimatum Thousand words are spoken loud Reach the dumb to fool the crowd When you walk down the street And the sound's not so sweet And you wish you could hide Maybe go for a ride To some peep show arcade Where the future's not made A nightmare situation Infiltrate imagination Smacks of past Holy wars By the wall with broken laws The leaders of men Born out of your frustration The leaders of men Just a strange infatuation The leaders of men Made a promise for a new life No saviour for our sakes To twist the internees of hate Self induced manipulation To crush all thoughts of mass salvation |

Don't speak of false Messiahs
A failure of the Modern Man To the centre of all life's desires As a whole not an also ran Love in a hollow field Break the image of your father's son Drawn to an inner feel He was thought of as the only one He no longer denies All the failures of the Modern Man He no longer presides Sees the failures of the Modern Man Wise words and sympathy Tell the story of our history New strength gives a real touch Sense and reason make it all too much With a strange fatality Broke the spirits of a lesser man Some other race can see In his way he was the only one He no longer denies All the failures of the Modern Man No, no, he can't pick sides Sees the failures of the Modern Man Now that it's right to decide In his time he was a total man Taken from Caesar's side Kept in silence just to prove who's wrong No, no, he can't pick sides All the failures of the Modern Man No, no longer denies Sees all the failures of the Modern Man |

I've seen the troubles and the evils of this world
I've seen the stretches between Godliness and sin I've heard the promise and confessions of good faith And hypocrisy that always lies within And they left it for you, all of this for you And they left it for you, all of this for you I've seen the products and the other world of waste I've seen the colour of corruption deep within I've seen them lose themselves in dignity and taste To see in black and white and through to black again And they left it for you, all of this for you And they left it for you, all of this for you And they left it for you, all of this for you And they left it for you, everything for you I've seen the troubles and the evils of this world I've seen the ones who could succeed but always lose I've seen what's left of poor technology and worth And watched them dying as they leave their ship of fools And they left it for you, all of this for you And they left it for you, all of this for you |

I walked through the city limits,
Someone talked me in to do it, Attracted by some force within it, Had to close my eyes to get close to it, Around a corner where a prophet lay, Saw the place where she'd had a room to stay, A wire fence where the children played Saw the bed where the body lay, And I was looking for some friends of mine. And I had no time to waste. Yeah, looking for some friends of mine. The cars screeched hear the sound on dust, Heard a noise just a car outside, Metallic blue turned red with rust, Pulled in close by the building's side, In a group all forgotten youth, Had to think, collect my senses now, Are turned on to a knife edged view Find some places where my friends don't know, And I was looking for a friend of mine, And had no time to waste. Yeah, looking for some friends of mine. Down the dark streets, the houses looked the same, Getting darker now, faces look the same, And I walked round and round. No stomach, torn apart, Nail me to a train. Had to think again, trying to find a clue, trying to find a way to get out! Trying to move away, had to move away and keep out. |

To the centre of the city where all roads meet, waiting for you,
To the depths of the ocean where all hopes sank, searching for you, I was moving through the silence without motion, waiting for you, In a room with a window in the corner I found truth. In the shadowplay, acting out your own death, knowing no more, As the assassins all grouped in four lines, dancing on the floor, And with cold streel, odour on their bodies mad a move to connect, But I could only stare in disbelief as the crowds all left. I did everything, everything I wanted to, I let them use you for their own ends, To the centre of the city in the night, waiting for you. To the centre of the city in the night, waiting for you. |

When you're looking at life,
In a strange new room, Maybe drowning soon, Is this the start of it all? Turn on your TV, Turn down your pulse, Turn away from it all, It's all getting too much. When you're looking at life, Deciphering scars, Just who fooled who, Sit still in their cars, The lights look bright, When you reach outside, Time for one last ride, Before the end of it all. |

Guess you dreams always end.
They don't rise up, just descend, But I don't care anymore, I've lost the will to want more, I'm not afraid not at all, I watch them all as they fall, But I remember when we were young. Those with habits of waste, Their sense of style and good taste, Of making sure you were right, Hey don't you know you were right? I'm not afraid anymore, I keep my eyes on the door, But I remember.... Tears of sadness for you, More upheaval for you, Reflects a moment in time, A special moment in time, Yeah we wasted our time, We didn't really have time, But we remember when we were young. And all God's angels beware, And all you judges beware, Sons of chance, take good care, For all the people not there, I'm not afraid anymore, I'm not afraid anymore, I'm not afraid anymore, Oh, I'm not afraid anymore. |

