The way you move
Has got me yearning
The way you move
Has left me burning

I know you know what you doing to me
I know my hands will never be free
I know what it's like to be in chains

The way you move
It's meant hold me
The way you move
To tempt and taught me

I know you knew on a day you were born
I know somehow I shouldn't be won't
I know I walk every midnight to dawn in chains

In chains I'm in chains
In chains I'm in chains

You've got me dying for you
It's you that I'm living through
You've got me praying to you
Saying to you anything you want me to
You've got me reaching for you
My soul's beseeching me too
You've got me singing to you
Bringing to you anything you ask me to


The way you move
It's mesmerizing
The way you move
It's hypnotizing

I know I crumble when you are around
Start to mumble a bit of false sound
Straggle stumble shackled and bound in chains

In chains I'm in chains
In chains I'm in chains

You've got me dying for you
It's you that I'm living through
You've got me praying to you
Saying to you anything you want me to
You've got me reaching for you
My soul's beseeching me too
You've got me singing to you
Bringing to you anything you ask me to

I'm in chains In chains
I'm in chains In chains

. . .


We are here
We can love
We share something
I’m sure
That you mean the world to me

Your name was the one that was always chosen
Your words and the kindness that set me free
The shame as a hole that has kept us frozen
You open my eyes to the world I could believe

And words can leave you broken inside
You’ll have to decide
I’m hanging onto my pride

We are here
We can love
We share something
I’m sure
That you mean the world to me
When you get
What you need
It’s no way of knowing
What you’ll have
Is another hole to feed

The games that we played
Have left us hoping
The gift that we've had
The life that we breathe

This world can leave you broken inside
With nowhere to hide
I’m hanging onto my pride

We are here
We`ve been chosen
We`ve been blest
With the place we need to find in and open

We are here
We can love
We share something
I’m sure
That you mean the world to me
When you get
What you need
It’s no way of knowing
What you’ll have
Is another hole to feed

I was born with the wrong sign
In the wrong house
With the wrong ascendancy
I took the wrong road
That led to the wrong tendencies
I was in the wrong place at the wrong time
For the wrong reason and the wrong rhyme
On the wrong day of the wrong week
I used the wrong method with the wrong technique

Wrong

Wrong

There's something wrong with me chemically
Something wrong with me inherently
The wrong mix in the wrong genes
I reached the wrong ends by the wrong means
It was the wrong plan
In the wrong hands
With the wrong theory for the wrong man
The wrong lies, on the wrong vibes
The wrong questions with the wrong replies

Wrong

Wrong

I was marching to the wrong drum
With the wrong scum
Pissing out the wrong energy
Using all the wrong lines
And the wrong signs
With the wrong intensity
I was on the wrong page of the wrong book
With the wrong rendition of the wrong hook
Made the wrong move, every wrong night
With the wrong tune played till it sounded right yeah

Wrong

Wrong


Too long

Wrong

I was born with the wrong sign
In the wrong house
With the wrong ascendancy
I took the wrong road
That led to the wrong tendencies
I was in the wrong place at the wrong time
For the wrong reason and the wrong rhyme
On the wrong day of the wrong week
I used the wrong method with the wrong technique

Wrong

There is a fragile tension,
that's keeping us going.
It may not last forever,
but allways flowing.
It’s something magical in the air,
something’s so tragic we have to care.

There’s a strange obsession,
it’s drawing us nearer.
We don’t understand it,
it never get’s clearer.
It’s something mystical in our dreams,
it's so simplistic it kicks and screams.

Nothing can keep us down,
nothing can beat us down.

There's a dizzying felling,
that’s keeping us flying,
without even trying,
we’re not even trying.
It’s something radical in our heads,
nothing logical to our plans.

. . .


