"Dark Road"

It's a dark road
And a dark way that leads to my house
And the word says
You're never gonna find me there oh no
I've got an open door
It didn't get there by itself
It didn't get there by itself

There's a feelin
But you're not feelin' it at all
There's a meaning
But you're not listening any more
I look at that open road
I'm gonna walk there by myself

And if you catch me
I might try to run away
You know I can't be here too long
And if you let me
I might try to make you stay
Seems you never realise a good thing
Till it's gone..
Maybe im still searchin
But I dont know what it means
All the fires of destruction are still
Burnin' in my dreams
There's no water that can wash away
This longin' to come clean
Hey yea yea....

I cant find the joy within my soul
It's just sadness takin hold
I wanna come in from the cold
And make myself renewed again
It takes strength to live this way
The same old madness every day
I wanna kick these blues away
I wanna learn to live again...

It's a dark road
And a dark way that leads to my house
And the word says
You're never gonna find me there oh no
I've got an open door
It didn't get there by itself
It didn't get there by itself

"Fingernail Moon"

Fingernail moon
Up in the sky
Come out and see me
See me sometimes
'cause I'm here alone
Stuck in the blue
No distance between us
Between me and you
I've got nothing to hide
I've got nothing to lose
You'll be by my side
C'mon tell me the truth

Elegant moon
You cut like a knife
It does me no favours
To stay out of my sight
Suspended like glass
All ancient and new
Allof space lies between us
Between me and you
There's no need to be shy
There's no need to be scared
I need you tonight
Come on out if you dare

I'm just a girl with my feet on the ground
I'm just a girl with my head goin' round
I feel so sad
There's something unsettling under my skin
I don't know the reason or where to begin
Caught in the circles I've found myself in
But I want to reach out and touch you
My sweet sickle moon
Up wi the sky
Come out and see me
See me sometimes
'cause I'm here alone
After all we've been throuch
With the distance between us
Between me and you
It dont matter how long
Itdon't matter howear
I'll meet you tonight
Under the stars

"Ghosts In My Machine"

Oh come and take this pain away
Oh come and take this pain away
Oh come and set my spirit free

I've seen too much
I know too much
I hurt too much
I feel too much
I dread too much
I dream too much
I'm caught up by the ghosts in my machine

I'm bruised and battered by the storm
Can't find a place to keep me warm
My mind is broken and forlorn

I think too much
I do too much
I fall too much
I fail too much
I cry too much
I die too much
I'm haunted by the ghosts in my machine

Give me some of that medicine
To make me forget
(i can't find it)
I need something easier
(can't find it)
'cuz I ain't found it yet
I ain't found it yet
I ain't found it
Oh no no no

Oh womankind was born of pain
My soul keeps hurting just the same
Oh come and take this pain away

I give too much
Get used too much
I lose too much
Get bruised too much
I bleed too much
I need too much
I'm sleeping with the ghosts in my machine

I said I love you baby
Guess I always do
I said I love to baby
Guess I always do
I said I love you baby
Guess I always do

"Lost"

This is the sound of the planes in the night
Coming out of the darkness
And into the light
Shining alarmingly
Curiously bright

This is the sound of those murderous drums
The marching of footsteps
The twisting of thumbs
Over and over
Again here it comes

We're lost
(baby come again don't let me fall)
We're lost
(baby come again despite it all)
Were lost
(baby come)
(baby come)

Tell me the story
'bout when you were young
I want to hear it again
Leave in the part
Where the hero gets stung
I want to savour it
I want to play it again

This is the sound of a baby's first breath
The dying of footsteps
The touching of flesh
To hold in your memory
To keep by your chest

We're lost
So lost
Lost

"Love Is Blind"

Oh... sugar
When ya gonna come?
I spend my life gettin older
But you still got me on the run
When ya gonna come?