Hearts fail, young hearts fail,
Any time, pressurized, overheat, overtired. Take it quick, take it neat, Clasp your hands, touch your feet. Take it quick, take it neat, Take it quick, take it neat. Hearts fail, young hearts fail, Anytime, wearing down, On the run, underground, Put your hand where it's safe, Leave your hand where it's safe. Do it again, Do it again and again and again. Do it again and again and again. Do it again and again and again. Do it again and again and again. Anytime, that's your right. Don't you wish you do it again, Overheat, overtire. Don't you wish you do it again, Don't you wish you do it again, Don't you wish you do it again, Anytime, that's your right, Don't you wish you do it again, Anytime, that's your right. Don't you wish you do it again, Don't you wish you do it again, I bet you wish you do it again. Do it again. Do it again. Do it again. |

Listen to the silence, let it ring on. Eyes, dark grey lenses frightened of the sun. We would have a fine time living in the night, Left to blind destruction, Waiting for our sight. And we would go on as though nothing was wrong. And hide from these days we remained all alone. Staying in the same place, just staying out the time. Touching from a distance, Further all the time. Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio. Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio. Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio. Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio. Well I could call out when the going gets tough. The things that we've learnt are no longer enough. No language, just sound, that's all we need know, to synchronise love to the beat of the show. And we could dance. Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio. Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio. Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio. Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio. |

That point me to another day, A duel of personalities, That stretch all true realities. That keep calling me, They keep calling me, Keep on calling me, They keep calling me. Where figures from the past stand tall, And mocking voices ring the halls. Imperialistic house of prayer, Conquistadors who took their share. That keep calling me, They keep calling me, Keep on calling me, They keep calling me. Calling me, calling me, calling me, calling me. They keep calling me, Keep on calling me, They keep calling me, They keep calling me. |

I've seen the real atrocities,
Buried in the sand, Stockpiled for safety, While we stand holding hands. I'm living in the Ice age, I'm living in the Ice age, Nothing will hold, Nothing will fit, Into the cold, It's not an eclipse. Living in the Ice age, Living in the Ice age, Living in the Ice age. Searching for another way, Hide behind the door, We'll live in holes and disused shafts, Hopes for little more. I'm living in the Ice age, I'm living in the Ice age, Nothing will hold, Nothing will fit, Into the cold, No smile on your lips, Living in the Ice age, Living in the Ice age, Living in the Ice age. Living in the Ice age, Living in the Ice age, Living in the Ice age. Living in the Ice age |

They drank and killed to pass the time, Wearing the shame of all their crimes, With measured steps, they walked in line. They walked in line, They walked in line, They walked in line, They walked in line, They walked in line, They walked in line, They walked in line, They walked in line.

Full of a glory never seen, They made it through the whole machine, To never question anymore, Hypnotic trance, they never saw, They walked in line, They walked in line, They walked in line, They walked in line, They walked in line, They walked in line, They walked in line, They walked in line, They walked in line, They walked in line, They walked in line, They walked in line, They walked in line, They walked in line, They walked in line, They walked in line, They walked in line, They walked in line, They walked in line, They walked in line, They walked in line, They walked in line, They walked in line, They walked in line, Walked in line, Walked in line. |

The territories marked, No longer the pleasure, Oh, I've since lost the heart. Corrupted from memory, No longer the power, It's creeping up slowly, The last fatal hour. Oh, I don't what made me, What gave me the right, To mess with your values, And change wrong to right. Please keep your distance, The trail leads to here, There's blood on your fingers, Brought on by fear. I campaigned for nothing, I worked hard for this, I tried to get to you, You treat me like this. It's just second nature, It's what we've been shown, We're living by your rules, That's all that we know. I tried to get to you, I tried to get to you, I tried to get to you. I tried to get to you. |

Strain, take the strain, these days we love, Strain, take the strain, these days we love. And the only mistake, led to rumours unfound, Led to pressures unknown, different feelings and sounds, Yeah, the only mistake, like I made once before, Yeah, the only mistake, could have made it before. |

When the routine bites hard
and ambitions are low And the resentment rides high but emotions won't grow And we're changing our ways, taking different roads Then love, love will tear us apart again (4) Why is the bedroom so cold Turned away on your side? Is my timing that flawed, our respect run so dry? Yet there's still this appeal That we've kept through our lives Love, love will tear us apart again (4) Do you cry out in your sleep All my failings expose? Get a taste in my mouth As desperation takes hold Is it something so good Just can't function no more? When love, love will tear us apart again (4) |

