Agent Orange Album

all i want is to be mesmerized
and you know what does those things to me
hypnotized? look deep into my eyes
look deep into my eyes and you will see

that i'm the one who walks the tightrope up above
the heads of many who would love to see me fall
but when i'm feeling right, the music never stops
i'm breaking bones, but i can feel
no pain at all - i know that

this is all i need this is all that i desire
i'll tell you this i'm coming right down to the wire again
this is all i need and this is all i need to know
i'll be lost until the music takes control

it seems to me there must be more to life you know
than racing up and down these dead end streets
i've got to try out here it's do or die
and i'll be leaving nothing incomplete

cuz i'm the one who walks the tightrope up above
the heads of many who would love to see me fall
but when i'm feeling right, the music never stops
i'm breaking bones, but i can feel
no pain at all i know that

this is all i need this is all that i desire
i'll tell you this i'm coming right down to the wire again
this is all i need and this is all i need to know
i'll never stop until the music takes control

this is all i need this is all that i desire
i'll tell you this i'm coming right down to the wire again
this is all i need and this is all i need to know
i'll never stop until the music takes control

ill never stop cuz this is all i need
theres nothing more cuz this is all i need
thats all for me cuz this is what i need
this is all cuz this is all i need

you know you don't have time to sit around
waiting for the perfect chance to come your way
and you'll never find the answers
to the questions you ask
by listening to what other people say
you've got to let originality be your inspiration
you know plagiarism is a crime (dexter!)
even if it turns out to be a miserable disaster
you will live to try another time - that's why i say

make up your mind and do what you want to do

well you've got to be joking, if you say your thoughts
have fallen into someone else's hands
and you've got to be crazy, if you think your life
is just a mess of threats and tough demands
well you just can't be that far away from what you want
to think that nothing's gonna get you there
'cuz the truth is you were born
with everything you need
no you don't have to be a billionaire
all you have to do is

make up your mind and do what you want to do

if you're gonna do it, do it right!

in the end your gonna see that it was worth your time
the results are gonna make you smile
there's really nothing to it, if you use your head
and concentrate for just a little while
all it takes is just a twist of your wild imagination
new ideas will come tumbling out
can you feel the time slipping?
don't keep the world waiting
listen up, if you can hear me shout

make up your mind and do what you want to do

it was something you said about the way it goes
that was making me think, "i'm jamming the controls"
i need something to help me see
how fast i'm moving now
i can see it all clear, but i don't know why
cause i know in my mind, i've got to try my luck
i've got nothing left to lose
now i'm watching my whole life flash before my eyes

i can picture myself on the edge of a desert plain
it's the sound of my voice
through the force of the wind and rain
as i open my eyes i can now see the sky transform
i'm looking into the eye of the electric storm

i've got cranked into overdrive


that's all that's keeping me alive
i need more than couple thousand volts
to keep the thunder rolling now
i'm hoping these clouds won't dissipate
and i'm praying to god that it's not too late
i've got to make my way up to the top
to the place where the lightening bolts
come crashing down

now i'm standing up tall
with my hands reaching towards the sky
i'll be searching for something more until the day i die
the rain on my face feels cold but the wind is warm

could it be that you were hoping
something new would change your life?
a different view of things
that mattered long ago
and if you had your way
would everything be like it was before?
could it be that you would never ask for more?

i know that i'd never last a day without you
i wouldn't last a day without you

would it be too much to ask
if we could save a little time?
it's such a precious thing
that seems so hard to find
and if we get the chance
let's hope that you and i won't change our minds
we'll twist and tangle as our destinies unwind

i know that i wouldn't last a day without you
i couldn't find my way without you
i don't know what to say without you
i wouldn't last a day without you

i look into into sun - am i the only one
that doesn't see the future anymore?

you wouldn't last a day
i will not go away
and in the end there will be no long goodbye

i propose that we devise a plan
down to every last detail - we cannot fail
'cuz the only thing that's standing in our way
is disastrous betrayal
so let the driving force prevail

now i'm falling back on all the dreams we left behind
it's a lesson that i never thought i'd learn
tonight i'm gonna sacrifice something i really love
feel it melt into my hands and
let it burn - all night long

ever since the day it all began
massive walls surrounding me - on every side
now i hear a crash - they all come tumbling down
as memories collide - i'm living for that wild ride

could it be that i've forgotten what i came here for?
when i leave this world, i never will return
i know the only way for me to save my soul tonight
is to light the midnight lamp and
let it burn - all night long

what can i say? you know what it means to me
i would kill to be where i belong
i know this thing could live endlessly
but i can hear them saying
"better let it all go up in flames"

