American English

here comes my one and only
talking like a starlet on a hollywood screen
she whispers something to me
I hear the words but I don't know what she means 

oh she speaks american english
oh don't always understand
though she speaks american english
got the language of love
at her command 

love travels transatlantic
I'm hot and bothered by her figure of speech
can't follow her semantics
but when her body moves it's clear to me 

chorus 

we don't need words
to express what is real
we've got each other
that says everything that we feel 

there's too much damn confusion
with all this talking going round and round
we'll reach our own conclusion
we'll make connection on the common ground 

chorus 

she speaks american english
she speaks the language of love
she speaks american english

In Some Other World

the prophet born again
the bible In his hand
with fire and brimstone eyes
the saviour on tv
with tax immunity
donations exorcised 

who are these men
in their ivory towers
not heaven sent no no
worshipping greed
in the name of Jesus
save our souls 

whoa
in some other world
you'd be branded as theives
thrown to your knees
and made to answer
in some different time
they would lock you away
as mad men I'd say
amen 

behind the public smile
the politicians guile
so vain and powerful
elected for his hair
by people unaware
its unbelievable 

brothers in arms
robbing the future
shining in childrens eyes
shame on this world
shame on our country
shame on you 

chorus 

we built you an altar
instead of an outcast we made you a king
respected and wealthy
the verdict is in
the jury is guilty 

worshipping greed
in the name of Jesus
shame on you 

chorus

Ready or Not

time to break out
out of your shell into the blue
spread your wings across the sky
ready or not
time to find out
what does the future hold for you

you've got the power to face it on your own
and fulfill your destiny 

chorus

spread your wings
fly away and cast your fate to the wind 

remember don't look back
don't you ever look back

chorus

The Promise

leaves are falling green and gold
changing of the season
safe and warm against the cold
within our house new life unfolds 

these are the promised days
from cradle to the grave
this is the special time
in which the light will shine 

welcome to the human world
filled with love and hatred
some are rich and some are poor
unto this world our child is born 

chorus 

he's coming
she's coming
someone to build a new world for us
he's coming
she's coming
to keep the promise in all of us 

heed the warning wind that blows
ignorance and evil
rapes the harvest that we sow
crush the flower where it grows 

chorus

Heaven in her Bed

golden sands sunny days
a beautiful girl in emerald waves
out of my depth
over my head
I found heaven in her bed 

a mystery
revealed to me
higher than I'd ever been
out of this world
I was hurled
faster and faster
and now I'm falling 

floating in a silken stream
drifting through a velvet dream
out of sync
out of time
out of body
out of mind 

we shared a slice
of paradise
how could I ever look back
into her web
I was led
over and over
and I'm still falling 

down below the surface
where the heart and soul of me
dissolves into the whirlpool
of emotion running free
all of my resistance
disappears without a trace
I'm open to suggestion
I am flying I am flying
high above the mountains
and high above the clouds
soaring with a passion
that inside is bursting out
and I can almost see forever
shining like the sparkle in her eyes 

a mystery
revealed to me
higher than I'd ever been
out of this world
I was hurled
faster and faster
and now I'm falling 

golden sands sunny days
a beautiful girl in emerald waves
out of my depth
over my head
I found heaven in her bed
heaven in her bed

Bug in the Machine

I know you must've phoned
cause you can't live without me
but my answering machine
must be going on the blink 

I know you want to say
want to say you're sorry
but the message on the phone
sounded like "leave me alone" 

I must've bought a faulty unit
you couldn't want a world without me in it
and up till now it was working like a dream
uh oh uh oh
bug in the machine 

must be something wrong
got a bad connection
the wires must be crossed
I know it can't be you I lost 

your voice was sounding strange to me
like on your own was what you want to be
reuniteds what I'm sure you mean
uh oh uh oh
bug in the machine 

oh I'm standing on the edge
of a nervous breakdown
cause an answering machine
you and I has come between 

can't hold a one way conversation
I need some real communication
I'd like to fix that little green
uh oh uh oh
bug in the machine 

I know you must've phoned
'cause you can't live without me
my answering machine
must be going on the blink
