"A Thousand Years"


Day after day
I feel myself slowing down
What does it mean?
The air has changed
It's getting harder to breath
Or so it would seem
Sail me away to a distant shore
Where everything's fine

A thousand years
Lost in the blink of an eye
If the sky keeps fallin'
The world will come tumblin' down
In a thousand years

Tell me my friend
Can you imagine a place
Free of boundaries and lies
There's blood on the wind
And it's come all of the way from faraway skies
Take me away to a different world
Where everything's fine

A thousand years
Lost in the blink of an eye
If the sky keeps fallin'
The world will come tumblin' down
In a thousand years

A thousand years
One day for every life
Just keep on going
We'll find you a home underground
In a thousand years

[Instrumental break]

Sail me away to a distant shore
Where everything's fine

A thousand years
Lost in the blink of an eye
If the sky keeps fallin'
The world will come tumblin' down
In a thousand years

A thousand years
One day for every life
Just keep on going
We'll find you a home underground
In a thousand years

(Sail me away to a distant shore
where everything's fine)

"Afraid Of Love"


You stole my heart the moment you came to town
I said hello but you were gone when I turned around
You can't get away, can't get away, even if you try now
I wanna tell you but the words just can't be found

I like the way you move and just the way you are
I can't take anymore, 'cause girl, you're pushing too hard
You can't get away, can't let you go, what's a boy to do now
You got me asking myself how I survived this far

I gotta get away from you, girl

[Chorus:]
'Cause I've never been afraid of love 'till I met you
Never thought a girl could make me feel the way you do
Never been afraid of love 'till I met you
Ooh, yes you say

[Instrumental break]

I'll give you something that you never ever had
When I start to think about you, it makes me laugh
You took me by surprise, I saw it in your eyes, I never had a chance, girl
Now that I see what you are, it doesn't hurt so bad

[Repeat chorus]

"After You've Gone"


You're just a mile away
One thousand five tiny steps from here
But if I brought you near
Would you believe when I say
It seems like yesterday
That I could reach out and touch your face
But as I fall from grace
Into whose arms can I lay

It's always much too late
We get the signs
We can't communicate
Or turn back time

[Chorus:]
So what will be now
Do you feel somehow
Not so together and not quite as strong
Now I believe
Alone doesn't have to mean lonely
After you've gone

I need a healing wind
To cool the flame burning in my sight
It must accelerate
For two wrongs they don't make a right

And all these solitaires, lone victories
Wars fought in isolation, with none to please

[Chorus]

[Instrumental break]

The future's still uncertain
The past is done

[Chorus]

Now I believe
Alone doesn't have to mean lonely
After you've gone

Now I believe
Alone doesn't have to mean lonely
After you've gone

"All Us Boys"


All us boys like to drink and smoke
Pull off a joke
Blow your minds and leave
Hot tires behind

All us boys like to fight and kick
Carry a stick
We're getting older
And acting bolder

Mothers tell your daughters
To stay away from Rock 'n Roll
'Cause it may entice them
And mesmerize them
Even satisfy their soul

I'm sure mama told you 'bout making love
And the skies above
With its fallen angels
Diet pills
Female thrills
But mama never told you 'bout
All us boys

Mothers tell your daughters
To stay away from rock and roll
'Cause it may entice them
And mesmerize them
Even satisfy their soul

All us boys just want to play
All us boys won't run away

"Angel Don't Cry"


Uncanny woman
You weaved your spell on me
I was taken by the look in your eyes
For all the wrong reasons
You must have been a spiteful child
Full of anger
Raised by the hand of a dutchess, a mother and a heathen

You laid your tender trap of crystal and wine
Your neck was sweet enlaced with a scent I did not mind

I can't lie
I can't lie
I can't lie
Angel don't cry
Angel don't cry

Queen of darkness
You got your way with me
You caressed every part of me soul
You got what you were after
A savage and an angel
You innocently hunger for love
I'm still shivering from the coldness of you laughter

You laid your tender trap of crystal and wine
Your neck was sweet enlaced with a scent I did not mind

I can't lie
I can't lie
I can't lie
Angel don't cry
Angel don't cry
No, angel don't cry
Angel don't cry
No, no, no

"Angela"


Can't eat, can't sleep
Can't seem to find time anymore
Somewhere she weeps
Her hair gently brushes the floor
I know my way
I know that I'll find her somehow

Angela carries me back to the time
When I knew that her love was still mine
Angela's holding the child in her womb
And I pray that she will be calling soon

