2. RAINBOW IN THE DARK

When there's lightning you know it always bring me down
'Cause it's free and I see that it's me who's lost
And never found
I cry out for magic I feel it dancing in the light
It was cruel lost my hold to the shadows of the night
No sign of the morning coming you've been left on your own
Like a rainbow in the dark a rainbow in the dark
Do your demons do they ever let you go
When you've tried do they hide deep inside
Is it someone that you know
You're just a picture you're an image caught in time
We're a lie you and I we're words without a rhyme
There's no sign of the morning coming
You've been left on your own
Like a rainbow in the dark just a rainbow in the dark yeah
When there's lightning you know it always brings me down
'cause it's free and I see that it's me
Who's lost and never found
Feel the magic fell it floating in the air
But it's fear and you'll hear it calling you beware look out
There's no sign of the morning coming there's
No sign of the day
You've been left on your own like
A rainbow like a rainbow in the dark

No sign of the morning you're a rainbow
In the dark whoa oh oh

Light inside the darkness that it needs yeah
We're a laugh without a tear the hope without
The fear we are coming home
We're off to the witch we may never never never come
Home but the magic that we'll feel is worth a lifetime
We're all born upon the cross the throw before T
he toss you can release yourself but the only way is down
We don't come alone we are fire we are stone
We're the hand that writes then quickly moves away
We'll know for the first time if we're evil or divine
We're the last in line yeah we're the last in line
Two eyes from the east it's the angel or the beast
And the answer lies between the good and bad
We search for the truth we could die upon the tooth
But the thrill of just the chase is worth the pain
We'll know for the first time if we're evil or divine
We're the last in line yeah we're the last in line oh oh oh
Yeah we're off to the witch we may never never
Never come home but the magic that
We'll feel is worth a lifetime

6. EVIL EYES

Hide in the midnight turn out the lights
You'll see them anyway
Sail into never they'll follow wherever
You can go and take you to the places you don't know no no
It's the call of the city the way
That black's pretty to the purest heart
It's places of pleasure they promise you treasure
If you fly and then there goes the soul of you and I
Oh do you ever think about the way I caught the rainbow
I'll be there where fire makes you dance
I'm gonna give you the look that opens up the skies
I've got evil eyes evil eyes evil eyes evil eyes

7. ROCK 'N' ROLL CHILDREN

It was starting to rain on the night that they first decided
It was blinding with snow on the night that they ran away
They were found in the dark but they never returned just
Like somebody slammed the door bang yeah
She was meant to be wild he was nearly
A child but they only could feel each other
They were paper and fire angel
And liar the devil of one another
Then they were thrown to the ground with
A terrible sound just like somebody broke a heart
Rock'n'roll children alone again rock'n'roll children
Without a friend but they got rock'n'roll
It was starting to rain on the night that they cried forever
Oh it was blinding with snow on the night
That they screamed goodbye
They were lost in the dark and they never returned
Just like somebody slammed the door
Ah rock'n'roll children alone
Again rock'n'roll children without a friend
Poor rock'n'roll children caught up in the spinning
Wheel poor rock'n'roll children alone again
It was starting to rain on the night that they ran it
Was blinding with snow on the night we let them go
Poor rock'n'roll children oh oh children

Poor rock'n'roll children poor children lost poor souls
Rock'n'roll children oh ho oh ho oh ho

8. SACRED HEART

Hey the old ones speak of winter the young ones
Praise the sun and time just slips away
Oh running into nowhere turning like a wheel
And a year becomes a day
Whenever we dream that's when we fly so here
Is a dream for just you and I
We'll fin the sacred heart somewhere bleeding
In the night yeah
Look for the light and find the sacred heart
Oh here we see the wizard staring through the glass
And he's pointing right at you
Now you can see tomorrow the answer
And the lie and the things you've got to do yeah
Oh sometimes you never fall and ah you're the lucky one
But oh sometimes you want it all
You've got to reach for the sun
And find the sacred heart somewhere bleeding
In the night oh look to the light
Well you fight to kill the dragon and bargain
With the beast and sail into a sight
You run along the rainbow and never leave
The ground and still you don't know why
Whenever you dream you're holding the key it
Opens the door to let you be free yeah
And find the sacred heart somewhere
Bleeding in the night yeah
Run for the light and you'll find the sacred heart
A shout comes from the wizard the sky begins
To crack and he's looking right at you quick
Run along the rainbow before it turns to black attack
And oh sometimes you never fall and ah you're the lucky one
Oh sometimes you need it all you've got to reach for the sun
And find the sacred heart yeah
Bleeding in the night yeah yeah
We'll find the sacred heart


