Pictures Of A Gone World

[No lyrics]

. . .


Everybody go 'round, go 'round, go 'round
Everybody lay down, lay down, lay down
Don't nobody make a sound
Everybody lay down

Everybody give up, give up, give up
Nobody hang tough, hang tough, hang tough
Life a little too rough
Everybody lay down

Everybody say hey, don't nobody say no
Everybody say wait, don't nobody say go
Everybody lay down

Everybody cry loud, cry loud, cry loud
Nobody too proud, too proud, too proud
To tell you what they're all about
Everybody lay down

Everybody don't care, don't care, don't care
Nobody play fair, play fair, play fair
Maybe everybody too scared
Everybody lay down

Everybody say hey, don't nobody say no
Everybody say wait, don't nobody say go
Everybody lay down

Everybody look higher
Everybody wanna touch the fire
Nobody willing to lay it all down

Everybody want heaven
Everybody say amen
One thing is certain
You gotta lay it all down

Everybody say hey, don't nobody say no
Everybody say wait, don't nobody say go
Everybody lay down

. . .


He used to be sombody's baby
Someone used to hold him close
And rock him gently
He used to be the light in someone's eyes
He used to matter
He used to matter
He used to matter

Someone cared if he lived or died
Someone held him in their arms
When he cried
And when he hurt
Someone kept the world away
Someone loved him
Someone loved him

He used to be somebody's baby
Someone used to hold him close
And rock him gently
He used to be the light in someone's eyes
He used to matter
He used to matter

That was then, that was so long ago
Long before they came and took his soul
Long before he became invisible
That was when, he wasn't human garbage then

He used to be somebody's baby
Someone used to hold him close
And rock him gently
He used to be the light in someone's eyes
He used to matter
He used to matter

. . .


Anger shakes the house of cards
Loving cup upon the bars
We bend the truth to help us thru the night
Temper thrown against the wall
Shatters like an empty glass
Nothin can save us from our own selves tonight

Chorus:
Anger is a mighty sword
Vengence is our own reward
Love goes blind one eye at a time
Gunne cut away from the ties that bind
Hey hey

There's an edge within my voice
Helps me win when I should lose
We pick and choose our weapons carefully
Words are twisted like a fist
Behind our backs no slight-of-hand
No battle ever ended with a kiss

Chorus

Anger shakes the house of cards
Loving cup upon the bars
We bend the truth to help us thru the night

Chorus

. . .


Are you lonely tonight?
Are you thinkin of me?
Do you ever wonder hot I should feel?
Close your eyes now and picture me there
You can push us aside
You can tear us apart
But it doesn't change the way that I feel
Close your eyes now and you'll see me there
By your side, so wrong, so right

Chorus:
We make our choices
As time goes by
But nothin matter
More than you and I
One in a million
Two of a kind
You and I

It was all we could stand
IT was heaven and hell
It was everything and nothing together
Maybe something are just meant to be
What they are
So close, so far

Chorus

You know I love you
I want you
But what can I do?
Cant' fight the feelin
I just can't go on without you
Baby I want you

Are you lonely tonight?
Are you thinkin of me?
Do you ever wonder, how I should feel?
Maybe some things are just meant to be

Chorus

. . .


The hammer lands
The verdict stand
The walls come tumblin down
The color code
Rule of thimb
Shadows on the sun

Can you tell me?
Where it's really at

Chorus:
All around the world tonight
People watchin
People waitin
All around the world tonight
People feelin
Disconnected
(Somebody better plug me in)

The jukebox plays
A toxic waltz
A factory belches steam
A sidewalk end in baby steps
The widow maker screams
(And it sounds like this)
Hear her call your name

Chorus

The page is turned
The city burned
The whole world falls apart
The plug is pulled
Truth escapes
The space between our hearts
Space between our hearts
Space between our hearts

All around the world tonight

. . .


People like to shake you up and put you down
Run you all around
Drive you crazy
Like to steal the rose right out of your bed
Get inside your head
Drive you crazy
Never really knew what love could be, yeh
Never really thought about you and me, yeh

Chorus:
Crazy
I wanna go crazy
You know I'm gunna go crazy
Crazy
I really wanna go crazy
Feel like I'm gunna go crazy

Everybody tell you how you ought to be
What they think they see
They can't teach you, no
Big world on your shoulders
It don't mean a thing
If that song they sing
It don't reach you
(Hey) Never really knew what love could be, yeh
Only want to think about you and me, yeh

Chorus

Crazy, crazy
Baby, Baby, oh oh oh

. . .


