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 grey, she's mean and she's restless (so restless)
All over you as they say rumours 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
'scuse my timing but say, how d'you fit in with this flim, flam and judy
Maximum big suprise your smile is something new
I pull my shirt off and pray, we're sacred and bound to suffer the
heatwave
Pull my shirt off and pray we're coming up on re-election day
Don't even try to induce, In all my restrain there's no hesitation
All the signs on the loose 'cause sanity's rare this end of the hard day
(yeh)Shadows are crawling out of the subway
Any way that you choose in every direction just to confuse me
Maximum big suprise 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 a wind
Cut open murmurs and sounds be calm hands on skin
Carry further oh...entangled strands all sing
Saving some time to slip away we could dance oh..
Shouldn't be asking wild and scheming
Could be my election day
Stretching my back down the way
To your invitation stretching my body
Use your intuitive play
cause maybe we have more play time than money
Maximum big suprise you know something new
I pull my shirt off and pray, we're sacred and bound to suffer this
heatwave
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's sunlight 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 need your blind full secrets
hunting fast and loose
the lacy intrigue of this weekend
Should not be abused
You could take me where you want
could you take me all the time
away yeah...wait a little longer
don't go to far
I wouldn't like
I wouldn't like you keeping me in the dark
tender is the truce i'm tasting
watching you dictate
heady nights of sleepless wasting
a face i can't escape
we could wave the world goodbye
to all of the boys cheerio
(chorus)
(chorus)
help me now i'm slipping deeper
tell me what to say
but without words you draw me closer
each time you turn away
something inside you cries
but is it something i'll never find
(chorus)
away yeah...wait a little longer before we go to far
I wouldn't like
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 this
there'll be no tears--
no tradgedy
Sure I wouldn't break and cry, if...
you walk away--
believe me
Chorus:
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
belive this--
(chorus)
The Flame
I could feel the breeze blowing chance
Blowing through my doorway
Warm and restless just as you walked by
Inside of smoky 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 dejavu
Never puy my trust in fate suprises do arrive so late
Why should I be suprised 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 steel my flame
Sometimes cards are drawn and the tables turn
The waiting game is over
Take this dealers hand and steal away the dawn
Don't give me any chance to wander back from this innocence
Don't give me any chances at all
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 there?
Stumbling out I made my way towards the open door
climbing fast the sun broad streaming
laughter down into your empty gaze
where can I find out
how I want to join in your games
I hear you calling
I hear you ... calling calling calling calling
whispering your love song in my ear
how can you touch me?
how do you really dare?

(Instrumental)
The Promise
Those tears on a gaping voice
Who's stretching arms match the hunger of mine
There 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 gain save
But the deep blue screams of falling dreams with our next mov
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 of 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
El Diablo
Enter newborn players and gather
Weigh 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 ... a lover sold
I can't stand another howling day
Inside of this empty skin
While the beacons burn a flame
Please return from so far away
Chorus:
One life with the devil do I play
For so long el diablo is to blame
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?
Weddings on the wind, will she blow my way?
He can dance and she can sing
She will tear your heart away
While the promise burns a flame
And will you return from so far away?
(chorus x2)
One life but the devil is in my way
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 snow
Searching flames and hide
burning stones as she looks
for the heart somebody stole
She knows the violations
Lovers' arms without occasion
who knows where to find a true heart
for Lady Ice
mezmerized in the candle flame
compromised by the cruel bands of steel around her breast
She knows the desolation
Lovers' arms, their isolation
who knows where to find a true heart
for Lady Ice?
Lady's eyes slip away
from the part she plays in school
she knows of roles and hide-aways
suppose she knows the time's away?
she knows where to find a true heart for Lady Ice...
