Ash Album

Written by Tim Wheeler

You're all I have in this teenage twilight
Your gold hair and pale blue eyes
But through all the days and sleepness nights
we have never been satisfied
Tumble like the leaves
Yeah, we must fly on the autumn breeze
almost to the point of no return
everything will burn baby burn

Look into my tired eyes
see someone you don't recognise
Bonds that can't be untied
oh this is slow suicide
Feelings that I can't disguise
and never will be reconciled
Oh something inside has died

You walk like you're in a daze
unresponcive eyes in a distant gaze
like all the good times we've thrown away
and the memory leaves a bitter taste
tumble like the leaves
yeah we must fly on the autumn breeze
Distructive love is all we have
distructive love is all I am

Look into my tired eyes
see someone you dont recognise
Bonds that can't be untied
oh this is slow suicide
Feelings that i can't disguise
and never will be reconciled
Oh something inside has died

Vicious bitter words
become more and more uncool
But you always take it back
and let me lick your wounds
Tumble like the leaves
we must fly like on autumn breeze
almost to the point of no return
everything will burn baby burn

Look into my tired eyes
see someone you dont recognise
Bonds that can't be untied
oh this is slow suicide.
Feelings that I can't disguise
and never will be reconciled

1, 2, 3, 4
Here's a taste of the seven sins

Driven to distraction, waiting on your call
I am getting trigger happy but it doesn't help at all
No, and I can't even think, with you still in my head
No, and I cannot do anything, I want you in my head

Envy, envy, envy
Envy, envy, envy

Breathless, weak I'm distracted, I wanna get under your skin
Like a fever, you leave my mouth dry, but I can't do anything

Can't stop this burning from within
C'mon baby, c'mon baby, c'mon baby, c'mon

Fingertips in the honey dipped, you know it set my soul on fire
From her sultry hips, to her velvet lips
You know I couldn't get much higher
I lose my concentration, I walk around in a dream
So come on give me some of your reaction
I wanna know explicitly
How it feels, so dirty sweet, come on

Envy, envy, envy
Envy, envy, envy

C'mon baby, c'mon baby, c'mon baby, c'mon
Too much! too much!

Got struck by a lightning bolt
Between the eyes, got paralysed
Way before I realised, hypnotised
Conspiracy, mystery, the air she breathes
Controversy, I'm heading for the deep freeze

Envy, envy, envy.
Envy, envy, envy.

From the east to the west
The north to the south
I want you so bad
Wanna turn you inside out
I wanna all night long
Feel the sweet sensations
Sassy temptations

Do you remember the time I knew a Girl From Mars?
I don't know if you knew that.
Oh we'd stay up late playing cards,
Henri Winterman Cigars.
Though she never told me her name,
I still love you, Girl From Mars.

Sitting in our dreamy days by the water's edge,
On a cool summer's night.
Fireflies and the stars in the sky,
Gentle glowing light,
From your cigarette.
The breeze blowing softly on my face,
Reminds me of something else.
Something that in my memory has been replaced,
Suddenly it all comes back.
And as I look to the stars.

I remember the time I knew a Girl From Mars,
I don't know if you knew that.
Oh we'd stay up late playing cards,
Henri Winterman Cigars.
Though she never told me her name,
I still love you, Girl From Mars.

Surging through the darkness over the moonlight strand,
Electricity in the air.
Twisting all through the night on the terrace,
Now that summer's here.
I know you are almost in love with me,
I can see it in your eyes.
Strange light shimmering over the sea tonight,
And it almost blows my mind
And as I look to the stars

I remember the time I knew a Girl From Mars,
I don't know if you knew that.
Oh we'd stay up late playing cards,
Henri Winterman Cigars.
Though she never told me her name,
I still love you, Girl From Mars.

Today I sleep in the chair by the window,
It felt as if you'd returned.
I thought that you were standing over me,
When I woke there was no-one there.
I still love you, Girl From..
Mars

Do you remember the time I knew a Girl From Mars?
I don't know if you knew that.
Oh we'd stay up late playing cards,
Henri Winterman Cigars.
Though she never told me her name.

