"Wait For The Sunrise"

   
I was born an only son
Didn't take to the rules, like a normal child
Prisoner of things I've done
It's the price you pay livin' fast and wild
I've spent too many nights
Lookin' over my shoulder
And the ways of the world make a heart
Grow colder
Got nowhere left to hide
The fight in me has died
So I must wait for the sunrise
Friend to fear and loaded gun

Live life like the owner of a heart of stone
No one touches, touch no one
But the road gets weary when you're all alone
I've spent too many nights
Lookin' over my shoulder
And the ways of the world make a heart
Grow colder
Got nowhere left to hide
The fight in me has died
So I must wait for the sunrise
Too much done to undo
No one I can run to
I need one more chance to live my life again
I've spent too many nights lookin'
Over
My shoulder
And the ways of the world make a heart
Grow colder
Got nowhere left to hide
The fight in me has died
So I must wait for the sunrise

"Children Of The Night"

   
All that I know in my life,
I have learned on the street
No magic carpet, no genie, no shoes on my feet
Will I wake up from this nightmare?
A fear that chills me to the bone
Though I may be one of many
I feel so all alone

We are the children of the night
We won't go down without a fight
Our voice is strong, our future's bright
And thanks to what we learned from you
We've grown into the children of the night

Left by my father with only this scar on my face
Told by my mother that,
'no, you were just a mistake'
I have tasted my own hunger
Sold my body to survive
Some have paid to scratch the surface
But they can't touch what's inside

We are the children of the night
We won't go down without a fight
Our voice is strong, our future's bright
And thanks to what we learned from you
We've grown into the children of the night

How I long for something better
Than this life I know too well
Lord, I know I'm bound for heaven
Cause I've done my time in hell

We are the children of the night
We won't go down without a fight
Our voice is strong, our future's bright
And thanks to what we learned from you
We've grown into the children of the night

"Love Unemotional"

   
Victim of temptation
Can't make it go away
You see it and you want it baby
Never hear a word I say
You know I don't want nothing I don't deserve
Oh, no I won't take less than I know I'm worth

All this talking makes me feel like a monkey in a cage
Ain't no point in trying to change a man of my age

[Chorus 1:]
Love unemotional, purely physical
What I'm staying for's a mystery to me
Love unemotional, the heart's invisible
Love unemotional is what you want from me

People say I'm crazy
Wonder why I play your game
Sure beats feeling lonely, baby
But the story ends the same
I want to feel like I'm living in a fairy tale
Don't want to be just another broken heart for sale

Do I have to hit my knees and beg for something more
Maybe this is not the love I've waited for

[Chorus 2:]
Love unemotional, simply physical
What I'm staying for is a mystery to me
Love unemotional, the girl's insatiable
Love unemotional is what you want from me

You feel no shame in being so unkind
All touch and zero feeling
I don't see a way of changing your mind

Girl this kind of life is bound to leave you all alone
The light inside your heart is on, but no one's home

[Chorus 1]
[Chorus 2]

"Playing With Fire"

   
Hey, you got the look of a lonely woman's eyes,
What'cha thinking when you're standing so close to me?
Ain't no law says a man can't fantasize,
There's a secret locked up in you tight
Ooh! I'd love to turn the key.
Whoah, playing with fire...fighting my desire, baby...
...my conscience is a liar.
Oh, lord, have mercy on the shameless sinner...!
...walking on a wire, now i...i face the crucifier,
What'cha doin' to me?
Live by rules made up by society,
But I guess I must have missed election day
'cause so much about you looks so good to me, yeah!
For what I'm thinking I could go to jail,
But some laws are born to break...
...stakes are getting higher, now i...
...i think I'm losin' it...

"Keep Coming Back"

   
You know just how to hurt me
And how to take all the pain away
Girl, you must be the devil in disguise
There were tiimes, I think you knew
When I was so afraid of you
There's some kind of madness in your eyes

You know a place buried deep in my heart
Nobody else can see
Something in you has taken some kind of hold on me

I don't know why I keep coming back to you, baby
I don't know why I keep coming back to you
To you baby

You say we shouldn't be lovers
And I say we can't just be friends
And all this talking just makes me want you more
You've got a way of confusing a heart
That nobody else could do
Why should I try, I don't want to get over you

I don't know why I keep coming back to you, baby
Just tell me why I keep coming back to you
I don't know why I keep coming back to you, baby
Tell me why I keep coming back to you