My little light
Is going to shine
Shine out so bright
And illuminate your mind

My little soul
Will leave a footprint

This little voice
Is going to sing
I have no choice
It will infinitely ring

My little soul
Will leave a footprint

I’m channelling the universe
It’s focusing it's love inside of me
A singularity

My little words
Are going to sting
Haven’t you heard
The pain and joy they bring

My little soul
Will leave a footprint

I’m channelling the universe
It’s focusing it's love inside of me
A singularity

Your little eyes
They’re going to see
I can’t disguise
The beauty inside me

My little soul
Will leave a footprint

. . .


They’re almost falling over you
Why don't we call a truce
Whatever they are trying to do
It`s of little use

They're drowning you in compliments
Trying to furnish proof
In all they speak with eloquence
There is little truth

You're bright, you're strong
You know your right from wrong
At least to some degree
You're wise, you're tuff
You've heard the lies enough
You smile in sympathy

I'm watching your serenity
The way your soul transcends
The tedious of sanities
Your patience never ends

And as the night begins to fade
You're heading for the door
You fall about separate
You're on your own once more

You're bright, you're strong
You know your right from wrong
At least to some degree
You're wise, you're tuff
You've heard the lies enough
You smile in sympathy

You're bright, you're strong
You know your right from wrong
At least to some degree
You're wise, you're tuff
You've heard the lies enough
You smile in sympathy

. . .


Peace will come to me
Peace will come to me

I’m leaving bitterness behind
This time I’m cleaning up my mind
There is no space for the regrets
I will remember to forget

Just look at me
I am walking of incoming
Look at the frequencies of which I vibrate
I’m going to light up the world

Peace will come to me
Peace will come to me

I’m leaving anger in the past
With all the shadows that it caused
There is radar in my heart
I should have trusted from the start

Just look at me
I am a living act of holiness
Giving all the positive virtues that I possess
I’m going to light up the world

Peace will come to me
Just wait and see
Peace will come to me
It's ment to be
Peace will come to me
Just wait and see
Peace will come to me
It’s inevitability

. . .


Come back Come back to me
I've been waiting here patiently
(Repeat 1x)

I've been walking a thin white line
Between love and hate
I could use a lil company
A lil kindness to go a long way

Weeks turn into months
Months turn into years
Reaching the same conclusions
Gathering up the fear

Come back Come back to me
I've been waiting here patiently
(Repeat 1x)

I've been walking a thin white line
Between love and hate
I could use a lil company
A lil kindness to go a long way

Weeks turn into months
Months turn into years
Reaching the same conclusions
Gathering up the fear

Come back Come back to me
I've been waiting here patiently
(Repeat 3x)

Come back Come back to me
(Repeat 1x)

On another world by another star
At another place and time
In another state of consciousness
In another state of mind
Everything was almost perfect
Everything fell into place
That you may reach a different verdict
Before the judges missed the case

In a parallel universe that's happening right now
Things between us must be worse but it's hard to see just how
And everything could have been perfect
Everything in the right place
Then I wouldn't have to play the suspect
Accused, abandoned and disgraced

I didn't choose, I didn't pull the trigger
It wasn't me, I'm just a plain and simple singer
I heard the sound, I turned my head around
To watch our love shot down

In another lonely universe, we're laying side by side
No one's hurt and no one's cursed and no one needs to lie
And everything is almost perfect
Everything is almost right
There are never any conflicts
There are never any fights

. . .


It's one of those conversations
We've we've had to devour

The ones that leave you empty
And wanting for more

You're eyes they tell me something
That I understand
You're eyes they hold the truth
And the truth is

You're miles away
You're miles away
You're miles away

Excuse me for my hesitation
Of I met you before
Your face seems so familiar
And belonging for more

You're eyes they tell me something
That I understand
You're eyes they hold the truth
And a truth is

You're miles away
You're miles away
You're miles away

With all your superstitions
And empty lines
I could be just like you
With drum but alive

Life we have with it's limitation
We all have our needs
Love to be the only answer
To lies and their trees

You're eyes they tell me something
That I understand
You're eyes they hold the truth
And a truth is

You're miles away
You're miles away
You're miles away

. . .