Do you remember the time I knew a Girl From Mars?
I don't know if you knew that.
Oh we'd stay up late playing cards.
Henri Winterman Cigars.
And I still dream of you,

Roman candles that burn in the night 
Yeah, you are a shining light 
You lit a torch in the infinite 
Yeah, you are a shining light 
Yeah, you light up my life 

You've always been a thorn in their side 
But to me you're a shining light 
You arrive and the night is alive 
Yeah, you are a shining light 
Yeah, you light up my life 

We made our connection 
A full on chemical reaction 
Brought by dark divine intervention 
Yeah, you are a shining light 
A constellation once seen 
Over Royal David's city 
An epiphany you burn so pretty 
Yeah, you are a shining light 

You are a force, you are a constant source 
Yeah you are a shining light 
Incandescent in the darkest night 
Yeah you are shining light 
My mortal blood I would sacrifice 
For you are a shining light 
Sovereign bride of the infinite 
Yeah, you are a shining light 
Yeah, you light up my life 

We made our connection 
A full on chemical reaction 
Brought by dark divine intervention 
Yeah, you are a shining light 
A constellation once seen 
Over Royal David's city 
An epiphany you burn so pretty 
Yeah, you are a shining light 

And these are days you often say 
There's nothing that we can't do 
Beneath a canopy of stars 
I'd shed blood for you 
The north star in the firmament 
You shine the most bright 
I've seen you draped in an electric veil 
Shrouded in celestial light 

We made our connection 
A full on chemical reaction 
Brought by dark divine intervention 
Yeah, you are a shining light 
A constellation once seen 
Over Royal David's city 
An epiphany you burn so pretty 
Yeah, you are a shining light 
Yeah, you light up my life 
Yeah, you are a shining light 

(Wheeler) 

I smoke myself into a haze in the afternoon 
Enveloped heart, and the air is cool 
Put on your dress, white Goddess 
And Settle in as the weather folds 
In the slow haze of the afternoon 
Swaying hips, made like a gun 
Blackest sails, the most beautiful 

Star.... 
In the world, in the air, on my tongue 
Before my eyes, beyond the stars, beneath the sun 

So.... 
Take me in your arms again, lead me in my dreams again 
So..... 
What is it worth?, I'll sell my soul, what is it worth? 
Only you know 

You were conceived in my heart, came like a dream 
To save me from my mortality 
Put on your dress, white Goddess 
And settle in as the weather folds 
Our lives will be entwined, even when I die 
You'll see me through 'till the end of time 
No earthly bride, the most beautiful 

Star.... 
In the world, in the air, on my tongue 
Before my eyes, beyond the stars, beneath the sun 

So.... 
Take me in your arms again, lead me in my dreams again 
So..... 
What is it worth?, I'll sell my soul, what is it worth? 
Only you know 

Move closer, set my mind on fire
Taking over, the world seems so alive
The world seems so alive

She slips into the night, and she is gone
Gone to settle the score, gone into the town
Rain shining in her eyes
Her brother started school
Again today, a thought to pass the time
To occupy my mind, while I'm waiting for her

Down in the basement, listening to the rain
Thinking things over. I think it over again
I think it over again

She slips into the night, and she was gone
Gone to settle the score, gone into the town
Rain shining in her eyes
Her brother started school
Again today, a thought to pass the time
To occupy my mind, while I'm waiting for her

I'm riding it down, listen to the rain
She'll be here soon, I lie back and drift away
I lie back and drift away.

She slips into the night, and she was gone
Gone to settle the score, gone into the town
Rain shining in her eyes
Her brother started school
Again today, a thought to pass the time
To occupy my mind, while I'm waiting for her

I'm feeling so alive, feeling so real
On a stormy night, the rain is coming down
Rain like never before
I've got some records on, some bottles of wine
On a stormy night, the rain is lashing down

One million light years from home
Throwing up and feeling small
Where have I gone and landed tonight
I've been shot right to the core
Of NYC and hostility yeah
But you gotta laugh
'Cos there's something that I cannot do without
And it's in your hand

Where have I gone and landed tonight
A million light years from home
Throwing up and feeling small
And now I know that my mind is blown
'Cos there's something that I cannot do without
Something that I understand
Yeah there's something that I cannot do without
And it's in your hand

Cut down shot down
Any way you please
Don't get nothing for free
Big time small time
Any way you choose yeah
Don't mean nothing to me

Where have I gone and landed tonight
God give me strength
In a land of fakes and small time petty thieves
Must be the wrong place
'Cos all my honesty is true yeah
But it's gone to waste
On a soulless superficial void
Called the human race

Cut down shot down
Any way you please
Don't get nothing for free
Big time small time
Any way you choose yeah
Yeah but you gotta compete

Where have I gone and landed tonight
Throwing up and feeling small
One million light years from home
I've been shot right to the core
Of NYC and hostility yeah
But you gotta laugh
'Cos there's something that I cannot do without
And it's in your hand

Cut down shot down
Any way you please
Don't get nothing for free
Big time small time
Any way you choose yeah
Don't mean fuck all to me
Yeah I've been cut down shot down
Any way you please yeah
Sisters and brothers please yeah
Big time small time
Any way you please yeah

