1. AIN´T YOUR CROWD

It's your own sound
It's your own voice
Your favourite weekend yellow flavour
Deaf and blind for someone else's choice

You've got your own perspective
A single one-track mind addictive

This ain't your crowd
This ain't your home
Leave this room

When you get hit,
by that ten-ton hammer of time
Getting sick, by your self-centred mind
Never mind, I left you behind

You've got your own perspective
A single one-track mind addictive

This ain't your crowd
This ain't your home


2. UNCONTROLLED

Old faves yes they do remind me
Of days when I was guided by lust
So, so, stu - stunning my steps to the beat
An intense release I'm starting to achieve

Belt buckle, bottles poppin' nostalgia ain't no stopping,
Nothing matters, 1 shot, 2 shots, right here right now with liquid feelings

Uncontrolled

So remind me of the days gone by
Your bright coloured t-shirt really does it for me
Old school romantics, c'mon shake my tree
I'm lost beyond the "gates of Babylon"

Belt buckle, bottles poppin', nostalgia ain't no stopping,
Nothing matters, 1 shot, 2 shots, right here right now with liquid feelings

Uncontrolled


3. YOU ARE

From the moment your eyes met mine,
I`ve been cheating the jaws of time,
facing up what you dished out to me,
with a whole lot of laughing.
From the second the parrot is free
there`s no question of where he should be,
burning bridges of home, he`s still here
whith a whole lot of nothing.

Oh as I`m dreaming I hear myself say
Why, why did you love me, come on and show me the way, you are.

A shining new star you come highly recommended,
(you are, you are)
we sailed the oceans on the tide, allthough our captain died,
with nothing left to hide, you are

Always busy, listening to you
always seemed like the thing to do
told myself what I pushed myself
for was your satisfaction.
While I`m working to pay my bills
and push the limit to get my thrills
truth is actually standing quite still,
not a whole lot of action.

Oh, now I`m dreaming I hear myself say
Why, why did you love me, come on and show me the way, you are.

A shining new star you come highly recommended,
(you are, you are)
a god forsaken sight in the middle of november,
(you are, you are)
the spirit of today like the children you defended,
(you are, you are)
we sailed the oceans on the tide, allthough our captain died,
with nothing left to hide, you are


4. HEY LORD

Getting ready for a new scene, everything's set to go
I've seen the payoffs to our new queen
billion-dollar cash machine
Make your stand
For your mind or attraction, for your friend or foe
For your love for the sacred, naked or blood boiling hatred
Just let me fi nish my cup

Been so long
End this song

Hey Lord, what are we waiting for
Everything seems so damned plastic
It wont last one minute more

Now it's time for commercial,with all your dreams at hand
All you need for your realized fantasies,
double all your needs
For your lifetime, for the day to come
Celebrate your love for the sacred,
naked or show me pure hatred

Been so long
End this song

Hey Lord, what are we waiting for
Everything seems so damned plastic
It wont last one minute more


5. BLACK AND BLUE SKIES (PART I)

Here I am for all to see, chasing the black and blue skies
Please dont call the cavalry, chasing the black and blue skies
Heres tomorrow now and zen, chasing the black and blue skies
Broken backs are always bent, chasing the black and blue skies

The stakes are high Is a magical ride and my only heart is open wide

Have you been around the bend, chasing the black and blue skies
Round the bend where all things end, chasing the black and blue skies
We dont need a plane or car, chasing the black and blue skies
Whithout faith we wont get far, chasing the black and blue skies

A road set on fi re Is a magical ride and my only heart is open wide

You promised to me all the bread and the wine
But what is the truth, is it yours is it mine?
You promised to me all the bread and the wine
But I`m left to beI finally decided to be free

Here I am for all to see, chasing the black and blue skies
It`s the last you`ll see of me, chasing the black and blue skies
So goodbye my lovely friends, chasing the black and blue skies
Hope we never meet again, chasing the black and blue skies

The stakes are high Is a magical ride and my only heart is open wide

You promised to me all the bread and the wine
But what is the truth, is it yours is it mine?
You promised to me all the bread and the wine
But I`m left to be I fi nally decided to be freer


6. CREEP

The rain in Spain comes pouring down
In a galaxy far far away
Mystery of my dream is always something
When the sun turns my night to day

Only one more web
Only one web to spin you´round
Spin my web of fantasy

Play this rhythm without missing a beat
A living insect you can tell it's a creep

By the movement in the shadows and the smell and the heat
With the sound of deadly nothing without crossing the street

The city weaves a cloth of hunger
Conquered by the night
On camera no one is getting any younger
Death is a dreadful sight

Only one more web
Only one web to spin you´round
Spin my web of fantasy

Play this rhythm without missing a beat?