A cry for help, a hint of anesthesia,
The sound from broken homes, We used to always meet here. As he lays asleep, she takes him in her arms, Some things I have to do, but I don't mean you harm. A worried parent's glance, a kiss, a last goodbye, Hands him the bag she packed, the tears she tries to hide, A cruel wind that blows down to our lunacy And leaves him standing cold here in this colony. I can't see why all these confrontations, I can't see why all these dislocations, No family life, this makes me feel uneasy, Stood alone here in this colony. In this colony, in this colony, in this colony, in this colony. Dear God in his wisdom took you by the hand, God in his wisdom made you understand. God in his wisdom took you by the hand, God in his wisdom made you understand. God in his wisdom took you by the hand, God in his wisdom made you understand. God in his wisdom took you by the hand, God in his wisdom made you understand. In this colony, in this colony, in this colony, in this colony. |

This is why events unnerve me,
They find it all, a different story, Notice whom for wheels are turning, Turn again and turn towards this time, All she ask's the strength to hold me, Then again the same old story, Word will travel, oh so quickly, Travel first and lean towards this time. Oh, I'll break them down, no mercy shown, Heaven knows, it's got to be this time, Watching her, these things she said, The times she cried, Too frail to wake this time. Oh, I'll break them down, no mercy shown, Heaven knows, it's got to be this time, Avenues all lined with trees, Picture me and then you start watching, Watching forever, forever, Watching love grow, forever, Letting me know, forever. |

Love that was special for one The waste in the fever I heat How I wish you were here with me now Body that curls in and dies And shares that awful daylight Warm like a dog round your feet How I wish you were here with me now Hangman looks round as he waits Cord stretches tight then it breaks Someday we will die in your dreams How I wish we were here with you now |

I travelled far and wide through many different times,
What did you see there? I saw the saints with their toys, What did you see there? I saw all knowledge destroyed. I travelled far and wide through many different times. I travelled far and wide through prisons of the cross, What did you see there? The power and glory of sin, What did you see there? The blood of Christ on their skins, I travelled far and wide thorugh many different times. I travelled far and wide and unknown martyrs died, What did you see there? I saw the one sided trials, What did you see there? I saw the tears as they cried, They had tears in their eyes, Tears in their eyes, Tears in their eyes, Tears in their eye. |

Confusion in her eyes that says it all.
She's lost control. And she's clinging to the nearest passer by, She's lost control. And she gave away the secrets of her past, And said I've lost control again, And a voice that told her when and where to act, She said I've lost control again. And she turned to me and took me by the hand and said, I've lost control again. And how I'll never know just why or understand, She said I've lost control again. And she screamed out kicking on her side and said, I've lost control again. And seized up on the floor, I thought she'd die. She said I've lost control again. She's lost control again. She's lost control. She's lost control again. She's lost control. Well I had to 'phone her friend to state her case, And say she's lost control again. And she showed up all the errors and mistakes, And said I've lost control again. But she expressed herself in many different ways, Until she lost control again. And walked upon the edge of no escape, And laughed I've lost control again. She's lost control again. She's lost control. She's lost control again. She's lost control. I could live a little better with permissible (the miserable?) lies, When the darkness broke in, I just broke down and cried. I could live a little in a wider line, When the change is done, when the dare is gone, To lose control. When the dare is gone... |

Could these sensations make me feel the pleasures of a normal man? These sensations barely interest me for another day, I've got the spirit, lose the feeling, take the shock away. It's getting faster, moving faster now, it's getting out of hand, On the tenth floor, down the back stairs, it's a no man's land, Lights are flashing, cars are crashing, getting frequent now, I've got the spirit, lose the feeling, let it out somehow. What means to you, what means to me, and we will meet again, I'm watching you, I'm watching her, I'll take no pity from you friends, Who is right, who can tell, and who gives a damn right now, Until the spirit new sensation takes hold, then you know, Until the spirit new sensation takes hold, then you know, Until the spirit new sensation takes hold, then you know, I've got the spirit, but lose the feeling, I've got the spirit, but lose the feeling, Feeling, feeling, feeling, feeling, feeling, feeling, feeling. |

Where people had paid to see inside, For entertainment they watch his body twist Behind his eyes he says, 'I still exist.' This is the way, step inside. This is the way, step inside. This is the way, step inside. This is the way, step inside. In arenas he kills for a prize, Wins a minute to add to his life. But the sickness is drowned by cries for more, Pray to God, make it quick, watch him fall. This is the way, step inside. This is the way, step inside. This is the way, step inside. This is the way, step inside. This is the way. This is the way. This is the way. This is the way. This is the way, step inside. This is the way, step inside. This is the way, step inside. This is the way, step inside. You'll see the horrors of a faraway place, Meet the architects of law face to face. See mass murder on a scale you've never seen, And all the ones who try hard to succeed. This is the way, step inside. This is the way, step inside. This is the way, step inside. This is the way, step inside. And I picked on the whims of a thousand or more, Still pursuing the path that's been buried for years, All the dead wood from jungles and cities on fire, Can't replace or relate, can't release or repair, Take my hand and I'll show you what was and will be. |