Oh Yeah she was taking me over
Oh Yeah it was the start of the summer

On warm June evenings
She would come to my house
Still in her school skirt
And her summer blouse
Talking too long as the night came on
It was the best time of my life
Her bee stung lips,
Kisses sweeter than wine
The things she whispered
With breathless sighs
The summer air was soft and warm
Her eyes were making silent demands
And as her hair came undone in my hands

Oh Yeah she was taking me over
Oh Yeah it was the start of the summer

Driving her home after midnight
I felt so good everything was alright
Her thoughts seemed so lost in the night sky
I remember everything
I don't know why these things ever send
I sometimes wish it was that summer again
I still see her in my sleep
And hear the sighing of the summer wind
Still I don't regret one thing

Oh Yeah she was taking me over
Oh Yeah it was the start of the summer
It felt just like it was the start of forever

We were walking, walking in two worlds
In the gardens of sunlight home
Bad children on the phone
Withheld me to withhold you
Said I'd kiss you if you want
You've got things back to front
I got a letter, I sent it back
I didn't like It, what you had

Jack names the planets after you

When I turned you had gone away
So I didn't skip upon that day
Morose feeling, small mind
Don't touch it's face you might like its kind
Said I'd kiss you if you want
You've got things back to front
Don't mind your spelling, it ain't so bad
Things like that they never made me quite so mad as you

Jack names the planets after you

I wish you'd come back everythings ready for you
You are welcome if you plan to
You can come walking and you know where
You've got understand that you got to care
Said I'd kiss you if you want
You've got things back to front
My mother's dying I've got to go home
But there's more you wont be solely on your own

Can't sleep in the city, you're far away
Cigarettes keep you skinny
And your mind off the rain
Sometimes, sometimes
Sometimes, sometimes

Feelings are distant, I know guilt by name
It was the hardest thing, watching you slip away
Sometimes, sometimes
Sometimes, sometimes

Sometimes it happens, feelings die,
Whole years are lost in the blink of an eye
We once had it all but events conspired
Sometimes

Good morning sweet thing, you're safe in my hands
I am no saint, but I understand
Sometimes, sometimes
Sometimes, sometimes

Sometimes it happens, feelings die,
Whole years are lost in the blink of an eye
We once had it all but events conspired
Sometimes
Now that it is over, it is through
It gets me every time I think of you
Sometimes it happens, feelings die
Sometimes

I miss your warm skin beside me at night
And I miss your flesh in the dawn light
Sometimes, sometimes
Sometimes, sometimes

Sometimes it happens, feelings die,
Whole years are lost in the blink of an eye
We once had it all but events conspired
Sometimes
Saturn's decline in my star sign
Seasonal adjustments, stars realign
Sometimes it happens, feelings die

Kung Fu do what you do to me
I haven't been the same since my teenage lobotomy
Full on, I moved to Hong Kong
With Bruce Lee's brother and Johnny Wong

I think it's strange
He's friends with Fu Manchu
And he thinks he knows you
Uh uh uh uh uh oh
Oh Daniel San made in Taiwan
Come on Jackie Chan
Uh uh uh uh uh oh

Last night Jackie Chan came around
I played pool with him and we hung out
Mr. Miagi and the X-men
Called in for a while as well

I think it's strange
He's friends with Fu Manchu
And he thinks he knows you
Uh uh uh uh uh oh
Oh Daniel San made in Taiwan
Come on Jackie Chan
Uh uh uh uh uh oh

Gary Glitter!
Scooby Doo!
Rock McMurray!
And last but not least
Ladies and gentleman
I give you...
JOHNNY WONG!

Kung Fu do what you do to me
I can't live without my Kung Fu movies
'Shanghai Killers' and 'Deadly Road'
My life was ruined when the Green Dragon closed

Oh I think it's strange
He's friends with Fu Manchu
And he thinks he knows you
Uh uh uh uh uh oh
Oh Daniel San made in Taiwan
Come on Jackie Chan
Uh uh uh uh uh oh

I think it's strange
He's friends with Fu Manchu
And he's in love with you
Uh uh uh uh uh oh
Oh Daniel San made in Taiwan
Come on Jackie Chan

Candy, you're such a joy to me
Innocent nights, I cannot sleep
Oh candy, sweetest remedy
Only you can ease my troubled dreams
Angel, oh people ought to see
Caught up in bitterness and ?
Oh candy, dark and lonely days
I hear your voice whispering my name

Don't you know it's alright to be alone
You can make it on your own, yeah
Don't you know it's alright to be alone
You can make it on your own

Angel, of the summer stars
I will always see you safe from heart
Oh candy, we'll never be apart
Night & day you're constant in my heart

Don't you know it's alright to be alone
You can make it on your own, yeah
Don't you know it's alright to be alone
You can make it on your own
Oh candy, my dreams, oh candy, my dreams
Candy, my dreams, oh candy

