1. THE ENEMY WITHIN

Blinded by his head lights closing fast
What's the hurry, what's the rush?
He's riding my tail and won't back off
Reckless, taking my life in his hands
He’s got nothin' left to lose

Madness inside us
Heaven shed some light upon us
Madness all around us
How do we survive?

Twist of fate - love and hate
When destruction's at the gate
Caught up in this world of sin
I fight the enemy within

He knocks her to the ground - he's drunk again
Puts the kids in bed and cries
She's seen the fire in his eyes
Finds her courage with a kitchen knife
She'll be fighting for her life

Madness inside us
Heaven send a light to guide us
Madness all around us
How do we survive?

Twist of fate - love and hate
When destruction's at your gate
Caught up in this world of sin
Sanity is wearing thin
We always fight the enemy within

You can bet your life
You always pay the price
When in your mind
It's do or die

Madness inside us
Heaven shed some light upon us
Madness all around us
How can we survive?

Twist of fate - love and hate
When destruction's at your gate
Caught up in this world of sin
We fight the enemy within

Point of view - changing fast
Helter skelter soon will pass
Caught up in this world of sin
We fight the enemy within


2. SIGN UP FOR LOVE

I walk into the light and face the preacher
I'm about to take my life in my hands
I hope to God I've made the right decision
All my fears could soon be realized
No memory haunt me
No strings left untied
My hands are wet from nervous conversation
That this could be a turning point in my life
I kiss the diamond then the room starts spinning
I lift the veil and say I do or I die

[Chorus:]
Sign up for love
Sign up for destiny (ecstasy)
Satisfaction almost guaranteed
Sign up for love
Take away the mystery
Then I’ll learn what love’s supposed to be

If I can finally be a man of reason
If honesty can truly be my guide
As long as we agree to keep creating
We can leave the painful past behind
We’ll both keep it together
For the promises we’ve made

[Chorus]

We know what we need and we want the same things
We’ve made an agreement that we both can keep


3. HOME AWAY FROM HOME

Warriors from every zone
Fighting for the world they know
Up here in the sky they see
My ship yes, I'm the enemy
Mighty blasts losing fast
They're hiding as I hover past
No way to win, battles cries,
I've caught this species by surprise
They're fighting for survival of their kind

[Chorus:]
Thousands of years from flesh to bone
Mindless children sticks and stones
So many millions with no hope
I'll take this thoughtless planet for my Home
Away from Home

Centuries have come and gone
No difference between right and wrong
One step forward, three steps back
The power aphrodisiac
Around the sun as earth revolves
I'll help these beings to evolve
This wanderer will take the prize
Each one soon will realize
No more greed and lies
Take vengence from their eyes

[Chorus]

History of war and hate
New/each generation same old fate
Evaluations separate
Too many millions with no hope
I'll take this thoughtless planet for my Home
Away from Home


4. IN THE SHADOWS

Soon they'll trip the wire - exploding glass and fire
They're tryin' take me down without a fight
Nothin' left to lose - penitentiary blues
In and out so long now I don't care
When the wind blows
You never know who holds the rusty-blade
In the shadows
I'll disappear into thin air without a trace

[Chorus:]
I...ain't waitin' for my number to expire
I...I've gonna live my life by my desire

I'm better on the street - pavement 'neath my feet
Helicopter searchlights all around
Hell begins to rain - yeah, pain's my middle name
Those burnin' blades will never chase me down

When the smoke clears
Survival soon becomes your only friend
Like some nightmare
While you pretend the fear begins it knows no end

[Chorus]

(I'll) take my life into my bloody hands
Because there's something I need to discover
Before I hear that reaper call my name
I'll take it to the limit, let the pendulum swing wide,
Until my time has come


5. HOW DO WE STAY IN LOVE

From the sacred cup of faith, they take their fill
Believing every promise as they say, I will.
Perfection and honor
Loving no other, this way
Celebration soon becomes reality
The world begins to take them further from their dream
Hope turns to reason
Innocence starts, to fade
The taming of the flame

How do we stay in-love?
The more we try it just can't be found
Just a carousel going 'round
How do we stay in-love?
Where do you find the spark in the night
When you're holding on tight
And it doesn't feel right
Where's the love?

Cupids broken arrows lying on the ground
There's not an ounce of passion left to go around
So much desire
How did we get here from there
Can't bear another tear

How do we stay in-love? ...

