"Secret Oktober"

Wise on a birthday party in a world full of surprising fireworks
And sudden silence shhh
Lying on a strangers bed the new day breaks like a speeding train or an old friend
Ever expected but never knocking
Holding your own in a battered car all night parties cocktail bars
And smile when the butterfly escapes the killing jar

Sure eyes awake before the dancing is over wise or naked in secret Oktober

Freefall on a windy morning shore nothing but a fading track of footsteps
Could prove that you never been there
Spoken on a cotton cloud like the sound of gunshot taken by the wind
And lost in distant thunder racing on a shining plain
And tomorrow you'll be content to watch as the lightning plays along the wires and you'll wonder

Sure eyes awake before the dancing is over wise or naked in secret Oktober
Sure eyes awake before the dancing is over wise or naked in secret oktober

"Serious"

Oh woman you make me feel
Like I'm on fire
Oh woman you make it real
It's the only way for me
So if we sometimes fight
Doesn't mean we got problems
Ain't always black and white
'n who cares anyway?

Doesn't have to be serious
Doesn't have to be serious
Serious
Doesn't have to be serious
Doesn't have to be serious

Oh baby you get so wild
Too much understanding
Oh baby you're such a child
Full up with on love and tears and cryin'
Don't worry if you're confused
We all tend to be sometimes
The whole world is getting used
That's just the way it is...

May be right, ooh it may be wrong
Doesn't have to be serious
Being hard isn't being strong
Doesn't have to be serious
Fighting for love, fighting for pain
Doesn't have to be serious
And if you win, oh what do you gain?
Doesn't have to be serious

Ooh, doesn't have to be serious
Maybe right, oh but maybe wrong
Doesn't have to be serious
Fighting for love, fighting for pain
Doesn't have to be serious
And if you win, oh what do you gain?
Doesn't have to be serious
Maybe right, oh but maybe wrong
Doesn't have to be serious
Being hard, isn't being strong

"Shadows On Your Side"

Shackled and raised for a shining crowd
They want you to speak but the music is louder than
All of their roar with the heat of the planet's core-but

[CHORUS]
The shadows are on your side
As soon as the lights go down
In the darkest place you can find
You belong to the hands of the night

Promises made with a distant friend
Truth should be known it can only bend
To a tune of its own
Hey you'll never hear that voice again
Scandal in white on a tangled vine
With everybody to say that you're having the
Time of your life when your life is on the slide-but

[CHORUS]

Spinning a compass to choose your way
You can run you can dive you can stand and you can soar
Whichever way you can be sure-that

[CHORUS]

Shadows on your side
The shadows are on your side

"She's Too Much"

She's gentle to the touch
She's everything head first
So happy to be causing trouble

Sometimes
The pressure gets too much
And you think she's going to burst
And shatter like a Christmas bauble

I'll be there when the world is
coming down upon her
When she's scared, I'll be there
Fighting in her corner

She cries when she's alone
For all life's little knocks
Everything is supposed to make us tougher
Thinking is doesn't really show
But I know how she hurts
And I can't bare to see her suffer

I'll be there when the world is
coming down upon her
When she's scared, I'll be there
Fighting in her corner
I'll be there when the walls are closing to surround her
In the air as she falls with my arms around her

Holding on I'm looking out for
Her thin skin
Because she's everything
and I don't think she knows

She's such a gentle touch
She's too much a gentle touch
She likes to catch the sun
Plays with it like a ball
And never mind whatever keeps it burning
Someday, she might just be the one
Whose going to save us all
If this Apocalypse is coming

I'll be there when the world is
coming down upon her
When she's scared, I'll be there
Fighting in her corner
I'll be there when the walls are closing to surround her
In the air as she falls with my arms around her

Holding on I'm looking out for
Her thin skin
Because she's everything
and I don't think she knows

I don't think she knows
I don't think she knows
(she's too much)
I don't think she knows
(she's too much) a gentle touch

"Shelter"

Just come softly to me in the shelter of my heart

I watch you from my window working this vicious road
You shudder when the wind blows
Girl you're looking beat and cold
Don't know your situation but you look so alone to me
In my imagination this is how the message reads

Reaching out, calling out for your love, babe
Just come softly to me
Reaching out, calling out for your love
For your love, babe
In the shelter of my heart

Trust my intuition, you're the one I've got to know
I give without condition, wouldn't try to save your soul
Money or reputation doesn't mean a thing to me
Special communication - it's the only thing we need

Reaching out... Calling out
Just come softly to me
Calling out... Hear me now
In the shelter of my heart

Reaching out
(Reaching out calling out for your love babe)
Hear me now
Calling out do you read me?
(In the shelter of my heart)
Calling out...
(Reaching out calling out for your love, for your love babe)
Hear me now
Just come softly to me

[Mid]

Here is no hurt to feel
Here is safe for lips unsealed
In the shelter of my heart

Reaching out calling out for your love, babe
Just come softly to me
Reaching out calling out for your love, for your love, babe
In the shelter of my heart

[x2]
Reaching out
Hear me now
Calling out
Do you read me?