Candy, purest driven snow
Come to me, you are not alone
Oh candy, you're everything to me
You and I will always be free

Don't you know it's alright to be alone
You can make it on your own, yeah
Don't you know it's alright to be alone
You can make it on your own
It's alright to be alone
Don't you know it's alright to be alone
You can make it on your own, yeah
Don't you know it's alright to be alone
You can make it on your own
Don't you know it's alright to be alone
You can make it on your own, yeah
Don't you know it's alright to be alone
You can make it on your own, yeah
It's alright to be alone
You can make it on your own, yeah
It's alright to be alone

I stayed in last night
I wasn't feeling alright
I knew it couldn't last
I started thinking of you
And I wished we could be dancing in the dark
(Really slow)
Oh, it's good to know
Tomorrow you are coming home
(I won't be so alone)
I feel heaven in you, don't you know
I feel heaven in you, don't you know I feel heaven in you
Oh, it's true
I can't let go
I miss you, oh you know

Sitting alone
With the TV on
I fell asleep
I was hoping you'd call
And I dreamed we could be dancing in the dark
(Really slow)
Oh, it's good to know,
Tomorrow you are coming home
(I won't be so alone)
I feel heaven in you, don't you know-
I feel heaven in you, don't you know-
I feel heaven in you
Oh it's true, I can't let go
I miss you oh you know

Angel Interceptor- Apollo 21- Uri Gagarin
Flew into the sun
The angels in heaven look down
Where he lay
Oh tomorrow you are coming home...
I feel heaven in you, don't you know-
I feel heaven in you, don't you know-
I feel heaven in you
Oh it's true, I can't let go

I sent off this morning
Down the road along the river
Which I take but once a year
My walk will take me by the shore
Then inland for a mile or more
From the cold sea spray

A small wood stands upon the hill
An old house near it lies in ruins
Forgotten long ago
And here in a clearing, overgrown with moss and ivy
Is your lovely grave

A dusk I will make my way
Along the lanes and through the fields
To where my cottage is
But before I step inside for bed
I'll look up at the stars as we had
All those years ago

Come On
Yeah come on come on while we still can
Yeah come on come on while we still can
Burning in my head

Tonight Beneath the moon rays
We stand in the doorway
Looking towards other skies
They are yours and mine for now
Yeah ride
Ride the wild surf
Until the dawn
Is ushered in at your word
Your heart must always burn

Burn like a star
In the cold night
Yeah burn until the dawn light
And make it to as new time
Burning in my head
Yeah so come on
Yeah come on while we still can
Yeah come on while it still stands
Burning in my head

Tonight the sky above us
Dark and wondrous
How could you be unsure
It's all mine and your now
Yeah ride
Ride the wild surf
Until the dawn
Is ushered in at your word
Your heart must always burn

Burn like a star
In the cold night
Yeah burn until the dawn light
And make it to as new time
Burning in my head

Yeah we're gonna make it too the new times
We're gonna make it from the old times
We're gonna make it to the good times that's for sure
Ain't gonna let it slip away
Ain't gonna let this chance fade
Ain't gonna let it go in vain
Ain't gonna let it slip away

Yeah so come on
Yeah come on while we still can
Yeah come on while it still stands
Burning in my head

In the cold night
Yeah burn until the dawn light
And make it to a new time

Lyrics/music: Tim Wheeler

Your beauty took my breath away, in awe all day
Your company was so relaxing, easy going ways
We saw the first signs of summer and springtime change
Walking barefoot along the sand, I hadn't planned to stay

Yeah we've been walking barefoot all summer
It'll be sad my friend to see it come to an end
Why can't we just quit

You are broke all summer but you still sing
Don't need money when it's sunny, don't need anything
Just need music and sun and laughter and no currency
The sun on your bare shoulders, comes for free

Yeah we've been walking barefoot all summer
It'll be sad my friend to see it come to an end
Why can't we just quit
Yeah we've been walking barefoot all summer
Why can't we just design to live like this all the time
Why can't we just quit

Sand ran through my fingers and the land was hot
Anointed by apollo and his chariot
Disarmed by your charm, that night I felt it again
Addictive and consuming, love's sweet pain

Yeah we've been walking barefoot all summer
It'll be sad my friend to see it come to an end
Why can't we just quit

Our days are as the wind blows us, we are free
You've a quiet life out of town of coastal ease
The wind it has no pattern, we take life slow
And when the night has fallen, our cup overflows

When the summer's gone and the room is cold
When you're looking at the rain and it just wont go
Remember when the sun was high, up above
Remember when the days were long and we were in love

Yeah we've been walking barefoot all summer
It'll be sad my friend to see it come to an end
Why can't we just quit
Yeah we've been walking barefoot all summer
Why can't we just design to live like this all the time

The cars come up the drive, so many people inside,
Under the stars they smile, they want to invade my home
I pace the darkened hall, try to consider it all
In the dull lamps glow and the truth is I don't know

The cars stop outside, they all stay inside
The house is drenched in light, but what have I done wrong?
I quietly climb the stairs, I remember all the years,
I check everything is right I need to hurry-now!

