"Melanie"


Watching
Driving through the night
I'm all alone
Empty
Endless road
A thousand miles to go
Midnight
Five million thoughts
Passing in a row
Will you
Still be waiting there?
God only knows

I can still see your face in my mind
With every turn I take
And the wind through my heart feels so cold
As it calls out your name

[Chorus:]
Melanie
Nothing but the touch of your hand can rescue me
Melanie
Reach inside this emptiness and you will set me free

Morning
Sun's in my eyes
I'm tied to your soul
One chance
One solitary life
How could I let you go?

Got a phonecall or was it a dream
A voice spoke to me
I could swear it was you that I heard
Crying desperately

[Chorus]

[Instrumental break]

I can still see your face in my mind
With every turn I take
And the wind through my heart feels so cold
As it calls out your name

[Repeat chorus two times]

"Mindfields"


There's a rumour of a midnight man
So silent in disguise
And every time he looks your way
You can see it in his eyes
Like a window to the storm
He just invades your paradise
Don't you buy what he is selling
It's just lies

When he says:
"These hearts are willing"
The story goes:
That these dreams are free

Only takes a moment
But you must acclimatize
Don't you buy what he is selling
it's just lies

Over your left shoulder I have seen the angry beast
Heard the war horn screaming, as they gather for the feast
Seen a star-crossed angel with the death-card and a shield

[Chorus:]
We're walking through mindfields
You see an angel as she takes you by the hand
We're walking through mindfields
Her lips are moving like she's praying
We're walking through mindfields
She speaks so softly and you want to understand
What she's saying

There's a stairway leading to the sun
I walk it in my sleep
And a ship of fools above the sky
Who've gotten into deep
With a doorway into nowhere
And the path is way too steep
Don't loose your angry soul
It's yours to keep

Where it ends
It's the beginning
And it stays
Right to the end

The reason is unclear my friend
It almost makes me weep
So don't loose your angry soul
It's yours to keep

Over your left shoulder I have seen the angry beast
Heard the war horn screaming, as they gather for the feast
Seen a star-crossed angel with the death-card and a shield

[Chorus]

[Instrumental break]

Over your left shoulder I have seen the angry beast
Heard the war horn screaming, as they gather for the feast
Seen a star-crossed angel with the death-card and a shield

[Repeat chorus two times]

"Miss Sun"


Listen to my story
'Cause it may never be the same
And a young man in his glory
He may never see her again

[Chorus:]
Hey Miss Sun
What could I say
I tried to hold you
But the moon got in the way
It won't be long before the morning has you back in my arms

If I could just remember
What she told me with her eyes
'Cause Daisy ain't a member
And her eyes stare as I forage the skies

[Repeat chorus]

[Repeat chorus]

"Modern Eyes"


She know you bad
You don't sing songs of love
She treats you right, she treats you like a web of love
You know who's of the heart, her notions of societies
You belong to know and just like our sophiaties

[Chorus:]
Modern eyes
Modern eyes, to see what you want to see
Modern eyes
Modern eyes, she'll paint you with the modern eyes

What you look for in people is not hard to recognize
Black man, white man, short man
They're all the same in size
You breath the air, you feel the sea and the sand and the skies
When nighttime comes you blind men with modern eyes

[Repeat chorus]

She'll paint you with the hupskin on
She'll paint you with the fire in your eyes
She'll paint you with the modern eyes

[Repeat chorus]

"Mr. Friendly"


Get out I won't even listen
I can't hear a single word you say
Enough of your intimidation
Don't tell me 'bout the price I pay
Take off don't want your kind of trouble
Don't wanna see you hangin' 'round my place
It's late and here's the situation
I never wanna see your face

You just drag me down
And I've got the scars to show
I think you oughta know

[Chorus:]
You got the best of me
Mister Friendly
You got the best of me

Don't ask can't promise any favors
Don't want to owe you in anything again
Bad luck it's your occupation
Can't you see you are your own worst friend
I'm gone the masquerade is over
I'm cashin' in the silver tray
So long I can't buy this evil game you play

You just drag me down
And I've got the scars to show
I think you oughta know

[Repeat chorus]

He's standing in your way
You smile like it's okay
Knowing you'll show him somehow
You're running out of time
Too late to change your mind
No one can save you now

[Repeat chorus]

Mrs. Johnson"


Know these words are wrong to say
Need you more and more each day

[Chorus:]
Hey Mrs. Johnson
Give me your answer as fast as you can
Hey Mrs. Johnson
Don't you know I really love you

Here's my life, it's yours today
Help me chase the blues away

[Repeat chorus]

[Instrumental break]

Know these words are wrong to say
Need you more and more each day

[Repeat chorus two times]

"Mushanga"


I can't forget you my little Mushanga
I keep a place in my heart for you
The days of waiting they keep getting longer
And not a thing I can do
I was a poet, a magazine writer
Sent to report on political views
It was by chance through a lens that I met you
A Capetown girl with no shoes