I'm so in love, so in love with the games that you play
So in love, and nothing can keep me away

You've got a way of confusing a heat
That nobody else could do
Why should I try, I don't want to get over you

I don't know why I keep coming back to you, baby
I don't know why I keep coming back to you
To you baby

"Take This Heart"

   
I've been where you are before
No one understands it more
You fear every step you take
So sure that your heart will break

It's not how the story ends
You'll be back on your feet again

[Chorus:]
Baby, this time
There ain't nothing gonna take this heart away
No more goodbyes
There ain't nothing gonna take my heart away

The pain's still alive in you
For what one man put you through
You say that we're all the same
But I'm called by no other name

We all need a place to run
Won't you let me be the one

[Chorus]

Don't keep the dream in you locked outside your door
Just believe in this love
And don't be afraid anymore

I need you to please be strong
I've waited for you too long

[Chorus]

"Hazard"

   
My mother came to hazard when I was just seven
Even then the folks in town said with predjudiced eyes
That boy's not right
Three years ago when I came to know mary
First time that someone looked beyond the rumors and the lies
And saw the man inside

We used to walk down by the river
She loved to watch the sun go down
We used to walk along the river
And dream our way out of this town

No one understood what I felt for mary
No one cared until the night she went out walking alone
And never came home
Man with a badge came knocking next morning
Here was I surrounded by a thousand fingers suddenly
Pointed right at me

I swear I left her by the river
I swear I left her safe and sound
I need to make it to the river
And leave this old nebraska town

I think about my life gone by
And how it's done me wrong
There's no escape for me this time
All of my rescues are gone, long gone

I swear I left her by the river
I swear I left her safe and sound
I need to make it to the river
And leave this old nebraska town

"Hands In Your Pocket"

   
We're all victims of the system, still we love to place the blame,
We're running out of choices and there's no rules to the game.
I'm getting tired of feeling this way,
What can a single man do? what can he say?
Every day you walk the edge of a knife,
You're left with nothing at the end of your life.
They've got their hands in your pocket,
They'll take the clothes off your back...
...they'll stop you like a heart attack.
We put people into power but we fight our wars alone,
They take such good care of the rest of the world,
But, what about the folks?
At home, oh yeah! point the finger at the man you chose,
He'll say he's sorry, but it's just the way it goes.
He sits in judgement like a king on a throne,
'till that november when he'll beg for a bone...
...brother, don't ignore the facts...!

"Calling You"

   
I had a dream that you stood right in front of me
And called to me in black and white
Though I could see you / I couldn't reach you
You faded into the light
And when the sun turns a dream to reality
I'm left with such an empty space
I feel your spirit / know that I'm near it
I swear I can see your face
Hear me calling you / calling you
But you just don't seem to answer anymore

Am I supposed to pretend I don't feel the pain
Like it happened only yesterday
No use in trying / to stop the crying
I can't make it go away
Hear me calling you / calling you
But you just don't seem to answer anymore
I'm calling you / calling you
And I'm afraid you won't answer anymore

Where is the healing you promised me
Maybe this feeling will burn in me forever
Hear me calling you / calling you
But you just don't seem to answer anymore
I'm calling you / calling you
And I'm afraid you won't answer anymore
Calling you and I'm afraid that you won't answer anymore

"Superstar"

   
You're the queen of your own little world, you really made a splash,
Got the offers rollin' in, but you're nothing more
Than high paid trash.
Everybody wants to know what goes on in your head,
Pity if they found out that you're lonely in your bed.
Maybe it all happened to you just a little too fast.
Won't let anybody touch you? so you do it for yourself.
Plain to see there's a woman cryin' out for help.
You're a superstar, but you don't know who you are,
And your money won't get you very far.
You're a mystery, nothing can set you free,
Your demons haunt you endlessly.
You face the end of your youth in a tired little masquerade,
You talk to people with a tongue like a newly sharpened razor blade.
Yours is not a life that lets you take a look inside,
Morals and convictions meet a fate of genocide,
But in the end you'll be sleeping in the bed you made.
All you want's a daddy, the one you never had,
A need for understanding aching in you bad...
...it seems so clear to me, there's something that you'd rather be.
Take a look around you now, before it's much too late,
Make the choice to change, or be a victim of your fate.
All your life, you've been running from the girl inside...
...oh, but it's plain to see there's someone...