I've been preparing for days, I know exactly what to say
'No one will be around, no one will take me down'
They'll all get in back in the cars, and maybe they'll go home

Tonight there's no denying, no there's no denying
There's something magic in the air
Emotional disorder, came from out of nowhere
And took me unaware
The patterns of the oceans, lost in her emotions
You know that I don't care

And on nights when the north wind blows through your heart
Dream of a new age
And on nights when the north wind blows through your heart
All I can do is wait

There's a star in the night sky
The kind of star we would be hoping for
There's a star in the night sky
The kind of star we would be dreaming of

Cool evening falling, I can hear her calling
Cross the serpentine
Dark and chaotic, slow and hypnotic
She comes into my mind
And tonight nothing matters, no it doesn't matter
Everything will be fine

And on nights when the north wind blows through your heart
Dream of a new age
And on nights when the north wind blows through your heart
All I can do is wait

There's a star in the night sky
The kind of star we would be hoping for
There's a star in the night sky
The kind of star we would be dreaming of
There's a star in the night sky
The kind of star we would be wishing for
There's a star in the night sky

Shooting from the hip
Slipping from an iron grip
Going further than I've ever been
Into the realms of the unseen
Fate is your enemy
Rebel against your destiny
Going further than I've ever been
Yeah further than I've ever been

Got a beautiful face go a fucked up inside
Need a shot of your faith
Come along for the ride
Yeah love is your faith
Yeah death is your fate

Never going to reach my goal
I know 'cos I have been told
Never finding happiness
Eternally in unrest
This is where the love lies
I've seen to the other side
It's always been just out of reach
Yeah but always just within my sight

Got a beautiful face got a fucked up inside
Need a shot of your faith
Come along for the ride
Yeah love is your faith yeah death is your fate
Yeah death is your fate come along for the ride

Going further than I've ever been

Got a beautiful face got a fucked up inside
Need a shot fo your faith
Come along for the ride
Yeah love is your faith yeah death is your fate
Yeah death is your fate come along for the ride
Got a beautiful face got a fucked up inside
Need a shot fo your faith
Come along for the ride
Yeah love is your faith yeah death is your fate
Need a shot of your faith come along

In the end it all comes down to dust
Language will vanish and machines will rust
Reality will come apart at the seams
Your life will unravel into your dreams

Now a storm it is gathering
Reasons unravelling
Streets they are burning
And darkness is travelling
Raw electricity
Runs through the cities
And now is it time
To be running to me

Nowhere to run to and no place to hide
Make a final promise and I'll make you mine
We'll burn with raw emotion as the flames arise
Higher and higher in the western night

Now a storm it is gathering
Reasons unravelling
Streets they are burning
And darkness is travelling
Raw electricity
Runs through the cities
And now is it time
To be running to me

No place to hide
No chance of stalling
No warning sign
No way out calling

No place to hide
No chance of stalling
No warning sign
No way out calling
No place to hide

The mountains will crumble and the seas will rise
It will rain fire from blood-red skies
I will shoot an arrow into your heart
You will come running into my arms

Oh tonight it is gathering
Reasons unravelling
Streets they are burning
And darkness is travelling
Raw electricity
Runs through the cities
And now is it time
To be running to me

No place to hide
No chance of stalling
No warning sign
No way out calling

No place to hide
No chance of stalling
No warning sign
No way out calling
No place to hide

No place to hide
No chance of stalling
No warning sign
No way out calling

No place to hide
No chance of stalling
No warning sign
No way out calling
No place to hide

Now a storm it is gathering
Reasons unravelling
Streets they are burning
And darkness is travelling
Raw electricity
Runs through the cities
And now is it time
To be running to me

Written by S. Ludwin (from Little Hell)

Currents that are stronger
wanna drag you under
I would never tire
swimming next to you
We became united
twisted and enlightened
Skating on fire
yes you know it's true

She took off her t-shirt
like a worm i'd eat dirt
just to be beside her
every single night
Golf ball hail and thunder
rum and Stevie Wonder
Warmer than fire
getting into you

These memories
Dear God I hope she's always next to me

Picking and then peaking,
with the costa ricans.
Lying on a surfboard
four weeks of the year
She was in her cycle
crashed her motorcycle
Broken toes in plaster
stiches in her arm

These memories
Dear God I hope she's always next to me
When we're deceased
Dear God I hope she's always next to me

These memories
Dear God I hope she's always next to me?
When we're deceased
Dear God I hope she's buried next to me
Dear God I hope she's buried next to me

(Wheeler)

There's a star in the night sky 
Brings you to my sight 
Despite all our earthly fears 
I'm still looking in your eyes 
There's a chill in the night air 
Brings us closer together 
We'll give up without knowing 
Where is our love going? 