Cuz when we're together
Yeah, we can do no wrong
We cling to each other
We keep on keepin' on
So much that we can rise above
Each day
Yeah love was blind
And then it changed
We gotta see the larger picture
We're building something so much bigger
With a lot of trust and admiration
Let's/and leave behind evaluation

How do we stay in-love?
It's nothing we should be a-shamed of
Can't make it feel like it was
It just happens, it does
How do we stay in-love?
We try so hard it just can't be found
Just a carousel going 'round
How do we stay in-love?
We gotta get to truth and what's right
When we turn off the lights
we've got nothing to hide
We'll find com passion inside
Let our hearts be our guide
We'll find love

And finally what we once had, will come alive
The worth of happiness, in time, we'll realize


6. MY TIME

I'd need to trade some overtime for playtime
And leave behind the same old daily grind
For once I'd like to stand and feel the sunshine
I gonna do what I decide on my time...

I keep working as the hours, fade away
Bite my tongue and keep a big smile on my face
I've been that other guy that sweats all the time
Can't make ends meet with his ass on the line
He can't keep up - he keeps falling behind,
It's a long road

When the clock strikes four, I'm out that door
And my life becomes my own
I won't have to be accounted for
Work my fingers to the bone
My time ain't gonna be no work time

I won't let another weekend slip away
Gonna take my precious freedom, every day
I won't complain or moan and talk on the phone
Or show up late no I won't throw stones
I'll do my job and I'll do it right
Cuz it's a long road

When the clock strikes four, I'm out that door
And my life becomes my own
I won't have to be accounted for
Work my fingers to the bone
No more ringing of a thousand phones
Someone always wanting more
I can rest my feet, be worry-free
In the comfort of my home

Soon I'll sign my name and cash my paycheck
Though a dollar now ain't worth a dime
But I'll be kickin' back and watchin' Star Trek
Yeah I don't mind I'm gonna unwind, I will decide
Because it's my time

When the clock strikes four, I'm out that door
And my life becomes my own
I won't have to be accounted for
Work my fingers to the bone
No more ringing of a thousand phones
Someone always wanting more
I can rest my feet, watch DVD’s,
You can find me in the zone
My time ain't gonna be no work time


7. ALIVE

My eyes are red with pride
And too many days of gazing towards the sun
My hair in braids and tied
Dark with painted face I beat the drum

I've found my prey tonight
I slowly take aim as he walks into the light
I sense the fear inside
I let me arrow fly
The ghost that is driving me is a spirit that won't die
It's like I've been here before cause I know the battle Cry

[Chorus:]
Alive - I'm gonna survive just to keep my tribe
Alive - I've been a warrior throughout time - alive

And when I dream at night
I've got my bow and arrow at my side
Just like a hawk in flight
Circling for my prize
The fury inside of me is a fire burning bright
A feeling I can’t contain that's hungry for a fight

[Chorus]

Little Bighorn, Mountain Meadows, Wounded Knee

I hear the battle cry
As warriors, as hunters, there's no place left to go

Alive – I will survive just to keep my tribe
Alive - I've been fighting battles throughout time
Alive - I'm gonna survive just to keep my tribe
Alive - I've been a warrior throughout time


8. UNINVITED GUEST

She's burnin' like a cinder
I said, I don't remember.
Volcana, yeah, she's ready to blow
I know I shoulda listened
I shoulda paid attention
I'll cut my loss and see how it goes

The more I talk, the more there's smoke
The other side of love
She won't be calmin' down, I know
A time bomb at the end of the road

When an uninvited guest
At your door, comes a knockin’
Stirring up a hornet's nest
The choice will be up to you
whether you win or lose
You can use your head now
Or let your feelin's run away

I'm payin' at the counter
Just mindin' my own business,
A guy comes up pulls out a knife
He says, give me your money,
And don't try nothin' funny
His buddy's/partner's walkin' up from behind

The best laid plans of mice and men
Temper's running high
You take a chance that you think's right
You're at the wrong place at the wrong time
Anger didn't serve me,
Didn't think they'd hurt me,
The worst mistake I made in my life

When an uninvited guest
At your door, comes a knockin'
Messin' with your mind each time
Don't let him in there?
The uninvited guest
I'm sayin', who knew?
Emotional distress, you see
The choice will be up to you
Whether you win or lose
You can use your head now
Or let your feelin's run away