They call you Jezebel
Whenever we walk in
you're going straight to hell
For wanted acts of sin - they say,
and that I'll have to pay
But I need you just this way

They call you Jezebel
For what you like to wear
You're morally unwell
They say you'll never care for me
But what they fail to see is that your games are the key

Open their eyes to the beauty
Open their hearts to the fun
Open their minds to the idea that you don't own someone

They call you Jezebel
Whenever men walk by
They say that they can tell
The longing in your eyes is real
and how you really feel
But they can't see your appeal

. . .


I could corrupt you in a heartbeat
You think you’re so special
Think you’re so sweet
Wanna try it
Don’t even tempt me
Soon you’ll be crying
I wish you’d trapped me

You’ll be calling out my name
When you need someone to blame

I could corrupt you it will be easy
Watching you suffer
Girl, it will please me
I wanna touch you
With my little finger
I know it will crush you
My memory would linger

You’ll be crying all in pain
Begging me to play my games

I could corrupt you it would be ugly
They could sedate you
But what could the drugs be?
But I wouldn’t touch you
My hands on your hips
It would be too much to
Place my lips on your lips

You’ll be calling all my names
Begging me to play my games

. . .


Take my hand
And walk in the light
Understand, there's a fire to ignite
You know we have a responsibility
It's true we've been chosen
And now we have the possibility
Of melting what's frozen

Walk with me with the rapture inside
Can't you see it's not our place to decide
You know we have to make a case for love
It's more of a duty
It's clear we have a mission from above
A mission of beauty

You know I wouldn't lie to you
What would I achieve by that
It's more than I would try to do
These are the facts

Take your place here
With love in your heart
Just embrace what you've known from the start
We are fulfilling our only destiny
The angels have spoken
And all the gods in the universe agree
The spell can't be broken

. . .


One subtle look
God help me
Is all it took
To sell me
One single word
Unspoken
Your name unheard
And I'm broken

The sun and the moon
and the stars in the sky are laughing
They've seen it all before
For the wind in the trees
and the waves on the seas
It's the same thing
They can't take any more

One gentle touch
and I'm helpless
It's all too much
For my senses
One simple prayer
Denied me
When your not there
Beside me

The sun and the moon
and the stars in the sky are laughing
They've seen it all before
For the wind in the trees
and the waves on the seas
It's the same thing
They can't take any more

. . .


I'm the ghost in your house
Calling your name
My memory lingers
You'll never be the same
I'm the hole in your heart
I'm the stain in your bed
The phantom in your fingers
The voices in your head

One touch is all it took
To draw you in
To leave you hooked
One kiss, you paid the price
You had a taste
Of paradise

Now you're running in circles
Chasing imaginary footsteps
Reaching for shadows
In the bed where I once slept

I'm the ghost in your house
Calling your name
My memory lingers
You'll never be the same
I'm the hole in your heart
I'm the stain in your bed
The phantom in your fingers
The voices in your head

. . .

Oh you've got a way about you
Oh I know so much about you
Girl

Life won't be the same without you
Life will surely be the one to tell

Listen to what she's trying to tell you
She could be the one who's going to save you

Oh well
Oh well

Life won't be the same without you
Life will surely be the one to tell

It's nothing to feel ashamed about
Nothing I can complain about

Oh well
Oh well
Oh well
Oh well

Wooooaaaa mumma

Listen to what she's trying to tell you
She could be the one who's going to save you

Oh well
Oh well

It's nothing to feel ashamed about
Nothing I can complain about

O-oh well
Oh well
Oh well
Oh well

Oh you've got a way about you
Oh I know so much about you
Girl

Life won't be the same without you
Life will surely be the one to tell

Oh well
Oh well
Oh well
Oh well

Life won't be the same without you
Life will surely be the one to tell

Oh well
Oh well
Oh well
Oh well