A creepy crawler, on a creepy crawling crawl


7. BLACK BARN

Burning down the candle light,
the fear of walking holds us in a desperate attempt to feel,
scared to be no more
Black and white is on my mind
Holiness is in the meaning of surrender, by accepting,
every power over me I came to you, open hearted

Lucky was a sight to see
And when the premonitions started (Well)

You know me In the middle of the grand estate
I go walking on a dead mans lake
With a thought I cannot appreciate
It's the thought of days gone by

Watching horses on parade
Throwing back your chestnut colored
Hair in the wind, with playful eyes
And being scared no more
Loving friendship in our souls
Holiness was in the meaning of surrender
By accepting all the love that we did feel


8. STATE OF GRACE

There's no difference in making this holy
Makes no difference in making this right
Makes me not happier to see that you're lonely
Only turns my world around

So I say push the button to play
Drop the seeds of hate
'Cause tonight there's a different story to tell
In this room outside our shell

In the essence of our love
State of grace
'Cause tonight, by the fire of two souls In the light of the one
above In the presence of our love
State of grace

Makes no difference for me pretending diff
Makes no difference for you to stay cool
You're the one who returns what I'm sending
Makes me want to set up a new rule

So I say push the button to play
Drop the seeds of hate
'Cause tonight there's a different story to tell
In this room outside our shell

In the essence of our love
State of grace
'Cause tonight, by the fi re of two souls In the light of the one
above In the presence of our love State of grace


9. LANDING

(On the ground)
Landing - set for fi nal approach
Landing - in an aluminum coach
Landing - in a midwestern town
Landing - with my feet on the ground
(On the ground)
Landing - it's so good to come down
Landing - to see that truth can be found
Landing - how can we fl y anyway?
Landing - if we believe what they say

Burning rubber, we've touched the ground
What goes up needs to come down
That's all they said, you're alive or you're dead
Either way you should know where you are It's the law

(On the ground)
Landing - my body's weighing a ton
Landing - north of luckiest one
Landing - ready to look like a fool
Landing - to be closer to you
(On the ground)
Landing - some things are worth fi ghting for
Landing - the fear of loosing control
Landing - this is important to me
Landing - is what it takes to be free


10. CELEBRATION BOUND

On the bus at 5 a.m. I am on my way
A cross Atlantic fl ight ahead Atonement is today
Everything that is to be Is up there in the sky
As simple as it's hard for me
Destination, fly

All along my way I hear the calls to pray
Taking' off today Take off, before it sours

We'll fl y for hours You know, I'm Celebration bound
Take off, well doesn't it make sense?
Love knows no difference Hold on, I'm Celebration bound.

I saw your beacon from a far I heard your secret call
I'd love to have it out with you To be against the wall
The early morning light comes down In pink across the sky
I feel the wings inside me stir
Destination - fly

All along my way wa I say come what may
Taking off today


11. SUNSHINE SONG

On top of the world
A new style, a new way of life
Has been born under purple skies
With these three guides of mine
Serenity, grace and pride
Here I stand see the wind through my hair
I'm saving tomorrow for tomorrow
Until the river runs dry, I will try
But you know that

Ain't no sunshine when you ain't around
I'm a slave, addicted to the love we made
Predicted to be out of place
Like an ant carrying a cathedral
A total eclipse here at Lovers Bay

Here I stand see the wind through my hair
I'm saving tomorrow for tomorrow
Until the river runs dry, I will try
But you know that

Ain't no sunshine when you ain't around

Staring at the sun, leaves a blind spot
A perfect scenery
Staring at the sun, leaves me wondering
But now I'm... On top of the world
A new style, a new way of life
Has been born under purple skies
With these three guides of mine
Serenity, grace and pride

Here I stand on this big green lawn
I'm saving these words for someone else
Cause you know I will try to get by
But it seems like there's


12. CHICAGO BLUE

Outside the white snow, fall on my window,
just where the sunlight comes through
I know you raced on down to California
But I'm Chicago blue

Well, it could never have been that bad
No, you never saw me sad, girl
You never felt the chilly wind blow cold inside, You never have

Bye, bye baby bye
Come on girlfriend, come on fly
When you fl y into the sunset,
fl y and think of me in the classical Hollywood style

Outside my window, still fall the white snow
And where it melts there's new
How come you raced on down to California
When I'm Chicago blue

The neighbors ask me where you're at
I don't know how to answer that
Please send a postcard stating where, with who and why I'll understand

Bye, bye baby bye
Come on girlfriend, don't you cry
Watch me walk into the fire and
blaming it on you in the classical Hollywood style

Outside the white snow, fall on my window,
just where the sunlight comes through
I know you're raced on down to California
But I'm Chicago blue

Sometimes I hear a wind inside me say, "don't get me wrong,
The love you feel and the light in hers your own"
So, now you raced on down to California and I'm Chicago blue
