1. THE WAY IT IS

In the silence of the morning
Comes a burnin' yellow light
A brand new day is dawnin'
And nothin' felt so right

Inside I feel the spirit
As I face and turn the sun
And you were nowhere near it
Now my life has just begun

I don't want you, I don't want you
I don't want you anyway
And I could never, I could never
Hurt you the way that you hurt me

And I don't understand
How could anyone have the right
To try and take my freedom
I don't want you, I don't want you
I don't want you anyway

Push your boat out into the water
As the tide comes rushing out
Your mother's only daughter

Now there seems to be some doubt
As you walk across the wasteland
That you seem to be proud of
You lay shackled in your fortress
That you look down from above

I could never hurt you
I'm not that kind of man


2. YOU KILL ME

In my brain it's understood
You killed my soul like I knew you would
You hit me with your velvet touch
My sacrifice was all too much
Why did you have to walk away
On sacred ground yesterday

Fill my pride, you don't wanna know
Still inside, every time you go
You kill me

You took the breath right out of me
And now I find that I can't see
The shallow water is my grave
Now what I lost is what I crave

Fill my pride, you don't wanna know
Still inside, every time you go
You kill me

Now I can feel the ghost within
Don't put the curse on me again
Don't leave me in this golden cage
Until I live the final page

Fill my pride, you don't wanna know
Still inside, every time you go
You kill me

Fill my pride, you don't wanna know
Still inside, every time you go
You kill me


3. NEVERAFTER

I've been walkin' in these shoes
Now I just want to bring you the news
I feel the karma comin' on
And I don't want to be here alone

I am from another world
Connected to the wire

Communication, I spill the wheel
But you just want to know if I'm real!
I feel the goodness, cut like a knife
That's how I'm gonna live my life

And I don't know I might have been
A victim of denial

Do you receive the stone
From Your master?
Do you believe, in life neverafter?

I'm not the same boy I used to be
Now there lives a man inside of me
Great expectations burn deep within
And I just want to see you again

And I cry to be strong
I can tell something's wrong
I've been here all along


4. RAIN ON ME

Good people
Please open you eyes
My People
Here come the moon on the rise

I'm steady to fly 'cross the sky
Sightation
Astral projection tonight

And I know that it won't be long
'Cause the temperature's much too strong
Can't you see I've been holding on
Now I am singing a simple song

So let it rain on me
Now the angels are fallin'
Rain on me
Now the whole world is callin'
Rain on me
The angels are fallin'
Rain on me

It's so easy
Easy to walk like you talk
Try to please me
I've been alone in the dark

Let it rain
Let the water rush over me
Can you feel the rain
I can feel the rain


5. CURSE

Met her a Thursday
Broken is the will
Golden is the word
Taken by the thrill
Shoulda known better
Shoulda worn my overcoat
Throw away the fur
Sink until I float

Oh it still hurts
Maybe you're the one
Livin' on the earth

I need a little faith
I'm livin' in a dream
Carryin' a heavy load

'Cos I need someone who lives far away
I'm going down south, down to New Orleans
Try to find another road
And still I live here with the curse

Don't know why, I wake before the fall
Won't you lead the way
I can hear the call
Maybe one day, I hope you'll come around
Voices in the wind, above the ground


6. FREEDOM

You got my pride hangin' out of my bed
You're messin' with my life so I brought my lead
Even messin' with my children
And you're screamin' at my life

Get off my back, if you want to get out of here alive

Freedom-that's what I want now
Freedom-that what I need now
Freedom-to live
Freedom-so I can give

You got my heart, split the last drink of water
You got my soul, screamin' and hollerin'
You know you hooked my girlfriend
You know the drugstore man
Well I don't need it now
Just trying to slap it out of her hand

Freedom-so I can live
Freedom-so I can give
Freedom-yeah yeah
Freedom-that's what I need

You don't have to say that you love me
If you don't mean it, you better believe
If you need me or you just wanna bleed me
You better stick in you daggers someone else
So I can leave-set me free
Right on, straight ahead
Straight up there, straight ahead

Freedom-so I can live
Freedom-so I can give...