9. HUNGRY FOR HEAVEN

You're a dancer but you're dancing
On air just a matter of time till you fall
You're a dreamer one night at the fair
But still you want it all
You're in danger the last of a line
But the vision lasts forever
So just hold on you can make it happen
For you reach for the stars and you will fly
You 're hungry for heaven hungry
For heaven hungry for heaven
But you need a little hell oh oh oh ooh oh
You're a runner but you're chasing
Yourself feel the hot breath on your shoulder
You're emotion running cold running warm
The young just getting older
We are sunlight we can sparkle and shine
And our dreams are what we're made of
Oh just hold on you can make it happen
For you reach for the stars and you will fly

For heaven hungry for heaven
But you need a little hell oh oh oh ooh oh hungry

10. HIDE IN THE RAINBOW

(Instrumental)


11. DREAM EVIL

All's well at the midnight hour you're ready to fly
Don't think about the darkness or the rumbling in the sky
Somewhere on the morning road just waiting for you
Somethings that just could never be are calling up
A spell so you can see yeah
Dream evil the dark that you find in the back
Of your mind dream evil dream evil
Don't go to the edge of rainbows don't close your eyes
Like things that can't be real the truth is really lies
Don't wish on a rising star you should open up the door
Where things that just should never be
Are calling up a spell so you can see yeah
Dream evil the dark that you find can come out
Of your mind dream evil take you away
Oh no it's the midnight hour don't leave me alone
Those things that just should never be are calling up
A spell so you can see
Dream evil dream evil dream evil dream evil dream evil
Oh no it's the midnight hour don't open the door
Don't go to the edge of rainbows don't sleep any more
You'll dream evil you'll dream evil
You'll dream evil dream evil


12. WILD ONE

You say you've never seen the light before
Does anyone believe you
Don't let them hear you say anymore
Nothing's really safe around here

We are an imitation of the crown
We never turn the pages
They cannot let your spirit touch the ground
And nothing's gonna change around here, no

Crack in the ceiling
Hole in the wall
They bend you over
But you won't crawl away

You've got two in the bushes
One in the hand
They'd make you over
But they can't understand you
You're always gonna be the wild one

Pretend that all you really feel is pain
Just hide behind some sorrow
How sad
But you'd do it all again
(I guess that) Nobody changes 'round here

Cat in the cradle
Man in the moon
They'd make you over
But it's too soon to know, no

Smoke in the kitchen
Fire in the hall
The train is coming
And you can hear it calling
You're always gonna be the wild one

Crack in the ceiling
Hole in the wall
They bend you over
But you won't crawl away

You've got two in the bushes
One in the hand
They'd make you over
But they can't understand you
You're always gonna be the Wild One


13. LOCK UP THE WOLVES

In the houses of the holy
To the middle of the mystic sea
At the cradle of the world

There's a black cat screaming
And it's not even midnight, no
At the cradle of the world

They're screaming for sanctuary
They're screaming at you
Lock up the wolves
Lock up the wolves, yeah, yeah, yeah

Now there's a cloud over heaven
And a pain out of paradise
In your corner of the world

Turn your back on the children
Does it feel like it's colder
In your corner of the world

They're screaming for sanctuary
They're screaming at you
Lock up the wolves
Lock up the wolves,...

Don't you let'em get away
Lock up the wolves before you play
Or it's over
Lock up the wolves
Don't you let'em get away
Don't you let'em get away

There's no back door to heaven
Just a front door to hell, oh
In this corner of the world

Now if you turn your back on the children
Don't you feel it getting colder
In your corner of the world

They're screaming for sanctuary
They're screaming at you
Lock up the wolves
Lock up the wolves,...