The future is a sea of lies, the future is a mass of shade 
Dreams that you soon forget 
Dreams waiting to be made 

There's a star in the night sky 
Brings you closer to my side 
We'll give up without knowing 
Where is our love going? 
There's a chill in the night air 
Brings us closer together 
We'll give up without knowing 
Where is our love going? 

There's a chill in the night air 
Brings you lovers together 
We'll give up without knowing 
Where is our love going? 
There's a star in the night sky 
Brings you closer to my side 
We'll give up without knowing 
Where is our love going? 
There's a chill in the night air 
Brings us closer together 
We'll give up without knowing 

B-side from Jesus Says

I'm here again lying next to you
Where no feelings remain
They're gone and I want them back
I need it, that cold hit
That draws me in again and again
You've got your hold now- give it back

Take all you can
Grab hold of my mind
These silent thoughts of love
They suffocate me
Can't speak, too deep
Dies into my body again
Then tell me how it feels

I thought it was a piece of perfection
I thought it was a piece of perfection

I'm here again lying next to you
Where no feelings remain
You took me away, give it back
Jealousy, it's got a tight grip
Tearing through me
You've got a hold now
Give it back
Confused, listening to my own voice
Lying to you
Come on, give me some reaction
You make me love, that's what you do
I'm thrashing through the sky
Always running out of time

I thought it was a piece of perfection 
I thought it was a piece of perfection

You've got to step in the bright light
Move closer, be mine
You've got to step in the bright light
Move closer, be mine
You've got to step in the bright light

I'm here again lying next to you
Where no feelings remain
They're gone and I want them back
I need it, your cold hit
That draws me in again and again
You've got your hold
I want it back

Flushed out, taken out
In darkened skies you rescue me
Got it all rehearsed in my head
Fantasy, not the reality that always evades
Is this what you really want?

I thought it was a piece of perfection 
I thought it was a piece of perfection
I thought it was a piece of perfection

It's your unlucky number
but you're here to stay
Black cloud that you're under
everything outta faze
Can you feel inhibitions
things getting strange
Sudden surface convulsions
staying up for days

When the 13th floor shakes
your mind disintergrates
Young heart thrilled
and rotton to the core
Need another fix
of psychadelic kicks
Staying up here on the 13th floor

You know you'll never fit in
don't even try to begin
Up here you check out
as soon as you check in
You know it's like a poison
it'll get u pinned
The 13th floor baby
gets under your skin

When the 13th floor shakes
your mind disintergrates
Young heart thrilled
and rotton to the core
Need another fix
of psychadelic kicks
Staying up here on the 13th floor

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13th floor
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13th floor
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13th floor
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13th floor

When the 13th floor shakes
your mind disintergrates
Young heart thrilled
with rotton to the core
Need another fix
of psychadelic kicks
Take this trip, you'll never get bored
Come up to my floor
I'll let you in the door
You will get to see
what state I'm in at all
I've been up for weeks
hanging with the freaks

Can't seem to turn aside
These thoughts are your or mine
I stayed up all night to see the dawn

The air was cold the sky was gray
With shades of light
I stayed up all night to see the dawn

She takes me under stormy waters
Cradles my head as sleep comes on
I'll drown in her eyes, dream in daylight
And wake again in her twilight

She left to write more silly words
She doesn't know
I stayed up all night to see the dawn

Awake too long my skin will crawl
It's serpentine
I stayed up all night to see the dawn

She takes me under stormy waters
Cradles my head as sleep comes on
I'll drown in her eyes, dream in daylight
And wake again in her twilight

Alarm bells ring it's nearly time
I'm to alive
I've been up all night to see the dawn

Defenses dropped I'm so aware
Of passing time
I stayed up all time to see the dawn

I'll be submerged in passing tides as senses
Fade into the night
I stayed to see the dawn

She takes me under stormy waters
Cradles my head as sleep comes on
I'll drown in her eyes, dream in daylight

Hey hey hey hey hey girl
Watch what you're doing
The way you keep running around
Gonna be a ruined
Driving reckless in your pinto
Gonna drag you down
When you kick me around, girl
Gonna be one hell of a crash
Hey hey hey hey hey hey
Who you drivin' now