A worried parent's glance, a kiss, a last goodbye, Hands him the bag she packed, the tears she tries to hide, A cruel wind that blows down to our lunacy And leaves him standing cold here in this colony. I can't see why all these confrontations, I can't see why all these dislocations, No family life, this makes me feel uneasy, Stood alone here in this colony. In this colony, in this colony, in this colony, in this colony. Dear God in his wisdom took you by the hand, God in his wisdom made you understand. God in his wisdom took you by the hand, God in his wisdom made you understand. God in his wisdom took you by the hand, God in his wisdom made you understand. God in his wisdom took you by the hand, God in his wisdom made you understand. In this colony, in this colony, in this colony, in this colony. |

Won't someone give me a gun?
Oh, well, it's for my brother Well, he writes the line, wrote right down my spine It says, "Oh, do you believe in love there?" So slow down, slow down, you're taking me over And so we drown, sir, we drown, stop taking me over Won't someone give me some fun? As the skin flies all around us We kiss in his room to a popular tune Oh, real drowners So slow down, slow down, you're taking me over And so we drown, sir, we drown, stop taking me over Slow down, slow down, you're taking me over And so we drown, sir, we drown, stop taking me over You're taking me over You're taking me over You're taking me over You're taking me over Stop taking me over You're taking me over You're taking me over You're taking me over |

Procession moves on, the shouting is over
Praise to the glory of loved ones now gone Talking aloud as they sit round their tables Scattering flowers washed down by the rain Stood by the gate at the foot of the garden Watching them pass like clouds in the sky Try to cry out in the heat of the moment Possessed by a fury that burns from inside Cry like a child, though these years make me older With children my time is so wastefully spent A burden to keep, though their inner communion Accept like a curse, an unlucky deal Played by the gate at the foot of the garden My view stretches out from the fence to the wall No words could explain, no actions determine Just watching the trees and the leaves as they fall |

Instincts that can still betray us,
A journey that leads to the sun, Soulless and bent on destruction, A struggle between right and wrong. You take my place in the showdown, I'll observe witha pitiful eye, I'll humbly ask for forgiveness, A request well beyond you and I. Heart and soul, one will burn. Heart and soul, one will burn. An abyss that laughs at creation, A circus complete with all fools, Foundations that lasted the ages, Then ripped apart at their roots. Beyond all this goo's is the terror, The grip of a mercenary hand, When savagery turns all good reason, There's no turning back, no last stand. Heart and soul, one will burn. Heart and soul, one will burn. Existence well what does it matter? I exist on the best terms I can. The past is now part of my future, The present is well out of hand. The present is well out of hand. Heart and soul, one will burn. Heart and soul, one will burn. One will burn, one will burn. Heart and soul, one will burn. |

In fear every day, every evening
He calls her aloud from above Carefully watched for a reason Painstaking devotion and love Surrendered to self preservation From others who care for themselves A blindness that touches perfection But hurts just like anything else Isolation, isolation, isolation Mother, I tried please belief me I'm doing the best that I can I'm ashamed of the things I've been put through I'm ashamed of the person I am Isolation, isolation, isolation But if you could just see the beauty These things I could never describe This is my one lucky prize This is my one lucky prize Isolation, isolation, isolation Isolation |

Confusion in her eyes that says it all.
She's lost control. And she's clinging to the nearest passer by, She's lost control. And she gave away the secrets of her past, And said I've lost control again, And a voice that told her when and where to act, She said I've lost control again. And she turned to me and took me by the hand and said, I've lost control again. And how I'll never know just why or understand, She said I've lost control again. And she screamed out kicking on her side and said, I've lost control again. And seized up on the floor, I thought she'd die. She said I've lost control again. She's lost control again. She's lost control. She's lost control again. She's lost control. Well I had to 'phone her friend to state her case, And say she's lost control again. And she showed up all the errors and mistakes, And said I've lost control again. But she expressed herself in many different ways, Until she lost control again. And walked upon the edge of no escape, And laughed I've lost control again. She's lost control again. She's lost control. She's lost control again. She's lost control. I could live a little better with permissible (the miserable?) lies, When the darkness broke in, I just broke down and cried. I could live a little in a wider line, When the change is done, when the dare is gone, To lose control. When the dare is gone... |
