ELECTION DAY
wild kind of look to the day · opening eyes impale neon flickers · she moon she turning away · the city's her slave but he's cheating his mistress
she's moody and gray · she's mean and she's restless · so restless · so restless indeed
all over you as they say · rumors or rivals yell at the strike force · hi guys by the way · are you aware you're being illegal · it's making your savior behaviour look evil · excuse my timing but say · how d'you fit in with this flim flam and judy
maximum big surprise · your smile is something new
I pull my shirt off and pray · I'm sacred and bound · to suffer the heatwave · pull my shirt off and pray · we're coming up on re-election day
stretching my luck down the way · to your invitation stretching my body · use your intuitive play · 'cause maybe we have more playtime than money
maximum big surprise · she knows something new
I pull my shirt off and pray · I'm saving myself · to suffer the heatwave · pull my shirt off and pray · we're coming up on re-election day
by roads and backways · a lover's chance · down wind · cut open murmurs · and sounds becalm hands on skin · carry further · entangled strands · all sing · time · saving some time · to slip away · we could dance
oh shouldn't be asking · wild and scheming · could be my election day
maximum big surprise · you know something new
I pull my shirt off and pray · we're sacred and bound to suffer this heat wave · pull my shirt off and pray · we're coming up on re-election day · re-election day
KEEP ME IN THE DARK
when the evening sunlight's fingers stretch across the floor · cover up your eyes with feathers · softly close the door
take me in your heavy lips · take me where the shadows slide
I'm in with your blind fold secrets · cutting fast and lose · the lacey intrigue of this weekend · should not be abused
you can take me where you want · could you take me all the time
away yeah · oh wait a little longer don't go too far · I wouldn't lie · I wouldn't like you keeping me in the dark
tender is the truce I'm tasting · watching you dictates · heady nights of sleepless wasting · a face I can't escape
we could wave the world goodbye to all the boys cheerio
away yeah · oh wait a little longer don't go too far · I wouldn't lie · I wouldn't like you keeping me in the dark · away yeah · oh wait a little longer don't go too far · I wouldn't lie · I wouldn't like you keeping me in the dark
help me now I'm sleeping deeper · tell me what to say · when without words you call me closer · each time you turn away · something inside you cries · but is it something I'll never find
away yeah · oh wait a little longer don't go too far · I wouldn't lie · I wouldn't like you keeping me in the dark · away yeah · oh wait a little longer before we go too far · I wouldn't lie · I wouldn't like to think you were keeping me in the dark
GOODBYE IS FOREVER
sometimes you have no choice · sometimes you've got no voice to say · say if you will the words · say if your world is so gray · we can decide it · they'll be no tears · no tragedy · sure I wouldn't break and cry if · you walk away · believe me
hey goodbye · goodbye is forever · hey forever · goodbye is forever and ever
sometimes it makes no sense · this side of cruel coincidence · caught up in our own barbed wire · to set us free · believe this
hey goodbye · goodbye is forever · hey forever · goodbye is forever and ever
hey goodbye · goodbye is forever · hey forever · goodbye is forever and ever · goodbye · goodbye is forever · hey forever · goodbye is forever and ever
THE FLAME
vengo de la tierra del fuego · ten cuidado cuando llamas mi nombre
I could feel the breeze blowing change · blowing through my doorway · warm and restless just as you walked by
inside of smokey halls · a circle drawn and voices call · to raise some magic wind in my world
strange coincidence each time you look my way · this sinking feeling scares me · know my weakness call it déjà vu
never put my trust in fate · surprises do arrive so late · why should I be surprised by you
straight to the heart · straight for this precious shining · how do you dare step into my flame · one from the heart · one for this precious shining · how can you steal my flame
sometimes cards are drawn · and the tables turn · the waiting game is over · take this dealers hand and steal away the dawn
never give me any chance · to wander back form this innocence · don't give me any chances at all
straight to the heart · straight for this precious shining · how do you dare step into my flame · one from the heart · one for this precious shining · how can you steal my flame
straight to the heart · straight for this precious shining · how do you dare step into my flame · one from the heart · one for this precious shining · how can you steal my flame · my flame · my flame
MISSING
and as I wander down to where you lay · the blood rushed up to meet the roses in your hair · I thought I saw you smile · but now I don't see you anywhere
whispering your love song in my ear · how can you touch me · when you're not really here
stumbling out I made my way towards the open door · climbing fast the sun poured streaming laughter down into your empty gaze · where can I find you · now I want to join in your game · I hear you calling · I hear you calling · calling · calling
whispering your love song in my ear · how can you touch me · how do you really dare

THE PROMISE
whose tears on a gaping voice · who's stretching arms match the hunger of mine · these lips will they never join · but always draw me closer and further entwined
with a promise dealer understand all freedoms fade away · to a point of view where many different pathways meet · and we're standing on this precipice with nothing much to save · with a deep blue screams of falling dreams with our next move
heaven hide your eyes · heaven's eyes will never dry
the shades of a thousand steel · come flashing by my face in the fury of war · in desolation and abandoned fields · the hungry make their stand when they'll stand for no more
hear the passion in their voices · see the heaven in their eyes · their hopes and schemes are waiting dreams for less than paradise · and sometimes we make promises we never mean to keep · for blackmail is the only deal a promise dealer sees
heaven hide your eyes · heaven's eyes will never dry · heaven hide your eyes · heaven's eyes will never dry
heaven hide your eyes · heaven's eyes will never dry · heaven hide your eyes · heaven's eyes will never dry · heaven hide your eyes · heaven's eyes will never dry
EL DIABLO
enter newborn players and gather weight their innocence · only the brightest shine but not forever · many lights die · many tears rain · when those tears run dry · on a mountain madness day
you were just in time for a foolish deal for love I sold · I can't stand another howling day inside this empty skin
while the beacons burn I'll say · await return from so far away
one life with the devil do I play · for so long el diablo is to blame · oh
oh el diablo el diablo · won't you sell me back my soul · oh el diablo el diablo · won't you sell me back my soul
wedding is on the wind · does she blow my way · she can dance and she can sing · she will tear your heart away
while the promise burns I'll stay · and will you return from so far away
one life with the devil do I play · for so long el diablo is to blame · one life with the devil do I play · for so long el diablo is to blame · one life but the devil is in my way · oh
LADY ICE
lady ice slips into her soul · lady ice leaves a house so cold · lady ice did you know that the world was lonely too
drifting snows searching plains and high · turning stones as she looks for the heart somebody stole
she knows the violation · of lover's arms without occasion · who knows where to find the true heart for lady ice
mesmerized in the candle flame · compromised by the cruel bands of steal around her breasts
she knows the desolation · of lover's arms their isolation · and who knows where to find the true heart for lady ice
lady's eyes slip away from the part she plays in school
she knows of rolls and hideaways · suppose she knows but turns away · she knows where to find the true heart for lady ice
lady ice step outside your soul · lady ice do you know that the world is frightened too
