The Damned Don't Cry

Travelling with no destination
No place to go
Nameless towns with faceless people
No place I know

Time to close my mind and drift off
To other scenes
Lose myself in glossy pages
Dull magazines

Moments pass by, oh so slowly
Makes me lonely too
Twisted street lights in the darkness
Makes me lonely too

Ah The Damned Don't Cry
No The Damned Don't Cry
???
Pass my trembling face
I see myself in rainsoaked windows
In a different place

Single heartbeats in the dim light
Makes me lonely too
Hearing sounds of celebrations
Makes me lonely too

The Anvil (night club school)

Lost amongst the crowd
On the torso's pumping iron
A man with a horn takes to the stage
The drum beat cracks in time

Harder and bolder the bodies move
Shoulder to shoulder skin feels smooth
Hot, sticky, still so cool
The crash of the anvil and the nightclub school

Watch the moving bodies
As they react to the sound
Feasting on the visions
See the figures going round

Graceful and flowing the fashion shows
Sensual and glowing the passion grows
Pick your playmate still so cool
The crash of the anvil and the nightclub school

Take it as it comes up
Leave it when it's done
Put a number in your matchbook
And call when you want fun

Living the nightlife to the end
Giving the right life like a friend
One more rover still so cool
The crash of the anvil and the nightclub school

Ah Nightclub School
Dance with me
Ah Nightclub School
Play with me
Ah Nightclub School
Stay with me
Ah Nightclub School
Ride with me

Ah Nightclub School
Have fun with me

Ah Nightclub School
Dance with me

Ah Nightclub School
The drumbeat cracks in time

Move Up

Move Up !
To a different sound
To a higher ground
To a different key
With a melody
As the feeling grows
With the lights down low
When you hear the cry
Taste the alibi

Questioned once again
Drink the soothing cup
Said the liquid friend
Choose the rush to all

Move Up !
Kiss a tear goodbye
Cry a distant cry
Dance a daring dance
Take a 1-0 chance
Take your grasp on fate
Rise to heaven's gate
Stand above the rest
And take the lasting test

Night Train

The message
In a faded envelope
In a vice-like grip
The passage
Of a carriage in the dark
On a foreign trip (again)
The image
Of a figure in the trees
In the evening rain
The knowledge
Of a stranger in your midst
On a speeding train (again)
Night train
He senses
Perfume lingers in the night
Smell of French cologne
He watches
As a hand turns down the light
Leaves him all alone (again)
He whispers
In a dim lit empty room
But it's all in vain
He laughs
When he reads the note he finds
On the midnight train (again)
Night train
Journey on the night train

The Horseman

See him move 'cross the burning sand in the day sun
Watch the sweeping shadows span 'til the night comes
Man and beast in that ancient stance 
It's the Horseman
Horseman!

Silhouetting the desert sky in a strange haze
Riding strong with the note, "I'm high in a strange daze"
Slowly he smiles, silently sighs, slither to black, shading his eyes
Nothing changes, nothing stops the Horseman
Horseman!

The race is on again, the pace is on again
The moves are from the reign, 
The straps are pulling hard, the sweat is running hot
The light is dimming fast
His task is almost done, this race is almost won
His journey nears it's end
Fool, passionate delight, cuts through his heart tonight
He screams all night!
Ah The Horseman (Oh the Horseman)

Look What They've Done

Hey, look there
So strange
Through the walls, I can hear them talk about
Someone who, sounds alot like me
Whispers so soft (It really doesn't matter)
Whispers so clear (It really doesn't matter)
What have they done to me ?
Behind their hands, I can see them smile at me
Tell about everything I do
Pulling me down (It really doesn't matter)
Underground
What have they done to me?

The pain, it's so strange
It's not the same, It's so strange

Again We Love

My shining hour has come upon me here
The moment lingers in my room
These words of mad music ringing clear
I drink them in but it's gone too soon
We cry, We sigh, Again we love

And in my sweating palm, I hold the key
The image deja-vu's again
My head is spinning with a rhapsody
The moment's over but it's not the end
We cry, We sigh, Again we love

These passing shapes feel so cool to me
The taste of perfume in the air
The crystal shimmer of a blue sea
Sun kissed beaches, but there's no one there
We cry, We sigh, Again we love

Wildlife

Wildlife, One life, My life, Nightlife

Whispers

show me, yes, go on, no you, alright
wake up, they're moving, they can hear us
I know they can hear us....

wake up, wake up, wake up
