When it bends you try to walk a straight line
Something more for less and in the meantime
It changes shape and shifts it takes you over
Its just a warning sign

Because the writing's on the wall
The writing's on the wall

You make a deal you swear that its the last time
No sudden moves or else your soul will be mine
And when you dance you're dancing with the devil
Its just a warning sign...
You're running out of time

You can't relate, you still escape
Because you think you've seen it all
You're right on time until you find
They've just been waiting for the fall

Because the writing's on the wall
The writing's on the wall

When it bends you try to walk a straight line
Something more for less and in the meantime
It changes shape and shifts it takes you over
Its just a warning sign

You can't relate, you still escape
Because you think you've seen it all
You're right on time until you find
They've just been waiting for the fall

The Writing's on the wall
The Writing's on the wall
It's seven-hundred stories tall
The Writing's on the wall

Take your time it's a state of mind
Take your time just until you find
Take your time it's a state of mind

The Writing's on the wall
The Writing's on the wall
It's seven-hundred stories tall

. . .



So you say that your heart
When it beats its like a landslide
And the word on the street from the man
It brings you down
Can you still find the time and the signs
To look around

You tell me love
Tell me where the stars sleep
Tell me why your eyes weep
I really want to know
And show me love
Take me to the place where
Everything would change there
And we'd all be free

And you place your faith in a mountain
But what you don't understand
Is that the man is
The same old rock
Can you still find the time and the signs
To look around

And tell me love
Tell me where the stars sleep
Tell me why your eyes weep
I really want to know
And show me love
Take me to the place where
Everything would change there
And we'd all be free

These are the times
When we live inside our minds
With our hands in the air
There's voices everywhere
In the slipstream
It's like a daydream
These are the days
When we're dancing through the haze
With our ears to the ground
We're searching for the sound
Of a dove's cry, but it won't be over until

You tell me love
Tell me where the stars sleep
Tell me why your eyes weep
I really want to know
And show me love
Take me to the place where
Everything would change there
And we'd all be free

I know your name, I heard you call
A distant voice behind the wall
Something stands in our way
She said
She said

I know a place where we can go
Where on one cares and no one knows
If it's passion or play

You speak in tongues
You read my mind
I'd give it all
To see a sign
But you're taking forever

Time stands still and you stay
One step closer away
Will it take us forever

And so, I climbed the wall, I needed proof
Uncertain signs, need certain truths
With every step you take
She said, she said

You need to search, between the seams
You need to twist within the dream
You're one step closer away

You speak in tongues
You read my mind
I'd give it all
To see a sign
But you're taking forever

Time stands still and you stay
One step closer away
Will it take us forever

Time stands still and you stay
One step closer away
Will it take us forever

You've always been
You've always known
That all this time
I've been alone
I've always searched
For what I've lost
Beneath a rose
Behind a cross
You're always there
You're everywhere
Will it take us forever

You speak in tongues
You read my mind
I'd give it all
To see a sign
But you're taking forever

Time stands still and you stay
One step closer away
Will it take us forever

Time stands still and you stay
One step closer away

. . .



Where are you going
Can I follow
Because distance is hard to swallow
You should stay a while
Let's have a drink
Let's have a laugh

You feel power
And no worries
If that's so
Then what's your hurry
If you've got to go
There's just one thing I've got to ask

If I promise an ocean
Would you care for the notion of
Staying here and resting your weary head
It's all that she said

Well the sky's changed
That's for certain
You smile says
What you working
Time heals all
This we know
We'll work it out

And if I promise an ocean
Would you care for the notion of
Staying here and resting your weary head
And would you come back and see me, or
Angel am I dreaming because
Heaven knows that I'll miss you so
And that's a fact
Look now where I'm at
I miss you so
Look now where I'm at
I can't let go

There's more questions
Than there's answers
I'm not taking any chances
Because I need to let you know
Just how I feel

And if I promise an ocean
Would you care for the notion of
Staying here and resting your weary head
And would you come back and see me, or
Angel am I dreaming because
Heaven knows that I'll miss you so
And that's a fact
Look now where I'm at
I miss you so

Look now where I'm at
I miss you so
Look now where I'm at
I miss you so
I can't let go

. . .



There's a secret I've learned
So many lives hold their lessons in turn
Just like a fire consumes what it burns
My desire for her is strong

She comes like a wave
When she dances beneath me she says
If I would only just taste her tonight
Then my fight with the night would be over

And the light seems to bend
When this darkness descends
On my soul
Is it strange I can see
Through the veil
When I loose all control

Show me
When this darkness descends
Please show me
When this darkness descends
Luxuria

Behind what she veils
Its just ten steps to her treasure and grail
I'm now convinced I can't fall and I can't fail
Because my love for her is strong

And the light seems to bend
When this darkness descends
On my soul
Is it strange I can see
Through the veil
When I loose all control

Show me
When this darkness descends
Please show me
When this darkness descends
Luxuria

Open the door
Please open the door
I need to see more

Show me
When this darkness descends
Please show me
When this darkness descends
Luxuria

When this darkness descends
Please show me
When this darkness descends
Please show me
When this darkness descends
When this darkness descends
Luxuria

Open the door
Please open the door
Please open the door

. . .



You paint such a pretty picture
You fuel my desire
But destiny's always uncertain
When fate's still in style

I've travelled the road of excess
I've learned to survive
I picked up the devil he told me
He wanted to drive...