I don't know if it's me
Or just the sign of the times
But I want a better life
Than the one I've been livin

Ain't no one says
That you can't change who you are
Ain't no law says
You gotta take what you're givin

I wanna find a place
Where the nights are warm
And the wind don't blow
So cold against my skin
I wanna find some shelter
In someone's arms
When I go too far
I know that

Chorus:
Every time I fall back
You grab my shoulder
Yo keep me from fallin
Every time I fall back
Your arms are open
I hear you callin me

I believe that people are the same
Wherever you go
Everybody's seen their reflection
The face we wear is not our face at all, no
We've lost all direction
Don't wanna dance
The dance of the fool no more
Don't wanna give away my soul for nothin
Don't wanna sell myself
Door to door
I just wanna know that

Chorus

. . .


Wise men say there are the facts of life
What ya can't read, you gotta write
What you don't know can hurt you
Welcome to the Wasteland

Haild Mary, hear me now
I'm in need of Sanctuary
Yes, there are hard time to be livin in
Out in the Wasteland
Love's a give away
I fall on my face, like a rebel in the dirt

Chorus:
Sanctuary
Give me some protections
Baby, baby cover me

Feelin lost so afraid
Tryin to keep a handle on the blade
Been such a long time running
Behind these walls inside of me
Ain't nothin clear as far as I see
Looks like a storm cloud breakin
Off in the distance
I hear a drivin beat, drivin beat
Sun goes down like a rebel in the dirt

Chorus

Sanctuary
Give me some affection
Baby, baby shelter me

Heartache gunna worry me down
I don't like it

Show me mercy, peace of mind
Stand beside me in these troubled times
Give me a reason to believe in now
Love and affection
They seem so far away, so far away
All I can do just to make it thru the night

Chorus

Sanctuary give me some affection
Baby, baby shelter me
Sanctuary, Sanctuary...

. . .


They say the hand is quicker than the eye
And two wrongs don't make a right
I feel lightning when you walk by
You got the power to make me higher, yeh

Chorus:
Hear me when I say
Rise
See a better day
Come on, yeh

They say the power of love us to blame
Time stops when i speak your name
Now and forever you are the one
Love-light shining on and on and on

Rise
Hear me when i say
Come on, yeh
Can you feel the power
Rise
See a better day
Come on

They say the power of love is like the sun
Shining down on everyone
(Hey) Don't be frightened by what you feel
You got to know that the power of love is real

Chorus

Can you feel the power of love

. . .


Just like every cross you ever carried
Every badge you ever wore
Every vow you ever taken
Every oath you ever swore
Every kiss you ever stolen
Every moment that you waste
Everything you ever loved
And all you come to hate

It's a great temptation in your hour of need
But there's no shortcut to salvation
Searching for the kingdom key

Just like every vision you neglected
Every dream you left to die
Every hope that you rejected
Every truth that was a lie
Every road you ever traveled
Everyone you turned away
Everything you ever loved
And all that you betray

It's a great temptation in your hour of need
But there's no shortcut to salvation
Searching for the kingdom key

And the light before him was all that he could see
Like fingerprints on the hand of glory wrapped round a rosary
His love was like a chain that would not set you free
Would not set you free
A lonely soul on a mission of mercy
Hey yeh...mmm..mmmm
Mmm mmm

Just like every cross you ever carried
Every badge you ever wore
Every vow you ever taken
Every oath you ever swore
Everything you ever loved
And all you come to hate

It's a great temptation in your hour of need
But there's no shortcut to salvation
Searching for the kingdom key

It's a great temptation in your hour of need
But there's no shortcut to salvation
Searching for the kingdom key
Hey hey

. . .


We paint this town in shades of gray
And the walls look high
'Til you step away
Ain't it funny how you can look around
And never see the truth
'Til it knocks you down
Never see the light
'Til you're tradin down

Work hard labor for your daily bread
While the golden dream spins around your head
Time gets money, money buys you time
For the foolish things that you left behind
Workin workin overtime
And tradin down

It's gunna be alright (he said)
It's gunna be alright
There's nothing that's here for us
That we won't mind missin

There's no future for thw workin man
See him growin old in the promised land
Nothin to show for the wasted years
But a heart full of hollow
And a taste of tears
Pushin Monday to the wall and
Tradin' down...
