1.BACK IN YOUR FACE

Hey! Hey! Hey!

I'm back in your face like I've never been away
I'm back in your face and it's where I'm gonna stay
Like a runaway mack, lika a union jack
I'm back

Hey! Hey!
I can stand tall, I can stick out a mile
I can come crawlin' like a hungry reptile

I'm coming' around, I'm wired for sound
Shakin' it for all it's a-worth

I'm a spaced-out alien, a techno-sapien
Crashin' on down to earth

I'm back in your face like I've never been away
I'm back in your face and it's where I'm gonna stay
Like a runaway mack, like a union jack
I'm back

I can pour your drink, be the perfect host
I can scare the pants off the holiest ghost

I'm coming' around, I'm wired for sound
Shakin' it for all it's a-worth

I'm a spaced-out alien, a techno-sapien
Crashin' on down to earth

I'm back in your face like I've never been away
I'm back in your face and it's where I'm gonna stay
Like a runaway mack, like a union jack
I'm back

Back in the middle, back in the ring
Backin' a winner, it's a sure shot thing

Back in your good books I did you no wrong
Here I am honey, I'm back where I belong
Belong, belong, belong.....

I'm back
Well, I'm back
Yeah I'm back

You better believe that I'm back
Now lemme tell you I'm back
Can't you see that I'm back

Come on and do it, I'm back
There's nothing to it, I'm back

I'm back in your face like I've never been away
I'm back in your face and it's where I'm gonna stay
Like a runaway mack, like a union jack

I'm back in your face and don't it feel so good
I'm back in your face and just like I knew that it would
Like a runaway mack, like a union jack

Sheer heart attack and a Jumpin' jack flash
Like a leader of the pack
And as a matter of fact I'm back

2.PROMISES

Last night I was blown away
I said a million things I'd never say

I was knocked right down, it got to me
Gonna get me some of your chemistry

You want me to promise you
That everything is true

I won't make promises that I can't keep
I won't make promises that I don't mean

I'll even mean the things I tell you in my sleep, yeah
I won't make promises babe, that I can't keep

Oh my my, I lost control
I told you everything, I said it all
You came right out and said to me
"Gonna get me some of your honesty"

You want me to promise you
That everything is true

I won't make promises that I can't keep
I won't make promises that I don't mean

I'll even mean the things I tell you in my sleep, yeah
I won't make promises babe, that I can't keep

You want me to promise you
That everything is true

I won't make promises that I can't keep
I won't make promises that I don't mean

I'll even mean the things I whisper in my sleep
Oh, let me tell you
I won't say a single thing darling, that you can't believe
You gotta believe me

I won't make promises that I can't keep
Oh baby believe me now

I won't make promises that I don't mean
Oh baby believe me now

I'll even mean the things I tell you my sleep, yeah
I won't make promises that I can't keep
Baby, you gotta believe me now

3.WORLDS COLLIDE

Never gonna die now
Crawling from a wrecked jam, I'm laughing out loud
Angel on my shoulder

Living at the speed of sound
Heavenly distraction

I'm hanging on the edge and spinning out of control
Choose your medication
It's a generation overload

I can see it falling from the sky
Can you feel me

I can hear you calling when you cry
Can you see me
Pain and suffering, your knees are tied

Will you hear me
Everchanging as your worlds collide

Running going nowhere
Take it to the limit then it's payback time
Nothing but a heartache

Waiting at the end of the line
Take a look around, babe
You're looking down the barrel of a loaded mind

Generation landslide
Crawling through the enemy lines

I will be the one your justify
Will you hear me
I will kiss you with a last goodbye

I thought I was the one who could survive
Does anyone get outta here alive

I gotta find the courage, gotta make a change
And start all over again
Taken for a ride against my will

And taking it is always such a bitter pill
Shaken for the sake of it, no more
Gotta get away cause I don't know what I'm doing it for

I can see it falling from the sky
Can you feel me

I can hear you calling when you cry
Can you see me
I will be there when you close your eyes

Will you hear me
Everchanging as your worlds collide