I'm watching the rain clouds come
And wash over me
And I fall down wasted
I overload
I overload
Overload

So precious the smallest of mercies
I hold to my chest
I'm finding it's taking forever
To sing every breath
But I know what I've said
I know what I've done
But I'm taking a break from reason
Because I still want some fun

I'm watching the rain clouds come
And wash over me
I'm searching for someone, something
To satify me
I'm watching the rain clouds come
And wash over me
And I fall down wasted
I overload

So satisfy everything
And damn the dismay
Because pleasure becomes the puppet
Before your mistakes
So sing, all along, sing every song
Louder, louder now...

I'm watching the rain clouds come
And wash over me
I'm searching for someone, something
To satisfy me
I'm watching the rain clouds come
And wash over me
And I fall down wasted
I overload
I overload
I overload
I overload

. . .



Tell me sister about the story
Of the man who lost control
Was it heaven, or temptations
Or was it fire that stole his soul
And is he...
Coming back again...I'm
Coming back again...I'm
Coming back again...I'm
Coming back again...I'm

I've been sleeping for a thousand ages
And I need to clear my mind
These painted mirrors give no reflection
It's getting hard to see the signs

You make the anger in me
You take the anger from me
You make the anger in me
You take the anger from me

The resurrection's near
The revolution's here
Coming back again...I'm
Coming back again...I'm
The resurrection's near
It's just a means to an end
So I'm coming back again
Coming back again...I'm
Coming back again...I'm
Coming back again...I'm
Coming back again...I'm

I'm pretty sure that I haven't hurt you
But if I have you'll let me know
These painted mirrors and desperate measures
They take a while to steal your soul

You make the anger in me
You take the anger from me
You make the anger in me
You take the anger from me

The resurrection's near
The revolution's here
Coming back again...I'm
Coming back again...I'm
The resurrection's near
It's just a means to an end
So I'm coming back again

The resurrection's near
The revolution's here
Coming back again...I'm
Coming back again...I'm

The resurrection's near
The revolution's here
Coming back again...I'm
Coming back again...I'm
The resurrection's near
It's just a means to an end
It's just a means to an end
Can you hear me, my friends
I said, I'm coming back again

Coming back again
Coming back again
Coming back again

. . .



I'm the unseen
I'm disbelief...I'm undone

You are a dream
You are desire...You're the one

If you show me what I'm missing
If you tell me I would listen to you
Guide me through the night

And please...watch over me
And please...
And please...watch over me
Because I can't carry on...without you

These are the days
When everything's changed...look around

Dancing I fall
I fall through these cracks that surround

If you show me what I'm missing
If you tell me I would listen to you
Guide me through the night

And please...watch over me
And please...watch over me
And please...watch over

I'm burning like a fire without end
As I'm turning into storm clouds twisting in the wind
I surrender everything...remember everything

And please...watch over me
Because I've fallen down
And I can't carry on

. . .



These premonitions shine like stars that
Fall to earth too fast
I see the empty glass

Where do we belong
Tell me major tom
Because nothing's making sense
I listen and lament

For golden years that pass like thunder
And soldier on through time
This empty glass is mine

Where do we belong
Could you help us major tom
Because nothing's making sense
I listen and lament

A starman will come
When diamond dogs run
We need ground control
We're losing our souls

A starman will come
When diamond dogs run
We need ground control
We're losing our souls

We're losing our souls
We're losing our souls

. . .



I don't know what it is but I know that I need it
A thousand things and a kiss and the chance I'll decieve it

I can't stand no more
I won't stand no more
I can't stand it anymore

I can't stand no more
I won't stand no more
I can't stand no more
I won't stand no more
I can't stand it anymore

I'm wishing you would stay
"I am not far away"
And help me find my way love
"You are not lost my love"
I'm wishing you would stay
"I am not far away"
I'm trying to break the chains of...
"There's no prison here"

Beyond ourselves lessons learned
And the space that's between us
A thousand things and a kiss
And the chance it decieves us

I can't stand no more
I won't stand no more
I can't stand it anymore

I can't stand no more
I won't stand no more
I can't stand no more
I won't stand no more
I can't stand it anymore

I'm wishing you would stay
"I am not far away"
And help me find my way love
"You are not lost my love"
I'm wishing you would stay
"I am not far away"
I'm trying to break the chains of...
"There's no prison here"
Wishing you would stay
"I am not far away"
I try to find my way
"You are not lost my love"

And I know yo feel it hurts us now
Like a thorn beneath a rose
But it stays within
Without us girl
There's nothing more

I'm wishing you would stay
"I am not far away"
And help me find my way love
"You are not lost my love"
I'm wishing you would stay
"I am not far away"
I'm trying to break the chains of...
"There's no prison here"

I'm wishing you would stay
"I am not far away"
And help me find my way love
"You are not lost my love"
I'm wishing you would stay
"I am not far away"
I'm trying to break the chains of...
"There's no prison here"

I'm wishing you would stay
"I am not far away"
I'm trying to break the chains of...

. . .



Here, here we are
Shelterless souls
Lit by the stars
And here, here we stand
Divided by lines
We've drawn in the sand

As the world keeps turning
And we keep on searching
For seven circles twisting

Here, here and now
Something must be
Sentient somehow

Because the world keeps turning
And I keep on searching
For seven circles twisting
Around these moments of our lives
Dancing on the edge of night
Everything we've lost is coming back again
All I see
All I see
Will Always be

See what we are is limitless light
Reflecting the stars

Because the world keeps turning
And I keep on searching
For seven circles twisting
Around these moments of our lives
Dancing on the edge of night
Everything we've lost is coming back again
All I see
All I see
Will always be
And I don't know why

She said come back
The world is waiting for you
Don't cry
I will still be here
Come back
Because the world is waiting for you
Don't you cry now