Oh. . sweetness
When will you mine?
I spend my days getting' colder
But I still want you all the time

Oh the grass is growin greener
On the other side
Nothing else has meaning
When I got you on my mind
I so wanna see you
Don't they say that love is blind?
Oh love is blind
Love is blind

I got so much trouble gettin into this
Can't decide if its hell or bliss
Sometimes I feel like I dont exist
Cut my veins and slit my wrists
Goodbye
Goodbye

That's all she wrote
As she tied that knot around her throat
Wipe my eyes
Dry my tears
Wait for you for a thousand years

Oh lover
Make me yours again
Even though your thrill is gone
All my fellins still remain
Even though your thrill is gone
I'm gonna love you just the same

Can't you see that i'm addicted
To the notion of a someone
Who could take me from this wretched state
Save me from the bitterness and hatred of humanity
Its so screwed up

Tired of bein' down on luck
Tired of bein' beaten up
Tired of bein' so screwed up
Tired of all this desperation
Tired of all this mad frustration
Tired of all the aggravation
Sick and tired of devastation
Give it some consideration

"Smithereens"

I saw your picture
It made me sorry
For all the things
I never said
It seems that you
Have cause to worry
It seems that you
Don't wish me well

Behind the victim
Behind the trouble
Are all the things
You've not expressed
I see you standing behind your mother
I see you hiding behind her dress

So don't make me sad
I couldn't stand to watch you fall
'cause everybody has a tender heart
Remember this
I didn't mean to break it down to smithereens

I heard you crying
I learned the story
I saw the shadows behind the past
They fall behind you
And creep up slowly
We're only human
Behind the mask

So don't take me down
I couldn't stand to watch you fall
'cause everybody has a broken heart
Remember this
I couldn't stand to break it down to smithereens

And you say
Everybody is an island of their own
And you say
Everybody has a tender heart
Remember this
I couldn't stand to break it down to smithereens

I didn't mean to break it down
I didn't mean to smithereens
Everybody is an island to themselves
Don't you know
Everybody is an island to themselves

"Through The Glass Darkly"

I'm caught up in the middle
But I'll take it to the end
It's comin back together
And it's breakin' down again
If I could find a reason
I'd say you were my friend
If I could find a reason
I'd say it once again

When I'm with you the days are bittersweet
Still I can't remember what it feels to be complete
I've tried pretending
But it drives me of my feet

I don't know what its coming to
But I'm looking through
The glass darkly... yea

Bright lights
Come and go
Playin' blues songs on my radio
Shadows still. appear
In the house tonight
Ooh yea
Ghosts that come in from the past
All those ghosts that keep on comin' back
Slidin' through the walls
And my windows
Ooh yea

When I'm with you
The nights are cold and long
Still can't remember what
It feels like to be strong
I've tried to blend in
But it seems I don't belong
I don't know what it's comin' to
But I'm looking through the glass darkly... yea
Can I find you? can I find you? I can't find you... yea

"Womankind"

One more time for the womankind
This is for the womankind
Check it out

Ooh baby's got precious eyes
And when he smiles the sun comes shinin'
To make the day seem like each cloud contains a silver linin'
I would be so happy
If he belonged with me forever
But I know it's not to be
It's not part of my destination

I wish I had a lover who could turn this water into wine
I wish I had a lover who could give me love at any time
Wish I had so many things
And all my wishes would come true
It's got me thinkin' that I want to get too close to you

Hear my prayer
I'm tired of waitin '
Hear my prayer
Give it a chance
Hear my prayer
I'm clearly statin'
I need to change this circumstance

You could be the best damn thing
That hasnt happened yet to me
You could be the best thing
To come into my mythology
We could have the kinda dream they call a great affinity
Want to turn it into something like reality
Hold me now
I'm tired of waitin'
Hold me now
1'm askin' you
Hold me now
No more anticipatin'
Why won't you come to my rescue?

Ooh babys got precious eyes
And when he smiles
The sun comes blastin'
I wish that feellin' of contentment
Would be everlasting
I would be so happy
To give him all my dedication
I would be so happy
But its only my imagination

Ooh...
This is for the womankind
Ooh...
Singin' for the womankiho
Ooh...
Thats right for the womankind
Ooh...

How many doors must I go through
These constant dreams that I pursue
I can see possibilities in you
Yea here we go again
Is this too good to be true?
I had this thing galled love
Still don't know what it is
Maybe i've had enough
Oh save me please
All my wants are becoming needs
Tell me what you feel
Stripped bare for you to see
Yea every desire go through the fire
This is what I give of me
If I could just be free
Baby won't you rescue me?
Baby won't you rescue me?
Every desire go through the fire
Lay me down
I wanna be
Under your skin