You were runnin' down the road
I was going your way
I stopped and turned around to lent you my hand
You smiled though you were suffering
I didn't understand, then

You broke into my heart
I saw your eyes and then I knew
You broke into my heart
Like the wind and rain that followed you
You broke into my heart
Had the Lord above forgotten you?
You broke in from the start
And all my tears belong to you

Mushanga, oh, Mushanga, oh

I sat and watched as she danced by the fires
Through ancient songs did the tale unfold
They sang of diamonds that came from their mountains
The loss of lives mining white man's gold

I had to leave and go back to Manhattan
Where all my stories are bought and sold
I know the city would surely be saddened
If what I knew could be told

You were runnin' down the road
I was going your way
I stopped and turned around to lent you my hand
You smiled though you were suffering
I didn't understand, then

You broke into my heart
I saw your eyes and then I knew
You broke into my heart
Like the wind and rain that followed you
You broke into my heart
Had the Lord above forgotten you?
You broke in from the start
And all my tears belong to you

Mushanga, oh, Mushanga, oh

[Instrumental break]

It's been so long since I last heard your laughter
So many letters and still no news
I hope you find all the things that you're after
You know my heart is with you

You were runnin' down the road
I was going your way
I stopped and turned around to lent you my hand
You smiled though you were suffering
I didn't understand, then


You broke into my heart
I saw your eyes and then I knew
You broke into my heart
Like the wind and rain that followed you
You broke into my heart
Had the Lord above forgotten you?
You broke into my heart
I saw your eyes and then I knew

You broke in from the start
And all my tears belong to you

Mushanga, oh, Mushanga, oh [repeat 3x]

"Mysterious Ways"


I must have aged twenty years in the last seven days
Living on emotion, disbelieve and rage
I found out the hard way life is what you make
Sometimes you gotta learn to give yourself a break

You can go where you wanna go
You can know who you want to know
Take a good look inside you'll see
You can have it all
If you just believe

Time moves in mysterious ways
You're dancing to the music while the music plays
Accelerates and then delays
Time moves in mysterious ways

[Chorus:]
Accidents can happen and they always do
It only takes a twist of fate to turn on you
I was in the wrong place at just right time
I thought she was a lover not a friend of mine

You can do who you wanna do
You can screw who you want to screw
In the end it's the fantasy
But not reality
That will set you free

[Chorus]

Once it's inside of me
It's like a symphony
On a cloud and I can't come down
It's like a dream then you come around

[Instrumental break]

You can go where you wanna go
You can know who you want to know
Take a good look inside you'll see
You can have it all if you just believe

[Chorus]

Time moves in mysterious ways
You're dancing to the music while the music plays
Accelerates and then delays
Time moves in mysterious
Time moves in mysterious
Time moves in mysterious ways

"Never Enough"


Seems the world needs a change in its attitude
It doesn't seem like there's much that a man can do
They try to sell the earth on a wild crusade
Then complain about not bein' paid

How can some people have the nerve
Hell hasn't froze but it's on the verge
It's gone way past the point of greed
How many lifetimes will we need

'Cause it's never enough
They keep on takin' till they take too much
'Cause it's never enough
It won't be long until they run out of luck

We've been bought and sold for a thousand years
And all I got to show is a six pack full of tears
And all the while the fat cats they watch from the hill
Nothin's changed, it never has an' never will

You better strap on your sharpest spurs
For the ride of your life
'Cause it's gonna hurt
You can't say you didn't ask for this
It's too late to find somebody's ass to kick

'Cause it's never enough
They keep on takin' till they take too much
'Cause it's never enough
It won't be long until they run out of luck

[Instrumental break]

Who's got the money and who gets the rent
By the time it's all over
You ain't got a cent
Hey, hey

How can some people have the nerve
Hell hasn't froze but it's on the verge
It's gone way past the point of greed
How many lifetimes will we need

'Cause it's never enough
They keep on takin' till they take too much
'Cause it's never enough
It won't be long until they run out of luck
[repeats 2x]

"No Love"


At the end of my life
When it's time to depart
Will the last face I see be yours
When I take my last breath
And I drift through the dark
Will I look 'round and still feel secure

It's no sacrifice to stay by your side
Till hell freezes clear to the core
Whatever the price
No matter how high
Over your shoulder
When you turn around
I'll be tellin' you

[Chorus:]
No love will ever be stronger
No love not anywhere, no no
No love will ever last longer
If I can't have your love, I don't want no love at all

I'll put my change on the dresser
Next to your scarf
Cook my heart in the skillet next to yours
Ten thousand tears lead up to now
You are the treasure for sure

Lines on my face they get deeper each day
But the feelings are ageless and smooth
One single trace of doubt still remains
Over my shoulder, when I turn around,
Will you be tellin' me

[Chorus]

[Instrumental break]

It's no sacrifice to stay by your side
Till hell freezes clear to the core
Whatever the price
No matter how high
Over your shoulder
When you turn around
I'll be telling you

[Repeat chorus two times]