Just one way to help us
Cooler heads prevail us
Nothin' else can save us


9. HOW CAN I CHANGE THE WORLD

I hear it on the news
Political excuse
But nothing's getting done
No battle's being won
It's the same though history
Double-talk complacency
We make new enemies
Osing credibility
We see what we believe
To satisfy our needs

How can I change the world?
If I look the other way
Or wait another day
How can I change the world?
Just a man is all I am
Doin’ everything I can
Who dares to give a damn

Tell me what's the price
To sustain our way of life
How can we empathize
Beyond the bottom line
It can’t be real to me
when I turn on my t.v.
There is no poverty
That’s rationality?
Decision to believe
No one could disagree

How can I change the world?

Can anybody see
Beyond economy
When human nature calls us back for more more war

How can we change the world?
There’s gotta be a better plan
For the family of man
How can we change the world?
Heaven’s sake, let’s educate
No sacrifice will be too great
How can we change the world?
Can’t afford to hesitate
Or look the other way
How can we change the world?
One man is all I am,
Doing everything I can
Who dares to give a damn


10. FLIYING HIGH

Painfully crawling
Thousands of cars and I can't move on
Stuck on this highway
I'll find some way out of this daily grind,
Leave the crowd behind
I'd rather be up above all the trees where the clouds are Floating by me
Rise up so high in my flyin' machine,
Where the wind takes Me,
I’ll be free

Flying high
I will be soaring across the sky
I’ll be flying high
I'll be the master of my own time

Too many people
I feel the anger in the way they drive
Way up above them
They'll look with envy as-they watch the sky
Who's that lucky guy
I'd rather be up above all of-the trees
Where the clouds go racing by me
Way up so high in my flyin' machine,
Where the wind takes Me,
I’ll be free

Flying high...

Hot acceleration
Not a care or worry on my mind
G force in my face, yeah
Finally feel some power in my hands
I Won't be just another grain of sand

I’ll be flying high
I will be soaring across the sky
I’ll be flying high
I'll be the master of my own time
I’ll be flying high
I will be soaring
I’ll be flying high
I’ll be the master of my own time


11. SWORN TO SILENCE

There's a weight on my shoulders
Enemies of my past
Plastic smiles to get me by
Moving from mask to mask
Every time I turn around
The demon's at the door
Damned if I do, damned if I don't
Cut by a double edged sword
Half truths and little white lies
A slip of the tongue at just the wrong time
Could lead to my demise

[Chorus:]
Cuz I'm sworn to silence
There's nothing I can do
Bound by every word, a captive on this ship of fools
Yes I'm sworn to silence
Afraid they'll see through my disguise
I've closed my eyes

The secrets frozen cold
It chills me to the bone
Until this storm is over
Emotions turned to stone
I've been running from my shadows
They spill into my dreams
Each day my reality is like a silent scream
Half truths and little white lies
A slip of the tongue at just the wrong time
Could lead to my demise

[Chorus]

For one who's not a player
Or an actor on a stage
This is my best performance
Inside this empty cage


12. MY BEAUTIFUL DISTRACTION

Don't know how
I'll ever make this deadline
I've worked my fingers right to the boone
No, not now
Can't take another question
I'm buried with my nose to the grindstone

The clock is tickin' it's a quarter to five now
Don't wanna be here but my job's on the line
My ears are ringin' goin' outta my mind now
This can't go continue cuz I'm screamin' inside

I feel my Heart start to pound
It's like there's no one around
Yeah the world’s slowin’ down
We're alone in the crowd
In the crowd

She's the main attraction
A welcome sight for tired eyes
She gets the right reaction
My beautiful distraction

I must be lookin' stupid
Try to wipe the dumb-ass look off my face
She talks to me
Goddess undisputed
I'd love to get her outta this place, now

The jaws are droppin' on the faces around me
I'm freakin' tryin' to think of somethin' to say
She whispers in my ear, she wants to be with me
Just keep your cool man, this is your lucky day

Yeah my heart starts to pound
It's like there's no one around
And my world slows way down
We're alone in the crowd
She's the one, she's a find
She's a one of a kind
But now my wife's on the line
Better be home on time

She's the main attraction
A welcome sight for tired eyes
She gets the right reaction
My beautiful distraction