when you and i first began
we always gave each other a hand
never did i expect to see
that all our love would fade away

i need time to pick up all the bits and pieces
of these broken dreams

tell me what i'm going through
lets get away for a day or two
send some money - send some fame
without you it won't be the same

i need time to pick up all the bits and pieces
of these broken dreams

well i guess that you might say
that we've come a long long way
but i say it's too soon to tell
if our scheme will win or fail
so get the toolbox out
it's time to find a way
to fix these broken dreams

i need time to find a way
a way to fix these broken dreams
tell me what i'm going through
i just can't shake these broken dreams
take these shattered bits and pieces
of these scattered broken dreams
get the toolbox out
because it's time to fix these broken dreams

(voice of evel knievel:)
"i've got to tell you,
that you are the last people in the world
who will see me jump, because i will never,
ever, ever jump again. i am through."

i believe that every inch of smooth cement
upon this earth is sacred
that he who sees it blur beneath his feet
will always be one step ahead
i can see the only way that we can change
our future is to brainwash and manipulate
the minds of those who draw the lines
that form the city scapes

what moves beyond these walls
won't get far without abusing all the laws
i'll tell you why
we are unsafe at any speed

you're lost, now shut your eyes
get ready for another big surprise
all at once you're blinded by the flashing lights
a blessing in disguise
every time you stop to think
you waste another precious moment
and every time you draw another breath
you're one breath closer to the end

somehow i'll survive - i've got to live
'cuz that's the only thing that makes me feel alive
we are unsafe at any speed

(voice of announcer at gary wells jump:)
"ninety miles
an hour - he's up! 22 year old gary wells. he's missed it!
he's in trouble! he's in trouble! he's down! he's hurt!
my god - he's not even moving!"

let me remind you all again
that there is never any room
for any doubt
i feel it in my heart, i shout it out
and if i decide to change my ways
it's not because i've found the latest craze
it's just that i've got more to lose this time

you know that you can count on one thing
i would never let you down
as crazy as this world may seem
the thing that keeps it spinning 'round
is always there
so close and yet so far

and you can believe it's true
a reason behind everything i do
a twist that makes it different every time
there are those who say "it's all been done"
there's nothing stopping us
from having fun
and that's why i'll be coming 'round again

you know that you can count on one thing
i would never let you down
as crazy as this world may seem
the thing that keeps it spinning 'round
is always there
so close and yet so far...

...away - but it gets a little closer every day
and i will hold it in my hand before i die
you know there isn't any way that we can lose
and you don't have to be confused
by hollow words that never mean a thing
when tragic things keep happening
to everyone around you
you don't have to be the same
this is the song that begs to set you free
a sparkle in the night
when we come face to face
don't close your eyes
don't ever turn away

because the only way you'll ever know
is if you ever really try
so find out for yourself
then you won't ever have to wonder why
as crazy as this world may seem
the thing that keeps it spinning 'round
is you because you're always there
so close and yet so far

always spinning around
you're always there - so close and yet so far
always there so far

i feel alright - that's what it's all about
the truth is going to blow your mind without a doubt
let me tell you a tale - a story so bizarre
and yet it's true - they pulled the plug
but it's not over yet
i've still got my guitar
no time to waste - no secrets to reveal
no lie cause this is it
i'm telling you exactly how i feel

the truth should never be concealed
nothing stops the spinning wheel

i'm freaking out - i know it sounds absurd


but i've got to put my life out on the line
with every word
i'm at the top - i'm eighteen stories high
i'm on the edge - but i'm not gonna to fall
you know i've got to live before i die
i'm breaking out - through walls of solid steel
i'm only gonna say it once
so listen close - now here's the deal

the truth should never be concealed
this is live and this is real

(i can change anything)
you're all alone - just staring at the phone
as if you're reaching out to dial my number
I hear your voice - I hear you call my name
you know I only want to change your destiny

you know - you belong to me

hang up and then - it rings again
this time I know it's you - no, I won't answer
unplug the phone - I want it to be known
I need a chance to cause a new catastrophe

you know - you belong to me

it's like a form of addiction
it's a fear that i just can't hide
although it seems like a gift from god
it's a pain that i feel inside
i know i've got to move quickly
and i know i've got to do it right
always feeling reckless
always searching day and night

'cuz i just can't seem to get enough
i've tried - but it's just no use
i just can't seem to get enough
i've tried - but i just can't take any more abuse

let me tell you something
if i could, you know i'd sell my soul
every time i hear that sound
you know i lose all self control
sometimes i feel like a hero
doomed to die in a raging war
sometimes it seems like it's over
but i know there's got to be more