Cold moon, dark sky
I'm watching my mind disappear
She sits alone
Not knowing that I am so near
Why can't she hear my voice as I call out her name

Angela carries me back to the time
When I knew that her love was still mine
Angela's holding the child in her womb
And I pray that she will be calling soon

It's a silly situation
It's just infatuation
No need to be sorry

Can't eat, can't sleep
Can't seem to find time anymore
Somewhere she weeps
Her hair gently brushes the floor
I know my way
I know that I'll find her somehow

Angela carries me back to the time
When I knew that her love was still mine
Angela's holding the child in her womb
And I pray that she will be calling soon

It's a silly situation
It's just infatuation
No need to be sorry

"Animal"


I never felt like this with someone,
I never knew I could feel this way at all
Predestination by appointment,
Storybook realities are coming true
I was scared, you looked so helpless,
Lust was dressed in good disguise

I took you on to meet my mother
Just like me, she fell straight in love with you
You took me to your own apartment,
was it me or does the night do things to you
You read from Venus and Adonis, so honey how could I resist I

C'mon baby we've got tonight
No one loses when two tigers fights
I lift you up, never let you down
I'll be the jester and you'll be the crown
We're instinctively impulsive, we're animals

A body like yours should be arrested,
Honey I should be locked up in a cage
We are flesh, we are carnal, we are human
We've got desires we can't contain
Smoke alarm is going off again,
I guess I'm gonna have to cool you down

Say c'mom baby, we've got tonight,
No one loses when two tigers fight
You'll be fire, I'll be the ice,
so come on baby melt me ooh so nice
Instinctively impulsive, we're animals

[Instrumental break]

Some girls may turn my head,
but only you, baby, turn me on
When we touch it's so explosive,
it's seems my life's been leading to this

Say c'mon baby, we've got tonight,
no one loses when to tigers fight
You'll be fire, I'll be the ice,
so come on baby melt me ooh so nice
Is it rythm, is it magic, we're animals

"Anna"


Anna please turn around
We'll work it out somehow
Anna don't turn me down
There's still a chance if we can hold out once more

'Cause we started out with love
That was more than enough
And that's a lot to give up

Even if you turn and walk away
Love will bring you back somehow
I will wait forever and a day
'Cause I believe without a doubt
The time will not run out on our love

Anna you gotta stay
It's just a stage we're going through
And Anna this all can change
If we turn the page we can start all again

'Cause we almost touched the sky
And it could never again be this right
Anna please change your mind

Even if you turn and walk away
Love will bring you back somehow
I will wait forever and a day
'Cause I believe without a doubt
The time will not run out on our love

[Instrumental break]

Even if you turn and walk away
Love will bring you back somehow
I will wait forever and a day
'Cause I believe without a doubt
The time will not run out
[repeats 2x]

And I believe without a doubt
The time will not run out
And I believe without a doubt
The time will not run out on our love

"Baby He's Your Man"


Well it's 2 a.m.
You're just getting in
Soon you'll be creepin' into bed
Later you'll pretend you were out with a friend
But I'm still inside your head

I don't understand
You say I'm your man
When it's clear you're seein' another
You can call me a fool for just loving' you
But girl I'll never find another

If you think he'll love you better
Your every wish is his command
Baby he's your man

Baby he's your man

Well, you spoke your mind
But I still can't find what's wrong with you and me
I got something' to say
And baby come what may
Baby we were never meant to be

So I want you to know
I can't let him go
'Til find a love that's real
I don't like this game
I don't need this pain
I'm just saying what I feel

I know he can love me better
My every wish is his command

Baby he's my man

[Instrumental brake]

Now I know I should love you better

Oh, my every every wish is his command

Baby he's your
Baby he's my
Baby he's your man
Baby he's my man

"Better World"


[Part I]

[Part II:]
Hello my friends
I'm calling to you
The things we believed
Are no longer true
'Cause we're older now
So much wiser than before

The pain that we've felt
We hold deep inside
The dues we have paid
And the tears we have cried
And the emptiness
Can we take it anymore

Have we lost all our faith in our God
And all that we are
When we look at our lives
What are we fighting for

Oh, let's make this a better world
When push comes to shove
What have we really learned
Oh, let's make this a better world
When you're lying awake with your life in your head
Thinking a'bout friends who are already dead
We can change

[Instrumental break]

Oh, let's make this a better world
When push comes to shove
What have we really learned
Oh, let's make this a better world
Is there hope for us all
As we're waiting to die
Lying in bed as we take our last sigh

[Part III]