Keep on pushing, straight ahead
Keep on pushing, straight ahead...


7. TRUTH

In a scarlet vision
In a velvet room
I come to my decision
On a dog day afternoon
I'm breaking my tradition
I think I realize
I walk on gilded splinters
I have shaken my disguise

I'm not looking for confrontation
I'm not looking for sympathy
I'm not looking for aggravation
The truth will set me free

I need somebody to push me
I need some gravity
I need to kiss the sun
The truth will set me free
Set me free

Take a trip to freedom
My wisdom is my guide
The world just keep turnin'
From the spirit deep inside
I can't be no saviour

I just wanna be
In my darkest
The truth will set me free

I'm not looking for moderation
I'm not looking for charity
I'm not looking for admiration
The truth will set me free
I need a good relation
I need a Tibetan faith
The truth will set me free


8. STONED IN THE TEMPLE

Oh it seems like somethin' tells me
I've been here before
And it don't feel right
I won't be you leper anymore
How many fingers do you see?
Now tell me, can you see the real me?

How many bodies can there be?
Like Bobby DeNiro on the big bad screen
He sure can play that role!

Stoned in the temple of madness with you
Stoned in the sadness
You don't have a clue

How's your private life?
How come you don't hang around no more
You're so serious
You can't tell the doorway from the floor

What do you need to cure your ill?
Now tell me, can you see the real me?
How do you swallow your pill?
You're psychomatic on a westside jones
Where did you get that face?

Stoned in the temple
I'm gonna fix
Stoned in the blue room
I'm gonna fix
Stoned in the darkness
I'm gonna fix
Stoned in the big house


9. TOO FAR GONE

It was only a matter of time
Trip on the world like before
When you did your crime

You were blind in the sun
You gave me a midnight dance
My beautiful one
All alone, such a long way from home

Now you're gone, you're too far gone
Overcome, you're too far gone

Days they come and go
Desire to give yourself
Believe and to know
I'll be there by your side

You're taking a midnight run
you know you can't hide
All alone, such a long way from home

Lonely, how will you fair?
Just like the wind on the wreck
Lip against the sail
You will come back to me
As sure the sand on the shore
Lies beneath the sea


10. SECOND SON

I see a worried man
I see the church
Hello, Calypso,
Say goodbye to planet earth

Here come the dream man
Here come the luck
Here come the movie
That was taken from the book

I know of a place down in Mexico
I know a place when I'm done
I can see by your face
That you've been overcome
And you're not the only one
'Cause I'm the second son

Inside your Chevrolet
No place to hide
You read the paper
With a pistol by your side

Outside the fortress
You build a bridge
Inside the pleasure dome
There burns a will to live

[Chorus]

Time is the healer
Time has no face
Time has no master plan
And time can't fall from grace

[Chorus]


11. TAKE YOU DOWN

Strange fascination, in your eyes
In the mornin' you're hypnotized
Situation, something's wrong
Realization, is much too string
When I tell you, my friend
You say it doesn't matter
Then I ask you again
If your dreams have been shattered?

When you fly, in the storm
I can feel your vibration
Now your soul has been torn
Won't you listen
Shallow people
Shallow mind
Too much evil, you will find
Take it easy, take it slow
When you hit the bottom
You will know

Are you able to move
When you stand in the fountain?
Now I tell you the truth
You will fall from the mountain
When you fly in the storm
I can feel your vibration
Now your soul has been torn
Won't you listen
I won't let them take you down!

I'm talkin' about your life
Keep on walkin', say it's alright
An invitation, room to breathe
I say a prayer
Now please don't leave


12. DON'T LOOK AWAY

If I could give you something
I would give you my soul to you
And I would never leave you
Now what am I to do?

The valley that we walk through
Is filled with despair
Life is a lonely river
But I'll be waiting here

Be still, be here, don't hide from me
Just try to be the one that you can
Time to remember
And try to discover
Don't look away

The elevator moves slowly
And I can hardly catch my breath
And I would never scold you
I'll see it through

Jag alskar dig
Jag behover dig nu
Min lilla blomma

Jag alskar dig
Jag behover dig nu
Min lilla blomma