Hey hey hey hey hey girl
Wrap him around your finger
All the boys follow you
But you don't have to see her
You're drivin' my t-bird
But the gauge is on empty
You're going nowhere fast
You got no fuel left
Hey hey hey hey hey hey
who you drivin' now

Hey hey hey hey hey hey
Who you drivin'
Hey hey hey hey hey hey
Who you drivin'
Hey hey hey hey hey hey
Who you drivin'
Hey hey hey hey hey hey
Who you drivin' now

She is my Christ
She is my redeemer
The architect of my dreams
She'll stay with me forever

The mention of her name
Goes through me like a spear
The mention of her name
And I will surrender

There's no need to fight it
There's no need to hide it
There's no need to doubt it
Stay in love forever
Stay in love forever
Stay in love forever

Your voice in the morning
Makes everything clearer
All my doubts are gone
And pain I can't remember

Deity incarnate
Celestial redeemer
To me your name is sacred
To you I will surrender

There's no need to fight it
There's no need to hide it
There's no need to doubt it
Stay in love forever
Stay in love forever
Stay in love forever
Stay in love forever

Pure, complete, unbounded
Absolute overpowering
Perfect and transcending
For once and for all and forever

She is my Christ
She is my redeemer
The architect of my dreams
She'll stay with me forever

Love that won't die
She is revolution
Tender sweet godsend
I'm granted absolution

There's no need to fight it
There's no need to hide it
There's no need to doubt it
Stay in love forever
Stay in love forever
Stay in love forever

I've got a flight
And its leaving tonight
Lord Help me, I'm feeling blue
I'm leaving my life behind me
When I go I'm leaving you

I've got a flight
And its leaving tonight
In the slipstream, I will find my space
Make my way to Tijuana
Beneath the stars, I will escape

The vast ocean, of emotions are dead to me
My mind is cold, and my heart is numb
Lack of sleep and no melatonin
There's no shelter on the run

You opened my arms to a million stars
Took my heart and you tore it apart
But there's no regrets, no pain remains
I've turned away, and I cannot stay

The London rain will remain a memory
Locked away in a blood red box
Your voice only an echo inside of me
I don't look back in my thoughts

You opened my arms to a million stars
Took my heart and you tore it apart
But there's no regrets, no pain remains
I've turned away, and I cannot stay

The sun rise, the tides will ebb and flow
The days will come and the days will go
I live only for what's ahead of me
Life is short is all that I know

The sun will rise tomorrow
Of all things that is certain

Motherfucker
What's going on in my head
It's racing round
I'm left for dead
Coming round
Losing Heart
Making love
Then it starts

Got to get away from here
Got to get away from here

A song for the baby in your womb
A song for your body in the tomb
A song for the dreams woven in your room
Come true soon,

Never let you come to any harm
Never take your future from my arms
I'll never let what we had turn bad
Or let you be sad

Sometimes I dream that we die young
Spend eternity beneath the summer sun
Spend the summers barefoot,
Fly away for good

The moonlight is playing with my heart
Hopes and dreams are streaming upwards
The ephemeral beauty of transient days
We'll fly away

Sometimes I dream that we die young
Spend eternity beneath the summer sun
Spend the summers barefoot,

Written by M. Hamilton

Well I guess I gotta go now
saying farewell until the next time
but I know we'll meet again
Seems so early to be leaving
feel so tired, just wanna sleep now
Fade away

Gabriel, am I finished?
Trapped inside, you got me in it
Is it over in a minute?
Gabriel?
Gabriel, am I finished?
Trapped inside, you got me in it
Is it over in a minute?
Gabriel?

Hear them in the distance
singing so softly, oh so peaceful
calling me on
Being drawn ever closer
down towards the cool calm river
I can hear their song

Gabriel, am I finished?
Trapped inside, you got me in it.
Is it over in a minute
Gabriel?
Gabriel, am I finished?
Trapped inside, you got me in it
Is it over in a minute?

The curtain is dropping
I Stand in the fading lights of my summer
My heart is breaking
As the happiest time of my life is ending

I never laughing
Only forgetting
As I lose my memory
The sun is for the last time setting

All the time it takes
My whole life would never last that long
It's sad but it's true so I must get on
With my short life meandering on and on
Into inexistance

Now I'm dreaming
Of someone so precious
The world's too cruel to
Hold her in its arms and hatefully break her

Now I'm leaving
Standing at the front door for the last time
I was coasting in a dream world
But smiling faces are no more

All the time it takes
My whole life could never last that long
It's sad but it's true so I must get on
With my short life meandering on and on
Into inexistance

If you're coasting
If you're sailing
If you're dreaming
You can be my friend we can dream together

If you're coasting
If you're smiling
If you're nowhere
Hide your face till no one's looking