Reaching out
(Reaching out calling out for your love, for your love babe)
Hear me now
Calling out
Do you read me?
[repeat to fade]

"Shotgun"

Get it together
Thing is jumpin'
I wanna see your
Bullets pumpin'

Shotgun

Itchy finger
On the trigger
Got to make the
Shooter bigger

Shotgun

"Silent Icy River"

Follow the love we receive
Holding onto what you believe
Following the life we receive
Holding onto what you believe
following the love

Following the love we receive
Holding onto what you believe
Following the life we receive
Holding onto what you believe

Time is a ribbon
A silent icy river fools us all
Running deep,deep and fast enough to get lost down in the flow
Thrashing around me tiny lives mean everything

Follow the love we receive
Holding onto what you believe
Following the life we receive
Holding onto what you believe

"Silva Halo"

You shine
Where others fade
You dare
To be so brave

Don't compromise
No one can touch you
Just believe
Just believe

Come to heaven, silva halo
Come to heaven, silva halo
Silva halo
Silva halo

"Sin Of The City"

Coat check girl up in Happyland
Has a violent row with a Cuban man
Julio leaves in a drunken rage
Comes back with the gasoline
The club has no fire exit
The club had no door
Only five people came out alive

The sin is that 89 died
89 dead
89 dead
89 dead
89 dead

The sin is that a year and a half
Before the fire chief's out
And he's raising cain brands
Happyland hazzard close down but no.

No-one ever paid him no mind
City living heavy trouble
City living rough
We are given angry heart
But angers not enough

Daily News reviews of the landlords life
Found six thousand code violations light.
The city has more a hundred thousand wars
All for one of Forbes' Four Hundred whores.
Just one fire cracker on a big bonfire
Of self serving penny pinching wiseguy style.
Never allowing for the human condition.
The sin is that these guys survive.

City living heavy trouble
City living rough.
We are given angry heart
But anger's not enough... rpt.

You're using your people up.
Stop killing your people now.
Stop wasting your people now
Sin of the City.

"Skin Divers"

Walking under skies
Waiting for the fall
Meet me at the cornershop I'll show you it all
Free you of your mind
Something you wont find
In the west-end pages with your google dirty fingers

It's a skin dive
In deep silence we are
Going underwater
It's a lifeline
Teardrop, bullets, all night
Dip into the water

[Rap:]
Baby, that's what it feels like when you come up for air
When you come up for air
You feel brand new
When you come up for air
When you come up for air
That's what it feels like when you come up for air
When you come up for air
You feel brand new
When you come up for air
When you come up for air

Wipe us of the face
Of the human race
Whichever way you look it's indisposed or disgraced
Fighting on the shore
The hoi polloi want more
Howling bloody murder but it's nothing just a murmur

In your skin dive
In deep silence we are
Going underwater
It's a lifeline
Teardrop, bullets, all night
Slip into the water

[Rap:]
Baby....that's what it feels like when you come up for air
When you come up for air
You feel brand new
When you come up for air
When you come up for air
That's what it feels like when you come up for air
When you come up for air
You feel brand new
When you come up for air
When you come up for air

A blushing rose is torn
From these sugar walls
I've misplaced my future could I please borrow yours?
Panic on the scene
You know what I mean
Anything you want to be the only thing you want from me

Is skin dive
In deep silence we are
Going underwater
It's a lifeline
Teardrop, bullets, all night
Go inside the water

[Rap:]
Babygirl you're swimming
A little too deep
So deep....that I think you might hit a reef
I think you low on oxygen
And you're too glad to leave
Babygirl swim to the top
Grab my hand and hold me and breathe

Baby....that's what it feels like when you come up for air
When you come up for air
You feel brand new
When you come up for air
When you come up for air
That's what it feels like when you come up for air
When you come up for air
You feel brand new
When you come up for air
When you come up for air