All the time it takes
My whole life could never last that long
It's sad but it's true so I must get on
With my short life meandering on and on
Into inexistance

I try so hard
But I can never have her back again
I lost it all and she heard me cry
And she knows so well

That it's sad but it's true so I must get on
With my short life been gathering on and on
Into inexistance

If you like me
If you're like me
If you're coasting

I can't stop- can't stop thinking
About you at all
I called you up to come on round tonight
You wouldn't give a straight answer
But you wouldn't say no
Even though you're going with him

Here comes the night
Lead me on
In your veins
Warm inside
Heart beats fast
Lights are low
I want you
Let it go

You arrive with cool in your eyes
And explain to me
How he makes you feel inside
So safe, secure
Later on as the night is falling
You bring me on with violent words
Desire and being young

Here comes the night
Lead me on
In your veins
Warm inside
Heart beats fast
Lights are low
I want you
Let it go

Here comes the night- it is coming on
The lights are low and our records on
Inside your veins and you lead me on

I can't be myself, when I'm alone
I think stupid things, when left on my own
I need somebody to be around
Someone to play up to, to fool about
I need somebody, to pick me up

I need somebody
Oh anybody
I need somebody
You know that it's you

I think out loud, when there's no-one around
I can't understand, why I ever get down
I need somebody to take me home
To the world I once knew, was formed on it's own
I need somebody to see a smile
Knowing things will get better after a while

I need somebody
Oh anybody
I need somebody
You know that it's you

(Wheeler / Hamilton / McMurray)

You are about to embark on a voyage... 
A voyage beyond the stars 
one - two - three - four 

In the mid-day heat I gave a sigh
Cruisin' through the garden district, I was out of my mind
The Star of India's in my hotel room
In a briefcase combination: 3, 2, 1 (which only I know)
And I've just seen my mentor, Dr. No
"California Sun" is on the radio, let's go

I just wanna reach the radio star
It's a satellite off Venus and it ain't too far

I was shooting up in my hotel room
When the phone started ringing - oh no
It was Dr. No, he gave the password
He said, 'Hey, man, haven't you heard? and I said 'No'
'The world's been invaded by alien life forms
Meet me at the airport, we've got to get out - let's go

I ran to the window and looked out, there were dead people lying all over the
streets.
Within two minutes I had all my stuff together.
I jumped in my car and was speeding down the highway past all the deserted cars.

In five minutes I was at the airport
but there at the gates I saw what I suppose was one of these 'alien life forms'.

I pulled my bazooka out of its bag in the back of the car and blew it to hell.

As arrange Dr. No was waiting for me in the terminal.
We got in his private jet plane and took off, two hours later landing in Zaire,
where we met up with Fu Manchu, Hannibal Lecter, the Hooded Claw and all the
rest of the gang.
We boarded the rocket and soon we were shooting off for the stars
and as we approached the space station
I looked down and observed the earth,
the US air force being annihilated
and swarms of nuclear weapons soaring through the stratosphere
destroying the earth

(Wheeler)

I moved in that very day 
The room was small but I liked it anyway 
I watched TV while I dreamed through my mind 
And the pregnant girl was busy all the ti-ime-ime 
September and october passed me by 
I decided to go home for a while 
I got a lift with an old friend of mine 
I wanted her still, she reminded me on the way 

So when I got home I went to see mom and dad 
They asked was I ok, was I happy enough 
And I smiled and I said that I was 

A few days later I decided to leave 
I couldn't find anyone who could take me 
The only thing I could do was take a bus 
So at half six I left to catch the late expre-s-s 
I boarded the bus with my clean washing over-night bag 
I sat beside a girl all dressed in black 
We talked and smiled most of the way 
'till her jealous boyfriend angrily led her away 

Then when I reached the house there was a party on inside 
My friend came to the door of my bachelor pad 
And welcomed me in from the night 
As I walking through the happy house on halloween night 
My friends were all there, my heart was glad 
And my life felt actually alright 
My friends were all there, my heart was glad 

I haven't seen you since this morning
I'm filled with the sweetest pain
A constant aching in my soul
That just won't go away

I'm thinking about you
Thinking about you
I'm thinking about you
Thinking about you

In the quiet hours before the dawn
Talking quietly in the hall
Windows open on the streets below
As a light rain started to fall

I'm thinking about you
Thinking about you
I'm thinking about you
Thinking about you

After a night beside you
A night alone is cold and barren as before
A constant craving
Persistent rain
Incessant longing all through the day
In the soft half light of dawn
Feel the closeness of every breath
See your body outlined
Your form
Your silhouette

I haven't seen you since this morning
Still everywhere you remain
Thoughts of you on my mind
All through the rainsoaked night

I'm Thinking about you
Thinking about you
I'm thinking about you
